    granola serves no purpose in life other than to keep you from dying from starvation if you are lost in the woods or the artic and all you have is a baggie of granola.
    you gonna die anway, might as well pack a baggie of weed instead.
    go out on a high note!

    Rhino poachers mauled to death by pride of lions after breaking into game reserve
    by Chris Irvine | Fox News — 4 hours ago

    At least three suspected rhino poachers have been killed by a pride of lions after they broke into a game reserve in South Africa.

    Rangers discovered human remains around 4:30 p.m. local time on July 3 in the immediate vicinity of the lions’ territory at the Sibuya Game Reserve in Kenton-on-Sea in the Eastern Cape, more than 24 hours after an anti-poaching dog alerted her handler that something was amiss.

    The ranger however did not examine the disturbance further because it was not unusual to hear the lions at night.

    When members of the anti-poaching unit investigated, they recovered human remains, a high-powered rifle with a silencer, wire cutters, an axe and three pairs of shoes.

    Nick Fox, the park’s owner, said the lions were shot with tranquilizer darts at first light so police forensic teams and the anti-poaching unit could comb the area for clues, and admitted it was not clear how many poachers may have been killed.

    “The only body part we found was one skull and one bit of pelvis, everything else was completely gone,” he told Newsweek. “There is so little left that they don’t know exactly how many people were killed, we suspect three because we found three sets of shoes and three sets of gloves.”

    He added: “They came heavily armed with hunting rifles and axes which we have recovered and enough food to last them for several days so we suspect they were after all of our rhinos here. But the lions are our watchers and guardians and they picked the wrong pride and became a meal.”

    Police spokeswoman Captain Mali Govender said: “We do not know identities but firearms have been taken by the police and will be sent to the ballistics laboratory to see if they have been used in poaching before.”

    In 2016, the reserve saw three of its rhinos shot dead by poachers who broke into the reserve to cut off their horns. All books with the reserve include an option Rhino Levy where the proceeds are donated to a fund fighting poaching.

    Nine rhinos have been killed by poachers in Eastern Cape province this year, according to South Africa’s Times.

    The reserve is one of the most popular game reserves in the Eastern Cape and is home to Africa’s big five – elephants, buffalos and leopards as well as rhinos and lions.

    The cherry on top would be another story about a matador who was gored by a bull in front of 50,000 blood- sport fans!
    Yeehah!

    Wow. Good find.
    Guess the picadores didn't do their job so well.
    I wonder if they cut off his ears, butchered him, and then gave his meat " to the poor and hungry"?

    A = Auroch = Bull = Baal = son of Al-Ilah = the being that represents the power of god in animistic society.
    A bill or a bull is the same thing.
    God or the Law is the same thing.
    The power of the law is contained in the bull.
    Which means the bill is the law.
    And that is how man creates with his hands the idol called a statute.
    Bulls on parade.
    Whatcha gonna do when the bull parade runs wild on you!

    It's a good idea to not eat as many things that may cause allergies or other ailments as we can help it.
    I love shrimp fried in butter, with small mushrooms, garlic, and scallions. Specially on the shell.
    But I try not to eat shellfish.
    So I get salmon ribs and fry them skin down first so they release all that fat (they have tons of good fat) and fry in their own fat.
    Make great tacos or if you add a little coconut cream, liquid aminos, and sesame seed oil and you have a good protein for a south east asian dish.

    Kind of ironic that he was one of Sam Kinison's mentors.

    Even more ironic that a sober Sam got killed by a drunk driver.

    Worry not @Gebbeth there are still a few of us determined to die younger, though happier, with the taste of a well seasoned tri tip on our breath, mixing casually with potatos, carrots and whiskey.

    Not that I won't eat granola, but it will never be the main course.

    Papa John's fallout continues
    Company pulls founder's image from its marketing

    by Candice Choi | AP Food Industry Writer — 3 hours ago
    [​IMG]
    NEW YORK (AP) -- Papa John's, which has featured founder John Schnatter as the face of the company in logos and TV ads, is pulling his image from its marketing after reports he used a racial slur.

    His face was off at least some materials by late morning Friday, though the company said the details and exact timing for everything were still being worked out. The pizza chain said there are no plans to change its name.

    Schnatter is still on the board and is the company's largest shareholder — meaning he remains a key presence. Papa John's has acknowledged in regulatory filings that Schnatter's public role as its pitchman could be a liability if his reputation was damaged. The company got a taste of that last year, when Schnatter stepped down as CEO after blaming disappointing pizza sales on the outcry surrounding football players kneeling during the national anthem.

    This week, Papa John's was already trying to further publicly distance itself from Schnatter after Forbes reported he used the N-word during a conference call in May. Schnatter apologized and said he would resign as chairman. That prompted the company's stock to recover some of the losses it suffered after the report, and shares were up less than 1 percent Friday. Schnatter owns nearly 30 percent of the stock.

    In addition to appearing in TV ads, Schnatter's image has been on packaging and at the center of a logo that usually was all over the website of the Louisville, Kentucky-based company.

    Keith Hollingsworth, a professor with Morehouse College's business department, said keeping Schnatter in the marketing and advertising would signal to people that the company does not have a problem with his comments, or that it doesn't think they are a big deal.

    "Five years from now, they might be able to start bringing him back. But at the moment, you have to be very decisive and show you take this very seriously," Hollingsworth said.

    Schnatter had used the slur during a media training exercise, Forbes said. When asked how he would distance himself from racist groups, Schnatter reportedly complained that Colonel Sanders never faced a backlash for using the word. Schnatter subsequently issued a statement acknowledging the use of "inappropriate and hurtful" language.

    "Regardless of the context, I apologize," the statement said.

    The fallout from his comments continued Friday. The University of Louisville said it will remove the Papa John's name from its football stadium, and that it will rename the John H. Schnatter Center for Free Enterprise at its business college. Earlier in the week, the school said Schnatter resigned from its board of trustees.

    Major League Baseball had also said it was indefinitely suspending a promotion with Papa John's that offered people discounts at the pizza chain after a player hit a grand slam.

    Papa John's International Inc. began operations in 1984 and had more than 5,200 locations globally. The company cannot afford to alienate customers, with sales already under pressure from rivals such as Domino's. For the first three months of this year, Papa John's said a key sales figure fell 5.3 percent in North America.
