I find it pretty daunting, Mirren said in a phone interview earlier this week. Americans in common are very free actors, you discern, that kind of the way they approach the whole business of acting.

An Oral History Of DOWN - DIARY OF A MAD BAND

As it turns out, the levees bust long before Katrina. In the ’80s and ’90s, New Orleans birthed musical lineage that would trouble the secretive and rule the world. Detuned and devastating, they rise from the swamp and from the amplifier of men who knelt at the altar of The Almighty Riff. Who toiled in their Immix studies and cultured those training as if their lives depended upon them. They colonized and propagated the pedigrees that brought you the dope-pale sludge of Eyehategod, the residue-block destiny of Crowbar, the brash Southern cross of deterioration of compliance and the platinum power-groove of Pantera that would be Jimmy Bower, Kirk Wind stein, Pepper Keenan, Rex Brown and Philip Anselmo, more or less.

For a state of mind be set on all sides by too much indifferent water, too many pills, hardly enough tidy and never enough Black Sabbath. Yeah, it might seem like the only way you could draw a straight line between the developed wasteland of Birmingham, England birthplace of Sabbath to the rotten cultural potage of the Big Easy would be with a pencil and a ruler, but that isn’t inevitably the case. At least not since DOWN have been around, which by all accounts dates back to 1991, when then-Pantera frontman Phil Anselmo and deterioration of orthodoxy front man Pepper Keenan would trade tapes and listen to the doom-ridden prophecy of specialized Sabbath heads like Saint Vitas and Trouble as well as Pentagram. Therein lays the origins of DOWN, the eternal brotherhood into which Bower, Wind stein and Brown were later initiated.

Workers killed in north west Pakistan explosion

Three Western aid workers are among at least 10 people killed in an attack on a convoy heading to a girls' school in north-west Pakistan, officials said.

At least 70 people, including 63 school girls, were injured as the convoy was hit as it passed another girls' school in Lower Dir, near the Afghan border.

The attack comes amid a major government offensive against Taliban militants in the area.

The Taliban has frequently targeted markets, schools and security agencies. The BBC's Mark Dummett in Islamabad says the convoy was heading to the inauguration ceremony of a newly-built girls' school, but that the blast occurred near a different school in Koto, a heavily populated village along the route.

At least three of the dead were school girls, police said, adding that security guards and three local journalists were also among the wounded.

The convoy was on its way to Maidan, an area of Lower Dir district in North West Frontier Province, which is the base of a pro-Taliban cleric Maulana Sufi Mohammad, and a stronghold of Taliban militants.

Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has condemned the attack and ordered an investigation, the AFP news agency reports.

Citing a local police official, AFP said the school had been blown up by militants in January 2009. It was due to be formally re-opened after being rebuilt with the help of foreign aid.

Last year, Pakistani troops carried out a major offensive to crush the Taliban in Lower Dir and the neighbouring districts of Swat and Buner.
