Buying live worms?
Harrison22 posted a topic in Bait & TackleHi S&Hers, Was wondering if anyone knows where I can buy live worms of any type (beach, tube, tiger, nightcrawlers) to use as bait for land based fishing around SA? I would love to get my own fresh worms but I am rather time poor and would prefer to maximise my time fishing. Either larger store or private sellers are fine as I know there a few people that advertise live tiger worms on gumtree etc. (I have tried a couple of store by found they didnt last long and alot were dead already but i wont name names) Thanks in advance and keep fishing , H.

Spending wisely on infrastructureAuthor Alastair CurrieSource: IMIESA 43, pp 3 –3 (2018)More Less
The launch of the South Africa Infrastructure Fund (SAIF) forms part of the economic stimulus and recovery plan, announced recently by cabinet, with an emphasis on job creation and the revitalisation of a lagging economy. Some R400 billion has been set aside for the SAIF component and the approach being taken is to reprioritise projects, which includes temporarily parking underperforming programmes. That's a good thing. As we've seen from the South African Auditor General reports on municipal performance over the past three years, improved financial management and programme execution were two of the key areas highlighted as hampering service delivery.

Future guaranteedAuthor Mokgosi MokgosiSource: IMIESA 43, pp 17 –17 (2018)More Less
Public infrastructure is the bedrock of the economy and represents an enormous investment of our nation's collective wealth. It provides a platform for growth and prosperity, and supports the kind of environment in which we expect to live in the 21st century: safe, healthy and with opportunities to prosper. When it is well planned, implemented and maintained, we all benefit. Its management can, however, be complex, requiring blended solutions that draw on social, financial, economic, engineering, property, planning and many other skills. The right balance between people, processes and technology yields the greatest results.
The answer to infrastructure deliveryAuthor Danielle PettersonSource: IMIESA 43, pp 18 –19 (2018)More Less
The current procurement model in South Africa means contracts are typically awarded on a lowest-cost basis, where a firm of engineers is contracted to provide designs and administration, and the successful contractor is responsible to construct the required infrastructure project and remedy defects for a limited period of time.

Creating safer work zonesSource: IMIESA 43, pp 36 –36 (2018)More Less
A safe work zone may cost more money than an unsafe one, but, according to the World Bank, the social cost of a fatality on a road is roughly R6 million. Therefore, preventing one fatality in a work zone in South Africa can justify the cost of a lot of safety measures. The International Road Federation (IRF) is promoting safer work zones in South Africa using established best practices and state-of-the-ar t technologies. In line with this, Michael G Dreznes, executive vice president, IRF, is presenting a workshop at the 2018 SARF/IRF/PIARC Regional Conference for Africa.

Ensuring safer roads for allSource: IMIESA 43, pp 40 –42 (2018)More Less
Human factors are indicated as the biggest contributor to road crashes and fatalities in South Africa. And, at almost 39%, jaywalking pedestrians are said to be the largest human factor contributing to crashes and deaths. The number of pedestrian deaths as a result of road accidents continues to grow and pedestrians account for the largest road user group when it comes to fatalities. According to Garth Strong, owner, Deltabloc South Africa, one of the reasons so many pedestrians are killed is that the wrong systems are in place. "Protecting lives needs to be a priority," he says. "Your pedestrian may look protected, but how safe are they really?"

On up in my crib
I have been toiling over a chair for my closet for some time. I am a nervous Nellie when it comes to picking out furniture, because 1. Furniture is expensive and 2. I know I will be stuck with whatever I pick out for a long time. I wanted something chocolate brown and sleek--is sleek the right word? Maybe I mean plain. I wanted a plain, brown chair. Nothing fancy. This is the chair I chose. I wish it were a darker shade of brown, but overall I am pleased.
This is another jewelry tree I found at Pottery Barn. It is hard to tell what this one looks like because it is so bogged down with my tacky pink gumball necklace--but I love this jewelry tree. I think it can still be found at POTTERY BARN .
Today I will continue with Spring Cleaning and trying to spruce up my crib. It seems to be a never ending job. I have a bit of Spring Fever, and I think I am just ready to move.
Lovely day to all!

ACROSS MISSISSIPPI — Fewer Mississippi districts are labeled failing. More are labeled successful or better.
That is a three-year trend, reflected in unofficial data released yesterday by the state Department of Education. The Clarion-Ledger reports the labels for all of the state's schools and districts will become official Friday pending a vote by the state Board of Education.
In 2009, 61 districts were labeled successful or better. That number rose to 78 in 2010. Now, 82 districts are successful, high performing or stars, based on student performance on state standardized tests. For high schools, the labels also factor in graduation rates and the number of students who completed high school in other ways.
… we'd like to ask for your support. More people are reading the Mississippi Business Journal than ever before, but advertising revenues for all conventional media are falling fast. Unlike many, we do not use a pay wall, because we want to continue providing Mississippi's most comprehensive business news each and every day. But that takes time, money and hard work. We do it because it is important to us … and equally important to you, if you value the flow of trustworthy news and information which have always kept America strong and free for more than 200 years.

The Fénix capsules were designed by the Chilean Navy, in collaboration with the United States space agency NASA. They have a diameter of 54 centimetres (21 in), and have eight wheels located on the top and the bottom, with a damping system for mobility in the pipeline. The Fénix capsules have a harness to hold the occupant, an oxygen supply, and a microphone with speakers, which were used to connect the miners with the rescuers at the surface during the rescue.
Officially, three prototypes of the capsule were created. The Fénix 1 had a larger diameter than the other two capsules and was used in tests in the shaft created by the T-130 drill, where it descended to a depth of 610 metres (2,000 ft).[2] Fénix 2 was operated with an Austrian pulley system and was used throughout the rescue of the miners. Fénix 3 was held in reserve and not used. 2010 Copiapó mining accident.
The Voyager 2 spacecraft is a 722-kilogram (1,592 lb) space probe launched by NASA on August 20, 1977 to study the outer Solar System and eventually interstellar space. Operating for 34 years, 8 months and 5 days as of today (25 April 2012), the spacecraft receives routine commands and transmits data back to the Deep Space Network.
Part of the Voyager program with its identical sister craft Voyager 1, the spacecraft is currently in extended mission, tasked with locating and studying the boundaries of the Solar System, including the Kuiper belt, the heliosphere and interstellar space. The primary mission ended December 31, 1989 after encountering the Jovian system in 1979, Saturnian system in 1980, Uranian system in 1986, and the Neptunian system in 1989. It was the first probe to provide detailed images of the outer gas giants.
Each Voyager space probe carries a gold-plated audio-visual disc in the event that either spacecraft is ever found by intelligent life-forms from other planetary systems. The discs carry photos of the Earth and its lifeforms, a range of scientific information, spoken greetings from the people (e.g. the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the President of the United States, and the children of the Planet Earth) and a medley, "Sounds of Earth", that includes the sounds of whales, a baby crying, waves breaking on a shore, and a variety of music.
The Voyager spacecraft are not heading towards any particular star, but Voyager 1 will be within 1.6 light years of the star AC+79 3888 in the Ophiuchus constellation in about 40,000 years.[1]
As the probes are extremely small compared to the vastness of interstellar space, the probability of a space-faring civilization encountering them is very small, especially since the probes will eventually stop emitting any kind of electromagnetic radiation. If they are ever found by an alien species, it will most likely be far in the future as the nearest star on Voyager 1's trajectory will only be reached in 40,000 years.
Carl Sagan noted that "The spacecraft will be encountered and the record played only if there are advanced space-faring civilizations in interstellar space. But the launching of this 'bottle' into the cosmic 'ocean' says something very hopeful about life on this planet."[2] Thus the record is best seen as a time capsule or a symbolic statement rather than a serious attempt to communicate with extraterrestrial life.

for the Radishes and Christina
The old house next to the Wild and Radish farm has been boarded up for decades, and sat sad by the side of the main road until we bought it up this year. Right now it is down to rubble and the old wood framing as we demolish the house layer by layer to make a start on its next incarnation. Our idea is to demonstrate how an old worn-out building can be retrofitted with inventive technologies that support renewable systems and natural materials – and to make it beautiful. The whole process is being documented to demonstrate how this can be done, and the design plans will be made available to the public for the asking.
Bang! Bang! Out go rotting floorboards and crumbling plasters. Single-paned windows and gas wall heaters get tossed onto scrap heaps out in front, along with rusted pipes and filthy insulation. Our faces are masked against great clouds of ancient dust as we tear away at structures that no longer make sense, to replace them with new/older technologies that take into consideration what the environment gives us freely. At this point the house is nothing but a big mess, but it is very exciting to see light pouring through gaping window frames and the space opening up from small, dark cubbies into several gracious rooms.
We are a merry and innovative crew, rather pleased with ourselves as we hatch plans to insulate the house with an outside wrap of mud-plastered straw bales, and plumb pipes to take graywater out into the garden, while capturing the energy of sunlight on the roof and turning our food scraps into compost.
Taking on a green urban retrofit is something I've dreamed of doing for years, ever since riding the train from Vermont to New Jersey one summer and rumbling through one abandoned inner-city after another, seeing boarded-up tenements covered in graffiti and homeless people in makeshift tents on the refuse-strewn streets.
The memory still gives me a stomach ache and I feel relief that I can finally, with the amazing folks at Wild and Radish, start demonstrating that it doesn't have to be that way.
It reminds me of a conversation I had long ago with an older woman friend when I was young and pregnant, about the pains of childbirth. I couldn't quite imagine how a baby could emerge from such a small opening! Ruth smiled her warm, knowing smile, touched my arm lightly and told me it would hurt like hell, but would be worth it in the end.
"The minute you hold him in your arms, you'll forget all about the pain," she told me. "Anyhow, the best things in life are always making some kind of a mess, right? Like sex or eating lobster – same with childbirth. But we're built for it."
Years later when she lay dying from cancer and I went over to say good-bye, she gave me her wan, knowing smile. "It's OK to be dying," she whispered. "Life's over, but what a chance to see what comes next…"
She held my hand while I cried.
I thought of her at the farm the other day, showing the sheep and goats to two little girls and their Mom. The small herd came to greet us beh.. beh beh.. and we followed them, finding the old Grandmother sheep lying on her side by the fence, dead. We must have gotten there shortly after her death because the younger sheep still surrounded her, nudging and staring, slowly going back to browsing on the hillside with our arrival and gazing over at us periodically. Meanwhile, just across the way the demolition crew were banging and sawing away on the house unawares, tossing out the old to make way for the new.
Grandma-sheep Cocoa, in her life, had given us three daughters, milk for cheese and masses of springy dark wool for spinning, but now her time had come and we had to say goodbye.
It's the law of the world.
It seems everything is designed to do that: to cycle back into the elements after our allotted time on earth. There is birth, there is life, there is dissolution and there is death. This happens not only to plants and animals and humans, but also to houses, to cities, to civilizations, to planets…It could happen to us on Earth and probably will, sooner or later.
I've been contemplating this possibility as I age, and have been slowing down into my own dissolution phase, spending more time alone and in quiet. My thoughts want to deepen, my wonderments to open up, spanning longer tracts of our history and possible worlds beyond our star system. I read mythologies of the Maya, the Egyptians, the Hopi, comparing their parallel stories of great floods – more than just one! – and of their people's original homelands before the floods, places long since sunk out of sight and mind.
We may have been around on this planet way longer than we thought!
I read about earth changes that wiped out whole advanced civilizations in eras long before this one, of human skeletons unearthed with elongated heads and giant limbs – like us, but not like us; of lost technologies and ancient life-forms fossilized in oceanic mud; of seashell fossils high in the Himalayas and of unheard-of cities buried in the mid-ocean deeps.
Impossible! we might say, but who knows what impossible possibilities might actually exist?
I've experienced my share of these – though often unwilling to even mention them or be thought a fool – like the time Herb and I were in Chaco Canyon in mid-winter, and went invisible to one another in the ruins of Mesa Alta for two totally terrifying hours; or like arriving in Wiltshire to visit a friend when a crop circle pictogram, the length of several football fields, appeared overnight at a neighboring farm; or like the time I got messages from megalithic stones one day on the Brittany coast of France.
The stones 'spoke' to me that day on the hill above Carnac where I sat atop the Kercado dolmen in quiet contemplation. I had been on the Morbihan coast amongst the giant megaliths for some weeks and was saying farewell to my favorite places before taking off for home.
"I'll be back," I whispered – and then a voice in my head said,
"No! Your work is not here! Go back to America – why else do you think you were born there?" The "voice" was adamant and certainly sounded a bit fed up with me. I sat up straighter.
"Here is what your job is: to write very short stories that pack a punch, using your ordinary life as metaphors for the hard realities of life in the world. Tell your stories lightly and with humor, and keep them brief enough to read over a cup of coffee. Make people laugh, assure them that together you can all make it through. Then send your pieces out to the world, and do it frequently. Now, go home and do your job!"
Weird? Well, for sure.
But I took the stones seriously and went on home to start writing these miniature pieces.
I hope that they help…

Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope sustained a potentially serious shoulder injury in the Europa League draw at Aberdeen.
Pope, making his first appearance since returning from England's World Cup campaign, was taken to hospital following the 12th minute collision, which resulted in Anders Lindegaard making his Clarets debut.
And manager Sean Dyche was not confident of good news once a diagnosis is confirmed.
The Clarets boss said: "We are waiting to find out more news. Nick has gone to hospital with an injury to his shoulder and it certainly looks more serious than not serious at this stage, so we are really disappointed in that.
"It was a bit of a needless challenge when Nick looked like he was just going to catch it, and then (after the ball lands) I think it's the second challenge.
"When he responds to stop the ball going in I think the lad has caught his arm and knocked it back, so we'll just have to wait and see."
The injury leaves the Clarets with only two fit goalkeepers in LIndegaard and Adam Legzdins ahead of Sunday's Turf Moor friendly with Montpellier, with Tom Heaton currently sidelined with a minor calf injury.

Tips and advice on starting a blog.
It may look really clever from where you're sitting but if I can do it then anyone can – I promise.
So has the thought been in your mind? Would you like to join in with the fun and community sense found in the blogosphere? People talk about ANYTHING, my blog is principally family, women and life through my eyes but there are blogs on just about any topic imaginable; cookery, gardening, fashion, animals, tips on blogging! You name it someone is blogging it.
I am no way an expert (yet) but I am doing something I enjoy and creating an online diary for my kids, or for me to look back and read one day AND I'm meeting so many new people. Here's a few steps taken from Yours Truely's experience starting back in January
- Choose a host blogging site, I chose WordPress on Jean's advice but you can go to Blogger.com another favourite or Google the word Blog and widen your choice. These sites are mostly free of charge until you wish to upgrade but that's way down the line.
- Choose a name that reflects what you'll be writing about. Mari's World encompasses everything happening in my life. Here are a few other names that have caught my eye whilst cruising through the blogosphere Notes from Lapland, Typecast, A Mid Atlantic English, If I could Escape, The Blog up North, It's a small world after all, and many many more that can be found on my Blogroll on the right hand side of this blog. Which incidentally needs updating big time.
- Register, build a profile (all easy steps to follow), choose a template – which can be changed later on should you wish and you're ready to start!
- Join a forum to meet likewise bloggers and discover who's writing what out there. I joined British Mummy Bloggers who now have over 1700 members.
- I found Erica at Littlemummy.com and I enrolled in her Blogger E course which is a clearly written once weekly email full of advice and tips on blogging. You can also buy her e book and get the whole lot on your PC in one go if you feel like it, to speed up the process.
- If you're stuck for thoughts one day there are plenty of initiatives out there to join in. As you have seen I take part in Tara's The Gallery, Josie's Writing Workshop, Jenny Matlock's Alphabe Thursday and if I'm really stuck for time I head over to Plinky for some inspiration.
Write away! You don't have to be a writer but you must have something to say, this lady is really funny for example and some people become so well known they start to make money from their blog – this hasn't happened to me just yet but I'm working on it 😉
You may be asked to review products. I was. Playskool got in touch with me via their PR team a lady contacted me and said a toy was in the post for us to review, it never arrived and even though I have contacted her a few times, she has never got back to me. I don't know what happened, I collared my new postie and tortured him on the doorstep but he promised he had never received anything, Kim on the other hand says it was – who to believe? Maybe this is a warning that not everyone out there is kosher?
Have fun, write and enjoy learning new skills that one day may come in handy and when you do set your blog up, be sure to come by and let me know so I can add you to my blogroll!
See you soon, I hope 🙂
19/10/2010 9:41 pm
Hi Marianne – great tips! Although I think I've been blogging about the same time as you I learnt a few things there so thank you !
24/10/2010 7:52 pm

>Rudd government to lower Australian living standards
>Gerard Brookes has been knocking it out of the park lately in his critique of the reckless spending of both the Australian and US governments.
The only outcome can be reduced living standards into the future.
There is no other outcome possible.
In an effort to avert the nonexistent danger of another Great Depression the Labor Government has decided to spend like a squad of drunken Obama's. The real increase in government spending for this financial year and the next will be in the region of 18 per cent, with outlays running at about 29 per cent of GDP for this year. This lot is beginning to make the feckless Whitlam and Cairns — the latter being Whitlam's cretinous Treasurer — look like a pair of pikers.
Unlike some commentators I haven't bothered to wade through that monstrosity called the budget because most of it doesn't matter. For example, revenue and growth figures are utterly worthless. You would be better off reading tea leaves. One thing and one thing only matters here: sound economic principles. In this respect the budget — like the great majority of budgets everywhere — is a disgrace, just like most of our economic commentary.
It is being argued that this spending is basic Keynesian counter-cyclical fiscal policy and is necessary to keep unemployment below the 10 per cent level. For Swan this is a sacred duty and one that extends to eliminating long-term unemployment. As part of this duty he and Rudd plan to ruthlessly raid Australians' superannuation funds in an effort to offset part of their $58 billion deficit. This is what they call responsible fiscal management. The rest of us call it stealing. Not only does this proposed act of grand larceny reveal an absence of anything resembling ethics it also exposes their total economic illiteracy.
Allow me to return to my basic premise that what really matters are sound economic principles. For starters, the financial crisis is not a crisis of capitalism but of dangerous economic fallacies that central banks have been indulging in and which their staff learnt from their economics lecturers, not all of whom were Keynesians. These banks caused the world's money supply to explode by massively expanding credit. Much of this credit eventually turned up as "idle deposits" which were then immediately labelled by central bankers, treasury official and the usual band of useless economic commentators as "surplus saving".
It would have been obvious anyone actually versed in monetary economics and the history of economic thought that these so-called surplus savings were — like "excess investment" — a symptom of inflation. Let me put it this way, when savings exceed investment it is inflation. And that is exactly what we got on global scale.
Irrespective of what our economic pundits say Australia was fully embroiled in this world-wide lunacy. For example, from March 1996 — when Howard was elected — to last October currency rose by 129 per cent, bank deposits by 201 per cent and M1 by 185 per cent. It was this reckless monetary expansion that fuelled the boom and the government's surplus, not decent economic management. Booms, which are never good things, always come to an end. This brings us back to sound economic thinking.
Every boom creates distortions. When the boom busts these extortions are revealed as idle capital and rising unemployment. Moreover, before the bust makes itself fully felt it first emerges in manufacturing. I spent ages pointing out that Australian manufacturing was contracting and that this was evidence that the boom was coming to an end which meant that it was only a matter of time before the rest of the economy was hit and the rate of unemployment rose. The likes of Terry McCrann disagreed, writing nonsense about a "dual economy". Well, I was right and they were wrong. (And yes, I am one of those people who will tell you "I told you so").
The first thing to note is that there is nothing Keynesian about Rudd's spending binge. Nor can it halt a real rise in unemployment. This is not what Keynes was about. When Keynes spoke of deficits and borrowing he didn't mean that the government should borrow a pound from Fred the butcher to put Bill the bricklayer to work. This would be nothing but a transfer of purchasing power from one person to another via the government.
The essence of Keynesianism is that the central bank should expand the money supply. Even our economic pundits should be able to see that running down the surplus adds nothing to the quantity of money. Moreover, any stimulatory effects will be very short-lived. Unfortunately our economic Solons cannot even work that one out. Government borrowing for the sake of keeping people off the dole is self-destructive. It increases the national debt without providing a genuine net return to the country.
In a free market the emergence of a large pool of unemployed after a bust is always a temporary phenomenon so long as governments allow labour markets to clear. (This is a fundamental economic fact that Australia's so-called free market economists failed miserably to convey to both the public and to politicians, partly because the don't understand it themselves). Nevertheless, the government insists on running up a massive deficit which is bound to eventually raise interest rates and crowd out genuine productivity-raising investment.
In a pathetic and thoroughly immoral attempt to lessen the impact of their own profligacy Rudd and Swan are targeting pension funds. Now pension funds are savings. Without savings capital accumulation is not possible. It therefore follows that taxing these funds amounts to taxing future living standards. The same goes for venture capital and capital gains. Once again, it is entrepreneurship that drives an economy and savings that fuel it, not politicians and bureaucrats.
Ultimately the government will have to turn to the Reserve to pump up the money supply to increase what Keynesians call demand and what real economists call inflation. But using inflation to escape a recession is like trying to cure a drug addict by pumping him full of cocaine. The sad truth is that no one in our think tanks, the Reserve or the Treasury have any genuine understanding of the dangerous economic forces that are now at work. And this is why they keep getting it wrong. No wonder they are afraid of an open debate.
Economic blatherers on the left are blathering on like professional blatherers about how saving jobs has to be the government's top priority.
It's drivel, of course, because they're the wrong jobs and need to be washed out of the system.
That's what a recession does.
Australia has much more pain to come directly because of the policies of this government, the worst in Australia's history.
The US is going to be stuffed for more than a decade as a result of what Mr Obama as done…

>The Left has no idea where money comes from. They assume that profits are always evil and have been magically stolen in a sort Tolkeinsian view of the world. They don't understand the relationship between profits and job creation. They assume that the government will always be wise and fair with the dispersal of common goods. I guess they aren't teaching the perils of communism anymore. Soon they won't be able to teach anything else.

>You do understand what Keynesian economics is right? You seem to have blithely stepped over the idea that the financial crisis was caused by a total lack of regulation. So, do we continue to deregulate for fear of being 'commies' and allow the whole thing to happen again alá the 1930's? If you check your history you'll find it was Keynesian Re-constructionist policy that pulled Australia back from the brink of major depression after World War 2. It's thanks to Keynesian influence on both Liberal and Conservative government in Australia after the War that we have universal health care and a sustainable social security safety net in Australia. Boy, those crazy commie Keynesians… good thing they didn't get that far in the U.S., but I think that was because the U.S. had made huge amounts of money selling supplies to the Axis and Allied powers early in the war and wanted to maintain their isolationist trade surplus.

Jack + (Jill - L) - Jack + Sander = Jil Sander
My favorite Spring 2009 collection was Jil Sander. I want it all!
And I'm pretty good at math, huh?

excellent math, and gorgeous collection!

You just made my head hurt really badly from reading the title. LOL. Especially since I have been "crunching numbers" for my Psychology stat lab. =/
I liked Jil Sanders. Not my favorite though... I haven't figured out my favorite yet. But, I'm leaning towards Charles Anastaase. I wish it was someone else though -- that collection isn't very practical.

It was such a lovely (and wearable) collection.
Of course, *where* you would wear it to is another question all together...Wow, I wish I was old enough to not be thought of as odd for suggesting a cocktail party. It might help if I could actually *have* cocktails as well... ;)

Sen. David Perdue: Welcome to the 2018 International Convention for a Free Iran
Sen. David Perdue, Georgia Republican:
Welcome to the 2018 International Convention for a Free Iran. You represent Iranian American communities across the entire country.
For years, you have worked to expose the Iranian regime's systemic human rights violations. This year, Iranians have taken to the streets to protest their government on several occasions, including this week. Even as the regime tries to stifle their voices, you have relentlessly supported freedom for the people of Iran.
The Iranian American community of Georgia has been a major part of that effort. Your commitment, hard work and support of this cause have not gone unnoticed.
My message to you today is simply I hear you and I appreciate so much all your efforts. Having served in the United States Foreign Relations Committee and now in the Armed Services Committee, I am committed to doing all I can to advance and defend basic freedoms in human rights for Iranians and others around the world. You have been a crucial part of this effort, and I know you will continue to be in the future. Again, thank you for all you do.

For those of us who are less than fluent in the language of wine (tannins? bouquet?), many of today's websites dedicated to recommending wine are a little overwhelming. Jane Pour is dedicated to helping you find that special wine that makes you want to fill your glass to the brim – that's the way Jane pours! They accomplish this goal in several ways. First, there is an expansive online store where you can read about different bottles in informal reviews for any budget. Second, you can sign up for one of three clubs: tasting pour, full pour, or Jane pour. Members of each of these clubs receive a shipment of wine each quarter to their doorsteps. If you like what you get, keep track of that in your online journal provided by the website! There's also a blog called Collin's Corner of suggestions for wines to try for different occasions, like barbecues and winter whites, as well as inaugurating readers into the world of wine in a not-intimidating way. All in all, Jane Pour is a one-stop-shop for the wine connoisseur inside all of us.

Guest Post: Natural Back To School Makeup
Hey Everyone,
A couple of weeks ago during a Bloggers Chat on twitter I noticed Nadine was looking to guest post on a blog. I jumped at the chance for her to blog for me. Nadine's blog Rosy Blossom is brilliant and she's so lovely, so I would definitely recommend heading over to check it out!
Thanks Nadine,
Hannah! :) x
Guest Post:
Hi Everyone!
Its Nadine here from Rosy Blossom. I am so happy that Hannah let me do a guest post here on her lovely blog and I am super excited to be writing this because it is my first ever guest post! I really love the idea that we came up with for this post and I hope that all of her lovely readers will too :-)
As I sure you all know, summer has well and truly ended and September has approached very quickly and although the English summer isn't always the best, I have enjoyed my summer holidays nonetheless. With only a few days left until I have to back to school for one the most important years in my school life, I have found myself spending a lot of time this week shopping for school uniform and stationary and other necessary equipment and of course no shopping trip is complete with popping into Boots to pick up a few more things for my makeup bag :-) If your school is like mine then you probably won't actually be allowed to wear makeup to school but what makeup loving teenage girl is going to be caught not wearing any makeup?! Hardly any is my guess, but since I also don't like getting in trouble I have spent a lot of time creating the perfect natural, no-makeup makeup look that not only let's me feel comfortable while at school, but is very affordable for people on a pocket money budget.
To create the look, start with the Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer to cover up any dark circles and blemishes. You don't want to be wearing any heavy foundations to school because it will just feel uncomfortable and you probably don't need it any way. I love this concealer because it really does conceal everything that you want to conceal and it will stay put all day long so you don't have to worry about reapplying throughout the day. If you really can't go without a foundation then I recommend using the Maybelline Fit Me liquid foundation because it has a sheer/medium coverage and looks and feels very natural on your skin.
The next step is to powder using the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder. You can go for a coloured powder or you can just stick to translucent if you want. I like to use the shade Sandstorm if I am not wearing any foundation underneath because it adds a bit of colour to my face. This is honestly the best powder that I have ever used and it is great of you have quite oily skin like me because it minimizes pores and lasts for ages.
After you have powdered the next thing you want to do is add blush. I like to use the Barry M blusher in Rose. This is a very natural pinky colour and it looks great with my skin tone. It is very important not to overdo it though and you should remember to leave a two finger gap between your nose and where you start your blush to ensure a natural look.
Now you have finished with the face it is time to move onto the eyes. I don't really have a favourite mascara but the one I've been using a lot recently is the Collection No Clumps mascara. This mascara is great for school because it separates the lashes and gives a lot of volume without clumping or looking spidery. If you think you can get away with wearing eyeliner, you can use the Rimmel London Soft kohl eyeliner to do a thin line on your lid to make your lashes look thicker and fuller. I would avoid doing the waterline because it won't look natural and you will probably get caught. I would also use a brow comb to brush through your brows to make them look neat and tidy.
To finish off the look, I usually just stick to some Vaseline or if I want some colour I will use a tinted lip balm. I have been loving the Maybelline Baby Lips recently and you can use any colour you want. And that is the finished look! It is very natural and very pleasant to wear during a long day at school. All these products are priced under £5 which makes it a very affordable look and suitable to for all ages.
I hope you enjoyed this back to school post and I want to thank Hannah again for letting me post on her blog. Let me know what products you use in your school makeup looks. I hope you have a great week and I will talk to you soon!

The Victorian government has unveiled the final designs for the five new underground stations being built as part of the Melbourne Metro Tunnel project, designed by Hassell, Weston Williamson and Partners and Rogers Stirk Harbour and Partners.
The project will comprise twin nine-kilometre-long tunnels through the centre of Melbourne that will link the Cranbourne/Pakenham line in Melbourne's south east to the Sunbury line in the north west.
The stations are all designed to maximize public space and natural light, with each design drawing on the architectural character of the local area.
"Passenger experience has been at the heart of our design," said the design team in a joint statement. "The stations open up to fresh air and natural light and the underground spaces have a generous civic quality that will feel safe and intuitive to use.
"But this project isn't just about adding new stations, it actually creates five extraordinary new public buildings and transformative public places for Melbourne. Together these new places will add a brand new layer to Melbourne, amplifying and connecting to what makes our city one of the world's most liveable."
The North Melbourne station will feature a large-scale brick arched entrance and its materiality will reflect the industrial heritage through clay bricks, bluestone, timber and glass. The station will be located near the flood-prone Moonee Ponds Creek and hence the station will be raised 1.5 metres above ground level.
At Parkville, a 50-metre-long glass and steel canopy will mark the Grattan Street entrance, sitting within the street's existing tree canopy. The platforms and concourse will also have access to natural light through light wells.
The State Library and Town Hall stations will include dramatic vaulted arched ceilings. The State Library station will have three entrances: a main entrance on the corner of Swanston Street and La Trobe streets, at Franklin Street outside the Melbourne city Baths, and at Melbourne Central Station to connect passengers to the City Loop.
The Town Hall station will have seven entrances at City Square, Federation Square, the Degraves Street subway, Flinders Street, Swanston Street, Cocker Alley and Scott Alley.
Finally, Anzac station has been conceived as a "pavilion in the park" which will connect the station surrounding parklands. It will feature a timber canopy above the entrance, which will also be connected to the underground concourse. The neighbouring Albert Road Reserve will be expanded and a pedestrian underpass will connect it to the Shine of Remembrance and Royal Botanic Gardens opposite.
The Metro Tunnel project will also deliver new parks and open spaces, bicycle facilities and community plazas around each station.
Victoria's public transport minister Jacinta Allan said, "The Metro Tunnel will deliver five new architectural landmarks for Melbourne and the turn-up-and-go train system our city needs."
Sally Capp, the newly elected lord mayor of Melbourne said, "These stations will be bold and exciting additions to the Melbourne landscape, enhancing the experience of the city's commuters."

China's Terracotta Warriors
The First Emperor's Legacy
Like most of China's amazing archaeological discoveries, the terracotta army was found by accident. It came to light in 1974 when local farmers were drilling a well. Since then, remarkable discoveries at the First Emperor's burial site have been ongoing, revealing the wealth of China's ancient past.
With contributions from leading scholars, China's Terracotta Warriors presents a panoramic view of the artistic, military, and administrative achievements of the Qin state and empire under the powerful ruler who proclaimed himself First Emperor of China. In addition to presenting findings from his tomb complex, it examines the period preceding his reign (246–210 BCE) and his establishment of the Qin empire and dynasty in 221 BCE.
The Qin state had been in existence for over half a millennium before the First Emperor came to the throne, and its rulers had played their parts in the evolution of a small state into a superpower. Only in recent years has that history been revealed through a series of remarkable and often accidental discoveries of tombs and burials of early Qin royals and aristocracy. In the absence of substantive and eliable written sources, it is this archaeological evidence which provides clues to Qin's rise from state to empire.
China's Terracotta Warriors is published to accompany exhibitions at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts and the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco.
Liu Yang is curator of Chinese art at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts.

Or perhaps, "inaction" best describes it.
Sure, I make a point of recycling, even though my condo complex doesn't have recycling bins.
And I try to make sensible choices in my use of water, energy, paper and gasoline, even if I rarely go out of my way to do so.
But certainly, I am far from an environment activist or scientist, and won't pretend to offer any knowledge, insight or even chagrin about global warming, climate change and related subjects that doesn't come from cursory internet perusal of what others--presumably inordinately more informed, but who can be certain?--have written on these subjects.
|Temperature reading from Jan. 27, 2014
in the Chicago area
All I will say with complete personal conviction is that there appears to be enough evidence--candidly, much of it too dense for me to readily grasp--about global warming, greenhouse gases, diminishing Arctic sea ice and more, to suggest that calamitous effects could be possible within the lifetimes of those alive today.
I am not predicting anything. I am not looking to debate anyone. And I believe skeptics are actually beneficial.
But I think it behooves us all to pay attention.
And to give those who have devoted their lives to studying these dense topics at least some credence, credit and a forum more worthy than {pick your favorite superficial and vapid quasi-celebrity to disdain here}.
Although I often identify with the stated--but not always proven--positions of the "Left," "Liberals" and "Democrats," I prefer not to label myself any of the above. And while there are certainly opinions offered by the proverbial "other side" that I find noxious, I even more so abhor the polarized categorizing of individuals as though we are simply a nation of Red and Blue rock'em, sock'em robots.
There is nothing wrong with disagreement--short of the kind that promotes acute bigotry and intolerance--and I feel we should have more respectful discussion and debate, whether in Congress or on Facebook. And often, we should be as critical about those on our "own side" as on the opposite.
I say this here because what has caught my attention lately concerning climate change--other than the seeming contradiction (but likely causal relationship) between global warming and the preponderance of bone-chilling temperatures, which I'll get to shortly--have been two articles by Rolling Stone which have been rather condemning of President Obama, or at least what has happened under his watch.
|Illustration for Rolling Stone by Victor Juhasz; no infringement intended
I have long been a subscriber for the music features and record reviews, and--even if I've agreed with much of it--I have often found their overt political slant a bit much. (The inherent castigation of the Obama administration for doing virtually nothing to stem Wall St. chicanery, found in the terrific financial reporting of Matt Taibbi, notwithstanding.)
Both of the recent Rolling Stone pieces to which I refer were authored by Tim Dickinson. One, from which I culled the statistics in the graphic at top, is titled 27 Shocking Numbers That Reveal the True State of the Nation.
The other article, How the U.S. Exports Global Warming, details how although the U.S. has seemingly made impressive strides on the environmental front during Obama's time in office, much of it has been hypocritically undermined by a policy of exporting energy sources known to have horribly damaging effects (i.e. "dirty energy").
Dickinson writes:
"Even as our nation is pivoting toward a more sustainable energy future, America's oil and coal corporations are racing to position the country as the planet's dirty-energy dealer – supplying the developing world with cut-rate, high-polluting, climate-damaging fuels. Much like tobacco companies did in the 1990s – when new taxes, regulations and rising consumer awareness undercut domestic demand – Big Carbon is turning to lucrative new markets in booming Asian economies where regulations are looser. Worse, the White House has quietly championed this dirty-energy trade.
"The Obama administration wants to be seen as a climate leader, but there is no source of fossil fuel that it is prepared to leave in the ground," says Lorne Stockman, research director for Oil Change International. "Coal, gas, refinery products – crude oil is the last frontier on this. You want it? We're going to export it."Clearly, I've gotten to it rather circuitously, but a point I'm trying to make is this:
I think "global warming"--used as shorthand for a variety of related topics--is hugely important and demands the attention, and action (unfortunately, I don't know what to suggest on a micro or macro level beyond that which is part & parcel of our broken & co-opted political structure) of anyone who cares about life-threatening issues potentially to be faced by our children and grandchildren, if not ourselves.
Which brings me to the inanity of people wondering--beyond the odd attempt at frozen-nose-hair humor--how there can possibly be "global warming" when this continues to be the coldest winter many in Chicago (and far beyond) can remember.
Even just on a layman level, it has struck me that while there has always been inclement weather--sometimes devastatingly so--it seems that over the past decade or so we've seen myriad extreme weather events, either more commonly or more cataclysmically than "back in the day."
Between horrible disasters such as killer hurricanes, tornadoes and typhoons, or just the observation that in summertime Chicago it seems either to never rain or do so in end-of-the-world torrents, I can't help but perceive this weather extremism is something beyond coincidental.
So I just kind of assume there may be something other than a once-in-a-lifetime fluke to the staggering stretch of sub-zero temperatures we've experienced.

(As a brief, perhaps unnecessarily snarky aside, it seems the social media age has wrought a much heightened sense of importance regarding "what is happening to me, right now" and consequential obliviousness to much else. This doesn't aid the appreciation of topics of more worldly importance or demanding deeper consideration.)
The scientific research behind this seems still to be in its infancy, so I certainly don't offer it as fact--and can't quickly and lucidly even explain it--but it appears that global warming has greatly diminished the amount of Arctic sea ice, which had served as something of a buffer for past polar vortexes.
Read this Time article by Bryan Walsh for much greater clarity--as well as the sources cited below and others--but rather than laughing about how global warming and brutal cold must be contradictory, perhaps at least consider the possibility that it may well be causal.
Could it be that freezing your ass off and giving heed to warnings about climate change could be... well, bundled?
