With the IPL facings its toughest credibility test, the Indian Express' editor-in-chief, Shekhar Gupta, highlights the flaws in the governance of the tournament, including the conflicts of interest that border on corporate fraud and "cricketing permissiveness". The controversy, he says, has presented the BCCI with a critical choice where they can either make the IPL a serious cricket league or reduce it to a mere spectacle.
Some controversy hits the IPL every year. But this controversy is by far the most crippling. Because this has put the credibility of the very league in doubt. It has brought criticism and apprehension to the minds of all kinds of stakeholders, from politicians, who want to nationalise the BCCI or ban the IPL, to Pepsi, which may want out as its lead sponsor. This time, the BCCI cannot blame a mere individual and hang him. Nor can it rely on the old cynical and lazy notion that cash will solve all problems. It has to clean up not just the IPL, but itself, make a promise of transparency and offer itself voluntarily to some kind of an impartial, outside oversight, if not RTI
Brad Haddin takes on England in The Ashes with a fresh perspective on cricket after his two-year-old daughter was diagnosed with cancer last year. Chris Barrett of The Age reveals how Haddin's attitude has changed towards the game, and how this experience has put him in good stead when it comes to understanding his priorities between cricket and his life.
'I'd be lying if I said it didn't,'' he says. ''I think I'm a lot more comfortable now with where cricket is at. Sometimes you can get caught in the bubble and think international cricket is the be-all and end-all. But with what happened at home, it put things in perspective. And I'm very comfortable now with where my game is at and where my cricket is at.
In the editorial column for Indian Express, with developments from the IPL spot-fixing crisis reaching new vistas, specifically the Chennai Super Kings link, it becomes vitally imperative that measures are taken to remove those people who have the ability to influence or impede the clean-up that is needed for the game to be riddled of corruption and insouciance. Two individuals in particular, both N Srinivasan and Rajiv Shulka, can no longer afford to both answer the tough questions, and sit on the jury thereafter.
As a franchise owner, and as someone closely related to an individual now under the scanner for deals and dalliances with dubious bookmakers, Srinivasan needs to step down from the helm of the BCCI. Shukla, under whose watch the league faces its biggest crisis of credibility, has also lost the moral right to stride to the podium to hand out the silverware to winners on match days. By all accounts, the parliamentarian and minister has squarely put himself in the way of charges of taking his eyes off the ball and conflict of interest allegations.
Spot-fixing is simply an extension of gambling, and according to Dilip D'Souza in Live Mint, gambling is something which appeals to human nature as it manifests from our greed. When bookies offer you fanciful odds that seem too good to be true, then they usually are. By having a player who is willing to dance to your tune for a kickback, you control the odds and ultimately, the outcome. Spot fixing will always have a market as people who are otherwise informed, will always hedge bets when they see the potential for a great payoff.
The reason bookies might offer such odds--1:1 for the coin, 5:1 for the dice--is that they know their probabilities as well as you do, and naturally they don't want to lose money. In fact, they will likely tweak the odds they offer just enough so they actually make money. That is, after all, why they do what they do. So if you find a bookie offering quite different odds than you expect, it's likely he knows something you don't.
Mukul Kesavan in The Telegraph India (warning: a satirical piece) believes that the media should not necessarily connect the actions of Sreesanth, Chandila and Chavan, with being an unfortunate product of an otherwise corrupt tournament, riddled with contemptuous activities and allegations of vast amounts of money changed between parties. The piping from the media should not distract from the bad decisions made by individuals who knew what the consequences were.
As Sunil Gavaskar sagely said on television after the Sreesanth story broke, there should be no rush to judgment. These are wise words: if the past and precedent (and the ability of the Indian police to secure a conviction) are a guide, it isn't just possible, it is likely that Sunnybhai might find himself some years from now sharing a commentary box with a shiny, new, exonerated Sreesanth. The IPL is a golden Ganga in spate; it gilds everything that it touches.
David Warner's twitter row with Australian cricket journalist Malcolm Conn gained headlines last week as it provided a view into how prodding from the media, especially from certain sections, coupled with a less-than-stellar four months away from home, could push the left-handed batsman to openly lambast Conn through such boorish means. The spew, antagonised by Twitter's accessibility, caused Warner to transgress from what should have been a private matter, into one escalated on a global platform. Greg Baum reflects in his column for The Age.
In that moment, either he would have forgotten, or cavalierly ignored, the fact that he was in effect on broadcast. Marvelling once at an especially profane radio commentator who somehow never slipped up on air, he explained that the microphone acted on him as the presence of his mother would. Social media, unfortunately, seems to be the province of orphans.
The recent spot-fixing controversy has put many issues within the Indian Premier League into sharp relief, the most important one being how the BCCI and world cricket perceives the tournament and the format. As Mini Kapoor writes in the Indian Express, the fixing scandal can have implications beyond just the Indian league and administrators across the world must own the format if it is to be taken seriously.
As the allegations against Sreesanth have shown, a taint on one format will not necessarily leave the rest of cricket unaffected. A beginning needs to be made of finding ways to collectively own the T20 format, and to do so in a manner that recognises that the IPL is not any old domestic league. In its composition and in the priority that the best cricketers anywhere in the world give it (even if it is for purely monetary reasons), it is not.Those of us given to holding our noses and dismissing it as a seasonal affliction need to reconsider our disdain. T20 is as much cricket today as Test matches are, and the IPL is its primary competition.
In his column for Asian Age, Ashok Malik argues that the onus of keeping spot-fixing at bay lies with the players, even as the BCCI must deal with the lack of corporate governance in the IPL. He also states that the format of the game makes T20 cricket most vulnerable to such forms of fixing.
"Cricket journalists still remain remarkably innocent of the details of spot-fixing, spread betting and how online betting sites -- perfectly legitimate ones -- allow for very dynamic odds, entry and exit of the punter in real time and at strategic moments, and the analogue of what the stock market would call futures trading.All of these parameters become that much more pertinent in a Twenty20 game rather than a Test match. If a team is chasing 270 in four sessions to win a Test match, two successive maiden overs or two successive expensive overs will make little difference. If a team is chasing 170 in a T20 game, two successive maiden overs or two successive expensive overs can mean a dramatic difference to the odds on offer before and after those two overs. This may happen without necessarily affecting the final result. It could make some people very rich in two overs."
In the Indian Express, the editorial column argues about how the lack of adequate response from the BCCI is as much a failing to Indian cricket as the exploits of the infamous Rajasthan trio. The board has simply not been proactive in riddling out corruption in cricket, and has chosen to largely be reactive when it comes to identifying the nefarious parties involved and how to deal with them. There is no reason why the BCCI, the most powerful board in cricket, can not do more to stamp out such activity, and lead the way to a recovery from these dark times.
The IPL's problem -- and the BCCI's too, by implication, as the two entities are so deeply entwined -- is that its administrators lack credibility when they aver they are seized of the matter. Their reassurances that action will be taken on the spot-fixing charges strike a feeble chord, not because they are not expected to take stern action against the offending threesome
In the Firstpost, G Pramod Kumar raises questions on the role of the police in the current investigations against the three cricketers. He says that the leaks appearing in the media which have been attributed to the police seem to focus on sleaze rather than real investigation and it is hardly of any legal consequence.
With the plethora of images of fans burning effigies and protesting against the actions of the tainted Rajasthan trio, one can wonder if this really spells the end for the IPL, who seemingly has lost more credibility with each passing season. S. Ram Mahesh, in his column for the The Hindu believes that with the limited overs played, the risks batsmen are willing to take, and the need to take wickets at a greater rate than before; it is almost impossible to decipher which are legitimate or illegitimate actions on the field as the game opens itself up to error in its shortest format.
The most unsettling aspect of all that has happened these last few days is the reminder that cricket's very structure, which affords its fans such joy, is so vulnerable to manipulation. Cricket is a series of discrete events, each initiated by the bowler. This gives cricket its unique rhythm; its space for the pause allows reflection. But, cruelly, it also allows these events to be remote-controlled.
In Wisden India, Saurabh Somani writes that in a shortened format where one wide down the legside, one top-edged six etc are the differentiators between victory and defeat, the fixing of one period of play - however brief - must surely count as match-fixing, rather than spot-fixing. Regarding the investigation, it should not just examine the wrongdoings of the three players, but check how far the rot spreads.
For all I know, that may well be the case, and there could have been several good reasons to keep the scope of the enquiry away from public consumption. When the controversy broke, there seemed to be genuine hurt in Srinivasan's voice while answering questions from across television channels. And he's right too, when he says that the BCCI does not have the power to police all bookies across the country, but can only focus on educating its players. But given that the board is composed of several powerful politicians across most state associations, it is surely not beyond its power to institute a more comprehensive enquiry.
B Baskar ponders in his column for The Hindu Business Line whether this recent scandal will really prevent fans from coming on board for the next edition? There seems to be a complete separation in how the scandal has broken out, and what has transpired in the tournament thus far. The fact that the BCCI has continued operating on the same schedule as before only goes to show how such a scandal has added fuel to the fire when it comes to categorising IPL as 'crictainment.'
The day after the scandal broke, Hyderabad Sunrisers took on Rajasthan Royals in Hyderabad. The ESPN Cricinfo correspondent was in the stadium to report on the fans' reaction to the scandal. Unsurprisingly, the fans couldn't give a damn about the scandal and turned out in huge numbers to support their team. They were there to have a blast. The spot fixing scandal could well be happening in Mars. There seemed to be a complete dissonance between the self-righteous fulminations of our TV anchors and the frenzy of the fans at the stadium.
Santosh Desai, in his column for Times of India ponders over the actions of the Rajasthan trio, and whether their actions are solely to blame, or have they too been tainted by the nefarious forces that make up the IPL. In a league where celebrity owners trump stars, and money makes Kapil Dev dance to the tune of the tournament's organisers, it is hardly surprising that the advent of easy thrills, sex and money can lure people with otherwise good intentions, into a quandry. Desai argues that cheating is no longer such a black and white issue when you have such elements at play.
When scandals erupt, the guardians of the game seem more interested in protecting the viability of the tournament than in preserving the spirit of the sport. Those on the gravy train are quick to get into the time honoured 'few bad apples/rotten eggs' mode of defensiveness; in truth nobody really wants to know what goes on. The day after the scandal broke, the television coverage from the studio studiously ignored it and focused instead on 'guests' Sonakshi Sinha and Akshay Kumar while the dancing troupe jumped japangly in the background.
With social media increasingly becoming an important part of our world, it is only inevitable that cricketers, and their dirty laundry, are aired more frequently in the public domain. The recent Twitter spat between sports journalist Malcolm Conn and Australian batsman David Warner is just another example of this unfortunate phenomenon. Richard Hinds in his column for Sydney Morning Herald, uncovers why cricketers feel the need to resort to social media to publicise their grievances.
As strange as it might seem, most sportswriters would prefer to be confronted by a red-faced player or coach screaming invective than the modern equivalent: A tremulous message from a disempowered club "communications officer" who assumes we are as terrified of a disgruntled superstar as they are. Who surmise, often incorrectly, that we would be mortified to learn that "Nathan wasn't too happy with what you wrote at the weekend".
The ongoing IPL season has highlighted the need for teams to have a quality spinner in their ranks. A majority of teams have gone as far as to play two front line spinners on sub-continental pitches that offer turn and bounce. Slow bowling, which for quite some time was incorrectly viewed as superfluous in T20 cricket, has made a comeback in a big way over the past few years. Writing for Live Mint, Niranjan Rajadhyaksha breakdowns the elements of spin bowling, and how important the art of flight and deception can be in a pressure-packed contest.
What seems to have been lost in terms of flight has perhaps been made up by the sheer variety of display: the traditional spin, the googly, the flipper, the doosra and the carrom ball, for example. Watching Narine mix them up is a delight. During this IPL season, I have even seen spinners bowl a couple of deliveries "seam-up" in the style of a medium-pace bowler
BJ Watling's match behind the stumps at Lord's came to an early end with a knee injury, but he had enjoyed an excellent outing with the gloves on a ground that has caught out many a keeper. Over the last 12 months he has become a central part of New Zealand's Test line up with bat and gloves, but he won't be shouting about it from the rooftops as Andrew Alderson explains in the New Zealand Herald
Watling doesn't publicly trumpet his achievements. Even on the field he could best be observed as buoyant or chirpy rather than extrovert. He appears reticent as far as keepers go, preferring to hear the thud of ball swallowed by gloves than his own voice. Besides, his statistics are doing the talking.
On the ground where he made his debut 10 years ago, James Anderson reached 300 wickets when he removed Peter Fulton on the second day against New Zealand. In his column for the Mail on Sunday he reflects in his achievement and is still struggling to take it all in.
Being at Lord's, where I made a less-than-perfect start to my Test career, surrounded by very good mates and hearing that lovely applause from the crowd made the hair on the back of my neck stand on end. I will never forget any of it. And there were other reasons why it was such an intense moment. There have been times in my career when I thought nothing like this would ever happen or could, when I'd been injured or dropped and wondered whether I would ever play for England again.
In the Guardian, Vic Marks says that, unlike the other four England bowlers to reach 300 wickets, Anderson has time on his side for many more
Admittedly, Botham was only 29 but he had already given his body a bit of a hammering - this, of course, is a reference to a back rebelling against such a heavy on-field workload. He reached 300 in seven years; he played Test cricket for eight more but in his last 30 Tests he took only 78 wickets at 37 apiece. In essence he became a batting all-rounder.Willis at 34 had ruthlessly bullied his body to keep bowling fast. With his action, of which not even Heath Robinson would have been proud, he would not have got past first base with today's array of multi-qualified ECB coaches and physios looking on. Willis would play nine more Tests after his grabbing his 300th, taking 25 more wickets. As for Trueman, 33 when his colleagues decorously shook his hand at †he Oval, there were just two more matches against New Zealand in 1965 and that was it at Test level.
Gaurav Kalra, in his blog on IBN Live, believes the IPL should have taken a temporary break from hosting matches, especially as the affair can not only have begun and ended with the three Rajasthan Royals involved. A clean-up operation is required first in order to remove nefarious elements from the tournament. How can one get involved in the true spirit of the game if any no-ball, badly bowled delivery, or soft dismissal is viewed with dubious legality?
Watching an IPL game now can be torturous and tragically comic at the same time. Is a batsman adjusting a leg-guard sending a signal to bookie? Was a bowling change that didn't come off done so on the direction of a puppeteer on the outside? If viewed through the prism of suspicion, cricket will lose its reason to exist. That danger won't go away by shoving more of the game down our throats, garnished with song, dance and glamour. Our cricket needs a cuddle and an embrace. It needs to catch a breath.
The Hindu laments about India's current spot-fixing crisis and how, no matter what the BCCI has stated, the game has lost its credibility in India. This is a systemic problem that has been prevalent for some time, but has duly been ignored by the BCCI as they continue to wring as much money as possible from the game through outlets such as the IPL.
Cricket, or for that matter any other popular sport, has never been a stranger to such scandals. From the time the Chicago White Sox "threw" the American baseball championship in 1919, sport has been fair game for fixers. And in India, where betting on sport other than horse racing is illegal, almost everybody following cricket has been aware that outrageously large sums of money were changing hands each time a big game was played. This was particularly so in Twenty20 cricket, which lends itself easily to spot fixing.
DNA published a provocative cartoon lampooning the current spot-fixing cloud that has been hanging over the IPL since yesterday morning. The illustration depicts a painter who has changed the original batsman hitting a six image on the IPL logo, to one of a player desperately clutching at a bag of money. The inevitable fall as he reaches for the money bag is indicative of what happened to Sreesanth, Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan.
Siddhartha Vaidyanathan, in his blog, Sidvee Blogs, highlights how the BCCI has been somewhat hypocritical, both in their stance and the actions they have taken to deal with individuals that have sullied the IPL in the past. He questions why the BCCI never formally handed stiffer punishments to the 'IPL five' of last year who were guilty of match fixing. Siddhartha also chronicles Sreesanth's rise into the Indian cricket team, and how he managed to come up from a cricketing backwater state like Kerala to become a leading fast bowler. His fall will dishearten those who took heart from how he rose from so little, to such prominence.
The league's integrity has taken a massive hit in the last four years - conflict of interest and arm-twisting over team ownership in 2010, fixing in 2012, fixing in 2013 - yet you wear multiple hats and refuse to send a clear message that you want to run a clean league? Doesn't it strike you that owning an IPL team and running the BCCI and sitting on the IPL governing council and heading the Tamil Nadu cricket association is clearly not the best way to "root out" corruption?
In her blog, former Australian women allrounder Lisa Sthalekar documented the plight of fellow state cricketer Kath Koschel, who faced the battle of her life when she began experiencing back and leg pain after pushing herself too hard in the gym in an attempt to get into the New South Wales state side. This story can be seen as both a warning and inspiration to those who do the hard yards to realise their dreams.
There are some athletes that choose to do the hard work, and there are others that face it front on and push the limits. Kath was certainly one that pushed her body to the limit. I would see her every morning and evening, before and after work, smashing herself at the Cricket NSW gym, and over the course of a few months she was one of the fittest players in the squad. It was around September of 2010 that she started to experience back pain. Being a private person and a hard trainer she just kept her head down and focused on training. I still remember the day that I was hanging around in the physio room in November 2010 when the physio at the time, Kate Blackwell (Alex's twin sister) asked Kath what her symptoms were. "I can't feel my leg," she said casually.
In the Guardian, Stuart Broad speaks to Donald McRae about his recovery from injury, the upcoming England summer and the Ashes as well as the Champions Trophy, and support from David Saker.
Broad's fitness and form will be central to England's hopes against New Zealand and Australia - as well as in the Champions Trophy. England have never won a major 50-over tournament but Broad is bullish. "It's a fantastic opportunity for us because I can't remember the last time we lost a one-day series in England. Just like India were favourites for the last World Cup in their conditions, we stand a good chance of winning it."The Ashes, however, loom over this cricketing year. "You walk into a coffee shop and it's the first thing someone says to you. And if we get weather like this [Broad gestures at a stunning day], it'll be fantastic. There are little things the team mentions - like the fact England haven't won four back-to-back Ashes in 120 years. There's a big chance for us to make a huge amount of history."
The advent of T20 cricket has brought about the need for big hitters and hits into the crowd. With bats improving, the boundaries being reined in, and more cricketers hitting the weights, it comes as no wonder that sixes are an ever-increasing part of the cricket word, almost as ubiquitous as taking catches or hitting fours. In The National's, Osman Samiuddin recalls his most vivid examples of sixes, and what T20 cricket has done to dilute its significance in the modern era.
The first mis-hit six I actually saw on television was another top-edged hook, by another Pakistani batsman in Australia. This was authored by that little dynamo of a batsman, Qasim Umar, no height but all cut and hook, and affectionately nicknamed "Disco". He was beaten for pace by the West Indian Tony Gray in Perth, so much so that though the ball described a high arc, it went only a little to the left of the wicketkeeper in angle. Umar kissed the edge of his bat, smiling acknowledgment to being beaten, but being alive

No way is crime down in the past nine years. You used to read about some crime taking place every once in a while but in the past 9 years that has escalated to what we have now which is several crimes being reported by the media every day. This does not include those crimes that are not being reported by the media. Salina has a crime wave occurring and neither law enforcement agency is capable under the leadership we presently have to do anything about it.

Hi all,
I've been working on a Yme-Loc Eldar army for a while now, and while I've not been perfectly happy with some of it, other things have turned out well. I'm posting here what I'm happiest with so far - my first War Walker.
Please let me know what you think of it, in particular the stippling, which is my first attempt at doing it.
Note that the base isn't done at all. I'm envisioning a snow-covered ruined Maiden World kinda look, but basing isn't one of my strengths. Any help with that would be great!

Undersea Warfare
"Submarines and mines are the biggest threat to any sea control mission. We must take them very seriously. To have dominance at sea, we better be good at anti-submarine and mine warfare." ADM Gary Roughead, CNO The NPS Undersea Warfare curriculum offers students the opportunity to study the fundamental principles that apply to the design, performance, and employment of sensors, unmanned vehicles, and tactics in the undersea environment. The program combines electrical and mechanical engineering, mathematics, oceanography, physics, and operations research into a multi-disciplinary program of study.

Students select their major, earning a Master of Science degree in any of a number of topics including Engineering Acoustics, Applied Math, Physics, Physical Oceanography and Engineering. Admission into some degree programs may be restricted based on undergraduate degree, but enough variety in degrees exists to match most officers' goals and interests. In addition to an MS degree, US Naval officer students earn a 6301P subspecialty code and Phase 1 JPME certification. Master of Science degrees that may be earned in the USW curriculum include (but are not limited to): |

The only downside is just one toilet - if you are a group of more than three persons - mornings will be a sort of logistics problem. :)
I'd definitely choose it again - no matter there is no WiFi hotspot. - « go back

I left Bannatyne's when I found the standard of yoga and other tutors for the classes was poor or it was impossible to easily book for the best ones. The notice period is ridiculous; to demand 3 months is just about money making and the staff denied they had received my letter which meant I paid for 6 months when I wasn't using it (£300!!!). Staff attitude and customer service on resolving issues like this was 'take it or leave it hard luck we have you on a binding contract. (read more)

I wouldn't recommend this gym. Frequently service is given with a sneer rather than a smile, particularly by some of the gym instructors. The gym floor is pretty dark which can feel a little depressing. Although the free weights area is well equipped and pretty popular. There are a lot of cardio machines but I would appreciate a climbing machine rather than repeats of the same equipment. On the plus side there is a wide choice of TV and radio channels to watch when working out. (read more)

This review seems to be an inside job and I am sure there are rules against this type of manipulation.. Conversations among members seem to revolve around the rudeness of majority of staff and unresponsiveness of the manager to comments, concerns and complaints as you can see from the rest of the reviews.
There isn't a reasonable quality gym for miles and Bannatyne are abusing their monopoly.

A tip for all of you who are trying to get out of contracts - offer to send in a petition - My club removed the scales from the changing rooms & replaced them with ones you have to pay £1. We used to get weighed all the time - not unreasonable in a gym - so it was going to cost us a fortune plus the new scales were inaccurate as they measure your height & gave me 3 different readings so BMI was wrong. We asked if the free scales could be put back alongside the new ones - as the decision... (read more)

I agree, Chepstow service does not match the other Manchester Gyms. I find the towel inconsistancies silly.
The staff are snotty and sadly so are a number of the members (clique). Even more annoyingly is the instructors favourtism with the clique who are at the front of every class. Ignoring anyone else in classes who might be struggling or need advice.
There is a lot of changing room birchiness.
The location and validated parking is the only advantage to this gym. Though the lady with short blonde hair on reception is lovely.
Avoid this gym if you are new or a first time gym member, its not friendly at all. Whereas Quay street and Whitworth are.

I signed up to the chingford branch in November 2012, I informed the staff that I was expecting to relocate in the new year and was told told that it would not be a problem to cancel my membership in the first three months, I have the document to prove that this was said to me. I have again been relocated and there is not a bannatyne gym where I will be moving. I have made numerous phone calls and each time have been told to send an email which I have done and I am still awaiting a response. After reading the comments posted it seems that I am not the only person struggling with the customer service received and the lack of response from head office to resolve this issue.

We enjoyed our time at Bannatynes today. But we felt that there wasn't enough facilities there for people on a spa day. At the steam room, sauna and jacuzzi you could only fit a few people in and we were finding we had to queue to use these facilities. The relaxation room was full, and as we could not lounge round in our swimwear we had to get dressed constantly. As there were no robes available all day either. The swimming pool was restricted due to children's swimming lessons and groups... (read more)

The gym was alright, plenty of good machines, however the whole thing feels like a but of a con, I would advise that you read all the small print before taking out a membership. The staff are rude and they snap at you, overall not a great experience. I wasted my money, I would advise finding a small, local gym. It will be a lot friendlier. Who needs state of the art gym equipment, when you do not feel welcome. (read more)

Great gym, great staff, especially on reception! They all know my name, know what classes to book for me before i ask, i've been a member for years and just had a great time today and thought i'd share for a change. If you're thinking of joining a gym, look here first, the little extra you pay is well worth it when you look at the extra quality of equipment, staff and cleanliness you receive. Be back again tomorrow for zumba. Pat (read more)

Wow! What a fantastic day me and my partner had at Bannatyne, Peterborough. We were greated by a very friendly and smiley receptionist, who gave us all the info we would need for our spa day. This was also followed up by a tour of the centre by 'Johnny' also a very friendly, informative member of staff. The gym here is nothing short of awesome!!

I booked an eyebrow tint online but when calling up to check whether I needed a patch test beforehand, I was put through to the call centre. I was then on hold for 45 minutes and then got the message that the call centre was now closed! Unbelievable that you can't even get through to ask someone a very simple question!

Fantastic, been a member for 5 years now and just had my fitness review done for the 3rd time this year ( at no extra cost i might add).

Wet areas i.e steam room, sauna are in poor condition. You have to give your card to get a towel and then bring your dirty towels all the way to the front desk to get back your card. When you complain saying that they should find a more customer friendly way to manage their towels, they claim that this is a best practice! Is this a joke?? Sadly not. (read more)

Booked Spa Days at Bannatynes twice now in Inverness and Edinburgh Centre and both times have been bad. Both occasions treatments booked were changed on the day.

Confusion over payments, taking twice and weeks spent out of pocket. Shame, very frustrating when should have been a nice treat. (read more)

Started off well but when it came to cancelling it became a nightmare. When joining you sign a contract for 12 months, stating that you must give 90 days notice prior to cancelling ( Biggest rip off I have ever came across) How they can justify this, I don't know! And if you decide to give one months like I initially did - they pester you for the remainder until they threaten to issue a CCJ on you. If you want my advice, stay well clear of Bannstynes Fitness, they should wear a mask when... (read more)

Partially agree with Pencilpoppy, I have recently joined Banbury. When you join you are suggested that you will be made very welcome.

I recently rejoined Bannatynes in Banbury. Manager who initially saw me was very efficient and friendly but almost too quick to get rid of me. Essentially the customer is not left feeling special. Went to changing rooms and overheard two women saying how dirty the place had become. Used the gym - great. Swimming pool and jacuzzi - great. Went for a bite to eat - not so good. Watched from the eating area with interest. Customers left at 'bar' area with no one serving. Phone rings for ages.... (read more)

Interesting. I have a Bannatynes down the road and expressed interest in joining a few years ago. I was very put off by the fact that they can't (or won't!) give you a simple breakdown of monthly/annual fees. I was told I would have to book a tour first but, if it was out of my price range why would I want to see it? And of course when I finally got some information it is indeed an expensive option. I decided not to join as I couldn't tie myself into the minimum contract and I was very wary of their attitude. I don't like companies which don't make their pricing clear from the start. I have since been rung three or four times to see whether I am interested in joining. Ultimately it is not the price that has put me off. It is this sort of obscure policy. I sense there would be trouble if you didn't read the small print with a microscope and therefore will keep away from it.

I visit Bannatynes in Inverness every day and I am not going to give a bad review of Bannatynes just because of one or two unpleasant staff members.

I very nearly wrote a length review regarding the experience I had working there. But felt it unnecessary, and unfair. So I shall leave it to your own experience. However, all I do ask is that you bare in mind those you see working within the clubs and spas are paid minimum wage, and told how to run their facilities, and have very little impact on any serious changes. You'll have to climb the ladder to find anyone with any real authority. Cheers. (read more)

Totally agree with having to climb the ladder. I have to use the disabled changing room at Bannatynes. Now I am not 'obviously' disabled ie in a wheelchair or something like that, but anyway a rather unpleasant domestic called me an effing B for using it and saying it was only for disabled people. On explaining what my disability was he replied 'I don't give a monkeys' so my next stop was the manager.

Release candidate 1 (RC1) of the Spring Framework 3.2 has arrived courtesy of VMware's SpringSource division. Increasing in popularity as it is, this iteration of the Java-based application framework features support for the HTTP PATCH method and custom injection annotations. There is now a gateway to enable loading WebApplicationContexts in the TextContext framework and all of these new features will be included in the Spring MVC Test project.

Spring Framework cofounder and current project lead Juergen Hoeller describes this generation of the core Spring framework as a "straightforward next step" after last year's Spring Framework 3.1 and the developments it offered at that time.
Other new features in Spring Framework 3.2 include a new Gradle-based framework build designed to make it easier to contribute to the Spring Framework project on GitHub. Also here is an inlined CGLIB 3.0 and ASM 4.0, fully supporting Java 7 byte code and making CGLIB-based functionality available "without explicit declaration" of a CGLIB dependency.
The team has also worked to feature the inclusion of the formerly standalone Spring MVC Test project. This, says Hoeller, allows for "first-class testing" of Spring MVC applications. There is also early support for JCache 0.5 (JSR-107) as a backend for Spring's cache abstraction.
"We are working towards the 3.2 GA release now, with a further release candidate based on community feedback as well as remaining refinements on our side — coming in late November," blogged Hoeller. "We've received many pull requests in the course of the milestone phase already, so keep them coming on the way to GA (and beyond)!" he enthused.

Not only is the ornament beautiful, but the lettering for the names of the various family members is just outstanding. Many companies allow only 6 letters for a name, but with our family, we need 7 and even 8 letters. The lettering is so clear and precise. Whoever does it is so talented. It must take a lot of patience to do this, and the final product really shows the care that is given to make the ornament a beautiful keepsake. Thank you so much! Janet and Neil B."

Also, Juan Carlos Paniagua signed his first contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks as "Juan Callado" on 5-8-2009 and pitched for the DSL Diamondbacks in the Dominican Summer League in 2009-10, but the contract was "pending" for almost two years and was never officially approved by MLB. The contract was eventually rejected by MLB due to "fraudulent paperwork" and Paniagua (Callado) was suspended for one year and then was declared a free-agent. He signed with the New York Yankees in March 2011 but then was suspended again and that contract was rejected, too, because his birth certificate could not be verified. Paniagua was cleared by MLB in 2012 and he signed with the Cubs on 7-9-2012. Therefore, Paniagua could be eligible for selection in the Rule 5 Draft for the first time in December 2013, since 2009 was his "first season" on the field and he was 18 on the June 5th immediately preceding the signing of his first contract, or he might not be eligible for selection in the Rule 5 Draft for the first time until December 2015, if 2012 is considered Paniagua's "first season" for Rule 5 eligibility purposes.
Cubs have $10,556,500 in draft pool money (and if they don't mind paying a a 75% tax on $527,825, they can go up to $11,084,325).
Players in bold have allegedly signed. Anyone after the 10th round signed for over $100K counts against their draft money.
If the player has yet to sign or there's no media report on the bonus, the third column is the recommened slot money.

almost 9% of MLB players have ADHD/mental-health exemptions for amphetamine use (well more than the population average at large)...and the amount who use stimulants not on the banned list bumps that up quite considerably...from the ones who pound redbull to the ones taking the newest GMC stimulant(s) that hasn't appeared on the ban list (yet).

Indictment handed down in February murder: Police say money caused admitted gambling addict to commit crime
By Bill Conrad, email@example.com
PLANO - A Fort Worth resident has been indicted for the February murder of a 33-year-old Plano man.
On Feb. 19, Ethan Nguyen was found stabbed to death inside the house he shared with his mother in the 2400 block of Frosted Green Lane in northern Plano. His friend, Peter Phuc Hong Tran, 27, was arrested in May and was officially indicted for capital murder on Tuesday.
Police believe Nguyen was killed over a large amount of money. Tran admitted to police that he is addicted to gambling, and said Nguyen had $10,000 with him the day he died, according to a police affidavit. Tran also told police that he had borrowed thousands of dollars from his sister's bank account, money that was earmarked for her college fund. He also told police he borrowed money from Nguyen and other family members to use to support his gambling addiction.
Originally, Tran told police he didn't enter the Nguyen residence once the two men returned, but later changed his story and said he briefly entered the house after shopping. He explained the discrepancy by saying he lied because he didn't want police to think he committed the murder, the affidavit said.
Tran said he was not able to produce the clothes he was wearing on Feb. 19, telling police he threw away the shoes and jeans he was wearing that day. He said one of the shoes became damaged and that he ripped a hole in the seat of his jeans when he was bending over to inspect the damaged shoe. The affidavit states Tran "admitted his explanation sounded convenient."
If convicted, Tran faces life in prison or the death penalty. He is currently being held in the Collin County Jail on a $1 million bond.

I would recommend something 8'-8'6. Assuming you are under 150lb, noseriding will be fine on an 8', although try to get one with a large centre fin (either by itself or with two smaller side fins).

hi fay, i didn't know there was such a difference between epoxy and fibreglass! i can't wait to practice on the longer boards - i've tried the 8'6 recently and as big as it looks, it surprisingly seems on the shorter end when i was on it.

A accident involving a PA-31 Navajo just after takeoff from Dalton Municipal Airport (KDNN) in Dalton, GA on Saturday afternoon fatally injured drag-racer Donald Lee Holbrook, 52, the owner of Holbrook Performance Parts of Chattanooga, TN.
The accident occurred about 1615 EDT Saturday. The Navajo (similar airplane pictured in file photo) had reportedly just departed from Dalton Municipal when it lost power and went down in a wooded area in Whitfield County, GA, about 50 yards from a home near a 10 acre private lake. A post-impact fire consumed the airplane.
The Times Free Press of Chattanooga, TN, reports that the people who first arrived at the accident scene described the airplane in pieces and engulfed in flames with intense heat coming from the fire. One witness who saw the aircraft pass low over a residential neighborhood said that it appeared the right engine was not running, and the left engine was "sputtering." Witness said it appeared that the pilot was attempting to return to the airport at the time of the accident.
Holbrook's company in Chattanooga supplies parts for nitro and alcohol racers, according to the company website.
