The city of Manila, or lungsod ng Maynila, is the cosmopolitan capital of the Philippines, and one of the cities and municipality that comprises the Metropolitan Manila area. It lies on the western coast of the island of Luzon, at the confluence of the Pasig River and the Manila Bay where it is surrounded by fertile plains. The city is surrounded by the cities of Quezon and Caloocan to the north, San Juan and Mandaluyong to the east, Pasay and Makati to the south, and the Manila Bay in the west. Its total land area of 38.55 km² is resided by a population of over 1.6 million, making it the second most populous city in the Philippines.
Manila started as a Hindu, Buddhist, and Muslim settlement on the banks of the Pasig River. It derived its name from the Tagalog phrase "may nilad" referring to the nilad or mangrove plant that grows abundantly in the area. In 1571, the conquistador Miguel Lopez de Lagazpi defeated the settlement's reigning monarch, Raja Sulaiman, and declared the country a colony of Spain with Manila as its Capital.
The city has served this purpose even during the American occupation, after defeating the Spaniards and ending the 300 years of Spanish rule, and Japanese invasion during World War II. In 1948, after gaining independence from the United States, the newly formed republic moved its capital to neighboring Quezon city. The capital was once again given to Manila in 1976.
More about Manila
As the country's capital, Manila serves as the seat of the Philippine government. Located in the city is the official residence and office of the country's Chief Executive–the Malacañang Palace. Also found in Manila are the headquarters of several government agencies, such as the Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, National Bureau of Investigation, Central Bank of the Philippines, and the Departments of Justice, Finance, Budget, Tourism, Health, and Labor and Employment.
Due to its prominent role, Manila is also home to many historical sites that had All been significant settings in the country's history. Among these is the medieval walled city of Intramuros, the once Spanish garrison Fort Santiago, and Luneta Park, which was the Spanish execution, grounds for Filipino rebels and mutineers. The Philippine's national hero, Dr. Jose P. Rizal was executed at the site on December 30, 1896 and became a catalyst for the Philippine revolution.
Manila's rich history and political importance only adds to the appeal of this modern cosmopolitan on the bay. Adding these up with the city's lively businesses, its equally rich multi-cultural residents, and the breath-taking Manila Bay sunset ultimately makes Manila a fascinating modern urban city that provides a unique experience to anyone who will call on her.
Residential Places in Manila
There are many modern condominiums found in the city to provide students and people who want to relocate in Manila accommodations in the congested residential neighborhoods of Manila. Some of these condominiums are found at the bayside along Roxas Boulevard, such as the Bay Gardens, Ocean Tower, and Bay View. All condominiums provide a spectacular view of the Manila Bay and are conveniently located near one of Manila's major thoroughfares.
Other condominiums are found in the district of Ermita, such as the Robinsons Place Condominium Residences, which is annexed to the Robinsons Place mall at Padre Faura Street. Aside from conveniently sitting next to the mall, it is also near prominent nightspots in the area and prestigious universities, such as the University of the Philippines, St. Paul University, and De La Salle University. Another prominent condominium in Manila is Le Mirage de Malate that stands on A. Mabini Street in Malate.
Hospitals and Universities of Manila
The Philippines has been attracting many medical tourists to have their medical procedures done in the country's top medical institutions. This is due to the high quality healthcare that these institutions provide at a lesser cost compared with European or American healthcare providers. In addition, many Philippine hospitals are equipped with most modern medical facilities, as well as staffed with well-trained healthcare professionals that exhibit that unique Filipino care.
Manila has many private and government hospitals. Both hospitals provide their patients with the same standard of healthcare, although private hospitals may be equipped with more modern facilities and better accommodations than their public counterparts. The city also has several hospitals recognized by the Department of Tourism as participants in their Medical Tourism Program.

Manila is also the study capital of the Philippines because of the numerous institutions for higher education found in the city. Many of these colleges and universities are clustered at a defacto district called the University Belt, or U- belt, which refers to the southern tip of España Boulevard, Nicanor Reyes Street, the eastern tip of Claro M. Recto Avenue, Legarda Avenue, Mendiola Street, and their surrounding side streets. The area also generally includes the district of Intramuros and the stretch of Taft Avenue in Malate and Ermita. These areas form an asymmetrical crescent shape, thus giving rise to its name.
Among the colleges and universities that are found in this are three of the Philippines' most prestigious universities—the University of the Philippines-Manila (UPM), De La Salle University-Manila (DLSU), and the University of Sto. Tomas (UST).
Located along Taft Avenue in Ermita, the state-owned UPM is the oldest constituent university of the UP system. It is a prestigious tertiary school for health sciences with its course offerings in medicine, occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech pathology, dentistry, nursing, pharmacy, and public health. As it exercises administrative supervision over the Philippine General Hospital, the said institution functions as a teaching hospital for its medicine and nursing students. Besides health sciences, the university also offers courses in arts and sciences.
Also on Taft Avenue in Malate is the private Catholic institution of De La Salle University. DLSU is well known for its degrees in business, economics, engineering, education, liberal arts, the sciences, and computer studies. It was the first of only two universities to receive the highest-ranking set by the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges, and Universities (PAASCU). The PAASCU is a private organization involved in the accreditation of academic programs that have met commonly accepted standards of quality education. Some notable alumni from DLSU are Secretary Rolando G. Andaya of the Department of Budget and Management, General Santos City congresswoman Darlene Antonino-Custodio, the owner/developer of the Araneta Center in Cubao J. Amado Araneta, and Eduardo M. Cojuangco Jr, president of the United Coconut Planters Bank and Chairman-CEO of the San Miguel corporation.
The Pontifical and Royal University of Santo Tomas, or simply University of Sto. Tomas (uST, is a private Dominican university situated along España Boulevard in Sampaloc. Established in 1611, it is the oldest Catholic university in the country. The title "Royal" was given on March 7, 1785 by King
Charles III of Spain, and the title "Pontifical" on September 17, 1902 by Pope Leo XIII. It is recognized for its degrees in architecture, law, medicine, business administration, education, engineering, music, and its other degrees in the fields of literature, philosophy, and the sciences. It had produced many Philippine national heroes such as Jose Rizal and Apolinario Mabini'
Philippine presidents Manuel L. Quezon, Sergio Osmeña, Jose P. Laurel, and diosdado Macapagal; Supreme Court Justices Cayetano Arellano, Victorino Mapa, and Jose Abad Santos; and other prominent political, military, and church figures.
Other prominent colleges and universities in the U-belt are Centro Escolar University, San Beda College, Far Eastern University, University of the East, Adamson University, Philippine Normal University, Collegio de San Juan de Letran, Mapúa Institute of Technology, and the Pamantasan ng Lung sod ng Maynila.
Commercial Places in Manila
The Industrious nature and merchant spirit of Filipinos are clearly evident in the numerous commercial establishments found along the major thoroughfares and side-streets of Manila, particularly in the districts of Quiapo and Divisoria. These districts are known for their flea markets and rows and rows of stores that sell their merchandise at rock-bottom prices. Traditional Filipino handicrafts and delicacies, cheap electronic products, and cameras are among the attractions in Quiapo, while Divisoria is a bargain center for clothes, textiles, clothing accents, toys, and a variety of retail products. Whether found at street stalls or at air-conditioned shopping centers of Tutuban Center and 168 Mall, all products in Divisoria are at bargain prices.

Mabini and Adriatico Streets, SM Carriedo, in Sta. Cruz, and Isetan and Ever Gotesco along CM Recto Avenue.

Kirsten Dunst And Garrett Hedlund Look For Her Lost Kitty [PHOTOS]
Kirsten Dunst was spotted looking for her lost cat with the help of reported boyfriend Garrett Hedlund. The pair were seen yesterday (February 2) riding around in bikes and posting "Lost Cat" flyers for Tazzy in their neighborhood of Toluca Lake, CA. February 02, 2012.Actress
I'm not believing any of this, but reportedly Kristen and Garrett have reportedly been talking marriage!
"Kirsten and Garrett have only been together for a few months but they are crazy about each other," reveals a source close to the couple who spent last week looking loved-up in Utah for the Sundance Film Festival.
"Kirsten wasn't looking to settle down but in Garrett she's found a guy she's really comfortable with. They've become inseparable to the point where the subject of marriage has come up."

"Fans of 'Dredd' who have been wanting an official sequel might have some good news on the horizon. Ever since the first film's release, there has been a call for a follow up. While there was one released in comic form back in January that doesn't help those of us who want to see it on the big screen. There has been so much interest that a petition was made backed by the publisher as well as a fan made series called 'Cursed Edge'.
While the film had been a financial failure at the box office due to a horrible marketing campaign, it did extremely well on video which gave many hope. The latest hope is from Karl Urban who was being interviewed at a 'Star Trek' event in Frankfurt, Germany and the first question asked to him was about a 'Dredd' sequel. His response? That they are in "discussions" about the film."
Another report from What-Culture,
"Karl Urban said ''conversations'' are taking place between the studio, the director and writer Alex Garland. He commented that the cinema release of Dredd was badly handled but the film had found its audience on DVD and it has been noticed by the studio. "
It seems that after Chuck Norris topped JCVD's epic splits trucks video by doing them in between two moving jets, Jean-Claude Van Damme had to rebound with an even more impressive feat...
The splits in outer space!

Silver linings playbook
Direction: David O Russell
Actors: Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence
Rating: ****
He's a former high-school teacher recently discharged from a psychiatric institution where he was treated for bipolar disorder. She's a young widow who's similarly depressed following the death of her cop husband.
Is there any reason for these oddball characters to fall for each other? Not really, but as director David O Russell argues, no matter how messy or fraught with anxieties their lives seem, they might just be right for each other.
The insightful script, adapted by the director from the black-comic novel of the same name by Matthew Quick, makes us care about their relationship as it unfolds. Returning home to live with his parents (Jacki Weaver-Robert De Niro, both brilliant), the mentally fragile 30-something (Cooper, in a career-defining performance) is determined to reunite with his ex-wife, never mind that she's moved on. Never one to give up hope, he's convinced that "if you stay positive, you have a shot at a silver lining".
Meanwhile, his mercurial new ally (Lawrence) promises to act as a go-between with the estranged spouses. In return, she demands that he become her partner for a dance competition. The rollicking climax conflates the outcome of the ballroom dance-off with a football match on which the family patriarch has bet his life savings.
There are several funny scenes like the one where their son barges into his parents' bedroom in the middle of the night to rant about the tragic ending of Ernest Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms.
Russell convincingly manages a risky blend of humour, sadness and genuine unpredictability. In one of his rare recent film roles, Chris Tucker is in fine fettle as the inmate forever attempting to flee the loony bin. And our own Anupam Kher fetches up in the small but significant role of a somewhat ineffectual therapist.
A comedy-drama with a subversive tone, Silver Linings Playbook is recommended for romantic cinephiles.

Tony Stewart makes late move to win at Daytona
There are 70 comments on the Buffalo News story from Jul 7, 2012, titled Tony Stewart makes late move to win at Daytona. In it, Buffalo News reports that:
Tony Stewart emerged the winner, charging past Daytona 500 winner Matt Kenseth on the last lap and holding on as the challengers stacked up behind him Saturday night in one of Daytona's trademark wrecks.

As usual, 150 boring laps, actually 160. The green white checker was the best part of the race. Unfortunately we have decided Daytona & Talledega are much cheaper to watch @ home. It was an exciting finish and we were glad to see Tony win.The after race fireworks were the best I have seen since the Great Circus Parade up in Milwaukee.
#2 Jul 8, 2012
did the reporter miss the FACT that Tony led quite a few laps before that last caution?????
#3 Jul 8, 2012
it is very interesting that the reporter missed the last 3rd of the race in which Tony led every single lap until that last caution.... very interesting
#4 Jul 8, 2012
Did Kayne actually finish 7th?
Czech Republic
#5 Jul 8, 2012
Well, Kasey DID help Tony win! Wonder how they celebrated?
#6 Jul 8, 2012
Kenseth had the car to beat, led the most laps, sat on the pole, and got robbed of a victory sweep. Having said that glad to see Hendrick Power go to victory lane but not happy that it was Fat Tony. Somebody check his car! Coming from 42nd to 1st he HAD to be "cheating". It's not like he ever does well @ the summer Daytona races. ;p The Punt Artist sure were out in full form last night auditioning for the Carolina Panthers. Those Tap Dancer wearing Tutu drivers got ahold of 5x as well as others. JJ, trying to pit waved his hand to signal and Truex Jr. was, as usual not paying attention, daydreaming about Danica in a two-piece. Damn, JJ was really killing those restricter plate races this year too I thought. ;P

You Say Tony Cheats yet Chad and Jimmie have gotten caught several times. Save the BS.
#8 Jul 8, 2012
I think I know who that poster is who is defending JJ and Chad, as usual. One guess. People just can't get it through their thick skulls that JJ and Chad are the worst cheaters in Nascar. Sure, they might all cheat at some point, but not to the extent that JJ and Chad do. They just thumb their noses at Nascar, knowing Nascar treads lightly when it comes to that pair.(of cheaters, I might add)
#9 Jul 9, 2012
Right again there Girl Wonder. People have thick skulls? Your one guess is up. They will not stop @ trying to get a leg up on the competition. So it seems JJ and Chad "cheat" all the time. They also win all the time and have 5 championships in a row. Anybody ? The Dinger about taking illegal drugs???
#10 Jul 9, 2012
Yep. They cheat; they win. Enough said.
United States
#11 Jul 9, 2012
actually, since Matt went into the pits but did not stop like his teamate Biff,, Biff is the one who got robbed of his up front position.. If you know restrictor plate racing,, the leader for the last 3 laps generally does NOT win.. Tony did an AMAZING job. Tony has actually won quite a few of the July Daytona races..
United States
#12 Jul 9, 2012
as for dinger,, can we wait to get facts first??? Penske is standing behind him, Walmendinger racing is standing behind him.. who knows?
#13 Jul 10, 2012
All nastiness aside, have you heard from Granny? Did I read somewhere on this forum that her grandson was killed in the war? Nothing else was posted about it. Hope she is doing okay.
#14 Jul 10, 2012
He's won four of the last eight.
#15 Jul 11, 2012
Well I was right, people. Fat Tony WAS CHEATING!!!! Failed post inspection and docked 6 points. Gee, I was kidding when I said he HAD to be cheating coming from 42nd to 1st to win but didn't think he would be found GUILTY of it. BAAAHHH!!!

#18 Jul 11, 2012
How the heck did he cheat when he had a mistake on his car? Face it, JJ and Chad are the biggest cheats
#19 Jul 11, 2012
Just to make things clear, it was a post qualifying inspection that he was penalized for. There was no post race infraction.
#20 Jul 12, 2012
That's even worse. I'd watch Fat Tony from now on. He now has to cheat to keep up with the competition.

I had serious bleeding during my surgery that required my surgeon to close quickly. How can I be sure my surgery was completed?
During my open rhinoseptoplasty, I had some pretty serious bleeding complications. In fact, at some point during surgery the bleeding became so intense that they had to quickly close me up. My surgeon said that he was able to complete everything that needed to be done during my surgery. But what are the chances that this intense bleeding actually started right at the end? Is there a way for me to really know if the surgery was in fact completed 100%?
Doctor Answers 6
Bleeding with surgery
The best way to know if everything was completed during the surgery is to ask your surgeon and wait for the result. Good luck. Donald R. Nunn MD Atlanta Plastic Surgeon.
Rhinoplasty Bleeding during Surgery
Dear Tangbugg, In my thirty years of rhinoplasty expertise it is extremely rare to have excess bleeding during a rhinoplasty surgery and certainly not to much bleeding to be closing a case quickly. Do you have any hereditary bleeding problems? To reduce the risk of bleeding I have all of my patients stop taking aspirin, ibuprofen or aspirin containing products, or other medications that are associated with bleeding several weeks before surgery. This also includes herbs and vitamins which are known blood thinners. With that said the best person to discuss your surgery with is your surgeon as he/she will be able to tell you what happened during your procedure and if the bleeding did in fact cause any interruptions of the surgical plan. I also run a preoperative bleeding time to see if the patients have any clotting problems. If you have any further surgery you may want to have a workup ahead of time. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.

I had serious bleeding during my surgery that required my surgeon to close quickly. How can I be sure my surgery was completed?
While bleeding can certainly occur during any nasal surgery, it is very rare to have bleeding issues that might require a premature termination of the procedure. Rather, if that occurs there might be other medical issues going on such as uncontrolled high blood pressure that require a surgical procedure to be stopped. You should clarify these issues with your surgeon as has been stated already by others, there would no reason for your surgeon to be less than truthful.

Typical amount of blood loss during rhinoplasty, septoplasty
It would be exceedingly rare to encounter bleeding so intense that the nose would have to me "quickly closed up". This sounds strange for a couple of reasons. First, it is rare to lose anything more than a minimal amount of blood during the course of an entire rhinoplasty/septoplasty surgery (typically less than the volume of blood taken for labs). Second, if there was "intense" bleeding, this bleeding should have been controlled before closing up. Meaning, the bleeding should have been stopped before closing.
The only one to know for sure what was or was not done during surgery is your surgeon. Ask him to address your concerns.
The only one to know for sure what was or was not done during surgery is your surgeon. Ask him to address your concerns.
I agree with Dr. Menachof and would tell you to just ask your surgeon what occurred and when. There should be no reason for him to hide anything from you. Dr. Corbin
Web reference: http://www.noseexpert.com
I Understand Your Concerns- But Why Would Your Surgeon Lie?
I understand your concerns but your question is a curious one. Do you have any reason to believe that your surgeon would lie to you? Ideally, your choice of your surgeon occurred not only because of the surgeon's level of expertise (there are plenty of us who are technically very good), but also because of a level of comfort you had with him. Although most surgeries go smoothly, there are always things that can happen. If they do, you need to know that the surgeon you choose is going to use good judgement, do what is in your best interest, and be honest and truthful with you. If you had concerns about any of these things before the surgery you should have continued to look for a surgeon. While I am sure there are surgeons who are not completely truthful with their patients when unexpected things happen, me and most every surgeon I know always tell the truth. I would hope (and do expect) that yours is telling the truth as well. Thinking about it logically- having so much bleeding that you have to close early is a very unusual problem and is likely due to an underlying bleeding issue with you and not due to an error on the part of the surgeon (sometimes things happen that are out of our control). In this case, if he had to close before he was done, he was doing it with your best interest at heart and if he wasn't done, you will certainly find this out when the swelling goes down and you see the final result. If this was the case, it would have been in his best interest to tell you. In any case, I would call his office and set up a time to sit down and talk to him about your concerns. Good luck.

Chronicles of a Traveling CrossFitter
On Saturday July 3rd Coach DP & BM took a little field trip to our neighbors box CrossFit East Sacramento. There we were greeted by head trainer Justin Riley who welcomed us with a smile!
Athlete after athlete trickled in till there was about 30 of us! That was quite a large group. Definitely larger than Dan and I are use to especially for a Saturday morning. The energy was good and the people were exceptionally friendly. I've had the honor of judging some of the athletes from CrossFit East Sac at the CrossFit Nor Cal Sectionals, and CrossFit Southwest Regionals. Furthermore, Dan and I have had the opportunity to meet some others at past events CrossFit East Sac has hosted at their box. We felt that stopping by for a WOD would bring both of our boxes closer and make for an even tighter CrossFit community.
The morning started out with a warm-up that consisted of GHD work, Pull-ups, Ring Push-ups, and our favorite DOUBLE UNDERS. Once through all of us finished that we moved straight into a barbell warm-up. After each athlete had completed the recipe on the whiteboard Justin split up the group into teams of 5. Our task…establish a 1 rep max split jerk.
Dan and I were placed in different groups based on the weight we thought we could lift. Working with new people was exciting and being with a new group of people allowed me to work out of my comfort zone which I don't often get to do. The women in my group were just as supportive as the women in our box and immediately I felt at home. With all that encouragement I PR'd at 163lbs. Dan worked with along side his group and was able to put up an impressive 205lbs. We were pumped to say the least. Thanks to the coaching we've received we were confident in our form and technique with this lift. Because of this confidence we are able to go to any box and know that we can perform well.
Once everyone reached their max it was off for a 5k jog! thankfully it was still early so it wasn't blistering hot! The 3.1 miles was a nice recovery/cool down for us both we kept a decent pace but also held a conversation for the entire 28 mins oops not much intensity till the last 400 meters. All in all it was a great experience. Everyone was awesome and friendly, we got a great workout and made some new friends in the process. We finished off the 2 hrs with a traditional ice cold brew!
Coach DP and I encourage everyone who is interested to check out a different box. Whether you're on vacation or traveling for business it can't ever hurt to branch out.
Thanks to our friends at CrossFit East Sac. We will see you soon! Best of luck to you at the 2010 CrossFit Games.

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court HTML version
The Smallpox Hut
When we arrived at that hut at mid-afternoon, we saw no signs of life about it. The field
near by had been denuded of its crop some time before, and had a skinned look, so
exhaustively had it been harvested and gleaned. Fences, sheds, everything had a ruined
look, and were eloquent of poverty. No animal was around anywhere, no living thing in
sight. The stillness was awful, it was like the stillness of death. The cabin was a one-story
one, whose thatch was black with age, and ragged from lack of repair.
The door stood a trifle ajar. We approached it stealthily--on tiptoe and at half-breath--for
that is the way one's feeling makes him do, at such a time. The king knocked. We waited.
No answer. Knocked again. No answer. I pushed the door softly open and looked in. I
made out some dim forms, and a woman started up from the ground and stared at me, as
one does who is wakened from sleep. Presently she found her voice:
"Have mercy!" she pleaded. "All is taken, nothing is left."
"I have not come to take anything, poor woman."
"You are not a priest?"
"Nor come not from the lord of the manor?"
"No, I am a stranger."
"Oh, then, for the fear of God, who visits with misery and death such as be harmless,
tarry not here, but fly! This place is under his curse--and his Church's."
"Let me come in and help you--you are sick and in trouble."
I was better used to the dim light now. I could see her hollow eyes fixed upon me. I could
see how emaciated she was.
"I tell you the place is under the Church's ban. Save yourself-- and go, before some
straggler see thee here, and report it."
"Give yourself no trouble about me; I don't care anything for the Church's curse. Let me
help you."
"Now all good spirits--if there be any such--bless thee for that word. Would God I had a
sup of water!--but hold, hold, forget I said it, and fly; for there is that here that even he
that feareth not the Church must fear: this disease whereof we die. Leave us, thou brave,

We checked into the hostel, signed up for a trip to the Volcano at over 15,000ft., and headed out for some dinner. Manizales is a nice city with a big student population, being Friday night it was busy
Our jeep to the Volcano left at 7am. The street stands here have changed from sunglasses to toques and gloves. Even though we are at the Equator the temperature is cool and the Volcano is always covered in snow. As we climbed up the Volcano the landscape changed from tropical hills, to cloud forrest, desert, lunar landscape, and finally snow. Here we have just recovered from our sunburns in Paradise (aka Tayrona Park) and now we are about to freeze our cans off.
We stopped a few times up the volcano to acclimatize, first for breakfast and hot chocolate, then for a few cups of Coca tea, then for an intro to the area at the ranger station. At the top of the hike we will be at almost 16,000 ft. After starting the hike below the snow line the lack of oxygen was pretty intense. The walk up took 2 hours, the top was cold and Arik taught the Colombians how to roll a serious Canadian snowball
On the trip down we stopped for lunch and a dip in a hotsprings glued to the side of the mountain. Everyone was feeling pretty out of it due to altitude sickness. The water was a ridiculous 60 degrees celcius. Back at the hostel we took in a power nap to try and get rid of the altitude sickness and then joined some Colombias we met on the Volcano trip for some Salsa.
We had heard Colombians love to dance and they definitely do. The entire place was rockin out to Salsa, Reggaton, and other latin beats. The only western song we heard was Robbie Williams.
Unfortunately we slept in a bit late and after calling our friend from the pizza place he was already out on his horses...instead we checked out the towns Church, which dominates the skyline. It is the 2nd tallest in the Americas and the 5th tallest in the world. The view from the top was spectacular. There is a big theatre festival in town aswell so we checked some of that out, accidentally walked into the ghetto, and hoped on a bus south to a sleepy town called Salento.

Category: nameberry guest bloggers
Guest blogger Skye Pifer, of Sarasota, Florida, co-authored "The New Grandparent Name Book; a lighthearted guide to picking the perfect grandparent name," with her mother, Lin Wellford, who lives in the Arkansas Ozarks.
I guess you could say my mom is something of a name fanatic. She picked out my name when she was still a little girl, after seeing it in one of her aunt's movie magazines. Soon after that, she modified her own name, one she points out, that is shared by at least a million other girls born in the late 1940's through the mid-1960's; Linda. She tried to get people to call her Lynn but public school teachers seemed determined to use the name on her records. Only after the fresh start of college did she try again, spelling it 'Lin,' and that time it took.
So when she learned I was expecting, it didn't take my mother long to began wondering what her grandchild-to-be should call her. In our family, grandparenting names are pretty personal. My maternal great-grandparents called themselves "Gramma and Gran." Another set were "Mamaw and Pampaw." My own grandmother (the person who stuck my mom with 'Linda') was certainly old enough to be a grandmother when I came along. But she rejected all the more standard grandmother names and elected to be called "Mutti" (a German version of 'Mom.' She's now in her late 80's and is known as Mutti not just to her eight grandchildren, but also to our spouses, friends, and now several great-grands as well.
Because she was aware that the name she picked was likely to stay with her for the rest of her life, my mom was determined to choose one that made her happy. It needed to suit her personality, not be super-common, and sound good coming not just from a toddler but also from a teenager. We both began paying attention to what other grandparents were calling themselves, jotting down various options to try them out. I discovered how inventive people in my parent's generation are when it comes to their grandparenting names.
I'll admit that I hoped Mom wouldn't come up with anything too off-the-wall. I kind of cringed at the thought of her being a Bubbles, or Glamma. There are so many options for variations along more traditional lines, like Nanna, Gram or MeMo. Or she could have picked a name from another culture, like Oma, which is German, or Abbi, short for Abuelita, Spanish for grandmother. Noni, Peaches, Sonoma, G-Ma, MoMo, and Grindi, are just a few of the more unusual names we ended up collecting. My mom's cousin is a professional nanny caring for a set of twins whose grandparents call themselves Rocky and Kitty. My cousin's in-laws go by Bubba and Bama. One of Mom's friends confessed that she hoped that if she ever had grandchildren, she'd ask them to call her Granzilla! Luckily, in the end, Mom decided upon using Mimi as her grandmother name. My dad was not that picky, so when I suggested he be 'Popi', he was happy to go along with that.
Want your child to grow up to be an attorney? Name him John…..or maybe Elizabeth, says guest blogger Conrad Saam, who's done a groundbreaking new study on lawyer's names over the past 200 years.
If you have aspirations that your kiddo will someday grow up and earn his Juris Doctorate, the time to start planning may be now – with the right name. Through nameberry, you now have access to the most comprehensive analysis on lawyer names ever completed.
I run marketing for an online legal directory called Avvo where we help people make an informed decision when hiring an attorney by rating and profiling over 90% of the lawyers in the country. As such, I have access to the most comprehensive data on lawyer first names ever assembled – data culled from state bar records from across the country and reaching back as far as 1808. That's about 1.5 million lawyers overall.
I grouped the names for each decade going back through the 1950's. Because our data gets more sparse with age, I built two more groups, one from the first half of last century and one for the 1800's. I then compiled lists of the top 20 names for each time period. The date associated with each name is when the attorney was accepted by the state bar – which in general is about 25 years after the baby-cum-lawyer was named (so you need to really be thinking ahead).
Obviously, these lists correlate with popularity of names over time, but the actual results are amazingly consistent and defy many overall name trends. Eight of the top twenty names show up in all the groups: every decade starting in the 1950s, the 1901-1950 group and even the Top 20 list from the 1800s. These are, in order of overall frequency:
We are honored to have as today's guest bloggers Don and Alleen Nilsen, recent co-chairmen of the prestigious American Name Society, writing about the clever use of literary allusions in the thirteen Lemony Snicket books.
As long-distance grandparents, we are constantly on the lookout for books that we can enjoy listening to on CDs while we commute to work and can then forward to our children to enjoy with their children while they make their own commutes. Daniel Handler's thirteen Lemony Snicket books have been the all-time winners in this category, and one of the reasons is Handler's skill in recycling the names of literary or pop culture figures to make playful allusions.
Humor scholars use the term Wabbit literacy (from "that wascally wabbit" in the Bugs Bunny cartoons) to describe the flip-flop process in which children become acquainted with the names of classical figures through pop culture allusions prior to meeting the same names in "the original." The Lemony Snicket books are a superb illustration of this process as children meet Dr. Georgina Orwell, an eye doctor who hangs an ever-watchful eye over her door; Uncle Monty, who as a herpetologist cares for a huge python; a villainous couple named Esmé and Jerome Squalor who live at 667 Dark Avenue, c.f. J. D. Salinger's short story "To Esmé with Love and Squalor," and Mr. Poe, who has a son named Edgar and is the appointed guardian of the children's inheritance which is placed in the Mulctuary Money Management Bank.
JILL BARNETT turns her sharp eye and keen name sensibility on names that you love but just, because of bad associations, can never use.
As a style-conscious four-year-old who knew that lime green bellbottoms and patchwork Holly Hobby skirts were cutting edge chic, I had recently grown tired of my boring shoulder-length locks. Unable to think of any glamorous looks aside from a pageboy, life took a seemingly fortuitous turn one day when my mom took me to Friendly's for a five-star grilled cheese sandwich and fries. Our server's name was Claire, and in addition to having a name I absolutely loved, she sported my dream hairstyle at the time: a ponytail in the back with feathered chunks of hair resembling earmuffs on the sides, likely held in place with a jug or so of glistening Aqua Net.
After returning home from lunch, I did what any logical preschooler in need of a classy coiffure would have done: I found a pair of scissors, crawled up onto my bathroom counter so I could be closer to the mirror, and tried my best to recreate the glory of Claire's ravishing 70's hairdo. Becoming a hairstylist clearly wasn't in my future, however, because I somehow managed to give myself a raging reverse mullet, complete with a multitude of stray vertical tufts.
In a panic, my mom quickly took me to the hairdresser, who was thankfully able to even out the ends, but for a good three months, my hair resembled a cross between Austin Powers and Friar Tuck. To this day, while I love the name Claire, I sadly know I can't bestow it upon a future daughter because it's too connected to my childhood hair trauma, and because I've long since referred to my unfortunate bowl cut as "The Claire."
And while Claire was the first gorgeous name I realized I could no longer use due to a negative association, it unfortunately wasn't the last. Please join me in paying tribute to some of my favorite names that have committed the dreaded crime of guilt by association:
ALICE: As I was paying my bill at a diner, a customer approached the woman named Alice who was working behind the cash register, politely saying, "Exuse me, ma'am. My turkey sandwich doesn't taste right. I think it's spoiled." Not missing a beat, the woman, who had used self-tanner to the point of resembling an Oompa Loompa, grabbed the man's sandwich from his plate, took a huge bite out of it, and said with a snarl and a mouth filled with food, "It tastes fine to me!" Clearly hoping to be named Employee of the Month, the woman returned the sandwich to the customer as he stood in disbelief, and then promptly shooed him on his way.
Guest blogger Jennifer Maselli finds herself nursing Baby Name Fever, and the only (elusive) cure is the perfect name.
Since finding out that our third and final child – due this fall – is a girl, I have become afflicted with something I like to call "Baby Name Fever." I've been hit with The Fever before, but never quite this hard. Because this will be our last baby, I feel an urgency, a great pressure, to find the right name for her.
It's made me a little crazy.
I've started carrying baby name books around with me wherever I go so that I can look up names whenever they pop into my head.
"But officer, I wasn't talking on my cell phone. I was looking up "Keturah" in this baby name book."
"Step out of the car, ma'am."
"But I need to know what it means!"
I spend hours trolling the Internet, reading all the name blogs and boards, obsessively digging through the Social Security website and the London Telegraph baby announcements.
"Mommy, when are you going to get off the computer? I'm hungry."
"I'll be right there."
"You said that 3 hours ago!"
I've begged my friends to please release their reserved baby names back into the general population so that I can use them.
"I know Frances was your dead grandmother's name, but do you mind if I use it?"

Slugfest in the Nanotech Trenches
If baseball fans think the war of words between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees is getting testy, they should take a trip into the world of nanotechnology research, where the folks in lab coats are starting to make the ballplayers look downright chummy.
On Feb. 1, Hewlett-Packard (HPQ ) announced what sounded like a major breakthrough in a press release enthusiastically titled, "Eliminating the Need for Transistors." The release said HP had built a tiny, molecule-scale switch called a "crossbar latch" that could perform the so-called logic operations of a computer on an unprecedentedly small scale (see BW Online, 2/1/05, "HP Prints a New Chapter in Circuitry"). "We are reinventing the computer at the molecular scale," said Stan Williams, a senior HP fellow, in the release.
Competitors in the field weren't so impressed. "I frankly think it's less significant than they are making it out to be" says Mark Horowitz, a physicist who specializes in circuitry and computer chip architecture at Stanford University, just down the road from HP's Silicon Valley research labs. "They aren't saying any mistruths, but there are more hurdles that need to be overcome in order for this to have" an actual integrated circuit. Other scientists were less polite, one even going so far as to call HP's news "twaddle."
So who's right? It's hard to say. Williams is one of the most respected researchers in the emerging field of nanotechnology and has been an outspoken pragmatist about its potential (see "A Nanotech Pioneer's Sober Assessment"). He's clear-eyed about his own research, and he says the first simple computer memory products based on his work probably won't hit the market for five years.
He even jokes that he has been so outspoken about the need to turn down the nanotech hype that other researchers have stopped inviting him to nanotech business conferences. "Many of the hypsters were trying to make a quick buck one way or another," he says.
To many, such scrapping among a field's luminaries may seem just a bit, well, unseemly, if not more than a little entertaining. But the truth is, scientists are a lot more competitive than you think, and the crossing of research swords is really nothing new. From electronics in the '50s to the dot-coms of the '90s, every new technology has its "irrational exuberance" stage -- complete with buzzwords, pie-in-the-sky predictions, testy exchanges among researchers, and a dozen false starts for every major breakthrough.
No doubt, that's where nanotechnology research is right now. Scientists are learning how to unlock extraordinary capabilities in commonplace materials by manipulating them on a molecular -- sometimes atomic -- scale. Nanotech has the potential to create everything from faster and smaller computer chips, to smart medicines, to straight-flying golf balls, and even car windshields that repel water without wipers (see BW Cover Story, 2/14/05, "The Business of Nanotech").
But in a field with literally thousands of possible applications, a huge gap often exists between what's theoretically possible in a lab and what can be reliably produced for commercial use. For nano-entrepreneurs and scientists, that gap makes the field especially tantalizing. And it makes it all the more frustrating when a competitor's press release claims he has jumped that gap with ease.
So how can you tell who's the real deal? The term "nano," for the most part, means little more than a size in the range of 1 to 100 nanometers. The width of a human hair, for example, is about 80,000 nanometers. The technology side of the equation comes into play with research into the surprising behavior of various materials when manipulated on that tiny level.
That research encompasses thousands of niche applications in physics, chemistry, and biology. So far, simple applications of nanotechnology, like using ultrafine particles to strengthen composite materials, are already available. More sophisticated uses are on the way. But materials with the most incredible theoretical applications, such as integrated circuits built with superstrong, superconductive carbon nanotubes, may prove impractical to develop commercially, or fail on their way to market.
Match high expectations in a wide-open field that's more of an emerging science than an emerging industry and you have a recipe for sniping. With few companies offering products yet and even fewer seeing significant sales, most nanotech players are in a mad rush to win a piece of the estimated $5 billion in research funding earmarked by the U.S. government for universities and labs everywhere from California to Albany, N.Y.
Meanwhile, investors, venture capitalists, and large corporations are all still suffering from a tech-boom hangover. "Nobody is raising venture capital today who doesn't have a deep and abiding memory of that boom" says Matthew Nordan, an analyst at Lux Research, a nanotechnology research firm (see "High IPO Hurdles for Nanotechs"). As a result, they're much more cautious about funding this time around, Nordan says.
Nanotech startups, academic institutions, and corporate labs must fight like mad to show they're the true pioneers -- and worth the investment. The result: The nanotech business climate is like an old-time gold rush, only with a lot less land to grab.
"People are staking out intellectual-property territory," says Kelly Kordzik, a patent lawyer with Dallas-based firm Winstead, Sechrest & Minick, and head of the Texas Nanotechnology Initiative, a consortium of nanotech companies and research labs in the Lone Star State. "It's a patent land grab, and a technology land grab." Each company hopes one or two of the several hundred nanotech patents they apply for will strike pay dirt down the road, while showing venture capitalists and government officials that they're the technology leaders.
The tension is apparent in niches as specific as nano-powered tennis rackets. French company Babolat claims its NCT racket (for Nano Carbon Technology) is twice as stiff as a normal racket because it incorporates carbon nanotubes into the structure, while American racket-maker Wilson says its own nCode racket is stronger because it uses nano-size silicon dioxide crystals, which is something akin to finely ground sand.
"I don't want to rag on them, but I can't imagine [Babolat] adds any significant amount of nanotubes to make [their racket] play any better," says Brian Severa, global director of technology at Wilson's racket-sports division. "The tubes probably just stick together -- the benefit probably isn't even there."
Babolat's retort? "Babolat is the first company to develop and distribute a nanotech tennis racquet [and] the qualities conferred by the inclusion of nanotechnology are quite evident" a company representative wrote in an e-mail.
In such a hypercompetitive environment, using public relations to promote your accomplishments -- while accusing others of hyping their stuff -- seems to be the strategy of choice for "fencing in" an area of nanotechnology, says Bob Crowley, the founder of AMBIT Corp., which looks for applications that can take advantage of a nano-material called multi-walled carbon nanotubes.
The tubes, which look like rolled-up cylinders of graphite, have shown a range of exciting capabilities, from high conductivity to enormous durability. "The patent landscape is so complex that only the lawyers and a few inventors have a good grasp" Crowley wrote in an e-mail. Announcements like HP's in February are meant to establish them as a leader in people's minds early on, says Crowley.
A "media alert" sent out on Feb. 16 by Carbon Nanotechnologies, a maker of single-wall nanotubes, a slightly different variety from Crowley's, is a good example of the action/reaction nature of nano-research. The announcement was simply that the company had registered its 30th patent in nanotube production.
But competitors sniffed gamesmanship. Showing it has a strong hand on nanotube patents "has been [Carbon Nanotechnologies'] strategy," says Daniel Resasco, founder of Southwest Nanotechnologies, a competing manufacturer of single-walled nanotubes. "That's the game they're playing -- that anybody working with nanotubes has to work with them."
Carbon Nanotechnologies is no slouch. It's one of the leading nanotube producers, and among its founders is Rice University Professor Richard Smalley, a Nobel prize winner. But competitors are unimpressed because they say the Texas company is just as reliant on a single IBM (IBM ) patent for the technology as anyone else. Carbon Nanotechnologies "seems to be doing media alerts every week," says Crowley. "But I suppose if I had the money that they have, I'd be scheduling some kind of events, too."
"We're pretty proud of our [intellectual-property] position -- there's no question about that" says Ken Smith, vice-president for technology at Carbon Nanotechnologies, which has raised more than $35 million in funding. "But we don't [make announcements] every week."
Tell that to the competition.
In a five-part special report, BusinessWeek Online will try to separate the myth-making from reality and the sniping from the justifiable critiques. It will look at health concerns created by research into the supertiny. It will explain nanotechnology's peculiar investment climate, talk with HP's Williams about his research, and explain why the most interesting nano-related companies aren't necessarily in the tech industry's traditional geographic hotbeds.
For a technology that makes materials behave in ways they've never done before, it makes sense that the industry itself is growing in a way no other industry has before.
