1664, London
Life should be good for Major Thankful Russell and his new bride, Thomazine. Russell, middle-aged and battle-scarred, isn't everyone's idea of the perfect husband for an eligible young woman but the moment Thomazine set eyes on her childhood hero, she knew they were destined for one another.
But Russell, a former Roundhead, now working for the King's intelligence service, was never going to have a simple life in Restoration London.
Unable to shake suspicions of his Parliamentarian past, someone seems hell-bent on ruining his reputation — and his life.
Whispers about his sister's violent murder follow him and accusations of treason abound.
When more deaths occur Russell finds himself under suspicion.
He is ready to escape from the capital, but Thomazine is determined to find the truth and clear the name of the man she loves.
But who is the real killer and why are they so keen to frame Russell? More importantly, will they succeed?
And has Thomazine's quest put them all in mortal danger?
An Abiding Fire is the first book in the Thomazine and Major Russell Thriller series, compelling historical mysteries with a dash of romance, set in seventeenth century England.
'written in a deceptively light, easy style that draws the reader in, until you're frantically turning the pages to find out what happens, and the flavour, sights, sounds and smells of Restoration London, in all its crowded, often squalid vitality, leap into life. Highly recommended' - Pamela Belle
'everything in this book is utterly believable and solidly historical, right down to the gloriously funny dialogue and rather personal details…' - P F Chisholm
'a suspenseful read peppered with humour, and earthy language enough to lighten and lift the reader in between the more sinister elements as they unfold' - Romance Reviews Magazine
'London is brought vividly to life, the historical setting is impeccable, the plot is well-constructed, but it is the characters that make this book. Both Thomazine and Thankful step out of the pages to become real, believable, people. M. J. Logue has delivered an excellent read and I hope there will be many more books about Thomazine and Thankful—preferably sooner than later' – Discovering Diamonds

England, 1176. Aelred Barling, esteemed clerk to the justices of King Henry II, is dispatched from the royal court with his young assistant, Hugo Stanton, to investigate a brutal murder in a village outside York.

Facing growing unrest in the village and the fury of the lord of the manor, Stanton and Barling find themselves drawn into a mystery that defies logic, pursuing a killer who evades capture at every turn.
Can they solve the riddle of who is preying upon the villagers? And can they do it without becoming prey themselves?

Merlin: Sired by a demon and born of a human woman… This is no made-up tale, but the ORIGINAL story of Merlin from the year 1215 AD.
The devil wants a man on earth to work his evil plans. He decides to bring this about by impregnating a human woman. That woman, Meylinde, finds her life turned into a nightmare as a demon picks off her family one by one, until only she is left. Soon the demon's work is done—in a time when an illegitimate child incurs the punishment of death—and she is desperate to save her own life while thwarting the devil's plans for her child: a child that will become Merlin, the greatest wizard of all time.
Based on the oldest known accounts of Merlin, the Lancelot-Grail and Prose Merlin romances from around 1215 and 1450, this is Merlin's actual origin story, not some made-up tale. A work of horror and fantasy, filled with wonder and wit, this book brings the bizarre and weird world of the 15th century, where magic was as real as the air we breathe, to life for the present day.
This is the first book in the series The Swithen, which retells the original tales of Merlin, King Arthur, Guinevere and the of Knights of the Table Round in exciting versions interpreted for modern readers.

Derek Wilson is giving away a copy of his new release, The Devil's Chalice:
The Real Crime
In the steaming summer of 1549 two men languish in the Tower of London. William West is accused of attempted murder. Robert Allen is under investigation for dabbling in the Black Arts. Meanwhile, England is in the grip of rebellions against the boy king, Edward VI. The connections between these facts remains a mystery.
Our Story
London goldsmith, Thomas Treviot, is sent by his patron, Archbishop Cranmer, to discover discreetly what connections West has with leading figures at court. But Thomas has problems of his own: his teenage son has gone off to Norwich to join rebels led by Robert Kett. Trying to find his son and please Cranmer, he is plunged into dangers from peasant mobs, London gangsters and political chicanery, not to mention an enemy wielding occult power...
Once again, D.K. Wilson bases his story on documented facts in order to evoke the feverish atmosphere of 1549's 'summer of discontent' in which magic was as real to people as mob violence and political scheming.

June 12th is the anniversary of the death of Aethelflaed, Lady of the Mercians, and June 19th marks 1100 years since her attack on the fort on Llangorse Lake. So all of this week, Annie Whitehead is running a giveaway of her novel of Aethelflaed's life, To Be A Queen:
This is the true story of Aethelflaed, the 'Lady of the Mercians', daughter of Alfred the Great. She was the only female leader of an Anglo-Saxon kingdom.
Born into the royal house of Wessex at the height of the Viking wars, she is sent to her aunt in Mercia as a foster-child, only to return home when the Vikings overrun Mercia. In Wessex, she witnesses another Viking attack and this compounds her fear of the enemy.
She falls in love with a Mercian lord but is heartbroken to be given as bride to the ruler of Mercia to seal the alliance between the two Anglo-Saxon kingdoms.
She must learn to subjugate her feelings for her first love, overcome her indifference to her husband and win the hearts of the Mercians who despise her as a foreigner and twice make an attempt on her life.
When her husband falls ill and is incapacitated, she has to learn to rule and lead an army in his stead. Eventually she must fight to save her adopted Mercia from the Vikings and, ultimately, her own brother. To Be A Queen was Long-listed for HNSIndie Book of the Year 2016 and has been awarded an indie BRAG Gold Medallion.

Jeanna Ellsworth is giving away a kindle e-book copy of Hope for Mr Darcy:
Still shaken from his horrible proposal, Elizabeth Bennet falls ill at the Rosings Parsonage upon reading Fitzwilliam Darcy's letter. In her increasingly delirious state, unfathomable influences inspire her to write an impulsive response. The letter gives Mr. Darcy hope in a way that nothing else could.
As her illness progresses, Darcy is there at her side, crossing boundaries he has never crossed, declaring things he has never declared. A unique experience bridges them over their earlier misunderstandings, and they start to work out their differences. That is, until Elizabeth begins to recover.
Suddenly, Elizabeth is left alone to wonder what exactly occurred between the two of them in her dreamlike state. And for the first time since meeting the man from Pemberley, she finds herself hoping for Mr. Darcy to return and rekindle what once was.
Hope for Mr. Darcy is the first volume of the Hope Series Trilogy, a Regency variation series based on Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. This trilogy promises hope will always light our way through the darkness of unrequited love, but eventually bringing tremendously gratifying outcomes for our three favorite characters: Mr. Darcy, Colonel Fitzwilliam, and Georgiana Darcy.

En Español
A sentinel lymph node biopsy is a procedure in which tissue is removed from the lymph nodes closest to an existing site of infection, cancer, or other disease. The test can help tell whether the condition has spread.
Lymph nodes are small glands found in groups throughout the body. These groups of nodes make up the lymph system, which helps the body to fight infections. If a biopsy of the sentinel node is positive for signs of infection or disease, there is a greater chance that the infection or disease has spread throughout the lymph system and bloodstream to other parts of the body.
For example, a woman with breast cancer who has a sentinel lymph node biopsy will usually have the tissue sample removed from the lymph nodes located under her arm. If the examination of the tissue does not show signs of cancer cells, it is not likely that the cancer has spread beyond the breast area.
Sentinel node biopsy is sometimes used instead of conventional lymph node dissection for staging cancer. It allows a doctor to obtain accurate information about the entire lymph system without making a person have more invasive surgery.

The Clan Sutherland Society in Scotland was founded in 1897 and reconstituted in 1977.
The Clan crest is the cat salient proper, the Clan motto is Sans Peur, the Clan emblem is butchers broom and the Clan pipe music is the Earl of Sutherland's March.
Some authorities regard the families of Cheyne, Federith, Gray, Oliphant, Mowat and a branch of the Keiths as historically associated with the Clan.
It now has members in all parts of the United Kingdom, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, The Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, South Africa, Eire, France, Austria and Italy.
The aims of the Society include
Promoting the conservation and the preservation of places and objects connected with Clan Sutherland.
Helping members throughout the world to exchange advice and information
Encouraging research into the history of the clan.
Greetings from the late Chief of the Clan.
"I am so glad that the Clan Sutherland Society in Scotland has decided to establish its own website on the internet.
The purpose of the site will be to give our current members information about the Society and its activities. In this way the CSSS will be in closer touch with members of the Clan Sutherland overseas and the website should encourage new memberships of their societies and ours in Scotland.
So greetings to all concerned; and my very best wishes"
Elizabeth Sutherland, Countess of Sutherland
Chief of Clan Sutherland (1963-2019)

Beautiful Games: ciggie-pack footy kits
At first glance these look like legitimate designs for European football kits from the 1990s, but in fact they're cigarette packets torn and folded to look like the real deal. They're the handiwork of the internationally-renowned British artist Leo Fitzmaurice, who first noticed the resemblance between the lids of cigarette packets and sports jerseys more than a decade ago. Fitzmaurice's work centres on observations of everyday objects – as he puts it 'things so common that they are often completely overlooked'. He describes this particular series, which is called Post Match, as being more like a subconscious pub activity than a fine-art project, but the results are really outstanding

Erewash Borough Council have hit back at claims that wardens are 'obsessed' with handing out fines for the dumping of cigarette ends — claiming that if just one per cent of litterbugs were caught it would be worth £11 million to the authority.
Cllr Frank Phillips told the Advertiser residents have contacted him and complained about wardens, claiming they followed them around the town centre while they smoked and issued fines won occasions hile not in uniform.
He said: "People have come to me and said they feel uncomfortable smoking in the town centre because wardens watch their every move.
"Fair enough if they drop their cigarette ends, but it seems that some wardens are so obsessed with dishing out fines they will do whatever it takes to catch people.
"There are more pressing issues."
But Cllr Barbara Harrison rejected his claims saying residents want to see clean streets and picking up cigarette ends is a big and expensive job.
She explained: "There is no excuse for smokers to throw their cigarette ends on the floor – no cigarette butt is dropped accidentally, all are the result of a deliberate act. It is estimated that approximately nine tonnes of cigarette litter - 15 million cigarette ends - is collected across the borough each year which equates to a substantial cost to the council and the taxpayer.
Cigarette bins have been put in the town centre.

February 23, 2014
Carrie A. Birge, a 2008 graduate of DePauw University, is the new director of the Johnson County Museum of History. Located in Franklin, Indiana, the museum is a non-profit, educational institution that works to collect, preserve, interpret and promote the material culture of the region.

Birge comes to the post from the Children's Museum of Indianapolis where she was coordinator of public and youth programs.

Tech Update
Laser-Cutting System Tackles Tough Tube-Cutting Tasks
The FocusLine function of the TruLaser Tube 7000 automatically adapts the laser focal position to the material type and thickness. The machine's software independently adjusts to the focus parameters given in the technology table, minimizing setup time. Also new is a slender cutting head with a 6-in. lens and new clutch, designed for flexibility and process safety.
When combined with Trumpf's LoadMaster Tube, which features a tube magazine that can hold 8000 lb. of raw material, the TruLaser Tube 7000 can be fully automated. Its pivoting feed support holds several tubes and keeps them at constant orientation. The loading unit performs a feasibility test to compare the tube geometry with the parts program.
The TruLaser Tube 7000 works with a new version of Trumpf's TruTops Tube software that allows fabricators to efficiently process complex tube designs. For example, a fabricator can position one 3D tube on another, instead of designing and programming individual tubes. This saves time since parameters such as length, width, height, wall thickness and spacing between cutouts can readily be modified to generate any number of variations.

Ziggz necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 127 diseños de 43 diseñadores freelance.
A husband and wife photography team that specializes in weddings and events is looking for a fresh, clean and elegant logo/brand design. Focusing on logo here, after the logo is complete, we'll have more contests for business cards, stationery, etc...
Gary and Aneta Photography
We are a husband and wife team and we are looking to create a brand that will attract affluent clients. We would like the design to appeal to brides so it should be feminine and look expensive.
Fonts that we like are cursive or brush stroked. Not a big fan of straight edges or fonts like veranda or arial. Also remember, the symbol should be able to stand on its own and represent the brand.
Accepted File Formats Vector Formats (.eps, .ai) and Adobe Photoshop .psd
- Please include a symbol that can be used separately from "Gary and Aneta" part of the logo. So the symbol itself can be a recognizable brand.
- Please use the colors: D69057, 4A2211, 853C1B, CC9F58, FFE3B8. Not all the colors have to be used but try to stay within these colors. If you have a color that works, then by all means include it.
- The logo must look good against a dark or light background
- Simplicity and expensive looking is key
- Stay away from squirly lines like lace and anything that screams wedding
- No pictures but abstract graphics are okay
- No graphics or anything that looks like photography gear or anything that looks weddingish. We specialize in weddings but we don't want that in our branding. We want EXPENSIVE to be in our branding.
- Anything too busy. Simplicity is key.

A month after tearing the ACL and MCL in his right knee, New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski will go under the knife.
A person who has spoken with Gronkowski told NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport that the injury-prone star will have surgery Thursday to repair both ligaments.
The procedure will be performed by Dr. James Andrews.
The knee reconstruction will be the eighth known surgery of Gronkowski's playing career.
In the past two years, Adrian Peterson and Robert Griffin III have returned by Week 1 after undergoing similar surgeries in January. Gronkowski will have to be diligent in his rehabilitation schedule to maintain that pace.
For the second season in a row, Gronkowski is unlikely to be a major factor in the offense until October or later.

A Fine-Arts Degree May Be a Better Choice Than You Think
For graduates, job prospects and satisfaction are surprisingly high
Think that art school dooms graduates to a life of unemployment? The numbers paint a very different picture.
Journal Report

"Artists can have good careers, earning a middle-class income," says Anthony Carnevale, director of Georgetown University's Center on Education and the Workforce. "And, just as important and maybe more, artists tend to be happy with their choices and lives."
Not Exactly Starving
A 2011 report from the center found that the unemployment rate in the first two years for those graduating with bachelor of fine arts degree is 7.8%, dropping to 4.5% for those out of school longer. The median income is $42,000.
"Artists' income is comparable to other liberal-arts majors," he says. "They do a little better than psychology majors, since counseling and social work is a very low-wage occupation."
For artists who go on to graduate degrees, the most common of which is the master's of fine arts, the unemployment rate for recent graduates drops to just under 5%, and their median yearly income increases to roughly $50,000.
Other studies have also found relatively high levels of employment and satisfaction. The Curb Center for Art, Enterprise and Public Policy at Vanderbilt University conducted a survey of 13,000 graduates of visual and performing college-arts programs between 1990 and 2009; 2,817 were in the fine arts.
Among the findings: Almost 83% worked the majority of their time in some arts occupation, such as art teaching or in a nonprofit arts organization.
"Arts graduates are resilient and resourceful," says Curb Center Associate Director Steven J. Tepper. Sixty percent of the fine-arts graduates in the survey work more than one job, he says, "but they are happy with what they put together."
A Rosy Picture
Bruno S. Frey, research director of the Center for Research in Economics, Management and the Arts at the University of Zurich, echoes that finding.
He says he has done "happiness research for some time" and found that "artists generally are happier than the rest of the population."
Of all arts professions, fine artists, writers and composers were found to be the happiest, because "the profession they have chosen gives them autonomy, and that makes them happy," he says. "Actors and musicians, on the other hand, are less happy, because they are disciplined by various rules and have less autonomy."

With my work I try to represent the emotions in this world. The sadness, anger and the dark emotions that can't be described by words. When I tried to shape those directly, it took the form of a person naturally. The pieces are not supposed to be practical tools but rather a medium to representing who I am. I craft those to grow closer to people's hearts.

Chain Reaction: The Broken Yolk
Reviews of burgers at chain restaurants.
Of course we love our mom & pops, and our favorite burger joints around the country are pretty much all independently owned, but there are certain times in life—overnight layovers, hungover Sunday mornings, all-day shopping trips at the outlets—that the only options around are the chains. Chain Reaction is here to help you decide when to go for the burger, and when you're better off sticking with the chicken fingers.
The Broken Yolk
355 6th Ave. San Diego, CA 92101 (map)
9 locations in San Diego and surrounding area, full list at thebrokenyolkcafe.com
The Schtick: Breakfast spot with over 20 types of omelets, plus some lunch options
The Burger: A nasty half-pound of mystery meat (Angus beef, according to the menu) on a toasted sesame bun
Want Fries With That? Whether the fries or the onion rings are worse is debatable. What's certain is neither option is good
Setting: Standard chain restaurant vibe, nothing stands out
Price: All burgers, $9.29
The Broken Yolk isn't known for having good breakfast as much as it's known for being open early. It's there, and the best thing you can say about it is "it'll do." The menu is egg-centric, with over 20 varieties of omelets, including the "Iron Man," a 12-egg omelet covered in chili that was featured on Man vs. Food.
There's also an entire page of burgers, ranging from a classic cheeseburger dubbed "Old Reliable," to more complicated burgers topped with guacamole, chili, or grilled pineapple. I tried two burgers: the baseline offering, and the Rosarito Beach burger, with bacon strips and guacamole—because if there's one thing you should be able to count on a breakfast place doing right, it's bacon.
In San Diego, you should also be able to rely on a locally-born chain to crank out a decent burger. Burgers, beer, and fish tacos are the cornerstones of the local food scene. Admittedly, I didn't roll into The Broken Yolk prepared to be blown away, but I was surprised how royally they botched both burgers.
The first ominous sign was the hue of the patty: a light brownish grey color that looked just as likely to be turkey as it was beef. The indeterminate origin of the meat wasn't the only problem. The patty was also completely overwrought, and so finely ground and loosely packed that it was spongy. Flavor-wise, the closest meat product the gray matter resembled was wet ham, but mostly, it tasted like absolutely nothing. The only flavor element that really stood out was the mayo.
The Rosarito Beach burger was slightly better. The patty had more noticeable grill marks and a faint charred flavor, but only in certain bites. With zero detectable beef flavor, this burger ended up tasting like guacamole and bacon—both of which were delicious. Without the beef, it would even have been edible.
You can get fries, onion rings, house salad, or slaw with your burger. When it comes to the two deep-fried options, it's a toss-up which one is worse. The crinkle-cut fries have the personality (and flavor) of a cardboard cut-out, and need ample salting to be worth the calories, while the onion rings are coated in breadcrumbs and taste only like oil. Still, both are marginally better than the burger, which I abandoned after two bites and am willfully trying to erase from my memory. Not only is it not worth $9, it's worth $20 to never experience in the first place (you're welcome).
The Broken Yolk may cater to people who want a simple, decent meal and don't have terribly high standards, but even with monumentally low expectations, this burger will still let you down. Play it safe and stick with an omelet.

The other day, I posted a link to this article (http://jezebel.com/5905291/a-complete-guide-to-hipster-racism) and some brief criticism of the content. One of my colleagues challenged me about my it, so I thought I would add a bit of color to my position.
My reaction to race-baiting articles such at the one I posted about is strong, because of how irresponsible and cynical they are. The accusation of racism is one of the worst ones you can receive as a white male in American society today, akin to being called a liar or a coward in the old American West. There's practically no defense to it, and the label carries a tremendous stigma in modern society. The charge is frequently used as an argument-ender for people who haven't an honest argument to make. E.g. "People who disagree with ObamaCare are just racists."
Whenever I read pieces by white people freaking out about all the injustices done by white people to black people and how awful white people are, I can't help but laugh at the utter folly of being racist against your own race as a reaction to racism. It's silly and disingenuous and deserves ridicule and derision.
My colleague wrote:
In referencing "states' rights," I *think* the author is alluding to — albeit in a clumsy, context-lacking style — the rhetorical quality of "states' rights" in racially sensitive debates throughout American history, beginning with the Civil War/slavery, climaxing with the 1960s Civil Rights movement, hitting a sensitive note in Mississippi during Reagan's 1980 speech, and surfacing more recently in discussion of healthcare, immigration, etc.
Does that make sense? I agree that the article is bit awkward and irresponsibly written, although I think the mere fact that "states' rights" can carry so much baggage for some folks yet very little for you speaks to the author's point: so many facets of American society and public discourse carry racially sensitive undertones and implications.
Given the writer's atrocious and immature style, I think he may be crediting her with a bit too much capability for nuance.
I think that as a society the only way we can get beyond racism is by not giving such phrases as "states' rights" and "work ethic" the power to evoke pre-civil rights-era racist ideas. I actually have no idea why "work ethic" would mean anything racist, at all. I understand the putative issue with "States' Rights" but strongly disagree that people should keep thinking of it in that context. I.e. Not every white person who believes in States' Rights believes in slavery, to be blunt.
From a principled point of view, slavery is an obvious infringement on individual human rights. But that's a Libertarian idea, and all Libertarians want the United States to turn into Somalia, if you believe the popular hype from those who don't happen to know what Libertarianism is actually about.
States' rights, in particular, is actually a very important constitutional principle. If we want to delve into the subtleties and nuances of how language can be used, let's examine the idea that many on the left would cede tremendous power and authority to the Federal government, stripping away powers that are meant to be "reserved to the States" in the name of collectivist Marxism, at the most extreme. This can be achieved by keeping principles like "States' Rights" as topics to avoid, lest you be branded a racist for using such a coded racist term.
Unfortunately, we have allowed Congress to run roughshod over the Tenth Amendment for decades, abusing the "commerce clause" to regulate all kinds of things that ought to be left to the States, or even better, left unregulated.
Anyway, now I'm getting a bit off track here.
Her item #4 is particularly galling.
4. "God, Don't White People Suck?"
Okay, I get what you're trying to do here—having some fun at the expense of the oppressors while setting yourself up as one of the "cool" white people—but mainly what you end up doing is implying that black people don't like informative radio or TED talks. Stuff White People Like: having the best brains! Isn't it great that we can make fun of ourselves while still reminding you that we're better than you?
(The red text for emphasis is mine.)
Apparently, by poking a bit of fun at your own group with sites like www.stuffwhitepeoplelike.com you're actually being racist? That she assumes a venal motive (acting superior to black people) really reflects more on her own latent(?) prejudices than on those of the people who made that site.
I guess my main objection is that by railing against white people as being a bunch of awful, latent racists, she's really just exposing herself as one. I think if she sees racists hiding behind every "coded phrase" she just might be a racist herself.

Friday's EuroMillions jackpot is estimated at a whopping £92 million.
The cut-off time for entries is 7.30p.m.
The probability of having all five numbers and both 'Lucky Stars' is 1 in 139,838,16 which, in percentage terms, equates to 0.00000072 per cent.
Scottish couple, Colin and Christine Weir, scooped one of the biggest jackpots in EuroMillions history in 2011 when they won more than £160 million.
Anyone who wins Friday's jackpot would have enough money to purchase 29 McLaren P1 GTR cars which start at an affordable £3.2 million.

Im studying the book programming in BlueJ (Barnes/Kolling 5th ed.) and i am stuck at question 4.51.
I´ll try to explain:
There is an arraylist and I must get an object with a specific number, not an indexnumber, but a number which is one of the fields of the objects in the arraylist.
So the header of the method I am trying to write is:
Java Code:
1 public Lot getLot(int lotNumber)
but the number is an attribute of the objects (Lots) in the arraylist, not the indexnumber. I have no idea how to get the right Lot out of the arraylist. I only know how to access an object in an arraylist via its indexnumber. I hope you can help, I can provide more code from this project if neccesary.
thanks, Maarten.

Kirkpatrick Product Ref: 799
A very popular, strong pattern Tee Hinge suitable for medium weight doors up to 40" (1015mm) wide and heavier doors such as double boarded doors and framed doors up to 30" (760mm). Forming part of our Wealden Black Iron range this hinge is manufactured in Britain using traditional casting techniques and finished in Antique Black for a truly authentic look and feel.
This product is expertly and lovingly crafted by Kirkpatrick Ltd of Willenhall using high quality materials. It should not be confused with the poor quality imitations available from other suppliers.
Tee hinges are designed to be fitted to the opening face of doors with both the horizontal strap and vertical frame plate being visible when the door is in the closed position. As a rule of thumb, light to medium weight doors (soft wood, pine) will require hinges approx one third to half the door width. For heavier doors (eg solid oak) select a hinge one half to two thirds the door width. For doors over 84" (2100mm) high we recommend a third hinge fitted centrally.
Antique Black is a hard wearing, durable paint finish suitable for both internal and external applications in normal conditions. However, we DO NOT recommend this product for coastal areas or other harsh environments.
Lubricate immediately after fitting and periodically thereafter - at least twice yearly. Clean with an oil impregnated cloth to remove harmful deposits, especially when fitted externally
One hinge as described complete with traditional slotted roundhead woodscrews in matching finish.
These hinges are normally held in stock for immediate despatch. If we are temporarily out of stock you should allow approximately 7 to 10 days for despatch.

The 100 Moments of TSU Athletics presented by Taco Bell® series continues by recognizing a pair of Tennessee State paralympians.
In 2004, Ryan Fann made school history when he won a gold medal in the Paralympics. Fann teamed up with three other athletes to win the 4 x 400-meter relay in world-record time.
However, Fann's road to gold was anything but easy. At the age of three, Fann was struck by a car while playing outside of his family's house. After being rushed to the hospital, the doctors told Fann's family that the prognosis wasn't good and that his foot would need to be amputated.
Fann received a prosthetic leg and after learning to cope with his new appendage, joined the football team. Fann was so good at football that he made a high school all-star game and was named his team's MVP. It was at the game that Fann was noticed by a scout and convinced him to train for the Paralympics.
Fann came to Tennessee State and trained on the same track that produced stars like Wilma Rudolph and Mae Faggs. Fann was invited to the Paralympics in Greece in 2004 where he won his gold medal and a bronze medal in the 400-meter dash.
Markeith Price is another paralympian following in Fann's footsteps and is training to win his own gold medal while attending TSU.
As a sprinter and a jumper, Price has not allowed his disability to hold back his efforts in competing in track and field. He was born with his vision impaired and has been involved in the sport since the age of 11, since then, competing on different levels.
Back in 2005, he won gold medals for the long jump and the 600m in the IBSA World Youth Championships. He added a silver medal in 2007 in the triple jump at the IBSA World Games, and in 2009 at the IBSA Pan American Games, he won the event and added a gold medal in the 400m.
According to the U.S Association of Blind Athletes Indoor Track & Field, Price currently holds the records for the 200m, 400m, 800m, and long jump.
Price made another appearance in world championship competition competing as a member of the 2011 U.S. Paralympics' Team for the International Paralympics Athletic World Track & Field Championships held in New Zealand.
Price participated in the international multi-sport event in January in which athletes with physical disabilities compete against each other in different tiers based on the person's disability.
In the T-3 category, which classifies Price as legally blind, he finished 6th in the long jump (6.43m) out of 12 internationally ranked competitors and 4th in the 200m dash (23.68) out of nine ranked opponents.
Price is currently training for the 2012 and 2016 Paralympics.
The 100 Moments of TSU Athletics presented by Taco Bell® highlights some of the greatest moments in honor of Tennessee State's centennial celebration. A new moment will be released each weekday for a total of 100. These moments were chosen by the TSU 100 Moments committee, which consists of alums from various departments. TSU has so many great moments, not all can be represented in these 100.

Time for Some Tennis
With Wimbleton well underway, I was recently reminded of my many summers spent at John Gardiner's Tennis Camp where I gained my true appreciation of "tennis whites". (Wearing white for a month straight as a young girl will do that to you!) Now if only my white wardrobe were as chic as this one shown above... I think I may need this Stella McCartney Tennis Skirt to help me infuse a little more cuteness on the court.

Electronic Arts' delusions of grandeur have reached new heights this week, as the company continues to milk its lawsuit against Zynga for cheap applause and gamer cred. Its latest claim? The lawsuit positions Electronic Arts as the industry's very own Batman.
"When we looked at The Ville we felt somewhat affronted by what we saw as copyright infringement," COO Peter Moore told Eurogamer. "We also feel from an industry perspective that a number of these things have happened before related to Zynga, but there's never been a company that has the wherewithal and the resources to take it to the next level. We do.
"So, we're defending our Maxis studio, and we're standing up for the industry. The roots of what we do as an industry is creative, from the minds of people who sit there and build storylines and characters and mesh it all together and work hard to do it. You take years to do that. And when you see somebody, quite frankly, take months replicating what you've done, you're upset. We were upset. We were upset for Maxis.
"And we've seen enough of it from an industry perspective," he continued, "with smaller publishers and developers who also put their hands up and said, this is not right, but I don't know what to do about it. We do."
That's Electronic Arts for you, always standing up for the little guy and defending studios that can't fight back. Forever resolute against copycat games and ensuring creativity reigns. If there's ever a studio that's earned the support of gamers, it's Electronic Arts, your friend!
Thanks for defending studios from Zynga, EA. Just one question ... who will protect studios from you?
