If you don't refresh your Cydia updates as much as you should....You've missed some nice updates. Let's take a look at what you've missed...
This is a FREE tweak by developer Rudolph lichtner and does exactly as the title says. After installing, you will have a switch on your notification center dropdown enabling you to turn off any sounds for notifications you may recieve during the night whilst you are asleep. Flipping the switch again returns the notifications to normal for everyday use.
Another Free tweak for your phone. This time, it makes it easier to access your phone if you have passcode protection. When you install the tweak, go to settings and find autoprotect. From here you can insert the name and address of a WiFi network, and once connected to it, you'll never need to type in the passcode again.
For example: Say you put in your Home WiFi address, so the family can access the device. Well, when the device connects to the network it will not ask for a password to get into the device. Whereas if you are not connected to your home network, it WILL ask for a passcode. So really it stops any unwanted people from accessing it.
A fun little tweak that doesn't do much except put icons on your screen with rain in them. Change the size of the icons and the length of time they stay for in the stock settings app. You can also make the rain go up??
Another fun but not so useful tweak that, again, does as the name suggests. There are many different colours to choose from and you can increase or decrease the opacity (transparency) of the volume popup.
If you are looking to customize your notification centre in any way then here is one of the 'must have' tweaks I would recommend! I won't go into too much detail, but here's a little insight of what it has (possibly more with future updates):
Change the banner color. Change it from one solid color to another OR have a gradient color (Blue fades to yellow or whatever you choose). Change the text color in the banner also.
Animation entrance and exit: Change how the notification enters the screen and exits with some pre-set preferences EG. Fading in / Enter from left to right / Bounce....and more!
Sounds. You can customize the sound of a notification with some of the stock ringtone sounds (possibly a custom one you have made....but i don't have any of them to test).
This one costs $1.99 but is worth it, with the continued support for it throughout the IOS upgrades.
Chip is MY top tweak this time round. Any I missed that people should know about?
Yeah, I like that one. I'm always forgetting to turn my pass code on when I go out. And my friends are bastards for 'fraping' and whatnot.

Your blog has been included in our guide Around The World.
The guide is both a record of old blogs and a listing of new blogs. Although originally arising from the "City Daily Photo Blog" lists this is an independent publication. Inclusion here does not imply that a blog qualifies for nor is officially a CDPB. Our criteria are that photographs mainly from and related to a specific geographical location (not necessarily a "city" but usually more specific than a whole country or region) are posted at dated intervals (not necessarily daily) and archives are readily searchable by date.

Pedro Collins
Surrey signed Collins for the 2008 season as a Kolpak player as they looked to strengthen their seam bowling resources.
He has been in and out of the West Indies team since making his debut in 1999, with 106 Test wickets and 39 in one-day internationals by the end of 2006.
Collins, who dismissed Sachin Tendulkar three times in the 2001/02 season, is the half-brother of fellow West Indies paceman Fidel Edwards.
He struggled to make a major impact in his first two seasons at the Brit Oval, but signed for Middlesex for 2010.

Must be clean & no evidence of other females
OK, you are at the point where she is coming over for dinner, video, coffee after a restaurant meal, etc. Your place must be clean. She is not going to roll on the floor in passion if the carpet is sticky, the room smells stuffy, the couch is dirty, etc.
Your place must be clean. The bathroom must be clean. No mould on tiles, no toothpaste dribbling onto the vanity unit, no hair from previous lovers in the shower. YES, she WILL look. Yes, she will snoop. No need to get angry. It's just the way of woman and you will not change it! No man has been able to change it. Accept it and move on. Women are genetically driven to be sure that they are the "only one". Hence they check. Therefore, the sheets have been washed and the pillows aired. Women have a very keen sense of smell. Change the clothes you will wear when you are with her. Do not wear the same clothes that you wore with another woman (unless you have had them dry cleaned). Women can smell the perfume of another woman at 100 miles!
You have already selected a few CD's to play and have them ready. The lights are dimmed slightly. The wine is chilled. Pictures of your family are OK. Pictures of you with any previous girlfriends are not OK.
You have condoms handy to your bed, your couch, your dinner table, wherever you are likely to mate.
If she is at all likely to stay overnight, you have a fresh set of towels for her and a clean unused toothbrush. Also, a variety of breakfast food. You might like a beer and a slice of cold pizza for breakfast, but she might not.
If you would like her to be your girlfriend, then staying the night is ok. If you want her to be your lover, then diplomatically let her know that she cannot stay. Either "tomorrow I need all day to prepare for an important meeting" or "I sleep really badly when not alone & I need to be at work very early".
Marking her territory
If you have more than one lover, check your house after she leaves. She is likely to mark her territory by leaving her long blonde hair in the shower, a shampoo/makeup bottle in your medicine cabinet, a pair of panties behind the bed head, all without telling you. If lover number 2 comes over, she WILL KNOW another woman has been at your place.
Answering machine dangers
Your home answering machine. Erase all messages from other women. Turn the volume down. When she is mating with you, she does not want to hear other women calling & saying "last night was great". Also on the home phone, erase your last called number. While you are in the shower, she may hit "redial" to see who answers. Before she comes over, call the weather service, any number at all, then the last number redial is safe. Your mobile - turn it off. It should have a PIN required to turn it back on. Else, she will go through your received calls. The more interested she is in you, the more she is likely to protect herself by doing these things.
Does this make you angry? It did for me at first. I do not go through other people's phone list, dialed calls, etc. But, women are different. They are programmed to snoop (it is not a sign of disrespect) so as to ensure there is no other competition for the man. It's genetic. They all do it. If you have a sister or a very good female friend, ask them. Almost all will admit to snooping, whether it's the cell phone, the answering machine, or for hair in the shower.

University of Essex,UK Data Archive (UKDA)
The UK Data Archive is an internationally acknowledged centre of expertise in the areas of acquiring, curating and providing access to data. Since 2005 the Archive has been designated a Place of Deposit by the National Archives allowing us to curate public records. It acquires high quality data from the academic, public, and commercial sectors, providing continuous access to these data while also supporting existing and emerging and communities of data users.
The Archive follows a policy of active preservation to ensure the authenticity, reliability and logical integrity of all resources entrusted to its care while providing usable versions for research, teaching or learning, in perpetuity. Its Preservation Policy is the codification of long-standing good archival practice at the Archive. From a preservation point of view this policy is generally conformant to the OAIS Reference Model, with additions and alterations which are specific to the materials held within the Archive. UKDA has a series of strict requirements for its digital preservation activities which are laid down in this policy, together with how these requirements can best be achieved in relation to regulatory requirements, archival best practice, information security and available funds. The Archive's Preservation Policy is based upon open and available file formats, data migration and media refreshment.
UKDA ensures that it is at the leading edge of technical advances by taking a strategic approach to long-term digital preservation, and by monitoring hardware and software developments and migrating our collections accordingly. It also aims to continually improve all aspects of the preservation related workflow by embedding an awareness of quality in all processes.
The Archive has been involved in the creation of the Data Seal of Approval (DSA) because it believes that the complex international standards which currently exist in this area are not the best place for repositories to start to assess their practices. The DSA is a 'low-level' series of guidelines which does not replace more formal standards, both existing and forthcoming, but provides a way for smaller and more specialist organisations to reach a recognised benchmark in digital repository management.

Big Bang's Seungri's sex scandal with a Japanese woman is still an ongoing thing, but now he has another scandal with a Japanese lady, this time model Anna Kubo.
On September 18, Taiwanese media "Apple Daily" published photos and a video of Seungri getting kissed by Japanese model and actress Anna Kubo, also known as Jackie Chan's son Jaycee Chan's ex-girlfriend. Seungri and Anna are currently in Hong Kong for their Japanese drama "The Files of Young Kindaichi: Hong Kong Kowloon Treasure Murder Case."
According to the report by "Apple Daily," the two went out with several friends after filming in the early hours of September 18. They were seen enjoying a late-night meal and having fun at a karaoke bar. The video also captured Anna having a wardrobe malfunction, exposing a part of her chest as she was readjusting her outfit. The group left the karaoke bar around 3AM, and Seungri and Anna were spotted holding hands and hugging. As they waited for a cab, Anna leaned on Seungri, planting a kiss on his cheeks.
They certainly look friendly enough, though obviously this could just be a normal night out on the town. With that said, you rarely see this type of interaction between celebrities of the opposite sex in Asia without some type of rumor going about.
Assuming that he is indeed all up in dem guts, the dude is a genius.
Fuck all these K-pop idols that his fans ship him with that look like they're 12 years old.
Straight to the good stuff, son.

I'm planning on taking a short dive trip around Memorial Day and I'm hesitating between Cozumel (would me my 3rd trip - nothing wrong with that I love Cozumel) or Baja, which I'm dying to discover. I've checked flight schedules from Denver and it seems like a hassle compared to getting to COZ, like two stops minimum (LAX and Loreto or something), although price-wise there is not much difference. For accommodations I'm looking for all-inclusive (we have a baby).
Also, would anyone on this board know what the conditions are in the Southern Cortez end of May, especially visibility? And how does the diving work over in Baja? I doubt there's hotel pickup like in Cozumel - in which case it probably would help to book a hotel as close to the dive operation boat's docking pier as possible wouldn't it?
Thanks in advance!

Chorus.--Ca' the yowes to the knowes,
Ca' them where the heather grows,
Ca' them where the burnie rowes,
My bonie dearie
As I gaed down the water-side,
There I met my shepherd lad:
He row'd me sweetly in his plaid,
And he ca'd me his dearie.
Ca' the yowes, &c.
Will ye gang down the water-side,
And see the waves sae sweetly glide
Beneath the hazels spreading wide,
The moon it shines fu' clearly.
Ca' the yowes, &c.
Ye sall get gowns and ribbons meet,
Cauf-leather shoon upon your feet,
And in my arms ye'se lie and sleep,
An' ye sall be my dearie.
Ca' the yowes, &c.
If ye'll but stand to what ye've said,
I'se gang wi' thee, my shepherd lad,
And ye may row me in your plaid,
And I sall be your dearie.
Ca' the yowes, &c.
While waters wimple to the sea,
While day blinks in the lift sae hie,
Till clay-cauld death sall blin' my e'e,
Ye sall be my dearie.
Ca' the yowes, &c.

LEAVE it to the Danes, those past masters of form and color, to turn sandwiches into still lifes.
At Ida Davidsen's snug little basement restaurant, a couple of blocks from Amalienborg, the royal palace, they build small works of art out of fish, meat, cheese, eggs and vegetables, flavored with dill or lemony mayonnaise or mustard made with beer and brandy. Some are based on humble ingredients like sardines, potatoes or salami. Others use caviar, lobster or prime beef.
It is hard to imagine anything less like a New Yorker's jaw-stretching corned beef on rye or a ballpark frank than a meticulously made smorrebrod, or open-faced sandwich, with its components chosen not only for the way their tastes complement one another but also for the picture they present.
Between 300 and 400 sandwiches a day emerge from the kitchen. Not one of them is ugly or sloppy. Not one is gloppy or greasy. This is Denmark, the homeland of Georg Jensen and Arne Jacobsen, where careful craftsmanship is the norm and not the exception.

Mexico: 13 Police Held In Kidnap Gang Swoop
The officers were arrested in Acapulco in the state of Guerrero, one of crime-hit Mexico's most dangerous regions.
Three of the officers arrested in the raids
Mexican authorities have arrested 13 federal police officers who were allegedly part of a kidnap and murder gang that operated in the resort of Acapulco.
The officers were detained along with five civilians - four men and a woman - who also allegedly killed some of the kidnap victims.
The gang is thought to have been involved in seven murders and four kidnappings.
The suspects were arrested on the outskirts of Acapulco after an anonymous tip, the Mexican government's national security spokesman, Eduardo Sanchez said.
"Investigations confirmed these individuals committed crimes mainly in the port of Acapulco," said Mr Sanchez, speaking in Mexico City.
"They are suspected of committing crimes against health, organised crime, homicide, kidnapping, carrying weapons used exclusively by the Armed Forces, among others.
"(Previous arrests) led to the discovery of ... graves in the hill of El Veladero in the municipality of Acapulco where three bodies were found."
The Pacific coastal tourist resort of Acapulco, which lies in the western state of Guerrero, has been hit by a wave of violence in recent years.
It is now one of Mexico's most violent cities with a murder rate of 77 homicides per 100,000 people.
The federal police have suffered various high-profile embarrassments in recent years.
In June last year a shoot-out between federal police and corrupt officers at Mexico City's airport resulted in three deaths.
A few months later 14 federal police were charged with attempted murder after opening fire on a car carrying two CIA agents outside Mexico City.
President Enrique Pena Nieto, who took office in December, has vowed to end the blood-letting by targeting crimes such as kidnapping and extortion.
Guerrero is one of the most dangerous states in Mexico with 86 reported kidnappings in the first eight months of this year - more than in the whole of 2011 and 2012, according to official figures.

"With employers, online schooling wasn't a problem," says Nicole Stephens, a graduate from Bryant and Stratton College who earned her bachelor's in business administration online. She got a job in the medical billing office of Kaleida Health in Buffalo the same month she graduated. "A lot of people are starting to go to school online now because it is more convenient. I don't think it's looked at any differently."
The technological skills students learn online are important for the job market. "Online education is very similar with how people do their jobs in today's global society," says Riehs of DeVry University. He says that he has seen a broad acceptance of online education among employers and that the university has the same job placement rates for their online and on-campus graduates.
When you reach a job interview, Tremble says, "be very prepared to talk specifically about what you learned during the courses, any projects you worked on. Show based on what you're talking about that you really earned a degree. Also, be sure to mention any certifications you earned while pursuing your degree."
In the job interview, be open to talking about getting your degree online, says Bill Driscoll, a district president for Robert Half International, a professional staffing and consulting firm. "You're selling yourself, so it is important to be upfront about your online education. There's a lot of ways to pitch it as a real positive. It shows the employer your dedication to developing skills and self-discipline."

Creating a .NET Windows Service: Three Different Approaches
The article details three different approaches to creating a .NET service. Most common is the timer-based service, which simply relies on a timer to invoke the background thread periodically. I also cover two other alternatives: using a single worker thread and using multiple worker threads. While the timer strategy is the simplest, the approaches using a single worker thread and multiple worker threads (specifically the multithreaded approach) offer some advantages.

It's not a time related issue. Many, MANY people reported issues with the P105-9722 and other variants of the P105. They STILL haven't released anything that fixes the BIOS to function, and it's been 3 years. Hence why when my current one dies, I'll go buy another brand. -- -- Thomas

Tygart Lake State Park marina closing July 13 weekend because of low water levelsGRAFTON, W.Va. – Low water levels at Tygart Lake in Taylor County have resulted in the imminent closure of the marina at Tygart Lake State Park the weekend of July 13. Water release from Tygart Lake is at minimum flow. Elevation for maximum (reservoir full) is 1,167 and normal summer pool is 1,094. "The lake will be at 17 feet below summer pool by July 19, which is 1,077 feet in elevation," said Jim Browning, assistant superintendent at the state park. By August 2, the pool will be at 1,071 feet, which is 23 feet below normal summer pool. "With no significant rainfall in the forecast, the marina is forced to close," Browning said. "The docks will be removed first and then the ramps. The marina is expecting all boats to be out by July 15 and the gas docks to be pulled on July 18 or 19." The marina will close for the season the weekend of July 13. One ramp at the marina area is currently out of service due to low water conditions and a second ramp is operational but will be out of service soon. Access to the lake will only be available at the Pleasant Creek Wildlife Management side of the lake. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which owns the lake, will begin the normal winter draw down on August 15. Tygart Lake State Park operates the recreational and overnight accommodation features of the Tygart Lake area. The state park features a 20-room lodge overlooking the lake controlled by the Army Corps of Engineers. The lodge, meeting facilities, and The Boston Beanery restaurant are open year-round. Vacation cabins, campground, picnic area and marina are seasonal in operation. The marina is operated privately as a concession contract for the state park by Tygart Lake Marina, LLC. Tygart Lake Mariana's phone number is 304-265-3974. For additional information about Tygart Lake State Park, lodge and cabin reservations and activities, visit www.tygartlake.com or call 304-265-6144. Tygart Lake State Park has power restored and continues with cleanup and recovery following the summer storms. With the exception of the administrative area and visitors center in the vicinity of the dam, the lake and its surrounding federal lands are out-granted by the Corps of Engineers to the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources as part of Tygart Lake State Park and the Pleasant Creek Hunting and Fishing Area. About Tygart Lake (from U.S. Army Corps of Engineers website): Tygart Lake is an Army Corps of Engineers lake, 10-miles long and 1,750 acres on the Tygart River in Taylor County about 2.25 miles above Grafton. The lake is located in Taylor and Barbour Counties. Tygart Lake was authorized by the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1935. Tygart Dam was the first of 16 flood control projects in the Pittsburgh District. The project provides flood protection for the Tygart River Valley as well as for the Monongahela and upper Ohio Rivers. Since its completion in 1938, Tygart has prevented flood damages estimated to be nearly $1.2 billion. In addition to flood control, the Tygart project was also authorized for navigation and water supply purposes. During the summer and fall low-water season, Tygart releases additional water downstream to meet navigation water supply requirements on the Monongahela and upper Ohio River for commercial navigation. The increased flow also improves water quality and quantity for domestic and industrial use, recreation, aesthetics and aquatic life. **DNR** |

FHFA Acting Dir. Edward DeMarco
Washington, DC Tuesday, April 10, 2012
The head of the agency regulating Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Tuesday said the two mortgage holding companies could see benefits from reducing loan amounts for some homeowners.
Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Acting Dir. Edward DeMarco said no final decisions have been made on principal reduction, and he defended other programs aimed at helping homeowners facing foreclosure. He spoke at the Brookings Institution in Washington. A panel of housing finance experts also discusses the potential impact on the housing market of a principal reduction program.
The Treasury Department and others have been pressuring the FHFA to reduce the amount owed on some of Fannie and Freddie's mortgage loans in order to prevent foreclosures. DeMarco has opposed the idea, citing the policy's potential impact on Fannie and Freddie's financial health.
Panelists included: CoreLogic Chief Economist Mark Fleming; Nomura Securities International Executive Director Paul Nikodem; George Mason University Distinguished Professor of Real Estate Finance Anthony B. Sanders; and Enterprise Community Partners Senior Director of Policy Development and Research Andrew Jakabovics.

Valencia 3–6 Real Madrid: Higuain Bags A Hat-Trick In The 9 Goal Thriller
Mourinho's men keep the pressure on Barcelona with an emphatic victory at the Mestalla, closing the gap to five points on the league leaders...
By Daniel Quinton-Navarro
The Mestalla stadium witnessed some breath-taking football as Madrid put six goals past a Valencia side who never said die as they kept on fighting until the final whistle.
Karim Benzema had already struck the crossbar before he opened the scoring after 23 minutes when Valencia 'keeper Guaita gifted the Frenchmen with a near open goal.
Madrid's Gonzalo Higuain scored two goals either side of Kaka's strike as the away-side condemned Valencia to their 8th loss of the season; before completing his hat-trick early in the second half.
Roberto Soldado reduced the deficit to four as Madrid's defending became lacklustre but the five-goal advantage was soon restored when Kaka bagged his second goal.
Valencia ensured it was to be a tight finish when goals from Jonas and Jordi Alba reduced the deficit to three with five minutes remaining, inevitably it proved not to be enough as Mourinho's men secured a thrilling victory at the Mestalla.
Mourinho opted to rotate his squad as a much changed Real Madrid side opened tentatively as los Che looked to pressurise the newly crowned Copa del Rey champions early on but Madrid were able to thwart the home-side's advances.
Real Madrid turned it up a gear when Karim Benzema wandered into the penalty area unmarked and rattled the crossbar with a stunning drive from an acute angle.
Madrid forced Guaita into a smart save moments later when Sergio Canales tested him from twenty yards but the Valencia 'keeper got down well to push the ball away.
The goalkeeper though managed to undo his good work soon afterwards when he misjudged Kaka's low cross, palming it into the path of Benzema, who steadied himself before lashing the ball into the back of the net.
Valencia looked to respond immediately and came close when Pablo Hernandez ran towards goal and created room to shoot but his shot brushed the base of the post as los Che remained behind.
They found themselves two goals behind moments later after a miscommunication between Jeremy Mathieu and Guaita. The former waited for his 'keeper to collect the loose ball but Guaita hesitated allowing Higuain to sneak in and supply the finishing touch.
The master class continued as los Blancos extended their lead in the 39th minute with an electrifying attack. Benzema combined with Higuain allowing the Argentine to cross for Kaka. The Brazilian's touch lifted the ball into the roof of the net as Madrid began to dominate the exchanges.
Madrid found enough time before the end of the half to score their fourth goal when Kaka and Higuain reversed their roles. The Brazilian provided the cross for Higuain to provide the simplest of finishes to round of an emphatic first half display.
In between the 3rd and 4th goals Valencia should have found themselves at 3-1 when Ever Banega wasted a superb opportunity to reduce the deficit, but Iker Casillas denied the Argentine with a routine save.
Higuain completed his hat-trick eight minutes after the re-start due to tremendous work from Kaka. The Brazilian star waltzed past Miguel before crossing for the Argentina striker who side-footed his third goal into the back of the net.
Soldado had the chance to restore some parity when he was left with only Casillas to beat but the striker's shot was expertly saved by the Spanish No. 1
Valencia's striker was able to ensure that Casillas didn't leave with a clean sheet when his deft touch from Juan Mata's cross directed the ball into the net, as Soldado scored his 8th goal in 4 games.
It proved to be a minimal blip in Madrid's radar as Kaka responded by scoring his second goal when he side-stepped his defender before prodding the ball into the far corner with a sublime finish.
Los Che scored their 2nd when Jonas rolled the ball past Casillas from 17 yards. The ball was played into Soldado whose quick feet gave the chance for the substitute to reduce the deficit and he did so with the minimal amount of fuss.
And they were within three goals after Jordi Alba was left unmarked at the far post and wrong-footed Casillas to leave Madrid in amazement as the full-time whistle neared.
Valencia ultimately were unable to recover as Madrid secured all three points in a game that represented nothing of what was on show in los Blancos' last outing at the Mestalla stadium.
The victory reduces the gap on Barcelona to five points at the summit of La Liga as Madrid continue to fight for the title.
Real Madrid lock horns with the Spanish champions on Wednesday in the Champions League semi-final and Mourinho will hope that his side take this attacking prowess to the first leg but not their defensive frailties.
Unai Emery's side meanwhile remain on course for a third place finish but will left ruing the chance of topping their highest ever points total of 77.

Absolutely adorable cabins, we stayed in the 'trout house' and it was so nice! Our 7 year old daughter loved all the yard area to play hide and seek as well as her ball. We had deer close by for her to view, as well as the osprey nest to watch the osprey fishing in the sound. Bald eagles were close by as well. The cabins are approx. 5 min. from the 'downtown' Orcas Village so close but yet a nice getaway from the downtown area. The owner is most helpful and pleasant at check in. Just can't say enough great things about it. Was perfect for our trip for sure. We will definately recommend these cabins to others when traveling up to Orcas. And we will stay again when we go up.Recommended for: Sightseeing, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway, adventure seekers.

Our family came for a wedding and had the bonus of staying here in the Trout House. This has been the most comfortable cabin we have stayed in and would love to return. Great location, relaxing setting, comfortable beds, well equipped for family meals - gas grill handy. Matt came from Bozman, MT and wants to come back to explore the island. Julie came from college in Florida for a rest from her engineering courses and a nice visit with cousins from all corners of the country. We came from the mountains of New Hampshire for a delightful sea-side family reunion and wedding. We highly recommend quiet walks to visit the sheep, llama and the local deer who happen by regularly. Portofino Pizza and browsing in town, hiking Moran State Park. Thanks!!Laughing Moon FarmDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Owner info
About the owner: My wife and I and our 4 children moved to this property on Orcas Island from Seattle 15 years ago. After we finished our house we constructed the cabins. We love living here with our sheep and llama and the close island community. It is a great place to live and visit.
Why the Owner Chose Eastsound:
Orcas Island was chosen to build our dream home and to raise our family. We visited the San Juan Islands years before and fell in love with the peaceful Island living.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage:
We live in nature. We are removed from the big city and can listen to the frogs and loons at night. Our resident bald eagle pair are fascinating to keep track of each year. They work on their nest starting in February and lay their eggs in March or April. Our farm animals are a lot of fun and it brings us great joy raising Cotswold rare breed sheep.

Shelter in a storm...
Lightning splashes across
the skin of your closed night eyes
like high beams, instamatic,
from a dream car passing in the street…
a premonition before thunder
breaks the roof of your home
wide open to what really is.
Your children cry out in fear,
and you close all the windows,
to the wet incense of the storm,
in a mad rush like a pioneer.
It seems only minutes until
the city too has been forced
to wake up to itself: sirens, rain,
thoughts of broken lines, fallen
trees, old people dying, a journey
taken by glassy wet speculation,
the entire aquarium of the heart
swimming up into your head.
You pat down the baby girl. 'Rain
daddy,' she says. 'Yes it's nice,'
you reply, a shaman
of sweet simplicities.
Your wife goes, lays with the boy,
your son, who pointed to the lightning
as if the Bible were opening by itself
somewhere way above his gentle mind.
Now it is only the rain that is left,
a guttering music that smells like silver
and the sound of trees accepting the wind.
The family has returned itself to bed,
skin to skin, and that breathing deep sleep
of children you can practically taste,
shelter in a storm, shelter in a storm, shelter in a storm…

Howl: An interview with Warren Ellis
When the American author Mark Twain visited a Victorian gold mining town back in 1885, he was inspired to write: "It was as if the name BALLARAT had suddenly been written in the sky, where all the world could read it at once."
Born almost century later in Ballarat in 1965, the young Warren Ellis must have looked up from Lydiard Street and wondered what this same sky held for him?
In a town where people spent their dreams so recklessly, the ghosts of history had left behind peculiar, melancholy energies. Maybe some of this rubbed off on his father, John Ellis, a fine blue-grass musician given to writing laments like 'Mis'ry is my Middle Name', a song his son would later record with him on an album of lost Australian country classics entitled Where Joy Kills Sorrow.
Now a 44 year old violinist and film composer of world standing, Warren Ellis is capable of drawing on haunted and savage intensities of his own to fuel rock 'n' roll groups as varied the Dirty Three, The Bad Seeds and Grinderman - as well as the soundtracks and theatre scores he develops with his main creative partner, Nick Cave.
Together the pair excelled themselves recently with music for a film adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's Pulitzer-winning novel The Road, the story of an un-named father and son journeying towards the coast after what appears to have been a nuclear holocaust. So much so there is speculation that a nomination for an Academy Award for Best Music is on the way, though a laconic Ellis has joked about using any such prize for an unlikely game of horse-shoes.
Today Ellis' broad Australian accent floats down the phone line from Paris in a distinctly unhurried way, day-dreaming what should have been a 20-minute interview into well over an hour's worth reached-for, but often elusive feelings. Married to Delphine Ciampi he has been based in France for the last twelve years. The couple has two children, Roscoe (8) and Jackson (6). Perhaps not coincidentally Ellis has also been "straight" for those twelve years, turning his life around with initial help from NA, AA and primal scream therapy.
Like Ellis, Nick Cave has also overcome addiction problems and now has two young sons. It's therefore easy to imagine the parental empathies that stirred between these musicians as they were developing the soundtrack for an apocalyptic father-and-son story like The Road.
"When you read The Road you can't not be engaged in it in some personal way, it just doesn't seem possible, whether you have kids or not," Ellis says. "Obviously having kids, there's no way you could do anything without reflecting upon that. It was actually something we had to avoid: falling into that trap of letting those emotions run wild when we were making the music, and over egging the scenes – 'cos it's such a fine line between greatness and sappiness. We had to actually be very…very restrained in many respects."
It was as the unrestrained, violin-playing dervish for the Dirty Three that Ellis first took to the road, establishing them as one of our most surprising success stories of the past decade: a purely instrumental rock 'n' roll band from Downunder. Fans like Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, Cat Power, Will Oldham and Nick Cave all attest to their quality. Cave has spoken admiringly of "their capacity for staying in the moment, getting completely lost in what they are doing and taking audiences along for the ride" (The Age, 31.03.02). But when he invited Ellis to become a full-time member of his backing group The Bad Seeds in 1998 the violinist was forced to re-assess everything – as well as begin managing a dual career that soon got even more complicated.
"With the Dirty Three we just went out and played like our lives depended on it and you all went for it otherwise it just fell to pieces," Ellis explains, almost laughing. "When I started playing with the Bad Seeds I had to learn a very different approach – which was when to find the moment, I guess. And the lyrics will generally dictate that to you: when you can pull out and go for it, when to hold back, when to go under."
Ironically this tactical sense would reinvigorate Ellis' playing in the Dirty Three, slowing and broadening the tempo of their appropriately epic 1998 release Ocean Songs. This month they will perform that album in full as part of the Don't Look Back series of classic rock 'n' roll albums revisited by a band in a live context.
The Dirty Three's gypsy abandonment would meanwhile feedback the other way as Ellis refreshed and loosened the Bad Seeds taut approach, to the point where he has become Cave's principal songwriting foil today. The two have since formed a dirty (some would say lyrically filthy) rock 'n' roll blues side-project called Grinderman, all the while they continue to work on their more restrained and meditative scores for film and theatre.
Ellis and Cave recently previewed music from The Road as part of a broader 2-CD selection of their soundtrack work entitled White Lunar. It also includes their award-winning work on The Proposition (2005) and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007), both off-kilter Westerns with otherworldly intensities. That all three films are also 'road' stories set in isolated frontier spaces might also explain the surprising unity of mood across collection.
With his long hair and longer beard, Ellis certainly makes the White Lunar title seem highly appropriate. It's a howl at the moon look that suggests both the 'Mad Monk' Rasputin and an Australian bushranger on the run. His French wife apparently hates it. The couple's sons are die-hard Nirvana fans similarly under-whelmed by their father's inability to play The Simpson's theme on guitar after six months of trying to master it. They apparently think dad is "a bit thick" when it comes to music.
Ellis can laugh at that. It's not as if his musical education was ever that orthodox. After finding an accordion at the local Ballarat dump when he was only 11, he switched his focus onto the violin, mainly in pursuit of the girls who were also taking lessons. Life changing exposure to records like AC/DC's Back in Black and John Coltrane's Kulu Se Mama in his late teens, along with the musical influence of his father, set him off on a musical journey deep into the Melbourne punk scene of the early 1980s where The Birthday Party were gods and Greek music filtered out of every café he frequented.
Soon enough Ellis was playing with everybody from Kim Salmon to The Triffids' David McComb, who'd acclaim the violinist as "Jimi Hendrix reincarnated". But it was in his own group the Dirty Three with drummer Jim White and guitarist Mick Turner that he would find his feet spectacularly. Though as Ellis once observed, "Who'd have bet on a fiddle player in an instrumental rock 'n' roll group ever being a success story?"
Over time he has expanded his instrumental repertoire, picking up the mandolin, piano, flute and bouzouki, as well as a recent fascination for hand-playing various effects and distortion pedals. To see him sprawled across the floor with his gadgets during a Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds show is to witness something less like music being played than a wizard at the electric cauldron.
Ellis explains how he and Cave record in an "organic" way for their soundtrack work, jamming and then developing entire pieces for film rather than attempting to "spot" the music into particular scenes. "We see a piece all the way through," he emphasizes, "we don't just make a 20 second atmospheric thing. We'll make a three or four minute piece. It's the only way we know how to work. We tried to spot cues at first, but it didn't seem to work out for us. It just wasn't in our nature to do it."
"I've only ever seen two other film composers at work anyway," he admits. "The guy who's done the last few James Bond films – and Danny Elfman who did The Simpsons!"
A part of his attraction to sculpting what he calls "the most beautiful chance encounters" out of this jamming process with Cave is also a matter of practicality. The projects they have worked on are often unfinished at the time the pair been scheduled into the studio to provide a soundtrack. In the wake of that Ellis talks about the necessity of constructing "music that is moveable. Malleable is the word really. It has to be able to move."
He worries he is underselling the preparatory work he and Cave do: reading each script, watching scenes and unedited footage, deciding on instrumentation and potential arrangements, then letting rip once they get together. "I think we've got more in common with the way they did Pat Garrett and Bill the Kid than how Star Wars was done. I guess that's all I'm saying."
"Have you seen David [McComb's] book of poetry?" he asks of the singer-songwriter who passed away just before his 37th birthday in 1999, and has lately been memorialized with a posthumous suite of poems called Beautiful Waste as well as a wide-ranging collection of essays and memoir reflections on his life and work entitled Vagabond Holes. "It still kinda cracks me up about Dave," Ellis says. "I'm not sure I ever really knew where to put that, with him disappearing, him… going like that. It was all so abrupt. But the end is always abrupt. It just felt…" Ellis loses the words then starts to speak again. "It's just a reminder of how young he was. I kinda thought he was old at the time, but now I see he wasn't even vaguely old. Now that I'm older than he was. He had such a big vision back then."
The conversation dissolves completely for a moment, before Ellis begins discussing his passion for watching old Australian movies like Walkabout and Last Wave repeatedly the past year. There's a quality" to them he feels profoundly "familiar" with, "even though I know that's not how Australia is now. But there seems to be something resonant about them when I try to find a place I know in my mind." At home in his Paris garden he has planted a bottle brush and a wattle tree. Playing music offers the same sense of 'place' for him somehow. Not so surprising when you realize both he and Nick Cave are from regional Victoria. "Yeah, [we're] boys from the west," Ellis says proudly. "Nick grew up only a few hundred kilometers down the road from me."
Currently his word of choice appears to be "psychedelic" when trying to express what he seeks from creating instrumental music, as well the new direction of the next Grinderman album and just about anything else he does. The premium is on freedom, and some kind of internal dreaming. "I've always enjoyed playing with Nick," he says of that freedom. "And I've always liked what he has brought out in me. He has an unbridled enthusiasm, and he pushes me to go as far as I can – and then to go further. It's always felt like a healthy relationship to me. I've never been the kinda guy who could play with just anyone."

'Gutty performance' ends Packers' four-decade skid in Philly
By: By Jim Polzin, The Wisconsin State Journal, Superior Telegram
PHILADELPHIA — As the player who has been with the Green Bay Packers the longest, Donald Driver has a better perspective than any of his teammates on the pain inflicted on the organization over the years in the City of Brotherly Love.
So forgive the veteran wide receiver if he spends a little extra time savoring the Packers' 27-20 season-opening victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday before a crowd of 69,144 at Lincoln Financial Field.
"You get the opportunity to come here and win, like this, and it's fun," said Driver, who caught a touchdown pass in the second quarter. "You have to smile. To get this win in front of the fans and that home crowd is something we have to (be happy) about for a long time."
Coach Mike McCarthy used the phrase "gutty performance" more than once during his postgame news conference after the Packers won in Philadelphia for the first time since 1962, ending a run of nine consecutive losses that included the unforgettable "Fourth-and-26 Game" in the playoffs following the 2003 season.
McCarthy didn't mention the losing skid to his team leading up to the game, but he made sure to bring it up to his players after the Packers survived a shaky performance from quarterback Aaron Rodgers and some injuries to key players.
"I've been here and had a lot of heartbreakers," Packers middle linebacker Nick Barnett said. "It feels good to leave this stadium with a win."
For a while it looked like it might be a breeze, but the Packers knew better than to get too comfortable after building a 17-point lead in the third quarter. Strange stuff happens when Green Bay visits Philadelphia, and it almost did again Sunday.
The Eagles went nowhere behind quarterback Kevin Kolb, who was making his third career start after being handed the team in the offseason when Donovan McNabb was traded to the Washington Redskins. It wasn't until Kolb left the game with a concussion that Philadelphia came to life.
Led by backup Michael Vick, who looked like the same electric player he was early in his career, Philadelphia rallied to pull within a touchdown late in the game.
Vick ran for 103 yards — he averaged 9.4 yards per carry — but the Eagles needed one more from him.
Facing a fourth-and-1 from the Packers' 42-yard line after the 2-minute warning, Vick lined up in the shotgun and tried a quarterback sneak. But Packers defensive linemen B.J. Raji and Ryan Pickett, who weigh a combined 677 pounds, plugged the A gap and allowed Barnett and outside linebacker Clay Matthews to stop Vick for no gain.
"We knew what they were going to try to do — everyone in the stadium knew," Raji said. "It was just a matter of will."
Three kneel-downs from Rodgers, and Green Bay had won in Philadelphia for the first time in 48 years.
"It wasn't always pretty for us," Packers running back Ryan Grant said, "but you've got to be able to pull out some wins like that."
It certainly wasn't pretty at times for the offense, which lost Grant to an ankle injury in the second quarter and struggled mightily in the first and fourth quarters.
In between, the Packers turned a 3-0 deficit into a 27-10 lead by scoring on five of six possessions that stretched over the halves. Three of those drives lasted at least 10 plays as the Packers had the Eagles almost doubled in time of possession at the midway point of the third quarter.
But the Packers' next three possessions resulted in a three-and-out, Rodgers' second interception of the game and another punt. Rodgers, who started slow before finding his rhythm in the middle of the game, finished 19-for-31 for 188 yards — his fifth-lowest total in his 33 career starts — with touchdown passes to Driver and Greg Jennings and the two picks.
"I played terrible," Rodgers said. "It was probably about as bad as I could play. ... It's got to get better. I missed a lot of throws that I make in my sleep, so I'm disappointed about that. But I think we made just enough plays to win."
Indeed, the Packers did. And the importance of the victory — even though it's only Week 1 — can't be discounted.
Green Bay faces difficult road games at the New York Jets, Minnesota, Atlanta and New England, so Sunday's victory in a difficult environment was a crucial first step for a team that hasn't hidden the fact that it views itself as a Super Bowl contender.
"It makes a real big statement," Packers tight end Jermichael Finley said. "It just lets people know that we're not going to back down and we're not going to stop."
