to be Technology
We received a few more Large and XLarge helmets in both colors. We just go them in Friday and thanks to a couple huge dealer orders, we are quite low again. This is the last shipment of helmets we will be getting this season.

iPod controllers will hopefully ship out this week. I had one hand delivered from the owner of TOBE last month and it works and looks great. Very quality piece of equipment.

Some BIG news is that we just opened a TOBE Factory Outlet online today in our webshop:  https://212.97.134.108/america/index.php (click the FACTORY OUTLET button at the top). The Outlet has holdover gear from last year and is at a HUGE discount. Since it is just leftovers the sizes are hit and miss, but if you are lucky enough to find something your size you will save big!
T's, hoodies, jackets and pants for men and women and some small stuff for older kids.

USPS says December 20th is the last day to ship in order to get stuff for Christmas.  UPS says Dec. 18th for ground. This info is good for anybody shipping product in the USA. So only 7-9 more days to finish your shopping!

Merry Christmas!

....FOR FREEDOM!!!

 

 “In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act. –George Orwell

 

The year is 1913, Woodrow Wilson is president, and powerful banking interests, who have been trying for year, finally achieved their long term goal, of silently taking control of the American government.

     The first thing the did to accomplish their take over was convince secretary of state, Flan Denox, to lie to the American people, and tell them that the 16th amendment [Income Tax Amendment] had been legally ratified by the states when it was not. The bankers knew that this tax would ultimately end up in their pockets.

     Because of this fraud the American people were led to believe there was a tax on their labor. Congress and the President ARE completely aware of this fraud and it was cited in a recent court case:

 

“If you… examined [the 16th amendment] carefully, you would find that a sufficient number of states ratified that amendment.” -U.S. District Court Judge, James C. Fox, 2003

 

That very same year [1913] the bankers committed their second, and by far most diabolical fraud ever perpetrated on the American people, by bribing senators to pass the Federal Reserve Act, without the required Constitutional amendment. They did this during Christmas vacation, when many senators where home celebrating Christmas with their families.

     And that is how the unconstitutional Federal Reserve Act came into being. They were very clever, and understood that who ever issued the money for America controlled the government.

 

“Give me control of a nations money supply, and I care not who makes its laws.” -Mayer Rothschild, Private Banker

 

President Wilson, who signed the Federal Reserve Act later said in regret:

“I’m a most unhappy man; I have unwittingly ruined my country a great industrial nation is now controlled by a system of credit. We are no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinions and duress of a small group of dominant men.” -Woodrow Wilson, 1919

 

How did America transform from being a truly free country with a servant government where our individual rights are protected by our Constitution, to being a country that talked about being free but really wasn’t?

     The change started when the Federal Reserve came into existence, and America adopted one of the major planks of the Communist Manifesto by creating for America this central bank.

     The very same people that back the Federal Reserve System also back the graduated income tax, a second plank from the Communist Manifesto.

     And now our Congress so dominated by the banks, is helping them entrap people even further by passing new Bankruptcy Laws making it more difficult for the people to declare bankruptcy and get a fresh start.

“The Constitution is just a goddamn piece of paper.” -George W. Bush, Nov. 2005, Capitol Hill Blue

 

During the 1990’s President Clinton monitored millions of private phone calls placed by U.S. citizens. He did this under a secret program code named: Echelon. The wide spread use of wire tapping Americans during the Clinton administration proves that this practice was not started because of 9/11 but is standard procedure.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The new legislation for the national ID card is in and takes three to for pages to describe. It will be connected to our driver’s licenses and Social security numbers. A physical ID such as finger prints or retinal print will be on it.

This law known as the Real ID Act takes effect in May 2008. Anyone with out a card will not be permitted to board an air plain, Amtrak train, open a bank account, or enter a federal building.

The bill mandates that all drivers’ licenses contain “common readable technology. A radio frequency identification (RFID) chip will be used.

 

 

“It is time to wake up America. Those ID cards are NOT about defeating terrorism, they are all about controlling the American people.” -Aaron Russo

 

The latest technology for identifying people when they make purchases is the implantable chip that can be directly imbedded into human flesh. Its tiny glass capsule is about the size if a grain if rice. It contains an RFID computer chip with a coiled antenna.

Homeland Security, the Department of Defense, and others have expressed great interest in being able to more closely monitor the American people. And one way to do that would be to determine who buys what and where they take these things.

     Radio frequency can travel through walls, wood, the things we normally rely on to protect our privacy. For example your backpack, your pocket, anything you’re wearing or carrying.

     They were talking about having reader devices in every airport, on every bus, every train, on every port and every dock.

     One of the most worrisome applications of RFID is proposals to put in cash. Meaning that you’d be able to track every bank note, where it has been, who it has been issued to, and create an essence an audit trail that would essentially take away the anonymity of cash, that we enjoy today.

     The ATM machine itself, as the money came through the roller device, would be reading each number. And it would know who you are; of course you identify yourself at banks or ATMs. And the ATM would tag the number, and transfer the possession name from, say Bank of America to Joe Jones.

     Once every thing you do is tied down to a single number, and there is no longer the option to pay with cash, then all it takes to render you a non citizen is to simply turn you chip off. Then you won’t be able to participate in ant function in society, including buy food.  

     Through the implementation of the Federal Reserve System, the American citizen has gone from being a private individual who had real money, and gold in possession that was private, to a citizen who has no privacy because all money is now being digitized. They can deduct however amount of money they want out of your digits when ever they want, and they can trace you when ever they want. You’ll be at there mercy. God forbid we allow this to happen in America

    

“This is outrageous! I mean your talking about the government looking over your shoulder at absolutely everything you do, every purchase you make, every place you go, every company you interact with, would be recorded back to potentially the government.” -Katherine Albrecht, author of “Spy Chips”

 

Have we become so controlled and ignorant about our rights, that big institution and big governments can do whatever they want with us even with out our approval?

I know for certain that our founding fathers would resist to the death what is happening in America today. And I for one will not accept a national ID card. And if nobody accepts a national ID card, and nobody can board a plain without one, then let the airlines go bankrupt. And if you can’t open an account in a big national bank, then open one in a small local bank. And if we can’t walk into a federal building, I’d personally consider that a blessing.

Don’t allow these institutions to dictate to us how we conduct our lives. This is America, and we have free choice! We the people have the power not the government. The government gets its power from us, not the other way around.

Think of all the men and women that died in all our wars fighting for freedom, not Federal Reserve bankers. Do you think they sacrificed their lives so America could get chipped like a dog, so we can all have homing devices inside us? NO! This ID card is the last step before they implant us, and that is precisely the reason no one should accept one.

And you know what they’re going to do? They’re going to call in the propaganda machine, the media, and try to sell this RFID chip as if it was in everybody’s best interest.

 

“We shall have a world government whether or not we like it. The only question is whether the world government will be achieved by conquest or consent.” -Paul Warburg, architect of the Federal Reserve System, 1950

 

The central bankers of the world are working together to create a one world government. A global police sinister was the only thing George Orwell ever wrote about. Where every person on the planet Earth will have an RFID chip implant, where the bankers and the governments have access to every transaction you make.

A chip in every in everybody would be the universal monitory system, because there would be no escape from it.

Most people don’t have a clue that these unelected private bankers, actually control the governments of the world. They have actually financed and profited from ever war since World War I, without concern for humanity. The war in Iraq is an attempt by the Federal Reserve and their partner the Bank of England to control the middle east, and make it part of the new world order.

 

“Military men are just dumb stupid animals, to be used as pawn in foreign policies.” -Henry Kissinger

 

     The war on terrorism is the war on your freedom.

 

“The bankers own take it away from them but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough money to buy it back again. However, take away the power to create money, and all great fortunes like mine will disappear and ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in.

But if you wish to remain slaves of the bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money.” - Sir Josiah Stamp, former director of the Bank of England

 

“We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine, and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years.

     It would have been impossible for us to develop our plans for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But now the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march toward a world government. The supra national sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto determination, practiced in past centuries.” 

-David Rockefeller, private banker, council on foreign relations, June 1991

 

“The real rulers in Washington are invisible and exercise power from behind the scenes.” -Felix Frankfuter, U.S. Supreme Court Justice

 

“It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.” -Henry Ford

 

     Now that you do understand what happened in 1913, and how it is leading to world government, the future depends on you. Will you choose freedom or slavery? Stop living in fear of your government. Government is the servant. We are the masters.

So what are you going to do about it? Join together in civil disobedience. Be willing to take part in nationwide strikes, boycotts, and marches on Washington. Force Congress to use their power to shut down the Federal Reserve. Government has authority to issue money, without paying interest to the bankers. This will take away the power to control our government from the bankers. Only vote for candidates who have signed an affidavit to shut down the Federal Reserve System and stop world government.

If you are in the military or law enforcement, remember you swore an oath to defend the American Constitution. You didn’t swear an oath to promote world government. Honor your Oath.

DONOT accept the national ID card, even if it’s your drivers’ license. We must demand that the American peoples gold be audited, and make certain that it has not been stolen. This asset must be returned to the American people.

Abolish computer voting in the state where you live. Stop being a good Democrat, stop being a good Republican, start being good Americans.

And when the media starts telling you that the country will fall apart if this is done, don’t be fooled. This is just the Federal Reserve trying to save itself. Squash it!

 

“I like the old idea, where you could do what you thought you could do and what you wanted to do as long as you didn’t hurt anyone.”

 -Ron Paul

 

If you believe in civil disobedience and wish to organize with millions of Americans in this battle for liberty, please sign up at freedomtofascism.com, and if you choose not to help, report to Central Services immediately and we will have you fitted for an RFID chip… for you own safety, of course.

 

”We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”
-Benjamin Franklin, at the signing of the Declaration of
Independence, July 4, 1776

 Uninted we stand, Divided we fall.

Gun That Killed Goldsboro Boy Was Stolen Posted:
 
Jul. 24, 2007
 
 Goldsboro — Police on Tuesday said the handgun involved in the accidental shooting death of an 8-year-old boy last week was reported stolen a year ago. Andre Wilder and his 12-year-old brother found the .45-caliber gun in the woods near their home, police said. Andre was playing with it at the family's home on July 17, and the gun went off as his brother tried to take it away from him for his own protection, police said. Andre died later at Wayne Memorial Hospital from a single gunshot to his face. The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives traced the gun to its former owner, who had reported last year that it was stolen from a vehicle parked outside a Wal-Mart in Goldsboro. Police said they haven't matched the gun to any crimes. Shenita Wilder-Dancy, the boys' mother, said people have been using the area around her rural home as a dumping ground. She said she believes Andre found the gun and thought it was a toy. No charges are expected to be filed in the case, police said.
 
This was my friends lil bro.... please pay some respect.

                        A SledClub Interview With Ross Mercer  


                                                     

                          
Age: 25
Residing: Whitehorse, Yukon
Sponsors:  -RedBull 
                  -SKi-Doo 
                  -Oakley
                  -Yukon Honda
                  -Taits Trailer sales
                  -HMK Snowmobiling

                  -Frontier Films
                  -Compound Films
                  -SCS Racing
                  -BullDog Sled Decks
                  -Planet Powersports



When you planned on going for the record, did you ever second guess or ask yourself is this actually possible or can my sled even go fast enough?

Not really. I knew I could do it, I actually thought my sled would be plenty
fast enough, but because of the elevation and temperatures it was actually
very close. I was hitting the ramp at full speed at the end with a huge
in run.


Did you do any special training or mods to your sled before going for the
record distance jump?


No. On the first day i was hitting the ramp full speed and not going far
enough, about 246. For the second day I geared my sled up, put on a
lightweight can and took the foam out of my airbox to try to make it faster.
We also extended the run in and for the last jump that i broke the record on
we had the entire inrun salted so it was frozen and hard, which made a big
difference.


What type of sled were you riding while going for the record jump?

I rode my 2007 Skidoo Rev Race chassis with a stock 800 engine. It is a
great sled and it worked perfectly for this jump.


Was there any support or sponsorship from them for the jump?

Yeah, Ski-Doo really helped me out this year. They hooked me up with a
couple of new 2007 sleds which have been great all season.


In general, do you think there should be more support from snowmobile
manufactures for the riders that are pushing the limits of the sport?


Well, the more support the riders get the more they can work at pushing the
limits of the sport. The last couple years have been really great for the
sport. There have been a number of events that have really pushed it into
the mainstream. RedBull has done events all over the world, the event in Red
Square Moscow, the Fuel and Fury event in Alaska last year etc, as well as
the fact that freestyle sledding was a gold medal event at the winter X
games this year have all brought it to the worlds attention. The
manufacturers are definately noticing us now and stepping up to the plate. I
am really excited to be working with SKi-Doo and hope that freestyle can
become a big part of their advertising, the way racing is.


How many paramedics were on stand by while you were going for the record?

I dont know. There was an ambulance standing by and a few people who were
there to deal with any kind of situation that might arise. It was reasuring
to have them there for sure.


What was your pre jump meal?

Well, I had a good crash in Slovenia about 5 days prior to my record
attempt, so I was really sore going into this. On the first day I ate 2 bags
of chips and 12 ibuprofins all day and had a couple RedBulls. The second day
I dont remember what I ate, a sandwich or a muffin or something i think.
lots of ibuprofins and RedBulls as well of course!


Now that you are in the Guinness Book of World Records have you started
getting love letters on Sledclub.com from all the hotties?

Not really but maybe things will  pick up here soon. Maybe this interview
will help.


I hear you were using a radar gun, how fast were you clocked at before
hitting the jump?


79 mph or so. Probably about 80 off the ramp, I held it pinned all the way
up the ramp.


What video/s can we look out for in seeing your record jump in?

It will be in SledNecks 10, Two Stroke Cold Smoke 10, I think its going to
be in the next Nitro Circus as well.


Being from the Yukon/Canada, what's the stupidest question a fan has asked
you about where your from?


Well, i dont know. Yesterday I went through the drive through at
McDonalds and got asked if it was for here or to go. There are lots of
stupid questions. It seems that a lot of people think the Yukon is in
Alaska. I am actually really surprised when I am travelling how many people
actually do know where the Yukon is.


Anyone you want to thank for helping making this event happen?

Yeah I would like to thank all my sponsors of course for their great support
this season. Everyone who was a part of this did a great job and worked very
hard to make it happen. Chris and Clayton at the compound for all their
work. I guess my biggest thanks has to go to RedBull for investing so much
in me and making all this happen. All the encouragement and props from
people back home and from around Canada go a long way too, it's cool to hear
from people who are stoked on what i am doing. I like to think I am making
Canadians proud.

That you are indeed!
Keep up the good work! We look forward in seeing you keep pushing the sport and  bringing it to new levels!

My Blog: why?
By: sufer_billy


Why, Why, Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting dead?

Why do banks charge a fee on "insufficient funds" when they know there is not enough money?

Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?

Why doesn't glue stick to the bottle?

Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection?

Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?

Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?

Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

Whose idea was it to put an "S" in the word "lisp"?

If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?

Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?

Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?

Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?

Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?

Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?

How do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixtures?

When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, "It's all right?" Well, it isn't all right, so why don't we say, "That hurt, you stupid idiot?"

Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?
In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat?
How come you never hear father-in-law jokes?
And my FAVORITE......

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends -- if they're okay, then it's you.

‘BIGGER AND BETTER’ COORS LIGHT TRAUMA TOUR RETURNS TO SYLVAN LAKE FEATURING WORLD-CLASS WAKEBOARDING AND TOP MUSICAL ACTS

 
The Coors Light Trauma Tour featuring the Pro Wake Invitational returns to Sylvan Lake, Alberta this summer, and with a new two-day format, it promises to be bigger and better! Ten of the world’s top professional wakeboarders will compete for $40,000 U.S. in prize money. And there will be non-stop concert performances from the hottest bands around – it’s all part of the Solo Mobile Concert Series.
 
The Solo Mobile Concert Series will be kicking off on Friday, September 1 with a performance by Bedouin Soundclash.
 
The trio from Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario set the Canadian music scene on fire last year with their hit single “When the Night Feels My Song” which rose all the way to Number One on MuchMusic and was the second most played song on Canadian radio in 2005. De La Soul will headline the concert series the next night.
 
Also new for 2006, is a national and international television broadcast of the Coors Light Trauma Tour in Sylvan Lake. The event will be featured on the Xtreme Channel and Fusion TV as well as OLN in the United States.
 
Canadian pro wakeboarders Chad Sharpe and Rusty Malinoski will take on the best riders in the world including Andrew Adkison of the U.S., the Pro Wakeboard Tour’s number one ranked rider. The 10 pros will battle it out on the water in three wakeboarding disciplines – “Double Up”, “Rail Rumble” and “Full Pull” – with each discipline worth $10,000. An additional prize of $10,000 will also be awarded to the best rider overall.
 
As if the action on the water and the stage isn’t enough, fans can also look forward to the high-flying stunts of the Metal Mulisha Freestyle Motocross show and the battle of the beauties for the title of Miss Trauma Tour.
 
Tickets for the Coors Light Trauma Tour featuring the Pro Wake Invitational will go on sale July 15th and will be available by calling 1-866-891-WAKE or by visiting www.prowakeinvitational.com. Last year tickets sold out fast, so don’t wait too long to get yours!

i just got the copyright on this song today and i want people to tell me what they think
 
I sit here tonight in ourdooublewide
and try to soak up all the tears that i've cried
i thought you were my gir and that we were in love
i had all i wanted you were my whole world
 
but we're only in love when I'm coming down
and i listen to hank sing that high lonesome sound
and i thilnk about leaving my life in this town
cause i thought i was in heaven but i was living in hell
 
i thought i was in heaven but i was living in hell
i had a house on the hill but now now it is 4 sale
and i sit in the bar room with the same story to tell
cause i thought it was heaven but i was livin in hell
 
tonight i drive by what is left of our broken home
and think about all the time you speant alone
i try to call you up on my telephone
but i realize it's over it's all set in stone
 
now that we're not in love i'm not coming down
and i live in a brolke ass apartment on the west side of town
and i go to church evry sunday and listen to that high lonesome sound
cause i thought it was heaven but i was livin in hell
 
chorus

cause i thought it was heaven but i was livin in hell

TEN HUSBANDS

A lawyer married a woman who had previously divorced ten husbands.On their wedding night, she told her new husband, "Please be gentle; I'm still a virgin.

What?" said the puzzled groom. "How can that be if you've been married ten times?

"Well, husband #1 was a Sales Representative; he kept telling me how great it was going to be.

Husband #2 was in Software Services; he was never really sure how it was supposed to function, but he said he'd look into it and get back to me.

Husband #3 was from Field Services; he said everything checked out diagnostically but he just couldn't get the system up.

Husband #4 was in Telemarketing; even though he knew he had the order, didn't know when he would be able to deliver.

Husband #5 was an Engineer; he understood the basic process but wanted three years to research, implement, and design a new state-of-the-art method.

Husband #6 was from Finance and Administration; he thought he knew how, but he wasn't sure whether it was his job or not.

Husband #7 was in Marketing; although he had a product, he was never sure how to position it.

Husband #8 was a psychiatrist; all he ever did was talk about it.

Husband #9 was a gynecologist; all he did was look at it.

Husband #10 was a stamp collector; all he ever did was ... God, I miss him!

"But now that I've married you, I'm really excited!" "Good," said the husband, "but, why?" "Duh; you're a LAWYER. This time I KNOW I'm gonna get screwed!"

My Blog: WHY
By: truthbetold


Why, Why, Why 
 
Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting weak? 
 
Why do banks charge a fee on "insufficient funds" when they know there is not enough? 
 
Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet? 
 
Why doesn't glue stick to the bottle? 
 
Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection? 
 
Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard? 
 
Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?                                                                    

 

Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets? 
 
Whose idea was it to put an "S" in the word "lisp"? 
 
If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes? 
 
Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white? 
 
Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale? 
 
Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that 
something new to eat will have materialized? 
 
Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance? 
 
Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try? 
 
How do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixtures? 
 
When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, "It's all right?" Well, it isn't all right, so why don't we say, "That hurt, you f*cking dumb shi*t?" 
 
Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off 
the table you always manage to knock something else over? 
 
In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer
when we complained about the heat? 
 
How come you never hear father-in-law jokes? 
 
And my FAVOURITE...... 
 
The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is 
suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends if they're okay, then it's you.

Jobs - on and off snow
 Anyone reading  who didn't already know, I've been doing medical transcription for a private physician practive for nearly five years now. I'm an AASI snowboard "level 1½"(gotta finish the exam - but with what turned out to be a Colles fracture (large bone of the forearm) and possible ligamentous injury, it was best I didn't take the last half of that exam this year without a cast on this year. I'm also a certified PSIA level 1 ski instructor now. I'm also finishing class for my re-certifying my OEC(ski patrol - basically like the same training as a wilderness EMT). I've come a long way from the days of being a dog groomer! It's a fun personal accomplishment getting my certs and passing test for my snowboarding and skiing hobby, but unfortunately that just doesn't pay enough or year round to make a solo career out of. Not that any other snowboarder in the industy wouldn't say the same. The medical transcription job is one I enjoy. The hours are flexible(I make my own) so that I can get 100+ days in on the snow per season, and my bosses are way chill - especially the one that occasionally takes me wakeboarding when I beg and he's not on call. I like them as professional acquaintances and people even outside of the office.

What's a Medical Transcriptionst? - and how I got there
For those who don't know, when you go to the doctor, they make a record of what the patient was seen for, make notes of exam findings, what the diagnosis is, how they're going to be treated, etc. Basically, what the docs I work for do is record on a tape who they saw, etc, and I type them right into electronic records. Some notes are under 100 words, most are 1-2 pages long and some several pages. I never went to school to do this - I am the exception to most rules in life. For me, I used to be an EMT(every menial task... erh.. Emergency Medical Technician) in the last 90's after high school and volunteered at the local ambulance service. Life goes on, I got married, divorced and a variety of other things since then.One job included working as a phlebotomist, aka "needle vampire" drawing blood from donors for the Red Cross. A devistating car accident I was a passenger and rear ended in, resulting in a lengthy hospital stay unfortunately left me without that job and homeless at one point. Life takes amazing turns when you least expect them, for better and worse.
 Even since the days of high school, I was always very fast at typing.. even with this dang cast on right now as I type, I'm probably going over 80 words a minute, and have scored well over 120 wpm without errors on typing tests in the past. I had originally applied for my job as a receptionist back in 2001, and part of the app process included a typing test. I didn't get the job doing reception (I was desparate for a job at the time, otherwise, receptionist stuff is not my mojo) but they remembered my remarkably fast typing speed. About three months later when at the end of my rope, depressed and near suicidal from having no work, I got a call -- they knew I hadn't done transcription, but had the amazing typing skills and medical background and experience. They tried me out and loved me. There was learning process such as terms in family practice, etc., that I had never used in the field, but they needed a good worker, I needed a job, and I was working part time with another girl who basically trained me(she has since left, long story). Since then, I'm happy, and have no regrets. Working full time, I have a full load, but as long as I get my duties done, it's snow in the winter time. I'm not sure how those learn how and do it from home courses advertised work out for people, so there's my story.

Goodbye evil chair, tax write offs, etc
One thing I like about being a ski/snowboard instructor is I can buy skis, a board, etc. and use them as a tax write off. I haven't done it before, but I actually do use the equipment for teaching and it does get run over and worn quickly enough. It's nice to know this year that if I chose to upgrade my skis and get an 06/07 Atomic Tika when they come out, that I could use and write them off. Wish I could write off wakeboards, dirt bikes and toys I want to get, but unfortunately hobbies not related to work don't count.
Okay, I'm rambling about snow toys - the evil chair.  Ever since I've been at my transcription job, I've sat in the worlds most uncomfortable unergonomic chair. It's rock hard since the padding in long wore out - my kitchen chairs have more padding and are more comfortable. I decided my back and neck were tired of being sore and that it was time to get another chair. Rather than ask my employer for one and just getting whatever they find on cheapest special somewhere, I decided to splurge today. I went to the local officeMax store and instead of looking at price tags, simply sat in chairs on display to test them out until I found the right one for me. The right one for me is pretty nifty. Cost me $125 bones - but it must have been on sale or something. Total leather executive manager type chair, with built in massager stuff (wasn't even looking for the massage option, just worked out that the chair which fit me well had it). I figure I'll save the receipt and if my employer wants to reimburse me, fine, otherwise, I'm happy just letting no one ever borrow it and use it as a tax write off next year. At least I'll be comfortable. Couldn't quite fit a lay-z-boy recliner in here, so this is the next best deal. ahhhhhh I'm so comfy now as type while testing out my new chair.
