Trending: Eastwood and Timberlake created bond at Augusta

Written By Unknown on Kamis, 20 September 2012 | 08.45

By Derek Evers

If you're a red-blooded American male, chances are you envy the lives of Clint Eastwood and Justin Timberlake. Success, fame, money, women, toughness (well, Eastwood at least); they seem to have it all. And just when it seems it can't get any better for two of the country's preeminent leading men comes word the pair spent some time together playing golf at Augusta National. For 36 holes. A week before the Masters.

Let us take a moment as the collective sighs dissipate.

In a recent interview with USA Today promoting their new film Trouble With The Curve, Eastwood and Timberlake admitted their shared passion for the game led to some off-set time on the course during their Atlanta-based shoot. Being that Eastwood didn't direct Curve, he was able to spend some time on the course in-between shoots.

"When you're directing, you never get to play golf," Eastwood told USA Today. "But we managed to get a few rounds in down there."

"Down there" of course refers to Augusta National, and though scores weren't revealed, the time the two spent together seems to have served at least their sense of humor well.

"If [Timberlake] had been a lousy player it would have been, 'He can't play the role.' " Eastwood joked, probably knowing a trip to the home of the Masters was in the cards during his stay in Georgia.

"He might be great on the tape, but what's his handicap?" Timberlake fired back.

Timberlake sports an impressive plus-5 handicap, so he had no problems sharing a few rounds with the legend, and maybe a few laughs at his expense. Which is more than can be said for director Robert Lorenz and the rest of the Curve crew.

"The two of them would go off and have fun while the rest of us were working all the time," Lorenz added.

But can we expect the duo to make any future tee-times together?

"We were just talking about that. When does the sun go down?" Timberlake asked, somewhat rhetorically.

"I don't know." Eastwood replied. "How late do you think the driving range is open?"

Sigh.

The Syllabus: Settling in

One of the best things about college golf is that the top programs in the country go head-to-head against each other as much as any sport. Case in point: the Ping/Golfweek Preview, which begins Saturday at the Capital City Club, site of next spring's NCAA Championship. Fourteen of the 15 teams in the field are ranked in the top 25 Golf World/Nike Golf men's preseason coaches' poll, including seven of the top eight teams (only No. 6 Auburn is missing).

What makes this event even more compelling is the fact that nearly all the programs are at full strength. The top player that might not be 100 percent for the coming event is Washington senior Chris Williams, who has been diagnosed with mono. I contacted UW coach Matt Thurmond to ask if Williams might skip the Preview since he is suppose to be going to Turkey next week to compete for the U.S. in the World Amateur Team Championship. Thurmond said that Williams is going to make the trip to Georgia, noting "Can't convince him otherwise."

With Williams in the field, five of the top 10 players in the World Amateur Golf Ranking—Alabama's Justin Thomas and Bobby Wyatt, Texas' Jordan Spieth and Washington's Cheng-Tsung Pan—will be facing off at the Crabapple Course.

Given the quality of the field, I think one of the big names steps up this week and wins the individual title. I like Spieth's chances as he looked sharp in his first start at the Carpet Capital, which was played not far from Capital City Club. If there is a dark horse that pulls out the win, I suspect it will be one of the local guys from Georgia (T.J. Mitchell perhaps) or Georgia Tech (how about Ollie Schniederjans).

Team wise, given the impressive starts by No. 1 Alabama, No. 2 Texas and No. 3 California, I figure one of the three—if not all—will be in contention. My educated guess is that the Crimson Tide ultimately come out on top, which isn't necessarily a good thing. Only UNLV in 1997 has won the Preview title and gone on to claim the NCAA crown.

THE FAB FIVE
My look at the top five teams in the country right now

Texas logo.jpeg1. Texas (Last week: 1)
Listening to Brandon Stone on the Longhorn Network this past week makes you believe the transition from South Africa to Austin is going as well off the course as was on the course at the Carpet Capital. He'll be testing putting his lucky South Africa shoes to a tougher test, however, when the team plays next week at the Preview.  
Next event: Ping/Golfweek Preview, Capital City Club, Atlanta, Sept. 23-25

Cal logo.gif2. California (2)
The depth in the Bears lineup makes cracking the starting lineup a challenge in and of itself. Same five heading to Georgia that won the season opener in Minnesota—Brandon Hagy, Max Homa, Walter Huddy, Michael Kim and Michael Weaver—means two starters at last year's NCAA Final Four squad (Joel Stalter and Pace Johnson) must wait another tournament to make fall debuts.   
Next event: Ping/Golfweek Preview, Capital City Club, Atlanta, Sept. 23-25

Washington 2012-13.jpeg3. Washington (5)
A true team win at home to start the fall, with the Huskies taking the Kikkor Golf Husky Invitational title by nine strokes over Texas A&M. Most interesting part was despite claiming Cheng-Tsung Pan earning medalist honors, his final-round score (76) didn't count for UW as Trevor Simsby, Charlie Hughes and Jonathan Sanders were the three low scores for the Huskies over the final 18.
Next event: Ping/Golfweek Preview, Capital City Club, Atlanta, Sept. 23-25

Alabama logo.gif4. Alabama (3)
There were some who thought that if there were any players looking  to give PGA Tour Q school a shot in this final year of existence they might come from Tuscaloosa, a testament to the top young talent on Jay Seawell's roster. Yet coach says making next year's U.S. Walker Cup team is a goal for several of his top players. Music to captain Jim Holtgrieve's ears (and Seawell's).
Next event: Ping/Golfweek Preview, Capital City Club, Atlanta, Sept. 23-25

Florida logo.gif5. Florida (4)
Still shaking my Campus Insider head at the scores from the final round of the Invitational at the Ocean Course. The Gators shot team 305 with crazy winds, nine strokes better than the average team score. Hope come spring time when evaluating individual stroke averages for All-American candidates T.J. Vogel (77) and Tyler McCumber (78), it will be taken into account. Don't want to see good players be penalized for playing a tough course on a brutal day.
Next event: Olympia Fields/Illini Invitational, Olympia Fields CC, Olympia Fields, Ill., Sept. 30-Oct. 2

Women
Florida logo.gif1. Florida (1)
Backed up opening victory at the Cougar Classic with a nice second-place showing at the Dale McNamara. Even better was the fact senior Isabelle Lendl built off her strong showing in her fall debut by claiming medalist honors in Tulsa by three strokes. Got to like where this is trending right now.
Next event: Lady Tar Heel Invitational, UNC Finley GC, Chapel Hill, N.C., Oct. 12-14

UCLA logo 2008-09.gif2. UCLA (2)
After hosting their annual fundraiser on Monday (by the way, the baseball cards of the players are way cool), my guess is this group is anxious to get the season started in Colorado. There still has to be a bit of collective frustration for the Bruins after their performance at nationals last May.   
Fall opener: Golfweek Conference Challenge, Red Sky GC, Vail, Colo., Sept. 24-26

Alabama logo.gif3. Alabama (3)
With Stephanie Meadow and Jennifer Kirby are off to Turkey for next week's Women's World Amateur Team Championship, the Crimson Tide has a few weeks to relax and regroup. Says here we're going to see a much sharper team in Athens in a few weeks.      
Next event: Liz Murphey NCAA Fall Preview, U. of Georgia GC, Athens, Ga., Oct. 5-7

Duke logo.gif4. Duke (4)
The coaching chops of Dan Brooks are impressive, which is why I'm particularly anxious to see what happens with this squad as the season unfolds. I don't think we'll get a real idea of how good the Blue Devils are until the spring, but I get the sense that this group is willing to buy into his "process" mindset.
Next event: Liz Murphey NCAA Fall Preview, U. of Georgia GC, Athens, Ga., Oct. 5-7

Arizona State logo 2012-13.jpeg5. Arizona State (NR)
A young Sun Devils squad gave coach Melissa Luellen a neat gift to open the season with its three-stroke victory at the Dale McNamara Invitational, the tournament that honors Luellen's mom, the legendary Tulsa coach. Most impressed with the fact en route to her second-place showing individually, junior Daniela Ordonez became first ASU golfer to post three sub-par rounds in a tournament since Carlota Ciganda did it in May 2009.
Next event: Stanford Intercollegiate, Stanford GC, Palo Alto, Calif., Oct. 19-21

STAT OF THE WEEK
4
Number of players on the Texas State women's team who will be competing in the Women's World Amateur Team Championship next week in Turkey, the most of any Division I program in the country. Mara and Krista Puiste (the resent winner at the Mary Fossum Intercollegiate) will represent Latvia, Valdis Jonsdottir will play for Iceland and Iman Nordin for Malaysia.

TWEET OF THE WEEK

REPLY OF THE WEEK (TO A TWEET OF THE WEEK)

RANDOM THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
Need to send not just a congratulations note but a thank you as well to my sister-in-law on the birth of her new daughter, Sophia Maria. She was conveniently born on the same date as another one of my nieces, Morgan Isla, making it much easier for a sometimes confused uncle to remember birthdays.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR
Casey martin action.jpg* It was a fun story, seeing Oregon men's coach Casey Martin playing again on the Web.com Tour last week after playing in the U.S. Open this summer, finishing T-55 at the Albertsons Boise Open. Afterward, he joined his squad at the Kikkor Golf Husky Invitational to kick off their fall schedule. Unfortunately, the showing at Gold Mountain GC in Bremerton, Wash., wasn't quite as satisfying as his in Boise. The Ducks finished T-6, 37 strokes behind eventual champion Washington. It's just one event, but the performance from a lineup with two freshmen and two sophomores hints at a larger issue: the departures of seniors Eugene Wong, Daniel Miernicki and Andrew Vijarro mean the 2012-13 Ducks are a young bunch that might take its lumps. Sophomore Rak Cho and senior Robbie Ziegler are the only returning players with at least 10 college starts to his credit. Sophomore Jonathan Woo played for the Ducks in the post-season last spring, showing promise. But all in all my guess is that Martin's feel-good moments might have been all used up earlier this year.

Brooke Pancake.jpeg* Brooke Pancake, who helped lead Alabama to the NCAA women's title last spring in her final college appearance, is hoping to become the first golfer to win the NCAA Woman of the Year award. The award honors female student-athletes who have distinguished themselves in academic achievement, athletic excellence, community service and leadership. The three-time All-American, who earned a degree in marketing and finished with a 4.0 GPA, was one of nine finalists named earlier this week. The winner will be announced Oct. 12.

* The direct effect might never be felt in golf, but for those at all interested in the NCAA and its autonomy in intercollegiate athletics, but it might be time to start paying closer attention to the three-year-old anti-trust suit filed by former UCLA basketball star Ed O'Bannon (among others) against the NCAA, EA Sports and the Collegiate Licensing Company over the use of college players likenesses. Correspondences and depositions between the NCAA and EA Sports were unsealed this week and contradicted their previous contention that the NCAA unequivocally believed it had the authority to sell athletes' publicity rights without compensation.

That college student-athletes give up all rights to their names and likenesses seems pretty preposterous, which is why the case has move this far through the court system. Should O'Bannon win the case, it opens up the potential for thousands of former college players to seek financial restitution for the previous use of their images. Since EA Sports hasn't created a college golf video game, past college golfers wouldn't likely be able to recoup any unseen earnings, but they probably would benefit from changes in NCAA regulations that would be forced if O'Bannon were to win.

Cara Mudah Menyelesaikan Masalah

Written By Unknown on Selasa, 27 Maret 2012 | 00.56

Cara Mudah Menyelesaikan Masalah Banyak yang bilang pertengkaran adalah bumbu dalam sebuah hubungan. Bahkan bisa menguatkan ikatan cinta. Hanya, tak semua pasangan mampu mengelola dengan baik sehingga kemarahan akan terakumulasi dan berpotensi merusak hubungan.

David Wexler, Ph.D., penulis 'When Good Men Behave Badly', mengatakan bahwa salah satu bentuk pengelolaan amarah yang buruk adalah mengabaikan pertengkaran. Banyak pasangan yang membiarkan masalah menguap dengan sendirinya tanpa pembahasan tuntas.

Dalam kehidupan asmara sejumlah pasangan, yang paling jamak adalah mengakhiri konflik dengan tidur. "Banyak pasangan yang memilih tidur dalam kondisi marah," kata Wexler, seperti dikutip parenting.com.

Mereka tak sadar bahwa membiarkan pertengkaran tanpa penyelesaian semacam itu justru akan memperburuk hubungan. Mereka membiarkan pertengkaran menyala sepanjang malam sehingga membuat masalah tidak akan pernah selesai. Dan, ini akan meninggalkan luka bagi pasangan.

"Tidur dalam kondisi marah tidak baik dalam hubungan, dan akan memicu perasaan tak nyaman pagi harinya, dan tanpa Anda sadari masalah atau amarah justru akan terakumulasi yang bisa meledak suatu waktu," ujarnya.

Meski demikian, Wexter tak menampik bahwa ada sejumlah pasangan yang memang memilih tidur sebagai "jeda" untuk menyelesaikan masalah. Tidak masalah memang. Hanya, sedikit pasangan yang konsisten membahas dan menyelesaikan lagi masalahnya ketika bangun. Ini yang bahaya.

Kebiasaan meninggal pasangan tidur saat masih berkonflik hanya akan membiarkan kemarahan terakumulasi dan menghancurkan hubungan di kemudian hari. Ini jika tak dibarengi dengan komitmen menuntaskan masalah secepatnya Cara Mudah Menyelesaikan Masalah.

Keunikan Saudara Kembar

Keunikan Saudara Kembar Punya anak satu saja rasanya bahagia sekali, apalagi memiliki anak kembar dengan berbagai keunikannya tersendiri. Simak saja kisah sejumlah selebritas kembar seperti putra Firda Krussler, Nakula dan Sadewa, juga Kak Seto.

Nakula dan Sadewa adalah anak-anak yang manis. Masing-masing memiliki karakter dan kelebihan yang berbeda. Sadewa lebih pandai di bidang matematika. Nakula lebih jago di bidang hapalan. Nakula lebih bijaksana dan matang dalam mengambil keputusan. Sedangkan Sadewa lebih agresif, tapi pandai bersosialisasi.

Walau pernah tumbuh bersama di satu rahim, mereka adalah pribadi yang berbeda, sehingga butuh penanganan berbeda. Misalnya, terhadap Nakula, harus berbicara sabar dan lemah lembut, sementara pada Sadewa harus sedikit tegas. Kesenangan mereka pun tak melulu sama. Justru dengan perbedaan karakter itulah, mereka bisa saling mengisi.

Kak Seto yang memiliki saudara kembar non-identik mengatakan, berbahaya jika orangtua memerlakukan anak kembar dengan cara yang sama. Karena mereka sesungguhnya adalah dua individu yang berbeda.

"Menurut penelitian, jika dua anak, terutama anak kembar, diperlakukan sama terus menerus, maka akan menganggap diri mereka sebagai satu individu yang sama," ujar Kak Seto.

Jika mereka merasa sebagai satu individu, maka akan sulit dipisahkan di kemudian hari. Jika dalam kondisi tertentu mereka harus berpisah, karena misalnya beda pekerjaan atau sudah berumah tangga, maka pribadi kembar ini akan kesulitan beradaptasi, tertekan, dan bisa stres karena merasa kehilangan belahan jiwanya.

Dalam Kongres ISFT atau International Society For Twin, para ahli yang meneliti mengenai anak kembar juga mengemukakan bahaya memperlakukan pribadi kembar sebagai satu individu. Karenanya, jangan memperlakukan mereka sama dan jangan mendiskriminasi atau pilih kasih di antara si kembar.

Walau terlahir kembar, mereka berhak untuk mengalami pengalaman hidup yang berbeda.

Tips Membeli Rumah Second

Written By Unknown on Rabu, 07 Maret 2012 | 05.20

Tips Membeli Rumah Second  Selain masalah legalitas, hal yang harus Anda perhatikan dalam membeli rumah oper kredit atau rumah second adalah ada tunggakan tagihan telepon, air, listrik, pembayaran Pajak Bumi dan Bangunan, atau iuran kebersihan dari pemilik lama. Tagihan-tagihan ini juga perlu dibalik nama menjadi nama pemilik baru.

Setelah legalitas dan tagihan diperiksa dengan saksama serta penjual dan pembeli sudah mencapai kata sepakat soal harga, langkah selanjutnya adalah menghitung jumlah sisa kredit ke bank dan berapa yang harus dibayarkan kepada penjual rumah. Setelah perhitungan sisa kredit ke bank jelas, KPR akan dipindahkan ke pembeli rumah (Beli Rumah Oper Kredit? Pastikan Legalitasnya!).

Langkah selanjutnya adalah meminjam sertifikat asli dari bank, pembeli dan penjual bersama-sama datang ke notaris untuk membuat akta jual beli dan mengubah kepemilikan atas rumah tersebut. Ada juga kecenderungan pembeli rumah second memindahkan kredit rumahnya ke bank baru.

Cara seperti itu memberikan keuntungan, karena pembeli akan diperhitungkan sebagai debitor baru dan mendapatkan tingkat suku bunga tetap pada tahun-tahun awal. Biasanya, bank mengenakan tingkat suku bunga lebih tinggi untuk KPR rumah second, yaitu sekitar 1 persen di atas tingkat suku bunga KPR rumah baru.
