How a Roman soldier who was martyred by the emperor Diocletian came to be the patron saint of England is a long story. And I've touched on it in other blog posts. Today, our local community here in south London celebrated St George's Day with some battle re-enactment. It was France (booo!!!) versus England (hurrah!!!). Lots of good fun and a surprise – France was allowed to win! I snapped some of the action on my iPhone.

Richard III to be buried this week – 500 years after his death
Often viewed as one of the most evil monarchs England every endured – Richard III was immortalised by Skakespeare (100 years after the king's death) as a wicked hunchback capable of murder and deceit. Richard was notorious for allegedly having his two young nephews confined to the Tower of London and then killed in secret.
He was killed at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485, bringing to an end the House of York and ushering in the House of Tudor. The whereabouts of his body had been a mystery until it was discovered under a car park in the English city of Leicester. Scientific analysis of the bones confirmed the identity and this week will see his formal burial in Leicester cathedral.
There had been demands for him to be returned to York but he will be interred in Leicester. Should you ever visit that city, I advise you to raise a pint in his memory at a pub named in his honour: The Last Plantagenet.
Now – I have to say that Richard III does not fall within the Templar period, he reigned 150 years after the order was suppressed. But it's this week's major medieval event in the UK with media from twenty countries attending. And it seemed wrong not to mention it.
Here's some memorabilia that I picked up in York from campaigners who – very seriously – are determined to clear his bad name. They think he's been a victim of Tudor propaganda.
Stealing bits of Roman statues in the Middle Ages
During the Templar period, the patron saint of Venice wasn't Saint Mark but Saint Theodore of Amasea. He was one of those martyrs during the Roman period. His statue was placed on top of a pillar in what is now Saint Mark's square but the original medieval statue – now removed to a museum – was actually cobbled together from bits of Roman statuary. This wasn't an uncommon practice and given that the saint was high up on a pillar, nobody would have noticed the odd artistic arrangement.
I photo'd this on my trip to Venice last year and found it quite amusing. The torso is clearly a Roman emperor wearing decorative military armour. The head doesn't fit but is also Roman – possibly the ancient king Mithridates of Pontus. The legs, however, do look medieval. Somehow, the ensemble seems to work.
Venice is full of these slung together bits of Roman artwork put to the service of medieval buildings – Saint Mark's cathedral is a right hodge podge including items stolen by the crusaders from Constantinople during the Fourth Crusade.
The ill treatment of Jews in medieval Lent
I've got a large collection of very old books, which I browse for this blog. And in one 1826 almanack, there's a few pages about a disturbing custom practised in the Middle Ages: the stoning of Jews. It appears that from the sabbath before Palm Sunday to the last hour of the Tuesday before Easter, "the Christians were accustomed to stone and beat the Jews". Any Jewish person not wishing to be assaulted, just had to pay whatever monies were demanded.
This looks suspiciously like extortion under a religious guise. This sort of anti-semitism was pretty rife at the time with Jews seen as the Christ-killers as well as disliked for their role as money-lenders – a role that Christians had more or less forced them into, by excluding them from other professions.
In 1262, Londoners broke into many Jewish homes and murdered seven hundred people in cold blood. King Henry III handed over their ruined synagogue in Lothbury (a street that still exists) to the friars of the sackcloth. Another synagogue became the church of St Olave in a street called Old Jewry (which you can still see as well).
The Templars in Lincolnshire
Interesting news article HERE from the Scunthorpe Telegraph about the Templars in Lincolnshire – a county in eastern England. It name checks Bottesford Preceptory, one of several Templar estates in the county. A Preceptory, by the way, was a Templar manor and would include farms, mills, workshops, living quarters, a great hall and a chapel. There was a vast network of Preceptories across Europe stretching from Wales to the Holy Land.
Templar preceptories in Lincolnshire included Witham and Aslackby as well as Great Limber and Temple Bruer. It must be said that today's remains give little away – in some cases, there's nothing left. Temple Bruer, for example, was used for military exercises but you'll only find a farmyard there now.
If you are planning a visit to Lincolnshire, you do have the splendid medieval cathedral at Lincoln and nearby medieval buildings to sate your interest in this period of history.
If you have any further information about the Knights Templar in Lincolnshire – do share!
The Christmas must read for all Knights Templar!
Christmas in the year 1144 – the city of Edessa falls to the Seljuk Turks. For weeks, the crusader stronghold has been besieged by Muslim forces and on this most holy day to Christians, it capitulates. On the 26th December, the Turks storm in. This book – Quest for The True Cross – tells how in those turbulent hours, the True Cross is stolen by brigands and sold to the Saracens. Eventually, it's spirited away to the Muslim kingdom of Al-Andalus (modern Portugal and Spain). Only one man can retrieve that sacred object – the Templar knight, Sir William de Mandeville.
But William has his own problems. Stationed in Jerusalem, the bloodshed and savagery of the crusades has taken a heavy toll on his mind. At night, he's convinced a demon comes to visit and taunt the young knight for his personal failures and weakness. Back in England, his own family has rebelled against King Stephen and brought great dishonour to the name De Mandeville.
Together with his Syrian servant Pathros and an English peasant boy Nicholas, William journeys to Al-Andalus to retrieve the True Cross. But when he arrives, he discovers the only way to get the cross is to conquer the impregnable city fortress of Al-Usbunna. Somewhere within that Muslim metropolis is the very wood upon which Christ was crucified. A combination of courage and foresight will be needed to get inside the walls of Al-Usbunna and find the True Cross. And in so doing – William will be able to slay his demon.

Ten things you never knew about the Knights Templar
Bit of festive fun – here are ten things you may not have known about the Knights Templar – add your own facts in the comments below:
The Templars allegedly ran a white slave trade
Let's start with a contentious claim made by Michael Haag in his book The Templars – that the Knights Templar were involved in trading Turkish, Greek, Russian and Circassian slaves brought from the east and set to work in their preceptories in southern Italy and Aragon. The centre of this grim trade was the Mediterranean port of Ayas in the Armenian kingdom of Cilicia. Turkish or Mongol slavers would capture or buy these unfortunate human beings then sell them to the Templars. I'd be very happy to be told that this is complete tripe. But it's recorded in various sources.
Saladin specifically slaughtered the Templars AFTER the Battle of Hattin
The battle at the Horns of Hattin in 1187 was a disaster for the Knights Templar and the crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem – Saladin and his saracen army emerged totally triumphant. In the aftermath, countless Christian soldiers were sold as slaves – so many that the price went down to 3 dinars each and one was reputedly sold in exchange for a shoe! Initially, the Templars and Hospitallers were also sold off as slaves. But Saladin then decided that he really wanted all the Templars slain – without exception. Those who had bought Templars were compensated with 50 dinars each and the knights were then brought before the Muslim ruler. Conversion or death was the choice. It seems few decided to convert. There are accounts from both sides of what happened next – a grisly mass beheading often carried out by zealous individuals and botched very badly. In revenge, Richard the Lionheart would later execute 3,000 prisoners at Acre in one of the worst war crimes in history.
The Al Aqsa Mosque was the global headquarters of the Knights Templar
Even today, the Temple Mount in Jerusalem is fought over – a holy place that inspires bloody hatreds. In the early 12th century, it was firmly under the control of crusader Christians. The Dome of the Rock was renamed the Templum Domini and the Al Aqsa Mosque became the HQ of the Templars – sited on what was believed to be the palace of Solomon. Beneath were Solomon's stables, or so it was thought, and abundant rumours that hidden somewhere on the site was the Holy Grail….or the Ark of the Covenant. Much of the existing mosque today was of Templar era construction.
England's crown jewels were pawned by King Henry III to the Templars
Facing a rebellion by his barons, King Henry III of England sent the crown jewels to the Temple in Paris for safekeeping and to raise money for his fightback. The previous king, John, had made a series of concessions to the same barons by agreeing to sign the Magna Carta. The Templars were broadly supportive of the kings as both advisers and bankers (and pawnbrokers!).
Templars were not – strictly speaking – priests
While the Knights Templar did take the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience – they weren't actually priests as such. Barbara Frale in her book on The Templars points out that the knights were not allowed to administer the sacraments as they weren't formally ordained. And she argues that priests could not wield a sword in battle. Instead, they had their own Templar chaplains assigned to their houses to say mass. But by 1300, many Templar houses didn't have chaplains. So their spiritual needs had to be administered by priests from other orders.
One monarch donated his kingdom to the Knights Templar
It wasn't a popular move but King Alfonso of Aragon donated his kingdom to the Templars at his death. The Templars were very active in the "reconquest" (reconquista) of modern Spain and Portugal from Moorish (Muslim) rule. It's often forgotten that the Templars were active on many fronts – in the Middle East, eastern Europe and southern Europe. The caliphate ruling the Iberian peninsula was remarkably tolerant and urbanised for the standards of the time with Jews, Christians and Muslims living together. But kings like Alfonso were determined to drive out the caliphs and the Templars assisted in this process. They often took control of dangerous areas in the no-man's land between Christian and Muslim control. Alfonso rewarded their bravery with a big portion of his kingdom when he died but this was reversed afterwards by the counts of Barcelona.
Offshore banking was invented by the Templars
Most of you will know that the Knights were also bankers. You could deposit wealth in one of their preceptories – say at the Temple in Paris – and with a credit note they would issue, you could make a withdrawal at a preceptory in outremer (Christian controlled territories in the Middle East). This meant not having to haul heavy caskets of bullion around with you. But the Templars went a step further and had treasure ships located offshore from which crusaders could make withdrawals safely.
Charges against the Templar included "adoring a cat"
The framing of the Templars was a shabby episode with popes and kings working together to destroy the Order. Various ridiculous charges were trumped up including inappropriate kissing in various parts of the body, denying Christ, venerating idols, operating to secret codes and…..adoring a cat.
Templars were accused of behaving like Muslims
In the frenzy to blacken the name of the Knights Templar – their critics pointed to the fact that some of them allegedly spoke Arabic (well you would being in the Middle East for a while and wanting to understand your enemy's documents and messages). They also claimed that the Templars performed rituals medieval Christians falsely attributed to Muslims. According to Helen Nicholson in her book The Knights Templar – this included worshipping idols of Mohammed (sic!!), Apollo and Jupiter. Plus spitting on crucifixes. The church loved to tell stories of Muslim Saracen soldiers urinating on the cross to antagonise crusaders. Of course, Muslims do not revere idols – certainly not of the Prophet – and the accusations against the Templars are just absurd. But it worked at the time!
The Spanish and Portuguese nationalised the Templars
The kings of Spain and Portugal more or less took over the Knights Templar. In Spain, the king took the powers of the Grand Master whereas in Portugal a successor order was created called the Order of Christ. The latter organisation was even based at the old Templar preceptory at Tomar – a stunning church you can still see today.

GSP says he would give up his title to fight Nick Diaz
GSP 'ates Nick Diaz (professionally, not personally) so much that he recently told friend and training partner Kenny Florian he would give up his title for the opportunity to fight him.
Just prior to the Condit Diaz fight, GSP laid out his feelings.
"It is weird that I want Condit to lose," said GSP. "But I have never wanted to fight anyone as much as I want to fight Diaz. I don't truly 'ate him as a person. I don't know that he is a bad guy, but I 'ate what he brings to the sport with the disrespect and the unprofessional things he says and does. It is sort of a professional 'atred. He has been nothing but disrespectful and arrogant towards me ... I am determined to get back to the Octagon as soon as possible to fight this guy."
When Diaz lost a decision to Carlos Condit at UFC 143 in Saturday night, the idea of GSP's next fight being Nick Diaz appeared to have lost too.
However, on Tuesday UFC Tonight host Florian said that after 143, GSP told him he wants to fight Diaz so badly that he would be willing to give up his title.
Later Tuesday night news broke that a rematch between Diaz and Condit is in the works, so once again GSP may sit and hope that Diaz, who he 'ates (professionally) comes out on top. But even if Condit wins again, there is a chance that GSP's first fight back is not for the title, but simple because he (professionally) 'ates Nick Diaz so badly.
Wednesday Diaz' coach and manager Cesar Gracie said Diaz could not fight for a year, reasons upspecified, so GSP's hopes of fighting Diaz may not come to pass for a long time, no matter what.

I love how they quote GSP exactly the way he sounds and replace the "H" that we all know is SUPPOSED to be there with an apostrophe. Hahahaaha. 'ate, 'atred, 'aterade........the possibilities are endless.

Gsp even knew that Diaz won the fight, its awesome he's doing the right thing.Don't forget condit only wanted to fight diaz after gsp said all this. Condit realized he should stop listening to Jackson and take a sip of reality,,, no one gave him love for that gift of a decision

GSP is becoming like those boxers that scrap their belts to get the fights people want to see. Take a poll and see which one people want to see more. The INTERIM championship showed that the belt means nothing. It just gives the UFC someone to parade around. Nobody cares about Condit now. People want to see GSP in a fight, not some tactical leg tapping contest against Carlos Condit. MMA needs a big alphabet soup of titles that mean nothing like boxing and have the fighters take the fights that people want to see. UFC blocks out 1/2 the people that can beat UFC fighters. Gilbert Melendez would beat Frankie Edgar - not so sure about Ben Henderson though. Luke Rockhold would take apart a lot of UFC guys, Tim Kennedy could compete in the UFC too. Leave Tyron Woodley in Strikeforce.

i will make alot of money wagering on this fight when/if it happens, diaz has next to zero chance.gsp will kick him, slam him, and beat his face in with elbows and punches.
2/9/12 3:23 AM by OnlyTheStrongSurvive
people act like if GSP's next fight isn't Nick Diaz it's never gonna happen. You could make gsp's next fight after Condit win or lose. I can't see gsp giving up his title and disrespecting Condit like that. Hes too professional imo

MIAMI (August 14, 2007) – Newly crowned NABF light welterweight champion Frankie "El Gato" Figueroa, in a reality short time period, has gone from counseling rebellious teens to tormenting opponents in the ring. The Spanish Harlem-born, Bronx-raised Figueroa (17-2, 13 KOs), now fighting out of Miami, captured his NABF title belt on July 28, stopping former NABA champion Ubaldo Hernandez in the 12th round.
Hernandez' portfolio includes a win against former IBF title challenger Moses Pedroza, as well as going the distance with current WBA lightweight champion Juan Diaz, WBC title challenger Vivian Harris and hot junior welterweight prospect Demetrius Hopkins.
Figueroa, a 2-time New York City high school champion wrestler who was 14-0 his senior year, didn't get off of the mat and into the ring until seven years ago, when he took a friend's suggestion and walked into the nearby Morris Park Gym in the Bronx.
"Wrestling has helped me as a boxer," Figueroa explained. "It helped my balance, conditioning and determination. Some fans have told me I should be a mixed martial arts fighter with my wrestling and boxing background, but I'm 29 now, so I'm going to stick with boxing. I'm joining a wrestling club in Florida and do it just as a hobby, never while I'm preparing for a fight."
Frankie responded to an ad for a childcare counselor and worked four years with children and teenagers with behavioral problems. Figueroa grew-up in a tough neighborhood, but he stayed in school and out of trouble, concentrating on sports.
The son of a single mother, Frankie's life had dramatically changed when he was six, the year he first lived with the Morrissette family in the small Vermont town of Troy, thanks to the Fresh Air Fund. "I lived with them during the summer from the ages of six through 17," Figueroa remembered. "One year I attended a Catholic school there. It was a completely different experience for me. I became an alter boy, learned to ski, milked cows. I lived a double life. I had the good fortune of having two families. I adapted to changes and had a blast. My Vermont family
is very proud of me. My brother, Roger Morrissette, watched me win the NABF title. I have a brother and sister in Vermont and a brother and sister in the Bronx. I just hung out living in the Bronx; I never got caught up in drugs, or doing something that would send me to jail, nothing. I've always wanted to make both of my families proud of me."
Due to his relatively late start in boxing, as well as a slap of amateur boxing reality, Frankie's amateur career lasted only 2 ˝ years. He fought in the 147-pound division, winning his first 14 matches, before losing in the semifinals of a national tournament to Juan McPherson, 16-14, and then Alvin Aconta in the Golden Gloves.
"McPherson has over 200 amateur fights and they (USA Boxing) wanted him fighting for them on ESPN, not me," Figueroa noted. "It was boxing politics. I never had a chance with my style of just coming forward and fighting, going to the body instead of slapping punches for points. So, I decided to turn pro."
His pro debut was November 8, 2002, winning a four-round decision against Richard Dean at Club Amazura in Jamaica, New York. Figueroa then hit the road and fought in places like Savannah (Georgia), Winston-Salem (NC), Atlanta, Detroit and Sarasota. His first loss was by four-round majority decision to hometown favorite Troy Wilson in Atlanta. Frankie's only other career loss was in his 10th pro fight to Francisco Rincon (8-1) in Poughkeepsie, New York.
"My first loss was a joke," Figueroa added. "I dropped him and they called it a slip. Then I got head butted. I don't even consider it a loss. I got hit with some good shots (against Rincon). My inexperience showed. I had the balls, but my legs weren't there. He was the better man that night but I'm proud I kept fighting after I went down. I learned a lot."
Three fights later, Figueroa stopped Hector Alejandro, Jr. (10-1) in the sixth round for the New York State lightweight title. Frankie followed that bout with a 10-round decision versus Maximo Cuevas (7-2-1) for the vacant WBC Intercontinental Mundo Hispano welterweight crown.
Figueroa came of age on 11/11 (November 11) in 2006, successfully defending his New York State light welterweight championship against highly touted prospect, unbeaten Joey Rios (14-0), by 10-round majority decision at the famed Madison Square Garden.
A third-round TKO of veteran Antonio Ramirez (24-14-6) this past March 2 was Frankie's last fight in New York, at least for a while, because he relocated in North Miami. "I was based in New York State but I was fighting on the road and there wasn't a real buzz about me in New York City," Figueroa remarked. "I had been my own business manager and my new promoter, Seeno Group, bought out my contract. I'm living in Miami in great weather with my own apartment and a car. I like it here where I'm isolated. I never was one to go to clubs in New York City and I don't hit them in South Beach. I am building a good following in Florida."
Frankie, a U.S. Army veteran who has a son named Frankie, III (aka Ian), gained invaluable experience sparring with the likes of Miguel Cotto, Ricky Hatton and Arturo Gatti. In fact, he really enjoyed training camp with Cotto in Puerto Rico, where Frankie has family in Santurce.
"After winning the NABF title, I'm where I want to be right now," Figueroa concluded. "I think boxing all of the time, but it really isn't my life. I like going on line. I hope to defend my title this year and fight for a world title next year. I'm in all out wars, that's who I am. I'm a boxer-puncher but, more than anything, I'm a fighter. I like seek-and-destroy missions, but I can play chess, too. I go all out, balls to the wall, all of the time.
"My new manager, Sal LoNano, is going to get me a world title fight. He's been in this business a long time. I signed with him because of his experience. He helped Micky Ward make millions of dollars and he got my good friend, (IBF junior welterweight champ) Paulie Malignaggi, two world title shots in a year. We really get along well. He's a funny guy and so am I. I never knew pay scales, but now I just concentrate on fighting; Sal's protecting me."
Figueroa is nicknamed "El Gato" – The Cat – because he was the only one quick enough to catch a cat that was a mascot at his original gym in the Bronx. This cat is a fan-friendly fighter who, at 29, is all in and ready to make noise in the 140-pound division.

Strange Fit
"I ordered my normal size 7.5. They seemed to run a bit wide and a bit long. The heel area did not fit snugly and there is a weird elastic band inside the heel - did not have any idea why it was there. I also had some toe cleavage and the sides pinched my feet.

Janet Jackson ft. Ciara - Feedback (Remix)
Artist: Janet Jackson
Featuring: Ciara
Producer: D'Mile & Darkchild
Album: Discipline
Avg Rating: 4.0 ( 26 votes )
In December, when Janet Jackson released her new single Feedback, it marked the return of JJ's groundbreaking style; one that has influenced oh-so-many pop and R&B divas. For the remix, one of the more obviously influenced examples has jumped on board and looks to give some feedback herself. While the audio alone is definitely a treat, many listeners will likely be left imagining what an old-generation / new-generation on-stage collaboration would be like if Ciara joined the skilled veteran. One thing they won't have to imagine, however, is what Janet has in store for her new studio album. Discipline hits stores and online retailers on February 26th.

New Study Points To Link Between Brain And Hot Flashes
Connie K. Ho for redOrbit.com — Your Universe Online
Researchers from the University of Arizona recently investigated the factors behind the hot flashes that many women experience during menopause and discovered a region in the brain that could cause the uncontrollable feelings of heat that arise during the first couple of years of menopause.
The team of investigators was interested in learning more about the biological mechanism behind hot flashes, which can affect both males and females and usually includes symptoms like profuse sweating. The scientists found a group of brain cells called KNDy neurons that may serve as a kind of on-off switch for hot flashes.
The neurons are based in the hypothalamus, a part of the brain that manages a number of important body functions as well as acts as the mediator between the central nervous system and hormone signals.
"Although the KNDy neurons are a very small population of cells, our research reveals that they play extremely important roles in how the body controls its energy resources, reproduction and temperature," explained the study´s lead researcher Melinda Mittelman-Smith in a prepared statement. "They are true multitaskers."
The findings of the study were recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"KNDy neurons respond to circulating estrogens," Mittelman-Smith explains. "When these hormones are at very low levels, as is the case in menopause, these neurons go haywire if you will. They grow very large and manufacture several times more neurotransmitter than they did with estrogens present."
The researchers looked at KNDy neurons in rats and developed an animal model of menopause to explain how the biological mechanism of temperature controls would respond to a withdrawal of estrogen, a hormone that initiates the changes that occur along with menopause. The scientists found that the rats whose KNDy neurons were inactive also had a lower skin temperature. Based on these findings, they believe that the neurons control the process by which the blood vessels are widened to increase blood flow through the skin, a biological phenomenon known as vasodilatation.
"The hallmark of hot flashes is vasodilatation," noted Rance, who also works as a neuropathologist at the University of Arizona Medical Center. "When you flash, your skin gets hot and you can see the redness of the skin. It is an attempt of the body to get rid of heat, just like sweating. Except that if you were to measure core temperature at that point, you would find it is not even elevated."
The study used rats because their skin temperature also goes up following the removal of ovaries in a process that mirrors menopause in women.
"Rats regulate heat dissipation with their tail because the rest is covered by fur," added Rance in the statement. "In rats without ovaries, the lack of estrogen causes vasodilatation, which we can measure as increased tail skin temperature."
The scientists then compared the results of the rats of intact KNDy neurons to the rats with inactive KNDy neurons, and found that the skin tail temperatures were lower when there was no KNDy activity.
"They have lower levels of vasodilatation," Rance said. "It is very consistent. Their tail skin temperature is lower than rats with normal KNDy neurons and stays low. It doesn't matter if they have estrogen or not; it doesn't matter if it's night or if it's day."
Rance was unsurprised that some of the same neuronal switches that are important for reproduction also play a role in thermoregulation.
"Being able to regulate body temperature is very important for the species and also for reproduction because it is important for a pregnant woman to avoid extreme hyperthermia. Hot flashes are a symptom of hyperactivity of these neurons."
Even with these results, the researchers believe that KNDy neurons are not the main center for regulating body temperature.
"These animals would be in much more trouble if that were the case," Mittelman-Smith said. "In fact, I don't view KNDy neurons as a thermoregulatory center at all, but rather a group of cells that has the ability to influence thermoregulatory centers."
The researchers believe that this is a step in the right direction in terms of understanding hot flashes.
"Obviously we can't do these studies in women, and only if we understand the mechanism is there a chance of developing therapies. All that is known so far is that dwindling estrogen levels have something to do with it but anything after that is a black box," said Rance.
"Right now the only effective way of treating flashes is estrogen-replacement therapy. If we could figure out what is causing those flashes, we could try to develop a better, more targeted therapy."

Montoya switch bigger for NASCAR than Formula One
By Alan Baldwin
LONDON (Reuters) – NASCAR will welcome Juan Pablo Montoya
more than Formula One will miss the hot-tempered Colombian.
The McLaren driver's decision at the weekend to trade the
glamour of grands prix for the good ol' boys of U.S. stock car
racing in 2007 made more than a ripple on both sides of the
Montoya and Chip Ganassi, the team owner with whom he won
the CART title in 1999 and Indy 500 at the first attempt in
2000, announced on Sunday that they were joining forces again
in a multi-year deal.
If the main reaction in Europe was surprise, it was not so
much because the 30-year-old race winner — one of the sport's
big names — was turning his back on Formula One but where he
was going.
Formula One, with an emphasis on cutting-edge technology
but little overtaking, is to the rough and tough, wheel-banging
world of NASCAR what steak and champagne are to hot-dogs and
Montoya's exit will have little impact on the Formula One
driver market, with the Colombian already struggling to find a
race seat for 2007 in the face of general disinterest.
McLaren have signed Renault's world champion Fernando
Alonso for next year and have young Britons Lewis Hamilton and
Gary Paffett waiting in the wings if Kimi Raikkonen goes to
Ferrari or Renault as expected.
Montoya had plenty of admirers, particularly for the way in
which he squared up to Ferrari's Michael Schumacher and refused
to be intimidated.
But times have moved on. Schumacher is no longer the
dominant champion and Montoya, who shunted team mate Raikkonen
out of this month's U.S. Grand Prix at the first corner, was
running out of options.
"The thing is, why would anyone want Montoya?," one
unidentified team principal told Britain's Autosport magazine
last week.
"We know he can be quick, but he comes with so much baggage
and seems to have lost some of the fire he had at Williams.
There are almost certainly better options now."
Frank Williams, whose team gave Montoya his Formula One
debut in 2001, expressed some regret, however.
"Juan is a feisty and very determined driver and when he
was really on form his overtaking ability was outstanding," he
told the Guardian newspaper. "But he always liked racing in the
USA and in a sense this decision means that he's returning
NASCAR bosses have reason to be delighted. Montoya is a
hero to millions of Hispanic motor racing fans and ticks all
the right boxes.
"It's an historic announcement to have someone of his
international success and caliber," NASCAR president Mike
Helton said at the weekend.
"Anybody who follows motor sports naturally would know his
name. It puts us on an equal plane with every form of motor
sports there is internationally."
Montoya added: "To be able to help NASCAR expand into the
Latin market with a Hispanic driver is good. I think we're all
winners here."
Ganassi said that Montoya had called him up and told him he
wanted to drive the number 42 Dodge vacated by Casey Mears.
Money was not a factor.
"When people think of moving from Formula One to NASCAR,
some people think I'm crazy," Montoya told reporters in
"But I think it's exciting. I think it's a great challenge
for my career. Coming here is probably going to be my toughest
challenge ever."

Mexico is restricting television advertising for high-calorie food and soft drinks, as part of its campaign against obesity, the government says. Such ads will be banned with immediate effect on terrestrial and cable TV between 14:30 and 19:30 on weekdays and between 07:30 and 19:30 at weekends. Restrictions will also be imposed on similar ads shown at the cinema. Seventy percent of adults and 30% of children in Mexico are obese or overweight, official figures suggest.
Mexico restricts soft drink TV ads to fight obesityJuly 16, 2014
Mexico enacts soda tax in effort to combat world's highest obesity rateJanuary 16, 2014
A groundbreaking tax on sugar-sweetened beverages recently passed in Mexico could provide the evidence needed to justify similar laws across low- and middle-income countries and cities in the US, experts believe.
Campaigners and public health experts are watching closely to see what impact Mexico's tax has on consumption. Mexico, where 32.8% of the population is obese, is now the country with the biggest weight problem in the world, according to the UN's Food and Agricultural Organisation, overtaking the United States. The impact on health has been serious – 14% of the population has diabetes. Rates of high blood pressure, which can lead to stroke and heart attacks, are also high.
Health Battle Over Soda Flares in MexicoAugust 29, 2013
The Wall Street Journal, 8/28/2013
The public-health battle over sugary soft drinks, punctuated by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's failed attempt to ban big sodas, has spread to Mexico, long a stronghold of Coca-Cola Co.
This summer, a series of ads splashed across buses, billboards and along subway platforms here in the capital showed 12 heaping spoonfuls of sugar next to a roughly 20-ounce bottle of soda. The ads asked: "Would you eat 12 spoonfuls of sugar? Why do you drink soda?" The ad campaign has fueled a fledgling movement to rein in Mexico's heavy soda consumption.
Obesity in Latin America: Battle of the bulgeJuly 30, 2013
For countries with rich culinary traditions that date back to the Aztecs and Incas, Mexico and Peru have developed quite a taste for modern food fashions. Mexicans quaff more fizzy drinks than any other country; Peru has the highest density of fast-food joints in the world. Chile, one of the world's biggest exporters of fruit, doesn't eat much of it: processed foods account for more than half an average Chilean's shopping basket. Even in slender Brazil, the eating of sweets and junk food has risen fivefold in 30 years.
Not all waistlines have met this barrage of sugar, salt and fat in the same way, but across much of Latin America and the Caribbean the trend stands out like a muffin top. The Food and Agricultural Organisation, a UN agency, says the region has become the most overweight in the developing world. In contrast to 1990, when the fat epidemic took off, far more years of healthy life are now lost in Latin America through overeating than through hunger.
Risk of Deadly TB Exposure Grows Along U.S.-Mexico BorderMarch 11, 2013
The Wall Street Journal, 3/8/2013
He was like many people in their early 20s, at least the type with spiky black hair and two lip rings. Four years ago, while living in this teeming border city, Gonzalo Garcia says he spent free time in the U.S., to shop, meet girls, and "hang out." He had no idea he was developing a potentially deadly form of tuberculosis. Exactly how long he had it will never be known. He says he started losing weight and becoming tired and tried to get help. But it took a year before a doctor finally figured out what was wrong: He had a drug-resistant strain of TB. "Many doctors said I was just fine," said Mr. Garcia, sitting in the clinic where he was cured.
To this day, it isn't clear if he infected anyone on either side of the border while he was contagious. But his tale illustrates a nagging concern among health officials who say the 2,000-mile border between the U.S. and Mexico could become a breeding ground for one of the hardest forms of TB to treat. Already, both California and Texas, as well as some states on the Mexico side of the border, have unusually high rates of drug-resistant TB.
Disease Kills 5 Babies in Southern MexicoJanuary 7, 2013
ABC News, 1/7/2013
Authorities in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas say a bacterial disease has killed five babies and sickened 41 others in a remote indigenous community that is experiencing a wave of intense cold and rains. Chiapas' health department said Sunday in a statement that residents of Emiliano Zapata in the municipality of Yajalon have been urged to stay in their homes and avoid contact with others to prevent the spread of the bacteria that is causing the infection, which is characterized by coughing and fever. Authorities are looking into whether it is whooping cough.
Mexico facing a diabetes 'disaster' as obesity levels soarNovember 21, 2012
Kansas City Star, 11/21/2012
A fifth of all Mexican women and more than a quarter of men are believed to be at risk for diabetes now. It's already the nation's No. 1 killer, taking some 70,000 lives a year, far more than gangster violence.
Public health experts blame changes in lifestyle that have made Mexicans more obese than anywhere else on Earth except the United States. They attribute changes to powerful snack and soft drink industries, newly sedentary ways of living and a genetic heritage susceptible to diabetes, a chronic, life-threatening illness.

Welcome to Sailnet, sailorswife. I hope you stick around long enough to get to know us (and feel comfortable enough to tell us your name). Perhaps you can even teach some of these hardened guys a thing or to or at least give them something to think about to make them pause the next time they open their mouths to yell.
Since you said that you read through this entire thread, you are indeed a brave soul for posting anyway. I am not in your position on our boat and I suspect the women who are and read this thread will probably not contribute but sometimes it only takes one pebble to start the avalanche.
Be that as it may, Sailnet has as members some strong women sailors who are willing to help their sister sailors, whence the reason for the HerSailNet forum was started even if the men do lurk in the shadows before jumping out at the unsuspecting (and contribute here more than the women). Just don't forget that we're here and we're out
. We don't always entirely agree with each other, but we have no problem disagreeing in a respectful manner that I hope certain men take note of.
Three that come to mind who I know have reached out to sailors on the water and have provided me with a lion's share of inspiration are wingnwing, melrna and Denise. I hope to be them when I grow up.
So welcome and I hope you stick around. When you get the required number of posts feel free to PM me if you have sailing questions or concerns or fears you want to air and don't feel comfortable bringing up before the peanut gallery. If I don't know the answer, I'll know who to ask.

NAS boom spells trouble for users
The NAS market is thriving, which is great news for vendors, but for users dealing with the manageability of these systems, it gets complicated.
The numbers are in for the NAS market and, if you're a NAS vendor, 2004 looked pretty good. Last year, the number of NAS units shipped was up by 25% over 2003. Even more impressive was the number of terabytes (TB) shipped -- almost double (99%) year over year.

Classic cars take centre stage this month
Concours d'Elegance car shows are a chance to ogle some historic stunners
This is Pebble Beach weekend ? and I?m not talking about golf.
If you?re a connoisseur of fine automobiles, you know that this Sunday?s Pebble Beach Concours d?Elegance, at the fabled golf course on Monterey?s 17 Mile Drive, represents the apogee of the old-car hobby in North America ? and perhaps the world.
If, that is, collecting and showing cars worth multiple millions of dollars can be considered a hobby.
For we mere mortals, the Concours is an opportunity to ogle some of history?s most beautiful and important cars, while rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous.
The tradition of the Concours dates back to the 17th century, when French aristocracy paraded their horse-drawn carriages in the parks of Paris on summer weekends and holidays.
Literally, concours d?elegance translates to ?competition of elegance.?
The tradition continued when carriages were replaced by cars, often accompanied by fashion shows to showcase the latest in Parisian couture. Many prestigious automakers chose Concours to introduce new models to their moneyed prospective clients during the early years of the auto industry,
Today, those cars of past eras are still the stars of various Concours held annually, of which Pebble Beach is one of the world?s most prominent. It began in 1950 as an adjunct to a regional road race for sports cars, but quickly grew to surpass the race event in stature.
Now, it has come almost full circle, serving also as the venue for the display and even introduction of new luxury and prestige vehicles. This year, more than 20 concepts and exotic cars will grace the ?concept lawn? ? otherwise designated as the practice putting green in front of The Lodge at Pebble Beach.
Those cars are the supporting players, however, as the main cast ? featuring everything from Brass-era pioneers and Grand Classics from the 1920s and ?30s to sports cars of the ?50s and ?60s ? is arrayed along the 18th fairway of the golf course, against the picturesque backdrop of California?s Pacific coastline.
Sunday?s main event is the climax of what has become a full week of automotive events, which include several collector-car auctions, several smaller, more-focused Concours, a classic-car rally and historic races.
Although Pebble Beach has earned an automatic spot on the bucket list of any true automobile aficionado, it?s far from the only event of its type. You can get your classic-car fix much closer to home if you can?t make it to the west coast every year.
One nearby opportunity comes on Sept. 14 at Kemble, Ont., just north of Owen Sound on the shores of Georgian Bay. The inaugural Cobble Beach Concours d?Elegance (cobblebeachconcours.com) will be the first in Canada to emulate major events held south of the border, such as the recent Concours of America at St John?s.
Held a couple weeks ago at the Inn at St. John?s in Plymouth, Mich., it is the successor to the Meadow Brook Concours d?Elegance, which ran for more than 30 years on the grounds of the Tudor revival mansion formerly owned by Matilda Dodge Wilson, widow of automotive pioneer John Dodge.
Meadow Brook was among the top two or three Concours on the continent and the St. John?s event is a worthy successor.
More than 250 vehicles were on display, vying for ribbons and trophies in 27 classes ? all of the vehicles treasures in their own right.
As well as the usual categories, defined by period, vehicle type and sometimes marque, others acknowledged the 50th anniversary of the first Corvette Sting Ray and Porsche 911. Another class featured electric cars, past, present and future, while yet another honoured ?Indianapolis Iron? ? Duesenberg, Marmon and Stutz, all of which were built in that city.
The most-valued awards at a Concours are always Best of Show, of which there were two at St. John?s ? one for domestics (American-built) and one for foreign-built cars.
Best of Show Foreign was a one-off 1934 Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Alloy Speedster, while the domestic award went to one of the Indianapolis clan: a 1931 Duesenberg Model J Tourster with body by Derham, similar to the model driven (anachronistically) by Jay Gatsby in this summer?s Great Gatsby movie.
If your appetite for the classics has been whetted, you don?t need to wait for Cobble Beach to sample the fare. Head out to Port Hope next Saturday, Aug. 24, where the Antique and Classic Car Club of Canada will host a Concours on a smaller scale. It will be worth the drive.

Director Vikram Bhatt is well-known for his horror
like Raaz and 1920. His next movie, Shaapit,
which is slated to release on the 19th of March, is another
flick starring singer Udit Narayan's son, Aditya Narayan, who is an idol
among adolescenets post his Zee hosting fame, and Shweta Agarwal.
His decision to use relative newcomers stems from the
that newcomers look more vulnerable, unlike the senior and established
lot. Apart from using newcomers to heighten the frailty of the
Vikram is also using the Witches' alphabet, Theban. Actor Rahul Dev's
makes use of Theban to hide messages from people who are not supposed to
The origins of the Theban alphabet are unclear to
researchers, but it is commonly used in Wicca to hide messages and also
to cast
spells. Theban is also known as the Angelic script, as some believe that
writing out a plea to an angel in Theban makes the plea more effective.
Whether or not Bollywood audiences will be chilled by a language that they are unfamiliar with, we believe that following the successes of Raaz and 1920, Shaapit will no doubt do well in the box offices too!

Competitive Cross Reference
Differential refers to the temperature range that is allowed. For example, a boiler set to 140 degrees with a 5 degree differential can have an actual temperature anywhere between 135 and 145.
Voltage, or volts, is a measurement of the difference between two electric fields (in heating terms, the difference between the Earth's electrical field and the electricity running through your wires).

Great Product-
By Mark the sailor
from Marlboro NY
Replaced a 25 year old Honeywell aquastat on a Weil McLain 68V. I powered the new Aquastat up and configured it before installation. I shut the boiler down at the high limit and the installation was done before it hit the low limit The new controller fired the boiler right back up when it hit the low limit and has been running perfectly since .
I would buy this product again
By Jim
from Maryland
This is the aquastat I was looking for. If you are not using your boiler for domestic hot water it allows the user to program the low set temperature to off. Great product.

Excellent Aquastat Control
By Roy
from Brewster, NY
This control is essentially "bulletproof" and far more accurate to set for precision temp. control.It also is expandable for Outdoor reset and hot water control.This control is full featured with multiple ways to set it for the installation at hand. A truly universal replacement control with Honeywell quality and reliability. Have never had an issue after installation upwards of 30 units now and counting.Honeywell has a winner here.
Electronic Aquastat Work Great.
By Don
from Valley View, PA
Electronic aquastat was easy to install and the default setting were close and easy to change.
Honeywell Aquastat
By Rockiee
from UpState, N.Y.
aquastat works perfect, but did not fix the small problem with my boiler, wrong guess on my part, nothing wrong with the aquastat though.but even more important was dealing with Pexsupply. As a new customer and a very suspicious one at that EVERYTHING they said about the order, process time, delivery time an complete handling of the order was right to a (T). I was really surprised an satisfied with the complete process. so to make a long story short, Pexsupply has me hooked. and I would STRONGLY recommend this company to do business with !!!

Exactly as Advertised
By Part Time Piper
from long Island, NY
This aquastat did exectly as it was supposed to as soon as I powered up the system. It is a one device unit that installed with a screwdriver, was easy to wire and is able to control one complete zone and the burner. It also wired easily to an existing 2nd zone relay made by another manufactured.
Good Price Works Well
By T Mason
from Grove City, PA
I purchased this aquastat about a month ago.Delivery was fast and the aquastat works well.In my case I have an older boiler and had to purchase a burner primary control box as well because the aquastat does not have terminals for the CAD cell. So if you are upgrading an older boiler keep that in mind.I'm very happy with this unit so far.
Excellent customer service
By Jay

By Gookdean

I believe that the authors' approach to the subject matter is practical and presented in a manner that makes the reader want to read the book from front to back.
Mary Darlene Hilsenbeck, University of Louisville
The readability is ideal for the undergraduate student. It contains enough theoretical, research-based information to be a strong text. It also contains practical information that students will want to retain this text as they become practitioners. The organization of the book is ideal. The included standards are ideal as students study for state certification exams. "Technology Today", "Rights & Responsibilities", and "Evidence-Based Practice" are gems of information.
Glenna Bilingsley, Texas State University — San Marcos
The application connection couldn't be any better than what your authors have put together for the reader and future teacher. I am very impressed with the wealth of information and suggestions your authors have provided for the reader that cover almost every aspect of learning disabilities. This book helps teachers use the tools they have to de3velop their students into productive members of society and prepare them for the future. The information just flowed and all came together outlining an effective inclusive program for students with disabilities and the best practices to prepare students for their future.
