TNA Impact Wrestling News
– SLAM! Wrestling has a new article online featuring quotes from a conference call with Ken Anderson where he promotes his match on Sunday against Jeff Hardy at TNA Sacrifice. In the piece, Anderson discusses his multiple character turns last year. Below is an excerpt:
"There are things I wish could've been done a little bit differently," he said. "I probably wouldn't have chosen to make the switch so many times. I think last year I turned four or five times, maybe. It was a little hard for me to wrap my head around, but things have changed."
He also had some good things to say, which were evident in this quote:
"It's the wrestling business, you never know what to expect," he said. "You never expect anything and I came to learn that pretty early on in my career. They say believe half of what you see and none of what you hear in the wrestling business and I think that's pretty true. I've been pretty happy with the way things have gone in TNA. There's always room for improvement and I always look back at every single match and I don't recall a single one in the history of my career where I've sat back and said, 'That match was great, I love that match.' There's always something I'm critical of and I think you'll find that with most actors, athletes and most people who are just competitive in nature."

– Christopher Daniels & Kazarian beat Magnus & Samoa Joe at tonight's TNA Sacrifice pay-per-view to win the TNA Tag Team Championship.
– Kurt Angle claimed on Twitter last night that he injured his knee in his match against AJ Styles at TNA Sacrifice. The following is from ANgle's official Twitter account:
@robertemons: I think Hardy, Roode, Aries, Daniels and Kaz and Me! Yayyyyye! I hurt Knee. Gonna Ice and Go to Sleep!
— Kurt Angle (@RealKurtAngle) May 14, 2012
– Neither Dixie Carter nor Eric Bischoff were backstage at last night's pay-per-view.
– In addition to Dixie Carter and Eric Bischoff not being backstage at last night's TNA Sacrifice pay-per-view, Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair were not there either. As I've noted on more than one occasion, Flair was advertised for weekend live events but didn't show up. The internal feeling was that last night's Sacrifice pay-per-view was the best show the company has done in several months yet none of the high-profile administrative names were backstage.
– It's interesting to note that "MMA Uncensored Live" that followed Impact Wrestling last Thursday averaged 567,000 viewers on Spike TV. The number is significant because the show featured new TNA signing King Mo and Dixie Carter and the highest viewing audience the show has generated to date.
– Rob Van Dam was not injured at last night's Sacrifice pay-per-view.
– Former WWE talent Mike Knox worked a tryout match with TNA after tonight's Impact Wrestling taping from Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. Knox went under to Devon. Knox worked for WWE from 2005 to 2010 and has been working the independent circuit ever since.
– Tara, whose real name is Lisa Maria Varon, wrote on Twitter today that she is featured in the newest issue of "Penthouse."
– The WrestleShark.com crew sent word they recently interviewed Rob Van Dam at this link.
– Dixie Carter posted the following today on Twitter:
Fans coming to the Impact zone tonight be sure to get there early to be a part of the new Montgomery Gentry music video. Very cool!
— Dixie Carter (@TNADixie) May 15, 2012
– AJ Styles may have been injured at tonight's Impact Wrestling taping from Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida as he was scrapped from the scheduled post-show Meet and Greet in the ring with fans.
Wrestling News World Orlando correspondent Scott Brooks was unaware if it was anything serious but the injury (if there was in fact a legitimate injury) occurred during a TNA Championship match against Bobby Roode. Styles was helped the back afterwards and didn't return as scheduled. The bout will air on the May 24th episode of Impact Wrestling on Spike TV.
– TNA will come out with "guns blazing" in their new 8 PM timeslot on Spike TV as it was announced at tonight's taping that the May 31st episode of Impact Wrestling will open with TNA Champion Bobby Roode in a lumberjack match against Sting.
– Speaking of Sting, he returned at tonight's taping in the final segment of the May 24th show, where the aforementioned match was announced by Hulk Hogan.
The "is it a work or are these guys seriously obsessed with one another?" Twitter feud between Hulk Hogan and Scott Steiner has taken an interesting turn. Steiner claims he was served a letter from a lawyer representing Hogan and Eric Bischoff. Hogan posted a response on his social networking accounts.
While I covered the initial comments, the words from Steiner got intense enough where I was questioning whether or not he was working. Take this for what it's worth but below is the latest from each:

– TNA is offering this past Sunday's Sacrifice pay-per-view in a video on demand replay available on YouTube. The show is $34.95 for a seven day rental.
– Tony Nese confirmed today on his official Twitter account that he requested his release from TNA. His post is included below:
I wanted to be the first to inform everyone that I have requested my release from TNA Wrestling. As a professional wrestler I have many goals and dreams that I work hard to achieve, one of them was to have the opportunity to perform in front of a live audience on national television and I thank TNA Wrestling for providing me with that opportunity. Another goal of mine is to wrestle against some of the top international superstars with the chances to travel the world and work for some of the best international companies that have the best talent in wrestling today.
I have recently been approached with an opportunity to step in the ring with The Great Muta, a wrestling legend, and one of All Japan Pro Wrestling's top wrestlers Kai. This is an opportunity that I feel with help me further my goals and career. This event will be provided via IPPV and unfortunately my TNA contract did not allow me to perform on such events. I requested that an exception would be granted given my lack of appearances but was denied. My next action was to request a release as I think it will be in my best interest.
I would like to thank TNA Wrestling for helping me achieve one of my goals as it is very few in this business that are able to say they have. I would also like to thank all the people that support me as this is just a small chapter coming to an end in my career and I have many more exciting opportunities in my future to come. – Anthony Nese
– Sean "X-Pac" Waltman has taken to Twitter to rip apart Dixie Carter.
In his Tweets, Waltman tells Carter he's disappointed in her, congratulates her for hiring "one of the biggest lowlifes in the business" in Bruce Prichard and vows that TNA will become part of the WWE tape library before the end of the decade.
The following is from Waltman's official Twitter account:
@TNADixie Highly disappointed with you as a person who claims to care. More disappointed in your handling of the only alternative to WWE
— Sean Waltman (@TheRealXPac) May 16, 2012
@TNADixie Been meaning to tell you that since your Co. tried to make it look like I no showed your PPV.
— Sean Waltman (@TheRealXPac) May 16, 2012
Im just sick of @TNADixie running around playing this benevolent role, when it's a facade.
— Sean Waltman (@TheRealXPac) May 16, 2012
@TNADixie BTW Congrats on hiring Bruce Pritchard. Perfect fit . Oine of the biggest lowlifes in the business. Treats ppl like shit if he can
— Sean Waltman (@TheRealXPac) May 16, 2012
Mark my words TNA will be a part of WWE's video catalog before the decade is up.
— Sean Waltman (@TheRealXPac) May 16, 2012
– Velvet Sky was filmed in Montgomery Gentry's new music video that was taped in Orlando on Tuesday.
– Clarionledger.com has a new Q&A online with Kurt Angle to promote tomorrow night's TNA live event in Jackson, Mississippi. In it, Angle says he's working with a torn MCL that caused him to miss the tryouts for the US Olympics amateur wrestling team. He also said he thinks he is going to keep his character babyface. You can read the article in its entirety at this link.
– Dixie Carter just posted the following on Twitter:
Exciting TNA news about to break.
— Dixie Carter (@TNADixie) May 17, 2012
– As we reported in January, WWE was not the only company actively trying to get Brock Lesnar under contract as soon as he was no longer under contract with UFC. Viacom, Spike TV's parent company, was interested in Lesnar due to the potential boost he could give Bellator Fighting Championships, as well as Impact Wrestling. UFC President Dana White was hesitant to release Lesnar from his contract back in January because he did not want him to be part of a rival MMA organization. Lesnar ended up buying his way out of his contract so he could return to WWE. However, Viacom remained interested in acquiring a "crossover star" that could be used in both Bellator and TNA. Our source has indicated that this is the reason why TNA heavily pursued Muhammed Lawal (a/k/a King Mo). While King Mo does not have the name value that Lesnar has, Spike was desperate for a crossover star, and Mo turned out to be their best available option. Many in TNA are highly skeptical of Mo's ability to raise the profile of TNA, as well as his ability to handle being pushed so quickly as a top star in the company. Spike, however, is more optimistic. With the amount of money being spent on Mo, Spike expects big things from him, in terms of crossover appeal and as a star in TNA. It is expected that Mo will remain highly protected, so that his value with Bellator is not in jeopardy. Some in the industry have joked about the signing of King Mo, as it is seen as Spike making a mistake that it makes over and over again: making questionable business decisions out of spite, after missing out on a big opportunity. For example, Spike poured millions of dollars into TNA as a middle finger to Vince McMahon, after WWE Raw left Spike to go back to USA. In addition, Spike bought Bellator in response to UFC's departure to Fox. The large financial investment in King Mo after losing out on Brock Lesnar is seen as just another huge business mistake for Spike.
– To answer the curious reader in today's Ask WNW, Brooke Hogan has signed with TNA as first reported by TMZ. Brooke will be working as an executive in the company to develop female talent. Her duties will be to help up-and-coming talent develop their characters, assist with promos and even consult on entrance music. TNA President Dixie Carter told TMZ, "Brooke is such a great talent who's really sharp and will make a great addition to the TNA family."
– Earl Hebner posted the following on Twitter:
I signed with TNA for 2013! This is home for me when I leave, my ref shirt, & boots will b hanging on TNA ring ropes.
— Earl Hebner (@TheEarlHebner) May 17, 2012
– TNA issued the following press release tonight:
Television personality and recording artist Brooke Hogan is joining the cast of the highly-rated weekly wrestling program, TNA's "IMPACT WRESTLING" starting Thursday, May 31 on Spike TV. Brooke's role will be as the Executive in Charge of the female wrestling division, The Knockouts. Brooke will join a star-studded cast of the biggest names in professional wrestling, including her father, wrestling legend Hulk Hogan. TNA's flagship series, "IMPACT WRESTLING," telecasts on Spike TV and is one of the network's top-rated series on Thursday nights with young men and currently ranks among the top shows on cable in its timeslot with Men 18-34.
In addition to overseeing the traditional duties of the Knockouts Division, Brooke will bring a new energy and direction to the role working with the girls in a variety of capacities.
"I have really gotten to know Brooke by working with her on her music career this past year and a half," said Dixie Carter, President of TNA Wrestling. "When we did talk wrestling, I not only loved her passion and knowledge of it, but the fresh, creative ideas she would come up with. She is very savvy. I asked if she would consider teaming up with me in this capacity while she also worked on her music, and I was thrilled when she said 'yes.' A big personality runs in her genes, obviously, and I know she is going to take an already exciting division of Impact Wrestling to another level."
Brooke is heading to New York next week for a media tour to promote her addition to the IMPACT WRESTLING team. Brooke will also promote "IMPACT WRESTLING's" move to 8 PM and that the series will telecast LIVE for the summer starting Thursday, May 31. TNA's 10th anniversary SLAMMIVERSARY pay-per-view-event is set for June 10th in Dallas, Texas.
The TNA roster features many of the top names in wrestling including the aforementioned Hulk Hogan, Jeff Hardy, Kurt Angle, Bobby Roode, Sting, James Storm, Rob Van Dam, and the lovely and lethal Knockouts.
Brooke Hogan, a native of Tampa, Fl, is a successful television personality, singer and songwriter. Brooke starred in two acclaimed non-scripted shows on Spike's sister network, VH1, including "Hogan Knows Best" and the spinoff, "Brooke Knows Best." Both were #1 rated shows for the network. Brooke has also released two albums, "Undiscovered" in 2006 which peaked at #28 on the Billboard Hot 100, and "The Redemption" in 2009. Her song, "Everything To Me," peaked at #1 twice on Billboard's Top Single Chart. Hogan's film credits include "Little Hercules in 3D," "Sand Sharks," and "Devour.
– Gunner announced today on his official Twitter account that he has agreed to terms on a new contract with TNA that will keep him with the company for the next three years. The following is from Gunner:

REVIEW: 'Café de Flore'
4 stars
French-Canadian drama examining two disparate stories of love, transitioning from 1960s Paris to modern-day Montreal. From the director of The Young Victoria. Now playing nationwide.
Surrealist romantic dramas tend to drop the gloves when they prepare to emotionally gut-punch their audience. While Café de Flore delivers a worthy seismic blow with one hand, it simultaneously caresses you with the other, making it a profoundly unique experience that will leave you ripped in two.
The dual plotlines initially seem to have little in common: a modern-day family struggles to cope when the father falls for another woman, splitting with his lifelong partner; an isolated single mother in the late '60s is thrown off course when her 7-year-old son with Down's syndrome falls in love with a girl in his class. As the parallel plotlines progress, frequent themes start to mirror each other, eventually alluding to a possible tie that may connect the two universes.
It doesn't demand you believe in that connection, only that you believe in its ideas of eternal love and romantic obsession, and the consequences that can emerge from treasuring such ideals. On that front, the film succeeds.
Across the board the performances are fantastic, but it's Vanessa Paradis that rises above the rest. As the overly-devoted single mother to a handicapped son, she exudes both a loving devotion and a troubling loneliness, perfectly portraying the film's heavy messages.
As beautifully constructed as the film is, it doesn't engross us in the characters' inner turmoil as often as it thinks it does. In particular, the motive behind one character's actions near the end lacks a great deal of emotive backing to make it totally believable, which serves as the films biggest downfall.
Despite this hefty setback, Café de Flore is a well-acted, visually arresting and artfully structured romantic endeavour.

A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor
Post to the Host
Host Garrison Keillor answers your questions about life, love, writing, authors, and of course, A Prairie Home Companion.
July 11, 2007 | 6 Comments
Post to the Host:
"The state of American humor is Arkansas."I'm sure you meant that in the most respectful way, bless your heart. Remember we've never elected a professional rassler governor.
- Garrison Keillor
Looking forward to your next trip to Hot Springs. Can't believe you haven't made it an annual trip.
Joe J.
Little Rock
Wherever did you find that quote, Joe? I don't remember it. I don't question that I said it, it just escapes me why I should say that when I had not even been to Arkansas. My old editor at The New Yorker and The Atlantic is in Little Rock, Bill Whitworth, and he never spoke of the state with anything but fondness, so it's a mystery. Glibness is the bane of humorists. We toss off lines because we like the sound of them, without paying too much attention to what they mean. I sure hope that quote dies a natural death.

"The state of humor is Arkansas"
1930's and 40's comedian Bob Burns, inventor of the musical BAZOOKA, would be pleased with that remark.
I've lived in Arknasas for the past 8 years, and I think the quote hits the nail squarely on the head.
No, Arkansas never elected a rassler, but they did elect quite the hustler a couple times and sent him to the White House, too.
Dear Garrison,
I am a Peace Corps volunteer doing agroforestry work in the Dominican Republic. The only thing I miss more than my future wife is your radio show. Just want you to know that.
Jake Browder
I had doubts about it comimg from you, GK. Fire the person that attributed it to you. No doubt they're from Texas. Probably connected to the vast right wing conspiracy.
Keith, the American people sent Bill to the WH, most of whom wish he was still there. Maybe he will be soon. Hopefully we won't send our most recent hustler, MH, to the WH too. I say if MH loses the nomination, throw him in the ring with Jesse.
Dave, what in the world did you do to get 8 years at Tucker? You should have asked Huckabee for a pardon before he left office. You probably need to move to DC to help Alberto.
Jake, como le va? venga aqui. Mucho arboles aqui. Tr�igale la esposa futura tambi�n. Escuche PHC KUAR. Dios le bendigas.

The detention hearing scheduled for Monday for a 14-year-old teen arrested by police in Hemet, Calif. in the beating and torture of an 87-year-old woman will be open to the public, according to The Press-Enterprise on April 25, 2014.
The Riverside County judicial proceeding--the equivalent of an adult arraignment hearing--is normally not open to the public due to the age of the offender. But in this case, where police say the brutality of the crime and the danger to the public warranted it, they even released the suspect's information in a BOLO, warning that he was considered a danger to the public due to the nature of the crime.
Police Lt. Dean Evans told the Riverside Press-Enterprise that if the two suspects would do what they did to an elderly woman in her own home, minding her own business, then everyone is at risk, as they attempted to murder the woman in addition to beating and torturing her.
Raymond Michael Miranda's partner in his alleged torture and beating of an elderly woman at the Camelot Independent Living center in the wee hours of Thursday was a 15-year-old male, who is also in custody at Southwest Juvenile Hall, despite fighting officers after they caught up to him the day of the attack on April 17.
The 15-year-old's younger partner, however, fled the west-central part of the Hemet crime scene in advance of the cop's arrival, and he was not apprehended until police received a tip about him being holed up in a Temecula hotel, along with others, who they did not say if they were the boy's family or friends.
Both youth will be in French Valley on Monday for their detention hearings in the matter, and it is expected the public will turn out to attend and find out if they plead not guilty or guilty of the crime of brutally beating an elderly woman. The victim remains hospitalized in critical condition, according to ABC News.
According to the National Center on Elder Abuse, most of the elders who are abused by others experience it from family and friends, people they trust. But in this case, an 87-year-old woman was asleep in her home when she was awakened by the two alleged teen burglars, police said. And reports have been made that the youth didn't just beat her; they poured bleach on her too, in addition to other things, which Riverside law enforcement is refusing to confirm or deny.
The Atlanta Top News Examiner Radell Smith has a degree in criminal justice and behavioral forensics.

Most people agree that yoga originated in India, but the ancient Egyptians a.k.a. the Kemetic people left behind artwork portraying figures in yoga poses. Artifacts also reveal symbols representing yoga concepts. The Kemetic style of yoga focuses on breath control and meditation. Poses are extended; for example tree pose would begin with the hands centered. Then the hands would raise above the head, forming branches.
A typical Kemetic yoga class begins with deep, cleansing breaths. This meditation is followed by Mummy Pose, enabling complete relaxation. Twists are especially favored in this type of practice, as well as back and forward bends.
Structured poses aren't favored in this type of yoga. It's more about controlling the breath cycle. The poses are mainly used to align the skeletal system. By correcting imbalances, immunity and circulation are improved.
The Pose of Immortality can be achieved by sitting on the knees. Raise the right knee and place the foot on the ground. Place the right elbow on the right inner thigh. On the exhale, twist the trunk the left, pushing the elbow against the thigh. Hands should be in prayer before extending the arms. The hands then become loose fists. On the inhale, rotate the head to the center. Exhale and move it to the left while repeating on the other side.
However, there is no reason to be intimidated. Kemetic yoga poses can be as simple as sitting in Lotus Pose with a smile on the face. Posture and breath are probably the most crucial elements to this practice.

Elsa (Frozen)
this wiki
Elsa the Snow Queen is the deuterantagonist/false antagonist in the upcoming 2013 Disney animated film Frozen. She first makes her MCF Appearence in MCF and the Princess Mystery as one of the Princesses who get kidnapped by the Ice King but later does. She is set to reappear in MCF and the Ice Queen. She is voiced by Idina Menzel.
As the queen regnant of the kingdom of Arendelle, Elsa appears calm, reserved and regal, and unlike her sister, is experienced in grace and poise. Beneath this elegant appearance however, Elsa is quite complex; in truth, Elsa is troubled with her abilities, a trait that stems from a traumatic incident as a child. When she was younger, she had cared strongly for Anna and, although she was the more mature of the two, Elsa was quite playful. However, ever since her magic nearly caused her sister's death, Elsa had lived in fear for a great amount of her life, too nervous to let her powers overdevelop. As a result, she desired isolation from everyone she cared about, including Anna, out of fear that she could hurt them, and chose to keep things to herself rather than communicate or be around anyone.
From said concern, Elsa is sensitive towards other people and their well-being, as Elsa always felt she had to be far away from people as much as possible in order to keep them as safe as possible. As such, she felt that she could not truly rule a kingdom because of this flaw, although she tried as best as possible to repress her abilities for the sake of the kingdom. Often, although Elsa demonstrates her willingness to sacrifice her own happiness for everyone else's, she herself feels irritated from the restraints she is forced into, most evidently on her coronation day when she was to become queen even though she was very apprehensive from the threat of her wintry power, and simply be accepted for who she is. It is also apparent that Elsa had tried her best to suppress her abilities for her parents' sake in order not to hurt others and to be a good ruler for Arendelle when her time came, and so gained a great sense of responsibility at an early age.
Growing up believing her emotions were unstable caused Elsa to cut interaction with Anna fearing she could not control her powerful emotions when Anna was around to spur them. Despite her moral reasoning, she came off as aloof and cold towards anyone who wished to see her. Because Anna had to lose the memories of Elsa's magic in order to survive Elsa's curse, Anna did not understand why Elsa's isolation was so dire and simply believed Elsa was uncaring. However, Elsa truly loved Anna and always wished to be with her whenever Anna asked, a chance Elsa greatly regretted refusing and was left in deep despair when Anna became the only family she had left. She also believes that she thinks she does not belong in Arendelle as she sees herself only as a force of destruction, implying that Elsa has low self-esteem towards herself in an extreme case, as she constantly blames herself to be the sole cause for most of her life's misfortunes despite others stating she is not, to the point that she labels herself as a living storm and distances herself from everything in general.
Although she had avoided Anna for most of her life, Elsa was more than willing to share some words with her, even sneakily tricking the Duke of Weselton into dancing with Anna, showing more of her mischievous and playful side.
Despite her fear, Elsa shows to truly care about her family and her kingdom as more than just a position quite selflessly, as she was evidently frightened when she realizes that she had created a winter over her kingdom when she had tried so desperately to avoid them from her danger. But due to the influence of her magic, Elsa does not like to confront things she had caused, for she has always believed she can only create winter, not remove it.
However, during "Let it Go", Elsa reveals a liberated side to her personality. Without stress or fear of hurting others, Elsa is strong and unafraid, yet with an air of elegance still surrounding her. Armed with a sense of freedom, she is confident in her abilities, letting them roam free with grace and beauty, all the while no longer worried or daunted by her restraints. In the segment, which was entirely about letting go of her fears and being herself, Elsa abandons what others had wanted out of her, including her parents, so that she can be free to be herself. During this time, Elsa proves herself to be incredibly artistic and a daring young woman willing to remain far from what she was destined to be, and rejects her own fate as Arendelle's queen for the choice of her own freedom.
However, Elsa's strongest part of herself is her love for her sister, a trait that gives Elsa the ultimate motivation to save Anna. Although she feels responsible for the chaos she has caused, the bond Elsa shares with Anna is stronger than she knows, as the feeling itself is her reminder that she is not truly alone when there is someone else who cares for her as well. With love, Elsa finds a stronger grip over her abilities in order to save those she cares about. From this, Elsa confronts her fear, and learns how to use her powers for good instead of imbalance, and in doing so, gains the will to control it.
After she conquers her fear and gains recognition from the kingdom, Elsa's personality becomes warm and playful once again, as she happily attends ice skating with Anna and the others, and even helps Anna to ice skate without fear of freezing her as well as creating a snow cloud to help Olaf remain during summer.
Interestingly enough, although she is passive compared to Anna, it is implied that she ironically enjoys more thrilling activities then her sister. Immediately after thawing Arendelle, without hesitation, she creates an ice rink for everyone to use. While Anna is somewhat hesitant, she skates without fear, even encouraging her to join in.
Physical Appearance
Elsa is a strikingly beautiful young woman with a tall, slender figure, long platinum blonde hair that reaches a few inches above her elbows, blue eyes, and pale skin (Elsa's skin appears to be fairer and brighter than Anna's skin) with a light dusting of freckles (a trait she shares with her sister Anna, though it looks like she has fewer freckles than her younger sister). She has the face of her mother, as during her coronation, she bore a striking resemblance to the Queen, albeit with a different hair color. In her pre-Snow Queen state, she wore a teal dress with a sweetheart bodice with bronze lacing, black sleeves and magenta cape, and her hair was kept back in a French braided crown twist bun. Ever since the accident with Anna at age 8, Elsa wore white gloves to contain her powers, but at her coronation, she wore longer, cyan gloves that go with her outfit.
In her Snow Queen state, Elsa wears her hair in a left side braid woven with snowflake incrustations, and swisps of her bangs slicked back on top of her head. She wears a crystal-blue, off-the-shoulder dress made out of ice with a right knee-high slit, a crystallized bodice, powder blue sleeves and ice high heels. At the back of her bodice is a long, transparent cape of sheer ice draped down from her sleeves and decorated with big snowflakes.
Powers and Abilites
Elsa is most iconic being the Snow Queen, and as such, she has complete and total control over the element of ice and snow (also known as cryokinesis and frigokinesis). With her abilities (that she was apparently born with), Elsa can conjure up and shape various things from snow flurries to blizzards. Most of her powers are unleashed via her hands, and controlled by her emotions. If she's happy and at peace, her powers would be under her complete control, but if she's stressed or fearful, she will lose control and cause great harm to those around her. Near the end of Frozen, it appears that she has gained more control over her powers.
Some of what her powers can do are seen throughout the film. In the beginning, she was able to turn the castle's ball room into a winter wonderland. She is also able to create enchanted snowmen (both large and small), ice structures such as her ice palace, deadly blizzards as mentioned above, and more. She's also been seen being able to move ice structures at will. It also appears that she can control transitional forms of snow, as she was not only able to create solid forms such as ice, but gaseous forms as well; for instance, she created a snow cloud for Olaf at the end of the film. Interestingly, it would seem that nearly her entire being can conjure ice and snow, as seen when she stepped onto the river water at the coronation fjord, immediately freezing it the moment her foot touched the liquid.
Her powers are most prominently featured during "Let it Go" in which Elsa frees herself from the fear and stress she held, allowing her abilities to run wild. In the sequence she created her ice palace, a stairway for entrance, Olaf, as well as her ice gown. During the song she even points out that her powers protect her from the effects of cold.
It is also shown that despite not having any formal training, she is capable of being a fierce fighter with her magic. At one point in the story when her ice palace is raided, the Duke's thugs attacked her and she was able to hold them both off on her own.
It's also interesting to note that in times when Elsa is truly frightened, her powers might act on their own in order to protect her. As mentioned before when she was initially attacked, an arrow was shot at her from a cross bow. Elsa's powers reacted to this instantly, forming a wall of ice in front of her to block the incoming arrow. So it's possible her ice powers may have a will of their own to some extent, where they respond to whatever Elsa feels. This possibility could explain why she was able to create Olaf and Marshmallow. Theoretically, in having a mind of its own, it would make sense if the ice powers split part of its sentience off into these external shells created by Elsa, each of whom represent a certain aspect of Elsa's personality. It also appears that her powers depend on which emotion she feels; if she is in sorrow, all the snow particles in the air stand still as if time has stopped, while anger creates a similar effect to fear but with an offensive direction instead of chaotic versatility.
The only way thought to conceal her powers was by wearing gloves on her hands, which appeared to negate her icy touch on other objects. However, it's possible this is nothing but a psychological mindset that helped to keep her anxiety and any icy outbursts under control all her life. Because it was her father, one of the few people she trusted, that claimed that wearing them would stop her abilities, Elsa believed it to be true, so by wearing gloves she thought truly stopped her powers, as a result of said belief, they did. This is supported by the fact she was able to freeze through the hand shackles in Arendelle's prison cell, in her desperation to get away, proving that covering her hands does not actually stop her power, but rather, sheer force of will and belief.
It is shown that if she casts her magic on a living being directly, the victim will not only freeze to death, but slowly transform into an ice statue, and the process only hastens if they are in cold conditions. While the curse can be removed if the magic affects the mind, the heart is the most vulnerable and if this is the case, the victim can only be cured by an act of true love. While Elsa had thought she cannot undo the frosty effects she creates, it is revealed that that she is capable of removing such curses through her love for others, as it is the warmest emotion of all.
One interesting thing to note is that when the animators were creating her character, and coming up with ways for her to use her abilities, they came up with a Signature Snowflake for her. This snowflake can be seen multiple times through out the film on almost everything she creates. Such instances are when she slams her foot into the ground to create the floor of her ice palace, the pattern on the doors that led to the balcony of her ice palace, and it is the snowflake shown within the film's logo.
At a young age, Elsa realizes that she holds an ancient power over ice and snow, and often used her abilities to play with her sister, Anna. Elsa shared a close bond with her free-spirited younger sibling, however one night while the two were playing in the ballroom, Elsa accidentally shoots her sister with her magic when Anna slipped from the snow. The King and Queen immediately seek aid for Anna by visiting the trolls, whose leader is able to stabilize Anna's condition by removing the memories of Elsa's magic from Anna. However, he delivers a warning to Elsa of the beauty and danger her powers pose if she lets fear consume her. While the King promises to help Elsa control them, the incident leaves Elsa traumatized of her powers. As a result, the King and Queen order the gates to be locked for Elsa's and Anna's safety. From then on, Elsa spent the rest of her life distanced from the kingdom, including Anna, trying to keep her powers from growing out of control.
When Elsa and Anna reach their teens, the King and Queen suddenly die during a storm out at sea when they left the kingdom for a trip. Three years later, Elsa is chosen to be crowned the new queen (regnant, not consort) at a coronation. Elsa, though reluctant at removing her gloves to to take the royal orb and scepter, is able to keep it together and is crowned. Later however, during the ball, the Duke of Weselton tries to dance with Elsa, but she gets Anna to briefly join him. While he makes a fool of himself with his silly dancing, Elsa gets to exchange some words with Anna for the first time in years, but as Anna goes to tell Elsa how they'll get to spend more time together again, Elsa states it will not happen. As Elsa spends her time during the party, Anna arrives with Prince Hans to ask for her blessing in their upcoming marriage. Elsa is startled, and refuses to over the fact that the two had just met and Anna's misunderstood idea of true love. While Anna retaliates by asking why Elsa keeps shutting her out, Elsa starts to walk away, so Anna grabs at her, pulling off her glove. As Anna still pleads with her to tell her why she is behaving this way, Elsa accidentally exposes her abilities to the citizens by creating a wave of icepicks. Elsa runs out of the castle before all the other excited subjects. Elsa's powers further reveal themselves, surprising and frightening everybody, with the Duke claiming her to be a monster inflicted with sorcery. She runs all the way to the river with Anna chasing after her. As everything begins to freeze, Elsa runs over the river, and with every step she takes, she causes the entire thing to turn to ice, trapping all the fjords in there before spreading throughout the rest of the kingdom. Elsa then retreats to the north mountain, accidentally placing a frozen curse on her kingdom as she leaves. Although she is still frightened by what she's done, she starts to embrace her powers now that she is alone, letting her powers roam free. She creates herself an ice palace and a gown out of her magic. She also recreates Olaf, the snowman she built with Anna as a child, but unknowlingly sparks him with life.
Elsa lives peacefully in solitude, until one day when Anna enters her castle. While Elsa becomes slightly enlightened that Anna had come to visit her, she is horrified to learn that she had caused a curse upon the kingdom. Overcome by fear and guilt, Elsa unleashes her powers once again by accident, but this time she inadvertently hits Anna at her heart. As Olaf and Kristoff run to try and aid Anna, Elsa demands for them to leave her, as Anna belongs in Arendelle; she, however, does not. While Anna still insists she come back with them, Elsa is forced to create a gruesome snow beast known as Marshmallow, who throws the trio out of the castle.
After Anna's departure, Hans and a group of soldiers arrive to arrest Elsa after believing she had killed Anna. As Marshmallow defends against the attack, two soldiers sneak past him and try to kill Elsa per the Duke's orders. Elsa is fearful at first, but eventually uses her abilities and comes close to nearly killing the two. However, just as one is about to shoot her, Hans intervenes, causing the fired arrow to cut through the chandelier which then plummets towards to ground. Elsa tries to escape the collision, but is knocked out in the process.
As she is taken back to Arendelle, Elsa is tried for treason, and is ordered to be executed. Fortunately, her icy touch causes the prison to become fragile, allowing her to escape in the kingdom's devastating snowstorm. Hans finds her in the storm and blames her, telling her that she had caused Anna to die. Elsa is stricken with despair and collapses, giving Hans the chance to eliminate her. However, Anna jumps in front of Elsa as her curse takes full effect, turning into an ice statue which shatters Hans' sword and causes the latter to fall back. Elsa recovers and sees her sister's fate, causing her to weep and clutch on to the statue while blaming herself for bringing this upon Anna. However, Anna's saving of Elsa thaws her frozen heart, and Anna recovers. Realizing that love enables her to control her powers, Elsa is able to use this and focuses herself, removing the icy curse from Arendelle, and returns it to summer. Elsa then rekindles her bond with Anna and the two come together again. Elsa then resumes her position as queen and uses her abilities to give Olaf an ice cloud to prevent him from melting and creates a rink in the town square for the people to enjoy. She makes a pair of ice skates for Anna as well, and the two sisters join with their friends to have fun just as they used to.

- In all the songs she sings in, her powers are present too. ("For the First Time in Forever" - freezing jewelry box and candle-stick; "Let it Go" - creating Ice Palace and Olaf; "For the First Time in Forever (Reprise)" - accidentally freezing Anna's heart.)
- Elsa's name (a variant of Elizabeth) is Germanic for "noble". It could also be a reference to Eliza, the heroine of another one of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales, The Wild Swans.
- Elsa is 21 years old by the time of her coronation, according to Jennifer Lee, the Junior Novelization, and the age difference between her and Anna is 3 years.
- Elsa may have been inspired by classic actress and the former Princess of Monaco, Grace Kelly. It should also be noted that director Alfred Hitchcock once described the cool and composed actress as a "snow-covered volcano." This comment may very well have inspired Elsa's passion, as seen in her 11 o'clock number.
- When Elsa joins the Disney Princess line-up, she'll not only replace Cinderella as the oldest Disney Princess, but she'll be the only Disney Princess to not be a teenager.
- Walt Disney had plans to adapt "The Snow Queen" in the 1940's, but after the character of the Snow Queen proved to be too hard to bring down to earth, the project was shelved. Oddly enough, during the 1950's, Disney films often used larger-than-life villainesses such as Lady Tremaine and Maleficent.
- Elsa is the first Disney Princess who is the deuteragonist to have a solo of her own. Jasmine does not count since her solo was removed from her feature film.
- Despite the fact Elsa controls ice and snow, which are both frozen forms of water, Elsa herself is never seen getting wet by water like the other Princesses have, which includes her younger sister Anna.
- Elsa will be the first true blonde-haired, blue-eyed Disney Princess, and the only blue-eyed Disney Princess to not have red or reddish hair (her sister and Cinderella have strawberry-blonde hair while Ariel and Merida are the only true redheads).
- As the oldest sister, Elsa has one braid in her hair, while her younger sister Anna, has two.
- Elsa's coronation hairstyle is the same as her mother's hairstyle.
- Elsa's favorite food is chocolate,a trait she shares with her sister, Anna.
- Elsa's elegance and quiet sophistication may have been inspired by Briar Rose.
- She is the second Disney Princess so far to wear transparent footwear, after Cinderella.
- Anna and Elsa will be the fourth and fifth Disney Princesses to have their films take place in the 1800s. Cinderella, Ariel and Rapunzel all live in the 19th century as well.
- Elsa bears some similarities to Merida.
- Both feel bad for their actions they made (Merida in turning her mom into a bear and Elsa in trapping Arendelle in an eternal winter).
- Neither had a romantic partner at the end of their films.
- Both know how to defend themselves if attacked.
- Both have younger biological siblings (Merida with her triplet brothers and Elsa with Anna).
- Both wore capes.
- Both had the topic of marriage as a source of conflict towards a family member (For Elsa it was against Anna marrying Hans whom she had just met, and for Merida it was against her mother marrying her off to one of the princes of the allying tribes), both which resulted in an argument.
- Contrary to how most adaptations portray her, this version of the Snow Queen is not a villain, since the Snow Queen in the original fairy tale was not intended to be evil. Because of this, the real villain of the film is someone else (the two antagonists, Hans and the Duke of Weselton). Also, the fairy tale involved an evil troll (implied to represent Satan) building a mirror which he will use to turn everyone evil, only to accidentally smash it in the process, and one of the shards ending up hitting Kai. However, the Queen's usual villain portrayal may have been due to the fact that she is either merged with Satan or have Satan removed altogether as children would not want to hear about the Devil in a fairy tale. The Queen was based on a woman Hans Christian Andersen personally hated for being shrewd and distant.
- Elsa may have been based on Kai, from the original "Snow Queen" fairy tale, who after ends up being kidnapped by the title Queen after he is unexpectedly stabbed by one of the broken shards of a magic mirror created by an evil troll which he was supposed to use to corrupt people and becoming cold and resentful, therefore prompting Gerda to try and rescue him, combined with the Snow Queen herself. In some adaptations, Kai and Gerda are actually siblings.
- If that is the case, Elsa is the first Disney Princess to be based on a female and a male character from the source material.
- Elsa, and the Snow Queen from the 2005 anime of the same name are the only two incarnations of the character to be portrayed as heroic characters.
- At one point, Elsa was going to be the main character, where she is the cold-hearted queen of her own kingdom who despised anyone around her, freezing anyone who crosses her path, and just wanted to be alone until she was softened by a kind-hearted man.
- At another point, Elsa was going to be portrayed as a villain when the film was going to be a straightforward adaptation of "The Snow Queen", where she and Anna are unrelated, and she and Kai were separate characters. Eventually, they decided to make the Snow Queen and "Gerda" sisters, to give the Queen depth. She would still be a villain but would ultimately reform at the end, and after the song "Let it Go", which was supposed to be her villain song, was written, Elsa's role was retconned so that she also took over the role of Kai and making her a heroine, as her motivations of self-acceptance and self-control were deemed too benign for villain to have. During various rewrites, Elsa's personality was originally very similar to that of Denahi's from Brother Bear, where instead of being caring, vulnerable and misunderstood, and constantly fearing her powers and blaming everything on herself, she would have been very arrogant, shrewd and resentful, and constantly angry for holding her powers back and constantly blaming everything on everyone including Anna, and would have made her the first villain to be biologically related to a Princess (much like what once happened to Ursula). Her evolving concept designs even reinforce this: her first concept art (made in the early 2000s), depicted her with an apparently sinister design not unlike Jadis the White Witch and appearing less humanlike, while her final design gave her a more angelic appearance. Also, Hans, the film's real villain, was created very late in development for this reason.
- Elsa appears to be the ultimate inversion of the evil queen stereotype. While she shows some antagonistic traits and behavior, such as the ability to produce dangerous magic spells, having an unusually voluptuous design, and having her song "Let it Go" sound like a typical villain song despite her not singing about anything with malicious intent, she is actually good-hearted but misunderstood, and such behavior was most likely out of self-defense, and has not malicious intentions whatsoever. In fact, the only negative traits applied to her is fear and isolation, which in comparison to most traits of the stereotype, are the least malicious. She is even going to be the 13th Disney Princess, which is appropriate since 13 is often considered unlucky, (this also includes how many years she has isolated herself from the public and Anna), and the film was released in 2013.
- Elsa's design resembles that of Queen Jadis the White Witch, as they are both females with ice-based powers. However, unlike Jadis, Elsa is not really evil, just misguided.
- Idina Menzel, Elsa's voice actress, also originated the role of Elphaba from the musical Wicked (a musical that Melissa Fahn was in as well, as an understudy actress for the main actress that played Glinda). It should also be noted that both Elphaba and Elsa appear to have similar motivations, as do Anna and Glinda.
- During Elsa's song "Let it Go", she faces the rising sun in the east meaning her ice palace is found in the western sky. This could be a direct reference to the lyrics, "So if you care to find me, look to the western sky" from Wicked's "Defying Gravity".
- During "For The First Time in Forever (Reprise)", Elsa sings 'Yes I'm alone but I'm alone and free!' Which is very similar to Elphaba singing 'And if I'm flying solo, at least I'm flying free!' in her famous song "Defying Gravity".
- Like Elphaba, Elsa runs away to live in a castle alone.
- Elsa is considered a monster by everyone just like Elphaba is considered to be in Wicked.
- Originally, Elsa's decision to flee the kingdom was because of an ancient prophecy claiming that Arendelle could one day be destroyed by a terrible winter, and since Elsa, who can control ice and snow, did not want to associate herself with this prophecy, ends up running away on her coronation day, only to end up fulfilling it instead. This story idea was not completely abandoned for the movie, however.
- The scene where Elsa fires her ice magic at the camera from the top of a mountain does not appear in the actual film. This is most likely to make so it looks like Elsa curses her kingdom, thus giving an illusion that she is the main antagonist.
- Elsa may also be similar to Wreck-It Ralph as the two are both misunderstood "villains" who were cast out by their own kind causing them to abandon their roles, and a sibling figure to go and bring them back (Felix to Ralph, Anna to Elsa), to prevent a bigger catastrophe from threatening their home, and even feeling bad for it upon returning for the first time.
- Interestingly enough, Frozen writer, Jennifer Lee, once made a tweet jokingly suggesting that Elsa and Wreck-It Ralph would make a good couple during the 2013 D23 Expo.
- Elsa is also similar to Vanellope, since they have been cast out from their kingdoms and made a temporary home in the mountains. Their unique ability is the reason why they were initially shunned, and both longed to lose this ability in Vanellope's case, to control it in Elsa's case. Finally, the villains both attempted to kill them.
- Both of the films feature villainous characters voiced by Alan Tudyk.
- Elsa also bears some resemblance to Rosalina from the video game Super Mario Galaxy, and later games that featured her as well, such as Super Mario 3D World, which was released the same day Frozen was released in a single theater. Rosalina bears similarities to Elsa in design; platinum blonde hair, blue eyes, an off-the-shoulder, light blue gown, and pale skin.
- Elsa is the fourth Disney Princess to possess magical abilities, the first being Ariel, the second being Pocahontas and the third being Rapunzel. However Ariel and Pocahontas seem to use their magic unknowingly while both Rapunzel and Elsa have control over their magic.
- Also like Rapunzel, both were locked away because of their magic powers. Although Rapunzel was taken by her main antagonist and locked away for Gothel's own purposes, while Elsa locked away herself for her sister's and the kingdom's safety. It should also be noted that the two have power over elemental opposites; Rapunzel representing summer and warmth, Elsa representing winter and cold.
- In the Disney universe, Elsa and Anna artistically and thematically coincide with an aspect of nature, as did Rapunzel: Elsa (the cold moon) which stands alone and half in darkness, and Anna (the warm sun) which spreads over everyone (hence her optimism and positive outlook, enabling her to make friends easily). This can also be noted, for in the beginning of the film, Anna explains how the sky is awake when there was a bright moon, therefore she is. Even though the two are different, they complete each other, hence the film's ending of sisterly love saving the day instead of romantic love.
- Also like Rapunzel, both were locked away because of their magic powers. Although Rapunzel was taken by her main antagonist and locked away for Gothel's own purposes, while Elsa locked away herself for her sister's and the kingdom's safety. It should also be noted that the two have power over elemental opposites; Rapunzel representing summer and warmth, Elsa representing winter and cold.
- Since the Disney Princesses were designed to have all the Princesses unaware of each other's presence (however this is debatable given their interactions and scenes together in House of Mouse, at the Walt Disney World Resort and in the first Kingdom Hearts game), Elsa and Anna are the first and second to know of each other, however this could be since childhood. Ariel and Jasmine were seen together talking in The House of Mouse. Snow White was seen talking to Jasmine and Alice (even though she isn't a princess), along with Aurora talking with Cinderella in Kingdom Hearts. Additionally, Rapunzel has a cameo in the beginning of Frozen meaning she knows about both Elsa and Anna.
- Anna and Elsa are the first two of all the Disney Princesses to be siblings and come from the same film, although Ariel has 6 older sisters (Ariel's sisters aren't included in the Disney Princess franchise).
- Elsa is the second deuteragonist in 22 years to join the franchise, the first being Jasmine.
- Elsa is the third official Disney Princess to become a queen, the first being Ariel, the second being Belle. Through Ariel and Belle become queens after marrying the princes, and in the franchise they both still remain as princesses, Elsa becomes a queen because of her parents' deaths, who were the rulers of Arendelle.
- Elsa is the second Princess created by Disney to ever inherit her parents' throne and become a (ruling) queen, since she lost both of her parents over the course of the film (hers and Anna's parents are both killed in an accident at sea), after Kida. Snow White, Aurora, Jasmine and Rapunzel would inherit the throne, as they are the only children of their parents and thus the only heirs. These four Princesses would then become active rulers of their homelands. Additionally, since Snow White's family is dead, she does inherit her father's kingdom despite the fact there is no coronation.The other Disney Princesses are likely to become queen consort (Cinderella, and Ariel) or are not in line for any throne at all (Belle's Prince Adam seemed not to be in charge of anything but his castle, Pocahontas' father was chosen, Mulan had no royal ties at all and it seems unlikely Naveen would be King of Maldonia considering he happily settled down in New Orleans). Also, Merida after being given the choice of either marrying Young MacGuffin, Young MacIntosh and/or Wee Dingwall (originally she ended up with the first above) eventually decided that she didn't want to marry any of them since she realized that she doesn't need a husband anyway. Anna, of course, is unlikely to become a queen as mentioned above.
- A queen consort (also empress consort), by contrast, is the wife of a reigning king (or emperor). A queen consort usually shares her husband's rank and holds the feminine equivalent of the king's monarchical titles. Historically, queens consort do not share the king regnant's political and military powers unless he or a law grants them to her. A queen regnant is a queen in her own right with all the powers of a monarch, usually becoming queen by inheriting the throne on the death of the previous monarch (i.e. Elsa and Anna's parents); they have been far fewer in number than queens consort.
- Other similarities to Kida include the fact that both Kida and Elsa have very fair hair (white and platinum blonde, respectively) and blue eyes (though Kida isn't Caucasian), the fact that they have water and crystal-based magic powers (Kida's powers are based on the Orichalcum crystals associated with Atlantis, while Elsa's are based on ice and snow), that both are queens of a kingdom whose name begins with "A", and both once used giant monsters to impede the heroes' progress (Kida had the Leviathan, while Elsa had Marshmallow). The only difference is that Elsa is Caucasian while Kida isn't, Kida spending most of her film as a princess and only becoming queen at the end, while Elsa was only a princess at the beginning and being a queen for the rest of the film, as well as the fact that Kida ended up with her own king (Milo Thatch) while Elsa remained single.
- Also, Kida and Elsa's films were paired up with the Monsters Inc. films, separated by five months: Atlantis was released five months before the first Monsters Inc., while Frozen was released five months after Monsters University.
- Rapunzel, Anna and Elsa are the only Princesses that are playable characters in Disney INFINITY. Coincidentally, all three also appear in Frozen (Rapunzel as a cameo for Elsa's coronation ceremony in the beginning of the film).
- Elsa and Anna are the third and fourth of all the Disney Princesses to be orphans, the first two being Snow White and Cinderella.
- Elsa is mostly seen wearing blue, while Anna wears green. Blue represents her powers over snow and ice and her sorrow when she is isolated.
- Anna and Elsa are the 5th and 6th Disney Princesses to be seen as kids in their feature films, the first four being Cinderella, Tiana, Rapunzel and Merida.
- Originally, Elsa was going to have dark hair prior to her transformation into the Snow Queen. Her hair was also going to be shorter and pointing upward, making her resemble Periwinkle.
- The accident with Anna strongly implies that Elsa's hair is platinum blonde because of her powers. It can be assumed that if she hadn't been born with her powers, she probably would have had brunette hair like her mother. Although some concept art show her mother as a blonde.
- Elsa is similar to Simba from The Lion King, because they were young monarchs who have been blamed by their villains for threatening their kingdoms and running away only to let said villain take over because of their absence. Also, after abandoning their kingdoms, they both start to care less of ruling their kingdoms until one of their allies warns them about something terrible occurring to said kingdom, and their villains blame them for allegedly killing one of their family members they were very close to.(Anna and Mufasa)
- Elsa is very similar to Beast from Beauty and the Beast, as they are both cursed royalty who were given fierce abilities (though in this case, the Beast was turned hideous and animalistic, Elsa was born with uncontrolled power) and both are misunderstood by the townspeople and referred to as a monster, so they try to avoid the people in fear of their strengths. Both of their film's villains also attempted to kill them (Gaston stabs Beast and almost killed him if he did not revive while Hans almost killed Elsa if Anna did not throw herself in his way.) Ironically, Anna's sacrifice depicts Elsa clutching around her sister's body in a manner similar to Belle's when the Beast died.
- Elsa is also very similar to Ariel from The Little Mermaid. Both were inspired by the titular characters of their original source material (The Snow Queen, and The Little Mermaid) and both stories were written by Hans Christian Andersen. Both of them crave freedom and no longer want to be suppressed by the rules of their societies. They also each are magical and can control water or some form of water in Elsa's case. Additionally both Elsa and Ariel wear sparkling dresses created by magic that reflect the sun's rays. In the first appearance of these dresses both characters have their arms out stretched and are walking into their new destiny's. Interestingly enough both of those scenes occur just as the sun is rising.
- When she joins the Disney Princess line-up, she will be the second Disney Princess who does not have a love interest, the first is Merida.
- Elsa is the fourth Princess to run away from home, after Snow White, Ariel, and Jasmine.
- Elsa is the fifth princess to have her hair braided, the first being Cinderella, the second being Pocahontas, the third being Rapunzel, and the fourth being Anna. Although, Cinderella, Pocahontas and Rapunzel only wear their hair braided for a brief time.
- Elsa is the third Disney character to be portrayed by Idina Menzel, the first was Circe, the second was Nancy Tremaine.
- Elsa is similar to Persephone from Classical Mythology as their absence from their home had led to the coming of winter, and her return resulting in the return of summer.
- Storm from the X-Men, another Queen (of the fictional African nation of Wakanda) now owned by Disney, shares some things in common with Elsa. In addition to having most of their stories take place while they are women older than 20, they also have similarly-colored hair (Storm's is white while Elsa's is platinum blonde). Most significantly, they both have similar power over ice and snow. The differences are that Storm can also induce non-ice-related atmokinetic effects such as rain while Elsa can imbue her snow creations with life, but in both cases their powers are so closely tied to their emotions that they need to remain in constant states of emotional calm to keep from causing atmospheric disaster. Ironically, Storm's design also inspired that of Kida.
- The gloves Elsa was forced to wear as given by the Trolls prior to her coronation as queen appear to serve as a stand-in for the mirror whose broken shards cause Kai to grow resentful and being kidnapped by the Snow Queen in the original story, with Elsa standing in for Kai.
- There was a deleted song entitled "We Know Better" which shows young Elsa teaching Anna how to be a princess.
- Elsa's I Want song is very notable for a Disney Princess for a general I Want song for them represents the Princess wanting a new life, or meeting new people, sometimes seeing new places. Elsa's song "Let it Go" is about her wanting to just to able to be herself and never have to worry about others (as she doesn't want to hurt them).
- Elsa is one of the few Disney Princesses who has not been seen barefoot. She shares this trait with Snow White, Belle and Merida. However despite the fact she is never seen barefoot several times during the film there are direct shots of her feet she shares this trait with Rapunzel and Wreck-It Ralph.
- During the song "Let it Go", Elsa discards the three accessories worn during her coronation that she views as restraints: her gloves (what holds her magic back), her cape (her authority over others), and her tiara (her queenly title), which is ultimately found by Marshmallow at the end of the film.
- Ironically, in the lyrics in her song "Let it Go", she says "You'll never see me cry", but she did cry when Anna has turned into ice crystal and her tears are shown.
- However, it should be noted that when Elsa sang the line, she meant she won't cry because she's out alone; she's happy, she at last can be herself, by herself.
- And Anna was the entire reason why Elsa held her powers –– her entire self –– back, and now, after trying so hard to, "conceal, don't feel," she ends up losing the only person she really cares about. Thus, she is heartbroken at the thought of losing the only family member she has left, her best friend, her sister.
- Even more ironic, Kristoff, who openly announced that he will cry when he was stunned in awe upon witnessing the beauty of Elsa's magically constructed ice palace, never really cried during the movie, or maybe he did not cry to the point that his tear would drop, as if one look closely, Kristoff's eyes were already glittering with tears and was halted when Sven attempted to walk across the icy stair bridge that clearly was not meant for hoofed visitors, which to Kristoff's distraction, tried to resolve.
- Elsa is similar to Periwinkle:
- Both have very fair hair - Peri's is white and Elsa's is platinum blonde.
- Both have a small bang down their forehead.
- Both have power over ice and snow.
- Both have a sister (Anna and Tinker Bell). Their sisters are the main protagonists of both movies respectively.
- Elsa, along with Daisy Duck and Megara, is one of few Disney heroines to sport eye shadow.
- Elsa is also similar to Mirana the White Queen from Alice in Wonderland (2010) as they are both pale-skinned, fair-haired queens who never intend to hurt their subjects.
- It is also stated in the book A Sister More Like Me that Elsa loves geometry. This is shown when she uses her knowledge of geometry to create her ice palace.
- The scene where Elsa and Anna were playing in the Great Hall, which was made into a winter wonderland with Elsa's winter magic, may also be a hint towards the ending, when after being accepted by the citizens and visitors for her magical nature, she turns the courtyard into an ice rink, even asking if they are ready, being only slightly different between the two times: "Ready?" as a child, and "Are you ready?" as an adult.
- The Great Hall is also where Anna learns about Elsa's winter magical nature once again, along with the citizens and the visitors. While as children it would be a happy experience, as adults it would be a terrifying experience for the citizens, visitors, Anna and more importantly for Elsa.
- The vision Pabbie shows Elsa about her abilities seems to hint what would happen in the future. The image of the adult Elsa in her Snow Queen state, her magic and the people in blue appears to hint the citizens of Arendelle and its visitors accepting her for her beautiful winter magic which is controlled with love (the ending), but when her magic and the people attacking Snow Queen Elsa in red hints that once her powers, controlled by fear, are revealed to the public, they will become afraid of her, see as a monster, and then some will even try to kill her or have her killed (Hans, the Duke of Weselton and his thugs).
- Ironically, her and Anna's film was released during an unusually cold winter, causing fans to joke about Elsa causing that winter.
- Because of her abilities, Elsa is considerably one of the most powerful Disney characters; arguably equal in power to Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty.
- In "MCF: The Princess Test", she is seen and spoken for a brief possible cameo. However, in "MCF and the Ice Queen", she meets Prince Dylan, a friend whom the girls met in the former who becomes her love interest. This is a reference to both Elsa's inspiration Elphaba(Idina MenzeI) falling in love with Fiyero(Norbert Leo Butz) because of their actors.
- In some MCF stories it is revealed that Tricia is a childhood friend of Elsa and also, as an adult her speaking voice is Idina Menzel who voices Elsa. This is confirmed in MCF: The Mystery of Tracy and Tricia where it shows Elsa in her teens attending Tricia's party.

Associated Press photo by Matthew Hinton -- One of 17 simple, larger-than-life stick-figure sculptures is unloaded Monday in New Orleans. The statues will be used to call attention to evacuation pickup points for residents who need transportation out of town when a hurricane evacuation is ordered. The figures were designed by Boston artist Douglas Kornfeld, bottom center, who was selected for the work by the Arts Council of New Orleans. Helping unload are James Pellegrin and his son, on the forklift, James Pellegrin Jr. The Arts Council is working with Evacuteer.org, an organization that coordinates volunteers who help with the massive evacuation effort that accompanies a hurricane threat. Associated Press photo by Matthew Hinton -- Pieces of 17 simple, larger-than-life stick-figure sculptures are unloaded Monday in New Orleans. The statues will be used to call attention to evacuation pickup points for residents who need transportation out of town when a hurricane evacuation is ordered. KEVIN McGILL| Associated Press Comments NEW ORLEANS Seventeen 850-pound stainless steel sculptures arrived in New Orleans on Monday for installation around the city, where they will serve as permanent public art with a purpose: calling attention to pick-up points for residents who need transportation out of town if a pending hurricane leads to an evacuation. Boston artist Douglas Kornfeld's creations are larger-than-life stick figures, each with an upstretched arm, suggesting someone hailing a cab or a bus. His design was selected in a competition organized by the Arts Council of New Orleans, which also put up half of the $200,000 cost of the project. The remainder was raised in donations by another nonprofit, Evacuteer.org, a group that aids the city in rounding up and training volunteers who coordinate evacuations of people who lack personal transportation. "It just seemed logical," said Kornfeld, who helped supervise as workers used forklifts and slings to hoist each 14-foot-tall statue from a flatbed truck onto a loading dock. "When you start reading about what they wanted, they wanted to give people rides." Evacuteer.org got started in 2008 after Hurricane Gustav, as the city continued refining an evacuation system in which problems were dramatically laid bare during Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The new 14-foot-tall steel figures made in Ohio soon will be anchored in concrete to supplant the simple street signs now marking evacuation points. "We're still shooting for getting them all installed by June 1 and the start of hurricane season," said David Morris, a political consultant who donates time to Evacuteer.org. Kornfeld had to come with a design that was durable as well as aesthetically pleasing and in keeping with the purpose. The street side evacuation art, he said, will be able to withstand weather, vandals or an errant driver. "You could hit it with a truck," Kornfeld said. Although the art has a serious purpose, Kornfeld said he didn't want it to evoke fear or anxiety in storm-battered New Orleans when another potential disaster is imminent. He said he knew he had hit on a successful concept last year as he made his pitch to the Arts Council panel assembled to choose the winning design. A person on the street with an upstretched arm can often have a happier meaning in New Orleans, he learned. "Somebody goes, 'You know, that's what people do when they want people to throw them beads at Mardi Gras?' " Kornfeld recalled. "And I went: 'I won.' " Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

@Munwar H
The first time I took IELTS in British Council Dhaka in 2009 and achieved an Average Band score of 7.5.
Then I moved to London in 2010 and attempted IELTS again for the second time (because the test result has a 2 year validity period) at the BITE centre in 2011.
This time I got 8.5 in Listening, 9.0 in Reading, 7.5 in Writing and 8.0 in Speaking. Overall 8.5.

You speak really nicely. I am doing the test in a few weeks and I am trying to practice but It gets hard if you don't have so many people to talk to.
I have to get 6.5 overall. I am practicing with a lot of tests (original Cambridge ones) and they are going pretty well I think.
I wish I get the score I want or higher
Thanks for the video.
It took time
All the best. I hope you get the score you are aiming at. Let me know if you do
You are welcome
Thanks Syed
Now I got the pattern of speaking test which hopefully will help me to prepare myself.
Dear Syed,
Actually, this video is very useful because you are just explaining your own experiences as an individual who speaks English as a secondary language. It seems that you are actually very fluent in managing English language, and please let me know about how you improved your speaking skills to such a remarkable degree within your context. Please comment on it. Actually, I have a limited chance to practice English daily.
Good Luck to You all the time,
Bimal from Sri Lanka
Thanks a lot for posting this useful, insightful video. My test is in 5 days and your impressions will surely help. Cheers
I want to voice my appreciation for your kind-heartedness for men who must have help on in this content. Your special commitment to passing the message throughout appeared to be especially invaluable and have all the time enabled regular people like me to achieve their dreams. Your personal valuable guidelines means much to me and substantially more to my office colleagues. Thank you; from everyone of us.

Using different approaches to teaching is what's taking place in World Lit I at Phillips Community College of the University of Arkansas taught by Paulette Parker. Reading stories from the Ancient World time period, Parker's students have learned about Gilgamesh and the story of the flood. After analyzing that story, students then read two other stories on the flood, one in the Bible and another in the Koran. After forming groups and making charts showing the similarities and differences among the three stories, each wrote a comparison/contrast essay using information from their charts. Shown working on their charts are PCCUA students (seated) Shelly Scott, (standing, left to right) Stephon Davis and Elisha Mondy.

MW: When you first hear about the march?
V: I think it was either the day before I was released, or one more day before that. I was amazed. It was very reassuring, and it made me glad to be part of the community I belong to. I was just amazed by the support of my friends, because it was some very close friends who organized that march.
MW: When we talk about hate crimes, or crimes with bias enhancements, do you think the Metropolitan Police Department has been doing a good job?
V: Before this, I always thought there was sort of a blind eye turned towards it. Hopefully, that's not the case, because I have been working with a detective. There's not much for them to work with, but I feel like they've been investing a good deal of energy and time with me, and trying to get this taken care of.
MW: Why do you think there would be hostility, or why do you think you would be singled out in this neighborhood?
V: Because this neighborhood is still, for lack of a better word, gentrifying, I guess. So I think that would be one of the reasons I would stand out, because I'm new to the neighborhood.
MW: Has there been hostility expressed by anyone in the neighborhood, older residents?
V: No.
MW: If they were to find the people who attacked you, would you be willing to testify? Would you be scared to testify?
V: The only problem I have is I don't visually remember the people, so it would be hard for me to testify.
MW: (To Partner) What's your take on this? Seeing your partner hurt, then seeing the outpouring of support, yet also having this frustration because there aren't a lot of facts for the police to go on?
P: It's not frustrating with the police, but just frustrating in general that there's not a lot of information to go on. As we were saying before, there were so many people around, I feel like there's definitely someone, or several people, who saw what happened, and just haven't come forward.
MW: Why do you think people would not want to come forward?
P: Just fear, I assume. Or some of them don't care. I don't know. I can't speculate on that.
We assume the criminals are someone who hangs out in the neighborhood, or who is here often, so perhaps people don't want to say anything because of that.
MW: Do you think there's an underlying racial animus?
V: Not really.
MW: If you could do something differently, what would you do?
V: I would have taken the cab all the way home.
MW: What's your advice to other people, to avoid this?
P: We're generally pretty cognizant of what's going on around us, so that's certainly some advice I would give anybody. But, you know, it was 9 o'clock on a Monday night. Typically, we haven't had any problems, or had any fear, at that time of day or week. You know, we go to the grocery store and walk back at that time of night. So I'm surprised. 2 o'clock in the morning you might expect something like that to happen, but…
MW: What's your take on the other people in the neighborhood? Have they reached out to you since the march?
P: Yeah, we know some of the neighbors who have called and sent cards, and the neighborhood sort of "crew" sent some flowers as well. They've been very supportive.
