Hello,
I've used mattisse acrylic paints on a canvas and it has come up patchy when dry. I was wondering how do you get rid of the patchiness or are there alternatives?
Any help would be appreciated :)

You Ask me for Verses
by Jose Rizal
You bid me now to strike the lyre,
That mute and torn so long has lain:
And yet I cannot wake the strain,
Nor will the Muse one note inspire!
Coldly it shakes in accenta dire,
As if my soul itself to wring,
And when its sound seems but to fling
A jest at its own low lament;
So in sad isolation pent,
My soul can neither feel nor sing.
There was a time-ah, 't is too true -
But that time long ago has past -
When upon me the Muse had cast
Indulgent smile and friendship's due;
But of that age now all too few
The thoughts that with me yet will stay;
As from the hours of festive play
There linger on mysterious notes,
And in our minds the memory floats
Of minstrelsy and music gay.
A plant I am, that scarcely grown,
Was torn from out its Eastern bed,
Where all around perfume is shed,
And life but as a dream is known;
The land that I can call my own,
By me forgotten ne'er to be,
Where trilling birds their song taught me,
And cascades with their ceaseless roar,
And all along the apreading shore
The murmurs of the sounding sea.
While yet in childhood's happy day,
I learned upon its sun to smile,
And in my breast there seems the while
Seething volcanic fires to play.
A bard I was, my wish alway
To call upon the fleeting wind,
With all the force of verse and mind:
"Go forth, and spread around its flame
From zone to zone with glad acclaim,
And earth to heaven together bind !"
But it I left, and now no more -
Like a tree that is broken and sere -
My natal gods bring the echo clear
Of songs that in past times they bore;
Wide seas I cross'd to foreign shore,
With hope of change and other fate;
My folly waa made clear too late,
For in the place of good I sought
The seas reveal'd unto me naught,
But made death's specter on me wait.
All these fond fancies that were mine,
AIl love, all feeling, all emprise,
Were left beneath the sunny skies,
Which o'er that flowery region shine;
So press no more that plea of thine,
For songs of love from out a heart
That coldly liea a thing apart;
Since now with tortur'd soul I haste
Unresting o'er the desert waste,
And lifeless gone is all the art.

In H. Saggs's book The Might that was Assyria, he says that anyone convicted of buggery, i.e. sodomy, was buggered himself and then beheaded. But what happened to the one who buggered him? Could that be how the civilisation came to an end?

i realise its a well executed work but i can't see why this would be singled out as the quintessential masterpiece, especially when comparing it to other paintings which were made during a similar time. What are it's qualities, other than being a bit dull

Okay, here we go...

For those of you that dont think colorguard is a sport, ill prove you wrong...

(First off colorguard is flagteam...spinning flags, rifles, and sabres while the band marches.)

A sport is an activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively.

Colorguard is an extremely active sport. We have 4 to 10 minute shows. Which means we are running for at least 9 of those minutes. We have to be strong in order to toss 5s on rifles, doubles on flag and 6's on sabre.

Colorguard competes!!!! We go to shows and compete other colorguards for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. We go to finals where we compete the finalists for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place again.

We are judged by a panel of judges. they score us depending on if we performed well, how many drops there were, the dificulty of our work, if we all did what we were suppposed to on time, and cant pass the penalty line or we r disqualified

The group involves taking a photo of yourself, where the last (most recent) photo in the group must appear in the background of your photo e.g. on your pc/mac/laptop.

I remember seeing this group once, but can't find it now....please help.

Thanks, Toby
