Romantic Times Convention Part 2

Military Mixer – Romantic Times Convention

Not only did we have the Mortician’s conference and the Vampire Ball in the same building, we also had Ellora’s Cave publications outside of the United Methodist Bishops conference. The universe had a sense of humor that week. The book fair had no less than 1,000 people standing in line waiting for the doors to open. Some participants brought their favorite book for the author to sign, while others had suitcases on wheels waiting to pounce on the bargains of autographed books. Whether your passion is thriller (Barry Eisler and J. A. Konrath) or Inspirational romance (Patricia Simmons), your genre was present and possibly your favorite author.

After the book fair, Kathryn Falk and her husband, Kenneth Rubin attended the Military Mixer. Cindy Carver, USN 76-79, aviation machinist, opened the mixer with the Star Spangle Banner sung by the Agape International Choir. Each branch of the service was then recognized as their anthem rang through the air and active duty, retirees, and veterans were presented with a token of thanks for their duty. A standing ovation was given for these American Hero’s. Joan Causey discussed her role with the Air Force Defense and presented a two star coin to Jesse Wiseman. Unfortunately, I am unable to recall Wiseman’s rank in the Army, and for this I apologize.

Kathryn Falk spoke about SOS America, Inc. explaining how the company provided a place of healing for military families and was almost self sufficient. Kathryn and Kenneth presented Jesse Wiseman with a certificate for his achievements and volunteer work at RT for the past years.

Thank you sponsors (Julie Miller, Sherri James, Robin L. Rotham, Rebecca York, and the authors of Operation Love – Anne Elizabeth and C. H. Arihamd) and volunteers. Kelley: You were my Rock!

Open Source Programs, are you savvy?

admin — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 02:31:57 +0000

When I began doing my websites, I had to do them on a shoestring budget. Open Source programs became my best friend. They were and still free. My favorite open source programs to date are Open Office, which has everything and more than Microsoft Word; Cute PDF Writer acts like a printer and saves your document in a PDF which can be read by Adobe and it isn’t updated constantly. Why fix something that’s not broke? Gimp, has everything and a manual on how to use it and more frugal than Paintshop; Mozilla has Filezilla as an ftp client, Thunderbird for a mail client, Sunbird for your calendar, or Seamonkey which ties the two together.

Using an Open Source program is cost effective, and there is support via forums or donations for live tech support. Move your internet suaveness to the next level, and support the use of Open Source programs. Frugal is the name of the game in this while getting the job done!
