Find and book great restaurantsFind a Restaurant
This buzzing venue in the heart of Soho comes with a fascinating historical back-story, having been inhabited by aristocrats, artists and composers, and graced by celebrities from Fred Astaire to Francis Bacon. The all-day dining experience skips from breakfast to afternoon tea to supper with everything in-between. Expect hearty renditions of good old-fashioned English grub, from crumpets with preserves, to mince and potatoes and pear cobbler with clotted cream.
Dinner continues to wow with its thoughtful takes on historical dishes that reach back as early as the 14th century. Savoury must-tries include the signature 'meat fruit' chicken-liver pâté and the improbably juicy Black Foot pork chop with spelt and Robert sauce. Top treats on the dessert menu range from the much trumpeted tipsy cake to brown-bread ice cream – a staple of Victorian England – with salted-butter caramel, pear and malted-yeast syrup.
Chef Marcus Wareing took a leaf out of Heston's book when he opened this stunning, historically inspired restaurant at St. Pancras in spring 2011. The grandiose setting, in a dining room that retains many of its original features, sweeps diners back in time, while the menu plunders England's cookbooks, taking in 19th-century food writer Mrs Beeton. Plump for something old school, such as the homemade black pudding with mash and apples, or try an updated version of a timeless classic, such as London Pride beer-battered cod with mushy-pea mayonnaise and chips. Don't miss drinks in the beautifully restored bar.
What better way to celebrate St. George's Day than with superb English steaks? Hawksmoor sources its beef from native breed cattle, all raised and slowly reared in the country, most on the Ginger Pig farm in Yorkshire. The beef is then dry-aged for at least 35 days in order to bring out its flavour and create a succulent texture. Hearty sides such as triple-cooked chips and roast mushrooms are ideal accompaniments to the beef, while artfully created cocktails and carefully sourced wines are further pluses. Or opt for an English ale, of course.
Chef Mark Hix specialises in patriotic plates with attention-grabbing flavours. There are none of the usual English suspects on this menu, for Hix's anorak-like interest in history and provenance stamps itself all over his dishes. This spot is made for carnivores, with pork crackling snacks, and mains that include hanger steak with baked bone marrow and tender rib of beef served straight off the bone. Head downstairs to Soho's coolest cocktail bar after your meal, for impeccably researched historical pours.
At this Kensington gem, head chef Timothy Allen, formerly of two-Michelin-starred Cotswolds restaurant Whatley Manor, demonstrates a light touch with a variety of English ingredients, from the humble cauliflower to celebrated asparagus. Lovers of a slap-up Sunday roast should look no further – renditions here include roast Angus beef rump with Yorkshire pudding and red-wine gravy.
Former Ramsay deputy and Kent dweller Mark Sargeant's London outpost in the lavishly refurbished Great Northern Hotel puts a gently modern spin on traditional English dishes. From steamed mussels to steak via fresh-as-it-comes veg, he really excels at letting the ingredients do the talking – and you can rest assured it's all sourced from as locally as possible. The namesake dessert of plum & spilt milk is an example of the restaurant's playful side: homely stewed plums and custard served with restaurant vigour.
Pitched just above foodie mecca Borough Market, Roast boasts top-quality ingredients at its fingertips. The menu pays serious attention to provenance, with suppliers and regions name-checked throughout. Opt for comforting dishes such as brown egg with haggis and piccalilli, followed by meaty ham hock and snail pie; there is even an admirable vegetarian selection. Check out the great selection of English wines, too.
The capital's oldest restaurant (serving since 1798) has fed some of England's most revered icons, from Charles Dickens to Charlie Chaplin – all featured in the hall of fame that makes up the decor of this most established of eateries. The menu majors on game when in season, and is packed full of traditional and heritage dishes, from roast squab pigeon with potato rösti and cabbage, to steak-and-kidney puddings and pies.
When it comes to nose-to-tail eating, nothing beats Fergus Henderson's original St. John, which goes gastronomic with the grisly bits. Signature plates such as Henderson's bone marrow and parsley salad sit cheek by jowl with other offal-based creations such as lamb tongues with white beans and radishes – not for the faint-hearted, but "incredible" if you've got the guts. Meanwhile, the dessert menu goes big on nostalgia, with delights such as warm butterscotch bread pudding.

It's not unusual for recipes featuring fresh local vegetables to be showcased at farmers markets.
But if you're a food lover who also savors poetry, a road trip to the Fond du Lac Farmers Market may be in order.
The Foot of the Lake Poetry Collective will treat shoppers at the Fond du Lac farmers market to a selection of 15 poems inspired by market staples, starting Saturday, according to a story in the Fond du Lac Reporter.
The poems will be on display with a collection of bookmarks that match each poem with a recipe.
For example, "Showdown," a humorous poem about zucchini by Wisconsin Poet Laureate Marilyn Taylor, is paired with a recipe for Ratatouille Provencale from Irma Rombauer's "Joy of Cooking."
Farmers markets tend to be organic -- not just in the practices farmers use to produce vegetables sold there, but also in the way the markets themselves sprout in cities.
A new Sunday morning market is growing in Jefferson, according to a story in the Daily Union.
Located on the east side of Frank's County Market, the farmers market runs from 8 a.m. to noon on Sundays through Oct. 31.
A Jefferson woman started the market in May. It has expanded almost solely through word of mouth, with several vendors appearing each week to sell their locally produced honey, eggs, cheese, butter, flowers, berries, vegetables, plants, granola, soaps, jewelry and more.
For the last several years, Jefferson has had a small farmer's market from 4 to 8 p.m. Wednesdays before the Jefferson Chamber of Commerce's summer Concerts in the Park at Rotary Waterfront Park, according to the Daily Union story.
Whitefish Bay literally kicks off its new farmers market this weekend with Irish dancing by Trinity Irish Dance Co.
The Whitefish Bay Farmers Market debuts Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon on Berkeley Boulevard at Silver Spring Drive, in the heart of the downtown shopping district. The open air market will run every Saturday in August and September, and feature traditional farmers market fare including fresh organic produce, meats, eggs, honey and flowers.
Additionally, each Saturday will have a focus to distinguish the market and to appeal to varied interests, according to Aimee Matchette of Elements Therapeutic Massage, and a board member of the Whitefish Bay Improvement District.
Future weekends will include cooking demonstrations, live music, and programming or participation from the Shorewood/ Whitefish Bay Health Department, the North Shore Environmental Health Consortium, Healthy Communities Project, the Whitefish Bay Library, the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District, the Whitefish Bay Civic Foundation, UW-Extension and the North Shore Fire Department.
Weekly themes are as follows:
If you thought there were more farmers markets than ever this year, you were right.
The number of farmers markets is booming in the United States, and Wisconsin is No. 8 among states with the most markets, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Nationwide, farmers markets increased 16%, with the biggest increase among Midwestern states, the USDA found.
The top 10 states with the most farmers markets are: California, with 580; New York (461); Illinois (286); Michigan (271); Iowa (229); Massachusetts (227); Ohio (213); Wisconsin (204); Pennsylvania (203); and North Carolina (182).
Most of those states are among the 15 most populous in the country. Wisconsin ranks 20th in population in the U.S., and Iowa 30th.
The annual auction of blue-ribbon cheese and butter at the Wisconsin State Fair doesn't raise as much money as it did in the years when former Gov. Tommy G. Thompson worked the crowds with his cowboy hat in hand, driving up bids, usually from food-related companies.
There is no governor involvement anymore in the annual auction of Wisconsin's best-known commodity, which cheese makers bring to the fair to compete for blue ribbons and bragging rights. The 2001 auction, when Thompson was still governor, raised a record $37,080, with the highest per-pound bid of $310 for a Serafina Garlic Herb Spread. It's unclear whether that record holds, as complete records were unavailable from the board that coordinates the contest.
This year's Blue Ribbon Cheese & Butter Auction held on opening day of the fair still raised more money than each of the past three years: $28,885 from 15 bidders, which will go toward student scholarships and dairy-related promotions at the state fair, according to Katy Katzman, executive director of the Wisconsin State Fair Dairy Promotion Board. The top price paid per pound was $230 by Ivarson in Milwaukee for a Caso Bolo Mellage made by cheesemaker Sid Cook of Carr Valley Cheese in La Valle. The Caso Bolo Mellage is a mixed-milk cheese (sheep, goat and cow milk) made in a 3- to 4-pound ball, and aged two years.
Mike Matucheski, a cheesemaker at Sartori Foods in Plymouth, was named 2010 Grand Master Cheese Maker during this year's auction. He competed against 20 other blue-ribbon winners for the coveted title, earning the honor for his Rosemary-Olive Oil Rubbed Asiago, which topped the "flavored hard cheese" class. This is the second year in a row Matucheski has been named Grand Master Cheese Maker.
Matucheski's 20-pound Asiago brought $2,550 from Elegant Farmer in Mukwonago. The top total price paid for a cheese this year was $3,800 by Novak's Cheese in De Pere for a 20-pound natural rind Parmesan made by Matucheski of Sartori Foods.
If you're a fan of locally produced foods, here's your chance to celebrate the bounty and help raise money for a local foods guide for the Milwaukee metropolitan area and surrounding counties.
A "Real Farms, Real Food" fund-raising dinner Sept. 11 at Oconomowoc Lake Club will showcase local foods prepared by Chef Jack Kaestner. A silent auction and hors d'oeuvres begin at 6 p.m., followed by dinner at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $65 for those over age 13, and $40 for youths ages 6 to 12. Children under age 5 may sit on a lap and eat for free.
The dinner is a benefit for The Farm Fresh Atlas of Southeastern Wisconsin, a local food guide of farms, farmers markets and local food businesses that is distributed free at farmers markets and other locations in an effort to link area residents with local food sources.
The atlas is organized and supported by the Oconomowoc Lake Club, Slow Food Wisconsin Southeast, SHARE, Town and Country RC and D, the University of Wisconsin-Extension, University of Wisconsin-Parkside, local farms and businesses, and countless volunteers.
Tickets are available at www.farmfreshatlas.org/southeast/fundraiser.htm.

Chickens soon could be roosting in a backyard near you. Fresh eggs are the latest rage hatched by urban local food enthusiasts who say nothing beats an egg with a deep golden yolk, still warm from the henhouse. City dwellers in Madison can keep backyard egg layers, but local residents do it on the sly.
Should city or suburban residents be allowed to keep chickens for eggs in their backyard?

'You have talked so often of going to the dogs - and well, here are the dogs, and you have reached them'. George Orwell's vivid memoir of his time among the desperately poor and destitute in London and Paris is a moving tour of the underworld of society. Here he painstakingly documents a world of unrelenting drudgery and squalor - sleeping in bug-infested hostels and doss houses, working as a dishwasher in the vile 'Hotel X', living alongside tramps, surviving on scraps and cigarette butts - in an unforgettable account of what being down and out is really like.

Caribou Hunting Emergency Order
Alaska Emergency Order 03-03-14 closes the southern portion of Unit 25B to state subsistence and state general hunts for caribou. This emergency order does not apply to federally qualified subsistence users within Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve. More »

The allure of the North attracts visitors who want to connect to the historic and natural resources of the area. The area's history of rugged individualism is manifest in the cabins, relic buildings, and the lifestyles of the local people.
Yukon River Travelers
Visitors are drawn by the size and scope of the Yukon River; these include summer floaters and winter mushers. They enjoy the bush lifestyle and history of human use embedded in the landscape.
The preserve provides habitat that supports fish, wildlife, and plants important to subsistence activities.
Sport Hunting, Trapping, and Fishing
The preserve affords opportunities for sport hunting, trapping, and fishing in a remote, uncrowded setting dominated by natural processes.

Wisteria. Sounds like hysteria. The faintest brush of purple. Woody. Twining. Ethereal. Angels could rest here.
Listen to this, "The flowers are produced in pendulous racemes…" Sounds like a poem. Maybe like a prayer. Hard to believe it has poisonous seeds.
I have a little wisteria tree. It's the third one I've tried to grow. The first one was killed by unexpected heavy snows and freezing temperatures two years ago. I admit I just let it die. I did nothing to protect it.
Someone I loved was dying and there was no room in my heart left for the fragile tree. It stood in my backyard like a sad little Charlie Brown Christmas tree, the exterior manifestation of what was happening to me inside. The cold closing around the heart. I could not save the one I loved. I would not save a tree.
My second wisteria perished for exactly the opposite reason: too much heat. It was the summer of water shortages and the middle-class lawns turned brown. I was creatively dry and my garden remained abandoned. "My plants have to be independent to survive me," I joked to friends. I wondered if this was true of the people in my life. If they clung too tightly, did I pull away? Was that how I survived?
It's true I can't stand to be bound. It's true I am a person who will change just to untwist from a persona someone has wrapped me in. People say, "Yes, but you have been married for 23 years." Ah, but he has never told me who I am or who I should be.
And now, this little tree with its new buds. I want this tree to live. I want to see its divine flowers with hues so pure you can reimagine the universe in a petal. I think of Sierra Madre where there's a wisteria (they say wistaria) more than an acre in size with one and a half million blossoms, the largest blossoming plant in the world with heavy branches bowing in humble supplication to those who allow it to reach this potential.
No one told it to stop growing. So it kept on. No one bound it or built a development in its place. And so it continued to realize what it could become.
My wisteria is yet a baby, survivor of just one winter. If I care for it, one day its tendrils will spiral clock-wise and counter-clockwise. And the tendrils will catch and connect, just as we connect, forming a pattern of unity.
It has spirit, this tree, and a will to survive. I sit on the back steps and watch it, my mind drifting back to when I was a small girl; my grandfather wanting to help tie my shoes and me saying, "I will do it my own self." My mantra. My weakness. My strength.
I feel tenderness toward this tree, maybe because of its willfulness. It refuses to lean against the trellis, preferring as yet to stand on its own, skinny but healthy. It does not cling to the wooden stakes. Instead, its first tendrils wave in the wind like locks of hair that refuse to be tamed.
It knows who it is, this wisteria, gratefully accepting the rain, meditating in the sun, and growing in whatever direction it chooses.

Dartmouth bridge work planned
Work on deck will cause partial closure of street
Work to repair sections of the concrete deck of the West Dartmouth Avenue Bridge over the South Platte River will result in partial closure in the eastbound lanes but one westbound lane will remain open throughout the project.
The work on the bridge deck is scheduled to begin about noon May 16 and the project is expected to be completed on the morning of May 19 when one lane in each direction will be opened. Full traffic flow is scheduled to be restored by May 20.
Plans are to detour traffic to either Hampden or Evans during the lane closures.
The Dartmouth Bridge over the South Platte River was started in 1964 but the work was swept away by the 1965 flood. Work began again on the bridge and the span of one land in each direction was completed in late 1965.
The route is a major east-west thoroughfare and the bridge was widened to two lanes in each direction in the 1970s.
While the steel structure of the bridge is sound, the impact of the weather and the heavy traffic flow has taken a toll on the bridge and the concrete deck is deteriorating.
Rick Kahm, public works director, has sought funds to rebuild the bridge deck. The estimated cost of rebuilding the bridge deck is $1.2 million. Kahm, on behalf of the city, applied to Colorado Municipal League for funds.
At the same time, in case the city didn't get the grant, Englewood had a design engineer develop a pilot project to repair a section of the bridge deck.
The city didn't get the grant but Englewood did budget $100,000 for the pilot bridge section replacement project scheduled to get underway on May 16.
"The first step is for the contractor to strip away the asphalt in order to inspect the concrete bridge deck," said Larry Nimmo, public works field operations administrator. "An engineer will inspect the concrete and determine the best way to rebuild the deck. When the deck is completed, we'll put down a new asphalt road surface."

Dell in talks with PE firms on a potential buyout: sources
NEW YORK/SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Dell Inc DELL.O is in talks with private equity firms on a potential buyout, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters, confirming reports that sent shares in the world's No. 3 PC maker soaring 13 percent to nearly a eight-month high.
The firms are now holding discussions on a deal with billionaire Chief Executive and founder Michael Dell, who owns about 14 percent of the company, according to one source with knowledge of the matter.
The Wall Street Journal cited unidentified sources as saying TPG and Silver Lake could team up on an offer, possibly in conjunction with other investors such as pension funds. JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N) was also involved in the negotiations, it added.
The first source told Reuters any potential deal could be structured as a management-led buyout with Michael Dell at the helm.
Talks had progressed for two to three months, heating up in late 2012, and a deal could be reached in six weeks, the Journal cited sources as saying.
Dell, which has steadily ceded market share to Hewlett Packard (HPQ.N) and China's Lenovo (0992.HK), declined to comment on what it called rumors and speculation.
The company has lost 40 percent of its value since last year's peak, and is trying to reinvent itself as a seller of higher-margin services to corporations - an internal overhaul that might be conducted away from public scrutiny.
Some analysts say taking the company private, an idea that has surfaced sporadically in past years, makes sense.
But others pointed to the sheer expense of such a deal, an outsized debt burden of some $4.5 billion and murky prospects as a major player in a PC market that's dwindling with the advent of tablets such as Apple Inc's (AAPL.O) iPad.
"The market value of Dell has come down so much that a buyout has become something that is plausible. They have about $5 billion in net cash and also free cash flow generation that could sustain payments on debt from a leveraged buyout," said S&P Capital IQ analyst Angelo Zino.
"However, we think it's unlikely, given the sheer size of Dell and where the stock is currently trading at."
A buyout of the $19 billion company would be one of the largest deals since the global recession.
Bloomberg first reported that Dell and private equity firms were discussing a deal.
Before news of the deal emerged, Sanford Bernstein analyst Toni Sacconaghi speculated that Dell was worth $12 a share on a sum-of-parts basis, of which the PC business was worth about $4.70. In a report last week, the analyst said Dell could conceivably be split along its PC and enterprises segments, though such an approach would significantly reduce much-needed scale.
Shipments of computers by the company, now reinventing itself as a provider of computers and services to corporations and government agencies, plummeted 21 percent in the fourth quarter, according to IDC. In the third quarter, its profit slid 47 percent.
Overall sales of PCs over the holidays slid for the first time in more than five years, according to industry researcher IDC.
On Monday, another industry research firm, Gartner, estimated that Dell lost 2 percentage points of market share in the fourth quarter, slipping to 10.2 percent from 12.2 percent a year earlier.
Dell's fortunes have waxed and waned. Since Michael Dell founded the company in 1984 out of his college dorm room with $1,000, the company has grown into a global PC powerhouse that pioneered just-in-time inventory management and online sales of custom-built computers.
But when Dell handed the reins of his company to long-time lieutenant Kevin Rollins in 2004, sales and customer service began to slip. With the board's blessing, Michael Dell returned in January 2007 to turn his company around, only to run into the global recession and a shift by consumers toward powerful, mobile devices like tablets.
At a Sanford Bernstein investors' conference in 2010, Dell said he had considered taking the company private. He told investors at the time that a transformation of his company that he had hoped to effect upon his return was "incomplete."
Those comments triggered a round of speculation, but most analysts said buying out such a large company would be difficult because of the massive financing requirements.
Michael Dell now owns 244 million shares in the company, according to Thomson Reuters data, and last year was ranked the 22nd richest American with a fortune of $14.6 billion.
Dell's stock soared to an intra-day high of $12.83 in afternoon trade - the highest since May 2012 - after a brief trading suspension. It closed at $12.29.
Its traded bonds also came under pressure over fears of a significant hike in leverage. Its 4.625 percent, 2021 bonds were trading 80 basis points wider at 210 basis points over U.S. Treasuries, while its 2.3 percent, 2015s were about 30 basis points wider at 88 basis points over Treasuries.
"It can be difficult to realize the full value of various corporate assets ... during transition periods, and executing on a long-term transformation as a private company could have advantages," argued ISI analyst Brian Marshall.

The Alliance to Save Energy praised President Obama's commitment to "double investment in energy efficiency" in fiscal year 2012, calling it "an action that will provide an immense return to U.S. consumers and businesses alike in terms of energy and money savings as well as enhanced energy security and resource conservation."
"President Obama has carved out a key role for energy efficiency programs in achieving our nation's overall economic goals," said Alliance President Kateri Callahan. "We commend the president's plans to unleash the power of American ingenuity and innovation in the energy arena to move us towards economic recovery and continued global competitiveness.
"We look forward to working with Congress, on a bipartisan basis, to ensure that the president's proposed Clean Energy Standard (CES) includes a prominent role for energy efficiency as a full and equal compliance option, as well as the important, complementary efficiency policies already identified," Callahan said.
The White House said that the CES would be "coupled with smart policies that will help American families and businesses save money by saving energy" and "paired with energy efficiency programs that will lower consumers' energy bills," including stronger appliance efficiency standards, tax credits for energy efficiency upgrades and Home Star.
The Alliance also praised the president's plan to more than double total investment to date for the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E), which will support "transformational and cutting edge energy research with real-world applications ranging from grid technology and power electronics to batteries and energy storage."

Ultimate Emmy slugfest: Did homophobia bash 'Normal Heart' and Matt Bomer?
15 hours ago
War is raging across Gold Derby over whether homophobia robbed "The Normal Heart," Matt Bomer, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and others of deserved Emmy wins. I say that the answer is obviously "yes!" and I fume about it in my article "Why the Emmys bitch-slapped 'The Normal Heart.'" That piece builds upon the arguments laid out by Wayman Wong in his own article -- "Did homophobia crush 'The Normal Heart' at the Emmys?" -Break- However, legions of our users disagree in the forums where the clash gets nasty. But nobody has gotten more furious than I did when I watched three Gold Derby editors (Rob Licuria, Matt Noble and Ralph Galvan) voice their opinions on this controversy in their post-Emmys "smashfest" video. I was so outraged by their cavalier comments that I transcribed everything they said and vowed to hang them publicly with their own words in a new video slugfest if the. »

"This card is a perfect fit for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary invitation. My mom is a photo fanatic, and this clever layout allows for the true feeling of past and present to set the tone for the party. I love paper and printing, so I opted for the Premium Double Thick Matte paper stock, which is wonderful! It creates a very upscale presentation. I am impressed with the print quality. The colors are spot on, not saturated like I've experienced with other vendors. The interface is extremely easy to use. I highly recommend this product."
"I chose the 'Anniversary Vine' for its beautiful, twirling tendrils of a stylish vine entwining the significant age of my son. This design adapted well to being used for a Bar Mitzvah invitation. (While the Bar Mitzvah invitation options are all lovely, Anniversary Vine fits more perfectly to our needs.) Being able to personalize the text, colors & the number made this design the best choice. The service once the order was placed far exceeded my expectations. And the prompt delivery amazing! (Posted May 22; Arrived Melb.Australia May27.) I have no hesitation in using Tiny Prints for all my stationery needs and telling all my friends."
"The invitations are really beautiful, have received many comments from relatives that received the invitation. After the initial error that was made (put the empty box on the front) which was really a terrible mistake, why would someone send out something like that. After I called, the new invites came in two days. I appreciate that. Thank you."
"Many of my guests commented on the beautiful card. They so enjoyed seeing the then and now pictures. I used the same photo editing on both the then and now picture. I chose to change the wording a little on the back to include God as an element of success in our marriage and include scripture. The quality of the postcards along with the excellent timely service props me to definitely use tiny prints again soon."
"I am very pleased with this card. I purchased it for my parents surprise anniversary party. It looks expensive and of high quality. I intially thought it was too dark and looked Christmasy, but I was wrong. It was perfect! Plus the shipping came a week earlier than i expected. Customer service was also amazing!"

Looking up towards the ceiling brings fresh memories to Korie Poling's mind. Standing in her now remodeled kitchen in Luckey, the mother of three remembers the day it all melted.
"I never thought it would happen to us and now that it has, it's opened my eyes so much," says Poling.
Morgan, the oldest, was frying onion rings for an after school snack. After thinking that she turned off the heat, the 14-year-old went upstairs to take a nap. Moments later she woke up to the screech of a wailing smoke detector, and a stove full of flames.
"I just came down here and saw all the smoke," Morgan tells 13abc. "My first instinct was to get water and put it out."
Throwing water on a fire is a common reaction, but can bring dangerous consequences if you're dealing with grease or oil. To get that type of fire out, firefighters recommend taking a cookie sheet or a pan lid and immediately covering the flames. Next you should turn off the heat, and then get out and call the fire department.
"What starts out as a small fire is going to become very large very quickly, it's going to become very violent," says Jamie Ferguson with the Toledo Fire & Rescue Department.
Each year home cooking fires cause more than $300 million worth of damage and claim more than a hundred lives.* Locally, the American Red Cross of Northwest Ohio helps local families that go through tragedies like fires. The organization often provides food, clothing, temporary shelter and needed medication to families that suddenly find themselves with no place to stay after a fire.
"It just happens so quickly for a lot of the people that we help," says Amanda Aldrich with the Red Cross. "We give them the tools they need and the access to funds immediately. They don't have to worry, where am I going to sleep tonight."
Local fire officials recommend two very important items for all families: smoke detectors and fire extinguishers. Toledo City code requires detectors for every sleeping area. 'ABC' extinguishers are highly suggested because they'll put out ordinary combustibles, flammable liquids and electrical fires. As for smoke detector batteries, they should be replaced twice a year, and the whole device every two years to keep the home safe.
"We're finding that less than five percent of families are up to code," says Ferguson.
"I am a new firm believer that smoke detectors are a very important thing," says Poling, who credits smoke detectors for saving her daughter's life. "I have a whole new outlook."
Another device recommended by fire officials is a small, one-time use extinguisher that sits directly above a stove burner in the stove or microwave hood. 'StoveTop FireStop' will automatically spit out a chemical that puts out flames, even in a grease fire.
While cooking fires start the majority of home fires, using kitchen appliances like the stove, oven and grill are also extremely dangerous. Chris Kozak with Columbia Gas suggests anyone having trouble heating their home get in contact with their gas company and agencies like the United Way for assistance.
"It's not safe, and it's not wise," says Kozak. "There's no reason for anybody to be in that situation where they have to rely on their kitchen appliance to keep that home warm."
The Polings had to rebuild more than $50,000 worth of damage, but are now in their new kitchen with a new sense of knowledge about home fires. Korie says they are proud to teach others about fire safety, to keep other families from living their nightmare.
"It was a long haul for us, but we made it through."
*According to the National Fire Data Center, U.S. Department of Homeland Security

Current TV slammed political commentator Keith Olbermann on Thursday, after the infamously volatile pundit filed a lawsuit against the network.
"Current terminated Keith Olbermann last Thursday for serial, material breaches of his contract, including the failure to show up at work, sabotaging the network and attacking Current and its executives," the network said.
Olbermann left MSNBC just over a year ago to become the face of Current TV, a network owned by former Vice President Al Gore and businessman Joel Hyatt. Olbermann had signed a five-year, $50 million contract with the network.
He filed a lawsuit in the Los Angeles County Superior Court against Current, alleging he was wrongfully terminated in late March. The lawsuit claims Current still owes him between $50 million and $70 million in compensation.
Current, however, suggested that Olbermann was merely putting on a show.
"As the old adage says: 'When the law is on your side, you argue the law. When the facts are on your side, you argue the facts. When neither the law nor the facts are on your side, you pound the table.' We will be happy to engage on the law and the facts in the appropriate forum," the company said in response to the lawsuit.
"It is well established that over his professional career Mr. Olbermann has specialized in pounding the table. However, Mr. Olbermann, by filing his false and malicious lawsuit, has now put this matter into a legal process where there will be an objective review of the facts."

Fletcher became a nutritionist in 1982 out of a desire to see people get well, and in 2000 established the Health Profit Group as a wellness centre to provide supportive services to individuals and organisations. But prior to even starting her consultancy business, the nutritionist was diagnosed with Graves' Disease in 1998, and she had to depend on her own advice and her faith for complete recovery.
Graves' Disease is an immune system disorder that results in the overproduction of thyroid hormones caused from an overactive thyroid. "So I had a goitre on my neck and the doctor told me I would never be off medication and that I would need surgery and radiotherapy and then be on medication for the rest of my life," she said.
"I couldn't accept it, I really couldn't accept it, and I felt that God made me with a purpose and with a focus, and that was that. I enjoy seeing people get better, get well, and that is what I wanted to see, and I said, 'Well, it has to start with me'."
Fletcher got better and doctors took her off medication. But her brief episode with the disease resulted in a complete lifestyle change for her.
"I began eating a bit more raw and green foods, and part of my research led me to an exercise called rebounding, which is exercising on something that looks like a mini-trampoline, and I realised that it is a cellular exercise that could work on my cells," she explained.
Given the effectiveness of the rebounder, Fletcher became a certified reboundologist and started promoting this exercise at health fairs and conferences.
It was during one of these events that she was approached by a nurse from bauxite and alumina company JAMALCO, who expressed an interest in having her come to be a keynote speaker at the launch of their health and wellness programme in 2002. Following her presentation, she was offered a job as the company's corporate wellness coach. The initial contract for this post was six months, but Fletcher was able to exceed the company's expectations and ended up working with them for much longer.
"I was with them for four years, because we saw a significant reduction in cholesterol, weight, claims utilisation and blood pressure in some situations," she said.
Since that time, Fletcher has become a full-fledged wellness consultant and currently does consultancy for companies such as Red Stripe and Carib Cement. She was also employed by the Ministry of Health between 2005 and 2008 as a corporate wellness consultant. As a result of her work in wellness development, she was the recipient of an Environmental Health Foundation Award in 2008.
Fletcher says nutritionists face a number of challenges in carrying out their jobs today, and one of the biggest ones is that clients are not able to get insurance coverage for wellness services.
"It is one of the health professions that is in dire distress and in need in the country, because of what is happening. We have over two-thirds of our population now overweight or obese and over 50 per cent of the population not physically active, so you know it is just worsening," she said.
Fletcher did her first degree in biochemistry and her master's in nutrition, and for several years worked at the University of the West Indies, Mona campus in mental development and nutrition research. The mother of four then took some time so she could raise her children with her husband and assist in her family's furniture and construction business. It wasn't until after her bout with Graves' Disease that she went back fully into nutrition consultancy and started her company.
"It is engaging persons to recognise that there is a profit in being healthy," she said, in explaining the reason for the name of her company.
In addition to providing wellness advice, Fletcher also sources and sells fitness gadgets as part of her efforts to assist people to get on the road to better health.
"My vision was to make a significant impact on the health of this nation, the Caribbean and the world, and it still is," she said.
