Behavioral-based interviewing may be a method of reducing not only the risk of violence in the workplace but also the risk of expenses related to hiring the wrong person, writes Kathleen Bonczyk. By having candidates discuss how they have reacted under stressful work scenarios or dealt with frustration, hiring managers may be able to ascertain clues regarding their temperament.
Students at Judkins Middle School in Pismo Beach, Calif., are using iPads instead of pencil and paper to do math, and students and educators say the device helps with engagement, especially for reluctant math learners. "They put forth 10 times the amount of effort," said Kristi Fuller, a pre-algebra, leadership and algebra skills teacher.
Should the current push against media violence lead to a pushback from the TV viewing public, the programming landscape, including hard news, could be dramatically altered, Wayne Friedman writes. "[Y]ou'll be seeing a lot more singing competitions, straight-ahead comedies, harmless primetime soaps about musicals or other workplace scenarios, and news," he writes. "Zombies? Nope. Gang-related story lines? Nope. News stories about errant violent acts in your neighborhood? Maybe not so much either."
A recent shooting in Connecticut serves as a reminder of the possibility of workplace violence after an employee is let go. Experts say employers need to have employee dismissal plans in place to deal with the potential for retaliation by a worker. For example, security officers may be needed, and managers should be better trained to handle potential conflict. "Your actions and words need to be crafted such that they don't further inflame the situation," says Jim Francis, a security consultant.
In a recent report, the FCC asked Congress to take a closer look at violence on TV, including a law that would allow the FCC to enforce a standard for excessive violent programming. The Wall Street Journal asked former FCC commissioner Gloria Tristani to debate the merits of the FCC proposal with "Law & Order" executive producer Rene Balcer.

A Public Empire: Property and the Quest for the Common Good in Imperial Russia (Princeton Univ. Press)
This extraordinary, deeply researched study discovers the "public things" of Imperial Russia through its 19th-century debates over property rights. Liberal politicians and professional experts sought to secure a "public empire" between private property and the state via rivers and forests, minerals and icons, literary manuscripts and historical monuments. A compelling, profoundly original work of scholarship, this book deepens and complicates our understanding of how a public domain developed in modern Europe.

I took over a lease for a Studio/1 Bedroom apartment at the element January 2016. It was a little rocky getting the unit, but they were changing management at the time, so I forgive them. :) Once I had the apartment it was great. There are fantastic amenities. The service was good, and they the location and prices are unbeatable for what you get in the unit. It's great for students or young professionals like me needing a place in the city short term or long term. I had a change in jobs and had to move out of Sacramento, but if I moved back to the city I would definitely consider living there again.

I have never hated living in a place so much. They have lost my packages multiple time. They don't know how to communicate. They have the worst service I have ever received. The rent is way to high for this service. I've stayed her for 3 years because my mom doesn't want me to move. But this year is the last one. I can no longer deal with this place. If you have other options, choose those.

Management is unresponsive I have called left 5+ message and sent an email. They sent me a bill after move out, but they won't justify it by returning my calls.

DO NOT STAY HERE!. This complex will say anything to get you to sign. I.E. before signing my lease in 2008 I spoke with management about painting one of the walls in the apartment to make a "more homely" and they told me that it would be perfectly fine as long as I painted it back before I left (I agreed). After living there for about 2 months, I was on vacation and decided to listen to my voicemail during a layover at the airport and received a message stating that during a routine maintenance check they noticed I painted one of my walls. They now stated that this is not allowed and said they have already painted it back to original color and that I was responsible for paying them $200 for doing so (I was only gone 3 days and could have done so for 5 dollars as it only took a quart of paint to color the wall in the first place). Very aggravating but I decided to fork up the fee to preserve my credit in the future. Upon leaving this place (only stayed here 6 months) I go through the usual walk through, all is well and everything is completed. I speak to management once again before leaving asking if I owed anything else before leaving (moving 4 hours south) and they checked and assured me that everything was paid in full and that I owed nothing. Left the premise and went on with my life for 6 years....6 Years, and I find out that in 2014, I have been sent to collections for $197 dollars. 6 Years, not a call, not a letter, no form of communication (my phone number has not changed in 16 years) that I owed money which I was assured would not happen. I have no idea what it is for but the big 3 credit companies don't ask questions before destroying your credit. I would avoid this place at all costs. Not only will you be treated poorly whilst living there, they will haunt you for more than half a decade (who knows when this will be resolved) after you leave.

This apartment housing offers great amenities suitable for students. This place is always clean and well maintained and the staff of very friendly. its very close to Sacramento State and target is right across the street. having a computer room and a gym and also a shuttle to campus is definitely a plus in my book.

I've lived here for two years and haven't had a problem. Target is right across the street and Sac State is a fifteen minute walk if you decided to not take their shuttle. I personally like living here and will continue to do so until I graduate.The grounds are nice and well maintained and the staff is nice and helpful. It is expensive but you get what you pay for, fully furnished, kitchen appliances included, internet, cable, etc.

DO NOT LIVE HERE. YOU WILL GET SCREWED. First of all, $595 a month (not including smud and PG&E) is way too much for the room you get (I live in a 4x2). The gym is awful, the computer lab always seems to be out of ink. The staff never really seems to be doing much, but apparently they're too busy to change the ink frequently and too busy to really care about your apartment issues (They'll always tell you to write a stupid statement or something). Angela seems like she'll charge you for everything. Mind you the staff are a bunch of college students, so there you go. When my roommates and I went to sign the lease, nobody clarified that dogs were not allowed in the 3 or 4 bedroom units. (This was the only reason why I wanted to live here). Their website says Pet Friendly - breed restrictions, 40lbs and under, pet fee applies- but says nothing about the 1 or 2 bedroom units only. In the lease agreement you sign, it says NOTHING about pets at all. If you call and tell them you were told pets were allowed, they'll tell you that oral agreements do not count towards your lease agreement, followed by "It's in our company policy." They're company policy states NO DOGS ARE ALLOWED ON THE PREMISES. No dogs are allowed on the premises, yet there is a field with a nice little poop station in the middle of the complex. So who are they to pick and choose who gets to have pets? I asked the manager this and she stated that The Element is owned by some other company and that the policy applies to other structures.. or some stupid story she gave me. I snuck my dog in and one of my roommates told the management that I had a "large dog" (she was only 24lbs), hence I needed to get rid of her. Funny thing is, my roommate also had a dog at the time, but management said that she was keeping it in someone else's apartment. My question: Who is paying for the pet deposit? Whoever's dog it is should be paying it, no? And she can't be paying for it under someone else's room, because that would mean that two people are occupying that space (violating the lease agreement). And if the person under the lease is paying for the dog, they know it's my roommate's because my roommate TOLD them it was hers. Interesting... Needless to say, I received a piece of paper saying I needed to get rid of the dog and that I was in violation of my lease agreement (Paragraph 16 to be exact). Go look at the lease agreement: It's a paragraph about maintenance, not pets. The staff here really feels like they're above the law. Did I mention that maintenance came into our apartment without notice? Management said it was for a work order, but the work order was taken care of a week prior. I brought all of this to the manager's attention, and her response, "I don't know what point you're trying to make." Management is completely stupid. They'll take advantage if you don't read the contract carefully and ask questions. Have someone there with you who knows a thing or two about contracts. Don't make the same mistake I did.

worst place in Sacremento , Staff rude, Ask a question, they say you must write a letter, ask about charges, write a letter, They never return a deposit, and will not give an accounting oF reason for charges.

District 10 teams court tough competition
The PIAA playoffs present quite a challenge for District 10 basketball teams.
When state tournament action opens this weekend, Erie County teams in particular will face a tough road.
As Tom Reisenweber documented in today's preview story, 19 D-10 teams, including 11 from Erie County, advanced to the PIAA playoffs, which tip off tonight throughout the state. Of those Erie County qualifiers, only three are D-10 champions.
That means most area teams will be face heavy travel this weekend against solid seeds from other districts. As a result, it will be a challenge for many of them to pick up opening-round wins.
Of course, sometimes a tough early game can be a good thing. If a team earns a win against a strong opponent in the first round, that can provide momentum into the second round and beyond.
Erie teams have had a solid history of advancing deep into the PIAA playoffs. Several girls teams have excelled, especially Villa Maria and Mercyhurst Prep, who have won several titles in the past dozen years. However, since Villa's state title in 2011, no D-10 or Erie County boys or girls team has advanced to a PIAA championship game.
The competition among boys teams in particular has become much tougher, thanks to the eastern powers that fill much of the PIAA brackets because of the large number of schools competing from the Philadelphia area. WPIAL teams also are formidable foes.
As the PIAA playoffs open, no District 10 team -- boys or girls -- is ranked among the top four in the state. As a result, any team that makes a run as far as even the semifinals could be considered a surprise, at least according to those ranking the teams. Among the boys rankings, Class AA West Middlesex (No. 7) and Fairview (No. 8) are the only D-10 teams ranked among the top 10.
So, the challenge is clear for District 10 and Erie County. If the area hopes to have a state championship team -- or even a finalist -- that team will have to pull off a few upsets and make a spirited run through tough playoff fields.
Starting tonight, we'll find out if a District 10 program is up to that challenge.
Check out previews of today's games.

The PIAA wrestling championships continue today at the Giant Center in Hershey. Follow the progress of all District 10 wrestlers all weekend on the Varsity blog.

Yahoo has embarked on an ad strategy based on that most elusive of online goals: building a "community" around a particular topic. It's planning 100 Web sites, each around one hot entertainment brand, fueled by its social networking and content tools.
Called Brand Universe, Yahoo launched its first site, around the Nintendo Wii video-game console, and by July it will launch ones centered on the Harry Potter books, video games Halo and The Sims, TV shows Lost and The Office, and Transformers toys. Yahoo's betting social networking and content aggregation can drive the sites, with little original content and no official brand tie-ins, and that advertisers will like the focus. "We can speak to a particular audience," says Sean Atkins, a Yahoo exec working on the effort.
It faces an uphill battle, though, in drawing site visitors. "It's a good idea from an advertising perspective," says Forrester analyst Charlene Li, "but how are you going to get visitors there?"

The fallout from the Bernard Madoff scandal continues, with several local nonprofits potentially facing gaps in their budgets as a result of an alleged multibillion-dollar pyramid scheme.
The groups - including the Pew Charitable Trusts and the Juvenile Law Center - were partly funded by two foundations that have gone belly-up because the philanthropies' assets were managed by Madoff.
Rebecca Rimel, Pew's president and chief executive officer, said the nonprofit would lose about $3 million pledged by the JEHT Foundation, a New York-based foundation that worked on justice and election issues.

"Brad is the money. He would have no problem playing in the SPL right now. There's no doubt Brad can be the next big American goalkeeper to play in Europe. I've nothing against Brad Friedel or Tim Howard, but this guy is a great size and is a fantastic athlete, as well. He throws himself about, he's really brave and he already has some good international experience. He played really well in a game against Sweden last weekend and that clean sheet raised his profile further. No disrespect, but if you are performing well on the international stage, then I'm pretty sure you can handle playing in Scotland."

Federal government approves first deep-water drilling permit in Gulf
After over eight months of no deep-water drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, the U.S. has approved the first permit for deep-water drilling in the region.
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement announced Monday that Noble Energy Inc. was issued a permit to continue work on well about 70 miles southeast of Venice, La.
Noble began drilling the well four days before the Deepwater Horizon well exploded. Drilling activity was suspended on June 12 under a moratorium the U.S. placed on exploration in waters deeper than 500 feet. When the moratorium was lifted in October many thought it wouldn't be long before it would be business as usual in the Gulf, but no new permits were issued. The U.S. has approved 37 other drilling permits since lifting the moratorium, but they were all in shallow water.
Regulators began feeling increased pressure from the oil industry and lawmakers alike to get drilling projects started again in the Gulf while ensure that new safeguards were in place.
Noble received its permit after demonstrating it is capable of containing a well blowout, according to Director Michael Bromwich. The company contracted the Helix Well Containment Group to use its emergency capping stack to stop the flow of oil in case it loses control of a well.
A consortium led by Exxon Mobil Corp. is offering another emergency containment solution as announced earlier this month.
"We expect further deep-water permits to be approved in the coming weeks and months based on the same process that led to the approval of this permit," said Bromwich.

Packages in Visual Studio TemplatesPage generated on 9/25/2016
NuGet supports adding NuGet packages to Visual Studio project templates and item templates. When Visual Studio creates a project using a template that contains these NuGet packages, the resulting project will have these packages installed.
This is useful when you want your project/item template to reference a library(e.g. JSON.NET or EntityFramework). For example, project templates for ASP.NET MVC 3 include jQuery, Modernizr and other nuget packages.
This provides a better experience for end-users who can easily update the nuget packages installed by the project/item template long after the template has shipped. At the same time it makes it easier to author templates since you only need to reference one or more nuget packages instead of individual libraries.
Adding packages to a template
Preinstalled packages work using template wizards. A special wizard gets invoked when the template gets instantiated. The wizard loads the list of packages that need to be installed and passes that information to the appropriate NuGet APIs.
The template needs to specify where to find the package nupkg files. Currently, three package repositories are supported:
2. Packages embedded inside of the project/item template itself
3. Packages installed on hard drive, with a registry key referencing the path
To add preinstalled packages to your project/item template you need to:
Step 1
Edit your vstemplate file and add a reference to the NuGet template wizard by
adding a
WizardExtension element:
<Assembly>NuGet.VisualStudio.Interop, Version=126.96.36.199, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a</Assembly>
NuGet.VisualStudio.Interop.dll is a new assembly that only contains the
TemplateWizard class. This class is a simple wrapper that calls into the actual implementation that lives in
NuGet.VisualStudio.dll. The assembly version will never change so that project/item templates continue to work with new versions of NuGet.
Step 2
Add the list of packages to install in the project:
<package id="jQuery" version="1.6.2" />
The wizard supports multiple
<package> elements. Both the
id and
version attributes are required. An important consequence of this is that a specific version of a package will be installed even if a newer version
is available in the online package feed.
The reason for this behavior is that a future version of a package might introduce a change that is not compatible with the project/item template. The choice to upgrade the package to the latest version using NuGet is left to the developer who is in the best position to assume the risks of upgrading the package to the latest version.
Starting with NuGet 2.2.1, the wizard also supports multiple `
The remaining step is to specify the repository where NuGet can find the package files. As mentioned earlier, three package repository modes are supported:
VSIX package repository
The recommended approach for deploying Visual Studio project/item templates is through a VSIX package (read more about VSIX deployment here). The VSIX method is preferable because it allows you to package multiple project/item templates together and allows developers to easily discover your templates using the VS Extension Manager or the Visual Studio Gallery. On top of that you can easily push updates to your users using the Visual Studio Extension Manager automatic update mechanism.
Step 1
To specify a VSIX as a package repository you modify the
<packages> element in the
.vstemplate file:
<packages repository="extension"
repository attribute specifies the type of repository ("extension") while
repositoryId is the unique identifier of your VSIX (i.e. the value of the
ID attribute in the extension's vsixmanifest file).
Step 2
Add your nupkg files as custom extension content in your
source.extension.vsixmanifest file. If you're using the 2.0 schema it should look like this:
Or if you're using the 1.0 schema it should look like this:
<Asset Type="Moq.4.0.10827.nupkg" d:Source="File"
Path="Packages\Moq.4.0.10827.nupkg" d:VsixSubPath="Packages" />
<CustomExtension Type="Moq.4.0.10827.nupkg">
Ensure that your
nupkg files are located under a folder called
Packages within the VSIX package.
You can place the nupkg files in the same VSIX as your project templates or you can have the packages be located in a separate VSIX if that makes more sense for your scenario ().
You should not reference VSIXs you do not have control over since they could change in the future and your project/item templates would break
Template package repository
If packaging multiple projects is not important to you (e.g. you are only distributing a single project/item template), a simpler but also more limited approach is to include the nupkg files in the project/item template zip file itself.
However, if you are bundling a set of project/item templates that relate to each other and share NuGet packages (e.g. you are shipping a custom MVC project template with versions for Razor, Web Forms, C#, and VB.NET), we do not recommend adding the NuGet packages directly to each project/item template zip file. It needlessly increases the size of the project/item template bundle.
To specify the project/item template as a package repository you modify the
<package> element:
<packages repository="template">
repository attribute now has the value "template" and the
repositoryId attribute is not longer required. The nupkg files need to be placed into the root directory of the project/item template zip file.
Registry-specified folder path
Many SDKs are installed via MSI. These MSIs have the ability to install NuGet packages on disk for efficient package installation during project creation, avoiding the need to extract the packages during project creation. ASP.NET uses this approach for its preinstalled packages in project templates.
This approach requires a few moving parts:
Step 1
Put the packages on disk during MSI installation
You can install only the nupkg files or the nupkg files along with their expanded contents.
If the expanded contents are also installed, this saves one additional step during project creation.
The file/folder format matches the standard packages folder used by NuGet where the nupkg files are all at the root and then each package has a subfolder with the id/version pair as the subfolder name.
Step 2
Write a registry key that can be used to reference the package installation folder
Use HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE[\Wow6432Node]\NuGet\Repository for the key location.
The key name must be something unique to you. ASP.NET MVC 4 in VS 2012 uses "AspNetMvc4VS11" for instance.
The value must be the full path to your packages folder. ASP.NET MVC 4 uses "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET MVC 4\Packages\" for instance.
Step 3
Use the repository value of "registry" within the
<packages> node
Specifying your registry key name in the
If you have pre-unzipped your packages, use the
If you want to force a design time build at the end of packages installation, use
forceDesignTimeBuild="true"attribute. This attribute is supported on NuGet versions 3.2 and above.
Here's an example
<packages> element using the registry-specified folder repository:
<packages repository="registry" keyName="AspNetMvc4VS11" isPreunzipped="true">
<package id="EntityFramework" version="5.0.0" skipAssemblyReferences="true" />
Note that the above example also uses the
skipAssemblyReferences="true" attribute, which is another performance
optimization. The VS template itself already includes this assembly reference, so we can tell NuGet to skip
adding assembly references from the package.
Best Practices
Make your VSIX declare a dependency on the NuGet VSIX by adding a reference to it in your VSIX manifest:
<Reference Id="NuPackToolsVsix.Microsoft.67e54e40-0ae3-42c5-a949-fddf5739e7a5" MinVersion="1.7.30402.9028">
<Name>NuGet Package Manager</Name>
Require project/item templates to be saved on creation by setting
<PromptForSaveOnCreation> in the
.vstemplate file.

Farah: Gays And Radical Muslims Working Together To Destroy America
Submitted by Brian Tashman on Monday, 8/22/2011 1:38 pm
WorldNetDaily editor Joseph Farah contends that "the homosexual agenda and the Shariah agenda" are working together to endanger the future of America. Farah claims that both the LGBT community and Muslim-Americans want to alter the institution of marriage, use hate crimes laws to silence critics, and implement Don't Ask Don't Tell to weaken the U.S. military. According to Farah, only right-wing activists like him are standing up to the "Muslim Mafia and the Gay Mafia," but even many leaders of the conservative movement are selling out for "Arab cash" and "wealthy homosexual interests." Farah writes:
Homosexual political activists are pushing hard for the cultural and legal acceptance of same-sex marriage, the adoption of hate-crimes legislation and open homosexual activity in the U.S. armed forces. Opposition to this agenda typically comes from practicing and observant Christians and Jews who recognize the Bible unequivocally condemns homosexual behavior is sinful and that there are grave real-life consequences to nations that condone it.
But I want you to notice who doesn't actively oppose this agenda in American society today – organized Muslim groups.
I will tell you why: Because they recognize the promotion of this agenda in the U.S. actually serves the Islamist long-term agenda. They recognize that the success of this agenda promotes the weakening of the United States of America in multiple ways.
Let's examine how.
There is little question the legal acceptance of same-sex marriage will open the door to the legalization of polygamy. It's inevitable. After all, if it is now "discriminatory," as we're told, to prohibit two men or two women from getting married, clearly it is "discriminatory" to prohibit the marriage of one man and two or more women. There is simply no other rational way to view it.
Who benefits? Those who practice polygamy as part of their religion – Muslims.
And what about opposition to the gutting of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" law? Where are the Muslim organizations on this one? Once again, they are AWOL. Peculiar, isn't it?
Not really. That's because, I believe, the anti-American Muslim Brotherhood tentacles in the U.S. recognize that, ultimately, the U.S. military is one of the last lines of defense of a nation in economic, political and cultural retreat. And they recognize that open homosexual activity within the military's ranks renders it less effective. In other words, it spells victory for the jihadists who ruled the world in the past and intend to rule it in the future.
Until recently, you might note, the only organized political opposition to both the homosexual agenda and the Shariah agenda came from conservatives.
But that is changing.
Some conservative activists, flush with Arab cash, are actively networking their new Muslim friends into the movement and through the Republican Party hierarchy. Other conservative activists are selling out to the wealthy homosexual interests. And a few are even straddling both camps in a very strange and dangerous game indeed.
So what explains the current brand of patty-cake politics between the Muslim Mafia and the Gay Mafia?
Money, moral relativism, naiveté and power.
But this is a short-term marriage of convenience, not a marriage made in heaven.

"SLIPS" Receives 2012 R&D 100 Award
Date: Jun 20, 2012
Inspired by the slippery surface of the pitcher plant, SLIPS is honored for its ability to repel liquids and solids from almost any surface, under almost any condition
SLIPS is a novel coating that repels almost every type of liquid and solid -- from blood and crude oil, to ice and bacteria.
A novel coating that repels almost every type of liquid and solid -- from blood and crude oil, to ice and bacteria -- has received a 2012 R&D 100 Award from R&D Magazine. The annual awards honor the 100 most technologically significant products of the previous year. The winning technology, called SLIPS (Slippery Liquid-Infused Porous Surfaces), was developed by a team of scientists from the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University and from Harvard's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS).
The R&D 100 Awards have long been a benchmark of excellence for diverse industry sectors. Since their inception in 1963, the awards have identified many promising technologies that have gone on to become household names. These game-changers include the flashcube (1965), the automated teller machine (1973), the fax machine (1975), the Nicoderm anti-smoking patch (1992), lab on a chip (1996), and HDTV (1998).
"We are thrilled to see SLIPS recognized as a revolutionary discovery that can transform people's daily lives," said Wyss Founding Director Donald Ingber, M.D., Ph.D. "It is a prime example of how we believe the Wyss' Adaptive Materials Technologies platform can change the world by emulating the way Nature solves problems."
SLIPS was inspired by the slippery surface of the carnivorous pitcher plant, which enables the plant to capture insects. The technology was first described in the September 22, 2011 issue of the journal Nature. Joanna Aizenberg, a Wyss Core Faculty Member and the Amy Smith Berylson Professor of Materials Science at SEAS, is leading the research effort with support from Wyss Postdoctoral Fellow Tak-Sing Wong.
The novel super slippery surfaces can quickly repel liquids and solids, and their complex mixtures. The surfaces show a unique ability to self-repair if damaged and to self-clean. The technology is effective in a range of harsh conditions, such as high pressure, extreme UV exposure, high acidity, and freezing temperatures, and SLIPS can be created on almost any surface, including glass, plastics, and metals. The coating itself is non-toxic and anti-corrosive.
SLIPS technology has the potential for high-impact applications in numerous areas, including biomedical fluid handling, fuel transport, and anti-fouling and anti-icing approaches. For example, SLIPS could prevent biofilm from forming on medical devices and keep ice from forming on railings, roofs, wires, signs, and airplane wings.
"Some of the most extreme examples in biology can provide the most amazing and unexpected ideas, and what's so significant about the pitcher plant is that it gives us a blueprint for a single surface that is capable of repelling any type of accumulated unwanted material," said Aizenberg. "In following its example, we should be able to develop a platform that works for almost any sticky problem, no matter how seemingly unrelated- whether it's ice accumulation, bacterial attachment, environmental contamination, clogging of pipes, marine biofouling, or graffiti-- rather than having to come up with a host of individual solutions."
Winners of the R&D 100 Awards are selected by an independent judging panel and by the editors of R&D Magazine, which covers cutting-edge technologies and innovations for research scientists, engineers, and technical experts around the world. The winners will be recognized at the R&D 100 Awards Banquet in November 2012.

This recipe is my husband's creation. Like I've said before, he's more the fan of tex-mex food than I am. I mean, I like it as long as it is not too spicy. He loves to load on the hot sauce. 🙂 Most canned re-fried beans have that gross metallic aftertaste as only canned products do not to mention preservatives to keep it shelf-stable. This homemade refried bean recipe is far tastier and better for you!
In addition to this yummy recipe, he also created a homemade fajita seasoning. If you didn't know (I didn't until recently), most store bought spice mixes contain MSG. Yuck! It is pretty easy (and much cheaper), to make your own. If you are interested in his other recipes, click here and here. This would go great with my Homemade Tortilla Chips!
Homemade Re Fried Beans with Fajita Seasoning
Prep time:
Total time:
Serves: 1 cup
- 2 cups beans that were soaked overnight, and then boiled until soft. You can also use canned beans.
- ¼ cup yellow onions rough chopped
- 2 tsp fajita seasoning
- ½ cup water
- 1 T oil of choice, I used walnut oil
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp chili powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- ¼ tsp oregano
- In a pan, saute the onion with the oil for about five minutes or until nice and soft.
- Add the beans and the seasoning into pan and saute for another five or so.
- Remove from heat, and put contents in the food processor.
- Add water and blend until smooth. That's it.

I'm replacing the rear differential fluid on my '03 Legacy GT with 75W90 synthetic. It has limited slip rear diff, do I have to add any friction modifier additive for the LSD? Any advice would be appreciated! Brian
AFAIK your rear LSD is a sealed viscous unit that does not come in contact with the gear oil, and therefore does not require friction modifier as does a wet-clutch type LSD. However you can still use the additive as it will provide some benefit for the gears and bearings. Some synthetics, such as Redline 75W90, already contain the modifier.
Pumps wrote:
When in doubt, talk to the Subaru guys at the dealer's service dept. Maybe call more than one dealer to make sure you get the same answer more than once? BTW, what's the owner's manual say?
Then, look at the label on a bottle of your chosen fluid: I have both synthetic and dino oils on the shelf in the garage right now. The synthetic says "for conventional differentials and topping off LSD types" (in not so few words.) The dino says "for drain and refill of conventional and LSD types" (again in not so few words.) From that, I'd gather this particular synthetic would require the addition of an additive for a refill.
If yours does require an additive, call Subaru again and talk to the parts guys to see what they recommend. Many mfrs have their own and it's hard to tell which ones are just rebadged commercial products, which ones actually proprietary compounds. The situations where a proprietary fluid is required are increasing in number...

Development of Influenza del NS1 Virus as a Vector For Foreign Antigens
The project CHIMERIC VACCINES is being carried out by an international consortium over a 30-month period. The consortium aims at developing a novel vaccine that will provide protection against avian influenza and seasonal influenza. The technical basis is a replication deficient influenza virus that was modified to express foreign antigens.
CHIMERIC VACCINES is led by the Austrian SME Green Hills Biotechnology and consists of three partner companies in Austria, Slovenia and the Czech Republic and two renowned university partners in Austria and Germany. In order to bring these vaccines to clinical use, one of the partners is the Russian WHO reference laboratory for influenza in St Petersburg, which has abundant experience in testing new vaccines.
Avian influenza is an infectious disease of birds caused by type A strains of the influenza virus. The disease occurs worldwide. While all birds are thought to be susceptible to infection with avian influenza viruses, many wild bird species carry these viruses with no apparent signs of harm. A highly pathogenic form was first identified in Italy in 1878 and can lead to a mortality rate in infected animals of 100% within 48 hours.
Influenza viruses are species-specific and only rarely cause infection in other species. Since 1959, instances of human infection with an avian influenza virus have been documented on only 10 occasions. Of the hundreds of strains of avian influenza A viruses, only four are known to have caused human infections: H5N1, H7N3, H7N7 and H9N2. In general, human infection with these viruses has resulted in mild symptoms and very little severe illness, with one notable exception - the highly pathogenic H5N1 virus.
Currently, the H5N1 virus is of greatest significance as it has crossed the species barrier to infect humans on at least three occasions in recent years leading to the current outbreaks that began in December 2003. Currently, no vaccine against avian influenza is available.[+] Read More
This consortium has developed a novel approach for vaccination against avian influenza. The technology is based on the insertion of selected epitopes into a genetically modified influenza virus that is apathogenic. To achieve these results, both a stable vector and promising antigens were identified. Antigen selection was based on bioinformatics methods that were substantiated by experimental validation. The properties of the backbone vector in terms of safety and stability were assessed in preclinical experiments and gave highly satisfactory results. To bring the proposed chimeric vaccine into clinical trials, a production process in small scale was established using a novel purification technology. Finally, preparations for a clinical trial in Russia were made by the Russian Institute of Influenza.
Results of this project will shed light on important aspects in the development of novel vaccination strategies and will help to further develop the concept of a chimeric vaccine. In addition, important information regarding immunogenicity and safety will be generated and a process for the production of purified viruses will be established.
The vaccine developed in this project will be an important step towards a vaccine that can induce an immune response against foreign antigens of pathogens. The technologies that are used in this project will have the potential to be applied to other relevant pathogens as well.
