*RN 98249 is listed on the dress but I don't believe this is the style – I cannot find it on the Demetrios webpage anymore because it was bought in 2010.
I visited several bridal shows before trying this dress on. It was way out of my budget at $1400, but unfortunately it was the one!!
Beautiful appliqué lace, simple A-line design, sweetheart neckline with beaded line on the top. The hem is cut to a specific length, made for someone approx. 5'5″. I would suggest that you pick out your shoes based on how the length falls. I wore shoes with about an inch heel and it feel to about 1-2 inches from the ground (picture is not how it falls, just a demonstration of the hem detail).
I can include the lace elbow-length veil I bought off Craigslist. It's in great shape too. Of course, only worn twice! (Me and the previous seller). The lace is actually white with silverish flowers but it so sheer it looks like it goes with the dress. I also have two cream flower clips from Etsy.
Taken in slightly around the bust area - I am an A cup. I also used stickies and it was loose so it would probably be fine for a B cup as well.
Professionally cleaned, not packaged in a box. Kept under plastic for 5 years. No signs of aging. However, one button is missing and another button is broken. I'm enclosing a set of 24 cream-colored lace buttons (dress has 20 button spots) I bought with which you could have just the two, or all of them replaced. They don't match the original ones exactly. If you'd like, I can go get the buttons all replaced by a tailor, but I will add the cost of the labor to the dress price. You may be able to get it done for less by including it with any other alteration work.


Episode 4: Lagered Tales, presented by Beau's. Featuring holiday gift ideas, diversity in beer, and how we helped change a law in Ontario.
In the fourth episode of Lagered Tales our co-founder and CEO at Beau's, Steve Beauchesne, talks to Ren Navarro, founder of Beer.Diversity about her work addressing the lack of diversity in the Canadian craft beer industry. Their discussion touches upon topics such as race, gender, representation, outdated tropes in beer marketing, and more.
The interview took place at the 2018 Ontario Craft Brewers Conference in Toronto, and in it Ren and Steve refer to a panel discussion, Building Diversity and Inclusion in Ontario Craft Brewing, which featured Ren, Tej Sandhu from Merit Brewing, and Travis Persaud from Collective Arts Brewing. The session was conducted by Beau's events manager, Marybeth McLaughlin.
In the episode's second feature, one of our producers, Patrick, sits down with Operation Come Home's executive director, Elspeth McKay, and Steve (separately) as they each recount the (exciting) story of having a law changed in Ontario in 2011, in the name of social enterprise!
Operation Come Home is an Ottawa-based charitable organization that assists homeless and street-affected youth. Among its social enterprises are BottleWorks, which employs young people collecting bottles, and BYBO, which employs youth delivering Beau's beer in the Ottawa area.
Here is the web page (with testimonials from some of the 16 youth employed by BYBO) mentioned in the segment: BYBO at OCH, and here is Steve's 2011 blog post, The Grinch Who Stole Your Christmas Beer, as found on his blog, How To Start A Brewery (In One Million Easy Steps).
In our third feature, Eddy Earwigg sits down with Louise Sproule, the editor and publisher of The Review, a local newspaper in Vankleek Hill. They discuss the challenges of being the first female publisher at a small-town paper, how Vankleek Hill has changed since Beau's arrived, and much more — expect the unexpected. Eddy and Louise have a rapport like few others.
Finally, Steve joins the Toronto-based writer and beer expert Crystal Luxmore to discuss her favourite holiday beers. They do a parallel tasting of Fuller's Vintage Ale (2012 and 2018 editions), and they try Crystal's holiday gifting go-to, Beau's New Lang Syne. Crystal also gives some cellaring tips for aging craft beer.

This text line is helping teens talk about mental health without saying a word
By Katie Dupere 2016-05-28 11:03:00 UTC
"He won't stop raping me. He told me not to tell anyone."
In August 2011, teen-focused social change organization DoSomething.org received this startling text message. It wasn't rare for the nonprofit to receive replies unrelated to the social causes it highlighted through its mobile platform — teens often looked to talk about issues such as bullying, questioning sexuality and substance abuse. But this text's raw honesty was particularly jarring.
SEE ALSO: 4 myths that will change how you define bullying
After one of DoSomething's digital engagement managers hesitated to answer, another message came through from the same number about an hour later: "R U there?"
The manager then texted back, asking the texter who was assaulting her. She responded the following day: "It's my dad."
It's been almost five years since that text, and former DoSomething.org CEO Nancy Lublin still hasn't heard from the girl, though she's tried several times to contact her. But the message created a sense of urgency in Lublin, calling her to act.
"We realized with that message that it was time to create counseling based around texting. So we built it."
"We realized with that message that it was time to create counseling based around texting," Lublin said. "So we built it."
That text was the catalyst for Crisis Text Line, a mental health-based text messaging support line geared toward teens in the U.S., founded in August 2013. Over the past three years, users of the text line have exchanged nearly 7.5 million text messages with volunteer Crisis Text Line counselors.
Now independent from DoSomething (though Lublin calls the two organizations the "best of friends") the line has started a mental health movement based around a medium of communication teens can get comfortable with — text.
"We get a lot of people in the heat of the moment, when they are about to get really angry, or they're about to have a panic attack, or they're about to have a bulimic episode," Lublin says.
A Crisis Text Line counselor's goal is to move a texter from that "hot moment" to a "cool moment." And every day the stakes are high. Lublin says the line performs an estimated eight "live rescues" per day, in which counselors call EMTs or police to intervene in a potentially life-threatening situation, such as suicide ideation.
It's these intimate conversations and demanding moments that make for a different type of volunteering experience for counselors.
"This is not like painting the side of a school. This is contact with another person who is in pain," Lublin says.
When a texter messages Crisis Text Line, they're greeted with a simple prompt from an automated algorithmic system: "We're here for you. Tell me more about what's going on..."
Image: Crisis Text Line
"We want to try to get the texter to tell us what's happening so the algorithm can read the severity," Lublin says. "If a texter says something like, 'I want to die' or 'I want to kill myself,' we make them No. 1 in the queue."
The algorithm makes the line operate like a hospital: The most critical patients are seen first by a crisis counselor. Crisis Text Line volunteers "text" via an encrypted, secure site on their personal computers — so secure, in fact, that counselors don't even see the mobile numbers of those they're helping.
And there are even more intensive privacy measures in place for texters concerned about their anonymity.
"Anyone can be scrubbed from our system just by texting in the word 'loofah' — and then we scrub you," Lublin says. She admits "loofah" can be a difficult words for teens to spell correctly, so variations — like "lufah" — work, too.
But "loofah"-ing yourself is more of a technicality than a necessity when using Crisis Text Line. Even with phone numbers saved in the depths of the Crisis Text Line system, there's no other identifying information connected to those numbers or made available to counselors.
"This is not like painting the side of a school. This is contact with another person who is in pain."
"We have a special relationship with all the major mobile carriers, where you aren't charged a fee, we aren't charged a fee and it doesn't even show up on your bill," Lublin said. "It's like you never even texted us."
Lublin says texting is the perfect medium for anonymity, despite popular opinion that tech can never afford true privacy. The main reason? It's a way of communication that doesn't require speech. You can confess your deepest secrets while sitting in a room full of people — and they'd have no clue.
"We tend to get a lot of texts every day around lunchtime," Lublin says. "People are sitting in a cafeteria or a Starbucks and you think they are texting their mom. But they are actually texting us."
The history of on-demand crisis counseling is tied to the evolution of tech. First, it was solely telephone-based hotlines, through which those in crisis could call in for help. With the popularization of instant messaging, mental health organizations started adding chat features to their websites with live support.
The next logical step for a connected generation of teens is text. Nearly 75% of U.S. teens own or have access to a smartphone, with only 12% of 13- to 17-year-old teens reporting they don't have access to a phone of any type. Of those teens who are connected, about 90% text.

Even with Crisis Text Line's success by capitalizing on texting, Lublin says older models aren't losing their staying power.
"I don't think [hotlines or instant messaging support] are ever going away — and they shouldn't," she says. "When it's possible to do crisis intervention by Tupac hologram or crisis intervention by Oculus Rift, it should all be made available. People are very divergent in their needs, and there should be a plethora of options to get help."
But, for Lublin, there's something special about texting. It's familiar, she says — people know they have limited space and already expect a delay in response.
"People are sitting in a cafeteria or a Starbucks and you think they are texting their mom. But they are actually texting us."
"What's really great about this is that, unlike phones, we don't get the word 'um,'" she says. "We don't get repetition. We don't get hyperventilating or crying. There are no interruptions. It's incredibly effective for counseling because what we do get is facts."
And those facts help to create a "juicy corpus," Lublin adds. Anonymous data collected through text conversations is available to the public through a sister effort called Crisis Trends, which tracks mental health trends that help inform the public, policy leaders and the nonprofit itself.
"We use the data in two ways: to make us faster and more accurate, and to, hopefully, make the country better," Lublin says.
Because of this data, Crisis Text Line knows that text counseling appeals to teens and young adults. About 65% of Crisis Text Line texters mention "school" as their location. While that's not entirely surprising, an unexpected 35% of texters are estimated to be older than the line's target teen audience. In fact, 10% of Crisis Text Line texters are middle-aged men.
"That's really exciting, because [middle-aged men] are most at risk for depression and suicide," Lublin says. "But they are least likely to seek out help."
Although mental health is the main focus, Lublin hesitates to make it the sole aspect of Crisis Text Line's story. First and foremost, she says, Crisis Text Line is about innovation — with data and startup roots taking center stage.
"We think of ourselves as a tech startup first and a mental health organization second," she says. "When it comes to volunteers, we love people who think of themselves as tech innovators first and volunteers second."
Right now, the line has 1,500 volunteer counselors across the country. Crisis counselors complete 35 hours of intensive mental health training — created and facilitated by Crisis Text Line trainers — including online modules, quizzes and role plays. Lublin says about 39% of those who apply to be a counselor are accepted and complete the training.
"If you're introverted, this is a really great way to volunteer," she says. "This doesn't require your voice. You can do it at home in your jammies. And you're going to save lives."

Allen Wang, a 19-year-old counselor who just completed his sophomore year at Iowa State University, has been a volunteer with Crisis Text Line since August 2015. As a student, Wang isn't pursuing mental health as a career path. His studies, to Lublin's point, are more tech-based — aerospace engineering and economics.
"That's how I know I'm doing this because it matters to me, not because I want to push forward a career or whatever," Wang tells Mashable.
Not only is Wang a counselor, but he also knows what it's like to be on the other end of the conversation. His first interaction with Crisis Text Line was when he was in crisis himself. In May 2015, he was fighting through a period of depression; after finding Crisis Text Line's number on Reddit, he decided to reach out.
"There was this girl I was really into, but it wasn't going to happen," he says. "I was feeling really bummed out after a really hard semester. It was just me sharing what was going on. It felt good to be able to do that."
"If you're introverted, this is a really great way to volunteer ... And you're going to save lives."
Now as a counselor, Wang has about five or six conversations with texters in crisis per every four-hour shift, each one lasting about 45 minutes to an hour. Most days, he's talking to texters who are being bullied or having difficulty with self-image. But, once in a while, he does talk to an actively suicidal texter.
Out of 160 conversations in his time with Crisis Text Line, he estimates three or four have ended in police involvement due to suicidal ideation.
A few months ago, Wang was connected to a girl who was actively cutting herself while texting the line. She told Wang she didn't want any help. What she wanted, she said, was to die.
Wang told his supervisor, who ended up contacting the police. Using the signal from her cellphone, the authorities were able to pinpoint her location.
"When they got there, she texted me back saying, 'What the...?!'" Wang says, trailing off. "She cursed me out, asking why the police were there, and just shot me texts of quite a few obscenities."
He sighs heavily, his voice quiet. "I knew we did the right thing, but that one really sticks with me," he says.
The emotional weight of being a counselor is one of the biggest obstacles of the job. Burnout from high stress and pressure is something Wang has struggled with, along with the obligation to stop communicating with a person in crisis after a single, intense conversation.
"In some cases, you are the only person they have ever told these things to. It was really hard when I first started to just walk away from that."
"You heard from the very depths of these individuals," he says. "Their deepest, darkest secrets — hopes, dreams, fears, terrible things that have happened to them. In some cases, you are the only person they have ever told these things to. It was really hard when I first started to just walk away from that — to just let go and move on."
But being a crisis counselor has given him a "crash course in letting go." If he couldn't, he says, it would be too much of a burden.
"It's a really good skill to have in life — to just move on from something," he says.
Lublin, however, can't move on from the text that started it all.
The girl who texted DoSomething about her sexually abusive father is still on Lublin's mind — and she has been for five years.
Lublin talks about her a lot — in speeches, interviews, daily life — hoping that even if she never speaks directly to her, the girl will find out what her bravery and honesty helped to create.
"I want her to know that her courage inspired this whole thing. Thanks to her, we are saving a lot of other people," Lublin says.
"She started all of this."

I understand that charities and other worthwhile organizations need money to operate, but I'm tired of the weekly phone calls and letters from these people asking me to donate money.
Sarah H., Key West, Fla.
Sarah, when they call, tell them to remove you from their list of people to contact, and by law they must stop.
Give some to pet birds for nesting purposes.
Pack around small objects for shipping.
Give to children to use for a craft project.
Spray with perfume and put in your purse to keep it smelling fresh.
It seems every time I see a cockroach, it's hanging on to my ceiling. I spray and spray insecticide, but they keep coming back. What can I do to get rid of them?
Kelly, if the cockroach is on the ceiling, use a broom to brush it off onto the floor. Use a shoe to kill it, and throw the cockroach in the trash. If they're hiding behind a refrigerator or in other hard-to-reach places, use sticky traps to catch them. Also, look for damp spots in the house, because roaches are drawn to those places, and to anywhere there's food. You might have to call in an exterminator to do the whole house.
I boil a gallon of water and pour it down the center of an ant mound to kill ants. No chemicals, no danger.
As a police officer, I see break-ins every day. Our senior citizens are the ones most at risk, usually because they are the most trusting. To better safeguard your home, your life and your valuables, have a peephole installed on your front door and on the door leading to your garage. Do not open the door to strangers, no matter what they tell you. Make sure you have at least one deadbolt lock on all doors leading outside. If someone insists that you need to let them in, or just won't go away, call the police.
My husband won't shine his shoes. He says they look fine and don't need shoe polish, but they look old and scruffy to me. How can I convince him otherwise?
Cassy, tell him shoe polish has conditioners that keep shoes supple and help prevent the leather from getting brittle and dry.

I love making my own handmade soaps for our family. And….I've been wanting to give goat's milk soap a try using the hot process method. What has stopped me up until now is that I'd heard you can't use milks when you make hot process soap. But when I was asked to test out a goat milk & honey recipe for a friend, I figured I'd give this style of soap making a try!
I have a couple of friends who have even begged me in the past to try making goat milk soap because of how moisturizing it is....but nope. I just wouldn't go there. But when this friend asked….I finally figured it was time to experiment with milk and the hot process soap method.
My friend, Kelly Cable, owner of Simple Life Mom, and the author of The Natural Soap Making Book for Beginners, shared her amazing Goat Milk and Honey recipe with me, along with a copy of her new book to review.
She encouraged me to give the hot process method using this recipe a try, and to please let her know what I changed and how it went.
"Oh, no!" I thought. "Now I'll have to give Goat Milk & Honey soap a try!" I'm afraid of failure, so I was hesitant. Isn't goat milk soap difficult to make? Can't it burn and turn an ugly looking brown color with a weird smell? Aren't there some extra steps to take?
But then, I looked at it this way: If even I could make this recipe work, then ANY body can, right? What a testimony this would be to the effectiveness and ease of the natural soap recipes in Kelly's new book!
Follow the steps below to see how I adjusted this milk recipe to the Hot Process Soap method and created lovely golden Goat Milk & Honey Soaps from this phenomenal soap recipe!
I have to say, I am SUPER impressed with this recipe, and if a beginning soap maker like me can take a goat's milk & honey recipe and use the hot process method on it, then it is a FABULOUS recipe.

YES! I Want the Free Hot Process Soap Making Checklist!
I've always wanted to make Goats Milk & Honey Handmade Soap! Here is a recipe for natural Moisturizing Hot Process Goat Milk & Honey Soap, PLUS how I changed the directions from Cold Process Soap to the Hot Process soap making Method. Make your own soap! This recipe is from this incredible book: Natural Soap Making for Beginners, by Kelly Cable.
Cold process soap is usually smoother and a little "prettier" than hot process soap. When you make cold process soap, you have to pay close attention to the temperatures of the oils and lye solution, or the soap may not come out right.
With hot process soap, you're soap will not be as "pretty" as cold process (although beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right?), and will have a rougher top with a more "rustic" appearance.
However, your soap will "cook" through all the phases quickly while you get to watch it! You also get to use your hot process soap right away, while the cold process soap will require four to six weeks' curing time. I'm impatient...I admit. I like to enjoy my soaps right away!
You can find out more in the above article I just mentioned.
If you are new to making hot process soap, you might be interested in taking a look at these posts, which are complete picture tutorials of each step.
Even though I've been fairly complete here, it always makes sense to be sure you are comfortable with all steps! Make Your Own Soap, Lavender-Rosemary Hot Process Soap, and there are many others on my website too!

Kelly says, "Though a Castile bar was the first soap recipe I made, I dreamed of making a Goat Milk and Honey Soap bar. Well, here it is. Using milk and honey in a recipe means you need to be aware of a few more things, but it's pretty easy once you get the hang of it. Enjoy the many nourishing benefits of this soap!"

Whenever you are working with lye, ALWAYS wear gloves, long sleeves, and safety glasses. Lye is dangerous! No children or pets should be around while you are working with lye. I always mix my lye solution up outside because of the fumes, even on cold, snowy days.
I placed the goat milk into the freezer for about 2 hours. It became semi-solid. Kelly says to not let it freeze, and I think mine might have been a little more frozen. The thing about using milk to make soaps is that it can burn when you add the lye to the liquid. If this happens, chances are, you won't end up with a lovely bar of soap, and it may even smell bad. So, the colder the goat milk is, the better off things will go when you combine it with the lye. I placed the water in the fridge, so I'd have very cold water.
This is the goat milk, water, and lye solution all mixed up. Look at that beautiful color, and the goat milk was cold enough that it didn't burn! So far, so good!
Since I used a crock pot because of the "cook" in hot process soap making, I only heated the solid oils in the pot on the stove over very low heat. With cold process soap making, you have to watch the temperature of the oils and the lye solution carefully. With hot process soap making, temperature is still a factor, but much less so, since you will be heating everything up and "cooking" your soap.
Once the solid oils (in this case the lard, beeswax, and coconut oil) were melted, I poured them into the crock pot. Then I added the remainder of the oils.
**At this point, I still had the crock pot OFF because I wanted my oils to remain liquid, but not be too hot when I added the lye solution, due to the goat milk.
Put on your safety gear: gloves, eye-wear, and long sleeves, PLUS a mask if you are very sensitive to fumes. Working outside, VERY slowly only pour 1/4 of the lye into the milk-water combination and stir well. Let cool for 20 minutes. (I didn't actually wait this long because my milk-water combo was more frozen than it should have been.) Repeat this until all the lye is dissolved into the milk-water. Kelly states, "If your milk still browns, don't worry. Your soap will just be darker."
My lye solution ended up being a beautiful lemon color!
Again, with hot process, I don't worry about the temperatures of the lye solution or the oil mixture too much.
Pour the lye water into the crock pot of oils. Use a stick blender to mix well until a light trace is formed. Basically, your mixture should look a bit like pudding, with little peaks forming.
This is how the soap mixture looks like at trace in the crock pot. Interestingly, as this soap began its "cook," it first turned into a hard block of opaque soap (still VERY caustic) with the trace marks still there!
This is one of the best soap-making books for beginners I've ever run across. I'll be using Natural Soapmaking Book for Beginners as an extensive resource!
Turn your crock pot to LOW, and allow your baby soap to cook. What happens during this phase is that the soap moves through the chemical stages much faster than in cold process. Since heat is being applied, there is more chance that the goat milk will still burn or become much darker.
**So here is what happened with my soap, that I was NOT expecting and had not ever experienced before: The soap became very hard, then BAM! All of a sudden, the oils and liquids separated! Oh No!
I knew I had measured everything correctly, so I decided to re-emulsify the mixture with the hand blender. Here is a picture of what that looked like--you can see swirls of the opaque re-emulsified mixture in the blend.
Once I re-emulsifed the mixture, I watched it carefully through the cook phases. What emerged was a lovely soft looking batch of soap. Once it went through the gel stage (and you'll know this because the soap will become translucent and a little "waxy"), I tested to be sure it was done.
OH, NO!!!!! This is NOT a good sign when making hot process soap. Basically, the oils and liquids are separating, and unless something is done fast (re-emulsification), the chemical reaction that changes the molecular structure of the oils won't happen. What's left? A big caustic mess.
Stick Blender to the Rescue! I just re-emulsified the separated mixture once again. Those opaque swirls are the soap being brought back to a hard trace again. I mixed a bit more....then let it go back to cooking.
When the soap is done, it will have some easy to note characteristics. It will be translucent, kind of like petroleum jelly. Also, if you take a little pea-sized amount between your fingers, it will be waxy and malleable, and will not fall apart. Finally---you do the ZAP test.
I do the "ZAP" test. I know some people don't like this, but for me, it's been the best way to test hot process for doneness. You just take a dab of the waxy soap, rub it a bit between your fingers until it's not so hot, then place it on the tip of your tongue. If it ZAPS you (and you will KNOW if it does), then it's not yet finished OR something went wrong in the process. If it doesn't ZAP you--you're soap is good to go!
This is where, in hot process, you add any extra scents and moisturizers (like honey). Pour in your essential oils and the honey and STIR, STIR, STIR until everything is mixed in well.
This soap is much more liquid-feeling than the soap I'm used to making. I decided to put it into the fridge to cool down. I also figured this would benefit the goat milk. It ended up being in the refrigerator for about four hours, as it wasn't cooling as quickly as my normal soap recipe does.
Learn all you need to know to create your very own herbal tea blends, both for pleasure and health! Lots of recipes and directions to get you started on making your very own blends!
Just allow the soap to cool completely, into a nice solid block. Once it's completely cooled down, you can gently pull the sides of the mold from the soap, turn it over, and press gently to continue removing the soap from the mold.
Step 11) Allow to "Rest"
I let this block of soap sit for about 24 hours before cutting into it because it still felt really soft. After 24 hours, I was able to cut it into some nice bars. Now, a couple days later, it's PERFECT!
The soap turned out GREAT! It's a lovely, extremely moisturizing soap, and the color ended up being absolutely beautiful---A nice Golden color. I was very happy with the results!
Here is how the bars turned out! For the smooth topped bars, I just cut the rough part off. People seem to like this better sometimes. The rough-topped soap is actually how hot process soap turns out. Personally, I like it.
Have you ever made your own soaps? How did it go? What is your favorite style? Hot Process or Cold Process? I'd love to know your thoughts and any questions or comments you have! Also, I'm curious about your experiences with making goat milk soap! I've always been afraid to try it, until now! I hope you'll comment: It's boring without you!
P.S. If you haven't already, I hope you'll sign up for our newsletter! You'll get the Hot Process Soap Making Checklist right away, PLUS you'll also get access to the free Resource Library, which I update weekly with eBooks, guides, checklists, and lots more!
Though a Castile bar was the first soap recipe I made, I dreamed of making a Goat Milk and Honey Soap bar. Well, here it is. Using milk and honey in a recipe means you need to be aware of a few more things, but it's pretty easy once you get the hang of it. Enjoy the many nourishing benefits of this soap!
Remember to wear your safety equipment and mix the lye water outside.
Tell everyone you live with that where you're working is off limits.
Give yourself enough time to complete the recipe.
Prep Ahead: Combine the water and milk in a large glass, plastic, or stainless steel container. Place milk-water into the freezer for 1 to 2 hours. It is okay if a slush forms, as long as it doesn't freeze. The colder your milk-water, the lighter your soap will be after adding the lye.
1. Heat the Fats/Oils: In a large pot over medium-low heat, combine olive oil, lard, coconut oil, sweet almond oil, and beeswax. Heat until they are melted and incorporated. Remove from heat and allow to cool to 90-100°F.
2. Mix the Lye-Water: Put on protective gear including a mask, gloves, and long sleeves. Outside, very slowly pour only ¼ of the lye into the milk-water and stir until dissolved. Let cool for 20 minutes. Repeat until all lye is dissolved into the milk-water. If milk still browns, don't worry. Your soap will just be darker. Allow to cool to 90-100°F. If oil or lye water cool at different rates, you can use a cold or hot water bath in the sink.
3. Prepare the Mold: While the oils and lye water cool, line the mold with parchment paper.
4. Combine and Bring to Trace: When both oils and lye water are around 90-100°F, pour the lye water into the pot of oils. Use a stick blender or hand mixer to mix for 1 to 2minutes and then let the mixture rest for 4 to 5 minutes. Repeat mixing and resting until light trace.
5. Mix in Natural Additives: When soap reaches light trace, add essential oils and honey and blend for 30 seconds.
6. Mold the Soap: Pour the soap mixture into the mold, cover with a lid or parchment paper for 24 hours. Do not insulate unless your house is below 75°F, then insulate by placing a towel around the outside edges to avoid a partial gel.
7. Cut and Cure: Remove soap from the mold. If it seems too soft to remove, wait another 12 to 24 hours before removing. Cut the soap into twelve 4-ounce bars. Allow the bars to cure for 4 to 6 weeks.
Tips: Milk can scald when lye is added. Placing the milk-water in the freezer until it's very cold helps prevent this. Be sure to add lye slowly. It is okay to really take your time, coming back every 20 minutes to add a little more. Adding milk can also make your batch get hotter than usual, so just insulate a milk recipe lightly with a towel if you're concerned about getting a good gel for color. Honey can also make soap come to trace faster, so add it and blend really well right before pouring soap into the mold.

Synecdoche, New York (2008)
Posted on April 27, 2015 By AntBit
First published by EyeforFilm
A middle-aged man in crisis finds himself contemplating his mortality, loneliness and insignificance in a vast, indifferent universe.
These are the sort of grand existential themes that are normally associated with filmmakers from a more literate age, the Viscontis or Bergmans – but given that Synecdoche, New York is the directorial debut of one Charlie Kaufman, who has previously penned such high-concept experiments as Being John Malkovich (1999), Adaptation (2002), Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind (2002) and Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind (2004), you can be sure that this most straightforward and essential of premises is going to be elaborated, ramified and fragmented into something far more brain-bending, if no less poignant, than anything made by his predecessors.
The protagonist Caden Cotard, himself a director, albeit of theatre, may well wonder aloud near the film's beginning why he, like Kaufman, always makes his productions so "over-complicated", but the answer is more or less the same for both artists: they are re-staging classic tales of the human condition for a decidedly postmodern mindset.
In Schenectady, New York, it is October – "a melancholy month, and because of that quite beautiful" as a poet is heard saying on the radio, perfectly summarising the mood of the film to follow. If it is the beginning of fall, then these are also the autumn years of Caden Cotard (Philip Seymour Hoffman), who finds himself left alone at home with a series of physical and neurological ailments while his wife Adele Lack (Catherine Keener), a painter of miniature portraits, is off touring Berlin with their four-year-old daughter Olive (Sadie Goldstein).
Too miserable, sick and guilt-ridden even to consummate his affair with Hazel (Samantha Morton), the adoring box office employee at the theatre where his latest production, a modernised Death Of A Salesman, has just opened, Caden feels abandoned, lost and impotent – but then an unexpected grant arrives, offering the director an opportunity, for the first time in his career, to develop his own ideas. Moving his entire company to a giant warehouse space in New York City, Caden decides to go with what he knows, and so embarks on an ambitious project to turn his own life, and all his anxieties about loss and death, into one vast all-encompassing play.
Caden neurotically dramatises his estrangement from his own daughter, 'now' a grown-up tattooed lesbian who speaks only German, and imagines a second (failed) marriage, this time with his lead actress Claire Keen (Michelle Williams), while he continues to obsessively pursue his elusive first wife Adele, the now married Hazel and even his own (or at least someone else's) mother. Soon the sheer scale of the project, stretching decades into the future, requires Caden to hire doubles (and eventually triples) to portray both himself and the other people in his life – not to mention an ever-expanding army of extras.
When Caden's double (and one-time stalker) Sammy (Tom Noonan) begins going out with Hazel (who is now working as Caden's assistant), Caden finds himself settling for Hazel's double Tammy (Emily Watson) as "the next best thing". This is, after all, 'the story of Caden's life' in more ways than one – a story of regretful substitutions and disappointed projections. In the end he will allow Millicent (Dianne Wiest), a woman originally hired to play Adele's (entirely imagined) cleaning woman, to take on the role of Caden himself, and then cede even his directing duties to her, as he comes to realise that his own flawed existence is shared by a whole universe of human extras – in a meaningless theatre of the absurd, directed by a complete stranger, where the only thing predictable is the end.
Synecdoche, New York is a film like no other, coming from a filmmaker who is beginning to specialise in the 'film like no other'. It is not an easy brand to maintain without succumbing to the self-defeat of repetition – and yet Kaufman somehow manages to avoid rehashing his old ideas, even though this film is itself concerned precisely with repetitions, parallels and symmetries. Its closest analogues are not in cinema, but rather in the plays of Luigi Pirandello or Samuel Beckett (or even the more meta-theatrical moments of William Shakespeare), but perhaps that should not be surprising given that this is a film about a play – a play that could not possibly be staged, that is as maddeningly messy as life itself, and that might just be the hallucinated product of Caden's 'synaptic degradation', of a bad trip, or even of just a particularly vivid fever dream. Are we watching a man's life flashing before his eyes in the moment that precedes death, or several decades of continued decline – or is it just two hours of wondrously compressed and convoluted cinema, encapsulating the simplicities and complexities, the specificities and the universality, of any individual's all-too-brief existence?
In any case, it is dizzyingly rich in ideas, it is remarkably free of exposition – or, indeed, of any kind of concession to those who are not up to its sophisticated mode of reflexive game-playing – and it is unapologetically a film for adults. What really makes it stand out, though, even from the rest of Kaufman's own œuvre, is its tone of sombre resignation.
Synecdoche, New York may feature all the filmmaker's usual surreal wit and close observation of human foibles, but at heart it is a memento mori of unfathomable gravity, and few will still be laughing by the final scene. For both Kaufman's film and Caden's play are a metaphor for not only the miraculous creativity, but also the bleak futility of all human endeavour – and in this portrait of an artist as an old man in decline, no amount of reproduction, trickery or fantasy can or ever will suffice to deflect the inevitable end (even if no one could quite anticipate the particular theatricalised form that the end will take here).
Phillip Seymour Hoffmann is riveting as Caden, bringing to the surface all this narcissistic hypochondriac's doubts, confusion, yearning and despair – and the ensemble in his orbit proves as committed and capable as Caden's own theatre company. Kaufman can certainly direct, too, seamlessly enmeshing reality, fantasy and performance so that the viewer easily becomes as lost as Caden himself. With the clock ticking on Kaufman as much as on the rest of us, it is impossible to know what he might do next, but to date this is without question his finest and most important work, and one that already has the feel of a classic (or at least an epitaph) about it.
At one point near the end, our disgruntled protagonist is heard declaring to Hazel, "God, you're perfect", to which she replies, "I'm a mess, but we fit." It is the film – and perhaps life – in a nutshell (or, if you like, in synecdoche): a collection of loosely linked episodes of human fallibility that somehow adds up to divine perfection. See it and weep – even if you have to use actor's eye drops to s(t)imulate the tears.

You can grab this plugin from this page over at WordPress.org. After installing the plugin, you'll notice a prompt to input your PollDaddy account details.
If you don't have a PollDaddy account already, not to worry! I'll walk you through it. You can sign up for a free account here.
Fill in your name, e-mail address, and password choice, and you're all set.
After this, you'll need to go back to your WordPress admin panel and type in the login details you just created. Upon revisiting the PollDaddy admin page, you'll see a new screen to create and manage your polls.
I'm not sure what that warning message means, but I'll just ignore it and see if the polls work anyway. Seems some others are having the same problem as well.
Click the "Add New" link to set up your poll. There's an input box for the poll question, as well as three answers. You can click the "Add Another" button for more answer choices. You can also set up multiple choice polls, randomize the answer order, and allow other answers.
I'll choose the "Simple White" design and leave the default settings for results and repeat voters.
After clicking the "Add Poll" button, I was greeted with a page with two warning messages on it. After re-logging in to the admin panel (somehow I was logged out) and visited the Polls page, it seems the poll I created was indeed successful.
The next step is to go write a post, and click the orange button thingy next to Add Media. You should see a screen like this with your newly created poll.
Again, the same warning message pops up. I'll try my best to ignore those since they seem not to make a difference with the actual workings of the plugin. After sending the poll to the editor, WordPress will generate a shortcode to place in your post.
Help Me! It doesn't work!
After saving/publishing, you'll notice the actual poll doesn't display in your post, just the unparsed shortcode. To correct this, you'll need to install another plugin from PollDaddy. You can get it here. I grabbed the one for version 2.5 and above.
I'm not sure why this plugin isn't even mentioned at all on the first plugin's page. I had to check this support thread to find out why the polls weren't displaying properly. Apparently the first plugin was just for creating/managing polls. This one is for having them display in your WordPress post.
That's it. Here's the poll I've just created in action.
First of all, I'd like to congratulate Matt Mullenweg and Automattic on this awesome acquisition.
It's a mystery to me why the plugin for creating/managing polls and the plugin for displaying polls are separate. Maybe someone can enlighten me. I personally think that these two plugins should be combined into one.
I think it's also worth mentioning the self-hosted WP-Polls plugin by Lester Chan, if you'd rather not be dependent on a third-party service.
Hope you all liked the tutorial. Feel free to comment with your thoughts on the acquisition, the WordPress integration, and the tutorial. I'd love to hear them.
The new Block editing system in WordPress 5.0+ doesn't even require a plugin.
You can click the + sign to add a new block and one of the types of blocks is a PollDaddy block. You paste the URL for your CrowdSignal (PollDaddy) survey/poll/quiz and it embeds beautifully!
I'm using this widget in my sidebar currently, but my biggest issue is that I cannot figure out for the life of me how to get it to display a randomly selected POLL from my account each time… I have to manually shortcode in a new poll every time I want it to change… is there a way to just get a new poll from my account to display each time?
Thanks for posting. I couldn't figure it out. Finally I realized I needed to go to add media instead of adding poll and then adding the code in for inserting url. Appreciate it!
I believe you can still use PollDaddy polls on WP.com although this tutorial applies to self-hosted WP blogs.
Hey thanks for this it was usper useful, do you know if you can add links into the answers of a poll daddy poll?
So the answers are hyperlinks to the content they express, would be super useful if this was possible.
Thanks so much for this! It was just what I was looking for in terms of creating polls on blulob.com. It worked like a charm!
Thanks for the review! Adding a poll to your blog is a fantastic way to learn more about your visitors.I like the plugins that are available if you are a WordPress user.It makes life so much easier.
@Dave: Glad you found it useful.
@Andrew: That's a very good question. Honestly, I haven't really tried WP-Polls enough to comment on that.
Leland, I have used both WP-Polls and Poll Daddy and I settled on WP-Polls in the end.
Do you have any thoughts on which is actually better for visitor experience and administrator benefits?
I've been wondering how to get a WP poll going. Thanks for the information. This will be useful on my site.
@jbj: No problem! It's definitely worth a try.
@mdawaffe: Hey, no problem, and thanks for stopping by. Glad to hear about version 0.4. Should we expect that to be released pretty soon?
You shouldn't have needed that second plugin. This plugin was supposed to do both managing and displaying.
Both that bug and the Warning should be fixed in the next version: 0.4.
Thanks for the review Leland! I definitely must check out the PollDaddy plugin.

When the global trance movement was arguably at the peak of its powers in the 2000's Johan Gielen ranked as high as #24 in the prestigious DJ Mag Top 100 DJs poll and, to this day, is the only DJ to have performed 15 consecutive times at Trance Energy, the most celebrated of all trance festivals during this era, gaining him the nickname of "Mr Trance Energy". There's barely a big stage that hasn't been graced by Johan's presence and standout performances over the years – Tomorrowland, Sensation, Dance Valley, Godskitchen, Electronic Family, Mysteryland, Sunrise are just a handful of highlights.
As a producer, Johan Gielen has been creating both club classics and crossover anthems since the dawn of trance music. As a solo artist. the pinnacle was surely his massive 'Revelations' album, but he's also the key member of famed collaboration projects such as Svenson & Gielen (hit singles including 'The Beauty Of Silence' / 'Twisted') and Airscape ('Pacific Melody' / 'L'Esperanza'). The studio inspiration and output remains as strong as ever today, with late 2016 releases including a remix package of 'Flash' and a new Airscape single 'Right Here' featuring Betsie Larkin on vocals.
During the 25 year career of Johan Gielen countless artists have risen and fallen, yet very few have stayed the course . The secret to Johan Gielen's enduring success is his commitment and consistency within the scene he loves. He was adorned with the nickname "Mr Trance Energy" by his fans and he's stayed true to the genre he loves – the Johan Gielen name is synonymous with trance and he's mighty proud of it!
There's no better artist to deliver a Trance Classics set than Johan Gielen and he's delighted to deliver the sounds that the fans demand – the Johan Gielen Trance Classics concept is booming in clubland and festival stages are planned for 2018. Johan also delivers Volume 4 of his popular Trance Classics compilation series on the High Contrast label last October. Moving into 2018 there will be further new productions with the Johan Gielen name being used to deliver the classic trance sounds, while his Airscape alter ego will be cutting a new edge to the trance scene that Johan has been shaping for over two decades now.
Johan Gielen is Trance – "Mr Trance Energy"!

On Saturday 17th & Sunday 18th of October I will be teaching a class at Hettie's Patch that I am pretty excited about because it's a class that I have been thinking about for a while ... well for as long as I have been thinking about teaching ... which in the greater scheme of things isn't all that long.
The class will cover the usual signature aspects of my designs including raw edge applique with a bit of a twist. I will be developing a new project over the couple of months that will be the starting point of this class - we will lookat design, use of colour & fabrics to create something of each students own design by either using my shapes or by developing their own. Alternatively you could also simply follow my design and focus you energies on perfecting the skills that will be developed in the class. I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!
Just in case you had your heart set on working on one of the cushions from Pretty 'n Pink in this class then don't worry you can still do that! The skills that we will work on will be the same ... you will just finish up with a different project in the end.
A word of warning ... this class will be full on! Be prepared to work hard ... if we are going to go to the trouble of doing all of this we may as well make it worthwhile!!!
My understanding is that there has been enough interest in this class to book it out already ... however if there is enough interest there has been another date tentatively booked for November ... so give the girls a ring or drop them an email if you are interested.
Hettie's Patch is also now stocking my patterns!
I had better get back to my current project .... I want to know whose crazy idea it was to sew these shapes down by hand??????
I'll be back on Friday .. see you then!
PS There is a pretty terrific give away happening over here at the moment and look you could even win these:) !!!
Oh darn! I'll be overseas then. I am sure everyone will learn so much and have absolutely wonderful skills by the end. Your current project looks awesome as usual.
The workshop sounds like fun. Too bad it's still so far away from Perth. We had our craft and quilt fair last week and I was so pleased to see your quilt and patterns at "A Quilting Passion". The girls said your patterns sold well. Congratulations! Very exciting for you. Your new project looks very interesting!
I see what you mean about the hand stitching...you crazy woman!!!
I....the maker of small frivlous stuffed items , bow down before you..the maker of heirlooms and history.
Well done hope you really enjoy your class , the students will .
I'm already booked in and on the list. Can't wait!!!!! I'll be even more than happy to organise an Adelaidian blogger-get-together-meet up if you like! Can't guarantee I can beat Jodie's Ballarat meet and greet but I'll try!
Doesn't look like a dog's breakfast to me ... looks like a riot of colour.
I'm sure you'll book out that November date in no time at all. Your fellow Aussies are lucky to get the chance to learn from you!
You are amazing!! Are you needle turning those circles????? How wonderful!
I can't wait for the class, will give the patch a call tomorrow to double check that I'm booked in!
oh I wish I could take the class. I love your work, it is gorgeous.
A class from you sounds terrific. I wish I lived around the corner!
Good luck with the classes Kellie - they sound great!
When are coming to Brisbane? Please please please one day!!!!
I'm booked-in! I rang to confirm as soon as you blogged last night, but it was after hours, and by the time I was functioning today after a migraine, they're already up to 10 participants!
Hope that every one involved has a ball. Especially you!
Forget Adelaide. When are you teaching in Chicago???
sounds like you will have lots of fun! So when are you going to be teaching in the US? preferably withing 20 miles of wherever I'm living?!
I'm not sure if Adelaide is quite as international as Houston but I'm sure we will have fun.
Looking forward to the class.....!
I don't think we have the travel budget from Canada to Adelaide this fall! Too bad, I love your stye and would love to glean some tips from you.

IQ: A claim to fame
By Matthew Fullen
Teller County invokes a nostalgia of old-time Colorado, when hard-rock miners toiled and fortunes were made and lost in a heartbeat. I was a little kid the first time I was in Cripple Creek. My grandpa put a quarter in the one-armed bandit and let me pull the lever as part of our spur-of-the-moment exploration of the town. Now that my gambling exploits are things of the past, I'd recommend taking a look at the rest of Teller County; there's a lot of interesting history -- and secrets -- in the mountains west of town.
Neighborhood: Old North End
What's the strangest thing you've ever heard about Teller County? I've heard about those lightning balls. Some people that used to live there told me that balls of lightning form and they bounce around.
How often do you head up to Cripple Creek? I used to live up there and now, ever since gambling which I don't really like, I don't go that often. So probably four times a year.
What three things do you expect to find at the bottom of mine shafts? Number one: people -- probably Texans. Number two: ummm ... people, people, people.
Who was Teller and what did he do? [He] probably displaced some Indians.
Lacey Johnson-Rojas
Neighborhood: Security
What's the strangest thing you've ever heard about Teller County? Piercings. People wandering around with piercings and tattoos all over their bodies.
How often do you head up to Cripple Creek? Oh my, I haven't been there in a year.
What three things do you expect to find at the bottom of mine shafts? Coal, oil, ore. Just rock -- that's all that's there. That's it.
Who was Teller and what did he do? A famous person in history. The guy they named Teller County after. An explorer, mapper, frontiersman?
Purchasing and accounting
What's the strangest thing you've ever heard about Teller County? I know there's a confinement place up there where they send people ... military-wise as a holding cell until their trial comes up.
How often do you head up to Cripple Creek? Not that often, maybe once in a blue moon. But I haven't been up there since last year.
When's the last time you hit the jackpot? That'd be many moons ago, but last year I won some kind of big gift certificate.
Who was Teller and what did he do? I don't know if William Teller was a judge or a politician.
Jeff Leurell
Neighborhood: Woodland Park
What's the strangest thing you've ever heard about Teller County? The scariest maybe ... some militant survivalists up there.
How often do you head up to Cripple Creek? Once a year.
When's the last time you won? I don't gamble. I don't gamble up there.
What three things do you expect to find at the bottom of mine shafts? Rocks, tools, who knows what else. Let your imagination wander on that one.
Who was Teller and what did he do? He was probably another one of those guys that exploited the miners, had something to do with killing all those miners back in the 1800s.

For years, our economy rode the crest of inflated home prices in a booming market. When the bubble popped, many were left thrashing in the deep end.

IQ: Going Thoreau
We've been bombarded for close to two months with messages about how we need to buy stuff and more stuff just to be happy. And we also need to buy a whole bunch of stuff so everyone around us will be happy too.
IQ: Let it snow
The first time I was ever whitewashed was on a cold Halloween when I was about 12. Some big kids decided they'd rather introduce me to the experience of having snow inside your shirt than go door to door for candy.
IQ: Shifting wind
It's always a strange thing to wake up one summer morning (or afternoon if you're still a teenager, in my case) to find that winter has fully entrenched itself and you're already into the football season, not to mention the holiday season.

American drowns after proposing to his girlfriend underwater in Tanzania
By: CNN Wire
TANZANIA — A Louisiana man has drowned after proposing to his girlfriend underwater while the couple was vacationing in Tanzania.
Steven Weber and Kenesha Antoine were staying in Pemba Island, CNN affiliate WBRZ reports , in a wooden cabin with a bedroom submerged beneath the ocean surface off the east coast of Africa.
Weber proposed on Thursday by swimming underwater and holding a handwritten note against the bedroom windows, according to a video Antoine posted Friday on Facebook, before presenting a ring.
The note, which Weber had placed inside a transparent plastic bag, read, "I can't hold my breath long enough to tell you everything I love about you. BUT…Everything I love about you I love more EVERY DAY!
"Will you please be my WIFE," the note continued. "Marry me???"
But Weber failed to return to the surface, Antoine said in a subsequent Facebook post. "You never emerged from those depths, so you never got to hear my answer, 'Yes! Yes! A million times, yes, I will marry you!!' " she wrote.
"We never got to embrace and celebrate the beginning of the rest of our lives together, as the best day of our lives turned into the worst, in the cruelest twist of fate imaginable," Antoine continued.
"I will try to take solace in the fact that we enjoyed the most amazing bucket list experiences these past few days, and that we both were so happy and absolutely giddy with excitement in our final moments together."
CNN has reached out to Antoine for comment.
The Manta Resort, where the couple was staying, issued a statement on Saturday confirming the death.
"Our sincerest condolences, thoughts and prayers are with his girlfriend, families and friends impacted by this tragic accident," said Matthew Saus, the resort's CEO.
Local authorities were investigating, he added.
The State Department confirmed that a US tourist had died in Tanzania but gave no further details.
"We offer our sincerest condolences to the family on their loss. We stand ready to provide all appropriate consular assistance," the State Department said.


Not too many people consider kale as a particularly edible vegetable. It's tough, bitter and usually just stuck on the side of your plate as a garnish. Not the most appetizing or tantalizing of uses. But lately, there seems to be more and more talk about how wonderful kale is – a supposed "super vegetable." Filled with enough Vitamin A, C and K to last you a week and more minerals than I can keep track of, kale seems to be more than a dried up garnish.
Super veggie or not, kale was not on my list of "need to try foods." I have to admit, I have never in my life been tempted to chow down on a bunch of kale. I'm not sure too many people have for that matter. But as a foodie, there's only so many kale-based recipes I can read before I feel the need to get in the kitchen and do some experimenting.
I happened to come across some crazy purple kale (pictured above) at the farmer's market that looked a lot better than I thought it would taste. When I got it home, I washed it and stuck in the fridge and went to work on researching any recipe that made kale looked even mildly enticing. I found one on VegetarianTimes.com, "Raw Kale Salad with Root Vegetables", that looked decent enough and I gave it a shot. Well, I have to say, I might be a kale convert! This salad AND the kale were delicious. I never thought I'd say it, but kale is not only quite edible, but also very tasty!
Click here to view the recipe. The recipe called for Lacinato kale – some specific type of kale that's supposedly a little more tender than your regular old kale. But I used what I found at the farmer's market instead and it worked out fine. I also subbed out the called for rutabaga and turnip for more carrots and the watermelon radishes that I also picked up at the market (see picture above). Both substitutions worked great and really brightened up the whole salad! Plus, the home-made candied pecans that were part of the recipe were to die for. I really hope you give this recipe a try, or other kale recipes you may find. This once tossed aside vegetable really can be transformed into a delicious dish!

Weddings & Celebs
Victoria's Secret Model Lais Ribeiro Shows Off Her Engagement Ring
Her boyfriend, NBA player Joakim Noah, proposed at Burning Man.
Julyssa Lopez
Just days after announcing that she got engaged to her boyfriend and NBA player Joakim Noah at Burning Man, Victoria's Secret model Lais Ribeiro stepped out in New York City and gave the world a look at her glittering new engagement ring.
The model attended the Mosaic Federation Gala Against Human Slavery at Cipriani 42nd Street this week, and she used a moment on the red carpet to show off the sparkler on her left hand. She paired the jewelry with a stunning white off-the-shoulder gown, statement earrings, and a pair of metallic heels.
Ribeiro had shared the news that Noah had proposed on Sunday. On Instagram, she shared an image that showed the two of them embracing in a tent during the famed festival Burning Man. Her caption suggested that the snap was taken just moments after Noah asked her to marry him.
"I'm a bit late for Burning Man pics and of course I didn't touch my phone for 5 days and I don't have a single pic but thanks to my Bff @jeromeduran he captured one of the best moments in my life! @stickity13 surprised me at my fav place in the world and proposed 💍 And I couldn't be happier! We are getting married guy," she said in the post.
Noah, who last played for the Memphis Grizzlies, also went on social media to share a photo and to celebrate the happy news. The couple has been dating since July of last year.
"Proposing to you was the easiest decision of my life. Seeing that smile riding the playa at the burn... I will never forget that," he wrote. He added, "I love u. On another note this wedding is about to be lit."
