It has to do with expanded memory.


Here's a quote: "A small percentage of Windows 2000-based and XP-based computers (including some popular Dell models) do not support Expanded (EMS) Memory even after you follow the procedures for enabling EMS described elsewhere on this site. On such machines, abbreviation-expander software like Smartype and PRD+ will not load and function correctly, and WPDOS 5.1 will have less memory to work with than it needs. With some (probably not all) of these computers, you can enable EMS by making changes in the BIOS ("firmware") of your computer. The BIOS (Basic Input-Output System) settings are the hardware settings that control the way Windows works with your machine; the settings cannot be changed from inside Windows, but must be accessed during bootup by pressing a key that opens up a special BIOS menu."

Have you read the IT website??
There's a lot of information there. It's not the easiest to explain, but it does come with lots of glossaries. I've had it since school and wouldn't give it up for anything!
do you understand what you read?

Of course we WILL be hit again!  I said that before!!  No, of course I'm not him...what does that mean? That I should walk a mile in his shoes?  Give me a break!  HE is president for Pete's sake.. He is supposed to be leading our country, and he led us right into a HUGE MESS that didn't need to be, that he doesn't have a clue on how to manage!  Those are the FACTS, not just heresay, and not BASHING. You follow him around like a puppy with no thought of your own, just that he is president and he should be respected.  Well I don't have respect for anyone who runs this country in the ground for so-called "spreading freedom around the world."  What kind of rhetoric is that!?  If you believe that, then you're dumber than he is!  There have been at least four reasons for us to go into Iraq, none of which that makes any sense or warrants invading a country that had nothing to do with us getting hit. 


have read the help, but don't understand a lot of it.
It just seems very confusing.  But I plan on reading it again.  Thanks everyone for all your help on these boards re shorthand.  Merry Christmas to all.
You can go to BioLife website and read that I think, and no you do not sound paranoid! nm

They understand what they read and they aren't going to....
That's the whole problem.  They believe what they want to believe and NOTHING is going to dissuade them, not even the facts.  It has been documented over and over again that our President is out of touch with the facts of the world situation, the Iraq war is a mess and is inciting the terrorists even more, and Iraq was never who we needed to "go after" as far as "getting the terrorists." 
Read carefully to understand ...
I work at MQ and Spheris both. Work PT at each.

Spheris: I make 10.67 cpl...BECAUSE I make my base of 8.67 cpl; I work at night and get 0.5 cpl shift diff; I produce more than 7000 lines a week and get 1.5 cpl production incentive.

MQ: I make 10.75 cpl...BECAUSE I make my base of 8.75 cpl; I do my weekend requirement to QUALIFY for produc incentive; I reach the minumum for the highest produc of 16,000 lines/pp giving me 2.0 cpl extra.

HINT: Spheris offers base rates up to 10 cpl but it is really difficult and challenging work and I don't want to work that hard! LOL

MY OPINION: Stop pitying yourself for your base rate...it's average and above compared to many. You will make your money with high production, high QA, and working evenings/weekends.

Oops, meant they DON'T understand what they read....nm
nm
I agree - easier to read and understand, looks more professional to me
nm
Read the WHOLE THREAD, from the begnning,then you'll understand!...sm
It is very wrong to jump in right in the middle of a thread!
You have to read what lead to this particular comment.
In 12 years of MT'ing I've never re-read an entire chart. Edit/read as I type. nm

Yes, I read your post, and I just re-read it, and I've copied and pasted for you in case

you've forgotten your own words! Your post above is 100% different "flavor" to it, now all positive and cheery! Your first post was 100% doom and gloom every which way, including "raining on your parade", and "if you want to go forward"...God, sounds like she's talking about jumping into oncoming traffic! Here is your quote:


My first boss (the one who hired me as a new grad) gave me some words of wisdom that I haven't forgotten. She said that transcribing at home with small children NEVER works under any circumstance. Either the work will suffer or the parenting will suffer.


****


How can the word "NEVER" in caps be interpreted in any positive way? You took about 8 paragraphs to cover every aspect and completely dash this poor woman's dream.  I'm not blind, I'm not talking about day care at all, I'm talking about the total negativity of your original post! You know exactly what I'm talking about, cause you added some sugar to your second version! And that's much nicer than the first!


Oh I've read that site and continue to read it...sm
I agree...much motivation there. I have tried to quit numerous times in the past and did successfully quit when I was pregnant for the first time many years ago but I have never managed to summon up the strength or resolve to stay quit. Thus the "need" for a financial investment in my efforts. It somehow makes it more motivational to know that I have $$$ invested in this effort over and above the $$$ saved on cigarettes.
Who had time to read?LOL I only get a chance to read This Old House once in a while. (nm)

I didn't read the other posts but just read this
My daughter got pregnant at 17, said she wanted an abortion but BF didn't. I have a wonderful 2-1/2 yo grand daughter that I don't think I could live without...and now, guess what? I don't. I have custody of her. She was dropped off on my door, I got court ordered temporary custody and final custody hearing in a month.

I'm single with no family support. I had just taken a new MT job one month before this happened and they have been wonderful during my adjusting to being a mom again and I hope I can resume a normal schedule by next week.

I'm passing no moral judgments or giving moral advice. The situation is what it is. My prayers are with everyone involved.
Definitely an eye-opening read. Having my teens read it, too. nm

Do you have a website for yours?? nm
..
What new website
I must live in the dark. I don't know anything a new website either.
I don't know about the new website either
This is all very frustrating.  I have gotten no letter and no e-mail regarding any of this.  Anyone that can provide details would be appreciated. 
MQ Website
If your on the DEP platform, you should be on i-mail.  If not, go to www.medquist.com, register, then you can access the QNet...side bar has all the latest and greatest.  We got the email last week, then I got my snail mail copy Saturday...but, only a paragraph or 2 on the new pay plan...but my take was the real issue they wanted to get out is to preserve ALL documents at ALL costs for the upcoming legal battle in court
But their website says...

They value their transcriptionists! And websites don't lie.


Which website?
//
website
I sometimes use www.rxlist.com
www.mayoclinic.com
and
www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo

Hope this helps.

What is the URL of their website?
If enough of us visit the website and state we would not use their service after reading what has happened to you... You might, just might, get a different tune from these people????
They said on their website that...sm
the pet(s) would be brought to you. I was also wondering the same thing until I read that on the website. I'm thinking they don't want people from 50+ states going down there for safety reasons, and maybe for congestion reasons. (There's alot of animal lovers out there!)

The website is up again now, and the picture of the frightened dog I was talking about is on there too. http://www.bestfriends.org/

Gosh, I know they are so busy, but I'm anxiously waiting to see if I can be a foster parent; so worried about those furry friends. It seemed time was of the essence for some of them, and that was yesterday a.m. I want to go down there and get them so bad. I just may have to do that if I don't hear from them.

Thanks for allowing me to get OT.
Wow! Thanks for the website. sm

I didn't forget.  Never will.


I had my tissues out.  What made me really lose it was Lee Greenwood's song.  It was 13 years ago when my daughter was only 10 years old and her dance class used that song in a dance recital and they all did sign language while dancing.  Everyone in the audience was in tears or close to tears.


When 9/11 happened, we had no cable TV.  We did manage to get the local PBS station in and watched in horror.  We had just moved into our house.  We had a flag, but no pole, so we went out about 6:00 p.m. that night with the younger kids and hung the flag from a branch on our tree in the front.  Within the next week there were flags at every house in our neighborhood.


I'll never forget.


Try going to their website and
paying with real American greenbacks.
here's a website for you

website
go to the state website for your area and type disability into the search box
Does anybody have the website...(sm)

where you can change your address online for multiple magazine subscriptions?  I did this a few years ago and am moving again...cannot for the life of me now find that website. 


Thanks!

Thanks - duh - I should have tried that first! lol....appreciate it
Here's the website

If you go to the website for

I think it is AAPA.  If you put physician assistant into Google it should come up as one of the first entries.


I think they have an explanation on there. It does vary by state, and I think the state board of medicine sets the standards. 


I do know that PAs have to have the MD sign off on their charts - again, it depends by state whether this has to be done right away, once per month, etc....The ARNPs I type for don't have to have a sig line for the MD, but the PAs do. 


There are probably specific procedures that PAs cannot do.  The difference in schooling is quite a bit.  PA is a 2 year Masters program in most cases, and applicants are expected to have health care experience to build upon.  Medical school, as you know is much longer than that, but you can go straight from undergrad to med school (if you can get in).  I am sure there are still PA programs you can enter as a college freshman and graduate with a Masters in 5-6 yrs, but many of them are now Masters level, requiring a BS to enter.

Where's the website? I'd like to look. nm

Their website
shows a link to the owner who is an eye physician in New York.  Wonder if they have employees or ICs?

She could use more votes. You can only vote once though, which I did earlier.
What was the website? sm
I better get some. I sleep awful.
I just went to the NBC website...
And it says an upcoming episode has not yet been scheduled. Weird! I like that show too and I kind of forgot about it last season. I saw the ads for the reruns too. Wonder why they haven't scheduled new shows yet...
The website said it came with some.
That part looked good to me, because I key directly into my client's system, so I don't have a lot of reports laying around to "train" it with.

I know I've already tried to input the same abbreviation several times into my present expander, so I know it'll be next to useless shortly. No way I'll recall all the oddball abbreviations I've put in to get around that.
You can set up a website too...sm
I've been contacted because of my brochures and my website. I was searchable on Yahoo and Google with my site.

I just know of their website nm

Crash and burn, baby!
It should be on the IT website SM
I'm not sure, though. Check out www.fitaly.com (IT's website).

I thought this site was another address now.  I didn't know this one still existed.  I accidentally typed it instead of .net and I was surprised.  Glad it is though.

Can I ask what the website is?
Here is a website..
