A repurposed hotel in Frankfurt's bustling Ostend district, 25hours Hotel The Goldman is both a hideaway and a local hotspot. Influenced and inspired by the diversity of "Mainhattan" (that's Frankfurt am Main) and the aesthetics of the UN Headquarters in New York, designers Delphine Buhro and Michael Dreher created a homey boutique hideout displaying a flamboyant mix of details. Each of the seven floors has its own consistent color scheme, and the 97 guestrooms are individually designed around local and international celebrities whose personal stories are expressed in the rooms. Guests get a never-ending variety of vintage eclecticism, and the themed rooms—like the Princess, Paris, and Casino rooms—add to the sense of fun. The Mediterranean-influenced Goldman Restaurant, meanwhile, provides the perfect social outlet, making the hotel a must for the city's style-conscious natives and a home base for young business travelers who appreciate individuality.
Bernjus Gisbertz
Sometimes great new stories come from dressing up the old ones. That's what the architectural firm bernjus.gisbertz has done at 25Hours Hotel The Goldman, adorning an existing building, the old Henninger Hof, with a stunning new façade that marries high-polished glamor with just a hint of naughty pleasure. Rarely does a hotel use space to draw you in as this one does. An interconnected lobby, lounge, restaurant and bar give a feeling of transparency to the entire ground floor, while a living room with its own private patio emphasizes a free-flowing environment. And it all leads one upward on a journey of creative beguilement to guestrooms stacked on seven floors, each with a 'godfather', a local notable, whose story is expressed by the room, giving guests a sense of Frankfurt's cosmopolitan nature.
Frankfurt Flair
For 25Hours Hotel The Goldman, Delphine Buhro and Michael Dreher have created hypnotic spaces, each with its own color scheme. All rooms display an exceptional mix of high quality design—lamps from Flos, furnishings by Swedish brand Snowcrash and fabrics by mfta and Romo—and individually picked vintage objects to provide a balance of timelessness and hipness—style with staying power.
Stephan Gerhard, Ardi Goldman, Christoph Hoffmann & Kai Hollmann
The vanguard 25hours Hotel Company returns the tradition of the grand old hotel to contemporary form with its inventive, made-to-measure 'budget-de-luxe hotels with freshly interpreted service' where the staff maintains a concierge-level attentiveness, while invoking a laidback, authentic atmosphere. Each 25hours hotel tells a story via design concepts built from organic narratives inspired by the hotel's location, as well as pure imagination. Ardi Goldman is their resident visionary, from real estate development down to the finest detail of décor; Stephan Gerhard keeps his sharp Swabian eye turned to the numbers; Kai Hollmann is the grand seigneur of Hamburg's hospitality industry, and CEO Christoph Hoffmann claims the title of unwitting captain of their cunning fleet.

Hanauer Landstraße, 127, Eastend

Buffalo, N.Y. - Brian Kolb, the top Republican in the state assembly, has portrayed himself as someone who says state government spends too much money.
So we were somewhat surprised when we found out that Kolb, from the Finger Lakes area, was sending out a mailer all across the state at taxpayer expense.
Kolb says he's mailing out 90 thousand of the six question surveys at what he says will cost taxpayers about $22,000.
And when you take a look at the questions that Kolb wants people to answer and then get back to him on, well some people would say it's all fairly obvious.
On the topic of job creation, one possible answer is "lower taxes for businesses."
And let's take a look question five: "What Matters To You?" it asks people to rank what's most important to them. Among the answers: "creating more jobs," and "cutting wasteful spending."
Speaking of wasteful spending, I asked Kolb if this mailer could be considered just that.
Scott Brown: "Given your concerns about state spending, was it really necessary to spend $22,000 on this?"
Assemblyman Brian Kolb: "Was it necessary? If I could get everybody to use e-mails especially our seniors where many people don't have access to a computer or use a computer they prefer to get something in the mail. I'm a strong protector of the state taxpayer dollars and when you're looking for information from the people we serve I think it's well spent money here."
Scott Brown: "Why did you feel the need to send this when I think many people would find the questions and the answers pretty easy?"
Assemblyman Brian Kolb: "The point of the survey is to provide feedback on what could be the most important items in the session 2103-2014 and you would get different answers Scott if you're calling Western New York or Central New York or New York City region. What you're doing is to get a pulse of what people are thinking across the state and that's why it's done statewide."
Now 2 On Your Side checked with the Assembly Speaker's office and it says Kolb as the minority leader is permitted to send one mailing per year to a "statewide audience."
And we should note that for the most recent six month period where figures are available, Kolb was actually among the lowest spenders in the Assembly on mailers to voters in his district, at just over $6,000.

Maxima is a computer algebra system comparable to commercial systems like Mathematica and Maple. It emphasizes symbolic mathematical computation: algebra, trigonometry, calculus, and much more.
For example, Maxima solves x^2-r*x-s^2-r*s=0 giving the symbolic results [x=r+s, x=-s].
Maxima can calculate with exact integers and fractions, native floating-point and high-precision big floats.
Maxima has user-friendly front-ends, an on-line manual, plotting commands, and numerical libraries. Users can write programs in its native programming language, and many have contributed useful packages in a variety of areas over the decades.
Maxima is GPL-licensed and largely written in Common Lisp. Executables can be downloaded for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android; source code is also available. An active community maintains and extends the system.
Maxima is widely used: annual direct downloads exceed 100,000. Many other users receive it through secondary distribution.
- Specialized in symbolic operations but offering numerical capabilities too.
- Can be accessed programmatically and extended, as the underlying Lisp can be called from it.
- Complete programming language with ALGOL-like syntax but Lisp-like semantics.
- Arbitrary-precision integers.
- Rational numbers of sizes limited only by machine memory.
- Arbitrarily large floating-point numbers ("bfloats").

Useful project. It's sad that Google Summer never accepted that one.
It helped me a lot with my math...
Together with wxMaxima, Maxima is a very good (Free) replacement for Mathemacica etc. Hope this project will continue to evolve in the future.
copy/paste doesnt work right. you can copy and paste within the program but not to or from a word file for example. good job though
This is one of the most efficient open source CAS around and is just too easy to learn. Supports functional + imperative programming and has most of functionality built in. Extending it using Maxima's own programming language, makes it just too flexible. There is one h t t p : / /area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/66233/maxima ,community under proposal. One can join here and learn from creators of Maxima.

On this comprehensive northwest park tour, you'll discover some of nature's most stunning creations. Begin in cosmopolitan Seattle, then travel east to cowboy country and the great wilderness. Experience the grandeur of Glacier National Park's frozen peaks, delight in the vistas of Canadian National Parks at Jasper and Banff, and round out your odyssey with three nights in Vancouver, British Columbia's sparkling city by the sea. Along the way, you'll enjoy an exciting ride on The Ice Explorer snowcoach and savor a special lunch at Edwardian-flavored Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. Plus, extend your travel dollar with our pre-trip extension in Seattle & Victoria, or our post-trip extension in Seattle.
hiddenDay 1Depart home city • Arrive Seattle, Washington
Once in Seattle, meet your fellow travelers, including those who arrived here earlier for our optional pre-trip Seattle & Victoria extension, during a Welcome Reception at your hotel.
hiddenDay 2Seattle • Spokane
After breakfast, you'll begin a full-day ride eastward through the ruggedly beautiful Cascade Mountains to Spokane, about 320 miles from Seattle. During your travel today, notice as the mountain landscape transforms into grassy plains. You'll make several stops along the way, including a break for lunch on your own in Leavenworth, a town reminiscent of a Bavarian village. The day's final destination, Spokane (the "Lilac City"), was founded in 1871 and sits on the Spokane River in eastern Washington State.
Get better acquainted with your fellow travelers over a Welcome Dinner at your hotel this evening.
hiddenDay 3Spokane • Kalispell, Montana
After breakfast, depart for Kalispell, Montana—stopping en route in downtown Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, this morning for a bit of independent exploration.
Upon arrival in Kalispell this afternoon, settle into your hotel, located just outside Glacier National Park. You'll enjoy dinner on your own this evening; your Program Director will be able to offer recommendations.
hiddenDay 4Kalispell • Glacier National Park • Lonesome Dove Guest Ranch visit
Today, you'll travel to Montana's Glacier National Park, a beautiful wilderness area of more than one million acres. Established in 1910, the U.S. and Canadian governments combined it with Alberta's Waterton Park in 1932, creating the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park. Over millennia, glaciers carved out a rugged landscape of spectacular mountains, pristine lakes, and breathtaking scenery. You'll also enjoy lunch in this scenic setting at the Lake McDonald Lodge.
In the late afternoon, you will see the local cowboy culture brought to life during an included visit to the Lonesome Dove Guest Ranch. You'll get a true taste of life on a rustic Montana ranch—a bed and breakfast that caters to both its guests and their horses. Here, you'll meet the cowboys and see the beautiful horses.
After a home-cooked dinner on the ranch, you will return to your Kalispell hotel. Be sure to look up at the stars that light up Montana's fabled "Big Sky" before you depart.
Please note: Weather conditions in this region are always unpredictable, so the road to Glacier National Park may be closed unexpectedly at any time of year. In such cases, alternate itineraries will be arranged.
hiddenDay 5Kalispell • Banff, Alberta
Today, you head north into Canada on the British Columbia side of the Canadian Rockies. Choose a spot for lunch on your own in Fort Steele Heritage Town, a restored 1890s mining boomtown that will stimulate your senses with the sights and sounds of frontier life. Feel the rhythm of western life through the town's scripted street dramas by joining tours aboard horse-drawn wagons, or by listening to costumed townsfolk in lively debate over the controversies of their day.
The latter part of the afternoon will be spent traveling to your lodging in Banff; you'll arrive at the hotel late in the afternoon. You dine on your own this evening — ask your Program Director for suggestions on nearby restaurants.
hiddenDay 6Banff sightseeing tour • Buffalo Nations Museum
After breakfast, you'll tour the town of Banff, truly a gem set in the Canadian Rockies. The site of Canada's oldest and most spectacular national park, Banff is nestled in a charming valley dominated by high mountains. During today's included tour, discover why it's also the country's most popular parkland.
You'll also enjoy the scenic Tunnel Mountain Drive that loops around the park. Close by, you'll find the curiously shaped hoodoos—spires of eroded limestone and sandstone.
Then, visit the Buffalo Nations Museum, dedicated to the Native Americans who inhabited the Northern Plains and Canadian Rockies before the arrival of the Europeans. Enjoy scenic views throughout your return to Banff, where you may spend the afternoon and evening at your leisure.
hiddenDay 7Banff • Columbia Icefield tour • Jasper
Today's full-day transfer to Jasper is a 185-mile trek across one of the most spectacular highways in the world, the Icefields Parkway. Journey to Lake Louise this morning, where you'll be given a picnic lunch to enjoy at your leisure amidst this stunning backdrop. The lake was named for Princess Louise Caroline Alberta, daughter of Queen Victoria. When thawed, the blue-green waters appear almost tropical, though it generally stays frozen through mid-June. The Victorian lodge commands a spectacular view of the lake and surrounding mountains, and it offers paths you can stroll between shoreline and cliffs. The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise is large and varied enough to impress you as a world unto itself.
After lunch, ride over Bow Pass, which rises to an altitude of 7,000 feet. This Icefields Parkway route shows you the many glaciers of the Columbia Icefields, the largest body of ice in the Rocky Mountains; and the Athabasca Glacier, the biggest glacier accessible by road in the Canadian Rockies. You'll ride the Ice Explorer onto the Athabasca Glacier, whose ice is almost 1,000 feet thick. Stepping onto the glacier's surface, don't fight the temptation to toss a snowball or two!
You'll stay the next two nights in the town of Jasper, an old trading post town located in the heart of Jasper National Park, the Canadian Rockies' largest National Park. Dine on your own in the hotel or at one of Jasper's restaurants.
hiddenDay 8Jasper • Optional Maligne Lake Cruise & Afternoon Tea • Optional Athabasca River Rafting Tour
Today is yours to make your own independent discoveries. The town of Jasper was founded in 1911 when the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway was built along the Athabasca River to the Yellowhead Pass, although a settlement here served as a trading post for fur trappers before the railroad came. Today Jasper is a quiet, friendly town set in the heart of a broad valley and guarded by mountains.
Aside from wandering the town, you may wish to take a ride up Whistler's Mountain aboard the Jasper Tramway. Back in town, the Jasper-Yellowhead Museum is an engaging repository of artifacts from the days of the area's earliest settlers.
Perhaps you will choose to take an optional river rafting tour on the Athabasca River today. The Athabasca originates in Jasper National Park, and has calm stretches from which you can enjoy the wildlife and scenery sliding by.
You may also choose to join us for an optional cruise on Maligne Lake this afternoon, a golden opportunity to relax and experience the sheer majesty of the Rockies in all their unspoiled glory. Before setting out, enjoy afternoon tea at Maligne Canyon. Then, depart on your cruise—you'll cruise this turquoise lake for about 90 minutes, passing by world-famous Spirit Island.
Please note: The Maligne Lake Cruise and afternoon tea operates from June to September.
hiddenDay 9Jasper • Sun Peaks, British Columbia
Your full-day transfer to Sun Peaks takes you past Mount Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies. Travel along the scenic Thomson River, with a picnic lunch along the way. Your transfer continues through Wire Cache Provincial Park and along the Thomson River, a tributary of the mighty Fraser River, before you arrive late afternoon at your hotel.
Dinner is included at your hotel tonight.
hiddenDay 10Sun Peaks • Hell's Gate Airtram ride • Vancouver
Travel today to Vancouver, stopping en route this morning to visit the Secwepemc Museum and Heritage Park, where you'll learn more about the Aboriginal Canadians. Continue on to Fraser Canyon to board the scenic Hell's Gate Airtram, and enjoy an included lunch overlooking the canyon. This beautiful, historic canyon is formed by the Fraser River, which begins in the Canadian Rockies and runs through narrow canyons and vast valley floors down to its Pacific Ocean outlet in Vancouver. This area is world-renowned for salmon fishing and white-water rafting. During late summer and early fall, you may see some Sockeye Salmon breaking the water's surface as they make their way from the ocean upriver to their inland spawning grounds.
Continue your ride down from the Cascades to the Pacific Coast, arriving at your Vancouver hotel late in the afternoon.
Vancouver is both beautiful and sophisticated. Ask your Program Director for suggestions on where to dine on your own this evening. You'll find a wide choice of excellent restaurants, with myriad international cuisines available.
hiddenDay 11Vancouver city tour
On this morning's included city tour, you'll see how Vancouver's urban character is complemented by its proximity to mountains, lush forests, and beaches.
Then visit Stanley Park, dedicated by Lord Stanley in 1889 for the "use and enjoyment of all people of all colors, creeds, and customs for all time." The park houses an aquarium, a collection of totem poles, and a miniature railroad, and it's adorned with majestic evergreen forests, a beautiful formal rose garden, and pristine beaches.
Your tour concludes in Vancouver's Gastown, the historical center of the city. In 1867, a retired riverboat captain, John "Gassy Jack" Deighton, arrived and opened a saloon. Despite repeated attempts to give the district a more dignified name, it has maintained its nickname of Gastown. After its heyday, the area was destined to sink into a seedy "skid row" district, but was rejuvenated in the 1970s. It is now a charming restored district that was declared a historical monument in 1972.
Enjoy your afternoon and evening at leisure. You may want to explore cosmopolitan Robson Street, a shopping mecca for more than 100 years. Or, discover one of Vancouver's most striking landmarks, Canada Place. Dinner is on your own this evening.
hiddenDay 12Vancouver • Chinatown & Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden tour
Visit Vancouver's exotic and expansive Chinatown. You'll enter the second-largest Chinatown in North America through the gaily-painted pillars of China Gate. Once inside, you'll find such landmarks as the Chinese Cultural Centre Museum and Archives and the Sam Kee building, the narrowest office building in the world. You'll notice that many of Chinatown's buildings date from Victorian times and have typically Chinese features. The Chinese were among the first settlers of Vancouver, so while it's a relatively new city, Chinatown is one of its oldest neighborhoods.
While in Chinatown, you'll explore the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, the first of its kind outside of China. As you wander the manicured grounds, you might feel as if you've stepped back in time to 15th-century China, and you'll learn about the Ming Dynasty through the architecture and horticulture you find here.
After time to explore on your own, enjoy lunch at a traditional Chinese restaurant.
You have another evening free to pursue your interests in Vancouver on your own, whether they include nightlife or a relaxed dinner in this friendly city.
hiddenDay 13Vancouver • Seattle, Washington • City tour
You will ride back to Seattle this morning, with a stop along the way to take in the scenery and stretch your legs.
You arrive at Pike Place Market in Seattle with time to explore independently. Pike Place Market is a nine-acre historic district originally created in 1907 to provide farmers with a place to sell their produce without the high increase of middlemen's commissions. Today, Pike Place offers the best in local produce, seafood, meat, and international foods, along with unique gifts handmade by local craftspeople. After lunch on your own, meet your Program Director and board a coach for an included city tour.
Enjoy a Farewell Dinner at a local restaurant this evening. Take this opportunity to relive memories of your trip and perhaps exchange addresses with newfound friends.
hiddenDay 14Seattle • Return to home city
After breakfast, transfer to the airport for your flight home.
Or, begin your optional post-trip extension in Seattle.

Monroe W. Gooden, May 10, 1848 - January 19, 1915
Monroe W. Gooden
from composite photograph of
Tennessee House of Representatives,
45th General Assembly, 1887-1888,
TSLA Collection.
Monroe Gooden was one of fourteen African American men, many of them former slaves, elected to the Tennessee General Assembly during the three decades following the Civil War. The only black Democrat in the House during the 19th century, Gooden became a powerful figure in the same county where he had been raised in slavery.
Gooden's death certificate recorded his birthdate as October 26, 1852, and his death, from an "aortic obstruction," on January 19, 1915. Although the Biographical Directory of the Tennessee General Assembly included the same death date, it said he was born on May 10, 1848, which corresponds with the age Gooden consistently gave in census records and is more likely correct.
The death certificate also stated that the future legislator was born in Fayette County, Tennessee, to Monroe Gooden Senior and an unknown mother. The omission of the mother's name is regrettable, for it might have provided a valuable clue to the family's history -- slaves usually had the same masters as their mothers, at least during their early years. We do know that the neighborhood where the Goodens lived was in the north-central part of Fayette County, along the line between Civil Districts 4 and 5, and only two or three miles from the Haywood County line. In fact, Charles G. Feild's plantation (Feild was the slave owner of Representative John W. Boyd's mother) was just over the county line in Haywood County, only a few miles away.
Although we still do not know exactly which plantation was Monroe Gooden's birthplace, we can identify three possible choices bordering each other in that neighborhood: the Baskerville and Tucker plantations in District 4 and the Harwell plantation in District 5. Since slaves generally took spouses from their own or adjoining plantations, a trend that continued throughout Reconstruction, it is likely that Gooden was born on one of these three plantations.
The question of where Gooden and his sister Lucinda lived during the period of slavery has not been completely answered. We are quite certain that they were Monroe Senior's only children, and it seems likely that their mother died when they were very young. Slave schedule/census records rule out either the Tucker or Baskerville plantations. However, clues to their childhood home may perhaps be found in Civil War enrollment and pension records. Monroe W. evidently enrolled in the Federal army as "Monroe Harvey," serving with the 1st West Tennessee Infantry Regiment (African descent), which later became the 59th U.S. Colored Infantry Regiment, seeing action in northern Mississippi (at Brice's Crossroads and Harrisburg) and in the Memphis area. Gooden's widow, applying for a pension after his death, listed "Monroe Harvey" as his alias. Matching this name to a late 1860s Fayette County record of a "Monroe Harwell" (who does not appear in the census), one wonders whether the young soldier's name should have been written as "Harwell" rather than "Harvey," and whether the two Gooden children did, in fact, grow up on the Harwell plantation in District 5.
That plantation was owned by Dr. Frederick Harwell, a native of Brunswick County, Virginia. Around 1810 several members of his family had moved to Giles County in Middle Tennessee. Twenty years later Dr. Harwell and his wife moved west to District 5 in Fayette County, where they established a large plantation with more than 1,000 acres and approximately 80 slaves. Several intriguing anecdotes about the family still survive. According to one story from late in the Civil War, Dr. Harwell, quite elderly by that time, took a little slave girl along to help him bury his money to protect it from approaching Yankee soldiers. Several descendants of that girl tell how she wracked her brain for the rest of her life, trying to remember where the money was buried. Over the years many people attempted to find the hidden treasure, but with no success. It was not until the 1940s that Jacob Harwell Junior, whose father had been adopted by a slave from that plantation, was plowing in one of the fields and dug up part of the money! Descendants of John Yarbrough, the driver on the plantation [A driver was a high-ranking slave used as an overseer.], tell a story about Union soldiers who hung Yarbrough upside down from a tree to try to force him to reveal where the Harwells' valuables were hidden.
The Harwells were childless so, when both of them died during the final year of the Civil War, they willed their property to two Giles County nephews, who continued to operate the Harwell plantation as absentee owners for another 40 years. During that period several mortgages were filed by Monroe W. Gooden for crops "grown on the Harwell place" [on the Somerville-to-Covington road, where the Bernard School was later located]. Combining that information with the available census records, one can draw the conclusion that Gooden was renting and living in the old Harwell manor house during much of the late 1800s. Oral history suggests that Monroe Gooden was a "big operator" with many sharecroppers working under him. Whether or not he was originally a Harwell slave, it is evident that he was, in time, the de facto "master" of the Harwell plantation.
We do know that Monroe W. Gooden's wife Ann came from the Baskerville plantation owned by the Reverend John Tabb Baskerville, a well-known Methodist minister of the area, and a native of Mecklenburg County, Virginia, which had been home to a number of the large land-owners of southwest Tennessee. A family story says that the white Baskervilles taught at least one of their young female slaves to read and later gave her enough money to purchase 100 acres of property.
Monroe W. Gooden and Ann Baskerville were married in Somerville on December 29, 1866, not long after Monroe Senior married Hannah Hare, another former slave from the Baskerville plantation. It is interesting to note that Monroe Senior's marriage record lists his surname as "Tucker," suggesting (since freed slaves often chose the surname of their original owner, rather than the most recent one) that he had at some point been a slave of Joseph C. C. Tucker on yet another plantation adjoining that of the Baskervilles.
By the time of the 1870 census both Monroe W. and Monroe Senior were living in District 4. The elder Gooden was at that time 48 years old, which would have placed his birthdate in 1822, during the presidency of James Monroe. The family surname in this particular census is spelled "Goodwin," providing an additional clue to their history -- in the 1820s the Goodwyn family was among the largest slave-holders in Dinwiddie County, Virginia . . . which was also the original home of Joseph C. C. Tucker! It is quite possible that Monroe Senior was born in Virginia as a Goodwyn slave but was traded or purchased and brought to Fayette County by the Tucker family.
On March 2, 1872, Monroe Gooden Senior became one of the first African Americans in Fayette County to own land, when he purchased two tracts, amounting to about 250 acres, from A. D. Stainback (Fayette Deed Book 2, page 57) in a transaction known as a title bond. This was an instrument of sale whereby the title passed to the new owner, although no deed was given until payment was made in full. Six years later, after the death of Monroe Senior, the administrator of A. D. Stainback's estate gave a deed for the property to "the heirs of Monroe Gooden," identified as his widow Hannah and his two children, Monroe Gooden Junior and Lucinda Gooden McNeal (Fayette Deed Book 7, page 345, February 25, 1878). Monroe's sister Lucinda, who married Austin McNeal, owned a house and lot in the town of Mason during the early 1900s. She was known around town as "Aunt Cindy McNeal" and lived to be quite an old woman. Regrettably, her death certificate provided no information about her parentage.
A deed from January 25, 1881 (Fayette Deed Book 9, page 618), provides for one-half acre to be used as the site for a school for colored children. The school directors for Civil District 5 during that period were identified as W. A. Rives, M. W. Goodwin [Gooden], and James H. Cocke. Both Rives and Cocke were white men.
There is little doubt that by this time Monroe W. Gooden had risen to a very prominent position in the community. The only African American Democrat elected to the Tennessee legislature in the 19th century, he represented Fayette County in the 45th General Assembly, 1887-1888. Gooden was the second black representative from Fayette County, following Republican David F. Rivers, who had served in the 43rd General Assembly. Gooden's legislative career was rather unimposing. He was appointed to the Agriculture and Federal Relations committees, and he introduced two bills: HB 360 was to pay mileage costs of witnesses in state legal cases, and HB 765 would make it a misdemeanor for candidates to be present at the counting of ballots. (It is interesting to imagine the circumstances that convinced him of the need for the latter bill.) The first bill was referred to the Finance Committee, and the second to Judiciary – both were tabled in committee and never came to the House floor for debate or vote.
From 1830 to 1980 the population of Fayette County consisted of many more African Americans than whites -- by 1865 the ratio was two to one -- yet to this day these Rivers and Gooden are the only black legislators ever elected to represent the county. Although many African American legislators have represented the city of Memphis from 1965 to the present day, Representative Johnny Shaw, elected to the 102nd General Assembly in 2001 to represent Hardeman and part of Madison County, is the first African American to represent any rural county in West Tennessee since Monroe Gooden's term ended in 1888.
A legislative biography identifies Gooden as a "farmer and ginner near Somerville, Fayette County," and lists him as a member of the Masonic order. [African American Freemasons organizations have existed in the United States since 1775, and the number of black lodges increased significantly after the Civil War.] He was also a trustee of the Williamson Chapel Missionary Baptist Church. In his pension application Gooden described himself as about 5' 8" tall and stout (about 220 pounds); he calls his complexion tone "copper," but his doctors described him as "light brown" or "yellow."
Around the time he was elected to the legislature, Monroe W. Gooden began to acquire large tracts of land. One such purchase, recorded on November 22, 1887, was for 372 acres. He bought more land in 1890 and seven years later purchased another large tract totaling over 500 acres. By the end of his life he owned at least a thousand acres, including the former Patterson plantation in the Brewer community. This property had been owned before the Civil War by General Bernard Markham Patterson (originally Patteson), another native Virginian and wealthy planter, who had also spent time in Giles County before coming to West Tennessee. At some point between 1890 and 1900 Gooden moved his family into the old Patterson plantation house, a comfortable two-story, white frame building.
The Goodens had a large number of children: Mary, Monroe J., John, James/Jim, Lillie Bell, and Willa Ola Gooden. Ann already had a son, Dempsey (Demp) Shivers, when she married Monroe Gooden; he is listed with the family in the 1880 census. Monroe W. had at least one other child as well, a son named Frank Gooden, whose mother was Mollie Coe. The 1900 census made it clear that Gooden could read and write and that he owned the farm where his family resided. The household had become quite complex by that time, now including two Gooden grand-children, Monroe's widowed sister, Ann's widowed mother, and a teen-aged farm hand.
A brief obituary of Monroe Gooden appeared in the January 22, 1915, edition of the Fayette Falcon, Somerville, Tennessee. Its reference to his failure to vote for many years attests to the impact of the Jim Crow laws that barred Southern blacks from voting after the 1890s.
Fayette county lost one of her best colored citizens on last Tuesday when Monroe J. Gooden of the fifth district, died at a ripe old age. Monroe was one of the most thrifty men of his race in the county and owned several hundred acres of good land. He lived on this land and can be counted as a good citizen. He was quiet, unpretentious, and lived in peace and harmony with his white neighbors, holding their friendship and respect. He represented Fayette county in the state legislature in 1887 and was the last negro to sit in a legislature in any of the southern states during the reconstruction times. In recent years he has taken no part in politics, never even voting for years. Many negroes could help to improve the condition and standing of their race by emulating the example of honesty and right living set by Monroe Gooden.
After his death, Monroe Gooden would be buried in the family section he had established in the Patterson cemetery, which was originally the slave burial ground on the plantation. (Tennessee death records call it the "Petterson Grave Yard.") Most of Gooden's family members are buried there with him. Nearly all the people interred at that site can trace their roots to the Patterson slaves. Several such cemeteries survive in District 5, all bearing the names of the original plantation owners. Although some are abandoned, several others, including the Patterson cemetery, are still in use today.
Monroe Gooden, along with Samuel A McElwee and Styles L. Hutchins, his two colleagues in the 45th General Assembly (1887-1888), were the last African Americans to serve in the Tennessee legislature until 1965, nearly eight decades later!

I was in the market for a bass and then I pick this bass up at a guitar shop and fell in love with it and bought right on the spot. Awesome neck, killer look, and awesome tone. I have mine in a trans black color which is a killer look. This is a perfect bass if you're looking into metal or hard rock.

Comments about Jackson JS3 Concert Electric Bass Guitar:
I own two of these. They have terrific sounds. The pickups are extremely hot and it's tone is extremely versatile for any type of music. I have run into a problem with the 4-string model E-string bridge saddle though. It doesn't stay in place, and does need readjusted from time to time. It's not a huge issue, but if you don't watch it, you will get fret buzz from the saddle sinking slowly over time.

Jamie Scibelli, Organizational Systems, Leadership and Organizational Development
Jamie ScibelliLIOS Graduate College Alumni/a
Everyone wants government to be leaner, better organized, and more efficient. But what would that look like in practice? How would that happen?
Saybrook alumna Jamie Scibelli can tell you.
Jamie is the Project Manager for the "Lean government" initiative pioneered by Washington State's Department of Labor and Industries. They're taking the processes of one of the world's most effective companies – Toyota – and figuring out how they can be applied to make government better at every level.
"What we've discovered," she says, "is that you have to train employees on how to solve problems at the lowest level. That's a real culture shock. Solving problems is typically something leaders see as their prerogative: they have been rewarded for their ability to react quickly. We have to teach them to encourage people to solve problems at every level in the organization. The leader's job is more about coaching people, developing people: teaching them to improve the processes when they see an opportunity. It's a whole different way of interacting with employees. But the payoff is that there's more ownership of the work, more connection with the customer, and a greater sense, on everybody's part, of how they fit in the strategic plan of the organization."
The project has been recognized by the governor, and is now a model for other departments. It's also something that her study at Saybrook prepared her for.
"The LIOS MA in Leadership and Organizational Development was an invaluable resource I could refer to for government transformation," she said. "I'm constantly referring back to the academics of leadership and change management, the models we applied at LIOS are great for coaching leaders. What I learned connects so perfectly to what I do."
That connection between scholarship and practice makes public service a dream job for Jamie. "This environment is really dynamic, it presents a level of challenge that's really unique for folks who choose it as a career," she said. "I'm constantly being challenged by policy, process, and people issues, and that inspires my ongoing learning. LIOS promotes lifelong learners, and I can really accomplish that in this environment."

A contoured body, comfortable set neck, flawless intonation, and innovative electronics.
The legacy of Vox-branded electric guitars goes all the way back to the early sixties. This model continues the Vox tradition of exceptionally well-playing and innovative guitars.
The Vox SDC-33 Double-Cutaway Solidbody Electric Guitar is cosmetically similar to the 55 solid-body guitars, and employs many of the same distinguished components. The 33 instruments represent a dramatic breakthrough in price for a guitar of this quality.
Carved Construction
The signature VOX 3-D contoured body of the SDC-33 ensures impeccable comfort and fatigue-free playing, offering a natural fit either seated or standing. Elegantly carved top surfaces result in a distinguished look and a comfortable playing position. Easy access to the upper frets is provided by the deeply cut inverse heel joint. Position dot markers are placed both on the fingerboard and on the side of the neck for fast reference.
Quality Components
The SDC-33 guitar uses the same MaxConnect aluminum bridge as the Virage, offering extended saddle travel for flawless intonation with any-gauge string. Strings slide in from under the back edge of the bridge to make changing strings a snap. The full contact shape and light weight combine to deliver thick, rich tone with clear, singing harmonics. VOX Super Smooth tuners offer the SDC-33 enhanced tuning stability, so you can play with confidence. The mahogany necks are topped with rosewood fingerboards.
Uncompromised Tone
33 guitars offer a deep range of tonal choices. New CoAxe pickups feature two pickup elements; each delivers a unique and sophisticated tone, yet each one remains whisper-quiet. The passive analog tone circuitry offers both a Master Volume and a Master Tone control to refine your individual sound. Logically laid out and easy to use, the controls allow fast changes during performance.
Neither a single-coil nor humbucker in the traditional sense, the CoAxe design incorporates a central row of pole-pieces encased in a high-impedance coil that's flanked by two blades. The entire construction is then surrounded by a low-impedance winding, which cancels the hum.
Chief designer Eric Kirkland says: "The basic idea is that the coils are coaxial: they're on the same plane, not stacked. The advantage is that the center sensing coil can work like a true single-coil and the outer, noise-cancelling coil is outside the magnetic field, between the central poles and the blades."

As one person already mentioned, the guitar shipped upside down. Unfortunately the person who is putting the shipping labels on these boxes is not coordinating with the person packing the boxes because the label was at the end of the box where the bottom of the body was. So that means that everyone that comes in contact with the box after the shipping label has been placed is reading the label with the guitar packed head stock down. Not too excited about that Musiciansfriend.com.
Underneath the poorly packed shipping box there was a secondary box from Vox. Once the secondary shipping box was off, I found the guitar packed very nicely in a very nice thick gig bag. For those that are not going on a world tour; the gig bag should be just fine for transporting around back and forth. If you are mindful of your gear and don't drop a 4x12 cab on this gig bag while the guitar is in it, it should be just fine.
I got the Gold top version of this guitar and it was almost flawless. There were a couple of super minor scuffs that I didn't notice till after a few minutes of strumming around.
The guitar that I got was apparently a pre 2011 model because my guitar came with the strap button on the back of the upper horn not on the tip of the upper horn as the ones that are built from 2011 and on. The guitars that were built from 2011 (don't quote me on this) and on had Strap Button Extension System (SBE) installed from the factory.
The good news was I was able to call up KORG (they oversee customer support for VOX in the US) and they were able to provide a SBE system free of charge and included full instructions on installation.
The SBE helps the neck dive issue but then again the neck dive issue wasn't that bad in my opinion without the SBE system. Some reviewers made it seem like if you let go of the neck of the guitar it would fire its self into the center of the earth or something. It just goes down and stops when the guitar is about level or maybe a smidgins below that. If you have your hand on the neck and use your strumming hand to hold the body of the guitar in the position that you need, you should be fine with the "neck dive" issue.
The factory setup on my guitar was terrible. The very fact that this made it out of the factory was absolutely unbelievable to me. After changing the strings to the gauge that I like and after a neck adjustment and after tightening down the machine head screws and after an intonation job and after a pickup height adjustment and after a string height adjustment; I was able to get the guitar properly setup. While I was contemplating buying this guitar I did some research on YouTube and noticed that there was a lot of fret noise on the guitars that people were demoing. Despite them demoing the guitar on cranked amps you could clearly hear that the action was way too low for that person's strumming style. I'm thinking that others had a similar issue as I initially did and never setup the guitar so you get that fret rattle in there when you strum. One other reviewer said that due to the thin body and over all weight of the guitar you could hear a tremolo sound as the strings vibrated....ok...I could hear something faintly but I'm going to attribute it to a bad setup as the more I fiddled with the setup the more that tremolo sound went away to the point that its indistinguishable.
The guitar sounds pretty decent. One thing that I noticed is that when the volume is on 10 the pickups produce their own distortion. It's intriguingly good sounding. I have never had pickups that did that. I found that playing on about 7-8 was the sweet spot for me, and the tone knobs seemed to stay on 10 despite the pickup selection.
The pickups were indeed dead silent in every pickup position.
I personally didn't notice that much difference (there is a difference but not much) between the P90 setting or the Humbucker setting. However within each master setting (P90 or HB) you could hear a distinct difference between the various pickup combinations that you could select from on the 3 position toggle switch.
The clean sound that this guitar produces is quite possibly one of the best clean sounds I have ever heard. Very articulate and with a clarity that you just do not find on other guitars.
The distorted tones that this guitar produced I found to be a bit on the bassy side in the middle and upper toggle switch setting but then again the model guitar that I have is mahogany top and mahogany back and neck which produces a deeper sound overall. The distorted tones are really usable though and with a bit of amp tweaking you can find what you like in any of the pickup positions.
For those of you that watched the review done by Murph from Sonicstate on YouTube he said a very interesting line; "it takes a while to get used to a guitar", referring to knowing how it will react in certain situations what pedals to press when you want to get a certain sound.
I believe this guitar is very much like that; it takes a while to get used to but once you've got the hang of it and once you get in some live rehearsal situations you will be able to see that this guitar is quite versatile and very good sounding.
My overall opinion is that this is the kind of guitar that you purchase after you already have a Gibson Les Paul and after you've got a Fender Stratocaster. That's not to knock any other brand or to say that the two referenced above are the all in all in rock music, I'm just saying that this would not be my first choice if I was looking to go out and purchase my first guitar. That's not to say that if one wanted this to be their first guitar that they would be unhappy...I just think that this particular guitar is better suited to the middle advanced to advanced guitar player that can get this guitar sounding its best in every situation.
Once properly setup this guitar is in deed a great guitar and will provide a massive amount of usefulness in the right hands.

I've been playing for over 30 years and have had dozens of guitars over the years so my evaluation comes from some experience. This is a good guitar that almost makes it but not quite. it went back to musicians friend and heres why.
First the positives. This is an extraorinarily well built guitar with superb fit and finish albeit a few minor issues. it has a nice amount of proprietary parts so it really is very interesting = not the same old thing. The guitar is just stunning in black and the finish was just perfectly applied. The tuners are some of the best I have ever seen. The nut was cut perfectly. The frets were level and crowned perfectly. The electronics all worked well (more on the sound below). The component parts were truly high quality. The build was great. So why did I send it back?
Basically the pickups were just flat sounding. They were ok clean but without the midrange growl p90's should have. overdriven they were just lifeless. I found the tones completely uninspiring. And believe me I tried everything including most importantly adjusting the pick up height. I really wanted these pickups to work. I LOVE p90's. There is nothing better than what p90's have to offer tonally but sometimes live as with any single coil pickup one can run into issues. I thought this would be the solution. Sadly it was not. These picups were so inspiring that my choice was to pull the pickups or just send back. I chose the latter. Here are some other reasons that led me to that choice. Fret ends were sharp, set up was poor, brigde a bit awkward for palm muting and finally the straw that broke the camels back.... The guitar is a bit neck heavy. I could not play this thing at a gig without significant fatigue. I might have just pulled the pickups and kept the guitar as the build was so beautiful if it were not for this issue that could not be fixed
I will add finally that this guitar was tested through a gibson goldtone all tube combo. Hard to find a better sounding amp for testing any guitar

This is a great guitar, it was on sale when I got it and I could not be happier. I had to do some setup once I unboxed it so be prepared for that. Take it to someone who knows what they are doing if you do not know how to set it up yourself. Overall this is a ROCKING guitar with awesome sound. I own several guitars from fender tele to gibson LP and this baby holds its own. It is a beautiful guitar and very comfortable to play. 5 stars for sure!! Thanks VOX and Musician's Friend!

Comments about Vox SDC-33 Double-Cutaway Solidbody Electric Guitar:
For the sale price, this is a great guitar if you can do your own set up. When I took it out of the box, I was immediately impressed with the construction quality and the finish. Also, the sound is good. But the guitar was UNPLAYABLE out of the box. The action was set WAY too high. And the truss rod was not adjusted properly. Ok, these are easy fixes if you know how. But once I made the adjustments, I found that there were several high frets. So fret leveling was required. I suspect that is the source of the fret buzz that others have mentioned. If you get beyond these negative points, you will have a great guitar for the money. But be prepared to put either some effort or some money into it to get it in shape.

Comments about Vox SDC-33 Double-Cutaway Solidbody Electric Guitar:
Among the MANY Guitars (SG, LPs, Strats, V, Explorer, more...) that I have previously owned and own tonally (if there is such a word) this Vox Guitar is my favorite. I can get all the classic Tele, LP, Strat sounds out of this guitar. I have found that this makes it really fun to practice with because click click and I have a completely different tone set coming out of the amp which keeps my ear sharp and focused.
The finish is beautiful, but mine did come with some cosmetic issues with the finish on the back of the neck. I thought about returning it, but after plugging it in and hearing the guitar I did not want to take a chance that the next one would not sound this great (I suspect that it would have, but still). The neck is comfortable and fast, and the guitar fits comfortably against my body when playing, but the tone truly is the factor that sets this guitar apart for me. I am very happy with the purchase and have recommended it to a couple of friends as a great gig guitar. (First time I have thought a guitar was unique enough that I have recommended one to friends).

Six great tones that are GREAT for clean-- even make my Pro Jr clean-- but haven't tried any cranky tones yet. It's so well built, that if VOX keeps this up, they'll once again be known not only for AMPS, but GUITARS, too. I don't like the factory fix for "neck dive" on this one-- not all of them have it-- but it's still a guitar well worth double the money. Triple! Liked it so much I ordered another. And got me interested in their amps again, after a LOT of years.

Comments about Vox SDC-33 Double-Cutaway Solidbody Electric Guitar:
The quality of this guitar is much better than I expected. Occasionally guitars in this price range are borderline useless. Not so with this baby. Everything is right-on. Fit and finish are excellent, set-up was minimal, and the brushed aluminum-like tuning buttons are awesome looking with an unusual design. The guitar feels great in your hands and the contour body rests nicely against your body. I own several electric guitars and some were very expensive, but I can't compare this to any of them because of the co-axial pickups. They are a little different sounding. Good for any kind of music but with a sound all their own. They are also very, very QUIET! No humming whatsoever. I can't imagine anyone not loving this guitar. It offers a lot, especially at this price point.

Comments about Vox SDC-33 Double-Cutaway Solidbody Electric Guitar:
I picked this up "gently used", and got an incredible deal. The red finish is MUCH nicer than in the site photo -- more line a deep candy red. It's a very comfortable axe to play, as others have said, very light. Also versatile sound (more single coil than HB) and has a distinct, woody voice with great resonance. No noise in any position. Keeps definition when distorted, sounds great clean. A slight back bow in the neck explains the fret rattle some have noted, mine had it too, I tuned to open A with a set of 11s and the problem went away. I use mine for slide, it rings. If you like double cut axes you won't find a better value, including the low-end Gibsons. Unlike a Gibson Tribute I recently got through a trade, the Vox needs no mods to go on stage. It's a great piece to have in my collection alongside my (mainly) Reverends. If I only had one guitar, I'd be glad to have one as good as this.

Comments about Vox SDC-33 Double-Cutaway Solidbody Electric Guitar:
I feel compelled to write a second review on this guitar. I really disliked the first one I owned and this is reflected in my review. Well I ended up buying a second basically as it was a broken class 4 which I bought for very little. My thought was to pull the pickups after repair as I did like the body and neck on the first one I owned. It was the sound I hated. Well what a surprise this guitar is completely different in sound than the first. All because of body wood. My first one had a full mahogony body. It sounded flat with the vox pickups. My second one was a maple top (actually looks like ash not maple but the website notes maple). What a difference!! The coaxial pickups are bright and dynamic. Really not p90 sounding but a sound all their own. somewhere between a p90 and a mini humbucker in sound. Who says wood choice does not make a difference.
Bottom line is that this is a very well made guitar with solid nice sounding pickups. It is a bit neck heavy but who cares for the price they are selling these at. Just don't buy the black mahogony. Repeat - Don't buy the black mahogony

Comments about Vox SDC-33 Double-Cutaway Solidbody Electric Guitar:
This is as an addendum to my review of 2/23/2013.
The guitar's neck heaviness is something I hadn't taken note of until it was too late to send the guitar back (though I don't know that I would have since it's an incredibly well-built machine for the price). This issue applies particularly to playing while standing.
In utilizing an Ernie Ball 2" Poly Guitar Strap against bare skin I noted that the neck won't drop as easily as it would with the strap on a T-shirt. But how often is a guy going to play topless?
I found that a 2-1/2" wide leather strap will significantly reduce the potential for neck drop, though not entirely.
Thus, it would seem that the most logical means by which to resolve the issue is a counterweight of some sort applied to the butt end of the guitar strap and weighing perhaps 5-6 ounces. (I say "5-6" after clipping to my 2" poly guitar strap a tactical knife spec'd at 3.6 ounces, which wasn't quite enough to balance things out.)
A couple additional notes:
Some guitarists might find the bridge to be a bit uncomfortable against the palm. You would have to try it out for yourself to determine whether it would be a problem for you.
The CoAxe pickups are what they are; you either like them or you don't. They provide clear, distinct, heavy tone with clarity and a wide range of tonal variation.
I actually enjoy the VOX SDC-22 more, but the SDC-33 has its place both where style and tone are concerned. It also comes with a better gig bag.

When it comes to solid-colored denim, dark denim's held the title of "Most Desirable" for a number of years, but it's finally time to lighten up. Pale denim dominated the Resort 13 runways, and though the trend's inherently light and casual, it's not just for a warm-weather repertoire. In fact, this Look We Love incorporates a touch of spring into your winter wardrobe starting now, and offers a look that's chic but still seasonally appropriate. For a cool spin on an all-American classic, read on for our picks and add a pale denim piece to your arsenal today!On The Runway
The pale denim featured in so many Resort 13 collections was executed in edgy, modern cuts, making the trend feel decidedly current. Case in point: Derek Lam's strong Pale Denim Cropped Utility Jacket ($1290) layered over the boxy Indigo Tweed Sleeveless Dress With Pale Denim And Silver Jacquard Trim ($1990) or Givenchy's batwing button-down and knee-length shorts. Balmain also experimented with silhouettes, tucking a short-sleeve Denim Shirt ($1050) into high-waisted, pleat-front Denim Pants ($1050). The outcome? Pale pieces that looked lived-in but not outdated.
On Celebrities
It comes as no surprise that celebrities and tastemakers sought out stylish denim renditions as well. At an event in October feting the Maison Martin Margiela x H&M collaboration in New York, Maryna Linchuk wore several pieces from the coveted collection: the Flat Waistcoat ($299), 5-Pocket Oversized Jeans ($70), Glove Bag ($149), and Sneakers ($129). Choosing a pair of baggy trousers in a light wash, rather than standard skinny jeans, lent fashion-forward flair to the model's suede jacket and t-shirt. That same month at the 20th Hamptons International Film Festival, Bella Heathcote channeled a slightly more sophisticated look in Chanel's Versaille Cotton Toile Dress ($6222) from the Resort 13 collection. Rendered in pale denim, the dress' ladylike silhouette--nipped-in waist, flared skirt, high collar--exudes a chic downtown vibe.
On You/Tops & Pants
Pale denim is such a versatile look that it's quite simple to incorporate into your wardrobe. Start with the basics, like American Apparel's Unisex Denim Long Sleeve Button-Up ($64) in Light Wash Indigo or GUESS' Brittney Skinny Jeans with Floral Back Pockets ($108). Each is a classic piece (you may already own one in a darker wash) that goes with just about anything. If you seek an intriguing twist on the timeless jean jacket, try Denim Refinery's The Leopard Print Levi's Jacket ($195).
On You/Dresses & Skirts
Those with more feminine sensibilities may want to check out J Brand/Christopher Kane's Stretch-Denim Dress ($486) or Surface to Air's Melia Denim Skirt ($170). However, it's important to note that these pieces are imbued with a toughened-up, city charm, thanks to bold buttons and detailed seaming, so contrast the look with boyish oxfords or a playful cashmere sweater.
On You/Accessories
Nothing evokes the '80s like acid-wash denim, so we simply had to include Deena & Ozzy's Acid Wash Backpack ($42) in the mix. Sling this roomy carryall over your shoulder, but avoid looking like you just stepped off the Saved by the Bell set by wearing it with of-the-moment pieces, like a utility jacket or polished blazer.
On You/Beauty
Here's a novel way you can interpret the pale denim trend: Dior's 5-Colour Designer All-in-One Artistry Palette ($59) in Navy. The compact boasts five different shades of subtly iridescent blue shadow, perfect for shaking up your daily beauty routine.--Tiffany Tse

South Lewis finally has its first Frontier League volleyball banner to display on the schools gym wall.
The Falcons had never won a regular-season or tournament title in the history of their volleyball program. On Saturday, South Lewis defeated Sandy Creek to claim the treasured white banner with the blue lettering and bright red trim.
The accomplishment topped off an exciting season of firsts and bests and hopes for more good things to come over the next two weeks.
We have been working so hard, South Lewis middle hitter Liz Egnew said. Its so nice to see all of it pay off.
South Lewis has also broken a slew of school records this season, and it has finally beaten perennial power Beaver River for the first time.
We have such a close team, outside hitter Gabby Hartley said. I dont think it would have happened if we didnt have such a close relationship with everyone. Its amazing.
The Falcons entered the league playoffs as the No. 4 seed and upset regular-season co-champions Lowville and Sandy Creek en route to their first league tournament title.
South Lewis lost twice to Sandy Creek during the season but defeated the Comets in just three games in the finals.
Weve been working really hard on our strategic methods, instead of just going up and hitting a ball, Egnew said. Weve been watching a lot of film, studied, did our homework and practiced.
The Falcons also won the sportsmanship award, presented by the officials at the league championships.
Its such a great feeling, South Lewis coach Ashley Gino said. Everyone is rooting for us. Its meant a lot.
She credits the leadership of her five seniors Egnew, Hartley, Heather Bates, Tasha Ortlieb and Megan Hoffert for the teams success. Last year, Gino took them aside and started to prepare the girls for their final high school campaign.
I met with them as soon as we knew our season was complete, Gino said. And I told them from here on out your future of your senior year starts now, and what you guys do with this team is up to you, but the leadership is whats going to determine your success.
The senior leaders have responded.
They by far are the reason this team is successful, Gino said. When we do get down, they are the glue that puts it back together. Because they know the game, I dont have to micromanage the team. They study film religiously, they ask me for film, they take it home and watch it together as a team.
The Falcons do have underclassmen playing crucial roles this season, including junior libero Jayne Strigle, junior Marissa Brown and sophomore Chloe Stinebrickner.
Jayne was pulled up (to varsity) and started as a freshman, Gino said. Shes right there with that senior group, pulling everyone along. Chloe filled in a huge gap with our setting, and Marissa filled in the other middle spot, so those girls definitely filled in huge holes.
Egnew, Bates, Strigle and Stinebrickner have been wreaking havoc with the school records.
Theyve demolished the record board this season, Gino said.
Egnew set records for kills and aces, while Bates holds several serving records. Strigle set records for digs last year and has been breaking her own marks this season. Stinebrickner holds all the school records for assists, which were set by 2012 graduate Jennifer Strigle.
The Falcons are learning how to put enough power behind the ball while maintaining control. Its a balancing act.
We need to control what happens on our side of the net, Gino said.
Sometimes we try to be a hero, and then we end up with too many unforced errors and lose it, Gino said. And then we try to go too safe and we dont put enough pressure on opponents and they hit the ball too hard at us. So we said we have to go in with as much pressure with controlling those unforced errors.
The team is also discovering they can maintain mental toughness during close, nerve-wracking matchups.
You cant freak out, Hartley said. You need to stay calm and work on getting your ball over, your hits in the right places.
The Falcons now have their sights set on a gold Section 3 banner with blue letters and trim. South Lewis (14-5) is the No. 4 seed in the Class C-1 bracket and is scheduled to host No. 5 Pulaski in the quarterfinals at 6:30 tonight at Turin. No. 6 Beaver River travels to third-seeded Lowville for another quarterfinal match.
In todays Class C-2 quarterfinals, No. 2 Sandy Creek is scheduled to host No. 7 Fabius-Pompey at 6.
In Class A quarterfinals, No. 4 Carthage (13-4) hosts No. 5 New Hartford (9-4) at 6 tonight, while No. 6 Watertown travels to third-seeded Oneida for a 6 p.m. match.
Class B quarterfinal matchups include No. 6 Jordan-Elbridge (10-7) at third-seeded South Jefferson (13-3) at 6 p.m. in Adams. No. 9 Altmar-Parish-Williamstown (8-12) was eliminated Tuesday in a first-round game at No. 8 Sherburne-Earlville (8-9), which won, 3-2.
The Section 3 boys swimming championships begin this week with diving scheduled for Saturday. Class A will compete at Liverpool, while Classes B and C are at Mexico Academy.
The Class B swimming events will be 5 p.m. Wednesday at Rome Free Academy. Class A is set for 5 p.m. next Thursday at RFA, while Class C is 5:30 p.m. at New Hartford.
Malone senior Conor Gordon, who won the Section 10 Class B cross country individual championship last fall, will attend NCAA Division II Lake Erie College in Painesville, Ohio, in the fall.
Gordon finished 60th in Class B at the state cross country meet. Hes also the defending Section 10 outdoor champ in the 1,600- and 3,200-meter runs.

Talk about terrible timing!
The day after Barack Obama takes his oath of office, the trailer for a movie where the President is kidnapped and the First Lady dies is released.
Titled "Olympus Has Fallen," the action film depicts a siege on Washington D.C. and a terrorist attack on the White House (codenamed Olympus after the home of the Greek gods). Check out the trailer below:
When the fictional President (Aaron Eckhart) is taken hostage by a terrorist (Rick Yune), disgraced former agent Mike Banning (a fit-looking Gerard Butler) is called back into service. Unfortunately, Banning is still haunted by the death of the First Lady (Ashley Judd), whom he could not save after a car accident.
"Olympus Has Fallen" includes other great actors -- namely Morgan Freeman and Angela Bassett -- but the timing of the trailer and some of the imagery gives us pause.
Shots of planes crashing into the National Mall and a helicopter hitting the White House hearken back to 9/11. And this isn't the only movie with this plot. "White House Down," starring Channing Tatum, is also slated for release.
"Olympus Has Fallen" opens March 22, 2013.

American Radical: The Trials of Norman Finkelstein
"American Radical" is a probing, definitive documentary about American academic Norman Finkelstein. A devoted son of holocaust survivors, ardent critic of Isreal and US Mid-East policy, and author of five provocative books including "The Holocaust Industry". Finkelstein has been steadfast at the center of many intractable controversies, including his recent denial of tenure at DePaul University. Called a lunatic and disgusting self-hating Jew by some, and an inspirational street-fighting revolutionary by others, Finkelstein is a deeply polarizing figure whose struggles arise from core questions about freedom, identity and nationhood.
