Expressive Typography
- This was one of my first deliverables for my Typography class. The first phase of the project was to choose from a list of headlines, haikus and fables. We were then asked to pair these bits of text with a qualifier (angry, whimsical, etc.). The next step involved manipulating the type to reflect the qualifier.
The result was wildly different compositions and a better understanding of how type can convey emotion.

DigitalBridge's(SM) Digital Warrants(TM) Program Meets Tremendous Success in Cook County Illinois Circuit Court; Slashes Warrant

OREM, Utah , Dec. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- DigitalBridge(SM), the leader in protected information sharing technologies and solutions for digital ecosystems, today announced that it is deploying its Digital Warrants(TM) solution in two additional Cook County, Illinois , suburban court districts, following the tremendous success in Cook County Circuit Court District One, Branch Court 29, serving Chicago , and Districts Five and Six. The technology solution promises to transform the judicial process, by allowing critical information to be shared between stakeholders, so justice is dispensed more rapidly, accurately, securely and at dramatically lower taxpayer expense.
Digital Warrants is a solution which makes the manual warrant process
electronic. The process, which has typically taken several days and costs
"We are exceedingly proud of the success of Digital Warrants in Cook County ," said Terry Pitts , President and CEO of DigitalBridge. Mr. Pitts added, "The Cook County Circuit Court system is a tremendously busy one and we have been able to help Cook reach a new level of technological innovation through Digital Warrants. We are thrilled to work with the Honorable Clerk Brown and her team to extend this solution throughout their system, helping Cook County Circuit Court meet its citizens' rights to due process and public safety."
"With more than two million court cases handled each year by the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County , it is imperative that we continually seek, find and implement innovative ways to more efficiently and effectively serve the citizens of Cook County ," said Honorable Dorothy Brown, Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County .
"DigitalBridge, and its Digital Warrants solution, has provided another opportunity for us to upgrade and enhance our services. This automation allows our office to further streamline processes and greatly reduce costs. The benefits of this latest innovation to the Clerk's Office, our affiliate law enforcement and justice agencies, and Cook County citizens are tremendous."
The roll-out of the Digital Warrants pilot program was funded with a grant from the National Criminal History Improvement Project (NCHIP), through the United States Department of Justice. The project has integrated the processing of orders of protection, warrants, and wiretap orders in Cook County . The funding has allowed the Clerk of the Court's office to create a Web-based system between its criminal case management system (KRIM) and the information systems of the Chicago Police Department, the Offices of the Cook County State's Attorney, Public Defender, Chief Judge, Sheriff, and Illinois State Police. The automated process ensures the complete, accurate, timely, and secure transfer of information, as well as the ability to exchange documents between agencies, the security of digital signatures on all documents, an electronic audit log to track changes in the status of information, and the ability for authorized users in every agency to access current information about each case.
Perhaps most important, the Digital Warrants solution allows Cook County law enforcement officials to return to fighting crime, rather than spend time and resources carrying warrants to various agency officials for their signatures, expediting the warrant process and saving lives.

Why Social Media Won't Replace E-mail Anytime Soon
AOL's greeting of "You've got mail!" may sound quaint in the 21st century, but millions of people still rely upon e-mail even in the age of Facebook and Twitter. Now Internet search giant Google wants to merge e-mail with its own social media option, Google Buzz, and create a future where people go to just one source for all their online communication needs.
Google co-founder Sergey Brin said the plethora of social media choices such as e-mail, Instant Messaging (IM), Facebook, and Twitter can be confusing, and suggested that Google Buzz could simplify the choice of how to share your next personal update or intriguing news story.
"I think it is stressful today to have to make those choices," Brin said in a TechCrunch interview. "And I'd like to move to a situation where people make that choice less."
But not everyone agrees with that vision. Google's idea of having just one medium for all online communication is "misguided," according to Nancy Baym, a communications researcher at the University of Kansas who has written an upcoming book titled "Personal Connections in the Digital Age."
"Email is extremely useful, in part — and this is where Google Buzz messed up — because it is perceived as a private one-to-one medium," Baym told TechNewsDaily.
"As a longer form, it allows you to revise. As an asynchronous form, it allows you time before responding. As a form that allows you to select your recipients, it allows you to target messages very precisely."
A rough start
Perhaps a misunderstanding of how people use their e-mail as opposed to a social networking service may have contributed to Google Buzz's rough start. Many people using Google's e-mail service, Gmail, complained when Buzz launched with an auto-follow option that involuntarily chose Buzz contacts from their e-mail contacts. Buzz also automatically shared people's public information on services such as Google Reader.
That led to some awkward circumstances for Gmail users such as Harriet Jacob, as Mashable pointed out. Buzz automatically shared Jacob's public Google Reader comments and info — which included her current location and workplace — with Gmail contacts that included her "abusive ex-husband" and his friends.
The outcry over auto-follow and other perceived threats to Gmail user privacy led Google to issue an apology of sorts in a weekend blog post. Google also pledged new immediate changes that include eliminating the auto-follow model for adding new Buzz contacts, more transparent displays for enabling or disabling Buzz sharing features, and not automatically sharing info from Google Reader or other services.
Still, Buzz's tie-in with Gmail allowed it to amass over 10 million users in its first two days of existence. Facebook currently has more than 400 million active users worldwide, and Twitter counted 60 million unique users as of December 2009.
Google Buzz and Facebook have shown signs of wanting to become the one-stop shop portals for Internet communication and sharing. But Baym suggested that it's more likely that many such services will coexist for the foreseeable future.
People may feel besieged because social media services fail to provide clear ways for people to filter the information they want to receive, and not necessarily because people have become confused by the sheer variety of services, Baym added.
"I think people are absolutely overwhelmed, and rightly so," she said. "We've never been bombarded with more social information to sort through, and despite their rhetoric and algorithms, social networking sites have been really poor at helping people tailor that information stream to their interests."
A wish list
Baym said she would like to see social media platforms implement the following features:
- The ability to select what information you see when you log on (for instance, if people want Status Updates to be their default Facebook view, they should have that).
- The ability to refine information streams in user-selected ways. For example, on Facebook, people should be able to say "I don't want to see ANY updates from ANY application unless I follow it" or "I want to see Bob's status updates but not his links."
- The ability to target messages at specific sets of people easily, and restrict access to your material on a per-message basis by person easily.
- The ability to export all your data at any time.
- The ability to import your data elsewhere.
- For new features to be opt-in, and never opt-out, so changes don't automatically take effect before users can make a decision.
- Anything that makes the site and your information public should also be on an opt-in basis, not opt-out.
- The ability to delete your account easily, instantly and permanently.
Baym's observations suggest that the most successful social media platforms will not necessarily be the ones that offers the most options for communicating online, but those that give users the most control over how they receive information and how their personal data is shared.
And people will likely continue to want their private e-mail options, Baym said, regardless of whether it exists independently or as part of a broader, future social media platform.
"No one wants to communicate to everyone with every message," she said.

I was born and brought up a Muslim and obviously when you're growing up, you don't question what you're told. However as I got older I felt less and less into religion itself (I never wore a hijab either, if that's worth mentioning.) It's always my mom saying "make sure you pray" and "learn more about your religion" so I just got on with it but I've gotten to a point where I'm not happy with it. I don't drink or smoke, I eat halal and I don't believe in sex before marriage (and I haven't had any relationships either) so there are some elements that I agree with but on the whole, this isn't about me wanting to tell my mom I don't feel religious or me leaving the religion, it's about sharing my thoughts and looking at what other people think. At the end of the day, for me I don't feel like I need religion or its teachings to live my life, it's very forceful and if you don't follow it to the book then you're damned. I'm not going to pretend I'm the best person in the world but I also don't think religion is what makes people good, it's themselves.
Now I've always believed in Allah and I always will, for me He is something I really feel to be true. I'm so thankful for all the times He's been there for me and I don't question Him at all, however, it's just religion as a whole I'm not really in to. I feel as though all religions are in some way contradictory to their beliefs and they all have a set way of living which is impossible for everybody to abide by perfectly, risking an eternity in hell. I went through a phase of pushing myself into religion where I prayed and read the Qur'an as much as possible and it made me feel at peace, but I don't feel like I need to do that in order to grow closer to Allah. I also felt fake as I was doing it to look like a good Muslim when I didn't feel it in my heart. I feel just theist and not religious at all, but at the same time having some parts of religious teachings within me as I was brought up that way. Also, everything comes back to God. Religions, generally, are different paths that people take to get to God, and so isn't it perfectly decent for someone to take their own path towards God?
My mom is religious, as is my older brother and so I feel like how I'm feeling now is going to break my family apart as I get older (I'm 19 now and I also have a younger sister and brother.) I don't think it's right for myself or my family to try and force views upon me that I don't agree with so long as I live and strive to be as good as I can while on the earth. Also, when I have kids, I'm not going to force them into believing anything either, just as long as I bring them up with the best values and teaching them right from wrong. I know a lot of people will probably leave hate for me, but can someone please offer decent thoughts on the situation? I don't think anyone or anything will change my mind but I'd like to see what other people think.
Just as a note: dad's not around, my parents are divorced. He wasn't a great man and not a very good Muslim either.

One of the "joys involved in tending the land" covered by Grow!, the first film on this year's Slow Food Charleston Fall Film Series schedule, probably isn't judging locavore picnics. But a few lucky area farmers will have the chance to choose the best "slowest picnic" in a contest preceding the Oct. 10 screening.
If you'd like your dinner assessed, bring enough food to share. Non-competitive eaters are also being urged to bring personal picnics to the 6:30 p.m. event at Dirthugger Farms.
Now in its third year, Slow Food's film series strives to share stories about food and the people who produce it. In addition to Grow!, which focuses on young Georgia farmers, the lineup includes Eating Alabama, the tale of a young couple who encounter difficulties trying to eat the way their grandparents did; The Garden, a documentary about a Los Angeles urban farm and A Sea Change, an exploration of ocean acidification.

Sautéed garlic Rapini (Broccoli Rabe)
The perfect side to a dinner time meal, this zingy green is perfectly matched with sausages, pork chops or lamb. If serving with sausages, use instead of rice as a lighter and more flavorful base on your plate.
Ingredients (serves 2-3)
1 head of rapini, washed, dried and ends trimmed
3-4 cloves of fresh garlic, minced
2 tbsp of EVOO
1/2-1 tsp sea salt
A dash each of: Red chili flakes, cayenne pepper, black pepper and garlic powder
- Bring a medium-large pot of water to a boil and blanche the rapini. How to blanche: Drop in prepared rapini and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from water and place directly into a bowl filled with ice water.
- After the rapini has spent a minute or two in the ice bath, remove and pat dry.
- Heat a large skillet with EVOO on medium heat. Transfer the rapini to the prepared skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until tender but not browned at all.
- Add the spices, tossing to coat evenly.
- Taste, adjusting spices to desired level. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Make this when… To serve with sausage. All seasons. To accompany an Italian meal.

Released in 1972. It is the second album after Jim Morrison's death, and would be the last album they would compile until 1978's An American Prayer. The album includes "The Mosquito", the last hit single by the band.
Keyboardist Ray Manzarek and guitarist Robby Krieger provided lead vocals on the album. Also, unlike their earlier work, bassists were used collaboratively on every track.

Recently many of my friends who are new to running have been coming to me for running advice/inspiration. I think the reason they come to me specifically is because less than 2 years ago I stood firmly by my anti-exercise, unhealthy diet lifestyle. I love talking to people about how I changed into a "runner," but sometimes afterwards I think of another thing that inspired me to run at the beginning and I worry that if I constantly email them with little tips they might feel embarrassed to talk to me about it again if they don't live up to my personal goals and advice. I am starting this blog as a place where people who need inspiration can come to take what they want from my experiences, without feeling judged and with no pressure to perform.
When I started out I was constantly searching internet forums for running advice, inspiration, injury answers, etc. Not everything I write here will pertain to every person, but I hope that some of my personal stories might hit home for some people. Please remember that I am NOT an expert…I still consider myself to be a beginner! Everything I post here comes from my own personal experience and I urge everyone to seek experts if they need any serious advice. As you will see from my subsequent posts, running has completely changed my life and I just want to help others obtain the happiness that I have through this sport!
Please check back often for future posts on all things running…from how I started running, to what motivates me, to running and pooping…it will all be here eventually. You might even see seemingly contradictory posts, such as "why I love running outside" and "why I love running on a treadmill." I hope that this does not make me less credible, rather it is a testament to how much I love every aspect of this sport! Just because I love one thing does not mean I hate its opposite. Please keep this in mind as you continue to read my posts. In the meantime, happy running!

I just found out about this company when I was perusing a new store in my neighborhood, Lincoln Square, coincidentally called Neighborly. I instantly fell in love with this bag and bought it in the Sailor Stripe pattern. It's versatile, washable, recycled cotton, durable, fashionable, and affordable at $26! You can't beat that.

there'd be new birds
Lots of nice and friendly howdy-do birds
Everyone would have a dozen bluebirds

Princess Jasmine (Arabic: الأميرة ياسمين) is a fictional character who appears in Walt Disney Pictures' 31st animated feature film Aladdin (1992). The character subsequently appears in the film's two direct-to-video sequels The Return of Jafar (1994) and Aladdin and the King of Thieves (1996), as well as its animated television series, that ran from 1994 to 1995. In all film and television appearances, Jasmine's speaking voice is provided by American actress Linda Larkin. Filipina singer and actress Lea Salonga provides the character's singing voice in the first film, while American actress and singer Liz Callaway replaces her in The Return of Jafar.
Jasmine was based on the character Princess Badroulbadour from the Arabic folk tale "Aladdin", part of the One Thousand and One Nights series. She was adapted for the film by directors Ron Clements and John Musker, and animated by Mark Henn. In the first film, Jasmine is the beautiful and well sought-after Princess of Agrabah who is being forced by an age-old law to marry a prince in time for her 16th birthday. Notorious for having rejected several noble and wealthy suitors, Jasmine, fed up with her controlled and sheltered life as a princess, wishes to marry someone she loves for who they are as opposed to what they own.
Jasmine has garnered a generally mixed reception from critics, many of whom praised her strong-willed and free-spirited personality, while others criticized her role in the film, which they felt was "bland" and "unoriginal". Several critics also drew comparisons between the character and preceding Disney Princess Belle from Beauty and the Beast (1991). Jasmine is the 6th member of the Disney Princess line-up.
Linda Larkin went to accompany a friend who was auditioning for Jasmine, and decided to also test for the role after reading the script, being very inspired by the line "It's all so magical".[1] She was chosen for the role nine months later, and had to adjust her pitch to fit what the filmmakers wanted for Jasmine; her voice was considered "too high"[2] and sounded too young, despite Larkin being five years older than Scott Weinger, Aladdin's voice actor.[3]
Linda was almost fired and had to re-audition for the role until Ron Clements and John Musker vied for her to keep her position. Jeffrey Katzenberg did not think her voice sounded "forceful" or "regal" enough to play a princess. A guided recording session with Linda managed to sway Katzenberg into allowing her to keep her job.[4]
Supervising animator Mark Henn worked on early development of the character from the animation studio at Disney-MGM Studios in Florida—in full view of theme-park guests. Henn says he saw a young park visitor with a long, flowing black mane, and was inspired by her look for Princess Jasmine.[5] Her facial features were based on Henn's sister Beth.[6]
Jasmine's signature song is "A Whole New World". Aladdin as Prince Ali first sings this song to Jasmine showing her the world outside the palace on his magic carpet. Afterwards Jasmine sings this song to him telling him how much she has never seen the world. She has been dreaming of seeing the world outside the palace and now she sees how much the world is amazing. She starts to fall in love with Prince Ali but she already fell in love with him when she was dressed as a peasant and he was Aladdin.
Later on, she and Aladdin sing the song near the end of the movie finally together and being themselves now.

Jasmine first appears in Aladdin (1992), as the oldest daughter of the wealthy Sultan of Agrabah. Jasmine was unhappy with having no choice in life, and being ruled over by her father. So she runs away from home the palace life for a more simple life with freedom. After escaping to the town of Agrabah that surrounds the palace walls. This is where she meets Aladdin. Jasmine first meets him by giving an apple to a hungry child. She did not pay for this apple so the owner wants to cut off her hand as payment. Though Aladdin quickly comes in to her rescue and convinces the man that Jasmine is his crazy sister who thinks his pet monkey is the Sultan. Jasmine quickly catches onto what Aladdin is doing and goes along with the story. Later they both run off together to Aladdin's house where they both realize that they want to be free of the life that they are living and they have the same dreams. Though shortly after this Aladdin is arrested by guards led by Razoul. Jasmine reveals herself to them and demands them to let Aladdin go. However, Razoul apologizes and explains that he is doing so on Jafar's orders. Jasmine confronts Jafar and orders them to release Aladdin, but Jafar tells her that Aladdin has already been executed; Jasmine is left distraught and she blames herself for Aladdin's misfortune. After Aladdin's wish to become a prince is granted to him by The Genie, he visits Jasmine in the guise of "Prince Ali-Ababwa". She initially believes him to be just another arrogant suitor, but later accepts his proposal after falling in love with him on a magic carpet ride. During this time, Jasmine sees through Aladdin's disguise, but Aladdin convinces her that he sometimes dressed up as a commoner to "escape the pressures of palace life", which she relates to. She is taken back to the palace and the two share a kiss.
However, upon announcing her decision to marry Aladdin, Jafar takes over Agrabah by stealing the lamp from Aladdin. At the same time, Aladdin attempts to reveal his true identity, but before he can do so, Jafar already exposed his identity to Jasmine. After Jafar banishes Aladdin to the ends of the Earth, he then makes Jasmine his personal slavegirl. Jasmine was then forced to wear the revealing costume of a harem concubine and leashed to Jafar's throne to serve him. While Aladdin is banished to the frozen tundra, Jasmine must endure Jafar's lecherous advances and humiliations. When Aladdin finally returns, he goes to rescue Jasmine and saves the kingdom. Jasmine helps Aladdin to distract Jafar by seducing him and pretending to fall madly in love with him. After Jafar discovers her lie, Jasmine tries to steal the lamp in order to restore her father's kingdom. She is then trapped in an hourglass, and nearly dies from lack of air. In the end, she is saved by Aladdin and returns to be the Princess of Agrabah, with her father, the Sultan.[7] After seeing how much Jasmine loves Aladdin, her father allows her to marry any man she feels is worthy, and the two are engaged.
In the first direct-to-video sequel, The Return of Jafar (1994), Jasmine later begins to question her choice in marrying Aladdin. She wonders if he is trustworthy enough after he defends Iago, Jafar's former pet parrot who had terrorized her father, but she quickly gets over these questions with Iago's help (who convinces her that she cares about Aladdin by calling her bluff). She later accepts Iago as a friend after he helps her mend her relationship with Aladdin, frees the Genie to save Aladdin, and defeats Jafar by risking his life for Jasmine.
Finally, in the second direct-to-video/DVD movie, Aladdin and the King of Thieves (1996) she and Aladdin are finally about to wed, when their wedding is interrupted by the Forty Thieves. After learning what they were after, Aladdin finds out from the Oracle that his father Cassim is still alive. Jasmine convinces him to seek out for his father, and that their wedding can be delayed a little bit longer.
While he is away, Jasmine grows worried, and Genie cheers her up by dressing her in bridal outfits. When Aladdin returns with Cassim, she and the Sultan take an immediate liking to him. However, he later tries to steal the Oracle, and is put in prison; Aladdin helps him escape which result in punishment. Jasmine and the Genie convince the Sultan that he helped his father out of love. At that moment, Iago (who was with Cassim) returns, telling them that Cassim has been captured by Sa'luk and the remaining Thieves.
Jasmine goes with Aladdin to rescue his father, and afterward they return for their wedding, which Cassim attends from the shadows. They go for a ride on Carpet, waving good-bye to the Merchant from the first film and Iago and Cassim as they ride off. The two then kiss.
Princess Jasmine (Linda Larkin) is tired and bored of her usual princess duties. She is no longer satisfied with overseeing shop openings and assisting in the sale of a camel at the local market place. While having her portrait painted as a "Peacock Princess," Jasmine loses patience and says she wants more responsibility. The Sultan (Jeff Bennett) gives her the job of "Royal Assistant Educator" at the Royal Academy. Jasmine is thrilled until she meets her pupils. They run amok, draw on the walls, pillow fight, and throw books. She calls Rajah (Frank Welker) to try to scare the children into behaving, but they ignore him and chase Jasmine and Rajah into the mud and up a tree. Jasmine gives up. Later that night, her lady-in-waiting tells her that she needs patience and perseverance and that with these tools, she can do anything she wants. The next day, Hakeem (Zack Shada), the stable boy, seeks Jasmine's help. The Sultan's prized horse, Sahara, is missing from the Stables. Jasmine takes it upon herself, with Carpet, Abu (Welker), and Iago's (Gilbert Gottfried) help, to find Sahara and return him to the Palace.
Jasmine is an official member of the Disney Princess line, a prominent franchise directed to young girls. The franchise covers a wide variety of merchandise, including but not limited to magazines, music albums, toys, video games, clothes and stationery.[8] She is featured prominently in Disney Princess Enchanted Tales: Follow Your Dreams, where she is the main character of one of the film's segments.
Princess Jasmine has made many appearances outside of the Aladdin films, including appearances at the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts as a meetable character. She is a frequently-seen character, and often accompanies Aladdin, and occasionally Genie. Jasmine is a featured character in the Mickey's Philharmagic 3D show at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom and Hong Kong Disneyland. Jasmine, Aladdin, Carpet, Abu and Genie make cameo appearances in the Hong Kong Disneyland version of It's a Small World. Jasmine also appears in various television series and was featured as a main character in the animated series based on the original 1992 feature. The series picked up where The Return of Jafar left off, with Aladdin still living on the streets of Agrabah, engaged to Jasmine. The character also made cameo appearances in Disney's House of Mouse and Hercules: The Animated Series. Recently, Jasmine appeared in the episode "Two to Tangu" of the Disney Junior series Sofia the First, in which she helps Sofia and Amber tame a wild magic carpet.
Jasmine appears in Kingdom Hearts as a supporting character in Agrabah, based on the Aladdin films. She is one of the Princesses of Heart kidnapped by Maleficent. She appears again in Kingdom Hearts II, and explains the strange behavior of Aladdin to Sora, Donald and Goofy. The cause of Aladdin's behavior is his loneliness after Genie went to see the other worlds. When Genie comes back all is well again. Linda Larkin reprises her role in the English version. Aside from the Kingdom Hearts series, Jasmine makes appearances in the video game adaptations of the 1992 film.[9]
In the Broadway musical adaptation of the movie, Jasmine is played by actress, Courtney Reed.[10]
|"While Jasmine is not quite so liberated as Belle, she is advanced considering that she lives in the Dark Ages...Jasmine probably has more in common with the heroine of "I Dream of Jeannie" than with a Muslim princess of 850 A.D. And her dream isn't so different from Snow White's or Cinderella's: She is waiting for her prince to come, but he must be a man with both looks and character."[11]
|— Rita Kempley of The Washington Post, in analysis of Jasmine's character.
Critical reception towards Jasmine has been generally mixed. Ty Burr of Entertainment Weekly positively described Jasmine as "the most full-bodied ... of the new Disney heroines".[12] Brian Lowry of Variety likened Jasmine's strong-willed personality to that of Belle from Beauty and the Beast (1991), describing her as an "anachronistically liberated" heroine.[13] James Berardinelli of ReelViews was fairly positive in his review of the character, commending her for "show[ing] the same streak of stubborn independence exhibited by Ariel and Belle", but criticizing the fact that "she doesn't fill a more pressing role than that of Aladdin's 'love interest.'"[14] Desson Howe of The Washington Post praised Jasmine for providing the film with "feminist consciousness".[15] The Christian Science Monitor's David Sterrit commented, "the princess ... is less carefully worked out [than Aladdin] but equally likable as a personality type."[16] Contactmusic.com wrote that Jasmine has "likeably cynical streaks" despite being an "essentially bland" character.[17] Common Sense Media gave Jasmine a somewhat positive review, writing, "Jasmine is no Belle", calling her "spunky" despite the fact that "her predicament isn't very original".[18] Similarly, Gary Thompson of the Philadelphia Daily News wrote, "Princess Jasmine is also more barbed, yet without the obvious feminist makeover given to Belle".[19]
Other film critics have reacted less favorably towards Jasmine. Creative Loafing's Matt Brunson gave the character a mixed review, labeling her a "liberated" but "stiff" heroine.[20] Janet Maslin of The New York Times described Jasmine as shallow and bland character, criticizing the fact that her "main concern is deciding whom she will marry."[21] Time Out gave the character a fairly negative review, calling her disappointing.[22] TV Guide criticized Jasmine's role in the film, describing her as "bland".[23] Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times labeled Jasmine one of the film's "weaknesses", negatively describing the relationship between her and main character Aladdin as "pale and routine".[24] Ed Gonzalez of Slant Magazine also panned the character, writing, "Jasmine is another 'free-spirited' type in the Barbie-doll tradition, a faux feminist who wants everyone to know that she can do everything the boys can".[25]
Tala Dayrit of Female Network included Jasmine in her list of "30 Fierce and Fun Female Cartoon Characters". Describing her as "a new-age princess", Dayrit wrote that Jasmine is "opinionated and spirited, with a clear mind of her own" who "refus[es] to believe that her life should be lived according to the dictates of others".[26] Sonia Saraiya of Nerve ranked Jasmine fifth in her article "Ranked: Disney Princesses From Least To Most Feminist". Saraiya praised her personality, likening her boldness, curiosity, and skepticism of marriage to that of Belle while commending her for "falling for a completely inadequate 'street rat' and whisking him out of poverty, instead of the other way around." However, Saraiya labeled Jasmine's use of sexuality her "only power", criticizing her for sending a negative message to young girls.[27] Dimas Sanfiorenzo of Complex ranked Jasmine second in his article "The 25 Hottest Cartoon Women Of All Time", awarding specific praise to her hair and her eyes.[28]

Street Life in Paris. David Bacher.
Street life in Paris is something that is hard to define and has been photographed over and over again since cameras were invented. It is partially these two elements that have prompted American/Austrian photographer David Bacher to search for new ways of portraying Paris. Paris is in fact much more than its image portrayed by cliché black and white postcards. It can be full of contrasting colors and can have many faces, both feverishly happy and utterly sad. Paris has a deeply melancholic stare in the damp cold winter months and it can unleash quirky visual puns as spring and summer arrive. The city is an eclectic mix of different nationalities, all which converge on its streets creating a dynamic and challenging workplace for a photographer. David has been exploring Paris' streets since 2004 and this is a small selection of the body of work.

AFRICA/ZAMBIA - The Bishop of Chipata protests for the deportation of a priest of Rwandese origin
Lusaka (Agenzia Fides)-His Exc. Mgr. George Cosmas Zumaire Lungu, Bishop of Chipata, in Zambia expressed his protest against the "unfortunate deportation " of a priest of Rwandese origin, Fr. Viateur Banyangandora, pastor of Lundazi, in a pastoral letter, which will be read in all parishes of the diocese on Sunday, August 12.
The letter, whose text was sent to Fides Agency, reconstructs in great detail, the arrest of the priest (defined by the Bishop as a "kidnapping"), which occurred on July 30.
Mgr. Lungu said he had briefly met Fr. Viateur, at the local police station after receiving a call from the priest who informed him of being under arrest. According to Fr. Viateur, the reasons for his arrest were not clear, "except-writes the Bishop-that it was in connection with the Sunday Homily in which he had spoken about cotton prices. He assured me that he never attacked the government in any way."
Afterwards Fr. Viateur was driven to Lusaka, and according to Mgr. Lungu the priest was not availed a lawyer legal and not a single diocesan official was present nor notified of his arrest. While Mgr. Lungu was trying to get news about his priest, he later found out that Fr. Viateur had been deported to Rwanda.
"We were kept in the dark about and the whereabouts of Fr. Viateur for four days until the announcement after the deportation on the evening of August 2 by the Minister of Home Affairs, Edgar Lungu, who finally confirmed, through the media, of his deportation from Zambia in Rwanda," writes Mgr. Lungu.
By defining Fr. Viateur " a good priest and a man of peace and integrity," the Bishop of Chipata says: "No amount of explanation will ever convince us that he would behave in a manner that would cause a breach of peace of our Country. Despite this injustice done to him, I still appeal to you all to remain calm ".
Fr. Viateur is a Rwandese refugee who was ordained in 2004. "He became a priest of Chipata diocese. He chose to remain in Chipata as one of the diocesan priests until his death," emphasized Mgr. Lungu.
"In the January 2012 pastoral letter (see Fides 30/01/2012), we Catholic bishops highlighted the plight facing community the Rwandan refugee community in Zambia. Could the deportation of Fr. Viateur signal the start of worse things to come for this community and for our priests? Only God knows," concludes Mgr. Lungu. (L.M.) (Agenzia Fides 07/08/2012)

text: Greetings, My experience is that you go with your preference. Brandy and vodka have very distinctly different characteristics...if you are not partial the taste and feel of brandy, you will find your cordial is much the same -- probably not to your liking. I, for one, use grain alcohol as a start to produce something as close to period as possible...160 to 180 proof range. Never use Everclear (or other 190 proof alcohols) as they retain an annoying flavor that reduces your cordial to a poorly made Everclear drink -- blame it on the esthers. In general, vodka is good but be aware of the amount of non-alcoholic liquid you introduce into the mixture. For example, frozen strawberries can introduce enough liquid volume to lower the alcoholic content to a fermentable level...believe me, this is experience speaking! To avoid exploding cordials, I began using grain alcohol -- Golden Grain and Clear Spring are two alcohols I like -- whether entirely as the alcohol or as a 50-50 mix for the vodka. One last thing, go ahead and use good vodka...especially on lighter flavors...you aren't going to make this in huge quantities and it's well worth the extra money for a good result. Enjoy. By the way, Gorm, where are you located? Regards, Tadhg ...Brick by brick -----Original Message----- From: bvc-bounces at lists.ansteorra.org [mailto:bvc-bounces at lists.ansteorra.org]On Behalf Of Robert Brown Sent: Saturday, July 28, 2007 1:36 AM To: sca_brew; BVC Subject: [Bvc] Cordialing Spirit of Choice When I began to cordial again, I harkened back through my ever faulty memory to a class I attended at an event which all previous experience was based on. The Lord teaching us (I cannot remember his name, God bless him for setting my feet on the path) said use Vodka. As I've been delving for more information, I've found Brandy also mentioned (a few other liquors as well, but predominately Vodka and Brandy). Which liquor is preferred by this August body(ies)? I'm not necessarily asking for any documentary evidence, just preferences. Also does one go better than the other with a certain fruit, nut, etc. Mainly a curiosity, but advice of those more experienced should always be sought (learning that at a younger age would have been sooooo much easier.).
