During the first hour of National Signing Day, the Florida Gators either will have locked up the nation's No. 1 recruiting class or will have to wait to see whether Will Muschamp and Co. inks the best group in 2013.
At 7:30 a.m., DE Robert Nkemdiche, the nation's consensus No. 1 recruit, will announce his decision on ESPNU. Everyone expects Nkemdiche to sign with Ole Miss and join his older brother Denzel, who led the Rebels in tackles as a redshirt freshman linebacker.
But Nkemdiche (kem-DEE-CHEE) reportedly loved his visit to UF on Jan. 18. He also visited LSU this past weekend, seemingly a move made by a player with some doubts in the back of his mind.
Chances are the 6-foot-4, 285-pound Nkemdiche, who had 41 sacks during his career at Logan (Ga.) Grayson, will not pick the Gators.
Either way, Florida is in the thick of the race for the nation's top class, with Urban Meyer's Ohio State Buckeyes, reigning national champion Alabama and Notre Dame, writes Sentinel columnist Mike Bianchi.
The Gators have addressed pretty much every need, signing a QB, two RBs, five WRs, five OLs, five DLs, four LBs and four DBs. Coaches would have liked to have gotten another quarterback, but junior college quarterback Tanner McEvoy commited to Wisconsin on Monday.
Florida has 26 verbal commitments, including OT Tyler Moore, a transfer from Nebraska. But coaches still have a few irons in the fire, too.
At 8 a.m., DT Jay-nard Bostwick of Port St. Lucie will announce whether he has chosen Florida, Miami or Alabama.
With the loss of defensive tackles Shariff Floyd and Omar Hunter, Bostwick would be a welcome addition. He has the ability to play end in the 3-4 scheme or move inside in a 4-3 alignment.
Facing constant double-teaming at West Centennial High, he had 234 tackles, including 25 for loss, in three high school seasons.
The Gators square off with Nick Saban and Alabama for another DT, 6-foot-4, 302-pound Jarran Reed out of East Mississippi C.C.
Will Muschamp calls the SEC a "line of scrimmage league," and Reed is an immovable object in the trenches.
Reed backed out of his commitment to Ole Miss this past weekend and could see opportunity to contribute immediately at Florida as a run stopper. Last seson, he had 35 tackles, including five for loss.
Also is Florida's favor is Reed's friendships with fellow newcomer Darious Cummings and current Gators' defensive tackle Damien Jacobs. Both played with Reed at East Mississippi C.C.
The Gators are in a battle with Urban Meyer, among others, for New Smyrna Beach WR James Clark, who is expected to announce his decision at 9 a.m. The 5-10, 170-pound Clark brings speed and playmaking to a position in need of both.
The Gators lacked a big-play threat on the perimeter, while the team's wide receivers combined for just seven touchdowns in 2012. Clark scored 20 touchdowns the past two seasons and finished his senior year with 49 catches for 1,112 yards (22.7 yards per catch) and 10 touchdowns.
With offers from many major programs, Clark whittled his choice down to the Gators, Ohio State, Clemson, Northwestern and Nebraska. Clark, who visited Gainesville last weekend, said the Florida's Warrington School of Business played a big role in his decision.
Another signing-day possibility for Florida is Tashawn Bower, who is committed to Auburn but could change course because of the coaching change. LSU and Florida State also are in the mix for the 6-foot-5, 241-pound Bower.
Blessed with 4.8 speed in the 40, he made 95 tackles in 2012, including 16 for loss (11 sacks).Email Edgar Thompson at email@example.com. Read the Swamp Things blog at www.orlandosentinel.com/swampthings. Follow our UF coverage on Twitter @osgators.

New York's 8 Best Food Trucks
10 comments :
Kelvin Natural is too sweet, but I am glad you put Coolhaus on there. They, rock.ReplyDelete
Morris Truck is definitely up there. AMAZING food...grilled cheese gone gourmet.ReplyDelete
You really missed the bus on this one. For Cinnamon Snail not to make your list, you are surely unqualified to write a piece on food trucks...ReplyDeleteReplies
Where is Cinnamon Snail??! Sounds amazing. Also, I think Urban Lobster Shack beats Lukes. The Old Bay option is to die for!Delete
Cinnamon Snail changes neighborhoods every day in Manhattan but usually stick to the same day in the same hood (e.g. Flat Iron District, 21st and 5th every Thursday). They post their week's schedule on their Fbook page. Check them out.Delete
What about Uncle Gussies on 51st street and Park avenue, they have the best white sauce and the best value in the city.ReplyDelete
Cinnamon Snail for sure.ReplyDelete
Love Wafles & Dinges!ReplyDelete
Cinnamon Snail!!! How did you miss them????ReplyDelete
The Cinnamon Snail - NY's only gourmet vegan food truck - should definitely have made this list. Serving vegans and non-vegans alike, Chef and Owner Adam Sobel takes tofu, seitan and tempeh into the global whirlwhind of sriricha, tapenade, kimchi, and the results are stunning. Served on a crusty baguette or on dark toothsome salad greens, these sandwiches are bursting with flavor. But not to be missed are the countless baked goods made fresh daily - from buttery cinnamon twists to donuts (vanilla bourbon creme brulee, smores, coconut basil ...to name a few flavors), to spinach and thyme pies, it is a smorgasbord of pastry delights!ReplyDelete

Am I in the twilight zone??!! – You have got to be kidding me!!! My boyfriend and I went in here because we didn't want to go anywhere with a crowd, and it took the waitress LITERALLY 20 minutes to get to our table. I asked the older couple behind us if they had a waitress and they said they just ordered waters, so she should be here soon. She finally gets there and I ask her the happy hour deal. It was the typical pbr, bud, etc, 2 for one. I really didn't want that but being it was 2 for 1, how do I turn that down. I asked for a lime with my pbr (i know i know) and when my beer finally came, no lime, no biggie, i just asked the other girl and got one. So........it came time for my second beer. I asked her for it, and she said "I need your chip"...I looked down at the table, and there was no chip. She NEVERRRRR gave me a chip (swear on my life). She argued with me and said she did. Ok ok, so regardless, there was no chip. So I said Im sorry I dont have it. Do you want to look in my purse?? I mean really.....am i that hard up, im gonna steal a chip for a pbr!!!!n Anyway, i paid for happy hour, just ignore it and lets move on, and just please bring my other beer. OHHHH NOOOOO, I am not joking (cause I know this sounds so unrealistic)...the girl......would......not.....give....me...my...other...beer.....NO JOKE!!!! And argued with me. We are no thugs, normal people going to have some beers after work!! I have waited tables and bartended for 11 years, and I have never in my life had this horrible of service!!!! We are great tippers, she really screwed up!!!! Tall brunette, eye makeup, tattoos, nose ring. I couldnt believe it. I was pissed. I didnt get my second beer i paid for because i didnt have my gosh damn chip!!!!!!! That she never effing GAVE ME!!!!!! Ok, so she brings my check, turns around talks about me in front of me to another waitress! The check was $3.25, I gave her $3.30 and i asked her to bring my change. She looked at me, and stuck her nose up and said "Are you serious, you want 5 cents back?' I was floored. Are you seriously going to question a customer about their money....AND expect you to be worth my 5 cents when you are the worst server i have ever encountered in my life?????? REALLY?????? Mann....I would never ever ever go to this place or recommend this place to anyone!!!! It's always dead, horrible HORRIBLE horrendous service. She would rather run away customers, then just give me my second PBR????? Wow..........wow. I'm in process of getting ahold of the owner and management. But, it seems if they are allowed to act like that, they are probably all screwed up. I never did mention to her, she never brought my friggin lime!!!!
Wtf kind of place only serves 3 sodas? – My boyfriend and I went here to try some place new. We walked in, took a seat and waited 20 minutes before a waitress approached us as we were getting ready to leave. When we ordered drinks, the waitress told me they only service 3 sodas, (coke, diet coke, and sprite, I believe). I asked for a glass of water and she gave me water from the tap. It tasted awful. When we received our food, my chicken sandwich was undercooked in the center. My boyfriend said his philly steak was the worst he had. The onion rings tasted like they were deep fried with toothpaste in the middle.
I will never consider giving them a second chance.
Great staff – The waitresses were all so kind and helpful. The bartender was rude but the wait staff really took care of us. Great drink specials and overall fun time.
Horrible Service – The building is nice, but thats about it. You would think during a recession that service would at least be friendly, but the way all the staff treated our party was if we were a burden on them. It was obvious that the waitresses hated eachother, and did not want to be at work. I had asked where the restrooms were, and the short snide remark I got was " I am not your waitress". I would not ever recommend this place to anyone, especially considering how many establishments would be thrilled in these tough times to have our business.
Terrible Customer Service – Though this place might have some decent drink special, that's about it. The employees are rude and pretencious. It seems if you don't fit their idea of "cool" then you aren't worth their time. How very uncool.
Bitchy Bartenders – I have no complaints about The Bank besides the really RUDE bartenders. I purchased a V.I.P. card on a Friday that allows $2.00 drinks ALWAYS. I got there during shift change and when I went to close out my tab, they charged me full price for all my drinks. I politely explained that I had purchased the card, to which the first bartender claimed "couldn't change what he'd already ran on my credit card." Which I know if b.s., I've been a server and bartender before. So we (my friends and I) started trying to tell him this and finally I gave up and was going to just take the charges...well then a server overheard us discussing this and was like, "yeah we accept those cards," and went to see if he could do something (Props to him). Then comes in the second bitchy bartender that tells me they A. Don't sell those cards anymore B. It's not her fault that I didn't tell her I had the card when the previous bartender should have upon transferring my tab C. And got SUCH and attitude with me and my friends we REFUSE to sit at the bar from her on out... the SERVING staff is AWESOME. Don't waste your money tipping these rude-ass bartenders.
Fun Bar/Restaurant! – Although parking can sometimes be hard to find, The Bank Bar & Grill is an awesome place!! A super fun, laid-back, bar atmosphere and great food!! Delicious, big burgers at a fair price. They have some unique shots and I huge liquor list. I love it there!!
Good Times – I was at the Bank this weekend and it was a blast. The drinks are affordable and the people there are there to have fun, not just be seen. I would recommend the Bank any time you were looking for a relzxing, chill night out on the town.
Cheap beer, good eats and Colfax Ave. Who could ask for anything more? – In Short
It's been a long time since the Capitol Hill State Bank was a functional institution of finance. The torch has been passed on to the owners of Park Tavern, on 11th near Corona. The result: A place that appeals to the neighborhood and is worth making a trek to. The drink prices are a steal, and the food (burgers and bar fare) more than palatable.
disappointment – After a long trip from a warmer climate, we entered the establishment dressed for tropical weather. Soaked from a rain storm and freezing, we were seated, ordered drinks (hot chocolate for me to warm up), ordered lunch, drinks brought to the table, all by the manager on duty. While waiting for our meal, I was informed that my attire was not appropriate, specifically my xl sleeveless t-shirt, by a waitress wearing a shirt with sleeves shorter than mine. At this point we were refused service.

By J. Mac McClellan, EAA Director of Publications
The HondaJet is on display at AirVenture Oshkosh again this year, and its unique configuration draws lots and lots of attention. When most people see the light business jet they ask themselves, "Why did Honda do that?"
Building an airplane was a long-held dream of company founder Soichiro Honda, and Honda found a bright young aerodynamicist, Michimasas Fujino, to bring the aviation dream to life.
So it was Fujino who asked himself the questions. And he has spent at least two decades researching jet aerodynamics in wind tunnels and using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) computer programs to prove his ideas work.
Fujino had the relatively rare opportunity of creating a new jet from scratch. Most airplanes are evolutions of an original successful design, and choices made by the people who created the original live on for decades as the airplane morphs into new versions.
Honda set its sights on the light end of the business jet market for its first airplane. Honda is really an engine company at its core, so it designed a brand new small turbofan, the HF120, rated in the 2,000-pound thrust class to power its first airplane. Honda has teamed with GE to certify and produce the engine.
The design goals of any business jet are pretty obvious: Everyone wants the most comfortable cabin with the most space that will fly fastest and farthest for the least cost. Of course, those objectives are actually in opposition. A big cabin adds drag so you slow down and need more fuel and thus more weight and can't go as far and so on and so on. Airplane design is a series of trade-offs.
But Fujino's testing showed that he could create a larger cabin than others in the light jet field without sacrificing speed and efficiency if he used some radically different technology. The most obvious is locating the engines atop pylons mounted on the wings. Another way Honda controls drag over a large cabin is with a shape that maintains laminar flow over much of the length of the fuselage.
Other business jets mount the engines on the aft fuselage. It's a compromise like all other choices but has some advantages. The aft fuselage structure must be strong to carry loads from the vertical and horizontal tail, so the structural strength is located there to accommodate the engines. But the engines cause drag by interfering with airflow over the wing root and around the fuselage. On more recently designed jets you can see how designers have moved the engine further up on the tail cone to get more distance away from the wing root and thus interfere less.
Fujino found that he could move the engines off the fuselage and mount them atop pylons located on the wing upper surface exactly at a point where a pressure wave—early formation of a shock wave—would interact with the pylon. By carefully shaping the pylon his wind tunnel and CFD testing demonstrated the pylon could actually reduce drag by managing the formation and growth of the pressure wave.
Moving the engines to the wings allowed Fujino to carry maximum cabin cross section far aft, providing more room than a traditional design. Enough room to have a comfortable lavatory in the rear, something very much in demand in light jets.
The reason the HondaJet aft cabin is so big is that there is no need to "area rule" the fuselage. To help reduce the drag caused by the interference of the engine, engine pylon, fuselage and wing, the fuselage on other jets has to be narrowed near the engines. Often the "area rule" shape is a pronounced concave section ahead of the engines, and that takes space away from the cabin. With the engines on the wing, the interference drag is gone so the HondaJet has no need for the fuselage narrowing "area rule" shape.
The unusual shape of the forward fuselage on the HondaJet is another drag-controlling technology created by Fujino. The drooping nose of the airplane is a natural laminar flow (NLF) shape, and so is the slope of the windshield. The forward section of any jet—particularly the windshield area that engineers call the canopy—is a potentially high drag area. Air must accelerate very rapidly to pass over the nose and flow back over the canopy and under body fairing. When air accelerates over a short distance it becomes turbulent instead of maintaining a smooth laminar flow.
The unusual droop of the HondaJet nose, and its rounded shape, plus the slope and shape of the canopy help to naturally maintain laminar flow. With this NLF shape Fujino found that his larger fuselage could have the same, or perhaps even less, drag than a smaller fuselage and cabin of conventional design.
For NLF to work the shape of the manufactured airframe must be maintained within extremely close tolerances. To maintain the design's precise shape Honda uses a carbon fiber honeycomb construction technology for the fuselage. The carbon fiber materials may save some weight, but the primary objective for using composites is to absolutely control shape to maintain NLF.
The HondaJet also has an NLF wing airfoil. An NLF wing can be fairly thick, allowing for a lightweight structure and room for fuel, but its shape, and the way the shape changes across the chord, is crucial.
When you're here at AirVenture, stop by the big Honda tent and take a close look at the jet. Walk around and notice the subtle shapes of the fuselage and its fairings. Also examine the shape of the engine pylons. They're not symmetrical, but are really airfoils that Fujino designed to minimize drag as the high-speed air flowing over the wing goes around the pylons.
HondaJets that conform to the final shape and structure have been flying, and actual in-flight testing shows the airplane can meet its goals of top cruise speed of 420 knots and an IFR range with four occupants of 1,180 nm.
The HondaJet is not yet certified and in production, and there are, as with any airplane development program, challenges ahead. But when you go by and look at the airplane, and inevitably ask yourself "why did they do that," you can see that every design choice has a very good reason behind it, and represents the vision of a young aerodynamicist who is not afraid to break with convention. I'd call that innovation.

How to talk to your boss about family obligations
Your son's recital starts at 3:30 pm, but you can't leave work before 5. Your daughter's preschool calls saying she's sick and must be picked up. You have to take your mother-in-law to the airport by 6, and your boss expects you to finish paperwork before you leave.
The truth is, whether you have kids, a spouse, parents or just friends who need support, life is full of obligations.
Fortunately, today's workplaces are more flexible than those of the past, according to Antonio Vianna, instructor in the University of Phoenix MBA program and a human resource consultant.
"Companies are beginning to understand that if they want to attract and retain the high performers, they have to be compassionate about what happens in employees' lives."
Here are tips on how to juggle work and life effortlessly:
Create a plan of action before you approach your boss.
Employees have to hold up their end of the deal, Vianna says. "Demonstrate to your employer [and your colleagues] how you plan to get work done around your personal obligations," he encourages.
Akilah Bradford, a human resource manager and another instructor in the MBA program, agrees. "Your superior wants 100 percent productivity," she says. "It is important that you present a plan that ensures you will remain productive."
Consider flex time.
Bradford works in the hospitality industry and uses the nature of running a hotel to her advantage, as well as her employer's. "Because [our industry] is a 24-hour-a-day operation, flex time allows me to service customers outside of normal business hours and also serve family at home," she explains.
Set some boundaries.
While it's important to keep your supervisor informed of when you want time off, you don't have to share all the details of your personal life, Vianna notes. "Most bosses don't want to know the details anyway," he says. "Give only enough information to request the accommodation you need, and leave it at that."
Be realistic.
The bottom line: Employees need to ensure they get their work done, regardless of what's going on at home. "Working parents must understand their business, the culture of their organization, and their superiors to effectively balance work and life," Bradford explains.
Workers with unusual hours or shifts — like hospital nurses, law enforcers, retail managers and manufacturers — need to keep their expectations reasonable when asking for flexibility, according to Mary Eacott, a health care administrator and area chair of the nursing program at the University of Phoenix San Diego Campus.
If necessary, seek alternatives.
Part-time positions are an option for those with a lot of personal responsibilities, while freelance work and job-sharing arrangements are available in many industries.
Nurses and others with unusual hours should consider compressed workweeks, suggests Vicki Greenberg, a family nurse practitioner and program manager for the Division of Nursing at the University of Phoenix Southern California Campus.
Some companies even allow employees to donate unused vacation to their colleagues, according to Vianna. "The workforce is changing and will continue to change," he says, "and companies are responding accordingly."

I have a .kext that runs on OS X and would like to run it on iPhone OS for a proof of concept / demo purposes. I would like to do this on an un-jailbroken iPhone/iPad.
I've read that .kexts need signing before they will run on iPhone OS, however I am assuming the signing certificate is presumably derived from a special root certificate, as .kexts are kernel components, and I presume only Apple or chosen Apple partners are able to get a certificate and/or sign a .kext.
However, as I wish to do this for proof of concept and not distribute the app, I was wondering if its possible to get a certificate linked to a particular specifed iPhone.
Let me explain - Symbian/Nokia apps must also be signed before they will run, and thus before a Symbian app is distrubuted it must be signed with the appropriate certificate. However its possible to supply an IMEI of your device and get a certificate which will allow your app to run ONLY on the specified device according to its IMEI - this means you can develop your app and test it etc. on a specified device ahead of getting a proper certificate prior to distribution.
I was wondering if it is possible to do a similar thing with my .kext so I can run it on my iPhone?
If not, is the only alternative to use a jailbroken iPhone?
(sorry if wrong forum, just noticed there is another which seems more appropraite)

"Please remain seated with your seatbelt fastened until this plane is at a complete standstill and the seat belt signs have been turned off.""To those of you standing in the aisles, we wish you a Happy Hanukkah."
"To those who have remained in their seats, we wish you a Merry Christmas."

The vocal ensemble is one of three Reed choirs performing this week for the choral program's spring concerts.
Fresh off the performances of Rodgers and Hammerstein's "South Pacific," the vocal ensemble started rehearsing an eclectic mix of pop songs for its Thursday and Friday night shows barely three weeks ago.
"I spend a lot of time looking for the right songs for the group," choir director John Lorentzen said. "I look at it from and educational and audience perspective."
For the vocal ensemble Lorentzen chose performance quality songs, which include "Love Today" by Mika, "Love Song" by Sara Bareilles and "Joy" by Janis Ian.
"I started toss song ideas around and 'Love Today' is one that my daughter played for me on the drive back from Las Vegas."
"Love Today" and "Love Song" have been popular Billboard chart toppers but have difficult rhythms and melodies to perfect. Nevertheless, the vocal ensemble quickly catches on to the catchy tunes during a class rehearsal.
Lorentzen explained that he picked "Joy" because he felt it was a perfect graduation song, and he does have many of his talented students graduating in June.
In the Intermezzo choir, which incorporates song and dance, more than 20 seniors will graduate next months. Senior Anna Golbov used her time under Lorentzen's direction to pursue her dreams.
"I want to be on Broadway," Golbov said. " I definitely want to perform."
Golbov will be attending the San Francisco Conservatory of Music in the fall to continue her music education.
"She was born humming," said Golbov's mother, Jean Gage. "She started with voice lessons two years ago."
Golbov not only joins classmates in the vocal ensemble, but also participates in the Intermezzo choir. Intermezzo will also perform Thursday and Friday nights and will sing and dance around Reed's stage to music from "Sweeney Todd," "Hairspray" and "Mary Poppins," during which Golbov will showcase her solo abilities.
Lorentzen explained that he picked some of the song choices, such as "Sweeney Todd," because of the timeliness of the music, especially since "Sweeney Todd" was just made into a movie directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Deep.
Nevada Dance Academy instructor JoAnna Wager helped choreograph the "movements," as Lorentzen calls it, to the Broadway songs.
"The 'Sweeney Todd' medley is very complex," Lorentzen explained. He said this was the reason Wager decided to choreograph slow movements to music than actual dance moves.
Lorentzen has been directing Reed's choir for 20 years and in addition to leading the vocal ensemble and Intermezzo, he will also conduct Prima Voce during tonight's performance.
Prima Voce is an all-women choir and will sing a medley of songs from the Broadway musical, and 2006 movie, "Dreamgirls."
"It's a great new medley for women's voices," Lorentzen said.
He explained that it is difficult to find choral music to complement a woman's voice but that the "Dreamgirls" medley was perfect.
While Lorentzen directs five choirs at Reed, the three performing this week require auditions to join.
"I'm proud of the students because they sing Broadway and pop stuff but they also know choral literature," Lorentzen said of his talented teens. "It's a very broad spectrum."
Prima Voce will perform tonight at 7 p.m. in the Reed High School auditorium. Admission is $5 at the door.
The vocal ensemble and Intermezzo will perform on Thursday and Friday nights at 7 p.m. and are also $5 at the door.

Wallenda stunt ready for takeoff
Date: February 1, 2010
by: Heidi Kurpiela | A&E Editor
Downtown Sarasota office dwellers, residents and pedestrians better look up this Thursday. Circus Sarasota headliner and Guinness World Record holder Nik Wallenda will walk 600 feet across a high-wire strung between the Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota and One Watergate Condominium.
The walk is scheduled to happen around 9 a.m. Feb. 4, near the intersection of North Tamiami Trail and Ringling Boulevard. People are being encouraged to watch the stunt from parking lots surrounding the Ritz.
Like last year's downtown spectacle, in which daredevil clown Bello Nock ascended a 92-foot sway pole in Five Points Park, Wallenda's high-wire walk is intended to drum up publicity for Circus Sarasota, which opens Friday, Feb. 12. However, according to Circus Sarasota founder and Director Pedro Reis, Wallenda's stunt, performed 200 feet above street level, will "dwarf" last season's sway-pole bit.
"The crazier the better," said Reis, who received the Sarasota County Commission's blessing in December. "We want to create an event that will get national recognition,"
In 2008, Wallenda, 31, broke the Guinness Book of World Record for the longest and highest bicycle ride on a high wire when he walked 150 feet suspended 20 stories over the streets in Newark, N.J.
After reaching the end of the wire by foot, Wallenda, a Sarasota resident, returned on a bicycle. The stunt, performed off the roof of the Prudential Center in downtown Newark, was broadcast live on "The Today Show" prompting Wallenda to perform 14 skywalks this summer, including a 1,000-foot walk across the Allegheny River.
"Pedro's never done anything this big before," said Wallenda, who also holds the Guinness World Record for performing an eight-person pyramid on a high wire, performed in 2001 with his family's troupe. "I've known him my whole life and I'd do anything to help him out."
Wallenda is the great-grandson of Karl Wallenda, the founder of The Flying Wallendas. He lives in Sarasota full-time with his wife, Erendira, a trapeze artist, and their three children.

Our History
Sheffield Lanes was built in the 1940s and subsequently purchased and incorporated circa 1959 by Joe D'Agostino and Larry Turkovich. Larry & Joe worked together for many years establishing a solid league foundation.
In 1996, Larry retired and Joe became the sole proprietor. Joe's son Rick and his daughter-in-law Jeannie, worked with Joe until his death in 2000. Rick and Jeannie then began the long process of updating the center.
The summer of 2004 once again had us working. We purchased new lockers and created a locker area, and a vending / game room, we had the parking lots re-paved. But, our BIGGEST improvement in 2004 --- New Bathrooms!!
The summer of 2005 we eased up a bit - we only completed minor upgrades - Jeannie's office, floor tile behind the two counter areas and we added black lights to lanes 1 - 12 (we're hoping to hold more cosmic parties!!).
In 2007 we did extensive remodeling of the bar. Five TVs, reconfigured the bar, new bathrooms, and french doors!! WOW...you gotta check it out!
In March of 2007 we built and opened The Fallout Shelter in our lower level. At the FOS, we open mostly on the weekends and feature a wide variety of music. Live acts or DJs!
2009 brought the opening of our kitchen and the long-anticipated return of Ricky Dee's Pizza menu! Still owned by Ricky Dee, we feature many of the same items such as our famous stromboli, the Billie-Bub Super Sup, the Glenwilly Cheese Steak Boat (or sandwich) and more. We also have a wide variety of snack food such as wing-dings, chicken tenders, fries and more. Ricky Dee created a few new items...the Not Exactly Chicken Parm Sandwich and Dragon Puffs are awesome!
If you haven't been to Sheffield Lanes in awhile, you will be "bowled away" by all the changes. Stop in today for some bowling, pizza and cold beer...Life is Good!

SEIA: New Jobs Report Shows Value of Effective Public Policies
WASHINGTON, DC - Rhone Resch, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), released the following statement today after carefully reviewing The Solar Foundation's new state-by-state jobs report:
SEIA Announces Strong Support for Solar Legislation
WASHINGTON, DC – Saying it will spur billions of dollars in new investment in the U.S. economy, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) today announced its strong support for Rep. Mike Thompson's (D-CA) "commence construction" legislation, H.R. 2502, which now has 100 co-sponsors in the U.S. House of Representatives and continues to gain momentum.
SEIA Supports USTR Solar Trade Case Against India
WASHINGTON, DC - Calling it "justified and necessary," Rhone Resch, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), released the following statement today, supporting the U.S. government's decision to move forward with its World Trade Organization (WTO) case against India:
SEIA Supports Legislation Offered by Colorado, Nevada Senators

U.S.-China Trade Dispute Threatens Solar Growth
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Concerned of a ripple effect across the entire U.S. solar energy industry, Rhone Resch, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), has warned SEIA's membership that the worsening solar dispute between the United States and China threatens the future progress of solar energy in America:
Going Green in the Silver State
Nevada is being called a leader in renewable energy. And lawmakers say that's good for taxpayers.
Solar Power Captures Investors' Attention
Despite all the excitement surrounding solar energy over the last couple of decades, the technology has yet to go mainstream. However, that is slowly starting to change. Perhaps the biggest reason for the slow spread of solar energy has been the high cost associated with converting a household to take advantage of solar energy.
Taking the Spotlight: Solar Energy
Distributed generation in the form of wind, landfill gas, and cogeneration got a mention, but solar by far is attracting the most attention from cooperatives and legislators, a panel of experts told the co-op crowd. The panelists also informed co-ops that distributed generation is coming. They were told that it is best to get in front of it and that co-ops should develop their own DG projects.
Solar Energy Has Finally Arrived
Solar energy in 2013 removed its training wheels and started competing with traditional energy sources. In the fourth quarter alone, the average weighted price per watt of solar capacity installed dropped by 15%, averaging $2.59 compared to more than $6 in 2010.
Inside SolarCity: The Rise of a Hot Solar Panel Provider
CBS News
In 2013 there was a 47 percent jump in the number of home solar installations in the U.S., and by the end of the year more than 400,000 American homes had solar power. Don Dahler meets one man who uses imagination to help power the change.
With no end in sight to the federal government shutdown – and worries mounting by the minute about its impact on the U.S. economy – what can the private sector do to help spur job creation and economic growth in the future? Here's one good idea: The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) has just released a comprehensive new report outlining ways to create 50,250 new American jobs and save more than $61 billion in future energy costs by expanding the use of innovative and cost-effective solar heating and cooling (SHC) systems across the nation.
As disappointed as some local fans of the Solar Decathlon may be, it turns out this might have been a good year for the event to move out of Washington, D.C. While budget dispute clouds loom over the federal government and the Capitol, the biannual Department of Energy event is casting its own sunshine in Irvine, California.
In China, 2013 is the year of the snake. But here in the United States, this may well go down as the year of the sun. A recent market analysis by GTM Research shows the U.S. market installed 832 megawatts (MW) of new photovoltaic (PV) installations in the second quarter of this year – a whopping 15 percent increase over the first three months of 2013.
Is that a light at the end of the tunnel?
An industry proposal aimed at ending a long-running solar trade dispute between the United States and China is gaining support among key lawmakers at both the state and federal levels, including the chairmen of the U.S. Senate Finance and Budget committees.
Trade disputes often have a nasty way of becoming trade wars.
On average, the sun shines in Sacramento, California, 265 days a year. Well, it looks like even more clear skies and sunny days ahead as the state wrapped up its legislative session on a high note.
At a time of heightened tensions in the Middle East – coupled with rising gasoline prices across the United States – there is finally some good news on the energy front. America's solar energy industry is currently on pace to achieve a record-shattering year.
President Obama's recent decision to install solar panels atop the White House is just the latest example of his strong commitment to U.S. leadership in solar energy and the jobs it will create here at home.
The member companies of the Solar Energy Industries Association strongly share that commitment. Covering every aspect of the solar pipeline, they employ more than 120,000 Americans – providing savings for homeowners, power for our military and a cleaner world for future generations.
All across the United States, rooftop solar panels are popping up on homes, businesses and schools like mushrooms in a forest, and utility-scale solar projects are bringing huge amounts of clean energy into our communities. Why? Well, among other things, consumer choice in America is something that we all hold very sacred.
The U.S. solar industry is booming. "U.S. [Residential] Installation Frequency Hits One Every Four Minutes," according to a recent article in PV-tech.org. That puts the US residential solar industry on track to install 128,000 systems in 2013, according to GTM Research (Q213). We have come a long way since 2007 when I sold the first residential solar power purchase agreement to a homeowner in Redwood City, CA.

The History of Hell (Part 3) - Sermon Videos
122 views
100 Days of Preaching the Gospel #46 | with Daniel Whyte III
TEXT -- Luke 16:19-31
A Danish minister wrote a novel titled "Letters from Hell." In it a man named Otto dies in the prime of life, he goes to Hell, and then he begins to relate the torments and regrets that are the consequences of the self-centered life that he led. As Otto wanders through Hell, he also describes the fate of other lost souls who inhabit that place of torment, one of them who happens to be his own mother.
What would it be like if we were to actually receive a letter from someone who was in Hell today? What kind of effect would it have upon us? Well, today, we have something close to a letter from Hell. We have the story of a rich man who died and went to Hell. Yes, the Bible gives us the testimony that fell from the parched lips of a man burning in Hell!
1. First of all, notice with me, that after death, your arrival at your eternal destination is immediate.
2. Secondly, notice with me what the rich man took with him to Hell.
3. Thirdly, notice with me that after you die, there is no hope left.
+ Plus, listen to Walter hawkins singing "Changed" and Deitrick Haddon singing "Sinner's Prayer"

About white-nose syndrome
What is white-nose syndrome?
White-nose syndrome is a disease affecting hibernating bats. Named for the white fungus that appears on the muzzle and other body parts of hibernating bats, WNS is associated with extensive mortality of bats in eastern North America. First documented in New York in the winter of 2006-2007, WNS has spread rapidly across the eastern United States and Canada, and the fungus that causes WNS has been detected as far west as Oklahoma.
Bats with WNS exhibit uncharacteristic behavior during cold winter months, including flying outside in the day and clustering near the entrances of hibernacula. Bats have been found sick and dying in unprecedented numbers in and around caves and mines. WNS has killed more than 5.7 million bats in eastern North America. In some hibernacula, 90 to 100 percent of bats have died.
Many laboratories and state and federal biologists are investigating the cause of the bat deaths. A newly discovered fungus, Pseudogymnoascus destructans, or pd, (formerly Geomyces destructans), has been demonstrated to cause WNS. Scientists are investigating the dynamics of fungal infection and transmission, and searching for a way to control it

Fun Flower Facts
What are ideas for having flowers at work?
By now, we know the ability of flowers to instantly boost our mood. Who doesn't need that at work? Here are a few ways flowers can work overtime: Deliver flowers to a colleague's desk for an unexpected friendship surprise. Say thank you to co-workers who've put in extra time. Apologize for a missed deadline. Keep flowers on your desk just to freshen up your space. Or on Monday, pick up a bunch of flowers to keep a group space cheerful all week long.
Should I send flowers in a bud vase?
With all of the sensational flowers available to choose from, even just one or two elegant blossoms can make a big impression. Lilies, gerbera and long-stemmed roses are all exquisite choices - ask your florist what he has available.

Deciduous, Vines
Extremely fast-growing perennial vines with large, deeply lobed, toothed leaves to 6 in. long are attractive for summer screening on trellises or arbors—and one species yields the hops used in beer. Bloom comes in late summer. Male plants produce flower panicles; females bear blossoms in striking greenish spikes reminiscent of pine cones.
From many northern temperate regions of the world. This species produces the traditional flavoring for beer. The hops, or female flowers, are soft, flaky, 1 to 2-in., light green cones of bracts and blossoms that emit a fresh, piny fragrance. Bright green leaves have three to five lobes. Tender top shoots can be cooked as a vegetable.
Plants sold in nurseries are typically female; no pollenizer needed. May be offered as potted plants or as dormant roots. The roots should be planted in rich soil in early spring; set just below surface of soil with thick end up.

Fund Goal and Approach
The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation with some consideration for current income.To pursue its goal, the fund normally allocates its net assets among other mutual funds advised by The Dreyfus Corporation or its affiliates, referred to as underlying funds, that invest in a wide range of equity and fixed-income securities. The fund normally allocates 80% of its assets to the equity asset class and 20% of its assets to the fixed- income asset class by investing in underlying funds that invest primarily in equity and fixed-income securities, respectively. The fund may invest in underlying funds that invest in U.S. large-, mid- and small-cap equity securities, international equity securities, emerging markets equity securities and global equity securities, which comprise the equity asset category. The fund also may invest in underlying funds that invest in U.S. and international fixed-income securities, which comprise the fixed-income asset category.
Although an investor may achieve the same level of diversification by investing directly in a variety of Dreyfus-managed funds, the fund provides investors with a means to simplify their investment decisions by investing in a single diversified portfolio. The fund is designed for investors with high risk tolerances.
An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit. It is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency. It is not a complete investment program. The fund's share price fluctuates, sometimes dramatically, which means you could lose money.
An investment in the fund is subject to the following principal risks:
* Allocation risk. The ability of the fund to achieve its investment goal depends, in part, on the ability of the Dreyfus Investment Committee to allocate effectively the fund's assets among the underlying funds. There can be no assurance that the actual allocations will be effective in achieving the fund's investment goal. The underlying funds may not achieve their investment objectives, and their performance may be lower than that of the overall performance of the asset class the underlying funds were selected to represent. The fund typically invests in a number of different underlying funds; however, to the extent the fund invests a significant portion of its assets in a single underlying fund, the fund will be more sensitive to the risks associated with that underlying fund and any investments in which that underlying fund concentrates.
* Conflicts of interest risk. The fund's investment adviser, Dreyfus, or its affiliates may serve as investment adviser to the underlying funds. The interests of the fund on the one hand, and those of an underlying fund on the other, will not always be the same. Therefore, conflicts may arise as the investment adviser fulfills its fiduciary duty to the fund and the underlying funds. In addition, the Dreyfus Investment Committee recommends asset allocations among the underlying funds, each of which pays advisory fees at different rates to Dreyfus or its affiliates. These situations are considered by the fund's board when it reviews the asset allocations for the fund.
* Correlation risk. Although the prices of equity securities and fixed-income securities often rise and fall at different times so that a fall in the price of one may be offset by a rise in the price of the other, in down markets the prices of these securities can also fall in tandem. Because the fund invests in equity securities and fixed-income securities, it is subject to correlation risk.
The fund is subject to the same principal risks as the underlying funds in which it invests, which are summarized below. For more information regarding these and other risks of the underlying funds, see the prospectus for the specific underlying fund.
* Risks of stock investing. Stocks generally fluctuate more in value than bonds and may decline significantly over short time periods. There is the chance that stock prices overall will decline because stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising prices and falling prices. The market value of a stock may decline due to general weakness in the stock market or because of factors that affect the company or its particular industry.
* Large cap stock risk. To the extent the fund invests in large capitalization stocks, the fund may underperform funds that invest primarily in the stocks of lower quality, smaller capitalization companies during periods when the stocks of such companies are in favor.
* Small and midsize company risk. Small and midsize companies carry additional risks because the operating histories of these companies tend to be more limited, their earnings and revenues less predictable (and some companies may be experiencing significant losses), and their share prices more volatile than those of larger, more established companies. The shares of smaller companies tend to trade less frequently than those of larger, more established companies, which can adversely affect the pricing of these securities and the fund's ability to sell these securities.
* Foreign investment risk. To the extent the fund invests in foreign securities, the fund's performance will be influenced by political, social and economic factors affecting investments in foreign issuers. Special risks associated with investments in foreign issuers include exposure to currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less developed or less efficient trading markets, lack of comprehensive company information, political and economic instability and differing auditing and legal standards. Investments denominated in foreign currencies are subject to the risk that such currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar and affect the value of these investments held by the fund.
* Interest rate risk. Prices of bonds tend to move inversely with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in rates will adversely affect bond prices and, accordingly, the fund's share price. The longer the effective maturity and duration of the fund's fixed-income portfolio, the more the fund's share price is likely to react to interest rates. For example, the market price of a fixed-income security with a duration of three years would be expected to decline 3% if interest rates rose 1%. Conversely, the market price of the same security would be expected to increase 3% if interest rates fell 1%.
* Credit risk. Failure of an issuer to make timely interest or principal payments, or a decline or perception of a decline in the credit quality of a bond, can cause the bond's price to fall, potentially lowering the fund's share price. The lower a bond's credit rating, the greater the chance � in the rating agency's opinion � that the bond issuer will default or fail to meet its payment obligations. High yield ("junk") bonds involve greater credit risk, including the risk of default, than investment grade bonds, and are considered predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer's continuing ability to make principal and interest payments. The prices of high yield bonds can fall dramatically in response to bad news about the issuer or its industry, or the economy in general.
* Market sector risk. The fund may significantly overweight or underweight certain companies, industries or market sectors, which may cause the fund's performance to be more or less sensitive to developments affecting those companies, industries or sectors.
* Liquidity risk. When there is little or no active trading market for specific types of securities, it can become more difficult to sell the securities in a timely manner at or near their perceived value. In such a market, the value of such securities and the fund's share price may fall dramatically. Investments in foreign securities, particularly those of issuers located in emerging markets, tend to have greater exposure to liquidity risk than domestic securities.
Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the fund carefully before investing. Download a prospectus, or a summary prospectus, if available, that contains this and other information about the fund, and read it carefully before investing.
