Must have been my ability to overlook. Now that it's pointed out,

I did scroll back down and see a bit. Guess I'll go back to overlooking them again, life's easier that way.

Please overlook typos. I am on my way
to bed and didn't proof anything. I appreciate that thanks.
Don't overlook WW Core Program...sm
similar to South Beach but more liberal (unlimited LF protein/NF dairy, unlimited vegies & fruits, unlimited whole grains, pasta/rice/potatoes once a day) with 35 flex points a week. No daily point counting, which to me makes more sense as a life-long plan, as I can't see counting points forever. I've lost 38 pounds on Core without starving and without obsessing over counting points. Has totally changed my life, the way I eat, and the way my family eats. Never ever have to go hungry. Wish I had known 10 years and 50 diets ago how easy losing the weight really is. It's mostly been a matter of patience. The first 15 to 20 came off pretty fast, the last 18 or so a bit slower, but now that I've learned to eat right and simply be more active for the first time in my life, I know the rest will come off with due time. Can't tell you how much peace the Core Program has brought to my life.
So I don't mislead you, unlimited really means "eat to until satisfied" not gorge non-stop. Once you get started, you really learn to listen to your body and cravings more or less dissappear. Hard to explain, but once you are eating a "clean", well-rounded diet on a consistent basis, cravings disappear and it's easy to eat just until satisfied.
Both WW plans, Points & Core, work. My suggestion is to look at them both and pick the one that best suits your lifestyle. Good luck.
As I pointed out before..........
;P
As pointed out below, maybe Dr was not ESL

I'm glad you pointed this out.
everytime I work "extra" as they ask, it ends up getting taken back with either REALLY hard work for a few days where my line count suffers OR they run completely out and tell me to 'hold off tonight'! It really is disgusting!
It pointed out something that NEEDED to be said
The OP is BRAND NEW. She has no idea what is right or wrong. She just believes her way is right and QA is wrong, even "made up". Paddywhack is right. You follow the preferences of the account that provides your paycheck. If you get a different job, their preferences will probably be different. That doesn't make them wrong. It just means that those are the rules you have to follow to get the paycheck. It's not rocket science. It's common sense. The OP needs to get off her high horse and stop thinking she knows everything and start learning what her employer wants so she can KEEP getting that paycheck.
Are you asking me about OSI? I don't understand why I'm being pointed out
regarding this company. Please elaborate.
That is exactly why I pointed out her errors . . .
Otherwise I would never have done that.
I dont know why its not been pointed out yet..
that the money you are saving in gas, you are paying back into a higher car payment. Yes the hybrids save on money your putting in at the pump, but instead youre going to just turn around and put it into the finance company who youre making your payment to. Compare the prices...generally...with any given model...a gas model as opposed to same model in a hybrid runs anywhere in the neighborhood of $10,000-$15,000 more. Youre not actually saving any money, youre just sending it somewhere else.
So true. Or you have pointed out sm
about 5 or 6 serious medical terminology errors in the job and they want to ignore those and argue about something trivial that was pointed out (and you are still right to point out). You can't win for losing in this job. I get the same excuses all the time. There are some extremely nasty MTs out there but they can argue all they want about how they've always done things, when the quality score comes out and they are below 98% I just laugh.
I've pointed this out before, but here's a rerun...
You have to vote the opposite of what you want. It's crazy, but I think it's like that deliberately so that it's harder to get the 10 thumbs down votes to automatically have the post removed. Like I said, I've tried to tell the moderators this at least 2 other times, and yet it goes unfixed.
Not always ... as a poster pointed out below, with One Suite, it is $1.80 per hour. sm
So, if you can't get unlimited, that's the next best thing. Best I was offered with an 800-number was 9 cpl. So (at 300 lph).......... I could make $27 per hour and not pay long distance ......... or I could make $33 per hour and pay $1.80 per hour ... hmmmm ...... the math seems easy. :-)
Just my take on things, of course.
Careful girls, this is NOT the religion board as pointed out above!

Ability to get job is what matters most
Yes,Andrews and M-Tec are more expensive than a CC, but if you want to work from home, the companies that are looking to hire you don't know if your CC program is adequate. Some are, some aren't, and there are lots of them around the country. The companies know that if you successfully completed Andrews or M-TEC, you are likely to succeed. There are so many posts on these boards from newbies who can't find jobs, yet M-TEC and Andrews grads get hired. I was hired fresh out of school by a large national, worked there 3 years, and was just hired by a smaller MTSO. Getting both jobs was a breeze. I have never had to test for a job. Both companies told me they hired me because I am an M-TEC grad, and they did not feel testing was necessary.
I work on Winscribe. There is the ability to
see which MTs are on Winscribe when you go into it. They also can see how many minutes it took to transcribe a report. They probably do averages. I do not know who you work for but I tend to follow the eight hour shift with two breaks and a lunch. It is easy for me since I came out of a hospital setting where I had to work that way.
I do have a recommendation. The Phillips comes with the ability
to download twice and I would make sure I set that up. Download to the file that will be coming to you. Then use the backup download to a file that is totally separate. I call it backupvoicefiles. I have found files in the backupvoicefiles that for some reason didn't come to me in the regular file. They would have been lost if I didn't know to check this. Phillips has no explanation for why this happens. I have been most happy with the Phillips equipment especially since I figured this part out. When the girls are looking for work that he claims that dictates and I have not transcribed, I know the approximate numbers to check and have them go into the backupvoicefile folder and check to see if it is there.
Good luck. My doctors love the Phillips better than they did the Olympus and much fewer problems. 
Right on, JMO. Also, when I have the ability to choose dictations SM
from a list (which I don't have at my current work, darn), I like to gather up all the dictations I can find for bad dictators and do them together to learn that dictator right up front, instead of struggling over months. I'll also use them to put together a template, which if dictation's really horrible will include a whole pack of phrases he/she has been known to use, a grab bag of possibilities to scan over. May sound like a bother to some, but it's a real serenity-saver.
He's trying to take away my ability to give myself raises
He doesn't want to pay me for my templates, my macros. He's taking AWAY money from me. He wants to change my "line count" to key strokes, so he doesn't have to pay me for a few paragraphs when it only takes me a few Keystrokes to put the macro in. It's like he thinks I'm cheating him! Isn't that industry standard?? Also I don't have the ability to "raise my production" what I get is what I do, every day I finish all the work.
The problem I'm having is what I make with them won't cover my living expenses any longer. That's why I asked for the raise. I mean I know as an IC i don't "ask". They said no, and guess what I have to stick around until I find something else. I won't find something better I'm sure, so I have to change careers. I'm having a very hard time dealing with this. Maybe cause I'm young and I don't feel like I know what I want to do. I wanted to be able to stay at home and raise a family, and now that dream is shot.
I'm just very upset you know, just ranting a little :)
I admire your ability to forgive and hopefully this will all blow over - however, that being said,
please make sure that Animal Control did not list this as an "incident" so that it may not be used against your dog in the future, even if no charges were filed. A lot of states have a strict "no bite or 3 bite" policy and would not want this to count against your dog later in life. My brother-in-law's dog bit a child when it got tangled up in her bicycle wheels (granted she should not have been that close to the child in the first place), so we've learned to be very careful about our animals.
What if you post messages under a different SN (AOL gives you ability to create several).
I remember posting a response. Received an e-mail began which began with "Hi" and my name. This was rather unsettling as you can imagine.
My 10 yo dog has lost ability to use hind legs
She was put under anesthesia to have a large mass removed from her chest. What I thought might be a malignant lump turned out to be lipoma. She had hip dysplasia all her life and was arthritic but never thought she would lose use of hind legs. Surgery was today. Picked her up at 5:00 and now, 4 hours later, I am truly concerned. She is a weinaraner. I am to give her 10 mg of prednisone daily.
Geesh, I wondered why the vet didn't bring the dog with her when she talked to me. And when we discussed surgery, I mentioend that anesthesia was hard on senior dogs (it was hard on me and I am healthy adult).
Just wondering here if she will recover. Maybe smeone here knows something about this. Thank you
What someone else is silly enough to pay you, has no bearing on your ability or character.

I think tier level should be based on the ability
to transcribe jobs assigned to the particular tier. My first job as an MT (I worked in house) required that I do all work types including OP reports. We, of course, did not have tier levels assigned; we were paid hourly. But, we were required to do all work types.
I think any transcription service can well assess an MTs ability
requires so many test files to be transcribed is taking advantage of applicants.
We have the ability to see each others # of reports and # of lines. We are to report to super
visor when one person has done 150 exams a day but only has a minimum of lines typed. In radiology, it tends to average out. They are watching it for morale's sake as well as they figure if the MT who jumps jobs is probably cheating elsewhere in the job or her/his life. Too many ethical ones these days to settle for a cherrypickers.
It depends on your skill level, your speed, your ability to do the

Ask them to give you the ability to choose your work from the queue SM
They may refuse; but assuming you do have to sign off (I don't remember any more), you can explain that it takes too long. All they can do is refuse. Another--big--benefit is that you can choose several jobs in a row for a dictator or specialty you're having trouble with and learn in a day what can take months to learn coming through in dribbles.
Mine isn't working either. Wonder if they've taken that ability away or archived stuff so we
s
When I worked on site, we would judge docs by ability to dictate ...
As it turned out, our assessments were usually correct as to who the best/worst doctors were by the way they dictated. It was not necessarily just that they pronounced words correctly. It had more to do with general sloppiness and lack of attention to detail.
God gave us the ability to judge for good reason. Then told us judge not, lest thou be judged. NM
