| Why Couldn't Kids Escape House Fire? - msnbc.com Posted: 11 Nov 2010 05:11 AM PST CITRA, Fla. — Ronald Flood just looks across his yard and is reminded of the tragedy in Citra, where five children were killed in a house fire late Monday night. All Flood knows is there are many questions left to be answered. "It seems like you should have been able to get out, but I don't know," he said. Video: 911 Calls Released In Fatal Fire Images: 5 Children Killed In Fire The three boys killed in the fire -- 15-year-old Joseph Jordan, 13-year-old Austin Jordan and 8-year-old William Jordan -- were in their bedrooms in the front of the 1,400-square-foot home, and the two girls who died in the fire -- 6-year-old Trenity Jordan and 12-year-old Shyanne Jordan -- were in their bedroom in the back of the house. Many neighbors are asking: How could they not get out? The state fire marshal's office and neighbors depicted a diagram of the home. They said the two younger boys' room had two doors leading outside, while the older brother was in his bedroom, which did not have an outside door. The two girls shared a bedroom in the back of the home, and their aunt, 21-year-old Kyla Cole, was rescued from that room, but was badly burned. The children's mother, 31-year-old Krista Jordan, and grandmother, 54-year-old Linda Cole, were in adjacent rooms. They both made it out safely. Fire investigators said Wednesday that the smoke alarms in the house didn't work, so it's unclear if the children were overcome by smoke or flames. Neighbors said they could hear cries for help shortly after the fire started. "I was hearing the mother screaming, 'Save my babies. Save my babies,'" Flood said. "She was yelling and screaming. We tried to do everything we could to help her save the babies. There was nothing that could be done." The state fire marshal is still investigating the fire. As for a cause of the fire, investigators said they believe a space heater could be the culprit, but they said there are other things that could have started the blaze. "One of them is the heater and a basket of clothes that is pretty close to the heater," said Lt. Robbie Stevens, of the state fire marshal's office. "We have some electrical issue." Stevens said the problem is there is not much left of any of those things to investigate to give them a definite answer on the cause of the fire. The 80-year-old, wooden house was small, and most of the walls were covered with paneling, which investigators said may have led to the fire moving so quickly and overtaking the house in a matter of minutes. "Why they could not get out, I can't answer that right now," Stevens said. "Obviously, there are some questions we are still seeking answers to. We did not see anything obstruction-wise. We don't have any reason to believe the windows were screwed shut. We did not see burglar bars, but we don't have a lot left to look at."

| Sewing Machine Projects for Kids: How to Make a Tulle Skirt - Associated Content Posted: 10 Nov 2010 07:03 PM PST Teaching your daughter how to sew and design her own clothes is a great way to save money in this economy on expensive fashion items. Sewing machine projects  For an alternative to these retail prices, try this no-pattern sewing machine project with your daughter: 1. Visit your local fabric store and purchase a couple of yards of tulle. Bright neon and pastel colors are popular for young pre-teen girls, so consider hot pink, yellow, orange, and lime green. Each yard of tulle is pretty cheap and only costs about $1-3 (depending on the store). Purchase a half yard of cotton in a color that matches the tulle, and don't forget a zipper. 2. Here's how to cut your fabric without using a pattern. Measure your daughter's correct skirt length and width by using a measuring tape along her waist and legs. After taking each measurement (remember to leave an extra 1 inch on each side for the seams), mark the fabric with straightpins where it should be cut. Let your daughter cut out 4 of the same exact sizes, so that you have 2 pieces front-and-back for the outside layer, and 2 pieces front-and-back for the inside layer. TIP: You can add volume to the final product by using more inside layers. Just cut out additional matching pieces of the tulle to sew in. 3. Have your daughter set the pieces of tulle to the side and prepare to cut the cotton fabric. Again, take measurements of the width of her waist, and use about 6 inches for the length. Use straightpins to mark the cotton where it should be cut. Let your daughter cut out 2 matching layers of cotton to create the waistband portion of her skirt.
