As featured in the story "A Candle For Christmas" from the book: Christmas In Dairyland (True Stories From a Wisconsin Farm) (August 2003; trade paperback) http:ruralroute2

Materials:
? 1 wax carton (quart) (milk, fabric softener, or orange juice)
? 1 pound of paraffin wax
? 4 or 5 old crayons
? two trays of ice cubes
? a double boiler (or an empty coffee can and a saucepan)
? 1 piece of ordinary white package string about six inches long.

Caution: Do not heat paraffin directly over the burner. Paraffin is easily combustible. Use a double boiler or a two-pound coffee can set in a pan of water. I put the coffee can on top of home canning jar rings (the rings Asics Gel Kayano 23 Australia , not the flat lids). If the can is not set on top of something, the concave bottom creates a vacuum when the water begins to heat up, plus if it?s on the bottom of the pan Asics Gel GT II Australia , it's just that much closer to the burner.

Trim the top part of the carton off so that what remains is about six inches high.

Cut the string so that it is six inches long. (To make a wick that lasts longer, try braiding three pieces of string together.)

Melt the paraffin wax over medium heat in a double boiler or a coffee can in a pan of water. Use three-quarters of a pound for a somewhat smaller candle or use all four squares for a larger candle. Once the water begins to boil, it will take 10 or 15 minutes for the paraffin to melt.

Break the crayons into small pieces and add to the paraffin. If the crayons are added first before the wax is melted Asics Gel DS Trainer Australia , the color makes it difficult to see if all of the paraffin is liquefied.

Use a pair of tongs (a scissors works, too), and dip the string into the paraffin. Dipping the string will ensure that it is coated with paraffin since the ice cubes may prevent some sections from coming in contact with the liquid wax. Hold the string so that it is in the middle of the carton and fill the carton with ice cubes. Pour the hot paraffin over the ice cubes.

The candle will be set in about 30 minutes. Let the candle stand for another hour or two until most of the ice cubes are melted. Pour off the water. Peel off the carton. Place the candle in a tray or on a plate to catch the rest of the water from the ice cubes as they finish melting. Let the candle dry for a day or two.

The candles I have made with a single piece of string only burn for an hour or so and burn quickly enough so that most of the paraffin remains intact. To use the paraffin again Asics Gel Atena RF Australia , melt the candle and pour the wax into other containers to make solid candles.


~ Solid Candles ~

To make solid candles, select several glass containers. Pint or half-pint canning or jelly jars work well. For the wick, measure out a few more inches of string than is needed to reach the bottom of the container. Tie the string around a pencil. Put the pencil across the top of the container to hold the wick in place. When the paraffin and crayons are melted Asics GT Cool Express Australia , pour the liquid wax into the container(s). When the candle is set, snip off the wick about a half inch above the wax.

~ Scented Candles ~

To make scented candles, put three or four teaspoons of vanilla extract into the bottom of the double boiler (or the coffee can) and then add the paraffin and crayons. When the wax is melted Asics Fuzex Rush Australia , pour into containers.

What is ISO 9000?


By Peter Emerson

ISO 9000 refers to a group of international standards developed by professionals from around the world. These standards allow companies to create in-house quality standard systems and to monitor their existing quality systems. The standards were developed and are maintained by the International Organization for Standardization and are implemented in over 90 countries worldwide. The standards set within ISO 9000 are considered to be generic because they can apply to any business, product or service regardless of the industry.

The International Organization for Standardization first developed standards for quality control in 1987 and has updated it twice since then. According to the organization, the standards were developed to enhance the growing global marketplace. With a set of standards that has met widespread acceptance Asics Dynamis Australia , and people of all nations can recognize and understand their value.

ISO 9000 has quickly become the leading set of standards for companies throughout the globe. Quality management saves time, money and ensures customers are satisfied. Because many managers ask the question, "What is ISO 9000?" many resources for information have become available.

"9000" refers to five standards that are not specific to any particular company or industry. These standards do not reflect the quality of goods or service Asics DynaFlyte Australia , but rather refer to the manner in which a company ensures its quality level. Registration and certification as compliant with ISO 9000 means that the company adheres to the rigorous set of standards as determined by an independent auditor. Employee relations, record keeping, product testing Asics Comutora Australia , and response to issues are among a few of the areas that are covered in ISO certification.

Whether large or small, ISO 9000 standards have been widely accepted in nearly every developed country. Having a set of quality standards has shaped the new millennium's global marketplace and provides for enhanced customer service and employee relations. A company that has undergone ISO 9000 certification basically guarantees that they are true to their wor.
