Baby Steps
My husband and I have been married for over 10 years (very happily). When we first met my husband introduced me to "swinging" (which I was totally against). In the process of trying to fit into this lifestyle we found several promising "long-term" relationships. I didn't think I would be happy but I fell in love and my husband and I were so very happy - we even offered the possiblity of the other male moving in with us. Guess that scared him off - LOL. Anyway, we have been out of the lifestyle for several years now because we haven't been able to "connect" with anyone.
I was watching a show on tv lastnight called "Strange Sex" and there was a story about Polyamory - a women and two men and she was in love with both of them. I never knew until now that this type of lifestyle existed. I thought I was just nuts being able to love more than one person. My husband always tells me that I have a "Big Heart" and alot to offer someone.
We live in Southeast Florida.
We look forward to discovering new friendships.

The Blues
I've been having trouble with feeling "the blues". I have my son Paul, who's a major blessing and makes me so happy when I see his smiling face. In my past, I make mistakes, and that's how Paul came to be, but I'm set in purity now. Have been for 3 months. It's difficult for me, since my love language is physical touch. It used to be that I felt like I needed a husband and couldn't live without getting married and felt like everyone else was getting married except me. I'm content now. As a Christian, I understand that God has planned everything from the beginning. And if He has a husband for me, I really really wanna meet him. And if not,...it's okay. Just lately, even though I'm content, I've been feeling down about it. I would love to have someone there, who's like my best friend. Someone to worship with and grow gardens with and be silly with. Although I do have my son; it's not the same. I trust that if God has a man for me, He will bring us together. ...I guess it's the wanting someone to be there that bothers me...
My church is made up of mostly elderly people. Lovely people, but none my age. The Pastor's son just got married. Everytime I thought I found a good man to date...I just got hurt because he turned out to be exactly what I wasn't looking for. He misrepresented himself. All of my friends are online, basically. Everyone else is always working. My dad is at work almost all the time, and my mom goes off with our neighbor almost every day all day long. We go to a church for fellowship on Wednesday mornings and another church that night for Bible Study. Plus, not having a car makes it very hard to get out and meet people.
and thank you :)
i am sorry you are feeling blue. we are here for you if only virtually. Have you sought out any groups or support in your hometown?

Almost 4weeks after BA 350cc. I noticed some uneven side boob. Is this something that will fix itself with time? (Photo)
Doctor Answers 3
Breast Augmentation - Post Op Swelling?
Thank you for your question. You are still early in the post-operative period. It typically takes 3 - 6 months for the swelling to subside and and implants to settle into proper position. Please discuss your concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon. Also, make sure you follow all of your plastic surgeons post-operative instructions regarding level of physical activity and use of a support bra. Hope this helps and good luck with your recovery.

I appreciate your question.
Right now, you are very early on in the post op recovery period. It will take 3-6 months for you to feel comfortable having implants in your body and for them to settle. This time allows for you to physically and psychologically adapt to your new body image. There are many variables that contribute to a breast augmentation's final result. Preop size and shape, IMF location, location of the implants and type of implant. Patients heal at different rates and each breast will sometimes heal at a different rate. Rest, relax, recover and heal. Express your concerns to your surgeon so he/she can examine you. Then reassess final result at 6 months.
The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.
Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.
Best of luck!

Almost 4weeks after BA 350cc. I noticed some uneven side boob. Is this something that will fix itself with time?
You are very early in recovery and based on your Foley results look very good. It really takes 3 months to be able to evaluate implant position. I would suggest he give it time but of course seek follow-up with your plastic surgeon.

Gallery Fashion Fix - Spring 2014
Check out who's clinched the award for our favourite fashion moment of the day!
Feeling a little bit ropey after a heavy night? If you've ploughed through a full English breakfast and you're still feeling the effects of one too many wines, it's time to start masking your symptoms. Here are the best super-sleuth techniques to hide your pain until 5.30pm…
We've all been there – a hangover in the office is about as fun as being told off by your boss. But with Christmas just around the corner we're all bound to over indulge and end up with that nauseous feeling when the alarm goes off the next day. Tackle your hangover head-on with these tips and tricks…
Hangovers are horrendous, but you're going to need a shower if you're going to hide it in the office. Alcohol can seep out through your pores, giving you that oh-so-unattractive brewery smell. Avoid it with some great shower gel, especially one with a burst of mint or tea tree to wake you up.
Even if a fry up doesn't help, don't skip an energy drink or some Berocca. The vitamins and electrolytes should help to rehydrate your system and get rid of that pounding headache.
After a heavy night of drinking your mouth will feel like the backside of a badger. Keep some heavy-duty mouthwash in your office drawer and use it when you need a menthol pick-me-up. We promise it will make you feel better (and your boss won't be able to smell the leftover gin on your breath).
The idea of doing anything other than hovering by the loo may fill you with dread, but nothing hides a hangover like cleaning off last night's debris and presenting a fresh face to the world. Try a brightening moisturizer to give your skin a little lift too.
Don't talk about your hangover! Unless all your work colleagues were at the same party and feel equally terrible, we'd suggest ignoring it completely and acting normal. Of course, if you throw up in the office you're on your own!
Too much alcohol leads to dry, red eyes, which is a telltale sign you've been up to no good. Minimise it with some eye drops from your local pharmacy…
Concentrating with a hangover will be your ultimate challenge, especially at the 2pm meeting when the tiredness kicks in. Perfect your 'listening face', tilt your head convincingly to the side and avoid falling asleep with your eyes open…it will be over soon!
Self-inflicted suffering is the worst, but now you're in this mess you've got no choice by to follow it through. Keep your chin up, drink some water and bring out your inner superwoman!

Ask AutoGuide No. 19 – Nissan 370Z vs. Ford Mustang GT
Our regular Ask AutoGuide feature is all about helping distressed shoppers find the perfect vehicle, be it a cavernous crossover, a sensible sedan or something else entirely. Patrons send us a list of what they need and we get to work separating gold nuggets from gravel to generate a list of recommendations. But this week things are a little different. James forwarded us a message asking for guidance choosing between two different vehicles. Making things easy for us he's done all the hard work, now all we have to do is share our opinion.
He's trying to decide between two legendary performance cars: the high-tech Nissan 370Z and Ford's powerful Mustang GT. He wants a fun weekend car to augment his daily driver, a Mazda3 sedan. James is after something that delivers a mountain of on-road enjoyment but is equipped to handle the occasional jaunt around a racetrack; upgraded brakes and suspension would be nice. Proving his connoisseur credentials, a manual transmission is mandatory.
Did we just say this was easy? The Z and the GT are formidable performance machines, and both cost around $30,000; choosing a winner is no simple task.
Suggestion #1 – 2014 Nissan 370Z
Since its introduction in late 1969 Nissan's Z-Car has been a respected nameplate. Even die-hard muscle-car folk acknowledge its performance capability and heritage, giving the rising-sun two-door a guarded nod when spotted on the street. It may not have the ability to outrun a Corvette but it's got enough power to deliver a nasty surprise to unsuspecting cars in the adjacent lane.
Continuing this performance history is today's 370Z. The coupe marries expressive design to strong performance, which makes for an all-around capable machine.
As its name suggests the car is powered by a 3.7-liter engine. It continues Nissan's tradition of building some of the best V6s in the business. Like a hydroelectric powerplant the Z's VQ37VHR could run a small neighborhood, providing 332 horses with 270 lb-ft of torque. It spins to a lusty 7,500 RPM and can be paired to a six-speed manual or a persona non grata seven-speed automatic.
Excess weight is just as dangerous for vehicles as it is for humans; it degrades performance, impedes handling and lengthens stopping distances. To help cut excess flab the 370Z's hood, doors and hatch are crafted of aluminum. Suffice to say the Z is relatively light on its feet, weighing in at 3,278 pounds with the six-speed cog-crate.
Inside, the car comes with two seats, three cup holders and four speakers, standard. Automatic temperature control and push-button start are also included, as are power windows and door locks. Additionally, the exterior has its share of handy features including HID headlights and LED tail lamps.
All of these goodies are included in the base 370Z, which starts at about $31,000 out the door. But James wants a little more than just an entry-level model, which is why he's been eyeing the sport package. This $3,030 option makes a nice vehicle even better, adding special performance shock absorbers, 19-inch forged wheels, sport brakes and a limited-slip differential. Nissan's innovative SynchroRev Match system is also included, which makes down-shifting a breeze by automatically spinning the engine to the appropriate speed as the driver changes gears. It's as clever as it is effective and it's guaranteed to make you look and sound like a professional driver.
SEE ALSO: 2011 Nissan 370Z NISMO Review
There's a lot to like about the 370Z, but as with everything in life there are a few drawbacks. The car has issues with its cooling system and brakes; specifically they don't handle stress very well. The vehicle is known to overheat and have stopping issues when driven hard. In our own testing we managed to overheat the car in just a few laps.
Understandably these are pretty dramatic flaws in a product that's supposedly designed for performance driving, and they should give anyone pause that wants to track their Z-machine. For these reasons we're leery of Nissan's offering. Can Ford do better? Let's find out.
Suggestion #2 – 2014 Ford Mustang GT
Like Budweiser beer, Levi's jeans and Willie Nelson the Mustang is a flag-waving American classic. It's a nameplate that's literally steeped in history; the car was there when man landed on the moon and the Vietnam War drew to a close, more significantly it persisted through the 1970s fuel crunch and the despicable '80s.
The car is a survivor, and in the latest century it's not just getting by, it's thriving. Today's 'Stang is the best ever. Base V6 versions are totally acceptable, the fire-breathing Shelby will eviscerate unprepared drivers, and even convertible models make a compelling argument for open-air driving. Somewhere in the middle of this lineup is the fast and capable GT coupe.
It's powered by a high-tech 5.0-liter V8. With quad camshafts, all-aluminum construction, 32 valves and variable cam timing this engine is ready for action, be it on the street or strip. About the only feature it's missing is direct injection. The result of all that engineering is 420 horsepower on premium fuel (a little less on the cheap stuff) and 390 lb-ft of twist, numbers even the muscular 370Z can't hope to match.
But don't think this is an over-cammed lumper like engines from Detroit's glory days. Turns out the "Coyote" is slicker than a Slip 'N Slide coated in Crisco, and it revs out to a high-strung 7,000 RPM. It's fantastically refined and sounds positively orgasmic at full song. Can you tell we're fans?
The most affordable Mustang GT stickers for around 32 grand. At that price drivers get a magical 302 married to a short-throw six-speed manual transmission – something we'll admit doesn't feel half as good as the Nissan stick. Functional cloth-covered seats are also part of the deal, as are HID headlights and sequential LED tail lamps. But as with the Z, James wants more.
In Ford-land he needs the $2,495 GT Tack Pack, a surprisingly affordable extra that gets drivers some nice performance additions. It includes a 3.73-ratio Torsen limited-slip differential, a radiator from the BOSS 302 'Stang to keep cooling problems at bay (Nissan, pay attention) and upgraded brakes. Special 19-inch wheels wrapped in Z-rated high performance summer tires complete the picture. With the track pack and destination fees the car should cost around $34,190.
SEE ALSO: 2013 Ford Mustang GT Convertible Review
With 420 ponies the Mustang is all about acceleration, but don't think this old horse can't turn because she can change direction like the tip of a bullwhip. The Ford handles nearly as well as it sprints, though its rear suspension can cause problems. Like something from a museum the Mustang's aft-end is supported by what amounts to an iron log. The car features an archaic live axle, something that belongs under a tractor, not a modern performance machine. In its defense it's probably the most civilized one ever made but it'll still buck and kick if you hit bumps just right, though that isn't an issue on well-maintained roads… or smooth tracks.
In addition to this downside there are a couple others. The 370Z is slightly more fuel efficient, though they both sticker at 26 miles per gallon highway; the Nissan does better around town. Also, a brand-new Mustang is just around the corner, one that's widely expected to feature new powertrains and a modern suspension. It could be something worth waiting for.
Given a choice we'd cast out ballot for the Mustang. Its V8 engine is astoundingly good and it doesn't wilt under pressure like the 370Z. In his e-mail James said he has a soft spot in his heart for Japanese tuner vehicles, but between these two we feel the American car is a better choice. If you haven't driven a Mustang recently, trust us, it's now far less of a pony car and feels dialed in like a true sports car.
As always, good luck James in your quest for a new car and thanks again for taking the time to Ask AutoGuide.
If you need a little assistance shopping for your next vehicle feel free to do the same. Send a short message to firstname.lastname@example.com. Let us know the basics of what you're looking for. How many seats do you need? What size of vehicle do you want? How much are you willing to spend? With some of those fundamentals out of the way we'll get busy to come up with two or three must-see vehicles that you'll have to put on your test-drive list.

Thomas Perry won the 1983 Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America for Best First Novel with his debut of The Butcher's Boy. In this long-anticipated third installment, the mafia hitman emerges from retirement to tie up the loose ends of a score he thought was settled 10 years before. Also returning is Elizabeth Waring, who's been moving up the ladder in the Department of Justice by stepping on the toes of organized crime.
Fans of the audiobook series can breathe a sigh of relief, as Michael Kramer continues his fine work narrating the ruthlessly efficient assassin's bloody march toward freedom. Raspy and gruff without any cheesy wise guy embellishment, Kramer's smooth rumble makes for a slick Butcher's Boy who is clearly a head and shoulders above the slimy Cosa Nostra soldiers sent to dispatch him. He goes to Waring to update his intel on the whereabouts of the under-boss who sent the henchmen, giving her some 20-year-old dirt on the older generation in exchange. As the Butcher's Boy steadily murders first the clowns sent to catch him, then the bosses that sent the clowns, Waring races against the rising body count to either turn the Butcher's Boy into a Justice Department informant or just turn him in.
Kramer has a finely tuned ear for Perry's pacing, and falls lock-step into the rhythms of this righteous killing spree. Sure, the Butcher's Boy has murdered untold numbers of people on behalf of the mob, but all he wants now is freedom from the mob. Michael Kramer finds space to make him respectable and even likable. Thomas Perry has updated the character for middle age without making him any less clever or more insecure. The author and the character both have their priorities in the right place, forgoing glamorous punch lines for the perfect kill shot and showing a willingness to sacrifice everything for the goal at hand, perhaps even Elizabeth Waring. Megan Volpert
Married and living in England under the name Michael Schaeffer, the assassin known as the Butcher's Boy is the target of a Mafia hit team sent to exact revenge for his deadly campaign against the Balacontano family years earlier. Schaeffer kills all three attackers, but he knows more will come and needs to find whoever sent them to end it once and for all.
Soon Elizabeth Waring, now high up in the Organized Crime Division of the Justice Department, receives a surprise late-night visit from the Butcher's Boy. Knowing she keeps track of the Mafia, he asks her who the three men work for. Not knowing they have been murdered, she gives him a name: Frank Tosca, an aspirant to the Balacontano throne. In exchange, he tells her about a murder Tosca committed over 20 years ago.
So begins a new assault on organized crime, and the uneasy alliance between the Butcher's Boy and Waring, who trade current information for old secrets. As the Butcher's Boy works his way ever closer to his quarry in an effort to protect his new way of life, Waring finds herself in a race against time, either to convince him to become a protected informant or to take him out of commission for good.
Prolong the suspense - listen to Thomas Perry's first two books in this series: The Butcher's Boy and Sleeping Dogs.
©2011 Thomas Perry (P)2011 Tantor
"Perry offers a compelling, rapid-fire plot, credible Mafia and FBI secondary characters, an indictment of self-serving officialdom, and the old soul-shattering moral dilemma: what is truth?" (Publishers Weekly)
"Good Ending to The Butcher's Boy Series"
I love listening to Thomas Perry books when narrated by Michael Kramer. This is the third book about the Butcher's Boy and I believe a good ending to the Butcher Boy novels.
If you like Thomas Perry books (I can't quite get into the monotonous narration of the Jane Whitefield novels) you must get Metzgers Dog. This is another book where we really get to like the bad guys. It's amazing how Thomas Perry really makes you root for the bad guy, in this case a killer, a terminator, an assassin. As an example, this assassin is actually in love with his wife and is taking revenge on the other bad guys, the mafia.
And as we listen, we're thinking, if the mafia had only left this assassin alone he'd be happily married. To want a killer to stay happily married takes good writing. And Thomas Perry manages to do this with style.
"Gotta love the Butcher's Boy character"
A Good Ending
come on, the Butcher's Boy. His deliberateness in how he approaches his life, the simple black and white way he deals with the attacks on him, yet his appeal is still there for a ruthless killer with little remorse. That complexity of why he protects his wife in the UK and Elizabeth, but has not issues with killing (not wounding) anyone in his way.
I like Jack Reacher style characters regardless of setting. Put them in outer space, in modern America, in a military setting, on an alien planet... no worries. Book has non moralistic vigilante-justice? Sign me up! (oh, I read urban fantasy, soft and hard sci-fi, trashy vampire and zombie novels too)
"Even better than book 2"
There are several "recaps" of things that happened in earlier books, and perhaps more about the Butcher Boy's childhood than expected - both are well handled and don't feel repetitive. And it means you can enjoy this book without having read either of the other two. though, why you wouldn't want to read the other two is beyond me.
Waring is a more fully fleshed character in this book - more distinctive and developed enough that you become just as concerned about what will happen to her as you are about what will happen to the Butcher's Boy. This was a very pleasant surprise because she seemed to be right on the edge of being a "real" character in the earlier books, and it was nice to see her have a place in this story other than as someone to hinder the Butcher's Boy.
This is the best of the 3 in the series - the characters are all so engaging that it's hard to believe you're not really supposed to be rooting for the Butcher's Boy. If you like this book, you'll probably enjoy Lawrence Block's Keller series. And, maybe, even Lee Child's Jack Reacher books. The "justice" being delivered is similar in them all.
The narration is very good. The story pacing is good - and the end is satisfying. I didn't find it especially gory, considering the subject matter.
"Best BB novel yet!"
I don't usually go for the serial killer books so rampant in the best seller lists lately, but I have to admit that, as in the "Dexter" series, I recognize the gleeful feeling when an anti-hero kills folks that need killing. Revenge is a superb plot-driver, and this book zooms along relentlessly, impossible to put down. I agree with the audible editor's opinion of Michael Kramer's delivery -- spot on, unsentimental, and with good inflection changes for various characters. I also agree that it would be best to read these 3 books in order.
I just finished it, and was amazed at the elegance with which Perry wrapped up the story. I never saw the ending coming -- one of the all-time best last-minute swerves that left me misty-eyed and jaw-dropped.
"Hope this isn't the last Butcher's Boy novel"
Yes, absolutely .Love Michael Kramer's performance. He even does the women's voices well
Thrillers are not my normal go-to reads, but I listened to Fidelity first and that got me interested in both Thomas Perry's work and Michael Kramer's narration
Have only heard him reading Thomas Perry novels. This compares equally well as the rest
no- 2 sittings but very late at night
I am so pleased to have found a "new" author (for me) and have been recommending him to everyone I know that is interested in a well rounded book. The Butcher's Boy is The Perfect Novel
"Fun ride"
Quite entertaining with good narration. Fast paced and to-the-point. I gave it 4 stars because, frankly, this isn't literature. The writing played fairly fast and loose with the logistics of his endeavors, but still enough was there for me to think "ah hah" or "oh, yeah". Good character development which makes this story very engaging.
"The series is starting to lose traction."
The book starts out well enough, if a bit too similar to the last one. Perhaps to avoid the reality that this book is not that dissimilar to "Sleeping Dogs", Perry creates a fantastic plot line, which stretched credibility with each passing event. Towards the end, it was difficult to see how the story could reach a credible conclusion. It didn't.
"the butcher's boy is back"
boy this is good! If you are a Thomas Perry fan this is so worth it!
"A lukewarm, so-so book"
A lukewarm, so-so book, "The Informant – a Butcher's Boy Novel" is a killing novel, not a murder mystery. Somehow it kept me going on but in the end my first impression was correct. I thought it was slow and totally unbelievable.
The Butcher's Boy (Schaeffer), a retired hit man, is killing mafia bosses after they put a contract out on him. He has no trouble finding them and shots always miss him. Elizabeth Waring of the Justice Department has a very unlikely alliance with him. She uses him as an informant and supplies him with information. In so doing, she's in constant conflict with her boss, Dale Hunsecker, who is depicted as an appointee and a buffoon with no experience for the job. The entire scenario is not believable.
I did find myself rooting for Schaeffer just because he was killing off Mafioso members because they were trying to kill him. This is despite the fact that he is a stone cold killer.
The ending resolves a complicated situation but is a letdown. Things could have been tied up more satisfactorily concerning Elizabeth's incompetent boss, where Schaeffer is heading, and the conclusion in general. In short, this was a disappointing book and I will not be reading another Thomas Perry book in the near future.
"I loved this series"
Read all three.
The writing was excellent and the narration, although a bit "laid back" was very good, after I got used to the low calm tone of the narrator. Nice surprise.
Hard to say....
I never would have thought that I could identify with a hired killer...oh well, live and learn

Radiesse in Nose Side Effects
Doctor Answers 2
Radiesse Swelling
Radiesse might cause some side effects such as swelling and bruising. And it is more painful than other fillers. Swelling will typically last two to three days. Also some bruising may occur. Check with your provider to ensure a blood vessel isn't compromised.
Learn more: http://www.capefearaesthetics.com/details/radiesse-17/
It is normal to have swelling after Radiesse injection
Typically swelling lasts 48 to 72 hours after a Radiesse injection. For the bluish discoloration, you'll want to consult with your doctor, as it is possible that a blood vessel has been compressed by the filler.
For the lump above the eye, you can try to gently massage it, but just ensure your hands are clean (to avoid introducing infection).
In my experience, once the swelling goes down, the shape of the treated area is usually apparent. However, Radiesse is not just a filler, it is also a collagen stimulant, which has an increasing effect up to several months.

Families are presented with second-to-none volunteer opportunities as coaches, team parents, and committee members.
Youth learn new skills, make new friends, develop essential character traits, and set individual and team goals. This improves self-confidence, promotes diversity, increases self-esteem, and improves physical condition. The positive time with family and friends in this environment strengthens our communities. Youth Sports puts emphasis on healthy relationships between adults and youth as well as family, with a goal to build social skills and sport skills with all participants for the future.

YMCA Youth Sports Philosophy
YMCA youth sports are based on the concept that fair play is the very essence part of competition. Everybody should have an equal opportunity to compete and a fair chance to participate.
Fair play implies respect for oneself; one's opponent and others involved in conducting the competition. Players, coaches, officials and spectators share a responsibility for fair play. Fair play sets the child above the game. The YMCA believes that its youth sports programs provide an excellent environment for developing sound spirit, mind and body. As these virtues grow, they will influence behavior in everyday life.
YMCA starts sports teams for kids of blended families. Registration is now underway for a new athletic opportunity for kids. Click here for more information.

Register Add Post at the Same Time
I recently moved a long running site from MT to WordPress 2.0 (I finally have a unified set of software across my sites!) but in the process I set up the site to require that people register in order to post. Since that point posts have been nonexistant. Does anyone know of a way (plugin or hack) to prompt someone to fill out all of the fields for both a registration and a new post on the same page? This would eliminate several extra steps for the user which would make a huge difference in participation.
I can probably hack it, but would like to avoid modifying the core and would hate to reinvent the wheel.

Depression Counselor
Terry Chapman, MSW, LICSW
Independent Clinical Social Worker
118 Adams Street, Suite 203, Fairmont, West Virginia
Feeling depressed from time to time is part of the human experience. However, medical depression which is chronic and/or acute can be debilitating and painful. Depression is a complex issue with no one clear contributing factor. As a therapist, I work with individuals to determine what factors contribute to each individual's feelings of depression. I then help clients identify existing strengths and skills they can use to increase a sense of well-being. In addition, I teach new skills to further empower individuals in managing their mood.
Depression Counselor
Linda Shreve, LPC
Psychotherapist, MS, LPC, NCC
Morgantown Mall, 5000 Greenbag Road, E7, Morgantown, West Virginia
Depression affects many individuals, and often, individuals are not aware that depression is causing them to feel bad and they may struggle to understand what is happening to cause them to feel sad, to not want to get out of bed, to lose interests in things they once enjoyed, or to withdraw from family and friends and the people they love the most. For some, thoughts of harming themselves or even ending their life seems like the only solutions to the misery and agony they experience. I will help individuals learn to recognize and understand symptoms of depression and how to better manage their mood by learning to identify stressors and triggers and then learning to apply Cognitive and Dialectical Behavioral strategies to help alleviate depression.

Hobbs House Bistro celebrates local goodness this weekend
If you've been watching Henry Herbert in the Fabulous Baker Brothers series, you'll have seen him smoking fish to rapturous acclaim.
On the Bistro menu this week we are celebrating this success with some delicious Severn Smokie and parsnip fishcakes with brown butter hollandaise.
Severn Smokies are a locally smoked haddock which is just as flavourful as the famous Arbroath Smokies, but made here in Gloucestershire.
We also have Rose Veal carpaccio; it's quite a special meat, with the traditional tender and slightly mild flavour veal is known for, but a little stronger as it's been grazing in the fields.
Another local choice on the menu is the Gloucestershire farmed Guinea Fowl breast and confit leg, served with a creamy celeriac and sage puree and a julienned salad of celery, celeriac and sage.

"The team at Irwin Mitchell has a 'pre-eminent reputation' for travel personal injury work"
Legal 500 (2016)
Irwin Mitchell have received reports of illness, believed to be food poisoning, at the Riu Cancun Hotel, Yucatan Peninsula, in Mexico during holidays taken in April 2012.
Guests have reported how they fell ill with symptoms of gastric illness, usually including symptoms of diarrhoea, vomiting and stomach cramps, after consuming food provided by the hotel. One holiday report has recalled how, out of their holidaying party of 11, all of them felt ill at some point during their holiday.
Holidaymakers have also reported how the water supplied to their bathroom smelt funny, the towels were too rough and the beds were uncomfortable.
It is possible that a breakdown in food handling and hygiene procedures resulted in the illnesses experienced by holidaymakers.
If you also stayed at this hotel and suffered gastric illness, the team at Irwin Mitchell would like to hear from you as you may be able to claim compensation for your ruined holiday, and also, the pain and suffering caused by the illness that you have suffered.
For more advice on making a holiday illness claim, contact us on 0800 056 0066 or complete our enquiry form and we will call you back.

"We were very happy with the outcome of our case, especially as we were initially offered nothing from the Tour Operator. Irwin Mitchell were very professional throughout and we are very happy with the outcome."

The notion of the Louis Vuitton bag and luggage is a key theme throughout the entire collection and roots the overall approach to a sense of the Louis Vuitton legacy. This season sees the debut of a number of new, distinctive bag styles for men. But at the heart of this season is the new Nomade leather, softer and revisited in a rich palette of olive green, burgundy and tobacco.
Eponymous of the legendary savoir-faire of Louis Vuitton, this season its simple and classic construction in a variety of styles points to the spirit of the house and punctuates this collection throughout. It also features the most traditional and the most personal of all the logos in the classic "V". It originally came from the steamer bag of Gaston-Louis Vuitton, one of the Maison's very own iconic world travelers.

3 Chicago charter schools will be closing down
CHICAGO (FOX 32 News) - Three charter schools in Chicago are set to close, and a fourth school's fate will be determined next month.
One of the schools that must close is Lighthouse Academy in Bronzeville, where more than 400 students attend grades kindergarten through 8th.
"The teachers are lovely here and it hurts my heart that Bronzeville is closing," said parent Patricia Miller.
Lighthouse Academy is the only school that has a contract with CPS that will not be renewed.
"It's sad because I've been going here since kindergarten and they teach us a lot and make us grow," said student Cierra Washington.
Two other schools, Amandla High school and Betty Shabazz-Barbara A. Sizemore Academy, are getting their contracts revoked due to underperformance. The board apparently gave them time to right their wrong, but voted Wednesday to cut all three loose.
A fourth, Larry Hawkins High School, will have its fate determined next month.
Bronzeville parents that FOX 32 talked to are outraged and say they didn't have the same opportunities to fix things like the other schools did. They also say that they have better test scores than the board is giving them credit for.
This comes at a time where the public school system is down $480 million in their operating budget and newly appointed CPS CEO Forrest Claypool is warning of layoffs.

Contour Range
Made in the UK by British wood craftsmen in a small scale workshop using the finest natural finishes, the Contour furniture series mirrors Bodo's organic design style.
With a notable eye for material and biomorphic in form, this range of furniture is inspired by the 19th century Art Nouveau movement whereby Japanese art was prized as a major influence for its simplicity and clean lines. The bench serves to accompany the opulent curvature of the table, the construction of which has a seamless profile, conveying a harmonious synergy between the two pieces.
Available in a variety of hardwoods, the wood is intuitively selected for each singular piece and takes seven days to hand craft. The marrying of advanced technological methods of making and traditional craftsmanship skills has permitted this collection to radically alter the perception of solid wood furniture, creating an unexpected fluidity to a time-honoured material.

- Area of Interest impact of climate change on plants and animals; conservation biology; timing of leaf out and leaf senescence; rare plants; tropical forests
Current Research
We are investigating the impact of climate change on the flowering and leafing out times of plants, the spring arrival of birds and the flight times of insects in Massachusetts, Japan, and South Korea, and the potential for ecological mismatches among species caused by climate change. The main geographical focus is Concord, Massachusetts, due to the availability of extensive phenological records kept by Henry David Thoreau and later naturalists. We are using Concord as a living laboratory to determine the effects of climate change species, and land use changes on the population dynamics of native and non-native species. We are also comparing our results from Concord with long-term changes at Acadia National Park in Maine. An expanding interest is the variation among species in leafing out times and leaf senescence times, and the physiological control of these processes. An ongoing activity involves producing conservation biology textbooks and working with co-authors to produce textbooks in other languages. In addition, Richard Primack serves as Editor-in-Chief of the international journal Biological Conservation.
