Western community shocked by student's death on campus
May 19, 2012 | Officials responded by directing resources to Nash Hall, offering Counseling Center representatives for students and conducting a hall meeting with building residents, Coughlin said. Students lit candles in the fireplace lounge and proceeded to Red Square, where Crossan enjoyed skating, Bintorio said. After the incident, third floor Nash Hall residents immediately began collecting funds for a flower and candle memorial service. “We went around earlier this morning, knocking on doors and asking if anybody would like to pitch money to get some flowers and candles,” Bintorio said. “He was a nice guy,” said Nick Bintorio, a Nash Hall resident, “I don’t think I have ever not seen him not chill. The group gathered outside Old Main where they had a group hug and sang songs, Bintorio said. Eileen Coughlin, senior vice president for enrollment and student services, called an emergency meeting for Western officials shortly after the incident.

How do I remove melted wax, from a candle, from a stone fireplace mantel?
Jun 16, 2007 by Darling J
A home we recently bought has a great stone fireplace. Unfortunately, the last owners spilled candlewax on the stone mantel. We've tried a ton of different things to try and remove it, from stain removers to scraping. Any success stories out there? Ideas? Please share! Thanks!
I should mention the mantel is not painted, it's not polished, and it's very, very porous. Thanks!
If it's on a horizontal surface, you could try melting it off. hold a flame nearby (not close enough to leave black marks) and let the wax drip off as it melts. There's a cleaner they sell called Goo-Gone which might work too.
