Actor/comedian Rob Schneider says Barack Obama has been a "crappy" president and won't be voting for him on Election Day.
Schneider, perhaps best known as a Saturday Night Live regular and for starring in Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo, recently made his political feelings known on The Regular Guys morning radio show based in Atlanta (listen to clip below) on Rock 100.5.
Schneider, a self-proclaimed liberal Democrat who voted for Obama in 2008, said "there is no way I can support Obama for second term." He also remarked that he doesn't want Obama's federal bureaucrats to become even more entrenched in a second term and "is for kicking them out and starting over." Schneider did not say who, if anyone, who would vote for in the presidential election, which puts him a different category than actress Stacey Dash for example.
Schneider, a former stand-up comedian, also starred in The Animal, The Hot Chick, and the 2010 Adam Sandler vehicle Grown Ups, and has many supporting roles to his credit.
It is usually career suicide in Hollywood for an actor or musician to be anything but a zealous liberal Democrat in public, so it remains to be seen how this will affect Schneider's career, if at all.
He is, however, a frequent collaborator in the movies with his friend and former SNL colleague Sandler, who is said to be Republican.
Rob Schneider's CBS sitcom was cancelled last May.
Listen to comedian Rob Schneider give a negative endorsement to Barack Obama:
Do you think celebrity endorsements of political candidates makes any difference?

We've already agreed we wouldn't be mapping those special cases, so as not to otherwise upset the consensus here. Those are part of the "deviation" class in the IDNAMapping.txt table, and the suggestion Michel made would be to *NOT* map those. So they are off the table, anyway. The problem is the other 3807 mappings where the behavior of IDNA 2003 is inconsistent with the generic suggestions in the current mapping document. And no, I don't think it is sensible to start trying to talk about all of them on a case-by-case basis, to determine whether they should or should not be mapped. Either we make no recommendation about them at all. Or we recommend a maximally IDNA-2003 compatible mapping. I don't see any value in spending more years trying to parse out some middle ground here, arguing about what is really a big pile of compatiblity crap in the standard for interoperating with largely defunct old charsets anyway. > > could that be a part of the effort proposed by Cary Karp? I would like to see a transition effort focussed on the important characters that people have a stake in -- notably the sharp-s and the final sigma, rather than deep-ending on a case-by-case examination of all the rest of this stuff. I suspect that guidelines for registries are going to be much more focussed on what to do with all the rest of the useful PVALID characters in the first place. --Ken

Keep up with the latest developments and legal issues in the telecommunications and emerging technology sectors, with exclusive access to a comprehensive collection of telecommunications law news,...
Feb. 10 — The Federal Communications Commission plans to interpret the Communications Act in order to proactively address the technological changes of the 21st century, said FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler.
Wheeler's comments, delivered in a Feb. 10 speech at the University of Colorado, came as the commission considers new rules for the Internet protocol (IP) transition, net neutrality and its forthcoming broadcast spectrum incentive auctions.
Wheeler says the FCC must be able to "apply its expert policy judgment."
Wheeler said Congress should seek a "significant modification" of the Communications Act if the FCC is "thwarted in its ability to apply its expert policy judgment." He acknowledged, however, that such an endeavor will likely take many years to complete and the commission has a responsibility to act now to ensure that certain values are preserved as network transitions occur.
A bipartisan, bicameral collection of lawmakers have increasingly expressed their interest in updating the laws that govern the nation's telecommunications marketplace. Last year Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman led the effort by launching a multi-year effort to rewrite the Communications Act.
When Congress enacts new communications legislation the speed of Internet innovation "means that even a new Telecommunications Act will be out of date the moment it is signed," Wheeler said. "The only way to deal with this reality is to have an expert agency capable of being as nimble as the innovators redefining technology and re-drawing the marketplace."
"We have an obligation to act now with the principles that have been transmitted to us in the form of statutes, judicial and regulatory precedents, scholarship, and experience," Wheeler said. "A central reason we must act now is that while the world is changing, certain values remain as critical as ever."
Wheeler plans to unveil his proposal to preserve net neutrality principles in the coming days, he said. Industry stakeholders are eagerly awaiting the agency's forthcoming response to a Jan. 14 appeals court decision that overturned two of the commission's key net neutrality rules.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled Jan. 14 that the FCC's open Internet rules may not prohibit broadband Internet service providers (ISPs) from blocking or discriminating against Internet content transmitted across their networks (Verizon Commc'ns Inc. v. FCC,D.C. Cir., No. 11-1355, 1/14/14). Wheeler has said the commission will "consider all available options," including a legal appeal of the case or potentially reclassifying broadband Internet under Title II of the Communications Act.
The court upheld the commission's authority under section 706 of the 1996 Telecommunications Act to encourage broadband deployment by removing barriers to infrastructure deployment and promoting competition, Wheeler said. As a result the FCC has the authority it needs to "provide what the public needs––open, competitive, safe, and accessible broadband networks," Wheeler said. "Indeed, that we have authority is well-settled. What remains open is not jurisdiction, but rather the best path to securing the public interest."
Going forward, the commission is "committed to transparent, inclusive processes, and our actions will be driven by the facts and the data," Wheeler said. "And on all major issues, we will act when the record warrants and the public interest demands."

Abdul Sabur jams a carrot into the machine that makes the frothy sweet juice his customers are waiting for on the crowded streets along the Kabul River. He is tired. He makes little and works 16 hours a day and it's almost time to go home. But ask him about the political situation in Afghanistan and he suddenly perks up.
"How long has Karzai been in power nine, ten years? But he hasn't done anything for the people. Karzai has brought nothing but killing destruction and explosions in Afghanistan."
He had heard the big news of the day: President Hamid Karzai's only challenger in the run-off election, Dr. Abdullah Abdullah withdrew from the Presidential race saying not enough had been done to clean up the fraud that overturned the August 20th election.
It was determined by the Electoral complaints commission that nearly one in four votes were fraudulent in that contest. Abdullah said he didn't think it would be much better this time around so withdrew. First announcing it through the media to the Afghan people in his native language, and then to the world in English.
Sabur was upset about the news and wanted Dr. Abdullah to run the country.
A block away, another potential voter was absolutely thrilled Mr. Karzai was a shoe in.
"Abdullah tried all these tricks, he resigned and this and that to come into power," the onion trader said.
"He knew he would lose so he thought it's better to say no right now. We have no problem with Karzai."
But the country, mired in a deadly war that keeps getting worse, now has one more problem added to a long list: How will it determine who is to be the president? With only one presidential candidate now and a constitutional law that demands a "run-off" (since no one candidate got the 50 percent plus one votes needed to win) what should happen when one of the two contenders drops out of the race?
Do you follow the un-tested law and continue with the run-off with one presidential candidate on the ballot making it plainly obvious who the winner will be long before even one vote is cast or look for other options.
It is not so easy to decide in a country where voters and poll workers have to face attacks by the Taliban who have again threatened anyone who takes part in the electoral process -- never mind the cost of the election, which is said to be somewhere around $20 million.
The United Nations sent a statement about the situation saying in part: "The next step must be to bring this electoral process to a conclusion in a legal and timely manner."
The President of Afghanistan's Independent Election Commission, Azizullah Lodin, told CNN everyone is allowed an opinion but as for who decides what happens in Afghanistan: "We are independent. We hear the idea from different parts but we are doing what is best on law and we find it what is correct and right."
The only people who didn't want to talk to the media about this today were the women we approached in a Kabul market. Every one of them, some completely covered by their burqa, would run away, afraid to appear on camera.
Among the men, while there was disagreement in the streets as to who would have been the better candidate, everyone agreed on one thing spoken plainly and passionately by the man you'll find behind the juice counter from 5am until 9pm on the streets of Kabul: Abdul Sabur.
"We want a president that thinks first and foremost of the needs of the people."

Articles In Category Safari & WebKit
Theming A Web Page With Crystal Black:
A CSS Design for Web Inspector
For awhile, I've wanted to theme Safari's Web Inspector—the incredibly useful built-in website viewer/debugger/designer assistant—with the Crystal Black look and feel, but it wasn't immediately obvious how to do this. I assumed that the tool was just a part of Safari, and therefore built with classes and widgets from the Cocoa AppKit (which is the framework all Cocoa apps are built with). However, when I began to inspect the Inspector, I discovered that everything contained within its borders was simply web content: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and images.
In other words, the Web Inspector tool is nothing but an intricate, sophisticated, and extremely well designed web page!
Having built a Crystal Black CSS file for web pages in general, and with my past expertise in CSS, I attacked this challenge with relish! It reminded me of the time I realized that Dashboard widgets are, at their core, nothing but little web pages (as are simply apps for the iPhone). In tackling this one, the main question was, How should the various elements look? And the hardest part was inspecting the various parts in of the Inspector in great detail to determine which CSS rules governed their default appearance and behavior.
As I discovered, the WebKit has a a sub-framework called "WebCore," which in turn has a folder of resources specifically for the Web Inspector. In the Inspector folder, among other things, is a suite of CSS files that handle different aspects of the Inspector's design and behavior. Of these, the primary one I needed to tweak was called simply "inspector.css."
A Close-Up Look At Today's Web Browsers: Comparing Firefox, IE 7, Opera, Safari
That this overwhelming trend toward advanced, desktop-like applications has happened at all is the result of the efforts of determined developers from the Mozilla project, which rose from the ashes of Netscape's demise to create the small, light, powerful and popular Firefox browser. The activity of the Mozilla group spurred innovation from other browser makers and eventually forced a trend towards open standards that made the emergence of Ajax possible.
This article starts with a brief history of web browsers and then jumps into a look at the feature set of the four primary "modern" web browsers in 2008. The comparison of browser features begins by listing the core features that all these browsers have in common. The bulk of the article lists in detail "special features" of each browser and each browser's good and bad points, as they relate to the core browser characteristics. Following that, I present some recent data on the comparative performance of these browsers. The article concludes with recommendations I would make to organizations interested in making the switch from IE6 in 2008.
WebKit/Safari Keep Blazing the Trail to CSS 3.0
Looking back,This is an update to the article I wrote last summer, when Safari 3.0 was first released. In the 9 months since then, a lot has happened, and I wanted to try to keep this info up to date. Opera, iCab, Konqueror, and Firefox have all made progress in adopting CSS 3.0 specifications, the next generation of the W3C's Cascading Style Sheets standard.
However, the WebKit team continues to lead the pack, as they have since I first contemplated this article over a year ago. In the last 6 months, that team has not only adopted more of the CSS 3.0 specs ahead of the others, but they have proposed several exciting new specs of their own, which the W3C is taking up as draft recommendations.
In addition to updating the state of CSS 3.0 in WebKit/Safari, I've also added some new demos for the Backgrounds section.
Here are the CSS 3.0 features I wrote about in July 2007:
- Box-shadow: Yes! Add drop shadows through CSS!
- Multi-column layout: Can we really do this now? With HTML?
- Resize: Give JavaScript hacks a rest and let users relax when typing input on web pages.
- Rounded corners: Any can be made round.
- Colors with transparency: There goes another ugly hack from way back!
- Background image controls: Remember how great it was when you could add images as well as colors to an element's background CSS style? Well, it's about to get a whole lot better!
And since then, WebKit and Safari 3.1 have adopted the following new ones:
- Adopted last October, WebKit introduced its first take at CSS Transforms, which it has submitted to the W3C for consideration. With CSS Transforms,
<DIV>s can be scaled, rotated, skewed and translated... all without using JavaScript!
- Announced at the same time is the equally exciting implementation of CSS Animations. At the moment, the only type of animation that's documented and demonstrated on the WebKit blog is based on CSS Transitions, which let you define how an object or attribute changes over time from one state to another.
- Also in October, WebKit added the CSS Web Fonts feature, which lets designers beam fonts to users through CSS and HTML, approximating the capabilities of PDF in a much lighter-weight form.
- Then, after a lull, things started to heat up again last month, when Apple released Safari 3.1. Safari 3.1 incorporated all of the CSS 3.0 features WebKit had pioneered earlier, plus it added a bunch of things the WebKit team hadn't blogged about. Chief among these was support for CSS Attribute Selectors. This is something of a holy grail to advanced web developers, since it opens up a whole world of possibilities for using the Document Object Model (DOM) to build better web interfaces. When released, WebKit was the first and only browser to support this geeky, but highly practical feature.
- And then, just today, WebKit added support for CSS Gradients to its portfolio. Gradients are not yet a CSS 3.0 specification, but they are part of the HTML 5.0 spec. No doubt Apple's implementation will be referred to the W3C for consideration.
Quietly, Safari Finally Gains WYSIWYG Editing Powers
A quiet revolution has taken place for Mac OS X Safari users, but I haven't seen anyone celebrate it… and I've looked! There isn't even a mention of this dramatic change in Safari's powers on the Surfin' Safari blog, where the open source team that's evolving the WebKit rendering engine used in Safari announce new features and updates. Lately, this team has implemented a number of really amazing features from the CSS 3.0 specification, and each has been trumpeted with some eye-popping examples. But not a word about this.
Well, I for one am celebrating the upgrade with this article and proclaiming to the world that finally, at last, Safari is gaining parity with the other modern browsers in letting users perform WYSIWYG editing whenever the application calls for it. Mac users like me who have simply done without rich-text editing in their WordPress blogs and Gmails, bristling with an unfamiliar envy at the vast majority of users who take this functionality for granted by now, can finally save ourselves some typing and edit in our web browser with the same ease we do in a word processor.
How Many Firefox Extensions Does It Take To Make One SafariStand?
The title of this article is deliberately provocative: I don't know the answer to the question, and I don't really care. But having been there with Firefox many times, all I can say is that Safari plugins like SafariStand make me grateful that I don't have to find out. I've found it much easier to utilize and keep track of one plugin rather than keeping, say, six or more in sync and up-to-date.
Our culture is generally dominated by a "more is More" attitude, so that the browser with the most plugins is believed by definition to be the best horse to bet on. This is the same argument some Windows users have made for years with respect to their choice of operating system: I want to use the computer that has the most software to choose from. This argument is proven empty when you actually sit down and compare the quality of Mac software in a given functional category versus that of Windows software (don't take my word for it: Actually do it yourself sometime), and that emptiness carries over to the issue of browser plugins. Certainly, there are some software categories that you legitimately need access to a Windows PC for. But if you notice, nearly all such categories cover business, rather than personal, requirements, and they're for very narrow fields of interest indeed. The only personal software category where the Mac actually lags Windows is gaming, and I predict that the gap in gaming titles won't be nearly so large a year or two from now as it is today.
As far as the supposed dearth of plugins for Safari in comparison with Firefox, SafariStand is an excellent case-in-point. There are other excellent multifunction Safari plugins (Saft, PithHelmet, Safari Extender, for example), but I'm highlighting SafariStand because it's not only great, but also free. After all, if a Safari user finds they are starting to buy plugins, they really should consider paying for a browser that has dozens of plugins already built in, like OmniWeb. Being the cheapskate I am, I like free things, and SafariStand is one of my favorite freebies for Safari. Besides, most Firefox plugins are free, so it seems only fair to restrict this plugins conversation to those that Safari users can add without paying extra.
In this article, I'm going to focus on just a couple of the best bits from the latest SafariStand beta, which are just too wonderful to remain obscure from the Safari-loving hordes. But very briefly, here is a list of the main functions that SafariStand adds to Safari. To gather these functions into Firefox would require the gathering of a half-dozen or more separate plugins, each of which would have to be authorized and kept up to date, etc.
- Option to restore your last workspace, or any of the pages you had open, on launch.
- Add sidebar with thumbnail tabs.
- Customize search engines available in the standard Google search form.
- Automate "find" function without having to type Cmd-F.
- Add color labels to your bookmarks.
- Colorize the HTML source window, and make it editable.
- Reorder tabs in a window (this is a native feature of Firefox and will be one in Safari 3.0).
- Use the "Stand Bar", a floating palette with searchable bookmarks and history, as well as customizable SafariStand folders and RSS feeds.
- Configure your "Bookmark Shelf," a floating palette that lets you build and access saved "workspaces," which are lists of sites you open up in a browser session and want to save for later use.
- Access one of the best "Page Info" stores now available for any browser.
- For any site you're visiting, easily see a list of all the cookies the site has set, examine their contents, and/or delete one or more of them.
Three New Safari 3.0 Tricks Are Producing Leopard Lust
You've heard about one or two of them, and you may even have seen a YouTube video of Safari 3.0's tab tricks. But let me tell you, as part of my Building Leopard project, discovering Safari 3.0 has left me with an insatiable desire to work in Leopard full-time. There are three standout features that I really miss when I "degrade gracefully" to other modern web browsers on my Mac—and that includes Firefox 2.0x, Opera 9.x, and Safari 2.x as my regular web companions.
Even though Firefox has enough cool extensions to keep a software addict fed from now until next year, none of them match the upcoming features Apple has cooked up for Safari 3.0 in Mac OS X 10.5 ("Leopard"). Likewise, Opera and its talented development team is going to be left behind the curve for awhile, as are better-than-Safari wannabes like Shiira and OmniWeb on the Mac. (It took Microsoft 5 years to add tabs to its browser, and from the way they've implemented them, I still don't think they quite get it. So, no, I'm not expecting any innovative new ideas in web browsing from Redmond any time soon.)
Ok, with a buildup like that, I can hear you Safari naysayers out there beginning to clear your throats in preparation for throwing out some canned dissults about Safari. Save 'em.
I'm not sharing these in order to put down anybody else's browser of choice (well, IE is so far down it's hard to do anything else!), and I'm not suggesting they are going to revolutionize web browsing, even remotely. The ideas Apple has implemented are not so unique that the company should have taken out patents or anything. Rather, these are incremental innovations of the sort that keep the art of web browsing moving forward. It's ideas like these that could potentially jog the minds of other creative programmers, who will then go off and imagine some other cool new enhancements for Firefox or Opera or Shiira or OmniWeb.
In the end, it's all good for web surfers like you and me. (Hey! Are humans and martians who browse the web "web browsers"? If so, when do we get new features?)
Web Inspector Gains New Eyes for Metrics, Properties
Like many of you who develop on the Mac, I was amazed and very impressed by the WebKit team's Web Inspector tool when it was unveiled in January. However, it was clearly not yet complete… two critical tabfulls of data were missing, which kept me turning to other tools—like the excellent Firebug for Firefox—when getting into a serious debugging session.
Well, tonight I was delighted to discover that the wait is over! On downloading a new build of WebKit today, I found that Web Inspector finally can provide those critical Metrics and Properties of each DOM element on my web pages. And boy, have they done a great job in the implementation! Every bit as cool and functional as the original bits, so I can now get all the details on any element of the page with a right-click of my mouse (control-click for some folks) and a simple selection of "Inspect Element." Now come on Firebug fans, don't you wish you could inspect an element that easily? Not that it's hard with Firebug, but I always say, "Save a millisecond here and a millisecond there, and pretty soon you've saved a whole second!" (Just kidding… I never said that before.)
All The Lovely Browsers!
Lately, I've been on a bit of a rampage on the subject of cross-browser compatibility, becoming especially incensed by prominent websites and web 2.0 applications that don't work in Apple's Safari browser. I know some of you are sympathetic, but think I should just be pleased that these sites work in Mozilla Firefox, which runs on all platforms known to man (or woman (or Martian)).
Yes, it's definitely worth celebrating that Firefox has broken through the stranglehold with which Microsoft's Internet Explorer had gripped the industry for so long, providing not just a viable alternative, but a demonstrably superior web browsing experience. Firefox is the descendent of Netscape Navigator that's finally returned to beat off the IE interloper, and it has a huge following among developers as well as users.
But there are a number of other excellent web browsers that get shortchanged when a company is testing its site or application in only IE and Firefox. For as good as Firefox is, it's not the best in all aspects of web browsing, either on Windows or the Mac. This article highlights a few facts about the browser market and points to some really useful features found in non-IE, non-Mozilla browsers that explain why users remain devoted to them and, like me, continue to raise a stink when they are ignored. The other two browsers I use pretty much every day, in addition to Firefox, are Opera and Safari.
Yahoo's Ajax/DHTML User Interface Library Apparently Fails Its Own Test
I have been among the developers and observers who have praised Yahoo for the technical strength of their recently launched User Interface Library. In my tests for the Ajax/DHTML Scorecard project in March, Yahoo's library was a clear "A" in its cross-browser credentials, and I was very impressed with Yahoo's development team, which published clear and exacting browser standards for their library.
According to Yahoo's own Graded Browser Support table, Safari is an A-graded browser, meaning it achieves the highest level of support possible with the Yahoo interface library. Clearly, the thought that went into this table is impressive, and the authors conclude the explanation that precedes the table itself with an appropriate quote from Tim Berners-Lee on the importance of cross-browser support:
"Anyone who slaps a 'this page is best viewed with Browser X' label on a Web page appears to be yearning for the bad old days, before the Web, when you had very little chance of reading a document written on another computer, another word processor, or another network.â€
It is therefore highly disappointing and disillusioning to discover tonight that Yahoo has released a preview of its new, Ajax-enabled home page with support only for Internet Explorer 6.0 and Firefox 1.5. The only logic one can use to justify such a move is based on a totally PC-centric viewpoint, which argues that only Windows users are worth troubling with, since they comprise the vast majority of potential viewers. But this is precisely the viewpoint that must cease if Web 2.0 is to become the fertile melting ground for truly cross-platform interdependence that it wants to be. It's simply not the viewpoint of any company that really cares about Berners-Lee's vision or about the millions of users on platforms other than the virus- and malware-riddled mess that is Microsoft Windows today.
AOL's I Am Alpha: A Wide Slap At Mac Users on Safari
This is another horrible example of a company with blinders on. Google has been doing this lately, too. What am I talking about? Why, thinking it's OK to release a new product without support for Safari or other KHTML-based browsers.

A laptop is considered good when it meets the requirements of the user. Before buying a laptop, the user must refer to the laptop's software and hardware specifications to see if it offers the right features.
A buyer should choose a laptop that comes with his choice of operating system. As of 2015, the most popular laptops have either Google Chrome OS, Microsoft Windows or Apple OS X as their pre-installed OS. Other key factors that the buyer must consider include CPU and GPU performance, hard disk and system memory capacity, battery life and screen size. Laptops also come in different designs, such as hybrid and traditional. Build quality, after-sales support and price also determine if a laptop is good.

The Ogun State government is not happy with the development
The Ogun State Government has discovered an unusual ghost worker in its workforce.
A man, whose mother, a primary school teacher in the State, died over eight months ago, has been collecting his mother's salary from the state government.
The state governor, Ibikunle Amosun, revealed the fraud on Friday during an interactive session with members of correspondents' chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, Ogun State Council.
"On investigation we discovered that one of the sons of the deceased was collecting the salaries. Ironically, when asked questions, he said he was collecting the salaries on behalf of his late mother," Mr. Amosun said.
The governor said the fraud was uncovered during a biometric data carried out in state's primary schools, adding that the same exercise will be extended to secondary schools soon.
The governor, who did not mention the name of the dead teacher, the school, or the culprit, declared that his government will not fight fraud with kid gloves.
Mr. Amosun also told journalists that allegations that the state government made monthly deductions from the allocation to local governments were false. He challenged anybody, or group, with facts on such allegations to come out with proof of such deductions.
'On my honour and since I was sworn in as the governor I have not denied them their allocation, and will never. If anybody has such figure, he should bring it out," Mr. Amosun said.

I made this stool as a Christmas present for my mom. Some of it was made from old wood from my grandmother's garage (she passed away in August of 2014), the rest was hickory. The second step in the stool, as well as the frame for the top step, is the wood from the garage. It was finished with four coats of poly. Overall it was a lot of fun to build, and it was extra special given the sentimental value of salvaging some of the wood for a gift for my mother. Hope you enjoy the pics.

This is a lovely stepstool. The wood looks fantastic. I really appreciate the sentiment you shared regarding having used the wood you found in your dearly departed Grandmother's garage. A touch that adds even more to a piece your mom is sure to cherish the rest of her life.
It looks like there are other posts of stools that were perhaps spammers, so yours seems to have been overlooked. I'm glad I took a moment to see this beauty and read the story behind it.

This recipe is another family favoirte of mine. We even had special mugs that were used ONLY for Tom and Jerry's. Although my grandparents served it with Rum, I was very happy with they way this turned out without it! I'm pretty sure that I LOVED the name too beacuse I thought it was named after the cartoon. Hey, maybe it is!?!

Employment income provided through third parties: exclusions: earmarking for employee share option schemes: specified vesting date: Section 554L exclusion for expected grants: fall-back charge if grant is delayed
Section 554L(4) and (5) ITEPA 2003
A fall-back charge may apply if a relevant step comes within the Section 554L exclusion for expected grants but the grant is delayed.
It makes no difference whether the relevant share option under review is to acquire relevant shares or to receive a sum of money.
Section 554L(4) states when the fall-back charge applies.
- The grant is not made before the end of the date ('the final grant date') falling immediately after the period of three months starting with the date on which P takes the relevant step.
Broadly speaking, earmarked shares are still held with a view to the exercise of a relevant share option within one of the Section 554L exclusions. More precisely as at the end of the final grant date, any of the earmarked shares continue to be held by or on behalf of the relevant third person solely with a view to providing relevant shares or paying a sum of money pursuant to a relevant share option, and the grant of this option meets one of two alternative conditions.
- The first condition is that this grant is to be made to A as mentioned in Section554L(1)(a) and is to meet the requirements of Section 554L(1)(b) to (e).
- The second condition is that this grant is expected to be made to A as mentioned in Section 554L(1)(a) and, if this grant is made, it will meet the requirements of Section 554L(1)(b) to (e).
On the 'exercise' of options, see EIM45460.
On Section 554L(1)(a) to (e), see EIM45405.
The fall-back charge
Section 554L(5) deems a relevant step to be taken with the following features.
- The relevant step is within Section 554B.
- It is taken at the end of the final grant date.
The subject of the relevant step is:
- the shares which continue to be held as discussed above, and
- any 'relevant income' in relation to those shares. See EIM45475.
- The relevant step gives rise to Part 7A income.
The relevant step gives rise to Part 7A income subject to the exclusion in Section 554A(4) (see EIM45095) and any relevant reliefs.

MAITLAND — When William Keller was a boy, ''Maitland was a little, sleepy, one-horse town, and Orlando was nothing. College Park was a cow pasture,'' he said.
There wasn't even a Keller Road until Orange County built the clay street and named it after his father.
When Keller's family moved here from Pennsylvania in 1921, Lake Avenue and Forest City Road were dirt roads, too, and Edgewater Drive was a one-lane brick street.

Keeping Toronto pick looks like the big deal

Of the calls Peter Chiarelli has been taking lately from rival general managers, few have centered on the availability of Toronto's first-round pick in 2010, which landed in Boston as part of the Phil Kessel swap. That's because other bosses have resigned themselves to the fact that the Bruins GM probably will not part with a pick that could turn ... (Full article: 836 words)

Harald brought this to my attention:
"Pervasive computing will more and more influence on the everyday life because more and more electronical devices are capable of speaking IP, e.g. via Ethernet, WiFi or Bluetooth. Vibrators will be no exception. Although people haven't realized this yet, there are in fact already vibrating devices with IP-connectivity called mobiles or cellulars. The AT command specified in GSM 07.07 does only provide a command to enable the vibrating on an incomming phone call. Therefore the controlling of these vibrating devices is rather clumsy."

On the southwest corner of Tompkins and DeKalb Avenues is Mt. Pisgah church and school, formerly the parish and school of St. Ambrose. About 1978, the congregation of St. Ambrose parish was moved into the smaller buildings of Our Lady of Monserrate, a few blocks south on Tompkins Avenue at Vernon Avenue. It seems that in January, 2008, that combined parish was itself handed over to All Saints, at Throop and Flushing Avenues.
For a discussion of the church building that was St. Ambrose, see this article from the Brownstoner and, more importantly, the comments below the article.
North of St. Ambrose is the Brooklyn Triangle redevelopment zone, the subject of dispute as described (how accurately?) in this Daily News article of 11.26.2008.
Men and women of the parish faithful appear on a marvelous website here, replete with pages and pages of photos. The Sisters of St. Joseph staffed the school for decades. St. Ambrose school closed in 1973, according to the diocesan website. Sadly, even the Baptist Mt. Pisgah Christian Academy shows weak numbers, with only fourteen students in 8th grade.

seems in the Authorized Version of ( 1 Chronicles 5:26 ) to be the name of a river, but in ( 2 Kings 17:6 ) and 2Kin 18:11 it is evidently applied not to a river but a country. Gozan was the tract to which the Israelites were carried away captive by Pul, Tiglathpileser and Shalmaneser, or possibly Sargon. It is probably identical with the Gauzanitis of Ptolemy, and I may be regarded as represented by the Mygdonia of other writers. It was the tract watered by the Habor, the modern Khabour , the great Mesopotamian affluent of the Euphrates.

Searching for Han, Chewie and Lando find a dimensional doorway when the Falcon 's warp engine dies. In a colorful void, they see the City of Dreams and land in a jungle. Seeking help, they are attacked by a beast until Cody Sunn-Childe arrives and draws his "monster-brother" into himself. Lando recognizes him as his boyhood idol, a freedom fighter, but Cody has put aside his past and his city is one of peace. Lando is suspicious, but Ansible "The Holy Terror" Beelyard, his second-in-command, confirms this. Chewie sees a Wookiee and feels at home here. In normal space, a Star Destroyer fleet led by Captain Plikk finds the doorway. She and Lieutenant Nizzon have patrolled for years, seeing no battles or glory, and hope to find both. Cody uses equipment to monitor Imperial transmissions to be reminded of the folly of war; though history portrays him as a Rebel dedicated to peace and freedom, he says he enjoyed violence and killing. On a little-known Imperial world, his philosophy changed when he was shot into a crevasse and met the M'usts, subterranean dwellers who thought him a Holy Flame God and taught him true peace. As latent psychic powers grew with help from the real Flame God, he returned to surface and left this universe, taking his battle-brothers to live in harmony. Outraged that Cody wasted such power on fantasy, Lando hits him and calls him a coward, unleashing more "monster brothers" until Cody pulls them back. Lando finds Chewie with the Wookiee and tries to take him away, but Chewie throws him into the arms of a 3PO unit. Lando sees Cody's dreams as a plague and condemns him for forsaking the universe. Plikk's fleet fire at the doorway to widen it for entry. Despite their fight, Cody fixes the Falcon and says he pities Lando for not seeing his way. Lando retorts that he has found a cause to fight for. When Plikk attacks the City of Dreams, thinking it a Rebel base or conquerable world, Chewie comes to his senses and leaves with Lando. Cody can't let Imperials destroy the Falcon and his city, so to Ansible's horror, unleashes his "monster-brothers" on the Imperials. As they flee, Cody sees what he's done and draws the monsters back, then calls his people and says that to live by peace, they must die by it as well. The Imperials level the city, depleting their energy but ready to die in glory. Lando grieves for Cody and his ideals, then exits through the closing doorway, leaving the Imperials to rot, and the search for Han Solo continues.

Wayne National Forest
The Wayne National Forest is a key partner in the Central Appalachians Climate Change Response Framework. The Forest is currently contributing to the forest ecosystem vulnerability assessment, which provide information on forests' vulnerability to climate change.
The Wayne National Forest has developed a proposed strategy for implementing the Forest Service's National Climate Change Scorecard. Our strategy uses the scorecard as a framework to organize relevant parts of our program of work and to link our Forest Management Plan to appropriate national frameworks. For example, this approach would allow us to be especially responsive in the area of broad scale assessments, which are an expected part of our forest monitoring program under the pending national planning rule, and to do so in an especially efficient way.

Diagnostic and Therapeutic Issues of Neuropathic Pain
There are two types of pain: nociceptive and neuropathic. The former is of a mechanical nature and relates to nerve pain through direct nerve irritation, such as an arthritic joint. The latter implies a specific injury or insult to nerves causing pain and discomfort. Based on my clinical observations in treating patients with neuropathic pain for almost 20 years, it is my belief that neuropathic pain and, in particular, radicular pain has been under-diagnosed and under-treated for a variety of reasons. Partly it's our reliance on electrodiagnostic testing in making the diagnosis of radicular pain and the difficulty in obtaining an accurate history from the patient, and an absence of other diagnostic testing to make this diagnosis. Also, health care professionals often overlook the neuropathic component of pain and focus on other causes of chronic pain. Further, the difficulty in the treatment of neuropathic pain presents a clinical challenge.
Neuropathic pain includes, but is not limited to diabetic neuropathy, all peripheral neuropathies, radiculopathy, complex regional pain syndrome, sympathetically mediated pain, fibromyalgia, and interstitial cystitis. A variety of medical conditions that cause peripheral neuropathy include inherited diseases, alcoholism, nutritional vitamin deficiencies, cancers, autoimmune reactions, medications, kidney and thyroid disease and infections such as Lyme disease, shingles or AIDS. Peripheral neuropathy of idiopathic etiology, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy and mono-neuropathies make up the majority of all the causes of neuropathic pain.
Diagnostic Issues
Although the diagnosis of a specific type of neuropathic pain can be complicated, distinguishing between neuropathic pain and nociceptive pain is not as complicated. It is important to distinguish pain patterns in making the diagnosis of neuropathic pain. Practitioners should evaluate the patients as to whether the pain involves an extremity and, if so, is it radiating from the spine or is it a separate pain of a joint or a separate part of the extremity.
Pain location is important and the patient needs to elaborate specifically where the pain occurs. It is helpful to use a pain diagram to show where their pain is located. The practitioner should then go over the diagram with the patient and complete an examination and have the patient show them physically on their body where the pain occurs. If the pain involves an extremity, is it sock-like pain or is it linear in fashion? Are there neurological changes on examination and does the patient have other neurological symptoms or complaints such as numb-ness or tingling?
For the purpose of this article, I examined 30 patients in my clinic with chronic back pain and confirmed compressive pathology in patients who also had extremity pain. Of those 30 patients, only two were able to adequately describe a radicular symptomatology that could be considered as anatomically accurate. Less than half the patients had EMG studies and, of those, about two thirds were reported as negative. In our practice, we have found that the treatment of radicular pain has frequently been denied specifically based on these two issues: that there is a lack of a clear dermatomal pain pattern, and that there is a normal EMG report.
A review of the literature seems to indicate that there is some information which substantiates these concerns. A study from the Journal of Neurology indicated, "The subsequent clinical course of patients examined in an EMG laboratory has not been adequately studied."1 The purpose of this study, in addition to their observations of EMG results, was to review the existing literature and determine the treatment outcomes of patients based on those EMG findings. What they found in this retrospective review of patients was that those patients who had had a pathological EMG had significantly better clinical outcomes in the three year post period than those patients who did not. This indicates that practitioners were treating patients for neuropathy based on the EMG results and denying treatment on those patients who did not have positive results.1
A separate study, completed in 2002, attempted to determine specific protocols for the use of EMG. It recognized deficiencies in the diagnosis. The studies stated specifically, "The assessment of the spontaneous activity in extremity muscles alone minimizes the influence of error-causing factors on the EMG result. Nevertheless, lack of assessment of motor units potentials makes electromyographic investigation of chronic radiculopathy impossible. "Sensitivity and specificity of the method have to be determined before the clinical use of the assessment of motor unit potential, MUP, and chronic radiculopathy, especially in patients with motor weakness. This indicates shortcomings in needle EMG in diagnostic radiculopathy."2
Further difficulties with paraspinal EMG and lumbar radiculopathies were outlined in a 2000 article regarding the use of a 0–4+ scoring scale in determining paraspinal muscle involvement in radiculopathies. They found deficiencies in the scoring system when the electromyographer suspected that the patient had radiculopathy. It was a more common use of equivocal paraspinal scoring and underscores the inconsistencies and subjectivities that may occur regarding EMG diagnosis.3 This seems to indicate that electrodiagnostic studies are not extremely accurate in some neuropathic pain and there seems to be inconsistencies regarding its use in determining the diagnosis of radicular pain. Since practitioners have frequently treated radiculopathy based on EMG findings and have neglected to treat as aggressively those patients who did not have positive EMG findings, I believe additional studies need to be done to clarify these issues.
Clinical Diagnosis of Neuropathic Pain
The diagnosis of neuropathic pain is also based on clinical examination and clinical history as well as laboratory studies and imaging studies. As far as examination and diagnosis of neuropathic pain, observations in our clinic have revealed that very few patients adequately describe what would be considered an anatomical dermatomal pain pattern for radicular pain. This was emphasized during my informal evaluation of a group of patients in our clinic. The difficulties patients have in describing neuropathic pain occur for a variety of reasons and was highlighted in a 2005 article: "Sensory examination could be challenging and confusing because responses are indirect and represent a patient's interpretation of the test and questions. It is obviously easier to determine in patients if there is a stocking glove-type dermatomal or radiating type pattern, but as far as following a dermatomal pattern this difficulty remains."4

Tension Exhibition 2013 - "Ten Fabrics Gathering"
Last April (2013) I participated in the Open Studios in the Dandenong Ranges program where 35 artists' studios opened for one weekend. The artists also contribute to a group exhibition whose theme was 'Tension' punned around the fact that the program was in its tenth year. Open Studios is co-sponsored by Yarra Ranges Council and Burrinja Gallery and all the artists' pieces were on exhibition for four weeks. The visitor was encouraged to start their tour of the open studios from the gallery, take in the group exhibition, and enjoy a coffee at the café while planning their route through the Dandenongs.
To coincide with the program I decided to 'open' my studio in the making of my 'Tension' piece, which naturally is executed in Nuno felt, by treating you to a series of six videos of its making.
Part 1 is shown here and if you would like to see the full series you may do so by following the information below. (Note: the videos are named "Nuno Felt Semi Circular Wrap as I didn't have the "Ten Fabrics Gathering" label when recording them.)
Access to Parts 2-5 Plus Video Extra
I love making my Nuno pieces and I have invested heavily in buying books, trying different processes and learning tips and techniques along the way. The video above is part 1 of a five part collection plus an additional helpful tip video.
It takes some time to plan, create and produce a video for your enjoyment and information. Originally, Parts 2-6 required purchase. But I've recently decided to make them freely available on YouTube. Thanks for your interest in my work.
Happy viewing, Joni

Quick review of two masks I tried recently, firstly it's a sheet mask from Fancl called the "U Zone Firm Up Mask".
(Click to enlarge picture below)
The mask is meant to be limited edition, and with Fancl's signature HTC collagen complex and it's aimed at overall firming in the "U" shaped portion of lower face. i.e. to remove the double chin or bloated look.
It has a really interesting shape like below:
The masks come in box of 3 separate satchels. Retails about $130HKD in HK (which is like 17USD).
Here it is on me- the picture is so small since I think it looks so silly. But you can see the mask is a typical sheet mask material. It's not particularly damp actually, unlike many other brands of mask where you get leftover serum to apply to rest of your body or arms if you like, the mask is only moist enough for that 20 minutes on your face and does not drip.
I think in terms of the face hugging, it does what it says due to the design of the mask. It hugs the chin and cheek area really well. After application I can see a (temporary) firmness and extra supple looking skin (which can be achieved with most moisturising masks). However there is no real visible long term effect. This is clearly one of those feel good products, just use it as a normal moisturising mask I suppose. Not on my repurchase list unless I can find it on sale or something.
Next one is Bioderma Sensibio Mask. I truly love the Bioderma micellar water as a makeup remover. So I also grabbed a few other items. The Sensibio line features red prints on white tube packaging, and it's targeted at sensitive skin.
Just a typical flip up squeeze tube.
The instructions say spread a light layer on cleansed skin, wait 10 minutes then wipe off or rinse off. It has a light creamy consistency that is non oily.
However, the overall effect was pretty bland. I think I didn't even finish the whole tube before it actually expired so I had to throw it out. While it's comfortable to use, and convenient for e.g. applying it to cleansed skin before shower, then hop in the shower , wash your hair , then rinse off this mask at last step and you get a bit of extra boost of moisture, it is very weak compared to most moisturising masks out there.
It was non-irritating on my sensitive skin as advertised, but I did not feel it moisturised very much compared to any hyaluronic moisturizer masks or serums out there. Definitely a pass for me.

When it Rains it Pours
I hate rain.
Ok. Rant. Done.
I didn't really get to play with Eddie today. :-( That makes me sad. But we did go for a walk together. We went around the outside of the corncrib and grazed out in the rain. I just couldn't help it and he sure didn't mind being out in the rain and out of his stall. Standing there with my horse and my outback hat in the rain seemed kinda cool to me. I've had a growing dream that I will have to blog about later. I want to do it someday and I pray that I'll be able to.
Anyway, we went for a walk around the corncrib and then went out to the pasture for a romp around there. We did a lap and trotted just a little bit. But it was way too slippery to do anything else.
Here's to a sunny day! I'm hoping that it's sunny out tomorrow.
~Lea & Eddie~

This paper provides a comprehensive derivation for thermoelastic damping (TED) in flexural-mode ring gyroscopes, in light of recent efforts to design high rate-resolution gyroscopes. Imposing an upper limit on the attainable mechanical noise floor of a vibratory gyroscope, thermoelastic damping in a ring gyroscope is extracted from the equations of linear thermoelasticity. By assuming that it is small and therefore has negligible effect on the flexural-mode vibrations in a ring, thermoelastic damping manifests itself through temporal attenuation, where a complex frequency is used to quantitatively evaluate this damping. The exact solution to thermoelastic damping is derived and verified with experimental data in the literature. This work not only provides significant insight to the geometrical design in high-Q ring gyroscopes, but also defines their performance limit.

On November 15, the McMaster Rolling Seminar: La Vie Vélo hosted a roundtable panel on coffee & bikes. Recently the Canadian Cycling Magazine posted a short video, consisting of interviews with a couple of the participants. You can link to their page here.
As we suggested at the time, there is a longstanding relationship between coffee and cycling, which has also been mentioned recently on the Inner Ring site, here. Two more pieces on coffee and cycling can be seen here and here. But also more. Here, here, and here.

Amazing facts
The exceptional volume of the underground canyon is what distinguishes the Škocjan Caves from other caves and places them among the most famous underground features in the world.
The river flowing through the underground canyon turns north-west before the Cerkvenik Bridge and continues its course along the Hankejev kanal (Hanke's Channel). This underground channel, first explored at the end of the 19th century, is approximately 3.5 kilometres long, 10 to 60 metres wide and over 140 metres high. At some points, it expands into huge underground chambers. The largest of these is the Martelova dvorana (Martel's Chamber); with a volume of 2.2 million cubic metres, it is considered the largest discovered underground chamber in Slovenia and one of the largest in the world. It is interesting to note that an underground canyon of such dimensions ends with a relatively small siphon: one that cannot deal with the enormous volume of water that pours into the cave after heavy rainfall, causing major flooding, during which water levels can rise by more than one hundred metres.
(…) about it poured a drink-offering to all the dead,
first with mead and thereafter with sweet wine,
and for the third time with water, and I sprinkled white meal thereon (…),
I took the sheep and cut their throats over the trench,
and the dark blood flowed forth, and lo,
the spirits of the dead that be departed gathered them from out of Erebus (…),
then did I speak to my company and command them
to flay the sheep which even now lie slain by the pitiless sword,
and to consume them with fire, and to make prayer to the gods,
to mighty Hades and to dread Persephone.
(The Odyssey, Book XI)
Homer's epic poem depicts the perceptions of the ancient Greeks of the underworld, according to which the doors to the Kingdom of Shadows were volcanoes and caves. Before entering the Underworld, Odysseus makes libations and burning offerings to the Underworld gods, Hades and Persephone. Homer's epic poem, one of the oldest preserved written pieces, corresponds to the first half of the 8th century B.C. but it draws upon earlier traditions. The finds from Mušja jama near Škocjan belong to the same period. In this 50-metre deep abyss, archaeologists discovered over 600 metal artefacts from the period between the 12th and 8th centuries B.C. The settlements at Škocjan and Gradišče, and especially numerous burial sites and other wealthy archaeological finds testify to
the extraordinary significance of this location in the 1st century B.C
. This is particularly evident in Mušja jama. Burnt and broken objects from the abyss, mostly weapons and animal bones, provide evidence that sacrificial rites to gods were performed above the cave in the late Bronze Age, probably similar to those described by Homer in the above-mentioned fragment. Judging by the finds, people made pilgrimages to this cult centre from places several hundred kilometres distant, from the territory of Italy, the Alps, Pannonia, the Balkans and even Greece. Contacts with distant regions are reflected in the Škocjan community, which was distinct from the surrounding society because of its outstanding wealth and distinct social hierarchy. Three millennia ago, the magnificent entrances to the underworld and the dramatic scenes of the entrance of waters into the dark underworld gave Škocjan a great symbolic religious power and transformed it into a cult centre without rival in the territory of Slovenia and far beyond it.
Due to particular microclimatic conditions, an extraordinary ecosystem has developed in Velika and Mala dolina. For instance, Alpine (e.g. Prumula auricula) and Mediterranean species (e.g. maidenhair fern, Adianthum capillus-veneris) grow side-by-side: exceptionally rare in nature. This is possible due to the nature of habitats of Alpine representatives that grow on rocks in the shady part of the sinkholes where the sun rarely shines even in the summer and where it is cold throughout the year. It is only in these conditions that these plants are sufficiently competitive to survive. Contrary to Alpine plants, the representatives of Mediterranean plants survive only where the temperatures do not fall below freezing. This is possible on the ceiling of the Schmidl Cavern where, due to cave air, temperatures do not fall below freezing even in the winter.
Collapse dolines and sinks in the Škocjan Caves were mentioned in antiquity and marked on the maps dating to the 16th century; they were described by Valvasor (1689) and visited by travellers in the 18th century. Records show that the French painter Cassas visited the caves in the summer of 1782 and painted the Reka River and sinkholes. The visitors' book was introduced as early as in 1819 and the number of visits increased after the path leading to the bottom of Velika dolina was introduced in 1823. The year 1884 can be considered as the beginning of real tourism when the Primorska Section of the German and Austrian Mountaineering Society of Trieste acquired the lease to the Škocjan Caves and organised guided tours. Schmidl's notes from 1853 show that there were only around 150 visitors per year. Records exist of the number of visitors according to sold tickets from the beginning of the 20th century; there were 2,230 visitors in 1903 and 3,013 just two years later.

text: Pregnancy health Pregnancy The side-effects of pregnancy From bursting into tears at the slightest thing to getting 'baby brain', pregnancy can cause some unusual side-effects... 1 of Ad break The side-effects of pregnancyCrying all the time What is it? Bursting into tears for no particular reason: a TV advert, walking past an old person, seeing a beautiful sunset... Why? It's mostly hormone-related, but can also be down to feeling anxious or depressed about the pregnancy, and worried about the future. If it's really serious, it could be antenatal depression.Will it go? Most women find that once the baby's born, and your hormones are back to normal, this type of crying subsides. The side-effects of pregnancyDarker nipples What is it? Your nipples get much darker. This can start quite early in the pregnancy. Why? Progesterone is the hormone responsible. It's not caused by you carrying a boy, as the old wives' tale goes. Some people think that the contrast in colour helps a weak-sighted newborn find your nipples more easily. Will it go? Yes, darkened areas usually fade soon after the birth. The side-effects of pregnancyCravings What is it? The desire to eat certain, sometimes rather odd, food. Among the most commonly craved are peanut butter, apples, melon, cheese, eggs, milk, olives or pickles and nuts. Pica is the technical term for wanting to eat non-foodstuffs, such as sand, earth or coal. What causes it? It may be your body's way of making you eat the extra you need, and making it nutritious foods that are rich in vitamins and minerals.Will it go? Cravings may occur infrequently or last the whole pregnancy, but they disappear once you've given birth. The side-effects of pregnancyThe 'glow' What is it? Many women develop a healthy rosy glow and dewy complexion in the second trimester. What causes it? That faint blush and great-looking complexion isn't just because you're excited. Your body's increased volume of blood means your cheeks will look a little rosier. The skin's oil glands also secrete more, which gives your face a hint of a sheen. Will it go? Yes, your skin will return to normal. Continue slideshow > The side-effects of pregnancyLinea nigra What is it? A dark line that appears from your belly button down to your pubes. What causes it? Some women get it and some dont. Research suggests it could indicate a folic acid deficiency. So make sure you're eating plenty of wholegrains, green leafy veg, or take a supplement. Will it go? Yes, the darkening will fade within a few months after the baby's born. The side-effects of pregnancyThicker hair What is it? Your hair may become thicker and glossier. What causes it? It's the hormone, HCG (human chorionic), the same one that pregnancy tests detect. Will it go? Sadly, yes. And the rate at which it falls out as it does can be alarming, but don't worry, you're not going bald.Click here for advice on haircare during pregnancy. The side-effects of pregnancyChloasma What is it? The 'mask of pregnancy' can appear as a mask-shaped patch of darker skin on some women's faces, more often those with dark skin. What causes it? Those pregnancy hormones cause increased pigmentation of the skin. You may have noticed your moles are darker too. Will it go? Most changes in skin colour during pregnancy will fade within a few months of the birth. The side-effects of pregnancyStretchmarks What is it? Reddish streaks that appear on your bump, and maybe on your breasts, thighs and bum too, from about three months in. On darker skin they can be lighter than your skin. Technically known as striae gravidarum (Latin for pregnancy grooves!). What causes it? Fast weight gain makes your skin s-t-r-e-t-c-h, and the fibres within it tear. How fast you gain baby-weight affects your likelihood of getting stretchmarks, as does whether your mum or sisters have had them, and whether you got them at puberty. If you're carrying twins (or more) they may be worse. Opinion varies on whether stretch-mark creams can prevent them, but as your skin may feel dry, tight and itchy, rubbing in cream will help soothe that at least. Will it go? Not exactly, but they do fade to a pale silver colour within about a year.Click here for help on avoiding stretchmarks. Continue slideshow > The side-effects of pregnancyBigger feet What is it? Your dainty little tootsies may swell, and you might need to go up a shoe size. What causes it? Several things. Fluid retention is a common effect of pregnancy and gravity plays its part in ensuring that your feet is where it pools. If you've put on weight, your feet may have got fatter. And, thanks to the pregnancy hormone relaxin, your ligaments (which connect muscle and bone) are stretchier, which allows your foot bones to spread out. Will it go? Your ligaments will tighten up again, and excess weight and fluid will go within a few months. However, your feet may remain a size bigger. The side-effects of pregnancyPorridge brain or baby brain syndrome What is it? You lose your keys, forget phone numbers, mislay your glasses, feel unable to make the simplest of decisions, miss appointments and so on. What causes it? When you're pregnant, levels of oestrogen and progesterone shoot up, and these are both linked to memory function. Some studies prefer the theory that your bump is a constant distraction and, while you're preoccupied with that, something's gotta give... Will it go? Tiredness after the birth can have a similar effect but it will pass and you'll find yourself like most supermums: able to remember the 1,001 things you need to in daily life, as you did before, but with all the baby's needs included now too...
