Bob Anderson
Nordling here.
If you don't know who Bob Anderson is, I can assure you, you're familiar with his work. The Original STAR WARS films. THE LORD OF THE RINGS and THE HOBBIT. THE PRINCESS BRIDE. The Antonio Banderas ZORRO films. Bob Anderson was a sword master who helped orchestrate many of the swordfights that we know and love today, and in many instances, actually did a lot of the fighting. The swordfights in the STAR WARS films? That was Bob Anderson. The amazingly awesome fight choreography in THE PRINCESS BRIDE? That was Bob. Who taught Viggo to kick a thousand Orcs' asses and then sit back with a drink? That was Bob.
Just watch the duel in EMPIRE, as Vader toys with Luke before unleashing the full power of the Dark Side on that scaffold. There's a genuine menace to his swordplay in that scene, and that was entirely due to Bob. According to Wikipedia, Mark Hamill wanted to make sure he was recognized for his work - "Bob Anderson was the man who actually did Vader's fighting. It was always supposed to be a secret, but I finally told George I didn't think it was fair any more. Bob worked so bloody hard that he deserves some recognition. It's ridiculous to preserve the myth that it's all done by one man."
Bob Anderson worked with Errol Flynn, and had been in the business since 1953, working with Flynn on THE MASTER OF BALLANTRAE. Here's Viggo talking about Bob Anderson for the documentary RECLAIMING THE BLADE:
And here's the amazing choreography that Bob designed for THE PRINCESS BRIDE:
Our best wishes and prayers go out to Bob Anderson's family and friends. Nordling, out.

His work will be remembered for many decades, if not centuries.

More like his work will live on, certainly past my lifetime. Rest in Peace Bob.

A sad day.
by Ironhelix
I always loved the swordplay leading up to Vader amputating Luke's hand in The Empire Strikes Back. Especially the last few seconds when Luke hits Vader in the shoulder and REALLY pisses him off. Those scenes have more visceral impact than any of the swordplay in the prequels.

This man created the most memorable sword fight scenes in my life. It's because of his Star Wars work I always wanted to learn swordplay.

by Nasty In The Pasty
Nowadays it's all a shakey-cam blur. Few things thrill me more in a good action movie than a well-choreographed sword duel, and Anderson was the master.

I really am tough, talkbacker or not...
by zinc_chameleon
and I say this is what film can do in the hands of a master. Also...note what Bob Anderson said about the audience following every stroke of the blade (also punch of the fist), it is *essential* in the telling of the story. So, Hollywood, ditch the shaky-cam and blurry motion nonsense, and get back to Errol Flynn and Basil Rathbone telling a story with blades.

A lost art thats getting more and more lost as the years go by...
by Jobacca
I have literally wanted to take fencing lessons since I was 6 years old. NO ONE within 300 miles of where I live teaches swordsmanship of any kind....except for the 300 lbs. "black belt" Chuck Norris wannabes who run a dojo next door to a Blimpies franchise. Like model-makers and matte painters,true fencing masters are on the way out in Hollywood...and the movies will be all the poorer for it. Thanks for the memories Mr. Anderson...at least we still have Nick Gillard!
Jan. 1, 2012, 9:53 p.m. CST
I prefer Nick Gillard's work on the Prequels...
by StarWarsRedux
...but Anderson's stuff is still top-notch. ESB especially.
Didn't know he worked on "The Princess Bride". Good fencing, but too bad Rob Reiner didn't put the same kind of creative effort or ambition into the coverage.
On the LOTR films-- yeah, the fights there are just kind of a mess. Lots of scale and gore, but not a lot of clarity. More than in Nolan's stuff, say, but Jackson's just kind of sloppy when he isn't being terribly sentimental.
Jan. 1, 2012, 9:54 p.m. CST
Watched Princess Bride like, 4 times this week...

...and the duel between Westley and Inigo is awesome each and every time. Also, don't forget the original 'Highlander' as well. RIP Mr. Anderson, and thanks. There can be only one.

Missed a HUGE chance to meet him
by tomservo68
My buddy's parents lived across from him when he was living in Largo Fl part time until he moved about a year or so ago. His interview in Reclaiming the Blade was filmed there.For whatever reason it never worked out,they did take a pic of him at the park clubhouse a few months before he moved. Very sad to hear.

by Fuzzyjefe
was he left-handed? The Westley/Inigo sword-fight is one of the all-time greats. And I'll take the strike-parry simplicity of the lightsaber duels from the OT ahead of any of the Daffy Duck insanity from the PT any day.

RIP Bob Anderson. I love his work on the original Star Wars films and the Martin Campbell(who knows how to actually shoot Anderson's hard work) Zorro films. That being said, inappropriateness aside, themeofme is right. The fights in LOTR are terribly shot and edited. Peter Jackson may be a fan fave, but let's be real. He can't shoot action worth a damn. http://youtu.be/liL5h1OM0Qw

Re: Aren't You Forgetting ...
by ArmageddonProductions
... about his work in fucking HIGHLANDER? You know, that one movie whose central plot device involved dudes cutting off people's heads with SWORDS?!? Also, FYI: Hamill did NOT break the story about Anderson doing all the lightsaber-fighting for "Darth Vader" in the original STAR WARS trilogy, Clancy Brown did in an interview he gave about HIGHLANDER. Apparently, David Prowse was about as good with a sword as he was at acting, and, as it was pointed out, you'll notice Vader loses a few feet in height during all the lightsaber battles in the original trilogy, since Anderson wound up having to it all himself (which means, Prowse's actual contribution to STAR WARS was "standing around" and "occasionally gesturing" in a costume, so he had slightly less to do than Kenny Baker or Peter Mayhew).

This Kills Me
by Darth_AUGUSTUS
It really does. Bob Anderson was a true master at this. And a damn fine gentleman from all reports. All of his choreographed duels are legendary. And most of his felt real, using real western style sword skills. (Which I hope more directors and movie studios go for) Let's face it the only good scene in Die Another Day is because of this man. He made Darth vader the badass that he is. I pray for his family, and hope that someone in the industry will learn from this man and attempt to fill the void.

by kells
Comments focused on Bob Anderson's resting in peace and his contributions to cinema are really the only ones appropriate here. One would think an adult would have no trouble understanding this. I won't even bother to say shame on you, since that is already obvious to anyone with half a brain in this talkback. RIP Bob...as with any true artist, your work has made you immortal.
Jan. 2, 2012, 10:35 a.m. CST
Ironhelix--I agree
by Peter David
I still remember being there opening day for "Empire," when it was all new, and that moment where Luke tagged Vader on the shoulder. Everyone in the theater went, "Whoa!" because he looked like he was turning the tide, which only ratcheted up the horror when about three seconds later his hand was severed. Think about it: Not counting Frodo (since that was in the book) the next time I could recall seeing a hero maimed to that degree on film would be in "How to Train Your Dragon." PAD

Concerning the Lotr fights
by Bostrike1
People who label Jackson as a poor director of action are only seeing what they want to. Look closer at fotr example and youll see a spectacularly filmed brawl between viggo and the head Uruk hai Orc at the end of the film. It's an intense sequence that is filmed to give bobs work breathing room and spell everything out for the audience. Very different than what you get in the larger battles where pj is more interested in creating an environment of chaos than he is in showing the audience the ins and outs of a particular duel. I think bobs work was well represented in Lotr. When two individual characters fought it was always clear what was happening. People just crap on the action because of the larger battle scenes, and in the process overlook wonderful sequences like the duel at the end of fellowship.

Two things about the Empire fight stood out to me.
by Grammaton Cleric Binks
As mentioned when Luke got his hand cut off that was a "what the hell?" moment. Only "bad guys" are supposed to be maimed. Okay, 20 minutes later he has a new hand, and all is well, but we didn't know that was coming. But earlier when Vader got whacked on the shoulder he didnt' lose and arm. Only later after reading the manuals, etc. do we realize the should plate is not just decorative, but armored. Actually three things because what kind of dad cuts his offspring's hand off? The Imperial Department of Children and Family Services won't sit still for this.

themeofme, earn your humility?
by DoctorZoidberg
Stating that your humility needs to be earned shows that you don't understand the definition of humility. Humility, when properly practiced, is intrinsic to your being, and how you view yourself in relation to the world around you. It's about being 'right sized'. Being humbled by another's logic, or other extrinsic circumstance (e.g. a major beating) is not the same thing as having the quality of humility. Now you may have humility, but you haven't shown it here. Who does really in a talkback anyway.
Jan. 2, 2012, 2:13 p.m. CST
HA! re: PAD + Jobacca
by MrMajestic
So that's where you got your idea for Aquaman's losing his hand! BTW That was a great run on that character and Johns will be hard-pressed to match it. P.S. A Filipino Kali weapon salute to a great bladesman. P.P.S. To Jobacca, sorry to hear that bud, growing up in my small town there was a teacher at my high school who taught fencing after school(non-gay). However he was German and taught the German school of fencing. Afterwards when I went to college I took up Aikido and it's sister art Iaido(the art of sword drawing). Now for the last few years I've been training in Pekiti Tirsia Kali(mostly stick, sword and daggers). I'm sure if you look hard enough you'll be able to find a legit trainer. Go online and look up various national associations and see who they have in your region.

Re: Princess Bride...
by Joaquin_Ondamoon
I find it interesting that during the swordfight between Westley and Inigo, the swordmasters and styles of fighting they discuss are all real: Inigo Montoya: You are using Bonetti's Defense against me, ah? Man in Black: I thought it fitting considering the rocky terrain. Inigo Montoya: Naturally, you must suspect me to attack with Capa Ferro? Man in Black: Naturally... but I find that Thibault cancels out Capa Ferro. Don't you? Inigo Montoya: Unless the enemy has studied his Agrippa... which I have. Always wondered how much input Mr. Anderson had to the dialog in that scene, or if was in the original novel.

Jaka...here is the problem with the Obits...
by conspiracy
Roy is just a symptom of a larger problem with AICN Obit writing. Many times due to the powers that be superficial "FanBoy" based knowledge of Film and the Business in general...it is possible that very important people, like Roy Disney, get left off the "Respect" list. I think people keep bringing up Roy for the simple fact it shows the lack of understanding and depth at AICN...that someone who was as instrumental in Disney still being "DISNEY", someone who worked on a personal level to save the dying art form of old school animation while encouraging the Computer based revolution we see today, and who was the last honest to god DISNEY left at the company that is named for and by his Uncle and Father could be given such a lack of respect. Was it because at the end of his career he was a "Suit"? I think many of of us think so...but the problem with that type of simplistic thinking is that it is the SUITS who allow us all to see the films we know and love in the first place. These same SUITS whom people with an overly romanticized view of the movie industry most times deride, often times deserve FAR more respect and admiration than they get from the fanboy community. THAT is why Roy keep being brought up time and again.
Jan. 2, 2012, 4:50 p.m. CST
I researched Roy Disney at the time of his death when everyone had their panties in a bunch
by Jaka
He didn't do all that much to contribute to the film world at large (other than have the last name Disney).
 This is a film site, not a obit site.
 And my comment is still the most valid point on the issue at hand; if somebody wants an obit posted for someone who has passed, write it yourself and send it in. AICN has always been contributor driven. If you don't like what the contributors are supplying, man up and do something about it.
 Shitting out your pointless, childish complaints years later in the obits they DO choose to post does NOTHING to solve the problem (if there ever was on to begin with).

I think the sword fights in the lord of rings
by eric haislar
are fairly realistic. They are not a dance they are messing and deadly. which is what i would assume a real battle would be like.
Jan. 3, 2012, 12:35 p.m. CST
by sfevans
All due respect, but I hate that, "It's not a dance", manifesto apologists have adopted from out of context Batman Begins dialogue to explain the fact that their favorite director can't shoot action. The sword fights in Lester's Three & Four Musketeers weren't dances...in Milius' Conan weren't dances... in Boorman's Excalibur weren't dances. But the viewers always knew exactly what was going on. The fights were exciting, brutal, realistic and surprise, surprise, the audience didn't have to struggle to follow what was going on. Plus it showcased all the hard work craftsmen like Bob Anderson put into choreographing these sequences. Hell, the way Jackson shot and edited most of the fights in LOTR, the actors could have been swinging rubber Nerf weapons around at each other like ten year old's in youtube videos. LOL!
Jan. 3, 2012, 1:36 p.m. CST
by eric haislar
First of all I forgot that line was even in batman begins, but is that not really what fight choreography is? Just a routine you remember be on mark x at such and such time, Perry here, thrust here. All i was saying was in LOTR it does not look or feel that way. It seems sloppy and natural and believable. Now I have not watch rings in a couple years. But I was never once was lost or confused with any fight scene in any of those films. My point was in a real battle fighting with swords would look more like LOTR then Princess Bride. It would be Messy and chaotic as opposed to perfectly timed perrys and thrusts. Not that there is everything wrong with those types of fights on screen. It's just that style of sword fighting really does not suit LOTR.
Jan. 3, 2012, 9:39 p.m. CST
by sfevans
You didn't get the line from Batman Begins? Fair enough. I just hear that justification used all the time. Apologies. I'm not saying that the LOTR fights should look like highly choreographed fencing. You're right, they shouldn't. I'm just saying that Jackson shot the fights with so many close ups and used so many quick cuts that it would suggest that he doesn't know how to shoot an action scene. So he hides it by shaking the camera around and cutting every 15 or so frames. He's creating a false sense of chaotic action by disorienting the audience, not by proper framing and editing. A cheat in my opinion.

It would be interesting to know the "criteria" you idiots use to choose who gets an obit or not
by Damned if I can login
No disrepect to Mr. Anderson (RIP sir), but you folks should just STOP with the obit crap since you seem to have some bizarro-alien method of selecting who gets mentioned and who doesn't. It's even worse when every legitimate news outlet reports an obit you folks should've been all over. I mean, you fragwads snubbed Harry Morgan and that reason alone justifies this rant. Of all the snubs you're guilty of, that one takes the cake. May *all* of you be locked in steam room with the Village People....
Jan. 4, 2012, 12:21 p.m. CST
Lang - good list, especially since you include Jean Heremans!
by Damned if I can login
JH was the fencing coach (and he did the fencing stunts) on what many consider the ultimate fencing picture, Scaramouche, with Stewart Grainger and Mel Ferrar. Although Grainger and Ferrar did some cool stunts themselves...Grainger did the swing from the stage to the upper level booth, and Ferrar actually did the jumping around from balcony to balcony (while fencing, of course).

Even though it's a little out of place in a Bond movie. I've always admired the fencing scene (a la The Quiet Man fight scene). Now I know why. REALLY, no Harry Morgan obit, yet. WOW. Two of the most popular series of all time, and he worked with all the greats Fonda, Stewart, Ford, Cooper, Wayne, Brando, Tracy, Scott, etc. C'mon.

Miksang, at its most basic level, is concerned with uncovering the truth of pure perception. We see something vivid and penetrating, and in that moment we can express our perception without making anything up—nothing added, nothing missing.
This introductory class will use talks, discussion, and practice in training students. A working knowledge of a digital camera is necessary, but students need not have extensive photography skills for this training. Tools needed: a digital camera and a thumb drive. A laptop is useful, but not required.

The Earth's Atmosphere
|The Earth is surrounded by a blanket of air called the atmosphere. The atmosphere is made up of various gases that act as a protective shield for the Earth and allow life to exist. Without it, we would be burned by the intense heat of the sun during the day or frozen by the very low temperatures at night.
|More than three quarters of the atmosphere is made up of nitrogen and most of the rest is oxygen. However it is the remaining 1%, a mixture of carbon dioxide, water vapour and ozone, that not only produces important weather features such as cloud and rain, but also has considerable influence on the overall climate of the Earth,through mechanisms such as the greenhouse effect and global warming. (Stay with us and we'll learn more about the changing climate in a later section!)
|The atmosphere consists of five layers, held around the planet by the force of gravity. As you move upwards through the layers, atmospheric pressure decreases rapidly with height and the air temperature also changes. It is these, more complicated, changes in temperature which are used to divide the atmosphere into the layers described below.
|Above a height of about 500km is the exosphere, a layer where the atmosphere merges into space. Satellites are stationed in this area, 500km to 1000km from Earth.
|The thermosphere is the fourth layer in the atmosphere, between 80km and 110km above the Earth. Space shuttles fly in this area and it is also where the aurora lights are found. Auroras are wispy curtains of light caused when the sun strikes gases in the atmosphere above the Poles.
|Beyond the stratosphere the air is very thin and cold. This area is known as the mesosphere, and is found between 50km and 80km above the Earths surface.
|The stratosphere is the second layer of air above the Earths surface and extends to a height of 50km. It is here that we find the ozone layer. The ozone layer absorbs much of the suns harmful radiation that would otherwise be dangerous to plant and animal life.
|The troposphere is the layer closest to the Earth, approximately 11km high. Weather occurs only in the troposphere because it is this layer that contains most of the water vapour. Weather is the way water changes in the air, and so without water there would be no clouds, rain, snow or other weather features.
|The troposphere is an unstable layer where the air is constantly moving. As a result, aircraft flying through the troposphere may have a very bumpy ride what we know as turbulence. You may have experienced this when flying before! Because of this turbulence, most jet airlines fly higher above the Earth in the stratosphere. Here the air is more still and clear as they can fly above the clouds.
Although the atmosphere extends to a height of 1000km, it is nevertheless still very important for life on the surface of the Earth. This is because of something known as air pressure, which we will learn more about on the next page.

Recommendation for Surprise Birthday Dinner in SF
Hi all, we are visiting SF (from NY) later in the year to celebrate my husband's 40th birthday. I'm inviting a few west coast friends to join us for a little surprise dinner party. I would love your recommendations for good group dining in SF.
We love good food in unpretentious settings - Italian is a favorite. For points of reference, we've had good success with similar dinners at Lupa and Blue Ribbon here in NY.
Thanks in advance.
re: OnceUponABite
Years ago (before I moved), Antica was my favorite Italian restaurant. I loved their bolognese. Very friendly staff.
I also recommend Incanto, Pane e Vino and Bacco.
You should try Luella in Russian Hill, at the corner of Hyde and Green. The food is great, the decor is fun and modern and most importantly the staff is very personalble. I am throwing a privite party there is September and they have been nothing but helpful. Another great point is if you don't want to rent the entire place they have a nice back area that isn't seperated from the dinning room that you could reserve, I would guess that 10-25 guest would fill it up. Check it out and good luck!
Thanks so much for the suggestions. After scouring the board and talking with friends, I've looked into Incanto, Delfina, Luella, Aziza, Rue St. Jacques. They all look wonderful. But the truth is, each reminds me of restaurants I know in NY.
So I'm now wondering if there is a more unique SF experience I should be pursuing. Thoughts?
We went to Incanto with friends from New York who have been to all the Italian places there and they didn't find it very similar to home. I imagine the same would be true for Delfina. New York just doesn't have the produce to do that sort of Chez Panisse-influenced Italian.
Incanto's back room is great if you have 12 or more.
re: Robert Lauriston
That's very helpful - thanks.
re: Robert Lauriston
But its unpretentious and good, which is what this group is looking for.
re: Sixy
> I think i would have been really upset for the rest of my life
> it I'd spent my 4oth at Suppenkuche
For my 40th, I planned my own food extravaganza, so I know what you're saying. BUT, in this case, I think we have to trust the poster to know her husband's tastes and/or know how to deal with the fallout. ;-)
re: Jefferson
agreed - but although casual, I don't think suppenkuche fits the "italian in the vein of Lupa" that the OP requested.
I didnt like Suppenkuche at all when I visited but a German friend has told me it has recently improved a lot so I will give it another try. It's all big portions and beer and noise. Communal beer-drinking from a boot-sized glass, that kind of thing. OP - is that to your husband's taste?
for the record i went to Babbo in NYC for my own 40th.
If you want a really unique experience try a fairly new restaurant: Bushi-Tei,1638 Post St.(at Luguna near Fillmore)SF 94115, tel: 415-440-4959. It's Asian-fusian (French) and rates right up there with Gary Danko. If you can afford it try the chef's special tasting menu about $85.00 per person. I've never had such a sublime, exquisite dinner. On the menu alacarte runs from about $14. to $34.(for Kobe beef). It looks like a store front from outside, but is really lovely inside with very friendly service and a very talented chef. I hope you get to enjoy it, a truly remarkable experience.
re: Robert Lauriston
Wine list is not so important. Our friends are the guzzling variety of wine drinkers, so we'll be sticking to value wines!
I love Zuni but it didn't rock my husband's world when he went there last year.
I'm intrigued by Bushi-Tei - thanks for the recommendation. I will look into it.
re: evangross
I agree, Zuni's tops. And it definitely has Italian tendencies.
re: Robert Lauriston
Why does everyone in SF send everyone from the rest of the world to Zuni Cafe? Do they have a great "kickback" program?
re: gettinfat
No. Zuni is simply a great restaurant to a lot of people. Feel free to disagree, many do.
re: gettinfat
I recommend it because it's one of my favorite restaurants. I've had dozens of great meals there, never had a bad time.
I think it depends if you are looking for food that will be certain to rock your husband's world (if Zuni didn't) versus an overall group dining experience with solid (and quite possibly fantastic) food and a warm neighborhood feel to facilitate the group dining experience. This board has plenty of guidance on food that will rock his world. I think Gary Danko is the most casual of the top-end spots but I haven't been to Bushi-Tei. Gary Danko has a private room. On the neighborhood piece, I ate at Blue Ribbon or Blue Ribbon Bakery the last few times I was in New York and (of course) LOVED my meals. But I am open to hearing about those lesser-known neighborhood spots that may or may not be better than anything I can find at home but would offer a view into local life coupled with a solid dining experience. If that's your direction I am thinking: Firefly (Noe Valley), Liberty Cafe (Bernal Heights), Delfina (Mission), Isa or Bistro Aix or A16 (Marina), Trattoria Antica (Russian Hill), Eos (Cole Valley), Cafe Kati or Acquarello (opposite ends of lower Pacific Heights area) and, yes, Zuni. Isa has a great patio, good for group dining and guzzling. There are scores of other great options in these categories.
re: rockridgechow
Delfina all the way! I've only been there once, but Liberty cafe is very small and the chicken pot pie is made with frozen peas, and sauce is pure roux. I need to give it another chance in the future, maybe they were having an off night.
Isa is a good one, not pretentious, great food, and a good area in the back patio for a party. The "large" small plates make ordering and sharing easy. In fact the last time I was there I saw a birthday party.
If you want Italian A16 has an outdoor heated patio that is great for parties too. Eating outside never feels pretentious. Here's the link to a post about a birthday party at A16
re: AmySherman
I think the chef at A16 left a few months ago, so you may want to look for recent information on the food.
re: reneesf
It hasn't changed significantly. The new chef, Nate Appleman, is the old #2 and was all set to be chef at a second restaurant when Christophe Hille left.
SF Hounds - thank you so much for the attention to my post. All the chat has made me excited for our trip to SF. Clearly, we can expect some good eats.
As for the birthday dinner, I can tell you that Delfina is ruled out. They don't take parties larger than 6. Slanted Door (which no one here suggested but everyone I know who has visited SF seems to think is terrific) is out too - they are booked already.
I innocently asked my husband what he liked/ disliked about our prior party at Lupa. He said that the food was excellent, of course, and the wine, but that being at a long table in the middle of the dining room made conversation kind of hard. So I think a private dining area is key and family style meal would be good too. That way, people can switch seats, get up and chat and mingle a bit more.
Anyway, thanks again for the ideas and comments. I do appreciate them!!
Hi all, just wanted to let you know that we selected Incanto for the dinner party. Now we just have to decide whether to do the whole beast or not. And decide which wines to get. Decisions, decisions. . . .
Thanks again for your terrific recommendations. We hope to get to a few of the other restaurants while we're in town too.

In many cases, you do not need to change your usual procedures to manage your PAYE responsibilities for employees who are taking holiday.
However, if you pay employees' holiday pay in advance or if you use certain holiday pay schemes there may be different steps to follow for PAYE tax and National Insurance contributions (NICs).
This guide tells you how to work out and record the correct amount of PAYE tax and NICs on payments of holiday pay to your employees.
On this page:
If you pay your employees on their normal payday(s) when they are on holiday, carry on deducting, recording and reporting PAYE tax and NICs in the normal way. You do not need to do anything differently.
If you pay an employee their holiday pay in advance, so that they receive two or more weeks' pay in one week, followed by one or more weeks with no payment from you, you should account for PAYE tax in the following way.
If your employee is on a cumulative tax code, calculate and record the PAYE tax due using the free pay for the last week in which no pay is received.
For example, if an employee is on holiday in weeks 16 and 17 and the wages for those weeks are paid in week 15, together with the pay for week 15, PAYE tax should be calculated on the holiday pay using week 17. You must report the payment on the Full Payment Submission (FPS) in the week you make the payment. For the 'Number of earnings period(s) covered by payment' on your FPS, you should enter '3'.
If your employee's code is non-cumulative or Week 1/Month 1, divide their holiday pay equally between each full week of their holiday and work out the PAYE tax separately for each week. You should report the payment on an FPS in the week that you make the payment.
If your employee will be leaving or retiring straight after their holiday, then work out the PAYE tax due on their holiday pay using the free pay for the week in which you pay it to them. You should report the payment on an FPS in the week that you make the payment.
There are special NICs procedures to follow if your employee receives their holiday pay in advance. You can calculate the NICs due on the holiday pay using either of the following two methods.
Method A: Split the payment and work out NICs due separately on each week's earnings.
Method B: Work out the NICs on the whole sum based on the number of weeks it represents. Round up parts of a week. You can't use this method for employees who are paid monthly, or for holiday pay that is paid through the types of special scheme outlined in the next section.
For examples of these methods, and what to do if further earnings are paid because the employee doesn't take their holiday, is required to attend their place of work during the holiday period or where additional earnings are due to be paid during the holiday period, see Chapter 2 of CWG2 at the link below.
Go to CWG2 - Employer Further Guide to PAYE and NICs
If you operate any of the following holiday pay schemes, make sure you include the correct amounts in your employees' gross pay when calculating PAYE tax and NICs.
If an employee voluntarily sets aside some of their pay during the year and you return it to them later as holiday pay - for example, at Christmas or their annual leave - you should include the amount set aside in the employee's gross pay at the time it is set aside. This applies for your calculations of both PAYE tax and NICs.
Under a holiday credit scheme, you set aside money from your employees' pay each payday and then pay it in a lump sum when they take their holidays. If your employees:
In both cases, the figures must be included in their payroll record and sent to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) in your FPS when you report your payroll information.
These schemes involve employers contributing to an independently managed
central fund which then pays out employees' holiday pay. They were
typically used by companies that only employed people for a few weeks
at a time and where those employees had little hope of building up
a pot of 'holiday pay' for periods when absent on leave such as during
the 'summer fortnight' shutdown.
Employment laws now oblige an employer to give employees paid time off so the use of such schemes is now much restricted.
Money paid into and out of these funds was previously disregarded from the calculation of earnings from NICs for employers and employees personally involved in construction operations. This NICs disregard was withdrawn from 30 October 2012, so from 31 October 2012 all payments of holiday pay must be included in gross pay for the purposes of calculating NICs liability.
For PAYE tax purposes, include the cost of holiday pay stamps or credits in gross pay only if the fund you use hasn't been approved by HMRC.
If the fund has been approved, you can disregard these costs, as well as any holiday payments to your employees that the fund makes. This is because approved funds already deduct tax from their payments to employees.

Israel's ultra-Orthodox suddenly are outsiders
By Aron Heller, AP, Mar 12, 2013
JERUSALEM (AP)—As Israel's new government takes shape, the country's powerful ultra-Orthodox Jewish political parties seem poised to find themselves in unfamiliar territory—the parliamentary opposition—instead of their traditional seats around the Cabinet table.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's two new potential partners pledge to end a system in which the ultra-Orthodox have used political clout to win generous government subsidies, evade compulsory military service and attempt to impose their conservative social mores.
Nothing is certain yet. Netanyahu is still negotiating, and he has not yet signed coalition agreements with the two main parties—the centrist Yesh Atid and hawkish Jewish Home.
If his new government excludes the ultra-Orthodox parties, it could reshape the face of Israel, which has experienced growing strife in recent years between the fast-growing ultra-Orthodox community and the general public.
Ultra-Orthodox party leaders are vowing to put up a fight.
The ultra-Orthodox make up about 10 percent of Israel's 8 million citizens. Because of Israel's coalition government system, they have traditionally wielded influence well beyond their numbers by ensuring a parliamentary majority for a string of prime ministers.
In recent decades, ultra-Orthodox parties have used this kingmaker status to secure vast budgets for their religious schools and seminaries that teach students about Judaism but very little math, English or science. Tens of thousands of young ultra-Orthodox males are granted exemptions from military service in order to pursue their religious studies, and older men collect welfare stipends while continuing to study full time.
The system has led to high rates of unemployment and poverty in the ultra-Orthodox community. It also has bred widespread resentment among the secular and modern Orthodox publics, and it became the central issue in January parliamentary elections.
Yesh Atid and the modern Orthodox Jewish Home surged in popularity by promising to change the system and "ease the burden" on middle class Israelis who serve in the military, work and pay taxes. Yesh Atid won 19 seats, making it the second-largest faction in the 120-seat parliament, while Jewish Home holds 12 seats.
Yesh Atid's leader, Yair Lapid, and Naftali Bennett of the Jewish Home have forced Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to promise the ultra-Orthodox will not be in the new coalition.
Both leaders insist on reforming the country's military draft regulations and on pushing members of the cloistered ultra-Orthodox society into the workforce and away from a life of state handouts.
Lapid, whose parliamentary faction includes two modern Orthodox rabbis, has said he does not oppose religion or the religious. Instead, he says all healthy adults should work, and that it is not the government's responsibility to subsidize full-time religious study.
Demographics indicate that ultra-Orthodox will maintain their power in the long run.
More than a quarter of all Israeli first-graders are ultra-Orthodox. Government statistics have projected that if these trends continue, the ultra-Orthodox could make up 15 percent of the country's population by 2025.
Ultra-Orthodox activists have become increasingly assertive, pushing for gender-segregated buses and sidewalks, defacing billboards showing women, or trying to force women to dress modestly.
Ultra-Orthodox leaders say their communities are being unfairly persecuted. They say their young men serve the nation through prayer and study, thus preserving Jewish learning and heritage. Many rabbis fear immersion in mainstream society will expose them to secularism and cut away at a distinct lifestyle that has kept the Jewish people alive through centuries of persecution.
Yair Sheleg, an expert on religious Jews at the nonpartisan Israel Democracy Institute, says change is inevitable in ultra-Orthodox society, not because the new government will force it, but because the society itself is changing. He said many members, especially among the young, pushing toward more integration.
The tide has already begun to turn. In 2011, for instance, 55 percent of ultra-Orthodox women and 45 percent of the men held jobs, up from 48 percent and 33 percent respectively nine years earlier, according to Israel's central bank and its central bureau of statistics. The numbers, while still far below the national average of around 80 percent, show the community is far from the homogenous mass viewed by outsiders.
The prospect of a more secular government is raising hopes among mainstream Israelis.
"There are rare moments in which it is all right to gloat," Maariv newspaper columnist Ben-Dror Yemini wrote Tuesday. "After the abuse that has continued for too many years and which threatened to destroy us, the whining by the ultra-Orthodox leaders provide us with precisely such an opportunity."

Tom Hardy to go into stealth mode for 'Splinter Cell' adaptation
The 'Inception' and 'Dark Knight Rises' star is attached to the Tom Clancy video game flick
By Corwin Neuse Nov 15, 2012 9:10AM
After hiding his nose, mouth and chin throughout most of "The Dark Knight Rises," Tom Hardy is now set to obscure the other half of his face with comically large night-vision goggles through most of "Splinter Cell," the upcoming adaptation of Tom Clancy's Ubisoft video game.
Though the project doesn't yet have studio backing, Hardy's presence on the project can only help it secure funding in the future, whether that comes through traditional sources or independent financiers. Though it remains to be seen whether the charismatic Hardy is really a true box office draw—"Warrior," "Lawless," and "This Means War" all underperformed, or outright bombed—his career remains on an undeniable upward trajectory, thanks to celebrated supporting roles in "Inception" and, uh, that other thing he did.
Will "Splinter Cell" and "Mad Max: Fury Road" launch Hardy's second career as a legitimate box office star? Or will he forever be doomed to high-profile supporting roles as a much-sought "character actor?" Moreover, is a "Splinter Cell" movie even a good idea? Can film as a medium even contain the excitement of waiting anxiously in the dark for the right moment to pop into action, failing, getting shot and killed, and then hitting the reset button? As always, leave your thoughts in the comments...

Robert Downey Jr. releases statement on son's drug arrest
Robert Downey Jr. has issued a statement following his oldest son's arrest in Hollywood last night for possession of cocaine.
Robert Downey Jr. has released a statement following his son's recent arrest for cocaine possession.
The 'Iron Man 3' actor - who has famously battled with addiction in the past and was arrested numerous times in the 1990s on drug-related charges - believes his oldest child Indio, 20, ''likely inherited'' his weakness for substance abuse, but will hopefully overcome his issues.
Robert, 49, told Us Magazine: ''Unfortunately there's a genetic component to addiction and Indio has likely inherited it. There is a lot of family support and understanding, and we're all determined to rally behind him and help him become the man he's capable of being.
''We're grateful to the Sheriff's department for their intervention, and believe Indio can be another recovery success story instead of a cautionary tale.''
Indio was arrested in West Hollywood last night (29.06.14) when police noticed he was smoking something out of a pipe in a car he was a passenger in.
A Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputy pulled the vehicle over and allegedly found cocaine in Indio's possession.
The youngster was booked for possession of cocaine and released from jail after posting $10,000 bail.
Meanwhile, this isn't the first time Indio has found himself caught up in drugs as he was reportedly admitted to a rehab facility last October for prescription pill abuse.
However, his mother Deborah Falconer - who was married to Robert from 1992 until 2004 - told the National Enquirer magazine at the time that her son ''was not addicted'' and was ''taking one pill a day.''

The goal seems to have been to create a multilayered thriller, but the senseless, verbose and convoluted saga never generates simple suspense, let alone tension.
Bloom is the giant void at the center of the film, and his laughable histrionics pull Haven firmly into camp territory.
The presence in the ensemble of Orlando Bloom, who also serves as a producer, could be an initial enticement, but his performance is one of the weakest in a mixed bag.
An ineffective experiment about ugly things happening in a beautiful place.
Writer/director Frank E. Flowers loses track of his own narrative puzzle that includes a story about a shady but rich Floridian (Bill Paxton) with an 18-year-old daughter (Agnes Bruckner %u2013 "Blue Car") escaping to Grand Cayman from the feds who want t
What the film lacks in dramatic depth it makes up for in its visuals, which keep viewer attention even when the story drags.
The audience just has to work a little too hard to see through the bad editing to the Haven that lies beneath, no matter how interesting and promising that movie may be.
Flowers' manic style...leaves little room to consider what is actually going on beyond all the eye candy and sensory numbing.
By the time this quasi Robert Altman-like meeting of unrelated characters happens -- and even if the viewer has kept track of all the characters -- it's hard to care about much of anything, other than knowing the film is nearly over.
[Director Frank E.] Flowers is clearly talented, with an eye for local color, but grasp of character and psychology is tenuous, and his roundabout, double-back structure quickly grows tiresome and annoying...
Flowers's directorial debut is sometimes a little hard to follow, but shows genuine concern and hope for his native land.
The tone is moody and bleak, the characters are petty jackasses, and Flowers' heavy-handed messages about colonialism are trite.
An extraordinary directorial debut that just may knock your socks off, or at least your flip-flops. ... Though Flowers may be accused of sensationalizing his subject, there's no denying his stunning cinematic flourishes.
Likely to leave you scratching your head--not merely because the plot's so hard to follow but because you'll be wondering why anybody thought it was worth making.
Lacking purpose or thoughtful complexity, Flowers' film is an overly ambitious mess.
[Director Frank] Flowers seems more interested in playing with narrative chronology than developing an emotionally and thematically coherent storyline populated by multi-dimensional characters.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My school is great The children learn so much, teachers are great.If you are lucky to get in you will love the school.
Nothing short of wonderful! Very pleased! There 2 years with currently 6, 8 and 11 year olds. Nothing but good to say about the wonderful teachers between PK4 and 5th grade. I wish they had a language, but in the grand scheme of things, that is minimal.
Noah Webster Microsociety Magnet School is an excellent school. My kids ages 12 and 4 have excelled since enrolled. This is the second year for my youngest. She started in PK3 and this year is in PK4. She has matured and grown tremendously since she attends the school. My oldest started this year after a bad experience in a different magnet school. Noah Webster is the best thing that have have happened to us as a family. We live in Plainville and commute everyday to give them the opportunity to attend the TOP school in Hartford. H switched schools and was failing due to not completing homework. The teachers communicated inmediately and we were able to work as a team to get him focused in school work. After a few months his grade improved to the point he is now is in the Honor Roll and was promoted to the honors class. My family LOVES Noah Webster!
Hi, I am looking to sent my daughter Molly ,She is going into 5th at Griswold in Berlin, And I want to know how to get her on the list? Thanks Lucia Fortin 8609668956
Noah Webster has excellent teachers, strong academics, and a principal who deals with issues effectively and humanely, without violating privacy. Mrs. Cole rocks!
Noah Webster has wonderful teachers! My children love coming to school here, and receive great special education assistance. On the other hand the Administrative aspect of this school is lacking. On numerous occasions I have witnessed and had my own child's safety questioned. Please remember that this school is located in Hartford, and while most of the students are respectable, not all are. The Principle, Mrs. Cole is more concerned with the public image of the school to notice the chaos that surrounds the upper classmen. I think that school would be Wonderful all around if there was an Administrative change. I Too, question whether my children will still be attending this school in the fall.
The teachers in this school are wonderful, but because of the administration, morale is terrible among teachers and parents. There is absolutely no line of communication from the administration to parents. Teacher positions are also being cut...particularly in the middle school where there are troublesome behavioral problems. It is unfortunate that this is happening to such a wonderful school with such dedicated teachers.
The school is excellent and the teachers work very hard to make the students excel. I am very satisfied as a parent.
I believe the teachers in this school are awesome ,that being said the administration leaves much to be desired.As a parent of children that will soon will be withdrawn from this school it saddens me that these teachers have to work under rules that prevent them from giving the kids the education and attention they deserve.I hope the school gets rid of the principal,dean of students,and others who follow her and maybe then the school can be the place it can be.For now i would not recommend any parent to send their child to such a sad excuse of a school
This school is fantastic! They have the best teachers and all the students live it. My daughter has been going there since pre-school and she has not once complained about it.She loves all her teachers. She is now a 7th grader there and still loves it. If you live in CT near Hartford and your looking for a school for your child, Noah Webster is the way to go!
I believe the teachers are well knowledgeable and really take time out to help each child achieve. My kindergarter is reading very fluently and she continues to amaze me everyday with the new experiencees she has each day at school. So I believe Noah Webster is a very good school.
I love Noah Webster School. As a parent from the suburbs who drives her children in every day, every second of the commute is worth it for the quality education they receive. My kindergartner is reading fluently. My second grader has become a model student after a rocky start in his elementary education at another school. I find the staff very responsive and extremely sensitive to the needs of my children. I can not begin to express in 150 words all the fantastic experiences I have had at Noah Webster.
This school is filled with amazing teachers. But as a involved parent there, I was able to see they lacked the support from their principal. I withdrew my children and would not recommend this school, as it is unsafe. Free preschool is tempting but not in those conditions. They need a real leader to support and follow through with the needs of the children and staff.
This school is going downhill since the old principal, Mr. Burr, left. This school also doesn't envolve the 7th and 8th grade in with what the rest of the school is doing. They leave them out of concerts, and other activities.
Noah Webster provides quality eduacation. It also beats paying the high price of private schooling and the kids recieve the same great results.I love going to pick up my son and seeing all the children in their uniforms. I wish to have my child continue his eduacation until it's time to graduate to high school!
In my opinion I think that Noah Webster is a great school. Their curriculum is excellent and they are extremely focused on the advancement of the students. In addition Mr Burr who is the principal of the school is very open to parrents and is always willing to help out in any way he can.

Does the noise law apply to motorcylicsts?
Chief John Orzech provided the following answer:
"The vehicles with muffler issues get pulled over because the exhaust isn't working or has excessive noise because of a faulty motor," he said. "Motorcycles generally don't have faulty exhausts so there wouldn't be a violation under this law."
He also provided a section from the Ohio Revised Code provided to this issue:
(a) Every motor vehicle and motorcycle with an internal combustion engine shall at all times be equipped with a muffler which is in good working order and in constant operation to prevent excessive or unusual noise, and no person shall use a muffler cutout, by-pass or similar device upon a motor vehicle on a highway. Every motorcycle muffler shall be equipped with baffle plates
(b) No person shall own, operate or have in the person's possession any motor vehicle or motorcycle equipped with a device for producing excessive smoke or gas, or so equipped as to permit oil or any other chemical to flow into or upon the exhaust pipe or muffler of such vehicle, or equipped in any other way to produce or emit smoke or dangerous or annoying gases from any portion of such vehicle, other than the ordinary gases emitted by the exhaust of an internal combustion engine under normal operation.
(c) Whoever violates this section is guilty of a minor misdemeanor.
You should be able to find a reference on the AMA website. As for your moped remark, in putting in 4 times the national average number of miles per year, I laugh I ride past loud pipes types kind cowering under an overpass on the freeway because of a little rain.
You all sound like a bunch of old farts.......is it's to loud your to old.
What an IDIOTIC RESPONSE from the so-called chief. Motorcycles are allowed to be excessively loud because he thinks their exhaust is working.
Every motor vehicle and motorcycle with an internal combustion engine shall at all times be equipped with a muffler which is in good working order and in constant operation to prevent excessive or unusual noise, "
the chief's interpretation is IDIOTIC. To say that excessive noise is ONLY ILLEGAL IF THE EXHAUST IS BROKEN is a MORONIC interpretation and WRONG.
In order for a muffler to BE IN GOOD WOAKING ORDER it MUST PREVENT EXCESSIVE NOISE.
The HARLEY SCUM who enjoy harassing decent people BUY MUFFLERS ADVERTISED TO MAXIMIZE NOISE. When the WINDOWS ON THE HOUSE RATTLE from the EXCESSIVE NOISE from a WORKING MUFFLER designed to do that it is ILLEGAL EXCESSIVE NOISE'
Lemme guess, the CHIEF is one of those HARLEY SCUM with loud mufflers?
It's pretty simple - it's a question of the burden of proof. You can equip officers with sound meters and get them trained and certified in measuring sound levels, then retrained and recertified every year, and then have their credentials questioned in court in a battle of expert witnesses, OR you can go for the open and shut case that the exhaust does not conform to the well documented factory spec.
It's a numbers game. What's it going to cost, how many officers will it take, and how many convictions/fines will you get for that investment? It's the same reason we have DUI checkpoint dragnets - you can snare a few people at 0.08, collect fines, and achieve a mild general deterrent for the borderline people, and it costs a lot less than achieving a high patrol density and spotting actual drivers at risk with 0.25 or more.
This is gonna hurt, so don't read this if you're weak minded (I suspect you are). First, you have to throttle down (pun intended) on the CAPS LOCK KEY, we get it, you mean business. Harley Scum? Really? My guess is that you could not come close to affording the $26,000 Harley I ride nor the $500,000 house I own in a nice community in Perkins Township, but that's another matter altogether. I digress. Fact is, most of you pathetic, miserable, low self-esteem, insulting haters don't own a bike nor have you ever owned one. To illustrate my original point about loud pipes saving lives, you have repeatedly griped about the windows shaking, from 5 miles away (lol) and if that sort of noise wouldn't get a driver's attention, then I don't know what would. Lastly, you should appreciate my and your rights to have such options of owning a piece of American history and having the freedoms to do so. Our freedoms have steadily been lessened since 2008 and we may have a day where that's not possible. Put the computer down and go drink some alcohol and loosen your knickers old chap, it'll be okay.
rezzy, get over yourself - this isn't about hating bikers. It's about CERTAIN bikers who feel the need to inspire ill will, probably because their mommies and daddies didn't pay enough attention to them when they were young.
I remember once going past the ABATE booth at the Motorcycle Show, and having a bunch of Willie Nelson wannabe scumbags saying I'd wish I should thank them for fighting so I wouldn't be banned from restaurants, etc. I replied that I'd never had any problems because I rode. They then said "Well, yeah, people probably respect YOU, looking all clean cut like that," to which I responded, "Well, then, maybe it's NOT the about the BIKE, but about YOU."
Studies have shown that loud pipes don't enhance safety, but being VISUALLY loud does. Drivers maintain a greater separation distance from riders wearing high visibility gear. Modern car cabins and sound systems are more than capable of rendering drivers unaware of the loudest pipes until they are too close to take evasive action. The lowest rates of accidents per mile ridden are for types of bikes that don't sport loud pipes.
For some of us, a bike is a vehicle, not a piece of rolling costume jewelry intended to compensate for perceived personal inadequacies. Why would you boast about paying $26K for the best technology the 1950's had to offer? Louyd pipes won't save you, and chrome won't get you home.
$26,000 harley, $ 500,000 house in perkins ? hahhahhahah
Practically every category that contributes materially to noise pollution has had to do something about it. Truck tires were even modified to make them quieter and certain types are now illegal.
Certain types of motorcycles are in a class by themselves - really, really loud, ON PURPOSE.
Re: "TboneWalkerJr

I'd love to thrown down a gallon of motor oil in front of some harley scumbag compensating for his tiny manhood with loud pipes".
I would hope that your comment is a "troll" comment and not your true feelings.
If that is your solution then you are dooshion with the wrong solution.
The same reason we have to wear seatbelts in cars but yet motorcyclists don't have to wear helmets, if I ever get pulled over for a seatbelt violation it will go to court, its discrimination. Its ok for motorcyclists to choose a possible life sentence by not wearing a helmet with NO protection around them.....Makes no sense!
The seatbelt law has withstood challenges because the state claimed, by naked assertion with NO supporting evidence, that being seatbelted could help a driver maintain control of a vehicle that didn't bleed all its velocity in the first impact. That's a ludicrous proposition especially in the day of the airbag (try maintaining control after a bomb goes off in your face) and pretty much negates any rationale for the law enforcement exception to the seatbelt law, but apparently, the challengers weren't prepared to counter that.

Chief Orzech's response was completely appropriate and I applaud him for answering a question that would inflame the only five or six people in Sandusky that have a problem with his answer. While all of you are asserting that bikers are scum, you fail to realize that 99% of bikers are vets, law enforcement and every day patriots who fully support the police departments and respect the law. Grow up people and understand that your hatred is yours and shared only by a tiny fraction of the people. Most bikers have done countless activities to raise funds for fallen officers, children, cancer organizations, etc... Have you?
500K neighborhood in Perkins? Maybe in 2008 you paid that for your place but it is not worth anything near that now. By the way, why not let all the bikers know where this neighborhood is so that they can cruise around it. Some people that I know in the Chesapeake see the same bikes racing down the pier up to 10 times in an evening. Have you ever sat down at the Jackson St. Pier and watched the 5 or 6 pathetic guys ride up and down the pier revving their bikes up for attention. Oh and you can't forget the sad old man revving up his black Mustang. I doubt it because if you did you would feel pretty foolish suggesting that all people who ride bikes are great. As far as your 26k bike...... try trading it in. I bet they wouldn't offer more than 10K.
ha ha
And Rezzy says:
Funny how Rezzy got so quiet all of a sudden.
Harleys aren't that loud off the shelf. They pull the baffles out to make them that way. One can do it to a Honda or a Yamaha if they so desire.

Obscure Pregnancy Facts that your Doctor may not Tell you About
It's just a fact about being human - people have an insatiable appetite for information on pregnancy. No matter where you turn, there are sources of information aimed at this area of enduring human interest - TV shows, dozens of Internet websites, books, pamphlets, and seminars too, if all this disembodied information doesn't do it for you. But you know what - armed with all of this and more, there still are areas that haven't been adequately explored, and there are spots in the pregnancy experience that can take any parent by surprise. Some of these will be a pleasant surprise, and some of them could get you in trouble with your boss. If your doctor doesn't tell you about these pregnancy facts, it could be because most expecting mothers don't necessarily experience them. But if you happen to be one of the lucky few, this list of obscure pregnancy facts is where you turn.
Have you ever looked at a couple of happy chirping birds building a nest or a chicken heaping straw together - and wondered at how nature could give happy birds the instinct to prepare so thoroughly for their little chicks? You don't have to worry about being left out - would you be surprised to know that you as an expectant mother are no different? It doesn't happen to every woman - just some; but as the final couple of weeks happen to draw close, expectant mothers will often find an inescapable urge to prepare and clean their homes. You'll find yourself folding, scrubbing, drying and stacking. You don't have to worry about it - it's just the nesting urge. And if it shows up in you, have fun with it while it lasts. When else in life can you expect that you'll really enjoy cleaning and organizing your home - or feeling a real kinship to little birds?
Among the pregnancy facts we will be bringing up here, there's one that could get you into a spot of trouble at the office. Women who battle morning sickness and a fuzzy mind have a tough enough time dealing with their lives without thinking about a deadline at work; but even the lucky ones among us who don't experience these can begin to uncharacteristically completely forget things, or lapse into daydreaming. It could be pleasant enough, if you didn't have irritable coworkers to deal with. And it can happen at home too when you forget to lock the front door, or to turn off the stove. That's why expectant mothers have such protected lives.
The kind of things we will be talking about next will make you wonder if it's really all worth it. If some women, the body can react to a pregnancy with outbreaks of varicose veins. This is what happens with the hormones that course through your system when you're pregnant They dilate your veins all over and cause blood to stagnate in the veins in your legs. You probably see the back of this problem the moment you give birth, but until then, bulging veins, and occasionally hemorrhoids too can be quite disturbing. Make sure that you don't stand for extended periods of time. You can also use a hemorrhoids cream and of course, drink plenty of fluids to keep your digestive system on track.
The act of giving birth isn't for anyone with a weak stomach. It is truly a messy situation that you have in the labor room - there is the water breaking and all the blood and sliminess involved of course, but you can also expect flatulence, peeing, or losing control of your bowels right there in your labor bed - in addition to the other embarrassing stuff seeping out of you. Some women tend to get nauseated by it all. It just goes to show you how thin the veneer of self-control is that we all carry ourselves around with. There is a reward for being brave enough about all of it. It'll be the baby in your arms. Of all the pregnancy facts that you'll ever come across this is the one inescapably sweet one.

KATIE HOLMES looks glam and gorgeous in her new ad for Bobbi Brown Cosmetics.
See for yourself:
The brunette beauty, who finalized her divorce from Tom Cruise almost five months ago, appears to be thriving spectacularly on her own. Of course her return to Broadway in "Dead Accounts" wasn't as successful as she may have hoped (the play was a flop), but Katie has many other projects on her plate… such as her first-ever ad campaign with Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, which named her their first celebrity spokesperson last year.
Katie isn't really the type to wear pounds of makeup, but that's exactly why she is the perfect person for Bobbi Brown—a company that's known for their simple, flattering, and very wearable colors.
The actress said in a statement:
"[Bobbi Brown's] color palettes aren't extreme, so when I first started wearing makeup it felt comfortable and I didn't feel like I had too much on."
What can you say about Katie's new makeup ad?
