Kirkmichael, Perth and Kinross
Kirkmichael is a village located in Strathardle, Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It is 13 miles NNW of Blairgowrie and 12 miles ENE of Pitlochry.
The name Kirkmichael means "The Church of St Michael"; the Gaelic name is Cill Mhìcheil. The village dates back to the first millennium.
The Village[edit]
The village is split into two by the River Ardle. On the north side is the A924 Main Street with the church, Session House community centre, Kirkmichael Hotel, shop, post office, garage and traditional properties datingfrom the late 19th century. On the south side are the Primary School, Bannerfield, the fire station, Williamston, the village hall, the disused Free Kirk, Sillerburn Road, Whitefield View, the cemetery, Balnald, Balnakilly and the Pinetrees Hotel on the road to Glen Derby. Approximately one third of the houses in the village are holiday or second homes. Permanent population is approx 150.
The original village known as Williamston sits above the school on the original highway from Blairgowrie to Blair Atholl which entered the village past the Hall and Old Kirk and exited by the road to Balnakilly. This now forms part of the Cateran Trail long distance walk.
The School[edit]
Kirkmichael primary school sits on the south side of the bridge. The school's catchment area incorporates Strathardle, Kirkmichael, Glenshee, Blacklunans and Bridge of Cally. Pupils continue their secondary school education at Blairgowrie High School. Over its lifetime, the school has been extended from single storey to a two storey building and in 2007 a new nursery building was added. The grounds contain an all weather sports court which is available for public use outwith school hours.
The Kirks & Session House[edit]
The Church of Scotland Kirk dates back to the 18th century and is built on a site used for worship for over one thousand years. It is surrounded by the original graveyard which contains graves dating back many centuries. The east end of the graveyard which does not have headstones or individual graves is the site of a mass burial plot for the victims of the Black Death plague of 1348 which has never been reopened. The cemetery on Balnald Road was opened in the 1950s. Kirkmichael parish was first linked with Straloch, then with Glenshee/Bridge of Cally and finally with Rattray with the minister now using Rattray manse. The original manse opposite the church was sold in the 1970s and was replaced first by a bungalow in Glenshee then in the 1980s by another bungalow on the Balnald road which is now rented out.
The disused Free Kirk, known as the Duff Memorial Church, was built in the late 19th century by the break away Free Church of Scotland. In 1928 the Free Kirk amalgamated back into the Church of Scotland with the two churches being used on alternate Sundays until the Duff Memorial finally closed in the 1950s. It was then used as an agricultural building and in the late 1990s the then Village Hall committee drew up plans to acquire the building, restore it to its former glory and provide the village with a 21st-century Community Hall. Unfortunately they were ultimately unable to acquire the old kirk which is now derelict and fast becoming an eyesore. The Free Kirk manse became a SYHA youth hostel and for 30 years was very popular with cyclists and hikers especially from Dundee. It is now a private house.
The Session House Open Learning Centre offers a range of educational courses in conjunction with the University of the Highlands and Islands as well as being a meeting point for various community groups. Its existence and success owe much to the foresight and tenacity of the parish minister in the late 1900s, the Rev Dr Hugh Ormiston. It was originally the parish school and was in poor condition before its restoration into the well equipped building of today.
The Village Shop[edit]
The village shop is run by a community interest company with local unpaid directors and incorporates the post office, a coffee shop and a diesel pump. The adjacent workshop is home to Milford Vintage Engineering who specialise in the service, maintenance, repair and restoration of vintage and veteran vehicles. The building was erected in 1958 on the site of the disused blacksmith's smithy and garden ground as a sales and repair garage and the shop occupies the former showroom area. At one time Kirkmichael had four shops, one in the house at the school end of Williamston which closed in the early 20th century and three in Main Street. One was in the white building now known as MacDonald Cottage. It closed in 1983. The two others were side by side in the three storey building opposite the present shop. The Post Office/newsagents closed in 1990 and was taken over by the General Store which closed in 2000. The present shop then opened within the old garage.
The Hall[edit]
The Village Hall was opened in 1934 after a period of intense fundraising and is managed by a committee of volunteers. It is used by the local pre-school group and other youth groups, the primary school for Physical Education classes and is home to local functions. It was extended in the 1950s and over the years there have been several plans to provide a new state-of-the-art facility, this project is ongoing.
The Masonic Lodge Lodge St John was restarted in the late 1950s after many years in abeyence and was originally located in the east end of the property known as Meadowside. When Meadowside changed hands about ten years later the Lodge relocated to the annexe of the village hall.
The Fire Station[edit]
The Fire Station - the 3rd version built in the 1990s - is manned by a part-time volunteer crew with a modern appliance. The original 1960s station was a wooden hut adjacent to Riverview containing equipment and a trailer pump with Kirkmichael Garage providing a towing vehicle as required. The second station was on the present site in Bannerfield and was a basic tin Nissen Hut shed housing a Karrier Gamecock appliance but with no crew facilities. The current station is fitted and equipped to a high standard with office and training facilities.
Bannerfield - where the Earl of Mar raised the standard for the Jacobite rising of 1715 - provides car parking, recycling facilities and a riverside picnic area.
Historical Monuments & Memorials[edit]
The War Memorial[edit]
The War Memorial sits above the road between the village and the Strathardle Inn and along with Ballinloan on the B950 and the Glen Derby road provides the best view of Kirkmichael.
The Small Monument[edit]
At the junction of the A924/B950 sits the James Small (1835-1900) of Dirnanean monument, a highly ornate Celtic cross erected in honour of a former Deputy Lieutenant of Perthshire.
Whitefield Castle[edit]
Off the footpath from the village to Glenshee lies Whitefield Castle, a ruined hunting lodge built by Malcolm Canmore in the 12th century.
The Minister's Well[edit]
The old roadside well opposite the church is fed by an underground spring which never runs dry. The ice cold water has an excellent clean sharp taste and is completely drinkable.
The Games[edit]
Strathardle Highland Gathering & Agricultural Show is held annually in Kirkmichael on the fourth Saturday of August. The Gathering is currently held in Bannerfield with the Agricultural Show in an adjacent field. Known locally as "the Games", the highlights of the day include:
- Agricultural Show with various livestock classes.
- Home Industries Tent
- Vintage Vehicles
- Trade Stands
- Pipe Band
- Highland Dancing & Piping Competitions
- Track & Heavy Events
- Open Tug'o'War
- The Robertson Cup Tug'o'War local competition between Strathardle and Blackwater
- A Unique Musical Cars event - similar to musical chairs but involving cars driving round the ring.
- Funfair
The Gathering started in the late 19th century and was held in various locations including Croft of Dounie, Aldchlappie and Dalnagairn before settling in its current Bannerfield location in the late 1940s.
The founders of the original games were Alexander Petrie of Strathgarry, Killiecrankie (originally of Ballinloan, Kirkmichael), "Mr Michie" of Cluneskea, Enochdhu, "Mr James Stewart" and "Mr James Dow". It is recorded that Petrie et al approached James Small of Dirnanean with a proposal to hold an annual gathering, a proposal to which Small gave his "warm approval". Petrie himself subsequently competed in the games of his own founding, principally via "titling the ring" on horseback.[1]
The Agricultural Show started in the late 1950s and now attracts a large entry of quality livestock. For over a century three generations of the Evans family from Glasgow attended the Gathering with their travelling funfair and "Evans shows" as they were known were an integral part of the Games and of village life. In the 1950s and 1960s the fair stayed for two weeks and attracted large crowds with bingo, slot machines and shooting the main attractions. The fair made its last visit in 2009.
The Glen[edit]
Kirkmichael is the largest village in Strathardle. Known locally as "the glen", the Strath runs for 13 miles from Glen Brerachean on the Moulin Moors to the confluence of the River Ardle and the Blackwater just east of Bridge of Cally. Other settlements along the A924 are Straloch, Enochdhu, Ballintuim and Bridge of Cally. The Ardle starts opposite the road to Glenfernate where the Brerachean and the Fernate meet and is bridged at Enochdhu, Kirkmichael, Pitcarmick, Dalnabreck,Ballintuim, Blackcraig, Cally Lodge and Bridge of Cally. The bridge to Blackcraig is of archtectural significance as it has a house built over it. The house on the bridge is one of the glen's best kept secrets. Strathardle is named after a Pictish warrior called Ardle who was killed at Enochdhu in a battle with the Danes in the 12th century. His burial mound in the grounds of Dirnanean Lodge is over twelve feet long but whether he was a giant as reputed or had another warrior buried at he feet is unknown!
Public transport connects Kirkmichael with Blairgowrie, Tarvie and Spittal of Glenshee. (See Stagecoach Buses for the seasonal timetable.) The nearest railway station is Pitlochry (12 miles) from where there is direct express service to London including the Caledonian overnight sleeper.
There are three hotels, Kirkmichael Hotel, Strathardle Inn and the Pinetrees Hotel. The Kirkmichael Hotel was originally a large coaching inn but is now partly converted to flats with the remaining part operating as a small hotel/restaurant/bar. The Strathardle Inn was originally called the Aldchlappie Hotel after the Allt Chlappie burn which runs nearby with the name being changed in the late 1990s. Many locals still call it Aldchlappie or "the Clappie". The Pinetrees Hotel was built from Norwegian logs in the 1960s and was originally known as The Edelweiss, then the Log Cabin Hotel and now The Pinetrees.
Kirkmichael offers a choice of self-catering properties ranging from cottages to apartments and log cabins. Kirkmichael Village Cottages offer traditional cottages and Kirkmichael Apartments offer bright, modern accommodation which can take up to 18 people

Scattered showers move through Iowa but more rain needed
CHICAGO (Reuters) – Scattered showers moved through the center of the U.S. Midwest crop belt by midday Friday, giving some relief to drought-stressed corn and soybeans, but more was needed to help the struggling crops, agricultural meteorologists said.
"You are seeing a little more rainfall going on now in parts of central and southwestern Iowa," said Joel Widenor of Commodity Weather Group, noting the amounts were more than had been expected earlier.
Cargill buys AFA Foods Fort Worth beef processing plant
CHICAGO (Reuters) – U.S. agribusiness giant Cargill Inc said on Thursday it bought a former AFA Foods Inc ground beef processing plant in Fort Worth, Texas, for $14.1 million, in a move that will add to its already strong position in the U.S. and Canadian consumer market.
Based in King of Prussia, Pa., AFA filed for chapter 11 protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court at Wilmington, Del., on April 2. Of those assets, Cargill bid only for AFA's Fort Worth plant. The transaction received court approval on Thursday and the sale is expected to close next week, Minneapolis-based Cargill said in a statement.
U.S. grain trade wants answers in PFGBest broker scandal
CHICAGO (Reuters) – The largest U.S. grain trade group was stunned by the latest scandal to hit the futures industry when Iowa-based brokerage PFGBest collapsed after regulators accused the firm of misappropriating customer funds.
"Even though we don't know at this point the scope of Peregrine's agricultural customers or their grain customers, it is troubling to have another failure this soon after MF Global at a time when presumably there was enhanced oversight by regulators," Todd Kemp, vice president of marketing for the National Grain and Feed Association, said.
U.S. Corn Belt heat wave breaks, but this week's rains light
CHICAGO, July 9 (Reuters) – Sizzling temperatures abated in the U.S. Midwest
Corn Belt over the weekend, but light, scattered rains this week were expected
to miss the areas that need it most, agricultural forecasters said on Monday.
Midday weather updates indicated little to no change for this week's
forecast, with milder temperatures blanketing the Corn Belt, but rains will be
Weather fears on boil as center of US Corn Belt prays for rain
CHICAGO, July 6 (Reuters) – Fears are rising that grain
crops in the core of the U.S. Corn Belt – the top corn-producing
region in the world – will suffer big losses that are already
causing farmers to plow up fields in other regions of the belt,
agronomists and traders said on F rid ay.
Iowa and Illinois – which produce about a third of all U.S.
corn and soybeans — are threatened by the harshest heat wave in
more than half a century. Blistering temperatures, combined with
little rain, are stressing corn during pollination, the key
growth stage.
US drought brings back memories of 1988 crop losses
CHICAGO, June 28 (Reuters) – Just one year ago Jeff Scates
saw the worst flooding on his southern Illinois farmland since
1937. Today, Scates is watching his corn fields shrivel from the
driest season in 24 years.
"We've gone from one extreme to the other, from being
flooded on three-quarters of the farm now to a drought," said
Scates, 42, who with his family members farms 15,000 acres of
corn, soybeans and other crops along the Kentucky-Indiana border
where the Ohio and Wabash Rivers meet.
Grain shipping in upper US Midwest returning to normal
CHICAGO, June 21 (Reuters) – Port and rail operations for
grain shipping were beginning to return to normal in the upper
U.S. Midwest on Thursday after heavy rains drenched the region
this week, shippers said.
Major exporter CHS Inc said on Thursday it resumed
grain loading operations at its Superior, Wisconsin terminal, a
day after it halted loadings.
Oil lobby biggest threat to U.S. ethanol: RFA leader
CHICAGO (Reuters) – The biggest threat to U.S. ethanol makers, now struggling with negative profit margins, is not high corn prices but possible changes to the renewable fuel policy by Washington legislators, the top ethanol industry executive said on Wednesday.
"This year is tough. Our biggest challenge though is more about Capitol Hill and threats to policy than the markets and threats to profitability," Bob Dinneen, chief executive of the Renewable Fuels Association, told Reuters on-line grain forum.
Factbox: U.S. visa types for immigrants: Papers in farmland
CHICAGO (Reuters) – There are some 185 different types of visas offered by the U.S. State Department. The government approved 7.5 million visas in 2011, with 94 percent for those who enter the U.S. on a temporary basis for travel or short-term work. The remaining 6 percent were awarded to immigrants seeking permanent residency.
Immigration experts estimate that at least 12 million immigrants remain undocumented and thus illegal in the United States, including thousands of workers in agriculture and food-related industries.
Midwest farm town, transformed by immigration, thrives
BEARDSTOWN, IL (Reuters) – Two years ago, Bozi Kiekie taught English at a university in the Congo. Although he liked his work, he wasn't earning enough to make a good life for his family.
So Kiekie, 44, entered a lottery for one of 55,000 annual visas to enter the United States. When he won a so-called diversity visa, he came to Illinois, where he found a job cutting out hog tongues at the meatpacking plant in Beardstown, a small river town about 200 miles southwest of Chicago.

Critics of Arizona's tough new immigration law, which makes illegal immigration a state crime, have called supporters of the bill "racist," "mean-spirited" and "un-American." Here's the newsflash: The measure is also good politics, not only in Arizona, but nationally.
Usually after a measure like this has passed, the news media respond with stories about how the measure will hurt the GOP among Latino voters. This time, not so much.
A New York Times/CBS poll found that 51 percent of Americans see the Arizona law as "about right" and 9 percent said it does not go far enough; 36 percent said it went too far. Note the poll didn't ask a phony amorphous question, like whether voters support "immigration reform" -- the usual fodder that provides the rationale for said stories.
President Obama called the Arizona law "misguided" and said he favors "common-sense comprehensive immigration reform." It's all lip service. Obama reneged on his 2008 campaign pledge to push immigration reform -- with a path to citizenship for undocumented aliens -- during his first year in office because, well, it's political poison.
At a Cinco de Mayo event last week, Obama had a new promise -- "to begin work this year" on an immigration bill. In Spanish, that translates into: Adios, amigos.
Of course, not all Latino voters want to relax immigration laws, but to the extent that they do, they have guaranteed that the Democratic Party will take their votes for granted.
Meanwhile, why should Republicans stick their necks out for a demographic that abandoned John McCain in the 2008 presidential election? He risked his political ambitions by pushing for a federal bill with a pathway to citizenship in 2007 and then, according to an Edison/Mitofsky exit poll, McCain won a lousy 31 percent of the Latino vote -- down from George W. Bush's 44 percent in the 2004 presidential contest.
Obama helped kill that bill, and he won 67 percent of the demographic. When it's in their interests, Democrats ditch their pro-illegal immigration corner. In 2003, the Democratic California Legislature passed a bill to allow illegal immigrants to obtain driver's licenses. Voters revolted and recalled Gov. Gray Davis, who signed the measure. In a craven act of cowardice, the Legislature quickly voted to rescind the bill it had passed.

Whatever happened to those regulatory investigations of Safeco Insurance's business practices employed by then-CEO (2001-05) and now-Senate candidate Mike McGavick? "Nothing, as far as we>"/>
Whatever happened to those regulatory investigations of Safeco Insurance's business practices employed by then-CEO (2001-05) and now-Senate candidate Mike McGavick? "Nothing, as far as we know," says Safeco spokesperson Paul Hollie. "We submitted all the information they requested and nothing has come of it as yet."
A P-I story today recounts McGavick's successful cost-cutting measures that turned Safeco around financially, but doesn't get into the topic of outside investigations of practices that may have aided the turnaround. In 2005 and 2006, Safeco and other insurance companies faced allegations of improper payments, bid rigging, and anticompetitive industry practices in probes by more than a dozen U.S. and state regulators.
The investigations were spurred by New York Attorney General (and now gubernatorial candidate) Eliot Spitzer, who susequently obtained settlements with insurance-broker giants Marsh & McLennan, Aon and AIG. A spokesperson for NY's AG office says they can't comment on whether or not any investigations continue. Safeco, too, can't say if there are any open or closed investigations into its practices. "Nothing has moved forward as far as we know," says Hollie. "There have been no requests for follow up and no decision has been delivered to us."
Washington Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler undertook a review into bidding practices and broker compensation fees at 18 firms, including Safeco, the state's No. 2 insurer. In a report Kreidler issued in January that focused mostly on brokers rather than insurers such as Safeco, no widespread wrongdoing was found, says spokesperson Sandi Peck. Kreidler himself said the "investigation found some violations where brokers were not disclosing compensation arrangements with consumers, [but] the problems do not approach the magnitude or scope that was revealed at the national level." Peck says she's not aware of any other probes of Safeco although open investigations are never made public.
Safeco is in court fighting an effort by the state Democratic Party to force release of a 2003 state report on the industry's credit-scoring process, which can be used to, arguably, unfairly disadvantage customers who are most likely to file claims. McGavick backed credit scoring as a way to cut costs. The report gives more details on that method used by Safeco and two other companies.
Kreidler's office feels the report can be publicly released, as does a Thurston County Superior Court judge, but Safeco has appealed that court's recent decision, bottling up the report until after the election at least.

So basically I've have found a horse that I am interested in, ridden it twice and tried everything I wanted to do with it. Owners seemed happy with my capabilities and so now we are going ahead with the 5 stage vetting. The reason we are going 5 stage instead of 2 is because as far as I see yes it is 'a bit' more money now but it could save 'a lot' of money in the future if we only did 2 stage and missed something vital.
Anyway I was wondering a couple things about post vetting etc.
1)If for some reason the horse fails a particular part of the vetting but the vet doesn't recon it is going to make much difference (or whatever the situation maybe) will a failed part of 5 stage vetting have an impact on insurance? - will it be more expensive?
2)Have you ever bought a horse that failed a vetting? Why? Has it turned out okay?
3)What are the most common areas for horse to fail in (I've heard bits and bobs about flexion tests being really hard to pass? Is this true?)
4)During the vetting what should I be looking out for?
5)As the potential buyer am I going to be expected to ride at all or am I just observing?
Wish me luck! Any tips and advice please as this will be my first horse and first vetting experience!:) thanks in advance!

Outlook Express IMAP Settings
Use this screen to create default IMAP settings for your users. These settings are preconfigured for users when they create their IMAP accounts.
Root folder path
The root folder path is the mailbox that contains all of the users' folders on the IMAP server. For Cyrus servers, all users' folders must be contained in the Inbox folder. For UNIX-based IMAP servers, mail is usually stored in its own folder in the user's home folder (for example, ~username/Mail). Do not end the root folder path with a hierarchy character. For example, ~username/Mail is a valid root folder path, but ~username/Mail/ is not. Some IMAP servers, such as Microsoft Exchange Server, do not require a root folder path.

After announcing her pregnancy on the last season of "Love & Hip Hop" &
UPDATED: Which 'Love & Hip Hop' Star Is Pregnant? (Confirmed)
UPDATED [March 1, 2012]: According to Necole Bitchie, Yandy Smith is also preggers. The former Manager to Jim Jones showed up at Club Dolce recently while partying with a baby bump. Evidently she's in her second trimester:
UPDATED [Jan 21, 2012]: Yandy has denied rumors that she is with child. Turns out her dear friend & fellow castmate, Kimbella is actually the one expecting. Watch a preview of the upcoming episode where she divulges the information to her parents:
Get More: TV Shows, Full Episode Video, Reality TV Shows
Earlier this week reports surfaced that a star of the hit reality television series, "Love & Hip Hop" was with child. But her identity had yet to be revealed — until now. According to Baller Alert, Yandy is currently in her first trimester:
Yandy Smith from VH1's Love And Hip Hop show is keeping a little secret. It turns out she is 3 months pregnant by her boyfriend. The same boyfriend who [allegedly] tried to rob Jim Jones a few months ago.
Though the reports have yet to be officially confirmed, I will update this post with more details (such as who the child's father may be). Either way, if this is indeed true, CONGRATS!
Love & Hip Hop Sneak Peek: New Girls + Kimbella Gets Into Another Brawl
The upcoming episode of Love & Hip Hop looks quite entertaining!
In the sneak peek for next week's episode, Jim Jones heads to the Audi dealership with Juelz Santana to purchase a new car — instead of another ring for Chrissy. Then the ladies — Chrissy, Emily & Teairra — get together to discuss Kimbella & whether or not should she be a part of the circle. What's more, it appears that Kimbella gets into yet another brawl, but this time with the show's latest cast member, video vixen Erica Mena.
Watch the sneak peek below:

Sean Kingston Confirms Dating Drakes Ex, Why Do Artists Date The Same Girls?
Sean Kingston showed up on the American Music Awards red carpet on Sunday night with a new girl on his arm. While she is new to him, Maliah Michele is known to many as Drake's ex-girlfriend.
Maliah has a history with the Young Money rapper that is undeniable, as he not only featured her in his "Find Your Love" video but also rapped about the former stripper in his "Miss Me" single ("…someone tell Maliah, I'm on fiyah, she should work tonight…").
After Twitter users began to criticize Sean for dating Drake's "sloppy seconds", he rebutted, writing: "Sloppy seconds? Not that at all… she is a great woman with a great heart that deserves the best in life."
Wonderful. However, this brings me to ask why artists feel the need to date the same women?
Amber Rose is a terrific example, as she was made famous by dating Kanye West & is now in a very, very public relationship with Wiz Khalifa.
Model Jasmine Sanders, who once dated Chris Brown, recently showed up on a red carpet with none other than Young Jeezy.
Kimbella, star of 'Love & Hip Hop', also caused a stir amongst show viewers (& a fight) when she confessed to dating Fabolous while Emily was pregnant with his child. She dated Fabolous right before dating & having a child with fellow rapper Juelz Santana.
One might assume that with money, celebrity & power comes a myriad of women — so why do these artists keep recycling models and former strippers?
Amber Rose As You've Never Seen Her Before…
All covered up!
Amber Rose hit the New York City streets on Friday night adorned in a fully buttoned shirt, shades, a full-length skirt, tights & boots. Though Amber was not scantily clad, she was attending a party (which she hosted with Juelz Santanta) at HK Lounge.
Though I can appreciate her style maturing, I'm not sure if I love this outfit on her.
Would you wear Amber's ensemble to a nightclub?

'Lucas' In The Laboratory
Elena Asparouhova, Peter Bossaerts, Nilanjan Roy, William Zame
NBER Working Paper No. 19068
This paper reports on experimental tests of an instantiation of the Lucas asset pricing model with heterogeneous agents and time-varying private income streams. Central features of the model (infinite horizon, perishability of consumption, stationarity) present difficult challenges and require a novel experimental design. The experimental evidence provides broad support for the qualitative pricing and consumption predictions of the model (prices move with fundamentals, agents smooth consumption) but sharp differences from the quantitative predictions emerge (asset prices display excess volatility, agents do not hedge price risk). Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) tests of the stochastic Euler equations yield very different conclusions depending on the instruments chosen. It is suggested that the qualitative agreement with and quantitative deviation from theoretical predictions arise from agents' expectations about future prices, which are almost self-fulfilling and yet very different from what they would need to be if they were exactly self-fulfilling (as the Lucas model requires).

We are happy to keep bringing you Hugs Across America news, highlight activities of our volunteers and create a fun place for our visitors, supporters and friends of our mission.
While you're here, browse the website to learn about our latest activities, click Chapters to find a Hugs chapter near you and don't forget to head to Kids Korner for fun games and activites.
The Hugs Across America annual cocktail party was a rousing success! Over 100 guests enjoyed dinner, music by jazz singer, Thos Shipley, words of touching wisdom from author, HBO commentator and past president of the Cystic Fibrosis Society, Frank Deford, as all helped honor some very special Hug's volunteers.
Katie Stainkamp, won the Presidential Points of Light Service Award this year and Ralph Iskaros our web master extraordinaire, received the annual Hugs "special effort" award. Thank you to all who attended and gave generously toward our mission to comfort children in crisis. Perhaps Frank Deford's words should be remembered by all who share this mission!
"I asked my 6 yr old daughter, Alex, what she wanted to be when she grew up and her response was, " A princess"! ...after many difficult therapy sessions of trying to dislodge mucous from her very clogged, Cystic, lungs by literally pounding her back ...I had occasion to ask again what she wanted to be, but her goal had changed ...when asked why, she said "Because Daddy, my crown will fall off." ... What your organization does by providing teddies and hugs of hope is to return to these hurting children the belief that they really are the prince and princess' of their dreams. "
My family is all safe as of right now, but this fire is honestly very unpredictable and new evacuations have been emerging every hour, on the hour since the fire began yesterday morning. We have about 250,000 people displaced from their homes county-wide tonight, with many of those communities, as I said, surrounding my hometown, so these are my neighbors, my friends, and my family members. Red Cross Shelters have been set up throughout the county, as well as a number of unofficial shelters because of the intense need and over-capacity.
I am very interested in getting some bears to these kids and families. Bless your heart for extended out a helping hand in our time of need. Estimates continue to climb as to the number of homes burned, and this is far from over. It is said to be worse that the "Cedar Fire 2003" in which some homes were just finished rebuilding this month, only to be burnt down again! So tragic. These bears could really bring some light into our very smokey world.
I just wanted to let you know that the number one item being requested by the Police/Volunteers and Red Cross, as of right now, is comfort items for children. The 200 plus Hugs bears that are already on the way will be a big help for these lost and frightened children... This only further demonstrates the immense impact your organization makes upon people in the worst of circumstances. : )
My name is Cristen Boerman and I am currently a student at San Diego State University, about to graduate in May 2008 with a Bachelors of Science in Family Development. I currently hold an Associates of Science degree in Child Development from Cuyamaca College and a permit from the California Comission on Teacher Credentialing as a Teacher.
I plan on working with students at San Diego State as well as local preschools to collect and tag bears for my Chapter of Hugs Across America.
Hugs Across America National Charity Fundraiser provides monies for teddies to children in traumatic circumstances throughout the country. Join us! ...or help with our effort. All are welcome!

He told the operator what happened and said he and his younger siblings hid all night because they were afraid.
"Somebody broke into our house last night and I don't know who it was and they killed everybody here except my sister, my brother and me," one of the children reported to police. His mother and grandmother were dead, but the children were not harmed.
The three young witnesses 9 yrs, 5 years and 3 years will be taken to Family Services and receive the hugs of teddies from the Kelsey Briggs Chapter of Hugs in Oklahoma. Thank you for being there for children in crisis.
Flash floods from constant and torrential rains soaked the Midwest flooding homes, stranding motorist and closing major transportation routes. Hugs chapters, both old and new, set out to help the American Red Cross as they created shelter after shelter around the Findlay, Ohio area.
Cincinnati's Church of the Nazarene Chapter joined a new chapter entitled "Bear Necessities" of Columbus and the Stonybrook United Methodist Church of Gahanna, Ohio, whose teddy program is joining our effort to provide hundreds of teddy bears to those children whose families are stranded and whose home are lost.
A special thanks to all for your quick response.

text: Comments (32) + Add comment Comments (32) Featured mochachino + 1092d ago Am I the only person that thinks most new release games for my PS3/360 seem like last-gen games and aren't worth $60. I can't bring myself to pay full price for 99% of new release games anymore, the systems are pushed to far and the graphics are either too blurry, choppy, screen tearing etc. Although I think GTA6, Last of Us and Bioshock Infinite may be exceptions (largely due to wealth of content or innovative experiences). Most games however, just aren't impressive enough to warrant AAA prices. They're last gen games to me. It's like paying $60 for a PS2 remake. #1 (Edited 1092d ago ) | Agree(41) | Disagree(7) | Report | Reply AznGaara + 1091d ago Which is why I'm glad Sly was brought down to $40. Maybe it's a new pricing structure Sony's doing with lesser 1st party games but I'd like to see this adapted with other publishers. I'm definitely getting Crysis 3 though after it drops to $20. I don't feel like paying $60 for a game I'm only interested in playing single player for. #1.1 Agree(21) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Gaming101 + 1091d ago Seriously, if this is a measly 5 hour game on normal difficulty I'm not buying it. Hunter mode is a cheap distraction. If they can't create a single player that last's more than 10 hours, considering it's more open world than Crysis 2, you would've thought they could include more. This is starting to look like a stupid tech demo. Multiplayer was garbage. Hunter mode was a distraction; something that loses all its novelty after not very long. Plus with cloak suit it's practically a camper's dream. Now you have people sitting and waiting while being invisible so you have no chance of not getting killed by them. If you have a PC this game's only redeeming factor is that it's really good looking provided you were nerdy enough to spend 2 grand on your PC to make Crysis 3 run on ultra high settings. #1.1.1 Agree(12) | Disagree(8) | Report jimbobwahey + 1091d ago @Gaming101 Bingo. There's a reason that PC elitists only ever talk about the graphics of Crysis and never the gameplay, it's because the games are rubbish. The only reason they buy these games is because there's literally nothing else out there that makes use of their ridiculously overpriced graphics cards, and Crytek only pushes these games out to flog their Cryengine to an industry that has no interest since there are vastly superior engines already being used out there. #1.1.2 Agree(8) | Disagree(12) | Report Cam977 + 1091d ago I'm exactly the same. I haven't bought a full price game in months, in fact, the last full priced game I bought was Ratchet and Clank's HD TRILOGY on PS3 last week for £24. Those are last gen games! Even they weren't £40. #1.2 Agree(5) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply TheXgamerLive + 1091d ago probably more like 7 to 9 hrs bc often people use walkthroughssadly. many fps games are MP based so now they put so little in the SP campaign and thats sad bc i love the sp more than most mp. CooP is hella fun though. If your into the crisis style then id guess youll love this C3. personally, Id love to see a 60 hr. campaign with no mp in a open game like this. That id pay 60 dollars for. Im tired of so many mp games. Hell they've even did a horrible thing and stick it in Tomb Raider. #1.3 (Edited 1091d ago ) | Agree(3) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply GROTSTOMPA + 1091d ago Many, many, many, many game developers have proven this theory otherwise a thousand times over... you can do both with decent strategy perfectly fine, SP/MP providing you know how to balance the multiplayer aspects of course which tends to take experience. - Not a company out there has the excuse of having "problems devoting resources" to one side or the other in a MP/SP game... They already know their budgets, therefore no excuse. They can clearly do BOTH equally as it's been shown before many times.. therefore I (sometimes) blame the garbage developers *BUT* more than likely it's the publisher pushing the developers too hard to CASH IN on the gaming community in the cheapest way possible by splitting a "too small of a budget", or a "CHEAP" publisher budget between SP/MP instead of doing the most logical thing and making the community happy as well as cashing in. - I wrote an article over a year ago saying this is Cryteks last chance to fix their Crysis series with their fans (after Crysis 2 travesty)... everyone kindly agreed, well... this is it. GG Crytek... this is a fail. (Bottom line, literally. If you can't split a decent enough budget -knowingly ahead of time- in order to make both SP/MP then do one or the other.. so simple). Crytek is HUGE, no excuse. #1.3.1 (Edited 1091d ago ) | Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report Pandamobile + 1092d ago Five hours for one reviewer isn't indicative that it will be 5 hours for everyone. It's probably 6-8 for a normal player, maybe 8+ if you're the kind of person who likes top stop and smell the flowers and just enjoy the scenery (which is something you should always do in a Crysis game) #2 Agree(9) | Disagree(14) | Report | Reply BLow + 1091d ago Yes and I'm one of those people. I like to take my time and not rush through the game. Especially, if there is stuff to collect then I try to search every nook and cranny. Even then, I still miss stuff and have to go through it again for the trophies of course...haha. I really don't see the point in rushing through games because you can miss stuff and are not getting the full experience the developer envisioned. I just like to take my time and just take everything in and feel like I got my money's worth. Unfortunately, I'm on a budget and won't pick this up on launch so I'll definitely feel like I got my money's worth when it's cheaper. That's a win in my book. #2.1 Agree(3) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply joab777 + 1091d ago I dont rush either but this is absurd. Am i the only one that feels crysis 3 was kinda rushed to get out before gen cycle ended. It actually looks alot like what crysis 2 should have and at 5 hrs and limited improvemwnts other than polish and pc upgrade is more like an expansion. Honestly i wish games like crysis, cod,battlefield would just do multiplayer. Sell it for $60 with 2x as many maps...put the effort there. Or go free to play for multiplayer with big updates. If u wanna tell another story, sell it for $25 and whoever wants it can buy it. The model is changing completely. The market is saturated and gamers just wont shell out $60 anymore for 5 hr campaigns. I cant wait to see the numbers on DS3, Aliens, Crysis 3 and metal gear rising. Personalky, i think MGR will do the best because it is different but i dont think these games will sell like they once did. #2.2 Agree(2) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply Mrmagnumman357 + 1089d ago Crysis' main component has always been the SP. The campaign isn't 5 hours, multiple people on Crydev confirmed the length to be 7-8 hours. On a higher difficulty, without rushing, 10 hours sounds reasonable. #2.2.1 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report Bathyj + 1091d ago Yeah, I call BS on this. 5 hours on a speed run, maybe. But is that the way you should play a game? Especially a game like Crysis which has such a heavy stealth element. And like you said, eye candy. I'll bet this game takes over ten hours for me. #2.3 Agree(8) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply Somebody + 1091d ago It took me 2 years to finish Darksiders. Played it non stop until I felt I'm around 3/4 of the campaign and then I stopped. Then just a couple month before Darksiders 2 came out I replayed the first one and actually finished it. The pattern is repeating itself with Darksiders 2 now. #2.4 Agree(0) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply Gr81 + 1091d ago I knowMultiplayer is a top priority for many of these types of games, but that shouldn't mean the single player aspect takes a back seat...Especially if the single player campaigns are 5 hrs long? And they want $60? shiiiiiit. #3 Agree(11) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Skate-AK + 1091d ago I don't think it will be 5 hours. I just don't see them cutting down 17-18 hours down to 5. Including side missions. #4 Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Reborn + 1091d ago Yeah, me and my friends want to grab this. However, we can't justify the price. Games are too expensive to just simply go out and buy for the sake of it. MP is a huge aspect, but quality should be applied across all sectors. On the other hand, everyone plays games differently. So I would use that as an average, rather than an accurate means of measurement. #5 (Edited 1091d ago ) | Agree(4) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply JedMan1985 + 1091d ago I see what your saying mochachino, but crysis franchise should only be play on PC. Then you won't get that blurry, choppy, screen tearing effect. #6 Agree(3) | Disagree(3) | Report | Reply pr0digyZA + 1091d ago 5 hours seems short. But if you take a step back and think about this then A ) the magazine had a deadline as it needed to go to print and was the first review, meaning the reviewer was most likely pressed for time. B) when crysis 2 was released some reviewers claimed it was 6 hours long, which turned out to be not true for the majority of players (although some finished in 4 hours, but others finished In 15), this seems to show that there is quite a lot of variation in play styles that can affect time. The only way we will really know for sure is when more reviews are up. #7 Agree(4) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply soultecc + 1091d ago this game is gonna suck d:~k anyway #8 Agree(5) | Disagree(5) | Report | Reply JedMan1985 + 1091d ago lol you're judging to soon. Wait for the game, play it then judge. #8.1 Agree(9) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply Lone_Man + 1091d ago i am gonna disagree with 4th reason ...i work 55 hours a week and at the end of the weekend i want a game which with good plot...i dont like to watch television and all that crap on TV...and due to some rigional problems my internet connect is shitty so there goes my chance to play with my friends online...so at the end of the day i just want a game with good storyline and a loooong campaign. #9 Agree(3) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply DigitalSmoke + 1091d ago Crysis has been crap since the second, open your eyes cayse this isn't anything to write home about ether. #10 Agree(3) | Disagree(4) | Report | Reply MasterD919 + 1091d ago There's always Crysis 4... #11 Agree(2) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply JedMan1985 + 1091d ago Hell ya man, It's most likely going for next gen consoles. But I'm a PC gamer so I'll be getting it for that just lik I'm doing for Crysis 3 because I don't want to get blurred out, you know what I'm saying. #11.1 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply hazelamy + 1091d ago style over substance? #12 Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Oh_Yeah + 1091d ago I see all this crysis hate on n4g but why? I hear most of you saying all crytek does is just focus on graphics and the gameplay is crap. I question if these people have actually played a crysis game...I mean compare crysis to its genre.. cod, halo, and battlefield. You get something in between, a mixture of all three. For what it is the gameplay is far from crap and the story and length? Yeah like those other games have good stories and substance.. Come on son -_- the gameplay is fun..and more inventive than cod, and battlefield...with many different ways to approach battle, with your kick ass suit and all. Its more realistic then halo, the multilayer is like a mix between cod and halo. And it looks better than all 3. What more do you want? #13 (Edited 1091d ago ) | Agree(3) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply pandehz + 1091d ago I know right. Most ppl have no clue what gameplay means and I bet most ppl who said Crysis gameplay sucks have not played it or is not like their fav shooter. Ive played almost every AAA title in the past 6 yrs and Crysis is pretty much up there with all the big shooters. Crysis has good gameplay nuff said #13.1 Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Kinger8938 + 1091d ago 5 hours is fine if it stays fresh and keeps me engaged for the whole duration! I.e Spec ops the line! He mentions halo 4 being short at the top but i even dtruggled woth that, if it was any longer i would have given up due to the same objectives rinsed and repeated through out the whole game It takes peopke differently, i cant usually play games that are too long as i tend to lose interest but saying that ni no kuni is going very well Ill probably wait to get this cheap on pc sometime fore the single player #14 (Edited 1091d ago ) | Agree(0) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply Braid + 1091d ago Some people rush it, some people take their time and watch the scenery. I was one of the latter, but as the time goes by I started to find it difficult than ever to make time for gaming, therefore in a weird way I kind of like games with shorter campaigns better now. Even though I'd like to take my time, I find myself rushing thinking that I've got other things to do and other games to play, which is a shame. As much as I love games like Dark Souls, I generally leave them unbeat due to shortage of time, and I really, really hate doing that. Besides we're having at least three good releases every month, shorter games allow you to move on to the others and by doing so you don't miss anything. That being said, 6 hours for an FPS campaign is perfectly fine. It should be 9 at maximum, which you can actually achieve if you don't rush it, and longer than that is stretching it. The game gets repetitive and tiresome after a while, and you start to lose your interest by the time you reach the ending, which should be the "climax" of the game.

Crysis is still in my top 3 games of all time. Arguments can be made about shorter, linear campaigns. I won't deny that. But ever since CoD MW, Crytek has done all it can to be just like it. Crysis: Warhead anyone? Crysis was great for its simplistic approach. Give player 4 suit powers, big areas, a couple of objectives, and let them loose. You could complete it in 10 hrs or 20 hrs depending on how you played. The ai sucked in many areas but still managed to sneak up on me from time to time. Crysis 2 was just not as fun, to me. I couldn't just stop and commit mass deforestation(I know there were no trees) for no reason, there was always someone screaming in my ear pulling me to the next concrete pathway. I was no longer a soldier with an advanced suit, but a magical superhero. It lost me. (Technically, when it was announced Crysis 2 would be set NYC was when it lost me. Waited till a price drop and when it came back to Steam to give it a go.) Now here comes Crysis 3. I've gone from Crysis being one of my personal top 3, to not even caring at all about Crysis 3. That's what's sad. Despite my personal feelings, I hope its successful. Because if Crysis 2 was to others the way Crysis was to me then they deserve to continue having that experience. #18 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Add comment You need to be registered to add comments.

Special thanks to Liz for her help getting me through this first part of my journey. It was incredible to be able to meet her at MDA...our appts overlapped, my first, her follow up. I was so scared I could hardly make sense!
Everyone on this site has helped me.... Just knowing that what was happening was "normal" for our cancer...
Of course y'all know how it is waiting for that first 3month checkup. Did the chemo and radiation GET the Alien (tumor) or is surgery going to be needed? And the fear of a colostmy is at the edge of conscienceness. I do not worry overly because I seem to be doing well, just try to enjoy now.
Not sure I would go for a colostomy bag or not.....will decide if necessary.....
Feeling good!

Mandee - The IUD hurt me bad too. That cramping is just gross! Hope you feel better. Ibuprofin helped me when I had mine done.
I just have some pictures of what I've been knitting. I made this for my nephew's baby that is due any day now. My sister is over the moon because she had 4 boys and now is having her first grandbaby...a girl!
Had to try it on a doll..I am so in love with this hat
Mama to 3 sweet loves
Mavi, Ayla, & Duru
Mandee - sorry it hurt so bad. Hope it gets better soon.
I need to upload pics but am going crazy trying to get house ready for pictures from realtor. We are moving a bunch of stuff to a storage unit tomorrow. UGH!
Judy - can you make something like this www.etsy.com/listing/76826085/lil-b... but perhaps with a green buckeye leaf near top to one side or down on the darker color? A real buckeye is just the nut, but I think the leaf would give more definition. This is a more detailed picture of the leaf www.buckeyeleaf.com/index.html
Mandee-I hope you feel better.
Judy-That is just adorable! You are so talented with that! You should open up a shop.
Thanks guys. The cramping lasted for 3 hours, then I was fine. I was surprised at how much it hurt. It was like a 3 hour contraction, and I didn't get a baby. At least it lasts for 5 years.
When I saw the doctor yesterday I asked him if the IUD was ok since I BF...he was like how old is your youngest, 2...and you're still BFing? I expect those types of comments from other people, but not doctors! Men!
Mom to Thomas David 10/19/06 and Rebecca Paige (aka Becca) 7/15/09 and Dance Studio owner.
25.88% of the way to being debt free! (5 Year Plan)
Thanks everyone!
Mandee - What kind of IUD did you get? Mine was the copper one so it didn't have any hormones. I still breastfed Mavi for a long time while I had it in. I'm not so sure about the Mirena one with BFing. Oh don't you just love those comments?? Does Becca still nurse a lot? Duru is down to only once...at night before bed.
Kristi - I know I can make the basic hat easily. I will need to work on a pattern to knit the leaves in it. I actually had to lookup what a buckeye is LOL! I'm working on a soaker for Duru right now. After I'm done, I'll give it a try and let you see what you think.

Hurricane-- the rain is starting here and dh and the boys are out on a bike ride! I hope they get back soon. The hurricane effects are supposed to hit us tomorrow, but will be tropical storm level by the time it gets here. I am still worried because of the huge old trees around our house and we will probably lose power.
Jennifer SAHM to four cute boys
Reaves (11.8.06), Grant (5.28.08), Dorian (5.24.10) & Clarke (2.26.12)
Jennifer - Praying that you guys are safe.
Judy - I just noticed that one hat looks like a cup cake...I couldn't tell on my cell phone. I got the Mirena. I figure that I was on two hormones with the pill, and only one with the Mirena. Becca still nurses ALOT. Usually I try to distract her in the morning cause we're so rushed getting ready for work/school. She'll nurse whenever I let her though.
We went to a family picnic at a local park today. My kids were the only ones in the splash pad wearing shirts and hats. I felt kinda weird, but at least they were eary to spot, and didn't get burned. I was shocked that no one else had their kids covered. Usually in this day and age people cover them up more.
Then we went back to the picnic area, and DH's cousin's wife was smoking (and she was hugely pregnant). She blew smoke at Becca, so I moved Becca to my side of the picnic table. I just don't get people who smoke near kids, regardless if we're outside. Unfortunately alot of Dave's family smokes. It was a really fun day though.
Edited to add...They're naming the baby Jackson...which they are spelling Jaxion.
Mom to Thomas David 10/19/06 and Rebecca Paige (aka Becca) 7/15/09 and Dance Studio owner.

Green Gets Anther Offer; Huggins Gets Number 20
Hivera Green of Conway has received two offers in the last two days. Monday night, he received an offer from the University of South Carolina and that was followed on Tuesday with an offer to Maryland.
A 6-5, 255-pounder, Hivera (pronounced like Javier HA VEE AYR) notched five sacks as a junior. His combination of size and speed he runs the 40-yard dash in 4.8 seconds allowed him to make 134 tackles for the state runner-up Conway Tigers.
Eric Huggins, Green's teammate, received his twentieth offer on Tuesday - this one from the University of North Carolina. Huggins, who has been one of the hottest commodities on the prospect market this spring, visited Oklahoma on an unofficial visit during Spring Break last week and liked what he saw. Sources tell us that Huggins has an "Oklahoma" plate on his SUV and was seen around school this week wearing an Oklahoma t-shirt. It has been believed from the beginning that the Sooners are the top favorite with the 6-3 receiver.

Howard L. Timms
Production problems are generally confined to internal firm relationships having physical, economic, and human dimensions. Business schools should concentrate on the last two aspects of production, relying chiefly on microeconomic analysis and taking account of the human aspects through the exercise of judgment. The business curriculum in production should move in this direction just as rapidly as students can acquire the necessary background preparation in mathematics, statistics, and science.
Production is a pervasive function in American business. On this account alone it ought to be a core course in the business school curriculum, if it can be offered at an intellectual level appropriate to the university course. This can be done, as will be shown, provided the student's mathematics-statistics skills are improved considerably over what they usually are now. For students with the appropriate level of talent in mathematics-statistics, and an interest in the production area of business, a concentration (major) can, and very probably should, be offered in production, so designed that it will promote maximum exploitation of their talents and interest. This can be done at both the undergraduate and graduate level in a 9- to 12-hour major.
The task undertaken here is to outline in general terms the direction which business schools should follow in the area of production. The ideas presented here are the outgrowth of a number of years of practice in production management, almost as many years of teaching in the area, followed by considerable discussion with many who are interested in improving the production curriculum. The recommendations for the future are in part an extrapolation of movements already under way in a number of schools of business and in part the outgrowth of faculty ideas

Holyrood Week, Stewart Paterson / / Opinion
I AM feeling a bit uneasy this week and just a little bit queasy.
I'm hoping however, it will be cured come Sunday.
What is making me uneasy is the apparent growing popularity of Ukip, but more worryingly, what is making me queasy is some even more sinister groups stirring up hatred but pretending to be "standing up for Britain", whatever that means.
I wanted to turn it off, but for professional reasons I felt compelled to watch the Party Election Broadcast by those calling themselves "Britain First".
It was little more than an anti-Islamic broadcast which under any other circumstances would not have been allowed on our screens. What they really meant, with their warnings of Mosques taking over the landscape and Mohammed being the most popular name in some areas, was "Whites First".
Then the group shamelessly tried to tie their message of anti-immigration, particularly Islam, with support for our armed forces today and what men and women fought for in the Second World War.
We are all entitled to our views but I don't think our forces, past or present, served in order to create a racist, insular, all-Christian Britain. Ukip are little better with Nigel Farage letting the thin mask slip with his comments about being worried if you ended up living next door to Romanians.
Promoted stories
I'd be concerned if Nigel Farage moved in next door.
When a country faces tough economic times there can often be a search for a scapegoat. It is easy, but dangerous, to exploit frustrations to blame foreigners, taking our jobs, draining our benefits system, jumping the housing queue and committing crimes.
Nigel Farage and co are in favour of relaxing employment regulations and cutting corporate taxes but little is to be said about protecting workers rights and reducing the widening inequality gap.
They tell the people suffering as a result of austerity, whether it is people dependent on food banks or workers whose wages have stagnated that their enemy is people from other counties coming to Britain because they are suffering similar or in some cases far worse in their own country.
But little on the individuals and corporations who are still managing to multiply their own wealth while contriving to pay as little tax as they choose.
Mr Farage promotes himself as a man of the people, but I'm not sure what planet, never mind country, those people are from and their support in some parts of the UK is astounding as it is worrying. It is not my place to tell anyone who to vote for any more than it is yours, but I hope that those spouting racial and religious hate and those encouraging xenophobia are sent a strong message when we get the results on Sunday. You are not welcome.

Rooftop Bars London
Picture the scene: You, your closest mates, an ice-cold drink and one of London's leading rooftop bars. A formidable combination indeed; but where exactly are these top al-fresco spots to be found? Our guide to the best rooftop bars in London reveals all, whether that's for Champagne capers, or some of the best rooftop parties in the business.
Select a venue on the map
The season of boat parties and daytime drinking is always just around the corner, whether it's seizing those short blue skies or taking advantage of the summer months. Whatever the weather, there's plenty of parties on the river Thames in London that are worth a go. Think BBQ foods, Pimms o'clock and sailing past London's epic skyline.
Found in a darling Georgian town house in the heart of Farrindgon, those with hankerings for sunshine pickings and drinks upon a London roof terrace won't be hard pushed to enjoy this neat treat. A babe in botanicals found atop the Bird of Smithfield, this petite rooftop bar is a meandering of cocktails and faux grass alike.
An East London favourite for rooftop tinkerings, the Queen of Hoxton's summer pop-up bar will have you knocking back lush cocktails and Cuban inspired food alike. With its smattering of colour here, cutesy plants there and a roaring selection of party nights throughout the summer, these are sweet East London digs for a rooftop bar in London.
An ever so swish private members club in the heart of Moorgate, Eight is a rooftop bar in London with finesse and charm to its name. From high-end bottles of the good stuff to renowned evenings and charming London views, this rooftop haunt is a smasher in the summer.
Super swish, decadent and charming all at once, The Roof Gardens in Kensington is no ordinary drinking experience. Get glammed up and head over to Kensington High Street to find London's only rooftop private members club. They bring out all kinds of tasty BBQ treats in the summer, serve up delightful cocktails and party hard until 3am at the weekends.
If you head up to the top of the Ham Yard Hotel, you'll discover a secret rooftop terrace. Here, artisan gin pioneers Sipsmith will be opening up a pop-up bar to keep you warm during the winter months. They've conjured up a menu of toasty gin-based tipples for you to sip on as you take in the spectacular skyline views - think hot G&Ts and steaming gin juleps.
This heated rooftop haven is the perfect escape from those busy London streets. Get cosy on these timber benches and soak up those summer rays with your favourite mates, watch the sun set with a hot date (because you're oh so romantic) or just chill with a pint, a tasty tipple or some fine wine for a night to remember.
Why limit yourself to one roof terrace when you could have two? That's the trail of thought at Broadway House; the effortlessly chic private members club on Fulham Road. Lap up those rays in some style as you meander between the chic members lounge and one of the aforementioned terraces.
Shoreditch House is a dynamic private members house which comes complete with a 16 metre heated swimming pool, bar, kitchen and lounge. It's a popular choice for anybody looking to work, socialise and relax in chilled surroundings and can be found just minutes away from Old Street station. Always bustling come rain or shine, Shoreditch House is one of the most striking members clubs in town.
If it's stunning views of St Paul's, a tasty tapas menu and creative cocktail card that you're after, Madison's is an absolute must. Their roof terrace is among the most spacious in the continent, but it's head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to the views on offer. Come by when the sun is setting for a cocktail or bite to eat and you'll see what we mean.
Tuck into a cocktail or two atop the Trafalgar Hotel while you survey the Square in all its splendour. Neatly styled and offering up relaxing vibes, you'd be forgiven for forgetting that you were right in the midst of one of the most iconic sights in the world.
Pull up a chair and get comfy at the spectacular Vertigo 42 Champagne Bar. It's situated atop the iconic Tower 42 and offers fantastic views of London alongside its delectable tapas and hearty spread of champagnes, wines and cocktails. Got a hot date lined up? We'd like to nudge you in the direction of Vertigo 42, you can thank us later!
An urban outdoor oasis with stunning views of London's skylines, the faux grass flooring, lush greenery and deckchairs of Dalston Roof Park create a chilled and friendly atmosphere ideal for whiling away a warm, summer evening. Best of all, a £3 donation gets you membership for the whole summer which includes all of their great film screenings, music events and street food stalls.
It's one of the most talked about rooftop bars in South London and it's with good measure, what with its incredible space and top notch selection of party nights. A summer pop-up with some seriously sweet views of the city, this indie favourite is awash with punters once the sun comes both up and down.
Formerly only open to its members; Netil360 overlooks one of East London's most fashionable neibourhoods, and promises skyline views, hot tubs and a creative-as-you-like events roster. Atop the Netil House building by Broadway Market and London Fields, expect a non-pretentious atmosphere and comfy seating to boot.
Radio Rooftop Bar, situated on the 10th floor of the ME hotel on The Strand, and boasts a terrace cocktail bar that sits at the top of London's newest boutique hotels. With spectacular views overlooking such iconic buildings as Tower Bridge, The Shard London Bridge, St. Paul's Cathedral as well as the Southbank and Covent Garden's theatre district; this London rooftop bar is certainly an elegant and stylish place to enjoy a cocktail and a Mediterranean inspired bite to eat.
Coq D'Argent serves up classic French fare in a truly striking setting. Head outside to explore their terrace and gardens while gazing up at London's iconic skyscrapers. The terrace offers a perfect retreat from the frenetic outside world and is perfect for a date, business meeting or just wiling away the hours with a drink in tow.
Sip a tasty cocktail and take in the stunning views of East London whilst sat in the Sail of the high end Shoreditch rooftop bar. Boundary is a stylish roof top bar and the perfect escape for a lazy sunny afternoon or evening.
Perhaps somewhat off the radar of the London rooftop bar scene, The Red Lion is one of our secret picks. Nestled just off Hoxton Square, those looking for rooftop and terraces in Shoreditch will be delighted to discover this gem. The venue has a rooftop garden and terrace with great views of East London and fires up a BBQ on the weekends.

text: Greener02 - Unregistered July 30, 2010 8:24 PM Good to see Rea up in second hes surprised me this season. Hes adapted really well.
