No-Fry Doughnuts
Total Time
Prep 30 mins
Cook 2 hrs
I got this recipe from 1999 issue of The Best of Country Cooking. I really didn't fancy frying anything and boy was I happy when I found it. Made it and it's a pity I didn't have any fellow Zaarians to help me finish it! There were just the two of us... Here in Singapore, it takes a very short time for the dough to double. Cooking time is the time taken for dough to rise.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 (1/4 ounce) packages active dry yeast
- 1⁄4 cup warm water
- 1 1⁄2 cups warm milk
- 1⁄3 cup shortening
- 1⁄2 cup sugar

- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 1⁄2-5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1⁄4 cup melted butter or 1⁄4 cup margarine
- 1⁄2 cup butter
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 5 teaspoons water

- Roll out to 1/2 inch thickness.
- Cut with a 2.75 inch doughnut cutter.
- Place 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets and brush with butter.
- Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled.
- Bake at 350F or 180C for 20 mins or until lightly browned.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan, add sugar, water and vanilla.
- Stir over low heat until smooth (do not boil).
- Keep warm.
- Dip warm doughnuts one at a time into glaze and turn to coat.
- Drain on wire rack.
- Serve immediately.

I can't believe I forgot to review these. It was so easy to make. I used butter instead of shortening, simply my preference. They came out really nice and less greasy that deep fried doughnuts. I used brown sugar in the glaze, which gave them a caramel flavour. I had to give the rest to my parents-in-law, I just couldn't have that kind of temptation in the house. Thanks Vnut, for a great recipe!b
Excellent doughnuts .. I fried some of them, and my husband liked them better, but the baked ones were great too .. thanks!
Really great easy recipe! Like a previous reviewer, I substituted butter for the shortening, and I also used more flour than the recipe called for to get the dough thick enough that it'd retain the shape of my heart cookie cutter (I made these for Valentine's Day). I skipped the glaze and simply frosted with Nutella and powdered sugar. The doughnuts themselves have a mildly sweet flavor, more like a bread than a doughnut, so I really recommend topping them with a glaze or some type of frosting. They were pleasantly soft and I wouldn't call them moist, but they certainly weren't dry.

From Publishers Weekly
Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
"An accomplished and engaging biography of a remarkably resourceful and determined woman, whose story shed considerable light on the role of southern Unionism in undermining the Confederate war effort, military and otherwise, and on the women who embodied and actively sustained that cause." --Civil War History
"A thrilling detective story filled with clandestine meetings, cloak-and-dagger intrigue, disguises, surveillance and undercover work. While such well-known Civil War women spies as Belle Boyd and Rose O'Neal Greenhow remain shrouded in partisan mythology, Varon has unearthed hard evidence that establishes Van Lew as a genuine heroine of the Civil War era."--Raleigh News & Observer
"A rich account of a complex and important figure in wartime Richmond.... Highly readable."--Civil War Book Review
"Groundbreaking and altogether remarkable.... A classic 'forgotten woman' study...as accessible to the lay reader as a novel."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"This is a wonderfully readable and engaging book. Varon brings Van Lew out of the realm of myth and into the much more interesting domain of history, offering us a woman who as spy, abolitionist and woman's rights advocate was at once larger than life and at the center of her time."--Drew Gilpin Faust, Director of the Radcliffe Institute, author of Mothers of Invention: Women of the Slaveholding South in the American Civil War
"Detailed, astute and convincing."--Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post

- There may have been a time in the world's history when such moments fully revealed their gravity, with witches prophesying on a blasted heath of visible Rubicons to be crossed.
- The head of research at a big-time doll maker informs us that a Rubicon has been passed: 'Dolls are becoming less like toys,' he says, 'and more like miniature robots, digital companions.'
- However, kids cross a Rubicon at a certain age, when they want to do, not to watch, they want to control, not be controlled.

I want to be able to place a custom field (code for a linked image) before the title of the post.
I have been reviewing the documentation page, Using Custom Fields and trying different variations.
I can get it to display the code I want (and therefore the linked image) by using
<?php the_meta(); ?>, but it also gives me the key name, which I don't want, and even though I can dispense with this (
display: none) in the css, this is sloppy because it will pull out all keys and values for any custom fields. I would like to be as specific as possible, in case I want to use other custom fields for other purposes and in other places.
So my question: What php code do I need to get it to give me only the VALUE for the key "image"?

LONDON (June 19, 2013)--A lock of Mick Jagger's hair is for sale and it's expected to fetch at least $2,300 during a charity sale on July 3.
Bonhams auction house says the hair was cut when Jagger and model Chrissie Shrimpton were staying at her parents' farm in the 1960s.
Shrimpton's grandmother saved the lock of hair and passed it on to Shrimpton's aunt when she died.
Then it was returned to Shrimpton.

AbstractAn improved control system for autonomous vehicles is proposed in which prognostic and diagnostic data generated by the vehicle itself is used as an input to the controller. This is in contrast to conventional controllers in which the vehicle is represented by a static model. ASI will analyze the parameters of the NATO Reference Mobility Model to decide which most affect overall vehicle control and specify sensors for monitoring these parameters. A new vehicle controller will be designed which will use this data, in addition to data on the external environment, for vehicle control. This will result in a more autonomous system, since it will be 'aware' of its own condition as well as its surroundings.

Custom theme needs drop-down nav and additional pages, but cannot find a way to do it without deconstructing the code. Which has been done here-

So just checking: is there any way to add a drop-down within WordPress? Do not have access to the original developer. Thanks.

I had two ladies come over yesterday from the local Jehovah's Witness place. They asked if we knew where the devil comes from but left when my wife said we're Catholic. As a Catholic, I've got some ideas, but if I wanted to wow them if they ever come again, where do they believe the devil comes from?

Q. "According to the Jehovah's Witnesses, where does the Devil come from?"
A. ALL of the beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses are based on and found within the Holy Scriptures. The question therefore should more accurately be "According to the Holy Scriptures, where does the Devil come from?".
We who are Jehovah's Witnesses DO NOT believe that there are MANY ways to "interpret" the Scriptures, rather, being that the Holy Scriptures are inspired by God THE Almighty Himself (2 Timothy 3:16, 17) via His Holy Spirit which operated on the minds and hearts of the imperfect men He used to write the Scriptures (1 Thess 2:13), we who are Jehovah's Witnesses firmly believe that there is but only ONE WAY to "interpret" the Scriptures and that "one way" is to allow the Holy Scriptures to "interpret" themselves and not resort to philosophical arguments to evade its clear statements of truth. We simply let the Bible provide its own explanation instead of giving our theories as to its significance (1 Cor. 2:13). Indications as to the meaning of certain terms or doctrine are usually found in other parts of the Bible.
The fact is, contrary to popular but highly erroneous belief, God did not create the Devil. 'Yet if God created everyone,' a person may say, 'he must have created the Devil. Who else could have? Where did the Devil come from?'
The Bible explains that God created many, many spirit persons similar to himself. In the Bible, these spirits are called angels. Also, they are called "sons of God." (Job 38:7; Psalm 104:4; Hebrews 1:7, 13, 14) God created them ALL perfect. Not one of them was a devil, or a satan. The word "devil" means slanderer and the word "satan" means opposer.
The time came, however, when one of these spirit sons of God made himself the Devil, that is, a hateful liar who speaks bad things about another. He also made himself Satan, that is, an opposer of God. He was not created that way, but later became that kind of person.
To illustrate: A thief is not born a thief. He may have come from a good family, having honest parents and law-abiding brothers and sisters. But his own desire for what money can buy is what may have caused him to become a thief.
How, then, did one of God's spirit sons make himself Satan the Devil?
The angel that became the Devil was present when God created the earth and later the first human couple, Adam and Eve (Job 38:4, 7). So he would have heard God tell Adam and Eve to have children, fill the earth and subdue it (Genesis 1:27, 28). He knew that after a while the whole earth would be filled with righteous people worshiping God. That was God's purpose. However, this angel thought a great deal of his own beauty and intelligence and wanted to receive for himself the worship that would be given to God (Ezekiel 28:13-15; Matthew 4:10).
Instead of putting this wrong desire out of his mind, he kept thinking about it. This led to his taking action to obtain the honor and importance he desired. What did he do?—James 1:14, 15.
The rebellious angel used a lowly serpent to speak to the first woman, Eve. He did this much as a skilled person can make it seem as if a nearby animal or a dummy figure is talking. But it was really this rebellious angel, the one called in the Bible at Revelation 12:9 "the original serpent," who was speaking to Eve. At Genesis 3:1-5, he said that God was not telling her the truth, and was holding back from her knowledge that she should have. This was a hateful lie and it made him a devil. He thus also became an opposer of God, or a Satan.
As you can see, it is wrong to think of the Devil as a creature with horns and a pitchfork who oversees some underground place of torment. He is really a very powerful, but wicked, angel.
~ NOTE: I am a dedicated and baptized member of the unified worldwide Christian Congregation of JEHOVAH'S Witnesses.
Quoting from their 'Reasoning From the Scriptures Book':
Jehovah made angels with a free will.. like he did with humans. So its just a matter of choice. Satan has chosen himself to become an opposite of Jehovah

I find that interesting.
I think you will find that the tender was oversubscribed because of the difference in tender price and market price. I tendered my shares, and expect to rebuy them at the market, pocketing the difference.
Poondog:There will be more tender offers. Some of us might consider participating next time. Would you please post when you get paid and how much. It should be $3.00 which is 98% of 3.06, the NAV on 10/16.I expect there was a fair amount of trading the tender. Even I thought of it, eventually.The important issue is: will the PPS improve? Will the discount shrink?

Pine-Sol is a registered trade name of Clorox for a line of household cleaning products, used to clean grease and heavy soil stains.
Pine-Sol detergent was invented by Harry A. Cole in 1929.[citation needed] The Pine-Sol brand was acquired by Clorox from Shulton, Inc. in 1990. The cleaner is slightly acidic[citation needed] and used to remove bacteria from household surfaces.
Although the original Pine-Sol formulation is pine oil-based, not all cleaners sold under the Pine-Sol brand contain pine oil.[1] As of 2008[update], the material safety data sheet for the "Original Pine-Sol Brand Cleaner 1" formulation lists 8–12% pine oil, 3-7% alkyl alcohol ethoxylates, 1-5% sodium petroleum sulfonate and 1-5% isopropyl alcohol.[2] More recently, The Clorox Company's product line includes "Clorox Commercial Pine-Sol Brand Cleaner, with the same ingredients and concentrations as "Original Pine-Sol Brand Cleaner 1."[3] Since January 2013, Clorox also makes a product called Original Pine-Sol Multi-Surface Cleaner which includes glycolic acid while lacking any pine oil.[4]

#16025 new Bug
distinct does not apply to aggregated querysets
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Database layer (models, ORM)
|Triage Stage:
|Has patch:
|Needs documentation:
|Needs tests:
|Patch needs improvement:
|Easy pickings:
Description (last modified by ramiro)
When applying .distinct() to a QuerySet, performing an aggregation using .aggregate() on that will only ensure that the aggregation result is distinct. As a result, this prevents you from doing a query where you want the input to the aggregation to have distinct rows.
Take the example models:
class Category(Model): label = CharField(max_length=128) class Food(Model): name = CharField(max_length=128) categories = ManyToManyField(Category) kilojoules_per_kg = PositiveIntegerField()
If you then did a query on which you selected a couple of Categories as foreign keys (eg: "Pizza Toppings" and "Fruits"), you'd end up with a list of Foods that would contain duplicates where a food item fits in multiple categories (eg: "Apple", "Orange", "Pineapple", "Pineapple", "Bacon" and "Cheese" ...).
If you then wanted to then find the average number of kilojoules per kilogram for items in those groups and eliminate duplicates (Pineapple), the documentation would lead you to do this:
However instead of counting Pineapple once, Pineapple would be counted twice, as the distinct() call would only apply to the result of the aggregation, not to the input of it.
>>> qs.distinct().aggregate(Avg('kilojoules_per_kg')) == qs.aggregate(Avg('kilojoules_per_kg')) True
Instead, .distinct() before .aggregate() should instead cause a subquery to be executed to filter the results before passing it to the aggregation functions. There doesn't seem a way to presently execute a query like this using the Django ORM.
.distinct() after an aggregation should cause the results of the aggregation to be filtered so only distinct records are returned (which is the current behavior).
I've managed to confirm this behavior in Django 1.2.3 and 1.3.

I'm aware wrote "Average" here instead of "Avg" -- I meant "Avg". The rest of the bug still applies, I was trying to make an example of the error that was effecting my application using different models (because my application's models are rather complex), but have the same basic problem as described here.
comment:2 Changed 5 years ago by ramiro
- Component changed from Database layer (models, ORM) to ORM aggregation
- Triage Stage changed from Unreviewed to Accepted
Does your Food model have any Meta.ordering model option or does the queryset have a order_by() call somewhere?
comment:3 Changed 5 years ago by micolous
In the example application I developed it doesn't (the only difference is I've implemented __unicode__, but in the application I'm actually writing it does.
Both ways give the same (erroneous) result.

What is the proper way to apply sunscreen to the face?
Answer by:
Susan Evans, MD
Dermatologist, WebMD Medical Expert
Skin Deformities and Research Foundation
Applying sunscreen is a very important part of your daily skin care regimen, especially if you are exposed to daylight. The deeper penetrating UVA rays are present in daylight (from morning to night), every season of the year. The UVA rays comprise 94% of all the UV radiation we get, and penetrate clouds and car window glass every day. UVA promotes cancer and premature aging from the sun. Zinc oxide is a physical blocker and is the only FDA approved substance that blocks the entire UVA spectrum.
All sunscreens should be applied every two hours, as none safely last longer than that. A SPF of 30 is adequate protection from the UVB burning rays, which are stronger at noontime and in the summer months. You can tell when you have had too much exposure when you feel the burn from the UVB rays in the summertime. Unfortunately, the UVA rays do not carry a radiant heat or burn warning that you have had too much. You realize you have had too much sun exposure when premature wrinkles and uneven skin tone become apparent in 20 to 30 years.
Broad spectrum sunscreen should be applied to sun exposed skin daily and reapplied every two hours. Powder sunscreens are available to apply over makeup throughout the day

Gov. Rick Perry showed 'em in Washington that the mood out here in Texas is quite inhospitable to those who seek to foist federal authority on those of us who are fiercely independent.
With that clear and unambiguous message, the governor steamrolled veteran U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison en route to winning the Republican nomination Tuesday for a third full term as governor.
Congratulations belong to the governor for running a smart, tough, savvy and successful primary campaign.
But now what?
Perry's big win notwithstanding, the time now has arrived for him to broaden his message and to articulate his vision for the future of the Lone Star State. And that vision cannot be merely more of the Washington-bashing he used with such effectiveness against Hutchison.
Perry has a capable, well-funded and well-schooled opponent awaiting him in the form of former three-term Houston Mayor Bill White, who trampled a large Democratic primary field in winning his party's nomination for governor.
White, too, must focus on a broad message of reform in state government. He talked during the primary about education. Now he must flesh out the details of how, as governor, he would work to reduce the shameful dropout rate among Texas teenagers.
For his part, Perry must tell Texans how he will persuade legislators to cut spending to balance the state budget, which is expected to be $15 billion in the hole when the 2011 Legislature convenes.
The governor will have to put his anti-Washington tirade on the shelf as he prepares to run against the Democratic nominee.
These men are running for governor of Texas - unless, of course, either man has a higher office on his radar.

No Let-Up in Airlines' Demands on Airbus, Boeing
What have you done for me lately?
That's the question that airlines are asking Airbus Group and Boeing, forcing the plane makers to think about what aircraft airlines will want to fly in the decades ahead even before they've got their newest planes in the sky.
The reality is the market can change fast in an industry which has notoriously long lead times for developing and building new product. In the Airbus-Boeing duopoly, a move by one player can have a knock-on effect on the other.
The decision by Airbus to revamp its A330 wide-body jet at the same time as it rolls out its new-generation A350 plane is a case in point.
The European plane maker is trying to catch up with unexpectedly strong demand for twin-engine long-distance jets, ones bigger than short-haul aircraft but not as big as the gas-guzzling jumbo jets Airbus and Boeing have built in the past.
When Airbus launched the A350 program, it decided to first build the A350-900, then move to a smaller A350-800 model and the stretched A350-1000 also due in 2017. Demand for the smaller A350-800 proved slack.
So Airbus has effectively ditched it. The similarly-sized A330neo is headed for delivery from 2017 and promises to be 14% more fuel efficient than the existing A330.
Boeing, meanwhile, has booked more than 250 orders for the 777X, the new version of its existing twin-engine wide-body plane, since its launch in November at the Dubai air show. The Chicago-based company is confident it has plenty more customers lining up.
Airbus has no competitor plane for the 777X which is bigger than the A350 but not as big as Airbus's four-engined A380 super jumbo.
That has led to suggestions Airbus may try a further stretch of the A350, notionally called the A350-1100. The TrentXWB, the Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC engine that powers the jet, has extra thrust capability beyond what is needed for the A350-1000, so that is not a limiting factor.
"It would be an interesting thing to do but I don't feel like it is a priority we should be worrying about now," said Tom Williams, Airbus executive vice president for programs. "The guys should be really focused on what they are doing on the A350-900 and the 1000."
At Boeing, however, the impending arrival of the A330neo also has led to head scratching.
One idea is to revive the out-of-production 757. Others could be more shrink or stretch versions of the Dreamliner.

Study – Just 44% of US gamers buy games
A new report suggests a large number of self-identified gamers don't buy games, preferring to share with friends and family.
A study conducted by research firm Newzoo, as reported by Gamespot, claims that just 44% of the 82 million US residents who play games actually make purchases.
85% of those who purchase games have bought second-hand games. Of these, 25% said at least half their regular spend is on used games, and on average, gamers devote 23% to the trade in market.
On the bright side for publishers, the reports predicted DLC spend will hit $960 million this year in the US alone, topping out at $1.75 billion when added to European figures.

I used to be able to check which users were logged into a machine running Scientific Linux (CERN) using
w (or
users or
who) but this no longer works unless the user has a terminal open. Anyone who has logged in and is running a Gnome session with e.g. Firefox and Thunderbird does not show up in the list.
I'm not sure when this stopped working, but with a fully updated SLC 5.8 machine it does not work as I would expect. Is there some configuration that fixes this?
Thanks to all who made suggestions. Looks like this might be easier in just about every other version of Fedora and Red Hat, so I'll have to wait until we upgrade to version 6.

How To Change A 09 Dodge Ram Laramie Blend Door Actuator To Fix Knocking Noise Behind Dash Board
What do you think about this video?
Rhonda Monroe: From a auto shop owner, good job. Had a friend call and ask how big a deal it would be to fix the ticking in his dash, I told him it was most likely a blend door actuator but didn't know how much time it would take. Found your video and was able to price it out over the phone.
Nick Konsumer: Very helpful, thanks!
Vito Recchia: Hey good video. Did that to my truck recently. Although same part keeps breaking. I'm told I might have to remove fuse to recalibrate the throw on eCh one. Know anything about that??
rodbender7: Can anyone describe what each of the 4 actuators do? my hot/cold quit working so which one do I need? I appreciate the video but it's not helpful if you don't know which actuator to replace. Thanks.
Nosajjao: two different repair places quoted me at least 2-6 hrs to work on it. I found this video and did it in 15 minutes with $30. This broken device was causing me so much headache and worry for repair costs, and it was this simple. Wish I'd found the video 7 months sooner
Graham Hill: Thanks for this video you two. Like others, this saved me $500 at the dealership. Got the dorman part for $30 and pulling everything apart let me clean the hard to get places. Much appreciated.
Walt G: Thanks sooo much for the help and posting this fantastic video!!!!! $30 tax included from autozone, 40 minutes which includes getting another couple of screwdrivers and it's back together blowing COOOOLLLLL AIR!!!!!!! Thanks again so much!!!!! W.
Number 21: Excellent tutorial thanks to you i saved hundreds of dollars. I have a 2010 ram and your instructions were spot on. Again thanks!!!!!!!
Jose RAMOS: I have a similar knocking but at the same time my ac blower is not blowing until about 5 minutes into my driving. Is this a blend door actuator problem, a ac blower fan problem, or both?????
Tony Castro: I replaced both of them in my 11 ram from advance auto parts and still does it when I turn the ac on or change climate
Brian Beck: Thank you very much for the video. Mine just went out in the mountains of Colorado, and your video help me a lot! 30 dollars later and I have the defrosters again!
beto grz: hello from mexico and excuse me about my enlish
i have a ram 2010 reg cab rt and is the same shape of the dash and glove boxes
does anybody knows how to remove ALL the dash including the gloveboxes?? beacouse i find the blend door actuator behind the glovebox of the top but it seems like im going to need to remove even the top off the complete dash to replace the actuator
(i find two actuators right under the stereo, another one beside of the feet of the copilot and the fourth behind the glovebox thats the one that i need to replace)
does any body knows where can i watch a video to do that ??or anybody can explain me how to do it?? beacouse i am afraid to explode the airbags
Brad Thompson: Good video.. Love the Beer inside the truck :P but System of the down was getting annoying.
Jason H.: dodge just quoted me minimum of 8 hours @ 145/hour plus parts.. yeah right.!!
Alessandro Pugliese: Is that part number 604-005 or 604-038? I replaced the exact same actuator and days later it broke again. I bought part #604-004.. I'm not sure if I need #604-038 instead. By the way awesome video!! I hope you're getting paid for this video from the ads
Griffin: I know there is the 2 you are looking at and one behind the glove book but do you know how to get to the forth one? Just wondering if you could see it from were your at when you have the center all apart. The forth one is for the passenger blend door actuator.
Nicholas Dominguez: Thx for putting this up..you've helped out all of us
Paolo Rizzardi: Anyone have the model number for this part? and are both those the same part? they look the same!??
Rich Wildrick: Thanks for this posting, I just swapped out the actuator in about 30 minutes and that even counted cleaning up the spilled coffee that was on the chrome trim ring I needed to remove. I bought a Dorman actuator (604-038) at Advance Auto for $32 and it took care of my problem. Its a sin that the local Dodge dealer estimated $500 to do this repair.
Jeff Engel: Thanks for posting this video. I had a blend door motor go bad on my 2010 Ram 2500 laramie and the dash removal was exactly the same. Your video helped me take this dash out for the first time.

Dear Friends,
I have just received the Census results of 2011 and while we expected the 10 percent decline, it is sad to see a 20 percent decline. From 69,601 we are now 57,264 only.
It is for this reason that Parzor had approached the Ministry of Minority Affairs, many years ago, for a Scheme to help the Parsi Zoroastrian community from demographic extinction. The Planning Commission had been briefed by us, but it was only in 2013 that MOMA kindly supported the Jiyo Parsi programme.
We have had, as predicted by ICMR, two thirds of the births of this Programme through Advocacy by efforts, both of our dedicated team at TISS, Dr Katy Gandevia, Pearl Mistry and Binaifer Sahukar, as well as the great pro bono ad campaign of Madison BMB which went viral across the world.
To this we add the medical component , led by the totally dedicated Dr Anahita Pandole of Jaslok hospital , the interventions of other caring doctors at the B.D Sarvajainik hospital in Navsari, others in Surat, as well as Hyderabad and several cities. With the help of surrogacy, supported over the limit fixed by MOMA, we have 2 healthy children.The total today is 71 births, with 3 happening recently on a single day in July 2016.
We, as a country and community, need to help this team and take the Parzor MOMA message to every couple as well as young Zoroastrians. Wherever we have had Workshops, on parenting, child management, grand-parenting, marriage counselling, we have had so many questions and anxieties raised and then resolved, to the best of our teams abilities. This shows that there is a deep psychological change needed in mind sets.
We now have 2 films on Jiyo Parsi, one short for general viewing, and one which touches on delicate and detailed medical issues . We need Anjumans to invite us for longer sessions where we can work with for several days, in depth with the community.
We have good things happening: couples and only children declaring on video, after seeing the Ads and hearing our Counselors, that they are determined to break this mindset and have a second child. We have celebrated the first birthdays of our JP children and even a few second birthdays .
But with the Census results out we all have to work much harder and encourage as well as support and help our young to find partners, encourage a balance between personal life fulfillment and successful professional work. Most importantly we must collectively and consciously realize the urgency of taking responsibility to save a precious world heritage from disappearing .
Let us all re commit ourselves to this task so that at the next Census we can look forward to better news and higher numbers.
With best wishes,
Dr Shernaz Cama
Director, UNESCO Parzor
Parzor Foundation
The Preservation of Culture and Heritage in an increasingly mono-cultural modern world is the challenge facing communities today. UNESCO, New Delhi, has initiated the "PARZOR Project" as Project 302 IND 4070 entitled "Preservation of Parsi Zoroastrian Heritage – Campaigns and International Conventions." Followers of the Bronze Age Prophet Zarathushtra of Iran, the Parsi – Zoroastrians are one of the distinct threads in the tapestry of multicultural India. With the central tenet of 'Humata, Hukta, Huvarsta' (Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds), Zoroastrianism has survived from pre-history with its core beliefs still intact. As a driving force that impels its followers to excel in all fields of human endeavor and contribute vastly for the benefit of humankind, the community in India is found to be declining at alarming rates. While the Parsi-Zoroastrians are less than 0.01% of the Indian population, the loss in numbers is of 10% of its population in each decennial census.
While the Project started with the aim of recording and reviving interest in the Parsi Zoroastrian community in India, there has been an overwhelming response from other parts of the Indian subcontinent and the worldwide Diaspora.
From the tangible such as demographics (macro) to intangible cultural heritage(micro), we have encouraged scholars, the media, publishers and those interested in culture. Along with preservation, the attempt has been to revive the multicultural ethos that makes the unique ethnic and cultural identity of the Parsi-Zoroastrians. While we strive to make our community Return to Roots, we also envisage re-establishing contact with Iran, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Azerbaijan where the Zoroastrian links are being seen as a part of culture and history of the region.The Parsi – Zoroastrian Project intends to generate an awareness of this miniscule minority. While we look at popular narratives found in Modern Indian History, we also attempt to foreground the everyday life and skills of the dynamic community including and not limited to Religion and Priesthood, Textiles and Embroidery or Arts and Crafts.
We invite you to participate in our constructive pursuit of creating a revival of interest within the community, country and the world.

Volleyball Already at 7 Wins
Last year's dismal 7-25 record is a distant memory for the St. Cloud State volleyball team. With their fast start under new head coach Michelle Blaeser, the squad has already matched its win total from last season after picking up a pair of victories this past weekend.
Friday the Huskies traveled to North Dakota to take on the University of Mary and they wasted no time picking up their first conference win of the year sweeping in three sets by scores of 25-21, 25-17, and 25-21. Lauren Cipperly led the charge with 12 kills and 12 digs.
Saturday the Huskies continued their success and notched win number seven in South Dakota over Northern State in match that went the five set distance. The Huskies were beaten badly in the first set 25-10, but battled back and won the deciding set 16-14.
St. Cloud is now 7-3 on the year, and 2-0 in the conference. The Huskies take on Southwest Minnesota State on Tuesday in Marshall, and will have their first home game Friday against MSU Moorhead at 7 PM at Halenbeck Hall. KVSC will be broadcasting that game live right here on 88.1 FM.

Human Resources: Smoking, Drugs, and Alcohol
SmokingThe University of Portland strongly supports a non-smoking environment; no member of the University community should be subject to secondary smoke of another who chooses to smoke.
Any staff member who violates the smoking policy shall be referred to the Human Resources Director.
Drugs and Alcohol
University of Portland is committed to protecting the safety, health, and well-being of its employees and all people who come into contact with its workplaces(s) and property. Employees are expected to work without impairment by any drug or alcohol, lawful or unlawful. We are committed to ensuring a substance-free working environment for all of our employees. We recognize that drug and alcohol abuse pose a direct and significant threat to this goal.
University of Portland therefore strictly prohibits the possession, use, sale, distribution, or manufacture of marijuana (regardless of whether the individual possesses a prescription for medical use), synthetic substances, or other drugs illegal under federal, state, or local law. The unauthorized possession, use, and/or distribution of prescription drugs or the abuse of alcohol are also prohibited. Anyone who might have a drug, controlled substance, or alcohol abuse problem is recommended to seek assistance through our Employee Assistance Plan. Please contact HR for a referral.Under Federal law, an employee must report his/her criminal drug statue conviction for an offense occurring in the workplace. Staff should report such information to the Office of Human Resources. Faculty should report such information to the Office of the Provost. The report should occur no later than five (5) days after such conviction. The appropriate office shall report the conviction to the Federal agency involved as required by Federal law.
Though Oregon's Measure 91 went into effect on July 1, 2015, the University has not changed its position on marijuana. Our drug policy clearly states that the use of illegal substances and the misuse of legal substances are strictly prohibited. Marijuana is still illegal under federal law. Regardless of its status in the State of Oregon, or whether or not an individual possesses a prescription for medical use,marijuana is banned from our community. The University of Portland continues to prohibit all on-campus possession of marijuana and all use of marijuana, both on and off campus, by faculty and staff.Any violation of this policy will be investigated and may result in an adverse employment action up to and including termination. Administration of the Drug and Alcohol Policy with regard to staff is handled by the Office of Human Resources and with regards to faculty, is handled by the Office of the Provost.

Hey there folks,
I love the plugin, by the way. I just found a small bug in the latest versions of both IE8 and AddtoAny.
If you use a transparent PNG as your custom image for the plugin, in IE it shows up with strange dark blue added behind it. I wasn't sure if this could be corrected with a custom IE CSS style or not because I thought I'd just as soon switch to a GIF or JPG, which doesn't have the problem, and lose a little bit of transparency than fiddle with it. If this is resolved, however, I'd love to switch back to the PNG.

any event that happens in the summer while we wait for college football is great thanks for postings these
Not a soccer fan, but I enjoy the World Cup.
Just about the same thoughts as you Jason. I love the World Cup & Euro tournaments and the qualifying for both events. I just cannot get into the English Premiership League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga or Major League Soccer.
Yes, thank you, for posting the schedule.
Thank you for posting. This is very nice of you. I will say a few things… Attn Brazil, three words… Russian Hockey Team. Russia came into the hockey part of the Winter Olympics expecting to gold. They got nothing including a loss to the U.S. who also did a classic choke. I would think they got a wake up call, granted a different sport.
Also, I am sad with this one. The last one for some time on ESPN. While I find them with some arrogance toward their properties, they really did a beautiful job covering and growing the Cup here in the U.S. I dread that Fox will takeover starting the next year (as well as the U.S. Open golf tournament). I would have been happy with NBC/NBCSN if not ESPN. Well, their Telemundo will have the spanish coverage.
U.S. team, pure and simple. Survive Portugal and Germany and get payback on Ghana, then lookout…. Brutal group and they won CONCACAF with Mexico struggling internally during that time.

We are dedicated to providing exceptional customer support by offering access to a broad range of information that our customers need most, such as product and account information, support numbers, technical service and training requests, and more.
I think overall the IMPACT Program has helped in a couple of areas. It helped us to realize that how we deploy machines in the region has a significant impact on the total overall cost of a blood drive. And that the support we received from Haemonetics was probably just as vital as the actual program itself
