If your golf shot landed in the bunker, the next shot depends on the lie that you have in that bunker. If the lie is bad or rather, the ball is buried, then you will need a higher lofted club such as the 7-iron to the sand wedge to get the ball out. In such cases, it is advisable to get the ball back into play and approach from there.

However, if you have a good lie in the bunker, there are choices for you. If you are not comfortable, you can opt to play safe and just take a lofted club to get the ball back onto the fairway and play from there. The other choice is to go for the green from the bunker. this is possible since you have a good lie.

Longer irons, just as the 3, 4 or 5 irons can be used for situation where you have a good lie in the fairway bunkers. A lofted wood can also be used in place of the longer irons. A 5 or 7 wood is also playable. There are a couple of things to note when playing this shot. It may be slightly different from playing a greenside bunker shot.

1. Take a wider stance for stability.
2. Work your feet into the sand for better balance. You dont want to be sliding around.
3. play the ball slightly back in the stance than normal. bear in mind that this shot requires the golf club contact first with the ball before the sand.
4. Choke down on the shaft of your golf club of choice. this is to compensate the digging inof the feet into the sand.
5. Aim slightly to the left of target.
6. swing normal.. Do not rush and do not try to hit too hard. swing normal
7. follow through the shot. Do not stop at impact.
8. Pray (just kidding)

Lake Eyre according to scientists was once a huge inland sea as the center of Australia. Due to this large body of water and surrounding vegetation Australia supported many large animals. How then did Australia become a sunburnt country?

Scientist believe that with the arrival of man who used fire on a very regular basis to destroy vegetation and bring out game that without realizing what they were doing Aboriginals were slowly choking the Lake to death. Without the vegetation attracting the rain (similar to what happens in Brazil and the Amazon) Lake Eyre dried out and became a desert and the center of Australia become a large barren waste with a green fringe around the continent. This has been the case for thousands of years now.

Kevin Rudd and Peter Beattie are seeking to revived a proposal first suggested over a 100 years ago. That of taking water from the tropical north where the wet season ensures plenty of rain. Many argue that diverting the water could lead to the creation of an environmental disaster with the great barrier reef and numerous ecosystems being affected due to the lost of fresh water. I believe however this will not be the case. The problem with the rivers in the North at the moment is that they discharge too much into the ocean - sediments, fertilizers, flood water. I would think diverting some of that flow what actually be doing the Reef and Northern oceans a favor.

It would cost billions of dollars to build the necessary infrastructure, tunnels, dams, pumping stations. It is not beyond Australia though. Previously the massive snowy river project was completed which shows Australia has the necessary engineering capability to pull such a project off.

Three major rivers would have a large proportion of their flow diverts down the Burdekin River and into Lake Eyre with the aim to refill it permanently. This would recreate Australia's great inland sea and create a moisture rich environment. It is works properly land half the size of the United States would become arable and it could propel Australia into a major player on the world stage and perhaps be the last great western adventure as millions of acres of land becomes farm and forest land.

If it worked the added advantage would be offsetting the worldwide destruction of forests, CO2 problems, etc. Even with a large inland sea and increased moisture the government would still have to ensure the a large proportion of the new land was devote to forests to encourage the hydrological cycle to function at its best as it did thousands of years ago.

One wonders whether Brazil is facing become a sunburnt country with the huge losses of tropical rain forest. At what stage will the whole South America hydrological system collapse - as Australia has suffered. Will humanity learn lessons of the past? However that is a side issue to the topic. Will Australia be able to have a green center - its a multi-billion dollar gamble, but its a gamble that could result in Trillions of dollars profit, hence its a risk worth taking.

For many people, yoga brings to mind an image of a man transformed into the shape of a pretzel. In fact, yoga is a practice which has been developing for thousands of years, and there are new types of yoga springing fourth generation after generation. One of the new types of yoga to emerge recently is Bikram yoga, and herein we will discuss what sets this yoga practice apart, and also the many benefits of Bikram yoga practice.

In Calcutta, 1946, Bikram Choudhury was born. It was quickly evident that he was a yoga prodigy, and he began the formal study of yoga at age four with acclaimed instructor Bishnu Ghosh. After several years of study, he won the National india yoga Contest at the tender age of thirteen. At the age of seventeen an event occurred that transformed his life. While weight lifting, he had an accident and injured his knee badly. He was told that he would never walk again. Not to be deterred, he insisted on being transported back to his childhood teacher. Within six months he was completely healed, and this was the first documentation that yoga could cure serious physical conditions. In 1974 he moved to California and founded the yoga college of india in Beverly Hills. It was here that Bikram developed his unique yoga program.

Before detailing what makes Bikram's yoga different, it may be wise to consider the purpose of yoga. yoga comes from the same root as the English word "Yoke" and can be translated as "Union". Hence, yoga is really about the Union of mind, body, and spirit. Bikram's yoga is a type of hatha yoga which concentrates on the physical, or "body," element of this equation.

One difference of Bikram yoga is that it is performed in a very hot room, usually heated between 95 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit. It consists of Twenty-Six asanas (poses) that are performed in a specific order. While most yoga classes differ from session to session, in Bikram yoga the same asanas are followed in the same order each session. Each asana is held for a particular period of time and all poses are accompanied with Kapalabhati Breath (Breath of Fire). There are also two Pranayama (Breathing) exercises that are performed each session. The combination of the hot room, the special breathing, and the scientific approach to Bikram yoga bring us to the benefits it can bring to Mind, body, and spirit.

If you have ever performed yoga before, you will know that there is an intense tightness in the muscles in the morning and at the beginning of your session. However, the heat of the Bikram yoga studio, along with the "Breath of Fire" actually warms the muscles, tendons, and ligaments, and allows you to go deeper into a pose. This increased flexibility allows you to try poses you might not normally consider. The exercises are also designed to flush the body with oxygenated blood and increase circulation. The static holds increase muscle tone and bring a sense of vibrance and well-being to the psyche. The sweating cleanses the body of toxins, and for this reason be sure to drink plenty of water and carry your own towel to the class. Bikram actually guarantees that you will be relieved of the symptoms of disease if you follow his program exactly.

In the realm of fitness, there are new fads being developed every day. Every so often, a new system will emerge and everyone you know is discussing it. However, few of these new fads will withstand the test of time. Bikram yoga is one system which is technically sound and which was developed in yoga with the assistance of some of the greatest teachers of the 20th century. The benefits of Bikram yoga are manyfold, and they are based upon its differences. Be sure to check for Bikram yoga classes in your area and take advantage of this restorative practice.

The first defense against unhealthy responses to stress is not Tylenol, Motrin... but instead deep breathing. Caution, if you suffer from panic - anxiety and or agoraphobia, this technique is not recommended until after the symptoms are history. This is because breathing techniques require internal focusing which is not recommended for anxiety sufferers. For them external relaxation techniques are recommended - see the resource box.

In response to stress, it is normal that our breathing is immediately affected. It becomes shallow and upper chest which is actually part of the defense mechanism. Even that a sigh is usually a tense upper chest unhealthy breadth.

We generally make three basic mistakes in breathing:
Were so consumed with our appearance that we learn to hold in our stomachs which greatly limits our breathing to the upper chest.
Then when we do take a deep breadth, we force our lungs to expand against our chest putting chest muscles in spasm. This can create chest and back pain.
Some of us lift our shoulders to take in that deep breadth. It's called "clavicle breathing" and it contributes to neck and headache.

Life is about stress and as we adapt to higher and higher levels of stress from one year to the next, our normal breathing becomes tense. Even as we sleep, we may breathe in a tense manner. The tense breathing also starves the body of much needed oxygen, affects our posture, and blocks our Chakras--the natural flow of energy through our bodies.

No matter what the physical health problem--headaches, neckaches, muscle pain... (all direct effects of stress), or disease such as cancer, heart disease... it's important to address breathing (except for anxiety sufferers as previously noted). The problem is that no one makes any money from deep breathing. No drugs are required so you will not hear an announcement on the radio, "Remember to do your stress reduction deep breathing exercise!"

Look for times during the day when you are feeling stressed, under pressure, in a rush, defensive, tense... It's during these times that instead of tensing as you normally would, that you instead remember to do your stress relief deep breathing.

And all you have to do to engage your first defense against stress is to consciously become aware of your breathing. Then shift from your upper chest tense breathing consciously to an abdominal breath.

How to take an abdominal breadththe first defense against stress:
Let your stomach and abdomen relax.
Breathe down through your chest into your stomach.
Let your stomach expand outward.
Let your chest expand slightly at the end of the breadth.

As you exhale:
Pull your stomach inward.
Expel all the air up through your chest.

If you can hear yourself breathe, you are breathing too fast. Ten to twelve breaths per minute is find. If you feel your shoulders lifting as you inhale, it is a tense breadth. Just let your shoulders be loose and limp as you inhale and exhale. Let your arms hang from your shoulder like rope.

If you have the time, take a class in yoga breathing to get in some serious breathing. yoga will provide many healthful benefits.

When to do your deep breathing: Make a list of times during the day when it would be appropriate to take advantage of the deep breathing stress management technique such as:
Whenever you're at a red light.
As youre waiting for your computer to load a program or shut down.
Before answering the phone or making a phone call.
As you listen to someone conversing with you.
Before eating or drinking.
Before entering a building or an office.
Whenever you notice yourself feeling stressed.
Whenever you can remember to take a deep breadth.

Remember, no one makes money on deep breathing so you will not hear an announcer on the radio reminding you to take your deep breadth exercise to manage stress.

See the resource box for a ready made cd for Abdominal Breathing with four different deep breathing exercises (including one to help reduce hyperventilation).
