Were you expecting some distracting ASCII art? Let's just get to the good stuff already! :3 But first, a word from our sponsor, the virtual attorney. + + Disclaimer + + This is the script and lyrics to Emotion 98.3, as played in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. Words considered explicit have been dashed out, as they are in much lower concentration than my Flash FM guide. Grand Theft Auto, Emotion 98.3 and so on are registered trademarks of Rockstar Games, and their use here is solely for information and entertainment purposes. This guide may not be reproduced IN ANY PORTION OR FORM WHATSOEVER, on any other website or publication apart from GameFAQs, NeoSeeker, HonestGamers and Super Cheats without the author's EXPRESS WRITTEN PERMISSION. Such permission can only be attained by contacting the author at the E-mail address mentioned in the E-Mail Policy Section. I will also NOT provide free links to these songs as you can easily get them for free on P2P. Though if you really like an artist you'll do the right-right thing and use cash to get it. ==================================================0o0= "I used to hate myself for what happened. Now, I merely hate myself. That's progress. I've worked my way through three whole words." - Lionel Makepeace I've been feeling really lonely as of late. Really. Maybe it's because as an 80's man that was born after the indulgent part of the decade (i.e. during the Ollie North scandal) I've felt alienated by a society that's starting to become all militant-lovey. That's not right. Or maybe because I was picked on in school a lot and when I tried to fight back, they blamed it on me. But spare me the pity, this guide is about the music for which you can hold your own pity parties for one. Like true love, or the ideal orgasm, most of these artists didn't last long, but those who survived became legends in their own right. So it's great to know that there's someone that shared your situation, before you move on or put yourself out of your own misery or worse, turn emo. This was Emotion 98.3. Enjoy the sounds of true despair.

Guide to the Guide | [G2TG] +========================+ Spoken lines are FORMATTED: Like This, While lines sung in commercials by different people are (Formatted) like this! However, parentheses are also used in lyrics to denote that someone else's lyrics (are being sung) as part of the same verse. Actions during radio and commercialsare also (bordered in parentheses), but don't have anything starting directly underneath. Actions by the radio station that interrupt the song are ((bordered with double parentheses.)) On the contrary, (Begin Music) marks the points where the following song begins during gaps in the dialogue. You'll also see a divider such as this: --------------------------------------------------o0o- which technically marks the end of a song's lyrics or commercial's script. This is not to confusedly mix in too much dialogue with the part of the song you will not hear in-game anyway. ((RD)) in particular stands for "Resume Dialogue," marking the point where the DJs or other voices take over. [Trivia and commentary are provided in single brackets.] +==========================+ | III. The Script & Lyrics | [TSLY] +==========================+ [Here we goooooooo!] IMAGING: You and Emotion 98.3, together...(ominous whisper) FOREVER.... (Begin Music) +----------------------------------+ LIONEL: This... is Emotion. | [The] Motels - "Only the Lonely" | [MOOL] +----------------------------------+ [This song from their 1982 album All Four One made it up to #9 on the Billboard Hot 100. The band would also release another top 10 single, "Suddenly Last Summer" off their album Little Robbers the following year. Tension that had already started to build up between band members and their manager as they launched Little Robbers would lead to the band's dissolution in February 1987.] We walked...the loneliest mile, We smile...without any style, We kiss altogether on, no intention.... We lie about each other's strengths, We live without each other thinking what anyone would do, Without me and you... It's like I told you, Only the lonely can play, So hold on, here we go, Hold on, to nothin' we know, I feel so lonely... way up here... You mention the time we were together, so long ago, Well I don't remember, all I know is it makes me feel good now.... It's like I told you, Only the lonely can play, Only the lonely, only the lonely can play... (Instrumental) Only the lonely, only the lonely can play, It's like I told you, Only the lonely can play, Only the lonely, only the lonely...can play...((RD)) --------------------------------------------------o0o- L: Lionel Makepeace here on Emotion, imagining a better world. A world where men and women understand each other perfectly. Where the only reason to quarrel is to make up, and where broken hearts can always be mended...even mine. (Begin Music) +--------------------------+ This is | 10cc - "I'm Not In Love" | [10NL] +--------------------------+ [This song from 1975 was what lured Mercury Records to sign 10cc for a then whopping US$1,000,000. It also hit #1 in the UK. The track itself was the result of excessive sampling and overdubbing, resulting in the "choir" of the band members you hear in the background, for starters. The "big boys don't cry" line was spoken by Kathy Warren, the receptionist of UK Records, whom 10cc was working for at the time. The single would receive a Top 10 cover by Will to Power in 1991, and a #1 Dance Music/Club remix by Olive in 2000. 10cc as you knew them from this song would split up in 1976, though several reunions have met with limited success.] Big boys don't cry. I know I don't. Not right now, anyway.] I'm not in love, so don't forget it, It's just a silly phase I'm going through, And just because, I call you up, Don't get me wrong, don't think you got it made, I'm not in love, no no, It's because... I like to see you, but then again, That doesn't mean you mean that much to me, So if I call you, don't make a fuss, Don't tell your friends about the two of us, I'm not in love, no no, It's because... (Instrumental) Be quiet, big boys don't cry, Big boys don't cry, (repeat 7x to voice fade) I keep your picture, up on the wall, It hides a nasty stain, just lyin' there, So don't you ask me, to give it back, I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me... I'm not in love, no no, It's because... Ooh, you wait a long time for me, Ooh, you wait a long time... Ooh, you wait a long time for me, ((RD)) Ooh, you wait a long time... I'm not in love, so don't forget it, It's just a silly phase I'm going through, And just because, I call you up, Don't get me wrong, don't think you got it made, I'm not in love, no no, It's because... --------------------------------------------------o0o- L: Love makes the world go 'round, it really does. Nudie pictures do too. My cousin's a physicist, and he says it's centrifugal gravitational pull, but he sleeps with prostitutes. I did once, but we fell in love, until she broke my heart. I'm in a confessional mood. Tell that someone you love them. Tell them, "I love them." Ask them to "love me." Let's take a break. Stay emotional, stay hormonal. I: The soundtrack for break-ups, therapy, or, just quietly weeping in a corner. Emotion 98.3. + + Mallet to a Maibatsu II [M2AM] + + [Whod've thought back then that the Honda Accord would go on to make 21 of 25 Car & Driver 10Best Lists, and the Toyota Camry would someday become Motor Trend's Car of the Year, while the only thing we would remember the Big Three for in a positive way are the token muscle cars they use as excuses for patriotic tirades to distract us from their (insert expletive adjective here build quality for the rest of their cars? Who'd have thought that those scrappy-yet-adorable little imports would become the youth's cars of choice, or that several of the more famous models are now being built in the more fanatically patriotic parts of America? I did. ): Or rather, I would've if I were alive and conscious in '84... Version I and further commentary on both Mallet to a Maibatsu commercials can be found in my guide to Flash FM.] (Patriotic music) WORKER: My name is uh...Sam Hall. I worked at American Motors for 22 years. Now, (sobs) I'm a jobless divorcée. TEENAGER: My daddy's name is David Adams. He got laid off from American Motors. Then he got drunk and killed mommy! ANNOUNCER: Staying free is about more than going into record debt, making weapons that could liquidize the world, or financing the overthrow of Central American countries. It's about the little things you can do everyday to help. But these days there's a new menace. (music turns ominous) JAP: (Japanese strings play during speech) Hello, lazy Americans! Your American cars are terrible! Soon, all Americans buy Japanese cars, ha ha ha! You on food stamps now! (return to patriotic music) A: This month, celebrate American diplomacy, and take a Mallet to a Maibatsu. Stay free, buy American goods. Brought to you by the Buy American Coalition. --------------------------------------------------o0o- (Begin Music) [Mmmmm. Saxophone riff.] L: This is Emotion. You ready to harden something? Try your heart. +----------------------------------+ | Quarterflash - "Harden My Heart" | [QHMH] +----------------------------------+ [Putting the hit in Quarterflash's one-hit(-album) wonder, from their self titled debut album in 1980. "Harden My Heart" reached #3 on the Hot 100 and topped the Mainstream Rock charts. Their subsequent albums, released in 1983 and 1985, did not nearly achieve as much success and the band broke up after being dropped from their record label.] Cryin' on the corner, waitin' in the rain, I swear I'll never ever wait again, You gave me your word, words for you are lies, Darlin' in my wildest dreams, I never thought I'd go...oh... But it's time to let you know, oh, (Chorus) I'm gonna harden my heart, I'm gonna swallow my tears, I'm gonna turn and leave you here... All of my life I've been waiting in the rain, I've been waiting for a feeling, that never ever came, It feels so close, but always disappears... Darlin' in your wildest dreams, you never had it good... But it's time you got the news, (Chorus) (Instrumental) Darlin' in my wildest dreams, I never thought I'd go...oh... But it's time to let you know, oh, (Chorus) I'm gonna harden my heart, I'm gonna swallow my tears, I'm gonna harden my heart, I'm gonna swallow my tears, Harden my heart... I'm gonna swallow my tears... ((RD)) No, oh, oh, oh, harden my heart... I'm gonna harden my heart, I'm gonna swallow my tears, (Repeat to fade) --------------------------------------------------o0o- L: Let's all reach into our pockets where we keep it...whip it out, hold it in our hand, and look at it in disgust. I'm talking about the Emotion Frequent Crier Card. Get it punched at any family planning clinic or AmmuNation. Guns and crying, they go together. Right now, to prove how much our sales team thinks of keeping our listeners, here's Fernando at Doggy-Style Pets. + -o0o- + Doggy-Style Pet Store [FMA1] + -o0o- + [NOTE: It's not censored because it's the name of the place. Go figure.] (sound of animals in background) FERNANDO: Thanks Lionel, joo really are sounding like the estrogen is taking over! I, am Fernando Martinez. Right now, I broadcast live from Doggy-Style Pet Store. When I get emotional, I get a puppy, Lionel. And when I feel better I say, "Fernando, joo don't need a puppy anymore. Joo need a woman, with big hips, that bear the child that will someday rise up against joo, and FIGHT joo to the death." So I throw the puppy away, and take the wench by the hair. L: Fernando, what the hell are you talking about? F: I am talking about the jungle, Lionel, about being the king of the jungle, like a kitten that is half-off when you stop at the Doggy-Style Pet Store, Downtown. Maybe joo need to move some y--o. A puppy is perfect. Or maybe joo are slow, like your mom was exposed to DDT, and joo like a pet turtle. They have lots of turtles here! Fernando...likes guinea pigs. But I date an Italian girl, and she no' like it. And plus, they don' taste like real pig. My mouth is all furry. Is' like the '60s all over again. The women, they are so hairy. They don' believe in shaving! Come see us here, Fernando will find you something to cuddle with. "I guarantee it."™ Let's play a powerful track. L: (frustrated) That is MY line. --------------------------------------------------o0o- (Begin Music) L: Ready to "Make Believe?" It's Toto. PHIL COLLINS: Hi, it's Phil Collins here, and when I'm in Vice City and want to listen to some power ballads about crying alone in a wind tunnel, I listen to Emotion. +-----------------------+ | Toto - "Make Believe" | [TTMB] +-----------------------+ [Hot off Toto's six-Grammy-winning album TOTO IV comes this #30 single. The same album would also spawn the #1 hit "Africa," which Fernando would play during his tenure as Emotion 98.3. Unlike most of the bands featured on this station, Toto would get through worse - such as the death of a band member in 1992 - to continued success, including another Grammy nomination in 1999, and they are still performing today. This song makes Toto one of two artists - minus collabs as in the case of Giorgio Moroder - to appear in three GTA games, on more than one radio station. "Africa" could be heard on Emotion in the original Vice City, and their 1978 single "Hold the Line" on K-DST in San Andreas. The other artist, of course, is Rick James (b---h), who has done the same, but appearing on three different radio stations with "Ghetto Life," (VC, Fever 105) "Cold Blooded," (SA, Master Sounds) and "Mary Jane." (VCS, VCFL) (Chorus) Why don't we make believe we're in love again, Who said the crimson moon doesn't shine, Where do people go when they're looking for that one of a kind, Why don't we make believe that we're sorry, Why must we hurry all inside, Where do lovers go when they're runnin' and there's no place to hide... (Always remember) the day we met in the pouring rain, (You were content and) we went our separate ways, No matter which way thw wind blows now, hang on to it anyhow, Don't ever say it could never be the same... (Chorus) (Always remember...) holding hands on a summer day, (You were content and...) you took it all away, I didn't come here to change your mind, Lead you on and waste your time, All alone in the evening, gettin' day! (Instrumental) Why don't we make believe... (Chorus) ((RD)) --------------------------------------------------o0o- I: Songs of empowerment...and trying to forget your drunk uncle's breath in your face. UNCLE: (burp) Com'ere, little cutie! I: Emotion is your station. L: Lionel Makepeace taking you through the morning, all night, with the only music that stirs a fire in your soul. You see, you want a woman who is a- a tiger. One that you lay eyes on her, and wow, you finish in your pants. Women only wanna be with the strongest. Show you're number one, and sing her this. +----------------------------------------------+ | Elkie Brooks - "Fool If You Think It's Over" | [EBFO] +----------------------------------------------+ [This 1981 single off her album Pearls spent 10 weeks on the UK charts, peaking at #17. The British blues singer would go on to achieve her greatest success in 1987 with her seemingly-aptly-named hit "No More The Fool" and continues to be a popular live performing artist to this day. The Guardian also recently labeled her "still one of the great British voices."] A dying flame, you're free again, Who could love...do that to you? All dressed in black, he won't be coming back, Save your tears, got years and years... The pains of seventeens, Unreal, they're only dreams, Save your cryin' for the day... (Chorus Pt 1) Fool if you think it's over, 'Cause she said goodbye, Fool if you think it's over, Tell you why... (Chorus Pt 2) Newborn eyes always cry with pain, at the first look at the morning sun... Fool if you think it's over, It's just begun... This teenage dream, such a tragic scene, He knocked your crown, and ran away, First wound of pride, and how you cry and cry, But save your tears, got years and years... (Chorus Pts 1 and 2) (Instrumental) [More saxophone riff!] Fool if you think it's over... I'll buy your first good wine... We'll have ((RD)) a real good time, Save your cryin' for the day... It may not come, but anyone, Who had to pay, will laugh at you and say... (Chorus Pt 1) I'll buy your first good wine, We'll have a real good time, Fool if you think it's over, I'll tell you why... (Chorus Pt 2) Fool if you think it's over... (Music fade) --------------------------------------------------o0o- L: I cry every time I hear that song, I cry, and I laugh, and I hold myself tight, and remember the first time...I was 13, in a jacuzzi. It was, kind of embarrassing, but I don't think anyone noticed. Let's take a quick break. +------------------------+ | Robard's Import/Export | [ROIE] +------------------------+ [Remember this guy from VCPR? At least he learned to downsize his endeavors to something he could chew, and be more subtle with the references. I had a girlfriend that loved to "Motivate, Demonstrate, and Motivate Again," but even though I'm officially past her...I still can't forget. God, I'm lonely.] How long has it been since you've gone at top speed in a powerboat, with two blondes in bikinis? Well that's too long. Hi, I'm Jeremy Robard with some important information about masculinity...and you. In today's times with women working in the office and men wearing pastels, pinks, and eye shadow, it's vital you reaffirm your masculinity, at every opportunity. Are you wasting away in an office, going bald and entertaining yourself by dropping pencils, so your fat secretary bends over? You could be in the money, living an adventure. Take on the hottest, most prestigious profession of today: International Trade. It's a man's occupation. It's a career! And it's an opportunity, all at once. All you have to do is lease one of our high-speed boats. No money down, no credit check, and you'll be hauling glamorous international cargo in no time. And you don't have to go very far, only about six miles off-shore to collect our special cargo, and bring it back. It's as easy as 1-2-3, all at high speed. Like a MAN! Hey, if you love the ocean, partying, and genuine capitalism, the import/export business is for you. If you're ready to step into the future of masculinity, come see me, Jeremy Robard, at Robard's Import/Export in Viceport. --------------------------------------------------o0o- (Begin Music) L: You're listening to Emotion. I'm your sentimental sensation, Lionel Makepeace, broadcasting from Studio H. Keeping you karmically in touchwith yourself. Keeping you in touch with your feelings. Keeping you in touch with your therapist. Speaking of therapy, I have still not gotten over Sheryl, man I lovethat woman. We had something really beautiful. It's a shame she left me for my anemic stepbrother, but everyone is their own journey, following their own star path. And that's something really beautiful. Spiritual journeys, and stars. May your paths cross with someone special, and hopefully, they'll have great hair. +------------------------------------------------------+ | The Passions - "I'm In Love With A German Film Star" | [PGFS] +------------------------------------------------------+ [This single, released in 1981, made #25 on the UK charts. This was the Passions' one-hit wonder, as they would disband in 1983. A number of bands would cover the song for years to come - including the Foo Fighters.] I'm in love with a German film star, I once saw in a bar, Sitting in a corner and in perfect clothes, Trying not too pose, For the cameras and the girls, It's a glamourous world... I'm in love with a German film star, I once saw in a movie, Playing the part of a real troublemaker but I didn't care, It really moved me, It really moved me... (Instrumental) I'm in love with a German film star, I once saw in a bar, Sitting in a corner and in perfect clothes, Trying not to pose For the cameras and the girls, It's a glamourous world... I'm in love with a German film star, I once saw in a movie, Playing the part of a real troublemaker but I didn't care, It really moved me, It really moved me, It really moved me, It really moved me, ((RD)) I'm in love... (Repeat 13x) --------------------------------------------------o0o- L: That was more powerful than any chemical that could course through your veins...a mark on your soul. And speaking of souls, our very own Fernando is broadcasting live at Cinder Beast Tattoo at Vice Point. Fernando? + -o0o- + Cinder Beast Tattoos [FMA2] + -o0o- + F: That's right Lionel, I am here at Cinder Beast Tattoos. There are things that last forever, like a paper degree, or the time you play on the railroad tracks with your slow brother, and he doesn't get out of the way in time, and joo realize this is, how joo say, a metaphor for the first sexual experience! You like roses? Or barbed wire? Or maybe joo love someone so much, joo want their name on your a--, for all eternity. Or you want a tattoo of a mermaid, AND a gorilla? Or a man, slaying a dragon with his p---s. These guys take good care of you! They use clean needles, they change them every week. They train for a BERY long time, like, three days. And some of them have been in the joint so joo KNOW they have experience. For skulls on fire, or Egyptian symbols of fertility, come to Cinder Beast Tattoos. This IS Fernando Martinez, for Emotion. Written on the heart, tattooed on the loins. --------------------------------------------------o0o- L: I love that guy. He's like a spiritual force. Let's get emotional...let's take some roofies...here's some more heart-wrenching power ballads. (Begin Music) JACK HOWITZER: Hi, this is Jack Howitzer. I wanna know what love is, and I want you to show me. Or I'll slit your throat. +-----------------------------------------+ | Foreigner - "I Wanna Know What Love Is" | [FKWL] +-----------------------------------------+ [Number 476 on Rolling Stones' 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and arguably the most famous song on the entire soundtrack of Vice City Stories, this song from their 1984 album Agent Provocateur hit number 1 in the United States, the United Kingdom, AND Australia. The backing vocals were provided by the New Jersey Mass Choir. "Waiting for a Girl Like You," off their 1981 album 4 (as in, the album is literally numbered 4) and played on Fernando's Emotion as well as the Midway game RoadKill, would hold the odd distinction of spending a record ten weeks at number 2 without ever reaching number 1.] I've gotta take a little time, A little time to think things over... I'd better read between the lines, In case I'll need it when I'm over... Now this mountain I must climb, Feels like the world upon my shoulder... Through the clouds I see love shine, It keeps me warm as life grows colder, In my life, there's been heartache and pain, I don't know, if I can face it again, Can't stop now, I've traveled so far, To change this lonely life... I wanna know what love is, I want you to show me! I wanna feel what love is, I know you can show me... I'm gonna take a little time, A little time to look around me... I've got nowhere left to hide, It looks like love has finally found me... In my life, there's been heartache and pain, I don't know, if I can face it again, Can't stop now, I've traveled so far, To change this lonely life... I wanna know what love is, I want you to show me! I wanna feel what love is, I know you can show me... (Repeat to Fade) ((RD)) --------------------------------------------------o0o- L: Foreigner, "I Wanna Know What Love Is." It's not just power ballads, but it is all...heart, here on Emotion. I: If you cry best, when you've got the top down, and you're driving toward the sunset...(car driving by)...Emotion is your station. +-------------------------------+ | The Assembly - "Never, Never" | [ASNN] +-------------------------------+ [The band was created by former Yazoo member Vince Clarke in 1983, and this was their one-hit wonder single along with the instrumental "Stop/Start", topping the charts in the UK. The guitar was sampled note-for-note on a synthesizer, continuing the new wave influence into heart-wrenching songs like these. Clarke went on to form the band Erasure in 1985.] I know just what to say, It's just a game I play, Now I'm here on my own, I'd like to be with you, I guess you always knew, Still I'm all alone, I know the story, but it all worked out, It never happens to me, It never happens to me, (It's the way my life was meant to be,) It never happens to me, It never happens to me, (Love's just a door that's locked and there's no key,) It never happens to me, I know my every line, It's just a waste of time, Guess it's all such a shame. I've seen it all before, and everytime I'm sure, That it ends up the same... I know the story, but it all worked out. Never happens to me, It never happens to me, (It's the way my life was meant to be,) It never happens to me, It never happens to me, (Love's just a door that's locked and there's no key,) It never happens to me, I know just what to say, It's just a game I play, Now I'm here on my own, I'd like to be with you, I guess you always knew, Still I'm left all alone, I know the story, ((RD)) but it all worked out... It never happens to me, It never happens to me, (It's the way my life was meant to be,) It never happens to me, It never happens to me, (Love's just a door that's locked and there's no key,) It never happens to me... --------------------------------------------------o0o- L: The heart is the most mysterious organ of all...part from maybe the spleen or the appendix, but I'm digressing. I'm...dreaming. I'm imagining someone special. A power ballad and an open-top car, and a dream... a dream of dreams. Keep it locked on the heart, the appendix, and the spleen. This...is Emotion. I: If you want music that's so powerful, you'll laugh through the tears...and cry behind the laughter...then Emotion is your Station. Emotion... + + Angel and the Knight [ANKN] + + [I don't recall people using expletives that heavy on commercials for shows like these, even if they would have been bleeped out. On a humorous side note, try imagining Sasuke as Angel and Sakura as Knight. Eat that, Naruto.] ANNOUNCER: Criss Van Angel is a flyboy hot-dog helicopter pilot, who flew missions in 'Nam and can't get enough of the ladies. ANGEL: I'm kind of a sassy p---k. A: Bonnie Knight is a recovering alcoholic ninja, who will sleep her way to the truth. KNIGHT: Who do I have to b--w in this place to get some information? A: When they're not fighting their personal demons, they're fighting crime. They're private detectives. They are Angel and the Knight. Tuesday nights at 7, don't miss Angel and the Knight. They live together on a speedboat, and have a special helicopter that goes underwater. (sound of car accelerating) DRUG LORD: Now joo are going to die, Bonnie Knight, you drunken ninja slut! (machine-gun fire) No one can rescue you now! KNIGHT: We have a special helicopter that goes underwater! You guys are F---ED! A: Hot-air balloon chases, fistfights- (someone gets punched) ANGEL: Don't make me unzip my pants. A: ...and country music car chases. Plus, exploding boats. (boat "explodes") Tuesday nights at 7, don't miss Angel and the Knight. --------------------------------------------------o0o- I: When you get older, your heart...dies. So here are some power ballads to carry you through. Emotion 98.3, is your station. +----------------------------+ | Pat Benatar - "We Belong" | [PBWB] +----------------------------+ [This single, along with 1983's "Love Is A Battlefield," makes Benatar one of several artists to have songs on two different radio stations in VCS. "We Belong" matched "Battlefield's" performance on the Hot 100 by reaching #5, but only ended up two notches short of Battlefield's chart-topping stretch on the Mainstream Rock chart. We Belong also earned Benatar a Grammy Nomination for Best Female Rock Vocal performance while the latter earned her the Grammy itself. For those who've watched Talladega Nights, this song should conjure up images of Sacha Baron Cohen and Will Ferrell in NASCAR driver jumpsuits running in slow-motion across a finish line and...I won't spoil the rest of the movie for you. n.=.n] (We belong, We belong to the light...) Many times I tried to tell you, Many times I cried alone, Always I'm surprised how well you cut my feelings to the bone, Don't wanna leave you reeling, I've invested too much time, To give you up that easy, to the doubts that complicate your mind, (Chorus) We belong to the light, we belong to the father, We belong to the sound of the words, before falling under, Whatever we deny or embrace, for worse or for better, We belong, we belong, we belong together... Maybe it's a sign of weakness, When I don't know what to say, Maybe I just wouldn't know what to do with my strength anyway, If we become a habit, do we distort the facts, Now there's no looking forward, now there's no looking back, when you say... (Chorus) Close and your eyes and try to sleep now, Close your eyes and try to dream, Play your mind and do your best to try to wash the palette clean, We can't began to know it, how much we really care, I hear your voice inside me, I see your face everywhere, still you say... (Chorus repeat to fade) ((RD)) --------------------------------------------------o0o- L: Pat Benatar, "We Belong." Fantastic. You're on Emotion, getting into the heart with me, Lionel Makepeace. Let's check in now with our romantic reporter, Fernando Martinez. Fernando, (fade in strip club music) Fernando- wh-where are you? + -o0o- + Fernando's New Beginnings [FMA3] + -o0o- + F: Hello Lionel, this is...Fernando Martinez. L: We know that already. F: Yes, I AM Fernando Martinez. I am bringing people together. Just minutes ago, I brought Bob, a bored married accountant, and a father of three, together with Nightshade - a WONDERFUL lady. As we speak, they are discovering "passion," at a discount rate. L: Fernando, you're an animal. F: I AM an animal, Lionel. A leopard, who cannot change his spots. A tiger, a DRAGON, a horny bull, scratching his back on the barbed wire, looking out for the farmer's wife. I broadcast live, Lionel, I AM Fernando Martinez, and I am LIVE...with Emotion. --------------------------------------------------o0o- I: Power ballads, montages, divorce...standing on the brink of existence, again. Emotion is your station. (Begin Music) +---------------------------------+ L: Let's keep it mellow. | The Pretenders - "Private Life" | [PRPL] +---------------------------------+ ["Private Life" comes off of this band's self-titled debut album from 1980. The Pretenders album topped the UK charts but only made it to #9 in the US, and is best known for the UK #1 and US Top 20 single "Brass In Pocket." The album itself would go on to be one of VH1's best albums of all time, and #155 on Rolling Stone's 500 greatest albums.] Your private life, drama baby leave me out... (3x) J'ai les glands with your theatrics, your acting's a drag... It's ok on TV 'cause you can turn it off, but don't try me, Yes your marriage is a tragedy but it's not my concern I'm very superficial, I hate anything official (Chorus) Your private life, drama baby leave me out... (You've been lying to someone and now me, stop) (All verse 3x) Your sentimental gestures only bore me to death... You've made a desperate appeal now save your breath... Attachment to obligation through guilt and regret s--t that's so wet, And your sex life complications are not my fascinations... (Chorus) (Instrumental) ((RD)) You asked me for advice I said use the door, But you're still clinging to somebody you deplore, And now you wanna use me for emotional blackmail, I just feel pity when you lie, contempt when you cry... (Chorus) --------------------------------------------------o0o- L: Let's take it just a little deeper...into the music...into ourselves. +-------------------------------------+ | Phil Collins - "In The Air Tonight" | [PCAT] +-------------------------------------+ [Phil Collins' first solo single from his 1981 album Face Value made #19 on the Billboard 100 but it would not be until its TV-show debut that its fame would skyrocket. The Miami Vice influence on Vice City comes full circle with the inclusion of its most famous song, as played in the episode "Brother's Keeper." The video was the 21st ever played on MTV's launch. Two other Phil Collins hits: "Easy Lover" and Genesis single "Turn It On Again," are played on Flash FM. The song would be included, parodied, or otherwise used in numerous TV shows and movies, including a cover by Nonpoint for the 2006 Miami Vice movie. As for the urban legend... "...remember that song...about that guy who could've saved that other guy from drowning, but didn't, then Phil saw it all and at a show he found him? That's kinda how this is, you coulda saved me from drowning, now it's too late, I'm on a thousand downers now, I'm drowsy..." - Eminem, "Stan"] I can feel it comin' in the air tonight, oh lord... And I've been waiting for this moment, for all my life, oh lord... Can you feel it comin' in the air tonight, oh lord...oh lord... Well if you told me you were drowning, I would not lend a hand, I've seen your face before my friend, but I don't know if you know who I am, Well I was there and I saw what you did, I saw it with my own two eyes, So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you been, It's all been a pack of lies... And I can feel it comin' in the air tonight, oh lord... Well I've been waiting for this moment, all my life, oh Lord... I can feel it comin' in the air tonight, oh lord... And I've been waitin' for this moment, all my life, oh Lord...oh Lord.... Well I remember, I remember don't worry... How could I ever forget, it's the first time...the last time we ever met... But I know the reason why you keep your silence up...knowing you fully... But the hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows, No stranger to you and me!

L: Now for something with a little style, to keep you thinking about that special someone. (Begin Music) +-----------------------+ ...| Roxy Music - "Avalon" | [RMAV] +-----------------------+ ["Avalon" was the title track of Roxy Music's last album before their breakup, released in 1982. Another, more prominent track from the Avalon album - "More Than This," garnered more acclaim and was featured on Fernando's Emotion. Interestingly, the band reunited in 2001 and are now creating material for an album to be released later this year.] Now the party's over, I'm so tired, Then I see you coming, out of nowhere, Much communication, in a motion, Without conversation, or a notion, Avalon... When the samba takes you, out of nowhere, And the background's fading, out of focus, Yes the picture's changing, every moment, And your destination, you don't know it, Avalon...

The song reached #11 on the Billboard Hot 100, well above "Two Tickets to Paradise," the other single from that album. The latter was also featured on the soundtrack of K-DST in San Andreas.] Baby hold on to me, Whatever will be will be, The future is ours to see, So baby hold on to me, Baby, what's these things you've been saying about me, behind my back, Is it true that you might want a better life, Is is true you think these things are a lie... Think about it baby, I'm gonna take you to the top, (Chorus) So Baby hold on to me, Whatever will be will be, The future is ours to see, When you hold on to me, Baby, you know the future's looking brighter, every mornin' when I get up, Don't be thinking 'bout what's not enough now, baby, Just be thinkin' 'bout what we got, Think of all my love now, I'm gonna give you all I got...

Rainbow's years up to its temporary yet lengthy split in 1984 saw many more shifts in the lineup as the band's musical direction headed toward pop metal. The only original member remaining at the time they finally disbanded in 1997 was lead guitarist Richard Blackmore.] Every night I have the same ol' dream, 'Bout you and me and what's in between... So many changes, so many lies... Try to run, try to hide, From ever'thing I feel inside, but I can't escape you, Or your frozen eyes...

Can't break away from your spell, Another dark and empty night, If I'm alone I want to make it right But you are so distant, so far away... Your words like ice grow along the ground, Breakin' the silence without a sound, Familiar strangers with nothing to say... Searching in the darkness, fading inside, Love was here and gone, like a thief, in the night! (Chorus) You leave me stone cold!

Boy, I mean these girls REALLY know how to relax you! Baby! L: Fernando, this is a family show. F: Where do you think babies come from Lionel? Not from therapy, buddy, or the stork, but from the power and the "passion" of a load of baby oil, and a woman to relax you. You see, we waste so much of our love when you make an abstract painting on her face, or a map of the Falkland Islands on your stomach, on a lonely night. But this is BUSINESS class, baby! This is 1984. It is beautiful, "passion" CAN be released. Boy, do I know that. All the ethnicities: Asians, the Swedes, the little Mexican girl. It is beautiful. Really, incredible! Hey baby, I think I'm getting a li'l stress' again! Come here! (fade out) L: Uh, that was our roving reporter Fernando Martinez. (chuckle) What a joker, just broadcasting from a mall, and pretending to be getting an erotic massage. As if. (Fade in Music) I mean, I think we all know love comes...from the heart, and passion is a spiritual connection between two beautiful people, not a cheap h---job in a seedy massage parlor.

A sequel album released in 1986 did not attain nearly as much success, and the band was soon dissolved with barely a whimper. Not known to most others is that Giuffria also made a little ditty called "Sweet Victory," which ended up as the theme song for an episode of Spongebob Squarepants. Sadly, the full 3:48 version of THAT song can only be found by BUYING it from www.apmmusic.com. ):< ] Can I ever live without you girl, Put back on my feet again, Now I'm lost in your world, And there's no simple way to let you go, You've been such a part of me, And though you choose to walk a separate road I still believe in you...

It has also been sampled by countless others including many hip-hop artists (in particular), though sometimes I imagine the lyrics to "Lovers & Friends" with this base line. The song was also played at Madonna's wedding. Not long after this song's release as a single the band was torn apart allegedly due to disputes over creative control, but the song's legacy lives on in its countless remixes and covers as well as its samples.

Evaluate reactivity with limited resources
The initial critical steps of reactivity risk reduction need not be expensive, time consuming and require extensive expertise.
Highly reactive industrial chemicals have made available an enormous variety of useful products that we often take for granted. However, chemical reactivity can present significant hazards under certain conditions, and the control of chemical energy continues to be a significant concern for facilities that process, handle, transport or store chemicals. The potential to inflict harm or damage exists because reaction energy can cause over-pressurization of process equipment and subsequent release of toxic or flammable materials. To control reaction energy and manage reactive hazards and risk, it is necessary to characterize chemical reactivity that can appear under normal and likely upset conditions. Certainly, general hazard-assessment methods can be used, but they usually require extensive resources. This article describes how to adequately evaluate reactivity with limited resources.
The U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) in 2002 released a report on 167 reactive-chemical incidents that occurred in the U.S. between January 1980 and June 2001 [1]. More than 50% of these incidents involved chemicals that are not covered by U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) or U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations. Existing OSHA and EPA regulations are based on lists of individual chemicals that are considered inherently unstable or toxic. However, reactive hazards are associated with an enormous range of chemical reactivity behavior based on wide ranges of process and upset conditions that challenge attempts at regulation.
A complex issue
The intrinsic properties of a chemical are based on the molecular electronic structure as represented by its molecular formula. Although each chemical has unique properties that affect reactive behavior, observed reactivity and, therefore, reactivity hazard is not an inherent property. In fact, the observed reactivity results from the interaction of the chemical in contact with other chemicals and materials at the conditions of the interaction.
Because there are endless combinations of chemicals and conditions, no simple test, indicator or assessment can fully characterize a reactivity hazard. Therefore, lists of reactive chemicals are futile and misleading because they can suggest that an unlisted chemical is never hazardous. A listed reactive chemical can be benign under some conditions, while a normally benign compound might not be, as was the case with water, which in the presence of methyl isocyanate, led to the Bhopal tragedy. So, it is not surprising that a thorough reactive hazard assessment can be expensive, time consuming and require extensive expertise. Because of limited resources, a sufficient reactivity assessment often is not performed to characterize hazards or to determine whether the process must be altered to decrease the risk to acceptable levels. However, the initial steps of a reactivity assessment to identify basic hazards are critically important to reduce risk, and these steps require minimal resources.
Reactivity hazard assessment is best accomplished using a multi-leveled approach [2] that begins with available information about the chemicals, including records of previous incidents, and proceeds with computational and experimental tests (Table 1), which indicates relative experience, time and cost, and gives examples for the various levels.
<Production dept., place table close to here>
Level 1 prescreening
Level 1 prescreening assembles information needed for a hazard assessment and anticipates potential hazards. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) are always available but often are incomplete and should be supplemented with other sources to obtain reliable information, such as physical and thermodynamic properties, reactivity, flammability and toxicity, on each chemical. Also important is compatibility information, which is available from a variety of sources; for instance, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration offers a Chemical Reactivity Worksheet (CRW) program for each chemical pair of more than 6,000 chemicals. (http://response.restoration.noaa.gov/chemaids/react.html). Many reference books and literature articles provide free of charge MSDSs as well as other Level 1 information. Brethericks Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards[3], for example, is available in libraries and includes numerous records of incidents that are valuable for anticipating potential reactivity hazards.
Chemical bonds and structures. As part of prescreening, a look at the molecular structure, the fundamental basis for intrinsic properties, is useful for anticipating potential hazards. Some chemical bonds and structures, such as unsaturated bonds (acetylene, butadiene) that are not in benzene rings, are more likely than others to exhibit high reactivity or instability. Other examples include certain compounds containing nitrogen-nitrogen bonds (azo compounds, azides) or oxygen-oxygen bonds (peroxides, peroxyacids) and certain structures containing metals (metal fulminates, arylmetals) or halogens (halamides, halogen azides). Compounds with strained rings, such as ethylene oxide, are less stable and have a greater tendency to react to a more stable state with a release of energy. Extensive examples of bonds and structures are provided in Brethericks [3], the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) Guidelines [4] and Lees Loss Prevention [5].
Chemical reaction types. It also is important to gather information on the types of expected reactions and their behavior, which include oxidation, oxidation-reduction, polymerization, combustion, decomposition, rearrangement and autocatalytic [4, 6].
Physical processes. Heat generation or consumption by such processes can significantly affect system temperature and, therefore, chemical reaction rate. Examples of such physical processes that are part of Level 1 information are melting, vaporization, wetting, adsorption, hydration, mixing, agitation, combining, grinding and distillation.
Level 2 screening
After Level 1 information is gathered, experimental and computational screening tests should be performed to identify and characterize basic hazards, including self-reactivity or thermal stability, oxidizers, peroxide formation sensitivity, spontaneous combustibility, reactivity with air, shock sensitivity and incompatibility [7]. A useful guide for identifying and managing basic hazards [8] is available free from the OSHA website on reactive chemical hazards (http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/reactivechemicals/). Even though the necessary tests incur more costs than Level 1 information searches, they still only require limited resources as part of hazard assessment to design and implement reliable chemical processes.
Included in a hazard assessment are scenarios or chains of events, developed to determine how the identified hazards can threaten process equipment and personnel. For this analysis, sensitivities of the chemicals to likely contaminants and conditions, as measured in screening tests, together with lessons learned from investigations of previous incidents involving the chemicals are extremely valuable. For each developed scenario, the potential consequence severity and the likelihood of each event are analyzed as needed to manage risk.
Experimental screening. Many calorimetric devices are available for testing reaction behavior at process and likely upset conditions. A Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) is useful for examining a few milligrams of sample over wide ranges of temperature to identify exothermic processes and estimate evolved heat [4]. Other small calorimeters, such as the ARSST [9], test a few grams of sample to estimate reaction behavior, including heat of reaction, and pressure change.
Computational screening. Although accurate measurements of reaction energies or heat are expensive, reaction energy can be calculated by subtracting the heats of formation of the products from those of the reactants. Experimental heats of formation are available for many molecules from the National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) Webbook (http://webbook.nist.gov). Reaction energy can be used to develop parameters for reactivity prediction methods. An example reactivity parameter is the Computed Adiabatic Reaction Temperature (CART), which is the maximum temperature under adiabatic conditions from the heat of reaction and heat capacity of reaction components [10].
Especially for molecules with unusual functional groups and reactive intermediates, a calculation method is a convenient way to determine heats of formation when experimental values are not available. High-level quantum chemical calculations can rival experimental values in accuracy but can be time consuming and expensive <em dash> and often are not required. As screening tools, however, empirical and semi-empirical desktop software methods with usually acceptable accuracy are available at low cost.
The CHETAH computer program, which employs the Benson group additive method, is useful for estimating gas-phase heats of formation [11]. MOPAC within the ChemOffice Ultra 2004 programs (http://www.cambridgesoft.com/) also calculates gas-phase heats of formation. MOPAC includes semi-empirical quantum methods, in which many of the electron interaction terms are neglected or replaced by empirical parameters based on measured data. These widely applicable methods are inexpensive and require only about a minute on a personal computer to calculate a heat of formation [7].
Employing a multi-leveled approach to hazard assessment, information gathering and hazard identification is the critical preliminary to hazard characterization. Each step along this assessment route should lower the overall risk. Examples of basic reactive chemical hazards from the CSB 167 incidents [1], summarized below, demonstrate that relatively low-cost Level 1 and 2 methods could have identified, and semi-quantitatively characterized, basic hazards that were involved in each incident.
CSB Incident No. 4, spontaneous combustibility. A fire appeared in a scrubber tank that contained mineral oil and alkyl aluminums, which are pyrophoric and ignite on contact with air or water. Although it could have been determined from a Level 1 search, the propensity of water-contaminated alkyl aluminums to self ignite and be an ignition source for mineral oil was not identified, so personnel had not prepared procedures for safe handling and use of these chemicals.
CSB Incident No. 167, oxidizer. Personnel were unclogging a dust collector that removed combustible dust, including ammonium perchlorate, a powerful oxidizing agent. The personnel were not aware of the dust-explosion initiation potential of ammonium perchlorate, which could have been discovered from a Level 1 search.
CSB Incident No. 11, thermal runaway polymerization, shock sensitivity. An overheated tank containing 80,000 gallons of acrylic acid required extensive spraying with water to prevent explosion. Acrylic acid is chemically stable under normal storage and handling conditions, but is sensitive to peroxide formation and exothermic polymerization in the presence of heat or contaminants that can deactivate peroxide formation inhibitors. Organic peroxides sensitivity to heat, shock and friction has resulted in many unexpected explosions. Also, with its relatively high freezing point of 14°C, acrylic acid often partly solidifies, with the peroxide formation inhibitor remaining in the liquid phase. Uninhibited acrylic acid polymerizes exothermically at ambient temperature and may accelerate to an explosive state. This basic information about acrylic acid, organic peroxides and potential runaway behavior could have been discovered from a Level 1 search that included records of previous incidents. Level 2 screening or higher-level tests could characterize the potential hazards and further reduce risk.
CSB Incident No. 16, reactivity with air, self reactivity, incompatibility. NaK used as thermometric fluid spilled into a furnace. Personnel were not aware that NaK reacts with air to form KO<subscript>2, which can decompose violently in the presence of hydrocarbons. During cleaning operations, mineral oil was used to wash the furnace walls, resulting in an explosion due to incompatibility with the KO<subscript>2. This reactivity and compatibility information is available from a Level 1 search.
CSB Incident No. 32, water reactivity. A process to produce alkyl benzene for detergents had been altered by replacing aluminum chloride with Al powder without going through management-of-change procedures [12]. Level 1 information would have shown that Al powder can react exothermically with water. Following this substitution, the reactor was overfilled and the bottom outlet became fouled with solid catalyst residue. Because tests showed that the residue reacted with water, it was decided to inject ambient temperature water to dissolve the solids. Instead, personnel injected continuous steam and within minutes the reactor vessel exploded. Because the reactivity tests had been performed only at ambient temperature, the exothermic reaction of aluminum powder with hot water or steam to form hydrogen was not identified. This incident teaches the importance of management of change, a need for testing at normal and likely upset conditions, and the importance of pressure generation as part of an overall hazards assessment.
Additional explosion hazards due to combustible materials can include:
Releases of flammable gases that disperse and encounter ignition sources [13];
Aerosols produced from leakage of industrial fluids to ambient pressure from higher pressures [14]; and
Dust accumulations that can form airborne dust clouds that disperse and explode [15].
Level 3 detailed reactivity tests
Screening tests satisfy or at least greatly simplify minimum requirements for a hazard assessment. In some cases based on Level 1 and Level 2 information, however, additional quantitative information using more detailed computations or experimental tests may be required to reduce risk to an acceptable level. Computational tests include quantum methods such as HF, G2 and B3LYP [16], while experimental methods include tests under adiabatic conditions using adiabatic calorimeters such as the APTAC or ARC [4]. These tests require increased resources, but they can explore sensitivities of the chemicals and provide more accurate values of reaction heats and activation energies for estimating hazard evaluation parameters, such as time to maximum reaction rate, which are useful for risk quantification and reduction. The following example from the CSB 167 incidents illustrates the value of Levels 2 and 3 testing.
CSB Incident No. 1, self reactivity, thermal decomposition. Nylon polymer in a process vessel had decomposed to carbon dioxide and other gases. Because the foamy polymer fluid had blocked vessel tubing, operators opening the vessel were not aware of the trapped pressure. The partially unbolted cover blew off and the released hot fluid ignited. Following the incident, adiabatic calorimetric testing showed that the thermal decomposition of the polymer was endothermic with significant pressure generation (Figure 1) [17]. Closed-cell testing at Levels 2 and 3 over a temperature range that included the primary and secondary decomposition reaction systems could have identified and measured pressure formation behavior, including maximum pressure and pressure generation rate. Other reactivity characterization information for hazard assessment is onset temperature for significant decomposition, the difference between the main process temperature and the decomposition onset temperature and, from Level 3, the time to the maximum pressure generation rate under adiabatic conditions.
Thermal decomposition of a nylon polymer generated significant pressure that ultimately led to a fluid release and fire.
This incident demonstrates the importance of pressure as a hazard indicator and the danger of relying on a single indicator, such as the overall reaction energy, for hazard classification.
Tools you can apply
Before hazards can be controlled, they must be identified. The multi-tiered approach and methods we have outlined can play a key role in identifying reactivity risks, without requiring extensive resources. The cited CSB incidents underscore the value of the approach. Basic reactivity hazards should have been uncovered from a Level 1 information search in all but the last incident case study. If Level 1 information had been employed, followed by Level 2 screening for hazard identification and initial characterization, the number and severity of incidents should have been greatly reduced. Level 3 tests for more detailed characterization require greater resources, but just the knowledge that additional information beyond Level 2 is needed helps to determine whether a process can be performed economically at a manageable level of risk or must be modified or abandoned. Additional information is available from many sources including the periodically updated websites of OSHA (www.osha.gov/SLTC/reactivechemicals/), and the Mary Kay OConnor Process Safety Center (http://process-safety.tamu.edu).

Whatever content children see on screens, the good, the bad, or the ugly, they struggle to make sense of it. They connect it to what they already know to build new ideas about the world and how it works. In the process, children internalize messages about self-image, relationships, what should be important to them, and so on. Sometimes their experiences leave children feeling happy and at peace, other times confused or worried, sometimes powerful, sometimes weak.
Children may try to work out an understanding of what they see in different ways—in their play (which can be very helpful if they are creative, self-directed players), in their art and writing, and in conversations with others. However, when children are left to make meanings from their media experiences themselves without the assistance of caring adults, they may learn lessons that are harmful to themselves, those around them, and ultimately the wider society.
Children often need adults' help with the meaning-making process and to positively influence the lessons they are learning. This does not necessarily mean trying to keep children's media experiences from entering the classroom. But it may mean developing specific ways for addressing those experiences. For instance, one day a week you might have a meeting with children who want to talk about what they have done with or seen on screens. Or you might do a special activity in which children draw pictures about some aspect of screens (for instance, their favorite program or character or something they don't like), and then have a discussion about what they drew. There may very well be other times when you do have to set limits because media content is interfering with other classroom activities and goals.
As you develop strategies for how to work with and respond to children around media issues that arise in the classroom, think about how what a child says or does may reflect messages conveyed by the media culture about sex, violence, or commercialization. How do those messages differ from the ones that families, schools, and the community want children to learn in order to become happy, fulfilled, caring members of society? As you work with young children, remember the following:
Here are some guidelines for addressing general media content issues that arise in the classroom.
Stay Connected With Children Around Issues They Bring Up
This principle is at the heart of helping children feel safe in knowing they can talk about media content in the classroom. They will learn to trust you to help them work out what they have seen or done. Connecting is an essential part of the process of helping children link content they get from the media culture with the messages of their families, school, and society. And by doing so, you help children experience at a deep level what it means to be connected to another person—an essential part of counteracting compassion deficit disorder. Many of the examples throughout this book illustrate this deep level of trust.
Help children feel safe bringing up media-related issues in the classroom. We convey to children whether what they did was okay or not by what we say and do when they bring up media issues. Even if you are taken aback and not sure how to respond to what children tell you, you must let them know you are available to talk with them.
Ask Open-Ended Questions That Convey Your Interest
When children bring up media-related issues, it's helpful to engage them so they feel free to share details. Responding this way will help you learn more about a child's experience and understanding of the situation, and the information you collect will help you decide how to respond and what to do next.
Hold Give-and-Take Discussions With Children
Talking with children about issues related to play, toys, and media content can be a regular part of any approach you take. The discussion about Henry's understanding of the Star Wars movie in Chapter 2, the princess discussion in Chapter 5, and the discussion points about how much television to watch that are suggested on page 127 are all good models of give-and-take discussions. Also useful is the letter to parents about gender roles and toys on page 100.
Help Children Use Their Play to Work Out an Understanding of What They've Seen on a Screen
The better children are at engaging in creative play, instead of imitating what they've seen on a screen, the better able they will be to use their play to work out an understanding of what they have seen, gain control over it, and move on to work on new ideas and skills.
Remember That There Is No One Right Approach or Answer
Teachers sometimes ask me what they should have said or done when children raised salient media issues. In most cases, there are many right answers. While one relevant comment may be effective with some children, it may not be as effective with others. There will be times when you say something and then wish you had said something else instead. It's fine to go back to a child and say, "I was thinking about our conversation, and now I want to say ______." Try one approach or strategy at a time, then proceed based on the outcome at each step.

Howdee all.
Today we went to a very cool geological area... An area of karsts
I took this information from the Leon Sinks website..
You can click on the link above to read more about the area and look at the trail map.
Leon Sinks Geological Area
Welcome to the fascinating world of karst. The term is applied to terrain that rain and groundwater have changed by dissolving underlying limestone bedrock. The porous limestone bedrock was formed long ago from ancient coral reefs and shell deposits. Rain and groundwater have dissolved the limestone to form sinkholes, swales and underground caverns. The Woodville Karst Plain runs from Tallahassee southward to the Gulf of Mexico. A wet sinkhole is an opening to the Floridan aquifer, which supplies our drinking water.
Many of these sinks are connected caves underwater....they have been explored by divers. If you are interested you can check out the video at Utube by clicking this link.
Jeff and I decided to do the full round trip, about five miles plus. We passed several dry sink holes.. and then came across this one..
Beautiful blue green water, very clear.
We hung out and watched a few birds come in to drink.
another sink ..
We passed many sinks..and this one below being the largest and deepest.
Big Dismal Sink offers a breathtaking view of more than 75 different plants cascading down the sink's steep walls.
besides the sinks we passes several small cypress swamps.
Oh whats this I see ..
Pink on a tree
Pink spots
and one PINK Heart...
How Cool is that!
I googled pink Lichen but couldn't find any info on it...any ideas?
(oh...smart sister found out what this is...)
Christmas Lichen
and this other link actually has photos of the lichen from the same area that we hiked today
More Christmas Lichen
Thanks smart sista...
and what the heck?????? How does this tree stay up?
with a little help from its friend...
its leaning into that spot up top.....
We saw some nice birdies today...alas no pictures...if i were one of you with those super cool cameras with real fast shutter speeds and zoom lenses you would have seen photos of...
White eyed vireo, Golden crowned kinglets, Hermit thrush, Yellow bellied sapsucker,
Red bellied woodpecker, Chickadees, Titmouse, Cardinals, Ruby crowned kinglet, Robins and Pine warbler and Orange crowned warbler.
But I dont have one of those cameras...so you will just have to take my word for it...tee hee...

Seneca Township board members discussed Feb. 9 the possibility of scheduling a collection of used tires. Surrounding townships and the City of Morenci will be contacted to see if there's any interest in participating.
One company contacted charges a set price for each tire collected, said township clerk Allison Ott, and the township would be responsible for hauling the tires to the waste removal company's site. Another company would bring a trailer to the collection site.
Either way, Ott said, residents would be required to pay a fee to cover the cost of the collection.
Ott said the township board is considering the collection as a service to help keep roadsides and property cleaner.
TRASH—The board accepted a bid from Archbold Refuse Service for spring cleanup trash collection April 18. Allied Waste, the company used in the past, did not submit a bid.
The ARS bid is below the cost of last year's collection, and it includes an extended collection time until 2 p.m. rather than noon.
PA 116—P.A. 116 agreements (Farmland and Open Spaces Preservation Program) were accepted for Bruinsma Dairy (one) and Pickles Farms (four).
BUILDING FEES—Revised building code fees will be discussed at the March meeting when building inspector Kevin Arquette will be present to explain details of the code.
A reference page of the existing fee structure is missing and a draft replacement was written by Ott, with the help of Arquette.
MAEMS—As of Jan. 9, the Morenci Area EMS service showed $2,473 in the checking account and $990 in savings.

Okay, like you wrote, I thought, I´d maybe miss something... No, nobody told me to buy the old kite, it was just me, forgetting what they told us during the course and beeing excited to get a Kite so cheap. (I can´t wait to finally start the season ) But after I enrolled it at home, I remembered some words the instructors said and thats why I asked here again
Alright, I think it´s a good advice to look for bodyequipment first. I really still have no clue of the different kitestyles and brands, so I´ll take your advice and wait with the kite until next summer and then look for one.
Thank you again, nice that you help a nooby without insulting him like in some other forums

Ryan Bingham's "The Weary Kind" beat out Paul McCartney among others for Best Original Song. Great, great song, a richly deserved win. Unfortunately, Bingham was completely MIA, leaving T. Bone Burnett to make a clumsy acceptance.
Bingham's song, and Jeff Bridges' performance as washed-up country legend Bad Blake, elevated this film from tired cliche to art.
Bingham also has a small part in the film, as the leader of the band that backs up Blake for a show at a bowling alley.
U.S. & World
Michael Giacchino followed up with a win for Best Score for "Up," how gushed that it was "so cool to hear Paul McCartney shout, 'Go, Michael! Go!"
