Here's a quick and easy design for mini-bleachers for stuffed animals. My wife has TONS of these Ty beanies and no place to display them properly, so I came up with this design. We have two cubic style dressers, so I designed these in Sketchup to fit on one. I plan to make two, but I'll need to talk with her to see if she wants any design changes after this. I used millimeters in my file because I find it easiest to work with, as opposed to inches. You'll see inches on my most of my tools because that's what's normal around here. I've included the sketchup file so you can follow along! Lets take a look at what's needed to accomplish this!
Step 1: Get Your Tools and Wood!
I used cherry and red oak. I was meaning to go for two contrasting woods so I SHOULD have gone with white oak, but we live and learn! Use whatever wood suits your fancy. Pine and poplar would be easy to use, and because it's a display the softer woods won't sustain a lot of abuse. The wood pictured here (5.5 board feet of cherry and 6 board feet of red oak) is enough for two bleachers and cost me $28 from my local hardwood dealer.
MISC: Marking Knife (My X-Acto Knife), and a mallet (that wood cuttoff is my mallet, I don't have a "real" one yet).
You'll also need a surface to work on, a shooting board, and clamps. I used my mini-workbench I made from video tutorials as well as a home-made shooting board. A vise is handy too.
I started with my cherry wood, which make up my side-posts/supports. I referenced my Sketchup File and cut a little longer than my longest piece: 425mm. You should always cut larger than you need in case you make mistakes. You can always take away lumber but you can't add it back. My lumber was large enough square that I was able to get four side posts out of it, but if it was not I would have had to cut a longer piece to accommodate.
Plane your wood down so you have a flat surface. Most hardwood comes rough-cut from a large supplier, however, you can save yourself this step if you're willing to spend a little extra for pre-planed boards at your box stores. I used my larger Stanley plane for this. I didn't need to go down to my smaller block plane.
After you have a flat surface you need to Joint the board. Jointing, plainly put, is creating a flat surface perpendicular to your already flat surface. You use a combination of planing and jointing to create a square piece of stock. Mine didn't get perfectly square, but i'm just beginning so i'm not worried about it - i will get better at it the more often I do it.
You should now have a large block of wood. Cutting this down will allow you to create your four side posts. I measured slightly wider than what my dimensions called for again for my margin of error. To get my four posts, I measured twice as thick as my sides had to be so I could cut it in half, then half again. In other words, I cut the post down the middle twice - just imagine a cross on the end of the board and you'll get the idea (figures 5 through 7).
My plans called for 25mm wide supports, but I had been a bit too vigorous in my planing earlier and only had 48mm to work with (figure 1 and 2). It isn't a big deal if your lumber is not exactly as you planned as long as you are comfortable adjusting your plans going forward. I cut my wood down to four 24mm wide supports instead.
I made sure to use the "ripping" side of my Japanese pull saw (figure 3). The ripping side is the side with chisel like teeth. The other side, "crosscut," has teeth like a shark. The ripping saw is designed to cut with the grain.
I used my marking gauge to pre-mark where I wanted to saw (figure 4). This helps you visualize where you want to saw and actually makes it easier to saw in a straight line.
Again, i'm fairly new so I made mistakes in sawing, as seen in picture four. I "hid my crimes" by planing out these mistakes later. This, again, made my lumber thinner than my design but I was still able to work with it.
Plane your four supports flat, level, and square with each other (figures 8 and 9). My work surface didn't allow me to do all four at once, so I made do by planing three, then planing the last one to match. It's not ideal but it's what I had to work with.
To finish fine-tuning your support stock, square one end of your shorter posts. Figure 10 shows me squaring using a home-made shooting board, which holds the stock at 90 degrees to my plane. I run my plane along the end of the board and it makes it square. After, trim your other end to slightly longer than needed with your cross cut saw. You can use your marking knife (I used my X-Acto knife, figure 11) to mark a line across your board before you trim it with your cross cut saw (figure 12). Marking it with a marking knife works just like a marking guage. Next, square the other end. I didn't bother squaring the ends of my two longer support braces because they get cut to angles in the final design.
You should now have two shorter bottom supports and two longer top supports. The bottom supports should be square on all sides, but the top supports don't need their ends square.
I used my T-Bevel to mark my angles. My digital T-bevel shows the degree at which the slide is at (figure 1), but if you don't have a digital one, a protractor and a regular sliding T-bevel works just as well. My plans called for 35 degrees. I set my T-bevel to the correct angle, marked one post, then while I still had my angle set, marked the other posts (figure 2 and 3). Using the tool to mark all the angles at once ensures accuracy and the angles are all the same.
I measured to make sure I didn't start cutting too far back (figure 4), then I started cutting my tenon for my "corner bridle joint" (figure 5). A corner bridle joint connects two ends of wood and allows for long-grain to long-grain connection, which is a strong bond with glue.
I cut the "mortise" (negative space) on the shorter, bottom supports first (figure 6), then cut the tenons (positive space) on the upper supports (figure 7). To do this, I measured the widths of the support, divided by three and rounded to the nearest whole number. Here, the dimension was 24mm, so the third was 8mm. If they were 23mm thick, I would have still used 8mm to keep things simple. I found the center of the board, then measured out each way 4mm. This ensures the mortise and tenon is in the center of the support. When you mark these, be sure to choose a reference face (I used the inside face) and STICK TO IT. This will ensure your joints line up. I had plenty of wood to trim after connecting them, but that's a happier accident than not having enough.
Glue the mortise and tenon together and you have your frame (figure 8). Lets get busy with the seats while the glue dries.
I say seats, but these are bleachers so they are really boards. My red oak came pre-planed (but not pre-finished, so it still needs smooth planed and sanded). The lumber was 24mm wide (figure 1) by 60cm. My diagram called for 100mm wide boards, so I measured that out (plus a little extra for errors!) and cut those first (figure 2 and 3). This leaves us with two 24mm by 100mm boards, so I marked a line down the middle of the thin side (24 down to 12) and started cutting. This was a terribly long task and my Japanese pull saw kept binding (figure 5). I got blisters from this. I would highly suggest a true "rip" saw, or if it weren't a hand-tool only project, a bandsaw. Ripping this down took the longest of this project.
With my lumber I was left over with a piece just the right size for the back brace for my top seat (figure 6).
Plane and joint your boards. I explained how to do this with the cherry, so if you need a refresher, hop on back to that step. My diagram called for a forty-five degree bevel on the front of the seat. I chose a thin side and measured its thickness, then marked that distance from the short side (figure 1). I used my Stanley plane to create the bevel (figure 2). I also trimmed down the top too just a little, no need for this to be razor (figure 3).
Square an end of each board. I marked a right angle on my boards to help me tell me I got it squared with the planer (figure 4). A helpful tool was my block plane. The lower angle helps reduce tear-out when squaring your ends. Measure the length you need. From the diagram, my measurement is 725mm. I cut down to near this line, then squared with the planer from there.
I made plenty of mistakes planing these thin boards, most notably was trying to plane against the grain. This causes the board fibers to tear out rather than shave off. I sanded with 220 grit paper to help hide these errors (figure 5).
Trim your top support to the correct distance and angle, and plane it down. I don't have a shooting board for this angle, so I just eyeballed it (figure 1).
Now you need to mark all your mortises on the supports. I referenced my diagram a lot here. The rear corner of the seat starts 10mm up from the inner corner of the bridle joint on the support (figure 2). Then I just measured the same distance from the edge all the way up the top support, that way the seats all start the same distance inset from the edge.
My diagram called for a slight 5 degree tilt to the seat to ensure the beanies stayed in their seat, so I marked this with my T-bevel (figure 3). Each seat starts about 100mm up the inset from the last, so I marked these at this time too.
I used my seats to mark down their exact width on the supports. I had to decide which seat will be in what order, and I had to keep them that way, to make sure the measurement was true. I placed the board's back bottom edge at the "x" on the support, aligned with the 5 degree tilt, outlined the board (figure 4). I used my marking knife and gauge to get consistent depths.
Chisel out your waste. This step took the second longest, and was the loudest by far. Be sure to take out a little out a time and don't rush it, otherwise you risk tearing out large portions of the wood (figure 5). I test fit my seats at regular intervals to ensure I was chiseling to the right depth and width (figure 6).
I test fit all my pieces when I had all the mortises cut. It's a good idea to do this before finishing your pieces or trying to glue up, just in case you made a mistake. My pieces don't fit perfect, but i'm happy with it (figure 1).
Sand your pieces down, if you wish (figure 2). I definitely did because I made quite a few accidents. Ideally, if you can plane well enough you don't need to sand. A planed finish is beautiful but hard to do.
Get your clamps ready! I only have two clamps long enough for this, but it is enough (figure 3). Then just glue up the joints and assemble. I used sacrificial pieces of wood between the clamps and the project so the clamps wouldn't mar up my mini-bleachers (figure 4).
Here the stands are completed. They aren't oiled or sealed yet, I'm still deciding what will look best in our room. She fit nearly all of her beanies on one mini-bleacher, so now she says she has to get more for when I finish the second mini-bleacher! Oh boy.
That is so cute. My kids would love one of these.

i love this portable charger!
i use this portable charger almost everyday! when my phone battery gets low, i just pull this portable charger out of my purse and use it! I love it so much and everyone else should too!!!!
I Chose the LMNT Portable Phone Charger, because it's small and I could charge my phone at school, encase I forget my charger.
Really useful to have around.
I needed a portable phone charger broski.
got it for a friend, he loved it!!!
I picked the portable phone charger for those times I find myself in the waiting room - at the DMV, dentist, or what-have-you - and my phone battery is giving way to my boredom. Happens all too often.
I chose this item because just in case one day I forget my actual phone charger at home and I'm somewhere on the go and my phone is dying then I can always have this cute little portable charger with me everywhere I go.
How do you charge the portable charger?
BEST ANSWER: It comes with a wire to charge it ??
Can You charge A cell phone without plugging it in?
It's red for a second then blue when charging???
BEST ANSWER: Yes. You have to give it a complete 4-5 hour or overnight charge before you can use it to charge your phone. It however wouldnt charge mine because i have an android i think that charger is only for iphones.
What does it mean when both the red and blue light are on at the same time when charging it?
BEST ANSWER: I Don't think both the blue and red light are supposed to be on at the same time. Usually just the red light should be on and once it's done charging thats when the blue light should turn on and the red turns off.
I don't think so because it didn't work even after being plugged in for 6 hours. Thanks.
It's red and blue when charging it??
BEST ANSWER: Red is charging, blue is fully charged. Hope this helps.
how do i use the charger ?

How did your friend get on at the Media Expo at the end of last year? Was her trip successful? Do you have any examples of her work?
She had a good show, apparently. She's working with other people trying to help Japan bounce back and do other good deeds, so she's off in a good direction. I don't get on Skype much anymore (too many requests to help people with English for free, life's too crowded for that sadly) so I haven't talked to her much, but apparently she's doing well.

Local 727 Executive Board Elected to New Term
teamsters727 | November 6, 2019
Teamsters Local 727 Executive Board (from left): Vice President Darryl Poelinitz, Trustee Jose Delgado, President Curt Ziedrich, Secretary-Treasurer John Coli, Jr., Trustee Patrice Jefferson, Trustee Anthony Wendel, and Recording Secretary William Coli.
On Sunday, November 3, 2019, the Executive Board of Teamsters Local 727 was elected to a new three-year term by an enthusiastic gathering of the Local 727 membership.
The Unity Slate, under the leadership of Secretary-Treasurer John Coli, Jr. and comprised of all current Local 727 Executive Board members, ran without opposition and won re-election by acclamation.
John Coli, Jr. remains Local 727's Secretary-Treasurer and principal officer. He has been a member of Teamsters Local 727 for over twenty years, serving first as President of the Union for seven years before being appointed to the position of Secretary-Treasurer in 2017. Secretary-Treasurer Coli is also the Chairman of the Teamsters Local 727 Benefit Funds, including the Teamsters Local Union No. 727 Health and Welfare Fund, the Teamsters Local Union No. 727 Pension Fund, and the Teamsters Local Union No. 727 Legal and Educational Assistance Fund, the Soft Drink Industry Pension Fund, and the Teamsters Local 727 Trade Show 401(k) Plan, as well as a member of the Illinois AFL-CIO Executive Board, the Parking Industry Labor Management Committee, and the Illinois Bar.
Local 727 President Curt Ziedrich, Vice President Darryl Poelinitz, Recording Secretary Bill Coli, and Trustees Tony Wendel, Patrice Jefferson, and Jose Delgado will also retain their positions.
Thanks to Secretary-Treasurer Coli's renewed focus on organizing, Local 727's membership has grown steadily under the Executive Board's leadership. In the past two years alone, the Union has organized seven new bargaining units, welcoming nearly 300 workers to the Local 727 family.
In addition to fighting for fair first contracts for the Union's newest members, Secretary-Treasurer Coli has diligently worked to strengthen and enforce the collective bargaining agreements covering all Local 727 members. No matter the challenge posed by corporate giants like Keurig Dr Pepper or Coca-Cola, regardless of the bad faith tactics utilized by employers like Standard Parking or MV Transportation, the Executive Board has stood behind Local 727 members at the negotiating table, on the ULP strike line, and throughout the grievance and arbitration process until fair treatment and justice were secured.
"As our Union continues to grow, so too does our power to negotiate and enforce the contracts of each and every one of our hardworking Local 727 Brothers and Sisters," said Secretary-Treasurer Coli. "There is no better way to protect workers than to ensure they have a fair contract and a strong Union backing them up."
The Local 727 Benefit Funds have also prospered under the careful watch of the Funds Trustees, including Secretary-Treasurer Coli. Because of the financial success and stability of the Teamsters Local Union No. 727 Pension Plan, the Union was successfully able to negotiate the merger of the Local 727 Pension Plan and the Chicago Newspaper Publishers Drivers Union Pension Fund, thereby saving the pensions of approximately 850 participants, including the pensions of Local 727-represented Chicago Tribune delivery drivers.
"Our Executive Board officers have worked hard to support, protect, and improve the lives of the members of our great Union. We have dedicated ourselves to the fight for fairness, equality, and respect for all workers," said Coli. "I am humbled by the unity of our membership and grateful for their continued trust and support."
The Executive Board will be officially sworn in during the Union's December general membership meeting on Sunday, December 15. The Local 727 Executive Board's new three-year term will begin on January 1, 2020.
"While there may be challenges and fights ahead, together we have the power to overcome all obstacles," added Secretary-Treasurer Coli. "The Local 727 Executive Board, business agents, and staff remain committed to providing our Local 727 Brothers and Sisters with the exceptional representation, unparalleled assistance, and unwavering support that they deserve."
Teamsters Local 727 represents over 10,000 hardworking men and women throughout the Chicago area.

An associated application, LDA17-0458, to amend the Glenridding Ravine Neighbourhood Structure Plan, has been submitted to align with the proposed rezoning.
A planning application (map) has been made to amend a portion of the Glenridding Ravine Neighbourhood Structure Plan (NSP).
The application proposes to allow approximately 3 hectares of row housing east of Rabbit Hill Road SW and south of Glenridding Boulevard SW. The area currently allows for low-density residential housing.
An administrative amendment to include a small pathway in the northern portion of the neighbourhood is also proposed with this application.
A planning application (map) has been approved to rezone 3245 170 Street SW. The site is located east of 170 Street SW and south of Rabbit Hill Road SW in the Glenridding area.
The application is to rezone from Agricultural Zone (AG) to Public Parks Zone (AP), Public Utilties Zone (PU), Low Rise Apartment Zone (RA7) and Residential Mixed Dwelling Zone (RMD). The approved zoning will accommodate the development of low and medium-density residential development, a park, and a portion of a storm water pond.
The application also includes an associated amendment to the Glenridding Ravine Neighbourhood Structure Plan (25MB) to facilitate the rezoning.
The amendment proposes to relocate a public park and replace a site designated as low-density residential with medium-density residential in the northwest corner of the site.

Jonathan Jose Ruiz, 22, broke into the house in the city of Orange and downloaded some lewd material in a laptop that was recovered with semen on it.He pleaded guilty in court and accepted a plea deal that was offered by Orange County Superior Court Judge Gary Pohlson.
In a bizarre turn of events, a man in California has been sentenced to more than six years in prison after he reportedly broke into the house of three female students and used their laptops to download pornography before committing a sexual act.
While the download was on, the thief even helped himself to some refreshments, according to a LadBible report.

He pleaded guilty in court and accepted a plea deal that was offered by Orange County Superior Court Judge Gary Pohlson. Jonathan was sentenced to six years and eight months imprisonment. The incident took place in October 2018.
According to Phil McMullin, of Orange Police Department, Jonathan not only entered the house and downloaded porn but also ate milk and cookies. Upon his arrest, he was found in possession of two pairs of underwear belonging to the college students living in the house he invaded.

The police was able to track him down using his DNA because it was already on file since Ruiz was convicted of vandalising the toilets at El Modena High School in Orange back in 2017, according to his court records.
During October 2017, Ruiz had pleaded guilty to counts of misdemeanor, vandalism and possession of graffiti devices.

For that, he was sentenced to 30 days in prison, as well as being made to perform 200 hours of community service, during which time he was specifically told to remove graffiti.


Monster gets this party started by updating Wine, and you dear listeners, about his post-op, root canal recovery. It's not all flowers and unicorn farts, trust me. Wine spent some time in Vegas recently and recounts a tale of a bus ride, and more importantly, a questionable individual on said bus. There's a bit of an update on Wine's M.I.A. Christmas present, but it doesn't really clear anything up. It creates more questions than it answers, as they say in television crime dramas. That Dragon, Cancer, a new PC/Mac game is discussed, as it is in no way your typical "game," but more of a therapeutic (for the creators anyway) method of interactive storytelling. A big ol' bundle of wacky news wraps up the show this week.

AWR101 – Writing About TV
AWR101 Writing and Inquiry
Writing About TV
There was a time when television was regarded as an "idiot box," an enemy of education, reading, and critical thinking. The comedian Groucho Marx reportedly said, "I must say I find television very educational. The minute somebody turns it on, I go into the library and read a good book." Ray Bradbury, in his 1953 dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451, predicts a world in which books are banned and television deadens the minds of the masses. And in Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the Oompa Loompas sing a song advising parents,
The most important thing we've learned,
So far as children are concerned,
Is never, NEVER, NEVER let
Them near your television set–
Or better still, just don't install
The idiotic thing at all.
This line of critique—television makes us passive, stupid consumers—has never completely dissipated. But it has been challenged in recent years by a new wave of media studies which finds TV an important storytelling medium and a window into our culture and psychology. In this course, we'll read and write essays analyzing television as a historical artifact and an art form. Our guiding question: what does it mean to watch TV without turning our brains off?

Course Policies: FAQ
Q: What should I call you?
A: You can call me Dr. Hovanec or Professor Hovanec. Dr. H. is fine too! Not Mrs. Hovanec; that's my mom.
Q: Okay! Dr. H., what happens if I miss class?
A: Attendance is required. If you do miss a class, you are responsible for catching up—I won't track you down to let you know what you missed. Students who miss more than two full weeks (six classes) are in danger of failing the course and should consider dropping.
If you miss a quiz or other in-class activity, you can make it up for credit only if you have a documented excuse. Absences are excused in the following situations: you are ill and have a doctor's note; you are on a university sports team with an away game and have notified me of the absence in advance; or you are observing a religious holiday and have notified me in advance. I reserve the right to excuse absences in other extreme circumstances, but rarely do so. Please understand that if you miss class for work, family trips, or a friend's illness, these absences will not be excused, and plan accordingly.
Q: What about if I'm late?
A: I take attendance at the beginning of class, so if you're late you'll be marked absent. Also, if you're late you may miss important announcements, so make sure to check with a classmate to find out what you missed.
Q: I am indisposed and must miss class. Should I email you with a vivid description of my (typhoid fever/dysentery/cholera/broken bone/other malady)?
A: Please no. Save the vivid descriptions for your critical reflection essay.
Q: I'm really busy this week. Can I have an extension on my paper?
A: Nope. But I have a fairly tolerant late policy: 5% will be deducted for each day the paper is late, up to 7 days. After seven days, I will no longer accept the paper. This means that turning in one paper a day late will have a very small effect on your grade, lowering it by merely half a letter grade. But habitual lateness will add up and make a much bigger dent in your grade, so don't make a habit of it!
Q: I really want to become a better writer this semester. Do you have any suggestions?
A: Yes! Take advantage of the resources available to you here at UT. Visit the Saunders Writing Center; ask the librarians for help with research; attend my office hours to talk about essay ideas. When you read assigned texts for this class and other classes, pay attention to their writing styles and structures. Read like a writer. Ask your other professors if they have tips for writing, and remember that writing is a little bit different in every discipline.
Q: Can I use my laptop to take notes during class?
A: I strongly encourage students to keep their laptops closed during class and take notes by hand. This is for two reasons. First, computers and smartphones are chock full of distractions, and studies show that multitasking doesn't work; you can't learn effectively or really engage with class discussions if you're simultaneously browsing Instagram or emailing your mom. Second, research also suggests that we learn better and retain more when we take notes by hand rather than typing them.
In some circumstances, students may need to have laptops/phones out (e.g. if you have a sick family member and need to see incoming calls). So I don't ban these devices outright. But if you don't have a specific need to have your computer or phone out, I would invite you to put them away, engage with your classmates and me, and earn those discussion points!
Q: What is this MLA citation style I keep hearing about?
A: Oh, my sweet summer child. MLA is the Modern Language Association, a scholarly organization for people who teach literature, languages, and writing. They have guidelines for citing sources which are widely used in English classes. You can learn more by consulting the Purdue OWL, which has directions for citing every kind of source we'll be using in this class.
Q: Gosh, the OWL's citation guide looks really hard and boring. I'll just use this website my friend told me about instead; it's called (EasyBib/Citation Machine/Citefast) and it does the work for me.
A: Bad idea. Those websites are bad at extracting bibliographic data, and the works cited entries they generate are frequently wrong. Plus, if you don't do it yourself, you won't develop the familiarity with titles, authors, publishers, and dates that you need. Tedious as it may be, you need to take the time to put together your works cited entries yourself so you can make sure they're done right.
Q: I know that it's important to avoid plagiarism, but I'm not sure what exactly constitutes plagiarism. Can you clarify?
A: Good question! Here's what one of the old UT catalogues has to say about plagiarism; it's one of the most helpful and detailed explanations I've seen:
Plagiarism occurs when a person represents someone else's words, ideas, phrases, sentences or data as one's own work. When submitting work that includes someone else's words, ideas, syntax, data or organizational patterns, the source of that information must be acknowledged through complete, accurate and specific references. All verbatim statements must be appropriately acknowledged. To avoid a charge of plagiarism, a person should be sure to include an acknowledgment of indebtedness and reference to these sources directly in the text clearly associated with the material being cited and in a bibliography or "works cited" page (this does not apply to a "works consulted" list where the source might not have been incorporated into the student's text). Plagiarism can be said to have occurred without any affirmative showing that a student's use of another's work was intentional.
Examples of plagiarism include but are not limited to:
Acquiring a term paper or other assignment and submitting it as your own work.
Submitting a computer program, computer graphic, database, etc., as original work that duplicates, in whole or in part, without citation, the work of another.
Quoting, paraphrasing or even borrowing the syntax of another's words without acknowledging the source.
Incorporating facts, statistics or other illustrative material taken from a source, without acknowledging the source, unless the information is common knowledge.
Using another's ideas, opinions or theories even if they have been completely paraphrased in one's own words without acknowledging the source.
Listing a source in a bibliography or "works cited" page without specifically citing the material within the text that was extracted from the source.
When in doubt about whether your paraphrase, quotation, or citation is sufficient, feel free to ask me!
Q: Do we have a final exam in this class?
A: Yes, and you must take it during our scheduled time slot (for section I4, Wednesday, 12/14, 1:30-3:30pm; for section G, Monday, 12/12, 1:30-3:30pm). I cannot offer any alternate exam times except under the most extreme circumstances. For example, if you are a retired CIA operative who has personally been called back by the President to perform one last, top-secret mission with the fate of the planet at stake, I can probably accommodate you with an alternate exam time. If you just want to leave a day early for winter break, you're out of luck.
Q: Do you have any other tips for succeeding in this course? I really want to do well!
A: Sure! Do your readings, come to class prepared, ask and answer questions during class discussions, be respectful of your classmates, revise your essays carefully, and keep an open mind, and you'll do great. One more very specific tip: be prepared for a syllabus quiz on Wednesday, 9/6, which will include questions about the aforementioned course policies. Thanks for reading this far, and I hope you enjoy the class and learn a lot!

Little is known of the early years of the club other than it was founded in 1909 presumably as a local Darwen Borough amenity.
One picture does exist from these early days and shows views across to the Chadwick Gateway and views to the moors. Benches can be seen on what was the back garden of the Sunnyhurst café/tearooms located at the end cottage. This picture gives credence to the rumours that you could get an ice-cream and sit at the back garden of the tea-rooms and watch people bowling on the green.
The only reference I have obtained of any matches played during these early years is a newspaper cutting from the old Darwen News dated 29th August 1936. This was a challenge match between the Club and a team of Aldermen, Councillors and Officials of the Corporation .I have included the article below.
There does exsist a President's Cup with the first winner being a Mr.F. Sumner and dated 1928. Records of the winners are noted until 1939 (the beginning of the war) and then resumed in 1975. In 1992 this cup was replaced by the Jack Walker Cup and records are to date.
Four other competitions were initiated in 1991 these being Gents and Ladies singles, a club knock-out cup and a spring doubles cup with records of winners to date .
I have no information on when a pavilion was first added to the club but it was updated and re-furbished in 1995 and re-opened by Janet Anderson M.P.
If you know of anyone with any further recollections, information ,old photographs or memorabilia we would love to hear from you.

Jonathan commissions four new naval ships; promises to end terrorism
President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday in Lagos assured Nigerians of his commitment to routing the Boko Haram sect as he inaugurated four new ships acquired by the Nigerian Navy.
"Let me use this platform to promise my Nigeria country men and women that we will rout Boko Haram," Jonathan said at the Naval Dockyard Ltd in Victoria Island venue of the inauguration.
"Our capacity has increased sufficiently and our officers and men are doing wonderfully well in the north and we must conduct our elections as scheduled by INEC.
"I commend the Chief of Naval Staff, Vice-Admiral Usman Jibrin, Chief of Defence Staff, Alex Badeh and other service chiefs, officers and ratings who have made this inauguration possible," he said.
Jonathan, who said crude oil theft had reduced, added that he was delighted to witness the inauguration of the four new ships that were added to the Nigerian Navy fleet.
"As the lead maritime security agency, therefore, the Nigerian Navy deserves all the support it needs to effectively carry out its statutory roles.
"The four ships being inaugurated today are part of a total of eight ships that are expected to be commissioned into the NN fleet in 2015," he said.
The President said the inauguration gave him the opportunity to once again reaffirm his confidence in the competence and commitment of the officers and ratings in the Nigerian Navy.
After inaugurating the ships, Jonathan proceeded into NNS Centenary, alongside senior officers, ministers, Oba of Lagos and some members of the Navy Officers Wives Association (NOWA) for inspection.
In his speech, Jibrin also said the Nigerian Navy would not have achieved the meaningful progress it had made in its fleet re-capitalisation effort without the active support of the Federal Government.
He thanked the president for his resolve to emplace strong and a virile Navy capable of protecting Nigeria's maritime interest against all forms of threat.
The new naval ships named NNS Centenary, NNS Prosperity, NNS Okpabana and NNS Sagbama were handed over to their commanding officers at the ceremony.
Jibrin handed over the ships to Capt. CD Okehie, Capt. MY Abba, Capt. AM Ibrahim and Capt. BK Effiong respectively.
According to the CNS, NNS Okpabana is to be enrolled in the NN as a frigate with capabilities for long endurance patrol of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
"The NNS Centenary's main mission will include maritime surveillance, EEZ, patrol and response task and protection of offshore resources and infrastructure.
"The Centenary is to also provide aid to civil authority when called upon to do so in period such as civil unrest and natural disaster among others.
"NNS Sagbama is a river town patrol vessel, while NNS Prosperity is to be enrolled into the NN as a training ship for junior officers and ratings," he said.
Dignitaries present at the event included Minister of Defence, Aliyu Gusau, Chief of Army Staff, Kenneth Minimah, Chief of Defence Staff, Alex Badeh and Chief of Air Staff, Adesola Amosu,
Others were the Oba of Lagos, Riliwan Akiolu, members of the diplomatic corps, and ministers.

The Bank of Sierra Leone has issued (21st January) new crown coins which cheerfully mark the Lunar Year of the Pig with a little help from the game world's irreverent and popular Angry Birds. Issued by the Bank of Sierra Leone in conjunction with Rovio Entertainment Corporation, this new coin features Leonard, the king of Piggy Island in Angry Birds, with two of his pigs wishing you good fortune for the Chinese New Year.
Angry Birds hatched as a casual mobile game that has blossomed into one of the most beloved entertainment brands in the world, inspiring over a dozen games, billions of consumer products, several animated series, and a hit blockbuster movie. In the centre of the story is the epic battle between the flightless birds and the green pigs.
Why do they fight? Well, it's quite simple, because the pigs keep orchestrating new outlandish schemes for stealing the birds' eggs to bring back to their greedy king. But these eggs contain the birds' precious hatch-lings, which they must protect at all cost. Using whatever means necessary, the birds, led by the reclusive Red, must find a way to foil the plans of the pigs. However, on the coin, Leonard and his two helpers appear to have undergone a change of heart and are wishing us good luck during the Lunar Year of the Pig. Those born under the sign of the Pig are said to be warm-hearted, honest, and tolerant to others. They dislike quarreling so they usually get on well with everyone.
The coins are produced by the Pobjoy Mint, at their facilities in Surrey, England, on behalf of the Bank of Sierra Leone. Struck in cupro-nickel, and with a colour design on the reverse, this exclusive coin shows the three characters clutching eggs while standing on a cloud with the sun rising behind them.
The obverse of the coin features the crest of the Republic of Sierra Leone, which is centred in the middle of the coin with the text REPUBLIC OF SIERRA LEONE placed above the crest. The year of issue, 2019, is shown beneath the crest.
The coins are available for pre-issue ordering now with expected delivery occurring on the 28th January. They are packaged in a colourful folder with graphics replicating the design on the reverse side of the coin. For additional information about this coin and others issued by the Bank of Sierra Leone, please visit the website of the Pobjoy Mint.

Firm Named Top 10 Largest Product Liability Practice
Bowman and Brooke came in at #4 in the 2009 Law360 Litigation Almanac as one of the top 10 largest product liability practices in the U.S., and ranked #1 for the highest concentration of product liability lawyers!
Law360 surveyed U.S. firms with 100 or more lawyers, and then ranked them by number of cases for which the firms were retained as counsel over a one-year period. Press Release below.
Bowman and Brooke Ranked a Top Product Liability Firm in U.S.
National Law Firm Gains Further Recognition by Law360 Litigation Almanac
Minneapolis, MN (January 21, 2009) -Bowman and Brooke LLP, a national law firm with a long history of defending household name manufacturers in high stakes product liability cases for many of the nation's largest industries including automotive, recreational vehicle, industrial, consumer products and healthcare, was ranked Monday by the 2009 Law360 Litigation Almanac as having the fourth largest product liability practice based on the total number of lawyers of any other law firm in the nation. The Almanac also pinpointed the firm as having the highest concentration of product liability attorneys.
Law360, a daily legal newswire reportedly read by more than half of all lawyers at the largest 250 firms in the United States, surveyed U.S. firms with 100 or more lawyers, and then ranked them by number of cases for which the firms were retained as counsel over a one-year period. The Almanac is an authoritative source reporting on litigation trends in the United States.
"Bowman and Brooke is delighted that the Law360 Litigation Almanac has finally recognized what many of us have known for years," said Chair David Graves Jr. "Bowman and Brooke does have the largest concentration of product liability defense lawyers of any firm in the country, even firms with five and six times more lawyers, and the major Fortune 500 manufacturers that we defend have trusted us to defend them in every state in the nation."
About Bowman and Brooke
Beginning as a leading defense firm for automotive product liability cases, Bowman and Brooke LLP has become a nationally recognized trial firm that defends household name clients in widely publicized catastrophic injury and wrongful death verdicts, and other complex litigation involving a variety of products including ATVs, motorcycles, marine engines, farm equipment, aviation products, asbestos, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, building materials, power tools, chemicals, industrial equipment and more.
Today, Bowman and Brooke provides a well-established array of complementary core practice groups to its national product liability defense practice, including intellectual property litigation, construction litigation, consumer warranty litigation, as well as business and commercial litigation. The firm has offices in Minneapolis, Phoenix, Detroit, San Jose, Los Angeles, and Richmond.

Spinner ♥ Darcy #2: Because they won't let their past ruin their friendship.
I think I am ready to have some Dinner. You want to be added to the list? We're eating late...#51 and 52.
Sounds good to me. Yep, you can add me.
Were there ever any scenes with Spin and Darcy's parents?
I don't think there were. That's too bad.
I wonder what kind of parents they would be. Any cutest baby contests entered?
I loved these two. she was there for him when his friends shunned him.
I wonder if Shane ever makes it out to LA. He would be a fun one to have on a reaction video, like what Shenae did with Cassie. I wonder what scene they would give commentary to.
Hmm....maybe their first date? Or perhaps the other extreme and their interaction in Pass the Dutchie?

Q: Comparing current user to a meteor list I'm currently making a simple web app with meteor.js . I'm trying to implement a simple feature for my fantasy football league's custom site that I'm building.
Here's my code that's not working.
{{#each users}}
    {{#if Meteor.userId() {{_id}} }}
        {{> ownTradingBlock}}
    {{else}}
        {{> userTradingBlock}}
    {{/if}}
{{/each}}
So basically I want to render a different template if the user in the list of league members is the current user that is logged in. Does anybody have any thoughts on how this is creating an error, and/or if there's a better way to do it?
Here's the error code I'm getting.
.html:67 : expected space

A: You cannot use a Meteor method within Spacebars. For this you will need to create a helper:
Template.yourTemplate.helpers({
  isEq: function (id) {
    if (Meteor.userId() === id)
      return true;
    return false;
  }
});

Then in your template:
{{#each users}}
  {{#if isEq _id}} }}
    {{> ownTradingBlock}}
  {{else}}
    {{> userTradingBlock}}
  {{/if}}
{{/each}}

In order to do this, you need to choose low-calorie foods such as fruits and vegetables, low-fat dairy, whole grains, and lean proteins. These foods don't only help you lose weight, but also promotes healthy looking skin on face and body as well.
Also, you need to avoid foods high in sodium, and processed foods that cause water retention and subsequent ballooning of the face. You also need to avoid diuretics such as alcohol and caffeine and avoid dehydration that could also cause water retention as well. Cut down your consumption of these face-bloaters and always re-hydrate yourself with water.
If you have an average body and you have a "swollen face" maybe it's not your body weight but other conditions that cause you face to appear bloated.
Some of these are food allergies, the surging of progesterone hormone in women right before having their monthly period, hypothyroidism, and Cushing's syndrome. People who are taking steroid drugs can also have a bloated face.
Having a fat face can be an asset (chubby cheeks) or a liability (bloated face) to your personality depending on how you look at it. Being perfectly contented with your looks and physique is great but you also need to consider your overall health condition as well.


Vessel sizes on the Yangtze are increasing rapidly, although the average size is still low by international standards. By the end of 2006, there were 118,000 vessels sailing along the Yangtze River network, which includes its many tributatries. They had a combined total capacity of 39.65m dwt, giving an average size of just just 314 dwt per vessel.
If those vessels that sail along the Yangtze's tributaries – where water levels are generally lower than in the Yangtze trunkline –are excluded, the average size rises to 750 dwt. But even this is still much smaller than the vessels that sail on the Mississippi, for example.
In 2000, the Ministry of Communications (now the Ministry of Transport) began rolling out a long-term programme to standardise all vessels on rivers across China. The aim is to encourage the deployment of larger, more modern and specialised vessels. One year later, it issued a new regulation governing the age of vessels allowed on inland rivers, effectively withdrawing old vessels from service on a compulsory basis and subjecting ageing vessels to inspections. For example, cargo vessels are subject to inspections after 24 years and will be withdrawn after 30 years. In 2003, the ministry issued circulars that categorically banned oar-carrying motorboats, vessels made out of cement and wood, and any newly built or renovated but non-standard vessel of any kind from entering the upper river.
More information on the vessel standardisation programme can be found in Chapter 3 of Yangtze Transport 2008.
