As much as he loves his city and his people, which is very obvious, nobody could have predicted that Katrina was going to be this devastating.  Judging from the news reports, the people that stayed behind were, for the majority, the people that had no resources to get out.  The disabled, the ill, the elderly and the poor. 

I feel that the capable "idiots" that stayed behind to "ride out the storm" got whatever they deserved.

As far as the poster below saying that the mayor should have organized buses, etc., to get people out of the city, it's a good idea in hindsight, however you don't have months to plan for something like this and New Orleans is not a city of 10,000 people where a 2 day prestorm check of every building could be conducted.

If the mayor had a month to make preparations and knew the exact outcome of the devastation, things may have gone very smooth.  Just as relief efforts may have been immediate.  The devastation is far beyond what anyone expected.

Relief is there now within 4 days. Maybe not soon enough for some, but in a scenario that was beyond predictions such as this, there is a window of time needed to organize and recruit, etc.

This devastation was a very unfortunate act of nature, which is something none of us will ever be able to do anything about except get out if we can.

Even with rising gas prices, please open your dwindling pocketbooks and send even a dollar to the Red Cross for the relief effort. 

I wish I could have sent my check 4 days ago, but who knew?

No, decent dictators can form complete sentences.  They don't erase every single word interlaced with ah, um, er, then sit there so long that a 15 minute dictation only has 43 lines.  If a person can't complain about having a bad day to her fellow MTs without getting jumped on, what does that say about your personality?  The only B**** I see here is YOU.

listen to, and frankly the sound quality wasn't as clear.  But I was listening through my computer speakers, not with headphones, and I was controlling the dictation with my mouse, not a footpedal.

Do you work for MDI-MD?  My account there is C-phone now and getting ready to switch to wav.  Personally I will be glad not to have to worry about long distance and I'm ecstatic about the mobility it will give me - I can take my laptop out on the deck and transcribe on nice days (too much of a hassle to lug the C-phone out there and get it all set up).  I can take my laptop on vacation and access work from wherever I am as long as there is internet access.  Hopefully there will be no adverse effect on the sound quality but I'm willing to trade a little bit of clarity for no LD and increased mobility!

Wouldn't it be nice if there were wireless internet access anywhere you happened to be?  Like you could just take your laptop with you anywhere and get on the internet from ANYWHERE, whether it be in the sticks or a metropolitan city?  I'm sure that is coming one of these days, but it sure would be nice if it were available now!

I have an online musicstore with Burnlounge at http://burnlounge.com/mlbliss and they are LEGAL to download from.

I would be very careful dowloading free music--they are fining people for this.  If you aren't paying for it--then consider it illegal

like soothing music you would get with yoga.  A lot of people like Windsor Pilates.  I personally did not care for them.  I LOVE Denise Austin's pilates DVDs.  I have a couple.  One has a 30-minute workout and then I have one that is Hit the Spot in which the work outs are only 10 minutes.  I will do one of the core or abdomen ones in the a.m. and then do a lower bod one later in the day. 

Pilates do wonders for your strength, toning, flexibility.  I have been doing them off and on for years.  If I stop doing them for a few months and come back, I can tell the different in my flexibility and strength in just about 4 work outs.  I do them about 3 times a week.

My 9yo grandson is into ACDC. I want to turn him on to some alternatives. I am downloading some music for a Xmas present for him and need some suggestions as to something a 9yo ACDC fan might enjoy. Thanks.

be able to burn CDs too.    We don't have iPods. 

Tried iTunes - liked it, but since we don't have Apple products not sure it will work for us.

Tried Wal-Mart - liked it, but songs are only good for 30 days unless you burn.  I like to burn, but usually have that CD in the car and like to play off the computer too.

Various others that have a monthly fee charge additional $$ if you burn to CD and then if you discontinue the service supposedly all MP3 files are rendered inactive.

We range from 11 to 48 and like a variety of music, also like something user friendly. 

I need a chart where they list all the services and the pros and cons of each.

like the O'Neill brothers.  If there is a good beat, I tend to type faster.  I also make myself get up every hour or every 300 lines and stretch, play with the cat, or just glance outside. It also helps to have some hobbies or other things to get you out of the house and circulating with people in the real world.  Volunteering is great and I also like to help at the polls on election day. I have to use an answering machine to screen calls because I have found that when you work at home everyone assumes you are available to chat.
