Civil War Medicine…it's not what you think!
Come learn the facts at the Twenty-first Annual Conference on Civil War Medicine, Friday-Sunday, Oct. 4-6, 2013, at the DoubleTree By Hilton, Philadelphia-Valley Forge PA. The National Museum of Civil War Medicine has assembled an impressive panel of prominent historians, authors, and medical professionals speaking on a wide variety of topics relating to Civil War medicine.
Highlights of the conference include eleven unique lectures on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and a Saturday afternoon bus tour of the hospital and medical sites in Philadelphia. Friday is even more special, for the lectures and cocktail hour will be held at the Mutter Museum. Also included is a Saturday evening dinner. Back by popular demand is our Thursday evening pre-conference program.
Conference attire is casual. Period clothing is welcome at the Saturday dinner.
Conference registration will be held at the DoubleTree by Hilton. Registration will start on Thursday , October 3, 2013, in the evening, and will pick up again Friday, October 4, 2013, from 9am until 11am.
Here is the list of speakers and their topics for the coming conference.
Thursday, October 3, 8 p.m.
Pre-Conference Event
The Critical Importance of Volunteerism in Service to our Combat Wounded from the American Civil War to Present Day Conflicts
Gordon Donald
From the American Civil War through modern day conflicts, one thing has remained the same, the absolute necessity of volunteers to care for our Wounded Warriors. Our Armed Services cannot provide everything our heroes need. Politicians are of little value at best. Volunteerism is the only solution, and the spirit that truly makes America great.
Friday, October 4, 1-5 p.m.
The Confederate Artificial Limbs Program
Guy Hasegawa, Pharm.D.
This lecture will describe the details and operation of the program, how limb makers were selected, and how the devices were supplied to beneficiaries. This topic is a follow-up to Guy's lectures in 2010 (artificial limbs in general) and 2011 (the Union artificial-limbs program) and is covered in his recently-published book Mending Broken Soldiers: The Union and Confederate Programs to Supply Artificial Limbs. The topic is appropriate for this conference because artificial limbs, although common during the war, are not well understood today and because the process by which the Southern states provided limbs during the war has received almost no attention in written histories.
Cold Blooded Envenomation's of 1861-65
Mark Laubacher
Like today, snake bite envenomation was rare during the U.S. Civil War. Yet, such a medical emergency posed treatment challenges because of a knowledge deficit of the various toxicities and wound care depending on the creature. It is imperative that historians and students of Civil War medicine be familiar with the geographical location of these venomous reptiles, the signs and symptoms of a poisonous bite, and the treatment modalities used during the time. Additionally, the presentation will review some citations involving snake encounters and offer a rationale for the lack of additional encounters and bites.
S. Weir Mitchell: Chance Favors the Prepared Mind (and what a mind!)
Michael Martin Cohen, M.D.
The presentation on Mitchell will focus on the medical treatment and the valuable insights which he (and his collaborators) made as a result of the wounded Civil War soldiers who came under their care. The listener will briefly be taken back in time from today's ultra-technical practice of medicine through the twentieth century, to the practice of medicine at the time of the Civil War. Then the focus will be on the care and treatment of the wounded soldiers at Turner's Lane and thereafter by Mitchell, his colleagues, and eventually his son who provides an almost 30 year follow up of these soldiers.
Turner's Lane
Robert Hicks, Ph.D.
From their disparate backgrounds, physicians S. Weir Mitchell, William W. Keen, and George R. Morehouse assembled one of the most unusual and important temporary hospitals during the last year of the Civil War at Turner's Lane in Philadelphia. The long-term, rehabilitative care afforded to 160 soldiers at Turner's Lane, many of whom had been wounded at Gettysburg, provided an unparalleled opportunity to study diseases and wounds of the nerves, particularly peripheral nerve injuries. This presentation recounts the achievements of Turner's Lane's sole year of existence and previews an ambitious exhibit of "the real war" at The College of Physicians of Philadelphia, Broken Bodies, Suffering Spirits: Injury, Death, and Healing in Civil War Philadelphia.
Saturday, October 5, 8 a.m.- Noon
Horror, Killing, Thrill and Adrenaline Rush: The Psychological Kaleidoscope of Combat
Stephen Goldman, M.D., FAPM, DFAPA
Men have gone to war almost since the dawn of civilization. While the horrors of battle have been the subject of epic poems, classic novels, prize-winning histories and soldier's memoirs for centuries, along with increasingly graphic films and documentaries, other emotions and experiences associated with combat have been comparatively underemphasized, if addressed at all. But if those who work with veterans are to understand wars' full spectrum, the yin of exhilaration and joy felt by those who have been under fire and survived, versus the yang of combat's terror, destructiveness and revolting facets, must be examined.
Lincoln's First Responder, Dr. Charles Leale
Jon Willen, M.D.
Dr. Charles Augustus Leale was the first doctor to arrive at the presidential box at Ford's Theatre on April 14, 1865, after John Wilkes Booth fatally shot President Abraham Lincoln in the back of the head with a Philadelphia Derringer pistol. At the time, Dr. Leale was a 23-year-old surgeon in Charge of the Wounded Commissioned Officers ward in the United States Army General Hospital in Armory Square, Washington, DC. Just six weeks earlier, he had graduated from Bellevue Hospital Medical College in New York.
The Life and Times of a Civil War Hospital
Ira Spar, M.D.
An antiquated medical system designed for garrison army life was saddled with a level of scientific and medical knowledge inadequate for the deluge of returning soldiers. Starting virtually from scratch a health care system primarily funded and regulated by the federal government was created which in New Haven was centered in the state's hospital for the indigent. This talk will portray how health care was delivered for sick and wounded soldiers of Connecticut returning from the many battlefields of the Civil War.
80 Acres for 121 Days
Phil Lechak
Using period photographs, accounts from eyewitnesses, modern maps, and aerial photographs, we will examine the often over-looked and under-appreciated section of the Gettysburg landscape: Camp Letterman. Chosen because it was a location with plentiful clean water, on a hillside that provided good drainage, and a large grove of trees that provided both shade and movement of fresh air, it deserves our acknowledgement today.
Bus Tour, Saturday, 1-5 p.m.
Sunday, October 6, 8 a.m. – Noon
Dr. John Jay Terrell – Doctor to Man and Horse
Charles Driscoll, M.D.
Dr. Terrell was not only the man whose pioneering work in the Pest House of Lynchburg reduced the mortality of smallpox from 50% to 5%, but he also helped save one of the greatest "machines" of the war effort. In 1863 an epidemic of pulmonary flu was killing thousands of horses. Dr. Terrell's work and findings were able to bring this epidemic to an end. In this presentation, we will find out more about Dr. Terrell's life and work to save both men and horses.
Let Us Turn Our Faces to the Past – Christopher Hamilton Tebault and Confederate Medicine
Alan West
Christopher H. Tebault was a well-known Confederate surgeon, but there has been no biography written about him. While surgeons in both the North and South were trained in the same schools and with the same textbooks, the war left Confederate surgeons with limited supplies and in many circumstances the need to use inventiveness in treating the wounded and sick. Dr. Tebault's story will add significantly to our understanding of Confederate medicine during the Civil War.
A Close Up Look at the Philadelphia Army Laboratory
Patrick Vance
In 2013, the North-East corner of Sixth and Oxford Streets in Philadelphia is still an industrial address. During the Civil War that property was occupied by a neat three story brick manufacturing building leased by the Medical Department and emblazoned with "U.S. Army Laboratory" in dark four-foot letters over a white background. A photograph of that building has become iconic in studies of Civil War pharmacy. An in-depth exploration of the "rest of the story" behind the photograph of the Philadelphia Laboratory is a perfect fit for the conference this year.

Stunning container arrangements
This is the time of year when we find ourselves strolling nursery aisles, gawking at their beautiful pre-planted containers and deciding whether to buy them or create our own. Professionals put a lot of thought into their container ingredients, carefully considering simultaneous bloom times, mature sizes and aesthetic appeal. You should, too, if you decide to venture out on your own. Here are five of my favorite container recipes to look for this year, regardless of who's doing the planting (all are suitable for sunny sites). --JESSICA firstname.lastname@example.com

Royal Visit 1997
The Prince of Wales expressed a keen interest in the development of the Glamorgan Building to provide first class premises for teaching and research, when he visited the University in 1997.
He toured parts of the recently acquired building and met staff to discuss how it would be refurbished.
The former Mid Glamorgan County Hall had been purchased by the University earlier in the year, following local government reorganisation.
The building is now home to the School of Social Sciences.
During his 1997 visit, the Prince was briefed by Pro Vice-Chancellor Professor Hadyn Ellis on the University's outstanding performance in the Research Assessment Exercise.
He heard how the achievement of 12 Grade 5 ratings helped position the University 15th out of 102 UK universities in terms of research quality, and spoke to students and staff about several research projects.
Professor Janet Hemingway and one of the University's many industrial partners, Dr Julian Entwhistle of Zeneca Agrochemicals plc, describe to the Prince their research on environmentally friendly pest controls. Here Professor Hemingway shows the Prince a Madagascan hissing cockroach which she described as a "real sweetie." His Royal Highness was not convinced.
The Prince of Wales arrives at the Glamorgan Building, to be welcomed by the Vice-Chancellor, Sir Brian Smith.

Cold Steel Nodachi Sword 34" 1055 Carbon Steel Blade Ray Skin Handle Black
Product #: 462635 Cold Steel #: 88BN UPC #: 705442007036
Suggested Products
Product Information
The Japanese swords of the Emperor Series have proven, since their initial introduction almost five years ago, to be quite popular with many of our customers. Still, we are aware that there are some people who want a battle ready sword but hope to find one at a more affordable price. Our Warrior Series addresses this problem directly. In our efforts to reduce the costliness of the blades, we have omitted the expensive mirror polishing that we used on our Emperor Swords to create a new series of Japanese swords with a more practical finish. The Warrior Series swords are very handsome in their own right and share the same steel, heat treatment, and sharpness as their more expensive Emperor counterparts. Like the Emperor swords, they have Samé covered, cord wrapped handles and quality fittings. If you're in the market for a strong, good looking, reasonably priced Japanese sword we know you'll be happy to own one of these. All come complete with a BLACK LACQUERED SCABBARD and a BLUE/VIOLET COVER BAG.

Is the concept of even/odd numbers is applicable to decimal numbers? For e.g. - 4.222 is a even number?
I am not saying that this is a way to consider "even" and "odd" numbers, but I think it's quite cool that it looks somehow as a generalization of this notion.
It doesn't make sense to look at the digits of an irrational number to determine its "parity", hence let's just stick with rational numbers, which we know have a finite decimal expansion.
When we were looking at integers, we said that an integer was even when it was divisible by $2$ and odd when it is not. Instead of using words, we could give much better information, which is to define a map $$ \begin{align} \nu_2 : \mathbb N & \to \mathbb N \cup \{ 0 \} \\ n=2^k m & \mapsto k \end{align} $$ where in the latter, $m$ is odd. The map $\nu$ then measures how even the integer $n$ is, in the sense that when there are more powers of 2 that divide $n$, it is considered "more divisible by two".
This concept can be generalized to the rational numbers : write $x = a/b$ with $a$ and $b \neq 0$ integers. Write $a = 2^{k_1} a'$ and $b=2^{k_2} b'$, so that $x = 2^{k_1 - k_2} (a'/b')$ and now both $a'$ and $b'$ are odd. Now define $\nu$ again in a similar manner : $$ \begin{align} \nu_2 : \mathbb Q & \to \mathbb Z \\ x = \frac{2^{k_1}a'}{2^{k_2}b'} & \mapsto k_1 - k_2. \end{align} $$ When $x$ is an integer, we recover the map we had before, so this can be considered as an extension of this map to the rational numbers.
I don't know if you have done some abstract algebra, but I am going to work things out a little more so that readers that might be interested find good information here.
If we replace $\nu_2$ by $\nu_p$, where $p$ is a prime number, all that we did works just fine and we get a map from $\mathbb Q$ to $\mathbb Z$ which indicates how much can a rational be divisible by $p$ (by allowing "negative divisibility" in some sense, because it also measures how many times $p$ divides the denominator, also). We are getting close to the concept of a discrete valuation, which is defined as the following : given a field $K$, a discrete valuation $\nu$ is a function from $K^{\times}$, the group of units, to $\mathbb Z$, which satisfies the following properties : $$ \begin{align} \nu(ab) & = \nu(a) + \nu(b) \\ \nu(a+b) & \ge \min \{ \nu(a),\nu(b) \} \end{align} $$ and must also be surjective. This function has many interesting algebraic properties. Recalling informations we had before such as "the set of all even integers form a ring", and just by considering this map and its properties, we can show that $$ \{ x \in K^{\times} \, | \, \nu(x) \ge 0 \} \cup \{ 0 \} $$ is a subring of $K$ which contains the identity of $K$. For some examples of how this is relevant, consider this : if we take the map $\nu_2$ we had before (over $\mathbb Q$), proving this fact means that the set of all rational numbers with odd denominator form a subring of $\mathbb Q$ (and so does the set of all rational numbers with denominators coprime to $p$). Valuations are extensively studied, and you can probably look it up on Wikipedia or ask for a reference if you are more interested in this.
Hope that helps!
Suppose we would like to define odd/even real numbers in some similar way as for integers. What could we do?
No, any ring where $2$ has an inverse $\rm\:u\:$ cannot sense parity since $\rm\:2\:u = 1\ \Rightarrow\ 1$ is even hence $\rm\ x = 1\cdot x\ $ yields that every element $\rm\:x\:$ is even. However, there are many rings which do have a notion of parity compatible with integer parity. For example, the subring of rationals with odd denominator have parity obtained by defining the parity of $\rm\:m/(2n+1)\:$ to be the parity of $\rm\:m\:.\:$ Further many rings of algebraic integers have a natural notion of parity, e.g. the Gaussian integers $\rm\:m + n\ {\it i},\ m,n \in \mathbb Z\ $ have parity by defining $\:i\:$ to be odd. For further discussion see my post here, and this post where parity in $\rm\:\mathbb Z[\sqrt{5}]\:$ implies that the integer $\rm\:(9+4\sqrt{5})^n + (9-4\sqrt{5})^n\:$ is even.

Might be time for a pro. This is work which require a "touch". But trying to feather out the dings is not probably a good approach.
One technique is to use a wet towel and a hot iron. The wet and steam can swell the wood a bit, which then is left to settle for a day or too, before final sanding.
I am not a pro on that technique, so I would do some more googling to fill in the details.

Everything you need to freshen up your Flexx bars.Read All Reviews
Geoff in WA
These are the best bar period. I got these with the Acerbis Uniko ATV Handguards. These work well with this bar. Second bar I have bought and will buy again. Shipping was fast and free Would like to note that these bars are not cheep to get going. You need to add the1 1/8 big bar adaptor if you don't already have it. If you have hand guards you will need to get the smallest shims possible to get them to fit in the bar. Also the brake hose on the lever needs to be moved so they clear the bar when compressed. Hope this helps others worth the money but will end up costing about 80 to 100 more for partsRead All Reviews

Art Slam
Sunday, February 3, 2013
3:00 pm
"Art Slam" is a light-hearted look at the behind-the-scenes work that went into preparing the first comprehensive documentation of all 374 works in its European paintings collection. The free, hour-long program mixes facts and fun as participants discover what it took to create this comprehensive look at one of the most significant holdings of the Clark's collection.
Sarah Lees, the Clark's associate curator of European art who spearheaded the ambitious project, will be joined by several of the contributors to the catalogue as they reveal some of the interesting insights and new discoveries that were made during preparation of the two-volume publication. The program includes conversations, games and quizzes, and plenty of opportunities for audience participation. Prizes will be offered during several portions of the event, and light refreshments will be served.
Published on the 100th anniversary of Sterling Clark's first purchase of a European painting, Nineteenth-Century European Paintings at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute is the result of more than twelve years of research and writing. The 1,008-page work is handsomely presented in a slipcase that contains the two-volume book set. While it normally retails at $350, Nineteenth-Century European Paintings at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute will be offered to Art Slam attendees at a discounted one-day-only rate of $250 ($225 for Clark members).

Peter Benchleynovelist
Born: 5/8/1940
Birthplace: New York City
The son of novelist Nathaniel Goddard Benchley and the grandson of humorist Robert Benchley, Peter Benchley knew early in life that he wanted to write, but finding the appropriate forum for his writing took him a bit longer. He worked as a reporter for the Washington Post, as television critic for Newsweek, and as a speechwriter for President Johnson during the last two years of his administration. Benchley's first novel Jaws (1974), spent more than forty weeks on the New York Times best-sellers list, earning him praise as the most successful first novelist in history, and was the source for the popular 1975 film, directed by the young Steven Spielberg. Among Benchley's other novels are The Deep (1976), Beast (1991), and White Shark (1994).Died: Princeton, N.J., 2/12/2006

He's challenging Jimmie Johnson for the season championship.
Hamlin sits within six points coming into today's Amp Energy Juice 500 at Talladega Superspeedway, the 2.66-mile-wide Yahtzee cup for NASCAR's dice.
Johnson, who has won the past four Sprint Cup titles, could crash. It happens a lot around here.
Or Hamlin could finish just enough ahead to take the lead with three races to go in the Chase for the Championship. He won a week ago at Martinsville, finishing just four spots ahead of Johnson, and it was enough to trim 35 points off Johnson's lead.
So yes, Johnson has real competition, and can't you just feel the greater air flow coursing through NASCAR's proverbial carburetor?
Indeed, NASCAR has to be breathing relief.
The sport's top heads and some from ESPN huddled two weeks ago to brainstorm about plummeting ratings and attendance.
A cascade of TV biz logic flowed forth.
They talked about the move from ABC to ESPN, which has fewer viewers.
They poured over the decision to move most races to 1 p.m. ET on Sundays, a move that brings consistency but puts NASCAR head-to-head with the NFL.
They bandied about different promotion ideas.
Marketing folks love to think they can talk anybody into anything.
All of that stuff no doubt impacts NASCAR's handling around the market place, but this wasn't the crowd to discuss the real issue publicly.
No NASCAR or ESPN exec wants to say that Johnson's dominance and dullness suck sizzle from the sport, and they don't want to come off as rooting against a driver.
Let alone one of the top drivers for the top team, Hendrick Motorsports.
But the hard truth is that today's NASCAR fans love dynasties only when they come with the name Earnhardt.
If one driver is to dominate, fans want guys not named Kyle Busch who beat and bang their way to the front.
Fans don't want smooth racing technicians with the best equipment money can buy and no-drama personalities.
Johnson with beard looks more like the toast of beer-can fans, but he still drives and sounds like the perfect android produced by today's corporate NASCAR machine.
He's still the ultimate system driver milking the Chase, a NASCAR sort-of-playoff that seems built for him.
So he needs real competition.
NASCAR and its fans need for him to have real competition, and Hamlin is bringing it.
Not that Hamlin comes off as much different from Johnson.
Hamlin brings none of the scruff-and-tumble stuff that appeals to the Earnhardt crowd, but he brings competition.
Real competition for the championship comes just when NASCAR needs something besides a "have-at-it" slogan and believable rivalries to signal a return to hey days.
A six-point lead coming into Talladega? Now, that's fresh air.

End 1st qtr: Raiders 3, Chiefs 0
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Sunday, October 28th, 2012 at 1:42 pm in Oakland Raiders.
The Raiders will open the second quarter with a second-and-10 at the 17-yard line and a chance to open up a 10-point lead.
An interception and 21-yard return by Matt Giordano off of Brady Quinn set the Raiders up at the 45-yard line, and a third-down illegal contact penalty on Stanford Routt against Darrius Heyward-Bey put Oakland at the 37. Carson Palmer found Denarius Moore for 18 yards to the 17.
A 58-yard inside screen from Palmer to Moore set up a 36-yard Sebastian Janikowski field goal. Routt intercepted Palmer's first pass.

On Trans-Saharan Trails: Islamic Law, Trade Networks, and Cross-Cultural Exchange in Nineteenth-Century Western Africa
Author: Ghislaine Lydon (Assistant Professor of History, UCLA)
Published: Friday, January 23, 2009
This study is the first of its kind to examine the history and organization of trans-Saharan trade in western Africa using original source material. It documents the internal dynamics of a trade network system based on a case-study of the Wad Nun traders, who specialized in outfitting camel caravans in the nineteenth century. Through an examination of contracts, correspondence, fatwas, and interviews with retired caravaners, Lydon shows how traders used their literacy skills in Arabic and how they had recourse to experts of Islamic law to regulate their long-distance transactions. The book also examines the methods employed by women participating in caravan trade. By embracing a continental approach, this study bridges the divide between West African and North African studies. The work will be of interest to historians of African, Middle Eastern, and world history and to scholars of long-distance trade, Muslim societies, and Islamic law.
• Describes the internal dynamics of a trans-Saharan trade network based on original legal/commercial records from Saharan private family collections • Makes a strong argument for the consideration of functional literacy and Islamic legal institutions as critical to efficient long-distance trade • Contributes to a better understanding of the role of women in long-distance trade

When officials at Playworld Systems Inc., decided to hold the company's annual sales meeting in New Orleans, they wanted to do more than give the hurricane-ravaged city an economic boost. They wanted to give back with their hands and hearts, too. So they decided to build a playground, a gesture that has touched off projects by other groups meeting in the Crescent City.
On January 19, 2007 — in the middle of Playworld's meeting at the Ritz-Carlton New Orleans — all 250 attendees will break into teams to do landscaping, pour cement, and assemble playground equipment, explains Kristi Teats, sales assistant at the Lewisburg, Pa. — based playground equipment manufacturer. KaBOOM!, a Washington, D.C. — based nonprofit focused on building playgrounds, will partner with Playworld by providing construction resources.
Inspired by the gesture, the Ritz-Carlton, which is reopening December 1 after being closed for more than a year, is facilitating the process of getting groups involved in community service. It has developed a list of organizations that groups can contact to donate their time, and several clients — including Texas Roadhouse Restaurants and Coca-Cola — have agreed to participate. Other Marriott-owned properties in the city are also facilitating community projects.

Mancini v Mourinho takes top billing
- 18 September 2012 07:59
- Posted by Mark Booth
No disrespect to the Spireites, but 14 years ago this week, City were facing Chesterfield in the third tier of the league.
Unless you've been living under a rock for the past month, you'll know that the Blues take on Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu in the Champions League tonight and you don't need to be a Hollywood screenwriter to locate the storylines.
Let's start with the men in the dug-outs.
Mourinho v Mancini could be the football manager equivalent of Ali v Frasier, so it's fitting that ZonalMarking.net's Michael Cox has previewed this tactical showdown with aplomb in today's Guardian.
"When José Mourinho replaced Roberto Mancini at Internazionale in 2008, the tension between them was acknowledged without being explicit," writes Cox.
"They weren't jilted lovers, rather rivals in a complex love triangle – with Inter at the centre."
...Michael Cox on Mancini v Mourinho..
"They've had some interesting battles: in their Uefa Cup meeting 10 seasons ago when Mourinho's Porto beat Lazio 4-1 on aggregate.
"'They played a 4-5-1 in the first game, then switched to three at the back for the return leg!' raved the Portuguese.
"'They [Italians] think of football in relation to the opponent, and change the way they play accordingly.' It takes one to know one."
In the Blue corner, Roberto has compared his City team to a Ferrari in a bullish press conference ahead of the game.
"If you drive a Ferrari you can win. We used to drive a Fiat Cinquecento and then it's not so easy; now we are driving a Ferrari."
...Roberto Mancini...
Call it a premonition, a compliment, or perhaps just some of his legendary mind games, but in the white corner, Jose has proclaimed that City are destined to be Champions League winners sooner or later, as reported in the Manchester Evening News.
"Roberto (Mancini) came and he has done a very good job. He has created a great squad, the first cup then the first title arrived," said 'the Special One'.
"I don't know if it is this season or next season with Roberto, or with another person in the future, but normally in the direction the club is going, sooner or later they will win the big cup."
Another one of tonight's storylines is that time-honoured tale of "the one that got away" – in this case, David Silva, the player rejected from Real Madrid's academy at 11-years old for being "too small".
Silva quashed any notion of him switching Manchester from Madrid by signing a new five-year contract at City yesterday, news brought to you first by mcfc.co.uk.
In yesterday's column, we told you that Ian Ladyman of the Daily Mail predicted that David would sign on the dotted line before long and now that he has, Ladyman calls it a "signal of intent" for the club.
"Silva's contract will theoretically tie the 26-year-old to City until beyond his 31st birthday. They could well be the best years of his career. City, at the very least, can now rest assured that if he does look elsewhere in the future then he will be sold only on their terms."
Javi Garcia's return to Real Madrid is yet another tantalising storyline ahead of tonight's game. The 25-year old midfielder graduated from the club's academy in the Spanish capital but couldn't nail down a regular starting berth before leaving for Benfica in 2009.
After getting off the mark for City on an impressive debut at Stoke, Garcia will be putting sentiment aside when he returns to his former home.
"It will be a special game and nice because I have friends at Real Madrid and I hope to have the opportunity to say hello to everyone," Spanish paper AS reports.
"I will give everything to win the three points."
You can follow the action with our match day centre on mcfc.co.uk, get live updates on the move courtesy of our Twitter account and get all the post match reaction after the game.
Oh, and In the interest of good housekeeping, City drew 1-1 with Chesterfield back in 1998.
