Keep Walking Music is an independent music blog formed in October 2011 by Ben Ali. Dedicated to discovering and featuring exceptional artists that we feel deserve a platform in the public eye.
Our primary task is to show the public, the impressive work and the dedication of promising artists, teeming with immense talents. Indeed, to date, we have managed to establish a finding that proves that the best music is often produced by artists still unknown to the public, because they engage much more than celebrities.

Pitching a track to a publisher or record label is almost like going for a job interview. Think about it. If you went for a job interview you would prepare days or weeks in advance making sure your CV was up to date, perfectly arranged and full of well-written content. You would go to that interview dressed the part and ready to blow them away because you want that job.
Well, it's a similar scenario pitching a track to the industry. You have this amazing opportunity to pitch to the decision makers here on Music Xray so make it count. Your track should stand out from the crowd and make that all important impact. Every submission should blow away the listener.
On so many occasions when listening to submissions I hear tracks that are not yet finished. I realize that being the writer we get close to our tracks and perhaps we can't hear what a nice fresh, experienced pair of ears can hear.
If you want real hard truth about your tracks and what you can do to make that track stand out and blow the listener away I will take your track apart and give you my professional advice on Composition, Arrangement, Production, and Lyric. I will also advise on how commercial I think your track is and give you some ideas on where you could take your track next.
My experience as a successful Composer/Songwriter and Music Publisher over the last 25 years can help YOU make the most of your song submissions.
Send me your tracks and I will also give you follow on advice if any changes have been advised.
Thanks again

I've worked in the music industry for many years with multiple labels and award winning artists of all genres. What I have discovered during my journey is that most indie music creators don't know what labels and artists are looking for so they just record/send and hope for the best. Honestly there's nothing wrong with that approach except is can get draining over time.
What if you could have your music professionally critiqued and given constructive feedback as to how you can adjust what you do to fit your target clients? That would make a world of difference right? If that sounds enticing, then lets get to work. This week only, I'm critiquing music for less than a movie ticket so there's absolutely no excuse not to get the info you need to advance your career. In closing, I look forward to hearing from you ... AGAIN, LETS GET TO WORK.

We are happy to listen to all styles of music and advise accordingly. Carnaby Beat Studios have considerable experience in the reviewing of songs both bands or soloist. However, it is important to remember that this review is only an opinion and other organizations may view your work differently. Irrespective of our opinion as to the quality of your work, you should consider the review as a method of improving your chances of being signed to a major label or successfully releasing it to the public. It is important to remember that before a song is released, it will go through several processes to improve its marketability. These processes may include numerous re-mixes, stages of editing and production. It is likely that your work will not yet have had the benefit of these processes and this may be reflected in our review.
Primarily, this critique is intended to be of use to the writer and is an independent and honest opinion as to the quality and marketability of the work. You may wish to include a copy of this critique when submitting your work to a Record Company Agent, or publisher. Any agent is welcome to verify the authenticity of our critique by reference to the writers name and the work title.
This review is copyright owned by Carnaby Beat Studios via MusicXray. Whilst you are freely authorized to distribute and reproduce this review, it may not be altered or amended.
Finally, we may have praised the quality of your work. However, it is quite possible that we have not. Whilst we will never intentionally cause upset or disappointment, we will also never provide a false or misleading opinion. Doing so would benefit no one; and we trust you understand this. It may also appear that we have concentrated our remarks more on the failings of the work than where it succeeds. This is very often the most constructive means of improvement. Where your work succeeds, you require little more than confirmation. However, it is where writing can be improved that advice and clarification is mostly beneficial and so, naturally, these aspects of your work may be the focus of the key points of this review.

La belle vie of le beau vie, la réunion of le?
Do you do business in France during lunch or afterwards?
When you talk to your French business partners, you can be consumed with uncertainty. You know that a good relationship with French people stands or falls with clarity of communication. But what is the correct approach? Culture is at least as important as command of the language.

Global 3D Printing Gases Market: Overview
3D printing or additive manufacturing practices are required to be undertaken in controlled environments with minimal exposure of materials and processes to impurities to produce high quality products. Gases such as nitrogen and argon are commonly used to provide the inert atmospheres required to meet the high-tolerance standards of this field.
3D printing gases are used for various purposes, apart from improving the quality of 3D-printed parts. These include reducing oxidation of forged parts by lowering the oxidation content in the print chamber; maintaining constant pressure to create a stable printing environment; inhibiting combustible dust during sieving and powder handling to improve safety; lessening the clumping of powder in feed tube, and controlling thermal stress through gradual cooling for preventing part deformities.
The global 3D printing market has seen exponential growth in the past few years. The technology has started making inroads into the mainstream manufacturing and consumer products market. The market is likely to witness rapid growth in the near future, consequently driving the global 3D printing gases market.

Over the years, I have realized that God often has a person teach the exact thing that they themselves need to be learning.
A couple weeks back, the woman I help teach Sunday School with asked if I wanted to teach the weekend before Valentine's Day. I could do that lesson, she said, because I always liked doing the "holiday" lessons. This is true, I do love teaching the lessons and Thanksgiving (especially Thanksgiving), Christmas, Easter, and anything else I deem holiday worthy. I agreed immediately. Poor Earlene teaches just about every week because, to be honest, I really didn't want to be teaching Sunday School at this point. I teach whenever she asks, but otherwise, I am content to just be in the class and help with whatever I can.
I started thinking about this lesson immediately. I thought about I Corinthians 13, the love chapter. I like that passage, but I don't think it's practical to teach out of this when you're dealing with 4th & 5th graders. It doesn't have the kind of application I was looking for.
Instead I turned to a passage that has been on my heart nearly constantly for over a year now, Romans 12:9-21. There's so much good there, and it tells you how you can show love. You can't be evil to someone just because they've been evil to you, you need to practice hospitality, honor others above yourself, you shouldn't be concerned with peoples' status in life, rejoice with those who rejoice, mourn with those who mourn, do good to your fellow believers and help those who are in need. And maybe most importantly:
"Do not be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good." - Romans 12:21
I've been thinking about this passage all week, and as I was reading it this morning, I realized I wasn't living this.
I've been jealous of people when I should be rejoicing with them.
I haven't been taking care of the needs of the people around me.
I haven't been holding people in honor above myself.
I haven't been showing brotherly love.
I have been looking to avenge instead of leaving that in God's hands.
And I definitely haven't been blessing those who curse me.
God was calling me out. He is calling me out. I can't promise that I'm going to suddenly change and be something perfect, no where close. I can, on the other hand, say that I am going to be working harder. Working to put God back into the center of my life, into the core of who I am. I want God to radiate through me. If God is love, I want to have Him glittering through everything that I do.
So how the heck do I do this? Well, I am started today by apologizing to a friend I have been feeling frustrated with. I gave him a much needed explanation for my behavior, and also apologized for a grouch instead of rejoicing with him in the joy of where his life is taking him. I have been a coward, a jerk, and afraid of change. Afraid for myself and the changes in my life instead of helping expand his joy. It was selfish of me to be like this, and I am tired of this. I know God is too, so between the two of us, I am going to work on healing that relationship and moving on toward something better.
I will be better. Every single day.

Electoral Integrity Bill, Act One, Scene One.
Winston is sitting in his chair by the fire, with a whisky and a cigar. He is resplendent in his favourite purple silk dressing gown, and a pair of slippers made from the skin of everyone he has ever successfully sued.
A quill and parchment lie on the table before him. A list is written on the parchment.
We read over his shoulder:
1. Rid Party List of anyone likely to rock the boat in the face of unscrupulous behaviour.
2. Resurrect waka-jumping law to reinforce terror in remaining candidates.
3. Wait for Little Missy to pop out offspring.
4. Assume reins. Heh heh heh.
He sits back, takes a sip of his malt, and a long draw on the cigar. His eyes flicker.
There is a knock, and Ron Mark enters the room.
Peters: "Oh, hello Dierdre. I was just having a lovely dream about being King of the world."
Mark: (looking a little puzzled) "Erm, Winston, I'm not Dierdre."
Peters: (looks up sharply) "Well, who are you, and what are you doing in my bed chamber?"
Mark: "Um, this is your office, Winston, and I'm your deputy, remember?"
Peters: "Hmm. I thought you were taller than that."
Mark: "So did I."
Another knock, and Shane Jones enters.
Peters: (aside, to Mark, whispering) "Who's that?"
Mark: (with a sly smile) "That's, um, that's Dierdre, Winston. Remember?"
Peters: "Hmm. Yes, of course I do. There's nothing wrong with my faculties, you impudent young poor excuse for a journalist. Where's my lawyer?"
Scene Two:
There is yet another knock at the door. Tracey Martin and Clayton Mitchell enter without waiting to be asked.
Martin: "Winston, we need to talk about the Greens."
Peters (angry): "Don't talk to me about the Greens. I'll never put those imbeciles into Government. Never."
Martin: "But you did, Winston. Remember?"
Peters: "Who are you?"
Martin (sighs): "Tracey, your once-and-soon-to-be-again Deputy. We've had this conversation."
Mark (eyebrows raised): "That's news to me."
Jones: "Well it isn't to anyone else. Have you spoken with the Gallery lately?"
Mark (fuming): "So you're all in cahoots over this?"
Jones: "Egregious. Rangatira. Crayfish. That's all I have to say on the matter."
Peters: "That's more like it. At least Dierdre is loyal to me."
Martin: "Winston, that's not Dierdre. It's Shane Jones, your Fongaray candidate, and Minister of Several Important Things."
Peters (snarling): "Don't you second guess me, there's nothing wrong with my faculties. Where's my lawyer?"
Mitchell: "Winston, the thing is, we really have to discuss some issues with the Greens."
Peters: "Prosser? What are you doing here? I sacked you three elections ago."
Mitchell: "Winston, I'm Clayton Mitchell. I'm your whip. Remember?"
Peters: "Of course I remember! Somebody get me my lawyer. Where's Denis? Now there's a man you can rely on in a legal pinch."
Mark: "Um, you sacked him as well, Winston. Remember?"
Peters: "Yes, I remember. Damned sodomite. Bad for the Party's image. And mine. Not that they're one and the same. Nobody make the mistake of insinuating that. I'll sue."
Jones: "Egregious."
Peters (slaps the table): "Yes! Someone does get it! Dierdre, I want you to take over from me when I retire in 20 years. Mitchell Clayton here can be your Deputy."
Mark exits, slamming the door behind him.
Scene Three….
Jon Johanssen enters the office without knocking.
Johanssen: "Mr Peters, we have just had an urgent message from the PM's office. She's going into labour."
Peters: "Who are you?"
Martin (frustrated): "That's Jon Johanssen, your Chief of Staff. Remember?"
Peters: "Really? I thought you were some sort of professor. What happened to that Broome fellow?"
Mitchell: "You, um, sacked him, Winston. Right after the coalition negotiations."
Peters: "Shut up, Prosser. I didn't fire you back in 2008 just to have you walk in here casting aspersions. Where's my lawyer? For God's sake, someone go and find O'Rourke. I'm surrounded by imbeciles."
Martin: "It wasn't 2008 Winston, it was…..oh never mind. This IS your Chief of Staff."
Peters: "Alright. I understand all that. You don't need to explain the basics to me, young man. I've been doing this for a very long time, you know. Now what about the PM's office? I thought I was the PM?"
Johanssen: "Not quite yet, Mr Peters. That's what we need to talk about. The PM is going into labour."
Peters (genuinely perplexed): "What? But she's already in Labour. She's their bloody Leader, for goodness' sake. Even I remember that."
Johanssen (slightly flummoxed): "She's in Labour, not in labour, Mr Peters. That's what the message was about. She's going into labour as we speak."
Peters (agitated): "Well that's what this whole waka integrity Bill is about! This can't happen! Throw her out of the caucus!"
Martin (rolls eyes): "She's not part of our caucus, Winston. She's the Prime Minister, and Leader of the Labour caucus. She's going into labour because she's having a baby."
Peters: "Well why weren't we told?! This could have serious implications for the coalition negotiations!"
Johanssen: "We were told, Mr Peters. It's part of the 38 pages of secret documents. The negotiations are complete, the Government has been formed, and you are the Deputy Prime Minister. Remember?"
Peters (seething, and through clenched teeth): "There were only 33 pages of secret documents. Alright? Anyone mentions the other five pages and I'll sue. Understand??"
Johanssen: "Yes, Mr Peters. But the thing is that you're going to be Acting Prime Minister for the next six weeks."
Peters: "I won't just be bloody acting, I can tell you that."
Jones: "Egregious."
Peters: "Precisely, Dierdre. By God but this rabble need some leadership."
Martin: "Winston, this is important. You're going to be the Head of Government. Mr Johanssen clearly needs some direction from you."
Peters (aside to Mitchell): "Who is that fellow? I don't know him, but I'm sure I don't trust him."
Mitchell: "That's, um, Tracey Martin, Winston. She's a woman."
Peters: "Well that's a rum thing, Prosser. When did we start letting them in here?"
Mitchell: "1893, Winston."
Peters: "Hmm, so not too late to do something about it, then. Get me a report together, would you?"
Mitchell (backing slowly towards the door): "Um, yes, certainly, Boss." (Exits stage left)
Jones lays his hand reassuringly on Peters' shoulder.
Jones (sagely): "Egregious, Rangitira. Most egregious."

Buffering Blu-ray ISO files
So i have burnt all of my DVD and Blu-ray library and stored them on two NAS Servers, DVD (Qnap) BluRay (Thecus). I can stream the DVD';s fine but suffer veery bad buffering of the BluRay to the IPAD on the same network. My internal network is an Orbi Mesh and has good bandwidth.
If i unstandardised this correctly this should be possible, Infuse see;a the files and scraps them correctly starts to play but then spinning wheel of buffering and i give up. Is there any thing i have missed here in the setup or something special I need to do on the Setup or playback for this?
Welcome to the forum!
What protocol are you using to connect to your servers? If you're using SMB you may want to try switching to SMB 2 or SMB Legacy.
Thank you i will try that tonight and let you know...
Thank you , switched to Legacy and all good thanks again
Great! Glad you're up and running.

A professional longarm machine quilter for hire and some of the work I've done.
Yesterday I started working on Gloria's cross stitch quilt. The first step is to look over the quilt to locate the issues. Issues happen in almost every quilt. It's just the nature of fabric to have issues. It's my job to work with the issues rather than fight with them.
This quilt has pre-printed guide lines for the quilting. As you can see the dots are very faint. I'll need to work out a lighting around the needle that will let me see the dots better.
It can't be pressed to remove the wrinkles. Pressing would either make the dots permanent or else cause them to disappear before the quilting starts. I'll have to be careful when working near wrinkled areas to keep from quilting in a tuck.
Next step is to decide on a thread color. At first I thought of using one of these as a blender. Thinking ahead I decided a cream color thread would be better. Why? Well there's going to be alot of backtracking. The backing fabric is a cream color. Dark color thread on a light background will show up any backtracking that isn't perfectly lined up on top of each other. Also, by using cream color thread, the back will look like a cream color whole cloth quilt.
Now to put it on the machine. Umm…. there's no place to do stabilizing. Usually I stabilize by stitching in the ditch around pieced blocks. This quilt has only one seamed area and that's not gonna stabilize it en0ugh. I basted the layers together instead. I used a hot pink thread for the basting to make it easy to see and remove as I quilt. Hot pink shows up on both the light and dark fabrics.
The reason I baste it together is to be sure it's going to be fairly squared and even. Many cross stitch fabrics are not squared to begin with so they rarely come out even.
Oops! The batting came up short. What happened? I'm not sure. I'm positive I loaded the batting correctly. Possibly the top had a wrinkle in it when it was measured for a batting size. The wrinkle would be straightened as it's stabilized which would make it longer than originally thought.
No problem! Simply have to fix it before I finish the stabilizing. I go to my batting scraps and find one that will work. Right length. Check. Right type. Check. Right weight. Check.
How do I know which piece will work without pulling out all the batting scraps? Simple. I write the type, size, and weight on a piece of paper then staple it to a corner of each batting scrap.
Here's how I repair the batting. Lay the new piece over the batting on the machine and cut a wavy line along the overlap. Why a wavy line instead of a straight line? To prevent a weak spot that could later cause a break line to show on the quilt. Also a curve is much stronger than a straight line for batting.
Remove the small cut strips. I save these strips too. I use them for other crafts.
When the little strips are removed I butt the cut edges together and whip stitch them. I take a stitch about every half inch. Can you see how the cut line is barely visible now?
I want this repair line to be even stronger so I iron two inch stabilizer strips over the whip stitching. I do the ironing right on the bar of the machine.
Once the batting is made longer I finish the basting.
The camera batteries are low and I'm done for the day. Tomorrow I start the quilting.
Anita, since I have not seen updates I am concerned for your health or your mother's. Are you ok??
Loved seeing how you worked with this, Anita. When I join pieces I do a wavy "carpet cut" and baste too. I just haven't tried ironing on interfacing strips yet. (Of course, since I quilt with domestic treadles, I have to do that part on my table.)
I can't imagine being able to do that much embroidery on a large piece of fabric and keeping it from getting wrinkled. What a challenge!
I am so glad my mom's quilt is in your caring hands.

In this workshop, a discussion of the most important factors which explain how and why each of the reference countries has become technologically and economically advanced during the 20th and 21st century will be the starting point to define cooperation opportunities built on best practices in research and innovation, education and outreach and industry and trade.
CHPM2030: project launch
CHPM2030 is a 42-months project funded by the European Commission's Horizon2020 programme on Research and Innovation (grant agreement nº 654100) that started on 1 January 2016. The strategic objective of CHPM2030 is to develop a novel and potentially disruptive technological solution that can help satisfy the European needs for energy and strategic metals in a single interlinked process. In the CHPM technology vision the metal-bearing deep geological formation will be conducted in a way that the co-production of energy and metals will be possible, and may be optimised according to the market demands.

AIPG, USA (EFG affiliated member) | New Executive Director
The American Institute of Professional Geologists has announced the selection of Aaron W. Johnson, PhD as its new executive director. Johnson will fill the vacancy created by the retirement of William J. Siok, CPG. The selection was made after a national search and selection process. Dr. Johnson's resume includes over 20 years of planning, administration, communications, fund-raising, and teaching experience in the academic sector. He was awarded a doctorate in Geological Sciences in 2003 from the University of Missouri-Columbia, and has been the recipient of numerous awards and honors for his outstanding contributions to teaching and research. Dr. Johnson will officially assume the role beginning August 22.
Each month we travel to one of EFG's national membership associations and discover their main activities and challenges. In June we visited the Republic of Ireland. The IGI was formed in 1999 to promote the geosciences in Ireland and to represent the professional interests of its members. The IGI is a very active National Association Member, as well as a National Licensed Body Member, of the European Federation of Geologists (EFG). It actively encourages its membership to apply for the EurGeol title and as such has the highest per capita title holders of any EFG member. | Read more
This month we interviewed Dr. Irma Dobos, member of the Hungarian Geological Society (MFT) and long-standing EurGeol title holder. In May MFT celebrated an extraordinary scientific conference at the occasion of the 90th birthday of Irma Dobos. She has been an active member of the Society since her graduation. | Read more

Geological Boot Camp
Tremp, Catalonia, Spain, 4-9 September 2016
The Geological Boot Camp provides participants with an overview of integrated play modelling as typically used for exploration and development of georesources. Geological models of a key area in the southern Pyrenees will be constructed almost directly at an outcrop face. Most of the input data required will be measured directly at the outcrop while the remaining data will be supplied in the form of seismic sections and well logs. It is a great opportunity for students and young professionals who have not been on the field and not had the opportunity to work in real situations to bring geological theory into practice together. | Read more

City Code on Takeovers and Mergers
(Redirected from Takeover Code)
The City Code on Takeovers and Mergers[1] is a binding set of rules that apply to listed companies in the United Kingdom, such as those trading on the London Stock Exchange. Many of its provisions are mirrored in the EU Takeover Directive.[2]
The Code is designed principally to ensure that shareholders are treated fairly and are not denied an opportunity to decide on the merits of a takeover and that shareholders of the same class are afforded equivalent treatment by an offeror. The Code also provides an orderly framework within which takeovers are conducted.
- Rule 6, Acquisitions requiring offer of a minimum level of consideration
- Rule 9, When a mandatory offer is required, and who is responsible to make it
- Rule 11, When cash or securities are required as the offer
- Rule 14, Where there's more than one share capital class
- Rule 16, Special deals with favourable conditions
- Rule 21, Actions that could have the effect of frustrating a takeover bid require shareholder approval
- Rule 31.4, Offer to remain open for 14 days after unconditional as to acceptances
- Rule 32.3, If the offer is revised all shareholders are entitled to reconsider
- Rule 33.2, Shutting off cash underwritten alternatives
- Rule 36, For partial offers, the panel's consent is required
- Rule 37, Regulating a company's purchase of own securities
This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (July 2010)

text: There's lot of discussion now about "big data" and "open data". I've hunted stories from Britain and Japan that fall into three groups: using patterns in visitor behaviour to redesign their experience; using social data and peer benchmarking to help individuals; and using crowdfunding to measure demand for innovative new products. Distilling takeaways and twists on each set of stories, I suggest four principles for working with data that relate to curiosity, empathy and generosity.Read More »

Said Pace: From an intangible standpoint, we're still looking for the same things.Your dream solution is finally here.Vanderbilt is now 16 against the Big South Conference.
Canada won the Gold Medal in dominating fashion, with a 6 win over Russia in the title game.In his defense, Boeser has played two fewer games than Barzal due to being a healthy scratch the first two games of the season.All this stuff http://www.officialcardinalsnflproshop.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_T_J_LOGAN_JERSEY.html in the media about him not playing.Liza and I share an amazing relationship rooted in love and respect.
Once again, huge apologies to everyone.- Mick Jagger March 30 On Sunday, in pictures published by the legendary frontman appeared to be in good spirits on the beach in Miami, enjoying family time with his 2-year-old son, Deveraux, and his girlfriend, 32-year-old ballerina Melanie Hamrick.At the 2019 Grammy Awards, Beck won two trophies for best alternative music album and best engineered album, non-classical.To search for players who were born on a certain date, for example all players born on December 25, choose the month, day and year with the drop down boxes and then choose the 'Full Date Search' option.The win couldn't have come at a better time for Almirola, who nearly took the checkered flag at the season-opening Daytona 500 but was wrecked while leading on the final lap.
But 21, that's sacred.In 680 career regular season games, Smith compiled a record of with a 3 GAA and a .894 SV% to go with 22 shutouts.This series follows the pattern: 20s of exercise #1s rest 20s of exercise #2s rest Repeat this combination for 4 rounds 1 minute rest 20s of exercise #1s rest 20s of exercise #2s rest Repeat this combination for 4 rounds The Tabata protocol, developed by Dr.The 6-foot-5 forward recorded 22 points and nine rebounds in Radford's 79 victory over Presbyterian back in January.
How that was possible, no one knows.He's steadfast in how he wants his team to play.Pius X Catholic High, Every coach who visited said, 'We'll make Asia the face of the franchise,' Audrey says.Biblical prophecy tells us that this Jewish Messiah who will take the stage will be the antichrist who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God .You can argue two of the Bengals' more successful head coaching hires besides the first one came from outside Bengaldom in Forrest Gregg with an AFC title and Marvin Lewis with four division titles.Just follow these top-3 back exercises that will hit your lats, middle, and lower back.
He's the guy in charge of putting the whole team together and T. J. Logan Jersey I was very fortunate to be drafted Womens Mark Jackson Jersey by this franchise, commented Gillies, who was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2002.Mbu, 26, originally signed on with the Falcons as an undrafted free agent out of Houston back in 2015.Boeser was also been selected to the 2018 NHL All-Star Game, while Barzal was not.But he found his game in the third period.Radford has won 10 of its last 11.
The bond between members of the center fielders' union seems as strong as ever, even when their respective feats come at the expense of a teammate.If you're looking for a memorable and unique experience for your guests instead, options include watching the pregame warmups from the Penalty Box, sitting on the glass beside the http://www.shopofficialpacersonline.com/Authentic-Mark-Jackson-Jersey visiting team's bench, or enjoying the game in a private Executive Suite on the PNC Legends Level complete with access to all premium Clubs.We are to very excited to see what God has in the future for us.
In addition to Kingston's victory being of historical importance, it is also socially significant for WWE fans as his ascension to the top of the company's ranks provides much-needed representation for its viewers.The idea was that we would get to sit at each reception table for an entire evening, and every guest in turn would be seated at the grooms' table.

By Jackie C. · PostedThat made me smile. Thanks for that @Carolyn Marie! Hugs!
By JoniSteph · PostedJust a quick update. I have started communications in the last few days with my son, although limited at the moment, to messaging each other to open the way going forward. This I hope gets him to get better informed from his gay friend at work on LGBT++ and to talk to his wife regarding my visits to my grandson. There is indications that he is changing his point of views. Another quick update is 11 days to my HRT first appointment and I am so nervous, anxious, scared to be declined and all the rest of the typical feelings that I have read about. Even mood swings, crying for no obvious reasons, and going to bed to sleep, hope to awake to find it is all over,and is a year from now in a NEW body. sigh - not to be. To decrease some of the above, went to get eyebrows shaped yesterday decreasing the droopy eyelids and increasing the visibility of my pretty blues. That alone made me feel better. Discussed with esthetician, my best options for hair removal, recommended to see if HRT reduced the heaviness of my white facial hair or not. A wax trial previously done has seemed slowed the growth and quantity of hair regrowth, though not proven other than amount to to be shaved. Time will tell. Thanks for reading and have a great weekend all Big Canadian Hugs JoniSteph
By Jackie C. · PostedIt would be lovely if we could restore some semblance of democracy. I'm still seriously considering claiming asylum in another country if Trump gets another term. I'd rather not wait until the right wing declares that it's legal to hunt us for sport. Hugs!
By Jackie C. · PostedLove and acceptance is harder to practice than hate. It requires you to get to know somebody and extend some empathy. Hate is easy, "I don't like that person because they're not like me." No thought required. You're right though, the younger generation is certainly in a better spot than I was at that age. Your peer group still taught you to hate "the gays" and you went along with it because peer pressure. These days, kids are more open and accepting. There are still horror stories, but here in the Midwest (we're like the deep south, but walk it back about twenty percent), we seem to be mostly over it. I'm going to claim good influence from Canada. Thanks Canada! Hugs!
By Jackie C. · PostedYou took my traditional greeting. 😘 Welcome to the community anyway! We trans people are (estimated) to be about one in two hundred people. A lot of us are also closeted to some degree or another. Even more leave the community once they're done with the surgery and just live as their preferred gender. They don't want to be reminded of the pain of dysphoria... which I kind of get. Dysphoria sucks, but on the other hand I can't see myself turning my back on the next generation either... I'm rambling. I'll stop. Again, welcome to the community! I think you'll like it here. Hugs!
By Jackie C. · Posted@TammyAnne, she wasn't wrong. Producing creative work you can sell in two disciplines is difficult. Then again, we all need to have hobbies. Sometimes we're very good at them. I'm glad you're picking up the guitar again, the world needs more music. I don't actually want anything for Christmas. I expect a gift card from my father in law. I'll probably use it for underwear and socks like I did last year. That's not a bad thing, I have live five pairs of daily-wear in rotation and four pairs of "special occasion" undies. I could probably use another bra too if I can find one in my size (Sasquatch petite) that I like. The best gift I could get is just the smiling faces of my extended family and being made to feel welcome... part of that is going to be weird. By Susan's request, we haven't told her dad. This has in no way kept me from being out in front of her dad. I'm not sure he knows who I am. I'm making sure to play Santa for the gaming group. They all get cards because there's a lot of them. I've got some ideas for my niece... she likes goth jewelry as much as I do. No clue what to get for my nephew. Susan's getting a hand-painted jewelry box in the shape of a sea turtle. To me anyway, that's what the season is about. Giving little gifts to friends and family to show that you appreciate them and then spending time together. And now I'm tearing up... we so need a happy tears emoji. Hugs!
By SaraAW · PostedLove and acceptance can be taught as easily as hate, not sure why so many people prefer the later. Thanks for sharing Vicky. It sounds like your message was well received. *hugs*
By SaraAW · PostedWelcome Dillon.
By TammyAnne · PostedHello Victor. Welcome to the forums. I hope you'll find answer, questions and things to think about here with these friendly, helpful and supportive people. This is a good place to be. Since you're interested in game design, you should look at a program called 3DS Max, software made specifically for game creation. TA
By Charlize · PostedAs i listen to TV, radio and internet news it unfortunately becomes obvious that we are increasingly a target for the right wing. Fortunately at the same time society is more accepting than it has ever been. I hope the majority can again control the politics without gerrymandering and voter suppression giving hate the platform it has today. Hugs, Charlize
By Timber Wolf · PostedGood morning everyone, 🌷 Happy Birthday Willow!🎂 Happy Birthday Aerowswift99!🎂 Happy Birthday abstractemp!🎂 Hope you have a wonderful day! Lots of love, Timber Wolf 🐾
By TammyAnne · PostedI played Santa to myself. Skip ahead for the punchline. Backstory: a long time ago I was both a performing musician and a visual artist. The woman I was in a relationship with insisted I couldn't do both and had to choose. I chose visual art, set down my guitar and went. Punchline: I've been plunking around on a little classical guitar, but just bought a nice electric guitar to play. Who knows, I may even get back on stage someday! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

Back to the garden party in the rain . . . I saw a poster in a grocery store about a garden party for artists and craftspeople. As I am neither, I e-mailed the host and asked if it would be a good venue to promote my book.
She answered with an enthusiastic yes, so I bought a plastic table and prepared a display of my published writing (magazine articles, and a business magazine I'd edited).
I also brought a little dummy of Scissortown, mostly with rough sketches (only two finished color pix).
I used the two proposed covers you see above as conversation starters.
Most of us like to give our opinion, and the friendly people at the garden party were no exception. After explaining the color scheme (Tina's dress a pretty red, the kitty in orange and white, etc.), I asked folks which cover they preferred.
The results were fascinating. Most people had very little trouble making up their minds. Cover A is the one on top, with most of the tree showing, and Cover B is the close-up.
Here are some of the comments:
Cover A: "The whole picture is there." (grandma of a three-year-old)
Cover B: "It looks more put together." (photographer, young mother)
A: "It's really compelling for a kids' book." (young dad)
B: "A takes the mystery out." (mom of a young teen)
A: "It just grabs me better." (grandpa)
B: "The cat in the tree is bigger." (aunt of little kids)
A: "More detail." (local artist, mural painter)
B: "My granddaughters like cats." (grandma, great-grandma)
A: "I love the hair effect and the cat and the bigger tree." (mom)
B: "Because there's not so much clutter. Kids see straightforward." (woodworker, shepherd)
Cover A won, just as it did in the Words in 3 Dimensions Conference in Edmonton in May. But the artist types at the garden party were more evenly divided than the writer/editor types in Edmonton. Most of the people at the conference voted for A.
So that was the lesson from both the conference and the garden party: ask for people's opinion with an honest desire to know what they think, document the reasons for their choice, and then ask them if they'd like to be notified when the book is published.
The garden party led to the Farmers' Market invite, which I'll tell you about in my next post.

Was really quite Wen I went there, late afternoon as it goes from a cafe in the day 2 a high quality restrunt I went there as they where changing over, so got a waiter 4 just me, in a very cool cafe/restrint after a very hot day, great choice of food and hot or cold drinks
Always a warm welcome, great food and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended.
53-54 Cardiff St, Aberdare CF44 7DG, UK – 01685 882811
Excellent service from this restaurant. The food was amazing. The owner was very friendly and so were the rest of the staff. The owner offered us a free shot each as we recently got married and also deducted cost of an item as it wasn't fully to my wife's liking. Would 100% recommend anyone go to this restaurant if looking to have delicious authentic Italian food. Grazie David
Love this place visit very often maybe once a month the food is lovely and fresh really good Italian food love most of the staff really friendly and when the owner is in a good mood he often gives free shots ect. I would of given 5 stars only they have taken one of my favourite pest tagliatelle of the menu. I also think they should expand the desserts menu. I would also say that I think they have shrank the sizes a little bit as I've found the more I go. I think they should add more back to it as it was always good value for size and pasta and pizza is also cheap to make so the portions should be big. And maybe add one or two back on to the main menu. Lovely lay out inside romantic and a cute balcony where you can have cocktails and if you smoke you can do so. Again amazing food chef is very good the sweet patato fries are to die for!
Riverside Retail Park, Tirfounder Fields, Aberdare CF44 0AH, UK – 01685 876511
Called in with the Mrs for a quick bite, had two meals for less £10 and for the money both were good, not great but definitely worth the money. But two soft drinks cost us £6 more than half the price of the meal. So I'd consider that extremely overpriced. There was almost a 40 minutes wait for food which again let the experience down as there was nothing quick about the quick bite. I'd visit there again, but it wouldn't be my first choice of places.
Fantastic pub for the whole family to enjoy. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The range of food is perfect and the Sunday carvery was awesome!. The playroom for the children is spectacular. My 2 young boys thought it was brilliant. Pop in for a visit, you will love it.
