(Lights up on both the communal area and Head Nurse's office. Alice is sat with Head Nurse. In the communal area are Henry, John, Violet, Rose and Nurse.)
Head Nurse: You know why you're here.
Rose: Can you believe what she did?
Head Nurse: You're lucky you haven't been taken to the authorities.
Violet: It's gruesome.
Head Nurse: You really ought to hang Alice.
John: There must have been some reason.
Henry: There must have.
Head Nurse: However, if you were to be taken away who would I have for my little play thing?
Henry: Belinda did have it in for Alice.
Head Nurse: From now on you will obey everything I say when I say it.
John: But now she's dead. The memories hurt. All dead.
Head Nurse: You are my little princess, right Alice?
Rose: Nothing will happen to her.
Violet: She's the head nurse's pet.
Head Nurse: I said right Alice?
Rose: She should hang.
Violet: An eye for an eye.
Rose: A head for a head.
Head Nurse: Alice.
Alice: Yes.
Head Nurse: Then it's settled.
Henry: Leave Alice alone.
Head Nurse: You're mine.
Henry: She doesn't deserve this.
Head Nurse: However.
John: We don't know what happened. Not really.
Head Nurse: If we have one more incident.
Rose: We should take her head clean off.
Head Nurse: Then we will be forced to resort to more permanent treatments.
Rose: Hack it away. Keep it as a trophy.
Violet: Then rabbit will be ours.
Head Nurse: Do you understand?
Henry: I don't believe it wise to take the rabbit.
Head Nurse: Alice?
Rose: Silence Henry. This is no concern of yours.
Alice: Permanent?
Head Nurse: Yes. Permanent.One particular procedure may be very appropriate for you.A personal favourite of mine.
John: DON'T SPEAK TO HIM LIKE THAT.
Nurse: Sit down John.
Rose: Yes John. Sit down.
Head Nurse: Do you know which one it is?
Violet: Sit down John.
Alice: No.
John: Just wait until you're both sleeping.
Head Nurse: Lobotomy.
Alice: You can't.
Henry: Don't stoop to their level. The charming little things won't do anything to me.
Head Nurse: I can.
John: They're asking for it.
Head Nurse: And I will.
Henry: Alice is good.
Alice: Please.
Henry: I don't think she's evil.
Alice: Please don't.
John: She might be.
Head Nurse: I won't. If you behave.
Henry: How?
Alice: I will.
John: She kills people.
Head Nurse: Good.
John: She might kill you.
Head Nurse: Now, I will allow you ten minutes of communal time. No more.
Henry: She won't.
Alice: Thank you.
Henry: She wouldn't.
Head Nurse: However, lobotomy might not be an entirely bad thing.
Henry: She just does bad stuff to bad people.
Head Nurse: You could be free Alice.
Henry: I'm not bad.
Head Nurse: No more pain.
John: Are you sure?
Head Nurse: No more memories.
Henry: No.
Head Nurse: No more guilt.
Henry: But I feel it.
Head Nurse: You could be in your wonderland all the time.
Henry: Alice knows.
Head Nurse: Wouldn't you like that?
Alice: Perhaps. But I have been deceived before.
Rose: Shut up about Alice.
Head Nurse: No deception here.
Violet: We've had enough.
Head Nurse: Sure, it hurts at first.
Henry: Don't listen then.
Head Nurse: But then it's bliss.
Henry: Don't rise to it John.
Head Nurse: All those things that hurt you are gone.
John: I won't.
Head Nurse: No more pain just wonderland.
Alice: And what's in it for you.
Head Nurse: (smirks) Well you will be gone but your body will remain...
Alice: You're sick.
Head Nurse: No, I believe that is you. Now get out of my sight. Go and join your little friends.
Alice: They're not my friends.
(Alice crosses over to the communal area. Lights down on Head Nurse's office. She exits. As soon as Alice enters the room it falls into dead silence. Everyone stares at her.)
Nurse: Come and sit down Alice. Let's not disturb anyone.
Henry: You can sit with me Alice.
Alice: No thank you.
Nurse: Leave her be.
Rose: (whispers) Look at her.
Violet: (whispers) What?
Rose: (whispers) No punishment? No extra treatment? No permanent imprisonment?
Violet: (whispers) Perhaps she didn't do it?
Rose: Of course she did it.
Alice: It's impolite to whisper Rose.
(Rose stands and walks over to Alice)
Rose: It's impolite to hack someone's head away.
(Violet comes and sits the other side of Alice)
Violet: You killed her.
Alice: I didn't.
Rose: Who else did?
Alice: The Queen.
Violet: The Queen?
Rose: (laughs) What Queen?
Alice: She did it.
Rose: No Alice. You did.
Violet: Aww look Rose.
Rose: What?
Violet: She's hurt herself again.
Rose: Aww poor little Alice.
Violet: Why did you do that Alice?
Rose: Was it because you killed Belinda?
Alice: I didn't kill her. I told you.
Rose: Yeah but I think you did.
Violet: Me too.
(Rose pinches Alice hard.)
Rose: Does this hurt?
Alice: Get off me.
Rose: Is it painful?
Alice: GET OFF.
Violet: Rabbit can't help now can he?
(Rose and Violet slowly start turning into Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee. As this happens, the lights need to fade on all other characters.)
Alice: Stop this nonsense!
Tweedle Dum: But we like nonsense.
Tweedle Dee: Yes nonsense.
Alice: I need to be going now.
Tweedle Dum: Wait.
Tweedle Dee: Wait
Tweedle Dum: When someone leaves they must say good bye.
Tweedle Dee: Good bye!
Tweedle Dum: Good bye!
Tweedle Dum & Dee: That's manners!
Alice: And what would you pair know about manners?
Tweedle Dum: A great deal.
Tweedle Dee: Yes a great deal.
Tweedle Dum: We know that...
Tweedle Dee: (interrupting) The first thing you should say...
Tweedle Dum: How do ya do? And shake hands! Shake hands!
Tweedle Dee: How do ya do and shake hands!
(As they speak they begin to keep swapping places and shaking one another's hand)
Tweedle Dum: State your name and business!
Tweedle Dum & Dee: That's manners!
Alice: Please just leave me be.
Tweedle Dum: But you must be punished.
Tweedle Dee: So punished you will be.
Alice: Whatever for?
Tweedle Dum: Bill.
Tweedle Dee: Yes Bill.
Alice: What about Bill?
Tweedle Dum: You killed her.
Tweedle Dee: Killed her.
Tweedle Dum: You chopped off her head most like.
Tweedle Dee: Yes most like.
Tweedle Dum: Contrariwise it should be off with your head.
Tweedle Dee: Off with her head!
Alice: Careful I do believe you pair are beginning to sound like the Queen.
Tweedle Dum: The Queen!
Tweedle Dee: The Queen!
Tweedle Dum: How dare you!
Tweedle Dee: How dare she!
Alice: You cannot simply say you are going to off with my head and not have similarities to the queen.
Tweedle Dum: Impertinent!
Tweedle Dee: Impertinent!
Alice: I just want to be alone with rabbit. Please go.
Tweedle Dum: Ahh Rabbit.
Tweedle Dee: Rabbit.
Tweedle Dum: We have been searching.
Tweedle Dee: Yes searching for Rabbit.
Alice: What ever do you mean?
Tweedle Dum: We want him.
Tweedle Dee: We need him.
Tweedle Dum: He will belong to us.
Tweedle Dee: Yes most like.
Alice: You won't get anywhere near rabbit.
Tweedle Dum: Give him here.
Alice: No.
Tweedle Dee: Hand him over.
Alice: No.
(Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee slowly start to change back into Rose and Violet)
Rose: I want that rabbit.
Alice: Stay back!
Rose: Violet grab him!
(Violet reaches forward and grabs a hold of rabbit's legs. Alice screams and pulls the rabbit away with one fierce tug. Violet goes for the rabbit once again and Rose holds Alice's arms. Alice kicks and struggles as Violet taunts her with the rabbit. Nurse is busy giving John some of his medication and doesn't see what is happening. Alice eventually throws her head back, hitting Rose in the nose and forcing her to let go. Alice then kicks Violet backwards and she tumbles to the floor, still holding the rabbit. Alice pulls and pulls trying to get rabbit back but is unable to break Violet's grip. Alice falls on top of Violet and pushes her thumbs into Violet's eyes blinding her. Violet screams and releases the rabbit, holding onto her face instead. Nurse is alerted by the scream and she runs and pulls the alarm. Head Nurse enters and sees what has happened.)
Head Nurse: Nurse please take Violet and Rose and see to their injuries. Then take Henry and John back to their rooms. I will deal with Alice.
Nurse: Yes. Right away.
(Nurse sets about doing the tasks she has just been given. Head Nurse walks over to an oblivious Alice. She pulls a syringe full of sedative from her pocket and aggressively stabs it into Alice's neck. Alice slowly slumps to the floor and the lights go down.)

MTT: how often do you have to cash to be profitable?
In your individual past experience, roughly how often do you have to cash to be profitable in multi-table tournaments?
Running basic estimates myself... It seems like, if you go out soon after cashing, and the money on the bubble pays 2.5x's your buy in (typical numbers from what I've seen), you have to cash roughly 40% of the time you play just to break even. Is it realistic to think you can cash that often? Given that typical tournaments pay the top 10% it seems like the odds are not in your favor.
Of course, there will be times when you go deep into the tournament. My other questions is, in your experience, how often does this occur? How do you figure that into deciding whether or not to persue tournament play (ie: I need to make the final table in 1/15 tournaments to make it worth my time, etc)? What is your personal reasoning and break even point?
Anyway, just wanted to get the forum's thoughts and comments. Thanks.
To be profitable at MTT's your goal would really have to be final tabling -not just cashing. And once you make that your goal you will find yourself cashing a lot less often. You have to have a big cash at least periodically to sustain.
It is not easy.
i figure it this way, if i play Ten $10. games, i have to cash once for at least $100. just to be even, anything above that is profit,, if you play 10 $50. games you have to cash at least once for $500. to break even, anything over that is profit, them are just examples, thats the way we figured it out 40 years ago, im sure there are newer ways to figure it out, im from the Old School, if you make a Penny, you made a profit,,buck
even that way, like daks said, its not easy,its a long battle,
You're estimates are off by quite a bit. In micro buyin levels, you'll typically see players cashing (I.T.M., 'in the money') at a higher frequency than in the larger buyin MTTs (I believe from many going by the theory... play to get ITM... then try to move up the money ladder... quite often we're then in bad shape and unless we get lucky once the bubble pops we usually don't run that deep in it).
Another note here... usually the payout for just making it ITM (just making it past when the bubble pops) is only around 1.5x your buyin (or even less). Try looking thru the lobbys of tournaments that have been completed and you'll see this to be the case.
The best online MTT players generally finish I.T.M. at a rate of 11-12% (this seems to be the average amongst the top guys who play online tournaments, with avg. buyin $100+... same goes for the med.-stakes buyin MTT players ($26-$75).. avg. ITM is ~11-12%). Players with higher I.T.M. usually don't have a higher ROI% (<< return on investment). ROI is the number you should actually be more concerned with.
So... what's a decent ROI%? It 'depends', lol. It depends on what your primary motivation for playing MTTs is, what buyins you're playing, etc. (ie. if you're playing for the highest winrate/hr. then you'd obviously need a decent ROI% if playing the micro levels, because there will be many times that you'll play for 4hrs. in a tournament and not make much more than your buyin in return).
Some good (high buyin) MTT players only have an ROI of +25% but at the same time they might play a very high volume of them. Others are +150%.
As mentioned above, you really want to shoot for the final table when playing MTTs. At first you might just want to play to get in the money which is fine but without a decent cash along they way it'll be difficult to maintain a bankroll, nevermind increasing it.
MTTs are a tough go... until you get a decent cash that is. This is why most MTT players suggest not playing an MTT that is more than 2% of your bankroll (many say only 1%).
I think if you just focus on improving your game along the way, gaining more experience all the time, play with good bankroll management, etc., the bankroll will take care of itself (in other words.... you don't need to calculate that you'd need to be cashing 40% of the time).
Sidenote.... for SNG play (single table SNG's that is)... 40% ITM is about what you'd need to be shooting for to be playign profitably. Anything below 35% ITM and I'm pretty sure you'd be running with a -ROI% (unless you had a disproportionately large number of 1st place finishes).
GL on the tables!!
re: Poker & MTT: how often do you have to cash to be profitable?
Seems you were the only one who didn't know what he meant, even though you claim to yourself "He was talking about "factoring in" the rake in the calculations. If he meant tournament fee, he would've said tournament fee."
Your interpretation assumes ace is completely ignorant to how tournaments function. Somehow I think referring to entry fee as rake (the houses cut) is more likely.
If you're too stubborn to interact with other people, then by all means don't come back at all.
No need to get so upset because you misunderstood something.
re: Poker & MTT: how often do you have to cash to be profitable?
a lot of it depends on your style. Some are aggressive and either are big winners or losers. Others are conservative and just try to make cash. Be aware of what you are as it affects how often you must cash
I've frequently read the proposition that it is better to "play to win" the tournament rather than to "play to cash." In my opinion this is not a very useful simplification. You have to make it ITM before you can win the tourney. To win tournaments you have to be willing to take chances at some point and I think the difference in philosophy is when and to what degree do you start taking chances. Everyone has witnessed the maniac who builds a big stack early and is out of the tourney long before the money and most have probably seen a short stack catch a hot run of cards at the right time and win a tournament. With experience you'll learn your own style of patience and risk taking.
ok i ll clear this up
i actually meant tourney fee as it happens. i mainly play cash games so i used the term rake(mistakenly perhaps).
i suppose what i was trying to get at was that you're ROI must take account of the tourney fee(aka rake to me) before you determine profitability.
soz bout confusion
Thanks for the reply Poker Orfice. Really good things to think about. Could you take it a step further and actively select tournaments with a greater potential to cash and/or they have individual sites promotions; bounties, gaurentees, etc. which could potentially increase your own overall ROI?
How do you select the tournaments that you play in? ROI perspective? win-rate/hr perspective? And why?
If you are learning to play the game, all the winrate stuff is secondary to improving your game. If your goal is to make immediate profits, your bottom line is $/hr.
In terms of game selection, bankroll management, effective buy in compared to your actual buy in (overlays, money added, etc), and your edge against the field are the factors to be considered. Note that tournaments generally have the highest ROI potential but that comes at the cost of variance and a lot of time invested. Bounties reduce variance because the final prize distribution isn't as skewed as normal tournaments.
As has been stated, the money to be made is at the top couple of spots in large MTTs and your goal from the outset should be to make a few large cashes as opposed to lots of small ones. This results in larger variance but it is widely accepted as the optimal way to maximize ROI.
re: Poker & MTT: how often do you have to cash to be profitable?
Hence your ROI will be low if you to continue just to make the money.
You do need to final table at lower levels to improve ROI
If you filters are set for strictly MTT's, I don't think you'll find many (if any) of the top online MTT players cashing at 20% ITM (i've run many of them and have found it rare to see any of the top guys cashing higher than 12% ITM (also if they've played some volume)).
Who are you considering as being 'most pros'?
You'll find many of the high buyin online MTT players playing in Fulltilt's $1K Monday.... I've never seen any of them cashing anywhere close to ITM 20% (I could list dozens who are making the highest MTT profits online... scrolling pretty much the entire lobby of the $1K you'll find many of them in there (ie. Believer82, Doc Sands, da_professional, NEONPILS, Julian Verse, TitanTom, USCPhildo, bballer88.... the list goes on,.. many of them with NetProfit in excess of 1/2 million on Fulltilt)
everyone want win.......
the truth is that you always want to win, and all we play for real money if we did not win does not look like a waste of time if not money, and that if it hurts, if you want to pay your game would be that at least gain a little more than you for that tournament pagasta .......... good day and good life.
re: Poker & MTT: how often do you have to cash to be profitable?
I'm on a mini heater for the last 120 days at Full Tilt micro MTTS averaging 23% overall ITM and 24% ITM in NLHE.
Overall 17% ROI and 64% ROI in NLHE and a small $98.00 profit
I got to quit playing the mixed tourney games and stick to NLHE
I agree with alot of the other posters. I think ROI is the best stat because the higher the ROI the more money you made when you did cash. From the start of the tourney you always play to win. Sometimes it's your day and sometimes not. The only time it's correct to play to money is when you are short-stacked and close to the bubble. Then cashing is top priority. Other than that PLAY TO WIN!!! You do that and you'll make money.

Financial Market Risk: Measurement & Analysis (Routledge International Studies in Money and Banking)
Routledge | ISBN: 041527866X | 2003-07-28 | PDF | 460 pages | 3 Mb
This new book uses advanced signal processing technology to measure and analyze risk phenomena of the financial markets. It explains how to scientifically measure, analyze and manage non-stationarity and long-term time dependence (long memory) of financial market returns. It studies, in particular, financial crises in persistent financial markets, such as stock, bond and real estate market, and turbulence in anti-persistent financial markets, such as anchor currency markets. It uses Windowed Fourier and Wavelet Multiresolution Analysis to measure the degrees of persistence of these complex markets, by computing monofractal Hurst exponents and multifractal singularity spectra. It explains how and why financial crises and financial turbulence may occur in the various markets and why we may have to reconsider the current wave of term structure modeling based on affine models. It also uses these persistence measurements to improve the financial risk management of global investment funds, via numerical simulationsof the nonlinear diffusion equations describing the underlying high frequency dynamic pricing processes.

MUNI sucks! Ah, j/k. Well it does, but not in this case. I wonder if 38Geary is available…
Collect them all!
MUNI sucks! Ah, j/k. Well it does, but not in this case. I wonder if 38Geary is available…
Collect them all!
Here's the background and here's what the first day of terminal operation looked like yesterday:
I didn't see it in operation, but I did see a Nest* (wherever that is) Bus heading away from this area this AM so maybe this 116 feet will be a nest for Nest, and others. Who uses this terminal is a secret, kept by our incompetent SFMTA, for some reason.
I think all these pissed-off people would have needed the relevant city Supervisor to go to bat for them against the SFMTA. I suppose that didn't happen.
(I'll tell you, one block away on Hayes, there's a bus stop for the #21 what's nine (9) seconds away from another bus stop for the same line. Our weak-willed SFMTA wanted to get rid of one of the stops but a while back but a local bidness owner hired on craigslist to get a "grass-roots" campaign going to sway our swayable Supervisor London Breed. So that's democracy in action, or not, depending on how you look at it.)
Anyway, the signs say that all this will expire on May 27th, 2016, so we'll just have to wait and see what the SFMTA wants to do next. Perhaps they'll install permanent signs soon, IDK…
*Yeah, I need me an expensive Nest thermostat for my 100 year old radiators – I'm sure that would work out real good.
I don't know how the SFMTA's big meeting on March 18th, 2016 ended up, but this was the scene aforehand, on Fell near Masonic:
There were multiple three-page flyers everywhere:
What the Facebook Teamsters wanted last year was their own terminal in the 94117, so they wouldn't have to sit around idling, and I'm srsly, in the slow lane of outbound/southbound Masonic (betwixt Fell and Oak, you know, the one that MUNI buses use all the time) OR in the MUNI stop at Hayes and Masonic (as they've been doing every working day, including this morning at 6:43 AM). It looks like they're getting what they want. Enough space for two buses.
And I call it a terminal since there's now nothing to prevent the Teamsters from staging in their own dedicated bus stop, AFAICS…
Our incompetent SFMTA* has been sending out postcards that look like this:
So in this case, Hayes won't have the same old load of corporate buses because Fell Street will be picking up the slack.
Here's what Hayes looks like these days, sometimes – there's conflict betwixt MUNI operators in MUNI buses and the Teamsters in the Facebook Buses, who know staging (sitting around) is against the rules but they do it anyway because They Just Don't Care:
(It's hard to tell without expanding the photo, but the MUNI bus driver was glaring at the idled Teamster. I'll tell you, Bro was pissed at the big FB bus, that's for sure.)
Anyway, forget all that, cause this is what's coming:
So, using the same example, we'll say good-bye to parking on the first 116 feet of the north side of Fell past Masonic:
Fell Street north side, from Masonic Street to 116 feet westerly (restricts parking at 3 residential permit parking spaces)"
You can look forward to seeing Facebook buses sitting in front of these buildings, especially in the AM:
Basically, these new stops will turn into bus terminals, 'cause the drivers will end up simply parking here on Fell the same way they routinely (and improperly) do so at the outbound #21 Hayes stop one block north. Maybe even non-driving Facebook "starters" will come back, like last year when they hung out across the street closer to Oak.
Oh well.
Pursuant to SFMTA Order No. 5550 adopted March 4, 2016, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency will hold a public hearing to solicit public input on the following proposed changes. The hearing will be held as follows:
Date/Time: Friday, March 18, at 10:00 am
Location: Room 416 (Hearing Room 4), City Hall, San Francisco (located on Van Ness Avenue between McAllister and Grove Streets)"
All the deets at the official link above, and after the jump.
*Our SFMTA is the operator of MUNI – case closed.
I guess this is one of my issues, the width of the Fell Street bike path – I think it's too narrow. It's being used a lot more now than back when it was widened from 8 feet to 12 feet, IMO.
Anyway, this kind of thing happens all the time and it always seems to be E21 that turns up to haul people (and their bikes – it comes with you at no extra charge on your already quite hefty bill) away.
(Hey, who would get better medical attention after an accident – Princess Diana back in the 1990's or a homeless person of the 94117 in 2016? It's not even close.)
ASSIGNMENT DESK: Somebody ought to go on a ride-along with this crew and then write about it…
Oh Facebook, Facebook – why is it that I know so much more about how you should operate your corporate shuttle bus system than your Teamsters / employees / contractors do? I mean, who's in charge here?
For instance, drivers at Hayes and Masonic repeatedly "stage" in the outbound MUNI bus stop. We've been through this afore. This isn't some kind of loophole – it's specifically enumerated as something drivers aren't supposed to do. Here's a scene from this morning, just after the operator decided to (awkwardly) hit the road:
So the Teamsters/starters ask me, "Well, where do you want us to stage?" And I'm like NO NO NO, THAT'S NOT MY PROBLEM. I'm like, no, I'm not paid to make that decision for you. IDK, do you want to pay some place for the privilege of parking for 5, 10 or 15 minutes at a shot? Hey, that's an idea. Have at it. Oh, what's that, you can't afford that? Rly? IDK, man.
And lately, I've never seen these buses in compliance. The only time I really notice them is when they're staging. MUNI buses generally stop, let ppl get on/off and move on in like 10-20 seconds. What can't Facebook buses do that?
And the other thing is that I'm no longer seeing the green shuttle ID numbers on the back of these buses. They're on the front, like 07-057, certainly, but not on the back, which is really the place where you'd want them, like, you just got run over by a bus and then you put your glasses back on and you say to yourself, oh OK, "07-057 – I'm going to call the 311 after I get out of the ER and I'm going to tell them 07-057, yeah, that's the ticket."
So what's up with that? Am I seeing the same couple of noncompliant buses every day? That's certainly possible. Or perhaps we're in some kind of shuttle bus limbo due to in/action by the BOS the past couple of weeks and maybe the rules don't apply anymore, if only temporarily?
Hey, here's a checklist – walk around your damn bus every day and then check to see if your ID #s are where they are supposed to be.
I have a couple other pointers as well, FB. Call me, Facebook. Or gmail me or something. (I'm not on the actual FB anymore, sry.)
Oh here we go, here's a 21 Hayes operator at 10th and Market. (Hey, you know the slow and inefficient #21, right? It comes to us, at great expense, via our slow and inefficient SFMTA.)
Anywho, here's the scene, the driver with a green, the ped with a fierce attitude problem – it's a staring contest:
But let's start at the beginning where Just Do It ambles against the red heading inbound on Market:
And reaches the safety island. All the other peds stop for their red, but Just Do It doesn't break stride, oh no. Now, here come the bus:
What's the ped's message here? It's like go ahead and run me down – make my day. Go ahead and just do it is what Just Do It is saying, more or less.
While driving, biking or walking about town, I blithely assume that all pedestrians will manifest mental illness. Is that so wrong? I think not, obliviously.
OTOH, our SFMTA considers all peds perfect, perfect people – perfect people who make the occasional "mistake" by purposefully walking into traffic.
And DYK that the cause of most ped deaths last year in SF County was the peds themselves? Our SFMTA seems to ignore this reality. (Do you want to get into this, start talking about vehicle code violations and whose fault is what? I can do it. I have done it, AAMOF.) But Reality doesn't win you any votes at the ballot box, and it doesn't make Uncle Sucker want to send us some more sweet sweet pork from DC, so that's why our SFMTA isn't interested in Reality.
What will be the consequences for the people today spouting VisionZero 2024 when 2024 comes and the promises of VisionZero 2024 don't? Nothing, absolutely nothing. Oh well.
If SFGov wants to legislate away all transportation deaths in town by 2024 and into the future, forever, it would need to be able to magically cure all mental illness, and even then it would fail. Really, SFGov would need to eliminate transportation altogether.

Is there a rumor you've heard that you would like to track down? Is there something in the city — like playground equipment or a pothole — that needs to be fixed? Rick Romano answers some of the mysteries of life in Wauwatosa and helps solve everyday problems.
Why the no-right-turn sign on 103rd Street across from San Camillo?
Issue: A reader, a resident at the senior residence and care campus, said he has always wondered why the sign, posted about 100 feet south of Bluemound Road would restrict traffic from turning southbound out of the parking lot and heading toward Wisconsin Avenue.
Status: While the reason for this sign is a mystery to a number of city officials as well as San Camillo's leadership, one theory was offered.
Police Lt. Chris Fox said there are many directional signs his department enforces, though they may not always know their origin. In fact, he said the sign apparently is not covered by municipal ordinance, so it is unenforceable.
Ald. Tim Hanson, whose district includes the campus, said he has no idea why the sign is there, except to theorize that 103rd Street residents appealed to the city when the campus was built about 30 years ago.
"That's usually the way those signs get approved and installed," Hanson said. "There's nothing like a new development to generate concern for increased traffic. It doesn't take much, just a couple of people who get support from others."
Public Works Director Bill Porter said that theory makes sense.
"We have an inventory of every sign in the city, but it does not include why the sign was placed," Porter said. "If there is support to change any sign, we can always review that."

Collective Bargaining Debate Hits New Jersey
When Republican Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker threatened the collective bargaining rights of Wisconsin's public sector employees earlier this year, large scale protests assembled almost overnight as the eyes of the world descended on the Badger State. It was déjà vu in the Garden State last week, when the New Jersey State Senate approved a bill which would radically change the health care, pensions and bargaining rights of over 500,000 public sector employees. Just a decade ago, a move against pensions would be political suicide. So why are voters and lawmakers changing their state budget tactics now?
For the answer we speak with Bob Hennelly, senior political reporter for WNYC, and Roger Lowenstein, contributing writer to The New York Times Magazine and author of "The End of Wall Street."

Fall Leaves Engagement Cake
I made this cake for my sister's engagement party. 2 tiers coconut cake with pineapple cream filling and 2 tiers are red velvet cake with chocolate hazelnut mousse filling. The leaves are gumpaste/fondant mix. The ring box is made of RKT and covered in fondant. The ring is gumpasate but the jewel is fake. She absolutely loved the cake although it stressed me out to the max since it was my first cake of this magnitude.

On May 23 (Wilson remembers the exact date), Wilson was informed by his coach that UNC had offered.
"My coach said I should call Coach Disch and talk to him about it," Wilson said. "[Disch] was just like, 'We really want to bring in defensive ends, so they'll make a spot for me.'"
Specifically, UNC is recruiting Wilson as a bandit. He has exclusively played D-line – mostly end – during his high school career. As a junior, he recorded seven sacks.
"I feel like I can play [bandit]," Wilson said. "Anywhere they put me I'll be able to play and contribute."
More than a dozen schools have offered Wilson, including Boston College, Central Florida, Cincinnati, Indiana, Memphis, Mississippi State, South Florida, and Wisconsin.
The UNC offer means more to Wilson than most Florida recruits. He grew up in Charlotte playing at Victory Christian before his family moved to the greater Orlando area prior to his sophomore year. More notably, he grew up a Tar Heel fan.
"[My fandom] is just as strong – I follow them in everything they do," Wilson said. "(UNC) has been my team since I was little, but when it comes to making my college choice I have to look at academics and not just the fact that I'm a fan of the school but how is it going to help me."
Wilson, who plans to major in business, is scheduled to see the academic side of UNC on June 17 when he visits the campus. The Tar Heels' coaching staff will be holding a camp that day. Wilson doesn't plan on working out.
"Last time I saw the stadium, so this time I really want to meet with an academic adviser and see what their plan is with academics," Wilson said.
As a fan, Wilson was in Kenan Stadium during the 2008 season when the Tar Heels beat Notre Dame, 29-24.
"I remember the crowd was live," Wilson said.
A day before traveling to UNC, Wilson will visit Georgia where he hopes to leave with a UGa scholarship offer. In July, he hopes to visit Wisconsin.
Previously, Wilson has visited Central Florida, Georgia Tech, and Mississippi State.
Wilson plans to make a verbal commitment in July with Independence Day being his target date.
"It depends," Wilson said. "If it gets around to July 4 and I don't know, I'll push [the decision] back a little bit. But it will still be in July."
Wilson denies possessing a firm list of favorite schools.
"Really, I like the schools that I've visited – just those schools, Wisconsin and probably Georgia," Wilson said. "It's wide open. I'll have to narrow all this down after I take visits to those schools. I'm not going to judge how I like a school without visiting them. After I visit all my schools, that's when I'll narrow it down."

Chapter1 (v.1) - BUS DWIVAH!
Author's Note: In the following chronicles, names of people and children (and no, they're not the same category), towns and locations have been changed to protect the innocent, and their parents.
I had been trained on the basics of school bus operation, which sounds far easier than it was. There's something appealing about the grittiness of driving a piece of large machinery, checking the air brakes, doing the walk-around safety check, engaging the gears and pulling out of the lot into a fall morning, the spicy scent of fallen leaves overlaying the smell of the exhaust. Parking a bus is not so appealing, but fairly irrelevant for our purposes here.
I'd passed the written and driving tests, and I had my Commercial Driver's License (CDL). I was officially a bus dwivah, although I wasn't named thus until I met Connor Bains, 2nd grader.
My employer, weary of shaking his head and clucking like an anxious hen while I drove, had delivered me to the dubiously good intentions of another driver, we'll call him Ralph. He was a skinny carrot-haired man with a wispy goatee and a nervous giggle. It's not what you're thinking – he giggled nervously when HE drove. He hated kids, but then most bus drivers do, if not at the beginning of their career, at least by the second day.
Ralph wasn't fond of me, either, privately suspecting I was intended to replace him, which turned out to be true. His assignment was to show me the route for Bus #30. Before I became privy to the ways of school transportation systems, I didn't know the importance of this.
The fact is that rural school bus routes are as inscrutable as pre-Rosetta Stone hieroglyphics, because homes in the country don't have numbers on their doors or mailboxes, commonly, this experience occurring prior to the 911 restructuring of rural addresses. The driver is handed a list of passengers, with name and grade noted. A separate schedule is attached, and it says things like: Proceed to Hagerstown Pike, turn left on Hunkerdown Road. #1 pickup, Joe Schmoe, 1st grade, at Hunkerdown Road. (Black wooden silhouette of cowboy in front yard.) This might have been a good identifier at the time of writing. However, by the time fall rolls around and the driver is searching for Joe Schmoe's house, the neighbors have all been entranced by the wooden cowboy's silhouette and now Hunkerdown Road is as peppered with cowboys as the OK corral, and Joe Schmoe's mother is still inside zipping his jacket and handing him his lunch for the fourth time, so you can't even identify his house by the small boy standing beside the black wooden cowboy.
Turn left on Whoopeeville Lane and left again directly after the bridge. #2 pickup, Nancy Schmancy, kindergarten. The township has chosen this, the first day of school, to block the bridge for maintenance, and the bus driver has to skirt the bridge by making a series of forty-two turns, arriving on Whoopeeville Lane dizzy and muddled. Nancy Schmancy, the only pickup on Whoopeeville, it will develop, got so excited about starting school she threw up all night and will not be riding the bus today.
You should be starting to get the picture. It's important to ride the route (both morning and night, because in a school bus, you can't just reverse the route – you have to TURN the bus and many country roads do not lend themselves to this process) with someone who knows what the heck they're doing.
I rode shotgun with Ralph on the afternoon run on Monday. Tuesday morning I arrived at the bus lot at 6:45 am, intending as instructed by our boss to ride with him again, in fact all of that week. Bus #30 was sitting quiet and still and lonely on the lot, no Ralph in evidence. My employer and his wife, both also drivers, were gone, filling in for drivers who were sick or vacationing that day. I knew little, but I did know our first pickup was at 7:15 and it was about 25 minutes from the lot. I climbed onto the bus and checked the pocket in the dash where the clipboard holding the route, passenger list and gas and maintenance logs was kept. The pocket was innocent of information. Empty. Not talking. Time was squinching in on me. I called my boss on my cell phone. No answer. I started Bus #30, did the walk-around. I called my boss again. Nope.
All of the buses carried two-way radios, the plan being that the driver could contact someone at all times. I tried the two-way to contact my boss. No answer. Sounding increasingly desperate, I tried again and again. Finally another driver answered my pleas. "What do you need?" I explained – it was past time to leave on the route, my mentor was nowhere to be found, and neither was the route. Just then the boss's teenaged daughter came out of the house and told me her Dad had gotten my message relayed to him by another driver, since he was out of two-way range. "He said go ahead and do the route," she said, and turned back to the house.
"Go ahead where?" I asked. "And pick up whom?" She blinked in that teenagerish way, and shrugged, picking her way barefooted across a sidewalk littered with wet golden leaves.
I got back on the bus and back on the two-way. "Hello? Hello? Bus #30 to dispatch. Hello?"
I tried again. "Bus #30 to anybody." My only human contact, the driver of Bus #17 who had answered me earlier, responded. "What do you need?"
It seemed inappropriate to begin my first experience as the captain of a land-going kid cruise ship in frustrated tears, but that's where this was heading. "I don't even know where to start," I wailed.
Bus #17 was quiet for a moment, and then he said, "I ran that route a couple of years ago. As I recall, it starts on River Road at the trailer park. If you can get the first kid, the kids can help you with the rest."
Bus #17 had a brilliant driver, I thought. "Thanks," I said fervently and signed off. I put the bus in gear and with my eyes on the road and my heart in my throat, I set out for River Road, thinking thoroughly unkind thoughts about Ralph. (It turned out later that Ralph thought leaving me without a guide and without a route or passenger list would be a good way to point out to our employer that I was not a suitable replacement for a well-trained and seasoned bus driver like himself. I never liked Ralph in the first place.)
Excepting only the driving test for my license and practicing slalom courses around orange traffic cones on the bus lot, this was my first time in a bus by myself. Both hands clenched firmly in the 10 o'clock, 12 o'clock position, feet fluttering around the pedals, eyes swiveling like an owl's, I headed for the trailer park on River Road.
The morning mists still drifted over the water, rainbowed by the just-risen sun. Snowy white egrets perched on the banks like Egyptian statues, and the early light picked out dew droplets on the trees along the road, sparkling like precious gems. I was impervious to all this beauty, I was on a mission. The most beautiful sight I saw that morning was a small chubby boy pacing restlessly in front of a yellow mobile home. I slowed, put on the bus's blinking red lights and stopped neatly in front of him. I swung the door lever and the door hissed open. "Jared?" I asked hopefully, in the same tone and with the same emotion that Stanley, after trekking across Africa in search of the famous explorer, inquired, "Dr. Livingston, I presume?"
Jared nodded silently and I motioned him urgently onto the bus. "Look," I said. "I'm a new driver and I don't have the route, so I would really appreciate it if you'd help me find the other kids I'm supposed to pick up."
Jared gave me a jaundiced look as though incompetent adults were common in his experience. He did not look particularly eager to help.
"As big as you want," I said, and Jared got with the program.
"Last trailer down," he said economically, and sat back in the front seat.
As the bus population increased, children already jazzed at the prospect of a new driver, contended to be the first to give me the next stop information.
A little fuzzy-haired blonde girl hollered, "Turn that way." I had to look in the rearview mirror and then translate backwards to determine proper direction, because small children don't yet understand the concept of 'left' and 'right.' Come to think of it, my brilliant and beautiful daughter is twenty-six, and she still doesn't fully comprehend 'left' and 'right.'
The boy waggled his head in that "gotcha" motion, smirking knowingly. "Stacey Smithereens' dad got arrested for somethin' bad and they got a divorce. Stacey and her mom and her brother moved to Masonville with her gramma." Kids, I learned, say the word divorce the same way they say "monster" or "boogeyman," hoping that if they say it quietly, it will never visit their house.
"Turn or not?" I asked the bus route committee. "NO!" they roared back, and the bus surged on down Reister's Road.
After that minor glitch, the only problem was that elementary schoolchildren have something in common with teenaged drivers. They don't understand physics, or the concepts of momentum and inertia. They scream "STOP!" when the destination house's mailbox appears in their bus window, not understanding that a bus is not like a basketball player and cannot stop on a dime. Or they holler, "RIGHT HERE," meaning, "right here at the house around the next corner." This results in the necessity for the bus to wait along the road while the passenger jogs sweatily a hundred yards to catch the bus, all the kids on board hanging out their windows waving and cheering him/her on, or it results in a sudden and unnecessary stop followed by a long slow crawl as the driver searches for the place where the next child is actually waiting.
It was quite a merry ride, all in all. At one point I glanced in the rearview to find to my surprise that the bus was nearly full. To be truthful, I was unsure whether all the kids I'd picked up were actually students at the school I was taking them to, but I comforted myself with the fact that somebody at the school could sort it all out.
On Mountain Road, Pickup #25, Spring Byner, the moment I had been dreading arrived, but not before a large white goose came slapping down the driveway, honking pugnaciously, to challenge the bus to a fight. "Silly goose" is not just an expression. I still wonder what the goose was thinking about the bus. A huge gosling getting uppity? I narrowly missed making paté out of the foolish feathered beast and pulled to a stop at the driveway. Spring climbed the steps and sat down.
The moment of truth had arrived. Turnaround. I backed the monstrous vehicle s-l-o-w-l-y into a leafy weed-choked lane across from Spring's house, with all my little collaborators hollering advice or screaming joyfully "You're gonna hit that tree!" Only a few leaves were captured on the rearview mirror when we started back down the road, and I breathed again.
The bus disgorged my charges at the school; they piled out laughing and saying, "Hey, that was FUN!"
At the bus lot, my boss met me with "Lisa's mother called. You missed her."
I fixed him with a frosty gaze. At the moment I didn't care if I lost my job or not. "We're lucky I found anybody."
I nodded and stopped on the way home for chocolate bars, for the kids for helping me and for myself, because I find chocolate fortifying.
I sat at my kitchen table staring at the wall for a half hour, and then went to take a nap. I had to take them home again at 3:30.

Hi Bus Dwivah!
I finally got to read this and have to say: LOVE IT! LOVE IT SOOO MUCH! I could just see everything as it happened: that bus abandoned in the lot, the damp golden leaves, the shrieking kids, you with your empty chocolate wrapper at home, simply fried by the thought of doing it all again in reverse. You really are an awesome writer, IMHO, a definite guru :-) Keep the terrific stories coming! I am about to read the next chapter! Whoohoo!
you couldn't have captured the moment of the first day any better if you tried.As a fellow school bus driver I have found through the years that there are a lot of first days. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much. The biggest compliment - "You nailed it." And thanks for commenting at ALL. I'm amazed that folks who bother to read something don't bother to comment, good or bad. If you haven't checked out "Experience Project" (experienceproject.com) I recommend it - much more responsive members.
that was an interesting read. i felt no compulsion to skip threw. Good job yet again!
Thank you, Nova Chan!
Actually, Chapter One is sort of the introduction - I think my favorites may be Chapters 2 & 3 - more kid stuff in them - and that was the funny part.
I appreciate your thoughtful and generous comments. I'm about half starting to feel like a writer again.
i cant believe you had to bribe that kid to help you! Little kids are so annoyed, but unlike most people my age *rolls eye and mutters "immature"* I can see the joy in a job like that. I mean, the pays probably not that a good, and driving my class would be torture. but little innocent kids with this questions and innocence, its so cute. i must admit this inst what i expected "Bus Dwivah" sounds like an Indian word to me, I cant believe how i missed "Bus Dwivah" being "Bus Driver!" the simplest thing ARE often the most missed! SO you have a very good title there ^^ Well done Mamapolo! well done.
A Knight of Booksie Old.
That's an interesting comment. I got so used to being called "Bus Dwivah" that it seems obvious to me.
Odds are I could have persuaded Jared to share the information if I had had time to negotiate, but when in a rush, go directly to bribe (baksheesh, they call it in other places).
I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Georgia police may check the immigration status of suspects, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled today.
In partially lifting a lower-court injunction, the court acknowledged that the provision of the state's 2011 immigration law "invites ... racial profiling," but declared, "Reliance on race, color, or national origin that is constitutionally prohibited, however, is expressly forbidden by the Georgia statute."
The appellate panel continued to block prosecution of certain individuals who knowingly harbor or transport an illegal immigrant during a crime, saying the lower court must still rule on a challenge, the Associated Press reports.
Only one of 23 sections of the state's 2011 immigration bill have been overturned.
Attorney General Sam Olens said he was pleased the appeals court upheld the police checks but disagreed with the decision to keep the other part of the injunction in place. "We are currently reviewing the 11th Circuit's ruling to determine whether further appeal would be appropriate at this stage of the case," he said in his statement.

Jack Willis, 22, who goes by his late father's surname, was attacked in the family mansion by three masked men who handcuffed him and hit him with a crowbar.
After forcing him to show them where his mother's jewellery collection was kept, the raiders threatened to kidnap him and hold him to ransom.
Last night his tearful mother said she was 'heartbroken' by the raid, in which she lost treasured gifts from her late husband, Bobby Willis.
Miss Black, 60, flew back from holiday as soon as she heard about the attack at her £2million mansion in Denham, Buckinghamshire, on Saturday night.
Stepping out of a chauffeur driven Bentley, she told reporters: 'I just want to go in to see Jack because you wouldn't treat a terrorist the way my son has been treated. I am relying on you guys to find these people.'
Later, after an hour-long meeting with police, she added: 'I am totally devastated and appalled.
'Our Jack has been a very brave man and I'm extremely proud at the way he handled and is handling this traumatic experience.
'What he was subjected to must be everyone's nightmare. To be woken up by three masked intruders, assaulted with a crowbar, have your life threatened with a knife held to your throat and to be told you'll be kidnapped for ransom is truly horrific.
'I am just so grateful he is alive and slowly coming to terms with what has happened.'
The 60s pop legend turned TV presenter was able to shed further light on how the men wearing balaclavas broke in shortly before midnight on Saturday.
She said in a statement that Jack was alone in the house when the men scaled a perimeter fence and forced open a ground-floor window.
'Jack was watching television in his bedroom when he heard someone banging on his door,' the statement said. 'He presumed it was his brother Ben, who he was expecting to stay the night having attended a nearby wedding.'
Jack opened the door and saw the masked men. He tried to close it again but they forced it and attacked him with the crowbar.
'The men made him lie down and handcuffed his hands behind his back,' the statement went on. 'They then took a hunting knife and held it to his throat threatening to kill him unless he showed them where Cilla's jewellery and valuables were secured. This he duly did.'
At first officers were unaware of what had been stolen, as Jack told them he did not know what his
mother kept in the house. It was only when Miss Black returned that the scale of the haul was established.
The men took all the jewellery her husband had given her over many years, her mother's wedding and engagement rings, cash and a small amount of gold.
The three intruders then threatened to put Jack in the boot of their car and kidnap him. But he reasoned with them and they secured him to a radiator.
Miss Black said: 'Obviously the jewellery does not compare with what Jack has had to endure. But losing my entire collection of all the gifts Bobby gave me and my mam's wedding and engagement rings is heartbreaking.
'Their sentimental value far outweighs their material worth. I will not be replacing them, you can't replace sentimental value.
'Burglary is not just a violation of your home but also a terrible psychological crime. Sadly it seems to be becoming more and more common these days.'
Police scrambled a helicopter and brought in sniffer dogs in an attempt to track down the raiders late on Saturday but called off the fruitless search several hours later.
The family are expected to step up security at the property, which is surrounded by woodland and cannot be seen from the road. The only entrance to the grounds is guarded by electronic gates and closed circuit TV, with motion-sensitive lighting.
Miss Black has lived there since the 1970s, when she began a family with Bobby, her agent and husband who died of cancer four years ago. Her older sons Robert, 33, and Ben, 29, have since left home but Jack still lives with his mother.

Aura had felt the immense power surge and then the teleport and she was pulling her robes back on. The flare of magick had been massive and she needed to know where it had come from.
Gabriel landed on his bed Dawn beside him. The daemon laughed and Gabriel smiled.
"Are you going to be okay?" Dawn asked seriously.
"I'll be alright"
"We do have an escape route planned if it comes to that" the daemon kissed Gabriel's forehead his hands on the vampyres cheeks.
"Dawn" Gabriel frowned, the daemons face was inches from his own. Gabriel felt his mother's magick shift a few rooms away. "Dawn, go." he said urgently. The daemon looked at him for a few moments more before letting go and vanishing. Gabriel's door crashed open and Aura stormed in.
"Where is he?" she roared Gabriel heard the rest of the house begin to move awakened by the amount of noise that was going on.
"Where's who?" Gabriel snapped back.
"The daemon" she spat "I know he's been in here I can smell it"
"What's happening?" Sylver asked behind her he rubbed sleep out of his eyes.
"What's going on my son" Aura snarled not taking her eyes off Gabriel. "This creature has been lying to all of you" the rest of the house was crowding in the hallway outside Gabriel's room. Aura turned and lunging past Maxwell and Chrys she grabbed Morgan's arm.
"I have my heir and I'm leaving the corruption in this house is disturbing and dangerous"
"Don't you dare" Gabriel growled he launched himself forward aiming for his mother.
The whip lashed out and Gabriel's well planned jump fell short as the metal wrapped around his throat. He dropped to his knees trying desperately to open his airway his claws dragging at the segments of metal around his neck
"Mother no" Sylver shouted he pulled Morgan away from Aura. Gabriel's vision was tunnelling none of the others could get past Aura who was standing in the doorway until Maxwell swung his sword dangerously close to Aura the metal of the whip screeched and broke snapping back and catching Auras face.
"Maxwell" Aura shouted outraged as blood dripped down her cheek.
"Get out" Maxwell hissed Aura looked at all of her children that were around her then she vanished. Morgan ran to Gabriel who was still struggling with the metal around his neck. He saw her mouth move but the pounding of his heart in his ears was louder than her voice.
"Gabriel stop" she cried she found the end of the whip and began unravelling it. Gabriel was on all fours and as his throat opened he began to cough violently.
"Dawn" he managed between coughs.
"Tairas has gone" Sylver knelt down steadying his twin.
Dawn appeared in a flash Tairas at his side. He knelt down and lifted Gabriel's face Gabriel saw the look of anger on Dawn's face as the daemon saw his face. He had bloodshot red rimmed eyes and his lips were a disturbing blue an ugly black bruise was beginning to form around his neck.
Dawn stood and made a beeline for Maxwell who found himself lifted by the collar
"I hope you're satisfied" Dawn hissed he dropped Maxwell unceremoniously the vampyre tripped and landed on his back in the hallway. Dawn helped Sylver stand Gabriel up.
"Dawn, Maxwell was the one that helped Gabriel" Sylver said "the rest of us couldn't get past mother"
"I don't care" Dawn snarled "it was Maxwell that put him in danger in the first place" Gabriel moved away from them all and sat down on the bed and launched into a new coughing fit Morgan sat down next to him.
"Dawn" Gabriel rasped his voice harsh. "We've got to get out of here"
"I agree" Dawn dug in his pocket and produced Amarantine's map and the letter that went with it he handed them to Gabriel.
"Not useful" Gabriel growled handing the letter to Morgan.
"Sorry" Dawn said. "I've got to get the daemons out"
"All right" Gabriel stood up then started to cough again.
"I think we've got around an hour" Dawn put his arm around Gabriel's shoulder "I'm sending Deacon with you. I'll catch up" Gabriel nodded and the daemon vanished.
"Pack a bag guys" Sylver said to the crowd in the doorway "we're leaving."

Differential Rebuild Question
Ok, so I am having a well known 4WD store rebuild my rear diff due to ring and pinion slop and howling. I was told my cross pin was worn as well and they are ordering the part from another of their warehouses. Ok, no problem on that. My question is they are charging me another additional hour or so ($100) to install the "new" cross pin?
I am not the most mechanical but don't you have to take this part out anyway to rebuild the rear diff when doing new R&P and bearings?
So far I am not pleased at all with the service of this "National Chain".
Thoughts are appreciated.
No, on your axle you don't need to pull the cross pin to change ring and pinions. It doesn't take an hour to change it but most shops charge by the hour so that sounds about right.
Thanks for the info! Thought I might be getting hosed.
Not really getting hosed. Just out of curiosity, how much are they charging for the labor total?

Is biocorneum better than scarguard for facelift scars? (Photo)
I was given biocorneum by my plastic surgeon's PAC following my facelift. I asked her what I should get once I ran out(was only given a 20 g botttle)--she said any OTC scar cream. I have looked online, and don't see anything about the effectiveness of biocorneum. I purchased scarguard at the local drug store not knowing how bad it smelled, that it needs to be painted on, can't be in the hairline, and that it has to be removed. Please help. Thank you.

Plato's Scar Serum for a facelift scar
I would recommend Plato's Scar Serum twice daily followed by fractional lasers and pulsed dye laser.

Former high school All-American and St. Benedict's Prep star Jose Angulo will join the New England Revolution for preseason training later this month.
Angulo has yet to reach an agreement with New England but Revs director of soccer Mike Burns believes the club will eventually make Angulo an offer assuming he has a good camp. For those of you who missed the news last week, Major League Soccer granted New England Angulo's rights after the Revs filed a discovery claim on him, meaning Angulo cannot enter the 2008 MLS Draft.
Here is my column/feature in today's Herald News on Angulo. For those of you wondering what European clubs were interested in him, Lazio and Hannover 96 were teams Angulo trained with and clubs he would have had a chance to sign with if not for his desire to return to the United States and deal with some citizenship issues that I discuss in today's story.
One thing that should be noted regarding New England's pursuit of Angulo is that the Revs actually filed discovery claims on Angulo on two different occasions. The first came right after his training stint last summer. The second claim was made on December 10, when teams can submit claims for 2008.
Apparently Columbus, the second team Angulo spent a week training with, failed to submit a claim on him, and based on discovery rules, the Crew would very likely have been granted his rights based on having a worse record than New England. That failure to act could come back to haunt a Crew team that is sorely in need of forward help.
I have spent plenty of time discussing the MLS 'rules' surrounding Angulo's case and while some MLS people insist that the rules were not changed in this case, this decisions still provides a precedent by which players who have recently left high school can essentially ignore the draft and choose to sign with any MLS team they want. Obviously there aren't that many high school players good enough to earn MLS contracts, and usually the ones who are good enough are targeted for Generation adidas contracts, but the league should still institute some sort of rule that serves as a deterrent for high school players looking to copy Angulo's route to MLS.
Read the column and share your thoughts on Angulo's situation below.
I agree with you Ives.
However, as you said, most kids who are good enough out of high school (not many) will be tied up in some way shape or form before hand. Gen Ad, Europe…
I bet if we see 2 or 3 high proflie kids do it
the rule will change, but that is probably far off.
Just as a "what if", what would happen if Angulo trialed with the Revs and they decided to pass on him? Would that allow him to enter the draft? Or, would a team that did want him have to make a deal with New England to acquire his rights?
I'm kind of leaning towards the latter, because the Revs had to file two claims on him for last year and this year.
Just want to understand the MLS rules a bit better.
East River
My problem with this is choice or lack of choice being a potential problem. If this kid had practiced with NE and then stated a preference to go to say NYRB. He would still have to deal with NE, according to how Ives laying out of the discovery rules. What I mean is that once a team likes a player and decides to lay a claim on him, that player's choices become very limited within the world of MLS. Its either don't sign with MLS or accept the reality of who holds your MLS rights.
Same goes for the weighted lottery and to a lesser extent the MLS Super Draft. This situation is why the MLS Players Union filed anti-trust violations, because MLS the parent company of all MLS teams has an unfair market advantage with players wishing to stay in the US and play 1st division soccer. On the flipside it is this unfair market advantage that allowed and still allows MLS to exist in the first play.
Wait, I thought discoveries were first-come, first-served. Why would the Crew get precedence on record?
And would the fact that he trialed so many places be why he is different? Not excusing the flip-flopping on the rule, but that could be a convenient excuse – if you shop your services elsewhere, you are a discovery. But since some potential draft picks do that after their senior year, that's pretty tenuous if the league tries that.
Tim F.
Great article Ives.
It just seems strange to me that any young player that trains with a professional club forfeits his right to enter the draft IF MLS maintains a player draft system.
I don't think the precident here is that bad. Angulo dropped out of High School, or so I gather from the article. He then went around the world on trial as a free agent. The Revolution were smart enough to realize what was going on and picked him up.
This seems more like a cautionary tale for future prospects. If you don't want a single team in control of your MLS future, don't go on trial. Instead, get into the draft.
Additionally, New England is a good place for a young forward to develop. There's not a lot of immediate pressure on him to produce, and there is a strong veteran core there for him to learn from. And it appears that Paul Mariner will be there to help coach him. RBNY seems to be the only place that would be as good or better for him, but he shot that opportunity down when he had a poor trial there.
How good is this kid? Is he good enough to step in as a sub for the Revs immediatley?
Tony in Quakeland
Good article Ives
I hope this kind of feature writing won't become a casualty of your work on the blog. Will you be creating some sort of article archive for this type of work?
Some reports are that the kid is the best goal scorer to come out of St Benedict's. That's a pretty impressive endorsement.
TK, there just needs to be some standard of uniformity here. Either all young players must enter the league through the draft (or youth academy graduation) or don't have a draft. It's that simple.
Otter, from what I understand the Revs could trade his rights to another team, but the impression I get is that it would take an awful showing at camp for Angulo not to be offered a contract.
And Brian, discoveries are first-come, first-serve, but December 10th is the first day of the 2008 cycle of discoveries and if Columbus put in a claim the same day as New England then the 'tie-breaker' would be allocation order, and the Crew is higher on that list due to its poor record.
the people that disagree seem to be thinking too narrowly, as Ives is looking at the big picture here…"thinking short, when you should be thinking long," as Prop Joe would say.
it doesn't matter that NE happens to be the team in this scenario…what matter is that this is a bad precedent being set, and it needs to be stopped…if anything, this hurts the smaller market teams, as teams like RBNY could just use its resources to go around scouting and filing discoveries on the best high school players.
this circumvents both the draft and the youth academies, and i also certainly don't think it's what the league had in mind when it created the "Discovery" rule in the first place.
Angulo's strength are his quickness, ability to run at defenders, nasty left foot and composure in the penalty area. He finishes chances and has the strength to hold off defenders. His biggest issue is fitness, when he's fit he's a beast and the word I get is that he's fit.
One last question on the Angulo front…from me at least.
Do you have any insight as to why it took so long for him to begin the citizenship process? He's been in the states since 3 and I don't believe that the process takes 15 years.
Thanks again.
yo…ive seen jose play multiple times…he isnt good enough to sub for the revs right away…in fact…he is too good for mls…he shouldnt waste his time in the states…he would dominate the mls…jose if your reading this go to lazio haha.

Our Family has had the privilege of being one of the premiere developers in the Turks and Caicos Islands.
Our projects have ranged from a deep water harbor in Bellfield Landing, North Caicos Yacht club and Marina in Sandy Point adjacent to the legendary Parrot Cay resort, numerous Private Homes on both North Caicos and Parrot Cay, including all six bungalows in this subdivision and even the first bridge of its kind in the Turks and Caicos Islands chain. Needless to say we find this little piece of paradise as just that ''Paradise'', a truly special place and we hope that you feel the same.
Once you see that first exquisite sunset you will know why...This truly is a special place.
A Caribbean island getaway! Tyere are 6 bungalows available for rent. Each one will sleep 4. This ia a great location for large groups and events. Everyone has the opportunity to stay together with the luxury and privacy of their own bungalow!
I rented 3 bungalows as well as The Simply the Best on the beach Villa for my son's birthday. Everything was top-notch. The locations were private and afforded us the exclusivity we wanted. The pictures of the bungalows online do them no justice at all. They look 10x better in person than online. Regine, the island manager was the best. She helped me preplan so that my group would have everything we needed when we got there and was an excellent resource on getting around and things to do. I had such a great time, I am already planning a trip back.
When we arrived on a ferry, Regina was there to welcome us and take us to the property. She is amazing and very accommodating.
It is six bungalows with a pool in the middle (the pool is not heated)
The property is very clean and well maintained. It is secluded, so I would recommend renting a car to move around North and Middle Caicos.
The bungalow we had stayed in had everything that our family of 3 needed! We have stayed for 6 nights, it was nice and very comfortable. (except sand flies.... Make sure to pack a bug spray with higher deed content, baby oil seemed to work too )
Once you are on the island, you MUST:
* go to Miss D's BBQ on a Friday. It is where locals and tourists hang out and feels like you are a part of a big family.
* eat at Barracudas for lunch, great grilled Grouper and perfect views.
* make a day trip to Middle Caicos for the most spectacular beach and the most turquoise waters you will ever see! There is a restaurant in the Blue Horizon resort, good for lunch.
* visit the Caves
Over all, great stay but once again be aware of the sand flies on the island!
My wife and I travelled here for a week with our 17 year old daughter.
Regine picked us up from the ferry and quickly showed us around and made sure that we were nicely settled. On arrival we received a complimentary bottle of wine and some delicious cracked conch. She also left us with a cell phone (with her number set up in the contacts) that we could use to contact her, arrange a rental car, or to make a reservation somewhere. Very thoughtful, and quite useful.
I should mention at this point that Regine helped us with our initial planning quite a bit via email before we even got there. She was a great help.
The bungalows were very well laid out, neat and with nice decor and seemingly almost new. The place was immaculate, and we felt very comfortable and happy to be there. Everything we might have needed was there. When we had questions, the amazing Regine was very responsive and helpful. She was an absolute pleasure to meet and to deal with.
"Trade Winds" is one of 6 cottages that are semi randomly spread around a nice large "H" shaped pool and sheltered barbecue area in the middle.
The pool was clean and we used it every day. There is an outside shower to rinse off if you've just come back from the beach before you dip into the pool. There are coconut trees applenty. It would have been wonderful to be able to harvest some coconuts while we were there, unfortunately we could not get a cutlass in the time that we were there. Fortunately the kind gardener did cut one open for us on our second day, but that was it.
The kitchen had everything we could have wanted, and more. Our daughters' first comment while we were unpacking our food was "this kitchen is so much better than ours - it has everything".
We also each had bicycles which were very convenient and fun to ride. They were all in good shape. The cottages are quite close to the beach and there are at least 5 paths that you can take to various parts of the beach. We found the beach to be deserted for the week that we were there. It was wonderful. The beaches overall on the islands were okay. The water was fantastic, the colours breathtaking at times. Visiting North and Middle Caicos for us was a fantastic experience and just what we were looking for. We would go back again in a heartbeat and would certainly consider returning to this little subdivision. If Regine is still there, it would be a strong incentive.
Visit historical Wade's Greene Plantation, take in the amazing sights of Mudjin Harbor on nearby Middle Caicos or take a beachside stroll to beautiful 3 Mary's cay. There's much to see so get out there and get started.
