Demand Justice for Woman Who Was Fined for Reporting Her Rape
In 2008, an 18-year-old woman in Washington state reported to police that she had been sexually assaulted. But they didn't believe her, so they charged her with false reporting, and she pleaded guilty under a deal that included a fine of $500. The charge remains on her record. Three years later, Marc O'Leary, the man who raped her, was arrested in Colorado after raping at least two other women--and police found a photo of the Washington victim among his belongings.
Lynnwood police have refunded the $500 fine to the victim, and say they are working on getting the false reporting conviction removed from her record. But that's not enough to rectify the grave injustice that was done to the Washington victim, nor to be sure it won't happen again.
Ask the Lynnwood police department to take action to correct this injustice, starting with a public apology to the victim. Furthermore, to ensure that another rape survivor isn't dismissed again, ask the department to revise its policy on rape charges. Specifically, suggest that the department partner with anti-sexual assault organizations in the community to:
(1) provide a trained victim's advocate to help any woman who reports a rape
(2) mandate a sexual assault training for all officers to ensure they understand how to talk with victims—and that not all victims tell their stories in the same way.

Speaking In Riddles a Spencer Reid Fanfiction
"Oh there he is again seems your lover boy has come back for more" My friend Casey said as she elbowed me in the ribs. "Shut Up" I responded as I snuck a peek in the direction in which she nodded her head. Sure enough there he was.
He sat in his usual place in the corner of the little diner I worked at, facing the window his back towards the counter. Spencer that was his name and about all I knew about him other than he came in here every day for coffee. "Well go on get his order" my sneaky friend said even though it was her turn to serve a customer. I started to argue but one glance told me it was hopeless "fiiine…" I grumbled and made my way over to where he sat reading a newspaper.
I straightened my apron as I walked and prepared m best waitress voice and smile "Ah, nerd love" was the only comment the other waitress Kelly offered up when she saw the direction I was walking in and I resisted the urge to go back and smack her.
"Hi my name is Kate can I take your order?" I said smiling and pretending my interest in him was merely that of serving any other customer. He glanced up sharply as I had startled him and I started to apologize but he would have nothing of it. With a quiet smile he assured me it was fine and gave me his order. I smiled and caught my breath as he looked at me, his bright brown eyes seemed equal parts intense inquisitiveness and for off wanderlust, and it was hard for me to look away.
When I got back to the counter I promptly relayed his order and to the disappointment of my friends went about my duties after I told them I hadn't talked to him further. I mean this guy just started coming here like a month ago and I think he's incredibly cute and he seems incredibly interesting but I'm not about to randomly start up a conversation with him. Plus I don't think he'd respond well to that, he seems really shy.
"You should talk to him!" Kelly insisted saying that if I didn't id forever live with the "what if" doubt in my mind. "We aren't supposed to chat up customers" I remarked under my breath as I reached for the cup of steaming liquid she handed me. She countered by stating that that was a non rule since the owner Patti happened to do that all the time. I tried to control my frustration at my over eager friend and reminded her I wasn't Patti and she just rolled her eyes at me.
After taking him his order and receiving a whispered thank you and a barely there nod I went off to clean the tables I had missed and then took a seat at the counter. Staring dreamily in his direction as the other two girls talked and finished off their respective duties I started to drift off. Thankfully I wasn't completely asleep and responded fairly quickly to his clearing his throat loudly in front of me.
"Oh my God! I'm so sorry! Did you need anything?" I asked hurriedly as I blushed three different shades of crimson. He smiled and I couldn't help doing the same "umm nope juts uh the check please?" he said slowly as if caught off guard by my smiling back. As he payed I apologized again for my slight loss of consciousness. "Don't worry it's a late night" he responded with a drawn out sigh and I nodded while telling him he was lucky he could just leave unlike me who had half an hour to go on my shift. He nodded noncommittally and waved as he walked out the door into the night.
"What was that?" Casey asked as she and Kelly walked back towards the counter from the back. I diligently recounted what had just happened "he seems kind of cold to me" was all Kelly said. I shrugged trying to stifle a yawn. "Oh God you're really out of it just go home we can manage here" she said gesturing to the nearly empty place. Except for my recent customer there was no one in the little dinner but a couple sitting in a booth not to far away from us.
"What time do you have class anyway?" she asked and I checked my watch. Grimacing I realized I had less than four hours to sleep. She shooed me out as fast as she could and even got our cook Danny to walk me home. I lived a mere six blocks away and I was thankfully home in 20 minutes and drifting to sleep with images of "Spencer" within 25.

OK, here's my situation :
- I'm writing a tabbed application (using PSMTabBarControl).
- Each tab contains a
WebView(actually a
MyDocumentinstance, containing a
WebViewsubclass - but shouldn't make much difference)
- I'm using ARC.
And here's the issue :
- When adding new tabs (= documents/webviews), memory in the system monitor goes up fast
- When removing tabs, the memory is not deallocating
What's going on? Any ideas on how this could be fixed?
If you need to know anything else (e.g. specific code), please let me know. I'm about to start hitting my head against the wall with this thing...

Roasted Brussels Sprouts from Fat Free Vegan Kitchen. I've never roasted anything before. These were really balsamic-tangy and crunchy. Maybe a little too crunchy? Next time I'll leave them in longer.
Portobello/quinoa veggie patty Whole Foods sold me for $1.99 (served at their Grill) on bread from Breadsmith, with grilled onions, tomato, and pickle (enjoy my use of the Oxford comma there–I've decided to start using it). Not pictured: mustard.
Protein powerhouse! Burrito bowl with quinoa, tempeh sauteed in chile lime salsa, refried black beans, and grilled onions, and baby romaine and tomato side salad that kind of ended up as part of the party. Nom nom nom.

Thou Shalt Not Suffer by TheWizardsHarry
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 46]
Summary: I was eleven years old when I first heard about Hogwarts, but my faith told me everything about that school was evil. This is the story of how I reconciled my religion with the truth about what I am.
oooo... this is an interesting start. very intriguing.
thank you!
1) for the awesome story, i'm totally hooked. a boggart to reveal to michelle that she's a witch! her fevered response to it, snape's curt tone..... you wrote it very nicely. i am curious though; why did amanda and snape disappear? to go to greenhouse 4 while michelle was in greenhouse 3?
2) very quick updates. i have never seen a story get updated so quickly! i'm loving it!
thanks and keep up the good work! love your writing~
Author's Response: 1) That is indeed why they disappeared. :) 2) I have the first eleven chapters written and posted on FFN. I regret to say that my updates will inevitably slow down once the already-finished chapters are posted.
A Canticle for Bellatrix by L A Moody
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 12]
After being hit squarely in the chest by Molly Weasley at the end of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Bellatrix Lestrange wakes up lost and bewildered. A victim of the little-understood Bebitched Curse, she is transported through space and time to the ultimate gated community in a sunny climate. The people around her seem to possess an uncanny knowledge of the world she left behind, but none of them can work magic. Worst of all, she herself seems to be turning into a Squib. As she struggles to find her place among the very people she most despises, Bella slowly realizes that a land which reveres the magical world learns to work it own brand of magic.
Come join Bella in her voyage of self-discovery and social commentary. The Muggle world may never be the same.
genius! the reactions of the people around there were on the dot- i know i will do that if i met "bella" in the theme park. will you make bella venture out of hogwarts and hogsmeade and into other parts of the park? i would love to see bella encounter a dinosaur =p
Author's Response: Thanks for the warm praise! Im thrilled youre enjoying my take on Bellas tribulations. Her horizons will definitely be expanded in the next act and she wont be too happy about having to reshuffle her view of reality.
Considering how many ferocious creatures Voldemorts been courting, Bella might not be as perturbed by a close meeting with a dinosaur as you would think. I can just imagine her commenting that they were the result of a hopelessly moronic Muggle breeding program that had turned a majestic dragon into a cumbersome land-bound beast and robbed it of its incendiary capabilities. No wonder the creature she encountered was surly and short-tempered.
Of Understanding and Misunderstanding by MagEd

this is so sweet and sad.
Author's Response: Thanks!b

Sticks & Stones by mgle_teacher
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 3]
Summary: Hermione finally realizes Harry was right about Draco all along.
this is awesome. i think that draco might opt for cigar rather than cigarettes - only coz he seems like the kind of guy who will opt for "high-class". it's also slightly weird how hermione recognizes the brand immediately, but beyond that - awesome. very well written. the final part where she appeals to him was poignant, as well as ending the story with "Obliviate!". very nice.
Author's Response: I did consider using cigars instead of cigarettes but he's a teenager and I didn't see him running around with cigars while trying to fix the cabinet. I did choose a brand of cigarettes that is considered high-class. Also, let's just say that Hermione recognized it 'cause her father smokes or something inanely similar to that. Lol. Thanks for reviewing!
Summary: The Boy Who Lived discovers that he may not have escaped the Final Battle unscathed after all.
this is so so so sad =((( i'd like you to know that i rarely cry, but this was so moving that i cried. a big part of ginny died with harry, right? i find the use of the second-person perspective oddly apt. maybe it's just in my twisted mind, but i think ginny stopped being herself when harry turned all fragmented due to that spell. =(( i was reading the notebook today, and there was an element that echoed with this story (alzheimer's), but this was so much sadder. brilliantly written, but oh so sad! ='(
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the lovely review. It is sad, I know. I always sort of thought Harry wouldn't survive the seventh book. He did, but there had to have been consequences. This was one of them, and possibly the worst. I'm glad you liked the second person POV, since it just came to me like that and had to be that way. Thanks again for the review, I really appreciate it! *hands over tissues* ~Gina :)
Mere Wisps of Light by Equinox Chick
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 29]
Summary: It is Christmas Eve 1998, and the Magical World is shakily celebrating the first Christmas since Voldemort's defeat.
For one, though, there is no reason to celebrate. Draco Malfoy sits alone in his room refusing to join his parents as they try to regain their social standing.
He does not want to see another Christmas, but he reckons without a redoubtable figure from his past.
My name is Equinox Chick from Hufflepuff, and this story has been written for prompt four of the Great Hall Christmas Challenge over at the MNFF Beta Boards.
Thank you to Natalie for a quick beta job on this – anything to get her away from Rabelais, I guess.
Disclaimer: I am not JK Rowling. Her lawyers agree, so please don't confuse us.
The scene with Narcissa made my heart drop. It is very touching~
Author's Response: Thank you. He does love him mum after all. ~Carole~
Mercy by hogwartsbookworm
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 12]
Summary: If you knew that the consequence of doing the right thing might be torture, or even death, would you still do it?
This story was inspired by something Neville said in passing. "…And then Michael Corner went and got caught releasing a first year they'd [the Carrows] chained up, and they tortured him pretty badly…"
This is the untold tale of an unsung hero: Michael Corner.
i would like to have a "like" button to push a hundred times. this is very well written, and you did a good job in making filch humane =)
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you liked it so much. I am flattered that you think it well written. And Filch... Filch needed to show that he wasn't a soul-less vegetable sometime. No one ever seems to consider what Filch's reaction to the Carrow's regime at Hogwarts was.
Thanks for reading! And for reviewing!!
Comfort and Joy by Luna_Lover
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 13]
Summary: It's Christmas Eve, 1998, and Harry Potter is throwing a pity party. You could argue that Harry Potter is more justified than most in throwing such a party. Severus Snape, however, would be inclined to disagree with you.
I am LilyLunaPotter of Hufflepuff submitting to Prompt Four of the 2010 Great Hall Christmas Challenge.
while the ghost of christmas is a much used topic, i find your choice of ghost to be very cool. no one can be as terse and no-nonsense as snape. and i love your choice of memories. i'm waiting for the next chapters! =D
Author's Response: Thank you! The ghost of Christmas idea is actually part of the prompt on the forums for this challenge, but the idea to use Snape was mine. I'm glad you like it! ~LiLu
The Longbottom Way by Cannae be Kenobi
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 6]
Summary: Draco Malfoy pushes Neville Longbottom a step too far. AU.
brilliant. absolutely brilliant =D
Broken Chalise of Patience by serinah
Rated: Professors [Reviews - 7]
Summary: A woman of society, Astoria Malfoy nee Greengrass, has been brutally murdered - is it the money, revenge, or mindless rage? Any of those motives would automatically result in suspecting her husband.
Chief Investigator of Manslaughter Squad, Auror Potter is personally in charge of the investigation, but it is Ginevra Weasley, a rookie Auror of Morality Guard, who brings in the man Potter is looking for – Draco Malfoy. (Character death is for the murders, nothing really tragic will happen to the main characters and 'professors' rating is for violence in the epilogue, nothing more sinister.)
i don't like the idea of draco killing his wife, but this story is very intriguing. keep writing please!
Fool Me Twice by Dawnie
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 110]
Lily Evans is pretty, intelligent, vivacious… and accused of murder. James Potter is privileged, arrogant, and conceited… and her best chance at avoiding Azkaban. If only he wasn't convinced of her guilt.
With a war looming in the background and evil slowly seeping into the wizarding world, seven years of secrets unravel, and two very different people find themselves caught up in a battle against privilege, intolerance, and greed.
But even in the darkness, and even in the despair, there is still friendship, and love, and hope.
i like your writing style =) the way you ended your chapter is very powerful.
Author's Response: Thanks! I hope you continue to enjoy the story.
Magic in my Tree by Grace has Victory
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 24]
Summary: How would you react if everything you had always believed impossible turned up in the centre of your family?
A series of one-shots narrated by Muggles whose sibling, lover or child turned out to be a wizard.
damn. how many times have i heard people saying that Harry Potter is Satanic? you hit the nail on the head alright. awesome story.
Author's Response: I wonder how many of those people have read Deathly Hallows? It isn't exactly a subtle or hidden message...
Hell's Bells by ToBeOrNotToBeAGryffindor
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 37]
It was the worst news a father could receive: his son was marrying his worst enemy's daughter.
But for Draco Malfoy, being in the role of the reasonable parent was in itself a debacle as he tried to make the best of a bad situation. But when circumstances forced him to spend more time than he ever cared to with the most irritating Mudblood on the planet, he constantly questioned his sanity, as well as that of his son.
However, Draco might have come to realise that things change, as well as people. Is Hermione Granger Weasley the mad bint he remembered, or were they both a little different this time around?
A Dra-Comedy.Â

Wild Card by ToBeOrNotToBeAGryffindor
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 14]
It was going to happen eventually: Oliver Wood had to retire. But when the decision was made for him, he allowed himself to be tricked into grooming his replacement. However, coaching proved to be a completely different animal, especially when the untried and unbridled Roxanne Weasley pushed his limits every step of the way.

Eldritch by eldritcher
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 6]
Summary: Albus believed in the greater good. Tom Riddle believed in the right to survive. Aberforth believed that he could save them both.
this story is getting more and more delightful. i wish that albus had stepped in and stopped matthew before tom went overboard, because then at least amy would still like tom. argh. but you hit the nail right on the head with aberforth's analysis of albus: "This moment, you want nothing more than to prove that he is a murderer in making." i like how you make albus begin to see his prejudices and favoritism. i guess even the best of wizards have flaws. great chapter as usual, and i look forward to reading more =)
Author's Response: Hi again! It's great to hear that you're liking the characterisation of Albus. I hope he stays true to form in the coming chapters and doesn't end up sappy! I hope to update soon! Thank you for telling me what you thought of the chapter :)
ooooh this explains every question i had in the previous chapter! again, i think you understand dumbledore's character very well. of course castle albus would take time to research the oddities before acting. excellent characterization again! i am very amused, by the way, by the deference albus gives to castle albus.
p/s- thanks for the clarification about aloysius v alastor~! having abraxas malfoy as a kid in this chapter also helped with putting the timeline you are working with in context. =)
Author's Response: We shall have to see how quickly the deference becomes exasperation and indignation. Albus might be older, but he is still very prone to sulking when things don't go his way...discreetly, of course! It's great to hear that you liked the chapter. I hope you continue to enjoy the rest of it too. re: p/s - my fault! I had sent poor Albus tumbling into a strange timeline and didn't have the good sense to put a short note about the relative age of characters. Sorry if that muddled things.
albus seems a little different, but it's really nice to see him more human. i like your characterization of the young tom riddle a lot. he seems pretty adult every now and then, but i really like it anyway. please continue writing! i look forward to updates! =)
Author's Response: Thank you for reading and talking, Littlewolf! I hope that the characterisations hold true to the plot in the coming chapters and that you will enjoy them too! Updated now :)
Another great chapter! The plot is thickening and things are definitely getting very interesting... Moody and Bode's responses were so hostile! Granted, Tom almost killed Ollivander and speaks Parseltongue, but they had immediate hatred rather than surprise. I don't like Bode already. And while I usually hate/fear snakes, I feel bad for Hero T.T
Thick emotions: very fitting.
Castle Albus seems too aloof and too unconcerned for Aberforth. Did you write him to be still too young and much less wise about the world? How can the great proponent of "love" be so unloving towards his brother? =(( Still, the "lemon drops?" suggestion at the end was 100% in character and super awesome.
Great chapter again =) Little nitpick: unless that Moody is not Mad-Eye Moody, his first name is actually Alastor.
Author's Response: Hey, hello! I'm glad that you liked the chapter :) I'm glad that the lemon-drops suggestion at the end of the chapter works! I've been trying to delineate the characters of Castle Albus and old Albus in the coming chapters and I hope that works... I am not too fond of snakes myself. Ranks right next to frogs in my book. Aloysius is Alastor's Dad :) I was thinking that Alastor (Mad-Eye) might be at school around the same time as Tom Riddle. I'm too sure about Alastor's canon age, though.

Best Gun Range (2008)
Top Gun Handgun Training and Shooting Center
If you own a pistol/rifle/weapon, chances are you have a favorite place to shoot — and Top Gun should be that place, with its spacious indoor range and cheap fees. Monday is seniors' day, and anyone older than 62 can shoot for free. Women get the same deal on Wednesdays. There's a nice area to relax, decked out with hunting lodge-esque furniture and decor. The store has a cafeteria, meeting rooms and plenty of friendly staffers. The real genius of Top Gun, however, is that even if you don't own a gun, you can still unload with an Uzi. For $30 an hour, anyone older than 21 can rent a fully automatic weapon — including the Thompson submachine gun — though the deal comes with a "babysitter" for the range. Handguns are also available for $10 per hour. The store offers a variety of classes, from concealed handgun certification to training with tactical weapons. Top Gun gets bonus points for recycling all spent cartridges and for its nice display of Star Trek and Star Wars memorabilia, including official Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader Lightsabers, and a Storm Trooper Blaster.

By: Edcel C. Lagman
(Eulogy for former Rep. Miguel L. Romero delivered on
20 January 2015 at Christ the King Church, Green Meadows)
Our condolences again to Menchu, the composed and ever gracious widow of former Representative Miguel L. Romero, and their bereaved children, grandchildren, in-laws, Mike's surviving sisters Mary Ann and Chinky and other relatives.
There could be no better friend than Mike Romero. In fact, he was the best of friends to countless of us.
Mike went out of his way to help friends in need; he fought for friends under siege; and he even defied conventions for friends in distress.
That was "Don Miguel", as we fondly called Mike, with his big heart and boundless generosity.
I was closely associated with Mike shortly before Martial Law when we formed the Romero and Lagman Law Office at the 10th Floor of Sarmiento Building on Ayala Avenue. Mike was the "rainmaker" as he brought in the clients, and I was the advocate who serviced them, of course together with Mike.
Romero and Lagman later became Romero Lagman and Pasamba Law Office. Atty. Eladio "Ely" Pasamba, a tax lawyer and a certified public accountant, passed away almost a year ago.
With the entry of two more partners, the law firm became Romero Lagman Pasamba Evangelista and Ermitaño Law Office.
Later on, at a new location in Gammon House along Rada Street, the law office was renamed Romero Lagman Chato and Torres. Atty. Ruben Torres became Secretary of Labor and subsequently Executive Secretary of President Fidel Ramos.
I recall listening to Mike while he was on the phone when he said "Comadre, (talking to President Cory Aquino) Atty. Ruben Torres will be a good Secretary of Labor." The rest is history.
Our law firm produced three Congressmen: Representative Miguel L. Romero, who represented the Second District of Negros Oriental; Representative Edcel C. Lagman, who represented the First District of Albay; and Rep. Ruben D. Torres, who represented the Second District of Zambales.
Mike and I were together in the House of Representatives from the 8th to the 10th Congresses (1987-1998). Although we differed in some controversial issues, we collaborated in the enactment of important statutes principally authored and co-authored by Congressman Romero, among others, the following:
(1) House Bill No. 10 which was incorporated in the Local Government Code (Republic Act No. 7160) providing for an equitable share of local government units in the proceeds from the utilization and development of the national wealth in their respective areas;
(2) R.A. Nos. 7256 and 7274 increasing the bed capacities of hospitals in the cities of Bais and Dumaguete;
(3) R.A. No. 7875, An Act Further Restructuring the Medical Care Benefits under the Philippine Medical Care Plan;
(4) R.A. No. 7638, An Act Creating the Department of Energy;
(5) R.A. No. 8282, An Act Providing for Increased Investments in Housing under the Social Security System;
(6) R.A. No. 8626, An Act Designating the Bayanihan Philippine Dance Company as the Philippine National Folk Dance Company;
(7) Republic Act No. 6655 establishing free secondary education; and
(8) Republic Act No. 8050 upgrading the practice and education of optometry in the country.
The range of the subjects of the laws Congressman Romero authored and co-authored reveals that he was able to balance local and national concerns in his legislative agenda.
As a neophyte legislator in 1987, Mike headed the House contingent in the powerful Commission on Appointments and became Vice Chairman of the Commission.
Mike was also an enterprising businessman. He owned the majority shares in Guitarmasters, Inc. and Asian Trading Corporation (ATC), which was the exclusive distributor of the Toro Turf Irrigation Sprinklers in the Philippines.
Under his stewardship, ATC installed the turf irrigation system at the Luneta Park, Puerto Azul Golf and Country Club, Wack Wack Golf and Country Club, Valley Golf and Country Club, Alabang Golf Club and the Paoay Lake Golfclub.
The only golf course of consequence at that time which ATC was not able to irrigate was the Malacañang Golf Club. The reason was that I was considered a "security risk" as an activist even as I was Executive Vice President of ATC.
We also referred to "Don Miguel" as "no problem Mike". To him, there was no problem without any solution. And retreating from or avoiding a problem was not an option. To Mike, this enduring philosophy applied to all aspects of life: law, politics and family.
I surmise Mike must be telling all of us now: "There is no problem. I simply passed on after a good life."
Speech delivered by REP. EDCEL C. LAGMAN
at the "Symposium on Reproductive Health and Other Special Laws: Towards a Gender Friendly Workplace" sponsored by the Employers Confederation of the Philippines (ECOP) on 13 February 2013 at the Henry Sy Auditorium, St. Luke's Global City, Taguig
Capital and labor have inherent and traditional conflict of interest. Marxian theory stresses that these differences are rooted on "class antagonisms". The adversarial positions of the "bourgeoisie" and the "proletariat" pervades up to the present.
The government as the third party in the new system of tripartism, mediates the conflict or harmonizes the relationship when it chooses to be an impartial referee. However, there are times when the government concedes to the pressure of the more dominant party.
It is truly auspicious that capital and labor have momentarily set aside their "class antagonisms" in jointly supporting the enactment of the Reproductive Health Bill, now enshrined in our statute books as Republic Act No. 10354.
Thus, during the height of the RH controversy, a news account datelined 06 August 2012 clearly reported that "Five of the country's largest business groups have issued a unified statement calling on the Senate and the House of Representatives to 'pass into law without further delay the Responsible Parenthood, Reproductive Health and Population and Development Act of 2011 as embodied in House Bill No. 4244 and Senate Bill 2865.'"
In their statement, the Employers Confederation of the Philippines (ECOP), Financial Executives Institute of the Philippines (FINEX), Makati Business Club (MBC), Management Association of the Philippines (MAP) and the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) reiterated their statement of principles on reproductive health issued in October 2010.
This previous statement of principles manifested that:
1. Government must encourage responsible parenthood and family planning as a direct strategy for poverty reduction and maternal and child healthcare.
2. Parents ultimately have to make their own decisions given alternative choices.
3. Family planning policy must provide lowest-cost access for the very poor to the services and materials to implement their free and informed choice.
4. Unequivocal opposition to any measure that condones abortion in any way, limits free choice, and mandates the means to implement such choice.
The foregoing principles of business find affirmation in the language and spirit of the Reproductive Health Law.
Similarly, labor groups like the Bukluran ng Manggagawang Pilipino (BMP), Partido ng Manggagagwa (PM) and Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP) sought the immediate passage of the RH bill.
The common advocacy of capital and labor for the approval of the RH bill is an accurate assessment and firm realization that an RH law would be mutually beneficial to them.
Therefore, it behooves capital and labor to comply with the Reproductive Health Law and help monitor and oversee its accurate, faithful and speedy implementation.
But before I discuss the benefits and import of the RH law to capital and labor, allow me first to briefly review the salient provisions of this historic legislation which are consistent with its pristine formulation and original policy orientation constituting the rationale for its enactment.
1. The State is mandated to promote universal access to reproductive health and family planning services, supplies and information, including voluntary contraception, which are medically-safe, non-abortifacient, quality, effective, legal and affordable with priority to acceptors from poor and marginalized sectors who shall receive for free RH services and commodities (Section 2 on Declaration of Policy).
2. The hallmark of the RH law is freedom of informed choice which shall not be subject to any form of coercion or erosion (Section 3-a of the Guiding Principles for Implementation).
3. Massive nationwide information campaign on reproductive health and rights is mandated to truly afford potential beneficiaries and acceptors informed choice (Section 20 on Public Awareness).
4. The implementation of the Act shall be the joint responsibility of the national government and the local government units, with the national government extending financial and technical support to needy local government units (LGUs) (Sections 5, 6, 8, 16 and 20).
5. The principal elements of RH are intact and enhanced (Section 4-q).
6. Improvement of services for pregnant women and safe motherhood is assured (Sections 5, 6 and 18).
7. Women suffering from post-abortion complications shall be "treated and counseled in a humane, non-judgmental and compassionate manner" (Section 3-j).
8. Inclusion in the Philippine National Drug Formulary of hormonal contraceptives, intrauterine devices, injectables and other safe, legal, non-abortifacient family planning products and supplies is mandated (Section 9).
9. Mandatory age and development-appropriate reproductive health education is assured for adolescents enrolled in public elementary and secondary schools with the curriculum prepared by the Department of Education adoptable by private schools (Section 14).
10. PhilHealth benefits for serious and life-threatening reproductive health conditions are granted (Section 12).
11. The provisions on prohibited acts and penalties have been retained to assure compliance with the law (Sections 23 and 24).
12 Private health facilities and hospitals are mandated to provide family planning services to paying patients with the option to grant free care and services to indigents (Section 7).
The foregoing principal provisions attest that the RH law is not a watered-down measure. We have rejected "killer amendments" which would diminish or destroy the essence of the RH advocacy.
And now, to the relevance of the RH law to businessmen and investors as well as to workers.
In addition to requisite capital and proficient management, what assures success in business, agriculture, commerce and industry is a healthy, skillful, qualified, competent, reliable and productive workforce.
Capital cannot do it alone. Labor is an indispensable partner.
An inordinately huge population growth rate of 1.9% which translates to annual increase in population of approximately 2 million people, like in the Philippines, exacerbates unemployment and depresses wages. More entrants to the labor market which are untapped increase the unemployment rate, while the effort to accommodate more workers results to lower wages.
This is a fatal combination which menaces both capital and labor.
The reproductive health law creates the enabling environment to correct and finally obliterate the foregoing negative factors.
Among the beneficiaries of the RH Law are the marginalized workers who will be voluntary recipients of free reproductive health information and services, including family planning and contraception by choice.
On the other hand, employers are among the mandated providers of RH services and commodities. Section 134 of the Labor Code, which is intact, complements the enforcement of the RH law. The said provision reads:
"Establishments which are required by law to maintain a clinic or infirmary shall provide free family planning services to their employees which shall include, but not be limited to, the application or use of contraceptive pills and intrauterine devices."
The following adverse statistics are the prevailing relevant data to capital and labor that the RH law will reverse and improve:
1. The total wanted fertility rate in the Philippines is 2.4 children, while the actual total fertility rate is 3.3 children or a difference of an additional child per woman of reproductive age on the average.
Much of the gap between desired and actual fertility in the Philippines is attributable to low contraceptive use (51%) and high levels of unmet need for contraception (22.8%).
This gap is alarmingly high in women in the poorest quintile. Poor women prefer less children than what they actually have because according to the 2006 Family Planning Survey, an average of 44% of pregnancies in the poorest 10% of Filipino women are unwanted.
The National Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) 2008 reveals that in the poorest quintile, the actual fertility rate is 5.2 children which approximates the actual total fertility rate of the country 40 years ago in the early 1970s. This may mock credence, but is unfortunately true.
These bleak statistics, which impact adversely on the workforce wherein close to 50% are women, is the result of the long absence of a national and comprehensive policy on reproductive health and family planning.
A study in Cebu entitled "Effect of Childbearing on Filipino Women's Labor Force Participation and Earnings" (1997) concludes that there are "strong negative effects of additional live births on women's total and hourly earnings, suggesting a strong potential for family planning, if it limits births, to affect women's economic well-being."
It also found that "earnings per unit of work time also decline with childbearing", suggesting that "women shift to lower paying jobs that are more compatible with their reproductive roles."
The study cited an allied research on "Women's Work and Family Size in Thailand" (1990) which documents that "women in developing countries are faced with competing demands of reproductive and productive roles. It has been argued that by limiting family size, constraints to productive economic activities are reduced."
Another study, "Healthier Mothers and Children Through Family Planning" (1984) reports that there "are significant health costs for women in developing countries of high levels of reproductive stress, particularly coupled with chronic under-nutrition and physically demanding work."
"Repeated cycles of pregnancy and lactation can deplete maternal energy and nutrient stores" said a similar study on "Frequent Reproductive Cycling: Does It Lead To Nutritional Depletion of Mothers", indicating adverse effects on productivity.
The inordinate frequency of pregnancy and childbirth of women in private employment alone is reflected in the grant of the 60-day maternity leave benefits by the Social Security System (SSS). The SSS reports that for the past three (3) years, a total of P11.38 billion had been disbursed to 624,507 maternity leave claimants. This is disaggregated into P3.63-B in 2010 for 203,724 beneficiaries; P3.80-B in 2011 for 208,641 claimants; and P3.95-B in 2012 for 212,142 pregnant women. Note that the figures are escalating both in the amount of claims and the number of claimants every year.
These high aggregates are not mean figures which affect women workers' productivity and the disruption of personnel placement in the workplace. Not included in the summaries are the paternity leave benefits of seven days with pay to which married male employees are entitled for the first four deliveries of their legitimate spouse. A reduction in the rates of pregnancy and childbirth would amount to considerable savings on the part of the SSS which could be channeled to low cost loans to members and productivity incentives for member-employees.
2. There is extremely low contraceptive use among poor women. On the whole, the contraceptive prevalence rate (CPR) of the Philippines is only 51%. This pales in comparison with the CPR in other Catholic countries like Brazil with 81%, Argentina with 78%, France with 71%, Portugal with 67%, Spain with 66%, Ireland with 64.8% and Italy with 60%
With higher CPR, the foregoing Catholic countries have much lower population growth rate than the Philippines' 1.9%. Poland has 0.07%, Portugal 0.18%, Italy 0.3%, France 0.4%, Spain 0.6%, Argentina 0.9% and Brazil 1.01%.
The low CPR of the Philippines results in a staggering 3.4-M annual pregnancies, more than half of which are unintended and 90% of these occur to women who either use no method or use a traditional one, according to the Guttmacher Institute.
In a study conducted in the Philippines in 2009, the Guttmacher Institute further said:
"Expanding access to contraception could result in 800,000 fewer unplanned births, 500,000 fewer induced abortions and 200,000 fewer miscarriages. What's more, it could prevent as many as 2,100 maternal deaths each year – nearly half of all deaths from pregnancy-related causes. Better access to contraceptive services could also save 120,000 productive years of women's lives, years are that are currently lost to ill-health resulting from unintended pregnancies.
"Investing in contraceptive services not only enables women and their families to plan their births and avoid the serious health complications that often accompany unintended pregnancies. It also saves money. Although the initial expense of providing contraception to all women in need may seem great, the cost associated with unintended pregnancies including treating the consequences of unsafe abortion are much higher."
Over 50% of the poorest 20% of women do not use any form of family planning not because they do not want to but because of lack of information and access to services and commodities according to the 2006 Family Planning Survey.
Results of the NDHS 2008 also show that of the 51% of married women availing of contraception, 34% use modern methods and 16.7% use traditional methods like withdrawal and calendar-rhythm which are simply not effective.
The bulk of women employed in various jobs come from the lower quintiles who are deprived of the requisite RH information and services. This results to unremitting pregnancies which reduce levels of productivity and earnings.
The Reproductive Health Law will empower women to exercise their reproductive health right to freely and responsibly determine the number and spacing of their children, thus mitigating, if not arresting, the ill-effects on productivity of the repeated cycles of pregnancy, childbirth and lactation.
3. Unemployment and underemployment rates are aggravated by an inordinately huge population growth rate. Inclusive growth is elusive because joblessness persists as more people enter the labor force annually without finding any visible and viable employment.
As more voluntary acceptors of family planning are convinced of the efficacy of planning the number and interval of births, eventually the pressure of unemployment would lessen and the economy will be liberated from joblessness.
4. The traditional backlogs in education – dearth of teachers, classrooms, books and instructional materials – are almost insoluble because of the escalating number of enrollees every school year. The enormity of these problems negates the constitutional prescription for quality education, deters skills development and aggravates the cohort survival or drop-out rate, all of which bloat the supply of unemployable, unskillful and unproductive manpower.
The RH law will ease the backlogs in education and will help promote quality education and adequate skills development, and eventually produce a qualified and productive reservoir of workers for capital and business.
5. A huge population growth rate makes multi-billion peso budgetary allocations for healthcare appear miniscule. "Dying without seeing a doctor" is as real and macabre as the graveyard. Unhealthy job seekers, who are hardly employable, invariably join the labor market.
With the RH law in place, the promotion of reproductive health and family planning will logically and eventually mitigate the population growth rate. With a leaner population and smaller families, both the government and parents can effectively invest in human capital, particularly on health and education.
Both capital and labor will benefit from this scenario as qualified workers are employed who will raise levels of productivity and output.
Dr. Ernesto M. Pernia, a noted economist from the UP School of Economics and an ardent RH advocate, sums up the advantages to capital and labor owing to the enactment of the RH law in this wise:
"The RH law capacitates parents to have the number of children they want and can afford. Hence, there will be better quality children in terms of parental care, health and education. Thus, when they join the labor market, they will be more able, skillful, employable and productive. Likewise, government's budget savings from having to subsidize needlessly many children in public health services and education could be used for key infrastructure that also raises the economy's productive potential and demand for labor, thereby absorbing labor force increases – a potential virtuous cycle."
Relatedly, the Institute for Management Development noted that "the Philippines' failure to improve labor productivity and infrastructure prevented it from improving its overall competitiveness ranking."
It is said that there are "three factors that are co-related with the various measures of competitiveness, namely: productivity, infrastructure and employment growth." The country's employment growth is not matched by parallel growths in productivity and infrastructure. Reproductive health has great relevance to the acceleration of productivity and infrastructure.
The RH law will propel the emergence of a healthy, educated, skillful, and competent workforce which would enhance productivity and output in the workplace. Government's net savings from healthcare and education as the population growth rate is mitigated can be used to finance more infrastructure to enhance the investment climate.
But we have not legislated a magic wand. We must not expect instant benefits. However, the beneficent effects of the RH law are sure to come with the proper, expeditious and faithful implementation of this historic statute which has long range effects on our economy, the alleviation of mass poverty and the achievement of a sustainable human development.
Thank you.
Keynote Speech of
on the occasion of the forum on
Establishing the Links Between Reproductive Health,
Population, and Climate Change
04 February 2013, Luxent Hotel, Quezon City
The nexus among population, reproductive health and climate change are empirically given as they are well-established and validated.
Throughout the long years of campaigning for the enactment of the RH law, the Philippine Legislators Committee on Population and Development (PLCPD) has maintained that the absence of a comprehensive and national policy on RH also contributed to the level of devastation and impact of climate change on the lives of people.
The Philippines is no stranger to both man-made calamities and natural disasters. The inordinately violent typhoons and weather disturbances that have battered our country in the last few years demonstrate the dire consequences of climate change and must spur government to effectively mitigate global warming and environmental degradation.
In the months leading to the much-celebrated enactment of the RH law, the protracted debates revolved mostly around contraceptive use, maternal and infant health, youth sexuality education and religious freedom.
There was hardly any mention of the link between reproductive health and family planning with climate change or the protection of the environment.
The RH supporters who expressed their support by witnessing the debates inside the plenary hall, campaigning for the bill in forums all over the country and marching in the streets were mostly members of women's groups, human rights NGOs, the urban poor and mass organizations. Environmental activists or green crusaders among them did not articulate much the linkage between RH and the environment.
Despite the correlation between the issues of population and environmental protection, it is a link that environmentalists and the green movement may have downplayed probably because of the fear of alienating a public that is receptive to the idea of environmental conservation but could incorrectly associate reproductive health with abortion.
On the other hand, RH was not considered a "green issue" simply because not many realize that the historic RH law is also a calamity-risk reduction policy.
The connection between a runaway population growth rate brought about by the inaccessibility of reproductive health services and family planning options for women in poor countries like the Philippines and conservation and environment protection is unmistakable.
Addressing climate change and putting a halt to the deterioration of the environment need not be costly and must not be limited to investments in green technologies.
Since a huge population and calamities are fatal partners, the mitigation of the population growth rate as a logical consequence of promoting universal access to reproductive health and family planning, will enhance the Philippines' positive response to climate change mitigation and adaptation.
Take note that the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC) defines climate change as "a change of climate which is attributed directly or indirectly to human activity that alters the composition of the global atmosphere and which is in addition to natural climate variability observed over comparable time periods."
This definition truly demonstrates the link between population and climate change.
Way back in 2004, Conservation International-Philippines, the DENR and NEDA conducted a much needed study entitled "Mapping Population-Biodiversity Connections in the Philippines" (MPBCP) which examined the interrelatedness of rapid population growth and the continuing deterioration of our environment.
The paper emphasized that "policies and interventions that focus on biodiversity conservation alone are insufficient in abating biodiversity losses and destruction of forest resources unless population and development concerns are adequately addressed."
The British medical journal Lancet also recently underscored the connection of population dynamics, reproductive health and rights and climate change. It asserted that reducing unmet need for family planning "could slow high rates of population growth, thereby reducing demographic pressure on the environment."
The journal cited a paper published by the London School of Economics (LSE) in August 2009 that highlighted the direct link between a rapidly growing population and climate change. The paper asserted categorically that "family planning is a cost effective tool in reducing carbon emissions."
The paper emphasized that spending a mere $7.00 on family planning will help reduce carbon dioxide emissions by one ton. To similarly decrease carbon dioxide emissions by a ton, the study says that government has to spend $51.00, $24.00, and $13.00 on solar energy, wind energy and deforestation programs, respectively.
The Lancet echoed the call of the LSE economists for increased investments in family planning to arrest climate change. It maintained that "[i]gnoring high rates of population growth in parts of the world is likely to jeopardize the success of other responses to climate change".
Truly, lesser emitters mean lesser emissions.
The following are the relevant impacts of the RH law on population in relation to calamity-risk reduction and management:
1. Upholding the basic human right to reproductive self-determination wherein couples and women are empowered to freely and responsibly determine the number and spacing of their children.
2. Enabling couples and women to meet their fertility goals. Studies have shown that the gap between wanted and actual fertility rates is alarmingly high in women in the poorest quintile. This simply means that poor women prefer less children than what they actual have. According to the 2006 Family Planning Survey, an average of 44% of pregnancies in the poorest 10% of Filipino women are unwanted.
3. Increasing the contraceptive prevalence rate (CPR). Again, the FPS 2006 reveals that contraceptive use remains extremely low among poor women whose families are at greatest risk during disasters. Among the poorest 20% of women, over 50% do not use any form of family planning because of lack of information and access to services and commodities.
4. Decreasing teenage pregnancies as a result of age and development-appropriate reproductive health and sexuality education. Despite the drop in teen marriages, teenage pregnancies in the country have increased by 65% over a 10-year period from 2000-2010 according to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and Plan Philippines. Teenage pregnancy in the Philippines is among the highest in the world.
5. Decreasing migration as fewer children exert less pressure on parents to seek the elusive "greener pasture" in urban centers.
6. Generating more savings from lesser government intervention and expenditure for pregnancy and maternity-related health services which can be channeled to climate change mitigation and adaptation policies and facilities.
Empirical studies have shown that global pressures like population growth, urbanization, economic pressures, environmental degradation and war are likely to play a role in shaping local vulnerabilities to natural disasters and in the severity of the impact of climate change.
Another paper published by the London School of Economics entitled "Key Elements of a Global Deal on Climate Change", underscores that by 2050, eight billion out of a world population of nine billion will live in what is currently termed the 'developing world.'
These same developing countries are the ones more exposed to and at greater risk to climate change impacts. Thus by 2050, we will have around 90% of the world's population vulnerable to disasters. That is why developing countries like the Philippines should play a strong role in shaping international agreements and policies on climate change.
In the Philippines, the National Framework Strategy and Plan on Climate Change and the National Climate Change Action Plan – both formulated by the Climate Change Commission – underscore population as a factor that should be considered in understanding and addressing the vulnerabilities of the country to climate change.
More particularly, the document states that "population growing exponentially and migrating into areas where they should not be contribute to the overall vulnerability of the country to additional external threats like climate change."
By helping couples and women meet their fertility goals, the RH law will frontally address the problems spawned by calamities, ecological despoliation and climate change because a decrease in fertility rates will also reduce the magnitude of the carbon footprint of each human being on the environment as well as reduce the adverse effects of human activity on the ecology even as lesser people will make risk-management more efficient and adequate.
Even with the passage of the RH law, PLCPD will not rest on its laurels as it aims to even intensify its advocacy through this forum on the interconnection between reproductive health and climate change. Our goal is aimed not only on increasing the awareness of policymakers but also to come up with concrete actions to address the linkages between and among RH, population and climate change.
There can be no better time for this than now as we approach the election campaign period. This early, we need to educate candidates that these issues should be at the forefront of their electoral platforms and we need their commitment that their advocacy will translate to policy once elected.
I am certain that this forum will help participants realize that we cannot have an effective conservation or climate change policy that is not interlinked with population and RH. In the same manner, any serious RH policy cannot be effective if it does not include conservation and environmental protection in its objectives.
We would like to thank the Population Action International for supporting us in this undertaking. We hope that through this activity policymakers and various stakeholders will join hands with us in realizing our common goal of achieving a better quality of life for every Filipino, where reproductive health is considered an inherent right which directly relates to environmental protection and mitigates the impact of climate change.

There is an identity in your keychain that you should export and move to the new machine. It's named 'Apple Configurator (xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx).

I haven't tried what you are asking specifically "Has anyone else tied the Apple desktop or laptop they configured to use with Apple Configurator to a backup system yet and tried restoring?"
but I have moved the com.apple.configurator folder to other user accounts and computers and had Configurator work correctly under the other accounts and on the other computers.
The reason I've done this is because I've set up several mobile iPod carts. I originally prepared the iPods on an admin account on a MacBook that is with each cart. Then I moved the com.apple.configurator folder to the generic account that teachers and the school tech will use to manage the iPods at the schools. Apple Configurator hasn't complained about the move to a different user account.
I've also had to do some troubleshooting as I was learning to use Apple Configurator, so I would move the com.apple.configurator folder from the MacBook I was working on to my own computer, and once again, Apple Configurator worked without complaints, and retained all the settings, apps, etc. that I had set up in it on the MacBook.

Can you please provide in detail how you did this. Thanks

Sorry to take so long to respond. With Configurator 1.2, Apple moved the config folder to another location, and it took some looking to find it. I'm assuming from the moved location, that the program is being sandboxed now (at least in Mountain Lion).
This article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5194 talks about where the config folder is stored. What I did was copy that config folder (called com.apple.configurator, which is now in ~/Library/Container/com.apple.configurator/Data/Library/Application Support) to a storage drive (a server, in my case) to back it up. I then copied the folder to the same location on my computer. Logged out then back in (I assume you can just restart Finder to do the same), then Configurator picks up the new database.
Hope this helps.

in response to DC11
Update: Just copy the com.apple.configurator folder in ~/Library/Containers to wherever you want to back the Configurator database to. To move it to another machine, just place this folder in the same place on the new computer.
Also, be aware that the folder gets relatively large (>1GB) as you add updates and apps to Configurator. Depending on your network's speed, copying this folder to a network share can take awhile.
Let me know if you need any additional info.

I can't figure out how to knit 2 in one in your free hat pattern. Could you explain!! Thanks for all the inforReplyDelete
you can knit and purl in the same stitch= 2 in 1.ReplyDelete
Your link to the free pattern for your adorable "Sauerkraut" mini sock-monkey is missing over on your Ravelry site. So many inquiries there! Could you possibly take a quick minute to go and add it? Thanks so much-can't wait to download it! ♥ :-DReplyDeleteReplies
You can find the link for "Sauerkraut" in Everything, but knooking in Pages on the margin to the right of page. Thank You :)Delete
Got it, thanks!ReplyDelete
For those who might also be looking for this adorable pattern but didn't quite get that reply at first, like me, the pattern link can be found in the "Everything, but knooking" category to the right. -->
PS. There's also a pending question about a "hand file" for converting small crochet hooks into "knooks" with pony bead thread over at your "Sock Knooking Hook" post - thanks! ��ReplyDelete

Polish manager Waldemar Fornalik was keeping his cards close to his chest when he met the media in Aviva Stadium on the eve of Wednesday's friendly international with Ireland. As per his tradition, Giovanni Trapattoni named his team a day ahead of the game while Fornalik, despite probing from the Polish press, was sticking with his own tradition of only announcing the team on the day of the game.
Most speculation about Fornalik's team revolves around the goalkeeping situation and who to choose from between the two English based goalkeepers in his squad. The decision is between Arsenal's Wojciech Szczesny and Southampton's 'keeper Arthur Boruc. Fornalik hinted that both may play a part in the game but the goalkeeping situation "is a competition. We haven't made a decision yet."
Fornalik is looking forward to playing in front of the Aviva Stadium crowd that could well provide a home-like atmosphere for his team. "It is very hard to say who the favourite is as there will be so many supporters from Poland. If there was only Irish supporters, they would have the 12th player but in this scenario it is hard to say who is the favourite."
Both sides were eliminated in the group stages of Euro 2012 but Poland, who drew against Greece and Russia, only went out when they conceded a late goal to the Czech Republic in their final group game. Ireland's performances, admittedly in a much harder group, were thoroughly forgettable, as was the 6-1 defeat to Germany last Autumn.
Fornalik wasn't reading too much into that heavy loss to Germany. "We have analysed the Irish team. It is hard to base our opinion's on the game against Germany. We are ready for every option to be honest," he said in relation to Ireland's formation. "Let us not forget that the Irish team took part in Euro 2012. They got into Euro 2012, this is quite crucial. Every team after such a tournament goes through a process of change which could be quite problematic. Ireland is also going through that process of change. Ireland can do quite well and will not be an easy team to beat."
Fornalik has had to deal with the loss of influential defender Lukasz Piszczek. The Borussia Dortmund player picked up a hip injury at the weekend against Bayer Leverkusen and, while he joined up with the Polish squad at the weekend, he returned to Germany on Tuesday while the rest of the squad travelled to Dublin. Widzew Lodz's Lukasz Broz was called up as a replacement.
The Polish manager admitted "this is a problem for us. The replacement for Piszczek will be somebody who will bring a lot of value to the team so that should diminish the loss. There are three possibilities of players who could play in that position." These include Sebastian Boenisch and Marci Wasiliewski but Jakub Wawrzyniak from Legia Warswa is expected to start.
Grzegorz Krychowiak will anchor the midfield but as to who will play along side him, well, Fornalik was giving nothing away. "I will not answer this question in front of the media. The players will find out first. We have a few candidates and a few options for us. I don't think there will be too many surprises."
Poland currently lie third in Group H behind Montenegro and England with Ukraine behind them in the table and the focus after this friendly will be their home game with Ukraine next month. "I would like to say that this match is quite important to us. It is a very important test before the World Cup elimination matches and before the match with Ukraine. The group of players that came with us is a strong group of players. They can show good football. We count on our team and we count on their good performance."
Poland (probable): Wojciech Szcz?sny (Arsenal); Jakub Wawrzyniak (Legia Warsaw), Damien Perquis (Real Betis), Kamil Glik (Torino), Sebastian Boenisch (Bayer Leverkusen); Jakub B?aszczykowski (Borussia Dortmund), Grzegorz Krychowiak (Reims), Daniel ?ukasik (Legia Warsaw), Adrian Mierzejewski (Trabzonspor); Ludovic Obraniak (Bordeaux), Robert Lewandowski (Borussia Dortmund).

Sales rep transport manager operator has O-licence revoked
Traffic Commissioner (TC) for Scotland, Joan Aitken, has revoked the O-licence of Scottish operator Strathplant Hire after she was told the nominated transport manager had a full-time job as a sales rep at another business.
In a written decision following a public inquiry in Edinburgh in August, the TC said Forfar-based sole trader George Hill, who traded as Strathplant Hire, was no longer professionally competent or had financial standing.
Strathplant was granted an O-licence in April 2009 for six vehicles and seven trailers.
In December 2010 the nominated transport manager on the licence, Maureen Towns, advised the TC that she had left the business.
On the application form for a new transport manager, Hill said his nominee Campbell McNab worked from Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm, as a sales representative for Jewson, travelling from Montrose to the North of Scotland.
Hill proposed that McNab would work for Strathplant for eight hours on Saturday and Sunday and two hours on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Additionally, McNab would be available through text messaging to his smart phone and emails to his private laptop computer.
The nomination was refused by the TC and Hill was asked to provide an alternative name.
Hill failed to do this, and neither he nor McNab attended the inquiry.
Aitken said she needed to be persuaded that the arrangement that was proposed between Hill and McNab was a genuine one.

Part of my Alien series and tribute to the makers of aliens. This one preparing to use a lethal leap and employ its raptor talons. Done with ink and a photoshop background.
amazing work
Thats one crazy looking xeno, teh funk
beautiful, the details you always add in your pics are amazing o___o *is a sucker for aliens* their designs are so complex...
I like the round edges on all the scales. Aliens are usually harder and pointer, and then smooth, but your interpretation has so many wonderful crags and shadows. I love it.
Thanks for saying so. I have 2 others in my gallery based on this scheme. I had trouble finding a decent referance and had to resort to using an action figure and make up a whole lot. Then, when actually drawing it, I just went crazy with the details.
cool. I bought action figures when I was little. but the aliens scared the bejeesus outta me back then so my dad sold them to a coworker. I wish he had kept them. I am so pissed now that I want them!! lol *repressed anger* That is really great work with just an action figure as a base.
You can buy back your action figures through EBay...I am a collector of certain figures and have recolected my Ninja Turtle series through there easily. I also looked on EBay for more Aliens pictures and I know they have many new figures of them too.
wow, i should get them on ebay. I think I had a dog burster and a regular black soldier one. thanks for the info. I've kept a lot of my other toys, just not the ones that scared the hell out of me...haha
OoO this is fuggin cool...therz a sheit loada detail too.
O_O!! That is sooo cool!! I love Aliens!!!
