The Tibetan Mastiff, as it is a primitive breed of dog, has a set of unique characteristic related solely to the breed. For example, many Tibetan Mastiffs shed their coat once a year, generally in the spring, lasting approximately four weeks.
Tibetan Mastiffs are a clean dog breed and very easily house trained. Lacking the usual canine smell, the fact they do not continual shed has led to Tibetan Mastiff becoming known as a hypoallergenic dog, generally suited to anyone with allergies to dog hair.
When a Tibetan Mastiff is shedding its coat egular grooming in long periods is required. This is to ensure that any loose hair from the undercoat is brought up through the oute coat and not left to become dirty and matted. Although time consuming, it is a very easy process and simply requires a soft but firm downward stroke to the Tibetan Mastiff's coat. Due to the nature of the coat, some owners use a hair dryer to aid the process, as this helps to loosen any hair that may have become slightly knotted in the coat.
The Tibetan Mastiff can live in an apartment life if they are very well exercised. They are not very active indoors.
The native type of dog, which still exists in Tibet, and the Westernized purebred breed can vary in temperament—but so can dogs of identical breeding, within the same litter, raised in the same household. Elizabeth Schuler states, "The few individuals that remain in Tibet are ferocious and aggressive, unpredictable in their behavior, and very difficult to train. But the dogs bred by the English are obedient and attached to their masters." However, other observers have found the dogs remaining in Tibet to be quite approachable under the right circumstances—and some Western-bred dogs to be completely unapproachable. Some Western and Asian breeders are seeking to create a replica of the legendary dog which they identify as the "true Tibetan Mastiff" or "Tsang-khyi". Some breeders appear to select primarily for appearance (great size, profuse coat, heavy wrinkling, jowls, haw) while others also select for "soft" temperament (in the West) and fierce temperament (in Asia where the dogs' "ferocity" is much vaunted and encouraged). As a flock guardian dog in Tibet and in the West, it is tenacious in its ability to confront predators the size of wolves and leopards. As a socialized, more domestic dog, it can thrive in a spacious, fenced yard with a canine companion, but it is generally not an appropriate dog for apartment living. The Western-bred dogs are generally more easy-going, although somewhat aloof with strangers coming to the home. Through hundreds of years of selective breeding for a protective flock and family guardian, the breed has been prized for being a nocturnal sentry, keeping would-be predators and intruders at bay, barking at sounds throughout the night. Leaving a Tibetan Mastiff outside all night with neighbors nearby is not recommended. They often sleep during the day to be more active, alert and aware at night. Like all flock guardian breeds, they are intelligent and stubborn to a fault, so obedience training is recommended (although only mildly successful with some individuals) since this is a strong-willed, powerful breed. Socialization is also critical with this breed because of their reserved nature with strangers and guardian instincts. They are excellent family dogs—for the right family. Owners must understand canine psychology and be willing and able to assume the primary leadership position. Lack of consistent, rational discipline can result in the creation of dangerous, unpredictable dogs(although this is true of virtually every dog breed). Newspaper reports have suggested that a pair of these Mastiffs have killed tigers while guarding sheep in the highlands of Nepal. SOURCE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibetan_Mastiff
Many breeders disagree on the effects of high Coincidence of Inbreeding (C.O.I.). Basically this means that you are breeding close relatives to one another. One new breeder in Alaska is quick to point fingers and "elude" to high incidence of inbreeding causing defects in their dogs; while this same breeder is breeding relatively high C.O.I. (21.37%) this year for their first litter of Tibetan Mastiffs. Why? Whether you agree with their accusations or not; why are they breeding C.O.I.'s close to those that they are blaming for problems? This is how many of the breeders in the Tibetan Mastiff community operate. Very, very hypocritical. This would be a question you would want to have a conversation about with both the breeder and your vet.
Breeding high C.O.I. between dogs with known health issues and temperaments is far different than breeding high C.O.I. with excellent health and temperament issues. There is a lot of debate as to what those numbers are but it is clear that breeding unhealthy dogs is bad practice. Perhaps this is why some breeders wanted Kesang Camp's healthy line so badly. They needed healthy genes to dominate their poor ones.
THERE HAS BEEN MUCH DISCUSSION AND QUESTIONS RAISED REGARDING EPILEPSY IN SOME WELL KNOWN LINES OF TIBETAN MASTIFFS. Here is an article about Epilepsy in the Tibetan Mastiff with a list of some of the lines affected: Epilepsy and Tibetan Mastiff It can be translated by cutting and pasting into Google Translate
Here are a few quotes from the article:
"Quote": Even worse are the breeders, and denounce those who insult them as traitor who speak openly about diseases. Even today, there are always the same, fool who want under pseudonyms or anonymously publicly deny, or to other breeders and owners of affected Tibetan Mastiffs that there is no question of epilepsy. All other diseases and conditions can be used to explain the seizures. Heart problems, allergies, accidents with electric fences, thyroid problems and more used to calm one's own conscience and the troubled puppy buyers. "The Tibetan Mastiffs have been not at all investigated properly ..." breeder that would spread such misinformation to avoid really!
Anyone considering this incomplete list and the resulting affinities hereditary epilepsy in Do-Khyi still disputed, can just as easily deny the Holocaust! "Unquote" Source: http://dokhyijournal.wordpress.com/epilepsie/
Be sure you are getting a pure Tibetan Mastiff. Ask the breeder how many times a year their female is going into heat. This could indicate it is not a purebred Tibetan Mastiff. See Article here. Look at the characteristics of the breeder's dogs. A large thick coat could indicate that the dog has some Chow in it. Some breeders in China are crossbreeding Chows and other breeds into their breeding stock to give them massive looking bone and huge coats. Are their legs short compared to their bodies. Ask to see photos of the dogs at least three generations back in the pedigree. If it looks like a Chow, it might just be part Chow. These practices may cause the dog to lose it's hypoallergenic qualities. Some Chinese imports may be aggressive. Be careful to research your breeder carefully, especially if their pedigrees are coming straight from China.
Many times breeders will only post "show photos" of the dogs it is breeding as opposed to photos of them in their natural habitat. A lot of breeders spray coat enhancing agents on the dogs before a show and use a powerful blow dryer to give the dog the appearance of being twice the size!
Many people believe that Championships can be bought. I agree with this. Breeders will find a show no one else is going to, bring four or five of their own dogs for a self made "major". Thus getting a so-called "championship" without any competition. If you are new to showing be careful not to "show your cards". Breeders will befriend you and then ask you if have entered your dog or puppy in a show. This is done for many reasons. If you have a good dog, they will be "tipped off" to hire the most well known handler to guarantee the win. (Yes, showing is all about politics!). Another reason is if they know you are bringing a puppy, they will bring their "class dog" because in most instances the judge will put up a class dog over a puppy. These are just a few of the "tricks of the trade". Here is a very good article that goes deeper into the subject: "Dog Show Politics"
The history of the Tibetan Mastiff – the large guardian dog of Tibet – is hidden in the mists of legend, along with the people of the high Himalayan Mountains and the plains of Central Asia. Accurate records of the genetic heritage of the dogs are non-existent. Even so, history has reserved a special place for the Tibetan Mastiff. They are considered by many to be the basic stock from which most modern large working breeds, including all mastiffs and mountain dogs, have developed. Even though a great deal has been written about them since the 17th Century, there are few specific details available. Earliest written accounts place a large dog around 1100 BC in China. Skulls of large dogs date from the stone and bronze ages. Ancestors of today's Mastiff breeds are believed to have accompanied the armies of the Assyrians, Persians, Greeks and Romans and later, traveled with Atilla the Hun and Genghis Khan as far west as Europe. During these centuries, it is believed that the Tibetan Mastiff remained isolated on the high plateaus and valleys of the Himalaya to develop into the magnificent animal so highly prized by the people of Tibet. Today in Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan and other Himalayan regions, a pure Tibetan Mastiff is hard to find, though they are still bred by the nomads of the Chang-Tang plateau. They are bred and live at an average altitude of 16,000 feet, and some are brought to the Barkhor, the market that surrounds the Jokhang Temple, the holiest temple for Tibetan Buddhists, for sale. Although Tibetan Mastiffs are traditionally kept tied to the gates of the house or monastery, or tied to stakes in the nomad camps, they are let loose at night. In addition, when the flocks are moved to higher pasture, the Tibetan Mastiffs were traditionally left behind to guard the tents and the children The dogs are expected to defend the flocks of goats, sheep and yak, the women and the children and the tents of their masters against predators such as wolves and snow leopards, as well as human intruders. Prior to the early 1800's, few Westerners were allowed into Tibet so little was known about Tibetan dogs. In accounts of visits to Tibet by early travelers, very little mention was made of the dogs they encountered. Marco Polo wrote of the dogs in Tibet being as large as donkeys, and Jesuit missionaries in the 17th Century, wrote of the ferocious, huge dogs ("Many of the Thibetan dogs are uncommon and extraordinary. They are black with rather long glossy hair, very big and sturdily built, and their bark is most alarming" I. Desideri, 1712). In 1800 Captain Samuel Turner, in his "An account of an Embassy to the Court of the Teshoo Lama in Tibet" mentioned his experience with huge dogs ("The mansion stood upon the right; on the left was a row of wooden cages, containing a number of huge dogs, tremendously fierce, strong and noisy. They were natives of Tibet; and whether savage by nature, or soured by confinement, they were so impetuously furious, that it was unsafe, unless the keepers were near, eve to approach their dens."). In 1847, Lord Hardinge, Viceroy of India, sent a "large dog from Tibet" called "Siring" to Queen Victoria. England had its first dog show in 1859; and in 1873, The Kennel Club was formed with the first Stud Book containing pedigrees of 4027 dogs. In the official classification made by The Kennel Club (England), the "large dog from Tibet" was officially designated the "Tibetan Mastiff" for the first time. Two more Tibetan Mastiffs were brought into England in 1874 by the then Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII) and they were exhibited at the Alexandra Palace Show, December 1875. From then until 1928, there was a trickle of imports into England and Europe. In 1928, the Hon. Colonel and Mrs. Bailey imported four Tibetan Mastiffs which they obtained while Colonel Bailey was on duty as Political Officer in Sikkim, Nepal, and Tibet. In 1931 Mrs. Bailey formed the Tibetan Breeds Association in England and the first official standard for the breed was adopted by The Kennel Club. It was also the standard used by the Federation Cynologique Internationale (FCI). In the late 1950's, two Tibetan Mastiffs were sent from Tibet to President Eisenhower. They were taken to a farm in the midwest and nothing more was heard of them. Beginning in 1969, several Tibetan Mastiffs were imported from Nepal and India into the US. The American Tibetan Mastiff Assoication was formed in 1974, with a dog imported from Nepal, Jumla's Kalu of Jumla as its dog #001. The first National Specialty Match was held in the USA in connection with the California Rare Breeds Dog Association in October 1979 and the first National Specialty Show was held in 1983. The close relationship of the Tibetan Mastiff with man throughout the centuries has given the dog a almost uncanny "human" understanding. Generations of working as a guardian of yak, sheep and, more importantly, women and children, requiring always a protector and not a killer, has produced a disposition and temperament of controlled strength, initiative, and fearlessness, tempered with patience, loyalty, and gentleness. At the April 2006 Board Meeting the Tibetan Mastiff became eligible for AKC registration on September 1, 2006 and was eligible to compete in the Working Group at shows held on and after January 1, 2007. There will be an open registry for the breed until August 31, 2009. At the August 2004 Board Meeting the Tibetan Mastiff was approved to compete in the Miscellaneous Class this became effective January 1, 2005. In December 2003 the AKC Board approved the eligibility of some Foundation Stock breeds, which meet certain criteria, for competition in AKC Companion Events (Obedience, Tracking, and Agility), effective January 1, 2004. The breeds must have a minimum of 150 dogs with three generation pedigrees recorded in the FSS®, a national breed club with members in at least 20 states, and an AKC approved breed standard. The Tibetan Mastiff was one of 20 breeds who met the requirements. Requests by breed clubs to have their breeds compete in the various Performance Events would be considered on a case-by-case basis. The Tibetan Mastiff was recorded in the AKC Foundation Stock Service in 1996.

Canine Hip Dysplasia (CHD) takes many forms, e.g., the femoral head ("ball") may not fit well into the acetabulum ("socket"); the ligament connecting the two may be lax, allowing dislocation; there may be no femoral head at all. Not all forms cause clinical signs. Very active, well-muscled dogs with no femoral heads may show no impairment. Their owners may be unaware of their dogs' "hip dysplasia" unless/until there is a reason to x-ray the hips.
As with all dog breeds, hip dysplasia is caused by the interaction of genes and environment. Inheritance of CHD appears to be polygenic, i.e., it is caused by more than one gene. Mode of inheritance (dominant, recessive, dominant with incomplete penetrance, etc.)has not been determined but may be different in different breeds. Rapid growth and weight gain in puppies may trigger or exacerbate a genetic tendency to all sorts of skeletal problems. Many TM breeders recommend against feeding "puppy food" and especially against feeding "large-breed" puppy food, as these concoctions may contain too many calories, leading to fat puppies. Some breeders and owners believe that supplementation with Vitamin C may prevent the development of CHD even in dogs with the genes for it.
Canine Inherited Demyelinative Neuropathy is an inherited condition that appeared in one of the prominent lines of Tibetan Mastiffs in the early 1980s. CIDN affect the peripheral nervous system. Nerve fibers are unable to transmit impulses from the spinal cord to the muscles because of the breakdown of the myelin sheath. Starting at approximately six weeks of age, affected pups begin to lose the ability to walk or even stand. Progression of the condition can take anywhere from a few days to two weeks.[3]
Because this condition is inherited as a simple autosomal recessive, it is virtually impossible to completely eliminate it from the gene pool. One known carrier was bred to over 30 times, producing at least 134 direct descendants. Many descendants of this dog are still being bred so there is always the risk—however slim—of producing more affected puppies. Breeders need to be cautious about pairing up any two descendants of this dog.
Hypothyroidism is fairly common in Tibetan Mastiffs, as it is in many large "Northern" breeds. TMs should be tested periodically throughout their lives using a complete thyroid "panel". (Simple T2/T4 testing is virtually useless.) However, because the standard thyroid levels were established using domestic dog breeds, test results must be considered in the context of what is "normal" for the breed, not what is normal across all breeds. Many TMs will have "low" thyroid values but no clinical symptoms. Vets—and owners—differ on the relative merits of medicating dogs who "test low" but are completely asymptomatic. Some researchers think that asymptomatic hypothyroidism may have been adaptive in the regions of origin for many breeds, since less nutrition is required for the dog to stay in good condition. Therefore, attempts to eliminate "low thyroid" dogs from the TM gene pool may have unintended consequences for the breed.
In affected dogs, symptoms may include decreased activity and playing, increased sleeping, weight gain, poor skin and coat condition such as flaking and scaling, a "yeasty" smell to the coat, frequent ear infections, and negative changes in temperament. Fortunately, this condition is easily treated by the use of daily thyroid supplementation.
Osteochondritis Dessicans is a skeletal defect in which the cartilage lifts off the bone, becomes thickened and cracked, causes inflammation and pain, and in severe cases degeneration of the joint. This conditions strikes males more than females. Keeping an affected puppy lean may help but surgery may be required to relieve pain.
Panosteitis is inflammation of the bones that strikes young dogs. The animal will become lame in one leg and then the inflammation will shift to a different leg. This is one condition that corrects itself over time, and only pain medication is needed.
Hypertrophic Osteodystrophy (HOD) is a condition that affects young large breed dogs. It is very painful and prognosis is fair to poor due to recurring episodes of the condition. Clinical signs of HOD include fever, lack of appetite, and depression. Lameness may vary from mild to severe. With multiple limbs affected, the dog may be reluctant to stand or walk. HOD may be mistaken for Panosteitis without proper diagnosis.
Treatment is only supportive. Intravenous fluids are usually required to keep the patient hydrated. Nutritional support is provided with a feeding tube if the dog refuses to eat for five or more days. Pain is controlled with narcotics and NSAIDs. Antibiotics are used if the dog has signs of pneumonia or other bacterial infections. If the bones become twisted due to growth plate damage, corrective surgery may be indicated. Because the distemper vaccination has been implicated, inoculation should be delayed until the pet has been in remission for a couple of months. Information from http://www.vetsurgerycentral.com/hod.htm
Ear Infections can be serious and the dog should be taken to the vet if you see it shaking its head or scratching more than normal. Tibetan Mastiffs have pendant ears, making them more prone to ear infections. The vet needs to determine the cause, and may prescribe antibiotics and/or ear drops. Some ear infections are contagious to other dogs if they involve mites or some bacteria.

The Tibetan Mastiff needs to be taken on daily walks. While out on the walk the dog must be made to heel beside or behind the person holding the lead, as in a dog's mind the leader leads the way, and that leader needs to be the human. Be careful that the bones, muscles, and joints of the young dog are not overworked during the growing stage by not overdoing the physical side of its life. However they will still need to walk each day to satisfy their migration instinct.

Illustration of a Tibetan mastiff skull by Frédéric Cuvier
Currently, some breeders differentiate between two "types" of Tibetan Mastiff: The Do-khyi and the "Tsang-khyi". The "Tsang-khyi" (which, to a Tibetan, means only "dog from Tsang") is also referred to as the "monastery type", described as generally taller, heavier, more heavily boned, with more facial wrinkling and haw than the "Do-khyi" or "nomad type". Both "types" are often produced in the same litter.
Males can reach heights up to 31+ inches (80+cm) at the withers, although the standard for the breed is typically in the 25 to 28 inch (61 to 72 cm) range. The heaviest TM on record may be one weighing over 130 kg (286.6 Lbs)[citation needed] but dogs bred in the West are more typically between 140 lb (64 kg) to 180 lb (82 kg)—especially if they are in good condition and not overweight. The enormous dogs being produced in some Western and some Chinese kennels would have "cost" too much to keep fed to have been useful to nomads; and their questionable structure would have made them well-nigh useless as livestock guardians.
The Tibetan Mastiff is considered a primitive breed. It typically retains the instincts which would be required for it to survive in Tibet, including canine pack behaviour. In addition, it is one of the few primitive dog breeds that retains a single oestrus per year instead of two, even at much lower altitudes and in much more temperate climates than its native climate. This characteristic is also found in wild canids such as the wolf. Since its oestrus usually takes place during late fall, most Tibetan Mastiff puppies are born between December and January.[2]
Its double coat is long, subject to climate, and found in a wide variety of colors, including solid black, black & tan, various shades of gold, blue/gray, chocolate brown, the rarest being solid white.
The coat of a Tibetan Mastiff lacks the unpleasant "big-dog smell" that affects many large breeds. The coat, whatever its length or color(s), should shed dirt and odors. Although the dogs shed somewhat throughout the year, there is generally one great "molt" in late winter or early spring and sometimes another, lesser molt in the late summer or early fall. (Sterilization of the dog or bitch may dramatically affect the coat as to texture, density, and shedding pattern.)
Tibetan Mastiffs are shown under one standard in the West, but separated by the Indian breed standard into two varieties:[citation needed] Lion Head (smaller; exceptionally long hair from forehead to withers, creating a ruff or mane) and Tiger Head (larger; shorter hair).

It only counts if you wear a Wonderbra.
I don't even see the point of being a cross-dresser if you live in Ft. Worth. It takes alot of commitment to dress "like a woman" there, between the inch of makeup, the manicure, and the once or twice-weekly hair appointments, not to mention the huge amounts of closet space required. Basically, even the women are huge drag queens.
I'm kidding, I'm kidding. I live in Austin and it's a knee-jerk reaction to make fun of our northerly neighbors, or, as we like to call them, "The Threat from the North".

Your precious skin is soft, beautiful and able to produce vitamin D from sunlight. It guards your muscles, bones, ligaments and internal organs. It's your barrier to the elements, the first line of defense, and protects your body against pathogens. In order to perform the important task of protecting, your skin needs to be healthy and balanced.
While we all spend plenty of time nourishing the skin of our face, neck and décolleté, we sometimes tend to neglect the skin of the rest of our body. That's why today, I'd like to talk to you about the health benefits of dry skin brushing!
Start by finding a brush of excellent quality, made from materials that are natural. The bristles should be firm but not too hard. Most organic food stores that have a skin care department also sell suitable brushes. A brush with a long handle would be best as the handle allows you to reach your back.
The pressure you apply on the brush should be firm but brushing should never hurt or irritate your skin. After the session your skin should glow and look rosy, not red and irritated.
Try to add your brushing ritual to your daily body care regimen, like before you take a shower or a bath. Some people prefer to brush in the morning because they feel invigorated afterwards, but for some people it is really a more calming routine, suitable before taking a bath in the evening. Take as much time as you like but don't overdo it as this will only irritate your skin. An average session will take about 5 to 15 minutes.
As the purpose of dry brushing is to assist your lymphatic system as well as blood circulation, you always brush towards your heart, starting at your feet. You can brush your whole body but it is recommended to use a softer brush for the genital area, your breasts, décolleté, neck and face as your skin is much more delicate in these areas. Also, areas of your body where the skin is irritated should be brushed with a softer brush or even avoided.
Many people experience an overall feeling of well-being when they add regular dry brushing into their daily skin care routine. Their skin feels soft and tight, it relaxes them and they feel connected to their body. Some people see their cellulite reducing and others say they feel fitter and are able to think more clearly.
Try it for yourself and find out what benefits regular brushing will bring you!

The Story of My Life Thus Far
Here's how it goes ….
Hope –> Anxiety –> Disappointment –> Grief –> Beauty –> Hope.
Wash. Rinse. Repeat.
I don't think I need to say another word. Ever.
…. Not that this will stop me, of course.
For Those of You That Meditate …
I've got some questions for you. I notice, for myself, that my interest in and commitment to meditation changes depending on my inner circumstances. When I am suffering in some way, I meditate more (which for me means taking time out from the normal flow of my life, sitting still, cutting out as much outer noise as possible, and working with my attention in a particular way). On the other hand, when I am feeling lots of joy and expansion in my waking life, I tend to do more present moment awareness practices (which have to do with feeling into the oneness and connectedness that is accessible to me in the normal flow of life). But there are so many different ways to meditate and work with suffering and oneness and intentional attention focus. So, I'm curious …
1. If you meditate, why? What motivates you?
2. Are you inspired more by philosophy (a theory or idea) or by experience (like an attempt to repeat an inner experience)?
3. What, if any, imagery do you rely on to help you meditate?
4. Can you tell me anything about the journey you go through while you meditate (like, in a single sitting)? Or, across multiple sittings, have you noticed common patterns in what you experience inwardly?
5. What kind of shift do you notice in yourself after a sitting? (Might be subtle or profound, probably depending on the particular sitting. Just anything you want to share.)
Feel free to answer any or all. Thanks.

Race for the Cure
This Sunday at the crack of dawn, I'm headed down to Denver to walk with thousands of folks in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure to raise money and awareness in the fight against breast cancer. I'll be walking with a team of people supporting a friend of mine who was recently diagnosed with a pretty advanced version of it and is now participating in a clinical trial. I personally have had problems on and off with fibrous cysts in my breasts since age 18. So, breast cancer is something that I personally have had to keep an eye out for. There was a bit of a scary episode there in my 20's when a doc wanted to biopsy me (since I was too young for a mammogram). But I then I discovered non-Western medicine and have had good luck managing any recurrences with acupuncture.
Anyway, breast cancer is a personal issue for me. If you'd like to support me by helping me raise some moola for the cause, you can donate here. Anything helps.

'PreOvar' Ovarian Cancer Risk Assessment Test
September 2010
The Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) recognizes the importance of identifying genetic factors that increase ovarian cancer risk. Mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are relatively rare, but clearly have been shown in multiple studies to dramatically increase ovarian cancer risk. Mutation carriers are advised to undergo close surveillance during the childbearing years and ultimately to have a prophylactic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.
With the emergence of powerful genomic technologies, knowledge of human genetic variation has been expanding rapidly. Associations have been reported between a number of genetic variants and ovarian cancer risk. Many of these variants are much more common than BRCA1/2 mutations, although they purportedly increase ovarian cancer risk to a much lesser degree. However, most genetic variants that have initially been reported to affect ovarian cancer risk have not been validated in subsequent studies. This likely reflects the potential for false-discovery that is inherent in genomic research that studies thousands of genes.
Recently, MiraDx began marketing the PreOvar test, which examines a genetic variant in the KRAS gene that disrupts a let-7 microRNA binding site. This genetic variant was reported in one publication to increase ovarian cancer risk, particularly in the setting of a positive family history. Although the SGO recognizes the benefit and potential utility of ovarian cancer risk assessment tests, we believe that the clinical value of the PreOvar test remains unknown until further validation studies are performed. Insufficient data exist presently to recommend this test as a tool for better defining ovarian cancer risk.

Rose Quartz
Rose Quartz has become the symbol of reconciliation in love because of the myth of Aphrodite, rushing to save Adonis who was being attacked by Ares in the form of a boar, caught herself on a briar bush. Their mingled blood stained the white quartz pink and Zeus took pity on them and restored Adonis to Aphrodite for six months of the year. Said to be a stone of unconditional love and infinite peace. Gently draws off negative energy replacing it with loving.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Cisco Systems(CSCO) - Get Report stock popped overnight as its earnings beat low expectations.
But beneath the happy talk and careful management of the street -- Cisco shares had been falling into earnings -- lies a company that remains tied to carrier customers and is unable to prosper in new markets.
For its most recent quarter, Cisco reported net income of 51 cents per share on $11.5 billion in revenue, beating expectations of 48 cents per share in earnings and $11.36 billion in revenue. Sterne Agee raised its estimates on the stock with a price target of $26 per share. It was trading at $24.38 as of 10 a.m. Thursday, up 6.9% for the day and 3.7% year to date.
That sounds good, but a year ago Cisco had 13% more net income and 6% more in sales. The bottom line improvement was spurred by layoffs.
Cisco rose to prominence in the 1990s as companies built their own networks. It was, briefly, the world's most valuable company, in the year 2000, with a market cap of over $500 billion. Cisco's market cap today is about $117 billion.
Its slump came as phone companies gradually replaced traditional switches with data networking. Tech investors know if you're looking to carriers for growth you're headed for a bad place. And on Internet issues like net neutrality, long-time CEO John Chambers now parrots the carrier line.
In the last few years the company has made several moves to get out of that box, but each has been quietly abandoned.
Consumer products? In the last years Cisco has spun out its Linksys router unit to Belkin and dropped its Flip mini-camcorder. Technology analysts say it has abandoned the small to medium business market as well.
WATCH: More tech videos on TheStreet TV
A social strategy? Cisco entered this market with a product called Quad enterprise social networking, re-branded it to WebEx, its online conferencing product, and has now abandoned it in favor of working with Jive Software (JIVE) .
The Internet of Things? The general manager of that group, Guido Jouret, quietly resigned this month to be replaced by Rod Soderbery, general manager for enterprise networking.
Now Chambers is telling his troops that security will be a key focus and loudly proclaiming Cisco will "crush" VMware(VMW) - Get Report in the cloud with a software-defined networking unit called Insieme. Chambers also proclaims interest in the public cloud market with an offering called InterCloud but its strategy there is called fuzzy at best.
None of these new technology areas -- consumer, social, Internet of Things, or even cloud -- has produced a positive hit to revenue. Cisco's latest quarter was driven by mobile carriers increasing their network capacity in the U.S. and northern Europe, while sales in emerging markets sagged.
That's why the technology press is quietly hearing rumors that Chambers may be heading out the door. He turns 65 this year and, while he's as legendary in his business as Larry Ellison of Oracle(ORCL) - Get Report is in database software, he occupies a fading niche.
John Chambers and Cisco may be able to fool Wall Street, but how much longer can they fool Sand Hill Road in Silicon Valley?

Rhine 2020 – Program on the sustainable development of the Rhine
In January 2001, the ministers in charge of the Rhine adopted "Rhine 2020", the "Programme on the Sustainable Development of the Rhine" following the most successful "Rhine Action Programme" (1987-2000). It determines the general objectives of Rhine protection policy and the measures required for their implementation for the next 20 years, including surface requirements and deadlines. Intermediate objectives have been defined with a view to success control. The Balance on the Implementation of the Measures of the Programme "Rhine 2020" until 2005 shows first success but also that further efforts are required, e.g. when enhancing the variety of river banks.
Core parts of the programme "Rhine 2020" are
- the implementation of Rhine habitat patch connectivity
- Salmon 2020
- the improvement of flood mitigation by implementing the Action Plan on Floods
- the indispensable further improvement of water quality and
- groundwater protection
- The continuous surveillance of the state of the Rhine and further improvement of water quality continue to be an essential part of ICPR work.
"Rhine 2020" supports the implementation of the EC-Water Framework Directive and will contribute to achieving a "good chemical and ecological state" in the Rhine watershed. The programme also enhances the implementation of the EC-Flood Management Directive.

Though it is a completely creative industry with more practicality and realistic approach to everyone, the sentiment is something which runs strong and in some instances it actually dominates everything. There are many who have their own set of sentiments and it might sound unusual but then these sentiments have also been showing some results.
It is heard that during the shooting of the magnum opus 'Baahubali' there was a sentiment that almost everyone in the cast and crew had beards on and they didn't remove them till the entire shooting got completed. That way, all of them were seen with beards during shootings and the result for that is known to all.
Now it appears that the same is happening for yet another magnum opus Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy. It is being noticed that the film's director Surendar Reddy and producer Ram Charan and almost every team member is being seen with a full grown beard. Given the planning for this project, this beard syndrome is expected to be there for at least a year.

During my 9 year relationship with my husband, we've been apart several times (mostly for business trips). It's funny because even though we know we'll miss each other we get excited about it in a way. We know we will be giddy and excited to talk to one another. We won't have a chance to send text messages or have short phone conversations throughout the day. We'll be deprived of our half-dozen interactions we normally have because of the meetings, training schedules and other work related restraints on my time. By the time I'd get to my hotel room, we'd be dying to talk to each other.
What I've learned is that my love language is quality time and even though there was distance there was also connection. We didn't have the daily routine to interfere and distract us. We'd talk for hours on the phone and that took me back to why our relationship was so great to begin with. When we were dating we'd spend hours just talking. Somewhere down the road we ran out of things to talk about for hours on end, work got in the way and running the house consumed our time. So these business trips had a way of taking us back to when things were more simple in our relationship and helped us to reconnect. It's been a couple of years since either one of us has been on a business trip but we know how to get to that place without needing the space. When we start to go over the bumps that signal a rough patch ahead we know that we need to do a better job of connecting. We'll have late night talks on the couch, he'll keep me company while I prepare a meal in the kitchen, or just go for a family adventure. It's taken a few years for us to realize why these brief periods of distance helped us so much. It's not because we needed a break from each other or because we needed a separation but because it made us feel closer to one another.
Don't forget to checkout the new Facebook community displaying everyday kindness!
If you haven't discovered what your love language is, check out this post to discover more!
Can you relate? Have you had a similar experience? Does distance make the heart grow fonder or farther in your relationship? Have you discovered what your love language is? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments section!

Surviving the family business of death
A third-generation funeral director digs into the constructive compassion of his work
This is the third story in our Night Shift series about working in a different rhythm.
A t their home in Clinton, Louisiana, 16-year-old G.J. Charlet the third, who'd only earned his driver's license a few days before, found himself being shaken awake at 2 a.m. by his father, G.J. Charlet the second: "Put on a suit, we're going for a pick up," said the elder Charlet to his bleary-eyed son, "I need you to drive so I can sleep."
Not long after, the younger Charlet, now 43 years old, got behind the wheel of the hearse belonging to the family business — The Charlet Family Funeral Home and Monument Company — his father snoozing in the passenger seat.
It wasn't an entirely unusual scenario, given his father, a second generation funeral director, often worked nights. But this was the first time Charlet would be assisting.
"A residential death call is always a crapshoot," he says, recalling that night. "You never know what you're going to find, what condition the house is going to be in, or the body. Each case is completely different."
Into the unknown
Though Charlet had no intention of following his brother and two sisters into the family business, he nonetheless discovered he had an aptitude for the job. "I didn't realize how much counseling and empathy was required, that was tough at first," he says.
Many assume that people who work in the funereal business have some kind of morbid fascination with death, or at least an inherent immunity to its profound tragedy. Charlet is quick to assure that no super-human feat is required to do this kind of work.
In fact, one of the toughest lessons he and his siblings had to learn is the difference between constructive compassion and destructive empathy — a lesson Charlet first encountered when he had the harrowing experience of arranging a funeral for a newborn baby.
"I brought it back to the funeral home and just burst into tears. It reminded me of my baby girl at home," he recalls. "My uncle, who was working with my father at the time, said: 'You have to figure out how to be compassionate without grieving with the family. Your job is to serve them in the best way you can without letting your emotions cloud your judgment. You have to hold that part of yourself back. It's what they need from you.'"
As for the gross stuff? Charlet says he was surprised to find he could handle that a lot better than he'd expected.
But beyond rigor mortis, strange noises and even stranger smells, he maintains that the second most challenging aspect of the job — one his father was particularly masterful at — is juggling the constant demand amidst a sea of unknowns.
"With a residential death, no matter the time of day, you've got to pick up the body immediately," Charlet explains, "There are often situations where you'll get a call at 8:00 o'clock at night, another at midnight, another at 3 a.m. and then another call at 6:00 o'clock the next morning. If the cards aren't in your favor, you'll likely have to get at least one of them prepared for a funeral the next day."
A scoutmaster father and squabbling siblings
"Planning a funeral is like planning a wedding, except you only have three days to plan it and everyone's depressed," Charlet jokes.
With so much to do and the constant loom of deadlines, practicing constructive compassion proves even more essential to delivering the best service.
"My sisters, they're people pleasers," says Charlet. "The problem is, as funeral directors, we're the ones who have to step in say when we think a particular ceremony or arrangement is a bad idea. If you don't figure that stuff out upfront, it creates a mess down the line."
If his sisters had heeded his, and their father's ("the scoutmaster") advice, Charlet wouldn't have found himself on a farm in the middle of an ill-advised funeral procession, trying to prevent a casket from crashing off the back of a horse-drawn carriage. "That could have been a total disaster," he adds.
"I know they're trying to be compassionate towards the family," Charlet reconciles, "It's really tough. But I always try to remind them — and myself — that there's a thin line between being accommodating and actually being helpful."
Coming full circle
When your siblings are your coworkers, it's hard to be critical in the work environment without bringing up issues from childhood.
"The bully is always the bully, the peacemaker is always the peacemaker," says Charlet.
But as they've grown accustomed to working together, Charlet recognizes that the benefits of working with his siblings far outweigh their bickering over business practices. For one thing, they often share the load of their unpredictable work, ensuring that each of them gets to attend recitals, school plays, birthdays, new year's parties and other family events.
Looking back on his relationship with his family, Charlet reminisces over his reluctant start in the business.
"My dad came to me like we were in a scene from 'The Godfather' and said, 'Son you've got to come work for the family, you'll have more time and make better money.' I told him it's not about the money," says Charlet.
"But now, working at the funeral home with my siblings has given me a lot more flexibility and time with my family. And the money's better. Dad was right."

Margarita Grisales, Sr. Manager, Digital Marketing, Golf Channel

"Rather than having to use nearly 100 different tools I can access them all in the same location with Searchmetrics.

Singapore/Mysore– 02 September 2014 – Conexxion Tech announced today it has been short-listed for Red Herring's Top 100 Asia award, a prestigious list honoring the year's most promising private technology ventures in Asia. The short-listed companies are asked to present their winning strategies at the Red Herring Asia Forum in Manila, Sept. 14 to 16, 2015 - the final stage of the Top 100 competition. The Top 100 winners will be announced during a special award ceremony the evening of Sept. 16, after the final score is handed out by the judges, thus concluding the three-day event.
The Red Herring editorial team selected the most innovative companies from a pool of hundreds from across the continent. The nominees are evaluated on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technological innovation, quality of management, execution of strategy, and integration into their respective industries.
This unique assessment of potential is complemented by a review of company track records and standings, which allows Red Herring to see past the "buzz" and make the list a valuable tool for discovering and advocating for the best business opportunities in the industry.
"We are very happy and honoured to be shortlisted for the prestigious 2015 RED HERRING TOP 100 Asia Award" said Ramkumar Sarma, CEO of Conexxion Tech.
"Entrepreneurship in Asia has reached an inflexion point, and as a result, Red Herring Asia 2015 has shifted into a new phase," said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. "A second generation of entrepreneurs with CEO backgrounds is emerging and their execution skills and global ambitions lead to restless growth and amazing journeys. As importantly, we are seeing more companies from countries once absent from innovation circles. Conexxion Tech shows great promise and therefore deserves to be among the short-listed companies. Now we're faced with the difficult task of selecting the Top 100 winners of Red Herring Asia. We know that the 2015 crop will reward us for long and continued efforts in scouting disruptive companies in Asia. The wealth of talent and achievements displayed by Red Herring Asia finalists is an excellent predictor for the new wave of revolutionary technology."
The four walls of an office don't guarantee great ideas or successful product/solution building. Sometimes it's necessary to break the wall of mediocrity and go beyond the parameters to reach a new creative height. The certitude is that the most productive sessions generally take place off-site at a relaxed milieu, where people feel liberated and hassle-free to speak up. One such tradition is spurred in this 2014 born telecom networking company, Conexxion Tech Pte Ltd. - where innovative brain storming session befalls during the team outing in the midst of solitudes. Such out-of-the-box convention acts as an icebreaker in getting the creative juices flowing. For Connexion, a great brainstorming session captures all brilliant and freewheeling ideas which trigger the company's revenues.
The young startup have carved a niche of its own and is an emerging player in the telecom network business whose main aim is to support and grow with leaders in the industry. Through its unique top notch process and delivery models, the company offers services like Management and Business Consulting, IT Consulting, Bespoke Application Development, Training and Telecom. With a team of experienced professionals who have technology and innovation ingrained in their DNA, its skilled talent pool provides the right mix of strategic IT consultancy services and technology skills to ensure timely delivery of services. Having holistic approach in creating optimal value for their clients, the team at Conexxion has successfully brought together the best of technology and human resources.
The organization was incepted by Ramkumar Sarma, who attributes its success to his employees. "Our core values and philosophy are our employees. Whatever our profit is, it is because of our people, hence for us, our people are the most important force. We want our employees to be happy as it is the road to productivity," says Ramkumar Sarma, CEO, Conexxion Tech Pte Ltd. Built on the core pillars of nurturing a supportive environment, what started with 3 people today serves as a sweet home to its 200+ employees. Having a culture that fosters hard work and personal growth, Conexxion has rejuvenated the work environment with fun via its media room and game rooms.
"Organizations should have a workplace where employees don't dread to go every day. Infact, they should look forward to going to their jobs," adds Ramkumar. As culture sustains employee enthusiasm, keeping employees happy with their careers should be a major priority for every employer. Thereby, Conexxion has established itself as a preferred work place for its workforce through its employee-friendly policies. The work-culture vested in the organization is all about flexibility and equality, which in return alleviates the work related stress and ensures a stable work and personal life of its associates.
Unlike the rest of the peers, Conexxion has created a safe and healthy work environment for not just female but male employees as well. With a box filled of happy fortunes, except the Team Leads, the organization's entire back office is run by freshers. The HR of the company has instigated such woman safety norms which has shown tremendous growth of woman employees and have attracted the best brains of the industry. With a vision to develop and support a global standard in providing comprehensive customized IT solutions, the firm will be soon having the soft launch of its banking product at a Global Exhibition in Delhi.
Undeniably, automation has been considered as the new-age talisman, especially for the financial connoisseurs. From pens and books to software which are omnipresent today, banks are witnessing their dreams of cutting costs and achieving highest operational efficiencies, seizing life. But, while marquee banking names are happily following this suite of acquiring the bigger piece in the cake, many co-operative banks are still a mile behind to come under the new normal's limelight. Thus, to propel those micro-banks to relish the delights of automated banking systems and rub shoulders with the pioneers of the industry, Y-Axis - an emerging IT solutions and banking & finance products company - kicked off a concept of 360o view revolutionary platform which is set to create a milestone in the banking industry with the name X360 Micro.
The proud venture of Conexxion Holdings, Y-Axis is a 2009 born entity which has been instrumental in proffering a perfect blend of 100 years of combined work experiences, pragmatic strategies and best minds and also has been successful in embracing over 100 customers across the continuum of banking, education and general HRMS sectors. Incepted as a banking services company, but now evolving to be a product company, Y-Axis is the outcome of the collective thoughts of experienced banking, finance and IT professionals. Spearheaded by the seasoned banker Dr. Vijesh R (Head - BFSI Vertical), the company has a track record of leaving no stone unturned in consistently providing cost effective solutions which are backed by constant research. Along with Y-Axis, Conexxion Holdins possesses the pride of another venture namely Conexxion Tech - a Singapore headquartered product development and IT solutions company, renowned for telecom consulting services, top-notch processes and delivery model.
Born to the eminent excellence of Y-Axis, X360 Micro is the brainchild of the brand X360 and is architected to upgrade the micro-finance institutions to IT along with well-established banks. Unveiled in the Global Exhibition on Services organized in Delhi, X360 Micro has already carved a niche of its own amongst 10 co-operative banks in India. Powered by well-tested and finely executed strategies, the platform stresses on making the tiresome processes of loan insurance, deposits (fixed and recurring), borrowings, insurance, daybook accounging entries, reports and year-end profit distribution that include thrift and dividend, simpler and hassle-free.
Keeping customers at the helm of its every endeavor, X360 Micro is designed to help banks and financial institutions to enable the essence of transparency, reliability, quality service, easy access, integrity, satisfaction and confidence, and in turn luring them to enhance customer bonding. The systems of the platform which run smooth on clients' pockets also trigger easy-to-manage operations by positioning users in sync with the latest advancements. "X360 Micro has a better advantage over the locally developed software. Apart from other benefits, the product goes a mile further by giving a heads up before a particular load goes delinquent," proclaims a proud Vijesh. The product is readily available in desktop versions and soon going to hit the market. BY early 2016, the company is planning to launch browser based version as a Java platform, which targests international markets of Africa & APAC and by 2017, the product will be a comprehensive suite which will own complete automated process work-flow.
The complete core-banking solution, X360 CBS is another marvel of the brand X360 which provides banks and micro-finance institutions, bliss of a comprehensive, completely integrated loan management solution that includes front-office loan origination system as well as a back-office loan administration system. Continuing the legacy of delivering unique banking products, Y-Axis is marching towards re-defining the banking industry with X360's complete core banking platforms by 2020.
Gone are the days when a teacher would call out names of each student in a class to mark their attendance during the morning roll call. Old diary based systems in academic institutions are now slowly being parted away, as education institutions need more integrated solutions that not only fix few specific pieces but solve the entire puzzle. While on other side, ensuring safety of school going children is a major botheration to parents, reasoned to their busy work life and increasing number of crimes against children. Dubai headquartered Y-Axis Technologies, realized the criticality of these simple yet precarious daily affairs and developed i-Smart School, an ERP solution to help Schools/Colleges automate their entire administrative activities as well as ensure safety of students.
Sharing one of the intricate instances of schooling, Nitin Damodaran, CSO and Member of Management Board, Y-Axis Technologies, says, "Imagine a 5 years old kid who sleeps away in the bus while coming back from school and the driver forgets to notice it. Similar situations where a child misses the bus or gets into a wrong bus and eventually ends up landing at a place alien to him/her. In absence of proper methodologies to track their locus, it could become a situation of fright for the child, parents and the school administration. A technology solution of iSMARTs' caliber is instrumental in ensuring prevention even before the need of cure arises."
The 2009 founded Y-Axis Technologies has created a niche with its all encompassing solution that covers end-to-end functions of a school, ranging from admission & enrollment, attendance, payroll, transport, hostel management, accounting & finance, and tracking the locus of children within and outside school premises. The tracking and safety feature of iSMARTs has been powered by RFID tags integrated with school ID-cards. This eliminates the need for manual attendance as well as keeps track of school students while they are commuting, through RFID readers installed in the busses. iSMARTs' active notification feature sends SMS and E-mail updates to parents about the real time location of their children.
Y-Axis Technologies also boasts of having a dedicated social interaction platform where parents, teachers and students can interact and share ideas with each other. On the same lines, iSMARTs also features digital diary which simplifies and streamlines communication between parents and school administration. The cloud based software allows users to access every bit of information on child's activities and academic performance without time and place constraints. This ultimately reduces paper work and eliminates the need of maintaining piles of registers to keep student records.
Throwing light on the roadmap ahead, Nitin adds, "All our products are aimed at emerging markets that are cost sensitive and need to be addressed with solutions that are simple, cost effective yet generating significant value. We are looking at global expansion especially in countries like India, Bangladesh and Africa."

|HELP! Towing a jeep
|Could someone please tell me the truth about towing a Jeep Wrangler on all 4 wheels? I'm looking at buying a Wrangler to pull behing my 30' Safari Class C. I'd would like to buy a Auto Tranny, but all signs i can find tell me i will need a driveshaft diconnect. I visited the local dealer tonite and the 20 year old kid told me that I can tow a jeep on all 4 with no modifcations to the auto tranny?? Does he know what he's talking about? I've towed a Bronco II with a manual tranny for many years, with no problems. Should I stick with the manual? Anybody thats towed a Wrangler, please respond.
|Re: HELP! Towing a jeep
|Larry Miller
|As a full time RVer, I have towed my '99 Wrangler (auto tranny) for about 10000 miles without any problem other than paint damage due to crap thrown by other cars & trucks. I tow behind a 35' Winnebago Chieftain with a Ford V-10. Be sure to follow the owners manual info for towing 4 on the ground. Also be sure that your RV has the capability to handle the extra weight. Also, plan on spending about $1000 for an auxillary braking system for the Jeep when you are towing. Will save your RV brakes and keep your insurance from being invalidated if you ever have an accident.
|Re: HELP! Towing a jeep
|We have a Jeep Wrangler Sahara, loaded, and with an automatic. The vehicle is approved from the factory for 4 wheel towing with no problem at all. Details are in the owners manual also, but for now, all you do is put the vehicle in PARK, and move the transfer case to DISENGAGE. Thats it! By the way, we are selling our 2000 Jeep. All set up for towing w roadmaster and brakemaster for aux braking.
|Re: HELP! Towing a jeep
|I used to pull the drive shafts on mine, but check the owners manual. The trans have changed and the owners manual will give you the answer on towing for the jeep you buy or have.
|Re: HELP! Towing a jeep
|Greg Jones
|I just got my wrangler with Auto and have been towing it just fine. I now want to wire the lights rather than use the magnet type can anyone tell me if I'll need to put dioded in the circit or can I just splice into the wires for the lights?

MOUNT OLIVE -- Zach Davis Cox, Sr. died on August 30, 2001 after a long and blessed life that lasted 82 years. Mr. Cox was born in Calypso, NC on July 10,1919, the second child of Robert Leighton Cox, Sr. and Winnie Eugenia McWhorter Cox, the grandson of John Needham Cox and Mary Perline Inman Cox and Zach Davis McWhorter and Anna Lee Nelson McWhorter. His family moved to Mt. Olive when he was 10 years old, where he remained until he graduated from Mt. Olive High School in 1937, being honored that year as the outstanding student athlete of his class. After high school, he attended Duke University, but left college on the eve of World War II to join the United States Marine Corps.
Shortly after the start of World War II, Mr. Cox married Mary Gwin Oliver, also a native of Mt. Olive, a few weeks before he was sent to the South Pacific. During World War II, he served on the Samoa Islands (Upolu), the Solomon Islands (Guadalcanal), the Marshall Islands (Kwajalein), the Northern Mariana Islands (Saipan and Guam). On Guadalcanal, he was a company commander with the famed First Battalion, Seventh Regiment of the First Marine Division, then under the command of Lewis B. Puller. While recovering from wounds he received on Guadalcanal, Major Cox served as chief of security for the Norfolk Navy Yard. At the end of World War II, he was training for an assault on a fortified coastal cliff on the southernmost home island of Japan, Kyushu. After World War II, he spent a year in China with the First Marine Division to oversee the evacuation of the Japanese Army.
As part of the military demobilization after World War II, Mr. Cox received a medical retirement from the Marines as a Lt. Colonel, after being classified as 100% disabled by his war wounds and the tropical diseases he had contracted, yellow fever and the usually fatal black water fever. Despite his disability and forsaking a desire to resume his college education, Mr. Cox returned to Mt. Olive where he joined his uncle in the wholesale grocery business, Cox Brothers, in order to provide for his growing family that would in time reach seven children, four girls and three boys. He eventually purchased the business from his uncle and ran it until his retirement in the mid-1980's despite suffering from severe heart problems in 1967 and undergoing a quadruple coronary by-pass operation in 1977.
But Mr. Cox never let business concerns or health problems interfere with his devotion to his children. When his children were in school, he was active in the PTA. When his children were in the band, he was president of the band patrons club. When his children were young, he was a Sunday School teacher. When his daughters were in the Girl Scouts, he was instrumental in establishing a local Girl Scout camp, Camp Trailee. When his sons were in the Boy Scouts, he supported Troop 34 (of which he had been a charter member) with his time, money, materials, and energy. In short, he always involved himself in whatever his children were doing.
Mr. Cox also recognized that creating a better world for his children involved more than just his and their personal concerns. As such, he was very active in support of political candidates who shared his progressive outlook toward life, including being the county manager or co-manager for the campaigns of Terry Sanford, John F. Kennedy, and George McGovern. As was typical of many of his generation, "The Greatest Generation", Mr. Cox's political leanings were characterized by social liberalism tempered with fiscal conservatism.
Mr. Cox's concern for the community manifested itself in many ways.He was the Past Master of the local Masonic Lodge, being the fifth generation of his family to be a Mason. He was active in many business activities beyond being the owner of his own business, including being a long time member of the Boards of Directors for the Mt. Olive Pickle Company and the North Carolina Wholesalers Association.
Because of the emergency of World War II and the necessity of raising a family combined to deny Mr. Cox a fair chance at completing his college education, it was a special source of pride with him that all seven of his children graduated from college. Bolstered by the knowledge that he had given his children as good a start in life as was possible, Mr. Cox's health began a long and slow decline after the death of his beloved wife, Mary Gwin, in 1982. It was only through the unceasing vigilance of his doctors and the tireless attention of his oldest daughter, Gwin Lee Cox, that Mr. Cox was able to enjoy a long and well deserved rest from his life's labors. During the mid-1980's, Mr. Cox was married to Sara McGee Emerson, who had been a lifelong friend to both Mary Gwin Cox and Mr. Cox.
While increasing years and the continuing effects of his war injuries diminished his physical vitality, Mr. Cox never lost his joy for life or his pride in his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. In particular, he never lost his exuberance for telling bad puns, long shaggy dog stories, and colorful family anecdotes. And to the utter astonishment of his children, Mr. Cox revealed a few years ago that he had been a lifelong poet with a large body of work, including poems celebrating the birth of each of his children.
Mr. Cox is survived by a brother, Robert Leighton Cox, Jr of Orlando, FL; a sister, Eugenia McWhorter Cox Harris of Arlington, VA; four daughters, Gwin Lee Cox of the home, Elizabeth Ann Cox of Maryland, Laviece Cox Ward of Raleigh, and Mary Wooten Cox Smith of Burlington; three sons, Zach D. Cox, Jr. of Raleigh, James Oliver Cox of Atlanta, GA, John Needham Cox of Charlotte; three granddaughters, Vanessa Hoskins Ridgley, Virginia Taylor Cox, and Anna Wilkins Cox; five grandsons, Richard Johnston Ward, Baxter Craven Smith, IV, James Oliver Smith, Robert Stephen Cox, and Zachary Samuel Smith; two great-granddaughters, Melanie M. Ridgley and Rachel Michelle Ward, and two great-grandsons, Travis Benjamin Ridgley and Alan David Ridgley.
