What's a "links"?

re: Bandon Dunes Golf Resort

A links is the oldest style of golf course, first developed in Britain. The word "links" comes via the Scots language from the Old English word hlinc : "rising ground, ridge" and refers most often to an area of coastal sand dunes.

Bandon Dunes Golf Resort is a complex of four links and a par-3 golf course, located just north of the city of Bandon, Oregon.

Bandon Dunes was the first course at the resort, which opened in 1999. It was followed by the addition of Pacific Dunes, Bandon Trails and Old Macdonald. The fifth course, Bandon Preserve, is a par-3 short course with 13 holes. Punchbowl is the most recent addition in 2014, featuring a large putting course.

In 2009, Golf Magazine named Pacific Dunes #2 in it's list of the 50 best courses built in the last 50 years. Bandon Dunes was ranked #12 and Bandon Trails notched in at #33.

The nearest airport to Bandon Dunes Golf Resort is Bandon State Airport (KS05/S05) in Bandon, Oregon--about a 15 minute transfer to the resort. Small turboprop and multi-engine or single piston-driven private charter airplanes can land there pending weather conditions, which change rapidly due to it's coastal location. The nearest airport that can support jet charter flights is Southwest Oregon Regional Airport (KOTH/OTH) in North Bend, OR.

Last Stop Brooklyn

This weekend I was in New York City for a photowalk with some colleagues at the Arcanum. It was a busy weekend with many stops at iconic locations in lower Manhattan, midtown and Brooklyn. On Saturday we estimated walking between fifteen to twenty miles. This was the last stop of the evening after crossing the Brooklyn Bridge in the afternoon. It was a fitting end to a day that began before sunrise at the opposite end of this same bridge.

Ferretti Yacht 650

Luxurious Magazine originally shared:

The Ferretti Yacht 650 immediately strikes the eye for its truly distinctive profile. Its outer silhouette is characterised by an aerodynamic flybridge and new fibreglass decorative elements that “cut” through the profile of the glazing in the superstructure. An unprecedented decoration connects the windows of the three cabins below deck (the master stateroom, the guest cabin, and the VIP cabin), which are extremely large so as to let through plenty of natural light into all guest areas. The pilot station dashboard has also been restyled, and can now boast a new sophisticated design.

The slender lines of the Ferretti Yachts 650 - which is 19.67 metres (64.6 feet) long and has a beam of 5.25 metres (17.3 feet) - are further enhanced by the yacht’s aft area, specifically designed to ensure easy and safe tender handling and increase the guests' onboard comfort. A lift has indeed been installed on the yacht, capable of fitting an over-3-metre-long inflatable boat and which can be lowered by a metre with respect to its original position, thereby allowing to handle the tender without any davit and ensure easy launching into the sea, also thanks to some steps built in the hull. This innovative solution ensures the utmost efficiency, user-friendliness and safety when launching and hauling the inflatable boat, besides converting the peak (which is davit-free) into a large aft storage compartment where water toys and other equipment can be conveniently stored.

As is the case on all models in the range, on this 65-footer too the Shipyard is proposing several different layouts both on the sundeck - which also comes in the hard-top version - and indoors. Ferretti has indeed designed a “TaiHe Ban by Ferretti” edition of the 650, targeted in particular at Far East owners.

Dining in a Tree in Thailand

Dining in a Tree in Thailand

Soneva Kiri – an outstanding Thai beach resort tucked away on the remote Koh Kood Island – has a dining spot for any occasion. If you feel adventurous though, try something a little different, like the Treepod Dining. The experience allows you to indulge in gourmet pleasures while sitting in a cozy bamboo pod perched six meters up in the air, above the lush mangroves. Your personal waiter delivers the food via zip line, so all you have to do is sit back and feast your eyes with brilliant views of the sea.

Places to visit in 2015: Costa Rica and Nicaragua
The rich biodiversity and incredible landscapes of Costa Rica combined with the colonial history of Nicaragua makes this the perfect trip combination for any travel enthusiast.

Explore the sparkling, emerald waters around Cocos Island (the setting for Jurassic Park) by getting on board a submarine accompanied by scientific researchers. They’ll be sure to answer everything you’ve ever wanted to know about coral reefs and marine life. Afterwards explore the island with one of the resident Park Rangers and hear tales of hidden pirate treasure. After taking in the breathtaking beauty of Costa Rica’s rich forests and wild beaches, immerse yourself in culture by heading to neighbouring Nicaragua. Stroll around the streets of Granada with a survivor from the Nicaraguan Civil War and learn details of the secret CIA funding for the Contras (rebel groups) in exchange for hundreds of tons of drugs.

For those still in need of an adrenaline rush, take a private helicopter flight accompanied by an expert volcanologist to the crater of the active Volcano Concepción, for an exhilarating education in nature.

When: April and May is the perfect time for a last minute trip as the weather is hot and sunny.

Where to stay in Costa Rica: El Silencio Lodge in the cooling climate of the cloud forest.

Where to stay in Nicaragua: Mukul Resort on Nicaragua’s coastline

The Cessna Citation X+ and Sovereign+...
The Citation Sovereign+, certified in the United States in December 2013, and the Citation X+, certified in June 2014, are larger members of the world’s most popular line of business jets, the Cessna Citation family. Both aircraft boast large stand up cabins, advanced cockpit systems designed to meet global, 21st century airspace management requirements, and Cessna proprietary passenger cabin electronics that offer unrivaled productivity and communication.

The new Citation X+ has seating for up to 12 passengers, a maximum operating altitude of 51,000 feet (15,545 meters), an unmatched maximum speed of Mach 0.935, and an increased range of 3,408 nautical miles. The range of the Citation X+ gives operators the ability for direct flights from Beijing to New Delhi, Singapore to Tokyo, Shanghai to Darwin, or Hong Kong to Dubai.

Also featuring a large cabin for up to 12 people, the Citation Sovereign+ has a range of 3,188 nautical miles (5,904 km), a top speed of 460 knots (852 kilometers/hour) and a direct climb to 45,000 feet (13,716 meters).

Both cabins feature Cessna’s ClairityTM cabin management system that offers passengers control of cabin lighting, window shades, temperature, and audio and video entertainment (digital media, MP3/iPhone, Blu-Ray). The interior of each aircraft can be configured in a wide array of seating layouts, color choices and entertainment options that can include international Wifi connectivity.

The most distinct outward difference of both the Citation X+ and Sovereign+ over past Citation models is the addition of winglets, allowing each aircraft to cruise efficiently at higher altitudes and to consume less fuel, as well as improving takeoff and landing performance at higher elevations or on hot days.
