Wall painting faux finish techniques sm
Has anyone ever done their walls in a faux finish technique?  I have a rather large room inhabited by my husband and the 2 dogs in the evening while I work, a big screen t.v., a beige fireplace, beige and hunter green wood look vinyl tile on the floor and hunter green furniture. One wall is paneled in a pecan paneling as it couldn't be done any other way. This room was an add on to the house. Right now the walls are a gray color but am looking to paint it something different, something that might not show the splotches caused by the dogs shaking their wet fur on occasion and fingerprints around the switches.  I found the softly aged walls technique on the HGTV web site were you use 2 colors and a divided roller and divided pan. I kind of like the look and it looks fairly easy for me to do.  Anyone have any ideas?
Researching....

Hey all....


I'm inquiring about a company called "Trans am Associates, Inc." based in Florida.  Does anyone have any information on this company?  Are they legit?  I'm being offered training and a 'guarenteed' job, but it has a price tag and I'd rather confirm prior to shelling money out.


Thanks!

Foot pedal control/knee control? (sm)

My sewing machine has a knee control built into the side of the cabinet and I find this very comfortable.  I would like to somehow do the same with foot pedal I use for transcription.  Can figure out how to mount it, but having trouble adjusting it so the 3 pedals are not an issue.  ANyone done this or have any input? 



 


Foot pedal control/knee control
Though I have not had experience with this type of modification, I have repaired numerous footpedals and have some information that may be helpful. Generally, the footpedal is comprised of the primary circuit board, the wiring to the computer, and the three switches for play, rewind, and fast forward. These switches are easily removed from the pedal with a screwdriver. With basic soldering, you can lengthen the wiring to each switch, or even replace them with different switches you can get at a local electronics store. With a little bit of creative engineering, you could mount some knee -controllable switches that could control the footpedal.
I am also in the process of researching this. So far, (sm)
I have learned that the Core Duo is the best for running the new Vista. As far as brand names, I have never been happy with HP with their desktops, so I think I will just skip over their laptops. I love Dell products and have always had good luck with them and their customer service (I know some have not, but I have). However, both Toshiba and Sony Vaio have been recommended to me and I am looking into them right now.

Please post anything you might come across, as I am very interested in the responses to your question.

Have a great day!
Thanks, I've been researching it too,
it does seem like it is very treatable and is also very rare and slow-growing. It looks very promising. I have printed out a bunch of stuff for mom and she is feeling much, much better with just that. :)
I feel your pain. If at teaching hospital, great pain. SM
Some doctors do give standard discharge summaries, so you could just make copy and then pull it up. It is not easy, especially when they give 20 lines of lab results.
While you're researching your options
it might be helpful to you to approach things from the other direction. Try to determine the outcome you hope to achieve and then work backwards to come up with different possibilities to achieve your goal. Maybe after your son has had his depression addressed with appropriate couseling or medication, you could involve him in the decision-making process. He sounds like a bright kid; he may come up with ideas you hadn't considered. In any event, I wish you the best. It's tough enough to be 15 without health issues. He's lucky to have such a caring mom.
Researching lap tops. Sorry about all the questions. sm

I keep looking at lap tops, but I don't understand a lot of the language.  Just computer challenged, I guess.


What is the difference between AMD Sempron, AMD Athlon and Intel Core processors?  These are the ones I find on Dell that still have Windows XP.  What is the difference between the SDRAM size at 533 MHz and 667 MHz. Hard drive speed 5400 RPM and 7200 RPM (I have a vague idea about that)?  What is considered acceptable for doing MT work?  How do you tell the speed of the processor, and does this mean the surfing speed and the speed work can be uploaded and downloaded?  I really feel lost here!!!  TIA.


So: it's ok for MTs to lose time/$ on researching,
Sounds akin to a DOUBLE STANDARD to me.

Even if we're both paid the same way, it seems that since you merely have to LISTEN, then fill in a few words, even if you have to look them up, you haven't spent NEARLY as much time per report as those of us who actually had to PRODUCE them. You're only researching the blanks that you're not sure of. We have usually researched several other terms in the report that we found the answer to, and are then correctly typed. You don't have to do a thing about those. So how can you be supposedly losing more than we do every time you have to take your foot off the pedal to fill in blank? We have to do the same thing, only more often.

The only way you could be losing more money than we are is that you probably make more to begin with.
Need Advice On Researching Possible Line
Okay. Not sure if this is correct forum, but I hope it is.  I have worked for a company for 3 months, just passed my probation with flying colors. Problem is that my line counts are terrible, to me. I am used to transcribing 200 to 250 lines an hour and have done so for 10 years until I started this new company.  I am just as fast, use the same Expander as my old job - both are Word platforms so  just copied my old Word expanders.  I am making half of what I used to make and what I need to make as I support my family.  My team lead keeps telling me its just me and not to worry, I'll get better. But I am going full speed and am fine.  Still, I thought it was me. Then I coincidentally started a part-time job to supplement the full-time one, as many of us are doing. I have been at this job only 2 days, and in 2 days I am back to typing 250 to 300 now per hour.  I am shocked and mad as a hornet, as now I think I see what may be going on with job #1. I know these are very serious allegations, but have no idea how to prove this, yet to me there is no other explanation. The old walks like a duck, smell like a duck, its a duck thing.  I basically type more lines on a brand-new job with new accounts and new doctors in 2 hours than I do in 5 hours on my other job.  Anybody have any suggestions?  Other than the obvious that job #2 should be my primary job, is there anything I can do to check line counts definitively? Both pay per 65 character lines, including spaces and headers.  Both do not pay for any demographics. 
I use Control N to end a job - Control T is for when viewing an old report
Don't know what you are talking about
Spent 20 min. researching with very little info, and at the end, Dr. said 'Just take that part ou

I hate it when I spend so much time looking up things I do not know (terms or medications, or even a referring or copied doctor's name and address) and then the doctor changes his/her mind and says to just take that back out.


                              


Or, you spend all that time looking things up and researching, then at the end they say 'Oh, by the way, here's all the information you just wasted your time looking up.'


Ggggrrrrrrrrrrr. 


I'll be back to rant more later because this has REALLY been getting on my nerves lately, and seems to be happening a lot more often.

Why do you let this man control you? (sm)

Confront him about his actions.  Do not hold back.  If it continues, then discuss the problem with all your family members.  You are letting him run your life.  Then let your mother et AL decide whether they want to see you on your terms or if they prefer to have no relationship.  


All this animosity will eat your alive.  Get it off your chest and you do not need a counselor to do it.  Just be yourself and be honest and upfront with him.

cannot control what others do
Personally I would just stop having anything to do with her.  I would tell your husband why and no one else.  Just stop doing anything with her, talking to her, etc.  If you have kids, unless the kids are asking to see her, carry on with your life.  And don't say it isn't that easy.  It is.  And what she does is what she does.  What you do is what you do.  What you and your husband have together is outside of what she does.  Keep it simple.  Don't say anything negative about her.  I know you have hurt but you said you worked though it.  You can do that with this too.  Be strong. 
The key to all of this is control+K
which allows the next keystroke to be entered as the command, in your case hit control B. When the box comes up, make sure the control box is checked, not shift or Alt, and then click okay. repeat at end of phrase.
Out of control
Although working from home is great - I have always felt as if the company that I worked for was more in control of my life than I was. Telling me when I had to have something done - even though they never live up to their own standards. One very well-thought of company on this board is just that way - I have QA sitting out there from the weekend and it hasn't been checked yet, but once it is, they will expect me to have it done in 30 minutes and to the hospital - I'm ready to give up this profession or vocation or whatever anyone wants to call it.

Control T
Some EXText users have the ability to reveiw old jobs--say you want to look at a physical exam for the dictator you're working on or you want to verify a dosage for a drug on a patient you're working .  You can Control/S, then in the screen that pops up you can chose by date, trans ID, provider name, patient name, etc.  In the documents that come up based on the parameters that you entered, you can select one of those documents.  It's also a way to review what QA filled for any blanks you might have had.  When you are finished reviewing, you Control/T to get out of that document and your working document pops back up.  Working documents you Control/N.  Reviewing documents (read only), Control/T.

I am actively searching for a new company. This is a no-win situation.
I don't know nor do I have control over the MT
community.  What I can control is my own career.  Other MTs have to take control of their careers, too.  IMHO, to work for an MTSO/get paid by production as a newbie MT is career suicide.  I never made less than, equal to or close to a housekeeper as a newbie.  I started as a medical-legal word processor of sorts - self-taught - took classes here and there and the rest is history.  My advice to new MTs is to get a job as a file clerk or other admin in a hospital or med group and work your way into a MT clerk and then MT position.  You already have your foot in the door by the fact that you are an employee of the hospital or med group 
And we also have a bit more control over the

It's difficult but necessary to be in control
Otherwise you are simply allowing little Hitlers to grow up and become *adults* - your job is not to be their friend, your job is to be their parent.

Why would you allow your kids to have friends that you wouldn't allow in your house if they were your friends?

Why would you allow filthy language, out-of-control behavior, and downright liars even on your property?

Are you afraid of your kids? if so, why?

Good luck
sorry, don't think it's either new or damage control

Thanks so much!
not other poster but it isn't under the control tab; sm
it is under the playback tab under settings. it is the fifth one down that says auto back step on stop. i have mine set at 2000.
Yes, and one could only believe that if one believed this was something they had no control over. sm
I don't think that way at all.   Please.  How many gay movie stars are we just now finding out were gay all their lives.  And we never knew.  I am sorry, but that is the coward's and liar's way. To have a family knowing you are gay and have no intention of giving up your other way of life.  Shameful. 
pest control
Did it kill your grass?  You know, like roundup turns it brown? 
I gave the tip about using control+K
for command entries.

I purchased ShortHand and it is in the instruction manual that came with it.
Steps for control T.
When using control/T to close out the Control/S document, you must make sure the Control/S document is fully open and that it is the document on top. The document you see should have "read only" next to the patient's name. If it is not on top, control/T will close out everything.

Here are the steps: When you open Control/S, pull up the doc you want to review, etc., it comes up first. When you go back to the document you're transcribing, the Control/S document goes behind your working document. When you minimize your working document to Control/T the viewing document, it will go to a split window, and then you have to make sure the reviewing document is on top before you Control/T. I hope this makes sense--You can't Control/T with a split window or both documents showing at the same time. You must click on the read only document to open it to view so there is no split screen and the only document you see is the read only document. Otherwise, you close out both documents.
control is only an illusion - just when you
something happens to change the illusion.

Such is life.
Well, the patient does have some control, actually.
The patient can see another doctor without mentioning seeing this doctor, if he/she believes this MD's opinion is worthless. You can hope the best for the patient, but that's about it. Now if you worked in this MD's office as an employee or you were an IC (I am assuming you are doing hospital work and he is just one of the dictators), then you could decide you didn't want to earn your living from him anymore, but if you are in a service/hospital employee situation, then you just groan when you get him, call him ugly names if you work at home, type his reports, and steer your family and friends toward better MDs whenever possible.

I think most patients can recognize a jerk when they meet one.
She was just trying to do damage control (for herself of course)
and you're right - she was told to leave, she didn't leave on her own volition. She just wanted to make it look that way to save face.
