a - both sides were weary of this war that was bloodier than the American Civil War.
b - the Germans were already on the run and the US came just in time to help with the rout.
c - it had ground to a stalemate with no side threatening the other with defeat.
d - the Allies were defeating the Germans in the Netherlands, but the French line had broken near the Swiss border.

I like to use extensive shading to create three dimensional affects when painting. Using acrylics is new to me! Do I start with the lighter colour and work the various shading colours in layers over the top? Will that work, or is the whole thing going to smudge? Also, when the work is completed, can I varnish the canvas, to give it a glossy and cleanable finish?

FYI:

Gothic Novels are fictional, dark, horrific, mysterious, supernatural, dreadful, 18th century novels (such as "The Castle of Otranto"). They usually take place in castles, mansions, abbeys, etc. with characters such as ghosts, demons, death, mystery, magician, vampires, etc. I know it sounds similar to horror, but it came before those type of books came out.

My mother was born in the 1940s and enjoyed a series from the library but cannot remember what it was called. She says it was about a family of cave-people with names that were something like "Oog" and "Og." That sort of thing.
Does anyone know the name of the series? She said there were possibly at least three or more of these books.

The last thing that I know about where he was he wrote me before he died in Ohio. He also said that he received a check from our government in Austin Texas. He also had a set of twins that he gave up for adoption and never talked to again that I know of.

For example, he reincarnated in the opposite Astrological sign, different sex, race, etc. to learn lessons, but is carrying over a lot of characteristics of his last lifetime.

And not the Bible, Koran, or Torah This goes a lot deeper.

I used Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 on a mac for some time. I then got the newer pc version.

So, heres my problem. I used to make eyes more vibrant and lips redder, that sort of thing, using a shortcut style feature at the top. You clicked on the icon, and up came a window. In it were multiple boxes of whatever you had selected, most of the time an eyeball, each with different hues. So, there would be a bluer eye, a yellower eye, a greener eye, et cetera. You clicked on it to apply it.

The feature has either been removed or isn't displayed automatically in the pc version... and doing it the long way is very irritating; i'm editing a photo with ten people and thats twenty eyes. I really don't want to have to do it the long way. So, does anyone know a)what that feature was called b) where it is in the pc version or c)if it has been taken away?


Thankyou so much!

Slowly enjoyed like a fine cigar, and carefully crafted like a work of art? Or like a candle burnt at both ends? Setting goals and meeting them as fast as possible? Must we constantly struggle against laziness, inertia and entropy? Or can these be positive things? Please explain.

These are mine:

-Climate destruction, resulting in arable land disapearing, soil destruction, pollution of water, geological changes, floods, etc... and affecting our ability to live.

-Human degeneration. This does not only mean in attitude, but genetically as well. Body deformation (very slim, pathetic people) with quirky characteristics coming into light, same with the opposite-fat people.

-Nuclear holocaust. Terrorist nuking city, then taking others hostage to prevent US retaliation, or say, Russia nukes us by accident as it almost did when in 1995 it thought a test rocket near its borders was a ICBM breaking up and releasing thermonuclear bombs...accidentaly dropping by China, terrorist nuclear warfare, or crazy antics by say Kim Jong Ill..

which are yours?
