Obama Administration Intends to Purge Republicans From Civil Service !!!!!!!!!
Poster Handle
Post Content
From My Friend Egor:
Remember how the Democrats reacted when the Bush Administration started replacing U.S. Attorneys? At least they were actually political appointees employed at the will and whim of the President.
Posted by Erick Erickson (Profile)
Thursday, November 12th at 11:42AM EST
It is a typical Washington process that many political appointees are able to take jobs within the civil service once their political appointment expires — usually at the conclusion of one administration. What often happens as well is Congressional staffers, before an election or shortly thereafter, will move over to the Executive Branch placed into the civil service, in effect, by appointment.
So, for example, when George Bush became President in 2001, a number of Clinton political appointees became civil service employees. As a result, they became subject to civil service hiring and firing rules, which meant they could no longer be replaced simply for having been a Democratic appointee.
Barack Obama is changing that. He intends to purge all Republicans from the federal bureaucracy retroactive to five years ago.
Under his new rules, made retroactive for five years, the Office of Personnel Management will examine civil service employees who got their start as political appointees in the Bush administration and terminate those employees. The order is retroactive to 2004, that moment when a number of Republican congressional staffers and others sought to embed into the second Bush administration right after the election.
According to John Berry, the Director of OPM:
Beginning January 1, 2010, agencies must seek prior approval from OPM before they can appoint a current or recent political appointee to a competitive or non-political excepted service position at any level under the provisions of title 5, United States Code. OPM will review these proposed appointments to ensure they comply with merit system principles and applicable civil service laws. I have delegated decision making authority over these matters to career Senior Executives at OPM to avoid any hint of political influence.
The memorandum goes on to apply this change to civil servants who were political appointees in the last five years, in effect freezing these employees out of other positions, denying them promotions, and forcing them out of their jobs.
No one is allowed to stand in the way of Barack Obama's agenda, including his own bureaucracy. This is what happens in third world kleptocracies and totalitarian regimes.
This is scary stuff.
Just for perspective: remember the Democrats threatened to throw Bush administration people in jail for firing United States Attorneys who happened to be Democrats. In that case, it was clear as crystal that U.S. Attorneys serve at the pleasure of the President and he can fire them whenever he wants. In this case, these people are now civil service employees who do not serve at the pleasure of the President and cannot be fired just because they are Republicans. in fact, the law is very clear on that point.

Lewis and Clark Historic Landscape Project
This website displays geographical information and maps that are products of the LEWIS AND CLARK HISTORIC LANDSCAPE PROJECT that has been conducted at the Geographic Resources Center (GRC), Department of Geography, University of Missouri in partnership with the Missouri State Archives, Office of the Missouri Secretary of State. With the primary goals to geo-reference, digitize, and map all of the retrievable information from the Lewis and Clark journals and the 18th and 19th-century land survey notes along the Big River Corridors of the state of Missouri, this effort should serve as a significant educational contribution to the national commemoration of the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial (2003-2006).

Looking to repair & seal my asphalt driveway
Looking to repair & seal my asphalt driveway, I have two areas that because of oil dropping have soften the asphalt, is there a product that I can use to spread over the area that will allow me to then do a seal job on it ???? I also have some cracks here and there, those I can take care of.
Don't have the funds right now to re do the whole drive.
You can buy asphalt for patching at Home Depot or Lowes so you don't have to buy a large quantity. I used it to patch several holes in my driveway. I agree with Randy427 as to how to do it. I added one other thing; I used a blow torch to melt the patch in so it was smooth with the existing asphalt. Otherwise it will look like a patch. You probably could just let it melt a little in the summer sun and blend it in. It really wasn't hard to do.

This is the first time I've used Airbnb, and what a good experience. My host, Sara, was out of town, so arranged for me to pick up the keys. Her flat is charming, with amazing views, and it felt like a home from home. Being used to staying in hotels it so much better getting back to a home after a day at the office. By the way, the apartment is bigger than the photos on the site lead you to believe . As for location; 3 blocks to the panhandle for a run, 15mins on the 21 bus downtime or 12 bucks in a cab - really centrally located.
Sara is the ideal guest!
She stayed in my apartment for a weekend and left the apartment the same as when she moved in. Strongly recommended!
Everything was in perfect conditions after Sara's stay. Easy to communicate! Highly recommendable!
No problems with Sara, a considerate guest.
Sara is a pleasant and uncomplicated guest. It was nice and easy to share thoughts with her about her holiday in Italy and to suggest her places and sights. She is very talkative and it was helpful for me to get to know her preferences in order to improve my hospitality skills. So thumbs up for her!
Very friendly guest. Easy communication. Respect the house's rules. Discreet. Have left the house very tidy... I recommend her 100%!!!
Sara and her friend were the perfect guests!!! Super nice and friendly. They left the apartment in great condition. I would definitely host them again anytime! 100% recommendable :):):)

|Reviews for One penny
| Guest chapter 1 . 3/1
I am giving every one of your stories a TROLL because you do that to other writers who don't agree to your point of view. YOU SUCK!
| PopTart Fan chapter 1 . 7/26/2014
Great story. Made me like Sheldon a little more. I've been very mad at him.
Leonard is a love.
Thanks, Kare.
| Book girl fan chapter 1 . 1/15/2014
It isn't finding beautiful, talented women that's the problem, it's dating them.
| CastleSWACLover chapter 1 . 1/6/2014
What a beautiful story. I am in love with Leonard's story about the gypsy and it's very well written. Great job! :)
| Phosphorescent chapter 1 . 12/25/2013
Funny, cute, all your titles for multiple stories are very good too.
| CountryGrl chapter 1 . 9/8/2013
Aw, the poor thing! You like to have your fun with Leonard, don't you ;-)
This was kinda heartbreaking, with the whole "one penny/one Penny" thing... I am crushed.
I loved Reluctantly Caring Sheldon... This is really cute in that quintessentially Sheldonian way. Thank you for sharing!
| justLykdat chapter 1 . 8/12/2013
Brilliant one shot... captured Leonard and sheldon beautifully...
| Nogravitasatall chapter 1 . 7/17/2013
Well, this was affecting. You do a good job on the emotional moments. Poor Leonard. Nice of Sheldon not to an ass.
| patricia51 chapter 1 . 5/5/2013
Lovely. Sheldon being helpful and thoughtful of Leonard and STILL staying right in character especially at the end. No wonder we have so much fun with him.
| WhouffleAddict chapter 1 . 4/26/2013
I've seen the title of this story while skimming through the many others, and I'm so glad that I did a double take and decided to read it. It is very touching, and it's very thought through. I thought it was pretty cool when it turned out there was only on penny in his pocket, and how his fortune was coming true. I am, again, glad that I decided to read it.
| Joseph Aniwaya chapter 1 . 4/14/2013
Ouch on several levels. I lived on the same floor as the marching band as an undergratuate, plus I toured the Eastern Seaboard in a folk rock band, so I have had my share of experiences-both as the one throwing up bad liquor and as the one trying to make sure my friend-and sometimes my girlfriend-didn't choke on their own vomit. On the other level, I think you and I are on the same page when it comes to Leonard's undying feelings for Penny. One of my idols, Mason Williams, who wrote "Classical Gas" and was head writer for the the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, wrote a song called, "You Stomped on My Heart, and You Done Mashed that Sucker Flat." That could be Leonard's them song. Loved it, loved it. You write so well!
| Tsukiakari no Ha chapter 1 . 4/10/2013
Haha lol Leonard got drunk. Nice story, btw :) its about time sheldon showed some kind of emotion :P Lmao, fuzzy sheldon xD
| PlanetKitten chapter 1 . 1/13/2013
This was awesome. I adore Sheldon/Leonard friendship fics, but no one seems to write them on FF. Favourited forever. :D
| Smile-I'mTheEndOfAllThatYouSee chapter 1 . 12/27/2012
As soon as you mentioned Wildwood, it brought back memories. I love how Leonard ranted about "one penny" and it could be taken as the cin or as the woman among all the beautiful girls
| Teobi chapter 1 . 11/2/2012
*Ridiculously long and rambling review Alert. You have been warned. ;) *
"I have to urinate."
"So pee."
"I can't. Your head is in the bowl. And your breathing toilet air."
- OMG, I lol'ed so hard I nearly spit out my tea. Toilet air! EEEW. We've all done it. What?
. As he lay there, Leonard made a mental note that he had never seen the bathroom from this angle before.
- What, not even with Priya? Whomp whomp
Ugh, poor Leonard. Your description is so vivid I almost feel like I want to hurl into the bowl myself! 'The peeling sound of the adhesive bond breaking between the toilet and his face filled the room.' - Niiiice. *goes slightly green*
I also adore your way with words. 'Tableau'. It even reads like something Sheldon would say!
" … hypovolemic … dehydrated … hypotensive … bilious emesis … small man but compact and well muscled …"
- I'll say. :p Sorry, I'm getting completely distracted from Sheldon's rant by the thought of Leonard naked...
"I might have to start imposing fines." ROFL!
. Penny.
He loves her. Beyond all measure. He loves her.
But she doesn't love him.
Nooo! Stop! I've only just got into this show and these two have broken my heart already! I love them. I feel like I've known them forever and I've only seen 12 episodes. (So far.)
'Nightlong rodeo sex.' - O.O Come again? (That's what she said...)
. Somewhere in the distance, he hears someone crying hard, heartbreaking sobs. He slowly realizes that it is himself.
"Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God. I love her. Sheldon, I love her."
- Leonard! No! OMG. I can't. I'mma cry any minute. :'{
. A gloved hand covered in latex gently pats his shoulder.
"There. There."
Now I'mma laugh any minute. Damn you! :D :D :D
The next bit is so touching. "Thank you, fuzzy Sheldon", and the way Sheldon listens to his friend rant and babble while quietly helping him to his feet and into his room and out of his soiled clothes. And poor Leonard, he's so vulnerable inside, I mean, I know I've only watched 12 episodes but these people have already captured my heart SO MUCH it's almost unreal.
And the gypsy woman! "She said that I'd always be surrounded by beautiful women and be lucky in love … Oh God … and I believed her … no … no … I mean I didn't believe her ... I didn't … but I want to … I really, really want to …"
Oh, but Leonard, you are ADORABLE! Any woman would be proud to have you! I know I would!
ONE PENNY! That's it. I am officially on the floor. This is too much. You're awesome, 5mississippis. (And I even know what your name means- it's how long a real hug lasts!)
Sheldon! "Well, on the bright side, you did get your money's worth of advice." - So proficient in sarcasm.
Hmmm...I wouldn't mind some Leonard-caused wreckage...sorry, what? Drifted away there for a moment. :D
Sheldon's pep-talk! OMG, it's beautiful. Listing all the women in Leonard's life, throwing in a few Sheldonesque jibes, being all slightly disapproving yet suspiciously intrigued.
"That is quite the tally, Dr. Hofstadter." It certainly is. Leonard doesn't do too badly for a geek. An adorable geek, that is, with a cheeky grin and naughty eyes and a way of squinting/crinkling his nose that just makes me DIE. I definitely would willingly subject myself to the Hofstadter Treatment.
"Leonard? Did you hear me?"
No response.
"Well. No matter. I'll tell you in the morning along with the multitude changes to the Roommate Agreement and all the cleaning fines you incurred."
- Awwwwww! But of course, that was the only way it could end, with Leonard not even hearing one word of Sheldon's genuinely honest tribute which came right from his strange but lovable little heart.
*Applause* I love it. With unconditional love. You're a terrific writer, you've really captured the heart and soul of these guys. I was so in the mood for a good Leonard story today, and I found one. I'll have to read all your other stuff now too. I must immerse myself in LENNY!
From a new BBT/Leonard (and Sheldon)/Lenny/Shamy fan,
Teebs x
Ok. I'm finally done. :)

Does anyone here suffer from ulcers.
If so, could you tell me what your symptoms are and what you are doing about it.
well first, you get tested for Helicobacter pylori bacteria, the most common cause of peptic ulcers. IF that is positive, you are treated with antibiotics. What you don't do is to take acid suppressors for months on end. They should be for short term use only. My doctor thinks it was the constant use of Pepcid AC and the like that resulted in my having osteoporosis. What finally helped me was just to eat more sensibly and cut out what were the obvious stressors like tomato paste and cheese. I also try to elevate my head when I sleep, and I don't eat anything after dinner. That has pretty much cleared things up after years of suffering. I had acid reflux and since that caused the esophageal cancer that killed the previous owner of my house, I was really motivated to straighten up.
Try caffeine free Diet Coke. No other brand seems to work for me ~ even the caffeinated Diet Coke does not work.
I have had the testing and taken the antibiotics and the acid-reducers. I used apple cider vinegar for the longest time.
Nothing works for me as well as the caffeine free Diet Coke.
I stumbled onto the diet Coke thing. I never drank any kind of pop. I don't think it is good for us, and I wish there were something else I could find that works as well. But nothing ~ not the acid-reducers (which eventually stop working), not the vinegar (which actually worked pretty well for me) works as well as Diet Coke.
A doctor told me once that the Coke might be replacing stomach acids, just as the vinegar had.
Or it might be the carbon dioxide in the bubbles.
Wishing well.

CPI Announces Finalists for 2014 Polyurethane Innovation Award
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Contact: Scott Lusk (202) 288-3233
BASF Corporation, Dow and Novomer, Inc., Named Finalists
WASHINGTON (September 5, 2014) – The Center for the Polyurethanes Industry (CPI) of the American Chemistry Council (ACC) today announced BASF Corporation, Dow, and Novomer, Inc. as the finalists for the 2014 Polyurethane Innovation Award. Attendees at the 2014 Polyurethanes Technical Conference will have the opportunity to vote for one of these finalists during the conference's Opening Session on Monday, Sept. 22. The winner will be announced during the Closing Session on Wednesday, Sept. 24.
The conference will take place at the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center in Dallas.
"We received such exciting submissions for this year's 2014 Polyurethane Innovation Award, and I am very proud to recognize these three outstanding finalists," said CPI Senior Director Lee Salamone. "I congratulate all three companies on their work to advance technology and the polyurethane industry. It was a very difficult choice for the judges due to outstanding entries from many companies."
The innovations selected as finalists for this year's coveted award are:
With Infinergy, BASF introduces the world's first particle foam based on expanded, thermoplastic polyurethanes. The combination of important mechanical properties and easy processing with an available technology make the material unique. Infinergy offers unprecedented unknown high energy return with excellent tensile and flexural characteristics. As a result, Infinergy is used as main sole component of adidas' new running shoe series "Boost," brought to market shortly after its development at BASF. Numerous additional applications are planned in the leisure, sports or packaging sector.
This collaborative innovation between The Dow Chemical Company and Preferred Sands expands the frontiers of polyurethane applications by improving oil productivity and the sustainability profile of the hydraulic fracturing process, which is an important element of the U.S. energy boom, manufacturing renaissance and job creation. Preferred RCS™ Resin Coated Sand with Dow TERAFORCE Technology (the enabling polyurethane) saves energy during production of the resin-coated proppant through shorter production cycles and low temperature, and reduces hazardous risks associated with proppant flowback. The technology also eliminates the need for an external activator, or additional chemicals, that competing technologies require to be injected into oil wells. The two companies continue to develop technologies for broader applications across energy markets, and ever-more efficient and sustainable oil and gas recovery. (RCS is a trademark of Preferred Sands TERAFORCE is a trademark of The Dow Chemical Company or an affiliated company)
Novomer Inc. has pioneered technology that allows waste carbon dioxide to be combined with traditional chemical feedstocks to produce polypropylene carbonate polyols for use in polyurethane formulations. These polyols contain more than 40% carbon dioxide and are targeted for use in coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers, as well as rigid and flexible foams. They are being marketed under the Converge trade name, representing the convergence of performance, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability. In addition to reducing the petrochemical feedstocks by up to 50%, Converge Polyols are unique in their alternating CO2-epoxide units in the carbonate backbone. This structure yields high performance properties such as durability, chemical and UV resistance, and strength. Converge Polyols also have a significantly reduced carbon and energy footprint compared to traditional polyols.

A panel of judges, comprised of experts representing technical disciplines and the polyurethane supply chain, evaluated all eligible submissions. Judges evaluated and scored all entries based on impact on the polyurethanes industry, uniqueness of the innovation, quality of the science and societal impact. The three submissions with the highest scores were selected as finalists for the 2014 Polyurethane Innovation Award. Each finalist will prepare a poster describing the innovation which will be on display at the conference.
Each finalist will also share a three-minute presentation detailing the uniqueness and impact of the innovation, along with the benefits it will bring to the industry and society, during the Opening Session of the 2014 Polyurethanes Technical Conference on Monday, Sept. 22. Each individual conference registrant attending the Opening Session may cast one vote for one finalist. The finalist with the most votes from the audience will receive an additional 20 points to be added to the score from the judges. The innovation with the highest total score will be deemed the winner and announced on Wednesday, Sept. 24, during the closing session of the 2014 Polyurethanes Technical Conference.
All entries for the 2014 award were required to represent new innovations that have not been previously submitted for the Innovation Award and had not been available for commercial sales longer than 15 months prior to June 18, 2014.
Entries pertaining to a polyurethane product or polyurethane manufacture were required to relate to polyurethane chemistry, which is expressly defined as the reaction of an isocyanate with a polyol. Innovations in polyurethane chemistry may include finished products, initiatives, training or education programs, or processes or processing equipment.

What's for dinner Saturday?
I've been doing laundry--whites and the sheets. I just use the same sheets and take them off, wash, dry and put them back on the bed. Much easier than folding them :-)
I was inspired by Raven's sausage-rice casserole on last night's post, so I made up my own for tonight. I had leftover corn casserole, rice in the freezer, sausage already thawing so I'll add some onion and green and red peppers to the sausage while it's browning, dump it all together and hope for the best.
What are you having for dinner?
Shirley, I just love meat loaf--mainly so I can have a sandwich the next day with mustard! Is your daughter still visiting?
Glenda, I aleady commented on your post. I'd love to go to that restaurant. I think Harry would be ever so happy in Birmingham :-)
Sue, if I were you, I'd be too excited to eat! (Because of your new frig.) Sure hope it comes soon.
Tonight was Trivia night at our club. They have it once a year. There's a group of ladies whose husbands don't care to go so we get up a table of ladies. We don't usually do too well but have a great time. DH ate the left over hot chicken salad. We had a buffet...not that great but a good time was had by all. Our team came in second from last but wait until next year!
Glenda, that sandwich looks yummy. Was it as good as it looks?
Vetaal.....good to see you posting. How are you doing?

Hopefully the NX will be continuous with the Wii U in some way. I still love it as a system, hope they'll have many more great games for it. On the other hand, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they just finished making the current set of exclusives and then ditched it. Even if Zelda is the last big game we get, I think it's still a console worth owning. That's quite a lot of good games!
Honestly, they could have a console exclusive to the characters essentially in the Smash Bros roster (ie; a new Kid Icarus game, a new Star Fox Game, a new Fire Emblem, a new Metroid, etc.) and I think that's more than enough for most and they don't even "need" 3rd party support (in a matter of speaking). It's just a shame that hasn't been the case.
This E3 will really be interesting for them I think.
Also, just super-sayin, but I actually really liked the tablet for games that used it.

Geergianne Nienaber: OCHA reports that several non-governmental "charity" organizations (NGOs) are about to reduce their activities relating to clean water and sanitation "because of a lack of funding or to focus on longer term strategies."

Oilheat Industry Charges R&D Fee
The National Oilheat Research Alliance (NORA) has resumed full operations in 2014 after Congress decided to extend the program by five years. Retailers of oilheat began paying a mandatory $.002 per gallon fee in April 2014. The funds are to be used to develop meaningful product improvements for heating oil consumers.
NORA is 100 percent funded by the industry, and its initiatives have helped to reduce oilheat consumption by 30 percent over the last decade, which amounts to nearly $600 in annual savings per customer, according to NORA's website. When asked why the industry would want to reduce consumption of its own product, NORA's President John Huber said, "The industry understands the challenge of high energy prices and believes preserving the customer for long term is the best strategy."
The current NORA statute requires NORA to allocate no less than 30 percent of its annual budget to research and development of new oilheat products, systems and solutions to benefit the seven-million homes and businesses using heating oil for space heating and hot water.
Last week, NORA held its first R&D conference/workshop since Congressional re-authorization. Participating in the conference were a mix of oilheating marketers, installers, technical experts, manufacturers and other interested parties.
Among the covered topics were: renewable bioheat blends, high efficiency heating equipment, fuel quality and advanced heating controls. Ideas included modulating burners, better test equipment for fuel, and higher bioheat blends.
Thousands of buildings in New York City use No. 6 and No. 4 heating oil. In 2011, the city instituted a four-year plan to phase out No. 6 by July 2015 to reduce soot pollution.

Wait, was this thing on?
Those big black crows are the only kind that can stand the smell of that lake.
Just put up owl decoy, drives them nuts
Problem: They are smart and learn quickly. Too fast - IMO.
I have no idea how they do it but they seem to know when your armed and stay out of range. Leave the gun at home and you'll see a million of them. Murphy's Law reigns supreme where crows are concerned.

Cross Interleave Code for Error Correction of Digital Audio Systems
A new error-correcting code named cross interleave code was developed for digital audio systems, and was applied to a digital audio disk system, in which the yield of disks greatly depends on correctability. In this paper, the theory and computer simulation of correctability are described.

I was wandering for a long while about the connection between NetApp's LUN Serial and the identifier the host sees, aka "Word 83″. There was an obvious connection, but I figured it out only today.
The LUN Serial is an ASCII representation of the hexadecimal Word 83, or, to be exact, the last 22 hex characters of it.
lun serial /vol/volume/qtree/lun
Serial#: 7S1PW?Bym7B
When querying the multipath device represented there, we get:
Following some unknown problems, I had recently several XenServer machines (different clusters, different sites and customers, and even different versions) with a VDI-END-of-File issues. It means that while you can start the VM correctly, perform XenMotion to another server you are unable to do any storage-migration task – neither Storage XenMotion, nor VDI copy or VM-move commands. In some cases, snapshots taken from the "ill" disks were misbehaving just the same. This is rather frustrating, because the way to solve it is by cloning the disk into a new one, and your hands are bound.
It has been a while since we held the Xen Project Developer Summit. All slides have been posted on our slideshare channel (prefixed with XPDS14) and are also available on youtube. Slides and videos are also available on the presentation & video page of our website (again, just search for XPDS14).
The Xen Project team is pleased to announce the first Test Day for 4.5 Release Candidate 1 will be held on October 29, 2014. The 4.5 release is just a few weeks away, so this is an important event in our development calendar.
Test Days insure that the upcoming release is ready for production. It also allows power users to test out the upcoming release in their own environment.
The recent XSA-108 vulnerability resulted in a lot of media coverage, which ended up stress-testing some of our policy and security related processes. During the embargo period of XSA-108, the Xen Project Security Team was faced with some difficult questions of policy interpretation, as well as practical issues related to pre-disclosure list membership applications.
Back in 2013 Citrix made XenServer fully open source. As part of that work the previously closed Windows drivers for paravirtual devices were opened up and made available to the community on . These drivers were still very much tied to XenServer though because of assumptions that were made about the platform and reliance on certain patches carried in the XenServer patch queues.
There has an unusual amount of media attention to XSA-108 during the embargo period (which ended Wednesday) — far more than any of the previous security issues the Xen Project has reported. It began when a blogger complained that Amazon was telling customers it would be rebooting VMs in certain regions before a specific date. Other media outlets picked it up and noticed that the date happened to coincide with the release of XSA-108, and conjectured that the reboots had something to do with that.
The Xen Project Security Team today disclosed details of the Xen Security Advisory 108 / CVE-2014-7188 (Improper MSR range used for x2APIC emulation). The Xen Project does not normally comment on specific vulnerabilities other than issuing security advisories. However, given wide interest in this case, we believe it is helpful to provide more context.
After several days offline, the Xen Project blog has returned!
Our blog had been subjected to malicious activities, so we had to take it down and remedy the situation. We're back now, and although there are a few minor issues to address, we are ready to move forward.
A few things you may notice:

THERE ARE a few things one can expect with confidence from a day at Portland International Raceway: the roar of engines, the smell of diesel, maybe a satin jacket or two. But not when the race-day event is called Electrathon America, held May 24 to 26, during which drivers rip silently around the track in vehicles powered not by high-performance fuel but by two 12-volt batteries. (OK, we can't promise there won't still be a few satin jackets.) "Ripping" might be an exaggeration, since the fastest low-slung, one-man electric cars top out at a little over 50 mph; the goal is to complete the most laps in one hour without recharging, making it a race for efficiency rather than for speed. About 20 teams competed last year, including one Hawaiian squad who, in 2006, had to pack their ride, one piece at a time, in their carry-on luggage and reassemble it on the mainland. Not that the reassembly was any kind of a setback: They still took first place.

RSJ 20 Year Anniversary T-Shirts and Booklets
T-Shirt and Booklet ORDERS ARE CLOSED
Can't make it to Romance Slam Jam 2015 to celebrate 20 years of Black romance with us? Don't miss out on your collectors T-shirt and booklet.
Between now and March 12, we are taking orders. Be sure to include your mailing address when you make your payment. Shipping is $6.
If you'd like more than one T-shirt, do not use the below button. Let me know the quantity, sizes and mailing address at ORDERS CLOSED (Remove spaces) and I'll email an invoice.
You DO NOT need to have a PayPal account in order to purchase a 20 year anniversary T-shirt. You can also pay with a credit card. From the payment form, in the bottom right corner choose the option to pay with a card.
Romance Slam Jam News March
I can officially say Romance Slam Jam is THIS MONTH! Woot, woot! I'm ready. Are you?
I see Yvette is busy sending out emails to those who are registered to choose whose table they would like to sit at during the keynote luncheon.
Barbara is contacting registered authors to arrange the final schedule. Once the schedule is final, it will be emailed to those who are registered. I'll also be sending out a call for Volunteers to help with the conference. We need people to take tickets at events. Help with registration. Moderate… The event is all volunteers.
I'm meeting with the hotel to go over our menu again.
Yep, there's LOTS going on. Regular registration has ended, but I will not be changing over the website until tonight (1 March), so if you haven't registered and plan to attend, get your registration in and save $50. We still haven't reached 176 attendees. That magic 176th person gets their registration fee waived for 2016! Will it be you?
Talking about registration, there are two parts to registration. After you pay the fee, you must also complete the registration form or we have no way of tying your payment back to you. If you pay under one name (for example your pen name or husbands name) but then register under a different name, be sure to indicate that in the comments section of the form.
Fun Times!
We aren't waiting for the Slam Jam to start the fun. Who likes crossword puzzles? We have two RSJ History Crossword puzzles for you. Bring your answers to the Slam Jam (don't forget to put your name on the top of the sheet) and turn them in as you pick up your registration packet. A winner will be drawn at the Pep Rally on Friday (you must be in attendance). I'll post the answers after the conference. HINT: The History page of the RSJ site is a good place to start looking for the answers.
Romance Slam Jam History Part I
Romance Slam Jam History Part II
Big shout out to Paulette Nunlee of 5 Star Proofing for creating and donating the crossword puzzles. http://fivestarproofing.com
Have FUN!
Last Minute
I know some of you wait until the last minute. It's all good. Let's do this.
That's All
Okay, that's it for me for now. A few days before the conference, I'll email you with any additional information you'll need. I'll also post it on the website. Up next we have our Host Check In with Keith Thomas Walker!
See you in Dallas!
Deatri King-Bey
Host Check In
It's almost that time. Can you believe March is already here? With springtime comes the birds and the bees and plenty of romance, and there's no better place to celebrate than the Romance Slam Jam in Dallas! I'll be here (actually I'm already here), along with a lot of your favorite authors and best book friends. We've got tons of awesome activities planned this year. If you still haven't registered yet, what the heck are you waiting for? You don't want to be sitting at home watching all of the fun from our Facebook posts. Trust me, you'll regret it later. For everyone who's already registered and booked your flights and hotel, I can't wait to see you in the Lone Star State! We're gonna have a rootin' tootin' good time. You may never want to leave!

Romance Slam Jam News – February 2015
February has arrived, and the Slam Jam is NEXT MONTH! My does time fly! I can hardly wait to see my RSJ Family!
You know the Pep Rally I've been talking about that we're having at the Slam Jam? Well, did I mention that the first person who registered for RSJ 2015 will have their registration fee waived for RSJ 2016? No, really. I didn't? Silly me. Last year we had 175 people register for the Slam Jam, so whoever is the 176 person to register this year will have their registration fee waived for RSJ 2016.
That's not all. Since this is our 20th Anniversary, whoever our 200th registrant for RSJ 2015 will have their 2016 registration fee waived and we'll also be reaching back to waive the 20th registrants fee for 2016! That's not it. Guess what happens when we hit 220. Registrant 220's registration fee for 2016 will be waive AND we'll be doing a drawing for another fee waiving at the Pep Rally. Once we hit 250. Yep, you guessed it. Registrant 250 gets their 2016 registration fee waived and another fee waive will be put in the pot for a drawing.
Our largest Slam Jam to date was the 2008 Slam Jam in Chicago with 298 attendees. If we hit 300 this year, the 300th registrant's fee for 2016 will be waived and three more fee waives go into the pot for the drawing.
The overwhelming majority of our registrations usually occur during February. Our next milestone is 176 registrants. So you have LOTS of opportunities. Will you be one of the winners? Register today!
Seating at the Keynote Luncheon is going to be done a little differently this year. We have fifteen authors who will each be hosting a table during the luncheon. Early March, we'll be sending out invitations to those who are registered to select which author they'd like to dine with. View the list of Keynote Luncheon Feature Authors.
This year we'll have a photographer to take portraits and candid shots of our events. The 5×7 portraits cost $15 and can fit up to three people per picture. Your picture will be ready for you the next day, and those taken on Saturday will be mailed. There will be an appointment sheet so you don't have to stand around waiting for your picture. A collection of candid shots of our events will be $40, in CD format and mailed.
Next Sunday (Feb. 8) the ballots to vote for Cover, Debut Author and Author of the year go out to those who are currently registered or who have attended any Slam Jam since 2008. Be on the lookout!
Don't forget that some of our RSJ Book Clubs have chosen titles to discuss during the Slam Jam. Be sure to get your read on!
Please spread the word about the Slam Jam. There are so many more who would love to join the Romance Slam Jam Family who don't even know we are here!
That's all, Folks
Up next is the host check in with Evelyn Palfrey.
See you in DALLAS
Deatri King-Bey
Host Check In
Romance Slam Jam 2015 is only a few weeks away, and this is my last host check-in before the great event.
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. Despite some sadness and loss, and the usual annoyances, I sure did. Now, the Christmas cards have been taken off the mantle and donated for crafts projects. The Christmas tree and decorations are safely ensconced in the attic for another year. Seeds for the Spring garden have been ordered. Right now, it's a balmy 70 degrees—but 32 predicted for tonight. Texas weather is variable this time of year. But it evens out by March. Onward!
Today, I am going through my t-shirt drawer to find all of my shirts from previous RSJs. My intention is to wear the oldest one I have, but if it's not 'presentable,' I'll choose the one I think is prettiest to wear on Throwback Thursday. Or maybe I'll just bring them all. I'm getting excited just thinking about it!
Every Slam Jam I've attended has been different—and even more fun—than the one before. I expect this one will be even more so. There are new activities planned, and new twists on standard ones. Did I mention that I'm excited??
I am thinking of friends I have met through RSJ, some of whom I've now known for nearly two decades! And some I met just last year in New Orleans. I am looking forward to seeing them—and to making new friends who love Black romance. Did I mention that I'm excited???
Hope to see you there.
RSJ 2015 Keynote Luncheon Featuring Speaker Gwendolyn Osborne
Whose table will you be seated at during RSJ 2015's keynote luncheon featuring speaker Gwendolyn Osborne!
Haven't registered for the conference yet. Wha'cha waiting for? Registered attendees begin selecting their table in February!
Passing of a Black Romance Pioneer
It's with great sadness that I share that we've lost another of our Black Romance Pioneers and a wonderful woman. Gwynne Forster (Gwendolyn Acsadi) passed Friday, January 16, 2015.
Memorial service is Saturday, January 24, 2015 11:00 am at the Good Shepherd Church in Roosevelt Island, New York. The family invites everyone to the service for a celebration of her life and remembrance of her sweet, kind soul. Please keep the family in your prayers and hearts.
