"Hit 'till you're happy."
Not a bad way to start a round of golf. These were the instructions from our host as we stood on the first tee at The Golf Club. The Golf Club (ranked #48 in the world) is probably the highest ranked golf course in the United States that few people have ever heard of. Located in New Albany, Ohio, near Columbus, the course was designed by Pete Dye in 1967. It is a very early Pete Dye design and he used local Jack Nicklaus, then twenty-seven years old, to help him verify some of the potential shot selections as he was designing the course.
The course was the brainchild of Fred Jones, who wanted a course where he didn't have to wait for tee times. F. Scott Fitzgerald was right when he said that the very rich are different than you and me. I have to wait for tee times and accept it as part of the game. It must be nice to have enough money to build your own course when you don't want to wait. The Golf Club doesn't get a lot of play, thus the local custom is to hit until you're happy on the first tee. I have the feeling I'm going to like The Golf Club.
In his book Bury me in a Pot Bunker, Pete Dye says, "When I began sketching ideas for The Golf Club, images of two golf courses built in the 1920s came to mind. Along with the Scottish courses and Pinehurst No. 2, the design features at Seminole and Camargo influenced many of the characteristics prevalent at The Golf Club." I haven't played Camargo yet, but I really didn't see similarities to Pinehurst or Seminole, particularly regarding the greens, which are key aspects of both courses.
The third green with railroad ties in the background
There really isn't a bad hole on the course, but the stretch of holes from twelve through sixteen are the most brilliant. The 369 yard par four thirteenth is a world-class hole that doglegs to the left off the tee. Dye made extensive use of sawed off telephone poles in the bunker right of the green. As with many great short par fours, it is a classic risk-reward hole where the further to the left you hit the ball the more you will be rewarded, but it also brings the flowery hazard to the right, seen in the picture below, into play.
The par four thirteenth looking back from the green
The par five fourteenth is a big hole in all respects. It is 639 yards from the back tees, the fairway is big (100 yards wide) and uneven; the bunker on the right side of the hole is mammoth, and the green is challenging.
Sixteen is a challenging 200 yard par three that plays over a gorge to a relatively small, well-bunkered green. As the number sixteen stroke index hole, it's a doozy. After failing several times to finish the hole, Fred Jones installed a full size hangman's noose on the branch of the magnificent 270-year-old white oak that overhangs the green.
The hangman's noose high up in a tree by the 16th hole
Like Garden City Mens Club, Pine Valley and Augusta National, the Golf Club is an all-male club. I came away with a very favorable impression of The Golf Club, and I think that these lesser known courses by Pete Dye such as this and the Honors Course in Tennessee surpass his better known courses such as Whistling Straits or the TPC Stadium course. Also, I'm getting too old to be beaten up by a golf course. The Golf Club is challenging but is easily the type of course you can play every day and not tire of because it is a great walking course. The locker room at The Golf Club is in a similar style to that at Seminole and Ocean Forest, with lockers ringing the room and seating in the middle.
The bridge over Blacklick Creek on the sixth hole has an old railroad box car as a bridge. My picture shows what the bridge would look like if you had a half dozen beers before teeing off.
Box car bridge on the sixth hole
The club history states that The Golf Club, "...was not founded as a family recreation or amusement center. It was founded as a men's club without the need for starting times and with the excitement and turmoil which too frequently results from the crowds attracted to a multipurpose sports or recreation club." Translation: leave the women and children home.
If I had to give The Golf Club a grade, I would give it an "A". There is really nothing lacking and it is a great place to spend a day playing golf and hanging out in the locker room.

When Williston City Council President Marc Nussel announced last week the elimination of public comment at council meetings, we were, at first, alarmed. After all, this country is based on basic freedoms–like speech, assembly, religion and the press.
But then Nussel clarified, stating that residents can still speak on issues on the agenda, and if the need occurs, they can be placed on an upcoming agenda to have their concerns addressed.
We thought his decision was strictly to ensure that meetings are conducted in a business-like manner that utilizes civility to accomplish the work before the council.
However, in the past week through other media and social network sites, we read that Nussel squelched the comments because candidates for city council are, "abusing their privileges."
Seems the president feels that the candidates were using the comment period to campaign.
So which is it, Mr. President? Was your decision to deny the people the RIGHT to speak solely for conducting smoother meetings, or was it to inhibit candidates against two incumbents to seek answers in a public setting?
Is it fair to allow those incumbents the chance to grandstand on topics the people are interested in while quashing any rebuttal from their opponents?
In all fairness, candidate Jerry Robinson has remained fairly quiet during meetings while candidate Norm Fugate asked two questions during a council meeting.
Does that really necessitate disallowing the public at large to weigh in on matters that concern them?
We implore the city council to overturn the president's decision to eliminate public comment at its meetings and at the same time re-issue the challenge to the president to stand firm as the man who restores, and keeps, order in the meetings.
The power to run a smooth meeting is in his hands. He needs to exercise it.

CHARLOTTE � The Carolina Panthers failed to reach their goals at the goal line.
They struggled to finish drives in the red zone in Sunday�s 23-10 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
�That�s what�s so disheartening about it, not scoring in the red zone,� quarterback Cam Newton said. �Especially so close on the 1-yard line. I put a lot of pressure on myself to perform in situations.�
Twice the Panthers reached the San Francisco 1-yard line and were turned away in the first half.
Facing fourth down on the first play of the second quarter, Newton�s sneak was unsuccessful.
Indirectly, the Panthers later came up with points off that sequence, but the tone might have been set nonetheless.
�It was a big situation,� San Francisco linebacker Ahmad Brooks said. �It let them know we came ready to play.�
Still, the Panthers forced the 49ers to punt and Ted Ginn Jr.�s big return set up a touchdown one play later, so Carolina wasn�t empty-handed on that exchange.
�I wish we could have scored the touchdown (the first time) obviously, but it kind of fell into place,� Panthers coach Ron Rivera said.
Later in the first half, the Panthers arrived at the doorstep of the end zone again.
The ball was inside the 1 after Brooks was offsides , but Panthers fullback Mike Tolbert lost a yard on a third-down play up the middle.
Newton had lobbied for a quarterback sneak, but the play call came in different from that.
�It�s based on what they are doing and what we see,� Rivera said. �I thought the decision was a good decision. Mike Tolbert has done a lot of good things for us and gotten that for us in the past.�
The Panthers made three trips into San Francisco territory in the second, but each time those possessions went for naught.
Newton was sacked on back-to-back plays in the third quarter, pushing the Panthers out of field-goal range. So an eight-minute possession concluded with a punt.
Newton was intercepted by Donte Whitner with 4:22 to play in the game after Carolina reached the San Francisco 28. Then the game�s final snap was taken by the Panthers at the 49ers 7.
By then, the Panthers had outgained San Francisco 325-315.
�Two drives that get inside the 1-foot line and one drive inside the 30 there in the second half and got a grand total of three points out of that,� Carolina tight end Greg Olsen said. �You�re not going to be very successful with that recipe offensively. We just couldn�t punch it in when we had to. It came back to really pretty much decide the game.�

Efi Jetrion 4900 Ups the Resolution and Adds More Versatility
Following the high demand for its Jetrion 4900, Efi has incorporated a new 720dpi mode to increase the print resolution for labels, along with broadening its portfolio of flexo substrates that need no special coating or overlaminating.
The increased print quality utilises new firing modes to drive the single-pass printheads, resulting in enhanced reproduction of text and image details. As part of Efi's long-standing philosophy to bring as many new innovations as possible to existing customers, this 720 dpi mode is available for new and existing 4900 customers. Efi has also added to its expanding portfolio of industry-leading substrates, and the Jetrion 4830 and 4900 are now compatible with several additional stocks from 3M, Avery Dennison, Flexcon, Raflatac, Ritrama, Spinnaker and Wausau. Label converters will benefit from the increased selections, as well as the economic benefits of low cost of printing UV ink direct-to-substrate.
"Since its introduction, the Efi Jetrion 4900 has proven to be so successful that we have healthy demand from users around the world wanting to benefit from the surge in variable label content and shorter, more flexible runs," explained Sean Skelly, vice president and general manager of Efi Jetrion. "Offering a higher output resolution option and adding more printable stocks to the machine's capabilities are certain to appeal to all present and future users who want to expand the use of digital printing and benefit from high quality results with the convenience of a fully digital workflow."
Repacorp, Inc. recently purchased a third Jetrion press to keep up with customer requests. Tony Heinl, vice president, comments, "Efi continues to innovate its Jetrion line of products, which opens up opportunities for us to use our Jetrion digital label presses on new applications while continuing to exceed customer expectations."
Efi also recently disclosed a record 93 percent boost in ink volume for the Jetrion segment alone in Q1 2012, compared with the same quarter last year, showing the strong growth in 4900 customers' digital business. The Efi Jetrion 4900 offers fully integrated narrow-web printing and finishing to simplify short- and medium-run digitally produced label jobs across a wide range of standard and speciality stocks Launched in September 2011, it has quickly proved itself with many users experiencing cost savings of more than $1,000 a day and easy migration of flexo applications. Advanced features include high powered dual lasers for die-cutting, slitting and back-scoring, and CMYK plus highly opaque white UV-curable inks offer durable output which is resistant to heat, cold and chemicals.

Not a fan of the color or the pants. But I do love the Hermes belt. It is extremely popular in NYC right now especially among the European expatriates.
I like how the shape of his tie compliments that of his face.
With possible exception of the belt, I hate everything from the waist down.
I fancy his tie.
I am inexplicably happy because there is the perfect amount of space between the end of his tie and his belt buckle…
The pants are the perfect length, and add that beautiful shot of shocking color- but I agree with butch, "somewhat droopy"- they need to be better fitted.
electric pants are for scenesters.. somehow seem out of place on the older generation, despite the hermes belt.
Hi's Mr. H!
Sart, what do you think about those ties?
I know some people that use to wear it like I use to wear my all stars shoes: all the time I could do it, and no matter the rest of the clothes you wear, they fit perfect and you feel ready to do what you want…
Of course, I love the pants (funny enough you find women's skinny jeans following a similar trend), but the outfit does look somewhat dumpy. The fit of the jacket, the pants…everything, really, just seems quite off.
I'll take your word for it that these pants are not jeans, Sart, although in the photo they bear more than a passing resemblance to the type of loosely cut jeans that are sold in Walmart and similar stores. I must admit, I really don't care for the choice of pants, since he has everywhere else adopted a refined, tailored silhouette. A slimmer pant in the same shade might work wonders to liven up such an outfit, however.
By the look of the guy, his feelings won't be hurt when I agree with the other posters: the pants aren't great and they don't fit with the strength and smartness of the jacket, shirt, tie and belt…
I really don't like his outfit… hmm… the pants ruin everything
Surprised this guy isnt getting more props? This is a really cool laidback look IMO, the tie and belt are spot on, the shades, the "pants", jacket, stubble! all great.
One of the best male shots on here for a while i think!
Altogether, sing along now…..
Joe Cool is back at school :-)
Maybe something got lost in translation from camera lens to computer screen. I'll take your word that it must have looked better in person. At first I thought he was wearing blue jeans, but then read your caption. Maybe with a better pant fit (and less weathered fabric on the fly?) I might be more convinced. He has a bit of a Jack Nicholson flair to him, but the thought of Jack Nicholson wearing a blazer and baggy blue jeans kinds of kills it…
…and let's not forget the quintessential Persol Sunglasses which are a modern update to their most classic design. Great, durable, sunglasses…well worth the price.
ha ha I bought the same pants, they are quite electric blue and well cut. I wanted a change from kakhis for casual days and weekends: In Madrid summer lasts for 5 months… I also bought them in very light green (prada store colour). Both of them are impossible to combine! I always pair them up with white shirts, very tough to avoid colour overload otherwise. Your suggestions are very welcome. And another question: imagine these pants and a polo (lacoste, fred perry, etc.). Tucked in or not?
the pants should be more fitted, but everything else looks beautiful, the hermes belt makes him look as i like to say "beau fashionista"…
italiobt! excuse my ignorance, please school me on the glasses. i fancy a pair of these, do you know which model they are? thanks
oh and to anon about the polos, Definitely NOT tucked in IMO
That picture would have greatly benefited from a flash.

Uniformed police officers will be at Hudson High School Today, and staff will be on "high alert" in response to rumors of a "safety threat," according to a message from the school's principal, Brian Wilch.
"With the extra security measures in place, I want to assure all parents that students will be safe," Wilch said. "That includes my own two sons here at the high school; as a parent and as their principal, I am totally committed to student safety, as is our entire staff. We will be in a state of high alert."
Wilch reported school administrators, through the district's Safe Schools Helpline, have heard rumors that something violent may occur Today. The rumor is specific to holiday assemblies planned at the high school for Today, but the district does not have specific names or other details.
Officials at other high schools have similar concerns, Wilch said, as Today is the last day of the Mayan Calendar and has prompted rumors.
"I want to assure both students and staff that we take all threats seriously; and as a result, we will have uniformed police officers in the building tomorrow, as well as central office administrators to help supervise and maintain a safe environment," Wilch reported. "We even have recruiters visiting from the United States Marine Corps, the United States Navy and the United States Army."
Wilch encouraged parents and students to report anything suspicious to a teacher, guidance counselor or administrator. He also encouraged students who are uneasy or anxious to talk with guidance counselors, trusted teachers or administrators.
He said students could opt out of attending the holiday assemblies.

Needs to be looked at. * suexec doesn't understand argv parameters; e.g. <!--#exec cmd="./ls -l" --> fails even when "ls" is in the same directory because suexec is trying to stat a file called "ls -l". A patch for this is available at http://www.xnet.com/~emarshal/suexec.diff and it's not bad except that it doesn't handle programs with spaces in the filename (think win32, or samba-mounted filesystems). There are several PR's to this and I don't see for security reasons why we can't accomodate it, though it does add complexity to suexec.c. Accepting quoted executable names solves that issue, except that the exec cmd="" parsing needs to accept escaped quotes. PR #1120 Brian: +1 Status: Already resolved in Apache 2.0 - exec is defined as passing the cmd="" argument as argv[0], which means it is -only- the file name to execute (with spaces allowed in the name.) Win32/Netware specific issues: * mod_rewrite's cache isn't threadsafe, needs a mutex on Win32/Netware (and OS/2?) * apparently either "BrowserMatch" or the "nokeepalive" variable cause instability - see PR#1729.

Mexico's civil aviation authority, the Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil (DGAC), has awarded a type certificate to Sikorsky's S-76D helicopter. This follows the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)'s award for the model in October 2012.
Sikorsky expects to make its first customer deliveries of the S-76D later this year. In March at Heli-Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada, Mexican helicopter service provider ASESA (Aeroservicios Especializados, S.A. de C.V.) confirmed an order six S-76D helicopters from Sikorsky to work in the offshore oil sector. This contract represented the first sale of an S-76D into Mexico. AESA will receive its first S-76D by the year's end with the remaining five being delivered in 2014. AESA started leasing S-76++ helicopters in 2011.

Humberto Lobo, president of ASESA stated that the purchase would help to position the Mexican Aeronautical Industry "as a strategic provider of products and services." In late October 2012 the Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank) authorized more than $50 million to guarantee a loan to ASESA so that it could finance the purchase.
According to the manufacturer, there are now at least 29 Sikorsky helicopters operating in Mexico, rising from six helicopters only five years ago.
Robert Kokorda, vice president of sales and marketing for Sikorsky, said that "with PEMEX's [Petróleos Mexicanos] increasing exploration efforts in the Gulf, we expect more and more S-76D's to be fielded there in the coming years." Other customers for the new S-76D include the Milestone Aviation Group, China's Ministry of Transport's Rescue and Salvage Bureau, Japan Coast Guard, Arkansas Children's Hospital, and Bristow Group.

JOHN ROZENTALS experience the Ipswich district in two very different, but equally delightful, ways.
"That's it," declares the Woman with Altitude, as Pterodactyl's Captain Mike Jervis lands his chopper six inches or so off centre. "You're down to three stars on Trip Advisor."
They both know she's joking but it's a game they've been playing for a couple of hours — even since Mike declared his unnecessary paranoia about getting a rating of less than five stars on the influential travel website.
They also both know that, if push came to shove, she'd rate his performance — and the company's — a rating of less than five stars.
Mike has been with us for much of the day, showing us the stunning country around the Queensland city of Ipswich, including taking us on an aerial pub crawl, hugging the Brisbane River on a low-level, adrenalin-pumping flypast, and generally providing us with a fitting final adventure together — there are some things, as I find out a few days later, which just can't be unsaid.
Yes, Mike has been an admirable host indeed, from the moment he picked us up from the lawn at Spicers Hidden Vale, a legendary resort where we had spent the night before, and provided the Woman with Altitude with the opportunity to use a line I'm sure she'd been saving up for years.
"Can you tell me how much longer breakfast will be?" she'd asked the waiter. "We're being picked up by a chopper at 9.30."
Pterodactyl Helicopters (www.pterodactylhelicopters.com.au) provides a range of options for travellers intent on seeing the area by air, ranging from winery tours to pub crawls to lunches on out-of-the-way locations to short scenic flights.
And the prices aren't exorbitant, starting at about $130 for a short scenic flight over nearby Lake Manchester.
It wasn't our first chance to see the area from above.
That had been provided the morning before by Floating Images (www.floatingimages.com.au), which operates hot-air-balloon expeditions in the Greater Brisbane area and whose pilot Graeme Day had prompted us to wake by 4.30am for a designated pick-up at the Metro Ipswich International.
It's quite a charming and peaceful way to travel. You tend to forget that you're being carried by the breeze and hence that there's almost no sense of movement.
Indeed, if it wasn't for the periodic burst of the burners there's be complete silence for the duration.
It does represent a return to another era, one in which travel was much more weather-dependent than it generally is now, though it's obviously comforting to know that the craft — and the dozen or so on-board guests — are all in well trained and practised hands.
The precise take-off and landing points can never be pre-determined. They're determined on a daily basis depending on what the breezes hold and, indeed, the whole flight is subject to postponement.
What is certain, if the flight goes ahead, is that guests will participate in both the take-off and putting-away procedure — and have a hearty bubbly-charged breakfast afterwards, complete with certificate presentation.

Panetta: Cybersecurity action needed
While Joe Biden and Paul Ryan were duking it out Thursday night over U.S. troops in Iraq, Afghanistan and beyond, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta was warning of another war — in cyberspace.
In a speech in New York City buried by the vice presidential debate in Kentucky, Panetta warned that America's enemies are taking aim at the systems that run everything, from the electrical grid to transportation systems to the nation's financial infrastructure, and he said that although the U.S. military is trying to get ready for a worst-case scenario, the rest of the government and the private sector must get moving now.
Story Continued Below
So what would a cyberwar look like? It might make some of today's biggest cyber-mischief look quaint: Imagine waking up one morning to find that no one on the East Coast could make a cellphone call or that America's major financial markets had seized up and were unable to conduct trades.
Or it could look completely different.
Cyber-expert Jason Healey, currently of the Atlantic Council and a former Air Force officer, cautions against thinking of cyberwar too narrowly or of relying too much on the "Pearl Harbor" metaphor that Panetta invoked on Thursday night — a surprise attack that causes damage but winds up relatively quickly and then life gets back to normal.
What about a cyber-Vietnam — a years-long guerilla campaign in which, for example, major blackouts around the country became routine as attackers struck major power grids. Or even a cyber-Battle of Britain in which much of the U.S. is paralyzed and the government is forced to impress private citizens or businesses in its defense against a virtual onslaught with real-world implications.
"We've been talking about 'cyber Pearl Harbors' for 20 of the 70 years since the actual Pearl Harbor — the first reference to this was in 1991, in front of Congress," Healey said. "'What if this could happen, this other bad thing could happen, oh my God, think about what life would be like if something like this happened.'" But policymakers, lawmakers and business leaders need to get past alarm and think very clearly about what problem they actually want to solve, he said.
Is this is a technical challenge that calls for better "doo-dads," as Healey called them, or is it a law enforcement problem, or is it an espionage problem? Is it about "combat," or is it about protecting users' data, or is it about protecting companies' intellectual property? All are valid perspectives, he said, but much of today's cyber-discussion takes place between people coming from different angles, and as such, they're "talking past each other."
Healey said a general goal that cuts across almost all the patchwork of cyber-challenges is this precept: Defense must be better than offense. But it's not as simple as more firewalls and better passwords, especially now that cyberattacks have gone from basement-dwellers' online vandalism to viruses like "Shamoon," which, as Panetta described Thursday night, destroyed 30,000 computers of Saudi Arabia's state oil company.
Or in the words of U.S. Cyber Command boss Gen. Keith Alexander, attacks are beginning to "morph from disruptive to destructive"
"If your defense is only to try to block attacks, you'll never be successful," Alexander told the U.S. Chamber of Commerce at an event earlier this month, noting that "at times, the government has to look at what do you to stop an attack."
But the National Security Agency director's larger argument was that government still needs to have a "discussion" on the rules of engagement in cyberspace. The challenge — one cited Thursday by a frustrated Panetta — is that although there's plenty of "discussion" in Congress these days, there is not a lot of action.
