Step Five: It’s time to unmold your DIY gradient soap bars! WOW!

Supplies: clear & white melt and pour soap, non-bleeding colorants (you will need at least 2 for the gradient effect), rectangular silicone soap mould, fragrance oil, spray bottle filled with rubbing alcohol microwave safe bowl, spoon and knife, slim book to use as a riser

Step 1: Cut up 1/2 cup of clear soap and melt it for 15-20 seconds in the microwave. Stir and microwave again if needed to just melt the soap but don’t let it boil. Add your colorant (I used a tiny sliver of a solid block colorant, but a few drops of liquid colorant also works), and stir to combine.

Step 2: Tip your mold up using a slim book on each end, and pour your soap into 1 side of each rectangle mold until it reaches about 3/4 of the way to other side. Now spray rubbing alcohol to get rid of any air bubbles and smooth out soap. Repeat the rest of your soap and mould cavities. Let soap cool for 20 mins.

Step 3: Repeat melting and coloring step with another 1/2 cup of clear soap and new color. Remove book riser from under mold, spritz the soap with more rubbing alcohol, and pour in your next color on the opposite side of the first color until it comes about 3/4 of the way up on the first color.

Step 4 Part 1: Let your new layer of soap cool for 20 minutes. Once cool, cut up 3-4 cups of your white soap into 1″ chunks, and melt in the microwave in 20 second intervals until just melted. Stir to make sure all the pieces are melted, and then add in a few drops of your fragrance oil.

Step 4 part 2: Spritz the gradient soap in the mold with more rubbing alcohol and pour on your white soap until it reaches the top of the mold. Let this white soap cool over night or for at least a few hours.

The great thing about working in cable is that, since the season is truncated - we only do 12 shows - the writers are more at ease in terms of mapping out the trajectory of the story and the characters.

You can't improve on saying nothing.

I always said I wanted to be scientist, but I didn't really have the staying power.

For there to be a 'Community' movie just seems like an appropriate way for the show to go out. That would be my perfect end.

I've always wanted to do this, so it really is a dream come true.

The love of a mother is the veil of a softer light between the heart and the heavenly Father.

It gets to whether we're a teacher-education model or a movement for social justice. I would say we're about the latter.

You know, everyone is always talking about plastic surgery, or the technology, what to do. I really think it's important to help yourself with the technology if you want to feel better, but I am absolutely against any kind of monstrous cuts of the body, lifting that is beyond recognition, this kind of stuff.

What Whitney Houston has accomplished will never be accomplished. She's the most famous person on the planet as far as vocaling and her songs. So I'm very happy that I can sit here and say I had a chance to know her. And I'm still dazed that she's gone. But she lives because her music is so powerful.

One fifth of human kind depend on fish to live. Today now 70 percent of the fish stock are over-exploited. According to FAO if we don't change our system of fishing the main sea resources will be gone in 2050. We don't want to believe what we know.

What I'd say about that is that we must respect homosexuals in the church. I've got many homosexual friends, the issue is not in any way a homophobic reaction on my part.

Winning in Afghanistan is having a country that is stable enough to ensure that there is no safe haven for Al Qaida or for a militant Taliban that welcomes Al Qaida. That's really the measure of success for the United States.

'Never' is too much of a word. Nothing lasts forever.

The last thing I want to do is to make the mistakes of the past.

I am just absolutely convinced that the best formula for giving us peace and preserving the American way of life is freedom, limited government, and minding our own business overseas.

I've done everything I want to do and gone everywhere I want to go.

We all get paid very, very well, and we have responsibilities.

I never questioned I would have any trouble doing what I wanted to do. I'm not talking about getting to a certain position - or to success. It was just that I knew I wanted to act, and that I would make my living that way. Having the unconditional support of your parents is really freeing.

A boundary is really something artificial we made up. The ecosystem and landscape continue.

As you get older and wiser you realize that when people are given anything without having to earn it (unless they are physically or mentally utterly incapable of earning anything), they become ungrateful and lazy. They also become less happy.

I think it's important to remember that people don't set their lives on fire. They don't walk away from their extraordinarily, extraordinarily comfortable lives ... for no reason.

In a deeply tribal sense, we love our monsters, and I think that is the key to it right there. It is monsters; it is learning about them: it is both thrill and safety. You can think of them without being desperately afraid because they are not going to come into your living room and eat you. That is 'Jaws.'

I am a mortician who tells you that you don't necessarily need a mortician.

My favorite genre is comedy.
