Japan Facts Flag
Japan, a country of islands, extends along the Pacific coast of Asia. The main island is Honshu, and the country has three other large islands—Hokkaido to the north and Shikoku and Kyushu to the south. More than 4,000 smaller islands surround the four largest. A modern transportation system connects the main islands, including the Seikan Tunnel linking Honshu to Hokkaido—the world's longest railroad tunnel at 54 kilometers (33 miles). Japan's high-speed trains (known as shinkansen, or bullet trains) connect major urban areas.
About 73 percent of Japan is mountainous, and all its major cities, except the ancient capital of Kyoto, cling to narrow coastal plains. Only an estimated 18 percent of Japan's territory is suitable for settlement—so Japan's cities are large and densely populated. Tokyo, the capital, is the planet's largest urbanized area at 36 million. However, Tokyo has a worrisome environmental history of destructive earthquakes and tsunamis (seismic sea waves). A major earthquake in 1923 killed an estimated 143,000 people.
One of the most traditional and isolated societies on Earth when Commodore Matthew C. Perry sailed an American fleet into Tokyo Bay in 1853, Japan is democratic and outward-looking today. Among the top three exporters of manufactured goods, the nation has the second largest economy after that of the U.S.
Aggressive expansion across the Pacific led to war with the U.S. in 1941. Defeat ended Japan's dream of ruling Asia, and the U.S. occupation imposed a parliamentary constitution, free labor unions, and stringent land reform. Despite a lack of raw materials, the economy was revived with the help of U.S. grants, high rates of labor productivity, personal savings, and capital investment.
Emperor Hirohito's death in 1989 marked the start of an era in which Japan faces the challenges of an aging population, rising inequality of wealth, the changing role of women in society, and growing concern about security and the environment. However, Japan's economy has been experiencing continued growth after the financial crisis of the 1990s. A global powerhouse, Japan takes its place as the world's second largest economy.
Relations with North Korea are tense because of that country's nuclear weapons program and its abduction of Japanese citizens in the 1970s and 1980s. Japan's ties with Russia are hampered because of some small islands east of Hokkaido known as the Northern Territories—the Habomai Islands, Shikotan, Kunishiri, and Etorofu (called Iturup by Russia). Japan still claims these Russian-held islands that were taken at the end of World War II.

President Barack Obama says the nation should look to replicate the good, affordable care offered through Intermountain Healthcare as it seeks to reform its faulty health care system.
For the third time in recent weeks, Obama specifically mentioned the Salt Lake City-based non-profit. This time he singled out Intermountain during his opening remarks at a town hall forum in Virginia.
"We have to ask ourselves why there are places like Geisinger Health Care systems in rural Pennsylvania or Intermountain Health in Salt Lake City that offer high quality health care at costs that are well below average, in some cases 30 percent lower than in other communities," he said. "If they can do it, there is no reason why all of America shouldn't do that."
Obama made similar comments when he talked to the American Medical Association in Chicago and during another town hall in Green Bay, Wis.
Utah has the lowest per capita healthcare spending rate in the nation at $3,972. The national average is $7,026. Utah's low figure can be in part attributed to having the nation's youngest population and largest family size, but Intermountain executives say they have something to do with it as well.
When controlled for age and health status, Utah also performs well at lower costs, said Greg Poulsen, Intermountain's senior vice president. He attributes that to the organization's team approach, which cuts down on unnecessary tests and medication errors.
"In Intermountain Healthcare and in Utah, we're focused on evidence-based medicine, and we're more able to provide only the services our patients need. The result is, utilization is lower here, outcomes are better, and costs are dramatically lower," Poulsen said. "A growing number of health care and national leaders are seeing those results, and it's very nice that the president is among them."
Brent James, the executive director of Intermountain's Institute for Health Care Delivery Research, has also testified at two recent congressional hearings on health care reform, touting the company's electronic health care system as a way to reduce errors and bring down costs.
James and Poulsen are also big proponents of payment reform, saying the current health care system rewards physicians on a per procedure basis, instead of paying for quality care.

Officer Shoots Woman, Pit Bull Playing - Houston News Story - KPRC HoustonOfficer Shoots Woman, Pit Bull Playing
Woman, Dog Expected To Survive
POSTED: Thursday, October 8, 2009
UPDATED: 7:00 am CDT October 8, 2009
LA MARQUE, Texas -- A police officer shot a woman and a dog that were playing when she thought the dog was attacking the woman, witnesses told KPRC Local 2.
WATCH IT: Woman, Pit Bull Shot While Playing
Witnesses said a La Marque police officer was driving along 5th Avenue near Walnut Street at about 7:15 p.m. Wednesday, after she helped a person around the corner.
The officer heard people playing and screaming, witnesses said. A 23-year-old woman and her friend were playing with a pit bull.
Witnesses said the officer got out of the car and fired several shots toward the dog.
"The young lady started hollering and just at that time a police officer was coming down and thought the dog was attacking the lady," witness Dennis Wallace said. "I can't say that I would do anything different. The lady (the officer) drew down and started shooting. I couldn't say I wouldn't have done that."
The woman suffered a gunshot wound to the chest. She was taken by helicopter to Memorial Hermann Hospital in stable condition.
The dog was also wounded. The dog's owner took it to a vet and it is expected to recover.
La Marque police declined to comment about the shooting. The Galveston County District Attorney's Office and the Galveston County Sheriff's Office are investigating.
Wow. That's one of those, " You had to be there" kinda moments. I'm sure she honestly felt that the dog was attacking, but I'm trying to figure out how the woman was shot?
I was not in that officer's shoes, but I have to think shooting an attacking dog while it is on top of it's victims would be a recipe for problems.
Doesn't a taser work on dogs? Doesn't OC/Mace work on dogs? If she had non-lethal rounds for her shotgun, doesn't that work on dogs? All of these seem more viable solutions that keep the officers distance from the attacking animal, and none should be lethal to the woman that she thought was being attacked.
I don't know if many people think like I do, but in situations like this I have been taught to Stop, Think, and then Act.
If the officer had taken just 2-3 seconds and hollered out to the woman, this might have been avoided. I understand that 2-3 seconds might be life or death in rare situations, but the most of the time, these few extra seconds may keep you out of trouble.
I am just thinking to if I found a loved one underneath a dog . . . I think I would be leading in with a long blunt object striking the dog while I keep my distance, or I would try to deploy my OC. If the dog was running at us ready to attack, and I had no one in the background, then I would be taking a shot.
And the OP was exactly right, it is imperative that we has CHL holders don't go gallivanting in to situations where we don't have all the information. An easy example I can think of is all the stories I have heard about bystanders trying to break up a fight between a husband and wife . . . then to be rewarded by both the husband and wife turning on the person who was trying to help!

Bad shoot, bad shot!
God is love (1 John 4:8)
would not at least ASK the woman if she needed help? Or at least yelled you were gonna shoot and give her a chance to yell NO??
again..... I just posted this in another thread....
we are all emotional, irrational human beings.....
PS...please dont turn this into a I am / am NOT emotional or irrational.....
start a new thread.......... :)

Wow,regardless of intent she shot an innocent civilian,I bet they fire her,her judgment is lacking
"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country,"
--Mayor Marion Barry, Washington , DC .
I can excuse her thought of thinking the person was being attacked.
But I cannot excuse her for firing and not thinking of background, before pulling the trigger.
A better thought would have been to deploy OC/CS, first.

un-freaking-believable. That woman needs to be fired immediately.
There is a long list of reasons I came up with, but the bottom line is this woman lacks judgment, is not aware of her surroundings, and does not know how to effectively use the tools necessary to do her job. She is dangerous and will end up costing the city a lot of money in the future.
Edit: I got fired up and forgot the point of the thread. Knowing the situation before you open fire, under any circumstances, is a great idea!
I find fists & knives a much more suitable weapon against dogs than firearms. No way in heck I would ever consider shooting a handgun at a dog on top of a person, even if I knew it was attacking. For starters, I'm not nearly that good of a shot... yet.I am just thinking to if I found a loved one underneath a dog . . . I think I would be leading in with a long blunt object striking the dog
Wow, not only a lapse in judgement and failure to asses the situation but just plain stupid to shoot into the middle of a tussle. Guess she didn't have a taser she could've deployed?
She needs to be canned if she can't think to ask "Ma'am do you need help?" King-sized liability. Hope the lady that was shot in the chest recovers fully.
Tad A.
reminds me of the story Candide I read in college. The two main characters see two monkeys chasing two naked women. They kill the monkeys to rescue the women only to infuriate the women because the monkeys were their lovers.
SO fiction is still stranger than life, but not by much.
I hope the woman and the dog make it.
Heat of the moment I can see it happening, I think retraining over firing would be in order. Here we are rushing to judgement. Tunnel vision?

From the Editor: Please welcome Rosalyn, CFH Content Development Manager and Cultured Kitchen-Keeper.
I was invited to participate in a Holiday Craft Fair this month. What a fun way to show off my fermenting projects! My first problem was: what to choose? Fortunately, fermentation is something you can do year-round, with just the simplest of ingredients. And, it's so simple… the most time-consuming part is done by the bacteria!
This was also a great opportunity for me to try out some of the fun recipes I've come across recently.
I started with some Christmas Kraut: cabbage, red bell pepper, green beans, and a handful of cranberries for extra color and because they are seasonal. I added some daikon radish for a little extra zing as well. How do they look?

Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) is getting into politics again. This year is going to be big politically due to high profile elections in the United States and many other countries. To mark this year of political contests, Facebook is bringing back its "I'm a voter," button for the civically minded Facebook user.
When it returns for individual users, it will depend on where they live. The button has already shown up this year in India's elections. About 4 million Indian voters clicked that button during elections. European Union and Columbian Facebook users will see it return since those elections are soon, reported British newspaper The Telegraph. South Korea, Indonesia, Sweden, Scotland, New Zealand, Brazil, and the United States will see the option return later this year when their respective elections take place.
Facebook first introduced the "I'm a voter" button in November 2008 for the American Election Day. Reuters reported that over 9 million Americans used the button during that Election Day. This time, the button is going international, meaning users outside the United States will get to brag that they voted with more than just a status update.
The Economic Times reported that approximately 400 million users will be able to access the "I'm a voter" button at some point this year. On Election Day, this flood of "I voted" buttons helped increase voter turnout by more than 340,000 voters in the United States 2010 midterm elections, said a study. Seeing all those buttons on Facebook is a good way to get people to vote.

Did You Know?
When it was first used in English, "escapade" referred to an act of escaping or fleeing from confinement or restraint. The relationship between "escape" and "escapade" does not end there. Both words derive from the Vulgar Latin verb excappare, meaning "to escape," a product of the Latin prefix ex- and the Late Latin noun cappa, meaning "head covering or cloak." While "escape" took its route through Anglo-French and Middle English, however, "escapade" made its way into English by way of the Spanish escapar ("to escape") and the French escapade.

London, Mar 6 : After giving birth to a beautiful baby girl, Salma Hayek has confessed that she initially hoped for a son.
In a recent interview, the new mum said that she was afraid and that's why she wanted a boy and not a girl.
"I wanted a boy. Probably because I was afraid. I think women suffer a bit more than boys, and there is always conflict between mothers and daughters," The Daily Snack quoted her, as telling Glamour magazine.
But now that five-month-old daughter Valentina Paloma is in her life, the 41-year-old admitted she's loving motherhood.
"Now that she's here, I'm so happy she is a girl," she said.
"I feel I was born to have this girl. And I can't imagine there ever being conflict between us, because I'm in a state of innocence where I love everything she does.
"I just feel so fortunate to be her mother, and it makes me excited about the rest of my life, because I will get to witness her transformation every day," she added.

599 Tasting Notes
Felt like this again. First cup was rushed. Tasted great though, but I had to drink it quickly because a sip in, I got a note asking for help to drive a local friend to the ER. So I gulped the rest down while waiting for her address instructions. My Breville used the keep-warm function so the second cup was still acceptably warm but I fear that I'm going to have to reheat my 3rd cup. Ah well, it was for a good cause.
And it looks like I'm going to be up very late drinking tea because I'm waiting for a phone call to bring her back to her house and who knows how long that will take. Depending, I might just stay up all night, though that will make my therapy appointment tomorrow interesting.
Drinking a bit of this tonight. If you call 3 cups worth a bit. Which I do since it's one pot of my Breville (about 800ml).
It's very sweet, with my normal amount of sugar added, sweeter than most would be. The plum aspects are very faint and it mostly just tastes like white tea to me, which is also subtle. I do pick up something other than just the white tea, but I don't know what else is in here or what 'natural flavourings' means in this case. I don't hate it but I don't love it either.
I found the kitten's new hiding place. It's on the back corner of the broken futon bed in the room I was keeping him separated from the other cats. It still has his litterbox and dried food (wet food is up on the kitchen counter to keep the obese cat from it) so he's comfortable. I wonder if I should put a cat bed there.
Well this is a delightful tea indeed. I think I have another bag around somewhere in the room of boxes but I bought another one because I wanted some of the sugar plum and some kittea for the new kitten. He's a handful but I haven't seen him high on catnip yet. (He's 8 months so it's safe).
I forgot I was using the smaller mugs today so I over-sugared but the sweetness does it well, though I will do less for the next cup. The genmaicha is just the right flavour of toasty and the razzleberry is delicious. I am impressed, Frank. Truly I am.
below six month it is not recommended. Sometimes it can make them sick but that is rare. most of the time they just do not react.
What is this? A seasonal tea that I don't actually hate? Will wonders never cease?
Really, this doesn't come across as pumpkin to me at all but it's named seasonally so it counts! The ingredients confuse me and I was a little hesitant because of the rooibos and melon but I went looking for a holiday tea without ginger or cinnamon or cloves and such and Mahamosa certainly delivered.
I brewed up basically my whole sample in the Breville and only after I poured it into my cup did I realize I had no milk. So first cup, no milk, just sugar. Tastes super sweet (which I like). Sweeter than a tea ordinarily would with the amount of sugar that I added. I think it is the melon. And it is super surprising that I even like the melon because I ordinarily don't like any kind of melon at all, although I will tolerate watermelon. It doesn't sit on my most-hated melon list though, that belongs to cantaloupe.
I don't even like rooibos all that much and I can hardly taste it at all in here, it's so far in the background of flavours. As I let my tongue still after the aftertaste has lingered a while I get sort of a rooibos-y feel but that's it.
Now I need to get my fat ass off the couch and evict the adorable kitties out of my lap (15 year age difference and they are cuddling like no tomorrow) and go to the store because I've been away for a week and a half and the cat sitter cleaned my fridge and there is now nothing in it at all beyond some apple sauce and chocolate soy milk and maple syrup. Seriously, that's all that I have. And some weird weird soda from I don't know when. But anyway, yes milk.
And I keep hearing about tea soda being made so I'm going to buy some soda water too just to try it out because I am damn curious.
Tea obsession back into full swing. I missed ye.
Let's put this in the right category this time.
This originally mediocre tea is definitively not improved by altitude. It cools too quickly on the steep and I only had cream available on the aircraft and not milk and I've heard that tastebuds are funny that high so I don't know exactly what was wrong but it was all wrong. But it was something to drink so I drank it and it's resteep because it was a 6+ hour plane ride and I needed to stay hydrated and I was tired of water. C'est la vie.
I think that all of the Tazo filterbags have been reformulated. Pre-Starbucks they were pretty good (for filterbags). I've noticed that the newer (post-Starbucks acquisition) white enveloped varieties (in the whitish boxes) are not very good. The whole leaf sachets in the tins are pretty good, though. It's all very confusing because they use the same names but the compositions of the sachets and the filter bags are not the same.
So I was trapped in an airplane for more than 6 hours (all flying time, gotta love cross-country trips, coast to coast) and this was offered up under the tea selections. Since they had no hot chocolate and I was thirsty for something that was not water, I gave it a try.
First time I've flown first class on my own dime so I was trying to appreciate the super service. Seriously, I'm thinking of calling the airline to commend one of the flight attendants. I got a really nice real ceramic mug and a short juice glass to put the bag in afterward.
I steeped this tea for the 5 minutes that the package stated and it tasted very very tart. I didn't taste any ginger or licorice root but there was orange flavour and definitely hibiscus all over this. I added a couple of sugars to try to tone down the hibiscus (seriously, how much sugar is in one of those sugar packets, can't be a teaspoon) and it was marginally better. Added some sweetness obviously and the orange flavour came through more as well as the lemongrass which I do not approve of in this brew at all.
Second steep at 7 minutes was very lightly flavoured orange water that was not worth the steep but I had to try. Drank it anyway. Gotta stay hydrated on an airplane!
Late at night, just called the New Year. I have an early flight so I just decided to stay up and drink tea.
My second tea of the new year, this came in the first steepster select package. I could not get the temp exact in a regular kettle so this poured at 180 degrees F according to the repurposed meat thermometer. Hey, we use what we got.
This smells very oolong and quite floral. I'm fairly new to oolongs in general so this note might be a bit uninspired. Still pretty much in the 'it tastes like a green oolong' phase of oolongs.
This is a bit roasty and a little bit cloying from the flower, I suppose lilac. It's quite interesting. I added a bit of sugar to bring out the flavour for me and I'm drinking it quite hot for me. Cooled down a bit brings out more of the oolong for me though there is still a bit of lilac aftertaste. If further steeps are better or worse I will edit.
Drinking this up, is it a sip down if we don't know if we have more in the giant box of tea in my living room and I have no intention go looking for it? This tea bag came in my catalogue a while ago and traveled with me to Mass.
This is actually really quite pleasant. I would drink this again absolutely. I don't pick up much of the tea base but the fruit flavours are lovely, sweet and tart in equal measures. It perhaps tastes a bit medicinal in the after aftertaste but I'm someone who likes cherry cough drops so I'm okay with that. Would like to try again with the correct water to teabag ratio because I was just guessing with this one. Perhaps in the future.
My first impression of the dry leaf is that it is extremely smelly. Smells like traditional Xmas but I don't actually like traditional Xmas smells so there's that. Very smelly. If I liked it I might say aromatic, but I don't.
Well now that it has cooled down a bit, I don't hate it. It finishes with cinnamon which I am not a fan of but it is not overwhelming. The bergamot is strong enough to turn my mother off when she took a sip. It kind of tastes like stale crackers with an aftertaste of spice to me. Not very appealing since my last experience with stale crackers involved a meal worm in it. Yesterday. So this is 0 for 3 for this Verdant box for me. Hopefully January will be better.
I need to fix this tea entry when I get back to having a real computer.
This is a really deep intense rich black tea out of Kenya. Apparently a Chinese hybrid varietal. Very interesting. I gentled it down a bit with milk and sugar and it is really quite pleasant. I'll start heating water up for the second steep in a minute but the first was very very nice. Ever since I discovered Justea, I have found a fondness for nice Kenyan teas. Also any of my friends living in Vancouver BC should PM me, speaking of Justea.
ETA: 2nd steep was good but the 3rd was really weak. A two steep tea for me.
lol if i lived in vancouver i'd bug you. I'm really like justea's kenyan black. it's on the reorder list at some point :)
It's a thing actually. A tea cupping class I got from supporting their most recent campaign that I can't get to so I thought I'd offer it to the people on here. If it weren't a week long in the evenings I'd drive up myself.
Sil – I… bought the 3 pack so I can share some Justea with you, or slip some into a little envelope once it shows up here.
Starfevre – that's too bad about missing the cupping class! That sounds like it'd be quite the experience.

Re: Curiosity concerning transformation rules for List
Hi Janos,
I agree it's possible to simply apply my example transformation rule to
any expression using ReplaceAll. However, I am interested in whether
it's possible to attach this transformation rule to a Symbol such that
it is always applied. Please see my clarifying post at

Wildcats Chomp Gators 61-57
Kentucky jumped out to a quick 11-2 lead over the No. 11 Gators Saturday in the final game of the regular season, but Florida went to the press and solidified their shooting accuracy on a 7-0 run to get back in the contest.
Florida got their first lead of the game late in the first half, and entered halftime tied at 31-all.
The Wildcats came out fierce and fresh to start the second, but Willie Cauley-Stein picked up his fourth foul early, sending him to the bench and allowing Florida to drive to the basket with more ease.
The result was the Gators going on a 19-5 run to take their biggest lead of the game, seven points, which they held for several minutes as Kentucky began to get fatigued.
With 5:00 left on the clock, Archie Goodwin breathed life into the Wildcats, sparking a 7-0 run to knot it up with less than four minutes left in regulation.
As streaky as Florida was playing in front of a rowdy Rupp Arena, senior Erik Murphy played very well, finishing with 17 points and adding 10 rebounds.
As the clock began to wind down, the Gators appeared to get overwhelmed, turning the ball over possession after possession and were scoreless for the final 7:33 of play. A sound defensive effort kept Florida in the game, and Kentucky's offensive attack at bay.
With less than a minute left and nursing a one-point lead, Goodwin was sent to the line and made one-of-two FTs.
Errant shooting, lack of rebounding, and mistakes came back to haunt Florida once again as the Gators turned the ball over with 10.8 seconds left. The Wildcats' best free throw shooter Julius Mays made both, sealing the victory in Lexington for the home team.

The Chinese government is so concerned in proving to the world the Dalai Lama is part of some grand conspiracy aimed to obtaining independence for Tibet, it is incapable of ever actually listening to the words of the peaceful leader of his desire for autonomy within the nation of China. Once again Chinese official sources claim the Dalai Lama is on a global tour aimed at pushing the idea of a "China threat" to the West. China insists, "some forces want to use Dalai clique to put greater pressure on China" by internationalizing the Tibet issue. It is upset the "Dalai clique" wants an investigation into events of the March riots in Tibet. The bottom line, according to Beijing, is that "after five decades of life in exile, the Dalai clique has learned how to cater to the West by flaunting human rights, peace, environment protection and culture, among others."
Perhaps, there is another way to examine the issue of spending half a century in exile. Perhaps, the Dalai Lama seeks to achieve peace for his people and some form of protection of their cultural values within the greater context of life in a Chinese nation. Perhaps, there is no "clique," but only frustrated people seeking to reconcile their desires for a peaceful resolution of issues.

Ah, lovely Disney. All the animated films has been a huge part of my childhood, and I still love them today. Disney has often been said to be the haoppiest place on Earth... WRONG! You really thought everything was all and all in Disney's universe? You better think again! You may not want to admit it, but Disney has given us some terrifying moments as well. So check your wardrobe, look under your bed, close the door and hold onto your pillow as I'll take you through a terrifiying list that not even Satan can stand to look at. There's no escape now, as I'll go through what I consider to be the scariest moments in Disney. MUHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH.
Beauty and the Beast: The uninvited guest + more
This isn't just the only scene from this fantastic film that scares me. But I'll get to that later. It all starts with Belle's father setting off to the forest on his way to the town to show off his magnificent creation. Already there I am scared. It gets even scarier when it gets dark and the wolves come. Maurice and Philippe runs for their Life. They get separated as Philippe (the horse) runs back to the village while Maurice keeps on running away from the nasty wolves. And then, he gets through a gate that leads to a castle. So after getting rid of the wolves, he looks up at the might castle as the horrifying music kicks in. For just a few years ago I realized that the Beast may have been up there at the balcony and looked down on him, without Maurice even noticing it. That makes it even scarier D:
Maurice steps into the castle which at first seems empty. But then he is introduced by the service peope who has been transformed into different objects, such as a lantern and a clock. They give him a warm welcome. The beast is at the staircase and sees him entering his room. Maurice sits down at his chair and has a good time untill all light's out and the Beast steps in, making a fearsome growling. Maurice looks at his right and then at his left only to find a pissed off Beast that takes him and throws him into the dungeons.
Later on when Belle gets there to rescue her father, she is caught by the Beast and that just leads to another really scary moment that nearly made me shit my pants as a kid. Belle asks him to step into the light to reveal himself. Just that Little scene terrified me. There's another one in the beginning when they show some pictures of the old lady's visit. Just that little scene when the prince's hand turns into claws is scary
Dumbo: Pink elephants on parade
I don't have much to say about this one. I think we all can simply agree on that this scene here was pretty scary for us as a kid. Now as an adult I just find the scene to be genuine. But our younger self didn't think so when we first saw it. Word of advice: DON'T get drunk, or this may happen to you.
Pinocchio: The donkey transformation
Not much to say. I think I rather let this scene speak for itself. OK, perhaps a little info. Pinocchio has been taken away to Pleasure Island, a "happy" place for young boys to do adult-oriented things like smoking and drinking beer. Pinocchio relaxes while he's talking to his new friend Frankie. But Frankie then takes a sip from his beer and slowly turns into a donkey without first noticing it. Pinocchio does, and does the smart choice to NOT drink from the beer. Frankie then panics as he struggles with the horrible transformation.
But before that, there's a sad and dark scene where lots of boys-turned-into-donkeys are caged and are ready to be shipped :'(
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: The haunting forest and the queen's transformation
First, Snow White is singing as if everything is fine. But behind her lurks the huntsman that has been sent by the Queen to murder her and get her heart. But he syas he can't do it, cries and confess, and tells her to run off into the forest and hide. She runs in panic and while in the forest all the trees around her make scary faces, and the whole forest kind of turns into a hellish thing that wants to eat you alive. But that scene quickly turns into cuteness when all the cute animals arrive
But much later on, we're introduced to something more terrifying. The Queen has grown so jealous of Snow White that she decides to transform herself as an old hag to trick Snow White to eat a certain apple that'll make her die. And so she creates a potion and the whole transformation scene speaks for itself. I mean, her fingers gets old, her hair turns white, the music goes nuts etc. Right after, she laughs, and laughs and then BOO! Shows her new face and scares the living crap out of that poor bird.
The Black Cauldron: The army of the dead
To be honest, I didn't find this scene to be all that scary. Sure, it WAS scary but at the same time I thought it was pretty cool Don't know what else to say about this one.
The Great Mouse Detective: Ratigan's true side
This film has a few scary moments, such as the beginning when Fidget, the bat, kidnaps Olivia's father But there's another scene that takes scariness to a whole new level. First of all I'd like to say that I liked Ratigan back then, and today I love him. He's definitely one of Disney's best villains. But even though I liked him, I, and I am pretty sure you as well, got really scared when he got so pissed off that he turns into a montrous beast, hungry for blood and revealing his true, darker side.
Toy Story: Scary toys
I don't know about you guys, but I thought this one was pretty scary. Not that scary that it made having nightmares, but just simply a bit scary, especially that spider with a baby head on it D: But now that I look at it, it feels like this scene was actually meant to be a bit comedic, as Woody gets scared and you laugh a bit at him. But wouldn't that be cruel? o_O
So that's it for today. Do you agree with me on these scenes? What do you consider to be Disney's scariest moments? By the way, make sure that the film you talk about IS Disney and NOT some other animated film. I find it irritating when people thinks that everything's that animated is Disney, while there's plenty of other studios like DreamWorks Animation, Blue Sky Studios and Studio Ghibli. Anyway, cheers

New Chicago Review Features Unpublished Essays by Veronica Forrest-Thomson
The newest issue of the Chicago Review is out, and excitingly features three unpublished essays by Veronica Forrest-Thomson, a UK poet, critic, and strict adherent to artifice who died in April 1975 at the age of 27. The essays are accompanied by an introduction and editorial notes, rounding out a feature that nicely complements a recent retrospective in The Kenyon Review just last year, which featured work on Forrest-Thomson by the likes of British poet-scholars Keston Sutherland and Sara Crangle; in addition to the publication of single poems like the famous "Identi-kit" and "Cordelia: or, 'A Poem Should Not Mean, But Be'". In the new Chicago Review, her essays stand on their own, and include:
– from "His True Penelope Was Flaubert: Ezra Pound and
Nineteenth Century Poetry"
– from "Lilies from the Acorn" (on Dante Gabriel Rossetti's
– "Pastoral and Elegy in the Early Poems of Tennyson"
The introduction remarks on her theory of poetic artifice:
Her most influential work, Poetic Artifice: A Theory of Twentieth-Century Poetry, published posthumously in 1978, turned sharply against critics of the previous generation, notably William Empson, and against emergent strains of historicism. The book is an exhaustive (and sometimes exhausting) defense of "all the rhythmic, phonetic, verbal, and logical devices which make poetry different from prose." According to Forrest-Thomson, such devices are responsible for poetry's most significant effect—not pleasure or ornament or some kind of special expressivity, but the production of "alternative imaginary orders." Artifice "absorbs and transforms" language, and thereby alters our experience of the world language mediates. To see this potential requires the suspension of dominant forms of interpretation—paraphrase, conceptualization, contextualization. Forrest-Thomson calls such critical response "bad naturalization."
"Good naturalization," on the other hand, begins at the level of nonmeaningful structure itself, moving outward to semantic content and eventually to the "external world." By a process of "expansion and limitation, " artifice acts as a sort of filter that enables insignificant external elements to be discarded from interpretation. As these idiosyncratic terms attest, this is an ambitious and peculiar theory. At a time when literary studies is struggling, often clumsily, to find new ways of talking about form, Poetic Artifice feels remarkably vital. The essays in this portfolio represent an application of this theory to nineteenth-century verse, an archive examined only in passing in Poetic Artifice: "One might say…that both the poetry Pound recognised, such as the Cantos, and the poetry he repudiated, such as early Canzoni, are relevant to our situation today. This matter must wait for another book, though, which will concern Pound, the 'Nineties, and the great fictionalisers, Tennyson, Swinburne, Rossetti, who lie behind them." The book she alludes to, "Obstinate Isles " (1973–75), exists only as an outline and small group of draft chapters. Even in this rough state, the manuscript is tantalizing. If Poetic Artifice was largely concerned with Modernism and its heirs—among them John Ashbery, Andrew Crozier, Robert Lowell, Anne Sexton, Sylvia Plath, and Forrest-Thomson' s teacher J. H. Prynne—"Obstinate Isles" is concerned with its precursors. As she explains in the draft introduction, "I hope, by a detailed consideration of Pound's early poetry in relation to the latter half of the nineteenth century, to help English criticism to touch bottom independently again; the most obvious means is an examination of the devalued qualities of those conventions that lift poetry away from the commonplace and which both the theme and the form of late nineteenth-century poems do stress."
Charles Bernstein also famously wrote about the poet in his essay "Artifice of Absorption." What a treat to have these new considerations from Forrest-Thomson herself to read in light of this and other previous scholarship. Order the issue here.

The Creators Project: Projection-Mapping Lets You Physically Remix Music
Electricity Comes From Other Planets, an interactive installation at La Gaite Lyrique in Paris, created by Fred Deakin and Nat Hunter invites visitors to create a collaborative soundtrack with their movements.
One of the highlights of the games-as-art focused Joue le Jeu (Play Along) exhibition, currently on view at La Gaîté Lyrique in Paris, is Electricity Comes From Other Planets, a delightful audiovisual music remixing installation from Fred & Company (Fred Deakin and Nat Hunter). The project offers visitors a chance to become composers and musicians, collaborating with friends and strangers on creating a soundtrack by triggering different tracks of music as they move through the space.
The non-linear music composition, composed by Deakin with music producer James Bulley, is broken up into eight different tracks laid out on the floor of the Gaîté's mezzanine. Each track represents a different instrument—piano, strings, drums, bass, etc.—and is further broken up into colored squares corresponding with different stems of music, varying from simple to complex. As visitors move down the track, jumping from one square to the next, they trigger one of these unique musical stems, and the more people that participate, the more robust and vibrant the sound becomes. Mixing in the air, it creates a beautiful cacophony as visitors hop-scotch their way around the installation.
Each track also comes with a corresponding "planet," an abstract sculpture that's projection-mapped with vibrant abstract animations each time a visitor moves to a new square. Created by programmer and animator Marek Bereza, this visual element transforms the space, adding an air of magic, as visitors can both see and hear their movements being reflected in audiovisual feedback.
