On the eighth day, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, "I need a caretaker."
God said, I need somebody willing to get up before dawn, milk cows, work all day in the fields, milk cows again, eat supper and then go to town and stay past midnight at a meeting of the Farm Bureau.
I need somebody with strong arms to wrestle a calf, yet gentle enough to deliver his own grandchild. Somebody to call hogs, tame cantankerous machinery, come home hungry and have to wait until his wife is done feeding visiting ladies, then tell the ladies come back soon.
God said, I need somebody willing to sit up all night with a new born colt and watch it die and then dry his eyes and say maybe next year. I need somebody who can shape an ax handle from a persimmon sprout and shoe a horse with a hunk of car tire. Who can make harness out of a hay wire, feed sacks and shoe scraps. Whose planting time and harvest season will finish his 40-hour week by Tuesday noon. Then, with the pain from tractor back, he will put in another 72.
God had to have somebody willing to ride the ruts at double-speed to get the hay in ahead of the rain clouds and yet stop in mid-field and race to help when he sees the first smoke from a neighbor's place.
God said, I need somebody strong enough to clear trees and heave bales, and yet gentle enough to wean lambs and pigs and tend the pink combed pullets. And who will stop his mower for an hour to splint the broken leg of a meadowlark.
It had to be somebody who would plow deep and straight and not cut corners. Somebody to seed, weed, feed, breed, and rake and disc and plow and plant and tie the fleece and strain the milk and replenish the self-feeder and finish a hard weeks work with a five mile drive to church. Somebody who would bale a family together with the soft strong bonds of sharing. Who would laugh, then sign and reply with smiling eyes... When his son says he wants to spend his life doing what Dad does!

Yuge Betting Edge Revealed For Senate Conviction Odds
Donald Trump, impeachment, News, Republican, Senate
Sometimes betting is all about calling bluffs.
In a likely "tell" of Donald Trump's Senate trial outcome, after the first day of hearings in the upper chamber yesterday, a vote was held to determine the constitutionality of continuing impeachment proceedings against a private citizen.
As an impeachment and its ensuing trial are specifically designed to remove a public servant from office, it is likely unconstitutional to try a private individual in this context.
Nevertheless, six GOP Senators broke ranks to approve of the trial's continuation on constitutional grounds.
The final vote was 56-44, with the following Republicans joining their colleagues across the aisle:
Ben Sasse
Susan Collins
Lisa Murkowski
If you've been paying attention, you are no doubt aware that Bovada has had US Senate betting lines posted regarding how many Senators would vote to convict the former president on "incitement" grounds after he made this statement on January 6:
"I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard."
Now, regardless of your personal feelings about the former President, there is no rational or logical way to frame the above words as incitement to riot, incitement of rebellion, incitement of violence, or incitement of anything else except the peaceable exercise of every American's first amendment rights to free assembly.
But we digress, as the merit of the case – just like last time – plays second fiddle to the narrative of the case.
Of course, for US political bettors, even that is functionally irrelevant.
What matters here are the odds and whether or not you can find a betting edge with the new information presented at the top of this article.
And we believe you can!
As of the time of this writing, the odds at Bovada on Senate conviction look like this:
2021 Trump Odds On Senate Conviction
Via Bovada Sportsbook
How many US Senators will vote to convict Donald Trump on incitement charges?
55 Or 56 +180
50 Or Fewer +1600
67 Or More +1600
59 Or 60 +2000
63 Or 64 +10000
Amazingly, yesterday's vote – which saw six GOPers side with the left – has not moved the lines an inch.
Given that "55 Or 56" was the favorite, and given that exactly six Republicans voted to carry on with the trial, we would have expected the lines to move dramatically, with the favored outcome dropping into the negative.
But that hasn't happened, which means that if the final vote to convict is in line with yesterday's vote to continue, you stand to make a pretty penny.
However, that's not actually the line we like best.
Remember, this is politics and political theater, after all.
There's a very good chance that at least two of these pols – most probably Ben Sasse and Bill Cassidy – will eventually vote to acquit Trump.
Sasse and Cassidy represent Nebraska and Louisiana, respectively, and both states are heavily in Trump's corner.
In the 2020 Presidential election, Trump beat Joe Biden in Nebraska 58.51% to 39.36%, taking 91 of the state's 93 counties.
In Louisiana, Trump beat Biden 58.46% to 39.85%, taking 54 of the state's 64 parishes.
Neither Sasse nor Cassidy – both in just their first terms as US Senators – likely wish to commit career suicide, and by voting to carry on with the Senate trial, they have an out when they later vote to acquit.
Expect their argument to go something like this:
"We wanted to see the trial through in good faith so the prosecution would have the chance to present its evidence and the defendant would have a chance to respond to his accusers. This process is the foundation of all American jurisprudence."
All things considered, then, "53 Or 54" at +210 is the best bet here, and the payout is pretty decent.
That's where we're putting our money, and if you like our rationale, that's where you should put yours, too.

The String Quartets
Julia Wolfe: The String Quartets.
Women's History Month at HurdAudio continues this evening with an active ear applied to The String Quartets of Julia Wolfe released in 2004. There are three string quartets in this collection, and only one of them is actually new as "Four Marys" and "Early That Summer" were previously released on arsenal of Democracy, which I looked at earlier this month. ("Four Marys" is also included on the excellent Cassatt by the Cassatt String Quartet.) However, it is worth having these three pieces assembled on one disc to evaluate the great compositional voice Wolfe has applied to this medium.
"Dig Deep" is performed by Ethel. (Ethel having the odd distinction of being an ensemble of two violins, a viola and a cello that insists upon not being called a "string quartet.") This piece opens with a stabbing slab of harmony that sets up a pulse of intoxicating dissonance. Quick figures dart in between stabs, particularly when the pulse lets up for a "breath" allowing for other musical ideas wash over the top. Ethel does an excellent job of "attacking" this performance. There's a relentlessness to this piece that I admire. It's an intensely attractive sonic texture that remains static as the frequent variations in the details and harmonic development hold my interest.
"Four Marys" opens with a quiet drone texture with parts changing independently between loud and soft as the sustained pitches drift. This texture grows organically like a vine as new gestures and melodic lines spring up like blooming flowers.
"Early That Summer" opens by alternating between a soft, rapid pulse in the higher register and a loud, aggressive, rapid pulse that fills out the frequency spectrum. This material then develops by adding new material and varying it while sustaining it aggressive rhythmic thrust. The hocket patterns between the violin and cello are particularly effective. I also appreciate how individual parts will introduce pulses moving at a different rate against the group pulse (such as the cello part playing quarter-note triplets against the eighth/sixteenth note patterns) or else the entire pattern will slow down ensemble-wide with occasional bursts of the original rhythm appearing from time to time. This is sonic texture formed by fusing the group into a single sound as individual parts rarely sustain independence for long. My ears are drawn to the harmonic progression that colors this loud piece. The soft coda of sustained tones pulls this composition to a satisfying and creative conclusion.
These are three great string quartets. Julia Wolfe has developed an aggressive sonic vocabulary that "rocks" this medium. I hope that she completes a long cycle of many works for string quartet over the course of her career.

Kathleen Hanna: Interview by Ever Velasquez (instagram) and Todd Taylor
"Let's look back at the late '80s. It was largely a grim time for punk. The first two waves had crashed and much of its initial groundbreaking diversity had been washed out. Punk on a national level was definitely out of vogue; very few clambered to participate compared to earlier in the decade. Violence was prevalent, expected.
A strident, explicitly feminist punk band called Bikini Kill formed in 1990 in Olympia, Wash. Confrontational and unrepentant, it brought out the best and worst in punks. Misogyny, sexism, and patriarchy responded with ugly reactionary displays, calling into question if punk was truly an alternative to the worst aspects of mainstream culture. Was this just the same shit with a different haircut? Bikini Kill was a lighthouse and safe harbor, fore-fronting women, making space for those traditionally pushed down and aside (including, but not limited to, circle pits, workplaces, and on the street). At a time when very few bands were having conversations about gender and sexuality, Bikini Kill used a bullhorn.
I'm not one for heroes or icons, but it's historically accurate to state Bikini Kill was at the center of the riot grrrl movement and served as an important voice in feminism's third wave. It's not an overstatement to say riot grrrl saved lives. A large component of Bikini Kill was its singer and literal mouthpiece, Kathleen Hanna.
Near Bikini Kill's end in 1997, Kathleen began recording a solo record in her bedroom. Julie Ruin is personal work. It's both interviewer Ever's and Kathleen's mom's favorite—electronic, intimate, sample-heavy—and provides the sonic bridge to Le Tigre, a band whose stock trades on bouncy, feminist rump shakers. Violence at shows plummeted. LGBTQ inclusion—reminiscent of punk's first wave in L.A.—skyrocketed. I can't help but think Emma Goldman is smiling from her resting place. Le Tigre had picked the lock. Finally, an inclusive, glittering revolution that was truly danceable.
Le Tigre unfortunately ended due to Kathleen's health issues. She suffered and almost died from shamefully-undiagnosed-for-too-long Lyme disease. Thankfully, she recovered. Looking to flesh out the unrecorded songs from her solo record, The Julie Ruin was formed in 2010, reuniting Kathleen with Kathi Wilcox of Bikini Kill. Goddamn it, this band is really good. More than that, the music's relevant.
There are two versions of punk in my book. There's the contracting punk universe which becomes a dark, cynical, self-parodying, collapsing shell and there's the expanding universe that reveals subtle new spectrums of light and pervades a sense of infinite possibilities. The Julie Ruin is the latter.
This interview, at its essence, is about the courage to restart several times—through darkness and light, through sickness and health—and continue creating truly meaningful work. Kathleen Hanna is responsible for some of my favorite music. I celebrate her entire catalog and love her voice." –Todd Taylor
Chris Dodge: Interview by Juan Espinosa (instagram) and Todd Taylor
"Chances are you're familiar with the name Chris Dodge if you're at all into powerviolence, hardcore, punk, or thrash. After all, he only founded Slap A Ham Records, the premier powerviolence and hardcore punk record label of the '90s. The label released works from movers and shakers such as Man Is The Bastard, Crossed Out, Capitalist Casualties, and Spazz, in which he played bass and sang. Chris has also been invited to play with several of his own favorite hardcore bands including Despise You, Lack Of Interest, and Infest.
The self-described "cave dweller" currently fronts the band To The Point, is co-founder of beer snobs Trappist, and collaborated with Olav and Paul Van Den Berg of Seein' Red/Lärm fame. We lured Chris out of his cave and into our podcast station with the promise of beer (which we fully delivered) to discuss his past achievements and current obsessions." —Juan Espinosa
MariNaomi: Interview by Todd Taylor
"Cartoonist MariNaomi creates full worlds on the page, which is no easy feat. Largely working in autobiography and memoir, Mari employs emotionally honest storytelling and clean line work to tackle both the weighty (death, family, spirituality, misogyny, racism), and the everyday (crushes, work, food, clothes, friends) with a through-line of engaging readers as part of the conversation. Reading her work, I always feel I'm in capable hands. Her power is increased because she's very careful with what she does and doesn't present on the page. It's a deceptively simple presentation.
Those of us who create know that simplicity is rarely simple. I've zoomed through Mari's graphic novels Dragon's Breath and Turning Japanese, but instead of her themes and characters evaporating quickly like cleaning fluid swiped on a pane of glass, they stuck with me in almost invisible and smoky ways. Much like smells trigger deeply embedded memories, Mari's personal work is resonant, intersectional art of what it's like to be human. She's not only developed an enviable crisp craft on the page, it's masterfully imbued with large doses of heart and humor.
My memory is total shit, so I thought it'd be fun to reintroduce younger versions of Mari to her 2018 self by researching what she'd said in the past. It turned into an unintentional episode of This Is Your Life." –Todd Taylor

It's now been over a decade since I wrote this piece about punks and fitness. For five of those years I didn't exercise at all, choosing instead of succumb to the exhaustion and stress of raising small children by being as sedentary as possible. I was still moderately active—it's impossible not to be—but there was no way I was going to carve out the time to actually exercise. My body, like my priorities, has shifted over this decade. Bearing children, nursing them, holding them, and carrying them changed my relationship with my body. For the first time in my adult life, my body was not my own. That was hard. But, luckily, it was also temporary.
One month ago, right before Razorcake asked me about releasing this article as a zine, I started exercising again. I got a membership to a university fitness center close to my house and I started running on a treadmill three mornings a week. Running came back to me easily. I had not forgotten how to move my body. I quickly rediscovered the joy of picking up my speed in time with a loud soundtrack of my favorite songs. Exercise became a habit again and with it came all the benefits that I wrote about in this piece. My body felt better, my moods stabilized, my skin cleared up, my energy increased, I stopped craving cake like it was oxygen.
A lot has changed in the years since I wrote this. I no longer find myself interested in whether or not it's cool for punks to be into fitness. I'm now confident enough to know it doesn't matter if other people think something fits with whatever narrow definition of punk they are working from. And plus, punks have flocked to CrossFit classes in droves, so no one really talks about whether it's punk to be physically fit anymore.
I am uncomfortable with parts of this piece that are negative about the idea of being fat. Me-In-The-Past lacked analysis and knowledge and body positivity. I still have a lot to learn, but at least I know now that "fat" isn't an insult.
What hasn't changed is that exercise makes me feel good. It makes me feel powerful and happy and confident. And I know it still does that for the people I interviewed way back then. So here's to those of us approaching middle-age who work hard to take care of ourselves and others. For me, there's still nothing that compares to loud music, sweat, and happiness.
–Jennifer Whiteford, 2017
For most of my life, I thought of my body as merely a convenient way to move my head from one place to another.
I was lucky growing up, having inherited my body type from a long line of scrawny female relatives. While the fact that I also inherited myopia and uncooperative hair didn't do much for my teenage social life, I was comforted by the fact that I could eat all the candy and cake I wanted without putting on weight. As a result, I didn't give a shit about exercise.
I continued to not give a shit about exercise all the way through my twenties. Who needed exercise when you had books to read, records to buy, and rock shows to attend? I was still active: I danced at shows, rode my bike to work, and walked my dogs. I figured that would be enough to keep me happy and in shape for, oh, the rest of my life.
Wrong. So wrong.
Somewhere around my thirtieth birthday, things started to change. I put on weight, felt pissed off a lot for no reason, and got winded walking up stairs. I still biked, danced, and walked, but those activities didn't feel as good as they used to. I knew my body was, as the writer Julia Alvarez deftly put it, "not mine for free anymore." But there was no damn way I was going to start exercising.
Because exercise blows, right? We all know that. Exercise is for people who don't mind wearing spandex and headbands and white running shoes. For brainwashed freaks who talk about their "runner's high" and drink flax shakes and go to bed early. There was no way I was going to get involved in all that, no matter how fat and miserable I managed to get.
Then it was February, the coldest, crappiest Canadian month. I had the day off from work and spent most of it on the couch reading, getting up only to turn over whatever record I was listening to. At some point I turned on the TV and promptly fell asleep.
When I woke up, disoriented, dehydrated, and cranky, the TV was still on. Oprah Winfrey sat smugly on a couch with two young amazons who I didn't recognize. I squinted at the TV for about five minutes before they were identified as Venus and Serena Williams. I rolled my eyes at their over-the-top outfits and burrowed a little deeper into the couch.
Then they started talking about getting younger girls into sports. About how exercise raises women's confidence in themselves and makes them happier and more powerful. About how physical fitness can do a lot for a person's self image.
Oh shit, I thought, feeling fat on the couch. I'm actually being affected by something on the Oprah Winfrey Show. It was time to turn off the TV. And call my friend Pam.
"Hey, Pam? Are you, like, still going to do that women's Learn to Run class? Is it too late for me to sign up? Do I need to buy new shoes?"
The Learn to Run class was my perfect entrance into the world of exercise. It was based on interval training, so we added a minute to our running time every week. Even though most of the girls in the class worked in offices, wore pink, and cooed over each other's gigantic diamond engagement rings, I still felt like I belonged. I could actually run. And by the end of the class I could run for half an hour without stopping.
When I started to run a few times a week and discovered that I liked it, I couldn't help wondering about the correlation between my identity as a punk and my newfound love of exercise. So, is exercising and keeping fit a punk rock thing to do or not? While arguably healthy choices (I'm thinking vegetarianism, straight edgery et cetera…) have long been associated with punk rock, they seem to be more politically based than decisions made for personal health and fitness. Exercise, on the other hand, is more personal than political. Rather than getting bogged down in my own definitions and reasons, I decided to interview three punks who have been fit for way longer than me.
First I asked Dan Yemin, of Paint It Black, Kid Dynamite, and numerous other seminal hardcore bands, about the links he could see between punk rock and exercise. Dan works out four times a week doing a routine of weights and elliptical training. He used to run almost daily before he realized that it was too hard on his joints. He's starting to consider going to a yoga class that a bunch of other thirty-something Philly punk rock guys go to. Dan had clearly thought a lot about the reasons behind his choice to stay so fit. "I think that some of the reasons are good, healthy reasons and some of them are maybe somewhat immature, to be honest," he said, laughing. "Here's an immature one I'm not so proud of: it's kind of my revenge against all the jocks from high school because they're all bald and fat and working eighty hour a week corporate jobs that are giving them ulcers and heart disease and, for a thirty-eight-year-old guy, I'm in pretty good shape." Dan is not the only one who harkens back to his high school days when thinking through his desire to be fit.
Hallie Bulleit, of the NYC pop punk band The Unlovables, is also an avid exerciser. She runs, does Pilates, works out, and dances. Hallie has always been a dancer, but she didn't really get involved in other forms of exercise until she was in her mid twenties and her roommate decided to run a marathon. Now in her late twenties, Hallie is a self-described "fitness freak." When I talked to her about coming to exercise later in life, she thought back to her teenage years.
"I really hated, hated P.E.! I was that kind of classic kid who was always picked last for kickball," she said. "I can't remember any one of my P.E. teachers ever being encouraging in the slightest. Now, as an adult, to—really, in a lot of ways—be such a jock, it makes me think I could have been excelling at all this stuff when I was younger."
There is definitely something punk rock about hating gym class (or "P.E." as you Americans say). Phys. ed. represents everything that punks tend to rally against: joining in, competition, following orders, being a part of a team. It's no wonder that most of the people in the punk scene who I spoke to about exercise came to it later in their lives. It makes sense that this acceptance came after they'd gotten over the knee-jerk anti-fitness sneering that is understandably bred around the time puberty hits and phys. ed. becomes unbearable.
Dan touched on this as well. "My immediate experience is that sports are the defining factor for boys in American culture." When I asked for more of an explanation, he continued. "It's like, if you're not into sports, you're pretty much non-existent; you're a pariah. And kids in the States, even with little league sports, are raised to be pretty competitive, which means they tend to be pretty intolerant of people who aren't good. There's a big chunk of time between the ages of eight and thirteen where, if you suck at sports, you're getting yelled at and humiliated."
As a Canadian, I wondered, are things different up here? After all, my own high school didn't even have a football team. Neither did my university. I was only required to take two phys. ed. classes in my entire high school career and I took "general" level phys. ed., which was basically a class of uncoordinated girls playing lackadaisical volleyball games with a bare minimum of effort just to earn the credits. We rarely even worked up a sweat. Yet, on the weekends I rode my bike for hours to get to friends' houses. I danced like a maniac to Blondie albums in my bedroom when my parents weren't home. I walked for hours through downtown streets with my friends as we went from record store to record store. But I wouldn't have considered any of that to be exercise. And I never would have played competitive sports. Even without a big time high school football team spawning future frat boys and bubbly cheerleaders, I had a fairly well-honed hatred for the athletic teenagers who walked the halls of my suburban high school.
To further answer my Canada question, I looked to fellow Canadian, Grant Lawrence, lead singer of West Coast punk icons The Smugglers. Though he spent most of his teens and twenties with an aversion to jocks, Grant started to enjoy exercise and sports once he had a solid decade between himself and high school. Now in his mid-thirties, Grant works out, bikes, kayaks, and also plays goalie on the musician-heavy hockey team The Vancouver Flying Vees. I asked him if he ever got any flack for being a hockey-playing punk, or if hockey is just so universally accepted in Canada that no one would ever think to criticize. "I have never personally gotten grief for accepting sports again," Grant told me, "but I wouldn't say that hockey is universally accepted in Canada. In every town, there are outsider nerd kids who have been teased by the bullies who, likely, are also hockey players. Those outsider kids likely hate hockey and everything it stands for. Hopefully, like me, they can come around eventually."
Grant also chimed in on the punk versus jock question. He talked about his interest in physical fitness "book ending" the seventeen years he spent playing in The Smugglers. As a kid, he says, he played lots of sports and even has a fond memory of annihilating a notorious jock/bully in a foot race. But our old friend puberty intervened again and Grant's brief time as an athlete quickly ended. He shared Hallie's professed hatred for phys. ed. classes. "I began to loathe gym with a passion," he admitted, "hated the jockular attitude of the inevitable bullies who would end up at the top of the adolescent sports food chain, and I quit it all outright. I have never been a big guy… kinda short, hereditarily bad knees which would always dislocate playing sports, and I wore horribly nerdy glasses. When I started getting teased for the way I looked and played, I said fuck it, and drifted towards the arts."
Here we have a chicken and egg type conundrum. Do punk rockers abandon physical fitness because it's not cool and doesn't fit into their punk values? Or are they driven away from it by the teasing and competitiveness of the jocks and bullies? There seems to be a pervading attitude of "I'll reject you before you reject me" that keeps punk kids from getting involved in exercise and sports during those horrid, horrid teen years. And who can blame them?
Grant wasn't alone in his decision to say "fuck it" to phys. ed. and move on to rock'n'roll. "I just bought that whole bill of goods," Hallie told me when I asked her a similar question: "I'm a girl who's artsy so I'm not going to be good at this. It was easier to just believe that and not have to try. I was definitely afraid of failure as a kid when it came to trying something that no one ever told me I could be good at. It was like, I'll just stand here and look like I don't give a shit. That will make the whole thing less painful. And I didn't like the kids who played sports. They were the kids who were mean to me, so why would I want to do the thing that they were into?"
Dan says that he didn't start exercising until he turned twenty, an age that places him happily out of the high school world. But is it any easier to integrate physical fitness into your identity as a punk rocker than it was to integrate punk into the world of high school athletics? "I think, as punks, we're supposed to be more conscious, right?" Dan asked me. I agreed and he continued, "Although the typical stereotype is like, Live Fast Die Young; real self destructive. But I think those of us who survived that—if you haven't lived fast enough to die young, then you're a thinking person and you've survived, so you develop more of a long term perspective."
Grant also speaks from an older and wiser perspective when it comes to sports. "By the time I got back to hockey, all those trappings of locker room bullshit were gone," he says. "The bullies had mellowed and humbled. The nerds had gained self-confidence. Playing at age thirty felt like playing at age ten again—the same feeling of exuberance and fun. We all just had to get through the bullshit insecurities of our teens and twenties, both the jock assholes and the art fags." I don't doubt his statement at all, given my own ability to make nice with the crew of engagement-ringed, office job girls who I started running with. The desire to be fit and the experience of running made us less likely to harp on high school style differences, and more likely to just relax and enjoy ourselves. And what with exercise being an easy ticket to increased self-confidence, there was no reason for the competitive, bitchy attitudes of yore.
Truthfully, I felt more social confusion when I tried to explain my newfound attitude towards fitness to my punk rock friends. Try explaining how much you like getting up early, putting on white sneakers, and getting all out of breath and sweaty to people whose forays into fitness consist mainly of biking home drunk from the bar. People may not directly hassle fit punk rockers, but there does seem to be a universal confusion about it. Hallie describes this Does-Not-Compute attitude when she talks about getting up to run while on tour with The Unlovables: "When we're on tour and we're staying at some punk house and people see me coming back from my run, I get some of the strangest looks! But I can't tell how much of that is Oh you freak! You exercise! or if it's like, Oh you freak! You played a show last night and are about to spend seven hours in a car and that's what you wanted to do with your morning? Go running?"
And yet, even if there are some who would peg exercise as not punk rock, something about physical fitness is unavoidably attractive for those who participate. "I get somewhat of a high from exercising," said Grant. "I believe in its healing power for mind and body. I remember when touring with the band I had an expression: the healing power of rock'n'roll, meaning that if I ever had, say, a head cold or a sore back or whatever, I would climb up on stage, physically freak out, sweat all the snot out, get the blood pumping, and inevitably I would get off stage and feel way, way better. I've experienced the exact same thing with hockey."
Hallie, who's non-rock day jobs have had her performing on Broadway and, more recently, teaching dance classes, has some unique reasons for staying in shape. "I am a dancer and an actress so I actually don't have a choice. It's sort of professionally expected of me that I be in shape." But she admitted to feeling lucky that fitness is something she enjoys fitting into her otherwise hectic schedule.
For Dan, as well, fitness has become an automatic part of his life and identity. "I just didn't feel in any way masculine when I was younger and it sucks to not feel like you possess any masculinity. So I think working out is just kind of a way of reclaiming that." I wondered if things were different for us girls. Dan agreed that a gender discrepancy probably exists, "Women feel like they're expected to stay in shape so that they'll be attractive to men. In a kind of twisted way, this means that women in the punk scene might not get made fun of for exercising, whereas with guys it's not considered punk to take care of yourself."
I was thinking about this gender divide when, during my conversation with Hallie, we discussed the possibility that women might have a different experience with physical fitness than men. "Some of my punk rock friends are in really poor health," she said. "Really, really upsettingly poor health. Mostly guys, but I think that's because our little scene here is made up mostly of guys. I would be interested to know if punk rock girls on the whole are in as bad shape as punk rock boys. I kind of doubt it."
So what is a fit punk to do when he or she wants to get friends into the groove? Telling someone that they might want to get off their ass is a fairly delicate subject to bring up, even in typically brash punk rock circles. As Hallie said, "You feel like if you say, 'You should be in better health,' you're lecturing or on your high horse or whatever, so I never mention it. You don't want to sound like you're judging someone and it can't sound like it's about weight or a million other things that we're not supposed to talk about or notice. 'Cause saying something about someone sitting on a couch for hours and hours of their life, that makes you an asshole!"
Assholes or not, there's no getting away from the fact that another benefit of exercise is the increased foxiness that results. If all those other practical healthy reasons don't move us to, well, move, then maybe we need to succumb to vanity just a little bit. You know, for the sake of our health. As Grant puts it, "The aesthetic of not having a massive beer gut is a nice bonus." Looking good can often turn into feeling good, which never hurts anyone. Dan went on to tie that element of improved self confidence into being a performer, "To feel proud of your body, or at least not ashamed of it, is a huge factor in feeling comfortable in front of people."
Not to say that being a fitness buff saves you from the potential humiliation that we all remember from gym class. For instance, when I started running, I tried to keep the dork factor at bay by refusing to buy clothes designed especially for running. I hit the streets in my Rock for Choice T-shirt and a pair of black shorts. But when the weather got hotter and my runs got longer, I had to suck it up and admit that the easily sweat-logged natural fibers were no longer my friends. Now I wear the unnatural "wicking" fabrics and I'm comfortable, even in the heat. However, all that comfort doesn't stop me from feeling dorky when I get dressed up in my running clothes. Hallie agrees that "the running gear is pretty heinous." We commiserated over the remarkable ugliness of white and yellow running shoes. She laughed, "There's a degree of horribleness to all of it. The women's stuff especially! I'm sure that's part of the weirdness when people see me playing a show the night before in whatever cockamamie outfit I've put together, but then I wake up in the morning and put on my little running uniform!"
Grant added another level to exercise-induced humiliation by ending our interview with this story: "I once got my arm caught in my iPod headphone wires while riding a stationary bike at the gym. The iPod went flying out of the cup holder and hit the guy beside me in the side of the head. I attempted to catch the iPod, slipped off the seat of the bike, and fell into a cactus in the corner. The guy had me kicked out of the gym for 'throwing his iPod at me for no reason.' I was pulling thorns out of my hand for a week."
As for me, the benefits of getting into shape turned out to drastically outweigh any lingering uncoolness that I may have once associated with exercise. After I'd been running regularly for several months, I started to notice huge changes in predictable and not-so-predictable areas of my life. First, I realized I had way more energy than I'd had before and I stopped being in a bad mood all the time. My skin cleared up, I stopped craving junk food all the time, and I lost fifteen pounds. And I can't say for sure, but I'd be willing to bet that it was regular exercise that kept me from getting overly emo when I went through a break up last year. Though I've tried a few other forms of exercise like yoga and swimming, I really like running because I can do it anywhere. I even brought my gear to this year's Punk Rock Bowling Tournament in Vegas. Running also doesn't cost anything to do, at least after you get your sweat-wicking, high tech, ridiculous-looking running outfit. And if nothing else, running gives me an excuse to be alone and listen to an hour of uninterrupted music before any of my other daily responsibilities need attending to. And for me, being anti-social and listening to loud music is still punk rock, even if I'm doing it in white shoes.

Microsoft unveiled Windows 10 at an event in San Francisco, leapfrogging Windows 9. The new windows upgrade Microsoft claims is scalable across broad set of devices (from 4-inch screen smartphones to 20-inch desktops). The Windows Store or Metro or Modern UI apps are now referred to as Universal Windows apps.
The new upgrade aims to deliver one Store for all devices, making it easier for developers of apps to reach customers in different innovative ways irrespective of the type of device in use. It also focusses more on the distribution mechanism.
Universal Windows Apps offers support across different devices will not be easy as developers will still have to deal with the user interface challenges that would surface following porting an app optimized for small screen devices like smartphones to large screen desktops.
Some major changes incorporate in Windows 10 include a "task view" residing on the task bar. When launched the button would display all the apps users have running. Second, Continuum lets the Windows 10 UI change depending on what device someone is using. Finally, there's Snap Assist UI which lets a user grab apps from different desktops, pulling them onto his screen in one full-screen view.
It should be noted that all visual designs integrated into this build may not function smoothly as required. The UI you see, or the features you use are not complete at this stage. The appearance and feel will be finalized as Windows 10 developers get closer to the release date. A preview of Windows 10 is due out next week. Microsoft is planning to ship the OS next year, 2015.


As was expected, land redress a fundamental ANC 54th resolution in the SONA was accorded an insignificant two- liner, as part of accelerating land reform, we heard again, the government has identified land parcels owned by the state for redistribution. This significantly toned-down version of land redress as demanded by the masses, confirms that the president and his leadership listened to the investors and the letter penned by the WEOG countries.
Needless to say, Ramaphosa's SONA besides being a glorious moment of self – praise proved thin on the core issues of firstly ANC resolutions and job creation. His use of his CR17 campaign mantra of 'inclusive growth" as juxtaposed and in replacement of the ANC's radical economic transformation stays. Meaning the ANC's 54th Conference resolutions that made him ANC president is long a case of history, consciously eclipsed by the known liberal-agenda crafted faction in the ANC's push for inclusive growth. With this SONA he again reiterates this is his response to the quest of the masses for undeniable radical economic transformation.
SONA 2019, can thus be summarised as one that is foreign-investor directed. It at a local level confirms a liberal DA-agenda and is simply not one that is led by a pro-poor focus. With this SONA statement, Ramaphosa continues to arrogate the role of self- appointed messiah of fixing the wrongs he attributes to his predecessor when he wholly exonerates himself.

The GT is a great car and this original survivor bushes all the right buttons.
We always appreciate receiving information and photos on special cars. We can't use them all but we do try to publish the ones we find especially interesting and unique. Any well preserved survivor meets that criteria. Here is a 1966 Mustang fastback that was brought to our attention recently and thought you might enjoy knowing more about it.
The following story on the Jim & Earla Turcich' s 1966 K code GT Mustang fastback was submitted to us by Roger Whittaker. Thank you Roger!
Beautiful 1966 Mustang K Code GT Fastback!
If you walk around Jim & Earla Turcich' s 1966 K code GT Mustang fastback a few times you may begin to notice that something is different. It's the type of things that go largely unnoticed when you first see the car and perhaps therein lies the rub. The car doesn't get out much, in fact prior to last year's Lake Mirror (Fla) Concours it had been decades since it's last show and even longer since it had been driven any significant miles.
This fastback roof line is a classic.
Perhaps we have become so used to seeing pristine examples on the lawns and show fields that we are subconsciously drawn to makes and models that naturally interest us and in doing so, miss some of the gems of the collector car hobby. That was exactly the case with the Turcich' s HiPo fastback that admittedly I gave only a cursory glance at as I stood just steps away fawning over a line of vintage Shelby's, Cobra Jets and Bosses.
The interior is basic but was terrific in its day. Note the after marked high performance seatbelts.
It wasn't until my second pass through the show that I noticed the small "High Performance" badge behind 289 emblem on the Turcich' s Mustang that grabbed my attention. But there was more to this car now, something I hadn't noticed before. While closer inspection of the "K" in the vin verified the pedigree, I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Looking further it was evident that this car belonged among the Shelby's and Boss 429's nearby. The potent GT four speed dressed in its Candy apple hue, styled steel wheels, pony interior and white GT stripes was worthy of much more than just look, and I was about to discover why.
289 K Code is a rare and very desirable engine.
There are minor flaws if you look close enough, the color isn't as deep as you see on a restored car, there are scuffs on the door sills and the wood grain steering wheel is cracked, but it's the patina that rewards those who pause to look closer. A sure sign that says this car has been around a while, if not around the block quite as often. If it's paperwork you desire, it's there in abundance. Original Bill of sale and title, manufacture's statement of origin, order forms, insurance, maintenance, original photos even the original keys. For added measure, the Ford performance parts that were added when new by the dealer are still on the car with the original factory pieces in the trunk along with the work order.
Aside from a few soft pieces, i.e. hoses, belts and tires that succumb to time and dry rot, the car appears exactly as it was stored away over 40 years ago. As collectibles go, this one possesses all three; desirability, provenance and excellent original condition and fortunately this time, I didn't miss it.

We saw a demonstration of the Black Shark 2's X+2 Antenna array, which has antennas in six locations about the device so that you'll have a quick connection wherever your hands are on the phone. It's possible that future Black Shark phones could have even more.
When we asked about other ways Black Shark would stay ahead of the curve, Li told us that touchscreen latency was also an important feature, so that the phone was as responsive as possible for gaming. According to the company's tests, the Black Shark 2 is roughly 25% more responsive than the Samsung Galaxy S10, and by keeping latency competitive, future Black Shark devices could still be better for gameplay.

Music

The original songs for the film were composed by Jakes Bejoy, with lyrics written by Joe Paul, Sharis Muhammed, and Jyothish T. Kasi. The soundtrack album was released by Satyam Audios on 3 January 2018. Dijo Jose Antony and Arun Nandakumar choreographed the songs "Saare Njangal" and "Podi Parane" respectively.

Release
The film was released on 12 January 2018 across 84 theaters in Kerala.

Reception

Critical response
Arjun R Krishnan from Malayala Manorama has written that 'Queen', the debut work by director Dijo Jose Antony, presents quite a few contemporary issues in a titillating cinematic wrap and rated the movie 3.5 out of 5.

The film, however, was not received well by some feminist critics. Anna MM Vetticad of Firstpost refused to rate the film, calling it a 'non-film', and was outraged by the fact that this 'nondescript' film managed to get released not only in Kerala, but outside it as well, when far superior films were struggling to find theaters. Sowmya Rajendran of The News Minute wrote that the film does a disservice to rape survivors by suggesting that the rape and murder of the female protagonist in the film is tragic only because she was an orphan, a cancer patient, and blameless in all respects. She also criticized the film's concluding message that men should see women as their responsibility and assume the role of their protectors.

To assess whether working memory contents can effectively bias visual selection even when they do not represent the current target in the attention task, we recorded the ERP activity from participants performing both a memory task and, in the retention period, a visual search task. In this task, a distracter matching the memory content could be presented on the same side (congruent trials) or on the opposite side (incongruent trials) relative to the target location (Experiment 1 and Experiment 2). On some trials, only the matching distracter (but no target) was presented (catch trials, Experiment 2). Results showed that the N2pc component was modulated by the presence and location of a matching distracter. We interpret these results as evidence that the involuntary control exerted by the irrelevant memory contents coexists with the strategic mechanism related to the search target, influencing attention selection with roughly equal power. In Experiment 3, we found that the modulation of the N2pc is not strictly related to the active maintenance of the memory-target features but can also be elicited by repetition priming. Overall, these findings suggest that, together with the physical properties of the stimuli presented in the visual field, irrelevant memory contents represent a powerful class of factors that lead to involuntary attentional control.

Ajax players Nicolás Tagliafico and Lisandro Martínez asked for the song on Wednesday Live is life in the run-up to the Champions League match against FC Midtjylland. The Argentines thus honored their fellow countryman Diego Maradona, who died earlier in the day at the age of sixty.
'Maradona was only one in the world'
"The news of Maradona's death came to everyone a few hours before the match, and certainly to our Argentines," said trainer Erik ten Hag after the 3-1 victory over the Danish champion.
Nicolás and Lisandro were very emotional about it. And at the request of them it was during the warm-up Live is life turned. "
Live is life has been with Maradona since joining Napoli in 1989 ahead of the UEFA Cup semi-final against Bayern Munich tossing open the box of tricks while Opus's song was playing in the stadium. Dancing to the music, the legendary footballer warmed up while holding up a ball.
31 years later, Tagliafico made the same movements as Maradona then Live is life was shot in the ArenA. "It was a tribute to Maradona and the joy he always brought to the field," said the 28-year-old left back after the game. "His death is a great loss for the football world and certainly for us Argentines. We will remember him."
For app users: tap the tweet above for images of Nicolás Tagliafico's warming-up.
Tagliafico once trained as a youth international under Maradona, who was the national coach of Argentina from 2008 to 2010. "He then called out to me that I was doing well," he said earlier this month. "That was fantastic."
Ten Hag was also asked about Maradona at the press conference. "There was only one Maradona in the world," he said. "Whether he is the best footballer ever? You cannot answer that question, because then you have to compare different generations. Players like Cruijff and Beckenbauer could conduct a team. Maradona was more of an individualist, but he reached an unparalleled level. In 1986 he almost single-handedly made Argentina world champion. "

With the Galaxy Note 5 due for release in 2015, some more interesting information has recently seeped out about this forthcoming device. According to a report recently published by SamMobile, Samsung has already given this phablet-sized device the codename of "Project Noble." And the publication has also got its hands on a list of model numbers for the Galaxy Note 5 which will be applied to the device in different regions.
Galaxy Note 5 model numbers leaked
According to this information, the European model will feature SM-N920F, while SM-N920S and SM-N920K will be attributed to the Galaxy Note 5 released in Korea. Meanwhile, the SM-N920A and SM-N920 will be released for AT&T and Verizon Wireless, respectively.
This is fairly marginal information about this new Samsung release, but what it does confirm is the existence of the Galaxy Note 5 itself. Of course, analysts and market observers have expected a sequel to last year's highly successful Galaxy Note 4 phablet, but it is still worthwhile and interesting to see this actually come to fruition.
Galaxy S6 codes also emerge
Meanwhile, codes have also surfaced which appear to be related to the Galaxy S series. This flagship smartphone has only just released in 2015, but a stellar Galaxy S7 is predicted for 2016. The next year could be a particular significant one for the smartphone genre, with Apple followers now widely regarding the iPhone 7 as likely to release during the next calendar year.
The SM-G928 appears to be a variant of the Galaxy S6 (G920), but it is not yet clear how it will differ from the existing Galaxy S6, or indeed whether this is a flat or curved screen version of the smartphone. There are also a series of letters are distributed to these models which indicate regional and carrier versions, namely F for Europe, A and V for AT&T and Verizon, S and K for SK Telecom and KT.
This variant of the Galaxy S6 is currently codenamed Project Zen within Samsung. While it is easy to imagine that it is a full-blown sequel to the 2015 smartphone, it is also possible that it is some sort of variant on the existing theme. Rumors have abounded in recent months that Apple will release a much smaller version of the iPhone, possibly with a 4-inch screen, at some point, and Samsung may well respond to this directly.
Although Samsung has increasingly made its name with large devices – the Galaxy Note series indeed being the most notable among them – it could perceive that there is a gap in the marketplace for a smaller Samsung smartphone. So it is possible that this leaked code number is part of this plan, and that Samsung will consider releasing a more diminutive and compact version of the Galaxy S series at some point in the future.
The full list of codes which have appeared on the web is as follows:
Noble – SM-N920F EUR XX
Noble – SM-N920S KOR SKC
Noble – SM-N920K KOR KTC
Noble – SM-N920A NA ATT
Noble – SM-N920V NA VZW
Zen – SM-G928A NA ATT
Zen – SM-G928S KOR SKC
Zen – SM-G928F EUR XX
Zen – SM-G928V NA VZW
There is certainly no indication at this stage when we can expect either the Galaxy Note 5 or alternative Galaxy S device to be released. There will be much manoeuvring for position in the next 18 months, as both Samsung and Apple look to release upgrades of existing flagship devices, and build towards a revolutionary paradigm shift in the mobile marketplace in 2016.
Galaxy Note 5 critical for Samsung
After a challenging 12 months for the Korean electronics giant, the Galaxy Note 5 in particular will be a critical release for the corporation. Samsung has been forced to endure the ignominy of watching its major rival Apple significantly streak ahead at the apex of the mobile selling marketplace. And the recent news has underlined the extent to which this has been achieved.
The technology analysis organisation Gartner has recently reported that Apple is outselling Samsung in pure volume terms. This is little short of disastrous news for the Korean manufacturer, at least with regard to its desire and intention of overtaking Apple, as Samsung has always relied on selling relatively affordable devices to the East Asian marketplace, and other developing economies.
Apple has long since been more profitable than Samsung, but if it is also outselling the Galaxy range in pure volume turns then this is a serious situation for Samsung to address. As the Galaxy Note 4 was one of the most critically acclaimed mobile devices of 2014, it stands to reason that the sequel to this device will be an important one for the Korean company.
Samsung is still mobile powerhouse
While a lot has been written about the travails of the Samsung in the last 12 months, it is worth emphasizing that this remains an incredibly powerful company. The authoritative Interbrand survey still ranked Samsung as the seventh best global brand, while Forbes has it one place lower on the list in eighth. Forbes also rates Samsung as one of the top 10 most profitable corporations on the planet, and Samsung's own figures indicate that its revenue was over $300 billion in 2014. This is not a company to waste any sympathy on!
But at Samsung will be looking for a strong critical and commercial response to its devices in 2015, it is predicted that the Galaxy Note 5 may be its most spec-packed release yet. Thus, we are likely to see such features in this phablet as quad HD resolution, inbuilt wireless charging as standard, and Samsung Pay and fingerprint sensor technology, proprietary Exynos chipsets, and impressive TouchWiz upgrades.
Samsung has downgraded its expectations of being able to compete directly with Apple somewhat in the last 12 months, but it still very much has an eye on this holy grail in the long-term. The first step on the road to this is a strong Galaxy Note 5 release, and we now know that this device is on the cards in the foreseeable future.

The end of Septmeber sees the culmination of a busy time for my family.
The drive down there really wasn't too bad. It took just over 2 hours and the kids were amazingly well behaved in the car (thank you god of Apple!). They spent their time looking at interesting things during the journey which helped – Stonehenge, playing I-Spy, Pokémon Go and studying a squashed fly on the windscreen.
We had pre-booked our tickets online because you can save about £3/person by doing it this way. This might not sound like much but, when there is a large group of you, the savings made are enough to buy some Ice Creams at the end of the day…or Wine!
You can book tickets by visiting the Wookey Hole Website, here.
We showed our online booking email to the ticket desk and they gave us our tickets. It was then a short, 5 minute stroll, from the ticket office to the cave entrance where you wait and queue for your tour.
The walk up to the caves is really pretty and gives you a glorious view of the gorge in which the caves are set.
In brief, Wookey Hole Caves are a series of limestone caverns and caves in the village of Wookey Hole on the southern edge of the Mendip Hills near Wells in Somerset, UK. The River Axe flows through the caves and you get to see it at various points on your tour. Wookey Hole is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) for both biological and geological reasons. The temperature in the caves is a constant 13'c all year round so it feels cool in there in the summer and warmer in there in the cold of winter. Regardless of when you visit, it is advisable to take a jacket with you.
The caves have been used by humans for around 45,000 years, which is demonstrated by the discovery of tools from the Palaeolithic period, along with fossilised animal remains. A corn-grinding mill operated on the waters of the River Axe as early as the Domesday survey of 1086. The waters of the river are used in a handmade paper mill, which now houses the main part of the alternative attractions there such as a soft play, an exhibition on the history of Wookey Hole caves, a circus and a Victorian Penny Arcade. The paper mill is the oldest in existence in Britain and it began operations circa 1610. You can still see how the paper was made after the cave tour by going into the old Paper Mill itself which is included in your ticket price, and you can also buy some handmade Wookey Hole paper in the gift shop at the end.
The low, constant temperature of the caves means that they can be used for maturing Cheddar Cheese, the famous Wookey Hole Cheddar…oh, and wine! Basically, I would be quite happy living in these caves. A good temperature all year round, fresh water, peace and quiet, glorious cheese and wine. When do I move in?
The tours run every half an hour, so 10am, 10:30am, 11am etc. I am unsure of when the last tour is but details can be found on their website.
We arrived about 10 minutes before the second tour was due to start so waited for that one. It really wasn't very busy and there were lots of little ones there whose parents were also braving the caves with a toddler. We were all in it together at least!
A young lady came along selling glow sticks for the kids to use in the caves so we bought them one each in the vain hope that if they found the caves too dark and scary, their little glowing stick might cheer them up…clutching at straws maybe but I thought it was £2 (each) well spent to be honest.
The friendly tour guide arrived promptly and led us into the caves after a small health and safety talk. It's best not to think about caves and tunnels collapsing too much as you enter the caves, you'd probably turn around and run the other way if you imagined how many tonnes of rock were above your head.
A model witch greets you as you enter the caves and then it's down some steps into the dark of the caves.
The caves are not suitable for pushchairs, wheelchairs, those who aren't sure footed (no gin before you go in) and a backpack baby carrier is also pretty useless because you have to crouch under some very low overhangs at points. Ben, our toddler, is 2.5 and he managed fine holding our hands.
The caves are beautiful. They're other worldly, mysterious and awe inspiring.
Yes, they're lit up with coloured lights which some people don't like because they think it's tacky, but because the caves are used for events and weddings, they need these lights to create an ambiance. I quite liked it if truth be told and the kids thought the coloured lights were, quote, "epic".
The tour lasts roughly 40 minutes and takes you in about 5 caves. There is so much information to take in and interesting things to that you could easily stay in there longer. Truth be told, the tour did feel a little rushed and we could have done with a little longer to linger and look in each cave before moving on, but with lots of people waiting for the next tour, it's understandable as to why you can't stay in there too long. see and it's truly amazing to think Stone age man lived in these very caves you're walking in, you're literally following in their footsteps. It really captivated the adults and the kids and my eldest declared Wookey Hole better than Legoland. High praise indeed!
After the main feature of the caves is finished, you exit out into the bottom of the gorge and can walk around the beautiful grounds. The river flows with crystal clear waters, there is a Yew Tree which is thought to be over 1000 years old and there are some enormous dinosaur models to discover…oh, and a giant King Kong. Obviously. The toddler thought it was great and was shouting 'Dinosaur!' as much as George Pig would be on a day out at the Natural History Museum.
There is a 4D cinema there, which you have to be aged 3 and over to go in. It's dark and loud and the seats move/shoot air out so if you have kids that are of a nervous disposition, I'd give it a miss but we went in with our 8 and 7 year olds (Nanny and Grandad hunted for more Dino's with the toddler whilst we were in there) and they loved it. There was a bit of an odd moment where something poked you from under your chair which caused me and my husband to burst out laughing like naughty children. My son said there might be a 'Slow Poke' from Pokemon Go under our seats…which didn't do anything to stop our hysteria! Pahahahaha!!!!
We then headed into the old Paper Mill for a look about.
There is an exhibit on how paper was made, another on the diving equipment over the years which has been used to explore the caves (one of the old divers loved his bottle of Aldi Mamia Apple and Blackcurrant Juice incidentally) a soft play, a mirror maze, a circus, a Victorian Penny arcade and a shop. There is certainly plenty to do in there!
We didn't watch a circus show but we spent an hour in the old Victorian Penny Arcade and the kids were totally amazed by using the old coins and machines.
After buying some Wookey Hole cheddar, a couple of souvenir cups and a wind up torch for the toddler (yep, that's what he chose out of the whole shop!) in the gift shop, we made our way out of Wookey Hole and went back to the car park to get our picnic.
There is a Mini Pirate Golf course there but this costs extra and we didn't play because our tummies were rumbling too much!
We sat on some picnic tables near the Wookey Hole hotel which is there (we didn't go in but it does look like a lovely place to stay for a night or two if you were driving a long way to visit. They also have some wooden lodges you can rent which looked fab) and tucked into our picnic. The kids had decorated Grandad a birthday cake which I took with us and we all sang happy birthday and stuffed our faces with it. Ben tucked into some of his Aldi Mamia snacks (he especially enjoyed the Rice cakes and fruit pouches) and then we went and hunted for conkers to burn off some of that cake. During our conker hunt, we found an ENORMOUS one, bigger than any I have ever seen before, and it filled my eldest son's hand. Inside were 2 very big conkers which have now been added to our collection of 200 or so which are currently sat in our fruit bowl because apparently the smell of a conker scares spiders away and my eldest HATES spiders…life with kids eh?!
I think it's safe to say my dad and Zak had a lovely day – I hope it's one they treasure forever. I certainly will.
Thank you to Aldi (and Britmums) for the items from Aldi's Mamia Range which we used for our day out. Our toddler scoffed the lot so it's a thumbs up from him and, because it's all organic and really reasonably priced, it's a thumbs up from Mummy too!
We would thoroughly recommend Wookey Hole as a day out for families, you really could spend the whole day, and maybe even a weekend, here. Educational and a traditional (slightly eccentric) British day out. Perfect.
Disclosure: This post is an enrty for #BritMums #MamiaDaysOut Linky Challenge, sponsored by Aldi Mamia. I was sent a hamper of Aldi Mamia products in return for this review.
Looks like such a fab day out!! What lovely photos. Glad you survived birthday season!

Popularity of ETFs Continued to Grow in 2009
In 2009, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), including exchange-traded notes (ETNs) drew $114.4 billion in net inflows, according to Strategic Insight, an Asset International company.
An SI news release said the year ended with a bang, as ETFs took in $27.4 billion in December 2009, the largest monthly inflow to ETFs since the products drew $42.9 billion in December 2008. It was the third year in a row that ETF inflows topped $100 billion, including $149 billion in net inflows in 2007 and a record $176 billion in net inflows in 2008.
Net flows into ETFs were led by flows into emerging markets equity ETFs, followed by gold ETFs, government bond ETFs, commodities ETFs, and natural-resources companies ETFs, according to SI.
U.S. ETFs ended the year with a record $785.3 billion in assets, invested in 893 different ETFs, up from $613.2 billion in ETF assets at the end of 2007 and $535.2 billion in assets at the end of 2008.
SI expects U.S. ETF assets to hit the $900 billion mark in 2010, and hit the $1 trillion mark in 2011. "ETF growth is attracting more big-name players, such as PIMCO and Schwab, which in turn helps accelerate the growth of the ETF market," said Loren Fox, senior research analyst at Strategic Insight, in the announcement.

15 Interesting Things You Don't Know About Abraham Lincoln
People / September 22, 2016 September 21, 2016
If you read any list on the famous American personalities, the name of Abraham Lincoln will definitely be at the top. Among all of American Presidents, Lincoln was the greatest and it is because of him that the United States of America is now hailed as the superpower of the world. He was able, just, courageous and tactful. The President worked to abolish slavery that was eating deep into the American society's roots at that time and it was because of his colossal efforts that we now see a whole new American society that's more democratic and accepting.
You must be aware of many facts about this great personality, but today, we are disclosing a few untold facts that will get you all to know him deeply. Let's roll!
1. Lincoln procured a patent for his invention of empty air chambers in 1849
Image Credit: pinimg
Have you heard of any president ever to have obtained a patent for something he invented? Well, you may not know, but Lincoln, the 16th President of U.S was a patent holder. He was an inventor who invented empty air chambers that kept water vessels floating when navigating shallow waters. Lincoln, we all know was interested in dealing with machines and techniques relating to them. This led him to develop an interest in designing a way that enabled people to traverse shallow waters without damaging the boats. His patent number allotted was 6469. The year was 1849.
2. Lincoln used the Lincoln Bedroom in White house as his office but never slept in it
Image Credit: jfklibrary
Its a fact that Abraham Lincoln never utilized the Lincoln Bedroom in White House for sleeping. Rather he used it for conducting his usual office chores and meetings. Most of the time, he would have a meeting and would sign all the official documents along with his cabinet members. The Emancipation Proclamation was also signed in Lincoln Bedroom.
3. Lincoln had a little formal education but was a voracious reader

In various history books offering information about Abraham Lincoln, you will probably get all the info about his educational background, but, do you all know that he was a voracious reader as well? As far as formalized education is concerned, Lincoln only managed to get 18 months of education. He was a man who self taught himself and read as many books as he could in his lifetime. Among the few teachers that taught him, we can name some like Azel W. Dorsey. In his free time, Lincoln would only devote time for reading and nothing else.
4. Lincoln worked as a postmaster in New Salem

Abrahim Lincoln did many jobs before he became the 16th President of U.S. As a postmaster, he started working on May 7, 1833 when he took over from Samuel Hill, the owner of the general store that hired Lincoln. But, because Lincoln was more popular among people, he was assigned the job to deliver posts to the town people of New Salem. He worked for three years and earned a total salary of 200 Dollars. In the year 1836, he resigned from the post.
