We do not specifically 'allow' the bleaching of tea bags - it is more that we do not currently prohibit it - making a recommendation that paper is unbleached. As it is such an integral part of the product, the tea bag paper has to meet food contact regulations. Most of the producers of organic tea bags use either unbleached papers, or papers bleached using a non-chlorine process. This non-chlorine process can involve the use of oxygen, ozone and/or hydrogen peroxide. These elements are captured, recycled and used over and over again, so there is much less risk to the environment than with using chlorine. We have proposed to allow only Totally-Chlorine Free (TCF) bleaching of card and paper, in the new packaging standards.

I just pulled up Hoopshype and was taking a look, and here are some players we'll probably take a serious look at if they hit the market:
Andres Nocioni - SF, member of Argentinan team with Hermann?
Anderson Varajao -
Jerry Stackhouse - North Carolina Alum
Julius Hodge - loaded with potential
Flip Murray - Almost signed with us this year, and will want more money and playing time
Bonzi Wells - Might opt out of his contract and we might pursue his scoring
Chris Mihm - injury season will dampen his low value, and is worth more than Brezec
Luke Walton - Great shot and versatile.
Smush Parker - Raymond needs a backup
Eddie Jones - Can still play and is a veteran presence
Chucky Atkins - Once again, Raymond needs a backup.
James Posey - Hard nosed defender and good team player
Ruben Patterson - High % shot and offensive rebounder, and we need both.
Charlie Bell - Good scorer and can make the 3; versatile.
Steve Blake - Excellent backup, pass first Point man. Good defense.
Eddie House - Liked him when he was here, knows the team, good shooter.
Vince Carter - If he opts out, he may be considered *cough* cancer *cough*
Desmond Mason - If Wallace is traded, he's very similar and would fill his role easily.
Marc Jackson - Can never have too many big men
Linton Johnson - Good athlete, decent upside
Grant Hill - NC native, nice to finish in home state. One of the "nice" guys.
Travis Diener - can hit anything anywhere
Morris Peterson - Considerable if all else fails
Kareem Rush -
ANother big man and a backup PG, with a scorer would be our top needs could use some studs.

In Georgia, the food is quite appropriately an expression of the culture. Warm, gooey comfort food like khachapuri (cheese-stuffed bread) finds balance with matsoni (sour yogurt). Herbs like tarragon, flat parsley, dill and coriander combine with walnuts and garlic for rich fillings and sauces. Continue Reading »

Veronica was born in Mercatelli, Italy. It is said that when her mother Benedetta was dying she called her five daughters to her bedside and entrusted each of them to one of the five wounds of Jesus. Veronica was entrusted to the wound below Christ's heart.
At the age of 17, Veronica joined the Poor Clares directed by the Capuchins. Her father had wanted her to marry, but she convinced him to allow her to become a nun. In her first years in the monastery, she worked in the kitchen, infirmary and sacristy and also served as portress. At the age of 34, she was made novice mistress, a position she held for 22 years. When she was 37, Veronica received the stigmata. Life was not the same after that.
Church authorities in Rome wanted to test Veronica's authenticity and so conducted an investigation. She lost the office of novice mistress temporarily and was not allowed to attend Mass except on Sundays or holy days. Through all of this Veronica did not become bitter, and the investigation eventually restored her as novice mistress.
Though she protested against it, at the age of 56 she was elected abbess, an office she held for 11 years until her death. Veronica was very devoted to the Eucharist and to the Sacred Heart. She offered her sufferings for the missions. Veronica was canonized in 1839.
The author of the Joshua series, Fr. Joseph Girzone, retells the ancient stories of Jesus in ways that make them fresh and accessible.

Sea to Sky School District officials are extending a program to help high-school-aged students whose situations prevent them from attending regular classes to the northern part of the district.
For the past few years, the Reconnect Alternative Program (RAP) has been operated out of Squamish for the benefit of those in the southern part of the district who can�t attend regular classes for a variety of reasons like sports training, employment, health issues and family situations.
Lisa McCullough, District 48 superintendent, said on Friday (Aug. 31) learning programs are designed to meet the needs of individual students and often include a distance-learning component and regular check-ins with an instructor either in person or by electronic means.
�It�s acknowledged that some students will have unique needs and may be more at risk from time to time,� she said. �It may be because of mobility issues, health concerns, employment ��and that program may not necessarily be offered at our secondary schools.�
McCullough told trustees last Wednesday (Aug. 29) that District 48 officials and their counterparts at Ts�zil Learning Centre have discussed having the Mount Currie facility serve as the meeting place for RAP instructors and students in the Pemberton-Mount Currie-Birken area.
She said RAP program officials hope to reach school-aged youths, whom she described as �missing in education� � i.e. they�re not attending school at all.
�In some cases we don�t know why, but the objective is to go to them, find out why, and re-engage them,� she said. �The message we want them to hear is that we want to find you and work to build a program that works for you.�
The extended program is set to launch on Monday (Sept. 10). For information, call Ryan Massey at 604-892-5220 or Peter Jory at 604-892-5228.
Second French class welcomed
Officials at Pemberton�s Signal Hill Elementary School were expected to welcome their second French immersion class this week. The school launched the program with a single Grade 5-6 class with 29 students in 2011-12, and 23 new students were set to begin the program for 2012-13.
Before the program was launched, parents and some faculty members expressed concern that bringing French immersion to Signal Hill might result in most Aboriginal students in those grades being in the English program and non-Aboriginal students being mostly in French.
Two Aboriginal students took part in French immersion last year. McCullough said this week, some Aboriginal students have signed up as part of the new French immersion class. She couldn�t say precisely how many, but admitted the number doesn�t match the percentage of Aboriginal students in the school.
�We are in public education so our classrooms are there for the learning of anyone who wants to be there. In no way would we be building something that would segregate,� she said.
Bus cash credited
The Ministry of Education has agreed to let District 48 keep $90,000 in school bus funding that ministry officials had threatened to withhold, secretary-treasurer John Hetherington told the board.
The district received that amount in insurance money from ICBC after three school buses were lost in June 2011 � one to a fire resulting from an engine malfunction in Squamish and two as a result of vandalism to buses that were parked at the district�s bus facility in Pemberton.
Hetherington said after ministry officials indicated they planned to withhold the money the district was to receive in the insurance settlement, District 48 officials responded they felt that was unfair. In a recent letter, ministry officials agreed, drawing praise from the board.
It cost the district about $90,000 to lease three replacement buses for the 2011-12 school year. New buses to replace the ones lost in 2011 are to arrive this fall, Hetherington added.
�Carbon neutral� study in works
The board approved spending $7,317 for a feasibility study into possible carbon-neutral projects involving school district facilities.
As provincial government bodies, each of B.C.�s school districts is required to be carbon neutral and if it�s not, is required to pay the Pacific Carbon Trust money for carbon offsets. For each of the past two years District 48 has paid out about $50,000 for that purpose, said Hetherington. All districts are receiving $7,317 this year to help identify potential carbon-neutral facility upgrades, Hetherington told the board.
Hetherington and Rick Hume, the district�s facilities manager, plan to meet with Fortis B.C. officials in their attempts to identify possible projects. For example, one such project might be construction of a passive geothermal energy field to help meet the energy needs of neighbouring Howe Sound Secondary and Squamish Elementary schools, he said.

Singer and film director Fred Durst was born in Gastonia, North Carolina, in 1970. Raised in Jacksonville, Florida, Durst became immersed in the hip-hop and punk rock scenes of his adopted city as a teenager. While working as a tattoo artist, he formed the band Limp Bizkit in 1994. Driven by Durst's angry lyrics and showmanship, Limp Bizkit became one of the most popular bands of the 1990s and early 2000s.
"Anybody who wears their feelings on their sleeve and has a harder, crusty shell—like I do—is definitely protecting an inner sensitivity."
Early Years
William Frederick Durst was born August 20, 1971, in Gastonia, North Carolina. The early part of his childhood was shaped by his family's lack of money. For the first couple of years of his life, Durst was raised entirely his mother, Anita. When he was 2, his mother remarried, and Durst moved with his mom and her new husband to Jacksonville, Florida.
As a young teenager, Durst became drawn to the world of hip-hop. He fell in love with break dancing and gravitated toward the poetry and cleverness of rap. But the anger and edginess of Durst's own personality also made him a fan of hardcore punk, a musical genre that would prove to have the greatest impact on the future musician's career.
Failing to find work after graduating from high school, Durst signed on with the Navy, spending a couple of years in military service before returning to Jacksonville and landing a job as a tattoo artist.
Limp Bizkit Success
Harboring dreams of making it in the music world, Durst began collaborating with a trio of local musicians: Sam Rivers, John Otto (Durst's cousin) and Wes Borland. In 1994, they formed the band Limp Bizkit.
The group became a fixture in the Jacksonville music scene, eventually earning the notice of nu-metal band Korn, a relationship that helped propel the young group to release its first demo, a three-song collection called Three Dollar Bill, Yall$, in 1997.
Anchored by the band's creative cover of the 1988 George Michael hit Faith, the demo landed them on the 1998 Ozzfest tour and earned them a growing legion of fans.
In 1999, Limp Bizkit released Significant Other, a game changer of an album for the group, which included the Top 10 singles "Re-arranged" and "Nookie." Over the next several years, Limp Bizkit emerged as one of music's most popular bands, successfully bringing together elements of hip-hop and metal.
The group's studio success was propelled by Durst's creative vision for the band. He directed almost all of the group's videos, and the band's onstage showmanship—their elaborate costumes and shows—furthered the Bizkit's popularity. The band's third album, Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water (2000), ended up selling more than 25 million copies.
But not all the press Durst generated was good publicity. He drew scathing criticism for a romantic fling with the still-young Britney Spears, and was beaten up by the press for his public feuds with Trent Reznor and Eminem.
Even Bizkit fans found Durst hard to support.

I would add "has the best resource of articles on historical apologetics" for J.P. Holding (seriously, there are probably 1000-2000 of them right now).

Oh and I would also add Glenn Miller from the Christian Thinktank.

Thank you for the additional apologists. I had to stop at some point; 100 seemed a fair stopping point -- knowing I would undoubtedly neglect some good ones. Thanks for adding to the list.

This is a great resource! Thank you for taking the time to compile it and add the links as well! Very impressive. I have posted to Facebook and to Two Chix Apologetics (Facebook) as a permanent link.

That must have been a lot of work - though these must be going around, we just linked to 100 living philosophers of religion on our blog.

- समाज-मित्र said...
This was a very useful list. It is amazing to know how many have dedicated their lives to the defense of the Christian faith.
An important apologist that should be here is Johnson C. Philip based in India. You can see him at
He has authored more than 70 apologetics related books and has published more than 7000 articles.
He is not widely known in the western world because his work is confined to the non western world. - Wednesday, July 15, 2009 at 12:27:00 PM GMT+1

Hi there
Looks like a good list. Many I do know, most I don't. Would just like to point out though that N T Wright is not the Archbishop of Canterbury (yet!), he is the Bishop of Durham.
I'm glad I stumbled across your blog :) - Monday, September 21, 2009 at 9:14:00 AM GMT+1

Thanks for pointing out that mixup! It has been fixed.

Dave Hunt and his ministry along with T.A. McMahon - www.thebereancall.org
I like them the most. - Monday, December 21, 2009 at 8:58:00 PM GMT
- Undercover Evangelical said...
I am surprised that Stephen T. Davis is not on the list. He is generally regarding as one of the top evangelical philosophers of religion in the world. Right up there with Plantinga, Swinburne, Craig, and Moreland.

Great post! Had to take a ton of time. If you were to rank the top ten for lay people, who would you select? How about the top ten for deep thinkers/students/professors/pastors? I listed some of the top apologetics books specifically designed to refute the "new atheism" here: http://bit.ly/66bhmT Bob

I just found your blog by googling "Christian apologetics," and I must say I find this very helpful. I'm a volunteer for Matt Slick's Christian and Apologetics and Research Ministry, and I can tell you've been into this for a while. Much longer than I. Thank you very much. God bless you.

Walter Martin was a true champion of the faith.
Dave Hunt is good too! - Friday, October 29, 2010 at 6:33:00 PM GMT+1
I know you had to stop somewhere but are you familiar with John Polkinghorne? He quite possibly possesses the most brilliant living mind when it comes to science and religion.
Thanks for building a great site! - Thursday, January 13, 2011 at 4:50:00 AM GMT

Please add Jonathan Sarfati, New Zealand chemist and creation apologist. See his webpage with Creation Ministries International for his impressive credentials and accomplishments: http://creation.com/dr-jonathan-d-sarfati

Dr. Walter Martin, author of "Kingdom of the Cults". I took a class from him.
- Friday, November 18, 2011 at 5:16:00 PM GMT
I did not see Professor John Lennox in the list. Hes very good.

I think the list should be expanded to top 500 Christian Apologist. I am thankful for this list and I will share it with everyone.

Have you heard of Frank Pastori? I highly recommend him to this list. Thank you for your work!
I was surprised (and dismayed) to see Dallas Willard being considered as an "apologist." - Thursday, April 12, 2012 at 1:43:00 PM GMT+1
May I add Dr. Kenneth G. McLeod to this list? A Well Reasoned Faith.
- Thursday, May 24, 2012 at 2:43:00 PM GMT+1
I my opinion the best apologists are Dinesh D' Souza, William Caig and Frank Turek!!! Check them out first before any other!
- Wednesday, June 27, 2012 at 7:55:00 PM GMT+1
- Dr Christian Le PhD said...
May God riohly bless you all - apologists of God - Jesus. May God the Holy Spirit use you all to persuade and convince people about who Jesus Christ really is and lead them to Him the Son of God - the greatest apologist of all time who can save souls and give eternal life!!!

Hello Elaine,
May I ask why you think Dallas Willard's name should be removed from the list?
Godspeed - Friday, July 27, 2012 at 3:13:00 AM GMT+1
Excellent choices, but where are the women?
- Thursday, October 4, 2012 at 12:23:00 PM GMT+1
Dr Walter Martin. Phenomenal
- Saturday, November 24, 2012 at 9:34:00 AM GMT
Love the list. Thought I would note William P. Alston. This guy was on the front lines in epistemological debates with atheist. Absolutely brilliant philosopher who received respect for his philosophy even within secular camps.
- Wednesday, March 13, 2013 at 7:43:00 AM GMT
You should also add Prof Craig S. Hawkins to your list of apologist. Founder of AIM (apologetic Information Ministries) and was Dr. Walter Martians right hand man.
- Friday, March 29, 2013 at 4:31:00 PM GMT
Why some dead apologists and not others? You wisely included CS Lewis & GK Chesteron who are must haves, but Blaise Pascal, William Paley, & Thomas Aquinas have more cred than many of the living apologists already on your list. Also, Dr. Paul Maier is top shelf -- he's still alive though. For what it's worth I'm in favor of expanding to 200 when you have nothing better to do (smile).
- Tuesday, April 9, 2013 at 7:23:00 PM GMT+1
- Ron Cram said...
I think Dr. Francis Collins deserves to be on the list. Dr. Collins is famous for leading the Human Genome Project and is currently the Director of the National Institutes of Health. He is also the author of The Language of God, an account of his conversion from atheism to Christianity (along with many fascinating aspects of his life).

Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Justin Blackmon returned to practice on Wednesday, officially ending a four-game suspension that kept him out of the lineup as the team got off to an 0-4 start. On a team recently struck with injuries at the wide receiver position, his addition was welcomed, but shortly in to practice the addition was somewhat nullified as Cecil Shorts III suffered a groin tweak that ended his day.
Jaguars.com senior editor Josh Oehser said that the injury was minor and that the day off for Shorts was precautionary, but it's another reminder of how thin the team is at the position, as Stephen Burton recovers from a concussion and Mike Brown deals with a broken bone in his back.
Also joining the injury report on Wednesday was Jeremy Mincey, who tested for a concussion. One of only six players that is 29 or older, Mincey joins fellow veteran Dwight Lowery and Burton on the list of Jaguars players recovering from a concussion.
Here's the full injury report from practice on Wednesday:
Player | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Game Status |
Mike Brown (back) | DNP | |||
Stephen Burton (concussion) | DNP | |||
Dwayne Gratz (ankle) | DNP | |||
Marcedes Lewis (calf) | DNP | |||
Dwight Lowery (concussion) | DNP | |||
Jeremy Mincey (concussion) | DNP | |||
Cecil Shorts III (groin) | DNP | |||
Alan Ball (groin) | Limited | |||
Geno Hayes (hip) | Limited | |||
Denard Robinson (hamstring) | Limited |

The "Green Scents" of Bond No. 9 and Earth Day with Mini-Reviews
The "Green Scents" of Bond No. 9 By Raphaella
Who knew that thirty-five years before Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth made global warming a household term and the green movement went main stream, some 20 million people across the United States celebrated the first Earth Day, on April 22, 1970? Today, an astonishing 1 billion people around the world take part in the event.
Before I cover the Green Scents of Bond No. 9, Earth Day, Recycling and Bond No. 9's part in this global project, I wish to thank all the readers that have responded to the comments on the Bond No. 9 Blog and all the readers from FaceBook who have left the fabulous comments! We read every comment and it touches us. You Rock!
Many of you know that Bond No. 9 is the first fragrance company in the fragrance industry that has taken a huge step in announcing a Recycling program, one that helps its customers recycle with the first incentive recycling program. The reality is that an astounding amount of fragrance is spritzed and dabbed on every day… which means countless flacons and empty product containers get tossed in the trash, everyday. Bond No. 9 took a big step and fulfilled a huge commitment to change all that. This commitment really resonated with Bond No. 9 Fans and you have shown that by your comments. Your opinion matters!
Lets' first take a look at the "Green Scents" of Bond No. 9
Central Park is the most visited urban park in the United States. One would think of Yellowstone Park but no, it is right here in New York City. Central Park receives over thirty-five million visitors a year and for me, remains one of the most interesting and magical of parks. Central Park is known for its great landscape of greenery, park benches to find solace on great patches of green grass and lawns to rest or play on; to read, or to have a picnic. There are parks within the park, biking, eateries, lakes, boating, ice skating, art fairs, carriage rides, outdoor concerts of every kind imaginable kind, flying kites, zoos…I mean, the possibilities are endless for things to do. Every walk of life passes though Central Park and many dream of living on the most prestigious edges of the Park.
Central Park, the fragrance by Bond No 9 is named after perhaps the most famous area in all of New York City and it is undeniably the greenest spot in all of Manhattan. Believe it or not I am not familiar with all of the Bond scents but with spring and summer fast approaching, I decided to finally check out the "Green Fragrances" of Bond.
Central Park is a crisp green floral scent for men and women that embody the heart and soul of the park with pure New York style! As well, Bond's fresh green and alive composition puts you right in the middle of the Park; it really is a great representation of enchanted forests, manicured meadows, magical huge green expanses of grass, winding roads and fresh blossoms of spring and summer. I am not sure if any of you have experienced this with a unisex fragrance, but I have numerous times; you place the scent on a man and it is super sexy and masculine, so good you want to take a nibble. You spray it on a women, it is sexy again and yet takes on the notes of super feminine and with a complete different spin of chemistry. I have never understood this phenomenon in perfumery. The notes of Central Park reflects New York's grand oasis of greenery and is oddly very relaxing yet invigorating. Top notes are dew-fresh basil verbena, mandarin leaf, and bergamot and lime blossom. What is fascinating about Central Park is the composition of the middle notes, comprised of jasmine, lily-of-the-valley and Bulgarian rose which weaves a spell with the base notes of musk, cedar, resins and patchouli. A truly fascinating and beautiful green scent, taking on different hues, and perfect for the Park!
Gramercy Park in New York City is quite possibly the most gorgeous "little" square in New York. The square was built in the 1830s as a residence for the very rich, and in the center, is New York's only private park located at the very bottom of Lexington Avenue. The homes at the Gramercy area were built by some of New York's leading architects and Gramercy Park has a special mysterious air kin to a "secret garden", hidden to the public. Only the residents of Gramercy Park are allowed a key to enter this special Park.
The unisex Gramercy Park by Bond No. 9 is another "green" scent but speaks a completely different language. Gramercy Park is inspired by the gated, private residential square and captures the cool, crisp tones of New York's most private and quite neighborhood. You can hear the birds singing, you can smell the crisp fresh green leaves of ivy mingling with lily of the valley with sheer woods peeking through. Its sheer greenery is very crisp and gentle and is considered a perfect scent for day wear. Another great scent from Bond No. 9 with excellent staying power.
We covered High Line by Bond No. 9 extensively with a review in our Neighborhoods of Bond No 9: High Line. (click here to view) The movement towards resurrecting High Line in New York City has produced amazing results. Such a resurrection prompted Bond No. 9 to create a scent in honor of this new "neighborhood". Leave it to Bond No 9 to create a fragrance that captures this urban landscape of wildflowers and grasses, mixed with "Tenth Avenue energy and Chelsea gallery style".
High Line amazes me. Another unisex scent for men and woman I did not release its true power at first. One night as I was writing for the Blog, I placed my sample of High Line on both wrists and shoulders. I left my office to go get a cup of hot tea and as I walked back into my office I was confused, what was that incredible smell that was wafting in the air? It took a moment to realize it was me! It was like someone had lit a candle of the most luscious fresh scent I have ever smelled!
It really took my breath away and it was at that moment that I really paid attention to the notes of High Line. Called the "The World's First Railroad Perfume, the scent of wildflowers, green grasses … and urban renewal". Forget the railroads; this is pure green freshness at its best.
In Christine Lewandowski's review here she tells us that "The notes in High Line are unlike anything else in the line or any other fragrance I know: bergamot, purple love grass, Indian rhubarb, red leaf rose, orange flower water, tulip, grape hyacinth, sea moss, teakwood, musk & bur oak. The combination of the sweet of the orange flower water, in particular, with the perfect sour-crisp of the rhubarb sets High Line apart in the "fresh" fragrance selection. The dry down of High Line reveals a little more of its unisex character. Sea Moss, teakwood, musk and bur oak combine to create a depth of long lasting richness. The dry down remains "fresh" smelling, an outdoorsy clean, without a trace of soapiness." Read full review here.
Earth Day, National Recycling Month and Bond No. 9's role in helping;
As the world celebrates the upcoming Earth Day on April 22, 2011, let's not forget that April is also National Recycling Month. Recycling the month of April is a wonderful way to celebrate our Earth Day. This year many Earth Day attractions are making recycling part of their Earth Day activities and the Earth Day Network hopes to get a billion commitments to acts of green. The date April 22 for Earth Day was chosen because it marks the point when it is spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere, according to earthday.org. In 2009, the United Nations designated April 22 International Mother Earth Day.
Margaret Mead added her support for the equinox Earth Day, and declared: "EARTH DAY is the first holy day which transcends all national borders, yet preserves all geographical integrities, spans mountains and oceans and time belts, and yet brings people all over the world into one resonating accord. EARTH DAY draws on astronomical phenomena in a new way – which is also the most ancient way – by using the vernal Equinox, the time when the Sun crosses the equator making the length of night and day equal in all parts of the Earth. To this point in the annual calendar, EARTH DAY attaches no local or divisive set of symbols, no statement of the truth or superiority of one way of life over another. But the selection of the March Equinox makes planetary observance of a shared event possible, and a flag which shows the Earth, as seen from space, appropriate."
The Earth flag is not an official flag, since there is no official governing body over Earth but the flag holds a photo transfer of a NASA image of the Earth on a dark blue background. It has been associated with Earth Day.
Recycling is one of the best ways to help the environment. Recycling reduces garbage in landfills, reduces carbon emissions by reducing manufacturing and transportation emissions and enables our Earth's natural resources to be more evenly distributed among the world's population.
Bond No. 9 is gearing up for Earth Day! Please help us recycle this month to celebrate and support our Earth Day!

Rick Sanchez on Anglicizing
A couple weeks ago, while discussing the hotel manager who tried to force his Latino employees to change their names, (to make them easier to pronounce for non-Spanish speaking customers), CNN's Rick Sanchez weighed in – and what he said shocked many. Dissenting from his fellow Latino colleagues, Sanchez defended the New Mexico hotel owner, Larry Whitten.
"My real name is Ricardo Leon Sanchez de Reinaldo. I don't use it because I want to be respectful of this wonderful country that allowed us as Hispanics to come here, and I think it's easier if someone's able to understand me by Anglicizing my name."
I usually like Rick Sanchez but I thought this statement was incredibly ignorant. Perhaps Rick, as a recent Cuban immigrant, is thankful that he was "allowed…to come" to "this wonderful country", but what he failed to realize is that not all Latinos are Cuban. Not all Latinos feel the need to pay respect for being "allowed" in because the fact of the matter is, their people were here FIRST – Before the Anglos. The Mexican people in New Mexico and in much of the Southwest are living on their own ancestral land.
If a person chooses to change their name, as Rick Sanchez did, because they feel it gives them a competitive edge, will help them become more successful, or for any reason at all, that is their prerogative, but no one ever, for any reason whatsoever should be forced to change their name.
We live in a country full of diverse people and diverse names and that is something that makes us special. In the list of "Most Common 1,000 Surnames in the United States", we have:
These are just in the top 100. If you go further you continue to get an impressive mix of Latino and Anglo names. Eventually we get:
#229. NGUYEN (Vietnamese)
#281. O'BRIEN (Irish)
#363. COHEN (Jewish)
#459. WONG (Chinese)
#461. PARK (Korean)
#591. PATEL (Indian)
#683. LEBLANC (French)
#687. CHANG (Chinese)
#753. RUSSO (Italian)
My point, this is a nation of immigrants, get used to it. It won't kill a white person to learn how to say Martín [Mar-teen] instead of Martin.

I always hated how so many American's, obviously not all, think that to be mulit-cultural you need a giant melting pot were everything gets put together and comes out at one… American
Why can't we have a mosaic or salad if you will. Canada isn't all perfect either but this is one time when I'm proud to be Canadian. We don't force people to change names or values and to be Canadian means to embrace your heritage, culture and religion but to live together in one community as neighbours.
What's wrong with a little respect… instead of bullying others to share your same beliefs?
Well said Señora López! I completly agree with you. It was just yesterday I was telling the SO that I thought it was very said that a co-worker from China now went by William… just because he wanted people to be able to pronounce his name. I expressed that I thought more people should be like Yang… and keep their name. They learned how to say "Mandy", I can practice their name too!
P.S. Yang is another coworker lol… I was so worked up about this topic, I forgot that tid bit of info lol!
I like Rick Sanchez too and is indeed very disapointing.
When I got married instead of dropping my maiden name I added my husband's, making my name even larger, (I'm not going to be anonymous anymore) Maria Guadalupe Jaramillo Alvarado de Niel. I always hated Guadalupe, I am not even catholic, so when I became a citizen I had the oportunity of dropping it. Now I am Maria Jaramillo de Niel, just to make my life easier,but american people always call me Mary, Marie, Mary Anne, etc. My response "It is Mari-A" -
I think, as a white person, that this is somewhat making us look like ignorant asses. I mean really, we can learn. We aren't stupid. We can learn how to say a name differently than we have in the past. Or *gasp* learn a new name.
Granted there are some white people who may struggle more than others but we are all teachable.
That hotel owner is a sad representation of the general "white" American population IMHO. Our names, no matter in what country, are our identity in many ways. No one should be forced to change that.
Not to belittle or oversimplify the post and deep comments…..
But forcing anyone to change their legal name is not very nice.
But I don't see what's wrong with having a "work name" that shows up on the nametag that you can answer to in a work setting. Authors have been writing under commercial names for ever, (and so do dancers, actors, artists and other creative types) and no one seems dismayed by it.PS: Mandy, Canada has many chapters of dark discrimination history too, don't be fooled.
I am proud to be a "white female liberal" who has fought for her right to be called Lori (de) Nolasco
This is the type of debate I like to see, even if it gets heated at times. It is much better than taking the "head in the sand" approach and pretending one does not see the enormous elephant in the room.
My husband Ramón does not object to being called "Raymond" or "Ray" at work, but at his present job, everyone uses his given Spanish name. My friend Caridad, on the other hand, adamantly refused to be called a nickname at work because this more affectionate name was reserved for family. "Car-ee-dad" is not so difficult to say. They learned eventually.
My great-uncle felt obligated to Anglicize his Italian surname to find a job in the 1950s. My father was smacked on the hand with a ruler for inadvertently blurting out Italian in class. I have seen the damage that assimilation has done, so it is no wonder that I have taken the liberal, multicultural route.

Dante was right - heaven and hell are about circles. The circling that brought me to West Georgia runs around a life-long appreciation for psychology as philosophy, science, social heuristic, and treatment modality, but mostly as a path through life. I lived and worked in Yucatan, Mexico (a second hearth), and worked in directing two doctoral programs in counseling psychology before coming to the-then State University of West Georgia on sabbatical in 1999. When I was invited the following year to give up tenure, take a pay cut, and commute 100 miles each way from Auburn, I jumped at the chance. And for the last years here I have enjoyed the kindest and wisest colleagues, and the most apt and adequate student classroom companions, that anyone could wish. I am a grateful guy.
In addition to my university work I practice (which is to say, never get �right�) psychology in psychotherapy and assessment, and enjoy these involvements as well. I enjoy music, dogs and cats, living in the country where I can pee outside and where I can see the stars, running and bicycling, fatherhood, and I savor the fierce, healing, and refining companionship of my wife Jeanette.

Greci; I'm impressed that you didn't cry! My friend cried the whole week my goddaughter started school. Are you starting feeling better about the two boys?
Carrot; I'm impressed that you're not having the scan! I would never not have it.
I'm so obviously pregnant now. I'm quite skinny, and I usually wear tight fitting clothes, and the bump is easy to spot. So now is the time to use my cute cute clothes before they get waaaay too tight!!
Hope everyone's doing good!My darling Marian Illyria Aphrodite, March 2013 & Little Bunny (a girl!) due 9th of February 2014

Ottilie -
I don't know why I didn't cry. I'm so happy that he's happy to be there. I just hope tomorrow is as easy as today.
I'm ok... I still keep looking at the ultrasounds to see if it's possible that one might be a girl... but I don't think it is. I did some retail therapy, that always helps. I just want 2 healthy babies.
Last night I moved my leg up, and had a super strong, super weird muscle spasm on the left half of my stomach, literally from my pelvis to my ribs. And when I stretched my leg out, it continued to... ripple(?) seems the best word for it, for a while. It was creepy and I'm wondering if I should call the doctor?
but it made me realize how important the health of our babies is, versus their gender.Mom to:

Healthy baby is the most important. For what it's worth, my friend was told she'd have b/g twins and two boys came out instead! But I think it's more normal that a boy is mistaken for a girl than the other way? I read your blog by the way, so sweet. Weston is so handsome! If I were you I'd call the doctor, just to be safe.

Greci - it sounds like the "round ligament" acting up to me, but it doesn't hurt to call and make sure all is well.
Ottilie - yay for skinny girls showing right away, lol. You can be my buddy in 3 more months when people are saying, "isn't your baby due NOW??"
Carrot - I always turn down the screening tests, too. The results wouldn't change my approach either way, and the incidence of false results is not worth the stress and worry to me. I mean, if it makes a mama worry less to "know" ahead of time then it's probably worthwhile, but I would just worry about whether the test was actually correct or not, so I just leave it until the little one comes. We live in a city with one of the nation's top children's hospitals. I'm pretty confident that in the very unlikely event of needing specialists, we'll have access if the right people. I do want to find out if it's a boy or girl though (even though I don't always believe those either, unless it's REALLY obvious, lol).

Well, I sort of had the stomach muscle feelings again yesterday, so I called my OB. And they immediately sent me to the Maternity Triage at my hospital (it's the Maternity ER) when I said that I hadn't felt the babies in a few days.
they'd never heard of anything like it at the hospital. But they determined that I strained a ligament. Good call @Saracita00!!!
they wouldn't release me until they had both babies on the Doppler for X amount of time.
Baby A cooperated, but Baby B did not. So the nurse went and got help... and then we had Baby B, but not Baby A... these babies were so active you could hear them throwing a fit, moving like crazy. The nurse said that they could actually feel them kicking the monitors.
So, they called my OB, and he ordered a Biophysical Ultrasound. I waited an hour for that. And then it took 90 minutes!!! Suffice it to say, both babies are perfect, and it's my body that hates me.
but I got like 30 more baby pictures, here the interesting notes:
- 2 amniotic sacs and 2 placentas, with 2 cord entry points. Most likely Fraternal twins.
- Baby A is most definitely a boy. No hiding that one at all.
- Baby B... she thinks it's a boy, but because the cord was running between it's legs and it was squished against the uterus, she's not 100% sure, so we wait 3 more weeks for the 20 week Level 2 ultrasound at the Perinatalogist.
- Both of our babies have long arms - maybe a few "Michael Phelps" in the making!
- Baby A measured at 18 wks, 2 days - 5 days ahead, and at 8oz.
- Baby B measured right on the day at 17 wks 5 days, and 7 oz.
- all organs and brains, everything looks great!
So, I just have to take it easy... try to do more stretchy things like swimming, and less walking blocks to get to a Corn Festival. (yes, we did that last weekend.) I will do anything to avoid 4 more hours at the hospital all alone. My sister picked up my son and distracted him, then she took him home, gave him a bath and did his homework. She really is the best. And my husband only beat me home by 20 minutes.
Hope everyone is ok and doing well!!!Mom to:

Nightwish's Band Leader Loves Hiking
Tuomas Holopainen is the main songwriter, band leader and keyboardist of Nightwish, a Finnish symphonic metal band with over 7 million albums sold worldwide. Touring with his band Tuomas has travelled the world only to discover that Finland is the best place on Earth. Tuomas describes himself as an escapist and he is a big fan of fantasy and cartoons. Taking time off his busy rock star life, Tuomas enjoys escaping the hustle and bustle of big cities and retreating to deserted places to both relax and challenge himself in demanding hiking trails.
Leader figure of Nightwish, Tuomas Holopainen recommends:
1. Taivaanvalkeat is where Nightwish stayed earlier this year after their world tour to relax and recharge their batteries. Taivaanvalkeat is an ideal place to experience the magic of Lapland.
"I find Lapland and the fairytale-like world of Taivaanvalkeat inspiring. Its quiet country surroundings offer rustic style accommodation and heavenly food for travellers looking for something different to experience."
2. Herajärvi hiking trail, Koli. For Tuomas hiking is a sort of a purification ritual both physically and mentally. It is a chance to escape crowds and find peace and quiet and physical challenge. Herajärvi hiking trail is a demanding hike through the forests and hills around Lake Herajärvi in the beautiful national landscape. Some hiking trails are too busy for Tuomas' taste – he once managed to go hiking for three days without seeing anyone, which he thought was great.
"Hiking for me is about solitude, sweat, challenge, long trips and asceticism."
3. Café Regatta, Helsinki . Café Regatta is a tiny red cottage at a beautiful spot by the sea in Helsinki just next to the Töölö Rowing Stadium.
"The place reminds me of the Moomins. There is such a special atmosphere which you have to experience for yourself. You can enjoy a cup of coffee and delicious cinnamon rolls in the tiny cottage or at the terrace outside. There is also an open fire outside where you can cook sausages. It's also possible to rent a canoe to explore the beautiful scenery offshore. You can only pay in cash at Regatta, which is rare in Finland, but if needed, they even lend money for their customers, of whom 99 % will come and pay back. It is also the only café in the world where you will get paid for having a second cup of coffee."

Aroma varies around the table from "sour" to "sweet tart".
Funky, bit of the barn, bit of citrus rind.
Mouthfeel is perfect, light, well carbed, crisp finish.
Overall this is is close to perfect. Really missing something in the aroma, and the taste has such faint notes from the oak that you notice it more for its absence.

Vintage: 5/25/2011. Not sure where I got this bottle from, but somehow I have it.
Poured into a Coolship glass, surprising clarity, Champagne-like bubbles feeding a cap of foamy white head that started at about an inch and sank to a thin layer; minor dots of lacing on the glass. Got cloudy as some of the bottom-dwelling yeast made its way into the glass in the second half of the pour. Fruity aroma, citrus and stone fruits, light acid, grassy funk, candi sugar. In the taste, candied grapefruit, wet grass, earth, oak, mild moldy horseblanket, light acidic tartness, and some bready yeast. Maybe a little less tart and a little more sweet than your typical, authentic, Belgian gueuze, but it worked well nonetheless. Drinking very good for 3 years old. Light-medium body, easy drinkability, with a crisp mouthfeel. Nice overall.

Thanks to UWBadgerFan4Life for this beer! Thanks alot chad! This beer has been a long time want!
375ml C&C bottle; bottled on 4/12/2013.
moderately loud pop as cork was removed from the bottle; poured into a Cantillion Wine stem.
Appearance: glowing and moderately hazy golden yellow bodied beer. Thin cap of white head that drops to a ring around the glass.
Smell: This is such a giant funky bomb. Dusty, musty, dirty, wet basement that is a moderate to heavy funkiness.
Taste: Wow. This is a serious funk bomb! Yeast and minerally flavors. Funk is huge. It tastes like wet moldy basement meets dirty sweaty gym socks. Lots of brett notes that are earthy and also slightly fruity. Mild tartness finally kicks in at the end of the beer in the form of acetic notes, oak barrel/general woodiness, and lemon juice.
Mouthfeel: light bodied beer with moderate carbonation. Soft, supple, and creamy mouthfeel. Semidry finish. Really drinkable. A quick flash of carbonation that eppervesces as it rolls onto the tongue.
Overall: This beer is soooo seriously funky that I think this maybe the funkiest beer that I have drank yet to date. It reminds me alot of Cantillion Classic Gueuze. It might even be significantly funkier than the Cantillion Classic Gueuze. Phenominal mouthfeel on this gueuze! It seems that Allgash has some serious finesse with thier coolship! Gotta be a funk lover to appreciate this brew! This is probably my least favorite of the Allagash Coolships brew that I have sampled, but this beer is still something special. I have a tendancy to lean more towards the fruited coolship brews vs the non fruited coolship brews; thats just my personal preference.

Thin head (1 ½ fingers), quickly dissipating to a thin bubbly line (appropriate for the style). Beer is a saison-like golden straw or lemon color, extremely cloudy, and just barely translucent at all. Very, very bubbly.
Sharp Brett, lemon, and wheat through the nose. Nice barnyard funk, very rustic.
Extremely sharp flavor, although not overly tart, that envelopes a slightly cheesier funkiness on all sides. Some lemony tartness, wheat, and more Brett. Super, super tasty.
Extremely crisp mouthfeel: very, very lively. Tastes like a lighter beer, but really is a pretty hefty feel, about medium-full. Thick and cloying. Great balance.
This is a fantastic beer. It has just enough tartness to come across as a Gueze, although it could easily pass for a Brett Saison. I don't know quite what to say; it's a fantastic beer, and makes an easy intro to the world of Lambics, Guezes, sours, or wild ales. Extremely drinkable, especially for the style.
Thanks to my friend Sean for the gift of this brewery-only release!
