Return to story
His weight down to 301, Ralph Friedgen says he's adjusting to smaller clothes.
GREENSBORO, N.C.--Ralph Friedgen still wears the extra-long belt he received as a gift a few years ago. When he first tried to wrap it around his ample waist, there was a two-inch gap between the buckle and the tip.
Yesterday, Friedgen showed that he now can fasten the belt on the skinniest hole. "I need to get another belt," he said with considerable pride.
Coaches normally can't stomach losing. But when it comes to Friedgen's gut, less is definitely more.
When the University of Maryland begins preseason practice next week, the Terrapins' coach will be far less of a man than he was at this time last year. Roughly 95 pounds, to be exact, thanks to a rigorous diet that may not win him more games, but could extend his life.
"I like the look," said Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer, a longtime friend who worked with Friedgen at The Citadel more than 30 years ago. "I'm proud of him. He looks great. I've got pictures of him when he was about 240."
At 62, Friedgen may never be that slim again. He says he still weighs 306, so he's not exactly a mini-Fridge. Still, he looks--and says he feels--much better than he did a year ago, when his weight ballooned to 401.
Coaching football has never been a job for the anorexic. Long hours, constant travel and intense pressure to win can lead to poor eating habits and an unhealthy lifestyle. And as his duties kept expanding--head coach, de facto offensive coordinator and fundraiser at his alma mater--so did Friedgen's waistline.
But you don't see many obese people in their 70s. And Friedgen comes from a diabetic family, so he had plenty of risks.
Said Beamer: "Everyone, including Ralph, knew he needed to lose weight."
Friedgen has always been a master of game plans, but his strategies were usually designed for someone else. He dieted a few years back, with alumni pledging donations for every pound he dropped. But they reneged, and Friedgen's weight came back--and then some.
Finally last fall, he listened to the advice of his doctors and the pleas of his wife, Gloria, and their three daughters.
"They wanted to see me healthy," Friedgen said yesterday at the Atlantic Coast Conference Football Kickoff media festivities. "So I decided to give it a try."
With the help of a diet company called Medifast, Friedgen drastically altered his eating habits. He grudgingly gave up pasta--"I married an Italian, for one, so that was hard," he said with a grin--and alcohol.
His daily regimen now includes 4 ounces of oatmeal for breakfast, soup at lunch and occasional protein bars during the day. He tries to eat small meals every three hours instead of three big ones to trick his body's metabolism into increasing. He also eschews the Terrapins' training table, eating in his office to avoid temptation.
He dropped 16 pounds (mostly water weight) in the first week of his diet, although he admits it altered his blood sugar and left him dizzy on hot days. But he has stuck to it and said his most recent blood-pressure reading was a very normal 128/78.
"The first 50 pounds were easy," he said. "It got tougher after that."
While Friedgen was shedding pounds, he didn't lose his sense of humor. He said that when the Terps traveled to Boise, Idaho's famous blue field for the Humanitarian Bowl last December, the mother of former star receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey paid him a compliment.
"I had lost about 60 pounds by that point, and she said, 'Coach, the blue field makes you look skinny.' I said. 'We've got to get one of these at Maryland.'"
Instead, the Terps are investing in facility upgrades, including corporate suites at Byrd Stadium. So while their home field grows larger, their coach gets smaller.
Friedgen's ultimate but unlikely goal is to drop 150 pounds. He said that if he can dip below 300, he and his friend, Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid (who's reportedly 75 pounds lighter), may tape commercials for Medifast.
Regardless, he plans to keep the weight off for good this time. And he doesn't need a scale to tell if he's winning this battle.
"Going on a diet is like keeping score," he said. "I used to weigh myself every day. Now, it's maybe once a week. But I've gotten to the point where I can tell from my clothes whether I'm losing weight."

Soup in Los Angeles: Please help, major craving
- l
- Leslie Jul 12, 2004 02:54 AM
I am in some need of some major help from all Los Angeles chows. I know it is summer, but... I have been having major cravings for soup. Whether it be lobster bisque, clam chowder, cream of anything, onion soup, roasted tomato soup, lentil...any kind, as long as it is good. Is there anything out here that is similar to either a St. Louis Bread Company, or a soup nazi (seinfeld reference) in the greater los angeles area? I am willing to drive, I am that desperate.
Please help! thank you!
Once again, I must refer you behind the Orange Curtain.
Foscari usually has a cream soup each evening. THeir soups are creamy but not heavy or floury, tasting fully of their primary ingrdient: Tomato, Eggplant (yes, and mighty good!), Mushroom, Cauiflower, etc.
You might want to call before going since you're coming from LA, but I've never been disapointed with their soups.
Closer to home, my family likes the Lobster Bisque at Hamburger Hamlet.

re: Mr Grub
Speaking of pozole, I love the pozole at La Cabanita in the La Canada/Flintridge/Montrose area. Although it can occasionally be too salty, when it's on-- it's on.
Mr. Taster
re: Mr Grub
Totally agree with the Mario's suggestion. The other soups there are also excellent. Also, the middle eastern restaurant Marouch (4905 SM Blvd in Hollywood) does an unusual and excellent lentil soup.
re: Mr Grub
Minor correction. Pozole is actually at the stand (name escapes me) adjacent Chichen Itza. While you are there, tho, scarf the cochinita pibil at Chichen Itza -- outstanding.
re: Mr Grub
The stand immediately adjacent to Chichen Itza is (I'm pretty sure) Tacqueria Vista Hermosa, which also has really nice al pastor. Haven't tried their pozole, but I'll give it a whirl next time I'm there.
Here are a few casual picks. Al Gelato on Robertson & Gregory has a terrific vegetable soup. It's thick and hearty, comes in a huge bowl with terrific bread to boot. And then you can, of course, top it all off with a yummy gelato. This is a casual place, that you can easily dine alone for lunch. Phone is (310) 659-8069. Another favorite is Hamburger Hamlet for onion soup fondue.
re: Scooty
Almost all of Al Gelato's soups are terrific. I have especially liked the chicken noodle, pea, and potato soups. A great meal from there can be had by ordering soup plus either some pasta with tomato-basil sauce and a giant meatball or two, or their exceptional combination Italian pizza. The only problem (other than the unpredictability of what will be available, as Scooty notes) is that they don't pack the soup for take-out very well, and more than once I have suffered significant spillage in the car on the way home.
re: Mr. Taster
If you're from the valley (like I am, okay I can admit it after 10 years of therapy -- hee, hee) than HH is what you've grown up on. And yes, I think the onion soup fondue is the best thing there... that and some potato skins and you've got yourself a nice comfort meal. This is not fine dining but comfort dining. As for the hamburgers -- I've never thought they were anything that special... I usually go & get the soup.
One other soup that we always get, each time we visit, is the tortilla soup at 17 St. Cafe on Montana just west of 17th on the south side of the street. Excellent soup. Also, if they are offering their Maui Onion soup we get that over the tortilla soup, but for some inexplicable reason they don't serve it very often.
Also terrific at the WATER GRILL is the Applewood bacon clam chowder. Yum.
And I think about the best soup in town can be found at POLKA, the tiny, wonderful Polish restaurant in Glendale. They only have one choice a day (it rotates) but it is always one of the best bowls of homecooked soup I have ever had.
Second recommendations for Mi India Bonita and Polka, and add Sarita's Pupuseria at the Grand Central Market for amazing beef and chicken soups, and Daikokuya on 1st for ramen/pork soup. Real Food Daily has a daily soup that can be quite good too. Also La Serenata has great soups, at all locations, I think, although it may only be east LA that serves it automatically as part of the meal. The lima bean is especially good.
Frank's Famous in Glendale serves different homemade soups every day: Mon - Chicken, Cream of Mushroom; Tue - Lentil, Cream of Zucchini; Wed - Split Pea, Tomato Basil; Thu - Pinto Bean, Carrot; Fri - Chicken, Clam Chowdah; Sat - Minestrone, Clam Chowdah. A pretty good homemade sourdough bread too.
I had a *wonderful* bowl of duck noodle soup at the Wat Thai temple in north hollywood, Roscoe and Coldwater. Only problem is that it was way to hot to be eating soup outdoors.
Mr. Taster
re: jacinthe
The strachiatella soup at Doughboys is good, and a huge bowl makes it a good value. Incidentally, I'd steer clear of the garlic soup, which was so strong that it tasted like it contained a whole bulb.
Mr. Taster
CitySearch gave Amuse Café the highest rating for soup in the city! Their Chilled Roasted Red Pepper-Tomato soup rules! Check out their new hours at http://www.amusecafe.com/. They are finally getting their beer and wine license!!!!
Also add to your list of soups to try:
- whole winter melon soup from Empress Pavilion (must order in advance)
- mushroom soup from Girasole on Larchmont (soup changes daily, so you have to call and check)
- hot & sour soup from Mandarin Shanghai
- clam chowder from Doughboys (French Onion was too salty, and garlic soup was so intense it gave me a stomach-ache)
- vegetable from Amandine Bakery & Cafe
- lentil soup (vegetarian, I think) from Carnival
re: the word girl
Would have agreed on Authentic had I not returned there for the first time in 6-9months last week for that express purpose. Place was empty and I had to seek out service. It was my waiter's last night (after 9 years) and he said the place had gone dead. My tortilla soup was like a chef boyardee puree in a cup with tortilla strips. Sadly not what it used to be. I got a tortilla chicken breast too, always their star performer, and it was gummy and tasteless. I was a regular here years ago and very sorry to see it come to this.
I love soup, too!
Tomato Basil: One Pico at Shutters in SM
LemonRice: Malvasia on 2nd St in Long Bch
Spicy Shimp Miso: Chan Dara on Pico (near Bundy) in SM
Also, this place as THE BEST soups in LA and they rotate several daily specials.. We often head there for lunch for just soup, which they're known for, but my favs that they serve: lentil, califlower, or leek. They often make them WITHOUT cream and the result is amazingly creamy even!

I like a nice mexican spicy seafood soup, and have found one on Slauson ave. just east of Overhill at "Puerto Nuevo", a tiny eatery stuck between a Japanese grill place and some stores. Fish, shrimp, several crab legs in a fairly hot red broth with onions etc.
Sadly, PN does not serve PN-style lobsters.
Hey Leslie... Where in LA are you from? I'm in WEST Los angeles. Although it's borderline Corporate, PANERA bread makes some touch-myself good soups (Baked Potato, Broccoli Cheddar, Chix with Wild Rice). WHOLE FOODS has quite a decent selection of meaty-good and seafood-packed soups. And, MY PERSONAL FAVORITE would most certainly be the BAGEL FACTORY (Sepulveda and National), which sells SONNY'S SOUPS (vegetarian, but amazing - I'm usually anti-veggie). If you get a chance to go to the BAGEL FACTORY, try the Very Veggie Chii, or the Tortilla. Both will make you wanna go back for a vat of the stuff.
re: WORX4FUDE
I really like the California Clam Chowder at Ocean and Vine at the Loews, and Drago has a very good bread and tomato soup.
re: WORX4FUDE
FYI...PANERA and ST LOUIS BREAD are the same company...I was stuck in Branson MO for 5 years and I got hooked on their "chicken and wild rice" soup...craved it, then yippeee, a PANERA opened on Ventura/Laurel and I was saved...loved the sandwhiches there until I found the Artisian Cheese Gallery, and now, I can never go back to the Panera sandwhiches...I'm spoiled! the cheese gallery ROCKS!!!
re: tatertotsrock
Whoa whoa whoa. SLow down. Where is this Cheese Gallery you speak of? I'm SO there.
re: WORX4FUDE
re: Servorg
off the soup thing for a second - the duck confit sandwhich at Artisan Cheese is to die for!! If you go, have one!!
I'm an 818-er so, for soup I'd say Brent's Deli, Dos Arbolitos, Follow Your Heart - or for the very best, I make it myself! ;)

re: foodmanchu
That's the "endless bowl" right? Is is a clear-ish broth, or a tomato-ish broth? I'm more of a clear, chicken based broth kinda guy. I was eyeballing that the other day but lacked the sack, if you will, to go for it.

As a small business owner you are obviously not only concerned with how to cut costs and how to run your business efficiently. One other major concern for you should be your employee's and your entire company's safety. This includes the various aspects when it comes to workplace safety and ergonomics but even more so when it comes to the critical issue of fire safety within your company's premises.
The good thing here is that it doesn't take too much to ensure proper fire safety measures, at least the basic things are often rather straight-forward and easy to implement. Among those basic measures for better protection from fires could be things like having sufficient fire extinguishers accessible throughout your building along with a number of strategically placed smoke detectors and smoke alarms. All those things are easy to do and today are likewise comparably affordable.
For certain types of businesses with special requirements (either due to the nature of the building or the business type itself) there exist more complex and more elaborate fire prevention measures.
One of those fire prevention measures you can find in commercial structures all throughout the UK today are dry riser systems. Those systems are basically pipes that run through your premises allowing a fire engine to pump and distribute water into the system in the case of an emergency. Dry riser outlets in certain, strategic areas within the building make it then possible that the water can be accessed for the purpose of fire fighting.
What's important to know here is that UK law mandates regular dry riser testing to make sure that the system is operating flawlessly. In the UK, certain companies offer dry riser testing for that purpose.
Other systems, like the Detectomat or modern wireless fire detection systems exist also. What specific fire prevention and fire suppression system your company requires can best be found out if you talk to your local fire brigade. They can let you know about the local fire prevention laws and what you need to do for maximum fire safety.

Oct 5, 2011I bought this game expecting an updated My Player mode like they'd been hyping up in the previews of the game. Not only was it the exact same My Player mode as last year, but online play/roster updates have been eliminated completely.
So, basically, the game you are purchasing is 2K11 with July 2011 rosters, some old school teams, and no online play.
Save yourself some money and buy 2K11. This one is a definite bust.… Expand
Jul 14, 2012A very fun game, despite the somewhat poor graphics. As a big basketball fan, it was fun to play as my favorite teams. Not as good as some of the previous NBA games, but still a very good game, particularly for basketball fans.
Nov 9, 2011It is identical to NBA 2K11, except for the elimination of online. Hard to recommend it to anyone, although it is a good simulation of basketball.
Oct 24, 2011An incredible package deal, but one with a potentially overwhelming amount of content. The difficulty curve is steep, but if you've been playing NBA 2K titles in recent years, you should be able to pick it up fairly quickly, as by all accounts the control scheme is not particularly different from last year's game.

Woman suffers fractured skull, bleeding on brain after Carlisle attack
Published at 12:16, Thursday, 22 November 2012
A woman suffered a fractured skull as she tried to break up a fight between two men on a Carlisle street.
Police have released CCTV footage of the incident - which took place on Sunday, October 28 - in a bid to try and find her attacker.
The 24-year-old was attempting to break up the fight at Court Square when she was floored with a punch to the head.
As well as the fractured skull, she also suffered bleeding on the brain.
She is convalescing at home.
Detective Constable Steve Whitehead said: "This woman was acting as a peacekeeper and attempted to stop two men from fighting, which I believed showed extreme courage.
"We are particularly keen to speak to the witnesses to the incident who clearly assist the victim after the assault and anyone who recognises the man who threw the punch."
Anyone with any information can contact Carlisle CID on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Brewed today - before the Packer game of course... ;o)
I wanted to brew an IPA (my first)...after much research and pondering, I came up with the following recipe. I started out with BYO's all grain recipe for DFH 90 minute IPA - made an attempt at converting it to a partial mash recipe, and used what hops I had available. I think in retrospect, I used too much LME - definitely too much amber...this turned out much darker than desired. Tasted the wort before pitching the yeast - it was pretty dang bitter...kind of scary...
2 lbs American 2-row - steeped to just before boil
12 lbs Amber LME
1 oz Nugget - added gradually between 60 and 35 minutes
1 oz Simcoe - added gradually between 35 and 20 minutes
1 oz Amarillo - added gradually between 20 and 0 minutes
Wyeast German ale yeast
current plan is to dry-hop 1/2 oz each of Simcoe and Amarillo
Anyone have any thoughts on this puppy?
is that a 5 gallon batch? that is going to be one strong IPA!
5 gallons in the carboy ('cause that's what I have... ;o) ), but was planning to mix in a gallon of water before bottling. My thought is even at that, it'll still be a pretty strong IPA... I'm just hop(p)ing it's not too overpowering - I'm a hop-head, but this seems pretty strong...
Dry hop for 2 weeks as the malt profile warrants it. It's for flavor, not bitterness.

Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment
At the risk of showing my lack of reading and rampant ignorance, will the flavor/aroma imparted by dry hopping help balance out any bitterness?

What temp did you ferment at?
Here's a lil primer on dry hopping:http://byo.com/departments/1105.html
Pitched yeast at about 72 deg., and it's happily perking away this morning (actually, it's blowing off rather heavily...) My basement stays between 62 and 72 degrees most of the year, so that is my default fermenting temp. Some day I am planning to buy a fridge, drill it out, and turn it into a kegerator - I'm a few dollars short of buying corny kegs and going that route (I am dropping some major Christmas hints though, so we'll see...). Anywho, once I have the fridge facilities, I can screw around with fermenting temps (I am super-eager to brew a lager...!!!)
edit - typo...
That sounds like a damn good IPA to me. My last one was 76IBU and rocked. If the hop flavor is too much for you, it will mellow out over time in the bottles.
Make Beer, Not War.
What was the OG on that puppy? That's going to be a big IPA. It'll take some conditioning time, but I bet it turns out great.
+1 on the dry hopping motion.

Torrie Wilson partied out in the islands for New Year's Eve, and the former WWE diva was nice enough to post a picture for us on Instagram.
Dolph Ziggler, Maryse Ouellet, Miz, John Morrison and several other people partied together on Halloween.
About seven years ago, Candice Michelle had her nose broken after taking a headbutt from Beth Phoenix. The former WWE diva has now decided to get that fix by going in for surgery. She noted that she was able to breathe a lot better afterwards.
Even though she is no longer with the company, WWE has decided to feature Beth Phoenix and her Glam Slam finisher on an episode of 30 Second Fury.
Former WWE diva Beth Phoenix wishes her boyfriend Edge a happy 40th birthday.
Edge won Royal Rumble 2010 by last eliminating John Cena. The other contestants in the match include Batista, Beth Phoenix, Big Show, Carlito, Chris Jericho, Chris Masters, CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, Evan Bourne, Great Khali, Jack Swagger, John Morrison, JTG, Kane, Kofi Kingston, Mark Henry, Matt Hardy, MVP, R Truth, Shawn Michaels, Shelton Benjamin, Ted DiBiase, The Miz, Triple H, Yoshi Tatsu and Zack Ryder.

Hungry Girl Lisa Lillien is over those measly snack packs. Her combos are twice as satisfying, with just a few extra good-for-you calories.

Turkey breast slices, spreadable Swiss cheese, and cucumber spears
You might not think of deli turkey as a snack, but it's fantastic when you pair two ounces with a Laughing Cow Light cheese wedge and roll it around a couple of cucumber spears. Keep all three in your office fridge for an anytime mini meal.

I started to learn drawing in 2004, after having to leave this activity aside because of my studies. I took over in 2011, adapting a manga style.
I created this profile in order to publish some of my drawings. I don't pretend to know how to draw, or be an artist. So bear with me !
Unfortunately some administrators of group pride themselves on being elitist, claiming to seek "beauty and perfection" purely subjective, getting rid of the friendly aspect of the site by rejecting works. In addition, their comments are often very offensive to the author.
Others mistakenly believe that my drawings are ... unfinished.
I don't claim success - because I'm learning alone and it's hard - I have not had a chance to make the School of Fine Arts and so I cannot do portraits with sumptuous decorations that resemble pictures.
And I don't 5 minutes to draw, even a sketch !
If however you find a little pleasure in visiting my gallery, I am delighted
Finally, if only one or more of my drawings you want for your gallery, submit them directly without asking me to join a group, thank you.

Spring storm to produce sloppy mess
Updated On: Apr 04 2014 08:34:51 AM CDT
A strong early spring storm could bring a trace to 2 inches of snow in the La Crosse area Friday and between 6-12 (or more) inches of snow in northern Wisconsin.
StormTeam 8 Meteorologist Michelle Poedel says further north in the Chippewa Valley, 2-5 inches will be possible.
Due to the potential for accumulating snow and ice, the National Weather Service has upgraded the WINTER STORM WATCH to a WINTER STORM WARNING in effect tonight & Friday for Clark, Chippewa & Dunn counties. Anywhere from 3" to 7" of snow will be possible in these areas, along with ice accumulations up to about a 1/4" from sleet & freezing rain.
A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY is now in effect tonight & Friday for Eau Claire, Pepin, Wabasha, Winona, Fillmore, Buffalo, Trempealeau & Jackson counties. Anywhere from 1" to 5" of snow will be possible in these areas, along with minor icing from sleet & freezing rain.
The heaviest band of snow (6-12+ inches) still looks to extend from SW Minnesota to near/north of the Twin Cities into far Northern Wisconsin. Some areas could also see minor ice accumulations up to a ¼ of an inch, mainly north of I-90.
Stay tuned for updates on News8000.com and on the WKBT StormTeam 8 Weather Facebook page.

NEW YORK (AP) - Proving nothing is impossible in the world of daytime television, Rosie O'Donnell is coming back to "The View" - at least for a day.
The show announced Monday that O'Donnell will be a guest on the daytime gabfest on Feb. 7. O'Donnell's tenure as a panelist on the ABC show seven years ago was notably stormy. O'Donnell said after leaving that she had experienced something like post-traumatic stress disorder, and show creator Barbara Walters said she resented the way O'Donnell dumped on the show.
Walters said Monday that she has great affection for O'Donnell. She called O'Donnell a lively and engaging guest who is a part of the show's history.
This is Walters' last season on "The View."

Rayner Spencer Mills adds Ignis European Smaller Cos to Rated Fund list
Related fund data links
Financial research firm Rayner Spencer Mills has added Ignis European Smaller Companies to its Rated Fund list, one of only two funds to achieve a rating in the IMA European Smaller Companies sector.
The Ignis European Smaller Companies Fund, managed by Ian Ormiston, was the top ranked vehicle in the IMA European Smaller Companies sector during 2013, returning 48.3 per cent against an average rise of 30.8 per cent1.
Ormiston's fund is also top ranked over five years, delivering a 153.6 per cent return, versus a sector average of 128.1 per cent, according to Lipper.
Rayner Spencer Mills says the fund has benefitted from the strong stock picking skills of Ormiston, especially among some of the smaller capitalised names in the investment universe.
"The fund has established a strong record in its universe. The focus on under researched names means the fund is able to find companies with significant upside, as at the time of the investment they are not well known by the market," says Rayner Spencer Mills. "The strong stock picking skills of the manager, combined with the ability to exploit under researched investment opportunities with significant target price upside, make the fund a useful satellite addition to investor portfolios."

Business OverviewWhy not organize and host your own semiannual home improvement trade shows. Now is the time to capitalize on the popularity of home improvement trade shows. Construction and renovation companies do not hesitate in paying as much as $200 per day for a 10-foot x 10-foot display booth, and the attending public will gladly pay $10 to get inside to see all the latest home improvement products and services. Marketing tip: Find a major sponsor to co-host and promote the event, such as a radio station, TV station, local building center, newspaper, or construction association. Securing this type of sponsorship can help reduce your up-front capital outlay as well. You can utilize the resources that these sponsors already have in place. Profit potential range is $10,000+ per home improvement trade show that the business organizes.

Public Enemy – Rise Lyrics
[Flavor Flav]
Yeah that's right Chuck man, that's what you gotta do
You got to tell 'em JUST LIKE THAT, you know what I'm sayin?
Cause yo, man let me tell you a little somethin man
All these brothers around here fiendin for that crack-a-lack-a-lack
You dig what I'm sayin? Yo man, all they wanna do is get what you got
But when you ain't got nuttin, then they wanna cut you off
So what you gotta do, you gotta play 'em long distance
You know what I'm sayin? I mean long distance
They think we takin shorts, show 'em this is Cold Medina man
C'mon, kick it!
[Chuck D]
Back one more time, here to put the message in a rough rhyme
It's important that you knowin the time
Cause I'm seein the program, know what I know and
until we get together we will never be up for sure
So I wreck like I'm posessed by Malcolm X
See the feds want us dead, we too complex
I always speak the truth, comin from me to you
We movin as a unit so you KNOW we refuse to lose
I got my eyes on the lies from Washington
I'm a survivor, I know how the West was won
See a show and tell, the way the CoIntel
undermind the REAL hip-hop so the cops can trail
But know bad boys move in silence
Save us all from the pain of a life of violence
They tappin my phone, full grown and knowin
And still prone to refute the lies, won't stop until we rise
[Chorus: Chuck D + various samples]
Rise up! "C'mon, ah-c'mon"
Rise… rise up! "One more time"
We rise… rise up! "C'mon, ah-c'mon"
Rise… rise up! "To the beat y'all"
[Chuck D]
I'm a hard truth soldier to the bone for change
Demonstrate and seperate the fact from strange
Blame companies killin our children
When the villain's on the record never think for a second that's the way we live
Wanna squeeze on the fleas at MTV
We quiz knots for the cops at BET
Seize the time, always rhymin combinin the antidote
for dope Interscope and fake gangster quotes
Cause I can recollect times when records set
Collect a dead brother you mind if you silence it yet
Rest the program, defeat the beastie
Cause on the street they do as we influenced by what we see
And yes it "Weighs a Ton" I say it once again
That's why the Enemy is down with Paris and KAM
It's all fam, we collide we live
Better decide on which side you ride, won't stop until we rise
[Flavor Flav]
Y'all don't know, y'all don't know uhh [x4]
[Chuck D]
I know the power of fame, ain't never playin no games
Never croonin is provin, that we ready for change
Never simpin but they pimpin my people, for the dollars
So I holla back it keep us from EVIL 'til them devils are collared
And like I said it's on, I say it once again
Better know the plan to keep us ignorant
Brother to brother, ain't no other can smother
Or erase my case, we marry words with BASS
Just another wicked rhyme that I'm rappin on
S1's got my back if the clappin come
Pass on the work, makin sure the words are known
Keep 'em nervous, make 'em understand we servin foes
Keep it goin strong, nevertheless, know the enemy
And never back down, you can take it to press
'Less the mic like the art dart told you before
We for the prize emphasis the fight, now c'mon and rise

Andrew Cuomo
New Yorkers Love Dynasties
Who will fill Hillary Clinton's senate seat? I'm not sure, but whoever it is you'll know their dad.
According to the latest Marist Poll, Caroline Kennedy and New York State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo are tied at 25% among registered New York voters. An equally high number, 26%, are unsure of who the next New York senator should be. Gov. David Paterson will appoint a person to the seat after it's vacated in January.
So we've got the niece of onetime New York Senator Bobby Kennedy in a deadheat with the son of onetime New York City Mayor Mario Cuomo. Which basically means Fran Drescher only has a shot at this if she can prove herself to be the lovechild of Chuck Schumer and Fiorello LaGuardia's ghost.

Gov. Scott Walker spent $16 million on television advertising after Democrats and their allies began circulating recall petitions against him last fall.
Walker's campaign finance reports show Walker spent $33.4 million between Nov. 15 and June 30. More than $15.9 million of that went toward TV ads. The governor's Democratic challenger, Tom Barrett, spent $6.6 million, including $4.2 million on TV, between March 30 and the end of June.
Democrats upset with Walker's plan to strip almost all public workers of nearly all their union rights forced the governor and five other GOP officeholders into recall elections. Walker easily defeated Barrett in the June 5 election.

Seminoles And Sooners Highlight A Great Weekend Of College Football
Week two of the college football season is one I won't soon forget. Auburn had a miraculous victory for the second week in a row then Georgia and South Carolina had an epic battle between the hedges. Ohio State barely escaped a tricky Toledo team and Denard Robinson showed, for the second year in a row, that he absolutely owns the Golden Domers. That was just the big surprises though. In addition, the Tarheels squeaked by the Scarlet Knights, the Demon Deacons toppled the Wolfpack, the Hokies ruined ECU's upset bid, and the Stanford "Andrew Luck's", I mean Cardinal….well they did what they were supposed to against Duke. So while I'm still recovering from the madness of last Saturday, week three is almost here and it's time to look at the games that, on paper, are sure to entertain.
#3 LSU at #25 Mississippi State: September 15, 8:00 p.m.
In week one, the Bayou Bengals impressed with a strong showing on defense, defeating an electric Oregon team 40-27. The LSU defense forced four turnovers and dominated the line of scrimmage holding Chip Kelly's offense to 335 yards, almost a full 200 yards less than the Ducks averaged last season. The Ducks offense, which averaged 310 yards rushing just a season ago, was held to just 95 yards on the ground by the LSU defense.
Now, the Tigers must face another potent offense in the 25th ranked Mississippi State Bulldogs. Averaging 321 yards rushing thus far, and just slightly under 600 yards of total offense per game, the Mississippi State offense will look to do what Oregon couldn't in the season opener. Led by their dynamic duo of seniors, quarterback Chris Relf and running back Vick Ballard, the Bulldog offense will look to light up the Davis Wade Stadium scoreboard tonight. With quarterback Jordan Jefferson and wide receiver Russell Shepard still suspended, the LSU defense will need to keep Relf and the Bulldogs in check to win what should be another South Eastern Conference thriller.
#21 Auburn at Clemson: September 17, 12:00 p.m.
For two weeks straight now Gene Chizik and the Auburn Tigers have managed to slip out of Jordan-Hare Stadium with last second victories. Despite being outgained by a total of 234 yards in the two contests all that matters is the zero in the loss column. Saturday Auburn finds themselves with their first road test against the Clemson Tigers. Clemson, much like Auburn, has been less than impressive on defense surrendering 822 yards in two games. However, just like the defending champions the Clemson Tigers find themselves with the all important zero in the loss column. Unlike Auburn though, Clemson has yet to face a quality opponent with their two victories coming against the Troy Trojans and the Football Championship Subdivision Wofford Terriers.
Head Coach Dabo Swinney and the Clemson Tigers will be looking to avenge a 27-24 overtime defeat in which Swinney and the Tigers had the eventual champions on the ropes. Leading 17-3 at halftime, the Clemson defense collapsed in the third quarter surrendering 21 unanswered points, much to the surprise of the Auburn faithful still in attendance. Although Clemson was able to force overtime with a fourth quarter touchdown (the only score of the period), Clemson's redshirt freshman kicker, Chandler Catanzaro missed a field goal try to force a second overtime.
The loss had a lasting impact on both teams as Clemson went on to lose the next two games and seven total throughout the season while Auburn was able to use the momentum from a comeback victory to lead themselves to a BCS championship. In a game that features two high scoring offenses with suspect defenses, anything less than a shootout would be surprising.
#17 Ohio State at Miami: September 17, 7:30 p.m.
In a game that's being labeled the Ineligible Bowl, two programs with more problems off the field then on will face off under the lights of Sunlife Stadium. Less than a decade ago the Buckeyes and Hurricanes were battling each other for a BCS championship. Now, the two teams are in the news for all the wrong reasons.
Ohio State was the first of the two in the crosshairs of the NCAA when reports surfaced last December that five current players had traded autographed memorabilia for tattoos. Then the problem compounded when the Buckeyes Head Coach and Columbus Ohio legend, Jim Tressel, was found to be guilty of major NCAA violations. Tressel later resigned and Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor bolted for the National Football League where he was drafted by the Oakland Raiders.
In Miami, things were going smoothly in Al Golden's first season as the Hurricanes Head Coach. Golden had landed a top 40 recruiting class and he had a returning team full of stars on both sides of the ball. Then, Nevin Shapiro's tell-all prison interview was released. Implicating 72 former and current Hurricane players, the former booster shared elicit details of the impermissible benefits he provided Miami players. The interview has resulted in 8 Hurricanes being suspended and an ongoing investigation by the NCAA.
On the field the matchup looks one sided in Ohio State's favor who have a 34 point scoring average compared to Miami's 24 points scored in their opening week loss to Maryland. However, the Canes will welcome back quarterback Jacory Harris who, despite being prone to turnovers, has been an explosive QB in the past. The Hurricanes also have two capable running backs in Lamar Miller and Mike James. Look for the Hurricanes to run the ball and utilize the play action pass to test a Buckeye defense that has yet to face a quality opponent.
#1 Oklahoma at #5 Florida State: September 17, 8:00 p.m.
Not many teams have had more dominating starts to their 2011 seasons then these two, and while last year's matchup was a one sided affair, resulting in a 30 point Sooner victory, this year's should be anything but.
Led by Heisman hopeful quarterback Landry Jones, the top ranked Sooners head into Doak Campbell Stadium off a dominating 47-14 victory against Tulsa. The Sooners, who put up an astonishing 663 yards of offense against the Golden Hurricane, will matchup with a stingy Seminole defense that has given up just 275 yards in their first two contests. The Seminoles also find themselves fourth in the nation in scoring defense yielding just 10 points in two games. Florida State has had their share of fireworks on offense as well, averaging 509 yards and 48 points per game.
If there is a weakness for the Seminoles heading into the game Saturday it's their inability to create turnovers on defense. Florida State will have to correct this problem against a Sooner offense that has averaged 39 points in Landry Jones' starts. If the Seminole defense can force Oklahoma to turn the ball over Saturday night could be the beginning of a dream season for Florida State and their fans.

Microsoft hands out tools to sneak Skype onto new PCs
Microsoft is eliminating the download experience from Skype for consumers by giving OEMs the tools to slip the VoIP client into PCs. The company has released a Skype OEM Preinstallation Kit (OPK) for Windows 7, which you can find here. The OPK is designed to give PC makers the tools they need to "silently install" Skype for …
I'm so glad ms bought Skype
Because as a long term user I naturally started looking for an alternative. I tried Google hangouts, and guess what? Even today, for > 2 people in a video conf you have to pay with Skype but with G+ ... well, as usual I don't even need to complete the sentence. G+ hangouts just got an Android update so you can *start* video conf calls from your handset. Its at the level of quality where, even if ms weren't involved with Skype, I'd switch anyway if had to compare both feature sets.
Re: I'm so glad ms bought Skype
Your post is a bit garbled, so I'm afraid I didn't understand it fully.
You like the google alternative then? What's it like?
Re: I'm so glad ms bought Skype
So am I.
I can't wait for MickeySoft to start embedding bits of Skype in all the Windoze DLLs so that you can't uninstall it.
Sound familiar?
Silently install.......
Not on anything i buy you fucking dont....
ESPECIALLY skype...
Re: Silently install.......
Er, it's for OEMs. Or do you want Dell to employ hoards of Chinese children to click 'next'?
Re: Silently install.......
The only thing i want "preinstalled" is the OS and the latest drivers.
Thats all...
Re: Silently install.......
I'm well aware its a preinstall kit for OEM's, but as someone with fingers i am quite capable of clicking "Next, Next, Next" etc.
I am also quite capable of clicking a button that says "Cancel" when asked if i want to install stuff.
The point is im not been given the option!
Re: Silently install.......
Whatever you do don't get a Sony laptop then.
Re: Silently install.......
> The only thing i want "preinstalled" is the OS and the latest drivers.
> Thats all...
That'll be Linux then :-)
Re: Silently install.......
Why do all the bloody linux fanbois have a penchant for posting anonymously.
FFS, if your'e so proud of it then why hide....
Re: ...don't get a Sony laptop then.
You mean: "Don't get ANYTHING SONY", don't you?
I am still smarting from that rootkit they inflicted on unsuspecting CD buyers.
1:10 actual users?
Here, I still have more than 4 Skype accounts (my wife also has a couple), still using none of them. It was just easier to create a new one than remember the old details. Abandoned before Microsoft gave me an excuse ;)
Looks like 1:10 real to abandoned accounts is about right, given you need to log in to receive calls and plenty of those 40mil are Skype phones. The moment we got Google Talk working for video calls Skype was superfluous, even the landline phones & mobile can natively run SIP.
Agricultural land "has potential", but the rewards only happen if the farmer plants seed and tends the crop. If the farmer does nothing except drink beer or throw chairs around the land produces nothing.
Same deal here: Skype *had* potential but MS did nothing to realise that potential.
No to silent installs !
I totally refuse and ban any product that has the cheek to try to slip into my system without my express approval.
And if you bundle it with something else I think I need and I can't take it out, I will do without that thing it was bundled with.
I hate piggybacks and underhanded deals, wherever and whatever they are. Do your business openly and honestly, or get out of my sight.
Re: No to silent installs !
Do you also hate people who don't bother having a clue what they're talking about? The headline of the article like most Reg articles was intended to provoke you but was obviously misleading.
What has been released is a tool that makes it possible for OEMs (companies like Dell, HP etc...) to install software on machines without needing a human to click next next next.... before it ships to the customer. So, if for example, you click "Install Skype on my new PC" on the Dell ordering page, it will be preinstalled when the machine arrives at your door.
Hmm.... so, tell me... which part of this was either underhanded, closed or dishonest?
You've got a gift my friend :)
Re: No to silent installs !
Your express approval? What crap! This is nothing but a tool for OEMs to install the software with the rest of the crud already preloaded. Skype will be preinstalled along with trial office 2010, trial Norton AV and trial Macfees.
It's easier to wipe and reinstall OEM machines these days than uninstall the unwanted crap shoehorned in.
Re: "This is nothing but a tool for OEMs"
Sure, and when I have to reimage my disk after Windows breaks down and I use the recovery discs included with the PC purchase, that "silent install" will have absolutely no impact on my new install, right ? Riiiight.
I have the feeling that some of you haven't thought this thing through. That silent install is going to follow the life of that PC and the only way out of it is using an alternative OS.
So I do believe that I understood the article perfectly well, and I am justified in refusing the consequences.
Re: "This is nothing but a tool for OEMs"
Only way out of it? Not really.
Just get hold of a physical disc of the appropriate type, insert, reboot and format with prejudice everything on the system. The OEM key is locked to the BIOS, not the install media as long as the version is the same - ultimate, pro, etc.
This way you can even get rid of the daft multiple partitions some OEMs still seem to think that we want or need (yes, it can be helpful to partition data but in reality all the data tends to get written to C: which gets full and nothing on the second drive).
So when...
...can we expect an OEM preinstall kit for Firefox or Opera? Oh, wait...
Re: So when...
HP did it with Netscape.
Re: So when...
More like...
"When can we expect an Original Equipment Owner" pre-uninstall kit for all the crap they shovel on these machines?
When will manufacturers learn that THEY DO NOT OWN THE COMPUTER THEY SELL US?!
Re: So when...
You haven't read the Microsoft License Agreement, have you?
Re: So when...
Manufacturers will never learn this BECAUSE IT ISN'T TRUE.
Who do you think owns your PC before you do? Do you think it's sitting in some sort of legal limbo just waiting for you to get your grubby mitts on it? Up until the moment that the contract is fulfilled and you have your PC in your hands, it belongs to the manufacturer, they can do whatever the heck they like to it including install whatever crapware they like.
You can refuse to purchase from people who do this, you can argue that the item isn't fit for purpose and try to return it, if what they've installed is a root kit or the like you might even be able to sue them, but you'll never get them to learn they don't own your PC before you do because THEY DO.
Re: So when...
"Original Equipment Owner pre-uninstall kit"...
that'll be PC Decrapifier then...
Re: ...Original Equipment Owner" pre-uninstall...
I believe that is a Linux Live CD.
Something about the truth setting people free...
"We aim to make it as easy to access as possible"
Legal Intercept.
Name the files, paths, registry entries, and services
Problem solved
When is someone going to sue them for calling it a VOIP client
as far as I know it doesn't accept VOIP calls, just Skype ones.
Re: When is someone going to sue them for calling it a VOIP client
Skype is definitely VOIP. It's just not SIP.
You appear to have a nomenclature issue.
install skype and surrender your bandwidth
i do not allow skype on any pc in my house as i do not wish skype to use my bandwidth or computing power for their profit
if you have skype installed, sufficient bandwidth and a average or better pc it will use you as a super node to route other people calls so they do not need to invest so much in their own infrastructure
and it has complex code to avoid blocking by firewalls, will use high ports, then port 80 (http) then port 443 (https) to establish connections and bypass firewall filtering / blocking
you have been warned, remember their is no such thing as a free lunch
Re: install skype and surrender your bandwidth
and it has complex code to avoid blocking by firewalls, will use high ports, then port 80 (http) then port 443 (https) to establish connections and bypass firewall filtering / blocking
...all of that is extremely useful when you're using some crappy hotel/conference network that tries to block everything but web access.
Re: install skype and surrender your bandwidth
I thought you had to leave it running (and not just installed) before it would start working as a supernode? And on Ubuntu at least it is pretty easy to make sure it ain't running...
Which brings me to the next point, what other option does one have, apart from skype, that allows voice and video conf across win, mac, linux, iOS, android and global POTN (not just US/ EU and voice only obviously)...
Re: install skype and surrender your bandwidth
As useful as paying £5-£6 for a small bar of chocolate from the mini-bar fridge in the same hotels, you mean?
MS bought Skype because they are natural partners... so now you can get crappy, unreliable, non-standards-compliant cruddy Skype software from a criminally-convicted, near-monopolist supplier of crappy, unreliable, non-standards-compliant cruddy operating systems.
'Nuff said.
I hate Skype because it's the only IM client that Miranda can't really connect to properly. The best you can do is have it hidden in the background and use the interop plugin, which is a bit shonky (cause skype is so naff).
I wish MS would somehow merge it with MSN so that the IM part just goes through that with the voice and cam still being Skype's protocols.
msiexec /quiet /i SkypeSetup.msi INSTALLDIR="c:\program files\Skype" ALLUSERS=1
We've been installing Skype silently for years. Why is this news worthy??
Skype, how are the mighty fallen.
Once a major product. Now just another piece of crapware.

Problem installing PCTools firewall

Posted October 10, 2011 at 10:46PM
I was having a few problems with PC Tools free firewall installed in late 2009. I uninstalled it, having downloaded the latest version. I tried on several occasions to install it but it seemed to "hang" at the initialisation stage, with the Initialising splash staying on the screen for what seemed forever. Tried uninstalling with Revo but problem of installing persists. Now using windows (7) own firewall but liked PCTools so would like to solve it. Or if anyone can suggest a better free firewall for W7.

I have used the built in Microsoft firewall for years without any problems. Have you had a particular poor experience with the firewall or are your needs such that you need something you are more confident with?

gengiscant. When I had XP in early '09 and before, I used Comodo; it was a bit intrusive. I switched to W7 in late '90 and asked on these forums for advice re firewalls and at that time Zone Alarm (another popular firewall) seemed to conflict with AVG etc.Many thought that the w7 one could be improved upon and as I am not an expert, I decided upon a combination of Avira anti virus and PCTools firewall from replies here. Some said that the built in firewall only dealt with one way traffic. Anyway the combination worked well until recently, and I wanted to keep "the devil I know" in PCTools. In the meantime I am using the windows one.

The XP firewall was one way. Vista and W7 Firewall is two way.

Try the free version of Win 7 firewall control. It give you easier control over the firewall. Can't help with PCTools though.

Thanks for replies. I will probably stay with the W7 one for now.
