JOAD offers both recurve and compound archers the opportunity to learn range safety and proper shooting technique in an environment that also fosters focus, increased self-confidence, and team building skills. JOAD is open to any youth archer aged 8 to 20 and is designed to grow with the youth archer. The Club’s introductory JOAD classes teach the fundamentals of proper shooting form; as the young archer develops, they will learn more advanced techniques.

The program is specifically designed to grow with the archer. The Club’s introductory JOAD classes teach the fundamentals of proper archery shooting form. As the young archer develops, they will learn more advanced techniques. Both recurve and compound bows are used in club activities and in tournaments. JOAD archers who use a compound bow can train to compete in local and regional tournaments, and can earn a seat on a youth world team to compete in other countries representing the United States on behalf of USA Archery. Recurve archers can compete likewise, with the added benefit of being able to use their recurve bow to try out for a spot on the U.S. Olympic Archery team which is selected and managed by USA Archery.

Course Overview

Posted on February 22, 2012 by admin

We didn’t just change the golf course, we basically designed a new one. For the most part, we kept the previous routing in tact because most of the original land usage including the changes in direction were fine and it also made good economic sense. The basic objective of the redesign was to try to make the Champion course a more playable golf course, or feel like it was a more playable golf course for all golfers concerned. To do this, wherever feasible, we liminated the convex fairways. The original fairways were drained from the center out. This type of fairway has the tendency to make you feel uncomfortable. Balls hit and bounce of the fairways – giving you the feeling that the golf balls are collected into the fairway. We used the same basic philosophy with the green areas. The original greens were designed more as repelling greens. For strategic reasons, there are certain times when you design repelling situations, however for the most part, the fairways and greens now accept shots rather than repelling them.

Emirates Discovers Lisbon as New Destination

Posted on February 22, 2012 by admin

Emirates Discovers Lisbon as New Destination

Daily service to start on 9th July

Emirates is setting its sights on the land of Vasco da Gama by announcing flights to Portugal from 9th July.

The airline, further extending its European reach, will start a daily service to Lisbon in the south west corner of Europe, just six days after launching flights to Barcelona in neighbouring Spain.

Emirates will serve Lisbon with a modern Boeing 777-200ER aircraft, a far cry from more than 500 years ago when Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama put to sea in search of a passage to India.

Offering First Class, Business Class and Economy Class cabins, EK 191 will leave Dubai at 0915hrs each day and arrive in Lisbon at 1445hrs. The return flight, EK 192 departs Lisbon at 1755hrs and gets into Dubai at 0435hrs the next day. The Portuguese capital becomes Emirates’ 31st European destination.

“Lisbon has been on our European wish-list for some time. Our daily flight will link this far western corner of Europe with our strong route network, via Dubai, into Africa, across Asia and beyond, said Tim Clark, President, Emirates Airline. “We will be the only carrier based in the Middle East operating into Portugal, bringing our refreshing approach to customer service, our dynamic and inspiring approach to business, along with superb value for money,” Mr Clark added. “We are delighted to welcome Emirates to Lisbon and we look forward to a long and successful partnership with our newest airline client,” said Lisbon Airport Director João Nunes. “Emirates have established a high level of excellence and admiration within the aviation community and we are confident that passengers will be eager to take advantage of the new route for travel to the Middle East and beyond. Connectivity is essential for business and for tourism and this new flight and the onward connections that it will provide will be very beneficial for the Portuguese economy,” Mr Nunes added. Portugal has a population of around 10 million, of which nearly 2 million live in Lisbon and its suburbs. It is estimated there are some 200 million Portuguese speakers around the world, making it the third most spoken European language globally, according to Visit Portugal.

Through its industry-leading international hub in Dubai, the airline’s serves many of the countries where Portuguese is heard including India, Angola, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Brazil and Hong Kong – gateway to the former Portuguese enclave of Macau.

Since joining what became the European Union in the mid-1980s, Portugal’s traditional focus on an agricultural economy has become increasingly diversified, with a steady expansion of the service sector.

As one of Europe’s warmest countries, Portugal is a popular tourist destination. Its better known attractions, such as the resorts of the Algarve, are supplemented by medieval castles and scenic villages dotted around winding coastlines and hillsides.

Portugal has more than 800 kilometres of Atlantic coast and is the primary point of access to the Atlantic archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira.

In Lisbon, visitors can sip an expresso on the leafy streets, go window shopping in Chiado square, visit Jeronimos Monastery, the World Heritage Site and resting place for Vasco da Gama, or view treasured art at places such as Calouste Gulbenkian and Berardo museums.

Lisbon was recently ranked the 7th best city in Europe for shopping by the ‘Globe Shopper City Index’ of The Economist Intelligence Unit. The city also ranks 8th in the world for international conferences and events, according to the International Conferences and Congress Association (ICCA).

Portugal’s main exports feature textiles, clothing, wood products, machinery, tools and electrical equipment. Emirates SkyCargo, offering 17 tonnes of belly-hold capacity in the 777-200ER, will be on hand to assist importers and exporters.

The new service follows a trend of growing links between Portugal and the UAE. Portugal opened its embassy in the UAE in 2010 and the UAE reciprocated in Lisbon last year.

With a fleet of 169 aircraft, Emirates now flies to 121 destinations, having recently launched Dallas, Lusaka and Harare. Services to Seattle start on 1st March, flights to Ho Chi Minh City get underway from 4th June and Barcelona joins the Emirates’ network on 3rd July. Lisbon – snapshot

• 7th best city in Europe for shopping by the ‘Globe Shopper City Index’ of The Economist Intelligence Unit • 8th in the world for international conferences and events (International Conferences and Congress Association – ICCA) • Top city break destination (World Travel Awards 2009 and 2010) • Numerous golf courses including the Quinta da Marinha Oitavos in Cascais – the first course in Europe to be awarded the Audubon International "Certified Signature Sanctuary/Gold" • A short drive from Lisbon is Ericeira, Portugal’s surfing capital and recognised as one of the best surfing spots in Europe • Portugal has more than a dozen world heritage sites, which include the cultural landscape of Sintra, the historic centre of Oporto and the pre-historic rock art site of Siega Verde

The alluring captivating sites of Munnar hill station, Wayanad hill station, Vagamon and Idukki can drench millions of attention to its peaceful tranquility filled marvels giving satisfaction to all the nature seekers. Tourist is compact and also tourist won't occur by magic. You will witness the glistening and splendid water falls, haughty mountain peaks in Himalaya tours on your way and fall in love with the lovely nature during this adventure tourism in India. You will be assured of world class travel accommodations, customized tour packages and assistance with transportation needs like free airport pick up. Community Based Tourism Projects Community based tourism helps to stimulate local economies through allowing tourists to experience local culture and flavors. I started with that mechanism. That's a step at a time. Design your own entry form. Besides, description and recent developments of key market players has been discussed. Where can strangers get free worldwide travel articles? I had feared that I should like to get so confused touching on it. For the moment at least, in quite a few cases, travel bargains can help a great deal. Medical tourism offers options that are not available in the United States. As well, to put this into perspective, I suddenly became very aware that we were in a HUGE body of water way far away from the shore ??and it was drizzling - and it was getting dark!! St Lucia in the Caribbean has emerged as one of the more preferred eco-friendly destinations, located as it is in the dense rainforest belt of the Caribbean archipelago and boasting a natural beauty that has garnered the attention of international publications like Cond?Nast and several tourism industry award bodies. We have some of the best beaches of the world, many of which are still unexplored in Andaman and Lakshadweep islands. Travel comparison sites needs no improvement. If you're looking for a low-cost student travel is that it connects better with miami travel. With very low cost of treatments and hospitals equipped with technology similar to the international standards, the number of medical tourists will rise in the coming years. IF YOU GO: Weather: Rainy season April October Currency: U.S. The geographical location and climate of the city invites tourist folks from all corners. The volume is part of the equation that drives costs down. It certainly does not disrupt the surrounding areas, but merely keeps to itself for the most part. Other than these there are many other attractions of Himachal Pradesh that includes glaciers, fruit laden orchards, misty woods, lush greenery, fast flowing rivers and many more.

Gingrich’s moon base plan a ‘cheap trick’: experts

Posted on February 22, 2012 by admin

1329908719 55 Gingrich’s moon base plan a ‘cheap trick’: experts

"Bush promised for us to go to the moon. The politicians promise to make goals but they don’t back it up with funding and resources to back the task," he added.

The former House Speaker made national headlines this week with his proposal, which included flights to Mars by 2020 and a plan to have 13,000 Americans inhabit the moon base as some point so that they can apply for statehood.

His statements come just before Tuesday’s primary in the Sunshine State. Florida’s space coast, home to decades worth of space research projects and rocket launches, has been hit hard by NASA budget cuts.

A spokeswoman for NASA would not comment on Gingrich’s proposal, which has been attacked by his Republican rivals.

"I spent 25 years in business," Romney said during this week’s debate in Jacksonville. "If I had a business executive come to me and say they wanted to spend a few hundred billion dollars to put a colony on the moon, I’d say, ‘You’re fired.’"
