Bacon is a meat product prepared from a pig and usually cured.[1][2] It is first cured using large quantities of salt,[2] either in a brine or in a dry packing; the result is fresh bacon (also known as green bacon).[3] Fresh bacon may then be further dried for weeks or months in cold air, or it may be boiled or smoked.[1] Fresh and dried bacon is typically cooked before eating. Boiled bacon is ready to eat, as is some smoked bacon, but may be cooked further before eating.
Bacon is prepared from several different cuts of meat. It is usually made from side and back cuts of pork,[4] except in the United States, where it is almost always prepared from pork belly (typically referred to as "streaky", "fatty", or "American style" outside of the US and Canada). The side cut has more meat and less fat than the belly. Bacon may be prepared from either of two distinct back cuts: fatback, which is almost pure fat, and pork loin, which is very lean. Bacon-cured pork loin is known as back bacon.
Bacon may be eaten smoked, boiled, fried, baked, or grilled, or used as a minor ingredient to flavour dishes. Bacon is also used for barding and larding roasts, especially game, including venison and pheasant. The word is derived from the Old High German bacho, meaning "buttock", "ham" or "side of bacon", and cognate with the Old French bacon.[5][6]
In continental Europe, part of the pig is not usually smoked like bacon is in the United States; it is used primarily in cubes (lardons) as a cooking ingredient, valued both as a source of fat and for its flavour. In Italy, this is called pancetta and is usually cooked in small cubes or served uncooked and thinly sliced as part of an antipasto.
Meat from other animals, such as beef, lamb, chicken, goat, or turkey, may also be cut, cured, or otherwise prepared to resemble bacon, and may even be referred to as "bacon".[7] Such use is common in areas with significant Jewish and Muslim populations, both of which prohibit the consumption of pig.[8] The USDA defines bacon as "the cured belly of a swine carcass"; other cuts and characteristics must be separately qualified (e.g., "smoked pork loin bacon"). For safety, bacon may be treated to prevent trichinosis,[9] caused by Trichinella, a parasitic roundworm which can be destroyed by heating, freezing, drying, or smoking.[10]
Bacon is distinguished from salt pork and ham by differences in the brine (or dry packing). Bacon brine has added curing ingredients, most notably sodium nitrite, and occasionally potassium nitrate (saltpeter); sodium ascorbate or erythorbate are added to accelerate curing and stabilise colour. Flavourings such as brown sugar or maple are used for some products. Sodium polyphosphates, such as sodium triphosphate, may be added to make the produce easier to slice and to reduce spattering when the bacon is pan-fried. Today, a brine for ham, but not bacon, includes a large amount of sugar. Historically, "ham" and "bacon" referred to different cuts of meat that were brined or packed identically, often together in the same barrel.

Curing and smoking bacon
Bacon is cured through either a process of injecting with or soaking in brine or using plain salt (dry curing).[2][11]
In America, bacon is usually cured and smoked, and different flavours can be achieved by using various types of wood, or rarely corn cobs; peat is sometimes used in the United Kingdom. This process can take up to eighteen hours, depending on the intensity of the flavour desired. The Virginia Housewife (1824), thought to be one of the earliest American cookbooks, gives no indication that bacon is ever not smoked, though it gives no advice on flavouring, noting only that care should be taken lest the fire get too hot.[12] In early American history, the preparation and smoking of bacon (like the making of sausage) seems to have been a gender-neutral process, one of the few food-preparation processes not divided by gender.[13]
In the United Kingdom and Ireland, smoked and unsmoked varieties are equally common, unsmoked being referred to as green bacon.[3] The term streaky bacon refers to belly bacon, due to the prominence of the bands of fat.[14]
Cuts of bacon
Rashers differ depending on the primal cut from which they are prepared:[15][16]
- Side bacon, or streaky bacon, comes from pork belly.[15][16] It is very fatty with long layers of fat running parallel to the rind.[15][17][18] This is the most common form of bacon in the United States.[15] Pancetta is Italian streaky bacon, smoked or aqua (unsmoked), with a strong flavour.[15][16] It is generally rolled up into cylinders after curing.[15][16]
- Middle bacon, from the side of the animal, is intermediate in cost, fat content, and flavour between streaky bacon and back bacon.[15]
- Back bacon (rashers, or, in the United States, Canadian bacon) comes from the loin in the middle of the back of the pig.[15][17][19] It is a very lean, meaty cut of bacon, with less fat compared to other cuts.[16] It has a ham-like texture.[15] Most bacon consumed in the United Kingdom is back bacon.[15][20]
- Cottage bacon is thinly sliced lean pork meat from a shoulder cut that is typically oval shaped and meaty.[15][21] It is cured and then sliced into round pieces for baking or frying.[15]
- Jowl bacon is cured and smoked cheeks of pork.[22] See Guanciale.
- Slab bacon is side bacon that is not sliced.[16] It generally has the rind still intact and usually has a medium to very high fraction of fat.[16][23] It is made from the belly[23] and side cuts, and from fatback.[15] Slab bacon is not to be confused with salt pork, which is prepared from the same cuts, but is not cured.[15]
Bacon joints include the following:
- Collar bacon is taken from the back of a pig near the head.[15][24]
- Hock, from the hog ankle joint between the ham and the foot.[15][25] See Ham hock.
- Gammon, from the hind leg,[15] traditionally "Wiltshire cured".[26] See Gammon (meat).
- Picnic bacon is from the picnic cut, which includes the shoulder beneath the blade.[15][27] It is fairly lean, but tougher than most pork cuts.[15]
First, pork bellies are sorted by size and fat percentage.[28] They are then placed into a large machine that rotates (often called a tumbler).[29] This softens the bellies, which makes it easier to remove the rinds. The bellies are then cut, either manually or mechanically, to remove the skin from the meat. The skins may be used to be processed into pork rinds. The bacon is then treated by a brine solution.[28][29] The brine solution may contain the flavorings, or the flavorings may be added later. After being brined, the bacon is smoked. Depending on where the bacon is made, the smoking process is different. The bacon is then cooked in an oven and soon after chilled for a few days. The cooling makes the meat firm which makes it easier to slice.[29] After being cooled, the bacon is sliced into strips. The bacon is then cooked. The fat that cooks off the bacon is sometimes collected to be used for things like gravy and pet foods.[29] The bacon strips are then ready for consumption. If the bacon is made for commercial use then the strips are packaged.[29]
Around the world
Traditionally, the skin is left on the cut and is known as 'bacon rind',[30] but rindless bacon is also common throughout the English-speaking world. The meat may be bought smoked or unsmoked. Bacon is often served with eggs and sausages as part of a full breakfast.[31]
United States
A side of unsliced bacon was once known as a 'flitch';[32] it is now known as a 'slab'.[33] An individual rasher of bacon is known as a 'slice' or 'strip'. The term 'rasher of bacon' is occasionally encountered (e.g., on restaurant menus) to mean a serving of bacon (typically several slices).[4]
American bacons include varieties smoked with hickory or corncobs and flavourings such as red pepper, maple, brown sugar, honey, molasses, and occasionally cinnamon. They vary in sweetness and saltiness and come from the Ozarks, New England, and the upper South (mainly Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia).[34]
- The term 'bacon' on its own generally refers to strip bacon from the belly meat of the pig, which is the most popular type of bacon sold in the US.
- 'Canadian Bacon' or 'Canadian-style bacon' is made from the pork loin,[35] usually the lean ovoid portion (longissimus muscle or loineye).[27] It also can be made from the sirloin portion of the loin (gluteal muscles), but must be labelled appropriately. Similar products are used as less expensive substitutes.
- 'Streak o' lean', a Southern bacon made from fatback[36]
An individual piece of bacon is a 'slice' or 'strip'. In Canada:
- The term bacon on its own or, more specifically, side bacon[37] typically refers to bacon from the pig's belly.
- Back bacon refers to either smoked or unsmoked bacon cut from the boneless eye of pork loin;[37] this is called 'Canadian bacon' in the United States.
- Peameal bacon is back bacon, brined and coated in fine cornmeal (historically, it was rolled in a meal made from ground dried peas).[37]
United Kingdom and Ireland
A rasher of bacon is a thin slice;[4] rashers were called collops in the sixteenth century. Bacon is usually described as either streaky or back:
- The term bacon on its own does not specify the cut.
- Bacon from the pork belly, with streaks of meat and fat, is referred to as 'streaky bacon'
- Bacon from the back of the pig is referred to as 'back bacon', and usually includes a streaky bit and a lean oval bit.
- Middle cuts with an eye of meat and an extended streaky section are common.
- Heavily trimmed back cuts which may consist of just the eye of meat are available.
Bacon may be cured in several ways; in particular it may be described as smoked or unsmoked. Many ways of curing add water to the meat; bacon sold as "dry cured" does not have added water. For example, in a shop a particular type may be described as "dry-cured unsmoked back bacon".[38]
Grilled[4] or fried bacon rashers are included in the traditional full breakfast, which varies slightly from country to country ("full Scottish", etc.).
Australia and New Zealand
Middle bacon is the most common variety and is sold in 'rashers'. Middle bacon includes the streaky, fatty section along with the loin at one end. In response to increasing consumer diet-consciousness, some supermarkets also offer the loin section only. This is sold as 'short cut bacon' and is usually priced slightly higher than middle bacon. Both varieties are usually available with the rind removed.[39]
In Japan, bacon (ベーコン)[40] is pronounced "bēkon". It is cured and smoked belly meat as in the US, and is sold in either regular or half length sizes. Bacon in Japan is different from that in the US in that the meat is not sold raw, but is processed, precooked and has a ham-like consistency when cooked.[41] Uncured belly rashers, known as bara (バラ), are very popular in Japan and are used in a variety of dishes (e.g. yakitori and yakiniku).
Addictive taste
Arun Gupta of The Indypendent has pointed out how bacon possesses six ingredient types of umami, which elicits an addictive neurochemical response.[42] According to Gupta, "the chain lards on bacon", which give foods a "high flavor profile" creating a "one-of-a-kind product that has no taste substitute."[43] This led Dr. David Kessler, author of The End of Overeating, to note how the standard joke in the restaurant chain industry goes, "When in doubt, throw cheese and bacon on it."[43]
Bacon mania
There is: bacon ice cream; bacon-infused vodka; deep-fried bacon; chocolate-dipped bacon; bacon-wrapped hot dogs filled with cheese (which are fried, then battered and fried again); brioche bread pudding smothered in bacon sauce; hard-boiled eggs coated in mayonnaise encased in bacon—called, appropriately, the "heart attack snack"; bacon salt; bacon doughnuts, cupcakes and cookies; bacon mints; "baconnaise," which Jon Stewart described as "for people who want to get heart disease but [are] too lazy to actually make bacon"; Wendy's "Baconnator"—six strips of bacon mounded atop a half-pound cheeseburger—which sold 25 million in its first eight weeks; and the outlandish bacon explosion—a barbecued meat brick composed of 2 pounds of bacon wrapped around 2 pounds of sausage.
— Arun Gupta[43]
The United States and Canada have seen an increase in the popularity of bacon and bacon related recipes, dubbed "bacon mania". The sale of bacon in the U.S. has increased significantly since 2011. Sales climbed 9.5% in 2013, making it an all-time high of nearly $4 billion in U.S. In a survey conducted by Smithfield, 65% of Americans would support bacon as their "national food."[44] Dishes such as bacon explosion, chicken fried bacon, and chocolate-covered bacon have been popularised over the internet,[45] as has using candied bacon. Recipes spread quickly through both countries' national media, culinary blogs, and YouTube.[46][47] Restaurants have organized and are organizing bacon and beer tasting nights,[48] The New York Times reported on bacon infused with Irish whiskey used for Saint Patrick's Day cocktails,[49] and celebrity chef Bobby Flay has endorsed a "Bacon of the Month" club online, in print,[50] and on national television.[51]
Commentators explain this surging interest in bacon by reference to what they deem American cultural characteristics. Sarah Hepola, in a 2008 article in Salon.com, suggests a number of reasons, one of them being that eating bacon in the modern, health-conscious world is an act of rebellion: "Loving bacon is like shoving a middle finger in the face of all that is healthy and holy while an unfiltered cigarette smoulders between your lips."[52] She also suggests bacon is sexy (with a reference to Sarah Katherine Lewis' book Sex and Bacon), kitsch, and funny. Hepola concludes by saying that "Bacon is American".
Alison Cook, writing in the Houston Chronicle, argues the case of bacon's American citizenship by referring to historical and geographical uses of bacon.[46] Early American literature echoes the sentiment—in Ebenezer Cooke's 1708 poem The Sot-Weed Factor, a satire of life in early colonial America, the narrator already complains that practically all the food in America was bacon-infused.[53]
Bacon dishes
Bacon dishes include bacon and eggs, bacon, lettuce, and tomato (BLT) sandwiches, Cobb salad, and various bacon-wrapped foods (scallops, shrimp,[54][55][56] and asparagus). Recently-invented bacon dishes include chicken fried bacon, chocolate covered bacon, and the bacon explosion. Tatws Pum Munud is a traditional Welsh stew, made with sliced potatoes, vegetables and smoked bacon. Bacon jam and bacon marmalade are also commercially available.
In the U.S. and Europe, bacon is commonly used as a condiment or topping on other foods, often in the form of bacon bits. Streaky bacon is more commonly used as a topping in the U.S. on such items as pizza, salads, sandwiches, hamburgers, baked potatoes, hot dogs, and soups. In the U.S., sliced smoked loin, which Americans call Canadian bacon, is used less frequently than the streaky variety, but can sometimes be found on pizza, salads, and omelettes.
Bacon is also used in adaptations of dishes; for example, bacon wrapped meatloaf,[57] and can be mixed in with green beans[58] or served sautéed over spinach
Bacon fat
Bacon fat liquefies and becomes bacon drippings when it is heated. Once cool, it firms into lard if from uncured meat, or rendered bacon fat if from cured meat. Bacon fat is flavourful and is used for various cooking purposes. Traditionally, bacon grease is saved in British and southern U.S. cuisine, and used as a base for cooking and as an all-purpose flavouring, for everything from gravy to cornbread[59] to salad dressing.[60]
Bacon, or bacon fat, is often used for barding roast fowl and game birds, especially those that have little fat themselves. Barding consists of laying rashers of bacon or other fats over a roast; a variation is the traditional method of preparing filet mignon of beef, which is wrapped in rashers of bacon before cooking. The bacon itself may afterwards be discarded or served to eat, like cracklings.
One teaspoon (4 g or 0.14 oz) of bacon grease has 38 calories (160 kJ).[61] It is composed almost completely of fat, with very little additional nutritional value. Bacon fat is roughly 40% saturated.[61] Despite the disputed health risks of excessive bacon grease consumption, it remains popular in the cuisine of the American South.[62]
One 20-gram (0.7 oz) rasher of cooked streaky bacon contains 5.4 grams (0.2 oz) of fat, and 4.4 grams (0.2 oz) of protein.[63] Four pieces of bacon can also contain up to 800 mg of sodium, which is roughly equivalent to 1.92 grams of salt. The fat and protein content varies depending on the cut and cooking method.
68% of bacon's calories come from fat, almost half of which are saturated.[64] Each ounce of bacon contains 30 milligrams of cholesterol.[64][65]
Religious concerns
Judaism prohibits the consumption of bacon as part of the Kashrut, the Jewish dietary laws, that are derived from the Book of Deuteronomy. In kashrut, pig is not kosher, which means it is not fit for consumption. Deuteronomy 14:3-10 states, "Do not eat any detestable thing. ... The pig is also unclean; although it has a split hoof, it does not chew the cud. You are not to eat their meat or touch their carcasses."[66] The Islamic faith also prohibits the consumption of bacon: The Quran: Surah 2:172-173 states, "Allah ... hat only forbidden you [to eat] Dead meat, and blood. And the flesh of swine ..."[66] Texas A&M's Meat Science defines the Quran's objection to swine on the basis that swine are filthy animals with its flesh contaminating its consumer, swine are more vulnerable to disease, and the flesh is more fat than muscle.[66]
Some Christian churches also prohibit the consumption of pork: the Seventh-day Adventist Church prohibits the consumption of swine as taboo,[67] and the Ethiopian Orthodox Church forbids the consumption of pork because pigs are "unclean".[68]
Health concerns
Bacon has a large amount of sodium, and the consumption of a large amount of sodium can put a person at risk for heart disease and high blood pressure.[65]
Bacon is considered by many doctors to be unhealthy if eaten in excess.[65] A study conducted by researchers at the University of Zurich found a connection between eating processed meat and the risk of dying from heart disease or cancer.[65] Processed meats contain preservatives known as nitrates that, when absorbed by the human body, convert into nitrosamine, a chemical compound that could cause cancer.[65] A second study by researchers at Columbia University found that the consumption of cured meats increase a person's chances of developing chronic pulmonary disease.[65][69][70]
Researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health found in 2010 that eating processed meats (such as bacon) that are preserved by smoking, curing or salting, or with the addition of chemical preservatives, was associated with an increased risk of both heart disease and diabetes.[71] The same association was not found for unprocessed meat.[71]
Turkey bacon
Turkey bacon is a popular alternative to bacon.[16][72] People may choose turkey bacon over real bacon due to health benefits, religious laws, or other reasons.[72] It is lower in fat and calories than bacon,[16][72] but may be used in a similar manner (such as in a BLT sandwich).[72]
Production and use
The meat for turkey bacon comes from the whole turkey and can be cured or uncured, smoked, chopped, and reformed into strips that resemble bacon.[16] Turkey bacon is cooked by pan-frying.[72] Cured turkey bacon made from dark meat can be 90% fat free.[73] The low fat content of turkey bacon means it does not shrink while being cooked and has a tendency to stick to the pan.[73]
Vegetarian bacon
Vegetarian bacon, also referred to as fakon, veggie bacon, or vacon, is a product marketed as a bacon alternative that is available in supermarkets.[74][75] It has no cholesterol, is low in fat,[75] and contains large amounts of protein and fiber.[74] Two slices contain about 74 calories.[74]
Bacon has received mixed reviews from the public.
On one hand, bacon has received a positive reception by the public. Bacon Today states that bacon has a very valuable amount of protein that is "valuable to maintaining our energy levels and a fully functioning, healthy body, with a minimum of those nasty, waist, thigh and butt expanding, fat building carbohydrates."[76] Everything Tastes Better with Bacon, a book by Sara Perry, is a cookbook that compliments bacon's many uses in cooking.[77]
On the other hand, as with most meat products, producers of bacon have received heavy criticism for how their pigs are treated. Many petitions and protests have occurred trying to raise awareness and change how producers treat their pigs. Many of these protests have turned out successful: for example, following NBC News's report of an undercover investigation of an abusive pig farm, Tyson Foods terminated their contract with the pig farm.[78] Similar to NBC's investigation, The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) investigated Seaboard Foods, one of the pig breeding facilities that supply Walmart.[79] According to HSUS, the pigs were treated poorly and abused. Walmart spokesperson Diana Gee said, "As soon as we were made aware of the allegations, we immediately reached out to Seaboard to begin investigating the issue ... Pending our review, we will take any action necessary." Petitions also exist that oppose poor treatment of pigs, many of which state that the current treatment of pigs in factories is cruel and unethical.[80][81]
Bacon flavoured products
The popularity of bacon in the United States has given rise to a number of commercial products that promise to add bacon flavouring without the labour involved in cooking it or the perceived negative qualities of bacon. Some of the more unusual products are evidence of the recent bacon fad, including bacon vodka, bacon peanut brittle,[82] bacon toothpaste,[83] Baconnaise (bacon mayonnaise),[16] Bacon Salt,[16] bacon popcorn, and bacon mints.[84] A range of inedible products are also available including bacon band-aids, dental floss,[46] scarves, soaps, chewing gum, perfumes, and air fresheners.
Bacon bits
Bacon bits are a frequently used topping on salad or potatoes, and a common element of salad bars.[16] They are usually salted. Bacon bits are made from either small, crumbled pieces of bacon (ends and pieces)[16] or torn or misshapen rashers; in commercial plants they are cooked in continuous microwave ovens. Similar products are made from ham or turkey, and analogues are made from textured vegetable protein, artificially flavoured to resemble bacon.[85]
Other bacon-flavoured products
Turkey bacon and vegetarian bacon (see above) are popular alternatives to real bacon. There is also a wide range of other bacon-flavoured products, including a bacon-flavoured salt (Bacon Salt),[16][86] Baconnaise (a bacon-flavoured mayonnaise),[16][87] Bacon Grill (a tinned meat, similar to Spam) and bacon ice cream.
In popular culture
Bacon has been gaining popularity over the past decade.[88] It has become a fad on the internet.[89]
Epic Meal Time
Epic Meal Time, a cooking show based on YouTube, features bacon in many of their episodes. In one episode entitled Bacon Tree, Epic Meal Time creates a tree made out of bacon using over 2,000 strips of bacon.[90] In another episode entitled Boss Bacon Burger, over 400 strips of bacon are used to make a gigantic hamburger with bacon and other toppings.[91]

I bought these about 2 years ago and got about 6 months of use from them before the sole on each shoe split. Up until then they were comfy.

Another season is upon us, friends, so welcome to year 6 of MMQ. Unfortunately, today's game is mostly an exhibition against the FCS (formerly Div. 1-AA) Penguins of Youngstown State.
The weather forecast is for the mid 60s and high winds. That can't be a surprise drop of about 25 degrees from Thursday afternoon in Happy Valley, especially considering that hell has frozen over ever since JoePa selected the youngest starting QB since before WWI (yes, the first war to end all wars). Robert Bolden, who arrived on campus this summer and was given virtually no shot at anything but redshirting this year, has apparently edged out Kevin Newsome, Matt McGloin and Paul Jones. This is a sign that A) Bolden is the real deal; B) coach Paterno is trying to light a fire under either Newsome or McGloin; or C) PSU is in a world of hurt and a true frosh is the best PSU has. MMQ is really, really hoping for A.
Otherwise, I guess we'll see what we learn this afternoon. What we do know will happen is: most of the student section will be late arriving, there will be plenty of talk about STEP, and that it'll be windy and a heckuva lot colder than it has been since April.
What we don't know: Will PSU announce attendance over 100,000 when it most clearly is not? Will PSU try to play a rotation of six LBs because of a ridiculous wealth of talent? Will Stefen Wisniewski try to play every single OL position or will he be cloned into doing so?
Here's what MMQ sees: A PSU team that is taking this game as a Blue-White do-over for the QB competition. I doubt PSU will have to try very hard to establish the run, and I can see plenty of passes being thrown by all three QBs in an effort to ID a leader and starter. If Bolden can play a mistake free game, it's probably his job to lose. If not, well, I could very well see a different starter in Tuscaloosa for the real season opener.
I'm mildly curious as to how the lines perform, although YSU is hardly the opponent to measure progress on. Let's hope the Lions stay healthy and a QB is established. Call it 41-3 Lions and pass the hot chocolate with the blue and white marshmallows.
Another season is upon us, friends, so welcome to year 6 of MMQ. Unfortunately, today's game is mostly an exhibition against the FCS (formerly Div. 1-AA) Penguins of Youngstown State.

Redwood City lost one of its local businesses recently. Charm's Chocolate Chip Cookies, formerly at 701 El Camino Real, has closed its shutters for good.
Charm's was only in business for about three years, according to its Yelp.com page. While there was the occasional bad review, most Yelpers seemed to love the store's chocolate chip, lemon and snickerdoodle cookies and cupcakes.
Now that Charm's is no more, Patch wants to know - what type of business would you like to see open up in its place? What does this stretch of El Camino, home to House of Humor, Sodini's bar and other businesses - need to make it complete?

Somali pirates seize Greek ship off East Africa
NAIROBI, Kenya - NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) - The European Union's anti-piracy force says Somali pirates have hijacked a Greek-owned ship with 26 crew members in the Indian Ocean.
The Liberian-flagged MV Eleni P was headed to India when pirates seized it 250 nautical miles off the coast of Oman Wednesday morning.
The EU Naval Force says the crew consists of 23 Filipinos, two Romanians and 1 Indian. They are reported to be safe.
At least 20 vessels are being held by Somali pirates.
Somalia's 19 years of lawlessness has allowed piracy to flourish. Pirates are earning multimillion dollar ransoms from successful hijackings.

ZEBULON — Just north of here, on the Wake County line, David Hockaday and his wife, Debbie Hockaday have found a way to save some money during the holidays: light up their house.
David Hockaday said his home's decorations are how he and his wife celebrate Christmas in a time when money is tight and their sons have grown up and moved out.
"In the last few years, the economy's been really hard on us so we don't really do the gifting thing," he said. "(My wife) bakes, we have several good meals and enjoy the fellowship and that's really what it's all about."
The Hockadays' Christmas lights display have been several years in the making. They've lived in their home for 20 years. Hockaday said this year is the biggest they've ever been, with a lit tree tower in the front year, lit garland on the porch bannister and three small Christmas trees inside the home.
"We like it all," Hockaday said. "We like lots of lights. ... Ever since (my wife) Debbie and I have been married, (we've been) adding a little more each year."
This year, he estimates they have somewhere between 9,000 to 10,000 individual lights on their home off River Dare Avenue. They use energy efficient lights, too, so it only adds about $50 extra to their electric bill.
Their decorating process is usually a two-day endeavor. It starts by laying out all the lights in the garage and turning them on for a few hours to make sure none are going to burn out.
That saves a trip up a ladder, Hockaday said.
After they check and repair their lights, the process of putting them up begins.
"It's a nice family project, we just put the music on and enjoy it," Hockaday said.
A year of planning
The Hockadays save more money on their holiday celebrations by shopping for additions to their decorations after Christmas, not before or during the height of holiday shopping. They look for clearance sales and begin planning about a year in advance.
According to David Hockaday, his wife, Debbie, has already started thinking about next year.
"Debbie wants to add another tree," he said. "I do love live trees (and) we've got some really nice artificial trees and she's decided to put a tall one in the living room."
Right now, they have a lit tree tower in the front yard, a small tree on their front porch, one in their living room and one in their bedroom.
While the Hockadays shop for lights, they also bring back one aspect of Christmas they've pared down since the economy slowed: gift-giving.
The couple doesn't usually buy gifts for each other, but they do take advantage of after-Christmas sales, David Hockaday said.
"We'll go out and shop for each other right after Christmas, just picking up things as they go on clearance," he said.
Although their gifting may seem small, the Hockadays spend their time during the holidays with friends and family, a much more valuable gift, Hockaday said.
"We have a lot of neighbors that come by (and) we do get together and cook and enjoy the company of some of the nighebors," he said.

NORMAN — A fire at Alpha Gamma Delta sorority, 930 Chautauqua Ave., was called in shortly before 11 p.m. Tuesday, fire officials reported.
The AGD house is part of "sorority row," located near campus just north of Lindsey Street. Flames were clearly visible in the night sky as firefighters worked to contain the blaze.
When fire crews arrived on the scene, flames were coming from the roof, Deputy Fire Chief Jim Bailey said. Everyone was safely evacuated. No injuries had been reported as of press time.
Bailey said the fire was attacked from the inside. No outside stream of water was used. The blaze was brought under control by 11:30 p.m., but crews remained on the scene to fight hot spots.
Residents of other houses along the row and other students lined the streets. None of them had heard any chatter as to the possible cause of the blaze, though one man said the sorority had been doing construction on the roof.
Fire marshals were on the scene, but Bailey said there were no indications of the cause of the fire at press time.
"It appears most of the fire had been in the attic area," Jim Bailey said.

The Dom, Scene #04
The Dom, Scene #04
Hot House Video
- 7.4/10
Scene 4 opens with Mitch Vaughn in the wet area on his knees, his hole plugged with a silver dildo. Jimmy Durano finds something for him to plug his other hole with and stuffs his fat uncut cock in Mitch's mouth. Jimmy ramrods his mouth even though Mitch is unable to take the fat monster but about halfway in his mouth. Mitch repeatedly pulls away, gagging and trying to take a breather but Jimmy is relentless. He continues to plug away at Mitch's throat before deciding he needs a hole that can really take it. He mounts Vaughn's perfectly round smooth butt and begins drilling. This hole is built to fuck and he Mitch takes it like a champ. To reward him, Jimmy pulls him up out of the pool and sucks his cock. One more round of fucking send both men blowing huge loads - Mitch's shoots straight up over his head and off camera!

Aaron Snyder
The Independent
There once was a boy who always sat in the classroom's back row.
He quietly and diligently racked up good grades, one after another, year after year.
He aced the toughest of tests, turned in even the most tedious of assignments and was never late.
He challenged himself with the tallest tasks, and the most time-consuming projects.
When the teacher asked a question, he hardly ever raised his hand, never answering until called upon. He didn't crave extra attention.
The majority of the time, his steady yet silent success went unnoticed.
One day, though, the boy snapped. He broke out of his shell like a butterfly crushing through a chrysalis.
His voice had to be heard. His personality, it had to shine.
He couldn't sit back any longer and let life pass him by.
Johnson Central, you have our full attention.
The Golden Eagles felt like they delivered a message on Friday night. Their coach had something to get off his chest after his team gave Ironton its first loss of the season in Paintsville.
"We wanted to make a statement that we play on a big level," said Johnson Central ninth-year coach Jim Matney.
"We keep having big wins and big wins everywhere but it's kind of like, oh, it's that school in the mountains," he added. "It doesn't seem like we ever get any respect. It's an absolute continuing battle over the nine years I've been here to win respect."
Johnson Central is 81-24 overall under Matney, and the Golden Eagles have been superb at home in his years.
It's a beautiful stadium, by the way, for those who haven't seen it.
Last season, J.J. Jude set the state career rushing record. Matney deemed the overall perception unaffected.
"We had the state's all-time leading rusher, and they are still doubters," he said. "People are like, well he's OK, but he's not that good because he plays at Johnson Central.
"We're very motivated by the fact that we're stereotyped. We're very motivated by the fact that no matter how well we do, our kids never seem to get any credit."
Matney jumped off his soapbox, but not before revisiting a past instance that summed up his point.
"One year (2007) we had Louisville Central 42-0 at the half, and the next year the University of Kentucky signs three of their players," Matney said. "None of our kids were ever offered."
Johnson Central, we see that hand raised.
Got any since?
‰Ashland hasn't had this dominant a five-year stretch against Boyd County since ... ever. The Tomcats hold an average winning margin of 37.2 points in the last five in the series.
‰Russell's defense has given up fewer than 10 points in three straight games. The Red Devils haven't strung four such efforts in a row since ... 2004. Mason County is next up to try to crack into double digits on the Devils.
‰Lawrence County had not won two games by fewer than six points in the same season since ... 1991. Under Billy Goldsmith, the Bulldogs beat Russell 18-15 and Mason County 20-14 in the playoffs. This season, the Down-to-the-Wire Dawgs have emerged on the smiling side of the scoreboard twice in the final seconds of action — they edged Prestonsburg, 42-41, in Week 3 and Sheldon Clark, 39-33, on Friday.
Helmet Stickers
Four stickers: Cade O'Bryan (Ashland), Jordan Young (Johnson Central), Elijah King (Fairview), Quinton Baker (Ashland), A.J. Cyrus (Lawrence County).
Every week, O'Bryan just makes plays. He gets some extra ink when scoops and scores, but he's been steady all season long. The senior defensive end is a dynamic dimension to an already good front group without him. In other words, he makes them great.
Young didn't have an especially stellar start on Friday, but his tough running paid off as it paved the way to a 176-yard, two-TD performance against Ironton.
King is making up for lost time. In just three games, the explosive Eagle has assembled a season's worth of statistics. On Friday against Grove City Christian, the senior dashed for 225 yards and two TDs to go along with a 56-yard interception return for a score.
Baker is keeping the pedal to the metal. He eclipsed the 200-yard mark for the second time in his young career and found paydirt thrice.
As for Cyrus, he led the Bulldogs back to defeat Sheldon Clark with four rushing touchdowns. He tallied 175 yards on the ground.
Three: Bryant Cathey (Russell), Chris Brewer (Fairview), Aaron Stephens (Ironton), Ricky Goble (Lawrence County).
Two: Tanner Dutey (Ironton), Zach Gound (Johnson Central), Gage Stevens (Russell), Matt Hall (Johnson Central), Blake Prince (Lawrence County).
One: Josh Gound (Johnson Central), Jason Smith (Boyd County), Aaron Elam (Ashland), Mason Rutherford (Fairview), Jimmy Preston (Johnson Central), Lance Evans (Russell).
Super Seven
1. Johnson Central (5-1)
2. Ashland (5-1)
3. Raceland (5-1)
4. Fairview (6-0)
5. Russell (4-2)
6. Lawrence County (3-4)
7. Rowan County (3-4)
NOTE: The battle for the No. 1 and No. 3 spots are extremely close to call. Too close for comfort, really. Remember, don't take these too seriously. It's just my opinion. It'll be settled on the field soon enough (Raceland-Fairview, Oct. 12; Ashland-Johnson Central, Oct. 19).

A murder case has been turned over to a jury in south-central Nebraska.
The jury began deliberating Monday afternoon and is expected to resume its work Tuesday at Hall County District Court in Grand Island.
The jurors are reviewing the testimony in the first-degree murder trial of 35-year-old Arkanjelo Kot, of Grand Island. Kot is charged with fatally shooting Walid Omar-Aden on July 14, 2010, at a Grand Island convenience store.
Prosecutors say Kot shot the 17-year-old Omar-Aden in a deliberate manner after they argued outside the store. Kot's attorney, Clarence Mock, says Kot had been afraid for his life since being targeted in a 2009 shooting that killed another man. Mock says Kot didn't intend to kill Omar-Aden.

Joan Nolfe
Niagara Gazette
Joan Nolfe died on Monday, December 31, 2012 at St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Youngstown, OH. Joan was born in Niagara Falls, NY on October 9, 1950. She was the daughter of the late Dr. Charles P. Nolfe and Mrs. Joan C. (Russell) Nolfe. She was the sister of Ann C. Nolfe and the cousin of Mrs. Mary Byington.
"Joannie" was a graduate of St. Joseph's School, Madonna High School and Niagara County Community College. For several years, Joannie made her home in Hollywood, FL. While in Florida, Joannie worked for Hollywood Federal Savings and Loan and for Summit Electronics of Florida, Inc. In 1995, Joannie graduated from Niagara University with a Bachelor of Social Work degree. She was most proud of her work with the disabled veterans at the C.O.P.I.N. House on Buffalo Avenue. During the course of Joannie's life, and even from a young age, Joannie suffered from a number of disabilities and illnesses. She was very courageous, especially in the last four months which involved horrible suffering. She had a strong desire to live. Joannie was known for her beautiful red hair and her bright smile. She had a ready wit and a keen sense of humor. She was fiercely independent and was known for her candor. Joannie was a free spirit and had something of the poet in her soul. She had a great deal of empathy for others and was a loyal friend.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Last Thursday, I went to the weekly meeting of Norman Rotary Club with Andy Rieger, the executive editor of the Norman Transcript. He introduced me and Rotarians responded with a waving hands and lovely applause. Just moments after I sat down, the lady sitting beside me asked the distance between the collapsed building of garment factories in Savar, Dhaka and my home.
In fact, we are facing such sympathetic questions almost everywhere here in Norman, Oklahoma. The CNN news scrolled across the digital screen on Gaylord Hall at the University of Oklahoma. We have been noticing 'Bangladesh' here everyday. And we are answering as much as we know. Beyond that we have little to do, standing thousands of miles away, but weep silently for the tragic demise of hundreds of lives. What could we meaningfully do even if we were there?
We saw the lack of proper equipment to rescue people from the hall turned hell. It's true that hundreds of people tried their best to help the trapped and injured. But those acts of big heart are really small in the scale of the catastrophe. So the grief of fallen lives and failed capacity lies over the nation. Reactions on social or mainstream media are saddening. One is the concern about our garment buyers based in Europe and America especially. The second target is the garment owners.
It is absolute that if the garment factory owners don't improve the wage structure and working environment, instability in production channels and lives risked on thousands of our cheap labor force will prevail. As a result we may have to face more and bigger tragic incidents in the future. And eventually we will lose our garment market abroad, the second remittance earner sector. The thousands of youths, especially females from lower income groups or rural areas, many of whom got the "freedom of choice" due to cash in hand, who are trying to stand on their own feet and ignore some social discriminations, will lose their jobs.
The question is — is it just an issue of remittance or job market or women's emancipation? Are the garment factory owners the only culprits responsible for our mourning? We have to think beyond emotional and economic concerns.
Firstly, I think, safety of the citizens is the real concern whether it is a garment factory or the secretariat. So we have to ensure the safety of the homes and workplaces. Not only the Rana Plaza, hundreds of buildings have been built and improvised without proper design and safety measures. Many of our roofs are at optimum tenure, especially in Old Dhaka. We have to identify and restructure those buildings immediately. And proper rescue equipment has become most essential. We should not forget that Bangladesh is near an earthquake zone, let alone the accidents like Rana Plaza.
Secondly, witch hunting for garments owners exclusively will not help to ensure a safe and secure garment industry. The collapsed Rana Plaza of Savar has shown how the nexus of politicians, land grabbers and city development officials built a tower of death. Well, garment owners should have been careful while renting the floors for factories, but isn't it the city authority's task as well to stop the illegal building work going on? Isn't it really the building owner who put hundreds of lives, millions in investments, foreign markets and our hearts and honor at stake? If we just blame the garment factory owner, the real culprits will be smiling, sitting in a safe corner.

PLATTSBURGH — The Saratoga Junior Stampede broke a 2-all tie with a run in the sixth and added another in the seventh for a 4-2 victory over the Clinton County Junior Mariners on Saturday at Lefty Wilson Field.
The second game of the doubleheader was rained out.
Codie Brown struck out four and allowed three hits in going the distance for the pitching win. Brandon Buksa and Gerrit Rietsema combined to surrender five hits on the mound for the Mariners (9-2).
Shawn Courson and Blake Altizer rapped RBI singles in the bottom of the fourth inning to pull Clinton County into a 2-all tie.
"We had a 20-minute rain delay in the fifth inning," said Mariners assistant coach Bill Hunt. "When we started up again, the field was sloppy and they were able to play some small ball."
Courson, Altizer and Buksa accounted for the lone hits for Clinton County.
"We lacked a little intensity for whatever reason (Saturday)," said Hunt. "Maybe the weather had something to do with it, but our bats were quiet.
"We weren't able to get hits early in innings and, defensively, we made some key errors that cost us."
The Mariners will look to get back on the winning trail when they host the Colchester Junior Cannons at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday at South Acres Field.

Pros – Friendly workplace with a diverse culture. Great location, very close to O'Hare. Casual Fridays.
Cons – Low,pay,average benefits, lack of leadership. Comunication is nonexistent from executive management. Lack of leadership in majority of Director roles. Consistent layoffs.
Advice to Senior Management – Appreciate your workforce.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
Pros – Great place to jump in and get medical experience but probably not a place to make your career home or stay longer than 2 years.
Cons – LifeWatch struggles with internal customer service issues, device problems and reporting issues. While this is common in the industry as a whole, LifeWatch seems to have a higher error rate. Training is limited, so this is an ideal setting for those associates that can find answers and reach out for assistance with minimal direction...just pick up the phone and ask! This will be a pivotal year for any company in the cardiac monitoring industry, given the drastic swings in reimbursement.
Advice to Senior Management – Payor contracts must be favorable for the sales team to succeed. Without Payors paying for services, how can the sales team be deeply penalized? The economy today allows for only a limited few to pay for services in cash.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

August 2, 2014
In this week's edition of the Mid-Ohio Valley's Most Wanted, we have for you a Waverly man wanted for allegedly defacing property at local campground.
The Washington County Sheriff's Office is looking for 26-year old Darin Bryan.
In July of this year, an official with the sheriff's office discovered graffiti on a picnic table and the restroom walls at Hune Bridge Campground.
The scribbling included vulgar comments and the phone number of his ex-girlfriend.
Officials say Bryan later admitted to defacing the property, which is owned by Wayne National Forest, a government entity.
If you have any information on where Bryan could be, you're asked to call the Washington County Sheriff's Office at 740-376-7070, extension zero.
You can catch the next edition of the Mid-Ohio Valley's Most Wanted next Wednesday on WTAP News at 6.
