WCN quicklink >> Tour Preview Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Stage 4 Starstudded World Cup 2005 Coverage |
Geelong Women's Tour February 22 - 24, 2005 Once the race starts, you will be able to click below to go to Stage results >
Race Overview In a drama reminiscent of 2004, where Kate Bates had TT victory taken from her and given to Kate Mactier after a timing error, the winner of Stage 1 of the Geelong Tour, Kathy Watt has been relegated from first place. Watt was fastest in the TT, but rode a bike with handlebars which were adjusted into an illegally low position for the ride. The complaints bubbled around the start / finish area at Portarlington, until late in the afternoon, the decision was confirmed - after 9 official team complaints had been made. The officials involved also took time to consider the position adopted by Watt in the TT compared to the criterium stage, Stage 2 on the same bike. The rules for the TT required a standard RR bike; the change to the position of the 'bars meant that it did not meet that requirement. So, instead of being separated from race leader, Oenone Wood, after Stage 2 by just 1/100ths of a second, Watt has been relegated to last place in the time trial, which will add at least 2 1/2 minutes to her time. It is a twist of fate that last year, Kate Bates suffered the problem of the timing error in the TT and had to hand her leader's jersey to Kate Mactier. In 2005, Watt's relegation pushed Natalie Bates into the lead going into the second stage, although the decision was not confirmed until afterwards, so she will be recorded with the lead in the race records, but did not wear the jersey.

Long Island Hot Dog Hooker Shows Up To Court For Sentencing With A Sabrett Sign Shoved Down Her Pants
NY Post - Long Island's hot-dog hooker strutted into her court sentencing yesterday in a bikini top with a Sabrett's sign stuffed in her pants — and said she'll soon be back selling her buns in no time. "To all the guys, I'm going to wiggle those wieners," declared Catherine Scalia, 45. "We're going to have fun in the sun!" She said she's scouting a new location in Baldwin — if she can get a permit. "I'll be back out there at some point. I don't see what's wrong with showing what I got. I'm not hurting anybody," she said. Scalia was sentenced to seven days in prison for selling sex out of her hot dog truck — but she was immediately released on time served. Despite pleading guilty to the prostitution rap last month, Scalia maintained that she only offered striptease sessions in her home to hot dog customers and never solicited full-blown sex. "It's a bad time for this to be happening because there are sales on hot dogs and buns right now and there's a lot of business," she complained.
Who do you think would win in a triple threat match between
The Long Island Hot Dog Hooker
or Octomom?
I think Octomom would get devoured in a fuckin heart beat. All she wants to do is rub her clit and make a little bit of money. She completely lacks the killer instinct to win the ring. But the Long Island Hot Dog Hooker vs. New Jersey Tan Mom would be a hell of a battle. Hot Dog Hooker is a beast. Bitch looks like she belongs in Tony Soprano's crew. She looks like she runs about 6'2, 230. If you told me she was a hardened, weathered, veteran member of the mob I'd believe you.
New Jersey Tan Mom looks like a feisty broad. Bitch is like Tupac. Just middle finger to all her haters, Me Against The World mentality. Hot Dog Hooker has the size advantage but Tan Mom has spirit. It could be one of those "Its not the size of the trashy Long Island/New Jersey broad in the fight, but the size of the fight in the trashy Long Island/New Jersey broad" situations. Hot Dog Hooker just wants to sling some bratwurst and give out hand jobs. She goes to jail and comes back and just can't wait to wrap her hands around some more dick. Like its just her routine. Tan Mom, on the other hand, is like a pit bull who's been backed into a corner with all the allegations against her. She's ready to go to war to prove herself.
I know its an upset but I'm taking Jersey Tan Mom to walk out of the ring the winner.

Prescott, Arizona, United States Yes, what they say about Arizona is true, it is a dry heat! It is so much easier to handle a dry heat than the humidity of other areas that it is easy to forget to drink water. Arizona is a beautiful part of our country. You can actually find water and snow skiing not too far away. Camping a bit further north is great. Watch out for snakes. See the sights!!! Grand Canyon, Painted Desert, Petrified Forest and Meteor Crater to name a few. Wild life is great. Good tip? (0)

Aqua America Chairman: Pennsylvania Will Play Key Role In The Nation's Energy And Economic Development
Aqua America, Inc. (NYSE: WTR) Chairman and CEO Nicholas DeBenedictis said today that "Investment in energy infrastructure will enable Pennsylvania to play a key role in the energy and economic development that will assure a vibrant economic future for our country. We live in an energy-rich state and with smart and prudent infrastructure investment, we can assure a healthy economic future that includes, among other things, energy independence and living-wage jobs for residents throughout the Commonwealth."
His remarks were made today at a symposium in Philadelphia that addressed the future economic impact of pension funding and energy development sponsored by Temple University's Center on Regional Politics.
DeBenedictis said, "The Commonwealth has always been a rich source of energy for the world. In the days of William Penn our rich abundance of trees and timber used for building and burning were center stage. Then came coal, with the first commercially mined load of anthracite shipped down the Susquehanna River in the early 1800s. And although not well known, in 1859, the very first US oil well was drilled, not in Texas, not in California - but in Pennsylvania. This is where companies like Pennzoil and Quaker State got their start and their names."
DeBenedictis said today, Pennsylvania and other states have the opportunity to take advantage of the natural gas bounty made possible through new technology for shale drilling. "The natural gas industry will become the biggest economic driver in Pennsylvania since the heydays of coal and steel, and along with it will come a bounty of energy careers and jobs.
"Pennsylvania is literally sitting on massive amounts of natural gas. If managed correctly, we have the opportunity to renew the energy industry in the Commonwealth and provide clean-burning, environmentally friendly fuel that can play a significant role in reducing our nation's dependence on foreign oil," said DeBenedictis, whose company has already made a commitment to turning over much of its vehicle fleet to compressed natural gas (CNG).Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

So my friend has decided that the SIG P250 fullsize is the pistol he wants, but he likes the option of swapping it to the compact for concealed carry. He's concerned about the gun being too fragile with the swapping if he does it often.
Our gun range has the P250 2Sum package for about $715, but he thinks he might be better off getting the fullsize and compact separate.

Several current as well as hopeful Formula 1 tracks made the news these few days, here is a recap:
Bahrain – The organizers rubbished the reports they are planning to stage the GP as a night race in the future. One wonders where these reports came from. Why would they need to run the race in the night with only 2 (or 3? ) hours time difference from most of the European tracks ?
Sepang – The Malaysian organizers however confirmed they are considering night race – Dato Mokhzani Mahatir, chairman of the Sepang circuit:
"We have actually been talking aboug a night race with Bernie Ecclestone since September 2006. Since then he has spoken with Singapore and Melbourne as he'd like to see the F1 broadcast from here in Europe at a more decent hour. Having a race in Asia at night makes sense for that. Singapore and Melbourne are temporary street circuits whereas we are a permanent facility. Putting up lighting systems would allow us to hire the circuit out more."
Melbourne – Here it looks unlikely the night race will happen, although Mark Webber has been quoted saying this to Adelaide's Sunday Mail:
"We should try to make night work. It could be exactly what the event needs — who knows? We should fight to have a night race."
and on Bernie Ecclestone hard line attitude:
"You can't constantly keep having the same toys in the sand pit. He's (Ecclestone) certainly got his head screwed on and he will do what is best for the sport."
In the meantime there has been slight change in the time schedule for the 2008 Australian GP – The race in Melbourne will start at 3:30pm local time.
Silverstone – This is a week old news already… Although the development plans seem to be on the right track, the negotiations over new contract with CVC and Bernie Ecclestone will not be easy. Ecclestone (in his own words) will not hesitate to cut the British GP off the F1 calendar …
St. Petersburg – While slamming Melbourne (and Sydney) and Silverstone, Bernie Ecclestone is on his way to Russia to yet again discuss possible Russian Grand Prix, this time in St. Petersburg.
Algarve – Meanwhile in Portugal … A new F1 style track is nearing completion in the south of the country. The reports say that one team has already booked the facility for testing next January. The ultimate goal however is to return Formula 1 race back to Portugal. The last one was held in Estoril back in 1996 and won by Jacques Villeneuve.
Alcaniz – Amid all the bad publicity Spain received in past week or so, there are reports about another Spanish F1 venue springing up. Barcelona (Montmelo) and Valencia (street track) will host the F1 races this year. The permanent circuits in Valencia and Jerez are popular venues for F1 test. "La Ciudad del Motor de Alcaniz" is to become yet another test facility. It is designed by Hermann Tilke with advice from Pedro de la Rosa and due for completion in 2009.
A1 Ring – The attempts to revive former F1 track in Austria seem to have come to end. The track held its last GP in 2003. It was later bought by Red Bull and set for major redevelopment. The protests from ever present Austrian enviromentalists and failed talks with local authorities lead Dietrich Mateschitz to stop the project aimed at winning back the Austrian GP.
Williams – No, this is not another city but the Williams F1 team … Williams have announced plans to establish a permanent base for its test team in Spain. This is where all the Spanish (and Portuguese) test tracks may come handy .

Belize Recipes – Johnny Cakes
Waking in the morning to the Belizean sunrise, I have to say, is very moving. Our first trip to Belize, we were up early every morning, sipping on coffee and gazing at the sun as it rose over the ocean. The colors and different shades of orange and yellow are energizing. We planned our daily Belize adventures each morning with the sun.
We also looked forward to breakfast each morning. Ms P treated us to simple yet delectable recipes. Each meal she created for us, was made with fresh ingredients and love.
Johnny Cakes, is the next recipe Ms P shared with me. This recipe is served with breakfast, just like Fry Jacks. Johnny Cakes are made fresh each morning. There is nothing like having a freshly baked, warm Johnny Cake with mango jam to start your day!
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F. Place one oven rack on lowest setting and place another oven rack close to the broil element of oven.
- 4 cups, flour
- 6 tsp baking powder, level
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup, shortening, room temperature
- 1/2 cup, margarine, room temperature
- 2 cups, coconut milk (or evaporated milk)
Mix flour, baking powder and salt together.
Add shortening and margarine, cut into flour mixture until it looks crumbly.
Mix in milk and form into a large dough ball.
Cut small pieces of dough and form into balls the size of ping pong or golf balls. Flour counter surface and place balls on flour. Cover with moistened towel and let rise for 25 minutes.
Flatten each ball to ½ inch thick, place on cookie sheet and lightly poke the top of each ball 4 to 5 times with a fork.
The next two steps, you have to pay attention, as the Johnny Cakes can burn easily.
Place cookie sheet on bottom oven rack, bake until the bottoms of the Johnny Cakes are lightly brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Checking frequently.
Put oven to broil and move cakes to top oven rack for 3 to 4 minutes until tops of cakes turn brown. Be vigilant here, as this is the time the Johnny Cakes will burn if left unattended.
Cut in half and make into a breakfast sandwich with your favorite ingredients such as jam and peanut-butter or eggs and bacon!
Remember to add a pinch of love!
TIP: I was taught that when you are making dough, keep the ingredients warm. The warmth helps the dough to rise. If you have a glass top stove, pre-heat the oven and place the dough balls on the floured surface, cover and let rise.The warmth from the oven is perfect!
I am confident that you and your family will enjoy these Johnny Cakes. The coconut milk adds a wonderful hint of the tropics.

8 Responses to Belize Recipes – Johnny Cakes
This is makes so much sense. I never would of thought of it in that way. I am sooooo trying this myself!! Nice one!
Tank you soo much
Thanks for making this recipe available. I am a Belizean who has lived away from home for 30 years now and so crave for tastes of home.
Hi Magdalen,
I came across your post while doing research for a presentation that I'm giving in Belize. It is for those with diabetes, and part of the presentation is addressing nutrition. I was wondering if you have ever tried or know anyone who has tried to substitute some of the ingredients for ingredients with less saturated fat? For example substituting coconut milk with light coconut milk and shortening with margarine (preferably trans fat free). I know that some things are better left untouched, which if that's the case, that's fine too. We can always review moderation and serving sizes in regards to Johnny Cakes.
Thanks in advance if you can answer m question.
I'm Belizean and what I do when I can is make my coconut milk from the actual coconut, which is quite easy to do. I also use fresh coconut oil instead of margarine which, in my opinion, is no different than shortening because both products have to go through some process to assume its texture. Coconut oil solidifies naturally. When I do it this way, I know exactly what is in my johnny cake, and it tastes just like home.
often times, coconut water is used in place of coconut milk, which was used in this case
Thanks for sharing this recipe! Journey Cakes are my favorite Belizean Breakfast!
Nice I'm going to make these today

A quick twitter bot, @bc_l
Posted: July 26, 2010 | Author: hilary | Filed under: blog, projects | Tags: bc, bot, command line, hack, script, twitter, unix | 5 Comments »Several months ago, on a whim inspired by an off-hand comment from Chris, I created a bot to bring the wonders of the Unix bc language to twitter.
bc is a command-line calculator that's fast and has the capacity to do some fairly complex math.
Try it out on the command line:
echo '100 / 10' | bc -l
…Or by sending a direct message to bc_l (if you follow bc_l it will follow you back within a few hours).
I released the code under GPL, and it's available on github: http://github.com/hmason/tweetbc.
John Cook mentions the bot and makes some great observations in his post three surprises with bc.

The perfect home away from home
This unit is in a perfect location to visit family who are living in Studio City. We felt like it was our home not a rental. Fresh flowers, food to bide us over, beautifully appointed, quiet and cozy. The location to shops and cafes is perfect. We parked our car and walked as there is a nice park nearby. We enjoyed the little deck out back and the ability to do our laundry was a real plus. The owner and Helen were responsive and friendly. This is a real value in more than monetary ways. We will be renting it every time we visit our family in the LA area. No more hotel searches! This place is PERFECT.
Wonderful Property!
The apartment was just perfect for myself and my daughter while she was in process of moving locally. Great location-- many restaurants, and stores nearby. The suite was beautifully decorated, had every amenity that a traveller could need. There was plenty of coffee, spices, and other food extras. Fruit and snack basket on arrival was a very nice touch.
Helen, the property manager, was so easy to work with, and very quick to reply. She had a rollaway set up for us when we arrived. When we realized that we needed one more night of lodging, she replied immediately... Very accommodating.
We were very happy to stay in this suite, and my husband and I hope to stay there again when coming into town.
A Beautiful Home
We spent 9 nights here while my brother was recovering from a serious surgery. The home is wonderful, the owner is delightful and Helen was very conscientious. We couldn't have asked for more lovely surroundings and everything is thought out and provided. There was even a welcome basket of fruit, water, and a huge amount of toiletries. The location was also very nice. I can't say enough wonderful things about this lovely home away from home. As someone else had said, it is even more beautiful than in the pictures.

Microsoft launched its cloud computing service, Azure, in southern Brazil yesterday, making the service ready for commercial use.
The firm will now be offering service level agreement to organisations that have subscribed to Azure. Microsoft said that existing customers in the Brazil region will now benefit from increased network redundancy, lower latency and increased durability.
Microsoft does have a data centre in São Paulo, but Azure's georedundant storage was not previously located in the country. The service was instead located in the US South Central region in Texas.
Microsoft's scattering of data centres around the world also acts as a workaround to regional laws protecting the exporting of data.
Microsoft said: "Already, customers such as credit rating company Boa Vista Servicos, business management software provider Totvs, computing systems provider SiplanControl-M and e-commerce website platform Shop Delivery are benefiting from the power of the cloud. Today, we are excited to help our customers in Brazil harness that power so they can transform their businesses."
Microsoft Azure recently expanded its data centre regional operations into both China and Japan, with southern Brazil adding to the ever growing list of Azure's global regions. The others include Asia Pacific East, Asia Pacific Southeast, Japan East, Japan West, Europe North, Europe West, US West, US East, US South Central, US North Central. There are also two new data centres planned for Australia.
Amazon Web Services pushed into South America in 2011 with a data centre being constructed in São Paulo. Earlier this year, it also added a second location in Rio de Janeiro.

My husband and I frequent this place for brunch and bring our dog w/ us in warm weather for the outdoor seating (staff always kindly bring him a dish of water). The food is always great, rarely do we have a dish we do not like, and for about the same price as the greasy diners in the area, My one complaint is that the service can be spotty, especially when they are busy. On several occasions I have witnessed people getting seated, but then waiting 5+ min before they are brought a menu. One couple had to ask for menus 3x's before they finally got it, while other people seated after them got menus right away. For us, sometimes it will take a few requests before we are brought our check. Otherwise, the service is always friendly. We went here for dinner a few times as well and were pleasantly surprised by how good it was. We are leaving the neighborhood soon and will surely miss this place!

One of my best friends just turned 23 over this past weekend and it was a well anticipated birthday so we planned a BIG birthday dinner on the Barking Dog patio to accomodate 18 people. The service was superb. Our waitress was attentive, courteous and professional. There was a bit of a wait before the waitress came back so we could place our orders, but it was worth it; the food was soo yummy and I had enough to take home and have for my lunch the next day! I would definitely go back for any occasion. Definitely a spot to reccomend.

Barking Dog makes you feel like you've stepped outside the city. It's cozy, quaint, and delicious - with reasonable prices for large portions, and a fantastic brunch menu. I would recommend sticking with breakfast items. The banana pecan pancakes and the chocolate cherry pancakes are equally fantastic. Definitely try the stuffed french toast if it's on special. It's the perfect alternative to the greasy diners.

After reading reviews, my wife and I tried this restaurant. Not a good choice. The mac n- cheese was dry and bland. The wings were small and uninspiring. Many other better options in Murray Hill.

I live just up the street from the Barking Dog, and I think this is one of the best places in the neighborhood for a delicious brunch. They have amazing sandwiches and terrific eggs. Everything always tastes incredibly fresh, and the prices are very reasonable. Try it out!

I recently ate dinner at the Barking Dog with 3 friends on a Friday evening. We made reservations for 7:15, thinking it might be crowded, but when we arrived, it was almost empty, and we were seated immediately. Our waiter was attentive, friendly, and fun. The calamari appetizer was delicious, and the Cobb salad was amazing - big and filling enough for a meal. My 3 companions all enjoyed their meals (a chicken sandwich, turkey burger, and hamburger) and the price was very reasonable. Overall, we had a great experience.

I got the patio light thinking it will be good for the patio, boy I was wrong. It doesn't light that good, you have to screwed to the ground. Came with some parts missing paint, I'm not happy at all, I don't think it should be that expensive.

GP concern over Betsi Cadwaladr board's hospital plan
GPs are "nervous" about a shake-up in community hospital services in north Wales, a doctors' leader warns.
But Dr Phillip Banfield said the proposals were the harsh reality of Wales' "health care rationing debate".
Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB) is the first in Wales to outline plans for balancing the books.
Some of the plans under consideration involve the closure of two community hospitals in Flint and Blaenau Ffestiniog.
The health board says it will listen to people's concerns during planned consultation being held over the summer before any decisions are taken.
- The closure of minor injuries units are planned at: Ffestiniog Memorial Hospital (pictured) and community hospitals at Colwyn Bay, Flint, Ruthin, Mold, Chirk and Llangollen.
- Under the plans, X-ray services would no longer be provided from Blaenau Ffestiniog Health Centre, Bryn Beryl Hospital, Tywyn Community Hospital, Eryri Hospital, Ruthin Community Hospital and Mold Community Hospital.
- Replacement of services provided from Rhyl's Royal Alexandra Hospital, and Prestatyn Community Hospital with a new integrated facility.
Two community hospitals could close at Flint and Blaenau Ffestiniog with community hospital beds lost at Llangollen.
Minor injury accident departments may shut at others with the loss of x-ray services under a major health service shake-up in north Wales.
"The GPs are very nervous about what may happen if community beds are restricted," said Dr Banfield, chair of the British Medical Association's Clwyd North division.
"Our colleagues in general practice have raised concerns about the effects of cuts on community services and this is why it is important the public get involved in the consultation process," said Dr Banfield, a consultant obstetrician at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd hospital, Bodelwyddan, Denbighshire.
Health board chief executive Mary Burrows told BBC Radio Wales the changes were about improving patient care and were not solely about costs as any changes will not be brought in until next year whereas the health board's current £65m shortfall was an "in year problem".
She said the biggest problems faced by the organisation were costs due to staff shortages and overheads from building costs.
"If we can reduce our agency costs, particularly on locum doctors, we spend a lot on agency nurses to try to keep a lot of our services going... there is probably somewhere in the region of about £15m we can save there."
She said part of the plan to create 10 hub hospitals switching services from others was to reduce costs because some facilities were only a few miles apart.
And she said the organisation was looking to cast its net wider to find trainees at universities in the north west of England as well as Cardiff.
Dr Banfield said: "We believe that Wales can train its way out of shortages with staff."
A total of 10-weeks of public consultation begins in August.

Duncan Walker Bannatyne, OBE (born 2 February 1949),[1] is a Scottish entrepreneur, philanthropist and author. His business interests include hotels, health clubs, spas, media, TV, stage schools, property and transport. He is most famous for his appearance as a business angel on the BBC programme Dragons' Den. He was appointed an OBE for his contribution to charity.
He has written seven books: Anyone Can Do It, Wake Up and Change Your Life, How to be Smart With Your Money, How to be Smart With Your Time, 43 Mistakes Businesses Make, 37 Questions Everyone in Business Needs to Answer, and Riding The Storm.
In May 2013, it was reported that Bannatyne is £122m in debt, however he says this is a company debt and the company has assets of £230m.[2]
Bannatyne was born in Dalmuir west of Glasgow. His father Bill had served in the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders in World War II and worked on the Burma Railway after being captured by the Japanese following the Fall of Singapore, he then worked in the foundry at the Clydebank Singer plant. As a child Duncan lived in one room with his parents and siblings in a large house shared with 6 other families. He attended Dalmuir Primary School where he displayed a talent for arithmetic and won a place at Clydebank High School after passing the Eleven plus exam. Most pupils owned a bicycle so he resolved to earn the money to buy one for himself. The local newsagent was not interested in employing him so she challenged him to find 100 new customers in return for a paper round. He called her bluff by returning with 100 names, but later reflected that it would have been more entrepreneurial to have sold the list. He only enjoyed PE and woodwork at the High School and left at 15 without any qualifications.[3]
In 1964 after a few weeks working for a local cabinet-maker he joined the Royal Navy, initially enlisting for twelve years as a junior second class engineering mechanic (stoker) at RNTE Shotley near Ipswich, better known as the boys' training establishment HMS Ganges. He served in the Navy for several years including a spell on the aircraft carrier HMS Eagle, before receiving a dishonourable discharge for throwing an officer off a boat landing jetty in Scotland. In his autobiography he claims this was in part a reaction to this officer's abuse of his authority, in part a dare by his shipmates and in part a way of getting out of the Navy, with which he had become disillusioned. Bannatyne was nineteen years old when this happened. After the incident he had to serve nine months in Colchester military detention centre before being discharged aged 20.[3] He later spent ten days in Glasgow's Barlinnie prison for not paying a £10 fine in relation to a charge of breach of the peace and resisting arrest.[4][5]
Bannatyne spent his twenties moving from one job to another. Upon his return to Clydebank he trained as an agricultural vehicle fitter and then travelled around the country repairing tractors. He lived on the island of Jersey for four years from 1974 where he gained an HGV licence and earned a living through several jobs including deckchair attendant, ice cream seller and hospital porter. He also surfed, partied and met his first wife on the island. With Jersey's difficult business climate for outsiders, at age 29 Bannatyne and his wife moved to Stockton-on-Tees in North East England. He has stated that he was penniless and did not have a bank account until the age of 30.[6]
His business career began almost immediately after his move to Stockton-on-Tees with an ice cream van purchased for £450.[7] He soon expanded by buying more vans during the period of the Glasgow Ice Cream Wars about which he made comment in a newspaper interview "I got by using the CB radio. It was mainly bluster, but someone did get hospitalised."[8] He eventually sold the business for £28,000, founding a nursing home business called Quality Care Homes which he then sold for £26 million[7] in 1997 and children's nursery chain Just Learning for £12 million.[9] Just Learning chief executive during the 1992-97 period was Michael Fallon (Sevenoaks Tory MP).[10]
Bannatyne has since expanded into health clubs, with Bannatyne's Health Clubs chain to his name, and also bars, hotels and property. He acquired 26 health clubs from Hilton Hotels in August 2006 at a price of £92 million.[7] Bannatyne's is now the largest independent chain of health clubs in the United Kingdom. In May 2010, he added the Charlton House Hotel and Spa in Somerset to the portfolio, with the view to adding more spa facilities and treatment rooms.[11]
In October 2008, he opened the £12 million "Bannatyne Spa Hotel" in Hastings.[7]
In December 2009, Bannatyne joined the UK's largest monthly business magazine Business Matters as a monthly columnist alongside former Apprentice winner Michelle Dewberry.[12]
His wealth as of 2011 was estimated at £430 million by the Sunday Times Rich List.[13] In 2012, the Sunday Times Rich List listed him as equal 869th with a worth of £85 million. His net worth dropped because of divorce and a drop in property values at his Bannatyne Fitness chain, which made a £16.2 million loss in 2011 after exceptional one off write downs. His wealth as of 2014 was estimated at £175 million by the Sunday Times Rich List.
Bannatyne received his OBE partly in recognition for his work with charities such as Mary's meals.[14] He has funded several projects over a ten-year period in Romania, notably Casa Bannatyne in Târgu-Mureş, a hospice for orphans with HIV and AIDS in which he invested £80,000. In March 2008, he established the Bannatyne Charitable Foundation with a personal injection of £1,000,000.[15]
On 19 May 2008, Bannatyne added his support to the launch of the Geared for Giving Campaign at the House of Commons to encourage UK business leaders to set up and promote a Workplace Giving scheme to benefit UK registered charities with tax effective donations through employees pay. He then helped to promote Clydesdale Bank's and Yorkshire Bank's efforts to promote the programme through ATM (Automated Teller Machine) rolls. "They are really going for it, over 20 per cent of their employees are giving money through this system," Bannatyne says.[16]
On 29 August 2008, Bannatyne appeared on television programme Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, raising £20,000 for charity NCH.
He became President of the charity No Smoking Day in October 2008. The charity runs the annual health awareness campaign – helping people who want to stop smoking.[17]
Bannatyne is a trustee of Comic Relief and on 27 November 2008 he travelled to Ethiopia with other trustees of Comic Relief. On Saturday 29 November they visited Debre Zeit; Bannatyne said "the most significant part of that day for me was when we were shown that people are taught how to sow vegetables so they can grow them in their own homes, in addition to the training programme the project supplies seeds and tools so that they can become self sufficient".[citation needed]
In August 2010, he agreed to become Patron of PC David Rathband's Blue Lamp Foundation, a charity established by the Northumbria Police Constable David Rathband, who was blinded by gunshot wounds in the 2010 Northumbria Police manhunt.[18]
Bannatyne has previously supported the Conservative Party (under Margaret Thatcher), then switched to support the Labour Party under Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. This is evidenced in a 2008 promotional video supporting Brown.[19] In the run-up to the 2010 general election, he reaffirmed his support for Labour and criticised Conservative leader David Cameron as a "plonker".[20]
Appearing on the Question Time panel on 7 February 2008, Bannatyne stated he had been a donor to the Labour Party under Blair. He also voiced his support for Brown, but criticised the Cabinet for what he described as "petty squabbles based on personal ambition".[21] In March 2011, Bannatyne appeared to switch political affiliations again by backing certain measures imposed in George Osborne's budget even though he criticised the government a few months earlier. However he did not state that he had turned his back on the Labour Party.[22]
Bannatyne has four children by his first wife, Gail (m. 1983[23]): Hollie, Abigail, Jennifer, and Eve; and two with his second wife, Joanne (m. 2006): Emily (b. 1999)[24] and Thomas (b. 2002).[25] He has two grandchildren, Ava and Austin, from his eldest daughter.[26]
Bannatyne met Joanne McCue when she worked for him as a junior nurse at Quality Care Homes in 1992. He proposed to her in Barbados in early March 2006, and married her on 11 November 2006 at St Mary's Church in Norton.[27] Celebrities at the wedding ceremony included Anna Ryder Richardson, Cherie Lunghi, Gary McCausland, Dragons' Den presenter Evan Davis and fellow Dragons Theo Paphitis, Richard Farleigh, Simon Woodroffe and Deborah Meaden. Pop star Marc Almond then performed for 200 guests in the warehouse next to his company's head office.
Joanne filed for divorce in 2010, and divorce proceedings finalised in January 2013.[28][29]
Bannatyne owns a house in Wynyard Park, in the northeast of England.[30] He had a holiday villa in Mougins, near Cannes.[31]
Bannatyne was awarded an honorary Doctorate of Science (D.Sc.) by Glasgow Caledonian University on 5 July 2006 for services to business and charity. He was also awarded an honorary Doctorate of Business Administration (DBA) from Teesside University, on 6 February 2009.
Bannatyne celebrated his 60th birthday at Murano's in London with celebrities such as David Coulthard, James Caan, Theo Paphitis and Anna Ryder Richardson. A second party was held in the North East and was headlined by UK soul singer Beverley Knight and featured Chesney Hawkes. The celebration took place in a converted warehouse in Darlington, County Durham.[32][33]
Bannatyne openly discussed having had cosmetic surgery under his eyes on The Graham Norton Show.[34] He had an acting role in the Tyne Tees Television comedy pilot Girl's Club where amongst other actors, he performed alongside the actress Georgia Taylor.[35]
In 2011, Bannatyne announced on Twitter that he suffers from prosopagnosia.[36]
On 1 October 2012, Bannatyne was taken to hospital after reportedly suffering a heart attack.[37]

EUGENE, Ore. – The Eugene and Springfield Water Rescue, Dexter Fire and the Lane County Sheriff's Marine and Search and Rescue Units responded to a water rescue on the Willamette River Saturday.
Police say around 3 p.m. a group of nine people launched their six inflatable watercraft from Elijah Bristow Park. About two miles downstream one of the kayaks with two women in it overturned.
The strong current of the river pulled the two women under debris along the undercut shoreline. Both were entrapped for several minutes before they were able to extricate themselves with the help from other members of the group.
A fire rescue boat transported the women to a location under Jasper Bridge, where they were treated and released with minor scrapes.
Police say everyone was wearing their personal flotation devices.

FRIENDS – Our entire community is saddened by the news of the passing of Professor Edward D. Ohlbaum. Of course whether friend – and he had many – or foe – who knew him to be the most formidable of adversaries — he was known only as Eddie. Our thoughts are with Eddie's wife Karyn Scher and their son Jake.
Our beloved friend and brother served in so many roles, of which I know only a few: senior trial lawyer with the Defender Association of Philadelphia; founding Board Member of the Pennsylvania Innocence Project; Law Professor and Director of Trial Advocacy and Clinical Legal Education at Temple Law School; and at the Support Center for Child Advocates, as Volunteer Child Advocate, Member of our Board of Directors, and Chair of our Child Policy Committee, and consultant on our most challenging ethics and practice questions. Mentor, teacher, advocate, advisor, coach, author. Warm, energetic, unselfish, brilliant, insightful, encouraging, gracious, personal. These are some of the words that come to mind when we think of our friend.
I don't think he shared news of his illness with many. Always about the work, about injustice, about his students, especially about his family and his friends — he was so much like this, as it was never about Eddie. We join in our fond memories of him, with such sadness.
-Frank Cervone, Executive Director of Child Advocates
The family requests that contributions in Eddie's memory be directed toward The Pennsylvania Innocence Project at Temple Law School and the Support Center for Child Advocates
