After 200 views, a message shows a "flame". (SM)

Posted By: Goldbird (Moderator) on 2006-03-13
In Reply to: Newbie to board - what is a flame? nm - CD

It means it has been popular to view.

Flaming can also mean that there are many conflicting replies.

Welcome to MTStars. Make sure you become familiar with posting guidelnes; a good rundown on those would be to see the Company board - the guidelines are listed at the top.

Please be aware that this is a public forum. You may, at times, have to look past negative posts to get to positive ones.

If you have any problems, e-mail me - I'll be glad to help.

It happens when there are so many views.

My views as the last 2 here
I was just talking yesterday about how most of your life is behind you before you know it (wish I could live some 60 more years), yesterday was when I was in high school, wasn’t it? Where did the 20s, 30s or even the 40s go - like a blur. I tell the younger than me all the time, time flies and it does. I love my life now, wish the years would slow down a little though.
My political views
You need to take my political views with a grain of salt.  I really don't know enough about politics to even be on here running my mouth.  Furthermore, I don't hate President Bush, I do so enjoy picking on him; but I know he has a very difficult job, and I bet money he is a lot smarter than me.
Means it had a lot of views...sm
I think 200 and over.
281 views and only 1 reply
Haha. Thanks puzzled, I appreciate your response. I guess the other QAs dont want to give up their secret info. ;)

After a certain number of views
It will flame.  I am not real sure how many hits a particular post has to get before turning to a flame, but I do believe this is why.  As for sm, I really don't know.  Maybe see message? 
Views in Word
I believe the only "permanent" change in view is the "print view". Perhaps you can write a macro that will change the view for you? You could type in the macro code before starting each report ... just a thought ...
51 views, but no answers
Maybe I'm not being clear with my questions. I've seen IC jobs that I'm interested in. Should I go ahead and apply, do the testing?  I have DSL, Windows XP, I can get the version of Word they want, if necessary. The national I worked for had proprietary software so I didn't need Word, although I have worked on it in the past.  It would be the medical spellchecker, expanders, foot pedals, etc. that I would have to purchase if they weren't supplied.  I just would appreciate some feedback on this. I'd rather be an employee w/benefits.
I like differing views and opinions...

It would be a very dull and uninteresting world (and bb) if everyone thought the came way.


I believe discussion and hearing what others think is a GOOD thing. 


MQLover gives her opinion.  What's wrong with that??? 


I feel for you - I am too! I don't like to push my views on others
and to each his own, but I certainly wouldn't complain if I never had to touch a piece of bacon (ugh!) or raw meat again. I'm married to a meat lover.
Over 200 views, hot topic indication.
//
i agree. not all views are represented on these
boards, it's too dangerous to be honest - you'll get attacked.


well, MTMommy has many views about MT work
she's really not interested in doing a professional job, in my opinion. she just wants money for nothing and to stay home and get paid.
Over 200 views, it marks as HOT topic.

Diagnostics/add views different from screenings
With diagnostic studies and add-views (follow-ups to abnormal screening studies) our MDs read the films while the patient is still there. Depending on who the referrer is, he often talks to patients if the results are not good. Even if he does not talk to the patient, you can be sure he has put in a call to the referring MD so that you will usually be notified the same day of any need for biopsy. But if it's negative, the referrer may not be as quick to call their patient, in general. And not every biopsy comes back with cancer, either, so don't panic until it's time to panic.
The reason why is because we do not agree with their views.
t
wrong! she views this as a "problem"
furthermore, she has a 'gut reaction'. then she is looking for a 'rule', apparently to support her in not putting the dictation in the report. That is the only conclusion that can be logically drawn from 'looking for a rule'. Otherwise this post would not have even been made or debated. THAT is why there is strong reaction.
It means a "hot" topic with a lot of views. NM

nonsense - we can all express our views...we are all adults (sm)
I just felt compelled to share this information because I just learned it.

haha - I was on atkins for 4 years, all I did was eat meat!

It just seemed important to me, like I feel it is another thing I have been 'lied' to by the government. You find the reality of things, and it is not how it is supposed to be.

Please post recipes because I still have to cook meat for my boyfriend...I just ask for forgiveness first...smile!
Her statement is posted regarding MTStar's views. (SM)
She is the Administrator and owner of this website and has every right to post her views, and is making sure that board is aware of the evolving issues before it.

Discussion posts about offshoring belong on the Offshore Concerns board. Discussion posts about politics belong on the political boards.

These are simple guidelines. No more needs to be asked or discussed about it.

Does anyone know of any websites where I can find different types of x-ray views? TIA

Someone answered on this below, that thing pops up when it has had a lot of hits -see the # of views
probably set for 100 or something like that. So when it have however many views, the little fire springs up indicating is "hot" and has been looked at a lot!

To the poster below who equates the BIble Belt with political views
USING TWO COWS TO EXPLAIN. . .

A CHRISTIAN DEMOCRAT: You have two cows. You keep one and give one to your neighbor. Then you covet it.

A SOCIALIST: You have two cows. The government takes one and gives it to your neighbor. You form a cooperative to tell him how to manage his.

A DEMOCRAT: You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. You feel guilty for being successful. You vote people into office who tax your cows, forcing you to sell one to raise money to pay the tax. The people you voted for then take the tax money and buy a cow and give it to your neighbor. You feel righteous. Barbra Streisand sings for you.

A REPUBLICAN: You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. So?

A COMMUNIST: You have two cows. The government seizes both and provides you with milk. You wait in line for hours to get it. It is expensive and sour.

A FASCIST: You have two cows. The government seizes both and sells you the milk. You join the underground and start a campaign of sabotage which ultimately blows up the cows.

CAPITALISM, AMERICAN STYLE: You have two cows. You sell one, buy a bull, and build a herd of cows.

DEMOCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE: You have two cows. The government taxes you to the point you have to sell both to support a man in a foreign country who has only one cow, which was a gift from your government.

BUREAUCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE: You have two cows. The government takes them both, shoots one, milks the other, pays you for the milk, then pours the milk down the drain.

AN AMERICAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You sell one, lease it back to yourself and do an IPO on the 2nd one. You force the two cows to produce the milk of four cows. You are surprised when one cow drops dead. You spin an announcement to the analysts that you have reduced your expenses. Your stock goes up.

A FRENCH CORPORATION: You have two cows. You go on strike because you want three cows. You go to lunch. Life is good.

A JAPANESE CORPORATION: You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. They learn to travel on unbelievably crowded trains. Most are at the top of their class at cow school.

A GERMAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You re-engineer them so they are all blond, drink lots of beer, give excellent quality milk, and run a hundred miles an hour. Unfortunately they also demand 13 weeks of vacation per year.

AN ITALIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows but you don't know where they are. While ambling around, you see a beautiful woman. You break for lunch. Life is good.

A RUSSIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You have some more vodka. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 12 cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka. You produce your 10th, 5-year plan in the last 3 months. The Mafia shows up and takes over however many cows you really have.

A SWISS CORPORATION: You have 5000 cows, none of which belong to you. You charge for storing them for others. If they give milk, you tell no one.

A BRAZILIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You enter into a partnership with an American corporation. Soon you have 1000 cows. You expropriate them. The American corporation goes chapter 11.

AN INDIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You worship them.

:D

Yeah, okay. Don't share your views and opinions. Just be insulting, that's helpful. SM
You do realize that your profession is about more than just you.  We are all MTs.  What is going on in our profession affects us all.  It's not just about you or me.
Venting-why do people keep putting nm and THEN writing a message?? nm means no message - sm
Please put sm if you have a message and NM if there is no message other than your subject line.  It makes it easier when reading these messages.  thanks so much and have a nice day everyone. 
I can't see where that shows that at all....
xx
Boy that shows you what I know
I though it was only the MALES that sprayed.
shows
Desperate Housewives, Boston Legal, Lost, Alias, Medium, The Amazing Race.  I'm with you will really miss Judging Amy, American Dreams and Joan of Arcadia.  The new Ghost Whisper looks like it might be good.
Yes it does because it shows us where you are,
x
It will be new shows. DH saw a
commercial about it a couple of weeks ago.  I couldn't figure out the show this past Sunday.  I only saw a little bit, but I didn't remember some of the events.  Can't wait for it to start back.  That is the only TV program I watch during the week. 
No I don't like any of those shows or that
dumb Maury Povich. I am sick of all of these paternity tests and all of that screaming, cursing and violence.

This isn't entertainment nor does it represent most of our country.
Shows

I tried to get tickets to O but they were sold out.  Thank you all for your suggestions. 


I usually do not like reality shows, but this one I
have to see. I love that show!! I do feel sorry for the wannabe chefs dealing with Chef. I gotta say I am watching tonight, the finale!!
Fall TV shows
I love to watch House. It comes on the Fox channel. It was on Tuesday's last season. Not sure yet when it will be on coming up on the new season.
Junk shows.
Sad commentary, but they try to please the majority of viewers. Glad to hear I'm not the only one offended.
AAMT BOS shows 250,000, as does
x
Talk shows

I thought about it as I do quite a bit of transcribing different types of seminars but when I saw what they charge people for a transcription of the show I thought boy they must not pay much as it does not cost much to get a transcription of a show, less than $20.  So they must have some type of automated transcription as for a 8 hour seminar I get anywhere from $500 to $750 and for a three day seminar I get close to $2000.  Per line charge.  But is frustrating to do sometimes as the audio is not the greatest at time.


But that was my thoughts on the subject.


Maybe if they shows some respect
There are plenty of good MTs out there who are constantly getting robbed by the poor pitful management people you are defending. They ship our work overseas, leaving me without work which takes money out of my hands. They force us to take on bad accounts that they committed to and have to lie about because they are so bad (bait and switch) and I can't get my lines strictly because of poor management, unsympathetic management, unprofessional management. I would love to stay with the same company, but I'm forced to leave because I have bills to pay and management does not give a xxxxx about that.
They put this on and took off good shows like (sm)
Joan of Arcadia, they also took off Point Pleasant for those of us pulling for the good in Christina. Shows over good and evil have been going on like forever... Hello people. But Book of Daniel just deals with life today in a cynical way. Joan of Arcadia said something.
When will the reality shows end?? and...
Who keeps paying for them? Come on America!! How about quality not quantity? Shameful, I think.
When they have bad/boring shows
it seems like there are new bottom 3 people chosen.  I thought Mandisa had a good voice, but country was not her best (as the case for many of them).  Also, poor song choice.  Next week they sing Queen songs.  I've been recording the shows because they're just not as good as they have been.  I think Paula needs to cut down on her medication.  She's beginning to slurrrrrr her words again.
favorite tv shows

  1. The Office

  2. Oprah

  3. Dr. Phil

  4. Ellen (Loooove Ellen!)

  5. Will & Grace

  6. AI

  7. Sopranos

  8. Dateline

Not a bad try. After all, loads of shows on air saying you can become

Wow - how disgusting is right. Sure shows you
It's right up there on the Sickening Scale with that video someone posted a while back of "trainers" teaching companies how to bypass American workers' job applications, so they can then justify their outsourcing by saying there "aren't enough American workers".
There sure aren't - not when you kick all their applications under the rug or into the round file!
We need to lobby for laws in this country that will put a heavy tax on companies who outsource American livelihoods to other countries. We might as well put "For Sale" signs on our beaches, farmland, and national parks, because that's what'll be coming next.
Angelina seems like a man stealer, she just shows up

home.  She doesnt seem to have a personality either.  Oh well, when you're that gorgeous who needs a personality?  As far as men aging well, I think Al Pacino looks better now than he did back when he first came out.  He had those bags under his eyes, maybe he's gotten plastic surgery.  Other bad agers:  John Travolta (he looks like he ate the old John Travolta from Saturday night fever) and Nicolas Cage, an old crush of mine, awesome actor but seeming a bit hairless and bloated these days.
