We can recommend a number of furniture and goods carriers.
The auctioneers are able to pack and dispatch purchases in some cases, please contact us before the auction to discuss.
As auctioneers we usually contract as agents for the seller whose identity, for reasons of confidentiality, is not normally disclosed. Accordingly if you buy your primary contract is with the seller.
Estimates are designed to help buyers gauge what sort of sum might be involved for the purchase of a particular lot. The lower estimate may represent the reserve price and certainly will not be below it. Estimates do not include the Buyers Premium or VAT. Estimates are prepared some time before the sale and may be altered by announcement before the sale. They are in no sense definitive.
Buyers Premium
The Conditions of Sale oblige buyers to pay a buyer's premium at 22% on the hammer price of each lot purchased. In addition, VAT is charged on this premium.
Condition of Lots
We are, primarily, agents for the seller. We are dependent on information provided by the seller and whilst we may inspect lots and act reasonably in taking a general view about them, we are normally unable to carry out a detailed, or any, examination of lots in order to ascertain their condition in the way in which it would be wise for a buyer to do. Intending buyers have ample opportunity for inspection of goods and, therefore, accept responsibility for inspecting and investigating lots in which they may be interested. Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the condition of lots contained in the Conditions of Sale. Neither the seller nor we, as the auctioneers, accept any responsibility for their condition. In particular, mechanical objects of any age are not guaranteed to be in working order.
However, in so far as we have examined the goods and make a representation about their condition, we shall be liable for any defect which that examination ought to have revealed to the auctioneer but which would not have been revealed to the buyer had the buyer examined the goods. Additionally, in specified circumstances, lots misdescribed because they are 'deliberate forgeries' may be returned and repayment made. There is a 2 week time limit. (The expression 'deliberate forgery' is defined in our Conditions of Sale).
We may be able to assist buyers unable to view by posting or e-mailing a condition report. We provide the information for guidance only, without legal obligation or prejudice to our standard terms and conditions of sale. Bishop & Miller Auctioneers cannot be held responsible for damage or faults that may be missed during our inspection of the item(s) in question. You should not rely upon this report when deciding whether or not to make a bid. Condition reports do not include manufacturing defects that occurred during the production of the item. Please note that any attached illustrations are intended as a guide only. Colours and general appearance may differ from the original item(s). We strongly recommend that you inspect the lot yourself and consult an independent professional conservator or restorer. Condition reports cannot be prepared on day of sale. Please see our Conditions of Sale.
These are sold as 'antiques' only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician first.
Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whether an export licence is required and (b) whether there is any specific prohibition on importing goods of that character because they may contain prohibited materials such as ivory.
Buyers Registration
All attending buyers are asked to collect a bidding paddle before the commencement of the sale. Should you be the successful buyer of any lot please ensure that your paddle can be seen by the Auctioneer. Please return your paddle at the end of the sale.
Commission Bidding
Commission Bids may be left with the auctioneers indicating the maximum amount to be bid excluding buyers' premium. They will be executed as cheaply as possible having regard to the reserve (if any) and competing bids. If two buyers submit identical commission bids the auctioneers may prefer the first bid received. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for the leaving of commission bids by telephone or e-mail. All absentee bids should be received before the auction commences, we cannot guarantee to accurately execute bids received once the auction has commenced. All email bids must be received by no later than 9.30am on the morning of the sale.
Telephone Bidding
If you are unable to attend the auction it may be possible to bid on the telephone for higher value lots.
The number of lines is limited so we would urge serious telephone bidding only and ask that you be prepared to bid over the top estimate.
It would be advisable to leave a maximum covering bid in case we are not able to contact you by telephone.
All lines must be booked and confirmed in writing before the day of the auction and preferably some time in advance.
Telephone bidding involves many variables and whilst we take every care to ensure the smooth running of this service, we cannot be held liable if your bids are missed for any reason.
Bishop & Miller Auctioneers offers an online bidding service via the-saleroom.com for bidders who cannot attend the sale. In completing the bidder registration on www.the-saleroom.com and providing your credit card details and unless alternative arrangements are agreed with Bishop & Miller Auctioneers you:
(a) authorise Bishop & Miller Auctioneers, if they so wish, to charge the credit card given in part or full payment, including all fees, for items successfully purchased in the auction via the-saleroom.com, and

Removal of lots
ALL lots are to be removed from the premises by 5.00pm at the latest on the Friday following each sale. Bishop & Miller Auctioneers retain the right to remove lots remaining after this time into safe storage, for which a charge will be made.
All electrical goods offered in this sale have either been tested and certified by an appropriately qualified electrician or have been operationally disabled. We would strongly advise that any intended re-commissioning is undertaken by an appropriately qualified electrician.
Post 1950 Furniture
All items of furniture included in this sale are offered for sale as works of art. The items may not comply with the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) Safety Regulations 1988 and for this reason, they should not be used in a private dwelling.
Furniture made of Brazilian Rosewood (Dalbergia Negra)
To comply with CITES Regulations on post-1947 furniture made of Brazilian Rosewood, all post-war Rosewood furniture items have article 10 certificates.
If you are purchasing Rosewood furniture for commercial purposes and not solely for your own use, CITES regulations require you to obtain your own certificate. You would need to contact the Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency (AHVLA) and, as part of the process of obtaining your document, it is a requirement that you have seen sight of the Bishop & Miller certificate or are aware of its reference number. It is therefore the responsibility of commercial buyers to ensure that they obtain a copy of the appropriate certificate, or the certificate reference number, after purchase from Bishop & Miller Auctioneers.

Number Two: "mutant" power to generate ultra-
linear leaps, allowing Sentinels to
jump instantaneously across vast
distances [Number Two]
Having been in college at the time, studying engineering, Larry Trask wrongly blamed the X-Men and all mutants in general for his father's death and picked up where Bolivar left off. He rebuilt and improved the Sentinels, adding more weapons and features to the mutant-hunting robots so that they could adapt instantly to whatever force they would be attacked with. To ensure that they would not rebel against humanity again, Larry designed an interface helmet with which he could assume control of any Sentinel and override all other commands, if necessary. Still, once set in motion, the Sentinels mostly followed their own built-in system of logic. Without Larry Trask ordering them to do so, it was the Sentinels themselves who decided to create a hidden mountain base in upstate New York, including a chamber full of stasis tubes to store the mutants they would eventually capture.
Larry was aided in his quest against mutants by a friend of a Trask family, a federal judge named Chalmers. While Larry Trask further studied the Sentinels and marveled at the inventiveness and resourcefulness of his creations, Judge Chalmers founded the Federal Council on Mutant Activities. Even though Chalmers was not as convinced of mutants being a menace, he agreed to the Sentinels being launched. The robots proved to be very effective, singling out opponents and adapting to their powers, and before long they had captured most of the known mutants at the time, both heroes and villains alike. In his mad quest for revenge, Larry eventually ordered the Sentinels to destroy all mutants; which was one step too far for judge Chalmers. He had wanted the prisoners to be treated humanely and for their powers to be removed, but he wouldn't condone to murder.
Knowing the dark secret of the Trasks, Chalmers removed the medallion from Larry's neck, with the Sentinels in the base immediately recognizing him for the mutant he was, as such no longer following his orders. The last command having been the destruction of all mutants, Judge Chalmers now feared that he had caused the death of his friend, when the remaining X-Men arrived. Hopelessly outnumbers by the Sentinels, Cyclops, Marvel Girl and the Beast knew that they could only defeat the mutant-hunting robots with logic. Trading costumes with the previously captured Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch and the Toad, the three mutants were able to confuse the robots long enough for one of them to reach the center of the base. Once there, Cyclops argued with the Sentinels about the source of all mutation. Computing that the sun was the source of most mutation-inducing radiation on Earth, the Sentinels abandoned their current activities and departed to space to find a means to destroy the sun. [X-Men (1st series) #57-59] Following their departure, the captive mutants were all set free and Judge Chalmers placed the power-suppressing amulet around Larry Trask's neck once more, making him forget everything that had happened.
Four weeks later, there was again movement in the abandoned Sentinel base. Each of them beyond their capability of self-repair, the remains of five Sentinels who were damaged during the conflict with the X-Men merged together, forming one functioning robot. It left the compromised headquarters and set a random flight pattern, eventually registering mutant activity in Dunfee, Illinois. The energy signature belonged to a young girl named Ashlee Martin, who had barely begun to manifest her ability to control technology. Not yet fully intact, the Sentinel obeyed to the commands of the young girl, who had no idea what a Sentinel truly was and hid him in the barn behind her mother's house. When Professor Xavier and the Beast later arrived, also investigating the emergence of a powerful mutant signature, their presence triggered the Sentinel's programming. Still obeying the last accepted order of Larry Trask, the robot tried to kill the three mutants present. Fortunately, though, Ashley caused the robot to fall apart, rendering it harmless. [X-Men: Hidden Years #8-11]
Around the same time, the other Sentinels were still orbiting around the sun. Number Two, the leader of this pack of Sentinels even flew so close to the sun that his hide began to melt. Additionally, his systems were altered on a molecular level, with Number Two somehow gaining the power to open teleportational gates. Once the Sentinels realized that they lacked the means to destroy the sun, they came up with another plan to end the mutant threat. As they couldn't end the cause of mutant births in general, they saw no other way but to control each single birth that occurred. In order to do so, they retreated to a secondary base they had built under Trask's supervision, located somewhere in the Australian Outback and resembling a giant ant-hill.
There, the Sentinels built a device that would increase solar flare activity up to a point where it would not kill humanity but render them sterile. Afterwards, the giant robots planned to genetically create a new human race in their labs – not caring whether the task would take a few years or even centuries. Their device needed a single mutant for a power source and for technical reasons this mutant needed to be female. As the address of the Avengers' headquarters was publicly known, Number Two ordered his followers to go after the Scarlet Witch rather than Marvel Girl. Taken by surprise and unfamiliar with the ever-adapting robots, the Avengers found themselves unable to do anything, as one of the Sentinels escaped through Number Two's warpgates with the captured Witch in his grip.
Remembering Larry Trask from the earlier incident, Quicksilver tracked the man to the house of Judge Chalmers and kidnapped him to question him on the Sentinels whereabouts. Still amnesiac, Larry had no idea what the Avenger was talking about, until the speedster sensed the weakening effect emanating from the medallion around his prisoner's neck. Once ripped off, Larry's memories of the Sentinels' Australian base returned, but so did his precognitive visions. In his mind, he saw the Sentinels carrying out their mad plan and then nothing but a black void. After making their way to Australia, the Avengers had to fight numerous Sentinels, keeping them from reaching the lower levels of the base where the Scarlet Witch was held. Lurking around, Larry recognized that the mutant energy detector in the command room was switched off, which he considered odd. When Trask turned the detector on, it bathed every mutant in close proximity in a glowing light. Other than Larry himself and the Scarlet Witch, the Sentinel Number Two also went aglow – the flight around the sun having altered his make-up so much that he now qualified as a mutant.
Immediately the other three remaining Sentinels turned on their leader, obliterating Number Two with their in-built lasers and ray guns. Apparently still connected to Number Two in some way, the Sentinels abruptly deactivated themselves right afterwards instead of carrying on the fight and their plan to render humanity sterile. Unfortunately, Larry Trask was too close by, and he was crushed underneath one of the giant robots when it toppled over. The visions he had experienced before were nothing but a holographic simulation of the Sentinels' plan and his own death. Their kidnapped teammate freed, the Avengers caused a cave-in to seal off the entrance to the anthill, before returning home. [Avengers (1st series) #102-104]
Still, this was not the last of the Mark II Sentinels as some of Larry Trask's notes remained in the possession of Judge Chalmers. While the old man had no intention to continue the feud that had cost both Trasks their lives, years later his daughter, Cythia, took a special interest in the documents after she had been diagnosed with a fatal form of cancer. Using her background as an archeologist, she led an expedition to the ant-hill in Australia and had her workers dig free the entrance to the base underneath. The intrusion of Cynthia and her men caused the three Sentinels to re-awaken. Discussing their status, the three robots decided that they had taken their programming a bit too literally when they obliterated Number Two, and they proceeded to re-assemble their fallen leader from the slag heap into which they had transformed him.
After Number Two was fully repaired, the Sentinels left the anthill and took over a solar observatory in New South Wales. All of the four Sentinels expressed some odd behavior, such as asking each other for forgiveness or voicing doubts. However, while they recognized these incidents as violations of their initial programming, they didn't consider them important enough to further explore, instead blaming the long deactivation period for these malfunctions. Number Two once more planned to render humanity sterile, though this time he wanted to use gamma radiation to increase solar flare activity. The robots built a similar device to the one before and, needing two gamma-beings to act as a power source, they kidnapped the Abomination and Dr. Leonard Samson. Cruelly, Number Two and the other three Sentinels used the scientists working at the observatory as guinea pigs, testing on them at what dosage of gamma radiation they were rendered sterile and at which point they died.
While checking out the report of Sentinel activity, the X-Men ran into Cynthia Chalmers, who provided the mutants with the location of the new Sentinel base. As soon as they arrived there, a fight erupted between Sentinels, the Abomination and the assembled heroes. Having fought these and even more advanced Sentinels before, the X-Men quickly overcame three of the Sentinels. However, during the battle, the Abomination caused a miniature earthquake that created a fissure into which both he and Number Two fell, before closing on top of them again. Believing both of them dead, the heroes departed, leaving Cynthia Chalmers behind at the observatory. As such she was the sole witness of the Abomination's survival, as he dug himself back to the surface, with Number Two's severed head in tow. At that point, Cynthia proposed to the villain an alliance, revealing that she possessed the blueprints of the Sentinels, as well as the means to properly control them. Claiming to be a mutant-hater, Cynthia told the Abomination that she was dying of cancer soon, and promised that he could use the Sentinels in whatever ways he wanted, once she had gotten her last wish - the X-Men's death.
Over the next weeks, the Abomination helped Cynthia to build a re-designed Sentinel out of the remains of the four robots that he and the X-Men had defeated before. Additionally, they constructed a device to remote-control the giant robot, or so the Abomination was led to believe. Actually though, Cynthia wanted to upload her own consciousness into the Sentinel to escape her imminent death and to live on, even if it was as a machine. However, she made the same error as the Trask's underestimating the Sentinels' determination to their original task. When she uploaded her mind into the robot, the Sentinel's programming remained dominant, immediately resuming Number Two's earlier plan. As Dr. Samson had left Australia in the meantime, Number Two captured Rogue to serve as the solar flare machine's second power source, her body still retaining some gamma radiation as she had absorbed Samson's strength earlier on. Once again, the X-Men managed to save the day, partially due to Psylocke mentally stabilizing Cynthia's persona inside the robot's mind. Knowing that she couldn't keep the Sentinel routines from merging with her own mentality, and hating what she had become, Cynthia made the Sentinel fly straight into the sun, ending its and her own existence.

BACKGROUND: Acute coronary, cerebrovascular, and peripheral vascular events have common underlying arterial pathology, risk factors, and preventive treatments, but they are rarely studied concurrently. In the Oxford Vascular Study, we determined the comparative epidemiology of different acute vascular syndromes, their current burdens, and the potential effect of the ageing population on future rates. METHODS: We prospectively assessed all individuals presenting with an acute vascular event of any type in any arterial territory irrespective of age in a population of 91 106 in Oxfordshire, UK, in 2002-05. FINDINGS: 2024 acute vascular events occurred in 1657 individuals: 918 (45%) cerebrovascular (618 stroke, 300 transient ischaemic attacks [TIA]); 856 (42%) coronary vascular (159 ST-elevation myocardial infarction, 316 non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction, 218 unstable angina, 163 sudden cardiac death); 188 (9%) peripheral vascular (43 aortic, 53 embolic visceral or limb ischaemia, 92 critical limb ischaemia); and 62 unclassifiable deaths. Relative incidence of cerebrovascular events compared with coronary events was 1.19 (95% CI 1.06-1.33) overall; 1.40 (1.23-1.59) for non-fatal events; and 1.21 (1.04-1.41) if TIA and unstable angina were further excluded. Event and incidence rates rose steeply with age in all arterial territories, with 735 (80%) cerebrovascular, 623 (73%) coronary, and 147 (78%) peripheral vascular events in 12 886 (14%) individuals aged 65 years or older; and 503 (54%), 402 (47%), and 105 (56%), respectively, in the 5919 (6%) aged 75 years or older. Although case-fatality rates increased with age, 736 (47%) of 1561 non-fatal events occurred at age 75 years or older. INTERPRETATION: The high rates of acute vascular events outside the coronary arterial territory and the steep rise in event rates with age in all territories have implications for prevention strategies, clinical trial design, and the targeting of funds for service provision and research.

The scares start at 7 p.m. Wednesday, October 30 with a special, one-night presentation of the classic Swedish silent The Phantom Carriage. The film is a Gothic tale of a man doomed to spend a year collecting the souls of the dead, but the real draw -- at least for anyone who's not a fan of nearly 100-year-old Swedish cinema -- is the reimagined score, performed live by Paul Buscarello. Utilizing a combination of electronic and acoustic instruments, Buscarello has created a soundtrack that's a melange of horror cinema's most iconic sounds.
"He is sort of updating the soundtrack, referencing John Carpenter's stuff and more ominous electronic stuff, while working in the more classical stuff, like Bernard Herrmann did for Hitchcock," says Ernie Quiroz, programming manager for the Denver Film Society. "Then there's some more modern [sounds], almost techno or industrial."
After providing the soundtrack for your nightmares, the Denver Film Society is bringing the garish, lunatic pleasures of Dario Argento's Dracula to its screen for a single showing at 9:30 p.m. Halloween night, on Thursday, Octobe 31.
"It's cheesy and really bad, in a good way," Quiroz says. "It's a typical Italian [horror movie], drenched in sex -- people having sex and naked women for no apparent reason. And he cast his own daughter in it! It's a blood fest, gore fest, sex fest. It's got all those things."
Once Halloween is all over and you need a chance to come down from pretending to be a creature of the night, there's Zero Charisma (7 p.m. Saturday, November 2), a film about adult men who use dice and miniatures to facilitate their own make-believe. "It takes place within the world of [tabletop] gaming," Quiroz says. "I think gamers will get a kick out of it and, good or bad, recognize themselves in one of the characters."
The film tells the story of a group of gamers ruled over by a metalhead game master who has his imaginary fiefdom upset when a new gamer joins, disrupting the group dynamic and challenging his power, forcing him to take extreme measures -- something anyone who's ever played a game with a pal who takes it a bit too seriously can appreciate.
"I've played some of those games, and the dungeon master, they're the alpha male of their little world," Qurioz says. "When they get challenged, that's the one thing they have in life. For those couple hours they rule the world and if you challenge that, it has consequences."
Tickets for The Phantom Carriage are $12, or $10 for DFS members. Tickets for Dario Argento's Dracula and Zero Charisma are $10, or $7 for DFS members. For more info, trailers and tickets, visit the Denver Film Society website.

That's mice : rodent headdress on London catwalk
LONDON, Feb 25, 2009 (AFP) - A designer on Wednesday unveiled a full face headdress made of real mice and rat carcasses on the fringes of London Fashion Week.
Photo : Carl de Souza/AFP
A model paraded up and down the catwalk in the headdress, which covered her whole face except her eyes, complete with rat tails dangling down at the front and whiskers tickling her skin.
The creation was designed by French-born hairdresser and wigmaker Charlie Le Mindu, 22.
"I really like mice and rats. But everybody doesn't like them and I just wanted to show people it could be really beautiful," he told AFP after the show.
Asked if he was worried about how animal rights campaigners might react, he said: "It's better to make them (the rodents) beautiful than give them to the snakes."
Le Mindu was not on the official schedule for London Fashion Week but staged a show on the fringes on the final day of the event.

Despite all the technology we have and rely on, or maybe partly because of it, the modern world is full of very difficult challenges nearly every day of our lives. Stress can help us conquer those challenges by motivating us, heightening our awareness and concentration, and even improving our memory.
But while it's a necessary key to survival, stress is also uncomfortable and can lead to a host of physical and mental health problems.
The right amount of stress can boost your concentration. Too much stress or not handling it well may make you feel overwhelmed and unable to think at all.
Stress can lead to backaches, headaches, and an overall achy feeling. It can also exacerbate conditions you already have, like arthritis. Notice whether your pain gets worse when you're overly stressed.
If you find you're getting a lot of colds and infections when you're stressed, it might be that the stress is weakening your immune system. Your primary care doctor may be able to help you in the short term, but for an enduring solution, you need help with your mental health.
Losing too much sleep can wreck your physical and mental health. When you're losing sleep because you're stressed, the best thing you can do is to approach it from a mental health standpoint.
Some people eat when they're stressed. Others can't stand the sight of food. Whether your appetite goes up or down when you're under too much pressure, it's a sign that you need to take steps to handle your stress more effectively.
You may notice that when you're facing difficult challenges at work, you become irritable and quick to anger. It's easy to just give yourself a pass because, after all, you're under a lot of pressure. You and everyone around you will fare better if you deal with the stress behind the feelings.
Stress often leads to anxiety that is sometimes so severe that you avoid the situation that's causing you stress. If you avoid parts of your work or people you usually enjoy spending time with, your world can become very small very fast. You feel miserable, and the anxiety can lead to even greater mental health problems.
There are several things you need to be doing to manage your stress. Here is a list of some things that might help.
Stay alert to signs that you're over-stressed.
Recognize the situations that bring on the feeling of stress.
Meditate, practice deep breathing, or do systematic muscle relaxation exercises.
Cut down on caffeine and avoid alcohol and drugs.
If the stress in your life is just too hard to bear, you can get help from a mental health professional. Then, you can develop better thought patterns and learn even more techniques to bring your stress reactions under control.

I've been eager to read Justice League Odyssey since DC announced it. I didn't want to wait three months before its release, and I especially didn't want to wait the additional two months that were tacked on so the creative team could retool their story. But considering how strong Justice League and Justice League Dark are, I was willing to accept the two-month delay. By all means, take the time you need to work and craft the story that you need to tell, especially if you're going to make an excellent final product! Well… Now that I've read the issue, I can't help but think that they probably should've taken another two months to polish up this disaster.
I honestly have no idea where to begin my critique because hardly anything of value happens in this issue, and even when it does, it's technically a spoiler… So, I'm just going to start with this: I don't think Joshua Williamson is a good writer. That's not a personal attack, just a statement. He has good ideas, but his instincts are poor and his execution is even worse. It's the very reason(s) I stopped reading The Flash and why I wasn't a fan of Justice League vs Suicide Squad. So, if you've shared this sentiment about Williamson's work before, then you should expect more of the same here.
The title kicks off by showing us random alien planets and beings that were freed following the events of Justice League: No Justice. One of these aliens is a former Green Lantern, and now that she's free, she's embarking on a mission to inform the Guardians of prophecies found on these planets that ultimately resulted in them being imprisoned… The problem is, she never makes it to the Guardians.
Right away, we have a set-up that appears as though it's going to establish the reason for this team's formation (aka: the reason for this book) but that notion turns out to be a bust and ultimately a waste of pages. Williamson then reintroduces us to Jessica Cruz – one of Earth's Green Lanterns – who is on patrol in the Ghost Sector. There's some nonsense where Simon calls her to catch up, she complains about being bored, whines about having to do the job she requested, and so on. None of it is needed. It's just more wasted pages. Then, suddenly, Brainiac's ship jumps into the atmosphere. Aha! Something interesting!
We learn Cyborg is manning Brainiac's ship with Starfire. How did they get the ship? I don't know. Why did they take the ship? I also don't know. What are they doing in space? Yeah, dude, seriously… I don't know. Williamson doesn't establish any of this. He just throws readers into the middle of a narrative without any context.
After a few pages of back and forth between Cyborg and Starfire pertaining to the numerous catastrophes they survived, the dangers of their current mission, and how this mission (which we still know nothing about) is really their own torch to carry, we finally learn what they are doing in space with Brainiac's ship!… Oh, wait. No, we don't. Never mind. We just learn that Azrael stowed away on Brainiac's ship because a voice in his head told him to… I'm not joking.
On top of all of this, Jessica Cruz thinks that this is actually Brainiac despite the fact that she saw Brainiac die, and is coming in hot to attack the ship. But wait!!! Cruz's attack fails because her constructs can't withstand the maelstrom, so, it's up to one of our heroes on the ship to save her. By this point, there have been roughly eight different life-threatening catastrophes referenced within ten pages or so. It's an obnoxiously lazy attempt to create intrigue since Williamson couldn't bother to take the time to properly set up his story.
Twenty pages in, and I still can't tell you what in the hell is going on. We don't know why our heroes are in space, or what the relevance of this book is. Gripping. Then Darkseid randomly shows up! Thank God! Let him wipe these amateurs out with his omega beams so we can move on! (Kidding… Kind of…). But in all seriousness, when Darkseid shows up, things finally get interesting and Williamson manages to capture my attention for an entire two pages. I guess it was bound to happen at some point, right?
I know this is all a very generic commentary on the events of the book, but you have to realize that four-fifths of the book itself is generic, and the few talking points worth mentioning are spoilers. I'd rather let you experience it by reading the book if you choose to do so. I do have a more in-depth analysis and commentary in the spoiler tag, so look there for a more constructive critique of the book.
By the end of the issue, we learn that the "calling" that Cyborg, Starfire, and Azrael are feeling/hearing, is actually Darkseid himself summoning our heroes. The prophecies of the various planets referenced in the opening scene are actually prophecies about Cyborg, Starfire, and Azrael… Kind of. The explanation itself, while interesting, doesn't really hold water, and is a little too specific to be believable considering there's no way these alien races know the identity of our heroes or their likeness.
There is a separate explanation where the prophecies merely refer to "a goddess, a machine, and an angel," and it's implied that Darkseid is the one who established that these "old gods" are Starfire, Cyborg, and Azrael. But again, even that doesn't hold water when you actually think about it. For one, how is Darkseid an adult now? He was an infant in Metal – and unless I remember incorrectly, he was killed. Also, how would he have informed these planets of our heroes if these specific planets were imprisoned before Darkseid invaded Earth? And how in the hell does Darkseid know about Azrael if they've never met? Nothing adds up. Even Darkseid's link to Kori and Azrael doesn't support any logic… The one thing that did make sense that I really liked was Darkseid's connection to Cyborg. This could definitely lead to some interesting stories in the future!
Ultimately, Justice League Odyssey suffers because it opts to "tell" rather than "show," and even in doing that, it fails to do it well. This book could've been much better if Williamson had better instincts and execution. I would've liked for this issue to show Cyborg, Starfire, and Azrael coming together to embark on this mission for various reasons. Take the time to build a foundation and some suspense.
For example, Cyborg feels guilty for the way the heroes left the universe following the events of Justice League: No Justice. Great! Show him researching a plan to help these planets, and in doing so, show that he doesn't have full control over his body. Treat it like a possession. Something or someone takes over his body from time to time to help him connect the dots. Later in the arc, you can reveal that it's Darkseid controlling him, and establish what his intentions are for wanting Cyborg's help.
As for Starfire, she wants to find her home planet now that it's free. This is another great motivation that is believable. Show that she doesn't feel her calling is on earth anymore, and that her heart lies in reuniting with her people. If she were to learn that Cyborg planned on going to the Ghost Sector to try and help those planets, then they could align under that commonality. As for Azrael, show what he's been up to since we last saw him in Detective Comics. To bring him to the team, you could keep the general idea of guidance from a "higher power," almost giving him a type of foresight allowing him to cross paths with Cyborg and Kori. Explain the need for Brainiac's ship, specifically, and show the three journeying to space with Cyborg potentially being a future risk. Jessica and Darkseid could be worked into future issues. Almost anything would've been better than what we got, which is nothing more than twenty pages throw-away lines attempting to create some resemblance of a narrative.
I had high hopes for Justice League Odyssey, but it ended up being a total disappointment. Even with the intriguing conclusion, I can't say that I'm excited about next month's issue. I'm not certain what the creative team spent the past two months doing, but it doesn't appear to have been a whole hell of a lot.
The Art: The best aspect of Justice League Odyssey is Stjepan Sejic's art. I felt highly confident in the art coming into the issue, and while it is good, I've seen better from Sejic. In fact, his work here is kind of a "Monet." I mean that in the urban dictionary sense, not that his art resembles the famous painter. When you look at the full page, the art looks quite ravishing! But if you read digitally and choose to use the guided view, then you'll notice how sloppy his lines are once the panels are blown up. It's not his best work – which again, makes no sense considering the additional time he had to work on this book.
I also questioned some of the colors he used here. I found it interesting that Sejic kept choosing to use background colors that were similar to the characters he was featuring in his panels. There are multiple shots of Cyborg where everything around him is gray. Then Kori has a number of panels where her background is a shade of orange, while she is also a shade of orange. Even the accent color of her armor is very similar to her skin tone. They're all odd choices, and I expect more from Sejic.
You're a fan of space operas.
It's a team of Cyborg, Starfire, Green Lantern, Azrael, and Darkseid… Why not?
Overall: Despite my excitement for Justice League Odyssey, the reality is quite disappointing. There are good ideas here, but the execution falls way short of the expectation – which is a shame considering the creative team was graced with an additional two months to take advantage of fine-tuning the script. I'm going to hope for improvement, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Four men jailed for series of raids in Preston and North West
Posted on - 6th August, 2012 - 9:45pm | Author - Ed Walker | Posted in - Crime, Preston News
Nicholas Maxwell
Three men from Preston are part of a gang of four who were jailed for 11 years after a series of audacious raids at supermarkets and stores across the North West.
Nicholas Maxwell, of Royal Drive, Fulwood, Jamie Maxwell of Cambridge Street, Preston and Stephen Bosanko of Elliot Close, Preston all received sentences for their part in break-ins that netted thousands of pounds in cigarettes, golfing equipment and other products.
The gang, which also included 21-year-old John Horn, began their crime-spree raiding the Booths store on Sharoe Green Lane, Fulwood, on October 21 – stealing over £1,000 worth of tobacco products.
Jamie Maxwell
Lancaster was next up on their list as the Hala Road store was broken into on October 23 and cigarettes, champagne and other merchandise stolen.
The Booths store on Scotland Road, Carnforth, was then targeted and £3,000 of tobacco was stolen on October 31 last year.
The gang then returned to the same Booths store on Sharoe Green Lane to steal another £1,000 of cigarettes on November 17.
Just after Christmas, on December 29, another Booths store on Highfield Road, Blackpool, was targeted and £2,000 worth of stock taken.
The gang went off the radar in January but re-surfaced when cigarettes were stolen from the Windmill service station on Preston New Road, Blackpool on February 16.This was followed two days later with £9,000 of golf clubs and equipment taken from the Paul Walker Golf store in Knott End.
The four men appeared at Liverpool Crown Court yesterday and received the following sentences.
Nicholas Maxwell, 26, received three years for his involvement in the raids at the golf shp, petrol station and attempted break-in at Hesketh Bank.
Jamie Maxwell, 21, was jailed for two years for raids in Lancaster, Carnforth, Blackpool and Heskth Bank.
Stephen Bosanko
Stephen Bosanko, 31, was jailed for three years for his involvement in the Lancaster, Fulwood and Hesketh Bank raids.
John Horn, received three years in jail for the Fulwood, Lancaster, Carnforth raids and attempted break-in at Hesketh Bank.
Detective Sergeant Simon Balderstone, of Lancaster police, said: "These four men were responsible for a number of break-ins that saw high value amounts of tobacco and other products being stolen from local businesses across the county. One particular business was repeatedly targeted and this would no doubt have had a knock on effect for the company and its staff."

Early prediction of spontaneous patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) closure and pdaassociated outcomes: A prospective cohort investigation
Jonathan L. Slaughter, Clifford L. Cua, Jennifer L. Notestine, Brian K. Rivera, Laura Marzec, Erinn M. Hade, Nathalie L. Maitre, Mark A. Klebanoff, Megan Ilgenfritz, Vi T. Le, Dennis J. Lewandowski, Carl H. Backes
Background: Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), the most commonly diagnosed cardiovascular condition in preterm infants, is associated with increased mortality and harmful long-term outcomes (chronic lung disease, neurodevelopmental delay). Although pharmacologic and/or interventional treatments to close PDA likely benefit some infants, widespread routine treatment of all preterm infants with PDA may not improve outcomes. Most PDAs close spontaneously by 44-weeks postmenstrual age; treatment is increasingly controversial, varying markedly between institutions and providers. Because treatment detriments may outweigh benefits, especially in infants destined for early, spontaneous PDA closure, the relevant unanswered clinical question is not whether to treat all preterm infants with PDA, but whom to treat (and when). Clinicians cannot currently predict in the first month which infants are at highest risk for persistent PDA, nor which combination of clinical risk factors, echocardiographic measurements, and biomarkers best predict PDA-associated harm. Methods: Prospective cohort of untreated infants with PDA (n=450) will be used to predict spontaneous ductal closure timing. Clinical measures, serum (brain natriuretic peptide, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide) and urine (neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, heart-type fatty acid-binding protein) biomarkers, and echocardiographic variables collected during each of first 4 postnatal weeks will be analyzed to identify those associated with long-term impairment. Myocardial deformation imaging and tissue Doppler imaging, innovative echocardiographic techniques, will facilitate quantitative evaluation of myocardial performance. Aim1 will estimate probability of spontaneous PDA closure and predict timing of ductal closure using echocardiographic, biomarker, and clinical predictors. Aim2 will specify which echocardiographic predictors and biomarkers are associated with mortality and respiratory illness severity at 36-weeks postmenstrual age. Aim3 will identify which echocardiographic predictors and biomarkers are associated with 22 to 26-month neurodevelopmental delay.

Q: A function is pulling variable values from a different function, but I don't want it to and don't know how it's doing it For my programming class we are making a main() function that calls multiple other functions. Two of these functions are numberStats() and triad(), both of which have their own variables, no global variables are used, and numberStats() is called immediately before triad(). Neither codes have similar variable names, but for some reason when I use the triad function, which asks the user to input 3 ints, it spits out the first int correctly but the 2nd and 3rd ints are the two ints inputted into the numberStats() function. Can anyone explain why this is happening and what I might be able to do to fix it? Thank you in advance, new blood here.
   EDIT*
here's the output code: (if it's italicized then it's the numbers I entered in as input)
    numberStats: Please enter two positive ints: 5 800  //I input 5 and 800

    800 is larger
    5 is smaller
    800 + 5 = 805
    800 - 5 = 795
    800 * 5 = 4000
    800 % 5 = 0

    triad: Please enter three positive ints:
    1 2 3    //I input 1 2 and 3
    you entered 1, 5, and 800
    Not all equal
    Sorted order: 1, 5, 800

I obviously did not enter 1, 5, and 800 for the triad function, why would it tell me I did?
EDIT** Source code for numberStats() and triad():
    void numberStats(void)
{
    int var1, var2, a, b, c, d;

    printf("numberStats: Please enter two positive ints: ");
    scanf("%d %d",&var1, &var2);

    if (var1 > var2){
            printf("%d is larger\n",var1);
            printf("%d is smaller\n",var2);

    a = var1 + var2;
    b = var1 - var2;
    c = var1 * var2;
    d = var1 % var2;

            printf("%d + %d = %d\n",var1,var2,a);
            printf("%d - %d = %d\n",var1,var2,b);
            printf("%d * %d = %d\n",var1,var2,c);
            printf("%d %% %d = %d\n",var1,var2,d);
    }
    else if (var1 < var2){
            printf("\n%d is larger\n",var2);
            printf("%d is smaller\n",var1);

    a = var2 + var1;
    b = var2 - var1;
    c = var2 * var1;
    d = var2 % var1;

            printf("%d + %d = %d\n",var2,var1,a);
            printf("%d - %d = %d\n",var2,var1,b);
            printf("%d * %d = %d\n",var2,var1,c);
            printf("%d %% %d = %d\n",var2,var1,d);
    }
    else if (var1 == var2){
            printf("%d and %d are the same\n",var1,var2);

    a = var1 + var2;
    b = var1 - var2;
    c = var1 * var2;
    d = var1 % var2;

            printf("%d + %d = %d\n",var1,var2,a);
            printf("%d - %d = %d\n",var1,var2,b);
            printf("%d * %d = %d\n",var1,var2,c);
            printf("%d %% %d = %d\n",var1,var2,d);
    }
}

void triad(void)
{
    int x, y, z, low, mid, high;

    printf("\ntriad: Please enter three positive ints: \n");
    scanf("%d, %d, %d", &x, &y, &z);
    printf("you entered %d, %d, and %d\n", x, y, z);

    if (x == y && y == z){
            printf("All equal\n");
    }
    if (x <= y && x <= z){
            low = x;
            if (y <= z){
                    mid = y;
                    high = z;
            }
            else{
                    mid = z;
                    high = y;
            }
            printf("Not all equal\n");
    }
    if (x >= y && x >= z){
            high = x;
            if (y <= z){
                    low = y;
                    mid = z;
            }
            else{
                    low = z;
                    mid = y;
            }
            printf("Not all equal\n");
    }
    if ((x >= y && x <= z) || (x <= y && x >= z)){
            mid = x;
            if (y >= z){
                    high = y;
                    low = z;
            }
            else{
                    high = z;
                    low = y;
            }
            printf("Not all equal\n");
    }
    printf("Sorted order: %d, %d, %d\n", low, mid, high);
}

A: The functions triad() and scanf() are causing the trouble:
int x, y, z, low, mid, high;

printf("\ntriad: Please enter three positive ints: \n");
scanf("%d, %d, %d", &x, &y, &z);

You're looking for commas in the data, but not entering them (you gave "1 2 3" but you needed to give "1,2,3" with commas (and optional spaces) separating the numbers).  scanf() returned 1 instead of 3, but you ignored it.  Don't!  Check your inputs, every time.
As a result, you have quasi-random values in y and z, which is why you're running into problems.
A basic debugging technique is to print the values just read:
if (scanf("%d, %d, %d", &x, &y, &z) != 3)
   …report error and bail out…
printf("x = %d, y = %d, z = %d\n", x, y, z);

There will be a Community Meeting this Wednesday to discuss the proposed Biggs Ford Solar Center. The meeting will be held at the Walkersville Library at 6 p.m.
The property consists of 151 acres at the corner of Dublin Road and Biggs Ford Road. The address is 8300 Biggs Ford Road. A trust listing former Walkersville Burgess Ralph Whitmore as the trustee owns the farm.
The applicants withdrew their original application for their facility after County Executive Jan Gardner placed a moratorium in January 2016 on such zoning requests while the county considered how to handle them. The original request would have been a special exception to the current zoning of agriculture on the land, and proposed using all of the property for solar power generation.
it is contiguous to Walkersville's Community Growth Boundary.
No Rezoning Application has been submitted to Frederick County at the time of this writing. The original Special Exception Application can be read here.
The community meeting is required prior to the company, Coronoal Energy, officially filing their rezoning application.


Heeps of Sheeps: On the road again.
Picture this: Kevin's interview is at 3:30PM, he's showered and shaved (well, not entirely--yes, Stephen, apparently you can get a job in New Zealand with a beard; in fact, they're everywhere!), and we pull up to a roadside parking spot in the middle of the CBD. The only thing left to do is change into 'business' attire. Since you can't exactly stand up in the van, and it's kind of cramped, we figured what's the harm in changing in a 24-hour public bathroom downtown. In he went with shorts, a tankini, and canvas shoes, looking like a regular beach bum hippy. And, in a matter of minutes, out came a well-groomed, fully-suited, hair-gelled, belted and tied business professional! I wished him good luck, plopped myself in the closet Starbucks with wifi access, and waited him out.
The interview went well, and all we could do now was wait. We spent the rest of the week in Wellington searching for a flat to rent, which is a difficult endeavour when free internet is only accessible in McDonalds. We also decided that we were spending too much money on staying in a campground ($20 a night that we could be spending on better things, i.e. wine), so we started camping out on top of the Mount Victoria lookout, which oversees the entire city. This also meant that we were giving up our amenities (toilets, showers, water), so we started poaching that off of McDonalds as well.
The view from the top of Mt Vic.
We met up with Mara and her partner Ali (thank you Kayla!), who host a weekly acoustic night at the Southern Cross Bar. They were both so lovely and really helped us get acquainted with Wellington. The summer weather came out, despite the intense winds (they don't call it Windy Welly for nothing), and we were able catch some rays at Oriental Bay between flat viewings before making our way down south. This time, we applied enough sunscreen!
Kevin getting his swim on.
So Friday rolls around and we have secured both a flat and a job (well, Kevin has), and Tuesday is both our move-in day as well as when Kevin has to go in for his orientation. We booked a spot on the Bluebridge Ferry to the South Island, extended our caravan rental until Monday for drop-off in Christchurch, and arranged for one-way flights back to Wellington. Mara and Ali were kind enough to let us drop off most of our luggage at their flat so that we didn't have to travel back with so much stuff. Once again I stress that travelling is WAY easier than travel-moving!
From Picton, instead of going straight down to Christchurch, we decided to take a detour over to Nelson to meet up with more friends of friends. We drove through Malborough, which is another vast wine region. We probably drove through 50 km of grapevines! We had heard such great things about Nelson, but unfortunately only spent one evening there, camped in the driveway of Phil and Vanessa's new place (thanks to Sean for the intro!). The view from their deck was unbelievable! I'm kicking myself now for not taking any pictures while there. Instead, we spent the evening outside drinking local wine and beer, getting eaten alive by mosquitoes.
The next morning, the weather was cloudy and grey, so we hit the road again, en route to Christchurch. No pictures were taken on this stretch, as the wind and rain prevented us from even opening the windows. We drove right along the east coast of the South Island, which was pretty incredible. We even saw some sea otters on the rocks! We also played russian roulette with our gas tank, driving over 40 km with the gas light on... Stupid GPS telling us there was a gas station, where clearly no gas station had existed for quite some time!
But alas, we made it to Christchurch by late afternoon on Sunday. Since our Lonely Planet guide was printed in late-2010, the information was obviously outdated. What we came across instead of a vibrant British-influenced city was essentially the remnants of a ghost town. We were coming up to the 1-year anniversary of the February 22 earthquake and the entire CBD continued to be fenced off, guarded by military. The streets were scattered with office furniture, bricks, glass, and other debris. Windows were smashed in, inventory laid dormant inside the stores. It was so eerie. The fact that it was Sunday afternoon with grey cloudy skies definitely added to the ambience.
The light grey is evidence of the restoration of all of the cracks in the building.
This building is literally being held up by cargo containers.
You can see the huge cracks in the wall of this church.
We spent the night on what we thought was a quiet street, only to find out at 7:30AM that we were parked right beside a school. We awoke to giggling, chattering, and a few screeches here and there. We reluctantly returned the caravan to the rental shop (goodbye home!) and caught a shuttle to the airport. It was discovered that Kiwis are in no way at all worried about domestic travelers... We walked through the security section of the airport a grand total of 3 times without so much as a glance! Makes you realize how big of a deal we North Americans make of something that may not really be such a big deal.
I wanted to leave you with a more light-hearted photo I took inside a mall in Christchurch where, once again, we were poaching wifi. This may not make sense to anyone but my brother and sister, and probably my two cousins who live next door to my grandmother... If I could've fit, I would've. No questions!
It's Postman Pat! And his black and white cat!


Located in the Hotel Lobby, this interesting shop features a variety of specialities as well as beach chairs, umbrellas, sun block, sand toys, pails and shovels for the beach. Stocked with many personal items that you may have left at home, plus water, soda, home-made snacks, candy and more!

It's Christmas morning, 1983. In a scene played out in homes everywhere, kids quietly tiptoe from their rooms, discover Santa's deliveries, and erupt into joyous flurry of ribbons and packages and stockings, eagerly awaiting the arrival of Mom and Dad, who—for some reason—seem more tired this morning than usual. And then, after the gifts are given and the coffee is brewed, Dad turns on the TV and is greeted by two familiar faces—Joan Lunden and Mike Douglas, wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, and welcoming them to the very first broadcast of the Disney Parks Christmas Parade, from Magic Kingdom Park in Florida...

And just like that, a new holiday tradition had begun.
It was quite a novel idea for The Walt Disney Company. With Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and all their friends joining Santa in a grand procession down Main Street, USA. complete with toy soldiers, dancing snowmen, and whimsical floats, the Christmas Parade had long been a must-see event for guets visiting either Disneyland or Walt Disney World during the holiday season. So why not make it an annual tradition for all families, everywhere? After all, Disney is a company built on creating memories that last a lifetime.
The Christmas morning broadcast began in 1983
That very first Christmas morning broadcast was a hit, establishing itself as a new family tradition for millions of Disney fans. Through the years, the broadcast has changed and evolved to spotlight not only the parade itself, but also up-and-coming artists, television and music performers, Broadway productions, and more than 500 cheerleaders accompanying stars of Disney Channel's hit High School Musical movies. Whatever it is you love about Disney, you're bound to find it watching the parade—mixed in with traditions that make Christmas so special.
Take, for example, the year that Neil Patrick Harris hosted from Magic Kingdom Park in Florida. He led a large-scale song-and-dance number up Main Street, USA involving a cast of hundreds, including Belle, Cinderella, Snow White, and all Seven Dwarfs, and joined by dancers from Newsies and even Mickey himself. "Are you ready for Christmas?" he sang. "Are you ready to have some fun? In the shiney December sun, because that's what we're going to do..."
Maintaining a broad appeal—and nostalgia for what we loved as kids—has helped keep the Disney Parks Christmas Parade broadcast a family favorite tradition since 1983. I can recall seeing those classic Toy Soldiers and Snowmen and funny looking Reindeer in the parade when I was a kid myself in the 80s. The Christmas Parade is so nostalgic and it tries to bring out all the things that go hand-in-hand with the Christmas season—like baking cookies, wrapping presents, or mailing a card to Santa. These things are perennial. You can see the joy on those kids in the crowds faces. They're so excited. When the Toy Soldiers come by, or Mickey and Minnie—that's what it's all about. That's what Walt wanted—something he could enjoy with his kids. That's truly magical!
