Welcome to this week's edition of TIME LightBox Follow Friday, a series where we feature the work of photographers using Instagram in new and engaging ways. Each week we will introduce you to the person behind the feed through his or her pictures and an interview with the photographer.
For this edition of #LightBoxFF, TIME spoke with photographer Stephen Wilkes (@stephenwilkes), who has maintained a unique personal style and seamless aesthetic in his commercial work, his fine art photography and his social documentary projects. He says Instagram allows him the opportunity to "share a visual philosophy" across a constantly expanding global network.
LightBox: How are you using Instagram now, and how has it become a part of your professional practice? Are you taking photos with your phone, are you uploading images you've taken with your camera, or both?
SW: Instagram has become the place where I can share the things I see on a daily basis, with an incredibly diverse global audience. The iPhone is the camera I always have with me, so I'm never experiencing the dreaded "if I only had my camera" scenario. All the images on my feed are shot with my iPhone only.
LightBox: What is the purpose of your feed? What does Instagram provide for you, professionally and creatively, that other platforms don't.
SW: The purpose of my feed is to share with my followers exactly what has caught my eye at any given moment. I'm also attempting to share a visual philosophy that we all can have the same tools, but what separates us is the way we look at the world. By showing iPhone images only, I'm removing the higher-end technical aspects of picture taking. My work as as fine artist and commercial photographer involves a deep level of complexity. The beauty of shooting with my phone is that I'm able to let go of all those technical aspects of photography; it becomes a spontaneous sketchbook for me. The majority of Instagramers have the same or a similar phone to photograph with, allowing everyone to share their unique vision of the world. In a sense it has become a modern form of cave painting. The exponential growth of this platform is redefining the still photograph as a language.
A view of the George Washington Bridge from the West Side highway in New York was the first image Wilkes uploaded to Instagram. May 12, 2012
LightBox: Do you use any of Instagram's filters or toning features? Why or why not?
SW: Occasionally I'll use a filter and/or toning features of the Instagram app. I avoid using any additional programs to edit my images as the beauty of this platform is its simplicity.
LightBox: Why did you start using Instagram, and how has your use of it or understanding of it changed since your first post? You watermark all of your Instagram images, can you talk about your decision to do that and why you feel it's important to include on your feed?
SW: I started using Instagram initially because photographing with a phone began to liberate me, in a way. I loved the immediacy of sharing a more personal view of the way I see. I decided to begin watermarking all my images early on for two reasons. The first was proper attribution: without any watermark my images could be shared and never properly credited. The second reason was that Instagram changed their original Terms of Service agreement -- which they eventually reversed -- but that moment was clearly a wake-up call to many professionals who are familiar with copyright law and are used to registering their work and defending their copyright.
LightBox: When did you hit your stride with Instagram? Was there a moment, project, or image where you crossed a threshold, and your perspective on the platform changed?
SW: I believe the most dramatic moment came when I was asked by TIME to cover Hurricane Sandy on my iPhone. I was one of five photojournalists that Kira Pollack, the director of photography, contacted. The idea that a platform such as Instagram could be used to share a major story in real time was a revelation. I believe it was the start of something special, and showed how powerful this platform can be.
LightBox: Which post inspired the most audience feedback and engagement through likes and comments? Why do you think that photo got people's attention, and do you agree with it?
SW: I recently posted an aerial of the Statue of Liberty during an extraordinary sunset. It not only generated likes, but conversation and passion about freedom, the world and being American. One of the incredible aspects about sharing your mages with the global community is the way all of these voices can be heard through these comments. As an artist, that direct feedback from a global audience is quite humbling.
Wilkes' most popular photo on Instagram, shot on assignment for TIME.
LightBox: Do you envision Instagram ever losing it's appeal, and if so, how would you replace it?
SW: I believe Instagram will continue to grow in its popularity, until there is a new and different technology that we all can't live without.

The Campbell women's soccer team is unbeaten and has yet to allow a goal in the first two home matches of 2011. The Camels will look to extend that streak tonight when the team hosts the Towson Tigers at Eakes Athletic Complex for a 7 p.m. match.
CU (4-2) is coming off a 2-0 victory over South Carolina State last Friday, and tonight's match will be the last home game before the Camels enter Big South play. Ashley Clark scored her fourth goal of the season in the SCSU matchup and leads CU with 10 points.
Towson (4-2) has two common opponents with the Camels thus far. The Tigers defeated Delaware State in a 2-1 overtime decision, while CU opened the season with a 5-0 victory over the DSU Hornets. Campbell defeated UMBC 3-0 on August 21st, while Towson earned a 3-1 victory at UMBC last Friday. The Tigers have also dropped a 2-1 decision against Big South member High Point in 2011.
The Camels and Tigers met in each of the first two years after the CU women's soccer program was established. Campbell won both of the matchups against the team then known as Towson State in 1992 and '93.
After tonight's match, the CU Marketing & Promotions department will be sponsoring a movie night. "Kicking and Screaming," a 2005 comedy involving youth soccer, will be shown on the field following the conclusion of the game.
Chris Hemeyer, the voice of the Fighting Camels, caught up with head coach Todd Clark and goalkeeper Ryaan Torrero to talk about the home crowd support that the team has experienced so far. You can see those interviews on the CU athletics video page, located here. (http://www.gocamels.com/video/playlists)

Then & Now: Diving in the Mariana Trench
Top photograph by Thomas J. Abercrombie. Bottom photograph by Mark Thiessan
The first explorers to descend to the deepest part of the oceans were U.S. Navy Lt. Don Walsh and Swiss oceanographer and engineer Jacques Piccard. They made their journey on January 23, 1960, in the Swiss-designed, Italian-built, U.S. Navy bathyscaphe Trieste. After a descent that took almost five hours, they reached a depth of 35,800 feet (10,912 meters) in the Mariana Trench's Challenger Deep. The bathyscaphe carried no scientific equipment, and no experiments were conducted. Walsh and Piccard stayed on the bottom for 20 minutes before dumping tons of iron pellets to begin an ascent that lasted 3 hours and 15 minutes. (Related: "Man's Deepest Dive" )
James Cameron's DEEPSEA CHALLENGER submersible deploys technologies unimagined in the 1960s. The craft is much lighter, using a special kind of foam construction to give it both buoyancy and protection from the extreme environment nearly 7 miles (11 kilometers) beneath the surface. Whereas the Trieste took nearly five hours to descend and more than three hours to ascend, the DEEPSEA CHALLENGER reached the bottom in about two and a half hours and returned to the surface in 70 minutes. The 21st-century craft can explore the ocean floor for six hours or more, moving around to make photographic and 3-D video images and to collect samples with a mechanical arm.

RHOA Star Apollo Nida To Pay $2 Million For Fraud Scheme
"Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Apollo Nida will have to shell out nearly $2 million for his involvement in a check fraud scheme.
According to court documents obtained by TheWrap.com, Apollo - who's married to "Real Housewives" star Phaedra Parks - was slapped with a nearly $2 million restitution bill. The money is "due and payable immediately."
Among the victims he owes money to is JP Morgan Chase, which will receive $828,000. He also has to pay thousands of dollars to the IRS and Delta Airlines, as well as the states of California, Connecticut and Texas.
Last week, Apollo was sentenced to eight years behind bars. He's accused of opening fake bank accounts under stolen identities and later funneling stolen checks into those accounts.

Next stop, beer in Summit County
June 6, 2013
Four pairs of eyes gaze at an overturned pint glass. It sits atop four quarters arranged in a circle on a cloth napkin. In the center, under the glass, is a lone dime. One man claims he can retrieve the dime without touching the glass or the quarters and dares the others to figure it out.
That man is Joel Godfrey, founder of the Summit County Brewery Tour. Godfrey's tour service picks up customers from their front doors and chauffeurs them to each of Summit County's four microbreweries — Breckenridge Brewery, Backcountry Brewery, Dillon Dam Brewery and Pug Ryan's Steakhouse & Brewery.
The tour is "a wonderful opportunity to have evening entertainment for folks who want to go out and have some fun and do some drinking … and not have to worry about any blinking red lights in the rearview mirror," Godfrey said.
Bar tricks
The trip includes a pint of beer at each brewery, dinner and the promise of entertainment in the form of bar tricks, trivia and amusing toasts from Godfrey. In fact, the host carries along an actual "bag of tricks" filled with cards, glasses, straws, domino tiles and other items to entertain guests.
"Our motto at Summit County Brewery Tour is 'never buy a beer again!' Get all your friends to buy them for you with all the great bar tricks we're going to show you," said Godfrey, who picked up his knowledge of pub prestidigitation from his years touring the world for TWA airlines. From America and Europe to the Caribbean, Godfrey chatted up regulars and bartenders at local watering holes to learn their games and traditions.
"It's my sworn duty to educate America with all these great nuggets of knowledge," Godfrey said.
Godfrey isn't secretive about his tricks. Instead, he takes the time to show his guests how they're done. He also invites customers to share their own tricks and loves a good challenge himself.
It's about the beer
Unlike other brewery tours, Godfrey doesn't take his customers around to the brewing equipment. Instead, it's more about drinking beer and having fun.
"Don't think this is a tour where you're putting on lab coats and inspecting the vats," Godfrey said. "It's not supposed to be a scientific investigation into the process of fermentation."
Essentially, Godfrey drives so guests don't have to, and he has plenty of tricks up his sleeve to make sure partygoers have a good time. There's even entertainment on the ride, as the van is fully equipped with karaoke screen and microphone.
"It's basically go out, enjoy some great beers, have some fun and share some laughs," he said.

A bit of information on Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) :
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) shares the vision of our founder and creator, Alexandra "Alex" Scott—a cure for all children with cancer.
When Alex, who was diagnosed with childhood cancer just before her first birthday, was four, she told her parents she wanted to set up a front-yard lemonade stand. Her plan: to give the money to doctors to help them find a cure. Her first "Alex's Lemonade Stand", held with the help of her older brother Patrick, raised an astonishing $2,000 in one day. While bravely fighting her own cancer, Alex continued to set up lemonade stands every year. As news spread of the remarkable girl so dedicated to helping other sick children, people everywhere were inspired to start their own lemonade stands—donating the proceeds to her cause.
In 2004 when Alex passed away at the age of eight—her stand and inspiration had raised over $1 million towards finding a cure for the disease that took her life. Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation was started by her parents in 2005 to continue the work that Alex began. Our mission is simple: to raise money for and awareness of childhood cancer causes—especially research into new treatments and cures—and to encourage and empower others, especially children, to get involved and make a difference for children with cancer.
Since Alex set up her first lemonade stand in 2000—truly exemplifying the saying "When life hands you lemons, make lemonade"—we have raised more than $45 million. That money has helped to:
• Fund more than 200 cutting-edge research projects
• Create a travel program to help support families of children receiving treatment
• Develop resources to help people everywhere affected by childhood cancer
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation is the living embodiment of Alex's spirit of determination and hope. Like Alex, we believe that every person can make a difference. Together, we can bring about a cure. Please join us in "making lemonade" today!
You can also donate directly to ALSF by visiting our fundraising page here: http://www.alexslemonade.org/mypage/82514
or by texting "LEMONADE E82514" to 85944 to make a $10 donation directly

LAKEWOOD - One of the city's biggest economic challenges is its 6 percent problem - only 6 percent of its land is zoned for commercial purposes, a community development official said last week.
That means a small amount of land generates the vital sales tax a community needs to survive and thrive.
Lakewood's commercial figure is low because the city was designed as a bedroom community. The majority of its land, 53 percent, is residential. Another 24 percent is used for streets.
"It's a challenge when you only have a small amount of commercial space to develop," said Sonia Southwell, the city's director of community development.
Compared with neighboring cities of similar size, Lakewood's commercial percentage is the smallest: Norwalk has 9 percent, Bellflower 13 percent and Cerritos 15 percent.
Nevertheless, Lakewood has a popular, regional mall, Lakewood Center, and makes the best possible use of the parcels available for development, Southwell said.
Southwell discussed those economic challenges at the Lakewood Economic Forecast Luncheon this week, held at The Centre at Sycamore Plaza.
Southwell announced three upcoming projects and a couple of other vacant sites.
Upcoming projects:
A 6,505-square-foot Buffalo Wild Wings Grill and Sports Bar scheduled to open in the Lakewood Center mall by late summer or early fall. It will be located in the space occupied by 24 Fitness on Candelwood Street. The gym will move into a new facility on the other side of the mall on Del Amo Avenue, the old North Pacific Theatres, next to Sports Authority.
A 28,230-square-foot Marshalls retail store is expected to open in the summer in the refurbished Carwood West Shopping Center at Carson Street and Woodruff Avenue.
On a smaller scale, a 2,000-square-foot Wienerschnitzel restaurant is scheduled for a grand opening later this month in Carwood West. This fast-food stop, which will replace an older one in Carwood West, is the fourth-most popular Wienerschnitzel in the national chain.
The city is also trying to fill a couple of vacant commercial properties, Southwell said.
The spaces include a 7.3-acre parcel adjacent to Walmart, 2790 Carson St., the NAZ Plaza at the southeast corner of Palo Verde and South streets and a 32,591-square-foot space at Carwood West.

GSA Donates Computers to Howard University for African Burial Ground Project
May 18, 1998
Contact: April Kaufman
Hap Connors
WASHINGTON -- At a brief ceremony in his office this morning, Howard University President Pat Swygert accepted eleven computers from the U.S. General Services Administration on behalf the university's history department for use on the African Burial Ground Project.
The computers will be used to store important information about the remains from the African Burial Ground in New York City. The Howard University history department is studying the social and cultural contributions of New York's first African Americans.
The African Burial Ground Project is a significant research, education and interpretation project that began after an eighteenth-century cemetery was unearthed by GSA during construction of a federal office building in lower Manhattan. One part of the African Burial Ground Project involves studies by Howard University, including bioanthropological studies of human remains, artifact studies and a historical report.
GSA Deputy Administrator Thurman M. Davis, Sr., presented the computers, valued at approximately $16,000, as part of on-going programs that help Historically Black Colleges and Universities obtain excess federal property and the Clinton Administration's "Computers for Learning" initiative.
"It is fitting that Howard University should undertake the responsibility of researching, analyzing and documenting the life and times of these early African Americans," Davis said. "GSA is honored and proud to help with this computer donation."
Davis said that GSA has donated "thousands" of surplus computers to schools across the country and that some GSA employees act as volunteers and mentors to provide training and technical assistance.

Arcade Fire confirm they are behind mysterious 'Reflektor' project
Listen to Arcade Fire on iHeartRadio
It turns out Arcade Fire really are behind all the mysterious "Reflektor" graffiti that's been popping up around the world lately.
One of the latest examples of the cryptic ad campaign posted in New York City actually features the band's name, along with a note that seems to indicate something will happen on September 9th at 9:00 p.m.
REFLEKTOR! Arcade Fire have finally shown their hand. Reflektor, 9pm on 9/9. Corner of Grand & Lafayette St, NYC. pic.twitter.com/AXfctwPLyt— Arcade Fire tube (@ArcadeFiretube) August 26, 2013
However, it's still unknown exactly what the "Reflektor" project is. Many have assumed it's the title of the Canadian indie rockers' highly-anticipated new album, which is due out October 24th.
There is also speculation that "Reflektor" could be Arcade Fire's new single, for which they're reportedly just finished shooting a new video.

COUPEVILLE — Thirteen historic preservation projects received a total of $100,000 from the Forever Grant Program of Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve.
The money will be matched one-to-one or greater by the owners of the private, commercial and public properties.
Each site needs work ranging from new roofs, to foundations and structural restorations, to other improvements. All of the properties are structures of national significance on the National Register of Historic Places.
Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve is a 24-square-mile mosaic on Whidbey Island of working farms, iconic barns, trails, hedgerows and historic structures, encompassing more than 450 historic buildings identified on the National Register of Historic places.
The historical reserve was established in 1978 and is the only unit of the National Park Service managed by a trust board representing local, state and federal partners.
The Ebey's Forever Fund was started in 2009 to maintain and preserve the rural heritage of the reserve through grants, workshops and educational programs.
Ebey's Forever Grant Program was launched in 2011 as part of the Ebey's Forever Fund and provides annual matching grants to stabilize and sustain the reserve's heritage buildings that are listed on the national registry.
The program requires that funds be matched by property owners.
The following properties have been awarded grants through the 2013 Ebey's Forever Grant Program: Comstock Barn, 1934; Fort Casey Plotting Room, 1915; Sherman Farm Bulk Shed, circa 1950; Captain Whidbey Inn, 1907; Hancock Wood Shed, 1891; Old San de Fuca Store, 1943; Holbrook Boat Shop, circa 1895; Perkins House, 1890; Crockett Farm Motor Shed, circa 1900; Old County Courthouse, 1855; Van Dam House, 1904; Strong Barn, circa 1928; and Highwarden House, 1887.

Southern California Tea Party groups blasted the Internal Revenue Service on Tuesday, accusing the agency of pursuing a political agenda and mismanaging requests for tax-exempt status.
While the IRS has acknowledged low-level officials in its Cincinnati office had subjected conservative groups to extraordinary scrutiny, documents show offices in El Monte, Laguna Niguel and Washington, D.C., made requests similar to those from the Cincinnati office, and the Department of Justice announced Tuesday it would conduct an investigation to determine whether any laws were broken.
Local Tea Party Group representatives said Tuesday that the IRS has stymied their efforts to gain tax-exempt status for years.
Karen L. Kenney, coordinator for the San Fernando Valley Patriots, said her organization applied in 2010.
"I heard nothing until February 2012, when I received a 12-page, 35-point, 80-subquestion packet of information that was the closest thing to a proctologist exam through my ear that I've ever seen," Kenney said.
Kenney said she and one other member filled out that paperwork and more over the following months, producing meeting notes, copies of handouts and details about every speaker and rally. Then, Kenney said, the government asked one question that crossed the line.
"The last item was, 'We need access to your membership roster,'" she said. "I said, 'No, this is a violation of our First Amendment right to freedom of speech and freedom of association. ... This was not tax-related. This was a witch hunt for a political agenda, and that's why I pulled out. "
According to the American Center for Law and Justice, which represents 27 groups it claims were targeted by the IRS, more than 300 conservative groups were subjected to increased scrutiny based on their political ideologies. Of the 27 groups ACLJ represents, two withdrew their applications out of frustration, 10 are still pending and 15 were granted tax-exempt status, according to ACLJ spokesman Gene Kapp.
"The IRS contends that this originated with 'low-level' employees out of the Cincinnati office," Kapp said in an email. "While letters were sent from that office, our clients received letters sent from other IRS offices around the country - including two in California and from the main office in Washington, DC. There is no question that the IRS scheme emanated from beyond the IRS office in Cincinnati. "
The IRS office in El Monte referred questions to the main IRS office.
In an opinion piece published in USA TODAY, acting IRS Commissioner Steven Miller said "mistakes were made" but they weren't politically motivated.
Instead, a sharp increase in the number of political groups applying for 501(c)(4) status - from 1,591 in 2010 to 3,398 in 2012 - resulted in unwise shortcuts being taken to determine which groups were eligible.
"The mistakes we made were due to the absence of a sufficient process for working the increase in cases and a lack of sensitivity to the implications of some of the decisions that were made," Miller wrote. "The new procedures we have implemented ensure the mistakes we made won't be repeated. We want to stress that our employees - all career civil servants - will continue to be guided by tax law and not by partisan issues. "
Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Burbank, said an investigation is needed to ensure the appropriate people are held responsible.
"The Internal Revenue Service must enforce the tax code in a neutral and nonpartisan way," Schiff said. "Any politicization of tax enforcement is abhorrent and should be viewed as a grave offense. These allegations must be investigated to the fullest extent and dealt with appropriately. "
But Schiff also pushed back against those tying the IRS behavior to President Barack Obama.
"I first raised the issue of selective enforcement by the IRS during the Bush Administration, when the agency audited All Saints Episcopal Church of Pasadena based on the content of a particular church service," Schiff said. "After a former pastor gave an anti-Iraq War sermon, All Saints became the target of an aggressive IRS investigation in which the church's tax-exempt status was threatened. At the time, I could find only one Republican colleague, Rep. Walter Jones, that would join me in calling for an investigation."
Indeed, Tea Party groups have been quick to suggest that the IRS scrutiny is not a mistake by overzealous IRS officials, but rather, is part of a conspiracy emanating from the White House.
"What Obama has done is clearly tyranny," said John Berry, communications director for the Redlands Tea Party Patriots. "This is why the Democrats got rid of Nixon. This is an arrogant abuse of power, what Obama has done. "
TeaPac, a conservative group based in Pasadena, decided it wasn't worth letting contributors list contributions as a tax deduction because something like this was expected, said president and cofounder Mike Alexander.
"No way I'm gonna give the IRS or the state of California a subpoena to come down here and find out everything I did or say was a violation of my tax exempt status," Alexander said, adding that he reports everything required by law. "This is typical leftist Marxist intimidation tactics. "
The call for investigation was echoed by Jim Brulte, head of the California Republican party, as well as Democratic and Republican members of Congress.
"I was pretty outraged, and I certainly hope someone in Washington is empaneling a grand jury because people have a right to privacy," Brulte said.

how many people are attending currently? is it definitely on next week? do you have showers?
I have trained there. Good bunch of guys, mostly white belts. The venue can be a bit difficult to find (it's down a back alley) and they don't have showers. That said the instruction/training was great and I'd definitely recommend to anyone in the area.
Is this Faixa Rua's club? I heard he was in the UK at the moment.
Perhaps Faixa is hiding from immigration?

Michael Kors has a formula for success when it comes to his runway designs, and we're noticing a pattern in his hair and makeup looks, too. Taking a look through this runway retrospective, you might notice a trend. Michael tends to veer toward basic beauty, especially a bright flush, bronzed skin, or a red lipstick. From season to season, he vacillates between tousled looks and sleek strands. We can't wait to see what will come down the Michael Kors runway this year, but until then, click through to reminisce on seasons past.

JOHNSON VALLEY - Three High Desert young men, at least one still in high school, were killed Saturday night in a violent head-on crash with an alleged drunken driver.
Tyler Shane Correll, 18, of Hesperia was driving a 2001 Saturn sedan south on Old Woman Springs Road near Olvine Road in Johnson Valley when an unidentified man driving north in a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado allegedly tried to drive around slower-moving traffic and veered into the Saturn's path, colliding with the smaller vehicle, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Correll and two other males ages 17 and 18, were killed, according to the San Bernardino County coroner's website. It was not immediately clear if anyone else was in the Saturn.
The driver of the Silverado, whose name was unavailable, was immediately arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, authorities said.
As the news of the triple fatality began to filter through social media and news websites, friends of the three victims took to the Internet to express their disbelief and grief.
"Dam, I first saw it this morning and I didn't wanna (sic) believe it," posted a man who identified himself as Jhovanni Ojeda on the Facebook page of Ruben Ramos, who has been identified by friends and family as one of the three killed Saturday night. "I guess it's true my boy Ruben is longer here with us. ... R.I.P gee much love, you're in a much better place now."
The name of the third victim was held, pending notification of next of kin.
Some friends of Correll - affectionately known as Doof - changed their Facebook profile pictures to ones of the 18-year-old Hesperian.
Many High Desert residents were outraged at what they felt was the senseless end of three young lives.
"I don't know why people have to drive that way," said Leticia Contreras of Hesperia. "They don't just do it out there either. When I go pick up my grandkids from school, if I'm not driving fast enough, people think it's just dandy to drive around, not even thinking about the kids who are already starting to walk home."
Contreras says she lives near one high school and at least two elementary schools and has seen many people driving recklessly.
"Sometimes I do see the police here and the crazy drivers do slow down, but as soon as they leave they go back to their unsafe driving," Contreras said.

Internationally acclaimed by ELLE Decoration, Condé Nast House & Garden, HOME, National Geographic Traveler, CNBC, Leonardo TV Italy and many others.
De Kelders PRIVATE villa is situated in the quaint, yet scenic village of De Kelders, Gansbaai, South Africa. 151km from Cape Town, 5km from Gansbaai and 35km from Hermanus.
This secluded PRIVATE retreat prides itself on timelessness and tranquility. It is a weary travelers delight and not recommended for the glitzy tourist who wants a holiday resort. Owner decorated to inspire, the villa is a true visual delight of South African and International art, furniture and objects.
The villa is an ideal and convenient base from which to explore the wonders and attractions of the Overberg region. Do not miss historic Elim, the charming village of Stanford, the beautiful beaches and fisherman's cottages of Arniston and the many exquisite award winning boutique wine estates of the area.
The house is situated on a 1000m double plot 200 m from the cliff paths. Its location provides guests with the privacy to view and not to be viewed by passers by. The enclosed double plot, private garden and heated pool allow visitors to relish in the warmth of the African sun and enjoy some well-earned breathing space.
The villa can be booked for exclusive use, in which case the whole house is at your disposal. Alternatively the rooms can be booked separately and the house will be shared with other amiable travelers also looking for a peaceful retreat.
All rooms lead to the spacious 180m-squared guest area with a full library of books, magazines, DVD's and CD's to entertain and provide escape. In winter the large combustion fireplace is the centre of the beautiful lounge, where hours can be spent talking or just sitting and enjoying the luxury of privacy. Many guests have mentioned the villa as a place where they can relax in a homely environment and enjoy personalized home comforts. Guests have the privacy and reign to enjoy the villa as if in their own home.
The connected dining area offers an ambience in which to enjoy freshly prepared local cuisine and aromatic wines. The simple Overberg dinners are made with fresh ingredients that are sourced from the garden, local farmers and the sea.
The 80m squared outside terrace, has a wonderful lounge area to relax in with your favorite book. Breakfast is served at the outside terrace table or at individual smaller tables. The simple breakfasts are a highlight for patrons, the kitchen staff prepare nearly all the offerings on the breakfast table.
Accommodation is by prior arrangement only. The villa is not numbered and unmarked as a guesthouse, assuring the guests complete privacy.
The De Kelders PRIVATE retreat, near Gansbaai, has a spirit of quiet kindness, thoughtful generosity and relaxed ease where there is space for both lively conversation and rejuvenating silence. Living in De Kelders is like living in an eternal Sunday; nothing is open, the streets are empty and everything is peaceful.
Designer Neil Stemmet of koncept design and architecture www.konceptdesign.co.za designed the home to complement the laid-back yet incredibly sophisticated style of this beach home in De Kelders.
Just because a house at the sea doesn't mean it needs to look like a beach house, yet the luxury of coastal solitude and stillness runs like a thread through Neil's home. He pays homage to authenticity, to the return to real quality, intuitive design, all while celebrating uniquely crafted items. In a noisy world of consumerism, of acceleration and information bombardment, his home stands as a beacon of Zen, where he continuously finds fresh inspiration, where he allows himself to be free of dictation of trends, where he can be real
Condé Nast HOUSE&GARDEN
Celebrated designer Neil Stemmet's uncompromising green philosophy makes you sit up and notice. The idea behind the construction of de kelders private villa was to celebrate creativity, both natural and human. So often amazing things in life is overlooked. It's about taking time out from modern life and looking at a tree trunk to remind you of the dual functions of beauty and sustainability.
Objects tell stories and enrich our interiors and our lives. At de kelders PRIVATE villa you will be inspired by the people, places and ideas that make this home a personal memory map of the owners. The house and indigenous gardens are custom designed by the owners and have received international acclaim for the sublime interior vignettes and eco-friendly building ethos: natural cross ventilation air flow, large windows that capture heat in winter, rain water is captured and used in the large vegetable beds, a single large hearth with a large combustion oven heat the lounge, combustion ovens in all bedrooms, solar heated water heats the water for showers, and where possible the vertebrae of the old house were recycled into the new home
The owner: My favorite time is from autumn to spring, the days are crisper and shorter, you can see the weather moving over walker bay, the sunsets are even more spectacular than in summer, there is a gentle quietness in the area, few people, champagne days filled with soft, glorious sunshine, schools of dolphins cut through the sea that display the colors of mother of pearl, the succulent-aloes cover themselves with vibrant flower cloaks, the whales arrive mid-June and our days are spent reading, walking the cliffs, exploring new bays and flora whilst at supper time enjoying feasts of simple produce of the Overberg...

comments from our visitor's book
Amsterdam | Piet
- Being an inspiration is timeless ... we have enjoyed our stay with you tremendously and will cherish the memory for the rest of our lives.
Sweden | Thorrun
- My dad and I had been travelling along the Garden Route for a week, and we were on our way back to Cape Town when we stayed at De Kelders PRIVATE villa. No competition- it was the best place we had stayed on our travels. A beautiful, stylish house, AMAZING food, and a wonderful host. Neil and his team made us feel very much at home- a feeling that was missing at a lot of the other places we stayed. The service was unparalleled, and the rooms were luxurious and comfortable. I sincerely hope I'll be back!
Edinburgh | Stephan and family -
The experience my family and I had at this beautiful villa is one that we will truly never forget. Neill and his team did such an amazing job at making us all feel so welcome and comfortable in his stunning home. The food and service was all wonderful! Every morning we were greeted with a breakfast that was of the highest standard along with a smile from all the staff. The porridge was a particular highlight! 4 course dinners by candlelight with the family was truly amazing and was the perfect way to end a beautiful day in Gansbaai. De Kelders PRIVATE Villa will be an unforgettable memory. Thank you so very much to all for making this holiday so special!
Derbyshire | Angela + Godfrey - Our stay at De Kelders PRIVATE villa was to experience the best of everything. The owner, Neil Stemmet, placed his home in our hands. We enjoyed the eclectic decor, the sumptuous accommodation and the breathtaking view of Walker Bay. Samkelo, of the laughing eyes, laid out a selection of her home made bread, and served us splendid breakfasts, she is a gem. We were fortunate to have a meal cooked for us by Neil which was startlingly unfussy but incredibly delicious and which we appreciated greatly. Unfortunately, we had golf to play and wine tasting to attend to otherwise we would not have left this haven of tranquility.
Copenhagen | Kristian
- This house is very inspiring and with and even more inspiring host. The beautiful colours, smell of the sea and fine cooking makes it the perfect spot for a peaceful recharging. Clean, polite and with interesting guests.
Cape Town | Edric
- De Kelders is a fantastic little escape for anyone wanting to get away and explore the lush beaches, wild life, and of course a perfect opportunity to relax with family and friends. However, staying at De Kelders PRIVATE Villa made it even more of a five star getaway. The villa is simply perfect. With everything and more to make your stay as comfortable as ever. The interior of the house is selected with impeccable taste and desire to create a feel of sophistication and yet making you feel right at home. I would advice anyone who is looking to escape city life to head right to De Kelders PRIVATE Villa. The staff was absolutely amazing which is definitely a must and an added bonus in my books!
Copenhagen | Anthony -
You are very special people, this is a very special house with special cats and many special things. We spend a very special 8 nights with you. The dinners were excellent as was your hospitality and all of us felt very much at home
Paris | Marius
- Once or twice in a lifetime all your senses are totally satisfied and we call it bliss! — This is it thank you a wonderful time — it certainly will not be the last
London | Toni
- What a wonderful house you call home! Thank you so much for your hospitality! The breakfasts and dinners were just delicious; we filled our tummies to the brim with your homemade goodies. We will definitely be back for more relaxing days in your place

Marie - from Bloomfield, NJ
This question is one we get often! When baking and cooking, most measurements are given as volume. We then try to supply approximate weight or package information so you know how much you need to buy. To explain better: One cup is 8 ounces for volume (1 cup water is 8 ounces of liquid – which is measured by volume), but not 8 ounces weight. 1 cup of confectioners' sugar, for example, weighs less than 1 cup rice or pasta, and none of these weighs 8 ounces (1/2 pound) Our recipe for buttercream icing, therefore, is correct when it calls for 4 cups confectioners' sugar (about 1 pound). FYI, European recipes are written mostly by weight, so if you're looking at a European cookbook or website, you'll find most ingredients listed by metric weight.

Fox Restaurant Concepts has expanded its presence in the thriving health-conscious restaurant market with the opening of Juby True, which stands for "Juice by True," a juice bar poised to become a multi-unit concept by the end of 2014.
FRC, which has 40 restaurants under 13 brands in six states, opened Juby True in October as an extension to the restaurant group's Scottsdale, Ariz. location of True Food Kitchen. The globally influenced restaurant debuted in Phoenix in 2008 and was developed in partnership with world-renowned leader in integrative medicine and best-selling author, Dr. Andrew Weil. It has since expanded into California, Colorado and Texas and has plans to open locations in Georgia, Virginia and Massachusetts. New units of Juby True will be both stand alone locations and extensions of True Food Kitchen locations.
The launch of the walk-up juice bar is in response to the increasing demand for more healthful food options, said Sam Fox, CEO and founder of Fox Restaurant Concepts, based in Phoenix.
"When we first opened True Food Kitchen, we recognized the need for restaurants that offer nutritious food that also tastes good," Fox said. "We instilled the same philosophy in Juby True, but this time in a portable, convenient cup."
National Restaurant Association studies confirm the increasing interest in health and nutrition among today's restaurant guests. In fact, 71 percent of adults said they are trying to eat healthier at restaurants than they did two years ago.
Juby True serves cold-pressed juices for $9, made in house and bottled for on-the-go convenience. The menu also features protein blends and smoothies for $8, water-based "hydrators" for $7, "juice boosts" for $4, coffees and teas ranging from $2-$6, and a variety of gluten-free, vegan and paleo-friendly snacks priced between $3 and $4. Additionally Juby True offers one- and two-day cleanse packages for $50 and $99, respectively.
Fruits and vegetables are sourced from local and regional organic farms in relation to "The Dirty Dozen" list. The foundation of Juby True was built with strong influences from True Food Kitchen's anti-inflammatory philosophy.

Are you the sort of person who loves lively, often fast-paced interactions with people from around town and all around the world? Does great music and drama hold a special place in your heart? Are you thrilled to find yourself in a busy, intelligently run office of committed professionals or in the thick of the exciting lobby action on Opening Night? You sound like you'd make a great volunteer for the Dallas Opera!
This is your chance to meet lots of folks who share your interest in the arts, while giving a little something back to the community. Do it for us. Do it for them. Above all, do it for yourself! Read on to find out more on how to get involved.
The Dallas Opera has a wide variety of volunteer opportunities for you to choose from, including:
Numerous studies indicate that exposing young people to the arts helps to increase their social and intellectual skills; but we take opera into the schools and community centers and provide mainstage productions here at the Winspear because, frankly, it's so much fun! The sense of anticipation and excitement among our young audiences and their eagerness to understand the art form create a unique opera experience you will never forget! Help us enable students from across North Texas to get the most out of their special "Day at the Opera."
Education volunteers are required to attend orientation and training.
Special Events
Special Events cover a wide range of social, networking, and adult education activities from elegant formal dinners to decidedly casual affairs—such as last year's live simulcast of Mozart's Don Giovanni. Volunteers are needed for check-in, crowd management, and to act as all-purpose concierges throughout these events. If you enjoy chatting with people, answering questions, and being of service to the arts, special events may be your preferred area of volunteering.
Organizations / Fundraising
There are many roles that need to be filled in order to create great opera. Fundraising is one of the most vital. At the Dallas Opera, there is a rich variety of in-house organizations and affiliates to choose from, designed to address the needs of our company, our artists and our patrons, or to serve as goodwill ambassadors to the community at large. Each offers its own benefits. These range from an opportunity to house a visiting singer to a chance to mix and mingle with arts-savvy young professionals. Either way, membership has its privileges.
Administrative / Box Office
Live opera. It's singing, it's live music, it's thrilling, but it's also keeping track of paper clips and tickets. Volunteers for Administrative/Box Office will have the opportunity to work in the business office during normal business hours, as well as on performance nights and weekends.
How to apply
Please email us at email@example.com with the following:
- Which of the above activities interest you (education, special events, fundraising, administrative)?
- Have you volunteered with us before?
- Have you purchased tickets/subscriptions or attended events with us before?
- Your name and a way to contact you
We will be in touch with you as opportunities arise, or (for Education volunteers) to let you know about plans for the next scheduled orientation. Thank you!

An August tradition, COOLinary New Orleans is the way many of the city's dining establishments give respite to an overheated public in the form of otherwise unheard of meal-deals: three-course lunches at $20 or less and three-course dinners at $35 or less at over 50 award winning restaurants.

Discussion in 'NFL Zone' started by casmith07, Oct 7, 2012.
He's their Owner/CEO.
I hope he gave it to Pagano.
Interjecting that even though the point is hilarious.
Let's not forget that Arthur Blank is on the sideline for nearly every Falcons game
He did, it was emotional for him and the players.
Owner/CEO in the locker room though...I don't know. But he was instrumental in selecting Andrew Luck so he's a football guy.
He is - usually in the first half.
Two owners giving game balls to the Head Coach in the locker room.
Never happens.
Proud of Irsay for that. I mean that.
So this makes it a-okay for Jerry to do it... Got it.
Of course, Irsay is known for being about half batguano insane, too. But never mind that.
Hurts, huh?
When you have a ridiculous stance, you have to make ridiculous reaches like this to support it.
Just do what I do. Point and laugh.
The fruit doesn't fall far from the tree.
Is this some sort of half-***** way of excusing Jerry for being an idiot?
How far do you have to reach? No one cares if Jerry Jones gives out game balls or stands on the sidelines...what people are tired of are the stupid decisions he has made in regards to the Cowboys' roster.
Sounds like a good thread for the NFL Zone.
And guess what? When you point, three fingers are pointing back at you.
Only in the buttocks region.
Not for me. I for one am damned proud that Irsay gave it to Pagano in front of his players. Damned classy if you ask me given what the man is facing. Little things like this will never upset my tummy.
Irsay also held his personnel guy accountable and removed him when he wasn't satisfied with the performance. Then he went and hired another young, up and coming personnel guy, who he worked with to hire a head coach. Seems weird, I know, but successful teams do it all the time.
For the record, I'd have no issue with Jerry coming down and handing out a game ball in a situation like that.
I do take issue with him trotting down to the sidelines to tell Garrett to pull Romo.

Movie Studio Employees Caught Pirating Adult Films and More
Jason Mick
December 26, 2012 5:23 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
From adult films to movies to games, Hollywood employees appear to love to pirate content
BitTorrent monitoring company
and content rights outlet
have raised
some pretty awkward questions for Hollywood's top studios.
In a new report, they show that static internet protocol addresses associated with Viacom Inc.'s (
) Paramount Studios, Time Warner Inc.'s (
) Warner Bros., Sony Corp.'s (
) Sony Pictures, News Corp.'s (
) Twentieth Century Fox, and The Walt Disney Comp. (
) have been actively downloading and sharing torrents.
Perhaps victims of the "
bring your own device
" trend, the members of the
Motion Picture Association of America
, are finding that their employees are file-sharers just like their counterparts in the general public.
Twentieth Century Fox reportedly shared the least content, while Warner Bros perhaps offered the most colorful list of stolen comment with their randy workforce downloading titles such as "A--holeFever - Ioana (The Summer is Magic)". Overall a wide array of movies, video games, and TV episodes were being illegally shared.
Some of Warner Bros. employees' downloads may give a new meaning to working "hard on the job". [Image Source: TorrentFreak]
The MPAA is known for its penchant for provocative statements and lawsuits. In ads it proclaimed:
You wouldn't steal a car
You wouldn't steal a handbag
You wouldn't steal a television
You wouldn't steal a movie
Downloading pirated films is stealing,
stealing is against the law,
Well, one has to wonder whether some Hollywood folks are off stealing cars, because they certainly appear to be pirating movies. Recall these are the same companies responsible for
million dollar verdicts against working families
mass-lawsuit extortion schemes
They're also the same ones pushing Congress to make laws to
make piracy an imprisonable offense
. They and their big music allies (many of which share common ownership, e.g. Sony) filled
nearly 10 percent of coffers
of Senators in the last election cycle.
And while similar studies have shown Congressional offices
to be active pirates themselves
, the money has done a lot of talking as Congress has proposed a
variety off efforts
to stiffen piracy punishments and has
condoned the lawsuits and legal threat campaigns
by big media corporations.
Viacom lost a suit against Google Inc.'s (
) YouTube video service, when server logs showed that Viacom employees had
themselves uploaded many of the infringing video clips
from Viacom properties such as MTV and Comedy Central. It was unclear whether the uploads were a direct attempt to frame Google or simple hypocrisy, but either way the "billion dollar" case
was quickly scuttled
in the aftermath.
Large film and music corporations have at times been accused of
"pirating" independent artists'
work, selling it without permission and then looking to stifle the artists' ability to collect with a convoluted royalty system. Music companies, including Sony have paid
tens of millions of dollars to settle such accusations
in Canada alone.
That said, illegal distribution -- while hypocritical and harmful to artists -- is not quite as hypocritically humorous as movies studio employees directly engaging in torrent piracy. Thus the industry -- or its employees at least -- appear to have sunk to a new low. As the popular idiom goes, "Do as I say, not as I do."
"Young lady, in this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!" -- Homer Simpson

Tech's Rugby Women Notch Their First Win
SOCORRO, N.M. March 12, 2012 -- The Queens Rugby Club concluded their two-match home set Saturday against the New Mexico State University Lady Chiles by recording their first bona fide victory since reemerging on the New Mexico Tech sporting scene in 2011. After conceding their more experienced downstate rivals a 21-5 win in the first of two seven-woman matches, the Queens raised their play in the second game to pip State 12-10. Jade Horton accounted for Tech's 17-point total with three five-point tries and the deciding conversion kick in the second match.
Jade Horton scores her first of three tries for NMT's Queens Rugby Club against NMSU in Socorro Saturday.
The Queens fielded eight players on a gloomy yet windless first Saturday of the collegiate spring break, enough for a starting "sevens" squad plus one substitute. Although the green-and-gold clad Lady Chiles brought 12 players, the game-time agreement between Queens captain Lynnae Logan and her counterpart was to play sevens to enable the Tech squad to play together rather than borrow Chiles players.
NMSU scored first by stealing a Tech scrum put-in and getting the ball to their speedy wing Taylor McGarry, who added the two-point conversion kick for a 7-0 lead. For their part the Queens achieved relative parity in ball possession but struggled to string together enough passes to breach the defense. Midway through the half Horton, playing prop for the day, foot-tapped from a penalty and ran 15 meters to score her first of three tries. Her drop-kick conversion attempt sailed wide; NMSU 7, NMT 5. The Lady Chiles went to the halftime time break with a 14-5 lead after adding a converted try and added one more on a nice passing movement in the second half to win the first match 21-5.
Dark, low clouds continued to roll in during the second half. The Tech women now took the upper hand in ball possession and expanded their passing attack to isolate NMSU defenders. Symone Armijo, Laura Lane, Willie Desir, and Tonya Ross all lifted their work rates to complement their more experienced teammates Horton, Logan, Michaela Rempkowski, and Lisa Sanchez. Horton notched her second five-point try on another powerful run, but could not convert. McGarry answered with her own unconverted try for State a short time later to level the scores at 5-5.
In the concluding period Horton cemented her Woman of the Match performance with yet another determined run, and as time would tell, sealed Tech's first win when her conversion kick cleared the bar for a 12-5 Tech lead. Again State answered promptly as Addi Woods broke free and out-legged the cover defense over 50 meters to score. Yet the kick went astray and when referee Clint Richardson's final whistle blew scant minutes later Tech's rugby Queens had their first win of the year, 12-10.

Backup, recovery, and archive specialist Quantum is adding a new specialized software solution to help with data protection for virtual machines in its DXi and StorNext product lines.
To do that, the company reported it is buying virtual machine backup specialist Pancetera for $12 million. With all of the high-priced acquisitions taking place right now across the IT industry, $12 million may not sound like a lot of money. In fact, it may seem like even less after you realize the acquisition isn't a pure cash transaction -- instead, Quantum is only paying $8.4 million in cash and $3.6 million in Quantum common stock (approximately 1.2 million shares) to acquire the virtual storage optimization startup.
[ Also on InfoWorld.com: Find out why the latest Linux kernel update is providing open source virtualization users with a platform choice. | Read how Veeam added backup and replication support to Microsoft Hyper-V. | Keep up-to-date on virtualization by signing up for InfoWorld's Virtualization newsletter. ]
Quantum is putting together a complete package for data protection and recovery. With the acquisition, it's gaining a Linux virtual appliance that can help reduce the impact of management tasks in virtual environments across backup, replication, archiving, security scanning, data loss prevention (DLP), and WAN mobility. Pancetera claims its appliance can also help reduce storage I/O load by as much as 80 percent and provides more efficient use of existing storage. It also lets system administrators browse, move, and copy VM files as easily as browsing a Windows network drive within a single, unified console across hypervisors and data stores.
Jon Gacek, CEO of Quantum said, "Together with our DXi deduplication and replication appliances, Pancetera's technology allows Quantum to offer higher performance, easier-to-use, and more cost-effective solutions for managing and protecting data in virtual environments."
While virtualization provides significant flexibility and economic benefits, it also introduces a number of challenges in data storage, across both primary storage as well as backup. And according to a survey conducted by Quantum last year, four out of five IT managers reported difficulties with backing up virtualized environments. That's an alarming number and should signify a major need for a solution.
Perhaps the biggest challenge, according to Quantum, is the duplicated or redundant data found in both VMs and most backup applications that store this data many times over, consuming storage and server resources, extending backup and recovery windows, and consuming more network bandwidth than it should.
Finding the time and resources to do backup and recovery in a virtual server environment, which tend to be 24/7 operations, is an additional challenge. And when you throw in the problem of protecting remote sites and having to deliver disaster recovery across locations, IT departments are struggling to keep their heads above water.
Quantum is betting that the solution will be a combination of its DXi appliances and the technology gained from Pancetera.
Companies like Veeam, Quest, and PHD Technologies have already made a name for themselves in the industry by attacking the virtualization backup and recovery problem with purpose-built offerings. Now that Quantum has more of the pieces it needs to complete the puzzle, it not only has to create the right solution, it also has to make enough noise to be perceived as a major player in the virtualization market.
But this acquisition isn't just about gaining new technology; Quantum is also adding valuable virtualization and storage management expertise to its team. Most of the Pancetera employees are joining the company, including its co-founders Mitch Haile (CTO and vice president of product management) and Greg Wade (vice president of engineering), as well as CEO Henrik Rosendahl. These three senior leaders bring with them broad industry experience, having served at companies such as VMware, Data Domain, and Legato Systems.
Quantum said its DXi disk backup and deduplication products are already compatible with Pancetera technology, so there shouldn't be any integration issues or major surprises; the company should be able to bring its solution to market very quickly. Thinking longer-term, Quantum said it will continue to integrate the acquired technologies into its existing roadmaps for both DXi and its StorNext file sharing and archive offerings.

The tour included the prestigious 3rd annual Ken Spencer Memorial Lecture in Sydney under the auspices of the Australian Government's Financial Reporting Council, which oversees the setting of Australian accounting and auditing standards, and of three national professional accounting institutes. Dr. Zeff was the first academician to deliver the Spencer Lecture. During the tour, Dr. Zeff also made presentations to the Australian Government's National Audit Office and the Department of Finance and Deregulation. The tour comprised visits to Monash University, RMIT University, University of Melbourne, University of Adelaide, University of Western Australia, The Australian National University and the University of New South Wales. Dr. Zeff has extensive knowledge acquired from researching the standard-setting process in eight countries. In 2007, Oxford University Press published his book, Financial Reporting and Global Capital Markets: A History of the International Accounting Standards Committee, 1973-2000, coauthored with Kees Camfferman, of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Dr. Zeff received the 1999 Outstanding International Accounting Educator Award by the International Accounting Section of the American Accounting Association. In 2002, he was inducted as the 70th member of the Accounting Hall of Fame at Ohio State University.

What I've Learned About America
After Eric Chang spent years building furniture in his suburban garage with his childhood friend, Dan Hellman, the two launched Hellman Chang, a Brooklyn-based furniture company that has quickly rose to prominence for creating high-end, hand-made wood furniture that's so languid, it looks like it wasn't made from wood at all. Since 2006, their business has taken off — HBO was calling, so too were those set designers at Gossip Girl and hotels like The Four Seasons and Waldorf Astoria — and Chang and his partner were quickly able to expand their expand their business from award-winning end tables and sideboards into chairs, lamps, and other softer goods that they're in the process of rolling out now. Throughout it all, the thirty-year-old has also picked up a penchant for Ralph Lauren Black Label suits, Isaia shirts, Tom Ford pocketsquares, Magnnani monkstraps, and Alexander Olch suspenders — all of which he was proud to wear while showing us the Bushwick warehouse, his office, where this self-taught furniture craftsman stills crafts his product. Take a look at the stuff he relies on to do his job daily. And, yes, if you're wondering, it comes with plenty of saw dust on those suits of his...

I'm glad you asked. Color Flow Icing should not be used on frozen or refrigerated cookies, cakes or cupcakes. For best results use it on a dry, room temperature item. Otherwise the Color Flow might bleed due to the moisture. Instead, you could freeze the cookies and store the Color Flow pieces separately in a dry, cool place until you are ready to decorate.

There are beauty pageants galore around the world today. There are Miss Such and Such Country.... then there is a Miss World, Miss Universe etc. India has had a fair share of many Beauty Queens, winners of such contests. But in many cases, one finds that these are women with a lot of verve, beauty and energy - but often plastic smiles and less than smart intelligence. I don't want to belittle good looking women - of course this one, a Miss USA contestant, doesn't help their cause much either … [Read more...]

It looks to me that nouveau driver is not for your nvidia card model. You can do this if you want:
Download the nvidia driver for your card at the nvidia website, do it accordingly.
Make sure you have the linux headers install as well as "gcc" and "make", before installing the driver. This, to avoid any problem.
Enter the safe mode or text mode, uninstall the nouveau driver and blacklist it in the modprobe blacklist.conf (/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, just type "blacklist nouveau", save it and exit) install the nvidia driver (previously downloaded from nvidia website and according to your card model), just follow the instructions.
Startx the X's (startx) or just reboot (reboot) at prompt.
If you startx and see some problems, you might want to do this:
modprobe -r nouveau
modprobe nvidia.
If you just reboot, at startup it will load all sistem with new nvidia driver.
If you are not familiar with linux, just reboot.
Why install nvidia driver?
1. Avoid error messages.
2. 3D support.
3. If you want to use compiz, emerald, desktop special effects.
Good luck...
If you want just to pentest, leave it the way it works for you.

Discussion in 'Draft Zone' started by BigDFan5, Nov 27, 2006.
IF Mason Crosby were to drop to our second round pick, do you pull the trigger and draft him?
Next question.
I don't think a kicker is worth a 2nd round pick.
Maybe. Maybe, a 4th.
If he's as good as everybody is saying, yes. What would our record have been last year if our kicker(s) made those potential game winning shots? 12-4? If a second round pick can win me 3 games I pull the trigger even if he is just an idiot kicker.
we tried the Idiot part already.....
I think a kicker can cost or win you 4 games per season.
do it. trade down in round 1. no one else in round 2 could have the impact on our roster as a stud kicker. we don't have a lot of holes these days. where else would a rookie start on this team?
I voted yes but only cause I am curious if hostile's head will explode
Oh hell no.
This is a rare year where maybe so. I dont like it, but maybe. Especially if we traded down and picked up another 2nd, or an early third.
Yes. We havent had a good kicker in years, and Vandertheif was never, ever going to be one.
I expect Dallas to have a low 2nd round draft pick and this is the position of greatest need for a team with a small window to contend for titles.
Kickers are not football players, therefore should never be drafted. Next?
I say yes, i saw the guy last year kick a 58 yard field goal against miami last with plenty of room to spare. The guy has the strongest leg ive seen since janikowsi.
I once saw Mike Vanderjagt hit every FG he attempted in one season, and cure cancer while doing. Oh, and he was drunk.
I think it's about time the Cowboys bit down hard and did it. What gave us Fasano? That whole 'BPA' technique. If we're to follow that and Crosby is on the board somewhere in the 3rd round, why not? Because, and I'm firmly confident in this, no vet the Cowboys sign will be any good.
If the most accurate kicker ever didn't work out for us, man, I don't know what else to do. Gramatica is going to be Jose Cortez redux.
If it's true that he can really hit 70 yarders consistently in practice (ive heard that a couple times) than absolutely hell yes.
If that really is true, than he should be a sure fire first round pick imo. I wouldn't take him there though. I would spend a second on him though
I'm pretty sure it was him.
They were talking about it earlier this year, I was watching Colorado at someone (Louisville maybe?) and the announcers were gushing at the leg the kid had.
I was really hoping to see him line up for a 55 yarder, but alas it didn't happen.
Now I wouldn't expect a 70 yarder in the NFL....practice is different....but if he's consistent from there in practice, one would surmise that the 50 yarders would be very consistent from him.
i want to see his numbers in road games. playing in colorado, with thinner air at high altitude, can inflate his stats.

Using the Cover Page feature of MS Word 2007? (Insert tab of the Ribbon, Cover Page button.)
It's pretty handy and sure makes life easy when you need one.
Have you ever tried to use a cover page in the middle of a document? Maybe you need one as a chapter or section title page?
When you tried to insert the additional cover pages what happened?
Nothing? Well, at least that's what you may have thought happened… but take a good look at your document.
I'd bet that you're going to find that Word simply replaced the cover you had at the beginning of the document.
Not what we were going for at all.
So, how do we get around it?
With a right-click of course! I mean, right-clicks do all kinds of "magic" and this case is no exception.
Next time you try to use a cover page that isn't meant for the first page go to the Cover Page gallery (Insert tab of the Ribbon) and with the mouse pointer over the cover of your choice, right-click.
See all the options?
Pick one and your new cover page will be inserted in the chosen location – even if the current location is the middle of the document!

David Russell, Ph.D.

While traditional 45-minutes-a-week talk therapy teaches communication skills, many couples can communicate perfectly well until their emotions get in the way. When your emotions hit an 8 or a 9 on a 0-10 scale, all of your communication skills instantly disappear. This is why, for couples with strong emotional reactions, traditional therapy can actually make things worse. I use 3-HOUR SESSIONS to help you identify and strengthen the positive parts of your relationship, eliminate the hot-buttons that drag you into those old vicious-circle arguments filled with hurt, anger or resentment and to develop the right emotional climate for healthy and productive communication

Synchronized car bombing
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Synchronized car bombing has taken the world by storm in the past few years. For the first time ever it has been added to the line up of sporting events in the summer Olympics.
edit BeginningsSynchronized car bombing started as just a common terrorist act in the market places of the Middle East. Terrorist started by just placing basic explosives in old cars they found in the street. When a loaded car approached its target was parked or more frequently driven at very high speed right into the target. Many of these attacks were done to kill invading Non-Muslims while innocent bystanders evolved as a bonus. In Al Qaeda cells all over the Middle East, a crude scoring system evolved. The bombers scored points for successfulness, total deaths, and how extreme the explosion looks. But, bombers did not want to stop with single bombing which soon got old. Terrorist began blowing up multiple targets at once with precise and almost rhythmic explosions. Thus, creating the newest extreme sport, Syncronized Car Bombing!
edit Olympic Quality SportAs synchronized car bombing's popularity has grown, teams from all over the world have exploded their way on to the charts. But teams, have not been started in places such as the United States, Britain, France, and, well, just about everywhere outside of Middle Eastern and communist countries. Sources show that people can not just start teams cause it is vaguely ILLEGAL! The sport was added to the list of Olympic sports by the head of the planing comity while looking down the barrel of a AK-47 held by Islamic terrorists. The event is to be done at the Beijing Sport Complex. Huge crowds consisting of mainly die-hard fans, communists, and many terrorists are expected to fill the stadium. Rich innocent people, who though they were buying a floor seat to an Olympic basketball game, are place in the ring in groves to make the sport feel as close to the streets of Iraq as possible. After the Olympics, a new league is to begin in the Middle East. The SCBL will have competitions through out the streets of the Middle East. Teams include Jordan Jihad, Baghdad Bombers, Iran Incinerators, and the Gulf Genocide.
edit SCB Future
Since SCB is illegal in almost every country, underground teams are forming through out the world. People can buy "Syncronized Car Bombing Starter Packs" from professional terrorist teams. Cars are no longer stolen to actually drive but to be blown up in fantastic fashion at junk yards. The number of underground teams grown to rival the size and destructiveness of gangs in East LA. With this rapid growth of teams, it seems like Syncronized Car Bombing is the sport of the future!
