"The world may turn but Plugs law is static; they are as they always have been, always will be, the Goddamnedest band in the world, and if you don't know what that means, you're never gonna learn. Where every other rock 'n' roll band is a dead and hollow beast, having one-upped itself to extinction, Plug Uglies continue to move, not forward, but around, a vicious pacing back and forth, a vital oscillation that rock has lost."
Simon Killalea 1991
Their first line-up in 1986 consisted of Johnny Gorman on rhythm guitar, Roger Norris on vocals, Tina Havelock Stevens on drums, Angus Douglas (ex Tactics) on lead guitar, and Wayne Baker on bass. They were as unstable as the 1830s New York street gang they were named after, and several line-up changes occurred early on. They settled for long enough to record six songs at Kings Row Studio in 1988. Producing the EP was Johnny's brother, Michael Hiron from the Riptides. Before the songs were finally mixed, Johnny Gorman committed suicide.
Several months after John Gorman's death, Michael Hiron and the other members of Plug Uglies decided to release the six track EP "Knock Me Your Lobes" as a way of documenting Johnny's incredible songwriting. In late 1989 they recorded a sad, dark track called Johnny Panic. A twelve-inch single with Johnny Panic on the A-side was released with two live songs and an early demo on the B-side. It received regular airplay on 2JJJ, just as that station was morphing from a regional into a national network.
In 1991 the band decided it was time to do an album, so they recorded a demo on a 4-track machine with only three tracks working. In some ways it was the closest they ever got to capturing the energy of their live performances. Plug Uglies released one more single, the neo-country Pounding Grace. The flip side was a piece of bitter bubblegum entitled Grubby Supper from the Johnny Panic recording session. Everyone was tired. Michael Hiron decided to quit the band in late 1991. They played a farewell gig to a sold-out crowd at the Annadale Hotel in March 1992.
In 2000 the remaining Plug Uglies members started creating a collection of their best available songs - as much for their own enjoyment as for anyone else. In March 2001, just as they were about to master the songs onto CD, Michael Hiron died and the project was put on hold. The 19 track retrospective CD was released in October 2005, almost twenty years since the first distorted sounds from a bedroom in inner city Sydney proclaimed the birth of the Plug Uglies.

This new expert system isn't working very well.
The begin with, I already thought 6000 was too low of a number for Expert status to be granted, but I'm not here to complain.
The new system allowing users to get their expert powers at 6000 points, has brought this.
I like Ninja, he is a nice guy. But him being a nice guy, has given him about 4500 points over the last week or so, without answering hardly any questions. Or asking them. 3 Users were involved in making this happen. Top ranked users.
Some people have taken the power of SPAM UP-VOTING into their hands. And this has to stop.
We can't have a single user, be able decide that someone is going to be an expert.
Take the user NJDevil for example. He has 3958 points at the moment.
He has answered 122 questions, and asked 62 questions.
By myself, I could potentially give him 1220 + 620 = 1840 points.
Now that doesn't seem like too much, does it?
Well, if we just said he had 4000 points. That would put him at 5840. Just a few answers and questions for expert.
To make it worse, it doesn't stop there. Imagine if I had a friend. That's ANOTHER 1840 points I can reward him.
We need to find a way to potentially STOP things like Spam-up-voting. As it IS happening here in the pokebase, and it doesn't belong. A single user, or a group of two users, should NOT be able to decide who gets Expert status.
While our new Experts will do great jobs, sure. That's not how things should be.
I don't have a current solution, sadly. Although I hope that anyone who can will pitch ideas, and that you, Pokemaster, can find a good solution to fix this.
Feb 26 - 2012 - TooJosh4U / J98 / Josh / TKOR / All other kinds of crap
I think that the whole thing should be dropped, the spam up-voters are sorry and that is all that really matters, everyone makes mistakes. Instead of compiling a list of people to blame lets compile a list of solutions to the problem :)
This one is a pretty good idea but it will not stop people from spam upvoting, it may even encourage them to do it for even more points. Maybe doing this idea and keeping careful watch on users point growth and keeping the people who are currently experts as experts. This way we know for sure that users have earned the position. We should not just give expert status for users who have only been around for a few months, 10,000 points means that most of the users on the site know this person and have a basic sense of their personality and trust them.
This would be a good idea, but less people would become experts, though that is not so bad as we do not really need a ton of experts. This would mean they would be around for a long time and have earned Pokemaster's trust like WILL, and I did instead of it being mainly based around points, someone could be good at Pokemon but not be a nice person and not deserve to be an expert.
This way only the best and the most frequently online people become experts. Though it may be a bit harder for Pokemaster to program. This should be at least 200 correct answers if not more so as too get a good understanding of whether or not they are worthy of the title.
These are from Mew: since I don't want to clog up the question with more answers:
Let's say: a user can only give 15 votes IN TOTAL for the entire day.
This one is not that great, but whatever:
What I mean is, for anyone under the rank of Mod, they will get no access to how many points each user has. Every other user will still get access to the user list, just with ranks instead of points.
If anyone has anymore suggestions please comment. Remember being an expert is not supposed to be a goal to just get for respect or being able to boast about it. It comes with the duty of helping Pokemaster to make this the best Pokemon site ever.
Enough of this. I prefer not to have infighting among the top brass.
I'll take full blame for this mess. I voted up plenty of both Ninja and Hex answers.
I felt both Ninja and Hex deserving of being experts. So what I did was do two things.
Of course, the second one is fully within my right as a Moderator to do and is actually one of my jobs.
The first one however I was not justified enough in my actions. My only justification is that normally I only upvote for creativity of a very high level, instead of just being correct and answering all of the question in a fashion that can easily be understood. So I let the dam break loose and voted up answers of the second variety for two users who I thought to be great and creative users who are also very responsible and are regular users.
In my opinion they are deserving of those points gained. However, I will undo the upvotes.
Neither asked me for this.
I also take blame to this, being the major Spam Upvoter giving about 200 Upvotes to Ninja and about 10 to Hex. I recognize that this was an error to do, but if you know me well, You know I don't break promises at all, And I indeed promised Ninja that I will get him to Expert.
Although I will inform you all, I'll be removing my votes from Ninja in approximately 2 days, but not from Hex because I still believe He deserves to be Expert. Don't ask me why I did this exactly, because You will get No Answer at all.
What I did was simple, Upvote the User Each day by a major amount and I took advantage of my week off to get this done, though it was easily noticeable.
Here is my side of the Story that caused this. It was a typical Night on the DB, and Shadow Leaves after his raiding of Chat. Ninja was talking about dreaming to become Expert and all. After a brief silence, Mew and I made a promise to Ninja, To get him to Expert, and we all agreed. I never forgot about this task at all, and since I wanted to get this done, I took advantage of having a vacation to finish this, and it was very noticable. I also helped in the affair with Hex, but a mysterious Person also upvoted. And with the Mew affair, I was also involved but a mysterious person spammed him to Expert(forgot who it was). So whoever spammed Mew, fess up now.
I believe I was a major part of this mess, and I apologize. I think I will be leaving the DB with Mew after the Weather Tournament is over and I remove Ninja's votes. I think I have done enough damage to the DB to stay, and it has gotten boring IMO.
If I were Pokemaster, I would ban myself for causing havoc and hand Pick Experts. I also believe that Spam Downvoting is an issue and I know Users who do this to piss Members off. PM can easily check who you guys are as well, so fess up. I will be leaving in 2-4 days if the Tournament doesn't keep moving. I think I have caused the DB enough damage honestly.
Thanks for reading.
Well, it not fair that everyone else take to the blame. If everyone is going confess, screw this, I'm going t confess to about this.
Oh yea, trachy? I am so not letting you taking the full blame. You did what you did for very good reasons.
And also, I'm going to recall this from the best of my memory, so mistakes can be made.
On New Year's Eve, the former spamming Shadow (not the new one) was on the DB Chat, spamming, and made offensive posts on the Pokebase, Meta, and the Battle Subway sections. Although I could edit those posts on the Battle Subway and Meta, I couldn't do anything on the Pokebase. Nothing. So when people asked me to edit, I couldn't. I said I didn't have enough votes. Ninja graciously went and gave me the upvotes I needed to become an Expert, so I then edited the posts in the Pokebase. Then, Me, PB, and Ninja made a promise to get Ninja to be an Expert. I forgot about this for a while, but someone (who will remain anonymous) reminded me. So very recently, I gave Ninja about 600 points on Pokebase. This brought him (I think) to about 5,800.
Also, you may have seen Ninja's post: "Mew was apparently also spam upvoted."
On New Year's Eve, when Pokemaster announced the new Expert limit was 6,000, I was psyched. PB then upvoted me. Then, some mysterious person (that neither or PB knew about) spammed me like crazy, giving me about 300 more points. This brought me to 6,000. I then told PB to remove all his votes that he had given me.
Another incident was with Josh. On the Battle Subway, I upvoted him from 900 to about 1,000. He gave me 6-8 upvoted to get me to 270.
What I just stated above IS COMPLETELY MY FAULT. DO NOT BLAME PB OR JOSH. DO NOT.
I'm sorry to everyone. Especially Hex and PB. One thing I always do is exaggerate. Too many times have I done that. I will quit.
I'll know there's a big possibility of me being banned. I know, and I deserve it. I'll take FULL responsibility.
If I don't get banned (which is unlikely) I'll be taking a break from Pokebase, Meta, and Battle Subway. I'll even consider taking a month off from this site. I may also consider leaving the site.
Thank you for reading.

NOTICE: This is an unofficial list of Android devices that are and aren't working with the current development builds of XBMC. The final stable release of XBMC for Android might have different compatibility, so do not use this list as a guide for buying Android hardware. |

Contents |
1 Basic requirements
- XBMC for Android is still too early in development to have firm hardware requirements. As such, this is subject to major changes. A conservative estimate would be:
- Something similar in spec to the Pivos XIOS (the development target for the initial Android port)
- A NEON compatible ARM processor (for example: Tegra 1/2 probably won't be supported. Tegra 3 is okay.)
- Android 4.0 or newer (might work on older versions such as 2.3, but this is a conservative estimate after all)
- Hardware decoding support in XBMC is likely a must for HD video playback (720+). Don't expect this to work on any device until someone has specifically tested it and can confirm hardware decoding support for that device.
- Avoid hardware that uses the Allwinner series of chips (such as the Allwinner A10). Development is not going well for these devices.
- If your device is listed as not working try a non-neon (Tegra 2) unofficial build. These are not supported by Team XBMC:
- If you are willing to be a tester and give feedback on a prerelease build which includes hardware decoding, visit this forum thread:

and updates on the
California Lemon Law
State of California Lemon Law
Explained in Plain English
The California lemon law was established to protect your consumer rights. It provides you legal recourse after the purchase or lease of a defective new motor vehicle which fails to meet the manufacturer's warranty after a reasonable number of repair attempts.
Why is it called a lemon vehicle?
In the 1800's, people started using the word 'lemon' to describe people who were sour (or unfriendly). In American English the word was first recorded in 1906 as a slang sense of 'worthless thing'. Over time, 'lemon' came to refer to anything that was defective or broken or which breaks constantly, particularly a car.
Your California Lemon Law Rights
The law provides that when a manufacturer cannot repair consumer goods after a reasonable number of attempts, it must either replace the defective product or refund the consumer's money. Generally, the manufacturer of your "lemon vehicle", as opposed to the selling dealer, bears the final responsibility to re-purchase your defective car, truck, boat, RV, motor home, or motorcycle.
The consumer may choose to have their vehicle repurchased. Additionally, the manufacturer may not compel the consumer to take a replacement vehicle. Moreover, consumers do not have to demand what they are rightfully entitled to under the law.
The California Lemon Law requires that the manufacturer initiate an appropriate offer to the consumer once a reasonable number of attempts to repair the defective vehicle have failed.
When To Seek Legal Help
If a manufacturer fails or refuses to offer a replacement or a refund for a "lemon," the consumer has the right to file a civil action in a court of law. When the consumer wins a lemon law case, the manufacturer must:
- Provide a replacement or a refund
- Pay the consumer's costs and expenses, including attorney's fees.
- In some cases, the manufacturer can also be liable for a "civil penalty" of up to twice the consumer's damages (usually the price of the defective goods).
Rather than seeking recourse from the dealer who sold you the vehicle (which can result in unnecessary loss of time and energy), contact the Lemon Law Firm of Norman Taylor & Associates for a free consultation to find out if your defective vehicle qualifies under the California Lemon Law consumer protection act.

SäkerhetscenterInternet SecurityInternet ThreatsRise of the blended attacks
Den aktuella sidan var inte skriven i ditt språk. Vad vill du göra härnäst?
As users have become savvier about traditional threats like email attachments, cybercriminals are attempting to integrate multiple forms of attacks. Research indicates that criminals are more frequently converging their attacks across multiple communications channels, such as email, instant messaging, websites, mobile computing and VoIP.
They are also using several different malware components at once, such as worms, Trojans, spyware, keyloggers, spam and phishing schemes. This blending of attacks is making malware more complex, and personal information is increasingly at risk.
Watch out for the fake security messages
The most common type of blended attack uses spam email messages, instant messages or legitimate website to distribute links to websites where malware or spyware is secretly downloaded to computers. In April 2011, attackers launched a large-scale SQL injection attack that compromised several thousand legitimate websites, including a few catalogue pages from Apple's iTunes music store.
A 25 March 2011 report showed that Spotify, a Luxembourg-based digital-music service, was hit by malware distributed through a third-party ad network. Malicious advertisements being displayed on the free version of Spotify, which is ad-supported, were dropping Trojans and other types of malware onto users' computers.
Another common blended attack uses Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks combined with phishing emails. For example, a bank's website is taken down by a DDoS attack and shortly afterward the bank's customers receive emails apologising for the inconvenience, directing them to an "emergency site", of course fake and malicious.
Blended attacks rising in the mobile environment
One example of such blended attacks was Zeus MitMo, a virus discovered in October 2010. This malware was developed to defraud online banking customers, specifically those who had begun using a second channel (the mobile phone) to receive a one-time authentication code for increased internet security in online banking transactions. Developed to run on Symbian and BlackBerry platforms, the malware tricked the mobile user into installing it on his or her mobile phone, and then forwarded any authentication code sent by the bank to the attackers, who then had all the information they needed to empty the account.
At the beginning of 2011, one mobile phone service operator lost $10 million in just a few days. Thousands of its subscribers received messages that looked like genuine missed call alerts, and many of them called the number and received a voice message saying the number was busy and to call back later. What they did not know was that they were calling an international satellite phone service at $4 per minute.
By the time the customers received their bills and started to complain, as standard procedure the operator had already paid the satellite company on behalf of its customers, and so had to issue customer refunds out of its own coffers, leaving it with a huge loss.

Rated 5 out of 5 by handbagbootlover Elegant flat
The presentation whenever I receive an item from TB is lovely and this was no exception. This flat is so pretty and elegant. I purchased the tan. It's very neutral so it goes with everything. The bow is gorgeous and will make my sporty style feminine. I usually take a 9 in Reva's however, the 9 was too short due to the scrunching of the flat. I'm waiting on the exchange to 9.5 and can't wait to wear them.

kool-aid lip gloss
Disclaimer - please try this craft at your own risk. I had absolutely no trouble making this, but so many of my readers who have tried it have not had success. I don't like anyone wasting their time or money on crafts and I understand how frustrating that can be. Please know if you try this out, it may or may not work for you. I really can't figure out why it has worked for some and not for others.
UPDATE: I think some of my fabulous readers figured out the secret. Here's a couple of their comments and hopefully you too will have success!
Jenelle posted - I've figured it out!!!!! The kool-aid disolving problem is a result of the liquid being way too hot. When you heat (whether over the stove like I did, or in the microwave as others have suggested), wait for it to cool until it's almost getting solid again. Kool-aid cooks when its too hot - it must be just barely warm, luke warm, or cool to disolve properly. I found this out by mistake, as my first batch did not work. The second, I realized the scientific issue and waited for my melted jelly to nearly cool again before mixing in the kool-aid - and wa-la - lip gloss. Please pass this along. I truly am certain this is the key and the major caveat that should be included in this recipe. :-)
Kimberlyann posted - Hey there, I made a batch tonight with great success. I think the secret is ... stirring! I used Wal*Mart brand Kool-Aid and Vaseline and I only ended up microwaving the jelly for a total of five minutes. Between each 30 burst I stirred and stirred, and when it just began to get hot, I stirred until it liquified. Then, I left it to cool for a few minutes (it was room temperature, but still liquid) before stirring in the Kool-Aid. Thanks so much for the idea, and thanks to the other commenters for the tips!
Thank-you so much for the tips ladies!!
Chapped lips are in full swing at my house this time of year, so Kirsten and I decided to make our own lip gloss. We made them just in time for Valentine's day too, so we can give some away to our special friends. I bought small lip gloss containers and made up some labels using my stellar graphic design skills - lol! They aren't anything fancy, but I'll share them here in case anyone else wants to make some of these. This is really easy using only 2 ingredients - vaseline and kool-aid. We used cherry and strawberry kool-aid and they turned out fantastic. This was a lot of fun, is great for their lips, and tastes pretty good too. The cherry flavour even has a little tint to it. I've been using it myself! Here's how we made them:
What you'll need:
1 tub petroleum jelly (vaseline)
1 pkg of kool-aid drink crystals - whatever flavour you want, or you can make a few
lip gloss containers
labels printed out on sticker paper
scissors or 1 inch paper punch
1. put about 1 cup vaseline in a microwave safe bowl
2. heat the vaseline in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring between each heating. It took me about 7-8 minutes to melt each batch of vaseline. It will be liquid when it is fully melted. It will be very hot! Make sure you wear gloves or oven mitts and make sure children are being supervised.
3. take out of microwave and stir in kool-aid drink crystals until desired colour is reached - I used the whole package for each batch. Stir until the crystals are completely dissolved.
4. if starting to solidify you can heat again for another 30 seconds - skip this step if it is still liquidy
5. pour into your lip gloss containers and leave to solidify - a couple hours
6. repeat this whole process if making more flavours
7. print out labels on sticker paper
8. using either a 1 inch punch, or scissors, cut out the circle labels and attach to your lip gloss container
9. give to all your favourite people, but remember to save a few for yourself too!

Love it - Please don't be upset with me for sharing this comment - but there is a non toxic version of vaseline (petroleum free) called alba un-petroluem jelly - it is perfect for what you are making and won't need to be microwaved for the right consistency either. which makes the vaseline even more toxic.
I wrote a book on health and knowing children will be using this I want others to be aware of the dangers of regular lip gloss and balms.
This is an awesome gift and they look so pretty!!!! Love the photo of your daughter!
Hugs and love - JillThanks ladies!
Shelia - was the vaseline liquid before you put the kool-aid in? The vaseline must be liquid. This takes a long time. I remember thinking that the vaseline was never going to melt and then all of a sudden it did. Make sure you're taking it out of the microwave every 30 seconds or so and giving it a stir. It's when I stirred it that it turned liquid. Then the kool-aid should dissolve completely. I hope that helps!I made these and I just love them. I have made more for all my sisters/mum and friends for xmas! I also added concealer to some (for nude coloured lips) and broken eye shadows/blushes for stronger pinks! RE: using coconut oil I think it wouldn't be stable, coconut oil if warmed (in hands, or in a car or in the summer) will always turn back into liquid! Thanks for the tutorial :D
ReplyDeleteI just made my first batch and I couldn't get the Kool-aid to dissolve either :( It just settled on the bottom and on the end of my spoon. I used regular Kool-aid, unsweetened, straight out of the package. I'm just kinda wondering if I should just try my hand at mixing the Kool-aid into unheated jelly. It will be a work out, but maybe it will all mix in....?
ReplyDeleteHi ladies!
I honestly don't know why so many people are having problems with this and then so many are not. I've only made it twice, but both times I had no problems. It did take a very long time for the vaseline to melt completely, but once it did, the kool-aid dissolved beautifully and it definitely didn't blow up my microwave. I feel so bad that some people are having trouble with this and I honestly don't know what the answer is.....I just found little containers at Sally Beauty Supply. I think they are to hold nail stuff but they are a good little size. They were $5.99 for 10. The ones that Jill uses are cuter, these have a clear lid but I'll put the sticker on them so it won't be too bad. I'm going to make these tonight so we'll see. I'm excited to try them!
ReplyDeleteUpdate on the lip gloss. I LOVE it! 1 cup of vaseline was too much for 1 packet of Kool-Aid. I'll do maybe 3/4 cup next time. There is a nice shade of purple to the gloss but no flavor. It all melted and desolved perfectly. Just that one minor adjustment. Also, I'm going to add glitter to the next batch for my daughter's 6th birthday party favors.
Thanks again Jill! Love these!Light unto my path - I am beyond thrilled that it worked out for you. Quite a few people have had trouble with it. I found the cherry flavor had a nice tint and had a nice cherry flavor too. The strawberry wasn't as strong as the cherry was.
TarynArnette - use the single packs with no sugarJust finished making these! My only problem was getting the crystals to dissolve, any tips? I kinda wondered about using a couple drops of water to activate the crystals and then mix that in? OR I wonder if it just wasnt hot enough, all the vaseline did melt and was watery but the crystals just wouldnt give...and I stirred for ever.I also used little storage containers from Michaels that people use to store their jewelry beads...a set of 9 for like $3...they are clear plastic, the same size and close tightly. I just bought cute LIP stickers and put it on the lid, very cute! I love the way they turned out. :)
ReplyDeleteI couldn't get my koolaid to dissolve either and it turned the lipgloss grey - (I used grape flavour)lol...I think I'll forego the koolaid altogether and just add some grapefruit essential oil or peppermint.
I also stopped using my microwave and opted to use the stove (worked perfect). Because after about 5 minutes in the microwave the Vaseline wasn't melting and the inside of my microwave was getting really, really hot!
Great idea to tweak though!!! Thanks so much! :)Hi ladies!
I'm so frustrated that some of you are having trouble getting the crystals to dissolve and some of you aren't. I have no idea why this is happening!! I've only made them twice, but I never had a problem either.
Melting the vaseline on the stove is a brilliant idea. If I make these again, I'll definitely do it that way versus the microwave. Thanks for the tip.You said you used 5 oz containers, all I'm finding online is 5 grams... that is probably too small? I live in a small city without a nice craft shop to just run to... if I can't find it online I'll have to wait till I go to the city. Do you have the link or name of the seller you got your jars from in case they still have more to sell?
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm having the same problem as a lot of other ladies here. I used 1 cup of Vaseline as you stated, and one packet of Strawberry Kool-Aid. The Kool- Aid crystals won't melt, and it is not a pretty pink color. It's dark purple! I guess I'll try making it with peppermint extract instead.
ReplyDeleteOh Kathryn! THANK YOU your comment, perfect timing! I just bought two tubs of coconut oil to use for making homemade lotion for Christmas gifts, and only used a little bit. So now I have a lot of extra, and didn't know what to do with it! Since the Vaseline didn't work out for me when I tried making this lip gloss (for Christmas gifts also), now I can try with the left over coconut oil! yay! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies!
Another reader (Lara) thought the coconut oil might now work because it will always turn back into a liquid if it gets warm (like in hot weather, in your car, etc.). I have never used it myself so I really don't know.
Just for the record, I did use a cheaper store brand vaseline, and not the vaseline brand itself. I wonder if that made a difference?My kool-aid didn't dissolve. I bought Walmart brand petroleum jelly and it didn't work so then I bought Vaseline brand and it didn't work either. My strawberry flavor also turned dark purple.... I'm wondering if jello will work since it dissolves in hot liquid... i'm going to try it tonight, I'll let you know how it goes.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know Sarah! I'm getting so frustrated with this. It doesn't even make sense why it's working for some and not for others????
stjoechic - the cherry one had a very slight tint and the strawberry was pretty clear. If you're looking for more tint when there's a comment above by Lara said she used broken eyeshadows/blushes and it gave it a great tint.Hi, just tried this. Twice. I had no problems melting the vaseline, but couldn't get the kool-aid to dissolve :(
I tried a second batch and added a couple drops of water to the kool-aid before adding to the vaseline. That didn't work either. Oil and water don't mix...I remember that now. :) Oh well, I'm glad it worked for some.Well, I just tried these ! Some things went right but others did not so much... I melted the vasoline (name Brand) on the stove. It melted really fast... I used the whole container(small one) and then I added a whole package of Cherry Kool-Aid.( Sugar Free,Caffeine free)The Kool-Aid did not dissolve at first, so I dissolved some kool-aid in water and then added just a little bit of the mixture to the melted vasoline. I then took it off the heat and let it sit on the stove covered for about 30 minutes. After 30 minutes I stirred the mixture and it blended very well. Although the water does not mix with the vasoline so I had little water pockets everywhere. I drained as much water as I could but there is still some water pockets in the mix. All together they turned out well, other than I should not have added water. The only problem that I had was the smell ! I think it kind of stinks but my husband says that it smells like Kool-Aid. The only tip I can give all those who's Kool-Aid did not dissolve is to mix Kool-aid while hot and then let it sit for a little bit and then mix again. Mine came out really red, and you should wear gloves if you do not want your hands to be red!
ReplyDeleteI just gave it a try and I couldnt get the kool aid to dissolve either. I think that by doing it on the stove makes the vaseline too hot which is why it keeps happening to everyone. The microwave method may be the way to go even though its a longer process but at least in the end you have lip gloss!
ReplyDeleteMy post didn't want to show up so sorry if this is a re-peat post.
It didn't work for me either. Tried all the ways listed. However here is what I treid and it worked.
I disolved the koolaid with 1-2 drops of water in a dish. Didn't take much at all. I then mixed a few drops of this in with the vasaline and stirred to desired color. I then heated this mixture in the microwave for 1min then another 30 seconds, depending on how much I had in the dish. I only did this until melted and easy to pour into my containers. I found a pkg of 2 colored contatiners at Walmart in the travel section for only 97cents for a okg of 2.I also had the same problem with the crystals not dissolving AT ALL! This was very frustrating! I even tried putting it in a bowl inside of some water on the stove so I could continuously stir and mix, but I got the same results. The color did blend slightly but I really don't recommend doing this. It was a HUGE waste of my money and time!
ReplyDeleteLadies, I really am sorry that this is not working out for so many of you. I can totally understand how frustrating this must be. It's completely frustrating for me because I had absolutely no problems. Worked on the first try and the kool-aid crystals dissolved immediately. Now, I am Canadian, is Canadian kool-aid possibly different that the U.S. kind? But it did work for some other commenters on here and I don't think they were all Canadian. Hmmm. I really am at a loss.
ReplyDeleteI added a disclaimer to the top of this post to hopefully warn others that it might not be successful. To those that have had success, I'm thrilled! To those that haven't, I'm so sorry. I wish I had answers. I'm actually on vacation coming up soon and plan to try this again. I'm really perplexed.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it's the additives in either the Kool-aid or the Vaseline that is making the difference. There may be regional differences in the formula for each item. I do know that different brands of each have different additives. Different flavors/brands of Kool-aid have different chemicals in the form of flavorings/dyes to give it the flavor/color it has. Perhaps that's where the problems are coming in.
ReplyDeleteInteresting theory Darlene. I had never thought of that. Someone at my work also mentioned it could have something to do with the humidity and that changes the consistency of the kool-aid.
Six Dazzling Gems - it would depend on the amount of vaseline you use. Basically spoon out as much vaseline as you need to fill the containers you have. Once it solidifies it will be the same amount.
Kaytlyn - awesome and I really wish you luck!ok. I just got brave and made a batch..SUCCESS!!
Microwave at 30 sec increments worked great. I also added 2 red candy melts into the melted vaseline and strawberry koolaid..added a touch of sweetness. I found pill containers at Dollar General (2pk for $1)Definitely will try this again! Wishing success to others that try.I've figured it out!!!!! The kool-aid disolving problem is a result of the liquid being way too hot. When you heat (whether over the stove like I did, or in the microwave as others have suggested), wait for it to cool until it's almost getting solid again. Kool-aid cooks when its too hot - it must be just barely warm, luke warm, or cool to disolve properly. I found this out by mistake, as my first batch did not work.

Then, I left it to cool for a few minutes (it was room temperature, but still liquid) before stirring in the Kool-Aid. Thanks so much for the idea, and thanks to the other commenters for the tips!
ReplyDeleteI posted that mine didn't work. I let it sit on my counter for a while and after it set it looked pretty good. About a week after first making it I reheated it and then put in the containers and it worked really well. Not sure if it just needed some more time to dissolve. It doesn't look as good as Jill's but it turned out much better than my first batch.
ReplyDeleteI just finished making this. Super easy, I had no trouble. I made two different batches -- one batch of strawberry (turned a dark purple-ey color, mild sour flavor, doesn't show on lips) and pink lemonade (really nice shade of pink, doesn't show on lips, also has a mild sour flavor). They both went great. I was going to follow Kimberlyann's instructions but I mixed it up a bit. I will give directions for what I did for both. By the way, I found my lip gloss containers at my local CVS Pharmacy... it was a variety pack (I think I need to find a recipe for hand sanitizer or lotion now, lol!) and included 15 assorted things, so it was a bit more expensive (9.99). I had eight lip gloss containers, in three different sizes, so I made do, and mixed with the measurements a bit.
Strawberry - I eyeballed 1/2 a cup of CVS brand Vaseline into a plastic bowl. I put in the microwave for 1 minute intervals. Once I saw it start to melt, I stirred it every minute until it was nice and liquid-y. This was 7.5 minutes on high. Next, I took it out of the microwave and dumped half the bag of Kool-Aid in. I stirred it up, and was planning on adding more, but it was already a pretty purple-ey color, so I decided to leave it. While it was still melt-y, I spooned it into the containers, filling them about 7/8 of the way. I let them each sit for 1 minute, and then screwed the lid on. I then just let them sit for a few minutes. And tada! - I had strawberry lip balm!!
Pink Lemonade - I followed about the same thing except added a bit more Vaseline (I was using the bigger of the eight containers this batch), which was 3/4 of a cup. This one took 9.5 minutes on high.
I hope this helps... and that other people have the success I did!!
KennedyThanks for the tips Kennedy! I am beyond delighted that people are finally posting their success stories.

My daughters and I JUST made this! I used Up & Up (Target Brand) petroleum jelly and package of Sugar Free Strawberry Kool-Aid. Do you think people were having problems because it wasn't sugar free? I heated it in the microwave at 30 second intervals, it didn't take any time at all...maybe 4 times. I didn't compleltely disolve it down to liquid liquid form. It stirred easiy, and nothing was on my fork when I added the packet of Kool-Aid. It did turn purple, but we don't care! Sitting on counter now cooling. I bought something called "Cupettes" I found them at AC Moore came in a 16 pack. They are 1/5 cup size (think take out ketchup tubs), but they are heavy duty plastic and held up to the heat of the jelly. This recipe made 5 full ones. Me & my girls are very happy with this and will definitely try more flavors! Thank you!!
I just made my first batch using regular cherry kool aid and store brand vaseline. I got 99 cent containers at the container store. They are clear and have a hinged lid that snaps shut. A bit pricey, but I want to give a lot of gifts and 99 cents plus cost of ingredients is still very minimal per person. These containers are more the size of a single lip balm you would buy. I did not melt my vaseline all the way, either, just got it warm and almost pourable. I used a plastic knife and sort of guided it into each container. I tapped each one down to get out air bubbles and have the mixture lay flat. I can't wait until tomorrow to see if they set up nicely! Thanks for all of the hints everyone!
ReplyDeleteyea I can't get this to work no matter what method I try and I've read ever single comment listed here. I've used store brand and real brand vaseline. I've even seen vids on youtube from mothers doing it with their children and just bam it works. but nothing I do or what brands I use will work. so sad cuz I was going to use this as my pay it forward gift I am doing this year. I do highly suggest anyone that tries this do it at your own risk. I did and it didn't work so I'm not here to "yell" just to let people know that it works or it doesn't. Guess I'll have to stick with the old fashion way and not the quick and easy. Well thank you for the idea at least and I'm glad that it works for some people.
ReplyDeleteOh noooooo, Tamran! I thought everyone was having success now that we had figured out the vaseline couldn't be too hot. I even made some more and posted them on my blog last week - this time using cocoa for chocolate lip gloss. I had no problems and even photograped the process. That is so frustrating. I'm so sorry!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry Mama in Montana! I really thought we had resolved the issue, but I guess some people are still having trouble. I just made some last month, using cocoa powder instead of kool-aid, and took pictures and everything and posted them on my blog. I had no problems again. It's so frustrating to me that others are having difficulty. I'm sorry!
ReplyDeleteHey Jill, so, I followed the revised directions (microwave, not too hot, lots of stirring, etc.) but my Kool-Aid didn't dissolve either - it was gritty and kind of gross. So I heated the whole mess on the stove and it got pretty warm but was still gritty - but this time the grit sunk to the bottom and I had coloured Vaseline on top. I strained it off into a glass measuring cup and poured it directly into my containers (mine were 1 oz craft storage containers I bought at the dollar store - 9 for $1.25!) and they look just fine (Mine made about 20 1-oz containers. It is a light purple colour, although the final six were a slightly different, darker pink colour, and the colour separated slightly into small red dots suspended in the Vaseline, but it looks kind of cool. I just looked, and the cooled, leftover lip-gloss in the measuring cup mixed the colour in now, so it's a nice, even pink colour, but it would definitely be hard to put in smaller containers now that it's set up.) So, overall, I think we'll call that success, though it took a lot longer than I anticipated! I used brand-name Vaseline, and cherry Kool-Aid (unsweetened), for the record. I also threw in 1 tsp of peppermint extract, though I'd likely add more next time. Thanks for the fun idea! Am using these in the goody bags for my daughter's 6th birthday party on Friday.
ReplyDeleteHey-I just wanted to post that we tried this out tonight. So big time crafter and DIY person. So had to throw my own twist into things. I make the homemade choc. candies etc. So I used my candy melter. It doest get to hot to fast and it never boils etc. So the vaseline melted just right and evenly. I used cherry koolaid. It came out purple. But it set to pink-go figure I dunno. Anyhoo-my daughter and I tried it on tonight and wa-la. Perfect. Thanks for the idea. And we Love it. Gonna do other flavors at a later date and this just might be the new DIY Christmas Smarts Gift that we get everyone every year :)
ReplyDeleteThank you sweet Jill for this & thank you more for taking the time to answer the comments & sharing the stories...
I'll be trying it with the jello packets soon (as a lady suggested), but just wondering is the "Kool-Aid" something like "Tang" & "Foster Clark's", I mean those "instant flavoured drink powder"...?RepliesThanks Lobna! Kool-aid would be similar to Tang (I've never heard of Foster Clark's). The difference is that I used a small packet of kool-aid without all the sugar added. I think drink mixes like Tang have all the sugar added already?? Let me know if you try. I would be very interested to know if it works. Thanks!
I showed a group of girls (about 12 of them ages 12-17) how to make this lip gloss last night, they loved it. I bought the petroleum jelly at the 98c store along with small containers which came with 10 in each bag. The mix was a generic but dissolved just fine (12 packs for 98c). My only complaint is the mix didn't have a color when mixed, which I am pretty sure is why it was generic. I emptied a container of petroleum in a bowl, microwaved it for 30 seconds, stir well, 30 more seconds and then I put the jelly in the little containers and let the girls add whatever flavor they wanted. They had a blast and I am sure will be making more on their own. Thank you so much, I had fun teaching the girls. I included a very cute poem I found with the lesson. Will do again!
ReplyDeleteI had my 8 year old daughter and her BFF make these this afternoon. So much fun! They loved them! They made pineapple (which has a light orange hue to it), grape (dark purple) and cherry/tropical punch (light red).
Thanks for the great idea!!!Love this! Made it with my daughter and we are planning to make it at her Tinkerbell slumber party this weekend. I found the perfect thing for melting the Vaseline....quickly and evenly. A candle plate warmer....they are used for jar candles and I found one at WalMart for $5. It melted a large amount of Vaseline in about 15 minutes without me having to do anything (I just put it in a glass jar to melt it. It was fabulous. I also added edible glitter to ours for a shimmer, we got the powdered glitter so it wasn't gritty. And I also found the perfect "pots" - contact cases! Each little girl will get to make two flavors and it's the perfect little amount for 5-year-olds.
ReplyDeleteA cousin of mine gave me your website because i am always using lip gloss! I loved this so much that I shared it with my readers on my blog.
ReplyDeleteI made two batches tonight for my daughter's "spa themed" birthday party favors. I was going to have it be a craft on the day of the party but figured since it involved heating things up and since it wasn't fool-proof, I'd better just make them for part of the favors! All in all, it came out great, but I had a couple of minor issues....the Walmart brand of petroleum jelly has a flower-y smell to it, so that isn't appealing to the lips! I still used it, hoping the smell would be masked by the kool aid but it wasn't. We used strawberry lemonade but it was essentially colorless. I was hoping for a pink color, oh well! We also used strawberry which turned out purple. I don't think I've ever made kool aid--does the strawberry usually turn out purple or is it some sort of a reaction to the petroleum jelly? I thought that was a bit odd!! We had no problems heating it up in the microwave. I did 30 second intervals and probably only heated it for about 3 minutes total. Thank you for all of the tips and pointers!!
ReplyDeleteRepliesThanks for your feedback! My strawberry turned out pretty clear (as you can see from the picture), but it still smelled pretty good. The cherry turned out better for me. That's so strange that your strawberry turned purple!! I hope it still tasted okay. Even though it's purple, I don't think it would leave a purple color on the girl's lips. It's pretty sheer with just a tint of color. I hope the girls still liked it!
I am thinking Raw Shea Butter might be a good alternative to vaseline. This would knock out the need to microwave as it has a low melt temp and it is non-toxic
ReplyDeleteI have looked everywhere (Jo-Ann Fabrics, Micheals, Walmart, Hobby Lobby, Dollar Tree) and I cannot find any type of little container similar to yours. Where did you find these??? thanks, I really want to make these, and if they turn out as cute and yummy as everyone says, they will be perfect little stocking stuffers....HELP!!!
ReplyDeleteI also want to try it with vanilla cappucino mix and a teeny bit of brownish eyeshadow to add a hint of color...anyone try this yet??
ReplyDeleteHi Jill,
These are great! I cannot wait to make them for my daughters party! I was unable to open the link for the labels though-any way you can email it to me please? Thanks!!RepliesI sure can, but you need to leave me your email address. Thanks!
I would like the labels as well. How can I send you my email address?
What size jars did you use?
Thanks!Sure I can, if the link above isn't working for you. The link does work for most people though - did you try the links yet?

LED Dimmers
- View products
- Overview
About LED Dimmer Switches
LED technology has taken the world by storm over the last few years, providing better products with a higher efficiency rating than ever before. Currently LED technology saves up to 80% on lighting costs. With an LED Dimmer Switch, you will have additional control at your fingertips to allow for even more efficiency. By dimming your LED dimmable light bulbs, you are then further reducing the electrical usage while having the desired light level you prefer.
In order to have a proper functioning dimmable LED lighting setup, you must have a compatible LED dimmer switch that will dim your LED bulbs without flicker, color change, or damage to the light bulb. At Westside Wholesale, we stock a good selection of LED dimmer switches that are suitable for retrofit or new construction and will provide long lasting reliable dimming of your eco-friendly LED light bulbs.
Increased Efficiency and cost reduction
Dimmer switches have been used for many years to optimize the lighting levels of any room. As the lighting changes throughout the day, different lighting levels are needed to give the quality lighting you desire. LED dimmer switches connect to your standard 110V line voltage, and use only the amount of energy needed to produce the desired amount of light. So, wasted light and wasted expense is no longer an issue.
Available LED Dimmer Switches
The following dimmer switches are available to retrofit your existing dimmers to work with dimmable LED light bulbs:
- Lutron DVCL-153 Series LED Dimmer Switch (available in many colors) – Specifically designed to dim LED and CFL lamps smoothly without flicker and color change. The Lutron DVCL-153 will allow you to get the full life out of your LED light bulbs.

You can enjoy your meals while making small adjustments to the amounts of food on your plate. Healthy meals start with more vegetables and fruits and smaller portions of protein and grains. And don't forget dairy; include fat-free or low-fat dairy products on your plate, or drink milk with your meals. The first thing we need to do is get to know the foods you eat. Use the Super Tracker at www.choosemyplate.gov then click Super Tracker to find out what kinds of foods and how much to eat and get tips and support for making better food choices.
Take your time, be mindful to eat slowly, enjoy the taste and texture, and pay attention to how you feel. Use hunger and fullness cues to recognize when you've had enough. Use a smaller plate to help with your portions. That way you can finish your entire plate. This is what I have been doing for the past 15 years. Believe me it works. If you eat out choose healthier options and check and compare nutrition information about the foods you are eating.
Choose to eat some foods more or less often, and cut back on foods high in solid fats, added sugars and salt. Then find out what you need to personalize your plan by comparing the foods you eat to the foods you need to eat. Sip smarter and drink water, skim milk or other calorie-free drinks when you are thirsty. Compare foods to see what foods are higher in calories and saturated fats and choose the ones that can be left out. Satisfy your sweet tooth in a healthy way. Indulge in naturally sweet deserts such as fruits. Choose a fruit cocktail or baked apples and top with cinnamon. Treats are not an every day food, but are great once in a while. Just don't make treats an everyday choice. Limit sweet treats to special occasions. Try these tips and you will be well on your way to a healthier you in 2013.

Reviews Matter – Make an Informed Buying Decision
There is nothing wrong with boosting your online credibility, taking into full swing your marketing momentum while social media is still scorching hot. As trends go, some last but most do not. Just like companies encouraging internet users to buy Twitter followers, YouTube views, Facebook fans and other online products that can help increase social media credibility.
With these services popping out of nowhere, almost every day, consumers are caught unawares by scammers out to rip them off. Thus, we decided to create a review site that aims to:
- Protect consumers from fly-by-night companies that swindle money.
- Ensure that consumers get the best service in terms of quality product, great customer support, on-time delivery and reasonable pricing.
- Get consumer feedback to reinforce opinion about a certain product or company, whether they are bogus or reliable.
- Assess websites, buy their products and test their customer support to have first-hand experience about their services.
As a result from set criteria (product, customer support, guarantee, delivery, onsite content, testimonials, customer feedback, etc.), BuyTwitterFollowers.org has ranked the top websites offering the best quality social media support service.
*Rankings are grouped into categories based on services.

How they work
No Password Required
Services that do not require passwords most likely deliver company controlled accounts. Companies often keep a database of inactive social media accounts they use to follow clients. These accounts do not or rarely interact with you. They are best suited to consumers who only want to increase online social credibility or popularity through big follower or view count without actually having fake accounts.
Disadvantage: They never interact with you so you can't expect social media engagement.
Advantage: They can't unfollow and you don't necessarily need to follow back.
Password Required
Services that require password from clients provide real and active social following. They use the "follow-first method" wherein the company uses your account for the duration of the campaign to follow social accounts with the highest potential to follow back. They later on unfollow some of these accounts to even out the ratio between follower and following count.
If you get lucky, you might be able to convert some of these followers or fans to buyers.
Disadvantage: It takes longer because companies can only follow a set number of social accounts daily. Twitter, for one, has red alert radar for users who aggressively follow several accounts in one day.
Giving your password also has risk, especially when you trust the wrong service provider.
Advantage: You will get active followers and fans that will boost your engagement status within these social networks. You also have the chance to convert these followers to become clients.
Bot-Generated Accounts
Let us not fool ourselves. Your suspicions are right. Most service providers deliver bot-generated accounts. These companies buy software that generates names, usernames using proxy IP addresses. This type of software scrapes information and pictures from random accounts. Some would even replicate profiles.
Advantage:Boost your fan, view or follower count quickly, thus, providing you the kick-start for acquiring online presence and credibility.
Disadvantage: You will have fake followers that lower your credibility in the long haul. You also get zero engagement.

According to a new study, social media may be used to fight the growing childhood obesity epidemic in our country. The scientific statement was published by a group of doctors within the American Heart Association. Our Brad Vivacqua reports.
A group of doctors with the AHA evaluated research on Internet based interventions to lose weight, increase physical activity, and improve eating habits. The doctors put together a scientific statement that suggests social media and online interaction may help create better habits.
For example, children and teens who are overweight can encourage one another online to eat more vegetables or join an exercise group.
Social media websites such as the American Heart Association's Facebook page can help be a motivator as well.
"Social media provides a place for information, intervention, and support. That's one of the biggest things. Interaction between the kids and the group, and counselors, maybe doctors that get involved. That interaction provides maybe a self monitoring for the kids and support as well," said Kristy Smorol, American Heart Association Communications Director.
Remember, the American Heart Association recommends that kids and teens get at least 150 minutes of exercise each week.
The full scientific statement is published in the AHA's online journal "Circulation."
Parents, doctors, and counselors are also encouraged to get more involved to use social media to help children and teens overcome obesity.

Aerospace suppliers' dreams come trueArea companies see robust activity from new Boeing plane's popularity
By GINGER CHRIST 4:30 am, December 3, 2012
When it comes to Boeing Co.'s new 787 aircraft — the Dreamliner — manufacturers in Northeast Ohio are on board.
Parker's greater role also holds the potential of more opportunity for Ohio manufacturers to be part of the Dreamliner supply chain.
Ohio is particularly well positioned to serve the Dreamliner, Mr. Heil said, because the plane is 50% comprised of composites rather than largely constructed with metals. And Ohio is known for its high concentration of polymer companies, he said.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. >> It was a feel-good story while it lasted: Harvard quarterback gets the Buffalo Bills off to a surprising start and is rewarded with lucrative contract extension.
A year later, Ryan Fitzpatrick needs to only look at his inconsistent production and losing record to understand why the national attention and colorful "Fitz-Magic" references have disappeared, replaced instead by questions about his immediate future.
And general manager Buddy Nix didn't need to go public last week in expressing a desire to draft a "franchise quarterback" in order to get Fitzpatrick's attention.
"I understand what happens in the NFL. I understand that it's a performance-based business," Fitzpatrick said Wednesday, noting the two had a long chat in the GM's office. "For quarterbacks, you have to win games or else."
That now becomes the challenge for the eighth-year NFL journeyman and former seventh-round draft pick, who remains upbeat even while appreciating that he's running out of chances to prove himself.
"I'm confident. I know there's a lot of doubt outside," Fitzpatrick said. "I'm the guy. I'm the guy that's supposed to turn this thing around. And you know, we've still got eight games to do it."
The Bills (3-5) and Fitzpatrick find themselves at a crossroad in preparing to play at AFC East rival New England (5-3), where Buffalo's lost 11 straight.
Buffalo finds itself in the familiar position of falling out of the playoff race entirely, and potentially extending its postseason drought to 13 seasons.
As for Fitzpatrick, he's lacked the swagger he possessed in getting the Bills off to a 5-2 start last year. It was a run that included the quarterback rallying the team from double-digit deficits to beat Oakland and New England on consecutive weekends.
Since signing a six-year, $59 million contract extension last October, he's gone 4-13 while throwing 25 touchdowns and 25 interceptions and losing three fumbles. Continued...
Not all of the blame falls on him. Injuries have taken a toll. Fitzpatrick showed perseverance in playing with a severe chest injury for much of the final half of last season. It hasn't helped that the burden has been placed on the offense to score in bunches to offset a defense that's allowed an average 31 points over its past 17 games.
And yet, Fitzpatrick is being faulted for a growing string of inefficient outings that have carried over into this year.
His three interceptions against the Jets all led to touchdowns in a 48-28 season-opening loss. And then there was Fitzpatrick's underthrown pass that was picked off at midfield with 1:54 left that set up the decisive touchdown in a 35-34 loss to Tennessee three weeks ago.
Though he's been far more efficient in his past four games (two interceptions and two lost fumbles), the Bills have gone 1-3 and combined for just 65 points.
"I'm not going to sit here and say I've played great by any stretch of the imagination," Fitzpatrick said. "I think I've just got to continue to stick with it. I do think I feel more comfortable."
Coach Chan Gailey said Fitzpatrick's inconsistencies have mirrored those of his entire team. As for assessing whether Fitzpatrick's long-term future is in question, Gailey said that's something to discuss after the season.
"That's not even right to talk about," he said. "Everybody goes out and does the best they can, and then you evaluate everything when you get to the end of the year."
Tight end Scott Chandler has no doubt Fitzpatrick has what it takes.
"We're not worried about him. We're behind him 100 percent," Chandler said. "We believe in him. And we believe we're going to turn this thing around, get it going in the right direction and finish this season strong."
Fitzpatrick is 18-28 in three-plus seasons with the Bills. He took over the starting job three weeks into the 2010 season after Trent Edwards was benched and then cut the following week. Continued...
After splitting his first four seasons between St. Louis and Cincinnati, Fitzpatrick understands starting opportunities such as these don't come along often — and many times never for seventh-round draft picks.
This could well be now or never for him.
"For me, it's not like I get a shot at this, and if it doesn't work out I can go somewhere else and do the same thing," Fitzpatrick said. "This is my shot. This is everything that I've worked for. And I know that it's either going to work here or that's going to be it in terms of being able to be the guy."

Play Video: Kur Soy Candle
I love the Kur candles and use them regularly during my massage sessions. I use the calming blend most often. My clients love it! The price is great, and they have just the right level of aroma.
These candles are the best. I use them at work doing massage therapy. I've had people ask me to please blow out or not light other candles as they are offensive. I've only had one person ask me to please blow out the Kur candle. They are very subtle and pleasing, last a long time and aren't expensive.
