Late Conference Recap

Oh, hello.
Yes, I know I normally post on Mondays, but it took me a day to get my act together, so...voila. :)

First off, my hats off to all my fellow chaptermates who did such a wonderful job putting the NJRW Conference all together and making it look so easy. I know it was a lot of hard, thankless work.

Secondly, I know you all are dying to know what happened at the conference, so I'll make this recap short and sweet for all you people with short attention spans like myself.

In a nutshell,
I had a FABULOUS time at the conference.

*And not just because...I had Debora Dennis as a roommate.
*And not just because...I actually sold books at the Literacy Book Fair.
*And not just because...authors were coming up to me and saying they know me from online networking. (this crazy Internet stuff actually works!)
*And not just because...we got to hear some awesome advice from Bob Mayer and Jennifer Talty
*And not just because...Marie Force befriended my CP and I and shared with us her success story and what worked for her.
*And not just because...my highlighters were grabbed so fast in the goody room that I didn't know they had even been put out. ( See blog post on highlighters HERE)
*And not just because...I was able to buy Jennifer Probst's new book and have her sign it (and totally crack up with her too!)
*And not just because...my CP and I hardly spent any money the entire time we were there.
*And definitely not just because...Angela James wanted one of my highlighters that I was giving out at the book signing and thought it was great promo item and wanted to use it in one of her workshops.

Yeah. There are so many other reasons than all those. :-)

And now for the gratuitous photos that make me seem more important than I am...

Just ordered Sunny Days for Sam for my Kindle. Woohoo! And such a good price, too. Have to admit I love reading books on my Kindle--can't beat the convenience of an e-reader.

Glad you had such a fun and productive time at the conference.

A satellite digital video recorder, or DVR, captures a satellite TV signal for storage on the internal hard drive and playback to a connected television. The signal passes through a coaxial cable connection to the DVR. Hooking up a security camera enables you to record an area under surveillance to the DVR, or simply monitor an area on a TV connected to the DVR without recording. Use a pair of coaxial cables with threaded RF couplers on the ends.
Items you will need

2 coaxial cables
TV or video monitor

Step 3

Attach the other end to the input on the rear panel of your DVR.
Step 4

Connect the second cable from the DVR's output to the RF input on the television set or monitor.
Step 5

Turn on the power for the three components and tune the DVR to channel three or four, depending on the camera model.
Step 6

Watch the monitor or TV to view the area under surveillance from the camera, or record video by pressing the DVR's record button.
