Safe Sleep for Babies
There have been dramatic improvements in reducing baby deaths during sleep since the 1990s, when recommendations were introduced to place babies on their back for sleep.
This and other safe sleep practices can help lower the risk of sleep-related infant deaths.

Nature Research Center
I worked on the team at Batwin + Robin Productions to help create some of the many interactive components of exhibits in the Nature Research Center, a new wing of the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. B+R produced more than 55 innovative experiential media exhibits. Of those, I designed the UI and content for 15 interactives, and designed and/or edited several non-interactive projections.
The Nature Research Center won the Silver award in the 2012 Event Design for Best Museum Environment.
"I've enjoyed working with Liz on numerous projects from After Effects Design for motion video to interactive screen design to live venue projection. Her design work is special and her collaboration spirit is wonderful."

I am super excited about The 52 Lists Project. The buzz surrounding this book is BIG. It has been featured on many websites and a several magazines. Pretty sure once it was featured in O Magazine its best selling fate was sealed! Written by Morrea Seal , it is a journal of lists to be completed throughout the year. The photographs and illustrations are beautiful, plus lists are easy to write. The list topics range from the wildest things you want to try to things that always cheer you up. Fun, right? My perfect spot to write my lists would be a cozy cafe during a mid-week morning. While that won't always be possible, carving out time each week just for this purpose seems completely doable.
During the holidays this book was literally impossible to get. {Amazon was even on back order!} My local book seller ordered me multiple copies but they didn't arrive in time for gift giving. SO, I have an extra copy and have decided to give it away to one of my readers! If you are inspired to be part of The 52 Lists Project, please enter! I would love to send you a copy.
How to enter:
The first list in the book asks you to list your goals and dreams for the year. Leave a comment below that includes a goal you have for the year or something you would like more of in 2016. Please leave your comment by NOON on Wednesday, January 13, 2016. One winner will be chosen by random drawing.
Good luck!
**{UPDATE} Congratulations, Becky!
This giveaway is hosted by me because I love my readers! xoxo

Growing seedlings
Many vegetable and ornamental crops are very sensitive to cold, and they are harmful to any setback which in our climate happen until the end of May.Therefore, they can not be in the open ground until the moment when the danger has passed the last spring frost.The seeds of heat-loving crops require specific germination and, most importantly, a stable temperature, which should not be below 20 ° C.Otherwise, the germination process is suppressed or even impossible.In addition, the duration of the heat season in our climatic conditions is not sufficient for the passage of a full cycle of a plant from seed to fruit in the open field - the plant does not have time to fully develop and bear fruit after seed germination.Therefore, germination, initial growth and entry into the stage of active growth of plants should take place in secure conditions: in the greenhouse, greenhouse or on a windowsill in an apartment.After that the plant falls into open ground already fully formed, with an extensive root system, cap
There is another argument in favor of the pre-growing seedlings for certain types of crops.Cucumbers, for example, can be grown from seedlings, and can be planted in open ground hill method in the end of May, but the plants are grown from seedlings, will harvest much earlier planted seeds, thus extending the period of cucumber harvest.The same applies to such crops as cabbage, kohlrabi, lettuce.
Why do I need to grow seedlings
have seeds of heat-loving vegetables and ornamental kulvgur able to grow only at a sufficiently high temperature, soil and air.
** Young sprouts of heat-loving plants are very sensitive to cold, harsh spring change of day and night temperatures, late frost.
Due to the short duration of the heat of the season the plant does not have time in our climatic conditions to complete a full cycle of development from seed to fruiting, the fruit can not ripen
Growing seedlings allows you to artificially prolong the heat season of the plant due to the fact that the initial stage of growth, itwill take place in favorable conditions, greenhouse or apartment.
raisings plant falls into open lb-formed, robust and ready for further development.
When growing seedlings is possible to obtain an earlier harvest.
process of growing seedlings is not too complicated and time-consuming, but it has a number of features and rules that need to be considered and carry for healthy strong plants.The ideal place for the cultivation of seedlings is the heated greenhouse or heated bed in a cold greenhouse.There is no need to sow the seeds of heat-loving crops directly in the garden, you can sow them in a warm room, and then transferred to a bed.And yet the most affordable way is growing seedlings on a window in the living room.To do this, choose the brightest window, preferably facing the south or west side, and do not start planting in February or early March, when the solar irradiance level is still insufficient.For growing seedlings indoors are flat average depth of plastic or wooden trays with holes in the bottom of to drain excess water and land
special substrates.Simple land ready for cultivation, for example, house plants are not suitable, because it contains a considerable amount of fertilizer.Land for growing seedlings, you can prepare yourself by mixing sand, peat and screened mature compost or garden soil of humus topsoil in equal shares.
containers for growing seedlings should be disinfected, the substrate can be poured rather weak solution of potassium permanganate, as the sand which is sprinkled the soil surface for sowing seeds, you must be ignited.These simple precautions will help prevent the spread of plant diseases and to grow healthy seedlings.

Can anyone tell me the web address for this place and if anyone knows anything about it
Can anyone tell me the web address for this place and if anyone knows anything about it
this small riad is tucked in an ill famed street . I don't think it has a website
Please tell me more? What do you mean exactly?
Do you know anything about Dar Elqadi?
If I, a local, feel unsafe walking down the alley that hosts that riad, how would you feel? Although l'heure d'été is just off the the main square its location leaves much to be desired. young loafers just hanng around pesting walkers by. Sorry I'm not familiar with riad Elqadi but there so many nice riads out there
Thanks very much for your reply.
We will not be going there.
We are a family of 6. Mum , dad and 4 girls aged 20 to 25 years having a family reunion holiday in morocco.
Can you recommend a few places to stay.
We are coming at the end of December when everyone seems to put up their prices.
Dar El Qadi is at 79 derb el Qadi Quarter Arbest is that a good or bad location
if you don't mind the bustle and hustle of the medina you can stay at Riad Elqadi. Otherwis eyou could try La maison arabe which is one of the finest riads in Marrakech . It has a cookery school and swimming pool on a lush farm. If that is too expensive try 1000 nights; Dar ADONAB; DAR DOUKKALA, Riad MALIKA -- not necessarily in that order.
For other tips on must -see and excursions let me know.
The website for L'Heure d'Été is www.lheure-dete.com
Thanks for that website address.
Do you share the same view about its location. I want my family to have a safe holiday. Maybe we should always have a local with us where ever we go. What do you think? If so how much would it cost?
Well, as far as I'm aware it's in one of the small alleys off Riad Zitoune Lakdim, which is one of the busiest streets in Marrakech. I've never felt unsafe in that area.
Thanks for that Dysfunctional I have been looking at reviews for months without booking anything and now everything is filling up and getting more expensive. Do you know of Dar El Qadi and if so what is your view. Thanks Zansue.
Hi, the web address is www.darelqadi.com

" We were very happy with the job. We would definitely use Secure Pave again. "
Have you recently had a pool installed or is thinking of installing a pool, and would like help with the pool coping and surrounding paving?
For most people – besides a house or car – a swimming pool can be the single biggest expense. And if you are going to spend that sort of money you will want it done right the first time. A swimming pool is something that is going to be used time and time again, especially during those hot summers when we are spending time with our family and friends, soaking up the rays, playing volleyball in the pool, or just simply relaxing with a few drinks. Nothing could be more embarrassing than having a coping paver fall off into the pool, or seeing cracks in your grout when sitting by the water's edge. At Secure Pave, we guarantee the quality of all our work so you know thats it's going to stand the test of time.
There is nothing more enjoyable and rewarding than to be sitting around your brand new pool admiring how beautiful its beauty and getting compliments along the way.
Whether it be a fibreglass or concrete pool, Secure Pave can lay all types of paving around your pool, from Large Format pavers to Natural Stone. Secure Pave has the experience to get the job done right the first time using quality adhesives suitable for pools and by making your pool the feature of your backyard to standout from the rest.
Pool coping is the edge paver that goes around the top of the swimming pool which defines the edge of the pool. It is an essential finishing technique for all swimming pools. It seals the the pool shell or structure from the surrounds, as well as acting to protect the outside parts of the pool from water damage.
As well as being practical, pool coping and waterline tiles are still incredibly attractive, and becomes an essential part of the aesthetics of the pool. The pool coping can be a standalone feature, much like garden edging, or it can be the part of the pool that ties the pool into the paved area. When it comes to pool coping, there are different types that you can choose from. Pool coping generally comes in two finishes, for example – square edged (a straight down finish) or bull nose (where one or more edges are rounded to provide a softer finish). Which finish you choose will depend on the look that you prefer, and who will be using the pool. For instance, bull nose pool coping can be safer if you have small children who could potentially bump their heads on the edge of the pool.
Pool coping also comes in different materials. The most common include natural stone (limestone, sandstone, slate, granite etc), concrete pavers, clay pavers, and brick. These materials come in a range of colours and patterns which can all be easily sealed to prevent water from the pool causing damage or leaving water marks. A non slip coating is best as it will increase safety and reduce the risk of people slipping on the coping.

What is an example of dramatic irony in Act 1 of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, other than the one in Scene 5 in which Romeo and Juliet meet without yet knowing that their families are mortal enemies?
- print Print
- list Cite
Dramatic irony refers to a moment when the audience knows far more about the reality of a character's situation than the character knows. The moment that Romeo and Juliet meet certainly is an example of dramatic irony because the reader knows that, due to their families' feud, the two young people are supposed to be enemies, but neither Romeo nor Juliet have realized this yet. A second good example of dramatic irony in the first act can be seen with respect to Romeo's early perspective on Rosaline.
When we first meet Romeo, he feels he is madly in love with Rosaline and is absolutely heartbroken because she is rejecting his love. In the second scene, Romeo even proclaims that he could never think of a woman as being more beautiful than Rosaline and to think so would even be a heresy against the "devout religion of [his] eye," meaning a divergence from the intense faithfulness he feels for Rosaline, so faithful that he is metaphorically referring to it as a religion. Most ironically, he exclaims, "One fairer than my love? The all-seeing sun / Ne'er saw her match since first the world begun" (I.ii.96-97). However, the reader knows what Romeo does not yet know--that Romeo will fall in love with a woman who returns his affections, and they will both take their lives. Since Rosaline is rejecting Romeo, we know that Rosaline is not the other half of the "pair of star-cross'd lovers [that] take their life" mentioned in the opening prologue (First Prologue.6). The dramatic irony of Romeo's proclamations that none can be more beautiful than Rosaline is even solidified in Scene 5, when Romeo proclaims after seeing Juliet, "Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! / For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night" (I.v.54-55). Hence we see that the moment Romeo declares he could never think of anyone being more beautiful than Rosaline is a perfect example of dramatic irony.

Ashley Tisdale was just one of several High School Musical alum to meet up at East High to film the upcoming reunion special.
"I just love that we all still love each other and love hanging out with each other and have that connection, you know?" Tisdale said during an interview with Entertainment Tonight. "It was a really special moment in our lives."
Vanessa Hudgens, Corbin Bleu, Monique Coleman, and Lucas Grabeel joined Ashley Tisdale to film the upcoming televised special. Zac Efron wasn't available to join the rest of the High School Musical gang, but will appear during the special via a pre-recorded message to fans.
"Nobody thought it was going to be as successful as it was," Ashley Tisdale said of HSM. "It was really, purely because of the fans that it was that successful and the fact that they've supported us throughout the years has been amazing."
Oh the feels....... Get ready because we're back celebrating 10th anniversary #wildcats #hsm https://t.co/zEfwNXGcfr pic.twitter.com/nk93vrChtd
— AshleyTisdaleFrench (@ashleytisdale) January 17, 2016
While chatting with ET, Ashley Tisdale played a game of High School Musical Graduation Superlatives. See if you agree with her answers.
Most likely to win an Oscar: Tisdale gave this one to Zac Efron.
Most likely to have kids: "Let's not [say] me… I'm not having kids any time soon," Ashley Tisdale laughed. "She's going to hate me that I'm saying this right now [but] the pressure is on Monique!"
Most likely to coordinate a reunion: Ashley laid claim to this one.
Are you excited to learn Ashley Tisdale, Vanessa Hudgens, and more are starring in a High School Musical reunion? On the same note, who's bummed that Zac Efron will only appear via a pre-recorded message?
The High School Musical 10-year reunion airs Wednesday night, January 20, on The Disney Channel.

It seems football can make us into a news story. Last year Dan's "Go Broncos" sign went viral. This year Tom's sign about deflated faith made the news on local television stations
ABC6, and FOX. It was also in the Providence Journal
While the sign was inspired by the news, people who aren't sure about their faith are invited to join us. We are all on a journey.
And, for the record, Tom McKibbens, our Interim Minister and former college football player, is a Pats man.

(read the first Science Camp post here) If you're also reading on Christie's blog, A Lemon Squeezy Home, you're getting a double dose of science camp information. Sorry about that. But this was a huge project, and one of the most fun, rewarding thing I've done with my children. So overlap and all, I'm documenting it!
The first day was all about arriving, setting up and getting acquainted (my kids were the only ones that knew everyone else). We roasted hot dogs and made s'mores for dinner. I was supposed to talk about the science behind melting along with the s'mores. But in the rush to eat, since we were running a few hours late due to Suzi's exploding tire, I completely forgot. But the s'mores were tasty even without the knowledge behind them. We also had them with Nutella. I *highly* recommend this over regular milk chocolate. But then I don't really like milk chocolate, so my opinion is already bias…towards awesomeness!
The second day started out with Christie doing an area overview. Poor Christie, she got stuck with this topic when both Suzi and I have been the ones spending nearly every summer of our lives down here. But she did awesome. We discussed local floral and fauna, with the kids drawing pictures of what they'd already observed around them. She went over rocks and even found a huge sandstone for the kids to feel. The coolest part of that was that you could also see the layers in it. I loved how hands-on our camp was. I'm sure that's why the kids were so engaged the whole time. Not only were they learning the facts, they were playing with the science. Keeping the attention span of 10 kids ages five to 11 is no simple feat, but we had no issues whatsoever. The kids all did every assignment, and were so on-task. Then Suzi did a unit on weather. Suzi teaches fourth grade, and has even won awards for her teaching in California and Nevada. It's funny, as her sister, seeing her go into teaching mode. She loves it and it shows. She had the kids imagine different types of weather (can you tell Christie's son, C, is imagining a hot summer day?!)
And then Suzi launched into a series of really awesome experiments:
Weather in a Bag:
Cloud Observation
Feeling Steam/Condensation
Condensation and Frost in Tin Cans
Cloud in a Bag
and a Homemade Thermometer
After each experiment, as a true teacher, Suzi had the kids record their observations in their notebooks
And then it was back to Christie for Sun Science. We did an overview of various sun facts,then Christie had the kids do sun art with photosensitive paper. It was super cool. The kids each got two pieces: one to use the included stencils with and one to go out and find natural objects to use.
Then they'd walk out in the sun until the paper turned white
After a rinse in water, the art dried to look like this
It was like magic and the kids thought it was awesome. I did, too.
And then we let them start fires. Okay, not really, but Christie talked about the sun's power and we used the magnifying glasses to burn holes in paper. Only my oldest was the only one that could get the paper to burn. After some trial and error, we discovered if we put dried weeds on top of the paper, it would ignite, and we could burn the holes that way. The kids spent so long doing this, and we even had to lay down some rules to keep the older ones from burning down the place the rest of camp. But seriously cool, and a useful skill to have.
In all our scheduled learning, us adults had made sure to schedule plenty of free time. We wanted this to be fun, relaxed and something the kids were excited about, not overwhelmed with. So even though we had more planned, after a full morning of science, the kids seemed to need a little bit more play. We had a water balloon fight, that last all of five minutes (the prep time : play time ratio for water balloons is super lame, fyi). And then buckets were brought out and the real fun began.
For those that didn't want to fight with water, we laid a shower curtain out with the hose and had a homemade, really small, kind of ghetto, but still somehow fun slip n'slide.
As much fun as the kids had, Suzi, Christie and I laughed so.hard. watching the kids playing. We sat in the shade refereeing, chatting, and egging them on.
After dinner, Christie had the kids make ice cream in a can. It was so funny watching the various methods the kids employed to "roll" their cans…
We had the traditional rollers
The toss and catchers
And, my favorite, the head butters
It took some time, but after a while, we had ice cream
Christie's and my oldests were the first to achieve the finished product. And it couldn't have happened to two more humble, reserved children.
Yeah, they were a bit proud.
But everyone eventually got there
By this time it was after 9:00, and we thought the kids would be exhausted. They were, but they were also insistent and unanimous in wanting to go over the science unit we had skipped earlier in the day. So with the kids pleas for more science, it was Suzi's turn for a late-night space lesson
She had the kids make planets out of Play-Doh, completing each layer separately And then cutting open
To observe the various layers
We had planned for the kids to all have lights out by 9:00 every night. We'd even packed movies and a DVD player for us adults to have some down time by ourselves in the evenings. But none of us, kids included, got to bed before 11:00 any of the three nights. We had so much going on and we were having too much fun to ever be done anywhere close to 9:00. It made for some bleary mornings, but again, no complaining from the kids. Their excitement for it all kept us adults going, too. And we had even more planned for the next day…

Dance Performance & Summer Camp | Loepsie's Life
Helloooo my lovely readers! As you're reading this, I'm somewhere in a wood in the dunes, cooking for a bunch of hungry scouts. My second camp of the summer! The camp for my little kids ended yesterday, and I'm super tired already, but as my only task at this camp is to cook I'm sure I'll be able to relax and gather my strength, haha! Let's take a look at what my week has been like!
The day before my dance performance I still felt sick, and at this point I was getting nervous. We'd been preparing for this performance for months and months, not to mention this is probably my last dance performance in a long time if not ever. I really wanted to be there! So I took it really easy for one last day and laid down all day. The sun was out so I read Harry Potter in the garden for a bit.
On Sunday I was still feeling a little weak, but I was determined to go to the theatre. I ended up performing nine times and making it through the day fine, yay! I was super happy I went, the whole day was great and I had lots of fun with the ladies.
Doing the floor bits without any protection took its toll though, look at my knees! Haha! It doesn't hurt much but man, does this look bad. I'd better not wear shorts for the next couple of weeks… 😉
My family left on Monday for a holiday in Spain. I decided not to join them this year so that I'd be able to take it a bit more easy during summer. I stayed behind to watch the ratties!
Just me and the boys now.
Grocery haul! I got bread, nachos, leek, avocados, sandwich spread, lentils, tomatoes, cherries and hummus.
In the evening I headed over to dance class to watch the recording of the show. We performed three times in the show and hadn't gotten to see much of the rest of the show yet, so it was really fun to see everything come together.
We stayed a little longer to chat with the instructor and say goodbye for summer.
In fact, we stayed way too long, so I had a really late dinner of lenils, leek and tomato.
Off to Utrecht! I couldn't go over at all last week since I was sick, so I really had to go take out the garbage, water the plants and pick up some stuff.
While I was there I filmed this tutorial for Jane Eyre inspired hair.
Time to clean up this mess and head out!
Just needed to take a couple of things, you know. I managed to take all of this on my bike, haha!
Robbert came over in the afternoon and we binged some Orange is the new Black.
I spent most of Wednesday filming and editing videos, so that I'd have some content going up on both channels while I'm away at camp. I filmed the student tag for Loepsie NL, amongst others!
In the afternoon we had the final meeting at scouting to prepare for the beaver scout camp that was starting on Friday.
Some rattie cuddle & play time before bed!
Last chance to do some editing! I filmed one more video as well.
I had another go at aquafaba chocolate mousse, to bring to D&D tonight. I finally got the mousse to the right consistency, but this time I messed up the chocolate. I'm so horrible with desserts! I ended up bringing some fresh fruit instead.
We gathered at my friend's house in Gouda for our final traditional D&D session. The DM is moving to Ireland soon and we'll be digitalising one campaign and starting a new one as well, so this was one of the final sessions of my first ever D&D campaign. I was really sad but we decided to continue this campaign whenever he comes over to the Netherlands, so it's not over for good.
We wanted to make the "last" session special, and there's something we'd been talking about for a long time… You know how when you're a kid, it's your biggest dream to eat desserts only? And when your parents say no, you tell them you'll do it anyway when you're of age? And then you come of age and you completely lose the desire to eat only desserts so you never end up doing it? Well, we decided to honour our past selves for this one time and have only desserts for dinner. An array of desserts was brought out and it was amazing. My friend is an amazing baker and she made the most delicious scones, pancakes, profiteroles, tiramisu, and carrot cake. We had lots of fresh fruit and a cheese platter to save us, and wow guys. It was bliss. Although I think doing this once was quite enough, haha!
D-day! The start of my last beaver camp. I started the day off right with this ridiculously disappointing avocado, haha!
We always have a theme to our camps, and this year we noticed throughout the year that the kids talk about Minecraft all-the-time. All the time. So we thought what better theme to pick than Minecraft? Steve came over to ask our help with finding and defeating the Ender dragon. The kids LOVED it! You should've seen their little faces when they saw Steve among all those blocks and saw their favourite game come to life, it was precious. They eagerly gathered everything he needed for him throughout the camp.
Gotta have a fire and roast marshmallows, of course!
The camp was a great success, I have to say. You'll see the rest of it in next week's photo diary, have a good one guys!

The game is centered around [[RollerbladeGood roller-blading]] [[GangBangers street gangs consisting of teens and young adults called rudies]], who battle for turf by spraying graffiti around the streets of [[UsefulNotes/{{Tokyo}} Tokyo-to]]. Meanwhile, the rudies' culture is under attack by an evil corporate conglomerate called the Rokkaku Group which seeks to homogenize the city and whose [[CorruptCorporateExecutive leader]] seeks to take over the world through demonic means. The game is also known for [[TropeMaker pio]][[TropeCodifier neering]] the use of CelShading to create cartoonish characters and backgrounds using 3D polygon graphics, and its use in this game popularized the style in interactive media as a whole. Additionally, the game is also remembered for its [[AwesomeMusic/JetSetRadio eclectic soundtrack]].In 2002, a sequel was released for the UsefulNotes/{{Xbox}} called ''Jet Set Radio Future''. Set rather ambiguously to the first game, ''Future'' is more of a [[ReformulatedGame "remix"]]. The story is much the same, with some new twists and new elements, though the characters of the game are very different, and the city of Tokyo-to has seen a very drastic overhaul. The game was made to play much faster, replacing the [[ActionCommands joystick graffiti spraying]] with a simple 'hold the button and run' system, as well as making grinding a much more important skill (as well as making it easier to do).Despite heavy promotion from Sega, neither game sold that well. ''JSRF'' was bundled with new Xbox consoles along with ''SEGA GT 2002''. While both games received critical acclaim and are fondly remembered, sales weren't enhanced as much as one would hope. Despite everything, the series was very well received, even to this day, with ''Jet Set Radio'' considered to be one of the Dreamcast's defining games, and ''Jet Set Radio Future'' being considered one of the Xbox's best exclusives. The games have gotten plenty of love from the ''VideoGame/SegaSuperstars'' crossover games, especially ''All-Stars Racing'', which features nothing but ''Future'' representation. The game was also featured in Anime/HisCooolSeHaGirls in late 2014.The original ''Jet Set Radio'' was re-released in full HD on Xbox Live Arcade, Playstation Network, and PC in September 2012, getting the series a newfound popularity. It was also released on iOS and Android, but these versions have since been removed due to a percieved low quality from SEGA.Not to be confused with ''VideoGame/JetSetWilly'', a completely unrelated game.----!!The ''Jet Set Radio'' series contains the following tropes:%% I have commented out some zero context examples; someone familiar with this please fix them, or remove them if they're shoehorned.* HundredPercentCompletion: In ''JSRF'', after beating the main storyline, if you collect every collectable in a level (which requires you to meet several prerequisites to make them all appear), you unlock additional challenges that require you race against the clock which, when completed in a set, gets you another character. The crushing thing is that some of [[AndYourRewardIsClothes the "new" characters share the same stats as another core character, and are pretty much just a different skin/model and voice]]. Further added to in that, should you redo all your graffiti in all levels, [[CosmeticAward you get absolutely nothing.]] Seriously.* AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: This game takes it to the extreme, especially in ''JSRF''. Expect to spend a few chunks of both games in these.* AcidTripDimension: The final boss level in ''JSRF''.* ActionCommands: When "tagging", the larger the tag, the more commands. Totally absent in ''JSRF''.* AdaptationDyeJob: And how. Tab/Corn goes from brunette to blond (and so does Piranha/Boogie), Yoyo goes from being a redhead to having lime green hair, and Combo goes from having black hair to [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair blue hair]]. Not to mention everybody changes outfits, and most of the changes are pretty significant, too.* [[AdaptationalVillainy Adaptational Rivalry]]: The Noise Tanks from the original Jet Set Radio were [[PlayfulHacker Playful Hackers]] who sold software to pay for their hobbies and were responsible for causing a blackout months before the game began. In Jet Set Radio Future, the Noise Tanks are still mischevious, but are [[RetCon Retconned]] into cyborgs created by Rokkaku determined to destroy the [=GGs=]. * AllCrimesAreEqual: Graffiti removal is SeriousBusiness. For first-time offenders, a plainclothes cop blows your head off with a magnum. [[UpToEleven Twice, and a SWAT team gets called in.]] [[SerialEscalation Three times, and the army rolls in with their]] ''[[SerialEscalation missile-launching Apache Helicopters]].''* AllThereInTheManual: The year ''Future'' takes place is never explained in-game, but according to pre-release details and advertisements, it's set in the year 2024. Some details about characters in ''Grind'' are also only seen in the manual.* AfroAsskicker: The Golden Rhinos each look they they've stepped out of a Tarantino film, with seventies hair and [[BadassMustache mustaches]].* AmazingTechnicolorBattlefield: The finale of ''JSRF''.* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: Potts, a blue pooch (green in ''JSRF''). * AmazonBrigade: The Love Shockers and Rapid 99.* AnthropomorphicZigZag: Once unlocked as a playable character, Potts can transform from a quadruped into a rollerblading, spraycan-wielding canine of justice. This occurs as a result of his dog-napping by the Noise Tanks, who outfit him with a helmet which makes Potts believe he's a cow. During a second playthrough, the Noise Tanks finally agree to 'fix' Potts - but only if you earn a "Jet" ranking in every stage.* AndYourRewardIsClothes: In ''JSRF'', several hidden characters are often nothing more than re-skins; despite having to get a "Jet" rank on several difficult challenges to play as minor characters and antagonists, several of them turn out to be pretty much the same thing. Note that it's not even subtle sometimes with certain combinations: Cube, [[spoiler: the ex-leader of Poison Jam]], is different only in clothes and color, even retaining the same skills and dances; the same applies for [=YoYo=], Beat and [[spoiler: their robot counterparts, who are identical save for different colors and an altered model respectively.]]* ArtAttacker: Your strange graffiti is somehow strong enough to knock out policemen and destroy machinery, up to and including helicopters and giant mecha.* AxCrazy: Hayashi - though considering who he works for, it might not be much of a stretch. Hayashi's been known to blow up police cars if his toadies fetch him the wrong flavor of candy.-->'''Prof. K''': Can you believe this fool?* BadassLongcoat[=/=]HighCollarOfDoom: Hayashi.* BaldOfEvil[=/=]BeardOfEvil: Gouji Rokkaku sports a vampiric goatee, but his head is completely bare.* BareYourMidriff: Cube and Piranha.** The Love Shockers too, along with a CleavageWindow added in ''JSRF''.** The Rapid 99 get bonus points for essentially not wearing any pants, which cannot be good for rollerblading at all.* BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: [[spoiler:When Rokkaku sucks you and hundreds of bystanders into his HumongousMecha,]] you are transported into an acid-trip version of Tokyo-to filled with shadow creatures that constantly run after you. During all this, Rokkaku situates himself on the highest part of his dreamworld where he then transforms himself into a giant monster on skates. You have to grind and jump all the way up in order to fight him.* BigApplesauce: Grind City. You can see the [[BrooklynRage Brooklyn Bridge]] from Bantam Street, though that stage is allegedly modeled on UsefulNotes/{{Chicago}}.** FultonStreetFolly: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] with Grind Square (a parody of Manhattan's Times Square). The streets are deathly quiet, with the only foot traffic consisting of uzi-packing mooks.* BilingualBonus: Rude boy, rudeboy, rudie, rudi or rudy were common terms for juvenile delinquents and criminals in 1960s Jamaica, and have since been used in other contexts.** [[spoiler: Gouji's final boss form in ''Future'', A.Ku.Mu, means "Nightmare" in Japanese.]]* BlindIdiotTranslation: Thought it never gets downright incomprhensible, it's clear that ''Future's'' English script is just a straight translation of the Japanese script, but with a ton of typos, grammatical errors, and mismatched subtitles thrown in.* BloodlessCarnage: Even a missile will merely knock you off your feet for a while.* BloodierAndGorier: The original ''Jet Set Radio'' had plenty of violence, mostly of the Wile E. Coyote sort; but only Gouji died onscreen, and Coin perished in a single static comic panel. The sequel took the safety brakes off and gave the bad guys gruesome deaths.* {{Bowdlerize}}: Some songs in both games had certain lyrics cut in order for the games to retain a Teen rating. For example, in "Birthday Cake", the original version has a verse that goes: "''It's moldy mom, isn't it?'' // ''I DON'T GIVE A FLYING'' ''[[PrecisionFStrike FUCK]]'' ''THOUGH!!!''" The game's version cuts right to the chorus after the "It's moldy, mom..." lyric. Another example, "I'm Not a Model" had a segment where a woman goes into disturbing detail on giving oral sex. This part was cut in the game version for obvious reasons.* BuccaneerBroadcaster: Tokyo-to's gang activity is reported via a pirate radio station named [[TitleDrop Jet Set Radio]], hosted by DJ Professor K.--> [[TheStinger "What's that? You think I just made all that up?"]]* BurningRubber: The skates in ''JSRF'' emit plumes of flames when you go fast enough.* CameraScrew: Both games have pretty miserable cameras, with the only game having an adjustable camera being the HD re-release of the original. Both games require you to reset the camera to move it, which works sometimes and screws you over other times. ''Future's'' camera also snaps to look at your piece while spraying, blocking your view from heading into a BottomlessPit and also managing to screw up your controls.* CarFu: ''JGR'''s cops have no compunctions about running you over with their cruisers or motorbikes.* CastOfSnowflakes* CelShading: The original game was the first to do this with both black outlines, and the use of two-tone shading on characters.* ChangingOfTheGuard: In ''JSR'', Yo-Yo is a character unlocked near the end of the first chapter. In ''Future'', he replaces Beat as the first person you play as and who has to go through the tutorial. Subverted as [[spoiler: he's kidnapped and rendered unplayable for about two-thirds of the game.]]* CharacterSelectForcing: On your first playthrough, the Grind City flashbacks may only be played through as Combo or Cube. You can select anybody you like during a NewGamePlus.* ChekhovsGun: In Chapter 5 of ''Future'' you can see an evil-looking tower in the background. No attention is drawn to it, and no one mentions it, so you'd assume it to just be a background element, right? [[spoiler: Turns out it's the device used by the BigBad at the end of the game to absorb some sort of energy from the people of Tokyo-to, and sends you and them into an alternate dimension.]]* CityOfAdventure* ClimbingClimax: In ''Jet Set Radio Future''.* [[ClusterFBomb Cluster S-Bomb/Cluster N-Bomb]]: The song ''Rockin' the Mic''.** "Rock It On" near the end of the song.* ColdSniper: If you see a red laser sight pointed at you, it means a Golden Rhino sniper is nearby. Luckily, they're complete cowards and run away if you confront them head-on.* CollisionDamage: Bumping anyone in any way in the original can send you flying in the opposite direction. Not only is the damage and knockback reduced in ''Future'', but if you bump an enemy in the back, ''they'' take damage! * CombatCommentator: Professor K fills this role in the sequel, providing such useful gems as, "Wow, [[CaptainObvious you're pretty flammable!]]"* CookingDuel: The gangs resort to competitions of skating skill to settle their differences directly. All of the 'boss' battles are just tagging people within a set time limit. ItMakesSenseInContext.* [[ConvenientlyEmptyBuilding Conveniently Empty Streets]]: The moment the military shows up, pedestrians magically vanish from the scene. Needless to say, this removes ([[MoralDissonance some]]) of the guilt associated with crashing helicopters into commercial buildings.** When you fight the Immortals on Highway Zero in ''Future'', you can clearly see busy traffic before the cutscene, but after that's over, all vehicles disappear to make way for your battle.* CouldntFindAPen[=/=]DyingClue: Coin's final instructions to his friends were, fittingly enough, written in graffiti. It's a cryptic mural featuring rhinos, an airplane and arrow pointing to Tokyo-to. Presumably, the Rhinos didn't catch onto its meaning.* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Rokkaku Gouji, who already owns the city. Now he wants to make it official.* {{Crawl}}: Grind Square has a couple of fake news tickers.* CulturePolice: The uniformed police, military, and later ''trained assassins'' all play this role, trying to suppress a skater counterculture.* DefeatMeansPlayable: The rival gangs (and even Gouji!), should you rack up enough points.** Points aren't even required to recruit [[spoiler:Cube. You just have to continue playing until she comes back out of hiding.]]* DemotedToExtra: The Love Shockers in ''Future''. Combo also suffered from this, with all of his plot relevancy being transferred to Cube.* DisneyVillainDeath: Gouji's ultimate fate in ''JGR''.* DismantledMacGuffin: The Devil's Contract, a vinyl record rumored to [[SummoningRitual summon a demonic entity]]. Somewhere along the line, the record was broken into three shards and scattered between Grind City and Tokyo-to.* DisproportionateRetribution: Thinking of tagging up the streets of Tokyo-to? Be prepared to have '''tanks''' and '''helicopters with missiles''' coming after you.* DramaticStutter: Once he's safe inside his trippy light show, ''JSRF'''s Gouji suddenly goes all [[VideoGame/SystemShock SHODAN]].* DontTryThisAtHome: Both games display a message about graffiti being criminal when starting up.* EdibleThemeNaming: Probably unintentional, but some of the rudies have names like Beat (beet), (bubble)Gum, Corn and Garam (Malay for salt)* EgoPolis: The drive behind Rokkaku's crackdown on the streets is to pave the way for his "Rokkaku Expo", essentially branding everything with his logo.* EliteMooks: The Golden Rhinos replace the police after you've run through all the levels once.* EnemyChatter: The police dispatcher and Onishima can be heard barking orders over their radio. Gouji and his Golden Rhinos take over the airwaves later.* EvilBrit: The unseen voice commanding the Golden Rhinos over their PA system.* EvilCounterpart: "DJ Big Gouji" could be seen as an evil counterpart to Professor K.* EvilKnockoff: Zero Beat.* EvilLaugh: Onishima, Assassin #4 Hayashi, and Gouji in equal measure.* EvilTowerOfOminousness: Gouji Rokkaku's lair in both games. In ''JSRF'', he can't be bothered to name it.-->'''Gouji:''' "The name of this tower is -- well, [[BlahBlahBlah blah-diddly-blah-blah.]] '''''ITS NAME IS IRRELEVANT!'''''"* EvilTwin: NT-3000 is a robotic clone of Yoyo.* ExpressiveHair: Professor K's electrified hair is in a constant state of motion.* EyepatchOfPower: The Love Shockers wear these as part of their [[GangOfHats gang uniform]].* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:Yoyo in ''JSRF''. Later subverted when it�s revealed that he really was kidnapped the whole time, and the Noise Tanks had used [[EvilKnockoff NT-3000]] to make the [=GGs=] think he had turned on them.]]* FingerlessGloves Beat wears these in the first game, though in Jet Set Radio Future, he wears full gloves. In ''JSRF'', Yoyo wears fingerless gloves.* FlashbackEffects: The flashbacks to Grind City appear in sepia tone, then slowly shift to color.* FluffyTheTerrible: The [[{{UsefulNotes/Kawaisa}} cutesy]] Rokkaku mascot, a gold rhino in overalls. At the end of the game, the Rhino statue on the front of Gouji's building comes to life and starts belching fire.* ForcedTutorial: JSRF's is ''ridiculously'' easy.* ForTheEvulz: Unlike his counterpart in the first game, the Gouji of ''JSRF'' is truly crazy.* FourthWallMailSlot: Professor K reads aloud a couple letters from "Mr. Osaki", who is beset by roaches in his home. K jokingly advises him to burn his house down ([[AdviceBackfire which he does]]).* GangOfHats: A rather...quirky...variety of these. Most of them are just kids, though.* GasLeakCoverup: Gouji's death and the implosion of his building in ''JGR'' is written off as "a construction accident".* GasMaskMooks: Assassin #3 and his posse.* GenericGraffiti: Averted in ''JGR'', as some of the characters have their own tags. This isn't the case in ''JSRF'', where each gang has their own range of tags. The player can choose to avert or play with this, by choosing what they want to spray on the walls.* GeniusSweetTooth: The Noise Tanks are noted to have sworn off health food, subsisting entirely on artificial chemicals and sweeteners. [[spoiler:Subverted in that not only their diet contributed to their defeat, DJ Professor K also vaguely implies in the ending that they abandoned it in favor of fruits and veggies. ("The Noise Tanks are in repair.")]]* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: One of the tricks you can do is called "''Porn Star''".** JSRF features multiple songs implying and making explicit direct references to highly sexual situations, as well as the aformentioned "Porn Star" and a couple songs featuring completely uncensored explicit swearing. Really pushing that T rating.* AGodAmI: Rokkaku, towards the end.* GoodGunsBadGuns: The Rhinos are packing some serious heat: [=Mac-10s=] and dragonovs. * GondorCallsForAid: In the bonus mission (see RegionalBonus below), Combo and Cube are forced to flee Grind City after the Rokkaku kidnap the third member of their gang.* {{Gonk}}: Soda.* GoodHairEvilHair: Onishima inverts this trope by sporting a two-foot pompadour and a [[PermaStubble stubble]]. Oddly enough, this hairstyle is associated with delinquents in Japan. [[EpilepticTrees A clue to Onishima's enigmatic, tortured past?]]* GogglesDoNothing: Fairly ubiquitous amongst the cast, along with CoolShades.* GraffitiOfTheResistance: This is the premise in the games. Rokkaku and his corporation have bought practically all of Tokyo-toto in the future; your player character is a gang leader who sticks his middle finger to Rokkaku by spraying graffiti all over the town.* GratuitousJapanese: Gouji does this in the cutscene before his boss fight in JSRF.* GrindBoots: The rudie's rollerblades automatically attach to metallic surfaces, allowing for seamless grinding on rails, with the player not having to worry about keeping their balance.* HandCannon: [[AllPsychologyIsFreudian Compensating for something]], Onishima?* HiddenDepths: Call [[BigBad Gouji]] a CorruptCorporateExecutive all you want, but you ''have'' to admit; having turntablism skills so good that [[spoiler: you can both ''summon demons'' and '''''absorb the souls of Tokyo-to''''']] would ''not'' be something to gawk at.* HitTheGroundHarder: In Future, at least. Fall damage will happen upon landing once your character has begun their "I'm falling and screaming" animation. If you keep pulling air tricks on the way down, you won't get hurt upon hitting the ground. Because falling stylishly stops the force of impact from happening, of course!* HoistByHisOwnPetard: The Golden Rhinos of ''JSRF'' make colorful departures when defeated, such as getting hit by a stray missile fired from a Rokkaku harrier jet. The flamethrower assassin is immolated when her flame tank explodes, and then crushed by a falling billboard sign which she had previously set aflame.* HotbloodedSideburns: Professor K's ''JSRF'' incarnation.* HotterAndSexier: Gum, Mew/Rhyth, and Cube's outfits are skimpier in JSRF. And then there's [[ProgressivelyPrettier Yoyo]].* [[IHaveYourWife I Have Your Dog]]: The Noise Tank's path in the first game sees them kidnapping Potts and holding him hostage.* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: Against Poison Jam (who would have thought?). In the penultimate level, Rokkaku attaches [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brainwashing helmets]] to the trio and then sics them onto you.* IdleAnimation: All of the Rudies dance if left alone.* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: Dashing or grinding rails renders you invulnerable to police gunfire.* ImprobableWeaponUser: Every Rudie with a spray can. Adding to the fun, all the spray cans floating about are described in the tutorial as concentrated "Soul of the Streets". You're not just knocking down the police with graffiti, you're doing it with Soul juice!* ImprovisedWeapon: Graffiti has the ability to blow up skyscrapers, helicopters and mecha on a regular basis. "Agh, spray paint, my only weakness."* InASingleBound: Maybe justified because of the rocket-boots.* InformedAttribute: The character profiles on the official Japanese site for ''JSR''(as well as the [[http://beat.happydays.ro/post/102415841903 official Japanese guide)]] list a single defining characteristic and a favorite thing for each Rudie. But many of these traits aren't even [[AllThereInTheManual in the instruction manual]], never mind in the actual game. For example, Garam [[InformedFlaw is apparently short-tempered]] and Mew likes money.** Yoyo's profile for both games describe him as a SelfProclaimedLiar, which could explain why Professor K calls him "a guy who'll blow your mind with his silver tongue" in ''Future''.* {{Irony}}: Hideki Naganuma is well-known for the crazy funky electronic beats of both games (plus ''VideoGame/SonicRush''), but his work in the first game is actually the tamer stuff, with Deavid Soul and F-Fields providing the loudest, funkiest, craziest, densest, and closest to what someone today would picture Naganuma doing.* JapaneseDelinquents: The game is all about them.* JetPack: Assasin #2 and his cronies have jetpacks, allowing them to rain gunfire on areas that other mooks can't. By far the most [[DemonicSpiders irritating enemies]] in the game.* LargeHam: Rokakku Gouji is a modest [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnDTerbOGGo example.]] He's voiced by Creator/CharlesMartinet.** Onishima, as well.** LargeHamRadio: DJ Professor K, oh so very much.* LaughingMad: Gouji's last moments in ''JSRF''.* LawEnforcementInc: Rokkaku Gouji buys out the police department.* LeParkour: Assassin #5 isn't a big believer in stairs.* LemmingCops: During the revisit to Benten, you can trigger a hidden scene in which dozens of pursuing Rokkaku sedans crash into a giant, flaming pileup.* LetterMotif: The NTSC-U/PAL versions introduces three new characters from out of town: Coin, Combo, and Cube.* LivingStatue: Gouji's corporate {{Mascot}}, a giant cartoon rhino, is stationed on the front of his building. The statue comes to life during the final battle and begins [[BreathWeapon breathing fire]].* LoadBearingBoss: Defeating Rokkaku causes his entire skyscraper to explode.** Rokkaku's HumongousMecha starts to collapse after you defeat him at the end of ''JSRF''.* LocomotiveLevel: Sort of, in the sense that you're ''chasing after'' a locomotive robot.* LonelyAtTheTop: At the conclusion of the game, Professor K speculates this might have been the case with Gouji Rokkaku.* TheMenInBlack: The Golden Rhinos. Professor K announces their arrival by referring to them as a new gang; it's plain to see, however, that they're working for Rokkaku Corp. Their 'graffiti' is merely Rokkaku advertisements plastered over your own burners.* MadBomber: Assassin #4 has bombs strapped to his chest, though curiously he never uses them (his sidekicks, however, are [[SuicideAttack a different story]]). Instead, he specializes in lobbing [[MolotovCocktail molotovs]] and [[ExternalCombustion rigging cars to explode]].* MadeOfPhlebotinum: According to the opening narration, the Rudies' skates are powered by newly-developed "Netrium" batteries.* MalevolentMaskedMen: Poison Jam and the Noise Tanks.* ManOfWealthAndTaste: Gouji, again.* MarketBasedTitle: The original game was renamed "Jet Grind Radio" in America due to there being a band named Jet Set Satellite, and they feared that people would associate this game with them. The radio station is still referred to as "Jet ''Set'' Radio" in-game however, and the only changes are the title screen and the graffiti saying "To Jet Set Radio" in the intro is changed to "To Jet ''Grind'' Radio". This conflict was long gone by the time that JSRF and the HD re-release of the original came out, although the GBA port still retains the "Grind" title.* MaskedLuchador: Assassin #1 is a hulking, masked wrestler who also employs judo kicks.* MechaMooks: The Noise Tanks in ''JSRF''.* {{Megacorp}}: Rokkaku Corporation. The logo is emblazoned on gas stations, satellite dishes, and trucks marked "[[BlandNameProduct Rokkaku Depot]]" (using the same typeface as Home Depot).** Taken even further in ''Future'', where the Rokkaku symbol can be seen on street signs, hydro plants, and construction equipment.* MercyInvincibility* MiniDressOfPower: Gum and Rhyth.* MockGuffin: The [[spoiler:Devil's Contract]] is revealed to be a hoax at the end.* MrExposition: DJ Professor K.* MythologyGag: Yoyo[[spoiler:'s robot doppelganger]] in ''Future'' has his hoodied appearance from the first ''JSR'', but skinnier.** Also in ''Future'',[[spoiler: Potts]] shares an idle dance with the Noise Tanks, [[spoiler:who are very connected to unlocking him]] in ''JSR''.* TheNapoleon: Captain Onishima.* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: The soundtrack, composed by Hideki Naganuma, incorporates elements of many genres such as rock, funk, and techno to make a very unique sound.* NeverSayDie: Coin's body is plainly visible in a cutscene, lying dead at the foot of his mural. Nobody ever refers to him as such: rather than avenge Coin, Cube asks the gang to help her for "the ''sake'' of Coin." The ending states that he was another victim of Gouji's machinations, but doesn't explicitly say "assassinated."* NewGamePlus: After beating the game once, you could play it again with a selection of new levels.** Given the fact that you unlock a dozen characters ''after'' you finish the story, you have to wonder why this is absent in JSRF.* NintendoHard: Larger levels can be quite frustrating: you have to tag each of dozens of spots with graffiti, while collecting cans (you can only hold 20-25, they're limited, some spots use up ''nine'' of them, and often you'll go a while without seeing any) and running away from police, who will come at you in helicopters and on jetpacks even while you're tagging. Oh, and there's a time limit.* NoCommunitiesWereHarmed: Weirdly subverted. Tokyo is referred to by name, but it bears almost no resemblance to the real Tokyo. Also, Tokyo-to ''is'' actually the full name of Tokyo ("to" is a suffix meaning "city/metropolis").* NoIndoorVoice: Professor K. He mellows out in ''JSRF''.* NoKillLikeOverkill: The Tokyo-to Police and the Rokkaku Police believe in this heart and soul. Their initial response to taggers is to send a squad of police to forcibly arrest the delinquent. Beat that, and they'll send policemen armed with guns to shoot you dead. Beat that, and then they ''deploy military vehicles'' to stop graffiti. * NoOSHACompliance: Especially prevalent in ''Future''.* OccidentalOtaku: Combo can be assumed to be this. He has a yen necklace, has no trouble speaking to the GG's, and very likely got the idea for his gang from the various gangs around Tokyo. And it's not like they couldn't have changed his necklace in the western release(Cube got an entire redesign for the west).* OddlySmallOrganization: The rival gangs have three members each. (Or at least we assume, we only see three at once. It's likely that the other gangs are around the same size as the [=GG=]s.)* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler: When Rokkaku transforms into A.KU.MU during your BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind.]]* OneWomanWail: Gouji's boss music.* PatrickStewartSpeech: The narrator drops a fairly {{Anvilicious}} one in ''JSRF'''s ending.* PerkyGoth: ''JGR'''s token gaijin chick, Cube, wears a lot of Hot Topic.* PlayerHeadquarters: The [=GGs=]' garage. (Though it's more like an abandoned construction site in ''Future.'')* PoliceAreUseless: When assassins with guns and firebombing-throwing terrorists go after you, the police are nowhere to be seen. One intro states that they're too scared to even touch them.** The Tokyo-to police don't even show up once in ''Future'', as sometime before the game begins, Rokkaku Gouji bought out the police department to allow his Rokkaku Police operate without interference.* PosthumousCharacter: It's strongly implied that Coin was murdered for his vinyl record. This was left vague enough for gamers to [[UrbanLegendOfZelda scour the game trying to unlock him]], though.* ThePowerOfRock: A rare evil example.* PowerTrio: Beat, Gum, and Tab/Corn initially comprise the [=GG=]s gang.** As well as BlondeBrunetteRedhead. (Gum is blonde, Tab is brunet [[HairColorDissonance (though whether his hair is brown or black is anyone's guess)]], and Beat is a redhead.* PsychoElectro: Assassin #6 can only attack by electrifying rails. This makes him more a nuisance than a genuine threat.* PunkPunk: The "Graffiti/Skater Punk" variation.* PyroManiac: Both games feature a flamethrower assassin with a love for torching cities.* RealIsBrown: ''JSRF'' has a brownish tint compared to its predecessor. * RegionalBonus: The North American release of ''JGR'' contains an extra mission sandwiched between the two run-throughs of Tokyo-to.** Also, each regional release of the game had some songs that the other version didn't. Most of these region-exclusive songs were included in the HD re-release though.* RemixedLevel: The second half of ''JGR'' consists of beating the same three city districts again -- only ''this'' time, the maps aren't segmented into individual missions; You have to tag the entire district at once.* ResistanceIsFutile: Hayashi quotes this directly during a surprise raid.* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: The Noise Tanks, Zero Beat, and [[spoiler:the fake Yoyo]].* RobotBuddy: Roboy, a jive-talking robot who saves your game, gives you tutorials, and sets up street challenges.* RollerbladeGood: Magnetic ''and'' rocket-propelled rollerblades, no less.* RuleOfCool: The whole game runs on this.* RushmoreRefacement: The [[Art/StatueOfLiberty Lady Liberty]] statue in Grind Square is sporting a rhino's head, courtesy of Gouji's gang.* SailorEarth: Combo's gang on the other side of the Pacific.* {{Sampling}}: Very prevalent in both games' soundtracks.* SanitySlippage: Over the course of ''JSRF'', Hayashi's already-lacking sanity wears down more and more with each defeat he suffers.* SavingTheWorldWithArt: The whole game is about rollerskating around and tagging over the graffiti of other roller gangs. Halfway through the game, there's a shift and you start tagging the art of the [[EvilInc Rokkaku Group]], becoming TheLastDJ and resisting the evil group. In the end, you manage to defeat the final boss [[spoiler: who is a demon summoned by the CorruptCorporateExecutive]] using nothing but your graffiti. ** The sequel has you doing all of the above as well, but the graffiti can now be used to cure poison and purify the streets.* ScoringPoints: ''Deceptively'' important -- Earning a "Jet" ranking in each level is the key to unlocking characters. Tagging and performing stunts adds to your score, as does completing the level with lots of time left on the clock.** Though all it does in Jet Set Radio Future is unlock some of the Graffiti Souls.* SealedEvilInACan: A record called the Devil's Contract in the first game. [[BigBad Rokkaku]] wants it so he can TakeOverTheWorld.* SecretCharacter: More than one, the best one of course being [[spoiler: the dog, Potts.]]* SequelHook: Both games have one at the end. Unfortunately, there hasn't been a follow up to Jet Set Radio Future.* SerialEscalation: The Police in both games will keep resorting to more ridiculous and deadly means to stop the graffiti issue. When you deploy an prototype combat mecha piloted by a psychotic detective to squish one teenager, you know you've gone a tad insane.* ShabbyHeroesWellDressedVillains: In both games, the normal/modified clothes of the GG's and other gangs are contrasted with the {{Elite Mook}}s of Golden Rhinos, dressed with [[TheMenInBlack black suits and ties]], and the BigBad Gouji Rokkaku, which is a ManOfWealthAndTaste.* ShoutOut: Surprisingly, to [[Series/GakiNoTsukaiYaArahende Downtown]]'s Hamada and Matsumoto of all things. The original Jet Set Radio (and its remakes) feature an XL-size graffiti of Hamada giving Matsumoto the DopeSlap as per their trademark.** Very easy to miss: the Golden Rhinos' black cars are a hardtop version of [[VideoGame/CrazyTaxi Axel's cab]]. [[note]]For those interested, it seems to be a mashup of a 1963 Chevy Impala (trunk and taillights) and a 1959/60 Cadillac Eldorado (everything else), plus massively simplified tailfins and front bumper[[/note]]** Guitar Vader's "Super Brothers" is apparently about Franchise/{{Mario}} and Luigi. The very first line talks about how they're going to [[SaveThePrincess "rescue]] [[GratuitousEnglish the]] [[DamselInDistress Peach"]].* SinisterSilhouettes: Gouji's son, as pictured in the ending sequence.* SissyVillain: Hayashi. He sports a huge health bar, but is no more powerful than the regular Rokkaku mooks you face. * SkateHeavenIsAPlaceOnEarth: Rails, rails and yet more rails.* SoulBrotha: Professor K epitomizes this trope.** One of the songs in the game is actually CALLED "Sweet Soul Brother", and is aptly about one.* SpiderTank: Rokkaku supplies Hayashi with one of these, complete with police lights.* [[SpiritualSuccessor Spiritual Ancestor]]: The manga/anime ''Manga/AirGear'' and the Korean MMORPG ''Street Gears'' were both inspired by ''Jet Set Radio''* SpontaneousChoreography: Each gang seemingly has a dance number [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GetSwmueOaw&playnext=1&list=PL5D21278681BAD822 prepared in advance]].* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: The obvious example is Onishima/Hayashi.* SuperDrowningSkills: Causes a deduction in health, after which the player climbs out of the water. Perhaps justified because they are wearing rollerblades.* SuperWindowJump: In Bantam Street, there's a three-story building with windows you can leap out of on two of the stories (you can also leap into them by way of wallriding).* SummonBackupDancers: During the final battle with Rokkaku, gyrating cage dancers are suspended from revolving cranes.* SwissArmyWeapon: Player characters can use ''spray paint'' to stun police officers, give their rollerblades a crazy boost, disable machinery, cover spotlights, disable bomb timers, operate switches.....** In ''JSRF'', it just looks like spray paint. In actuality, it's ''the soul of the streets''. Uh-huh.* SympatheticInspectorAntagonist: Captain Onishima in ''JSR'', Hayashi in ''JSRF''.* TankGoodness: Hayashi and Onishima are both a little crazy for tanks.--> Hayashi: Send in ALL the tanks!!* ThereWasADoor: Played for laughs in the first stage of Kogane. One method of crossing the river is plowing through a half-dozen plaster wall apartments. It's not until later that Garam shows you a cleaner route.* ThrivingGhostTown: Averted. The game's most important character is Tokyo-to itself, and is designed to overwhelm the player with the sprawl of the urban landscape, populated by endless terrified [=NPCs=].* TitleDrop: Inevitable, as the pirate station the game is based around is called "Jet Set Radio". But in the sequel, Professor K goes out of his way to say "Jet Set Radio '''Future!'''" near the endgame.* TitleScream: "'''JET SET RADIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!'''" In the original North American version, the title was screamed by the ''VideoGame/CrazyTaxi'' announcer!* TokyoIsTheCenterOfTheUniverse* TranslationConvention: Despite hailing from the states, Combo and Cube have no trouble communicating with the Japanese Rudies. Possibly justified in that ''JSR'''s setting exists somewhere between reality and punk fantasy.* VictoryPose: Everyone has a special dance they do upon completing an objective.* VillainWithGoodPublicity: No one makes the connection between the Golden Rhinos, a notorious gang of Asian killers, and Gouji Rokkaku, whose corporate mascot is...a gold rhino. Gouji's sheer wealth probably makes this a JustifiedTrope, though.* VoiceOfTheResistance : Professor K through the titular radio station.* VolumetricMouth : [[http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/jetsetradio/images/b/b5/Dj.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20101220021814 Professor K]] has a pretty big mouth.* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Rapid 99 are in ''Future's'' plot for a grand total of five minutes, and are never brought up or seen again. In conversations with your fellow rudies, they're built up pretty well, so it makes you wonder why their appearance is short.* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: The final boss of ''JGR'' converts the roof of his office tower into a giant turntable. To defeat him, you must grind rails to reach the adjoining towers and spray graffiti over his occult symbols.** Your solution to everything in this game is either a.) Rollerblading or B.) spray painting.* WhenThingsSpinScienceHappens: In ''JSRF'', Gouji's DJ booth is adorned with a 'halo' of spinning radio antennae.* WhipItGood: The first Assassin you encounter, #5, has a whip which ''cannot be dodged'' by dashing.* WhiteGangBangers : Some of the gangs qualify. Poison Jam are a good example, and they also worked for an Asian boss for a while. The main characters are a mix of ethnicities, including White, Black, Japanese and possibly other kinds of Asian (Beat is Korean, at least according to a popular {{Fanon}} theory). * WickedHeartSymbol : The Love Shockers' graffiti and symbol are heart symbol-based. * WomanScorned: Professor K jokes that the Love Shockers are entirely comprised of these.-->"Love broke their hearts, and now they're looking to do some ''breaking'' of their own!"* YouALLLookFamiliar : Not only there are a limited number of pedestrian designs, but each pedestrian of a particular design exclaims the exact same thing when bumped into. Every. Single. Time. One level features dozens of women in identical orange jumpsuits in rows (presumably doing morning exercises or something) that all exclaim "Ah! He touched my butt!" in comically high voices. * YouAreNumberSix: The Rokkaku "Assassins" are each numbered from #1-6. They appear in the remixed version of previous levels after you cause enough trouble, essentially replacing the military.----

Create Your Own Meditation Space
Meditation is a way for you to create balance and clarity. While I feel you can take short breaks during the day for a meditation session, you can also, take a long period of time for a more in-depth meditation. If you are looking to start meditating or perhaps just need to refresh, you can watch this video here. Today, let's talk about creating a meditation space in your home.
This is a space for you to meditate, reflect and contemplation. Your space doesn't have to be large or intrusive. Select a space in your home that is quiet and provides for a retreat. Create a comfortable spot to sit or recline. Use a few of special pillows or a mat.
Defining and creating your physical space is done. Defining and creating a positive energy with scent is next. Our sense of smell is connected to our energy. Place a few candles around your area and use a scented spray to cleanse and ready your space for you to meditate.
Add some blues and violets in your space; these colors are calm and soothing. Even with your eyes closed the colors will still vibrate in your space and help you. Nature and plants are extremely meditative. Looking out the window or adding a few plants to your space will increase happiness.
You can place an altar at the front of your space, to help you focus and bring your own personal sense to your space. Choose some that are meaningful to you. A Buddha, chiming bowl or bells. Perhaps even soft music to play while you meditate. Do not bring electronics into your space, they will not provide the calming, restorative place you need.
You have created the perfect space for you. You can still your mind, balance and bring clarity with the healing powers of meditation. This is your space, create how you will to restore harmony and balance. Please share pictures of your meditation space to my Facebook or Instagram! Follow me for blessings each day and style tips.
Feng Shui tip: Organize each room in your home so the first thing seen sets a pleasant tone.
