Or maybe more accurately: they know about templates, but don’t know how to utilize them. Did you know that many web designers actually

buy web site templates

that they then customize to meet their clients needs?

A website template is the fastest, easiest, and most cost effective path to building your website. Where custom design can take weeks or months to finish, and can run you in the thousands of dollars, web templates are relatively inexpensive, and can be ready to publish in a matter of days. Many high-quality templates are available for under $100.

There are a few different options for finding web templates. There are membership based dealers that offer a ?ne-time or monthly subscription fee which buys you the right to download their entire collection. Then there are companies that deal on a one-by-one basis, selling a single template for use with one website.

The sea speaks. In idyllic Krabi, on the southern coast of Thailand you can hear its voice undiluted – a whisper, an echo and occasionally, if you’re lucky enough to witness it in a thunderstorm, an unrestrained roar.

I don’t mind the sea. Actually that’s not quite right, I’m a fan. But only of its tamer avatar, the one that shows itself gently swishing along the shores of Mumbai, of everywhere coastal, placid, in the torpid languor that spells the height of summer.

Riding riotous waves in a wooden Longtail boat, with the floorboards not quite fitted together, so you know it’s handhewn, isn’t my idea of a holiday. But there I was, braving the waters, temperamental and boisterous as they are in the hours before a full moon along with my husband and toddler daughter. Lifejackets -check. Basic first aid kit – check. Fingers white at the knuckles from clutching too tightly at the boat corner as the sea played cat and mouse, tossing us to and fro so we keeled in tempo with the giant waves -check. “We must be mad to do this, may the Gods have mercy,” my silent refrain as each wave pushed us to the brink of overturning.

The Longtail works with the ocean, mimicking its movement, that’s its beauty – low, flat, basic, unlike the bigger, enclosed and hence aseptic speedboats. To a first time traveller slightly intimidated by nature being boastful, it’s the thrill of a lifetime. Or, as in my case, the anxiety of a lifetime.

We were enroute Ao Nang to Railay, both beaches about 20 minutes apart by boat. Railay, the more secluded of the two, is accessible only by sea. Ao Nang is the touristy part, dotted with souvenir stalls and street eateries hawking the wondrous Thai cuisine.

In the hours precluding full moon, the seas are particularly rough. And a storm was brewing, like some slow tempo build-up in a bad Bollywood movie. It would happen that we appeared to be the only ones braving the bay that day. “If we capsize, no one would even find us,” I thought darkly.

Matter of fact we didn’t. We stepped onto the paradise beach that was Railay just as the sun broke through the gloom

Maybe you made the right decision, but

Published on July 28th, 2010no comments

Maybe you made the right decision, but feel you should now have a management position. Maybe you feel you made the wrong decision, but you are concerned about a career change in mid life. So what are the alternatives?

Career Training

Some people are concerned about the cost of career training, or the amount of time it takes. Some might argue that you have to work for anything worth having, “no pain, no gain” as they say! Think of it more as an investment in your future. Either you can continue being unhappy and unappreciated, or you can opt for career education. Likewise, if you are stuck in a job that you dislike, now is the time to think seriously about career change and what you need to do to achieve that. Think about creating your own luck or career opportunity (call it what you will).

Coalition Launches New Campaign to Fight Loan Modification Scams

1 Comment | U.S. Newswire, Apr 23, 2010

WASHINGTON, April 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — The Loan Modification Scam Prevention Network, led by Fannie Mae (NYSE: FNM), Freddie Mac, the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law and NeighborWorks America, today announced a national campaign to prevent loan modification scams through public education, complaint reporting and coordination with local, state, and federal enforcement agencies.

As part of the campaign, the Network has launched a consumer- friendly Website, www.PreventLoanScams.org, which is designed to support national, state and local law enforcement efforts. The Website serves as a nationwide clearinghouse and destination for loan modification scam information on complaints filed, laws and regulations, and enforcement actions.

The Website includes:

An electronic complaint form that can be filled out easily by an individual who has been scammed or by counselors or friends helping a victim of fraud;

Names of individuals and organizations who have been identified by enforcement agencies to have allegedly committed a loan modification scam;

Information on how to avoid a loan modification scam;

State-by-state information about rules, regulations and resources available to homeowners; and

News and information on enforcement efforts.

Homeowners who believe they may have been a victim of a loan modification scam, can also call the Homeowners Hope Hotline at 888- 995-HOPE to log a complaint and to receive free foreclosure prevention counseling.

“We’ve joined forces with government agencies and other industry leaders to help fight loan scams across the country,” said Jeff Hayward, Senior Vice President, Fannie Mae. “This effort links homeowners to free, legitimate counseling and helps to put scammers out of business. The goal of this campaign is to educate homeowners and empower those who have fallen victim to scammers to report and prevent future fraud.”

“By working together we can help the public identify alleged loan modification scam artists, learn how these scams work, and give them a new way to fight mortgage fraud,” said Senior Vice President Hollis McLoughlin, Freddie Mac. “The Network’s new website form will enable citizens to report fraud artists to law enforcement agencies before other borrowers are swindled out of their homes.”

Loan modification scams are schemes in which people take advantage of vulnerable homeowners. Scammers prey on homeowners in distress by guaranteeing to help the homeowner obtain a modification of their mortgage to save their home. Frequently, the borrowers pay money up front but receive no help at all and their home is lost to foreclosure.

“Receiving complaints about loan modification scammers throughout the country is crucial to supporting enforcement efforts,” said Joseph Rich of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. “By encouraging homeowners to take action and report fraud to the Loan Modification Scam Prevention Network, we hope to help federal, state and local enforcement officials bring actions against scammers.”

“We’re pleased to be a part of this coalition, which complements and supports our ongoing efforts to educate consumers about the warning signs of loan fraud,” said Marietta Rodriguez of NeighborWorks America. “We want homeowners to know they have a place to turn to if they think they are being scammed.”

“It’s a real shame to hear stories from consumers who are already financially struggling and who learn they have paid large amounts of money, unwittingly, to a loan modification scam organization,” said Josh Fuhrman, Vice President for Programs of the Homeownership Preservation Foundation.

If you?ve recently been arrested and/or convicted

Published on July 28th, 2010no comments

If you?ve recently been arrested and/or convicted of a DUI or drunk driving offense there are many things to consider before actually disclosing your DUI on a job application. First, if you are eligible to clear the DUI record (immediately or in the near future) it might make more sense to explore those avenues before you apply for a job that you really want.

9 times out of 10 most every employer will do a pre-employment background check on you and will uncover the DUI offense which most likely will cause them not to hire you. Most pre-employment background checks are conducted by 3rd party HR companies that are contracted by your potential employer specifically to do background checks.

Caring for your baby at home ?

Most newborn babies spend most of their time sleeping and eating. You want to make sure that baby has a safe place to sleep and is put to sleep in a safe position.

A safe crib will have slats no more than 2 3/8 inches apart and corner posts less than 5/8 inch high above the rails.

Baby should sleep on a firm mattress that fits tightly in the crib, cradle or bassinet.

Do not put pillows, comforters or other soft padded materials in the bed under the baby.

Put healthy infants to sleep on their backs or sides.

Keep the sides of crib raised when baby is sleeping in it.

Try to keep sleeping newborns away from pets, other children and large overstuffed toys.

Don?t let people smoke around your baby.
