Whats a good Johto pokemon team in Soul Silver?

Im currently using
-Togetic
-Polliwag
-Onyx
-Bayleef
-Pidgeot
and, -Gyrados

Okay to start of with your team:
-Togetic (Good) its a normal-flying type
-Poliwag (Bad) its only a water type unless you get a poliwrath (water fighting)
-Onyx (Good) its a rock ground type, eventually you will need a metal coat if you are aiming for a steelix.
-Bayleef (Good) your grass type pokemon
-Pidgeot (Good) its a normal flying type
-Gyrados (Good) its a dragon water type, may be useful.

Now this is what I would change:
-Starting off you have two normal-flying type pokemon, I suggest the togetic, because its more powerful.
-You either stay with a poliwag or a gyrados, you dont need two water type pokemon. I would suggest you keep the gyrados. it can learn Ice fang, pretty useful against dragon type pokemon.
So now you have two empty spaces:
-Get a fire type, I can suggest you get a houndour, to turn into a houndoom. its a dark fire type. Pretty good for you.You should find it in the safari zone savannah this may take some time or go on route 7 in the night (note this will be hard to find because its rarety of 5%)
-get an electric type, its is a very powerful type. I suggest you get a mareep(electric) or get a magnemite(electric-steel), make them evolve.
Good luck

Hope this helps

i am getting married in September, My mom doesn't think I should use the colors turquoise and pink now?

Oh my gosh this wedding planning is hard when my family is scattered across the country anyway... I originally chose pink and turquoise because of the dress has the aurora boreallis beading and its a 50's themed wedding but now my mom thinks I should ignore the gown and just use various shades of pink, ivory and black and let my dress stand out, something borrowed something blue, She doesnt want my wedding to look like a 50's kitchen just because theme is retro, HELP, I am so clueless! sorry to bother you all again but I cannot make up my mind!

I think your Mom is only trying to help you stick to your origanal ideas that you wanted and not change your ideas because others think differently. She loves you very much and only wants your day to be everything you've dreamed about.

Turquoise - A Fan Favorite

Silver turquoise pendants from the Southwestern United States have been extremely popular in the world of jewelry today. Those who can afford to splurge spend to buy pieces with jewelry natural, gem-quality turquoise. Most of us though, settle for items with stabilized turquoise. Regardless of how much you can afford to or choose to spend, we all agree that turquoise jewelry is beautiful and key component of every jewelry collection. Our attraction and love for this blue gemstone is not new. Mankind has loved turquoise ever since it was discovered some time around 3,000 BC. The ancient Egyptians however, did not help spread ownership of this stone. The believed that turquoise was their connection with the gods and therefore only allowed kings, queens, other members of the royal family, and priests to buy and use turquoise. Fortunately, those curbs on the ownership are no longer in place and everyone who likes and can pay for it, can buy and own turquoise jewelry. Let's explore the reasons why turquoise has become a fan favorite of many over the past several centuries.

Man has always considered turquoise to be a beautiful stone. Although shades of blue are the most common colors for this stone, it is also sometimes found in greens and on rare occasion, even in yellow. The remnants of the parent bedrock where the stone was formed appear as the characteristic dark vein pattern on the surface of the stone. The color of the stone controlled by the elements that make up the stone. The copper content is responsible for the blue color. If iron is present as a secondary mineral, the stone appears in colors ranging from green to bluish green. On the rare occasion that zinc compounds were present during the formation of the stone, the stone becomes yellow. Turquoise is a versatile stone. The blue color is bright and yet is sober enough to be used in jewelry designs for men and women. Bolo ties, tie pins, and cuff links are popular types for men. The use and application in women's jewelry is much more prevalent. Designs for turquoise jewelry usually have sterling silver settings that frame the stones. In more traditional designs, turquoise is usually the only gemstone. More recent applications include matching turquoise with other materials. Common materials for this are red or pink coral and freshwater pearls. In both cases, it is important to match colors and relative presence so that one material does not overwhelm the other. For example, a white pearl necklace may have a series of five or seven graduated turquoise beads at the base of the necklace. The light blue color of the beads compliments the white to off-white color of the cultured pearls. Two classic jewelry materials combine to produce a more creative and innovative design.

I need ideas for my art project. Can you plz help?

I have to make a set of 3 bracelets using 4 items for each one . It cannot be all beads and has to have unique materials used. We can use stuff like leaves, stones, ribbon, shells etc. no food items like macaroni or beans or anything. Thank you.

how about small polished stones which can be truly beautiful. You can get these in any good craft shop and 'findings' which can be stuck on so you can link them together.
Or
embroider a slogan on a ribbon
Or
press leaves and laminate leaves - then cut to whatever shape or design you want
Or
use wood shavings wound around a wire
Or acorns
Or chyrstals or sparkly stars/shapes laminated and cut up.
hope that helps!

African Tribal Art – a Rich Heritage of Fascinating Diversity

Tribal art has been part of African culture for more than 6,000 year. There are hundreds of tribes in Africa and each one of them has their own unique style of art forms adding wide diversity to African tribal art. The best known of the forms of African tribal art are:

1. Sculpture

Most of the African sculptures are done in wood. Often in these wooden sculptures, artists depict the spirits of deceased people. Features like the symmetric facial expressions, strong, unmoving posture, and portrayal of humans in the prime of life, large heads, and prominent navels can be noticed in the wooden human sculptures.

2. Pottery

The beauty of the African artwork can also be noticed in the traditional utensils and various pottery items. Hand made vases, pots, plates and bowls made of clay were further painted by artists to make each of the items more appealing. Along with wood and clay, some terracotta pieces of genuine antiquity have also been found which tell us about the ingenuity of these ancient people.

3. Jewellery

Items like earrings, neck pieces, bracelets or other jewelry pieces of African tribal society are one of a kind and have a genuine ceremonial or daily usage background. Hand crafted jewelleries, made from elephant hair, giraffe hair, lion claw, ivory, bones of animals, are not only beautiful but also unique in their own way.

4. Masks

Now let's move on to masks. Who does not know about African masks? In most of the traditional dance forms, dancers wear masks. In fact ritual African costumes remain incomplete without masks. Face masks are used during processions, local festivals and other celebrations and even at funerals. There are even tribal masks of African animals such as elephants, zebras and antelopes.

5. Paintings

African painters use highly abstracted and regimented visual canons along with different shades of colors to represent the qualities and characteristics of any subject. Nature is the most common subject in African paintings.

In many of the African tribal art forms, artists try to capture the various forms of animals and plant life. However, the unifying theme is the fascination with the human figure. There are some famous painters of the Western world who were highly influenced by African paintings such as Gauguin, Modigliani, Van Gogh, Matisse, and Picasso.
