mcdonald's a franchise. .. that means the prices vary.

from delishably.com in mid-june 2023

"...The Grimace birthday meal sounds tasty to us. It comes with either a ten-piece McNugget or a Big Mac, fries, and Grimace’s Birthday Shake. It sounds like a good meal to us. But the cost is what is causing a stir for many. There seems to be an issue with the price of the Grimace Birthday Meal.

Apparently, the cost of the Grimace Meal varies by each franchise. The difference in the price is at least $4.00! That is just insane. We understand that location plays a role in what restaurants charge. But with franchises, there should be a set price for what a meal costs. There is no reason that McDonald’s ten minutes away from each other should have a noticeable discrepancy in price....

User @Frank Graziano said, “Oh, and I took your advice and checked different locations and found up to an $8 price difference. The lowest was $12.09.” @Veronica Adams replied, “It was $16.78 at one location. $9.69 at another location four miles away. Crazy.” @Dee admitted, “$14.39 for the McDonald’s five minutes from my house. Check another 20 minutes away. $11.39. That’s wild.”...."

[ad_1] Dan Graziano, senior NFL national reporterJan 4, 2024, 12:00 PM ETCloseDan Graziano is a senior NFL national reporter for ESPN, covering the entire league and breaking news. Dan also contributes to Get Up, NFL Live, SportsCenter, ESPN Radio, Sunday NFL Countdown and Fantasy Football Now. He is a New Jersey native who joined ESPN in 2011, and he is also the author of two published novels. You can follow Dan on Twitter via @DanGrazianoESPN.The Detroit Lions' Aaron Glenn, the Miami Dolphins' Frank Smith and the Dallas Cowboys' John Fassel are the top-ranked defensive, offensive and special teams coordinators in the NFL, according to a survey of players conducted by the NFL Players Association during the 2023 season.The survey is part of the union's broader report card project it launched last year, surveying players throughout the league on various topics related to their teams. Last year's survey asked players to rate their teams on a number of factors, including ownership, practice facilities, coaching, etc. This year, the union wanted to broaden the survey and include more topics, and one of them was coordinators.Editor's Picks2 Related"We got really great participation in last year's report card survey, but we wanted to think about what other areas matter to guys day to day," NFLPA president J.C. Tretter told ESPN in a phone interview Thursday morning. "So, the idea of evaluating the coordinators was brought up. They're a major factor in your day-to-day life as a player, and we wanted to make sure players had a voice in promoting the good ones."Tretter said more than 1,700 players responded to this report card survey, which will be released, as it was last year, around the scouting combine in late February/early March. But the union wanted to put out the lists of top five coordinators now, ahead of the annual head-coach hiring cycle, to generate positive attention for some of the coaches who will be candidates."We hope it will help these really qualified leaders get the chance to move on in the next cycle and have a chance to become head coaches," Tretter said.The survey was specific about who it asked -- offensive players were asked to rate their offensive coordinators, defensive players to rate their defensive coordinators, etc., on a scale of 1 to 10. The NFLPA says 864 offensive players rated their offensive coordinators, 774 defensive players rated their defensive coordinators and 1,025 players who participate on special teams rated their special teams coordinators. The survey ran from late August through mid-November."Just about every player, when asked publicly, is trained not to give a negative answer," Tretter said. "So, we feel, because the responses are protected, this is a barometer of how players feel about their coaches."Tretter said one of the things that impressed him was the diversity of the names on the lists. Some are from winning teams, some from losing teams. Example: All three of the 11-5 Dallas Cowboys' coordinators made their respective top 5s, but two of the 2-14 Carolina Panthers' coordinators also made their top 5.Some of the names in the top 5s are former head coaches, including four of the top five defensive coordinators in the survey. Some are former players. Some are sons of former coaches.Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn was the No. 1 overall rated coordinator in the survey, according to NFLPA president J.C. Tretter. AP Photo/Paul SancyaTretter said Glenn, who has not yet had the chance to be a head coach but tops the defensive list ahead of four guys who have, was rated the No. 1 coordinator overall in the survey across all three categories.The NFLPA had its reasons for releasing only the top 5s at this point and not full lists. One was, as mentioned, to highlight and help strong head-coach candidates in the interview cycle. Another was to avoid playoff-bound teams whose coordinators might have rated poorly from having to deal with that as an issue ahead of postseason games."Sometimes, the negative gets too much of the headlines," Tretter said. "We didn't want to muddy the waters by also having people talk about the low-scoring coordinators.The top five offensive coordinators in the NFL, according to the NFLPA player survey:Frank Smith, Miami DolphinsThomas Brown, Carolina PanthersBrian Schottenheimer, Dallas CowboysBrian Callahan, Cincinnati BengalsKellen Moore, Los Angeles ChargersThe top five defensive coordinators in the NFL, according to the NFLPA player survey:Aaron Glenn, Detroit LionsSteve Wilks, San Francisco 49ersDan Quinn, Dallas CowboysBrian Flores, Minnesota VikingsRaheem Morris, Los Angeles RamsThe top five special teams coordinators in the NFL, according to the NFLPA player survey:John Fassel, Dallas CowboysChris Tabor, Carolina Panthers (currently interim head coach)Matt Daniels, Minnesota VikingsDave Fipp, Detroit LionsDarren Rizzi, New Orleans Saints [ad_2] Source link

Mysticism is love unto death. Catherine of Siena’s heart split “in two down the middle” due to the “violence of love” inside it, and she was dead for four hours before God revived her.

He was born on April 11, 1859 and died on July 28, 1881. He was shot by a lawman in a very short career, during which he killed two opponents. He was a friend and associate of the James-Younger Gang and later an outlaw affiliated with the First and Second Robberies as well as the Battle of Glorietta. He was one of the few people to have been shot and killed by the "gunfighter" John Wesley Hardin, who shot him in the back of the head during a gunfight. He was also the subject of the popular Western novel and several films, the most famous of which is the John Sturges film "Billy the Kid" starring Henry Fonda. The most famous bank robbery in history is the Northfield, Minnesota robbery of 1911. In it John and his friend, fellow Josephine bank robber and fellow "gunfighter" Dick Liddil, held a small Minnesota town for two days taking hostages and robbing the local bank before escaping across the prairie. Although the robbery was a great success for the young gang, it ended in disaster when the train they had used to escape was discovered abandoned in a small village and the community quickly organized a pursuit across several states that caught up with and resulted in the capture of John and Dick both killed them both shot in the back by a Deputy Sheriff while they were taking shelter in a farmhouse.

5. Ted "El Yuro" Juan "Juan the Tall" RAMIREZ was a 19-year-old Mexican citizen who immigrated to the United States.

Born into a poor family in Missouri, he left home at a young age to become a robber with his brother Joseph and friend Wood Hite. He was shot and killed by two different lawmen during his career. His nickname comes from the fact that he used a red stallion called Majoree to pull off many of his robberies.

3. Clarence "Pinehurst" Arthur "Art" Arthur was a 32-year-old American bank robber who was wanted in several states for train and bank robberies. His nick-name came from the fact that he sometimes used a red horse to escape from the banks he robbed. He was arrested in Arizona in 1894 and escaped from prison five years later but was re-captured in 1901 and served his full sentence before being released in 1907. He died in 1910 during an influenza epidemic.

2. John "Jack" Joseph "Little Jack" was a 21-year-old American bank robber and a member of the James-Younger Gang. He was also the youngest member of the Gang and only 4 feet 8 inches tall. He used the name "Jack" because his mother didn't want his real name known and his brother Clarence initially refused to let him join the Gang until he changed it. His nickname came from his younger years when he used a smaller wagon, which was smaller than those used by his companions. His brother Jim Younger gave him the nickname "Little Jack" soon after his recruitment to the Gang. He was killed in a shoot-out with lawmen in Northfield, Minnesota in 1876.

1. John "Jack" the "Granite Grinder" Younger John "Jack" Younger, also known as "Jack the Gravel Grinder" was a 28-year-old American bank robber who was a cousin of the James-Younger Gang. His full name was John H. "Jack" Younger. His father, brother, and three cousins all served time in prison for bank robbery, and he was married to one of his cousin Wood Hite's sisters. He is believed to have been the best shot in the Gang, and his skill was put to good use during the James-Younger Robbery which took place on January 22, 1876.

FINALLY THEY'RE HERE thought it was coming on Tuesday but either they've changed it for this year or they just delayed it but WE HAVE THEM NOW LET'S GO.

AJ and Kai: Gold Dust by DJ Fresh (Jive) - Starting energetic for AJ I can kind of see that, I feel like she'd be good at that! Don't think I've heard the song if I have it's one of those songs I've heard but haven't a scooby of the name lol.

Judi and Graziano: Chain of Fools by Aretha Franklin (American Smooth) - I like that they're starting off Judi with a smooth ballroom dance, because of her career it's easy to bung her in a funny category to start off with but they haven't good for them 😂.

Rose and Giovanni: Shake It Off by Taylor Swift (Jive) - I was rather hoping we'd make it a bit longer without this song popping up again... like maybe 100 years or so but I guess I can see why Rose is doing it, anyway I think I've said before I think jive will be good for her getting into it so I look forward to it!

Tilly and Nikita: Consequences by Camila Cabello (Waltz) - Could be a very apt song title considering the stuff people are saying lol I had to, I am gonna avoid Twitter as well as news sites so shit talking won't get into my head while trying to be fair (lol me fair as if), but yeah it could be good idk lmao.

Adam and Katya: Beggin' by Maneskin (Triple Cha) - MANESKIN EXCUSE ME??? Sorry I love Maneskin so much but I feel like saying it's Beggin' by Maneskin when it's actually a cover is just... trying to be popular cos Strictly have used the original Beggin' for triples chas for years 😂.

Rhys and Nancy: End of the Road by Boys II Men (Viennese Waltz) - Boys II Men because... he's on CBBC? Is that it? Idk 😂. Viennese Waltz could be interesting to see from them idk lol.

Dan and Nadiya: Everybody Needs Somebody by The Blues Brothers (Quickstep) - Is this cos the last time Nadiya had a giant of a partner he did well at the quickstep okay 😂. It's week 1 I feel like there has to be some sort of connection each song 😂.

Tom and Amy: September by Earth, Wind & Fire (Triple Cha) - GET IT DONE WHILE IT'S STILL SEPTEMBER GOOD IDEA 😂. I mean it's a good disco song maybe we'll get a good disco concept from Tommy I'm excited 😂.

Greg and Karen: That's Life by Frank Sinatra (American Smooth) - With Jamie last year Karen got to show off her more masc/androgynous style (which I certainly loved lol) but now starting off with a Frank Sinatra American Smooth idk if they're taking her back to old femme Karen, I mean it's not about her I'm sure Greg'll do fine I'm just saying 😂.

Robert and Dianne: Rasputin by Boney M (Triple Cha) - I knew this one as well LOVE A BIT OF BONEY M who doesn't love Boney M, I feel like this could end up being one of the "wally" dances of the night (good lord Chris Ramsey's vocab really rubbed off on me didn't it) unless Robert really focuses and surprises us so we'll see.

Ugo and Oti: Iko Iko (My Bestie) by Justin Wellington ft. Small Jam (Samba) - Sounds a bit like a Twitter conversation gonna be honest but Oti queen of samba will hopefully deliver 😂.

Song bingo I know about 6 but it's not about that it's about the DANCING it looks like a good lineup to start off the series with 😂.

Staying on top of what's in locally is a far more manageable feat than understanding scenes across the pond or past the southern border. However, the Internet has made accessing the menswear scene in Mexico City or the shirtmakers on Savile Row or the boot-making industry in Léon easier than ever. And, to be frank, you should be shopping from these independent brands over fast fashion stores anyway.

This isn't an exhaustive list detailing every brand there is to know from each of Mexico's 32 states. Not even close. Instead, this is a starting place, a sampler to whet your appetite, a thread to pull. Six interesting Mexican brands spanning the outdoor industry, the psychedelics space, streetwear, and beyond.

Mucha Carne

From: Mexico City, Mexico

Founded: 2020

Focus: GORP/Outdoors

About: The brand caters to an outdoors-savvy clientele. There is a foldable trucker hat cut from water-resistant nylon; a micro water-resistant ripstop pant; a not-so-subtle pair of bottoms with hidden pockets and embedded stretch called Psylocibin; a heavyweight belt with a magnetic buckle, and a Kangaroo pocket-equipped shirt.

Sabina Green Combo Foldable Hat:

Casa Caballeria

From: Mexico City, Mexico

Founded: 2014

Focus: Footwear

About: A retail store with its own in-house footwear and apparel lines, Casa Caballeria was founded by Eduardo Dubost. 5he shop acts as a barber and retailer.

The store is best known for its footwear, an eponymous collection of boots and shoes and rubber soles. But that's not all. One-off originals — tops, bottoms, accessories and beyond — they've made appear on the site, and in the shop, often.

Bota Teo:

Graziano and Gutiérrez

From: Oaxaca, Mexico

Founded: 2020

Focus: Workwear

About: Originally launched as a part of co-founders Sam Graziano and Alejandro Gutierrez's senior thesis, Graziano and Gutiérrez is a slow fashion brand dedicated to showcasing Mexican craftsmanship and classic workwear silhouettes. Focused on "providing a platform for Mexican artisan work, transparency and education, and environmental responsibility," the duo designs seasons with only a few items, each handmade in either Oaxaca or Chiapas by artisan communities the company's established long-term manufacturing partnerships with.

"The goal is to create pieces to preserve, honor, and share the incredibly rich heritage of Mexico while also providing a platform for the artisans’ work to shine," the brand's founders explain. "Working directly with these communities allows us to provide consistent fair-work and pay for them and teach our customers about Mexican traditions at large and, specifically, the communities that weave the fabrics used to make the clothing."

Verde Work-Pant:

Hermanos Koumori

From: Mexico City, Mexico

Founded: 2018

Focus: Streetwear

About: "If we just look at it from the outside, Hermanos Koumori is a contemporary streetwear brand based in Mexico City, but for us it is much more than that," co-founder Alex Leon tells us. "We [Leon and co-founder Alejandro Sandler] see it as a studio that has the versatility to move through different areas like art, objects, literature and graphic design to name a few. We are passionate about stories and narratives, that is why for each one of our collections we create a fictional universe that helps us with the inspiration behind them."

Hermanos Koumori's collections have focused on a fictional airline imagined by a Mexican novelist, ancient running clubs, baseball and beyond. The clothing's streetwear-leaning — suit separates made from ripstop fabric, natural cotton vests — but sensible still. Best of all, it's designed to withstand everyday wear.

El Viajero Dark Olive Pants:

The Pack

From: Mexico City, Mexico

Founded: 2015

Focus: Luxury

About: Founded by Mexico City-born designer Patricio Campillo, luxury label The Pack reinterprets traditional Mexican menswear for a modern audience. Referencing how Charros (aka horsemen) used to dress, Campillo creates uniforms for Charros today: embellished jackets, flared pants, and embroidered footwear.

Preserving and challenging tradition, he plucks pieces from the past and tweaks them, freeing them from constraints imposed by gender identity. Campillo isn't only socially conscious, though. He's grown The Pack while maintaining commitments to both sustainable sourcing and artisan craftsmanship, adhering to fair trade standards for both.

Unmarked

From: Léon, Mexico

Founded: 2011

Focus: Footwear

About: Hugo Fonce, designer for Unmarked, wants to spotlight craftsmanship found in Léon, Mexico, the country's footwear capital. For Unmarked, lemon-wood pegs, invisible channels, leather-lining and intricate embroidery are details inherent to the brand.Emphasizing quality and aesthetics, every release is timeless in two ways: most are resoleable, thus prolonging their lifespan, and most are classic men's styles with little chance of ever falling from favor. It's hard to overstate how incredible Unmarked's boots look and feel. Plus, their prices are incredibly fair given what they could charge.

Our Monday recap includes everything from the drafted teams to Sports Center Top 10 catches in the outfield.

 The morning started off with a practice that was meant to loosen up the muscles, but what it turned into was a tryout for the campers to be scouted by their favorite coaches. The looming worry about the lunch time draft left players diving for fly balls, swinging the bat to hit the ball to the moon, and straining muscles they didn’t even know they had. It was as if they were that little kid again in gym class, waiting for their name to be called onto a team. Don’t fret campers, everyone gets drafted! Participation trophies for all!

 The doors then closed and the coaching staff got started on the draft. The room was tense as each name was taken and put onto the board. Victor Rodriguez and Frank Viola got into a scrum over a player who they thought would lead them to the 2020 Fantasy Camp Championship. Trot and Dauber whispered side by side, strategically planning their next move. Alan Embree talked up players he knew nothing about to try and throw off next round choices, but the group caught on to his guerrilla warfare tactics. El Tiante fell asleep.

  The teams got together, sang a cheer, and headed out to the fields to try and win their first regular season match.

 The Bombers and Heroes had a close game in the main stadium. The campers got fired up as their name could be heard over the loud speakers walking up to the plate. Each team was facing the sun in the outfield. Their chances of catching any fly balls was slim. Against all odds, they rose to the occasion! There were multiple catches made that had the crowd jumping up and down, cheering in pure amazement. Steve Wolfe (Awwwoooooooo) made an unbelievable, almost backwards, snag in the right center. The Heroes were able to rally and win 4-6.

 Sabe’s Babes and Wins & Saves was a different story. Wins and Saves crushed the Babes, 14-6. Bret Saberhagen was seen shedding a tear in the dugout after the game, while coach Tom Gordon flipped the Gatorade cooler. Yikes… Wins & Saves, congrats on the first game W and welcome to the winner’s circle- for now.

 The Legends and the Outlaws had 27 runs all together. These games were coach pitched. Maybe our coaches should get some more practice in before lobbing the ball over the plate. Campers, take it while you can! That was just a warm up. Embree’s Outlaws outlasted the Legends, and came away with the 15-12 victory.

 Something must have been in the water at JetBlue Park yesterday morning, because there was another 29 run game. Stanley’s Steamers and Corsi’s Fireballers went neck and neck, fighting until the last inning. Corsi was seen pacing the dugout, almost about the charge the Ump, at every play. After last camp, Corsi was longing for a team that could win a game. And gosh dammit, the Fireballers did not disappoint. His team ended the drought and won the game 15-14. Corsi, your luck may be changing!

 The last game was a blowout not usually seen during coach pitched games. Billy’s Ballgamers demolished Nixon’s DirtDogs 18-3. You heard it here folks, 18-3. Trot is known for pitching zingers against his own team, but was that the reasoning here? Or did Billy “Where’s the sunscreen?” Mueller and Keith “I need to take a nap” Foulke draft the dream team to beat?

 We’ll have to wait and see!
