ADZ124: Chilling in Toronto and the Trip to London

Matt "ADZ124" Marafioti has been writing prodigiously in the last week and we're only just getting caught up. He fired this one off on the way to London a few days ago.

Read on for tales from back home plus his plans for Europe.

As Daniel said in his blog he thinks I would make for "great TV". It means something coming from him since Daniel definitely has some great jokes himself.

After fighting with him in Monte Carlo face to face and having a serious yelling argument in front of the Pokerstars owner, Eugene Katchalov and UGotaBanana we decided to reconcile our differences and try and understand each other.

Understanding me can be hard sometimes. I can be a hot head, he is absolutely right, and I think it has to do with some incidents I have been in growing up and I am working on my best to change this in the future.

Anyways, now I am off to London with Tom Marchese who is ranked #1 for POY right now, I wanted to steal his title by winning this and then flying to London and some WPT's with him and winning more there but after this beat it seems pretty unattainable with the few remaining tournaments for the year.

The film festival was going on in Toronto the last couple weeks, a lot of celebrities came out for that, 4am last call in Toronto is rare but for this 2 weeks every night was a party. The night before I left for Borgata a girl was sitting at my table at a club called Amber, I went to shake her hand and introduce myself and her response was "what are you like 12?" Hahah. Fiesty I like it.

So I kept talking, pursued my challenge and by the end of the night I ended up going home with her to her place as her dog's watched us do things they shouldn't have (so awkward). By 8am I left her place because I was too drunk to drive then headed to my new house (which is super nice but I am never home!) to get ready for my flight to Philly later that day with two Toronto buddies Shyam, S_dot111 and Dave, muckducks on full tilt (two successfull MTT players).

We had a good time, did not party at all on this trip. The airport in Toronto was hell, I was tired from being up all night with the babysitter and those checkp-in machines tilt me so hard, I was yelling and this women told me she was going to call the police (Yawn hotheaded stupidity).

Obviously in customs I got frisked down (they take me in the back every time because they don?t like me rocking my friend Phil Laak's "Unabomber.net" sticker on my backpack or the $80k that is usually inside of it.

I am in Newark airport now with Reynolds and Tom heading to London to play a 20k pound high roller, the WSOPE main, the 10k turbo and the EPT main. Should be a ton of fun!

Specifically it will be moving into Google's Campus London co-working space -- taking the floor formerly occupied by Springboard/TechStars -- for its next 13-week programme.

Wave Analysis: DJIA Index, Crude Oil

Analysis for August 8th, 2013

DJIA Index

We may assume that the Index made a reverse; earlier the price completed an ascending impulse inside wave [5]. Most likely, after completing a local correction, the instrument will continue moving downwards.

As we can see at the H1 chart, the price formed diagonal triangle pattern inside wave (5). After that, the Index finished a descending impulse and then started forming the second wave. The instrument may start the third wave during the day.

Crude Oil

Oil is still being corrected. The mains scenario is still the same (the price may continue moving upwards inside wave (5), but the deeper the instrument moves, the less plausible this scenario may seem. However, it will remain in effect until the price breaks a local minimum.

More detailed wave structure is shown on the H1 chart. Wave (4) took the form of double zigzag pattern. On the minor wave level, the price is completing wave 2 and may start forming the third one in the nearest future.

ISLAMABAD (AP) ? The State Department has warned Americans not to travel to Pakistan and evacuated nonessential government personnel from the country's second largest city because of a specific threat to the consulate there, a U.S. official said Friday.

The move was not related to the threat of an al-Qaida attack that prompted Washington to close temporarily 19 diplomatic posts in the Middle East and Africa.

According to U.S. Embassy spokeswoman Meghan Gregonis, the U.S. is shifting its nonessential staff from the consulate in the eastern Pakistani city of Lahore to the capital, Islamabad.

Emergency personnel will stay in Lahore, and embassy officials do not know when the consulate will reopen, she said.

"We received information regarding a threat to the consulate," said Gregonis. "As a precautionary measure, we are undertaking a drawdown of all except emergency personnel."

The consulate in Lahore was already scheduled to be closed for the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr from Thursday through Sunday.

The personnel drawdown at the Lahore consulate was precautionary and wasn't related to the recent closures of numerous U.S. diplomatic missions in the Muslim world, said two U.S. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the order.

Earlier this week, 19 U.S. diplomatic outposts in 16 countries in the Middle East and Africa were closed to the public through Saturday and nonessential personnel were evacuated from the U.S. Embassy in Yemen after U.S. intelligence officials said they had intercepted a recent message from al-Qaida's top leader about plans for a major terror attack.

None of the consulates in Pakistan or the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad were affected by the earlier closures.

On Thursday, the State Department issued a travel warning saying the presence of several foreign and indigenous terrorist groups posed a potential danger to U.S. citizens throughout Pakistan.

The country has faced a bloody insurgency by the Pakistani Taliban and their allies in recent years that has killed over 40,000 civilians and security personnel, and is also believed to be home base for al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahiri. Most of the militant attacks have been in the northwest and southwest along the border with Afghanistan.

Gunmen killed six people and wounded 15 others Friday in an attack on a former lawmaker outside a mosque in Quetta, the capital of southwest Baluchistan province, said police officer Bashir Ahmad Barohi. The lawmaker escaped unharmed. A day earlier, a Taliban suicide bomber killed 30 people at a police funeral in Quetta.

Pakistan's major cities, including Lahore, have also experienced periodic attacks.

A powerful bomb exploded at a busy market street in Lahore in early July, killing at least four people and wounding nearly 50.

Lahore is considered Pakistan's cultural capital and has a population of at least 10 million people.

A CIA contractor shot to death two Pakistanis in Lahore in January 2011 who he said were trying to rob him. The incident severely damaged relations between Pakistan and the U.S. The contractor, Raymond Davis, was released by Pakistan in March 2011 after the families of the victims were paid over $2 million.

Police: 4 dead, 4 wounded in Dallas-area shootings

DALLAS (AP) ? A suspect in the fatal shootings of four people in two Dallas-area homes was in custody Thursday as police tried to determine what prompted the attacks just minutes apart and whether an explosive was used.

Four people were also wounded in the attacks. The first shooting took place at a house in southwest Dallas late Wednesday and another was about 15 minutes later in DeSoto, some 10 miles away, Dallas police Sgt. Warren Mitchell said.

Investigators arrested Erbie Bowser Wednesday night at the second crime scene, but they have no information about Bowser's relationship with any of the victims, DeSoto police Cpt. Melissa Franks said.

Charges were pending, Franks said.

Police were called around 10:30 p.m. to a home in southwest Dallas where they found four gunshot victims, two of whom had died, Mitchell said. The suspect then fled to DeSoto, where he is suspected of killing two people. Two boys, aged 11 and 13, survived that attack, DeSoto said.

Police did not immediately release the identities of those killed and wounded in the attacks, and the conditions of the survivors were not known Thursday.

A neighbor in DeSoto, Tommy Johnson, said he heard a loud boom Wednesday night coming from the direction of the home where the victims were later found.

"We thought it was coming from upstairs, because the kids are always upstairs making noise," Johnson said. "I went up and asked, 'Did y'all hear anything?' and one of my daughters said it came from outside. So I peeped out the front and that's when I saw a bunch of officers walking down the sidewalk and about 10 houses up."

Franks said she could not confirm that a grenade or other explosive device had been used in the DeSoto attack, pending the results of an ATF and Dallas bomb squad investigation.

Neighbors wearing nightclothes came out of their homes before dawn Thursday to watch as police investigated the DeSoto crime scene.
