From Toronto to Halifax, six intrepid artists – as agents of the social arts arena Methinks – will promote a portable art show entitled We Made a Deal with the Devil, workshop personal artistic projects, explore creative exchange opportunities, and shoot a documentary video of their experience on the road.
The collective arrives in Ottawa on August 6th, and their work will be displayed at the Avant-Garde Bar.
Ottawa-based artist Tamara Sponder will be presenting a collaborative large-scale print-based installation that depicts children as frightening animals on the playground. The Ottawa Arts Blog recently conducted an interview with Tamara to find out more about her work on this project.
OAB: Tell us a little bit about this Methinks tour and how you got involved.
TS: My professor at Queen's e-mailed us a link to the We Made a Deal with the Devil call for submissions, and I totally loved the idea of a traveling art show. I submitted the drawings right away because I knew they were a sure thing and then I submitted Genna Kusch's and my work for the portable installation. Thematically, it was perfect, 'embark on a wild hunt for inspiration through the deep woods of urban and rural folklore, collective memory, mythmaking, adventure and risk' (taken from the Methinks website). Given that we're transforming social networks into something more mythological and woodland-ish, how could we resist?
OAB: What makes your contribution unique?
TS: I'm not so sure that it is so unique. I gave up on trying to make different and new art a few years ago. It was too stressful coming across other artists who were working in a similar style or with similar concepts. I was totally revolutionized by the discovery of collaborative art groups such as Team Macho and The Royal Art Lodge. I feel like it is way less stressful to succeed and/or fail as a group. It also made it easier for Genna and me to accept that we were totally in love with each other's work. Now we work together openly. I guess maybe that's how the contribution is unique.
OAB: I have no recollection of turning into a wild animal on the playground. Was your childhood vastly different than mine?
TS: My dad was in the military while I was growing up, so I moved around quite a bit, an experience that I think strongly influences my work. I was always the new kid, always observing other social networks on the playground, but never quite being involved. Also, I was an only child, another experience that I feel was vital in the development of my work.
I came from a family of many aunts and uncles who all had at least three children. I had many cousins that I was close to, and although I was never personally involved in the sibling rivalry, I saw a lot of it. I always felt growing up that I understood a lot about social networks and 'playground politics', something that I've somehow lost in my adulthood.
As an adult, many things that govern our decisions have so much less to do with the intimate social relationships and so much more about the greater social context. It's not worth crying and screaming over some minor injustice because there are so many other things to worry about that are serious and necessary. Maintaining a happy work place environment, for example, has a lot of people biting their tongues, and acquiescing to minor irritants simply to keep the peace and 'not make a mountain out of a mole hill'. Being easy going and 'uncomplex' is valued in adulthood. Being emotional and reactive is not.
Children are like adults without the greater social conformities. They cry when they want something. They fight when someone makes them mad. They hump things because it feels good (even in public). They can be cute and they can be devastating. They are driven by basic desires and react the only way they instinctually know how, that is, emotionally and bodily. They haven't learned all the social restrictions that would have them act civilized. That is where the animal transformation happens.
Only adult humans are so restricted with their behaviours, everything else is simplified to instinct and emotion and body.
That's not to say that I think we should all start acting like children. I'm simply aiming to evoke some curiosity on the subject. I don't really have a solution, because I'm not really convinced that there is any problem. I'm just interested in their emotional freedom, and wish to share my twisted nostalgia with others.
OAB: How do you think that living in Ottawa has inspired or affected your art, or your artistic process?
TS: I've been working at the National Gallery of Canada as an Interpreter running children's educational programs where I've a had a ton of exposure to contemporary Canadian art, where my co-workings are mostly artists, studying artists or art enthusiasts , and where I get exposure to working with children on a regular basis. Living in Ottawa has kept me informed and enthusiastic about my own practice and others.
OAB: Any future projects of yours that Ottawa Art Enthusiasts should be checking out?
TS: Unfortunately not at the moment. I'm moving to London in September to do a Master's Degree at The University of Western Ontario.
Methinks presents We Made a Deal with the Devil: A Collective Action Expedition in Ottawa on August 6 at the Avant-Garde Bar, 135 Besserer Street at 7pm. For more information, check out http://methinkspresents.org

As Liam Clancy remembers it, being asked to perform on The Ed Sullivan Show did not seem like a big deal.
"We just did not understand the significance," he told Irish America in a recent interview, during a publicity tour to promote a brilliant re-release of The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem performing live at New York City's Carnegie Hall in 1963.
Two years before that historic performance, as Clancy recalls, they were a group of slightly shady characters best known in that bohemian redoubt, Greenwich Village.
"Irish-Americans weren't really interested in us," said Liam, the youngest of the Clancy brothers. "Pete Seeger played with us. A lot of people said: 'They've got a Communist up there.' So most of our audience were folkies and liberal Jews."
That all changed in March of 1961. The Clancys and Makem had already moved uptown to the Blue Angel on East 55th Street, a more respectable establishment frequented by TV talent scouts.
Sure enough, the Irish musicians impressed one of Ed Sullivan's scouts. The quartet later showed up at the Sullivan show studio for a Sunday rehearsal, only to be told that the evening's scheduled headliner, Pearl Bailey, had bowed out.
Could the Irish men perhaps substitute?
That night, 80 million Americans from Boston to L.A. heard the revolutionary sounds of The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem – the performance lasted a record-breaking 16 minutes.
"It was like getting a blessing from the Pope," recalled Liam with a laugh.
Two years later came the historic concert at Carnegie Hall, where they cracked jokes about the new Irish Catholic president and earned loud applause simply by mentioning the IRA.
Clearly, something momentous had changed in Irish America.
With their Aran sweaters, tin whistles and banjos, The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem might seem to be the quintessential Irish trad artists. But they were, in many ways, a radical departure, who then went on to change Irish-American culture. How did they arrive at their unique musical sound? Why did some Irish-Americans consider them threatening? And how did they fit into an extraordinary moment in musical history, crossing paths with the likes of Bob Dylan?
The Clancy brothers – Paddy, Tom, Bobby and Liam – were born into a musical family of nine children in Carrick-on-Suir, Tipperary. Paddy and Tom served in Britain's Royal Air Force during World War II before emigrating to Toronto, Canada.
After crossing the border and living in Cleveland, Ohio for a spell, the duo moved to New York City, where they planned to work as actors. They had some success on the stage and screen, but also felt the need to raise a little money. So they turned to an art form that came so naturally to them: music.
Particularly memorable were some of their "midnight special" performances in the early 1950s at the Cherry Lane Theatre, where they were joined by their brother Bobby, who had also served in the RAF and traveled widely in Europe before ending up in New York.
As luck (or fate) would have it, New York in the mid-1950s was turning into a breeding ground for a new kind of folk movement.
It was in the mid-1950s that Liam, the youngest brother, joined Tom and Paddy in New York when Bobby returned home to Ireland to take over his father's insurance business. Liam too wanted to act, but he had also spent time performing, as well as studying and collecting the traditional music of Ireland. During his travels, Liam had become familiar with a particularly talented musician from Armagh — Tommy Makem.

I thought I had missed the bug which has been making its way through our family the last couple of weeks. Just about everyone has had it.
I've been unable to keep food down or stay out of the bathroom for more than a half hour at a time for 24 hours now.
At the moment I feel better than yesterday but there is no way I could have driven to work and done a four hour show.
I had so wanted to be with you this morning the biggest hurt is not being there.
I will see you next Saturday on Boston't Talkstation, AM680 WRKO.

Marilyn Monroe's defining quotes on what would have been 90th birthday
Monroe continues to be a cultural icon decades after her death
Monroe continues to be a cultural icon decades after her death
In pictures: some of Vanity Fair's most famous front covers
Chris Beetles Fine Photographs, London
Peddlers of hype would have people believe that singer/songwriter Lianne La Havas is very good at what she does. They would be wrong - she is exceptional.
Before green screens, CGI and 3D blockbusters, Hollywood made its impact with people – and faces that came to define a generation.
A painting of the Queen by Andy Warhol – part of the artist's Reigning Queens series – is estimated to sell for £20,000 to £30,000 when it is auctioned at Bonhams in London tomorrow.
Geoffrey Macnab salutes the life and work of Tony Curtis, the star of 'Some Like it Hot' who died on Wednesday at the age of 85
Hollywood legend Tony Curtis, whose career spanned more than 60 years, has died at the age of 85.
Previously unseen images of Marilyn Monroe have been published in a new book, Marilyn: August 1953: The Lost LOOK Photos, which comes out this week.
Fraternal amity is not a condition necessarily associated with the Roman Empire in its latter days, though the Gracchus brothers do seem to have held each other in high regard. Both tribunes of the Republic and both possessed of "eloquence sufficient to make the less creditable plausible", as Plutarch has it, their campaign on behalf of Rome's down-trodden alienated the senatorial elite and led to their end. Tiberius was slain with a foot stool by a Senator with a gripe. His brother Gaius committed suicide on the point of his personal slave's sword.
America faces a problem, a dilemma so fundamental that not even the political skills of Barack Obama can disguise it, heightened by, but not originating in the BP affair: She either risks her environment by drilling for more domestically sourced oil, or she accepts the need to import more from a turbulent world – jeopardising her "energy security".
A joyous dose of double-dealing
A bra and stockings belonging to screen icon Marilyn Monroe are expected to fetch thousands when they go under the hammer this weekend.

Congregants at one local house of worship are celebrating their church's centennial this month.
The Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd, at 2139 New York Avenue, marked the 100th anniversary of its first service on September 8th, with members of the congregation looking ahead to a special anniversary service and dinner on September 21st.
The service will be held in the church at 3 p.m.., with the dinner to take place at Buckley's, Nostrand Avenue and Avenue S, beginning at 5:30 p.m.
While the congregation has hit the century mark, the sanctuary is somewhat newer. Indeed, noted Charles Freiburger, the church's financial secretary, the first service was held in a store on Fenimore Street, a good distance from where the congregation eventually took root.
Construction on the church began in 1926, and was completed in 1929, said Freiburger.
"We decided to locate into an area that was comparatively new," Freiburger explained. "This was a relatively new area, with new homes and new families moving in."
That resulted in a thriving congregation. In addition, a church history credits the baby boom of the 1950s with an increase in church membership.
Growth was incremental, according to a church history. In the structure's early days, folding chairs stood in for pews. But, by the 1940s, there were additions, including an organ and decorative paneling, and, by 1950, a timbered porch.
Today, the congregation is facing changing times and a changing neighborhood, both of which have resulted in a diminution of membership, particularly among young people. But, efforts are being made to bring in new worshippers, said congregants as well as the church's current spiritual leader, the Reverend Hugo Berger.
"The past 20 or 30 years have been transitional," remarked Betti Altieri, the congregation's vice president. "A lot of older people have passed away or moved away. We have gotten a lot of new members, become diversified, and there are a lot of members from outside the neighborhood. I moved away, but I still go there.
"We're always looking for new members," Altieri went on, "but I think most congregations are. We don't have many young people, so we are working on trying to get younger families in and building up for the youth.
"We are a close-knit congregation," she stressed.
"We are studying ideas, trying to decide some plans about the future," noted Berger. "It's still not very clear. We have a sense that we have to be open to the community and give some service, like a nursing home or an assisted living or a day care center, so we can get more connected with the community."
For the meantime, Berger added, outreach is limited to "family and friends. But," he emphasized, "we are planning to do outreach through service to the community. We have a very nice community. People care for each other. We hope to keep that alive in the new generation, which has different values and needs we want to address."
Ties with old parishioners are strong, Berger added. For the 100th anniversary celebration, he said, former parishioners are expected from as far away as Texas and Florida. "Even though they have moved somewhere else, they still feel very connected with us, they still feel they are part of the church," he commented.
Attendance at the 100th anniversary dinner costs $50 per person. Contact the church at 718-338-5532 for further information.

Real Madrid, Barcelona, Athletic Bilbao, Osasuna, Valencia, Elche and Hercules are all to be investigated after they were accused to have received state aid – which is in breach of rules.
At the end of last year, the Spanish government submitted documentation relating to the allegations to the European Commission but their arguments have not convinced the Union's legislative body who have set April 7 as the deadline for implicated parties to submit their account books.
Three separate investigations are underway - one involving Real Madrid, Barcelona, Osasuna and Athletic Club - all of whom have yet to be converted into public limited companies.
The second concerns Hércules, Valencia and Elche who are accused of being the recipients of public-funded loans.
And the third involves the alleged transfer and reclassification of land between Madrid's regional government and Real Madrid. The Commission states that in all three cases, the clubs may have to return any undue state aid they have received.
Real Madrid, Barcelona, Osasuna and Athletic Club are accused of possible tax privileges as a result of not being obliged to convert themselves into public limited companies in 1992. The former three clubs pay corporation tax at 25 per cent, the latter, at 21 per cent while the rest of Spanish clubs, who are PLCs, pay at the standard 30 per cent tax rate.

Promoting access to water and improving sanitation in deprived countries has been one of the major objectives of the City of Paris since 2005.
Water and improved sanitation, a priority Access to drinking water and the improvement of sanitation are among the main UN Millennium Development Goals (MDG). The aim is to reduce by half the number of people who do not have access to these two vital elements by 2015. The City of Paris is committed to helping the UN to achieve this goal.
Changes in French law have given municipalities, which manage public water services, increased scope for action. An Act dated 9 February 2005 enables them to carry out international solidarity initiatives in the fields of drinking water and improved sanitation up to a ceiling of 1% of resources allocated to these services. Paris devoted 1 million in 2006 to international development. Through a request for proposals launched to NGOs and migrant associations, the City of Paris supports international solidarity initiatives which strive to increase access to drinking water and to improve sanitation:
- Decentralised cooperation projects with partner cities which enable both the development of these services for all and the improvement of local water management.
- Emergency initiatives are undertaken to provide aid to people who are victims of natural disasters, in particular in cooperation with Eau de Paris.
- A communication policy to raise Parisians' awareness of the issues of water access and sanitation in the world. Target areas have been selected among the most underdeveloped countries, particularly in Sub-Saharan French-speaking Africa, Asia and Latin America.
Three subsidies have been granted recently: -A project in Senegal, for the City of Kaolack, to support a public health and hygiene policy in districts and schools (the EAST association leads the project)- Two projects in Niger, in the district of Kornaka, a rural zone which was recently hit by a food crisis: a double programme for water solutions in villages and pastoral wells (the Eau Vive association leads the projects)Each initiative is carried out with sustainable development in mind. Implementation always involves partnerships with local authorities, which is a way of ensuring the projects' long-term scope.

What does it mean to support our planet? It means working together to respect and preserve this beautiful place we all call home. Limit the use of chemicals, hazardous materials, products that pollute and wasteful electricity.
So now that you are all aware, let me ask you this: What are YOU doing on March 26th at 8:30pm? If you answered turning off all the electricity in your house and supporting Earth Hour, then pat yourself on the back!
(Source – From A to Almost Z)
If you're familiar with Earth Hour or even an eager newcomer, there are limitless ways to participate. Basically you just need to know one thing: It's all about being energy efficient!
Check out the very moving Earth Hour Video. If this doesn't get you motivated to do your part, we don't know what will!
There are so many easy ways to cut back on the amount of energy we use;
Wash clothes in cold water with eco friendly laundry liquids. Turn off the lights when you leave a room! Unplug chargers when you are not using them. Eat locally when you can to reduce your carbon foot print. Walk instead of drive. With beautiful spring approaching, it's great to get into the habit after being locked up indoors during the past couple of months. Not only does this cut back on pollution but it'll also get you nice and fit for the warmer weather coming up.
Those are all great tips, but you're probably wondering what to do with the lights out & no electricity? Here are some ideas:
- Make a party out of it! Invite friends/family over, play board games by candlelight (beeswax or soy please & no lead wicks ;) If the weather is nice outside, get to know your neighbours and set up a block party.
- Find your local Earth Hour website for events happening close to you. http://www.earthhour.org/
- Keep it clean! Try cleaning areas of the home that are open and don't get much attention – try cleaning the floors – but be safe! You'll be pleasantly surprised when the lights come back on!
Earth Hour is a great time to remind ourselves to wash away old dirty habits, and enter spring with a clean house and an environmentally friendly conscience. It's only an hour and not only will you feel great afterwards but your house will thank you. Go the extra mile by using all-natural healthy alternatives.
(Source: Nature Clean®)
Looking for more clever ideas? Check out Earth Hour's Website for more information: http://wwf.ca/earthhour/
It's important to remember that each and every one of us makes a difference in this! Be a part of it. We can't wait to hear how you spend your Earth Hour.

Roger in semis after |five-set thriller
A challenging, thrilling, brilliant shot making, cliff hanger of a match that saw our Roger come through 7-6,4-6,7-6,3-6,6-3. "The whole match was tough. Any set could have gone either way," he said. "You never know what Jo's going to come up with. It was a pleasure to come through.I felt like I played some great tennis but Jo played great tennis too." There were times when Roger was imperious and times when Tsonga's shot making made our champ look pedestrian. Tsonga had unleashed a series of brilliant shots to level the match at 2 sets all. He made 17 winners to Roger's 7 in the 4th set to take it in style and set up a thrilling finish. In the end Roger's experience, but even more his court craft, brought our champ through to a hard earned victory. The match was a stunner with no quarter given on either side – it took Roger 4 match points to close out Tsonga and win the final set 6-3 with a superb overhead smash at the 5th attempt. Our champ had been composure personified in this set and took the decisive break at 2-1 to set up an advantage he did not relinquish. This is Roger's 10th straight semi-final in the Australian Open in his bid for an 24th Grand Slam final.
Roger has now set up the possibility of an electrifying semi-final match against the Scot Andy Murray – at the moment Murray leads 10-9 in career head to head matches.
cheeta roger sada , zindabad , shazada, pappu , ummmmmah :*
Wishing you all the very best against Murray. You know how to beat him. Be aggressive and show him who is the master. Hoping to seeing you in the final and winning your 18th Grand Slam inshallah.

I love you
Best of luck against Andy tomorrow!
Show us your speedy, beautiful tennis once again.
May tennis gods and angels lead you to the victory!
I believed Roger could do it, but it was hard to keep calm. The way he came out on the fifth set I knew then he would win! He had worked into his very best game. So much for not being able to cope with 5 sets anymore! I am hoping the experience has done Roger good and he will be into his top game right from the go against Andy. Come on Roger, you can do it. Wishing you more luck than you had against Jo-Willy"

|Perfect Crime
|Clean Manfred's shop of evidence + Let Lauren, Hassan and Kramer die + Kill Madison and Jayden
For this trophy, the ultimate goal is to let the Origami Killer to walk free, with nothing tying him to the crimes. To do this, you'll need to play through the game again with autosave on, starting with the Hassan's Shop chapter. You will then need to ensure that the following events occur:

I think its worth emphasising here that Ethan needs to make it to the Old Warehouse chapter, and rescue Shaun, which means you need to complete enough of the trials for him to either get the address, or work it out. First time I tried to get this trophy, I only completed two of the trials, and all I got was a scene of Ethan in his car swearing cos he couldn't figure out where to go! All the requirements of the trophy were still met (although Jayden got killed after reviving Shaun, not on the conveyor belt), but the trophy still didn't pop.
It doesn't make much sense, as if Ethan makes it to the warehouse the OK gets identified in the ending, where as if he doesn't then the OK is still unknown, but its worth noting to save yourself a good few hours of another part-playthrough.
I don't

@slade900 i think that if you miss any of the fingerprints u are shown a cutscene where u are taken to the police station for some questioning. if you didnt miss anything u dont get that cutscent.

Unfortunately guide isn't full and there is a big chance that you will fail getting that trophy. To complete it's requirements Jayden HAVE to reach warehouse. Unfortunately for me when i was playing trough I wanted to do it quickly so I skipped all ARI parts (I was not looking for all clues). I didn't found Scott's DNA in Paco office witch leaded to failing "Solving the Puzzle" chapter (I wasn't able to combine "killer is a cop" clue with anything).
When I figured this out I killed Jayden using ARI (leave game for ~5 minutes when he is using it and he will eventually stroke to death), but unfortunately trophy didn't pop up. So I'm guessing you HAVE to kill the guy on conveyor belt to get it.
There's my advice, please add those two points to this trophy guide so people won't have t

(continue of previous post)
so people won't have that problem again:
- Fish Tank: Find Scott's DNA using ARI system.
- Solving the Puzzle: Identify the killer by combining "killer is a cop" clue (you can get it from analysing night club video) with Scott Sheppard DNA.

It didnt worked for me. as I mentioned before. I've done everything exactly as guide said and killed Jayden in "Solving the Puzzle" chapter... Also, if you do it that way you will mess up all endings trophy (as guide requires to bring jayden to warehouse in first 3 of them)

You actually don't have to find the OK's DNA on the glass. Just use your other clues in the ARI and cross reference them all in the geoanalysis page, and that will narrow it down until Jayden solves it. Hope this helps someone ^^

After saving shaun, ethan walks to the door of the warehouse, does he have to put down the kid to open the door (and get shot) or just come out with Shaun on his arms?

Just to confirm what #6 / Dead666Soul said, it's fine for Jayden to die using ARI in Solving The Puzzle.
Fingerprints were cleaned from the shop.
Lauren died in the car.
Madison died jumping out of the window.
Ethan rescued Shaun, then got killed by the Police at the end

Friday, April 13, 2012 @ 10:47:01 AM
I got so pissed last night. Had been following the guide trying to get Perfect Crime. Got all the way to Manfred's shop and was trying to clean the prints off of the "window in the office" as the guide says. Went to every freakin piece of glass I could find anywhere near the office and no prompts to clean anything appeared. Didn't know the scene was timed (as guide does NOT specify) and time ran out before I could get finished. FAIL. Now, since autosave was enabled (also as the guide advises), I have to start all freakin over at Hassan's shop. So much time wasted because THE GUIDE ISN'T CLEAR!
I'm going to turn auto save off and save only at the beginning of the key scenes so I can reload the game and try again if something goes wrong. Grrr.........
Love the site but g*ddamn,

Tuesday, May 01, 2012 @ 01:41:21 PM
What i did was:
1. Had Hassan, Lauren & Kramer die.
2. Cleared Manfred's place of evidence.
3. Got Ethan arrested in On the Loose, and made him escape in the next chapter with the help of Norman. He had already finished 3 out of 4 trials successfully by then.
4. Had Madison die in Killer's Place.
5. Had Norman die on the conveyor belt.
6. Ethan saves Shaun, after guessing the right address.
The Perfect Crime trophy popped with the first epilogue, but then in the news report they mentioned Scott has been identified as the Origami Killer and a manhunt is underway for him. I do not understand how is that a perfect crime. Weird.

Unlocked the trophy just right now. Just to be totally clear with everyone, as I can see everybody still has questions, this is what you have to do (WARNING: SPOILERS/CLUES):
-Kill Hassan, Lauren and Kramer
-Clean every print at Manfred's (**Be sure to clean the front door and the glass case in front of the counter where Scott answers the phone**)
-Kill Madison at the doctor's home
-Kill Jayden at Mad Jack's garage
-Allow Ethan to be arrested at the motel rooftop ('On the Loose' chapter)
You should be rewarded at the end of the game. Happy gaming!

|Comment #33 by KevsterH
Wednesday, January 23, 2013 @ 11:44:13 PM
Can confirm Comment #31 is true. With Ethan, get arrested the first time after 'trying' to escape with Madison. You then need to kill off Madison and Jayden as stated and have Ethan be arrested the second time in which he will be placed under arrest. Just complete this list and you will get the trophy.

|Comment #35 by olorin
Sunday, February 03, 2013 @ 10:07:05 AM
@#12 Glowbugg: What DNA on what glass? I just played through the chapter again making no mistakes at all on both Easy and Hard, but there is no DNA to be found. But you need to rip the gas station receipts from his cloak after he throws you into the fish tank, to narrow down the area where the killer lives. There lives only one cop in the area.
And with the DNA he wouldn't need the cop clue, would he?
This supposed DNA has never been mentioned before, not on any guide I know.
|Comment #36 by Iceman87GT
Tuesday, February 12, 2013 @ 05:43:02 PM
Shouldn't this be the last one on the guide? It requires you to fundamentally alter how you played the entire game.
I mean you go from having 4 people survive and only needing to intentionally fail the last part to get "So Close", to having no one alive. Wouldn't it be better to do all the endings where you don't intentionally screw things up before tackling one that requires you to screw up at nearly every turn?
The guide pretty much says to play through the game 3 times (with a few modifications) when you could realistically do it 2 times (with a few modifications).
|Comment #37 by olorin
Monday, February 18, 2013 @ 03:47:33 PM
No! It's precisely so you don't have to replay the whole game, that you should follow this guide to get Perfect Crime on the first playthrough. Then you'll only have to replay the very last chapters a couple of times to get all other trophies/endings. See the All Endings Trophy for the exact details.
Of course you may like to play the whole game 2-3 times.
That's certainly tempting.
|Comment #38 by olorin
Monday, February 18, 2013 @ 04:13:08 PM
Of course in this guide we also need Jayden to rip off the gas station receipts form the killer's cloak in the Fish Tank, to find the warehouse in Solving the Puzzle. And Ethan should succeed at at least 3 trials and guess the right address of the warehouse after the The Rat.
This is missing from the description for this playthrough, to get Pefect Crime. In fact you should also try to get Nerd, Trial Master and Clever Dad all with the first playthrough, to avoid another.

For "Clean Manfred's shop", first check the office window, glass case with red typewriter cause these are variables. Also the bathroom door if you used it. Then do all the other ones. Make sure you do this before the cops arrive. If done correctly you will see the old man lying on the floor as soon as you leave. If you don't it means you failed, if so QUICKLY exit the game and reload before the next autosave kicks in.

Thanks @41, I thought when Manfred's corpse appeared, it was because I was supposed to clean the books Lauren was touching, and kept trying all the time.

Hey I didn't trust this list because of the comments, I instead used the "Perfect Crime Walkthrough" on Heavy Rain Wiki. It worked and I got my trophy. To clear things up:
Ethan DOES NOT need to get arrested.
Just got my trophy so I remember NOT getting arrested once.

@39 & @43: comment #16 is right. when jayden geoanalyzes the receipts and "the killer is a cop" he finds only one person fitting both. then he says, "he owns a warehouse!" that's how he knows where to find shaun.
|Comment #49 by montcer9012
Saturday, August 03, 2013 @ 01:48:31 AM
Got the trophy and want to CLEAR SOME IMPORTANT ADVICE:
1. YOU MUST play trough Hassan's shop with auto save on at least 1 time. If you won't, make it to the final without shutting down the PS3 or exiting the game.
2. If you make a mistake with the autosave on, YOU HAVE NOT TO START AGAIN FROM HASSAN'S SHOP! Just load the chapter where you make the mistake and go on to the final. This time autosave feature does not need to be on. I know it because i leave Jayden alive, then load a few chapters back, let him die with the ARI and the trophy pop up!
Either way, on the final news the journalist said that the OK identity is know and the police is chasing him (?). And yes, i have the Director's Cut version up to date.

i think people are making this far to complicated. why dont you just read the trophy description?? "Clean Manfred's shop of evidence + Let Lauren, Hassan and Kramer die + Kill Madison and Jayden" i dont think it matters where or how anyone dies.
anyway: i just got the trophy. followed this link: http://www.gamespot.com/heavy-rain/forum/easiest-way-to-get-perfect-crime-trophy-53747857/

The point some guys are missing above: it may not matter for this specific trophy where ethan dies, so long as he does, but if you're following the road map, you need ethan to make it all the way to the end, because you're going for the trial master trophy at the same time.
Also, again if you're following the road map, you want to finish in a specific way to collect certain endings, as per the all endings trophy.

Learn regarding the available grants and scholarships that can stimulate beside your college costs. Many students don't know that can endorse make college a lot easier. The federal government and your state also offer many grants is that they do not have to be repaid by you.
Speak along your admissions director to make sure the education you require.

You can meet other people that like to work out at school.You can broaden your social circle and find a workout buddy.
You can save money on textbooks by buying them only when your school books until after class has activated. You might discover that some books aren't even required.

You can often gather all of the tips you need by utilizing nothing greater than online resources and paying attention in your lectures.
There are many distractions when you are in college, but you can find the time you need! Promise yourself that you will study hour each and every day.Even if you do not think you need to on that particular day, work the time to review or get ahead. It will ensure that you establish a habit.

Prove drinking all the water you can while in and out of school. This will endorse you awake and help your body rid itself of toxins. You will also stay in a happy and upbeat demeanor.
This is true for new books as well as books that were used ones.

If you will be getting money back from loans or grants, select the "direct deposit" option rather than having these funds put into a prepaid card. These cards generally have expensive withdrawal fees and they limit how much you can withdraw each day. You will maintain all of unnecessary penalties by going beside direct deposit.
Learning starts even before you set foot in the classroom. The greater you get touching what to expect in college, the higher confident and capable you will be. There are quite a few things that college life entails, so getting the right tips is beneficial. The suggests shared here can really endorse if you give them a chance.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
by Mark Haddon
Truth Quotes in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
How we cite our quotes:
Quote #7
And then I didn't know what to say because I had Father's cashpoint card in my pocket and it was illegal to steal things, but he was a policeman so I had to tell the truth, so I said, "I have a cashpoint card," and I took it out of my pocket and I showed it to him. And this was a white lie. (191.47)
What does he mean that he has to tell the truth because he's a policeman? We thought he always told the truth! Since when is he prepared to lie otherwise? And, wait, why does he have to tell the truth to policemen – because he got a caution for hitting a policeman and is worried about getting in trouble? Or is there something else about the policeman that prevents him from lying? It certainly can't be that, because he ends up lying to him anyway. Sure, he passes it off as "a white lie," but, hey, that still has "lie" in the title, doesn't it?

Inter-Society Multicultural Fellows Committee
Inter-Society Multicultural Fellows Committee
The Inter-Society Multicultural Fellows Committee is a group of faculty and student representatives from all academic societies charged with facilitating diversity training and awareness in our medical community. The Committee itself represents diverse ethnic, cultural and religious backgrounds. It is the committee's belief that we all see ourselves as members of a broad spectrum of different identities, such as ethnicity, race, class, sexual orientation, gender, age, ability, religion, and nationality, and that in each of these identities we may experience ourselves in certain contexts as being part of a minority or a majority group. Membership in some of these groups may result in the experience of discrimination and the denial of society's benefits. The Committee invites all individuals to join in a discussion of their identity as members of different groups.
The Committee believes that the best possible medical community is one in which the maximum heterogeneity is found. We believe that the best research and medical care occurs in a context where differences are highly valued; that "hybrid vigor" is relevant and fundamental to the structure and optimum functioning of human groups. We do not advocate a homogenization of our differences, however. Our natural tendency to cluster into our group identities is also essential to the nurturing of each of our unique cultures. Multiculturalism is the search for an appreciation of the richness gained by the co-existence of our differences, as well as an acknowledgment of our similarities. We feel that these values are fundamental to the development of competent physicians.
To create and nurture a diverse community of the best people committed to leadership in alleviating human suffering caused by disease

The global wireless telecommunications market has experienced an unprecedented expansion in recent years and there has been a phenomenal growth of EV-DO and HSPA data services in developed markets.
Emerging markets are expected to take on a similar growth trajectory in the near future as operators work to meet the growing demand for mobile broadband services.This paper highlights the strategies that leading operators in developed markets as well as some early adopters in emerging markets have successfully employed to migrate from voice centric 2G and early 3G (CDMA2000 1X and WCDMA) market to data centric (EV-DO, HSPA) market.****Okay to distribute externally.****

The state Education Department reported Friday the dropout rate for 2010-11 was 2.8 percent, down 0.1 percentage points from the previous year and 1.1 percentage points from 2007-08.
Statewide, 5,900 teens left high school in 2010-11, compared with 8,032 teens in 2007-08.
The year-to-year dropout rate is different than the graduation rate. It reflects how many teens officially withdrew during the school year or became too old to return. Students can legally drop out at age 17. They cannot stay in school past age 21.
The graduation rate measures students earning a regular diploma in four years. The graduation rate for 2011 was 73.6 percent.

Game 7s Make Everything Better
The erstwhile upstarts of Major League Baseball's postseason are long gone, leaving fans with a much more spare and abstract experience revolving around watching good but very familiar teams play good baseball, familiarly. The same seven or so television commercials seem to repeat endlessly on each broadcast, which is even less fun than it sounds. Tim McCarver's anecdotes seem half as attached to reality and are taking twice as long to tell. But there is very little in terms of baseball fan complaints—even reasonable ones—that can't be set right by the words "Game 7." When the San Francisco Giants bombed the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday night, they not only fended off elimination for a second straight game, they set up a final and decisive game in the National League Championship Series. A Game 7 is a Game 7 is a Game 7, and that's great regardless of the teams involved.
As usual, getting there was half the fun. The Giants came home to San Francisco down 3-2, and only made it back out West at all because of a dazzling, redemptive, series-saving performance by Barry Zito on Friday. Ryan Vogelsong was just as good Sunday night, smothering St. Louis in a 6-1 win. "Two years ago, Ryan Vogelsong was a Triple-A washout and Barry Zito was a major-league bust," the Journal's Brian Costa writes. "Today, of all people, they are the primary reasons the San Francisco Giants are still alive in the National League Championship Series."
It's probably best to save some credit for Game 7 for the amazing disappearing offense of the St. Louis Cardinals, as well. But throughout the series these two teams have shared this high-intensity see-saw to great dramatic effect, with each team's weaknesses complementing the other's. That's how Game 7s happen, of course. But they're especially hard to predict when the two teams squaring off are so well-matched. "The Cardinals are used to winning these kind of brawls," the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Bernie Miklasz writes. "They are used to being behind on the judges' scorecards, only to flurry in the last round and win by knockout. But there's a problem: the Giants are the same way."
This is almost an understatement, as the Giants have gotten this far by refusing to be finished off, and the Cardinals have reached this moment thanks to the coolness with which they finish teams off. "Now the Giants have won five consecutive elimination games, but in Monday's Game 7—in which [Matt] Cain will pitch against Kyle Lohse—they will face an opponent that has won six straight such games," Sports Illustrated's Ben Reiter writes. "All of the luck, and confidence, and perseverance and talent in the world will not prevent one of those streaks from coming to an end."
But those streaks won't come to an end without our having to say something about it – join us tonight at 8 p.m. ET. for a live blog of the game.

The University of Oregon did Thursday what it has done in each of its seven college football games this season: win. And yet the undefeated Ducks fell from third to fourth in the BCS rankings after their romp over Arizona State. The practical reasons for this are as familiar, picayune and exhausting as anything brought to you by the letters B,C, and S. But the biggest reason for Oregon's slide, or at least the one that's most fun to talk about, is the wild rise of Kansas State, which moved up to third from fourth in the rankings after routing a tough West Virginia team, 55-14.
It was the Wildcats' third road win against a ranked opponent, which is a feat in itself. It's doubly impressive, given that Kansas State was no one's pick to be nearly this good. "Based on the recruiting rankings, the Wildcats are certifiable overachievers," Sports Illustrated's Stewart Mandel writes. "But that doesn't mean they're not elite."
The Bill Snyder coaching at K-State, by the way, is the same one who turned the program around during the 1990s. Snyder retired, un-retired, and has once again worked something like magic in Manhattan, Kan.. In a year in which Duke has awakened from a generation of zombiedom, Snyder's program-resurrection stands as one of the most remarkable in recent memory.
"Snyder tunes into the timeless motivation of men wanting to be better men, players wanting to be better players and teams wanting to win championships," Yahoo's Dan Wetzel writes. "Everyone here knows there is no margin for error, that they aren't sure-bet NFL stars, so it becomes a group thing. The plan is the plan, the commandments are the commandments. Commit to it, and eventually scoreboards spin, opposing fans try to beat the traffic and even the BCS can't ignore this little team in purple.

Reasonable parties—or baseball fans, whichever—can disagree about how important a manager is to a team's record. But everyone should be able to agree that managers are not as important as players, if only because players (as the name suggests) actually play. But while it's seldom a good look for a team to trade a player for a manager, it is inarguably a thing that sometimes happens. Over the weekend, it happened again, when the Boston Red Sox agreed to send infielder Mike Aviles to the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for manager John Farrell and minor-league pitcher David Carpenter.
This is a unique situation for several reasons, starting with the fact that Farrell was Boston's pitching coach during the team's 2007-10 heyday, and was reportedly one of the preferred candidates for the managerial job that belonged—briefly, loudly, hilariously—to Bobby Valentine last season. As with any player-for-manager deal, it will put pressure on the G.M. who swapped the participant for the non-participant. But, however it works out, the move does at least do much to undo last year's slapstick tragicomedy at Fenway.
"Farrell's hiring says as much about what went wrong last offseason as it does with what the team hopes will go right in the seasons to come," Sports Illustrated's Ted Keith writes. "Farrell was the man who was supposed to be the perfect fit, both for the respect he commanded as a former coach and the skill he'd had at working with the Red Sox' pitchers. Instead, Boston went with the mismatched Valentine. Now, to borrow the infamous phrase of one of the team's most popular players, they have someone who knows how they do things there." Just how much this restoration does for the team is unknowable. The answer, as usual, will be up to the players to provide.

Fees: You Hate Them. But Do You Pay Them?
Travelers love to bemoan the raft of new fees assessed by airlines, but someone must be paying 'em.
In its second-quarter earnings report out this morning United parent UAL said it expects checked-bag fees to generate an annual $275 million in revenues, if trends hold.
In a post-earnings conference call with analysts Wednesday, the CEO of American parent AMR said "recently announced additional fees including the first bag fee that should generate several hundred million dollars of added revenue." And on the same day, Delta said the component of its earnings known as "other net revenue" jumped by more than $177 million, or 45%, driven in part by higher passenger fees.
Flyers, which fees have you paid so far? Cast your vote. (Sorry, you can only choose one – if you're paying more than one fee, leave a comment below.)
Haven't paid any fees, don't intend to

Lady Chatterley's Lover
by D.H. Lawrence
Character Clues
Character Analysis
Lawrence spends a lot more time describing what people are thinking and feeling than what they're doing, but a few key props give us insight into the characters.
Hilda's Car
Hilda is a modern woman. We know she's a modern woman, because she's really attached to her car (a "nimble two-seater" [16.116]), just like a guy having a midlife crisis. Hilda actually is having a midlife crisis at this point; her husband is divorcing her because she has too many opinions of her own.
Everything about Hilda is uptight. No matter how unconventional her upbringing, she's still absolutely a member of the upper class. She "shut[s] the door of the car and [sits] tight" when she sees Mellors (16.200), and then starts the car "with a businesslike motion" (16.382). You'd never see her running naked in the rain or doing anything less than efficiently and firmly. Even Clifford grudgingly admires her: "she would make a man a first-rate helpmate, if he were going in for politics […]. [S]he had none of Connie's silliness" (16.160). In other words, Hilda is a Jackie; Connie is a Marilyn. You'd never see Connie driving her own car.
Clifford's Chair
The way Hilda is attached to her car, Clifford is attached to his chair—only more so. Lawrence seems to forget that Clifford doesn't have a choice in the matter, because he basically makes fun of Clifford for being paralyzed. P.C., our narrator is not.
When we first meet Clifford, we learn that "he had a bath-chair with a small motor attachment […] of which he was really so proud" (1.6), and later that pride turns into "a certain conceit of himself in his lameness," even though the narrator says that it was "cruel for Clifford, while the world bloomed, to have to be helped from chair to bath-chair" (13.2).
Setting aside the fact that the narrator is almost as big of a jerk as Clifford is, this chair is no good. Wheels and motors are the worst thing about the modern world, and we're supposed to pity Clifford for having to get around this way—and maybe even hate him a little. The chair, and the paralysis, is the outward sign that Clifford's mind and soul have been corrupted.
For more on Clifford's chair, see "Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory."
Mellors's Tools
Mellors always seems to have something in his hand, from a basket of bread to a hammer. When Connie first finds the hut, she notices all the tools scattered about: "a carpenter's bench, then a big box, tools, new boards, nails; and many things hung from pegs: axe, hatchet, traps, things in sacks, his coat" (8.35). In the next paragraph, she watches him use a hammer to build a chicken coop, and then later on he uses a hammer to break the frame holding the photograph of his wife (14.74).
So, he's useful to have around the house. But these tools also tell us that he's a decent, honest man in a world of men who are not decent or honest. There's no one prop that he's associated with, like a chair; he can use a variety of things and take care of himself in all sorts of ways. This almost makes him different from the miners. We don't see any of them, but we get the idea that they're not nearly as handy as he is.
Connie's …
We got nothin'. Connie isn't described with anything except once with some plants. And this actually tells us a lot about her. She doesn't need man-made tools to give her personality; she just is.
Direct Characterization
Props give us clues into the characters' personalities, but really the characters often don't have much in the way of personalities at all. For Lawrence, the characters aren't real people so much as they're little textual representations of his philosophy.
About Clifford, for example, we learn that "he had been so much hurt that something inside him had perished, some of his feelings had gone" (1.8). Of Hilda and Connie, we learn that "They were at once cosmopolitan and provincial, with the cosmopolitan provincialism of art that goes with pure social ideals" (1.10). Of Michaelis, we learn that he had "a slightly tail-between-the-legs look even now" (3.11). These are all moments when the narrator tells us exactly what to think. And they're effective. But even more often, the narrator uses the characters to tell us how to feel, in something that we can call…
Indirect Characterization
Take Michaelis. Sure, we get a few impartial hints into his makeup. But we get a lot more through the viewpoint of Connie and Clifford, and even "society." Society, for example, decided that "Michaelis was the last word in what was caddish and bounderish" (3.6). It's not the narrator who calls him caddish and bounderish—it's "smart society."
And later, when he shows up at Wragby, we learn more: "At sight of him something in Clifford's country soul recoiled. He wasn't exactly … not exactly, in fact, he wasn't at all, well, what his appearance intended to imply" (10.15). If Clifford could get a complete sentence out, we'd learn that he thought Michaelis was just a little—or a lot—déclassé. Again, it's not the narrator who says that.
Or take Clifford: we get our best look at him through Connie's eyes, when, for example, she sees him "coming out in his true colours: a little vulgar, a little common and uninspired" (10.375). Is Clifford really vulgar and uninspired, or is this just how Connie sees him? Lady Chatterley's Lover seems to suggest that the question is irrelevant. The way people see you is the way you are.

Remember my croquis from yesterday? My swayback was quite noticeable in my side view:
Swaybacks run in my family and are quite common in the sewing community, too. Ali, of The Wardrobe, Reimagined, is a fellow swaybacker and has talked about her personalized croquis here.
Sarai outlines very clearly in the handbook how to make a swayback adjustment using the simple pivot method. On the Coletterie, you can see a more in-depth approach with regard to trousers, but like all of their tutorials, is easily be adapted to suit dresses and skirts.
Now, I tend to sew dresses that have separate bodice and skirt pieces, making the sway back adjustment quite straightforward. However, one of my planned sewing projects this year is a classic Jackie Kennedy-inspired sheath dress from Famous Frocks. How am I going to go about it for all-in-one pattern pieces?
Source: buzzybeesworld.blogspot.com via Sarah on Pinterest
Enter clever Sherry, writer of Pattern, Scissors, Cloth, in sunny Auckland, New Zealand. She has written a terrific post that covers a variety of swayback adjustments, including ones for all-in-one pattern pieces. Now I need not fear making sheath dresses any longer!! I have the SBA, Swayback, and Full Derriere techniques in my arsenal, so bring it on!

The most alluring coaching candidates, like Jon Gruden and Jim Harbaugh, can and should wait. For the 49ers to have any chance at properly repairing themselves, fixing their broken football business, they have to wait.
Team President Jed York is explicit in saying Gruden and Harbaugh and anyone else who might be interested in being the head coach in San Francisco must wait.
That was the most encouraging aspect of York's news conference Monday afternoon -- about 15 hours after he ditched head coach Mike Singletary -- for it suggests the Baby Boss may be learning his way into his NFL executive gig.
At the very least, it implies that young Jed, 29, can recognize his own mistake and willingly acknowledge it.
The son of owners Denise DeBartolo York and John York, Jed was promoted to team president exactly two years ago today. Within hours he made his first major decision, promoting Singletary to head coach after Singletary led the 49ers to a 5-4 record as interim coach over the final nine games of the 2008 season.
Based largely on the instant energy Singletary brought to the team, the promotion was popular -- but it was hasty insofar as no one else was considered or interviewed.
More to the point, having a nonfootball executive hire the coach steps on conventional NFL protocol in which the general manager makes that decision.
Now that he's facing another crucial decision, York will try the more typical approach. While fans chatter and speculate about Gruden and Harbaugh and Jeff Fisher and others, York will search for a GM -- and give that person the authority to select the next coach.
If this sounds like an attempt to restore sanity, it is.
If you're skeptical, you should be.
For the natural reaction to this revelation is to wonder where the Baby Boss learned to recognize what makes an effective GM. York's response is that he can't, so he'll rely on the counsel of others familiar with the way of success in the NFL.
York says he'll speak with his uncle, Eddie DeBartolo Jr., who owned the 49ers from 1977 to 2000, a time during which San Francisco was a signature franchise, winning five Super Bowls. DeBartolo, 64, will serve as a consultant.
York also says he has spoken with the Kraft family, which owns the New England Patriots, the most consistently successful franchise in the NFL over the past decade.
Neither John York nor team Vice President Paraag Marathe, a business executive who has been involved in the football process, will be involved in the GM hiring, according to Jed York.
"I've talked to a lot of people that have been in and around the game this season, trying to get their feedback on how to build teams," he said. "What's been successful? What hasn't been successful? When you look at some of the teams that have been successful, it's not about hiring the flashiest name as your GM or head coach or both. It's about making sure the GM and the head coach are working together."
Such words and sentiments come straight from the book of building a respected sports franchise -- a book the 49ers haven't opened in years.
But if there is a go-to franchise that knows how to build and sustain, it's New England. The 49ers under Bill Walsh once sprinkled coaches about the league; the Patriots under Robert Kraft are sprinkling GMs.
With quarterback Tom Brady leading a starless supporting cast, New England has the best record in the AFC. But there's more.
Atlanta in January 2008 raided the Patriots for executive Thomas Dimitroff, who then hired Mike Smith as coach. They have rebuilt well enough that the Falcons own the best record in the NFC.
Kansas City was a big red mess until it two years ago hired former Patriots GM Scott Pioli, who brought in Todd Haley as coach. The Chiefs over the weekend clinched their first AFC West title since 2003.
It's a copycat league, and Jed York is saying he wants to copy the biggest cats around.
"We want to make sure the general manager is a guy that is grinding behind the scenes," York said. "A guy that's putting together the draft, that's putting together the structure of the organization -- but isn't necessarily out there in front every day."
No, that featured role still belongs to the coach. Gruden thrives in the role and Harbaugh appears to be ready.
But they have to wait, for York says there is no timetable for hiring a GM. If he's as smart as his words, if he's smarter than he was in October when he tweeted that the 49ers would win the NFC West, he won't hire until he has requested and received permission to speak with Nick Caserio.
That's New England's current director of player personnel. The Patriots should be busy for a while, though, so even York would have to wait.

At the album launch in Brixton, London, you shredded the hell out of a guitar, and backwards nonetheless. Where did that come from? Were you taught as a kid?
I've been playing a guitar since I was 10-years-old.
You were playing it behind your head...
Yeah, well. I gotta show off. I've been playing instruments longer than I've been rapping. When I was first rapping I didn't wanna put that in to it. I wanted this image like I was a rapper, a true MC. Then once you get comfortable with who you are as a person then it's like, OK I'm just gonna show everything I can do and incorporate it. So now I'm incorporating that aspect into the show, which is dope because I'll go on record to say that there's no one that raps that can play the guitar better than me. B.o.B knows what's good.
What about Andre 3000?
I've never seen him play, but I think I can play better than everybody.
Do you incorporate it into the production you create under the moniker Larry Fisherman?
Yeah, I play guitar on a lot of shit. "Cruise Control" was the first track me and Wiz Khalifa ever did, I made the beat on that and I played guitar on it. And on the album, "REMember."
I'll go on record to say that there's no one that raps that can play the guitar better than me. B.o.B knows what's good.
You were recently named on Forbes List of hip-hop's 20 Top Earners...
Yeah I know. I couldn't believe I made it on this year. The one year I didn't care about money and I'm on there.
During the intro skit on K.I.D.S. you edited a movie sound byte and mentioned that music was everything to you. Is it still as important or has getting all this money taken precedent?
That's not even a question to me. I'd give you all of my money in exchange for music if I had to. I wouldn't know what to do with myself. It's literally all I do. Every single person in my life and every relationship I have is distant because all I do is music. It's like I'm a drug addict but with music. I feel like they can't put me in rehab. People just have to deal with it. It's all I do. But you can't really knock it because it's not like I'm out there injecting myself...not yet.
Talk to me about the tattoos. Every video sees you add yet more and more tatts. What's the deal?
It's funny because in real life I've just been getting tattoos, but life through music videos it's like, "Whoa! In this video and this video all of a sudden he's covered." I like tattoos. I'm gonna be covered. I'm not going to touch my face or under the chin on the neck, it's my least favorite place.
The pain there must be unbearable...
I've got this cream because after I stopped sipping lean, tattoos started hurting a bit more because the opioids start fucking up your shit. So when you do painkillers and go back to having tattoos done, they hurt way more. So sometimes I get this German illegal cream that numbs the shit out of it.
For how long because we have one in the UK that only lasts for 30 minutes?
This is the real shit. I did my whole leg and fell asleep. But my fingers, and my most recent tatts, I didn't use it for them. But if I do a big piece, I use the cream.
I've got this cream because after I stopped sipping lean, tattoos started hurting a bit more because the opioids start f**king up your s**t. So when you do painkillers and go back to having tattoos done, they hurt way more.
I know most people ask you about the Lord Finesse lawsuit. I don't want to know about the settlement or the specifics. I'd like to know how it felt for you, as a hip-hop fan, to have one of the original artists from rap's golden era come at you when all you were doing was paying homage?
You know what I was saying about the fan and meeting people thing? Yeah. You know what? It's not even that serious. It was a little bit like, well it hurt a little because I was like, "I've spent years trying to educate the youth about what you've contributed to hip-hop. You especially. You brought in the person that made me start rapping." I even wore a Big L R.I.P. t-shirt in the video. I've done nothing but...I don't know.
I think legally I'm not allowed to say anything bad about him but I don't even have anything bad to say about him. We're cool. We shook hands after. I don't fuck with his lawyer. His lawyer is a piece of shit. You know how it is. Honestly, I might do the same thing if in 30 years some fucking white kid comes and more views on my shit than I do. It's cool. I've since talked to him and we both feel the same way and we're glad that we've moved on. I'm still OK. I'm not broke, he's not broke, and I'm surviving.
You had a mixtape called Best Day Ever. Since blowing up, having two albums, and a TV series, has your own personal best day ever changed?
I think those days [mentioned on the record] still are the best days ever. I don't think it's gotten much better than that. It's different. At that point it was like anything was incredible, which was why the music was what the music was, because I was like, "Oh shit!" It's like losing your virginity. The whole time you're like, "This is fucking crazy." Then after having sex a lot more you're kinda just in there. It's just different.
The best day ever will always be that moment where you go on UStream and 15,000 kids come for the first time and you're like, "Holy shit I'm somebody to someone." Now it's more about me pushing myself to make good music. It's not like a big check, let's celebrate. It's like, "I have to put this away for taxes, save this for my house, give that to my mom."

"Now it completes any job that only takes 1 tape. But if the job
requires more than 1 tape, it asks for tape2 but then when rewinding the
tape the server abends with a page fault exception error. Any idea's?
I have similar problem here. Backs up to tape2 of 3 but then server abends
with a page fault exception error. It has been suggested by Veritas that
it is because the is less than 30 free space on the data volume (salvage
doesn't count as free space). I have split the backup to comprise of more
than one job and append the 2nd job to the end of the first on the same tape
set. I can get the backup on three tapes then with no abend.
I hope someone has this one worked out.
