and the White Mountains in NH is also nice.  I would suggest driving the Kangamangus Highway in the White Mountains in NH.  Very nice drive and beautiful views of the White Mountains.  I believe the Old Man of the Mountain is along this route but part of him fell a while ago so not sure what he looks like now???!!!

I hate standard time though.  They can leave it as it is now and eliminate going back to standard time in the fall as far as I'm concerned.  The clocks always go back right before Halloween too so the little ghosts and goblins have to trick or treat in the dark.

It does mess things up a bit changing over though.  Last night my kids were all hungry and I said, "Oh for goodness sakes it's only . . . .. ALMOST SEVEN??"

Oops. . . . "hello, Dominos?"  :)

wait a minute, it'll change.

However, it has been soooooo hot here for a month.  I'm not just talking heat, we get 95 degrees with 86% humidity and even the kitchen floor is sticky under your feet. And that's with the AC on, choking in the background.  The humidity makes everything sticky.  115 degrees of dry heat is like oven heat.  95 degrees of humid heat is like a sauna and you feel as if you're sucking in water when you breathe.

But February. . . .nice and cool.  20 below 2 weeks in a row.  A good day might go up to 2 (that's degrees).  In February we can't wait for the hot humid weather.  In July we can't wait for snow, but not for February though, more like December when it's a nice 20 above.

Her name is Cathi Lee. Her success story hit our tiny local newspaper one day and she has since been on Today, Good Morning America and in People Magazine.

If you Google her name and weight loss, you can see some articles about her.

I'm too technologically inept to be able to post anything here. I do know that there is a video on WMTW.com of her story.

She was 500 lbs. and lost 330 lbs. in 3 years without fad diets, pills or surgery. She just finally set her mind to it, did a lot of research and now at 48, she is a third of the size she was.

One of her main things was walking and I totally agree with that. I don't care if it's zero out, I still walk. I left my inhouse job 2 years ago and I've LOST 25 lbs. I have time to walk and I make myself do it unless it's pouring rain.

I also do not buy anything that I will eat for junk food, especially "desk food." Do not buy anything that you can easily snack on at your desk. Big mistake. I used to have a desk drawer of "comfort" snacks at my inhouse job and would snack all day.

Another thing is water. Not in the form of 6 cups of coffee. Just plain water and lots of it. NO SODA! Even diet soda will cause fluid retention. Keep a diet soda as a "treat" for the end of your work shift before you go walking. :)

Good luck!

That this may not be the best thing to do if you live in a city or something.

We have virtually no crime rate unless the juveniles are bored and smash a pumpkin or something. We don't lock our doors and leave the keys in the car.  It's a little tiny neighborhood with the 100 x 100 lots and everyone knows everyone by name.

Some customers leave paper money in envelopes clipped to their mailboxes right out in plain view and nobody has ever taken any.

There are neighborhoods in our nearest city that I wouldn't dream of doing this in.

So it's probably not for everyone.

There are a lot of great places to visit in either state.  Kind of depends on what your interests are and if you are traveling alone or with children.  Also depends on what time you plan on visiting. 

I live in Maine and have visited New Hampshire several times.  Not sure I can answer all your questions but feel free to ask and I will try.  Hope the links below help you. 

Portland is a nice place and you can go to what they call the Old Port (which is on the water) and there are old shops and stuff there.  Nice place to walk around if you want to walk.  To drive I would travel up Route 1 (traffic may be heavy but you get to see the coast of Maine).  Freeport is a nice place to visit if you want to shop.  Home of the famous LL Bean.  Kittery (which is just across the border from Portsmouth) has outlet stores.  Portsmouth also is nice and I believe they have a lot of old historic buildings if that is of interest to you.

The White Moutains in NH are beautiful as I said before.  Also in North Conway, NH there are tons of outlet stores there also.

The Olympus DS-10 will not allow the docs to tape over what they record.  I had to get this for one my docs who kept taping over everything.  They get very upset when the tape over everything.

I think the editing capabilities they are referring to means that the doctor can go back into a recording he has already done, like into the middle of it, and insert something he forgot.  If I were you, I would NOT get one that allows this.  I started out giving my docs the DS330, which has editing capabilites.  On several occasions they ended up overwriting their recording completely or inserting things in the wrong place and overwriting portions of the recording.  It was a NIGHTMARE.  If you have docs who are very careful, it may not be a problem, but my docs are not careful at all with these things.  Then they got upset at the recorder and at me!  Oh brother.... Anyway, they eventually got used to the recorders and have been using them now for years with no more problems with overwriting.  But in the beginning they had a rough time.

Now I give out the Olympus DS2, which does not have editing capabilites and have had none of the above problems.  Docs use it with ease and there is no worry of overwriting a file.  If I were you, I'd go with the DS2.  The DS330 is discontinued anyway.  Good luck.

The client set me up with it, and I only have experience with the transcription units, although I know the dictation units have docking stations that send the voice files to the computer.

I checked and one transcription unit runs around $400, although you can find it a little bit cheaper if you look hard enough.

Hope this helps.

I had purchased the same model and found that you could not tape over anything the physician had already dictated.  It is for taping conferences, meetings, etc.
