Privacy Policy and Terms Of Use
Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy is effective as of January 1, 2016.
Sign & Graphics Operations LLC ("SGO") and its affiliates, subsidiaries and designees have developed this privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") to explain our practices regarding the use and disclosure of information we may obtain from users of our Internet websites located at www.image360.com, and the related or linked websites of our Centers (as defined in the Terms of Use Agreement) (collectively, the "SGO Sites") and to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations. In this Privacy Policy, SGO or such affiliates, subsidiaries or designees are referred to collectively as "we," "us," or "our." We believe that our practices allow us to provide great offers to you, without unnecessary use or disclosure of your information. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you have questions regarding this Privacy Policy, please send an email to [email protected], or write Alliance Franchise Brands LLC, Attention: Compliance, 47585 Galleon Drive, Plymouth, Michigan 48170-2466. For each, write "Image360 Privacy Policy" in the subject line. If you do not agree with our policies, your choice is not to use or access the SGO Sites. By accessing the SGO Sites you agree to this Privacy Policy.
Collecting Information
We do not collect any personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") from individuals unless specifically provided by the individual. For example, you may voluntarily provide us with Personal Information when you purchase products or services on the SGO Sites, provide feedback on our products or services, request any offer or coupon made available on the SGO Sites, send questions, solicitations, inquires, critiques or comments to us, apply for a job online, or register for specific online programs, surveys, auctions or other transactions or activities. You are not required to provide Personal Information to access an SGO Site.
Personal Information might include: (a) contact information (e.g., name, address, phone number, date of birth and email address); (b) credit card information (e.g. credit card number); (c) information regarding certain of your preferences related to us or an SGO Site; and/or (d) information regarding how you became aware of the SGO Sites. Personal information also includes information about an individual's activities, such as information about his or her activity within an SGO Site, and demographic information, gender, geographic area, and preferences, when any of this information is linked to personal information that identifies that individual.
We may also collect and store statistics and other non-personal information about the online activities of our visitors on an aggregate basis ("Non-Personal Information"). Non-Personal Information is information that we collect about a group or category of products, services, or users that is not personally identifiable or from which individual identities are removed. It includes non-personal information such as IP Address, browser type, system type, page hits, number of visits, web pages viewed and the length of visits to the SGO Sites. We do not tie Non-Personal Information to your Personal Information.
We may collect Non-Personal Information passively using technologies such as cookies. We may use cookies to assign a unique identification to your computer. Cookies are files that your browser places on your computer's hard drive, which we may use to learn how you arrived at the SGO Sites. Cookies are also used to save and retrieve your e-mail address, password and preferences so you do not have to re-enter this information each time you visit the SGO Sites. In some cases we may track or collect information about your use of the SGO Sites by the numeric address assigned to the computer you are using (your IP address) or by the URLs that you come from or leave to. These methods also allow us to resolve server problems or administer the SGO Sites. We do not associate this information with any other Personal Information that you may have provided us. You can set your browser to refuse all or some cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. To learn how you can manage your Flash cookie settings, visit the Flash player settings page on Adobe's website. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this site may then be inaccessible or not function properly.
For reasons such as improving your experience at our SGO Sites or personalizing our SGO Sites to you (for example, providing better product recommendations or special offers that we think will interest you), we may supplement the information that you provide with information from third parties.
Do Not Track
We do not track users across the web and therefore do not respond to web browser "do not track" signals.
We do not authorize third parties to collect Personal Information from visitors of the SGO Sites for third party use without the visitor's consent.
We will not knowingly collect any Personal Information from children 17 years of age or younger. When you disclose Personal Information on the SGO Sites, you are representing to us that you are 18 years of age or older. If a person 17 years of age or younger has provided Personal Information to us, a parent or guardian should contact us at [email protected] so that we can remove such Personal Information from our active databases.
Using Your Information
We are the sole owners of all information collected on the SGO Sites. However, we are not in the business of sharing, selling, or renting any information gathered from the SGO Sites. We will not sell, share or rent the information gathered from the SGO Sites to others in ways that are different from what is disclosed in this Privacy Policy.
The Personal Information that you provide will be available to us and our agents, representatives, co-branding partners, franchisees and licensees (collectively, the "SGO Parties"), as well as SGO's trusted third-party service providers and contractors (collectively, "Third-Party Providers"). By submitting Personal Information, you grant to the SGO Parties and the Third-Party Providers a license to use such Personal Information for the purposes described in this section. Personal Information shall be used for the purposes indicated at the time you voluntarily provide such Personal Information. In addition, the SGO Parties and Third-Party Providers may also use your Personal Information, alone or in combination with the information submitted by other users, to improve the SGO Sites' navigation or infrastructure, in internal marketing analyses or reviews, and for other administrative purposes. Additionally, unless you notify us to the contrary, any SGO Party may use your Personal Information in the future to provide you with information on products, services, special offers and/or deals. If you do not wish to receive these types of communications or allow an SGO Party to use your Personal Information in such a manner, please contact us in the manner identified in the "Opt-Out" section below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are located in Canada, no SGO Party will use your Personal Information to send you information on products, services, special offers and/or deals unless you request to receive such information.
We also might use Non-Personal Information to improve your experience on the SGO Sites and to enhance the SGO Sites. By using the SGO Sites, you grant the SGO Parties and any Third Party Provider a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable (through multiple tiers) license to use, reproduce, cache, store, modify, publicly perform, publicly display, distribute and transmit such Non-Personal Information for any purpose, and waive any moral rights and publicity rights in such Non-Personal Information.
In all cases, however, any SGO Party or Third-Party Provider that has access to Personal Information or Non-Personal Information is required to use and protect such information in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy and to use such information only to carry out the activities or services they are performing for you or for us. Further, we shall limit the information provided to Third-Party Providers to that which is reasonably necessary for them to perform their functions.
If you choose to opt-out from allowing the SGO Parties to use your Personal Information in the future to provide you with special offers/marketing communications, simply click the "Opt-out" box at the time you provide Personal Information. You may also contact us directly at [email protected] Additionally, "Opt-out" instructions are contained in each special offer/marketing communication sent to you. Upon receipt and processing of an "opt-out" request, we will, within a commercially reasonable amount of time, remove your information from any listings used to provide you with special offers/marketing communications from SGO Parties in the future. Please note that we may occasionally contact you for administrative purposes even if you unsubscribe from our email list.
Controlling or Changing Your Information
You may review, change, or request the deletion of your Personal Information and preferences at any time by contacting us at [email protected] We will then take all reasonable efforts to correct or remove your Personal Information from our active database.
We take every reasonable precaution to protect your Personal Information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. When our registration/order form asks you for Personal Information, that information may be encrypted and is protected with industry-standard encryption software – SSL. If we do so, we will notify you at that time if such encryption is available. Please note, however, that no data security measures can be guaranteed to be completely effective and we cannot guaranty the safety or security of your information. You understand that your use of the SGO Sites and submission of information to us is at your own risk.
Limits on Our Abilities
Your privacy is very important to us. However, due to the existing legal and technical environment, we cannot ensure that your Personal Information will not be disclosed to third parties in ways not described in this Privacy Policy. For example, we may be forced to disclose information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. Additionally, we can (and you authorize us to) disclose any information about you to private entities, law enforcement or other government officials that we, in our sole discretion, believe is required: (a) by law; (b) to protect and/or defend our property or other legal rights; and/or (c) to protect the personal safety, or property or other legal rights of others. In any event, we cannot and do not guarantee that our franchisees, licensees, co-branding partners or other independently owned and operated Centers will follow the terms of this Privacy Policy. Therefore, if you provide information to any of these parties, such information will not be subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy. In addition, in the event that all or substantially all of our membership interest and/or assets are transferred or sold to another entity, we might transfer Personal Information and Non-Personal Information to the acquiring entity.

Antonio McKee (25-4-2 MMA, 0-0 DREAM) today told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that his announced "DREAM.17: Fight for Japan" bout with Shinya Aoki (27-5 MMA, 11-2 DREAM) has fallen through because he was unable to obtain a visa.
HDNet first announced his withdrawal via Twitter, though the reason initially wasn't revealed.
However, a DREAM representative told MMAjunkie.com he isn't buying the fighter's excuse.
"There's a travel agent in L.A. since this morning ready to get all the paperwork processed and have his visa processed by Thursday," said DREAM rep Mike Kogan. "He would have had plenty of time. So if it's a visa issue, he can get it done. If it's not, then his people need to come up with a better excuse."
DREAM.17 takes place May 29 at Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan, and serves as a fundraiser following earthquakes and a tsunami that recently ravaged the country. HDNet is expected to air the show in North America.
It's not clear if Aoki will remain on the card; as of Monday, officials hadn't announced the loss of McKee.
McKee, a former MFC champion and 41-year-old IFL vet, recently made his lone UFC appearance after posting a 15-fight unbeaten streak (14-0-1). However, he then suffered a split-decision defeat to Jacob Volkmann at UFC 125 in January and then received his promotional release. It was the California-based wrestler's first defeat in eight years.

Fatal hit-run leads to drug arrest in Springfield
Marijuana found in home of suspect
Springfield police say the pursuit of a driver involved in a fatal hit-and-run crash led to the discovery of a drug distribution operation.
Investigators say 25-year-old Mark Perez stole an SUV just before Saturday morning's crash that killed a 55-year-old Westfield woman. Police say they tracked the damaged SUV to Perez's residence and arrested him after he attempted to flee the home with a large amount of marijuana.
Authorities say a subsequent search of the home turned up more marijuana, cocaine and cash.
Perez faces charges including leaving the scene of an accident involving death. Two other people who live in the home face drugs charges.
All three are in custody pending arraignment Monday.
The identity of the woman killed in the crash wasn't immediately released.

What'll it be? Will we lead by example or force?
Now that America has settled its beef with Saddam Hussein, all eyes are turning to Syria. Top American officials have recently charged the Syrians with possessing chemical weapons, harboring leaders of the fallen Iraqi regime, and allowing Syrian "volunteers" to travel to Iraq to kill Americans. How we handle those rising tensions will provide the first clues to how the administration plans to convert our military victory in Iraq into a political one.
In the current issue of The Washington Monthly, I argued that the move against Iraq was only partly tied to Saddam's weapons of mass destruction, and even less to his supposed ties to Islamist terrorist groups. The deeper rationale was based on the belief– widely shared at the Pentagon and by Vice President Dick Cheney– that the root cause of terrorism is the Middle East's endemic autocracy, corruption, and poverty.
In a 21st-century version of the domino theory, the reasoning goes, toppling Saddam and rebuilding Iraq under American supervision could trigger a wave of democratization throughout the Middle East and help wipe out the terrorist threat at the root.
Even among the advocates of such a vision, however, there are several variations of how to make this happen. For simplicity's sake, let's call them the minimalists (who want to lead by example) and the maximalists (who want to keep changing regimes with military force or something very near to it).
In the minimalists' vision, we've already achieved our fundamental military objective– securing Iraq. The task now is to build an Iraq that is, if not a perfect democracy, then at least something close enough to it to provide a quality of life that is demonstrably preferable to that under the governments of Syria, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt.
Iraq is both literally and figuratively at the heart of the Arab world. So, over time, a democratized Iraq should undermine the legitimacy and popularity of those other regimes and lead either to their transformation or their downfall.
Having Iraqis and the rest of the Middle East embrace a democratic Iraq depends heavily on their perceptions of our aims. And using our new base in Iraq as a launching pad for new wars would only lend credence to those who argue that we are just newfangled colonialists. That's precisely what the minimalists want to avoid. So they'd much prefer to concentrate on building a democratic Iraq.
The maximalists have the same long-term objectives. But they want to achieve them much more quickly and with far greater reliance on military force. They'd like to use our base in Iraq to assume a quasi-imperial role in the region. That means using our vaunted military machine (and obvious willingness to use it) to bully the regimes in Syria and Iran into submission or dare them to risk invasion if they defy our will.
If we've already got a foothold in the region, why let Iran keep funding terrorism or Syria keep threatening Israel with its Hezbollah proxies in southern Lebanon? If Syria and Iran are ripe for democracy, why wait?
The problem is that, whichever of those approaches is preferable, we may not be in a position to choose between them. The natural trajectory will be in the direction of the maximalists. Many of the problems we'll confront in Iraq will have their origins in neighboring states, so sliding into military confrontations may prove much easier than avoiding them. Even if we avoid more invasions, it could mean the sort of get-tough approach to neighboring countries that would bollix our efforts to win the "hearts and minds" of the Arab world.
For instance, if the Syrians really are giving refuge to Saddam's henchmen or helping Arab "volunteers" make their way into Iraq, we really won't have much choice but to do whatever it takes to put a stop to it. If we don't, that American foothold in the region, meant to overawe neighboring anti-American states, could quickly turn into an American piñata, an easy target for every crackpot or bunch of fanatics who want to draw American blood without having to secure a U.S. visa.
We have to ensure that bad actors don't meddle with our reconstruction of Iraq while also avoiding the sorts of spillovers of the war that could kill our credibility with the already ambivalent populations of the Middle East. That will require the deftest mix of diplomacy and threat.
Dealing with Syria in the coming weeks will provide the first signs of whether we're up to the challenge and the first clue whether it's the minimalists or the maximalists who are running the show.

According to the Des Moines Register, the town of Altoona will be home to a 1.4-million-square-foot facility (code-named Catapult), and it will reportedly be the "most technologically advanced center in the world." Why Altoona, you ask? The city is already home to several data hubs, as its fiber-optic cable system, access to power and water utilities and affordable land are big draws for companies. Facebook will complete project Catapult in two $500 million phases, though the entire cost will reportedly ring in at $1.5 billion. The social network is also seeking wind energy production tax credits, which is no doubt connected to its Open Compute Project for promoting energy efficiency. That's all we know so far; suffice to say a center this big won't be built overnight.

For Lynch, big prize still out there in Heisman
DEKALB, Ill. (AP) — For Jordan Lynch, one big prize is still out there.
Northern Illinois' star quarterback will find out Saturday in New York if he's the Heisman Trophy winner.
Lynch was one of six finalists invited Monday to the ceremony along with overwhelming favorite Jameis Winston of Florida State and last year's winner Johnny Manziel of Texas A&M.
"I don't think it will all sink in until I actually give it time to sink in and really look back," Lynch said. "I don't think that will happen until after this season and after the last game."
Lynch led No. 24 Northern Illinois (12-1) to within a victory of a second straight BCS berth after making the Orange Bowl last season.
That possibility got doused with a 20-point loss to Bowling Green in the Mid-American Conference championship game, but the big prize still is out there for a senior who set the major college rushing record for yards rushing by a quarterback.
He found out around 4:45 p.m. Central on Monday that he was a finalist from coach Rod Carey, who asked if he felt like hanging out in New York. Lynch tweeted the news a few minutes before 1996 winner Danny Wuerffel made the announcement. By then, he had already contacted his mom Sheila — or at least made an attempt.
The problem was her phone was dead. She was working at a new job, and Lynch didn't have her office number. His dad Jim wasn't answering, either.
"So I call my house phone and try and give everyone the news and I'm still trying my mom, still no pick up," he said. "She finds out by a family friend or something like that, so it wasn't me to give her the news."
There's been plenty of good news for the Huskies with Lynch leading the way the past two years. Carey knew they were in good hands after a particularly poor practice before last season.
"He pulled up the whole offense when Coach (Dave) Doeren was done talking to the whole team," said Carey, who rose from line coach at the start of the season to offensive coordinator and head coach before the Orange Bowl. "He got after everybody and didn't get after them in a way of yelling and screaming. It was an, 'I'm embarrassed. We have too many seniors we're playing for.' It's one of those times as a coach it sends chills down your spine because you know you have something here that's pretty special."
Lynch finished seventh in the Heisman voting last year in his first season as a starter while the Huskies became the first MAC team to land in a BCS game. But with a chance to crash the party again, the Huskies came up short.
They have a date with Utah State in the Poinsettia Bowl in San Diego after being knocked out of the BCS running with that loss to Bowling Green last week, a game in which Lynch ran for 126 yards and two touchdowns and threw for 219 yards and a score. He also had two interceptions, including one in the fourth quarter that led to a TD. But despite the loss, there's no denying what Lynch has accomplished.
He's completed just over 63 percent of his passes this season while breaking his own rushing record for a major college quarterback with 1,881 yards. He ranks fourth in total offense (351 yards per game) and became only the fifth player in NCAA history with at least 20 rushing and 20 passing touchdowns in a season.
Is it enough to beat out Winston and Manziel, not to mention fellow finalists AJ McCarron of Alabama, Auburn's Tre Mason and Boston College's Andre Williams?
No MAC player has won the Heisman and the only others to be invited to the ceremony were Marshall quarterback Chad Pennington and wide receiver Randy Moss.
"I'm not going there to come in last place or second place," Lynch said. "I'm going there to win."
Win or lose, it'll be a memorable trip.
He'll be visiting New York for the first time — "The Big Apple. That's what they call it, right?" Lynch said. He's looking forward to meeting the other candidates and past winners, such as Bo Jackson. And he's happy to carry the torch for the mid-majors, for the players who were passed over or overlooked by the big boys — just like him.
Purdue and Illinois invited him to camps, but Lynch said, "I'm sure every kid gets asked to come down to camp."
Few get an invitation like this.

TOKYO – Sony has revised the PlayStation 3 again, reducing it in size but increasing its price tag in the United States.
The electronics giant revealed the new, thinner model of the company's flagship game console at a press briefing in Tokyo on Wednesday. While prices remain unchanged in Japan, U.S. customers will have to spend $270 for the 250GB model when it launches on Sept. 25 with a bundled copy of the Uncharted 3 game. The cheapest "slim" model costs $250 now.
The 500GB model, which debuts in the U.S. on Oct. 30, will cost $300.
Sony's new PlayStation 3 comes in two colors, Charcoal Black and Classic White. Sony says it is 50 percent lighter and smaller than the original PlayStation 3 that launched in 2006 for $600, and about 25 percent less bulky than the "slim" model introduced in 2009.
The redesigned PS3 comes hot on the heels of Nintendo's announcement of its release date and pricing for the Wii U console, which it will ship later this year. At 25,000 yen, Sony's PS3 will be about the same price as a basic Wii U set in Japan.
The new hardware reveal led off an afternoon of announcements from Sony Computer Entertainment Japan president Hiroshi Kawano targeting the Japanese market. He showed off two new colors for the PlayStation Vita, Cosmic Red and Sapphire Blue, both due out in Japan on Nov. 15.
The good news is that Kawano also announced a surprise price drop. The bad news is that it was for the PSP. The 9-year-old portable console, which often outsells its successor Vita, will drop from 16,800 yen (about $212) to 13,800 yen ($174) on Sept. 20.
To highlight the Vita's expanding media offerings, Kawano demonstrated a new Japanese comic-reading app due out this October. He selected a book from a virtual shelf, used his fingers to flip the pages, and pressed buttons to zoom in and jump from panel to panel. Holding the Vita upright flips the display accordingly.
Later, Sony invited veteran developer Keiji Inafune out to talk about his new "super magic action battle game" Soul Sacrifice for PlayStation Vita. Inafune apologized and revealed the game had been delayed until the spring of 2013, but said that a playable demo would be coming to Japan this winter.
Soul Sacrifice will be a major feature at the Sony booth at the Tokyo Game Show this week. Kawano said that there would be 20 demo units dedicated to showing the game.
Other software announcements included trailers for God Eater 2 (Namco Bandai's take on the Monster Hunter series), Gundam Breaker (the latest in a long line of robot combat games, and Toukiden (an original action game steeped in Japanese mythology).
All of these titles will be coming to both PSP and Vita and will include cross-platform multiplayer, so users can play with friends regardless of which version they own.
Sony also said that its "PS Plus" premium online service will be coming to PlayStation Vita in November.
The entire event was livestreamed in Japan on the video site NicoNico Douga, with a Sony staffer actually using a Vita on stage at one point to demonstrate the console's livestreaming capabilities. After the event was over, 39 percent of viewers rated today's news as "pretty good." By contrast, Nintendo's Wii U video from last week was rated "very good" by 70.3 percent of viewers.

COMFORT AND PORTABILITY -Made of soft fabric and padding, instead of hard plastics Child can continue to wear it outside of the car, or parent can easily carry it with them.
COOL AND STYLISH TO WEAR -Outward appearance mimics a space suit, which appeals more to children based on market research. Children would show off to friends, instead of feeling as if they are sitting in baby seats.
The RideSafer 3 has only one use mode, use as a vehicle belt positioner and is used only with a vehicle lap and shoulder belt.
RideSafer 3 provided in a small and large size for children 30 to 60 lbs. and 50 to 80 lbs.
When used as a vehicle belt positioner, secured with a vehicle lap and shoulder belt without a top tether, the primary function of the webbing harness system is to position and maintain the position of the lap belt low on the hips and maintain the position of the vehicle shoulder belt on the shoulder of the occupant.
The sewn webbing of the RideSafer 3 also provides the support structure for the laminated fabric panels of the vest , the laminated fabric panels are included for ease of use and to reduce the crash forces transferred to the occupant.
RideSafer 3 has dynamically tested under the dynamic test conditions prescribed in FMVSS 213 as part of their due care procedures. RideSafer3 uses the description "Tested to FMVSS 213" to advise the public that the product has been tested.
The RideSafer® 3 has only one use mode which is Lap-Shoulder Belt mode
tested to FMVSS213. This mode can be used to reposition the lap belt to the lower portion of the hip and thighs. The shoulder belt should be slid into a shoulder positioner.

DETROIT – At the beginning of the New Year, many people make resolutions to drop some pounds, quit smoking, get organized or even save money. Three weeks into the New Year, there is often a drop in your performance and you find yourself falling into bad habits.
"A lot of time you'll see people to make it through the first three or four weeks," says personal trainer Rod Gardner. Gardner is a personal trainer and owner of P-T in the D. Gardner has found that many of his clients begin slacking on their resolutions around the end of January early February.
Pauline Everette, a Detroit based life coach, uses the acronym S.M.A.R.T. when it comes to setting New Year's resolutions.
S.M.A.R.T. stands for specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time bound.
"Of the people who make the resolution, 97 percent fail and 3 percent succeed," Everette said.
Setting goals using the S.M.A.R.T. acronym can help you stick to your resolution if you're having trouble.
"We can think of ways to celebrate the victories and not spend too much time on the things that fall short of what we're trying to accomplish," Everette said.

Listen: Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should do it.
That should be abundantly clear when you see this LSU fan's yellow and purple-striped Lamborghini Gallardo. I think we can all agree that it's deeply offensive to look at, and apparently, these cops in Lafayette, La. thought so too.
Reader "Winston Smith" sent us these photos and tells us that this driver was apparently pulled over for speeding, then arrested for unknown reasons. The car was left on the block, presumably to be towed away to some impound lot where it will almost certainly be the most expensive and least tasteful car in police custody.
Lots of us are proud of our alma maters, but there is such a thing as going too far, amigo. Geaux Tigers, I guess.
Hat tip to Winston Smith!

One of the hardest jobs for most parents is to get their kids to eat vegetables. It's so challenging that there are even cookbooks dedicated to hiding veggies in meals so that children unknowingly swallow the crucial nutrients. Now, Kraft is helping parents by introducing a salad dressing product they're calling "Kraft Salad 'Frosting.'" It's part of their #LieLikeAParent campaign because the "frosting" is actually just cleverly packaged ranch dressing.
A press release about the product explains, "According to a recent study, ranch dressing is the most popular dressing in the United States, and kids will eat anything with frosting, right? It's a match made for dinnertime bliss. Now, convincing children to eat salad, broccoli and carrots may be a whole lot easier. Just add Kraft Salad 'Frosting.'"
It goes on to say, "Simple innocent lies are not only part of parenthood, but a true tactic used by parents everywhere. Kraft Salad 'Frosting' is one lie you won't feel bad telling your kids."
To help promote the "frosting," Kraft is holding a contest where parents can tweet out the best lie they've told their kid, using the hashtags #LieLikeAParent and #contest, for the chance to win some of the "frosting."
One thing to point out though is that ranch dressing has 110 calories and 11 grams of fat per every two tablespoons, while frosting like Pillsbury's Creamy Supreme has 140 calories and five grams of fat for the same amount. Of course, frosting also boasts 20 grams of sugar while ranch only has 1 gram for that serving size.
