In his pale gray waistcoat, charcoal corduroys, and crisp white dress shirt buttoned to the neck, a burgundy ribbon tied around the collar, Amadeus Guchhait looks like he's from another era.
So does his art. Guchhait, a junior at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore and an Ellicott City native, has spent the semester creating a collection of clothing that unites disparate time periods and cultures as a commentary on western notions of identity and cultural appropriation.
Guchhait will present his work in two upcoming fashion shows organized by MICA this spring.
XIX, an experimental, multimedia collaborative event, where fashion mingles with puppetry and other performance on the runway, will be held on April 5.
And Unmarked, scheduled for April 12, is a benefit show for the school's Office of Diversity & Intercultural Development that encourages designers to let loose and use unconventional garments, fabrics and colors to express their artistic identity.
Guchhait's designs span centuries of fashion and cultures thousands of miles apart. He can reference, in one outfit, the exaggerated frills of pre-Revolutionary France and the warrior's practicality of a Japanese samurai's linen bottoms, called hakama.
A bright green scarf with an Asian-inspired peacock pattern pops against an oversize burgundy wool schoolboy jacket, and a tunic in a demure gray, tucked into black jodhpur shorts, is made dramatic with a lacy collar and black ribbon tie.
All combinations find their anchor in a Don Draper-esque pairing of knee-high black socks and brown leather oxfords.
Guchhait's collection doesn't just mix culture and history on a whimsy. It's meant to shine a light on cultural appropriation – as "both a modern phenomenon and [one that] goes back centuries" – and to raise questions about the ways in which identity is conveyed through dress.
"My line is really based around challenging notions of identity that we have in western society," Guchhait said of his collection. "So, basically, what's an acceptable form of expression when it comes to identity?"
The pieces draw inspiration not just from history, but from Guchhait's own roots.
"I'm half Indian and half white, so [there is] that weird culture blend, but also challenges between [cultures]," Guchhait said. "They don't always mesh well."
And his designs blur gender lines, as well. While Guchhait's clothes mostly reference traditionally male styles, some of the ruffles and lace are now read as feminine. His hakama pants have been cut into shorts, which closely resemble skirts due to the bulk of the material, and can be worn by male or female models.
"By putting the same clothes on men and women [questions are raised about] what we perceive as differences, and are they really there?" he said. "How does it read to different people? And what's wrong with having everyone be able to dress how they want and express themselves how they want?
"I'm transgender so there's a big gender component," to the clothes, Guchhait added. "I made one line that's both for men and women, so it's not feminine but not masculine either. It's kind of both in different ways… And it's my style, too."
It's a style that Guchhait says has some problematic roots – jodhpurs, for example, were adopted by British colonists in India, and there were no more samurais to wear hakama pants by the end of the 19th century, as western influences shaped Japanese society.
His hope is to use historical examples "to sort of reference what I see as the more problem-tinged aspects of them," he said. "So I use the subject to subvert itself."
But, he said, that doesn't make his clothing devoid of beauty.
"Even though they do have this whole background of problematic things behind them, they're all styles I myself would wear, and feel a little guilty maybe for wearing them, and enjoying it so much," he said. "But I made them to be beautiful because I feel that there's a lot of interesting, less than perfect things hiding beneath the things we consider to be beautiful, and I think that's part of what makes beauty interesting sometimes."
Guchhait, 21, has found ample beauty and history growing up in old Ellicott City, which he said has been an inspiration for him and his art.

A 28-year-old Nacogdoches man allegedly hid in a
shed near his home on County Road 302 when deputies showed up to serve to
felony warrants on him. He was quickly located and arrested on four felony
When the Nacogdoches County Sheriff's deputies searched
the property, they allegedly found methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia,
weapons, and a stolen four-wheeler. Quentin Bell is still being held in the Nacogdoches
County Jail on four state-jail felony charges - two counts of criminal
non-support, theft between $1,500 and $20,000, and possession of a controlled
substance less than one gram. He was also charged with aggravated assault with
a deadly weapon, which is a third-degree felony.
Collectively, Bell's bonds have been set at $84,500.
The NCSO has had an ongoing investigation of Bell in
regard to distribution and delivery of meth in Nacogdoches County, a press
release stated. When the deputies obtained permission to search the home, they
found less than one gram of meth, drug paraphernalia, and weapons.
The four-wheeler had been stolen from another
location in Nacogdoches County about a month ago, according to the press
release. The ATV caught the deputies' attention when they realized that it had
been recently repainted, and they were able to identify its owner from a
previous theft report.
Bell's assault and criminal non-support charges
stemmed from outstanding arrest warrants.

The New York Virtuoso Singers
The Carnegie Hall performance on December 21 of Haydn's Creation by The New York Virtuoso Singers and The Orchestra of St. Luke's led by Harold Rosenbaum was more than marvelous. It was a lovely gift from music makers to music listeners, an affirmation of optimism and hope, a declaration of creation's fundamental goodness and beauty.
The soprano originally scheduled to sing in this performance was ill. In her place were two sopranos, Katherine Wessinger, singing the part of the angel Gabriel, and Marie Mascari, singing the part of Eve.
Whatever might have been the audience's expectations for the absent singer, listeners were appropriately delighted by Wessinger's and Mascari's performances.
Haydn's Creation is, in its very nature, an exhilarating work. Its libretto – a pastiche of Biblical texts and passages of Milton's Paradise Lost, translated from English to German and then back, by backward indirection, into English – has some passages that sound childlike and naďve (and somewhat goofy). But the music itself is extraordinary. Haydn's Creation is the product of a great composer's maturity; its meaning centers not on transient giddiness but on enduring joy.
The first two sections of Haydn's Creation tell the story of creation according to Genesis. Three angels, Gabriel, Uriel and Raphael – the most important archangels of the Hebrew Testament – tell the creation story as the chorus supplies context and response.
Katherine Wessinger, as Gabriel, sang with exuberance that managed to be both delicate and hardy. Her voice was lyrical and supple; she radiated loveliness. Her aria about larks, doves and nightingales was a marvel.
Both tenor Benjamin Butterfield and baritone Nathan Berg sang with authority: they relished the narrative and, each in their own style, told the creation story with a sense of pride at being the bearers of so inconceivably remarkable a tale as God's creation.
Butterfield's Uriel was a narrator who relayed his astonishing account with drama and panache.
Berg, singing the Raphael role, brought a sense of grandeur to his presentation of the creation story. Although the libretto text was often awkward, Berg conveyed a feeling of awe about even the lowest and least glamorous of God's creatures. When he sang, "In long dimensions creeps with sinuous trace the worm," he compelled the audience to ponder with appropriate appreciation the accomplishments and full dignity of invertebrate, segmented annelids.
The third part of Haydn's Creation focuses on Adam and Eve, their relationship, mutual love and shared love of God. The libretto presents their union as the divinely instituted exemplar of marital bliss.
In fact, the prelapsarian purity of this first human marriage is entirely implausible. But Berg's Adam and Mascari's Eve, in spite of the idealistic text, were an intensely human and adoring couple. They made their complex duets seem effortless. They sang to each other ostensibly unaware of the audience's presence in their intimate, limitless love but, as artists, inviting us to participate in their happiness by witnessing it.
Berg made himself into an earthy, burly Adam. Using her lovely voice, at once sensuous and crystal-clear, Mascari created an Eve who was open-hearted and flirtatious, a young woman filled with gratitude for both God and her God-given husband. Berg and Mascari were the sort of deliriously happy honeymoon couple whom we've all occasionally seen and described as 'walking on air' and 'dancing on cloud nine.'
In this concert, chorus, orchestra and soloists captured superbly the first element of the Creation's genius. Haydn's music, beginning with the ominous, dark apparent disorder of the opening and ending with an expression of joy so passionate that we can feel it in our own bones, makes the divine story of creation accessible to our human sensibilities.
Some elements of the work's musical vocabulary were rooted in long established traditions. Dramatic dynamic contrasts in sacred and secular works alike had always been used to examine such opposites as might and meekness, wrath and tenderness. But Haydn deployed them with new techniques to portray creation itself. Centuries-old folk songs about the coo-coo-cooing of doves anticipate Haydn's birds, but his musical aviary is more diverse and exotic than the medieval ones were. Haydn's creative bestiary anticipates Saint-Saens' Carnival of the Animals and Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf.
The second element of the Creation's genius lies in its sheer musical and theological inventiveness. In this work, composed at the very end of Haydn's long career and foreshadowing what will become a familiar Romantic trope, the creation of this music mirrors God's own creation and the artists – composers and musicians – carry out their own endeavors in imitation of God's.
Rosenbaum's reading of Haydn's Creation together with all the musicians' ability to realize his understanding of the piece made this a splendid performance.
Presented by the Society for Sacred Music, this performance of Haydn's Creation was planned many months ago as an antidote to the gnarly anxieties about an apocalyptic end of the world prompted by a popular misreading of the Mayan calendar. According to the Society's mission statement, its purpose is "to foster the creation and performance of music that celebrates the unity and unconditional love of God, and the fundamental Brotherhood and Sisterhood we all share as the children of God."
Whether or not the December 21 audience members were worried about the dire Mayan predictions, all were shaken by the destruction of Sandy, the "perfect storm," and heart-sick at the terrible tragedy of Newtown, Connecticut. A performance of Haydn's Creation, no matter how marvelous, does not diminish the violence of destruction that we have seen this fall.
However, it does inspire us to repair the world by rediscovering our human capacity to invent good solutions to the problems we ourselves have created.

Home Care2011-08-22T20:25:19-05:00http://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc39891/

This technical memorandum is about problems arising out of success. Recent advances in medical technology have permitted sick children who once would have died to survive with the assistance of sophisticated equipment and intensive nursing care. Often, the assistance is needed for just a short time, but sometimes the dependence on life-sustaining technology is permanent. As technology for helping keep children alive has improved, a new population of technology-dependent children has emerged.
Elementary and Secondary Education for Science and Engineering2011-08-22T20:25:19-05:00http://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc39906/

Students make many choices over a long period, and choose a career through a complicated process. This process includes formal instruction in mathematics and science, and the opportunity for informal education in museums, science centers, and recreational programs. The influence of family, teachers, peers, and the electronic media can make an enormous difference. This memorandum analyzes these influences. Because education is "all one system, " policymakers interested in nurturing scientists and engineers must address the educational environment as a totality; changing only one part of the system will not yield the desired result.
Reducing Launch Operation Costs: New Technologies and Practices2011-08-22T20:25:19-05:00http://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc39924/

This technical memorandum explains, the United States has spent relatively little effort in applying them to operations. Just as important as cost saving technologies are appropriate management methods, or strategies, to put these technologies to work. In some cases, OTA has found, cost savings could be achieved by streamlining operations and reducing the burden of documentation and reporting requirements that have slowly expanded over the years.
Commercial newsgathering from space2011-08-22T20:25:19-05:00http://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc39874/

This technical memorandum concludes that although the technology is available to create a mediasat system, the high cost and current low demand for remotely sensed data will limit media efforts to own and operate a dedicated remote sensing satellite system.
The Regulatory environment for science2011-08-20T21:15:27-05:00http://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc39622/

This technical memorandum, requested by the Task Force on Science Policy of the House Committee on Science and Technology, provides a "snapshot" of factors affecting science in the 1980s, and focuses on emerging issues that will require consideration by Congress.
Research funding as an investment: can we measure the returns?2011-08-20T21:15:27-05:00http://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc39623/

A report on the mounting intensity of global competition in the 1980s that underscores the critical role played by the basic research enterprise of the United States. Basic research is the backbone of much of the technological development that has provided not only our economic prosperity, but improvements in health, a strong national defense, and exciting and fundamental advances in knowledge.
A Review of U.S. competitiveness in agricultural trade2011-08-20T21:15:27-05:00http://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc39624/

This OTA technical memorandum reviews key factors that influence U.S. trade in agriculture. It is part of a larger OTA project that analyzes the effects of technological change on both international trade and the structure of the domestic economy. Despite basic structural changes in the economy of the United States in recent years, agriculture and food production remain important parts of this country's economic framework.
Marine Applications for Fuel Cell Technology2011-08-20T21:15:27-05:00http://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc39613/

A report on fuel cell technology is one of the most promising of the new electric power technologies currently undergoing development. Fuel cell power systems have attracted attention because of their potential for high efficiency, low emissions, flexible use of fuels, and quietness. The Federal Government and the private sector have been funding fuel cell R&D for more than 20 years. The state-of-the-art has advanced to the point that fuel cell manufacturers hope to begin marketing fuel cells in just a few years. Full-scale demonstration plants are currently being designed.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Madison Gas and Electric has been ordered to refund $6.7 million that was overcharged to customers last year.
The state Public Service Commission voted Thursday to make the utility give the money back now.
Madison Gas and Electric asked for permission to keep the overpayments, and apply them to higher costs the utility is expecting next year. The regulators said no to that.
As a result, the company says it will pay 3.7 percent more for its operations and employee pensions next year, instead of its earlier projection of 2.6 percent.

A picture of the Brooke Hogan wardrobe malfunction during the Impact Wrestling segment where she got married to Bully Ray.
The screen went blank temporarily during Monday Night Raw this week, as WWE quickly covered up a wardrobe malfunction that Aksana had during the big divas tag team match.
Since WWE may receive heat for the incident, Brie Bella issued a public apology for her wardrobe malfunction, where her nipple was exposed.
WWE has quietly released Judas Devlin, a developmental wrestler who was supposed to have been called up to the main roster to join Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan in the Wyatt Family stable. He has been removed from the official roster page for WWE NXT.
There were some serious speculations recently that Judas Devlin was going to be brought up by WWE from developmental to join the Wyatt Family, but a serious injury, one that might end his career, has forced a change of plans.

DENISON, TX -- For those of you who still haven't bought your Halloween pumpkins, a local Denison pumpkin patch wants to let you know there's plenty of selection this year.
Although a drought has plagued most of the state this year, spring rains kept the pumpkin crop thriving. Elves Christmas Tree Farm and Pumpkin Patch in Denison says they have pumpkins from a few ounces all the way up to 110 pounds. Owner, Marshall Cathey, says the crop is as good as ever.
"Texas did pretty well. We got some rain in the early spring and on into the summer when the planting was going on, so Texas was able to hold on a lot better than the Midwest. So this year the pumpkin patch and pumpkin crops look really good in Texas," says Cathey.
Cathey says prices haven't fluctuated either. You can pick up your pumpkin for decoration or cooking at Elves Pumpkin Patch. Hours are Saturday 10:00 am to 5:00 pm and Sundays 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm.

I doubled the recipe for a recent dinner and probably shouldn't have doubled the chilis. It was realllllly spicy. Too spicy. I have found if you make in advance and then refrigerate, they do actually hold up on the outdoor grill (over a piece of foil). But I'm just not sure it's worth all of the preparation.
Chipotle Salmon Burgers
Photo: Becky Luigart-Stayner; Styling: Jan Gautro
Shape the patties up to eight hours in advance, and cook just before serving. Use a grill pan or nonstick skillet to cook them since they may not hold up on a standard grill. If you have a mini food processor, use it to prepare the mayonnaise mixture. You can use regular hamburger buns instead of English muffins.

Re: Off Topic....Anything Goes vol4
I must really annoy my RL friends on twitter when I'm live commentating on a match
i've definitely lost followers during Masha's IW final because of my obsessive fangirling haha. But then I've gained great friends on twitter - and I realised the fact that I speak about tennis alot rather than about waking up and eating toast really bodes with the interaction I have with the vast majority of my followers who are all from this forum.
I probably interact more with you guys on that platform than I do with my RL friends on facebook. because I rarely use facebook, and I actually go out of my house and physically see my friends rather than stay in my room behind a laptop all day

Here we go with the speculation about changes Barack Obama could make to enhance his chances of re-election. One of those proposed changes is making Hillary Clinton his running mate. Richard Benedetto makes the case at Real Clear Politics:
Clinton would add some much-needed pizazz to a tough campaign that [Joe] Biden does not. More importantly, she would shore up a shaky Democratic base, a huge part of which consists of disappointed women who still believe the secretary of state should have been president and would have done a better job than Obama.
Biden, who ran for president himself in 2008, was picked for vice president largely to make up for the foreign policy experience that Obama lacked. After all, he had been chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. But Clinton, after three years of solid performance as secretary of state, more than matches that, making Biden expendable.
It is Clinton's voice, not Biden's, that we hear when the administration speaks out on

Another poem from my Jackson Pollock sequence, in memory of both Pollock and Frank O'Hara. O'Hara wrote the first important monograph on Pollock's work, calling him 'an artist who was totally conscious of risk, defeat and triumph. He lived the first, defied the second, and achieved the last.'
O'Hara's poem, 'Digression on Number 1, 1948' was one of his famous 'Lunch Poems' sequence, written quickly, in the grip of the inspiration of that moment. He said of the painting that it 'has an ecstatic, irritable, demanding force, an incredible speed and nervous legibility in its draftsmanship', which could serve as a description for O'Hara's poetic style (so often reduced to "I do this, I do that", missing the point that all activity invites revelation). The poem ends with these lines:
There is the Pollock, white, harm
will not fall, his perfect hand
and the many short voyages. They'll
never fence the silver range.
Stars are out and there is sea
enough beneath the glistening earth
to bear me toward the future
which is not so dark. I see.
The lines are eerily prescient, in the evocation of the 'short journeys' which were to be their lives; and that strange image of the 'sea / … beneath the glistening earth' bearing the poet towards 'the future / which is not so dark'. When O'Hara wrote the poem, Pollock was already dead. O'Hara would die almost exactly ten years after Pollock. Both men were in their 40s at the time of their deaths, in accidents. They are both buried in Green River Cemetery in Springs, Long Island.
When O'Hara died, Pollock's widow, Lee Krasner, was quoted as saying 'Frank's buried at Jack's feet.'
Short Voyages
for Jackson and Frank
To digress
is to be alive and know a mind
at work, a body in motion,
the blare of the city, in all its
No accidents,
only cause and effect, the future
which is not so dark but which
we cannot stop, speeding forward,
destiny at the wheel.
everything is lucid, shining,
like children in the rain
or a lover, naked, and they
have to get it down,
to this age of flags and fear
where art might have a place,
sometimes right here on the street
or in a bar
where men
argue the world into being
and drink to forget
tomorrow we might be gone.

Little by little, teaser photo by teaser photo, the 2011 Ford Explorer is being unraveled right before our very eyes. Now, if only Ford can spare us with these images and just unveil the SUV already.
Of course, Ford most likely won't listen to our cries for unveiling the new Explorer so we guess we're just going to have to settle for what they show us. That being said, these here are a number of new teaser photos of the new 2011 Ford Explorer SUV, most of which, as we can expect, didn't really show a whole lot of the Explorer. Yeah, what else is new, right?
For description's sake, this new photo shows us the vehicle's front quarter panel with a matching head light assembly. That's about what we have from this new image, but Ford, apparently, has a few more images in store for us – two more action photos of the Explorer in its environmental surroundings.
Again, it's not much. But the good news is, we shouldn't be able to wait too long for the Explorer's official unveiling later this year, at which time these less-than-appealing teaser photos should come to a merciful end. We sure hope Ford knows what they are doing and the new Explorer is worth all of this endless teasing.

A fire marshal said a mobile home fire in the Lowcountry is being called suspicious.
Investigators said that evidence found near the home on May River Road in Bluffton lead them to that conclusion. The fire marshal said people living there just moved out two days ago.
The fire was small and easy to control. Police and the fire marshal continue to investigate.

Here's an interesting TPI post from August 2007: "I have posted this before. I am unwavered in my opinion. I would shut down the Grand Prix Raceway at the Magic Kingdom and I would build a themed "spray-ground" --- an elaborate playground with wet and dry areas. It backs up to Fantasyland so it can be themed as an ENCHANTED FORREST (Snow White, Robin Hood, beauty and the Beast). Water effects (like Universal has at Kids Zone) playground sections (slides, tunnels, rope ladders)."
WDI and THC ... great minds think alike. :o)
The Build Out of Pop Century has been rumored for sometime now. I'm 99% sure that an Orlando GC named Hardin Construction holds the contract. The build out makes sense as Disney can "buy hard" forcing subcontractors in a lean market to offer the lowest possible bid price. Expect subs to actually bid below their costs (referred to as "buying work") just to keep the cash flow in their companies.
I was surprised Mr. Dodger did not confirm renovations at Port Orleans and Dixie Landings.
Personally, I would have liked to have seen Roger Rabbit's toon spin brought to the MK, but with the Fab 5 theming!
Published Last Month:
NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. (WUSA/USA TODAY) -- Disney plans to build a 500-room hotel resort on 15 acres at the ambitious National Harbor development about eight miles south of DC in Maryland, according to the Washington Post.
The hotel would be another anchor for National Harbor, which includes a 2,000-room Gaylord National convention center, a Westin, an Aloft and other hotels, shops, restaurants and residential units, the story says. The development also has a full-service marina on the Potomac River, where you can catch a water taxi to Old Town Alexandria.
In a press release, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman Jay Rasulo praised the National Harbor location as "a family-friendly base camp, from which visitors from around the world can explore the stirring sights and inspirational stories of our nation's capital."
1) We've already gotten word that a new Star Tours film is in production. The 3D element and multiple story paths are new, but perfectly logical, given trends in the industry. Re-ride-ability is key.
2) This sounds to me like an expanded version of Disneyland's Pixie Hollow mega-meet-'n-greet. There's space to do this without evicting Mickey and Minnie, too. Adding a stage show and a birthday pavilion to the area makes sense from a marketing standpoint. We'll see what makes it through the planning process.
3) I have no doubt that Imagineering has been asked to work up plans for bringing Little Mermaid to the old Sub lagoon site at WDW. Again, though, let's remember that there's two levels of approving a project at Disney - the first is approving Imagineering to design the thing. The second is approving those designs and beginning construction. The gap between the first and second can take years, due to budgets, marketing and prioritizing within the company. And many projects never make it to the second phase.
I'm hearing hear that WDW Little Mermaid has cleared stage one. I'm not hearing that it has cleared stage two. But if WDW wants this, it will have it.
4) This has been well reported and confirmed. Though many folks are still scratching their heads. China's got to be paying a big licensing fee here.
5) Again, this has been well reported and confirmed. The devil's in the details, though. Will it be done a floor or a tower at a time, or all at once? I've heard many conflicting reports, which suggests to me that Disney's not made a firm decision yet.
6) Haven't heard this before, but my radar for Europe is weak. (Something I really must improve, and I apologize to our European readers for that.) Again, it makes sense for DLP and as far as bringing it to WDW's DHS, I would do that in a heartbeat if I were in charge. Toy Story's a much more valuable long-term commodity than the played-out and forgotten HISTK. Especially if DLP foots the initial costs.
7) TH Creative posted the confirmation of this hotel. Again, the water park is new, but Disney's been pushing for some time the idea of regional resort hotels with adjacent attractions. Water parks are easier and cheaper to develop than theme park attractions, as TH's reminded us in the past. Remember, Disney's pushing DVC and needs high-quality resort hotels in other tourist destinations to make DVC a more compelling sale to potential customers.
8) Previously reported and confirmed.
9) Ditto.
10) I'm blind to the cruise stuff, too, as that's not my area of interest at all. (I don't like boats unless I'm at the wheel!) But it all sounds very cool, and not that expensive to implement. I'm sure folks who are into Disney cruises will like it.
11) Um... with its attendance, isn't Hong Kong Disneyland cursed enough already? (KIdding! Had to wrap up with some snark.)
Thanks again, Roger!
In my e-mail in box this morning from Disneyland:
Beginning in August 2009, Southern California's landmark Disneyland Hotel will start a significant renovation project that will include major improvements to its guest rooms and considerable changes to the exterior of the hotel. The hotel will remain open during the renovation, which will be conducted in phases, and is scheduled to be completed in 2012.
"We are excited to embark on the largest and most extensive renovation of one of Disney's classic hotels," said Disneyland Resort President Ed Grier. "This renovation provides us with the opportunity to bring new magic to this historic hotel, which enables us to enhance the Disney experience that our guests have come to expect. "It also reinforces our ongoing commitment and investment in the Anaheim Resort District – working with the city and area businesses to continue to evolve the District into a world-class, multiday tourist destination," added Grier.
Significant Guest Room Upgrades, New Room Amenities and Exterior Enhancements
Disneyland Hotel's renovated guest rooms will feature an all-new contemporary look with exquisite Disney touches woven into the décor. A stunning new headboard that features an artistically carved representation of Disneyland Park's famous Sleeping Beauty Castle will serve as the focal point in each guest room. The background on the headboard uses fiber optics to create a magical skyline with fireworks – bringing the immersive park experience into the room. Rooms also will feature black and white art that will take guests back in time, reinforcing the nostalgia and history of Walt's first theme park.
When completed, guest rooms will boast new flat screen TVs, mini-refrigerators, coffeemakers, safes capable of holding laptop computers and new state-of-the-art telephone, cable and wireless Internet connections. Upgrades to plumbing, electrical and heating and air conditioning systems also are included in the project.
Disneyland Resort's original hotel, built in 1955, also will experience a noteworthy change to its exterior. All of the three towers will feature an updated look, with large windows that will give the outside a sleek, radiant blue tint. The windows will replace the current sliding doors and faux balcony railings and are specially designed to be energy efficient and to extensively filter outside noise.
"The new design for the hotel's exterior will enhance the existing towers and compliment the Resort as a whole. The windows will feature a sky blue reflective glass that channels the feel of our bright California sky," said Mike Montague, director of resort development for Walt Disney Imagineering.
The Disneyland Hotel is composed of three main structures – the Magic, Wonder and Dreams towers. Construction will take place in one vertical half of a tower at a time – leaving the rest of the tower open for guests. The Dreams tower will be the first to be renovated and is scheduled to be completed in June 2010.
As far as the Fantasyland expansion goes, it sounds awful. The previous rumors spoke of a new Snow White coaster and stuff for the whole family. This sounds like more of a extension of the Pooh's Playful Spot and Ariel's Grotto. I pray this is not the direction that WDI and management are going with the new Fantasyland.
Word on the Web is that Disneyland is driving the Star Tours update, with WDW along for the ride (so to speak). So DL might get first.
I Respond: Now THAT would be GREAT NEWS! Originally the rumor mill had the new Star Tours only slated for DL. It would be FANTASTIC if it ended up here in Orlando.
And I think it is great strategy to get fans on the Web fired up about future developments in the Walt Disney Company. There's no better way to thank attraction designers than with enthusiasm!
(Same advice goes for designers at other firms, too.)
When I worked for Disneyland in Security we got these updates all the time. We used to be able to sign up for tours of WDI and the Studios. It was later cut back to the Studios only and now I am not sure if they even offer that. While on the WDI tours we saw a full mock up of the Mermaid dark ride and it was fantastic.
The rumor mills at the parks are also very active. In fact some castmembers get their jollies by starting rumors. Rumors like the basketball court in the Matterhorn drive me nuts. I've thrown a few baskets myself and its not a court. Its a backboard with a hoop mounted on a post and that's bout it. The mountain climbers put it their years ago to kill time between climbs. It's on the "5th" floor were the climbers hang out.
I actually believe everything as stated. With that said, what actually becomes a reality is something else. All good companies have 5, 10, 15 year and so on plans and routinely discuss them with their employees. Sometimes simply to flush out ideas with new people.
The completion of the Pop needs to get done. At some point if they do not finish it, it could cost them more and more as the property is not maintained. I am in the architecture / construction field now and I have seen abandoned project tore down because it was going to cost to much to finish and many new contractors do not want the liability for the old work. It can be a contractual nightmare to get all that straighten out.
I am with those who think the Enchanted Forest sounds lame and targeted at a small portion of the daily attendance. There is room for a large expansion behind Small World extending eastward to Town Town that has never been developed. I have seen interviews with Dick Nunis when he talked about future expansions in this area that seems to be off the table for now.
I'll give you an idea of what I have heard over the years at these meetings and never got built at Disneyland:
* Disney's America
* Hollywoodland (behind Main Street USA at DL between the old Egg House and the Opera House. It was to feature a Roger Rabbit and Great Movie Ride if I recall correctly)
* Little Mermaid Dark Ride at DL (I saw the mock up around the mid to late 90's)
* Rehab for Tiki Room at WDW that WAS NOT Under New Management and a better concept.
* A bigger and better Indiana Jones than was built.
etc etc etc.
I still enjoy the update because it gives us a look at what Disney is thinking about.
Anyway, back to Star Tours...the rumoured "random beginning/middle/end" idea is a variation of something I thought of years ago, as I'm sure many of you have as well. The dawn of the CGI age makes ANYTHING possible. Actually I was often hoping that Universal would retain the Back to the Future ride, and only do a much needed CGI upgrade to the film itself. The ride vehicles were perfectly themed! I'll have to see this year if the Simpson's ride is as good or better.
Has anyone heard about the rumoured Soarin' over America update to the WDW version to replace the Over California one now playing? Last I heard they were filming with IMAX already over Florida.

Thirty years after Olympics, Sarajevo mourns brotherhood lost
The partialy rebuilt winners podium of Sarajevo's abandoned ski jumping venue at Mt. Igman near Sarajevo on February 5, 2014 - by Elvis Barukcic
"I was so excited that I could not utter a single sentence" speaking by phone from Athens where the International Olympic Committee session was held on May 18, 1978, recalls Nikola Bilic, the radio station's special envoy to the meeting.
Against all odds, Sarajevo, then the capital of Bosnia, one of six republics that made up the communist Yugoslav federation, won over its rivals, Japan's Sapporo and Sweden's Gothenburg.
Bilic, a veteran Bosnian journalist, said the town and its mountainous surroundings soon became a major construction site, rather like Sochi, the Russian venue of the 2014 Olympics which open on Friday.
"A new stadium, ice skating and hockey ring, ski runs and bobsled slopes, ski-jumps in the mountains, everything was finished in two years," Bilic told AFP.
But all the infrastructure was demolished during the bloody inter-ethnic war that broke out in 1992, so implausible only eight years before, as most of the trails were on the frontlines.
Eighteen years after the conflict, there is a layout of a trench along the bobsled track on the Trebevic mountain overseeing Sarajevo, where Bosnian Serb forces held the capital in siege for more than 44 months.
Now forgotten, the concrete-strengthened track, still pierced here and there by rockets and grenades, crawls through a marvellous thick pine forest.
Sarajevo "breathed as one soul"
It is almost impossible to imagine the fervour in February 1984 in a city that "breathed as a one soul."
"The city was ablaze, everyone was happy. On the street, strangers lingered to discuss 'Olimpijada' (Olympics), everyone had an idea on how things should be done," said Drago Bozja, at the time chief of the mountain emergency services.
In the other five Yugoslav republics, "they thought we would not be able to host the Games," Bozja said, but it was a feeling shared by many in Bosnia.
"When the mayor called me at home to ask me to join the organising team, I told him that I knew nothing about the sport.
"He answered: 'Me neither, but we will learn,'" said Bozja.
But weeks before the opening, there was not a single snow flake on the slopes around Sarajevo.
"At the official opening of the Olympics at the Kosevo stadium, there was still no snow and the organisers covered the ground with white canvas," remembered Bilic.
But when Croatian skater Sanda Dubravcic climbed the stairs to light the Olympic flame, the first snowflakes fell.
"Like in a fairy tale," Bilic said with a hint of melancholy.
For copper craftsman Ismet Huseinovic, "there has never been and will never be such an event in Sarajevo."
"We defended the honour of Sarajevo, but also of the former Yugoslavia," Huseinovic said.
All the nations -- Bosnians, Serbs, Croats, Macedonians, Slovenians and Montenegrins, as well as about a dozen national minorities living in the communist Yugoslavia -- "were all together," he said
"We all wanted it (the Olympics) to be a success," said Huseinovic.
"We were ordered to keep our shops open around the clock," said the artisan who had made more than 50,000 souvenirs, including the figure of the Sarajevo Olympics' mascot Vucko (Little Wolf).
The Winter Games in Sarajevo were "the last great project of Yugoslavia as a 'brotherhood of nations'," said Tomislav Lopatic, four-time Yugoslav champion in biathlon.
"Everyone lived for the games, prepared and organised with an open heart. All the nationalities living in Yugoslavia took part," said Lopatic, himself a participant.
"Yet a year or two later, they headed to a disaster," added Lopatic, a Serb from Pale, near Sarajevo, a wartime Bosnian Serb stronghold.
Now he coaches the Bosnian national biathlon team, but the memories are still painful.
"The war destroyed my ambitions at the height of my career," he said, glancing at medals, trophies and photos in a small garage of his house.
The war in Bosnia left some 100,000 dead and displaced about two million people, almost half of the country's pre-war population.

I want to buy another dslr for my brother. I want to buy canon rebel xsi (EOS 450D) along with a zoom lens.
I've shorted out two lenses as below:
1. Canon EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens
2. Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 EX DG APO HSM Large Aperture Macro Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras
I've found that the price of second option is much higher than the first one. So if I decide to opt for the first one keeping in mind that the value of the lens then is it reasonable?
can any one help me out to chose the right option?
also I have a doubt that whether its better to chose sigma with a dslr body of canon or I should opt for tamron lenses.
thanks in advance...
I believe Sigma works well on Canon Somnath, and would be a faster, better quality lens than the Canon youve mentioned. However, if 70-200mm is whats being considered, and f/4 will work, then the Canon 70-200mm f/4 L is a terrific option.
The first Canon lens is likely to be more usable as a general purpose lens though for your brother, as it has decent wide to mid tele capabilities, and IS, - so a good all round starter.
Heres a link to a review of the Canon lens, - isnt very good
You could also consider the Canon 55-250 EF/s.
My wife and son both use one of these, and for the money they are excellent value.
If the range is important then I agree with banehawi, go for the 18-200.
Truth is, no matter what lens you buy him, if he gets even slightly hooked on photography it won't be long before he wants another lens (then another, then another.....).
Best of luck.

But that's the funny thing about destiny, it happens whether you plan it or not. I mean, I never thought I'd see that girl again, but it turns out I was just too close to the puzzle to see the picture that it was forming. Because that, kids, is the true story story of how I met your Aunt Robin.
