Least favorite - Taylor. His seizures/tremors are getting old and I agree he needs another makeover!

Chris and Kellie are my favorites!

Mandisa :(

This was Mandisa's last night. nm

I predict that Taylor and Mandisa ....sm
will be the 2 finalists in the end. I can't stand Kelly - she's too flirty and gets on my nerves. I did laugh at Simon's comments about Bucky having the Jessica Simpson hairstyle!
I don't know how anyone can say that Mandisa "doesn't have it." She's amazing. nm

Ditto on Pickler.....sad that Mandisa left...sm
Mandisa sang far better than several of these singers and has far more charisma and talent then let us say KELLIE PICKLER and Bucky..........
Great interview from Mandisa on VH1 site.
www.vh1.com I get the newsletter sent to my mailbox so you might have to search, but it was sent to me today. It's terrific. Love her!

If you have Windows XP - go into Microsoft Word and then under file click open - there should be a box on the left side that has the following History, My Documents, Desktop, Favorites. Click on the Favorites and see if they are there. If not check your recycle bin to see if you deleted your history and files of your favorites by mistake - there is probably an easier way but I just did this and found all my favorites. Hope this helps.
my 2 favorites are
(not that anyone really cares mind you) 
ER notes and oncology. 
My favorites are...
1. Psych.
2. Ortho.
3. Cardiology.
4. Any discharge summaries.
My favorites are...
Control + backspace to delete words to the left.
Control + delete to delete words to the right.
Shift + arrows to highlight words and/or paragraphs.
Control + arrows to move between words.
Here is another nice tip:
Messed-up Typing
If you are a new Word user, you may have noticed that there are many ways you can mess up your document using Word. This comment isn't meant to be flippant or disparaging. The truth of the matter is that Word provides quite a bit of editing power. Along with that power goes the ability to mess up a document if the powerful tools are not used correctly.
A very simple example may be in order. Let's say you are typing along, and you look at your document. You notice that some text you previously entered is gone, and each character you type seems to also delete a character. What is going on?
If this happens to you, stop for just a moment. Take a look at the status bar at the bottom of the Word document window. If you see the letters OVR in bold type on the status bar, the problem is that you have inadvertently hit the INSERT key as you were typing. When you do, Word enters a special editing mode known as "overtype mode" (that's what the OVR characters stand for). While in overtype mode, everything you type replaces something else in your document. For instance, when you type a letter, it replaces the letter to the right of the insertion point. When overtype mode is not active, your text is inserted where the insertion point is located.
To undo your messed-up document, first turn off overtype mode by pressing the INSERT key again. (The OVR characters on the status bar should no longer be bold.) Then, press CTRL+Z to undo your last edit. You can continue to press CTRL+Z until all the characters you inadvertently overtyped are again within your document. Now you can go ahead and continue typing without overtyping your original text.
The otherwise is one of my favorites. How about a ...sm
small 1-cm incision? Is there a large 1-cm incision? Why is it I only hear a linear longitudinal incision but never a linear horizontal incision. Another one I hear frequently is the surgeon removed "all dead and devitalized tissue". Another one is "I put sutures in both the subcutaneous tissue, as well as the skin". Good grief! Of course I do edit, transcribe dead/devitalized, take out as well as, etc., but some you just have to leave as is.
one of my favorites did this
every time she said CBC she followed it with capital C, capital B, capital C. She was a PA.

I use all three of these pretty much on a daily basis. If I can't locate on one, one of the others probably will find it. Good luck.
Retrieving Favorites
If you have WinXP, you can do a system restore by going down to the bottom left-hand corner and clicking on Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, System Restore. There you can restore your computer to a time before the the folder was lost. It's very simple and doesn't take very long, maybe 10 minutes or so.
i have a couple favorites
one is a zuchinni spice pie (mix it all in blender and pour into crust) -- the other is a casserole using mushroom soup. e/m me if you'd like these.
Thanks. I put this in Favorites to try when I catch a

Buy new and copy your favorites.
Just buy a new computer and copy your favorites to it. It's very easy to do. If you cannot copy the file the favorites are in to a disk and transfer them that way, write down the URLs and re-enter them by hand on your new machine.
It is unlikely that anyone will allow you to buy the company machine. That, and their requirement that you not engage in personal entertainment or business with it, is not meant to treat you like a child or to make your life difficult.
This is an effort to comply with computer security requirements mandated by HIPAA. As a part of their business partner agreements, the company has to uphold the same privacy and security standards as the client. That will include restricting access to patient information contained on hard drives, as well as ensuring that information in computers is not affected by malware that can be picked up from visiting unauthorized sites on the net or personal email.
If this bothers you, imagine how much more it will bother you for transcription to cease being outsourced,which looks to be the security solution some large interests are looking at.
LOL, and the good accounts are all taken by favorites (sm)
but they are always looking for experienced MTs for the bad accounts.
A bag of jelly beans is one of my favorites.
Use a large clear bag (if you can't find a clear trash bag, a drycleaning bag will work but does tear easily), cut holes in the bottom of the bag for your feet to go through and fasten the top around your neck. Fill with a variety of colors of small balloons. The small ballooons used for water balloons (however just fill them with air) work great. Take the label from a bag of jelly beans and enlarge it on the copy machine and either trace it onto the front of the costume or could even just adhere the copy to the costume. Doesn't work well if you have to travel very far in a car or have to sit very much, however!
How do MTSOs pick favorites out of
I work as requested, I complete my work, I never complain about the work they send me, I've even been complimented on my quality. So what makes a favorite?... if ANYONE with this company is getting worse than I am, I'd hate to be them!
Cool! Thanks. I added it to my favorites!

Lost is definitely one of my favorites this year...nm
nm
Live one of my favorites too!! I was in my glory
when Chris was singing with Ed, the lead singer!! I really hope Chris goes far, what great talent!! He did give credit to them for the Walk The Line song, it just got edited out of his interview the night he sang it.
my Transcription favorites are gone! Is there a way to backup
the favorites in Internet Explorer? I had quite a few folders under my main "transcription folder" for directories and software programs, equipment, and yikes, I can't think of what else! I'm near tears here!! Is there a way to get them back?
I put things like that, web sites, in my Favorites

Because you werent on the Favorites List.

deleting bookmarks/favorites
Since I downloaded Windows SP3 I am unable to delete my bookmarks, just get a message that indicates bookmark error, failure to delete. Searched Google but no good help. Any ideas anyone?
Yep, Chris is my fav . . . I think
Bucky might go.
Chris all the way....sm
Just think he has not been picking as good of songs. Cannot stand Elliott and his vibrato.
Chris D
I WAS SHOCKED TOO! I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT CHRIS WAS VOTED OFF. HE PROVED HE COULD SING WHATEVER THEY "THREW" AT HIM. ROCK ON CHRIS :)
Chris...
The band is Fuel and he sang their song "Hemorrhage" a while back on AI. I also heard that there was, in fact, a phone number error on the show Tuesday, where his votes were going to Katherine...this was on a local radio station where I live. Not sure if he's gonna come back or not...have to wait and see I guess! 
hey chris,
I didn't read many of them, but it seems you've taken a lot of flack here. I will say that at MDI, they have a doctor on staff that is head of the QA dept. But I expect if you got on there, you'd have a more-than-full-time job, and no time for private practice, though I cannot say for sure. There are benefits to the MTs as we are statutory, but not sure about whether it is offered to those in other capacities. I think there is a group insurance out there for the self-employed, though that is not what I have. I'd be inclined to think you might fare better doing a crash course in coding and go that route, as that can be done from home too. Otherwise, best bet would be to contact the various MTSOs and inquire directly of them, as many here will only bite your head off. Sorry we cannot be of more help. The best to you.
In IE, just go to File, then Export to back up your favorites.
To restore, go back to File, then Import.
SM for a really awesome abbreviation website I have in my favorites.
You can look up expansions for abbreviations. It also lists normal lab values, symbols and numbers definitions for the deciphering the ShortHand that nurses and other clinical personnel use on the chart. It even has the JCAHO dangerous abbreviations list. It just has a lot of little neat functions that I've found helpful. Here it is:

Chris....and Kelly....
I really wish that America would get it right for once and not base this on "looks" but on talent. Let's be real, seriously Kelly is not that great, she's just a cute Barbie. Katherine is the most talentin IMO in regard to the girls. I really would love to see Chris win it, he is the most talented and not bad looking either!! A total package. Just like Bo last season. He really should have won it. Carrie is just a robotic Barbie now.
Chris is da bomb!!!
Isn't that awesome how Elliott sings with 90% hearing loss in one ear?
Chris rocks
I can't believe Bucky wasn't gone sooner. Lisa was definitely a better singer than he was, he was always off and he did that rapid blinking...I don't think he was talented at all.
That;s how I feel about Chris (nm)

Chris got the boot.
A very talented man; dont' fret his life has been changed forever, he will be a very, very rich man, and deserving of it. He is a bald rocker? I cannot get behind that, if you are a rocker you have to have hair. He has such an ego that when Seqrist blurted it out, he was shocked. I feel sorry for his overweight wife and her insecurities. At one point earlier in the AI season, he did a song that he felt was proper, about trying to be loyal to his wife, and all things associated with sudden stardom. You guys take this far to seriously, the American people vote, and we have only been wrong once, when Rubin beat out Clay, I could not believe that, still don't. I was glad to see him go, he needed to be taken down at least a notch. He got too confident, and last week and this week, he got beaten out. Get over it.
Sorry disgruntled Chris fan.
You will get over it.
I just saw an interview with Chris from AI
on our local Fox news. Everyone was figuring he was going to win and he was supposed to fly home tonight and there were going to parties all over town tomorrow. Anyway, he couldn't get out a complete sentence that didn't have "well you know" in it. Articulate he isn't.
Musically, it should have been Chris.
He was exceptionally talented. I like Elliott and Taylor, too, but Chris was amazing and even Simon knew it. Kat is getting by on being cute. Her voice is weak and she is often out of tune. She can work the camera and that is what many of the young female stars having going for them nowdays, i.e., Brittney Spears and Jessica Simpson. Mediocre talent and sex. That's what they are about. It's a darn shame. I think Kat should go and should have gone a long long time ago.
Chris Tomlin
I remember him from years ago and the Dawson McAlister youth conferences. He was one of the main vocalists. Glad to hear that he has made it big-time.
Chris I am not trying to be rude sm
to you but because you are an optometrist (which is not a medical doctor) you are not qualified to be a MT editor..........unless you can do this for an ophthalmologist. Even then would be qualified? I doubt it. Could you really go through ophtalmology operative reports and correct them. I understand what you are trying to do and its not a bad idea, I just don't think you are going to find anything that you are looking for, much less with benefits.
It kind of reminds me of people I use to get who would apply for jobs and think they could do this because they were a "nurse." I can tell you from experience it doesn't work and they don't have the same grasp of medical terminology that an experienced working MT has. I wish you well though in whatever you do to get that group insurance. That is a big factor in everybody's profession these days. If you can qualify for insurance on your own its so expensive nobody can afford it.
Chris - a suggestion for you (sm)
A better idea might be to see whether there are insurance companies that could use your services and special knowledge to do things like review claims, evaluate medical necessity and quality of services provided, etc. Of course, I'm referring to claims in related to eye care.
Insurance companies utilize nurse-specialists (e.g., neonatal) to review certain types of claims, so I can't see why they wouldn't use someone with your training.
Just an idea.
