Get it bleached by a professional.
Reply:i read that you could bleach it a little first then dye it medium blonde.
Reply:often drugstore color is not strong enough to lighten brown hair to a neutral blond, especially if you have previously colored your hair. also the tone of blond you are choosing makes a big difference. you would want to choose a cool shade like ash because it will help to neutralize the warm tones in your hair.
Reply:By using color that has a blue or blue/green tone in it this will reduce that problem and go just two to three shades lighter then your brown hair is .
Reply:go get it done.

Any suggestions on a good medium size dogs? Must be good with other small dogs?

I am really after suggestions for medium to large sized dogs, I have a small dog at the moment and I want to get him a friend. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Any suggestions on a good medium size dogs? Must be good with other small dogs?
you should have a look at all small puppies available for adoption. Then watch how they play together. The one who tries to rip the other puppies face off will not be a good "other" dog in your family. Those ones need to be the only dog in household. I look for the ones who are cuddly, give kisses, not trying to bite as much as that other one lol. This is usually a good indication of what they will be like as an adult. Not really sure what type of small breed dogs you have so its hard to pin anything down for you. Not sure but I think that Jack Russels are very energetic, playful, active dogs, not a good choice for lay back dog breeds or sr dogs. A playful puppy is good, but how playful will tell you if your dogs will be able to handle it. Just a suggestion to give you some ideas. Have you thought of checking at the SPCA or dog rescues in your area ? You'ld be saving their life at SPCA + these ones are special to you because you saved its life.

Where can i get a medium size tattoo that can be seen year round?

Most people have tattoos where people can only see them in the spring or summer time since its the season for less clothing. I want to get a medium size butterfly that can be seen year round. Any ideas. Thank you in advance.

Where can i get a medium size tattoo that can be seen year round?
I would say the back of ur neck or ur wrist. Both can be seen in all seasons if you want, but also, if you do decide to cover it up for some occasion or something like that, both areas are easy to cover also. Either with a braclet or something (or sleeves) or by wearing ur hair down (or scarf). I think that would be ur best bet.
Reply:ON YOUR ANKLE OR LEG OR ON THE TOP OF YOUR FOOT
Reply:Your ankle or your wrist?!
Reply:On your wrist.
Reply:your face, unless you frequently wear ski masks.
Reply:Wrist, neck, toe or ankle. Make it a small, delicate butterfly. It looks much cuter.
Reply:face. lol kidding. you could probably put a small one on the back of your neck.





Before you get a tattoo think ahead. I have to find a place to hide my tattoo because im going to be a teacher. I havent gotten it yet because i cant find a good place for it.
Reply:I have a flower on my left hand, a butterfly on my wrist and a tribal symbol on right lower forearm--seen all year.
Reply:forearm is pretty much your only choice....unless you're going neck.
Reply:well i would say on ur arm or on ur wrist. it would look really cool if u were to get one on ur hand. or on the neck.
Reply:I would say your finger, any finger even your thumb. you could get a butterfly wrapping round your thumb toward your wrist even extending upwards to where you feel it should end.....
Reply:Get it on your chest ..that way you can still cover it if you want..!!
Reply:On your wrist is a good place or maybe back of your neck, but that can be covered if you want it to but yea, hope it helps..
Reply:You can try:





Inner wrist


Lower arm


Side of neck





That's about it for all year long, I hate to say. :o(
Reply:I would have to say arm.
Reply:neck
Reply:Your Neck, During the winter your WHOLE body is covered up even your arms so your neck is the only place
Reply:face lol jk wrist
Reply:DON'T DO IT!!! SERIOUSLY,,, THINK ABOUT HOW IT WILL LOOK WHEN YOU'RE OLDER!!!!! SERIOUSLY!!!!! YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!! :0
Reply:Face.





No, I'm kidding. I don't think that's what you had in mind. Arm is probably the best place. It can be visible all year but it's also easy to hide. Other choices could be: Neck, ankle/foot depending on what type of shoes you wear, hands.


How can I mix paint medium with fabric paint?

My mom works at a day-care and wants to put childrens' footprints onto pieces of carpet fabric as a christmas gift. What is a safe percentage of medium to fabric paint that will be safe for the kids' feet but be permanent on the fabric?

How can I mix paint medium with fabric paint?
Ask at your craft store, there should be some medium that is non toxic and fabric paints that are non toxic. The best and safest way to go.
Reply:First, if you buy "fabric paint" it will already have the acrylic "textile medium" in it.


If you buy plain acrylic paint though, you can add "textile medium" to it yourself (so that the paint will be more flexible and not crack in the wash if it's thick) ...otherwise you don't need the textile medium mixed into the acrylic paint to print permanently on fabric.


(You can buy craft acrylic paint and textile medium at a crafts store.)





Acrylic paint, and acrylic mediums like textile medium, are "safe" so any amount should be okay from that angle. And they're both permanent once they're dry. (Be sure to wash off little feet with water or soap and water before it dries!)





I don't know how much textile medium you'd want to add to craft-type acrylic paint to get the amount of softness and flexibility *you* want, or how thick you plan on having the paint from the footprints (or what exactly "carpet fabric" is), but I'd guess there would be some suggestions for ratios on bottles of textile medium for printing on most fabrics... or try some of these sites for ideas:

What would be a good medium-format camera to start with?

I have always loved photography and now I would like to start using a medium format camera, but I am not sure as to where to start. Can someone give me ideas about cameras and their costs. Thank you.

What would be a good medium-format camera to start with?
MAMIYA RB67, I DO WORK WITH IT, IT IS A WONDER.
Reply:To get a medium format camera, you don't go to Ritz. They don't carry any - they have given way to digital, carrying only a minumum number of film cameras and no medium format.





To start, I would either go with a Pentax 645 or 67 or to Mamiay 645, RB67, or RG67. There are others, Fuji makes a few.





To ensure that you get one that works, I don't recommend ebay. I would call www.keh.com and talk to Arthur if you can get him on the line. You will need a few lenses. For the 645, a standard lens of 80mm y ou will need and then you will need a wide angle, which might be between 50mm and 60mm, then for a portrait lens, you can get a 180mm. For 6x7, you will need a 90 for a standard lens, a 50 for a wide angle, and a 180 for portraits.





I like the Mamiyas 67s. They have a back that turns, so therefore you don't need to turn your camera vertically for a picture. film backs come in 120 and 220 film sizes, the 120 has ten shots, the 220 has 20. Then Pentax cameras are more designed like the normal 35mm, only larger, and I think bulkier. I don't know about the new RGs, but the older ones are heavy so if you go trapsing off to take scenic shots in the mountain, you will need both a tripod and a backpack to carry your gear. Mamiya makes other medium format, as a matter of fact, no 35mms, that are very versatile, so you have to shop around for what you want - what you can carry, and the ease of operation. The RBs have no electronics in them, no light meter, so you have to get a handheld light meter and set your own shutter speed, f stops and ++//cock/++ manually - two actually - you have to do the back and the camera. These are not point and shoots.





There are an abundance of 6x6, or square format cameras that are excellent also. The Mamiya 330s are fantastic, but a little old and very manual also.





Other manufacturers like Bronica, Hasselblad, and still others have the cameras that fit into your desired category, so I suggest that you get what you can for the money - they can all get expensive.
Reply:Go to Ritz Camera
Reply:Heya,


All the advice they gave you was great but here is another option for you.


I don't know what intentions you have for a final outcome so that would help, like is it just for artistic use, weddings, commercial or whatever. If it is purely artsy may I suggest this as a fun, very cheap way of entering the medium format world, having those nice big negs that will create great results. There is a camera, (once called the Diana) but now the Holga. They can be found online just about everywhere including Ebay and some local camera shops carry them. For all of 20 bucks you get this cool little 120 camera. Yes, it's all plastic, including the lens, it comes with a strap and now even a hotshoe for a strobe. I have about 10 of them and everyone of them creates different images but when some pracgtice at exposure you may be surprised to see your results. (PLEASE, don't buy one and go shoot a wedding with it unless that gritty artsy style is the desired effect). Anyways, some of mine were so sharp that I took some sandpaper and scratched the lenses up a bit to get what I was looking for. Practice with it, shoot some film through it and get to know it and you may like it. Look for it on yahoo search and you will find many sites dedicated to Holga lovers and some of the incredible work they have made.
Reply:If you can find one, a yashika mat 124G is an inexpensive way to break into the medium formats. The size is 6X6. Whatever you go to, remember that it is going to be used (new is way too expensive) so be careful.





The mamiya line up are all very good, and middle priced.


Is the best way to eat a steak medium to rare?

I always get my steaks medium to well-done. I hear that's a cardinal sin, and that they should always be medium to rare? Insight please?

Is the best way to eat a steak medium to rare?
I always get my steak medium rare. To me a well done steak is to dry.:)
Reply:I worked as a broiler cook at a steak house and med rare to medium are the most popular ways people eat steaks. I guess you get the most flavor, but I'm not sure I eat mine mid well. Hope this helped
Reply:Depends on the cut. Well done definitely takes away any tenderness of the steak. You can also order chicago style with a charred surface but rare center.
Reply:Not everyone can eat a rare or medium rare steak. And yes, a lot of people say that's the best way to eat them for them to have the best flavor. I believe it's to each person's own taste.


I use to eat my steaks med. rare. Now I have them medium and I actually like them much better. I will say that I don't understand why people ask for their steaks to be cooked well or extra well. I know I said it's "to their taste" but do those steaks have any taste left?
