1. MMO "veteran"
2. MMO forum-poster or forum-lurker
3. MMO armchair designer
4. MMO developer (hobbyist or actual)
5. MMO blogger
So, basically, if you have an opinion about MMO design (rather than just playing them) -- take this survey. It's 4 questions and takes 30 seconds.
I'm taking a software business class, and I'd like to hear your opinions: this is a survey about at what point you're willing to try new MMOs at all. Afterwards, drop a comment to join the discussion.
The Models:
- Subscription required to try
- Free 30-day trial
- Free unlimited-time trial
- Completely free-to-play
- What do MMO veterans, forum-goers, and bloggers (i.e. Not-your-average-gamer) see as the maximum barrier to entry to even try an MMO in the first place?
- Just how big is the gap between Free unlimited-time trials, and Free-to-play for you? If there is a gap, why does it matter to you?

Music can be a wonderfully effective teaching tool for preschool aged children. My Jewish World guides teachers through the process of introducing and utilizing song in the classroom to teach Jewish values.
In her comprehensive and easy to follow book, Judy Caplan Ginsburgh includes twenty-six songs, religious and secular, that will help to facilitate an environment of fun and learning. Each song addresses important Jewish concepts and many use Hebrew words and prayers. Judy provides comments, activities, and creative ideas, specific for each song, which can be used in the classroom to learn about being Jewish every day. The importance of saying the Sh'ma each morning, learning the Hebrew words for colors, understanding body parts, and the value of cooperation are only some of the Jewish concepts touched on in the book.
In addition, Judy Ginsburgh includes a list of suggested books for many of the topics. These books help to reinforce and expand the lessons laid out in the curriculum.
With a helpful glossary of Hebrew and Yiddish terms and the companion music CD, My Jewish World is a wonderful guide to making music significant in the Jewish classroom.

Sno-park snow depths:
Virginia Meissner: 2-3 feet
Wanoga: 2-3 feet (rough, bumpy, no grooming going on at this point)
Swampy Lakes: 3-4 feet of snow
Edison Butte: 2-3 feet (adequate at the higher elevations for snowshoeing and skiing; snowmobiles are advised of low-snow hazards)
Dutchman Flat: 4-5 feet — potential for low-snow hazards (rocks, logs stumps)
Accessibility notes:
*Grooming is being done at Wanoga, Virginia Meissner, Upper Three Creek Lake sno-parks.
* The Pole Creek Fire caused a fairly extensive closure for public safety, which continues through the winter because of potential hazards from falling trees. That closure includes much of the nordic system out of Upper Three Creek, as well as the snowmobile trails leading out of the sno-park to the west and north, which includes the trails to the McKenzie and Santiam passes. The Three Creek Nordic Trail that goes out to the Jeff View shelter is open.
* Expecting fairly high use over the next couple of weeks, with locals and non-locals alike. Sno-parks can fill up on the weekend. Parking may be limited.
Safety notes:
* We should have some pretty good opportunities for snow play activity. We always recommend that people wear helmets for sledding and tubing. Be sure to read through the rules of the slope.
* Low-snow hazards abound on mid- and low-elevation trails. Without a firm base of snow, new snow can create fluffy conditions that obscure but do not fully cover rocks, logs, stumps, etc.
* More snowfall is expected over the weekend. Getting around can be challenging on skis, snowshoes and snowmobiles when visibility is obscured by heavy snowfall and/or signs covered in snow.
* Avalanche danger: The instability of the snowpack can increase during a heavy snowfall period. Do an avalanche assessment before jumping into avalanche terrain. Avoid a slope if there's any doubt or if the assessment says it's not a good day to ride.

This week's return of a live local afternoon talk show to WOWO's airwaves was more than just the latest programming change. It also represented an olive branch of sorts – and an effort to reconnect with listeners alienated by recent efforts to broaden the appeal a station acknowledged as one of Fort Wayne's leading voices since 1925.
"When you have a certain brand, you're expected to deliver on it," said Mark DePrez, chief executive officer for Federated Media, WOWO's parent company. "When we changed from Pat Miller to Gregg Henson, maybe we overcorrected. So we are trying to rebuild bridges (with listeners)."
Whether this week's audition by 2011 Republican city clerk candidate Zach Bonahoom or the coming stint by 2007 GOP mayoral hopeful Matt Kelty can broker a truce with conservatives who openly declared war on WOWO following Miller's departure last month remains to be seen. But whatever the response, DePrez is certain of one thing:
Even though WOWO's conservative core will remain, its approach must change.
"Eighty percent of the (radio) audience never goes to AM," DePrez said, explaining why the company in March began to simulcast WOWO's AM signal on a sister FM station. DePrez and Henson, who is also WOWO's programming director, said they wanted Miller to change his format – which was heavy on conservative politics, religion and social causes – in order to attract a broader, younger audience. When that didn't happen, the more moderate Henson stepped in.
And conservative listeners started tuning out and contacting advertisers – especially after Henson responded to what DePrez called "vicious and relentless" criticism by lashing out on the air at individuals he considered responsible for the backlash.
"(Henson) crossed the line and used poor judgment. I could see what a toll it was taking on him," DePrez said, explaining his decision to remove Henson from the air June 8, replacing him with conservative Sean Hannity's syndicated program.
Miller, whose show had been relegated to Saturday mornings, was also out. "I felt he could have put a stop to a lot of what was happening had he spoken up," DePrez said.
And that's where things stayed until this week, when DePrez' realization that WOWO has an "overriding responsibility to offer live, unique local programming" produced an on-air competition for Miller's old job between two men of unquestioned conservative pedigree but vastly different styles.
For Kelty, whose audition will begin July 5 and conclude the following week, it will mark his first major foray into the public eye since his unsuccessfully campaign against Mayor Tom Henry and his subsequent decision to plead guilty to three charges linked to campaign-finance violations.
Both DePrez and Kelty, an architect who suggested himself as a possible replacement for Miller, know the incident is likely to come up. In fact, it'll probably make for good radio.
"I made a mistake, but it's all about what I can accomplish moving forward. I'm 47 and been through interesting experiences, and that will serve me well (on radio)," Kelty said. "My show will be high-energy, very informative and a lot of fun."
But while the devoutly Catholic Kelty would in some ways seem to duplicate the very "evangelical" approach DePrez and Henson wanted Miller to downplay, Bonahoom – who was approached by Deprez – epitomizes WOWO's desire to modernize its traditional conservative message.
"They're trying to find a younger demographic," said the 23-year-old Bonahoom, whose show has focused on politics but next week will expand into business, popular culture and a philosophically diverse lineup of guests.
"And Zach has really been generating awareness (about the show) using social media," said DePrez, noting that public reaction and his own "gut feeling" will help determine which man gets the job and which is used as a fill-in.
DePrez said Henson may return to the air in some capacity as well, since his departure was also criticized by listeners, some of whom complained he had been driven out by "evangelical nut jobs."
DePrez knows that change should have come more slowly than it did and knows he must do what he can to repair the damage. That's because, icon or not, WOWO is first and foremost a business. Miller's show wasn't generating the desired revenue, DePrez said, so a change was made. That change didn't work, so another is underway.
And if neither Bonahoom nor Kelty work out, something else will be tried. In the end, the market will decide. Conservatives, of all people, should want it that way.
Just as DePrez and Henson, despite the unfortunate comments on both sides, should be thankful so many people care enough about WOWO to get passionate about what it does.

Natural Hair Nazis
Since I talked about natural hair mainstreaming, I will talk about the downside of the natural hair community. There is a certain perception inside and outside of the community on where you stand politically, fashion wise, or otherwise.
There are also stereotypes about your "blackness". Many naturals I know are interracially married, but that doesn't mean the whole natural movement is supportive of such unions. There is a tone of "I love black men!" movement, which there is definitely nothing wrong with, but I know on certain sites, if I proclaimed "I love white men!", I would not be welcomed with open arms. Case and point, I went to one of my many hair boards and a question off topic was about a woman preparing for her wedding. She is engaged to a white guy, but she wants to "jump the broom" as part of the wedding ceremony. I say she is black, it is part of her heritage, she should be able to do it, and it isn't uncommon for people of two different cultures to incorporate some of their traditions into the ceremony. To some it seemed like a slap in the face of our ancestors to jump the broom with a white guy.
There seems to be a strong identification of blackness and strong black love amongst many naturals. I am not against black love, without black love I wouldn't be here, but it would be nice to feel welcome and loved in the natural hair community because, like others I can relate to the struggle of being natural in a culture that embraces long, straight, and silky. I know most naturals have those stories about folks asking when they will get their hair done, or how they look so much better when they decide to straighten their hair. I know we all have stories about learning how to handle our hair in a natural state, or learning why the Pink Oil Lotion and Blue Magic don't work as well and stink to high heaven. We all learned how vastly different our hair can be, and that there is more ways to style our hair outside the afro.
I understand that embracing our hair in a natural state is important, but it shouldn't lead to group think. Our hair is unique and so should our thoughts.

How much of this do you think comes from black culture's exclusiveness (as opposed to inclusiveness). So much of what is viewed as black culture springs from opposition, so when it is being celebrated, or participated in, by one representing that historical opposition, it is seen as an affront.
There is an idea in mainstream thought that when it comes to black or white, loving one must mean hating the other. - August 26, 2009 at 8:39 PM
I don't understand natural hair Nazi who act like you just have to use all natural products yet they are fat. I am like you should be eating natural foods too

How much of this do you think comes from black culture's exclusiveness (as opposed to inclusiveness).
I don't know if black culture is exclusive, I think it has been excluded, and I think aspects of it have been taken and adopted by other cultures without acknowledgement.
I do think though there has over time been a barometer of blackness applied to folks because we have fallen victim to our own stereotypes, which is why you see people who don't necessarily embrace those stereotypes get rejected. I think at times, it is seen as an affront to openly allow someone of another race to embrace our culture or traditions, because historically our culture and traditions haven't been received with open arms by the mainstream culture.
I think being natural is a process. I went back to being veg a few years back and it had everything to do with me being obsessed with only using natural products in my hair. I mean you have to wonder if certain chemicals make your hair react a certain way, they must do something to the body. I still partake in Nutella and Captain Crunch though. I will not lie, but natural isn't about being fat or skinny, but rather being accepted as is, without fear of limiting your social life or career opportunities. - August 26, 2009 at 9:12 PM

Okay I was going to make a comment about your post until you mentioned Nutella. That totally distracted me! I love that stuff but I've been "off it" for about a year now.
Whew, I think I'm getting the shakes. - August 26, 2009 at 10:01 PM
Interestingly enough, most of the natural bloggers that I read have white husbands or date interracial so maybe the tide is turning. But then again, I have a very low tolerance for people who speak negatively about black people, i.e. bad hair, good hair, nice eyes, nappy, etc.
I have noticed that some of the women who do sport naturals, and I am specifically speaking about fros, are more of the "granola" types. I really can't say that for locs for I have seen everyone from porn stars to debutantes sport locks so it's not really the same.
So there is an air of naturalness, organic clothes and food (which I fully support BTW), and minimal dazzle. It's like you are moving into a lifestyle. I long for the day when the fro is just a hairstyle and not a political statement. - August 27, 2009 at 9:05 AM

That isn't true though, there are many naturals who aren't granola. I happen to be "granola", but I was "granola" when I was rocking perm. I will also say because one is "granola" does not mean they have thrown fashion out the window. I think for me, I avoid wearing "labels". Folks don't need to know how much miscellaneous income I have, and I sure as hell don't need to pay to advertise some company's stuff, unless they are breaking me off a piece of that revenue. That's me though.
I keep it fashionable and granola. I heart Etsy, because I like wearing clothes that not everyone and their mother has because it is mass produced by children in some 3rd world nation.But that is how I roll. - August 27, 2009 at 9:14 AM

Just because we are natural doesn't mean we all look like hot ass and wear birkenstocks.

I think it is ridiculous to attempt to tell folks how they have to be natural. You cannot put heat in your hair or it is not natural, I have heard that a couple of times. That is CRAZY. I wear my hair in a twa at present and I love it, but if I decide after it gets some length to go and get it flat ironed for a while, that is my choice, and YES it is stil natural to me.
I think in a rush to accept the otherness that we can have, that very few other groups can participate in w/us we create a lot of rules and regs for it to make it exclusive. Our hair also became a big deal because some of us learned to love the very thing that was held out for the longest time to be a hindrance in being truly, authentically beautiful our OWN hair texture with no chemicals added. Right now some are very protective of that new feeling and they are going a bit overboard. We have so little that we can own that is ours alone.
I feel like you do Siddity in regards to the fact that EVERYONE takes from AA culture that which is wonderful: music, art, language, literature, slang etc., but there is a refusal to honestly acknowledge those adoptions. Often and esp. in the past, our culture and traditions are not displayed positively, they are ridiculed, and often misunderstood. Some look at our ability to laugh and try to enjoy life despite our incredible dismal odds over the yrs. for example to mean that we were/are stupid and childish. A lot of AA's have decided, esp after the recent CNN Black in America debacle to just keep their way of life to themselves because when others try to define AA's it is usually with a few very narrow definitions that are rather stereotypical. - August 27, 2009 at 9:43 AM
Well, when you look at the fact that most black men and women aren't keen on interracial relationships between black women and white men, it makes sense.
If being natural means getting back to black roots, then obviously is doesn't mean dating a white person. - August 27, 2009 at 10:40 AM

@Enigma, co-sign. You are sooo right, especially when you re-iterate Sid's excellent point that so much of "our" stuff gets co-opted by others without celebrating us and our culture. Even now that many white women are making themselves look silly with puffy lips, and butt implants, but for so long our larger lips and butts were looked at with disdain (well except when they wore those crazy bustles in the 18th c and they still didn't credit us with that then).
- August 27, 2009 at 11:16 AM
Geez, this is going to be a long afternoon. I eat organically and don't wear labels either--I refuse to be a walking billboard. I'm not what you would call Flashy in the least but you would also never call me granola either. Maybe one of the reasons could be because I'm allergic to nuts/sesame seeds therefore I can't eat anything that remotely looks like granola but I always strive to eat healthily. Because of my allergy, I typically have to stay away from many health food stores because they put nuts in everything, this includes a lot of "natural" skin and hair products that substitute many oils with almond oil. Back to the main point.
Again, this is what I have seen in NYC. I see more diversity (in people and styles)in locs than I do with fros. That is not to say there isn't diversity in the people who wear fros, I am just commenting on what I have seen on the street, in the train, etc. Granola does not necessarily mean "hot ass" or birkenstock wearers, just closer to nature in dress and style; however, I would never be caught dead in birkenstocks, crocs, or tevas--I don't care how comfortable they are. I love going camping but and canoeing but never in that footwear.
The goal for me is to have more people with Fros not less. Inevitably there will be more diversity in the "fro community," when that happens. And with diversity will come more discussions about what is termed "acceptable/appropriate/Natural." Honestly I can't wait. I find discussions like this fascinating. - August 27, 2009 at 12:18 PM

Great post! I agree that some black people have fallen victim to stereoptypes - I wear my hair natural and don't really eat granola unless it is coated with chocolate, but I do own a pair of birkenstocks - lol
But I have learned from writing articles that there are some people who just wake up in the morning and search blogs/articles for 'trigger' words so they can go on a tangent of negativity - and for some reason this amuses them. - August 27, 2009 at 1:12 PM
- Grata said...
Yeah that is a new one. I didn't realize people took natural hair that far.
I do however link natural hair with one's comfort with the way they were created and weaves as one being seriously delusional. But that is where it ends. Attaching natural hair to Black Militant culture is going overboard to me. Though I guess they can defend their position. - August 27, 2009 at 4:09 PM
I feel like I'm being silenced in this area so if you don't want me to participate in this discussion then I won't but I think this is conversation that involves me, my friends, my family and hopefully one day my children. I think we are all after the same goal, we just have different way of getting to that finish line.
My style is what I would consider classic/timeless. For example, I still wear clothes that I bought when I was 19years old, ten plus year ago. I update those items with accessories. That doesn't mean my style is better than those who are trendy, hipster, nature enthusiast, athletic or preppy. It's just different. I do own a set of pearls but I wouldn't wear it with an argyle sweater because then you have a preppy outfit, not me.
"Granola" wasn't meant to offend or degrade anyone. But I must say, if Granola offends but calling someone a Natural Hair Nazi doesn't well, I have a lot to learn.
BTW BlackChick, that article was amazing and certainly appropriate. - August 27, 2009 at 4:49 PM

This is so very true!!!! I feel that many of us come from a place of excitement at discovering that there is nothing wrong with natural hair, because all of our lives, we had been told otherwise.
Even now that many white women are making themselves look silly with puffy lips, and butt implants, but for so long our larger lips and butts were looked at with disdain (well except when they wore those crazy bustles in the 18th c and they still didn't credit us with that then).
I was told as a child by more than a few white kids I had greasy chicken eating lips. Memories. That and big butts were disgusting. I'm glad my husband disagrees.
I'm going to go back to the Is Natural Hair Mainstreaming post, because you said something similar there.
One of the issues is that most of the women I see with natural hair, aren't very stylish. Meaning, they are content to wear Old Navy t-shirts and baggy khakis and tevas. They are usually natural to the bone, no makeup, no nail polish and if they have a natural hair style it looks unkempt. Not all, just some of the ones I see. Also those women tend to be older and have a much different set of priorities than I.
When you say this, you aren't saying folks are different, you are saying they look unkempt and aren't stylish. No matter how much you backtrack, that comes off insulting to folks with natural hair.
Great post! I agree that some black people have fallen victim to stereoptypes - I wear my hair natural and don't really eat granola unless it is coated with chocolate, but I do own a pair of birkenstocks - lol
LOL I am not going to lie in high school birkenstocks were considered cool amongst my set, but it wasn't a matter of natural heads, these were white kids LOL

I think we are all after the same goal, we just have different way of getting to that finish line.
Disagreement in no way means silenced. I was insulted at your stereotypes of people with natural hair, but that is because I wear my hair natural and I sure as hell don't even wear Tevas, birkenstocks, or crocs. I made a post on my other blog about how I hate crocs.
I see many a preppy white suburban mothers rocking crocs and their little kids too. My kids won't wear them, except maybe to the pool. That is like the stereotype that all folks who have perm and weave hate themselves, it isn't fair and it isn't right. - August 27, 2009 at 5:33 PM

I still think that the best looking white girls have the fewest "White" features.

If you like to go back to the prior post we can but since I got got such a harsh reaction, I softened my language which should be acknowledged. I also sent in three response posts which were either rejected or are lost in cyberspace either way, there not here.
I probably shouldn't have use the words unkempt, I wasn't thinking. But I do stand by my original sentiment that a lot of naturals that I know, NOT ALL, tend to be more organic in dress and my examples were foot wear as well as, long denim skirts with chuck taylors. Maybe all of those people are also more artistic and work at magazines-I don't know but don't crucify me for it. If you can say a large segment are Natural hair Nazis then I can say a large portion wear long skirts with birkenstocks.
But my primary point was that I wanted a fashionable natural icon, it can only help. I didn't wear make up until I met a woman who was my complexion who wore it. Until then I just thought makeup wasn't for me. It wasn't marketed to me, my mother doesn't wear it neither does my sister; not to mention the fact that they are different complexions. If I never met my friend I probably would never wear make up. My point is some of us need to see the end result. We are not all visionaries.
My best friend is a natural head. She has been that way, off and on, since grade school. She would loathe me to use her as an example but I will. She could wrap a scarf around her head and have it free flowing like Jill Scott (she doesn't do that because her head gets too hot); Fine. She can do some intricate twists and hold it up with clips, but that takes too much time. So how does she wear her hair, in the two cornrow braids that she had in grade school. So what happens, she looks like a kid and thus treated as one. I had this style discussion with her. She says she has no style while I would say her style is very college, t-shirt, jeans and sneakers. This is my point, a lot of women who go natural, NOT ALL, do so because they don't like to do hair or don't like a lot of hair on their heads. They won't play around with they hair for hours to see what works and what doesn't. SINCE WHEN DID OUR HAIR BECOME SUCH A BURDEN??? Why can't you take a day to figure out what goes best with your face and features.
So in the many camps of "I wear my hair natural" the ones that stand out are (and it could be that those are the most vocal) those who are more militant with their hair and style, who you would term, Natural Hair Nazis, and the ones I encounter, who don't like hair PERIOD (any kind of hair), don't like to do hair and went natural precisely for that reason.
I don't want my natural references to be people who go natural because they "just can't be bothered." So for my friend, it's a non issue.
BTW, my references for people who wear Crocs, Tevas, and Birenstocks were white people. As a matter of fact the term Granola and the more derisive term, tree huggers, were created for them. I don't know too many black people who rock any of those styles of dress. One very iconic image I have of a great many people wearing Birenstocks is Woodstock '90s. Not that many black people there. And the AA who I see who do wear them are low and behold, Artists (poets, writers, musicians, and painters). And I do see a great many white middle class mothers rocking crocs with their kids on the Upper West Side. Wearing them doesn't make you poor. However, they are not CHIC or stylish. But hey that's just my opinion, I could be wrong. - August 28, 2009 at 9:07 AM

Hey Siditty that is such a stereotype. I am not natural but, I have a boyfriend who is of another race. What gives. People should be content in whatever style black women choose to wear their hair as. Natural hair is beautiful one day I may transition into that. Having relaxed hair does not make you the devil either. It is all up to you and what makes you happy.

They were not rejected, I can say that much.

I didn't say a large portion are Natural hair Nazis. Like I would never say most people with perms are full of self hatred, I will say most the people I see with perms have severely damaged hair, but that doesn't mean it is the norm, maybe it means I am around people who don't know how to care for permed hair. I see wispy long see through ends, split ends all over the place and thinning hair quite often.
Fine. She can do some intricate twists and hold it up with clips, but that takes too much time. So how does she wear her hair, in the two cornrow braids that she had in grade school. So what happens, she looks like a kid and thus treated as one
Your friend needs to learn how to do her hair outside of twists and free form. That is what I would learn from that, not that she is limited in style simply because she is natural. I would also say it sounds like she isn't one into "fashion", I personally don't see anything wrong with that, but that sounds to me like her personality, not anything to do with if she is natural or not. Does she dress up more during the times she goes wearing a perm?
SINCE WHEN DID OUR HAIR BECOME SUCH A BURDEN??? Why can't you take a day to figure out what goes best with your face and features.
The problem with this is that it is innocent of racial construct and beauty expectations. You want to pretend that black folks straightening their hair had nothing to do with trying to conform to white beauty standards, so be it, but honestly that is what it is, when we came here, we didn't come packed with hair accessories in tow, and we had to learn how to do our hair, and we mimicked those whose hair texture was completely different, and when Madam CJ Walker created the perm we embraced it all in the name of making our hair more "manageable" instead of learning how to do our own hair, which is completely manageable if you know how to do it, and it isn't always time consuming to deal with natural hair. I spend less time on my hair now than I ever did with a perm. Even now if I decide to flat iron it, it can take up to three hours to do a half decent job, and that is with my modifying my hair to make it semi straight for ease of flat ironing. It used to take around an hour to perm my hair, that is the actual process of perming, it would take another hour for it to dry under the big ass dome dryer. It was way more time consuming than anything I ever do as a natural head.
Being a natural in this day is a burden because you have people who stereotype you, the possibility of losing out on professional jobs because black hair in it's natural state is seen as unprofessional or unkempt no matter how well styled it is, or how much better it looks that the most damaged hair of someone with a perm. If it was just a style choice it would be one thing, but with the stereotypes and possibly missed opportunities because of stereotypes,black hair can be a burden, and unfortunately, the biggest "burden" from my experience comes from other black people. - August 29, 2009 at 6:14 AM

Truro fight on but Eastleigh clash still postponed (From Daily Echo)
When news happens, text SDE and your photos or videos to 80360. Or contact us by email and phone.
Truro fight on but Eastleigh clash still postponed
1:54pm Friday 19th October 2012 in Sport
Eastleigh will have the afternoon off tomorrow after crisis-club Truro City missed a payment deadline.
The Cornish outfit were due to play Eastleigh at the Silverlake Stadium, but the game was called off when they failed to lodge a £50,000 bond with the Football Conference by midday today.
It has since been paid, ensuring that Truro can continue to play in Conference South - but not in time to fulfil their fixture against the Spitfires.
Truro beat AFC Totton in the 2007 FA Vase final but went into administration in August after being saddled with debts of £700,000 when owner Keith Heaney went bankrupt.

I still don't think it is actually doing anything for your car. The only real way to test it would be a dyno run, if you just THINK that it is working then you can be confusing yourself. If anything it is just reducing the airflow and decreasing your horsepower.Originally Posted by Mapdash

The Saratogian (saratogian.com), Serving the Saratoga Springs, N.Y. region
Sunday, November 11, 2012
By PAUL POST
SARATOGA SPRINGS — One of the Navy's three new guided missile destroyers is named for a late Congressional Medal of Honor winner with strong Saratoga ties.
Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus announced recently that three ships would be named for Navy and Marine Corps heroes who served at different times, but are united by their uncommon valor.
John Finn, who passed away at 100 in 2010, received the Medal of Honor from Admiral Chester Nimitz for displaying "magnificent courage in the face of almost certain death" during the Dec. 7, 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
A chief ordnance man, he used a machine gun at the former Kanoehe Bay Naval Air Station to fire at Japanese aircraft for two straight hours, was wounded 21 times and stayed on duty for 18 hours.
Fifteen men received the Medal of Honor for their heroic actions that day. It's believed that Finn was the award's first World War II recipient because his station was hit five minutes before Pearl Harbor itself.
"We heard planes flying, but they weren't flying the station pattern," he said in a 2009 interview. "We figured out damn quick that they were attacking. The Japs were doing everything they could to destroy our military naval setup. They were shooting and dropping bombs and torpedoes. A lot of people, including myself, couldn't believe they were attacking us."
Finn only left his post after being ordered to, and after getting medical attention, he returned to the squadron area and supervised the rearming of returning American warplanes. Doctors later identified 21 shrapnel wounds in his chest and abdomen.
"To this day, I don't know if I shot anything down," he said. "At least I fought back."
Finn joined the Navy as a 17-year-old recruit in July 1926 and retired from active duty as a lieutenant in 1947, two years after the war.
During his career, Finn served aboard the USS Saratoga and visited Saratoga Springs several times for special occasions, including a September 1998 reunion of USS Saratoga crew members and the dedication of its then-newly restored 930-pound bell, which is displayed at Gerald B.H. Solomon Saratoga National Cemetery.
"It's very unusual for a Medal of Honor recipient to go back into active battle, and he did," said Larry Gordon of Wilton, a USS Saratoga historian.
On Sept. 27, 1999, the Spa City held a day in Finn's honor during a national convention of Medal of Honor recipients.
On Sept. 11, 2001, his plane was grounded at Albany International Airport and he took time to see local friends, including Thomas Hennessey, a shipmate from the USS Hancock.
The Navy's new destroyer, called the John Finn DDG 113, is being constructed by Huntington Ingalls Industries, based in Newport News, Va. More than 100 tons of steel have already been cut using state-of-the-art robotic machines to make sure that exact specifications are met.
The ship's keel has already been laid and the destroyer is scheduled for completion during the third quarter of 2016. The DDG ships are designed to simultaneously fight air, surface and subsurface battles. They contain numerous offensive and defensive weapons.
Huntington Ingalls designs, builds and maintains nuclear and non-nuclear ships for the Navy and Coast Guard. The firm has built more ships in more classes than any other U.S. naval shipbuilder.
Finn was the oldest Congressional Medal of Honor recipient at the time of his passing in May 2010.
For his 100th birthday, he wanted one thing: "More peace all over the world," Finn said. "That would be my most fervent wish."

Since lists are what people do at the end of things because paragraphs with common threads are just entirely too difficult to cobble together, I've followed suit with a random hodge-podge of observations, thoughts and things learned over the course of ten years.
2000: We were league champions after going on an improbably post-season run. Knocked off Wheeler, 53-51. In my career, we only beat Wheeler once. Lesson: Only one game counts.
2001: 9/11. Vagina. Lesson: You can learn all things from war and genitals.
2002: High school graduation.Robert Horry hit that shot against the Kings. on my graduation day. Lesson: Robert Horry is the Butterfly Effect.
2003: Yale. The Michelle. Being an idiot regarding several things, mostly The Michelle-related. Lesson: Flattery is the key to infidelity.
2004: The College Dropout (album and real life). Lesson: Being a nightclub bouncer is infinitely more interesting than folding pants at the Gap.
2005: Yale, again. The Justice League. Argentina with The Intercontinental Champ. Lesson: You can always go home again, but it might not be how you left it.
2006: The best and worst day of college happened on the same day. Iberia. Lesson: Sometimes, you have to make trades, especially when you don't have a choice. Also, sometimes friendship is no friend at all.
2007: Yale graduation. Lesson: Getting in is easier than finishing.
2008: The Spirit Warrior's Dream. The Feath. The Election. Lesson: It's usually the one you never saw coming.
2009: Freezing at the Inauguration. Brougham gets married. The Feath begins work on The Franchise. Lesson: It's about grown man time…

Cape Cod Hearing Center is now offering SoundCure™ Serenade® for sufferers of tinnitus. Serenade is a complete, FDA cleared sound therapy solution based on acoustic research conducted by leading university researchers.
(PRWEB) February 05, 2013
Cape Cod Hearing Center is now offering SoundCure™ Serenade® for sufferers of tinnitus (ringing in the ears.)
Tinnitus is a condition in which a person perceives sound that is not actually present in the environment. It is often described as "ringing in the ears" but can include virtually any type of sound including whooshing, hissing, or whistling. There are many possible causes for tinnitus but most cases are related to damage to the auditory system.
Did You Know?...
New treatment approaches are successfully providing relief for many. Cape Cod Hearing Center is dedicated to staying abreast of new technological developments, and sharing them with the community.
Introducing SoundCure Serenade
Serenade is a complete, FDA cleared sound therapy solution based on acoustic research conducted by leading university researchers. Simple to use and customized to each patient, Serenade's digital signal processing system is based on the relationship between specific tonal algorithms and their effects.
The Serenade tinnitus treatment system consists of a handheld device, earphones, and proprietary, customized treatment sounds that research has suggested may address the underlying neurological cause of tinnitus. These key elements are combined with patient education and aftercare.
After a tinnitus evaluation, the Serenade device is programmed to play the sounds most likely to be effective for that individual.This approach may be used to seek immediate relief, as well as long term benefit when used as part of an ongoing tinnitus treatment program.
Originally developed at UC Irvine, S-Tones® are the foundation of the SoundCure Serenade technology. Research has shown that these sounds can produce synchronized activity in the part of the brain that processes sound – the auditory cortex.
S-Tones do not need to be loud to be effective, researchers have discovered: "…A sound is presented that is softer than the level of the tinnitus, which may completely eliminate the perception of the tinnitus. The overall level of the sound environment is less than the tinnitus alone." 1
Benefits of Serenade:

Families, Scientists Rally in DC to Raise Awareness of Fragile X Gene Research & Keep Funding on Track
WASHINGTON, March 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- As scientists uncover the precise links between autism and the fragile x gene, potential treatments to reverse many of the core symptoms of both autism and fragile X syndrome (FXS) are moving closer to reality. Nationwide clinical drug trials are already underway and are showing significant success in reversing symptoms of severe social impairment and behavioral issues in participants with autism and FXS, giving hope to families and individuals with these conditions that additional treatments may be on the horizon.
"For the first time, we have hope that medicines are within sight that will allow many individuals with fragile X syndrome and autism, who have severe social impairments, to be able to function and interact with others in society," said Robert Miller, Executive Director of the National Fragile X Foundation.
While autism is the more commonly known of the two conditions, fragile X syndrome is the most common known genetic cause of autism and autism spectrum disorders. It is also the most common cause of inherited intellectual disability and can cause learning and behavioral disorders that can range from mild to severe. New scientific research has further established the interconnectivity between these two conditions.
The enthusiasm for these new discoveries into the genetic causes of autism is tempered by the reality that federal budget constraints may jeopardize the significant scientific gains made. Hundreds of advocates, including researchers and families of individuals with FXS and autism, will be in Washington on March 5 and 6 to help raise public and Congressional awareness of the break-through research's potential for treatment.
"With actual treatments for key symptoms of autism and fragile X syndrome in the testing phase, the impact of recent scientific discoveries cannot be underestimated-and should not be starved of support just as they are coming to reality," Miller said.
The National Fragile X Foundation, founded in 1984, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides informational, referral and emotional support; educational and awareness materials and activities; support for research including the translation of science into new and improved treatments; and legislative advocacy.

Sunday, August 2, 2009
Thank you dear friends and fellow bloggers for your prayers, positive thoughts and support. I was truly stunned and humbled by the many kind words you all bestowed on me during my recent (and now departed) illness.
All went great at the hospital. The doctor said the procedure went "perfect," and that the tumor was "superficial" meaning it was not invasive. Thanks much for your prayer and positive thoughts! I am believing there will be no recurrence, and changing my diet, prayer life, and perhaps my residence to keep my life stress free.
Thanks again for your support. I will visit you all soon. God bless.

This message is coming to you late because I was on my knees day and night praying for you. I was so busy praying that I forgot to check in on your blog. :-)
Seriously, am glad to hear you're okay!
