STH Complete Automotive Center is an affiliate of Hummel's B & B Automotive, owned and founded by Stuart Hummel. The shop's expert technicians handle cars' every ailment, deftly changing tires, adjusting shocks and struts, flushing radiators, and replacing timing belts. Their VIP program offers cars everything they could want, from full-service oil changes to rotations, free flat-tire repair, and the secret to winning a bike's heart.
Express Auto Repair & Engine is a clean and professional auto repair shop fully equipped to handle all manner of vehicular situations. Strap on your wheels by means of your seatbelt and lead your sleepy sedan to this carriage depot for the first of three invigorating oil changes ($29.95 each). Following a thorough inspection, Express Auto's ASE-Master-certified mechanics will replace old, worn-out oil with fresh-faced young fluid, straight from lubricant college and ready to take on the heat, dust, and incredible pressures of today's high-octane internal combustion world. To help new oil adjust to its new job of safeguarding precious moving parts, gaskets, and various shafts, a fresh oil filter is included. Up to five quarts of regular oil are included in the deal, and customers can get more oil or upgrade to synthetic oil for an additional charge.
Cars are made to travel. But after a long trip overseas and miles of maneuvering American roads, import vehicles still require their own brand of service. That's where Automotive Specialists comes in. Specializing in Japanese imports, the shop's ASE-certified technicians reboot cars by repairing transmissions, alternators, and electrical systems. Maintenance services such as oil changes and tire rotations breathe new life into vehicles that have been slowed down by sluggish engines or ticklish tire treads.
Although the facility specializes in imports, its technicians' extensive training breeds a familiarity with all makes and models. Automotive Specialists also partners with Enterprise Rent-A-Car so that customers can commandeer a new set of wheels while their cars are being treated.
Dennis Cooper started repairing cars from a simple one-door garage with two bays. Over the last 30 years, his needs have steadily grown, as his robust business repeatedly outgrew four- and six-bay facilities. He and his team of ASE-certified technicians now stretch their legs through eight service bays, with Dennis's wife, Kathy, keeping watching over the books. Experienced technicians—including two ASE master mechanics—perform maintenance and diagnostic services on every part of vehicles and frequently add to their knowledge with seminars and schooling.
The center boasts a Hoffman wheel alignment system, which uses a Windows operating system and multiple laser beams to ensure accurate alignment, as well as two oversized shop bays to accommodate larger and diesel vehicles. The Cooper's Automotive team can also soup up performance with off-road lift systems or give vehicles a distinctive look with a custom fixtures and chrome tips. Recognized for excellence in emissions repair, the shop also recently installed solar panels on its roof to produce electricity and reduce its carbon footprint.
Most Popular Service: Oil change
Reservations/Appointments: Recommended
Established: 2014
Staff Size: 2?10 people
Brands Used: Castrol Oils, OEM parts
Sixteen-foot bay doors open up into Denver Automotive and Diesel Center's 18,000-square-foot facility, a space where techs get cars, diesel trucks, and RVs in working order. And while visits primarily concern services such as oil changes, tune ups, and alignments, that might not be the only reason you pop in. WiFi permeates an eco-friendly waiting area, with a kids' center, five televisions, a chalkboard wall, and drinks and snacks. While they wait, guests rest easy knowing all parts and labor is covered by a two-year warranty, and that the business offers a local shuttle service should they need to get away.
The certified technicians at Aspen Auto Clinic take pride in their nonpushy approach. When their professional diagnostic equipment identifies an issue, they make recommendations based on safety and factory recommendations, but they won't use hard salesmanship to coerce owners into upgrading parts. When they do perform repairs and maintenance, their team backs up the handiwork with a three-year or 36,000-mile warranty.

There's been a rumour doing the rounds over the last few days about Aperture that I feel needs dispelling. Apple Insider pointed out that a publisher has a new listing on amazon for a book titled "Apple Aperture X - under NDA: A Workflow Guide for Digital Photographers". If this sounds familiar it's because this isn't the first time an unannounced book has touted the "Aperture X" title. Unfortunately for those getting your hopes up, I'm afraid this doesn't mean that the next version of Aperture is imminent. Publishers commonly use the letter "X" as a placeholder when developing books as the actual version number of the software commonly changes during the writing and development of a book. So, when giving information to retailers such as Amazon they use the "X" version as a placeholder until the book is near release. It's common practice, and given the number of times this has happened and been debunked I'm surprised (well, not really) by the number of sites picking up on this.
That's not to say there won't be an Aperture X at some point, although I doubt it. I suspect that Apple will keep the current numbering convention for a while. Final Cut was a special case, as FCPX was a complete re-write and it was close to version 10 anyway. Aperture is still in the 3.x phase.

Austrian Jewish leader says anti-Semitism growing
January 7, 2013 - 3:32 AM
VIENNA (AP) — The leader of Vienna's Jewish community says the number of anti-Semitic incidents in Austria reported to his office have doubled over the past year and adds that Jews are under duress elsewhere in the EU as well.
Oskar Deutsch tells the Kurier newspaper that the Jewish community registered 135 such incidents last year, compared to 71 in 2011.
In comments published Monday, he named Hungary, Sweden, Norway, Finland, France and Greece as the EU countries where Jews are most under threat, adding that fearful Jewish families in Hungary have recently started to immigrate to Austria.

Linux.conf.au - Day One
LCA 2010 - Day 1
January brings with it the southern-hemisphere's summer and Linux.conf.au. This year, the conference is being held in Wellington, New Zealand thanks to the hard work and dedication of the Capital Cabal, a team of volunteer organisers lead by Susanne and Andrew Ruthven.
After a grey and wintery weekend, Wellington was all smiles for the first day of the conference. Situated at the Town Hall and Wellington Convention Centre close to the waterfront, sunshine, blue skies and balmy temperatures saw quite a few conference goers spending time outside exploring today.
This year's volunteers are numerous and helpful, and have done an amazing job of making the first day of LCA smoother than any other in memory. For the first time, the conference is being streamed live and streams can be accessed from the schedule on http://lca2010.org.nz. For me, just having the wireless working on day one was impressive enough.
The conference format is the same as previous years, with two days of mini-confs and then three days of conference proper. Monday's line up included:
Business of Open Source Miniconf
Open Programming Languages Miniconf
Wave Developers Miniconf
Haecksen and Linuxchix Miniconf
Libre Graphics Day
Arduino Miniconf
Distro Summit
I have always enjoyed the first day at LCA, catching up with people I've met at previous years and making new connections. Registration is always exciting with the traditional goodie bag to rifle through. Tuesday is when the sessions that pique my interest most start, with talks on systems administration and high-performance computing. I'm really looking forward to it, and from looking at how it's started, I really think this year's conference is going to be one of the best.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

With the seventh annual Naperville Independent Film Festival almost a month away, Naperville Public Library salutes filmmakers with an upcoming film screening at the library. To gear up for the fest, from Sept. 13 through 20, the library will screen last year's best director/best actress award-winning film, "It's Not You, It's Me."
The movie will be shown from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Aug. 21 at 95th Street Library, 3015 Cedar Glade Drive. I haven't had the chance to see the movie, but I watched the trailer for this comedy, and it's pretty funny. It's about a self-proclaimed commitment-phobe who wrestles with relationship anxiety.
I can't relate to the main character, since I have always been lucky in a long-term relationship, but I've seen enough break-up movies to cringe at the line: "It's not you, it's me." That phrase is one that really triggers rage from those who get dumped.
I remember the "Seinfeld" episode when George Costanza's girlfriend gives him the boot.
"You're giving me the 'it's not you, it's me' routine?" Costanza asks. "I invented 'it's not you, it's me.'"
And just like Costanza's clever quip, actress Vivica A. Fox, who plays the voice in the head of the girl getting dumped in the independent film, also delivers a funny one-liner.
"The best way to get over a man is with another one," the actress says.
Karen Glazik, who helps put on Naperville Independent Film Festival, interviewed the film's director Nathan Ives last year. She said the film really speaks to those who've had their hearts broken but with a comedic twist.
"Every single actor in this film is a quality actor — topnotch," Glazik said. "Whether on screen for two minutes or 20 minutes."
During the library's Aug. 21 screening, Glazik said independent movie lovers will learn about this September's film fest, which will have a new screening location at AMC Showplace off Route 59. Other locations where the films will be shown include North Central College and Center Stage Theater in Naperville.
"We are excited to also have it in a new venue," Glazik said. "We have an opening night with a party afterwards. The closing night is the awards ceremony. They roll out the red carpet."
Glazik said it's important to support independent filmmakers who don't have big film studio budgets because a lot of great movies stem from the independent film industry.
"There's a lot of creative, talented people out there," she said. "It takes a lot of money and a lot of people to make a film happen. Independent filmmakers don't have the film budget. They have to plan it more carefully and be more detail oriented to get it accomplished."
"It's Not You, It's Me" is not officially rated, but it is recommended as an R rating because of language and sexual content. To see this year's film fest line-up and trailers, go to naperfilmfest.org.

After a year of more-or-less neglect, my freely sprawling garden-variety Epipremnum aureum is starting to get somewhat larger leaves (6-8"). I'd like to train it onto a totem, where the leaves may hopefully get larger still, but the leaves on the basal foot or two of stem are either very small or missing altogether. I see several possible options, but could use some advice as to which makes the most sense: 1. Plant as is (i.e., keep all roots and bare stems). Seems like this could be pretty ugly, unless I perhaps added another couple of cuttings to eventually cover the lower foot. 2. Plant the entire plant, but bury the bare stems (sort of like you do with tomatoes). This species is prone to rot, which would argue against this idea, but on the other hand I'm going to use LECA or turface, which should reduce this risk. 3. Use "supercuttings," i.e., cut off the last couple of feet of vine (i.e., those with the bigger leaves), and root them. Usually one takes very short cuttings, so I don't know if this would work, or what kind of leaves you'd get next (does it start all over with juvenile leaves again?). 4. Take traditional short cuttings and start from scratch, training them up the totem from the beginning. I confess this to be my least appealing option, but I do want the whole thing to work! Any suggestions? Thanks! Alan |

Seldom-Seen Low-Mintage Issue
For three dollar gold enthusiasts, 1865 is among the rarest dates in the entire series. It is especially elusive in Mint State, with only an estimated two dozen Uncirculated examples thought to exist. It is rare in the absolute sense, too, with just 1,140 business strikes produced in this final Civil War year. Perhaps no more than 150 pieces remain in any grade.
Of the few survivors, this Akers Collection specimen is an outstanding condition rarity and ranks high among the finest known of the date. Cameolike contrast and deep, red-gold toning make it an incredible example to view. The richness of the gold color vibrates with reflectivity and swirling mint luster. Bronze-gold accents give depth and a look of antique-gold originality that can be best appreciated by in-hand viewing.
As expected with this high-grade coin, the strike is sharp and full. In particular, the hair detail is excellent on the portrait without any of the central weakness sometimes seen with this series. No evidence of die clashing is seen -- again, a welcome attribute not often encountered with three dollar gold from the 1860s. Virtually no abrasions of any significance are visible. This is a truly rare and memorable Premium Gem. Population: 2 in 66, 0 finer (11/13).

Nordic American Tankers Ltd. (NYSE:NAT) Has Created A New Offshore Supply Vessel Company, Nordic American Offshore Ltd. That Has Completed A $250m Private Placement. It Will Seek Listing On The NYSE.
HAMILTON, Bermuda, Nov. 27, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In a press release November 1 2013, the investor market was informed that NAT was coordinating the establishment of Nordic American Offshore Ltd. ("NAO"). NAO, an offshore supply ship company, has now been established and NAT is its largest shareholder (26%) with an investment of $65 mill.
NAO has agreed to buy six platform supply vessels (PSVs) from the highly reputable Ulstein engineering and shipbuilding group of Norway that holds 4% of NAO. The ships (2012 and 2013 built) are operating already and are expected to be taken over in December 2013. NAO has an option for a 7 th vessel on the same terms as for the 6 units.
A PSV is a part of the logistical chain in the offshore oil exploration business, transporting stores, provisions and equipment to offshore oil installations in such places as the North Sea, the US Gulf of Mexico, off the coast of Brazil and in other locations where there are offshore oil activities. Typically, a PSV is about 4,000 deadweight tons (dwt), i.e. much smaller than a suezmax tanker of about 150,000 dwt.
Nordic American Offshore has now completed a $250 million equity private placement. The transaction was upsized from $230 million to accommodate high demand. NAO will use the proceeds from the offering to finance the purchase of the six PSVs. More than 80% of the acquisition costs are expected to be financed with equity. The objective of the NAT investment in NAO is over time to produce higher dividend for shareholders of NAT than otherwise would have been the case. Like Nordic American Tankers, NAO will pursue a strategy of accretive growth based on a conservative financial strategy of high equity capitalization and a full dividend pay-out model. The new company will have existing time charter contracts in place for several of the vessels and spot charters for the remainder. NAO can be expected to operate on a cash break-even basis that is highly competitive within the industry. Cost synergies are expected to be achieved both for NAT and NAO. The suezmax strategy for NAT will remain firmly in place. The NAO share is expected to begin trading in the Norwegian OTC (Over The Counter) market shortly. Later the OTC listing in Oslo is expected to cease concurrently with the planned listing of NAO on the New York Stock Exchange, which we expect will take place during the first quarter of 2014.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

The Sylki Chair, also known as the Black Swan Chair, is a striking piece of furniture that could easily fit in a futuristic home designed for a sci-fi flick. The indentations present throughout the design gives it a faceted aesthetic that is reminiscent of a crystal. The organic nature of the Sylki Chair is perpetuated by the perforations pockmarking the surface.
Designed by Brooklyn-based studio POD Design, the Sylki Chair wasn't given a geometrical surface for looks alone. The undulations and indentations were specifically created to enhance comfort while distributing pressure on joints. Strikingly elegant and ergonomic, the Sylki Chair is made out of a single sheet of laser-cut, 20 gauge recycled metal. Weighing 'less than a bottle of wine,' according to the designers, it can support up to 250 pounds.

Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan pledged to generate 20 percent of the nation's electricity through renewable forms of energy by the 2020s as the nation rewrites its power blueprint in the aftermath of the world's worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl.
"We will do everything we can to make renewable energy our base form of power, overcoming hurdles of technology and cost," Kan said in the prepared text of a speech in Paris today, before the Group of Eight summit starting tomorrow in Deauville, France. Japan aims to reduce the cost of solar power generation to one third current levels by 2020 and one-sixth in 2030, he said.
Nuclear safety is among the topics Kan's expected to discuss with his global counterparts this week as he continues to battle the crisis at the Fukushima Dai-Ichi plant. Japan's reliance on nuclear energy has made its transmission grid the least able among major economies to accommodate power sources such as wind and solar, according to the International Energy Agency.
Kan told French President Nicolas Sarkozy that he still intends to rely on nuclear power once the country has secured the safety of existing facilities, Tetsuro Fukuyama, deputy chief cabinet secretary, told reporters today after the two met in Paris. Japan currently generates about 30 percent of its electricity through atomic energy and had planned on boosting that proportion to 50 percent by 2030. Kan said this month that he will review that goal.
Japan's power market is less flexible than those in most industrialized countries partly because nuclear, coal and oil power plants account for a large part of its generation capacity. These sources accounted for about 70 percent of total capacity in 2008, according to the IEA's latest figures.

Two fishermen missing off Kommetjie
Comment on this storyCape Town -
Two fisherman went missing on Wednesday morning off shore of the Slangkop Lighthouse in Kommetjie, the National Sea Rescue Institute said.
"It is believed there were four fishermen on a boat that had engine failure," NSRI spokesman Craig Lambinon said.
"The boat drifted into the wave line and then two of the fisherman were swept overboard."
The men, both from Hout Bay, went missing between 5am and 6am but for an unknown reason the alarm was only raised much later, said Lambinon.
A search was underway by NSRI Hout Bay, NSRI Kommetjie, a rescue helicopter, the police and the police diving unit.
"At this stage there is no sign of the two missing fishermen."
Investigations into the incident were also being conducted, said Lambinon. - Sapa

Thank you, but the project is a red white and blue popcorn. It may not be possible on one ear. I'm sure I need white kernels. A more experienced breeder suggested that breed specifically. |

Murray St. Racers (10-0)
@Memphis Tigers (5-3)
Sunday, December 11
Attendance: 16,795
Murray St.
Memphis, TN (Sports Network) - Donte Poole hit six three-pointers and scored 20 points, as Murray State downed No. 21 Memphis, 76-72, on Sunday.
Isaiah Canaan had 15 points and seven assists, Ed Daniel added 13 points and nine rebounds and Ivan Aska finished with 12 points for the Racers (10-0), who shot 45 percent (9-of-20) from three-point range.
"Our guys were tremendous tonight, and our effort was great," said Racers coach Steve Prohm.
Will Barton poured in a game-high 27 points in defeat. Joe Jackson chipped in 20 points and Tarik Black had 11 and nine boards for the Tigers (5-3), who saw their three-game win streak come to an end.
The Racers held a 71-60 lead with 1:58 remaining, but the Tigers unleashed a late flurry, reeling off a quick 12-2 run. Jackson capped the burst with a layup, making it 73-72 with 14 seconds left.
Canaan then made it a three-point game with a pair of free throws and Chris Crawford missed a trey on the other end. Murray State's Zay Jackson grabbed the defensive rebound and knocked down 1-of-2 foul shots to seal the final result.
"Our guys battled back late," said Memphis coach Josh Pastner. "We were playing out of desperation. We had some chances, so I'm proud of the guys for giving effort in a lot of areas. In the end, we take a loss."
Though Memphis finished strong, it was the Racers who were hot early, hitting their first five shots from the field and taking an 11-2 lead on Canaan's dunk.
"We were able to start off the game in a positive way and let Memphis know we were going to be here and make it a long game," said Prohm.
Barton's layup cut the Memphis deficit to 17-16 midway through the opening half, but the Racers scored 12 straight points to re-establish a double-digit lead.
They took a 34-29 lead into the break, led by Daniel and Poole, who scored seven and six points, respectively, in the half.
Barton scored 12 points over the opening 20 minutes of play, but the Tigers went just 1-of-8 from beyond the arc.
Still, they chipped away, taking their first lead on Barton's three-pointer early in the second half. Again, though, Murray State responded, grabbing a 60-50 advantage with 10:53 remaining and keeping the Tigers at length until the closing minutes.

Seven tornadoes skipped across Sumner, Cowley, and Elk counties producing scattered damage up to F3 intensity near Mulvane, Kansas.
Another round of tornado producing supercells moved across areas just south of Wichita on June 12th, 2004. Five confirmed tornadoes skipped along the Sumner/Sedgwick and Butler/Cowley county lines during the early evening hours.
The supercell thunderstorms formed along a dry line in Southern Kansas in Harper County, Kansas. Radar signature shows the dry line and initial thunderstorm development (Image 1). The storms rapidly intensified once they moved into northeastern sections of Sumner County, with the first touchdown reported at aproximately 710 pm just southwest of Mulvane. (See Image 2 for a map of the tornado tracks and F scale ratings). The supercell thunderstorm continued to cycle (or strengthen and weaken, as it moved slowly east, producing and dissipating tornadoes as it went. At approximately, 725 pm the supercell (88d radar Image 3) produced a longer track tornado (Image 4) that produced damage at the Mulvane Saddle Club (Image 5 and Image 6) as it crossed Kansas Highway 15 near Greenwich Road. The Damage at this location was rated F1 and F2 respectively. The tornado continued eastward causing very little damage in it's path, until it began to drift southeast. At this time the tornado produced significant damage as the white rope tornado leveled a frame house (Image 7 and Image 8) in which 2 occupants survived by taking shelter under the basement stairs. The tornado was rated as a strong F3. Image 9 shows, what's left of a 1969 Mach I Mustang that was parked in the garage of the residence and thrown 1/4 mile away. Three other tornadoes in Cowley county produced little damage, however, the tornado near Rock was quite picturesque with the sun setting off on the western horizon. (Image 10) The other two tornadoes were just south of Atlanta and were rated an F0. As the supercell continued on into Elk County, it produced two very weak rope tornadoes that only caused damage to a corn crop.

Edit .bashrc or .bash_profile and add your path to that.
As for ./script, it is convention that you run it like that when you are in the directory where the script is. For scripts or programs in other directories, you can just type the name without the ./. Surely the ./ convention is there for a reason (as about anything in Linux ).** Registered Linux User # 393717 and proud of it ** Check out www.zenwalk.org

During his inve ...show morestigation, Hector trades stories with novelist Paco Ignacio (who bears no little resemblance to Taibo), who is writing a crime novel based upon the recent murder of fourteen narcotraficantes and has traced the crime directly back to Judicial Police Commander Saavedra.

Happy Birthday, Cardiac
Surgery This classic photo, however, was taken during the second case, performed on Feb. 3, 1945. Blalock operates on the far side of the table, with Vivien Thomas, his senior laboratory technician, close behind him. At the head of the operating table is Olive Berger, a staff nurse anesthetist who did most of the cases for Blalock. (Anesthesiology chief Austin Lamont was on the first case.) The patient is a 9-year-old girl. The tall man to the right is Denton Cooley, an intern on Blalock's service. To Cooley's right is William Longmire, chief resident and Blalock's first assistant for the procedure. An unidentified nurse is at the foot of the table, and another unknown stands at Blalock's left. Not pictured, but likely in the room was Helen Taussig, a pediatric cardiologist and the other brain behind the "Blalock-Taussig procedure," as it became known. By 1950, Blalock and his team had performed over 1,000 Blalock-Taussig shunt operations and cardiac surgery was well established as a new surgical specialty. |

The kingdom of Nepal borders India to the south and the Tibetan autonomous region of China to the north. Across a south-north distance of a little more than 160 km, the land rises from 100 m altitude, with a tropical and subtropical climate, to the highest parts of the Himalayas (6 000 - 8 000 m), including Mount Everest on its border, with a mixture of temperate and arctic climate. Yak are confined to the northern districts of Nepal at the higher elevations. Many hybrids of yak with domestic cattle (Kirkho/Lulu and Nepalese hill cattle) are kept on neighbouring, somewhat lower ground and sometimes alongside the yak. Joshi (1982) considered that without yak and yak hybrids it is doubtful if people would live in much of northern Nepal. In total, according to D.D. Joshi (personal communication, 2001), there are around 20 000 yak and about 40 000 yak-cattle hybrids in the 18 alpine districts of Nepal. These numbers represent a decline from an estimated 200 000 yak and hybrids in 1961. At the least, a part of the decline in numbers is attributed to government restrictions on livestock numbers and movement in Nepal's national parks. Also, the impact of tourism and the attractions of other ways of making a living have reduced the incentive to pursue yak herding with its attendant rigours (Joshi, 2000).
From east to west across Nepal, the Himalayas have numerous valleys, glaciers, ridges, peaks and rivers that give rise, geographically, to the various alpine districts of the country and with peoples often isolated from each other and differing, in some cases, ethnically, in culture and in dialect. The villages in these districts vary in the relative importance attached to livestock in general and the different classes of stock - yak and hybrids of yak with local cattle, sheep and goats, horses and mules and poultry. Joshi (1982) provided a detailed account of this - and though the specific numbers involved have changed, the background is still largely valid.
Nepali yak, according to Joshi, are smaller than those in various parts of China (cf. Chapter 6) with the following data (Table 11.2.16) from animals in three districts in Nepal.

(In order to clarify a possible confusion arising in the literature on the size of yak in Nepal, it should be noted that Joshi (1982) quoted in his book some larger average values than those shown in Table 11.2.16, for what are described as "well-grown yak in Nepal. These larger average values are the same as those given by Epstein (1977) in relation to Nepal, but they, in turn, are identical to values also given by Epstein (1969) for yak in China - with the male and female figures attributed to a personal communication (Chen Lin-feng, 1963) and those for castrates to another Chinese source. According to D.D. Joshi (personal communication, 2001), more recent estimates of the size of yak differ little from those shown.
Most of the yak are black or black with some white markings. Pure white yak are rare, but highly prized. Most yak are horned, but a few polled yak are found and not as greatly valued. Polled bulls are always castrated and then used for riding.
Milk is the main commercial product from yak and from the hybrids of yak with cattle. Nepal's appreciation for yak products differs from China in one important use of the milk: In Nepal, in addition to the butter and other products made by herders from milk for their own use, large quantities of milk are sold and made into a Swiss-style hard cheese and into butter in processing factories built in the yak milk-producing areas. A very full account of these factories and an assessment of their operation is given by Joshi et al. (1999). The most recent figures, for the year 1997 - 1998, show a production of 176 tonnes of cheese and 26 tonnes of butter. The cheese in particular fetches a high price and is sold, principally to tourists in Kathmandu. According to these authors, demand for cheese still greatly exceeds supply, but notwithstanding, not all the factories operate at a profit. Although the yak cheese commands a higher price than cheese made from cattle or buffalo milk, the costs of production are also high because production is only seasonal, and the factories do not therefore work the year round. In addition, transport costs are high. Paudyal (1993) referred to a Winrock research report on cheese production in Nepal that suggested that as a consequence of the profitable sale of milk for cheese making, yak calves are being deprived of milk to the extent that calf mortality has increased.

Yak meat is eaten in Nepal, although for religious reasons slaughter is usually undertaken by butchers and not by the herdsmen. The fibre and the hides of the yak are used in the same way as in other countries.
Hybrids with yak are made with the type of cattle similar to, or the same as, the humpless dwarf cattle of Tibet known there as Kirko (or Khirko), but also as zo-lang (and referred to as Goleng or glang in Bhutan, and also in some parts of Nepal). The so-called Lulu cattle, used in some districts, are almost certainly the same type (K. P. Oli, personal communication, 1994). Hybrids are also made with the Siri hill cattle, a zebu type. Hybrids arise by mating the cattle bull to yak females (Dimjo or Dim-dzo) or the other way around (Urang).
There is a staggeringly large breed terminology (listed by Joshi, 1982) dealing with no less than 124 different combinations of yak with different local types of cattle, both zebu and Bos taurus. Names really begin to multiply among the various backcrosses to different breeds in different districts.
Joshi et al. (1994) provided some average values for performance characteristics of yak and hybrids, which are shown in Table 11.2.17.

The live weights given for both the male and the female yak in Table 11.2.17 are greater than those quoted earlier, also from Nepal, in Table 11.2.16. The weights of the hybrids on the farms surveyed were greater than those of the pure yak. This may be because such hybrid males are sterile and likely to be castrated and used for work. The female hybrids were slightly less heavy than the corresponding pure yak. Of the two types of hybrid, those born to yak dams (the Dimjo) were the larger and gave more milk - reflecting perhaps a maternal effect related to the small size of the cattle dams. The hybrids were also larger and more productive than the parental cattle types. Unlike the general situation where yak, cattle and the hybrids are kept in different areas, usually differing in altitude, D.D. Joshi (personal communication, 2002) stressed that the data in Table 11.2.17 are based on yak and hybrids kept in the same places.
The difference in performance between the two reciprocal crosses of the hybrid type is also reflected in the fact that farmers prefer the Dimjo (yak dam) to the Urang (cattle dam), according to Joshi (1982). Although the cows of the cattle types are smaller than the yak females, it is unusual for the maternal effects from the dam to last to such a marked extent into the adulthood of their progeny. An explanation for the large reciprocal difference is not altogether clear. Since there are also differences in size and performance among the different types of cattle used for hybridizing with yak, it may be that females of the smaller types of cattle are mated to yak bulls, and bulls of the larger types of cattle to yak females. This is speculation, but, if true, it would fit the facts - and perhaps determining this might be reason enough to gather evidence to confirm or refute these suggestions.
It is of interest that the hybrids of yak with Brown Swiss, calving, on average, for the first time even later than the pure yak, also gave less milk than hybrids with local cattle. The poorer performance of hybrids with fathers of exotic breeds relative to local types of cattle was reinforced by D.D. Joshi (personal communication, 1994) by reference to disappointing performance of hybrids of yak with Holstein-Friesian and Jersey in Nepal. But this differs from experience in some other countries and might be related to the management accorded hybrids relative to yak in various situations. A.I. was not used for hybridization with yak in Nepal. More recently, D.D. Joshi (personal communication, 2001) stated that hybridization of yak with exotic breeds of cattle is no longer practised.
Some reproductive data were given by Paudyal (1993) based on results from the breeding records of the yak-breeding farm situated in Solukhumbu, one of the most important of the yak-producing districts of Nepal. Over a 15-year period (1974 - 1989), 544 matings of female yak were made resulting in 307 conceptions (56.4 percent) and 293 calves (53.9 percent), of which 15 were stillborn. The average calving interval was 616 days - suggesting that a majority of the animals calved only once every two years. It is of interest, however, that there was a steady improvement at this farm over that 15-year period in the annual calving rate and a sharp drop in the interval between successive calves. Thus, in successive five-year periods, the proportion of calves born (per yak female mated) increased from 0.44 to 0.58 to 0.70 and the calving interval declined from an initial 851 days, to 704 in the middle period and 514 days in the last five-year period. There has therefore been a remarkable improvement in the overall reproductive rate. There was also some increase, over that period of years, in the growth rate of the calves in the first 12 weeks of life - but no change in the birth weights. Unfortunately, the changes that must have taken place at the farm to lead to such improvements were not specified.
In general, management of yak in Nepal follows a transhumance pattern, with high altitude summer pastures, where the animals are not given feed supplements and winter grazings take place on somewhat lower ground in more sheltered valleys. In many of the valleys, crops are also grown and many of the yak and hybrids spend the winter in sheds where they have to be fed.
Joshi et al. (1994) described the "average" yak herd as having: 32 cows (of which half are dry and half are lactating), 3 breeding bulls, nearly 12 pack yak, approximately 10 females and 10 males younger than five years, 12 yearlings and a little more than 15 younger calves - a total of around 94 animals. No update on these numbers is available.
Joshi (1982) also provided some results on the economics of keeping yak and hybrids (chauries). For present purposes, D.D. Joshi (personal communication, 2001) suggested that the figures communicated previously should be multiplied by a factor of ten to account for inflation. (This has been done below.) It follows from Joshi's suggested adjustment for inflation that although gross margins have increased over the years in absolute terms, the purchasing power of the extra money has also declined in proportion, due to inflation. The herders are, therefore, unlikely to be better off. Although absolute figures are likely to change further with time, it is the comparison of the pure yak with the chauries, which engenders the most interest. Thus:
For a yak bull |
The capital investment required: |
17 820 rupees |
Recurrent costs per year (mostly feed) |
4 730 rupees |
Annual returns |
11 090 rupees |
Gross margin |
6 360 rupees |
For a lactating yak female |
The capital investment required |
18 150 rupees |
Recurrent costs per year (mostly feed) |
6 210 rupees |
Annual returns |
26 090 rupees |
Gross margin |
19 880 rupees |
For a lactating chaurie (hybrid) |
The capital investment required |
23 100 rupees |
Recurrent costs per year (mostly feed) |
10 400 rupees |
Annual returns |
25 000 rupees |
Gross margin |
14 600 rupees |
Thus, Joshi's figures suggest that the annual gross margin from the lactating yak was more than a third higher than that from the lactating hybrid female, in spite of the lower absolute milk yield of the yak. The yak female needed a smaller capital investment than the hybrid and the yak calf had a higher value than the calf from the hybrid cow. If these figures were to apply more widely they might suggest that even under these largely pastoral conditions a relatively "high-input-high-output" strategy (the hybrids) is not necessarily the most profitable. However, the hybrid, or at least the Dimjo kind (cattle male mated with yak female), has advantages that, over a lifetime, might more than compensate for a lower annual return and higher initial investment. Thus, the Dimjo hybrids calved on average almost a year sooner than the yak and were more likely to have a calf every year. Thus, over the lifetime of a cow of say 12 years, the gross margin from the hybrids should be the greater. However, the gap between the yak and the hybrids will be narrowed by the ability of yak to produce milk - perhaps half the "normal" quantity - also in a year subsequent to a calving, even if they have not calved again in that second season. Moreover, the main end-product is not fresh milk but butter and cheese, and the gap in income between the yak and the hybrid is likely to be further narrowed as payment for milk is based on fat content (Joshi et al. 1999) - and the fat percentage of yak milk is higher than that of milk from the hybrids.
Nepal enjoys a considerable tourist trade, which in turn provides a ready market both for the cheese and some of the other value-added products from the yak - a point emphasized by Joshi et al. (1994) in discussing future developments.
However, as already referred to in relation to the overall decline in yak numbers, there are changes taking place that affect the livestock husbandry of the Northern Areas of Nepal. Joshi et al. (1994) pointed out, for example, an increasing use of yak and yak hybrids for transport in mountaineering expeditions and for trekking. This development changes the emphasis given to the different uses of the yak by people such as the Sherpas who have a tradition of yak keeping. Other writers have suggested, however, that the overall need for yak is declining in the face of other forms of transport.
Bishop (1989), in a detailed study of one village in Nepal, reported that older people there were no longer as willing as in former times to endure the hardship of high altitude life on the lonely summer pastures. They were thus changing from being milk producers to being breeders of hybrid animals. To produce the hybrids, they were using cows at the lower altitudes nearer the villages and mating them to yak bulls. The hybrid animals were then sold as replacement stock, making for an easier life for the herdsmen and their families compared with milk production from yak. Cox (1985) studied in great detail one particular area in Nepal - the relatively isolated Langtang valley area in the northeastern border region. The study looked in detail at the role of the yak on all aspects of the life of the people there, including the cultural and ritualistic side, and noted changes in social and economic attitudes, partly as a result of the opening of a cheese factory in the area. An earlier account of the husbandry and productivity of yak and its hybrids in the same valley was given by Bonnemaire and Teissier (1976). A similarly detailed account was given for another area of Nepal (the Tarap valley in the northwest) by Jest (1976), who also commented on what was then the beginning of an impact of industrial cheese making on the economy of yak production.
Joshi et al. (1994) refer to a deterioration of the yak breeding stock in Nepal and quote, by way of example, the Langtang area, which has a tradition of supplying yak-breeding stock. The deterioration was said to arise from the enforced reduction of movement of breeding stock across the border with the Tibet region. As for some other countries, there is thus an increasing risk from inbreeding in the yak population, reflected in reduced performance and poorer reproductive efficiency.

Animated Fun: Two Awesome Clips from Pixar's Up
Movie News By Neil Miller on March 30, 2009 | (4) CommentsI've spent most of the morning getting caught up on some of the video content that we missed over the past few days — thanks to our not so awesome server issues — and wouldn't you know that I came across a few sweet clips from Pixar's next, Up. Directed by Pete Docter, the guy behind Monsters Inc., Up tells the story of Carl Fredricksen, a 78-year old man who is just trying to get away from it all. But when he finally ties thousands of balloons to his house and floats away, he discovers that his trip will include a plus one: an 8-year old wilderness explorer named Russell. It is a premise that lends itself to plenty of curmudgeony old man vs. spry kid jokes — and who doesn't love a little bit of that. Also, as you will see from the first clip below, the film involves a large bird.
Up hits theaters on May 29, 2009 here in the U.S. and will make its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on May 13th. Check out the two clips below and don't forget to leave your thoughts in the comment area at the bottom of the page. The first clip is courtesy of Yahoo, the second is courtesy of Trailer Addict.

The "E" Ticket
, 06-06-2012 at 07:52 PM
Leon and Jack Janzen grew up in the San Fernando Valley. Their first visit to Disneyland was in 1958. The brothers were hooked. The became frequent visitors to the Park and began to collect souvenirs, photos, and memories.
Many years later, in the Spring of 1985, they read a Disney News article about Disneyland collectibles by former Disney Chief Archivist David R. Smith. The brothers were inspired and decided they would produce a newsletter for dealers and fans that collected vintage souvenirs from Disneyland.
After much consideration, the newsletter was named after a suggestion by Jacks wife Mary Ann; The E Ticket. The brothers explained their choice in Issue #1 in 1986. They said there was a time when you carefully removed the best ticket in your Disneyland ticket book the E Ticket and exchanged it for a ride on the Jungle Cruise, the Mark Twain, or maybe the Pirates of the Caribbean. These wonderful little coupons permitted you to enter the very best attractions in the park or, for that matter, in any park.
They added, For most of us, this particular thrill passed with tickets books and childhood. We hope to rekindle some of this innocent excitement by taking a nostalgic look at all theme parks, their memories, and collectibles. Disneyland will be the focus of this newsletter.
In 1986, Issue #1 was released. The brothers Xeroxed 200 copies for $60 and put the black and white pages between a two-color printed cover. They decided that the back cover would always feature a photo of Walt Disney. They gave the first issue away for free. The response was positive and immediate.
The first four issues featured mostly vintage Disneyland souvenirs from their own collection. Issue #5 would suggest the future when Imagineer Tom Scherman contributed an article about the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea exhibit in Tomorrowland.
The magazine became a mix of rare photos and drawings done by Jack. Leon focused on the editorial content. They went beyond Disneyland to cover Knotts Berry Farm, Pacific Ocean Park, and other Southern California destinations.
The real breakthrough came in Issue #7 with an interview with Imagineers Marc and Alice Davis. This was the beginning of a long series of talks with the people who worked with Walt Disney and built the Park. The brothers recorded the stories of Bob Gurr, Rolly Crump, Roger Broggie Sr., Ken Anderson, Ward Kimball, Harper Goff, Wally Boag, John Hench, Sam McKim, Ollie Johnston, Bill Martin, Blaine Gibson, Tony Baxter, Bill Evans, Wathel Rogers, Frank Thomas, Marvin Davis, Bob Sewell, Marty Sklar, Fess Parker, Bud Hurlbut, Ray Bradbury, Michael Broggie, and Art Linkletter.
The popularity of the magazine continued to grow and by Issue #15 they had graduated to glossy coated paper and by Issue #21 they even added limited color to the interior pages. All of these advancements were bound in a new cover format.
In February 2003, The Walt Disney Family Museum had begun the process to house the brothers work and to republish back copies. Diane Disney Miller said, An important part of our museums mission is to continue to support research and acquisition of materials interviews, letters, artifacts, that deal with my dads life and work, that we can present to those who seek us out. Nobody has done a better job of gathering, and preserving material related to Disneyland, to theme parks in general, than Leon and Jack Janzen.
Tragically, on September 9, 2003 Leon Janzen passed away. Jack continued a few more years but decided to cease publication in 2009 with Issue #46.
Diane Disney Miller added, The E Ticket is a treasure that will enrich our museums archive, and that, with Jacks guidance; we will continue to make available. Each issue has something of interest, of meaning, to all who have memories of their first visit to Disneyland, and those who want to know more about how it all happened. The talented people who designed the park, created the rides, made my dads dreams and convictions happen, come alive in the issues of The E Ticket. Theres much to learn there, in these beautiful magazines, and to enjoy.
And what about you readers? Do you treasure The "E" Ticket as much as I do? Did you stalk Disneyana on Main Street for signs of a new edition? Did you read it cover to cover or just look at the photos and read the captions?

It's a new trip for the popular Pakistani band Fuzon as they come out with their second album
They created a niche for themselves with their very first album. So, come to think of it, Fuzon is not just another Pakistani band.
Shallum Asher Xavier and Imran Momina (Emu) steered away from the usual to try out something that few bands had done before. They infused melodious classical ragas into the western rock/pop genre, along with jazz and some cutting-edge technology. The result was Sagar, the 12-track debut album which won them rave reviews and innumerable awards.
New entry
That was 2003. And a lot has changed since then. Their lead vocalist Shafqat Amanat Ali moved out of the band to pursue his solo career two years ago, and in came Rameez Mukhtar to replace him. And now, the band is back with its second album, Journey.
A 10-track album produced by EMI, Journey toes the same line as Sagar yet it is an attempt to break out of it.
"Sagar was just an experiment. We were trying to put our musical thoughts together and see what comes out. But with Journey we have matured as artistes. The way we play our music has changed, the production quality has improved. We have stuck to our roots," says Shallum, the lead guitarist over the telephone from Karachi.
Their music may have travelled places, but lyrics-wise the album, like Sagar, is all about love. "Love plays such an important part in is everyone's life. Maybe that's why we emphasise on it," he reasons. Rewind to 2001, and Shallum gets into the band's history.
"When we decided to form a band, we knew we had to do something new, because the pop/rock genre was already flourishing and we didn't intend to get lost in the crowd. We congregated our decades of experiences to create Fuzon." Interestingly for a band that's so strong on eastern classical music, both Shallum and Emu hail from a western rock background.
"We grew up listening to western music, but classical music is part of our culture. We have such a rich legacy that you cannot turn your back on it," explains Shallum. "Our arrangement is western, but the melodies are eastern. We always record the vocals first, and bring in the instrumentation accordingly," explains Emu.
Individuality in place
With a classical training backing him, Rameez didn't find it very difficult to step into Shafqat's shoes.
"We have our individualities in place. The audience never complained," chuckles the management graduate.
The band members confess to a soft corner for India. "Marketwise we cannot get bigger than India, but we never specifically targeted it. Bollywood is an attraction though, and we would like to make more music for films," says Emu, recalling that Nagesh Kukunoor had used two songs from Sagar in his film Hyderabad Blues2.
The band just completed recording a song for Mumbai Cutting, a film starring Palash Sen of Euphoria fame.
The name Fuzon is derived from the word fusion as the band describes its music as a fusion of classical and western music.
Fuzon was the first band to launch its album (Sagar) concurrently in Pakistan and India.Shafqat Amanat Ali, who used to be the lead vocalist of the band has created a niche for himself in Bollywood with songs like Mitwa.
In the past Pakistani bands like Strings and Jal have also created ripples in India with their heady concoction of earthy voices, touching verse and western beats.

Beautiful ship,wonderful staff, meals were excellent, extremely high standards of hygeine that truly surpassed expectations. Staff were friendly, helpful and diligent in their duties. Excursions were fabulous. The guides (Egyptologists)were exceptional.
Cabins were spotlessly clean and attended to with towel changes twice a day.
Special thanks to our guide Ahmed and a very special thank you to Kairy the towel 'artist'- his creations were the best I've ever seen.
Thank you to all management, staff and crew of/on Royal Viking - it was a pleasure to cruise the Nile on your ship.

And we will bring a tithe of our crops to the Levites, for it is the Levites who collect the tithes in all the towns where we work. |
