The 12 Mile and Orchard Lake intersection sees some 61,000 vehicles travel through it daily.
- Filed Under
Whether you follow statistics by SEMCOG (Southeast Michigan Council of Governments) or the Oakland County road commission, there's little doubt that the 12 Mile and Orchard Lake intersection is a tough one with an average 61,000 vehicles traveling through it daily.
According to SEMCOG, the intersection that sits just north of the I-696/Orchard Lake Road off-ramp, ranks as the second worst in Oakland County for the number of traffic accidents. Only the busy Southfield and 11 Mile intersection ranks worse for accidents on the SEMCOG list.
"We use a weighted list," said Craig Bryson of the ...

i kiss your beautiful picture
and pray to the good lord above
to open your heart for a moment
so you can feel the strength of my love .
as you lay on your pillow
caution tormenting your mind
look into your heart for the answer
seek and you shall find .
i will love you always
until the end of time
i'll hold your heart so carefully
as you are holding mine .
my eyes will adore you
your kisses will be worth more than gold
i'd give my life so willingly
if you were in my arms to hold .
i know you have so much to lose
and i have so little to give
save for a heart and a promise
to love you as long as you live .
so rest and dream my angel
take all the time you need
i'll still be waiting
until heart and mind are agreed .
i'll wait until forever
and i'll be content to kiss
until the moment you are ready
to begin our life of romantic bliss .
tonight as you are sleeping
feel me holding you tight
your ears i'll be caressing
as i whisper '' i love you'' goodnight .

Rape is Rape: Tell Speaker Boehner to Drop Republicans' Plan to Redefine Rape
As one of their first acts after taking the majority, House Republicans are proposing to drastically narrow the definition of rape that qualifies women for health care coverage. H.R. 3 would redefine rape in these cases to only include "forcible rape," a definition that rules out a woman being drugged, children who are victims of statutory rape, and many date rape scenarios.
No matter what Speaker John Boehner and House Republicans want to call it, rape is rape -- women should have the right to health care following a rape.
The House of Representatives could vote on this extremist legislation in the next few weeks, so Speaker Boehner needs to hear from you today.
Take action to urge Speaker Boehner to vote no on H.R. 3 and reject extremist anti-women bills like it that try to deny health coverage to women and children who are victims of rape and incest.

|Decomposing total IR spectra of aqueous systems into solute and solvent contributions: a computational approach using maximally localized Wannier orbitals.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 15974755 Owner: NLM Status: PubMed-not-MEDLINE
|The theoretical principles underpinning the calculation of infrared spectra for condensed-phase systems in the context of ab initio molecular dynamics have been recently developed in literature. At present, most ab initio molecular dynamics calculations are restricted to relatively small systems and short simulation times. In this paper we devise a method that allows well-converged results for infrared spectra from ab initio molecular dynamics simulations using small systems and short trajectories characteristic of simulations typically performed in practice. We demonstrate the utility of our approach by computing the imaginary part of the dielectric constant epsilon"(omega) for H2O and D2O in solid and liquid phases and show that it compares well with experimental data. We further demonstrate that maximally localized Wannier orbitals can be used to separate the individual contributions of different molecular species to the linear spectrum of complex systems. The new spectral decomposition method is shown to be useful in present-day ab initio molecular dynamics calculations to compute the magnitude of the "continuous absorption" generated by excess protons in aqueous solutions with good accuracy even when other species present in the solutions absorb strongly in the same frequency window.

Customer Reviews
Very addicting
I was expecting more of a type game where you actually have to know about cars and fix them, so at first I was a little disappointed. But, after playing it for 3 hours non stop I realized even in it's simplicity how addicting this game really was. It's very fun to play and somewhat realistic for people like me who are actually in this type of business as a hobby. Fun game, 5 start, worth $5.99 for the full version without a doubt.
Good game but its only a demo
THe game is nice, but you can only play 2 levels befor you need to pay for an upgrade with more.
Gets boring and repetitive after about 15 mins of gameplay.

Big head
I'm sorry you must be scared:( I have no experience in this-- other than my half bro apparently was born w hydrocephalus and needed an operation.. Are you getting more tests done? When will you find out if he has it? Hang in there, thee will be fine- they'll take care of him:)
My son always had a big head, always in the upper 90's for percentile. It was never an issue in terms of being anything medically wrong with him. He just got a big head from daddy

Ahmad's previous loans helped him start a new business selling scrap metal. This second business is a way to improve his income. Ahmad is an active man who does his best to improve his family's financial situation, and he even said that if he had more time, he would consider starting a third job.
Ahmad is special in his work, because his clients feel comfortable coming to his shop and enjoying a nice coffee or drink with their narguileh. His clients are his friends, neighbors, passersby, and people from his region. When he first started his business, he had difficulty purchasing all the necessary merchandise for his shop. He decided on doing his business, because he wanted to have independent work. In the future, he plans to continue improving his business.

Sports tutor Rob makes TV debut
Posted: August 12, 2014|
New prime-time BBC1 series Tumble saw Loughborough College elite sport tutor Rob Payne make his television debut on Saturday night.
Tumble features celebrities attempting to learn gymnastics and be crowned champion.
Former Great Britain gymnast Rob appeared on the show along with boxer, Carl Froch the two-time WBC super-middleweight title winner and current IBF champion .
Rob took the boxer through eight weeks of intensive training in the run-up to the show opener. It paid off, with Carl and his partner, circus performance gymnast Sita Buller, impressing with a demanding routine on the aerial hoops and achieving one of the leading scores to put them in joint third position.
Olympic medal-winner Louis Smith and legendary Romanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci are among the show's judges. Celebrities competing across a range of disciplines include Girls Aloud's Sarah Harding, Sugababes singer Amelle Berrabah, EastEnders actor John Partridge and former Blue Peter presenter Peter Duncan.
Rob said: "I'm used to being the competitor, so on Saturday night it was nerve-wracking to sit there as the coach and know there was nothing I could do – but it went brilliantly.
"We got some great comments from the judges, the studio audience seemed to enjoy it and hopefully everyone watching at home did, too.
"It will be floor exercises next week and Carl has a couple of tricks up his sleeve we'll be refining this week. Hopefully, it will wow everyone next weekend.
"It's a challenge to take someone with no gymnastic experience to competition level for live TV with a high-calibre judging panel and a public vote in the space of eight weeks, but Carl has been absolutely fantastic. We got stuck in straight away and he's been in the gym every day training intensively, as he would if he were a top gymnast – but I've tried to make it enjoyable as well.
"It's very tough to train for five hours a day. He's had aches and pains, he's been sore, there have been niggles but I would expect that. He's putting his body into positions he's not used to. The important thing is to find the limit and not to push too hard because then there's the risk of injury.
"The fact Carl is a top sportsman works in his favour. He is determined, motivated, and he has endurance – he doesn't like not being able to do something.
"The BBC has collaborated with British Gymnastics and the show will hopefully do wonders to raise the profile of the sport.
"It's been great to have the opportunity to work on the show. It's an adventure and I'm expecting great things from Carl."

Thanks for the post. I checked into this and I think we added FIPS 140-2 support for x64 Windows (from 2003 x64 through 2008 R2).
We use an OpenSSL encryption library that we certified for FIPS 140-2. We did add use of this same library for x64 FIPS compliant encryption to BE 2010.
Both the BE Media Server and BE Remote Agent would need to be the 2010 version to work.
Are you having trouble enabling FIPS 140-2 support on your x64 Windows backups?

Rated 5 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Katie, Mom of 2 Great for Travel with Little Ones Got this for my 2.5 year old for a flight and he loves it. We gave it to him early for a restaurant before the trip and he was entertained for almost an hour and that was with only 1/3 of the pieces. He is obsessed with cars, trains and airplanes so this set is just perfect for him and I see it being our go-to distraction toy when out and about. June 23, 2012

alt photo list is a good place to ask

The UV absorbance of dichromate is reasonably well documented. IIRC it is just a single strong absorbance peak around 370nm. Since there are so many different variations for Pt/Pd, I'm not sure if their sensitivities are all the same. Same for the difference between traditional and Ware cyanotype.
If someone had access to a UV-VIS spectrophotometer, it would be trivial to measure the various coating solutions...
From Solar Tech:
Yes the 5.0 meter would be correct choice. The 5.7 is too sensitive and would go overrange in full sunlight. No the PUVMs don't pick up 370nm... only UVB sunburn rays. Best regards...
Anybody feel like dropping $170?
If you are the big tree, we are the small axe
Looks like Solar Tech has added a new product to their lineup, the SunUVStation.
If a product like this could give you a reliable measure of the UV present at any given time, imagine the convenience of being able to make sun exposures with as much confidence as indoor exposures with UV-units.
The issue is whether the UV-Index is useful for determining alt-exposures. Here is a good description of the UV-index and how it is figured. You'll see that they are well below the useful UV peak of 370nm for printing, but, are these values consistently proportional to slightly longer wavelengths and thus able to predict alt-exposures?

Trustworthy reviews are our priority. Businesses can't pay to change or remove reviews.
Cupcake Downsouth is amazing! We met with them for a tasting and fell in love! They worked with us to find the perfect cupcakes,frosting, and sprinkles to match our wedding colors and taste. Maleia is a joy to work with and she makes sure every detail is covered! Every single cupcake was gone at the end of the night and the mini cupcakes are perfect for the kids!
We loved the work that Maleia and the Cupcake Downsouth team did for our June wedding! From the trial to the cupcake and decoration selection to the final product, we couldn't have been happier. Everyone loved the cupcakes at the wedding and we're so glad we chose CDS!
I love Cupcake! And our wedding guests loved all of the cupcakes as well! Service was perfect!
Maleia was an absolute joy to work with while planning my wedding. She never hesitated to answer my 5,000 questions that I had throughout the planning process. Additionally, while visiting Charleston to do the taste testing, she and the other girls in the store greeted and treated us with such professionalism and respect. I highly recommend Cupcakes Downsouth for any occasion. Not to mention, their cupcakes are to die for!!!
Cupcake was extremely professional. They were on time with everything, not expensive, and everyone raved about the flavors!
Cupcakes were provided as part of a wedding package from Reynolds Treasures. They were delicious! I am so glad I will be able to get them again on our anniversary!
Working with Maleia was a pleasure. She was always prompt with her responses and gave helpful advice. And the cupcakes are to die for! We did a mix of flavors and sizes but my favorite has to be the salted caramel! Delicious!
I worked with Maleia, she was very accommodating and helpful. The cake pops we used for favors were a big hit with all of our guests.
Everyone LOVED the cupcakes!!!! We were certain from the start that CUPCAKE would be the choice for our daughter's fall wedding. Since she was a student at C of C- cupcake has become one of our Charleston Traditions. There were cupcakes as part of all of our family visists and important celebrations, so this would certainly be no different!
Our family and friends from near and far were happy with our choice- and the Jumbo cupcake for the cutting ceremony made our new son in law a red velvet believer too! His personal favorite was the vanilla cake with dark chocolate icing, which was also represented in our selections.
thanks again for your laid back, yet responsive contribution to our event! We are most grateful!
Absolutely fantastic cupcakes!!! These were a huge hit at our wedding and we didn't bring any home with us even though we ordered more than enough cupcakes...our guests ravished these!
Cupcake Downsouth was so easy to work with. Our guest loved the mini cupcakes and I feel as though we got a great value.
Cupcake Downsouth was very easy to work with for our August wedding! The cupcakes were a hit among our guests and Maleia made the planning process simple and exciting!
The choice of cupcakes over a wedding cake, for us, was a choice of dessert preference...we both love cupcakes! However, working with Maleia Markgraf at Cupcake Down South was truly a pleasure! Maleia made sure that we had all the information needed to make our decisions (i.e. appropriate number of cupcakes to guests, flavors, pricing, display rental, etc.). The display was beautiful and we got so many compliments on how yummy the cupcakes were! We ordered 360 mini cupcakes (and a mega-cupcake for the cake cutting), and I believe we only took home about 20...just enough to save for our first anniversary.
We absolutely made the right choice...cupcakes over a wedding cake! Thank you Maleia and Cupcake Down South! You added a special touch to our wedding reception.
We made the decision to go with Cupcake instead of a traditional cake because we live in Charleston and absolutely LOVE their cupcakes! We have ordered from them before, but not in the quantity we ordered for the wedding. They were absolutely wonderful and flexible with the delivery. Everything turned out great and my family was even arguing about who got to take home the extras. We love Cupcake!
The cup cakes were amazing and looked gorgeous on their stand.
Overall, Cupcake Downsouth was wonderful to work with! We had a small snag with the delivery charge for our order, but they were very responsive and professional in dealing with the issue right away.
We ordered 5 dozen mini cupcakes for our "rehearsal" dinner and had them delivered to the beach house where our wedding festivities took place. The order arrived correct, on-time, and everything was DELICIOUS! We had no leftovers! The giant red velvet cupcake we used for our "cake cutting" was so cute and a huge hit!
As someone who can't eat eggs or dairy, I was delighted to find out they had vegan cupcakes available! My guests told me they couldn't tell the difference between the vegan option and the rest of the cupcakes choices.
With reasonable prices, great service, and great tasting cupcakes, I highly recommend using Cupcake Downsouth for your next event!

Rubber soul
The Independent's architecture critic, Jay Merrick, has belatedly made it to Dungeness to see Simon Conder's black rubber-clad Beach House - given special mention in this year's AJ Small Projects Award. 'The only thing missing in the diffuse, marly spring sunlight, with the wind scuffing across the shingle, is Lear and the Fool, ' he observes a little cryptically, before concluding that Conder's house is 'a bizarre glitch in architectural form that causes sensory underload to flip, almost impossibly, into overload - an obscure object of desire'.

What kind of firearm is this for?

I want to get an OWB holster that rides high, as high as possible. Also, I prefer it to have a high back to keep the metal part of the gun from touching the skin. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

M&P 9 with a 4.25" barrel.
I would start by looking over all the DC supporters who advertise here..
Beyond that, understand that there is no standard for holster ride height. One maker's high ride is another's standard ride. If you can't see the holster in person, one visual index in photographs is to see where the trigger guard is in relation to the belt, since grip length and other gun features can be visually misleading.
Just one other comment is that "high ride" and "compact pistol" border on being mutually exclusive terms for a concealment holster. In general, to keep the butt of the gun tucked in close to the body, the holster relies on securing the lower half of the gun (forward of the trigger guard) with the belt. Compact handguns with short barrels don't offer as much gun length to grab onto, which is a practical limit on how high a small gun can ride.
Take a look at the Milt Sparks NLG and the Garrity Gunleather 2-C Specials for a couple of examples of high-ride holsters.

Look at the Silent Thunder line at Garrett Industries (Garrett Industries, LLC Designers/Manufacturers of Custom Kydex and Leather Holsters and Tactical Gear). Leather-lined Kydex. Lots of mounting options. Rotatable.

Something like this?
"There is a secret pride in every human heart that revolts at tyranny. You may order and drive an individual, but you cannot make him respect you." William Hazlitt (1778 - 1830)
Best Choices for Self Defense Ammunition
Just keep in mind that (w/ regard to OWB holsters) the higher the holstered firearm is over the belt - the stiffer your gun belt needs to be and the tighter you'll need to cinch up your belt.
If the belt is not stiff enough (or cinched tight enough) the firearm will tend to flop down.
The holster maker also needs to be aware of the potential "flop" problem and factor that in to the design and construction of the holster.
Also if the "carry individual" has a bulging mid-section the firearm butt will really jut out lots more with a high ride.
So if you have a spare tire don't even consider one.

A 2008 graduate of PORTA High School in Petersburg is helping Haitian children use solar power to charge their laptops, and hopefully, change their lives.
A 2008 graduate of PORTA High School in Petersburg is helping Haitian children use solar power to charge their laptops, and hopefully, change their lives.
Simon Brauer, 21, is part of an Illinois Institute of Technology group that installs solar arrays to power children's laptops in the impoverished country. Brauer, who studies psychology and sociology at the school in Chicago, said he became involved with IIT Empowering Haiti in August 2010.
Several years ago, One Laptop Per Child, a non-profit that provides computers to children in developing countries, teamed with the Inter-American Development Bank to provide Haiti with low-powered laptops designed for young people, Brauer said.
The need for energy-efficient laptops came in the wake of the 2010 Haitian earthquake, he said.
"Due both to the infrastructural realities in Haiti and the January 2010 earthquake which crumbled Port-au-Prince, most schools do not have the capability to power their laptops each day," Brauer said, which essentially transformed the low-powered laptops into "green, plastic bricks."
The IIT team decided to visit Haiti in January to learn how it could help.
Afterward, IIT students with backgrounds in architecture, engineering and natural and social sciences combined efforts to design an inexpensive and efficient way to power the laptops. The group hopes to install more solar arrays in December and eventually hand over the project to the Haitian government.
"We looked at four schools to see what would be required to install there," Brauer said. "We talked to the administrators at the schools, and we came back with the information that we needed to move forward."
The team spent the spring semester working on its design and raised money to help make the dream a reality, he said.
"Due to a wonderful response from the community, alumnae and organizations, we raised the money necessary to implement at our first school, which we did at the beginning of August," Brauer said. "The design was a success, and the school is now able to charge 400 laptops at once."
But providing such technology in developing countries comes with its own challenges, Brauer said.
"There have been reports of other projects going to Haiti and learning from this experience that they put it up, and then a week later, the kids didn't know how fragile they were and threw rocks at them as a game," he said.
The team hopes to visit Haiti again in December, and eventually turn the program over to the Haitian Ministry of Education, according to Laura Hosman, the social science professor who is leading the class and project.
"What really blew me away on the implementation trip was how incredibly well the IIT students performed on-site," Hosman said. "They stepped up to perform tasks I didn't know they could do — perhaps they didn't know they could do until they got there."

Formerly a French colony with a substantial slave population, an 1804 revolt led by Toussaint L'Ouverture made Haiti the first independent black republic. However, decades of poverty, environmental degradation, violence, instability and dictatorship have left it as the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. These existing challenges were heightened significantly by the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that struck in January 2010, killing more than 230,000 people and rendering over 1.6 million homeless.

DSP Disappoints His Brother for Pawan
Fri, Aug 30 2013 05:30 pm
Power Star Pawan Kalyan is ultimate goal for many in Tollywood. Each and every actress wanted to pair up with him, every music director wants to compose for his film, every singer desires to sing for him, many directors aspire to helm him and other category technicians and artists always desire to work atleast once in a life time with Pawan Kalyan. Luckily, Devi Sri Prasad got three times chance to associate with Pawan Kalyan in 'Jalsa', 'Gabbar Singh' and 'Atharintiki Daaredi'.
DSP's brother Sagar is a good singer usually who sings in his brother's compositions. But to his disappointment, Sagar didn't get a chance to sing for Power Star films. The young singer thought of crooning minimum of one song in 'Atharintiki Daaredi', but his brother DSP has not shown any interest. Interestingly, Devi took the song 'Ninnu Choodagane' in Trivikram Srinivas directorial. Wish, DSP won't disappoint his brother next time.

Artist Franco Castelluccio wanted to create a piece to commemorate the day that shook America to the core. Six months before the tenth anniversary of the attacks, Castelluccio sat down and began working on a sculpture to honor the first responders of Sept. 11. After one month and about 80 hours, he completed the 3-foot piece.
The "9/11 Pieta," as he calls it, features a firefighter and police officer helping a worker through the dust. Each clay figure has a number etched on it to pay tribute to the lives lost in each group. The firefighter, for example, has "343" etched on his helmet.
To Castelluccio, the events from that day hit close to home -- literally. In 2001, he was living in New Jersey and could see the World Trade Center from his house. "I actually sat on my back porch and watched the whole thing after the first plane hit," he said. Castelluccio said, like many that day, that his initial reaction was disbelief.
"This can't be real. This can't be happening," he said he remembers thinking.
The piece was originally titled "9/11" during its initial stages, but Castelluccio said once he saw it completed, he found it reminiscent of Michelangelo's famous Pieta sculpture and decided to change the name.
Michelangelo's "Pietà" (1498-1499)
The 3-foot sculpture is the only 9/11 piece Castelluccio has created, but the Orlando, Fla., resident says he's been seeking sponsors to commission a life-sized model.
Castelluccio said he hopes to see his work picked up by a charity, museum or someplace where people can pay tribute to those lost that day.

Jabari Parker Throws Down 360 At NBA Draft Workout (Video)
by Mark Gunnels | Posted on Saturday, May 24th, 2014
Jabari Parker is projected to go somewhere in the top three. He probably won't go number one as it appears Joel Embiid is the early favorite, but that hasn't stopped him from impressing NBA scouts.
This 360 was slight work for the All-American.
Parker looks a lot trimmer, which will do him well at the next level.

I just noticed this thread, and given that I finally installed Windows XP last week I thought I would give try the HDCD playback in WMP XP.
I think the only HDCD I own is Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys, the 2001 remastered version.
I went into the devices menu and checked the box "play back audio CDs at 24 bit", is this all that is required to activate HDCD playback? I have a Chaintech 710 sound card set for 2 channel high sample rate mode.
I restarted WMP and when I started to playback the CD the first thing I noticed is that the volume was significantly quieter. Does this mean HDCD playback is working? Is there any other visible way to see that WMP is playing the CD back properly? I'm not really sure if playback sound better, but it is quieter than before I had checked the 24 bit playback box.

Nightmare Fuel: Dangan Ronpa
Warning! All spoilers below are unmarked.
The original game
- The executions, all of them. Have fun trying to sleep at night after you watch one of these. Let's break them down, chapter by chapter:
- The first execution we see in the game, aka "The Space Journey". The victim starts off tied up and blindfolded, struggling as he tries to free himself, only to be shown screaming as he is put into the small space shuttle. It's sent into space up toward an incredibly creepy-looking sun and moon, then falls back down to the earth again, upon which the shuttle opens to show only his bones left, and then there's the shot of Monokuma just laughing... The fact that we don't know who it is initially dampens it somewhat, but it gets worse to watch it again upon knowing who it was: the headmaster, aka Kyoko's father.
- If the relevant pages in the Reload book and the implications made by the early trailer are anything to go by, this was originally Leon's execution. Also, in other illustrations the rocket doubles as an iron maiden.
- Chapter 1's execution, aka "The 1,000 Blows". Leon Kuwata, the Ultimate Baseball Star, is the first culprit. You first see a chain close around Leon's throat while he reaches out for help, and then it starts dragging him very quickly along the ground while he's desperately clawing at the chain the whole time. It takes him past a door that ominously closes, only it turns out the chain is dragging him to a batting cage. Leon isn't even given a fighting chance; after the chain drags him to the signpost inside the batting cage, more chains appear encircling around just the right places on his body so he can't move his arms. Now why would Monokuma not want Leon moving his arms? So he can't raise his hands to defend himself when the pitching machine beats Leon to death by shooting baseballs at him! It doesn't even have the mercy of killing Leon right after the machine starts; you have to watch the machine moving up and down Leon's body from shoulders to toes and back again, while the music track conveniently plays the "wo-wo-wo-wo" voices part of the song during that part, and then one final shot of Leon looking scared out of his mind right before dozens of baseballs hit him in the face and that finally kills him. And when the machine finally stops firing, you have to watch the baseballs just slowly rolling away, covered in blood, as Leon's mangled crushed corpse hangs there limply. Also, his silhouette in the ball-rolling shot looks like his feet are off the ground, so it's possible the chain around his neck was strangling him throughout just to top things off.
- This execution was so brutal that it ended up censored in The Animation so as to not show the baseballs hitting Leon or the bloody baseballs rolling away from Leon's dead body afterwards.
- And then we have the beta version. Highlights include Kazuo/beta!Leon spewing gallons of red blood and his beaten corpse not being as obscured by the shadows.
- Now, thanks to the Reload book, final!Leon's beaten corpse is unobscured by shadows as well!
- Even Monokuma itself looks horrified when it's over (though whether this is genuine horror or mere trolling is unclear).
- Chapter 2's execution, aka "The Cage Of Death". This time it's Mondo Oowada, the Ultimate Biker Gang Leader, being executed. Mondo is tied to a motorcycle by his arms, with Monokuma driving it. Monokuma drives the motorcycle towards a "motorcycle death cage", but Monokuma ejects from the vehicle before Mondo is taken inside the cage. The reason why becomes obvious: Monokuma then proceeds to do a hula dance that speeds up the cage to absurd extremes, with Mondo having a freaked-out look as his eyes look dizzy, and finally Monokuma speeds up the cage to such ludicrous speeds that Mondo is turned into butter, which Monokuma then puts on his pancakes and eats! This one is mitigated slightly, though, since Mondo makes no attempt to escape the vehicle he's tied to, even giving Monokuma a "dude, really?!" look as Monokuma ejects, and you don't actually see Mondo turned into butter, you just see the lone motorcycle left on its side with no occupant.
- Kiyotaka's reaction afterwards is equal parts this and Tear Jerker. That scream really hammers in that he just saw his best friend horribly executed in front of him. Trying to imagine things from his perspective is just horrifying.
- What's especially terrifying is that this type of death is entirely plausible in Real Life. It's possible to exert enough force onto a human body to the point where they're crushed to a pulp (his consistency would be more akin to salsa than butter, though). Granted, Mondo would've died long before being liquefied since the immense pressure on his lungs would've caused him to suffocate. That, or death by internal bleeding due to his blood vessels rupturing as well. Either way, it's a horrible way to go.
- Chapter 3's execution, aka "The Burning of the Versailles Witch". It's Taeko "Celestia Ludenberg" Yasuhiro, the Ultimate Gambler. In a corruption of her dream, she stands surrounded by a cardboard castle and is set to be burned at the stake, a slow and agonizing death that would give anyone nightmares at the thought of it. Only, this is the dramatic kind of death Celeste wants...so Monokuma intentionally pulls a bait-and-switch and sends a firetruck to put out the fire. Except the firetruck rams her to death! The only mercy you're granted is that you're not actually forced to watch Celeste being crushed, since the camera at that point is from Celeste's point-of-view so you only see the truck and hear the sound effect.
- Chapter 4's execution, aka "Excavator Destroyer". You might wonder how it would be nightmare fuel to use a bulldozer to crush Alter Ego, who can't feel pain, to non-existence. Monokuma manages it; his bulldozer repeatedly strikes Alter Ego's laptop causing damage while Alter Ego looks frightened, and then it speeds up and crushes the laptop into a ball with Monokuma's face on it.
- Chapter 5's execution, aka "After School Lesson". In the bad ending, it's Kyouko Kirigiri being executed. Her hands are pinned underneath the top of a desk so she can't get up from her chair, and she's forced to watch a puppet Monokuma teaching a lesson on the chalkboard about a crushing machine. Only the crushing machine is real, and the chair is on a conveyor belt moving Kyoko towards it. So Kyoko has to listen to the huge block repeatedly crashing down behind her, and you see her shoulders heaving slightly and her face turns blue out of horror: Kyouko Kirigiri, the eternal stoic, has finally been broken and made to feel fear. Mercifully, the game fades to black at the moment when the huge block actually crushes poor Kyoko to death, but you can still hear it...
- If you-as-Makoto choose not to get Kyoko executed...Makoto himself is slated to go through the "After School Lesson". Only that Alter Ego, who managed to survive its "death" via downloading its memory in the main network, saves him at the last moment, and later the living Kyoko finishes the work. It's still fucking scary.
- Finally, the last execution in the very end: "The Ultimate Punishment". Yeah, you don't get to feel sorry for the victim because it's Junko Enoshima aka the Big Bad who was behind Monokuma and was to blame for the whole plot in the first place... but still, she willingly subjects herself to all the formerly mentioned deaths! Plus the "Space Journey" one from the game's beginning (where the victim [all but stated to have been Kyoko's father aka the ex-Headmaster] is trapped into a small shuttle and shot into space — and brought back, which destroys his body save for his bones). And she lives through them until "After School Lesson", and enjoys them thoroughly due to her fetish for despair, smiling madly until almost the very end. Meeeep.
- Junko's face just before the execution, as she willingly reaches out to press the button...
- Something that sticks with you is the way she stops smiling just before the crusher slams down for the last time. You can almost hear her thinking "Wait—"
- Another thing that makes this execution even worse. It's implied this was the execution the Mastermind intended for Makoto had he failed to defeat her.
- The first execution we see in the game, aka "The Space Journey". The victim starts off tied up and blindfolded, struggling as he tries to free himself, only to be shown screaming as he is put into the small space shuttle. It's sent into space up toward an incredibly creepy-looking sun and moon, then falls back down to the earth again, upon which the shuttle opens to show only his bones left, and then there's the shot of Monokuma just laughing... The fact that we don't know who it is initially dampens it somewhat, but it gets worse to watch it again upon knowing who it was: the headmaster, aka Kyoko's father.
- Also, related to the above... Here is a post that includes the plans for the whole cast's executions. Among them are: Aoi's ("Water Show Illusion", in which she's trapped inside a water tank and Eaten Alive by sharks), Byakuya's ("Human ★ Disqualification", where a hobo-looking Byakuya is thrown into a place that looks like Hell and first gets stoned by Monokuma, then ends up Dying Alone in the snow) and Toko's ("First Prank Kiss", with her crushed to death by a roller after Monokuma mocks her Mad Love for Byakuya via making her believe he'd kiss her)... Wow.
- Any time Junko appears while wearing the mask is fairly creepy or unsettling.
- The bad ending that you get after Kyoko's execution may not seem so bad at first glance, but Fridge Horror kicks in when you consider this: While the remaining students (Byakuya, Makoto, Yasuhiro and Aoi, and Touko was with them but she died a while ago) have stopped killing each other — they still never leave the school and have grown to adulthood totally isolated from the rest of the world. Worse still is the mystery behind Touko's death and the fact that there are three children in their group shot. Considering that Aoi is the only girl remaining, that means she gave birth to all three of them (probably; it's never stated when Touko died). And the four remaining kids are going to grow old and die, still just the four of them, and their children will be subjected to the same destiny, lonely forever...
- Monokuma revealing to the kids that they're here... forever.
"Eh— in addition... regarding the extent of this communal lifestyle... Its going to be forever!! In other words, you are going to live here your entire lives! That is the school life we are assigning to you bastards!""Thats right. It doesn't matter how much you shout. No help is coming."
- In Chapter 6's trial, Junko's initial appearance is shocking enough... but then she starts rapidly changing personalities, each one freakier than the last. The really cutesy one and the one where she covers her own face with Monokuma and speaks through him are particularly jarring. And then, once you reach the final discussion, she assumes a completely neutral, blank expression, and tells them of what has happened to the world and that defeating her and leaving the school means certain death. This, combined with the horrified expressions on the students' faces, is probably the scariest that Junko gets to be.
- Something about the way corpses are rendered on the overworld is especially unpleasant and skin-crawly.
- Here's an article about Distrust, the earliest known version of Dangan Ronpa. The final game had its nastier moments, but at least the kids were never subjected to things like the blankly-staring decapitated head and severed hand of one of their classmates, left in a plain cardboard box for any one of them to find. The implication seems to be that the victim—possibly Junko—was forcibly shoved into a guillotine...by Kyoko, Toko, Leon, and an unidentified fourth student who might be Yasuhiro. That's right—at least one route involved a gang killing. And if Leon's beta execution is anything to go by, you could only expose one of them.
- The final game's school is relatively intact. Distrust's school is a blood-soaked wasteland, and Class 78 is on a sadistically short time limit of seven days.
- While we don't know much about the old trust system, it had a lot of potential for Paranoia Fuel. Was it possible to provoke someone into killing you?
- Also instead of Monokuma being the monochrome bear he was, originally he was supposed to be a sadistic anatomical model◊.
- The premise of the game is incredibly horrifying. You're stuck inside of a school and the only way out is to kill someone. And even if you yourself choose to go the pacifistic route of rather living in the school than committing a crime, you still have to constantly worry about the other people. At any moment, any of them could snap and kill someone, or even you.
- The beta's premise (called Distrust) was actually worse. The characters had merely 7 days instead of the indefinite entrapment and it can be assumed that everyone would be killed if a successful murder wasn't committed. The few deaths shown in the proposal were even more brutal, and the same can be assumed of the unknown executions.
- The murders get progressively nastier as time goes on.
- Sayaka (Yasuhiro in the demo): knife to the gut.
- "Junko": shishkabobbed.
- Chihiro: dumbbell to the skull; later crucified.
- Kiyotaka and Hifumi: brains bashed in.
- Sakura: ingested poison.
- The Masked Would-Be Assailant (actually Mukuro's body): found in the garden, and gets her face blown off when Jill tries to unmask her.
- Kyoko's death in Distrust, or one possible death. Somehow, Kazuo (Leon) got a hold of a bunch of spears and impaled her on every single one.
Dangan Ronpa If
- In If, the rather graphic description of Makoto being stabbed by a Gungnir Spear can be this, considering how fond the the player would probably be of him from the first game. Just when you think it can't get much worse, Monokuma (who you know is Junko) being his (her) bastard self and making all sorts of sexually-charged assumptions of what Mukuro will do to an unconscious and dying Makoto to try and distract her (compared to the outlandish commentary he would make in-game, these are more flat-out allusions to rape, due to Junko's knowledge her sister's interest in him). Oh, and let's add in Jill's commentary about it too, the murderer who got her "bloodstain fever" upon seeing the bloody scene for good measure.
- Towards the climax of If, the mastermind threatens to reset the game by erasing everyone's memories all over again — and Mukuro's punishment for turning on her? Getting to play as herself, but with Laser-Guided Amnesia, so that she doesn't remember her talent or being part of Ultimate Despair. This way, even if she didn't get killed or become a murderer herself, she'd still eventually discover the Awful Truth and risk having everyone turn on her...
The Anime of the Game
- If you thought Mukuro-as-Junko's death via getting Impaled with Extreme Prejudice was bad... the anime makes it much worse. In the original we "only" see Mukuro-as-Junko's torso as she gets speared through the chest, but the anime rendition shows her whole body and then has her become a Human Pincushion, hit not just through the chest but also shoulders, stomach and thighs. Not to mention massively bleeding out of the mouth and falling to the floor. OWWWWWWWW.
- Due to the liberty of more animating department, they actually made Celeste flipping off angrily in the 3rd chapter look a lot more terrifying. If one pays attention, one can see that the whole thing freaked out even Monokuma.
- Syo can be pretty scary too, in the anime versions of her angry poses, particularly the one where her skirt flies up behind her as she brandishes her scissors at Makoto.
- The English lyrics of the "Monokuma Ondo" song. It doesn't start off too bad, talking about how the world is a just place and how it's easy to see through people's emotions. Then it all gets creepier as it starts talking about happily devouring each other as multiple Monokuma's rise to center screen to dance in happiness while confetti rains down around them and a giant Monokuma statue. Jesus Christ.

Last July, New Jersey Governor Christine Whitman signed a historical bill into
law. The state's Educational Facilities Construction and Financing Act - the
largest public works project in the history of New Jersey - allows the state
to borrow $8.6 billion for school repairs, additions, and new facilities.
Of that amount, $6 billion will go toward projects in the 30 special-needs
(Abbott) districts; $2.5 billion for non-Abbott projects; and $100 million for
county vocational schools. The bill will provide state funding - in the form
of cash grants or annual state aid - to cover a minimum of 40 percent of eligible
construction costs in non-special-needs districts. By court order, the state
will fully fund all eligible construction costs in the 30 special-needs districts.
The law also stresses planning, accountability, and educational adequacy, requiring
any school district applying for state construction funding to submit a five-year
plan to the state Department of Education by Dec. 15, 2001. The plan must describe
how the district will address its facilities needs; its projected growth in
enrollment; and the issues of health, safety, and educational requirements.
According to the New Jersey School Boards Association, the bill has already
spurred construction fever among school districts. After enactment of the bill,
54 construction proposals appeared on the ballot statewide, compared to 35 in
the first six months of 2000. Voter approval rates also increased, with 80.9
percent of the proposals on the ballot after July gaining approval. Additionally,
the dollar amount of construction approved by voters nearly doubled - to $684.11
million - in the six months following the enactment of the bill.
In the 10 months since the Educational Facilities and Construction Financing
Act was signed into law, the Department of Education has approved school construction
plans totaling more than $7.3 billion for 29 Abbott school districts. In addition
to Camden, New Brunswick, and Pleasantville, approvals have been granted for:
Newark, Jersey City, Paterson, Trenton, Keansburg, Bridgeton, Harrison, Burlington
City, Hoboken, Perth Amboy, Long Branch, Irvington, Plainfield, Vineland, Phillipsburg,
Millville, Neptune, Orange, Pemberton, Garfield, West New York, East Orange,
Asbury Park, Passaic, Elizabeth, and Union City.
