How we increased our conversion rate by 11% in 10 minutes
27 Feb 2013
Note: The tl;dr version is that we ate our own dogfood and used Easy Product Tours to increase our conversion rate, and so can you.
After months of hard work, we finally launched Easy Product Tours a few weeks back. It was a very very silent launch. The only marketing we did was sending an email to a list of our freelancing clients, who we thought would benefit from running guided product tours on their own websites.
The response to that email was much greater than expected and we were pleasantly surprised at the amount of traffic that was coming our way. Apparently, word-of-mouth was a pretty solid way to obtain traffic. The interesting thing about this was that we knew that most of those who visited ran their own sites and were smack in the middle of our target market. So we should have been seeing a decent number of signups right?
Something was seriously wrong. Our conversion rate was much, much lower than we expected it to be. Something had to be done. But first we had to find out what the problem was. Was our landing page design inherently bad, or were people simply not reading what was on the page? After all, people do not really 'read' much on the web. They only skim entire pages looking for stuff that interests them.
We assumed that this was our main problem, and that the landing page design was not much of a contributing factor. (Ofcourse, we could redesign it and it could increase our conversion, but then so could many other changes). So how do we get people to read what was on our landing page? If only we had some kind of way to direct a visitors focus exactly where we wanted it to go...
And that's when it struck us. We had exactly what we wanted right under our noses. This would also be an opportunity to see the real-world impact of an Easy Product Tours guided tour. It was decided that I would be in charge of whipping up a tour that would be deployed on our landing page, and would highlight the features of Easy Product Tours.
Determined to prove that our assumption was correct, I fired up Chrome, loaded our landing page and launched the Easy Product Tours editor. Ten minutes later, I had a tour that was ready to be deployed to our landing page.
Since we wanted to do this properly and measure the impact of the guided tour, we had to split test our landing page with and without the tour (unfortunately, the node-modules page does not list any split testing libraries for node.js, so we had to write one ourselves, but thats a story for another day).
As of yesterday the split test had been running on our landing page for two whole weeks, so we decided to compile the results of the test. But before we get to the verdict, let's define our split test parameters:
Control: Our normal landing page.
Variant: Our normal landing page with an auto-playing, guided tour. You can see this in action on our landing page now.
Goal: Click the 'Get Started' button.
The Verdict:
The conversion rate for the variant was 10.69% higher than the conversion rate for control. Unfortunately, I have been asked not reveal the exact numbers here, but according to this excellent split test significance calculator, our split test was deemed statistically significant. So as of today, all those who visit our landing page will be seeing the auto-playing tour.
You too can easily increase your site's conversion rate within minutes by using Easy Product Tours. So what are you waiting for? Get started now!

text: Hello, Im new here. I was hoping to get some help with a problem. I need to find the Induced Voltage in a coil in terms of the number of coils N, the length l, and time t. I think when all said and done the equation should look close to: NlcB0*sqrt(1-cos(kl)), which is the induced RMS. The frequency is given as 1.0*10^9 Hz. I know that Faraday's Law is-H*(d(flux)/dt) and flux is the integral of vector B dot vector dA. dA is d(y)d(z)i^ + d(x)d(z)j^ + d(x)d(y)k^. So, basically, how do I get from Faraday's Law to that?

This grape grows wild here in Missouri, and throughout the eastern United States from Florida to Wisconsin. The zones listed above are not really correct, I am sure it is hardy to zone 5 and maybe 4. It blooms and fruits earlier than the very similar winter grape (V.cinerea) which is also native here. The fruit on the winter grapes is not usable until after a frost in late autumn. One way to distinguish the plants is to look for lobed leaves...the summer grape will have some, and the winter grape will not.

Who: Bob Dylan
When: 7:30 tonight
Where: Wells Fargo Arena, Des Moines
Tickets: $49.50, dahlstickets.com
IOWA CITY, IA. — When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose, Bob Dylan still rasps in concert nearly 100 nights each year.
Dylan, now 71, probably wasnt contemplating the finer points of bankruptcy law when in 1965 he first recorded Like a Rolling Stone what many still regard as the best rock song ever written.
Fortunately, Dylan has had no shortage of studious fans who have helped turn his catalog of more than 500 songs into the most scrutinized, mythologized body of work in popular music.
Patrick Bauers students at the University of Iowa College of Law often dont even realize when Dylan has crept into their education.
Since 1979, Bauer has taught bankruptcy, mortgage and agricultural law at the university, with Dylan woven into his lectures much as the icon is woven into the rest of his everyday life.
Its subtler than the most identifiable lines from, say, Mr. Tambourine Man or Blowin in the Wind.
When discussing farmers attempted lynching of judges during the Great Depression of the 1930s: There was music in the cafes at night, and revolution in the air lifted from Tangled Up in Blue.
When talking loss of consortium damages: Can you cook and sew, make flowers grow? from Is Your Love in Vain?
In an orientation class for new students: Gotta get up near the teacher if you can, if you wanna learn anything from Floater (Too Much to Ask).
For the law schools annual Equal Justice Foundation Auction, Bauer also has held Friday afternoon salons at his home in which up to four people can participate in a deep discussion of canonical Dylan (the musicians July 1965-May 1966 creative burst).
Bauer will be in the seventh row tonight at Wells Fargo Arena in downtown Des Moines for his 28th Dylan show, hardly an amazing statistic among die-hard Dylanologists or Bobsessives.
One of his former students who remembers well the classroom Dylan quotes, David Leshtz, now a Legal Aid attorney in Ottumwa, will be seated beside him.
Bauer, 61, one of Dylans fellow Minnesotans, grew up the son of a farm feed salesman in the Minneapolis suburb of Plymouth. He loved music and tried to play fiddle, but quickly realized his aptitude tended toward law and politics.
It was the Kennedys and the eras folk protest songs that drew him to Dylan in the first place.
By the late 60s, Bauer wanted to be Bob Dylan, he said. A photo from 1969 bears him out: Bauer sports a Dylan-frizzed hairdo and matching scarf while standing next to college chum Mike Kaloyanides (now an ethnomusicologist) when both were students at Wesleyan University in Connecticut.
About that same time he first heard a bootleg of the revered 1966 Dylan concert in Manchester, England, in which a fan shouts Judas! at the singer for turning his back on folk in favor of electric, amplified rock music.
It was the most beautiful thing I think Ive ever heard, he said of the show.
Bauer has even been a board member of New Pony Records (newpony records.org), a longtime grass-roots effort to convince Dylans record company, Sony, to issue more of the fan-favorite bootleg recordings as official live albums.
Its criminal for this stuff not to be available, the law professor said.
Bauer in many ways typifies the baby boomer experience of growing up with Dylan.
Its nice to have something you can feel connected to for so long, said Bauers oldest son, Kevin, 29, a social worker in Washington, D.C., who bonded with Dad while standing in line at Dylan concerts.
Kevin equated it to a Hawkeyes football family that traces its milestones through the Evashevski, Fry and Ferentz eras.
Maybe his generation, Kevin mused, is missing out on the connective tissue that only an over-arching figure such as Dylan can provide.
Little about the Dylan mystique has been neat and tidy much like the tumultuous decades that have provided the backdrop. The title of his 35th studio album to be released Sept. 11, Tempest, seems apt from so many angles. (Dylan already has dismissed the Shakespeare comparisons.)
Dylan was given the Presidential Medal of Freedom in May. The New Yorkers Jonah Lehrer was fired this summer for making up Dylan quotes in a new book even as Dylan himself has weathered continual criticism for liberally borrowing material for lyrics, paintings and even his autobiography.
A couple of years ago in a Los Angeles Times interview, Joni Mitchell lambasted her peer as nothing less than a plagiarist and full-blown deception.
Bill Schechter from Sudbury, Mass., is among those who describe Dylan as his generations game-changing Walt Whitman.
The retired high school history teachers recent summer road trip illustrates how Dylan is responsible for what might be the unlikeliest boost to Iowa tourism.
Schechter and his Harvard psychologist pal Larry Seidman ended up stopping in Iowa on their 4,700-mile, 16-state odyssey in 18 days to trace landmarks from Dylans childhood and his songs.
They were searching not so much for facts but sort of historical vibrations, said Schechter, 65.
If you dont script it too much, you find interesting places, added Seidman, 62.
They trekked to such sites as the open pit mine near Dylans childhood home in Hibbing, Minn., and chronicled the odyssey at searchingforbob .wordpress.com.
There was some real experience and perceptions that found their way into (Dylans) songs and made him, I think, sympathetic to people who had tough lives, Schechter said. It wasnt just opportunism.
Iowa initially was just a necessary stretch of road between Minnesota and the Delta. But on a whim they pulled off into the Amana Colonies and became intrigued by the former religious communal villages settled in the 1850s a utopian vision a century before Dylan.
We were reminded that the 1960s was just the latest manifestation of this very American impulse, the pair wrote on their blog.
Schechter and Seidman will cap their season of contemplating Dylan on Sept. 7 with a concert in Holyoke, Mass.
Dylan in his relentless troubadour lifestyle and refusal to retire, to keep writing songs that wont top Like a Rolling Stone, still has something to teach aging baby boomers.
Forever Young isnt the right idea, Bauer said, citing yet another song.
He thought for a moment.
Your vitality can be maintained, he said, but it requires some kind of redeployment.
Nearly half a century later, Dylans How does it feel? remains a crucial American question.

Rose Levy Beranbaum is a kitchen chemist extraordinaire--this, after all, is the woman who wrote her master's thesis on the effects of sifting on the quality of yellow cake. In The Cake Bible, she explains the science behind types of leavening, the merits (or not) of sifting, melting chocolate, preheating ovens, and more. There are precise and detailed instructions for intricate wedding cakes as well as cakes that can be mixed and in the oven in five minutes. In addition, nutrition information is included with every recipe. Cake scientist Beranbaum doesn't forget the art, either; pencil drawings teach novice bakers how to create a garden full of flowers from royal icing and mushrooms from piped meringue. It's no wonder that the International Association of Culinary Professionals picked The Cake Bible as their cookbook of the year for 1988--this book has something to teach bakers at every level.
Beranbaum, a talented baker and former owner of a New York cooking school, has produced a definitive work that will excite accomplished cooks and beginners alike. She covers basic, "foolproof" cakes as well as showcase cakes, accompanying these with pages and pages of adornments of all types; her instructions are impressively precise but unintimidating. She also includes lengthy discussions on ingredients and equipment and concludes with a special section on the chemistry of cake baking and on making a professional wedding cakes. An essential purchase. JS

Aaaaaaaaaaaaargh! I replied yesterday, but I must've forgotten to hit send!
Anyway -- great work, Jazz. The life drawings look good, especially the last one where you did the shading. If you want to make the torso look like it's leaning forward, you probably need to put less shading on it, so that it looks like the surface is more fully in the light. It does seem like you have some proportion issues, particularly the leg on the second one. Remember to measure all the parts against each other.
The sketches from imagination are cool, too. Some of them look a little stiff in the spine, though. Time to potato sack it! Use the construction of the potato sack to understand the torso twists and folds, and PUSH it.
Keep drawing!
So, seems i'm not the only one who is missing posts in this thread! 100% sure I made a reply, but i cant see it now lol
Hey Jazz, everything ok these days? Good sketching, fetus already pointed out the anatomy issues so not going to bother My favorite one is the lady in red, really well done Keep it up, Shea
Must...post!! >_< So sorry that I haven't! I really took off time!
funfetus: That is AWESOME! Potato sack it!! Yeah, I think I'll try that! ^_^ Thanks for the advice and the visuals!! I'll try to measure better. I should probably attempt to get closer sometimes. That might help me.
shea: It's been hectic lately. Since my job and a BUNCH of family and friend-related stuff (and school, ugh.), I've been frazzled. But I'd been sketching things, just not to my expectations. Thanks a bunch! ^_^
So, as said above, it's been hectic. Look at how long it took me to post in here! Seems like I'm less dedicated, but I feel really guilty for not being able to participate so much. I'll just show a few things from the past...several days. Not much this time! I have stuff today, but I'll wait to show 'em! Bah to no colouring yet! >_<
Playing with MS Paint and Photoshop. Sometimes I go overboard with overlapping lines and such. I ruin the picture! But some parts manage to stay in tact.

Jazz, have you been studying anatomy? I see such a difference in your work.
You go, girl.....
alesoun!! I haven't seen you in a while! I gotta stop by your SB!
Thanks SO much! I've been doing a lot of live stuff, but only briefly, people on the ferry to and from work! ^_^
I've been busy and reaally blocked, Jazz! I'm trying to see what I can do on the CHOW thread for Gangus. Only my second ever acrylic painting, though, so my hopes aren't too high on that!
Looks to me that the way you see things is changing......
Wow, Jazz. A few of the heads on this update are on a whole other level. The first, second, and especially the girls with the glasses, are excellent. The glasses girl reads really well as a top view, and the first couple of heads have excellent form.
Your gestures are still looking a bit stiff. Try using one or two long, flowing lines to get down the overall "swing" of the figure. Check out this Glenn Vilppu material for some examples.
Excellent progress! I know you don't have a lot of time, but keep posting when you can, it's great to see.
I had this freakin' nice post and NOW IT'S GONE!!
Well I'll reiterate. I'm 27 today, now with a vein throbbing in my head.
alesoun: I hate the blocked feeling. But I'm rooting for you with the CHOW!! I think it's so awesome that you're doing it!
funfetus: Thanks a lot regarding the faces and expressions! I actually have that link, and I think I got it from you a while ago!! But I forgot about it, so thanks for reminding me! Gah, will I never slip out of the stiffness? ;_;
Phew...-_- These ones are the rest of my last batch. I have more but I'll worry about them later.

Character drawings are always so personal. The second one is of a character I had for a few years. I got such surprisingly unhelpful crits from great artists, that I was discouraged with even showing my characters. Now I draw heads. I just hope I have their expressions decent.

Happy birthday, Jazz! (I just hit 28 myself, so I've got you beat. Or you've got me beat. )
Good work -- your sketches are showing more looseness now, and the poses are getting better. The first figure on the second page in particular has a nice feel to it. It's always good to get some action going on between the hips and the shoulders. "Contrapposto", I think it's called.
The characters look cool. Your "constructed" heads are always pretty good. I notice that there's a lot of sketchiness going on in the lines, though. I'd suggest working out your structure very lightly and then, when you know for sure where you're going to put your final line, "ghost" it over the page a few times, tracing the line without putting your pencil down, then hit that one line nice and smooth.
Good to see you still posting, Jazz -- keep it up!
Hey, funfetus! Thanks a lot for the "ghosting" and "Contrapposto" advice!! I think I've grown a habit of drawing every line with GREAT contrast so I could see what I was doing. o_o Only more lately have I been lighting things up, letting my eyes adjust. So I'll try again! ...Doesn't help that I used a medium-thick pen. Heh. XD
Oooooh, and thank you for the b-day wish!! ^____^
Belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Compelling facial expressions in post #159! They look like what a classical animator would do. Impressed you tried different head angles with expressions. I think I'll try that as an exercise sometime.
That kidbot/Pinochio-like design you have in post #149 looks interesting. Is that his pet bird? I like to call the bird Chirpy for some reason. I'd be curious too see how you can draw him in different gestures. His designs looks kinda fun to pose. I like the big smile head next to him too. Maybe another sidekick?
Since you do a lot of gesture drawings, have you tried using a soft, dull pointed graphite? Try it out. Make swooshing lines for the line of action and flow.
checkout this artist's work: http://www.drawingforce.com/gallery/...g_gallery.html
Thanks a lot, FlipMcgee!! Hee hee!! I'm not sure if the bird is a pet or not, but he could be! Chirpy?? Ha ha ha! I bet he'd hate that name, all the more reason to call him that! XD
I have yet to try softer graphite. Maybe I should take a look at the art store for some! And that art in the link you sent is REALLY good! So interesting!!
This has been a taxing week. I bet I've said "taxing" more than enough. Always discouraging myself, never looking to see how I'm progressing. Well, tonight I feel as though I really have been making steps forward! Even with the bit of time I have to draw things.
I don't have time to COLOUR things yet, but BOY do I miss colouring with my tablet. >_< While I'm still REALLY busy (actually, seems like I'll never truly have rest), I'll show more sketches from the ferry, and some just conjured up in my head!

Didn't really want to show this one because of the hideous faces. BUT, I do kinda like how the legs are shaped. Proportion is still strange, so I need more references and just more practice. Heh...remind me to look at snouts and muzzles some more. XD I was never one to do that. Shame. -_-
Attachment 183680
This costume must be the best one I made in a looooong while. I sure need help!!
Attachment 183681
Great update, Jazz! Your life-sketches are looking better and better, and your characters look good as always. I really like the first and second pages. Really natural poses. You mentioned problems with proportion -- the thing I'm seeing most is that you tend to draw arms too long. The elbow should hit right at the navel level if the arm is hanging straight down. If the arm is up or out or whatever, just imagine swinging it down to the side in an arc, and see if the elbow lines up right. You also tend to draw heads too short from front-to-back. Everyone seems to do that for a while -- I still do it when sketching from life sometimes. The head, in profile, should fit approximately into a square, not counting the nose and chin. Also, bring the flesh under the jaw down a bit. Your jawline is right, but the flesh rounds out a bit below the bone. Everything else about those faces looks good, though.
By the way, I finished Cowboy Bebop -- thanks for the recommendation, it was pretty good. I'm watching Evangelion now -- you kinda got me restarted on the anime.
Anyway, keep it up, Jazz -- you're doing great, and it's good to see you posting when you can.
Thanks a lot, funfetus! I really appreciate you showing me where the problem areas lie! Yeah, I keep forgetting how long the head is in profile! As for the arms, I normally do the arch rotation thing! How weird! I guess I was doing it right! I also think I forgot to do it this time. -_-; And I think I got some wrong info from somewhere about where the elbow should start! Hate when that happens.
Awesome about the poses looking more natural! I'm on my way!
took a quick look through the sb and very nice progress

OldNoobie, thank you so much!! ^_^ I'm glad to have a visitor after my being absent!
The weeks have been quite busy and hectic! I'm surprised the scribbles I'll be showing you even make sense! It's not been my favourite few weeks for progress, but here we go!
Oh, and I'll be taking figure drawing class again! Hooray!! ^_^ What are some good drawing mediums...graphite...something'r'others? Kneaded erasers? If you guys have an idea, I'd love to know!
The only real colouring I did lately...well, except something I put up on DA. I was just too bleh to refine it.
Attachment 191481
Many of these are just done on days that MAY have been the 21st, but I can't remember. XD I'd been rushing, especially on the poses because I sketched them a couple minutes before everybody got onto the ferry. Once they start runnin'... Anyway, not happy with these, overall. But some are pretty nice.

Good drawing media? Pencil, charcoal, chalk, pastels,- whatever floats your boat!
My daughter did a portrait in cosmetics on cartridge paper last year that impressed the Hell out of me.......
......until I realised she'd used MY make-up!
Hey, alesoun! Mmmm, I suppose I'll just have a good pick of some different mediums!
Ha ha!! Oh gosh, that's hilarious about the make-up!! XD You know, that would be neat to try! One day, when I have money to burn, I'll get some cheap stuff and see what I create! I could sure use some interesting backgrounds. XD
If she hasn't thrown it away I'll post it in my sketchbook for you to see later (if she'll let me) The point is that there are all sorts of things to make marks with,- and variety's the spice of life.
I love seeing the way your confidence is growing in your work. All that hard work is certainly paying off!
hey buddy!!
damm, you are a drawing machine, that reminds me that I should draw more hehe
I like your studies ... have you tried doing some more in-depth anatomy studies?
"Dream is not what you see while sleeping ...
It is the thing which does not let you sleep. "
Hey, Bruno! Great to see ya!
Goodness, I haven't done in-depth anatomy studies, mainly because I couldn't for a while. I hadn't made time to. Now I really want to make some time because I haven't touched such studies, plus I haven't coloured or shaded anything worth showing a pidgeon.
And so, this art dump makes me unhappy, for it's the last slew of utter crap after weeks of thinking I'll do something more. No, I didn't get to do more. I worry that I'm getting discouraged by seeing the work of other artists. They do so much good colouring, and I can't seem to do it now. I'm not sure how to get back into feeling good about my art.
Me trying coloured pencils right now is a bad idea. For one thing, when I try to colour stuff traditionally, I have a bad habit of throwing all proportion out of the window. The thing I'm okay with is that I decided to use some different colours, even though I didn't BEGIN to begin a good colouring process.

Ohhhh yes, this one. The woman again. Short calves...is that how you spell it? Again. XD But for once I was practicing with female heads. So that was cool.
Attachment 196498
Jazz, all it will take to improve your colour work is practice! Don't be scared of it. If you mess up, crumple it up and start again. Every mistake is a lesson learned.
Check back in your sketchbook and see just how far you've come....
you have a lot of good work here, would like to see some finished characters, wish i could paint hair like you, thx for the crit on the ship
dude you are improving!! practice does indeed help hu?
your drawings are getting a way better feeling than before ... have you try doing more life studies?
best regards
"Dream is not what you see while sleeping ...
It is the thing which does not let you sleep. "
Yeah, DUDE! Keep on drawing!
Maybe try a simpler colouring technique? Nothing wrong with flat colouring a la comics style. Trying out unfamiliar methods might help get the enthusiasm back. Do you use Color Balance much in Photoshop? It's a good adjustment tool to use to preview different colour relationships.They do so much good colouring, and I can't seem to do it now.
I find that funky portrait of a girl you did in post #147 to be interesting and so with the backsided figure drawing in #172. Sexy!
I see steady improvement, Jazz. Your life gestures are getting better -- looser, more lifelike. Everything else is coming along steadily, too. Don't worry too much about coloring right now. I'm realizing more and more lately that there are kind of "levels" to all this stuff, and each one builds off the previous. Color is one of the later levels. You really need to have solid drawing, with a good knowledge of form and plane changes, plus a good understanding of value before you can make color work. So just keep working on your drawing, and studying anatomy, and it'll come eventually.
The faces on the last page look really good. May I suggest that you get a small mirror, and do studies from your own face? I've been doing that a lot lately, and I'm learning lots of little things that totally eluded me before.
This is a no-picture update because I have nothing worth looking at. Yes, me, the one who's like, "Oh, I'm sure no matter WHAT you put down, it'll be cool with us!" I'm a hypocrite. I'll show some stuff later, though. You guys, and friends all around, have really given me a sense of hope with my drawings! I just want to do things better.
alesoun, you're so right. o_o Thank you!! I really should look back and see how I've progressed. I tend to forget that I AM improving, while I want to keep going.
schlichte, thanks a lot! Yeah, I'd love to finish some stuff up. It's just hard. -_- But there must be SOMETHING I can complete! You're welcome about the crit! Glad to help!
bruno, thank you!! ^_^ I'm my own worst critic yet again. I just don't try to see how far I've come. I really don't notice. >_< I'm soon going to work of life studies again. At the moment I'm making sure school and stuff is taken care of. But I'm going to definitely make time for figure drawing.
FlipMacgee, thanks a lot!! Yes, I think I'll try some other colouring style soon. I just have to do some practice, I suppose. Maybe though, as funfetus said, I should work on tone and such first. I'm having trouble with it. But still...I long to colour! LOL! And hee hee...glad you like those sketches!! ^___^
funfetus, thank you!! o_o That's a really good idea, especially since I get myself overwhelmed with several levels of improvement. I get to a point where I don't know whether I'm coming or going! So maybe I'll take my time with anatomy and form. Also with clothing "anatomy", so to speak. I haven't drawn decent clothes YET!! XD Now that I have my easel, I think it'll be a bit easier for me to work on portrait practice. So I'll definitely try your idea!
This week, I think I'll just work on a bunch of poses from Pose Maniacs...at least till my homework gets done. Oy!!
Alright, missy, you've slacked long enough. Let's see some art!
Yes, funfetus. :3 Hee hee!! ^_^ I have a good excuse of why I haven't shown anything.
SCHOOL!! You wouldn't believe how much work there is to do: five subjects; one slew of co-op job applications; student loan issues; figure drawing class!! I'm about to show everyone my first day (back, after 2 years) at that class! PS: I was sitting down, looking sort of UP at the model. What a neat angle! Makes people look so...superior!!
But first...here's the only thing I managed to colour. How sad that I can't colour yet. I know, I should probably wait till the drawing part is going well, but still! -_-
Attachment 206174
Now, these sketches aren't exactly in order, save for the last three, that's for certain. The rest--there should be 30-second, 1-minute, 2-min and 3-min sketches. I had to freak out the picture shape and dimensions in photoshop, because I took the pictures on an angle.

Genealogy in Acri
If you know (or you think) that your ancestors were from Acri, you could find info about your Italian family at Registrar of Vital Statistics in the City Office or at the parishes.
Registry offices in Calabria and in Cosenza province were established in early 1800: it means that you could find information in Acri registrar as of that date.
Before to start your genealogy research in Acri, we suggest you to read our tips for your search . They are useful to search in Italy and in Acri too.
In the next picture you can see the demographic trends in Acri from the Italian Unification (1861).
It could be important to know if the last name you are investigating is a frequent surname in Acri. As more your surname is common in Acri, as more it could be difficult to find the right info about your ancestors in Acri archives if you have not exact dates.
It could be useful for you to know that some of the most common surnames in Cosenza province are:
Aiello, Barone, Bruno, Caputo, Caruso, Chiappetta, De Luca, De Marco, De Rose, Esposito, Falcone, Ferraro, Filice, Fusaro, Gabriele, Gagliardi, Gallo, Garofalo, Gaudio, Gencarelli, Gentile, Giordano, Greco, Guido, Leone, Longo, Madeo, Marino, Martino, Mazzei, Morrone, Nicoletti, Nigro, Palermo, Perri, Perrone, Porco, Presta, Pugliese, Rizzo, Romano, Ruffolo, Russo, Salerno, Santoro, Spadafora, Sposato, Veltri.
Church archives in Cosenza province may instead contain even older information, but they are far less accessible from abroad (and almost impossible by email).
Then,parishes send information not easily.
If you have the opportunity to visit Acri and Cosenza province, you could plan to investigate churches' archives by yourself, but from abroad is very difficult to obtain any result unless you find a reliable local help.
Another important source of information is the "Archivio di Stato" (National archive) in Reggio Calabria.
In any case, never give up! Probably the distance from your country and Italy, some difficulties in understanding and in translation, could complicate your search but this should not discourage you.
It's important to plan your activities to carry on with simple goals (eg. search for a single date of birth, the name of an ancestor, the date of a marriage, etc.)
If you are interested to start or to continue your genealogy research in Acri, or if you have questions regarding your family in Acri, just leave a message below, we will answer you by email
If your research is in a dead end and you need some professional advices from skilled and reliable Italian genealogists write to email@example.com

I found out that my great grandfather Francesco Maria Campanella was born to "parents unknown" in 1893 and was taken in by Vincenzo fusaro and Teresa pignataro in Acri, cosenza. Francesco eventually came to Westerly, RI.
I'm wondering why the name Campanella was chosen for him and if there is any hope of ever figuring out who his birth parents were.
Thanks for any help.
My Grandparents were born In Acri, Franceso Vincenzo Ritacco born 1865 and Marietta(or Maria) Sposato born about 1878 and migrated to New Jersey I am attempting to trace our family for my children. Thank you
Did/do you have an Ina Sposato in your family?
I will be traveling to Acri this summer – it is where my grandparents were born. Their names were Luigi Falcone and Angelina (Gabriella) Falcone. My grandfathers parents were Antonio P and Philomena (Abbruzzi) Falcone. My grandmothers parents were Charles and Frances (Festa) Gabriella. The both came to the USA around 1914 and lived in Worcester Massachusetts after spending time with family in Westerly, RI. I would love to see if any of my relatives still live in the region. Does anyone know of a way to research?
Would be grateful for any info on the family of Francesco "Frank" Ligouri b May 1887 in Acri. His wife was Filomina Ricatto b Nov 1886 to Nunziato Ricatto & Maria Toscan also in Acri. They lived in Westerly, Rhode Island. Thanks.
Bob Foran – CT
Immigration from Acri to Westerly was really popular in the early 20th Century. I was born and raised there. Came to the comments to see if anyone else was looking for immigrants to Westerly!
I am also researching Gulluscio & Fusaro who immigrated to Westerly, R.I.
I am searching for Celso,my grandfather is from Acri…and I would like to know about my past ancertors from Acri,. Hoping if is possible to know how long they are living in Acri. Thanks
Updated information….Last name could be spelled Acre. Francesco (Frank) first name. Born 3-12-1878. Father (my great great grandfather) was a baron. Thank you!
My great grandfather was born around the 1870's. He was illegitimate. Named either Modesto or Frank Acri…I believe, and was either adopted or took on Modestino as his last name.
My mother's paternal grandparents are Calabrese…his last name is Acri, first names seem to be Francesco Salvatore or Sylvester. Born 1863-1865. The spelling of Acri surname was changed to Akrey when Grandpa immigrated late 1800's. Grandma's last name (many different spellings)is Molinari, or Mullenare, etc. Her first names are Raphaella (and various spellings such as Raffael, Raphel ++), and could add Maria, and Rosa. She was born in Calabria approx. same year range as Grandpa Frank.
They married in Calabria. They discovered each other while working in the fields.
Once Grandpa became established in his business (sold produce from a street cart) he sent for Grandma and their 5 yr old daughter Maria Acri to come over.
They lived in Toronto, York, Ontario, Canada.
He died in 1923…buried at Mount Hope Cemetery, Toronto. Raphael was 89 yrs. old when she passed (Toronto) and was laid to rest at Mt. Hope (as were most of their Acri/Akrey children. Listed in the Canada Census 1911…THX!!!
Looking for my great grandfather Francesco Guzzi. His wife was Anna Arcuri. Their children were Albino, Amalia, Giuseppe. Thanks for your help.
I have just located grandmother & great-grandmother from Acri to Stamford, Ct. where she married grandfather in 1910.
I am looking for any information I can obtain about my paternal great-grandfather and paternal great-grandmother. My great-grandparents immigrated to Worcester, MA from Acri, Cosenza, Italy. I have their dates of birth. I have had no luck in finding any vital records on my great-grandfather's birth, although I have his WWII draft card identifying his birth in Italy. His "americanized" name was Nicholas Ducimo, but his birth name (I believe) was Nicola Docimo. (We have many cousins with the surname Docimo.) He married my great-grandmother, Angelina Gaspari or Garspari or Galspari (spelling???). She was also from Acri. I have her date of birth, as well.
Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!!
My grandmother was born in Acri approx. 1900. Her name was Michelina Fusaro, but the name Longobucco is also associated with her family. I cannot find her on passenger lists. She settled in Westerly, Rhode Island and married my grandfather Luigi Pellegrino. Looking for birth (or any) information on her and her siblings in Acri. Thank you.
I am researching Samuel Pingalore. He was born in Acri (I have the date). Family legend says he changed his last name from Vigliaturo when he came to the States. I can't find any information to support or deny that. Nor can I find a single Pingalore in Italy! Help!
There are Pingatores here in Cranston, Rhode Island from Acri. Slightly different spelling. Unfortunately, the ones I know are very elderly and were all born here around 1920 and are probably deceased by now or unable to help. I believe that my grandmother was a Pingatore or related to them, she came to Providence,RI before 1900 from Acri. All her children are deceased Our last name is Ferrara. Our grandfather was an orphan from Acri. I hope that helps.
I am also looking for my other grandmother, Rosina Spezzano born 1/25/1896. Or it could be spelled Spezzaro.
Anyone seaching for Luzzi, Mannarino, Pignataro, Feraco ancestors
I'm searching for Luzzi, either Carmela born in 1896 or Santa.
Dear Camille,
Any luck with your Luzzi research? I have been working on Luzzi in Acri for over 23 years.
Ciao, il padre de il mio nonno e nato ad Acri nel 1871. Il suo nome era Giuseppe Siciliano. Lui e partito nel 1888 per andare a New York. Il suo moglie se chiama Annunziata Siciliano e lei e nata nel 1876 anche ad Acri. Nome de il suo fratello era Santo Siciliano e ha anche lasciato Acri di New York nel 1903. Voglio imparare se ci sono ancora persone che habitano in Acri che sono connessi a tali persone o a vedere come posso saperne di più? Grazie.
Peter Siciliano
Hi Peter,
My great-grandfather, Pasquale Siciliano, left Acri for Brooklyn in 1882, and helped bring his nephew, Angelo Siciliano over some years later. He went back to Acri to visit often. Perhaps he is related to your relative, Giuseppe Siciliano.
Rosemary Siciliano
Our grandmother Angelina Fusaro, born approx. 1892, Acri, to Joseph & Maria Fusaro. Angelina immigrated to the U.S. & married Giocanni Gulluscio (from Longobucco,Cosenza) in 1910 in Connecticut, US.I am continuing to search on Archivio Di Stato Di Cosenza website as well as many other sites. I cannot locate any birth or immigration, passenger lists, etc. and hope you could give me direction. Thank you for your time.

The Communications Leadership Institute worked to identify ways nonprofit organizations can design campaigns to persuade individuals to take action on issues they care about.
The investigators:
They summarized their findings in a report, Discovering the Activation Point: Smart Strategies to Make People Act.
To determine an "activation point"—when people will take an action that leads to measurable social change—groups need to:
Hope is the only essential ingredient in campaigns trying to inspire action. You must make people believe that the situation will get better—with their help.
Understanding an audience's comfort zone is essential. There are clear limits to what even the most passionate people are willing to do, especially if the "ask" is outside their comfort zone. Asking people to do things within their comfort zone allows them to feel good about helping without putting themselves at risk.

Create a one-step operation to attach to a process
If you find your debugging session typically involves attaching to a specific process you can save yourself some time in VS 2005 by creating a macro to do it for you.
Here's an example macro that was generated when I attached to calc.exe with the native engine:
Sub AttachToCalc() Try
Dim dbg2 As EnvDTE80.Debugger2 = DTE.Debugger
Dim trans As EnvDTE80.Transport = dbg2.Transports.Item("Default")
Dim dbgeng(1) As EnvDTE80.Engine
dbgeng(0) = trans.Engines.Item("Native")
Dim proc2 As EnvDTE80.Process2 = dbg2.GetProcesses(trans, "JIMSMACHINE").Item("calc.exe")
Catch ex As System.Exception
End Try
End Sub
Now, invoking this macro through the Macro Explorer will cause the exact same attach to whatever program you originally chose! If you want to make your life even easier you could add this macro to a toolbar by:
You could also create an alias for the macro that you can invoke from the command window as follows:
alias attcalc Macros.MyMacros.RecordingModule.AttachToCalc
Now to attach to calc, all you have to do is type "attcalc" in the command window.
Of course, the macro that is created for you is a very simple skeleton. If you'd like you could modify it to do all sorts of other things, like attach to additional processes, or set a breakpoint or whatever!
You might also want to peruse my Idiot's Guide to Creating and Using VS Macros for more helpful hints.

In case you're curious, you don't get anything special for killing it in straight combat.Well, what do you know - a Rancor will kill instantly.
That's the club I've been in lately. More reading than gaming. Also doing reading for my job so it's not even PLEASURE reading on my end.TG Barighm said:In case you're curious, you don't get anything special for killing it in straight combat.
It's not a fun fight. Not. At. All.
As for me, I've been...reading. Yeah, that's right: reading. No gaming. Just books.
I actually want to proofread this review. I played KotOR on PC years after it came out, and came away with the impression that I liked it a lot more than people who played it the year it released. I'm kinda interested in what you think, not just because you're also playing it late, but because you don't play many WRPGs. Is this your first BioWare game?JuMeSyn said:Off to explore more planets in Knights of the Old Republic. Kashyyyk next... or something else?
It's been a while for me, but yeah, you generally gain a lot more prestige for screwing with people than you do for outright killing them. For example, you can convince one student to complete an entire quest for you, even assassinate someone and then kill him yourself and take the artifact he finds. When you tell the instructor about it, he laughs his butt off. It's also possible to complete all of the quests and still not have enough prestige...I think. I remember this one playthrough where I was forced to just kill everyone in the entire settlement and then break into the final tomb on my own.I gather that I'm able to get some prestige by persuading her to accept some help with her own Sith initiation idea, but my charisma must not be high enough. Oh well, I killed a couple of the other academy prospects while running around

Received an email from Dyson announcing this new service center and the opportunity to have a free health check performed. Took in two machines that were in fine working order. Marco provided great tips on the use/care of these machines and replaced items on both units to ensure our 100% satisfaction with their performance. The elapsed time was ~ 20 minutes. What an exceptional customer service experience!
After contacting the service center about some issues I was having with my Dyson, I was nervous that the repairs would be expensive. As soon as I walked in the door, Tim made me feel at ease. He told me not to worry and give him 10 minutes and he would have my vacuum fixed. True to his word- he returned 10 mins later - my vacuum was as good as new. He also gave me some helpful tips. I am very impressed! Thank you so much Tim!
Amazing customer service! The repairs were done within 15 min (which was great for me because the store is a 30 min drive from my house). The repair guy was also proactive enough to fix/replace something that he said we would be back for anyway. It refreshing to see that there are still companies out there that are truly concerned with providing outstanding customer service.
All Dyson machines come with a warranty - please refer to your owner's manual to verify the terms and conditions of yours. If you have any questions, please call our Helpline.
