Over the past several years, reality TV has gained much popularity among television viewers all over the globe. The nature of this type of television has been evolving for quite some time, with the existence of court TV, and the development of a number of shows seeking the next big entertainer. Now, there is a reality show that is sure to suit almost any interest and commandeer the attention of a loyal fan base. These shows are fun to watch and interesting to follow; but what if you had the opportunity to actually participate in one?
When raised, this question congers up many images. Many people choose to watch a particular reality show because it coincides with their interests, but when it comes to participation, there is more that must be factored in that interest alone. First, you would want to find a show that you could directly relate to, and meet with at least some success. For example, if you are not a singer, you would not want to seriously audition for a show designed to find the next pop star. The idea is usually to win, so that is what you should set out to do.
Still, choosing a reality show could be difficult. People learn from watching others, and what better way to become familiar with a show and all it entails than to watch and see how it works. The key is to find a show you would enjoy, since remaining on it will take up a lot of your time. Find something that allows you to use your skills and personal attributes. This is important because you will most likely be competing for something. Everyone else around you will carry that same mentality, so it really does become a matter of survival of the fittest.
While reality shows are fun, you're really in it to win. You will want your face to be the one people will look forward to seeing every week, so choose a show where you can really excel. Your choices are numerous and diverse, so you should have no problem finding a show that will suit you. The opportunities are endless. The beauty is that often times you will have the chance to repeat your performance the following year should you not make it to the end of the season. No matter which show you choose, have fun. If you are enjoying your performance, the audience will pick up on that, and it will go far to enhance your ratings.

Complete sit-up pullovers. Sit-up pullovers will work your triceps and abs and help you burn fat. Hold a weight in each hand and lie on an exercise mat with your arms extended directly above you. With your knees bent and your feet flat, slowly curl your body up to lift your head, shoulders, and back off the ground. Keep your arms up and move them in a smooth arc-like motion towards your knees. Hold this position for one second, then lower yourself back down. Do 2-3 sets of 10-15 reps.[4]
Quick Q&A: Which is better at relieving anxiety — a warm bubble bath or a 20-minute jog? You might be surprised at the answer. The warm and fuzzy chemicals that are released during and after exercise can help people with anxiety disorders calm down. Hopping on the track or treadmill for some moderate-to-high intensity aerobic exercise (intervals, anyone?) can reduce anxiety sensitivity Effects of aerobic exercise on anxiety sensitivity. Broman-Fulks JJ, Berman ME, Rabian BA, Webster MJ. Department of Psychology, The University of Southern Mississippi, Hattiesburg, MS, USA. Behavior Research and Therapy. 2004 February;42(2):125-36. Exercise for the treatment of depression and anxiety. Carek PJ, Laibstain SE, Carek SM. Department of Family Medicine, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, SC, USA. The International Journal of Psychiatry in Medicine. 2011;41(1):15-28.. And we thought intervals were just a good way to burn calories!
When many people decide to "get fit," they assume it involves rigorous activity. But you don't have to spend hours in a gym to be physically active. People can get in shape by performing everyday activities in the home. Every time you and your child throw a softball, swim a lap, climb a flight of stairs, walk to the store, or carry packages, your health and fitness levels are improving.
HOW TO DO IT: Assume a wide sumo stance with your feet farther than shoulder-width apart and your toes pointed out slightly. Drop your weight into your heels and lower your hips until your palms reach the box without rounding your lower back. Jump your feet back into a plank. Reverse the movement and repeat for 30 to 60 seconds. Add height to the box if the movement is too difficult.
"Push-ups are a great exercise that can be done regressively or progressively. Adding things like shoulder taps, mountain climbers, or even negatives are great ways to add more effectiveness to push-ups done without weight," explained Septh. Similarly, Barajas mentioned a change simple as switching up your hand placements (wide, narrow, etc.) will work different parts of the muscles.
For urban runners and power-walkers, one of the biggest obstacles is other people. It's difficult to get in your meditative zone and enjoy your music when you constantly have to dodge people. To resolve this vexing issue, Runbell, a startup in Tokyo, has developed the runner's version of the bicycle bell. With this lightweight brass bell warning people you're approaching from behind, you're free to maintain your transcendental state while continuing your workout. Head to their Kickstarter campaign to pledge your support.
Exercise helps people to lose and maintain weight. An exercise session burns calories and elevates metabolic rate both during exercise and then for hours after exercise is completed. It helps to preserve and build lean muscle mass. It works to suppress appetite. All of these benefits work together to make exercise vital for maintaining weight loss.
You're adding lean muscle. If you did a strength-training routine, your muscles are now starting to rebuild themselves and repair the microscopic tears that come with lifting weights, says Paul Gordon, PhD, director of the Laboratory for Physical Activity at the University of Michigan School of Medicine in Ann Arbor. Preliminary research shows that women respond to and recover from resistance training faster than men.
This is a time tested exercise to reduce arm fat and have toned arms. It is also an effective exercise to remove belly fat which strengthens the core. For this exercise, you need to select an item from your home to use as a weight. You can use a 2 liter cold drink bottle or a water bottle for this exercise. If you have a pair of dumbbells at home it works out just fine. The aim is to reach out for something which weighs around one kilo. Avoid using something breakable or valuable. It may fall down and break, so be very careful with your choice.

Currently doing the 30 day abs, thighs, and arms workout (I tend to the arms and thighs in the morning, and then abs at night) and I'm loving it so far. I've just finished the beginners 2.0 calender and I've been watching what I eat, and I can feel the change. Maybe not completely visibly – although I am noticing some stretch marks on my stomach fading a lot more – but mentally I feel more happy, more energetic, and more determined to loose weight.
6. Never do the same arm workout for more than 2 weeks. The female body is a highly adaptable organism. If you do the same workout over and over again, your results will come to a screeching halt. Always have a new workout ready to go every 2 weeks. If you are a beginner, you have a little more wiggle room here. If you are advanced, you have to change your workout even more frequently! Note: doing a different workout every time you walk into the gym will give you the fastest results.
HOW TO DO IT: Stand with your feet together and hold both arms straight in front of you, palms together. Jump your feet apart, push your hips back, bend your knees and lower into a squat while pulling your arms apart and squeezing your shoulder blades together. Shift your weight over your right leg, and then your left leg, then right and left again before returning back to center and standing back up. Gradually increase your speed and range of motion throughout the set.
This one is obvious, right? Everyone knows things with a high sugar content (yes, sodas, cakes and pastries, we're looking at you) is bad for health. Sugar on its own is not bad at all but in order to lose flabby arms, one has to cut down food with excessive sugar content. In order to reducing arm fat, make changes to your daily diet to cut back on added sugar. For example, reduce the amount of sugar you add to your cup of coffee or tea, instead of buying canned or bottled juices, make your own fresh fruit juice, instead of sugar loaded breakfast cereals, try porridge of oats and add some fresh fruit for a dash of sweetness.
Stand with feet slightly wider than shoulder width, toes angled out slightly. Keep your core engaged as you hinge at the hips, lowering into a sumo squat position while simultaneously keeping the hands positioned in front of the chest. Release the hands to the floor and jump or step back to a high-plank position; be sure to maintain a neutral spine. Reverse the squat thrust, jumping or stepping feet back toward the hands and rising up to the starting position. Complete a total of eight to 10 reps.
Stretch your arms to the side and bring them back to your front, the right hand should overlap the left. This resembles an open scissors. You need to stretch them to the side again and bring them back to the front. This time your left arm should overlap your right. This is a complete rep and this exercise needs to be done in 3 sets of 10 reps every day.
Ginger has been used to cure many ailments, and now, researchers have found that ginger also aids weight loss. Ginger increases lactic acid production by the muscles. Lactic acid stimulates the release of the growth hormone, which results in the breakdown of fat. Therefore, adding ginger to your food or just eating a small piece of raw ginger will help you to lose weight (2).
Lovitt likes to combine two lower-body classics—a curtsy lunge and reverse lunge—into one creative exercise to mix things up. "It's a fun, effective compound movement." Compound movements are exercises that engage more than one major muscle group, so you get more work done in less time—this one primarily works your glutes, quads, hamstrings, and inner thighs (and helps keep things fresh if you're bored of working your lower body with regular bodyweight squats or lunges). This specific combination goes like this: curtsy lunge, reverse lunge, hop (bonus!), reverse lunge, repeat.

Another study this month, from Mayo Clinic, found that exercise in older people who were formerly sedentary had at least as strong an impact as in it did in young people—at least in the kinds of genes that were expressed. The study also found that these changes were much more robust in response to interval training than to weight lifting or moderate exercise. Which may mean that for some things, the type of exercise we chose matters.
The furniture should be at least 2 feet higher than the ground. You should have 3 feet of free space in front of the item, to perform this exercise with ease. Face away from the furniture and place your hands on it. Your arms should be shoulder width apart. Move three to four steps away from the furniture; keep your upper body straight. This is your starting position. Bend your knees to match the furniture. Bend your elbows and move your whole body to the ground, the aim is to touch the floor. Come back into your normal position. You need to do 3 sets of 20 reps, every day. This is undoubtedly one of the best exercises to do to lose weight fast.
5. Stimulate all 3 "muscle fiber types" in your arm. Generally speaking, your arms have 3 types of "muscle fibers" that respond to different amounts of weight. The easiest way to stimulate all 3 types is to use heavy, medium and light weights in your workouts. Miss this one, and your results will plateau very quickly. Tip: have some caffeine right before working out if you don't want to feel the "burn".
FIT TIP: If you exercised on an empty or almost-empty stomach, you're probably feeling light-headed or even nauseated or headachy. Your immediate food fix: A high-carb nosh, like a banana or half a bagel, will refuel you and kick-start your recovery. And don't forget to drink plenty of water with your snack. Intense or long workouts can leave you dehydrated.
Exercise reduces risks for serious illness. Exercise reduces people's chances of developing and dying of illnesses such as heart disease. It does this by lowering illness risk factors such as triglyceride and overall cholesterol levels, while improving the level of HDL (the "good" cholesterol which is thought to reduce the risk of heart disease). Weight-bearing exercise and strength training activities help to maintain or increase bone mass, reducing a person's risk for osteoarthritis and associated bone fractures. Regular exercise also lowers resting blood pressure rates for hours after an exercise session is over. In addition, moderate exercise may significantly reduce the risk of developing type II diabetes. Arthritics who exercise often experience more strength and flexibility in their affected joints as well as a reduced pain levels. Furthermore, exercise may delay or prevent the development of arthritis in other joints. Regular walking of over a mile a day has been shown to reduce the risk of stroke significantly. Exercise even appears to reduce the risk of developing some cancers, especially cancers of the breast and colon.
Flabby arms are something a lot of us have to tend to. If you find yourself buying a sweater or cardigan to go with your tank top or usually opt for the long-sleeved dress, then you're not alone. Usually a result of genes, general excess fat or just ageing, it seems difficult to lose arm fat. The fat in our arms accumulates mainly around the triceps – the muscles on the back of your upper arm – and are prone to getting flabby if not exercised regularly.
Thanks for the tips. My problem is that I am not that fat. My sister is extremely thin but have non- proportional flabby arms. And I seem to have it too. But when I try workouts everybody tells me that it's going to build muscles and make me look hunky. I just want to look slim without having muscles. Is it true that these workouts can build muscles? Is there any way to be slim without having to build muscles?
Feeling uninspired in the cubicle? The solution might be just a short walk or jog away. Research shows that workers who take time for exercise on a regular basis are more productive and have more energy than their more sedentary peers Employee self-rated productivity and objective organizational production levels: effects of worksite health interventions involving reduced work hours and physical exercise. Von Thiele Schwarz, U, Hasson, H. Department of Psychology, Stockholm University, Stockholm, Sweden. Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2011 Aug;53(8):838-44. A randomized controlled trial of the effect of aerobic exercise training on feelings of energy and fatigue in sedentary young adults with persistent fatigue. Puetz, T.W. Flowers, S.S., O'Connor, P.J.

While busy schedules can make it tough to squeeze in a gym session in the middle of the day, some experts believe that midday is the ideal time for a workout due to the body's circadian rhythms.
1. It strengthens the heart. The heart is a muscle. Like other muscles, its performance improves when it's regularly challenged by exercise. The heart responds to exercise by becoming stronger and more efficient. Strengthening the heart muscle can help ward off heart disease -- the leading cause of death in the United States, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services -- even in early childhood.
Reduce your risk of heart diseases. Exercise strengthens your heart and improves your circulation. The increased blood flow raises the oxygen levels in your body. This helps lower your risk of heart diseases such as high cholesterol, coronary artery disease, and heart attack. Regular exercise can also lower your blood pressure and triglyceride levels.

It doesn't take a lot to see that this measure is less about crime than it is about attacking gun owners.
If they want to attack an issue that kills a ton of Nevadan's every year, they should look at banning tired, stoned or drunk people from driving and pour millions of tax dollars toward arresting those gross offenders.
O'h.... Wait... They already do that... I guess we should ban cars. Then nobody could ever get hurt by one, ever again. Of course, that ban would only apply to the poor people, not the rich, or the politicians, since they NEED vehicles to travel to their very important meetings on how to fleece us from our money and sell out our State to Corporate interests...
I can hear it now.. If it saves just one child's life, we should all be happy to take the tennis shoe express or alternative travel everywhere we go. I mean, just how long could it extend the trip from Elko to Reno anyway...
Some people are as useful as a football bat.

No politician has a problem with gun owners.
They see more votes in taking the side against them then taking the side with them.
100% about the votes.
0% about the guns.
Same goes for:
Gay rights
Social programs
School funding
They just pander to the group they feel will get them in and keep them in office.
It is not personal for them.

Pretty much agree. They're just really kinky whores we pay to nail us in the backside. But I disagree on there being no agenda. Without guns there is a blatantly lopsided playing field. That is why Sam Colt called them the great equalizer. And if you are in control by some advantage (wealth, position, law) you don't want that advantage equalized.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to storage carriers or folders and more particularly to a novel such folder which when folded resembles a conventional book, and yet interiorly carries a cassette recording of a particular book and which includes pockets for holding printed literature pertaining to the book so that indicia on the literature is available for visual observation similar to a book cover.
2. Brief Description of the Prior Art
It has been the conventional practice to provide a variety of folders, carriers and covers for recorded messages in either printed or photographic form. These carriers or folders are intended to protect the recorded information and to serve as a storage device for the particular material being housed. A typical example resides in the album cover for a record or a folded over book jacket cover for printed subject matter.
Problems and difficulties have been encountered with such conventional storage carriers or folders which stem largely from the fact that the carriers are not intended to hold thick items such as cassettes or cartridges holding standard tape recordings. Also, means must be provided for holding the standard tape cartridges or cassettes on the carrier so they may be readily and easily inserted for storage and removed for usage. Another problem in conventional storage carriers resides in the fact that the external appearance of the entire carrier does not resemble a book and, therefore, the association with the tape recording on the cassette containing recorded book information is lost.
Therefore, a long standing need has existed to provide a novel folder or carrier which simulates the appearance of a book including display of book cover information, and which will readily house a tape recording of the book material in a manner which may be readily withdrawn for playback purposes.
Accordingly, the above problems and difficulties are obviated by the present invention which provides a novel carrier or folder for protecting and storing recorded information on a tape carried in a cartridge or cassette form which substantially comprises a rectangular backing sheet having opposite end portions which are covered by a pair of front sheets that are attached along their common peripheral edges maintaining the opposing edges of the front sheet separated in fixed spaced apart relationship and open in order to receive the opposite ends of a rectangular printed sheet containing indicia similar to the information jacket for a book. The recorded information on the tape is co-related or corresponds to the information on the printed sheet so that the user will identify the information on the tape by the printed information. A central strip is provided between the opposite ends of the backing sheet and integral therewith that is defined by a pair of parallel spaced apart score lines wherein each score line is immediately adjacent to the opening to a respective front sheet pocket whereby the opposite end portions of the backing sheet may be folded over upon itself to simulate a closed book. Indicia on the printed sheet appears through the transparent central strip of the backing sheet for observation by the user so as to identify the book recorded information. At least one raised pocket or pouch is carried on a selective one of the front sheets for removably storing a tape cassette or cartridge and means are integrally formed with the pouch or yieldably holding the cartridge in place. A feature of the invention resides in constructing the thickness of the pocket or pouch to be substantially equal to the width of the central strip so that the backing sheet portion may be readily folded over upon itself, resulting in the backing sheet end portion being substantially parallel to one another to accommodate the thickness of the cassette or cartridge.
Therefore, it is among the primary objects of the present invention to provide a novel transparent folder or carrier for a recorded tape cassette or cartridge which simulates a printed book when the covers are closed.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a novel carrier or folder for holding a tape cartridge or cassette containing recorded information for a particular book and which includes a sheet of printed indicia displaying the title, author and other book information thereon which is readily visible through the transparent material of the carrier or folder.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a novel carrier or folder which will contain printed subject matter and tape recorded information pertaining to the same subject matter wherein when the carrier or folder is folded over upon itself, it will simulate a closed book with its book jacket available for visible observation by the user.
The features of the present invention which are believed to be novel are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. The present invention, both as to its organization and manner of operation, together with further objects and advantages thereof, may best be understood with reference to the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a front perspective view showing the novel folder or carrier of the present invention, simulating a book cover;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the folder or carrier opened to show the interior thereof;
FIG. 3 is a plan view of the folder or carrier shown in FIGS. 1 and 2;
FIG. 4 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the folder or carrier illustrated in FIG. 3 as taken in the direction of arrows 4--4 thereof;
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of another embodiment or version of the present invention; and
FIGS. 6 and 7 are plan and cross-sectional views of another version of the folder or carrier.
Referring to FIG. 1, the novel record holder of the present invention which may be defined as a folder or carrier is illustrated in the general direction of arrow 10 which includes an elongated, rectangular sheet of material forming a backing sheet identified by numeral 11 which is folded over upon itself about a pair of score lines indicated by numerals 12 and 13 respectively. The score lines are placed in fixed parallel spaced apart relationship on the interior surface of the backing sheet 11 and the score lines are spaced apart so that when the backing sheet is folded over about the score lines, the resultant article represents a book cover. This is further achieved by defining the backing sheet as having end portions 14 and 15 that terminate in square corners such as corners 16 and 17 that are aligned and adjacent to one another in spaced apart relationship. Alignment also occurs when the end portions 14 and 15 are folded over so that the terminating edges, such as edges 18 and 19, are further aligned to represent a simulated book cover closure.
A pliable sheet 20 is provided which is elongated and rectangular so as to lie immediately adjacent to the backing sheet 11. The sheet 20 is preferably of paper or cardboard and carries indicia, such as indicated by numeral 21, that will appear or be displayed through the central strip of the backing sheet defined between the score lines 12 and 13. The backing strip is indicated by numeral 22. Therefore, when the end portions 14 and 15 of the backing sheet 11 are folded over the score lines so that the opposite terminating ends of the respective end portions are aligned as well as the corners, a book cover is substantially simulated. The indicia displayed through the transparent material of the backing sheet further provides the illusion of a book cover. However, instead of a plurality of printed pages being carried between the end portions, it will be noticed in FIG. 2 that a pouch 25 is provided for receiving in slidable relationship, a standard tape cassette or cartridge 26.
Referring now in detail to FIG. 2, the pouch 25 is suitably carried on a surface of a selected one of a pair of front sheets indicated by numerals 26 and 27. The front sheets 26 and 27 are secured to the backing sheet along common peripheral edges by heat sealing, adhesive or other suitable means. However, it is to be particularly noted that opposing edges of the front sheets 26 and 27 are maintained open in order to provide an entrance into an area between the opposing surfaces of the front sheets and the backing sheet end portions. The edges defining the entrances are identified by numerals 28 and 29 and it is to be particularly noted that the opposite ends of the sheet 20 carrying the indicia are insertably positioned through the entrances and enter pockets defined by the front sheets and the end portions of the backing sheet. Once the sheet of material 20 has been so disposed, the indicia carried on the outer surface of the sheet will be displayed through the transparency of the backing sheet material. It is also within the inventive concept to include indicia on both sides of the sheet 20 so that display thereof can be through the front sheet 26, if desired. The sheet 20 may include score lines corresponding to the score lines 12 and 13 which will ease the fold-over of the end portions of the backing sheet when so manipulated.
The pouch 25 includes a raised sidewall 30 and a top panel 31. The sidewall 30 is of a thickness to accommodate the thickness of a conventional tape cassette or cartridge and it is an important feature of the invention that the width of the central strip 22 be of substantially equal thickness so that when the backing sheet is folded over upon itself, the pouch 25 serves as a separator between the end portions, resulting in the end portions lying substantially parallel with respect to one another in fixed spaced apart relationship. This feature again gives rise to the simulation of a conventional book cover with a plurality of pages between the covers.
Referring now in detail to FIGS. 3 and 4, it can be seen that the pouch 25 not only includes a sidewall which is of substantially the thickness of a conventional tape cassette or cartridge, but includes a central elongated depression identified by numeral 32 which is conformal to the general outline or configuration of such a typical cassette or cartridge. Also, a typical cassette or cartridge includes at least one opening such as opening 33' in the cartridge 26 that is occupied by a yieldable projection 33 that downwardly depends from the top panel 31 of the pouch 25. The projection partially extends or projects into the cavity to be occupied by the cassette or cartridge and snap locks with the opening 33' to yieldably hold the cassette or cartridge in place within the pouch 25. Also, it should be noted that for convenience of removal or insertion of the cartridge, a cutout 34 is provided in the top panel 31 within the elongated groove or recess 32. Thus, the user's fingers can easily grasp the cassette or cartridge for insertion or removal. The sidewall 30 terminates in elongated strips, such as strip 35, for ready attachment to the surface of the front sheet 27.
Referring now in detail to FIG. 5, another embodiment of the invention is illustrated wherein a pair of cassettes or cartridge pouches or holders are utilized. One pouch is indicated by numeral 36 while the other is indicated by numeral 37, and it is to be understood that the backing sheet, front sheets and pouches are identical, as previously described. However, in the embodiment of FIG. 5, the pouches 36 and 37 are arranged side by side in fixed spaced apart relationship laterally or transversely across the face of the front sheet 27 so that the entrances leading into the storage cavities of each pouch are entered laterally rather than from the top position as shown in FIG. 2. By this arrangement, a pair of cassettes or tapes representing an extremely long book or dissertation can be stored and accommodated. Orientation of the pouch as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 permit storage of a single cassette or cartridge suitable for a certain length of tape play for a given length of book. The arrangement of pouches in FIG. 5 permits substantially longer book text to be stored on recorded tape and placed within the confines of a single folder or carrier representing the book recorded.
Therefore, in view of the foregoing, it can be seen that the folder or carrier of the present invention simulates a printed book with a plurality of pages between its covers. However, in place of the pages there is the storage pouch for the tape or cassette and the end portions of the folder or carrier are disposed in a typical book cover relationship so that simulation is complete. Likewise, the title of the book represented by the indicia 21 will be displayed through the transparent material on the central strip 22, as well as through the transparent material of the backing sheet forming end portions 14 and 15.
FIGS. 6 and 7 show another version of the invention for accommodating the storage or transport of small compact disc recordings in a folder by itself or with a cassette. The folder is the same as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4; however, the storage envelope defined by the opposing surfaces of the sheets 11 and 26 house a compact disc 50 in a slidable carrier 51. The disc is yieldably retained in a circular recess 52 by a plurality of spring fingers 53 projecting through a central opening 54 in the disc 50. When the carrier 51 is slid out of the envelope, the disc is exposed and the user's finger can be deployed into a notch 55 to effect disc removal.
The distance between fold or score lines 56 and 57 is substantially greater than in the previous version since the thickness of the carrier 51 with or without the thickness of the pouch 25 must be considered. The surrounding shoulder of the carrier 51 defining the recess 52 is sufficiently high to keep the upper surface of the disc from pressing against the undersurface of sheet 26. Such engagement would cause the undesirable effect of frictional sticking of the disc to the sheet.
The carrier slides freely into and out of the envelope through the elongated slit opening 28. Also, pictorial subject matter may be placed in the respective envelopes, as previously described.
While particular embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made without departing from this invention in its broader aspects and, therefore, the aim in the appended claims is to cover all such changes and modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope of this invention.

Our family was invited by the Door County Visitor's Bureau to visit for a few days this summer.
You could easily spend a week in Door County and not finish everything on your bucket list. Door County is a long and narrow Peninsula on the eastern side of the state of Wisconsin. It is about 2.5 hours from Milwaukee and 4.5 hours from Chicago and Minneapolis.
Door County is surrounded by the bright blue waters of Lake Michigan which makes the plethora of beaches, parks, lakeside dining, boat rides and famous lighthouses impossible to miss.
Small towns like Egg Harbor, Sister Bay, Ephraim, and Fish Creek line the roads through the peninsula.
The well manicured towns are filled with vibrant restaurants, churches, art galleries, old fashion ice cream shoppes, boutiques and more.
Inland you will find orchards, lakes, parks, preserves, wineries, farms, golf courses and dreamy little cabins available to rent.
The county is topped off with an island to the north called Washington Island. It is a 20 minute ferry ride and well worth it! We visited a beach and a lavender farm there.
We chose to do activities that we had never done before. Activities that are unique to the Door County region. This area consistently is recognized nationally as a top summer town to visit and it is easy to see why!
First I want to confess that I typically avoid touristy areas during peak season. I love the off-beaten path. I love empty spaces. And I dislike long lines! Well we found out that Door County has plenty of space for everyone! Even during their absolute peak season when nearly all the lodging is full, not one store, orchard, beach or activity had lines or crowds so large that it was a deterrent. The only places I saw with large groups of people were the restaurants at prime eating times… and you'll find that everywhere you go in the world, right? Just make a reservation or come early and enjoy a cocktail!
I would (and WILL) definitely come back to Door County at the exact same time!
We stayed at the lovely Westwood Shores Resort. It was right on the water and our 2 bedroom suite had plenty of space for our family! My kids loved the warm indoor pool.
I cherished my early morning coffee by the bay. You can read full details of our stay at Westwood Shores here.
Westwood Resort is located in Sturgeon Bay so that acted as our base town.
There is so much to do in Sturgeon Bay that you could spend a week just there!
We especially enjoyed the Tall Ship Festival, the restaurants, the parks, cherry orchards, beaches and the shops!
Once every three years the tall ships come into the bay and the town of Sturgeon Bay celebrates. Resorts along the water have live music and specials. This year the Maritime Museum stayed open late. The Sturgeon Bay Visitor Center sold cherry mimosas to toast their departures in the morning. There is a Parade of Sail and other activities.
Some of the ships welcomed visitors. We watched in amazement as folks climbed high up the ropes!
Sunset Park in Sturgeon Bay was a nice spot to watch the tall ships as the sun set.
It is only a short drive to the "other" side of Sturgeon Bay which is the east side of the peninsula on Lake Michigan.
Visiting this bright red lighthouse was a great family outing. We were the only ones there! During one of the busiest weekends of the year you can still find plenty of places and spaces to yourself in Door County!
We also visited the beach at Portage Park which is just north of the red lighthouse.
The sand was great for playing. The boys dug a huge hole and waited for the waves to fill it with water.
The water is bright blue, very cool and instantly refreshing.
We also visited the main street (3rd Avenue) in Sturgeon Bay.
We enjoyed several restaurants and supper clubs! We'd recommend the Inn at Cedar Crossing Restaurant and the Nightingale Supper Club if you're into traditional Wisconsin supper clubs! (We love them!)
Door County Confectionery is a feast for the eyes and belly.
We let our boys pick a souvenir from here. Cy chose chocolate and Arlo chose a stuffed animal.
We also spent parts of our trip exploring the peninsula. On our first night we enjoyed a Fish Boil at Rowley's Bay Resort.
The night begins with a 30 minute "show" where (an actor portraying) Peter Rowley teaches you about the history of the fish boil, the land and the resort.
During the show, fresh whitefish that was caught that day in Lake Michigan is dumped into a boiling caldron alongside potatoes, onions and other ingredients. Afterwards it is served in a buffet alongside other meat options, vegetables and homemade Door County cherry desserts.
There is so much to share about the Fish Boil at Rowley's Bay Resort that I wrote a separate blog posting. You can read it here.
After dinner we headed to the Northern Sky Theater in Fish Creek. It is an outdoor theater in a state park! We brought in a cooler with a few beverages and treats. (Alcohol is not allowed.)
This theater was very family friendly. The shows last an average of an hour and fifteen minutes . We saw a play called "We Like It Where?" The acting was as good as any play I've seen in a large city! I've heard that the theaters in Door County attract a national audience and cast.
Everyone told us to bring bug spray. We did and we used it. However the bugs were not bad at all. They were much more present in the grassy parking lot.
Anyways - add this activity to your list! It was super fun to watch a play outdoors and under the stars. This would be romantic for a date night too.
The next day the boys enjoyed the pools at our resort and then we headed off to Washington Island. We stopped at Door County Ice Cream Factory in Sister Bay for some sandwiches and ice cream along the way.
If you are from Wisconsin then you know already what Blue Moon flavored ice cream is. The flavor has been my favorite since I was very little. It is bright blue and has a wonderful sort of almond-extract flavor that remains a mystery to all of us except those who make it!
Door County Ice Cream Factory serves homemade Blue Moon flavored ice cream… as well as an ice cream flavor called "Fish Boil" that actually looked pretty good! (No fish products except gummy fish are used!)
Visiting Fragrant Isles Lavender Farm was really a dream come true. It is a lavender farm on Washington Island with over 20,000 live lavender plants. They are open to the public seven days a week April through November.
I encourage you to set aside time to take some photos and buy some products, but most importantly just sit and take in the beauty and the smells!
The scent of lavender fills the air. It is truly a feast for your eyes and noses! The shop sells high quality products created using the lavender grown at the farm. You can purchase treats like lavender ice cream and chocolate. I wrote a separate blog on our visit to this magical farm. You can read it here.
We took in the sunset along Egg Harbor as we drove back to Sturgeon Bay that night.
The next day was Arlo's eighth birthday and he chose to go cherry picking!
We headed to Soren's Valhalla Orchard near Sturgeon Bay.
They have two types of cherries that you can pick: Tart and sweet.
The tart cherries (pictured here) are bright red and used for pies and baking.
The sweet cherries (pictured here) are a little darker. You are allowed to eat as many cherries as you like while you pick! That made for some red hands, faces and a lot of laughs! Cherry season is open for a few weeks every year. Usually in late July. We went home with two full buckets of cherries. This is a great all-age activity. We loved this outing so much - I did a separate blog on it. You can read it here.
Finally we wrapped up our time in Door County by picking up some souvenirs. First we stopped at Grandma Tommy's where we bought cherry jam, salsa, homemade salad dressings, a brightly colored tote bag and…
some choice sweets! We chose an apple pie for Grandpa and some fudge for the boys.
Finally, we've decided that Renard's Cheese will always be our go-to last stop in Door County on our way home. Great for sandwiches, hot and cold cheese curds and more edible souvenirs!
Our time in Door County was priceless. It is easy to see why this area is so highly rated. There truly is something for everyone. We will forever cherish our memories of this special trip.
We'd like to say a big thank-you to Door County Visitor's Bureau for inviting us to visit. And a thank you to all the wonderful business owners and employees we met during our time in Door County!
We will be back!

Aquaman villain Black Manta will not be a throwaway villain when he makes his live-action debut in the upcoming DC film.
Aquaman producer Peter Safran revealed that the iconic supervillain will continue to play a large role in DC films after his first appearance this December. The antagonist, played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, was rumored to be set up for a bigger part of DC Films moving forward which Safran confirmed.
RELATED: Aquaman's Momoa Dons Classic Costume In Gorgeous Statue
"We certainly have every intention that Manta plays a very large role in the DC universe," explained Safran in an interview with Cinema Blend. "We give him his origin story in this movie. We do show how Manta, that we see in the comic books, became that character. And we're so fortunate to have this guy, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, to play him."
First created in September 1967 by writer Bob Haney and artist Nick Cardy in the pages of Aquaman #35, the villain went on to become one of Aquaman's most recognizable and personal enemies. Safran's comments indicate Manta will indeed continue to haunt Arthur Curry in future films.
RELATED: Aquaman: Arthur Is Called Home in Latest Motion Poster
"From the early days of developing the screenplay, he's just such a great antagonist and he's such a fan favorite and the response every time people hear that he's in the movie or that it's confirmed that he's in the movie, they're thrilled about it," continued Safran. "We always wanted to give him his storyline and, if Orm is the primary antagonist, then Manta is certainly is a very strong secondary antagonist. There is a connection between Orm and Manta that will be revealed that helps make him a more integral part of the story."
Directed by James Wan, Aquaman stars Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Amber Heard as Mera, Patrick Wilson as Ocean Master, Willem Dafoe as Nuidis Vulko, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Black Manta, Temuera Morrison as Thomas Curry, and Dolph Lundgren as Nereus. The film is scheduled to be released in theaters on December 21.

I thought there might be a point to include books I love on a site that describes my work.
I love reading, or maybe I love the actual physical object of the book, the idea of a book. Even though it might be hard to discover all my work is based in some kind of wish for a story. All these forgotten stories that define us.
There is nothing I admire more, nothing I wish I could do more than make my mind connect and create a captivating story.

BENTON – A home visit with the Cabinet for Families and Children led to the arrest of a Benton couple today after narcotics detectives discovered active meth labs at a local residence.
According to police reports, Marshall County Detective Don Tidwell was called to assist Social Services workers at a residence on Crooked Oak Loop.
While on the porch, Detective Tidwell observed two meth generators. A female subject opened the door and allowed for Detective Tidwell and Social Services to come in.
As Detective Tidwell entered the residence, he observed a strong chemical odor present in the home as well as a male subject and four year-old child located.
Upon further search, Detective Tidwell discovered meth generators, reaction vessels, six bags of liquid meth, coffee filters, pseudo pills, lithium batteries, salt, funnels and Coleman fuel in the bedroom.
The female subject admitted that methamphetamine had been manufactured in the home earlier in the morning.
Fort-two year-old James W. Collins and 38 year-old Christy Jones, both of Benton, were arrested and charged with Manufacturing Meth 1st Degree, Controlled Substance Endangerment to Child, Possession of Controlled Substance 1st Degree and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.
Both Collins and Jones were lodged in the Marshall County Detention Center.

Updated: Mackenzie Foy has officially signed on to star in Breaking Dawn. See below for details.
The cast of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - the two-part finale to the successful franchise - is continuing to grow with the likes of Rami Malek and Lee Pace recently joining established franchise stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner.
Today we're hearing word of not one but two new additions to the Breaking Dawn cast in the form of Maggie Grace (Lost, Taken) and newcomer Mackenzie Foy (Flashforward, 'Till Death). The pair will play a foe and friend (respectively) of Stewart's character, Bella Swan.
First up we have Grace, who is confirmed to have joined Breaking Dawn's extensive cast. She will play Irina, "a member of the Denali coven, considered cousins to the Cullen clan as the only other "vegetarian" vampire group." Fans of the Breaking Dawn book will know that, "when Irina blames the Cullens for the death of her lover, her actions set in motion a terrifying chain of events."
Grace is making a great career for herself, with Lost officially putting her on the map. She'd acted in a few things before that but nothing that gave her the exposure that Lost did. Her first big role post-Lost was in the Liam Neeson thriller Taken (playing Neeson's kidnapped daughter) and she has several more projects in the works, including the Dwayne Johnson action film Faster and a possible sequel to Taken. With her casting in Twilight she can now rest assured she has one of the most popular movie franchises of recent years on her résumé.
The second actress joining Breaking Dawn is 9-year-old Mackenzie Foy who, according to Entertainment Weekly, is "inches away" from signing on to play, [SPOILER ALERT!] "Renesmee, Edward and Bella's vampire/human love child."
Questions have arisen about how Foy will play the character, who ages '17 years in the space of just seven.' Some sources are speculating that director Bill Condon could employ similar technology used in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button to digitally make Foy look younger/older.
Wouldn't it be easier to get several actresses to play Renesmee at different ages? Just a suggestion.
Summit Entertainment and the filmmakers behind Breaking Dawn are remaining secretive about how they plan to have Foy play the character at different ages, but with The Twilight Saga's rabid following, I'm sure it won't stay a secret for very long :-P .
Update: Twilight author Stephanie Meyer announced on Facebook that Mackenzie Foy has officially signed on to star as Renesmee in Breaking Dawn after being "inches away" from joining the cast. Meyer had this to say about the 9-year-old newcomer:
"Very excited about our new Renesmee, Mackenzie Foy... She's an amazing young actress and I'm excited to work with her."
It's still unclear how exactly Summit is going to age Foy the amount that she does in the story but it's still speculated that similar technology to that used in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button will be utilized, as well as other younger and older actresses maybe being hired.
The two-part Breaking Dawn epic is being written by Twilight franchise scribe Melissa Rosenberg, with the series switching up directors once again from Eclipse's David Slade to Bill Condon (Dreamgirls). With the fourth book apparently being a bit more adult than the previous three, I'm hoping for that tone to be transferred faithfully to the big-screen (as much as the PG-13 rating allows).
Part 1 of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn will be released (maybe in 3D, maybe not) on November 18th, 2011 with Part 2 following almost exactly a year later on November 16th, 2012.

Customer Identity (RaaS) is Gigya's end-to-end user management system. The following sections give instructions for using RaaS within your Drupal site.
Note that enabling Gigya RaaS will override Drupal's user management system. See the Drupal Configuration section below for more information.
Guide to Implementing RaaS
After installing the module (see Drupal 7 main page), you are ready to set up Gigya RaaS in your site.
To implement RaaS, complete the following steps:
1. (Optional)
4. (Optional)
1. (Optional) Migrate User Data
If you are already using Drupal user management, as a first step, you will need to migrate your Drupal user DB to RaaS. Please contact your Gigya Customer Engagement Executive to perform this migration.
2. Configure RaaS in Gigya
Before you can use Gigya RaaS with Drupal:
- Make sure that RaaS is enabled for your site: RaaS is a premium package that requires separate activation. If it is not part of your site package please contact your Gigya Customer Engagement Executive.
- Set Email to be the Primary User Identifier: Email is the required user identifier for a Drupal site by default. To configure your Gigya account appropriately:
- Log into the Gigya Admin Console, go to the Settings page for your site, select Registration-as-a-Service and select Policies or click here.
- Set Login Identifier to Email. This will make sure that Email is your site's unique login identifier (for more information on this setting see here).
- Set Link Accounts Support to All identities. This ensures email uniqueness: if any account in the system uses an email address that has been entered by the user as a login identifier, the user is prompted to link the social network to that account. Note: If your site was created before Feb 2015, upgrade your screen-sets in the Gigya console.
- Select the Enable retrieving email addresses permission in the Permissions page in the console: This permission is required in order to get the user's email as he registers using a social network. This permission is not checked by default.
Edit your screen-sets to remove the Create new account link from the Link Account screen: Since Drupal requires a unique email per account, clicking this link would lead to an error, because it allows creating a second account with the same email.
Go to the Screen-sets page in the Gigya console.
Locate the Default-LinkAccounts screen-set and click its UI Builder link.
In the UI Builder window's Screens list (on the left), select the Link Account screen.
Locate the To create new account, click here at the bottom of the screen (see screenshot), and erase it by clicking the X next to it.
Click the Save Button.
Edit your screen-sets to mark Email as a required field when completing registration: Even though you have specified that Email is the primary user identifier, it may not appear as a required field in the registration dialogs. To make sure, do the following:
Go to the Screen-sets page in the Gigya console.
Locate the Default-RegistrationLogin screen-set and click its UI Builder link.
Go to the Registration Completion screen.
Click on the Email text box in the design canvas to open its settings.
Select the Required checkbox (see screenshot below). A red asterisk should appear next to the Email label to mark it as a required field.
Click the Save button and close the UI Builder window.
Optional (recommended) - add a required and unique username field to RaaS: Drupal requires a unique username field. By default the module sets the username field in Drupal to be the user's email address. To promote privacy and enable users to define their own usernames, follow the instructions in Adding a Unique Required Username Field .
3. Configure Drupal for RaaS
To set up RaaS in Drupal, do the following:
- Make sure you have downloaded and installed the latest Gigya module for Drupal.
- In the Global Settings of the Gigya module (Administration > Configuration > Web services > Gigya Settings > Global Settings), make sure that the Gigya API Key field contains the key of a RaaS-enabled site.
- Go to the User Management settings of the Gigya module (Administration >Configuration >Web services >Gigya Settings > User Management) and select the Registration-as-a-Service radio button.
Make sure that the screen-set IDs defined in your integration's settings match the screen-set IDs defined for your site in the Screen-Sets page in the Gigya console.
- If your site was set up with Gigya after October 26, 2015, it will not be using any mobile-specific screen-sets for RaaS. In the integration settings, you should remove the mobile screen-set names (leave those fields empty).
- If your site was set up with Gigya before September 2014, it will be using older screen-set names.
See Default Screen-Sets for more information.
- Hide Drupal's default User Login block and show Gigya RaaS links instead:
- In Drupal, go to Administration > Structure > Blocks. Find the User Login block, and change the region to None.
- Make sure that Gigya login block is also hidden.
- Find the Gigya RaaS links block and select your preferred region. Our suggestion is to select the Header region, as shown below:
- Optional (Recommended): Make sure that visitors can't register for accounts directly through Drupal. Go to Administration > Configuration > People and make sure that the Administrators only radio button is selected under Who can register accounts? The reason for this is that actions performed directly through the Drupal user management are not synched with the Gigya database.
- If you wish to hide user's Email addresses and use a username as a unique identifier, go to the Raas configuration panel under administration. From the Map Drupal username field drop-down, select RaaS username field . Make sure to set the username as a required field in Gigya's database, as explained in the Gigya configuration section.
Note on views: Working with user profile information within views is not supported.
4. (Optional) Customize RaaS Settings
The following settings are displayed for RaaS.
Make sure that the screen-set IDs defined in your integration's settings match the screen-set IDs defined for your site in the Screen-Sets page in the Gigya console.
- If your site was set up with Gigya after October 26, 2015, it will not be using any mobile-specific screen-sets for RaaS. In the integration settings, you should remove the mobile screen-set names (leave those fields empty).
- If your site was set up with Gigya before September 2014, it will be using older screen-set names.
See Default Screen-Sets for more information.

|Map Drupal username field
|RaaS email address
Options are RaaS email address and RaaS username field.
Drupal requires a unique username field. By default the module sets the field with the user's email. If you select RaaS username field, the Drupal username field will be set with the user's RaaS username. When selecting this option please make sure to define the username field in RaaS to be required and unique. Learn more in Adding a Unique Required Username Field.
|Mapping RaaS Fields to Drupal Fields
|Gigya provides the ability to push user data fields from RaaS to Drupal, by mapping corresponding fields from Gigya (source) to Drupal (target). Read more in Updating Profile Data from Gigya to Drupal.
Enabling Registration-as-a-Service activates Gigya's complete user management feature. After completing configuration of RaaS, as explained in the Gigya configuration section, the standard Drupal login link will no longer appear. The RaaS login | register links will appear instead (assuming you have enabled the Gigya RaaS links block). Clicking them will open the RaaS login/register pop-up screen (see example below) to allow users to login/register using RaaS.
- To access the Drupal dashboard after activating Gigya's RaaS enter /user after your site's URL, as in http://www.example.com/user
- If you use Gigya RaaS, you will not be able to remove user accounts through the Drupal dashboard (user accounts that you delete through the Drupal dashboard will not be removed from the RaaS database).
Setting Up Field Mapping
The Gigya module supports pushing data from RaaS user fields into Drupal user entity. Among other things, this data may be used by the Acquia Lift service, which can be used by Drupal websites to target specific content to the most relevant website visitors and provide a personal and contextualized user experience.
Site administrators can define mapping between Gigya account fields and Drupal fields.
You can import data into Drupal's built-in user entity fields, or create new custom fields and populate them by mapping from the fields in RaaS. The Gigya module can also populate native fields from the Profile2 module.
Once mapped, the Drupal fields will be populated and updated from the corresponding RaaS fields each time:
- User registers/logs in.
- User updates their profile (using RaaS update profile screen)
- It is not mandatory to map Gigya's UID field to a Drupal field, but recommended. Mapping the UID enables using this field in Drupal reports and when working with 3rd party platforms (e.g., Lift).
- Gigya stores the UID field in a table called gigya_ids, for the purpose of session management. This has no relation to the field mapping you define.
To map fields:
- In the Drupal administration panel, go to Administration > Configuration > Web services > Gigya Settings > User Management.
- Expand the Mapping RaaS Fields to Drupal Fields section.
- To map a pair:
In the Source (RaaS) dropdown list, select a Gigya field.
The Gigya fields in the Source (RaaS) dropdown list are divided into three categories, based on the way Gigya stores different types of user information:
- Account - general data about the Gigya user account. Currently, this category includes the UID field.
- Profile - personal user data fields such as first and last name, age, address etc. See the Profile object documentation for more information.
- Data - custom fields.
In the Target (Drupal) dropdown list, select the corresponding field in Drupal.
In Drupal, the name (username), email, user ID and Status fields can not be populated or modified after registration, hence they will not appear in the Target (Drupal) dropdown list.
Select Add. The new mapping is added to the Mapped Fields table in the same section.
When you are done mapping all the fields you need, select Save Configuration.
To remove a mapping:
- In the Mapped Fields table, select the checkbox next to the pair(s) you want to remove.
- Select the Save configuration button.
Once you have mapped RaaS fields to corresponding Drupal Fields, you can configure the Acquia Lift Drupal Module to personalize your website and dynamically provide contextualized content according to the values passed in to Drupal from the RaaS fields. This means you can run campaigns with personalized content based on fields like age, gender, zip code or any other field that maps from the RaaS to a Drupal field.
For more information on how to create campaigns with personalized content and more, please refer to the Acquia Lift documentation.
Supported Data Types and Data Type Conversion
Field values from Gigya will be converted into the data type set for the field in Drupal.
Supported Drupal data types:
- int
- string
- bool
- Date (unix timestamp)
- Date (ISO Format)
Note: The Drupal field type "date" is not supported for conversion. Values from Gigya can be synchronized into this type of field as simple strings.
Date/time values from Gigya are in the UTC 0 timezone and will be synchronized to Drupal as such. Drupal will display these values according to the system timezone settings.
Creating Custom Fields in Drupal
In order to create new custom fields in Drupal, go to Configuration > People > Account Settings and click on the Manage Fields tab in the top right side of your screen. Now all you have to do is go to the Add new field row, name the field you wish to create, and select a type for it. For example, if I want to map the user's physical address, I will name the field Address and give it a type of text to match the it's corresponding type in Gigya (String). Go to the profile object page to view a list of RaaS profile fields and their data types.
Once you are done, click Save to save the newly created fields.
Mapping Profile Image (Avatar)
Importing users' profile images to Drupal requires you to create a new user entity field and map it to the user's photo URL field in RaaS. You shouldn't map Drupal's default avatar field, since this field is designed to hold a pointer to an image in Drupal file system, while RaaS's profile.photoURL field hold a URL to the user's profile image. Follow the steps explained in the Drupal field creation section to create a new text field in Drupal that will hold the user's profile picture URL. Lets say your new field is called field_profile_image_url. Map RaaS's profile.photoURL field to your newly created field_profile_image_url field as explained in the Mapping RaaS Fields to Drupal Fields section. This will make sure that the field_profile_image_url field will hold the user's profile picture URL. Now you can use this field throughout your site to display the user image.
Setting Up Admin Users, Roles and Permissions
RaaS provides a user management system but does not manage user roles and permissions.
Therefore, site admins should:
- Log in via native Drupal login at domain.com/user.
- Manage user roles and permissions via the Drupal admin console at (Administration > People).
- When logging in via domain.com/user, the login is not synchronized with RaaS. From Gigya's perspective, the admin user is not logged into the site.
- If an admin adds/removes/edits a user via the Drupal admin console, these changes are not synchronized with Gigya.
Enabling Native Drupal Login for Privileged Users
Immediately after you enable Gigya RaaS, only the main site admin will be able log in through the native Drupal login (domain.com/user).
To enable any other user to log in via native Drupal login, that user has to be granted a special permission. In addition, if that user has registered through RaaS, they have to be given a Drupal password.
The process is as follows:
- The user registers to the site through RaaS.
- The admin goes to Administration > People > Permissions and enables the Bypass Registation-as-a-Service permission for a desired role group, e.g. for Administrators.
- The admin goes to Administration > People, finds the new user and grants them a role that has the Bypass Registration-as-a-Service permission.
- The admin also enters a password for the user.
- The user can then go to domain.com/user and log in with the username and password that have been set by the admin.
Advanced Customization
Embedding RaaS Screen-Sets within a Page
By default, Gigya's RaaS screen-sets are designed to be popup dialogs.
If you wish to embed them within a page, do the following:
- Add a RaaS block to the area of your choice.
In /admin/structure/block you may find the following Gigya blocks:
- Gigya embedded RaaS login screen
- Gigya embedded RaaS registration screen
- Gigya embedded RaaS profile screen
- Remove the Gigya RaaS links block from the header.
Customizing the RaaS links
To customize the look and feel of the Gigya RaaS links, you may use the following CSS classes:
- gigya-raas-login - to customize the login link
- gigya-raas-reg - to customize the registration link
- gigya-raas-prof - to customize the profile link
For example, the following link opens the login screen when it is clicked :
Sign-in
Adding a Unique Required Username Field
To enable users to define their own usernames, thus promoting privacy, do the following:
In the Gigya system, add a username text field to your Registration and Registration Completion RaaS screens:
- Log into the Gigya Admin Console and go to the Screen-sets page.
- Locate the Default-RegistrationLogin screen-set and click its UI Builder link.
- In the UI Builder window's Screens list (on the left), select the Registration screen.
- Drag a new textbox into the screen (from the Controls on the bottom left).
- Click on the textbox to select it. Its details will appear on the right under Properties (see image).
- Change the Mapped Field to Special Fields > username; change the Label to Username. Tip: the field is actually mapped to profile.username, but the Special Field identifies it as a login ID.
- Repeat the stage 3 procedure in the Registration Completion screen.
- Select the Save button.
Make sure that the screen-set IDs defined in your integration's settings match the screen-set IDs defined for your site in the Screen-Sets page in the Gigya console.
- If your site was set up with Gigya after October 26, 2015, it will not be using any mobile-specific screen-sets for RaaS. In the integration settings, you should remove the mobile screen-set names (leave those fields empty).
- If your site was set up with Gigya before September 2014, it will be using older screen-set names.
See Default Screen-Sets for more information.
In the Drupal configuration, in the Registration-as-a-Service Settings, set the Map Drupal username field to RaaS username field.
Connectivity between RaaS fields and Drupal tokens
You may define Drupal tokens that extract their values from RaaS fields
To add tokens that extract their values from RaaS custom data fields use the hook_gigya_tokens_alter (see the definition in gigya.api.php). For example:
function my_module_gigya_tokens_alter(&$replacements, $tokens, $gigya_user_info) { //When using RaaS you would have the custom data fields under data $replacements['[gigya:subscribe]'] = $gigya_info['data']['subscribe']; }

Unexpected van maintenance costs of $8000 in the first half of 1991 prompted the Committee to consider alternatives, and a Walk Transport Subcommittee was set up. Among the issues to he considered were:
- the van's increasing age, and thus the probability of having to perform major mechanical work
- the poor economics of using a vehicle only one day a week, and this infrequent use causing mechanical problems
- the problem of finding somewhere safe and accessible to garage the van for a reasonable cost, given that the owner of the presently used site had recently asked us to find somewhere else
- the knowledge that to replace the van in the future would mean a very large financial commitment for the Club, even though a reserve fund was being accumulated
- the possibility that at some time in the future the van's lengthways bench seating would no longer be permitted for safety reasons
- the possibility that the greater speed of a bus would allow walks to be held in areas further from Melbourne, or that walks in existing areas could finish later
- the improved seating comfort of a bus, even though the van seating provided a more sociable atmosphere
The Subcommittee requested quotes from nine bus operators for regular Sunday trips averaging 250 kilometres, and after examining the quotes, looked at three in detail, including visiting the operator's premises. The eventual recommendation was that a one-month's trial be carried out, using a Peninsula Bus Lines bus for all day walks, to determine members' and visitors' reactions. If the results were favourable, then a 12-month fixed-price contract would be entered into, and the van sold. The trials with a hired bus came to a head when after much heated discussion, a motion was put to members at the Annual General Meeting of 26 February 1992: 'That the Club retains and operates the van until a serious breakdown occurs which is uneconomic to repair and then alternative arrangements be made by the committee'. This motion was carried. An Extraordinary General Meeting was called and held on 29 April. The motion 'That the Club sell the Bedford van and that a chartered bus be used for Sunday walks' was narrowly carried. This wasn't quite the end of the story however, as sufficient members gathered together for a last stand and called for yet another Extraordinary General Meeting. This was held on 10 June when the motion 'That the Club retain and use the Bedford van for Sunday walks' was soundly

E Kazakhstan governor promises to help a father of 18 children
SEMEY. KAZINFORM - A man raising 18 children asked to help him obtain a land plot for the construction of a house and a van during a reception with Governor of East Kazakhstan region Danial Akhmetov, Kazinform reports.
Viktor Kandyba, a resident of Semey town, is 51 years old. There are 18 children in his family: 13 boys and 5 girls. Now the youngest child is 3 years old, while the oldest is 26. The father of a large family is a household appliance repairman, and his wife Olga is a housewife. One of the sons is a beekeeper, another is a builder.
The children need to have their own apartments.
To transport such a large family you need a van, and to build an independent life of children you need to get apartments.
"We live in a single-family home. We cannot afford an apartment for each child, so I would like to know if it is possible to allocate a plot of land for us. The children will be able to build their houses next to each other," Viktor Kandyba said.
Head of the region Danial Akhmetov pointed out that this is a unique case, and people like Viktor Kandyba are the national pride of our country.
"We will help you. Within a month, we will resolve the issue of acquiring a van. Through "Paryz" Charity Fund, we will buy a van for you in Semey. I will decide on the land for the construction together with you. We will do everything possible so that this could not be placed on hold," Akhmetov promised.
At the end of the meeting, the Governor of the region instructed Mayor of Semey Yermak Salimov and Head of the Land Relations Department Viktoriya Barsukova to make proposals regarding the settlement of this issue within a week.

Steve Kinniburgh is determined to give the Corby Town fans something to shout about in the final Saturday fixture at Steel Park this season.
The Steelmen secured a top-three finish and a home play-off semi-final in the Evo-Stik League South Division One Central thanks to a 2-1 victory at Aylesbury United last weekend.
Their penultimate home match of the regular campaign sees them taking on Welwyn Garden City while their last game of the season at Steel Park will be against Yaxley on Easter Monday while the play-off semi-final will be on Wednesday, May 1.
Boss Kinniburgh knows his team must maintain their momentum in the last two weeks of the season as they bid to keep their points-per-game ratio at the right level to ensure they can be promoted should they win the play-offs.
But his big aim for this weekend is to ensure the supporters are treated to another good result as Corby seek a third win in a row.
"We have still got to keep an eye on the points per game ratio to ensure we can go up if we are successful in the play-offs," the Steelmen manager said.
"But the most important thing about this weekend is that it is our last Saturday game at Steel Park this season.
"We have the game on Easter Monday and we will have the play-offs in the midweek after the regular season has finished.
"But with it being our last Saturday home match, we hope there will be a few people coming out to watch us.
"We want to finish this season on a high and we want to make sure those who come along at the weekend see a good performance and result."
The Steelmen sealed the victory at Aylesbury United without Northampton Town youngsters Jack Newell and Camron McWilliams, who both missed out due to injury.
But Kinniburgh is hoping the duo, who are on loan with Corby until the end of the season, will be back in the frame this weekend.
"We hope to have the two boys available again," he added.
"We will get some feedback at the end of the week about how they are doing but we are quite hopeful that we can get them back into the squad.
"But we have to wait and see. It's Northampton's call and we will take the advice of their physios."
