You speak with an expert is better… good luck!

What Kind of Paint I should buy for skin application?

I am interested in photographing a model with paint poured on their body. What brand or type of paint can easily be washed or cleansed afterwards?
This link is an example of what I am trying to achieve: http://www.whitezine.com/en/photography/mark-zibert.html/attachment/mark-zibert-black

Acrylic paint will wash off yet sometimes it clumps around hair and pulls. I would recommend finding a basic face paint that the use for children at fairs. Make sure first that your model isn’t allergic to anything in the paint that you choose. Maybe test it the night before just in case.

Are their any cosmetic surgeries that treat acne, not just acne scars? I think there is one that is laser.?

the lasar treatment is for acne i’ve had it it stings a little but they pay you for it. i forget where sorry but you could probably google it.

Story Idea…Need tips and stuff. OPEN TO CRITICISM!!! PLEASE?

lay there, cold and still. Drops of sweat frozen to my skin. I kept my eyes closed, but ears always listening. I was listening to the voices around me. Two Men, one woman. They were discussing the body of a young girl they’d found.
"It’s a shame. She was a beauty." a rough deep voice said. His age fell from every word he spoke.
"Yea, she was just so young." Another, softer, male voice rolled in. I sounded like he was trying to be stronger than he trully was.
"Who could, who would…" The female voice trailed off. Every word she spoke seem to be laden with the burdan of her own life.
As for me, I felt no sorrow for her, no pitty. She was beautiful. Long blond hair that formed soft ringlets around her face. Bright green eyes, and skin that seemed to glow. She looked more alive than dead. But she was stupid. She chose to live her life the way she had. Always fighting for something. Never running. Constantly doing the "right thing". If she would just accept the world wouldn’t change, she wouldn’t be there. I felt more hatred and shame for her than anything. No, I didn’t feel anything. Just pure nothingness for her lifeless body. And I knew, as I listened, that she felt the same way. For I knew her well. Her name was Rush. And she, was me.

As I heard the voices fade mornfully away down the hall, no doubt to get the doctor that would preform my autopsy, I almost laughed. The thought of the look on there faces when the saw there newest arival to the land of the dead had just walked out was pretty funny, even in my condition. I slowly sat up and stretched my broken body. Rigamortis was everything it turned out to be. Funny. Every ache and pain felt like it was a part of me I could never get rid of. A constant. I knew that I should have been dead, and by medical reasons, I was close enough. Then again, when have I ever done what I was was to be expected. Let me answer that for you. Never.

If you’d like to read more, I need critissim on the next par to. Just say so. it explains some of it. I’m open to any critism. I’m sure you’ll have lots. I’m only 15 some try not to be volger. Thanks for reading. I KNOW MY SPELLING IS AWFUL. I don’t have spell checker on this computer, but I promise I’m trying. I’m a horrible speller.

I like it so far. Good start.

At what age and how did u wean baby off pacifier?

My baby is 10 mnths old. Uses his pacifier ONLY for sleeping. At what age did u wean ur baby off and at what age? Thx in advance!

My daughter was 2 when we weaned her. At 10 months the baby only knows that a comfort has been taken away, if the child is older you can reason with them (to a certain extent). We told my daughter that her pacifier had been given to the baby bunny rabbits and sent her a letter from Mummy Bunny Rabbit saying thank you the baby bunnies loved it. My daughter never asked for it again.

Can someone give me advice for an for anti-aging lifestyle, including supplements & best foods?

Tink, I like the grateful heart part. I need to work on that, as I am too close to my worries right now.

5-9 servings or more of fruits and vegetables, 6-11 servings a day of whole grains (bear in mind, those serving numbers are based on a child serving size – so a serving of fruit is 4 ounces of fruit juice for example) 30-60 minutes a day of physical activity, don’t smoke, drink in moderation if at all, wear sunscreen, floss your teeth after brushing twice daily, have a physical done at regular intervals according to age related guidelines, wash your hands frequently during cold and flu season, have a set sleep schedule, reduce stress, don’t take yourself too seriously, enjoy life and keep a grateful heart.

Are babies allowed to sleep on their front?

My baby is 7 months old and I always put her to sleep on her back. But she prefers to sleep on her front. Sometimes she turns all the way round, so her head is where her feet would normally go. If I turn her over she wakes up crying and then it takes forever to settle her down again. My health visitor said it’s ok for her to sleep that way.

Is it safe for babies of this age to sleep to their front? Or should I keep turning her onto her back?

Provided you put your baby down on her back, it’s safe for her to sleep any way up she wants.

Once your baby can roll over, the risk of SIDS is a) massively reduced, and b) exactly the same whichever way up she sleeps.

Where can I find an ottb…?

Where could I find OTTBs for sale?

I’m looking for a young one, preferably around 4-5 years old.

I’m not looking for an answer like "Go on equine.com" or "Google it"
I’ve done both of those and I have only come up with a few results.

If you have any tips on where to look outside the internet, they would be greatly appreciated

I have heard of CANTER and visited their site and I found 1 horse that met my "standards".
What i mean by that is they have to be around the age of 4 and they can’t have any serious injuries that would prevent them from jumping.

Please don’t give me a lecture on why not to get an ottb. Don’t say I don’t have experience, which i do.
Just, please, answer my question

Racetracks are a good place to look. Talk to local trainers, many of them get OTTBs in by the truckload (literally, I’m not kidding) and will either be able to show you one they recently got in, or be able to point you in the direction of where to find them. Auctions, especially those within fifty miles of a racetrack, tend to be loaded with OTTBs these days. Dealers tend to get a lot of them in as well.

You can also scour rescue organizations and there are a couple other organizations like CANTER that are devoted to exracehorses as well. Unfortunately in my experience with these organizations I have noticed that they tend to have the OTTBs who sustained serious injuries and are simply in need of a pasture to decorate for the rest of their natural lives.

Anyone want to offer some feedback for this excerpt?

Re-post of an another question, though for a different reason.

This just an excerpt of part of a short story series I plan to write. In this particular one the main character is a Tasmanian Tiger/Thylacine who lives with humans. Anyway, here’s an excerpt:

What started out as a typical afternoon on the outskirts of Hobart, Tasmania turned into one misadventure. As usual, Jones was out watching his owner’s sheep. The Tasmanian Tiger had been trained to herd livestock at the age of six months. Now a young adult, watching and herding sheep became his day job. Jones scratched left ear and nipped the tip of his tail. It was the middle of summer and the mosquito’s were getting on his nerves. He yawned and stretched after a moment, feeling bored. The young tiger’s ears perked up at the sound of footsteps. He quickly got up to investigate and spotted a stray cattle dog approaching a ewe. The dog was about to grab the sheep when she heard a growl. Inches away from her was Jones. Ears laying flat against his head and pearly white teeth fully exposed. The cattle dog started to back away, at that moment Jones snarled.
Within seconds the female dog bolted and Jones followed her.

Hoping over the fence and running into the bush, the cattle dog ran as fast as she could with Jones not far behind. After a fifteen minute chase, he cornered her, or so he thought. Jones stopped and looked up, noticing the cattle dog smiling at him. Two men stepped out of some shrubs. Both of them holding a trio of coonhounds by their leashes. One hound was blue ticked, the second, black and tan and the third was red. It didn’t take long for Jones to realize the cattle dog had set him up!
"G’day old friend, you thought you got away didn’t ya?" said one of the men.
"Now we got you right where we want you." the second one added.
Jones stood there with his tail tucked between his legs.
Seconds later he took off running.
"Get ‘em!" a male blue tick coonhound barked.
Now that their leashes had been removed, all three hounds along with the cattle dog went after Jones.

The young Tasmanian Tiger ran as fast his legs could go. He could hear the coonhounds behind him, barking loudly. Jones panted heavily, he was ready to call it quits. He stopped when he came to a dead end. Looking back in the direction he came, he could hear the dogs barking. Having no choice, he crouched down and jumped onto a large red rock. He then went over to the other side and headed home.

The four dogs stopped in their tracks and looked around.
"We lost him!" said a male black and tan coonhound.
"Great," the female cattle dog sighed.
"Come’on, y’all." said the blue tick coonhound, the four dogs then headed back to their owners; once again, they were empty handed.

Now that he had managed to escape, Jones made his way back home. In an effort to avoid being seen out in the open, Jones took a short cut through some thick shrubs. Climbing down the side of a rock, he stopped short and yelped when felt something clamp down on his foot. Looking down, Jones noticed his left front paw was caught in a foothold trap. The traps were normally used for American wildlife such as bears but it could also be used to trap other animals. Jones tried to pull his paw out but wasn’t having any success. The trap’s metal teeth dug into his fur and skin; the whole thing was painful. "Help! I’m stuck!" he yelled, hoping someone would hear him.

After waiting for an hour, Jones sat down and panted heavily. His leg now had dry blood on it due to his attempts to escape. A few seconds later, Jones collapsed; heat and exhaustion got the better of him. He looked to the left when he heard some rustling. Standing a few feet away on a medium size rock was a German Shepherd-like dog. Jones then noticed the dog was looking right at him. Unable to defend himself, he watched as the dog climbed down from the rock and approach him.
"Who ‘dat?" he asked in a weak voice.
Shortly after, Jones blacked out…

End of excerpt.

There’s more to the story but I decided to end this part using a cliffhanger.

Anyone want to offer some feedback for this excerpt?

Good

What supplements are best to take for better results when doing P90X?

I am just about to start the P90X program. I have heard amazing things about it and have seen the results. I would really like to boost my energy and average out my appetite while doing this for quicker, better results. I am already on a semi strict diet consisting of many fruits, veggies, nuts, etc. GNC is where I am looking to purchase any supplements that can be recommended.

Thanks!

As long as your diet is in check, I would just go with a good multi vitamin.
