Bristol City Football Club is a professional association football club based in Bristol, England. Their ground is Ashton Gate, located in the southwest of the city. They currently play in the Championship after winning League One during the 2014–15 season. In sealing the League One title, Bristol City became only the second team to win both the third-tier championship and Football League Trophy double during the same season.
Bristol City won the Welsh Cup – despite being an English club – in 1934. In 1907 they finished runners-up in Football League Division One, which is their highest ever final position. In 1909 they lost the FA Cup final to Manchester United, their only final. Since relegation in 1911, however, they only returned to the top division from 1976 to 1980 and did not contend for any honours then. In 1982, Bristol City became the first English club to suffer three consecutive relegations. They were promoted to the Football League Championship in the 2006–07 season after finishing second in League One but failed to make a second consecutive promotion to the Premier League after they were defeated by Hull City in the 2008 Football League Championship play-off Final at Wembley Stadium. With victories in 1986, 2003 and 2015, Bristol City are now the most successful team in the Football League Trophy.[1]
The club's nickname is "The Robins", and a robin featured on the club's badge from 1976 to 1994. Official club merchandise, including replica kits, still has a label showing a robin. An attempt by the club to alter the badge was abandoned after it was criticised fiercely by fans.[2] The team's main rivals are Bristol Rovers in the Bristol derby and Cardiff City in the Severnside derby, along with other regional teams in the West Country derby.
Bristol City's current manager is Lee Johnson; a former Bristol City player who made 199 appearances for the club. Coincidentally, he is the son of former City manager Gary Johnson, who took City to the Championship play-off final in 2008, where they eventually lost 0–1 to Hull City.[3]
Early years and early successes (1894–1911)
The club was founded in 1894 as Bristol South End and changed their name to Bristol City on adopting professionalism three years later when they were admitted into the Southern League. Finishing as runners-up in three of the first four seasons, in 1900 the club amalgamated with local Southern League rivals Bedminster, who had been founded as Southville in 1887. City joined the Football League in 1901 when they became only the third club south of Birmingham (following in the footsteps of Woolwich Arsenal and Luton Town) to perform in the competition. Their first game in the Football League was on 7 September 1901 at Bloomfield Road, when Blackpool were beaten 2–0.[4]
A scheme has been informally approved by the parties interested for the amalgamation of the Bristol City and Bedminster Association Football Clubs. The leading conditions are that the name and colours of Bristol City shall be retained, that matches shall be played alternately on the ground of each club for one season, and that five directors shall be nominated by each club. This should lead to Bristol securing one of the strongest teams in the south.
Gloucestershire Echo, 12 April 1900.[5] The announcement of the merger between Bristol City and Bedminster.
Winning the Second Division Championship with a record number of points when they became the first club in Football League history to win 30 games as well as equaling Manchester United's achievement of the previous season in winning 14 consecutive games (still a record today, which was also accomplished by Preston in 1950–51). Nicknamed the Bristol Babe at this time, they finished as runners-up in their inaugural First Division campaign (the only southern club to finish in the top two prior to World War 1). Three years later they won through to their only FA Cup Final, though they were somewhat fortunate that a last gasp spot-kick saved them from defeat in the semi-final versus Derby County at Stamford Bridge. Unfortunately, there was no such similar award to help them in the Final at the Crystal Palace (now the National Sports Centre) as Manchester United took the honours 1–0. After a five-season stay in the top flight, despite winning 1–0 at Newcastle at the start of the 1910–11 campaign, failure to beat Everton in the season's finale brought City's first ever taste of relegation and it was to be 65 years before top flight status would be regained.[6]
The yo-yo era (1912–65)
The 1920s were a rocky time as City bounced between the Second Division and the Southern Section of the Third Division. By the 1930s they had slumped into the lower division, and stayed that way until the Second World War. Harry Dolman became chairman in 1949, a post he would hold for over 30 years. An engineer who had bought out the firm he worked for, he designed the first set of floodlights installed at Ashton Gate in the early 1950s. The late 1950s were a better time for City, with a five-year stay in the Second Division, a league they returned to for a further spell in 1965.
Back among the elite (1966–80)
In 1967, Alan Dicks was appointed manager, and things gradually began to improve, with promotion to the First Division in 1976, ending a 65-year exile from the top flight.
Between 1975 and 1981 City were regular participants in the Anglo-Scottish Cup, winning the trophy in 1977–78, beating Hibernian in the semi-finals, and winning 3–2 on aggregate in the final against St Mirren (managed at the time by a relatively new manager, Alex Ferguson). St Mirren had their revenge two seasons later, with an aggregate 5–1 victory over City to become the only Scottish team to win the trophy.
City's second stint in the top flight was less successful than the club's first, with thirteenth position in 1979 being their highest finish during this era. Stars of this era included Geoff Merrick, Tom Ritchie, Clive Whitehead, Gerry Gow, Trevor Tainton and Jimmy Mann.
Decline and financial ruin (1980–82)
In 1980, the City team went back to the Second Division in the first of three relegations, their debt mounted and their financial losses increased, with two successive relegations following. Thus, in 1982, they fell into the Fourth Division, and were declared bankrupt. BCFC (1982) Ltd acquired the club's player contracts, and the highly paid senior players Julian Marshall, Chris Garland, Jimmy Mann, Peter Aitken, Geoff Merrick, David Rodgers, Gerry Sweeney and Trevor Tainton, who became known as the 'Ashton Gate Eight', each accepted termination of his contract for half the amount due. The club failed to pay its debts to many local businesses which left the new formed club difficulty in obtaining credit because of bad feeling toward them.
Revival (1982–90)
City spent two seasons in the Fourth Division before winning promotion under Terry Cooper in 1984. They consolidated themselves in the Third Division during the latter part of the 1980s, and in 1990 Cooper's successor Joe Jordan achieved promotion as Third Division runners-up to local rivals Bristol Rovers.
There was a tragedy for the club, however, in that promotion campaign. In March 1990, two months before the club sealed promotion, striker Dean Horrix was killed in a car crash barely two weeks after joining the club, and having played three league games for them.[7]
Second tier (1990–95)
Jordan moved to Heart of Midlothian in September 1990, and his successor Jimmy Lumsden remained in charge for 18 months before making way for Denis Smith. Smith's first signing was the 20-year-old Arsenal striker Andy Cole, who was an instant hit with fans. He was sold to Newcastle United in February 1993 and later established himself as a world class goalscorer, most prominently with Manchester United, where he collected five Premier League titles, two FA Cups and the European Cup.
Meanwhile, City remained in the new Division One (no longer the Second Division after the creation of the Premier League in 1992) and Smith moved to Oxford United in November 1993. His successor Russell Osman was sacked within a year, being an unpopular figure with fans. One of Osman's few successful moments with City came in January 1994 when he led them to a shock 1–0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield in a third round replay in the FA Cup, a result that would cause the Liverpool manager at the time, Graeme Souness, to resign.
Joe Jordan was brought back to Ashton Gate in September 1994, but was unable to prevent relegation to Division Two.
Promotion and relegation (1995–2000)
Jordan remained at the helm for two seasons after City's relegation, but left in March 1997 after failing to get them back into Division One. Former Bristol Rovers manager John Ward took over, and achieved promotion in 1998 as Division Two runners-up. But City struggled back in Division One, and Ward stepped down in October 1998 to be succeeded by Benny Lennartsson. City were relegated in bottom place and Lennartsson was dismissed in favour of Gillingham's Tony Pulis, who lasted six months before leaving to take over at Portsmouth. During his time at Ashton Gate he was manager of perhaps the worst City side since the one that completed a hat-trick of successive relegations almost 20 years earlier.
Coach Tony Fawthrop took over until the end of the season, when Danny Wilson was appointed. Wilson was arguably the most prominent manager to take charge of a City side since Denis Smith, as he had guided Barnsley to promotion to the Premier League in 1997 and Sheffield Wednesday to a 12th-place finish in 1999.
Danny Wilson era (2000–04)
City were regular Division Two playoff contenders during Wilson's spell as manager. City failed to reach them in 2002, although Wilson almost took them to automatic promotion, and winning the Football League Trophy in Cardiff in 2003. The taste of the play-offs was bitter though, losing to rivals Cardiff City 1–0 on aggregate in the semi-final. In his final year – 2004 – they reached the final, but lost to Brighton & Hove Albion. He was sacked within days and replaced by veteran player Brian Tinnion.
Disappointment under Brian Tinnion (2004–05)
City just failed to make the playoffs in Tinnion's first season as manager, finishing seventh, and he stepped down in September 2005 after a poor start to the season culminating in a 7–1 defeat at the hands of Swansea City. City's form had slumped despite the addition of high-profile players, including Marcus Stewart and Michael Bridges. Yeovil Town manager Gary Johnson was recruited as his successor.
Revival and promotion under Gary Johnson (September 2005 – May 2007)
Johnson arrived in September 2005, making the move from Yeovil Town, with whom he had gained two promotions. His first game in charge (only hours after meeting the squad) saw City win away at Brentford 3–2. After a short spell of decent results, City were plunged into the relegation mire, enduring a club record of nine successive defeats, leaving them at the foot of League One. Much criticism was aimed at Gary Johnson at this time; the Chairman of Bristol City Supporters Club labelled him a 'Conference Manager' and contended that he was 'totally out of his depth'. The run was brought to an end with a 2–0 victory at home to Huddersfield on 10 December. City then lost just three of their next 16 games, and this fine run of form was capped with a 6–0 win over Gillingham, in which defender Louis Carey scored a brace. This was City's most emphatic league win since beating Charlton by the same score in September 1969, and was an encouraging sign of things to come, although they did not quite make playoffs in 2006.
Despite a slow start to the 2006–07 season, which saw a vocal minority of fans calling for Johnson to be sacked after a 4–2 home defeat by Blackpool (who were eventually also promoted), City were in the top six of League One by November and at the end of the month began an 11-match unbeaten run which drove them to the top of the division. They also hit the headlines with an impressive FA Cup run, being knocked out in the 4th round on penalties after a replay in which they held Premiership side Middlesbrough to a 2–2 draw in both ties. They knocked out Championship side Coventry City in the 3rd round. They also reached the Southern Area Final of the Football League Trophy, but were knocked out over two legs by local rivals Bristol Rovers after a 0–0 draw at Ashton Gate and a Rickie Lambert goal condemned the Robins to a 1–0 aggregate defeat in the second leg.
Promotion to the Championship was confirmed on the final day of the season with a 3–1 win against already relegated Rotherham United. David Noble scored two goals and Alex Russell scored once, securing the runners-up place in the division and resulting in automatic promotion and joyous scenes of celebration in the city and even more so on the pitch at the full-time whistle. 2007–08 was the first season in almost a decade that would see Bristol City playing at this level of English football.
Championship challenge (2007–09)
In the summer between City's promotion and the start of the Championship season, Gary Johnson made a number of signings. However their pre-season form did not start well, losing 4–2 to Forest Green Rovers. However, City got off to a good start going unbeaten for a number of matches and briefly topping the Championship after beating Coventry City 3–0. City then suffered a slight blip after losing 3–0 to Barnsley before beating a variety of big name teams including Sheffield United live on Sky Sports and Southampton. In November, City's form dipped and they endured a run of four games without a win, including a 6–0 thrashing at the hands of Ipswich Town. In December, City's form picked up again and went unbeaten all the way to Boxing Day when they lost to West Bromwich Albion 4–1.
After a stop start run of form including victories over Blackpool and Coventry City and losses to Queens Park Rangers and Crystal Palace, City went top of the Championship on 1 March, after a 2–1 home victory over Hull City. After some indifferent results City went back to the top after a last gasp winner from Steve Brooker, who was just returning from injury, in a 2–1 win over Norwich City. However, a poor run ended City's chances of an automatic promotion place. On 4 May 2008, a 3–0 home win against Preston North End on the final day of the league season ensured a play-off place and a semi-final fixture against Crystal Palace. On 13 May 2008, the second leg of a 4–2 aggregate win over Crystal Palace with goals from Lee Trundle and Michael McIndoe confirmed City's trip to Wembley, where they were beaten 1–0 by Hull City after Dean Windass' 18 yard strike beat Adriano Basso in the 38th minute.
After a poor start in the first half of the 2008–09 season, City recovered after Christmas. After winning 4–2 away at Watford on Boxing Day, they took 13 points from five games in early 2009 to reach eighth place in the league by early February. City had a memorable away victory against Reading which saw them jump up to their highest position of the season to fourth. After a lot of draws, the season eventually petered out and City finished the season in tenth place.
End of the Johnson era (2009–10)
The 2009–10 season saw some good results in the autumn, but heavy defeats by Cardiff City (0–6) and Doncaster Rovers (2–5) in early 2010 lead to much dissatisfaction amongst fans.[8] On 18 March 2010, the club issued a statement that Johnson had "left his post as manager of Bristol City by mutual consent".[9] Assistant manager Keith Millen took charge as caretaker manager, starting well with a draw against title favourites Newcastle United and a 5–3 win against Barnsley. After that, City beat Peterborough United 1–0, which was the first time they had gone three matches unbeaten in the league since the end of October.
Steve Coppell (2010)
In a brief press conference on 22 April 2010, it was announced that former Reading manager Steve Coppell would become the new City manager at the end of the 2009–10 campaign, when he would start a 12-month rolling contract, and that Keith Millen, who had guided the club to Championship safety in his brief spell as caretaker manager, would remain at the club as his assistant.[10] Coppell's first game in charge was a 1–1 friendly draw with Swedish side IFK Gothenburg. His first win as manager was an 11–1 win against Swedish fourth division side Vallens IF on the same pre-season tour.
It was announced on 12 August 2010 that Coppell had resigned as manager with immediate effect saying that he would retire from football management altogether citing a lack of passion for the job.[11] This followed his only two competitive games at the club, a 0–3 home defeat by Millwall in the opening game of the 2010–11 Football League Championship and a 2–3 loss at League Two Southend United in the Football League Cup.[12]
Keith Millen (2010 – October 2011)
Keith Millen was announced as manager of Bristol City on a three-year deal after Coppell stepped down.[12][13]
Bristol City parted company with manager Keith Millen on 3 October 2011.[14] City struggled to find form at the start of the 2011–12 Championship season picking up just 6 points from 10 games. His sacking came after their 5–0 defeat by Blackpool on 1 October 2011.[15] Millen's last game in charge was his heaviest loss since his appointment the previous year. The club installed Steve Wigley as caretaker manager following Millen's exit and stated that they would take their time in finding a new manager.[16]
Derek McInnes (October 2011 – January 2013)
On Wednesday, 19 October 2011, Scotsman Derek McInnes was appointed Bristol City manager after Keith Millen's departure. The 40-year-old joined from Scottish Premier League side St Johnstone on a contract until the summer of 2014. McInnes was highly respected at St Johnstone after his 2008/09 season triumph when St Johnstone finished at the top of the First Division taking them up into the SPL; McInnes arrived at Ashton Gate with a 40 per cent win percentage, with 53 victories, 41 draws and 38 defeats in his 130 games in charge at McDiarmid Park.
On 29 November 2011, the club announced a loss of £11.45 million.[17]
After a promising start with only a single loss in seven games and a goalless draw at West Ham, City, between 3 December 2011 and 3 March 2012, managed only three wins, scored nine goals in total and lost eleven games including an FA Cup tie with then-League Two club Crawley Town; a 3–2 home win against Leicester City served only as a break in City's fall into the relegation zone. Punctuating the period was a David James own-goal from a botched punch during a home loss to Watford,[18] an action that served to be the final straw as he did not feature until City's last game of 2011–12 away at Burnley – a game he only played one quarter of due to injury.
The Watford loss, however, was the final one of the season as – partly due to Dean Gerken's return and the loan signings of Andre Amougou (Burnley) and Hogan Ephraim (QPR) – City resurged and came out of the Easter weekend with two victories over Nottingham Forest – City's first win at Forest's City Ground since 1956 – and Coventry City, putting themselves four points distant of the relegation zone. The second draw against West Ham of the season effectively ended the latter club's automatic promotion hopes, and losses by Coventry and Portsmouth put Bristol City further out of reach before a 2–0 home win against Barnsley on 21 April 2012 secured safety for City and relegation for their rivals.
After a poor start to the 2012/13 campaign, which included only three home wins, McInnes was sacked on 12 January 2013 after a 4–0 home defeat by Leicester City, which left them in bottom place in the Championship.
Sean O'Driscoll (14 January 2013 – 28 November 2013)
After the sacking of Derek McInnes on 12 January 2013, former Nottingham Forest manager Sean O'Driscoll was appointed head coach on a 12-month rolling contract.[19] On 16 April 2013, City were relegated to League One after suffering a 1–0 defeat to Ex-Premier League club Birmingham City who sealed the Robins' fate. For City it ended a six-year stay in the Championship, the second longest behind fellow relegation contenders Barnsley. Sean O'Driscoll left Ashton Gate with the team 22nd in the League One table, having managed only two wins in 18 matches this season – although he did oversee a Johnstone's Paint Trophy win over arch-local rivals Bristol Rovers.
Steve Cotterill (3 December 2013 –14 January 2016)
After the sacking of Sean O'Driscoll on 28 November 2013, former Nottingham Forest and Cheltenham Town manager Steve Cotterill was appointed on a three and a half year contract. When he joined the club were bottom of the table and 5 points away from safety with a −7 goal difference. Cotterill made a huge impact and guided the club to safety and finished the season 12th, 11 points from the relegation zone with a goal difference of +3. This was the first time the club managed a positive goal difference since the 2007–08 Football League Championship. Had the season started when Steve Cotterill joined the club, Bristol City would have finished 5th.
Bristol City were promoted back to Championship for 2015–16 season after securing a top spot in 2014–15 Football League One on 14 April 2015. They were crowned League One champions at home to Coventry City on Saturday 18 April, the club's first league title since 1955. In their last home game, against Walsall, they finished the season in style, winning 8–2 including a hat-trick by centre back Aden Flint. In the same season, they also won the 2015 Johnstone's Paint Trophy after a win over Walsall, which finished 2–0 and their third league trophy, a record held by the club for having the most wins in that competition.
Steve Cotterill was relieved of his duties on the 14th of January 2016 after a poor run of form which had seen Bristol City slip to 22nd in the Championship table with just 4 wins in 28 games.
Lee Johnson (6 February 2016 – present)
Lee Johnson was appointed as Bristol City's new head coach on 6 February 2016. Johnson's club at the time, Barnsley, released a statement via their website & social media accounts that they had given permission for Bristol City to make contact with him over their vacancy.[20] Later that day, Johnson's appointment was formally announced just before Bristol City's away match against Charlton Athletic.[21] He had been the bookies' favourite for a number of days leading up to his appointment.[22] Prior to joining the club as head coach, Johnson played 199 games for Bristol City as a midfielder between 2006 and 2012, scoring 11 goals. He is also the son of former Bristol City manager, Gary Johnson, whom he played under for 4 years at City and who took City to the Championship play-off final in 2008, where they eventually lost to Hull City.[3] Johnson successfully guided Bristol City to an 18th-place finish at the end of the 2015–16 season, meaning that City avoided relegation back to League One.
Despite star striker Jonathan Kodjia leaving to Aston Villa,[23] Bristol City started the 2016-17 season well, and after 11 games they were 5th in the league table.[24] This was in part due to loan star Tammy Abraham scoring 8 goals in 8 games.[25] City also appeared in the Last 16 of the League Cup for the first time since the 1988-89 season, however they were beaten 1-2 by Premier League side Hull City.[26]

Colours, crest, mascot and anthem
Bristol City have played in red and white since the 1890s, occasionally also including black.[28]
- The club's crest is a simplified version of the coat of arms of the city of Bristol.
- The club's mascot is Scrumpy the robin who has been the club's mascot since 2005.[29]
- The club's official anthem is One for the Bristol City by the Wurzels. First released in 1976, it is the tune the team run out to at home matches. A newly recorded version of the song reached number 66 in the UK charts in September 2007.[30]
Bounce around the ground
About halfway through the 2007–08 season Bristol City manager Gary Johnson said in an interview that he hoped the team could get the whole ground bouncing.[31][32] City supporters took this rallying cry on board and began to sing "Johnson says bounce around the ground" to the tune of Yellow Submarine, while continually bouncing up and down. The first game at which it was sung was in an away match against Southampton at St Mary's Stadium, and it was also sung at away at Queen's Park Rangers in February. When Bristol City fans travelled to London to play Charlton Athletic on 4 March 2008, the visiting fans, using the rail network to return home, adapted the song to "Bounce Around the Train". Since then, it has become an often used chant at Ashton Gate stadium by the fans, and City manager Gary Johnson has even joined in with the bouncing himself.[33] It was also sometimes used by supporters of Gary Johnson's former side Northampton Town, primarily at away matches. When Gary Johnson's son, Lee Johnson returned to his former club in 2016 as their new manager, he stated that he wished to inherit the chant and keep the fans singing it.[34]
Bristol City's traditional rivals are Bristol Rovers. The clubs have met 105 times, with the first meeting in 1897. Bristol City have the most wins on 43. However, the clubs have not been in the same league for a number of years; they were last in the same division in the 2000–01 Season. Since then, they have only met three times; in the two-legged southern final of the 2006–07 Football League Trophy, which Rovers won 1–0 on aggregate, and in the first round of the 2013–14 Johnstone's Paint Trophy, which City won 2–1 at Ashton Gate.
City's other main rivals are Cardiff City, who play in nearby Cardiff. Despite being a local derby, it crosses the Wales-England border, making it one of the few international derbies in the United Kingdom. Both clubs have been at similar levels over the past 10 years, except between 2003 and 2007 when Cardiff were a division above, in the 2013/14 season the clubs were two divisions apart however, following Cardiff's promotion to the Premiership and subsequent relegation in the same season to the Championship they are just one division apart. This has meant frequent meetings in the league including in the semi-finals of the 2003 Second Division play-offs. Cardiff City won the most recent encounter 2–1 on 16 February 2013. However Bristol City won the corresponding Fixture 4–2 Martyn Woolford hitting a brace
Other clubs have been seen as 'third rivals' by the fans and media. Swindon Town are seen by many as rivals, being nicknamed 'Swindle' by City fans. Plymouth Argyle have also been considered rivals despite a distance of over 100 miles. The rivalry has developed in recent years as the two clubs were the highest ranking West Country clubs for a number of years, and meetings were seen as a decider of the 'Best in the west'. Swansea City and even Yeovil Town have previously been mentioned as rivals, but very rarely.

Bristol City have played at Ashton Gate in the south-west of Bristol, just south of the River Avon, since moving from St John's Lane in 1904. The ground currently has an all-seated capacity of 27,000. It was the home of Bedminster until the 1900 merger, and the merged team played some games there the following season, but it did not become the permanent home of Bristol City until 1904.
In the past plans were considered for expansion work to be carried out at Ashton Gate. There were also proposals to build a new 36,000-seat stadium at Hengrove Park. This was turned down in a local referendum in December 2000.[36] In 2002, the local council was looking at possible sites for a new 40,000-seat stadium which would house both City, Rovers and Bristol Rugby, but these plans were scrapped and it is widely accepted that this would not have been welcomed by the majority of supporters from all clubs.[37] Ashton Gate's current capacity is an average size for Championship grounds, however in November 2007 the club announced plans to relocate to a new 30,000 capacity stadium in Ashton Vale plans were also in place to increase capacity to 42,000 had the England 2018 World Cup bid been successful.[38][39]
The South stand opened for the 2015/16 season, with the existing Williams stand being demolished and replaced by the Lansdown stand in 2016. A new partly-artificial Desso pitch was laid and the current Dolman stand refurbished. There is still no decision on the club's request to provide a "safe standing" area, similar to those used in Germany.

Bristol City Women's F.C.
The women's team was formed in 1990 supported by the club's community officer, Shaun Parker. Their greatest achievement was reaching the semi-finals of the FA Women's Cup in 1994 and winning promotion to the Premier League under Manager Jack Edgar in 2004. Following the decision by the FA to fund only one centre of excellence in Bristol, the two senior teams were disbanded in June 2008 and the girls' youth side merged with the Bristol Academy W.F.C..[40] The majority of the senior players, with coach Will Roberts, moved to the University of Bath in summer 2008 and now play as AFC TeamBath Ladies in the South West Combination Women's Football League.[41]

When he's not meticulously molding malleable minds teaching physical science to Bronx middle-schoolers, Danny Steinman holes up in his Hudson Valley home with his loving family, churning out wildly colorful, vibrant and powerful large scale drawings in a style he has termed Psych-Pop.
Audacious in both design and approach, Steinman's work bears the mark of a risk-taker, where bold decisions give way to brilliant results, at once childlike in its inherent freedom and purity, yet reflective of clear visionary design. A quintessential Steinman work, created on large foam-core boards using a variety of designer ink and markers, sees smaller forms and figures combining to create a larger image. This is the hallmark of Steinman's style, one that is stubbornly all his own.
Danny Steinman's work has been described as vibrant, joyful and distinctly unique, owing to his inimitable technique and strategic use of color and form. Steinman's uncommon medium lends to the distinct appearance of his work, making it instantly recognizable. "I try not to restrict myself, and the result is childlike and free. I strive less for perfection and more for strength and boldness."
Danny recently completed an overwhelmingly successful debut opening at consciousfork. Thirteen original works were sold and several more following up with a second show in March 2017 at Village in Warwick, NY. Over the last year, Danny has sold over 2000 signed limited edition prints of his artwork online and at various concerts and festivals. Just recently, two different Limited Edition Concert Event Prints for Mihali, of the inimitable rock band Twiddle, sold out 150 editions apiece.
Other upcoming projects for Steinman include album art for Twiddle's Mihali Savoulidis upcoming solo release, limited-edition show prints and merchandise designs for Twiddle and The Revivalists as well as numerous commissioned works for NYC area businesses, including the critically acclaimed restaurant Fetch.

The Big Yorkshire Breakfast
On Tuesday 26th January The Carpenters Arms, Felixkirk hosted The Big Yorkshire Breakfast event. A full breakfast was served from 8.00am with last orders at 11.00am in aid of the Addington Fund, a national farming charity.
Ian Bell, Chief Executive for the Addington Fund announced during the breakfast that as a consequence of the severe flooding in the north, all funds from the breakfast would be directed to the North of England Flood Fund.
£8,325,00 was raised at the event through anonymous donations. The Carpenters Arms' Chris Blundell commented, "We are absolutely delighted to be able to help raise much needed funds for the Addington Fund and particularly the North of England Flood Fund by hosting this event. We all have friends and colleagues that have had a miserable Christmas and New Year as a result of the weather.
Michael Ibobtson, co-owner continued "All our pubs are located in rural areas within strong farming communities and so it follows many of our customers are farmers. With our approach to sourcing the best of local produce we have some very close relationships to this community."
Michael Ibbotson added, "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and yet so many of us simply leave for work without taking the time to sit down and eat. That is why at Provenance Inns we pay a lot of attention to our breakfast offering with a full breakfast buffet of juices, cereals, pastries, yoghurts and fruit in addition to a full A La Carte breakfast. When guests book a night away, it is one of the few times they take to sit and enjoy a good breakfast. Eating is such a social practice and has a crucial impact upon physical, social and mental health."
This fundraising event was also kindly supported by Strutt & Parker and Barclays.
For more information please contact Karen Sweeney at The Carpenters Arms, Felixkirk on 01845 537369.

Isherwood, Waggoner soar to personal bests at Carson
Ian Isherwood in the pole vault and Colton Waggoner in the discus shattered personal records Saturday to provide highlights for Douglas High at the Comstock Classic track and field meet in Carson City.
Isherwood flew to a height of 14-3 — an improvement of more than one foot — to capture first-place in the boys pole vault during competition in the nine-school meet held at Carson High School's Jim Frank Track and Field Facility.
And Waggoner hurled the discus 165-6 — a personal best by more than seven feet — to capture second-place in a closely contested duel against Joshua Koch of Dayton.
Their performances helped lead Douglas to the boys team championship with 168.5 points, followed by Carson (138). Douglas also edged Carson by a 166.83-154.33 margin to capture the girls team title.
Isherwood had cleared 13 feet in each of his three previous meets, however, the junior flew past that personal best height Saturday. His mark is the best by a Northern Division I vaulter so far this season and ranks No. 2 statewide in Division I, according to the Athletic.net website.
"I was excited," Isherwood said. "The 14-3 was a big surprise. I just had a good week of practice — I made 13-6 in practice — so I thought I might as well go for it."
Waggoner, a senior, took the lead late in the competition with his best throw, only to see Koch come back to win with his own personal record throw of 170-6 — 19 feet better than the distance he threw to win at the 2013 Northern Division I-A Region meet. It marked the third time this season Waggoner has set a personal record, including his previous best of 158-1 one week before at the Del Oro Invitational.
McKown and Waggoner rank second and third in the state among Division I throwers, according to Athletic.net.
Nick Abreu won the 100-meter dash — his second invitational victory in the past three weeks — as the junior clocked an 11.58, while freshman Dawson Coman placed fourth (12.16) and senior Brandon Harmon fifth (12.25).
Bailey Vidaurri won the 200 meters in a season-best time of 23.62. Abreu, Coman and Vidaurri joined Grant Dunkelman in winning the 4×100 relay in 44.64, just a step ahead of Bishop Manogue (44.95).
Connor Lyons and Abreu placed second and third respectively in the long jump with personal record marks of 20-10 and 20-9-1/2.
Austin Croxall won the 3,200 (11:06.85). Josh Cassity placed fourth in the 1,600 as the senior ran a personal best time of 5:05.19, while freshman teammate John Munyan placed fifth (5:10.69).
Douglas scored well in the relays by winning four of six races.
Kaleb Morris, Noah Magrath, Vidaurri and Coman combined to win the 4×400 relay (3:40.68), just ahead of Manogue (3:40.97).
Douglas won the distance medley relay as Cassity (1,200 meters), Brennan Neilon (400), Greth (800) and Brandon Pankey (1,600) ran 11:26.34.
Croxall, Greth, Morris and Pankey won the 4×800 relay by nearly a full minute in a time of 8:52.29.
Senior Eman Montoya set a personal best of 5-10 in the high jump to place fourth, while teammate Ben Nolting placed fifth at 5-10. Abreu placed fifth in the pole vault (12-0) and Dunkelman placed eighth (10-0, personal best). Freshman Cade Pankey and Lyons placed second and third respectively in the triple jump with marks of 38-11-1/2 and 38-9-1/2. Waggoner also placed sixth in the shot put (43-4).
Dunkelman placed third in the 110-meter high hurdles (17.18) and third in the 300-meter intermediates (45.44).
Depth paid off for the Tigers, who had multiple place finishers in 12 events to win their third invitational championship this season.
Maddy Lowe won the 300-meter low hurdles (51.21) and placed second in the 100 hurdles (17.12).
Morgan Weston placed second in the discus (119-6) and Savannah Haase took third (101-3). Haase also placed third in the shot put (30-11) while Weston took fourth (30-9).
Jessa Gansberg placed second in the long jump with a personal best 15-11 and Amber Taylor took fifth (15-1).
Senior Kylie Memro placed third in the triple jump at 32-5, a personal best by one foot, and Gansberg placed fourth (31-9).
In the 200, freshman Desiree Lehrke ran a personal best 28.35 to place third and Jessa Gansberg ran 28.68 to place fourth. Lehrke placed second in the 100 (13.26), Bailey Gansberg fifth (13.61) and Sarah Carter sixth (13.93).
Douglas won the 4×800 relay in 10:12.87 with Maddie Cote, Moriah Munya, Mizuki Oliverez and Rebecca Corbett.
The Tigers also won the distance medley in 14:08.04 with the team of Mizuki Oliverez (1,200 meters), Moriah Munyan (400), Rebecca Corbett (800) and Cote (1,600). Cote won the 800 in a lifetime best time of 2:31.64. Corbett and Munyan placed first and third in the 1,600 with respective times of 5:57.54 and 6:09.97.
Douglas won the sprint medley relay in 2:03.88 — just six-tenths of a second off the school record — with the team of Sarah Carter, Samantha Crawford, Sydne Huck and Catlin Jones.

Sport Appeals Database
Sport Appeals was set up in 1993 to help support our work in the planning process
At the time, it was a reaction to a number of high profile cases, such as the Thames Ditton case and the Windermere speed limit, and a general perception that the provision of sports facilities was under threat.
The development of the database was designed to provide a resource to clubs and local authorities to help protect and enhance sites for sport which are subject to a planning appeal by providing access to precedences. The database is designed to help users quickly access planning appeal decisions, allowing the user to quickly search by sport, facility type etc.
We have recently updated the database and now allow free access to the system and records. Please note that there are 100 or so records which do not have decision letters attached at present. These will be added shortly.
We're sorry that we don't provide any technical support for using the appeals database. If you are having problems, please see the Tips and Troubleshooting section below.
Minimum Recommended requirements: Screen Resolution 1024 x 768, Internet Explorer v 6.0 or Mozilla Firefox v1.0, session cookies enabled, pop up blocker disabled. For optimum performance: Internet Explorer v7.0 or Mozilla Firefox v2.0.
Tips for using the database
Keyword search
Although there are a number of fields that have been set up for sport and facility type, using the keyword search can be invaluable in refining your search or finding appeals, where the sports facility type may not fit into the data model e.g. pavilion, changing room etc.
The keyword search picks up anything that is in the proposal field, and you do not have to put in full sentences. For example extension will pick up any proposals that include extensions to clubs, grounds, pavilions etc.
Searching by fields
Some of the fields are relatively new, such as Obligations and Regional Spatial Strategy, so you may not find many appeal records.
In addition, under Planning Policy, some of the PPS's are new and again, searching by them will not return that many records.
Returned records
The system returns up to 20 records per page. To view more click on the numbers under the last record, which correspond with the relevant page.
If you see a series or dots after the last number, then there are more pages. Click on the dots to see more.
Frequently asked questions
How many appeals are there on the database?
There are now approximately 3,500 appeals on the system covering all written representations, inquiries and informal hearings.
How far back do the appeal decisions go?
The database contains decisions back to 1990.
How is the database maintained?
The database is maintained by Steven Abbott Associates, with new appeals being loaded on as they become available.
What is the difference between the sports appeals database and other appeals databases, such as the service offered by Compass?
A service offered by Compass is always likely to be more comprehensive, because they receive every appeal decision, however the difference is that the sports appeals database has been specifically designed to pick up particular issues that concern sports facility provision, and therefore it is likely to be easier for the user to quickly zoom into the information that they want.
Is there any cost for using the appeals database?
No, access is free.
I press the start button to search but nothing seems to happen.
Is your pop up blocker enabled? In Internet Explorer go to Tools, Pop Up Blocker and turn off the Pop Up Blocker.
I press the start button to search and a screen appears however it shows a 'Server Error'.
Are your settings on your browser set up to block cookies? In Internet Explorer go to Tools, Internet Options, Privacy and adjust the slider bar on Setting to it is set to Medium or below.
I only seem to be able to see part of the screen.
Is your screen resolution set to 1028 x 768? To check, right click on the desktop and click properties. On the box that appears go to settings and adjust the sliding scale accordingly until it is at 1028 x168.
On some of the appeals, not all of the fields as filled in.
We have carried out an upgrade to the original database and added a number of new fields. This means that on the older records not all of the fields will have been filled in.
When I select date the drop down boxes below overwrite the calendar for the date field, so I can't select a date.
We are aware of this problem, and it occurs with browsers below Internet Explorer 7. You can still enter the date manually in the dd/mm/yyyy format.
I have run a search under Regional Spatial Strategy and no records have been returned.
Some of the fields are new and therefore very few appeals will be on the system which are recorded under this category. Other new fields include Obligations and Facility Type.
I click on view letter and nothing happens.
You must have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your PC to view the letter. If you already have this, but you still can't read the document, go to the Adobe site and install the latest version of Reader.

A healthy culture is important to AEP because a highly engaged workforce naturally creates a better experience for our customers, and business outcomes that benefit our shareholders. The ingenuity and creativity of our employees will help us reinvent ourselves for the future.
Over the past decade, we have made great progress in injury/illness prevention by providing employees with training, tools, resources and data to prevent harm. Although AEP's performance is good compared to our industry peers – we want to move from good to great in Zero Harm. In 2016, we will pursue Zero Harm by focusing our efforts on:
To achieve Zero Harm, our five-year plan is grounded in communication and action. We have committed to:
To help us enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of AEP's safety and health management system, we hired DuPont Sustainable Solutions to complete a comprehensive evaluation of AEP's safety and health culture. The DuPont Integrated Safety Management System model was used to benchmark AEP's safety management system against companies with world-class performance.
The evaluation consisted of a company-wide safety and health perception survey, site visits, a review of safety management system documents, interviews with key AEP stakeholders, and workplace observations and discussions with front-line employees. The assessment identified several areas of strengths as well as areas for improvement.
We will continue to work to close these gaps in 2016, which will strengthen the foundation for safety going forward. These initiatives will enable a Zero Harm culture; allow us to implement a consistent organization-wide solution and sustain the results we achieve.

Being anonymous means being an element in a whole. It means sharing a collective space without any obligation of exposure. It means walking down the street not looking in the eye of other anonymous. Time crosses void at this non-places where we all pass through. Looking for a sign as a direction.
How to apart private space from public space? In a society that aims the dissipation of all barriers — time, space, mass — the reality and the virtual solve into each other, as any other chemical substance into our blood. At any attempt to cut flesh surface, what is external becomes internal. The body reacts. Reduce to cell. Reduce to pixel. The lowest particle of a whole.
"Alone a pixel is powerless. It is a character that only has value seen as a part of a large crowd." Maeda@Media
You'll be watched at every move. You'll be watched at every thought. At arrival and departure places. There is a global conscience that controls the system. And then, your place of destination suddenly changes. The body as a arrival place. The body as a departure place. The body as a non-place. The body as the ultimate place of existence. The airport is an universal sign of lost identity and standard behavior, it is a symbol of progress in a collective memory: the anonymous meeting point.
Image is the first thing that pops up into the eye. Nobody reacts to the static anymore. The medium generation needs continuous visual stimulation. The spectator sits in front of a big screen absorbing all its information without questioning it. Images become fast-food of today's society. They are easily consumed and thrown out. Images equal metaphors to inner-body emotions, scents, flavors and voices of our individual memory, that become standard information of the collective voice.
The voice-off is a global state of consciousness. The collective thought promoted by mass medium. The machine, as a system, sends subliminal personal messages to a large audience. The system's voice becomes our inner-voice. Your daily routine, a secret ritual that no-one assists to except yourself, turns into mechanical movements done in auto-pilot.
Cctv cameras break space barriers when invade the ultimate private place. Our body is the closed circuit that no one has the password to. In the other end, the public eye assumes as truth anything presented on a screen. The ultimate place of exposure. "And what do you do…? You sit and watch.", in Eye Spy.

Private War : Convoy to Darkness
Cutting Costs, Bending Rules, And a Trail of Broken Lives
Sunday, July 29, 2007
BAGHDAD -- The convoy was ambushed in broad daylight last Nov. 16, dozens of armed men swarming over 37 tractor-trailers stretching for more than a mile on southern Iraq's main highway. The attackers seized four Americans and an Austrian employed by Crescent Security Group, a small private security firm. Then they fled.
None of the hostages has been found, eight months after one of the largest and most brazen kidnappings of Americans since the March 2003 invasion.
Crescent is shuttered, like dozens of other companies that have come and gone in Iraq's booming market for private security services. The firm leaves behind a trail of broken lives and a record of alleged misconduct. In March, the U.S. military barred Crescent from U.S. bases after it was found with weapons prohibited for private security companies, including rocket launchers and grenades, according to documents and interviews with former Crescent employees and U.S. officials.
An investigation by The Washington Post found that Crescent violated U.S. military regulations while being paid millions of dollars to support the U.S.-led mission in Iraq. The company routinely sacrificed safety to cut costs. On the day of the kidnappings, just seven Crescent guards protected the immense convoy as it drove through southern Iraq, a force that security experts described as inadequate to fend off a major attack.
Former senior managers with Crescent denied any wrongdoing and said the guards who were seized had been well equipped and simply failed to thwart the kidnappers.
"We pretty much catered to them. We spoiled them," said Scott Schneider, the company's former director of security. "You know, basically the operators screwed up," he added. "I mean, you hate to speak ill of people, but the way the situation transpired, they just made mistake after mistake" as the convoy came under attack.
Schneider oversaw Crescent's security operations for more than two years, despite having pleaded guilty, according to court records, to misdemeanor charges of breaking and entering and domestic violence in Michigan in the mid-1990s. Under U.S. law, it is a felony for domestic violence offenders to carry firearms, a prohibition that was adopted by the Defense Department for military and civilian personnel.
Crescent's managing partner, Franco Picco, said he fired Schneider, who earned $10,000 a month, after becoming aware of his criminal background shortly after the kidnappings.
Based in Kuwait City, about an hour from Iraq's southern border, Crescent was formed in 2003, part of a security industry that mushroomed overnight in Iraq in response to troop shortages and mounting insurgent attacks. By this year, the Private Security Company Association of Iraq, a trade group based in Baghdad's Green Zone, listed 177 active foreign and Iraqi security companies. The Pentagon has said that some 20,000 security contractors support the U.S.-led coalition, although some estimates are considerably higher.
The industry is largely unregulated by the U.S. and Iraqi governments, leaving companies to establish their own standards for operating on the battlefield.
This article is based on two eyewitness accounts of the ambush, company documents and interviews with former Crescent employees, including the four missing Americans. Two weeks before they were taken, the men expressed growing concern for their personal safety to a reporter traveling with them in Iraq.
"We're not the badasses we used to think we were," said one of them, Paul Reuben, now 40, a former Marine from Buffalo, Minn., sitting in his Kuwait City dormitory on the eve of a convoy mission. "I realize I'm vulnerable."

Mitsubishi unveiled plug-in-hybrid concept vehicle XR-PHEV
12/6/14 4:00 am chumakdenis 2
Mitsubishi brought this angular plug-in hybrid crossover XR-PHEV to the LA Auto Show to showcase the brand's new design direction. But it's also here to make a statement: "Mitsubishi is here to stay in the United States."
The crossover has innovative styling and performance-oriented drivetrain to provide a pleasant driving experience.
With exterior anger echoing the Lexus NX and starship interior loaded with LCD screens, the XR-PHEV concept certainly looks the part of the futurist
It is powered by 1.1-liter inline 3-cylinder turbo engine capable of producing 134 horsepower while a 14 kilowatt-hour (kWh) lithium ion battery is capable of producing 161 horsepower.
The combination of the turbo engine and lithium ion battery can push the vehicle to produce 294 horsepower, and provide 65 mpg in hybrid mode.
Augmented Reality Windshield
Mitsubishi has used AR (Augmented Reality) Windshield which is capable of displaying navigation directions, distances to the vehicle ahead, and highlight pedestrians and vehicles on the path of the car.
It also features Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control, which is capable of informing the status of traffic light ahead.
Mitsubishi Motors North America executive vice president Don Swearingen said: "We brought the Concept XR-PHEV to LA so that we could talk about our new design direction and how future products will be taking clues from its dynamic lines."
"We also brought it to LA to reinforce the message that Mitsubishi is here to stay in the United States."
"As we regrow the brand we will introduce new models while updating existing ones, creating a new look and a new value proposition for the brand."
P.S.Mitsubishi has made plenty of good vehicles over the years, but have had a lot of trouble making serious sales in America and Europe recently. Will aggressive styling and a Star Trek style human-machine interface be enough to really reboot the brand?

you really should roast your own coffeePosted: November 11, 2009 Filed under: coffee roasting 5 Comments »
It's not hard. And you get used to the flavor of fresh coffee. Green beans are half the price of roasted beans, even when you buy them one pound at a time. I don't do that, though. Why, when green coffee doesn't go bad? It will last on the shelf for years, though it will lose some zing. Buying once a year, when the harvest comes in, suits me. I roast once or twice a week, because after a week, even whole roasted beans, stored well, no longer really seem worth drinking. The only downside, as I see it, is that if you prefer a darker roast, it can smoke up your kitchen a little. But probably, roasting your own, you will lose interest in a dark roast. It cooks the nuances out of beans, makes them all taste the same. I still roast dark time to time but only in fair weather.
How do I do it? I've tried a number of techniques, and found that the best one (shy of investing in appliances) is also the easiest:Â
Bring oven to ~500 degrees.
Spread green coffee-beans one deep on something like a cookie sheet. (I generally use a bread pan.)
Bake for 10-15 minutes, until it is about the color you want.
Cover, let cool, blow off the chaff.
This method yields beans good enough that I am never excited to find myself in a city with a famous roaster, though I love a good coffee. I rarely travel without some green beans now. It is bad to be stuck without fresh beans.
Some roasters will sell you green beans, also some homebrew supply shops and fancy groceries. I mail-order mine from sweetmarias.com, also a good source for more information.
Here is Facts for Farmers (1863) on roasting coffee:
"It should be roasted very evenly, of a light brown color, and used very soon afterward, as it loses value every day after it is roasted, and after it is ground it will become almost worthless by a few days' exposure to the air. . . . Roasting coffee in a room will always disinfect it of bad effluvia*. . . . In roasting coffee, first dry it gently in an open pan until it changes color, and then cover the pan and scorch it rapidly without charring a grain."
*This is true. My house is constructed such as that skunks like to live under it, and inevitably several times a year there will be a spray that will render it unlivable for days. At such times, I always roast a big batch of coffee, and it always helps.
And Pellegrino Artusi (1891):
"It's best to increase the heat gradually and therefore use wood rather than coal as a heat source, since it's easier to regulate. When the beans begin to sizzle and smoke, shake the toaster continuously. Remove it from the heat when the beans have turned chestnut brown, and before they emit their oil. . . . Toast the beans a little at a time, and keep them in a tightly closed metal container, grinding them as necessary, because they lose their aroma easily."
And The Original Picayune Creole Cook Book (Ninth edition, reprinted from the fifth edition of 1928):
"One of the first essentials is to 'Parch the Coffee Grains Just Before Making the Coffee,' because coffee that has been long parched and left standing loses its flavor and strength. The coffee grains should 'Be Roasted to a Rich Brown,' and never allowed to scorch or burn, otherwise the flavor of the coffee is at once affected or destroyed. . . . after the coffee has been roasted and allowed to cool in a covered dish, so that none of the flavor will escape, the coffee is ground[.]"

Delhi is two cities made up of Old Delhi and New Delhi. Between the two cities the Raj Ghat Shrine has the Mahatma Gandhi memorial. New Delhi's well-planned out streets make it easy to explore. The Raj Path, the main road, leads up to the president's home, the Rashtrapati Bhavan with its beautiful gardens.
The best period for visiting is October to March. For visiting during festival time, the Holi spring festival takes place in March. The date changes but depends on the Hindu calendar. This is a very joyful festival of colour with feasts, music, dance and parties, celebrating good's victory over evil.
On August 15th Independence Day is celebrated with a huge parade in Delhi, commemorating India's independence from the British Empire in 1947.
A visa is necessary and obtainable from the Indian High Commission. Verify that your passport is valid for at least 180 days at the time you make your application. There must be two blank pages in your passport for the visa.
Check to see if you require a polio vaccination. A certificate is necessary if you are arriving from a selection of countries. Diphtheria, tetanus, typhoid and hepatitis A are among the recommended vaccinations.
For their security, women should be especially vigilant when travelling alone. As for the cost of living in Delhi, prices are much cheaper than in the UK. Prices for quality electronics are very similar.
The time zone for Delhi is India Standard Time which, during the UK winter, is UTC/GMT +5:30. As India doesn't have daylight saving time, Delhi is UTC/GMT +4:30 during the UK summertime.
Between 4.40 and 23.30 Metro Line 2 runs from Indira Gandhi International Airport to the centre. Or a shuttle bus is in service from the airport to Connaught Place. The other option is a prepaid taxi.
For accommodation, a hostel or guest house will cost approximately 500 INR upwards per night. There are cheap three star hotels which average at around 1400 INR per person per night.
For getting about in Delhi there's a cheap public transport network comprising metro, rickshaws and buses. You will find taxi fares far less expensive than in the UK.

Walter Braunfels is a composer whose music died twice: Once when the Nazis declared his music "degenerate art". Then again when post-war Germany had little use for the various schools of tonal music; when the arbiters of taste considered any form of romantic music – almost the whole pre-war aesthetic – to be tainted. Post-war Europe had experienced (or rather: been prescribed) an aesthetic paradigm shift. Walter Braunfels had a hand at drama and his operas demonstrate his careful consideration of texts. This also shines through in his songs, with which he learned his craft and all but two of which he composed prior to The Birds. Marlis Petersen, whose fascination with Braunfels' "unique tonal language of a totally transparent structure and large late-romantic nature" began with two songs she got to sing earlier in her career, considers the Federspiele to be "real jewels of the art of Lied: simple, deeply touching airs."
