First attempt of an interior.
Lighting: nine conical lights and one spherical. Tried volumetric lighting as per Dan's fog cube setup, however, too many light rays 'wash-out' the scene (experimenting, therefore, a recommendation). Main light is behind the camera, and is affecting shadow intensity in areas like, for example, the cushion on the ground, leading edge of carpet, chair etc.,...and other areas (click image for larger view on these). Again, more experiementation required, however, for now, this is a finished work.
Artwork title: "Posh Pad"
This is a very nice indoor scene, much better than I could accomplish. I'm nevertheless not completely convinced. If you intend to go seriously into indoors, I recommend to have a look at Rashad's for inspiration. Here are some examples.

Sweden forward Johan Elmander admits his team cannot afford to underestimate tomorrow's FIFA World Cup™ qualifying opponents Kazakhstan. The eastern European nation are ranked 142nd in the world but almost embarrassed Republic of Ireland on Friday in their opening Group C match, eventually losing 2-1 after conceding two very late goals.
Elmander believes that should serve a warning to Sweden as they begin their campaign in Malmo, especially after a disappointing performance in their warm-up friendly win over China PR.
"It is not as easy as it was a few years ago against these teams, the ones we should be better against on paper," said the Galatasaray player. "It is easier to play defensive football than to attack, so it's important to take chances when they come.
"It's a World Cup qualifier now. Training matches are training matches and it is certainly different with Kazakhstan."
Defender Jonas Olsson watched Kazakhstan's match with the Republic and echoed Elmander's words of warning.
"They gave a good team like Ireland a scare so we are set for a tough match. Defensively, they were good," said the West Brom centre-back. "They have fast forwards who ran and worked a lot so it will be a test."
Koller calls for concentration
In Group C's other match tomorrow Austria begin their campaign against neighbours Germany, who started last week with a win over the Faroe Islands. Coach Marcel Koller plays his first competitive match since taking charge almost a year ago and overseeing three victories and a draw in friendlies.
"I'm really looking forward to this game. You get sweaty palms but this is not to do with nervousness but with effort," said the 52-year-old. "Now it is important, also from the coaching side, that we have composure.
"We must concentrate and be consistent until the final whistle. If we succeed in doing this, I am convinced that we can have a good game. You can feel in Austria that the Germany match is the game of games but for me it's just an important game for the start of qualifying."

In her article "Why your brain flips over visual illusions", Jessica Griggs highlights work suggesting that the superior parietal lobe (SPL), an area of the brain known to control attention and process three dimensional images, may control switching our conscious attention from one possible image to another (4 September, p 14). She could have taken us a step closer to understanding what drives this switching by alluding to David Robson's earlier article on vision (28 August, p 30).
Robson discussed various lines of evidence suggesting that the brain processes different features of the visual field in different areas, finally stitching them together in the posterior parietal lobe (PPL).
The primary purpose of any vision system is to monitor the visual field for threats or opportunities. It is not an efficient use of resources to always process the whole visual field to the maximum possible level of detail, so ...

Despite gripes, industry wins ground on fracturing rules
Environmentalists get much, but not all, in Interior's latest initiative
By Jennifer A. Dlouhy | May 17, 2013 | Updated: May 19, 2013 5:08pm
Photo By Cliff Owen/FREFILE - In this March 7, 2013, file photo, Interior Secretary nominee Sally Jewell testifies on Capitol Hill in Washington, before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee hearing on her nomination. The Senate confirmed her on Wednesday, April 10. (AP Photo/Cliff Owen, File)
Photo By Brett Coomer/StaffSecretary of the Interior Sally Jewell, seen here earlier in May at the OTC in Houston, said Thursday that, despite advances in technology, some regulations "date back to the Sony Walkman."
You wouldn't know it from the industry's angry reaction, but the Obama administration's latest plan to tighten standards for drilling on public lands gives more ground to the private sector at the expense of environmentalists who pushed for tougher protections.
The initiative, unveiled by the Interior Department's Bureau of Land Management on Thursday, aims to boost the integrity of oil and gas wells to prevent contamination, would force companies to disclose the chemicals they pump underground and would make drillers adopt plans for managing water at the sites.
Building off a proposal released last May - and later withdrawn - regulators rewrote the entire measure in response to nearly 200,000 public comments and made a number of big concessions to the oil industry in the process.
For instance, the new rule would apply narrowly to hydraulic fracturing on federal and tribal lands, rather than broadly to all well stimulation activities. The proposal would let oil and gas companies reveal the chemicals they use at wells on public land - and withhold some details as trade secrets - using the industry's preferred disclosure system, FracFocus.com.
And federal officials effectively could exempt whole states or tribal territories from the mandates.
According to the government's analysis, the price tag of the proposed requirements would be less than $20 million annually industrywide - or about $6,000 extra per well, a figure that analysts at FBR Capital Markets said represents less than one half of 1 percent of the cost of a typical well.
While some provisions go the other way and tighten requirements for industry more than the proposal released a year ago, on most major, high-profile issues, the administration moved in the direction of oil and gas companies' demands.
Analysts said that's a fresh sign that the Obama administration supports shale gas development and the payoff that comes from increased domestic energy production.
Public confidence
Interior Secretary Sally Jewell referenced the need for balance between economic and environmental concerns in a conference call after the rewritten rules were released.
"It is important that the public has full confidence that the right safety and environmental protections are in place," Jewell said, noting that "despite a lot of advances on the technology side, we continue to use regulations that date back to the Sony Walkman."
In a note to clients, FBR Capital Markets analyst Benjamin Salisbury called the proposed rule "further evidence of the collaborative attitude toward shale regulation" since Obama's 2012 State of the Union address.
The government's handling of the measure also may be a sign that the administration is increasingly interested in regulating hydraulic fracturing by following the lead of states and encouraging self-policing and best practices by industry.
But the industry and its allies contend drilling oversight should be left mostly to states.
The Bureau of Land Management's rule is "a solution in search of a problem," said Karen Harbert, the head of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Institute for 21st Century Energy. "States are much better suited to regulate hydraulic fracturing and have done an effective job. The Department of Interior's rule fails to provide a credible rationale as to why another set of regulations are needed."
Agency looks to states
The regulation itself largely mirrors current best practices for the construction of wells, however, and as the bureau noted in its proposal, the agency "has been looking to state regulations governing hydraulic fracturing for elements that should be incorporated into the revised proposed rule."
New water mandates
ClearView Energy Partners analyst Kevin Book said the rule helps provide "a first look at the second-term regulatory priorities of the White House." And it suggests that the administration is continuing what Book has termed a "give a little, take a little" approach to energy regulation - pushing hard in some areas, being more lenient in others.
Although industry prevailed on some of the biggest issues, the Bureau of Land Management is proposing some changes that would boost requirements for oil and gas companies, including new mandates for well integrity testing and for more specific details in water management plans.
The new measure also expands the definition of "usable water" supplies that drillers must ensure are protected with extra barriers, effectively allowing protections around more contaminated underground water.

Party Sandwiches + GIVEAWAY
I love entertaining in the summer because typical summer get-togethers are mellow, laid back, and simple (just how I really like it). One of my go-to party foods in the summer are sandwiches. That's right, simple sandwiches. I love how versatile they can be. From a simple kid-pleasing platter of pb&j sandwiches to something more grown-up like a new panini recipe — there are so many variations yet they are all still pretty easy to pull off. I've been gathering some of my favorite recipes and ideas on this sandwich Pinterest board.
Another trick is to order your sandwiches …. SIMPLE, right? My hostess tip is to order a platter of sandwiches and transfer to your own platter or make individual "lunch boxes" for guests. You'll save time and energy which will result in your enjoying more of summer! My go-to caterer for affordable and delicious sandwiches is Subway. Here's what I love about them:
- Variety isn't an issue – They offer Giant Subs, Sandwich Platters, SUBWAY to GO!™ boxed meals, drinks, sides and cookie platters.

Rated 3 out of 5 by IMNRTST Hmmm... (5'3",109lbs, 32b-24-37) - XS Black Etherial Mini Dress - Overall it is a decent dress. The manner in which it is made is not as intricate, or detail oriented, as I would have liked for the price tag. It looks similar to a dress I made myself one Saturday, in the past. A Simplicity pattern, no less. It is a couple of yards of basic fabric lace, with lace appliqué around the upper chest and neck. The fit is roomy around the abdomen. A straight line down through the waist, which widens at the hips and thighs so the fabric drapes and flows. What you can't tell by the photos is that the arms are also a loose fit. They flair out a bit wide around the hands. The shoulder measurements fit well (XS = 13" approx. seam to seam), as did the choker part of the dress, around my neck (a 3 button closure). The button loops are very, very delicate!! Be careful and make sure you take a few minutes to reinforce them in place with a needle and black thread. Or better yet, replace them with thin black satin string that can be found at a fabric or crafts store. Getting my head through the head-hole of the dress was snug, and I had to tug gently. So, make sure to do your hair and make-up AFTER the dress is on. I prefer the dress with a nude, shell or light pink, mid-thy length camisole. If it weren't a gift, I'd send it back and use the money to pay a taylor to custom make a short lace dress with a better fit around the waist, eye catching seams that play illusionary sculpting, and a few tiny black beads to catch some light. But hey, if you have the expendable cash and not the time to wait for your dress to be made, by all means... get this one. 3.14.2014

Ideling an engine too long without use of fan
I have read a lot that you should not let your engine idle longer than a few minutes without the use of a fan. I do understand the concept and thought behind that advice :clap , but here comes my question. Have the engines not been designed to withstand ideling for a longer period of time like it may occur in a traffic jam? What are you guys doing if you come to a standstill somewhere on the highway?
Lane splitting is legal in some states, but if it looks like the traffic won't be moving for a long time I make like a moped and use the shoulder.
When I am working on the bike and need to have it idle I'm careful of this issue. It gets hot, I don't have a fan available, but it seems to do just fine. I probably don't idle the bike more than 4 mins in these situations.
I've had a couple of times in traffic though that were disconcerting. In the city I have been able to take a different route but several times stuck on some Highway the bike did seem to be too hot. I've adopted the attitude more recently that I have to use the breakdown lane and I either go to the nearest exit or if I know what roads are around I select an exit near by.
The bike runs very poorly when it gets this hot but apparently it's not been a lasting issue as it seems to recover. There have been recent threads about riders that have warped heads or valve covers and these could be from such over heating episodes.
Depends on the various circumstances.
Has the bike just been started from cold.
Is the engine already hot from slow driving in traffic/trail work.
How long do you expect to be stopped for.
If I catch a red light at a known slow changing intersection on a hot day, I switch off. Why sit there for 90 seconds idling an already hot motor.
I've idled them longer than four minutes, sometimes when there's been trouble adjusting carbs. And then the hotter it gets, the more likely you'll have to go back and tweak things when it's at normal running temp.
It depends a lot on how hot it is that day. But the thing to be concerned about the most is the cylinder heads. They're the hottest part of the engine.
I too have found it almost amusing that airhead riders don't think they can idle these engines for more than a few minutes without assistance from fans. Do you really think that in all the time BMW spent developing and building these engines they considered that sometimes the traffic stops moving. When you compare other air cooled configurations such as the UJM 4 cylinders the airhead is a much better design for cooling itself. I never shut any of my bikes off on the highway when stopped at construction or traffic delays without any problems. These things are not fragile, they can handle idling just fine. On tuneups and settings I can see where holding the cylinder head temperature stable would be important but outside of that I don't see it.
I have a question on how you would cool the jugs if more than a couple minutes. Would you use 2 fans, 1 on each cylinder? Just wondering.
I would think even a slight breeze will be enough to keep fresh air moving over the cylinders. Now if it's dead still, like in a garage then that's a different story.
I usually put my one box fan in front of the front wheel and crank it to medium or high speed. Provides plenty of air over the cylinders.
Anything more than 10 mins. on the fan and I just hop on for a spin around the block. This also helps me tell how close my adjustments are getting.
A large % of BMW production has always been for Government service and as such those bikes would have spent quits a bit of their time sitting in slow moving traffic.
Where I live is not that warm, but I don't bother with fans when playing with carbs
FWIW: I have been sitting with a 1000cc CR9.5 engine in stop 'n go traffic for more than 1/2hr on the motorway at high noon during a very hot summer day (deliberately not using the shoulder to drive on). The oil temperatures (no oilcooler) measured at the oil dipstick went way into the red zone for most of the time (way past 260F IIRC) and I was getting nervous. I was about to use the shoulder and shut the engine down (got cold feet I guess) when traffic moved on. Everything went back to normal soon after.
They can idle for a very long time. I have not used a fan when setting carbs.
There was a thread on this forum I think, where someone had started up an airhead and forgot about it, until it ran out of fuel, what I can't remember was how much damage was caused by this.
I have in the past ridden at slow speeds in deep ish sand at air temperatures in the 40-45C range in the middle of Australia, the oil temperature did get into the red zone, but I don't think any real damage was caused.
Airhead overheating
I've recently experience when stuck in a traffic jam that my idling gets higher and after more than half an hour on really slow traffic in the tropics, the idling goes up to 4000 rpm... After turning off the engine and giving it some rest, it's starts and idle normal again.... Any reason why it's like this?
My own experience over almost 40 years of riding and self-maintaining my BMWs, has been to use common sense. If I am in traffic that is running extremely slow on a warm to hot day, then you may need to pull over and let things cool down, or find another route. Basically, if when sitting on the bike and the heat from the cylinders is getting very uncomfortable for your shins, then it is getting too hot. Pulling over and stopping, may not be the best thing to do, as the heat will continue to build for a short while after shutdown. If you can, pull over to side of road and just putter along, keeping the air flow happening. Better yet, get out of the traffic and ride a different route till the bike cools down. Only takes a few minutes.
As to tuning carbs, I have never bothered with a fan. I have had stock bikes idling for up to 15 to 20 minutes with no ill effects. I say no ill effects because those same bikes are still on the road with a lot of mileage on them and most have never had any major work required. I figure that if I can get over 200,000 miles, or more, on an engine without a rebuild, then no real damage has been done by letting them idle like that.
Plus, if you take longer than 15-20 minutes to set carbs, then you have other issues involved. These bikes are so damn simple, you should be able to get the carbs pretty close prior to initial startup then it just takes some minor tweaking. But many people keep looking for a fix, where there isn't any real problem.

Arizona high court to review ruling on temporary gun seizures
PHOENIX -- The Arizona Supreme Court agreed to review a lower court's ruling that police can take temporary custody of a person's gun for officer-safety reasons even if the person's contact with police was voluntary.
A man appealing a firearms misconduct conviction argued that Phoenix police wrongfully took his gun after he agreed to talk with officers in a high-crime area.
State law allows police to take temporary custody of firearms during encounters with people, and the Court of Appeals ruled that includes when a person is merely in consensual contact with police.
The July 30 ruling said that gives police flexibility while safeguarding the rights of lawfully armed individuals.
A dissenting judge argued that the law only applies when there's an "investigative" stop based on reasonable suspicion of criminal activity.

T minus 6 days to the first real test and a quick trip tomorrow for a 1 day shakedown ride, disconnected shore power and hooked the trailer up so I could pull it out and load up. All systems are go! Well not.... no 12v anything. So I started tearing things apart, I checked the breakers and nothing,fuses..nothing. checked the battery and it was at 12.7v so the charger had been working, checked grounds, all showing 12.7 v....I was ready to burn the trailer after all the work I had in it. I took a breath and figured I would check voltage at the fuses and started pulling and checking, first 3 no volts, last one ...BLOWN. I forgot that all 12v goes through that fuse and I had left a 15 in there and had meant to change it, put in a new one and ...lights! I double checked everything and did a test with all lights on, water pump and Fantastic fan and we were good to go.

This list is intended to classify trucks and to provide links to articles on the various types. The three main classifications for road truck by weight are light trucks, medium trucks, and heavy trucks. Above this there are specialised very heavy trucks and transporters such as heavy haulers for moving oversized loads, and off-road heavy trucks used in construction and mining which are too large for highway use without escorts and special permits.
In the UK, trucks (lorries) are defined by the driver's license required. They are either Heavy Goods Vehicles (greater than 7 1/2 tonnes) which require an HGV licence, or less in which an ordinary driver's license is all that is required.
The following are not types of trucks but types of use of the trucks listed above:

Consumers 'want phones that act like PCs'
25 February 2009 — 2:00 PM
The latest mobile phones need to be more like personal computers (PCs) to attract frequent users, one expert has advised.
According to a spokesman from Mformation Technologies, a mobile device management services provider, internet access and other data facilities are increasingly important to many.
Rob Dalgety, commercial director for the group, said consumers wanted a more "personalised mobile experience" and by providing PC-like applications, manufacturers and networks had been able to offer this.
"In addition, end user tastes and market demands are constantly changing, which means the applications and services that are presented to users need to be updated regularly," he explained.
Recent research from Tellabs suggested the use of mobile web services would continue to grow in 2009 - despite the economic climate.
The comments could inspire many to recycle used mobiles in favour of a more high-tech model such as the smartphones available from firms like BlackBerry, Apple, Samsung and LG.

ISSUE DATE: April 29, 2002
What's New?
Retirement reception
The campus community is cordially invited to attend a president's reception for retiring Vice President for Student Affairs Barbara Geider on Wednesday, May 8 from 2-4 p.m. in the Hopfer Admissions and Alumni Center. Geider has been serving the students of SUNY New Paltz for 25 years.
The search is on
Harry Scherr III, chair of the Presidential Search Committee, announced that the committee met on April 19 to continue its work in attracting and landing the best candidate to serve as New Paltz' next president. The committee has reviewed letters of interest from many individuals, and is now developing an evaluation process to identify the candidates who meet the standards of the committee. Since attracting the best candidates cannot happen without properly showcasing the campus and its community of faculty, staff and students, the committee decided to continue working through the summer and begin preliminary interviews in the fall, when classes are in session. Consistent with the terms of his initial appointment, Interim President Steven Poskanzer will continue to serve as SUNY New Paltz president until the search process is complete. "Patience and support from faculty and staff are much appreciated," said Scherr.
Great honor
At the May 2001 SUNY New Paltz commencement ceremony, the Association of Native Americans, Mid-Hudson Region presented to the university the "honoring pipe" on the occasion of the conferring of a Doctorate of Humane Letters on Adam "Fortunate Eagle" Nordwall. The Sojourner Truth Library is now exhibiting this pipe in its main gallery, where it will remain through commencement day on May 19. This "honoring pipe" was commissioned by the Cloud Breaker Society of the Association of Native Americans, but it "has not been awoken." Thus, it may be placed on public display. The honoring pipe consists of two parts: the "pipe bowl," which is joined to the "calumet." The pipe bowl, signed by Fortunate Eagle, is made of red stone obtained from the Red Pipe Stone Quarry in Minnesota. The calumet, made from the heartwood of the American ash tree, has four swirls attached to a silver and gold feather symbolically from the wings of the great American golden eagle. Each feather is uniquely crafted and signed by American silversmith and SUNY New Paltz professor emeritus Kurt Matzdorf. The joined pipe rests in a display stand made from the wood of the lighting tree (locust tree) on a mahogany base. Fortunate Eagle was selected for the Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters for his efforts in focusing Native American awareness by unifying many Native Peoples in a common struggle, which ultimately resulted in a significant change in United States Federal policies toward Native Peoples. Larry Hauptman (History) and Gerald Kitzmann (Physics) were instrumental in the selection of Fortunate Eagle for the Doctorate of Humane Letters, the commissioning of the pipe by the Cloud Breaker Society, and its presentation to SUNY New Paltz.
Ottaway gift
Select exhibitions featured at the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art at SUNY New Paltz will now live well beyond their venues at the SDMA thanks to a donation from Jim and Mary Ottaway. The $7,500 annual gift will fund the publication of scholarly catalogs for one-person exhibitions that feature the works of prominent artists who currently live and work in the Hudson Valley and Catskill regions. "My wife, Mary, is an artist working in the Hudson Valley on the natural beauty of our landscapes, large and small. We are both lovers of the best Hudson River School painters, from the 19th and 20th centuries," said Jim Ottaway. "We both support the program led by museum director Neil Trager to exhibit the work of some of the most talented and creative artists living in the Hudson Valley." The first catalog published through the Ottaways' gift documents the Robert Morris exhibition that was one of two inaugural exhibitions featured at the museum's grand opening in October 2001. "Lesley Dill: A Ten Year Survey" is the second exhibition to be documented in the series. This exhibit is traveling nationally and will be exhibited at museums and galleries throughout the United States. The catalog will be available at all of the venues. "The museum has a mission-based commitment to address the cultural heritage of the Hudson Valley and Catskill Regions. We do this a number of ways, but primarily through exhibitions and publications," said Trager. "I am very pleased about this partnership, as it will ensure we are able to produce high-quality catalogs that, when compiled as a set, will provide an important record of both the artists' work and the museum's regional programs and services." Both catalogs are available for sale at the museum during its regular hours of operation.
Countdown to commencement
Nearly 1,500 candidates will graduate in May and August, and all are invited to participate in the commencement ceremony on May 19. This year's commencement will include a presentation of awards and special recognition by SUNY Chancellor Robert King and an address from class of 2002 valedictorian Robert Storch (Business). King will recognize newly-confirmed Distinguished Professor Gerald Benjamin (Liberal Arts and Sciences), and Chancellor's Award for Student Excellence honorees Barbara Ehlers, Eric Garcia, Mark Otto and Danny Zima.

First off I would like to say thank you to all of those who reached out to me. So much support from people that don't even know me in person is astounding.
I would like to give all of you insight on what happened to me over the last few days as well as a little backstory to my life. This is what made me, me.
Since I was very young I felt a strong desire for companionship. This became problematic for me as I was destined to have no luck with the ladies. My life felt empty. Early in high school I fell for a girl that lived down the road from me. We became good friends. That's all we ever were though as she had no interest in me whatsoever. That hurt and I continued to be alone. I dated three girls during high school. The first never even kissed me. We dated for less than 24 hours and she said it felt like she was dating her brother. The second started dating me when she was drunk and stopped dating me days later when she started dating another guy. To this day I'm not really sure that she remembered asking me to go out with her. The third I walked home from school every day for a week then on the weekend me and my buddies went to see her at her house. She came outside and told me to leave that she was fucking a guy upstairs. So that was that. I was mercilessly bullied and tormented throughout high school which just intensified my isolation. I was almost 18 and still a virgin, hell I'd barely even kissed a girl. My depression had reached a new low. I prepared to give up and carved my initials into a bullet and began to let go. That night I went out with my friends with what, for me, was going to be the last time. We were eating at a sonic resteraunt and as we were getting ready to go a girl stopped me and said that her friend inside really wanted to talk to me but she was shy. She asked for my number and I have it to her. I never saw what she looked like but after a 12 hour phone conversation I was falling for her. It turns out that a small patch of woods and a dirt road was all that separated us. We met each other at the top of that hill the next morning. That moment is still with me to this day. It was the only event in my life as profound as the births of my children. As we both came up that hill I found my self staring into the most beautiful blue eyes ever made they sparkled in the sun like diamonds. All we did was look into each others eyes and we kissed. I was finally alive. I took this girl home and made out with her for hours. She asked if I wanted to do more than kiss and I told her not yet. I knew the time would come and it would be perfect. It was perfect. My first time came two months later on top of that hill where our eyes first met. Only this time it was under the moonlight.
So that's how I got here my wife was my first. We separated for a time and I had dated another girl who as it turns out only conned me into her bed with talk of love just to get her ex back. That was quite devastating. Me and my wife found each other again though. We have been together for 13 years. I have been with my only love the only girl to ever show me attention. The only girl who has ever liked me for thirteen years. No other woman has ever looked at me that way I have never been hit on or desired by any woman other than my wife.
I'm going to skip through all the sordid details of pain I have suffered to keep this woman by my side. Infedelity and drug addiction pretty much sums it up. I cherish her and I have always taken care of her. She had finally let me help her turn a corner in her life and get past her addiction problems. Then she wanted to leave me as she said she hadn't loved me for years.
Which brings us to now. This destroyed me I within a matter of moments crumbled into a broken mess. My world died that day. I felt I could no longer take care of my children in this condition so I attempted to take my life. I almost died two days ago. I hung myself. I saw the darkness come over me and I lost consciousness. I awoke on the floor the hook I had hung myself from broke. My pain continued I still wanted to die. Yesterday I decided that I was going to take a bunch of sleeping pills and not wake up. Suddenly I had an epiphany. This wasn't the way to go that I couldn't hurt my wife or my children in that way. I accessed my brain and figured out how to box up the emotion and lock it away. Last night I gave my wife a small key to symbolize this and I told her that I've locked my heart away. It belongs to her. If she ever wants it back she only needs to give me the key and its hers. Then I bagan to heal and move on in whatever way I can. I may date again. I doubt it but I guess you never know. But I will never be able to love anyone as deeply as I love her.
So there's a little insight into some of what shaped me into the man I am today.
EDIT: I'm a little distraught, please forgive me for posting this in the general section. Mods please move.

A Plan In The Sand
Make bunker play easier with the right know-how
Labels: Short Game, Chipping, Trouble Shots
|This Article Features Photo Zoom
To play successful shots from normal sand, set up with the clubface slightly open and the shaft neutral (up and down) to slightly back at address. This will allow for more use of the trailing edge or the bounce your sand wedge has built in. The trailing edge is what will help the club "bounce" out of the sand and prevent too much digging action.
If you use too much of the leading edge in this situation, the divot will be much deeper than our 1.5-inch goal. The result will be a ball that doesn't come out with enough energy.
Finally, I like to keep my weight slightly favoring my forward side, with a neutral grip pressure. Unlike the firm sand shot, I want my hands to release.
Practice hitting shots from different sand in the same bunker. Use the rake and simulate firm, soft and fluffy sand. You'll have a better understanding of how the sand reacts to different setups and swings.
The ideal plane for a bunker shot in normal sand is your natural one. Of the three, this shot is played most like a regular shot, only instead of hitting the ball first, you're aiming at the sand an inch or so behind the golf ball.
Play this shot with the face slightly open. You want to add some loft and bounce, but not so much that the club bounces off the sand and doesn't dig properly. How much should you open the face? That depends on your comfort level. Experiment with opening the face so you find just the right amount that works for you, only leave some room to open it even more (for fluffy lies).
Playing a bunker shot from normal sand should always be played aggressively. More often than not, I see my students get tentative and afraid of hitting the ball too far, or they hit too low in the sand. Both strategies lead to ugly results! Play your sand shots with some added vigor and don't be afraid of hitting it long, and at the same time, don't dig too much into the sand. Remember, 1.5 inches is plenty deep enough.
In the above photos, you can see I've made an aggressive strike and glided the club through the sand without slowing down. I've also released my wrists through the stroke since there's no need to try to hold the face square or open. A good trick to speed up the hands is to remember to make contact with the sand using the trailing edge of your wedge. You'll instinctively speed up the clubhead without excess digging.

Dancing With The Stars
DWTS Season 12 Premiere Power Rankings
Who's dancing to the top and who's shuffling off to nowhere? The judges had their say during the Dancing With the Stars Season 12 premiere, but here's our rankings based on initial performance, future potential, personality power, and shameless favoritism when it comes to Maks showing the goods:
Wendy Williams & Tony Dovolani
Ranking: 11 out of 11 (so pretty much no chance of winning)
Why: Wendy had a slightly higher score than Mike Catherwood, but it was after doing a Cha-Cha-Cha. That should have been right up her alley. It seemed like a great opportunity to show off her big personality. Unfortunately, the dance just showed off her insecurities. On Monday, Wendy & Tony have the uber-fast and classy Quickstep, which is unlikely to bring out her wild, fun side. Wendy's saving grace could be Tony, who is not only a patient teacher, he's a beloved pro. Between them, their fans may be able to pull out a save.
Mike Catherwood & Lacey Schwimmer
Ranking: 10 out of 11
Why: Mike got the lowest scores of the week, but it was for the Foxtrot, which wasn't ever really going to be his forte. On Monday he and Lacey have the Jive, which will be his make-it-or-break-it dance in terms of showing off his fast, fun, flirty — but not too flirty — side. It should be a better fit for him.
Chris Jericho & Cheryl Burke
Ranking: 9 out of 11
Why: Chris & Cheryl had a fun, energetic Cha-Cha-Cha that put them near the middle of the pack. With his size and personality, it's going to be tough to excel at the classy ballroom elegance of the Quickstep. He can probably pull it off well, but it just seems like the rock and roll Cha-Cha-Cha would be the stronger of his two dances.
Romeo & Chelsie Hightower
Ranking: 8 out of 11
Why: Romeo & Chelsie also ended up near the middle of the pack with a sexy Cha-Cha-Cha, but for the Quickstep they have youth and energy on their sides. We can picture both of them grinning from ear to ear as they glide through the ballroom dance. We'll see if that turns out to be true.
Sugar Ray Leonard & Anna Trebunskaya
Ranking: 7 out of 11
Why: Anna choreographed a really cute routine for their Foxtrot and Ray pulled it off beautifully. They had a fun, sweet, classy performance. Their scores weren't that high, but he had great performance power. On Monday, Ray has the Jive, which is really going to push him to stretch in a fast, fun routine. Whatever happens, he's likely to get the support of the fans just for putting himself out there.
Kendra Wilkinson & Louis van Amstel
Ranking: 6 out of 11
Why: Kendra was a bit soft out of the gate in her Cha-Cha-Cha, but she does seem to have great potential. She said she wants to show off her classy side, so the Quickstep will give her a chance to do that. A lot of people pegged her as the pre-season favorite, so a quiet start could end up in her favor if she steadily improves.
Petra Nemcova & Dimitry Chaplin
Ranking: 5 out of 11
Why: Their Foxtrot was all class and elegance — and they claim Petra isn't even naturally elegant. Ha! She is not only gorgeous, she's also sweet and more relatable than some of the show's past models. Plus, Dmitry is hot and fans have missed him (he's been gone for a few season). This week they have the Jive, which should show off a lighter side to her personality. And maybe even some sex appeal?
Hines Ward & Kym Johnson
Ranking: 4 out of 11
Why: Hines was a bit of a surprise success in his Cha-Cha-Cha. He had so much energy, confidence, and personality. If Kym can keep his posture in check, they should have a fantastic, crowd-pleasing Quickstep.
Ralph Macchio & Karina Smirnoff
Ranking: 3 out of 11
Why: They were top of the leaderboard after the premiere, but let's be honest — they squeaked by with that win, helped out by Karina's classy choreography and the stage production to "Ain't That A Kick in the Head." We adore Ralph, but we need to see him Jive to determine whether he just got lucky with that Foxtrot.
Chelsea Kane & Mark Ballas
Ranking: 2 out of 11
Why: Their Foxtrot was adorable. So cute, but also classy. But the fast, fun, bouncy Jive is Mark's comfort zone. Mark owns that dance and he should be able to go all-out with the choreography when it comes to Chelsea. They should put on one helluva show.
Kirstie Alley & Maksim Chmerkovskiy
Ranking: 1 out of 11
Why: Ralph may have won over the judges, but there's no question Kirstie owned the premiere. She's the one most of us were talking about after the show. She surprised us in a great way with her energy, sex appeal, and personality. Frankly, she put on the Cha-Cha-Cha we expected from Wendy. Plus, the dance used Maks to his best advantage with an open shirt and tight pants. Now they have to do a Quickstep, which will be a tough challenge, but they are the must-watch couple of the season. We can't wait to see what they come up with next.
