Remember when I was doing this list thing?
#4 – Detoonification
OK, let's get one thing crystal clear upfront: I know that this one is never, ever going to happen. I know it, you know it and the American people know it – no matter how much the parks would benefit and no matter how it would be true to Disney's legacy, they're never going to reverse the lamentable "toonification" trend of recent years. But they should.
When Michael Eisner came to Disney in 1984, there were no attractions based on animated characters in any of the Disney parks aside from those in Fantasyland. There had been attractions based on live action properties – the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse and Davy Crockett Canoes spring to mind – but the focus of the non-fantasy based lands was putting guests into real-life adventures from the past, present and future.
It's hard to believe that it's been twenty-five years since that day, but in that time the marketing people took over the shop and the focus of new attractions shifted from what best suited their surroundings to what was trendy at the time of construction. While the net total of attractions in Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom hasn't increased measurably in those years, the two domestic Disney parks are now home to:
- Tarzan, Iago, Zazu and Aladdin in Adventureland
- Shows based on Toy Story in Frontierland, as well as the placement of non-toon pirates on Disneyland's Tom Sawyer Island
- Winnie the Pooh in Disneyland's Critter Country
- Buzz Lightyear, Finding Nemo, Stitch (x2) and Monsters, Inc. in Tomorrowland
EPCOT Center, once home to only its original characters like Dreamfinder and Figment, now features Finding Nemo, The Lion King, The Three Caballeros, Kim Possible and, uh, Martin Short. What's worse is that in several of these instances – especially Nemo and Caballeros – the focus is solely on the characters and not the theme of the pavilion or attraction that they inhabit. What do you learn about the seas from Nemo, or about Mexico from Donald? The Circle of Life film, which is kind of goofy at times, at least manages to remain relevant to its purpose.
This points out how important execution is when attempting a character overlay. I really, really love the film The Three Caballeros and was initially excited about the concept of the Mexico refurbishment. But they managed to not really tell us about Mexico at all with the new attraction, and the ride captures none of the trippy, freewheeling feel of the film. It's just loud and short.
Back to the Magic Kingdoms, though. The innovative thing about Disneyland in 1955 was that it provided all those post-war suburban families with immersive adventures in heavily themed settings. The world was a lot smaller then than today, and a trip through the jungles of Adventureland introduced millions to new and exotic concepts, no matter how homogenized and idealized they actually were. Disney's attempts at futurism, both on his TV show and in Tomorrowland, made the Space Race accessible to the masses and helped guide a generation into a new technological era.
These adventures in fictionalized but realistic settings are what draw people to the parks to this day. The average American tourist might never travel to Africa, but they can get a taste of its aesthetic in Harambe. They might never go to Europe, and certainly something like the Germany pavilion is nothing like the actual modern country, but it at least provides a cultural touchstone for people that is outside of their everyday experience. Visiting EPCOT isn't a substitute for actually traveling abroad, but it's cheaper and it provides a nice jumping off point for a more informed worldview. How many guests have thought more about the actual Morocco after visiting EPCOT than they ever would otherwise?
There's nothing wrong with giving guests what they want, and I'm sure that they do want characters in some capacity. But isn't it more interesting and ambitious to give them something they don't even know to demand? I guarantee that if Disney had taken a million guest surveys in 1966, not a single guest would have thought to ask for Pirates of the Caribbean or the Haunted Mansion. Thank heavens Walt didn't need to do surveys to know a good idea.
Personally, I want to go to the Tiki Room to be whisked away to a fantastical Polynesian jungle, not to get screamed at by celebrity-voiced animated birds that have no connection to their surroundings. Things like that completely yank guests out of whatever illusion the themed environment attempts to create.
The Disney park roster is far more diverse these days than it was in 1984. The parks embrace a wide variety of environments and themes, which allow the Imagineers to create attractions outside those realms of Adventureland, Frontierland, Fantasyland and Tomorrowland. A park as thematically broad as the Hollywood Studios, for example, provides plenty of leeway for experimentation. And while Disney should, in fact, always push innovation, it doesn't mean that they should neglect the expansive yet specific mandates that Walt himself laid down for the cardinal realms of Disneyland:
Here is adventure, here is romance, here is mystery. Tropical rivers, flowing silently into the unknown, the unbelievable splendor of exotic flowers, the eerie sounds of the jungle, with eyes that are always watching… this is Adventureland.
Here we experience the story of our country's past… the colorful drama of frontier America in the exciting days of the covered wagon and the stage coach, the advent of the railroad and the romantic riverboat. Frontierland is a tribute to the faith, courage and ingenuity of the pioneers who blazed the trails across America.
Here is the world of imagination, hopes and dreams. In this timeless land of enchantment, the age of chivalry, magic, and make-believe are reborn, and fairy tales come true. Fantasyland is dedicated to the young at heart, to those who believe that when you wish upon a star, your dreams come true.
Tomorrowland… a vista into a world of wondrous ideas, signifying man's achievements… a step into the future with predictions of constructive things to come. Tomorrow offers new frontiers in science, adventure and ideals… the challenge of outer space, and the hope of a peaceful and unified world.
No burping cartoon aliens in there that I could find.

LAFAYETTE - A group of 22 architectural students from the UL Lafayette are working alongside JC Dugas' Construction Associates, Inc. to begin construction on a 1,508 square foot home in the heart of the Freetown-Port Rico neighborhood.
The name COURhouse comes from one of the prominent features of the home, a centralized open courtyard that will give future owners a sense of openness and spaciousness within the home, while still preserving privacy. The three-bedroom, two-bath floor plan is bathed in light by clearstory windows and a glass garage door that ushers the exterior courtyard into the interior of the kitchen.
Designed by UL Lafayette architectural graduates in the fall of 2012, the COUR house is the third home to be built as part of the School of Architecture and the Design's Building Institute's affordable, sustainable infill-housing program. The program aims to implement innovative, practical, and sustainable solutions in the design and construction of affordable housing in preexisting urban neighborhoods of Lafayette. The design/build program focuses on the education of the students, the construction industry, and the public.
The program was launched in 2011 with the design and construction of the EVENT House, located on Madison St. and continued last year with the construction of the NEXT house on 319 Jackson St. Adjacent to the NEXT house is the COUR house, located at 324 Jackston St. The home is currently priced at $190,000 and is listed with PAR Realty.

Not long after Callithumpian activities are completed in Decatur this year, a long-awaited project will begin: Demolishing the long-ignored building on the southwest corner of Second and Monroe streets downtown.
Fleming Excavating was recently awarded the contract for the project with its low bid of some $145,000.
"It's getting close," Mayor John Schultz said at last week's city council meeting, referring to the start of the project.
Janet K. McAlhaney, 63, of Monroe, passed away on Sunday, September 23, 2012, in the Extended Care Unit of Woodcrest.
She was born in Decatur on March 16, 1949, to the late Denver Jack and Bernice (Fennel) Gray.
On August 29, 1969, she married Leland McAlhaney; he survives in Monroe.
Janet was a member of The Bridge Community Church in Decatur and had retired from Woodcrest.
Rufine C. Neuenschwander, 92, of Berne, died Saturday in Adams Memorial Hosptial.
Among survivors are two sons, James A. (Louise) Neuenschwnder and Mark (Jeanene) Neuenschwander, both of Berne; daughers, Rebecca (William) Lehman, Kingman, Ind.; Susan (Frank) Lehman of Berne; Martha Jane (Larry) Uhrick of Wolcottville; and Sandra (Gene) Bradley of Evansville.
Robert "Bob" Brown, who currently lives in Decatur, and Edith "Edie" (Puff) Northup of Fort Wayne, met and fell in love 50 years ago, but they were just married last Saturday, September 15, in an outdoor ceremony at the Berne American Legion post.
The couple started dating after they met at work in 1961 when he was 21 and she was 19. They embarked on a whirlwind romance and planned on getting married until Northup's father convinced her otherwise. They were each other's first love.
Mary Jeanette Speece, 88, of Poneto, passed away at 10:24 a.m. on Friday, September 21, 2012, at her residence.
She was born in Wells County on March 11, 1924, to the late Benjamin Franklin "Frank" and Veda G. (Masterson) Conner.
On November 21, 1962, she married Kenneth G. Speece in Bluffton; he preceded her in death on November 29, 1973.
Adams County's unemployment rate fell to 7.3 percent during August, down from 7.9 percent in June and 7.6 in July, according to statistics released Friday by the Indiana Department of Workforce Development.
The county's jobless rate has remained below 8 percent for five consecutive months after starting the year at 8.5 percent. Three years ago, in August of 2009, Adams County experienced a jobless rate of 14.1 percent. One year ago that rate was 8.0 percent.
Several season and career best times were posted by Bellmont cross country runners in the New Haven Invitational held at the Plex in Fort Wayne.
Both BHS teams finished in the top half of the competition in their division with both the Braves and Squaws taking eighth out of 19 teams. Adams Central and South Adams also competed on the day in both boys and girls races.
WARSAW—Bellmont shook off a heart-breaking loss to Carroll on Saturday by going undefeated at the Warsaw Invitational earning the championship over Lafayette Jeff in two sets.
Going 4-0 on the day, coach Craig Krull's Squaws were on a mission to avenge their loss to arch-rival Carroll and the field at Warsaw happened to be simply casualties of war starting with Southwood in Bellmont's opener, followed by rematches with North Side and Bishop Luers, and finally a win over Jeff in the final game.

Call for urgent action to improve coverage of HIV services for injecting drug users
Feature story
Call for urgent action to improve coverage of HIV services for injecting drug users
10 March 2010
A review carried out by the 2009 Reference Group to the UN on HIV and Injecting Drug Use for the first time quantifies the scale of coverage of HIV prevention, treatment, and care services for injecting drug users (IDUs) worldwide. The study concludes that with, specific exceptions, worldwide coverage of these services in IDU populations is very low and unlikely to be sufficient to prevent, halt, or turn around HIV epidemics.
The paper, published by The Lancet in its online edition of 1 March 2010, also highlights the need for improved data collection on injecting drug users in each region in order to get a clearer picture of the extent of their needs. "We still do not know enough about the nature and size of the populations we need to target."
We know that a mix of actions directed to reducing the harms associated with drug use can reduce the number of new HIV infections among drug users to practically zero.
UNAIDS Executive Director Michel Sidibé
Already the gaps in services are apparent. In prevention, the study estimates that two needles per month were distributed per person who injects drugs. In the countries that estimate the number of condoms distributed to IDUs, an average of 12 condoms were distributed to each IDU per year.
These global averages hide even greater regional and national variations in services.
While nearly all countries in western and eastern Europe, central Asia, Australasia, and North America had needle and syringe programmes (NSPs), these services aren't present in nine of 25 countries in east, southeast, and south Asia where injecting drug use occurs. NSPs were also absent or unreported in 14 of the 16 countries in sub-Saharan Africa where injecting drug use occurs.
Opioid substitution therapy (OST) coverage also varied from 1% or less of IDUs in central Asia, Latin America, and sub-Saharan Africa, to very high levels of 61% in western Europe.
Access to services for all drug users
UNAIDS believes that drug users can be protected from becoming infected with HIV if comprehensive, evidence-informed and human-rights-based interventions are made accessible to all drug users.
"Effective harm reduction approaches include access to clean needles, opioid substitution therapy for opiate users, access to antiretroviral therapy and reducing sexual transmission of HIV from drug users to their sexual partners through condom promotion," said UNAIDS Executive Director Michel Sidibé. "But current coverage of these services is appallingly low."
The study was funded by the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), Australian National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre, University of New South Wales; and Australian National Health and Medical Research Council.

Learn more about the best way to get aviation solutions SMS safety software.
SMS Pro™ has been repeatedly called the best aviation solutions SMS safety software solution because of:
Contact firstname.lastname@example.com or call 907.227.1676 to get SMS Pro™
When civil aviation authorities visit operators, safety managers and top level executives become concerned. After all, their certificate (permission to operate) is at risk of being revoked when serious irregularities are found.
With ICAO pressure on governments to adopt and enforce formal safety management systems, the need for robust Web based Solutions SMS arose. Web technology has become relatively stable in most parts of the world during the past five years. This assurance in Web stability allowed the adoption of SMS solutions that are Web based.
SMS Pro™ was the first SMS solution on the market that followed the ICAO SMS requirements. Any Web solution for SMS had to do more than simply allow issues reporting or hazard reporting. The solution had to allow managers to access data securely regardless of whether they were in their home office or out flying and away for weeks at a time.
As solutions for SMS, the ability to send emails and have all relevant documentation reside in an integrated safety management system was ideal. When auditors call, the data is all in one location and very easy to access.
During the last video, we demonstrated SMS Pro™ as an integral, Web based, air safety management tool that affords considerable power to an airline or airport.

Posted Wednesday, August 29, 2012 --- 10:52 a.m.
ATLANTA (AP) -- Federal health officials are warning that kids with neurologic disorders face a high risk of death if they get the flu.
A study by scientists with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention looked at more than 300 influenza-related deaths in children during the 2009 H1N1 pandemic. It found 60 percent had an underlying condition, and two-thirds of those kids had a neurologic disorder such as cerebral palsy, intellectual disability, or epilepsy.
The CDC's Dr. Georgina Peacock, a pediatrician and coauthor of the study, says flu is especially dangerous for kids who have problems with "muscle function, lung function or difficulty coughing, swallowing or clearing fluids from their airways."
With this year's flu season about to begin, the CDC is joining the American Academy of Pediatrics, Families Fighting Flu and Family Voices to stress the importance of flu vaccine for these children who are most vulnerable to influenza.

It's taken about a year and a half to get the Dodge Caliber SRT-4 to market, but by September the newest and smallest SRT vehicle will be available for purchase. Chrysler's turbocharged 2.4-liter world engine will still boast a best-in-class 280 HP and 260 lb.-ft. of torque. All that power to the front wheels will be kept under control by an electronically-tuned brake lock differential that controls throttle, spark advance, and boost, while a Getrag six-speed manual transmission will round out the powertrain. To make sure the Caliber SRT-4 holds the same value quotient of the Neon SRT-4, Dodge is working hard to deliver a stripped-down model at just under $20,000.
When we heard that the Caliber would be FWD and have 300 HP, we were skeptical that such a light vehicle would be able to handle that much grunt being sent to the front wheels. 280 HP isn't a drastically lower number, but Dodge engineers are at least trying to keep the prodigious understeer in check. If Dodge can deliver a budget hot rod under $20,000 that boasts 280 useful horsepower and a road-holding suspension (plus those trick 19" SRT wheels), then the Mazdaspeed3 and VW R32 are going to be in for some stiff competition.

One thing the match did show was how appalling Qld is and how far they have fallen from the 'golden days'. They should be thankful there's not a 5th Australian province competing for their spot in the S14.
Still can't see the Brumbies being competitive even if they make the semis as no doubt they will play away if they do
It was a joy to watch…particularly after the nightmare of the week before. Queensland did look somewhat lost without Barnes, but was still a well played game by The Brumbies. If they keep that up (bonus point wins) for the next 2 rounds, then maybe…just maybe they'll make the finals. Still long odds though I suspect.
> Another disapointment as a reds supporter. I must admit I am becoming immune the the pain of constant losses.
It's been an interesting year for them…up & down like a yo-yo. I reckon it'll be a better season for The Reds next year…they have the basis of a good, young team & certainly know how to play some exciting Rugby.
vg said :
I love this bit about it always being the coach's fault. Last I checked he was in the coaches box and not the one on the field dropping the ball, missing tackles and making general errors on the field.
This is a bit rich given that it's less than a year since Laurie Fisher got boned because the Brumbies weren't performing.
Also, didn't your boys lose 56-7 a mere ten days ago? How many dropped balls, missed tackles and general errors in play contributed towards that sterling result?

High discomfort symptoms
Subjects who report a high level of discomfort symptoms while performing near work
Low discomfort symptoms
Subject who report low levels of discomfort while performing near work
Detailed Description:
This project studies accommodative function, the ability to focus while doing near work. Visual discomfort symptoms, such as headaches, sore eyes, and blurred vision are commonly associated with prolonged reading or other near work. Researchers have long suspected accommodative dysfunction was involved but most clinical studies have failed to establish a relationship between weak accommodation and symptoms or reading impairments. Recent research, however, has found that clinical measure overestimate accommodative function and encourage the use of objective, autorefraction methods to measure and study accommodative weakness. This project will accomplish three goals. First, using autorefraction objective reliable procedures will be developed for measuring accommodative lag, the difference between the target location and where the eye is focused. Second, experiments will measure in real-time the impact of accommodative lag on reading fluency and visual discomfort systems. Third, studies will explore the role of the slow adaptive component in accommodative weakness. This work will lead to better methods for diagnosing and treating accommodative disorders.

Greetings and welcome to The Deep column and the deepest radio show on Earth. The Deep is the science talk radio program that takes you from the depths of the ocean to the farthest reaches of the universe. This week on The Deep, aired at 6:00 this evening on K-57, we'll go diving with MDA. Then we'll have some expedition calls. This week we're going extreme with updates from both the Guam and international Extreme Teams. And maybe we'll hear from Bob Silver in the Mediterranean or Christine Boskoff on Mt. Everest. We'll also have some science news updates and we'll be taking your phone calls. Tune in tonight and join host Jim Sullivan, Pam Eastlick and our expedition coordinator Peter Melyan for the latest in scientific news! Then log on to www.thedeepradioshow.com for more information on all the latest and deepest news!
Our lovely
reefs have inspired many photographers like Chris Banks, Tim Rock
and Mitch Warner and attracted international stars like Wyland.
Guam is also a jumping-off point for the WWII wrecks in Chuuk
Lagoon, the beautiful Rock Islands of Palau and many other beautiful
dive sites.
There are also awesome raffles at Divers Night and the grand prize will be a full week of diving including airfare to Yap or Palau. You can also win a boat charter, a dive computer, gift certificates and much more. Divers Night is this Friday, 20 May at the Guam Hilton Hotel. Tickets are $7.00 per person and will NOT be sold at the door. Raffle tickets are $1.00 each and the more you buy the more chances you have to win. All proceeds from Divers Night go to the Guam Marine Awareness Foundation. Tickets are available at MDA. Call 472-6321 for more information.
We all know that there are many races on Guam. There are 3K runs or 5K runs most weekends. Then there are the marathons and the bike races and the kayak races and well, you get the idea. Then there's extreme racing.
If you are an extreme racer, you're part of a team of four and you don't just go running or kayaking. If you're an extreme racer, you start with running. Then you go trekking through deep jungles and open savannas. Then, so you don't get lost, you practice orienteering, that fine art of finding your way from Point A to Point B using a compass and a map.
Then, you
go mountain biking, but you're not just riding down the
road, you're biking on jeep trails, the beach and dodging
some of the squirreliest traffic in the world on Guam's
Who are the supermen and superwomen who compete in Extreme Racing? We'll meet some of them in-studio tonight on The Deep. You're not going to want to miss this one!
Say, have you heard the one about the fact that the US is planning to blow up a comet? Well, that's not exactly what's going to happen, but it's pretty close. This is just a brief heads-up about the Deep Impact space mission. Sometime prior to the 4th of July this year, the Deep Impact spacecraft will release a three-foot long 'impactor' directly into the path of Comet Tempel 1. Comet Tempel 1 is about the size of central Guam.
Then at 3:52 p.m. Guam time on the 4th of July, Comet Tempel will run over this small object at 23,000 mph. Since this is 10 times the average speed of a bullet, it will have a much larger effect and scientists are hoping that the impactor will blow a hole in the comet from the size of a large house to the size of a football stadium.
So why are we blowing up comets? Because we want to see what's inside. Comets are remnants of the early solar system and we hope to learn a lot from the crater that results. The Deep Impact mother ship will be about 300 miles away and keeping pace with the comet and taking pictures, when the impact occurs. Scientists will also observe Comet Tempel 1 with the Hubble Space Telescope, the orbiting X-ray telescope Chandra and Spitzer, our orbiting infrared telescope. Most ground-based observatories that can see the impact will also observe it.
Will you be able to see anything from Guam? Unfortunately, although we are on the side of Earth that will be turned toward the comet, it occurs during the day for us and it won't be bright enough for us to see. But there will definitely be some BIG fireworks for the 4th of July this year!
Whether we're learning about the beautiful ocean that surrounds us, the extremes that humans can withstand or taking a look inside a comet, The Deep, hosted by Jim Sullivan with Pam Eastlick and Peter Melyan is the place to be on K-57 tonight at 6:00 p.m. Don't miss it!

Is Intel Next to Get a Woman CEO?
The virtual ink was barely dry on the press release that announced Intel Corp. (Nasdaq: INTC) president and CEO Paul Otellini's plans to retire in May 2013, when a bevy of news stories popped up speculating about who his successor might be.
As surprising as the news was that Otellini was retiring early (he's 62 and could have stayed on another three years), there may be another surprise awaiting Intel shareholders. Two of the most commonly mentioned candidates to replace Otellini are women: Renée James, head of Intel's software business, and Diane Bryant, head of its datacenter and server business.
While still unlikely, the odds that a woman could be named CEO at Intel are much higher now than just a few years ago. This year's Fortune 500 listed 18 companies led by female CEOs, a record number and up from 12 in 2011. In the tech industry -- where women are seriously under-represented -- the last three years have seen females rise to the top spots at several major technology companies.
Ursula Burns was named CEO of Xerox Corp. (NYSE: XRX) in 2009 and became chairman in 2010. Although not new to the chief executive position, former eBay CEO and California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman became president and CEO of Hewlett-Packard Co. (NYSE: HPQ) in September 2011. At the beginning of 2012, Virginia M. "Ginni" Rometty was appointed president and CEO of IBM Corp. (NYSE: IBM). Just recently, on Oct. 1, she added the title of chairman of the board. Then there's Marissa Mayer, who jumped ship from Google and was named CEO and president of Yahoo Inc. (Nasdaq: YHOO) in July 2012.
That's an impressive list, but notice that none are semiconductor companies. The chip business has always seemed even more male-dominated than other parts of the tech industry. I don't recall many female executives or even chip designers at semiconductor companies, much less CEOs. Intel has had five CEOs in its 44-year history, and all of them have been men.
Intel said it would look both internally and externally for the next CEO, but going outside the company is considered unlikely. If the company stays with an insider, there are five main contenders, says Arik Hesseldahl in his blog at All Things Digital.
The following three were promoted to the level of executive vice president in the same press release that announced Otellini's retirement, which was interpreted as indicating they were top contenders:
The other two frequently mentioned internal candidates are:
Could Intel become the first semiconductor company to smash the glass ceiling? It would be refreshing to see the old boy network of the chip industry shaken up by a woman CEO. In fact, such male-dominated networks may have outlived their usefulness. Now that IBM and HP -- both major Intel customers -- are headed by women, the time may be right for a female CEO at Intel.
More Blogs from Tam Harbert
Lenovo, via acquisition and organic growth, has become one of the biggest players in the supply chain game.
While there are wildly differing predictions about how many "things" will be connected to the Internet, all of them say it will be an enormous number.
Intel's foundry profile is on the rise, but the question remains about where the chip maker really intends to go.
Today's US electronics manufacturing service providers are looking for greener pastures, which may leave computer and consumer electronics companys in a difficult position.
Avago and LSI have bloodlines reaching back to Fairchild Semiconductor, HP, and Bell Labs. Now they are combining resources.

The oldest Estee Lauder brand, Aramis, together with Ford Motors has announced launch of a new fragrance for men – Mustang.
The legendary American car brand has got its fragrance with Mustang logo on the bottle and outer box. This very masculine fragrance is at the same time very American – intense, wild, yet elegant like everything presented by Estee Lauder.
The fragrance opens with intense notes of lavender, ginger and lemon. The sharp freshness slides into the masculine heart notes composed of tobacco and cedar wood. The composition is rounded by notes of amber, juniper and patchouli. It presents the real American romantics: freedom and challenge of vast wild spaces, fast and strong car, and tobacco as an unavoidable symbol of one time whilom America.
The fragrance was created in 2007.
The nose behind this fragrance is Ilias Ermenidis.

The car is BEAST but certainly not this fragrance. The opening smells cheap but the dry-down smells ok. I like this fragrance in a cool spring late afternoon.
This is a very nice scent. Very "manly" to me. It does last and could go anywhere from the office to a party. Very "safe".
I could cry. Such ingrediants, such combination, smells great fresh out of the bottle. Immediate hit of being in the front of a classic 1950's or 1960's motor. Leather, wood, lemon, a touch of dads spice, mums lavender, and a fresh pack of Chesterfields just opened - a perfect picture.
The downside is that the scent is a one hit wonder, it really does lack depth. I do like the fragrance, it's good enough for a cheap cologne for a few pounds or dollars, certainly not for the RRP originally set against it.
I had a few reservations about buying a car fragrance. The idea seemed odd to me. But the price wasn't bad, so I figured what the heck.
Fairly common "woody spicy" fragrance that can be compared to a number of its contemporaries. The whole cedar-wood thing is becoming a tad overplayed.
On first spray the top notes are present but not overbearing, a bit citrusy with a hint of ginger, light and fresh, it's altogether not bad at all. It's fairly smooth and even-keeled.
In the drydown it becomes a simple but pleasant woodsy tobacco, nothing too complicated. Again, smooth, clean and....elegant? Can I use that word on a 15$ fragrance based on America's #1 selling ponycar? I guess I can.
Projection and sillage are moderate, it does not generate a lot of drama but I've gotten some compliments from people who have gotten close enough to get a good whiff. Longevity is so-so, 6-7 hours
When I frist smell this at CVS I like the smell than when I bought it I didn't like the top note smell like pickles but as the dry down it's smell pretty good
It would not be surprising if this becomes a minor classic. Gym bag, office, friends, coffee... it goes with almost everything informal. It's clean. It's interesting. It lasts 15 hours. One or two sprays is enough. It's inexpensive. It's got a lot going for it.
Reminds me a tiny bit of burberry brit for some reason (must be the ginger) but it's nothing like it, it's nowhere near as powdery. This is very masculine and last a good while, anyone should get a solid 6 to 8 hours out of this. I don't think this is ideal for an office scent nor should it be wasted as an everyday scent. This is probably ideal for going out on dates or parties. The stats above say it's better for the day than the night, but I think this will do a good job for long nights out or clubs if you want to use a fragrance. P.S. This stuff is strong, if you try it make sure to spray 3 to 4 times at the most, anymore and you could choke yourself out.
For the price, this juice gets my blessing. Sure, it has some alcohol in the top, but burns off leaving a citrussy tobacco with ginger and a heap of lavender. 12 hours later, I can still smell it at skin level. There is something that smells like cardamom in this as well...maybe tobacco mixed with lavender, I don't know, but its better than just about anything else I can think of for under $15. Similar to all these woody/spicy scents that are hitting the market now, and this did it years ago.
Beast ? I just received my bottle today directly from Elizabeth Arden.
Basically you get brown colored Alcohol with a "hint" of fragrance. It reminds me of the reformulated Chemistry by Clinique which has some notes that are similar to this.
IMO better to buy brown food dye and add it to the rubbing alcohol sitting in your medicine cabinet. There are no notes to review. It is a non fragrance.
Another "LOSER" from Elizabeth Arden. As of late they seem to be the "winner" in the "loser" category.
BEAST!!!!!!!! This is the only word to describe mustang by Estee lauder. You cannot in any shape form or fashion go wrong with this one. Smells amazing, has great sillage, and great longevity. I walked into the daycare to drop the kids off and the sitter says to me: Excuse me sir can I ask you a personal question? Sure. she says, this may sound random but I just want to tell you that you smell so good....lol I thanked her and then she says, I bet you get that alot don't you? I said well I do like to smell good. I thanked her for her encouragement and walked out. Got back to the car and smiled because I sprayed tadah Mustang by estee lauder on before I left the house. Great cologne for the price and the smell. If you see this one buy it. I highly recommend it.
This is a very, very nice cologne, especially for the price. The gift set was on sale for only $10 at Gordman's. I smelled it and couldn't understand how it was so cheap! Put this in a Burberry bottle and it would be a bestseller. I bought the gift set for my brother. At the store I sprayed the set with the tester so that (ideally) he'd be able to decide if he liked it before opening it. I started getting compliments immediately - from the woman at the checkout, to everyone in the family when I brought the gift set home. It's a very heavy, masculine scent with lots of musk and that LOVELY undertone of tobacco. No one in my family smokes, but this scent is something we can all enjoy. Needless to say, my brother absolutely loved it, and the smell stayed with the box until I gave him the gift a few weeks later.
I'm a tobacco fragrance fan, though I don't like all of them. I do like Kors' Michael for Men, which Mustang most closely resembles. However, I do think that they are different enough so that if you like these kinds of fragrances you might want to own own both. Mustang would be for warmer weather and the daytime, whereas MfM would be for cooler weather and nights. At this point, I'd have to say that I prefer MfM because it has a richness and depth that Mustang does not, though Mustang has it's own interesting qualities (they are lighter, perhaps due to ginger, juniper, and a little lemon). A very good tobacco "cheapo," though you can often get MfM on ebay cheaply if you have patience. In either case, don't expect the usual "fresh" fragrance; these both have more of a "mature" quality, and of course a lot of people today don't want to smell even a hint of tobacco, regardless of the source. If you want a "light" version of Havana, give this one a try. Another way to think about it is as a simplied Uomo? Moschino, with some mild tobacco included.
UPDATE: Far into the drydown, there is a really "deep" quality with the tobacco note playing a prominent role. It has a kind of earthy, barren feel that I actually like a lot, sort of niche-like but not as strong as you would expect in a niche fragrance. I think there's a little ginger that's providing just a bit of lightness. At this point, it's certainly different enough from MfM and bottle worthy to me, especially at current prices. Thankfully, I don't get strong patchouli, which I don't like if it's not faint, and the cedar note is subtle (the new chemicals being used to create a cedar effect can be really harsh). Lastly, the scientific name for oakmoss is listed as an ingredient, so it's odd that this is not said to be one of the notes.
I only have the aftershave of this little gem, but it has sufficient strength to review it. The ginger opening is fantastic and rich, it is balanced with the lemon. The sweetness and spiciness is just right and underpinned by the tobacco and woody notes. It is a lively and bright fragrance like the car it represents.
I think this is a beautiful fragrance,it has a lovely opening of ginger and lemon and I love the tobacco notes in this fragrance.This is a good all day cologne.Only real draw back is that it only lasts a couple of hours.
Meh. Save your money. I thought it would have been better than it is. Someone said it smells like a weak Michael Kors - it does barely - I was severely disappointed.
got it for the car brand thats about it smells ok its a cheap perfume to wear day to day to strong if you ask me
A nice fresh fragrance with a pipe tobacco note. Is blended better than some fragrances at 5 times the price. A good bargin fragrance for someone on a budget.
This scent is for a particular guy, he who works out, is very very confident & knows his engines. Mustang has a firm top and a sentual base. It's almost as if it wher liquid guy, or what you would imagine one of the bad boys who drives a Mustang would smell like. It's a great fragrance to have in the stang...I know I have a bottle in mine.
I always love cars. Even though, car fragrances are tacky, I still find myself collecting them. This Mustang smells quite good. I definitely smell sweet and spicy combo from ginger and lemon; making the scent very appealing to most people. I also smell tabacco blossom that is slightly sweet and aromatic. It's not exactly smoky but it's kinda dry here. And for cedar, I have no idea where it is. Juniper and musk are at the base as expected but it's still all about that nice tabacco blossom. Note: it doesn't smell like smokey cigarette.
Overall, I find the scent very appealing to most men. It doesn't smell cheap. Great for a holiday and birthday gift, especially for those who loves cars. By far, this one beats the silly Corvette cologne (maybe the Hummer too), and don't forget it was created by Estee Lauder, so you get a lot for the money. Still my ultimate car fragrance is the Bugatti, but why does it have to be so expensive?! (T~T)
I almost forgot to mention that the spray nozzle is superb. I mean it has a serious "Direct Injection" going on. With just a little press, it sprays out quite a lot and evenly. Porsche The Essence should learn from this and get theirs replaced!
Thanks gypsy parfumista for this gift. My first Mustang ever! Literally...
This was one of my first purchases since then, and I simply couldn't write a review about. So, I left it forgotten in the wardrobe. Good for you to have a time to use and try other things, to realize you like that one. At that time I had (at least I thought I had) an issue with something that I thought could be put in your car (or a Mustang), like an oil, but far from that. I don't get the ginger at the point of say "ginger"(thanks), and all the other things together makes a scent which you don't mess with anything feminine at all. The sweetness doesn't have anything to do with candies or flowers. For me a very good scent, another one that I can not dislike
I use to drive only Fords and I did have a black mustang and I use to wear Aramis so my girlfriend bought this for me to try. She likes it so I guess I'll be wearing it even if I didn't like it. But I have to say it is a great scent, strong but not too strong and the lavender is a departure for me as I normally go for the cologne with heavy vetiver scents.
Mustang, to me, is the little brother of Michael by Michael Kors. It is less complex than Michael, but that doesn't mean it is any less of a good scent. I bought Mustang and Michael because they are two, of very few, that have a pipe tobacco note (lots have cigar notes, few have pipe).
It opens with a citrus and ginger enhanced lavender, with the pipe tobacco playing a key role. This startup accord hangs on for a long time and then a touch of cedar starts to come through. It's a little bit linear in the top and mid notes, until the base starts to emerge. The dry down sweetens the fading top notes a little with patchouli and the amber comes through lightly well into the base. I don't get any Fir notes, which is good for me because I don't like strong evergreen notes in a cologne. If Fir is there, it's very subtle and may just strengthen the heart.
Mustang could be worn by any age group, while Michael, a "boozy" scent, is a "Men only, please" type of fragrance. Mustang is good for everyday/weekend casual wear, but could also be worn to the office because it doesn't smell like any alcoholic beverages. The top and mid notes are strong for almost an hour, and the whole thing lasts a little less than average. On me, it lasts almost 4 hours (I consider average to be between 4 and 6 hours).
I like Mustang, and I'm anticipating another good scent when the new Mustang Blue is available in my area.

Here is the complete text of the email Ian Wise sent to Mark Brown after reading a column that included police testimony Wise recognized as referring to him:
On March 16th 2012, an undercover police officer named Nadia Chikko walked up to an address listed on a flyer for a punk rock show and looked around. She saw a skinhead sitting on a step and asked for a lighter, using it as an excuse to strike up conversation about his tattoos. The one on his left arm — of Mexican Revolutionary Emiliano Zapata — really interested her. After a few minutes, she asked him if he knew where to get drugs. He made polite conversation but didn't offer any help in the way of getting high. Nearly two years later, Chikko referenced this conversation while testifying against three young men dubbed the "NATO 3" that are currently on trial for domestic terrorism. She pointed this stranger out as a person of interest and said he warranted being investigated further.
I know about this conversation because I was one the sitting on the steps outside the show, waiting for a friend's band to play. Two days ago, I saw my name and tattoo referenced in an article written by Mark Brown on the Chicago Sun-Times web site that went into a little more detail about the McCarthyist tactics being employed by the Chicago police to address the "anarchist threat" in the city.
The mention of me in the article puts me in the awkward position of sticking up for the politics of people that I don't necessarily agree with. See, I am not an anarchist. Chikko didn't ask "Do you believe in the total dismantlement of the government?" nor did she ask, "Given the chance, how many government buildings would you blow up?" She simply asked if I thought police could be trusted. My answer, it turns out, was pretty pointed. Of course police can't be trusted. She quoted me as saying "police are oppressive and need to be stopped" though this butchering of my words deviates from the idea that I was trying to express.
The Chicago police department list one of their core values as "Obligation", and describe that obligation to act as "either legal or moral". They do not, however, point out the fact that morality and law do not always go hand-in-hand. When the law crosses moral boundaries, those laws become oppressive. The problem is not always the police, because police are just people. The problem is a system that has created a culture of oppression. I understand how dramatic that last sentence sounds, but so many things in our day-to-day existence have become so commonplace that we have lost sight of the fact that our personal autonomy is being chipped away at every day. People of color living in poor neighborhoods that are introduced to the correctional system at a young age due to lack of community guidance are being oppressed. People existing outside of the gender binary that are stopped by police on suspicion of prostitution are being oppressed. People who are unable to have honest exchanges with each other in social settings for fear of being overheard making "anti police" statements and being named at trial are being oppressed.
What is the threat Chikko and the CPD see in the anarchists? Is it just the word that draws attention to them, or is it this fear of militia groups that they've cultivated after watching Fight Club too many times in their man caves? Is the government soon going to put the black bags over our heads, throw us in a cell and tell us they will only let us out when we name names? If we are to name names, we can only name ourselves, because humans are sovereign beings. We may work together but in the end we stand alone.
If we are to follow text book anarchism, the names we could come up with would include any cop who ever bent a rule or walked outside the lines of protocol to help someone out. Any police officer that ever caught a 13 year-old kid with a bag of weed and made the decision to give him a ride home and maybe lend an ear has a little bit [of] that threat in them. Any teacher who lent a student a copy of Persepolis after the schools took it out of their libraries is just as guilty of anti state thinking as someone who made vague threats over the internet and currently stands trial.
When Chikko suggested that I "could be something worth looking into" I wonder what she expected to find out about me. Perhaps she would like to know what when I got the tattoo she was so curious about, I was 19 years-old and working third shift in a chemical plant for $7.75 an hour. I was a new husband and father trying to stretch every dollar as far as I could. I was fighting hard for the very little that I had at the time, and never took money from the government. I didn't have a LINK card. What I liked about Zapata was a quote of his that translated to "I would rather die on my feet than continue to live on my knees."
Perhaps she expected to find out that I had tried to join the military, but health concerns locked me out. I always looked up to my father, a proud member of the 101st airborne division, and wanted to follow in his footsteps. My grandfather and his two brothers all saw combat in Europe during World War II, and one of my uncles gave his life fighting fascists. This has always been a point of pride in my family. Maybe she expected to find that as a young, loud mouthed skinhead kid growing up in my hometown of Birmingham, Alabama, my problem wasn't so much with police but with Neo-Nazi gangs that threatened to kill me when I was 15 because of my presence at punk shows and outspoken condemnation of racism. Did she want to know that I started working at 14 and saved up my money to put out records, put on shows, and publish zines?
The reason I bring up my own history is because there is the expectation by the police and the silent majority that young people who don't conform to expected social standards are lazy and the only reason we complain is because we don't want to grow up. They expect any political opinion we have to be derived from clever Internet memes or trendy, easily digestible political "documentaries" on YouTube. The truth is that most of us don't want to grow up if it means shrugging our shoulders and saying "well, that's just the way things are" so that we can ooze self-contempt sitting in front of Fox News every night.
What the police don't understand is that bombs and rhetoric do not always bring on revolution, and that's what they should have taken away from their time attending DIY punk shows. Revolution is sparked when people stop trying to impress each other and try to get things done. The Chicago police department also lists among their core values integrity, leadership, and courage. What is it they think we are doing by booking our own shows, having honest exchanges with people across class, color, and gender lines, and trying to remove ourselves in small ways from a system we see as corrupt? In a post-9/11 landscape where everyone is afraid of each other, we are the people opening up positive communication and trying to support involvement and creativity from people that are otherwise marginalized. If CPD expects us to stand trial for that, then I waive my right to attorney and choose to speak to the jury as my peers.
Ian Wise, Bridgeport

Hamill Attends LMDA

The Literary Managers and Dramaturgs of the Americas (LMDA) met in Canada this summer; Cornish senior Lexi Hamill was there.
When people think about Cornish, they would probably be surprised to discover how much of the artists' education is devoted to "bookish" pursuits. The fact is, intellectual work is going on at the College every day. For starters, all students study the history of their disciplines. Then there are some specialties within departments that require more in-depth work. For example, in the theater department, those who study directing need a more thorough-going grounding in history, literature and aesthetics than many of their contemporaries. A step further is taken by a select group of students within the theater department — "self-select," in fact —who study dramaturgy. Alexandra Hamill (TH '13) is one of these. She is just back from the annual conference of the Literary Managers and Dramaturgs of the Americas (LMDA) in Vancouver, B.C.
Alexandra, or Lexi to her friends, was at the LMDA as an "early career dramaturg." She led a panel that examined the future of dramaturgy. Lexi has been a member of of the LMDA for one-and-a-half years.
"The conference was wildly informative and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to learn so much," Hamill wrote to Cornish Dean of the College Jenifer Ward. "The panel that I served on, 'Emerging Dramaturgs Envision the Future of Dramaturgy,' was very successful. Two other early career dramaturgs and I crafted personal manifestos about how we imagine the future of dramaturgy and, after sharing these individual documents with the group we presented to, we all crafted a manifesto together."
Hamill continued: "The manifestos from the panel are being added to the conference archive that LMDA is creating and I believe there are plans for them to be published in LMDA's journal The Review."
The field of dramaturgy is both highly specialized and takes place largely outside of the public eye, so people might not know much about it. A dramaturg is a professional engaged in a vital support role in the fabric of a theater company. He or she is there to provide research for productions, to be a disinterested eye a director can turn to for advice, or to operate as an organizing factor for the creation of a new play, helping the playwright to keep on track. As LMDA's very name suggests, the connection of dramaturgy to literary management is a close one. A company's literary manager is in charge of developing the repertoire, identifying and helping to select the plays and playwrights seen on stage during a season. Lately, dance companies have begun to employ dramaturgs as well.
Dramaturgy is not a program within the theater department at Cornish per se. According to Professor John Wilson, who teaches performance art: history & theory and theatre history and also oversees dramaturgy, the path of young dramaturgs at Cornish begins with freshman text analysis. As a small number of students confront problems in textual and critical studies and begin to apply them to their practical experiences in the art, they bit-by-bit gravitate towards the discipline. That is to say that the students who end up as dramaturgs don't choose it so much as they discover it in themselves. "They recognize that they have already been doing it," says Wilson, "and it's been pleasurable — but without the vocabulary 'til now."
"The serious study of dramaturgy at Cornish requires the same uncommon commitment, resilience and courage that is demanded of all the students at the College," says Wilson. "To have met the challenges on the path of the scholar-artist that leads to the discipline of dramaturgy is an achievement of distinction."
"It's learning by fire," says Lexi Hamill of the excitement of the free-form process of learning dramaturgy at Cornish as a scholar-artist, "It's learning between the cracks. Your life is spent life filling in the pieces" The process of learning dramaturgy thus mirrors the everyday work of a dramaturg. The process is, to a great extent, the lesson.
Once a student like Hamill declares an intention to study dramaturgy, she embarks on a self-directed course of independent study with Wilson there to help. These students are attached to the various productions at Cornish throughout the year to hone their craft working with directors and casts to sharpen their awareness of what Wilson calls the "emergent production." The production process can be stressful for the director and cast; student dramaturgs must learn to be patient, constantly aware of changes, informative and non-aggressive as they support the production to a successful opening.
Hamill is a native of Coatsville, PA, who spent her high school years in Las Vegas. After a year at Las Vegas Academy, she transferred to the College of Southern Nevada High School program. Early on, she knew she wanted to be involved in the performing arts. She was involved both in competitive ballroom dancing and was enrolled in the college's theater arts program. She graduated from the CSN program third in her class. As she approached graduation, Hamill, like most other high school seniors, was still up in the air about which direction to take. She applied to the University of Oklahoma's musical theater program and to Cornish. The latter won out.
Once ensconced at Cornish, Hamill intended to study acting, but slowly, inexorably, she was drawn to dramaturgy. She cut her teeth as dramaturg for new work with The Chalk Boy, a script by a Cornish playwright now carving a name for himself in New York, Joshua Conkel [TH '03]. She went on to work with a well established script, Maria Irene Fornés' 1977 work, Fefu and Her Friends. .
Lexi Hamill will finish her career at Cornish in December, on the delivery of her senior thesis. Already she has been working outside the College as a dramaturg for dance at Velocity.
