The number of drugs that interact with grapefruit has increased considerably in the last four years. Scientists warn that more information needs to be given on the risks to prevent dangerous side effects.
Writing in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, researchers revealed that the number of drugs causing serious side effects with grapefruit has increased from 17 in 2008 to 43 in 2012.
Chemicals in grapefruit called furnocoumarins prevent an enzyme in the body from breaking certain drugs down in the intestines and the liver. This means that more of the drug escapes the digestive system than the body can handle.
Side effects of the interaction vary depending on the drug, but can include stomach bleeds, altered heartbeat, kidney damage and sudden death.
The scientists at the Lawson Health Research Institute in Canada say that affected drugs are prescribed for a range of conditions, including anxiety, depression, blood pressure, cancer, HIV infection and high cholesterol.
A modest single helping of grapefruit can cause an interaction, even if consumed hours before a drug is taken. In the report, three times the level of one blood pressure drug was reported after patients had a glass of grapefruit juice compared with a glass of water. The report said:
"We contend that there remains a lack of knowledge about this interaction in the general health care community."
"Unless health care professionals are aware of the possibility that the adverse event they are seeing might have an origin in the recent addition of grapefruit to the patient's diet, it is very unlikely that they will investigate it."
Other citrus fruits such as Seville organs and limes have the same effect. Neal Patel, from the Royal Pharmaceutical Society said: "Grapefruit isn't the only food that can cause issues, for example milk can stop the absorption of some antibiotics if taken at the same time.
"Although some of these interactions may not be clinically significant, some may lead to more serious outcomes.
"Pharmacists are the best port of call for anyone concerned about how their diet may affect their medication. Information about any interactions would always be included in the patient information leaflet that comes with the medicine."
Health Insurance quotes from only £15 per month!
Very helpful and polite and always try their best to obtain the best quotes. Have been using them for the last 3 years and will continue to use them in the future.
A great service from the initial call, to finalising the agreement. I would highly recommend to my family and friends.
Proactive, efficient, and offered me insurance I need. I would say half price I would end up paying if I did it by myself. Many thanks.
Excellent service. Explained everything in detail and really helped to find the right insurance best suited to my needs - which wasn't necessarily the most expensive.
Good value and the advisor was very helpful and recommended the best policy for my grandson. I would definitely use this service again and recommend to others.
We were contacted in good time to make a knowledgable choice. We were given plenty of options with lots of information to enable us to make the right choice.
The service I received was excellent, the staff member was very efficient and knowledgable. She went out of her way to get the best policy for me.
Great service. I really appreciated the help provided by Active Quote to arrange health insurance. The agent was very informative and proactive. Many thanks!
I received excellent care and attention from the first phone call till the last. Friendly, efficient and patient.

Tug of love mother refuses to reveal how she got her daughter out of Syria
A MOTHER'S nightmare is over after she and her daughter, who had been abducted and taken to strife-torn Syria by her ex-husband, returned to Ireland at the weekend.
Louise Monaghan (36) and her six-year-old daughter May Assad Monaghan flew into Dublin on Saturday night after being reunited in Syria earlier in the week.
Speaking on Newstalk's Breakfast Show this morning, Louise's overjoyed sister Mandy Monaghan said Louise and May would now be staying permanently in Ireland but she refused to discuss how Louise managed to get her daughter out of Syria.
"It was deemed impossible but Louise did it. It was an absolute miracle they got across [from Syria]."
She said that May was in great form and would be starting school in Dublin as soon as possible.
Mandy also thanked all those who helped her sister and her family to get little May back on Irish soil.
"We are so happy and grateful to people for their support. So many people helped us to be a family again and we would like to thank them all," she said. "We will never be apart again from this moment on, nothing will tear us apart again."
May was born in Cyprus where her parents met and where Louise, originally from Swords in Co Dublin, had been living for more than nine years. Her parents later split up.
She disappeared after going for a walk with her father Mostafa Assad in Limassol -- where she lived with her mother -- on Wednesday, September 7.
Mr Assad managed to get his daughter out of the country using a passport which he had previously taken, and which was cancelled.
It is understood Mr Assad then contacted his ex-wife and told her she would never see their child again unless she sold her belongings in Cyprus and moved to Syria to live the life of a Muslim woman.
Police in Cyprus launched a manhunt for Mr Assad on suspicion of kidnapping when the little girl failed to return home.
But once he crossed the border into Syria from Turkey, he was protected under Syrian law.
The middle-eastern country has not signed the Hague Convention, which forces child abductors to be taken back to the nation they fled.
Ms Monaghan flew to Syria from her home in Limassol in Cyprus last Monday night alone in order to be reunited with her daughter. She met her ex-husband, whom she divorced last November, at the Turkish border and was reunited with May at his family's home.
Violent protests have been taking place in Syria since January after part of the population started demanding greater political freedom.
The stand-off has led to more than 2,200 deaths over the past nine months.

DOZENS of rail lines closed in the 1960s should be reopened to improve capacity on inter-city routes and cut road congestion, according to a study by passenger groups and local authorities published today.
The report, funded by the Rail Passengers' Council, calls for the restoration of more than 70 lines axed as part of a radical retrenchment of the network ordered by Richard Beeching, the British Rail chairman, 38 years ago.
It says that while the disappearance of some routes was justified, Dr Beeching was "badly wrong" in shutting so many others without thought for the potential growth in travel demand that might occur in succeeding decades.
Rail usage, which rose 25 per cent between 1996 and 2000, is at its highest level for 55 years, while road traffic has risen four-fold since 1963.
The study says railway-building, at a typical cost of £5 million per double-track mile, has become almost 20 per cent cheaper than road construction, as well as being easier to implement and less harmful to the environment.
It urges the Government, which is reassessing the funding of the railway in the light of Railtrack's financial decline, to give priority to re-openings that would not only serve local needs, but fill gaps in the national network.
Such schemes would include:
- The former main line from Matlock to Buxton through the Peak National Park, providing a direct link between Derby and Manchester, and an alternative route from London to the North West.
- The route from Felixstowe to Oxford, restoring lines between Bletchley, Aylesbury, Bicester, Bedford and Sandy and providing direct east-west services between Cambridge, Milton Keynes, Oxford and the West Country.
- The Borders railway from Edinburgh to Galashiels and eventually Carlisle, reducing congestion on the A7.
- Manchester-Sheffield via Woodhead, reducing journey-time between the cities by more than a third.
Stewart Francis, the chairman of the passengers' council, said: "While no one is suggesting that all the lines and stations closed by Dr Beeching should be restored, there is a strong case for accelerating a targeted programme of selected schemes.
"At a time when the public is deeply sceptical about the future of the railways there can be no greater symbol for a wider rail revival than putting back the tracks to those towns for which there are viable and cost-effective proposals."

If you looked at the standings through November 30th, and nothing else, there are some surprises: Murray State with the worst record in the West Division, Belmont tied for fourth in the East. The West still has a small advantage over the East in overall record, although that has been lessened in the past week.
As I established last week, though, you can't trust the records alone, especially in November, where non-conference schedules vary wildly.
Here's the updated chart comparing a team's winning percentage to their KenPom Strength of Schedule (SOS) rating.
Since last week, the biggest changes are that teams SOS ratings are becoming more normalized, and moving closer to each other. Really from TSU to SEMO, the difference in SOS isn't statistically significant. (The Tigers schedule is ranked the 169th toughest. SEMO's is 238th toughest)
In other words — it's more fair to compare those eight teams by their record alone than, say, comparing them to Eastern Illinois or Belmont.
Team-by-team SOS notes. (Note on the notes — I'm really only looking here at who they've beaten and who they've lost to. Unlike the college football playoff committee, I'm not using any kind of 'eye test,' or comparing how teams have played…that will come later. The goal of this post: show which teams have beaten good teams, and which ones really haven't)
AUSTIN PEAY | The Governors SOS is bolstered by playing at Dayton, but their record is a bit inflated: half of their four wins are against non-Division I teams. Their loss at Miami (OH) is a bit troubling — the Redhawks are 3-3 without any good wins to their own name, but it's only one game, which we should never put too much stock in. The next three games are brutal: a home-and-home with Fort Wayne, with Arkansas sandwiched in between. Come mid-December, AP will likely have among the conference's toughest SOS ratings. The question is…will they be above .500?
BELMONT | The Bruins SOS dropped due in part to their game against Lipscomb, a narrow two-point win in the cross-town rivalry. For now, they still have played the toughest schedule, as all three of their losses are against top-100 competition. As weird as this is going to sound, we still don't know a lot about Belmont, because they haven't played OVC contender-like teams; It's hard to judge the Bruins against competition that is largely much better than what the OVC has to offer. That changes next month: they host Middle Tennessee (108th in KenPom) and travel to Green Bay. (142nd)
Also worth noting: The five toughest OVC schedules so far all belong to East Division teams, one reason why the East has a slightly lower win percentage to the West.
EASTERN ILLINOIS | I'll continue to caution too much optimism on EIU's 4-3 start because outside the South Alabama win at home, they haven't played a single team in the top-200 of KenPom. (And South Alabama barely qualifies at 197th) Following their OT loss at home against Bradley, (ranked 242nd) KenPom has the Panthers as underdogs in their next four games — all on the road: Illinois-Chicago, (237th in KenPom) Northern Kentucky, (253rd) Western Illinois (294th) and Missouri. (145th) If they win a few of these, we can reevaluate the Panthers a bit, but right now it's hard to get much of a read given their friendly November slate.
But, that being said, it's not like the OVC is filled with top-200 teams, either. Right now, there are four: Belmont, Tennessee State, Morehead State, and Murray State)
EASTERN KENTUCKY | Georgia State is a good team — maybe not "lose by 23" good, but that's not a terrible loss, and games can easily get out of hand. Overall, EKU has played a very tough slate, and it stays tough for most of December. If EKU can beat a Marshall or Ball State in December, you can really make an argument that this team could contend in the crowded East Division. If not, they would be 0-3 against teams ranked 100-150 in KenPom, which isn't the best of signs, given that's where Belmont and TSU are likely to slot-in.
JACKSONVILLE STATE | JSU has won four straight games, and while none of the wins are majorly impressive, they still have that win against a good Tulsa team on their resume as well. For the first time in…forever, possibly?…we're going to be talking about the Gamecocks offense this year, even though they don't put up a lot of points. (Think UT Martin the previous two years — efficient, but sloooowww)
One sidenote here: JSU will finish non-conference play with one of the conference's best SOS ratings. Why? As I mentioned last week, they don't play a single home game in December. None. Nadda. Zip. You get the point. That will inflate their SOS over just the raw strength of their opponents.
MOREHEAD STATE | The Eagles have just one win over a Division I opponent: Lipscomb. Their losses are all to teams in the top-150, and all on the road. They were also all by double-digits, though. So, Morehead State hasn't made the most of early-season opportunities, but there's not enough evidence, either, to necessarily think the Eagles are going to take a step back in the conference. NKU, Lipscomb, and Eastern Washington are up over their next four games, and those are okay benchmark games; Morehead State should win them all. If they lose two of those, that would raise some eyebrows.
MURRAY STATE | The loss to SIU isn't terrible, especially given that the Racers forced the Salukis to OT, and it was in Carbondale. Their SOS rating is interesting for one reason: they haven't played a weak slate, but they haven't played that top-50 or top-25 opponent that the teams above them have. Take out their game against Alabama A&M, and every other Racers opponent is ranked in the top-205. They just don't have a Florida or Kentucky or similar opponent on the schedule that provides big SOS boosts. (Ole Miss, who Murray plays next month, is ranked below Illinois State, who the Racers beat in their season opener) In other words — the Racers schedule is tougher, in my view at least, than the raw SOS ranking shows.
SIUE | Unlike the similar 4-2 Governors, the Cougars four wins have all come against Division I competition, and three of those wins were against teams ranked in the top-200 of KenPom. Cougars fans should be quite encouraged by their start. Interestingly, they remain in the 300s themselves in KenPom rankings, but are 75th in the NCAA's RPI (which only looks at wins and losses) behind only Tennessee State and, weirdly since I just mentioned them, Austin Peay.
SOUTHEAST MISSOURI | The Redhawks schedule has actually been tougher than originally anticipated: UMKC is a relatively strong team, and Bradley is in the mid-200s. Of course, those were both SEMO losses; their best win was against Western Illinois. (294th in Ken Pom) Coming off a five-win season, no one's going to complain about any win. The game I think will give us the best picture of where the Redhawks stand: when they host Northern Kentucky on December 10th. Much of the rest of December is quite brutal, with Indiana, Depaul, and a home-and-home with Missouri State. Any win in those four games would be good wins.
TENNESSEE STATE | The Tigers were never in the game with Vanderbilt, and that's disappointing, but the Tigers can still hang their hats on their win at Middle Tennessee, which will flirt with the top-100 most of the year. Simply, TSU has beaten enough good opponents to show that, likely, the Tigers will be contending for an OVC title.
TENNESSEE TECH | Despite the conference's worst record, TTU is much less an outlier than they were a week ago. The Golden Eagles have Lipscomb and Alabama A&M on the schedule this week: both very winnable games, but both on the road. If they get two wins, suddenly they're 4-5, and things look a bit rosier. If they lose both, they're 2-7, and things are the opposite of rosy.
UT MARTIN | For one game, at least, UTM fixed their turnover problems against Florida Atlantic. I know, that's not really an SOS-related comment, but I wanted to make it anyway. The Duquesne and Canisius wins aren't resume building, but they're quality wins far away from home. I think given the departures many expected the Skyhawks to return to the middle of the West this season. Their non-conference play is showing, though, they have no intention of doing that.

Philippines Woes Beijing For China-Russia War Against The United States, Report
The United States seems to be losing allies as it continuously goes up against other superpowers like China and Russia. In a surprising turn of events, one of its long-standing allies, the Philippines, has seemingly turned sides, wooing China despite the tensions brewing and possible war. Will World War 3 happen?
The Philippines' relations with the United States is souring very quickly as President Rodrigo Duterte seem to be siding with China instead of Washington. According to reports, Duterte will be visiting China in hope of better deals while he also seeks to end joint military drills with the United States.
Philippines Woes Beijing
"China has repeatedly invited me. I have accepted the offer," Duterte told the press while also announcing his visit slated for October 19 – 21.

Furthermore, RT reported that the president's visit to China is already oversubscribed noting how eager the business and government officials are to talk about the multi-sector economic cooperation with Beijing.
As the friendship with China flourishes, the opposite is happening with the United States. Duterte called out US President Barack Obama for his "arrogance."
"For as long as I am there, do not treat us like a doormat because you'll be sorry for it," Duterte threatened. "I will not speak with you. I can always go to China."
Another report from CBS news sheds light on how things are going on between China and the Philippines.
"China anticipates that President Duterte's visit can help with enhancing political trust … dealing with disputes properly through dialogue and bringing the bilateral strategic cooperative relationship for peace and development back to the track of sound and steady development," explained Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang during a regular news briefing.

The Case of Charles Whitman discusses the life of Charles Whitman and the events leading to his murderous rampage from the university clock tower. Whitman would seem to lead a privileged life as a high-school baseball player, military member, and college student awarded scholarship. Over time, Whitman's life would seem to crumble with his disinterest in church, his parents' divorce, losing his scholarship, even his deteriorating health. No one has an excuse for such actions - but perhaps Whitman would have more of a reason than most others.
The biological causes of Whitman's action would seem to propel his behavior. Still one may assume the victims' families will never forgive Whitman for his actions.

See my comments in Bold. (Patrizia's)
IP telephony - why the debate? David Yip and Siân Tudor Jones investigate why UK businesses have yet to fully embrace the potential of IP telephony.
The claims
IP telephony (IPT) has been threatening to be one of the most important emerging trends in telecommunications for the last few years. IPT is the application that moves voice traffic around in the data network utilising the Voice over IP (VoIP) protocol.
These terms are often confused - VoIP has been with us for many years.
But in the beginning it was practically unusable: too expensive hardware and too lousy voice quality.
Carriers have successfully deployed international networks using VoIP to carry public telephony calls.
Just big carriers could afford expensive hardware and be well repaid charging slightly less for what cost them almost nothing (see: they buy Junk and sell Antiques)
IPT, however, has not broken the dominance of traditional voice switching systems within the enterprise space, be they
PABXs or carrier class switches providing centrex (hosted telephony) services.
Just in the very last years we began talking of application on VoIP.
Companies will like VoIP not only for the saving on telephone calls, but for what it offers and most of all for what IT WILL OFFER IN A NEAR FUTURE.
In 2003, the world's analysts were quoting '50 per cent penetration of IP telephony'. Slightly more conservative estimates placed the 50 per cent penetration threshold during 2004.
Today in 2005, the optimism has been watered down somewhat. A recent study claims that 44 per cent of corporate telephony will be IP-based by 2008. In corroboration, Gartner estimates that, by the end of 2007, traditional enterprise telephony system manufacturers will cease development of traditional systems. This suggests we are at least two years away from widespread acceptance of IPT into our corporate lives.
VoIP is still not fully ready will all the possible applications.
For example Video on IP (a good Video quality) will drive most of the corporate traffic towards VoIP.
So why is it that amongst the UK's leading organisations there is not the actual or planned widescale deployment as predicted? Why has deployment not taken off for a technology that has been around for years?
The case for change
The answers ultimately lie with the case for change.
All enterprises have a voice system in place. This has usually been developed and maintained over a number of years. It is usually reliable and costs for maintenance have reduced since deployment. It is likely that such systems are nearing full depreciation and are operating sufficiently well giving little cause for concern.
In today's governance structures, the modern enterprise will not introduce new technology without a compelling business case and ultimately cost plays a significant role.
The case for implementing IPT must then rely on tangible additional benefits.
Or at least to keep the actual benefits with the same quality at a lower cost.
To date, business flexibility, cabling simplicity and the ease of moves, adds and changes rank as the key benefits of IPT. Offset against this, the main user concerns are security within a converged network environment, VoIP quality and interoperability between voice systems.
Significantly, the user is unlikely to see any additional functionality at the basic telephony level.
Implementing IPT can be costly, even though IPT itself can appear attractively priced. Whilst it is an application sitting on a data network with user licensing structures not dissimilar to any other user-based application, what is frequently overlooked is that IPT places specific time sensitive performance demands on the data network and IP handsets are significantly more expensive than normal units.
But the price is enormously rewarded by the fact that IP to IP calls are COMPLETELY free.
In a company which has branches all over the world that means to repay the whole hardware in a very little time (one week in certain cases).
It is the same with cell phones.
To sell them they offer free traffic for the amount of the phone ($300) but everybody knows that this is a real CHEATING. (or everybody should know)
Classes of service, voice prioritisation and powered Ethernet are all demanded from the enterprise data network over and above standard user application hosting. So it's not only the legacy telephony infrastructure one has to consider but the entire data infrastructure also. If the current data infrastructure is not up to scratch, is it worth performing a complete upgrade just to add telephony?
What could be more promising than "company owned infrastructures"? With a very small investment a company can have gatekeepers that act as gatekeepers, gateways, IPphones, PBX, and could create infrastructures among all company's users, avoiding totally the TELECOMS' Monopoly...
Couldn't there be something better than this?
So, unless the enterprise is developing greenfield sites, the case for implementing IPT here and now appears weak, regardless of any views on technology maturity.
I guess the article's writer completely missed the point.
Why writing about something and not telling the real advantages?
May be this could be the reason why.
Companies do not yet know all the advantages of VoIP and the actual players on the market beware to explain...because it is convenient that they do not know...
However, making a spot investment decision is very different to making strategic choices and one must consider where the suppliers and service providers are heading before writing off IPT deployment now.
Supplier push
Many traditional enterprise telephony vendors, including Siemens, Nortel and Avaya, continue to pour their investment budgets into developing evolutionary IPT solutions, allowing the upgrading of existing equipment to provide IP functionality. This incremental approach to IPT implementation benefits the enterprise by reducing capital expenditure, protecting legacy investment and minimising deployment risk. It is obvious that investment in standard enterprise switch (PABX) technology is being reduced significantly.
Coming from the enterprise data provider end, Cisco have been developing an all-IP communications solution since 1997 and claim more than 14,500 organisations are now using their IPT offering.
According to various analysts, Cisco is the market leader in IPT enterprise sales, recently shipping their four millionth IP phone. Avaya seem to be the second placed provider with Nortel third currently.
Big suppliers have prices that only big companies can afford.
It is like the first cell phones, they were so expensive a few could pay for them, but with the lower price there arrived the number...
Public network switching providers are also developing their IPT offerings in a bid for supplying hosted solutions. Lucent, Ericsson and Nortel have invested significantly. Their strategy is less aggressive compared to the enterprise space - traditional telephony PSTN switches will be with us for many years. This development cannot be neglected by the enterprise, as IP centrex functionality emerges and provides a realistic option for a hosted IPT solution. However, network based solutions will inevitably take longer to deploy and may be years in the making.
That is one of the reasons VoIP is not widespread today.
The Bigs are in front of a dilemma:
Loosing their wonderful revenues or loosing the train of progress...
In the meantime they do and do not do...
There are various trial implementations being undertaken worldwide. Lucent have made inroads in the US carrier market as well as in Australia. Ericsson have successfully implemented within Europe.
Service provider investment
The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) laid out their vision for 'Next Generation Networks' (NGN) providing carrier grade service standards relating to quality of service, reliability, scalability, simplified network operation and management. In the UK, this approach has been publicly embraced by BT and Cable & Wireless.
In April 2005, Avaya and BT jointly announced the signing of Avaya's supplier contract with BT, estimated to be worth up to £80 million over three years. Interestingly, this deal appears to support BT's immediate capability for hosted IPT solutions in the enterprise space. It is uncertain how this will sit alongside BT's current IPT offering, MMVoIP, their Cisco based service offering.
Alongside this enterprise focus, BT's major commitment to NGN comes in the shape of their 21st Century Networks (21CN) initiative. As part of a £10 billion investment, BT announced their strategic suppliers and selected Ericsson to provide the public IPT platform. This heralds the widespread availability of IP Centrex during 2008.
Cable & Wireless' plans for their NGN implementation include a £190 million investment to replace their 70+ carrier switches with 10 IPT soft switches. They plan to complete implementation by the middle of 2008 'ahead of BT'.
The landscape is therefore set for IP Centrex to be widely available during 2008 but, more significantly, the carriers are banking on convergence representing the future of telephony.
"The bigs will win". I do not believe it.
Major investments mean higher pricing and the same services or even less than a local provider could offer.
Don't they see that the people on the road expect better than a lousy calling center where they cannot help anybody but the one who is paid for the call?
User examples
Major deals in 2004 indicate that US enterprises are feeling less nervous and starting to embrace the possibilities of IPT. In July, Boeing Co. announced plans for an IPT rollout encompassing more than 150,000 users across 70 countries. This was topped less than three months later when Bank of America commenced a rollout to 180,000 desktops in 5,800 locations.
In the UK, IPT uptake has been smaller in scale and low key. However, one case study is often raised as the flagship for IPT - Abbey National.
Since the Abbey experience, no other multi-site IPT implementation has hit the headlines in the UK. There have been numerous single site case studies, most notably providing IPT to the RSPCA's new headquarters.
With the telephony suppliers investing significantly in IPT, the service providers committing to hosted IPT and widespread implementation in the US, why are we in the UK not fully embracing the potential?
Also here the point is missed.
The investments have been significant, otherwise we wouldn't be at this point.
So where now?
IPT technology is available now. Scalability, reliability and functionality are lesser concerns and experience suggests cost is the most significant inhibitor. A study recently commissioned by Nortel cited '48 per cent of firms unconvinced by VoIP returns'.
The common mistake has been to treat IPT as a standalone business case - it is not. IPT is part of a convergence business case requiring all data and voice infrastructure to be considered as a whole.
But it was till a little time ago.
Looking at each specific part of the convergence chain gives us the following often repeated outcomes:
Generally, migrating onto a voice ready wide area network (MPLS protocol base) will reduce bandwidth costs. However, your site router will need to be voice enabled although the bandwidth saving should cover any upgrade required.
IPT requires site local area networks (LANs) to be voice ready and, ideally, be able to support inline power to the IPT handset. Given that many UK enterprises have, over the last ten years, migrated from token ring to Ethernet and at the time were unlikely to take account of voice readiness, we encounter a major dilemma. The LANs work fine for data but need a complete replacement to support IPT - this represents significant cost.
Replacing the PABX with IPT also represents a significant cost. PABX technology is highly reliable, cheap to maintain and, because of its longevity, usually fully depreciated with minimal investment budgeted.
See above, VoIP brings the best ROI a company could dream.
And a company has to invest, hasn't it?
Based on the above it is easy to see why IPT in the UK has yet to take off.
And you can see why it WILL TAKE OFF SOONER THAN PREDICTED.
However, indefinitely writing off enterprise convergence cannot be sustained. The suppliers and service providers are slowly leaving us no choice. Beyond 2007, our PABX technology will become obsolete. Service providers will provide hosted options. Analysts predict that IPT implementation costs will decrease significantly.
Tactically we can stick our heads in the sand but strategically, planning needs to start now. It seems likely that the options and costs will become increasingly attractive and the suppliers are providing risk minimised routes to implementation.
All this points to the conclusion that a change to IPT will become beneficial and almost inevitable - it is now a matter of strategy, timing and approach.
In 2003, Abbey contracted through an outsourcing deal with BT for a new IP virtual private network (VPN) that would also deliver 1.2 million public and 750,000 internal voice calls every month. The IPT rollout covered 746 branches and data connectivity was also provided to the main offices. The core technology for voice and data was Cisco based, provided through a full rollout of BT's Multimedia VoIP to all Abbey's branches within eight months of the contract being signed. The service is operating successfully today covering over 7,000 IPT extensions.

The financial smog may appear to be clearing for those near the top of the financial high rise but for those closer to the proverbial "ground working class," it is thicker than old fashioned lentil soup. And despite what the major financial institutions and government claim, little lending is occurring or trickling down to the middle class or small businesses. In walk some innovative individuals and groups with ideas that are changing the face of lending thru peer to peer (P2P) and crowd funding loans.
Crowd funding groups are a combination of social media and micro investment lenders group meeting under the common ground of passing it forward to its member's financial investments for worthwhile projects worldwide. With the over £1.9gbn in lending power annually, funding not only business ventures and entrepreneurs but social causes and some personal financial situations maybe covered. Considering crowd funding loans:
Remember crowd fund loans are dealing with crowds. There might be lots of responses or none. In that case, reworking the presentation maybe in order or not targeting the right group. It is also expected that at some point, you pass it forward to other deserving people.

We loved our stay over President's Weekend. The house easily slept all 10 of us. The game room was hours of fun...ping pong, pool, and foosball tournaments. A little effort required to make it a true "ski on ski off" house. We wouldn't hesitate to return.
The house was very nice and comfortable for two families. Our travel was disrupted by winter storms and the owner Tim was very accommodating to ensure we were able to get there safely and maximize our time at the house. The Games room was a great amenity to have on those extra cold evenings. I would definitely recommend this house.
my family has gone skiing MLK weekend for years. My son goes to school at UVM and we decided to try Sugarbush. We are usually a group of 12 to 15 but this year we were only 9. I didn't know what to expect. The house is great. lots of space and very welcoming. My family really enjoy the family room as we watch football and play ping pong and pool. The living room has a great fireplace with beautiful views of the mountain. enjoyed drinking a cup of coffee and sitting in the rocking chair looking out a the great view. We hope to be back next MLK weekend. Thank you to the Clewley's for being extremely responsive to our needs and concerns.
Our group absolutely loved staying at this home! It was spacious, clean, and had all of the amenities we were hoping for and more - including a ping pong table.

By the Numbers: What a relief!
Who are some of the more underrated relievers so far this season? Which closers might be getting by with smoke and mirrors? Our Al Melchior breaks down relief pitchers for owners in his latest BABIP analysis.
Every other week, we scan the majors' 30 rotations for pitchers who are poised to deliver value as well as heartaches. In this week's Lucky/Unlucky analysis, we turn our attention to relievers for the first time this season. After four months, we finally have some sample sizes that, while still small, can tell us something about the future value of Fantasy relievers. Seemingly random statistical fluctuations have shaped the seasons of starters like Trevor Cahill (for the better) and Kevin Slowey (for the worse), and the same is true for many of this year's more notable relievers.
A quick look inside the "Likely Lucky" boxes in the tool below reveals that Mariano Rivera and Luke Gregerson have probably benefitted from some good fortune. One could easily argue that, luck or no luck, they are the best closer and setup man in the game, respectively. What their crazy-low BABIP rates tell us is that we shouldn't expect their WHIPs to stay below 0.70 all season. Most owners can probably get over that sort of bad news. Likewise, Brian Wilson and Heath Bell have probably been unlucky, but even if their BABIPs don't come down, they could continue to be the two most commonly-owned relievers in Fantasy and rightfully so.
Even after excluding these non-findings from our Lucky/Unlucky analysis, there are still plenty of relievers whose stats portend meaningful changes ahead, including a few with new roles created out of player movement at the trade deadline. How will Chris Perez fare as a closer, now that he no longer has to look over his shoulder for Kerry Wood? Is Aaron Heilman the answer in Arizona? Check in just below the tool for the answers (and stop and try the tool out on the way).
Players' stats are for all games played through Sunday, August 1.
Who has probably been lucky?
Jose Valverde, Detroit: Valverde's value has been hurt by a lack of save opportunities, but he has made the most of them, converting 21 of 22 chances. Given his tendency towards wildness (23 walks in 46 innings), it's a bit surprising he has been this successful. He has helped himself by limiting opponents to a 16 percent line drive rate, but even if he keeps that up, his .200 BABIP is sure to rise over the season's remaining weeks. It might be a good time to test the market for the former NL saves leader, as his value could sink further as the season wears on.
Andrew Bailey, Oakland: His strikeout rate is only about two-thirds of what it was in his impressive rookie season, but Bailey's other Fantasy stats look as good as last year's. That would not likely be the case if not for a major league-lowest .522 BABIP on line drives. It's not clear when Bailey might return from an intercostal strain, but he won't be as trustworthy of an option as he appears, once he is back in the A's bullpen. If not for his health issues, he would be an ideal "sell" candidate right now.
Chris Perez, Cleveland: Perez is the new closer in Cleveland, but he has already had more save opportunities (15) than incumbent Kerry Wood (11). The 25-year-old acquitted himself nicely in his "tryout," but owners should not expect the same level of success now that the job is truly his. Perez has walked more than a batter every other inning but has covered up the damage to his WHIP with a .245 BABIP. That's not an outrageous rate for many relievers, but it is when hitters are smoking line drives off nearly every fourth ball hit off you. He will need to bring his line drive rate down if he is to succeed as the Indians' full-time closer.
Evan Meek, Pittsburgh: Few owners probably expect Meek to maintain a 1.23 ERA and 0.87 WHIP, but there may even more trouble lurking than what appears. Through the first two months of the season, Meek built a superb set of Fantasy stats through strong strikeout and walk ratios and with little help from favorable BABIP rates. That story has reversed itself since June 1, as his deteriorating strikeout and walk rates are being camouflaged by a sub-.200 BABIP. He will have to compete with Joel Hanrahan for scant save chances in Pittsburgh, and the lack of saves along with drooping skill trends give Meek limited appeal as a closer candidate.
Who has probably been unlucky?
Jonathan Broxton, L.A. Dodgers: Broxton has struggled so much since the All-Star break, blowing two of three save chances and allowing six earned runs in five innings, that Dodgers manager Joe Torre has expressed concerns about his closer's velocity. While Broxton's velocity is in fact down this year, he is still missing bats at his typical pace. His BABIP rates are usually higher than average, but his .379 rate this season just looks fluky all over. Because of his mediocre ERA and WHIP, Broxton has fallen to middle of the closer pack this year, but given his continued strong command of the strike zone, he could easily finish the season as strong as any closer in Fantasy.
Joba Chamberlain, N.Y. Yankees: Despite moving to a full-time relief role this year, Chamberlain is still owned in 23 percent of leagues on CBSSports.com. He is active in fewer than half of those leagues, and judging by his 5.60 ERA and 1.51 WHIP, perhaps he should be sitting on even more Fantasy benches. Those stats make it appear that Chamberlain has been a bust, posting back-to-back disappointing seasons, but his peripherals show reasons for hope. Unlike last year, Joba has compiled respectable walk and home run rates, and his K/9 ratio has skyrocketed from 7.6 to 10.0. It's only his .375 BABIP and 62 percent left-on-base rate that create the appearance of a bad season, and both of those stats look highly aberrant. Chamberlain is already fourth in the majors in holds, and he could add a low ERA and WHIP to his resume over the next two months, making him a useful arm to activate in deeper leagues.
Matt Lindstrom, Houston: Bouncing back from a difficult stint as the Marlins closer in 2009, Lindstrom has performed the way the Fish hoped he would, but in an Astros uniform, in 2010. He has made substantial improvements in his walk and homer rates and has done a much better job of stranding runners. Despite all of these successes, Lindstrom still sports a 1.45 WHIP, as he has been battered by a .352 BABIP. While he has never posted a rate lower than .331 in any of his four major league seasons, only once before has he put together a line drive rate below the major league average. He has a lower-than-average 18 percent rate this season, so as long as he can maintain that, his WHIP should recede over the coming weeks.
Chad Qualls, Tampa Bay: Leaving his awful stint as the Diamondbacks' closer behind, Qualls moves on to a middle and setup relief role with the Rays. Owners may think that Qualls has lost the last shred of value he had, moving to a team that has no need for a new closer, but he may still be able to help in Fantasy formats that utilize middle relievers. Qualls' skill ratios (strikeout, walk and homer rates) were not as good as his recent norms, but they weren't anywhere near as bad as an 8.15 ERA and 1.97 WHIP would suggest that they were. With a .431 BABIP, one would think that Qualls was getting scorched frequently, but he has not been very prone to giving up line drives (17 percent rate). He could be a surprisingly helpful free agent pickup in AL-only leagues that reward holds.
Who has been neither lucky nor unlucky (based on current batted ball rates)?
Jonathan Papelbon, Boston: Even with a reduced strikeout rate, Papelbon has been one of the top dozen relievers in Rotisserie. He's clearly not what he was two years ago, but the question for his current owners is whether he will decline even more. A .231 BABIP has helped the Red Sox closer to keep his WHIP under 1.10, but neither stat may increase much if he can maintain a lofty 46 percent flyball rate. Papelbon has paid a price for those flies, as he has yielded six homers in 44 1/3 innings, but even so, his ERA is just bubbling over the 3.00 mark. It is unrealistic to expect that he'll be one of Fantasy's best closers this season, but it's equally unrealistic to think he is bound for disaster.
Hong-Chih Kuo, L.A. Dodgers: Kuo has just three fewer holds than Fernando Rodney, and his ERA and WHIP are a fraction of the Angels' setup man's, yet he is owned in only about two-thirds as many leagues. Maybe owners don't believe that Kuo can maintain his current ERA and WHIP, both of which are below 1.00, but his .203 BABIP isn't too far from where we should expect it to be, given his sterling line drive and flyball rates. While those batted ball rates could creep northward, owners unsure of whether they can rely on him for ERA, WHIP and holds just might get the status quo from Kuo.
Bobby Jenks, Chicago White Sox: You don't have to look hard for affirmation if you want to believe that Jenks has been undeservedly saddled with a 4.70 ERA and 1.49 WHIP. His 11.5 K/9 ratio is his highest ever and he has only allowed two homers all season. It would be easy to blame his major-league worst .421 flyball BABIP as a fluke that is ruining his season. The fluke part is correct, but it doesn't get all of the blame for his subpar performance. Jenks doesn't allow many flyballs, which helps him to avoid home runs, but it is a trend that is conducive to a high overall BABIP. Jenks' overall .386 rate is bound to shrink somewhat, but given his high line drive and ground ball rates, he is not a candidate for dramatic improvement. With manager Ozzie Guillen's on-again, off-again threats to use other relievers in the ninth inning, Jenks could still be at risk of losing the closer's role.
Aaron Heilman, Arizona: The Snakes' new closer has made only mild progress on his control issues, while his strikeout rate has dropped for a second straight year, yet he is being rewarded with a respectable 3.38 ERA. Heilman's .280 BABIP rate looks normal and harmless enough, but it's a rate he will be hard pressed to keep, unless he cuts back on a 24 percent line drive rate. This is no one-time aberration, as Heilman has allowed 184 liners out of 848 hit balls (22 percent rate) over 282 1/3 innings since 2007. He simply does not have the command to be a successful closer long term.
Runs Created per 27 Outs (RC/27) -- An estimate of how many
runs a lineup would produce per 27 outs if a particular player
occupied each spot in the order; ex. the RC/27 for Miguel Cabrera
would predict the productivity of a lineup where Cabrera (or his
statistical equal) batted in all nine spots; created by Bill James
Component ERA (ERC) -- An estimate of a what a pitcher's ERA would be if it were based solely on actual pitching performance; created by Bill James
GO/AO -- Ground out-fly out ratio
GB/FB -- Ground ball-fly ball ratio
Batting Average per Balls in Play (BABIP) -- The percentage of balls in play (at bats minus strikeouts and home runs) that are base hits; research by Voros McCracken and others has established that this rate is largely random and has a norm of approximately 30%
Left-on-base rate (LOB) -- Also known as strand rate. The percentage of baserunners that a pitcher allows that does not result in an earned run scoring. The research that established LOB norms and benchmarks was conducted by Ron Shandler. His research established that a certain level of variation in LOB can reflect differences in pitchers' abilities to prevent baserunners from scoring.

Hero Buffalo city bus driver to be on Rachel Ray's 'Thanks for Giving' episode
Sun, 24 Nov 2013 15:46:34 GMT —
A New York bus driver who talked a distraught woman off of a highway overpass is set to appear on celebrity chef Rachael Ray's "Thanks for Giving" episode airing Monday.
The show says Darnell Barton's story is one of four to be highlighted in the show, which features an audience full of people who've been hailed as heroes.
Barton was driving his Metro bus in Buffalo Oct. 18 when he spotted a woman who had climbed over a guardrail and stood leaning over the afternoon traffic on the Scajaquada Expressway below.
He stopped his bus, got out and helped the woman climb to safety and then sat down with her and held her until help arrived. The incident was captured on the bus video system.

Response to a challenge over at lita_fics on LJ. Hope you guys enjoy, & please R&R!
A/N: This is slightly AU, as Chris is not a wrestler and never has been.
Chris sighed a little as he picked up yet another basket of dirty laundry and carried it across the hall to the small laundry room just outside of the kitchen. It seemed like he'd been doing laundry all day, and while he just wanted to abandon the task and watch the football game like any normal red-blooded male, he was more determined to finish the annoying job so that he could continue fixing up the house before Amy got home.
Amy, better known as the extreme WWE Diva Lita, and Chris had been dating for some time now, and today marked the couple's two year anniversary. Chris felt horrible that he couldn't actually buy Amy anything for the holiday, so as a way to make up for that, he'd gotten up extra early, made sure that Amy got some breakfast before she headed off to the arena to prepare for the show's taping, and got to tidying up the house as soon as his lady love was gone.
Wrestling was a very strange business to Chris—he didn't understand how a person could have so much passion for a business in which life-threatening injuries were almost a certain thing, a business that took its employees away from their friends and families for the better part of a year, stripping away their personal lives. He'd grown up watching it in Winnipeg, but he'd never entertained the notion of becoming a professional wrestler. Amy was different. She lived for the business, breathed it in, and soaked up all the knowledge she could about it — it made her extremely happy, and that was all that mattered to Chris.
The blonde saw how hard Amy worked, for very little reward, and he wanted to give her the reward that she never got. His job as a teacher at the local community college didn't bring in much money, but somehow, he and Amy were able to make it, and as soon as she got some time off, they were going to get married. A smile came over his lips as he thought about his anniversary present for the redhead—she was definitely going to be surprised when she came home. With a sigh of accomplishment, he tossed the last load of laundry into the machine, turned it on, and made his way into the bedroom, ready to begin assembling the perfect anniversary present. He just hoped that Amy would like it…
What a day, Amy Dumas thought as she entered the comforting atmosphere of her home. She'd been promised a shot at the Women's Championship, against none other than her best friend, Trish Stratus, but that had changed at the last minute for some reason, and she had been forced to compete in a Triple Threat instead. Amy didn't understand why the company didn't value her more—she'd been there for over five years, worked her ass off, and never got anything to show for it. For some reason, they always passed up giving opportunities to the girls who could actually wrestle, like herself, in favor of girls that only cared about being eye candy. It was frustrating, and sometimes Amy thought about quitting, but she knew deep down that she never would. She loved the job too much.
The smell of scented candles filled her nostrils suddenly, arousing the Diva's curiosity. She tossed her keys down on the small coffee table and bounded down the hall, stopping suddenly when she reached the bedroom she and Chris shared. Her eyes widened in surprise at the scene she probably wasn't supposed to see. Inside the large bedroom was probably the most romantic display she'd ever seen. There were scented candles all along the room, a dozen roses placed in the middle of the vanity desk where she put her makeup on in the morning, and several bottles of bubble bath. She smiled when she saw her boyfriend sitting on their large king-sized bed, wearing nothing but socks and a gorgeous smile.
"What's all this?" she asked, raising an eyebrow quizzically and gesturing to the elaborate setup of roses and candles that Chris had placed all around the room. Her boyfriend simply smiled smugly in response as he shifted onto his back and sat up, leaning against the headboard.
"Just waiting for you to get home," he answered, motioning for the redhead to join him on the bed. "I have a surprise for you..well, more than one, actually."
"Oh, really?" Amy asked, settling down beside of Chris. "What's the occasion?"
Chris tilted his head in surprise. "Did you get hit in the head especially harder than usual today or something? It's our anniversary."
"Oh, hon, I'm sorry, I completely forgot," Amy said, sighing in disappointment. She ran a hand through her thick red locks as she spoke. "I'm sorry, Chris…with all that's been going on this week, I didn't even think about it." She wrapped her arms around the man and placed a kiss on his cheek.
"I didn't get you anything."
He shrugged, that dazzling smile still lighting up his face.
"That's okay," the Canadian replied, kissing his girlfriend's head softly. "You'll have plenty of chances to make it up to me later." He raised an eyebrow.
"Oh really, now?" Amy asked curiously. "And just how do you propose that I go about doing that?"
"Well, I drew you a bath…we could always start there," he replied, winking saucily at his girlfriend. She winked back at him and said,
"Mmmm, a bubble bath sounds nice. Care to join me?"
Chris leaned over to kiss his girlfriend's neck softly, enjoying the soft feel of her skin and the intoxicating scent of her favorite perfume, Victoria Secret's Love Spell.
"You bet. But there's one thing I want you to do for me. When we emerge from our bath of bliss, there's a lacy, sexy, black thong that I want you to put on." He wiggled his eyebrows.
"Oooh, black underwear. You really went all out," Amy teased, giggling at the feel of Chris's lips on her skin.
"Hey, I read in Cosmo that every woman likes black underwear and vodka."
"So you're going to get me drunk and take advantage of me?" Amy questioned, softly lacing her fingers through her boyfriend's long, blonde hair.
The Canadian arched his brow and, in a low voice, replied,
"Would you like me to?"
Yeah...this sounded a LOT better in my head.

24/5 Prayer Room in MSU Library
An unbroken chain of prayer all during Holy Week, April 1-6, 2007.
Anytime during Holy week from Sunday noon to Friday night.
A study room on the second floor of the MSU library.
Find a slot at:
Sign up at:
More info? This is from the organizer, Tim Brown:
"Prayer will commence at noon on Palm Sunday (April 1st). We will be set up in one of the study rooms on the second floor of the library. As these rooms cannot be reserved ahead of time, I will not know the exact number of the room until we actually get set up. At that point I will email it out to everyone who has signed up.
The room will contain several stations to engage us in different kinds of prayer. We will have a corner of the room dedicated to creative worship, a campus map to pray for specific parts of the University, a wall to post prayer requests, a globe for world prayer, and much more!
We encourage students to commit to visiting the prayer room for one hour on each of the five days. We want to have people praying constantly, so we will need at least one person in the room for every hour. We also prefer not to have more than three at once, as it can get crowded."
This would be a good opportunity for your small group to sign up and go pray together. It'll be great to meet some other Christians and pray together during the week.
Let's press on to acknowledge the Lord (Hosea 6:3) during this week leading up to Easter!

Researchers at various universities are coordinating their efforts to find solutions -- including teams at the University of Pennsylvania and Rice University in Houston that are experimenting with a 3-D printer -- to make blood vessels and other structures for implant. As VOA's Greg Flakus reports from Houston, they are also using these artificial body parts to seek ways of defeating cancerous tumors.Read complete article© Voice of America - Sunday, February 7, 2016

YDTO you could take at least a minimal interest about your coworkers i mean, not knowing they have a prosthesis is kinda too much. well of course it depends on the size of your office, but still.

agree, unless he wears shorts you wouldn't know, for instance I have a fake eye and have to tell people because I've gotten used to working around it. if I was in your situation I would have told him to feel lucky, spots like that usually cost someone an Arm and a leg

Ah, its not so bad. First of all, to the people above, the OP might not know this coworker too well or see them often, but was just striking up a conversation on the way down or w/e. Also, some handicapped spots have the sign on the floor under the car, and then on the wall in front, and you can't see it when the car is parked. So they might not have deserved it. And to the OP, yeah, its awkward, but not that bad I think. If you said something like "why do you walk so weird" or something like that it would be worse. It seemed to me he was showing it to you like that kind of jokingly, and not really mad. Though you never know, maybe he's really touchy about it, in which case, FYL :P

It's not that bad really. All you had to do is shake it off. It's not like he will remember this tomorrow.
Today, I had to write my own notice for enforced redundancy because my boss just went on a two week vacation. He told me to just forge his signature and that, if I wouldn't do it, he'd just make something up to dismiss me on codes of conduct. FML

Matt Smith has announced his plan to leave Doctor Who at the end of the year. He is playing the role of Time Lord since 2010; the youngest to ever play the role. Matt's exit will coincides with the show's 50th anniversary in November when viewers can expect exciting episode.
In a statement, Smith said: "I'm incredibly grateful to all the cast and crew who work tirelessly every day to realize all the elements of the show and deliver Doctor Who to the audience.
"Many of them have become good friends and I'm incredibly proud of what we have achieved over the last four years.
"Your dedication is truly remarkable. Thank you so very much for supporting my incarnation of the Time Lord, number 11, who I might add is not done yet - I'm back for the 50th anniversary and the Christmas special... But when yagotta go, yagotta go.."
Smith's first appeared in the show in the New Year's Day episode in 2010.
Show runner Steven Moffat has nothing but praises for Smith. He said: "Every day, on every episode, in every set of rushes, Matt Smith surprised me. The way he'd turn a line, or spin on his heels, or make something funny, or out of nowhere make me cry - I just never knew what was coming next."

During amalgamation, two or more companies willingly come together to cooperate with each other and diversify (expand) their business activities.
After amalgamation, two or more companies dissolve (disintegrate) and lose their individual legal status (existence), hence they no longer exist anymore. However, they again re-establish themselves, but now jointly, by forming a new company having a unique name.
Thus, amalgamation results in the formation of a new (separate) company which has a unique name, logo, identity and existence.

Just less than two years after Nigerians threatened to boycott MultiChoice Nigeria over 20% subscription hike, the owners of DStv and GOtv, have yet again, increased their subscription rates by 5% with effect from May 1, 2017.
John Ugbe, managing director of Multichoice Nigeria, in a statement, defended its latest action, saying the adjustment was made after careful consideration and a review of its business operations.
"We announced last year that we would do everything possible to hold the price barring any extreme factors.
"However, all our content is purchased in dollars and although we have done everything possible to hold the prices even with the price of everything else going up, we are now left with no choice but to adjust our subscription prices from May 1.
"Our key priority is to put subscribers' needs at the heart of everything we do and therefore, in determining the price adjustment, we took into account many factors including, the impact on the customer, current inflation which stands at 19 per cent, programming costs and efficiencies within the company. Please be assured that we have worked really hard to keep this year's fees manageable."
Under the new price regime, the DStv monthly subscriptions are;
1. DStv premium bouquet, which is N13,980 will be N14,700
2. Compact Plus DStv subscribers will pay N9,900 as against the current N9,420
3. Compact subscribers will pay N6,300 instead of the normal N6,000.
4. Family bouquet subscribers will now be charged N3,800 as against the N3,600
5. Access bouquet would be N1,900 and not N1,800.
6. Commercial bouquet, which is currently N1,720, has been adjusted to N1,850.
The new rates for GOtv subscriptions are;
1. GOtv Value will now pay N1,300 instead of N1,200
2. GOtv Lite bouquets will pay N450, against the current rates of N400
3. GOtv Plus subscribers will have to pay N1,900 instead of the current rate of N1,800.

Here's the parcel that cost me a small fortune to have shipped over from the States. What a bloody customs and excise minefield! Never mind... I'm sure I've learnt my lesson. Inside is a Banjo Kit supplied by Brian Carver. Brian's made a plywood box to ship his kit in. Brilliant!
You can find more about the kit and Brian on his blog.
When I got chatting with Brian he told me that he's been building for about 10 years, selling his 99th banjo last month. His kits have been a runaway success; He sold 30 of them in 30 days! That's a lot of banjos! Brian says that he usually only makes about 10 a year. That's only about 10 more than me. ;-)
I hate politicians. Well, maybe I don't hate all politicians. I quite like the look of Joe Stead. This leaflet comes from the "old country" by way of a friend of mine.
"World peace through song"
Right on, brother Joe!
When I got talking with Brian I revealed that I'd just bought Foxfire 3 for its article on mountain banjos. Brian says that he's built a couple of banjos based upon Foxfire. I can see that the kit he's sent me tips a nod to what I've seen in the book. I've only flicked through it so far, but what I've seen excites me a lot.
My hope is to build my own version of the mountain banjo sometime, but that'll have to wait until I've finished by Highwayman banjo build. So many projects!
Finally, here's my unboxing video. The theme tune is one I knocked together and spoke about last week on a post then called "The Georgetown Jig".
Check this fantastic video out by Patrick Costello. I haven't built my banjo yet, but you can see here that Patrick's got his. He's a great speaker and I love that you get a little lesson and tune squeezed in all at the same time. Lovely.

The Anderson County Fire Taxing District joined taxing districts countywide in either keeping their tax rates flat or lowering them.
The fire district voted unanimously recently to keep its rate at 66 cents per $1,000 assessed value, a decision that will nevertheless result in an additional $7,800 thanks to an increase in the county's overall assessment.
"Basically, looking at the overall economy, we didn't want to throw any additional burden on folks," said Fire Chief Mike Barnes.
The parents of a Lawrenceburg teen were scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday in Anderson Circuit Court on charges that include selling marijuana to their 17-year-old son.
Hershel and Karen Brown of 124 Dove Drive face numerous charges after police searched their residence and reported finding marijuana, hydrocodone, Oxyconton, cash and guns.
Police also found 1.3 ounces of marijuana in their son's pocket that was divided up in small baggies for resale, according to a complaint filed by officer Jeremy Cornish of the Lawrenceburg Police Department.
There's no need to wait for UK, the Bengals or any of the other college or NFL teams to start playing for real — the Bearcats do that tonight when they host Bryan Station in their season opener.
Kickoff is 7:30 at the high school. Admission is $5.
The Bearcats made it to the state finals last year and are expected to field a rugged team again this year under head coach Mark Peach.
Charges against a Lawrenceburg woman who claimed police pointed a gun at her to force her to confess to a crime were dismissed just before she was supposed to stand trial last Wednesday morning.
Heather Hume, 32, of 201.5 Saffell St. was charged last August with falsely reporting an incident when a man at that address, Zachary Penwell, allegedly shot himself in the leg to avoid paying rent and claimed he was robbed.
David Nutgrass, a prosecutor with the Anderson County attorney's office, explained why the charges against Hume were dropped.
Twelve candidates filed by Tuesday's deadline for six seats on the Lawrenceburg City Council, including each of the six incumbents, according to information provided by Anderson County Clerk Jason Denny.
They will face off in the Tuesday, Nov. 6 general election, with the highest six vote getters earning council seats.
The six challengers include Dustin Burley, George Geohegan III, David Allen Kays, Troy Settles, Dan Stumph and David Watts.
The incumbents are Bobby Durr, Ken Evans, Larry Giles, Steven Rucker and Paul Thomas Vaughn.
The city council unanimously approved more than $318,000 in paving projects and a replacement chlorinator for the city's water plant at its monthly meeting on Aug. 13.
Public works director Larry Hazlett announced the chosen bid of $141,890 with BJ's Striping, Paving and Sealing for a total 1,867 tons of city street paving in the upcoming year.
Planned paving projects for city streets include:
Court Street: 2,630 feet
Hilltop Drive: 100 feet
Eagle Drive: 975 feet
Hummingbird Drive: 385 feet
Preliminary numbers show that the school board can lower the tax rate property owners pay in the coming year while receiving more total revenue.
The numbers, released last Friday by Anderson County Property Value Administrator Brian Stivers, show that a so-called "compensating" rate would lower the rate on real estate from $5.52 per $1,000 assessed value to $5.48, a drop of about 1 percent.
Even with the rate drop, the district would collect around $62,000 more than it did the previous year.
The American Legion Auxiliary Unit 34 will host its annual poker run Sept. 15 at the Healing Field and American Legion clubhouse.
Registration will be from 10-11:30 a.m., with kick stands up at noon. Each hand will be $10 and an extra card is $5, with each participant being limited to two.
There will be a complimentary cookout of hamburgers, hot dogs, drinks, chips and baked beans for riders served at 4 p.m., with $5 per plate for non-riders. Other activities and prizes include first and second place winners, including the worst hand, a 50/50 pot and pull tabs.
One bond was cashed in 12 years ago, but the work it was supposed to pay for was never done.
Another bond, this one to fix the small road that leads to 4 Way Stop and Go and Century 21 off Frankfort Road, means taxpayers will be on the hook for thousands to make repairs.
Both problems surfaced following last Tuesday's meeting of the Anderson County Fiscal Court.
The Kentucky state attorney general's office recently ruled in favor of The Anderson News' appeal to view the Early Childhood Center's property appraisal, stating the Board of Education improperly denied public access to the documents.

Welcome Back Movie, John Abraham Injured –
"Welcome back", the sequel of "Welcome" legacy which stars John Abraham in the lead, is passing through a tough time. John has been injured many times while shooting for the film. He recently got a serious neck sprain while riding a Hummer in desert, and has again sustained injuries while shooting an action sequence.
In pursuit of having a perfect shot, in which he had to bang his head against a glass table, he ended up hurting himself and sustaining several cuts and injuries. Welcome Back's director, Anees Bazmee, was reported saying "John often joked that he ended up injuring himself shooting a comedy film, more than when he shoots action films. He concealed his bruises with make-up and continued shooting."
In spite of his hectic schedule taking a toll on his health, he managed the incident in a true professional manner, instead of taking the director's offer of postponing the shoot. A hero in a real life indeed not only in reel life.
