Scientologists Talk about Being Scientologists
I think it's very clever to have a video of Scientologists just talking about being Scientologists on the new Scientology video channel, because it's obvious these kids (most of them are quite young) are sincere and really get a lot from their being Scientologists.
I enjoyed this one a lot.

Beautiful Videos
I just found out about the videos the Church put online on the Scientology web site, and I'm impressed. It's pretty obvious from the quality that they took the care to really do a good job on them. And they sure did. The emotional impact alone is exceptional. The camera work, the sound, the scripts.... all first rate!Labels: Scientology, videos

Matisse in LA
If you're a Matisse fan, don't miss the exhibition at LACMA:Matisse on Paper
Through April 20, 2008 | Ahmanson Building, Plaza Level
Besides being one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century, Henri Matisse (1869–1954) was also one of its greatest draftsmen. The works on paper in this gallery, covering nearly thirty years (from the 1920s to the 1950s) of the artist's long career, display the full range of his facility with charcoal, graphite, and ink, as well as with the sister arts of printmaking and collage, both of which he treated as extensions of drawing.>>Labels: Matisse
Dreaming of a wheat Christmas
I'm Dreaming of a wheat Christmas, is the name of the new exhibition at the Butler County History Center and Kansas Oil Museum. It showcases the incredible media of wheat weaving as art form by decorating a Christmas tree entirely with wheat ornaments of various sizes and designs.
The Wichita Wheat Weavers Guild asked to bring this Christmas exhibit to El Dorado after participating in the museum's Kafir Corn Fall Festival this past October. This exhibition has been on display at the Wichita Art Museum for seven years and at various other locations in the Wichita metro area.
These talented artists are master weavers and besides producing educational workshops and outreach programs on the history and techniques of wheat weaving, they love to share their dedication to Kansas' agriculture heritage.
As one woman said about why she weaves, “It helps me stay connected to my farming roots.” Another simply stated, “The sharing brings the greatest joy.”
An exhibit honoring our agriculture past as well as women's handiwork is worth visiting.
Museum's Executive Director, Deborah Amend said, “We are excited to have another agriculture exhibit on display at the museum, especially one that is so unique. Our current Kingdom of Kafir exhibit showcases the crop of the past, while this wheat weaving exhibit honors the crop of today.”
This free exhibit will be on display until January 31, 2007 in the Entrance Gallery of the museum. In addition to the exhibition, there will be various wheat weaving items available for purchase in the museum's gift shop. A wheat weaving is believed to bring prosperity, luck, happiness and health. So take home a bit of luck and prosperity for your home by visiting the exhibition and taking away a unique art piece for your home.
The Butler County History Center and Kansas Oil Museum is a nonprofit educational institution located on 10 acres in El Dorado. Open Monday-Saturday 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Web site: www.kansasoilmuseum.org. Telephone 316-321-9333.
