Hospital Week Dedicated to Blood Bank.—
The San Francisco Hospital Conference, an organization comprising sixteen major hospitals in San Francisco, dedicated the week of May 6 to the Irwin Memorial Blood Bank. The mayor of San Francisco, Roger D. Lapham, opened the program with a request to the public give a blood donation to the Irwin Memorial Blood Bank. Special programs were broadcast over radio stations, and newspapers and stores cooperated in using window displays on the blood bank.

Why are you complaining its just a representation of USculture. Even on Tv women are shown as sexual objects. Its not geek culture, it is US culture. Go change your female morals and then maybe women would be view less as sexual objects. When there are less women famous for *** tapes on our TV then maybe there will be more non sexual female characters in our games.
Brienne of Tarth is a fan favorite and she is both muscular and not conventionally attractive.
Why can't Sejuani just be more like this picture? You can give her muscles and still make her clearly feminine. Just look up muscle women.
I'd also like to say I agree with a lot of people saying that the sexually pleasing isn't as sexually pleasing any more. I'm not saying GO BIG! But I'm saying maybe a little bit more women to love could be good :P. It's almost like I see nothing but this skinny lingerie model all the time that... it's not as appealing. If that makes sense.

I actually agree with OP, why is he getting downvoted?
Oh wait, all those 14 year olds want is ****. Boobies, as big as it can get.
Grow up, community. Judging from the art she's some sort of viking, and she lives in the cold. Do you like to wear just a small bra-like thing when walking around in the negatives? (talking about degrees Celsius here). I don't think so.
But yeah, the reason they all have the same body type is the desires of the virgins on here. They need to be half naked or else it won't sell. Look at Gragas, Urgot and Trundle. All three great champs, but hey they aren't half naked women or some buff ass guy.
Ah well, upvote for the OP.

I have been working at Panera Bread full-time
Working at the Support Center you get a few nice perks - free food in the morning, unlimited soda/coffee, etc., an employee discount, and can get free delivery for your lunch. The people are actually very wonderful - good people who are hard workers. That's pretty much where it ends.
The benefits for a company this size and this well performing are horrible and insulting. The 401k is not good (1-yr wait), short term disability is horrible (doesn't even cover the actual percent of your pay it says), and vacation is attrocious and non-negotiable.
The company works you extremely hard and has very high expectations. That's great if they are willing to give you the support necessary (people, technology, resources, etc.) but they don't.
The CEO (not Bill, but Ron) presents one image to the street, but interally it is very different. He is definitely a visionary and has done great things to make this company what it is, but he does not see the value in investing in his people.
They also are not very open and encouraging to new people. They hire you because of your experience and what you bring to the table, but then they expect you to actually keep your mouth shut for at least a year (yet hold you accountable for work that needs to be done). Executives are known as saying it takes at least 6 months to figure out where the bathroom is to new hires.
Invest in your people. Stop being cheap. There's more to the organization than just the cafes. And trust the people you hire, their opinions and experience.

I worked at Panera Bread part-time (less than a year)Pros
If you are a student and need a part time job this is an okay place to work because they open early and close late, so there will undoubtedly be a shift that fits around your class schedule. The environment in some stores is better than in others, and that mostly depends on the management.Cons
The only "transferable skills" you are going to learn are going to be cultivated in your attempts to deal with this work environment.
Management is usually completely incompetent and rushed. Trainers (or at least mine) are unwilling to help out new employees and were often openly hostile. Fellow employees hate being there and in my experience didn't even bother to introduce themselves. Shifts are outrageously long and you are not expected to ask for a break. People are promoted to management positions based on how long they have worked for the company, not on whether or not they have any management skills.
So you are definitely going to learn a lot: how to stay cool under pressure, how to work quickly and efficiently, how to pay close attention to detail. You will also inadvertently learn a lot of great management technique: how to make everyone feel comfortable and welcome in their workplace, how to get the best out of your employees, how to read a frantic situation and who to put where to help fix it, how to say "please" and "thank you", and how to reward your employees for a job well done.Advice to ManagementAdvice
When regional managers come in to review and inspect the store, they need to do so inconspicuously. Ask some of the part-time or non-management employees how they think things are going. Sure, you will get some people who just want to rant and rant about an isolated incident, but you might also get some really great information about how your company is being run on the ground level.Doesn't RecommendPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEO

How even a small number of mobile users can have a powerful impact.
A common excuse online companies use for not investing in a mobile channel is that they feel few consumers will use it. What they fail to realize is that those relatively few mobile users will likely be more engaged, and thus more valuable than the typical consumer.
That's the interesting point Forrester Research Inc. made in a recent case study highlighting how online review company Yelp.com is leveraging its mobile app users to make its reviews web site more robust.
Yelp.com only has about three million monthly app users—a much smaller number than the 45 million who visit Yelp.com each month. But what Yelp realized was that it could use those engaged mobile users to make Yelp.com better.
For example, Yelp's app users can upload pictures of a place, from a restaurant to a hair salon, from their mobile devices. Those mobile shots don't just stay in the mobile realm, they are added to Yelp.com too, making reviews more colorful and informative. Today, Yelp says it receives an image from a mobile device every 30 seconds.
Yelp's app also lets users take notes about a place while they are there. That way, when a Yelper gets home to write her more lengthy analysis, she won't forget to mention that the bathrooms were dirty or that the garlic mashed potatoes were heavenly.
These are just a few examples of Yelp.com's smart approach to mobile. For more examples, check out the Internet Retailer story here.
Yelp and Forrester make a great case for all companies to invest in mobile. Because even if a mobile channel is small, it can still pack a potent punch. And the growing number of smartphone owners means the number of consumers accessing retail web sites from mobile phones is steadily growing.
Responsive design is the best way for retailers to serve mobile shoppers, argues the CEO ...

that 400$ ( then talk me down) starting price for a Ruger p90 is a fair price? I was trying to sell this gun on a local ( to me) gun forum and the gun is in 99.99% BNIB shape. I had a guy offer me 250 $ which I thought was way low so i didnt sell it. I hung on to it. For that price I rather keep it. if the guy made me a realistic offer I woudl of sold it. i see them in stores for 500+ so I didnt think 400 was too high a starting asking price. I only shot 50 rounds out of it and the previous owner shot maybe 50 also.
What do you think?

I'd say about $350 would be a fair asking price.
I can find them NIB at the store for about $430-450.
Well, you in Cali...I am in NC, just a bit different.
Ask $400
$375-$400 looks like a good price going from what I see on the web.
Here in GA, about $300 would be the price it actually sells at...
Markets vary by region, but $400 seems like a good starting point. Around here sellers have been asking $400-425 for "like-new" examples, and generally get $350+ for them.
I think that $400 sounds like a fair price. Especially if you are willing to negotiate.
I think it would go for about that price here in Colorado.
My local gun shop has two of them right now, they are used but look really good, however they it seems that they do not attract any buyer as they have been in the case for a couple of months now. He just reduced them to $ 325. This is in the Philadelphia area.
e fluctibus irruit in hostem
Comsubin for ever!!!!
I own a P93,P94 and a P95. Nice shooting pistols but not an easy CC firearm. I don't think I paid more than $350 for any of them, used in good condition. I expect it depends a lot on the local market.

Fox Sports 7 Round Mock Draft
15. Houston — Clay Matthews, LB, USC, Senior: Clay's kid and Bruce's nephew can play a bit of football, too. A starter for only one year at USC, Matthews was a breakout performer during his senior season, rose to the top at the combine and was all the buzz at the USC Pro Day. Outside linebacker is an area of need for the Texans, and the Matthews name is as good as gold in the city of Houston. Fifteenth overall may be a little early, but this is a perfect match.
We pass on Malcolm Jenkins!?!?
16. San Diego — Malcolm Jenkins, CB, Ohio State, Senior: In a draft without an abundance of top-flight defensive backs, Jenkins is the top CB. His 40 speed isn't up there with 2008 first-rounders Leodis McKelvin or Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, but he's played against tougher competition than either of those young men did over the course of their college careers. The Chargers have gone with defensive backfield picks in recent history — Antoine Cason, Antonio Cromartie, Eric Weddle — but still seem unsettled at the position. If none of the top four offensive tackles are on the board, look for them to go with Jenkins, who can likely play safety or corner.
46. Houston — Vontae Davis, CB, Illinois, Junior: If Davis slips all the way to here, it'd be a major shocker for the talking heads. But with a relatively underwhelming class of cornerback prospects, this is actually quite possible. Vernon's brother could start right away in Houston.
77. Houston — Andy Levitre, G, Oregon State, Senior
112. Houston — Nic Harris, S/LB, Oklahoma, Senior
122. Houston — Rashad Jennings, RB, Liberty, Senior
152. Houston — Cary Harris, CB, USC, Senior
188. Houston — Bruce Johnson, CB, Miami, Senior
223. Houston — Drew Willy, QB, Buffalo, Senior
They got Maybin at #11 to Buffalo, Ayers at #13 to Washington, Cushing at #14 to NO, Beatty at #22 to Minnesota, Pettigrew at #24 to Atlanta, Everette Brown at #25 to Miami.
I really hope we don't pass up on Jenkins if we drops to us....
Re: Fox Sports 7 Round Mock Draft
So, we draft 3 cb's, but pass on the best in the class? One of them is a guy who is largly considered uncoachable? No thanks.
Re: Fox Sports 7 Round Mock Draft
Another mock made by reporters that don't do their homework and have no idea of our needs.
Re: Fox Sports 7 Round Mock Draft
I still think we're grabbing Gartrell Johnson rds 5-7 depending on how fast other RBs go.
Re: Fox Sports 7 Round Mock Draft
Re: Fox Sports 7 Round Mock Draft
They like their DBs....and they are going to sink or swim with what is on the roster. the number is twenty five. they have to move the sack total out of the mid twenties. And if this is they way they go.....they are telling you when they send Mathews.....they expect him to get there. and if he succeeds.....then every body's boat is going to float higher in the water. Including the DBs.
Re: Fox Sports 7 Round Mock Draft
Re: Fox Sports 7 Round Mock Draft
15: Malcolm Jenkins
46: Louis Delmas
47: trade our 3rd, first 4th & 5th to NE to move up to mid 2nd & take Lawrence Sidbury
it would hurt a bit to trade those 3 picks but those 3 players would help our defence greatly. i think sidbury would be worth it.
122: Rashad Jennings is a nice pick and would be great value there
then get some OL depth with Isdaner & Fulton in rounds 6&7
Re: Fox Sports 7 Round Mock Draft
one of the things that i just can't get over is the abundance of mocks that have us taking more than one of any single position. Smith has yet to do that in any of his drafts and they have us taking three CB's in this draft. i can see us taking one and then taking another as a CB/FS tweener but to have three go to us... just seems excessive to me not to mention unlikely.
Re: Fox Sports 7 Round Mock Draft
He just does it in an odd (and disagreeable) way
Re: Fox Sports 7 Round Mock Draft
I love 4 out of the first 5 picks. I would be very pleased with this draft through round 4 overall. I'm not wild about Nic Harris because he seems to be a tweener. I would take Brandon Williams from Tech there if available and this becomes an A+ thru the first four rounds.
After that, things go off track with multiple CB picks. How about a safety in there, and maybe a developmental tackle or TE?
Re: Fox Sports 7 Round Mock Draft
I wonder why they think we need another 7th round QB?
Re: Fox Sports 7 Round Mock Draft
I think its a pretty decent mock. I am hoping we don't take Jenkin's. He is not that impact player we are looking for. From what I read he is to slow to play CB in the NFL and who knows if he can play safety. Not the first round impact player we are looking for. Smells like Babbin.

We can't choose our relatives!
Contrary to popular belief, not every member of my family is eccentric although I grudgingly admit to some rather odd behavioural patterns demonstrated by a few of my maternal relatives. Uncle Willie was a World-Class oddball.
He emigrated to Australia in 1910 when he was in his twenties and set about making his fortune. A subscriber to the theory that hard work alone can result in success, Willie progressed from hotel bellhop to kitchen hand, from motor mechanic to chauffeur and probably managed a little sheep shearing and mustering in his spare time. By the age of thirty, his labours had enabled him to make an investment in a small hotel in Adelaide and several years later, he became the sole owner.
My mother made the long journey to Australia at the age of seventy-three and returned some ten weeks later accompanied by Uncle Willie. I had never seen my mother's brother except in photographs so I was totally unprepared for the fact that he was profoundly deaf. This disability was not allowed to impede his enjoyment of life. He carried out conversations at the top of his voice, irrespective of surroundings and frequently to the great embarrassment of those in his company. In a rare moment of carelessness, my mother took him to our local church. The customary tiny congregation was alarmed to have their devotions interrupted by a stentorian comment, delivered in an Australian accent to the effect that he had "seen dead sheep looking healthier than that bloody minister."
The Western Australian climate and his comfortable lifestyle had treated my uncle very well and although in his eighties, he had the enthusiasm for the pleasures of the flesh normally associated with a man twenty years younger. My mother was, by her own admission, rather traditional in her views. As the former principal of the local school, she felt obliged to host bridge parties and to perform other similar acts of hospitality. As it was clearly unrealistic to remove her brother from the house on those occasions, he was invited to make up a four with three female members of the staff.
At first, the three ladies were intrigued by the extrovert colonial. As the evening progressed they discovered that his success at this genteel card game was enhanced by his undoubted skill at card manipulation, gained over decades of poker with sheep shearers. Their reaction to this revelation was only equalled by their feigned horror at the outrageous propositions allegedly made whilst my mother's best china progressed around the table. The bridge evening terminated in total disarray, Willie dispensing Scotch whisky with a generosity only ever associated with a bottle belonging to someone else. As the guests departed unsteady and much the worse for wear, my uncle could be heard bellowing his goodnights having been thwarted in his efforts to escort the ladies home.
I suspect that the quiet area of Adelaide wherein his hotel was situated was probably quite free of vehicles. Whatever the reason, Willie was totally fearless in traffic. At the outset of a visit to the city of Aberdeen, some seventeen miles away, he announced that he would drive my mother's Hillman Imp. My mother actively hated driving and was all too ready to believe her brother's exaggerated claims to perfection at the wheel of any motor vehicle. Her illusions were shattered as Willie thrashed the gear lever around the floor in a futile attempt to find a forward gear. His first try resulted in a very rapid rearward progression only halted by a grass verge and a thankfully resilient hedge. Unable to hear my mother's instructions, he finally managed, after several further attempts, to engage a forward gear and set off for the city. I understand that he accomplished the whole journey without ever discovering the location of third or fourth gear.
Claiming that the middle of the road was the safest place to be in order to avoid the dangers of local fauna springing from the undergrowth, he reportedly ignored the needs of other road users who were forced to swerve and brake violently to avoid him. The final straw was loaded onto the camel's back when Willie, having eventually arrived in Aberdeen, spotted a small shop selling souvenirs of Scotland. Despite the heavy rush hour traffic, he simply stopped the car in the middle of the road and wandered over to the shop to stare through the window. Unable to hear the cacophony of horns as angry drivers expressed their disapproval, he disappeared into the shop. My mother was obliged to get into the driving seat and move the car to the side of the road, ignoring the double yellow lines. Some minutes later, Willie emerged from the shop triumphantly bearing an enormous stag's head complete with antlers.
With his trophy secured in the back seat, glassy eyes glaring balefully at following traffic, he took his passenger on a tour of the city, reportedly ignoring a succession of red traffic lights, one way streets and pedestrian crossings. Eventually his erratic progress attracted the attention of the local constabulary and a police car followed him for several miles before they managed to attract his attention and convey their earnest wish for him to stop. Despite a list of offences that would have occupied the Magistrates' Court for several sittings, the policeman despaired of trying to make himself understood and let him off with a warning and an insistence that my mother take over the duties of chauffeur.
Eventually, to the great relief of many of my relatives, the visit drew to a close. My mother and Willie travelled to Heathrow where he became involved in an animated discussion regarding the quantity of luggage that he offered for checking in. There was still a good deal of time to kill prior to the departure of his flight and he pronounced that they would travel by taxi to Oxford Street for some last minute shopping. As he had not been satisfied about the safety of all of his luggage in the airline left luggage, the stag's head accompanied them on the visit to the shops.
Even after many years had elapsed, my mother shuddered each time she related the story of their progress through the crowds on Oxford Street. The antlers of a stag are used in courting rituals but their main purpose is that of a weapon. It was probably some primeval instinct that made the London shoppers realise that the approach of my heavily armed relative spelt immediate danger, because they dived into shop doorways, they ran into the road and some even turned and ran the other way.
The show was terminated when a large policeman came up behind them. Uncle Willie was of course unable to hear the summons to stop. The officer reached out and put a restraining hand on my uncle's shoulder. Willie spun around in alarm and one antler jabbed the policeman in the stomach. After a great deal of explanation from my mother and an even greater deal of protest from Willie, the policeman decided that there was no case to answer and summoned a police van to convey the pair back to Heathrow before some serious damage could be done. Predictably, my uncle assumed that he was being arrested and seemed inclined towards resistance. Still clutching the stag's head he was shovelled into the back of the police van protesting vigorously about Police Brutality every inch of the way.
Several months later, I was on an overnight stop in Athens and was chatting with a Qantas crew who was also overnighting. As is customary, the conversation turned to flying matters and one of the Qantas flight attendants related the tale of a totally deaf Australian who insisted on carrying a stuffed stag's head, complete with horns into the cabin. He steadfastly refused to be parted from the beast and claimed to be unable to hear the instructions to hand it over for safe stowage by the cabin crew.
Eventually, he was upgraded to an unoccupied seat in First Class where the animal was able to occupy an adjacent seat. Reportedly, both passengers slept soundly all the way to Singapore. A chorus of disbelief greeted her story.
I leaned over to whisper the name of the outrageous passenger in her ear and confessed to my relationship. She looked at me with amazement.
"So you can back up the story!"
"Yes, absolutely," I replied. "By strange coincidence, the man is my uncle."
She looked at me with disbelief.
"You mean, you are actually related to that man and they let you fly aeroplanes?"
"It's not as crazy as giving a free upgrade to a dead stag." I retorted.

dAILY vITMAIN f[ITNESS] - mONDAY
I wasn't planning on running today...the weather was terrible again and my man was home from work so we were just going to spend another day chillin'. But plans change, as they always do and I got a run in at the gym. It was a 5.5 miler in 47 minutes.
I was going to do some core, but my manager was there and instead of working out more, we just chatted. Oops, sorry abs, but it was good to talk to her.
The rest of this week is suppose to be really nasty weather, so all my runs will be on the treadmill I fear. I guess we'll see how it goes.

Clean, convenient
The false fire alarm at 1 in the morning.
We asked for a king online and we were given 2 doubles. We were able to make it work. There was a small piece of paper on the floor in the bathroom that was kind of gross.
Restaurant was great, location was great. Waterpark was cool but super crowded.
Couldn't check in til almost 6pm, tons of dead wasps inside sliding glass window in room.
The front desk staff were very helpful. We enjoyed our stay. Location to restaurants and shopping is perfect.
King size room roomy, clean nice hot breakfast selection, shower pressure, retractable clothesline
Both "Hot" tubs were actually cool, my husband & I left it early to go back to our room to take a hot shower to warm up! Also wanted to go down the water slide but no water running or sign to instruct how to get it running. $$$ on snacks, not very friendly staff
The night manager was very helpful and curtious.
The freezing weather hahaha
Beds super comfortable
Inconvenient outlets, tube TV, no bacon at breakfast
I liked the price of the room.
I did not like the fact that children were playing in the pool until 11:30pm.
Needs updating. Pool and hot tub disgusting. It is a 1960 motel style, staff seemed like who cares and there was no lifeguard at pool but an armed guard.
It was barely acceptable.
they charged me twice for the rooms
I love staying in a historic hotel. The prices were a bit hight due to Sturgis week, but I wanted to stay and enjoy the history and elegance of the hotel. The location being smack dab in the middle of downtown Rapid City was more then convient! My room was well outfitted and beautifully decorated. Additionally, during my short stay, the staff had been very helpful and friendly.
The room was filthy.
Now, I'm not at all a pick person and I understand "things happen" but in my mere 6hr overnight stay I encountered someone else's hair in the shower (stuck on the wall and in the drain), dirty bathroom mirrors (smears), a splinter in my foot from walking around barefoot, and dirt on my bed comforter. I rinsed the hair from the walls and ignored the drain, used other mirrors and kept my imagionation from wondering wild with speculations as to what the smears were, due to a lack of tweezers I had to squeeze and scratch the item out of my foot, and I shook the comforter out and brushed the dirt from the sheets. Oh, and I went to read the hotels room book, which offered a history write up of the hotel as well as points of interest in the area; the pages were stuck together and sticky. (I did get a bit grossed out by my sticky fingers).
Additionally, the water temputure in the shower was continually inconsistent. For 30 min it ranged from scolding hot to ice cold. Continually back and forth hot then cold, hot then cold, the water never seemed to stabilize. I had about 5min of luke warm water to wash up with. The rest of the time I'd been standing there at the end of the shower spray at the back of the tub, trying to take a sponge bath. Very annoying.
All of that aside, my final surprise came when I went to check out at 4a.m ,to grab a flight, and I inquired about a cup of coffee in the lobby. The (wonderful) front desk gal appoligised that they didn't have coffee in their lobby and that Seattles Best opened at 5 or 6. Not a big deal, but not what a traveler wanted to hear at 4a.m. :-)
I did not notify the front desk of my annoyances because I had been just passing through and only needed a bed for the night. Also, as I said, things happen and I'm not overly picky. Brush off the annoyance and move on.
Would I stay there again? Perhaps. I would check with the Adobe hotel down the street first and compare rates. If they were a bit more, I'd opt to pay the difference. If I did choose to stay at the Alex Johnson again, at the time of booking, I would mention my previous experience and ask that the room I reserve be checked by housekeeping prior to my arrival.
Staff were very friendly and accomadating to our every need.
We were booked in the presidential suite. It was perfect!!
location, value
hard to spot, parking
The room smelled terrible
Friendly staff
I slept well
The refrigerator turned on 4 times an hour and was very loud which sometimes woke me up.
I liked the stay overall I had no problems with the hotel.
The room was a little dull and the countertops had a film on them.
The beds, the cookies in the lobby, the coffee 24/7
The price
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us
Please send us an

Many U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) decisions consider only health factors. EPA's primary general approach for considering uncertainty in this class of problems has been to use safety or default adjustment factors. (See Chapter 2 for a discussion of the use of default adjustment factors, or defaults.) The decision rule for these approaches is to set a standard or regulation that is highly protective by applying defaults. These approaches are health protective in nature, widely used, and sometimes embodied in statutes. As discussed in Science and Decisions (NRC, 2009), many of the defaults that EPA uses were developed on a scientific basis and can be adequate and acceptable to use in some risk assessments. For example, in instances when there is not adequate information or when the potential uncertainties are such that the use of defaults compared to quantitative uncertainty analyses is unlikely to affect a decision, defaults can be used.
One of the main objections that decision analysts have to using default factors is that they incorporate implicit judgments by analysts or scientists who do not make the regulatory decision. Furthermore, those judgments and their implications are not always independent and are not always explained to decision makers, which makes it difficult for the decision makers to properly interpret the assessment in the context of other factors.
Using health-protective (called conservative) analytic or default approaches to account for multiple uncertainties can result in an overestimation of health risks and a level of precaution in excess of one based on expected values (Nichols and Zeckhauser, 1988; Viscusi et al., 1997). With this happens—a situation sometimes referred to as compounding conservatism—the precaution level for each individual analysis might be such that the marginal cost of precaution equals or slightly outweighs the marginal health benefit, but when multiple analyses use that level of precaution and are combined, the precaution level becomes such that the overall marginal cost far exceeds the overall marginal benefit. It is unclear, however, how extensive that problem is in reality, and, as discussed by the Government Accountability Office, EPA has taken steps to improve such analyses and avoid some of the problems of compounding conservatism (GAO, 2006). Cullen (1994) evaluated the effects of potential compounding conservatism and found that "there exist cases in which conservatism compounds dramatically, as well as those for which the effect is less notable" (p. 392).
To the extent that the probability distribution function is flat and wide (that is, it has "fat tails"; see Farber, 2007, for discussion) rather than being tall and single-peaked, the safety factor will be high relative to the expected value. Conversely, if the probabilities of adverse outcomes are very

We stayed one night at the Sebel Lodge Yarra Valley and really like the rooms with a nice view on the golf courses. The restaurant served excellent breakfast with everything imaginable included. What was disappointing was the internet fee of 0.55 AUD a minute. While the rate was capped at around 30 AUD/day, you would easily spend that amount for only an hour of connectivity, which is just too much!

10.30pm and we pull up in Vista Drive.
Had a great exit from Tullamarine, landed at 8.40pm but had to wait for Quarantine to come on the plane and examine a passenger. You can imagine what goes thru your head at that stage. Anyway, can't have been too bad as we were all allowed to leave the plane once the Quarantine Inspector left.

IT WAS AWESOME SO FLUFFY AND DELICIOUS AND mmhhhh could have eaten more of them. If you want that I eat more cupcakes (or ...
