Fellow MTs and American Idol watchers,
I made it to the top 20 in the local Zanesville, OH competition similar to American Idol. PLEASE HELP A FELLOW MT!!! You can go online and vote tomorrow for me. PLEASE!! go to www.whiznews.com or www.zanesvilletimesrecorder.com and cast your vote. You should be able to hear me sing for about 90 seconds. The public vote is only a portion of the scoring. I will be judged on vocal quality and performance as well. The first night of actual competition is July 15th and then again on July 29th if I made it to the top 8. I appreciate each and every vote. There is some stiff competition ahead of me. Lots of talent in OHIO!!! This is gonna be fun!

I guess they don't have the public voting ready yet. It should be ready tomorrow. I will keep you posted. Thanks on the hair color. My stylist thanks you too. I can honestly say it WAS my natural color when I was 10 
Y-City Star
I definitely will keep you all posted. You should be able to hear a 90-second audition clip tomorrow. The first show will be July 15th and the second July 29th. The first 20 will be narrowed down to 8 and then the winner. This is a lot of fun and I am definitely singing for "All the Girls" I was never one to get up in front of people and talk much less sing. Finally got the courage. THANKS FOR THE VOTES!!

That is star wars, not star trek. I really wish they would
show the reruns for the series that had 7 of 9 as a character.

COMPETITION
How long have you been with this client? Is is offshore they are talking about? Be tactful and supportive of their concern, BUT FOCUS ON THE PROFESSIONAL QUALITY OF YOUR WORK. Start off by a brief review of your business relationship together. Review with your client, all the fine points of your business - your professionalism, TAT, your availability and your thorough knowledge of their particular needs. Then taken the client through a scenario - ask them point blank who is this other service offering such low rates? Ask your client about the other service's background? Are they offshore? Bring attention to HIPPA and security of their patient's records. If you get no where, you may want to consider meeing your client in person for review of pricing and offer a perk such as a discount per month or if you have to, lower your rate a little. The more you keep your wits about you and stay professional at all times, the more impressive you will remain to them. I have lost hospital accounts at times to lower rates, but I kept my cool at all times even though it killed me, and just once or twice, I got back the accounts and you know what? The first thing told to me was how impressed they were that I was so professional and helpful through the process of letting go. As it turned out, the other services were lousy and I got my accounts back. This doesn't always work though but it's worth a try.
This is not a competition.
see "I think it has to do with"
below.
I don't feel as such competition with $$$, sm
As I don't believe they settle for the pay that the Indians do, and as such not competing with us as much ...
Well if it's a competition, I guess
the experienced ones could stop being so generous with help on the Word board, which they do FOR FREE.
Sorry, but I've found another industry that pays by the hour and gives actual holidays. I will drive to work and work with real people, where I will actually feel like I count for something. I'm over the feeling of "privilege" of working in medicine. Let the newbies have it. I'm tired of the docs think we're idiots because we follow a book of rules that has no basis in their reality. I'm also tired of docs that don't want to pay, but would never consider changing their ways and standardizing formats and phrasing or gathering everything they need ahead of time before they get on to dictate (think ESLs and their long, drawn out, time-wasting sentence structures and pauses).

LOL. And some kind of comedy competition soon too!!! nm.

You can "thank" the offshore competition...sm
Like it or not.... it's driving the prices down in our industry. We have customers now demanding price reductions as contracts come up for renewal and tell us that if we don't meet their new pricing they'll send the work offshores and pay 4 cpl for transcription, 1.5 cpl for editing work.
More and more clients are willing to take the risk of sending work out of the country for the cheap labor and getting the work done 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The overseas companies truly work 24/7/365 and their English skills have improved dramatically.
Gone are the days of high line rates for everyone. Stinks, I know.
Thanks for that information! Competition should bring price down

It's called competition in a buyer's market (sm)
or vendor's (hospital's) market, not low-balling.
MQ's "daddy" underwrites them so they can undercut competition. They aren't
And if you aren't MQ Rosie then I guess I'm not calling you stupid now am I?
Going on a school trip for childs chorus competition--sm
in March to New York. Went to a meeting with school/parents and told the school board will cancel the trip if the terrorist threat level goes to red--understandable, but also we would lose our money ($1600 for four of us to go). Does anyone know of an insurance company who underwrites trips or tours? One of the parents said they heard of this but did not remember the details or company.
You're asking for part of their market! It'll be a competition
You go ahead though. Keep us all informed.
Competition is driving prices down. Companies are not making
Sooner or later you will have to face facts that this industry is in a freeze hold due to several factors.
If the companies are not able to raise their prices to customers, they cannot raise their payouts to workers.
Nice marketing too..a bogus statement about US MTs to discredit the competition nm

Star
It's great she was able to lose the weight and now feel so much better about herself. She doesn't have to be like Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton and tell that she's had surgery if she doesn't want to. Some people may not want their medical/surgical history public. No need to know whether someone had gastric bypass, hysterecomy, or anything else if they don't want to divulge that info.
Star
According to what I read, Star has *turned off* so many readers with her wedding and weight loss that THEY decided not to renew her contract. I am one of those viewers. I never had an opinion on her one way or the other, but once she started with her crazy wedding I was totally turned off.

So, tell me about HBO Star
Just wondering if anyone has experience with HBO Star (radiology at Keystrokes) and what to expect. Also, I thought I read somewhere that you can't browse the internet with HBO Star and the VPN? What?? Thanks for the info...
nashville star
USA network on Tues at 10 p.m. Announce their winner next week. More to compete to come later in year. Winner wins a RCA recording contract. Wyonna and Cowboy Troy are hosts. Always special guest. Judges are fun. Idol spin-off but way more entertaining, real,and you know who's out from the week before on the show. No extra show to see the results. Awesome entertainment. Not a huge country fan, but have found these kids very talented.
Rosie vs Star (sm)
Why is Rosie so concerned that Star tell all of her business. Who cares how she lost the weight. Rosie is no different. She waited years to tell she was gay. Why didn't she tell that sooner????
Star's replacement...
I like Gayle King (Oprah's BFF), so I hope this rumor's true. Rosie, Gayle, and Joy should make a nice combo. I may actually start watching The View again!
Star Jones
She didn't leave The View of her own free will, her contract wasn't renewed. There's a whole thread farther down about what happened and how it came to be that she was told not to come back after she told everyone a few days earlier than planned that she wasn't returning to the show in the Fall.
no, Star got drunk on herself........nm
Wolf Star
No, but I'm being offered a job with them. Are you working for them and, if so, how are they? TIA :-)
ROCK STAR!
WOOT! No really, that is an OLD dream of mine. Now I think I would just like to travel the world and explore it with my hubby. I am a culture buff. <3
I would also like to continue my self-education that I work on daily. I am trying to learn about everything because I want to know everything and understand the entire universe, LOL. :)
I would also like to be able to put everything together in order to do something that gives a LOT of people joy and hope along with personal power. What that something is, I do not know.
This thread is awesome. It really gives insight as to how different we all are. I love seeing that if we all had the freedom to do what we truly wanted to do, we would not choose the same things. It also shows that we certainly would not stop being "productive" if money were not needed or earned. :)
Rock Star INXS
Has anyone been watching Rock Star INXS? Tuesday nights when they perform is great..Im telling you these people have talent. Last night, Ty Taylor sang a Bob Marley song..Woman Dont Cry..I was rocking..I love Bob Marley and have most of his albums..This show is great and has better performers than American Idol, IMHO..plus there is also the added attraction of watching man babes, starting with Dave Navarro (oh..just love his muscles)..
Star Jones gets even more ugly
Anyone else here an avid star gazer?
I got my first telescope the other day and have seen the moon. It is too cool!! But, I cannot seem to get any planets in my view. I have googled like crazy using the brand and number of the scope, but still nothing. Does anyone have some advice on where to go? I have several astronomy sites on my favorites list, but none can help me so far. TIA
Are there any Star Trek fans
Wondering if most MTs are Star Trek fans?????
That was Star Trek Voyager ...
... and I too wish they would rerun that show. I haven't seen it for a long time. I also liked Star Trek Enterprise. Long Live Star Trek.
Speaking of Star Jones
Pics of her wearing a bathing suit. Gross.

Next Food Network Star
Anybody watch The Next Food Network Star tonight on Food Network? Yvonne got "voted off the island" this time - she was always cooking ethnic and hispanic foods that were good, but she copped an attitude when she got voted off. The guy from Iowa is still going strong! I betcha the blond chunky guy wins (is Guy his name?) though.
ABC did not renew Star's contract....sm
ABC did not want to renew Star's contract this coming August-September. She knew that before the announcement that Rosie would be replacing Meredith. I, for one, am ecstatic that Star is leaving The View. Barbara Walters knew all about it prior - it's all over the web news. They all are so annoying except Joy Behar. Her annoying ways are part of her stand-up but I believe that Joy Behar is the most open-minded one on the show and I wish they'd dump Elisabeth. I watch so much less now that Meredith is gone (and I didn't like Meredith the first years either but grew to like her the best).
Oh well, we ALL can agree to disagree!
HGTV Design Star
Am I the only one hooked on this show??? I was so glad to see Alice stay in the competition last night. I was sad to see Tym go, but glad that David got to stay. Wonder who will win??
HGTV DESIGN STAR - sm
Anyone else vote online or text message for one of these kids? Just curious as to which one you voted for....my vote was for David. Alice's designs did nothing for me, and she had a somewhat fake affect. Any other opinions?
Nashville Star fans...
Chris Young's Drinkin Me Lonely video is up at CMT.com and his CD comes out tomorrow!

wolf star transcription
I was just wondering if anyone has done radiology for Wolf Star transcription??? Just wanted some feedback on the company. Thanks:)
emtjack/Transcription Star
I did a search on this company and yep, they are from India with satellite offices in New York and CA. I took a gander at their pricing - holy smokes! $10-12 an hour for audio transcription of police interviews, multi-speaker conferences etc?!!!???!!? That is insane! Who in their right mind would send this company verbatim work or work of a sensitive nature when they can't even command the English language! Time to give India the boot!
If it weren't for us Americans, he wouldn't be the star
Does anybody else watch Rock Star INXS ?nm
x
It's all good. Doesn't Star look like a guy in drag?
Especially since she lost weight. So who cares about her husband's "orientation"? I'm not so sure about Star.
where are all the nashville star fans?? opinions?
i am a big fan of CR, awesome job, awesome voice, and TV does him no justice compared to in person. i think CY is good too but doesn't show as much versatility as CR does. what went wrong last night with MM gone and NJ still being there? i am not a fan of the deep, deep voice but i know lots are and he is a much better singer than the female left.
who do you think will win? i was thinking CY til last night and now i am not sure. I think it will be extremely close between CY and CR, can there be a tie??
I think it was just rumored that Star and Elisabeth may be leaving (sm)
but, yeah, if you are right.....it will be the beginning of the end if they lose 3 rather than just 1. IMO.
