Moody snaps No. 1 Calallen's 63-game district winning streak
Trojans a half-game behind Wildcats in District 31-4A
CORPUS CHRISTI - First, Moody High School played small ball on a blustery Saturday at Cabaniss Field. Then the Trojans went long ball.
The result sent Calallen's 63-game district baseball winning streak blowing away in the gusty breeze.
Victor Rodela's grand slam capped a six-run second inning that included three bunts, two for hits, and the Trojans snapped a couple of streaks in defeating the top-ranked Wildcats — both in the state and in the country by MaxPreps — 9-3 in District 31-4A play. Calallen hadn't lost a district game since a 2007 defeat to Alice.
The Trojans hadn't scored a run off Calallen pitching the four previous meetings. That all ended in the 10-batter second when Moody (17-3, 8-1 in district) erased the Wildcats' 1-0 edge with the crooked number in the second and halted Calallen's district win streak.
"It took us 29 innings to finally do what we did," said Rodela, who also earned his fifth pitching win in as many decisions.
With a runner on second after a sacrifice, J.D. Lozano reached on a flare single and J.D. Garcia bunted for a base hit to drive in Ricky Gonzalez. Adam Esquivel reached on another bunt single to load the bases before an error brought home Moody's second run.
An out later, Rodela pounced on a hanging, 1-0 slider from Calallen starter Desi Castillo (5-1) and launched it into the left-center field bleachers. It was Rodela's fifth home run of the season and the biggest blow in Moody's 12-hit attack.
Castillo was pulled in the third inning in favor of Armando Arevalo, who finished off the game for the Wildcats.
"It was a big game. As competitors for both sides, Calallen and ourselves, it's just a great game today," Moody interim head coach Joe Curiel said. "We came out with a game plan and we stuck to it. Our kids did a great job today. The game plan was putting the ball in play and making things happen."
Those six runs were plenty for Rodela, who labored through 112 pitches, striking out six and hitting four batters, but walking only two.
"At first it was kind of shaky. But with the lead we had I was able to trust my defense and just throw," Rodela said of his pitching performance.
Rodela kept the bats in check against an uncharacteristically flat Calallen ballclub that won the first district meeting between the teams 3-0 in March. The Wildcats collected seven hits — right fielder Tyler Neslony had four of them — but were only able to score on Lee May Gonzalez's RBI double in the second and twice in the third on an error and wild pitch.
Thus, the district winning streak, and lofty rankings that were a byproduct, go by the wayside for the Wildcats (25-1, 9-1). Not that the rankings or the win streak concerned longtime Calallen coach Steve Chapman.
"The winning streak or rankings, anything like that, nobody ever mentions that around here," Chapman said. "We don't really care about that. The bottom line is how our team is progressing. We took a step backwards today."
After the Wildcats pulled within 6-3 in the third, Moody rebuilt its five-run lead with two runs in the bottom of the third after two were out. An infield single, a walk, Cody Perez's RBI single and a throwing error on a pickoff throw gave the Trojans an 8-3 lead. Moody added another run in the fourth on Tres Luna's RBI single but left the bases loaded.
The Trojans won their seventh consecutive game and fourth under Curiel since he took over for the suspended Corky Gallegos. For the Trojans, it has been business as usual, Curiel said.
"We're playing as if he's here. He's our leader. We're sticking to our guns. We practice every day, day in and day out and to strive and stack nickels, stack nickels," Curiel said.
"It hasn't been difficult. Our players are going to play. The tradition that Moody brings here, the players are going to play and they're going to give their all to whoever's going to be coaching," Curiel said. "We're here with our leader still. That's how we're playing."
For the Wildcats, a bit of soul-searching is now in order.
"I told them we didn't play good for one thing and the fact is we're going to find out what kind of character we have from here on out," Chapman said. "We've got a tough schedule coming up with the fact we play Flour Bluff on Tuesday, Tuloso-Midway on Friday, Carroll on Saturday and the following Saturday we play San Antonio Reagan. So we're going to find out really what kind of team we've got."

Thank you Ms. Melki! Beautiful article! the picture of the Assida makes me drewl, and the picture of our great Mosque gives me sense of reassurance that I belong to a great civilization. I also learned a couple of things from the article that I did not know before.
Happy holidays to all Tunisians!
Tunisians Celebrate Birth of Prophet Mohammed
By Wiem Melki | Feb 3 2012Arabic ,Holiday ,Islamic calendar ,Mawlid ,salafists ,
The prophet's birthday, known as Mawlid in colloquial Arabic, will be celebrated tomorrow, February 4. Mawlid is a national holiday in all Muslim countries excluding Saudi Arabia.
Mawlid falls in the month of Rabii Al-Awwal in the Islamic calendar. Since that the Islamic calendar follows the lunar cycle the date of the holiday changes annually in the Gregorian or Western calendar – which Tunisia officially follows. Last year the event was celebrated on February 15, 2011.
Public celebrations of the birth of Prophet Mohammed did not occur until several centuries after his death. The practice began in Egypt in the 11th century, and featured rituals that included animal sacrifices, torchlight processions, and public sermons. The tradition was later adopted in Syria, and gradually spread throughout a number of Muslim countries.
Celebrating the birth of the Prophet Mohammed has been a source of controversy for Muslim scholars and among ordinary Muslim citizens for centuries. The celebration of this holiday is typically forbidden among adherents of Wahhabism – a religious branch developed in the 18th century by Muslim theologist Muhammad Ibn Abd al-Wahhab.
Salafists, followers of a conservative interpretation of the Quran, also denounce the celebration of the holiday, as they consider it heretical.
"There is nothing in the Muslim Shariaa [the set of laws derived from Muslim holy texts] or in the Holy Quran that compels Muslims to celebrate the prophet Mohammed's birthday. This meal could be prepared at any time of the year," stated Yassine, a young Tunisian Salafist.
Families typically start preparing for this occasion a few days in advance, and markets are animated by Tunisians rushing to buy "Zigougou (Aleppo pine seeds) – a key ingredient in Assida, the holiday's signature dish.
Assida consists of two layers of differently flavored and colored creams – a black cream, prepared with the Aleppo pine seeds, and a white pastry cream, made with milk, eggs, sugar, and starch. The dish is often topped with a layer of dried fruits and candies.
On the night of the Prophet's birthday, relatives gather to enjoy each others' company. Neighbors greet each other and exchange bowls of assida as a sign of camaraderie and appreciation.
In spite of the social upheaval that Tunisian society has faced over the course of the past year, the festivities associated with this holiday will continue to serve as an ageless pillar of tradition in uncertain times.
ASalam Alikum
I am so happy that Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) birth day is celebrated, in my home Country Maldives it was celebrated and the Children in School were given information on the Holy Prophet but now its not their but in Islands other than the Capital its still practiced and i am proud to be one who practice
Mawlid Un Nabi Mubarak to Everyone =]
I second you Afif. The Assida makes me drawl. I still can not understand scholars choosing constantly to disaggree instead of the opposit. Why don't they just focus on agreeing and make people's lives easier. Is not that their job to help people with HIKMA and the right IJTIHAD.
The prophet himself used to celebrate his birthday every Monday of the week by fasting that day. Is not that why we fast Mondays? Why don't we celebrate it in the best we can and move on with our lives? It is really a SUNNA Hamida. Let people have fun with it. At least our kids will remember he was born on a monday and perhaps they will understand why some people fast every Monday not like some ignorant who think people fast because of some payback.
Anyway, nice to see that our Assida made it to the news. I will celebrate it till I die.
Sallam Souad!
I completely agree, I think its such a nice thing and it brings us as a people closer together and closer to Allah so I enjoy it!
But I did want to say that fasting on Mondays because it was the Prophets Birthday isnt the only reason why its Sunna to fast on that day. It is just one of the many reasons, but I biggest reason to fast on Mondays and Thursdays is because it is the days that the doors of Janna are opened and are deeds are presented to Allah.
Monday is also the day that the Prophet was sent down with the first revelation.
I am not saying your wrong because your right, but I just wanted to let you know about the other reasons why its good to fast on Mondays and Thursdays.
I hope you and everyone enjoyed the Mawlid
Amen. You are absolutely right. Thanks for the added info. I just wanted to say that if it were wrong to celebrate, Mohamed PBUH would have avoided Monday just because it coincided with his Birthday. Besides nothing is wrong with celebrating with remembrance of his good deeds and thanks to God for the blessings.
Mouled Moubarek ISL.
Good job Wiem

Ketsana leaves more than 360 dead across SE Asia
MANILA, Philippines A new typhoon gathered strength Thursday off the Philippines while nearly 700,000 people still sought help in badly stretched relief centers from massive flooding caused by Ketsana, one of the region's most destructive storms in years.
Ketsana prompted the worst flooding in the northern Philippines in 40 years when it struck Saturday, and then continued its deadly path across Southeast Asia, blowing down wooden villages in Cambodia and crushing Vietnamese houses under mudslides on Tuesday.
The death toll climbed Thursday to 362, and was still rising.
"We're used to storms that sweep away one or two houses. But I've never seen a storm this strong," said Nam Tum, governor of Cambodia's Kampong Thom province.
The immediate threat from Ketsana eased as it was downgraded to a tropical depression as it crossed into a fourth nation, Laos. But its powerful winds and pummeling rain left a snaking trail of destruction.
Meanwhile, another typhoon gained strength as it moved toward the hard-hit northern Philippines. Typhoon Parma was 404 miles (650 kilometers) off the country's eastern coast Thursday, but was already bringing rain to eastern provinces.
Packing winds of 93 miles per hour (150 kilometers per hour) with gusts of up to 115 mph (185 kph), Parma was expected to hit land Saturday in the northeastern Philippines, weather forecaster Rommel Yutoc said.
Landslides triggered by Ketsana slammed into houses in central Vietnam on Tuesday, burying people including five members of the same family, the government said. The country's toll rose to 74 as officials recovered more bodies from the muck and swollen rivers, with 179 injured and a dozen missing, the government said late Wednesday.
It said the storm destroyed or damaged nearly 180,000 homes, inundated 150,000 more, and flattened crops across central Vietnam. More than 350,000 people were evacuated from the typhoon's path, posing a logistical headache to shelter and feed them.
"The scale of the devastation is stretching all of us," said Minnie Portales, a World Vision aid agency official in the Philippines. The agency said it was scrambling to assess the needs of victims in four countries, including the possibility that Laos would have damage.
Parts of two Vietnamese provinces remained cut off by floodwaters and downed trees and power lines on roads, officials said.
In neighboring Cambodia, at least 11 people were killed and 29 injured Tuesday as the storm toppled dozens of rickety houses and swept away residents in the two provinces north of the capital that were hit. About 100 houses were destroyed and 400 others damaged, said Ly Thuch of the country's disaster management committee.
Five members of the same family died when their house collapsed as they ate dinner, said Neth Sophana of the Red Cross.
Authorities were searching for more victims and rushing food, medical supplies and plastic sheeting for temporary tents to storm-hit areas.
The cleanup task was enormous.
In the Philippines, officials said 2.5 million people had their homes swamped, and nearly 700,000 were seeking help in relief centers hastily set up in schools and other public buildings – even the presidential palace. The Philippines death toll stood at 277, with 42 people missing.

Day 8
We woke to a morning without rain. That in itself helps put you in the mood to do the happy dance!
We were up earlier than the breakfast that was provided started so we got ourselves and the bike all prepped. That didnt take long since we didnt need to pack a tent or our sleeping bags. We had that process down to a science. If it wasnt raining we could be dressed, packed and loaded in less than 45 minutes. Thats to kick stand up.
The Royal Inn & Suites was very clean, friendly and had a great place to eat breakfast. The breakfast was your typical continental but was filling and gave us the needed fuel for a long day.
The office/breakfast nook.
A friend of mine and also my wifes uncle had been stationed at Happy Valley-Goose Bay. It was such a nice morning we couldnt pass up riding through the base and getting some recent photos.
On the way to the airbase. Yup, another pic of the hospital!
Radio Canada! The CBC.
Remember I was taking sign pictures now!
Getting on the base was pretty easy. Too, easy?
This base had been used as a landing site for the space shuttle as well as a few of the diverted airliners from 9/11 when airspace in the US was closed.
Pretty large area!
The Water Bomber.
What a ham!
The Height Finder Antenna
Didnt know what this one was.
Looking head on at the Voodoo Aircraft
Lookin purty in front of Air Labrador. All washed off from all the rain weve been having. After the Dalton Highway she had a quarter inch of calcium chloride caked all over her that had to get pressure washed off. Dont know if it ever all came off!
After the Dalton:
Our first look at the Trans Lab from HV-GB. This was going to be ALL gravel from here until Red Bay. This is the most treacherous and desolate (my opinion) of the TLH. The road is fairly new and is continuously being maintained.
Does it look like its raining to you? Yeah, me too. It was, raining that is
This is also known as the Labrador Coastal Drive.
Lets see; red clay, rain, poor tires, and a grated bridge. Doesnt give a person a whole lot of good vibes, does it?
Story of my life right now. Water on the lens of the camera and my GPS says that we arent near a road. Not that it matters. Theres only one road that is.
It was so nice when we left the hotel and HV-GB that Dylan had not put his rain pants on. We stopped when it was pretty apparent that it wasnt going to just be a sprinkle.
Hmmm, looks like its breaking up a bit!
Theres a whole lot of nothing in front of us. Nice . Its peaceful, gives you a chance to contemplate life and just sit back and relax and enjoy the ride.
The ultimate optimists! Sunglasses in the rain!
At some point the rain quit and we were then subjected to the dust.

Meet the New 'Knight Rider'
The network has cast Justin Bruening ("All My Children") as the lead character in its updated "Knight Rider," according to
The new "Knight Rider" will follow the same premise as its predecessor: Guy fights crime with the help of a supercar. The new version, however, will also take some cues from "Transformers," meaning viewers should probably prepare for a shape-shifting KITT.
Bruening, a regular on "All My Children" since 2003, will play the son of Michael Knight (he had a son?) in the movie, which Dave Andron ("Raines") is writing and Steve Shill ("The Kill Point," "Dexter") will direct. Liman and Dave Bartis will serve as exec producers.
Bruening's route to the "Knight Rider" remake parallels that of

West Two LondonLondon, England
The staff had not really an idea which beds were free, but cleaned them right away as one was still not made at midnight. Not enough plugs to charge phones and by far too less bathrooms. Shower and toilet always together, so you sometimes have to wait for people finishing their showers quite a ling time. But you get what you expect for 8£ in that area. It would not cost a lot to make it look friendlier.
Belsize HouseLondon, England
Staff speaks better Spanish than English, so sometimes the communication was difficult, but they were lovely and tried to understand. The breakfast is very basic, but it's totally ok for the prize, we have not tried dinner, because we did not want to go back at that time. The area, Belsize gardens is absolutely beautiful with typical London houses. for 12£ absolutely worth it, just don't expect too much!
Dublin InclusiveDublin, Ireland
really small and cute hostel, the owners were really nice and gave us a lot of information about the city and maps. Kitchen is nice and everything necessary is there. It is not the Hilton, of course, . We walked always into the city centre, it is not too far. and the beds were really comfortable! I would definitely recommend it!

Over the weekend Thom Yorke debuted his new band featuring Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, Beck/R.E.M. drummer Joey Waronker, Forro in the Dark percussionist/multi-instrumentalist Mauro Refosco and Red Hot Chili Pepper bassist Flea. The group performed a "public rehearsal" at L.A.'s tiny Echoplex club on Friday (10/02) and put on their first official show last night (10/04) at L.A.'s Orpheum Theater. They play again tonight at the Orpheum. Tickets to Friday's "secret" gig sold out in minutes and were reportedly being scalped online for as much as $3,000.
Both shows began with the title track from Yorke's 2006 solo album The Eraser and went on to include the entire album in order. After almost an hour, both shows also featured Yorke performing a solo encore before bringing the band back for a number of new tunes.

As of Thursday, December 8, 2011
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY, Ga. — The first of three co-defendants in what has been billed as the Albany area's largest check fraud scheme against the U.S. government has been released on a $20,000 bond awaiting trial following a hearing Thursday.
As first reported at albanyherald.com, Trevayne "Tre" D. Jones was arrested by the U.S. Secret Service and the U.S. Marshal's Service Wednesday and brought for his initial court appearance. Thursday morning, U.S. Magistrate Thomas Langstaff heard arguments and testimony from the U.S. Attorney's Office and Jones' defense counsel as to why he should or shouldn't be remanded into custody pending his trial.
After hearing the evidence that was presented, Langstaff ruled that, while Jones' previous felony conviction and subsequent arrests in state and Superior Court were disconcerting, the government failed to meet the two-prong test that Jones was both a serious risk to flee and was a danger to the community.
While his grand jury indictment remains under seal by the court, Jones is alleged to be a part of a three-man conspiracy in which 342 checks from the U.S. Treasury were stolen while en route to their various payees in the metro Atlanta area.
Also charged are Dontreal M. Jenkins of Albany and Jamal Williams of Atlanta. Jenkins surrendered to federal authorities Thursday morning and appeared before Langstaff for his initial appearance and arraignment Thursday afternoon.
The three made off with more than $700,000 in federal tax refunds meant for taxpayers in Atlanta, Special Agent Jim Maddox of the U.S. Secret Service testified Thursday.
Jones and Jenkins are alleged to have cashed the checks at the BP Convenience Store on North Slappey Boulevard, where Jones was known to spend hours each day playing Keno, sometimes spending more than $1,000 on the Georgia Lottery game, Maddox testified.
Maddox also told the court that between January and May 2011, the two cashed the 342 checks at the store and, at some point, Jones cashed as many as 36 in one day using the guise that he was helping his sister, whom he allegedly told the store owner had a tax preparation business in Atlanta and needed the checks cashed on behalf of her indigent clients.
Maddox further testified that Jones was linked to the checks by way of his ID, which was photocopied with some of the checks, and because the store owner wrote his and Jenkins' nicknames on the checks.
Testifying on behalf of the defendant Thursday was Dartuvino Wester, who described his relationship to Jones as almost brotherly in nature. The two met while working together at the Equity Group in 1995, he said.
Wester said that he had never known Jones to carry a weapon and that he didn't believe the recently married man to be a flight risk. He also said, however, that he wasn't aware of Jones' previous felony drug conviction, nor did he know of any subsequent arrests on misdemeanor counts.
The alleged scheme came to light because of two seperate events.
The first happened on May 12 when Williams was stopped by sheriff's deputies in Crisp County on I-75. After searching Williams' Mercedes Benz 500 Series, deputies found a small amount of marijuana and some Treasury checks hidden into an X-Box case.
Maddox said the Secret Service later analyzed Williams' iPhone and discovered a series of text messages between Williams and Jenkins listing the payees, addresses and amounts of some of the stolen checks.
Around the same time, the owner of the store went to police after the checks started coming back from the bank as stolen, at which time Jones was interviewed by investigators with the Dougherty County Sheriff's Office, Maddox said.

What is it that these pastors, apostles and chief apostles, prophets, major prophets, prophetesses and major prophetesses who lead they Albany flock not understand about "Thou shalt not lie" and "Thou shalt not bear false witness"?
Both are rampant in this city.
SMHgain 3 years, 6 months ago
Wonder how many times these "alleged" thieves have pulled crimes like this and NOT been caught, after all the are only stealing from the government (taxpayers). And what credible store owner is going to cash checks for some one other than the owner of the check. I think that some one in law enforcement needs to check out the store owner. Seems like he didn't care if the checks were stolen as long as the crooks spent thousands of dollars playing the lottery in HIS store. Disgusting.

I don't see how the store owner could not be involved. Also, don't understand why it took the feds so long to zero in on this one.

I think the ineptitude of the suspects is hilarious. Steal government checks, then cash them at a local store, tell them your name, where to find you, and let them copy your ID. You cant make this stuff up.

DALLAS -- The Los Angeles Lakers finally delivered a little Showtime Saturday night to prop up an otherwise disappointing road trip. Blistering first-half shooting set up the 115-89 rout of the Dallas Mavericks at American Airlines Center, the type of high-octane performance -- if not the massive scoring discrepancy -- the Lakers hope can become more routine under new coach Mike D'Antoni. L.A. led by as many as 37 points in the third quarter as D'Antoni, still limping from knee replacement surgery before taking the job, evened his record at 2-2. The Lakers also evened their record at 7-7 and won handily despite playing for the fourth time in five nights. The Mavs had not played since Wednesday's win over the New York Knicks and fell to 7-7 while hearing "Let's Go Lakers" chants in their home building. "It was embarrassing before the 'Let's Go Lakers' chants," Mavs forward Elton Brand said. "It was embarrassing before that. We were down 30 points to a team we beat with Steve...

what subject are you going for? you should try your local library or a second hand book store. I saved a ton of $ at the local half priced books.

Richard Schmid's Alla Prima is a great start. Mostly for oil but the knowledge within it is useful for any sort of painting.
"A drawing is not necessarily academic because it is thorough, but only because it is dead. Neither is a drawing necessarily academic because it is done in what is called a conventional style, any more than it is good because it is done in an unconventional style. The test is whether it has life and conveys genuine feeling."- Harold Speed

Oh I´ve got a question related to this topic. I´m not sure whether to buy aquarells in small pans or color tubes. I guess I prefer pans, but picking up the smooth color from a color tube wouldn´t damage the brush tips, right?
I thought about buying the White Nights colors...
December 12th, 2010 #5
White Nights are nice though they're pretty opaque and a bit different from your regular aquarelles. I've never tried using tubes though the common thing to use is the pans... I've heard tubes are good if you're painting really big and need lots of color.

Thank you =) How do you pick up the color from naps without squashing and squeezing the brush tip? I´ve worked with tubes for quite a long time at school but I don´t draw that much in color at home so it would be much better to use naps in this particular case.
Well, I think I´ll try the White Nights(I really like strong colors) and in case I want it more transparent I´ll use more water or maybe try out the Winsor & Newton in color tubes...but that´s just an idea.

You just need to wet the cake real well. If it is too dry and requires rubbing, you can use a stiff old nylon brush to pick color.

Nice place, 10 minute walk to the old city. Was here during Shabbat. Was able to hear the history of the shabbat and understand a little more about the Jewish culture. Really enjoyable

Historical Traveler Reviews David Citadel Hotel Jerusalem
Poor Service in Jerusalem
I led a small group of pilgrims in September to Israel and this is the hotel where we stayed while in Jerusalem at the recommendation of our travel agent. While the hotel itself was lovely/updated and in a good location, the service was some of the worst I have experienced in my world travels to over 50 countries. Our room type was wrong upon check-in (we had reserved a club floor room junior suite). They made little effort to try to accomodate us for our room type/club floor and when we finally found a satisfactory room in terms of size(not on the club floor), they charged us another $50.00. The travel agent had to refund us $300 upon our returnm (forced the hotel to do this) since they did not deliver to us what was reserved. The room refrigerator was not stocked each day with soft drinks and when I called to ask why the frig hadn't been replaced with new drinks the second day, it was suggested that it was my fault because the 'Do No Disturb' sign could have been on - this was not the case and the maids had no problem servicing the room. It seemed with every incident of poor quality service, the staff was more concerned about making excuses than remeding the situation for guests. I called the manager on call and expressed my concerns in service. He asked what I would like done to remedy the situation such as a free bottle of wine - while, a nice gesture, I told him all I wanted was good service and no excuses for bad service. For travelers accustom to Five Star accomodation/service, this is not the place in Jerusalem. To make things worst, my father ended up with Salmonella food poisoning from eating the breakfast eggs in the restaurant on the day before his departure and was hospitalized for 3 weeks back in the US (and ended up septic - blood infection from the salmonella). As a doctor myself, it was quite evident where the source of the infection was found based upon time of onset of symptoms and exposure. If you go to Jerusalem and want luxury, stay at the American Colony Hotel - my favorite in the city and I wish we had stayed there this time.
A fabulous hotel
Have just returned from a week in the David Citadel. One of the best hotels we have ever stayed in anywhere in the world. The room was huge, modern, more like a small apartment (alcove de luxe), with a view of the old city. The lounge lobby is great for people watching and serves excellent light meals too, served by friendly staff. The milk shakes are said to be the best in Jerusalem. Breakfast was superb with endless choices and regular coffee refills. The rooms are done twice a day with a turn down service in the evening when towels are all replaced if necessary, which really makes a difference if people (kids)! have showered during the day and left wet towels around. Requests for more pillows etc were addressed within minutes each time, housekeeping superb in all respects. Never had to wait for an elevator at all, despite being on 8th floor. Constant supply of taxis too and never waited here either. This hotel really delivers on all fronts, could not fault it in any respect. It is a luxury hotel in every way and worth every penny - we feel really pampered after a week there. Roll on the next visit!
Excellent Hotel
My family and I stayed 5 nights at the David Citadel and we all loved it. Our party included 2 senior citizens, a teenager, and 2 children (ages 12 and 9). The rooms were spacious and lovely, with generous closet space. The breakfasts were delicious and offered extensive choices. We also enjoyed a few light meals/snacks in the Lounge (from which is offered a beautiful view of the Old City). The hotel is well located with respect to both the Old City and many restaurants and shops (within walking distance). We found the service to be excellent.
Jerusalem is such an amazing city. Staying at the David Citadel really rounded out the whole experience.
Will never forget the Citadel
The David Citadel hotel will undoubtedly be one of those places that will forever remain in my heart. In mid- July while in Israel for the Macabbi games, we had the priviledge of a week stay. The room was very spacious with a small balcony that overlooked the old city...During our stay, secretary of state- Condoleeza Rice arrived for a surprise visit, and, as a result, the hotel manager informed me that our room was needed for her staff. We were moved up to the 10th floor, huge room (no balcony) with access to the club lounge, which was great. This was very convenient, especially during the late afternoon, when the kitchen staff brought out a delicious buffet. The Shabbat dinner we had during our first night, was one of those nights I will never, ever forget. It was truly meaningful and the buffet was excellent. I found the front desk and concierge staff quite helpful, although the front desk lacked slightly with an issue, it got resolved. My daughter and I even ate at the sushi bar and enjoyed it. I loved sitting in the garden terrace in the late afternoon, it was so pleasant, breezy and peaceful. The hotel by no means has a dramatic lobby, however, once you step foot up one flight to the gorgeous indoor and outdoor terrace, you are transported into another world! I have also stayed at the King David, but if you want something different, THIS IS THE PLACE!!
Great Facilities...Poor Service
My family and I stayed at the David Citadel twice in July. The hotel rooms and facilities are lovely and spacious. Unfortunately many members of the staff fail in their responsibilities to the guests both in attitude and execution of guest requests. While hotel management tried to resolve many of the issues, the attempts were less than satisfactory. I would much prefer to stay at the King David down the street in slightly dated rooms but with better service.
Classy Hotel
We stayed in this hotel for 5 nights in early July, 2005. The hotel itself is beautiful and very modern with a great breakfast (included) and a wonderful Shabbat dinner (extra). The food staff was excellent and the maid service was awesome, basically they cleaned the room twice a day bringing new towels in the evening with the turn down service. The chocolates left on the bed were very good too! The only negatives were the front desk and concierge staff who were pretty useless. They were not particularly friendly and could not answer any question. There was some street noise at night, but not too much, probably depending on where your room is located. All in all it is a beautiful hotel with a nice pool and we would stay here again.
Loved David's Citadel
Stayed at David's Citadel for the second time July 1 - July 11, 2005. It was nice to see the hotel and Jerusalem so busy because when we were last there in December 2004 the hotel was slow. This hotel is in a perfect location. The rooms are nice, very clean with Ahava toiletries in nice size bathrooms - try to request an Old City view or a room with a terrace. The pool was great and has a wonderful view of the Old City. The Israeli breakfast was fabulous - you couldn't ask for more selections. We also had Shabbat dinner in the hotel twice and the buffet was first rate. The concierge was also very helpful as is the staff. The hotel has high line shops (ie H Stern Jewelers and a beautiful Judaica Shop/Gallery). We have previously stayed at the Jerusalem Sheraton and the Inbal and although those are nice hotels - they don't compare to David's Citadel.
Excellent experience :)
I just returned Jan 13 2005. The David Citadel is an excellent hotel. The room was well furnished, large & comfortable. The marble bathroom had a shower separate from the bathtub. Breakfast food was excellent and the restaurants were very good.
Service was prompt, thorough and provided very graciously. I had an excellent experience and I will certainly stay there again.
Truly a citadel
Spent a week in Jerusalem on a mission...one of the finest hotels i've stayed at. Service is excellent, rooms sparkle, and one can easily walk to the Old City to pray. Provided top security, truely making this a citadel!
Highly recommended.
Great location and rooms!
You cannot beat the location of the DC---the nearest to the Old City, and great views from its nice pool and most rooms. The hotel is new, and the rooms are very modern and well kept.

There was no semifinal disappointment for the Schenectady Christian boys basketball team this time.
Jake Bowman and Matt McCarty made sure of that.
The two seniors combined to score 44 of their team's 51 points to lead the Falcons past Hoosic Valley 51-45 in Monday's Section II, Class CC semifinal game in Glens Falls.
Schenectady Christian (21-1), the top seed in class CC, advances to Saturday's final against defending Section II champion Stillwater, which edged Cambridge 60-58 in Monday's other semifinal.
The obvious thing is their size. The smallest guy they will start is probably equal to our biggest guy, Schenectady Christian coach Chad Bowman said of Stillwater, the No. 2 seed. "Plus, they have championship game experience."
Jake Bowman and McCarty carried the Falcons to their first championship game on their backs. Bowman scored 25 points, and McCarty contributed 19 points including a halfcourt three-pointer as time expired in the first half, which gave Schenectady Christian a 29-23 halftime lead.
"We've had good (scoring) balance this year, and that's probably the key to having a good year," said coach Bowman. "But clearly, Matt and Jake are our go-to guys."
Schenectady Christian's defense also came up big when it needed to. After Hoosic Valley cut the Falcons' lead to two points at the end of the third quarter, Schenectady Christian limited the Panthers to nine points in the fourth quarter to pull out the victory.
"That was probably the best defensive team we've played in probably two years," said Bowman. "We knew we weren't going to score a lot of points, so we needed to work on our defense in order to win this game. It was probably our best defensive effort of the season."
The boys basketball team will now try to give Schenectady Christian its second Sectional title of any kind. The girls basketball team won the school's first title last year.

Re: J24 Good first boat???
dont get me wrong me too! just there are better boats out there to get you started and more enjoyable to begin with...like portlights in the cabin and a good cockpit for petes sake! ajajajaa
Re: J24 Good first boat???
first off the rudder needs constant input even in wind angles assumed steady like upwind for example.
Re: J24 Good first boat???
you can broach without a spinnaker...in fact thats what the owner of my soon to be boat did
I opted not to recomend any boats as usually you will get flack from the racer guys saying why get a crappy slow boat? but Ive seen it way too many times where people get scared away doing just this, Im not being archaic here just realist.
those that start off fast and learn fast and learn on a spirited boat already have some sailing background and or are familiar with sailboats and the basics
the basics is that a j24 IS NOT a beginner boat in any sense and making new racers suffer a bit by having a "cool" boat well it really just doesnt work that way
in my experience I might add
being a trainer at a sailing association back home I could get people hooked on sailing(getting new members was part of my job, 10 a month to be exact) by taking them first on a hobie 16 and wizz by at 20miles an hour by their friends and family on the shore, wave by take pics, etc...
then when they signed up to the club I showed them our keel boats including small 16. 18 and 21 footers, there where also lasers and optis for the kids...a couple of 505s and some wood boats...
then and only after they took some classes would we take the j24 out...and after crewing a while they could day sail and charter the boat with a skipper at the club.
what I dont reccomend doing ever is skip important steps...its not constructive to getting a good solid base sailing wise
if all you want to do is have fun on a spirited boat the j24 is awesome for that Im not arguing that at all
but a beginner boat like the op asked the honest answer I think is no.
Re: J24 Good first boat???
Perhaps, I've figured out why sailing has become a less popular sport these days. I've sailed a Catalina 22... and it's like sailing a brick. It's OK a couple boats I've sailed (and owned) were bricks too... its fine if you'd rather a wine and cheese cruise.
We might be able to keep more people sailing if what they first sailed was a little more "spirited." Perhaps that's how you get the younger water-skier types to stick with sailing anyway... But this is why when I see these first boat threads (and again this is a VERY old thread, but you know someone will search it) and the Catalina 22 comes up, I champion, no BEG, that the newbie consider a Capri 22... it's nearly as popular a boat as the Cat 22, just as easy to find parts for, sails better, and is still made! But if someone got a deal on a J/24? It's not a bad way to start. I'd say start with the main only though.
Broach? Not sure how many newbie sailors are going to try a spinnaker honestly, but OK... lets assume since the boat has one, a newb goes OK, lets try the colorful sail! By the time they get around to "Trying" I would think they'd know enough about the boat to not try it in 20 knots breeze. Anything under say 10 knots, and even newb will have time to figure out what to do...
Re: J24 Good first boat???
I can't see how you can recommend a J-24 for anything other than one-design racing. The cockpit and deck are not laid out for any form of siting comfort. I sailed a J-24 some 30+ tears ago, and I still remember how sore I was the next day, the helmsperson was the one sailor not required to sit on a block, winch or cleat. The second most comfortable position on the boat was siting on the rail...It's one thing to ignore the dis-comfort for a 2-3 hour race, during which you are pretty busy, but to purposely day-sail on one, forgetaboutit.
Re: J24 Good first boat???
agree completely schnool
I would argue however that a j24 is not the BEST starting boat by a long shot...
however if the price is right and you have some good sailor friends with j experience you can learn well and fast!
first off the rudder needs constant input even in wind angles assumed steady like upwind for example.
ddw the ride can be wild, wet and needs a good helmsman
j24 are known to turtle not saying sailing beer can races this happen but it has MANY times, this can be atrbuted to a design feature but also to racing hard, REALLY HARD.
in chop you need to power through stuff and that requires above average sail trim and knowledge that a new sailor wont necessarily have or know of yet so you might be surprised that the j24 isnt as fast as you thought it would be..
not a con just not what you "expected"
a perfect beginner boat for the most part wont be a boat that excells in one design racing around the world "just sayin"
you need a boat that tracks easy(maintains course without much input), tacks easy, and steers easily...of these 3 only tacking can be easy on a j24 once you get the technique down
now thats just my opinion, however for me a perfect beginner boat in the low to mid 20s would be one with a shallow long keel and attached rudder and a sailplan with a low aspect main and a boat prefferrably with a self tacking jib.
however a catalina 22 would be a great beginner boat in my book too that has a nice easy to use swing keel(of the 3 models they offer)
if you grow out if it soon by learning fast, by all means step it up to a j boat or similar however my opinion is that going all in FIRST rarely gives the new sailor any benefit in the long run and quite often what happens is they get scared and shy away. this is something only you will know, the op in this case...
for example Im possibly buying a merit 25 from a sailor who didnt have much experience(with these kind of boats)
all it took was 1 broach down wind because he got caught in a summer gust of just 25knots to scare the living crap out of him, he never once set a chute, never sailed a race and only went out for short daysails...a racer isnt necessarily the best boat in this scenario is it?
he then left the boat unattended for 3 years
just sayin
others experience may vary
ps. I could also add that the j24 has no cabin to speak of, has no portlights so its dark and is quite weird inside...also the decks are ballooned right to the edge which makes it a perfect rail meat deck(again for racing) but a very weird deck for a NEW sailor to get used to...it always feels like you are falling into the water...
Im sorry if this info has all been mentioned before
Re: J24 Good first boat???
This is a pretty old thread, but if it's good enough for bob....
I'd add that as a starter boat, it's a good sailing boat. Now these boats can be had all day long for under $5k... finding one that is dry is tough. A good friend of mine just sold his to get rid of it for $3000, and it was a lot of boat (in great shape with a lot of sails) for $3500 (boat, motor and trailer, with like 10 sails).
That being said, the J/24 has some caveats for a new sailor, that mostly apply to someone wanting to trailer it. It's a keel stepped mast (making it difficult but not impossible for 2 or 3 people to step the mast)... It's a deep fin keel, so trailer launching is "exciting" if you've never strap launched a keel boat. Once you get over those 2 hurdles though, it's a spritely boat, that sails well in light air. I think it holds up nicely as the winds come up, but you need more crew on to keep her flat. If the above caveats are an issue, the J/22 is a slightly newer platform with a deck stepped mast.
Re: J24 Good first boat???
I owned a J24. I think it would be a great boat to start with.

Tony, this is a old post, but I'm looking at a j24 and would enjoy going out on one before making a choice on buying one. I live in Raleigh NC and would travel to coast or lake to go sailing on one
