Fire Safety for Kids: 21 Fire Prevention Experts Share Their Top Tips to Keep Kids and Families Safe from Home Fires
There are many things in the world today that parents work hard to protect our children from. Fortunately for many of us, our home is a place that provides a safe haven, shielding our children from many dangers. But as many parents and homeowners know, there can be real dangers within the home as well: one of the most dangerous of them all is a home fire.
According to a recent report by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated average of 366,600 home structure fires each year between 2007-2011. Tragically, these fires caused an estimated average of 2,570 deaths and 13,210 injuries to civilians of all ages.
Since we here at Safe Sound Family pride ourselves on providing valuable home safety information for families, we wanted to learn more about the important topic of home fire safety. We specifically wanted to find some expert tips from parents and fire safety experts on what to do to ensure your child is safe in the case of a home fire. To do this, we asked 21 parents and fire safety experts to answer this question:
What's the #1 most important tip you can share to keep kids safe from home fires?"
We've collected and compiled their expert advice into this comprehensive guide on home fire safety. See what our experts said below:

The #1 most important tip I can share to keep children safe from home fires is…
Do not rely on the fire training they receive at school for your home.
Children receive excellent training at school regarding fire safety. However, this training does not necessarily mean children are able to evacuate their own homes during a fire. Most school settings are very different from the home. There are no lines painted on the ground or maps posted on the walls telling them where to go. A fire at school would be during the day, and the children are usually in groups, but at home it could be dark and the child might need to evacuate alone. It is therefore very important that families have their own fire training sessions, focused on their home.
A gradual approach to training your children is best. The first step is to plan two ways out of every room in the house. Physically walk the house as a family identifying these two exits. Then practice using these escape routes in a fun, non-threatening environment.
Once everyone knows how to get outside, a family meeting place should be identified. A tree, neighbor's house or a mailbox are good choices. Identify a single spot where you will all meet. This is important to quickly account for all members of your home.
The smoke detectors in your home sound very different to the fire alarms at school. Let your children hear it a few times, and then practice going to the family meeting place. Once they have done this a few times, tell them you might sound it any time and they are to evacuate just like they would in a real fire. Depending on their ages, you may need to practice quite frequently. Having a practiced home fire plan is the most important thing you can do for your children regarding fire safety.

I can think of lots of tips to help keep kids safe from home fires, but my most important tip is to…
Take all measures to eliminate the risk of a fire starting in your home.
The first step is to install and test smoke alarms on each level of your residence. This simple step can reduce your chance of dying from a fire by half. The next step is to review and practice escape routes with your family – you might not be able to get to your child in the event of a home fire, and it's imperative that they know how to escape on their own.
Next, make sure matches and lighters are stored up high and away from children, preferably in a locked cabinet.
Finally, make sure your electrical wiring is checked by an electrician to ensure your home is at the lowest risk possible for a fire.

If I was a genie and could grant one wish for a fire safety practice or device to protect kids it would be…
Living in a home (single or multi family) protected with a fire sprinkler system.
The NFPA (national fire prevention association) has done significant research and the majority of persons whom perish in a residential fire are very young or very old.
Smoke detectors are the first line of defense for most people but the very young (infants and toddlers) do not have the motor skills or the intelligence levels to escape on their own. Depending on the location and the intensity of the fire a quick rescue by the parents or caregivers may not be possible.
A residential fire sprinkler would extinguish the fire prior to lethal levels of heat and or deadly gasses from the smoke. Most fire deaths occur in the first three minutes of a fire. The best fire departments response times are three plus minutes after the fire has been discovered.
Parents should consider fire sprinklers when constructing or purchasing a new home.

She is also part of a Disaster Action Team for the American Red Cross, whereby every Friday night, she accompanies Philadelphia fire fighters to counsel and console victims of house fires who have been displaced with no where to go. In cases where a fatality has occurred, she along with a team of volunteers scours the surrounding neighborhood with new fire alarms and batteries.
It is estimated that while over 80% of homes in Philadelphia, where I am based, have fire alarms in them, in looking at the demographics of the zip code areas where the most fires (and fatal fires) occur, over 70% of those homes either do not have a fire alarm or the batteries have expired thus making the alarm non-functioning. So, my advice to parents is to…
Test their fire alarms and instruct their children to, in the case of a fire, get out of the house immediately whereby they can go to a neighbor's home to call 911. Many times I have met children who have saved the lives of their siblings and elderly grandparents because they did exactly that.

The most important tip for children surviving fire is…
Planned and practiced fire drills.
Operation E.D.I.T.H – Exit Drills In The Home:
- Draw an outline of your home.
- Now add the rooms and label them. Show important details: stairs, hallways, roofs that can be used as fire escapes.
- Choose a family meeting place and show it on the map.
- Check each room for the best way to escape.
- Test windows and doors.
- Be sure that everyone has at least two ways out.
- Escape ladders may be necessary.
- Any security devices should open easily.
- Always sleep with bedroom doors closed.
- Find a way for everyone to sound a family fire alarm. Yelling, pounding walls, whistles, etc..
- In a fire it is seconds, not minutes, that count.
- Roll out of bed but don't stand straight up because one breath of smoke or heated gases may be enough to kill you. And don't drop straight to the floor because some deadly gasses are heavier than air and drift down to the floor.
- Feel all doors before opening them, there may be fire on the other side. Never open a hot door! Ever!
- Once outside, go immediately to the family meeting place and stay there! Never re-enter a burning structure for any reason.
- Call the fire department from a neighbor's house. Tell the dispatcher if everyone is out or not.
- Begin with everyone in his or her bed.
- Sound the alarm. Press the smoke detector test button. Yell FIRE! Or use some other signal that your family members will recognize.
- Everyone should roll out of bed and follow their primary exit path while keeping their heads at doorknob level.

The most important tip to keep kids safe from home fires is…
Properly maintain your clothes dryer.
Dryers, heat and lint buildup in the venting system cause thousands of residential fires across the U.S. and Canada every year. A dryer's entire venting system should be cleaned out from the inside of the dryer to the outside vent cap at least once per year. Professionals can be hired for this job but it's usually a simple do-it-yourself job. A long, 20-foot cleaning brush enables homeowners to easily remove lint buildup from within the entire tube from the back of the dryer to the outside of a home.

My most important tips to keep kids safe from home fires come down to…
1. The parents' supervision of their children.
2. The keeping of matches, lighters and other fire starting items out of sight and out of the reach of children.
3. The possession and proper installation of home fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors.
4. Having a safety fence around a home fireplace or wood burner stove.

Tamara Habib is dedicated to helping people prepare for and recover from disasters, whether it be a house fire or a hurricane. She recently co-founded Firelily, a website designed to provide the information and funding people need to recover from disaster, where she spends her days being inspired by stories of survival.
The best thing parents can do to protect children from fires is to…
Talk to them about what to do if their smoke detectors start sounding.
Every family should have a plan that includes two different ways each person can leave the house in an emergency and where they will meet once they are outside.
Practicing this plan is so important because as the old adage says, practice makes perfect. Having a well-practiced plan dramatically increases the odds of a successful evacuation and reunification with family members.
Another great tip for parents regarding fire safety is the purchase of a voice recording smoke detector. Many people practice their plans but in the midst of the night, when woken to the sound of a beep while sleepy and disoriented, children may have trouble remembering what exactly they're supposed to do. Instead of running outside, as they may have practiced, they may run to their parent's bedroom instead, losing costly time to escape the house quickly.
These detectors allow parents to record their own message, providing specific directions about where to go and what to do in a familiar voice. The child hears it and not only remembers what they practiced, but also feels comforted and reassured by their parent's voice.
Combining both a voice recording smoke detector with a well-practiced plan gives parents and children the best chance for a safe escape.

The #1 tip to keep kids safe from home fires is…
Teach children fire safety and prevention. Discuss the downside to playing with matches and lighters. Then discuss what to do when there is a fire such as calling 911, knowing how to escape, stop drop and roll if on fire, get out and stay out.
Teach children about candles and a hot stove. Have home fire drills and designate a meeting place somewhere away from the home. Teach children the location of smoke alarms and what they sound like when alarmed and what to do if they hear the alarm going off.

Children under 5 are at higher risk for death in fires, which is why it is crucial to talk to them about fire safety in the home. My top tips are to…
- Have a working smoke detector on each floor of the home. The National Fire Protection Association and the International Association of Fire Chiefs recommend changing the battery each time that the time changes (which is coming up.) Even detectors that are connected to the home's wiring have battery back-ups that have to be replaced occasionally.
- Replace smoke alarms that are 10 years old and older. Even if you think it still works, it may give a delayed sound.
- Have an escape plan and rehearse it. Children fall back on the familiar when confronted by danger. Those in homes that have rehearsed escape plans tend to use the escape plan. Those without a plan may attempt to hide from the danger instead of escape.
- In devising an escape plan, try to plan for two ways out of every room that are easy to use. This includes making sure windows are not painted shut and having an escape ladder for upper-story rooms.
- Make "fall and crawl" a part of the escape routine so children understand that temperatures and air quality are more survivable lower to the ground.
- Decide on a safe meeting place after escaping the home. This might be a neighbor's house where you can call 9-1-1.

My three children all attended a parent participation nursery school where we learned critical information from our local firefighters….
Parents MUST practice having the smoke alarm go off in the middle of the night when all of the children are sleeping to see who, if anyone wakes up. Parents assume that their children will wake up and are completely horrified to watch video of children of all ages sleeping right through the alarm!
My tip: PRACTICE by setting off your smoke alarm at 1 o'clock in the morning when all your kids are sleeping and see what happens. Have you adequately trained them to leave the room together, stay low, touch the door to see if it's hot, get out of the house together and assemble somewhere safely? If your kids wake up on their own, great! If they don't wake up at all with the alarm going off, then you will know and you'll have to formulate some kind of plan so you can ALL safely escape the house.
I will add that I also have a child who is blind and does not hear well. We have therefore trained her siblings to make sure they all get out together – a good tip for any families with multiple children. We've practiced the drill in the middle of the night twice already and they rocked it completely the second time.
Jess Hand
Jess Hand volunteer is a franchise owner and President at ServiceMaster To The Rescue, the leader in fire rescue and recovery. He also serves as Assistant Chief Firefighter at the Dorothy Volunteer Fire Company in Atlantic County, NJ.
In my experience as a volunteer firefighter for over 30 years and 11 years as the owner of ServiceMaster in Vineland, New Jersey, the most important fire safety tip for kids is…
To regularly practice fire drills at home.
Most fires occur at home in the middle of the night, and most families never talk about an escape plan or route. Parents also fail to discuss or designate a meeting place outside the home, if a fire does occur. Children practice fire drills every month at school and most fire departments visit schools to present a fire prevention program, but we rarely, if ever have fires in school buildings. House fires are most common and having a plan in place is imperative.

In cooperation with a federation of state associations, ESA provides government advocacy and delivers timely information, professional development tools, products and services that members use to grow and prosper their businesses.
My #1 tip to keep children safe from home fires is…
First and foremost, parents should invest in central station monitored smoke detectors that will summon the fire department if fire occurs within a home, and regularly test the detectors to ensure they are in working order.
Families should also talk about and practice fire escape routes. Map out and draw a plan that includes at least two exits from each room of your house. Make sure everyone in your family knows where the designated exits are and practice, practice, practice. Decide on a family meeting place for everyone to go to after escaping from a fire. An ideal location is one that is away from danger such as a trusted neighbor's house across the street.
Samantha Boles
Samantha Boles is the President and COO of Automated Security IS, a full service commercial & residential security company based in Houston, TX, offering many ways to improve security efficiencies and reduce costs.
The #1 tip I have for keeping kids safe from home fires is…
"Plan for the best but prepare for the worst".
Regardless of all the steps you take to prevent a fire, such as no matches, unplugging appliances, etc.; the reality is an accidental fire is still always a possibility as there is no way to 100% prevent it.
Children are just that, children. They usually do not have the reasoning skills or maturity to think fast in an emergency situation. They usually look to the adult for what to do and will be in panic mode.
So the best thing to do is have an emergency plan that they understand and become familiar with so they are prepared to handle an emergency fire situation in the event one happens.
Depending on the child's age, different planning skills will be appropriate. For example, a 5 year old may need to be walked through the plan on a monthly basis and may need a children's book or cartoon to help explain what smoke is, or what signs to look for. Whereas a high school student may just need I be told the plan once.
Your local fire department usually has free helpful tips & brochures on fire preparedness and prevention.

sustained burns, but it was the preplanned escape plan that saved their lives. Learn more about Justina at www.JustinaPage.com.
The #1 tip I have for keeping kids safe from home fires is…
When children are old enough to follow directions, implement a fire safety plan.
Teach them how to get of the house quickly and safely and designate a meeting point. Encourage them to help younger siblings or other children and to be as calm as they can if a fire happens.

He has been managing High's for 22 years, and has been helping prevent fires for over 30 years.
When it comes to keeping children safe from home fires, there are several important things to do. You must have a fire extinguisher and enough smoke and carbon monoxide detectors ― and you need to make sure they work. You need to make sure your electrical, fireplace, and heating appliances work. You need to use common sense ― especially in the kitchen, with cigarettes, and with combustibles. But the number 1 thing you can do to keep kids safe from home fires is to…
Teach them.
Teach them to respect fire and drill them in matters concerning safety. Don't assume that because you don't do unsafe things, your kids will know not to do them.
Teach them how fire starts and what is flammable. Teach them what not to do ― like playing with fire, putting foil in the microwave, trying to cook, or leaving flammables near the fireplace, etc.
Prepare them to handle a dangerous situation. Make sure they know when to alert you of something. Make sure they will call 911 if they need to.
And make sure they really understand. When you take a fire precaution; show them. They need the connection between a safe practice and understanding that it is a safe practice.
And keep at it. Drill them until you know they know what to do, what not-to-do, and why.

When it comes to keeping kids safe from home fires, one tip is…
To teach your children not play with the dryer or to keep the dryer on unattended.
Some young people do the laundry and set it to dryer, then leave the house. This is extremely dangerous considering there are statistics regarding dryer fires which are staggering.
Preet Anand
Preet Anand is the CEO of BlueLight, a technology company focused on improving personal safety and 911.
Simply put, I think the most important tip for keeping children safe from home fires is…
Educating kids about the smoke alarm and how to respond to it.
They should know what a smoke alarm sounds like, how they should best exit the room / building, and where to go. Each of these steps are critically important.
Another great thing that could benefit parents is to actually show the kids how to change the battery of the smoke alarm. It will give them appreciation of how it works and make them more familiar of its purpose.
Julie Protesto Freels
Judie Protesto Freels is the Co-Owner and President of 911 C.A.S.P.E.R. Systems, which is an acronym for Community Awareness and Stimulus Plan for Emergency Readiness. 911 C.A.S.P.E.R. Systems' business was created for the Patent Pending System called. C.A.S.P.E.R., which is a unique program that was put together due to all of the needs that the founders personally had been seeing within the 911 Community, and with the struggling small businesses of America.
My #1 most important tip you can share to keep kids safe from home fires is…
Don't think it can't happen to you – practice your emergency escape plan and know your emergency location outside your home with your family. And check your smoke detectors at least twice a year.
Our Home burnt down to the ground in 1999, and at the time our 5 children were very young – 5th Grade, 4th Grade, 3rd Grade, Kindergarten and 18 months. We had just moved from Pennsylvania to Virginia. Needless to say we were not prepared at all for a fire and thankfully no one was home at the time.
So as you can imagine, fire safety became extremely important to us from that point on to help keep our children safe. My husband joined the local fire department and rescue squad – our two sons joined when they were old enough.
We lost everything – but nothing of importance since everyone was safe.
To keep this short, we ended up turning lemons into lemonade. After our experience of being involved with the fire department and rescue squad, we saw the constant stress and struggle for them to keep donations and funding come into them to stay equipped, trained properly, and have the necessary resources to get to the scene of the emergency at hand.
Due to that we started a new aspect of our business called: 911 C.A.S.P.E.R. Systems. If you go to our Home Page and click on King Kong you can watch a video that explains our Mission with helping these Non-Profit Organizations AND it helps Communities stay safer as well with alerts and warning through FEMA's IPAWS and our CASPER Alerts Feature.

She also contributes to the Foremost Promotions blog, where she offers readers valuable tips, free printables, and additional information on current events related to public safety.
I feel that the most important tip to keep kids safe from a home fire is…
For children to NEVER hide from a firefighter if they see one coming to get them.
Often, children are frightened of firefighters dressed in full gear with a breathing apparatus, and they will hide because they only see a large, scary figure making scary loud noises.
This is dangerous, because it makes it even more difficult for the firefighter to locate the child in a dark smoky house, which means the child is exposed to harmful smoke for a longer period of time. The best way to prevent children from wanting to hide is to introduce them to a firefighter while they are fully dressed in their gear, and explain to them that they are there to help them, not harm them.
Make sure that children are familiar with the sounds that the breathing apparatus makes, and explain to them how the parts of the gear keep the firefighter safe, such as their helmet, oxygen tank, and face shield. Children should also be told that when a firefighter calls out to them, they should respond loudly to let them know where they can be easily found.

I want to write my blog post, but something stops me.
Thoughts like…
"You are not good enough, may be readers won't like it, the information you are sharing is nothing new and on and on.."
Today I decided to do an honest check with my OWN self, to find out "WHY" I started my blog. My head is coming up with several reasons. But I have given myself a time duration of only 20 minutes to write this post.
Why 20 minutes?
My confession to you… Yesterday I spent several hours trying figure out ideas for writing blog posts, and never began writing. Time is a source of power. By spending hours researching and NOT writing my Blog post two things have happened
1. I went AWAY from my Goal of writing my Blog Post.
2. By spending too much time figuring out and NOT beginning at all, I have WEAKENED my power to write.
Hence I committed to create this post, and complete within 20 minutes.
"Coming back to the question, Why I started my Blog?"
There are ONLY three reasons.
1. To help entrepreneurs and Home based business owners with valuable information that I gather, find interesting and use in my business.
2. To Invite and encourage interested readers of this blog to sign up for my FREE Ezine.
3. To Offer our/affiliate products and services.
"Now that my WHY is clear, I will bear this in mind to improve my "Writing Muscle""
While searching for ideas, I bumped into this article "How to Know When to Start Your Own Business (Infographic)"
I encourage you to read it. I can relate to this article and in this article there were two questions.
1. Where were you in your life when you started a business?
My Answer: I started my business, when my employer downsized.
2. Were you afraid? And if so, what did you do to confront that fear?
Yes I was afraid, but the hunger to create consistent income by using my skills and knowledge, exceeded my fear.
An entrepreneur is faced with fear every day. Investing in Personal development and self growth alone will help conquer such fears.
1. Read the article mentioned above and try to answer the two questions.
2. Do you get stuck when it comes to writing your blog post? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.

SYDNEY, NS -- Over 60 knitters were at the McConnell Library in Sydney on Saturday to do an activity they love for a good cause.
The 11th KnitFit Knit-a-thon is a fundraising charitable event where knitters and crocheters donated their time and talent to help Cape Breton families and support children's literacy programs at the library.
The event not only raises money and helps many organizations in Cape Breton, it's also a great place for people who enjoy knitting to socialize.
"This is just wonderful – everyone gets along and we have a good time and we're doing something good for other people and helping and long may it last," said Jill Harcourt, who is originally from London and currently lives in Marion Bridge. Harcourt added that the annual session is also a perfect place to learn the tricks of the trade.
"We do pass on different ways of knitting and different patterns and things like that. There's an exchange of thoughts and ideas and things. This is fantastic – it justifies me enjoying myself."
Mary Lou Blundon, who has been to 4 previous Knit-a-thons at the Library, echoed Harcourt's statement and said she enjoys the hobby and helping others.
"It's magnificent to see so many people dedicate themselves to helping people that are not as fortunate as ourselves. I really do also enjoy the social aspect of it all. We enjoy being together and passing around patterns and stuff like that," said Blundon.
The event as steadily increased since its inception, in its first year there were roughly 10 knitters, and donated 250 items. Last year, about 60 people participated and there were just over 12,50 items. In the last 10 years the event has raid over $13,000 to support children's literacy programs at the library and local charities.
Christine Thomson, a coordinator of work programs and events for the McConnell Library said, the knit-a-thon's profits has also been a great help for the Library and children's programs.
"We averaged $1,300 a year and when we have done anywhere from $900 to $2,000 a year, which is a major difference for our budget because our budget is around that area. It's a major portion of the budget for our children's programs," said Thomson.
Before Christmas 2017, over 450 knitted/crocheted items already collected were donated to charities that provide free clothes to families in need in Cape Breton and Victoria Counties, including the Salvation Army "Clothe-a-Family Campaign", the Every Woman's Centre (Adopt-a-Family), Transition House, the Cape Breton Regional Hospital Neonatal and Mother & Baby units, Loaves and Fishes, the Men's Homeless Shelter, and the Access 808 Youth Resource Centre in Sydney.
Thomson said by the end of March, the Library will be donating another large some of items to local charities.
"We should be on the same pace of donations as last year. This year we donated 450 items and by the end of the year last year it was about 750, but I think we have more coming in now than we did last March, so if we get between 1,000 and 12,00, that's a really good number of items donated."
The event was held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and had a variety of bonuses for those who participated like a free lunch that was donated by local grocery stores and door prizes that were donated by local businesses.
There are also knitting groups in libraries across the CBRM that are held regularly for anyone who wants to learn or share their knitting talents with like-minded people. For more information visit www.cbrl.ca.

Have you ever heard of things coming in threes? I received three resounding "yes" votes from the universe in the last three days and I am euphoric. I'm feeling grateful for these amazing affirmations tonight, and excited about this summer's soul quest. I have also been thinking a lot lately about resurrecting my old blog, so I thought I would dust it off tonight and share some of my musings....with a little bit of trepidation and vulnerability... but also trusting that this is a good time to share.
I've been doing a lot of reading, re-reading and research lately. Doreen Virtue, Brian Weiss, James Redfield, Eckhart Tolle, Rumi, Cheryl Strayed, Elizabeth Gilbert. Have you read Big Magic? Just in case you haven't, here are some of my favorite Liz quotes. (When I say Liz I picture Ketut from "Eat, Pray, Love" saying "Leez. Leez, Leez, you came back!")
I am drawn over and over again to the idea of synchronicity, symbiosis, connections, cyclical-ness (did I just make that up?!) moving forward, and using art in healing ways. Healing to make whole. By whole I mean mind, body, spirit. All three. And three is a very powerful number. It can represent many concepts- and these concepts can be best expressed in a triskel.
Last week we were SO very honored to be asked by the Onslow Women's Center to provide a class for some of the women and children in their care. Kaylee and I worked with a woman and her three children to provide a safe, healing art experience for them, sharing some ideas of things to do in the journals we gave them. Kaylee so ably worked with the three lovely children (one on her lap!) to keep them busy and interested in their artwork. I won't go into details but let me just say that the children's mother has a heartbreaking story. I didn't ask questions or pry, but she voluntarily opened up to me and told me some of her story as we sat and created with the soft music playing in the background. At one point she wearily exclaimed that she just wanted to gain back her voice. I gently offered that she may have just come up with the 'title' of her journal. She loved that idea. She not only titled her journal but she proudly placed a proclamation on the back cover of her book: "Only the brave rise up and experience new beginnings."
I've been doing a lot of reading, re-reading and research lately. Doreen Virtue, Brian Weiss, James Redfield, Eckhart Tolle, Rumi, Cheryl Strayed, Elizabeth Gilbert. Have you read Big Magic? Just in case you haven't, here are some of my favorite Liz quotes. (When I say Liz I picture Ketut from "Eat, Pray, Love" saying "Leez. Leez, Leez, you came back!")
"The universe buries strange jewels deep within us all, and then stands back to see if we can find them."
"Because the truth is, I believe that creativity is a force of enchantment—not entirely human in its origins."
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear

(More magical quotes from Big Magic? Of course- coming right up! Click here!)
I am drawn over and over again to the idea of synchronicity, symbiosis, connections, cyclical-ness (did I just make that up?!) moving forward, and using art in healing ways. Healing to make whole. By whole I mean mind, body, spirit. All three. And three is a very powerful number. It can represent many concepts- and these concepts can be best expressed in a triskel.
I got my tattoo (yep, that's it above on my wrist) after a very scary time in my life. I'd had a large parotid (salivary gland) tumor removed in a 5 hour surgery, and of course I was one of those 1% or so that had some horrible complications. My cheek swelled up with fluid and my poor daughter had to drive me back and forth to Chapel Hill to have it drained every week with a big honking needle. That summer I was very afraid. Some of the readings I embarked upon truly fed my soul and I eagerly read more, becoming more and more comforted by what I read. I got my triskel tattooed later that fall. My triskel symbolizes:
1. the idea of always moving in forward motion (in terms of progress, spiritual growth, etc) while remaining bound to the cyclical nature of the ways of nature and spirit. Being at one with the spirit.
2. oneness with the many other symbolic meanings within the power of three such as: the unity of Mind, Body, Spirit..... Power, Intellect, Love ......Mother, Father, Child.....Past, Present, Future......Creation, Preservation, Destruction. 3 months + 3 months + 3 months = 9 months = 1 child. Three ages of the female path- young girl, woman, crone. Birth, Death, Rebirth.
Many of you also know of my fascination with spirals.
"The spiral is the natural form of growth, and has become, in every culture and in every age, man's symbol of the progress of the soul towards eternal life.As the inward-winding labyrinth, it constitutes the hero's journey to the still center where the secret of life is found. As the spherical vortex, spiraling through its own center, it combines the inward and outward directions of movement."
From "The Mystic Spiral" Jill Purce (Click here)
The symbols and meanings above are just a few of the attributes of the triskel and spirals that fascinate me.
We see all of these themes repeat themselves in the history of art, which is basically the history of humanity. We seek to understand many of these themes and stories and artistic visions; many are stories and myths that have been handed down to us over the centuries. Much of the unexplained art that mankind has left behind, however, is wide open to interpretation- such as the spirals carved into the ancient, older-than-the-pyramids stones at Newgrange in Ireland which I visited last summer. I will write about that trip another time!
So. All of that was basically to say I believe in signs and symbols and prayer and synchronicity. You know; our living, breathing, magical universe. I felt called to open Artworks a few years ago. It has been a struggle- financially, physically, mentally. I have come close to closing several times- sometimes because I was exhausted and needed a break, other times because of other reasons. It has also been a huge joy and source of amazing art-making times, laughter, creativity and growth. The studio has been blessed to have some amazing people come through and spend time working there or donating of their time and services. The current creative forces of Anna, Raquel and Kaylee are making some fantabulous things happen! Still, though, I can't help but worry about money, and things not happening as fast as I would like, and energy.......and I have prayed a lot for guidance as to what path I should take.
I have been studying art therapy and am currently taking an online course. I am playing with the idea of getting another Master's degree or applying to become a "REACE" which stands for "Registered Expressive Arts Consultant/Educator." I love watching people's faces as they realize how therapeutic and cathartic art can be- in particular while becoming very absorbed and "in the zone" while working in a visual art journal.
Here's the thing. We really didn't do much- the angels at the Onslow Women's Center do such important work each and every single day. Whatever this poor lady got out of our art time is nothing compared to how Kaylee and I felt after Friday morning. We both felt so honored and touched to have been able to provide that art experience for this family. It was validation to me that "YES!- this is a great direction to be going in, Sara!"
There was more to come. Saturday three lovely women came into the studio, and we had a really lovely chat. Today I received this message from one of them: "I just wanted to thank you for spending time with my mom, friend and I yesterday. We are looking forward to spending time in your shop. Thank you also for inspiring me to step out of my box and expand my creative juices."
AND THEN....... Today Raquel texted me that she found a beautiful note on the back patio. It read in part:
"It is truly a blessing to know someone who has answered the call to better the world. What y'all are doing for the community and its' people is truly profound and an act of selflessness. It does not go unnoticed.... we will do whatever it takes to help make the dream come true." (Thank you to the special people who left it there. Super big hugs coming soon. That was SO needed.)
So there you have it. Three very special, rewarding affirmations/messages to let me/us know that even though this is one of the hardest things I have ever done this studio needs to keep growing and needs to keep helping, and creating, and providing solace, spirit, and sanctuary along with art classes and downtown artsy community and creative flow. Figuring out exactly how to do this is the soul quest.

When the campus of Tougaloo College was fired on by KKK-type racial night-riders, my home was shot up and a bullet missed my infant daughter by inches. We received no help from the Justice Department and we guarded our campus — faculty and students together — on that and subsequent occasions. We let this be known. The racist attacks slackened considerably. Night-riders are cowardly people — in any time and place — and they take advantage of fear and weakness.I met a former 1960s era activist, he said they were crazy and they had to be. Well I think I understand the times they lived in. A gun may have helped when you know that there were people who were out to get you!
Later, I worked for years in the Deep South as a full-time civil rights organizer. Like a martyred friend of mine, NAACP staffer Medgar W. Evers, I, too, was on many Klan death lists and I, too, traveled armed: a .38 special Smith and Wesson revolver and a 44/40 Winchester carbine.
The knowledge that I had these weapons and was willing to use them kept enemies at bay. Years later, in a changed Mississippi, this was confirmed by a former prominent leader of the White Knights of the KKK when we had an interesting dinner together at Jackson.

We didn't know there was such a thing as a National Taxpayer Advocate, but apparently her name is Nina E. Olson, and she has reported to Congress that the IRS has some customer service issues that should be corrected.
That excited us, because our number one issue is that they take too much from us, and we would be more satisfied as customers if they would take less. But this concern is not addressed in Olson's report.
Mostly what she wants is better service for us so we will be better prepared, logistically and psychologically, to deliver "voluntary compliance" with the IRS. The first item in her list of "Most Serious Problems Encountered by Taxpayers" is… "IRS Toll-Free Telephone Service Is Declining."
IRS's goal for 2010 is to answer 71.2 percent of taxpayer phone enquiries. That's about the rate of response when Congress overhauled IRS in 1998, and Olson says it's not good enough, and wants a staff-up and dedicated lines for special problems.
Also, the IRS isn't taking enough account of delinquent taxpayers' unsecured debts, such as "credit cards, school loans, or medical and hospital bills," when they attach "one-size-fits all" liens and figure payment plans, and thus "appears to undermine taxpayers' efforts to become compliant." She prescribes a more "holistic approach" that "makes a difference in a taxpayer's compliance behavior over time."
Olson acknowledges that "Federal Tax Liens Wreak Havoc on Low Income Taxpayers' Financial Future" and seeks a "low income taxpayer strategy" to get them better served. She also seeks better service for overseas filers, who may not be, as we have long suspected, willfully attempting to evade paying taxes from their offshore havens, but simply suffering from "Lack of Awareness of Return Filing Obligations" because they are deprived of "efficient and accessible taxpayer service."
Oh, there's a shout out to New York, too: Olson reports that after a recent undercover investigation of tax preparers, the state tax commissioner found fraud in about 40 percent of their visits and "an epidemic of unethical and criminal behavior." Nationwide, Olson wants better vetting, training, and oversight of preparers.
Olson also pleads for a simpler tax code, bless her, and a revamp of the appeals process for contesting taxpayers, better e-services, more face-to-face as opposed to correspondence audits, etc.
Olson knows who she's talking to, and makes clear at every opportunity that better customer service means taxpayers pay more. For example, she says that because of customer service shortfalls, "in 2007 and 2008, the IRS had 'lost' about $32 billion in collection revenue." Those are the parts of the report we expect the legislators have highlighted, and maybe that'll get her recommendations approved. So — if in April you're able to get through to the IRS help-line (or if in August they aren't liening you so hard you can't pay the gas bill), thank Nina Olson.

I can't help but shake off the feeling that I did something extremely bad.
I'm not a criminal (thankfully) so I'm not all too used to the feeling of hurting someone. By hurting someone, what I mean is that I feel that I've betrayed them. I've disappointed them. I've let them down.
To whoever is reading this wonderful blog, you may have read the previous post, the confrontation. In that scenario, I had to get out and move on to another office (career wise) to grow and become more developed, but because I was the spearhead leader and manager in that office, and I've only stayed there for 6 months instead of a year, my other colleagues felt hurt from my move.
And it wasn't even necessarily the contract that mattered, but it was because I wanted to lead that office but now that an undeniable opportunity presented in another area, I knew I had to make a decision: to stay in my current position and office and become a slave – run everything, become admin, secretary, planner, speaker, presentor and trainer or move to a bigger arena and have those other tasks delegated and become a student again myself.
The decision was clear to me. I had to move to the bigger arena. It is the only way for me to keep my sanity and prevent myself from being burnt-out.
I know the mistake lies on our team. We shouldn't have volunteered to become the spearhead leaders in my current office without fully knowing the consequences. We should've listened to our higher leaders and our mentors but pride got in our way.
The school of hard knocks really hurt. And because we've done this rather dick move to my current colleagues, my team and I are fully prepared to have others do this to us too. But as I reflected on this event again and again, I have been thinking about helping others grow in their respective businesses for four years now. Admittedly, I have forgotten to help and even feed myself. For far too long, I've sacrificed my own personal growth so others can grow but now I've paid the price.
I'm not being selfish – I just want to survive. I want to help myself first so I can properly help others next time.
It's time to really take this thing seriously and really put our determination and will to work. This sacrifice and bold move my team has made… we have to make something happen. This hurt has got to be worth something big. Growing pains: it's all part of life and growth for us to change for the better.
There's no more playing games. It's game time. Battle time.

A Golden Retriever was first shown in England in 1908. The first Golden was registered in the U.S. in 1925.
The Golden Retriever is known to be obedient, loyal, and eager to please. Although they are large dogs and need plenty of space and exercise, they make wonderful pets. Easily trained and hard working, they are used, not only as hunitng dogs, but in many other occupations including as guide or assistance dogs for the physically, visually or hearing impaired and as drug sniffing dogs in law enforcement.
After the AKC introduced their Obedience Champion title in 1977, the first three winners of the title were Golden Retrievers.

The Suicide Room is a highlight of the diverse Ekran Toronto Polish Film Fest.
EKRAN TORONTO POLISH FILM FESTIVAL from tonight (Thursday, October 25) to Sunday (October 28) at Innis Town Hall, the Revue and the Runnymede Library. ekran.ca. See listings. Rating: NNNN
Other than the odd TIFF premiere or Oscar nominee for best foreign-language film, the only hope Torontonians have of seeing Polish movies is the Ekran Polish Film Festival.
The diverse program includes both mainstream commercial features and more challenging cinema, and one title that falls in between the two. That's Jan Komasa's The Suicide Room (Friday, October 26), about a teenager (Jakub Gierszal) who's either drawn or lured into the eponymous virtual community. The teen dramatics are jazzed up with CG sequences of avatars in cyberspace; it's awkward, but it works.
Anna Plutecka-Mesjasz's commercial biopic Lose To Win (Sunday, October 28), about volleyball star Agata Mróz-Olszewska, who chose to put potentially life-saving treatment for a bone-marrow disease on hold in order to bring her unborn child to term, is a martyrdom story. But star Olga Boladz doesn't play into the clichés, giving the movie a weight it might not otherwise have achieved.
Tomasz Wasilewski's In The Bedroom (also October 28) stars Katarzyna Herman as a 40-ish woman trying to lose herself in a series of pseudonymous encounters. Compact and pointed, it's exactly the sort of slender mood piece that could rate a limited run somewhere in town.
The fest closes with The Fourth Dimension (October 28), a curio from Vice magazine and Grolsch Film Works composed of three unrelated shorts from the U.S., Russia and Poland. Jan Kwiecinski's Fawns, about four young people farting around in an evacuated town, is the Polish entry, but the real draw is Harmony Korine's typically batshit American contribution, which casts Val Kilmer as a motivational speaker called Val Kilmer and gets odder from there.

If you ever wondered where the root of all evil originated...it was in my front yard the whole time.
We had to cut down a tree to make room for two apricot trees. I didn't want a stump left so Greg pulled it out of the ground with the tractor. As you can see by the picture, it didn't give up without a fight, pulling the tractor off its back tires.
With a little persuasion, we managed to pull it out, roots and all. Who's your daddy now, stump?
We've pulled bigger stumps, but we used a bigger tractor for those. I always hate taking out trees, but sometimes they have to go.
Winners!Madeleine Maddocks won a copy of Apocalypse Rising from ParaJunkee's View.
Cate Masters won a copy of Apocalypse Rising from The Galaxy Express.
Note: We lost the comments at The Galaxy Express blog, but we found them even if they couldn't be physically restored.
Thanks, everyone for visiting me!
One final note: I am taking a blog hiatus for a couple of weeks while I entertain company and hunker down for a writing marathon. I will likely be more visible on Facebook and Twitter while the blog is down, so follow me there if your curiosity gets the better of you. And of course, I'll be seeing you guys at your hot spots too.
So what's new in your part of the world? Who's read something they can recommend? I plan to do a lot of reading now that the tour is over. :-)

Time Out's 101 Films of the Decade â Part 2, with reactions from Peter Jackson, David Fincher, Guillermo del Toro and moreâ¦
In part two we slash and stab with David Fincher, smash and grab with Fatih Akin, and run like hell with Werner Herzog.
90. The Death of Mr Lazarescu (2005, Rom)Directed by Cristi Puiu A compassionate tale of life on society's fringesPlayed out more or less in real-time, this marvellous second feature chronicles the last few hours in the life of a sixtysomething man (Ion Fiscuteanu) who lives alone, with his cats and his super-strong booze, in a Bucharest flat. It begins with him complaining of a headache and nausea; his neighbours call an ambulance, which eventually arrives and takes him to a succession of hospitals all preoccuppied in dealing with the carnage of a car pile-up. Besides proffering a perfectly plausible portrait of the Romanian health services, Puiu also moves beyond social concerns with an account of life's fragility and vulnerability that is subtly and persuasively philosophical. The performances are excellent throughout, the dialogue and mise-en-scene frighteningly true to life (and its gradual, inevitable departure) – albeit imbued, at the same time, with wit, warmth and great compassion for all involved in the story. GARead the Time Out review
89. Head-On (2003, Ger)Directed by Fatih AkinA nerve-jangling tale of booze-soaked mid-life rebellion With 'Head-On', German-Turkish director Fatih Akin announced himself as the filmmaker of choice for those liquored-up souls with a kamikaze attitude to existence. This throbbing, Germany-set tale of an amour fou between a soused, 40-something roustabout (Birol Ünel) and a prim younger woman looking to rebel against her strict religious parents (Sibel Kekilli) is fast lane filmmaking where every moment throbs with a coiled sexual passion that could any moment spill over into violence. The fact that one of the leads graphically slashes her wrists with a broken beer bottle within minutes of the film starting should give you some idea of Akin's intentions: to use everything in his arsenal to rattle your brain. DJRead the Time Out review
88. Grizzly Man (2005, US)Directed by Werner HerzogTeddy bears picnic turns ugly for one enthused eco-warriorThis decade's entrenchment of documentary features as part of mainstream cinema-going has been a boon for Werner Herzog, whose interest in monomaniacal struggles against the universe has never been limited to fictional characters. This extraordinary example uses footage taken by Timothy Treadwell, self-appointed champion of and eventual square meal for Alaska's grizzly bear community. BW
Read the Time Out review
87. You Can Count on Me (2000, US)Directed by Kenneth LonerganLonergan and Linney put the fun in dysfunctionalAs the decade dawned, Kenneth Lonergan seemed like the future of cinema: his scripts for 'Gangs of New York' and 'Analyze This' had attracted big names and even bigger budgets, his stage play 'This Is Our Youth' was inspiring glowing reviews, and his filmmaking debut seemed to have the Original Screenplay Oscar in the bag. Taking the conventions of the US indie-comedy-drama (family strife, small towns, acoustic score) and creating something wonderfully witty, heartfelt and insightful, 'You Can Count on Me' deserved to make a bigger splash. It wasn't to be: the film had its fans, but few of them sat on the Academy jury, and Lonergan retreated from the scene: his long-awaited follow up 'Margaret' is set for release next year. THRead the Time Out review
86. I'm Not There (2007, US)Directed by Todd HaynesKeep a good head and always carry a lightbulbAs much about the music as the man, as much about the legend as the truth, Todd Haynes's captivating, kaleidoscopic take on the lives, loves and lyrics of Bob Dylan stands as one of the decade's few genuine originals. Like its irascible subject, 'I'm Not There' has its share of flaws, and you'd need a degree in Dylanology to get every one of Haynes's myriad references, but this is an entrancing, poetic and furiously intelligent film, both in its attitude towards and depiction of the creative process, and in its carefree manipulation of both audience expectations and the narrative form. TH Todd Haynes on 'I'm Not There': 'There was no possible way of doing it without Dylan's songs, and I wouldn't even have tried. The film has a spirit that I feel Dylan would appreciate. It's not over-reverent and over-worshipful and laden with that whole… Dylan thing.'Read the Time Out review
85. All or Nothing (2002, GB)Directed by Mike Leigh More secrets and lies with Leigh's loveable losers
Mike Leigh said that his previous film, 'Topsy-Turvy' (1999), was a last chance to look back nostalgically over his shoulder before entering the gleaming new century, and with 'All or Nothing' the British writer-director fulfilled his implicit promise to deal with the here and now of contemporary life. There's no escaping that this portrait of several lives on and around a south London council estate (and filmed on one such disused estate) is, for much of its running time, a bleak affair. Cabbie Timothy Spall and his supermarket worker wife Lesley Manville can barely make ends meet, while the love seems to have disappeared entirely from their marriage. Their children are overweight, and the neighbours also have their own problems (alcohol, low self-esteem, violence)… But out of all this gloom emerges the most heartbreaking, rewarding glimmer of hope: a suggestion that lost love can be rediscovered, families can come back together and life can be, well, alright if you try just a little bit harder. Critics like to call Leigh 'miserablist'. I don't think so. DCRead the Time Out review
Mike Leigh on 'All or Nothing': 'I think "All or Nothing" is one of the most sophisticated films I've ever made. It's one of the hardest for me to talk about because it comes from feelings, no a starting "idea". It is about love, although I'd contend that all my films in one way or another have been about love. It's also about loneliness, how we lose track of our feelings.'
84. Zodiac (2007, US)Directed by David FincherThere's a killer on the road...Cinema is rarely as clean and clinical as this: Fincher's scalpel-sharp take on the spate of unsolved killings which shocked '70s San Francisco is a work of near-Kubrickian precision, from its flawlessly detailed set decor and bold, unflagging script to some wonderfully understated and selfless central performances. This is filmmaking with zero frills, as focused and relentless as its absentee title character, and almost as terrifying: the scene with Ione Skye driving alone at night ranks as one of the decade's most disturbing. TH
David Fincher on the Zodiac case: 'I won't say that the case was botched, because I think the people who worked on it deserve better. But it's tragic that it turned out the way it did. I don't think we'll ever know the answers. This may be my particular perversity, but for me, those stories are the most interesting.'

83. Werckmeister Harmonies (2000, Hungary)Directed by Béla TarrWhat arthouse cinemas were built forBéla Tarr's 'Werckmeister Harmonies' was something of a miniature arthouse hit when it was released in UK cinemas, but only those who've seen the film will be able to fathom what a victory that was for quality European auteur cinema. Filmed – as is customary for Tarr – in severe monochrome and edited at, shall we say, an 'unhurried' pace, like his masterpiece 'Satantango', the film offered a hellish vision of societal breakdown, as a young drifter (Lars Rudolph) navigates his way through a desolate Hungarian township whose populace have been captivated by a large freight container, inside which is a stuffed whale carcass. To describe Tarr's cinema as a mixture of Tarkovskian spiritualist metaphor and Gilliam-esque grotesquery would be reductive (and, in some minds, plain wrong), as there's a unique otherness to his work that deifies easy categorisation. While this is the dictionary definition of 'a tough watch', if you're not instantly mesmerised by the opening shot, where pub full of grubby drunks (another Tarr staple) are made to act out the planetary movements of the solar system, then we'd suggest you head back to your 'Happy Gilmore' DVD. DJRead the Time Out review
82. Time Out (2001, Fr)Directed by Laurent CantetHey, Laurent! Great title!He may have nabbed the Palme d'Or for 'The Class' in 2008, but Cantet had already proven his mastery seven years earlier with this painfully sad tale of a working family man who secretly decides to take leave of his daily routine and sit in his car doing nothing at all. Blessed with a fine central performance from Aurélien Recoing, the film traces how cracks in his bizarre charade begin to form, but Cantet's interest goes far deeper, viewing the notion of work as one of a number of psychological traumas we unknowingly suffer day-to-day. DJ Read the Time Out review
81. The Barbarian Invasions (2003, Can)Directed by Denys ArcandPhilosophical Canadian melodrama? Yes please!In 1986's 'The Decline of the American Empire', Quebec director Arcand's brilliant sweet-sour commentary on every cliché from philosophical Francophone discussion to the male sex drive was Oscar-nominated; with this belated sequel, he finally collected. Rémy, the sex-mad professor whose deceits made the first film so pungently entertaining, is dying – and as before, this is less an event in itself than an excuse for a great deal of marvelously sharp verbal interaction, as his old friends and family gather at the bedside. If this basic scenario brings to mind mawkish Hollywood weepies, forget it: this movie may well make you cry, but it's the dialogue, not the dying, that you'll remember.

Halo 3 Collector Edition ReviewReviewing: Bungie Collector Edition | Rating:
Alright boys and girls,
So yeah, I bought the famous Xbox 360 video game Halo 3 like 3 weeks ago.
It's made by Bungie (they made also Halo 1, Halo 2)
What to say ? First of all, i've been waiting for it for like 2 or 3 years ! I've played Halo 1 and 2 and loved them so much. I've saved money for 3 months for buy it, and I'm not disapointed at all ! Halo 3's content is simply awesome ! The history rocks, it directly follows the 2. You're the Spartan 117, you allied with the Arbiter (2nd Halo) and got to kill loads of Aliens (Covenants). Some people may find the solo mode too short. But it isn't really, for me it lasted like 10-15 hours in Normal difficulty (Easy-Normal-Heroic-Legendary). And even if it may look short to some people for a 65€ game, it isn't ! Graphics are simply awesome ! It's a pure next-gen game. Music is also very good and pleasant (like in all Halo hehe). And the big point of this game is ... The multiplayer mode ! On the Xbox Live you can play games with up to 16 players ! It's pure frag melee. You can also play the cooperative campaign online with 3 other mates. The solo mode also includes revolutionnary features : Items ! You can now catch a bubble shield, etc.
This adds a new dimension to the game. And I'm pretty sure this is by far one of the best game of the end year. This would also be a nice present for your friends at Christmas !

Some of our families have requested that we inform them of the school supplies that will be used in our classrooms this year. These are suggestions and should not be considered requirements. All of our students have access to supplies used in the classroom. However, some students prefer to have their own supplies instead of sharing with others. Parents also like to take advantage of summer sales and less crowded stores. In this spirit, we offer the following list of supplies:

Wyatt receiving his gear
Wyatt repelling
Wyatt after completing his training
Cooper has all the traits we look in for an Army Ranger
Sergeant 1st Class Jason St. John
Wyatt, 18 years old, was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia in 2013. Hoping to follow in his family's footsteps, Wyatt was crushed to discover that his hope to become an Army Ranger would not be realized in the near future. As Wyatt was no longer able to participate in strenuous physical tasks, such as mowing the lawn, he knew that the 75th Ranger Regiment's rigorous training would be too much for his body.
When his Wish Granters met with him for his initial wish visit, Wyatt immediately knew that his wish was to be an Army Ranger. In his letter to Make-A-Wish, Wyatt wrote: "Army Rangers are some of the toughest warriors our planet has to offer. Rangers are an elite breed…I would be greatly honored and happy to wear the famed Ranger Tab. Rangers can be anywhere in the world in 18 hours or less making them the quickest reaction force in the U.S."
After hearing about Wyatt's story, Major Tony Mayne from the 75th Ranger Regiment worked with Make-A-Wish and the Branson Fire Department to make Wyatt's wish come true. Staff Sergeant Nicholas Cunningham and Sergeant 1st Class Jason St. John traveled all the way from their base in Ft. Benning, Georgia to put together Wyatt's wish day.
After completing a series of challenges, Wyatt was promoted until he reached the top rank of Sergeant 1st Class. Sgt. 1st Class St. John said "Cooper has all the traits we look in for an Army Ranger…this event is in my personal top-three in my experiences." At the conclusion of his training, Wyatt received the Tan Beret and Scroll from the 75th Ranger Regiment. Wyatt said that his wish day "exceeded [his] expectations." "I can't put this feeling into words. But I know it is a good feeling." His grandmother, Rhonda Johnson, expressed her joy by stating "You can't slap the smile off my face."
Wyatt graduated from Branson High School in May and will be a freshman at the College of the Ozarks in the fall. He plans to major in criminal justice but still has his sights on the Army. Wyatt says, "If I'm ever healthy enough I want to try to get back into the Army."
I can't put this feeling into words. But I know it is a good feeling.

Hi troops.
Yesterday I hopped into the Hotel only to find that my good compadre, Dr Blood, had selected me for a Horror Blog Award. For which I am very grateful, may I add. Clearly my technique of mispelling, misqouting, and cursing like a pirate have paid off, as I always knew they would!
As this 'passing on of the baton' appears to be a time honored tradition within our awesome little community. I'd like to take the time now to pass it on to some others who richly deserve some praise, and who make my mornings and evening far more interesting with their thoughts, idea and insights into our genre. Now I'll adhere to the rules of this custom as they were passed to me by the good Doctor. So lets have at it.
Cheers, Brohiem. I'd like to thank Jack Ketchum, H.P Lovecraft, John Carpenter, Vincent Price, Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, Terrence Fisher, Brian Keene and the mighty Richard Laymon for this award. Couldnt have done it without you guys. Theres others but I aint got all day, and the band are beginning to play over my speech.
Dr Blood's Video Vault. Have at it.
- Last year, I read every single Richard Laymon novel, in order, back to back. And by the end of it all, I was a thoroughly fucked up individual. But it was great fun and I'll be doing it again soon.
- I once became a writer and Director in Theatre by mistake. And found myself living in Manchester, England for two years as a result. It was a great time, although some serious rehab was required in the aftermath.
- I'm going to be a Daddy in about one week. Its very hard as my girl, (and her Mother, obviously), are in America, and I won't see her for a while, but thankfully I'll be able to see her by using the net until things get better. Her name is Coral. Named for a mutual love of the ocean, shared by her Mummy and I. She's also named for Vincent Price's true love, Coral Browne, who became a U'S Citizen to share her life with him. He also killed her in THEATRE OF BLOOD, as you do.
This is pretty tricky, as some folks I wanna pass it onto, are already recieving it from elsewhere, (one of em gave it me. after all!), and the last thing they need is more work in their schedules. So Im gonna award it to a few deserving souls, and also give honerable mention to some sites I love, that have already recieved the award. Got it? Good.
And the Horror Blog Award goes to....
And the honorable mentions are:
Dr Blood's Video Vault (Link above)
The Uranium Cafe, (which seems to be down at the moment, sadly!)
http://www.realqueenofhorror.com/ Already has the award today, and quite rightly so!
And last but not least, http://www.thedevilseyes.com/. I couldn't award this one as that would be a bit rich, (they use my reviews after all. It'd be like sucking my own dick). But in truth, Stiles over there posts LOTS of interesting news articles. The mans a workhorse.
I'm working on it. Honestly!
