Orienteering: a dream come true
«There has never been anything like the feeling I had when I won my first World Champion title in 2003 at Rapperswil, Switzerland. That day was a dream come true. But the six other titles that followed also have their own story and their own journey. I fell into orienteering on an orienteering course when I was young. When I was four years old, my father had already put a compass in my hands. Since then, I have found that competing is where I find the necessary adrenaline to push myself. It's all about discovering new places that fascinates me. In 2003, when I achieved my childhood dream of crossing the finish line a winner, I have realized that the reward was not just the medal but the entire road that I had travelled to get there. And because my race was not absolutely perfect, I'm back to work with the sole purpose of finding this utopian perfection. Since then, the only time when I feel truly alive is when I am in the heart of the forest trying to reach my limits.»
My motto: If you dream it, you can do it
«Today, my primary objective is to help people live the dream. Of course, the best way to achieve this is to win races and if possible, the World Championships. But the pleasure I get when I receive an e-mail from a young person who tells me he saw me running and he wants me to become world champion is much greater than the moment when I put the medal around my neck. Unconsciously, there is a certainly a desire to prolong my childhood. I am well aware that these past years have been unexpected. This is not 'real life'. Clearly this is an exceptional chapter with its freedom and carefree lifestyle. I have always been a bit of a loner and I like having full control of my destiny, without putting any blame on others. Since my childhood I have always enjoyed spending time in the woods. What I love more than anything is not knowing what is waiting for me around the next bend. That's the beauty of this activity, that every time I compete there is a new playground and a new experience. There is no point of oversaturation. The hardest thing for me is to overcome the frustration I feel when I fail. Obviously, that has been a key to my success. I believe that if, after a bad performance, I can't fall asleep easily then I will never reach the top. But I'm often too hard on myself. I should try to take it easier on myself. I have relatively little time to devote to other activities but my fishing rod is one of the things that I will never leave behind when I travel. I have never found a better way to relax before a competition.»
My territory
«Scandinavia is the Mecca of orienteering due to the quality and quantity of the terrain. But the area around New York is also worth a side trip. In France, we can't complain either with jewels like the old lava flows around Clermont or the area around Larzac.Each winter, in preparation for the competition season, I spend several weeks in the Larzac area. We can't really say that it's the best tourist spot… but, when I do my night sessions with my headlamp, I feel truly privileged because the contact with nature there is unique. Everything is so quiet and suddenly we come across a sounder of wild boar or some deer, and again the quiet, it's like the feeling of being the only person on Earth.»
My source of inspiration
«In fact, I think it's pretty simple. I am eternally unsatisfied. Whenever I reach a goal I savour the accomplishment for ten seconds and then immediately I am making plans for the next thing. I can't be happy with what I have. As always, we must above all be passionate because the road can sometimes seem long. In addition, we must not be too complacent and always be able to see ourselves as we truly are rather than how others see us. Because the image that you have of me is often too positive and out of touch with reality or with what I see. I think that we cannot succeed in an orienteering race if there is not this constant search for perfection and clearly it's an important part of who I am. What I love more than anything are the benefits of my training, when I discover a new particularly demanding area, when I am alone in my car with the music blasting… These moments are priceless, I am simply happy.
My strength in orienteering racing is transposed on the countryside where the technical difficulty is extreme, where each loss of concentration is penalised by a loss of time. With experience, I have learned to rely on this when it really counts: D-Day, the day of the World Championships. Generally, the people who inspire me most are my opponents against whom I compete. So I will quote Switzerland's Daniel Hubmann, because it was he who pushed me the farthest in my thinking and who forced me to find my limits. So I have great respect for him as well as the other competitors because without them I would not be what I am. I believe in the principle that there is something to be taken from each experience, each conversation. I like to know everyone's story, the challenges he has faced and how he got there. I think that we can avoid a lot of pitfalls when we take inspiration from other people's lives.»
A desire to build something new and to work on something that will last
«It's a bit obvious, I feel close to high-level orienteers who share what I see on a daily basis. I always enjoy welcoming foreign racers to my home and giving them advice. It is also one of the goals I have set for myself before I finish my career: to pass the knowledge that I have accumulated over the past 15 years through meetings, workshops and competitions. Currently I am especially trying to help young people. The door of my classes is always wide open and I'm always happy to have company during my training sessions. I feel that I have a sort of mission. I was one of the first to beat the Scandinavians on their home turf and I have a lot of empathy for the Scandinavian racers who have fewer opportunities to succeed. So it's a priority for me to try to help them. In a few years when I have more time in my sports career I see myself coaching a group of orienteers in Sweden, in an orienteering sports studies course, or train the French team if the French Federation allows me. This is something I would enjoy because if I am successful in identifying those things that make me successful then I can show that some of my beliefs are universal. My ultimate dream would be that orienteering racing becomes more popular and grows beyond the insiders.»
The story of Thierry
«I think the most surreal scene I have ever lived through took place in the relay event at the World Championships in Hungary in 2009. I was leading the race with five kilometres to go alongside a Swede, a Norwegian and a Czech. After so many years of unsuccessful attempts it seemed like victory was in my hands. Then, in a fraction of a second, the scenario changed dramatically. I see the Swede, Martin Johansson, who ran below me and to the side, fall to the ground and start screaming in pain. When I was able to reach him I realised he had a branch, three centimetres in diameter, sticking into his quadriceps. When the Norwegian and Czech runners arrived shortly thereafter, we decided to remove it. I took off my race bib to compress the wound but at this moment I realised the gravity of the situation. When I removed the wooden stick from his thigh it was endless, at least 15 centimetres long… My biggest fear was that this would end in a blood bath. The Swede lost consciousness several times but we managed to carry him up to a nearby road to wait for first aid. The wait was long, but the Norwegian racer who had gone to get the organisers at the finish area finally arrived with medical assistance. The Swede was taken to a local hospital and was racing again a few months later. Along with my Czech and Norwegian counterparts, we finished the race still shaken up by this wild scenario. Our places at the finish, 26th, 27th and 28th, were anecdotal even though we would have all won a medal. Incidents like these are fortunately rare but the memory I have of that day is how, in only an instant, we can find ourselves in an emergency situation. Seconds before my rival fell I was thinking only about the best strategy to beat him. In a fraction of a second I found myself at his side, holding his hand and doing everything I could to keep him conscious.»

Mini Me: Adam Sandler and Sadie
by POPSUGAR Moms 31 Reactions 0 Shares Print
Adam Sandler has had us in stitches since he sang Red Hooded Sweatshirt on Saturday Night Live, but these recent pictures of The Waterboy on the beach in Hawaii with daughter Sadie stole our hearts. And, it seems like Big Daddy is quite the family man with rumors swirling that the 1-year-old may be becoming a big sister. Though nothing has been confirmed, Jackie's belly sure looks like a baby bump. To decide for yourself, click here.
If it's true, we wonder if the next lil one will have as much of the comic's imprint as his current cutie. From their wavy dark hair to their sly smirks, the daddy and daughter are two of a kind.

Can anyone give me some information on what "Grand Theft" is? I noticed one the is extremely close to my house.
on May 2, 2012 at 10:58 am
There were three grand thefts in this log. Because the log we get is only the initial call information, not all grand thefts truly end up being so.
The first occurred on April 22. A woman sold a desk which she believed a ring was inside it. She said the sale did not include the ring and that the buyer did not find a ring inside the desk. The final report is listed as a suspicious circumstance.
The second, which occurred on April 23, has not been written up yet.
The third grand theft was a report by a woman who reported that she is missing some jewelry from her home. She suspects it disappeared when she had workers in her home nine months ago.
Hope this helps.

Good morning,
By the California Penal Code a Grand Theft occurs when property is stolen valued at greater than $950. It is considered theft when the thief does not have to enter a building or break-in to get the property they steal. An example of a grand theft would be if you left a laptop sitting on the front seat of your unlocked car and someone stole it. That would be Grand Theft.
Hope this helps.
Thanks and have a good day.

Two simple questions: how many permits/inspections were required, and what were the tax consequences? Someday a remodel is on my horizon.
on Jan 10, 2013 at 3:23 pm
Last time I remodeled, we got a bill from the tax assesor's office for an increase in property tax only TWO WEEKS after the project was finished!
That was over ten years ago. We are remodeling the kitchen and baths again, but not the exterior this time, and I am dreading the bill already. Last time it was a 30% increase, although according to real estate agents, it did NOT increase the value of our house much at all.
Go figure.

Formal dining market smaller but still vibrant

Yet resources still developing and marketing formal dining say there is still plenty of business to be had, especially among consumers with larger homes that have a dedicated dining area.

GCSE English exams 'downgraded'
2:35am Thursday 23rd August 2012 in National News © Press Association 2014
Concerned teachers have suggested that GCSE English exams were marked too harshly this year after schools reported an unprecedented number of fails among their pupils.
Around 600,000 teenagers in England, Wales and Northern Ireland will be waking up to their GCSE results.
But English teachers who were shown early breakdowns of the marks complained that exam boards had substantially increased grade boundaries, leaving pupils with lower results than expected. It comes amid predictions that the pass rate across all subjects will start to stall.
The Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL) said there seemed to be a particular problem with C/D borderline grades in English, with pupils who were expecting Cs ending up with Ds.
ASCL general secretary Brian Lightman said there was "a lot of concern" among members about the changes to grade boundaries. He said: "We expected results to plateau because of the Government taking steps to peg them to previous levels.
"But we certainly didn't expect anything like this and schools have been taken by surprise. We've got some schools where teachers have been teaching the same course for years and suddenly the results are way below what they've always been before as the pass mark has been moved higher."
Dozens of teachers voiced their concerns about the issue on the Times Educational Supplement's website on Wednesday night. One said that the score out of 80 needed to get a C grade was now a whole 10 marks higher than earlier in the year. He added: "They've not moved the goal posts, they've put them on a different chuffing planet."
Another said: "Our results have been decimated. We're 10% lower than last year. Members of my department are in a state of shock as they say they've never worked harder and this is the result."
An ASCL spokeswoman blamed the Government's "constant tinkering" with the exams system, adding: "They are fiddling and manipulating them all the time which is not fair for the kids who have worked really hard and have been working at a C grade level but now may not have got one after all."
Last year 69.8% of GCSE entries gained at least a C grade, and 23.2% got an A or A* but one expert predicted the pass rate will stall this year.

So how are you finding this Chinese grip guys?
I need to buy one, and if I don't have have to spend big$$$ on an original, I'll be a happy camper.
Is the tripod thread solid?
I need to carry the camera around using a Black Rapid strap, and the security of the tripod mount is important to me as I'd hate to have the camera fall to the ground because the thread on the bottom of the grip fell out!
Don't worry about the built quality..this is as good as 3rd party grips go. The bottom plate and mount are made of metal, not plastic so it's solid.
I've used this for the past 4 shoots i've been on and i too am using a black rapid on it, swinging around running, jumping with it…no issues whatsoever..

Portacaval Shunt
Description: Also called liver shunt or portosystemic shunt, a condition in which the embryonic blood vessel in the liver fails to go away after the puppy or kitten is born. As a result, blood bypasses the liver which means it fails to be processed by the liver which can lead to neurological symptoms. In some cases, the liver shunt is acquired as a secondary condition to other liver issues.
Symptoms: Stunted growth, pacing, seizures, tiredness and lethargy, bladder stones.
Diagnosis:Diagnosed via radiograph or ultrasound of liver; ammonia tolerance test.
Treatment: Surgery is required to treat this condition. It is recommended that the animal's health be very stable prior to surgery, which can be achieved by a healthy diet and proper medications. The success rate is very high.
(See example claim.)

Zumba on an Xbox? Strange as this seems, there was an attendant who did the warm up. However, some of her moves were not professional and could be damaging.
Gym classes too expensive.
No board games
No crafts other than hokey-looking scrapbooking.
No covered walking tracks like on other ships
Sea Side Cafe (buffet)
First of all, the running track was right above the Seaside Cafe. Thump, thump, thump.
Desserts were the same for lunch and dinner and were repeated day after day.
Most of the desserts were cream based--never any plain cake with frosting or even pie.
It appeared breads and desserts were not prepared on the ship like other cruise lines. They looked rather store-bought.
Breakfast never changed--it actually got boring. The orange juice was not good--it tasted like frozen concentrate that hadn't been diluted enough. I think this might have been a method used to encourage cruisers to purchase the fresh squeezed.
Fruit at dinner on the buffet looked like leftovers from lunch.
The dining room was noisy.
Oceanliners restaurant was too dramatic for me. They tried to over accommodate which was uncomfortable after a while.

9 year old Randy loves the outdoors."Ride horses, fishing, a bunch of stuff," Randy said.So he was right at home casting his line in this fishing hole at the Rose of Sharon Ranch.Randy loves to have fun and really loves to be outside hunting, or fishing, or just riding his bike. This third grader says he'd even like to work with horses when he's older.
As for his favorite foods, a slice of pie is on Randy's list."All the pizzas except for the hot pizzas," Randy said.
Randy is diagnosed with ADHD. He can also be a little talkative. A family that will be best for Randy is one that is very patient and adheres strongly to established discipline. Randy says he really wants to be an only child.
"Mom and dad only," Randy said.A family that has experience in caring for children who have been through intense abuse and neglect will be the best for Randy.
As for three things randy can't live without, "riding horse, going fishing and eating pizza," Randy said.Are you seeing a pattern here?
But most importantly, Randy says he wants and needs a family to show him the Gift of Love.

The Ecstasy was late arriving form New Orleans because of high winds and waves rounding the Cape of Florida. Carnival did keep me updated with calls and we new to arrive at the port at about 3:30. The major problems with embarkation was that the terminal was switched from Carnivals normal terminal 5 to a little used old gambling boat dock at terminal 3. This was the ports fault and not Carnivals.
We used the new park 'n Cruise for parking and it was great. We were directed to an area south of our terminal to unload our luggage. It was in the middle of a parking lot. We were then dropped off at seldom used south cargo ports terminal 4 to wait for our ship to come in.
The Ecstasy came in at 5:30. we waited for the pax at terminal 3 to board then we were transported to terminal 3 where we stood in line for about 1.5 hours. We finally boarded at 7:30 and everything after that was great.
They opened all the eating venues for us and had open seating in both dining rooms until everyone was served.
The ship is wonderful for her age. I love the Fantasy class ships and have been on the Inspiration and Fantasy. This ship was well cared for, clean, and had a fantastically friendly and hard working staff. I am diabetic and our cabin steward keep m cooler full of ice for my insulin and gave me a Sharps Contianer.
We enjoyed the main dining room, buffet, Punchline Comedy Club, casino, and some shows. All the entertainment was very good! Half Moon Cay was wonderful. We went on the Stingray snorkel there and it was great. Great food on the island and plenty of chairs to lay out on. Walked a lot!
Our ports were good and debarkation was fine.
Great trip, Great ship. . . great Carnival! Port Canaveral is lucky to have you, just fix the embarkation terminal to the west end.

Colts second-year LBs Pat Angerer and Kavell Conner are getting a lot of attention for their play in recent weeks — and with good reason. In Week Three against the Steelers, Angerer was a one-man wrecking crew, piling up an eye-popping 20 tackles. Not to be outdone, in Week Four against the Buccaneers, Conner recorded 18 tackles. We hear the future appears bright for this young tandem, and although they have a long way to go before their coverage skills catch up to their tackling, they have made a strong impact on the Colts' improved run defense. SLB Philip Wheeler, once again a starter following the season-ending injury to Gary Brackett, also has made strides. Wheeler was demoted last season because of his inconsistent play, but he has played with more discipline since returning to the starting lineup. Always a lethal hitter, Wheeler has done a better job of wrapping up and finishing plays.

Fendi 2Jours Cut Velvet Bag, $3690 via Neiman Marcus
Love them all of them. They are not simple bags (they are simple but perfect in their simplicity) they are art works. I must say that in s not so far past, Fendi was a litttle popular in a sense of "vulgar" (common, gross. We in Milan never wore it, it was for "the rich vulgar roman ladies"), but now is flying up and up and up in the sky reaching heights with the best bag-designers (Celine, Chloé, Prada, Givenchy etc.). My compliments
I am more interested in the basic leather version, maybe the "honey" color. I just cannot decide….I know where to purchase it but I have not yet. I have a Gucci "brocade stirrup hobo" that may be something I want more….just cannot decide and I can only have one of the them.
Hey, why not get get this instead? Is is much more interesting than the Gucci! Plus, it may just be the next It Bag…and prices will go up if it is!
I like the shape and designs.
I love the last one, the Astrakhan bag, pure elegance, pure luxury!
Lawrence gave me a choice btwn this bag (black with JB monogram) or trip to Jamaica for friend's wedding in December. I chose the trip. Am I a fool? Don't answer that.
the black & white calf skin version gave me a bagasm! In lust.

Update: Gallatin County judge declares mistrial in stabbing case
Updated On: Mar 08 2013 06:25:38 PM MST
After speaking with prosecutors, defense and the jury, Judge John Brown declared a mistrial in the case of Mark Paul Logan, accused of stabbing another man outside of a Gallatin County bar in 2011.
Jurors were unable to reach a verdict Friday afternoon, after two days of deliberations.
Brown tells NBC Montana he had to release two jurors Friday morning, for doing outside research.
Brown tells us one of the jurors was the foreman. Two alternate jurors joined the group but Brown says the jury basically started from scratch.
One of the jury's first orders of business was submitting six questions to the judge. Brown says he was unable to answer the questions and referred jurors to their instructions.
The jury spent all afternoon and evening, Thursday, in closed-door deliberations.
We spoke to defense attorneys after the judge dismissed the jury.
They tell us they're not too surprised since the jury had already deliberated for over eight hours, Thursday.
Defense counselors tell me it's unfortunate their client Mark Paul Logan has been in jail as long as he has and say, due to his financial situation he'll likely remain in jail until the state decides whether to try Logan again.
"I would like to see this case dismissed in the interest of justice because, as I said, after approximately 14 hours of deliberation, the jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict, which to me, tells me the state did not meet its burden of proving every element of the offense beyond a reasonable doubt," says Assistant Public Defender Eric Brewer.
We reached out to prosecutors but didn't hear back from them by news time.
The alleged incident happened back in 2011.
Witnesses say a wedding party was at a Gallatin Gateway bar celebrating, when an altercation broke out between them and another group.
That's when prosecutors say Mark Paul Logan pulled out a hunting knife and stabbed one of the men in the wedding party six times then fled.
Logan has a previous conviction for second degree manslaughter for stabbing a co-worker to death in Kentucky in 1998.
Logan's next hearing is set for the beginning of April.

FOX 5 has learned that Atlanta Public Schools inaccurately listed bus departure times before 6 a.m. on its website.School officials answered complaints from parents on Thursday after its website falsely reported buses arriving as early as 5:45 a.m."There was an error on our website, which I think has caused a lot of the confusion and the angst and we understand that," said Steve Smith of Atlanta Public Schools. The average pick-up time for most grade school students is around 6:25 a.m. (CLICK HERE FOR SPECIFIC INFORMATION FROM APS)
Officials have consolidated bus routes to be more efficient and save money. The plan calls for 50 fewer buses. At the grade school level, the children will arrive at their schools about 45 minutes before the 8 a.m. bell. "When those students are dropped off, they will have the ability to come into a very highly supervised facility, have a hot breakfast, move from there to their classroom," Smith said.Open houses will be held at every APS school system-wide on Monday. Parents can get bus route and other information needed for the start of school. Click here for the FOX 5 Back to School section!

Talks over Temple Cowley Pools closure (From thisisoxfordshire)
When It Happens Panel Get involved: send your photos, videos, news & views by texting 'OXFORD NEWS' to 80360 or email
Talks over Temple Cowley Pools closure
8:30am Monday 14th April 2014 in News
THE decision to close Temple Cowley Pools will be discussed today.
Campaigners have submitted a petition to Oxford City Council asking it to work with them to keep the facilites in Temple Road open.
Under the council's constitution, petitions with more than 1,500 signatures must be debated by full council.
Nigel Gibson's petition, which has 1,587 signatures, reads: "We the undersigned strongly oppose Oxford City Council's plan to demolish Temple Cowley Pools and Fitness Centre in order to sell publicly owned land for housing.
"We believe this is a short-sighted, destructive policy which will have detrimental effects on health and well-being, particularly of the most vulnerable people who use the centre to maintain their health and quality of life."
The city council has said it has to close Temple Cowley Pools because it is too expensive to keep running it and it is no longer fit for purpose.
It has designated the pool as a community asset which means campaigners have an opportunity to purchase the facility in the next six months.
The meeting of the council will take place in the town hall in St Aldate's tonight at 5pm.

Andrew:Oxford says...
Although one of the bidders, who are planning on building apartments on the site, submitting a petition condemning apartments being built on the site is probably one of the most bizarre conflicts and a bit of a talking point...
I use mirror resources for checking Companies House data, so they may be a week or so out-of-date, but as far as I can see, none of the leading protestors at SaveTCP have registered as a director of a property/leisure Newco in recent weeks. For anyone genuinely planning on being involved in a multi-million pound property development - creating a vehicle to do so would be a good start to the venture...

Great that our Oxford Andrew has so much time on his (her?) hands that they want to track what the Campaign is doing. But if you were that good at it you would know what the Council's obligations are under the Localism Act for a Right to Bid, and would then know exactly what is happening at the moment.

Andrew:Oxford says...
SaveTCP wrote:You clearly have backing for "SaveTCP NewCo" - the 30 or so new apartments you are planning for the site will be much welcomed by people seeking a home in the area.
Trolls abounding again. All the signatures on this petition, like those on the six preceding ones, are from members of the public who want health and fitness facilities kept where people want and need them, at Temple Cowley.

But if you were that good at it you would know what the Council's obligations are under the Localism Act for a Right to Bid, and would then know exactly what is happening at the moment.
There are two sides to this purchase though, the councils obligations are clear, I'm more interested in what SaveTCP (Newco) are doing - but for some reason you're not keen on a dual/balanced focus between the groups.
SaveTCP have often condemned the use of a charity vehicle to operate leisure facilities in Oxford, so clearly they are unlikely to go down this route themselves - so a Limited Company will be the most likely route...
There are clearly other stakeholders who will be interested, particularly the current staff. SaveTCP (NewCo) have yet to publish their intentions in this regard. Will it be your intention to TUPE the staff over, what will happen to their pensions?
I note that the placard raised by Nigel Gibson repeats the regular legacy SaveTCP lie about the local authority closing Oxfordshire's only diving pool. Just in case Nigel had forgotten (again). There is a lovely diving pool within a short cycle of the OX1 postcode area. It's open to the public and a quick google search will help anyone in Oxfordshire who is interested in diving get lessons.
As to gender, it's not the first time SaveTCP have questioned what mine is. So here is a question or two that SaveTCP may wish to avoid answering...
Does legacy SaveTCP / "SaveTCP Newco" place a great deal of importance on the gender of the people they interact with? If so, which one is their preference?
It'll probably be helpful to anyone who might apply to work for you or tender for your business if they know their application may fall at the first hurdle.
Personally, it is of no interest to me what the past or current gender of a colleague or any professional that I engage with is.

SaveTCP says...
As to lies - nope, not the Campaign. The diving pool at Temple Cowley Pools and Fitness Centre is the ONLY publicly funded diving pool in Oxfordshire.
As to the current staff, well the Campaign is bidding to take over a site and centre, not the current service. Mind you, that is another bright idea you've given us Andrew, thanks! Fusion, are able to get rid of 30 employees by closing Temple Cowley Pools and also the existing Blackbird Leys Pool, and increase their profits (sorry, surplus, as they are registered as a 'charity' with non-profit status).
Condemning charities? Only when they are used as a tissue covering an otherwise commercial organisation using the status as a tax dodge - which Fusion are. A charity organisation taking over TCP would have clearly stated and justified charitable aims - like keeping health and fitness services for the Oxford public that want and need them, where they want and need them.

Niko Bellic says...
Which brings me to point out that TCP is operating at a loss. How exactly the pressure group would be able to fund the centre I have no idea. I'd love to see a business plan for the place. Genuinely I would.
And finally, please don't confuse the term "trolling" with "commenting". Not every adverse comment is a troll. Perhaps if you learnt to respond to criticism there would be less of it levelled at you in the first place

It would be really good to hear from someone who actually knows something about the centre, and you clearly know something, but based on your post, we're not sure what. And....we operate on facts:
1. The 'diving pit' has been out of use for diving as you say, since the Council drained it too fast and a crack in the tiling appeared. It could be fixed for £30,000 (Council's own estimate, revealed under FOI, confirmed by several diving pool contractors), but the council is (a) unwilling to increase the popularity of TCP and (b) unwilling to pay the additional rate needed for staff to supervise it. How do you know whether or not we would have enough money to pay the staff? Any plan we put forward will be financially viable, or it won't be put forward.
2. TCP operating at a loss - really? Whose loss is that? The Council has signed away the profits to Fusion, who take all the income, and in addition they pay Fusion £360,000 a year to run it - this is more than Fusion is paid to operate all the other leisure facilities. This amount has been artificially carved out of the total Fusion contract cost to make it look like TCP costs more than it actually does. The actual 'cost' comprised last year :£85,000 maintenance, £100,000 water charges, £150,000 utilities, total £335k. If you'd really like to talk about how the centre could operate if properly run, then come to a meeting - we hold them every Sunday, 7pm.
3. It would be very odd if none of the staff at the pool support this campaign, so it's a very good job indeed that it is not at all odd. Suggest you talk to ALL the staff - but perhaps they feel intimidated to reveal their true feelings to a homicidal game character? You are welcome to your 'facts', the Campaign uses facts which come mostly from the Council. As ever, happy to correct anything that we get wrong.
4. The Campaign is not just two people - if it was, there wouldn't have been over 12,000 signatures on the very first petition, or a total of seven petitions submitted to council so far. Don't limit who you are addressing - we don't want people to feel left out.

There really is no need to put "diving pit" in quotation marks, its not meant as a slur, that's really what its called. Anyhow, I'll do my best to respond to your points... and indeed I am in the know. In fact I'll waive the usual fee that I would charge just to make the following comments. Lucky you, this doesn't happen often!
1) The pit needs draining, and as the whole system is quite old and convoluted it would involve draining all 3 pools to do this. Why this is the case I'm not sure, but this is how the plant room is structured. The water cost of backwashing the pools is fairly considerable (the process to clean the filters and therefore the pool water) and this only accounts for perhaps 4-5 inches of water from each pool. The diving pit is 3.8m deep. Then the heating cost of brining the water up from mains water temperature to the operating level of around 28.5c is once again, considerable. I'm sure the actual structural works on this pool could be completed for £30k, but I do not believe that this cost covers the utilities cost required to get the pool back in action again. On top of this, due to the years of neglect, the ladders and boards would be best off being replaced. I'm sure there would be some sort of funding for this in grant form, but then again if you spend money from a grant there, its not available for something else.
In relation to the cost of hiring a new member of staff (assuming that you can recruit someone with the relevant qualifications in place: NPLQ, FAAW) the cost is £8.12 an hour. Fusion Lifestyle are not happy about this rate, but this is mandated by OCC as part of their "living wage". FL would much rather pay national minimum. On a full days operation the TCP can require 3 lifeguards on the main pool (less than this with certain numbers of bathers would require the pool to partly shut) a further lifeguard on the learner pool, and then a with the diving pit in operation another lifeguard (but only one who holds a qualification to work at depths of up to 3.8m. This is an important point. Not all lifeguards can do this. Try swimming to this depth and the pressure is considerable, many lifeguards, wherever they work will only be qualified to work at depths of up to 2m. For the time being lets assume that all staff can work at this depth (although lots of TCP staff actually cannot). Lifeguards are not recommended to supervise a swimming pool for more than an hour, otherwise they risk losing concentration, the heat and humidity (again from neglect to the air handling system at TCP) adds dehydration to the mix. You'd need an additional 2 members of staff. 7 staff at £8.12 (assuming they are all new and haven't had any incremental pay increases - old OCC staff at TCP earn more) that adds up. Its too late for me to do the maths right now.. The diving pit adds two staff to the current structure. At present, managers and gym instructors end up covering due to staff shortage due to FL's insistence on only using the minimum staffing level required and not permitting recruitment. If someone calls in sick, or if the weather is nice and the casual staff simply don't want to work, the place has to restrict entry.
2) Yes - a loss (not taking into account the management fee). The two centres managed by FL which make an operating profit are Ferry Leisure Centre (hugely popular) and Oxford Ice Rink (hugely popular and quite pricey). BBL leisure centre makes a oscillates between profit and loss. These profit making centres cover the losses by the others. The last numbers I saw showed that Hinkey Pool for example, was being subsidised by nearly £15 per visit(!) by OCC. Fusion like to massage their figures so as not to lose their subsidy (they get penalties if conditions are not met).
My line of work means I am in a position to know how to effectively operate facilities of this nature, keeping it going as it is is simply not sustainable from any perspective. To simply refurbish the building would be throwing money away. Knocking down and rebuilding the place to modern standards would be most people's preference and could build an efficient centre, maybe with better parking! Perhaps you could attract an investor to purchase the centre and make a start on that. Perhaps Bannatyes? Don't ask any of the "charitable trusts" as there is nothing charitable in them.
3) I have spoken to ALL the staff. There was one member of staff who didn't want the place to close but retired a couple of years ago. Others are eager to move to centres that haven't been neglected for years, and who could blame them? Why work somewhere that is making people ill (maybe a freedom of information act request can illustrate the long term sickness at TCP?). The older OCC staff still remaining just want to know when its all going to happen so they can claim a handsome redundancy pay out as stipulated by their iron clad contracts that the council used to hand out.
Perhaps being questioned by a "homicidal game character" would be intimidating. Actually I'm flattered that you most likely googled the name to find out what my secret identity might be. Maybe I'm Ian Brooke, or perhaps Steve Holt. In a rather surprising twist, perhaps I'm an alter ego of Nigel Gibson or Jane Alexander. Wouldn't that be funny! Thankfully in the real world, homicidal game characters aren't prone to questioning staff in the leisure industry about their job security.
4) Yes I've only mentioned two names, but those are the names of the most vocal members of the group. It would take me too long to list the other 11,998 reported members.
I hope this has addressed some of the points you bring up. I'd be happy to contribute to any potential plan in some sort of consultancy role (I would charge - you can take the above advice for free!) and please believe me when I say that I am not simply being negative about the SaveTCP stance, I am simply being honest as an outsider with an insider view.

Thanks for actually contributing - it always helps to add information.
1. Diving pit - an excellent analysis if we may say so. The convolution is down to the design. All three pools are linked - warmest water in learner pool, then diving, then main. The returned water heat exchanges with fresh to reduce cost of heating. The diving pool was drained for a period several years ago, and the council could have fixed things then but decided not to, for reasons mentioned previously. Also agree on renewing diving boards etc - total cost is about £65k (Council's own figure). As to employment, if it's not outsourced by the Council, anyone operating the centre can pay whatever the going rate is. Don't doubt the numbers, we recognise that staff need more qualifications/train
ing to cover diving.
2. I think it depends what you mean by 'loss'. The Council has refused to explain what they mean by 'subsidy'. No reason to doubt what you say about profitability, especially with the huge golden hello payments made to Fusion by the Council. If they would be open and transparent about these costs that would help everybody. The plans for the pools include increased efficiency, building on the low unit energy emissions we know it can achieve, and the high footfall that it can also achieve
3. Good for you - clearly you can only be Tim Sadler :-)
4. If you can name 11,998 other petition signatories that would be truly remarkable, and narrow you down to Tim and only a few others
The Campaign exists for the community, so all information welcome and thank your again for contributing. Not sure any of it is at odds with what information we have. And we are not operating for private profit, so don't expect you to either!

You need to restore some normalcy to a baseball game?
Don't call Alberto Alburquerque.
With Justin Verlander pitching, Pablo Sandoval hit a home run in the first inning, and another in the third.
Verlander was out of the game after four innings. Alburquerque was in. Sandoval came up again in the fifth. He'd never hit three home runs in any game. Only three men in major-league history had ever hit three home runs in one World Series game. Pablo Sandoval hit only seven home runs at AT&T Park all season.
Take your statistics and shove it. Game 1 of the 2012 World Series belongs to Panda ...
Alburquerque didn't have any problems with the other three Giants he faced in the fifth. Which doesn't do the Tigers any good, because they're now trailing 6-0 in a game that everybody thought were supposed to win. And it's suddenly looking like the Giants will never lose another baseball game. At least not this year.
Anyway, it's now 6-0 in the sixth inning. This is crazy.

On Saturday, September 15, 2012 the Florida International University Health Law and Policy Clinic staff attorney, Natalie Castellanos, participated in the National Council of Negro Women's National Health Care Reform Tour.
Castellanos graduated from FIU College of Law in 2011, where she was active as president of the International Law Students Association and worked at the Carlos A. Costa Immigration and International Human Rights Legal Clinic.
The two-part event – a health fair and a health care reform information session – was held at Florida Memorial University in Miami Gardens. Castellanos was one of six panelists who participated in the information session, discussing health care reform and its effect on the FIU Health Law Clinic's clients to an audience of seventy. Joining Castellanos onstage was one of the clinic's clients, Maritza Hernandez, who courageously shared her personal story of attempting to access health care after she lost her full-time job as a nurse, had no health insurance, and was diagnosed with a degenerative spinal disease.

THOMASVILLE, GA (WALB) - A federal task force is now leading the search for a Thomas County Prison escapee.
The Southeast Fugitive Regional Task force is trying to locate 38-year old Jerry Darrin Ross.
Ross walked off a work detail on Pavo and Airport Roads on September 25th.
Police suspect Ross stole a bucket truck in Thomas County soon after the escape.
But the task force will not release any other details about the search.
"I can just tell you we are actively following up on leads and developing intel on him in an attempt to get him back into custody," said Investigator Jeff Wessel.
Ross is from Irwin County and was serving time for a burglary conviction.
When captured, Ross faces up to 10 years in prison for the escape and another 15 for the stolen vehicle.

Beaded Hair Ornaments
Children will love the butterflies and flowers that adorn these hair accessories.
Get MoreSubscribe to Martha Stewart Living
Step 1
To make flowers: Cut a 12-inch length of 28-gauge nickel wire. Thread 20 size 11 seed beads (available at craft stores) onto middle of wire, then bend wire and twist it one rotation, using flat-nose pliers to isolate the petal. Thread 20 more beads, and twist again. Repeat until you have five petals. Thread one size 6 seed bead onto one of the two remaining ends of wire. Twist petals around bead, and thread wire through petals to secure. Use remaining wire to attach the flower to the curve of a bobby pin. Trim excess wire.
Step 2
To make butterflies: Using the same technique, create four "wings," making sure two are larger (40 beads instead of 25). For the body, crimp one end of an 8-inch piece of wire with round-nose pliers, and thread on 25 size 11 seed beads. Bend back three or four beads at uncrimped end to make the head, wrapping wire around head between beads to secure, and trim. Attach body to wings by wrapping a separate 5-inch piece of wire around middle of wings. Trim. Attach the butterfly to a bobby pin, using the technique above, or to a headband. For a headband, glue ribbon or seam binding to one end of a metal or plastic headband. Wrap ribbon around the band as shown, overlapping as you go. Add butterfly, twisting excess wire around band; use ribbon to hide wire. Glue ribbon in place at the end.

easy hairdo: Just section 2 sections of hair on each side and one big one in the back. Twist the side hair (in upward direction),fasten in back. then take the back section of hair and twist loosely and secure in back over (covering) the side section pins that are secured there. If you do it all NOT too tightly, it will give a nice tossled natural look. Good luck!!

This is such a great craft!!!! It is so simple and very easy to tweak. I have experimented with this to make many different sizes of flowers and butterflies. I have also used this technique to make green clovers for St. Patrick's day. These look elegant and make excellent birthday gifts as well.

Jim Pyburn, a two-sport athlete for the Auburn Tigers who later served as a defensive assistant coach for the Georgia Bulldogs under Vince Dooley from 1964 to 1979, passed away Saturday at age 78. Pyburn played baseball and football on the Plains, parlaying his SEC-leading .432 batting average in 1953 into a three-year career with the Baltimore Orioles. Pyburn's son, Jeff, played quarterback for the Red and Black in the late 1970s, bridging the gap between Ray Goff and Buck Belue. Our sympathies go out to the Pyburn family. Go 'Dawgs!
