As we continue our look at the Silkmen stars of yesteryear, we feature a popular goalkeeper who made the number one shirt his own during the early 1990s
Born in Manchester in 1965, Steve started his career with Knowsley United but quickly gained the attention of the scouts at Chester City, who were in the Football League at the time. After signing for our Cheshire neighbours, Steve found First Team outings hard to come by and he subsequently headed back to Knowsley before joining Southport.
Steve wasn't at Haig Avenue long before he caught Peter Wragg's eye and the Macclesfield Town manager had no hesitation in bringing him over to the Moss Rose in early 1991, for the start of what proved to be a memorable five years with The Silkmen.
Steve made his Silkmen debut in a Cheshire Senior Cup Quarter Final tie at Warrington Town on 12th February 1991. A hard fought victory ensued on a freezing cold night, with Steve keeping his first clean sheet of many in a 1-0 win for Wraggy's Silkmen - setting up a double legged semi-final against old foes Altrincham.
Pretty much an ever-present in the team for the next five years, Steve soon became our first choice 'keeper and gained a formidable reputation as a commanding and agile stopper.
Perhaps his most memorable appearance came 2 seasons later in a FA Cup First Round replay against Chesterfield on 25 November 1992. Following a scoreless draw against The Spireites at the Moss, Wragg's Silkmen made the short trip over to Derbyshire for the replay. Full time ended level at two goals a piece and so the fixture was to be decided by the dreaded penalty shoot-out in front of the travelling Macc fans. .
Anyone reading this who was there in 1992 will have what happened next planted firmly in their memory bank!
Steve made three incredible saves in a row to hand the victory to non-league Macclesfield and with it, progression to face local rivals Stockport County in the next round. The result is etched in the history books as the Silkmen became the first non-league side to beat a Football League side on penalties.
Steve made a total of 169 league and 76 cup appearances in goal for the Silkmen after taking the mantle from Alan Zelem. He also has one goal to his name from all those matches and it is a strike that many Macc fans remember fondly twenty-six years on.
The Silkmen were away at Merthyr Tydfil in the GM Vauxhall Conference on 18th December 1993. Stood in his own six yard box, Steve thumped the ball down the pitch. It sailed right over both teams and landed in the back of the net - stunning the 400 or so fans in attendance. The strikers playing on the day perhaps weren't as impressed - commenting that it was a long way to run back to congratulate him!
Unfortunately Farrelly's goal wasn't enough to overturn the two scored by Merthyr, but it certainly gave the Macc fans something to talk about on their drive home across the Welsh border!
Steve helped the Silkmen to two Cheshire Senior Cup titles in 1991 and 1992, with other honours including Conference League Cup and Staffordshire Senior Cup medals in 1994 as well as being a member of the 1995 Conference title-winning side.
In the summer of 1995 Steve made the move to Rotherham who were in League One at the time. Commanding a handsome fee of £40,000, Steve stayed with the Millers for eighteen months but struggled to hold a regular place and moved to Barrow on a free in January 1997. A year with Scunthorpe followed on non contract terms before Steve made his way south to join Kingstonian.
Staying at King George's Field for two and a half years, Steve was their first choice 'keeper until late 2000 when a life-saving operation sidelined him. Initially complaining of some discomfort before an FA Cup game in the November, he had an operation to remove a spinal abscess at the base of his neck.
Leaving Kingstonian in August 2001, Steve spent a year with Farnborough before joining Woking the following summer. Steve only made a handful of appearances for The Cards - one of which was a substitute for another 'keeper who has worn the gloves for Macc in more recent years, Shwan Jalal.
Retiring from football in his late thirties, Steve now lives in the Milton Keynes area and is a Process and Resource Manager. Often cited in fan's all-time favourite squads, Steve made a lasting impression on many a Macc fan with his stunning saves and that one wonder goal on a cold December night in mid Wales.

The work of Tunisian American artist, Alia Bensliman, is wide ranging. It integrates and contrasts the Eastern symbolism and experiences of her native North Africa with the peculiarly American and Western impressions of her married life in New Jersey. But it also follows the emotional journeys of a woman exploring the meanings behind her experiences.
Of her upcoming show, "Mind Stroll" at the Artworks Community Gallery from Nov. 3-24, she says, "When you go to that show, you really go through my brain and see all the many and different thoughts I have, and it is a sort of roller coaster of thoughts. It's going to be interesting even for me when I go there and see all my pieces hanging in the same space—it is beautiful and also challenging."
Bensliman has always loved to tell stories, and because she is dyslexic, the storytelling always happened through art. "It was difficult for me to write or read," and "my art was sort of therapy, so I didn't feel really different from people who could write."
Bensliman traces her artistic talent to her grandmothers, both artists. As a youngster, she took lots of art classes, but the artistic technique she still uses today started to develop as a teen while she talked on the phone with friends. "I was doing many lines and felt like I was putting my feelings in those lines," she says. "The drawing was detailed, with textures, lines, and dots—not light and shade—and many, many colors, with pens, pencils, and markers."
And even today, Bensliman says, "If you come to my studio, I have hundreds of different types of pens—I always call myself a pen-aholic.
Usually Bensliman starts a painting with a subject in mind that she develops organically through intricate symbolism and arabesque lines that weave tales. "Then I start developing the idea and the symbols, and add color and texture," using pens with different thicknesses and different types of ink and more recently, watercolors. She likens her process to that of a writer, starting with a subject, then adding description and plot.
But when she doesn't exactly know what to do, she says, "I just start putting shapes on paper, and from those shapes I would develop the story of the drawing. It depends on the days if I want to do something specific or just let my mood guide me."
The newest larger painting that will appear in the upcoming show is titled "Chess of Life." "I'm trying to analyze my thoughts in my drawing—it talks about how you go through the death." She explores the idea of being judged at death and whether a person ends up ultimately in paradise or in hell.
"It is a way for me to be jealous of the 100-percent believer," she says, noting that "death is easier for them." Asserting that her attitude toward religion is respectful, and she considers herself a believer, she adds, "sometimes I question a lot of things."
To explore her questions, the process of drawing becomes for her one of psychoanalysis, "when you analyze your thinking." She describes the attitude of the painting as "a sarcasm to myself, not to other people."
Much of her work uses arabesque lines that Bensliman calls "Arabic geometry" or "Muslim geometry." Fascinated by such lines, found in some churches and mosques in Mediterranean countries, she started painting them more when she moved to the United States after her marriage "because of a sort of nostalgia that I feel." She misses the "beautiful architectures of the old mosques we have in Tunisia" and "the smell in Tunisia" and colors that vary by region.
In a painting titled "Nostalgia," Bensliman introduced the colors of Tunis, "green, red, and white, with an accent of gold and silver," in the traditional wedding clothes of a Tunisian bride. She has Arabic letters and Berber symbols in her hair, the latter drawing from a Berber custom where a groom "used to take the best tattoo artist to his bride's family" and instead of exchanging jewelry or wedding rings, the bride would get a tattoo. "Nostalgia" also derives from the West, as it uses golden "bubblies" to highlight the vibrant blue background surrounding the bride.
Nostalgic for Tunisia and a big fan of Berber traditions, Bensliman got a wrist tattoo with Berber symbols after she moved to the United States. On this tattoo a palm leaf signifies union between male and female; a moon and stars, a mother who has children; and flies, a protective symbol to "take off the evil eye."
The Artworks show will include about 25 pieces, some large, some small. These reflect not only her thoughts about the present but her many and varying life experiences.
Bensliman's mother is recently retired from a career as a speech therapist and professor of speech therapy at a university in Tunis. Her father continues his work in dental surgery, but is working about halftime.
"I belonged to a very interesting family artistically and politically," Bensliman says. Her maternal grandmother, Asma Rebai, fought for women's rights in Tunisia, and her grandfather, Azouz Rebai, served as Tunisia's Secretary of Youth and Culture when Tunisia gained its independence from France. Asma was an artist, but had never showed it to her family until her husband died, when Bensliman was young. Despite Asma's own reticence and shyness about her art, she had different ideas for her granddaughter. "She was showing me a lot of her creations when I was young and really encouraging me to be outside and show my own art," Bensliman says.
Having drawn and painted throughout her school years, Bensliman decided to go to a fine arts school after she graduated from high school, where she earned a degree in product design and modeling. "I decided on product design because I didn't see myself behind a desk. I love creating and doing sculptures—I'm a very active person," she says. Her first job was with architects, where she drew miniature views of the insides of houses and buildings to help clients envision what the completed construction would look like.
Bensliman met her Khaled, an environmental engineer at Sadat Associates in Trenton, at his cousin's wedding. He and his family had moved to Bethesda, Maryland, when he was 11, but she knew all his cousins in Tunisia. They started dating during his visit that summer 10 years ago, and they married a little over a year later when Bensliman was 25. They have two children, a son who will be 6 in February and is in kindergarten at Sharon Elementary School. Her daughter was born in September.
After marriage, she and her husband moved to New Jersey, first to an apartment in Plainsboro and then to Robbinsville. While Bensliman was adjusting to her new country, culture, and language (although her English was fluent when she arrived), she put aside art for a couple of years. But when she was pregnant with her son, her creative urges came to fore, and instead of pursuing her design career, she decided to focus more on painting and the jewelry design she does using recycled magazine paper to create paper beads with different shapes.
Right after she delivered her son, she started working on "Motherhood"—her favorite piece so far. "It talks about how beautiful it is becoming a mother, especially the first experience, with the first child. At the same time I had a lot of questioning: it's not like adopting a pet. I was afraid a lot: of having a child, of how am I going to raise him; am I going to be a good parent or not? At the same time, it was a blessing: having a small human being inside my belly."
The symbols in the painting combine flowers, watching eyes, a heart, and warm and cooler colors that represent "the joy and the excitement of being a mother and at the same time the fear," she says, adding that some of that fear grows out of having her family so far away. The eyes have a twofold meaning for Bensliman: on the one hand, they represent protection from the evil eye, and on the other, people who send a judgmental look toward a mother with a crying baby.
This painting also captures Bensliman's continuous questioning, which reveals something of a philosophical bent. As a new mother, she asked herself, "Am I going to be perfect or not?" But at the same time realized that "perfection doesn't exist." Because she wanted her child to be raised in a "perfect situation," she says, she and her husband decided to move to Robbinsville, because "the school system is great, and we wanted our child to have a great education."
A clearly political painting titled "Grab' Em by the D" builds both on Bensliman's background in Tunis and her experience of U.S. politics today.
In Tunisia, she says, wearing a hijab was an option, not a requirement. "We are more open minded and less strict than other countries," she says. Also in Tunisia, she adds, "women and men get paid the same amount of money."
Yes despite her self-description as a "women's rights fighter," Bensliman is not comfortable using the word "feminist." She explains, "It's something obvious. We shouldn't have to fight for rights. We should have them already. It should be normal. We should have equal rights."
But looking around her, she sees women with fewer rights than in Tunisia. "I still feel in the U.S. we are trying to find a way so women both get paid equally and treated equally, and I do express that in my art," she says.
In this painting Bensliman draws about "a woman that is fighting" for her rights. "The woman who is the focus of the painting has different skin tones, representing women of all ethnicities," she says. She is flashing a middle finger that ends in a pen. "What I mean is we should fight ignorance by being more cultivated—if you learn about information, let's say you learn it through Facebook, you need to check if it's right by reading books, going to libraries, having more accurate information, having the right information," Bensliman says.
Although the painting does include, at the woman's foot, the letter D with hair that "looks like Trump hair," Bensliman says, she emphasizes that her target is the treatment of women, standing against denigrating statements like "Grab them by the pussy"—but "not to criticize whether you belong in the Republican or Democratic Party."
On the painting, instead of "The New World Order," a phrase represented on the U.S. $1 bill by the Latin "Novus ordo seclorum," the woman has a book with the words "The Best World Order." Also, tattooed on her arm are the words "Keep America Great," instead of "Let's Make America Great."
Bensliman sells her artwork in shows and galleries. Along with four artist friends she rents a gallery in Lambertville, Visual Stream Gallery Collective. They show their own art there, curate art shows, and are developing an art education program. "What is great about our art is that it is extremely different, so it makes a good flow in the gallery, having different styles of art and sculpture," she says.
Addison Vincent, exhibits coordinator at Artworks Trenton, writes in a statement about Bensliman's upcoming exhibition that she "uses exquisitely fine lines, shapes, and repetitive patterns, coupled with a myriad of color washes to create and accentuate her art." Noting that her stylized lines reflect her Tunisian roots, he writes that more broadly "her art is a reflection of her personal life experiences, thoughts, and dreams, as well as a social commentary, translating the everyday world we live in, into beautiful abstract, geometric, and illustrative compositions."
Mind Stroll, Artworks Trenton, 19 Everett Alley. On view Saturday, November 3, through Saturday, November 24. Opening reception November 3, 6 to 8 p.m. 609-394-9436 or www.artworkstrenton.org.

Director of Easy Virtue and Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, Stephan Elliott delves into bromance territory with romcom A Few Best Men. David (Xavier Samuel) and Mia (Laura Brent) met on a deserted beach in Tuvalu, and after a whirlwind romance they returned home to their respective families in Australia and England with the news that they're getting married. Everyone's a little bit shocked to say the least, but the film concerns itself with the clash of cultures as David and his British mates travel to Australia to stay with Mia's über-rich family.
The film plays gleefully with Australian stereotypes, and is just as cheeky in the earlier scenes set in London, a place the actors clearly never visited during the shoot. There's nothing refined about the humour here. The film aims to please the broadest possible audience so there's nothing that hasn't been seen before. The problem is that there are just as many jokes that fall flat as ones that amuse.
The main flaw of A Few Best Men is that we never get to spend any time with the couple we're supposed to be rooting for. We don't get to see Mia and David's romance blossom because, before you know it, we've reached the wedding and everything's going wrong for the poor couple. We needed to have a good reason as to why these two people who barely knew each other should get hitched, aside from the fact that they're both really good looking.
Whilst the script and some of the characterisations leave a lot to be desired, the direction and performance really works. Samuel does a pretty decent English accent, and it's good to see him actually emote, something he wasn't really able to do in The Loved Ones (where he was gagged and tortured), Road Train (possessed and bloody) or The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (a murderous vampire). At the very least it's clear that Samuel has a big career ahead of him. Laura Brent does a great job as Mia but has very little to work with.
As with most comedies, the best roles are the supporting ones, and in this case it's Kris Marshall who steals the show as one of the titular Best Men, Tom. Despite the fact that he's clearly too old for the role, his characterisation of a laidback yet witty stoner is the best part of the film. Rebel Wilson, whom some people might remember as the only good thing about the first Ghost Rider movie, gets to shine also, though disappointingly doesn't get enough screen time.
A Few Best Men simply doesn't set its sights very high. The forays into gross-out humour feel too familiar and the deliberate cultural cringe factor is too much. If more time had been spent on the romance whilst sacrificing some of the lame humour, the film could have been great.Rating:

Les Liaisons Dangereuses by Christopher Hampton
Saturday, June 4 at 1pm
Wednesday, June 8 at 2pm
Wednesday, June 8 at 7pm
Directed by Josie Rourke (Coriolanus), the cast includes Elaine Cassidy (The Paradise), Janet McTeer (The White Queen) and Dominic West (The Wire). In 1782, Choderlos de Laclos' novel of sex, intrigue and betrayal in pre-revolutionary France scandalized the world. Two hundred years later, Christopher Hampton's irresistible adaptation swept the board, winning the Olivier and Evening Standard Awards for Best Play.
Former lovers, the Marquise de Merteuil and Vicomte de Valmont now compete in games of seduction and revenge. Merteuil incites Valmont to corrupt the innocent Cecile de Volanges before her wedding night but Valmont has targeted the peerlessly virtuous and beautiful Madame de Tourvel. While these merciless aristocrats toy with others' hearts and reputations, their own may prove more fragile than they supposed.

"We're doing this in honor of our veterans, our first responders, police department, firemen, you name it," said Alicia Peterson, who leads the Northern California MAGA March, which stands for President Trump's signature campaign slogan, Make American Great Again. "This is a nationwide event, all states at the same place at the same time."
Participants adapted to a shorter march to Sutter's Fort after Peterson said their permit to go to the state capitol was revoked possibly over concerns of clashing with anti-Trump protesters.
"It would have been nice to go to the capitol, but also we don't want to break any laws, you know we want to keep it peaceful," said Jeff Woodbridge, a Trump supporter who traveled from Modesto.
And a large number of police and private security were there to make sure things remained peaceful.
Although one or two Sacramentans expressed their dislike of the rally, the neighbors at McKinley Park told FOX40 that, besides the political message, they didn't have any issues with this rally.
"Not that I agree with what they had to say, but they've peacefully assembled, at least here," said one neighbor.
"I almost wore my Bernie Sanders shirt but I'm glad I didn't...and I like that it's a peaceful protest, so that's good," said Selena Kuikahi, who was walking through McKinley Park Saturday.
When it comes to the 45th president, those who march say they just want one thing from Californians.
"Just let the guy do his job, come on, give him a chance," said Travis Hughes, a Trump supporter who traveled from Modesto for Saturday's march.
Peterson said she and other organizers did take a collection during their rally for homeless veterans. Sacramento police estimated the size of the crowd was more than 250 people, but could not provided FOX40 with an exact number.

Interrupts, I/O
Registers, and the Butterfly Joystick
In Part 6, we used the Butterfly joystick with library functions
to implement a menu navigation system but didn't go into any
details of how the joystick worked. This month, we will use the
joystick as an introduction to AVR interrupts and I/O registers.
The Butterfly Joystick Hardware
The original joystick was an early aircraft control lever
that allowed the pilot to maneuver the plane left, right,
up, and down. Fighter planes added a center button to fire
machine guns. The Butterfly joystick — like many menu
navigation devices found on remote controls and cell phones
— has five positions: UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, and PUSH
(see Figure 1). Manufacturers, of course can't know which
direction the user will orient their device, so they label them
A, B, C, D, and Center (for PUSH) as in Figure 2, which
correspond to pins numbered as in Figure 3
The Butterfly orients these pins and connects them to
five of the ATmega169 port pins as in Figure 4.
Now that we've got the joystick all wired up, how does
the Butterfly know when a joystick event occurs?
Interrupts In General
In microcontrollers, we typically use either polling or
interrupts to check to see if an event has occurred. Polling
checks periodically to see if an event has happened. For
instance, in the loop in main() we might check pin 6 to see if
the voltage is + 3 or 0 and, depending on the state, do one
thing or another. If the microcontroller hardware is designed
so that pin 6 can be used to interrupt the program, then we
don't have to poll the pin. We can set the software so that
when the pin state changes — say, falling from +3V to 0V —
an interrupt function will be called automatically.
Interrupts on microcontrollers are like interrupts in daily
life. The telephone interrupts your activities by its insistent
ringing. Imagine how it would be if you had to poll the
telephone to receive calls. Periodically, you'd pick up the
receiver and say 'Hello, anybody out there?' and your caller
would shriek, 'I've been waiting for an hour! Why don't you
check your phone every five minutes like a normal person?'
The ring of the phone interrupting workflow is annoying, but
if someone wants to tell you that your garage is on fire, you
want to know about it immediately.
Microcontrollers respond to interrupts much like you would.
Maybe you are reading a book and the phone rings. You use your
fingernail to mark the line you were reading and dog-ear the
page before closing the book (librarians everywhere groan). Then,
you answer the phone, and when the call is finished and you've
put out the fire in your garage, you can refer to the desecrations to your book and go right back to where you left off.
From the hardware perspective, an interrupt causes the
microcontroller to stop what it is doing, store sufficient data
so that later it can get back to what it was doing, look to see
which interrupt happened, run the interrupt code, and when
finished, restore the machine to its state before the interrupt
occurred using the previously stored data.

Interrupts are great, but they provide an avenue for

Declared the Ideal Management College in 2015 by Punjab Technical University amongst hundreds of colleges affiliated to it. Educators who have demonstrated a commitment to inspiring students' interest in science, technologies, engineering and math (STEM) might apply soon to obtain the 2016 Alan Shepard Technology in Education Award. Digital instructional content is the biggest slice of the (non-hardware) K-12 educational technology market place, with annual sales of far more then $3 billion. Technology is pricey – barely any schools can let themselves to buy beneficial gadgets that can be employed for teaching purposes.
Margaret is a Reduced School Technology Coordinator at a private school near Philadelphia, exactly where she oversees the new I.D.E.A. Studio, a space for PreK to 5th grade students to engage in design pondering, function as tinkerers and makers, and use their imaginations to invent and produce with both high and low-tech tools. One particular of the benefits of educational technology is that finding out sources are offered globally and without having any time restrictions, while traditional courses classes are held at a particular time in a certain venue. And making certain that an web connection is available is an aspect of distance education.
But a important physique of study has also produced clear that most teachers have been slow to transform the approaches they teach, despite the influx of new technologies into their classrooms. Climate station: can be extremely beneficial in geography or even biology/ecology, as with wireless technologies it is able to obtain data through its sensors from even hundreds of feet away, without having getting to go out from the classroom. Google Apps for Education has had a tremendous effect on how students understand, communicate, collaborate and engage in their understanding journey.
Developers like Oculus Rift , Samsung Gear VR , Sony Project Morpheus , HTC Vive , Microsoft Hololens , Google Cardboard bring virtual reality glasses offered to buyers at 2015 – 2016. For instance, I ask my students to select a technologies subject for a Summary, Analysis, and Response essay which asks them to research 3 or much more perspectives on an issue.
Margaret is also a Technologies and Education Consultant specializing in design and style considering, early childhood education, social media, and international education.

China watching Trump policies, will defend trade rights
[WASHINGTON] China will pay close attention to trade policies implemented by US President-elect Donald Trump, and will defend its rights in the World Trade Organization, a senior Chinese official said on Wednesday.
In a campaign punctuated by incendiary accusations, Mr Trump promised to declare China a currency manipulator on his first day in office, and threatened to slap 45 per cent punitive tariffs on Chinese imports to protect jobs.
The Chinese official meeting in Washington, however, said the US has obligations as a member of the WTO.
"Definitely we have paid close attention to the remarks made by Mr Trump during his presidential campaign," China's Deputy International Trade Minister Zhang Xiangchen told reporters through a translator.
"And we will also (be) closely observing what he will do after he takes office." But he seemed to cast doubt on whether Mr Trump would follow through on his threats.
Your feedback is important to us
Tell us what you think. Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com
"I think after Mr Trump takes office he will be reminded that (the) United States should honour its obligations as a member of the World Trade Organisation," Mr Zhang said.
When asked if China would retaliate, he said that "as a member of the WTO, China also has the right to ensure its rights."
As for the currency issue, Mr Zhang said economists and government officials agree China is not manipulating its currency, and "significant progress has been made" toward establishing a market-based exchange-rate regime.
US and Chinese officials meeting this week for the Joint Commission on Commerce and Trade, a forum to promote trade and investment and resolve disputes, feel strongly that the bilateral trade relationship will continue to be important "no matter how the leadership changes," Mr Zhang said.
US Trade Representative Michael Froman told reporters following the final JCCT meeting of the Obama administration that the relationship with China is key, but acknowledged there are "headwinds around the world about the benefits of trade and skepticism on the US-China relationship in particular."
He stressed that "the American public expects the relationship be based on a fair and level playing field, and greater reciprocity."
Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker noted that 11.5 million Americans have jobs that depend on exports, making engagement with trading partners critical.
She said there are differences with China that President Barack Obama's administration has fought to resolve. "What we work on is where we face an unlevel playing field."

There was no magic potion for George Hollen. No matter what regimen he tried to follow, George could not maintain a healthy weight. He could lose a significant amount of weight, but he always regained it and then some.
George was at the low end of his weight pendulum in 2010 when he proposed to his girlfriend, Rachel. They married three days later. By the time the couple celebrated their one-year anniversary at Disney World, George's weight had ballooned to more than 300 pounds.
Rachel fell in love with Disney all over again, and she started dreaming about a fairy tale wedding at the resort. Her prince, though, continued to struggle. With a full-time job at PPD, three children, and a side gig working at UNCW basketball games, George's weight climbed to more than 400 pounds.
Already on medications for high blood pressure and high cholesterol, he decided that he needed help to vanquish obesity for good. That's when he called NHRMC Bariatric Surgery Program and scheduled an appointment with Dr. James Harris.
For years, George had contemplated bariatric surgery, believing that it was somehow the "easy way out." When he met Dr. Harris and enrolled in the program, he quickly found out that slaying obesity is never easy, not even with a weapon as powerful as bariatric surgery.
Bariatric patients are required to lose some weight before the procedure. This accomplishes two things — it shows that the patient is committed to the process and it simplifies the surgical procedure.
"The process takes several months, but the results are dramatic," Dr. Harris said. "Patients frequently reduce their medications or eliminate them altogether."
George's results were remarkable. His cholesterol dropped significantly, and he no longer takes blood pressure medication. Over two years, he has lost 200 pounds.
The weight loss has allowed him to pursue one of his favorite healthy activities — running. George recently completed the Quintiles Wrightsville Beach Half Marathon, and he was greeted at the finish line by his cheering, beaming bride.
The race came just months after the Hollens had returned to Florida for that dream wedding. The bride sparkled in her bejeweled strapless gown, and the groom looked confident and dapper in his pink tie and boutonniere as a photographer took photos of them in the ballroom, enjoying every moment of their "happily ever after."
As much as the wedding was the fulfillment of Rachel's dream, it was also a celebration of George's transformation through the NHRMC Bariatric Surgery Program.
"I'm very proud of him," Rachel said. "This was not an easy thing to do, but he made the choice to be healthier for himself, and for our family."
George only wishes that he had contacted Dr. Harris years ago.
"Many people who have bariatric surgery have just one regret," Dr. Harris said. "That they didn't do it sooner."
This year, George enjoyed the rides with his children at Disney, drawing laughs by mugging for the Disneycam. And when Rachel wanted him to join her, George didn't have to consider whether the seat was big enough.
He has lost so much weight that he can fit comfortably inside any ride— even a teacup.

After doing k-means clustering on a set of observations, I would like to construct a discriminant function so as to classify new observations into the categories I found after k-means. Is this at all a good idea? What should I be careful with?
Can you use discriminant analysis to classify new observations into categories generated by a previous $k$-means clustering?
$\begingroup$ Of possible interest: Cluster Analysis followed by Discriminant Analysis. $\endgroup$ – chl Jul 11 '12 at 10:31
The idea to get a classifier for new cases after the classes had been identified in a cluster analysis is in itself natural and sane. Discriminant analysis could be such a tool, especially after K-means clustering. However, the DA's classifier will work well if assumptions of DA hold, such as (1) continuous data with approximately multivariate normal distribution for each class, (2) n in classes not very unbalanced, (3) variances/covariances not very different within classes (otherwise, Quadratic DA remains valid technique though).
Another thing that one should keep in mind is that the classifier can assign only to the existing classes; it doesn't tell you openly "this new case is so unusual that you better create a new class for it". Still, you can draw decision to create a new class if you compare Mahalanobis or euclidean distance (or PDF function which depend on the distance) of the new case to the class it has been assigned to with the one "typical" for that class in your training sample (i.e. the sample that you had clustered).
Finally, one should be aware that K-means clustering procedure can itself be used for classification of new cases; this is the "assign cases only, don't iterate" regime. A case will be assigned to the cluster to which it is closer. This simple way of classification new cases differs from DA's classification in that it does not rely on distributional assumptions and Bayes formula. Honestly, I can't tell you at this time whether I think this or that classification approach is better and why. Maybe a keen commentator will drop a hint here.
$\begingroup$ I was kind of aware of this but... I'm not sure how to measure the reliability of the classification. I can trying agasint the already classified data to see how well it goes but ... on new data? how can I know it will work well, in which cases? $\endgroup$ – JEquihua Jul 3 '12 at 4:16
$\begingroup$ Just one general way to assess the reliability of classification is to split one big sample into one training and several test subsamples, to see how much less correctly the classifier behaves in test subsamples compared to the training one. $\endgroup$ – ttnphns Jul 3 '12 at 5:46
Cluster analysis is a technique for constructing groups based on data appearing to be segregated in separate regions. It may have nothing to do with belonging to different groups. Discriminant analysis is a supervised learning method where the data are identified as belonging to distinct separate groups whether or not they cluster. If the groups cluster well then classification will work well. If you simply create categories on the basis of how they cluster there is no particular meaning to the categories and if nicely separated clusters are formed you are guaranteed good discrimination. What would be your motivation for doing this?

As channel 29 in Bakersfield, CA reported recently, it's tough to get into the Kern County firefighting academy. Ten percent of applicants are accepted into the ranks of the academy. One of the criteria: perfect color vision.
Liberty High student Chad Baldez had his heart set on becoming a firefighter.... until he found out he doesn't qualify because he's color blind. He says,"Well, I just wanted to be a firefighter. That's all I wanted to do- really never thought about doing anything else."
You have to see the video. The poor kid looks crushed.

Propeller and MOCCA.
Mark was on a mission to have some hot chocolate at Soma. Soma is among the few chocolate makers that makes chocolate in batches directly from the cacao bean or, as they say, "from bean to bar". They offer a hot chocolate elixir, which is essentially like having a melted top-quality chocolate bar. We each enjoyed a mug and wandered home quite content.
While I made some delicious Moroccan food from the great cookbook The Food of Morocco, Mark snuggled up on the couch to watch "The Blob" (1958) starring Steve McQueen. Such a great B-movie. We had a blast watching this cheesy classic.

Billy Boat Exhaust axle-back for the 2017-2019 C7 Grand Sport Corvette with a manual transmission and 2015-2019 C7 Z06 Corvette features high grade 304 stainless steel for the finest system integrity with speedway tips. Billy Boat Exhaust has combined the best of the Bullet exhaust with the best technology from the factory to give you the C7 Fusion Exhaust NO-DRONE System for your Corvette. Utilizing the same exhaust control valve as the factory system, you get a "Dr. Jekyll" cruising sound, and release the "Mr. Hyde" Bullet Exhaust sound when you want!
How loud is it? Through BBE's development and customer feedback, they have shortened the muffler, making the loud side of the muffler louder, which results in a tone similar to the famous Bullet system. In the closed position, the tone would be slightly louder than the standard Route 66 system.
What controls the valves? The butterfly is controlled by a vacuum valve for non-NPP C7s, as well as the C4, C5 and C6 Fusion exhausts which BBE built and developed completely in house. On the C7 with the NPP option, this valve is controlled by the ECU. The valve opens based on RPM and throttle position. The problem is the factory exhaust is very quiet, even with the valve open. Even in the closed position, the tone is deeper, louder, and more aggressive. Open the valves, the overall volume and tone increases to the point heads will turn when you drive up.
*Add the FCOR-0468 conversion kit for Corvette models without factory NPP controls. The kits comes complete with all the wiring, remote switch, vacuum line, vacuum accumulator, and vacuum switch needed for installation. Can only be ordered with Fusion Exhaust Systems.
Product Features
- 4″ Quad ROUND Double-Wall Tips
- Mandrel bent from the highest-grade T-304 stainless steel
- Designed, tested, and manufactured to the finest hand-made integrity found in any exhaust system
- Limited Lifetime Warranty
- Free Shipping to the Lower 48!

Amana began as a colony of German settlers in the mid-1800s. They lived communally and sustainably, even weaving their own textiles. As a result, they became known for heirloom handicrafts. Though Amana set aside its communal lifestyle during the Great Depression, its spirit of craftsmanship and community lives on. Today, Amana artisans craft textiles and homewares in the same building—and with the same old-world techniques—as they did over a century ago.

In this video our colleague Patrick Hall from Fstoppers tests 4 different 70-200mm lenses from both Nikon and Tamron to see which one is the best and which is the best value for money.
Both Nikon and Tamron released new 70-200mm lenses recently. Nikon updated their pro level zoom telephoto lens with a new version that has Fluorine coating and better optics and better image stabilization and without breathing (which was always a problem with the older version).
The new G2 70-200mm f/2.8 Tamron is also improved both in terms of the VC system for image stabilization and the image quality as well as the general build quality and design.
Hall seems to be pretty impressed with both the new lenses but given the huge difference in price it seems that for most users the G2 is simply a no brainier.
Here are the four lenses on this test and their prices – there is a huge difference betwen Nikon and Tamron and even a very big difference betwen the cost of the new and old Nikon lens.
- Tamron SP 70-200MM F/2.8 DI VC USD – $1200.
- Tamron SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC G2 – $1300.
- Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II AF-S – $2100.
- Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR – $2800.

Why Choose Mobile Massage & Yoga?
The benefits of massage & yoga are becoming more commonly known – stress relief, less anxiety and depression, increased flexibility, muscle strength and tone, and so on. So what could beat a massage or yoga session in a spa or club? How about professional massage & yoga in the comfort and privacy of your own home. Mobile massage therapy & private yoga sessions are increasingly popular because you can have the best of both worlds – a professional experience without leaving your home.
There are many reasons to consider mobile massage & yoga. Eliminating hassles like driving in traffic greatly reduces stress, both before and after, so that you can benefit more deeply from the inner serenity that massage & yoga promotes. Some may be sensitive to smells, or other stimuli in a public spa/club. Mothers who are expecting or have small children or are breastfeeding may find it difficult traveling to or uncomfortable in a public setting. For people dealing with injuries or limitations, having a professional come to you might be the only way to experience the benefits of massage & yoga. Many people simply feel more comfortable at home.
Whatever your reasons, we hope you choose Bodyworkx a your professional provider of massage & yoga services.

The debut album from the Boston 5-piece arrived in June '78, trading in that quintessentially Amercian brand of new wave that simply can't bear to let go of classic rock, to it's detriment. They line-up: Ric Ocasek (~35, vocals, rhythm guitar), Elliot Easton (34, lead guitar, backing vocals), Greg Hawkes (25, keyboards, percussion, saxophone, backing vocals), Benjamin Orr (30, vocals, bass) and David Robinson (29, drums, syndrums, percussion, backing vocals). As you might expect, the album was very well received on American radio stations, and worked it's way into the Billboard Top 20, aided by three successful single releases: "Just What I Needed" (#27) sung by bassist Benjamin, "My Best Friend's Girl" (#35) c/w double handclap pop-doo-wop goodness and "Good Times Roll" (#41) which begins by pretending it's going to explore cutting edge electronica before delving headlong into a Queen-like stadium-rocker. Such are the contradictions of the Boston 5.

An Aberdeen resident has hit out claiming he is living in "sub-standard" conditions at his high-rise flat – due to pigeon poo.
The birds have managed to gain access to parts of King's Court in Tillydrone as a result of internal and external work being carried out on the heating system.
David Girdwood, who has lived in the building for 10 years, believes the birds and their mess are a health and safety hazard for families.
He has raised the issue with councillors in the area, as well as Aberdeen City Council, but has yet to see any improvement in the problem.
The 42-year-old said: "I am sick to the back teeth of this issue – I don't see why I have to pay around £400 in rent for what I believe is sub-standard housing.
"I use the lift every day and have to stand by the mess which I know can be toxic. It's just really, really horrible, especially now we're coming into the summer months."
Pigeon mess, or guano, has potential to cause disease when density levels are high at roosting sites.
The mess can cause fungal diseases, such as histoplasmosis, when breathed in.
David, who works as a labourer, added: "I just have questions as to why it's taking this long to get it sorted."
Councillor Ross Grant said: "I'm surprised and disappointed that, after apparently having been raised by my SNP ward colleague, little progress has been made and residents are rightly frustrated."
The Evening Express has previously reported about similar issues in neighbouring high-rise Donside Court.
An Aberdeen City Council spokeswoman said: "Since the issue was raised with us, we have procured a contractor who has carried out a full survey of five multi-storey buildings, including King's Court.
"The contractor has carried out a first-time clean and defog to kill off any bugs in these areas.
"A programme of works is currently being produced by the contractor.
"The final stage of works should start next month."

Your business environment has the potential to help grow your business and boost your profit margin.

New Delhi, Feb 2018: German mattress brand Thomsen introduced Dormio, a luxury organic mattress retailer in the Indian market at Pop Street Lifestyle Exhibition and Fashion Show at Lalit hotel on Friday.
The company plans to invest 12 million Euros in the next four years to develop the new brand.
Thomsen has claimed that Dormio mattress and pillows are made up of Talalay Latex which is claimed to be breathable comfort foam with temperature and moisture regulatory properties.
The ortho pillows are made using 'vario system' which helps to adjust the height of the pillow as per the user's needs. It is made to relax the neck, shoulders and keep the cervical spine straight even in the sleeping position.
Thomsen spokesperson Anil Gupta said, "We have put special thought and care into designing our products that promises ultimate comfort at an easily affordable price unlike any other existing competitor in the market".
The product will be available on both online and offline platforms in different cities across India including Delhi and Uttar Pradesh.

Announcing a new website dedicated just to the While We're Waiting Weekend retreats for bereaved parents! Take a look at http://www.whilewerewaitingweekend.org/ and please pass the web address along to anyone you know who might be interested in attending a weekend like this. Check back from time to time, too...because we are in the process of working out some "mini" While We're Waiting Weekend retreats! These will be one day "pampering" retreats just for women, and there may even be a one-day retreat for men in the works. Please pray for these events as we are in the process of developing them, and watch this blog or the While We're Waiting Weekend website for details once they are finalized.
Something else we are looking forward to....I got a phone call the other day from Dick Antoine, who hosts a morning radio show on KZNG 1340 AM in Hot Springs. He asked if he could interview Brad and me about Hannah's experience with cancer. So, next Tuesday, April 19th, we will be sharing our story on the radio from 7:00 to 8:00 a.m. We are looking forward to the opportunity to share about Hannah, as well as the Anchor of Hope Cancer Ministry and the While We're Waiting Weekends. Please pray that God will give us the words He wants us to say, and that He will be glorified in all that transpires.
I've also been asked to share "Why I Relay" at the next Garland County Relay for Life team captain's meeting next Tuesday evening. Again, I ask for your prayers as I seek God's leadership in what He would have me to say.

My life seems to have become more exciting after starting this blog...
Of course I have a long way to go before I get better at blogging but am glad that I started it.
It feels so good to talk to like minded people and share their views...
Cards made for a good cause and often upcycled to respect and care for the environment.
It's lots of fun sharing ideas and photos of our creations, isn't it!! That's what I thought once I started my blog too and I've met so many wonderful *artists* from all over the world :o)
So right, Dallas, it is fun and exciting, too.
Do see the new Ribbon and Jute card I have made. It is made on handmade paper. And I have done some pop up glue painting at the bottom of the card.
Happy viewing and crafting!

Psychedelic Modular Patch
Published on May 16, 2017 Urs Heckmann
Urs Heckman of U-he.
"A quick recording of a minimalistic rhythmic patch I came up with. It's a bit on the repetitive side with a huge boomy bass, which makes it sound a bit psychedelic. The sitar-like timbres from Rings add to this.
I was exploring two things: Using the Vermona fourMulator as 'offbeat processor' to have shifted triggers and modulations, i.e. 'disguise the downbeat'. Using uScale, uVCA and Quadra (+ S&H in Kinks) to occasionally add a pseudo-random melody line into Rings. I also wanted the whole thing be transposable through Pressure Points.
Apart from that there's various triggers (Circadian Rhythm, A 142-1, more fourMulator) playing a few drum sounds (HexInv HiHat, Peaks BD, 'triangles' from SMR), another Pressure Points (with Brains) controlling a synth arpeggio (VCO2RM + OptoMix).
This is also the first patch I found worth recording, mainly also because it's contained on just one case/rack. I hope to find the time to explore some more patches that allow for more complex musical structures.
Also, in future I'll probably record each voice separately in order to get a better final mix and maybe also a more distinct amount of reverb and delay ;-)"

Maryland Student Wins 2012 Ford Escape Courtesy of Super 8
PARSIPPANY, NJ--(Marketwire - Sep 21, 2011) - Derek Hooper, a native of Pittsburg, Kan., and second year seminary student at Mount St. Mary's University in Emmitsburg, Md., is feeling super after being named the grand prize winner of the Super 8® hotel brand's ″Gr8 Escape″ Sweepstakes.
As the grand prize winner, Hooper is now the proud owner of a 2012 Ford Escape Hybrid Limited with voice-activated SYNC® In-Car Connectivity System, power moon roof, premium leather seats, rear view camera and SIRIUS® Satellite Radio. The prize carries a value of $40,000.
″This is truly unbelievable,″ said Hooper. ″I've really wanted a larger car for awhile now so you can imagine my surprise when I found out that all of the sudden, I have a new Ford Escape Hybrid. I couldn't be happier or more appreciative.″

Continued from here….
He obeyed even unto death, hanging on the tree, He put away the old disobedience which was wrought in the tree.
He is the Word of God Almighty, who in unseen manner in our midst is universally extended in all the world, and encompasses its length and breadth and height and depth.
For by the Word of God the whole universe is ordered and disposed.
In it the Son of God is crucified, inscribed crosswise upon it all.
For it is right that He being made visible, should set upon all things visible the sharing of His cross, that He might show His operation on visible things through a visible form.
For He it is who illuminates the height, that is the heavens; and encompasses the deep which is beneath the earth and stretches and spreads out the length from east to west.
He it is who steers across the breadth of north and south summoning all that are scattered in every quarter to the knowledge of the Father.
Moreover He fulfilled the promise made to Abraham, which God had promised him, to make his seed as the stars of heaven.
For this Christ did, who was born of the Virgin who was of Abraham's seed, and constituted those who have faith in Him lights in the world, and by the same faith with Abraham justified the Gentiles.
For Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. In like manner we also are justified by faith in God: for the just shall live by faith.
Now not by the law is the promise to Abraham, but by faith: for Abraham was justified by faith: and for a righteous man the law is not made.
In like manner we also are justified not by the law, but by faith, which is witnessed to in the law and in the prophets, whom the Word of God presents to us.
And He fulfilled the promise to David; for to him God had promised that of the fruit of his body He would raise up an eternal King, whose kingdom should have no end.
And this King is Christ, the Son of God, who became the Son of man; that is, who became the fruit of that Virgin who had her descent from David.
And for this cause the promise was, Of the fruit of thy body – that He might declare the peculiar uniqueness of Him, who was the fruit of the virgin body that was of David, even of Him who was King over the house of David, and of whose kingdom there shall be no end.
Irenaeus of Lyons (2nd century AD – c. 202): Demonstration of the Apostolic Preaching, 34-36 (slightly adapted).

This caramelized kimchi baba ghanoush is the perfect dip for crudité and crackers, or serves as a wonderful spread on sandwiches and crostini. Slideshow:
How to Make It
Char the eggplants over a gas flame or under the broiler, turning occasionally, until blackened all over and tender, about ten minutes. Transfer to a plate and let stand until cool enough to handle.
Set a colander over a bowl. Scoop the eggplant flesh into the colander; discard the skins. Let drain for 15 minutes, then transfer to a food processor. (Discard the drained juices.)
Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add 1 cup of the kimchi and cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 5 minutes. Add the cooked kimchi, tahini, garlic, lemon juice and the remaining 1 cup of kimchi; pulse to combine. With the machine on, slowly drizzle in the remaining 1 cup of oil. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with scallions.

The Red Antler
Top tags:
We went to check out the band. The Dirt was awesome!
Despite a reservation booked a month in advance for our group of 8 ( I knew it would be busy as it was New Year's Eve) we were sat at a tight table that was meant for 5. Looking around, other tables that could seat 8 easily and comfortably, were occupied by groups of 4 or 5. We did question this to staff but the reply was , this is what they have for us. Needless to say this experience greatly diminished my view of this once loved restaurant that we have been loyal to for quite a few years.
Salmon was burnt on outside raw on inside
Spaghetti pasta was overcooked
We've been to Silver Star many times, but this was our first (and last!) visit to the Red Antler. The only bright spot was a server who appeared a couple of times in the middle of our meal, and was very helpful and attentive. Our main server was indifferent, and the food was surprisingly poor: the mashed potatoes were instant, the pork schnitzel had a distinct fishy flavor, the chicken parmesan was flavorless, and even the spaghetti sauce was watery and noticeably inferior to a decent jar of sauce from a supermarket. The vibe was decent, with appropriate decor and the energy you'd expect in a ski resort eatery. We paid $140 plus tip for 4 adults and a kid (no kids menu), which I'd happily pay for a great meal, but this was far from worth it for what we got. Maybe they do better when it's not during the holidays, but based on our experience, I'd recommend giving the Red Antler a miss.
Party of 8 including 2 young kids, arrived on time for our 7pm sitting. Went to buffet immediately. After getting our first serving the buffet was cleared away, including the desert items! So we were not able to go back for more and we had to ask the waitress if we could get dessert! The waitress was quite embarrassed about the situation but she still provided great service. She was able to get us the desserts, but it was quite apparent that the Christmas dinner was over and management wanted patrons to clear out. The food was ok but disappointing experience!
Our Christmas Buffet experience of 2018 was considerably better and we enjoyed the variety and choice of dishes. This year the turkey buffet was pretty much what we expected as I had checked the menu beforehand with a staff member. (Who was very pleasant). They also made an adjustment to my booking so we could join our friends. However, we were now a party of were 6 adults at our table and the music was very loud and more suitable for a general "pub" night than the Christmas Dinner. We may go back to SilverStar for Christmas Day/Boxing Day again next year but possibly not to the Red Antler.
Great staff! Our waitress Dizzy was the best! Super attentive and so friendly. The atmosphere was warm and perfect for Christmas. The food was delicious, great turkey dinner with all the trimmings. Save the hassle and come to the Antler for Christmas every year!!
they didn't have our open table reservation
Forgot to order our starter
The potatoes arrived straight from fridge stone cold
Food was not good dry overcooked
Good food and a great atmosphere!! Beer and cocktail selection was great.
Extremely noisy. Football game blasting. Unable to talk. Staff that took us to the table was unfriendly. Sat for a while but no one came to serve us so we left
A great experience for the first time Christmas Day Buffet Brunch. Booking was easy!! The food was really good and plenty of variety and plenty of it!!! The only item missing would be a fish choice maybe or at least an option to purchase. The staff were friendly and we enjoyed our chat with Jo our waitress from Aussieland!!! Will certainly book again for next year and although we are "local" would probably try to book overnight to add to the feeling of a mini vacation. We snowshoe/ski and will be back to the Red Antler for our "acres activity" on our future visits. Thank you.
This is Christmas eve at the Red Antler so its busy all at once after the fireworks. We expect the service to be slower and we accept that. Overall the atmosphere is good and being with friends and family is always a good thing. They are for my part, expensive, but where isn't anymore. We have been going there for years on Christmas Eve and it has become a tradition for us, we will be back next year. Our server was very good and kept us up on when our food would be ready, drinks kept coming in the mean time. Good time.
An atypical experience at the Red Antler tonite that was all the more unfortunate as it was Christmas Eve.
Food came before our drinks and the ribs were super chewy and inedible. They took my ribs off the bill and the service was alright considering how busy it was.
The Red Antler is rated 2.9 stars by 14 OpenTable diners.

We know that foot massages can release a great amount of tension and make you overall more relaxed and comfortable. However, do you know why that is? This is why you should get a foot rub every day and the answer may surprise you.
Massage therapy is also known as reflexology because it relaxes your body, relieves tension and promotes healing through pressure points. This goes double for your feet.
Reflexology happens when pressure is applied to a certain body part such as the hands and feet. As a result, a separate body part has a positive reaction. However, your feet are a major part of this because they're connected to your organs. When you massage the feet, you can increase your stimulation as well as your libido.
Massaging your feet can actually have several health benefits and may even prevent disease.
Surprisingly, different parts of your feet and toes are connected to different parts of your body. Your big toe is connected to your lungs and brain while your second, third and fourth toes can help with toothaches. Your pinky toe can cure earaches.
Getting a regular foot massage can have a number of health benefits such as preventing disease, promoting proper blood circulation and even helping you improve your sleep. Parts of your feet are connected to organs such as your heart, eyes and even your tongue.
To properly massage your feet, rub oil into the tops of your feet before rubbing your thumb across the sole in a circular motion. Then rub each toe individually to properly exercise each connective part.

One of the joys of marriage happens to be children. The bitter-sweet journey, that is childbirth. A journey Sonnie Badu and his wife have successfully completed as they welcome the latest addition to their young family.
[mark color="yellow"] Checkout: Kwaw Kese blasts Korle-Bu Hospital [/mark]
Children are such joys to behold. Blessings from God Almighty. Children bring good cheer and happiness to any home they enter. Granted not every marriage will produce children, and in fact some people do not want children at all. That's life for you, it's full of choices.
But for those who want children, it is a beautiful thing to experience. That is the experience Sonnie Badu and his wife, in fact and his whole family, are currently experiencing.
