FREE CLINICS AIM TO TO HELP SOUTH FLORIDIANS WITH THEIR CITIZENSHIP APPLICATIONS -- Miami Herald, http://www.miamiherald.com, March 18, 2014.
In an effort to educate South Florida's legal permanent residents and help them become citizens, the Florida Immigrant Coalition (FLIC) will hold two free citizenship clinics as part of its Florida New Americans program. The workshops in late March and early April are designed to aid hundreds of South Floridians before a longer citizenship application form will make the process even more difficult. The first citizenship clinic is scheduled for 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. March 29 at the Griffing Adult Center in North Miami. The second, and last, free clinic before the new citizenship form becomes mandatory, will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 5 at the St. Thomas University Law School in Miami Gardens.
MACHEN WANTS 'VISIONARY' TO LEAD LAW SCHOOL, FACULTY TOLD -- Gainesville Sun, http://www.gainesville.com, March 19, 2014.
University of Florida President Bernie Machen met with about 65 Levin College of Law faculty and staff Tuesday [March 18] morning to explain his decision to end the search for a new dean and nominate George Dawson as interim dean. The meeting was off limits to the media and the public. The selection process has been criticized for a lack of openness, delays in obtaining records related to the search and a sense among some faculty members that they were being excluded from the process. Machen told faculty that he felt he wanted to see someone who was not only a scholar but a visionary, and none of the three met that requirement. Several faculty members at the meeting raised the issue of Machen's commitment to diversity. Machen told them he was open to dealing with the diversity issue.
JUDGES KICKED OUT TOO SOON -- Daytona Beach News-Journal, Column, http://www.news-journalonline.com, March 18, 2014.
R. Michael Hutcheson, the longest serving active judge in the 7th Judicial Circuit, turned 70 last year, so the state constitution decrees he must retire at the end of his six-year-term. Columnist Mark Lane writes, "I ran into the judge recently and he looked great. He says he's slowed down on his jogs and runs only four or five 5K races a year . . . He still has the health and energy for the job. He's mentally sharp and is the kind of judge other judges go to when they need the kind of advice only someone whose been around three decades can give . . . Meanwhile, the Florida Supreme Court has no fewer than four justices bumping up against the retirement age in the next five years . . . Experience and proven ability to do difficult jobs aren't things to toss away lightly, at least in any occupation that doesn't require heavy lifting. And if this is so important to do for judges, why not legislators, too? Hutcheson says he might occasionally fill in as a senior judge, so it's not like he'll go away entirely. Still, it seems like a terrible waste to kick him – and the Supreme Court justices, too – out of their offices."
HILLSBOROUGH COURTS MOVING TOWARD PAPERLESS SYSTEM -- Tampa Tribune, http://www.tbo.com, March 18, 2014.
Until recently, all the cases in Hillsborough County courts would have been filed using paper. Now the state court system is finally moving away from paper. Last April, the court required all civil filings by lawyers to be done electronically. Next month, the move will be complete with a requirement that lawyers file all criminal pleadings electronically. The move represents a multimillion dollar investment that officials expect to reap savings over time. The transition has already made the courts more efficient, according to Court Clerk Pat Frank, who said she has been able to reduce the size of the court staff by not filling open positions because keeping electronic records is not as labor intensive as processing paper.
--Lawyer Ethics/Legal Discipline--
RUNAWAY LAWYER TIMOTHY MCCABE: 'I WAS NOT JUST A LAWYER BUT A THIEF' -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel, http://www.sun-sentinel.com, March 19, 2014. [Also: RUNAWAY ATTORNEY PAID OFF OWN HOUSE, SAYS HE WAS 'DELUSIONAL' -- Palm Beach Post, http://www.pbpost.com, March 19, 2014.]
Disgraced former attorney Timothy McCabe, who misappropriated millions of dollars in client funds, has finally broken his silence, saying he stayed in rooming houses after vanishing suddenly from his Boca Raton home last year. "In the spring of 2013, I realized that I was not just a lawyer but a thief," McCabe wrote in a three-page letter filed in federal court Tuesday [March 18]. "I had lost my moral compass." He was disbarred in August. At a hearing Oct. 10 when he pleaded guilty, Assistant U.S. Attorney Ellen Cohen told the court the amount of misappropriated money from McCabe's bank fraud charges is at least $2.5 million and could be as much as $7 million. On Wednesday [March 19], he faces sentencing before Judge Kenneth Ryskamp in the West Palm Beach federal courthouse. McCabe's letter, addressed to the judge, was filed as part of his defense attorney's pre-sentencing efforts to win some leniency when it comes to the amount of time he will face behind bars.
ERNEST M. BREED JR. -- Tampa Tribune, http://www.tbo.com, March 19, 2014.
Ernest M. Breed Jr. passed away on March 16. He graduated from Stetson University College of Law in 1952. His law career started with Jennings, Watts, Clarke and Hamilton in Jacksonville. In 1957 he moved to Sebring to begin his own private practice.

View Single Post
September 22 2008, 08:19 AM
Re: Smallville#801 "Odyssey" - Discuss/Grade <Spoilers>
I'm giving this an Average.
Points gained for -
* Almost no Lana.
* Chloe having lots to do.
* Justice League!
* Aborting last seasons daft Traveller storyline.
* Lois in sexy maid outift.
* Clark joining the Daily Planet.
Points deducted for:
* Clark loses powers, again.
* J'onn loses powers. What is it with this show and taking superheroes' powers away ?
* Too much teenage girl inspired shirtlessness.
* Not-Miss-Tessmacher is annoying already. Shouting a lot and threatening to fire people is not convincing me that you're in charge.
* Started off the season without all of their new regular cast making appearances. Sam Witwer is going to end up being the Robert Rusler of Smallville, I can smell it.
Oh, and I'm guessing Welling's agent won't like the new title sequence with the shot of Welling wearing a suit and glasses.

For more than 20 years, the certified technicians at DEKRA Emission Check have done one thing and done it well: superfast Georgia-state vehicle-emissions inspections. Although most patrons choose to stay in the car and alphabetize their eight-track collection during the typically five-minute inspection, many of the growing list of almost 30 Atlanta-area locations feature an indoor lounge for auto owners to kick back in. If a vehicle?s emissions exceed the regulated limit, the team advises drivers of their options and performs a free retest at a later date.
Since its creation in 1925, DEKRA Emission Check?s umbrella company, DEKRA, has grown to include more than 30,000 employees in 50 countries. In addition to having performed more than three million vehicle inspections in the United States, the larger business offers services such as expert appraisals, industrial product testing and certifications, and management-system certifications.
Since its inception more than 30 years ago, Just Brakes has expanded from one auto shop to more than 160 outposts across eight states. At every location, ASE-certified technicians maintain vehicle safety with the standard brake service including a lifetime warranty on parts, labor and platonic love. Though their specialty is brakes, the techs also perform routine maintenance and repairs such as oil changes, factory maintenance services, batteries, belt replacement, and fluid services.
For more than 17 years, the technicians and sales associates at Nissan of Athens have outfitted motorists with new and preowned Nissans while taking care of cars with maintenance and detailing services. The showroom sparkles with factory-fresh cars, trucks, and SUVs flaunting odometers with plenty of zeros. Preowned vehicles come gift-wrapped in 84-month, 100,000-mile limited warranties that cover 603 components, giving drivers the peace of mind normally found only on roadside psychiatrist couches. The team keeps wheels rolling with factory-recommended maintenance and provides detailing services to keep the miles passing fashionably.
At Master Car Wash, a soft-cloth system quickly and gently washes autos from top to bottom using clean, recycled water that's good for the environment. Varying levels of washes include the Basic with a presoak and wheel cleaning, and the Ultimate that scrubs buggies to a crystalline shine with triple-foam polishers, sealer waxes, rust inhibitors, and bug removal. After washes, customers can wield the free self-serve vacuum to clear out car cabins for a complete vehicular cleansing.
We are a full Service, Parts Department & Collision Center. We service all makes/models and have Certified Technicians and a Professional Staff. We also have certified trained diesel technicians. We also have a Quick Lane Service Center for added convenience.

As we discovered last week, this show is now engaged in a blatant effort to out-reference me. Me, can you believe it? Props to all the folks in the forums who identified the shameless lifts, er, tributes. We'll show 'em who's boss.
We open with a shot of a black and white photo of a decaying building. "The Hyperion Hotel," Wesley tells Angel. "It appears to be abandoned." He's a natural at this detective stuff. Built in the twenties, heart of Hollywood, blah blah blah expositioncakes. Cordelia enters from the kitchen and hands out coffee, tea, and blood. This is known as the "Wilma Deering Effect," when a female sidekick goes from team player to stewardess in a show's second season. Cordy is also wearing a shirt that looks like something Goldie Hawn might have worn on Laugh-In. Given Wesley's penchant for darts, I don't know that I'd wear a shirt with big bullseyes on it, but that's me. Angel hesitantly wonders if the blood in his glass has "gone bad -- it's starting to coagulate." Cordy explains that she put cinnamon in it. She seems remarkably calm considering that Angel's hedgehog-do could put out one of her eyes if he moved his head suddenly. Angel tells the MoG to find out who owns the hotel and why the owner is letting it fall to pieces. Wesley asks who the client is, and as he heads out, Angel explains that there isn't one. Into the bright sunlight we see streaming into the apartment through every window. Thought we'd forgotten that over the summer, didn't you, writers? Sorry.
Cut to the photograph, and we begin to zoom in past the chain-link fence in the foreground. I can't help intoning, "Legendary was Xanadu where Kubla Khan decreed his stately pleasure dome..." Then again, maybe a This Property is Condemned reference would be more appropriate. Natalie Wood was in that, y'know. But we'll get to her soon enough. As we move closer, the color returns, and we've traveled back to the fabulous '50's. You can tell, because they rented a couple of classic cars to drive along the road. A slow montage (an anti-blipvert, if you will) of bellhops and hotel guests in the lobby ensues. At the front desk, the manager talks to the bellhop as he tosses envelopes on the counter: "Returned mail from 315. Mr. Ferris really must stop writing to his mother postage-due." He hands over a flask and says, "Mrs. Miggins's breakfast from Val's Liquors. Make sure she makes this one last -- they've cut off her credit. And the weekly bill for 217." The bellhop is unhappy about delivering the bill, because the guest in that room scares him. I'm gonna nickname him Chet. Chet chews his gum and whines, but the manager insists that the bill must be delivered.

The XR-100SDD is a thermoelectrically cooled solid-state silicon drift detector (SDD) and preamplifier. It is recommended for applications requiring the best energy resolution, very high count rates, and lowest X-ray energies. Its performance, small size, and low cost make it the ideal detector for many laboratory and OEM X-ray spectroscopy applications, including EDS and XRF.
The XR-100SDD can provide a resolution of 125 eV FWHM at the Mn Kα line (electronic noise of 4.5 electrons rms), a peak to background of 20,000:1, an output count rate over 500 kcps, and can detect X-rays down to the Be Kα line (110 eV). It has a 25 mm2 active area and is 500 μm thick.
The standard XR-100SDD has a 0.5 mil Be window for good efficiency above 2 keV. For lower energies, the optional C-Series windows provide good efficiency down to the C line. For count rates >500 kcps, the XR-100FastSDD is recommended.
In the XR-100SDD, the detector is mounted on an extender (several different lengths are available), with the preamplifier in the attached metal box. It requires a separate signal processor and power supplies; Amptek's PX5 is recommended and is ideally suited for most laboratory uses. The same SDD detectors are available in the smaller X-123SDD package or with smaller preamplifiers for OEMs and custom systems.Contact Us for more information today!

- 125 eV FWHM Resolution @ 5.9 keV

The XR-100SDD is an enhanced version of Amptek's thermoelectrically cooled X-ray detectors. It uses a silicon drift detector (SDD), a silicon photodiode with a special electrode configuration giving very low capacitance, resulting in low electronic noise at high frequencies. This provides the improved energy resolution and count rate. The SDD uses special "drift" electrodes to guide the charge into its anode, hence the name "drift detector".
As with Amptek's other XR-100 detectors, the photodiode is mounted on a two stage thermoelectric cooler, keeping the detector and its input JFET at approximately -55 °C, reducing electronic noise without cryogenic liquid nitrogen. This cooling permits high performance in a compact, convenient package, and has been a core enabler of the portable XRF analyzer.
The hermetic TO-8 package of the detector has a light tight, vacuum tight, thin Be window to enable soft X-ray detection. There is vacuum inside the enclosure for optimum cooling. The XR-100SDD detector includes an internal multilayer collimator to minimize background and spectral artifacts. It has a reset-style preamplifier.
In the XR-100SDD, the preamplifier is enclosed in a metal box, 3.0 x 1.75 x 1.125 in (76.2 x 44.45 x 28.58 mm), with the detector on an extender (available lengths range from 3/8" to 9" or 9.53 to 228.6 mm).

The silicon drift detector (SDD) requires negative high voltage and produces a positive preamplifier output. This is the opposite of the standard Si-PIN which requires positive high voltage and produces a negative preamplifier output.
The PX5 can produce both negative and positive high voltage. When the PX5 is ordered with an XR-100SDD, the PX5 is set for negative high voltage. Using a Si-PIN XR-100CR with a negative high voltage setting will destroy the Si-PIN XR-100CR and will not be covered under warranty. Likewise, if the PX5 was ordered with a Si-PIN XR-100CR, using a positive high voltage with an XR-100SDD will destroy the silicon drift detector (SDD) detector and not be covered under warranty.

Figure 4. Resolution vs. Input Count Rate for different peaking times for the silicon drift detector (SDD) with the DP5.
The plot also shows the curve of maximum output count rate. Operating to the right of that curve results in less throughput than the maximum despite a higher input rate. See Figure 5 below.
Figure 5. Throuhgput with the silicon drift detector (SDD). Due to the detector's smaller capacitance, a much shorter peaking time is used in the shaping amplifier without sacrificing resolution. Typically 9.6 µs or less is used. This dramatically increases the throughput of the system.

Figure 7. Resolution vs. Energy for Different Peaking Times taken with the silicon drift detector (SDD).
Figure 8. The figure combines the effects of transmission through the Beryllium window (including the protective coating), and interaction in the silicon drift detector (SDD). The low energy portion of the curve is dominated by the thickness of the Beryllium window – either 0.3 mil (8 µm) or 0.5 mil (12.5 µm), while the high energy portion is dominated by the thickness of the active depth of the Silicon drift detector (SDD) – 500 µm.

Figure 17. XR-100SDD Detector Extender Options.
Use of Collimators
All of Amptek's Si detectors contain internal multilayer collimators to improve spectral quality. X-rays interacting near the edges of the active volume of the detector may produce small pulses due to partial charge collection. These pulses result in artifacts in the spectrum which, for some applications, obscure the signal of interest. The internal collimator restricts X-rays to the active volume, where clean signals are produced. Depending on the type of detector, collimators can improve peak to background (P/B), eliminate edge effects, eliminate false peaks.
Figure 18. This plot shows a comparison between a collimated detector and a detector without a collimator.
Multilayer Collimator (ML)
A multilayer collimator is made by progressively using lower Z materials. Each layer acts as an absorber to the fluorescence peaks of the previous layer. The final layer will be of the lowest Z material whose fluorescence peaks are of low enough energy to be outside the anticipated X-ray detection range.
Amptek has developed a state-of-the-art internal Multilayer Collimator (ML). The base metal is 100 µm of tungsten (W), the first layer is 35 µm of chromium (Cr), the second layer is 15 µm of titanium (Ti), and the last layer is 75 µm of aluminum (Al).

Tony Scott has signed up to direct the upcoming drug drama Narco Sub.
The film, written by David Guggenheim, focuses on the ways in which South American drug cartels smuggle cocaine into the United States ... underwater.
It won't be the first such film for Scott, who famously ventured underwater with 1995's Crimson Tide. Ridley Scott's brother most recently helmed last year's Unstoppable, and was in August in talks to remake The Wild Bunch.

Ecommerce Sites Same Content on Multiple Domains of a Brand
This is pertaining to Ecommerce Sites that have multiple sites for various countries.
Like ASOS has one site each for US, Australia, Germany etc on different domain/sub-domains.
All these sites have the same content but only the prices are different for the respective product.
Isn't it a Duplicate Content Issue?

Google is generally smart enough to figure out that if you have, for example:
website.com/us/product/45 and website.com/uk/product/45
website.com/product/45 and website.co.uk/product/45
that those are regional variations of the same page, to be given as appropriate to surfers depending on where they are. As long as you are consistent throughout the site, and ideally have some measure in place to direct visitors to the appropriate section of the site, eg based on their IP address, you shouldn't have any problem with Google considering the two pages as duplicate content.

I took for example
Both the above urls are same products on Different Domains with Different Pricing but Same Content.
And did a search for the above product in Google.com and Google.com.au
I searched for "Original Penguin Button Down Gingham Check Shirt" in both and got the below as Rank 1
Original Penguin Button Down Gingham Check Shirt - Asos
www.asos.com/Original-Penguin/Original-Penguin-... - United Kingdom
I mean, I am unable to understand this whole Duplicate Content, Multiple Sites on Multiple Domains thing.

Some animal lovers may see it as a good idea to care for stray deer, but state wildlife officials are warning Alabamians of the dangers of having deer as pets after a man was attacked.
"People have good intentions. They pick them up. They take them home. They try to care for them and realize they can't," said Kevin Dodd, Enforcement Chief for the Alabama Division of Wildlife & Freshwater Fisheries.
Dodd says 69-year-old Julius Dunsmore of Marshall County is lucky to be alive after the incident last week.
Dunsmore went into the one-acre enclosure behind his house where seven deer were being held to trim some brush. Dodd told WSFA 12 News that Dunsmore knew to be cautious around the large buck but didn't see it.
The buck reportedly picked up Dunsmore on his antlers and carried him 30 feet. Dunsmore suffered puncture wounds in his legs, stomach, torso, face and skull. His optic nerve was severed and he's lost vision.
Evidence indicates some of Dunsmore's deer came from Tennessee and at least one came from Guntersville State Park, according to the WFF.
Dunsmore has been charged with illegal possession of deer. The deer were removed from his property and euthanized. Dodd says reintroducing domesticated deer into the wild isn't an option because they normally return to inhabited areas.

Mitis – Kick N Licks
MitiS, brought up a Classical pianist in Pennsylvania, has been making his way into the Electronic music scene for the past two years and has been producing tracks from genres Dubstep to Electro.
"I just wanna share good music, have it be through performance or a small, simple social setting. Music is what I do, I wouldn't change that for anything. Have it be a Chopin piece playing in a hall, or a dirty bass kickin' the club's ass, I'm down for either…"
After experiencing the classical world of piano playing in renowned Halls such as Carnegie Hall in Manhattan NY, and the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia, Joe Torre became MitiS to give the Dance music scene a run for it's money. "I find myself unable to stop making phat basses, heavy beats, and throwing melodies into the mix… I Can't think of anything else more appetizing; It's the new age Classical.
MitiS has come a long way in a little time, being flown out by Into the AM to open for artists like AOKI, Dillion Francis, & Dirtyphonics. And has Been receiving support from artists like Figure, Designer Drugs, Urban Assault and his Heavy Artillery Fam.
The musical partnership that started between Andy Joplin and Jerrod Jordan, AKA Kicks n Licks, started a number of years ago and has developed to be an endlessly creative duo that is supplying exciting results both in the studio and in live settings.

I've thought a lot and have been interviewed about the wisdom of loaning money to relatives. The consensus is that it is usually not a good idea. If you do decide to lend money many believe that you will see the money returned. It's better to think about the loan in your own mind as a gift, even if you sign a loan contract and charge interest.
Three weeks ago my 30′s something son called and asked if I would consider making a $100,000 investment in a business that would offer him a job opportunity as well as provide him with the future possibility of buying my equity stake out if, in fact, I became an investor.

German Works Councils Old and New: Incidence, Coverage and Determinants
AbstractAlthough works councils are a core element of the German system of industrial relations, there is little reliable information on their incidence and coverage. This paper uses data from the nationally representative IAB establishment panel to fill this gap. We examine the frequency of works councils by establishment size and broad sector for eastern and western Germany, while at the same time charting the determinants of their presence. Furthermore, we identify newly established works councils and the circumstances of their formation. Finally, we discuss the consequences of our findings for economic analysis of the institution and for public policy.

Last summer, I started a program called Philly Play right here in the Northeast. I did so because I was concerned about both the lack of access and information surrounding active play and the growing rate of childhood obesity in our city. We held play-oriented events around the 6th District, hosted community conversations around play and health and ended with a block-long street festival for families.
From cheesesteaks to Tastykakes, Stephen Starr to Marc Vetri, the Reading Terminal to the Italian Market, Philly food gets a decent amount of attention. But one area of the city that has been virtually written off deserves recognition for its impressive lineup of hidden gems.

This is a common complaint heard in a doctor's office. It affects men and women, young and old. But what is it? It is most commonly plantar fasciitis. You may not have heard of this diagnosis. It is more commonly known as a heel spur. This is an older terminology for the same diagnosis. The reason it was called a heel spur was because when the foot is X-rayed, often one sees a spur-like bony projection off of the bottom of the heel bone. For many years, this was thought to be the cause of the pain. Surgery was often performed to remove the spur. But often, even after removing the spur, the pain persists.
Here are some healthy foods to nourish your brain and body.

Nobody ever told me, when I became the mother of a newborn, that I would carry her home from the hospital trembling in terror, wondering how in the world I'd know what to do with her. She seemed like a tiny, helpless victim of my gross ineptitude.

UPDATE: Piper Jaffray Increases PT on Apollo Group to $37.
Piper Jaffray reiterates a Neutral rating on Apollo Group (NASDAQ: APOL) and decreased its price target from $38 to $37.
Piper Jaffray notes, "Aggressive cost management efforts translated into an EPS beat for Apollo, but lingering uncertainty around enrollment growth creates a near-term headwind to improved stock performance. While we expect F2013 to represent the trough in earnings, our F2013 & F2014 estimates move lower in the context of more conservative enrollment growth assumptions. Accordingly, we continue to believe it is too early to own APOL shares."
Apollo Group closed at $32.47 yesterday.

Sleeps: 3
Ease of Setup: easy and fast
Weight: light and great for long trips
Price Paid: $200
This has turned out to be an excellent tent for camping in dry western environments. So long as you keep the door flaps fully open to allow for maximum ventilation, condensation on the inside of the single wall is minimal. However, if you have to close the tent flaps to prevent rain from dripping through the screens into the tent, condensation is much greater causing your sleeping bags and other gear to get wet each morning.
The best features of this tent are: ease of setup, bright color and light weight.
I recommend this for hiking out west but will continue to use my double wall tent in the Northeast.

Design: 3-season; hybrid
Sleeps: 3
Ease of Setup: average
Weight: just under 5 lbs
Price Paid: $200
The Baku 3 is a good performing tent and pretty good value at some of the closeout prices currently available.
I've used it in cold/dry and cold/wet conditions primarily along the Appalachians. If properly ventilated, the condensation is comparatively minor and manageable, no more than one would expect with two single walls. The two vents are mildly awkward to open but do their job. The vestibules, if vented properly, add considerable air-flow.
I typically use the Baku 3 as a spacious two man tent since with 3 adults it tends to become cramped...as is the case with most alleged "3 man" tents. The two doors and vestibules make independent entry and exit extremely convenient.
The tent is lightweight for its size and if properly folded/rolled compacts down to a bundle far smaller than the provided stuff bag accommodates. I usually transport the tent in the top of my pack, with poles and stakes placed along the side. Although you can't split the tent body and fly between tent mates, you can evenly split other shared equipment to make things "fair".
The internal geometry provides plenty of headroom. The color scheme contributes to good light transmission. Again, a pretty good product.

"The Carrollton community is so friendly and there is a real need for a fast-casual barbecue restaurant," said multi-unit owner Mo Afzal. "I enjoy serving authentic pit smoked barbecue and it's always exciting to add a new location."
This new location is at 2626 N Josey Lane, #112 and the store phone number is 972-446-2700. Dickey's is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. Afzal currently owns and operates three other locations in Texas, including Arlington, Flower Mound, and another one in Carrollton.
"I know people are going to fall in love with our tender brisket, juicy pulled pork and our sausage," said Afzal. "Our baked-potato casserole is heavenly."
Dickey's hickory smokes their signature meats overnight in a pit in each location, offering beef brisket, pulled pork, chicken, polish sausage and much more. A full line of fresh sides are available, including cole slaw, barbecue beans, potato salad and French fries.
About Dickey's Barbecue Restaurants
Dickey's Barbecue was founded by Travis Dickey with the goal of authentic slow smoked barbecue. More than 70 years later, the Dallas-based family run barbecue franchise still offers a quality selection of signature meats, home style sides, tangy barbecue sauce and free kids meals every Sunday. All meats are slow smoked on site in each restaurant. The fast-casual family-friendly concept has expanded to almost 270 locations in 43 states and holds the title of the world's largest barbecue franchise. This year Nation's Restaurant News named Dickey's "Top Five Growth Chains" and they were also named "Best Franchise Deal" by QSR Magazine.
