A Roman candle is a traditional type of firework that ejects one or more stars or exploding shells. Roman candles come in a variety of sizes, from small 6mm (1/4") diameter for consumers, and up to 8cm (3") diameter in professional fireworks displays.
Roman candles originated in China, but first became popular during Italian Renaissance. They are banned in some countries, including the Netherlands and Finland, as they have a tendency to cause accidents due to users of the firework not knowing how to use them properly. Roman candles are illegal to possess and set off in the U.S. states of New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Rhode Island, and Delaware.
Construction and ignition
Roman candles are fireworks constructed with bentonite, lifting charge, pyrotechnic star, black powder, and delay charge. The device is ignited from the top, which should be pointed into the sky, away from people. The delay powder is packed tightly in the tube, so that the flame cannot reach around the sides of the plug of delay composition. It therefore burns slowly; as it is consumed, the flame moves down through the tube. When the flame reaches the topmost pyrotechnic star, the star is ignited. Because the star fits loosely in the tube, the fire spreads around it and ignites the lift charge. The lift charge burns quickly, propelling the star out of the tube. In doing so it also ignites the layer of delay powder beneath it, and the process repeats.
There are several variations on this:
Roman Candle is an indie rock band from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, composed of Skip Matheny, Logan Matheny and Timshel Matheny. They have released three studio albums, several touring EP's, toured extensively throughout the U.S. and Europe, and played in various other bands / live acts. Roman Candle was founded in 1997 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The band, who all attended UNC-Chapel Hill, recorded and performed there for 10 years before moving to Nashville, TN in 2008.
History
Roman Candle started playing shows around Chapel Hill, North Carolina in 1997. Most early shows involved (current band members) Skip and Logan Matheny and various musicians from around town sitting in. Eventually a regular lineup formed, including Skip's wife Timshel on fender rhodes and farfisa.
They sold over 400 copies of a self-released cd of demos in 2000 on consignment at Chapel Hill's SchoolKids Records, and signed to Trevor Pryce's Outlook Music Company in October 2001. When they signed their first record deal, Skip and Timshel were working in Portland Oregon as a forklift driver and a dishwasher at an art college (respectively).
Poland is a historical novel written by James A. Michener and published in 1983 detailing the times and tribulations of three Polish families (the Lubonski family, the Bukowski family, and the Buk family) across eight centuries, ending in the then-present day (1981).
Overview
Michener was hired by a television company to travel to a foreign country to shoot a documentary. He was offered support to go anywhere in the world and Michener decided to make the trip to Poland. Following this, Michener made several trips back to Poland and conducted extensive study of Poland's history and culture. He began writing the book in 1979 and it was published four years later.
Like Michener's other works, he includes an acknowledgments section at the beginning of the book; however due to the political turmoil in Poland at the time, Michener decided not to include the names of the people he traveled with for fear of persecutions against them. He writes: "Normally, as I have done in my other novels, I would list their names, their impressive occupations, their achievements in research and scholarship, but I cannot ascertain whether in the present climate this would hurt or help them."

Baby let's take a ride tonight, just you and me and the dancehall light. We'll ride out to Albuquerque and see what's waiting there for you and me. All of our friends have left this town and there ain't no reason to stay around unless you want to smoke weed and sit on the ground. Honey it ain't for me. Sometimes a whistling train will make me want to go. Sometimes it's music playing on my radio. Sometimes we gambled and the money never showed. But everyplace we end up seems to lead to one more road Let's ride on out to where the sand is white and the moon is high on the windowlight We'll watch while the nighttime see is pearled and walk outside and sleep on the world. When the sun comes up on are car so brown you'll look me up and I'll eye you down and we'll be grateful to the bones we're not waking up in the same old bed with the same old luck Sometimes a whistling train is warning in advance Sometimes it's music from another room by chance Sometimes in spite of everything that we've endeared The longer that we hang around the longer it gets weird. Baby let's take a ride tonight while the highway's got nobody in sight. We'll pull off to the side if we get tired, and we'll try to get fed or we'll try to get hired. I've got no desire to run on forever with a romanced hobo heart that tarries but i'm going to take this slot machine by the lever and hope that we pull down three big cherries. I've walked the spanish steps across the streets of Rome. We sat and listened while the old brown river flowed. All trying to find connection looking for a home, but every place we end up seems to lead to one more road. Sometimes a whistling train will make me want to go, Sometimes it's music playing on my radio. Oh baby doll in spite of all that we've endeared,
