2017 NRN Top 100 PDF
The Top 100 is a primer for how restaurant chains and companies stack up when you look at the cold, hard numbers. Use this report as a guide to compare chains' and companies' U.S. performance based on systemwide sales, unit counts, franchisee growth, market share and estimated sales per unit.
One takeaway from this year's report is that the definition of foodservice continues to morph every day. As some restaurant segments struggle — like Casual Dining and Family Dining — the C-Store segment continues to grow its share of the foodservice pie with 6.2 percent sales growth in the Latest Year. The C-Store segment still represents a small percentage of the overall total Top 100 sales, but smart operators will make sure to keep an eye on this rising competition. Another interesting finding was that several of the big growers on the list were not newer concepts. Longtime industry heavyweights showed that it's possible to grow a large legacy business in a significant way.
With its strict methodology, the Top 200 ranking, now in its 44th year, has long been an industry standard for foodservice business measurement. The backbone of these reports is NRN's data expert Alan J. Liddle, who has been compiling and managing the database and providing analysis for 25 years. These reports benefit from his deep industry knowledge accumulated over his 33-year tenure at Nation's Restaurant News.

Glorify God. Love People. Share Jesus. Make Disciples.
I would first like to thank you for allowing me the opportunity to share the wonderful gift of salvation and for your attention to the things of God. The fact that you want more information tells me that you are being led by God to the truth so I am going to put it as plain and straight as God will allow me.
1. You have to realize and acknowledge who establishes right and wrong. God is the only one that has the authority to say what is right or wrong. He has given us His Word, the Bible, to explain this to us, ( 2 Timothy 3:16-17).
2. You must realize that when we do things that God says is wrong, it is called sin. Sin separates you from God. God created Adam and Eve in a perfect spiritual condition. When Adam and Eve sinned, a sinful nature took root in their hearts and they have passed that on to all of mankind. When we sin, we miss the mark of where God wants us to be, (Romans 3:23).
3. There is a penalty to be paid for sin. God is a Holy God. A loving God. He is also a just God that cannot be in the presence of sin. The Bible tells us in Romans 6:23, that the wages or payment for sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ, our Lord. God required a perfect blood sacrifice as payment for our sin. God has prepared a place for those who choose not to follow him. That place is called Hell. It is best described as eternal death. A place of torment, darkness and separation from God and others. (Revelation 21:8) All humans will die physically but they do not have to stay dead spiritually.
4. Jesus Christ paid the entire price for your sin by dying on the cross. (1 Corinthians 15:3) Jesus was the only perfect sacrifice and therefore faith and trust in what he did is the only way to heaven. In John 14:6 Jesus said, I am the way the truth and the life, no man can come to the Father but through me. We deserve to die the way Christ did, but He loved us so much that he took upon himself the sin of the world and died so that you can have a restored relationship with Him. (2 Corinthians 5:21) There is no other god and there is no amount of good deeds we can do to pay for that sin. Ephesians 2:8-9 says, "For by grace are you saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast."
Grace can be explained as "God's Riches At Christ's Expense," or undeserved favor. We don't deserve what Christ did for us on Calvary, but thank God He loved us to sacrifice himself for us. God offers you this free gift. It is up to the individual to accept it. He does not force anyone to receive it.
Salvation is for anyone. The murderer, the thief, the immoral, the one who does many good deeds. In Romans 10:13 it says that, "For whosoever will call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved." Salvation is not for the good people or the bad people, but for all. The best example of this is the Apostle Paul. Before he was a Christian, he was part of the crowd that persecuted Christians, and even was an overseer of some of their deaths. A true enemy of Christ, and when he trusted in Christ as his savior he become the best missionary the world has ever seen, starting many churches. A lot of people have the wrong idea that they have done too many bad things to come to Christ. Christ came to seek and save that which was lost, not that which was already found or good. We are all sinners and placing our faith and trust in Christ is the only way to start a new life of peace with God. Once you do that, the Bible says that our sins are forgiven and forgotten in God's sea of grace and mercy.
Call or email me anytime if you would like to talk.
Love In Christ, Pastor Donny Wood 207-255-6708 or firstname.lastname@example.com

UPDATE: The picture depicts the gunman wearing a black on green Palestinian Keffiyeh scarf giving a "one-finger salute," a gesture also displayed by the Turkish police officer who shot the Russian ambassador in December.
An armed man who shot dead five people and injured 8 others at Fort Lauderdale Airport was interviewed earlier in November by the FBI, as he was claiming that he was mind-controlled by the US government, forced to watch ISIS videos and to become a jihadi.
The prime suspect in the mass shooting at Fort Lauderdale is an Iraq-war veteran, Esteban Santiago. After taking his weapon from his checked luggage at the airport, he opened fire in Fort Lauderdale's baggage claim area.
The 26 years old Esteban Santiago was arrested and taken into custody immediately after the mass shooting and interviewed at length. The suspect is facing federal charges following the shooting rampage according to a special agent for the FBI who assisted with interviewing the perpetrator.
The special agent in charge of the FBI investigation with regard to the mass shooting at Fort Lauderdale, George Piro respectively,said that they're not ruling out terrorism as a possible motive in the shooting rampage at the airport, while they're currently reviewing Esteban's recent travel.
Esteban Santiago who served in the US military arrived at Fort Lauderdale around 1 PM local time via a connecting flight from Alaska when he grabbed his 9 mm semi-automatic pistol from his checked luggage and began shooting at people indiscriminately.
The shooter was wearing a Star Wars T-shirt and he reportedly went inside a restroom to load his weapon and came out blazing. Interestingly enough, the suspect kept quiet as he fired according to witnesses i.e. he said absolutely nothing. After emptying his clip, Esteban Santiago surrendered to the police immediately.
According to videos posted on social media, at least 2 victims were shot in the head. In addition to the aforementioned victims, 5 shot dead and 8 wounded, dozens had to receive medical attention from the local hospitals as they suffered from broken bones and bruises in the mayhem following the mass shooting.
FBI special agent Piro said that Esteban showed up at the FBI office in Anchorage a couple of months ago, in November 2016, behaving erratically and claiming that he was a victim of government mind control, who forced him to watch ISIS videos and to become an Islamic State soldier.
The FBI turned Santiago over to the local police and he was taken to a medical facility where he received a psychiatric evaluation.
Santiago is a combat engineer and a first class private who received 6 medals during his service in Iraq, from where he returned "a different person", according to his aunt.

When I am ninety-two
they take me from my bed.
Dressed in my floral nightie,
I am more than ready to return.
Somewhere in the distance
I hear a blast of music,
as the song gathers itself.
It's been on repeat this past week.
All silver and shining,
I wake to put pen to paper.
Still writing down dreams,
loving these croning years.
At 70 years of age
I give up work on my birthday,
to hold my partners hand
and dance around supermarkets.
At fifty I write a poem,
then another and another,
until a book lands on my lap.
Before I know it another!
Fourteen inches of blonde hair
fall to my hairdresser's floor.
Eye prescription doubles,
my jeans rise another size.
Oh how my heart feasts
at forty on Planet Blue,
mind, body and soul.
Happiness is my melody
as I marry the Goddess,
taking the mountain path before me.
Singing of a love so true,
here under the honey-full moon.
In my twenties I embrace
each daughter in my arms.
O blessed Mother, O blessed Life,
I will love them forever.
Divorce is such a dirty word,
how will I find the courage
to be me,
to escape living this lie?
The light, the light!
Finally I am free,
free to be everyone but me.
My husband waits outside
where the dark night of the soul
blackens Plato's cave.
I wake here every day,
I would leave tomorrow if I could.
I don't want to go to school,
don't leave me here mother,
on heartless ground.
I am a flower of Aphrodite.
I remember in dreams
all watching me.
On my fifth birthday I cry
"No don't hurt me, I love you."
I can see nothing,
nothing is all around me.
I listen to the music,
the symphony of the soul of love.
I wonder what will happen?
The sky falls and falls,
I must not forget,
I am the music.

Welcome to Epicurean Delights. Your host for today, Unintelligent Nerd, will be investigating and providing coverage on the fine dining scene. According to some undisclosed sources, AGgs are purported to be one of the most exotic dishes that have hit the scene.
Unintelligent Nerd (UN): Hello there, would you like to share with the audience your creation?
Chef: Yes. AGgs will definitely tantalize your taste buds. They are made for the sophisticated connoisseur who are able to appreciate the finer things in life. First, you need eggs.
UN: Eggs? Is it an egg-based dish?
Chef: Bingo! Next, we have to boil the egg.
~ Some time elapses ~
Chef: Once you have a hard-boiled egg, mash it up. Next, we will be adding in the "mystery ingredient." Wrap the mashed egg and the mystery ingredient together with a plastic wrap.
~ Some more time elapses ~
Chef: Annnddd wala! You have your AGgs!

Disclaimer: This post is for educational purposes only. Unintelligent Nerd is against the artificial toning of silver bullion (AG) with eggs for ethical reasons. The sulfur present in hard-boiled eggs interact with silver to produce the toning effect. For antique silver bullion buyers, do your own due diligence if you ever consider buying toned coins.

Ms. Duffy
I think Ms duffy is/was an amaing teacher while i was at CCC....she taught me biology and my grades got better and better every time! I really really liked her and she inspired me to do the course i am doing today! Will never forget her. If every teacher used her technique and method of teaching, i would have done as well in every other subject! she was strict and gave loads of homework but it was all for the best...Great teacher! Biology was bliss ,thanks miss!
buy yourself a pair of jeans woman! ive seen too many camel toes for my lifetime seriously. and engage with the class more
She is an amazing Science teacher, there was never something she didn't know or couldn't explain. I learned a lot in the three years of her teaching me. She is a good Maths teacher, although at Higher Level she doesn't explain things sometimes but expects us to understand it. She can be unbelievably strict and sometimes it is quite frustrating. Overall though I had a good experience with her.
Shes a real good teacher but is really strict and gave me 20 commitments for wearing a bracelet made by a buisness project in the school
Very good and helpful techer. Im never afraid to ask a question in her class.
she's my maths teacher and she was pretty good she got my up to higher level VERY STRICT exspecially with the boys and there ties 50 commitments at one stage
sound teacher if u are hard working, and scary! Pulled my graded up with her big time tho very very good biology teacher thx ms!!!
I had Ms Duffy for Maths a few years ago shes a brilliant teacher! PEACE xxx
i have her for maths and shes really helpfull but very strickt exspecialy about the lads ties!! she always hives homewrk ALWAYS but not the worst
great teacher, makes biology easy. can have a human conversation with her, unlike some ice queens in the school (cough cough, kavanagh!)
She is an excellent teacher but don't get on her bad side she can get pretty scary
shes sound but dont get on her bad side(u are probably thinking well duh but shes a lot meaner)
if ur hardworking, she'll luv u! hav her 4 science n i gt an A 4 da xmas exams.thnx miss
savage teacher last year for leaving cert. strict but sound too.
Mrs. Duffy has the most monnotonous voice in the world
she told me she'd hunt me down and kill me if i didnt get an A in the jc....got a B and am still here!!shes gt the ability to scare u into learning,which is gud
excellent teacher can be a bit narky at times but gets stuff trough to ur head some way
I failed Chemistry for my Leaving Certificate but it was not Ms. Duffy's fault. She genuinely tried her best to advise me. My own fault for being so ignornant.
Taught me in a north county dublin school for Science & Chemistry. Good teacher.Could have a laugh and get the work done.
Best maths teacher in the school! Her classes were really funny!! Like her in spite of her dress sense!!!!!!!!

Fan Fics
Written by Matthew Hunter (a.k.a. BeepBeep), don Jaime, Brainatra, Jon Cooke, Thad Komorowski, and Pietro
(We open on a nice, suburban home, with a mailbox labelled "Granny." Once
inside, we notice 2 cats, Sylvester and Sylvester Junior, sleeping by a fireplace.)
Sylvester: Son, this is the life. No more scrounging around in dumpsters for food, no more
running for our lives through traffic...We have everything we need.
Junior: Yes, father, but we are missing one very important element of my childhood
development here.
Sylvester (annoyed): What is THAT, Son?
Junior: I don't know how to stalk small animals and eat them.
Sylvester: Nonsense! We're HOUSECATS now! We don't need those skills.We have no reason to
use them.
Junior: Then why did Granny find that mutillated mouse sitting on the doorstep yesterday?
There aren't any other cats besides you around here who know how to do that.
Sylvester: That's called "gifts" son. It is done to flatter the management to
get better treatment. They consider it "earning our keep."
Junior: She looked more freaked than flattered. Why don't you teach ME?
Sylvester: Because there aren't any TEACHING AIDES. The rodents around here are very
crafty. not for smallfry novices like you.
Junior: What about that little canary that Granny keeps in that cage in the sitting-room?
Could you use THAT?
Sylvester: THAT, son, is the best idea I've ever heard you come up with. If you want to
start small, there's nothing smaller than a canary.
(Scene fades to Tweety, singing happily in his cage. We see Sylvester's face rise in the
background, with a hungry look on it.)
Tweety: I tawt I taw a PUDDY TAT!!!
Junior: You did! You did see a pussycat! My father's teaching me to hunt BIRDS!
(Granny walks into the room - in her classic cartoon version.)
Granny: You durn old cat! I figgered you'd find my Tweety sooner or later! Don't get any
ideas, or Hector here'll give ya what fer!
(With the threat of Hector, Sylvester and Junior slink away from Tweety's cage.)
Sylvester: If that barking buffoon is guarding the cage, we'll never get that Tweety Bird!
Junior: Than why don't you use some cliche-ridden cartoon gag-trick to lure him away?
Sylvester: Shut Up Junior, I'm thinking!
(An idea suddenly pops into Sylvester's head)
Sylvester: Say! what if I used some cliche-ridden cartoon trick to lure Hector away!? It's
sheer genius! How did I ever think of it?
Junior: I'm not sure, father. It IS rather smart.
(Junior chuckles to himself. Then we fade to Hector, sleeping beneath the birdcage, which
is hanging on a stand. Both Hector and Tweety are asleep. Sylvester sneaks up to the cage,
being careful not to wake them.Tweety, in one of those instant wake-up takes, plucks one
of his tailfeathers and tickles Sylvester on the nose.)
Sylvester: Ahhh...Ahhh..Aghhh....A-CHOOOOOO!
(Hector wakes up, sees what's going on and grabs Sylvester by the tail. Hector flings
Sylvester accross the room, where Junior is watching.)
Junior: Gee, father! Didja get the bird?
Sylvester (brushes off, stands up, looks at Junior): Son, this is a cartoon. The censors
won't allow such gestures.
(A disheveled mouse approaches Sylvester and Junior.)
Mouse: How dare you! You chewed me up and spit me out! You cathandled me and didn't even
have the decency to finish
me off!
Sylvester: Well, I didn't catch you for my th-th-self. You are th-th-suppothsed to be a
present for Granny.
Mouse: It's all the same to you cats. We mice are little, we can be picked on, we can
chewed up and spit out and eaten and exchanged as presents! If I was a GIANT mouse,
Sylvester: (Picks MOUSE up by tail.) Here, th-th-son! You want to eat a th-small wild
creature, eat this one!
Junior: Thanks, Pop! (Gulp!) Why'd you make me eat him, instead of leaving him for Granny?
Sylvester: When I here about anything involving giant mice anymore, I don't th-stop to
think, I just swallow.
(Junior swallows the mouse)
Sylvester: How did he taste, th-th-son?
Junior: Not very good. I sure hope Tweety birds are better!
Sylvester: Couldn't tell you, th-son.
Junior: WHAT?!? You've never eaten a Tweety bird?
(Junior puts a paper bag over his head.)
Junior: I'm so ashamed!
Sylvester: Aw, come, now, son!
(Sylvester takes the bag off Junior's head)
Sylvester: Justht look at that cage over there! That bruiser bulldog'd rip me to shreds if
I tried anything again!
Junior: Some father YOU are! Showing your cowardly side to your idolizing offspring!
Sylvester: And I thuppose YOU have some plan to get that little bird? I've HAD my injuries
for the day, thank you!
Junior: Well, like I said before. Try luring the dog away or distracting him while you get
the Tweety bird.
Sylvester: Now, justht a darn minute! I don't want to start anything with that guy. You
saw what he did to me just then. It'll be worse next time.
Junior: Oh, father! This is too much for your disappointed son! People will point and say:
"Hey! There goes the kitten who's father has never eaten a Tweety bird!" Oh, the
shame of it all!
Sylvester: Okay then, YOU try luring the dog away . I'll get the bird .
Junior: (sobbing angrily) I never thought you would go so low as to risk the life of your
own son!
(Junior puts another bag on his head. Sylvester takes the bag off again)
Sylvester: Well, looks like I have no choice. Sufferin' Succotash! I would've been better
off as a stockbroker rather than a parent!
(Sylvester stops and yells "I've GOT it! Yes! What an idea!" We fade to the
basement. Sylvester is playing with the lightswitch. Hector opens the basement door to see
just what is going on.)
Sylvester: Okay, NOW!
(In the kitchen, Junior drops down from the top of the fridge and slams and locks the door
behind Hector.)
Junior: Your turn now, Pop!
(In the basement, Sylvester crams himself through one of the tiny basement windows too
escape. Hector is too big to go through. He barks furiously at Sylvester through the tiny
window, then Sylvester slaps Hector.)
Sylvester: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, SHADDUP!
(Hector vibrates like a xylophone. Sylvester strolls around to the back door and goes into
the kitchen.)
Sylvester: Thanks, th-son! For the first time ni my life, I've defeated a bulldog!
Junior: Congratulations, Father! Are you ready for another first?
Sylvester (licks his chops): You bet. Junior, dinner is served in the next room-er...
(They are stopped by a Female Mouse)
Female Mouse: You brute! You ate my husband!
Sylvester (Points to Junior): He did, actually.
Female Mouse: You beasts! Easy enough to pick on mice when you're so big! If I were as big
as you...
Junior: Just swallow?
Sylvester: You're learning, th-th-son! (Gulp!)
Junior: Hey, I wanted that one!
Sylvester: Hold on now, th-son. You don't want to fill up on bread before the main course
arrives. Besides, defeating bulldogs calls for a celebration.
Junior: That's true. Shall we proceed to the main course?
Sylvester: Lead the way!
(Cut to the parlor. Tweety in his cage.)
Tweety: Wemember me? I'm in this cartoon, too! (Tisks.) Poor Hector wasn't paying
attention. Good thing I made a backup pwan in case he and Gwanny failed.
(We fade to Hector, who's managed to escape from being stuck in the window...he's managed
to enter the kitchen, where Sylvester and Junior are...)
Sylvester: Hmm, now we---*AWK*!!
(Sylvester's line is cut off as he's been grabbed by the throat by Hector...)
Sylvester: Aw, come on! Doesn't this "beat up the pussycat" bit get *old* at
(Hector shakes his head in disagremeent, and is about to for the 47 trillionth repetitive
time wind up yet another haymaker at Sylvester when---)
Granny: Ah, *there* you are, doggy! I've been looking all over for you! You're due for an
appointment at the vet...and I hear the vet has hired some new assistant to help her out
that'll be working with you...the most charming little redheaded girl!
(Hector's face changes to a horrified look when hearing the words
"redheaded"...he drops Sylvester...)
Granny: Oh, she's just darling...though she does have the most bizarre hairbow...it almost
looks sort of like a *skull* or somesuch! Oh, well...I'm sure you'll be in good hands
while I run some errands in the meantime! Come on, Hector!
(She drags Hector out to the car...Hector looks as if he's pleading for mercy from the
cats, but to no avail...the background music plays the standard "funeral dirge"
type of music. We see Granny stick Hector in the back seat of a 1950's-era Studebaker,
climb in, and take off, Hector's face against the window looking *very* worried....fade to
the cats; Sylvester looks *very* relieved...)
Sylvester: Gee, that's kind of...odd. Wonder why I didn't get wailed on for the zillionth
(cut to Brainatra at a library computer...we see some schmoe at the computer next to him
trying to pass off a toy figure of the bat from "Anastasia" as a
"Pinky" figurine on eBay...)
Brainatra: It's no being tied to a rocket and sent on a round trip to the Andromeda
Galaxy, but it'll do...*gaah*, I got so *sick* of seeing Hector beat up Sylvester 46,000
times an episode on "Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries" that I felt compelled to do
*something*...(continues typing; zip pan back to Tweety)
Tweety: Hey, remember me? The one character besides Taz that's on all the merchandise
Warner Brothers makes these days? I don't seem to be getting much action in *this*
(Then, Tweety grins at the camera in his classic 1940's mischevious smile...)
Sylvester: Okay, Junior! It's time for action! Granny and Hector have gone...we're all
alone with Tweety!
Junior: Yes, father, but you STILL haven't shown me how you can catch BIRDS...
Sylvester: That will come, son! I've got a plan!
Junior: Oh, do tell!
Sylvester: Well, ya see BIRDS are very curious, so...(whispers in Junior's ear)
Junior: That's a GREAT idea! I'll get the birdseed, you get the iron and the other stuff!
Oh, father! I can't WAIT to see you catch that bird!
(Sylvester and Junior slink around the house, gathering a bag of birdseed, a plate, an
iron, a teapot, some chili powder, and a cooking pot. Sylvester sets up this series of
items in respective places in the kitchen, the plate on the table, the teapot on the
stove, and the cooking pot next to it, (both are filled with hot water.) Junior places the
birdseed on the plate, and sprinkles the chili powder on it)
Tweety: Oh, doody doody! Dose nice puddy tats are fixin' me LUNCH!
(The cats hide, and Tweety proceeds to eat the birdseed. He is stunned by the spiciness of
it, and runs to the nearest water he can find, which is the teapot. He drinks from it, but
discovering that it, too, is hot, he leaps into the soup pot to cool off. Sylvester pops
up and slams the lid on the pot. He turns up the burner)
Sylvester: And that, thon, is how to catch a bird!
Junior: FATHER! That was BRILLIANT!
Sylvester: I try, son.
Tweety: Oh, gee, mister puddy tat! It's gettin' weawwy warm in here! And that Mexican
lunch you gave me SURE makes it worse...how about turnin' down the hot-tub a little!
Sylvester: Ha! You're takin' the heat this time, bird! You're not escaping THIS time!
VOICE: Hey, stop! cease and desist!
Sylvester: Wh-who said that?!
(Hubie Mouse walksin)
Hubie Mouse: You can't treat that little boid like dat! He's innocent! Doesn't the old
lady give ya enough CAT FOOD?!
Junior: A mouse! Put 'im on the plate pop! Put 'im on the plate!
Hubie: Ah, you keep outta dis ya little brat! Listen, cat! I've watched you terrorize dat
poor canary enough! Not dat I wantcha to start eatin' the mice in dis house, which you've
already been doin', but enough's enough! HEY BOIT! C'MERE!
(Bertie Mouse comes in)
Bertie Mouse: Yeah Hubie! Sure Sure!
Hubie: I'm lettin' dese cats know that WE, da small animals, control dis house! Hey. let
dat poor boid outta da pot!
(Bertie lifts the lid and lets Tweety out, who quickly runs to the sink and soaks in cold
water, steam rising from him)
Tweety: You BAD ol' puddy tats!
Sylvester: You lame-brain rodent! You just released my lunch!
Junior: FATHER! Are you gonna let this little guy treat you like this? Oh, the shame of it
all, having a mouse ruin my childhood faith in my beloved father...
Hubie: Well, our work is here is done. C'mon Boit!
Bertie: Yeah, yeah, sure, sure.
(Hubie and Bertie go back to their mousehole)
Sylvester: The small animals run this house, that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
Hmmm... I think I have a plan of how we can rid ourselves of those little pests.
(We fade into Junior wearing a VERY poor looking Tweety Bird costume)
Junior: Oh, father! This is so humiliating!
Sylvester: Be quiet, son! Just do what we practiced!
Junior (Sighs): Help, help. I am poor little Tweety Bird and the mean old pussycat is
after me again. [He starts to run around the room].
Sylvester: Come back here you bird! (laughs to himself)
Bertie: Look, Hubie, the cat is chasin' the bird again.
(Hubie and Bertie come back out to talk to Sylvester again)
Hubie: Now what did we tell ya about chasin' dat boid!
Sylvester: GOTCHA, ya miserable mice!
(Sylvester grabs the mice and throws them out the window. They land across the street in
some trash cans. Sylvester slams the window shut)
Sylvester: AND STAY OUT!!!
Junior (taking off his Tweety costume): I'm shocked, Father! A plan of yours actually
(Hubie and Bertie emerge from the trash cans)
Hubie: Dat cat can't do dat to us!
(Just then two dogs come around the corner. A big one and a little one)
Chester: You and me is pals ain't we, Spike? Ya wanna go bury bones? Do ya, Spike? Huh,
huh? Do ya?
Spike: N'ah. (Smacks Chester)
Chester: N'ah, ya wouldn't wanna do THAT. Ya wanna go beat up a cat? Do ya, Spike? Do ya?
Spike: Do youse know where there is a cat?
Chester: Do I know where's there's a cat? Um... no, gee, Spike, I don't.
Hubie: *I* know where's there's a cat, fellas. Follow me!
Bertie (Laughing): Riot! Riot!
(Hubie, Bertie, Spike, and Chester approach Granny's house)
Hubie: Da only problem is, those two cats have locked us outta da house! We can't get in!)
Spike: Oh, that's no problem. I can get in da house!
(Spike walks up to the front door, and knocks it down. Sylvester and Junior are sitting at
a table, with knives and forks, and arguing over who gets what parts of the yellow bird on
the silver platter in front of them)
Sylvester: Son, you KNOW I always get the drumstick!
Junior: Yes, father, but this isn't a turkey, canaries are very small. I'd want YOU to
have the larger portions. After all, I AM only a novice at hunting birds, and YOUR genius
helped us catch him.
Sylvester: Don't give me that suckup drivel, son!
Chester: Hey! Look Spike! A cat! There's actually TWO cats!
Spike: Sure is two cats. I'll take da big one, you take da small one.
Chester: Oh, ya think I can't handle the big one?!
Spike: Dat's exactly what I think. Ya wanna do somethin' about it?!
Chester: Ahhh, maybe not. Sorry Spike!
Hubie: Why dontcha just get 'em!?
Bertie: Yeah! You can take 'em! RIOT!
Sylvester: Oh, no....
(Spike lunges for Sylvester, proceeding to thrash him like Hector, then swings him around
by the tail)
Junior: FATHER! Hey dog! Put my Pop down!
Chester: Oh, ya wanna fight? Huh, ya wanna fight? That's what ya wanna do I know it!
(Chester goes for Junior)
Junior: HELLLLLLLLP!
(Chester does the same thing as Spike, swinging Junior by the tail above his head)
Chester: Whaddaya want we should do witha cats, Spike?
Tweety: Throw the puddy tats out!
Spike: Hey, dat's a pretty good idea, boidy! I like that!
(The two dogs thrash the cats again, then toss them in the outside trash cans)
Sylvester: Son, did I ever teach you how to fish?!
Junior: No...
Sylvester: Good, don't ever let me do it!
Chester (talking to Hubie & Bertie): Spike is my hero, cuz he's so big and strong!
Spike: Ya didn't do bad yerself neither, pal.
Tweety: (Laughing in the window): Wook at those two putty tats! You puddy dogs sure taught
them a wesson!
Bertie: Yeah, yeah, riot!
(outside the window we see Sylvester & Junior looking a little angry)
Sylvester: Sufferin' succotash, son! Look at 'em laughin' at us!
Junior: Oh, the shame of it! Tossed out of our own home!
Sylvester: Let's just listen and see what those guys are up to. (They tip-toe to the
window and listens to what is going on inside)
(Meanwhile back in the house...)
Chester: That was fun wasn't it, Spike? What do ya wanna do now?
Spike: I'm hungry, where do you fellas keep da food?
Hubie: You boys like pizza? Let's call out for some! (dials the telephone) Hello?
Egghead's Pizza? I'll have three pizzas with everything on 'em... deliver 'em to Granny's
house and make it snappy!
(Cut to Sylvester who looks like he has an idea)
Sylvester: Pizza delivery, eh? That gives me an idea....
(Seconds later we see a van labeled EGGHEAD'S PIZZA pulls up and our old pal Egghead comes
out carrying three pizza boxes. He is singing "She'll Be Comin' Around the
Mountain" to himself. He does a silly walk up the stairs and is about to hit the
Sylvester (peeking out from around the corner of the house): Pssst....Hey buddy, come
Egghead: Whoooo? Me?
Sylvester: Yeah, you! Come here, I have a BIIIG tip for ya!! (We cut to a shot of
Sylvester's back, revealing he holding a huge mallet)
Egghead: Oooh boy! A tip! (He comes to Sylvester) Well, let me have it!!!
(Sylvester whacks Egghead over the head, the screen fills with stars. After the stars fade
away we see Sylvester is wearing Egghead's pizza delivery man uniform. He also has a big
fake mustache and is talking with a phony Italian accent)
Sylvester: This-a plan is-a sure to work, Junior!
Junior: Is the fake accent really necessary, Father?
Sylvester: Yes-a, it is! And I will-a show you a-why!
(Sylvester rings the doorbell. Hubie, Bertie, Spike, and Chester run toward the door)
Sylvester: Here's a-your-a pizza!
(Sylvester throws the pizza outside and Hubie, Bertie, Spike, and Chester run after it.
Then, Sylvester locks the door behind them and discovers he still has one more extra
Junior: Look father! One more pizza left!
Sylvester: Humm, this'll be a good appetizer, before we feast on that bird!
(Suddenly, we hear a car pulling in. It's Granny and Hector)
Granny: Well, we're back! The vet was closed down by "The Animal Humane
Society." I wonder why.
Hector (Looking quite relieved): Whew!
(Once Hector sees Sylvester he grabs him by the neck, and then he pulls down a curtain
with the word "CENSORED" on it. In the background we hear beating up sounds.
Then the curtain is pulled up we see a very beaten up Sylvester holding the last pizza)
Sylvester: Hey boy! Look pizza!
(Hector stops and looks out the window and sees Hubie, Bertie, Spike, and Chester eating
pizza. Then, Hector runs outside to join them)
Sylvester: Well, that takes care of him! And now, Junior, I guess, we'll go straight to
our main course!
(Sylvester puts up a stack of wooden chairs)
Sylvester: Ya see, son, the wheels in your father's head are already starting ta turn.
Junior: I hope you know what you're doing father!
Sylvester: Trust me, Junior, I KNOW what I'm doing!
(Sylvester climbs up to Tweety's cage, but Tweety is no where to be seen. Suddenly, a
sawing sound is heard. Then we see Tweety, sawing down the bottom chair)
Tweety: Keep your eye on the putty tat!
(Then the chairs fall and Sylvester goes with 'em!)
Junior: Now, people will laugh and point and say: "There goes the cat who's father
got ousmarted by a Tweety Bird!" Oh the shame of it!
(Junior puts a paper bag over his head again. Sylvester removes it)
Sylvester: Now, look son, there's more than one way to skin a ca......I mean, bird.
(Tweety is fast asleep. Sylvester grabs sticks of dynamite and lays them around the bird
Sylvester: Now, pay attention, closely, son, and I'll show ya plan X!
Junior: Uh, I'm not hungry anymore, father.
Sylvester: No spoiled brat cat son of mine's gonna go hungry!
Junior: I sure hope you know what you're doing father!
Sylvester: Like I told ya earlier, I KNOW what I'm doing!
(Sylvester is just about to light a match when Sniffles comes out of a mouse hole)
Sniffles: Hey, Mr. Cat, watcha doin'?
Sylvester: I'm gonna blow up that dang canary, once and for all!
Sniffles: Gee, that doesn't sound very nice. I wouldn't want to get blown up. Would you
like to get blown up? Because I sure wouldn't! If you were blown up you probably wouldn't
like it. I probably wouldn't either, I betcha!
Sylvester: Quiet, kid! Or you'll wake him up!
Sniffles: Okay, mister, I'll be quiet. I'm always quiet! I'm as quiet as a mouse, I
betcha! Say, are you reeeeeeeeally that cat from "Looney Tunes and Merrie
Melodies" cartoons by Leon Schlesinger? Why do you say "Suffern'
Succotash?" Why does that bulldog always beat you up? Why do you chase after that
canary? Why? Can ya tell me? Hummm? I betcha that I could catch the canary if I was a cat,
I betcha!
Sylvester: Shhhhhh.......
Sniffles: What does "shhhhhhh" mean? Who's that little cat that always hangs
around with you? Is that your son? Why are you black? Why is that old lady your master?
Who wrote this story? Why was that other guy trying to pass off a toy figure of the bat
from "Anastasia" as a "Pinky" figurine on eBay? Who's Pinky? Why does
Pinky say "Narf?" What is eBay? Is it a website were you sell stuff? I betcha I
could sell lots of stuff on eBay, I betcha!
Sylvester: Look kid, I'm tryin' to actually win in this picture, so can ya pipe down?
Sniffles: Who was the pizza boy at the door? He looked like Egghead? Do you know who
Egghead is? I don't know who he is. Who were those two mice that were here a few minutes
ago? Did they disappear? And if they did, are they MAGIC mice? Why did you chew-up that
mouse and then not swallow it? I wouldn't do that if I were a cat. If I were a cat, I'd be
a vegeterine, I betcha!
Sylvester: Quiet, you silly sausage!
Sniffles: Why did you call me a silly sausage? I don't look like a sausage? Have you ever
read "Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies" comic books? I'm in them! I'm the star!
Do you like me? Because, I like you, you're silly! I betcha I could eat ten silly
sausages, I betcha!
(Sylvester grabs Sniffles and is about to eat him. But, then he starts pouting and crying)
Sylvester (crying): I CAN'T DO IT! I CAN'T! I JUST CAN'T DO IT! I CAN'T! YOU'RE TOO CUTE!
Junior: Oh, father, please! Oh well, I guess I have to be the pants in the family.
(Junior grabs Sniffles. Just then Hubie, Bertie, Hector, Egghead, Spike, and Chester walk
Chester: That was a good pizza, wasn't it, Spike, huh?
Spike: Yeah, plus the 10 more that were in the pizza guy's truck. Now I'm full! Even the
pizza guy ate wit' us!
Egghead: Oooooooh yes!
Hubie: I'm glad that I brought that battery-powered TV and VCR along!
Bertie: Yeah, yeah, Hubie! RIOT!
(Then Hubie spots Junior and Sniffles)
Hubie: PUT DOWN THAT MOUSE!
Sniffles: Why should the cat listen to you, you're just a puny little mouse like I am.
Sylvester wasn't going to eat me any way. He thinks I'm too cute. Do you think I'm cute? I
think I'm cute. How do you spell Sylvester? I can't spell Sylvester. How come you're
called Hubie, I don't know why someone would be called Hubie, unless they looked like a
Hubie, which is fiction. Why do I keep talking like this all the time? I don't know why
people have me talk a lot all the time. Who are these people, Pietro, Jon, Matthew, Thad,
Britania, and Don Jamie? What's a Story Board? What does TTTP stand for? What is the WBC?
How come fools fall in love? I betcha if I was a fool, I wouldn't fall in love, I betcha!
(Huge commotion is heard in house and Sylvester, Junior, and Sniffles are thrown out of
the house)
Junior: Oh the shame of it all! Thrown out of our own house, by cartoon characters that
don't even live here.
Sylvester: Don't worry, son, I have an idea, come on, let's find a phone booth.
(Both Sylvester and Jr. take off)
Sniffles: Those two cats are probably gonna go to the telephone, and call someone to get
rid of those cartoon characters. I betcha the call's gonna be to Australia, and they're
gonna invite that Tasmanian Devil character that was on that cartoon show with
platypusses, warthogs, and little native kids, and the cat's are probably gonna tell Taz
that there's a huge buffet in the house, and when Taz get's in that house...(*wolf
whistle*)...just you wait and see!
(Later, Sylvester, Junior, and Sniffles walk into the house)
Hubie: Hey bud! Didn't we tell ya ta leave?!
(Then Sylvester invites the Tasmanian Devil into house. Hubie, Bertie, Hector, Egghead,
Spike, and Chester are shocked)
Sylvester: Now, Taz, there's a huge buffet in this house. And those are your appetizers!
(Sylvester points Hubie, Bertie, Hector, Egghead, Spike, and Chester.)
Hubie: Uh.....uh oh!
(Taz then comes in and starts wrecking everything. Then, Hubie, Bertie, Hector, Egghead,
Spike, and Chester run out of the house. As soon as they're all gone, Sylvester and Junior
enter the house)
Sylvester: Now, son, we'll finally be able to have our dinner!
(They walk in the house and see Taz already trying to steal Tweety)
Sylvester: Oh no ya don't!
(Sylvester runs in the living room and gets beaten up and thrown out by Taz)
Junior: Now, everybody will point at me and say "There goes that cat who's father was
thrown out by a Tasmanian Devil." I'm so ashamed!
(Junior puts a paper bag over his head)
Sniffles: Why did you do that for? I wouldn't put a paper bag over my head. No, I
wouldn't. I'd make paper bag puppets, I betcha! Why did you say that you're ashamed? I'm
not ashamed. Why are you?
Tweety: Help, get me out of here! You bad ol' tazzy 'tat!........jeezie-peezie, who writes
this junk?
Taz: Mmm, Tweety burger...
Sniffles: Why are you calling Tweety a Tweety burger? If you want a Tweety burger, you
should use a burger bun, and add some mustard, pickles, and salt to it. But hold the
onions, I don't like onions. Do you like onions? I don't like onions because they bring
tears to my eyes and give me gas, which clears the mouse hole at dinner time. How come
onions give you tears and gas? I betcha if I was an onion, I wouldn't give people tears
and gas, I BETCHA...
Sylvester: This looks like a job for...someone else. Now let's see, who do we call for
help now, when we're in trouble.
Junior: Mighty Mouse?
Sylvester: No.......
Junior: El Ka-Bong?
Sylvester: No.....
Junior: Underdog?
Sylvester: No.....
Junior: Super Chicken?
Sylvester: No, someone who IS copyrighted by Warner Bros... SAY! I got it! We'll call a
Junior: Jack Tatay of Toon Zone Forums???
(Sylvester slaps his face. Suddenly, Colonel Rimfire enters)
Junior: Father, look! It's the world famous hunter, Colonel Rimfire!
Sylvester: Sufferin' succotash! What's he doing in our kitchen!?
Junior: Sureley, HE could get rid of our Tasmanian Devil problem!
Sylvester (not really paying attention to Junior): ....How'd he get his Elephant through
the front door?
Junior: Father... are you listening??
Sylvester: I wonder if any other obscure Looney Tunes characters will appear in our
(The little Gremlin from "Falling Hare" walks by quickly: "Hmmmmm, it's a
Junior (to Rimfire): Oh, Mr. Rimfire... can an expert hunter like you get rid of that
horrible Tasmanian Devil that's in our living room!?
Rimfire: Show me where the blasted beast is and I'll catch him! Tallllllly-hoooooooooo!
(Cool Cat comes in)
Cool Cat: Hey Colonel Rimfire, what are ya doin', man?
Rimfire: I'm searching for a blasted Tasmanian Devil!
(Rimfire then notices Cool Cat)
Rimfire: I tawt I taw a putty tat, Tiger tied putty tat!
Tweety: Hey! You stole my line!
Rimfire: Tally-hooooooo!
Cool Cat: Oh brother, here we go again!
(Rimfire chases Cool Cat around the house)
Cool Cat: Now, just a minute, Daddy-O, aren't you looking for a Tasmanian Devil?
Rimfire: Why yes!
Cool Cat: And do I look like a Tasmanian Devil?
Rimfire: No, you're a tiger!
Cool Cat: My point exactly, man. So, I'll help you, that fast talkin' mouse, and those two
cats catch him!
Rimfire: Good show!
(A knock at the door is heard)
Junior: I'll get it!
(Junior answers the door, Private Snafu is there)
Snafu: Hi Shorty! Is da lady of da house in?
Junior: Holy Smoke! I've been drafted!
(Sylvester comes in)
Sylvester: It's all right son, I've asked this guy to help you, me, Sniffles, Colonel
Rimfire, and Cool Cat catch Taz! His name is Private Snafu!
Snafu: Dat's right! And here are two other guys who might be able ta help!
(Technical Fairy 1st Class and the Gremlin from "Falling Hare" walk in)
Technical Fairy 1st Class: I'm Technical Fairy Foist Class! I watch over Snafu ta see if
he does da right ting!
Gremlin: I'm that Gremlin you saw a few minutes ago who said "Hmmmmm, it's a
possibility!" Remember, Mr. Cat?
Sylvester: Yeah, I remember you!
(Sniffles walks in)
Sniffles: Hi everybody! Did I miss anything? I bet I did, I betcha! Because I never saw
any of you guys before!
Technical Fairy 1st Class: Glad ta metcha kid!
Sniffles: Why are you smoking? Do you know smoking is bad for your lungs? I bet I'd never
smoke, I betcha! Who writes this story? I think it's a very funny story! Did Bugs Bunny
write it? I like Bugs Bunny! He's funny! I've seen him in comic books, I betcha!
Cool Cat: Well, what our we waiting for, man?! Let's catch that Tasmanian Devil!
(Another knock is heard. Sylvester runs to open the door but Daffy Duck knocks it down)
Daffy: Okay, where's that Tasmanian Devil! I'll tear him limb from limb!
Junior: Uh, father..........I think this fanfic is going a little too far.
Sylvester (beaten-up): Nonsense son! We just gotta try a bigger bird cage!
(Then the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote come in)
Road Runner: Beep! Beep!
(They both run over Sylvester)
Sylvester: There! That should be the last of 'em - I hope!
(Then, the orange fat opera-singing cat from "Back Alley Op-roar" comes in and
starts singing)
Junior: Why in the bloomin' blue blazes, did you invite that opera singing cat!
Sylvester: I don't know, I thought that music would sooth the savage beast, so......
Junior: Father, make that cat stop!
Sylvester: Okay.
(Sylvester clunks the opera-singing cat with a mallet. Then, Speedy Gonzales runs in)
Speedy: Arriba! Arriba! Andale'! Andale'!
Daffy: Oh great! Who invited that stupid rodent?!
Speedy: Greetings señor Daffy! Are you still a loco duck?
Junior: You didn't invite anyone else to this giant "party" of yours, did you
Sylvester: I hope I didn't!
(Hubie, Bertie, Hector, Egghead, Spike, and Chester all walk in)
Hubie: Okay, where's our pizza!
Bertie: Yeah, yeah, Hubie! RIOT!
(Charlie Dog walks in and jumps on Sylvester)
Charlie Dog: Hey, chum! Let me make a deal wit' ya, you let me be your dog, and I'll
letcha be my master! Agreed, sir?
Sylvester: Get off of me!
Junior: I hope he didn't invite any Sniffles clones!
(An army of Sniffles clones walk in and all chatter at the same time, followed by Merlin
the Magic Mouse and Second Banana. Then, Bugs Bunny walks in)
Bugs: Eh, what's up doc?
Junior: FATHER! You have to stop this madness!
(Then the house - over loaded with Looney Tunes - explodes! Sylvester and Junior emerge
from the rubble)
Sylvester: Uh Oh! I don't think the old lady will like this!
(Granny emerges from the rubble with ragged clothing holding an umbrella)
Granny: Ah ha! Thought you could get away, huh? Well, take THIS! And THIS and THIS!
(Granny starts wacking Sylvester with her umbrella)
Junior: Now people will point at me and say "There goes a cat who's father was hit by
an old lady's umbrella!" Oh the shame of it all!
(Junior puts a paper bag over his head)

Renata Poa made a successful professional MMA debut on Saturday, defeating Brazil's Ellen Carla Monteiro Rosa via unanimous decision. The victory put New Zealand's Poa at number-three in the heavyweight world rankings.
It may have been Poa's (1-0) professional debut, however she is by far one of the most experienced fighters in the developing yet fast growing division. She has been enjoying a very successful amateur career as part of New Zealand's Princesses of Pain organization, taking out all the countries top heavyweights, with her sole loss coming by way of a disqualification, following a kick to a downed opponent.
The 31-year-old's rise in the heavyweight rankings means she sits just behind RIZIN Fighting Federation stars Gabi Garcia (4-0, 1 NC) and Destanie Yarbrough (1-1). Poa believes she has what it takes to become the number-one ranked heavyweight fighter in the world. She cites Ronda Rousey as her inspiration for getting into MMA and trains closely with UFC heavyweight star, Mark Hunt.
The entire Ladies Fight Night: IRA event can be viewed in the video below. The fight between Poa and Rosa begins at 1:47:15 of the video.
"Ladies Fight Night: IRA" took place on August 26 from the Hotel Ossa in Rawa Mazowiecka, Poland.

Northernstate and Tegan & Sarah
We went to go see Tegan & Sarah last night in Heidelburg. This was our third time to see them and it was a GREAT concert! We stood right behind the sound board, which was the best spot for the sound and fun because we got to watch him use a computerized sound board. What I didn't know was that they had an opener this time. It was this white girl rap group called Northerstate and they were SO FUN! They had tons of energy and their lyrics were fun and they all had great voices (which you know you don't always get these days...). Anyway at one point they asked if anyone was wearing the clothes they had on. AHH! At that moment I wished I was wearing SOMETHING I made! One of the halters, or a skirt... but I DID have on one of our headbands! Between the sets I went out to the merchandise table and Julie (one of the rappers) was there. I told her Corinnea and I were making these headbands and she said if I gave her one she's wear it on stage! So I'm down another headband! I figure... promotional expense! Anyway, we had so much fun!

Post photo of where you put your WIP sticker #wip
Wait, where/how to get that sticker?
I would live to have one too^^
Same here!
What travel adapters do you use?
Very nice. Thanks @pugson and @pretzelhands! I was about to ask what voltage converter you use but then I realized that it's probably only a small amount of devices that can't handle dual-voltage (100-120 volt and 220-240 volt).
Maybe interesting for others is this one from Kikkerland that I just found out about: https://kikkerland.com/products/universal-travel-adapter - It's super small but versatile at the same time.
Should there be a paid option to 'fix' a broken streak? #wip
No, because that reminds me of the concept of "pay to win" (or loot-box, see: https://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/NeilsClark/20171204/310888/Humane_Design_The_Lootbox.php) as applied in gaming which doesn't sound fair in my opinion and has been criticized in the gaming world as well.
If I could pay to "fill the gap" the streak would lose credibility imho because with every streak I see of someone else I would wonder if that person actually paid to be there - once, twice, etc.
Can you add an image when creating a todo?
So @joelbaudin, how did you do it? I just completed a task using "/done..." and uploaded an image to the @wipbot chat a few seconds after (because I heard that's how it works) but it didn't show as part of the done task...
What's with the new TLDs?
My gut feeling is: .com (or co.) / .org / .net are still going to be the go-to-TLD for a long while whereas the .live, .tv and others will establish as "satellite" TLDs to assist the main TLD for marketing purposes or particular events carrying the same brand name. We'll see...
What do you use for email hosting?
Zoho Mail https://zoho.com for business and https://posteo.de/de for personal usage
What project of yours are you most proud of making and why?
@harrydry I know one "shouldn't" buy a book by the cover but your book's cover really speaks to me :)
What project of yours are you most proud of making and why?
I'm most proud of having made a 27-minute short film because I went through the whole process of film-making: from writing the screenplay to casting, filming & directing, post-production, premiering the film to a selected amount of people in a cinema and then making it available for free for everyone to watch online on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6YpzZ3inn0) and Vimeo (https://vimeo.com/64427137)
is the iPhone X worth it?
Worth what exactly? What do you think the X could do better / smarter / faster / "cooler" than your "very old 6S+"? If you're unsure rationalize it. Take 5 minutes and write a Pro and Contra list. If you find more pro points, buy it. If not, you're good with your 6+ ;)
PS: I'm saying that from a perspective of owning an iPhone 5 and I stood in front of the X. I tried it out and found out that it doesn't excite me much when holding it in my hand. So, my decision against it was pure gut and intuition - contrary to what I suggested to you ^^. Yes, the 5 is pretty slow (and probably the 6 as well by now) but it works for what I'm doing (camera, browsing, some apps)
What do you think the most important thing to know about your customer is?
Give the customer what he/she wants in a package of what he/she needs, see: https://medium.com/seanwes-tv/reading-minds-to-make-content-that-resonates-b90c9dc814d (that includes more insights)
What do you listen 🎧 to when you work? 👨🏼💻
I enjoy listening to http://musicforprogramming.net
Are you on level 1 (making a product), level 2 (level 1 + that solves a problem) or level 3 (level 2 + that people pay for)?
Level 1 for the project #weekdaykickoff which I started to solve a pain/problem I personally have - though I've received feedback that such a product would be relevant to others as well. However, my main attention (in terms of income) is on client work (#copygiraffe #stolenvoice) which is why I'm taking the slow and steady road towards a level 2.
Where do you all keep your notes, project concepts, screenshots or other digital assets?
A mixture of paper, macOS Notes app, Evernote, and OmmWriter+Scrivener synced through Sync (privacy-aware Dropbox alternative) in case I do morning writing sessions (brain dump).

For Q2 2016, Sportsman Warehouse Holdings' Q2 results came in above its guidance on sales and EPS (Earnings Per Share). It also increased its same-store or comparable-store sales (sales to stores that have been open for over one year). This metric enables one to ascertain what element of the overall sales growth was because of new store openings.
Same-store sales for the Company grew 2.9% in comparison to the year-ago period. Its Net Sales for Q2 grew 13.7% to $189.8 million. Moreover, its Gross Profit grew14.1%. Corresponding Gross Margin as a percentage of Sales grew 20 basis points in comparison to the same period the year prior. While private label products are a small aspect of Sportsman's Warehouse's business (3.4% of net sales during Q2), the Company did grow private label sales by 25% quarter-over-quarter.
This month, Sportsman's Warehouse expanded its operations with a grand opening that took place on Thursday September 15, 2016. This is for its newest retail location in Avondale, Arizona. This is the seventh Sportsman's Warehouse location in Arizona. Sportsman's Warehouse Holdings also had a simultaneous store opening in Fairfield, California. Currently, the Company operates 75 retail locations in 20 states across the U.S.
Mr. John V. Schaefer, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Sportsman's Warehouse Holdings, said, "Arizona is a great state we know well with a high user base for fishing, camping and hunting. This seventh location solidifies Sportsman's Warehouse as an outdoor leader in Arizona. The addition of this store keeps with our business plan, promoting stable growth that will benefit our company, our vendors, and most importantly, our loyal customers for many years to come."
In Q2, Sportsman's Warehouse opened three stores (Juneau, Alaska; Prescott, Arizona; and Roseburg, Oregon). Its plan is to open 11 stores this fiscal year. Its focus going forward is its strategic growth initiatives. For 2017, the Company announced its first four stores. The locations for these stores are: Cedar City, Utah; Moses Lake, Washington; Wilmington, North Carolina; and Morgantown, West Virginia. These will be smaller format retail stores.

The Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove will light up one of the nation's tallest Christmas trees Nov. 22.
The Rev. Robert H. Schuller will preside over a ceremony that also will honor six people for overcoming difficult circumstances.
The event will begin with lighting of a 70-foot tree and 250,000 lights on more than 100 smaller trees on the cathedral grounds. The big tree, a white pine, will be aglitter with 50,000 lights, church officials said.
The church's Scars Into Stars award recipients include June Scobee Rodgers, who lost her astronaut husband to the Challenger disaster but later founded 25 Challenger Centers around the nation, dedicated to encouraging students to appreciate science.
Also honored will be Linda Biehl, who works to improve the lives of South African people living in the area where her daughter was killed during a riot.

By Ingo Plöger, President, Strategic Council, CEAL
Reputation is a perception of values that people have for a person, products, companies, sectors, institutions and countries. Value increase or destruction can happen by the perception of the customer or user.
Stereotypes are the first paradigm to overcome to see the right picture.
Certain events will remind you of some countries or people, like bullfighting, Oktoberfest, soccer, rodeo among others. The same happens if you remember global products like Mercedes, Boeing, Hyundai, Apple, McDonald's, etc. The great question is how perception can change your evaluation of reputation.
In a very interesting congress about reputation in Rio de Janeiro last September, Prof. Cees van Riel from the Reputation Institute, showed that investments made throughout many years in reputation management has increased the sustainable perception of image and created value. As an example, Canada, Switzerland and Australia have very high confidence in their reputation. Even Spain, considering the difficulties at the moment, has a very good perception in foreigners' eyes.
Meanwhile, Latin America doesn't show a significant change, and the perception is a continent with difficulties, no growth, complicated to do business and very disperse. Nowadays, it's even worse from the image of corruption, political instability and with no great future.
Companies in Latin America that were involved in corruption affairs, like Odebrecht, Petrobras, and …

Distracted Driving Ignorance
Catching 'distracted drivers' is clearly doing little to prevent the issue. It is time to do more!
In a month that sees 'Highways England targeting inappropriate driver behaviour' a 'Football agent guilty of killing man while texting behind wheel on M6'. Distracted Driving takes many forms and as evidenced by the case of football agent Peter Morrison who sent 44 messages before he lost control of the vehicle he was driving killing one road worker and paralysing another, it is all too often others who suffer as a result of the inappropriate, reckless actions of some behind the wheel.

Horse Nutrition & Feeding
Feed according to work is one of the golden rules of feeding - a child's pony fed on oats would quickly become unmanageable whereas a racehorse fed only on grass could not be expected to win races. Providing a horse with the correct diet is essential if he is to perform and behave as we expect.
Understanding the horse's nutritional requirements and how different feeds supply these needs allows an appropriate diet to be chosen for each horse.
Nutritional requirements
In order to survive a horse needs six types of nutrient: carbohydrates, fats, protein, vitamins, minerals and water. The quantity of each of these required by a particular horse will depend on his age, temperament and the type of work he is doing.
Carbohydrates are the main source of energy for a horse. Energy is needed for all bodily functions including breathing, moving, eating and growth. Soluble carbohydrates like sugar and starch are broken down into glucose in the stomach and small intestine and absorbed into the bloodstream for use as energy throughout the body. Grass is a source of sugar and in spring can contain as much as 20%. Cereals are abundant in starch, making up about 40% of oats and 70% of maize.
Insoluble carbohydrates like fibre (cellulose) cannot be broken down by enzymes which the horse produces itself. The horse relies on the microbial population in the large intestine to produce the necessary enzymes to ferment the fibre and release volatile fatty acids. Fibre gives a slow release of energy (which also generates a significant amount of body heat so is particularly important in winter) whereas sugars and starch provide an instant energy source. Fibre is abundant in all plants.
Although oats provide less energy than other cereals they do tend to make some horses fizzy. Oats can be used for up to 90% of the concentrate ration. Barley has a higher energy content than oats so is a good conditioning feed but it needs to be processed to make it digestible. It also has a low fibre content so should not make up more than 50% of the concentrate ration. Maize also has a high energy, low fibre content and must be cooked. It can make up to 25% of the concentrate ration. All cereals contain more phosphorous than calcium so the ration needs to include a calcium rich feed to compensate.
Corn, soya or vegetable oil is a good source of slow release energy and is good for a fizzy horse which requires condition.
Cereals are relatively low in protein so for a horse that needs to put on condition, beans and peas are a good alternative being high in protein and energy. They can be fed crushed, split or micronised. Soya bean meal is a good source of high quality protein, being high in lysine.
Compound feeds provide a balanced ration when fed in the amount recommended for the type of work the horse is doing. If the horse is fed less then a vitamin and mineral supplement may be required. A supplement may also be required if a horse is sick or stressed.
Hay should have a greenish colour, smell sweet and be free of mould. All hay contains some dust which is a source of respiratory problems. Although soaking or steaming reduces the dust it also reduces the nutritional content.
Haylage is cut between heading and flowering, partially dried and vacuum packed. This process preserves more of the nutrients and eliminates dust. The main disadvantage of haylage is that once opened a bag must be used within a few days as it starts to deteriorate when exposed to air.
Forage is essential in the diet both to produce a slow release of energy and, as it is eaten in large volumes, to fulfil a horse's psychological need to chew.
Concentrates often contain a high proportion of cereals which are a good source of starch and therefore provide energy. They may be fed as they are (straights) or incorporated into a prepared compound feed.
Oats are the most popular cereal for horses. They are palatable and more easily digested than other cereals Oats are usually bruised or rolled to break the husk and make them easier to digest but other cereals need to be cooked to make their starch more digestible – the main processes being micronising and extruding. Micronising uses infra-red heat to convert the moisture in the grain to steam and cook it internally. The dry extrusion method subjects the grain to intense pressure and heat. However the processing also destroys the vitamin content.
Any excess carbohydrate in the diet will be stored in the liver and muscles as glycogen or converted to fat.
Fats are very energy dense, providing an additional energy source. They are stored in the body as triglycerides which are compounds of glycerol and fatty acids. Some fatty acids can be synthesised in the body but some must be provided in the diet. Triglycerides are stored mainly as subcutaneous fat which also helps to prevent excessive heat loss.
Despite the fact that the horse's natural diet is low in fat, horses can use fat as an energy source very effectively. Feeding fat (usually in the form of soya, corn or vegetable oil) delays the onset of fatigue and accelerates recovery. If fed over a long period it improves the body's ability to use body fat as an energy source during exercise. This allows the horse to continue for longer before the need to use muscle and liver glycogen (which results in fatigue). Oil is therefore increasingly being fed to endurance and performance horses. It is also useful for replacing starch in the diet of fizzy horses as it provides about twice the amount of energy as the same weight of carbohydrate.
Protein is broken down during digestion into its constituent amino acids which are needed for tissue and muscle development during growth and exercise. It is not generally used as an energy source and will not make a horse fizzy.
Horses can produce certain amino acids within its body but others (known as the essential amino acids) such a lysine must be provided in the diet. A protein is described as high quality if it contains a significant amount of essential amino acids. Cereals are low quality whereas soya beans and milk are high quality.
Adult horses generally only need 8-10% of their diet to be protein but growing horses and lactating mares need more – around 16%. Any excess protein in the diet is broken down by the liver and converted to fat or excreted in the urine.
Vitamins are organic compounds required in small amounts for various functions in the body. For example vitamin A is needed by the immune system and for reproduction; E ensures optimum function of reproductive, muscular, circulatory, nervous and immune systems; H (biotin) improves hoof and hair quality and is needed for fat, protein and glucose synthesis; K helps blood clotting. Vitamins can be fat soluble (e.g. vitamin A, D, E and K) which can be stored in the liver or water soluble (e.g. vitamin C, H and B-complex) which cannot be stored and therefore need to be supplied daily
Many vitamins can be found in green, leafy forage so horses in light work on good grazing should obtain adequate amounts. Vitamin D is obtained from sunlight through the skin so horses that are stabled for most of the day or are only turned out in rugs may require a supplement. The horse naturally produces vitamin C in the kidneys (it is also available in vegetables and fruit) and the gut microbes produce vitamin K and B-complex so unless the horse is stressed it is not normally necessary to supplement these vitamins.
Minerals are chemical elements which are essential to maintain the body structure, for fluid balance in the cells, nerve conduction and muscle contraction. The main minerals are calcium, phosphorus, potassium, chloride, magnesium and sulphur. The ratio of calcium to phosphorus in the diet is important and should never be less than 1:1 (ideally 2:1). Cereals contain significantly more phosphorus than calcium so when fed need to be balanced with a feed such as alfalfa or limestone flour which is high in calcium.
Horses lose sodium, potassium and chloride through sweat and after hard work, where the horse has sweated a lot, electrolytes should be given to restore the deficiency. Sodium and chloride are also provided by a salt lick which should always be available.
In addition horses require certain minerals in very small quantities. These trace minerals include iron, copper, iodine, cobalt, manganese, zinc and selenium. They are contained in plant material provided the soil does not have a mineral deficiency. If feed in excessive amounts some trace minerals can be toxic. Youngsters need additional calcium, phosphorus, copper and zinc during their first two years.
Water is essential – 60% of a horse's bodyweight is water and it is required throughout the body for a variety of essential functions
A horse can survive for weeks without food but it would become severely ill or even die within 2 to 3 days without water. An adequate supply of fresh water must therefore always be available. The amount required depends on what the horse eats – grass has a high water content so a grazing horse will need less water than a stabled horse eating hay. A large stabled horse would need about 8 gallons per day.
Feed ration
A horse's natural diet consists of forage and this should form the basis of every horse's diet. Horses in work also require concentrates to provide additional nutrients.
Forages are classified as grasses or legumes. The nutritional value of forages varies considerably depending on the management of the crop and the weather conditions during growth and harvesting. Horse pasture is typically made up of several types of grass and may also include the legume clover. Legumes are normally higher in protein, calcium and energy than grasses and alfalfa (in the form of alfalfa chaff) is the most common legume fed to horses.
Grass may be harvested as hay or haylage. Hay should be cut when the grasses are flowering, before the seed heads ripen and are lost. Most of the nutrients are in the leaf so stemmy hay has a lower feed value.
Compound feeds (also called hard feed or sweet feed) can be in the form of cubes or mixes and are available in variety of types which combine the above feeds in different proportions to provide a balanced ration for different types, age and work level of horse. The main categories are:
- Horse and pony – a non-heating mix suitable for the leisure horse
- Stud – a conditioning feed containing good levels of protein, vitamins and minerals (calcium in particular) suitable for breeding mares and stallions, and foals.
- Yearling – containing calcium, phosphorous and lysine and designed to promote healthy bone and muscle growth in young horses
- Veteran – designed to keep condition on the older horse
- Racehorse/Competition – high in cereals and quality protein for the performance horse, also guaranteed not to contain prohibited substances.
- Complete – a very high fibre feed which provides the forage as well as the concentrate part of the feed, suitable for horses which cannot eat hay due to old age or respiratory problems
Bulk feeds can be added to straight or compound feeds to increase the volume of the feed and prevent the horse bolting it down too quickly. They can also help to balance the ration when straights are fed. The main bulk feeds are sugar beet and chaff.
Sugar beet is a by product of the sugar industry and is a highly digestible source of energy, fibre and calcium. It is usually molassed which increases the sugar content. Some compound feeds include sugar beet but if added to the feed in pellet form it needs to be soaked before feeding. Chaff is chopped hay, straw or alfalfa to which molasses is often added.
Still unsure?
If you have any doubts about what to feed your horse or pony consult an Equine Nutritionist. Most feed companies are happy to provide free advice for an individual animal.

text: Leadership is a word used often in our lexicon. But what exactly is leadership? What unique qualities does Torah ascribe to a Jewish leader? The Zohar describes Moses, the archetypical Jewish leader, as being the Raaya Mehemna, the Faithful Shepherd of Israel. The Jewish people are the flock, so to speak, that G-d has entrusted to Moses delicate care. Indeed, as the Midrash relates (Shemot Rabbah 2:2), when Moses was tending the flock of Jethro in the wilderness, a little kid escaped from him. He ran after it until it reached a shady place. When it reached the shady place, there appeared a pool of water and the kid stopped to drink. When Moses approached the kid, he said: I did not know that you ran away because of thirst; you must be weary. So he placed the kid on his shoulder and walked back to the flock. Thereupon G-d said: Because you were merciful in leading the flock of a mortal, you shall tend My flock, the people of Israel. But the term Raaya Mehemna has another connotation, one that perhaps better captures the vital role of a Jewish leader: Shepherd of Faith. In other words, Mosesand every Jewish leadersfunction is to impart faith in G-d to his people.FAITH DEFINED There are many forms of faith. The lowest is a faith that is abstract, fleeting and aloof; an easy form of faith. A thief who asks G-d to grant him success in his crime demonstrates a certain sense of faith. Yet, were he to follow his faith to its logical conclusion, he would realize that he is engaged in a very un-faithful act. Likewise, to a lesser extent, one who asks G-d to grant him success in his business affairs and then proceeds to employ morally questionable practices in these very affairs also exhibits the effects of a superficial faith. This faith is easy because it means nothing to the person; it does not compel him to alter his behavior in any way. True faith, then, is defined by its consequence. It is not merely a feeling, but an impetus for something real, something tangible. True faith shakes a person to the core of his being, and demands action: If this is what you believe, then you must act on it! No matter the difficulties you face, you must remain true to your faith! True faith changes a person. From where does such faith stem? From both within and without. From within, for the secret of this faiths power to change a person lies in its being a part of the very fabric of ones essence. From without, for it is Mosesand every subsequent Jewish leaderthat empowers each one of us to tap into our deepest, most essential faith. Moses, as the Shepherd of Faith, imparts faiththe ability to access ones essential faithto his people. For Moses activates the essence, the core, of every person.(Book Excerpt from Nurturing Faith, based on the works of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, published by Kehot Publication Society.

abuse!!! strong word but I'm more on that side than not. something just doesn't sit well with me on perming a 3YEAR olds hair…jeesh.
KimReply May 17, 2009
I dont think small children need their hair permed. I think mothers should take the time to care for their daughters' natural hair until they are teenagers. At that point I don't even think chemicals are necessary. A little tlc goes a long way. 3yo is definitely too young!
TracyReply May 17, 2009
Way to young for a perm.
SandraReply May 19, 2009
Definitely abuse! It has gotten to a point that we are so obsessed with mainstream definition of beauty (i.e. straight hair etc) that we don't even pay attention to what is and is not appropriate. A child's scalp is not mature enough to stand up to the harsh chemicals in relaxers. Most experts will tell you that you should not put such chemicals on a young childs hair before age 5.
Personally, my mother would not allow my sisters and I to get chemicals on our hair until we were in our junior year in high school.
I'm fascinated by the diverse range of views and opinions. Who's your "go to" guy?

Get that pie out! The crust has bubbled into cracking, the skin erupting sugar shit and hot lava death by now. How many mouths wait, watering? You are nothing if not the bringer of pie. Would you exist without these pies? Not in this form. Not with those hairs bouncing in the oven's heat, singed and singing noxious notes in the nose of the lady that waits for pie. And the lady that waits hates waiting!
Apple, cherry, (what the fuck is this?) peanut butter? Throw this one at the first clown handed dandy you see. It's not hot and the lady only likes them hot as hell-fire. She cums with the burning of tongues. Pies like napalm sandwiches she frames on the walls of her memory's palace. Her very teeth need blackened with the soot of my culinary heresies. This is not the queen you revere. This is not the old one with the tits in the window or the young with her ass on the seesaw. Those ladies will wait. The lady that waits will not. Why are you still standing here with pies in your hand, cooling in the energy thieving air? Go. Go now. Put knees to ground and crawl if the way is too cramped. Cut guts from those in your way and string them like ladders across the frozen falls of false expectations. Take turds and blood and become friction free.
Time is not kind to a pie and a lady that waits is kind to no one when she waits for pie.

I got 4 of 'em to use as throwers, and as gifts. Who wouldn't smile when you hand them a nice stainless blade like this?
I haven't sharpened it, it's not too sharp, except the tip. Two of these will fit in one of their sheaths, nice way to carry enough metal with you.
I got it as a buy one, get one free deal. Maybe not as sharp as it could be but you could certainly stab a hole in something. That tip is much more treacherous than the blade itself. I will sharpen it and life will be good.Two for $10 is a decent deal. I will take it and not complain.
It was not as sharp as advertised. Is OK. I can and have sharpened the several I have. It is great as a hide-out knife. I got it to be used, primarily as a spear-head. the holes and shape of the blade hilt, makes that an 'easy' feat. I like it. If it is not 'sharp' enough for you, 'sharpen' it!!!
I brought 4 different knives and this was one of them was kinda odd that there wasn't a video made for it. I took it out the box and tried to cut a piece of paper and it couldn't do it, they said on the site that is it sharp but it's not. I have a grinder for sharpening my machetes and a sharpening stone for my knives I am gonna have to sharpen this one it is better as a thrower and nothing else. If you want to use it to slash bottles and things then you might want to sharpen it.

Over 22 pounds of heroin with a street value of more than $3 million
Bridget G. Brennan, New York City's Special Narcotics Prosecutor, James J. Hunt, Special Agent in Charge of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) New York Division, New York City Police Commissioner James P. O'Neill, New York State Police Superintendent George P. Beach II and Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance, Jr. announced today the arrest and indictment of two individuals in connection with a conspiracy to traffic heroin between Chicago, Ill. and New York City.
Defendants ABEL ABAD and DAVID COLLAZO are scheduled to be arraigned today before Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Abraham Clott, Part 61, 111 Centre Street, on an indictment charging both with Conspiracy in the Second Degree and Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the First and Third Degrees. ABAD faces the additional charge of Criminal Possession of a Forged Instrument in the Second Degree. The indictment is a result of an investigation by the Office of the Special Narcotics Prosecutor and DEA's New York Drug Enforcement Task Force (NYDETF), Group T-12, which is comprised of agents and officers from DEA, the New York City Police Department (NYPD) and the New York State Police. DEA Chicago Division Group 31 and DEA Brownsville RO Group D-86 provided assistance in the investigation.
ABAD and COLLAZO were arrested on May 1, 2018 after agents and investigators recovered 10 kilograms of heroin (over 22 pounds) in New York City and Fort Lee, N.J. Acting on intelligence, agents tracked the pair as they travelled through New Jersey in two separate vehicles – ABAD in a 2007 Dodge Caliber with Illinois license plates and COLLAZO in a rented U-Haul van with Arizona license plates. At approximately 5:14 p.m., both vehicles stopped at a Best Western Hotel on Route 4 in Fort Lee, N.J., at which point the two men entered a second floor hotel room. Less than an hour later, investigators observed ABAD and COLLAZO leave the hotel, with ABAD carrying a cardboard box.
Agents followed as the pair entered the Dodge and drove off, crossing the George Washington Bridge into Upper Manhattan. At approximately 6:25 p.m., agents and investigators stopped the vehicle in the vicinity of the Henry Hudson Parkway and 158th Street. Agents observed the cardboard box in the rear passenger area and recovered a plastic bag containing two kilograms of alleged heroin (over four pounds). ABAD was also in possession of an alleged forged driver's license bearing a false name.
Following the arrests, agents and investigators returned to the Best Western with a New York State Police K-9 Unit, which alerted to the presence of narcotics inside the U-Haul still parked at the hotel. Agents recovered several boxes of raw tomatoes inside the back of the van. A search of the boxes revealed false bottoms concealing eight kilograms of alleged heroin (nearly 18 pounds) packaged in a similar fashion to the two kilograms recovered from the Dodge.
The investigation revealed that the heroin inside the U-Haul was destined for a customer in the Bronx. Agents learned that the load of narcotics had been packed into the tomato boxes in Chicago before making its way to New York. Additional intelligence led to a law enforcement seizure in Chicago of multiple kilograms of heroin and multiple grams of cocaine. The DEA estimates the street value of the more than 22 pounds of heroin recovered in New York City and Fort Lee, N.J. to be over $3 million.
Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget G. Brennan thanked Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance, Jr. and commended the work of her office's Special Investigations Bureau, DEA New York Division, the New York City Police Department, the New York State Police, the DEA's Brownsville RO and the Chicago Division.
The charges and allegations are merely accusations and the defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.Download Press Release
