Polar Bear's Seb Rochford Launches Singles Club
Published 23 January 2012 by BWL
Polar Bear's Sebastian Rochford has launched a brand new monthly singles club under the banner 'Days And Nights At The Takeaway'. Each single will feature a different collaborator (or collaborators), backed with an exclusive remix of the track, and the singles will be released on the last Friday of the month throughout 2012, beginning this Friday (January 27).
The tracks will all be recorded in Seb's studio in a former takeaway in London (hence the project name). We're looking at some pretty spectacular guests working with Seb throughout the year, and the music is going to be extremely varied, as you might expect.
The first release in the series is a collaboration with LA poet & singer Gina Loring and British Indian vocalist Ranjana Ghatak, entitled 'Love A Sacred Path'. The track comes complete with a superb remix by Keysound/Hyperdub mainstays LV. It's perhaps not what you'd expect from him, but Rochford's long immersion in the worlds of hip-hop and dubstep has been increasingly apparent since the release of the Common Ground collaboration with UK MC Jyager in 2010, and his production work with rapper Mikill Pane in the last year. You can stream the tracks below and buy from our shop (tracks will be available for download from Friday).
The artwork for each release takes the form of an imitation takeaway menu, and the visual reference is carried through to the project's dedicated blog. There will be a series of live events around the project in London, featuring Polar Bear and special guests.

Open Thread: Everything You're Reading, Watching, Listening To and Looking At
This is your place to talk about the TV, movies, music, books and art that are thoroughly entertaining you.
Brad Pitt is a hard fellow to dislike. Even though I've heard that Chanel paid him $7m to stand around in what looks like a stonewashed port-a-loo, looking vaguely scruffy and unsettled and mumbling some old tosh about fate, I STILL can't dislike him.
Instead, this advert just makes me increasingly incensed. Who dared to imprison Brad Pitt in this monochrome Athena-poster purgatory, I wonder. WHO is swinging that light above his head? WHO is clearly torturing a puppy just out of shot, because what else could cause such a furrow in the mighty Brad Pitt brow?
WHO hurt you, Brad? I'll get Liam fucking Neeson from Taken on the case, I swear to god, just TELL me.
The thing is, I already have a thimble of Chanel No 5 that I stingily pipette onto my pulse points on special occasions, and when that runs out I doubt Brad Pitt's furtling oration will inspire me to buy more. However, here are five monologues that MIGHT:
The Chanel advert could benefit from the gravitas of Rutger Hauer's ad-libbed android death monologue from Blade Runner. Also, just FYI, I'd probably buy the shit out of any perfume called Attack Ships On Fire Off The Shoulder Of Orion, even if it smelled like J-Lo Glow.
Like Brad Pitt, Bill Murray philosophises about fate, luck and fortune in this Ghostbusters scene. However, he swaps Brad Pitt's confused-lion quavering for relaxed daytime drinking on the steps of a civic building, which is both more charming AND more legal.
Keanu Reeves in Johnny Mnemonic NEEDS a comPEWtor! Oh right, THAT'S a ridiculous proposal for a Chanel advert, but Brad Pitt whispering into his sleeve isn't? FINE.
Oh look! It's Brad Pitt in Fight Club! And he's delivering a dramatic monologue without looking like a minor country music celebrity making a regret-tinged public service video about hepatitis!
This Sesame Street speech ticks all the boxes that the Chanel advert was presumably going for – philosophy, friendship, the meaning of life, a cookie. It's basically the Iliad, is my point.
Now, can someone PLEASE let Brad Pitt out of that port-a-loo?

Relax in a spa overlooking a vineyard
One of our favorite suggestions includes taking a swim in a pool with views of vineyards, then relaxing in the jacuzzi.
A Michelin dinner with wine on a terrace
There are some meals that are remembered for a lifetime, not just for the anticipated flavors, but for the beauty of the dishes, and the stunning views. The wine and carefully prepared dishes will become a memory for many years to come.

Gathering shellfish means harvesting seafood that live near or on the beach or shoreline. This is traditional work that approaches nature like no other and one that provides some the best seafood dishes.

Witnesses say they heard a large explosion shortly after 15 Hours Universal Time at the Exxon facility, followed by a massive fire. Billows of dark smoke blanketed the area, but the blaze appears to be subsiding. Some media are reporting that the blaze may have occurred while a tanker was being refueled. A spokesman for the FBI in Washington says it is too early to pinpoint the cause. He added the Bureau is monitoring the situation because the facility is the type considered vulnerable to terrorist attacks. There have no immediate confirmation of injuries.

After my last novel, a semi-doleful book about a woman dying of cancer (Good to a Fault), I intended the The Little Shadows to be a vaudeville romp. I wanted to sashay around onstage and make jokes and have a good time for a change.
I planned the book's five year span to start in 1909 and end before the First World War began, but discovered that the vaudeville circuits I wanted to talk about only expanded west in 1912, when old makeshift theatres were torn down and beautiful brick opera houses were built throughout the prairies. That pushed the timeline through to 1917, halfway through the war.
Researching vaudeville was an unalloyed pleasure—poring over hilarious accounts of performance and charming early photographs of gawky girls in silly costumes; quiet days spent reading other people's letters (one of my favourite things to do!) and going through fonds boxes in archives, finding hidden treasure. One wonderful day, giving up on the dearth of vaudeville material in the Alberta provincial archive, I decided to look up prairie boarding houses. The first fonds box I opened was from a boarding house in Edmonton that catered exclusively to vaudeville artistes, each of whom had left the landlady a photo or postcard with heartfelt thanks for her good cooking scrawled across the back.
Researching the First World War was—alloyed, if that's the opposite of unalloyed, to put it mildly. During the summer while I worked on the sections of The Little Shadows that are set in London from 1915-17, my teenage son kept racing upstairs to find out why I was crying.
It was the letters that got to me. The ordinary voices, the uncomplaining sense of duty or fate.
When one writer is subjected to chlorine gas—his own gas, blown back over the lines—there is no sense of injustice, just ill luck. In the hospital the dying work to make things gay, to keep their comrades' spirits up. The wounded are scheduled to arrive home from the Front at midnight when the streets are quiet, not for ease of transport but so that the general populace will not be subjected to worry.
In the early letters and newspaper articles I saw a willingness, an eagerness for war that seems to rise from time to time in all of us. I wish I could believe that it's connected to oppression, to a corresponding tide of evil which must be beaten back, but I am afraid it is not so rational. And I am afraid of its rise again, after the prolonged period of prosperity the western world has luxuriated in. Because I have a son, and a daughter; because I've read those firsthand accounts that make the dailiness of war hideously vivid.
Researching the war, I was looking for the small things of everyday life that would have mattered most to the girls in The Little Shadows: the long line of ambulances waiting at night for the soldiers coming in from France, the way the soldiers looked on the street in London, gossipy rumours of zeppelin sightings. Incremental changes back in Canada, in a small town on the prairie, as the bright banners go up in church and the boys are reported killed, by twos and threes, and some sense of the war's huge appetite comes home to those far from the Front.
Books were a great help—among them of course the officially-indispensable Great War and Modern Memory by Paul Fussell—but soldiers' letters were better for my purposes, both unpublished letters in archives and an almost-unbearable book called Diary Kid, the Canadian soldier John Teahan's diaries, published by Oberon in 1999.
What brought my son galloping up the stairs most often, though, was a letter I found in a small-town museum, a soldier's letter sent home not through the post but with a friend, and therefore uncensored. Here he is talking about a German high explosive shell called a coal-box:
"Take one of your milk creamer cans, for size, only make it an inch thick of steel. Put about five hundred pounds of gun cotton, cordite or lyddite, then fill it up with bolts, burrs, rivets, anything and everything that will kill—shoot this thru the air at the rate of 2000 feet per minute and when directly overhead, about 10, 20 or 30 yards from you, let it burst! Goodnight! Talk of thunder, nothing to it. And it is not the explosion of the cursed coal-box that gets one's nerves, it's the whining, groaning noise it makes as it speeds thru the air towards its victims. Rifle fire is bad—when you hear a bullet go zip! past your head, or one buries itself in a sandbag an inch from you upper story is not at all healthy, and when bullets are coming thick like hail—it is not nice at all, but give me the rifle fire all day, every day, instead of one of those hellish coal-boxes.
No wonder to hear of men and see them go plumb loony, nutty—you read of such cases in the papers, how men suffer from breakdown. Don't think they are nervous or weak or anything like that; pity them rather, for the whine and sizzle of the shell in the air, and the awful suspense of waiting for the explosion to come is what does the trick. —Enough of this—it is getting on to dusk, so with love to all and to Jessie for the pansies, I'll close…"
This was the first war that ordinary people wrote about, that their families read about. Letters and reports from the Front detailed the unimaginable, beginning-to-be-imagined horrors.
During the Great War not just the officers (some of them the greatest literary lights of the time) but the enlisted men were able to read and write, and could send home accounts of the truth of war. The same kind of change we're seeing again in the uprisings of the last few months, now that everyone has a cellphone and can text or send home instantaneously the video of what is happening in the streets.
I hope somehow those texts and videos are kept, so that a hundred years from now someone else's mother, seeing them, can break down in helpless fury against the thought of war.
More tomorrow…

TONOPAH, Ariz. -- The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office is investigating after human remains were found near an irrigation canal in Tonopah Monday morning.
Some workers near the irrigation canal at 387th and Orangewood avenues found what appeared to be skeletal remains and called the sheriff's office, according to MCSO spokesman Officer Chris Hegstrom.
MCSO investigated and found body parts scattered throughout about a mile area.
"We have found the parts of an entire body," Hegstrom said.
Investigators believe the remains have been there for some time, but are not able to give a time frame at this point.
It is not known if the remains are that of a male or female. Investigators will try to identify the body and determine what happened.
At this point, it is being investigated as a suspicious death.

When you're working on your brain dump, make sure to include the name of the company, its location, dates of employment, and several bullet points describing your role and responsibilities for each position you list. Although you may need to expand on the bullet points later on, you'll need this information at the minimum.
Only include your GPA if it is higher than 3.5 on a 4 point scale (no need to mention that 2.0 when you moved into the frat house sophomore year) and only if you are a recent graudate. There are a few exceptions to this rule, like if you're applying for a job in academia or engineering where a GPA is expected. You can also list honors or awards if you're a recent graduate. If you attended college, but did not finish your degree, list the number of credits obtained. For recent graduates, education and internship are your main selling point. But if you've already been in the workforce, tone down your education section, the best rule of thumb is that one line will suffice.

After watching Phaunt Actions's tutorial on adding texture to pictures I knew I wanted to try this hot trend in photography. I waited for the right opportunity to come along and sure enough, it did. A couple of weeks ago I did a shoot for this lovely little girl. This picture was certainly not one of the best from the shoot - especially since I ended up reflecting a little too much light into her face, and had a little flare around the bottom edge. But her sinister express and dark clothing made it a perfect candidate for the Halloween card and I told the mom as much.
So I wasn't surprised when she contacted me the other day to ask me to mock up a Halloween card using the picture. I knew this was the perfect opportunity to try out texturing. I definitely had some ideas for what I wanted too.
My first step was to desaturate the picture because I wanted the final to be black and white. I knew I wanted to start out with a brocade style fabric. The tutorial recommended Texture King as a place to go for free textures and sure enough, under their fabrics category they had something I thought would work perfectly.
You can see I had a lot of layers for this image. The first texture layer was the brocade which I also desaturated and put in the overlay blend mode. Using a layer mask I removed most of the texture from her face and arms leaving it heavily in the rest of the picture. I definitely wanted it to be the dominate texture. I positioned the layer so that the center swirly area would be over her clothes where it would really come through.
The second layer was from the grunge category on Texture King. It looks like stained cement. Again, in overlay mode and using a mask to back it off on the face and arm. I made a copy of the merged version of the image and burned the edges some. Then I decided I still wanted to add a little more texture. So I made a copy of the brocade layer to deepen it. I brought in a final texture that was like a bubbling/pealing paint texture.
I wanted to warm up the picture a little bit so I ran the Antique Tone action from my Totally Rad Action Mix (Boutwell Studio). It gave it the perfect amount of warmth and even helped to highlight some of the texture in the picture. Here's the final result. The mom loved it.

Volunteers Prepare To Aid In Hurricane Matthew's Path
New And Veteran Red Cross Volunteers Sign Up To Go South
Hurricane Matthew's damage in Florida is beginning to show as the storm clears.
In Georgia and South Carolina, heavy rains, winds and flooding continue as Matthew makes its way around the East Coast of the United States.
The images from this part of the country aren't lost on people more than a thousand miles north.
In Sioux Falls, volunteers came to the Eastern South Dakota Red Cross branch for a quick training.
Eastern South Dakota Executive Director Jennifer Ross said they are preparing these prospects to help down south.
"Everybody who walks through these doors is making a tremendous sacrifice out of the goodness of their heart to be able to help others who are suffering," Ross says.
Ross said the training is crucial for any Red Cross volunteer, whether new or veteran, so they can keep the well-oiled machine rolling on the scene of disaster.
"We're getting everybody prepared so we're speaking the same language; we all have the same processes. We're safe, we're efficient and we're ready to serve the community," Ross says.
One volunteer, Rhonda Hayes is no stranger to volunteering.
She spends time at the Faith Temple Food Giveaways in Sioux Falls every week.
When she was asked if she'd be interested in helping those is Hurricane Matthew's path, she took the challenge.
"You can sit home and watch it and say that's too bad, I feel sorry for them but what they need is people who are actually willing to get up out of the chair and go to where the need is and to help out and do what they can," Hayes says.
With a clear schedule, Hayes is preparing to leave her home to help those whose homes may not be the same.
And with seven other volunteers looking to join her on the trip, Hayes said their calling is the best of human nature.
"One thing I love about America is that we do reach out and help our neighbors and the people that are in need whether it's literally in our own town or across the country," Hayes says.
The volunteers heading south could leave as early as Monday or Tuesday to go to Florida, Georgia or South Carolina.
They will be on a two week deployment aiding with storm damage.
Ross says the Dakota Region Red Cross has deployed 22 volunteers from North and South Dakota to help with Hurricane Matthew.
Nine of those are currently from the eastern South Dakota branch.

Rona Ambrose Minister of Status of Women, has been skewered by the media party and the left for voting in favour of M312 last week a motion that was brought forth by CPC MP Stephen Woodworth that would have had a parliamentary committee study when life begins from scientific point of view. The NDP and others are calling for Ambrose's head. They think that just because Rona is the Minister for women's issues that she shouldn't vote in favour of any pro-life issues and that the issue of abortion should not be allowed to be debated.
In fact NDP Irene Mathyssen say's it's a "literally a slap in the face to women." Wow!
Rona Ambrose represents ALL women, pro-abortion,pro-life and even unborn women. Yes, all you critics out there, some of those aborted babies are women, little women who would if given the chance to grow up would become adult women. Rona did the right thing for standing up for even women in the womb and I applaud her for that.
No one is this country should be censored for talking about abortion for any reason at anytime. At least Liberal MP John Mckay recognizes that.
OTTAWA - Liberal MP John McKay says it has been "awkward" to be in the pro-life minority in Parliament since he first came to Ottawa 15 years ago but he believes Canada's abortion debate will never be over.
McKay, one of four Grit MPs who voted in favour of a motion calling for a review of "when life begins" this week, is outraged over the suggestion debate should on stifled.
"It is going to be discussed, and it is going to keep coming up and it is failure of political will to actually deal with it," McKay told reporters outside the Commons Friday.

Chief Judge Alex Kozinski Is the McClatchy Jurist in Residence at King Hall
Posted By Kevin R. Johnson, Oct 28, 2011
Chief Judge Alex Kozinski of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit just wrapped-up two packed days at King Hall, where he was the McClatchy Jurist in Residence and delivered the Central Valley Foundation/James B. McClatchy Lecture on the First Amendment. Judge Kozinski was extremely generous with his time with our faculty, students, and guests!
Chief Judge Kozinski in the Kalmanovitz Appellate Courtroom
On Wednesday, Judge Kozinski toured King Hall and had lunch with the law faculty. During this informal lunch, he talked some about the state of the Ninth Circuit, recent judicial nominations, and the national reputation of the Ninth Circuit. He also gave presentations to several classes, including Professor Ash Bhagwat's Constitutional Law II and Professor Alan Brownstein's Advanced Constitutional Law Seminar.
On Wednesday evening, he joined a large group for dinner at the Davis home of Steve Boutin '72, past president of the King Hall Alumni Board. I was there. Also in attendance were Susan McClatchy, Lauren Wolkov (Executive Director of the Central Valley Foundation, Judge Kim Mueller (U.S. District Court for the Eastern District), David Post '71 (Central Valley Foundation Board Member), Associate Dean Vik Amar, Professors Bhagwat, Brownstein, Carlton Larson, and Donna Shestowsky, and Jean Korinke (Assistant Dean of Development and Alumni Relations). At dinner, I thanked Judge Kozinski for being our lecturer, and also thanked the Central Valley Foundation for supporting the First Amendment Lecture series at King Hall. During the meal, we learned that Judge Kozinski is an excellent dinner companion who tells very funny jokes. It was a great gathering, and Steve and Linda Boutin were perfect hosts.
On Thursday, Law Students Association President Rabia Paracha escorted Judge Kozinski to King Hall, where he met with students in Professor Brownstein's Law and Religion Seminar and the Federalist Society, American Constitution Society, and other student groups. At lunchtime, students were invited to join him for sandwiches and ask questions about the judiciary. The classroom was packed!
Chief Judge Kozinski answers law students' questions over lunch.
The main event, the Central Valley Foundation/James B. McClatchy Lecture on the First Amendment, took place in the afternoon. Judge Kozinski gave an excellent lecture, entitled, "The First Amendment in the Age of Information Overload." He talked about what it means to have free speech in the Internet Age, and how Wikileaks, Twitter, and other forms of electronic communication have changed the world. His primary point was that the Internet has made the First Amendment nearly obsolete because, in today's online world, it's impossible to suppress speech. The lecture was attended by an overflow audience. I especially enjoyed seeing Professor Floyd Feeney back at King Hall after an extended absence.
Many thanks to Judge Kozinski for spending time at King Hall. And thanks to the Central Valley Foundation for its support of UC Davis School of Law!

How to Make Instant Croutons
By: Food Network Magazine
To give your salad extra crunch, just toss in some chopped toasted bread. For extra flavor, rub the toast with garlic first; we did this for Food Network Magazine's Grilled Chicken Salad With Gazpacho Dressing. These quick croutons are especially great in summer tomato salads — they soak up all of the tasty liquid.

A few weeks ago I was invited along to a Cocktail making masterclass hosted my Joe Bloggers and Curry's held at Revolution Vodka Bar where we spent our evening making coffee based cocktails! Normally when I drink cocktails I tend to stick to fruity and fresh ones, my favourites being Cherry Drop, Amaretto Sours, Long Island Ice Tea and Zombie Nation. So it made a nice change to try creamier and coffee based cocktails that I usually would overlook on a cocktail menu.
With the help of the two barman Josh and Rory we all got the chance to have a go at making cocktails of our own. We were all split into groups of 10 with 5 people per barman and made a range of different cocktails. My group made the cocktail "Honey Bee" which was made up especially for the event by the Revolution barmen themselves.
What You Need:
2 shots of Honey Flavoured Whiskey
1 Shot of Gomme Syrup
100ml of Espresso
A slosh of a milk and cream mix
Squirty cream to decorate.
How To Make It:
One | Along with ice add the ingredients one by one into a mixing glass
Two | Place the shaker onto the glass, give it a hard tap to make sure its sealed and shake shake shake!
Three | Tap the shaker wit the palm of your hand to loosen the glass and using a strainer pour the drink into a jam jar filled with ice.
Four | Add a blob of squirty cream, the more the merrier and enjoy!
If Honey Bee doesn't take your fancy theres 4 other cocktail recipes to try here

tachyon I've booked and paid for this already with Churchill Safaris. They have a good reputation, but aren't the cheapest lot out there. I wanted the confidence that I wasn't going to get ripped off and that I'd get a reasonable quality trip, so the extra couple of hundred dollars I'm paying is worth it IMO. As it's already booked, the trip dates are inflexible, but if anybody else is in the area at the same time and is looking for a way to split costs, let me know!
