I'm Rebecca Mills, a freelance graphic designer and illustrator based in Perth, Western Australia. I would love to hear about your new project – let's create something amazing together.
I have worked with a wide variety of clients, from land estates through to small business branding. I also confidentially contract to a number of marketing agencies here in Perth.
I was commissioned by 4Land Property Group to create a logo and branding materials for their new estate Geraldton Heights. The project included design of newspaper adverts, signage, sales materials and aesthetically improving the look of estates plans supplied by the estate engineers.
This 12 page booklet was created to market 4Land's five estates. The included estate plans were produced in Adobe Illustrator based on engineer's supplied CAD drawings.
Marketing materials for one of 4Land Property Group's popular developments – Lake Coogee Estate. Newspaper adverts were created for both The West Australian and Residential South East. (Right) - Postcards were designed, printed and letterbox dropped to thousands of homes in the area.
The GWN7 Western Australian Regional Small Business Awards are a yearly event held to celebrate the success of West Australian small businesses. For 3 years, I designed and created artwork for this event – producing invitations, tickets, programmes, menus, event signage and the full page advert that ran in The West announcing the winners.
A selection of materials created for Peshtemals – beautiful 100% cotton Turkish Towels. I undertook design of the logo and brand, and sales and marketing materials. Alongside this, I also created signage designs for the three pop up stores at Karrinyup, Garden City and Joondalup shopping centres.
I have been blessed to work with a huge variety of clients – all of which are extremely special to me. The below shows a selection of logos that I have created – from engineering companies, to jewellery designers, to land estates… and more!
DL Brochures designed for Friendlies Pharmacy in Claremont. These flyers were produced for a letterbox drop throughout the area.
UGGYS was officially the first client of Rebecca Mills Design – so they are one that I hold dear to my heart. Since first contact in 2009, we have worked on a huge variety of projects – from instore signage to promotional materials and product packaging. This warranty card is given out with every pair of UGGYS sold.
Shunner Fell is a small, family run honey production business based in Boyup Brook in southern Western Australia. They came to me looking for help with packaging design, sales and marketing materials and creation of a simple splash page website.
The ladies from Walking with Attitude and 1000 Steps Australia come to me with some of the funnest projects – I really enjoyed working on the design of the maps, website headers and trophies for their online corporate step tracking program 1000 Steps Australia.
Another project for Walking with Attitude. We created four different versions of these programs.
These posters are supplied to program organisers to entice their colleagues to sign up to the programs.
Brochure and website design for the beautiful Emmaus Community, which is a non-profit organisation that provides support and housing for people with mental health issues.
HealthyChart is a magnetic incentive chart for children that promotes eating a balanced diet, drinking plenty of water and getting enough exercise each day. From the client's direction, I created branding and marketing materials, along with the design of the actual products and its packaging.
This illustration design was commissioned by a Perth client as a gift for his father. Created completely in vector – with no raster elements or Photoshopping – means that this design is infinitely scalable without any loss of resolution (just in case you'd like to print on the moon).
This bird illustration was created for a personal rebrand project that didn't eventuate. He was created in Illustrator CS6.
Illustration used for the cover of my husband and I's wedding invitation.
(Left) Commissioned pet portrait. Walter is one of the most well loved cats in the whole world. He is blessed with a loving and patient mum that caters to his desire of fresh prawns for dinner each night. (Right) University branding illustration – Illustrator CS2. This illustration is still used by Curtin University on their Bachelor of Arts (Design) course information sheet.
After 4 years working in-house at Rosanne Download Design, I successfully took my first steps as a freelancer in 2009. Since then I have worked on a contract basis for a number of Perth's largest marketing firms, land estates and a huge number of small business startups – all of which are close to my heart.
I graduated from Curtin University's Graphic Design course in 2005 – where I was awarded the Best Graduating Illustration Student, and also selected in the top 6 Best Graduating Graphic Design Students. It was here that I was offered my first in-house designer role at the Graduate's exhibition in 2005.
I am running the latest version of Adobe's Creative Cloud on a machine with a colour calibrated monitor and secure, automatic data backups. Not only will your files be compatible with your printer of choice, but they will be safely and securely stored in a place that you can access at any time – from anywhere in the world.
I work closely with a number of Perth printers which means I can provide competitive quotes that suit your projects.
I am a professional, I can multitask! I am a problem solver. I can provide excellent artwork that is sensitive to your time frame and budget. Yet I can't make my 2 year old put his socks on – I guess we can't do it all!
Not only is my artwork produced to the highest standard, I also have experience printing through most of Perth's major printers, am cost effective, punctual, professional and reliable. I value your business and your time. This may be the reason why I am blessed with a large number of satisfied regular customers.
Rebecca Mills Design is one of the most professional and effective graphic design service providers in Perth.
I have developed a close working relationship with Rebecca over many years, and have been impressed by her:
It is with great pleasure that I commend Rebecca Mills Design to you…

Dana Beament
UGGYS GENUINE and SAMMIMIS
Being a very fussy client and having never used the services of a professional graphic designer before would have presented a challenge for Rebecca. Thankfully she was understanding and her professional experience resulted in her exceeding our expectations and delivering a fantastic looking and professional design concept.
So pleased with her initial work we have commissioned her to complete additional projects and branding concepts and I am happy that our business' professional image is in good hands, as we continue to work together in the future.

Four years ago yesterday, the Rana Plaza factory collapsed in Bangladesh, killing 1138 workers - mothers, fathers, daughters, best friends - who were busy making clothing for JCP, The Children's Place and Walmart (among others). They died because the building they were working in was grossly unsafe and they lacked many of the protections in manufacturing we fought to get in this country 150 years ago. (Many did not want to go into the building but were bullied and threatened with their jobs if they did not do so.)
This is why Fair Trade matters. This is the heart of shopping with intention.
On the other side of every product we buy is a person. Every purchase we make says what kind of world we want. The option to buy fair trade is a deliberate choice to stand against the methods, secrecy and abuse that allowed Rana Plaza to happen - the system that produces the vast majority of products we buy.
It's easier than you think! There are more and more people stepping up to treat the people who make our products like are human and not another cog in the wheel.
Make a conscious choice to support those who are taking a stand and choosing to do the right thing. You might be surprised to realize that fair trade clothing don't cost more than buying at a box store. And you can wear the items knowing no one was exploited or abused to make it.

WASHINGTON, June 21, 2016 -- Professor Robin C. Feldman, Director of the Institute for Innovation Law at the University of California Hastings College of the Law, testified today before the Senate Committee on the Judiciary Subcommittee on Antitrust, Competition Policy, and Consumer Rights at a hearing titled "The CREATES Act: Ending Regulatory Abuse, Protecting Consumers, and Ensuring Drug Price Competition."
"Medicines are making headlines these days," began Professor Feldman, "not for their breathtaking ability to save lives but for their soaring prices. When those high prices result from manipulation of a regulatory process, that is a problem."
Testimony of Professor Robin Feldman, Director of the Institute for Innovation Law, University of California Hastings College of the Law
Senate Committee on the Judiciary Subcommittee on Antitrust, Competition Policy, and Consumer Rights Hearing on the "CREATES Act: Ending Regulatory Abuse, Protecting Consumers and Ensuring Drug Price Competition
June 21, 2016
Mr. Chairman and esteemed members of the Committee, I am Professor Robin Feldman of the University of California Hastings, and it is an honor to be here today. Medicines are making headlines these days, not for their breathtaking ability to save lives but for their soaring prices. When those high prices result from manipulation of a regulatory process, that is a problem. Thus, I am heartened to see the committee contemplating legislation to fix the REMS process as it relates to generic drugs.
For 30 years, the Hatch-Waxman Act has provided an expedited pathway so that as soon as drug patents expire, generic companies can enter the market and bring prices down. The Act has been enormously successful. More than three-quarters of prescriptions are filled with generics today, and generics are priced as much as 85% below their brand name equivalent. Given that price differential, holding off generic competition can be worth billions of dollars for brand name companies. The REMS program has provided fertile ground for delay tactics.
REMS are safety protocols. The program was created in 2007 after the arthritis drug Vioxx was linked to heart attacks. The goal is to ensure more particularized handling of medicines that have serious side effects or that are unusually subject to abuse. A REMS plan can range from adding warning information in package inserts to restricting who can sell and distribute the drug.
Unfortunately, some companies are using the REMS program to block generic competition. Under Hatch-Waxman, a generic company needs samples of the branded drug to demonstrate that its version is the same. Some brand companies are using the existence of a REMS plan, or declaring their own distribution restrictions, to refuse to transfer samples to generic applicants. Even when the FDA tells them to do so, they still refuse.
This is the technique Martin Shkreli's company planned when it hiked the price of its drug from $13.50 a tablet to $750 a tablet. Shkreli may have been particularly brash, but his company is not the only one. Others have followed the same path, with one declaring in court that companies have no legal duty to give samples to generics. Thus, an important safety program is being hijacked to block competition.
The FDA has 75 REMS plans in place, and they affect millions of patients. For just one of these drugs, Suboxone, 9 million prescriptions were filled in the US in a recent year, for a total of $1.5 billion in sales. Suboxone is a classic drug that needs a REMS plan, given concerns about abuse of the drug. A safety plan, however, is to protect patients. It should not be used as a trick to block competition in the marketplace.
The CREATES Act addresses the two main forms of REMS abuse, the samples problem just described and refusing to cooperate with generic applicants on writing a REMS plan. The Act is a targeted solution that is particularly careful about patient safety. Thus, the Act authorizes the transfer of samples only if a generic satisfies the FDA's requirements. The Act also exempts products where the FDA determines there are drug shortages, so that medicines cannot be diverted from patients who need them.
The CREATES Act does an admirable job of assigning the right roles to the right branches of government. The FDA remains responsible for evaluating safety; the courts are responsible for resolving disputes among the parties. The same assignment of roles exists throughout the Hatch-Waxman regime.
Importantly, the Act includes biologics. Biologics are complex substances like antibodies and enzymes, that differ from chemical drugs like aspirin. A third of the new drugs approved in 2015 were biologics, and it would make little sense to fix a regulatory problem, but leave out a third of the new drugs.
Fixing REMS abuse will not solve all of the problems with pharmaceutical pricing, but it is an important component. With REMS abuse, as with every time I study bad behavior in the regulatory system, I worry that publicizing it just provides a handy road map for mischief. And in fact, efforts to block generic competition are increasing in general. I am in the process of studying 13 years of FDA data on generic applications, and one thing is abundantly clear: the category of game-playing that includes REMS abuse has increased substantially. If Congress does not fix it, we will see more of it. And, as always, consumers pay the price.

by Tommy Lawlor – http://www.ScoutsNotebook.com
Let's start by talking about the OL. Basically we got what we expected. The top guys looked good in drills and athletic tests. Other players stood out in one area or the other. There were no surprises or small school guys who really stood out. Last year we had Roger Saffold put up a great workout and really help his cause. Jared Veldheer had a good workout and showed he was more than just a D2 guy with some potential. In that sense, I was disappointed.
I'm not going to say too much about the top guys. Nate Solder, Anthony Castonzo, and Gabe Carimi all had very good days. Tyron Smith didn't work out, but is a star of the Combine strictly by his weigh-in (6'5, 307 and a huge wingspan).
* Marcus Cannon is 6'5, 358. I can't believe I'm saying this, but he almost looked svelte. I've never seen a player carry that much weight so naturally. He ran well in the 40 and had a solid workout. He's still probably too stiff for OT, but surprised me.
* C Ryan Bartholomew did a great job on the bench on Friday and then ran well in the 40 on Saturday. Impressive athlete. He didn't do anything great, but certainly helped his situation.
* Rey Dominguez did better than I expected. He looked pretty unathletic on tape, but much better in Indy.
* Jason Kelce had a good day. He tested well. There is a catch. He only weighed in at 280 pounds. That gave him a nice advantage. * Rodney Hudson did well in the drills, but I was shocked at how poor he was in the athletic stuff. He bulked up to 299, but tested like someone weak, fat, and stiff. I still like him as a prospect, but that was disappointing. Rodney snapped the ball on quite a few of the drills, to show clubs how he looked as a C prospect.
* Orlando Franklin ran well, but I felt he struggled in most of the drills.
* Clint Boling continues to impress me. He had a very good Senior Bowl week. He wasn't great yesterday, but proved to be more athletic than I expected. I'll be moving him way up in the rankings.
As for the TEs, this just isn't a good group. Every player has a flaw…or two…or more. There are a lot of projects. There is something to like about the guys, but you can't escape the fact that they're still projects.
* Kyle Rudolph is everyone's top TE and he was unable to workout.
* Charles Clay worked out with the TEs. He was okay, but failed to impress in the way that a guy like him needed. He had a so-so showing at the Senior Bowl and right now is a man without a position.
* Virgil Green got everyone's attention with a great VJ of 42.5 inches. He had a broad jump of 10'10. He was a bit stiff in some of the other tests. His overall numbers were still good, but you could see that he's tight in his upper body. That showed in the Gauntlet Drill as well. Green was solid catching the football during the day.
* Rob Housler is a guy I've written about a time or two this year and he had a big day. He led all TEs with a 40 time of 4.55. He did well in the other tests. Rob caught the ball pretty well. He does have skinny lower legs, sorta odd for a TE that is 248 pounds.
* Zack Pianalto is a guy I've liked all year. I was hoping he'd have a big day and make me look pretty smart. Only a so-so day. He didn't do anything to hurt himself, but he also didn't stand out.
* Jordan Cameron looked like a good athlete. He's a project, but will intrigue some teams.
* I've got to watch tape of Northen Iowa TE Schuyler Oordt. He is 6'6, 261. He looked athletic and had a solid day. He did let the ball get into his body too much during the Gauntlet Drill.
* Charlie Gantt had a better than expected showing. He didn't do anything great, but showed that he has legit NFL potential. He still projects as a backup TE.
* Luke Stocker isn't Jason Witten. He's not close. Both were white guys from Tennessee. That's it. Witten was a terrific college player. Stocker is a big guy with some potential, but he's nowhere near as good as Witten. Stocker did some good things in his workout. I guess my biggest beef is that he's not a natural receiver.
* Julius Thomas looked good in the Gauntlet Drill and had a solid overall showing. I've got to break out some Portland State tape and really check him out. Natural athlete with some size and pretty good hands.

Raising a glass to save birds
SEA TURTLES and shorebirds are hoping for visitors to enjoy as much plonk and nibbles as possible at the Ballina Fine Wine and Food Festival next Sunday.
The major beneficiary of this year's event is wildlife protector Australian Seabird Rescue, following fundraising in previous years for Ballina Marine Rescue, Our House, the local SES, and Rotary's Polio Plus project.
With 46 food and wine exhibitors from near and far, joined by buskers and bands, event chairman Col Lee appropriately summed it up as a "gourmet's delight".
Punters can partake in samples of everything from cheeses, fresh and cooked seafood, to small good, gourmet ice-creams, and blueberries, and boutique coffees.
The bustling event fills out the entire Ballina Jockey Club building, and will additionally have the use of two grand marquees outside - one with a full kitchen built for cooking demonstrations.
The marquee kitchen will be graced by popular My Kitchen Rules surfer dads Paul and Blair, and Ballina RSL Club executive chef Gerhard Spatz.
A change to licensing of the event means unlike previous years, people can now purchase wine and beer from the stalls and consume it at the venue, or take bottles away.
"This year we've got more boutique beers and a cider exhibitor which we've never had before," Mr Lee said.
"We also have wine masters from Dan Murphys, Treasury Wines, and a really good cider company, Batlow Cider Company, from the biggest apple-growing area in Australia.
"We've got the most wineries we've ever had...we've got wineries from Mudgee, we've got wineries from Victoria."
A brand new Weber barbecue will also be "secretly" launched at the event for the first time in Australia with cooking displays all day, predating the Australian release by a week. There's also non-stop entertainment all day, including the popular Samba Blisstas, and the JD Duo playing 1960's, 70's and 80's music alongside buskers.
A new shuttle bus will roam around Ballina and Lennox Head from 11am throughout the day, with timetables on the website, and fare by donation.
What's on
When: Sunday, July 20, from 12-5pm.
Where: Ballina Jockey Club and Function Centre, Racecourse Rd.
Tickets: $20. Available from the website, at Tonic Hair and Beauty in River St Ballina, or at the door.

The Orioles' farm team in Frederick is enjoying another great year at the gate -- and not just because of President Bush's endorsement last week.
The Keys were packing them in long before the president told the national TV audience watching the All-Star Game that he had had "almost as much fun" watching the minor leaguers in Maryland as he was having watching the cream of the major leaguers in Toronto.
Says Keith Lupton, general manager of the Single A Keys:
"We outdrew nine Triple A teams last year and all 26 Double A teams. This year we've drawn 192,254. We're running just about even with last year [when the team drew 277,802]. Our goal this year is 300,000."

Panama immigration processing services requires Panamanian lawyers who are specialists in immigration law.
The Panama immigration lawyers at POLS have extensive experience in processing all types of Panama residency visas, and for more than 20 years, we have been helping clients immigrate to Panama. Our team of licensed immigration lawyers has processed over 500 Panama resident visas for foreigners seeking residency in Panama. Moreover, our firm has established a strong presence in the Panama legal community, making the immigration process as streamlined as possible.
As a law firm that specializes in Panama immigration, we can provide legal solutions for all residency programs and Panama visas available. Upon request, we can provide multiple references of clients that have used our immigration services with success.
Through special laws, foreigners are able to obtain permits for temporary or permanent residency in Panama, Panama work permits, and in some cases, Panama citizenship and / or Panama passports. Most of these Panama immigration laws have been created to promote foreign investment in Panama which benefits the local environment and/or local economy.
Many international investors and companies find excellent opportunities for Panama investments in reforestation, manufacturing plants, assembly plants, distribution facilities for import/export, software creation facilities, call centers, and a variety of other business activities. Many times, investors find that a Panamanian residency visa is just an "extra benefit" to the Panama investments that they are making. The fact that there are different Panama immigration visas and Panama residency programs suited for investors is an incentive for relocating to Panama and obtaining Panama citizenship and a Panamanian passport. Relocating to Panama and getting Panama legal residency can be easier by using our experienced Panama immigration lawyers.
Below we have listed several of the Panama residency visas, as well as other Panama visas, such as work visas in Panama. Some of these Panama immigration visa programs offer temporary residency permits, or permanent residency permits, while some offer full citizenship and Panama passports, but others may not. Also, some of these immigration programs only offer temporary resident visas, or Panama work permits. We encourage you to contact us for a free personal consultation to determine which type of resident visa will best fit your needs.
Why Immigrate & Become a Resident of Panama?
- Have a second home in Panama, a tropical country where one can peacefully live in Panama, or visit Panama on a part-time basis.
- Have a "safe haven" in Panama to escape to in the event of war or any type of political or civil unrest that may threaten ones' family.
- Actually live in Panama permanently, perhaps after retirement and obtain a Panamanian residency visa.
- Relocating to Panama to a tropical, stable, safe country where it is very economical to live in comparison with most other developed countries such as the US, Canada, Europe, etc.
- Relocate to a more "tax friendly" country where foreign earned income, foreign earned capital gains, and bank interest income are not taxed nor need to be declared.
- Relocate to a country where frivolous lawsuits are not recognized by the courts, and one can protect their assets through a corporate structure, without the risks of "piercing the corporate veil".
- Relocate to a country where one can do business operations economically, and without heavy restrictions, regulations, or taxes that hinder the growth of the business.
- Relocate to a country where real estate is still affordable for purchasing homes in the city or land at the beaches, mountains, lakes, etc.
- Relocating to Panama and purchasing a second residence in Panama or taking advantage of the Panama immigration programs, Panama resident visas, and choosing Panama citizenship with a Panamanian passport if you wish.

: Hello and Happy New Year from Peoria Fiberglass Inc.. We hope and pray that you all have a safe, healthy and prosperous 2018.
Our winter hours are now 8:00am to 3:00pm yet I will do my best to answer calls from 7:00 am to 7 pm. We are located in Arizona, not Illinois as many people think and currently we are on Mountain standard time.. Sometimes I can't answer your call it usually means that I am on another call or that I am out in the shop and its loud so I don't hear the phone ringing, PLEASE leave a message and I will return your call.
Custom Inserts
If your bathtub requires a custom insert instead of one of our standard sizes we can in most cases build one for you. Depending on the complexity of the part needed it can take from 3 days to 3 weeks to manufacture the part.
Many are done within 1 week now.
We need detailed drawings (pics help) with specific measurements of your bathtub showing what is needed - or you can put a slice in your bathtub and place a sturdy piece of paper in the slice and trace the profile of your bathtub, then send that to us to make a custom for you.
We now accept payments via PayPal. If you want to order and pay with PayPal I will send you an invoice on paypal, and once paid we will start manufacturing your part,, and we will ship the item as soon as it is completed.
. We are working on getting a PayPal link attached to our site. You will see that as soon as it is up and running. Our PayPal email is firstname.lastname@example.com
Price Change
: Our prices now include
Free Ground Shipping
via Fed-Ex only,
for all items shipped in the Continental US .
No PO Boxes for free shipping
- if you need item quicker we can quote price for express or priority shipping.- these won't be free shipping costs.
For Retirement Facilities:
Don't be stuck without an insert for your facility, Suggestion - keep one in stock. If that isn't an option, we suggest Priority or express shipping for your order, however we still will have to manufacture your item before shipping.
Many people have different names for the product we sell. Our favorite is Step thru Saddle, but here are a list of what others around the country are calling it: Step-thru or Step-through cutout, step over cutout, bathtub walk thru (walk through), bathtub conversion kit, walk in bathtub, DIY (do it yourself) kit, but It doesn't matter what you call it, what matters is that the product makes getting into the shower a lot easier!!!
We have been asked more recently if we have a store front where one can come look at our product. Sorry to say but we do not as we only have our manufacturing location. We aren't set up for customer/retail situation. If you are local and want to pick up your order we can arrange for that and will give you directions to our shop at that time. Sorry for any inconvenience this may caused you.
Remember most orders will ship within 48 hours of ordering, not including weekends. We don't manufacture on Fridays any more as we try to reserve that day to do our off site jobs., but we still answer phone calls on Fridays and weekends. Any questions let us know.

There's still time to catch Al Zaruba's one-person sculpture show at Montpelier Cultural Arts Center, but it closes in a mere nine days. Zaruba's sculptures look like creatures from outer space, and also from your most frightening dreams, which is what makes them relevant.
They look like human fears and dreads made visible and therefore are more manageable than when they reside solely in the mind. They're frightening but funny as well, awkward but also obviously the product of a sophisticated, ruminative, highly original mind.
Zaruba says his work springs from "the fatal flaw in human nature," and whether it deals with individual fears and aspirations or societal concerns, one can see an aspect of "the fatal flaw" at work.

DURHAM --Duke lawyers are trying to get a lawsuit filed Jan. 23 for slander by the University's former lacrosse coach, Mike Pressler, dismissed.
The week before he filed, the attorneys representing Pressler withdrew their request for a judge to rescind a settlement agreement between Pressler and Duke so they could pursue the lawsuit.
Pressler claims comments Duke Spokesman John Burness made to a newspaper columnist and the Associated Press last year were slanderous.
Duke lawyers asked the judge earlier this month to dismiss or stay the slander suit, saying Pressler must go through the arbitration process.
Pressler was forced to resign several weeks after the 2006 party at which a stripper claimed three players raped her. The case was later debunked, and the prosecutor who pursued the charges was disbarred.

Hand painted porcelain is so beautiful no matter if done in a factory, professional decorating studio or a small home-studio environment. The overall quality is what really matters. This lovely 5 piece place setting was the product of a home-studio.
This lovely set of 5 Limoges hand painted salad/dessert plates were decorated in a small home-studio by a talented artist. Each plate has been skillfully decorated with violets, forget-me-not, wild roses, double tea roses and other varieties in a pallet of colors including purple, pink, rose, blue, apricot and light to dark greens. The blanks have a lovely embossed border design which has been gold decorated as is the edges of the plates.
The plates measure 7" across and are stamped "Elite - L - France", a mark used Bawo & Dotter on its white ware blanks, circa 1900. Four of the five plates are initialed on the base by the artist, "D C". There are no cracks, chips or repairs.

At a summit in Brussels, leaders of the EU countries agreed on the extension of restrictive measures against Russia for six months. The official announcement will follow in a few days.
According to sources in diplomatic circles, the decision was made on Thursday, December 15, by the participants of the EU leaders summit in Brussels. Officially, this decision will be announced within a few days. Restrictive measures will be valid from February 1 to July 31, 2017.
Economic sanctions of the European Union against Moscow were introduced in the summer of 2014 in connection with its actions destabilizing the situation in the east of Ukraine. Every six months, the European Union decides to extend the restrictive measures. Ii is emphasized in Brussels that they may be canceled if Russia complies with Minsk Protocol.

My husband's birthday was yesterday. As part of his day I had him choose recipes from my favorite cookbook for his supper and dessert. The cookbook itself is a massive thing I picked up at a charity shop here in Wigan called 'Cookery illustrated and household management.' It even has a section called 'Cooking in Emergencies,' which is not about trying to fix a pie during nuclear war... it's if your working husband suddenly, gasp, brings colleagues home without telling you! Oh no!
Recipe from the book:
4 egg yolks
2 1/2 cups of flour
1 tsp baking soda
pinch of salt
4 egg whites
1 cup of Sour Cream
1 1/4 cups of castor sugar
2 oz chocolate
1 tsp vanilla
To do the two separate halves I er... halved the recipe. Well, except for the baking soda. I used about 3/4 tsp for each half. I replaced the sour cream with chocolate milk and cream cheese for a bit of extra richness. I used two large bars of Belgian chocolate and white chocolate for the top and bottom halves respectively with another half a bar broken up and put in. The frosting is store-bought dark chocolate with milk chocolate sprinkles. To break up the chocolatey-ness a bit I spread some rasberry jam in the middle.
You can seriously only eat one piece of this in a day it's that rich. Mr. Me loved it. :)

Sion Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Since Mobafire hasnt updated their items for some reason i cant add the Manamune to the list of items but that is your fifth item and you get it after your Stark's.This build allows you to hit ridiculous damage really fast while being able to not run out of mana for your abilities. But the basic way to play this build is to lane with somebody that can help you push and get as many minion kills as you possibly can. This sion build can allow you to three hit squishy's late game and take on the 3v1 when you pop your ult.
Also you can interchange the Madred's for the Infinity Edge depending on what your fighting and if they are using alot of tanks with high hp and armor.
In short it can make kids mad.

First Governmental Agency in Country to Offer Live Interaction For Visitors to Departments Web Site
Superintendent of Insurance Neil D. Levin today announced that the Department is offering consumers the opportunity to be engaged by a Department Representative to assist in their search of information when they visit the New York State Insurance Department Web site. The Department is the first governmental agency in the country to utilize this Customer Service Application which combines the Departments consumer services function with the latest in technology.
"The Departments use of this new, enhanced customer support framework will provide improved responsiveness to meet the needs of New York State consumers. Our Web site has a wealth of important information for consumers and the use of this application will assist consumers in finding the information they need in a more timely fashion," said Levin. "We anticipate great success as this innovative technology is utilized and it is an important step as we continue to strive to make our Web site even more consumer friendly."
Here is how the application will work:

|This is our house 10% of the time or so... Oh, the noise....
It hit me hard for the first time Wednesday night. Avery was cranky and crying on and off. She's touchy at bedtime - going to sleep is SO upsetting, what if you miss something? - so I put her on the floor of the nursery to play while I got Quinn ready for bed (we usually do this together, but I think Chris was in the shower). About an ounce into Quinn's bottle, Avery lost her shit. She flipped onto her back and just started screammingggggg with her arms reaching up. Now, at not quite 6 months, they haven't mastered the "pick me up" move, but this was the closest she's come. She locked eyes with me and just cried pathetically.
Its generally my policy to attend (when we're talking about sleep) to the less upset baby first, get that one settled, then move on.
Quinn isn't a great eater at bedtime anyway, so I wasn't going to interrupt her bottle to pick up Avery, then see if it was even possible (unlikely) to console her while feeding a rather tired Quinn.
So she cried until Quinn finished her 3.5 oz and was happily munching on her hand and soothing herself to sleep.
That "why are you holding her and not meeeeeee" cry was surely the first of many (or the first I've recognized). Maybe it'll get less guilt inducing?
There's more Mom Guilt to come from this week, but I'll have to write about that later today...

It was recently announced that SAA has been accepted as a full member of the Round Table on Sustainable Biomaterials (RSB).
SAA has been accepted as a member of the Swiss-based RSB, an international, multi-stakeholder initiative that brings together farmers, companies, governmental and non-governmental organisations, experts and inter-governmental agencies concerned with ensuring the sustainability of biomass and biomaterial production and processing. Earlier this year, SAA also became one of only two global carriers to achieve Stage 2 status of the IATA Environmental Assessment Programme (IEnvA).
"Membership of the RSB not only serves as recognition of the airline's African biofuels programme, but provides us with a further networking platform to engage with NGOs and leaders in the biomaterials field, thus enhancing that programme," says Nico Bezuidenhout, SAA's Acting CEO. The RSB is currently certifying the project. "This underpins our efforts to develop a sustainable and, ultimately, commercially beneficial biofuel supply chain in SA. As the global community continues to move towards sustainable energy sources, the medium- to long-term environmental and possible financial benefits of the initiative become more evident every day."
SAA intends to work with global role-players in the biomaterials sector, drawing on their expertise to extract maximum benefit from its activities and RSB membership.
"Biofuels can be produced economically and the tobacco project is evidence of the significant progress made by research and development in this field over the past decade," says Bezuidenhout. The airline has taken a long-term view of the project. "Innovation across all areas of our business will set the pace of growth at SAA and, along with full implementation of the Long-Term Turnaround Strategy, the dual objectives of environmental benefit and future commercial impetus will serve the airline and the country well."
Launched last year, SAA's African biofuels project, which aims to transform tobacco oil to jet fuel, involves sector role-players such as Boeing, Sunchem and SkyNRG. The initiative achieved Stage 2 IEnva accreditation in record time.
The initiative was followed by the introduction of new fuel-efficient navigation approaches (RNP-AR: Required Navigational Performance, Authorisation Required). Within SAA, there is also an ongoing drive to embed a culture of environmental sustainability against set targets, with a view to leading the field in ultimate emission reduction in both continental and global aviation.
SAA plans to operate a series of flights using biofuel, produced at the pilot tobacco plant in Limpopo, later this year.

Rumor has it that Glenn Beck and Fox News may be parting ways after Beck's contract runs out at the end of December. Moses may have parted the Red Sea but it was unthinkable that anyone could part the force that bonds the neurotic Beck with the iniquitous Fox News. Nevertheless, here we are and we must be prepared according to Stephen Colbert who has done just that. He has prepared us for the "Glennpocalyse" with his "Emergency Beck Pack."
On Monday night's Colbert Report, Stephen showed us all the goodies that come with Beck Pack, including beef stroganoff (just like Beck's real life survival packs! Really that's totally true.), all of Beck's awesome tales – I mean – books – plus room for more of his unwritten books, and then there's a special surprised that you'll just have to watch the video to completely comprehend.
But what's really and truly scary about this video is the Beck Pack itself. Just look at it. Who in their right mind could carry that thing around? Not to mention, could you imagine kids wearing that Beck Pack with that face on the back? Yeah, it's a survival pack, but survival pack or not no one could survive that pummeling. And even if you weren't wearing it to school, even if you were wearing it in the woods or in backpacking around looking for shelter during the Glennpocalyse, you would be eaten by bears.

Tomorrow night Academy Award nominee Jake Gyllenhaal will make his American stage debut in British playwright Nick Payne's If There Is I Haven't Found It Yet. The production, which has moved to the U.S. after a critically acclaimed 2009 run in London, begins previews tomorrow at The Roundabout Theatre in New York.
Payne, who has been called "an original talent" by The Guardian, has written a dark comedy that follows a family "stuck somewhere between knowing what the problem is... and doing something about it." The play unfolds as Anna (played by Anna Funke), an overweight teenager who has been ceaselessly bullied for her weight, transfers to the school where her mother teaches in order to protect her. The transfer however, proves to be no help at all for Anna and it isn't until her estranged uncle (played by Gyllenhaal) arrives unannounced that Anna is able to truly connect with someone.
Michael Longhurst makes his New York directorial debut after directing Nick Payne's Constellations at the Royal Court Theatre. If There Is I Haven't Found It Yet stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Tony Award-winner Brian F. O'Byrne, Michelle Gomez, and Anna Funke and will open on September 20, 2012.
Gyllenhaal, who has not been on the stage since his 2002 London stage debut in Kenneth Lonergan's This Is Our Youth opposite Anna Paquin, spoke to The New York Times recently about the demands of acting onstage. "I want to come home at the end of the day and be wiped out and feel I've torn my heart out from acting and feel fulfilled. At this point I don't have the desire to do anything other than projects that make me feel that way."
If There Is I Haven't Found It Yet has a strict 13 week run through November 25 at the Harold and Miriam Steinburg Center for Theatre / Laura Pels Theatre. Ticket information can be found here.

Ottmar Hitzfeld declared himself "unsurprised" by Bastian Schweinsteiger's commendable display at the weekend. "Experience shows that Bastian needs a few more games than some other players before he rediscovers his rhythm," the coach had explained after Bayern's clash with Bremen a week earlier, a contention the 23-year-old amply proved in Sunday's 3-0 victory over Hannover. "He was outstanding," Uli Hoeneß commented, "he stamped his authority on the match."
The general manager's statement was an unusual one. "I don't normally single out individuals," Hoeneß confirmed, "but Bastian's taken so much flak recently, I want to go on record as saying I thought he was the best man on the park today." Quite an assertion, given Luca Toni's hat-trick heroics.
Two assists
"He did everything we've always hoped he'd do," Hoeneß continued. The Germany international laid on two of Toni's goals with perceptive passes behind the home defence, but also initiated the move for the Italian's opening strike and swung over a series of dangerous crosses before and after half-time. He also set up five shooting chances, the best stat of any player on display.
Schweinsteiger began the 2007-8 campaign well, but he ran into a long period of poor form, from which he is only now beginning to emerge. "This is what we want from him," Hitzfeld remarked, "I rated him as good in Aberdeen last week, and I think the press criticism afterwards was unjustified. He tackled very well up there. It's obvious he's fully focused again."
Not a second Ribéry
Understandably enough, Schweinsteiger's interpretation of the left-sided midfield role differs considerably from the style favoured by Franck Ribéry. "Bastian is a completely different type of player," Hitzfeld pointed out, "Franck is really a winger who likes to dribble and take his man on. Bastian is more of a playmaker, in charge of distribution and establishing field position, playing the final pass and controlling the pace of a game."
The player himself was unwilling to discuss these and other aspects of his individual display. "It's for others to assess my performance," he insisted. "It was good to feel the coach has faith in me. I'm keen to give something back to the football club."
Home truths
Schweinsteiger, already capped 48 times by Germany, described much of a long-running media barrage as "hard to understand. A lot of what's been written simply isn't true. I just try and ignore it. I'm only interested in what the coach and my team-mates have to say."
Bastian's partner Sarah is another valued reference point. "She's my sternest critic," Schweinsteiger revealed. "We've had our share of debates." The player's display in Hanover will surely have made for smooth waters at home, as Schweini related with a grin on Monday: "She was prepared to talk to me again yesterday evening."

My plans are being finalized now. My airline tickets are purchased; my room for the first week is reserved; and my registration for Sacra Ligturgia Milano is completed and paid for.
I will be leaving Charleston Friday, 2 June, and arriving in Milan, Italy Saturday morning, 3 June. That will give me a few days to see the sights and prepare for the Conference, which is 6 - 9 June.
I also have a seat at Teatro alla Scala for the Saturday, 3 June, performance of Mozart's "Don Giovanni":
I think this is the box I will be seated in:
And this will be the view from the box:
After the conference, I'll fly up to London for a few days, then go by train to Manchester (Broadbottom) to visit my friends, the Wenner's, possibly stopping in Oxford. I'll be returning to Charleston 20 June.
I will be blogging as often as I can, just like last year. Stay tuned!
