Reincarnation is the belief that after death, a person can come back to life in a different body. There's much debate about the validity of this concept, although a great many of us think it would be very relaxing to come back as a pampered house cat.

Join the debate and state your case with this instant hit, Is Reincarnation Real? Heather426's lens does more than ask a question, she backs up both sides with content, links, and examples, so if you're unsure, you can make an informed decision first.

Some lensmasters shy away from controversial questions, and some dive right in. When a lens succeeds in offering quality content and participants debate the issue, not each other, it's exactly those touchy subjects that can make for award winning lenses.

In a time where it seems a good thing doesn't last, 2010 marks the 100th anniversary of the American Boy Scouts, and there's no sign of slowing down.

OneFootPutt's lens takes you through the history of the Boy Scouts from the original meetings and groundbreaking projects, through exciting milestones and trivia. I have to admit that not having been a Girl Scout, I don't know much about the inner workings of the organization. This lens does a great job of showcasing the wide range of activities scouts participate in without being extensive or extraneous.

The Boy Scouts are right up there with baseball and apple pie; they're an American tradition. Here's to another 100 years of community service, learning, and leadership!

It doesn't matter what you know if you don't know someone who wants to know it too.  When new lensmasters ask about getting more eyeballs on their lens, what they should really be asking is, "How can I become somebody people want to know and listen to?"

Dedicated lensmaster Susan52 knows what it takes to go from an unknown to a somebody on Squidoo. Are You a Squidoo Nobody? contains six simple lessons, plus a bonus, on how to go from a brand new lensmaster with a never-before-heard-of username to a recognized veteran.

Even if you're not yet to the point where you're working to become famous, you'll find Susan's tips to be a gold standard for getting started as a lensmaster. Once you've become a somebody, there's no where to go but up the ranks!

Nominate a how-to lens for Workshop Weekends LOTD at lotd@squidoo.com

People new to writing and online publishing often find themselves in a bind with how other people's content can and cannot be used.

"Can I quote it?"
"How much is too much?"
"Is it plagiarism if it's public domain?"

Today's Weekend Workshop lens can help all our lensmasters feel better about what they're publishing. Is it Plagiarism? by SusannaDuffy will help readers understand how to stay out of copyright trouble and write authentic content.

The best rule is to ALWAYS write something original from your own mind, but when you want to use quotes, this is your reference for doing so.

When it comes to creating fan lenses, some people have the knack for engaging readers into the whole life of a character. Grannysage definitely has it in her lens David McCallum: The Real Reason I Watch NCIS.

I'll be honest, I've never seen a full episode of NCIS, U.N.C.L.E. was before my time, and I couldn't pick David McCallum out of a crowd, but Granny's passion for showing of her topic kept me entertained and informed from start to finish.

Grannysage doesn't just tell you what shows her favorite character has been on and where he grew up. She tells a story of what she remembers of him throughout the years. Some lenses use storytelling as a background filler between sales modules and Wikipedia articles. Grannysage builds the story first, and supports history with examples. Some long lenses struggle with module titles, while this lens expertly uses the story to flow between them.

You know what I'll be DVRing next!

The waterpark probably isn't your first thought for a vacation destination in February, but if you're lucky enough to live near Minneapolis, you'll benefit from triathlontraining's lens Minnesota Indoor Water Parks: A Fun Winter Activity for the Family.

This amazing local lens (two in a row for LOTD!) carves its niche as an expert resource by providing all your usual tourist information in addition to photos, videos, and my favorite, reader polls. Yup, this smartypants lensmaster knows that by letting his readers tell their stories, he's gaining a reputation as the MN waterpark expert. You don't have to take his word for it; decide how much other visitors have enjoyed each park, and choose from there.

Don't forget the water wings, and watch out for DHMO!

It's Groundhog Day, and unfortunately it sounds like we have at least 6 more weeks of winter. For those of you lucky enough to reside near Flagstaff, finding a way to entertain yourself until spring shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks to lensmaster and private tourguide ramkitten, Squidoo is host to your very own must-do list of Fun Winter Activities in Flagstaff, Arizona. Yes, Arizona does get snow, and ramkitten is showing you how to make the most of it with lists, suggestions, links, maps, and hours for over 20 resorts, parks, museums, and festivals.

What makes this a great local lens is that the lensmaster doesn't assume you know what and where. The information is easy to read for locals and tourists alike, and there are plenty of links for more information. The event-relevant photos and videos become your interactive brochure, and you don't have to choose from everything, just the best options.

Enjoy a ski for me!
