FALLSTON, Md., Dec. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Mexican Hass Avocado Importers Association (MHAIA) has chosen to give back this holiday season in two rewarding ways. One initiative is to raise money on behalf of the victims of Hurricane Sandy. Avocados from Mexico is supporting City Harvest, one of the great groups providing food and support to communities that still need help getting back on their feet after Hurricane Sandy. For every Facebook engagement, from comment "likes," to shares, or Facebook wall comments on the Avocados from Mexico Facebook page in December, Avocados from Mexico will match with $1 to City Harvest, up to $25,000.

Avocados from Mexico also teamed up with Roberto Santibanez, chef and owner of Brooklyn and Manhattan's Fonda restaurants and author of Tacos, Tortas and Tamales, as part of the "'Tis the Avocado Season Sweepstakes" to surprise one lucky Avocados from Mexico fan with a trip to New York for a personalized cooking lesson with Chef Santibanez. The holiday festivities continue with the "Tis the Avocado Season Pin It to Win It" contest, where pinners can share avocado inspirations and activate a progressive prize that doubles in size with every 50 boards.
Avocado fans were able to enter the "'Tis the Avocado Season" sweepstakes November 2nd through November 15th at http://www.facebook.com/theamazingavocado. Early in the holiday season, MHAIA also teamed up with House Party to bring more holiday cheer to fans of avocados by conducting more than 1,000 house parties across the country, challenging fans to use Avocados from Mexico in new and exciting ways and inviting hosts to also enter the sweepstakes. Fans are encouraged to continue interaction on The Amazing Avocado Facebook page to increase the support for communities affected by Hurricane Sandy.
After a random drawing from all eligible entries, Brad Golden of Ogallala, Nebraska was crowned the grand prize winner. Brad traveled to New York for a cooking lesson with Chef Santibanez, who selected recipes specifically for Brad to brighten up his holiday table, including tortillas, strawberry tamales, pecan apple guacamole and Fish in Guajillo adobo.
"This was the trip of a life time, to travel to New York City during the prime time of holiday excitement," said Golden. "Cooking with Chef Roberto inspired me to be more adventurous in the kitchen and use avocados in fun new ways!
Brad took in the sites of New York City decked out in holiday lights and shared his enthusiasm for the season with Chef Santibanez.
"Since I cook with fresh, seasonal ingredients, it's always exciting to see people's reaction when they learn that Avocados from Mexico are available year-round and are a staple of the Mexican holiday table," said Chef Roberto Santibanez. "There's something especially rewarding about sharing my experience as a chef during the holiday season. It's a time to come together and cooking is a great way to do that."
While Brad was awarded the grand prize of the "'Tis the Avocado Season Sweepstakes," Avocado fans can still stay involved by keeping up with the Amazing Avocado Pinterest and Twitter pages. The Pinterest page is continuing the holiday festivities by hosting a "Pin It to Win It" contest where followers can upload images of their favorite avocado inspired recipes for a chance to win gift cards just in time for holiday shopping. In the generous spirit of the holidays, the grand prize for the "Tis the Avocado Season" Pin It to Win It contest will double with every 50 boards posted and could total up to $5,000.

Lennox- is that that bad?
I recently came across the name Lennox, Nickname most likely Lex but could also be Lenny or Knox...
Am i the only one who really likes this name? My husband thinks it sounds feminine... I worry the x makes it look a bit trendy... you know how some ppl think Z or X's are cool...
Ive only seen old posts about the name so wondering where this name fits in 2013, is it a nay or a yay?
Possible siblings would be Freya and Ivy does Lennox nn Lex look weird next to these names?
Any feed back is welcome
PS i misspelled Lennox in the poll- should have two N's.

I really like Lennox. I think there is a potential of it having a slightly trendy feel due to the X's. However, I have never met one. Go for it. I also wouldn't use a nick name.

ALLENTOWN, Pa. -- An eastern Pennsylvania judge has dismissed a contempt-of-court citation against a man who was fined $50 for wearing saggy pants in court.
The (Easton) Express-Times reports that Lehigh County Common Pleas Judge William Ford on Thursday dismissed the charge against 18-year-old Adam Dennis of Macungie.
District Judge Wayne Maura had fined Dennis $50 for his attire at a May hearing. Defense attorneys appealed, saying a criminal contempt charge was inappropriate in this case.
Attorney Kimberly Makoul cited a previous Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling that failure to stand when a judge enters doesn't support a criminal contempt conviction.
Maura's office door bears a sign directing people to "pull your pants up" and showing a cartoon of three people wearing baggy pants. He declined to comment on the ruling.

Alaska Roadtrip, Keeping It Basic
Today I was thinking about how much fun we had last summer on our roadtrip to Alaska and it dawned on me I was busy planning that trip last year at this time. Really, any trip involving many days and miles requires a planning timetable of several months instead of weeks. I read blogs, books set in the north, travel books, Alaska tourist information and maps. Definitely helpful and so exciting.
With the thought that starting early is important, I decided to post the last entry of my Alaska 2011 blog from our trip. Some of the information there might be of interest to those thinking of planning a similar trip this summer. Feel free to visit the link for additional information and pictures.
"We left on July 6th driving a 2001 Ford ¾ ton diesel pickup with 182,099 miles on the speedometer. On the back of the pickup we carried a 2005 850SC NorthStar popup pickup camper. Obviously, we saw no need to have new equipment.
We returned on August 17th after 39 days. The ending mileage was 192,102. Here is the summary.
We drove 10,002 miles, used 666.725 gallons of fuel, averaging 15.001 miles per gallon and $4.522 per gallon for diesel, for a total of $3015.00. (I converted all of Canada's metric figures to keep it equal.) I guess the reason I found these figures interesting is because I saved $3,000 for the trip but with higher fuel prices, I figured that amount would probably only pay for the fuel. Right on there!
We decided to convert $1,500 to Canadian money just to have the cash available. The rate was $1.06 American for each $1 Canadian. That amount of money paid for all fuel, camping fees and Canadian groceries except for two credit card charged fuel fills. At the border, coming home, we had enough change to buy a bottle of Crown Royal at the duty free shop. (It was a small bottle:)
I did not keep accurate records on other expenditures. However, we roughly figured how many nights we paid for camp spots, restaurant meals and misc expenses and $1,000 would almost cover it. (I don't count groceries because we have to eat at home).
So, bottom line, in this (last) summer's economy, it took close to $4,000 for the trip.
Another expense I am not counting toward the total is the cost of shipping our salmon home. It cost about $10.50 per pound. It is our salmon, the fish we actually caught. So many companies put the fish in bulk processing. I appreciate knowing how they were handled. Frozen wild-caught sockeye salmon in stores cost $6 to $7 a pound so it isn't too bad"
blindrabbit 4 years, 3 months ago
Enjoyed your trip; we did the same thing in 2006. Gone 27 days from Lawrence, Ford 250 Diesel, 10623 total miles.
Nailed Jayhawk license plate at Watson Lake, Yukon sign display; several other KUs already there! Drove the entire Alaska Highway! Saw plenty of moose, caribou, dall sheep, wolves, black and grizzly bears, woodland bison, musk ox and 1 lynx. Drove to some really remote towns in Yukon: Mayo, Faro, Keno, Dawson City! Camped 19 nights, in high top camper shell, no soft-sided tents need apply! Toured Denali but too cloudy to see Mt. McKinley! Drove up the Dalton Highway following the pipeline to above the Arctic Circle! Ran into 3 guys from Kansas in remote Yukon who were bicycling all the way to Alaska! Topped off tanks in Watson Lake, no service for next 293 km on Yukon Highway 4. Fished in Homer for salmon and halibut, 2 haibut over 100 lbs! (just babies)., Shipped back! Got the honorary cracked windshield! Took several washings to get the fine mud off the truck! Thankfully, did not see Sarah in Wasilla! Liked both Fairbanks and Anchorage!
Would do it again, but maybe ferry the truck up from Vancouver or Prince Rupert to Skagway, stopping off in Juneau, Ketchikan, Sitka and Glacier Bay!
Linda Hanney 4 years, 3 months ago
blindrabbit, great summation of your trip. We feel we should have spent a little more time north as you did. Actually think we'll do it again in a year or so and ferry the truck as well.
cigard 4 years, 3 months ago
My son and I did the same thing in 2009. We left 07/06 and returned 08/17, Didn't drive as many miles as you guys but your adventure brought back a lot of memories. The best thing I did was create a daily blog of our trip - check it out:
You'll see a lot of similar things - Homer, Soldotna, Seward, the Alskan highway. We also went on up to Denali and rafted. I had the best time a dad could have. My family has lived in Alska since 1973 and I never get tired of going up there on visits. I've been there in all the seasons - go in the summer, lots of light and fun thihgs to do.
Alaska is pretty indescribably, thank you for posting your trip. Crc

I use to do a lot of motorcycle tent camping. My freinds and I motored all through Arkansas, Missouri and little in Kansas. We use to sneer and make fun of all those Rv'ers. After this trip I'll never sleep in a tent again. RVing is a great way to travel. Your blog brought back a lot of cherished memories, thanks again.
Linda Hanney 4 years, 3 months ago
cigard, I just have to come back again to your comment. We actually have a Kwik Kamp that we pull behind our Corolla to do some low cost, surrounding state roadtrips. I'll share a little about that another time. It sounds like you could have some input there as well.

Travis Stearns' events flyers are some of the best in town (not our town sadly)
We all love a good night out (actually some of us like to be tucked up in bed by 10pm, but we don't like to talk about that) and we love a well-designed flyer. So often the pieces of paper foisted upon us as we loiter outside the pub on a Friday night are so woefully tedious that you have to wonder how on earth those responsible hope to fill a venue.
Thankfully residents of Minneapolis can avoid our promotional anguish because resident to their lovely city is Travis Stearns, graphic designer extraordinaire and creator of some of the liveliest promo flyers we've laid eyes on. Travis treats each event flyer as a visual experiment, allowing his imagination to run riot with imagery and type that begs to be engaged with, making you powerless against the event in question. If Travis did nights in London we'd be less inclined to hit the sack with a good novel quite so regularly. Maybe.

DO WE LOVE IT?: Tiny's New Blonde Streaked Box Braids
Dec 14 | by Natasha
Tameka "Tiny" Cottle debuted her brand new hair last night at Young Jeezy's release party in the ATL. Decide if we love her new box braids inside...
Tiny rolled with her husband, T.I., to Jeezy's It's Tha World mixtape party at Vanquish last night. And while she was partying it up with the likes of Drake, Ludacris, and an apparent ATL lover Robert DeNiro, she also showed off her new look.
The "Family Hustle" reality star is now rocking dark brown braids with bleach blonde highlights throughout. And it's giving us a pure 90's throwback vibe...like something she would have rocked during her Xscape days.

How to Disable "Libraries" Feature in Windows 7?
Recently we told you how to disable "Homegroup" feature in Windows 7. Today we are going to share a small trick to disable "Libraries" in Windows 7. If you are not aware of "Libraries", Libraries collect folders that are stored in different locations on your hard drive so that you can browse them in one place. Libraries help you in organizing files using metadata about the file for example owner, published date, file type, etc. Libraries icon is always visible in Windows Explorer.
After following this tutorial, "Libraries" feature will be disabled in Windows 7 and its icon will also be removed from Windows Explorer and Start Menu.
You just need to run a small Registry script to disable it. Don't worry! Its just a Registry script which will modify some key values in Windows registry to disable libraries functionality. You can use it safely without worries.
Type regedit in RUN or Start search box and press Enter. It'll open Registry Editor. Now go to following keys one by one:
Take ownership of both keys using this guide and close Registry Editor.
Download following ZIP file, extract it and run the "Disable Libraries in Windows 7.REG" file:
After running the .REG file, log off or restart your system and you'll no longer see Libraries icon in Windows Explorer:
If you don't want to disable complete "Libraries" feature but only want to remove its icon from Explorer, then run "Only Remove Libraries Icon from Windows 7 Explorer.reg" file.
PS: There is also a restore script available in the above ZIP file, in case you want to restore Libraries.

Andrew Miller continued to battle control problems on Thursday, issuing seven walks in four innings as the Memphis Redbirds beat the New Orleans Zephyrs 7-5 in Jupiter, Fla.
Miller allowed three runs on five hits and hit a batter. He struck out three while dropping his second game to Memphis in five days.
Tim Wood, optioned to New Orleans a day earlier, gave up four runs (two earned) in the sixth inning as the Redbirds built a 7-2 lead.
Jay Buente struck out two while surrendering one hit in two innings.
The offense was led by Logan Morrison and Ryan Klosterman, who each delivered two-run triples. Morrison's three-bagger in the first inning gave the Zephyrs a 2-0 lead. The Slidell native also walked twice.
Klosterman's triple was part of a three-run ninth inning that drew the Zephyrs within 7-5. Jason Delaney followed with an RBI double to score Klosterman, but the Zephyrs would get no closer.
Danny Richar doubled twice for the Zephyrs, who struck out nine times on the day.
The Zephyrs face the Buffalo Bisons on Friday, with Rick VandenHurk, getting the start.

Home > Press > Nanotherapeutics and the Vaccine Branch of the National Cancer Institute Enter Into Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA)
Nanotherapeutics, Inc. announced today that it has entered into a two year Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the Vaccine Branch of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to produce HIV peptide oral vaccine nanoparticles using the company's proprietary technology. The collaboration with NCI will employ the company's nanoparticle delivery system, which enables oral targeted delivery of macromolecules such as peptides, to facilitate oral delivery in the GI tract to improve immune response.
James D. Talton, Ph.D., President of Nanotherapeutics and co-founder of the company, is the company's principal investigator on the project. Dr. Talton said, "The CRADA marks a significant milestone for the company and an important step in the development of novel HIV vaccines. When the NCI came to us to request our help in their HIV oral vaccine project, naturally, we were excited that our technology was recognized by them and that the Vaccine Branch had chosen to collaborate with us in this vital area of HIV research and development."
Also commenting on the CRADA, Mento A. "Chuck" Soponis, Chairman and CEO of Nanotherapeutics said, "This recognition is further validation of the work Dr. Talton and our scientists have been conducting over the past several years in the area of stabilized particle-based vaccine delivery. Entering into this collaborative relationship with the NCI's Vaccine Branch, demonstrates both the scientific and competitive strength of Nanotherapeutics."
In 2005, Nanotherapeutics received funding from National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) to develop an oral nanoparticle medication to treat opiate addiction. The company also received funding from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), as part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) research program on Medical Countermeasures against Radiological and Nuclear Threats, to improve the delivery of an injectable treatment, and from Project Bioshield.
About Nanotherapeutics, Inc.
Nanotherapeutics Inc., an emerging specialty pharmaceutical company with expertise in the early-stage development of pharmaceuticals, is a privately held corporation located in Florida. The company is a provider of specialized drug delivery systems that use the company's discoveries in nanotechnology to develop novel drug therapies or improved formulations for existing therapies.

Templates: Separating Programs from Design
Luckily, we can create such hybrid Perl/HTML pages using the Text::Template Perl module, written by Mark-Jason Dominus. This module, available from CPAN at http://www.perl.com/CPAN/, allows us to take such hybrid files, evaluate the Perl parts, leave the pure HTML alone and send the results to the user's web browser. While the template module is identified as beta software and is not guaranteed to be stable, I have been using it for some time and have not encountered any problems. (I wish that I could say that about some of the commercial software that I use.) Although The template module is not designed to work exclusively with HTML pages, it is in this area that I have found it to be highly useful.
Templates are pages of HTML that contain zero or more pieces of Perl code. (Thus, a plain HTML file is also a template, although such files don't do anything special.) The Perl code is contained inside the curly braces that Perl uses to identify blocks within programs. For example, here is one template that displays the time of day as recorded on the server:
  <Title>Welcome to our site</Title>
Welcome to our site!The time is now {localtime;} </>P
At first glance, the above template appears to be HTML and nothing more. If you look within the curly braces ({ }), you will see Perl code hiding there. In this particular case, we have used the Perl function "localtime", which prints out the time and date using the standard Unix format.
Because the above file looks and acts like HTML—it is HTML, after all, except for the Perl code—we can give it to our designers, who can change the layout in any way they might like. If they wish to insert an image before/after the time or if they wish to center the time of day, they can do so by using the familiar HTML tags. The site's programmers merely have to stress the importance of not modifying the text contained within the curly braces, which should be off-limits to them. By the same token, the site's programmers should only modify the code contained within the curly braces, since that is the portion for which they are responsible.
By using templates, we get the best of both worlds. Pages can contain programs, and thus, can modify their output depending on circumstances, while styling is still determined by the HTML surrounding the blocks of code.
Writing templates is admittedly something that takes a bit of time to grasp; however, the principles of writing templates are easy to understand. As mentioned above, anything within curly braces is considered to be Perl code and is replaced by the results of its evaluation. Thus, the expression:
{ 2 + 2; }
returns 4, and the expression:
{ $browser = $ENV{"HTTP_USER_AGENT"}; $outputstring = "
You are using \"$browser\" as your browser.
\n"; }returns a string telling the user which browser he is using, bracketed by HTML "paragraph" tags.
It is also possible to make calculations in one block of Perl and to use the results of those calculations in a later block. Thus, we can create the following:
  <Title>Welcome to our site</Title>  { $time = localtime; $browser = $ENV{"HTTP_USER_AGENT"}; }
Welcome to our site! The time is now { $time; }

You are using {$browser;} to view our site.

In this code, we use the first block of Perl to assign variables needed in the rest of the template. It might seem a bit contrived but can be of great help when creating large, complicated templates to set up a number of variables in the first block and then to refer to them in subsequent blocks.
If we are not careful when writing blocks of code, we can accidentally insert some extraneous characters into our resulting page of HTML. In the above example, the first block of code assigns values to variables. The code block itself returns the value of $browser, since that was the last variable assignment. In other words, our users see the name of their browser twice—once where the first block sits and the second, where we might expect to see it, in the third Perl block.
In order to avoid such problems, I generally use a variable named $outputstring, which is used solely for the purpose of sending output to the resulting page of HTML. At the beginning of each block, I assign $outputstring the empty string (""), ensuring that it is not tainted by values from previous blocks. The last line of each block is then set to $outputstring;, which evaluates to the value of $outputstring and is sent to the user's browser. In between these two uses of $outputstring I can perform any calculations that I want—and anything that I want to send to the user is simply concatenated onto the current value of $outputstring.
Since CGI variables are actually environment variables and child processes inherit environment variables from their parents, we can also access CGI variables from within our templates. We have already seen this in the above examples, when we retrieve $ENV{"HTTP_USER_AGENT"}, which should return the identifying string that web browsers send to web servers along with their document requests.
Because the code inside templates is full-blown Perl, we can use all of the techniques and code that we ordinarily use, including the use of library modules for databases, centralized libraries of code, and just about anything else available.
Of course, you need to be sure that your code is debugged before releasing it on an unsuspecting public. It is quite embarrassing to create a template and put it out in a public area of your web site, only to discover a bug that causes the entire template to crash. Actually, the template won't crash; the template module is smart enough to catch problems and point them out on the resulting page of HTML. Debugging templates can be tricky, so be sure to allocate additional testing and debugging time whenever you use templates rather than straight CGI programs.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

In my first post in this series, I discussed the underpinning principles of all DevOps patterns as eloquently stated by Gene Kim, author of "The Phoenix Project." In this post I'd like to dig a little deeper into The First Way. As a refresher:
The First Way: Systems Thinking - This Way stresses the performance of the entire system of value delivery. Instead of becoming laser focused on the part of the process for which an individual or team is responsible, the individual or team works to understand the entire process from requirements generation to customer delivery. The goal is to eliminate the delivery impediments that arise when a project transitions from one isolated silo to another. Understanding the entire system allows business, development, and operations to work towards a common goal in a consistent manner.
When we started Datical, our first step was to perform extensive market validation. We quickly learned that database schema management was going to be tough nut to crack. In the scores of conversations we had with people throughout the ALM spectrum, we learned that the process for managing and updating the database schema that supports an application was at best murky and at worst a black box. So how do we elevate a process owned and understood by a few people in an organization to the level of visibility required to understand that process as part of a larger system?
What follows is a list of concepts pertaining to System Thinking that we've rallied around in providing our database change management solution Datical DB. Instead of the black box, database change management can become a transparent and flexible part of your value delivery system.
Start With Reality
When beginning a new project based on previous development, don't rely on a stack of SQL scripts on a file server or even in a source code control system. As you know, databases evolve over time and sometimes out of process changes happen. When a database schema is modified to resolve an error condition or performance degradation, these alterations are usually handled in a support ticketing system. You can never be certain that they were added to the stack of scripts used to build out a fresh environment. In light of this, any database change management solution should start by generating a baseline from the working system: your production schema. This ensures that design and development activity are taking into account not only those schema objects generated in Dev, but also those which originated in other stops in the system.
Don't Script! Model!
To keep this blog post short(er) I'll point you now to a blog post I wrote a few months ago on modelling vs. scripting.
Version Twice, Deploy Once
The first level of versioning any database change management tool should provide is versioning of the gold standard. Versioning the scripts or model that you use to build a fresh database instance for your application provides a ton of benefits. You can track how your schema has evolved over time and across releases, you can tightly couple a schema definition to the version of the application it supports using the same branch/tag/merge workflow that you use for your application code, and you can quickly stand up a new database instance that you know is correct for any released version or experimental branch you are working in. The second level of versioning takes place in each database instance. Tracking the version of the schema deployed on a specific instance makes deployment and troubleshooting much easier. Will this application build work with the schema on this instance? What changes need to be applied to this database to catch it up to the latest version? Were the right changes applied to this test database to validate a closed defect? If you are tracking the individual changes applied in a database and the impetus for those changes, these questions can be answered quickly and easily.
Unify Your Modes of Delivery
We've found that a lot of uncertainty was generated when database updates were handled by several individuals using their own tools and methods to affect the required changes. To remove this uncertainty, all database change must be executed using the same tools and processes across departments and individuals. The tricky part: a continuous integration system has different requirements than a developer working iteratively or a DBA processing a batch of changes in a headless environment during a maintenance window. In order to unify your database change process, the solution you use should be accessible to all of these individuals while maintaining the consistency of deployment activities. That's why Datical DB provides a rich GUI experience for developers that helps them craft & deploy changes in dev environments; tight integrations with popular build and release automation frameworks that preserve the frameworks' workflows while providing Datical DB functionality; and a command line interface that allows users in headless environments to deploy changes in the exact same manner that the GUI or a 3rd-party integration would. By unifying the modes of delivery you are constantly testing your release practices. By the time the production push rolls around, your system works.

We highly recommend this wonderful service! We received our order on time and a prompt call confirming delivery. Everything was in perfect order and they coordinated nicely with our resort staff in keeping it chilled at the front desk until we arrived.
Excellent choice to get ready for vacations ! I really like the service and the products.
It was great to order everything we needed and have it delivered right to our room! Great selection, very little effort and everything we needed was there for us, even fresh fruit, love this service!
