Love Equation

Let

S = the amount of sacrifises from me

g = growth rate (%) of my love for you

t = time period

L = the amount of love in return from you

Ω = my abilities at the very moment

We will have this function,

S (g, t, L, Ω) = ∑{[(1+g)^t][(α + βL) | Ω]}, g > 0, t ≥ 0, β > 1, Ω > 0

Notice that this linear function has an intercept, α, which means if L = 0 (i.e. even if you do not love me in return) then,

S = ∑{α[(1+g)^t]}

(i.e. I will still sacrifise as much as my abilities can afford for you!)

Also, partial differentiating the function with respect of L,

[∂S (g, t, L, Ω)] / (∂L) = ∑{α[(1+g)^t]}

This means that I love you more by each passing day, even more if you love me back...

"Nice Hand" & "Good Luck" - The Nuts

What do "Nice Hand" and "Good Luck" really mean in poker?

Everything I know in life I learned from The Godfather


NEVER discuss the Family business.

Avoid sleeping with the fishes or horse's heads.

Make sure it's your signature on the contract, not your brains.

Keep things business not personal.

Leave the Gun. Take the Cannoli.

If a favour is called back, DO IT!

Be careful when fellow diners come back from the restroom.

Sicilian women are more dangerous than shotguns.

Watch out for kids when you're backing out.

Put your hand in your pocket like you've got a gun, you'll be alright.

Oranges should make you nervous.

Don't look at anyone in the eye, but don't look away either.

Never talk business in front of the kids.

Reasonable men don't have to make assurances.

Don't take sides against the Family.

Remember, women and children can be careless but not men.

With respect comes loyalty.

ALWAYS make them an offer they can't refuse.

Super Size Me - McDonald's Fast Food Test

This shocking video is showing how McDonald's food decomposed over the time of ten weeks... It could be longer but I don't think you want to continue to watch what would have happened after ten weeks!

Caritas numquam excidit... Love never fails...

Latin:
Caritas patiens est, benigna est caritas. Non aemulatur, non agit perperam, non inflatur,non est ambitiosa, non quaerit quae sua sunt, non inritatur, non cogitat malum,non gaudet super iniquitatem congaudet autem veritati. Omnia suffert, omnia credit, omnia sperat, omnia sustinet. Caritas numquam excidit.

English:
Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, (love) is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.

My first win in a multi-table tournament

I won my first multi-table tournament in PKR just now, thank God! Praise the Lord! Below is the hand history taken from the hand history files created by PKR, I only take the final heads-up match because for me, that is the most interesting state of the whole tournament.

I completely come from behind with my chip stack that is 3.5 times behind my opponent! I even used my favourite poker player's most famous quote: "You call it's gonna be all over, baby!" - Scotty Nguyen, to trick my opponent to call.
