Zach Miller was always for the quick fix. The word 'moderation' was not in his vocabulary, and excess was the norm. Drinking, girls, drugs, fast cars. Nothing was done half-hearted; he pushed the limits in every part of his life. His friends knew this lifestyle would catch up with him. Nobody could have guessed about what hap... More..

Sports & Recreation > Golf The mental side of golf: Making the right decisions
1 of 21

Have you ever taken a few months off golfing, only to return and find that your swing has never been so pure and effortless? I think we all have. This is because we, as golfers, tend to get in our own way and let a barrage of 'swing tips' and 'swing thoughts' enter our mind when we play regularly. This is called 'paralysis by... More..

While many of these are outdated and should be abolished, a golfer should know as much as possible about good etiquette before they take their game to the course. Some of this is (or at least should be) basic common sense, but let's cover the bases anyway: Play 'Ready Golf' Do... More..

Modern day horror movies rely largely on gimmicks and gore rather than good cinematography and a good old fashioned plot.The 'Saw' series sums things up pretty well for this argument.
