Yes Well Babs also made the statement at some awards..sm
to the effect... "The only regret I have in life is that none of my children were gay".... which obliterated any idea I may have had of her intelligence.... I am far from anti-gay, have many gay friends... relatives .... but the statement was without intelligence or common sense for that matter... and really no purpose other than drawing attention to a heated issue..... Celine has one of a kind ... flawless voice..
Or a corporate restructuring to head off lawsuit awards.

Grammy Awards!!Feel like I just woke up from a coma..
Guess I'm really getting old now. I know my parents hated the music we listened to in the 60's but PLEASE somebody tell me it's not JUST ME!!! How do they come up with this crap???? Oh, that girl..she's country and I can actually understand what she's saying. "love your baby girl" whoever she is.
They are called Mary Mary

Regarding testing. I have given in-depth testing but I have come to find that sm
no matter what a company wants, be it ESL specialist, etc., the best test to give ANY applicant is one that is not planned, one given right on the spot, verbal, one that has not been scheduled so the person has had no time to get nervous, but throw about 15-20 questions at them, general knowledge for their level of skill, and it can tell you wonders about their knowledge that is retained!! I actually find that the retention rate of folks hired this way is actually higher than intense testing given by some of these larger national companies. We all know that it takes sometimes a couple of weeks for even the best MTs to understand (I am speaking of the ESLs or bad dictators). There are some companies that give these as tests and what does that tell? Tells nothing and means nothing! Some of these that do well on these actually cannot do the work. How do we know that these folks have not actually had someone else do the test for them?
I find the best way is to pull a pop test on the spot in the middle of the interview and it works! Don't ever give the same questions to two separate applicants. Have a database of questions to pull from. Score from the ones you ask and move on from there. If the person cannot do the work, you know it in a day.
I believe it was the old EDiX that used to give over the phone questions, but they still scheduled this and people had time to get nervous. This way there is no time and well, you would be surprised at what folks actually do know...and in some cases...what folks actually do not know when given multiple choice, but to me this is an excellent way of testing, takes very little time, which I personally consider to be too valuable to waste 3-4 hours on a test, which someone who is experienced and has worked for 10 to 15 years in the field should not be required to do anyhow, should not be asked to do. When you have worked 12 hours during that day for a company (and some have), why should they have to take 4 hours to do a test?!
Think about it!!
I have recently spoken to other recruiters from other companies and they have agreed with me on this and I hope it catches on because it certainly is less time consuming and tells you all you need to know without giving them the actual work to do.
Mary Kay all the way
Hi. I have used (and sold) Mary Kay since my early 20's. (I am now in my 40s) I have strayed from the path to other brands twice, and my face did not like them. So, I always always come back to Mary Kay. The newest and greatest is our microderm abrasion set! I SWEAR I HAVE NEW SKIN
Mary Kay
Skin care is so important....especially after 30!!! I love Mary Kay's Time Wise Cleanser and Moisturizer and the Microdermabrasion is unlike any other on the market!! I wouldn't want to be without it - EVER!! It's a staple in my budget! I highly recommend it for every skin type!! It's GREAT! Lisa
Mary Kay
I don't know where you get your information, but Mary Kay DOES NOT test products on animals!

Way to go Mary! Yum yum......
Mary.....(sm)
I have the exact same problem as you right now. Because of it, I am not having any success with installing the latest version of McAfee. It's actually stopping me from putting the anti-virus software on my computer. I was just wondering if you were able to solve your problem? I have no idea how to get rid of it?!!
Anyone know where Mary Patterson (of YOG)

Mary Kay is the bestest!
I've used it since I was an early teen (Mother sold it). She started me young because my older sister had horrible acne (it worked miracles on her). In my entire life I've had MAYBE 5 pimples :)
I'm 50 now, and looked way younger than my years ... until I went through treatment, which aged me, but I still look pretty good for a 50 year old.
I also tried a couple of other skin cares (VERY temporarily). My face itched, turned red, etc. I came straight back to MK, and won't stray again.
There's another one similar to Mary Kay... sm
called BeautiControl...talk about expensive!! On the other hand, I love Pampered Chef and most of their products, but can't stand some of the pushy consultants who think you just "need to have a party!" I understand that they make a living doing what they do, but give me a break!
Congrats Mary! :-) nm

Au Contraire, Mary...
I've SEEN voice recognition, through Escription, at its finest. It is most definitely not a fantasy on the other poster's part. The technology is amazing but, yes, it does continue to require human overseers for minor cleanup even when working at its best. These dictators were so good, even Escription could detect the subtle differences in, for example, Xanax and Zantac and various other sound-alike drugs.
The blessing and the curse of the technology is, it can only be as good as the humans dictating. We've all seen the deterioration in the quality of dictators, particularly over the past 3-5 years. While most of us tend to complain about sloppy dictators, indecisive 'transcriptionist, go back up' throughout the entire report, ESLs, etc., those are the MTs saving grace. With those types of dictators, the technology will never be able to fully render us obsolete.
In a perfect world with near-perfect dictators and the ability to edit their own work, I sadly predict we would all be looking for a new career within 5 years.
The technology is there and, in the right scenario, it's frighteningly accurate. Luckily, the all-too-human dictators are holding it back from rendering us obsolete.
Au Contraire, Mary...
With all due respect for your opinion, I must disagree. I've seen voice recognition, through Escription, at its finest, at optimal utilization. It is most definitely not a fantasy on the other poster's part. The technology is amazing but, yes, it does continue to require human overseers for minor cleanup even when working at its best. These dictators were so good, even Escription could detect the subtle differences in, for example, Xanax and Zantac and various other sound-alike drugs.

There you go again,Mary, answering
tsk, tsk, tsk...
Right, Mary...Keep telling yourself that
.
Who are you calling mary?
I AM NOT MARY! There you go again, thinking you are so darn smart. Well, you got the wrong person this time.
Exactly. That's how Mary Kay hooks women-SM
by showering them with positive attention, atta girl, you go girl. It is unnecessary and we are not dogs.
Maybe you remember as Nannay Mary on

i agree with Mary Kay prod's
i started using them because i complimented several georgeous-skinned older women and every one of them used Mary Kay. I was a consultant for 10 years, and still use the products. My mom uses Oil of Olay. Maybe its as good, but i am a believer in Mary Kay.
p.s. men typically poo-poo such notions -- nature of the beast i guess. This is very personal, its YOUR skin, so YOU should make the decision with no guilt!
I cannot use Mary Kay because they test on animals - sm
But I do use Estee Lauder and Oil of Olay. I consulted three dermatologists on getting Botox and they all said no way for me because I have no WRINKLES around my eyes or forehead ... at 39 years of age!
Have you had the frozen Mary B's biscuits?

Mary Morkin's list
Check out http://www.mtdaily.com/abbvs.txt I got Mary Morken's list from there. I believe there are 13,000 of them listed.
Also see http://www.mtdaily.com?mt1/abbv2.html That should give you even more links.
I'm referring to a printout I did in 2005 so I hope these are still good sites. I incorporated the lists into my own. Some abbreviations I like, some I don't and have changed once I developed my own system, but this will give you an idea just what you can do. But do get the book so you will know how to THINK in short form and come up with your own system. It took me a while to see how my brain worked and I've made modifications but boy do I depend on them to produce!
I'm sure Mary is real; why the exclamation?
nm
No, I was agreeing that Mary's arrogant.

Mary Patterson is with Futurenet in Monrovia, CA.

wow, hard to believe that Mary Kay products would cause allergies - sm
when they test on animals!!!! They have voiced to the public that they WILL NOT stop testing on animals.
And before anyone jumps down my throat, I am being sarcastic about my subject line. The point I'm trying to make is that Mary Kay tests ALL OF THEIR products NEW AND OLD on animals. Part of their reason was to "prevent allergies in humans" .... rrrrriiiiggghhttt
And you're miss Mary Sunshine, right?
nm
Wow, Mary. I live in BG too. Congrats. I'm jealous!
no msg
Mary, don't feel like you need to defend yourself or your questions...
Some people are just plain rude and maybe need a second job to occupy their time instead of lurking on this board waiting to make a nasty comment.
I was surprised when I first saw that too.
Mary Morken expander system
I need to make at least $150 a day every day. Where can I find a Mary Morken's method?
Thanks
Answer for Mary and Comment for Cranky
Mary, I have never worked for Transcend so I don't know much about the company except what I see here and by looking at their web site. It looks as though they offshore, never a good sign as it usually means low pay at the very least. If you don't have a problem with offshoring, and you should, then think about giving it a try. If India is in there, you probably won't be treated very well. I have been told it is a "cultural thing." Whatever.
Cranky Beach, I worked for a wonderful company (never though I'd leave) that was acquired by Acusis, a company with major offshoring. It was the same situation as you, they told us everything would stay the same, nothing would change. They were just biding their time . . . and after a while they started throwing all management from the old company under the bus. Then it was change after change after change, none for the better, mostly to transition to running things "the India way" and eventually ended up cutting everyone's pay. Soooo glad to be out of there.

She's right! The Mary Kay lip care is the ONLY MK stuff i use, works GREAT. nm

I use the same - Love oil of Olay! Mary Kay breaks my face out. nm

Mary Kay and Estee Lauder don't test, but Oil of Olay does.

Mary Morken's 2007 list of abbreviations SM
You can import Mary's list, or just copy it onto a CD or a little flash drive, I think it might be too big to print it out. Looking it over will give you a good idea of how to go about adding to your own list as well. There are 600+ dictators on the account I work on, so keeping whole reports doesn't work too well for me, and I have tried to make shortcuts for phrases instead. Also for capitalizing drug names that need it, and for correcting my most common errors. Happy New Year! Wise
Absolute truth, I had problems like this until trying the Mary Kay Satin Lips. sm
There are 3 parts, a balm, mask and triple-action enhancer. I used it twice a day for less than a week and the chapped lips are gone. It really does work and is worth it.

Testing for a new job
I am testing on Friday for a new job. I need this job very badly, because of the benefits. If anyone has any suggestions on where I can find some practice tests(written exams), please let me know! Thanks.

When testing, is it better to - sm
When testing for a company is it better to type verbatim or can you change things like grammar to make it actually correct?
Testing
I humbly say that I have never tested for a company where I have not been offered a job and I've tested plenty. I always type verbatim with the exception of changing grammar. If in doubt, I put (?), basically for anything I would send to QA if actually working. IMO if you start "correcting" you'll likely flunk the test. I've always tested for acute care so I have no idea what testing would be like for clinic work.
Not testing
Has anyone every been hired without being tested first? I was just asked to sign on with a company and start as soon as possible. I've already got ID# and everything. There was only one other company that did require testing but that fell through, could never get the information straight or help with it. Should I be leary of this one too?
