Bringing life to Amsterdam's docks
Trinidadian artist Wendell McShine took us on a journey through his creative process. As the beautiful Amsterdam afternoon shed light on the 'darker' side of his work, we got a glimpse inside the working mind of a contemporary sculptor and artist.
Wendell, who currently lives in Mexico City, took on the industrial setting of NDSM Werf in Amsterdam. He painted in a dock amongst the abandoned trams that rust by the dock's edge. He finds inspiration in the environment that surrounds him and said the setting was the perfect place to find his 'inner me'.
For Wendell, adidas Originals means freedom to share and express someone's creativity. Let's not hold back any longer…

Hopkinsville Historian Recounts Black Patch Tobacco Wars
By Kate Lochte
The black patch tobacco wars of the early 20th century pitted farmer against farmer as a group of men sworn to secrecy used destructive tactics to coerce collective action. Hopkinsville's Pennyroyal Area Museum commemorates the war with several activities starting Friday (September 21). Official Historian for Hopkinsville and Christian County William T. Turner recounts the story of the Tobacco War in conversation with Kate Lochte.
For more information about the multiple events of Hopkinsville's Tobacco War Pilgrimage September 21 through 23rd, call the Pennyroyal Area Museum at 270-887-4270 or visit tobaccowarpilgrimage.com.

This "Vollkornbrot" is a true German rye bread recipe, but unfamiliar to most nonnatives. Often called the archetype of rye bread, this recipe produces a dense, moist sourdough which is eaten in thin slices. Start this rye bread recipe the day before you bake. It does not require "Altus" (old bread) so it is an easy bread to start with.
Adapted from Hamelman's "Bread" book.
Prep Time: 35 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour, 15 minutes
Overnight fermentation: 16 hours
Total Time: 17 hours, 50 minutes
Yield: 1 five pound loaf
- ***Sourdough Sponge***
- 2 2/3 c. (370 g.) whole rye or pumpernickel flour
- 1 1/2 c. (370 g.) chlorine-free water (bottled is good)
- 2 T. (about 20 g.) sourdough starter
- ***Soaker***
- 2 1/4 c. (283 g.) cracked rye berries
- 1 1/4 c. (283 g.) water
- ***Final Dough***
- All of the sponge
- All of the soaker
- 1 3/4 c. (243 g.) whole rye or pumpernickel flour
- 2-3 T. (30 g.) water - variable
- 1 T. (17 g.) salt
- 6 T. (56 g.) sunflower seeds
- 1 3/4 tsp. (6 g.) instant yeast
Notes on this recipe:
I would always say that "Vollkornbrot" is an acquired taste and you should be aware of what you are getting yourself into. It is a lot like the cocktail pumpernickel you buy at the store, except it is 100% whole rye and denser than store-bought.
You sometimes find partial loaves of "Vollkornbrot" imported from Germany and wrapped in cellophane in the store where they cost about $3.00 a pound. This recipe makes a 5 pound loaf, so if you like dense rye bread, it is worth it to make it at home.
You will need a sourdough starter to make this bread. German bakeries would specifically use a rye sour, but after doing the research, I find that a white flour starter will do fine, at least at first. Yeast is added to this loaf, so the sourdough is mostly there for flavor. For more on sourdough starter, see this article.
As an added bonus, rye flour has been shown to control blood sugar levels better than whole wheat flour.
Make the Sourdough and Soaker
Stir together the whole rye flour, water and sourdough starter until all the flour is hydrated. The starter can be from the refrigerator if you renew it weekly. Otherwise, feed the starter once, which adds about 12 hours to the project. Also, use water which is chlorine-free or let water stand at room temperature for a day before using because the sourdough grows better with dechlorinated water.
Stir the cracked rye and water together in a separate bowl. If you can only find whole rye berries, place them in a blender or coffee grinder for 30 seconds. It does not do a great job at cracking them, but it helps.
Cover both bowls and leave at room temperature for 16 to 18 hours. Room temperature is assumed to be 75°F. If your room is colder, you might want to let them soak/ferment longer. The sourdough will smell strong but not rise and the berries should have soaked up all the water.
Final Bread Dough
Add all the rest of the ingredients, including soaker and sponge to a bowl and mix on low or by hand for about 10 minutes. Let the dough sit for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a floured board.
Form into a loaf and place in a well-buttered and floured Pullman or tea cake form. The dough is very sticky and you can't really see any gluten strands, but it is correct.
Flour the top of the loaf, cover with plastic wrap and let rise at 85°F for an hour. Surprisingly, the loaf will rise a bit. I like to keep it in the microwave which is over the stove. If you turn on the 25 watt light that lights the stove, it warms the interior of the microwave to about 85°F. Just do not turn on the microwave.
Bake the Bread
Preheat the oven for an hour to 480°F with a baking stone, if you have one.
Place the bread (still in the form) directly on the baking stone and bake with steam for 15 minutes and dry for about 45 minutes to an hour. In the last 15 minutes, carefully remove the bread from the form and place it back in the oven, to dry out the sides of the loaf.
Let the "Vollkornbrot" cool, wrap in cloth and let it age for 24 hours or longer before slicing. Slice 1/4 inch thick or thinner. You can also wrap and freeze. Freezing in sections is good for small households.

The Gold Line Construction Authority announced Friday that it has settled several lawsuits through a $24 million agreement to acquire land for the coming Foothill Extension from a local property owner who had repeatedly sued the transporation agency.
The deal allows the GLCA to move forward with the Foothill Extension, giving the agency control of more than 50 percent of the land it needs for a Monrovia maintenance yard project critical to the extension's progress.
Local property owner George Brokate of Excalibur Property Holdings in an effort to prevent his land on Evergreen Avenue from being condemned for the project. The GLCA initiated eminent domain proceedings against him, but those will no longer be necessary because of the agreement.
Doug Tessitor, chairman of the GLCA Board, said in a written statement that the deal was needed to avoid further litgation.
"Over the last year, Excalibur has instigated a series of lawsuits against the Construction Authority and continued to threaten more," Tessitor wrote. "Although we feel confident that we would have prevailed on the legal issues over time, the delay caused by the legal process and the uncertainties related to continuing through eminent domain were very risky, making this settlement the best decision for the Authority and our partner Metro."
Robert Silverstein, an attorney for Brokate, could not immediately be reached for comment.

The origins of Epoisses (ay-PWAHSS) can be found at the Abbaye de Citeaux where monks first produced this remarkable and complicated cheese. The cheese has a powerful rich flavor with a pungent smell, with a fine textured and mouth-watering taste of sweet, salty and creamy milk flavors. In order to develop the characteristic dark orange rind, Epoisses is washed with brine for several weeks, then finished with wine or brandy. This washing deepens the flavors of the cheese and guarantees a spoonable, silky paste

NMS Properties, Inc.—which owns about 15 apartment complexes in Santa Monica—is throwing money into this year's City Council race, upwards of $100,000 as of the end of September.
The new committee, Santa Monicans for a United Future, has so far spent $76,100 conducting polls, printing campaign mailers and paying consultants to advocate for the election of four candidates vying for four seats Nov. 6. They are incumbents Gleam Davis and Terry O'Day and challengers Shari Davis and Ted Winterer.
It's funded with contributions from NMS itself and handfuls of limited liability corporations affiliated with it, such as 501 Broadway NMS, LLC, according to a Fair Political Practices Commission campaign finance disclosure statement filed Monday with the Santa Monica City Clerk's office. (The file is attached to the right of this article).
Additionally, according to the committee's filing, there are three limited liability corporations contributing to the committee that not identified as having affiliations with NMS: Century West Partners, LLC; Ideal Properties, LLC; and Roberts Business Park—SM, LLC.
Collectively, all of the companies donated $175,000 to the committee between Jan. 1 and Sept. 31.
By about $5,000, it has so far outspent one of Santa Monica's most influential political committees, Santa Monicans for Renters' Rights.
Democratic Club Picks Its City Council Candidate
NMS is a Los Angeles-based real estate development and property management company. In Santa Monica, it typically builds modern complexes, some of which are income-constricted. Four of its 20 projects—including 97 junior one-bedrooms and studios at 1447 Lincoln Blvd. and 50 apartments and penthouses at 1420 Fifth St.—are currently under construction, according a review of its website.
The city's Planning Department did not return a message Monday seeking information about any NMS projects that might be in the pipeline.
Santa Monicans United for a Responsible Future mailed fliers this week emphasizing the incumbents' records on keeping affordable housing a priority, creating jobs in Santa Monica and supporting public safety employees," the Santa Monica LookOut reported Monday.
"The flyer also said that curbing traffic and funding of schools would be among the incumbents' goals," the LookOut article states.
It was also impressed with Planning Commissioner Ted Winterer for "preserving Santa Monica's beach town character and scale" and Shari Davis for work as an "education advocate."

Jeane Napoles owns P80M Los Angeles property
Jeane Napoles is reportedly the owner of a luxurious, Los Angeles apartment in a building where Hollywood stars and most prominent public figures live.
Jeane Napoles is the youngest daughter of Janet Lim-Napoles, the alleged mastermind of the multi-million pork barrel controversy in the country. Jean's lifestyle has been put under the spotlight for the past few days after her mother was linked by whistleblowers to scheme involving their family.
The 23-year-old Jeane Napoles is the registered owner of Unit 371 at the Ritz-Carlton Residence in Los Angeles based upon the records of the Office of the Assessor of Los Angeles County and official records of the Recorder's Office. The Assessor's Office evaluates real property taxes, while the Record's Office assesses "special taxes."
Although the document does not indicate the exact price when the unit was sold, but the unit was built only in 2010. According to some estimates, the selling price of the apartment today is pegged at P80-M almost $2 million US dollars.
The Office of the Assessor says the unit is 1,610 sq-ft, and has two bedrooms and two baths. According to a popular real estate website, a 1,711 sq-ft apartment in the same building is priced at P81.5-M.
According to several records, the alleged apartment of Jeane Napoles is on 900 W Olympic Boulevard, the Ritz-Carlton address. The apartment is in a 54-story building that boasts of a panoramic view of LA city lights, hills, mountains and the ocean. The 23-year-old aspiring fashion designer lived in the Ritz-Carlton while she was a college student studying at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) as confirmed by Jeane's high school classmate.

SOMERS, NY— IBM has taken to the road from Beijing, China to Paderborn, Germany, sponsoring its University Days program - designed to help software programming students create open-standards-based e-business software.
The University Days program is expected to reach nearly 10,000 students in 22 universities world-wide by year's end and includes education, training and resources on IBM's open infrastructure software called "middleware."
"IBM is committing to the University Days program to show the future architects of the IT world - how IBM middleware can open options for e-business world-wide," said Gina Poole, Vice President, Developer Marketing and Web Communities. "Our strategy is to demonstrate the value of open software, which provides businesses with greater flexibility and productivity."
The University Days program showcases IBM's comprehensive resources for open, standard-based technology, including XML, Linux, Web Services, as well IBM's WebSphere, Lotus, DB2, the eServer family of servers, Tivoli and pervasive software.
The success of the program has created opportunities for IBM to work with professors on creating e-business curricula focused on using IBM middleware - offering students resources normally reserved for IBM partners and developers.
As a result, IBM material is now being taught in the United States at City University of New York, Boston College, Southwest Texas State University and the University of Texas. Other academic institutions exposing students to IBM technologies and providing certifications include: New Jersey Institute of Technology, Florida International University and Tennessee State University.
The universities selected IBM to provide a critical component of their teaching platform because WebSphere supports the broadest range of Web services standards, including both Java and XML.
Central to IBM's strategy commitment to offer new and experienced developers valued resources is developerWorks (www.ibm.com/developerWorks), IBM's free, online resource for developers.
DeveloperWorks is IBM's developer resource for open, standards-based development. Committed to providing relevant and accurate technical information by tapping into IBM and other industry leaders, developerWorks content is valuable to developers regardless of their application development tool of choice. developerWorks offers technology and product resources related to Linux, XML, Java, Web services and emerging technologies.

HELENA, Mont. — It seemed like a good idea at the time: Plant freshwater shrimp as a new food source for popular landlocked kokanee salmon. But the salmon are gone from Flathead Lake now; the shrimp project disrupted the lake's food chain in ways unimagined.
The opossum shrimp project of the 1960s and '70s, repeated at more than 100 lakes in the western United States and Canada, showed how messing with fisheries can go wrong. Nationwide, millions of dollars are being spent on attempts to undo the introduction of aquatic species and reestablish those of earlier times.

UPDATED: Yes, as several people have pointed out, I'm an idiot. I'm also an Aquarius, a natural brunette (although I've flirted with blonde, red and a brassy copper) and voted for Reagan in my fifth grade social studies election. Poor Mike Dukakis.
As Gurney wrote the play, Greg doesn't *BUY* the dog, she follows him home from the park. There are also references in the script to the couple being older. I knew that - I've read the play twice and have it my laptop bag at the moment. That's what I get for trying to do eight things at once. Perhaps "acquire" a dog is a better term ....
Still, I always pictured Greg and Kate as younger - probably just transferring my view of the world onto the characters, because I'm a millennial.
The Naples Players released the cast list for "Sylvia" on Monday - which happens to be my day off.
And Jessica Walck has won the role of "Sylvia," the dog - which was once played by Sarah Jessica Parker on Broadway.
One note - when I read "Sylvia," I always pictured Greg and Kate as in their 30s or even late twenties - something that most people don't actually see. To me,
The casting here, with Heffernan and O'Leary, follows a view of a middle-aged couple, with Greg going through a mid-life crisis and getting a dog/girlfriend.
I love the casting of Robert Armstrong - who was so great in "The Importance of Being Earnest."
Forty-one miles north, Michelle Damato will play the role of Sylvia in the Florida Rep production, which opens Jan. 4, with Carrie Lund as Kate. As of right now, the role of Greg has not been announced.
Here's the rest of the cast and crew for the Naples Players production of "Sylvia:"
CAST (listed alphabetically)
ROBERT ARMSTRONG: Tom/Phyllis/Leslie
JIM HEFFERNAN: Greg (the husband)
COLLEEN O'LEARY: Kate (the wife)
JESSICA WALCK: Sylvia (the dog)
SYLVIA (the creative team)
Director: Megan McCombs
Scenic Design: Todd Potter
Costume Design: Dot Auchmoody
Light/Sound Design: Jeff Weiss
Stage Manager: Jeff Hoover
"Sylvia" opens Jan. 12, 2011. For tickets, call 239-263-7990 or go online to www.naplesplayers.org.

Spilborghs, Garner non-tendered by Rockies
Outfielders Ryan Spilborghs and Cole Garner will not be tendered contracts by the Colorado Rockies the team announced Monday. Both players will become free agents.
The Rockies did offer contracts to other arbitration-eligible players, outfielders Seth Smith and Dexter Fowler. The team also agree to terms on a one-year contract with right-handed pitcher Kevin Slowey, who was acquired from the Minnesota Twins last week.
11 Comments »
Now I see on MLBTradeRumors that the Rockies are also pursuing Carlos Beltran along with Cuddyer. The Rockies better come away with one of these two free agents. I'm not sure who I would prefer.
Also saw that ah McGehee (Brewers) was traded for a Pirates run of the mill relief pitcher. Why could't Street have been traded for McGehee? Yeah McGehee had a bad year last year but has had 2 good years before that. Oh well, its not like the Rockies need a power bat that plays the corner infield positions……..
Pooter, I thought the same thing when the Brewers signed Ramirez. If MaGahee was available why not go after him. It's not like we don't have about 32 run of the mill relievers and 78 outfielders. Surely we could have given them one of each.
What will it cost to sign Beltran?
And why aren't we hearing any rumors relating to starting pitchers?
Well, I would guess the stable is pretty full of pitchers right now.
Of course none of the pitchers in the stable are extremely good pitchers…but I think this is your 2012 selection.
I think its proven with the Ubaldo trade that the Rockies do not have an interest in investing too much on pitchers. Nor should they if pitchers keep breaking down for whatever reason in Colorado.
As long as they spend heavily on the lineup I'm okay with them being frugal on SPs.
It actually won't surprise me too much if the Rockies trade Chacin at some point soon if his value is high enough.
If I was GM I would hold off on a big pitcher until the middle of the season and if we are in contention make the move then for a rental. I no longer trust long term contracts for pitchers here after I see what happened to Cook.
Hitters on the otherhand…spend away, I say!
sorry to be so out of touch, but is ITR going away?
Yes, Rocky. :( please see the link near the top of the front page right below the ITR logo.
bummer, gonna miss this site and all the regulars much
Spilly probably won't go anywhere. He's plan B. I'm willing to go out on a limb and say the Rockies will sign him for a discounted rate.
I say find a way to partner up with Angels for Trumbo or Kendry Morales.
Stay tuned Rocky, a new site is in the works.

ROBERT KOREN is Hull�s top scorer this season, but he would rather be �creating
chances than putting them away.
The Slovenia international took his tally to four with the winner against
Ipswich, but the 30-year-old says his job is �playmaker, not poacher.
He said: �Unfortunately, we don�t have any strikers who have scored many goals,
but, in the future, I hope they will put this right and start scoring.
�It�s not in my mind, to score as many goals as possible. I�m more of a midfield
player and I have a job to do for the team � to make sure we are playing good
�I�m not thinking about individual statistics. I�m not bothered about that.�
Hull have one of the weakest attacks in the Championship and have failed to
score in five of their nine home games this season.
It looked like being the same old story when Kevin Kilbane and Ian Ashbee both
hit the woodwork within 30 seconds late in the first half.
But Koren popped up with a 25-yard stunner in the 77th minute to help the Tigers
claim their first back-to-back wins in more than two years.
Ipswich boss Roy Keane said: �When you�re not winning matches, pressure builds
from within.
�It comes from within the dressing room because the players� pride is hurt.�
James McMath (Daily Star)

If the heat is on outdoors, follow these cool walking tips to make the most of your climate and maintain your walking routine.
1. Choose a COOL time of day. Know your local climate. Dawn is best, although it comes early in June and July. In some areas, a sea breeze begins cooling things down in mid-afternoon. But in many inland areas the temperatures rise until early evening, 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., and do not cool off until sunset. Your after-work walk schedule may put you into the hottest time of day.
2. Select a route that includes shade. Avoid direct sun and asphalt or concrete. Natural surface paths under the trees are the cooler places to walk. These are also favored by insects, so choose an insect repellent if they bug you too much, and check for ticks afterwards. You can use the online mapping app to find a walking route - and use the "Satellite View" or "Hybrid View" to see where the trees and shade may be.
3. Drink, drink, drink. Drink a big glass of water (12 to 20 ounces) 60 minutes BEFORE you start your walk. That starts you off well-hydrated but you have a chance to eliminate any extra before you start walking. Then drink a cup of water (6 to 8 ounces) every 20 to 30 minutes along your walk. You can tell if you end up dehydrated after your walk if your pulse rate remains high and your urine is dark yellow. The latest guideline for walkers and runners is "drink when thirsty," so be sure to carry water along so you can do so as soon as you are thirsty. Avoid drinks with a high sugar concentration, as that can cause nausea. Water is the best drink when walking for up to an hour. If you are walking and sweating for more than an hour, switch after the first hour to a sports drink that replaces electrolytes (body salt).
Drinking Guidelines for Walkers
4. Make your own shade. Wear a hat with a visor or a desert-cap with flaps to shade your neck. Wear sunscreen to prevent sunburn, skin cancer and wrinkles. Wear sunglasses that filter UVA and UVB to protect your eyes. Wear light colored clothing.
Hot Weather Walking Gear - Top Picks
5. Watch out for heat disease. If you become dizzy, nauseated, have dry skin or the chills, STOP and try to get a drink. If you do not feel better, get medical help immediately. If you are under care for a medical condition, especially heart or respiratory problems or have had heat stroke previously, consult with your health-care provider about walking in the heat.
Signs of Heat Sickness
6. Take it easy. If you can't avoid the heat, lower the intensity of your walking workout so your body generates less internal heat. Slow down, especially when going uphill. Save the higher intensity workouts for cooler times.
7. Respect the heat. Think twice about exercising when the ambient temperature is above 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 degrees Celsius) and the relative humidity is above 60 percent, according to the American Council on Exercise.

Trials & Litigation
Verdict in Ga. Courthouse Slaying Case: Guilty on All Counts
Posted Nov 7, 2008 3:05 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
Developing: A verdict has been reached in a 54-count Georgia courthouse slaying case, and the defendant has been found guilty on all counts.
"A Fulton County jury found courthouse shooter Brian Nichols guilty of the March 11, 2005 murder of four people in a killing spree that rocked the nation and the judicial system of Georgia, and took more than three-and-a-half years to wind through the courts," reports the Atlanta Journal-Constitution in a breaking story.
It says Nichols, who had offered an insanity defense, didn't react to the verdict. As discussed in earlier ABAJournal.com posts, he was a defendant in a rape case when he overpowered and beat his guard and then shot and killed the presiding judge and court reporter in the courtroom in which his rape case was to be tried. After escaping the courthouse, he killed others before he was apprehended.
Superior Court Judge James Bodiford asked the jury to return Monday morning, when it will begin deliberating whether to sentence to a life term or death in the capital case.

100% of customers would recommend this product to a friend (3 out of 3)
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: High quality material Nice and elegant design Very original appearance All metal alloy case Silver colors All working mechanism. Date and day display, fully functional.
Cons: Nothing so far, judging by the price of the product.
Other: Buy it if you like. Do not even hasitate. It is just perfect for the price.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Bought this watch for me, but I had to give it to my boyfriend since it looks very masculine. So, don't be afraid of the crystals inside, you almost cant see them. Despite, is very very very well built, looks very very nice and way more expensive! So cool to look at it working. Really, is more beautiful than most of the watches we see on shop windows around for 10 times the price AT LEAST (I'm talking about Brazil, needless to say how stupid the price of things are here).
Cons: The bracelet... Why do you have to put a so light and cheap bracelet in a so so nice watch? I would pleasantly pay a little more for a better bracelet on this watch.
Other: Hehehe, a really smart way to save on valentines day gift :P
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Keeping the price in mind, the watch is surprisingly well made. And it has a mechanical, self winding mehanism, at this price. I have been using it for coulple of weeks now, and it keeps time very well (about minus 1 minute per day). I was also pleasantly surprised by the build quality, it feels very solid and properly machined. The finish on the casing and wristlet is very good and even on all over the watch. All the dials on the face work, they are not painted or fixed, as is the case in some of the watches offered by DealExtreme. It looks way, way more expensive than it actually is, but is not too bulky or "flashy".
Cons: The edges of the wristlet are a little bit sharpish, but completely easy to live with. The date dial is tiny bit off, the dial in it is too large to show the date exactly. It's hard to tell if is the date 9th or 10th. The small round second thingy above six o'clock is slightly tilted, but does not affect the hands moving around. Actually the only "blemish" on the whole watch! The face of the watch is slightly "busy" with all the ornaments, and in a certain light a bit difficult to tell the time.
Other: A very nice watch to wear on all occations. If yours is as well made as mine, you'll be very pleased with it!

Linney celebration kicks off Aug. 28
Article Published: Aug. 22, 2012 | Modified: Aug. 29, 2012
A community conversation about noted playwright Romulus Linney will be led by Dr. Susan Cole, former chairwoman of the Appalachian State University Department of Theatre and Dance, at the Watauga County Public Library on Tuesday, Aug. 28, at 6:30 p.m.
Cole, who was a close friend of Linney, will talk about his Appalachian plays and tell stories about him and his friends. Audience members will also be encouraged to share their memories of Linney, who spent part of his childhood in Watauga County.
The event is a prelude to a two-day celebration of Linney's life and work to be held at Appalachian Sept. 20 to 21. The celebration will include master acting classes, workshops, craft lectures and the dedication and opening of the Romulus Linney Papers and exhibit. A tribute featuring readings from his works will be held at Valborg Theatre, and a reception at the Turchin Center will conclude the celebration.
Linney was a student of Cratis Williams, the father of Appalachian studies and a university faculty member. In 1995, the university awarded Linney an honorary doctorate, and he was the 2005 Belk Distinguished Professor. The author of more than 35 published plays, Linney died in January 2011.
The University Library and the Department of Theatre and Dance are sponsoring the Linney events.

Lakes soccer fan makes 730-miles round trip - to see his teams lose twice!
Updated 8:56am Thursday 28th February 2013 in News By Tom Murphy, Reporter
A DIEHARD football fan drove 730 miles up and down the country last weekend to watch his two beloved teams – only to see both lose.
Life-long Bradford City supporter Steve Wray, of Troutbeck, was born and bred in the Yorkshire city and is also a boyhood fan of Scottish Third Division side Berwick Rangers.
The 50-year-old took to the road with wife Julie, 51, late Friday evening, for a three-hour drive to the border to watch Berwick fall 3-1 to Glasgow Rangers on Saturday.
But Bradford City's unexpected journey to the Capital One Cup final was an 'unmissable match' – so the couple made a mad six-hour dash to Wembley early Sunday morning. The League One team were put to the sword 5-0 by Premiership outfit Swansea.
Steve, who works for the Lake District National Park Authority, said: "When the Scottish league fixtures were announced we immediately looked for Glasgow Rangers and got tickets. But after Bradford went on this incredible run we knew that it couldn't be missed.
"It was quite an experience to see two different matches in two different stadiums in the space of 24 hours."
It was the first time Bradford had reached a major final since 1911 – but Swansea's passing game on the hallowed Wembley turf proved a step too far for the Yorkshire side, who beat three Premiership teams on the way to their date with destiny.
"It's a shame they couldn't win but the experience was absolutely fantastic. Wembley is a magnificent stadium, it was great to watch my home town team play there."

Recommendations on the implementation of the Mental Capacity Act
The introduction of a framework of outcomes and indicators to track the impact of the investment in the education, training and development of the healthcare workforce is an important new development which will evolve over the next few years as the new NHS system develops. The initial indicators for 2013/14 set out in this guidance document will see the start of this journey with the introduction of the EOF for use across the 'whole' system.
This document explains the purpose of the EOF, and confirms the details about each domain in terms of definition and outcome. The EOF sets the outcomes that the Secretary of State expects to be delivered from the reformed education and training system. These outcomes will be delivered through partnership working by a range of stakeholders across the health and education system with Health Education England (HEE) and the Local Education and Training Boards (LETBs) playing leading roles.
All care decisions must come from a sared partnership between the profesional and the child, young person or adult. But for those who do not have capacity for their choices, or may lost that capacity in the future it is important the the right choices are made. Written by health can social care professilans, Deciding Right identifies the triggers for making care decisions in advance, complying with the Mental Capacity Act and the latest national guidelines.
This resource has been developed to raise awareness of shared decision making within commissioning organisations. This commissioning resource explains what shared decision making is and outlines what commissioners can do to support and encourage a more consitent approach with references and web links for shared decision making.

Atlanta and DeKalb County police are looking for at at least four men who broke into a Stokeswood Avenue home in East Atlanta Dec. 11 and stole a television before dropping it after neighbors who heard the commotion gave chase.
Police responded to an alarm call in the 700 block of Stokeswood Avenue at about 1:15 p.m., Atlanta police Sgt. Gregory Lyon told East Atlanta Patch.
Witnesses reported hearing popping noises — police said there was no evidence of gunfire and that the noise likely was the thieves breaking the door in to the home — and saw two men running down the street toward Oakfield Drive toward a waiting car.
The noise from the break-in and subsequent alarm drew the attention of neighbors who called the police. A couple of them ran after the burglars who grabbed a television before their flee attempt to the waiting car.
Realizing they were being chased, they dropped the television and escaped in a dark-colored, late-model Chevrolet Malibu.
Officers canvassed the immediate area but didn't find them, Lyon said. The DeKalb County Police Department also was notified as the area is near the city limits and unincorporated DeKalb County.
APD investigators were able to lift fingerprints from the television.

OTTUMWA — At this point, an aging, out-of-date firetruck is just taking up space at the fire department's central station, says Ottumwa's fire chief.
A public hearing at tonight's City Council meeting will open up discussion of the possible $1 million purchase of a new aerial fire apparatus for the Ottumwa Fire Department.
The 1977 American LaFrance snorkel is suffering from several problems, said Fire Chief Tony Miller.
He wants to replace the truck with a 100- or 101-foot platform aerial fire apparatus. That far outstretches the eldest truck's capabilities, which can only reach 85 feet.
"It cannot reach the top floor of Westgate [Towers], and we have a hard time getting it angled around where we need it to be at the high school," he said.
It's also plagued by a variety of maintenance issues, the cost of which simply isn't worth it, he said.
"We don't spend a lot of money on its maintenance now because ... why throw that money away?" he said.
The truck does not have a water tank or a water pump, which means anytime it was called out to a fire, one of the department's six other trucks would have to accompany it in order to pump water to the scene. The department currently has the 1977 American LaFrance Snorkel, a 1996 and a 2005 Pierce, a 1990 Mack Pumper, a 2003 American LaFrance and two 2010 rescue trucks.
The truck is also leaking oil and all of its hydraulic hoses need to be replaced, as they're cracking and leaking fluid, some of which can be seen coating the truck's windshield. And it has an open-air cab, which presents a safety risk to the firefighters. Today, all firetrucks are required to have a closed cab.
"I don't know of another fire department in the state of Iowa that has a firetruck this old," Miller said.

A wreck Thursday night on Interstate 64 killed one man. Virginia State Police have identified the victim as Trevis H. Johnson, 28, of Charlottesville.
Shortly after 9pm, police were called to the westbound lanes of I-64 just east of the 5th Street exit in Albemarle County.
According to a preliminary investigation, a 1994 Cadillac Sedan DeVille was traveling eastbound on I-64 when the vehicle ran off the road and into the median. The car then crossed over both westbound lanes, struck an embankment and flipped onto the driver's side door. The car also caught fire.
Police say speed was not a factor in the crash and it is undetermined if alcohol was a factor.
