About I Didn't Do It
Disney Channel's upcoming buddy-comedy "I Didn't Do It" follows fraternal twin sister and brother Lindy and Logan who, along with their three best friends, Jasmine, Garrett and Delia – take on their freshman year of high school together, one outrageous adventure after another. Each episode begins with the close-knit group in the midst of an insane occurrence; something incredible, something so comically absurd, it has them trying to explain away the craziness. Through a series of flashbacks, the five best friends recount the various and sometimes random moments leading up to their present predicament.
Series Premieres on The Disney Channel January 17th!

2.1. Installing the application.
2.2.11. Custom quesstions and answers (Quiz, Trivia, Tests...).
2.2.14. Validation of coupons/codes.
2.2.18. Make your campaign go viral.
1. Introduction.
Our Cool Promo White Label application is the most powerful in our 'Cool Promo' series. It provides you with a comprehensive platform for creating campaigns on social networks. You can read about all of its features on the page about the application.
In this tutorial we will explain how to create a campaign that users can participate with their Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn or Google+ accounts and, moreover, that is published on a Facebook tab.
2. Step by step.
2.1. Installing the application.
To install this application, you have to go to "Your content" section and click on "Create content".
Select the "Applications" option and select Cool Promo White Label.
2.2. Creation form.
2.2.1. Campaign login.
Let's start creating our first campaign. The first thing to choose the social networks through which users can access your competition. That is, whether users can participate in campaigns with their Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Google+ and/or LinkedIn accounts. In this case: You can choose one, some or all of them, depending on the type of campaign you have in mind. In this case we will select all:
Your users can also access anonimously if you choose that option.
2.2.2. Basic information.
The first section for creating a campaign that will be published on a Facebook tab contains essential fields:
- Name: This name that won't be seen by end users and will only be used in your administration section so that you can easily identify the campaign (Example:Christmas campaign for the shop).
- Tab name that will have in Facebook: It will be used as the tab name displayed on your Facebook. You can change it at any time, both from this section and from the Administration section of your Facebook page.
Where do you want users to access by clicking on the URL of your campaign? It sets a target of the url we provide you from Cool Tabs. You can choose among:
- Microsite: This is the option by default.
- Your Facebook page tab.
- An external URL: When you publish your campaign in your web or blog.
Campaign language:
The generic texts of your campaign are displayed by default in the language that the participant has configured on his/her computer, but you can choose to display it in the following languages: Spanish, Catalan, Basque, Galician, English, French, Italian, German, Bulgarian, Portuguese, Romanian or Russian.
Password-protected campaign: This option allows you to restrict the campaign to users to whom you provide the code that you specify in this field. What are password-protected campaign used for? Check it out on this post: "Password-protected competitions and campaigns".
2.2.3. Campaign design:
This section is where the creative part of your campaign is configured. Here are your options:
- Title for the campaign: The name shown to users that visit your campaign.
- Campaign description: You can include some text to outline your campaign. It should be explanatory enough for users to understand how the campaign works. Thanks to our editor, you can give styles (font colors, size, etc.) to your text (it is not mandatory, because we already give styles to the text that you include to make them look good). In addition to text, you can add images or, if you have the knowledge, HTML too.
- Main image: The image that you use to present the campaign will be visible to all users.
- Campaign video: You can include the URL of a video you want to use to present you campaign in this field. It can be a URL from Youtube, Vimeo, Flickr, etc. This material is optional, but if you include a video in your campaign, keep in mind that it is the first thing that will be shown, unless you modify its placement using your own CSS.
- Use your own complete HTML for the landing/registration page (only for White Label campaigns). The main page and the participation form contain several default elements that you can modify or hide.
- Enable custom header for the entry form. You can add text, images or HTML that will be shown in the form header.
- Enable custom header for the entry form (personal data page in quizzes). You can add text, images or HTML that will be shown in the form header.
- Enable custom header for the entries page. You can add text, images or HTML that will be shown in the header of the participants list and the individual participant.
- Show a different content before the campaign begins.
- Show a different content after the campaign ends.
- Display custom content in the campaign winners page.
- Use your own complete HTML for the winners page (only for White Label campaigns).
To complete the personalisation of our campaign, we set the default styles with a default background image and one of our custom themes, or use our own styles by customising all of the elements of our competition. To do this, we only need to activate the 'custom CSS' option and have some basic knowledge of CSS to be able to completely customise the campaign. Remember it is not necessary to include the tags here.
If you need help with custom CSS, check this tutorial: Advanced Personalization For Your Campaign >>
2.2.4. Campaign dates.
We configure the dates related to the campaign in this section of the form:
- Time zone: You need to select the time zone in which you want the competition to be conducted. It is important to take care when setting your time zone because all of the dates that you are to specify below will be set in that time zone. If you make a mistake, you can modify it at any time.
- Campaign start date: The date from which your campaign will be visible on your fan page. If you have already installed the Cool Promo White Label application on your page (i.e., a new tab already appears in the Applications section), but your campaign has not yet started, we will show a generic message that says 'No active campaigns' (unless you've chosen other text or images to use before the start of the campaign).
- Campaign end date: The date from which your campaign will no longer be visible on your fan page. After this date, we show a generic message like the previous one, indicating that there are 'No active campaigns'. It is important to be careful when setting this date because once the campaign has ended, you may not modify it.
2.2.5. Participations.
In this section, you can configure the dates and other details regarding entries:
- Entries start date: Date from which users can start participating in the competition. Before this date, the 'Enter' button will not be shown on your campaign.
- Entries end date: Date from which users can no longer participate in the competition. After this date, the 'Enter' button will not be shown on your campaign.
- Enable public participation: All users can see who has participated. For competitions in which users need to vote on entries, this option must be enabled. This allows there to be a ranking of the participants with the most points or those with the most referrals. If this option is enabled, there will be a link to access the list of all entries so far on the campaign's main page. For each entry, the avatar and name of the user who has participated will be shown, as well as the text/image/video corresponding to their entry.
When you enable this, you have the option to set up the order of the participants in the public page by date, number of referrals, votes, quiz or virality score. If you don't specify anything, by default, it will be sorted in reverse chronological order (the former participants at the end). In addition, you can choose if you want to show links in another way.
Photos and video competitions.
- Enable images gallery: This images gallery is used exclusively for photos and video contests with the idea of not showing the standard list of all entries one below each other. You will be able to choose the gallery has one, two or three columns.
- Enable moderation of entries: Enabling this option means that all entries will need to be reviewed by an administrator before they become part of the final list of participants. This is controlled through the participant administration panel in Cool Tabs.
- Block "prize-hunters" users: This option means that entries from participants who have been identified as fraudulent users through other competitions will be marked as pending moderation (even if the above option is no activated).
- Receive an email for each "prize-hunter" entry blocked: The administrator will receive an email notifying them of the entry and they can the decide whether or not to approve it. There is more information about our fraud control system here.
- Show the current number of participations: Enabling this option means that the total number of entries will be shown to all users in the "Details" section of the main page of the campaign.
- Choose how many times each user can participate in the campaign:
- Each user can only enter once: The most common option for campaigns and competitions.
- Users can enter as many times as they like: Unlimited entries.
- Users may participate once or several times in the time period that you define: If you choose this option, you must then define how many hours each phase of your competition lasts (1 day = 24 hours, 1 week = 168 hours, etc.) and the number of times it is possible to participate in each phase.
- Automatic selection of random winners: You can decide whether or not you want winners to be selected automatically. If you decide to go for this option, you won't need to access Cool Tabs and do it manually. Instead, if you tick this box, the application will automatically do it for you at the end of every stage (if you have created a competition with stages) or at the end of the competition.
- Participation from the following countries only: A way to limit your campaign to your country or a group of countries for this particular campaign or competition. This option is part of Cool Tabs' new anti-fraud system.
2.2.6. Final screen after the user fills the form.
- Standard message to all participants. This message will be shown to all participants who don't receive a custom message depending on socre, personality test or Instant Win.
- Message based on quiz results (quizzes with points or personality test) or based on the validation code used by the user. In quizzes with points, you can assign a message after participating according to the score obtained by the user. In personality tests, you can assign a message according to most answers chosen by the participant. If you want to calidate codes, you can assign a different message from each (or some) code.
- Assign a file that will be downloadable after participate. After participation, the user will be able to download this file. You can use this to delive coupon codes (the same for all the users), ebooks, etc.
2.2.7. Instant Wins configuration.
- Automatic selection of with Instant Wins. Each participant will know immediately if s/he has won or not. The application will choose only one random winner throughout each stage of the campaign. Do not forget to fill in the field "Custom message for users who have won an Instant Win" in the section "Campaign design".
2.2.9. Dates and configuration of votes and comments
- Enable voting for entries: Activate the voting system for the entries in your competition. Users can view the entries and vote just once per entry. Do not forget to enable public participation in the previous section.
- Voting start date: Date from which users can vote on entries.
- Users must provide their email address to be able to vote: This option should be enabled when you want to collect the email addresses of people who vote in the competition. If you are creating a campaign based exclusively on votes (entries are closed and it is the administrator who has created a list of 4 or 5 entries for fans to decide which is the best by voting for them), you will be interested in collecting the email addresses of people who vote to be able to contact them when the winner is chosen. When the user installs the Facebook application to vote, they will be asked to grant permission to access their email address. It is an automatic process and the user will never have to manually enter their email address.
- Limit the number of times a user can vote through the campaign: If you do not enter anything in this field, the default is that users may vote only once for each of the entries in the competition. However, if you are running a "choose your favourite" campaign where users participate by voting, you can use this field to indicate that they can only vote once or as many times as you need, depending on how your competition is set up.
- Show to all users who has voted for each entry in the competition (their avatar and name will be displayed): If this option is enabled, the users that voted for each entry will be shown on the individual page of each entry (not in the list of entries). Only the Facebook avatar and user name will be displayed.
- Voting from the following countries only: A way to limit your campaign to your country or a group of countries for this particular campaign or competition. If you have restricted entries, we also give you the option to restrict the voting. It is part of the Cool Tabs' new anti-fraud system.
- Block voters from possible vote exchange networks: Thanks to a database we have developed monitoring all competitions created with our applications, we know what users could belong to exchange networks.So if you enable this option, when these users try to vote, the message of "invalid vote" will appear. Also you can see which participants are receiving votes of this type, so you know if they have tried to make use of networks for exchanging votes to win.
- Blocking fraudulent votes: This option means that voters that have been identified as fraudulent cannot vote. It appears as invalid. There is more information about our fraud control system here.
- Minutes to block votes from the same IP address: If you complete this field, users cannot vote from the same IP address until the number of minutes indicated has elapsed. As we indicate on the form, many offices, universities, etc. use the same IP addresses, so if you decide to block votes from the same IP address, it is recommended that it is only for 5-10 minutes.
- Allow comments on the entries: It is a good alternative for ranking by points competitions, as you can give points for receiving comments on your entry. It is also a way of getting feedback from users about different entries. Comments are active for the same date range that has been set for votes.
- Allow a user to make more than one comment on the same entry: It can help to generate dialogue between different users. However, if we give each entry points for every comment received, it could result in an infinite number of comments with no other purpose than to gain points, so we need to think about the best setup to use.
2.2.10. Virality score.
This section is key for a ranking by points competition or for any competition where the score is one of the considerations for deciding the winner. To earn points, the participant has to perform a series of viral actions that will help increase the visibility of the brand on Facebook.
2.2.11. Entry form configuration.
Now is when we set up the form that users need to complete to take part in our campaign. Depending on how we set up this form, we can create competitions to have questions/answers, photos, videos, etc. The basic form always includes three mandatory fields: First name, surname(s) and email address.
Personal Data.
- The user must input their birthday to participate: Activate this field if you want users to fill in their birthday to take part in the competition. Remember that if it is enabled, it will be mandatory for users to enter these details.
- The user must input their identification document details to participate: If you need participants to provide identification document details, you should activate this field.
- The user must input their telephone number to participate: Enable this field if you want the form to include a field for users to enter their telephone number. If it is activated, it is mandatory to complete the field to participate.
- The user must input their gender to participate: Enable this field if you want the form to include a field for users to enter their gender (Male/Female). If it is activated, it is mandatory to complete the field to participate.
- The user must input their postal address to participate: This is very useful for sending the prize or to send any advertising to participants through the post, as long as you specify this in the terms and conditions.
- The user must input their postal code to participate: This is very useful to know the location of the participants.
- The user must input their country to participate: Enable this field if you want the form to include a field for users to enter their country. If it is activated, it is mandatory to complete the field to participate.
- The user must input their region to participate: Enable this field if you want the form to include a field for users to enter their region. If it is activated, it is mandatory to complete the field to participate.
- Activate a drop-down menu with Spanish cities: Enable this option if you want the city field to be a drop-down list of Spanish provincial capital cities instead of a free text field.
- The user must input their city to participate: Enable this field if you want the form to include a field for users to enter their city. If it is activated, it is mandatory to complete the field to participate.
Question/Answer competition.
- A question must be answered to take part: Enable a question in the entry form that users need to answer if they want to take part in your competition.
- Text, question or comments to complete: If you want users to participate by answering a question or providing a text, you need to indicate here what it is that they need to provide (Example: "What were your best ever holidays?").
- Display a Word text field: This option is useful to allow users to add longer texts. This field is only available for this application and is especially useful for competitions involving stories, recipes, etc.
- The title or question that you want to appear above this extra text box: We need to specify exactly how we want to use this extra text field (Example: "Add your recipe here").
Photos competition.
- An image must be uploaded to take part: Enable images in entries so that users can take part by uploading a picture.
- Title for the image: It is the text that users will see in the form to prompt them to upload the image (Example: "Upload your best birthday photo").
- Is it mandatory to upload the image to take part? If you enable this option, it is mandatory to upload an image to take part in the competition.
- Users can upload multiple images at the same time: Participants can choose multiple images when they click on the Browse button and participate with multiple images. The selected images will be attached to the entry form.
Video Competition.
- A video must be uploaded to take part: Enable videos in entries so that users can take part by including the URL of a video (Youtube, Vimeo, Flickr, etc.).
- Title for the video: It is the text that users will see in the form to prompt them to upload the video (Example: "Add the URL of your best birthday video").
- Is it mandatory to upload the video to take part? If you enable this option, it is mandatory to upload a video to take part in the competition.
Other options.
- Enable additional checkbox on the entry form: This option is ideal for encouraging users to subscribe to your newsletter or for them to allow you to send them campaigns or offers, etc.
- Opt-in checkbox: Enter a title for the extra checkbox on the entry form. (Example: "I wish to receive emails with offers and campaigns").
- Mandatory to accept the additional checkbox: If you activate this option, users will have to accept this additional checkbox to take part.
- Time limit to complete the form: Do you want to give participants a time limit to answer questions that you ask them? In this field, you can include the maximum amount of time (in seconds) that people will have to complete the form. If they take longer than the specified time, their entry will be marked as pending moderation for you to later decide whether to approve it or not. If the participant closes the window and tries again later, they cannot participate if the maximum amount of time has already elapsed. This way you limit users being able to go and find the answers and make them have to answer within the time given.
- Enable custom header for the entry form: You can include text, an image or a video with HTML at top of the entry form that you have just set up.
2.2.12. Custom quesstions and answers (Quiz, Trivia, Tests...).
This section is for including several personalised questions in your competition. The questionnaire can be organised in a variety of ways depending on each campaign: There can be random questions for each participant, or it can be a series of questions scheduled for certain dates, points given for answering correctly or dividing the answers into categories.
Here we explain what options you have for a quiz, survey or series of questions in your competition:
- Display every quizz questions on a single page: If you check this option, the entry form and the questions you set in these section will be displayed on a single page. If you do not check it, the questions will be displayed one on each page, with buttons to continue to the next question.
- Show users' responses to all: Enabling this option means that responses marked as 'public' will be shown to everyone. It is usual that responses where creativity or participant opinion is required are made public, but not those that involve answering something correctly.
- Give points for each correct answer in the questionnaire: This option allows you to assign different scores to each question answered correctly.
- Show own score to participants: Participants can see the total number of points that they have in your questionnaire.
- Show scores publicly: If you enable this option, any user can see the scores of any participant.
- Number of random questions: This way, you can select a set of questions and decide how many of them will be asked to each participant. The application will randomly select the number of questions you wish. This will allow you to create a different participation quiz for each participant in the competition.
- Autofill previous answer to quizz questions. In campaigns where multi-participation is enabled, the answers given by the users to the quizz questions will be automatically copied based on their previous participation.
Each question may or may not include a picture and it may or not be mandatory to answer.
- It is mandatory to answer this question: If you activate these checkboxes, it will become a prerequisite to answer the question to complete the entry. If you don't activate them, users can submit their entry without responding.
- Answers to this question will be public (visible to everyone): You can decide whether each response will be made visible to everyone or not, since there may be information that you do not want to be visible to everyone (for example, personal details, or the correct answer to a question that is asked of all entrants).
- Show this question on the form between certain dates only: If you are creating a competition that is to be split into phases or if you just want certain questions to appear only on the entry form on certain dates, you can configure that in this section.
- Give points for answering this question correctly: If the question you are setting has one correct answer, you can assign a score to respond properly. The score may be different for each question by value or difficulty.
There are five types of answer (all of which can be either public or only visible to the campaign administrator and "Answer chosen from various options" and "Multiple answers" can include text and/or images):
- Text written by the participant.
- Answer chosen from various options.
- Answer from drop-down list.
- Multiple answers (the user can choose one or more answers).
- Stars rating from 1 to 10.
- Type of response: This option allows you to sort the responses into categories. This means that if a participant chooses more responses from type A, we could show them a message after they send their entry that is different to the message that we show to participants that have given more type B, C or D responses. This custom message for each category can be set in the "Campaign design" section.
- Is it a correct answer to the question? You can indicate what is or are the correct answers for each question, except for the text written by the participant. This is because there is no correct answer due to there being the freedom to respond in many different ways. If this option is chosen, the user will know whether or not they have answered correctly and the competition administrator can also see it in the participant report. Moreover, you can display a different message to those participants who have successfully answered the questions facing those who have not. The participants who have answered everything right will see the "Personalised message for thoseparticipants that correctly answered the question" after participating, while the other participants will see the "Standard message to all participants". Both messages can be created in the "Campaign design" section.
- Add another question: You can add all the questions that you need with or without images and with different types of responses to make the questionnaire as dynamic as possible.
For more information and examples about this section, you can read this post: Quiz for the campaign.
Check out this tutorial: Different Type of Questions/Anwers you can include in your Questionnaire or Survey >>
2.2.13. Paths.
You can configure here the different paths and forks for your quiz with different conditions and positions.
How to configurate conditional questions with our Path system >>
2.2.14. Discount coupons.
This is the most important part for competitions where the purpose is to give a personalised coupon or a code for a gift to your participants.
You can find more information about completing this section in the following solution: Launching a Contest or Campaign to Give Discount Vouchers >>
2.2.15. Validation of coupons/codes.
This section is for competitions with the opposite setup to the previous section. That is to say that instead of giving discount coupons to participants, they have to validate codes that they have received from the online shop, the physical shop or by email to participate.
You can find more information about completing this section in the following post: How to Redeem Discount Voucher Codes from your Clients >>
The result would be that a user that completes their entry would see the following:
2.2.16. Legal conditions.
- Add your own terms and conditions. By selectiong this option we'll include a link with your promo legal conditions.
- Terms and Conditions text: It is the text for the competition's terms and conditions. With our editor, you can style and format your terms and conditions. They are displayed in a pop-up when a user clicks on the 'terms and conditions' link. Here is a template that you can use to populate with data from your competition (ES).
- Activate a check-box with additional conditions: This is the ideal option if you want to encourage your consumers to subscribe to your newsletter.
Setting up a hashtag for Instagram allows us to share our competition on this social network too. It doesn't make sense for all competitions, but it is an option that we can use to raise awareness of our campaign.
2.2.17. Twitter integration.
This section is very important for competitions and campaigns where users can access with their Twitter account. If you want to create one, we suggest that you read the following solution: How to Create a Twitter Contest >>
If you checked in the section "Campaign login" that users can access the campaign with their Twitter account, the following subsection will appear:
Specific entry form for the participants who use Twitter to sign up for the campaign:
- Question to users so that they write the tweet with which they will participate: This text will appear above the field to tweet. If you do not write anything, it will not be mandatory to post a tweet to participate.
- Text that appears in tweet when a user shares this campaign on Twitter: In this field we can set up how we would like our campaign to be shared on Twitter. Think of 140 characters to attract tweeters to our competition or campaign.
- Twitter user that the participant must follow: Users who participate in your campaign with their Twitter account must follow the account you specify in this field. If you do not want to be mandatory follow any account, leave this field empty.
Options to collect entries from Twitter by hashtag(s)
- Twitter hashtags to automatically collect entries (up to 4, separated by spaces or comma): As in theInstagram section, this field allows you to include custom hashtag or hashtags so that all tweets that contain them will be automatically shown in your list of participants, either directly as entries, or as 'pending moderation' if you enable the next option.
- Pre-moderate tweets collected by hashtag: The tweets with your competition's hashtag will be collected as potential entries and you can choose whether or not to accept them (they will appear as 'pending moderation'). If you decide to accept these entries, you need to consider the fact that you will not have the email addresses of these users and that they have not accepted the conditions of your Facebook So, if you want to contact them, you must do so through Twitter by direct message or by mentioning the user in a tweet.
2.2.18. CRM Expotation.
As soon as one participant joins the cmapaign, we will send its data to any service you want.
2.2.19. Go viral!
- Suggest your participants to like your Facebook page / several Facebook pages, Twitter, Instagram and/or Pinterest profiles: It is no longer possible to make it obligatory that participants become fans of your Facebook page to be able to participate, but if that is what you want, you can recommend your fan page or other Facebook pages (or your profiles on Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest) to them. This option is usually very effective, because users participating in your campaign generally want to keep up to date with the company's latest news, or at least to anything related to the campaign or competition.
- What profiles do you want to suggest?: Your can recommend one or more Facebook pages, Twitter, Instagram or/and Pinterest profiles.
- Write the text you want to appear to convince your participants to follow your social profiles when they want to join your contest: You can customize the text that appears at the top of the pop-up, trying to encourage uptake.
- Suggest to voters that they like your fan page / several fan pages, Twitter, Instagram and/or Pinterestprofiles: It is no longer possible to make it obligatory that voters become fans of your Facebook page to be able to participate, but if that is what you want, you can recommend your fan page or other Facebook pages (or your Twitter, Instagram and/or Pinterest profiles) to them in the same way as for the participants in the previous section.
- Write the text you want to appear to convince your voters to follow your social profiles when they want to join to vote: You can customize the text that appears at the top of the pop-up, trying to encourage uptake of voters.
Share on Facebook, Pinterest:
- Image to display on users' Facebook wall when they click on 'Share': Image to be used on users' wall posts.
- Title to display on users' walls when they "Share" the competition: It is the title of the post that is created when a user clicks the competition's 'Share' button (not for an entry).
- Text to display on users' walls when they "Share" the competition: It is the body text of the post that is created when a user clicks the competition's 'Share' button (not for an entry).
- Title to display on users' walls when they "Share" their participation: It is the title of the post that is created when a user clicks the competition's 'Share' button for an entry (not for the competition).
- Text to display on users' walls when they "Share" their participation: It is the body text of the post that is created when a user clicks the competition's 'Share' button for an entry (not for the competition).
Share on Twitter:
- Text that appears in tweets when the users share your campaign on Twitter: This is the text that appears by default in the tweet to share the contest.
- Text that appears in tweets when the users share their participations on Twitter: This is the text that appears by default in the tweet when users share their participation in this social network.
- Twitter user to associate with the tweets generated by the campaign: The user specify here will appear as owner in Twitter Cards or tweet summary.
In this section we can choose in which social network the campaign can be shared:
2.2.20. Ad tracking.
- Google Analytics code: You can include your Google Analytics tracking code here so that you can take a more thorough look into the visits to your campaign. It is important that you only include your Analytics "Account ID" here and not the entire JavaScript code that Google. You should include something in this format: 'UA-1234456-7'.
This is especially useful if you want to embed your campaign on a website, as you can track the visits through the Google Analytics tracking code.
Usually, we include a new tracking code to monitor the visits to our campaign, but if you embed your campaing on a web, it would be also interesting to include that website's tracking code.

Do you remember the days when you used to be able to head out to the cinema safe in the knowledge that even if the film you wanted to see had sold out, there'd be something else worth watching? I'm talking about 10,000 years ago, obviously, because here's what's on at your local multiplex.
Screen one: a 3D CGI cartoon about a wisecracking badger with attitude you'd quite happily reverse a six-tonne tractor over. Screen two: a 3D superhero theme park ride that thinks it's King Lear. Screen three: a rom-com so formulaic you suspect it was created from a template on Moonpig.com. Screen four: The Very Hungry Caterpillar 3D. Screen five: all of the above, randomly intercut with one another because no one's paying attention anyway. Screen six: a lightshow for cattle. And so on.
About once a month there's a film actually worth bothering with: either something with a quirky sensibility and a modest budget, or the occasional decent blockbuster the studios have made by mistake. There seems to be something missing from cinema: big budget dramas with panache, aimed at an adult audience. Where are they? They migrated to television. And – don't snort with derision here – to video games.
Consider two of the biggest video games of 2011 thus far. The first is Portal 2, a darkly humorous science fiction . . . what? Story? Puzzle? Game? "Experience" seems like the best word to use, even though typing that makes me feel like shoving my fist in my mouth to punch my brain from an unexpected angle. The game mechanics of Portal 2 are almost impossible to describe without diagrams, but I'll try: you wander around a 3D environment trying to escape a series of rooms by firing magic holes on to the walls or floor; holes you can walk or fall through. So if I fire a hole on to the ceiling, and another on to the ground, I can jump through the ground and re-appear falling through the ceiling. This simple dynamic provides the basis for a series of fiendishly clever puzzles you find yourself working through – all of it tied into a humorous narrative that unfolds with more confidence, charm and sophistication than was strictly necessary. And before you whine about the solitary nature of games, it also includes a cooperative two-player mode in which you and a friend play through a parallel game together. The whole thing is stunningly clever and immensely enjoyable.
And then there's LA Noire, the James Ellroy-inspired crime drama, which has caused a stir, and rightly so, with its firm focus on narrative and staggering new facial animation technology. I'm a massive dweeb who keeps up with the latest gaming developments, and even I was astounded at what they've pulled off here. You're watching actors give genuine performances – within something that is still defiantly and unapologetically a video game. The lead character is played by Aaron Staton, AKA Ken Cosgrove from Mad Men – and is instantly recognisable, not just from his likeness, but also his facial mannerisms. Amusingly, plenty of his fellow Mad Men cast members also show up throughout the game (as well as faces familiar from shows such as Heroes and Fringe), reinforcing the overall feel of the game – which is like working your way through a hard-nosed HBO police procedural miniseries set in Los Angeles in the 1940s. If you've never played a game, or you think you hate them – but my description sounds vaguely appealing, give it a spin. Just watch someone else play it for a while if you like. I guarantee you'll be surprised.
And what really made me excited, thinking about both of these games, is that behind the state-of-the-art technology they both make use of (which has a level of sophistication that might come as a blinding shock to anyone who hasn't played a game since 1996), they're both old-fashioned video games at heart – not old-fashioned in the finger-twitching, reaction-testing Space Invaders sense, but something richer, something often overlooked by the population at large: old-fashioned video games that challenge the mind instead of the thumbs.
Portal 2 is essentially a demented series of puzzles – like being stuck inside a physics-based logic problem designed by the Python team; LA Noire is a trad adventure game. Adventure games used to be as close as gaming got to fiction. They started out as interactive text-based shaggy dog stories (a prime example being Douglas Adams's fantastic Hitchhiker's Guide Infocom adventure), transformed into point-and-click comedies (such as Monkey Island), and then largely went away for a while, as the gaming industry focused on gung-ho shooters aimed at teenage boys. The size, scope, and sheer self-assurance of LA Noire marks a major comeback for adventure games – for interactive fiction – and, potentially, a huge leap forward for wider acceptance of the medium as a whole.
And both these games – both of these entirely different, utterly unique creations – are a huge commercial success. In cinematic terms, it's the equivalent of films of the intelligence and quality of 2001: A Space Odyssey and The Maltese Falcon not just being released to great fanfare in 2011, but actually going on to smash box office records. Somehow Portal 2 and LA Noire manage to be more cinematic than a great deal of contemporary cinema – while being something entirely different, something with the phrase "I LOVE VIDEO GAMES" embedded in their DNA like a cheerful slogan through a stick of rock. These are not replacements for films, but something thrillingly different. Gaming's ongoing push into the mainstream consciousness has entered a bold new phase – by appealing to the players' intelligence and imagination, it's starting to make Hollywood look embarrassing.

Some states are betting on sports gambling, but progress toward legalization is slow in California
At 360 Sports, a new bar in a back corner of the Agua Caliente Resort Casino and Spa Rancho Mirage, more than a dozen televisions stream games and horse racing live to viewers eating chicken wings, mozzarella sticks and wagyu sliders. Video poker machines embedded in the bar sit beneath running tickers displaying information on sports scores and schedules.
The bar offers everything sports fans want. Except the ability to bet on a game.
For now, those fans must either go to a bookie, use off-shore mobile betting apps or travel to neighboring Nevada or the 11 other states that legalized sports wagering over the past year.
On May 14, 2018, the Supreme Court overturned the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act, which had effectively banned sports betting in most of the country. In the one year since the landmark ruling, both red states and blue states have rushed to legalize sports betting and cash in the potential revenue. Delaware and New Jersey legalized the practice less than a month after the Supreme Court ruling and, on Wednesday, Gov. Eric Holcomb signed a bill into law making Indiana the 11th state to legalize sports betting, not including Washington D.C.
In addition to the list of states that have legalized betting, more than 30 others are considering legislation that would do so. But California — a state that typically sees itself as ahead of the times and has the nation's highest number of professional sports teams — has lagged behind.
While some industry leaders are abuzz about the prospect of the Golden State adopting sports betting, lawmakers haven't made any progress on legislation that would bring wagering up from under the table.
"I do think it is ridiculous that you can bet on the Dodgers or Lakers or Angels in Las Vegas and now in all these other states and not do it here," said Kirk Barns of Brea, who was visiting a desert casino on a short golfing vacation. "Just make it legal like in other places. I'm sure the state will make money off of it by taking their share."

More:Ninth Circuit rules non-Indian local governments can tax leases on tribal land
Making sports betting legal in California is complicated by the state's constitution and decades-old compacts allowing casinos on tribal lands exclusively.
California's 63 casinos all operate on tribal lands and take in about $7.9 billion annually. The Desert Sun reached out to Agua Caliente Rancho Mirage and Fantasy Springs Resort and Casino, which is run by the Cabazon Band of Mission Indians, but officials from neither tribe-operated casino responded to requests for comment.
In 2010, a federal court ruled California could not negotiate new gaming compacts with tribes that required payments into the state's general fund and, as compacts have gradually expired, gaming tax revenue has plummeted. According to the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Office, the state will only rake in $3.6 million in gaming tax revenues in the current fiscal year — down from $330 million two years ago.
That's pennies compared to Nevada, where gaming tax revenues provide the state with more than $700 million annually and account for about 20% of its general fund revenue.
California lawmakers, the tribes and national casino businesses see sports betting as potentially lucrative. Adam Candee, the managing editor of sports betting news site Legal Sports Report, said fighting over how to implement legalization could make the process longer than in other states.
"Because of the state constitution and the dominance of tribal gaming in California, you have an environment that requires negotiations from a diverse group of stakeholders," he said.
Last summer, political consultant Russell Lowery filed papers with the Secretary of State for a 2020 ballot initiative that, if passed, would have allowed businesses "to conduct on-site sports wagering and to operate Nevada-style card games," but also prohibits the governor from approving gaming outside of tribal lands.
The initiative stalled when Lowery didn't attempt to gather signatures required for it to appear on the 2020 ballot in late February.
In an interview with The Desert Sun, Lowery said he never envisioned getting sports betting legalized via proposition and described filing the paperwork as more of a political maneuver to force legislators to act.
"The reason for submitting the initiative was to rally the industry around the idea that a legislative solution wasn't going to happen," he said. "Putting a conversation together and getting everyone to the table was kind of the point."
Lowery declined to provide his opinion on sports betting and said he filed papers for the initiative on behalf of a client he would not name.
California law prohibits legislators from making meaningful changes to laws passed by ballot initiative, and Lowery said he and his client hoped introducing a proposition could convince lawmakers to pass a law and preempt the proposition from appearing on the ballot.

The state legislature isn't considering any bills to legalize sports betting at the moment.
In past years, Assemblymember Adam Gray, D-Merced, has introduced legislation to legalize sports betting. Gray, often a vocal proponent for legalizing sports betting, declined to comment for this story. But in 2016, he said Californians bet on sports whether the state authorized it or not and pointed to the potential tax revenue from the industry, which the American Gaming Association estimates brings in $150 billion annually nationwide.
In 2017, Gray introduced AB 1573, a bill that proposed creating a legal framework for sports betting. The following year, as sports betting was making its way through the federal court system, Gray introduced ACA 18. It proposed amending the state constitution to allow sports betting if it was legalized on the federal level. Neither bill advanced in the state legislature.
"The choice is not, should we have sports wagering or not have sports wagering. We do have sports wagering," Gray said in an interview with KCRA. "You could see tax revenue as high as a $100 million or $200 million a year to the state general fund if we authorize sports wagering."
After last year's landmark Supreme Court decision, California Nations Indian Gaming Association Chairman Steve Stallings said casino-operating tribes should play a central role in the path to legalization.
"California voters have, on numerous occasions, confirmed the exclusive right of California tribal governments to operate casino-style games," he said. "Legalization of sports betting should not become a backdoor way to infringe upon exclusivity."
With tribes wanting to protect their monopoly on gaming on one side, casino operators looking to expand the industry on the other side and politicians wanting new revenue sources, Lowery said it's difficult to rally supporters and pressure the government to act.
"It's not clear who would make money in California on sports betting. With the lack of clarity, it's tough to organize to get it done," he said.
Fighting over how to regulate the gaming industry in California has been contentious since the 1990s and ballot initiative campaigns that propose expanding the practice have cost millions.

California took its first step toward legalizing sports betting in 1933, when voters passed a ballot measure to legalize betting on horse races. By 1984, satellite wagering on horse racing was approved by the state legislature.
The state reached gaming compact agreements with tribes in 1999 and 2004. In 2000, voters passed Proposition 1A to allow the state to negotiate gaming compacts with federally recognized tribes while precluding the state itself from operating Vegas-style casinos. In 2008, voters approved four propositions that allowed tribal casinos to triple their number of slot machines, in exchange for giving the state a larger percentage of their revenue.
The state collects taxes on gaming, but the compacts mandate a majority of the revenue go toward a trust fund for impoverished tribes without casinos. Since the initial compacts, the fund has collected $918 million in revenue.
The 1999 gaming compacts expire in December 2020.
Candee, the Legal Sports Report managing editor, said the legalization process has been slower in larger states.
"Specific to California and Florida, and you could apply this somewhat to Illinois, when you have a state this big, this much money, this many interested parties, it's just going to take a long time," he said. "The pressure is on them to take advantage of the opportunity sooner rather than later.
"If it takes years for sports betting to come to California, I don't think anyone will be surprised," Candee added.
Candee said he believes the multibillion-dollar industry could be a boon for states in search of additional revenue sources, but Lucy Dadayan, a researcher at the Urban Institute, said that, historically, state politicians and industry leaders have overpromised on potential revenue from "sin taxes," including gambling, cigarettes, alcohol and the lottery.
"Around the Great Recession, there were a lot of states debating casinos. Eight or nine states looked into legalization and made big promises about how much money they'd make," she said. "It's easier to go to voters and say, 'Hey, do you want to legalize sports betting?' versus saying 'Hey, do you want us to raise your income taxes, which means less money in your pocket?'
"Even with cannabis, California overestimated revenues," she said. "It always comes up short."
California projected it would bring in $643 million in tax revenue in the first year of legal cannabis but ultimately only brought in $345 million, according to a February report from the state's Department of Tax and Fee Administration.
In her research, Dadayan has found that some states experienced a short-term revenue boost after legalizing different forms of gambling, but it rarely lasts. And legalizing sports betting, she said, could potentially cannibalize profits and state tax revenue drawn from other discretionary spending.
"With the expansion of lotteries, casinos and racinos, the overall growth trend is downward," she said. "We might see states making revenue from sports gambling, but it'll come at the cost of revenue from other recreational activities."
Although more and more states are gradually legalizing sports betting, Dadayan said the process could face roadblocks in California because the compacts between the tribes and the state only allows for casino operations on tribal lands.
"I imagine it's not in the state's favor to authorize sports gambling on reservations, because the tribes will have the largest share of the revenue," she said.
For their part, local bettors are skeptical of the nationwide sports legalization trend.
"I'm not sure that adding sports gambling in the state would make me bet any more," said Joanne Walker of Palm Desert, who says she bets occasionally on events like the Super Bowl. "That's one of the appeals for me of going to Vegas. It's something you can do there and not here, so you want to go there. And I enjoy Vegas. Since I'm not a big sports bettor, I might just hold off until I go to Vegas to make those kinds of bets."
"We hear about all these things that the state wants to do to raise revenues, but they never seem to pan out as promised. This might be one of those things where everyone says it will be great, but maybe the interest won't be there. I'd probably bet on some football, but not much else," said Karen Nielsen of La Quinta.
Others say if sports gaming was available, they would take advantage of it.
"I'm a horse player for the most part, but I'm sure I would bet on football and basketball if it was available," said Walt Murphy of Indio. "And you can do that, just in ways that might not be legal. So it's just easier to bet on the horses.
"Someday, the state and the Indians are going to make sports betting legal in California, so why wait," Murphy said. "Just make it legal now, tax it and let people do what they want to do. They let people smoke marijuana legally, but you can't make a bet on a football game? That doesn't make any sense."
Where can you place a bet
Here's a list of states where sports gambling is legal or within weeks of being legal. Approximately 30 other states have bills that would legalize sports gaming in their legislature currently:
Up and running
- Nevada
- Delaware
- New Jersey
- Mississippi
- West Virginia
- Pennsylvania
- Rhode Island
- New Mexico
- Washington D.C.
Approved but not yet operating
- Indiana
- Montana
- Arkansas
Awaiting governor's signature

When Generations Share Space
9 ways to keep the peace when parents, grown children or grandkids move into your home
To varying degrees, multigenerational household have always been a fact of American life. Over the last couple of decades, however, the numbers have been creeping up. According to the Pew Research Center, in 2008 some 49 million Americans, or 16% of the total U.S. population, lived in a family household that contained at least two adult generations or a grandparent and at least one other generation. That's a significant increase from1980 when the figure was about 28 million, or 12 percent of the population.
See also: Grandchildren as caregivers.
And there's reason to believe that the Great Recession is accelerating that trend even further. According to Pew, the number of multigenerational households rose by 2.6 million between 2007 and 2008 alone. In 2009 an AARP poll found that 11% of people age 50 and older live with their grandchildren or their parents, and 11% of those ages 35-44 report living with their parents or in-laws. And my hunch is that those numbers will continue to grow.
I'm meeting more and more grandparents who move in with their adult children because they have lost a job or because the stock market's fall has dashed their retirement dreams. And I hear from just as many grandparents who tell me their adult children and grandchildren are moving in with them because of job changes or home foreclosures.
There's a lot to be said for different generations living under one roof. In addition to the financial aspect, both young and older people reap lots of benefits from sharing space. It's great for kids to get some extra-special attention from loving grandparents. And older people report feeling less isolated when they live around children and grandkids. Young adults, too, experience a sense of safety and security when they move back "home" with their parents.
Personally, I think that the benefits of multigenerational living far outweigh the risks. But I also know that there are points of potential conflict. Here are some key ways to keep the peace if you're living in a multigenerational household.
- Prepare your home. Does your home work for all ages? Can your house accommodate someone who might find climbing stairs a challenge or who might need a walk-in shower or a single-handle faucet? Are you prepared to keep children safe? www.aarp.org/homedesign has information to make your house safer and more comfortable for everyone.
- Prepare your family. Have regular family conferences to discuss issues before they become problems. Ideally, before you move into together you should ask family members of all ages to talk about how they expect life to change, including what they want, what they are excited about, and what they fear. Be specific: If grandparents are helping with child care, how much time will they spend babysitting? What role will grandchildren play in elder-care tasks? How do family members want to handle cooking and mealtimes? It's a great way to see where friction may occur and to head it off at the pass.
- Give everyone some privacy. It's important that grandparents, parents and grandchildren have their own places — bedrooms, maybe sitting rooms, or even corners of rooms — for favorite chairs, places to watch television, or study areas for homework. People feel more comfortable when they each have little patches of real estate to call their own.
- Let older people live their own lives. Whether they are highly active and independent, or if they are being cared for, older people need to maintain a strong sense of independence. Opportunities to see friends, to continue activities they enjoy, and to have downtime, are important at any age.
- Strive for consistency. Establish — and stick to — routines as mealtimes and bedtime rituals. If grandparents are living in the household, parents should also plan one-on-one time with their children and time for themselves — time to exercise and to keep up with their interests.
- Facilitate loving interactions. Make sure family members have time to enjoy one another. This is especially true when grandparents are living with grandkids. Allow the generations to develop special, shared interests that create bonds and positive memories.
- Don't get caught in the middle. Often, parents are in no-man's-land trying to please the older and younger generations. You can't be expected to take care of everyone if you are running on empty. Get plenty of rest, make your time a priority and get support if you need it from a caregiver support group.
- Be realistic. Only so much furniture can fit in a house; people can only be expected to change so much over a lifetime; teenagers are only going to want to hang out with their grandparents so much; elders will only be able to handle a certain volume level on the stereo; there are only 24 hours in a day; and you can only be in one place at a time, no matter how much everyone needs you.
- Make memories. Share stories, look at photos, research family history, and record these things in audiotape or in a video. Have fun and treasure the time. While multigenerational households may be the result of negative circumstances, they offer positive opportunities that many families will never have.

(Yes, I get the post title contradiction.)
I work a few days a week at a Christian bookstore. Some days it's about retail, but some days I get into some really amazing conversations with people who have little to no faith background, which truly justifies the existence of the place.
There are a number of Bibles in the store that I always say I would grab if the store ever caught on fire. They are the Bibles I covet, and I do have a birthday coming up soon. (Okay, don't anyone actually act on that, since I have connections you don't.) So as much as I love my NIV Study Bible, here are few things I would gladly steal if I thought the boss wouldn't catch me. (Yes, I know. You're thinking, "First coveting and now stealing." It's just literary license, I actually am the boss.)
So here's my personal wish list:
Note: None of these are weird, esoteric or scholarly editions that only hardcore Bible junkies or geeky academics would want. This is for the average person reading this.
- The Voice Bible — I've reviewed a book here that describes the making of this translation, and at the sister blog to this one — Christianity 201 — I've been using quotations from The Voice now that it's on BibleGateway.com but I don't actually own one. Not yet. (Thomas Nelson; various prices)
- The Contemporary Parallel New Testament — As mentioned above, you can do a lot of passage comparison online, but there are still times when a physical printed page holds some advantages and grants greater impact. Includes: KJV, NASB Updated Ed., NCV, CEV, NIV, NLT, NKJV, and The Message (Oxford University Press; $49.99 US)
- NIV Compact Giant Print Bible — While admittedly it clocks in around 2,400 pages, nobody told this 12-point type, NIV Giant Print Bible that it wasn't supposed to be huge and clunky. The size is surprisingly manageable. Perfect for vain people who don't want to admit they otherwise use reading glasses; and the only giant print Bible of any translations that I've seen that's worthy of taking with you. (Zondervan; various prices)
- NLT Full Verse Cross Reference — This one is not pictured as it's out of print. Tyndale House Publishers is notorious for taking all my favorite Bibles out of print. We're not good friends. But I loved the idea of spelling out all the cross referenced verses instead of having to flip back and forth, assuming the cross referenced verses are truly relevant.
Currently on our coffee table is the aforementioned NIV Study, the ESV Study, The Message New Testament (we appear not to own a full edition), a copy of the Common English Bible (CEB) and the Quick View NIV which I reviewed here in November. (The part about the upcoming birthday is true, however.)

India: Part 2
Being on the road seems like a big part of life in India and if I had to drive on those roads, I would not survive! Lines on the road are barely suggestions to drivers and driving into oncoming traffic to pass others is quite normal. After awhile, I just learned to look out the window and not straight ahead. Besides, there was lots to see.
Tuk-tuk's, entire families on scooters, cows. And everyone is encouraged to honk.

India: part 1
India is the first place I have been to where I really felt culture shock.
Everything was foreign to me. It was an interesting feeling.
We spent the first half of the trip in New Delhi which was a level of noise and crowds I am not accustomed to. My priority was to buy some things to wear for the wedding and whatever else we do is a bonus. We didn't really do much else (we took it easy since we were travelling with Eloise) but walking down the street or riding in a car would be an adventure.
Eloise was calm and happily sitting in our arms the entire time. She had her first fever in India which gave us a scare, but she got better just in time for the wedding.
They say nothing can really prepare you for India and it is true. But now that we've had a little taste of it, we'd love to go back again some day.

7 months
We are taking this week to decompress from our trip. I am still jetlagged and Eloise's schedule is somewhere between India and Toronto time.
This little world traveler is 7 months today. She made us look like superstar parents at the wedding in India but really, her good demeanor has little to do with us. We are so blessed to have this lovely baby.
