Why is dancing not on the list of sports on this site?? Dancing is a competitive sport, so it should be added :P

Anyway, does anyone here dance, and what kind of dancing do you do?

We all know it will, but many say there is absolutely zero conclusive proof. Any science-friendly people know if there is conclusive proof that somehow the world will stop turning, or the sun will burn out or something like that?

What "brand" of acrylic paints are best for mural painting?

And can they be store bought in large bottles instead of the small craft bottles?

Thank you very much for your help.

See the animal in his cage that you built
Are you sure what side you're on?
Better not look him too closely in the eye
Are you sure what side of the glass you are on?

See the safety of the life you have built
Everything where it belongs
Feel the hollowness inside of your heart
And it's all right where it belongs

What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems
What if all the world you think you know
Is an elaborate dream?

And if you look at your reflection
Is that all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks
Would you find yourself - find yourself afraid to see?

What if all the world's inside of your head
Just creations of your own?
Your devils and your gods all the living and the dead
And you're really all alone?

You can live in this illusion
You can choose to believe
You keep looking but you can't find the woods
While you're hiding in the trees

Ok this is for the creative artists out there. Please help me create a masterpiece with my kids. This is the plot, I have 4 boys, ages 1, 3, 8, & 10. I want their pictures to go in my living room wall which is a darkish reddish, and my couches are black. I was thinking of taking their pics individually and have them set in either black and white or sepia(or is it sephia?)and then put them in 8x10 black picture frames and set them up 2 on top of 2 in a square pattern. I was thinking of having them pose brady bunch style but then I thought of them holding out one hand so that from far it looks like they are holding out their hands to each other. I know someone can come up with something nicer. Please help!! I am all hyped up now on this project and want it to look kick ***!!!!!!!!!

...and if the clay in more than and inch and a half thick, we have to hollow it out.
Whenever I try to hollow it out, the walls of the thing cave in.
I seem to have tried everything ranging from exacto knives to pull wires, nothing just seems to work.

Does anyone have any tips or ideas on how to keep the walls up while I hollow it out?

Langston Hughes'
Mother to Son

In this poem, Hughes writes about a mother speaking to her son about life's experiences. He uses the metaphor of a crystal stair.
_______________________________________________
_______

Well, son, I'll tell you:
Life for me ain't been no crystal stair.
It's had tacks in it,
And splinters,
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor --
Bare.
But all the time
I'se been a-climbin' on,
And reachin' landin's,
And turnin' corners,
And sometimes goin' in the dark
Where there ain't been no light.
So boy, don't you turn back.
Don't you set down on the steps
'Cause you finds it's kinder hard.
Don't you fall now --
For I'se still goin', honey,
I'se still climbin',
And life for me ain't been no crystal stair.

Which one of these would you choose?
1) Red
2) Yellow
3) Green
4) Blue

It doesn't have to be these four colors but if it or isn't still explain why it is. Mybe because of an old memory or mybe how it makes you feel. How does this color relate to your personality?
