Hey all, this is my first ever try at a moc of any kind. Ive been wanting to build something for a while now and i thought this contest would be a good place to start, plus there doesn'tg seem to be many women builders about. Any tips and advice will be welcome http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/105817
Posted 22 March 2009 - 10:57 AM
But a very nice MOC, thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest!

I like the use of cristal ball as jar and how you did the ground.
I just suggest to you (if you can) to tile all the black studs around and above your MOC.
Otherwise, I like it!
Posted 22 March 2009 - 12:43 PM
What I like:
The ammount of details, there are so many!
The skeletons, nice idea.
The cabin itself looks great.
What could be improved:
The parrot on the wheel on the large barrel. It would be better to make a seperate parrot stand.
Overall, a very nice entry!

One thing you have a plentiful amount of is fun interior design elements, like the angled table, keg, and the crystal balls. You did a great job with the SNOT floor as well.
Some improvement ideas:
1) I would definitely recommend deeplinking 2 more images to the post, so viewers don't have to click on a link to see them.
2) Writing a little back story for your entry would give more insight about your entry, like why are the minifigs skeletons for example.
3) The black brick wall might look better in brown if you have enough.
4) Your lantern on the left looks great, but I'm not a big fan of the red hand sticking out. I know it's meant to be a flame but I think leaving it bare might look better.
5) A minor point, putting some tiles on the front where there are studs showing would match the sleekness of the rest of your entry.
I think you did a superb job for a first MOC. You've incorporated lots of detail which is sometimes hard even for experienced builders.
Good work, and all the best for the contest!

what I would suggest is to post a picture where we can see the entire moc, uncut, with some white background all around ( or digital or anything, but the moc mustn't be bigger than the picture I think ) , I think it adds a lot to the pictures! but that's just IMO ^^
I also thinks that for a small moc like this, 3 walls is too much, only 2 walls and take the pictures from a different angle of view should make it looks less "crushed" on itself, if you see what I mean ( sorry my English vocabulary is limited^^ )
anyway that's a great start and I really enjoyed it!

Possible improvement points:
1. The table could be a plate, or maybe 2, lower.
Good points:
1. Good "cluttered" look, lots of details.
2. The floor looks good, a much better use for those bricks than how they where use in the new BB ship.

Sept. 26, 2010
SAN DIEGO, Calif. - San Diego posted a 3-0 shutout against the Huskies of Houston Baptist Sunday afternoon at Torero Stadium. Sergio Lopez, Charles Blase, and Patrick Wallen all scored in the first half for USD.
"We had a lot of people that needed to step up today because of injury to some of our starters," said head coach Seamus McFadden. "However it was an ugly win for us today."
San Diego improves to 3-3-1 overall on the season with the win over the Huskies. It is their second win in a row as they head into conference play coming up this weekend.
Sergio Lopez scored his first collegiate goal for USD in the 11th minute of the match. San Diego was battling early in the first half to punch in a shot and take a quick lead. Charles Blase had a good look at the net which was deflected by Huskie goalkeeper Chris Dodd and gathered up by Lopez who had a quick one touch and fired off a shot from four yards out to take a 1-0 lead.
Blase had his scoring opportunity in the 34th minute and jumped on it. Patrick Wallen sprinted with the ball across centerfield when he saw Blase ahead of him. Wallen sent the ball up before he was called for offsides giving Blase a chance to shoot from 20 yards out past diving Houston Baptist keeper for the 2-0 lead.
In the 43rd minute, Wallen took his turn to score for USD. San Diego again had a chance to score with numerous players in the box when Conor McFadden took a shot which was blocked sending the ball into the air towards Wallen who headed the rebound into the bottom right corner for the 3-0 lead.
USD outshot the Huskies 11-2 and had the corner kick advantage 5-1. Both teams were even at 13 fouls each. USD had four shots on goal connecting on three of them.
San Diego opens up conference this coming weekend on the road against the Gael's of Saint Mary's on Friday, October 1 at 2:00 p.m. followed by their match with the San Francisco Don's at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, October 3.

Self-reliance and sustainability in the 21st century.
By Heidi Hunt
The cold, damp days of January frequently remind us of the comfort of wood-fired stoves and fireplaces. The world just seems to be a more secure place while snuggled close to the heat of a wood burner.
If you do not currently have a fireplace or wood stove, you can warm your house with the sun by constructing and installing a window heat grabber. This handy device, hung outside of a south-facing window, collects heat from the sun, which is then distributed to the room. It's a great, low-tech way to use the power of the sun for heating.
For more adventurous rural-living folks who have plenty of firewood at their disposal, you might want to consider constructing an outdoor wood burning boiler. This freestanding building holds the wood-fired heat and pushes it into your house through underground piping. If you like the heat from wood, but want to avoid the mess of a woodstove in your house, this project is for you.
So, take a hint from your pets and curl up in front of the fire or find a sunny window to warm you during these blustery winter days.

I received it today,sprayed only a spritz 3 hours ago! I am still sniffing my wrist! Vanilla, with some indistinguishable floral notes, spiced up with pachtouli, good staying power with moderate projection.
Now the bottle, the name, the brand!argh! super Tacky!
i was able to buy this off of Ebay....three one ounce bottles for 15.99. I also have Play it lovely. I like Play it rock soo much more...at first when you first spray it...its kind of muddled and its hard to tell what the notes are...but after like 15 minutes it settles down and it smells almost like marshmallows and floral. Reminds me of Katy perry Meow...Very feminine.and sexy..just like a play boy bunny
You can buy a 6 pack of this stuff, 6 1 oz for 24.99 on ebay. thats a really good deal. Im buying it as soon as i get my hands on some money.
Naughty But Nice
This is such a sexy perfume and I can totally smell it on a Playboy Bunny even though I'm sure Playboy models don't wear this stuff. It's quite cheap and you can buy it drugstores, Amazon.com and Fragrance X for under 20 bucks. But the scent is really something. It starts off very sweet and fruity. It has apples and the fruity exotic tropical scents of saffron, frangipani and passion flower. You also get plenty of sweet vanilla. But before long the fragrance is smoky and leathery. It's a kind of sexy leather mini skirt. It has patchouli which is what is giving it the sex appeal. This is a warm fragrance too. No. It's a HOT fragrance. I love this stuff and because the bottle is small it's easy to put it into my handbag and spritz it on throughout the evening. I see this more of a night perfume to wear when you wanna go out on dates or dancing in nightclubs, with the objective to pick up guys. Sexy. Not cheap smelling at all despite the cheap price. I wish that Playboy fragrances were more beloved. They're not bad but this is my all time favorite of the Playboys and can't wear their other stuff. This is just perfect for me. Sweet, sexy naughty but nice.
I got this as a gift. I like it quite a lot, in fact my bottle is nearly empty. I've smelled a couple Playboy perfumes and this is my favourite. Many other playboy perfumes and colognes smell very synthetic? Fake? Headache inducing? to me. This doesn't. On me it's just a little bit spicy, very leathery and vanilla-y.
It doesn't last super long, but what do you expect for the price? To me it doesn't smell cheap -- definitely not expensive. But not cheap. I like the smell a lot.
I had this for well over a year before I fell in love with it. I put it on three nights ago preparing to go out and see what kind of trouble I can get into on a Thursday night in Las Vegas. I sniffed my wrist about a block away from home and what came to mind was Joan Jett in 1983, singing "Crimson and Clover" whilst clad in faux red leather. Nevermind that she wasn't actually wearing that.. it's what came to mind and henceforth always will whenever I smell this.
Funny, that's what I dreamed of last night..
BTW.. I know many are of the opinion that a review should say what the perfume smells like. In this case I think that would be redundant as the notes are listed above, and I didn't smell anything else. No soap, no sunscreen, no bug spray, no cat piss.. etcetera. This review is about what it felt like, as in the state of mind it took me to. It's a beautiful place.
This is really nice! I got the body spray at a discount store and I had no idea playboy even made fragrances! I bought it for the packaging honestly.. but after i sprayed it i kept getting so many compliments and people begging to know what it was i was wearing. I just ordered the large size perfume. The body sprays are in cuter packaging than the perfume but all that really matters is the scent. These are well done This one is my favorite so far, its a sophistcated sweet, not a little girl sweet. Its def worth a try!
I just tried this perfume... $10 shipped on ebay for the 2.5 ounce new. It's very sweet and fruity but for me-- it quickly became a fruity patchouli bomb and lasted quite long. I'm not a fan of patchouli and it often ruins scents for me. :( I like it in Katy Perry's Killer Queen, but that is about it. (Fans of this Play it Rock would like Killer Queen I think.) I will still get some use out of it, maybe try in the winter? For $10 you really can't go wrong.
Edit-- a few months later. I just can't wear this. I love the sweet fruity opening, but it quickly dries down to a spicy patchouli-- and lasts a long time like that. Made me feel like vomiting and gave me a headache. :( Darn. I ordered cheap bottles of Sexy and Lovely, I hope they don't do the same.
Playboy's Play It Rock can be purchased inexpensively online or in discount stores. I bought mine for $9.00 recently and for the amount spent, I didn't waste my money. This is a happy purchase.
My first impression on initial spraying was that Play It Rock was a very citrusy, fruity blend that would be perfect for a daytime scent in the warm weather. It seemed that this would be a very uplifting, wake-me-up fragrance ideal for hot, humid days that I don't particularly enjoy when I'm extremely slow to move.
The passion-flower exudes sweetness, the rich juiciness of the blood orange, the crispness of the candy apple-these three components combined burst together in the opening to literally provide you with an in-your-face wake up call. So I was prepared to dismiss this as just a fruity-citrus concoction, when suddenly I smelled what I at first thought was a cherry pipe tobacco, but soon turned into more of a leathery wood. What? For under ten bucks? Leather, wood, citrus and fruit?
Play It Rock soon settled into a cool, inviting darker woods mellowed by a delicious dark vanilla that lasted for hours. The patchouli is slightly noticeable. The florals for me are not strong enough to be counted.
This perfume is strong enough to be noticed by others around you. This Playboy scent is playful. It's a chameleon. It changes its' definition. It's unique in that aspect. So ultimately, you're getting more for your money. The bottle is topped with red bunny ears and the red bow tie for the The Playboy Club, which it represents. It an old tradition, like it or not. It's what's in the bottle that counts. And The Playboy Club delivered on this one.
At the Playboy Fragrances site you can find more information, plus dating tips.
This smells almost exactly like play it pin up, only fresher and slightly less sweet.. It's nice but not very "rock" to me
this one smells REALLY good. don't know if I would have the courage to reveal the name of this perfume if someone asked haha, but it's actually one of my favourites, at least at the moment. :)
I bought a few Playboy fragrances thanks to the Fragrantica reviews. Play It Rock is so delicious and sweet. I get a strong hint of passionfruit in the opening and then the vanilla comes through. I layered it with BBW vanilla triple-moisturising body cream to really amp up the vanilla. I love wearing cheapie perfumes for myself, and love finding new bargains. I'm so glad quite a few say it is like Lancome Hypnose Legere, as if someone asks I can vaguely say 'oh I think it's a Lancome one, in a tall purple bottle' rather than give away my guilty secret. Call me shallow!
Wow I absolutely love this stuff, it smells very similar to Lancome Hyynose which is my signature. If you are into vanilla at all then you have to try this. Amazing scent, & it can be picked up super cheap.
I have to say, I really don't like this perfume. I've tried it many times, but it just doesn't sit right on my skin and makes me really self conscious after a while.
I'm pretty sure this is the one I sampled recently, except no one has mentioned Tresor, which is what I smelled.
I was really surprised by this scent! I saw the 1 oz spray and 8 oz body splash for $8.00! I find it to be sweet at first. Then it settles a bit and turns spicy. The drydown for me is very powdery. I still really love it out of all the other ones I smelled. Very different!
It's very interesting scent - starts like Hypnose and ends like Hypnotic Poison. I'm very pleased as I like both the originals.
As other Playboy fragrances, Play it Rock is a good surprise. It´s a lovely oriental perfume, very fruity, it smells like a sweety fruit cocktail.
The price is very low and the lasting power is excellent.
I must write a second review for this bunny. well, i finally bought it and i must say i'm thrilled with it. It stays whole day, smells so gentle and romantic.Not overwhelming,not syntethic, but, sure, there and excellent. My bunch of exensive freagrences is on hold at the moment, while i'm enjoying a love romance with this one.
Good gosh Almighty! I am shocked by how much I really like this scent. This bottle and another Playboy scent were part of a lot of fragrances I bought on EBay and I was just about to throw them away when I decided I should give myself a little spritz before I do, "just in case". Wow! I am happpy I did! It is that little bit of sweet and spicy that I am always looking for in the Victorias Secret fragrances with the cool names, but never get. It manages to be sweet and sexy, just like the Playboy brand.
I was one of the few lucky people who actually got to go to the Playboy Club in it's heyday in the mid 70s. I was a dancer and my troupe performed there when I was about 7 years old. I still remember the drop-dead gorgeous bunnies in the satin bunny suits and the mirrored walls and dance floor. I felt like a "woman" when my Dad let me order a Shirley Temple!! It was everything you would imagine a high class club would be. It was the first time I had ever seen a night club, and it's what I've compared every other nightclub in my life to. I remember telling my Dad that I wanted to work there when I was old enough because I really thought the bunny outfits were gorgeous and I wanted to be as beautiful as the bunnies when I grew up!! Haha what a funny memory, but it's the first thing I thought of when I saw the cheap horrible bottles.
Usually, the Playboy brand means "quality" to me. I could not imagine what marketing idiot decided to make it a cheap drugstore scent with a tacky plastic cap! Not to mention that there is NO WAY I am going to put this bottle anywhere near my vanity right next to my classic fragrance bottles!!! Can you imagine??? Guerlain, Chanel, Amouage, and ahem Playboy in the plastic red tacky cap???? Also, there is NO WAY that I will ever tell people that I am wearing "Playboy" when they ask. It seems like I am telling people I'm a slut who likes to pose naked for strangers, when really, I just like the perfume.
I *might* have liked it better if the bottle was more substantial looking and there was a simple cap with simple classy "Playboy" lettering, but the big stupid ears and plastic cap just ruin it for me. I'm glad the perfume smells amazing, and I will probably decant it and change the name to protect the innocent :)
What a surprising delight Play It Rock is! The first couple of wearings I wasn't overly impressed because it appeared to be a typical heavy, flat vanilla. I chilled the bottle and after of few days of wearing and giving the perfume time to "breathe" the blood orange in the opening is very, very good. The leather note gives the fragrance a bounce and interest that keeps Play It Rock from becoming another faceless vanilla. Sillage is very good and it lasts forever. Skin smells great. Really pleased!
Play It Rock By Playboy Is My Favourite Perfume In The Playboy Range. I Love The Sweetness Of It, It Lasts Fairly Long And I Think The Bottles Cute.
This is an inexpensive tribute to Lancome Hypnose, with a gimmicky name for camouflage. Fresh flower petals in uber-sweet vanilla sauce plus a cute red-and-pink color scheme. For little girls like me. :P
This came out in 2011? I didn't see it til now passing through Sears.
It smells cheap, but I LIKE it. Like, if you just passed through the other perfume counters in the other mall stores, then come to this, you KNOW this is at least $50 bucks cheaper than the others... but I LIKE it. I didn't really get a rocker vibe from it either... but... but I LIKE it. I don't know why, but there's something very likable to this scent, despite the misleading name and the overall cheapness to the scent. So I say give it a try, I too might end up getting this at some point.
smells cheap and I got nauseated and felt I might puke after spraying this on me in the store...
Play It Rock is very lovely for it's price! It's definitely oriental. The scent itself is linear, strong vanilla and something spicy underneath. I really, really like this. Could easily be a designer frag, if only it had better lasting power. On me it's like three to four hours, which is sad. Sillage is medium, not too strong but enough for others to smell this on me. Don't mind the Playboy brand, give it a try!
I saw a 1 oz. bottle on sale for $4.49 at Walgreens, and honestly the Playboy name turned me off from picking it up. I read reviews on here before I decided to go buy it. My husband didn't like it and I was prepared to return it, but today I gave it a full day try and I kind of like it. Citrusy and peppery at first, them powdery and candy apple. I kept getting wafts of it at work and it smelled very feminine and pleasant. It is a pretty safe fragrance for everyday wear. I don't care what my husband thinks, he only likes food scented fragrances like cotton candy (Pink Chiffon Bath and Body) every thing else I own he says smells like old lady perfume.
I was so interested in this perfume because I liked the name
"Play it rock" So I bought it and tried it. When I wear this perfume I don't feel like rock or something like that but I feel so lively so fresh and above all I feel so young hahaha :). So far I am not dissappointed with this perfume. It's good but still not yet my signature.
To me this reminds me of Healing Garden Zzz Therapy body mist & Healing Garden Jasmine body mist combined. idk but thats what popped in my head when I put it on.
I just had to review Play It Rock again......this fragrance smells so freakin' awesome and garners so many compliements! I got this two days after Christmas, and this morning I emptied the bottle!!! Im anxiously awaiting my new bottle any day now. Play It Rock in IMO is a scent that's at least worth a try....
Update 8/4/13
I've gone through bottles of Play It Rock and I also have a stash! This fragrance gets more compliments then any other fragrance I've worn this year,especially from men! My sweetie is crazy about it....I pray its never discontinued❤
dont blind buy this one..i did and i almost feel sick when i sprayed it. its very spicy and..weird. i think a little unisex scent.
I smelled it the other day at Sears-it does resemble Hypnose except Hypnose has a distinctive fruit note but my nose didn't detect that in Playboy scent. I think its nice if you like gormands and don't want to spend big bucks on designer frags.
I saw this tonight in a gift set @ Rite Aid for $7. I remembered the reviewers here @ Fragrantica compared this fragrance to Hypnose Eau Legere and I totally agree ! I'm so in ❤ with Play It Rock right now,it's a really pleasant inexpensive scent! The sales associate went and grabbed the last gift set after I let her smell it, she had no idea that it smelled so good!
I bought this perfume for my friend's birthday gift last month. To be honest, there's nothing unique or outstanding in terms of scent, but surprisingly, it doesn't smell like general-cheapy-drugstore fragrance.
I have to admit the fact that I was one of those sceptical person who was stereotyping the product due to its brand name. However, after testing all the playboy fragrances, I gotta say they do have a good projection on their perfume collections and each new collections, they are getting better in terms of its balance for the juice inside the bottle.
It's inoffensive, universally-acceptable type of perfume since it's one of those general fruity-florale fragrances. However, compared to the previous 'Play it' collection, this one has more hint of vanilla with fresh florale vibe. There's a fruity notes when you spray at the first time, but it goes off within a minute. Instead, white florale scents show off until the end of the scent's trail.
If you're a type of perfume lover who doesn't like strong scent (like myself), then this could be a safe buy as a daily perfume. Like dozens of other drugstore fragrances, it doesn't have a good lasting power, but while it lasts, the sillage is not bad.
And as it has been discussed by many other reviewers, I also don't understand the name of the perfume. This is very light and feminine perfume like a little pink chiffon dress, rather than a leather jacket and gothic smokey make-up looks which could describe the image of 'Rock'.
But apart from the bad naming, well done, Playboy. Keep it up!
I love it, honestly. It reminds me a bit of Circus Fantasy by Britney Spears xo
Spicy and citrus, you cant stop feeling the orange all day long. Soft and nice.
Just got it yesterday and I must admit I am already hooked. Yes, it does resemble Hypnose but actually lasts longer on me. I spray it in my hair (down to my lower back) and the scent wafts beautifully around me. A lovely fruity and zesty opening greets you with mouthwatering orange and candied apple. The spices round it up nicely so it does not turn into a generic fruity floral. I cannot detect the saffron but it does have an exotic edge to it. Heady passionflower lmeets blossoms and woody patch that dries down to creamy tonka. A keeper! I have the whole collection and this one might be one of my faves. Ears up!!!
Tried it on today and I truly believe this gourmand will go in my love collection :S.. I am quite stunned!
Lovely fruity floral scent. This one is my favorite from all "Play it ..." fragrances. But why did they call it Play it rock?! A name such as Play is soft, or Play it delicat, would suit more this scent.
The staying power is very poor, about two hours, but while it last the sillage is good.
Lovers of lancome hypnose should try this one... i was actually complimented on this by the SA at lancome counter, she thought it was hypnose! Lol
patchouli ruins scents this is just awful I have both this and Rihanna's Rebelle on me and they smell similar but neithr is good.
I agree with scud1230. It's really soft fragrance with good staying power (for that price). The title doesn't suit it at all
just bought this one and i am really pleased with it. Its a soft fruity scent that last for a while. The price was really good too. I dont think the title play it rock is right for the scent though
when i put this on, it reminds me of cheap cherries. and i love that!
Very subtle, ordinary, sweet, no rock at all.
This one opens with strong citrus note which then a fades little bit and you get the impression of some joicy fruit - cannot quite figure which. I was sniffing my wrist with my nose put right to it and the smell was too intense, notes were sharp and not put well together... so I gave up and went to wander on the internet... but suddenly I starte realizing this gently sweet scent - vanilly, tonka bean and some spices waffling towards my nose and I surprisingly realized that the source of this more than pleasant scent was my wrist. I can see myself wearing this scent. I can see myself buying this scent... and then I came here and notice Lancome Hypnose on the left and then it hit me - it is almost identical with it but MUCH cheaper. Of course, it is not that well blended as its big Lancome sister - but hey - for that price?
Massive sillage but expected staying power for a drugstore fragrance- a dupe to Lancome's Hypnose with a bit of juicy, fruity, sugary sweet red apple in the top notes. After 30 mins you've definitely got yourself a dead ringer for Hypnose, unmistakable licorice & passionflower combo. Tacky, ugly bottle lid, dull red plastic with no shine like the ad.
This is very light and almost not there, maybe a bit floral but also very alcoholic. It's too subtle for the title "Play it rock" and also very drugstore like.

with the actual hotel. The website is http://grandoasiscancunresort.com/ They have purchased many domain names that
resemble actual hotels, it turns out upon further investigation.
I proceeded to make the reservation thinking I was entitled to all the rights and guarantees of a real hotel which have cancellation policies of full refund up to 72 hours before arrival.
When I submitted my reservation request and Visa number, there was never a disclosure or contractual terms displayed for me to agree to or disagree to. I immediately received an email from the Vacation Store confirming they received my request with still no mention of any terms or conditions. I assumed the Vacation Store must be an official representative of the Grand Oasis Hotel. The first email I received simply confirms receipt of the reservation request, with no conditions of sale
disclosed. I received a second email from Eli an hour and twenty minutes later stating that she has already charged my Visa credit card for the amount of $1836 and that it is non-refundable! At no point did they disclose non-refundable terms of contract until AFTER they took my money.
On May 27th, I emailed Eli formally requesting a refund. She did not respond to my email.
On May 29th, I called the Vacation Store directly and spoke to four female workers. The third was Eli, who told me I agreed to non-refundable terms, and there is no refund. I told her I did not agree to anything, but was instead informed of non-refundable terms after they charged my credit card.
Eli argued with me and said the best she can do is issue the refund less $100 penalty. I asked to speak to her supervisor. She said, the supervisor is on a long distance call and not available. I said I would wait.
The supervisor came on and I explained that fraud was being committed, that my credit card was charged before non-refundable terms were disclosed. She tried to confuse me by stating that the disclosure appeared in the first email before the card was charged, but that is a lie, the condition of sale came after my money was taken, in Eli's second email. She still refused to issue a full refund, and said she would call me back.
I filed a complaint immediately with the BBB of Southeast Florida/Caribbean. When Eli's supervisor found out, she called me at 11:34 a.m. on 5/29 and stated "I was going to give you the full refund, but now that you have made me mad and filed a complaint with the BBB, I am going to charge you the $100 penalty fee."
I am still waiting for any kind of refund to post to my bank account.
I have filed this same complaint with the FTC.

Country dining room painted a hunter green shade
We recently re-finished our basement with the intentions of moving our living room down there, and utilizing the upstairs living room space as a dining room.
The walls were a neutral eggshell-color, but we wanted to darken it a bit, so we chose to paint it hunter green.
We purchased our paint from Wal-Mart, which we've found is the best value. The store brand they carry is Dutchboy which is by far the best quality anywhere for your money. It goes on evenly, and even when painting over a light color, we only had to use two coats.
We used the in-store paint swatches to pick an exact color, as going in we had some sort of shade of green in mind. It was just a matter of picking out the specific shade and having the paint department mix it for us.
It is advised that for those who plan to sell their house in the near future, to choose wall colors that are neutral, earthy and pleasing to the eye. Avoid loud colors that clash with the other walls and feel of the house. Also, think about what shades would complement the room and the flooring.
If the room you are looking to paint lacks windows, you may want to choose a lighter color. If you are looking to make the room feel larger, a lighter color would probably be better as well. The color of your walls will definitely set the mood accordingly, so choose wisely.
Also, be sure to tape edges and use caution when painting around trim and ceilings. The smallest mistake can make the whole job look sloppy.
Do not paint over electrical fixtures either. Remove wall plates and tape around them to prevent drops from getting on places where it does not belong.
Even if you plan to stay in your house forever, you want to do the job right, because you never know what the future may hold.

Benefit of older lens
I bought new DX lenses for my D5100. Now I'm wondering if there is any use/advantage of my older lenses I had from the time when I used my F60 film SLR.
My new lenses:
AF-S 55-300 DX VR Zoom Lense
AF-S 18-55 DX VR Kit lens
AF-3 35mm DX f/1.8G Prime Lens
My old lenses:
Nikkor 28~80 F3.5 ~ f/5.6 f-AF-D
Sigma 100-300mm F4.5-6.7 AF-DL
I tried them on for size and they mount well. They are of course manual focus which is something I can live with if there is any advantage to these lenses. Would my Sigma be a better long zoom for distant objects?
Otherwise I suppose I can try to sell this set to someone still interested in film photography. I still have a couple of unexposed rolls of film and a couple of unopened batteries (but they would be circa 2001).

#1. "RE: Benefit of older lens" | In response to Reply # 0benveniste Nikonian since 25th Nov 2002Sun 06-Jan-13 11:13 AM
While many older "screwdriver" and manual focus lenses can be used to good effect on a D5100, that's less true for entry-level lenses like your 28-80mm and 100-300mm.
The 28-80mm came in two different versions. The first version had a very thin, hard plastic ring for manual focus right next to the filter ring. The second has a slightly wider focus ring a bit further down the barrel, and also has slightly better optics. Both are lightweight and overlap the focal ranges of your two DX zooms. Either can produce nice shots when stopped down a bit. For some shoots, using a 28-80mm may allow you to avoid changing lenses at a critical time, but I think you'll find that advantage is outweighed by the autofocus and VR features of your new lenses.
The Sigma has less range and is slower at all focal lengths than your 55-300mm. It's shorter, lighter, and uses smaller filters, but for a DX camera offers little else. For much of its range, you may find that focus confirmation ("green dot") is unreliable except in very bright light. I've never used the lens, but I can't imagine it outperforming a 55-300mm.
Both of these lenses typically sell for about $40-$60 in the used market. The 28-80mm will provide autofocus operation with most higher end Nikon dSLR bodies, but I'm not sure about the Sigma.

But think twice when it comes to cheap companies! This company is a fraud! They use probably standard logo creation software, students or worse and are not able to listen to the customers when it get into detail (detail means craftsmanship). Suddenly they don't understand what you mean, don't reply quick on e-mails and even examples made to explain what you mean and what you want are completely rejected. We tried multiple times by online chat, Skype and we sended 4 times e-mails explaining what we wanted (including examples of what we would like to see).
It is not even sure that this company is based in America. As I understood from Jessica (helping or should I say not helping people on the online chat) bestlogocreation is based in Nepal!? The owner is from India and probably also the workers but no skills, no service and even complying to the Terms and conditions no money back when you are not satisfied. Paypal will not help as it is immaterial so your on your own. The logo's might be cheap but please all do complain to prevent this company to continue with this work!
This is a complete ripoff as also mentioned in the other complain!

Hey all,
I have a 3 month old and was wondering what everyone does/did for this age when putting them down for a nap. Do you rock them first, or allow them to fall asleep bfing or do you put them down fully awake? I have put him down awake and he doesn't go to sleep. Although I will also rock him and put him down and he wakes back up. But I'm just wondering what other's have done.
Also, does the sleep thing get easier?!! This is the one thing that has made me feel like i have no idea what I'm doing!!

Join The Conversation
Mar 4 Posted 3 years ago
Absolutely Jeff. Participation and the provision of value are of paramount importance (wow, lots of 'p's') in conversations in the real world, and online on social media.
Thanks for the comment and the great advice.
Mar 4 Posted 3 years ago
I agree Jonnie. Passion here is certainly a must, and hiring someone to manage a business' social media properties is a great option for some people.
My one word of advice for anyone hiring a person or company to manage their social media properties is that they shouldn't hire someone and forget about their social media presence. To most consumers, the way businesses conduct themselves on social media is a direct reflection of the business itself. Business owners should stay connected enough to ensure their social media activity – outsourced or not – is accurately reflecting how they want consumers to perceive their business and that activity is working to well defined objectives.
Thanks so much for the comment.
Mar 4 Posted 3 years ago
That's a great tip David.
Just like any great conversation, the best ones online are those that provide value. In the scenario you've outlined in your comment, I suppose that value would be in the form of educating your new acquaintance on the ins and outs of what you do. Additionally, it creates common interest, and context for a deeper level of engagement.
Thanks for the comment David.
Mar 4 Posted 3 years ago
I'm with you Kulls. Businesses that are compelled to remove themselves from conversations on social media due to negativity that is shared by their consumers need to acknowledge that they may have bigger business issues that need to be resolved.
That's also a great point about giving the impression that your business is not concerned with what matters to your consumers.
Thanks for the comment.
Mar 4 Posted 3 years ago
Good points here. The same principles apply in the real world, too; people will be talking about you and your brand. Why not participate in that conversation, let your customers get to know you, and provide them value beyond the sale? Participation in social also goes a long way towards thought leadership in your niche.
Mar 4 Posted 3 years ago
While I am sure that staying active in the social media community can cause headaches for store owners that do not partcipate in these areanas, a business can always hire or promote someone to take care of this task. They will most likely be better suited for the task and more passionate in completing it.
Mar 4 Posted 3 years ago
Clients I work with aren't necessarily as concerned with negative comments as they are "I don't know what to say." This again goes back to the idea that folks are talking about your business whether you're there to respond or not. I typically turn the question around and ask them to pretend we just met at a mutual friend's party. I ask "What would you tell me about what what you do?" Voila... that's what social media is.
Mar 4 Posted 3 years ago
Matthew, you have a point here. Either you do your business offline by working more hours and gaining actual customer satisfaction personally and physically or you address your customer's concerns and get them solved.
By not attending to the discussions, you may also give the impression that you are least concerned.
Good point again.

The Souls of Black Folks, as other reviewers have pointed out, is a masterpiece of African-American thought. But it is even more than that when we consider the context and time in which the book was written. Most of what DuBois discusses is still relevant today, and this is a tribute to the man, not only as a scholar, but as someone who was continually adapting his views in the best image and interests of black people.
Some reviewers refer to DuBois as the Black Emerson and, as a university instructor, I heard similar references made: the Black Dewey or the Black Park, referring to the Chicago School scholars. Du Bois was brilliant; indeed, these white men should be being called the white Du Bois! Du Bois literally created the scientific method of observation and qualitative research. With the junk being put out today in the name of dissertations, simply re-read Du Bois work on the Suppression of the African Slave Trade and his work on the Philadelphia Negro and it is clear that he needs not be compared to any white man of his time or any other: he was a renaissance man who cared about his people and, unlike too many of the scholars of day, he didnt just talk the talk or write the trite; he walked the walk and organized the unorganizable.
White racism suffered because Du Bois raised the consciousness of the black masses. But he did more than that; by renouncing his American citizenship and moving to Ghana, he proved that Pan Africanism is not just something to preach or write about (ala Molefi Asante, Tony Martin, Jeffries and other Africanists); it is a way of life, both a means and an end. Du Bois organized the first ever Pan African Congress and, in doing so, set the stage for Afrocentricity, Black Studies and the Bandung Conference which would be held in 1954 in Bandung, Indonesia. Du Bois not only affected people in this country, he was a true internationalist.
Souls of Black Folk is an important narrative that predates critical race theory. It is an important reading, which predates formal Black Studies. The book calls for elevation of black people by empowering black communities -- todays leadership is so starved for acceptance that I believe that Karenga was correct when he says that these kind of people often doubt their own humanity.
The book should be read by all.

Hi guys -
I've been trying to learn WordPress theming for some time and can't figure it out. The Codex is way too disorganized for me to learn it that way. I think I have an article that shows me something, but then random words in it are hyperlinked, so then I have to read all those and then come back... and in the end I still am not sure what I'm doing.
Is there a site or tutorial out there that's more straightforward about how to create your own themes? More of a "one stop shop" or a single long article (as opposed to countless separate ones) to show someone the basics of this?
And I even know XHTML, CSS, and PHP, I just can't figure out how on god's green earth to actually use it properly to create a theme.

Tradition is what is in the heart and soul of your home, your country, and social environment. Tradition evolves, and it changes regardless of what you do to maintain it.
George Blake
Contributed by: aliGATOR
The question of what is "traditional" always baffles me. Who is to say whether something is traditional or not? The question I ask is, "When does contemporary become traditional?"

The Time Warner installer came out and said we needed a two-man crew, so we rescheduled. A week later, the same man came by himself, said he didn't understand why a two-man crew wasn't assigned, and decided to go ahead with the installation.
He ran the cable from the pole into the house, set up the modem, loaded the software and failed to connect to their cable. He said there was a problem with the cable and that someone would contact us later that night.
No one came or appeared, so finally we called the dispatcher. We were told the installer reported he was unable to run the cable. Despite our insistence that the cable had been run and that the problem was with the signal from it, Time Warner insisted that the installation hadn't been done.
We tried to talk to a supervisor to no avail and finally dismissed this whole affair as yet another failed attempt to get high-speed internet. That was until the bills started coming.
We returned several to the billing address explaining that we did NOT have cable service, had never had cable service, and weren't going to pay for something we didnt' have. We got no reply.
Time Warner's billing department began making "courtesy" calls about the past-due bill. When we explained we had no cable service, they pointed out that we had equipment. We agreed with this and requested that it be picked up.
After many months, the modem was retrieved by a Time Warner installer. Around this time, the account was turned over to a collection agency. We wrote them regarding the dispute telling them that we had never had cable service, but they replied that when they reported this to Time Warner, the company insisted this wasn't true.
Either just before the account was turned over for collection or slightly afterwards, Earthlink called for a quality control follow-up. This was the first and only time we had contact with Earthlink after our initial application. Their name wasn't on any contracts or forms we signed and all billing was through Time Warner.
We explained on this call about all the problems. The reprsentative said nothing, offered no help, and finally hung up.
The collection agency is still calling and claims our account will be turned over to the credit bureaus as a delinquent account. Nothing we do seems to make any impression on these people.
If Time Warner and Road Runner spent as a tenth as much time responding to problems as they do trying to rip off potential customers with non-existent debts, we'd have high-speed interent today intead of a dial-up modem!

While I can't say it's their responsbility or they should have, I sort of wish LFC should had done so too, not because of the owners, but a much bigger picture after having done this great USA tour in the summer, the "Being Liverpool" and having a really great following and fan base here, and then yes, perhaps with the owners..Then again, and I apologize for forgetting his name/position w/ the club (former manager?), I know we, rather they, had black armbands on, and a moment for him, so perhaps that played a part and could have resulted in 3-4 minutes delay and a redundant feeling at the ground..Maybe they did though and I just didn't hear or notice it.. Again, not a responsibility or something I begrudge, but as one of many LFC NY/NJ/Metro area supporters, who've dealt with some massive tragedies the past decade +, it makes us feel a very proud attachment to the club, and many of the same things endured there, without opening up wounds or specifics.Either way, any club who did was a magnificent gesture, and I'm sure the others were more than aware and heard enough.. Seems as if there are far too many instances more and more of these sad occasions taking place everywhere.. Sad society we live in..
