Pixelate is inspired by the undulating movement of a manta ray sliding across the air. It combines its movement and shape with modern chrome finishing and OLED light, creating an unique ele- ment. It is made combining several weaved layers of stainless steel resulting in a surface of randomly combined light and metal pixels. Each OLED panel has an independent movement, the light can directed slightly to the sides or entirely upwards. The user can rapidly shift between direct and indirect light accordingly to the desired mood and also change the original combination of OLED and metal pixels. Pixelate takes maximum advantage of the thin Lumiblade GL350 panel featuring an ultra-flat design. Its design also lends well to combine more than one Pixelate to create unique scenarios.
The first Philips ThinAir OLED luminaire comprises four Brite FL300 OLEDs.
Depending on where they are used, customers can combine as many of these units as they wish. The light is designed for use in offices and retail, and fulfils all the regulations and requirements for brightness and non-glare. In order to do so, the Brite FL300 does not illuminate at maximum brightness, instead providing only 500 lumens of light out of a possible 1,200. Dimming the lights in this way has the advantage of extending their service life, allowing them to be lit for around 50,000 hours – a good 50 years of normal use – and even then, they will only have lost around 30 percent of their original brightness.
Old and new collide in the elegant "K Blade" desk light from Italian furniture manufacturer Riva1920. The old is provided by the Kauri wood, which can only be found in New Zealand, in the swamp of the same name. After aging for around 48,000 years buried under peat, it obtains a strikingly beautiful color and grain. The new, on the other hand, comes from the lighting technology in the lamp: Riva1920 has chosen the power of the Brite Fl300 OLED for its fi rst desk light.
Emdedesign, the design studio of Frankfurt artist Thomas Emde, presents under the label OMLED a whole series of lights that places the Brite FL300 series at the at the center of the design of the light itself.
Emde set himself the task of developing an honest, pure and natural design for such a light. He deliberately wanted to avoid expensive design objects, and aimed instead to create a functional, affordable light that could get close to people without bothering them. This is why, apart from the OLED modules, the design is made almost exclusively from glass. The connection between the glass and the OLED is based on a patent pending procedure developed by emdedesign. At the same time, this merging of OLED and glass allows more light to be released. The series of lights has been designed as a standard lamp, desk lamp and a pendant lamp, each of which is available in different versions with varying numbers of OLEDs. This allows each user to select the light with the perfect size and output to suit their needs.
The "Flaps" ceiling lamp designed by the Milan based manufacturer Turnlights is a good example of both functionality and aesthetics. The ceiling lamp uses 18 GL350 OLEDs as arranged in a multi-tile system. Each OLED panel can be rotated on two axes, permitting the user to control the direction and amount of light distributed. "Flaps" provides a comprehensive lighting solution, making 360° ambient lighting possible without moving the lamp from its place. "Flaps" works perfectly in every location where elegant lighting is required – above a table, in a bar or as a reading light in the lounge. Thanks to its moveable parts and ultra-thin OLEDs, Flaps offers endless lighting possibilities with style.
Together with Audi and Philips, lighting designer and artist Michael Hammers has designed 15 OLED lights for a very special conference room: the "Win- ter Garden" at the Audi Forum Ingolstadt. The room is located in close proximity to the vehicle delivery and the com- pany's museum and is used by the Supervisory Board among others. The lights themselves are so thin that they are almost invisible from the side thanks to the OLEDs used. The light really appears to float in the air. Only the necessary power cable gives a subtle hint to the light source. Each of the 15 lamps has a frame structure of alumi- num and a stainless steel front panel in which each of the 36 Lumi- blade GL350 OLEDs are enclosed. The room is illuminated by 3,900 lumens per lamp, so in total there are about 58,000 lumens. This is so much light that additional light sources could be dispensed with. This is the first conference room worldwide to be solely illuminated by OLEDs, showing how quickly this modern lighting technology has come of age.
The Italian designer duo Pugnale & Nyleve have committed themselves to the form of the OLED light.
Several luminaires have been created under their aegis, each of which has boasted a personal touch that sets them apart from the ordinary. Take the "Cherubino", for example: a small statue of an angel sits atop two Lumiblade GL350 OLEDs mounted on a right-angle bracket, perfect for subtle bookshelf lighting. The angel itself is solid, milled aluminum. "Vittorino", on the other hand, uses four Lumiblade GL350 OLEDs that face inward instead of outward, illuminating a feather in their center. Both lights are also connected, and can be integrated without any trouble into an existing wireless lighting network (e. g. Hue) and controlled using an iOS device.
Lumiblade OLEDs have many great features, but one particularly stands out in this kinetic installation which was designed by Christopher Bauder/WHITEvoid: their thickness of just 1.8 millimeters (~ 0.07 inches). This means that for the first time moving art installations can be designed that literally cause light to float without the light source being directly visible. The smallest shape in the installation is made by the OLEDs - in this case triangles - and this is reflected in the overall form of the installation. The 36 OLEDs on each of the 24 triangular bases form a larger triangle and the final form is created by superimposed triangles. Even when it is not moving, the 5 by 6 meter (~ 16.4 by 19.7 feet) kinetic installation is impressive. However it really draws attention to itself when the 24 triangles are set in motion and more than 860 OLEDs light up the room. Computer-controlled winches allow breathtaking spectacles to be created that quickly draw an audience, for example in a large company's reception area or in an airport terminal.
After his work on Mimosa, Jason Bruges knew that his next project also had to incorporate OLEDs. The British sports car manufacturer Aston Martin commissioned him to create a light installation intended for one special purpose: the delivery of the exclusive One-77 sports car. Instead of a silk cloth covering the car, new owners are initially met with darkness and silence. Slowly, however, more than 750 OLEDs -accompanied by appropriate music - begin their play of light to gradually reveal the body of the sports car.
The largest OLED lamp in the world has been hanging in Berlin since August 2011. The luminescent piece was designed by Kardorff Ingenieure Lichtplanung and is located in an elegant and artistic venue. At over seven meters (~ 23 feet) in height, it fills the stairwell of a spiral staircase in the foyer of an administrative building in the famous Berlin street, Unter den Linden. 24 chrome aluminum frames, each containing four Lumiblade CN4 OLED modules, are stacked above each other and surround a diagonal glass centerpiece with a two-tone finish. Various colors and reflections appear, depending on the viewer's perspective. During the day the glass surface turns blue, purple and transparent, while at night it becomes a shimmering gold mirror flooded in the attractive light of 384 OLEDs.
Dominic Harris is a renowned interactive artist and lighting designer whose chosen palette of materials is lighting, inter-action design, and electronics. His 'Oled Moon Chandelier' is the first of a series of chandeliers and bespoke commissions that are based on the new OLED chandelier module. As one moves about the chandelier it at times appears to consist of nothing more than crystals balls which begin to reveal a never-ending beautiful array of crescent shapes generated by the OLEDs within. The incredible flatness of the Lumiblade OLEDs is used to great effect, except in a radical inventive step where an OLED has been embedded within a precisely turned and hand-polished acrylic sphere. This marriage of flatness and volume is responsible for the ephemeral and mesmerizing light that at times is invisible, and at other times appears larger than life.
The German designer Daniel Lorch created Moorea, the first OLED table lamp to deliver 240 lumens of light and thus to have reached a functional level. It illuminates the table powerfully and makes the potential for this exciting future technology tangible. The new adjustment mechanism has no joints. It is based on the elasticity of a thin strip of shape memory alloy, which is stretched with a nylon-reinforced power cable into the desired position. Since the power cord is an integral part of the adjustment mechanism, there is no need for a cable guide. For a quick change of direction, the light can also be rotated on its own axis. The proportions of Moorea are based on the proven dimensions of the classic banker's lamp, which can often be found on American desks and in libraries.
The "Victory" table lamp from Novaled combines innovative OLED technology and the finest materials to create a unique light design. Ultra-slim light arms incorporate Lumiblade OLEDs in a V-shape inspired by the world-famous victory sign made by the British prime minister Winston Churchill. The lamp is made from high quality full carbon fiber, a high-tech material that is not only extremely sturdy, but also allows extreme forms. Few other materials can incorporate the flatness of an OLED into a design as well as this space-age material. The "Victory" is available in different colors and with a piano lacquer or carbon fiber finish. All of the models are created with elaborate craftsmanship. The characteristic carbon pattern is as unusual and unique as a human fingerprint.
Technical details:
Material: Carbon fiber, four Lumiblade OLEDs
OLED color temperature: 3,500K / CRI ~ 80 / Light
output 120 lm
Dimensions approx. height 35 cm (13.8 in),
width 20 cm (7.9 in), depth 40cm (15.7 in) buy
Philips, Audi, Automotive Lighting, Merck and the University of Cologne concluded in July 2013 the "OLED 3D" research project promoted by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. The partners aimed to analyze and to improve the technology and the subsequent application of 3D OLEDs in automotive applications. The impressive design draft shows the multifaceted possibilities that OLEDs offer in external vehicle lighting. The result creates entirely new pioneering design possibilities for innovative OLED lighting applications in automotive engineering. For example, the OLED-3D consortium has further developed the characteristic rear light design of the Audi TT. Using these ultra-thin, large-area light sources, it has entered the third dimension of space and a totally new dimension of design.
The British architect Amanda Levete designed this elegant lamp - Edge - which contains two transparent plastic Lumiblade modules. Levete designed the lamp so that the wafer-thin OLEDs are not visible at first glance. This results in the viewer having the impression that the flat, folded steel strip produces light itself. Only the colored power cable gives a subtle hint that a light source must be hidden somewhere in Edge. The OLEDs shine light downwards, making Edge a very elegant desk or bedside lamp.
Form follows function. Or in the case of O'Leaf by Modular Lighting Instruments – the technology. The design of the lamp was inspired by organic forms – something found more and more in the world of design. What look like three plant leaves from a distance are actually three very elegant lamps, each containing a rectangular Lumiblade OLED. The O'Leaf family is available as a wall, ceiling, floor or table lamp in white or black.
Exactly 220 GL350 OLEDs were combined by Sandra Marserou and Thomas Düster, both members of the Philips design team led by Rogier van der Heide, to create a breathtaking light installation that was shown at the Light + Building 2012 fair in Frankfurt, Germany. With the OLEDs spread across five rings and set at different angles, viewers were given the impression that they were looking up into snowflakes slowly drifting to earth. Hence the name of the installation: SnowFlakes. At the end of the 'snowfall', the OLEDs all illuminated together to immerse viewers in more than 20,000 lumens of OLED light.
The British designer Jason Bruges has created a stunning OLED light installation with approximately 450 square OLEDs on behalf of Philips Lumiblade. The name: Mimosa. Bruges connected groups of five OLEDs together to form flower heads that react to the viewer using sophisticated electronics. If a hand comes near, the flower closes, and it does not open until the hand has moved away. When combined with the graduated dimming of the OLEDs, the result for the viewer is a fascinating play of light.
Rogier van der Heide is not just a lighting designer with a first-class reputation, he is also the vice president and chief design officer at Philips Lighting and designed this OLED chandelier. A total of 20 GL350 OLEDs prove that OLEDs can not only look beautiful but also deliver truly functional light. The design is reminiscent of two DNA strands wrapped around each other.
Design and technology merge in this suspended ceiling light designed by Trilux. The Obliq OLED lamp combines minimal weight with extreme stability thanks to the carbon-fibre material used to create it. Fourteen specially developed Lumiblade OLEDs form the central element, and make the design, which incorporates open spaces and organic geometrics, possible thanks to their low installation depth. There are also four high-power LED modules, two of which shine light directly and two that shine indirectly. The interplay of OLED and LED, and the resulting interaction of homogeneous and high-contrast light, creates a completely new light experience.

As in my previous post I said that currently I am having a tryst with Facebook apps. Going further I thought of setting up a local environment where I could make changes locally and see them without uploading on heroku website. I find lots of issues which finally got resolved thanks to generous guys on internet. Following their path I am sharing the complete list of instructions I followed to deploy the Facebook app locally here.First of all you need to create an app on facebook and host it on heroku website following instructions from following link.
Please bear in mind that I chose to deploy the main app locally rather than creating a dev app.If you find any problem related to ssh keys these commands may help you as they did for me.
# ssh -vT firstname.lastname@example.com
Above command checks whether a secure connections with heroku site is possible or not. If you get any errors try generating a ssh key and submitting it to heroku.
# ssh-keygen
# heroku keys:add ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
Follow my previous post to create virtual hosts, also don't forget to set facebook app id and app secret in "/etc/apache2/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf" file under VirtualHost tag as below. You can these two from Facebook app site.
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /home/ashish/savefromiad/xxxxxxxxxxxx
ServerName mycoolapp-dev.localhost
SetEnv FACEBOOK_APP_ID xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
SetEnv FACEBOOK_SECRET xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
When I tried accessing the virtual site I got a blank page. I tried searching on internet and got this error in apache error.log at "/var/log/apache2/error.log".
PHP Warning: require_once(sdk/src/facebook.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory
When checked the app directory I found that the php sdk was missing so I got that from their git repository.
and copied that under src/sdk of my app local directory.
Still I kept getting permission error so I changed the owner of the directory to www-data as below.
# chown -R www-data .
So the permission error vanished, please bear in mind that may have further repercussions but for now things worked for me. I got this help while setting up Joomla! locally so applied this here as well.
But the errors kept coming, this time like this one.
Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Facebook needs the CURL PHP extension.
So checked the php manual and from user notes installed curl and php extension as below.
# sudo apt-get install curl libcurl3 libcurl3-dev php5-curl
Even after this it didn't worked so I restarted my laptop and lo!!! it worked.
Later I noticed that this local running is not same as on heroku.Will see how to resolve and add.
Update 2:
In the mean time you could try heroku eclipse plugin http://eclipse-plugin.herokuapp.com. It greatly eases the change, commit, and test phases. Off course you would be running your actual master code
Thanks for reading and thanks to guys for helping me out. Please don't forget to share if you find this helpful.

LaSalle Generating Station Unit 1 automatically shut down at 4:35 p.m. Thursday, May 21. The plant responded as expected, safely and without incident.
MARSEILLES, Ill. (May 22, 2009) - LaSalle Generating Station Unit 1 automatically shut down at 4:35 p.m. Thursday, May 21. The plant responded as expected, safely and without incident.The cause of the shut down appears to be a failure of a lightning protection device in the plant's main transformer. That equipment failure caused a small fire in a portion of the transformer that was extinguished quickly by an automatic fire suppression system. Plant teams are investigating the cause of the transformer equipment failure. As a precaution, fire department personnel from Marseilles responded to the plant site but the fire was extinguished by the time they arrived.The LaSalle Unit 1 shutdown will not have an impact on electrical service to Exelon customers.
LaSalle County Generating Station is located approximately 75 miles southwest of Chicago. With both units at full power, the site produces more than 2,200 megawatts net, which is enough electricity for 2.3 million homes.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with approximately $19 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 485,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

The prion-transmitted disease of the central nervous system in sheep is called scrapie, and has been about since the 18th century. It does not appear to be transmissible to humans.

Take the Pledge to Stop The Stigma
It's time to stop the stigma of mental illness. And the first step to stopping it is to address the most common way we perpetuate it: the way we talk about it. Every day, we describe traffic as "insane," we say our neighbor is a "psycho" or we tell our friends that the ending of a TV show was "totally nuts." We're not trying to offend anyone, but we're helping to make these words intimidating and scary. What good is a pledge against mental health stigma? Making a statement in the form of a "pledge" spreads the message that changing attitudes can start with changing minds. Sign the Pledge now and put your mind, and your name, to stopping the stigma.

The furniture store associated with the now-defunct Junction Boyz auto body company also has gone out of business.
The Junction Inc., which catered to soldiers and sold furniture, childrens furniture and washers and dryers, closed its Seaway Plaza store several weeks ago, said Timothy R. Farrell, the plazas maintenance supervisor.
When a reporter called Tuesday, a recording stated the stores phone was temporarily disconnected. Owner Edward J. Sampson Jr. could not be reached for comment.
With the outside temperature hovering around minus 15 degrees on Tuesday and the stores windows covered in frost, Mr. Farrell said he was about to unlock the front door and go inside to turn on the heat.
I havent seen him in a long time, Mr. Farrell said of Mr. Sampson.
In September, the Watertown Industrial Center Local Development Corp. evicted Junction Boyz from its 30,000 square feet of space in the business incubator at 800 Starbuck Ave. for nonpayment. By that time, Mr. Sampson had racked up $274,370.01 in back rent, late charges, unpaid utilities and a loan for painting equipment, according to court documents.
Junction Boyz stopped paying its rent and utilities in 2010.
On Tuesday morning, the question of whether the furniture store was still open was brought up during a debate of whether the WIC board should consider a settlement offer from Mr. Sampson, who requested the board accept $30,000 from him for the back payments and allow him to move back in.
But the WIC board did not budge, although board member Nickolas W. Darling argued that $30,000 was better than not receiving any money at all from Mr. Sampson.
Mr. Darling also expressed concern about the amount in legal bills WIC has had to pay to evict Junction Boyz and take its owner to court. So far, WIC has spent about $3,000 on legal expenses associated with the situation, said William J. Soluri, the industrial centers site manager.
WIC board Chairman Donald W. Rutherford said it was too late to do any more business with Junction Boyz.
He lost all credibility with me, Mr. Rutherford said of Mr. Sampson.
The company installed car audio equipment and car starters and completed custom body work, collision repairs and paint jobs.
In the months since the eviction, WIC has started marketing the space formerly occupied by Junction Boyz. Mr. Soluri said he showed the space to an unidentified potential tenant and is waiting to hear whether the business is interested in moving into the center.
Meanwhile, Junction Boyz has failed to remove several vehicles, a golf cart, inventory and equipment from the space, Mr. Soluri said. It will be up to WICs attorney, Keith B. Coughlin, Watertown, to determine whether the board can seize the items or if Mr. Sampson will be made to remove them, Mr. Soluri said.
Last year, Mr. Sampson attributed the failure of his business to delinquent accounts from Fort Drum soldiers. He later blamed his financial troubles on his business dealings with Oak Rock Financial LLC and the loans he had for his customers with the Long Island commercial lender. He claimed Oak Rock was overcharging him millions of dollars on the loans, so he no longer could pay his rent.

WATERTOWN - The spring lunch of the Watertown Noon Rotary at the Rutland Congregational Church featured a special guest appearance by Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, who dropped by to sample some home cooking and talk about legislative issues important to the north country while Congress is in recess this week.
Following a brief update on events in Washington, questions about agriculture, immigration, cross-border fees and Fort Drums future were among those answered by Mr. Owens, who may even have learned a thing or two during his visit.
Most important lesson ... pick up the pie first, he said, alluding to the unusual protocol of the meal, which included chicken, biscuits, mashed potatoes and all the fixings.
Mr. Owens said he expected the farm bill to come before the Agricultural Committee by May 15, in accordance with the wishes of committee Chairman Frank Lucas, R-Okla., and to make it through the committee process with few changes.
He predicted the bill likely will meet significant challenges on the House floor, however.
According to Agweek.com, Mr. Lucas is planning to cut $38 billion in spending over 10 years, a measure that is supposed to make the bill more palatable to the Republican-controlled House, but a large cut in food stamp funding will make it hard for House Democrats to support the bill and complicate the chances of making a conference with the Senate.
Moving on to the 844-page immigration bill introduced two weeks ago, Mr. Owens said he would not vote for any bill that does not address farm concerns. He is seeking feedback from farmers, especially dairy farmers and orchard owners who offer seasonal work.
Mr. Owens also voiced staunch opposition to any legislation that would impose border fees on Canadian citizens traveling across the border into the United States by vehicle or on foot.
A measure included in President Obamas fiscal year 2014 budget to help reduce the national deficit would direct the commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection to conduct a study that would assess the feasibility and cost of establishing and collecting such a fee at the northern and southwestern border.
The idea also has met opposition from Rep. Peter F. Welch, D-Vt., and Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., who said the plan would be dead on arrival in the Senate.
Officials fear the measure would hamper the flow of business traffic from Canada that helps bolster the north country economy.
Opening the question-and-answer period, Jay M. Matteson, Jefferson County agricultural coordinator, asked whether the guest worker provision in the immigration bill was meeting any stumbling blocks in Congress.
Mr. Owens said his office has been receiving letters from the left and right side of the political spectrum expressing concerns the provision provides amnesty to workers who have immigrated illegally and could take away American jobs.
The bills passage depends on how badly my Republican colleagues get beat up on the amnesty issue, Mr. Owens said.
Why is it important to include a path to citizenship with the guest worker visa? Mr. Matteson asked.
With the percentage of people in favor of the bill more than 60 percent nationwide, people seem to respond to the provision, Mr. Owens said.
With 11 million people in the country illegally and about 10 percent of that number farmworkers, weve got to deal with it, Mr. Owens said.
He said the path to citizenship was a reasonable approach, provided immigrants abide by the law and pay taxes.
Farmers have been asking for a guest worker program for a long time.
Sen. Schumer, one of the bills authors, said the biggest issue farmers complain about during his visits upstate is their inability to get workers.
The agricultural theme continued with a question about whether the region is doing an effective job representing itself to other areas of the country.
Kevin J. Jordan, executive director of Cornell Cooperative Extension of Jefferson County, asked whether upstate New York was well-known around the country for agriculture.
New York is known for New York City. ... We need to do a better job talking about our strengths, marketing ourselves to the rest of the country, Mr. Owens said.
Carolyn D. Fitzpatrick, chairwoman of the Jefferson County Board of Legislators, asked about Fort Drums future.
Mr. Owens said the post would remain stable and may even grow slightly, according to what he has heard from Department of Defense officials and appropriations senior staff members.
He has heard no rumors about contractions at the post and there is also little likelihood of a base realignment and closure this year, Mr. Owens said.
Questions also came up about the sequester, which Mr. Owens said would continue for the foreseeable future; health care reform, which he said was receiving mixed reviews depending on where I am geographically in the district; diminishing funds at the U.S. Department of Agricultures Farm Service Agency and rumors of a retroactive payment plan piled on top of a $1.1 billion reduction in Medicaid funding, which Mr. Owens said he would have his staff investigate.
The question-and-answer period then petered out, with the audience seemingly satisfied for the moment with its meal and representative.
It was a sentiment Mr. Owens appeared to share.
I had the best lunch, he concluded.

Traveling the highways of America, you drive through the places where many folks in this country still live: the small towns. One of them, just off the stretch of I-40 that runs between Nashville and Knoxville in Tennessee, is a place called Lebanon.
Now, unless you're a hunter and collector of antiques, you probably haven't heard of Lebanon. But that's okay because folks in Lebanon like it just the way it is: comfortable, friendly, and a great place to come home to. No wonder Dan Evins thought it was just the place to start a business that, as it turns out, would someday become anything but small!
While working in the family gasoline business back in the late 1960s, Dan began thinking of ways to better meet the needs of folks on the road. Back then, the interstate system was still young and goods and services were hard to come by and often not to be trusted. What's more, with the rise of fast food, the little places that served up some of the real flavor of America seemed to be getting pushed out. Fast food might be a good business idea, Dan thought, but it sure wasn't such a hot eating idea. Truth is, Dan always saw mealtime as special – a time to catch up with your family, your friends, and your thoughts. Meals weren't meant to be swallowed down in three bites with a squirt of ketchup. One of Dan's stories was to tell how, at the beginning of the suppers he remembered from childhood, his mother would let the family know they could start eating by pointing to the wide variety of country vegetables spread out across the table and saying, "Well, there's the crop."
Dan began to think about all the things that would make him feel comfortable were he far from home. Things like big jars of candy and homemade jellies, pot-bellied stoves, folks who let you take your time. He thought about simple, honest country food, and a store where you could buy someone a gift that was actually worth having.
What Dan had in mind was the kind of place he'd been to hundreds of times as a boy. It was a place called the country store, something every small community once had. Out west, they called them trading posts; up north, they were general stores. Where Dan grew up, in Middle Tennessee, they were old country stores, and Dan figured maybe folks traveling on the big new highways might appreciate a clean, comfortable, relaxed place to stop in for a good meal and some shopping that would offer up unique gifts and self-indulgences, many reminiscent of America's country heritage.
As luck would have it, Dan's company owned a nice parcel of land on the outskirts of town. So with the help of a friend who was a contractor, plans were drawn up, and the first Cracker Barrel location opened on September 19, 1969.
Of course, building a country store isn't the same as being one. A lot of things would have to be just right, the two most important of which were what to serve, and who would serve it. So the corn bread came from cornmeal and an old country recipe, not a mix. Quality mattered, along with offering prices that were fair and honest. And thanks to the people who worked there, a trip to the original Cracker Barrel was a lot like a friendly visit to a neighbor's home.
Well, people liked Cracker Barrel and word got around. Pretty soon, folks were waiting in line for turnip greens, biscuits and gravy, and all the other good country cookin' that Cracker Barrel had to offer.
Naturally, it didn't take long for Dan and his investors (most of whom were local friends and associates) to see a whole lot more interstate ahead of them, and by 1977 there were 13 stores, from Tennessee clear to Georgia.
Now you might not have known it, but the early stores also sold gasoline, which makes sense since you'll recall that Dan was in the family's oil business. But when the oil embargo of the mid-seventies hit, new stores were built without the pumps. and today, we're out of the gasoline business altogether. So if you're pulling in to one of our parking lots, make sure it's just your stomach that's on empty.
As time marched on, Cracker Barrel grew, and in 1981 the company went public with its stock. That same year, it was cited in Institutions Magazine as one of the nation's foremost growth chains, while Money Magazine listed the company as one of the top ten stocks in America. Suddenly flush with praise and the loyalty of guests who seemed to have an insatiable appetite for homestyle cooking, the company's expansion had even more drive behind it.
Between 1980 and 1990, eighty-four stores opened across the country. By the end of July 1996, there were 257 Cracker Barrel locations. And today, there are over 600 stores in 42 states, all owned by a company that has no plans for franchising so that we can maintain the consistency that our guests rely upon.
In fact, even though the business has grown, the important things have all stayed pretty much the same. Dan always said the mission is Pleasing People®, which he would explain as mutual respect. So even now, the mashed potatoes are scratch-made every day, the made from scratch biscuits come served with real butter, and the unique items in the gift shop offer genuine value.
Things are likely to stay this way, too. Call it nostalgia if you want, but the goal isn't simply to recreate to a time gone by – it's to preserve it. Because the way we see it, the lifestyle of rural America isn't about where you live. It's about how you live.

Clinical/Scientific Implications
The updated results of this trial support long-term androgen ablation and radiation as the standard of care in higher risk prostate cancer patients. It is an overstatement, however, to say that the consistency of the results throughout the 5- and 10-year follow-up periods is evidence that 5 years of follow-up is adequate time for a phase III trial. As in breast cancer, late relapses of prostate cancer are certainly not uncommon, and follow-up periods of at least 10 years should be considered necessary before drawing definitive conclusions from any given prospective prostate cancer study.

Suzy was tight, divided sounded great, pretty windy that day for some reason, sun was out and blaring though. The split was totally jammed, fluff was great and technical. Then came the new song Julius , had read a few phans rants about how hoist was "so different than their older albums" and "how they were becoming poppy". This show for me turned those perceptions on their heads. Peaches, I can barely, just for my second peaches in 2011 in Charlotte and my third in St. Louis this year, only 17, 18 yrs later, love this band.
Horse>silent was beautiful with the wind blowing and the previously mentioned backdrop. When they busted into AC/DC > highway, people went crazy, had never heard either as they weren't on any of their albums and we didn't have any live shows yet.
Just great, that's why I still go to see them today almost twenty yrs later, "I'm still upside down, it's a small world"

OGDENSBURG A proposal by the state Office of Mental Health to move inpatient services out of the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center could lead to the county being required to spend more money on transportation fees.
The cost of transportation is going to be another unfunded mandate, said Charles W. Kelly, chairman of the Psychiatric Center Task Force.
The proposal by OMH would see child inpatient services moved to Utica and adult care to Syracuse. Mr. Kelly said the cost of transporting patients to those locations ultimately would fall on the county.
Patients now are assessed at Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center before being taken to the psychiatric center, Mr. Kelly said. If a patient is eligible for Medicaid and is taken to the psychiatric center, the county pays the transportation fee, said Heather Wenzel, medical services supervisor at the county Department of Social Services.
It costs about $50 for an ambulette service to transport a patient from Claxton-Hepburn to the psychiatric center, but Ms. Wenzel said if patients have to be taken to Syracuse or Utica, it could cost upwards of $400.
Thats an estimate that includes all the costs, Ms. Wenzel said, noting that the figure includes mileage.
Ogdensburg City Manager John M. Pinkerton said the Psychiatric Center Task Force is pretty confident that this is going to be an unfunded mandate, meaning that there will not be additional state aid to cover the increased transportation costs associated with the move.
Moreover, said Ms. Wenzel, its going to create an additional finical burden for the friends and family [of in-patients.]
Ms. Wenzel noted that north country residents with a loved one located in Syracuse or Utica will have a much more difficult time visiting them than if they were being treated locally.
Being so far away from family members who are inpatients will be very troubling, she said, noting the extra travel cost and the difficulty of carving out the time.
Mr. Kelly said, Its time that [the state] leveled with the people and told them the truth about just what the cost is going to be. We want the people to know the whole story.

Esophageal spasms are painful muscle contractions that affect your esophagus, the hollow tube between your throat and your stomach. Esophageal spasms can feel like sudden, severe chest pain that lasts from a few minutes to hours.
Esophageal spasms usually occur only occasionally. But for some people, the muscle contractions are frequent and can prevent food and liquids from traveling through the esophagus. Esophageal spasms can lead to chronic pain and swallowing problems.
Treatment for occasional esophageal spasms may not be necessary. But if esophageal spasms interfere with your ability to eat or drink, treatments are available.
Signs and symptoms of esophageal spasms can include:
The squeezing chest pain that esophageal spasms can cause can also be caused by a heart attack or angina. If you experience squeezing chest pain, especially if it is a new symptom, seek medical care right away to make sure it's not a heart problem.
It's not clear what causes esophageal spasms.
A healthy esophagus normally moves food into your stomach through a series of coordinated muscle contractions (peristalsis). Esophageal spasms disrupt this process by making it difficult for the muscles in the walls of your lower esophagus to coordinate in order to move food to your stomach.
Esophageal spasms may occur in two forms:
Esophageal spasms are more common in women than in men. Other factors that increase the risk of esophageal spasms include:
Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment, and what to expect from your doctor.
Some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
Don't hesitate to ask questions during your appointment.
Your doctor is likely to ask you questions about your symptoms, such as:
Based on your signs and symptoms, your doctor may recommend these tests:

Tuesday, September 29, 2009
All 11 member schools will be featured at least once during the nine-week programming schedule. The schedule opens on Friday, January 8, when UNF and new head coach Matthew Driscoll travel south to take on FGCU. One year after returning only two players, the Eagles bring back 11, including four starters. One week later, Mercer, off a 17-win season in 2008-09, takes on USC Upstate in Spartanburg, S.C. in the Spartans' first home CSS contest. Last season, the Spartans won their home contest with the Bears in a double-overtime thriller in which they stormed back from a 12-point deficit with only 3:32 remaining. The Bears make a second CSS appearance the following week, again on the road in a meeting with Stetson. In six games versus the Hatters, the Bears' James Florence has averaged 29.5 points and registered a pair of games in which he made at least seven 3-point field goals.
The fourth week of CSS contests features the conference's two intra-city rivalries. The week kicks off with a special Tuesday night contest from Nashville, Tenn., for the "Battle of the Boulevard" between Lipscomb and Belmont. For the first time since 2005, Belmont does not enter the season as the defending champion while Lipscomb, featuring the inside-outside combination of juniors Adnan Hodzic and Josh Slater, poses as one of the league's top candidates to emerge atop the standings. Three nights later, the scene shifts to Jacksonville, Fla., and the River City Rumble when UNF hosts defending regular-season champion Jacksonville. The Dolphins, off an NIT appearance, return a strong nucleus of Ben Smith, Lehmon Colbert and Ayron Hardy.
"We are extremely pleased to extend our tradition of The Atlantic Sun/CSS Friday Night Game of the Week package," said A-Sun Commissioner Ted Gumbart. "The matchups tabbed for broadcast promise to deliver exciting contests and each game provides a valuable opportunity to showcase our outstanding basketball teams, and more importantly, the dynamic member institutions in the A-Sun,"."
One week after taking on their crosstown rivals, the Dolphins and Bruins face off at the Curb Event Center. One year ago, the two met in a pair of memorable contests book-ending the conference season. In the conference opener in Jacksonville, the Dolphins stormed back from down 19 to pull out a late one-point victory. In the final regular season game of the year, the two met in Nashville with the regular-season title at stake and Jacksonville raced out to an 18-point advantage only to see Belmont rally and force overtime. The Dolphins secured the victory and the regular-season crown thanks to a final-minute 3-point field goal from Marcus Allen.
"We are happy to engage in another season of broadcasting the -Atlantic Sun Game of the Week- with CSS. Their format targets the Division I collegiate audience well for us, in some of our nation's most competitive media markets," said RMG LLC-Rights Marketing Group, President John Zarzycki. "We look forward to growing the awareness of the A-Sun, our corporate partner program and our Building Winners for Life initiative in support of the student-athletes".
ETSU, the reigning conference champions, take the CSS stage each of the next two Fridays, hosting Kennesaw State on February 12 then facing Campbell at the John W. Pope Jr. Convocation Center / Gilbert Craig Gore Arena seven days later. The Buccaneers look to rely on Mike Smith, the lone remaining member of a three-headed monster that featured him and the graduated Courtney Pigram and Kevin Tiggs. The Owls, eligible for A-Sun and NCAA postseason play for the first year look to return to the form of the three years prior to 2008-09 when they went 26-28 in A-Sun play. The Camels feature Jonathan Rodriguez, one of the nation's most prolific scorers and rebounders along with 2008-09 Freshman of the Year Lorne Merthie.
The final regular-season broadcast, set for Saturday, February 27th will feature a to-be-determined "hot game" based on matchups and postseason implications. The Atlantic Sun and CSS will also continue to partner together to bring additional regular-season women's games, rivalry games and extensive postseason coverage.
"Our partnership with the Atlantic Sun allows us to offer our viewers more of the games, conferences and teams they want to see", said Mark Fuhrman, general manager of CSS. "CSS values the long-standing relationship we have had with A-Sun".
Matt Stewart and Sonny Smith return as the voices for the broadcasts. The CSS A-Sun Game of the Week makes up just a portion of the Atlantic Sun's entire television package and other games will be added to the television schedule throughout the year. The most current television schedule is always available at www.atlanticsun.org.
The Atlantic Sun Conference is an 11-member league committed to Building Winners for Life. The A-Sun stands for achievement with integrity in both the academic and athletic arenas, with a focus on the balance between the two for our student-athletes. Headquartered in Macon, Ga., the A-Sun boasts five of the top eight media markets in the Southeast. The A-Sun includes a blend of the most dynamic and prestigious private and public institutions in the region: Belmont University, Campbell University, East Tennessee State University, Florida Gulf Coast University, Jacksonville University, Kennesaw State University, Lipscomb University, Mercer University, University of North Florida, University of South Carolina Upstate and Stetson University.
Rights Marketing Group LLC (RMG) is based in Atlanta, GA and is the exclusive marketing and media partner of the Atlantic Sun Conference. RMG works with Division I college athletic conferences and universities.
CSS is a 24-hour sports channel carrying a full slate of college sports programming lineup. With over 40 live football games, the channel offers a comprehensive sports lineup throughout the year.

The Southeastern Utah District Health Department (SEUDHD) has been working hard to provide H1N1 vaccine to CDC priority groups, with in the limited allotments of vaccine they've received. Now officials say there's enough vaccine to officially start giving vaccine to the general public.
That means H1N1 vaccine will be available during regular clinic hours at each of the offices within the four counties SEUDHD serves. SEUDHD also has limited amounts of seasonal flu vaccine available as well.
"If you have ever had the flu, you know it can knock you out - with members of your family, friends, and co-workers not far behind," said Terrie Wright, emergency response coordinator for SEUDHD. "So how can you protect yourself, especially this flu season with two influenzas circulating? Getting vaccinated is your best defense."
The H1N1 flu vaccines come in two forms for those who don't like needles. In addition to a poke people can also get it in a nasal spray.
Wright suggests that residents contact their local brank of the health department for immunization clinic hours. Clinic information may also be obtained at www.southeastuthealth.org
In addition an all day H1N1 vaccine clinic will be held at the Carbon County Fairgrounds Event Centeron Saturday, Jan. 23 from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.

CLAYTON Thousand Islands Central will once again dig deep into its rainy day fund to balance its budget for the 2013-14 school year.
Thousand Islands will apply $1,121,356 from its fund balance leaving a projected $1.6 million for the 2014-15 fiscal year to buy down its 2013-14 tax levy and keep the increase under the state-mandated tax cap.
In Thousand Islands case, the district would have to keep its levy increase at or under 3.25 percent in the next fiscal year. Otherwise, it would have to persuade 60 percent of its voters to override the tax cap, under state law.
Under the districts preliminary budget, next years total levy will be $10,863,499, up by $341,910 or 3.25 percent from this year.
This would be the second year in a row that the district is taking out $1.1 million from its fund balance to balance its budget.
District Superintendent Frank C. House said this is probably the last year the district will be able to take such a large chunk of money out of its fund balance.
Thousand Islands was facing a $516,101 budget shortfall, which was largely created by significant increases in employee benefit costs, Mr. House said.
Thousand Islands is expecting to spend more than $5.5 million in employee benefits next year an 11 percent, or $574,402, increase of this year.
The school districts total spending will be $20,395,294 unless the school board makes further changes. This would be a 4.1 percent, or $804,682, increase over this years total budget.

Dr. Kelvin K. Tang's Ratings
I just saw Dr. Tang for the first time. He was witty, polite, and (my favorite part) a teacher. He explained to me the equipment he was using--which no other Optometrist has ever bothered to do--, what it did and why it was necessary. He was excited about my results, even though I feel I have crummy eye site, which made me excited about my eyes (for the first time in 12 years!!!!)--which no other Optometrist has ever bothered to do. He gave me trial contacts, and was eager to check in with me to see how they were suiting me. He made me feel like he genuinely cares about my eyes and I would feel comfortable enough----which no other Optometrist has ever bothered to-- to call him any time to complain/compliment my new contacts lenses. I wish all my doctors were more like Dr. Tang. Thank you SO SO much! I have already recommended friends and family to him (which is a scary thing to do in general), and they've said the same thing!
