Topics (SM)

If you do not like a particular thread, skip over it.  If you want to voice your disagreement or discuss it, etc., then do so respectfully.


If we begin removing threads simply because some are unhappy with the subject matter, then I guarantee that sooner or later your particular subject matter will be the next target.


Everyone has a right to post here within posting guidelines.  Simply skip over the threads that are of no interest to you.  Granted, many controversial subjects are posted sometimes and if it is too sensitive of an issue for you, just don't read. 


No one is required to read any or every post, nor reply to any or every post.  Use good judgement for your postings.


Thank you,

I believe Active Words can do that.

Unfortunately, we can't please everyone although we try. We run Active X controls
and a few cannot see the left column and we have offered a number of ways to get the left menu to appear. Beyond that, we are unable to help. Administrator
what is the active ingredient?

chipmunks still active...

Should have mentioned in initial post that I have deleted, redownloaded the new EP, and when that didn't work, tried an older version - no luck.  Even the older version is playing just my .dvf files fast.  I think there's a gremlin in my system trying to drive me crazy. 


Thanks so much for your suggestions though! 


Anybody else?


It was active just a few days ago.

When this whole bruha-ha started, I Googled the name as well. The site was up and working, carrying a glowing endorsement from EMDAT as well. Guess the owner decided to take it all down.

Paula,

Thanks a lot for sharing these great websites!
check out Active Words sm
www.activewords.com

It's like a word Expander for "the rest of" your computer. I use it to automate repetitive Windows- or Word-based tasks that would otherwise take a lot of Keystrokes or mouse clicks.

I create shortcuts so that I can type just a few keystrokes to perform any of the more tedious administrative parts of my work.

For example, typing "sendlog" will, for me, automatically create an e-mail message that sends my line count log for the day where it needs to go.

It's really hard to explain, so I hope you don't mind if I just refer you to the web site.
looks like it was an active website at one point, sm
now it is just parked by earthlink. www.jesterstouch.com

Keep all posts/topics about this on Main, please. NM

They generally are very active dogs who can develop
behavior problems.  Please do a Google search.  He should be excercised daily.  Again, please do a google search and learn as much as you can.  Talk to breeders, trainers, etc.  In the long run you (and he) will be much better off if you take the time now to research and spend the necessary money to learn training techniques.  You might find that it boils down to daily long, structured walks and then play.  You will do great!  Good luck! 
Could you tell me what the active inflammatory lymph nodes mean?
I had a CT abdomen and pelvis last year because I was having pain from Crohn's disease. I have swollen lymph nodes then. I had no other symptoms as in no other lymph nodes that were enlarged, etc. So they did a followup CT a year later, which happened to have been this week. I haven't gotten the results yet. I'm wondering what your active inflammatory lymph nodes mean? Is it normal for some to be enlarged consistently?
The State Board is no longer active - nm

Make sure you are looking in "All Active Templates."

You'll see them as they appear. It's not just companies, it's topics of interest

We will be adding constantly to give visitors opportunities to find information that they may be seeking.

Please post MQ topics on the Medquist board.
/
The main board is used to discuss many different topics. sm
There are many posts on this board that if you were to be really technical about it, should be put on the company board, word board, productivity board, religion board, etc., but they're allowed to stay here and be discussed. If you don't like this topic, then feel free to skip it. But it really isn't a political discussion per se, so it shouldn't have to be taken somewhere else.
Please use Offshore board to discuss those topics. (NM)

Please use Offshore Concerns board for those topics. (NM)

Posting political and offshore topics (SM)

We have specific political and offshore boards for those topics.  Please use those boards.


We are not over-monitoring.  We are trying to keep a little bit of order here.


The Main board is very busy with high traffic of other topics.  If you want to discuss offshoring or politics, please feel free to but post them on the correct boards.


Goldbird


All religious topics go on the Religion board. (SM)
Stop now with this or I will delete the whole thread.

It's ok to post most topics here now except for the few boards to the left. Cool, huh?
I've had that cappucino, too, and it's great!
Posts about political topics go on the Politics board

If you are talking about President Obama's stance, action, statements concerning offshoring - it is political.  It goes on the Politics board.


If you are talking about healthcare industries and what Congress, the Senate, the GOP or other leaders are doing or not doing about - it is political.  It goes on the Politics board. 


Thanks,

I am aware of the religion board, just thought main one would be more active...thanks anyway. nm

Two diff topics. OT laws state 40 hours in most states req'd

If the state boards are no longer active, why haven't they been removed so people don't waste
nm
Yep, $2.00 a page and the page has about 30-40 lines on it nm

NJ $3 page, though I have heard as low as $1 page.

When I worked for a national, up thru 2 years ago, I was getting $1.75 page and heard they got $4.


Let me be clear, keywords are NOT just services, there are many keywords on a variety of topics.

Also, because this is a new feature, we are adding keywords daily.  For example, we started out with about a dozen, that has grown to about 30 now.  It's an ongoing process and it was designed for you, the MTStars visitor.


Please post offshore topics on Offshore Concerns board. (NM)

Thank you.

What is the Main Board for? All general topics seem to get moved to the new gab board.

Page, AZ
This last summer we took a driving trip and were set to stop in Page, AZ for one night... Ended up there for an extra night because of car trouble and we loved it -- the entire Page/Lake Powell area is gorgeous and we are planning a trip back asap -- I'm jealous!!
Their web page...
www.limewire.com explains why they aren't breaking any laws - something about there is no central hub where people are downloading music (as with Napster back in the day) but simply file sharing - so therefore it is legal. But I would never pay to download music - and I don't think the Beatles are upset about lost revenues!
per page
I actually work for a service by page and actually I do pretty well and feel almost better than a per line rate. I wonder if 60 lines is a combination of both text and blank lines?
Per page

I get paid gross line and from top to bottom of the page.  My rate is lower which is what the docs like and on chart notes just take the line count for word.  Kind of like your two lines on a page you get the page.  One word on the line, I get the line.  Also with my clinic notes, there is just one blank in between patients but I do get that line.  Of course I cut apart the notes for the clinic so that kind of pays it.  I also make good money and can't complain. 


 


By page

You need to turn it around so the doctor feels he is "saving money" by being charged by the line and therefore for only the part of the page that is completed.  Tell him that if you charge by 1/4 of the page anything over 10 lines would be a mininum of $1.50 - 2.00  and so he would be paying for part of the page that would not be filled up.   The same applies if he were to go only 1 line past the 1/2 page mark and thus pay for the entire page.  So make it seem more economical for him.  Also make sure that you figure your line charge out in the font you want to type in and if he wants a smaller, convert it over to charge out.  As long as they know that a gross line -- which is what I charge -- consists of how many characters in the Courier 12 font in, you are not cheating.  But show him how it would be beneficial for him to do the line charge and don't go with an attitude of "my way" show him you are looking out for him.   I would probably start out around 12 cpl per gross line as you will probably get a lot of standards that you can set up, etc.   So if work up to 200 to 300 lines per hour that is very good pay.

Wow, we are both on the same page!
I would love to be a homemaker and be with my children, btw I dont have any yet, but that is what I would love to do!!! I agree with your comments totally on this board. Have a blessed day!
It's not there for me either. I think that and the mom page
should have a drop down in the menu thing above.
Could be anywhere from 1 page
to 5 pages.  These would be reports, not chart notes.
