The setting of Rancho Margot is amazing, it's like you are camping in style. My daughter and I stayed in a bungalow and loved it. But, as others have said, know what you are getting - it's not a luxury hotel by any standards. The "green" aspect of the place is what attracted us to it, and it was fun taking the ranch tour and learning all the things they are doing. They heat their own water and generate their own electricity, which means the showers are very comfortable, but not really hot, and the lighting is good, but not super bright. This was great for us, but again, just wanted to let others know. We loved walking around and seeing the farm, and just being close to nature. The staff was very friendly and helpful. All this would make us come back. Except for the food. Our first meal was lunch, and I actually said I could probably be a vegetarian if all meals could be this good. Then that was pretty much the last meal we ate. The food sits out for two hours. If you come at the end everything (hot and cold foods) are at room temperature. This did not seem safe and was not very palatable. Neither of us felt well for several days and the rest of our meals, when we did eat, were mostly rice and bananas.More

I have been working at Riot Games full-time
Everyone has already mentioned the extremely generous perks and benefits that Riot offers so I won't go too much into that. Riot is a place where you can feel inspired working with some of the most incredible and brilliant minds you'll likely ever work with anywhere in your career. You also get the opportunity to take on passion projects outside the scope of your immediate responsibilities more so than you might at most other organizations.
The "D20," what we call the senior leaders who report into the three new executive heads, are an interesting group. There are a small handful in that group the rest of the organization views as competent. The rest are a disaster combination of highly insecure men (literally we are talking about men) who also think they know best and constantly compete to be the smartest voice in the room. Then we wonder why we have failed to produce a legitimate second game despite unlimited funds, resources and freedom from constraints for years.
Advice to Management
To the three new executive heads, you are being watched very closely at this pivotal point in time and your decisions on what you do with your leadership team can make or break this company; it can mean the difference between your highest performers in the rest of the org staying or going. This is your opportunity to turn things around and we are all holding our collective breaths and praying that you get this right.
Any one of your "D20" leaders who consistently blames the system, or other teams and/or especially members of their own teams as reasons why they are struggling, especially if these leaders have been in their jobs for more than 4 or 5 years, should be swiftly and unceremoniously exited from the company. Total ownership is a mindset change and mindset changes could take years to internalize. We don't have years, the stakes are too high. If a leader at that high level of authority in the organization cannot find a way to turn the ship around after multiple years, they should not be in that role.
You have a goldmine of top-tier, passionate talent at your fingertips, they are being severely handicapped from reaching their full capabilities by the egos and incompetence of your senior leadership. If you don't fix this soon, you'll lose your talent.
Your already-minuscule population of women leaders are slowly becoming flight risks, not only because it's hard to be a female leader here (and let's be clear, it is hard) but because we look around us and see so many incompetent men who have mastered the art of speaking confidently rising in the leadership ranks and staying there despite ongoing ineptitude. The "embrace failure" mantra only applies to the men here, who are not held accountable for those failures especially if they are one of the "bros", whereas the women get raked over the coals for any missteps.

I have been working at Riot Games full-time (More than 3 years)
Great people filled with passion. Unlimited PTO. Stocked pantries and a full buffet.
Leadership is questionable, especially in the areas of Talent/Recruiting. Mistrust is rampant and the Riot Manifesto, the living code of the company, is now a straw dog.
Honest and open feedback given to leadership of those teams, in the spirit of improving the situation, is not taken well with the recipients deflecting responsibility or becoming overly defensive.
Talent Partners (HR Reps) and members of the recruiting team have left or are leaving. And as we've been told Talent leadership, "People leave a job they love not for more money or greater opportunity, but because of poor leadership". Physicians heal thyselves.
Creative Development is leaderless. Teams spin up , spend millions of player dollars, and spin down with no accountability. Yes, part of this is the creative process, but how often and much wasted player money is too much? Such a waste of talent who believed in Riot.
Advice to Management
New Leadership is in place - start leading. Take a look at exit interview feedback and look for commonalities. People loved Riot and yet they left. Why is that?

I have been working at Riot Games full-time (More than a year)
- Excellent Team: Most people I work with are the best at their jobs I have worked with. Everyone from engineering leads to talent partners to recruiters to product owners to project managers
- No jerks policy works: most engineers are smart AND easy to work with
- Highly Collaborative: open culture of constructive feedback is truly in effect, and you are expected to contribute
- People Read the Docs: If you write documentation for your work, people generally read it and give feedback on it
- Truly a gamer culture: people are passionate about good games from top to bottom
- Lap of Luxury: Working at Riot is an experience in luxury - great food, great coffee, amazing facilities. Its almost too much
- Large scale is stressing Traditional Riot Values: Riot is now a large-ish company, and its bottom-up, gamer-first culture is under stress. These growing pains are going to hit the long-timers pretty hard in the coming years
- Innovators Dilemma: After years of focusing on an incredibly successful product, finding "what's next" is difficult and slow. Many Rioters want to do something new, but the culture and the structure of the company don't make it clear how to make that happen
- No Clear Leadership: Highly collaborative culture is great, but its far too time consuming to create horizontal alignment for every decision, including massive strategic pivots. This is changing, and the internal management structure is starting to become more top-down/hierarchical. Most of Riot considers a Bad Thing, but in my judgement, its a necessary step to take the company to the next step.
- Non-financial decision making: Riot pretty much NEVER considers money when making decisions. This leads to a lot of difficult to understand priorities. Again, the new leadership is starting too look at normal considerations like ROI and margin when making decisions. I think its a good idea, but talking dollars and cents is jarring to lots of long-time Rioters.
- Not Invented Here (NIH): A lack of monetary accountability and some degree of engineering over-confidence allows engineers to re-invent the wheel a lot more often than than necessary
Advice to Management
- Continue adding financial accountability structures and some hierarchical managerial practices
- Be aware that this will alienate long-time Rioters and be careful in making these adjustments
I have been working at Riot Games full-time
- gaming focused culture
- talented and passionate teams
- flat organizational hierarchy
- healthy mix of work and play
- awesome campus, lots of perks (free food, etc)
- org structure, roles and responsibilities can be ambiguous
- not a lot of accountability when there's failure
- senior leadership is risk averse and lacks diversity

Relentless wheel of nonsense, mixed priorities, and games (not the good kind).
Advice to Management
Remove the blockers (upper management) and get back to what made Riot great.
Helpful (7)
I have been working at Riot Games full-time (More than 3 years)
1. Unlimited growth and learning -- you are only capped by your imagination and determination. I have learned more in my craft at Riot than I could have in 15 years at my previous company. I'm so grateful for the opportunities to learn that I've been given and the hard work of my mentors. This gift is so valuable to me that I feel a duty to pass it on to others in the org. My mentors have inspired me to grow others as much as they have grown me.
2. Truly awesome co-workers, deep interpersonal bonds between Rioters, awesome culture and social environment. I treasure my friends that I've made at Riot and love working with my team. They make me laugh and look forward to coming to work. I have made deep lifelong connections at Riot that I will always cherish.
3. When Riot's culture lives up to its ideal (which it often does, at least on LoL), it feels soooo good to work there--people are rational, open-minded, Socratic, authentic, funny, kind, and competent. Collaboration can reach a crazy height of functionality at Riot. (This is not always what happens, but in my experiences it is virtually extinct at many other companies, and is the status quo in many places within Riot).
4. Pay is ok if you could work in tech, and great for the video game industry. Great benefits. Pretty good work life balance for most people.
5. Riot CAN make great gaming experiences, but needs to ship. Like yesterday.
1. New senior leadership still adjusting to their role, and still working toward articulating a resonant mission which can plausibly capitalize on Riot's unique strategic advantages.
2. Sexism is common, I'm mostly immune to it, but sometimes it gets under my skin a little. Some old-boy types are poor listeners and might have pretty inflated egos at this point from being treated like gods for the several years.
3. A bunch of people have been ruined by poor accountability, and flush their days down the toilet playing games-- producing nothing of value for years in many cases.
Its painful, and disruptive of people's lives, but ultimately best to let these people go. It's best for both them and for everyone who does earn their keep at Riot. They deserve to feel the satisfaction of a hard day's work and pay they've truly earned by contributing value somewhere... else.
Advice to Management
More cohesive direction and vision is needed. Riot is a super-fast sports car just sitting in the garage--the organization is bursting with talent and potential, but someone needs to get in the car and drive it somewhere... for the love of god... please drive the car somewhere.
As a senior leader, in some situations, your instincts and experience are enough--sometimes you will know exactly what needs to be done, and simply execute toward it.
But sometimes you will not know, and sometimes you will not even know that you do not know. It can be hard to tell the difference between when you know what to do, and when you don't. That is why great leaders also listen carefully and constantly.
When we listen we are better be able to tell the difference between when we know the right answer and when we don't.
I worked at Riot Games full-time (More than 5 years)
- Amazing perks (great health benefits, fully subsidized meals and snacks, unlimited PTO, and more)
- Passionate people that truly care about the player experience
- If you ask, many are willing to teach you about their work
- Many do take play seriously to keep themselves current in the industry
- In general, Rioters have the best intentions
- The quality of work expected is really high
- They take community feedback to heart
- Entitlement and complacency is growing
- Weaponizing the mission and manifesto in defense of being questioned about their work and decisions instead of justifying the why
- More Rioters not seeking to understand the cost (resources and time) of what they ask for
- Compromising strong cultural values for specific skills in new hires, bringing with them toxic bad habits from previous companies
- Several manual processes that have carried on from the older days are still around, causing more slow down in productivity.
Advice to Management
As much as I appreciate the focused and accountability direction the top leadership is putting on themselves and the other senior leaders, I hope they put new practices in place that identify self-serving people that are creeping in. Keep management hungry for growth and ask for ways to improve.
Unfortunately, the perks at Riot are becoming more of an influencing factor to motivate people to join and stay here. Continued growth is being replaced with "You just don't get it. Just do your job." If all the perks were taken away to help ensure the success of the company for the reason we were all led to believe, would they stay?
After being part of the company for 6 years, I've learned so much and will be forever grateful for the opportunities Riot Games has given me. Bring the healthy urgency back, don't lose the hunger and the humility, and continue to seek out growth and improvement. I'll always be rooting for you.

I have been working at Riot Games full-time (More than 5 years)
- Benefits
- Unlimited PTO
- Campus and free food
- Some super talented co-workers
-The company culture is a complete failure. It's mostly used in a weaponized way to win arguments.
Challenging convention is not a good idea at Riot, as well as giving negative feedback. You will be labeled as a negative, toxic person, and you won't be having an easy time with your team. The senior leadership, especially, doesn't take negative feedback very well, and is extremely good at dancing around issues and using their political skills. Agree with the leadership (or who's in touch with it), and everything will be alright.
Despite what the so-called "Riot Manifesto" says, titles count at Riot, and a lot of senior people leverage them (combined with Alpha behaviors, political games and back stabbing) to win arguments and keep their status.
"Hungry&Humble", I've seen many high-level people making fun of other companies and talking about Riot superiority, despite Riot constantly failing at delivering a second game in the last decade. Egos of a lot of people are way too big.
- Favoritism is a big issue in the company, a lot of people in the senior leadership are not qualified for their jobs and, despite their constant failures at what they're doing (and a lot of people under them having a hard time/losing their jobs), keep their positions because they're buddies with the owners. These people's accountability doesn't exist, which is very disrespectful for the other employees.
- In 4 years I've experienced and seen a lot of discrimination towards sex, race and nationality, by a lot of people who never faced consequences for their actions.
- Extreme corporate atmosphere, with a lot of bad politics happening.
- Being at Riot feels like being in a cult. Orientation ("De-Newbiefication" in the Riot language) is basically a full week of indoctrination. You're forced to wear an embarassing hat and, during one of the classes, you're asked to share a painful experience, in which you felt vulnerable (exactly like a lot of cults do). A lot of company gatherings in which a lot of hyperbolic (unrealistic, in reality), things about the company are said, to an audience wearing Riot clothes. Questioning stuff that Riot does (the game, esports, etc.) is perceived extremely negatively.
- If you're planning on building a portfolio, go somewhere else. Riot moves slowly, the amount of work and the quality of it will be not up to par with the current industry standards.
Advice to Management
Start making accountability a thing, and get rid of a lot of the leadership (most of them would be associate/mid-level in a lot of other companies, anyways).
If the company culture means something, be pro-active in making sure people respect it, instead of allowing them to use it for their personal advantage. Or just change the company culture and be honest about it.
Start understanding that Riot has been able to put out only a mediocre game in 11 years (that now is starting to look and feel incredibly old), and realize that our competitors are constantly beating us.
Less time self-celebrating ourselves, more game-shipping.
Helpful (5)
I have been working at Riot Games full-time (More than 3 years)
- Opportunity for growth, I've worked at Riot for a few years and they have continued to recognize my performance and give me the opportunity to increase my scope.
- Challenging place, but almost always for the good. Riot's natural instinct is to question. The manifesto says "Challenge Convention" which can be done, but you have to be willing to do the challenge part.
- Takes great care of their employees, we have great benefits, an awesome location that we work in.
- True to the manifesto
- Autonomy, our managers do not breathe down our backs and review every line item of what we do. There is trust among us to do what is right.
- There is so much work to do, that you could literally not go home. You really have to self regulate yourself.
- The company does not have a great roadmap for the future (meaning it is behind the locked doors of R&D).
Advice to Management
- Ship another game. Leadership may need to help the R&D team prioritize and make a commitment to the players.
- Creating an overly corporate atmosphere (not that we are there now, but we could be sooner than later) may detract from our ability to move fast and make the best decisions for the players. Also, who wants to work in that kind of environment?

I made the mistake of deleting a screen capped snapchat from the spank bank. It's gone FOREVER
Nah, if it's from an ex, you have to dead that shit. It will just hold you back from giving that part of your mind to someone more deserving.
I mean you are one single case among the trillions of dudes that struggle with oneitis.
Ok, your point stands because I may just be an outlier. But I have to ask: wtf is oneitis?
Oneitis is when men take on an unhealthy hangup with their ex and backwards rationalize that they need to fix their relationship despite a lack of continuity because they believe that woman is special or particular. It's basically cognitive dissonance and insecurity about the end of a relationship and a lack of direction for knowing when shit is done and it is time to move on.
Sounds like the Lance Armstrong 1 testicle syndrome. In all seriousness, my guess is only ever having 1 SO.
Ha. I wish. My younger years are littered with stupid decisions and rushed relationships.
Oneitis is an infatuation with one chick. It can be cited as a reason why you cannot meet/date/hook up with other chicks. This mindset can also affect your ability to get with the girl who has helped you contract oneitis.
Usually I'm mad when I want to fap. But right after I fapped to something else I dont give shit anymore.
I will fantasize about literally any other woman on the planet if I'm in the right mood. But there is no constellation under which I could do the same thing for my ex. She actually looks better than ever, but I have zero attraction to her sexually.
My ex told me she was happy my dad died.
But it doesn't change the fact she knew how to suck my dick
Whelp... that summarizes everything that I even thought about saying in this thread. Adjust to fit your own life and basically that's the rule.
Funny how head game can override anything.
"Yeah she was a Neo-Nazi. Screamed "Nigger" at passersby, just overall an awful human being. Not a pleasure to be around in the least. But let me tell you about that dome, son."
Mine decided she hated me but that doesn't change that she looked damn good in lingerie
Some of the things that are said in this thread are fine, or at least bearable. But if anyone said this to me I would go berserk.
It's a little different, I am pretty scared of my parents dying, and I sometimes have dreams in which they die.
Well yeah, she was a shitty human. But for the years before and currently that shitty human was the best sex. As for the parents dying. It's really a dad truth we must learn. I was 22 and a child at that. The day he died I became the man of te house multiple jobs to make ends meet for a mother that couldn't handle it. You'd be amazed what you can overcome as long as you don't quit and keep going forward.
I hope you many many many more years with your parents and do not forget to tell them thanks for making you the person you are
Yes, absolutely. To be completely honest, I'd still hate fuck her given the opportunity.
For to long I have been confused about how I feel about my ex, but that pretty much sums it up
Yes, occasionally I make a spank bank withdrawal of the ex that cheated on me.
Yes. It is so much easier to fantasize about. Even though I regret it afterwards.
I'm surprised by all the yes answers. I've tried thinking about my ex and it just doesn't do anything for me anymore. Breaking my heart is a pretty big turnoff.
seconded. It's not every ex I still think about, but the one and I just had the best sex life. Every once in a while one of the encounters gets run up the flagpole.
I'm with you brother. No interest in my ex sexually anymore, in any way.
Not really, but I'm more of the exception to the rule. I can't really get aroused unless I feel loved or desired, and that's pretty much the polar opposite of how I feel when I split up with someone.
Sexual thoughts of her cross my mind from time to time but I'm not turned on by them. I used to be (at the time she was my girlfriend) fantisizing about her all day.
Breaking my heart is a huge turnoff, also since I found out about the emotional cheating etc, I don't view her as the same person, making me less attracted to her.
Essentially she told me I had nothing to worry about when she was acting distant and I got worried. She kept saying I'm just paranoid because of difficult experiences in my past etc, but then I saw messages to another guy saying "She's just going to break up with me first". Broke me down pretty bad, I'm just pissed I didn't listen to my gut.
Yes, I do occasionally masturbate to thoughts of her and utilize the videos we made. I went through a particularly bad breakup, my girlfriend cheated on my for about 6months, while I battled depression. Starting with my best friend and with her current boyfriend (together 4 months before she broke up with me). It's been a year and it can still hurt, I felt so out of control.
The videos I have allow me to feel in control again, I stress I would NEVER do it. But the fact that I have the power to ruin her life with friends and family with the videos therapeutic. Many would tell me I'm wrong with this line of reasoning, but it helps me deal with what happened.
I had a very similar situation and I feel the same way sometimes.
I fantasized about the last girl that broke my heart until I had sex with someone else. sex. break up. repeat.
I did and have since then as well, there are some things we did together that were simply so hot that they cannot be topped when trying to get in the mood.
Directly after, I was single for quite a while, so unfortunately most of my memories to fap to, turned out to be of her.
It doesn't mean I was still in love or even lust with her...in fact, it might even have been a revenge/coping mechanism. The fact that she can never take away my memories of us.
Even when I hated her, I still found certain things sexy to remember. Because at the time, we were in love, and in my memory I remembered those feelings rather than loathe them.
I think this is the mindset I can relate to the most. No matter what, those imitate moments and images of this woman you love doing things no one would expect in public are forever implanted in your mind. Most people choose to hate it but I agree I like them because of where they originated from.
Full steam ahead! We can still save it! I'm at work, someone get this man some tit pics.
Fantasize? No. Remember moments? Sometimes. I refuse to fantasize and block my mind from that. Not only is it poor attitude, in my opinion, but I owe it to myself to not do that. But those memories are mine as they are hers, and I'm entitled to remember that fondness if I want.
tl;dr: No, but I'll remember tender moments, but never let that become fantasy.
I couldn't get rid of/stop looking at dirty pics of my exes if I tried. Which I never have.
I have some of my ex. I'll never delete those, and even have backups on a flashdrive I keep in a lockbox with some other sentimental personal items. One day, potentially decades from now, who's to say I won't want to look back upon her rockin' tits?
Usually not right after a bad breakup. But once I start to get over it- if the sex was exceptionally good, yeah. And if there's any video of it, oh yeah.
I have to force myself to steer clear of those memories. At first, it meant watching porn whenever I rubbed one out, but now it just requires a small bit of will power and vigilance.
When my ex cheated on me, I was a wreck, but I still pictured her during sex with every girl for the next two months or so.
This is funny to me, when we were together I was sexually attracted to her and loved sex, but I never fantasized about her. I guess it's because there wasn't much I didn't know, no "mystery" or excitement that I could fill in with my imagination.
Now that it's been a while since we broke up, the memories of our sex life and fantasizing about having sex with her is some of the most arousing shit I know.
My ex was the best shag ever. I've finally gotten over her, but she knew I still harboured feelings of lust for her. She used this against me, and, when I was drunk, would come over and "seduce" me despite my initial protests. Really fucked with my head.
Yup. Crushed my heart and soul into a thousand pieces, but I loved her, and she was the best lover I ever had.
Since I just got broken up with the other day... Yes, more than when we were together :-(
Yes. The first month you just can't help it. And then it slowly fades away. But you keep doing it until you find a new girl, yeah. There's no avoiding it, even if you try.
Yes, because those are the sexual memories I have and they are easier to imagine rather than making things up. I might regret it afterwards though.
I make the mistake of thinking about my ex nightly. Been almost a year now.
Not really. My worst break up was with my first "Serious" girlfriend, and the intimacy with her was horrible and there wasn't much to fantasize about to begin with. It was a bad break up because I had misguided hopes for the relationship. Young and naive.
Very occasionally. Once enough time passes and you kinda forget about all the bad things, it's nice to think about. In a hate-fuck-you kind of way.
Yes, because, as much as I can't stand the thought of her as a person even being close, the lying backstabbing...she is still hot as hell, and a hot body is mostly all I need for a quick wank.
I didn't/couldn't fantasize about her for quite some time when we broke up, but then I found some pictures :D
after about the third time of me going back to her and her pulling the same old shit, i'm pretty done with it. before that, though, i'd dream about her and randomly recall experiences we had together.
I can't fantasize them while we were dating, and still don't after the relationship ended.
All the time, especially if my heart was broken in pieces. For someone to have that kind of effect on me means it's going to be tough to shake them from my mind. I eventually do but usually requires a new special someone for me to really get over a heartbreak.
I have a few times, but not recently (broke up Xmas '12). I specifically thought about situations though, and the parts of her body that were amazing (bewbies). Never her face, or her talking to me or really anything that couldn't have been anyone else. A bit off topic but that is just how I am; I'd say maybe only 20% of the time I'm jerking it to girls on my computer, the rest of the time it's all my imagination. I have done terrible, terrible imaginary :( things to Emma Stone. She's ok with it.
Anyway back on topic, the other thing is that a dude's mind sort of goes into a stupor when horny. You can be jacking it to the hottest thing in the world, and then as soon as you orgasm you realise you're watching Brazilian midget fart-fetish porn and feel almost ashamed. I imagine that for many here that's what it's like to jerk it to thoughts of an ex.
I do. I don't want to but I do. Truly, to have a really bad break up, it had to have been a really good relationship to start out with, so those memories stick.
Yes and no.
I do my absolute best to avoid thinking about my ex, unless I'm already miserable. (Which sadly is more often than it should be).
While sexual things between me and my ex do pop into my mind unsolicited, they're generally extreme mood killers due to my history with her.
Basically while my brain does force her into my fantasizing, it's about as useful as a screen door in a submarine as far as getting off.
I can fantasize about any person I might find appealing sexually. It doesn't matter what I think of them as a person. If that person has actually done the things to me I am imagining they are always at the ready in my head.
The longer you're apart from them the more you realize you only really remember the good sexual stuff and block out all the other happy moments.
Well I took my ex's virginity and it was a really good experience for her... we ended up having lots of amazing sex in the time we were together. There are are a lot of random sexual memories that I can pick and choose from, and I occasionally do.
I just have to push the memory of a messy breakup out of my head, or the thought of having somehow traumatized her future partners as a result. That part sobers me up real fast.
Sometimes, but its kind of rare. Its just really easy to, when you think back to all good sexual feelings.
My ex and I had some of the best fucking sex I've ever had. She would do this thing with her hips that would drive me absolutely nuts. That usually crosses my mind as I'm jerking off.
Nah, if she seriously gets on my bad side, she's essentially dead to me, sexually and emotionally.
Yes, if it was hot. Not sure it's healthy, but I think it's normal.
No, actually. When Im done Im done. The sexuality of the situation is first to go.
The one serious ex was really attractive. Couldn't get her outta my head for a couple years. Still had sex dreams about her and everything. Really wanted them to stop!
I sort of fantasise about a revenge fuck sometimes...like we hook up just one last time and as I'm coming I shout something like:
fucked your sister; or
I have aids
Probably never happen - only one of my exes has a sister
Yea, of course. The reason we had sex in the first place was because I was sexually attracted to her. Whatever gets the job done.
Most definitely but in a spiteful way...haha im thinking of you while doing the knuckle shuffle. Still love her somewhat i guess
r/AskMen is the premier place to ask random strangers for terrible dating advice, but preferably from the male perspective. A semi-serious place to ask men casual questions about life, career, and more. And don't be an asshole.

In a flip, voters oppose expanding bottle bill
If the election were held today, Massachusetts voters would pass a ballot initiative entitling employees to earn and use up to 40 hours of sick time each year, while the push to repeal the state's casino law would fail.
Voters would split almost evenly on delinking the gas tax from inflation. And after a barrage of potent television advertising, now six out of 10 would oppose an expansion of the mandatory 5-cent beverage container deposit to new drink categories such as bottled water and sports drinks — a flip from just two months ago.
Those are among the findings of a new Boston Globe poll, which also shows the race for governor remains a tossup.
Republican Charlie Baker leads Democrat Martha Coakley 39 percent to 36 percent, within the survey's margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percentage points. Twenty-one percent don't know who they are voting for.
The Globe survey of 401 likely voters, conducted Sept. 28-30 by SocialSphere Inc., echoes other polls released in recent days that have found the race to succeed Governor Deval Patrick too close to call.
Also on the bubble is a ballot question that would repeal the requirement that the state's 24 cents per gallon gas tax be adjusted annually with inflation starting next year. Forty-two percent said they would vote in favor of Question 1, the poll found. Forty percent said they would vote against it, leaving the tax linked to the Consumer Price Index, which means it will go up as goods and services get more expensive. Almost 20 percent don't know how they'll vote on the gas tax question, which came about after the Legislature passed a controversial transportation funding package into law last year that included a 3-cent hike of the per-gallon gas tax and linking future increases to inflation.
Just over half of likely voters in the Globe poll — 53 percent — say they would vote to keep the state's casino gambling law on the books, while 40 percent say they would vote yes on Question 3, repealing the law and prohibiting casinos from opening in the state.
Fifty-two percent of likely voters back the Question 4 effort that would entitle employees in Massachusetts to earn and use up to 40 hours of sick time each year. Just under a third would vote against the initiative, which has become a point of contention in the gubernatorial race. Coakley says she will vote yes, while Baker says he will vote no. Eighteen percent don't know how they would vote on the question, the Globe poll found.
More people have made up their minds on Question 2, the beverage container deposit expansion, also known as the "bottle bill." Sixty percent would vote against expanding the deposit, 33 percent would vote in favor of it. Only 8 percent said they didn't know how they would vote on Question 2.
The split is an inversion from August when a Globe poll, with slightly different wording, found 62 percent supported expanding the bottle bill, while 27 percent opposed it.
Currently there's a mandatory 5-cent deposit on soda, beer, malt beverage, and sparkling water containers. If voters approve the question, the deposit would apply to drink categories not currently covered, such as bottled water and sports drinks. Among other changes, it would also require the deposit amount to be adjusted with inflation every five years.
Proponents say the expansion would encourage more recycling, reduce litter, and save municipalities money on litter cleanup costs. Opponents say it would increase costs and expand an outdated and ineffective bottle redemption system.
Those opponents have been working through a group called No on Question 2: Stop Forced Deposits, which has spent millions of dollars on a media persuasion effort, far outpacing the spending of groups that favor the expansion, according to state filings.
"You can see the effect of political advertising" said pollster John Della Volpe, calling the No on Question 2 effort "a work of art."
The role of TV ads is also visible in the race for governor, he said.
Baker and Coakley will face off with the three independent candidates, who are each polling at 1 or 2 percent: Jeff McCormick, Evan Falchuk, and Scott Lively.
Baker is seen favorably by 51 percent of likely voters, the same number as in last week's poll and an uptick from two weeks ago. Twenty-three percent have an unfavorable view of him. Coakley's standing among likely voters is closer to evenly split, the poll found. Forty-eight percent have a favorable view of her, while 42 percent have an unfavorable view of her.
Baker has had positive ads boosting his candidacy in heavy rotation on TV since the Sept. 9 primary. That's probably a factor in how respondents have come to see him, Della Volpe, the chief executive of SocialSphere Inc., said.
Coakley's favorability ratings have been mostly static in recent weeks according to prior Globe polling.

Methods: Three samples of 46 patients with different conditions one sample of 46 healthy controls will be included in the study. The Experience Sampling Method (ESM) and the Day Reconstruction Method (DRM) will be adapted and subsequently used to measure experienced utility. Decision utilities will be elicited by traditional preference based methods.
Expected results: The expected results of this study are threefold. First, unified versions of the ESM and DRM for use in the economic evaluation of health care will be developed and applied. Second, a rich dataset will allow us to investigate the differences between the results of experienced utilities derived from these methods, with the traditional preference based measures. Third, the normative implications of the use of QALYs based on either decision utilities, experienced utilities, or a combination of the two, for health care resource allocation decisions, will be examined.
Keywords: experienced utility, decision utility, subjective well-being, experience sampling method, day reconstruction method
This study explores new methodology regarding the measurement of health state utilities. A new pharmaceutical is nowadays only reimbursed if there is evidence of cost-effectiveness. This can be determined by different types of economic evaluations, of which cost-utility analysis (CUA) is preferred in most guidelines. In CUA the health outcome of a technology is measured in quality adjusted life years (QALY). Utilities to calculate QALYs should be based on decisions under uncertainty (decision utilities). However, the health care literature describes several problems that lead to bias in the measurement of decision utilities. These biases lead to an inaccurate estimation of the value of a health state and can therefore cause policy makers to allocate resources inefficiently. To solve some of these problems, it was suggested to determine experiences associated with different health states by measuring well-being moment-to-moment (experienced utility) by the Experience Sampling Method or the Day Reconstruction Method.
Differences between the utilities measured using traditional preference based measures (decision utility), and using the new state-of-art methods ESM and DRM (experienced utility) in a range of populations with differing conditions and severity of health state will be investigated. Since somatic, psychosomatic and psychological conditions are likely to differ in the way they experience and affect well-being, we will involve patient groups from each category in this study as well as healthy controls.

2/22/10 - Whilst it is true that the Australian government has not been exactly ferocious in enforced its laws against online gambling, the fact remains that the Interactive Gaming Act 2001 does make it an offence for any company in Australia or overseas to provide online casino games to any person who is ''physically present in Australia''.
The punitive fines attached to such activities are no joke, either - up to A$220 000 a day for individuals, and A$1.1 million a day for companies.
All the more surprising, therefore, that Gibraltar-based Party Poker.com has been so bold in its recruitment efforts and statements of intent on Australia.
Over the weekend the Sydney Morning Herald latched on to the story, reporting that Party Poker is "...setting up office in Australia and advertising for staff even though the business is prohibited, not taxed and subject to fines of up to $1.1 million a day."
This apparent singeing of the 'King of Australia's' beard apparently includes "...advertising for a head of marketing in Australia, based in Sydney, to 'leverage the brand at the forefront of the poker market in Australia and New Zealand'''.
The SMH claims that the Interactive Gaming Act 2001 has never been enforced, with the government Downunder making no attempt to restrict the activities of online poker games or online casinos.
And it notes the Productivity Commission's recent draft report into gambling, which estimated that A$790 million flowed offshore to illegal online sites in 2008, without any of it recouped in tax.
"Internet gambling is also the fastest-growing type of gaming and is estimated to have tripled its earnings from Australians between 2004 and 2008," the SMH report informs.
The commission's final report is due next week and industry players expect it will recommend the government overturn the online gaming ban.
The SMH article quotes from Party Poker's advertisement that it is a ''...growing online poker business in Europe with plans to enter the Australasian market''.
Perhaps wisely at this point, the parent Party Gaming group did not respond to a request for comment!

A keyboard for data entry has a rigid portion containing a pump and a flexible inflatable portion including inflatable keys. A flexible circuit has a pair of contacts for each key which are bridged by key operation and extends through both portions to carry key operation signals to a processor in the rigid portion. A release valve permits deflation to a small size for storage and the pump effects inflation to its full size for operation.
The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows:
1. An inflatable keyboard comprising:
a housing having a rigid portion and a flexible portion;
the flexible portion having a chamber coupled to the rigid portion and extending substantially over the area of the keyboard;
a pump in the rigid portion for inflating the chamber to afford a firm keyboard base;
a valve in the housing for releasing pressure from the chamber to deflate the flexible portion for storage;
a flexible circuit extending along the area of the keyboard and carrying a plurality of conductors; and
a flexible array of keys adjacent the flexible circuit for selectively contacting the conductors to signal key actuation.
2. The invention as defined in claim 1 wherein the flexible array of keys includes a membrane spaced from the flexible circuit and carrying conductive means for bridging a pair of conductors upon key actuation.
3. The invention as defined in claim 1 wherein the flexible array of keys includes:
a membrane spaced from the flexible circuit and carrying conductive means for each key for bridging a pair of conductors upon key actuation;
a molded key matrix covering the membrane for defining key positions and responsive to manual actuation for urging the membrane against the flexible circuit in local regions corresponding to the key positions.
4. The invention as defined in claim 1 wherein the flexible array of keys includes:
a membrane spaced from the flexible circuit and carrying conductive means for each key for bridging a pair of conductors upon key actuation;
a molded key matrix covering the membrane and comprising a plurality of pads for manual actuation, each pad defining a key position; and
each pad having a periphery engaging a portion of the membrane to define an enclosed air cell such that depression of a pad causes the membrane portion to bulge against the corresponding pair of conductors.
5. The invention as defined in claim 4 wherein:
passages in the flexible circuit connect one side of each membrane portion to the chamber;
each membrane portion has a valve for admitting air to the air cell upon inflation.
6. The invention as defined in claim 4 wherein:
passages in the flexible circuit connect one side of each membrane portion to the chamber;
each membrane portion has a key valve for admitting air from the chamber to the cell upon inflation of the flexible portion; and
an aperture for bleeding air from each cell to the chamber upon deflation of the flexible portion.
7. The invention as defined in claim 6 wherein each key valve is a flap valve covering a hole in the membrane, and the air bleed aperture is in the flap valve.
8. The invention as defined in claim 1 wherein the pump includes a manually operable actuator for operating the pump.
9. The invention as defined in claim 1 wherein the flexible circuit carries electronic circuitry in the rigid portion for processing signals.
10. The invention as defined in claim 1 wherein
the flexible array of keys includes a membrane spaced from the flexible circuit and carrying conductive means for bridging a pair of conductors upon key actuation, and a molded key matrix covering the membrane for defining key positions;
slots in the flexible circuit and the membrane adjacent each key position; and
legs depending from the molded key matrix and extending through the slots for connecting the key matrix and the membrane to the flexible circuit.
This invention relates to digital input devices and particularly to a keyboard which is inflatable for use and deflatable for storage in a small space.
Digital electronic devices of very small size are in common use. These include wrist watches, pocket-size devices and vehicle installed devices which have electronic chips and a display, but have no room for a full-sized keyboard, if any. Atbest such devices which contain data bases include miniature keyboards which permit only very slow data entry. A conventional full size keyboard would be inconvenient or impractical to incorporate as an accessory to the small digital device. It is thusdesirable to provide a data entry device which is both small or compact for convenient storage and which also allows quick and easy entry of commands or data.
It is therefore an object of the invention to afford an input device for a digital electronic device which is compact for storage purposes and large enough for convenient data entry.
An inflatable keyboard is sufficiently large for normal manual operation when inflated and small enough to fold or roll into a small package when deflated. The keyboard may be only a numeric keypad or a full alpha-numeric layout. The keyboardhas a rigid portion attached to a flexible air inflatable portion. The rigid portion includes a hand pump for inflation of the flexible portion, a valve for air release, and electronic chips for processing keyboard signals. The flexible portioncontains keys which are substantially full-size and well spaced for easy manipulation, a pressure chamber which, when inflated, provides a firm base for the keyboard, and a flexible circuit which extends into the rigid portion and carries the electronicchips. The flexible circuit has a pair of contacts at each key site which signal a key actuation to the electronic chips.
The keys comprise two main parts, a membrane slightly spaced from the flexible circuit with a conductor element for each key which is positioned to selectively bridge a pair of contacts on the flexible circuit, and a key matrix having a domed padfor each key. Each pad seals at its perimeter to a region of the membrane to define an enclosed air cell such that when a pad is depressed the associated membrane region will be deflected to bridge its conductor element across corresponding pairs ofcontacts. Valves couple the cells to the chamber to permit inflation of the cells when the chamber is pressurized, and a bleed hole in the valve permits deflation of the cells when pressure is released from the keyboard .
The above and other advantages of the invention will become more apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein like references refer to like parts and wherein:
FIG. 1 is a partial isometric view of an inflatable keyboard according to the invention;
FIG. 2 is cross section of the keyboard taken along line 2--2 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a top view of a membrane used in the keyboard; and
FIG. 4 is an isometric view of the keyboard in deflated state and partially rolled up according to the invention.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a keyboard 10 comprises a small rigid housing 12 and an inflatable flexible housing 14. A portion of the flexible housing at least partially surrounds a rigid core 13 to form the rigid housing 12. A manually operableactuator 16 for a hand pump 18 extends above the surface of the housing 12, and a release valve 20 is mounted in an end wall 22. An output cable 24 also extends from the housing 12. A pressure chamber 26, pressurized by operation of the hand pump 18,resides in the rigid housing 12 and extends through an opening 28 into the flexible housing 14.
The inflatable flexible housing 14 has a bottom wall 30 and sides walls 32. A flexible key array 34, defining individual key sites, comprises the top wall of the pressure chamber. A flexible circuit 36 in the chamber 26 extends through bothhousings 12 and 14; in the flexible housing it lies between the bottom wall 30 and the key array 34. Conductor traces 38 on the flexible circuit 36 afford a pair of contacts 40 at the site of each key and couples the contacts to an electronic keyboardprocessor chip 42 mounted on the circuit 36 within the rigid housing 12.
The key array 34 includes a key matrix 44 having a plurality of domed pads 46, one at each key site, fastened to a membrane 48 which is coextensive with the key array and also fastened to the flexible circuit 36. Each pad on the key matrix sealsaround its periphery against the membrane to form air cells beneath each pad 46. Legs 50 extend down from the key matrix at each end of each key row and at the juncture of adjacent pads in each row. The legs 50 protrude through slots 52 and 54 in themembrane 48 and the flexible circuit 36, respectively. A ridge 56 in each leg 50 serves as a spacer between the flexible circuit 36 and the membrane 48, and also helps seal the slots 52 to prevent air leakage from the cells. An enlargement 58 on theend of each leg holds the leg against slipping from the slot 54 in the flexible circuit 36.
The membrane 48, as shown in FIG. 3, has a valve opening 60 at each key site as well as the slots 52. The flexible circuit 36 has a passage 62 aligned with each valve opening 60 to admit air to the space between the membrane and the flexiblecircuit as well as to the air cells within the domed pads via the openings 60 to inflate the air cells when the keyboard is inflated. Flap valves 64 on the upper surface of the membrane 48 cover the valve openings 60 to impede free escape of air fromthe air cells, but a small bleed hole 66 in each flap valve permits slow air escape. When the keyboard is deflated by opening the release valve 20, and the flexible housing is folded or rolled, the air is forced out of the air cells and bleeds throughthe holes 66 to deflate the domed pads 46, as shown in FIG. 4. The bottom surface of the membrane carries a conductive foil coupon 68 at each key site in registry with and normally spaced from each pair of contacts 40.
In operation, the keyboard is inflated by operating the hand pump actuator 16. As pressure builds in the chamber 26, each valve 64 opens to freely admit air to the air cells beneath the domed pads 46. When a pad of the keyboard is tapped toenter a digit or character as indicated by the arrow in FIG. 2, the pad is slightly depressed, increasing the pressure in the air cell and causing the membrane beneath the pad to bulge down against the flexible circuit. The conductive coupon 68 thenbridges the corresponding pair of contacts 40 to signal the key operation to the circuit 42. The brief pad depression does not cause significant loss of air through the bleed hole 66; even if significant amount of air is lost, causing a pressure deficitwhen the pad is released, the flap valve will open to quickly equalize the pressure of the air cell with that of the pressure chamber 26.
It will thus be seen that the inflatable keyboard can be stored in a small spaced and inflated to a large size and operated by typing on the keys in the normal manner, thus allowing rapid data entry. The keyboard can be deflated to its previoussmall size by opening the release valve and folding or rolling the flexible portion.
