Lets face it, many of these Websites exist, and they fail. Viewers immediately question the site and are left with a bad first impression. This translates to a bad taste in the mouth, and determines almost immediately that the viewer will not want to revisit the site, let alone conduct business.

Spanish / English Translations
LMF Translations is Lawrence M. Fedorko showcasing his Spanish < English > Translation and Interpretation services. This Website is accessible in English and Spanish. The website provides links for viewing Lawrence's sample translations, and contact information.
In Lawrence's words: I am a Spanish Translator and trained Terminologist that is currently pursuing a Master of Arts degree at Kent State University's Institute of Applied Linguistics, where I am also a Spanish instructor and the president of Kentlingua, a graduate student organization. In addition to translating, studying, and teaching, I work as an Account Executive at Localingua. While being a professional translator, I have seen a lot of unqualified and poorly trained translators hired by companies, because, in the short term, they are less costly than professionals.This excerpt from an article by Jiri Stejskal demonstrates the financial impact of quality translations. According to an article by Glenn Flores, M.D., published in the New England Journal of Medicine, one hospital paid $71 million after a malpractice suit as a result of poor translation. A Spanish-speaking 18-year-old collapsed on his girlfriends floor after telling her he felt intoxicado. When the girlfriend and her mother repeated the word to English-speaking paramedics, they took it to mean intoxicated rather than nauseated and treated the patient for drug overdose. Thirty-six hours later, they reevaluated the patient and found that he was suffering from hematomas (blood clots) around his brain. The misdiagnosis resulted in quadriplegia, a condition that could have been prevented with an accurate translation. I always try to stress the importance of using professionally trained translators by asking a few simple questions. Why dont you have your living will written by you garbage collector? The garbage collector speaks English, right? Just because the garbage collector speaks the same language does not mean he has the skills needed for writing a living will. The truth of the matter is that it takes a very specific set of skills to write a living will, and the same can be said about translation; it is very important to have a specially trained professional do your translations.
Furthermore, the same can be said about terminology management. Although initially it may be costly, it saves money over time, "For example, imagine that a defective term is created during design and used in one information object, which in turn is used in ten deliverables that are integrated into five products, which are translated into ten languages. In this case a single error - the designation of the defective term - is propagated across a whopping 500 occurrences." -Keiren Dunne- Terminology management can save a company from the risk of product failure. Terminology management: "There is unfortunately no cure for terminology; you can only hope to manage it." -Kelly Washbourne-

A Political Party for the Middle Class
Citizen Revolutionart Party is a new political movement aimed at U.S. middle class residents who are fed up with the current Goverment, U.S. politics, the economy, society, education systems and foreign policy.
Its goals are to put the welfare of the nation above our selfish interests, severely reduce the power of pressure groups who are engaged primarily in buying influence, create a vibrant third party which we will call The Middle Class Party (MCP) that truly represents the middle class, produce an all-encompassing energy policy that includes off-shore drilling, and create a fair and understandable tax code (such as a flat tax as advocated by Steve Forbes).
CRP looks to finally reform our entitlement programs (Social Security and Medicare) so that young people can look forward to receiving both when retiring, create a significant party on all levels: local, state, national; we want EVERY citizen to be involved, create a rational and affordable healthcare policy, reform our educational system to make our curriculum relevant and learning exciting, create real jobs with such policies as entrepreneurship creation as well as remove government interference from free enterprise, reduce frivolous lawsuits, and reform Wall St., the banking system and the policies that created tech bubble, housing bubble, and the global economic meltdown
In addition, the party looks to keep Government out of our personal life (Big Brother has gone far enough), vote out all politicians who allowed this current disaster to occur both Republicans and Democrats, formulate a rational foreign policy that keeps the U.S. out of unnecessary wars, protects our security and encourages meaningful diplomacy over confrontation, try to attract really talented people to join our party instead of the many buffoons that are currently in power. This includes leaders of business, academia and others. Also, finalize an equitable solution to the immigration fiasco, produce meaningful compromises to eliminate the narrow minded partisanship that makes Washington the laughing stock of the nation, unite the country like we did after 9/11 where we all came together for the common good, and finally, restore the American Dream once again, so that all Americans can become proud of our country.
Drummer / Musician
Matt Luft is a Drummer/Musician/Drum Guru/Producer. He has toured the United States and Canada with several successful acts, including award-winning orchestras to heavy metal outfits.
Matt's bio is as follows: Few drummers achieve the status of becoming industry studio producers top choice for session and live performance drummer. His playing style can be described as passionate, intense and diverse; complex yet musical; energetic yet dynamic; creative yet controlled. Matt Luft, a native resident of Cleveland, OH, began his drumming career in 1993. Matt was born with a natural passion for music. He began taking piano lessons at age seven. Soon after, he discovered rock music and was awakened for the first time in life. At the age of twelve, Matt had the privilege of attending a general music class that exposed him to the drum set. "It was a five piece CB700 kit in natural finish, with a set of Paiste cymbals." "As soon as I walked through the door and laid eyes on that kit, I knew life would never be the same again." This was proven to be a truly life-changing experience. After much hesitation, Matt finally convinced his parents to let him purchase a set of drums, on the stipulation that he must join the high school marching, symphonic, and jazz bands. At first not feeling so excited about playing with the school bands, Matt quickly worked his way into the position of percussion section leader in all three bands, while learning that persistence and perspiration lead to solid chops. "I can thank my parents enough for insisting I join all the school bands. The marching band gave my body and my drumming technique a consistent workout. This formed the basis and gave me an idea of how much dedication it would take to become a solid player."
Matt has soon after studied under several nationally acclaimed percussionists and musicians. He has played to numerous, diverse crowds, from coast to coast in the U.S., in a number of musical genres. Matt started out in local bars and eventually evolving to large venues and festivals with thousands in attendance. He has toured with Erie, PA-based progressive rock virtuoso's BlueFire. Matt has a well-rounded background that enables him be a leading, cooperative and contributing studio and live drummer. He is versatile and musical. "When you have a true passion, you will never stop learning and experimenting. The best advice I can give any musician is to never stop changing your approach to the instrument. Go out and listen to other players. Network. True inspiration comes not from what you know and can perform, but what you wish you knew and could perform. Never tame the desire to stop learning."
Matt's Website includes the instruments he uses, his touring experience, studio work, some of his personal influnces, pictures, video and multimedia.
