So am I. As a cautionary tale, I don't know if my solution will work with a pre-installed OS, as the computer OEMs only provide a re-install disk, not the full-up software. Should work with original upgrade disk though.
Thanks to everyone for their comments.

"Since the long-term corporate outlook changes only infrequently, dividend patterns should change no more often.

If earnings have been unwisely retained, it is likely that managers, too, have been unwisely retained." – Warren Buffett

As I sat in my garden and looked all around
and took it all in, such beauty I found.
I sat there contented with the birds and the bees
the sun on my face and a warm, gentle breeze.
I noticed the small things that bring me such peace
the scent of the flowers and the songs that repeat.
The wonder of creation and all God has made
the life that surrounds me and all that He gave.
The expanse of the sky that takes me away
as if I'm in flight, given wings as I lay
All of my burdens, beginning to fade
and then disappear, heavy heart turns to praise.
Everything that has breath breathes out a refrain
a chorus, thanksgiving, for the joy of the day.
For the truth that has come and fills all the earth
not hidden from us but before our eyes has been birthed.
Day after day, in all, He would speak
the night reveals knowledge, God's wisdom, runs deep.
His glory is declared, I see the works of His hands
His Word is far reaching, I love His commands.
Even as I sit in this place and I seek
He instructs me in His ways and helps me to keep
On the path He has placed me, turning aside
from all that is empty, my life is revived.
He gives His own double honor, the Lord calls them blessed
God's covenant, our promise, in truth to direct.
So that the radiant light of God's Son will reflect
in the hearts of His servants, mighty oaks to erect.
Offering hope to the broken and comfort to those who mourn
rebuilding old ruins, with His jewels to adorn.
God's Kingdom is established as each garden would grow
His righteousness and praise to all nations to flow.
Scripture Meditation:
Psalm 118:24 - This is the day the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 150:6 - Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD!
Psalm 19:1-6 - The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork. Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night reveals knowledge. There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard. Their line has gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun, which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoices like a strong man to run its race. Its rising is from one end of heaven, and its circuit to the other end; and there is nothing hidden from its heat.
Psalm 119:33-37 - Teach me, O LORD, the way of Your statutes, and I shall keep it to the end. Give me understanding, and I shall keep Your law; indeed, I shall observe it with my whole heart. Make me walk in the path of Your commandments, for I delight in it. Incline my heart to Your testimonies, and not to covetousness. Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, and revive me in Your way.
Isaiah 61:1-11 - "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, because the LORD has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn, to console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified." And they shall rebuild the old ruins, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the ruined cities, the desolations of many generations. Strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the foreigner shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers. But you shall be named the priests of the LORD, they shall call you the servants of our God. You shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory you shall boast. Instead of your shame you shall have double honor, and instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they shall possess double; everlasting joy shall be theirs. " For I, the LORD, love justice; I hate robbery for burnt offering; I will direct their work in truth, and will make with them an everlasting covenant. Their descendants shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people. All who see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the posterity whom the LORD has blessed." I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, My soul shall be joyful in my God; for He has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. For as the earth brings forth its bud, as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth, so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

What they say: Light in texture, but big in colour, Lancômes Rouge in Love promises to last for up to six hours. With twenty-four shades, there a hue for every mood from this season's bright tones (think Prada and Giles spring/summer 13) to the more natural nudes for those who want to tap into the Sixties look.
What we say: With the weather playing havoc on our skin, were embracing spring with our make-up. Cue Lancômes Rouge in Love lipstick in bright pink (shade 159B). What we love about this particular shade and formula is that the colour fades evenly, simply dulling slightly without leaving a bright lined lip and a faded centre.
Usability: Unlike some lipsticks, the balmy texture of Rouge in Love means it doesnt drag across the lips or sit in the lines and cracks. Instead, it gives an instant pop of bright pink with a subtle shine that survives eating and drinking.
Results: While the shine does disappear, the colour remains in place for hours without drying lips out. Usually we top our lipstick up three to four times a day in between meetings and after lunch, but with this lipstick its been once, possibly twice (depending on how many cups of tea).
Insider tip: Rumour has it that this is in fact Lancômes ambassador, Emma Watsons favourite shade.

New Delhi (IANS) India on Thursday invited the UAE to participate in the Rs.20,000 crore National Investment and Infrastructure Fund (NIIF) in order to give a push to infrastructure projects in India and also urged the Gulf country to take advantage of "present business friendly environment" to make the partnership stronger.
External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, addressing the 11th India-UAE Joint Commission Meeting here, saod that Finance Minister Arun Jaitley is scheduled to visit UAE for a bilateral meeting and Commerce Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is also headed to that country for the 3rd High Level Task Force on Investment.
Addressing the meeting, which was attended by UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Minister of State Reem Ebrahim Al Hashimy, she said that during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the country on August 16-17 both sides had agreed to increase bilateral trade by 60 percent during the next five years.
"I am sure that the identification of new areas of trade and the signature of the Double Taxation avoidance agreement and the Bilateral Investment Protection and Promotion Agreement, will help us in achieving this goal."
The government's 'Make in India' initiative offers scope for UAE investors in around 25 sectors including infrastructure, energy including renewable energy, defence, railways and highways, she noted.
She said during Modi's visit it was decided that investment agencies in the UAE would be encouraged to make investments in infrastructure in India.
"We have recently announced the National Infrastructure Investment Fund and we sincerely hope that Abu Dhabi Investment Authority can look at investments of 10-20 percent of equity. The Fund is envisaged to be a commercial body which would be operated in a commercial manner. This would also give the UAE companies an edge when specific projects are announced," she said.
Sushma Swaraj said both countries have emerged as "strong voices against terrorism. The rejection of extremism and any link between religion and terrorism articulated by the two sides in the joint statement issued during Prime Minister Modi's visit to UAE has found resonance across the international community".
"Our two countries have rightly denounced and opposed terrorism in all forms and manifestations and called all states to reject and abandon the use of terrorism against other countries. We should work together for the early adoption of India's proposed Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism at the United Nations," she said.
She said the UAE is a second home, away from home in India, to over 2.6 million Indians. She thanked the leadership of United Arab Emirates "for their vision and far-sighted policies. The Indian community in United Arab Emirates is vibrant and has also played a significant role in nurturing and further strengthening the friendly relations between the two countries".
With regard to consular issues Sushma requested the UAE side to timely share with India information about arrest or detention of any Indian national or of Indian nationals already in UAE jails. "It would help us in taking necessary action and providing them consular services. I also hope that the educational needs of the Indian children would be given continued attention by the UAE leadership as has been done over the last many decades," she said.

Opel Mokka X: 'The biggest advance of voice control is the safety it affords us at the wheel'
Mokka X's voice command impresses
I overtook the Hyundai on the motorway near Enfield at about 110kmph. The driver had his head down, one hand on the wheel. He was totally engrossed in talking down to a phone in his other hand, which rested on his right thigh. I happened to be on the phone, too. Only I had both hands on the wheel and was aware of what was going on around me.
I'm using the little episode to make a point, not show off. The point is: there is absolutely no excuse nowadays (there never was, really) for texting or talking on the phone at the wheel. The technology has been there for a long time, we know, but increasingly now you don't even have to shift a hand from the wheel to make a call. You can, with your thumb or finger, press a little button on the wheel and tell the system who you want to talk to (as well as other things such as setting a route, picking your favourite songs, etc).
'Voice control' or 'command' is not new by any means, but I'm highlighting it this week because several systems have improved so much lately.
The one (IntelliLink) in this week's test car, the revised Opel Mokka X, is as good as I've come across in its price bracket (see panel). For the phone, that is. It's not as good as the Ford SYNC 3 system on navigation or giving you a list of nearby places to eat. Nonetheless, the important thing for now is the utter simplicity of calling someone safely and non-distractedly by just saying 'phone' and adding the person's name.
I've given it a great try-out. I started with the simple, distinct names and quickly progressed to the complicated ones. I picked a few that had previous systems doing loop-the-loops, offering to dredge names from the altar list of the dead or others who, if they answered, would need a two-minute debriefing to remember me. The real test came with the double-barrelled moniker, complete with brackets, of a great friend. "Howya Ed," came the reply within a few seconds of me approving the call be made. Convincing evidence that Opel has cracked it. If it works for me...
All of this underlines why, with Bluetooth, hands-free and voice control, none of us - absolutely none - has any excuse for putting lives at risk by daring to phone-and-drive in a modern car. Okay?
It was good to be able to concentrate on such matters because they're central to wider revisions of the Mokka. For a start (I understand the motive but smirk at the outcome), Opel is now calling it the Mokka 'X', with the added letter proclaiming its refreshed presence among the crossover ranks.
Big deal, you might think, but trust me, in the crazy world of SUV/crossover mania manufacturers need every help they can muster to make sure they are seen and heard among the pack.
Opel has also beefed the Mokka X up a bit to look more, well, more 'crossover'. And with all-wheel-drive, it can claim 'SUV' status (most options are front-wheel-drive). God be with the days when a SUV looked like a tank on tyres; when petrol engines guzzled gas and diesels throbbed like an all-night disco.
Opel has overhauled the inside a bit, too. It was in need of a lick of modernity. Importantly, they have improved the way the instruments display, and use, information on the seven-inch colour touchscreen. Opel got it right. You press a button (or tell it what to do) and you get a result.
Different bits of the IntelliLink infotainment system come in at certain trim levels so check what you are getting. The version I had included phone integration - via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. And you can have Opel's Onstar 24/7 system. This links you to a helper who, among other things, can call emergency services. The other benefit is it makes the car a Wi-Fi 'hotspot on the move'. Just check what comes with what trim/price.
There is nothing madly exciting to report in terms of drive. I had the 1.6-litre diesel (136bhp, 6spd manual) with all-wheel drive. But I can't say the car is designed to do anything other than be smarter to look at, offer reasonable room (not more), and conduct itself predictably.
It is not a head-turner like the love-or-hate Nissan Juke; or as smart looking as the Renault Captur. Neither is the handling/ride class-leading by any means. It's reasonably comfortable and roomy, no more, and a fair-sized boot.
Above all, though, it has that interactive infotainment system that does what it is told. It is a reminder that, while designers and engineers scramble to outdo each other, the real revolution - in on-board technology - is transforming how our cars can serve us. And with voice control, the biggest advance is the safety it affords us at the wheel and on the phone.

Obfuscation: A User's Guide for Privacy and Protest (Paperback)
--Gena's pick
How do we maintain our privacy and still engage in our highly digital age? Here is a user's guide for the average person protesting the war on our privacy.— From Gena
With Obfuscation, Finn Brunton and Helen Nissenbaum mean to start a revolution. They are calling us not to the barricades but to our computers, offering us ways to fight today's pervasive digital surveillance -- the collection of our data by governments, corporations, advertisers, and hackers. To the toolkit of privacy protecting techniques and projects, they propose adding obfuscation: the deliberate use of ambiguous, confusing, or misleading information to interfere with surveillance and data collection projects. Brunton and Nissenbaum provide tools and a rationale for evasion, noncompliance, refusal, even sabotage -- especially for average users, those of us not in a position to opt out or exert control over data about ourselves. Obfuscation will teach users to push back, software developers to keep their user data safe, and policy makers to gather data without misusing it.
Brunton and Nissenbaum present a guide to the forms and formats that obfuscation has taken and explain how to craft its implementation to suit the goal and the adversary. They describe a series of historical and contemporary examples, including radar chaff deployed by World War II pilots, Twitter bots that hobbled the social media strategy of popular protest movements, and software that can camouflage users' search queries and stymie online advertising. They go on to consider obfuscation in more general terms, discussing why obfuscation is necessary, whether it is justified, how it works, and how it can be integrated with other privacy practices and technologies.

Finn Brunton is Assistant Professor of Media, Culture, and Communication at New York University and the author of Spam: A Shadow History of the Internet (MIT Press.

Nice screen! Train seems really short on the lift, but that can't be helped.
The foliage is not the best though in my opinion, as it looks like a big mess. Especially in an area such as this I think that it should look a lot more manicured - ie gradually becoming more sparse the further from the trees. At the moment it just ends, and the thick foliage extends too far out for me.
RCT2day Offline
Now that's a good screen. The lift hill supports look great.
Wouter VL OfflineVery nice! I would also say to improve your foliage. There should be way less around the supports and it shouldn't just stretch out in one way like that. Have you ever seen a natural-grown forest with only one row of perfectly spaced trees? No.
If you'd still want to keep a row of trees, i'd recommend a less hectic looking tree, and leave more space inbetween. There also shouldn't be enormeously much foliage then either.

Your support work is great.
I'd kill that bunny hop though. The track rises and falls slightly for no reason (because Arrow...) but it's slight and shouldn't be that pronounced. I'd just keep it flat.
EDIT: PLEASE put Fisherman's chaser lights all the way up the lift. That would really make this feel like Magnum. I believe they're only on the side with the catwalk.

This is good. I like the bunny hop a lot actually.

I agree with Faas regarding the bunny hop. Recreations are always tough to judge because they must be accurate but at the same time visually appealing within the game.
In this case I think that the bunny hop looks better then a long stretch of flat track- thus I'd say if you're on the fence keep it!
Coasterbill Offline
Remember though that while it looks like it makes sense here it's after the brake run. Magnum is weird because it has a final brake run parallel to the lift, then it meanders around really slowly and has another brake run that you see here. So that bunny hill will be taken at a ridiculously slow speed after the final brake run that brings the train to a complete stop in the event of a 3 train stack (with a screeching, amazingly abrupt and painful stop that's thankfully really rare.

I've been on this ride so many times, hopefully your recreation brings back those memories!

I agree with bill Coasterbill regarding the bunny hop. If anything I feel like it goes down then up through there, not the other way, but regardless of the exact motion it had better be crawling. I think keeping it level looks awkward, but that's fitting, since that section of track is kinda awkward. Because Arrow.
I really like everything else in the screen though. I can't actually remember what Magnum's switch-track looks like, but that at least looks functional and appealing regardless of accuracy. The lift supports are quite impressive. Bravo!

for some reason, the boards disable linking to a certain time in the vid. but go to like 2:15, really don't think it justifies that big of a hill in RCT
Wanted to get a cool shot with peeps, maybe it will add some life since as I seem to struggle adding it myself. For some reason had a really hard time deciding how to crop this screen, hopefully this is the best one.
BTW: I am going to keep the tunnels, they are unique and honestly I love them, kind of always how I pictured the tunnels looking in RCT for the last 10 years.

I worked at MAP Pharmaceuticals (More than 3 years)
I learned a lot and now I'm an accountant
the company got merge with another company
I worked at MAP Pharmaceuticals full-time (More than a year)
Prior to the Allergan acquisition, the company's greatest assets were the employees from the bottom to the top. Worked at MAP and cannot think of any bad about the company. Although much has changed since the acquistion. Heard of a second round of lay-offs within the past month by Allergan.
The CMC issues continue at MAP's contract manufacturing organization as detailed in Allergan's complete disclosure letter which is delaying one of the best Acute Migraine therapeutics from reaching patients throughout the U.S.
I worked at MAP Pharmaceuticals full-time (More than a year)
Great product and the opportunity to make a major improvement in medical care
Top executives create a working hell. Changing direction every week and thinking you are the smartest person in the room is not the way to lead. Listen to your team. Because the management team thought they were so smart - the company has failed to get FDA approval twice and will suffer through a total of 2 years of unnecessary delays.
Advice to Management
Replace the CEO
A lot of interesting projects. Have the opportunity to expose to different field and work in interdisciplinary teams.
Generally a lot of pressure with very tight, and sometimes unrealistic timeline; not sufficient project planning which could eventually delay the projects.
Advice to Management
To have realistic expectation of the projects.
I worked at MAP Pharmaceuticals full-time (More than a year)
- Some really nice people who cared and gave all they had, but it was never truly appreciated.
- A few gold nuggets in management, but they were handcuffed by the culture.
- Everyone was afraid to voice an opinion, lest there be reprisals.
- Hours and workload utterly unsustainable for any length of time, but no one ever expected less; only more. Just unreasonable. Such a shame.
Advice to Management
Understand that there must be a work/life balance, and all people, even those who are quietly suffering (especially those, actually), require and deserve respect. Sometimes it seemed that the employees cared more than management.
I have been working at MAP Pharmaceuticals full-time (More than a year)
It's a job… for now.
Where shall I start?
• Many are territorial especially those employees who have been with the company in a while and are creating and contributing to the mess in this company.
• Many are rude, tactless, insensitive, combative, and insensitive. Management and HR are aware of these employees (complaints have been noted) but these are the type of people they like since nothing is done to improve their behaviors. These employees use fear, intimidation, and animosity to subdue others.
• Lack of collaboration. Every person for himself/herself or every "cult" of friends for themselves. There is low sense of unity or camaraderie unless you are a member of the individual cults formed around here. The key criterion for decision-making seems to be "What is in it for me?"
• Many of the employees lack the experience as seen in going overboard on things that don't matter and not addressing those that really matter.
• Many are clueless. Consultants are constantly brought in to solve problems.
• Many employees are overworked and overextended. Not due to needs to be done but the approach taken or implemented by those with authority or have influence with those of authority are the long way, redundant way, reactive way, and the only way they know.
• Good people are working only for the sake of working.
• Listens only to those close to them.
• No idea of what they want.
• No clue of the company's culture.
• No conscious role modeling, teaching, and coaching.
• Overlooks the quality of the interactions between the company employees and the interactions between employees and outside partners or CMOs.
• Mid-level managers seem to thrive on micromanaging their employees.
• Shows employee favoritism.
Type of Culture clues:
• One of the key barometers of a company's culture and management is employee turnover. Employees are leaving in droves. Only employees with strong ties to management are staying. These are the ones who are getting promoted too.
• The company is bringing new people in, bringing people in fast. This is constantly disrupting performance. There is no evaluation being conducted why there is an employee revolving door.
• Too much talk. Plans are heavy on talk but light on action. In a political corporate culture, image management becomes far more important than actions.
• Meetings, meetings everywhere!
• Projects are constantly going in circles.
• Morale deterioration for those that are here hoping to work and make a difference. Muted level of commitment and enthusiasm by the better employees.

Advice to Management
Like so many others who have posted here, the craziness of MAP is even more clear to me now that I'm away. It's a very unpleasant place, with many dedicated but unhappy workers. I've heard the same frustrations voice over and over again across departments and levels of organization regarding unrealistic expectations, an obsession with fault-finding and blame, a lack of understanding when high-risk decisions lead to problems, and a real failure to appreciate the good and hard work people do. Management occasionally takes a few minutes to thank everyone for their hard work, but that doesn't mean the approach to poor planning, poor resourcing, and unrealistic timelines ever changes. I've heard so many people say, "No matter what I do, it will never be enough here." The high rate of attrition also makes it hard to do the job right in such a small company--resources become further constrained and with each departure, more history and seasoned experience is lost. I would give this advice to the "leaders" of MAP:
Think ahead, and don't assume that you can bully teams into producing quality work in any timeline you choose, especially when you keep changing team goals and directions. Decisions need to be made in appropriate time frames for people to stay on schedule. Give your teams clear communication on where and how to focus, and stick to it--you actually can't have everything, and if you want more, you must staff more. Stop reactionary, punitive management--your teams are great, they just need clear and reasonable missions. HEAR what people are telling you, and believe it--you can push and seem to get your way, but there will be (and have been) repercussions in your staff and in your schedule. Stop wasting people's time with workplan templates, especially when project plans already exist. Back off and let senior management do their jobs without your constant involvement. We are competent professionals, not puppets.

CFO and BD and Clinical are good departments. But they just can't be good enough to make up for the systemic problems with MAP.
It was by long way the worse place I ever worked. Now I am working in a respectful company again. You do not fully realize how unhappy you were at MAP until you leave. The main issue with MAP is with respect and with fairness. Unfortunately I understood why the other comments on this site about MAP were very negative. However, the CFO and head of Business Development are extremely talented, charisma, good mannered polite men who deserve their success. These guys are very high quality and are destined for better things. However the CEO and the executives who run the actual projects have the most influence on the company and morale but they don't have quite the same personal style or skills as the CFO and BD guy. I would strongly recommend you don't consider MAP as a place to work. But if you have no choice then brace yourself and be prepared to work in a very unique and challenging place. It is very sad that working there does affect your overall happiness. But at least go into the interview of course very positive to be expecting to hear good things– and ask these 20 questions.
1. Is MAP a GREAT place to work?
2. I assume MAP is not one of those unhappy companies where many people quietly discuss with each other they would love to leave if other jobs are becoming available. Correct?
3. I assume how people are treated at MAP (by the CEO and executives who run the projects ) is how you would like to think your mother, sister or son is being treated every day in their workplace. Correct?
4. What do you guess the executives think they are doing to retain, respect and motivate people
5. What do the staff think that the executives are doing to retain, respect and motivate the staff
6. How realistic are the timelines set by the CEO and executives who run the projects? E.g. I have heard of other companies that sometimes set timelines that everybody knows are impossible – and then unnecessary serious compromises are made on other deliverables so they will be ready just in time for the big impossible event. I assume this is not an issue at MAP. Correct?
7. How realistic is the workloads they give people
8. How flexible is the CEO and executives who run the projects on reprioritizing and resetting goals when priorities change
9. When companies worship goals (just because they are goals) and hate changing them – it often makes people keep working on a goal even when it's become the wrong thing to do. I assume this is not an issue at MAP. Correct?
10. How effective is the communication between the executives themselves – and then down to the rest of the company
11. How experienced in the right expertise is the CEO and executives who run the projects – does the staff trust them and respect their judgment and decision making
12. I assume at MAP like all great places to work there is no blame culture and the staff are comfortable breaking bad news to the CEO and executives who run the projects. Correct?
13. I assume at MAP like all great places to work the management style of the CEO and executives who run the projects is respectful teamworking and supporting the staff when things go good or bad– and not a severe style with hostility and blame. Correct?
14. I assume at MAP like all great places to work the CEO and executives who run the projects are not prone to shouting, bullying, insulting and hostility to the staff. Correct?
15. I assume the different departments are treated equally - and the staff see MAP is a fair, respectful place to work. Correct?
16. I assume at MAP like all great places to work, the HR offices is mostly quiet with no management complaints to deal with because MAP is a harmonious respectful place to work that is run so fairly, respectfully and rationally. Correct?
17. I assume the CEO is working at the right level and does not micromanage. Correct? (e.g. I've heard of CEOs at other companies who spend time going into deep details like individual line items on junior workers workplans, or detailed research on flight deals, one at a time, just to save $100 on individual flights by adding exhausting stop-overs etc and other similar trivial things etc). I assume this is not an issue at MAP. Correct?
18. I assume like all great companies the CEO sets a good example at the top for fairness, honesty and respect (i.e. treats all staff as team members on the same team and not insulting and hostile like enemies when discussing things like budget planning or workplans etc). I assume this positive role model style filters down through the VPs to create the great company culture. Correct?
19. Some companies tell their workers that they have power to influence and build the company culture. But this not always possible if the CEO and executives at some companies have a very strong, overpowering and severe style. I assume this is not an issue at MAP. Correct?
20. Finally, can you summarize for me with examples the positive impact on the company culture from the CEO and executives that everybody can see.
Advice to Management
the culture is already fixed with very strong personalities at the top with a very harsh style, it is their natural style so it would probably need a new management team to come in and shake things up to make the culture more inline with other modern companies

Very few pros; however, most of the people at the mid to lower levels are great and the product is a good idea but very poorly managed. I'd say Saturday and Sunday are the best part of his job, if you can manage to avoid working weekends.
If I could give this company a zero on the rating system, I would. The dysfunction is nearly indescribable. Senior Management is made up of unprofessional newbie executives who rule as a fascist dictatorship using fear, intimidation, favoritism and nasty politics. They are unethical, dishonest, and without class or honor. Which would all be bad enough, but they also disregard the basics of drug development and have few company standards, methods, and processes. Their inexperience engenders distrust and micro-management on a epic level that is impossible to deal with on top of actually getting the work done. Consultants and experienced people are ignored allowing the strongest personality to win by forcing their opinion using endless meetings as weapons. There is zero project management which results in a lack of foresight and long-term, enterprise planning that is appalling. Project deadlines are set at the whim of the management and then enforced with no option for adjustment despite logistical issues, major research setbacks, and serious quality problems. If they weren't so mean-spirited and small-minded they might actually be pathetic.
Advice to Management
Management needs to stop expecting things to be done right away to meet arbitrary, often disconnected time lines and instead focus on ensuring things are done correctly, with thoughtful planning and adequate review. They need to stop putting their personal gain (cash bonuses and stock awards) ahead of the good of the company, the product, and the employees who they expect to work endlessly to help them make even more money. "Rewarding" employees with a $10 gift card just doesn't cut it when executives are receiving thousands of shares of stock. They need to improve benefits (try 401K matching for a start) and stop blatantly lying, stabbing people in the back at meetings, and withholding bonuses as punishment. They need to stop being petty tyrants and start being good people. This is probably too much to ask considering their personalities, so the only way to fix this company is to get a new senior management team.

NEW DELHI: India's Supreme Court Wednesday rejecting appeal upheld the death sentence of the lone surviving gunman Ajmal Kasab from the 2008 Mumbai attacks, Geo News reported.
Mohammed Kasab, one of 10 gunmen who laid siege to Mumbai in attacks that lasted nearly three days and killed 166 people, launched his appeal claiming he had not been given a fair trial. He was found guilty of charges including waging war against India, murder and terrorist acts, and was given the death penalty in May 2010.
Two Supreme Court judges in New Delhi have heard the appeal of Pakistan-born Kasab, who is currently held in a maximum-security prison in Mumbai. If he loses his Supreme Court petition, he can lodge a final appeal for clemency with the president.
During the November 2008 attacks, heavily armed gunmen stormed targets in Mumbai including luxury hotels, a Jewish centre, a hospital and a bustling train station.
Kasab initially pleaded not guilty but later confessed, admitting he was one of the gunmen sent by the LeT. "I was denied a fair trial," Kasab said in a statement when his appeal hearing began in January. "I may be guilty of killing people and carrying out a terrorist act but I am not guilty of waging war against the state."

Hey everyone!
Here you go, the second post and I should say it's a really hard work and double pleasure! But first things first and pardon my english, I'm still learning.
My name is Oxana. I came from Russia to New York about 2 years ago and now live in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. My dream is to study in a pastry school, but the biggest dream is to have my own cafe or patisserie to have a chance to give people a little bit of happiness=)
I start this blog because I love to cook and bake. And I believe there are so many interesting, beautiful, exotic and outstanding recipes that we should try and share with each other. Just imagine: different cuisines and different textures, flavors, traditions… Ah!
It's definitely a deep feeling for me: the feeling when I cook. It's like nobody else here: only me and my kitchen. My best friend is a whisk, my fellows are knives and apron is my truly helper. And… Let the show begin! I scale, I whisk, I cut, I mix. Heat on! I feel myself happy and free, thinking about nothing but the process. Oh… What time is it btw? Pan is ready! Roast it, stir it and… My Gosh! Do you feel this incredible smell? Unbelievable! It's gettin' hot in here. A real high heat kitchen! Turn off the heat and that's it. Done!
So yes, I'm passionate for cooking. But what is making me really crazy: is baking. Cakes, cookies, macarons, ganaches, creams, chocolate etc. It's like a poetry for me. And every recipe is a poem. That's why I start this blog. It's my way to say "I love cooking".
But I digress a little bit. To be honest, it's not my first food-blog. I've already got one but it's all in russian. Except recipes =) I mean as a food-lover I've cooked a lot of different cuisines and dishes. That's gave me some skills and techniques. You can always check my old blog here: noxrp.livejournal.com. I've started it 2 years ago in December 2012 and finished it in January 2014. It took time for me to start a new one. But finally, I did it!
Now about the topic. What is zephyr? Shortly, it's a russian sweet goods. I don't know where it exactly came from but Wiki says something about ancient Greece and greek God names Zephyr or Zephyrus. He was commanded of west wind and that's is why the sweets looks like a little cloud.
But back to the present, what is zephyr? It is made from apple puree, sugar, agar-agar and egg whites. Agar-agar calls for stability and it helps to hold a strong shape. Agar-agar is a plant-based stabilizer obtain from algae (type of seaweeds).
Also it's a vegetarian substitute for gelatin. Zephyr also called marshmallow but it's wrong, because it does not contain a gelatin but egg whites. And the taste is so much different. Zephyr is soft and fluffy but also a little gummy. It's has a tender taste and a light pleasant flavor. Also it looks very pretty! Like a little cloud in your hand=)
Shall we start?
You will need: kitchen thermometer and a kitchen scale.
150 gr apple puree (about 2 medium apples, I used "Golden delicious")
100 gr blackberry puree (about 150 gr of fresh blackberries)
250 gr sugar
1 egg white (use large egg)
475 gr sugar
8 gr agar-agar
160 gr water (at room temperature)
Before you start cut 3-4 parchment paper sheets and set aside. You can bake apples in the oven or steam it using multi cooker. Cook for about 20 minutes.
Cut apples by half and remove seeds. Put it on a plate cut-side down. Cook in microwave about 2-3 minutes or until very soft. Let it to cool down then peel it off, make puree in cooking blender.
Rinse out blackberries and mash it separately. For a seedless puree, sieve it using fine-mesh sieve. Press the mash with a table spoon.
In a mixer bowl combine apple and blackberry puree, then add sugar (250 gr). Stir for a while and cool it for 3-5 minutes.
Add the half of egg whites into the puree. Set mixer to medium speed and whip until soft and pale. Add the remaining egg whites, increase the speed to high and whip until stiff form, about 7 minutes.
Make the syrup while whipping.

Lovely location, on a quiet road, with sheep and cattle farms up the road. The beds were comfortable. If you are planning on doing a lot of cooking, as we did, I recommend bringing some of your own kitchen utensils, such as beater and pan etc. Dishwasher not operating. Neighbours friendly and welcoming. Description should state toilet paper not provided.

"You're born into this life paying, for the sins of somebody else's past." Bruce Springsteen
Hattie's caveat that he does not address socio-economic issues has come under some criticism. Emeritus Professor Ivan Snook, et al, "... social class background is indeed more important than many of the issues discussed in this book and hence policy decisions cannot be drawn in isolation from the background variables of class, poverty, health" (p2).
Snook et al, also make the point that the impression the book gives is that socio-economic background is unimportant and warns that this can be "appropriated by political and ideological interests and used in ways in which the data do not substantiate" (p1).
This, of course, was denied by Hattie. However, that prediction has come to pass, in Australia, with the Federal government blocking a redress of socio-economic imbalance in education using Hattie's work as justification.
Similar events have occurred in New Zealand, prompting Professor John O'Neill's AMAZING letter to the NZ Minister of Education on the problem of using Hattie's research for class size policy.
Dr Zyngier links class size and socio-economic imbalance: "The class size debate should now focus on weighing up the cost-benefit of class size reductions. Australian public education needs a more nuanced funding program that recognises where schools that are well-resourced already do not necessarily need the lower class sizes that disadvantaged schools require. Schools that are performing at the lower end of standardised tests such as NAPLAN, and where reducing class sizes is most needed, should be first to receive additional support. The Gonski Review's conclusion that more funds should go to schools that need it most supports this concept" (p18).
PISA:The PISA analysis consistently identifies socio-economic imbalance as a major issue for Countries to address, for example, from PISA 2012 Results in Focus:
"Across OECD countries, a more socio-economically advantaged student scores 39 points higher in mathematics – the equivalent of nearly one year of schooling – than a less-advantaged student" (p12).
"Across most countries and economies, socio-economically disadvantaged students not only score lower in mathematics, they also reported lower levels of engagement, drive, motivation, and self-beliefs" (p18).
From PISA results 2012: Excellence through Equity:
"Better schools for disadvantaged students can help reduce socio-economic disparities in performance; but countries also need to consider other policies that affect families, such as those to reduce poverty, malnutrition, and inadequate housing, those to improve parents' education, and other social policies that can also improve student learning" (p44).
"More than half of the performance differences observed across students in different schools can be accounted for by socio-economic disparities across students and schools, on average across OECD countries" (p46).
From PISA 2003 Learning for Tomorrows World – First results from PISA 2003:
"home background remains one of the most powerful factors influencing performance" (p165).
A report just released "Uneven Playing Feild - The State of Australia's Schools" by two ex-principals - Chris Bonnor and Bernie Shepherd show the growing divide between the most advantaged versus disadvantaged students.
The Coleman Report (USA):The Coleman Report is widely considered the most important education study of the 20th century.
"Using data from over 600,000 students and teachers across the country, the researchers found that academic achievement was less related to the quality of a student's school and more related to the social composition of the school, the student's sense of control of his environment and future, the verbal skills of teachers, and the student's family background."

Sightsee the Bavarian way, with litres of beer. The largest city in Germany, with a massive population of about 623,738 in the city alone, has a rich wealth of history to its name – which you simply can't miss out on, when visiting the vibrant city.
Forget boring old sightseeing tours, following someone holding an umbrella and speaking way too quietly. This is sightbeering: the only way to combine urban exploration and beer. Your English speaking guide will show you some of the most beautiful sights of Stuttgart, which could include the Marcedes-Benz Museum, Solitude Castle, Schlossplatz and Wilhelma zoo and botanical gardens, as well as a pit stop in two bars along the way.
It can be tricky to strike the balance between exploring the new and exciting city, and getting on with the equally important stag do business of drinking beer. This way you can find a happy middle ground and kill two birds with one stone. And anyway, beer is part of Germany's cultural heritage. You're just doing your research.

This is book 1 in the Duty, Honor, Country Trilogy.
They swore oaths, both personal and professional. They were fighting for country, for a way of life and for family. Classmates carried more than rifles and sabers into battle. They had friendships, memories, children and wives. They had innocence lost, promises broken and glory found.
Duty, Honor, Country is history told both epic and personal so we can understand what happened, but more importantly feel the heart-wrenching clash of duty, honor, country and loyalty. And realize that sometimes, the people who changed history, weren't recorded by it. In the vein of HBO's Rome miniseries, two fictional characters, Rumble and Cord are standing at many of the major crossroads of our history.
Our story starts in 1840, in Benny Havens tavern, just outside post limits of the United States Military Academy. With William Tecumseh Sherman, Rumble, Cord, and Benny Havens' daughter coming together in a crucible of honor and loyalty. And on post, in the West Point stables, where Ulysses S. Grant and a classmate are preparing to saddle the Hell-Beast, a horse with which Grant would eventually set an academy record, and both make fateful decisions that will change the course of their lives and history.
We follow these men forward to the eve of the Mexican War, tracing their steps at West Point and ranging to a plantation at Natchez on the Mississippi, Major Lee at Arlington, and Charleston, SC. We travel aboard the USS Somers and the US Navy mutiny that led to the founding of the Naval Academy at Annapolis.
We end with Grant and company in New Orleans, preparing to sale to Mexico and war, and Kit Carson and Fremont at Pilot Peak in Utah during his great expedition west.
"A treat for military fiction readers." (
"Mayer has established himself as one of today's better military writers. A background in the Infantry, West Point and Special Operations gives him credibility and understanding from having been there and done that." (Airpower Journal)

Picture: Prince William; Duke of Cambridge; Catherine; Duchess of Cambridge; Kate Middleton Members of the royal family depart Buckingham Palace after the royal household Christmas party....
Prince William and his pregnant wife Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge have jetted off on a relaxing vacation to celebrate their last break as a couple before impending parenthood kicks in.
The 31 year old has been suffering with extreme morning sickness since December (12), when she cancelled a number of public engagements after being hospitalised in London for several days.
And now the British royals, who are expecting their first child in July (13), have treated themselves to an island vacation in Mustique with the Duchess' mum and dad, Carole and Michael Middleton.
The party is reportedly staying at a luxury villa, which has an infinity pool, private terrace, game room and a $30,000-a-week (Gbp18,750-a-week) price tag.
A source tells The Sun, "The Duke and Duchess have joined the Middletons for a winter break. Both William and Kate were hoping her condition would not stop her from making the eight-hour flight to Barbados and the connection to Mustique. A month ago such a journey would have been unthinkable for her, so this is a clear sign she has made a virtual recovery."

The Investment Association is formally backing the development of a UK municipal bond market to facilitate infrastructure spending plans outlined by Chancellor Philip Hammond today in his first Autumn Statement.
Municipal bond markets already exist in the US, Europe, Australia and China.
The US market is worth $3.7trn, but the UK has no such market. The IA points out that such bonds would be suitable for a mainstream fixed income portfolio.
It adds that it would give investors with limited knowledge to invest in infrastructure without investing directly.
The UK Municipal Bonds Agency founded in 2014 to provide funding for local councils and is set to issue its first bond before Christmas.
A statement from IA chief executive Chris Cummings says the trade organisation supports Hammond's plans announced today to invest in infrastructure and productivity.
However, Cummings says policymakers need to work with the investment industry to turn the infrastructure policy into "practical solutions".
"That is why we are today giving our formal backing to the development of a UK municipal bond market, which will help local authorities secure much-needed financing to invest in new infrastructure projects and meet their refinancing needs, by launching a position paper outlining our support and the benefits of municipal bonds for investors, borrowers and the wider economy."
Cummings says the organisation already works with its members to advance investment in infrastructure and housing by creating attractive markets for investors.
On measures to boost economic productivity, Cummings says the IA welcomes the Government's review into patient capital.
"Productivity can only occur when long-term investment increases," Cummings says.
The IA is currently producing a Productivity Action Plan and last week published a paper calling for companies to move away from quarterly reporting.
The IA says municipal bonds appeal to risk-averse investors with a cumulative default rate of 0.14 per cent between 1970 and 2014.
They are typically investment grade, long-dated and inflation linked, the IA says.

It's hard to say if the Saints have turned their season around. But it appears that they have at least found the U-turn lane. And they found it in an unlikely place at an unlikely time.
It's not often you can point to a loss, and a fourth straight one at that, as the turning point of this season to date. But in the 28 to 27 loss at Lambeau Field on the last day of September, the Saints found a confidence in defeat that would be reinforced by a pair of subsequent seven-point victories over the Chargers and Bucs.
The way the Saints bounced back from the worst defeat of the season the previous week to the Chiefs at home to lose a very winnable game against one of the best teams in the league -- in one of the league's toughest road venues -- kept Aaron Kromer's message resonating for his team and its fans when both groups could have been on the verge of tuning it out and chalking off the season to "just not our year."
Now Kromer fades into the background after six weeks in the most unprecedented spotlight any head coach in the National Football League has ever had to deal with. It was a spotlight he never sought, never probably ever truly enjoyed, but one you would have to say in which he succeeded.
He never wavered from his "climbing the mountain" analogy. And in that loss to the Packers he finally had some tangible proof that the Saints were getting some traction and gaining a foothold. When he remained positive in his approach and steadfast in his message, his team responded.
But he would probably reject the notion that this is or ever was "his team." While some in the organization might have wished he had been less reluctant to put his stamp on the team and be less deferential to his superiors, Kromer remained the good soldier.
This was, is, and will be again Sean Payton's team. Sean Payton -- the man he worked for and in all likelihood will again.
There is no handbook of instructions for interim-interim coaches. Now, as the only one in the history of the NFL, Aaron Kromer is the only man qualified to write one. But that would require an ego Aaron Kromer doesn't possess. If Gregg Williams were in a similar situation, his tome would probably rival "War and Peace."
Kromer now becomes a footnote in Saints history, a foot soldier who remained steadfastly loyal to his troops and his commander-in-chief. A 2-and-4 career record won't earn him any medals. But it should earn him the acknowledgement of a job well done. He deserves that.
And for Aaron Kromer, that will probably be enough.

New, expecting and on meds
Hi all! My name is Jess and I am 30 weeks pregnant. I've been on Zoloft for 7 weeks now and I'm just maybe starting to see some changes. I started developing Antepartum depression when I was 15 weeks along - but have never been truely happy about my pregnancy. This will be my third child and over this past year our family has been through alot. My son had his second cleft palate repair, and my daughter was hospitalized for two weeks and thought to have Lymphoma which later turned out to be Kawasaki Disease. Yes, my kids are ok now - but I think these events scared me so badly that when I found out I was pregnant a few months later I couldn't enjoy the news and haven't been able to.
Since being on meds I notice I'm able to tolerate thins alittle better - however, I have struggled with insomnia since the meds - I get an average 4 hrs of sleep at night, and my anxiety is worse. My OB last week talked about prescribing something additional for anxiety but I'm
Nervous about taking meds already. Can anyone relate? Have any advice??
Re: New, expecting and on meds
4 hours of sleep at night when 30 weeks along is kind of "normal". I know at the ned of my pregnancy I was getting hardly any sleep and I'm still not getting much now that the baby is here.
I have anxiety anyway and am on Klonopin for my anxiety. Klonopin shouldn't be taken toward the end of the pregnancy, though, as it can interfere with APGAR scores for the baby. Maybe try meditation, breathing techniques and acupressure/puncture?

---- John Maffei
Where: Mt. Carmel HS
Admission: $10 adults, $6 students
Time: Field events, 10 a.m.; running events, 12:30 p.m.
At a glance: Among the many story lines to follow at the CIF San Diego Section finals will be how many state-meet qualifiers the El Camino High girls can push through and just what Darren Fahy of La Costa Canyon will do. The El Camino girls have Jasmine Gibbs ---- the top prelims qualifier in the 100, 200 and long jump ---- leading a group of half a dozen individuals who could make it to state. One of them is senior Danielle Bryan, the defending section champion in the high jump and the No. 1 qualifer in prelims. Fahy, the CIF Division II state cross country champion, is scheduled to run the 1,600 and 3,200. The 8:54.51 he turned in at Arcadia is the fastest time in the state this year in the 3,200, and his 4:08.15 in the 1,600 is No. 2 in the state. Fahy did just enough at the prelims to make the championship heat, so it will interesting to see what he's got on Saturday. The reigning state champion in the shot put, Breana Jemison of Carlsbad has thrown 44-5 1/4 this season. Not too far behind her is El Camino's Jakayla Daniels, who has thrown 43-8. They both are in the top 10 in the state. And Taylor Larch-Miller of Torrey Pines has been slowed by aches and pains this season but looked the picture of health as she posted the fastest time of the day in the 100 hurdles (14.31) at last week's prelims. She is the defending champion in the event. The boys 100 could be interesting with top qualifier Dylan McCloskey of El Camino (10.63) being chased by Evan Gray of Poway, Gary Thompson of Helix and Nehemiah Brown of Valhalla, all of whom qualified in 10.73. Ronnie Bourguignon of Valley Center ran 10.77 last week. Oceanside's Joniece Ervin is the two-time section champ in the 300 hurdles, so it was no surprise she posted the fastest qualifying time (43.43). But she might be able to make a run at a state-meet berth in the 100 hurdles, too. Her 14.50 in prelims was second to Larch-Miller. The section finals include a championship heat and a B heat for every event except the 3,200. The top three finishers in the championship heat will qualify for the CIF state prelims on Friday in Clovis.

Riot police injured in Belfast
FIFTY-six police officers were injured in clashes with loyalists protesting against a republican rally in Belfast city centre.
Police deployed water cannon and fired 26 plastic baton rounds in a bid to quell the unrest on Friday night. Northern Ireland's Chief Constable Matt Baggott condemned the violence as "mindless anarchy".
He said: "I know that 99 per cent, if not more, of the population will stand with me in utterly condemning those who scarred the reputation of our beautiful city."
