Now this is a contest I can wrap myself around!  I LOVE that Eye Candy!  Looks like I best get my digital camera and flip video all charged up and ready to go! 

Looks very interesting CTS.  I am with Donna above & going to get my video cam & camera ready for this one.  I might put it on my list for today! 

Donna, I can't wait to see what you guys cook up for me. :-)

Kristin, put it on your list! My girl! BTW, kudos and congrats on your wedding, sweetie. :-)

I'm on it.

(I'll make Sweet Potatoe Sal go back to the 'spargus patch for this one. She'll be too busy, to jack my entry.)

Carolyn, I've got an idea for this one... a favorite place of mine too;-)

Hey there Carolyn... interesting contest (and LOTS of rules)!  I have an interesting idea but want to know how loosely we can apply the theme of "Landmarks".  Clearly there are some logical historical choices here in Dallas, but in my mind picking one of those low hanging fruits would be taking the "easy" way out.

C --- I'm not sure that I am creative enough for this, but am going to seriously think about it.

LOL @ Sally. :-)

Looking forward to it Barb. :-)

Steve, you can take the easy path or go on the road less traveled. :-)

Liz, you could always go straight up historical if you like. :-)

Come on Steve You know our Paralegal needs to make sure everything is covered.  She for one is not going to be caught without all bases dealt with!

Sis I love the photo.  1964 World's Fair material of course. 

I knew that Flip camera would come in handy sometime.  I remember the 1964 World's Fair.....it is the only time I was ever in NYC.

Hey Carolyn...

Thanks for including "Whacked!!!" in the mix! BTW, am I missing something because I did not see a deadline for sunmissions?

C...

It's tempting to enter but alas I promised I would never cave and participate in a contest :)

Little by little I find myself wanting to cave. I wonder if I could get away with blaming that on senility :)

TLW...ROAR!

Carolyn, What wonderful contests!  I'll try to come up with a good shot for it :)  I remember the world's fair--mostly just being facinated seeing people from all over the world!

Cool idea, Carolyn, but man there are are a lot of rules. Deadline???

Got some great ideas for both categories.

Jeff

Thank you, Paddy. I adore this place.  The kids love coming here as well. :-)

Ann, you have soooo gotta come back and visit. Seriously! :-)

Richard, my love, it's in the title of the post (LOL).

TLW, it's a woman's prerogative to change her mind (LOL). ;-) Mama, you can do anything you want. Seriously! We're your bay-bays. Think of it as showing us virtual wee one how to get 'er done. :-D

Thank you, Carole. I love the fact that Flushing Meadows has so many historical plaques available to describe the gifts we were given regarding this event.

Jeff, the deadline for submissions is Saturday May 2. :-)

This looks like fun and I am almost tempted to do it . I think I have some good ideas but maybe a little unsure of myself . I might need a little more experience just yet for this one.

Thanks

Liz

Elizabeth B, you don't need any experience. Just pick a spot in your neighborhood that's a landmark and take some shots and chat about it and the area that puppy is located in. Do it your way. Give me a peek into what you see when you travel around your neck of the woods. Go hyper-local and show me something I don't know. Believe me, there's a lot I do not know and haven't seen. Teach me. Show me. Don't compare yourself to anyone else. Eye candy is in the eye of the beholder.  :-)

So, the Hooters girls at the blood drive I sponsored and participated in would qualify?  PG if not G...

;^ )

LOL @ Lane. I am soooo not touching that. BTW, Mikey now has a cool aid grin (LMAO). ;-)

C - This is certainly something I could participate in, need to bookmark too late to follow any rules :)  I love your shot.

wow you're quite the RULEmaker AND RAINmaker!:-))) I made it through the rules and survived....usually i stop after "L"..:-) .......So I almost get it.......but I missed something...whats the THEME???  Local landmarks only where we live - or travel........or or or???

Oh, yeah...I'm in for sure...you KNOW...how I love to take everyone on a sightseeing trip :) :)

Thank you Jennifer, looking forward to it. :-)

Liz, Landmarks is the theme. You get to pick what ever you can cover. You choose. :-)

C-Sally-C, looking forward to seeing what ever you cook up. :-)

Another contest, how fun! Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

Great idea for a contest. Las Vegas has imploded a lot of history to make way for the latest megaresorts, but I think I can still find a few good landmarks this week.

This sounds pretty interesting.. I take it my post on The Great Watermelon may not qualify.

Carolyn, Sounds like a lot of fun. Couldn't you simplify the rules just a little? Count me in anyway...

Your building consultant for life in Nashville, TN

Carolyn- can't wait t see the entries.

If I can fit my creative spirit around ALL the rules I will SO be there! I just have this public humilitation issue if I screw up! I think I can, I think, I can, I think I can....

Ok, I'm on the hunt now for landmarks...I'm not sure there any real famous ones here in my neck of the woods, lots of history though.  I'll see what I can come up with!

Carolyn, This looks pretty cool so I need to remember to take my camera with me more often. I wish I had it earlier this month for some of the wacky 420 celebrations here in Austin! LOL

This contest should have a lot of entries.  I'm in for sure.

Lots of rules, but this could be fun. "Eye-candy," huh? Not sure that makes me think of my local community, but I'll figure something out.

I had to read this post... turned out better than I was expecting.  I'm in... I already have my idea, how much is the prize money?  Thanks for generating interest.

HI Carolyn - I have not entered a contest for a while, and will try and enter this one. The weather has been cooperating, and I would like to take some more photos.

Will have to think hard about what I might want to enter :)  Lots of great local landmarks around here.

I have to figure out where I can come up with. Man o man, what to do!

I can't wait to start seeing some of these. I have a couple of things in mind too.

Ok - I am already at work at one and will give it a go - Great contest! This will be my first to participate but I'm really looking forward to it!

Wow I live in landmark central.  So I'll have to look for something outside the usual to share.

Frank and Sharon, I am looking forward to it as well. :-)

John N, very cool. I love Robert's pics of the area and can't wait to see your take on this subject in L.V. :-)

Roland, I must admit I kinda wanna see the great watermelon (LOL). Work it in, bay-bay! Maybe your fruit can wear a hat and host the landmark tour (LOL). Yes, people, you may have lots of fun with it. Don't be shy! You can do alot with PG if you try. Seriously! ;-)

Carolyn - I love this stuff!

As soon as I get some time from doing actual Real Estate yes I'm in. Been so so busy lately. Hope I make the deadline. This kinda thing is right up my alley I believe. Very cool idea. Gotta go over all those rules again though. ugh....

It's a good thing that I actually took pictures before my camera battery went dead, and that I learned how to make movies on the computer. Only thing I'm curious about: how do you do meta tags in wysiwyg?

Sounds like a great contest.  Who knows I might come up with something newsworthy yet.

This sounds like such a fun contest, C.  I have a great idea on what subject I would use, too.  Thanks.

Can you show us what one in the past? Want to make sure I have the rules straight.

Oh my word, I owe a lot of people responses to their comments (LOL). I've been running around filming like crazy and have got to catch this post up. 

Michael, if I simplify the rules then the growth of the other groups wouldn't be contributed to. It's fun including the smaller to medium sized groups as partner contest hosts. Making one group a mandatory post and a couple of others optional contributes to more membership activity for us all. People usually post in their regular group lists, so if they want to play, they have to potentially expand their group list to possibly include the one or two they have never heard of or posted to if it is a mandatory post requirement. Then there is the link love involved (LOL) :-)

Janice, I do hope you will enter. :-)

Sarah G, eye candy is in the eye of the beholder. You can not screw up. :-)

Sharon T, looking forward to it! ;-)

Russell, have lots of fun with it. :-)

Rebecca G, sometimes that worries me (LOL). We have such a hard time judging these puppies because so many people contribute such good stuff. :-)

Melissa Z, I bet if you just made a small list of things to do from the rules you'd have a stellar outline. It's a lot easier than people think if they get past Wordy C. (LOL)

Matt is in! Awesome! ;-)

Sharon is coming out to play. Yay! 

Com on, Tammy. I know you're gonna cook something interesting up. You're one of my bay-bays! ;-)

Jeanette, are ya' kidding me? You have Disney!!! (LOL) You also have some stellar mansions. Really nice old estates... Hmm... what to do indeed. ;-)

Connie, I am a happy camper. Anticipation... (Yup. It's true. I'm singing the song - LOL) :-)

Christianne, come on over to the eye candy side, sweetie pie. I bet if you hang out with us long enough you will never blog the same again (LOL). :-D

Cindy J, I shall be awaiting your entry. :-)

Robert, the rules are window dressing (LOL).

William J, I am running out the door but I shall e-mail you when I get back.

Russ R, I bet you can. :-)

C: I don't know if I can beat your picture on this blog, that is pretty darn good! Sounds like a lot of fun thought.

I keep saying that I'm going to do one of these and I still haven't. Maybe this will be the one.

Sandy C, do what you do lovely! Post away! :-)

JL, I hope this is the one. Lots of nice points up for grabs. :-)

Carol - oh my god... I didn't make the deadline... I don't have the time today. Sorry unless you can extend this contest I don't think I'm gonna make it this time....:-( 

I hope this is until 11:59pm tomorrow (sat) ....  let me know as I am almost done.

Well, I do have one up and it's not transferring to Localism....yet. I'll get the link over shortly. :)

Localism link for my entry :) :)

Also, flew out an email fom PAWS group :) Hmm....is your group email working? I keep having trouble with it.

Yay! An entry! Very cool.

C-Sally-C, my group e-mail has a mind of its own. It doesn't work, then it works late (LOL).

Robert, I hope you have time to snap a few shots of something today. If enough people bug us about an extension we'll have to consider it. I hate empty contest slots. Seriously! It's a waste of points... We want to be fair but we want the people who get theirs in on time not to be compromised as well. We'll just have to see how the day progresses. Please see if you can get your entry in. :-)

C, good luck with putting a wrap on this wonderful contest for the group. I always love your Unisphere picture because I was this little kid running around in that area when it was built. Brings back memories.

Thank you, Gary. This should be very interesting. People are filling up my e-mail with questions (LOL). I may have to post another post just to answer them all. :-)

Here's my first entry: http://localism.com/blog/ct/waterbury/posts/1059327/Club-Chaos-Eye-Candy

And you never did get back to me about my questions!!! :-)

The video will be even better...I hope.....

Hi William. I sent you an e-mail (LOL). Check your in-box. Looking forward to checking out your entries. :-)

Hi Carol, Here's my submission. I hope I did this ok... Not sure if I got it into Localism.com or not. Can you see if I did this ok? I think I did but.....Thanks....:-)

And here's the link to the video entry: http://localism.com/blog/ct/waterbury/posts/1059547/Club-Chaos-Eye-Candy - I just wish I knew how to get rid of the video attachments at the end...I think that Jeff Turner did a tutorial on it...

Yay! We've got video! Thank you WJW! :-)

Yikes I'm surprised there aren't more entries......:-) Perhaps everyone left it to the last minute like I did?:-)

Carolyn, here's my entry with the Localism link. Great fun contest.

http://localism.com/blog/tx/arlington/posts/1059707/Dallas-Ft-Worth-Spaceship

Carolyn - well here's my photo entry. What a blast. We'll see if I can get the video one done as well, but that may be overkill.

Trying to get a video one done too if I can...not sure if it's going to meet the 1.5 minute requirement and don't want to put all the work into doing it if it is not going to meet the requirements of a valid entry for the contest.

I'm backon track on my video. I've got a work around to post to youtube. I'll be here by midnight.  Criminy, not only was I off by 2 weeks, I had 3 appts today, and have had a migraine.  When it rains, it freekin hails golf balls.

But I'm going to do it.

Carol - I'll never get my video done in time. Maybe next time. But what the heck at least I got in a photo entry. thanks for the opportunity and fun! :-)

Liz, I am having the most fascinating time reading my e-mail regarding this (LOL). Seems they forgot they had a week to get 'er done. :-)

Thank you, Gary. This should be very interesting. :-)

Jeff, awesome! Glad you could make it. :-)

Donna, my love, you can always add photographs to the montage if you need more visuals to fill up the minimum time. Unless, of course, you're talking about being over five minutes (LOL). :-)

Sally, looking forward to it. :-)

Robert, next time will be sooner than you think (LOL).

Here ya go, C-Tann.  I still show that it is May 2nd, so I hope I'm not too late.

For some reason, it isn't showing up on Localism, even though I have posted it to Localism (California, Riverside County, Riverside, Historical Downtown District).  I don't know what the problem is.  I hope that doesn't disqualify me.  I worked really hard on this.

Here's my video submission....see what you did.....we went on an excursion this morning until this afternoon....woohoo!

Hope you like!

Heather, you are not too late. I've had six e-mails about people not being able to post (receiving error messages). We talked it over and decided not to penalize anyone who is trying to get their entry in. The deadline is extended one day to midnight tomorrow. I clicked the Localism links and got "this page has moved" messages (LOL).

C-Sally-C said VIDEO!!!!!!! Yay! I love video! (LOL)

C - Here's my video post to the contest...I made it just under the wire and got it posted at 11:57 pm...phew!! My only problem is that I'm having a big problem with the embed code from Mixpo....Hope it's okay to have a link to  the video.

http://activerain.com/blogsview/1060095/The-Carousel-at-Lighthouse-Point-Park-Morris-Cove-New-Haven-CT-Club-Chaos-Candy

Nothing makes me more crazy than to see that page. Error 404 is back playing havoc with my contest (LOL). The nerve of the server. How can you not find my bay-bays? Now I can't watch my movie because I have to answer a bunch of e-mail. I figured I'd nip it in the bud by posting the documentation here.

Yes. The server kicked my bay-bays out.

Yes, we are extending it for one more day until midnight.

Yes, you do have time to post.

No, I am not entertaining complaints regarding the judges deciding to let people post. THAT'S why we have multiple judges. Five heads are better than one and if three can agree then that's the end of the story. I'm sure if the other two were still on-line we'd have five in agreement. As it is, you can thank Mafia Wars for three of us being awake in Facebook. In my case, you may also want to thank the Minion Blur, which is why I am still playing Mafia Wars, Sorority and Farm Town  (LMAO). ;-)

Get your entries in people! This may or may not be maintenance issues. I sent yall a group e-mail and updated the contest post to get your attention. Gotta get back to my game. Will be peeking in and updating the blog roll with your links for the next few hours. :-)

Donna, I shall try an help you with that. I'm getting a bit of error e-mail updates and now have nine to answer. Seems I have quite a few last minute entries that are trying to work while the platform is going through a few late night adjustments (LOL). I'm sure we'll have your Localism link all done in a few. The Mixpo dashboard is linked into the AR dash, just like Localism. We will sort it all out in the end. :-)

Woohoo!....I just found the link to my localism post for the video contest! :-)

Hi Carolyn - Here's my photo entry: Club Chaos Eye Candy: MonteLago Village. Thanks for running this contest; it really helped me remember how much fun it is to chase after the perfect image.

Sally, Localism is giving us a run for the money tonight (LOL). Here is where your post link should be:

http://localism.com/blog/ca/fair_oaks/posts/1060257/Fair-Oaks-Video-Tour

I will add it to the blog roll. :-)

John, awesome! I have your Localism link posted. We going to have a grand time sorting through these. There are a lot of stunning shots in your post. So many people are giving us a run for our money. This will be a tough one to judge.  :-)

Hi Carolyn~

I was thrilled to finally see a contest I could sink my teeth into. It's been a while since one sparked any creativity in me. I just wish I'd had more time. I have lots of video footage but it's not put together. It's 11:00 here... I have no idea what time it is on AR =/

Ah hah! I see by my last comment that AR is one hour behind me. Hmmm.

Here is my link for my entry.

Bummer I missed it!!  I'll be ready for the  next one though!!

Morning bay-bays. I shall update the blog roll. Thank you for the entries. :-)

Kate, the next one will be sooner than you think (LOL).

Lisa, save that footage. The next one is around the corner and down the block, so start editing that puppy (LOL). Will we be doing landmarks again? Maybe... Give me two weeks to chat with the boss of me (LOL) If Melodious is up to it, so am I. BTW, Localism has been very interesting this weekend. ;-)

Erik, glad you got that puppy in. ;-)

Yay Richard! ;-)

Linda is on the house! :-)

Kari, my love, good to see you're in. :-)

Hellooooo Frank and Sharon. Glad to see you made it. :-)

Connie, you "got it" sweetie. :-D

Hey Silvia, very cool. ;-)

Donna, there's an update for the plug in for the Firefox browser. Mine gets a little hinky once in a while as well. I like the Mozilla better, so I try to avoid IE unless I need the MLS (LOL).

Laura, lovely to see your entry. Glad you made it. :-)

Well, so who are the winners? It's Cinco de Mayo! Or do you just have too many great choices! lol

We're anxious here, Miss C.  We need to know who the standouts were in your eyes.  :)

We're all up and I have to finish editing the contest roll with the links. You guys did a lovely job, so yeah, we're freaking out trying to pick the winners (LMAO). ;-)

I may not sleep much tonight... :-)

Miss C—Inquiring minds want to know... it's 11:48 p.m.on May 5th... so we're anxiousy awaiting the drum roll - (LMAO in anticipation)! I'm sure you'd like us leave you alone so you can get on with the important business of moderating the contest. I appreciate the potential of your sleepless condition.

Carol - Ok I'm up and ready for the results. The anticipation and anxiety is high..... Hope you got some sleep.... :-)

Some great entries. Tough choices to make.

Okay, okay, okay (LOL).

BIG APOLOGY TO DONNA. I mixed up the photography and video links. My bad. Fixed them. :-)

Okay, we're gearing up for the next one at the end of the month. Subject: Vacation/Area Events. We will also be doing the Landmarks contest again. Right after the Vacation version. If you missed your deadline for this one, don't chuck your preliminary work. Round two will be coming up for you very shortly. BTW, I want more video!  :-)

I am getting prepared for the next contest! 

Carol - Looking forward to the landmarks contest. I will be ready this time with video I hope... Is this Landmarks contest over yet? Didn't see the winner or did I miss something. Very possible on my end. :-)

Carol - Thanks for the contest. I just saw the winners annnounced up above. Congratulations to everyone! 

Carolyn - thanks! I am so excited!!!! What a great Mother's Day surprise! :)))))))))))))))

Amityville Horror House? With Club Chaos Eye Candy??
