Followingthe screening, we were taken to one of the main game halls of Disney and broken up into different teams. My group had Pascal (heck yea!) as the mascot and we immediately started playing some of the games Disney had setup for us while the other groups went elsewhere. There was a converted Whack-A-Mole game termed Whack-A-Flynn that was definitely a hit. They also had a bean-bag toss, and turkey leg toss, and my favorite, ping pong with frying pans as paddles (once you see the movie, this part will actually make sense. For now, trust me that it was fun). The entire area had the Tangled styling, complete with actors playing Rapunzel and Flynn, as well as a bevy of thugs in full costume and weaponry. When we completed all four games, we were given a special gorgeous lithograph painting from a scene of Tangled.

Since this particular article is long already, stay tuned for part two in which I recap the dailies session that saw a special appearance by John Lasseter and highlights from the round table discussions. Additionally, keep an eye right here for my one on one interviews with Mandy Moore, Alan Menken, Zachary Levi, and Nathan Greno and Byron Howard later this week.


My little excursion was a drop in the bucket in terms of experiential research compared to the five years that Georgetown University law professor Rosa Brooks spent as a reserve officer with the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police Department. In Tangled Up in Blue: Policing the American City, Professor Brooks provides a personal account of her experience, beginning with the process of deciding to apply to the reserve officer program, continuing with her training at the police academy, and then diving into a wide variety of encounters during those five years of patrolling.


We could have called for backup. We could have done a tactical room-clearing. We could have kept our guns at the ready position, our fingers on the triggers. We could have shouted at the kid to get down on the floor, cuffed him, and kept him cuffed until we were sure there were no weapons or other potential assailants present (p. 316).


The great thing about this spot is that you can take your lantern picture solo, with your significant other, or whoever you want! Tangled is my all time favorite movie, so I loved having the chance to take this photo that resembles one of my favorite scenes from the movie!

In Philadelphia and many other cities, particularly in low-income communities and neighborhoods with a large number of senior households, this has become a major problem. With the help of Philadelphia VIP, a nonprofit offering pro-bono legal services, and their tangled title program, residents facing these issues have been able to secure clean title for their homes. Their aid also empowers elderly homeowners to prepare wills so that the title to their property remains clean after their passing, and their homes do not eventually become vacant or blighted.


Even if a senior with clean title dies with a will, there is no guarantee there will be enough money in the estate to probate and administer it. The beneficiary may not have the funds to cover the costs either. As a result, the title become tangled due to a lack of financial resources.


Tangled title is a consequence of deep poverty over many generations. Nonprofits cannot help low-income clients resolve tangled titles without the support of local and even state governments. To resolve and prevent tangled titles, there must be education about the problem and its consequences, funding for legal services to create tangled-title programs, and financial support to cover the out-of-pocket costs of these cases.


Next, people with tangled titles need access to free legal help. Many legal services agencies are running on fumes; there is not enough financial support to run programs to meet the client demand of any kind. Tangled title programs are time intensive and require expertise. This comes with a cost. State and local governments and grant-givers need to recognized the importance of tangled-title issues and fund these programs.


Finally, there are significant case-costs to resolving a tangled title. Such costs may include: probate and estate administration fees, inheritance tax, transfer taxes, recording fees, advertising fees, and delinquent utilities and real estate taxes. These costs are one of the primary reasons low-income Philadelphians have not resolved their tangled title cases; they cannot afford them. Nonprofits and City governments need to work together to waive or reduce these costs. Advocates in Philadelphia have received tremendous support from the City to this end.


First up was the invitations. As always, I found a lot of inspiration via the lovely ladies of Pinterest. Please check out my inspiration board here. I knew I wanted to make a Rapunzel tower invite with hair hanging down from the tower. I searched for a template to make my job easier, but could not find one to suite my needs. So I drew one and scanned it to my mobile phone with CamScanner. I uploaded it to Scribd so you can feel free to borrow it.


Next, I moved onto party favors. There would be a mix of boys and girls in attendance: Princesses vs. Ruffians if you will. For the princesses, I made Rapunzel hair by braiding yellow yarn, attaching it to elastic headbands and adorning the headbands with flowers. The idea was to create an activity to allow the girls to decorate the hair with flowers like Rapunzel wears in the movie. The best tutorial I found for making the hair is found here, and this is the method I used. I placed the chairs at least 5 ft apart for a long braid to go on my front door, and moved them closer in to make hair for the girls (they are little after all). I had a bunch of braids to make, so it was quite a bit more time consuming than I had originally anticipated.


For my Ruffians, I made Viking hats. In Tangled, Flynn takes Rapunzel to a bar called The Ugly Duckling. Its occupants most closely resemble vikings. I made my Viking hats out of cereal boxes and card stock using the tutorial here. I wish I had saved my template for you as it took a few tries to get it right. The most time consuming part was wrapping the cardboard with duck tape. If I had silver spray paint on hand, I might have gone that route instead. Hind sight is always 20/20.


While many of us in higher education are interested in policing, crime, gentrification, incarceration and violence, few of us would be curious enough to enter that world entirely. We would read books and articles, perhaps conduct surveys and interviews. We'd gather and analyze data. Brooks decided to become a cop.


In Washington, D.C., reserve officers are the real deal. They carry guns. They arrest people. Their uniforms are indistinguishable from those of career officers. Reserve officers may not get paid, but they can put you in cuffs.


Tangled Up in Blue is about why Brooks, a liberal law professor and daughter of a progressive icon, decided to join the police force. It is also a book about police training, urban policing and the underlying causes of police violence.


Brooks's motives for joining the D.C. Metropolitan Police were, somewhat surprisingly, not to write a book. Brooks's academic specialty is national security, not criminology. The fact that Brooks is not an academic expert in policing is both a strength and a weakness of Tangled Up in Blue.


On the strength side, one reason Tangled Up in Blue is so enjoyable to read is that it does not read like an academic book. Brooks makes the story of joining the police force and serving as a patrol officer highly personal. We learn lots about her upbringing and her struggles to move out of the shadow of her famous mom.


In writing about the daily life of a patrol officer, Brooks is insightful and informative about police culture and operations. Some of my favorite parts of Tangled Up in Blue are when Brooks compares police culture with academic culture and relates her struggles to straddle both worlds. Where academic culture runs from collegial to passive-aggressive, police culture prizes plain-spoken bluntness and aggression.


Throughout Brooks's description of the experience of learning to be a patrol officer, what comes across most strongly is her modest bravery. Brooks is determined to embrace every experience. She seems mostly undaunted by the challenges that trip most of us up.


As Brooks fully admits, she is not an expert on policing -- and that blind spot sometimes shows. I would have liked more engagement with the research on the relationship between police activities and community outcomes.


In my reading of the literature, one of the failures of American policing is how many violent crimes remain unsolved in low-income communities. Brooks seems to think that the D.C. area is "overpoliced," and it may well be.


Brooks's choice to write an accessible and personal account of her experience as a police officer is hard to fault. Tangled Up in Blue may not persuade you that you want to follow Brooks's path and enlist as a part-time officer. (The job seems really hard.) But the book will help you understand what policing looks like from behind the badge.


Wow, what a great mod! I had played Part 1 many years ago (I guess when it first came out?) but I never finished for some reason. This had me going for quite some time, and I *never* would have been able to complete it without the extraordinarlily detailed Walkthrough and DM's Guide.


This series is absolutely one of the best on the vault. There is so much detail for vanilla, no haks mods, it's unbelieveable! The sheer amount of storyline, plot and writing that went into this mod makes it a very satisfying experience. The areas were cleverly designed and scripted, and it felt like a real adventure. Even though part three never came out, it still feels like there is some amount of module completition to it. Combat wise, nothing is too difficult, except for maybe the first few levels. There is still a challenge in multiplayer as well. I would recommend this mod to anyone looking for a good, story-driven action mod.
