How to Make Candles in the CrockPot
Day 323.
Don't look now, but the gift-giving Holidays are just around the corner.
But it's okay, because you can make candles. Cheaply (or for free!) with your crockpot.
I love candles, especially inexpensive ones, and scented with food: vanilla, cookie dough, pumpkin pie, apple cinnamon, coffee, and gingerbread. I am the happiest after lighting a yummy-scented candle.
For a while, I was getting up at 4am, and drank coffee in the dark with a few lit candles before beginning the day. It was quite peaceful.
Because of this love, I have quite a few candles that don't light anymore, but the jar/glass container still has trapped wax.
Yesterday, I took the wax out of 9 of these candles, and made 3 new ones. Al Gore would be so proud of me.
I also used some soy wax that I got at Michael's to make 3 others. It was a fun project, and now that I know how, one I will do quite often.
The Ingredients. --old candles in glass containers
(or empty glass containers and wax suitable for candle-making from the craft store)
--3 inch wicks (this size works well for the tiny candles sold at the dollar store, the Glade candles, etc.)
--candle fragrance, essential oil, or cooking extract
--candle coloring dye (not food coloring, sigh.)
The Directions.
Freeze the jars with the leftover trapped candle wax. Use a steak knife to pop the wax out of the jar/glass container. If your container is tapered, you'll need to chop the wax up with the knife before it can fall out.
Cut away the old wick and discard. Chop the wax into small pieces--about 1/2 inch square or thereabouts.
Wash the containers well in soapy water and dry completely.
Fill each glass with the chopped up wax. I put the wick in, but you don't need to until the wax has melted. If you are going to use soy wax, or another store-bought wax, fill the glass container the same way.
Nestle the containers into your crockpot. I got 6 to fit nicely in a 6.5 quart oval.
Cover and cook on high for 2 hours, checking every 30 minutes.
When the wax is completely liquidy, add your color and scent. Food coloring doesn't work. I tried it. Mix with a wooden skewer, and lower in the wicks.
Unplug the crockpot. Let the candles sit in the cooling crockpot for about 4 hours, or until they have set enough to move.
Do not use for 12 hours.
Light and enjoy.
The Verdict.
I wish I could say that this was a fun project I did with the kids, but I'd be lying. One was at school, and the other was in the backyard. She poked her head in a few times but I shooed her back out. This was my art project. I'm looking forward to trying this again, and getting some of the different colors and scents they have at the craft store. The peppermint extract worked, but I think I'll use an essential oil next time for a more pronounced scent. I'm very pleased with the results--even the splotchy ones made with food coloring.
updated: anon just reminded me about crayons! I agree that they might work quite well to create a color. I learned from the crayons-in-the-crock experiment that Crayola melt the nicest.

Now you've piqued my interest! I think I'm going to try this. I have wanted to make candles for a really long time - and I love this idea because it also recycles!

- Jim and Heather on Meerkat said...
Great idea! I love your blog - check it all the time and have linked it on mine under "Fav Food Blogs" (so far I have two of you...)
Due to space, I only have one crockpot, but am in love with it and my bread machine.
- November 18, 2008 at 7:19 AM
I'll bet you have some old crayons around the house, and that they would add plenty of color to your candles.

What a creative use for the crockpot! I love how you categorized this post as "gluten-free." Haha :)
- November 18, 2008 at 7:41 AM
You could also throw the old candle jars in the microwave and melt them to get the last bits out. Then you would have a head start on the melting process! ;)

You never cease to amaze me. I started using my crockpot alot more because of your blog. Then my inlaws recently visited and of the 15 days they were here I used it 10 times. Now my MIL liked what I did so much, she went back to WA and bought a crockpot! I sent her your blog to get her started. Thank you for taking this year and getting so many of us interested in using the crockpot. YOU ROCK!

Wow, I didn't think to use a crockpot without a liquid. Great idea.

Wow! I've made candles on the stove before, but this sounds so much easier, esp. since you can walk away!

WOOT! This is going on my list of clutter free gift giving. I was planning on making my signature cookies for my gift list recipients, and I'm eyeballing my 6 year old's mangled crayon collection now that you've shared this with us.

Wow, we're having a mind meld today. This morning I was reading about a candle making craft and I was wondering, hmmmm I wonder if I could make this in the crockpot??
Then I read your post.
I just love your site, and have tried several recipies and they have all turned out fabulous. Our favs are applesauce chicken and the lima cassoulet. yummmm.

- anunmaker said...
Ok, so I have a question. Do you have a separate crock pot for non-edible projects like this, or do you just use your normal one, since the wax is contained in glass jars and you are just using the pot for a water bath?

Thank you!! I am always looking for good projects for Big T to personalize for gifts to his Grandparents and Godparents. This fits the bill very nicely!

Great idea. I think I'll try this today. I have a bunch of candles that no longer light. What a great way to recycle them. Thanx for the creative idea.

- Pink Lemonade Bags said...
Cool. I think I will try this too!
- November 18, 2008 at 9:12 AM
Please be careful when chopping at candle wax with a knife. Years ago, I froze a glass votive and had to chop at it to get the wax out. The glass broke and I needed several stitches in my finger.
- November 18, 2008 at 10:13 AM
Instead of freezing the old candle jars, it is easier (and safer) to submerge and soak them for a few minutes in a basin of really hot water (use dish gloves to protect your hands) until you can slide the softened candle bits out of the jars and then both can be reused.
- November 18, 2008 at 10:50 AM
- RLR said...
Oh, I'm so very excited about this one! I thought you were going to say you used crayons, but this is just as good - maybe even better! I've been reading back through your blog - I didn't find you until ... um ... later in the year (how did I not hear about you sooner!?!?) - so I hope you'll keep the blog up a while so I can try bunches of the recipes! Or - maybe a book?
- November 18, 2008 at 11:03 AM
- Erin P. said...
do you think you could make soap in the crock pot? I have never made soap before but I know it looks fun.
- November 18, 2008 at 11:08 AM
I'm going to agree with the commenter who said it's safer to soften the wax in old candles with very warm water. I burn votive candles a lot, and this always works. Since you're washing the candle jars anyway, it doesn't hurt.
Now I am feeling a bit like a tool for buying candles at the Yankee Candle store yesterday. Hrmph. This is a great idea!

- trucksr4gurls said...
no water between the candle jars?
- November 18, 2008 at 11:57 AM
- Crockpot Lady said...
thank you for the comments about melting the wax in warm water. I haven't had good luck with that, probably because I'm most impatient, but my mom has, and I believe her and you all!
trucks4gurls, nope. I didn't add any.
- November 18, 2008 at 11:59 AM
Please, please, pretty please publish a book soon! How about next year?
- November 18, 2008 at 12:32 PM
I have been doing this on the stove top for years. I save the little bits of candles that don't burn down and remelt them in the glass votives all the time. Just did a batch last week!
I love the idea of the crock pot. My dil is going to love this idea too.
- November 18, 2008 at 1:12 PM
Oh, wanted to also say that if you have a tiny bit of wax coating on the inside of a glass votive jar and you want to clear it out, a run through the dishwashe works well.
So, if a tiny bit of wax got into the crock liner, it should also come out in the dishwasher.
- November 18, 2008 at 1:13 PM
amen to the other anonymous....i too am anxious to have you do a book w/ all your good ideas and innovations. you actually dare to do what some of us might think about but are toooo cowardly to even try. thanx crockpot lady. i love your blog.

Wow. Candles in a crock. Is that "out of the crock" thinking or what?
- November 18, 2008 at 1:44 PM
- Sara said...
Homemade candles are awesome - that's how I got started with my business. On a safety note: DO NOT USE potpouri liquids when making candles unless you can confirm that they are 100% oil. Same with extracts and "oils" sold in craft stores. If there is any water or other fillers this can create a serious fire hazard in your home as the water or fillers will separate and flare up :) Happy candle making

You can also use an all natural yarn (such as cotton that you would make dish clothes out of) for the wick - it's worked quite well for us. Just use a broken chop stick or tooth pick to anchor the wick above the jar.
Any time I see candles at the thrift shop or yard sales I pick them up just for this type of thing. I also recycle veggie cans for the containers.
LOVE your blog & all the recipes!!

Thanks for posting this, I recently hand washed 48 glass baby food jars and their lids, which had expired in our food pantry because I couldn't stand to throw away the perfectly good jars. I've been trying to decide what exactly to do and did candles before melting wax on the stove. They were a pain! I may try again, now. I wonder if the gel food coloring would work?

A friend 'led' me to your blog and WOW! I'm super excited!! I can only cook by crock-pot for health reasons, so finding someone that uses their crock-pot every day is so encouraging! I can't wait to try some of your recipe's out!

What an awesome idea!
I am constantly buring the "glade" candles and find that there are always bits left in the jar!
This is a PERFECT way to recycle the candles
I am saving this idea I love it!

When I was in high school art class we made candles using simple parafin wax and crayons.. I wonder if it's as good as what you buy for candle making. Hmmm I might give it a try and see.

Stephanie! I just came across this site. How cool is this?!?
My family has long used a recipe for Crock Pot Mud Cake from a years-old issue of Family Fun. I'd like to share it with you as it's devilishly wonderful!

Make sure you serve it with a scoop of ice cream or a glass of milk. You'll need it. Trust me.

You have the greatest ideas! Here's an award!
- November 18, 2008 at 7:08 PM
I would suggest using separate crock pots for crafts and food. The thought of those candle, crayon, etc chemicals and food combinations make me nervous. Think twice about softening old candles in the microwave. That little metal piece that sometimes anchors the candle wick can arc and make an interesting firework-type display in the microwave. MKW

- Lynn said...
Fantastic...It miffs me when candles stop lighting and I have to throw them out...no more with this recipe and as for Al Gore, do you really think he or Tipper would do this to conserve ? In your dreams !
- November 18, 2008 at 7:48 PM
Love your recipes!! Nothing to do with the crock pot but if you want to use your old candle wax like you did but not in the crockpot....candle warmers are the BEST! I get to use up all that candle wax after the wick is gone and but the scent is still there! And there a little safer than candles too....!!

This sounds so easy. Got to give it a go, especially before Christmas
- November 18, 2008 at 10:35 PM
i like this idea a lot and would be interested to try it in glass ramekins with three wicks instead of one.as i usually get some small pilar candles and wedge three of them in it anyway,they tend to melt all into one big candle with three wicks when i light them anyway.
- November 19, 2008 at 5:20 AM
- Grandma K said...
Has anyone tried to make candles using one of the crock pot liners to melt the wax? I was thinking of doing this to make fire starters with pine cones.
- November 19, 2008 at 5:53 AM
Please be careful when reusing jars, even baby food ones, as they can easily break! Make sure to keep an eye on them...better yet, use new canning jars instead!
Don't use crayons...they will clog the wicks, since they are made with pigements! If you want to use color, just go to Michaels, pick up some candle colorant. It's cheap! Get the wax blocks of it and just shave some off and melt it in with the wax. Better uses for crayons include melting leftover down and putting them in a
Also, use candle safe fragrance! Also, something you can get at Michaels (even though it's way cheaper on the internet). Like another poster said, do not use potpourri oils. Essential oils often don't burn great, save yourself the $$ too with those.
Yes, you can make soap in a crockpot!

Love your blog! My friends pick on me for loving on the crockpot. It's the best tool that keeps me from slaving over dinner when I come home from work! Can't wait to catch up on the other posting I missed!

This sounds fun. My little guy loves helping bake stuff, and would think it's cool using broken up crayons.
- November 19, 2008 at 6:54 AM
Sweet! Can you show us a pic of what your candles look like after you finished?
- November 19, 2008 at 7:54 AM
Great Idea for using up those old crayons... I keep finding them in the bottom of the baby bag. We always get a couple of sets when we take the kids out to dinner with us...

How fun! I'll have to give it a try. I just wish now I hadn't chunke my old crock pot just a couple of weeks ago ;-( it would have been perfect for this! (So I could multi task, cook in one, candle in the other. Glad I found this site!

I have tried to make the candles three times now. Very few of them turn out right... they always cave several inches down in the middle. What am I doing wrong??? I am recycling wax from old candles and following your instructions. I am sad. :-(
- December 17, 2008 at 4:58 PM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Hi Amy,
I don't know! I'm sad too. I googled candles sinking in the middle and got this.
here's another one(scroll to the very bottom.) I have no idea why I didn't end up with a sink hole; I certainly didn't do a second pour. Could it be because I fussed with them so much? I melted the wax with the wicks in, then moved the wicks around quite a bit when the wax was hardening, (for no real reason, I was playing)---and maybe that released air?
- December 17, 2008 at 8:33 PM
The sinking is caused by the wax shrinking as it cools - and different waxes shrink different amounts. That's why one might shrink and another might not.
- January 10, 2009 at 9:17 PM
Oh wanted to add that if you use wax from pillar candles you may end up with little bubbles or caves in your wax instead that might not show up until you start burning it. You can mess around quite a bit to fill them in but that wouldn't be crock potting... So stick to wax from container candles for best results.

Here's a thought to save even more money - you can find glass containers for your candles at thrift stores as cheap as 10 cents!

This is one project that the crock liners work great with...avoid accidents.

Not sure if this was said, but you can use birthday candles as cheap wicks! i bought a package of white candles when I did it on the stove top and almost set my house on fire (gas stove, bad idea to melt wax & then poor it near the flame)- who knew wax was so flammable! You can also buy fancy saucers & cups, but the candle in the cup, and add wax to make pretty favors for a shower!
- October 6, 2011 at 1:08 PM
This is awesome!! I've been wanting to make candles for a long time, I have super sensitive skin and allergies, so unless I buy the fancy ones (which I can't afford), I either break out in hives (yuck) or go without. I have a couple of questions:
1) This might be a "duh" question, but beeswax would also work, right? I love the toasty-honey smell :)
2) I always save the glass jars from jam (both store bought and home canned), do you think it'd be safe to reuse those?
Thanks for the great ideas!

After watching the sophomore and JV squad dismantle the Juan Diego teams by 20 or more, the Lady Dino varsity remained focused on the task at hand. They knew that no matter what the record was of the team they were about to face, they needed to keep their heads and play their own game because next week they would be tested hard. Carbon kept their focus and easily defeated the Soaring Eagles 60-22 on Thursday night in front of a sparse home audience.
Juan Diego scored first and matched a bucket again after the Dinos scored next. That was it for the offense of the Soaring Eagle until late in the second quarter. The smothering Dino defense just didn't allow them to take many shots. The Carbon offense seemed to score at will. The shots were flying from both inside and out as the lead blossomed to 31 points by the break. The Dinos had hit six threes in a frenzy of scoring.
The coaches for Juan Diego looked a bit dazed and defeated as they headed slowly toward the locker room to try and regroup their squad. Carbon also retooled their approach to the game after the half. With the match securely in hand, they turned their focus to improving on their weaknesses rather than crush their opponent with their strengths.
Coach Carlson told her squad to slow down their offense and run each play all the way through. They also pulled their defense into a half court press, which Carlson feels is the weakest defense the Lady Dinos run.
The changes mattered little, as Carbon held the Soaring Eagle to only two points in the third period. The Dino offense played very deliberately and struggled with the change in rhythm, scoring only seven themselves. In the final period, both teams picked it back up and finished strong. Many of the bench players for Carbon again saw a bit of court time as the game was out of reach for their opponent.
The scoring for Carbon was well distributed, scoring 11 was Samantha Smith, with ten points each were Julia Potts, Patricia Smith and Tia Pappas.
Potts was named Carbon player of the game because she was everywhere. Potts led with seven rebounds, seven assists, five steals and a pair of blocks to go with her scoring effort.
Carlson was happy about her team's overall performance. She knows that even though the Dinos easily beat North Sanpete already, the Hawks are a dangerous team on their home court. They start off the week traveling to Delta to take on a good Rabbit squad and then hit the road again to face the Hawks. Emery will invade the House of Dinos on Feb. 3 for a rematch and Carbon needs to beat them for a chance at the region title.

A mad scientist known as Key Man has created a rampaging virus that mutates unsuspecting humans into nightmarish abominations of nature, and in order to dispose of these repulsive monstrosities, the Tokyo police have created a special squad of fearless freak fighters.

Despite the fact that they operate on opposite sides of the law, Key Man and Ruka have both dedicated their lives to one common goal: seeking vengeance against the crooked cops who killed both of their fathers many years ago.~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Maxwell needs your vote
By Greg Marsh on September 14, 2012 at 4:45 PM
Maxwell, the piggy who got his start going "Weeeee! Weeeeee!" all the way home in a GEICO ad and has since appeared in several more spots, is now a candidate for Favorite Ad Icon of the Year. But Maxwell won't be able to defeat his rivals – who include that salesgirl from another insurer – […]

A new holiday is to be observed in the city of Price.
During the Jan. 24 council meeting, Mayor Joe Piccolo proclaimed Feb. 2 as National Wear Red Day in Price.
The event is aimed at promoting heart health while taking action to fight women's heart disease. Local residents, men and women alike, are encouraged to wear red in support of the campaign.
According to a Southeastern Utah Health District press release, heart disease is the number one killer of women in Utah.
In 2005, heart disease and stroke killed seven women every day. Nationwide, one of every 2.5 women dies from hear disease and stroke.
"We can no longer ignore heart disease," said Dave Cunningham, district health officer. "Too often in Utah, women are so concerned with their families that they forget to take care of themselves," continued Cunningham continued.
The press release stresses that, while awareness is important, it's time for women to take action now to protect their hearts while maintaining healthier lifestyles.
To that end, the "go red" campaign encourages women not only to join the movement, but to take steps to protect their hearts.
To stimulate heart disease and stoke awareness, the local health district is organizing several 2007 programs and initiatives with the department's partners.
On Feb. 2, the public health district will host a National Wear Red Day luncheon at the College of Eastern Utah Jennifer Leavitt Student Center from noon to 1:30 p.m.
The guest speaker for the luncheon will be Mary Nichols of KUTV.
Castle Heights Elementary is also hosting a "Go Red for Women and Jump Rope for Heart" event on Feb. 8. This year Castle Heights has set a goal of raising more than the $5,268 that was raised by the students last year.
The Downtown Alive Association is planning to have discount savings and health related screenings at participating main street businesses on Feb. 9 and 10.
"Men are more than welcome at these screenings as long as they are wearing red," said Price city councilmember Kathy Hanna-Smith. The Price merchants are planning to paint the town red with lights and decoration on these days.
To make sure individuals are up to date on the advantages of early intervention The American Heart Association (AMA) and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute have launched a new "Act in Time" campaign to increase people's awareness of heart attack and the importance of calling 911 immediately at the onset of heart attack symptoms.
According to the AMA's Web site heart attack and stroke are life and death emergencies and every second counts. Today heart attack and stoke victims can benefit from new medications and treatments unavailable to patients in years past. Clot busting drugs can stop some hear attacks and stokes in progress, reducing disability and saving lives. But to be affective, these drugs must be given relatively quickly after the heart attack or stroke symptoms first appear.
Coronary heart disease is America's number one killer. Stroke is number three and a leading cause of serious disability. That is why it's so important to reduce your risk factors, know the warning signs and know how to respond quickly if warning signs occur.
The AMA reports that some heart attacks are sudden and intense during these no one doubts what is happening. But most heart attacks start slowly, with mild pain or discomfort. Often people affected aren't sure what's wrong and wait to long before getting help. The following are signs that can signal a heart attack is happening.
Chest Discomfort. Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the center of the chest that lasts more than a few minutes or that goes away and comes back. It can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain.
Discomfort in other areas of the upper body. Symptoms can include pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.
Shortness of breath. This may occur with or without chest discomfort.
Other signs. These may include breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness.
According to the site women experience symptoms other than chest pain, particularly shortness of breath more than men at the onset of a heart attack. The site further stipulates that an individual should wait no longer than five minutes to call 911 or seek a hospital at the onset of these symptoms.
Stroke warning signs include,
Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body.
Sudden confusion trouble speaking or understanding.
Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes.
Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination.
Sudden severe headache with no known cause.
According to the SEUDHD the best way to combat heart disease and stroke is to love your heart. The press release states that an individual should learn to connect with and love this vital organ by knowing personal risk factors including cholesterol, blood pressure and weight. They also recommend visiting at health care provider on a regular basis, eating a healthier diet and increasing exercise.
Go red for women captures the energy, passion and intelligence of women to work collectively to wipe out heart disease. "I would like to see everyone come and out and support this important event," concluded Price city mayor Joe Piccolo.

Founded in 1978, British brand Andrew Martin has become famous all over the world for its inspirational designs and high quality pieces.
Designer Martin Waller shaped the distinctive Andrew Martin style by translating his passion for travel and what he saw into his unique collections.
Starting with a small shop in Richmond, London, today Andrew Martin has showrooms in 63 countries around the world and is celebrated for pioneering 'fusion interiors'.

"For me design has been about reflecting different cultures and communicating a passion for the people that made them.
While many designers want to say something new, I want to say something old - to capture a flavour of an antique land and somehow bottle it.
It's a homage to the many generations from different lands who have bequeathed a legacy of design." - Martin Waller

When winter weather causes a sore or irritated throat, why not try all-natural remedies instead of prescription sprays or syrups. Mix together this solution: 1 to 2 tablespoons of pure tea tree oil and 1 cup of water. Gargle with the mixture and spit. Be sure not to swallow. This can help fight germs and kill potential bacteria that may be causing your painful ailment.
For immediate relief, brew a cup of green tea. Add some lemon juice and honey for an all-natural remedy that tastes good and provides health benefits as well.

MASSENA Hospital officials have voted to seek expert advice on the possibility of turning from a municipal hospital into a private, not-for-profit hospital.
Tina R. Corcoran, senior director of public relations and planning for Massena Memorial Hospital, said the board of managers has a number of factors to consider, and many parties to consult with before it can begin to consider privatizing the town-owned hospital as a way to save on rising retirement costs. A consultant would provide hospital officials with that information should they consider moving ahead with privatization.
Privatizing would remove employees from the state pension system.
The board agreed to allow and direct administrative information gathering to evaluate the possible restructuring of the hospital for becoming a private, not-for-profit facility, Mrs. Corcoran said.
She said that in 2002, the hospital paid only $149,000 into the state pension plan, compared with the more than $3.8 million it paid in 2012. This year, the hospital will pay $4.8 million into its pension plan, and Mrs. Corcoran said hospital officials are concerned that rising pension costs might threaten the viability of the hospital.
Those costs have escalated. We have to look at what we can do to sustain this hospital. Were a major employer in this community, Mrs. Corcoran said.
According to Mrs. Corcoran, privatization would have three significant effects on the hospital: it would affect its long-term bonding, it would allow the hospital to collaborate with outside agencies, such as other nonprofit area hospitals, and it would remove hospital employees from the states pension system and instead provide them with a different type of retirement plan.
Jonnie J. Dorothy, senior director of human resources at Massena Memorial, said the opportunity to work with other hospitals could increase the efficiency of care, allowing Massena to work collaboratively with local hospitals and not duplicate specialized services offered at other nearby facilities.
We all have to be different enough to supplement each other. We all have something to provide, Ms. Dorothy said.
Mrs. Corcoran said the consultant would determine Massenas options to provide retirement benefits for its employees, in place of the state pension plan, should the hospital privatize.
The possible change in retirement plans has left some employees concerned about the level of benefits they will receive upon retirement, should the board of managers elect to privatize the hospital, said Joseph Ward, a former nurse and president of Massena Memorials New York State Nurses Association union local.
Some employees already are beginning to look for jobs elsewhere because of the possible change, he said.
The morale down there is really low. A lot of people took jobs there because of the benefits, Mr. Ward said. It used to be a good hospital, but lately, in the last few years, its lost a lot.
Mrs. Corcoran could not provide an estimated timetable for when privatization might take place, but expects it to be a lengthy process. Before going private, hospital officials will have to consult with the state Department of Health, the New York State Commission on Health Care Facilities, the Massena Town Council, state government officials, state retirement officials, its long-term bond counsel and its employees and medical staff.
Supervisor Joseph D. Gray pointed out the Town Council would have a say over whether to allow the hospital to privatize, and said his vote would be based on the information hospital officials bring before the board.
I would have to wait and see what the research indicates. Theres no doubt the hospital has to do something, and I think the plan is to wait and see what their options are, Mr. Gray said.
Mrs. Corcoran said hospital CEO Charles F. Fahd II would keep employees informed as the hospital continues to gather data about possible privatization.

Figured I would come back and bump it until I wait another year and do so again.
Eh didn't want to wait as long to see if it was ever added. Figure more people that see this means more support so here it goes again.
I agree. They should add at least one of these gametypes soon, as they were adding the entity support about a few months ago. (why else would they do that?) Like TheMuffinMan said, I hope it is Harvester, it`s such a unique gametype, and probably creates more suspense during gameplay (more skulls, more risky) than any other gametype.
I always wondered why Cobalt Station didn`t recieve One Flag / Harvester support in the aforementioned update (it still got Overload support btw). Sure, it`s the only asymmetrical CTF map in QL, but that doesn`t mean it can`t support those two gametypes. You could put the white flag / obelisk where the RL is or RG is, either way would work. It could make very interesting games.
Dont have had English lessons on school ?
You dont understand word i just word do you? - Draven of LowLandLions
Check out my blog, EmeraldProductions:
- TA gametype support on most maps lacking it. (sponge says it's because bots break without it, I think that's just a cover-up!)
- Gametype info on main ingame menu for all 3 TA gametypes.
I got a strong feeling we'll see one of them added this year sometime. But hey, what do I know! If the community has it's way then they'll add Defrag instead, which would be a shame since the Defrag community is still quite active and therefore if you like Defrag then just go play it and quit asking for it to be added to QL. Team Arena on the other hand, was pretty much dead to begin with.
bumping this once again as every time I do the idea gets nothing but support.
Sadly no support from last bump but here I am again as I saw giantbomb do a TNT of unreal so it made me want to play some Quake.
The TA gametypes are a tradition in Q3A. Even most TA-haters probably found the gametypes for the mod enjoyable, and QL would benefit highly from having them introduced.
I hope we get at least one of them next update, since that is going to be the 10th update marking the one-year anniversary of QL going gold.

You dont understand word i just word do you? - Draven of LowLandLions
Check out my blog, EmeraldProductions:
QL hasn't even gone iron or aluminium, nevermind gold!
Unfortunately the dev team whole-heartedly believes that adding more gametypes will split the community. Where I'm from the situation is that QL is CA and duel servers, and every now and then one of the other gametypes. Adding more gametypes will only add more options for what to play instead of crappy CA, that's all. No splits, just more options for people like me who crave variety and strategic games, and who want to see this game become more interesting and playable than it is right now.

Feature and Technical Overview
Local Navigation
Simple implementation
You can use the Advertising Service SDK to integrate ads into your application without writing a large amount of code. You can display an ad in your application simply by adding the .jar file for the Advertising Service library to the build path for your application, importing the Banner class into your application, creating a Banner object, and adding it to a screen.
Availability of engaging and dynamic ads
The Advertising Service supports engaging and dynamic ads from many top brands and services. Besides the typical ads that users can click to open a website, the Advertising Service also supports ads that interact with BlackBerry® Device Software applications, such as the BlackBerry App World™ storefront. The Advertising Service supports ads that perform the following actions:
Ad type
Opens a website using the BlackBerry® Browser.
Opens an RTSP feed that displays a video.
Prompts the user to call a phone number.
Click-to-BlackBerry App World
Opens the Details screen for an application in BlackBerry App World.
The action that occurs after a user clicks an ad is determined by the ad network, and does not require that you implement this type of behavior yourself.
Access to multiple ad networks from one location
The Advertising Service gives you access to multiple ad networks without having to negotiate complicated 1:1 agreements with each ad network.
Each ad network is focused on sending ads to your application that are relevant to the target audience of your application and that are expected to perform well within the ad placement. Ad networks compete with one another for placing their ads within your application.
Intuitive ad selection
Statistics about the performance of ads in your application are updated in near real-time so that your application always receives high-performing ads that are relevant to the target audience of your application. The Advertising Service mediation layer can use the statistics to automatically send ad requests from your application to the ad networks with the highest performing ads.
If you want to take a more hands-on approach, in the Advertising Service web portal, you can specify your own preferences for how the mediation layer sends ad requests. You can allocate your ad inventory to the ad networks that provide the best CTR and fill rate, or you can allocate your ad inventory to ad networks manually.
After the mediation layer sends an ad request to an ad network, the ad network determines what ads to return to your application based on the past performance of ads in the ad placement (for example, CTR and fill rate).

Spend a few minutes browsing Zina Charkoplia's thoughtfully curated style blog, Fashionvibe (each page features one flawless outfit after another), and you'll quickly see that for this Barcelona-based beauty, being stylish is not just a hobby, it's a way of life. Not one to shy away from offbeat patterns, striking color combinations, and the season's hard-to-tackle trends, Charkoplia's ensembles are a consistent reminder that her on-point sartorial sensibilities are every bit as lively and interesting as her beautiful Spanish surroundings. And for that, we can't think of a more deserving person for this month's Style Stalker spotlight, which is why it truly excites us to share seven of Charkoplia's best looks with you today!
On The Streets
Charkoplia has given us plenty of reasons to sing her praises over the last few months, but what really stands out about this tastemaker is her ability to translate the season's biggest trends into a series of brilliantly executed looks. For example, while the task of combining a peplum top, tropical-print pants, and gold metallic oxfords may sound tricky to some, Charkoplia does it with ease, creating a very desirable and effortlessly cool outfit. The same result occurred when she polished a floral romper with an oversized white moto vest, and cleverly teamed pretty pastel hues via a mint-striped button-up and sherbet orange trousers. In addition to her remarkable clothing choices, Charkoplia's accessories are consistently spot-on too. From her hot pink bedazzled shades to her covetable collection of pouch clutches, there's no denying Charkoplia has an incredible eye for intriguing little touches.
Read on for the scoop on all of Charkoplia's featured outfits, as well as a plethora of similar essentials. Plus, don't miss our exclusive interview with this month's stalkee, where she reveals her favorite places to shop and her closet go-tos!--Jessica Baker

Q&A with Zina Charkoplia
Please describe your personal style in two sentences or less.
Chameleonic, casual-chic, and sometimes rebellious-inspired by my travels around the world.
How does the city you live in inspire your day-to-day style?
As a stylist I need to be comfy during the day, but that doesn't mean I don't wear heels or eccentric outfits. I wouldn't say that there is a lot of "street style" inspiration in my city, but where I work there are a lot of stylish people. Due to the fact that Barcelona is a hot-weather city and very sunny, it inspires me to wear more floral clothing with bright colors and bright accessories.
List some of your favorite current trends and why you appreciate them/how you are wearing them.
At the moment, I'm obsessed with prints, especially floral and animal prints. I also like studs, military trends in khaki shades, neon, powerful accessories, metallic qualities such as gold and silver, leather details on clothes, and furs for the new season.
Who are some of your style icons and why?
Kate Moss is an eternal inspiration to me, not only because of the way she dresses, but because of the effortless elegance she transmits.
Name one go-to piece in your closet and why.
My Balenciaga bag is one of the items I wear the most. It is very stylish and easily paired with things.
What are some of your favorite places to shop?
I'm not going to lie, I love Zara. It's the store I love the most. I also love Topshop and Uterqüe.
What are some of your fashion sites/blogs?
Stockholm Street Style
The Sartorialist

I am wondering if this is the right place for this question, but if not...then the moderators will surely tell me so.
Anyway....there is Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and the normal 12.10 version. Is that the same with Lubuntu? On their site, for some reason, they seem to be promoting the 12.10 version while for me an LTS is always more appealing. I am wondering if they have the same ideology as the Ubuntu team.
UPDATE: Is it okay to talk about Lubuntu here at all? I understand that it is a flavour of Ubuntu...but still. Are they 2 very different teams?

Scarlet Fever
Scarlet Fever Overview & History
Scarlet fever (sometimes referred to as scarlatina) is an infectious disease characterized by fever, sore throat (pharyngitis), and a characteristic rash. Scarlet fever is caused by an infection with group A Streptococcus, the same bacteria responsible for causing "strep throat" and various other skin infections (for example, impetigo and erysipelas). Scarlet fever is predominantly a childhood disease occurring in children 2-10 years of age, though it can less commonly occur in older children and adults. The incidence and mortality rates associated with this once feared disease have significantly decreased due to the introduction and widespread use of antibiotics.
Because it is so contagious, scarlet fever historically has been responsible for devastating epidemics, particularly in the 19th century. In 1923, the husband and wife team of George and Gladys Dick identified the streptococcal bacterium responsible for causing scarlet fever, and shortly thereafter they isolated the toxin responsible for causing the characteristic rash of scarlet fever. This led to the development of a test once used to determine an individual's immunity or susceptibility to scarlet fever and to the development of a patented vaccine. The vaccine is no longer used, as its use was eliminated by the advent of antibiotics.

Femtocell developers, Ubiquisys, have managed to round up a whopping $9 million through extra funding. This was primarily led by 5 Continents Consulting Group (5CCG) and needless to say this event has been quite outstanding. Other prominent companies were involved in this grand event, which has led to Ubiquisys bagging this enormous amount of money. This money is going to spend wisely in developing new innovations in femtocell technology. This can eventually lead to femtocell being deployed in different significant places where it can be put to productive use.
Ubiquisys has been proving their quality for a long time and was the first company to break the $100 price for femtocells. The possibilities of using femtocells have become unbelievable and thus Ubiquisys can indeed be of immense benefit to everyone.
Ubiquisys has interesting projects coming up to get the maximum out of the femtocells. The prospects look bright and they are sure to bring about several new changes if the $9 million is spent wisely. They have always delivered quality whenever they were tested and they are slowly becoming bigger and better. Femtocell technology has really taken off since the work done by Ubiquisys. They deserved this and they will surely put the money to good use in proper time.
5CCG's Founder and Managing Partner, Michael Bornhäusser has been quite vocal in the support of Ubiquisys and is highly optimistic about the future of Ubiquisys. He believes Ubiquisys has become a worldwide phenomenon and have started to deliver a lot lately. Femto market has really been in the rise and Ubiquisys has been instrumental in providing such a situation. It has superior technology and is possibly on the verge of making history. The money will be of great value if it can be used to better the femtocell technology.

|Sweepstakes Future; No Sure Bet
|Written by Steve Frank
|Monday, 17 December 2012 09:46
So what's next for video gaming? Just as the sweepstakes games were popping up all over, the state Supreme Court on Friday upheld the state's ban on video sweepstakes machines, overturning the state Appeals Court rulings that said regulating the games violated the constitutional right to free speech.
But the Raleigh News & Observer says it's unclear whether the decision will be the end of the industry. Sweepstakes operators have in the past found ways around the laws, and an industry spokesman told the paper Friday that owners will seek to keep their establishments open by making adjustments to their business model to meet the letter of the law. Chase Brooks, a sweepstakes operator in Alamance County and president of the Internet Based Sweepstakes Operators, said in a statement that the companies would modify their operations to stay open, "The operators and software companies will now look at the law and our operating systems to see how we can adjust our computer programs and business models to continue operations," and he said. "We will look at morphing into whatever we need to be under the rule of law to continue our business."
But Senate leader Phil Berger said he expects law enforcement to start shutting down sweepstakes parlors, and said, "I'm pleased every member of the Supreme Court chose to uphold the law the General Assembly passed overwhelmingly with bipartisan support." And he said, "Now that the question is settled, I expect our law enforcement officials will begin enforcing the law." The N&O wrote that Lawyers for gaming companies had argued that the machines were entertainment and protected by the First Amendment, but that, it its opinion, the court said the sweepstakes companies "have attempted to 'skillfully disguise' conduct with a facade of speech to gain First Amendment protection for their conduct." The Supreme Court justices said the ban did not infringe on free speech rights, with Justice Robin E. Hudson writing, "We conclude that this legislation regulates conduct and not protected speech." The N&O said that state and local law enforcement officials are waiting for guidance from state Attorney General Roy Cooper's office on their response to the court opinion. Cooper's office said in a statement that state attorneys are reviewing the ruling to determine what advice to give. "I stood with law enforcement to push for a ban on this kind of gambling and our lawyers have argued for years for the right to enforce it," Cooper said in a statement. "The Supreme Court got this one right."

Poor quality, very disappointed!
Par Ed
de Winnipeg
Good looking ring but poorly made.The center stone set off center, overlaps the other stones which made the small stones to fall out. Have it exchanged 3 times! Wore one of them only once! Since June all I have been doing returning it. Keep exchanging because I also purchased the necklace and wanted to have a matching ring. Unfortunately, the last one arrived also with the stone off-set, we will see how long will this one last. I might never have a chance to wear this set because the necklace bail just broke without even wearing it! It is so tiny so no surprise that it broke! Now I am waiting to have the necklace exchanged. The designer should look for a higher quality manufacturer of her jewellery, very poorly done.
En résumé
Non, je ne recommanderais pas ceci à un ami

Where in the heck is the quality control???? I'm sure that TSC has done some employee downsizing as customer service is nothing like it used to be. I was shocked when I opened this ring today. Three stones were missing; not one, but three, so it was clear as mud to anyone who picked this to ship!!! I was so angry as I've watched this ring for quite some time! What a disappointment! TSC has certainly gone down hill over the past several months and they're jeapardizing their reputation even more by selling inferior products like this. I mailed it back within the hour and will not order from this line ever again! What a waste of time!

Pretty but flawed.
Par MAG from NB
de Miramichi, NB
Ordered earrings and ring as well. Loved the set (gorgeous)but was so disappointed that all had to go back (didn't reorder as quality of manufacture didn't seem very reassuring). Stones fell out of earrings, very flimsy; stone in ring was crooked as other lady mentioned and one prong was broken so I had to return it also. There was some black "stuff" on the pieces as someone else mentioned... whatever it was.

The stone was great but it looked poorly with my other rutilated quartz.I returned it.

Rather unfortunate
Par Jewel Girl
de Ottawa, Ontario
The gold quartz stone, the centrepiece of the ring, is quite unique and very pretty. However it looks like it is crookedly. The surrounding topaz stones look dirty. Each shoulder has topaz stones and one stone is missing on one side, leaving a blackish hole. The sterling silver band and prongs look dis-coloured. Too bad that the gold quartz could not have been in a better setting.

Fantastic job refusing to engage the conversation.
You'll notice that I acknowledge Hardy is better than Peralta overall.
You might also be interested in knowing that ZIPS doesn't do anything different than humans: it looks at past performance. That's it. That's all it does.

Guide To Fishing Gibbs Lures
More commonly referred to as the "Bottle Plug" this is "Derby Special" due to the "Derby" winners it has been credited with. Not being encumbered with a metal lip allows this plug to really reach the "off beach" rips. The Casting Swimmer is more at home in turbulent water and fast current. William "Doc" Muller best described the correct technique when he coined the phrase "stay in contact with the plug". Pay close attention to what's happening out there and keep the plug working by maintaining tight lines and a steady retrieve as current ebbs and flows. This means you speed up retrieve on wave fronts and slow down on the backside.

The Rum Diary
Action/Adventure, Drama
"The Rum Diary" tells the increasingly unhinged story of itinerant journalist Paul Kemp. Tiring of the noise and madness of New York and the crushing conventions of late Eisenhower-era America, Kemp travels to the pristine island of Puerto Rico to write for a local newspaper, The San Juan Star, run by downtrodden editor Lotterman. Adopting the rum-soaked life of the island, Paul soon becomes obsessed with Chenault, the wildly attractive Connecticut-born fiancée of Sanderson. When Kemp is recruited by Sanderson to write favorably about his latest unsavory scheme, the journalist is presented with a choice: to use his words for the corrupt businessmen's financial benefit, or use them to take the bastards down.

The Orioles announced this afternoon that the Chicago Cubs claimed reliever Miguel Socolovich off waivers. They designated him for assignment nine days ago to make room for left-hander J.C. Romero on the 40-man roster.
The Cubs optioned Socolovich to Triple-A Iowa.
Socolovich posted a 1.90 ERA in 28 games at Triple-A Norfolk and was named to the International League All-Star team. However, he registered a 6.97 ERA in six appearances and 10 1/3 innings with the Orioles during two stints with the club.

I never like to lose a player but Socolovich seemed to be the quintessential 4A guy.

HEUVELTON – Mayor Barbara A. Lashua said this weeks intense snowfall will add an exciting dimension to Saturdays centennial celebration as the village will be decked out in the fresh snow.
The storm that hit the region Wednesday night tapered off today and Ms. Lashua said everything should be beautiful for Saturday.
The snowfall will be especially fun for anyone looking to utilize the sledding hill at the Methodist Church where cookies and hot chocolate will be served, said Terri L. Persons, one of the organizers of the days events.
But sledding is only one event that will be held as the village celebrates 100 years of incorporation.
The main event is the dedication of the time capsule at Murdock Park at 3:30 p.m.
Because of the cold, Pastor Rusty Bissell, who is offering the invocation and convocation at the dedication ceremony, said the event will move quickly.
That being said, the ceremony will be accompanied by the Heuvelton AmVets Post 1997 Color Guard and prayers by three village religious leaders.
The marker for the time capsule was donated by Fox and Murray Memorials.
Throughout the day music and food will be available at Pickens General Store.
Heuvelton Lions Club President Becky S. Bailey said the postmaster will be at Pickens General Store during the day doing pictorial cancellations in commemoration of the centennial.
The cancellations will be available for the month following Saturdays events as well, said Ms. Bailey.
After Saturday they can mail a postcard to the post office and we can cancel it and send it back, she added. Post cards should be mailed to P.O. Box 9998, Heuvelton.
At 6 p.m. there will be a parade down State Street.
Eric J. Warner, the parade organizer, said there will be more than a dozen floats in the parade.
Anyone who is interested in getting involved should contact him at 393-7931.
Mr. Warner said the parade floats will be judged by secret judges and the winners will be announced in the days following.
Ms. Lashua, who will be marching in the parade, said candy will be given out to onlookers.
At 8 p.m. the village will launch fireworks to mark the occasion. The fireworks will be launched near the Agway store on Water Street.
The schedule of events for the Dec. 29 celebration is as follows:
7:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. – Breakfast fund-raiser at the Heuvelton Volunteer Fire Department.
1 p.m. – 3 p.m. – Sledding and cocoa at the Methodist Church.
3:30 p.m. – Dedication of the time capsule in Murdock Park.
4:45 p.m. – Birthday cake, hot chocolate and music at Pickens General Store.
6 p.m. – Parade down Main Street with complimentary hot chocolate at three stations along the parade route.
7 p.m. – Heuvelton Central School Chorus singing at Pickens General Store.
7:35 p.m. – Heuvelton Central School Band performing at Pickens General Store.
8 p.m. – Fireworks show. No parking on Water Street.
8:30 p.m. – More special music at Pickens General Store, including The Acoustic Brothers.
