Hanging Lake Tunnel repairs continue
Aspen, CO Colorado
GLENWOOD SPRINGS " A single lane in each direction on Interstate 70 through the Hanging Lake Tunnels will remain closed for the near future.
The closure, through Oct. 19, will facilitate restriping and completion of work on barriers at either end of the tunnels in Glenwood Canyon, east of Glenwood Springs, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation.
The Hanging Lake Rest Area will also stay closed until Friday, Oct. 12, at about noon. Helicopter crews are picking up foam blocks that have been temporarily stored there. The blocks will replace some of the dirt that was excavated to repair the crack above the eastbound tunnel. They should help absorb the impact from possible future rockfall and lighten the load on top of the tunnel.
CDOT closed the eastbound lanes on March 30 and has since repaired a 70-foot crack in the concrete above them. The repair work was estimated to cost as much as $6 million.
Also causing closures is a $2.7 million project to rehabilitate the lining of the No Name Tunnels east of Glenwood Springs. Single-lane closures in each direction will remain constant until the work is suspended for winter, probably in early December, according to CDOT.
That project involves removal of the porcelain painted metal tunnel lining, repair of any existing cracks if necessary, and the replacement of lining with ceramic tiles, CDOT said in a news release. Work will also include some guardrail replacement.
Start a dialogue, stay on topic and be civil.

Rajiv Shah of USAID: How to Modernize Foreign Aid to Build a More Resilient World
Using foreign aid to foster resilience
Tanzania 2013
September 28, 2013
Also published by Scientific American
Your agency funds projects around the world to promote health, improve food security, and so on. About a year into your tenure, in 2011, you said that USAID is "no longer satisfied with writing big checks to big contractors and calling it development." So why are the funds still going primarily to big organizations?
We have actually moved more than $730 million to more than 1,200 small-scale, diversified, local partners. Some are small businesses. Some are small nongovernmental organizations [NGOs]. We have the same high standards of accountability for everybody, but we have dramatically diversified our partner base through this effort we call USAID Forward. We do it because we think more competition reduces cost and improves outcomes. And because at the end of the day, our goal is to exit these settings and have strong, capable local institutions take our place. We've gone from 9 percent of our spending going to local institutions in that context when I started to more than 14 percent—and that's last year's data. This year's data will show continued progress.
In the past, some countries have rejected U.S. food aid because of concerns about genetically modified organisms. What can USAID do to ease those fears?
Our commitment is to ending hunger through business, science and partnership. Now, as part of that effort, we invest with lots of research partners, always local, in developing new seeds and new crop varieties that can protect families from the consequences of drought or that have more vitamin A, and some of those projects are testing the use of different transgenic technologies. But it will always be the country's decision as to how to regulate and make decisions about the use of different kinds of technology.
You grew up in Detroit. What solutions from development might work there?
It's a place that is packed with engineers, scientists and innovators. I just think there is a huge potential for Detroit, for Michigan, and for the rest of our country to build an innovation-oriented economy that capitalizes on something we do uniquely well—which is invest in research, in science, in technology, in entrepreneurship and in the protection of intellectual property. All of those core elements have created thriving business sectors around this country, and I think they can be deployed even in tough settings like Detroit to help unlock its economic potential.

Finding the best hair products can often times be a challenge so, every now and then, I like to try new hair products that not only have a benefit factor but one that can address specific problems that I struggle with constantly. Split ends are a major problem for me and finding ways to remove them are a battle.
From all the blow drying and straightening, split ends have been a thorn on my side from as long as I can remember and a major contributor to my frizz.
I was given the chance to try a new hair line from Tresemme called Split Remedy which helps repair split ends overtime. The line includes Tresemme Split Remedy Shampoo, Tresemme Split Remedy Conditioner, Tresemme Split Remedy Hair Serum, Tresemme Split Remedy Leave-in Conditioning Spray, and Tresemme Split Remedy Leave-in Conditioning Treatment. For the past two weeks, I've tested out the line and now I'd like to share my thoughts about each one.
Let me say first that I've always been fond of Tresemme because they are an inexpensive brand that delivers salon quality results. I've tried split end treatments in the past but this line is completely special to me because it comes from a brand that I've experienced and always liked.
My review:
Tresemme Split Remedy Shampoo: This shampoo left my hair feeling clean and soft. I noticed a difference on my split ends after my first use and it got better after the second. There's still some roughness but definitely better than before. The shampoo also carries a lovely scent.
Tresemme Split Remedy Conditioner: The conditioner made my hair feel softer and smoother. I like that it didn't weigh my hair down and made it more manageable to style my hair. It perfectly complements the shampoo.
Tresemme Split Remedy Leave-in Conditioning Spray: It's very light weight and did more detangling on my hair. It softened all my knots and made my hair easier to comb through.
Tresemme Split Remedy Leave-in Split End Conditioning Treatment: This treatment protects you hair from the damaging effects of styling. This product is one of my favorites from the line because it effectively heals and mends my split ends while protecting my hair from heat styling tools.
Tresemme Split Remedy Hair Serum: Another favorite of mine because it reduced my frizz and gave my hair the ultimate shine for a polished finish. I use it everyday before heading off to work and I've a noticed a significant difference on my ends. My hair looks so much healthier too!
NEW Split Remedy, from TRESemmé, repairs up to 80% of split ends in just three uses. And with continued use, repairs further damage as it occurs.

Here a sex robot sits wearing headphones in Catalonia, Spain. Want to have sex with no strings attached? Sex robots or so-called sexbots are not just coming, they are already here.
RealDoll is reportedly working with robotics experts to make a more lifelike and unintentionally creepier love doll. Hopefully it won't dump you for the Roomba. These days, we've got all sorts of cool, high-tech toys to keep us informed, entertained and relaxed.
News U. HuffPost Personal Video Horoscopes. Newsletters Coupons.
Sex robots will soon be so realistic that we won't be able to distinguish them from humans, one expert has claimed. The high-speed networks promise to offer faster speeds and more reliable connectivity than existing 3G and 4G networks. While this will allow users to download films and play games more easily, it could also have an effect on sex robots, according to one expert. Not just movement, but humanlike movement to the point of being indistinguishable from actual humans.
Email us to find out how. The ancient Japanese ritual of Sumo is in crisis. Only last week, a Mongolian wrestler was forced to retire after assaulting a teammate — but that's just the tip of the iceberg.
It's a question that has sparked fierce debate among moralists and the robotics industry. And it turns out, they're all split on what role machines should play in future relationships. During a discussion at the Web Summit technology conference in Dublin on Wednesday, experts warned about the dangers of getting intimate with robots.
So you think to yourself, could love become any more soulless? For those who have given up on the opposite sex, or just fancy something a bit novel, why not try a sexbot? While you may be expecting a demure Pris from Blade Runner, or even a chiselled Gigolo Joe from AI, you may find what you ordered looks more like the love child of the sex doll off Only Fools And Horses and a Bratz figure.
According to the company's website, if you touch the 'Frigid Farrah' model in a 'private area, more than likely, she will not be to appreciative of your advance. People bond with robots but it's very one way. It is a violent crime. They are effectively reproducing real women, complete with everything, except autonomy.
A SEX robot manufacturer has revealed what their customers are looking for in their android lovers We spoke to True Companion, the US-based company behind the world's first sex robot, Roxxxy, to find out what makes their customers tick. When you order a product from the company, you're faced with a massive choice of options which determine what your AI lover will look like.
The sex robot industry is thriving, with some academics predicting that humans will be having more sex with robots that with each other by But while many people find the idea of sex with a mechanical object abhorrent, academics are keen to find out who is most willing to embrace literally this new technology. This involves showing empathy and keeping an interpersonal distance with robots. The men were shown a two-minute video of different female robots.

In the year 2036, the world is a very controlled place. Robots owned by a single corporation named IRIS have taken a vast majority of jobs. The majority of the population work under IRIS subsidies. Crime is nearly at zero, with the exception of actions from anti-AI groups labeled as terrorist organizations by the government.
While most of the humans live in massive cities, teenager Kyle Conscentia spends his days with his father in the Nevada desert. Day in and day out, Kyle's father recaptures the consciousness of robots in order to perform hardware upgrades. The two lived a comfortable blue collar life until Kyle's 16th birthday when things changed forever.
With the help of a fugitive AI robot and framed by the most powerful organization on Earth, Kyle sets out to clear his name and expose a dark and terrible truth to the world.
Kyle grabbed the last slice of bacon off the plate in the middle of the dining room table as his father topped off his mug of coffee. Dunking a donut into his coffee before taking a satisfyingly large bite Roland leaned back against the kitchen counter. He was tall but was visibly shorter than he used to be. Before the crash he stood a full six foot two inches. Nowadays though, with the slouch in his back and the pain in his right leg cause him to peak around five-foot-ten. He was wearing his normal work clothes, denim overalls covered in a variety of dark toned stains. His hands were rough and worn dry, and his brown steel-toed boots had seen better days. The leather tip of the left boot was rubbed raw and the steel protective layer was exposed into view. Under his overalls he wore a dark red and grey with brown lining plaid button up, a gift from Harold his handyman on his 48th birthday last year.
Kyle looked at his father drinking his coffee and smiled, "lots of recaps today," said Kyle.
Roland looked at his son, a wild mop of hair on top of a skinny boy with blue eyes who was wearing blue jeans and a Las Vegas Clipper's tee. "Not too many today, I think the order was for 25 last night," said Roland.
"That's not bad," said Kyle through the mouthful of pancakes jammed in his mouth.
"You going to take a breath in between bites or is this a suicide attempt?"
Kyle giggled as he slammed his cup of orange juice and sat up from the small square kitchen table. He cleaned his dishes and made for the door. Leaning up against the door with one hand and struggling to fit his feet into his shoes with the other Kyle peered out the small rectangular window cut into the door. Outside was his sanctuary. Kyle lived with his father and Harold their employee at the Clark County Cognitive Recapture and Recycling Facility for IRIS Machines. With five-hundred-thousand active IRIS models in Clark County, Roland and Harold had their hands full every day. A few dozen IRIS bots already lined up outside the small building with the sign overhead Recapture Station 1. The robots looked like people from all walks of life, a police officer still in his uniform, a female bot with long blonde hair, petite shoulders that Kyle thought were very cute and three large brooding male robots with mangled right sides.
"Looks like some construction bots got smashed up good," shouted Kyle as he peered out the window.
Roland stepped through the kitchen and living room and peered out the window, "must have been from that crane that collapsed last night, some new casino," said Roland. He pointed with his index finger at them, "Yeah, see Lyon Construction right on the back of their shirts."
"Well," said Kyle turning and walking back through the kitchen, "have fun at work," he said stepping out through the backdoor of the house. It was mid-morning and the sun was fairly high in the sky. The air still held a lingering crispness from the cold dry desert night. Kyle took in a long breath and surveyed...

The "our" above refers to my younger brother Thomas and me. We have a lot of interests in common and are in touch almost daily. Now Emeritus Professor of English at Seattle Pacific University and no longer tied to a teaching schedule, Tom is writing and publishing more than ever. The titles of recent books reflect his broad interests: Karl Popper and Literary Theory: Critical Rationalism as a Philosophy of Literature and Cain's Crime: The Proliferation of Weapons and the Targeting of Civilians in Contemporary War. The latest is Pornography and Genocide: The War against Women (Cascade, 2019). Tom did his undergraduate work at the University of California (San Diego and Berkeley) and earned his doctorate at the University of Washington.
Our father, Thaddeus Stephen Trzyna, graduated in electrical engineering from Armour Tech, now part of the Illinois Institute of Technology, in Chicago. His brothers followed him there: Charles in mechanical engineering and Zbyszko (Zip) in civil engineering. Their sister Irene had a lifelong interest in Polish and American history.
Uncle Zip became a career officer in the U.S. Navy Civil Engineering Corps, the Seabees. He was in the news in 1964 when Cuban dictator Fidel Castro cut off the water supply to the U.S. Guantanamo Bay Naval Base. Zip built a desalination plant in record time, so fast that Castro accused the Navy of stealing water. To show he was wrong, the base commander, Vice Admiral John Bulkeley (at right in photo, Zip standing) held a press conference at the point where the water pipe entered the base, dug it up, and showed that it was bone dry. Zip was a Captain when he retired.
Our mother, Irene Mary Giese Trzyna, taught middle school mathematics for many years in the town where Tom and I grew up, South Pasadena, California. Mom graduated from the University of Chicago, as did several of her siblings. The siblings were: Theodore (Doc), a medical doctor; Stanley, a hospital administrator; Eleanor, an elementary school teacher and administrator; and Max, who owned and managed the family "restaurant" and other enterprises into the 1950s.
Am I bragging? I sure am.

All you need to do is plug it into one of the USB ports of the computer and pair it with any Bluetooth device that you have. Our verdict about the dedicated keyboard dock is almost just as good.
Although only the bottom is comprised of high-quality aluminum, the silver-gray painted plastic on the top hardly gives reason for complaint. Perhaps the stability in the center area could be improved a bit, but the offer is fully acceptable in total.

HP has apparently designed the magnets that keep the display in the mount a bit too strong. Although this is not a major flaw, it is something that needs a certain amount of getting used to.

The transmission speeds are modest because the adapter is regrettably only single-stream capable 1x1. Alike most smartphones, the Envy x2 sports a microphone and two cameras. The picture quality of both cameras could be a bit better in view of their resolution and approximately correspond to that of Samsung's contender.
Apart from that, the manufacturer is rather tight-fisted in terms of accessories and only includes the essentials: We have not yet discovered the optional stylus, advertised by HP, in any stores. The device sports just as little software as accessories.

Crates of live pigs, goats and chickens... and a toddler in a high chair: The amazing things that fit on a scooter in Vietnam
- The Flash Pack co-owner Lee Thompson photographed incredible uses for scooters in southeast Asia
- Award-winning photojournalist Thompson was with a 14-day tour of Vietnam and Cambodia in April
- Woven baskets filled with chickens and pigs, and unique child seats seen on the scooters
Famed for phenomenal cuisine, majestic rural landscapes and vibrant cities, Vietnam offers an undisputed sensory overload. But there's one sight the becomes most engrained in the memories of even the most seasoned traveller - the wacky things people carry on the back of a motorbike or scooter.
Lee Thompson's seen plenty in his 14 years as an award-winning photojournalist covering the civil war in Libya, the revolution in Egypt, the tsunami in Japan and other extensive travels before he co-founded The Flash Pack, a small group flashpacking tour company.
But even he repeatedly marvels at what the men and women of southeast Asia can balance and transport on just a scooter or a beaten up old motorcycle, and on one of his company's Vietnam & Cambodia tours with a group of nine this month he was compelled to capture some of the finest.
There's seemingly no measure to what can be packed onto the back of a bike or scooter in southeast Asia
The Flash Pack's Lee Thompson captured this man with scores of live chickens in weaved baskets this month in Sapa, Vietnam
That's one way to pop a wheelie! A man pulls a packed trailer from a loading dock at the Mekong river crossing in Vietnam with a motorbike
In this series of images from a single 14-day trip, he photographs a man casually puffing on a cigarette and carrying what looks like more than 20 live chickens in woven cages perched on the back of his scooter in Sapa, Vietnam.
At a Mekong river crossing in Vietnam he is there to watch a motorcyclist dragging a massive trailer out of a boat loading dock on a bike, with the load so heavy he continuously pops wheelies, all the while not in the slightest bit bothered his two wheels have become one.
Thompson enjoys the fact that what looks quirky to a Brit is simply every day life for the locals. In Vietnam alone there are more than 37 million motorbikes or scooters, most definitely the vehicle of choice in traffic that would make western country's peak hours look tame.
'Unlike other tour companies we venture in to remote parts of Sapa where it's not unusual to see bikes carrying livestock like chickens, pigs and goats - it makes really great photographs but it's just a way of life for the locals,' said Thompson.
In Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, all that's needed to move some large piles of chairs is two wheels and some clever packing
Getting around on two wheels is a way of life in Vietnam where there are more than 37 million motorbikes (and only a few million cars)
'I watched as one of the bikers tried to work out how he would carry eight goats on his bike, he fell three times before he finally got going and the goats didn't seem to happy about it!'
A family of five and a smiling group of four adults pile onto scooters to get from A to B while another transport a giant pile of chairs stacked on a tray from one side of the city to the other with the power of just his humble two-wheeler.
With limited resources comes innovation, as is evident with one mother who has attached a cane high chair to the front of her vehicle to make it more comfortable for her to transport her toddler around town in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
'Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh are full of bikes and it makes the morning commute in London seem easy,' Thompson said.
'Even though most of our group was very well travelled the amount of bikes on the road still comes as a shock in these amazing countries - it's crazy!'
A mother fits a high chair is onto the front of a scooter for her toddler in this shot captured in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
A bike that's seen better days carrying pigs is not an unusual sight on the road to Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, says Thompson
A family drive is a cosy affair for this five-some packed onto a scooter in Hanoi
The man on the back of this scooter in Hanoi, Vietnam, holds a ladder and some building materials as they weave their way through traffic
Thompson says the eight goats in the cage on the back on this bike 'didn't seem happy' as the rider tipped them over three times
The commute in Vietnam makes the daily battle on the Tube that Londoners endure look easy, but they don't seem to mind
The morning commute in Ho Chi Minh City is certainly less stuffy than piling into the Tube on a Monday morning
And here are some more unique uses for scooters...
An assortment of exotic fish are in bags and ready for sale, cleverly attached to this man's scooter, in Hạ Long Bay, Vietnam
A basket vendor balances an array of products on the back of this small motorised bike in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

LoringBee wrote:Deeply, deeply frustrating. I actually thought we played quite well against a solid Dover side for 70 minutes, moving the ball well and getting into some good areas, including creating some decent chances.
As others have said, though, this was the game where it became abundantly clear that we do not have a proper centre forward to get on the end of the crosses being put into the box. I'm sorry but it is pathetic, frankly, that we have gone more than a year without a Conference-standard centre forward. Money cannot be an excuse - we've lost more players than we signed (including presumably big-earners like Tarpey, Cousins and Robson) and made a lot of cash from last season's FA Cup run. Currie has made clear that the issue isn't identifying players but landing them, which suggests it is about money. I suspect that this is another example of Kleanthous' penny-pinching costing us dearly but, whatever the reason, he owes supporters an explanation for what is an inexcusable failure to sign a player in the position that has been the top priority for months on end.
What was perhaps most disappointing tonight was the way the players seemed to just settle for a draw and stop fighting after about 75 minutes, rather than pushing hard until the end in search of a winner. We let Dover back into the game so much that it was easy to see them nicking it at the end, and so it proved.
As others have said, Currie's substitutions weakened us, although I don't think they were necessarily the wrong ones at the time. What I don't understand is why he waited until our best period of the game to change things, killing the momentum we had built up. IMO Darren is sometimes too reluctant to change the system and the shape rather than simply the personnel. Tonight, for example, I would've liked to see us go two up top and in general I'm still not convinced 4-2-3-1 is the best formation for this group, given we haven't got a proper centre forward and our wingers aren't good enough at getting balls into the box. A pairing of Coulthirst and Akinola would cause problems for defences but playing just one of them up top is not going to bother centre backs as much as it should. Despite their best efforts (and I was impressed with Simeon again), that was clear tonight.
On the topic of wingers, I thought EMC had a poor game tonight. He shows some good touches and trickery but the end product isn't there. It isn't enough for a winger to put in one cross per game, and he also pulls out of too many tackles and headers for my liking (possibly as a result of carrying a knock). He's got bags of talent and is a hugely exciting prospect but I'm not sure he should be a regular starter at the moment, although I accept we haven't really got anyone else until Mauro is fit...
Overall I'm still impressed with how Currie has got this team playing and think there are a lot of positives compared to much of last season. If Kleanthous provides the money for a proper centre forwarded then I think it could be a decent season. Hopefully we'll learn from tonight and respond in the right way on Saturday.

Jute carrier bags are manufactured from a natural jute material. The colour of the jute can be dyed prior to manufacture of the bag, as shown here for the side gussets of the carrier bag. The bag is shown flat packed. Printing onto the just carrier bags is not as accurate as a paper, as the material surface is not as smooth. To compensate, it is better to print larger texts or objects (if a photo quality finish is required onto a natural bag, we suggest a transfer print onto cotton carrier bags). The just carrier bags can be supplied with a variety of bespoke extras as they are produced mainly by hand. The handles can be manufactured to size from bamboo or other locally sourced materials, if not a standard jute handle. Windows and netting can be added, or pockets, or even decorative items. Generally these bags are produced in Asian countries (mainly India) and imported to the UK.
Beckdale arrange the production of bespoke printed jute carrier bags. Our in house design team love to help shops select bespoke printed jute carrier bags. To proceed with choose by material or similar , get in touch with our team via our contact page.

When Pixar and Disney announced that they would be making another film in the Toy Story franchise, people were surprised. Toy Story 3 had ended so perfectly that no one could even imagine what would happen in another film. But then Toy Story 4 was released, introducing new characters like Forky, Giggle McDimples and Bunny and Ducky. It also saw the return of Bo Peep, who wasn't in 'TS3.' Moms.com got the opportunity go behind the scenes at Mattel headquarters in California to meet some of the creative team for the movie, a few voice actors and the people who get to make the actual toys our kids play with.
First, we got to chat with the toy makers. With Toy Story 4, they treated the process as if this was an entirely new movie. Obviously, Buzz and Woody are the cornerstone of the franchise, and making those toys as accurate as possible is crucial to their success. In developing the toys (which is an extensive process) the teams at Mattel and Disney discovered that many children play with their Buzz and Woody toys much like Andy does in the early movies. One in each hand, acting out adventures.
We got to go behind the scenes and see how action figures are created, from the initial drawings and molding of prototypes (which is now done mostly digitally) to 3-D printing of more prototypes down the line. We also learned about how the toys are packaged, because as many of us parents know, kids are just as engaged with the box as they are with the toys! Specifically, we saw how the creation of packaging is not only engaging and can be played with on its own, but how they use the world of the movie to influence how toys are packaged.
View this post on Instagram
So, yesterday I got to go to Mattel headquarters and learn how the toys for Toy Story 4 are made! I also got to talk to the film's director and producer, some of the artists who worked on it and two of its stars! Then we got to go behind the scenes to see how Woody, Buzz and the gang go from idea to actual toys! You can read all about it soon on @officialmoms! And don't forget to check out Toy Story 4 on digital October 1st and Blu-ray October 8th! #toystory4 #toystory #mattel #pixar
Here's what the creative team and cast members had to say about being apart of Toy Story 4:
Josh Cooley (Director) & Mark Nielsen (Producer)
Where did Toy Story 4 come from?
Josh: We didn't even think '3' was going to happen. We don't have a Marvel Cinematic Universe planned out. Andrew Stanton [executive producer and writer] had an idea before '3' came out about what could happen with the return of Bo Peep. We knew that having Bo return would be a huge part of Woody's story and he couldn't ignore that because she's such a huge part of his story. It kept evolving and became Toy Story 4. We were finishing Inside Out [released in 2015], and Toy Story 4 overlapped.
How do you come up with the new toys [characters]?
Mark: They all came about for a slightly different reason. We had the story of Woody and Bo as the framework, but it's a great opportunity to introduce other characters that will challenge or help. Forky came up as an idea that was more gag based, like "wouldn't this be funny?" But as we put him in the story, he actually became very relevant to the story we wanted to tell and ended up fitting in far better and becoming a far bigger character than we ever imagined.
Josh: He started off as a joke. We're saying, "in this world toys are alive, so anything a kid plays with is alive." But kids play with rocks, boxes, does that mean they're alive too? So we embraced that. None of the toys have seen it happen, and then that character would not know anything. It would force Woody to explain what it means to be a toy, which can actually drive the story. The carnival came out of looking for places where toys exist that we haven't done before. That's almost the most horrible existence of being a toy is to be a carnival toy. You know you're never going to be won, you're cheap, and you see these kids that want you but they lose and leave. These characters are bitter, but fun.
How do you keep the franchise fresh for a new audience, but keep the heart for those who grew up with the films?
Josh: The audience is already invested in these characters. You've got built in love there, but it's a double edged sword. We've always thought of Woody as a parent. He's let his kid go, and in '4' he's an empty nester. This is a different kid [Bonnie], he doesn't know anything about her or how to help her. The only thing he can grasp on to is helping Forky, that will help Bonnie. We just went with what's the next step for Woody.
Mark: Woody longs so much to have this kid want to play with him and be there for her. And who steps in to fill that void but a piece of garbage from the garbage can.
Claudio De Oliveira (Pixar Animator) & Ana Ramirez (Pixar Visual Development Artist)
What was it like getting to create the new characters?
Claudio: I feel like it was a little bit easier because we were going into new territory. There was no previous interpretation of the character, you don't have to keep that legacy going. [Claudio had a direct hand in the creation of Forky] I felt connected to the character very early on. I had a dozen of them on the table at home, and my wife and kids were sad when they were gone. I was happy because they were connecting with the character without seeing him on the screen.
What was the process of making Toy Story 4?
Ana: Most films take about five or six years from concept. It's usually a director with an idea, and then a writer, and then art department, etc. will join in. The art department is brought in very early on in the process. We don't always get to see final shots, the art department works on everything early on. So it's a surprise for me when I see the final product. I teared up.
Claudio: It's a beautiful, chaotic production line that's very alive. It moves with the rhythm of the work we're doing. There's always someone to help you out (there are approximately 150 animators at Pixar working on several projects at a time), someone to lift you up. One animator can work on four seconds of animation in a week. The Pixar movies have a lot of depth of animation because we're giving it the time.
Kristen Schaal & Ally Maki (Actors, "Trixie" and "Giggle McDimples")
What is it like being apart of the Toy Story family?
Kristen: Being apart of this universe is an absolute honor. It's one of the coolest things. It's just a big ensemble — it's such a huge franchise, I kinda forget I'm apart of it. I feel like Trixie is a little piece of a larger, huger, heartbeat. It's surreal.
Ally: It's surreal. As someone who grew up like, perfectly aligned with the franchise, these characters are what taught me about friends and family and being apart of a team. They feel like part of my family. Buzz and Woody feel like, second cousins or something. So, to be apart of it now, I'm still pinching myself. This will live on in history forever. We were at the premiere and they said "it's time for the legacy picture!" and then everyone from [Toy Story] 1, 2, 3 and 4 came together and they were snapping pictures and I was like, "what is happening?"
How does it feel to know you're making memories for a new generation of kids?
Kristen: I didn't grow up with the Toy Story films, but when I got cast in Toy Story 3, I thought, "better watch 1 and 2!" And I was like, "these are great!" But it's an absolute thrill. Now that I have a baby and I'm watching her play with toys, it's resonating on a much deeper level than ever before.
Ally: It's so full circle. And I think for me it means so much because, growing up there wasn't that much representation on screen. Especially for Asian-Americans or women of color. So for me to now represent as the first Asian-American female within this universe is crazy to me. When I see girls dressing up as Giggle, that's their reality now. And that's something I didn't have when I was their age. It moves culture forward a lot.
What does Disney mean to you?
Kristen: I think they do really good work, and I love that I get to play with Disney! I think storytelling-wise, Disney has perpetually had a message that resonates "good."
Ally: Disney represents where my imagination was created and where it still continues to go. All the universes they create make me, and I think a lot of underrepresented people feel like they can do anything and be anything. They consistently try to push culture forward in a way that's positive. If you look at this Toy Story, you see the diversity, you see the women who are taking charge of the story line, and that changes things for the next generation.
Additionally, Josh and Mark gave us a head's up on the Blu-Ray's special features! There is a great documentary about the evolution of Bo Peep's character from the first movie to her very different turn in Toy Story 4. There's also a really fun interview with Tim Allen and Tom Hanks, who talk about their 25 years (!!) playing Buzz and Woody, and the friendship that has developed as a result. There is also an awesome deleted scenes feature.
Toy Story 4 is available now on digital, Blu-Ray and DVD formats.

A growing number of us realize that certain freedoms we have taken for granted for so long are seriously under threat. Unscrupulous governmental authorities and corporations driven by self-interests are overseeing increasing agendas with intended outcomes designed to make us comply, forcing us into more and more mandatory obedience. For instance, in recent years, we have seen the push for mandatory vaccinations with threats of barring kids from school, job dismissal and refusal of medical treatment for those not accepting vaccination, regardless of dissenting views. As well as mandatory vaccinations there are plans to make employees submit their DNA records with threats of dismissal for non-compliance. All done under the guise of "health preventative measures" for the "greater good" of the people. Then there's the case of the FDA's approval for microchipped pills as part of the microchip agenda. We know that the globalists and their governmental authorities or […] Read More

Russia has been increasing it's weapons capabilities recently, adding a newly improved "Super Satan Nuke" to it's arsenal and running test run drills with it. Now Russian President Vladimir Putin has proclaimed to American voters if they choose "Trump it's peace, if they choose Clinton it's war." This comes as no surprise and it's something that many of us feared deep down, but knew that it was likely true. Now Putin has said it out his own mouth. It seems that things are heating up in Ukraine and Syria. With Russian battle ships moving towards Syria and tensions building up along Ukraine's boarder with NATO, it seems like world war could break out any day. As We Are Change's Luke Rudkowski recently pointed out, Russia isn't playing games anymore. With failure after failure of peace talks and cease fires things are getting dangerous and Russia is running out of options. To have […] Read More

"Walk to everything. The hotel and staff were wonderful. The suite was pleasant, clean, and nicely furnished, and I loved the view of the ocean from the balcony. The only negative was that the AC didn't work, but it wasn't a problem due to the cooler weather. I definitely recommend staying here.

A Tory councillor has been arrested after an alleged racist incident at an airport taxi rank.
Councillor Shaun Smith, 37, who represents Wheelton and Withnell ward on Chorley Borough Council, was held by police after a late night fracas at Manchester Airport.
Police have confirmed that investigations are continuing into two suspected racially aggravated offences and that Coun Smith has been granted police bail until next month.
A statement released by Greater Manchester Police, said: "At approximately 10.20pm on Monday June 19, police were called to a taxi rank at Manchester airport following reports that a man had been assaulted.
"A 37-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated common assault and a racially aggravated public order offence.
"He has been bailed until August 7 pending further enquiries."
Coun Smith, of Briers Brow, Wheelton, was elected for the Conservative Party in 2004 with a majority of 256 and has two years of his term to serve.
He represents an electorate of around 3,000 and was appointed the borough's lead member for waste in May this year.
Coun Smith is a member of Lancashire Tourism Partnership, Chorley Environmental Group, The North West Tourism Board, and Heapey and Wheelton village hall committee.
Leader of the controlling Conservative group, Peter Goldsworthy, said: "I'm aware of this and must stress that no charges have been made at present and the police are continuing their investigations."
Donna Hall, chief executive of Chorley Borough Council, said: "While the case is subjudice it would be inappropriate for me to comment and especially as the exact nature of the allegations is still under investigation by the police.
"As a general rule, any councillor facing unproven allegations would remain in place until due processes have come to a conclusion.
"If found to have acted inappropriately they would then face the Standards Board of England and Wales.
"Depending on the severity of the allegations, we do have the power to report cases before they are concluded and this will become a consideration as and when more information comes to light."
Coun Smith declined to comment on the allegations.

Composite biodegradable formulation promotes bone regeneration in diabetics
Diabetes mellitus (DM) impairs the healing of fractures and there is a need for improved therapeutics to stimulate bone regeneration in diabetic patients. Fracture healing impairment due to DM can be addressed by combining non-viral gene delivery of plasmids independently encoding bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2), which has been demonstrated to act synergistically in promoting fracture healing in a DM animal model. Both insulin and vitamin D3 (VD3) have been independently shown to play key roles in regulating bone fracture healing in DM.
The aim of this study was to investigate if the local delivery of BMP-2 and FGF-2 genes, insulin (INS) and VD3 together could promote bone formation ectopically in Type-2 diabetic rats. A composite consisting of VD3 and insulin containing poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microparticles (MPs) embedded in a fibrin gel surrounded by a collagen scaffold impregnated with polyethylenimine (PEI)-(pBMP-2+pFGF-2) nanoplexes was developed. Using an osteoinduction model, this study demonstrated that local delivery of INS, VD3 and PEI-(pBMP-2+pFGF-2) resulted in a significant improvement in bone generation compared to other treatments. This study implicates that the combined local release of INS, VD3 and PEI-(pBMP-2 + pFGF-2) may be beneficial for promoting bone regeneration in patients with DM.

Do you read excerpts or sample chapters?
Most people I've spoken to about this seem to have the opinion that reviews and reputation far outweigh the marketing effect of free chapters. How many people actually download the free chapters? How many then don't get around to reading them anyway?
Have you ever had a reader say that they read your sample chapters and then went on to buy the whole book?
Marketing our books is usually the hardest thing for indie authors. It would be helpful if self-publishing sites like Amazon gave authors some helpful stats on pageviews for our books and the number of sample chapter downloads. I would not be surprised if my monthly sample download count is substantially lower than my book sales.
5 comments:
Great question! As far as accepting book review requests are concerned, I do request for an excerpt if I liked the blurb. Blurbs and cover arts are designed to grab one's attention, I would want to ensure that I actually like the writing style of the author before I take it on. It's sort of an insurance for me that I won't be wasting my time on a book that I won't like or not for me. For books that I buy, I base it on the reviews, the more great reviews the better. If it's a 5 star book but only has 10 or 15 reviews, I'm doubtful.ReplyDelete
Great topic! Thanks for opening this convo. Happy Thanksgiving!
I always read the "Click here to Look Inside" option on Amazon before deciding whether to buy a book or not. I don't like to download samples to my Kindle, because I hate having partial books on my account. It's a pet peeve.ReplyDelete
A great post on something I have wondered a few times on myself. I have had a few readers tell me they've purchased based on the content, but I don't think they'll even get there without Amazon's recommendation or a friend's recommendation. Fundamentally readers buy books for two key reasons, they know the author's writing or a trusted person has recommended it. In that way the best way to sell books is to focus energy on writing well.
I always read the sample first. Its the only way of checking the standard of an indie authors writing. Although there is some fab indie stuff out there you have to wade through a lot of dross first. The reviews cant be trusted. They are too subjective and one mans meat is another mans poison...you can only judge for yourself. I do agree though that stats on the number of samples read or downloaded should be available on Amazon. They already are on Smashwords.ReplyDelete
Thanks for taking the time to reply everyone. It's good to hear that some people do read the sample chapters or "Look Inside" on Amazon. I'm about to try out Smashwords. I've heard a few people say that their stats are superior to Amazon's (not that that would be too hard!).ReplyDelete

A former UAE resident was recently shot dead in a petrol station robbery in the United States. The man who shot Neil Kumar has finally been arrested and charged with murder and robbery.
Leon Terrell Flowers, 23, has been "charged with capital murder during the commission of a first-degree robbery," said Pike County Sheriff Russell Thomas, according to WSFA.
Kumar, a 30-year-old Indian national, grew up in the city of Sharjah in the UAE. He was pursuing his master's degree in computer science at Troy University in the state of Alabama — where the shooting took place.
Last Wednesday, Kumar opened up the station early morning, where he had been working part-time. Shortly after 6 a.m., just four minutes after opening the station, a masked gunman, now identified Flowers, shot him at point-blank range before robbing cash from the station's mini-market. The incident was captured on CCTV and showed just how fast the shooting took place.
The 23-year-old suspect was taken into custody on Saturday morning. On Monday night, police announced that Flowers had been arrested and charged.
It is not yet clear whether Flowers knew Kumar before the crime. However, the surveillance video of the incident indicates "he knew what time the store opened," Thomas said.
Flowers has four felony convictions. In 2015, he was charged with felony murder in the death of 19-year-old Mantrell Jordan. Flowers was not the actual murderer in the case. However, he pleaded guilty to manslaughter at the time.
"He served three years, in excess of three years day-for-day," the DA said, according to WSFA.
"And then had the balance of 15 years, which would be 12, hanging over his head while he was released on probation. But he did this during that time on probation and was only out a few months."
"In my opinion, he shouldn't have been out to begin with," the DA added.
