Holer came to Canada in the 1950's. He arrived in the Niagara region on the promise of a job at a winery but it never materialized. Unable to speak English Holer worked various jobs including welder, hospital orderly and as a machinist at the Port Weller Dry Docks. One day a submarine came into the Dry Docks and he was fascinated by it. He developed a prototype of an amusement park ride based on submarines and shopped it around to the owners of local parks like Crystal Beach & Roseland Park. Both rejected it but they referred him to a company in New Jersey who bought the idea. According to Holer the company turned around and sold the concept to none other than Walt Disney who turned it into the Jules Verne Submarine ride at Disneyland.
In 1966 John Holer began the first major expansion of Marine Wonderland by building the aquarium dome featuring a stage with an indoor pool and stadium seating. Changing the name to Marineland & Game Farm Holer added dolphins to the show.
By the early 70's he had purchased his first Killer Whale - Kandu as well as adding more animals such as sea lions, alligators, seals, tigers, bears, lions, bison and elephants. This required the second major expansion which included the outdoor stadium complex built in 1976 to house Kandu and other orcas he began importing. Adding gift shops and food stands along the way Holer aggressively continued to acquire more land to expand the park.
In 1983 Holer continued to purchase land under dubious circumstances. He used then Niagara Falls Mayor and current city councillor Wayne Thomson's wife as a front to purchase land from a seller who would not sell to him specifically. The deal was brokered by future Mayor - Ted Salci.
Also in 1983 the Ontario Ministry of the Environment laid charges against Holer and Marineland for running an illegal toxic waste dump. Marineland pleaded guilty to 44 charges under the environmental protection act and was fined $15,000.
Rounding out 1983 John Holer and several acquaintances were arrested, jailed and fined $1,000 in New York State for illegally hunting deer at night. A judge who prematurely released Holer and his friends from jail was later admonished by the State Supreme Court for his actions.
After a 1984 tax assessment hiked Marineland's tax rate Holer accused the government of "trying to destroy his dream" and released several media statements declaring there would be no further expansion. He also threatened to move Marineland to the United States which was largely seen as a red herring as his taxes were more likely to double there. Eventually the provincial government introduced legislation to give Marineland a break on the hike.
The breaks for John Holer and Marineland continued in 1985 as the city of Niagara Falls decided to charge Marineland a fraction of its regular garbage collection rates.
In 1992 John Holer was charged by the Lincoln County Humane Society with animal cruelty for failing to provide suitable and adequate care for a newborn deer. The judge later dismissed this charged based on the technicality that Marineland Inc. should have been charged instead of its hands on owner, John Holer.
In 1996 Holer was charged with careless driving after allegedly striking a protester with his truck as she leafleted outside Marineland. The protester was transported to a hospital by ambulance with injuries described by police as "very minor." Holer was acquitted of the careless driving charge in July 1997.
In 1999 the 65 year old brother of John Holer, Stanislav Holer was charged with sexually assaulting a 16 year old female Marineland employee.
Also in 1999 John Holer applied to the federal government for a permit to capture wild Beluga whales outside of the town of Churchill Manitoba. Town residents came out against the plan and Holer was denied permission.
In 2000 Marineland was ordered by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment to stop discharging untreated wastewater into a local creek.
In 2004 John Holer and Marineland launched their first Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation (SLAPP) against Dan Wilson and Niagara Action for Animals. The suit was later dropped.
In 2009 John Holer & Marineland served eviction notices to 47 families of the Green Oaks trailer park. Holer had purchased the land 5 years earlier and claimed he wanted to build maintenance facilities on the land previously giving no indication of his intentions and allowing new residents to buy homes there. Facing total loss of their homes and equity residents appealed to the city and the Landlord & Tenant Board. Holer drove through the park on a daily basis harassing the tenants. Former business partner of Holer and then Mayor of Niagara Falls Ted Salci refused to invoke an existing city bylaw to help the residents and despite evidence to in their favour the L&T Board ruled against them. On the day of eviction in 2011 long time resident Paula Millard committed suicide in her home. To this day the small 6 acre area remains empty and unused.
In 2010 SeaWorld served Holer notice that they were terminating a longstanding breeding agreement between the two parks because they were concerned for the well being of their orca Ikaika if it remained at Marineland. Holer and Marineland refused to hand over the killer whale and was taken to court by SeaWorld eventually losing the case and appeal.
In 2012 John Holer was videotaped threatening to run over a protester with his truck and threatening to "cut his head off". No charges were ever laid.
Also in 2012 John Holer & Marineland approached the city of Niagara Falls to lease the public land at the entrance to the park that has been used by protesters. Holer claimed he wanted the land for beautification purposes. The city rubber stamped the deal and to this day the land remains unchanged.
2012 Marineland was the subject of an extensive investigation by the Toronto Star exposing animal abuse and neglect at the park. Inspections and orders from various regulatory agencies were initiated and there was widespread public condemnation and the biggest protests in the park's history.
In late 2012 the Ontario Ministry of the Environment discovered Marineland was burying thousands of dead animals illegally on the property and ordered them to stop.
In 2013 Marineland began launching SLAPP lawsuits against virtually anyone who opposed them. By mid 2013 they had multi-million dollar lawsuits against 3 former employees, 2 activists and the Toronto Star newspaper.
In 2013 Marineland began construction of a massive perimeter fence around the property.
Also in 2013 John Holer & Marineland for the first time hired an outside Public Relations specialist to deal with the fallout of the last year's enormously bad press.
In 2013 Holer was videotaped threatening another protester outside the park. He threatened to "stab and bury" the individual handing out leaflets. Police investigated and despite the threat being captured on video no charges were laid.
Also in 2013 Marineland began directing traffic out a long time entrance way instead of the park's normal exit to ensure their customers avoid contact with protesters handing out leaflets. This resulted in traffic chaos and near accidents. Marineland would eventually install a traffic light at the intersection at their own cost.
2013 Marineland's lawyers went before Niagara Falls City Council and lied about the actions of protesters in order to obtain a second land lease from the city. This gave Marineland two more sections of public property in order to block protesters and silence opposition.
2013 Marineland issued permit by the Ontario Ministry of Environment to resume burying dead animals on the property.
John Holer has been directly responsible for taking hundreds of animals from the wild who have died at Marineland with significantly shortened lifespans. He built his business based around the exploitation of animals and despite the change in public attitudes around this refuses to transform Marineland into anything but an abusement park. He treats animals poorly and people even worse. He outright breaks or skirts laws and uses Canada's lack of regulations and oversight of captive animals to his advantage. He has never expressed the desire to work with animal advocacy groups to better the conditions at Marineland and has been at all out war with them for years.

The Birds in the Air quilt block is a common unit found within many, many other patchwork designs.
If you are making just a few blocks, traditional piecing methods are adequate. For larger quantities I prefer paper piecing for two reasons:
On this page you'll find free downloadable paper piecing patterns and cutting instructions in 4 sizes and a step-by-step tutorial for making a Birds in the Air.
Hate paper piecing? Click here for traditional piecing directions for a Birds in the Air quilt block pattern.
Examples of designs that include this as a unit in their construction are:
Goose and Goslings
Monkey Wrench
Joseph's Coat
Block Size: 2-1/2"(3" unfinished)
Grid size: 1-1/4"
Machine Set-Up: Set your stitch length to 15-18 stitches per inch to help perforate the paper. Install an open toe applique foot if you have one for an unobstructed view of the stitching line. Insert a 90/14 needle IF you have trouble removing the paper.
I use starch in all my piecing—paper piecing, too! With it, I find that finger pressing is almost always good enough between patches, especially when they are small, reducing the number of times I need to go to the iron. To learn more about starching your quilt fabric, click here.
If you use an iron at each step, when you see the instruction 'Press', first press the unit in the closed position. This melds the stitches with the fabric. Then press the patch open. (Otherwise, just finger press the patch open.)
I do not use steam for paper piecing, but that choice is up to you. In my experience, steam has a tendency to 'curl' the pattern...which is terribly annoying.
For unbelievably flat Birds in the Air quilt blocks, use the Best Technique for Pressing Quilt Blocks, it works just as well for foundation piecing as it does for traditional. I think you'll like it!

Optional Downloads:
In this rendition of the Birds in the Air quilt block, I'm choosing to reverse the light and dark patches, because ultimately, fabric placement is the quilter's choice!
For our 2-1/2" finished block cut the patches highlighted in yellow below.
All of the dimensions below are for squares, i.e. for Patch #5, for a 3" finished block cut one 4-3/8" x 4-3/8" square. Sub cut it once on the diagonal.
|Finished Block Size
|Patch #
|Sub Cut
|2, 3, 4
|Grid Size
These are the cut patches. You will use three of the black and white triangles, and one each of the large and small blue ones. The rest are extras.
Cut a single block from the page you downloaded. There's no need to be exact, just cut outside the dotted line that marks the unfinished edge of each block. You will trim to size in the last step.
With a just a dab of Elmer's Glue Stick—the one that goes on purple and dries clear—position the back side of #1 on the unprinted side of your paper pattern so that the edges of the patch touch the dashed placement lines.
With RST, align and center the long bias edge of #2 over #1 like this...
...and stitch, starting before the line between #1 and #2 begins and after it ends by approximately 1/4" (as indicated by the red arrows).
Press. (Because I starched my fabric ahead of time, I was able to fingerpress these patches open.)
With RST, align the short side of #3 with #1 and stitch as before, both starting and stopping about a quarter inch before and after the solid stitching line.
Press. Add #4 in the same manner.
After stitching, now trim any dog ears and thread tails in the center of the block. (Trimming the block to size at the end will take care of the rest of the thread tails!)
Press. (Here I did press with my iron. I wanted the unit nice and flat before trimming.)
At this point we create a placement line for Patch #5.
Match the edge of your rotary ruler to the solid stitching line.
Crease the paper with your finger and fold the pattern back on this creased line. (You'll need to gently tug to pull the paper away from the stitches.)
Now align the 1/4" mark of your ruler with the fold and cut along the edge of the ruler with your rotary cutter. You've just created a 1/4" seam allowance.
With RST, align the long bias edge of #5 with the long side of the sewn patches.
Stitch, again starting and stopping before and after the line by a generous quarter inch.
Press. This is the stitched block.
Up 'til now, we haven't bothered to clean up the thread tails along the outside of the block. When the block is trimmed to size, it will be done automatically. There's no need to make extra work for ourselves.
Trim the block to size by placing the 1/4" line of your ruler on the solid outside line. Trim.
Repeat for the remaining three sides.

The Swapper has been one of the many wonderful games funded by the Indie Fund. Set up by people such as Jonathan Blow (Braid) and Kellee Santiago (Journey, Flower) give mentoring and funding for indie devs hoping to make a game. The Indie Fund doesn't just work as a hand out, the developers have to pay back the funds they use with sales, but after they reach their original financing, they keep all the subsequent profits.
The Swapper was their latest successful endeavour with a lot of amazing game press coverage and a Metacritic score of 87, a worthy title in the already dangerously full indie arena. The latest post from Indie Fund confirms the success coming in only two days and how impressed the Indie Fund is at The Swapper's "extremely positive reviews".
The Indie Fund developers do note that people would write stories like this showing off the achievements of recouping funds in X amount of hours or days, but that it's "not really [their] main goal" and like many creatives, " not how [they] measure [their] success". They restate that their goal is "to help developers get and stay independent" and are incredibly proud if a developer can repay their investment and gains "enough on top of that to fund the team's next project" . Also, they want developers not have to succumb to different publishers or non-descript contracts which could hinder their creativity.
You can currently purchase the game on Steam

Causes, Tuberculosis, Cancer of the Adrenal Glands, Autoimmune Disease
Symptoms, Muscle Weakness, Fatigue, Weight Loss, Low Blood Pressure, Low Blood Sugar (Hypoglycemia), Loss of Appitite
Treatment, Taking oral Corticosteroid Supplements
Diagnostics, ACTH Stimulation Test: Determines if the body can produce cortisol when prompted to by ACTH. A small dose of ACTH is injected into a patients bloodstream, and hours later blood cortisol levels are measured to detect a rise in cortisol levels., CRH Stimulation Test: CRH is a hormone that stimulates the pituitary gland to release ACTH, which causes the levels of cortisol to rise. Blood cortisol is measured before CRH injection, and samples of blood are taken 60, 120, and 180 minutes following the CRH injection. if ACTH levels rise after injection with no subsequent rise of Cortisol, the patient likely has Addison's disease., MRI, MRI IMAGE
Causes, Taking oral Corticosteroids (Ex. Prednisone) to treat lupus or Rheumatoid Arthritis., Tumor on pituitary gland causes it to release too much ACTH, driving more production of Cortisol by the Adrenal Glands.
Symptoms, Fat Deposits around Abdomen/Upper Back., Thinner Skin, Cuts Take a long time to heal, Erectile Dysfunction, Symptoms
Treatment, Lower Dosages of Corticosteroid Supplementation, Surgical Procedure to remove the tumor on the pituitary gland., After Surgery, a cortisol replacement supplement is taken until the body produces it in normal concentrations again., After surgery, radiation treatment is applied to prevent the tumor from reappearing.
Diagnostics, 24-Hour Urinary Cortisol Measurement, Dexamethasone Suppression Test: Dexamethasone is a steroid substance that gives the anterior pituitary gland negative feedback, suppressing the release of ACTH hormone, which is known to stimulate the synthesis and release of Cortisol. The patient takes a Dexamethasone supplement and then later has a blood sample taken to measure cortisol levels and analyze how the drug affects cortisol levels., CRH Stimulation Test: CRH is a hormone that stimulates the pituitary gland to release ACTH, which causes the levels of cortisol to rise. Blood cortisol is measured before CRH injection, and samples of blood are taken 60, 120, and 180 minutes following the CRH injection. If ACTH levels are increased significantly after injection, a pituitary tumor causing Cushing's Syndrome is suspected., MRI: A visual scan of the adrenal glands and the head to detect any tumors that can be the cause of increased Cortisol or ACTH levels., Petrosal Sinus Sampling: Procedure involving drawing blood samples from the petrosal sinus and the arm simultaneously after CRH is introduced into the patient. If much higher ACTH levels are measured in the petrosal sinus areas than the blood samples taken from the patient's arm, than a pituitary gland tumor is likely the cause of Cushings disease.
Mineralocorticoids, Aldosterone, Function: Acts on Nephrons in the kidneys to increase water and Sodium Ion Reabsorption into the bloodstream, helping maintain body fluid levels. Increases Blood Volume and Pressure. Stimulates the excretion of Potassium., Regulation of Release, Renin-Angiotensin System: The release if the hormone renin by the kidneys when blood volume is low results in the production of angiotensin ll, which helps drive Aldosterone production., ACTH Levels: ACTH, a hormone produced by the pituatary gland, can stimulate the production of aldosterone., Potassium Concentration in Blood Plasma, Signal Transduction Mechanism: Aldosterone attaches to a mineralocorticoid receptor in the cell of the distal convoluted tubule. The activated Mineralocorticoid receptor moves to the nucleus where it facilitates the transcription of proteins that aid in sodium and water reabsorption., Target Cells: The Distal Convoluted Cells and The Collecting Duct Cells of the Kidney's nephron., Distal Convoluted Tubules Shown
Glucocorticoids, Cortisol, Function: Stimulates the conversion of amino acids to glucose by the liver in a process called gluconeogenesis. It restrains the immune system, decreases bone formation, and helps facilitate the bodies' metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Raises blood Pressure, Regulation of Release, ACTH, a pituitary hormone, stimulates the production of Cortisol by the adrenal cortex. ACTH is released in response to stressfull situations as perceived by the brain., Diurnal Variation: Levels of cortisol increase depending on the amount of light taken in by the retinas. Levels are higher in the mornings than at night., Signal Transduction Mechanism: Cortisol is a fat-soluble steroid hormone that enters the cytosol of its target cells through the phospholipid bilayer membrane and binds to a Glucocorticoid receptor that controls gene transcription., Mechanism of Action, Target Cells: Liver Cells, Fat Cells, all cells that have glucocorticoid receptors.
Catecholamines, Epinephrine, Function: Epinephrine (commonly referred to as adrenaline), contracts the blood vessels, dilates air passageways, dilates the iris, increases blood glucose levels, and increases blood pressure. It stimulates glycogenolysis and is part of a mechanism that inhibits the hormone insulin., Regulation of Release: Epinephrine is released in response to cases of extreme stress where the body switches to "fight or flight" survival mode. ACTH is also known to increase epinephrine levels., Signal Transduction Mechanism: Epinephrine binds to an andregenic receptor on a cell after being released in a stressful situation. Once coupled with the receptor, the cell initiates a sympathetic response, directing its processes into immediate energy production., Target Cells: Nearly All Body Tissues, Epinephrine, Norepinephrine, Function: Norepinephrine is a hormone that increases the heart rate, helps deliver more oxygen to the brain, and facilitates the conversion of complex energy stores into simpler, more functional chemical energy stores., Regulation of Release: Released in response to extreme stress and is also stimulated partly by ACTH., Signal Transduction Mechanism: Norepinephrine binds to an andregenic receptor on a cell after being released in a stressful situation. Once coupled with the receptor, the cell initiates a sympathetic response, directing its processes into immediate energy production., Target Cells: Nearly All Tissue cells in the body., Norepinephrine

Despite missing their top hitter for the majority of the season, the Cincinnati Reds hung around in the competitive NL Central race until their August swoon diminished their playoff chances.
Though Cincinnati's postseason hopes are dwindling, the Baltimore Orioles appear to be headed toward their first division title in 17 years.
The Reds look to win back-to-back road games for the first time in a month as they open a three-game set with AL East-leading Baltimore on Tuesday night.
Joey Votto, owed more than $200 million through 2023, has played in only 62 games and has been out with a quad injury since July 6.
His rehab has been slowed after still feeling discomfort, and it's unclear when he'll be able to return. Despite his absence, the Reds (66-71) were three games over .500 on Aug. 7 and sat four games out of the Central lead.
Cincinnati, which also announced Monday that starting pitcher Homer Bailey has been transfered to the 60-day disabled list due to a right elbow injury suffered in mid-August, has gone 7-15 since that point, though.
It now sits eight games behind first-place St. Louis but avoided a three-game sweep at the hands of Pittsburgh with Sunday's 3-2 victory, as Chris Heisey hit a two-run homer in the fifth and a solo shot in the ninth.
''It feels good to help the team get a W,'' Heisey said. ''We needed one."
Heisey entered that contest hitting .223 in limited action this season.
''I don't think he's accomplished what he set out to do this year," manager Bryan Price said.
Neither have the rest of the Reds, who send Mat Latos to the mound in this contest.
Latos (5-3, 3.15 ERA) went 3-0 with a 2.95 ERA in six August starts, allowing four runs and striking out a season-best 10 while pitching into the eighth inning of Wednesday's 7-5 win over the Chicago Cubs.
The right-hander started off shaky but settled down through the middle innings.
''That was definitely something we needed,'' Price said. ''He really turned the corner and made some outstanding pitches."
Latos has never faced the Orioles (79-57), who had their four-game winning streak snapped with Monday's 6-4 loss to Minnesota.
Baltimore still holds the largest division lead in the majors at 8 1/2 games over the New York Yankees as it tries to win its first AL East title since 1997.
Nelson Cruz homered Monday and has a baseball-best 36, while Nick Hundley added a three-run shot.
Steve Pearce sat out a third straight game because of an abdominal strain, and J.J. Hardy left in the seventh with back spasms. Both hope to play in this contest.
''I sure hope I'll be in there (Tuesday),'' Hardy said. ''I think getting out of there was probably the right decision.''
Bud Norris takes the hill against the Reds looking to get back on track.
Norris (11-8, 4.00) went 3-0 with a 2.59 ERA over his previous four starts before struggling in his last two. He gave up four runs in two innings before a long rain delay in a 7-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Aug. 23 before battling through six innings and allowing four runs in Baltimore's 5-4 win over Tampa Bay on Thursday.
The right-hander's ERA is the worst it's been since it reached 4.41 on June 4.
Norris has had some tough outings against the Reds as well, going 0-3 with a 5.11 ERA in seven starts - none since 2012.

Thank you for the

Thank you for the identification. On closer inspection I thought it was a "shield bug" but I'm more used to seeing the green variety. At one point there were a number covering the beans, but within a week most had disappeared and they did no damage to the crop.

Down one point with about 23 seconds to play, Sonny Weems, currently of Zalgiris Kaunas and formerly of the Toronto Raptors, decided to take matters into his own hands. Sonny was asked to inbound the ball on the deciding play, but he made sure he got it right back. He then ran the clock down to about seven seconds, elected not to use a screen set by one of his teammates, and drove hard to his left. He easily left a helpless defender in his wake and finished with a two-handed crush over another guy. Via the InsideHoops forums…
Nice dunk, but the craziest thing about this play? It's got to be Sonny's explosive speed. Notice that he starts his move with precisely seven seconds to go, and that 4.8 of those seconds are still on the clock as he's dunking the ball through the hoop. In about two seconds, Sonny took the ball from within a few feet of half court and smashed it on someone. I have no idea how long it takes an average player to cover that kind of distance, but two seconds seems really impressive, and Sonny looked like he was using jet propulsion on the play.
I'm not sure how many points Sonny scored in the game because I've been unable to find a box score. It wasn't a Euroleague game, and I'm having trouble navigating Zalgiris's website because it's not published in English. I can tell you that he's played pretty well in Lithuania, especially compared to former teammate Ty Lawson. He's one of Euroleague's top scorers, and this wasn't even his first game-winning dunk.

By JOHN BOSCHINI
When Boston College was announced as the fourth seed in this year's NCAA Tournament, more than a few people raised their eyebrows in surprise. On Sunday, the rest of the college soccer world found out why.
The Eagles were shocked at home by unseeded Rutgers with a penalty kick shootout loss, dumping Boston College out in their first game of the tournament. Regulation ended knotted at 1-1 with Ibrahim Kamara scoring in the 87th minute for the dramatic equalizer, canceling out Patrick Chin's well-taken headed goal just after halftime. Kevin McMullen came up big for Rutgers in the penalty shootout, saving two spot kicks with Steve Rose failing to convert the final penalty. Rutgers moves into the third round for the first time in a decade.
Top-seeded North Carolina were less than convincing in their opening round of the tournament but survived with a 3-2 victory over Coastal Carolina. The visitors took the lead twice with goals from Ashton Bennett and Teejay East but the Tar Heels equalized with goals from Ben Speas and Kirk Urso. Enzo Martinez, who famously rescued North Carolina in last year's NCAA tournament, once again was the hero with the free-kick winner in the 69th minute.
Akron is still alive in its pursuit to repeat as champions with a 3-2 upset of No. 6 SMU. Darren Mattocks scored twice and Luke Holmes added a third as the Zips jumped out to a 3-0 lead. The Mustangs made a late charge with goals from Tyler Engel and Arthur Ivo in the final 10 minutes but it wasn't enough to complete the comeback.
Here is a look back at the rest of the results from the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
St. Mary's continued their upset run through California with a 2-1 upset of No. 8 UC Irvine in a double-overtime thriller. Justin Howard headed home a golden goal in the 103rd minute to book The Gaels into the sweet sixteen. Riley Hanley put the visitors up early in the second half with a goal from a corner but Miguel Ibarra scrambled home a goal seven minutes from time.
No. 16 Indiana 3, Old Dominion 0: The Hoosiers are through to face North Carolina thanks to a comfortable victory over Old Dominion. Nikita Kotlov bagged a double while Tim Wylie added a goal of his own. Goalkeeper Luis Soffner made two saves in the shutout.
Brown 1, No. 9 St. John's 0: Dylan Remick scored just after halftime and the Ivy League champions were resolute in defense against the Red Storm. Brown advances into the Sweet Sixteen for the second-consecutive year.
No. 5 Maryland 4, West Virginia 0: With Boston College eliminated, Maryland are now the top seeds in their quarter of the bracket and the Terrapins made an emphatic statement against West Virginia. Senior Casey Townsend tallied a hat trick and and Jordan Cyrus scored from the near post to cap off the rout for Maryland
No. 12 Louisville 3, Bradley 2: After a final four minutes that saw Colin Rolfe equalize and Kenney Walker take the lead for the Cardinals. Bryan Gaul equalized with 26 second left and Nick DeLeon came up with a golden goal for Louisville in the 107th minute.
No. 3 UCONN 2, Monmouth 1: Mamadou Diouf scored twice to give the Huskies a comeback victory over Monmouth. Matt Jeffery scored for the visitors early.
No. 14 James Madison 2, Wake Forest 0: Jimmy Simpson and Ibikunle Tolani scored in the first half to give James Madison a comfortable victory over the ACC visitors.
Charlotte 3, No. 11 UAB: Goals from Evan James, Jennings Rex and T.J. Beaulieu gave Charlotte a comfortable victory. Chase Wickham's goal in the second-half proved to be little more than a consolation
No. 7 USF 2, UCF 1 (OT): Wesley Charpie's headed goal in the first overtime gave USF a victory over their in-state rivals. Chris Blais came up huge for the Bulls, making five saves.
No. 10 New Mexico 2, Duke 1 (OT): Blake Smith canceled out Nick Palodichuck's opener and Carson Baldinger's golden goal kept the Lobos perfect season alive.
No. 15 UC Santa-Barbara 3, Providence 2: Luis Silva, Josue Madueno and Dom Sarle scored in an uneasy win for UCSB. Brandon Adler and Anthony Baumann scored for the Friars but Providence couldn't complete the comeback.
No. 2 Creighton 3, Northern Illinois 0: Ethan Finley scored twice and Jose Gomez provided a goal in a comfortable Blue Jays win.
What did you think of the second-round results? Impressed with Maryland? Surprised Boston College is gone so early? Still betting on Carolina despite the difficulty getting by Coastal Carolina?

Go Ibrahim. Do your thing.
That Louisville goal to win it was a nice header on a great ball into the box. Saw it on Youtube this morning.

Not sure why everyone in the media is sleeping on IU. Loaded with some future MLS talent, hungry seniors, and freshman and sophomores who are proven winners.
Don't be surprised when Elite 8 soccer is occurring in the mecca of college soccer.
Harkes is out at ESPN, Twellman is in. Let the celebratory commenting commence.
No celebrations from this guy. I've always enjoyed Harkes' commentary. It's certainly much better than hearing Taylor Twellman whining incessantly (yes, Harkes whined a bit too, but I've generally agreed with him).
Harkes is/was bad but Twellman is even worse!!
Black Tide
I think you are confused. The mecca of college soccer is UCSB.
As an ex-UD player, I'm proud of my HENS!
I've got seven reasons to think otherwise.
Such a disgrace that a team like BC gets a 4 seed while New Mexico who was #1 in three polls and had the #6 RPI gets a 10 seed.
Agreed with Harkes about what? I've listened to him for years, and I'm not sure he took a side on anything. Everything was qualified, or just incomprehensible.
Twellman is unlistenable. I want to stick knives in my ears everytime he says someone HAS to do this or that and it HAS to be better. Dude your not a coach you are an announcer. Hated him as a player but really hate him as an announcer.
Turd Bradley
indiana sucks
Nuts, right?
I'm curious as to why there is no mention of the UD – UCLA match???? It was also overlooked(not written about) on another soccer website that writes specifically about college soccer. Whats the deal????
IU has a great squad this year… but they just aren't UNC, especially not on the road. UNC has been out-of-its-mind good since losing to Davidson a month ago, and you gotta believe the near-loss is going to galvanize them again.
By all means, I hope IU wins though.
You are all confused, Akron is the mecca of college soccer now. Duh.
Agree completely. NMex not getting what they deserve.
If Akron has to play away v Charlotte, that will be a disgrace also. But what doesnt kill you makes you stronger. GO ZIPS
Really looking forward to watching the Cards battle the Terps!

There are many incorrect seeds and rankings. The following teams are ranked much higher than they deserve. Especially teams like Boston College, Connecticut, St. Johns, Duke etc. They may be top 20 but not top ten teams. Then when the seeding comes there has to be a distibution of seeding throughout the various regions which unfortunately causes some of the better teams to not even get seeded.
John A
The best teams in the country right now and consistently top ten each year are Akron, North Carolina, Maryland, Indiana, Creighton, New Mexico, and UCSB. Unforthunately, not all of these teams will have the opportunity to be in the final. It is a shame that teams like N. Carolina and Indiana will have to face each other in the next round when both of these teams can are better than 95% of the teams left in the tournament.

Does BRAND'S® Bird's Nest contain real bird's nest? Where does the nest come from?
Yes, we use genuine bird's nests that are harvested from Malaysia.
Does the consumption of bird's nest aggravate or help people with asthma problems?
Our products are health supplements and contain all-natural ingredients. They also serve as preventive and health-maintenance measures, and not as a cure for any ailment. As each of us comes with our own unique constitution and dietary needs, please consult your doctor if you have questions about asthma.
How does BRAND'S® Bird's Nest enhance your youthful skin?
According to Chinese traditions, the "cooling" effect of bird's nest prevents internal dryness and thus helps to maintain youthful skin as well as a smooth and wrinkle-free complexion.
How does BRAND'S® Bird's Nest protect your health?
It helps stimulate appetite and aids digestion. It also provides a unique pre-digested form of protein and polysaccharides, which the Chinese believe to have excellent health benefits.
What is a stabiliser? And what is its source?
Its purpose is to refine the fluid density of a product. BRAND'S® Bird's Nest uses a natural form of seaweed as its stabiliser.
What is Bird's Nest or BRAND'S® Bird's Nest?
Bird's nest is the nest made of the Swiftlets' saliva, which dwell in caves, along cliffs or commercially man-made structures. Bird's nest is widely consumed in the Orient, as it is traditionally believed to be able to cleanse the blood and purify the respiratory organs. Regular consumption also ensures good health, wards off influenza and the common cold. BRAND'S® Bird's Nest is a unique, high quality product manufactured by the latest technology under highly hygienic processing conditions.
What is the gelatine-like substance found in BRAND'S® Bird's Nest?
This is due to the use of rock sugar in our manufacturing process to enhance the flavour of our bird's nests.
Why doesn't BRAND'S® Bird's Nest taste like home-cooked bird's nest?
Home-cooked bird's nest may vary in terms of preparation and recipe, which leads to inconsistencies in quality. However, BRAND'S® Bird's Nest is produced under standardised manufacturing processes with controlled formulation to ensure a consistent taste and quality. That's why the taste of BRAND'S® Bird's Nest might be different from home-cooked bird's nests.

Careful treatment and care for a car is important, as a car's paint job can chip or scratch fairly easily. Some chips or scratches are small or don't run deep, while others are larger or can really cut through and expose several layers of the car. Depending on the type of chip or scratch, the car's paint job can be repaired by utilizing varying methods.
Some very minor scratches to the paint job can occur through everyday and simple occurrences, but these can often be buffed out with little effort and no expense. Other paint chips require further attention, however. A medium scratch or chip is one you can feel with your finger or nail, but also one that does not make its way all the way through to the primer. These can occur in a variety of situations, anything from small stones being kicked up from the road or dropped from a trunk driving in front of the car, or hitting a pole or receiving a bump from a wayward shopping cart in a mall parking lot. To repair such nicks, just fill the nick with paint, buff around the affected area and make sure to round down the edges (use a medium rubbing compound), and then thoroughly make sure that a fitting polish has been achieved.
The other kind of chip or scratch that can occur is far trickier to repair and can land you in quite a bit of trouble, as it may require professional attention to resolve the issue. A deep scratch or chip can impact the car significantly, going several layers deep. It often extends through and damages beyond the color coat, on down through the primer and even sometimes through to the car's metal. These chips can occur for a variety of reasons, but generally only occur from more severe or direct collisions with obstacles. These deep scratches can only be fixed up using touch-up paint, and it's best left to a professional.
When a car owner is looking to fix chipped paint, he should keep in mind that black and white are the easiest colors to repair, because shade variations aren't as much of a concern and repair colors can be matched quite easily. Also, metallic paints can be an extra pain to match correctly, and as such, remain a more difficult fix. Avoid metallic finishes if at all possible if there is a known history of accidents or chips.

Highland Cottage, also known as Squire House, is located on South Highland Avenue (U.S. Route 9) in Ossining, New York, United States. It was the first concrete house in Westchester County,[2] built in the 1870s in the Gothic Revival architectural style. In 1982 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places;[1] almost 30 years later, it was added to the nearby Downtown Ossining Historic District as a contributing property.[4]
Built by a prominent local man with an interest in new construction techniques, it has seen several different uses over the years. It was a sanitarium in the early 20th century, then a hospital and later a restaurant. For most of that century, the Squire family ran a local business school there. Since then it has returned to residential use.
The property is on the southwest corner of the intersection of South Highland and Maple Place, across the former from Ossining High School and the latter from the brick 1870 First Presbyterian Church designed by Isaac G. Perry. The historic district boundary currently runs in the middle of the streets between those buildings, both of which are contributing properties to the district, and the cottage. To the west are other houses; an apartment building is to the south. The lot slopes to the west, in the direction of the Hudson River.
The house itself is a two-story, three-bay structure of 18-inch–thick (46 cm) load-bearing precast concrete blocks faced in stucco. It is topped by a steep polychromatic hipped roof shingled in a fish-scale pattern. The northern bay of the main block rises to a peaked tower above the roof. A one-story northern wing has a mansard roof pierced by gabled dormer windows.[5]
Bay windows project from all facades except the north. They have narrow round-arched one-over-one double-hung sash windows with stippled corners scored[5] to give the appearance of quoins serving as surrounds, becoming segmental arches with projecting keystones; a fleur-de-lys carved from Sing Sing marble is on the front stone. Above them a bracketed cornice with broad eaves sets off the flat roof; on the second story they are echoed by a tripartite window with a projecting continuous stippled surround and otherwise similar treatment to the first-floor windows.
On the northern bay of the east (front) facade, from which the southern bay projects slightly, the main entrance is located in a recessed round-arched entryway with similar decoration as the windows; its keystone has a lion. Above it is an oculus with a shell on its projecting keystone. The north wing has a wooden balustraded porch and arches as well; behind it are round-arched two-over-two double-hung sash in quoined surrounds. The gabled dormers are steeply pitched; within them are small windows similar to those below.
Pendants support the brackets at the roofline cornice above the tripartite window; all the other brackets on that cornice are identical to those on the bay windows. Above the tripartite window an engaged turret rises. The lower of its two stages has round-arched one-over-one double-hung sash. Another bracketed cornice above it supports the flared, conical roof.
On the entrance tower, the roofline is continued with a section of concrete laid to appear as a slightly projecting flat course. The tower's roofline is broken by another double-hung two-over-two round-arched window flanked by mirroring brackets. Above its projecting cornice is a small jerkin-roofed one-over-one round-arched window. The top of the peak has an iron weathervane and some other decor.
The main entrance has a short set of steps and round-arched walnut double doors. The inside is paneled in dark oak, intricately molded. The floor is also oak, with alternating light and dark strips. All doors on the first floor are nine feet (3 m) high and echo the round-arched configuration of the entry doors, with brass hardware. Windows on the first and second floors have recesses for interior louvered shutters. The ceilings are of molded plaster, with some detailed medallions on the first floor. Around the house are seven stone fireplaces in different styles, with gold trim. The library's has a carved marble lion's head similar to that above the main entrance.[2]
Henry J. Baker, the builder and first occupant of Highland Cottage, bought the property in 1869. A successful New York City businessman who moved to Ossining,[5] he had an interest in construction, having initiated the effort to build a new Methodist church in town. The local newspaper reported in March 1872 that he was going to build houses of "Swiss architecture" on his lots on Highland and Mott Street (as Maple Place was then known).[2]
Concrete had been used to build American houses before, but only rarely, due to the abundance of wood and masonry. Since it was so unusual, English workers were brought over to build the house, which early on earned the disparaging local nickname of "Mud House".[5] The concrete used for the precast blocks was Rosendale cement, made at what is now the Register-listed Snyder Estate Natural Cement Historic District in Rosendale, further north in the Hudson Valley.[5] It would be the first concrete house in Westchester County, predating the better-known reinforced concrete Ward Castle in what is now Rye Brook by four years.[2] The High Victorian Gothic style used was also an unusual choice for house.
Six years later, in 1878, Baker died. His estate took three years to sell. The Dickey family gave it the name Highland Cottage when they moved in in 1881. Six years later, they moved. Their buyer, an elderly woman, lived there for a short time before selling in turn to a man named John Cockcroft.[2]
Cockcroft lived in the house, without making any significant changes to it, for 17 years before selling it to Dr. Amos Squire in 1905. It would take his name as his family put it to a number of different uses over the course of the 20th century. Five years after moving in, Squire, then the head physician at nearby Sing Sing Prison, converted the first floor into Grandview Sanitarium, a mental hospital. In the years after World War I, Squire, a member of the state Naval Militia, used it as a hospital for injured sailors.[2]
During the 1920s Squire's public service continued, as the village's health officer and a county medical examiner. In 1920 the ground floor became the Castle Inn restaurant, while the Squires retained their upstairs quarters. After the restaurant moved to other premises in 1923, the family took over the house again. When Dr. Squire assumed the medical examiner's position in 1925, his secretary needed to be able to accompany him on any emergency calls, so a basement apartment was constructed for the man and his wife to live there from 1936 to 1944.[2]
After 1944, the space was rented out for medical offices. Dr. Squire died in 1949, leaving the house to his daughter, Evelyn Squire Culp, who had herself been born in the house 44 years earlier. Culp, a practicing lawyer and graduate of Columbia Business School, started the Squire School of Business in the house in 1952. She continued to teach office and secretarial skills there for 20 years, and tutored private pupils[2] until 1984.[5]
That year she donated the house to the Westchester Preservation League. For the next 12 years it remained her residence. After she moved out in 1996, the league sold the house to a private owner, and so it has remained since.[5]

Praise for Implementing EMDR Early Mental Health Interventions for Man-Made and Natural Disasters, from which this eBook is compiled:
"In this latest insightful volume gathered and edited by Marilyn Luber, the authors have combined the lessons learned with personal accounts of how they proceeded. There is still much to be done to integrate mental health care effectively into disaster response worldwide, but this volume will help to point the way to best practices."
-Robert Gelbach, PhD Past Executive Director at EMDR Humanitarian Assistance Programs
EMDR Therapy is a psychotherapy approach based on standard procedures and protocols. Using these standard procedures and protocols as its template, this book presents step-by-step scripts that enable new practitioners and seasoned EMDR clinicians, trainers, and consultants alike to incorporate EMDR Therapy into their case conceptualizations and treatment plans when working with first responders who have suffered acute stress injuries during man-made and natural disasters. These scripts can be put to use immediately and retain the complete integrity of EMDR Therapy by presenting the three-prong protocol (past memories, present triggers, and future templates) and the 11-step procedure essential to the standard practice of EMDR Therapy. They reinforce the specific parts, sequence, and language used to create an effective outcome, and illustrate how clinicians are using this framework to work with a variety of therapeutic difficulties and modalities while maintaining the integrity of the AIP model.
The eBook illuminates early intervention procedures for first responders and protective service workers who must assist populations in the aftermaths of catastrophic events. It includes information and summary sheets created specifically for different types of first responders including firefighters and EMS professionals, the police, and the military. It also includes an underground trauma protocol designed for trauma related to mining disasters, and a "Blind to Therapist Protocol."

Lactose Intolerance
Many parents confuse the terms lactose intolerance and milk allergy. Lactose intolerance is a digestive problem; milk allergy involves the immune system, and children can be tested for both conditions. The American Academy of Pediatrics offers advice to parents about how to tell whether their children have lactose intolerance.
"People who are lactose intolerant or showing lactose intolerance symptoms don't have to miss out on the great taste and health benefits of low-fat and fat-free dairy foods."
- American Academy of Pediatrics Clinical Report: Lactose Intolerance in Infants, Children, and Adolescents

Becoming a freelancer or self-employed can feel like a breath of fresh air sweeping through your life. However, if you are not well prepared for the challenges that freelancing can provide then it can often be difficult to earn what is a living wage.
We looked at some top productivity tips to help you work more efficiently and find freelance success.
Know Your Price
There are generally three schools of thought when it comes to freelancing. Some believe that is a lot easier to secure excellent remuneration, while on the flip side others feel it is impossible to make a respectable salary. The truth, and the third opinion, is probably somewhere in the middle. You won't "get rich quick" or anything like that, but with hard work you can certainly build up your brand and offer to the point where you are very well off.
The key to getting this right is to know your price. Whatever sector you work in, whether it be web design, copywriting, or physiotherapy, ensure that you have researched the going rates for the role and that you decide what yours is going to be. If you are going above and beyond what is generally regarded as a fair price, however, you must be prepared to demonstrate that you can offer something different.
Build a Portfolio
The absolute key to successful freelancing is to build a portfolio of regular clients as much as possible. Try not to work with one client that is responsible for a large percentage of your revenue. Of course, this can seem lucrative at the time, however should the client end their need for your services you will find yourself fighting to fill the hole in your finances.
Wherever possible, look to acquire "retainers" with as many clients as possible as an agreement for prioritizing their work requirements at various times.
Plan Ahead
There is nothing worse as a freelancer than sitting down on Monday morning and thinking "what do I do today?" At the end of each day, week, or month, plan ahead what you are going to be doing during the subsequent time period. Not only will this make you much more productive but it will also allow you to look at your financial situation, for example, or indicate where you may have free time to complete work for another client.
Communicate Regularly
If you only communicate with your clients once or twice per month, when exchanging invoices or plans for the next month, then you are not maximizing your relationship. Instead look to set up a regular communication channel, be that e-mail, face to face, or a middle ground such as Skype, so there is a constant dialogue stream on both sides and both parties know where they stand.
Freelancing can be lucrative if you get it right, and nailing these key aspects will set you well on the road to self-employment success.

Students who are adventurous, forward-thinking, creative and have an interest in social justice are drawn to Seattle University, located in the heart of a city with unparalleled access to innovation and culture.
Seattle has produced some of the world's most prestigious and influential companies such as Microsoft, Starbucks, Amazon and Costco. This urban setting is where all walks converge to find a better way forward. Seattle University is a school of action with an ever-growing impact on the city, the community and throughout the world.
The greatest successes at Seattle University are the result of people coming together and standing united to bring about great change. A good example: The Seattle University Youth Initiative, the university's largest-ever community engagement project, which continues to grow as it transforms academic achievement at the city's most underperforming public elementary school. The lure of the Youth Initiative is compelling-so much so that an increasing number of incoming students say it's the top reason they choose to come to SU. Worldwide, other universities-20 and counting -see the Youth Initiative as a successful prototype. The White House took notice, too, and honored the Youth Initiative with several awards for community service in each of the last three years.
In a state like Washington, where dozens of different languages are spoken and every race, religion and perspective is represented, Seattle University's 4,700 undergraduate students from 53 states and 89 nations fit right in.
A transformation happens when you're a student here. A Seattle University education instills in you a lifelong capacity to create a more just and humane world.

A scheming raccoon fools a mismatched family of forest creatures into helping him repay a debt of food, by invading the new suburban sprawl that popped up while they were hibernating...and learns a lesson about family himself.
Traveling raccoon con artist, RJ, arrives in a woods outside a human city in the Midwest, excited about the wonders that living near humans can bring hungry animals. What he finds, however, is an Amish-like community that is deathly afraid of humans, after their leader, Vern the tortoise (Shandling), has an encounter with human boys that terrifies him. Encouraged by RJ, however, the animals slowly venture over the hedge that separates them from the brand new suburban development that appeared over the winter while they were sleeping, and what RJ shows them is a whole new world where humans leave tin cans full of fish and other food in big canisters, ripe for the taking. As they get closer and closer to humans, however, their comfortable lives in the woods appears to be threatened...

text: Design and Analysis of Experiments with SAS By John Lawson 2010 | 596 Pages | ISBN: 1420060600 | PDF | 6 MB A culmination of the author's many years of consulting and teaching, Design and Analysis of Experiments with SAS provides practical guidance on the computer analysis of experimental data. It connects the objectives of research to the type of experimental design required, describes the actual process of creating the design and collecting the data, shows how to perform the proper analysis of the data, and illustrates the interpretation of results. Drawing on a variety of application areas, from pharmaceuticals to machinery, the book presents numerous examples of experiments and exercises that enable students to perform their own experiments. Harnessing the capabilities of SAS 9.2, it includes examples of SAS data step programming and IML, along with procedures from SAS Stat, SAS QC, and SAS OR. The text also shows how to display experimental results graphically using SAS ODS graphics. The author emphasizes how the sample size, the assignment of experimental units to combinations of treatment factor levels (error control), and the selection of treatment factor combinations (treatment design) affect the resulting variance and bias of estimates as well as the validity of conclusions. This textbook covers both classical ideas in experimental design and the latest research topics. It clearly discusses the objectives of a research project that lead to an appropriate design choice, the practical aspects of creating a design and performing experiments, and the interpretation of the results of computer data analysis.

For those who have never tasted Spam, or have less than positive presuppositions about Spam, it may seem difficult to understand why the people of Hawaii enjoy it so much.
A Look at the Past
More than just a trendy meat, Spam has a history with Hawaii that started in the 1940's. After the attack at Pearl Harbor launched the American involvement in World War II, there was an increased military presence in Hawaii. On the heels of the Great Depression, sufficient quantities of meat were hard to come by, and the troops needed a consistent supply of rations with a long shelf life.
Spam, supposedly short for "spiced ham," was introduced in 1937 when the Hormel Foods Corporation developed a luncheon meat product created from pieces of pork, salt, water, potato starch, sugar, and sodium nitrite. Intended for the US military, Spam was shipped by Hormel Foods to Allied troops at a quantity of 15 million cans per week. According to the Spam official website, more than 100 million pounds of this version of luncheon meat were shipped to soldiers from 1941 to1945.
Because of Spam's history, many from the US mainland have looked down on this luncheon meat as something you only buy because you can't afford anything else. Names that match the product's supposed acronyms have been invented for it such as: special army meat, special processed American meat or shoulders of pork and ham. Spam even was teasingly highlighted in a 1970 Monty Python comedy sketch.
Despite the negativity, since the first appearance of Spam on the Hawaiian Islands, kama'ainas (long-time residents) have developed a genuine and lasting appreciation for this product. Whatever the reason, be it heritage or taste preference, it is clear that many residents of Hawaii love Spam. There are a number of other competing brands; but the good people of Hawaii overwhelmingly choose Spam as their preferred luncheon meat product.
Favorite Spam Recipes
Probably the most popular Spam dish in Hawaii today is the Spam musubi. A musubi, which is Japanese for "rice ball," is similar, but definitely not the same as a sushi, which is a distinction not often appreciated by the uninitiated. In the case of a Spam musubi, a slice of fried Spam is placed on rice– molded into a rectangular shape matching the dimensions of a sliced Spam–and then wrapped in a sheet of nori (dried seaweed). There are even other ways to jazz-up a Spam musubi: the Spam can be marinated in teriyaki sauce; the rice can be seasoned with furikake (a Japanese rice garnish); and/or it can be accompanied with a thin slice of scrambled egg positioned between the rice and Spam. These combinations create an even more delicious way to eat this local dish. While many are made at home, Spam musubis are also readily available at many local convenience stores and other establishments that offer fast foods.
Fried rice with Spam is also a popular local favorite. This dish is made by first slicing and then frying the Spam. Then one should add and fry white rice with the Spam, season it with pepper, soy and/or oyster sauce and then add vegetables, sliced green onions and scrambled eggs. It's a fairly easy and fast dish to make, especially when you have leftover white rice at home. Fried rice with Spam can be also be found and savored at many local diners and cafes.
Spam for breakfast, with fried eggs and plain white rice, is the island equivalent the popular mainland dish of sausage, eggs and hash browns. In addition to being able to order it for breakfast in many local diners and cafes, you can even order breakfast combinations featuring Spam at McDonald's and Burger Kings throughout Hawaii.
A bento is the Japanese word for "box lunch." Because Japanese culture has had a heavily influence in Hawaii, it's not surprising that bentos are very popular for lunches and dinners and are served at many fast food establishment and convenience stores throughout the Aloha State. A typical bento box lunch typically consists of fish, chicken or some kind of meat, and maybe a side dish, on a bed of rice. A good many number of bentos include fried Spam as one of their choices of meat.
One of Hawaii's most popular comfort food is saimin, which is Hawaii's equivalent of ramen, a Japanese noodle and soup dish. Like ramen, saimin can be eaten made from scratch at local diner; but it is also available in many store-bought instant varieties. Whatever the case, whether fresh-made or pre-made, many residents in the Aloha State, garnish their saimins with slivers of tasty fried Spam.
Celebrating Spam
Hawaii celebrates Spam with a popular festival that takes place in Waikiki on Oahu, one Saturday in April or May each year.
The Waikiki Spam Jam celebrates the beloved Hormel Foods' product, with a street festival that has been rated as one of the top food events in Hawaii. Though not long in duration (the event lasts from 4:00 pm to 10:00 pm), it is an enjoyable family-friendly experience for kama'ainas and malahinis (tourists) alike. Nearly 25,000 people attend the event every year, and Kalakaua Avenue, Waikiki's main thoroughfare, is blocked off so people can meander and enjoy the festivities.
Tents selling Spam-themed goods provide a fun atmosphere for shoppers to purchase paraphernalia such as shirts, shorts, balls, slippers, etc. Hawaiian craft-booths are a great addition for children attending, and the stage performances are free of charge.
The two stages host live shows through the festival, and several popular Honolulu restaurants offer Spam-centered dishes. Some inventive creations you can find are: Spam-burritos, Spam and curry, Spam lettuce wraps, Spam pancake sliders, Spam and macadamia nut sundaes, and even peanut butter ice cream with candied Spam on top. For those who want a truly varied sampling of Spam dishes, this festival proves to be an experience you do not want to miss.
Spam has become popular not only in Hawaii, but also in Guam, Korea, the UK and is now an established and well-known meat world-wide. In 2012, Hormel Foods celebrated the 75th anniversary of the creation of Spam, and has reportedly sold over 7 billion cans since its humble beginnings in 1937.

Geiger: You write that your own particular atheism is very much a protestant atheism, that you, I guess it comes out of your own experience when you were young. But is there something peculiar to the King James Bible or to the Church of England practice of faith that you think inspired your journey.
Hitchens: No. All I mean by that is the kind of atheist I originally was, was someone who felt very taken by, or stricken by love for what some have called the authorized or the King James version of the Bible. ... I found that it didn't answer, it didn't answer morally, it didn't answer philosophically. It was that that I cut my teeth on. Friends of mine who are a former Shi'a 12th imam, believers for example, have had a totally different experience coming through to the other side. But I must say I recognize their dilemma. They were told to do it. 12 imams, one of whom has gone missing, who is only waiting to return. I think that reminds me of something, almost certainly plagiarized from an original, not very persuasive script. But I think people have all to find their own way. What I do find is what the experience of unbelief in formal belief is remarkably similar. Very, very similar. So I deduce from that, that the original beliefs are probably very similar too. For all the outward discrepancy, the willingness on their part to make a cause of war. If you look at the number of Shia muslims who've been killed by Sunni Muslims in the last year, it vastly exceeds the number of casualties inflicted in the Iran, excuse me, the Iraq or Afghanistan conflicts by the other side.
Geiger: Many people, I think, derive a pleasure value from religion in part because of the ceremony. Does ritual play a part in your own life? Is there some aspect of that that's missing?
Hitchens: I say in the opening of God is Not Great, that one of the huge advantages or being a non-believer is that you don't have to keep on reinforcing your non-belief by going to ceremonies. And in the keeping of company, sort of try to make it seem more true because it's being affirmed in a crowd. Or by ritual, or by incantation of any sort. We don't need that. And I can run into a non-believer who I haven't known before and in a very short time discover roughly what we have in common. But we don't have to keep reminding ourselves, hey, remember, keep the faith on this point. It's absolutely what we don't need. I don't even belong to any atheist or secular group for example. I'm a little suspicious of people who do. Though I can understand how many of them feel isolated, especially in some parts of the United States. But I think the need for that reaffirmation is kind of a pathetic thing, even when it can have beautiful outcomes, as in certain celebrations ...
If some people, nonetheless do find it comforting or consoling, I say I wish them joy with it. I just don't want to have to hear about it. In other words, I don't want at Christmas time, to know anything the government says or does, such as displays of Christmas trees or indeed, Santa Claus, or nativity scenes, or anything of this sort. ... I don't want them teaching it in school. I don't want them asking for government subsidies for it. I don't want them saying it's illegal to ridicule it. All of these things they do, all the time. I'd prefer not to have to know what these people think. Isn't it enough for them that they have a God who loves them and will give them salvation? I mean, if I believed that, I'd be happy. They're not happy. They won't be happy until everyone else believes it too. And that's surely a very bad sign and it's a sign of intellectual and moral weakness.
Geiger: You don't have a Christmas tree, I take it.
Hitchens: Sure, I do. As long as I've been a father, I've always had one. And I have Passover as well, in homage to another tradition of which I have a partial claim.Report Typo/Error
