BoardBox ~ realistic, true-to-life board games on iPad.
Since Apple's iPad announcement, Movile Inc. has been focusing hard on making the best game for the new platform that we possibly could. Realism, depth, and interaction were our goals, and we'll let you judge how you think we did.
We are overjoyed to finally announce our latest title,
BoardBox is set to be the most graphically rich and realistic looking board game set on iPad.
With dozens of features and true-to-life visuals, BoardBox is the only board game you will need on your iPad! Grab a friend and play a game of Chess, Checkers, or Reversi. Turn off the rules and make up your own! Play with a friend around the world via email!
And the list goes on….
- 15 board games, including:
....……Tic Tac Toe
......……International Draughts
........……Westernized Xiangqi
.........……plus 5 Chess and 2 Go variants!
- Email multiplayer
- 3 unique board styles: Mahogany, Granite, and Old School
- Rules and Game History provided by Wikipedia
- and MUCH more!
Included in our plans for future releases are feature updates, tons of new games, and continuing to elevate BoardBox to be the ultimate board game application on your iPad. And best of all: future updates will be 100% free! No in-app purchase content. We simply make it; you get it. FREE.
Best of all is the price: just $3.99 on launch day! Compare that to a set of travel games for $29.95 and you'll see the value right away. Plus, it might be a little hard to shove those little plastic pieces in an email to play with your friend on the other side of the world. Or save your game for next time. Or look up the rules without carrying around a book. Or … well, I think you get the idea.
Hello again!
I'm here to answer a bunch of questions regarding the way we're handling certain features and such with respect to BoardBox and the way it is played:
1) How will email multiplayer work?
We tried to make this as seamless as possible. And it pretty much is. Here are the total steps:
- Make a move, tap email, tap send.
In order to make a move, once you've opened the email,
- Tap the link in the email, make a move, tap email, tap send.
The recipient also gets a nice graphic right from the game showing them the board, rendered on the fly from within BoardBox!
Perhaps this is better illustrated in pictures, so I have more screenshots for you!
2) What are the plans for the future?
Jeez, let us release the game first! Actually, we're thinking about the future just as much as you are. We've got a bunch of new games planned (and yes, we're taking your suggestions into consideration), some tweaks to make gameplay better, international localizations, and some other cool stuff that will elevate BoardBox further. Stay tuned!
3) What's the deal with no logic engine or artificial intelligence to play against the computer?
We wanted to make this game the best quality that we could. Focus on gameplay and make a great multiplayer game. The iPad is a huge screen that can be shared with people a heck of a lot easier than an iPod touch or iPhone. Second, there simply wasn't enough time to develop a logic engine, but even with that said, the point was to create a fantastic multiplayer experience, and we think we've done that, and included worldwide email multiplayer to boot!
If you have any questions, feel free to ask and hopefully we'll be able to answer them for you! BoardBox hits the iPad App Store soon, and we can't wait for everyone to play along! Take a look at some more drool candy while you wait, including our first look at the menu system, and our Old School Chess set with plastic pieces!

This looks awesome!
Nice! The e-mail multiplayer sounds like a fun feature too.
Lets be sincere this will suck, i don't think there will be any fun with the huge crab, If you'd like to create a board game, why not dedicate to one and see it is very fun to play? Watch out for the rating of this game.
Well I think it looks great! I would like to see Pachisi added at some point as well
-- Geb --
Sounds fantastic! This is the exact thing that make me consider getting an iPad.
Does it have statistics, such as winnings/losses?
In addition, it would be nice to have a board setup (e.g. without the top menu) to allow two real players like in a real board.
I would love to have a board set up for two players as well.
And I hope you can add Backgammon soon! This is my favorite board game.
Hi everyone! Thanks very much for your responses! It is things like this that help us nail out the features that you want to see and really give us the best feedback possible! So to answer your questions:
1) By two player board setup, I think you mean a way to hid the menu controls so that two people can play together? The main idea of the game is to grab a friend and play along. Set the iPad down on a table, hold it, or pass it between you to enjoy a game of Chess, Checkers, Reversi, or any of the other 15 games we've built in so far!
2) Backgammon is on the list for a future update. Because it plays differently than most of the other games we've included, it didn't make it into the initial deadline, but it is on its way with three variations in a future update!
We're going to have more information soon on how you can get your grubby hands on BoardBox, future updates, and a video of gameplay very soon! Thanks and keep the questions coming!

Martin Hanifin named vice chancellor for administration and financeDecember 9, 2013
|Martin Hanifin
EAU CLAIRE — Martin Hanifin has been named vice chancellor for administration and finance and chief business officer at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire following a national search.
Hanifin, who on Jan. 15 will begin his new duties at UW-Eau Claire, currently is vice president for finance and administration at Colorado State University-Pueblo.
Hanifin replaces David Gessner, current vice chancellor for administration and finance and chief business officer, who is stepping down this month after a 32-year career at UW-Eau Claire.
"I am very grateful to David Gessner for his three decades of service to UW-Eau Claire, during which he provided expert stewardship of the university's financial resources and was a valued member of our leadership team," said Chancellor James Schmidt. "Going forward, Martin Hanifin's experiences and strengths will serve UW-Eau Claire well as we transition to new leadership in this area and continue working toward our strategic goals as a university."
As vice chancellor for administration and finance, Hanifin will oversee the development of the annual university budget of approximately $212 million and will provide leadership and vision in financial planning,working with members of UW-Eau Claire's executive staff, student government leaders, senior leadership, University Senate and others in meeting the mission and strategic goals of the university. He will report directly to the chancellor, be a key liaison with the UW System and be responsible for direct management of UW-Eau Claire's administrative and business functions.
"I am delighted to be joining UW-Eau Claire and am appreciative of the opportunity to serve and support such a talented and welcoming university community," Hanifin said. "I look forward to working with Chancellor Schmidt and the campus to ensure that our financial and human resources are aligned to accomplish our goals. I also look forward to being a voice for UW-Eau Claire on administrative and financial matters within the University of Wisconsin System."
Hanifin will be effective in ensuring that UW-Eau Claire maintains the transparency expected of a public university with regard to its finances, and he possesses the skills required to communicate the complexities of university finances to its many stakeholders, Schmidt said.
"Marty also will be a valuable contributor to our leadership team as we look at how we can leverage the assets of the community, combined with those of the university, to meet and even exceed the expectations of our many constituents — including students, alumni, business, local government, the community at large and the legislature," Schmidt said. "He will be a great fit as we work together on goals for the future that will reap benefits for all constituents."
Hanifin said he has goals for both the internal and external focuses he will maintain in the vice chancellor position.
"Internally, I, along with everyone on the vice chancellor staff, will engage the many campus constituencies as an accessible,friendly, reliable and helpful resource," Hanifin said. "Externally, I look forward to working with the University of Wisconsin System and in the community to identify opportunities, effectively advocate for UW-Eau Claire and continue to strengthen UW-Eau Claire and define what it means to be a Blugold."
At Colorado State University-Pueblo, a university of approximately 5,000 students with a $100 million annual budget, Hanifin has been the chief administrative and financial officer since 2012, overseeing budget and fiscal operations, business financial services, facilities, auxiliary services, purchasing and contract services, and human resources.
Hanifin's higher education experience also included positions at the University of Oregon, where he was assistant vice president for administration from 2007-09 and director of administrative services for campus operations from 2010-12. Previously, he worked as a legislative fiscal analyst for the Oklahoma State Senate and in various positions in Vermont state government.
Hanifin received a bachelor's degree in government from Norwich University in Northfield, Vt.; a master's degree in government and foreign affairs from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Va.; a master's degree in public administration from the University of Oklahoma (where he also was the recipient of the Carl Albert Congressional Fellowship); and a Juris Doctor from the University of Virginia School of Law.

Thermal analysis, and in particular Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), is useful for characterizing polymers and fibers. Typically, the mass used for DSC experiments is at the order of 5 to 10 mg. However, a single fiber has a mass that is approximately 100 times less than the usual weight, thus a DSC instrument with a high level of sensitivity and performance is required. The PerkinElmer® double-furnace DSC can be used for the characterization of single fibers as well as for other demanding forensic applications. In this application note two single carpet fiber samples (mass of only 0.05 mg) were characterized using Power Compensation DSC and the High Speed DSC approach. The use of very fast heating rates (100 to 400 ˚C/min) provides greatly enhanced sensitivity for the successful characterization of very low mass materials.

'About Last Night': a one-night stand best forgotten
A one-star review of "About Last Night," a raunchy, loud, pointless remake of a 1986 Rob Lowe/Demi Moore movie.
Special to The Seattle Times
Movie Review
'About Last Night,' with Kevin Hart, Michael Ealy, Joy Bryant, Regina Hall. Directed by Steve Pink, from a screenplay by Leslye Headland, based on a play by David Mamet. 100 minutes. Rated R for sexual content, language and brief drug use. Several theaters
The cultural dilution of David Mamet's "Sexual Perversity in Chicago" continues with "About Last Night," an adaptation/remake with even less of the play's DNA than the dreadful original film. "About Last Night…," from 1986, is bathed in the trademark gauzy schmaltz of director Edward Zwick, but at least it retains a smidgen of Mamet's headlong, profane wit. That element has been completely eradicated from this new version, which amps up the raunch but forgets the wit.
The suddenly ubiquitous Kevin Hart gets top billing, but the movie's main characters are Michael Ealy's Danny and Joy Bryant's Debbie, a couple whose one-night stand quickly escalates into something more serious. Despite the reservations of their respective best friends, Bernie (Hart) and Joan (Regina Hall), each falls fast and hard for the other, and soon they've moved in together. Naturally, that's when the trouble starts.
Ealy and Bryant are likable screen presences with genuine chemistry, but there's only so much they can do with the tired, reductive dynamic of irresponsible man and killjoy woman that's eventually introduced to inject some conflict. Besides, this is a movie far more interested in a different pair.
Bernie and Joan, who were merely friends of the leads in the 1986 film, have been upgraded to secondary couple status here, mainly as a vehicle for the scrunched-up comic stylings of Hart, who never met a bad joke he couldn't make worse by screeching it louder. Hall is unfortunately Hart's perfect comic counterpart — each one keeps outdoing the other in the race for most obnoxious. (Hart wins.)
Director Steve Pink ("Hot Tub Time Machine") and writer Leslye Headland ("Bachelorette") are both responsible for films that overestimated their own edginess, and "About Last Night" follows suit. Supposedly envelope-pushing jokes about oral sex and contraceptives are as passé as they come. And even though it's largely comic in tone, the film still can't help but get sucked into a slushy vortex of sentimentality by the time the credits roll.
"About Last Night" references its predecessor when Danny and Debbie watch Rob Lowe and Demi Moore's softball scene in the original and argue over whether it's a girl movie or a guy movie. As for the remake? Let's not insult a whole gender by assigning it to either one.

Welcome to the website of "the Creamery" an authentic quality Irish Bar & Restaurant which occupies a prime position on Bunratty Fair Green in the heart of Bunratty right beside the world famous castle.
The building itself has an interesting history going back to the early 19th century. In 1823 Charles Bianconi opened a stagecoach service linking Limerick, Ennis and Bunratty. There is evidence indicating that the building was used as a scheduled stop for the Bianconi coaches with the ground floor being used for the stabling of horses.

The above composite image is of three members, as yet unidentified, of the Lemaire family of northern France. How they are related to each other and to the contemporary family I'm working on is also yet to be determined. I've decided to post them now simply as examples of the kind of black-and-white studio portraits so common from the late 19th century and the early 20th century that I find so appealing. There is a painting-like quality to them that draws me in. Though they are all carefully posed shots, I don't sense any kind discomfort on the part of the subjects, especially the WWI soldier in the middle. They all seem to have the poise of professional models.
Ephemera Worth Keeping
Ephemeral: what a lovely sounding adjective. My thesaurus has the following synonyms: transitory, fleeting, brief, short-lived, momentary, impermanent, passing…you get the idea. Its origin is the Greek ephemeros which means "lasting only one day," according to Wikipedia. The singular noun form is ephemeron; the plural is ephemera. In the fields of history and genealogy, you hear of collections of ephemera. What is it? Professional historians say that ephemera consists of anything printed on paper that was of passing interest at the time it was created. That's irrelevant to what I'm talking about, since I'm neither a historian nor a professional.
I'm talking about keepsakes. Family heirlooms. Mementos. You know–Stuff!
Since I spend so much time working with and talking about photographs, I'm going to leave them off of this list.
Here are examples of items other than photos that people back in the day would stash away in closets. Some where, in fact, meant to last; some were not. Some of it is indeed printed matter; much of it is not. The list is in no particular order.
- High school and college yearbooks.
- Birth, marriage and death certificates.
- Diplomas and similar educational certificates.
- Awards and trophies from work, school and hobbies.
- Original paintings, sculpture and handmade craft items.
- Religious mementos; bibles and hymnals.
- Handmade family trees.
- Diaries, journals and sketchbooks.
- Locks of hair or baby teeth.
- Military uniforms, discharge papers and memorabilia.
- Passports, naturalization documents, probate documents.
- Sheet music of original compositions; manuscripts that later became published works.
- Newspaper or magazine clippings.
- Mailed birth announcements, birthday and anniversary cards, party invitations, sympathy cards and thank you cards.
- Tickets and programs to theatrical or sporting events in which a family member participated.
- Church programs from baptisms, confirmations and memorial services or funerals.
- Advertising brochures and flyers from businesses owned or companies worked for by relatives.
- Handwritten or printed collections of home-created recipes.
- Personal telephone and address books.
- Postcards and souvenirs from honeymoons or big vacations.
- Contents of wallets or purses, such as driver's licenses, insurance cards, club membership cards.
- School report cards.
- Menus, placemats or matchbooks from family-owned restaurants.
- Résumés and letters of recommendation from employers.
- Cancelled checks from banks that document important purchases.
- Old road maps with the route of a life-changing cross-country trip marked in pen.
- Artwork created by children.
- Personal letters, including love letters.
- Timepieces and jewelry; keys and similar hardware.
- Wedding dresses, baby blankets and clothing.
- Stamp and coin collections (which sometimes have actual monetary value!).
In trying to determine what is and isn't ephemera (in the view of a serious hobbyist) this is what I think: If the item has become, regardless of original intention, something that has acquired meaning to someone in the present, then it is worth keeping.
I have in my possession items from several categories in the list. I've kept or collected them because they either have emotional value or are useful in my research. Sometimes I only have a digital version of an item. If eventually the meaning or usefulness to anyone of an item fades, either the original or the copy (or both) may be discarded.
Edwin Theilig was not related to me, but to the families I am currently doing a project for. Here's his high school algebra class report card for the school year 1922-23. Now doubt it was originally saved by his mother. Decades later, when she passed on, we can assume Edwin found it and decided it meant something to him. Eventually he died, and his widow kept it for the remaining 22 years of her life. Edwin's daughter, is now in possession of it.
The report card itself has no monetary value or historic significance. It's possible the signatures at the bottom are the only remaining handwriting by Edwin's parents, Max Arno Theilig and Ruth A. (Merrill) Theilig.
As long as I'm discussing the Theilig family, here's a dispatch from the U. S. Navy (the spelling "despatch" was in use at the time) from 1928 from the U.S.S. General Alava somewhere in the Asian Sea. Apparently there had been an attempt to contact 20-year old Edwin (with the description "Fireman") to inform him of his father's death back home, and there had been trouble locating him. No doubt some modern-day veterans would consider this a typical military SNAFU.
I am neither an obsessive packrat nor a minimalist, but since it's likely I won't have any blood descendants, lately I've tended to do more tossing out rather than stowing away the effluvia of my own life. But that doesn't keep me from keeping some of the stuff of my forebearers (and other people's forebearers) while I am here and letting whomever I give it to before I go decide what to do with it.
Please mention in the comments any items you have kept belonging to a ancestor, relative or friend that I don't have in my list. I'm sure there are many I haven't thought of. I've purposely left out the many types of sound and motion picture film recordings from the past century or so, magnetic videotape from the past 40 years, as well as the digital versions of almost everything created in the past quarter century.
Awkward Family Photos, Circa 1925
There's a website that's been popular for laughs in recent years called Awkward Family Photos. Most of it consists of hilarious, embarrassing, repulsive or otherwise cringeworthy "what were they thinking" genuine family photos from the past few decades. Here's one I ran across in my research that could be viewed not with hilarity but with amusement–and it's from ninety years ago. It was taken in the Summer Street home of the Hopkins family of Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin.
To be precise: Mr. and Mrs. Ira Lincoln Hopkins and two of his three daughters. Pictured here are Lucille on the left and Eleanor on the right; Jessie is missing. Mrs. Hopkins, seated comfortably in her rocker stage left, was the former Lucy Martha Fairweather, about age 58 in this photo. She was a first cousin four-times removed to our grandchildren.
The photographer seems to have asked the two young ladies to sit cross-legged and hold on to their shoes–an odd pose for the time. At first glance I couldn't see the shoes and thought their fingers were curled against the floor, like long-armed apes dragging their knuckles on the ground. Now I've figured that, with Eleanor and her mother looking at each other intently, they are waiting for Ma's signal to levitate into the air like Hindu yogis. The prim and proper Mr. Hopkins will have none of that nonsense and rests in his handsome Morris chair, gazing into the middle distance. Only Lucy Junior looks at the camera, as if to say "Seriously?"
Ira Hopkins was described by local biographer of the time as a "prosperous dairyman" who owned 140 acres of farmland in Lima Township. Lucille, the eldest daughter, had considerable talent with the piano. The family were members of the First Baptist Church and always voted the Republican ticket.
Adams Children in the Portrait Studio
I absolutely love this photograph: the way the photographer posed and lit these children; the way they are dressed and their expressions. The two older girls look alert and well behaved–they way a parent hopes for when paying for a studio portrait. The third girl, the youngest child in the middle, looks a bit frightened. Her blurred right hand indicates she couldn't sit entirely still and was perhaps tugging at the sleeve of her calm older sister for support. The only boy is the one in the dark shirt–although in the style of the day, the outfit leans to the effeminate side.
These siblings are members of one of the thousands of Adams families that can be traced to the most famous Americans of that name: the second and sixth presidents of the United States. Let me be clear: I did not do that research. According to records left behind by many other family historians, these four youngsters are third cousins four-times removed from John Adams and fourth cousins three-times removed from his son, John Quincy Adams.
So are those presidents related to me, then? No, not really. My step-grandchildren are great grandniece and great grandnephew to these relatives, making little Theo and Olive third cousins seven-times removed of the second president, and fourth cousins six-times removed of J. Q. Adams.
Here are the names and life dates of these four ragamuffins: Left to right, Alma Peggy Adams (1902-1986); Esther Elizabeth Adams (1907-1998); John Sherman Adams (1906-1974) and in the front Lois Ruth Adams (1899-1985).
I have not been able to determine where the photo was taken; it had to have been either Missouri or New Mexico. The two youngest were born in Missouri in 1906 and 1907, the photo was taken in late 1908 or in 1909, but the entire family was living in Des Moines, New Mexico in the 1910 federal census.
I'll bet that as soon as the photographer was done, little Alma (later known as Peg) stuck her tongue out at the camera, crossed her eyes and pulled the bow from her head. The two youngest ones probably scrambled down from the wicker chair and asked for candy. Lois likely just stood up and calmly brushed the wrinkles from her best Sunday dress.
Why Am I Doing This?
It's Sunday morning, and many people are in church at this time. I am not one of those people. Instead, I'm spending this Sunday morning thinking about where I am in life and what I am doing with its gift. Lately I have used up many hours doing what plain-speaking types call "collecting dead relatives." I wouldn't refer to it that way because a good deal of the people I'm interested in are still very much above ground.
(That's another reason I usually don't call it genealogy. I'm contradicting myself a bit here–see my first post of this blog, titled "Welcome!"–because I actually do believe the difference between genealogy and family history is significant–I include stepparents, adopted children and other non-blood relatives in my research.)
But I want what I've been doing to sound more inviting to those who are not into this as much as I am by finding yet another term besides "Family History". Some people's eyes glaze over at the mention of history. That's stuff that happened in the past and is therefore not worth thinking about. Most people spend most of their time thinking about what they have to do today, tomorrow and next week. I want to show that if we take some time to consider our roots, we will be better able to appreciate where our lives have taken us. Maybe we will have a new perspective on where we might be in the coming years.
So how about I give an impressive name–like a university course. How about "Family Dynamics and Behavioral Studies Based on Ancestry and Descendancy 101." That might work!
Enough of this for now. I suppose I haven't really answered the question "why am I doing this", but at least have laid out one rationale for it. I'm sure I'll come back to this subject–probably on another contemplative Sunday morning.
Spokeo Results Sometimes Outdated
There's a website called Spokeo that I discovered about six months ago. I have often used it to help me contact living relatives. I paid about $25 for a one-year premium subscription. At first I found it very useful compared to similar sites I've tried in the past. However, today I found that it can be out of date–in this particular case way out of date.
I was looking up one Eveline C. Lemaire whom I believed to have moved to Florida after living most of her life in the state of New York. Lo and behold, I found her "current address" easily–along with an aerial photograph of her neighborhood. Then I scrolled down the page where it shows relatives who may live with this person. There was her husband, Samuel Lemaire–whom I happen to know died in 2007.
I sincerely hoped he didn't still live with her.
Then that got me thinking: What age would Eveline be now? I referred back to my genealogy files and slapped my forehead when I saw I had records showing she passed away at the age of 77 on January 4, 1994–nearly 20 years ago. (I knew that a few months back but had forgotten–hence my visit to Spokeo.)
I know sites like this use public records for their data. But the Social Security Death Index, which is updated quite often lately, is a public record and Eveline C. Lemaire is indeed there. I would have thought Spokeo would have some sort of internal search engine combing the SSDI every time it gets updated–apparently not!
So the point is that sites like Spokeo can be very handy, or they can send you on wild goose chases trying to make contact with people who have been dead for two decades. If you really want to contact the dead, hire a medium and hold a séance–you might get lucky. Anyway, this is something to consider before you fork out your hard-earned money for a premium subscription.
You Might Just Flip for the Flip-Pal
I love it when I find a product that makes my life easier.
If you've done any kind of genealogy research that's taken you to a faraway relative's home, you probably have found a family photo or document that you want a copy of. Usually these items are stored in decades-old albums with black construction paper pages in delicate condition. Sometimes they're in the more recent "magnetic" album pages with gummy plastic overlays, turning yellow. If we feel any kind of responsibility to preserve these treasures for future generations, we want to save them from further deterioration. Time to digitize!
But–your expensive flatbed scanner is at home. You wouldn't bring it with you anyway because it's too cumbersome–it's not designed to be portable. Besides, it has to be connected to a computer to save the images, and you only have your bulky desktop PC or Mac in your home office.
What to do? Your great aunt Rita isn't going to let you borrow that beloved picture album and bring it back months later–she wouldn't let it out of her sight. Your cousin Marvin doesn't want that elaborate handmade wooden frame with the marriage certificate of your great grandparents sealed inside for a century to be dismantled for scanning.
Enter the Flip-Pal scanner. Six months ago I picked up one of these gadgets online for $130. I was lucky to get it on sale; now it sells for $150. That's a lot of money, but I'm serious about including photographs in the family histories that I work on–so I considered it an investment.
There have been other mobile scanners on the market for a few years, but most of them have drawbacks. Some of them have memory cards, so at least they don't require a computer to store the images. (If you have a laptop with a USB cable, that last point is irrelevant–but play along with me here.) If the scanner requires you to feed a fragile item through a slot, if it doesn't go in straight it can easily be damaged.
But the biggest issue with most scanners, portable or desktop, is that you have to bring the photograph to the scanner. You're still faced with the problem of removing the photos from their albums or frames.
The Flip-Pal solves that problem most of the time by bringing the scanner to the photograph in situ. It's a lightweight color scanner measuring about 6 x 9 inches on the outside and is about an inch thick. The scanning area, the framed glass rectangle, is only slightly larger than 4 x 6 inches–but don't let that stop you.
Before I explain where this handy doodad gets its name, let me just say that if you are lucky enough to have an original that is loose–that is, not confined to an album or frame–and happens to be 4 x 6 inches or smaller–then you can just use the Flip-Pal like the miniature flatbed scanner that is. Open the lid, place the original face down on the glass, close the lid, press the button. Done and done.
As soon as you hear the scanning bar begin its return pass to its original position, you can remove your original and put in another. A tiny version of your photo will appear on the monitor. It's too small for judging the quality, but you can at least verify that you captured the image.
There are two resolutions to choose from: 300 or 600 dpi. With old photographs 300 dpi produces great results. Using the 600 setting will use your batteries up faster, take up twice as much storage and each scan will take twice the time. In the beginning I tried both settings on a batch of a dozen photos. When I later saw the two versions of each on my computer, I could barely see any differences.
When it's time to scan those unremovable originals in albums, books and under glass, here's where the flipping comes in. Take off the scanner lid. Go ahead, pull it right out of its two mounting slots! You'll notice there are two glass surfaces–the second one is on the bottom.
Flip the device over and place it on top of your original. You'll be able to see through both layers of glass to your original. Press the button and don't move the scanner. You'll be able to see the scanning bar travel across the machine. You can move the Flip-Pal away when it reverses direction–it only takes about five seconds to capture your image.
It takes a little practice to do the whole procedure smoothly. The scanning button on the side of the machine feels a little clumsier to press when it's upside down–and obviously if you want to check the scanned image in the monitor you have to flip the scanner back over each time.
If your original is larger than 4 x 6 inches, you simply make as many overlapping scans as you need to insure the entire photo or document has been captured. You can even mix landscape and portrait orientations. There are guide lines printed on the glass to show you how much overlap is needed. Later you select all the scans you've made and use the included Easy-Stitch software to combine them back into one seamless image.
This can be time-consuming when you have a large original. I once made 10 passes over a 12 x 20-inch photograph; it's better to make more scans that you think you need. This may be the only chance you have with that particular family treasure. Trial and error is the only way to learn how to use this device.
I used to worry about the glass window on the bottom of the machine. It seems so unprotected and easy to smudge. I was fastidious about wiping fingerprints off both glass surfaces with a microfiber cloth. Then I realized it's only important to keep the top surface pristine–and it's often protected by the removable lid. The bottom window is just there for aiming your upside-down scans.
Earlier I hinted the Flip-Pal is not perfect. Sometimes there are problems. If the photo is in a small frame and you are not able to lay the device completely flat against the image in the frame, you're going to get a blurry image. This can also happen with larger framed items if there is not enough empty space or a mat around the original. You will also have a problem with photos in plastic sleeves or under those transparent sheets I mentioned if the plastic has become wrinkled by heat; the wrinkles will show up as reflections from the bright scanning light.
In these cases, the only thing you can do is convince your relative that you really do have to temporarily remove the photo from its enclosure, but at least you can scan it during your visit and put it back immediately. Good luck with putting photos back into those plastic albums though; you'll have trouble making them stick.
The Flip-Pal has other uses. Take it to the library to scan book excerpts without having to wrestle them onto the copy machine and paying 15 cents a page. Use it to scan coins, stamps or other flat items. If you want to protect the device while carrying it around, you can get a padded nylon case in a variety of colors for $30 including a shoulder strap. You'll also want to buy a larger SD memory card; the one that comes with the Flip-Pal is too small. A 4-gigabyte SD card can hold hundreds of images–the quantity will vary based on the resolution you choose.
I wish it came with an AC adaptor so you can plug it in when you can. It takes four AA batteries and it's possible to use them up after several hours of scanning. Always take a spare set of batteries if you're going on a scanning field trip. Fortunately the Flip-Pal will shut itself off after two minutes of inactivity.
This is a niche product, so you can't find it in stores. You can buy it at Amazon and a few other online resellers or directly from Flip-Pal. It's made by Couragent, Inc. of Fort Collins, Colorado.
In trying to convince you to buy this gadget, I've pointed out a lot of flaws; but I still find the Flip-Pal worth the price. On a scale of 1 to 5, I'd give this time-saver 3½ stars.
Castle Siblings and Mother
Christmas 1955, Columbus, Ohio. Top row, left to right: John Wilson Castle, Nell Myrtle Castle, Ruth Margaret Castle, mother Nellie Jane (Carson) Castle (a widow for 16 years at this point), and Raymond William Castle. Front row, left to right: uncertain (could be Ann Louise Castle), uncertain (could be Dorothy, John's wife), Mary Jane Castle and Ross Samuel Castle. So there are at least six of the nine Castle adult children shown. The three missing would be Helen Mae Castle (my mother), Martha Evelyn Castle, and Ann–if she is not the woman on the left in front.
Here's a list of this generation of Castles with their offspring, all in birth order:
- Raymond (1904-1984) never married and had no children.
- Ruth (1906-1981) never married and had no children.
- Nell (1909-1982) married Edward William Parker and had three children.
- Ross (1911-2002) married Doris Marie Bellis and had two children.
- John (1916-2001) married Dorothy Grace Johnson and had three sons.
- Mary Jane (1918-2002) married Jack Elton Edgell and had two sons.
- Martha (1920-1998) married Frank Paul Troiano and had four children.
- Helen (1923-2001) married Lloyd William Winget and had five children.
- Ann (1926-2003) married Donald Henry Martin, Sr. and had four children.
As you can see, there were only three sons to carry down the Castle name and only Ross and John did so. But some of us, um…half Castles…like myself…can feel Castle-y sometimes.
In later posts I'll expound a little about some of these folks.
Rodgers Siblings of Tingley, Iowa
These are the surviving Rodgers siblings of Ringgold County, Iowa in the late 1890's. The woman on the left, first row is Eudora Rodgers (Price). She was my stepdaughter-in-law's 2nd great grandmother. At this point in her life, she was the widow of Thomas Price, who served in the Civil War as a drummer boy, but was nevertheless wounded in battle. He died of his wounds early in 1882.
The only man in the photo is her brother Norman Rodgers. The other four ladies must be their sisters Mary Elizabeth (b. 1843), Malinda (b. 1848), Lydia (b. 1849) and Festina (b. 1856). There were two other sisters who died before this photo was taken. There was one other brother, Harper N. Rodgers, who lived until 1918. So, altogether there were nine siblings.
I'm hoping someone will tell me which of the four unspecified sisters is which. There is a 13-year spread between the eldest and the youngest. Eudora turned 50 in 1897, and this photo had to have been taken before 20 March, 1900 when she died. If I had to guess, I'd say the woman on the right in front looks the youngest, so she could be Festina. The woman behind her I would pick as the eldest, Mary Elizabeth.
I like this photo for the differing dresses on the ladies, especially the one on the upper left with the matador shoulders–she even has the slight hint of a smile, like the sister on the front right does. That was a rarity in these formal studio photographs of the time.
It's Labor Day weekend–how appropriate for starting a labor of love. I've finally jumped on the blogging bandwagon–a few years late but zero dollars short. This will be about my trip down the rabbit hole of studying Family History; unlike some others in this hobby, I consider the difference between the "Genealogy" and "Family History" insignificant.
My 20-plus-year quest to find as many ancestors, aunts and uncles, and cousins (close or distant, full or removed, living or dead) has yielded some fascinating results as well as a whole boatload of mysteries still to be solved. I've been swinging the sledgehammer to break some of those brick walls down, so I'm hoping to get some help from my readers.
My specialty and strongest interest is in collecting old photographs and ephemera.
My research recently has branched out from my own relatives to those of in-laws of mine and spouses of relatives. Right at the moment I'm concentrating on family members of my stepson and his wife, hoping to have a book ready by this coming Christmas.
Here is a partial list of the surnames I'm working on, in no particular order:
Winget, Castle, Carson, Littlejohn, Boggs, Gray, Haye, Neubauer, Grochowski, Loiry, Fairweather, Merrill, Price, Windhusen, Adams, Gleeson, Theilig, Lemaire, Braband, Locker, Dalton, Tanner, Durham, Anderson, Gray, Knopsnyder, Gabriel, Altendorf, Rydzewski, Steiper, Alfs and Lawrence.
First of all, a quick thanks to Lisa Louise Cooke at lisalouisecooke.com and her Genealogy Gems empire–(dare I call it that?)–for inspiring me.
I look forward to this adventure, and I invite you to enjoy it with me.
~ Steve Winget

Getting around Taxi's (like all things Seychelles) are expensive. From the Barbarons to Victoria is 100 Rupees each way for tourists (but the locals told me they would pay more like 25 rupees). Why not try the bus into Victoria. The Barbarons has a stop outside and the number 9 to Victoria and the number 11 return run each hour. The bus fare - a princely sum of 3 rupees each way !!!!
Check for holidays/ Visit the marketplace-- we heard it was amazing, but make sure to check whether it is a Saints Day, as each Island has its own saint, and on that day everything is closed!

Most of the normal baryonic matter of the Universe at high and at low redshift is found in the space between galaxies. The study of this matter at low redshift has required access to ultraviolet spectroscopic space observatories. HST and FUSE have revealed that at low redshift of the baryons reside in the cool photoionized IGM traced by the Lyman α forest while another might exist in the warm portion of the warm‐hot IGM. Evidence for the warm gas is provided by some of the O VI absorbers, the Ne VIII absorbers and very broad Lyman alpha absorbers. Understanding the physical conditions in these absorbers is important for reliably determining their baryonic content. The low z IGM is likely to play a crucial role in the evolution of the of the baryons found in galaxies.

12 Angry Men at the Pasadena Playhouse
Twelve Angry Men unfolds in a New York City courtroom on a sweltering August evening as a jury is filed into a deliberation room. They are tasked with determining the verdict in a murder case in which a young man is accused of killing his father and faces the death penalty if found guilty. These dozen nameless men find themselves in the role of potential executioner, but first they must face themselves, their biases and their own sense of justice. What starts as an open-and-shut case soon twists into an edge of your seat drama as each juror begins to question how he should cast their vote.
This powerful and engaging production will be presented with a cast of 6 black and 6 white actors.
First created as a 1954 teleplay for the Studio One anthology television series, TWELVE ANGRY MEN was aired as a CBS live production on September 20, 1954. The following year, it was adapted by Rose as a stage play. In 1957 it was rewritten again as a feature film and directed by Sidney Lumet. Starring Henry Fonda, the film received three Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture. Over the years, the play has received several noted revivals including a 2004 Broadway production starring Boyd Gaines and Philip Bosco and a 2007 US national tour starring George Wendt and Richard Thomas. And in 1997, TWELVE ANGRY MEN returned to the small screen in a new adaptation directed by William Friedkin, which included some modernizations to the script, and a cast led by George C. Scott and James Gandolfini.
By Reginald Rose via the Pasadena Playhouse

Causality is a curious thing. We learn it at a young age, but for some the lesson never totally takes. It's a simple formula: "Don't do x or y will happen." Or, even…"If you do x then y will result." You get the idea…
But is that how life really functions? Much of our understanding of what it means to be rational and scientific derives from a beginning point of rational and scientific inquiry — the 17th century transformation grandly labeled "The Scientific Revolution". In this sense the origins of science are rooted in a linear, mechanical, mathematical and, ultimately, de-spiritualized vision of nature. In an essay in Edge entitled "Breaking the Galilean Spell" Stuart A. Kauffman from the University of Calgary challenges these assumptions, arguing for the legitimacy of phenomena that are "emergent" (i.e. incalculable based on what is already given).
I have written about ideas like emergence and the spiritual vs. scientific divide before, using the term vitalism in relationship to these ideas. In an importance sense, emergence and vitalism are synonyms. They are, as suggested by the philosopher of science Georges Canguilhem, more moral than methodological imperatives. Kauffman argues in his interesting little essay (derived from a book…) that there is a dire ethical need to understand nature and science through new metaphors and paradigms. Our survival may depend on it.

GM and Chrysler Post Double-Digit Sales Gains, Ford Sales Up 7%
TheStreet) --
(GM) and
Chrysler posted double-digit sales gains in November, while
(F) said its sales rose 7%. Overall industry sales rose about 7%, Ford estimated, as the auto industry continued to lead the U.S. economy.
"November was fairly typical," with strong gains towards the end of the month, said Ford analyst Eric Merkle, on the Ford sales call. He said the "market (is) experiencing a good deal of resilience, particularly as we compare to October."
GM said sales rose 13.7% to 212,060, the highest November total in six years, while Chrysler said November sales rose 16% to 142,275 units, the group's best November sales since 2007.
At GM, retail sales rose 19%, while fleet sales declined 3%. Chevrolet sales rose 12.5% to 145,089 units. Silverado sales rose 12.1% to 34,386. Cadillac sales rose 12.6% to 16,172. Buick sales rose 13.4% to 15,072. GMC sales rose 19.8% to 35,727. Chevrolet car sales rose 19% with Malibu up 40.9% to 14,405.
"November sales were strong at all four of our brands, and demand was robust for everything from cars to crossovers to the industry's newest and best full-size pickups," said Kurt McNeil, GM vice president, U.S. sales operations, in a prepared statement. "The sheer number of award-winning new models we have helped us grow faster than the industry for the second month in a row.
"We feel good about the direction of the economy and our own momentum," McNeil said. "The economy is creating jobs and household wealth. Energy costs are dropping and credit is available and affordable. All of this bodes well for future growth."
At Ford, sales rose 7% to 190,449 units. Retail sales rose 9%. Passenger car sales rose 6% while truck sales rose 17%, as F-Series sales totaled 65,501, toppingd 60,000 units for the seventh straight months. Fusion sales rose 51% to 22,839."We continued to see sales increases across our full family of vehicles -- particularly with our passenger cars and utilities in conquest coastal markets -- helping us post our best November retail sales performance since 2004," said John Felice, vice president, U.S. marketing, sales and service, in a prepared statement. "Fusion and Fiesta were particular standouts, setting November records, and Ford trucks maintained their strong selling pace." At Chrysler, Jeep brand sales rose 30% to lead the group: Sales of 45,415 marked the brand's best November ever. The new Jeep Cherokee sold 10,169 units in its first full month on sale. Ram pickup sales rose 22% to 31,255. Chrysler brand sales rose 12% to 21,024. Dodge sales rose 4% to 41,506. Meanwhile, Volkswagen sales declined 16.3% to 30,727 units. While down from a year ago, the total is Volkswagen's second highest since 1973.
"Volkswagen is now operating at a new level not seen in 40 years, and with the strength of our line-up, we are confident we will close out a second consecutive year with over 400,000 vehicles," said Jonathan Browning, CEO, Volkswagen Group of America, in a prepared statement. "Having doubled sales from 2009 and with the strong investments in North American investment plans, we are confident that we have a strong base for future growth."

The elegant new, next-generation ModusTM 6450 wraps the best in functionality, fun and fashion in a sleek crystal-blue form factor. The Modus is designed for consumers looking for a conventional noise-cancelling Bluetooth headset with the capability to stream stereo audio. It can be worn as a mono-style headset for placing and receiving calls and readily transforms into a stereo Bluetooth headset when connected to the included stereo ear bud headset for an enhanced audio experience.
The 6450 improves on its predecessor, the HM3500, with a premium headphone set, voice command functionality, and EQ settings. Rather than just simple voice prompts, the Modus 6450 implements voice commands and EQ settings through a separate Voice Command Button on the headset, distinguishing it from most competitors that must use a multifunction button for voice command start.
The Modus 6450 is compatible with its own specially-designed Android application, the Samsung Bluetooth FreeSync – equipped with several features that set it apart from other applications, including EQ settings for stereo mode, LED settings, and language selection. The FreeSync application allows for text-to-speech messaging and caller ID services and the ability to enable or disable Bluetooth headset functions through the application.

This review is from: Samsung Modus HM6450 Blue Bluetooth Stereo Headset
Pros: Uhknown
Cons: Arrived D.O.A. I won't take a charge.
Did you find this review helpful?
This review is from: Samsung Modus HM6450 Blue Bluetooth Stereo Headset
Pros: Solid packaging...?
Cons: Very flimsy, and poor materials.
Other Thoughts: I didn't even get to turn this thing on; as soon as I took it out of the box, I put it in my ear, pushed the button on the outside, and before it even turned on, the casing fell apart. Inspection revealed that two plastic hooks had broken clean off. I can't speak to the functionality quality, as Newegg didn't have any replacements in stock (so I got a refund), but the poor quality of the plastic was extremely disappointing.

Fell Apart
This review is from: Samsung Modus HM6450 Blue Bluetooth Stereo Headset
Pros: Didn't get far enough into owning this thing to test it at all.
Cons: Blue faceplate fell off right off of the box. Would not stap snapped into place. RMA'ed. Limited Return ONLY, so same item over and over until it doesn't suck, or eventually you MAY get Newegg credit.
Other Thoughts: Limited Return ONLY products always suck like this. Should have known better.

P!O!S! Do Not Buy
This review is from: Samsung Modus HM6450 Blue Bluetooth Stereo Headset
Pros: its samsung
Cons: you would think that being a samsung would mean something. the voice recognition does not work, the firmware is junk. Oh and no refunds :( I saw that but didnt think it would be so junky. I lost this battle, they are sending me another one. so we shall see. but if the firmware bites as much as the first, i will have to put it down as well
Other Thoughts: n/a

This review is from: Samsung Modus HM6450 Blue Bluetooth Stereo Headset
Pros: Reliability of connection
Cons: Be nice if could charge without disconnecting phones
Other Thoughts: Made using the phone a more tolerable excercise (old school guy here who dislikes onscreen keyboards etc) voice commands and text entry plus handsfree phoneage are great and this unit does it all well

Great features and competitive price
This review is from: Samsung Modus HM6450 Blue Bluetooth Stereo Headset
Pros: Its light and seems very durable. Paired up almost immediately with my Droid X. Downloaded the "app" for the product....jury is still out on its utility. Noise reduction is very good, sound pickup (from your voice) seems very accurate.
Cons: None....so far. Haven't used the "stereo" option since I don't use my droid as an MP3 player.

About Me Enthusiast
I bought this for my wife for Christmas. She loves it! She's an Apple user with both an iPhone and an Mac at work. This fit right in. All her apps pictures and music transferred right over, and she's been using it everyday very happily. I think that in time it will almost certainly replace her netbook. As a non-apple person the price felt somewhat steep, but considering how much use it has gotten in just a week, I would say it has been a very positive purchase.
By The iPad man
from Santa Cruz
About Me Power User
This is probably the best iPad Apple has ever made. I used to doubt that the mini size was a good idea but now that I've used it I can say with confidence that this is the perfect form factor. The retina display is incredibly sharp and the battery continues to exceed my expectations, sometimes tapping out at 12-13 hours. It's lightweight and slim and looks great in white. Great ipad!
Fast delivery and great customer service when ordering

The gum-snapper. The heavy-handed perfume-sprayer. The close-talker. Chances are, if you work with one of these "types," he or she drives you completely nuts. It's like how does gum-snapper not know how annoying she is?
But, that's the thing about pet peeves. While most of us are quick to point out the flaws in others, we can be completely unaware of our own. Gum snapper probably has no idea she's driving you crazy because she's too focused on the fact that you CAN'T STOP USING YOUR OUTDOOR VOICE.
To help us all become a little more self-aware in the office, and because the second week in October is National Pet Peeves Week, we asked our social media community to name their biggest workplace annoyances. Based on some of the more popular responses we got, here's a look at the many things you might be doing to drive your co-workers nuts. (Seriously, the "Chicken Dance" ringtone was only funny the first time. And even then, it wasn't all that funny.)
1. "People hovering at my desk" – Julia E., via Facebook
2. "People who are always 'putting out fires'… I think folks should calm down a little and just get stuff done. Oh and meetings, meetings, meetings … with too many people. Really? When was the last 10 person meeting that was truly productive?" — Sarah O., via Facebook
3. "Gossip/drama! Keep it to yourself! Don't get involved! If someone starts to say something negative about a co-worker, tell them, 'I'm sorry you have difficulties with X, I hope you two can work things out. I'm sure it's none of my business. Please don't involve me because we are all friends here.'" — Leslie N., via Facebook
4. "Micro-managing." — Sergio C., via Facebook
5. "People who enter your office, see you speaking on the phone w/ a customer and plop down and wait listening to the whole conversation while doing distracting things like picking up items, photos, etc. from your desk. Or even worse, when they try to talk interrupt your call and ask you questions while you are still on the phone. Rude, rude, rude." — Tracey E., via Facebook
6. "The microwave and fridge is near my desk, [but] why do people have to place their items on my desk?" — Cassandra B., via Facebook
7. "People who do not do their job well, but complain about their situation. You control your own future." – @MsMichelleTyler, via Twitter
8. "When people chew gum loudly and pop it!!! Uggggh drives me bonkers!" — Paula C., via Facebook
9. "My pet peeve is people who show up late for meetings. I was always taught that 5 min. early is on time!" — Em V., via Facebook
10. "People who use and wear scented products in enclosed workspaces which can literally kill a person who is chemically sensitive. Employers need to embrace and enforce fragrance free policies. I consider this the new 2nd hand smoke issue." — Hedwig R., via Facebook
11. "Emails with blank subject lines, or even worse, one that is so long it belongs in an actual email, not the subject line." — @Robzilla28, via Twitter
12. "People who complain about something that someone else did wrong but don't do anything to fix it." — @chadjedwards, via Twitter
13. "Favoritism! Especially from the higher echelons of an organization." -- Tanya W., via Facebook
What are your biggest workplace pet peeves?

Nursing School Drug Test?
- 0Sep 29, '07 by bluelightNursing school requires a drug test. I understand it is very comprehensive and covers many drugs. I take prescibed hydrocodone for pain, will this be a problem?
- 0Sep 29, '07 by ♪♫ in my ♥Quote from bluelightJust be sure to tell them before they run the test. Give them a copy of your prescription.Nursing school requires a drug test. I understand it is very comprehensive and covers many drugs. I take prescibed hydrocodone for pain, will this be a problem?
- 0Sep 29, '07 by APBT momWe had to be drug tested at the nursing school I'm in. The company gave us a paper to write our information on and there was a spot to list any medication that you had took in the last 30 days along with a spot to put how much, who prescribed it and the MD's number. They told to also put any OTC, herbal medications, food with poppy seeds,and teas (green and something else) that we had took in the last 30 days because they also can affect a drug screen.
- 0Sep 30, '07 by EDnurse2009Don't worry about the drug test. I also take prescription drugs and I was never notified of any problem with my drug test. If anything shows up on the test, they will call you and you can give them your prescription information. This happened to a few students in my class (one taking pain meds after dental surgery) and it was all cleared up after they gave them their doctor's contact info.
- 0Oct 2, '07 by Glad2BAnurseIm confused and worried. I was accepted in to ther LVN-RN transition program that starts this month. I take antidepressants and im seeing a psychiatrist today for anxiety. DO you think I will not be able to continue with school? DO they hold that against you. I am really worried. Should I call the school and let them know? I guess i am freaking out and i am ashamed to have to take meds for depression/anxiety. Someone please advise?n Thanks
- 0Oct 2, '07 by Meriwhen, ASN, BSN, RN Senior ModeratorAs someone who's taken more than her share of drug tests for work reasons (pre-employment and random tests, not because they suspected anything ), when it comes time to take your test:
1. Be sure to tell them EVERYTHING you've taken in the last couple of weeks, even if it's a OTC or herbal medicine. Leave nothing out, not even those Flintstone chewables. Don't worry about being judged--it's not their business why you're taking what you have to take. Besides, most places are usually looking just for illegal drugs and not everything you're taking (but don't hold me to that--check with your school for the final word).
2. If you're on prescription medication, bring a copy of the prescriptions if you can, or at least the bottles. You could also have your doctor write a note verifying that you're on these medications.
3. If you think one of the medicines that you're on will possibly/definitely have an adverse effect on your test, talk to them BEFORE the test. It is a lot less trouble for both you and the school if you're upfront about what medicines you're on before the test, than trying to address an unexpected false positive result later. Trust me on that one.Last edit by Meriwhen on Oct 2, '07
- 0Oct 2, '07 by Glad2BAnursethanks for the advice
- 0Oct 2, '07 by eldragonThey aren't testing for prescription drugs, they are testing for cocaine and marijuana. If you haven't used those particular drugs, don't sweat it.
Oh, and I'm beginning my fifth and last block of an LPN program today, we've had 3 drug tests so far.
So don't ever do any recreational drugs while you intend to enter or complete a nursing program.

What Is A Good Business To Start
Looking for what is a good business to start can be very exciting, especially if you realize that you need to earn as much money as you can in such a short period of time. Right now, many financial analysts are saying that our global economy is going to plummet to a state of hyperinflation soon. Therefore, you need to earn a big amount of money as soon as you can so that you can be ready for anything that will happen in the future because of our volatile economy.

Being a freelancer may encourage you to do the business on your own and surely, use your own name for people to remember you. Whether you decide to hire your own employees, outsource other freelancers or even sell the business one day, make sure that the name you think of is perfect for you and suits the service and products you provide.
What Is A Good Business To Start In This Economy – Be Unique
Aside from learning what is a good business to start in this economy, you also need to do your research on possible company names that are unique, catchy and easy for possible customers to remember. If the company name that you want is already registered, then you may need to think of another one because you won't be able to open a checking account. You should also check for the availability of the domain name so that registering will be easier.
What Is A Good Business To Start – Outsourcing
Freelance is one of the best business to start and to make your company a success, you need to have your own website that will go well with your chosen business name. Make sure that you have a portfolio that will showcase all your best works because this is really what your clients want to see.
As a website owner, it is very important for you to keep track of the number of unique visitors that access your site daily. There are many tracking tools that you can purchase or download for free and all you need to do is check the world wide web for such software.
Advertising your website is one of the most crucial steps in making sure that it gets a substantial number of hits daily. Once your site is done and already running, you can submit it to design galleries so that your name and your web designs are advertised for everybody to see.
What Is A Good Business To Start In This Economy – One That Has A Website
We all know that freelancing is the answer to what is a good business to start in this economy. Building your own website is one of the essential steps in making your business a success and in order to show its credibility, you can start your own blog. Showcase your talents and skills to attract more clients, since they will see you have a background knowledge on such business.
This is just one of the many answers when you think about what is a good business to start in this economy. However, you have to keep in mind that your goal is to earn the biggest amount of money that you can in the shortest period of time possible. You have to be able to save up a lot today so that you will be able to secure your tomorrow because many financial analysts have pointed out an imminent hyperinflation happening soon. There is no need to panic because all you need to do is focus and make a living today and not years later. What business to start, one that pays of course! So stop asking what is a good business to start and start one online like the one below with a proven system.
