Funny, I noticed that too. I kind of thought it was a play on words though. I'd definitely prefer for fire dancers to be mature enough to know what they're doing. LOL

[DJ Uhm]

Okay ladies & gents....

From 95 South to CR 2237 you'll travel 15.9mi
From CR 2237 to Anchor Ranch Loop Road you'll travel 1.6mi

If anyone gets lost now, then God help you because I have done everything else to get you there

Safety with candles
Never leave candles burning unattended. Burn candles out of the reach of children and pets. If pet's are inside it is very easy for a pets tail to catch on fire. Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch on fire. Always burn candles on a protected, heat resistant surfaces.

Fun Candle Facts

* Prior to the mid 19th century, the majority of candles were tallow (a byproduct of beef fat rendering). The fuel now is nearly always some form of wax, with paraffin wax being the most common. Soy and vegetable-based candles are also available.

* The Egyptians and Cretans made candles from beeswax, as early as 3000 BC. Early candles were made from various forms of natural fat, tallow, and wax.

* In the 18th century, spermaceti, an oil produced by the sperm whale, was used to produce superior candles. Late in the 18th century, colza oil and rapeseed oil came into use as much cheaper substitutes.

* Paraffin was first distilled in 1830, and revolutionized candle-making, as it was an inexpensive material which produced high-quality, odorless candles that burned reasonably cleanly and were used during the colonial days.

* In Christianity, candles are commonly used in worship both for decoration and ambiance, and as symbols that represent the light of God, or specifically the light of Christ. Candles are often placed on the altar. Votive candles may be lit as an accompaniment to prayer.

* Candles were traditionally used to light up Christmas trees before the advent of electric lights.

* In Wicca and related forms of Neopaganism, candles are frequently used on the altar to represent the presence of the God and Goddess, and in the four corners of a ritual circle to represent the presence of the four elements.
