A spell of bitterly cold weather is set to blast Northern Ireland next week.
The freezing temperatures - with air coming from Siberia - is expected to start on Sunday (February 25).
Snow is also expected. Also read this
Martin Bowles, a Meteorologist from the Met Office said: "Next week is going to get significantly colder.
"At the moment we have high pressure which is gradually moving further north and will pass over Northern Ireland in the next couple of days.
"When it reaches Scandinavia - which it will do on Saturday/Sunday - it will direct the air from Siberia and Russia across the UK and Northern Ireland.
"We are expecting next week to have much colder temperatures than you have had recently and much colder than you would normally get at the end of February/March."
Mr Bowles added: "The air will be coming from a very cold place - Siberia.
"We will not have the same temperatures as Siberia but we will have cold temperatures."
He said we will see "a reasonably long cold spell".
"We are expecting all of next week and the first week of March to be pretty cold.
"Normally we refer to spring starting on March 1 - but this year it will be postponed as it is going to be very cold at that time."
He added that Northern Ireland is "going to get snow".
"There will be snow because there is quite a showery mass coming in, mainly affecting the eastern parts of Scotland, but there will be some snow in Northern Ireland.
"There may not be a lot of snow that settles," he added.

Have any of you been looking for housing lately? We expect to move into our own place at the beginning of the year, but where? And how much will it be? It looks as if everything is way more than we can afford!
Now, I'm not very fussy. If it keeps out the snow and rain, can be heated with a woodfire (safely) and has some form of sanitation and a water source, we're pretty much okay with that. We would prefer, obviously, a garden, some sheds or barn for animals, a quiet, natural setting. But we have been happy in a nineteen foot travel trailer and a 300 square foot cabin. We don't need much.
Housing is expensive because it is a valuable commodity. It should be a basic human right – shelter. We live in manufactured mansions while many in the rest of the world live in what barely counts as shelter – it doesn't keep out the rain, or animals, or thieves. (Yes, thieves steal from the poor all the time – a few dollars, medications, a wedding ring, even food.)
But for the poor, housing and basic shelter are a constant struggle. Nothing will bring me to tears and all-out panic faster than the prospect of being homeless. I find looking for affordable housing to be exhausting, discouraging and frustrating. We hear things like, "We will need a deposit," although every place we lived together has been in better condition when we left than when we moved in; "no pets," although my old sheepdog has neve done damage, barely makes a noise, and I always clean up after herin the yard, and heaven knows, it would break our hearts (hers and mine) to be separated now; "you'll have to take it month-to-month, I may want it back for my daughter in three months" or "you'll have to sign a lease because people move out of here after just a couple of months and I'll want the whole year's rent," which means there is something terribly, terribly wrong.
If I could buy a house it would be cheaper by the month, but even if we can scrape together a down payment, I don't have a job and we won't qualify for a mortgage. There are cheap properties in rural areas, perfect for homesteaders like us, but after a year and more of financial disaster due to Nicholas's stroke, we have no credit. We don't have parents to co-sign. My father is the only surviving parent, he is in his eighties, and he is in another country.
One author we like, Ferenc Mate, in his book A Reasonable Life, pointed out that it used to be that when a couple got married, they went out to the edge of the village, everyone helped build a house, and the young people moved in. Land and property weren't commodities – they were community property. Oh, in the days of feudalism, one had to ask the lord if it was okay to put up your hut or cottage, but likely he'd say yes, because a newly married couple meant soon-to-be-born babies who would grow up to be productive labourers.
Just about everything we see on real estate and housing, home decoration and family life, is geared toward selling us the American dream – the big house, the rooms full of furniture, kitchen heavy with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances and expensive cookware. But people don't seem to live in these houses; they merely exist, moving between bed, car and soul-grinding job. They long for escape. So then we see the advert with the father finding the family members scattered in different rooms, all of them connected to a different electronic device. He takes them on a vacation in a motorhome to make them reconnect around the campfire, under the stars.
That house, in this market, must have cost a half-million dollars; everyone is in their own room. They are not talking to each other because they are comfortable in upholstered furniture, passively receiving communication through television and the internet. Is there some reason they can't build a fire in that fieldstone fireplace in the barn-sized living room, turn off the devices and talk to each other in their own home? A half-million dollar home, filled with tens of thousands of dollars worth of furnishings, and they have to buy an $80,000 furnished, self-propelled dumpster to have a conversation?
All right, I'm serious about this. We are looking for, first of all, community. We want to live among other Christians, we want some self-supporting work, we want to grow our own food. I don't know yet how much we can pay in rent, or if we could possibly buy something with a low down payment and low monthly payments. We are clean, tidy and skilled. We are quiet. We aren't perfect. We have the occasional light drink but you would never know it. We are good neighbours. I am used to being called out of bed in the middle of the night because someone is in need of help.
Is it possible? Does the medieval sense of community still exist? Is it possible to recapture the sense of the early church in being Christians together?
We are poor financially, but we are rich in knowledge. Who needs that in their community? Who has room?

The rise in popularity of contemporary art over the past decade has led the price tag on many living artists' work to soar exponentially. One of the painters who has truly benefited from this upswing is Marlene Dumas. In 2002, the South-African born Neo-Expressionist had sent few paintings to auction and her record sales price was approximately $50,000. In 2008, The Visitors, her Kirschner-esque painting of six working girls waiting for a john, sold at Sotheby's for $6.3 million, making her the most expensive living female artist.
Although the market has been good to Ms. Dumas, the artist's distaste for speculative art buyers has led her to create a 'blacklist' of individuals to whom she will not sell a piece. If she and her dealers discover that a collector has been buying paintings only to turn them over for a profit, they add said philistine to the index. Dumas' frequently updated list is the subject of a lawsuit between Craig Robins, a collector and successful real estate developer and art dealer, David Zwirner. In 2004, Robins sold a piece in his collection, Dumas' painting, Reinhardt's Daughter through the David Zwirner Gallery. The haunting, thinly-painted canvas depicts an upside-down baby fading into a dark background. The piece alludes to the work of Ad Rienhardt, the mid-century American abstract expressionist, who is noted for his black paintings. It's title suggests that it is a sort of self-portrait and exploration of how the female artist's work fits into the boys club of art history.
According to Robins, Zwirner agreed to keep the terms of the transaction confidential to avoid angering Ms. Dumas. When Zwirner began representing the artist in 2008, he allegedly informed her of the sale, causing the irate painter to add Robins to her blacklist. Robins is now suing David Zwirner for $8 million, claiming that the dealer reneged on his promise to get him off the list and to offer him first dibs after museums on choice pieces from Dumas' recent Middle East-themed exhibition, Against the Wall. Mr. Robins has also filed a preliminary injunction against the New York dealer in an attempt to stop him from selling three choice works from Against the Wall that he as been eying. The judge will give his ruling on the issue shortly.
The lawsuit illustrates the strange line between property and vehicle intellectual expression that art occupies. On the one hand, if an artist creates a tortured, confessional work, it it totally understandable that she would want to place it with a genuine art lover who will appreciate it, lend it to the occasional museum for a show, and perhaps eventually donate it to a cultural institution. The collector's relationship to the piece can also greatly influence the work's later art historical significance, the fact of which artists and dealers are keenly aware.
At the same time, there is no other area of investment where a person is expected to hold onto property out of principle, regardless of whether it's value is increasing exponentially offering a chance at extraordinary financial gain. Artists might like to think that a collector's purchase is motivated solely by their love of the art, rather than investment strategy. The reality is that anything that costs hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, whether it is purchased out of love, necessity or speculation, is an investment. Moreover, people's lives, financial needs and aesthetic tastes change over time and a collector may have many reasons for parting with an artwork beyond a cynical desire to cash in.

Bay Area rapper E-40 is giving back to his alma matter in a big way. The Vallejo, Ca. native, whose real name is Earl Stevens, donated $25,000 worth of backpacks and school supplies to students from Franklin Middle School in his hometown Tuesday.
The platinum-award-winning 48-year-old rapper, who is known to throw turkey, backpack and toy drives, told reporters at the event that he had grown up on nearby Magazine Street and made the honor roll in eighth grade.
"This is very important to me, school's everything," he said. "I'm just giving back. I love the kids. I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing."
U.S. & World
His message to the kids: "Stay in school, stay out of trouble, stay positive."
A Title 1 school, Franklin Middle School has been providing backpacks and school supplies to students on the first day of school for the past two years. When E-40 found out that the school has been unable to secure a grant this year he made sure that every student was able to choose a Jansport backpack, which came filled with necessary supplies like pencils, pens, notebooks, binders and folders.
"Kids are our future and we must invest in them," E-40 said. "It's good to be involved in your community. If you're in a position to help someone, I think you should do it. I'm playing my position."
Every backpack also came with a handwritten note from E-40:
Dear Franklin Scholars,
Welcome to Franklin Middle School! For the past two years, Franklin Middle School has been providing backpacks and school supplies to our students on the first day of school through community donations and grants. When Earl "E-40" Stevens learned that the school was unable to secure a grant for the beginning of the school year, he was more than willing to meet the need of our school site. E-40 stated, "Kids are our future and we must invest in them. Not every kid is privileged to afford school supplies, but every kid deserves to be equipped with the tools necessary to succeed." Every student at Franklin Middle School is able to select a Jansport backpack filled with school supplies and a personal message from our sponsor, E-40.
Earl "E-40" Steven is a true example of what you can accomplish with hard work and motivation. One of the most celebrated rappers of all time, E-40 has attained legendary status in hip-hop. At age 48, E-40 is an anomaly in hip-hop, maintaining his relevance over a career that spans four decades, which boasts several platinum and gold singles. E-40's success extends beyond the music industry, most notably through his entrepreneurship in other industries. E-40 is continuing his unprecedented longevity and success as an independent artist with his double album, The D-Boy Diary: Book 1 & 2, scheduled for late 2016.
As a former Franklin scholar, it was important for him to equip each and every student with the tools necessary to succeed, while also motivating them by sharing his story. As a person who has thrown several turkey drives, backpack drives, toy drives, and more, this backpack drive for his alma mater is the latest example of his commitment to his community and Vallejo youth. E-40 concluded, "It's good to be involved in your community. If you're in a position to help someone, I think you should do it. I'm playing my position." Along with E-40, this endeavor would not have been possible without the support of our amazing staff at Franklin Middle, our friends at Bridgeway Church, our Full Service Community School Site Collaborative Team, Mayor Osby Davis and staff, and our Franklin parents and families. We are truly thankful for the generosity and support of E-40 and wish everyone good luck in the new school year!

Illini Caravan makes stops at school, hospital.
For a few minutes, Jordyn Martin didn't think about recovering from the third operation on her heart in the first 10 years of life.
She had a pink football signed by Illinois football coach Ron Zook and some conversation with the Illini Tuesday at Children's Hospital of Illinois at OSF St. Francis Medical Center.
"Just to see a smile on her face after that long surgery, it's a big deal,'' said her father, Matt. "She cracked a couple smiles.''
The caravan took a different approach from past years, when the main draw was the meet-and-greet social hour. This spring, Illini coaches and athletes made stops at schools, corporations, hospitals, clinics and business associations.
According to the Martin family, of nearby Washington, the Illini left a mark on Peoria. In the process, Peoria made an impression on the Illini.
Zook, former Illini quarterback Juice Williams, volleyball outside hitter Jazmine Orozco and former swimmer CeCe Marizu toured the Peoria hospital during an afternoon visit. They saw patients fighting cancer, heart issues and complications from premature birth. They watched parents sitting helplessly, looking for hope.
Suddenly, losing a game didn't seem so important.
"It's hard for us,'' Marizu said, "but it moves us to make them smile for that moment. It makes us grateful we have an opportunity to compete in our sports.''
Earlier in the day, basketball guard D.J. Richardson, a Peoria native, joined the group for an assembly at Trewyn Middle School on the city's south side. The message was simple: stay in school, work hard and set big goals.
"If I had a chance to do it again, I'd take my school work more serious at a young age,'' said Richardson, who left Peoria Central High School for prep school in Las Vegas for his senior season. "Don't wait to the last minute to get on my books. Start at a young age. Grades will take you anywhere you want to go.
"I had a lot of fun at Findlay (College Prep). I know what it's like to experience a national championship, but I never to got to feel what (the state tournament) feels like.''Williams identified with the group of Trewyn eighth-graders.
"Growing up in Chicago, I had three different street gangs in my neighborhood,'' he said. "I associated with (gang members). I went to school with one, went to basketball with the other and played football with another.
"I saw the type of lifesytle they had, what it was going to lead for them. It made me say I don't want to be part of it. I played sports to stay busy and keep away from it. Going back to the neighborhood, I see the same guys that weren't going to class, not listening to the teacher. They're still asking for money, asking for opportunities to change the mistakes they've made.''
-- Basketball coach Bruce Weber, who made a quick trip to West Virginia two weeks ago to meet with Huntington Prep forward Ibrahima Djimde about his transcripts, also spent time with Devin Langford, the Huntsville (Ala.) wing guard who also signed with Illinois in the spring.
"(Langford) graduated last week,'' Weber said. "As soon as that happens, they send everything to the (NCAA eligibility) clearinghouse. Then you wait for the evaluation. I think he's going to make it. We just have to wait and see until they get everything OK'd.
"We were involved with him the whole time with the academic part. His parents didn't want him to sign early. They wanted him to stay motivated to make sure he gets it done.''
-- Weber saw athletic director Ron Guenther's retrirement coming.
"He took the window of opportunity hoping in the longshot maybe helping get a person he'd feel good about, an Illini person that maybe came up through the ranks or through the family,'' Weber said. "We'll have to wait and see what happens.''

Our big kids rode every roller coaster in 3 theme parks and have not stopped talking about and making lists of what their favorite rides were. We also took my mom on vacation with us, which was awesome. I just loved getting to spend so much time with her.
We spent two days at Magic Kingdom, and one day each at Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios and Sea World. Last night, I uploaded all of the pictures I took from our trip and realized that I took over 400 photos- I just couldn't help myself. I wanted to capture how much fun the kids were having. Everyone always said that Disney is magical- but I didn't realize just how incredible it would be until I experienced it for myself. Now I can't wait to go back!
I think we picked the right time of year to go- it wasn't too crowded and we never had to wait in line more than 20 minutes for anything. Our kids woke up this morning bouncing off the walls because they couldn't wait to go to school and talk about their trip during sharing time. I think I'm going to pretend that I'm at school and share with you!
We totally got photo bombed by that guy behind Sadie and Kamron on Splash Mountain!
I think I've now seen enough 3-D shows to last me a lifetime
Kamron looks like he's going to take that fist, turn sideways, and clock Mickey in the jaw.
I love my mom. Also, Lord, please let me age as well as my mother.
Dance party with Goofy
Apparently, fighting the evil emperor Zurg is very stressful for Noah
Sadie got to introduce The Little Mermaid show!
Meeting Lightning McQueen is the highlight of Miles' life.
He doesn't go anywhere without his little McQueen car.
Noah has a major map obsession.
It's hard work shutting down the park!

The Verizon Wireless Samsung Droid Charge is a pretty nice phone. It has a 4.3 inch Super AMOLED Plus display screen. I'm sure most of you are wondering what the heck that is. So I'm going to take a small segment here to tell you!
Super AMOLED Plus screen:
So what this is or what it stands for is "Super Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode". If you can say that 3 times fast you can have a bozo button! A few years ago the AMOLED screens came out this is the "Super" version which means the screen is brighter, has less reflection and reduced power consumption (that's a lot like having your cake and eating it to right?)
The Plus part (don't forget the plus!) is where the PenTile RGBG pixel matrix is replaced with a common RGB subpixel arrangement which lets it go from 8 to 12 subpixels in a group. What that means to you is… a finer looking pic with more detail. This also makes the screen tech brighter, thinner and 18% more energy efficient.
So why is this a big deal? Well it is basically Samsung's answer to Apple's Retina Display. It is nice, sharp, crystal clear, and side by side:
I can't tell a difference, but I don't know… maybe you can? To be honest I think the Samsung Charge has it by a nose.
So let's get down to brass tacks here, the specs:
- Operating System: Android 2.2 (Froyo)
- Interface: Samsung TouchWiz
- Network: 4G LTE
- Processor: 1GHz
- Display: 4.3-inch Super-AMOLED (800 x 480)
- Rear Camera: 8MP, HD Video Capture, LED Flash
- Front Camera: 1.3MP
- Memory: 2GB Internal
- Expandable Memory: 32GB MicroSD
- Text Input: Virtual QWERTY, Swype, Voice to Text
- Flash Support
- DLNA Support
- VCast Music with Rhapsody
- Mobile Hotspotting w/ up to 10 Devices
- Video on Demand (Media Hub, YouTube, VCast, BlockBuster)
- Video Calling
- VZ Navigator Capable
One bone I have to pick with Verizon Wireless. The operating systems. They just don't update them fast enough and so you really need to watch out when you are selecting a phone. To date, to the best of my knowledge (VZW's PR firm did not get back to me with an answer) there is no Official Gingerbread update for the Charge. Considering Gingerbread was available well before the launch of the Droid Charge this is unacceptable.
The only other problem is battery life, but with the Juice Defender app (available on the market and its free) you can extend your like 2x on average and did I mention it was free? When we first got the phone the battery lasted about 8 hours of regular use (checking emails, surfing the web, calling, texting, etc…) after about 2 months it goes down to about 6 hours and stays there. If you use Juice Defender you are looking at 16 hours when you first get it and after about 2 months you are looking at about 13.5 hours of real world use. Really not bad at all.
The Samsung Droid Charge is responsive, peppy, and it's kind of sexy looking. The Verizon Wireless 4G LTE is still screaming fast and MUCH faster than the AT&T, T-Mobile and SPRINT 4G solutions we have tested. To date the fastest benchmark we have is with a Verizon Wireless Revolution it got 17 Mbit down and 7 Mbit out. That's incredible, and frankly it's as fast as my Comcast Cable Connection!
All in all the Droid Charge gives a very satisfying experience. I'd give it a 3 out of 5 star ranking. (I have to subtract the two stars, 1 for No Gingerbread on Launch and the 2nd star for no Gingerbread to date). For those of you wondering the Verizon Wireless Samsung Charge was launched on May 14th, 2011. Android Gingerbread SDK was released December 6th, 2010.

Helicobacter Pylori
H. pylori (Helicobacter pylori, pronounced Hel-ee-koh-BAK-ter Pie-LORE-ee) is a type of bacteria that infects your stomach.
It can damage the tissue in your stomach and the first part of your small intestine (the duodenum). This can cause redness and soreness (inflammation). In some cases it can also cause painful sores called peptic ulcers in your upper digestive tract.
H. pylori is common. Many people have it. Most people who have it won't get ulcers or show any symptoms. But it is a main cause of ulcers.
H. pylori attacks the lining that protects your stomach. The bacteria makes an enzyme called urease. This enzyme makes your stomach acids less acidic (neutralizes them). This weakens your stomach's lining.
Your stomach cells then have greater risk of being hurt by acid and pepsin, strong digestive fluids. That can lead to sores or ulcers in your stomach or duodenum.
The H. pylori bacteria can also stick to stomach cells. Your stomach can't protect itself very well. The area gets red and swollen (inflamed).
H. pylori can also get the stomach to make more acid. Health experts don't fully understand how.
Health experts don't know for sure how H. pylori infection is spread. They believe the germs can be passed from person to person by mouth, such as by kissing.
It may also be passed by having contact with vomit or stool. This may happen if you:
- Eat food that was not cleaned or cooked in a safe way
- Drink water that is infected with the bacteria
You may be at greater risk for H. pylori infection because of:
- Your age. Over half the people in the U.S. with the bacteria are over 50 years old.
- Your race or ethnicity. Almost half of all African Americans have the bacteria. For people who come to the U.S. from developing countries, at least 50% of Latinos and 50% of people from Eastern Europe have H. pylori.
Most people first get the bacteria when they are children, but adults can get it too.
Most people have the bacteria for years without knowing it because they don't have any symptoms. Experts don't know why.
You may have redness and swelling (inflammation) in your stomach lining. This is called gastritis.
You may get sores or peptic ulcers in your stomach or the first part of your small intestine (duodenum). Ulcer symptoms may include belly or abdominal pain, which can:
- Be a dull pain that doesn't go away
- Happen 2 to 3 hours after you eat
- Come and go for several days or weeks
- Happen in the middle of the night when your stomach is empty
- Go away when you eat or take medicines that reduce your stomach acid level (antacids)
Other symptoms of an ulcer may include:
- Weight loss
- Not feeling hungry
- Swelling or bloating
- Burping
- Having an upset stomach or nausea
- Vomiting
The symptoms of ulcers may look like other health problems. Always see your healthcare provider to be sure.
Your healthcare provider will look at your past health and give you a physical exam. He or she may also use other tests, including:
- Blood tests. These check for infection-fighting cells (antibodies) that mean you have the bacteria.
- Stool culture. This looks for any abnormal bacteria in your digestive tract that may cause diarrhea and other problems. A small stool sample is collected and sent to a lab. In 2 or 3 days, the test will show if you have any abnormal bacteria.
- Breath tests. These can check if there is any carbon after you swallow a urea pill that has carbon molecules. If carbon is found that means that H. pylori has made the enzyme urease. This enzyme makes your stomach acids less acidic (neutralizes them). It weakens your stomach's mucous lining.
- Upper endoscopy, also called EGD (esophagogastroduodenoscopy). This test looks at the lining of your food pipe (esophagus), stomach, and duodenum (the first part of your small intestine). It uses a thin, lighted tube or endoscope. The tube has a camera at one end. The tube is put into your mouth and throat. Then it goes down into your esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. Your healthcare provider can see the inside of these organs. A small tissue sample (biopsy) is taken if needed. The tissue sample can show if you have the enzyme urease. It can also check the bacteria that is there.
Your healthcare provider will create a care plan for you based on:
- Your age, overall health, and past health
- How serious your case is
- How well you handle certain medicines, treatments, or therapies
- If your condition is expected to get worse
- What you would like to do
Your healthcare provider may have you take medicine that kills bacteria (antibiotics).
Other medicines may include:
- H2-blockers. These are used to reduce the amount of acid in your stomach by blocking the hormone histamine. Histamine helps to make acid.
- Proton pump inhibitors. These help to keep your stomach from making acid. They do this by stopping the stomach's acid pump from working.
- Stomach-lining protectors. These medicines protect your stomach lining from acid and help kill bacteria.
If you are infected with the bacteria you can get a painful sore called a peptic ulcer. These sores form in your upper digestive tract.
A very bad ulcer can wear away your stomach lining. It can also cause problems such as:
- Bleeding when a blood vessel is worn away
- A hole or perforation in your stomach wall
- Blockage when the ulcer is in a spot that blocks food from leaving your stomach
H. pylori can also lead to stomach cancer.
Health experts don't know for sure how the bacteria passes from person to person. But having good health habits (hygiene) can help keep you safe. These habits include:
- Washing your hands with soap and water. It is very important to do this after using the bathroom and before eating.
- Making sure all food you eat has been cleaned and cooked safely
- Making sure that your drinking water is safe and clean
- H. pylori is a type of bacteria that infects your stomach.
- It attacks your stomach and the first part of your small intestine (duodenum). This can cause redness and swelling (inflammation).
- Many people with the bacteria won't have any symptoms.
- It can cause open sores called peptic ulcers in your upper digestive tract.
- It can cause stomach cancer.
- It may be passed or spread from person to person by mouth, such as by kissing. It may also be passed by direct contact with vomit or stool.
- Having good health habits (hygiene) can help protect you.

At the end of August, Chris Hammes has an exhibition, Twenty-OneMotorcycles, at the Hills Esthetic Center. One of my favorite things about the show was probably the sound it created. I walked into a pitch black exhibition space and instantly zoned in on three different kinetic sculptures; flickering lights defined the bounds of each. In the first instance, I saw a stack of recognizable VHS tape player screens, recognizable only because of the disembodied digital numbers. The players themselves were subsumed in darkness and the numbers seemed to hang, like little electronic ghosts. To the right of the door, I saw a dizzy red,digital clock face spinning. And then, in the far corner, a spinning circle of colored light that looked almost like string. Each machine whirred, cranked and croaked in the darkness. It was white noise in darkness. Lights and sound in tandem created a mesmerizing effect. Every piece was engaged in its own, personal orbit, exhibiting a repeated, kinetic energy that was somehow calming rather than frenetic. It made the darkness full, as a house during the summer in the middle of the night. Fans I could not see, spun lights and pushed air. The various motions of these objects created a complex oral texture. In the following interview, I had a chance to ask how Hammes' came to create a dark exhibit, where his interest in hypnotism has come from, and why he's compelled by motorcycles.
Caroline Picard: What is it like to make work for the dark? How do you anticipate what you will see and what you are building (in the light, presumably)?
Chris Hammes: I didn't actually consider these works to be made for total darkness, it was a decision we made when the show was installed. I made the work in the light and had intended to have some low-wattage spot lights on the pieces, but when we looked at the works in the space we realized that each piece has a pretty bright luminescence, and viewing in darkness just made it more intense.
CP: I know you have an on-going interest in hypnosis where did that interest come from and how does it manifest in your practice?Â
CH: When I was in high school I picked up a book on self-hypnosis and experimented with it on my own, tape recording myself and then listening back. It was fun but I didn't see any use for it so I didn't really do anything with it. I studied sound at SAIC which lead to improvised electroacoustic performances, which lead to working as a producer and "talent" on a radio show called Blindspot, where I conquered some stage-fright and developed an interest in things like writing and performing for monologue and narrative. About four years ago I started experimenting with hypnosis again. I read a few books and realized this was a really fertile place to develop a collaborative practice that combined a lot of different disciplines that I wanted to explore. After some feeble first attempts, I was lucky enough to meet a professional hypnotist that took an interested in my work, and became somewhat of a mentor that examined my technique and gave me critical input to help me improve. I'm also lucky enough to know some very adventurous artists, so when I needed volunteers they weren't hard to find.
CP: When you hypnotize people, do you think of it as a kind of performance? What does that say about the artist i.e. artist-as-hypnotist?
CH: These sessions are a form of collaboration that often manifests as a performance, where the goal is to facilitate new experiences that can lead to the production of a narrative, sometimes music, an object or an image, while exploring the power-relationship between the collaborators. It involves seriously different roles on the parts of the collaborators, and can result in a power imbalance that's difficult to manage. And this power balance is something to battle against, follow or fall into unexpected places. In preparation I write scripts based on what we mutually want to accomplish in the session, but it's always an improvisation. For me as an artist, it's a tool for steering desires and perception towards an unusual creative place.
CP: I saw a connection between your work with hypnosis and the Harley Mandala. Can you talk a little bit about that?
CH: The Harley Mandala is one of two works in the show I've made using the Harley-Davidson logo, looking into the cultural significance of the Harley brand. Harley seems to possess a notion of freedom fused with rebellion that puts optimism in conflict with pessimism. Considering motorcycle culture symbolized by the Harley logo, I wanted to raise the logo to a spiritual place.
The Harley Mandala piece spins at about 1000 RPMs, which transforms the spinning Harley Davidson logo into concentric circles of light, similar in appearance to a circular mandala. This is one of two spinning pieces in the show composed of modified fans. Part of the motivation with these two kinetic pieces is to exploit the limitations of vision by spinning an object so fast that it masks the true shape and appears to be something else. Along with looking like a mandala, it also has that mesmerizing effect of the spiral use by hypnotists in movies. This mesmerism can happen when you know an object is different than what you're perceiving, which is similar to a perceptual shift that can happen with hypnosis. Maybe that's the connection.
CP: I also understand that, with the namesake sculpture, Twenty-One Motorcycles, you modified the interior of VHS machines, causing them to rattle and whir. VHS machines have such a curious presence — they're like these obsolete but very nostalgic machines. Somehow, by making them whirl especially loudly, you're connecting them to movement—specifically the open road, the motorcycle: can you talk more about that connection?
CH:Â I attached metal tines to the spinning player head that reads the magnetic tape in a way that allows the machine to still function, but sound as if it's broken. When I press play, the motor slowly starts up and gains momentum, sounding like a much larger motor. It occurred to me that this kind of noise-making is similar to the pretending that a child does when attaching a playing card to the spokes of a bicycle, transforming it into a motorcycle. This ability to transcend through pretending feeds back to the VCR as another formative presence in the youth of my generation. The sound is created by this circular movement, but unlike the other work in the show with visible motion, this is announced by a screeching mechanical drone. They're stacked up at a height of a little under 7ft because I wanted it to be the height of a really tall, intimidating human. These machines still work as well as they always have, but nobody wants them anymore. The drone sounds aggressive, like a scream.
CP: The last thing I wanted to ask, in some way I feel like my questions have been leading up to this, but I was interested in the place of Romanticism in your show. Calling forth the specter of Voltaire and connecting them to motorcycles in Candide-Voltaire Motorcycles (as though they had a specific shop somewhere and fixed up bikes) or too, with Enlightenment, where one can drink a shot out of a resin cast shape of Voltaire's head….how does Romanticism play into this? I can't help feeling like there are ideas about justice and liberty, also connected to the open road, and a sense of space and nature—all of which come together here in a very Romantic, and especially American, fantasy. Maybe a better way to ask this question is, what does Voltaire's motorcycle shop look like?
CH: I hadn't thought of a motorcycle shop run by a mechanic team of Candide and Voltaire, but I love the idea. I'm picturing modified pantaloon coveralls, maybe a mesh John Deere cap on top of Voltaire's powdered wig.
I'm not sure if it's Romanticism I'm interested in as much as a pairing of symbols of different cultural value. Candide is valued European literature while Harley is working-class America, and both can be Romantic for different reasons. I've made a number of works that reference Candide by Voltaire to signal a division between Optimism and Pessimism. The novel is famously pessimistic, but also a political satire against the theological optimism of the Enlightenment era. It describes youthful naivete in a chaotic and malevolent world. I'm pairing Candide-Voltaire with Harley-Davidson to represent a similar conflict between optimism and pessimism. Harley always reads as patriotic and American. It was one of a few companies supplying motorcycles to WWII, and the formation of motorcycle gangs comes in large part from the post-war alienation felt by veterans returning home. On the surface, there's an obsession with death imagery, black leather, skulls and flames. Underneath is a clear corporate marketing presence and commodities feeding these images. This logo can read as a celebration of fearlessness, a burn out before you fade away kind of freedom. But it can also invite fearfulness, playing into the dark-side of outlaw motorcycle clubs engaging in organized crime, drugs, violence, prostitution, human trafficking, ritual initiations, etc. We know the motion picture Easy Rider, and we know the Hells Angels at Altamont. With both symbols there's a spiritual aspect, and a separate blunt reality to contend with.

The Fit Expo celebrated ten years in Los Angeles by once again putting together two days of memorable events and a packed house of fitness enthusiasts who left wishing this event was longer than two days. The Fit Expo is always the perfect way to kick off the New Year and you can be sure that January 19 and 20 at the Los Angeles Convention Center caused a number of people to raise the New Year Resolutions to a whole new level.
Trying to pack everything in to the two day event could leave needing a break, the question was beginning Saturday morning where do you start? There is always a mad rush to get to the BodyBuilding.com booth to get some of the latest fitness product samples while also getting to meet plenty of fitness celebrities. Fitness royalty was everywhere and it would hard to find bigger names than Jay Cutler, Ronnie Coleman and Lou Ferrigno all under one roof. Mix in some of the strongest people in the world showing off just how strong they truly are along with the craze that is CrossFit at every age level and then almost any type of fitness class you could imagine to try out first hand. Let's not forget about learning the power of Chia and how you can make a simple and amazing dessert that is great for your body. There truly was more to do and see than two days allowed.
The Fit Expo is like Halloween for the fit, trick-or-treating from booth to booth, finding samples of old favorites as well as the latest releases. CytoSport was giving out samples of their performance Energy Drops as well as well as their new protein shake Evolve that is only 110 calories. VPX unleashed their new drink Bang 357, a combination of creatine, caffeine and BCAA. It wasn't just the name brands that were at the Fit Expo, but a number of great new lines were introduced.
While the FitExpo was filled with supplements, NEO Super Water was introducing everyone to the athletes most important need, water. In name and taste NEO is water, but there is certainly much more to it. NEO has three active benefits, alkaline, electrolytes and antioxidants. The benefits of NEO include; balancing you pH, electrolytes and oxygen allow you to hydrate faster, the antioxidants protect and revitalize cells, it boosts energy and health and it increases performance and speeds recovery. Next time you are reaching for a drink to take along with you on your workout, avoid all the additives and forget plain, give your workout a natural boost with NEO Super Water. For more information on NEO Super Water, visit: www.poweredbyneo.com
Island Boost is a great new product that is geared more towards the endurance athlete and it is the perfect fit for the cross-fit crowd that seemed to be dominating the Fit Expo floor over the weekend. Developed by Laura Mildon, Island Boost is a favorite among runners, cyclists, triathletes, fitness enthusiasts and boxers such as Manny Pacquio.

For more information on Island Boost, visit: www.islandboost.com
While the annual Fit Expo was filled with beautiful and fit female fitness models and workout gurus, most of the actual products are simply marketed to men. NLA Performance wanted to change that and they decided that the Fit Expo was the perfect spot to launch NLA For Her, their supplement line geared strictly to women. The product line includes SHRED HER, which has a number of great ingredients including ursolic acid, HER WHEY, which is a gluten free protein, HER Aminos and UPLIFT pre-workout formula and the line is put to use by IFBB pro figure athlete Jessie Hilgenberg.

Unlike the previous savoury recipe, this one's a cinch to make because the idea for this Sausage Meat Pasta came to me when we were on holiday (I can't remember where) and tired of eating out. Luckily, we had a small kitchenette,some kitchen supplies and essentials like olive oil, salt and pepper and a supermarket nearby. So, with as little ingredients and fuss-free as possible, this pasta comes together in under 30 minutes and probably goes down even faster. This quick spin on the traditional Bolognese pasta is sure to please everyone.
Though short on ingredients, the flavour is still somewhat good as sausage meats are already well-flavoured and browning the meat adds depth of flavour to the mat sauce. I chose to use meat sausages instead of minced meat as fresh sausages are more easily available than minced meat in Kiwi supermarkets. Any type of fresh sausages work for this dish but just choose ones that have a bit of fat in them and I do find that free-range sausages have much better flavour. The herbs enhance the rich and unctuous meat-tomato sauce and I like garnishing my pasta with a few thyme leaves to add a burst of freshness in each bite. You could use any fresh herbs you have at hand but try to copy the flavours of your sausage. Since I was using Spanish Chorizo I added about 1/2 teaspoonful of smoked paprika with the tomatoes for an extra kick. Sage, oregano or marjoram also work well. Of course, use fresh pasta if available in your supermarket but by all means you use any type of pasta that works well with thick meat sauces. The meat sauce freezes well so make a double batch and freeze in airtight containers for a quick, homemade weeknight meal. All you need to do is to just cook the pasta, reheat the sauce and hey presto, dinner is served!
The browned meat and chunky tomato sauce clings onto the pasta so well that every mouthful is pretty awesome, considering that you made this in 30 minutes! I've made this many times after that holiday meal when I've needed a comforting, quick meal after a gruelling workout or because its winter. Make this quick version of Bolognese pasta this weekend because, let's face it – who doesn't like a bowl of delicious pasta?
Sausage Meat Pasta
- 1 tbsp + 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 6 meat sausages ,about 400-500g ( I used Spanish Chorizo), removed from their casings
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (400g) of whole tomatoes in juice
- 1 cup of chicken/beef stock
- a few sprigs of fresh thyme
- 1 sprig of fresh rosemary
- 400g fresh pasta sheets, cut into inch wide strips or any dried pasta that holds meat sauces well (eg. pappardelle, penne, rigatoni etc.)
- salt and pepper, to taste
- extra virgin olive oil
- Parmigiano-Reggiano/Grana Padano/ Pecorino, finely grated
- In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat and add the sausage meat and with a ladle/wooden spoon, break up any chunks of meat. Cook till the meat turns brown.
- Transfer browned meat into a bowl/plate.
- In the same pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the diced onions with a pinch of salt and sauté till they become translucent.
- Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute or till the garlic starts to soften.
- Add stock and the whole can of tomatoes with its juices into the pan. Using your ladle/spoon, break the whole tomatoes into medium-large chunks. If you prefer a very smooth sauce, purée the tomatoes and juices with a handheld blender before adding to the pan.
- Loosen any brown bits clinging to the side of the pan. Add thyme and/or rosemary sprigs to sauce and simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes. Check for seasoning and add salt/pepper if required.
- Meanwhile, cook the freshly cut pasta/dried pasta in a large pot with salted water.
- When pasta is cooked but is still firm when bitten (al dente), return browned meat to pan with tomato sauce. Using a slotted spoon, drain pasta and add directly to pan with meat sauce. Add a few spoonfuls of cooked pasta sauce into tomato-meat sauce to loosen it. How much you add depends on how thick you like your meat sauce.
- Finely grate some cheese and toss pasta to evenly coat with meat sauce.
- Transfer to serving dish and top with more finely grated cheese , drizzle with some extra virgin olive oil and tear up some fresh thyme leaves and scatter on top.
- Enjoy with a glass of red wine. I like mine with a Pinot Noir. A bowl of side salad also helps. Cheers!
I'm bringing this dish to the Fiesta Friday Party #86 co-hosted by Judi and Quinn.

Nurses and midwives who completed their training outside Europe are to face new assessments of their eligibility to work in the UK. The Nursing and Midwifery Council said the registration system, to be introduced this autumn, would ensure that the hundreds of staff who trained overseas and wished to practise in the UK were assessed in a robust way, in order to protect the public.
Nearly 5,000 people who trained outside the European Economic Area have registered with the NMC over the last five years. The majority of nurses and midwives who trained overseas come from India, the Philippines or Australia.
Jackie Smith, the NMC chief executive and registrar, said: "This approach to overseas registration is an internationally recognised and rigorous way of ensuring that those applying for registration who trained overseas are able to practise safely and effectively in the UK.
"The new process further demonstrates our continued commitment to making sure public protection remains at the heart of the systems and processes we use to maintain the register and reputation of the nursing and midwifery professions.
"The new system will not replace the need for employers to ensure that the staff they recruit display the behaviours, skills and knowledge necessary for the specific role to which they are recruited, and provide further support and development as required."
At the heart of the new registration process will be a test of competence, which will consist of two parts – a multiple choice computer-based examination and a practical clinical examination. Janet Davies, executive director of nursing at the Royal College of Nursing, said: "Health care in the UK relies on the hard work and dedication of many nurses who trained overseas. It is essential that patients should have confidence that those who care for them have the right training to work here.
"These proposals may well form part of a more robust and consistent mechanism for ensuring that nurses who work in the UK are equipped to practise in the UK. However, we need to know more about how nurses will be evaluated as part of this system before we can judge whether or not the system is adequate.
"Improving the process by which nurses are registered is only part of what is needed, they must be supported and monitored when they are in clinical practice. It's important to note that no system will remove the need for employers to recruit people with the right skills, provide them with a proper induction and allow them access to continuing training and development.
"Whether nurses come from the EU or the rest of the world, it is vital that employers are recruiting them for the right reasons and supporting them when they get here. Too often, nurses are recruited from overseas to fill short term gaps and given inadequate support to care for patients well.
"Employers and the NMC must work together to complete a system which gives patients absolute confidence that the person caring for them is equipped to do so to a high standard."

Heartwarming Sweet Romance
Excellent story; lovely narration!
Donna Fasano is great at creating characters that seem real -- with the mixture of strengths and weaknesses that real people have. Best of all, she's at the top of the game in writing a sweet romance filled with emotion and characters who end up yearning for each other -- like Chelsea and Ben in this story. For comic relief, there's Ben's Aunt May.
Narrator Mary Lynn Bowen is skillful and brings this romance to life. She superb in voicing the different characters, but in Chelsea's voice, she really shines.
HIS WIFE FOR A WHILE has depth. You'll root for Chelsea. She learns, with the help of others, to overcome the tragedy of her own past, and that is what really helps her to embrace her future. She earns her happy ending.

This is a wonderful short and sweet romance
In another thoroughly enjoyable story from the pen of Donna Fasano, this audiobook version of His Wife for A While was the perfect afternoon listen: who can resist a sweet romance when the week gets too long?
Meet Chelsea: bookkeeper at the family orchard owned by Ben. With the recent death of his grandfather, Ben has some unusual conditions that he must meet to finalize the terms of the will, and save the orchard. Chelsea has overheard the discussions about this strange "condition" of the will: Ben must marry to keep his inheritance.
With narration provided with the perfect amount of emotional remove and insecurity while voicing Chelsea, and the hints of utter bewilderment featured in Ben's interactions with her, Mary Lynn Bowen manages to incorporate the character's emotions without overwhelming use of inflection or tone; providing an enhancement and not a distraction to the author's words.
Chelsea is a bit difficult to appreciate, until she allows herself to remember the difficult times, and be vulnerable: her standoffish manner is easily misinterpreted as cold and calculating, not a defensive mechanism. With the addition of the narration, Bowen manages to convey the turmoil that is hidden within Chelsea, her deep insecurities and her inability to believe in herself. Ben is trying very hard to understand and give her the understanding she needs, but even he is often stymied at what to do. His general affable character and honest appreciation of Chelsea, his appreciation of the family and orchard, and even his underlying good humor all come through in his characterization, and make his character even more perfect a fit for Chelsea.
What feels like it could easily translate into a rather calculated means to an end plan concocted by Chelsea is quickly turned upside down, as she learns to trust and grow confident in her own worth; especially when seen through Ben's eyes. This is a wonderful short and sweet romance that will leave you smiling.
I received an audiobook copy from the author for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.

So much potential, but I found that I just couldn't make it through it. It got so boring.
Not a buy or credit.
Narration was actually good though.

• Many countries worldwide experience a shortage of pharmacists and distribution imbalances within countries.
• There is a need for comprehensive pharmacy workforce development modelled on local needs and circumstances.
• To support growth in the establishment of pharmacy practice and its aspiration for increased patient focused care, workforce needs and other trends (increasing number of prescriptions, increasing trend of part-time work, etc) will need to be factored into workforce and pharmaceutical service development plans.
Reports of shortages of the health workforce had surfaced in the 1970s but it was not until the following decade, and in particular the publishing of The World Health Report in 2006 that health workforce issues gained sufficient momentum to merit widespread investigation and international action to bring about changes. This report was a major driving force for expansion of the international health workforce in order to meet the health related Millennium Development Goals.
Pharmacists represent the third largest healthcare professional group in the world after nurses and doctors. The Global Health Workforce Alliance was established to accelerate progress towards these goals by identifying and implementing solutions to the shortages.

With just over a week to go in what can safely be described as a contentious election, this is a good time to think about facts. Exactly how accurate are the claims of politicians and political advertising?
There are a number of good web sites to help answer this question. PolitiFact.com , sponsored by the St. Petersburg Times, provides a "Truth-o-meter" judging the degree to which a claim or ad is accurate. For another site, try FactCheck.org, a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center .
