But we have to take into account the needs of all our guests & our staff at this time. Our experience shows that this area can be a cause of problems.

Property & Goods
- The Restaurant does not accept any responsibility for loss or damage to a client's property & We try our best always to be flexible & accommodating. It is certainly our intention to do everything we can to make your Christmas enjoyable. But we have to take into account the needs of all our guests at this time
Service Charge
- Please note a discretionary 10% Service Charge will be added to bills. It is your right not to pay. If we have failed to justify it in any way, if you are unhappy about this for any reason, or if you simply disagree with the principle, please bring this to our attention & strike the amount off the
- We apply the charge because we believe that great service is fundamental to our success. We encourage all our staff to go the extra mile to look after our customers & the charge is used to encourage & reward this – collectively. The money is fairly distributed amongst ALL the staff (including those in the kitchen & the bar too) because the team relies upon every member to be effective. The kitchen staff, from chefs to kitchen porters, are often the unsung heroes in every restaurant. We believe passionately that they deserve to share in any rewards for good
- For the record, every member of our staff is paid MORE than the minimum wage. We have never used the service charge income to make up any shortfalls in pay & never would. Instead the money is added to monthly remuneration & also contributes to our significant staff incentive We try very hard to make sure that the best people get the recognition & rewards they are due, rather than just those handling the payment transaction. That's why we work so hard to ask for names of people who have gone the extra mile – on the feedback forms & in our manager meetings.
- It has always worked for us by encouraging teamwork. It helps us with staff retention in the kitchen. The end-result is, hopefully, better service, a better product & continuing customer satisfaction.
- If you are dissatisfied with any aspect of your experience you should bring the problem or issue to the attention of the duty manager as soon as possible so that all reasonable efforts can be made to rectify the situation to your satisfaction at the
- If for any reason, the issue cannot be resolved to your liking & you wish to make a complaint, you should put it in writing to The Manager, Mr Thomas's Chop House, 52 Cross Street, Manchester, M2 7AR or e-mail email@example.com

SHINE - Stroke Hyperglycemia Insulin Network Effort
Registered with ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01369069
NIH Project Number: 5U01NS069498-05
Satus: Enrolling
This is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, controlled trial, with blinded outcomes. It aims to determine the efficacy and provide further safety data on the use of insulin infusion therapy for glucose control in hyperglycemic acute ischemic stroke patients. Treatment with insulin infusion will be given within 12 hours of symptom onset. The primary outcome to be assessed at 90 days will be the difference in favorable outcome measured by the modified Rankin Scale score in the insulin infusion group compared to the control group. The rates of symptomatic hypoglycemia with prolonged neurological worsening as well as asymptomatic hypoglycemia will be assessed. The secondary outcomes will assess additional neurological and functional outcomes. This highly collaborative research program is nearly guaranteed to advance the field of stroke care.

Thank you for visiting our past auction result archives. If you have an item identical (or similar) to this auction lot, please call, write or contact us to discuss. We will be able to help you.
Lot # 61 (of 1641) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
1887-1889 N172 Old Judge Collection (44 cards)
Starting Bid - $1,000, Sold For - $7,703
Collection of forty-three different (plus one duplicate) N172 Old Judge tobacco cards. The collection is highlighted by Hall of Famer Charles Comiskey (1886 Brownie Champs portrait) and Jim Mutrie (manager), as well as many significant stars. Included are many cards with outstanding high-quality images. In the following listing, cards are identified by the numbers provided by the comprehensive Old Judge book checklist. A complete listing of the cards follows: #17-2 Baldwin (1888 copyright, Detroit), 23-4 Bastian (1888 copyright, Cleveland, Fr), 59-4 Burns (Chicago), 64-4 Cantz (1888 copyright, St. Louis), 72-1 Casey (Philadelphia), 86-2 Comiskey (HOF, portrait; nice-looking card with photo slightly smaller than mount on left edge, which could be interpreted by some as a sign of a remounted card but in this case we think is just a slightly irregular production cut and mount as made), 97-3 Crane (Washington), 99-3 Crooks (1888 copyright, St. Louis), 110-2 Dailey (Philadelphia), 114-5 Daly (1888 copyright, Chicago), 132-15 Dorgan (NY), 141-3 Dwyer (1888 copyright, Chicago), 152-5 Farmer (Pittsburgh), 153-6 Farrar (Philadelphia), 157-1 Ferguson (Philadelphia), 160-3 Fields (Pittsburgh), 163-4 Flint (1888 copyright, Chicago), 165-3 Fogarty (Philadelphia), 168-3 Foster (NY), 170-6 Foutz (1888 copyright, Brooklyn), 179-1 Ganzel (Detroit), 187-1 Gilks (1888 copyright, Cleveland), 233-3 Hoover (1888 copyright, Philadelphia), 239-3 Hudson (St. Louis), 263-1 King (1888 copyright, St. Louis), 297-10 Mattimore (Philadelphia), 298-3 Maul (1888 copyright, Pittsburgh), 312-2 McGuire (Philadelphia), 320-3 McTamany (Brooklyn), 325-1 Milligan (1888 copyright, St. Louis), two 332-2 Mulvey (Philadelphia), 336-3 Mutrie (manager, 1888 copyright, NY, photo light), 345-4 Nicholson (tagging player, St. Louis), 355-1 O'Day (Washington), 366-5 Pfeffer (tagging player, 1888 copyright, Chicago), 370-3 Pinkney (Brooklyn), 384-2 Richardson (1888 copyright, Boston), 396-5 Ryan (Chicago), 405-3 Schriver (1888 copyright, Philadelphia), 425-1 Smith (1888 copyright, Brooklyn), 464-4 Trott (Baltimore), 468-1 Twitchell (Cleveland), and 485-6 Welch (1889 copyright, Philadelphia). The fronts range from Vg to Ex-Mt condition (with a few lesser). Contrast varies, as is always the case with Old Judges, but overall this is a particularly strong group with reference to photo quality. Almost all of the cards have glue or paper remnants on the back from at one time being mounted into a scrapbook; several other cards have paper loss or pen/pencil notations. Such minor back imperfections would not even have to be mentioned in the "old days" of collecting, but are now noted due to the impact on grading by professional grading services. A little back damage usually "comes with the territory" with Old Judges, and most collectors are very tolerant of this, especially since so many cards were originally saved in scrapbook albums. Scans of all cards are provided online. Total: 44 cards. Reserve $1,000. Estimate $2,000+. SOLD FOR $7,703

Silverstein – Scenes From Parisian Life lyrics
The sun comes up a little later
So you can drink a little longer
I wish I had a dream last night
I wish I had a dream last night
So half the time you'd be here
I wish you were here
I'm on your vine now, so high, I can see Italy

The brief: 200 word suspense…1st prsn, or 3rd restricted; no reveal
"Suspense can be thought of as generated by the deliberate withholding of information from a reader through the strategic use of point of view." Spend some time writing a first person, or third-person restricted, narrative where you lead your reader on but refuse to divulge the full picture of what is actually going on.
The lights are off, inside the building and out in the car park. This place is so familiar I don't need them. I tighten my grip on the handles of my bag, and feel to check I've left the desktop as clear after my rummaging as it'd been when I arrived.
One small chink of keys in my pocket is the only sound. My tread is silent as I cross the room. At the first door, as I place my hand on its handle I remember one hinge squeaks. I work a mouthful of spit, and dribble onto the one at waist height.
The handle makes no sound, the hinge is silent. I slip through and make sure the door doesn't 'clunk' as it's forced closed by the fitting above. Across the linoleum floor I feel the cold through my socks. The outer door opens without a sound. I slip my feet into my shoes waiting at the door sill. I get the keys from my right pocket, and lock the door again.
It's cold, a frost. The night's black, stars a bright contrast. Cold air stings my lungs, drowns the traffic noise. No-one will know. A sound alarm? Pff!

It's hard to imagine many people who wouldn't quickly surrender to the catchy melodies, playful R&B-tinged rhythms and John Legend-by-way-of-Stevie Wonder vocals that come together in rising pop singer Eric Hutchinson's music. The bean counter on his MySpace page has clocked past 1 1/2 million plays for a handful of his songs, suggesting this New York-based musician is well past cult-hero status.
Yet just last year, Hutchinson was dropped by Warner Bros. Records after the label's subsidiary to which he had been signed, Maverick Records, folded before his album was finished. So Hutchinson did what most singer/songwriters in their 20s have done when confronted by that all-too-common scenario: He felt depressed, briefly considered giving up, recommitted to his passion for music and soldiered on.

I've tried to write this a hundred times, but had a hard time finding the right words. I was very close to my grandmother. She was so loved. She is so missed.
My grandfather sat in a chair near her bed, resting his head on their joined hands. After some time, he stood, smoothed the hair from her forehead and kissed it gently. He stood there for a while, simply looking at her. I could tell he didn't want to leave her and I felt a bit guilty for witnessing such a private moment. When he finally did leave the hospital room, he came out holding her single shoe as if it were a child. It is a picture of grief I will never forget.
What does someone say in that moment, when they are saying goodbye to the person they've shared their life with? I love you. Thank you for loving me, for our sons, for everything. I'm not ready to lose you. I'm sorry.
My own thoughts reflected the selfish side of grief. I'm not ready either. I still need you. Are you proud of me? And later, standing in a department store, trying to pick out shoes through a haze of tears, I can't do this Grandma. You aren't here to tell me whether these are appropriate for a funeral or not.
Sitting at the funeral home and watching people come to pay their respects; I thought about how much of our lives belong to other people. Carolyn was a cherished, long-awaited only child. For a time, she belonged only to her parents. Later she was a student, a friend, an employee, a neighbor and a million other things. For many years, as a mother, she belonged to her four sons. As a grandmother, she belonged to us. As a great-grandmother, she first belonged to Trinity, the baby girl she never had. I was happy to share, and am so grateful for the bond she built with my daughter.
A lot of people can claim pieces of the years she spent on Earth. But as I watched my grandfather, bent over her recently closed casket with his head in his hands I realized that most of her had belonged to him.
I was humbled and a bit ashamed that I'd not considered her life before it included me, aside from the vague understanding that she'd had one. I imagined my grandparents when they were young, bringing home their first baby, buying their first home, building the family and life we all claim as our own now. I'd never before thought of them as being the same people that they'd been when they started their life together. I only truly understood the enormity of my grandfather's loss then, when I realized that for everything she was to others, she'd spent the largest portion of her life, 58 of her 76 years, being his wife.
It was a strange moment of understanding. Not unlike the first time a child realizes that teachers are real people and have lives outside of school. When I looked at my grandmother in her casket, I saw the woman I'd always seen. I imagine that my grandfather saw much more. I'd imagine he saw his high school sweetheart, the girl he married, the mother of his children, the woman who made a home and life with him. I'd guess that when my grandfather looked at my grandmother

Robert McCrie began his career in protection as a security guard in his home town of Toledo, Ohio. Upon graduating with a bachelor's degree, he began his teaching career in biology at the University of Toledo. He subsequently conducted research and studied in the US and Denmark. He next became an advertising copywriter on scientific and consumer accounts at a series of New York City advertising agencies. In 1970, he left advertising and started a newsletter concerned with protection of assets from loss. The next year he began consulting in a wide variety of issues concerning security. In the 1970's McCrie joined the advisory board of John Jay's Security Management Institute. In the following years, he became more involved at John Jay planning programs, lecturing, and aiding students. In 1986, McCrie joined the faculty on a tenure-track line, eventually reaching full professor and serving as chair (1997-2003). En route he obtained a doctorate in urban history under Richard C. Wade. McCrie has written and edited widely in the field, including Security Operations Management, published by Butterworth-Heinemann. In recent years, he has become committed to the radical reform of prisons in the US and other countries.

HONG KONG — Hong Kong Disneyland is adding an Iron Man-themed area in the hopes that the Marvel superhero's success at the Chinese box office will draw more visitors to the underachieving resort.
The park said the Iron Man Experience, set to open by late 2016, will include a thrill ride that will let visitors "take flight with Iron Man on an epic adventure" involving a "battle against alien invaders" across Hong Kong.
Fans will be able to take photos with the action character, view the different Iron Man suits and visit a gift shop.
Hong Kong Disneyland revealed few other details, such as the project's budget.
It's the latest in a series of expansions aimed at bolstering visitor numbers at the struggling park. At just 311 acres when it opened, Hong Kong Disneyland was the smallest of California-based Walt Disney Co.'s parks worldwide. Some $465 million in new attractions added over the past two years, including rides based on the "Toy Story" movies, have added a quarter to the park's size.
The expansion efforts so far appear to be paying off. The park earned a small profit of $14 million in its latest financial year, its first after losing hundreds of millions since opening in 2005.
The Iron Man ride would be the first based on a Marvel franchise for Disney, which bought Marvel for $4.2 billion in December 2009.
WASHINGTON — A half-scale model of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial that usually travels the country has been brought to Washington because the government shutdown is restricting access to the actual wall.
The memorial's creator, Jan C. Scruggs, brought the wall to Washington from Corvallis, Ore. The copy, which is metal and 250 feet long, and has been set up on the Georgetown University campus. It was open to the public, with free shuttles taking visitors to the campus from the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
The Vietnam Veterans Memorial on the Mall is technically closed and entrances have been barricaded, but that hasn't prevented tourists from getting around the barricades. Still, there have been reports that Park Police have periodically shooed visitors away.
"If we can't open it, we just bring in a replica!" Scruggs said in an email. "This really is an outrage."
At Georgetown, the model wall has been set up in front of Healy Hall and outside the Joseph Mark Lauinger Memorial Library. The library is named for a Georgetown student who died serving in Vietnam in 1970. Lauinger's name is on one of the wall's panels, and officials with the wall have been pointing it out to students.
The model wall is called "The Wall That Heals." It will remain on campus through Monday.
MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Art Museum is exhibiting more than 70 works done by 19th-century portrait painter Thomas Sully.
It's the first retrospective of the artist in 30 years and the first to present the artist's portraits and subject pictures.
Sully was known for employing drama and theatricality to his works. In some of his full-length portraits, he composed his figures as if they were onstage. Some of his subjects even seem to be trying to directly engage the viewer.
"Thomas Sully: Painted Performance" runs through Jan. 5. It travels to the San Antonio Museum of Art on Feb. 5.

Dr Paul Alexandre, a medical doctor, not much older than Modigliani. Dr. Alexandre together with his brother, Jean, set up a free house for artists in Paris.

He collected up to 25 paintings and 450 drawings by Modigliani, which were published only in 1990. In 1914, Dr. Alexandre went to the army and had to stop his support of the artists
