It is quite a stretch…from ballet shoes and modern dance to "slinging mud" and "throwing pots"…or is it?! According to Spanish Village clay artist, Elizabeth Woolrych some of the basics she learned in dance at 6 years old carry through to her pottery. It is all about "line and form". "When I was a dancer, I created shapes with my body" like living sculpture. "Now I use my hands to create shapes in clay."
Her fascination in working with clay surfaced around the same time she started studying dance. When she was a child her family spent many summers vacationing in Cape Cod. Often, during those summer visits, she would watch a local potter throwing on the wheel. "I can remember thinking the clay was magically raising!"
When she was 11, she and her little brother walked to Cal Western through the canyon by their house, to a summer pottery class. It was taught by Franklin Jew, a well respected San Diego area potter and, for years, a member of the Potters' Guild in Spanish Village. A few years later, when she discovered Franklin Jew's studio in Ocean Beach, she pestered him until he agreed to let her join the adult pottery class, although she was only 15 at the time.
When she graduated from High School, her parents agreed to take her to a clay workshop in the Cape Cod area. The teacher was the potter she had watched throw so many times as a child. That clay artist was Harry Holl. Following the workshop, Elizabeth, then 18, was one of three students chosen by the master potter for a two year apprenticeship. "It was a lot of work, long hours of mixing clay and other menial jobs, but I got a lot of experience throwing, too!" The work was intense, but she was able to perfect some very intricate techniques during those 2 years.
When the apprenticeship was over, Elizabeth stayed in Cape Cod but was ready for a change! She began working on a fishing boat "because it paid really well!" She saved her money in order to continue her study of dance. When she had enough saved, she went to Boston to attend dance class and perform with a professional dance group. When the money ran out, the cycle started again…working, saving, dancing!
Within a few years, a family emergency brought Elizabeth back to San Diego…it was supposed to be temporary…that was some 35 years ago!! She hunted down her mentor, Franklin Jew…got back into pottery. Found a modern dance group…got back into dance. Waited tables to make ends meet. And she made new friends…who told her about the Potters' Guild in Spanish Village. "I listened to everything people had to say, their opinions about Spanish Village…both good and bad. But at some point, I just had to see for myself. I knew in my gut that Spanish Village was a good fit for me. As luck would have it, a studio artist needed a partner right away."
I asked Elizabeth what she liked most about being a member of Spanish Village. "It's the interaction with other artists. Can you really tell if you are growing as an artist if you are working alone in the garage? Being around other artists makes you stretch and experiment. As artists, we all need to experiment. I like to share results, both good and bad, with the other artists for their input."
Elizabeth likes to experiment with firing techniques. One is a westernized version of Raku, the 16th Century Japanese firing method. The traditional Raku technique involves firing, then removing the work from the kiln to air cool quickly, rather than slowly in the kiln. The western version, also known as American Raku involves heating the clay, removing it when it is red hot and placing it in a container of combustibles, like newspaper, sawdust, leaves, straw, etc. which causes flames, "bursts" of color and soot blackening. Actually the technique was the result of a "happy accident" when an artist doing a demo of Raku dropped the red hot piece he was removing from the kiln into some nearby dry leaves!
Elizabeth is currently experimenting with seaweed wraps using a "saggar". A saggar is a vessel originally used to protect a piece of pottery from smoke, gases and kiln debris during firing. Elizabeth uses the saggar to pack combustibles around a piece during the firing, not only to affect the color but also the patterns in the colors.
For Elizabeth, it is not about brilliant colors. It is about subtle colors, simple shapes and clean lines. "I like to see the clay. I also like using black to emphasize the shape and lines of a piece, rather than multiple colors that might distract from those lines."
Of course to achieve those "simple" clean lines and shapes requires difficult throwing techniques and years of practice. We have all seen the shot of the potter, throwing a piece on the wheel, arm elbow-deep, wheel spinning, hollowing out the vessel, thinning the walls. A good artist makes it all look so easy!!
Elizabeth is not only an award-winning clay artist. She is also a well-respected educator. She has been teaching for more than 25 years. She introduces children as young as 6 to working in clay with a technique called "hand building". This is also the primary technique used by accomplished clay sculptors.
However, wheel throwing remains Elizabeth favorite technique. "I generally won't seriously teach this technique to kids under 10, although I often let younger kids play a little with it. However, they won't have the upper body strength or muscle coordination to throw successfully."
Elizabeth's proudest accomplishment as an educator thus far, was being invited to China for three weeks to demonstrate and lecture at the Academy of Arts and Design in Beijing.
For awhile, Elizabeth was making pottery to show and sell in her studio, teaching, dancing professionally and even modeling…all at the same time! "This was a wonderful time, but lots of work! I am glad now that I took advantage of each and every opportunity that came along, rather than going to college. Especially the dance… I would probably have missed out on the dancing. A dancer's career is such a small window of time!! I still get that "feeling" every time I watch a dance performance! I can't dance professionally anymore…but I can dance in my living room! Pottery, on the other hand is wide open…the possibilities are endless."
Elizabeth loves "slinging mud" and "throwing pots" …the feel of the earth and water gliding between her fingers. And she loves simple colors and patterns. It all brings her back to the summers spent in Cape Cod, playing in the sand and looking at the patterns and colors on the beach as the tide went out. And I would be willing to bet that on those cool summer days on the beach as a child, there was dancing!
Thanks for Listening!!
Elizabeth's work can be seen 7 days a week from 11am-4pm in Studio 6 of Spanish Village Art Center. You can meet and talk to the artist Friday, Saturday & Monday.
Elizabeth will be participating, along with several other clay artists, in the San Diego Potters' Guild Semi-Annual Sale, November 8-9, 2014 on the Spanish Village Patio.

Council Launches Consultation on Changes to Local Support for Council Tax Scheme
Scarborough Borough Council has launched a consultation to seek the public's views on proposed changes to the Local Support for Council Tax (LSCT) scheme currently in operation in the borough.
The council needs to change the scheme from 1 April 2016 because there will not be enough money next year to pay out to those currently claiming LSCT. This is because the Government funding the council receives to resource its services is once again being reduced.
The proposed changes only apply to the scheme's working age customers. The scheme for pension age customers is set by Government and is not affected by any of the options set out in the council's consultation.
The changes being proposed are:
- From 1 April 2016 all working age customers claiming LSCT would pay at least 12.5% or 15% of their council tax, basing any entitlement to LSCT on a maximum of either 87.5% or 85% of council tax liability, rather than the 90% currently in use.
- From April 2016, Housing Benefit regulations are changing so that claims can only be backdated for a maximum of four weeks instead of six months. For ease of administration the council proposes to align its LSCT scheme with the new Housing Benefit regulations.
- In another change to Housing Benefit regulations, the family premium, which increases the amount of LSCT people with children receive, will not be awarded to new customers or existing customers who become responsible for a child for the first time after April 2016. For ease of administration the council proposes to align its LSCT scheme with the new Housing Benefit regulations.
LSCT is how the council helps people on a low income to pay their council tax bill. It replaced the national Council Tax Benefit scheme which ended in April 2013 and had been fully funded by the Government.
The public consultation is also considering additional options such as the possibility of reducing spending in other council areas, using council reserves, increasing council tax and implementing financial penalties for those who fail to tell the council they are no longer entitled to a discount or exemption.
The consultation is open until 18 October and can be accessed and completed online at scarborough.gov.uk/consultation
The final decision on the proposed changes will be taken by Full Council in January 2016.

Richard Gebhardt, 1990
Richard Gebhardt: Introspection and observation for insight and instruction in the process of writing, 1990
This reading is useful for moving beyond the two 'opposite' paradigms for the teaching of writing (eg 1. linear instructional 2. recursive, reflective). Gebhardt believes that teachers need to be critically aware of research. But they need to question and validate it by their own observations of their own pupils. By such means they can reclaim greater professional agency which is what Richard Andrews argues for explicitly in Getting Going (2008), and what Philip Jarrett (HMI) supports implicitly in English at the Crossroads (2009).
Gebhardt uses reflection and observation of his pupils' behaviours as writers, and his own behaviour as a writer, to resolve apparent contradictions in research. Some research advocates recursive and some research advocates linear writing practices; Gebhardt moves towards a comprehensive theory that understands the appropriacy of both - for different writers, at different times, handling different genres. He devised questions to guide observers of writing. These questions focus on what writers do physically (shuffling, muttering, reading), how they develop their text (listing, writing, editing) and what signs of their mental behaviour they display (glancing, perusing, pausing). Further, he analyses the proportion of time spent on different behaviours and their sequence.
His conclusions are that
* different people write differently
* some leap straight in, others procrastinate
* some are helped by quick backward glances, others by longer re-reading
* some refer to notes, plans and other sources
* similar observation foci and reflections help children to gain insights into the writing process and more confidence in their own style and choices.

Easter 2012Posted: April 10, 2012 Filed under: Holidays 1 Comment
Our Easter weekend was a whirlwind. Nick had rehearsal at the church on Friday night, Saturday was full with soccer, an Easter egg hunt at my parents' church, two services at church, time with both families, and Sunday held two more services and even more time with family. Around the holidays, I'm always extra thankful that our families are close so we don't have to travel in order to enjoy all the festivities on both sides. We're usually pretty tired by the end of it, but happy to have enjoyed lots of time with those we love. And as with any holiday post, there are LOTS of pictures.
After soccer on Saturday morning, we went to my parents' church for the egg hunt. Reuben was more anxious to find out what was inside each egg than to try to collect as many as he could.
They also had some inflatables which Reuben LOVES. He hasn't quite figured out, though, that it isn't a place to practice his WWF or UFC skills. Brynlee enjoyed just sitting there since it was her first time to be in an inflatable.
Reuben even had some time to swing with PawPaw.
After the egg hunt, Nick took Reuben to the mall (in search of his wallet he lost the day before…and he found it!), and while they were there they peeked at the Easter bunny. Reuben was a bit skeptical so this is as close as they got 😉
Nick's parents had us over on Saturday night after church. Both kids had a great time opening their Easter baskets from Grandma and Grandpa.
Nick's cousins are always so great to hang out with and entertain Reuben. Taking pictures at the computer seems to be a new tradition. Right here, they're all doing Reuben's impression of the dead skunk on the road 🙂
My babies on Easter morning before church.
(I made Reuben's tie using this tutorial and here's a tutorial explaining how I made Gabriella's bow.)
After an AMAZING church service (you can see it HERE), we headed outside with our friends to take some pictures with everyone in their super cute Easter outfits. These friends BLESS me so much. I am SO thankful.
Our family…my cup runneth over.
(For those observant eyes, Gabriella is wearing a different onesie and no tights in this picture. Why? She had a blowout within minutes of being in the church nursery. Very graceful.)
We gave up on trying to get the boys to all smile at the camera. Instead, we told them what kind of face to make…
Brielle and Madelyn joined in just in time for…
and TIRED…
Reuben ADORES his Uncle Chris.
After church, we headed to my parents' house for a delicious lunch. After lunch, Reuben went to the backyard for an egg hunt my mom had set up for him. He had so much fun. Cabos followed closely behind him.
After Reuben finished, we took Brynlee to the front yard for her egg hunt. She wasn't too sure about it, but after some coaxing, she joined in the fun.
She clapped for herself when she finished 🙂
The precious Coleman family…my brother in law–Chad, sister–Rachel, and niece–Brynlee.
The beautiful Krones…my brother in law–Neal and sister–Shannon.
And another picture of the Agimudie family. (Somehow we forgot to take a picture of my parents!!!)
Once pictures were finished, we went inside so Reuben and Brynlee could open up their eggs and collect the prizes inside. One of the eggs had a dollar bill in it and when Reuben took it out, he said, "Offering! Thank you, Cammie, for the offering!"
After a much needed afternoon nap, we finally sat down and gave Reuben and Gabriella their gifts from us. Without talking about it, Nick and I each got the kids an Easter basket separately, so they got double the gifts this year. Ooops.
We had such a great weekend. So thankful for a chance to celebrate our RISEN KING with our friends and family.

Amy, I love your blue dress…so pretty, fun Easter!

World Masters Picture Study introduces fine art to your child in an easy to use format especially designed for homeschoolers! Use this in your group study time as an easily accessible way to learn about some of the greatest artists and their finest works.
Charlotte Mason believed Picture Study was an important part of a child's education.
"Children from age 6 should not only be encouraged to create art, but to appreciate it also. Children will develop a comfortable fondness with what they get used to seeing and this is why we encourage children to look at excellent art… We cannot measure the influence that one or another artist has upon the child's sense of beauty, upon his power of seeing, as in a picture, the common sights of life; he is enriched more than we know in having really looked at even a single picture. It is a mistake to think that colour is quite necessary to children in their art studies. They find colour in many places, and are content, for the time, with form and feeling in their pictures." – Charlotte Mason
Selection Of Artwork
The art works have been set out in historical periods, with painters from the 16th century to the 20th. Charlotte Mason believed that you should focus on one artist at a time and get to know their style and several of their works. There are at least two works from each artist.
To complete this study in a year you may like to study 4 artists (8 pictures) per term.
Artists include:
- Da Vinci
- Michelangelo
- Raphael
- Pieter Brueghel the Elder
- Honthorst
- Velazquez
- Gainsborough
- Millet
- Monet
- Renoir
- Degas
- Cézanne
- Seurat
- Van Gogh
- Rousseau
- Matisse
Using Picture Study In Your Homeschool
Four Easy Steps
- Select an art work from one of our pages, read the provided details and facts, then, pin up and display for the week!
- Have your children study the work for around 5 minutes. Remind them to look for all the little details.
- Now remove the painting and have them describe the picture for you.
- If you want to spend a little more time see if they can reproduce the work (from memory) as a sketch. This is a fun family activity!

Hi, Im a new WPMU DEV premium user.
I have an existing WP install hosted on my own hosting package (with NetRegistry).
My WP install is a MU (multi network) installation and I currently use a plug in to create a network of networks - each network is 'tied' to a separate domain and I use is an Addon domain in my hosting package.
Currently my WP version is 3.6.1 and when I try to upgrade to 3.7x most of my sites on the network get archived.
I joined WPMU DEV so I could use better and supported multi network plugins and get support from the experts.
Just looking for your best advice on how to migrate my current installation to WP 3.8 and start to use some of the WPMU plugins and themes.

Speak Up storyteller: Rachel Leventhal-Weiner/
Less than a month to go before our inaugural Speak Up storytelling event at Real Art Ways in Hartford, CT. May 4 at 7:00 PM. Admission is free.
Today I'm proud to introduce our third storyteller, Rachel Leventhal-Weiner. _____________________________
Rachel Leventhal-Weiner
Rachel Leventhal-Weiner is a sociologist mom living in West Hartford. A native of New Jersey, Rachel has been writing creative stories since she was a little girl, but is only now braving the stage to share a personal account of her own life.
By day, Rachel divides her time between her doctoral dissertation project in sociology at the University of Connecticut and teaching in the Educational Studies Program at Trinity College. Though the smallish feel of the liberal arts environment is a far cry from her Rutgers University roots, she enjoys connecting with her undergraduate students and getting more involved in Hartford Public Schools as a part of the Ed Studies Program.
By afternoon, evening, and weekend, you can find Rachel filling every minute with adventures with family and friends. She is the mother of two exuberant little girls who keep her on her toes. She loves to cook most things from scratch, wishes she had more time to crochet, and is never going to give up on her dream of running a (half) marathon. She loves a good hike, a great cocktail, and time with her incredible husband, David.
Rachel spends her "free" time sipping on coffee at Hartford Baking Company while writing scholarly papers and blogging at www.roguecheerios.com.

Pears on the communal breakfast table at the B&B. Our last morning there. Sigh. There was also yummy yogurt, bread, butter, jam, and orange juice on a big lazy Susan in the middle, along with coffee and tea.
We'd sat with Meredith and a young couple with a child on Sunday morning, listening to her tell tales of the B&B trade. The couple had just bought a place and were going to turn it into a B&B. It was interesting because although Meredith paused to summarize for us in English, I found I could understand enough of her French to have an idea of what she was talking about. Cool!
This morning, we had Meredith and Bill to ourselves for a while. Bill and I talked about photography…basically I picked his brain after looking through portofolios on the coffee table in the other room. Most of our travels over the past couple of days were on Meredith's recommendation and we were so glad. She said enough to pique our interest without telling us too much about what to expect, so we felt that rush of discovery.
We took off intending to stay somewhere between Nancy and Strassbourg.
Needed a shot of this window cleaning station at a French fuel station. Aw! They even give you little disposable plastic gloves to wear! A little disconcerting to see the word "raclette," here describing what we'd call a squeegee. Remember that yummy raclette dinner the first night? 😉
Each and every time we fueled up it was difficult. The first time, we had to figure out what kind of fuel to put in it… Okay, diesel, but which one? Oh. It was written on the inside of the gas cap. Clever rental company! Then figuring out where to pay. Huh! Seemed a little different each time.
Inside the station. They have some really different expectations of their potato chips over here!
We followed a sign that said "Fraises – 800m" off the two-lane highway and bought a kilo of fresh strawberries from a lady in a little caravan by the road. Fabulous: large and sweet.
Went to Domremy, the birthplace of Joan d'Arc. They weren't too nice to her when she was alive, but they are sure proud of her now. You see "Joan was here" all over the place! This is the door into the house where she was born round about 1412. Explored the house and the chapel right next door.
We thought we'd stay there in a place mom and my niece stayed ten years ago, but oddly, all the hotels were closed! Huh!
An example from a small town along the way (St. Dizier?) of how much room you have to walk in along some roads. These villages weren't built for two way auto traffic!
Stayed in the dodgiest hotel of the trip this night, in Neufchateau. Just didn't have the energy to keep looking after a cold and windy day. Bought a bottle of Gewurtztraminer and some cookies at a discount market and ate those with the strawberries from St. Dizier and the last of the cheese from the street market in Dormans.

THE WORD The art of the artisan
Alberto Cavalli, director of the Michelangelo Foundation for Creativity and Craftsmanship, and author of The Master's Touch: Essential elements of artisanal excellence, believes that craftsmanship and artistic creativity go hand-in-hand
In his Bauhaus Manifesto of 1919, Walter Gropius wrote: "Architects, sculptors, painters – we all must return to craftsmanship! For there is no such thing as 'art by profession'. There is no essential difference between the artist and the artisan. The artist is an exalted artisan."
The artist as an exalted artisan, or rather, the artist and the artisan as two sides of the same coin, working together in harmony to achieve a level of excellence that manifests itself in difference, uniqueness and competitive advantage: a perspective which, even after almost one hundred years, is still extremely seducing and challenging. Because it brings us directly into the heart of that galaxy of competences, passions and expertise which the contemporary master artisans should possess, if they want to bridge their time-honoured manual dexterities (often imbued with precious artistic skills) into the future.
A future where the concepts of rarity, beauty and perfection will be constantly challenged by the advent of new hyper-technological possibilities, and where it will be more and more important to share a common language, precise and alive, to cultivate a taste for those beautiful and carefully crafted objects, whose cultural meaning blends design and history, form and function, inspiration and vision.
With The Master's Touch. Essential elements of artisanal excellence, published by Marsilio Editori with the support of the Michelangelo Foundation for Creativity and Craftsman- ship, we wanted to try to lay the groundwork for a common language to describe the distinguished work of master artisans everywhere, hoping that these criteria will be the start of a serene, constructive and relevant conversation around the definition of quality in craftsmanship.
Our idea was to take a close look at what determines excellence in craftsmanship and identify the key qualities shared by some of Europe's nest master artisans. Through systematic research and analysis of relevant terminology, legislation, public opinion and in-depth interviews with master artisans, we have distilled 11 specific criteria for excellence and developed a corresponding assessment tool that can be re ned with use over time. Authenticity, competence, craftsmanship, creativity, innovation, interpretation, originality, talent, territory, tradition and training: these are the words that were found, analysed and contextualised in the field of fine and creative craftsmanship. They constitute the "bricks" necessary to edify a solid conceptual base not just to de- ne "quality", but to look of this quality in an objective, constructive way. Once the criteria were identified, we tested their practical application through in-depth interviews with recognized masters in Italy, France, Germany, Portugal, Spain, Switzer- land, and the United Kingdom, which allowed for the further testing of the terms, proving them to be robust and meaningful across these different cultures. The 22 European masters interviewed represent a broad range of high-quality craftsmanship, from ceramics and violin-making to fine tailoring and jewellery by way of metal sculpture and cabinetmaking. Asked to speak to the importance of the various criteria in their work, their testimony grounds the criteria in lived experience, affirming and enhancing their relevance. These artisans, who have devoted a significant portion of their lives to achieving mastery, were able to provide specific examples to ground the terms, ensuring that they apply to a full range of ne crafts – from ceramics to violin-making – as well as to a diversity of cultures. The distinctiveness with which only a real "master" can imbue an object, and which is deeply linked to the concept of excellence and to the cultural significance of this expression, is a distinguishing trait that creates value. But we have to find an appropriate way to communicate this "difference": not only by giving master artisans back the central role that they deserve, but also by rediscovering those methodological paradigms that can provide a holistic and up-to-date image of the sector of ne craftsman- ship. Seeking to establish an objective assessment of excellence can prove to be an effective communication tool, bearing in mind that, given its complexity, the artistic crafts system can- not be reduced to a few basic, finite and simplified components.
Attempting to attach a mathematical formula to artisanal excellence would be misguided. Rather, we should try to de ne as clearly as possible the attributes that an "excel- lent" artisanal product must possess. Such an exercise would serve a dual concrete purpose: that of improving the creators' visibility and that of presenting their method as a set of rules, practices, knowledge and experiences essential to the attainment of the "character" that is the main ingredient of artisanal excellence. The master artisans' work, in fact, rarely receives the acknowledgement it deserves. If we are to recognize this work – and to advance the field as a whole – we must be able to understand exactly what it is that makes a master. We must be able to identify our master artisans and distinguish the qualities that constitute excellence in craftsmanship.
By developing criteria for excellence, we are creating a common language that aims to set the "gold standard" that can inspire new generations of young artisans and to which all artisans can aspire.
All language is alive, which is to say that it is constantly changing to reflect new realities, perspectives and imperatives. As such, with this book we tried to anticipate that the criteria for excellence will evolve over time and with use: assessing excellence should be a fluid examination of measurements and visions that are continuously evolving.
This is why we designed a matrix for how to work with the criteria in a way that allows it to be re ned as it is put to use in new contexts. It is our hope that a reasoned and objective assessment of excellence, based on the construction of a shared and common specific language, will act as an incentive to preserve, improve and rediscover that extraordinary array of competences, abilities, skills and passions that underpins the very best of artisanal production, in the forms of those objects that make our lives better, our homes more beautiful, and our future more human.

Directed by Bill Bennett

Cinemas George Street, Hoyts Broadway, Greater Union Macquarie, Cinema Paris
Bill Bennett's desire to make his movies in unconventional ways sometimes gets him into trouble. That's a danger when you like taking risks.
Kiss or Kill (1997) was made on location and then virtually remade in post-production, with the whole soundtrack re-recorded when Bennett decided the initial sound didn't work. Some of the final film worked wonderfully - just not all of it.
His experiments in improvisation with actors go back to the start of his Australian career and have produced some of his best work - Malpractice (1988), for example, a superbly realistic drama about a family going through a botched childbirth.
They've also produced some lesser work, such as Tempted, which was made two years ago, before his recently released comedy, The Nugget.
Set in New Orleans, Tempted is a film about other films, rather than life, and that may be why it never achieves a sense of conviction. It's a neo-film noir, shot with a yellowish tint so that everything looks a bit putrescent.
A voice-over at the beginning tells us the city is built on a swamp, and these "dark, shitty, shifting waters" are "my town". A funeral is taking place and the narrator is the dead guy - like the most famous opening narration in film noir, that of William Holden floating in the pool in Sunset Blvd.
The set-up continues in this hard-boiled way. The stiff is Charlie LeBlanc (Burt Reynolds), a construction millionaire whose young wife Lily (Saffron Burrows) is his joy and his torment.
With 30 years between them, he can't convince himself that she's faithful, so he offers a young carpenter a large sum of money to "take a run at her".
Jimmy (Peter Facinelli) finds the whole idea distasteful but he needs the dough to finish law school. The golden rule is that he can't tell anyone, which is the first thing he does, to his best buddy Ted (Eric Mabius).
This is like many noir plots, in which a good man goes bad, usually for a dame. The great films in this genre should frighten anyone off, because the chance of suffering by comparison is strong - but then, doing the wrong thing is part of the genre. Bennett takes risks, as I said. In that, he's like Jimmy, who knows he shouldn't take the job.
The casting is strong and quirky, but the sense that the plot is ruling the characters undermines the roles. Reynolds, looking like a suntanned lizard, plays Charlie as creepy but vulnerable. Lily is all over him like a newlywed, but it's hard to see why. It's not his dough, because she's not depicted as a gold-digger. Her character is a former Calvin Klein model, just as Burrows was, and the camera is all over her too, which contributes to the seaminess.
Bennett shoots everything in a heightened way, so that we won't mistake it for life, but that only works if the actors keep it real.
If we don't believe in what they're doing, the style may feel forced, and Tempted is like that. The director's embellishments - in the form of 360-degree pans or jump cuts and such - begin to seem like smoke and mirrors. His improv technique is unusual, because it is said to happen on set.
The actors here got scripts with situation, rather than dialogue. After extensive discussion and some rehearsal, they were encouraged to improvise lines with the camera running. With directors like Mike Leigh, the improvising happens in months of rehearsal without cameras. Leigh then writes a complete script and films it as written.
Bennett's approach is more of a highwire act. Sometimes it can lead to great spontaneity. In Tempted, it leads to a lack of it. The paradox is that the characters here aren't freed by this method or made more natural.
They become more like chess pieces, their actions dictated by plot, instead of nature. There is often an inevitability in film noir, a sense of spinning towards disaster, but that's not the same thing.
We have to believe they might be capable of doing the right thing, even as they don't. That's what makes them human - which is important when we're watching them do very bad things.

WaterBrook Press (September 4, 2007)
Woodsmall's first Amish novel that I read, When the Heart Cried quickly climbed to a spot amongst my favorites because of her storytelling skill and ability to trap the reader's imagination in the characters' lives. While I enjoy Amish fiction few authors in this genre have captured my fancy and transported me as Woodsmall is able to within the first few paragraphs and sustain that atmosphere of page turning anticipation beyond the final page of the book. Thankfully I had all three of this series to read at once and am impatiently awaiting more from this author's pen.
In this second installment of her Sisters of the Quilt series, Hannah has fled the constraints of her Amish community because the people who matter most insist she admit wrongdoing where she is innocent. Rather than compromise her morals and skew the story to match what they believe happened, she leaves home to find an aunt who she has never met but she senses could be a kindred spirit in this trial. When she discovers her aunt in Ohio, she finds much more than what she was hoping for and is also thrust into a lifestyle she has never desired or truly understood. However this new lack of restraint on her pursuits provides the opportunity to pursue a dream that seemed impossible when it first entered her consciousness. She has lost so much that focusing on this dream may prove to be the distraction she needs to move on and start a new life away from the pain and betrayal that she so recently endured. Where will Hannah finally land and will she discover her true purpose in life along the way? Will her family ever come to recognize their erroneous accusations for what they are? Read on in this riveting saga of Amish life for more insight into Hannah's story. (ISBN#9781400072934, 336pp, $13.99)

Read on for a round up of my Marker Geek Monday posts for Stamping Bella and links to my YouTube Copic colouring videos.
Read on to see my card for today featuring some adorable new clear stamps and an older digital image, plus a Copic Colour Palette to go with it!
Now the dust has settled following the closure of my online store Quixotic Paperie, I have made Make it Colour Blending Card available to purchase again as promised! I am offering the card directly here on the blog HERE.
Make it Colour Blending Card is absolutely my favourite paper for colouring with alcohol based markers like Copic and Touch Twin. I use it almost every day and very rarely colour on anything else.
That being said, paper can be a very personal choice. Your colouring style may be better suited to one type of paper over another, and that is perfectly ok! With this in mind, I have now added a small A5 Tester Pack to the products offered, so you can try the paper out first before investing in one of the larger A4 packs.
For UK fans of Make it Colour Blending Card I have added a 200 sheet bulk offer to give fellow colouring enthusiasts the best value possible. Sadly due to the weight and cost of shipping I can't offer this internationally at the moment.
Any queries or issues, please get in touch using the contact form HERE.
Today I am delighted to be joining in with a fun video hop for one of my favourite bloggers: Sandy Allnock. I love Sandy's work, especially her Copic colouring which is a total inspiration and her enthusiasm is infectious. Not only is she a fantastic colourist, Sandy has some very bright ideas indeed as you will see when you read on!
I've got a fun clean and simple (CAS) card to share today using a die set that I am sure is going to be well used in this house!
Read on to see the card along with a Copic speed colouring video and Copic Colour Palette.
It's Day 14 of the 30 Day Colouring Challenge!
I have a fun little Copic coloured image and Copic Marker Colour Palette for you today, so keep on reading.
This is my second post of the day, so make sure you scroll down and check out my St Patrick's Day card and video!
This is my second post for today, don't be alarmed, it won't be happening too often. 😉 If you want to check out my earlier post scroll on down or click HERE.
Why the second post? One of my favourite bloggers – Kathy at The Daily Marker – is hosting a fun challenge, and it seemed like the perfect way to make sure I do a little colouring every day this month. Like Kathy, I won't be making a card every day (that would be more than a challenge) but I will be doing a little colouring. I'm sure some days I will manage something a little more involved and others will be short and sweet. Today I've got a few adorable bunnies to share, inspired by Kathy herself, and a little colouring video to go with them!
I wasn't sure it would happen, but here I am with a final Christmas card for 2014! Read on to see the card, a speed colouring video and get some updated waffle from me. 😉
It is no secret that I love colouring hair. It is one of my favourite things to do. That said, I am a little out of practice, so to rectify that I turned to one of my favourite stamp artists for awesome hair: Krista Smith and her fantastic Saturated Canary images. I need to get back into my hair "groove", so bear with me, but I filmed the colouring process so you can check out a speed colouring video. I have also provided a Copic Marker Colour Palette in the post, so read on!

*sigh* I arrived home yesterday after spending a week with family for Christmas to find that the blog posts I scheduled before leaving had failed to post. Typical! So bear with me, I'll be sharing those posts over the next three days to catch up.
A belated Merry Christmas to you all. I hope you had a fantastic time, whatever you were doing. We spent the week in Devon, mostly tucked up indoors as it was very wet and windy! I managed to pick up a brand new cold from someone, which I have brought home with me, so no doubt I'll be seeing in the New Year huddled up on the sofa.
As January draws closer I'm contemplating some plans for the New Year, which I will let you in on as soon as I can. Quixotic Paperie is currently closed while I take a break for Christmas and New Year and will reopen again shortly after New Year's Day, probably on the 4th or 5th of January (and yes there will be some fantastic bargains to be had).
In the meantime, here's one of those cards that should have been posted before Christmas Day!
This card was created for our newest niece, for her first Christmas, using Whimsy Stamps Santa and Teddy Portrait.
I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Make it Colour Blending Card and coloured with a combination of ShinHan Touch Twin Markers and Copics. The designer paper is from a Graphic 45 8×8 pad. The gorgeous holly flourish is a Make it Crafty Lasercut Chipboard embellishment coloured with Twinkling H20s.
I posted some photos on Facebook during the colouring process, and here they are!
I'll be back tomorrow with another one of the cards that should have been blogged in my absence!

Children would find it much easier to learn to read and write if they were first taught how the English language works and what words mean, rather than trying to sound out words.
According to new research, English is so complex that relying on phonics – the common practice of teaching children to read by sounding out words – makes learning English much more difficult than it needs to be.
Dr Victoria Devonshire, of the Department of Psychology at the University of Portsmouth, trialled a new method of teaching reading and writing with 120 children aged five-seven years old and found the average reading age leapt by 14 months after just six months.

Primele is the lettering studio of sisters Patricia and Rachel Mumau. Begun in 2009, Primele continues to be a home for contemporary calligraphy and hand drawn lettering. Our work has received kind nods from the people at Martha Stewart Weddings, Town and Country Weddings, Brides Magazine, Design Sponge, and Oh So Beautiful Paper, among others.
In 2011 Primele released Fawnsberg, a designer stationery collection dedicated to quality paper for everyday occasions.
Patricia and Rachel live together with their family in New York's orchard country, on the ridge of Lake Ontario. The farm is shared with a couple cows, too many ducks, thirty chickens all named Helen (yes, all of them), a pair of milking goats, a dog because every farm needs a dog, and cats to play in the hay.

Hey friends! Hope you are well, today I will be showing you a wearable red liner look. It is a really simple eye look to do and you can change the colour to suit you.
To begin, I covered my eyelid with Urban Decay's Primer Potion in the colour Eden to provide a nude base and to enhance the colour of my red liner. Then I took an angled brush using KIKO's Eyeshadow stick in number 37 to create the winged line. I find it easier to create the wing first then to come back to shaping the eye. I think for this look you should draw a strong flick to emphasise the boldness of the colour you are using. A delicate or small wing would just be overshadowed by your eyelashes especially if you have long ones like me.
To make the red colour more vibrant, I layered over KIKO's stick with the eye shadow Cherry Cordial from the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette. It really helped sharpen up the line compared to just using the cream stick.
Lastly, I then tight-lined my eyes with a bit of black gel eyeliner just to make my lashes look a bit fuller. Although, this step is optional. Finish off with mascara, blush, highlighter, contour and a nude lip (such as bellapierre's lipstick in Envy) to keep the focus all on the eyes.
I hope you enjoyed this simple yet bold look. Let me know in the comments below what you would like to see next. Til' next time, bye! Una x

Wow. This Iranian deal just keeps getting better and better, doesn't it?
In one of his most recent tweets to his followers on social media, Iran's Supreme Leader, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, had this little gem of a proverb to share. Referring to comments President Obama made to quiet any doubt about the Iran deal, Khamenei responded that while Obama may think he can easily knock out the Iranian military the truth is that the USA would be committing suicide if we tried to do so.
"US president has said he could knock out Iran's military. We welcome no war, nor do we initiate any war, but…"
Trending: President Trump takes a bite out of the greedy healthcare industry with executive order
"We welcome no war, nor do we initiate any war, but…
If any war happens, the one who will emerge loser will be the aggressive and criminal U.S."
--- Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
(Yes, right about the same time we were signing the deal with his country.)

I love that hypocritical lie he tells, "We welcome no war, nor do we initiate any war…" I think the nations of Iraq, Yemen and Syria would all like to agree to disagree with Khamenei on those points. Iran has been the central instigator of unrest in the region for years, using the stick of their military arm, the Islamic Fascist Extremists of their Al Quds Forces, to poke and prod and push their neighbors into violence. His obviously empty threats are simply laughable… and the moment a Republican enters the Oval Office you can be sure that just as when Reagan entered the Presidency in 1979, the aggressive Iranian Tiger will return to being a passive Iranian pussycat.Facebook, Google Plus, & Twitter.

I recently read an article that listed some things that guys really love. It got some things right, however, there were some omissions. One notable one was the fact that guys love pussy, especially shaved pussy like can be found on ALS Scan.

mindfreedom has brought this horrible and inhumane situation to my attention that is happening at this very moment in Washington State. I urge each of you reading this post to take action by calling Western State Hospital, and writing to the Governor and Attorney Generals office in Washington State demanding humanitarian action.

A Call to Action
Free Emily from Western State Hospital, and Reopen Court Case from Year 2001!
by Cindi Fisher on behalf of the Darguzhyte family:
Hello Friends around the World:
Eita Darhguzene needs your help to free her daughter, Emily Darguzhyte and to prove her daughter's innocence in a 2001 kangaroo court case.
Please call and request that Emily be given her freedom and returned to her family immediately. She has been involuntarily confined and drugged for over nine months and now the doctors are petitioning for an additional 180 days. They are using her false charge and conviction in 2001 as part of the support for their petition, and charging yet again that she is gravely disabled.
She goes to court 1 July 2010, but keep speaking out until she is free.
Please call the CEO of Western State Hospital, Jess Jamison 253-756-2525 and tell him to instruct the treatment team to withdraw their petition and give Emily her freedom.
Please E-mail Governor Gregoir and request that Emily be given her freedom and tell her to investigate and reopen the court case against Emily Dargughyte in 2001.

More information:
Click here http://eitaleta.blogspot.com/2010/06/mother-fights-to-prove-daughter.html to read the details of the impulsive mistake made by court house guards and the cover up that followed, resulting in young Emily, then 19 years old, being illegally coerced into plea bargaining to gain her freedom, in a courtroom where no one else was present except Emily's parents, after over 165 days of psychiatric drugging, jail and isolation from her family. No interpreter has ever present.
In this latest travesty of justice, Emily, now 28, was sentenced first to a 90 day involuntary commitment with court-ordered forced drugging and then manipulated into signing an additional 180 day confinement to Western State Hospital. She was committed as gravely disabled because she refused to talk to the hospital emergency room staff and because she was determined to give a urine sample as she was asked to do.
Emily's speaks English, but her native language is Lithuanian and Lithuanian is the only language spoken at home. An interpreter was never present.
Almost 300 days ago, Emily went to the local emergency room for dysmenorrhea, a form of severe menstrual cramps. Her chart stated she had been hospitalized before at Western State Hospital, so instead of treating her dysmenorrhea in the regular emergency room she had first been placed in, they transported her to the part of the hospital reserved for those with mental illness.
Having been misunderstood and unjustly committed from this behavioral health room before, she refused to respond to their questions and kept silent until her mother arrived. She then conversed quite fluently in Lithuanian with her mother.
Misunderstanding About Urine Sample Escalates
When asked for a urine sample she sat on the commode for a half hour, trying to overcome the effects of prior medication which causes difficulty in urinating. The staff became impatient after waiting a half hour for the sample and demanded she get off the commode.
Her mother, knowing Emily's difficulty, had left the room to give Emily privacy and time. When her mother returned; she was shocked and horrified to see Emily face down on the floor with her hands handcuffed behind her back. When Emily had refused to move, the staff did not attempt to locate Emily's mother, but became impatient and instead sought the assistance of security to have her forcefully removed from the commode.
Given such cruel, embarrassing, and humiliating treatment, Emily refused to talk to the County mental health male practitioner, who had been called by the nursing staff.
For this silence... and for her determined effort to overcome a medication side effect... she lost her freedom and her health. The DMHP pronounced Emily gravely disabled, despite Emily's mother explanation that her daughter was socializing with friends and family, and caring for herself, just prior to the onset of the severe menstrual cramps; not at all gravely disabled. And 300 days later, she is now suffering physically and emotionally from the high doses of medication and their terrible side effects; and extreme isolation from her mother and family since she was involuntarily committed!
Recently, after being denied her second outing outside in 270 days with her mother, Emily, in despair, fell on the floor and cried out "I am nothing..I am nothing."
Emily and her family speak Lithuanian at home and never once was an interpreter present for any of the proceedings or events during this almost 300 day ordeal. This in itself was/is a travesty of justice, but extremely so, when after a 90 day confinement of mandated drugging, Emily was manipulated into signing up for an additional 180 days when her mother was not present.
And now Emily is very silent and talks very little with the staff and they want to use this as well, as evidence of "gravely disabled", and imprison Emily for another 180 days. They even site her 2001 charge, even though it was reduced to a coerced plea bargain, as support for this continued violation of Emily's human rights and due process of law.
If the treatment team does not withdraw the petition, we have requested a hearing (July 1, 2010) and will have Dr. Toby Watson, director of the International Center for the Study of Psychiatry and Psychology as an expert witness by telephone. But the reality is that the staff should withdraw the petition and release Emily immediately! Although they recently changed members of the treatment team, the two main petitioners were Dr. Longawa, psychiatrist, and Anneliese Simons, social worker.

My take on this situation @ this time, considering that I have limited knowledge and corresponding details related to this individual case:
I have written about and personally witnessed the inhumane and atrocious treatment patients receive from the Washington State Mental Health System and Western State Hospital before. How many innocent victims have to suffer the torture and indignity allowed in our State Mental Institutions and state funded facilities before we the people say it must STOP NOW?Washington State DSHS - Western State Hospital - The love that can bring down old stone walls -Lindsay's

The following plea for help is taken directly from the Mother's Blog:
Mother Fights to Prove Daughter Innocent! Please Email the Governor
E-MAIL Washington State Governor Gregoir : hhttp://www.governor.wa.gov/contract/
Tell her that Emily's Darguzhytes, arrest and court case in 2001 in Clark County was a gross travesty of Justice and the case should be reopened.
Emily continues to suffer from that treatment and the criminal record she does not deserve. She was dismissed from a volunteer CPR instructor position after a background check, she has been barred from visiting Canada where she went often to visit her aunt, and the charge of kidnapping which were reduced to a forced plea bargain of unlawful imprisonment is being used as support in the petition to further imprison her at the hospital. She has Court on July 1, 2010.
Call the CEO of Western State Hospital today Jess Jamieson 253-756-2525 and tell him to have Emily's treatment team withdraw their petition to keep Emily another 180 days.
By Eita Darguzhene (Mother of Emanuele Darguzhyte) email: email@example.com
Our family; my husband, our 13year old daughter Raminta, our 10 year old daughter Emanuele ( nickname Emily), and myself, Eita Darguzhene, immigrated to the USA as Refugees from Lithuania in the former USSR on October 25, 1991. We endured decades of communistic regime and persecution from the KGB and State atheism. In 1996 we became American Citizens and we expected to find in America, the land of the free; democracy, justice, peace, truth, protection of human rights and respite from unruly totalitarian regime of USSR.
Below is the tragic story of our daughter Emily, who, due to a false arrest at age 19, has endured gross human rights violation including being unjustly institutionalized, restrained and forced drug with extremely debilitating, mind altering drugs at Western State Mental Hospital (WSH) in Washington, imprisoned in a local jail, and her rights of due process of law trampled in America. Her case needs to be retried with due process of Law.
In addition, presently, that false conviction and the "mentally ill" label has been used unjustly to once again institutionalize Emily at Western State Hospital and force drug her. She has been there for almost 300 days and they are petitioning to confine her an additional 180 days. Today, we need your Help to Free Emily!!!
1) to free Emily, 28, from her present forced confinement and drugging at Western State Hospital;
Call the CEO of Western State Hospital today Jess Jamison 253-756-2525 and tell him to have Emily's treatment team withdraw their petition to keep Emily another 180 days. She has Court on July 1, 2010. Read her story below
2) to have Emily's court case from 2001 reopened,
EMAIL Governor Gregoire http://www.governor.wa.gov/contact/ and tell her that Emily's Darguzhytes, arrest and court case in 2001 in the Clark County was a gross travesty of Justice and the case should be reopened.
That case involved a false arrest, charge, cover up and unjust conviction by the criminal justice and hospital authorities.
Emanuele seems to speak good English, however she has limited English proficiency, and we speak only Lithuanian in our home. The services of a certified interpreter has never been ordered, even once, during any part of the legal proceedings or forced treatment Emily has been force to endure during this entire horrendous nightmare.
You have read about the details of her present intolerable condition on MindFreedom.org website and now here are the details of her false charge and conviction of "illegal imprisonment in 2001."
WE NEED YOUR HELP TODAY!!! Please call and email now!
Coming to America: A Nightmare Story for a Young Lithuanian Woman
by Cindi Fisher
Court Guard Acted Impulsively and Refused to Communicate with Eye Witness Parent
In 2001, Emily's mother and father accompanied her to court for a minor probation violation, of which neither her parents or Emily had understood. While at court, waiting for her hearing, Emily was accused of attempting to kidnap an 8 year old girl from the restroom in the courthouse. The following is a brief description of what actually happened:
During the court recess Eita left the courtroom and stood in the hallway directly outside the courtroom, hoping to speak to Emily's lawyer to understand the violation; meanwhile Emily went to use the restroom. Eita was standing in the hallway in direct site of the restroom door, not more than 15 feet away. A few minutes later, Eita watched Emily exit the bathroom holding a young girl by her waist, facing outward, and set her down on the floor in front of two women, one of whom, seemed to be the mother. After Emily set her down, Eita and Emily were both shocked when one of the women started screaming "what are your doing with my child?" Emily had no idea why the woman was screaming, (having only the pure intention of helping the little girl open the door, as the little girl had requested of Emily,). Emily didn't respond to the mother's screaming and walked back down the hall, past Eita, into the courtroom, and sat back down beside her dad. Eita joined them, with Emily seated between them. Within a few minutes Emily was summoned from her courtroom seat between her parents, by courthouse guards, who then forcefully removed her from the courtroom; her parents immediately followed, shocked and confused; no explanation was given to them whatsoever and the guards refused to listen or communicate in any way with them. Before they were allowed to see or talk to Emily or the guards, the guards handcuffed, booked and unlawfully imprisoned Emily in the Clark County Jail with the charge of kidnapping. We know that the details of the kidnapping would never hold up in court. According to the court record, Emily picked up the 8 year old girl carrying her under the armpits, allegedly fondling her breast; then the girl supposedly began kicking and screaming,; Emily managed to continue holding her by the armpits, yet covered her mouth with one hand and made the girl reach out and open the door. Meanwhile, directly outside the door, the mother and grandmother were waiting and apparently although hearing the so called screaming, did nothing, but according to their testimony to the guard, screamed at Emily "what are you doing?when she exited the door "with their girl". This is the part where Emily had no idea why they screamed at her and just went and sat down in the courtroom between her parents. The headliner local newspaper article the next day either purposely distorted or was given false information; the article said Emily allegedly attempted to kidnap the child from the bathroom, fondled her breast, silenced her screaming, but when she was confronted by the women outside the court she immediately released the child and tried to "mingle in a courtroom audience where the court guards found her…Nowhere in the story did it mention that she was there WITH HER PARENTS for a COURT HEARING and that her mother was an eye witness; no reporter ever attempted to interview the parents before writing the article and no interpreter was ever ordered or present. Another important fact was that one of the women who made the charges was scheduled for a felony jury trial that day on April 24,2001.
Impulsive Arrest Followed by Extreme Cover up Measures
Thus within a matter of minutes this vibrant, young 19 year old woman went from being accompanied by her parents in the U.S. courtroom of Justice to being isolated, fingerprinted, booked on a kidnapping felony charge, and locked up as an inmate in the Clark County Jail. Her cry of innocence and her parents plea of her innocence fell on deaf ears. To add insult to injury, at the arraignment the next day, Emily, frightened, confused, and shocked, was brought to court, with hands and feet shackled wearing an orange jumpsuit, designating "especially dangerous" , and was ordered to be evaluated for competency to stand trial… no interpreter was present and the parents were not allowed any input. And from that moment, the trail of unjust and unfair proceedings continued to build exponentially. Emily was certainly competent to stand trial and should have been given bail, and at the very least a court ordered interpreter should have been present; there was no prior history of a serious criminal record; there were an eye witness that seriously placed doubt on the validity of the charge and she had been at court with her parents.
It is the writer's opinion that once the authorities realized the seriousness of their error, that could easily be proven in court, a plan was needed to avoid bringing their impulsive, illegal actions to light. Pronouncing Emily incompetent to stand trial and failure to secure the services of an interpreter set the stage for extreme and harmful cover up measures to be taken.
Normally, from the time a judge request the first competency evaluation until the point where a 90 day restoration to competency is ordered, there is usually a time lapse ranging from 2 months minimum up to 4 months and it is not rare for as much as 6 months to lapse.
In Emily's case
1) this process was rushed through, in LESS THAN TWENY FOURS HOURS,
up to and INCLUDING a court order signed by the judge for a
(The usual 14 day non-medicated evaluation and the additional "up to"14 day forced medicated treatment were completely omitted --"
3) WITHIN 24 hours of her "kangaroo" court arraignment, where she was denied bail, Emily was transported to WSH --it is the authors opinion that there surely were others in jail with equally or more serious charges still awaiting evaluation and transport orders.
4) at Western State Hospital, in LESS THAN 24 hours, Emily was "evaluated as gravely disabled and a danger to others, based on the charges that were not proven;" the report requesting competency restoration for "up to 90 day confinement with permission to force medicate" was written and faxed to the court; the court received the report; signed and faxed the order back to the hospital; and the 90 day forced treatment with mind altering neuroleptic drugs began--All this IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS)
No interpreter; no bail; no input sought or allowed from pleading eyewitness parent……
Why was Emily's case given such top priority rush???
Emily maintained she was innocent throughout the 6 months of being subjected to horrific human rights violations, and being forced over and over again to repeat the crime she had been charged with but had not committed, and the possible sentence. She continually begged to be given a polygraph test. When she was returned to jail, 90 days later, she and her parents immediately instructed their second hired attorney to request a jury trial. Emily's first attorney refused to seek a jury trial and brought her to court to plead guilty to a plea bargain; but she refused. Her parents hired a second attorney, who was instructed to seek a jury trial to prove her innocence. Both of her attorneys violated her legal rights by informing her that if she did not accept a plea bargain to a lesser charge of unlawful imprisonment, she would be returned to Western State hospital for further "treatment." When her trial date was eventually set, it was at almost 90 days from the time she was returned to jail "competent to stand trial." Finally, after being kept in jail 75 days without bail, after her forced 90 day psychiatric drugging and hospital confinement, with what felt like no hope of release, she was brought into a private courtroom where no other people were present accept her parents and she agreed to plea bargain to unlawful imprisonment .
