When I was on-site I listened to the radio

not loud though, but there were so many other distractions. Now that I am at home, I enjoy the peace and quiet. We do not live on a busy street, so it is a nice change of pace for me.

I listened. Thanks. But. . . sm
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?
listened to one going....
to the bathroom...took me a second to realize what I was hearing until he flushed the toilet!
You never listened to the dictation to know.
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.
I have only used C-phone too but I have listened to
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!
That was a shock until I listened
to a video by MSN. Rumor has it that the show was fixed and Chris was going to win it - according to the judges, especially Simon. In order to prove the rumor was wrong - bye-bye Chris. Check on the video, it makes you wonder. Catherine should have been voted off.
Just listened and you were GREAT! (sm)
I voted yesterday so I was glad to able to hear it today. Here's wishing you the best of luck!
yeah, I listened to my doc pee, before I

Have you ever listened to real
dictation? I worked at a place where the MDs could listen in on dictations if they wanted to hear a report that hadn't been transcribed or signed off and available yet. They could NEVER understand what the radiologists were saying, and these were their own patients, so you'd have thought they'd have a clue what to expect them to say.
Have you listened to his original music yet.
http://www.graycharles.com/index.php/mp3-downloads/
Scroll down towards the bottom of the page. Several songs here he wrote.
HA! A doc told me he listened to his report once...
and he said he couldn't make out what he was saying! He said, "I don't know how you do it."
And I thought to myself, "Neither do I."
Thank you. I listened through half of my tapes last night.
They didn't have anything in them I hadn't heard of before. I have done some Op reports in the past, but was looking up proper formatting and spelling of equipment terms. I've got Stedman's Surgical terms books, too, so I think I'm going to take the plunge. Now to find a company that's hiring!
Yeah, I've heard of her but never watched or listened to her.
I just wish I could get someone else on board, too.
Several companies still train on site. In fact, we are piloting an on-site training sm
program, where everyone would come in to the Keystrokes office to train for 1 or 2 weeks. We have a large training room and feel that this may be a way to cover all aspects of an account, be right there to answer questions as they come up and have one-on-one contact.
It will be optional at this point and may not be more effective as remote training, but some people have expressed that they miss the training that you get when you start at a hospital.
We are trying to bridge that gap between working in-house somewhere and working at home.
It may seem out-dated in many ways, but sometimes going back to basics is a good step to take!
I have noticed sometimes I will try to get into a web site and that site will freeze up and I dont
know if I have too many screens opened up and minimized or what. I tried to open a website sent by email and froze up the email screen. Not sure what I am doing.
radio
My treadmill is still buried, but it is also a resolution of mine. :)
Ask hubby if he will wear a headset. Unlikely, I know. I wouldn't want to. Does his radio have an antennae? or is it hooked into cable. Ours, once hooked into cable, got way less static. Best of luck!!
Sorry should have said he was on radio
here and every now and then has a television special. Great guy!
Why? No different than a radio or any other

Radio Shack
I have 3 pedals hooked up and needed another serial port. Radio Shack has the adapter you plug into your USB for about 20.00. Worked like a charm. The only tricky part is finding the right port listed in the program you are using.
Listen to him on radio
I sometimes listen to him while doing my late afternoon pick-up and deliveries on the radio. I have also found out that a lot of time giving praise and appreciation to them when they do the job -- even though it is not to our satisfaction or as well as we can --gives them incentive to do more. We don't like to be cut down all the time and have to re-do and so even though it may not be up to my standards I try to let the kids know that I appreciate it -- unless of course they have done a poor job on purpose -- another subject.
Radio Shack
They sell a very inexpensive adapter for serial and/or game port to USB. Mine works fine with Dictaphone EXText, eScription EditScript, etc. I think I paid $10 for it at a local store.
You can search radio shack online and see if your local store has them in stock or can get them. many many new computers are going to exclusively USB ports, no more serial or parallel
radio shack has it all.

Might try Radio Shack. n,

I got one at Radio Shack
I told them what I wanted. It was a little plug-in and to switch from one computer to the other, I just hit ScrLk 2 times. Super easy to hook up and super cheap too!
try radio shack..
Try radio shack...for the past 4 or 5 days have been having very poor quality voice out of the blue - couldn't figure if it was my computer or phone lines or the client - but for 19.95 from R Shack I have ordered a head set that covers over background noise and also has a low/hi volume control, which I think I will really like...will let you know how it is when I get it if you are still having problems...the radio shack guy said he had 3 orders before mine...so maybe the MT world was aware they were on sale...Good Luck!
Did you try Radio Shack????
They have those adapters and they're cheap. They have all KINDS of adapters. Also replacement foams of various types.
sirrius radio help
My husband has it in his car and I would like to listen at home, called customer service and the person had a limited knowledge of English so I had trouble understanding her. (Went to their website). Do I need an antenna and special radio or what? It sounds like the price is inclusive once I get the equipment for the home radio. Thanks
I subscribe to another web site and within the boards on this site they have
Would anybody be interested if adminstrators would allow us to have this type of board or even put it on the main board. Like on this other board they tell you to go to a certain web site for a coupon for 20% off Barnes and Noble or when Target has reduced prices on seasonal things. Anybody got ideas or bargains they would like to share to save money? We could call it the MT Stars penny-pinchers board.
I listen to Dr. Joy Brown sometimes on the radio
e-mail her or call her and see what she says. She gives pretty good advice and is FREE!!
If you can be positive about this relationship, you can be positive about yourself and meeting someone else. Remember, your gut feeling is what's right, and I think I know what your gut is telling you or you wouldn't be posting this in the first place, you just need someone to back you up. Don't waste any more time. & don't talk about THE REST OF YOUR LIFE -- you have choices you can make in this too as much as he has the choice to do/not do something -- it's just that you have the choice to stay in this stagnent pool of muck or get out, clean yourself off and never return to the dirty pool. Who knows what the future holds for you, but if you stay with him it will just be this same cycle over and over again, unfortunately. I say cut your losses now.

On Hannity on radio just now - weatherman said will be 4/maybe 5 and hit
That was what was on Hannity's radio show at 3:00 p.m. central time when he was interviewing a weatherman who has been in the business since 1978 and whose dad graduted in 1965 from Texas A&M in weather - so he has sure studied weather a long time (he says since he was 5 yo).
Something to think about.
i have found that radio shack has
several adapters to choose from to convert to a USB port. with each newer version of computers they seem to be cutting out the older types of ports (like used for older foot pedals/game ports, etc) and using "s" connections, usb, etc. the computer that I have from 1995 has different ports than the tower I bought last summer and my laptop that I bought last summer so I have to use an adapter and everything is fine.
radio shack; have bought several there nm

You might try a filter that you can get from Radio Shack.
It is probably just interference from something in your neighborhood, perhaps a ham operator or something like that?
We love our Bose radio too
We also just hooked up an external CD player to our Bose radio and you get the Bose sound quality that way. They are a great sound in a tiny pkg.!
Radio Shack in Portland, OR has them -- nm
Found them there
Radio Shack headphones
Yes, several people are recommending those Radio Shack Koss headphones (I am getting some emails too). It looks like those might be the ones to try!
Radio Shack carries them. nm

I use DVI too and got an adapter at Radio Shack
for about 17.00. You can check in-store stock on-line to see if a local store may have one.
Radio Shack has lots of different ones. nm

There are Sony ones at Radio Shack sm
that were suggested to me so I bought a pair. They are silver and look sort of like Spock ears when you have them on. I think they come with a year warranty or maybe I bought that for a few cents, can't remember now. I really like those.
Got mine at Radio Shack
I have bought them from Office Depot many times as well. My recent ones came from Radio Shack and are Presidian noise cancelling headphones. I love them.
Background (radio), but I would love to know
if you can have it on your computer, headset, while working. I do not know how to do that, but it would be great to have classical in the background of the dictators!
See my post above about Pandora Radio - sm
I listen to it through my headphones in the background of my dictation.
The volume can be adjusted separately from your dictation and you can pause it if you need to.
I can't even begin to tell you all the choices they have for music. Classical, rock, punk, techno, new age, everything you could possibly imagine... Even Christmas music.
Love my satellite radio
I got my husband one for Christmas two years ago. We actually got the plan for life so we paid, I think $400 or so, and we'll never have to pay for it again. I also have it in my car (it came with it for free for one year). It has so many great stations, something for everyone. I highly recommend it.
The only radio station that plays the music you like is an

Did anyone hear the discussion on radio last night about (sm)
If this evolves as planned, there will be no typing at all by 2010. 
I can't stand a TV or radio on while I transcribe, almost anywhere in the house.
nm
i'd be afraid I would type what I heard on the radio
When I worked in-house my manager and a coworker were having a conversation and I typed a couple sentences of it without realizing.
I have a Radio Shack one that was on sale for about $79 but it usuallySM
is around $100 -- a portable one that I bought a power supply for.
I hear everything. Fires, fights, rapes, hostage situations (YES!), wrecks, stabbings, shootings, mean dogs - you name it. I sleep to it.
How lame is that? LOL. I will readily admit I have NO LIFE.
Anyone know of any good internet radio stations or
sites that play random music videos? I am getting sick of my own radio stations and am looking for a couple of new ones to listen to while I work. Top 40 or 70's through today.
Try moving the radio to another area of the room--
so both electrical signals won't be crossing.
