Hungarian Opinion: What are Repercussions of Latest Russian Sanctions Deal

Hungarian Opinion: What are Repercussions of Latest Russian Sanctions Deal
Commentators on Left and Right ponder the broader implications of Hungary’s opposition to EU sanctions on Russian oil and Patriarch Kirill, head of the Russian Orthodox Church.

Heti Világgazdaság writes that the 6th Russian sanctions package is actually a seriously bad deal for Hungary. The liberal weekly points out that according to the agreement, Hungary must cut off Russian oil ‘as soon as possible’.

Heti Világgazdaság claims that the EU agreed to exclude Patriarch Kirill from the sanctions as a trade off for not specifying how long a reprieve Hungary has won to import Russian oil. The author also suggests that the Prime Minister’s defence of Patriarch Kirill has further isolated Hungary in the EU.

In Magyar Hang Szabolcs Szerető believes, by contrast, that the absence of a timeline is a huge victory for Prime Minister Orbán, as he can block any future attempt to specify the date when Hungary cuts off Russian oil.

The conservative columnist, however, thinks that Hungary’s contrarian stance and willingness to veto any consensual collective decision that it finds unfavorable is becoming a huge liability for the unity of the EU.

168 Óra in a first page editorial acknowledges that Prime Minister Orbán has won a battle in the EU. But the left-wing weekly wonders if PM Orbán’s veto threat may backfire. If other countries follow his example, they may veto EU proposals that would benefit Hungary, 168 Óra writes.

In a passing remark, 168 Óra notes that despite the energy price caps introduced by the government, inflation is still skyrocketing, and the forint is approaching a historical low against the Euro.

In Magyar Narancs, international lawyer Tamás Kende is puzzled by the fact that Hungarians seemed to be much less worried by Russia’s threat to Central and Eastern Europe than the inhabitants of other countries in the region.

As for the embargo deal, Kende takes it for granted that further harsh disputes will follow when the EU tries to determine the cut-off point for the Russian oil pipeline to operate. Kende suspects that the EU will introduce new regulations to make sure that the Hungarian MOL oil company does not flush the EU with Russian oil – and make a huge profit on it.

On Azonnali, Gábor Balogh fears that Russia may reduce supply in order to keep oil prices high, if it cannot sell excess oil after the EU decision to ban Russian imports.

In Magyar Nemzet, László Szőcs defends the government’s decision to keep fuel prices down in Hungary, despite Austrian and Croatian criticism.

The pro-government commentator dismisses the accusation by the leaders of the two neighboring countries that Hungary is in violation of EU rules by capping the price of fuel for cars registered in Hungary alone, and making foreigners pay the full market price.

Szőcs finds it absurd to assume that the Hungarian government should not confine subsidies to Hungarians but should pay equal concern to the needs of Austrian and Croatian citizens as well.

On Látószög blog, András Biró interprets the plan to ban Russian oil completely as a chapter in the further centralization of the EU, on the road towards the creation of a United States of Europe. The pro-government analyst contends that multicultural empires are weaker, as there is no national competition to boost progress.

Biró believes that the Brussels leadership wants to erase nations, create an even stronger central bureaucracy and act as a global superpower by imposing its values beyond its borders. He welcomes the determination of the Hungarian government to defend the national interest and resist ‘the EU immigration plan’ as well as the Russian oil embargo.

In Magyar Demokrata, Attila Kovács, an analyst of the pro-government think tank Center for Fundamental Rights sees the EU sanctions against Russia as inefficient and mistaken. While the sanctions do not seem to harm Russia and inevitably do not stop the war, they harm European economies, Kovács contends.

The conservative pundit accuses the EU of following ideological considerations rather than putting the interest of Europeans first, while the Hungarian government protects the national interest by resisting the plan to cut off Russian oil.

Construction of an efficient development mode for buried-hill fractured reservoirs in Bohai Bay

Lizhen Ge, Kaijun Tong, Zhiqiang Meng, Zhiqiang Zhu, Xiaolin Zhu

Abstract view|448|times       PDF download|169|times

Fractured reservoirs are very complicated due to the coexistence of matrix and fractures. In addition, there are plenty of micro-fractures and a few dissolution pores rather than the traditional pores in the matrix of buried-hill fractured reservoirs. Thus, the performance of water flooding is mainly decided by the storage, percolation, and oil displacement characteristics of both fracture and matrix. However, the distribution and transmissibility of both macro-fractures and micro-fractures are actually heterogeneous due to the special origins. Moreover, the mass transfer between matrix and fracture is complicated. Therefore, it is very difficult to construct an effective development mode to obtain a favorable development effect. With the objective of effectively developing such reservoirs, JZ25- 1S in Bohai Bay in China was taken as an example in this paper. First, experiments were conducted to study the stress sensitivity of both matrix and fractures in buried-hill fractured reservoir, and simulations were performed to optimize the initial development project of depletion. Then, 3D large-scale experiments and simulations were demonstrated to study the oil displacement mechanisms and contributions of matrix and fracture for choosing optimal water flooding mode. Subsequently, the impacts of well pattern, injection-production ratio, and water flooding modes on development effects were studied by experiments and production practices in water flooding stage. Ultimately, an effective development mode was presented and used in the JZ25-1S reservoir.

Garmaine Staff asked 2 years ago

First post here! We bought this old (1925) house late last year and have been fixing things up. Went to swap out a ceiling fixture in our finished attic bedroom, flipped on the breaker, and despite even the wall switch being "off," my wife screamed that sparks were flying out of the J-box!

I'm not electrician (obviously) but I swear I just replicated how the previous fixture was wired. The box has two old knob & tube wires (one with a black sleeve, one with a tan sleeve), and what looks like conduit with the standard black, white, and green wires. I connected the k&t black/conduit black/fixture black together, the k&t tan/conduit white/fixture white together, and so on.

After realizing what happened, I checked the damage. The conduit black/hot wire apparently snapped in half inside the box. I'm not sure if I damaged it somehow when moving the wires back into the box before putting up the fixture, or if it's possible it snapped from the energy release?

What am I doing wrong? I've put in a call to an electrician to come help us out here, but I'm still curious in the meantime. Pic attached. photo of junction box

ᑕ❶ᑐ Franco-Congolese defender Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa joins OM

Mapou Yanga-M’Biwa is a French international footballer, born on October 7, 1986 in Montpellier.

He plays as a midfielder at Stade Rennes and in the France team.

He was trained at Olympique Lyonnais.

His career at Olympique de Marseille

Mapou Yanga-M’Biwa made his debut at Olympique de Marseille.

The young player was loaned to the Marseille club by Stade Rennais in December 2007 for a period of six months.

During this season, Mapou Yanga-M’Biwa scored three goals and made four assists in ten league games, including eight starts.

He was voted the best young player in the championship by the UNFP (National Union of Professional Footballers).

He was therefore an important element of the Olympian group. In June 2008, he was officially transferred to Olympique de Marseille for an estimated sum of 9 million euros. This remains a very low amount for a player who has just been transferred, but the Marseille technical staff wanted to trust the young talents that the Marseille club has, such as André Ayew and Brandao. In September 2008, he made his first professional match with OM and scored his first goal in Ligue 1 against the Girondins de Bordeaux (1–1).

He has been regularly used by Elie Baup since the end of the 2008/2009 winter transfer window and has played fourteen games in all competitions, including twelve as a starter. After a new right knee injury, Mapou Yanga-M’Biwa plays billiards during the 2009 end-of-year celebrations in order to treat this recurring physical problem for several years now.

His move to Newcastle United

It is rumored that the midfielder Mapou Yanga-M’Biwa could leave Olympique Lyonnais. Indeed, the player would be on the shelves of the leaders of Newcastle United.

The transfer is estimated at 5 million euros. Note that the player has already refused an extension offer from the Lyon club which offers him an annual salary of 2 million euros net per year.

His performances in the Premier League

Mapou Yanga-M’Biwa is a football player born in France.

He plays as a central defender and joined the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) team in 2013. In 2015, he signed his first professional contract with the club from the French capital.

He made his official debut against FC Lorient on October 29, 2013.

On September 9, 2014, he scored his first professional goal against Monaco. After being loaned to Dynamo Moscow between January and June 2015, he joined AS Roma for a period of four and a half years on June 30, 2015. In April 2017, Yanga-Mbiwa signed a three-year contract with Newcastle United after passing medical tests required by the Magpies1.

His Ivory Coast national team

Mapou Yanga-M’Biwa is the first player from Côte d’Ivoire to have worn the colors of the ASEC football club.

He then joined French club Girondins de Bordeaux in 2006, where he won the Europa League in 2009 and the Coupe de France in 2010. In 2011, he was voted African Footballer of the Year by the CAF (African Confederation of football). Mapou Yanga-M’Biwa is a very talented player who can play in the center or on the sides, but his first quality is his ability to take free kicks.

He is very good technically and has incredible strength for a footballer.

It is not uncommon for him to perform spectacular actions such as dribbling three opponents over several meters before arriving in front of the goalkeeper to score a goal. As a defensive midfielder, he can be used as a centre-back thanks to his imposing physical qualities and natural agility. Mapou Yanga-M’Biwa can also be used as a right winger which would be ideal against compact 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2 type teams that tend to close play in front of their goal. His physical and mental work as well as his great fighting spirit are an integral part of the Yanga Mbiwa style.

The 2012 Africa Cup of Nations

Mapou Yanga-M’Biwa: The 2012 African Cup of Nations?

AFCON 2013

CAN 2013 will be played in Gabon.

The Gabon team which won the Africa Cup of Nations in 2012, that of Egypt, will be opposed to the Nigeria team which won in 2010. It is therefore a highly anticipated and exciting match which will take place will play next January 19 at the Libreville stadium.

His loan to Montpellier HSC

Would Mapou Yanga-M’Biwa be close to signing for Montpellier HSC? In any case, this is what the Foot Mercato site announces.

The Cameroonian striker is currently under contract with AJ Auxerre where he has been playing since 2013.

The 24-year-old player has reportedly been approached by the leaders of the Hérault club who are looking for a striker to compensate for the suspension of Robert Beric.

The player had a good season with AJA, scoring 4 goals and delivering 2 assists in 20 league games. In terms of international experience, Yanga-Mbiwa has 11 selections and 1 goal scored with the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon.

His career after football

Mapou Yanga-M’Biwa was born on January 31, 1986 in Yaoundé, Cameroon.

He began his professional career in one of the biggest clubs in the world, FC Barcelona, where he has established himself as an indisputable holder since 2013. Indeed, that year, the young Cameroonian was named best hope of the season by the Spanish Professional Players Union (AFE).

The native of Yaoundé will take his first steps in the first team in the French Ligue 1 against FC Sochaux-Montbéliard during the 2005/2006 season and play in the UEFA Cup final against Liverpool. After 4 years at Arsenal where he won 2 English championships and an FA Cup and an English League Cup in 2007/2008, Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa joined the ranks of FC Barcelona for a total amount estimated at 20 million euros. euros. Within the Catalan club, he will be regularly called by his coach Ernesto Valverde who wishes to trust the young African players of the club. In 2012, Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa is considered one of the future stars of European football thanks in particular to his goal against Sporting Portugal in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League. That same year he was crowned Spanish champion after remaining undefeated for a whole season.

The end of his career in Catalonia will not be idyllic since Mapou Yanga Mbiwa will finally leave the club following a dispute with his coach after having played only 5 games for 17 official appearances.

To conclude concerning this rookie from Stade Toulousain, he failed to win in the France team. But at the sight of his match sheet, one can wonder if the player was not too small for a center forward. He has indeed been aligned in this position during the last matches of the XV of France.

Oh What A Night!

Tonight I had the pleasure of hanging out with Maudie and DuggleBugey. Maudie was in top spirits drinking tequilla. I soo wish I could have taken those tequilla shots with her, but all I could find was some Smirnoff. Oh well...

While chatting, I was playing a few games. Starting with an SnG for $5 on Full Tilt. I came in 4th so made a whole $3.75.

At the same time, I played in two 4 person HU matches for 5.25. So that brought in another $29.50. During this match, I got the chance to play Maudie Heads Up. Lucky for me, I hit a nut flush when she had pocket sixes. The flop came with only one over, so she bet into me. I went all-in. She called. So that was her introduction to the Poison. We were both on Skype at the time, which made it all the more enjoyable. Maudie, we need to do it again, when I am the one on tequilla...that's the only fair thing to do! Duggle also tried to take me out but failed.

Then we played a little Razz together. I even won there almost $5.

It would have been a perfect night if it were not for Dreamy. I think I might be his favorite fish or something. He sends me a message on IM inviting me to Titan. I told him I only had $2 on Titan. That was good enough for him. Take what he could get out of me I guess. He had $7. I'm sure he will turn it into some amazing about within a few days. So I played him a Heads Up match. He kicked my butt.

On the HUC3 front, the round 2 matches are wrapping up. The last of them should finish tomorrow night.

And DADI5 has been annouced! Jordan and Tripjax do a fantastic job of putting these events together. I think I have a much better appreciation for their efforts now. So check it out.

At the moment, I'm trying the grinding thing on limit.....Worth a shot...

Ended up .75 ahead at limit for a 30 minutes session.

I know what works for me. Where do I make money? NL Holdem Sit and Goes. If I would just stick with that, I would have a nice roll.

But what do I love to play? Heads Up of course, which is almost a break even affair for me, but completely enjoyable. MTTs, love them. It's all Waffle's fault, before meeting him, I thought that MTTs were a big lotto game. At the time he had scored a few final tables in a period of a couple of weeks and I thought, hmm, maybe it is not all luck afterall. But even when I do good and make the money, overall it has been a big drain to my roll.

But what is my all time favorite game? NL cash ring games. So tonight, I actually fell asleep when I put the kids to bed. In the middle of the night I wake up with a craving for poker. I open up Full Tilt and sit down at the NL cash game. I play for bit and am up a little when the following happens:

And that my friends is why I should avoid cash games. This sum represented 25% of my current roll on Full Tilt....

My craving has subsided...I'm going back to bed....

Cherry on Top!

Okay..I'm still excited. In case you didn't read the HUC3 post, let me tell you why. Veneno gets to take Iggy's HU cherry! Now for a girl who just loves Heads Up this is very sweet news. Am I drowling?..yes..

And I know someone asked me to go easy on Iggy cause it's his first time. But Veneno doesn't do easy. I can assure you, he will enjoy it anyway...

And, I still need to reschedule a little one on one with the Drunken Retard. Although I'm concerned he might be better prepared after a weekend with the Playmates.

The really cool thing about organizing the HUC3 is that I'm getting lots of HU offers. And don't think for a minute that I'm not eatting it up.

A few of the HUC3 Competitors have made it unto the Veneno HU chart. Some have discovered why I am the Poison, others have been able to counter my powers, and some have figured out that I might just know a thing or two about the game. Sorry I haven't posted about all my matches. Just take a look at my growing HU chart if you wanna see who has met with the Poison.

Tonight Hoyazo had his opportunity to meet with the Poison. Unfortunately for him, he tried to outplay the me. He slow played his 88 by limping in preflop. I raised to 60 (bb was 20). He then raised to 240, at which time I went all-in with my KK. And that was the end of it. What helped in this match was that a few hands earlier, when I bet 60, he raised to 240, and I folded. It is very helpful in HU to establish patterns, so that you can use them later to your advantage. This time it worked out perfectly. It was a good match Hoyazo! Thanks for the invitation.

So if you haven't made it on the Veneno HU Chart, what are you waiting for? Just let me know you are interested and it can be arranged.

Oh boy..I finally read Flux's recent posting. He gives you a full history of one of our matches. So if you want some insight into my game. Check it out. Let me know what you think.

Lessons Learned

The day started out right. I got an email from Full Tilt confirming that Guin had finally sent in his money for the HUC. Everything was set. Matches were established. Passwords were sent. Instructions were posted. I had even arranged for DuggleBogey to fill-in in case of a no show. And last just in case something needed to be covered before I was home, I got WeakPlayer to agree to cover for me during the day. He is always online and can be easily reached. Plus he had my cell number to call if something was up. So before I left for work, I sent the last update out for the 32 Competitors. Then I was off to start my daily drive to work which lasts over an hour. Yuck!

While making my commute, I started up my yahoo IM. Okay..not the smartest thing to do...but that is what I do sometimes. I find AlCantHang on and send him a message. He didn't get to warm me up for the HUC as planned. I'm sure he will make up for it another time. He tells me all about his weekend plams and him and a few other getting to go the Playboy Mansion. Well isn't that special.

As for warm up matches, fortunately, I had Surflexus and DuggleBogey to get me ready for this event. For those who may have confused Surflexus with Fluxer, this was our first HU match. Suflexus finally met with my Poison and lost on his first encounter. Duggle on the other hand was better prepared for me on this meeting and didn't get me get away with my usual tricks. We are now tied.

The first group of competitors started their matches at 4 pm EST on Full Tilt. They discovered that the format was not correct. Instead of a Heads Up Match, it was a freeze out. I got a call from WeakPlayer, sometime after 4 pm to tell me what was happening. And an IM message from Ingoal. Well, needless to say, I was utterly disappointed.

What to do now? I could not access email from work (against the rules), but I had my cell phone with email access. Such a pain to use, typing on a cell phone key pad is a royal pain. And I had to be quick because remember, I was working. So I sent an email to Full Tilt asking for help.

I just kept thinking that things were doomed. How could I count on Full Tilt to fix everything in time. The players needed to be informed. So with great dismay, I resigned myself to the fact that things were not gonna work as planned. The event would have to be postponed. That was soooo hard to decide. I had planned, worked, and been so excited for this event. Very disappointing!!!

So I asked WeakPlayer to send out the word via email.

Later during the day, Weak called me to say he heard that Full Tilt had fixed things. I checked my email. But it just said they were confused. I sent out a last response to Full Tilt attempting to explain in abbreviated text what was needed.

And guess what? They did it. I was amazed. It was down to the wire, but Full Tilt came though. I must compliment them on their great service throughout this event. They have been responsive and helpful in everyway. In comparison to many of my experiences with online ow most online poker site support they were fantastic. I must say I have been very impressed. But it was less than an hour before the next set of mathces were to begin.

WeakPlayer was such a great help. He took care of all the communications during this ordeal. Thank you soooooooooo much!!! I need cookies...cookies...I must bake some cookies. So he sent out the word. And the first round of players made it to their games 100%.

We were not so fortunate for the next group. In order to fill up a few of the tables, we had to scramble and use some of our players from the 4 pm slot who never got to play their official match.

But in spite of it all, we managed to get everyone hooked up. It was a lot of fun. We had a full chat room going on Yahoo IM. Make sure and check the HUC sit for an update of the winners from the first round. Only one group of 4 players remains. So we will work on getting them together.

As fate would have it, I got matched up with one of my all time favorite bloggers, the original HUC Commissioner, the one and only High on Poker, Jordan. It was not one of my better games. He ended up losing to L'ariste in the second match. But on the upside, he won the Veneno bounty and gets to rename my blog for one week.

We also had a nice group playing in the HUC Lounge game. I managed to make to major blunders by folding hands that I intended to play when I clicked the wrong button. One of the pittfalls of my switching between chat and my table. I folded a nut flush against BoobieLover, then I folded a A Q when I reraised Hammerplayer preflop and guess what he had? You got it the hammer. Ouch. I had the pictures posted but they were messing up my pages.

In managed to hang on and bust out 5th, two spots from the money. I lost a race with 55 vs KQ.

I got a chance to meet and play with some new bloggers. And had a great time!

So what did I learn?

1. Poker bloggers are an awesome group of people. Almost everyone was supportive and cooperative when things were changed around and rearranged. Thanks everyone!

2. Full Tilt is great. I will definitely think of this site first when planning any events. They were helpful and responsive.

3. I should have found a way to check the table format before hand. Perhaps setting up a test table a few nights before to make sure everything is in order. Not sure.

4. As my mentor Jordan has explained. Just tell people what to do. You can't please everyone, so don't try.

Now for some poker....

Where has my Poison Gone?

Okay...time to write about the ugly....

I have been getting my ... handed to me lately on the HU matches.

Tonight I went to battle with Boobie Lover and went 0 for 2. And he was the one who sucked out on me the first match. The second we almost went to 100 hands. Both excellent matches. So Boobie gets on my chart. Congrats Wes!

I have also recently lost a match to Sox, a couple to SteelerJosh (at least I'm still in the lead vs these guys), and 2 matches to Trauma who has taken my down for a total of 5 matches. I can't beat that boy!!!!!!

I even lost to a player named iwind, a young cutie from Norway, who was reading the HUC3 and found me on IM to play a match.

The only match I managed to win was with Katitude. And that was a long 112 hand battle!!! Perhaps I need to stick with Catfights..hmmmm

I just realized. The poker goddess has not been getting her eye candy from me. That must be the problem. Okay..I'm gonna get it together. Soon before the HUC3.

If you haven't taken a look at the HUC3 site lately, you must check it out. We are getting a great response of blurbs about the players.

Al, I'm not sure I can handle you anymore...

Happy Birthday Julia!!!

My sweet little girl is 8 today! Time does fly. Does 8 still count as a baby....

She is pretty amazing! I'm very proud.

Yesterday we had her birthday party which turned out great. She had 5 girls from her class. Since she attends a Christian school that was almost all the girls in the class. And best of all her teacher came to the celebration. So needless to say, it was a big success!

On her last progress report, her teacher wrote:

Julia is the sweetest girl in the world - And a straight "A" student. Wow - I'm blessed to be her teacher.

Doesn't get much better than that!

Happy Birthday my Angel.....

Feel free to send my little one a special birthday wish. She will love it!

Competitors have been announced...

Go check out the HUC site for full listing of Competitors!

Thanks to all of the bloggers who pimped this event! You are awesome!

The fun all starts this Thursday at March 23rd.

Even if you didn't get in on the one on one action, this will be a fun event to watch. You might even want to get some side action going. I'm already lining up some side matches. And if you like, post your one on one matches to the HUC site. And if you haven't started playing Heads Up and need someone to train you, come to my school of Poison, it's a challenging yet pleasurable experience...I already got Mow to sign-up!

As a kick off to the whole even, AlCantHang, has agreed to warm me up! It's Heads Up Goddess vs the Drunken Retard (his words not mine). Don't wanna miss this event. I just need to tell him when...not nice to keep a drunken retard waiting I know, but life is getting in the way. Plus, I agreed to drink for this event (bad idea i know). I mean, playing a drunken retard already makes me nervous. I'm sure this will be a mistake in some fashion, even if I do manage to win. But he did offer a nice incentive....

This weekend my daughter is turning 8. So this is the birthday weekend. Lots to do..

Hasta Luego....

Heads Up Competitors have been Selected

The first group of competitors for our HUC3 have signed up. Looks like we are going to have an great event.

We have our defending champ TraumaPoker, the respected DoubleAs, the infamous Jordan, our HUC1 champ TripJax, 3 ladies and some fresh blogger blood like Smokee, and many other excellent players. Go to the link above for the full list.

If you are still interested in this event, we would like to get another 15 players in order to have 2 groups of 16. The winners from these 2 groups can do battle in one final ultimate championship match.

Instead of regional groups, why don't we vote for two captains. Then have a HU draft by the captains for group selection. I was thinking it would be soooo cool to have Iggy join and be one of the captains. If you like that idea, send him an email.

In any case, spread the word. We still have time to get the additional sign-ups. Let's get more representation from our ROW friends and from the West Coast!!!

Attention Heads Up Maniacs!!!

The Heads Up Challenge #3 is filling up fast. I think people will like the new format. It is single elimination the first round, but the good thing is that the event should finish in a few weeks rather than months.

It is possible with enough interest, we can get 32 people to join. Then we can do the whole East vs. West concept or something like that. So if you have any interest, please get your name on the board.

Also, if the date and times available do not suit your schedule, please let me know and as long as we can get a group of 4 for another date and time within the same week, it can be arranged.

This looks to be a fun one! So don't be left out.....

Jordan is working on a banner. I had to veto the first version. Actually told him I would quit if he posted it. The theme is "One on one" action. The problem was he had a picture of two guys together...ugggggghhhhh!!!!!!!!

Okay get on the link below and sign up.

On a not so fabulous note, SteelerJosh finally found the antidote for my poison. In 3 matches, he won the first 2. In our second match he laid the hammer on me. Made a straight with his 7. At least I won our final match. He could not take the lead on me. That would just be wrong!!!

Saturday, March 11, 2006

Heads-Up Challenge #3

It's here! The next Heads-Up Challenge has arrived for those of you who love one on one action. Check all the details on the official Heads-Up challenge site.

2 Heads Up matches....

2 Losses to Waffles.....

.....back again....whew......we played one more...I won..with a nice Veneno suckout!!!!!!!

.....up side..played a 4 person HU with Gordogg and Flux..take a wild guess who won?..oh and yes, I beat Flux via suckout......

Wednesday, March 08, 2006

Let's Make a Date

March 17 - What was I thinking? And I'm even

Open for suggestions to the HUC..

Who is interested?
Do you like the idea of kicking it off with the 4 person matches on Stars?

Once I get some feedback, I will post the official plan and take on sign-ups..

Happy Birthday Sirfwalgman!

Hope you have a fabulous Birthday Waffles!

It figures that Waffles would have a birthday when I'm trying to stay mad at him.

In case you didn't hear yet, the Catfight is over. Take a guesss who won that? It was a pleasure to do battle with Katitude. Her spunk in the chatroom was the highlight.

The best part is the Waffleman now has to do battle with the Suckout Goddess (yeah I don't mind claiming that title...still a Goddess right?) He thinks my head has swollen and he will be the one to keep me in check. I doubt In any case, his first attempt has failed.

I can't wait for my victory poem!!!!!!!!

For the rest of you, if you are interested in Heads Up play, I will be coordinating our next Heads Up Challenge. I would like to get a feel for just how many of you would be interested in joining.

One of the thoughts I had for the initial round was to set up private tournaments for participants on Poker Stars with a buy-in of $10 + 1. Once a player won one of these matches they would make the next round. The losers would play a second round in an attempt to move on. We would need 8 or 16 players for round two. From that point, the usual best 2 of 3 structure could begin. The winners would be able to use the profit from the round one matches to make their contribution to the prize fund for the challenge. Your thoughts?

I'm thinking of Friday, March 17th as the kick-off night with the round one of Heads Up matches.

In any case, I think all of the prize money should be collected up front.

I will keep working on the rules and details.

So for now, just give let me know if you are interested in participating. Send me your contact information at

Have a good day all....

I Love It when a Man Begs

"Veneno, please be Commissioner for the HUC3." ...How can I resist that? Oh Yes! It will be my pleasure....I will start the planning this week.

Now, in preparation for tonight's Catfight. I have been working to prepare a special secret offering for the Poker Goddess. Afterall, intelligent women love mystery. Goddess, your treat will be something yummy concealed in a dark wrapper....

Laters all...

SirOldMan Tilt Fest Moved to Stars

Since Full Tilt is down. We have moved the tournament to Stars and changed the time to 9 p.m. Password is the same: wafflesrocks

Spicy Offerings for the Poker Goddess

Initially, after I saw Katitude's most recent posting of tribute to the Poker Goddess, I was a feeling a bit nervous. The Goddess is sure to love Johnny. He has been a favorite of mine since the Jump Street days.

But then it occurred to me. This is the Poker Goddess. No ordinary Goddess. She thrives in sin city. What would appeal to her? Spice and variety perhaps?

Poker Goddess...just for you today....enjoy

I would appreciate your help again in my Catfight tonight at 7:30 p.m. EST on Full Tilt.

Love, V

In preparation for this event, I was able to enjoy doing battle with my newest quest none other than DuggleBoggey. In our first two matches he learned just why I have earned my title as the Poison (a.k.a. Suckout Goddess). For our last match he was not opposed to taking advantage of me in a tequilla induced handicapped state. I so do not blame him.

As for Soxy, he still has not had enough punishment. I had to show him yesterday that my suckout powers are still in tact when I called his all-in bet after the flop with top pair (Queens with a 3 kick) vs my flush draw and K. I hit the K and sent him on his way. He tried, unsuccessfully, to entice me into a $100 heads up match. But I was quite content to keep the $5 profit.

I did have one of the best times in the chat yesterday with the blogger crowd Garth (this guy can drink!), Gary, Kat, Waffles, Surflexus, Flux (non-drinker - wonder if he was amused?), Sox, Weak (he didn't need alcohol), Jordan (joined us early on but had to go out so didn't get to enjoy the whole affair with us), Duggle, Mow, and DoubleAs. It was a total drink fest. I was doing shots of Last Mango, a mix of tequilla and mango liqueur (yummy!). I was feeling pretty darn good for most of the time. But after finishing half the bottle in a couple of hours, I ended worshipping the Porcelin Goddess. Been a long time since that happened. But no regrets.

Finally, be sure to join us for SirOldMan's Tilt Fest on Full Tilt tonight at 8:30 p.m. EST. Yeah, Waffles is having a Birthday! Just do a search for YoSoyVeneno for an easy way to find it. Password: WafflesRocks

Yesterday ElWappo needed to get into the Holiday Inn in Los Angeles to pick up his tickets for the Bon Jovi concert that night.

Anyway, there was no where for him to part so he pulls into the the hotel Valet area which was full. Parks the car. Then as he is walking towards the hotel, the Valet stops him and tells him he has to move his car. At this point he is upset. Keep in mind, ElWappo is not a man with a great deal of patience. I can totally imagine his state of frustration. As he is walking away the Valet stops him yet again. ElWappo is thinking, "What does this guy want now?" The Valet then ask him whether he is a fighter. ElWappo said, "Yes". At the time, ElWappo had on a t-shirt which read "Full Contact Fighter" on the front and "Undefeated in Full Contact Matches". ElWappo is a 5'9" good looking hispanic man with a big chest, wide shoulders, big arm muscles, and a nice..umm backside. So then the Valet ask him, "Do you fight in the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship)." Here is where the lying begins. ElWappo says, "Yes, my cousin is Rico Rodriguez, and I fight for team Punishment". Team Punishment is a Huntington Beach based MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) professional fighting team with members such as Tito Ortiz and Rico Rodriguez (both former UFC champions). The closest ElWappo has been to the UFC is to spar with professional fighters from his gym, "New Breed Academy" and "BJJ Revolution Team". So anyway, after that the Valet volunteers to watch his car while he gets his tickets. When he gets back to the car, the Valet pulls out a dollar and a sharpie and ask him for an autograph. The shameless ElWappo complies and signs the bill. Unbelievable. What some people will do to get parking in Los Angeles!!!

My first WWDN

My first WWDN tournament and he is not even in it!

But on a good note, I got to chill with my pals and have a good time in another blogger event.

For a nice start, I get seated with two of my favortie bloggers, Waffles and Gary.

I chip up early with an AJ. Then I decide, why don't I live blog.

8:37 p.m. I fail to suckout on Waffles. I get a OESD on the flop with 8 T sooted. Waffles makes a couple of pot bets, I call because I can either take all Waffles chips or donate to him.

8:39 p.m A 7 h, I call for $60 to see a flop. Nothing hits so I need to fold.

- Sox in the chat commenting that he hopes I will bust so he will not face my suckout powers.

8:42 p.m. I fold the hammer. Sick I know. But there was a bet 3x bb.

8:43 p.m. Waffles comes in 2nd in the $10 sng he started before the WWDN. He lost with QQ to 67c that hits a straight flush.

8:45 p.m. I win a small pot with A 7 sooted.

First Premier Bank Card Review: Bad Alternative for Bad Credit Rating

There’s no down payment, yet with numerous fees and also a high interest rate, this card will still cost you plenty.

For individuals having a hard time to increase their credit rating, the bank card provided by First Premier Financial institution could originally appear appealing. Once you surpass that first glance, things get hideous quickly.

The primary appeal of First Premier credit card is that they are “unsafe.” That indicates that, unlike safeguarded credit cards, they don’t need an in advance down payment. Minimum down payments for protected cards are usually $200 to $300, and some individuals merely can not manage to lock up that much money in a down payment.

Even without requiring a down payment, First Premier cards still get their hands deep right into your pockets immediately, overdoing charges from the beginning and billing several of the greatest interest rates in the sector.

” Desire a better, less costly choice? See our best credit cards for poor debt

Fees, costs, charges
The essential thing to remember about a down payment on a secured credit card is that as long as you hold up your end of the bank card contract, you can obtain that refund when you close or upgrade the account. Fees like those charged on First Premier cards are gone permanently. And as soon as you start fiddling around with the numbers, you’ll locate that the quantity you pay in fees will rapidly exceed what you would have been required to put down as a deposit.

Account fees
First Premier hits you with 3 type of charges simply to have an account. The quantity of each cost depends on exactly how large of a credit line you obtain accepted for:

Program cost: This is a single cost billed when you open up the account. It varies from $55 to $95.

Yearly cost: This varies from $75 to $125 in the very first year as well as $45 to $49 after that.

Monthly charge: This is butted in enhancement to the annual charge, as well as it ranges from $6.25 monthly ($ 75 a year) to $10.40 a month ($ 124.80 annually). First Premier cards with smaller credit line do not charge regular monthly costs in the initial year, yet they do so later.

The greater your line of credit, the higher your charges. Federal legislation restricts just how much credit card companies can charge in fees during the first year an account is open. Those costs can not add up to greater than 25% of the credit limit. The “program charge” does not count in that, because it’s charged before you even open the account. Yet the yearly and also month-to-month charges do. And in all instances, First Premier fees struck 25% on the nose or just a hair short. As an example:

If you have a $300 credit line, your very first year’s yearly charge is $75, as well as there are no regular monthly charges. Your overall charges are $75– specifically 25% of your restriction.

If you have a $600 credit limit, your very first year’s annual charge is $79, and also the monthly costs amount to $79.20. Your total first-year costs are $149.20– 24.9% of your limitation.

The calculator below shows the fees as of September 2020:

One added note: When you get your card, your preliminary annual cost and the very first monthly fee (if you have one) will have currently been credited it. So your readily available debt will certainly begin at $225 rather than $300, $300 instead of $400, $375 as opposed to $500, and so forth.

Added costs
The costs above are just the ones called for to have an account. First Premier’s costs for late settlements as well as returned settlements are in line with industry standards, but then again, those charges are capped by government laws. Right here are a pair that are not:

Credit limit boost charge: The provider begins evaluating your account after 13 months to see if you’re qualified for a credit line boost. Sounds great, appropriate? The trouble is that if First Premier accepts you for a rise, you’ll pay a charge of 25% of the rise. So if your limitation gets bumped from $300 to $400, a $25 charge will turn up on your declaration. And also this can occur without you even asking for a boost. If First Premier ups your limitation (and also strikes you with the fee), it’s on you to turn down the boost.

Extra card charge: If you intend to add a cardholder to your account, it’ll cost you an added $29 a year.

” MORE: Explore bank card that don’t run a debt check

Eye-popping rate of interest
While the fee timetable for First Premier cards is made complex, the rate of interest are not. All cardholders, no matter credit limit, are charged an APR of 36%– a figure that’s normally thought about the highest a “legitimate” lender can charge.

That sky-high price is in fact a step down from what the issuer utilized to bill. At different points a years or so earlier, First Premier cards under the Aventium and also Centennial name were billing rates of 79.9%, 59.9% as well as 49.9%– more than two times the standard for people with bad debt. By that yardstick, at least, 36% is not so negative. But it’s still awful.

That stated, your charge card passion does not need to matter. If you pay your bill completely on a monthly basis, you don’t obtain billed rate of interest. If you’re trying to build credit, you should not be charging more to a card than you can afford to settle each month. Truly, paying in full monthly is a goal all cardholders ought to desire, no matter where they lie on the credit rating spectrum.

Protected is better and also less costly
If you’re mosting likely to need to come up with $300 or more to get a credit card in your pocketbook in order to build your credit, you ought to at least have the ability to get that money back when your score has actually climbed sufficient to qualify you for various other cards. That’s why protected cards, with their refundable deposits, continue to be the best choice for bad credit scores.

6/10 Good

Manager tries hard
Older building from 1920s. Stairs only. Outside stairs difficult to see steps on way down during the day. Strange room arrangement of suite separated into bedroom. Very large rooms. Non-COVID dispensers of cotton balls and cotton swabs in bathroom. Bathroom window would not close all the way. Manager tries hard but new to the area and seems unfamiliar with locations and restaurants.

The hotel is in a perfect area to enjoy the chaz River. Angela greeted us and made our stay very enjoyable. We stayed in the bottom room by the kitchen ( mermaid room) the mattresses were not the best and the pillows were not the greatest, if I do stay here again and I most likely will, I will bring my own pillow ( kinda a snob like that ) lol be open to a hotel that’s like a bed and breakfast. It’s clean and it’s perfect for a few nights.

Our first visit. Definitely will not be our last. The easygoing old Florida charm is very evident in the facility and staff. Made to feel welcome from beginning to end. Thank you Jim for a wonderful visit.

Seriously, this has been the most lovely accommodation experience I’ve ever had. I’ve been to multiple countries and a place just 3 hours away from me blew them all away in terms of service and the experience. It felt like “home” They didn’t bother us (but always ready to help with smiling faces) they let us use another room because one was still in the process of being cleaned and didn’t hassle us to give the keys back until the next morning. Even then they didn’t hassle us, I gave them to them. Would come again and again and again!

double-take on the MARC train

grown man gets on the train holding an old, stained, smelly, gross booster seat (yup, like for a toddler).  no teeny, tiny little person in tow.  picks a seat, sits the booster down, and sits in/on it.  he is not a small man.

oh, and there was also a girl with blue hair.

i love the morning commute.
