After the global success of the hit romantic comedy series What's Wrong With Secretary Kim, the global status and fame of Park Seo Joon have skyrocketed, leading to more fans who are curious about him. While his career did not necessarily reach immediate fame, his sheer hard work and perseverance eventually landed him as one of the hottest and most inspiring Asian Actors.
After filming the hit TV series Hwarang, Park Seo Joon became really good friends with co-actors Park Hyung Sik and BTS Kim Taehyung. Seeing that he is the oldest actor among them, he became their guide and mentor. Both Park Hyung Sik and BTS Kim Taehyung have expressed their admiration and support for Park Seo Joon. After the hit series Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth, they still contact and meet each other for a drink or two, and usually, it is the BTS star Kim Taehyung who usually encourages them to go out together.
2.Park Seo Joon is an introvert, he is not described as a party person and would rather keep to himself in private. When around his friends he is most quiet, there are not a lot of photos showing him partying out- he is a very private person.
3. Park Seo Joon is actually a good singer and has an album on Spotify and other music channels, although he was caught seeing in a bad tune in most of his Koreanovelas like Fight For My Way and She Was Pretty, the real voice of Park Seo Joon is so smooth. Even if he was not an actor, this guy is sure to land a music contract due to the soothing and calming quality of his voice. Try listening to some of this song for Hwarang and other romantic comedies he has done. In the scene where he has a piano and he proposed on What's Wrong With Secretary Kim, he was singing with his real voice.
5. He became so good at what he does, that his acting is natural. Park Seo Joon said, that he does not like it when he can tell someone is acting. This is why he plays his role with ease and comfort, he wants to be relaxed and able to listen to others, so he can express his thoughts well. Because his life was ordinary for the last 20 years of his life, it became easy for him to take on roles about struggling Korean Youths. He has struggled himself for the most part and lived a normal life, that is why when he acts in a Korean drama series the effect is natural.
6. Park Seo Joon before becoming famous, attended hagwon, or after school classes. He has experienced the life of middle-class Koreans, that is why he said that even if he became famous later on in life and after the age of 25, it became his strength. Starting late in the Korean industry was not a weak thing, rather a strong thing for him.
7. When interviewed how he was similar to the character Go Dong-man in " Fight My Way" Park Seo Joon said that before becoming a famous celebrity, he himself lived in a small 285 aq. Foot studio apartment like his character, during the filming of the Korean series, he remembered his old life, the set of Dong Man's apartment was very nostalgic for him.
8. After being released from the military, Park Seo Joon realized that he was naive about the world and learned the hard way. "When I was discharged from the army, I also thought that 'things will work out exactly how I want them to.' But when I faced reality, I saw the world keeps spinning even if I have nothing. I realized that I am just like a speck of dust in comparison to the world," he said adding, "So, there may be those who saw Dong Man's sudden outburst as just humor, but I strongly tried to portray that line so that it could be impactful to those with big dreams." Like Dong-man, he just believed that he will just do it, even if he doesn't succeed, he will just for it, and he did!
" The actor was once confused about whether he had to live as a man of integrity. Park felt it is impossible to live righteously only if he has to act out various emotions and roles. But after witnessing young fans following his characters and hairstyle he owned in the TV dramas, Park learned that his influence in the public is far bigger than he thought.
"People following my hairstyle and fashion is a small part that helps me behave when I'm off screen. The major reason is that I am an actor and have to make people share their feelings with me. If they know I am a different person in real life, it is impossible to make them believe in my characters on the screen," the actor said.Park, who was born the eldest of three sons, always controlled himself in front of his brothers. He was worried they could follow his wrongdoings if he deviated from the exemplary life he lived. As a result, he became quiet and inexpressive at home.
"I still restrain myself when I go home. My parents would be surprised at how lively I become when I am out with my friends. This is my weakness but I have strengths too. I have leadership. I like to lead people and make a lively atmosphere at film shoots," Park said.
"When I am acting on site, everybody focuses on me. So when I become sensitive, people find it difficult to talk to me. When I am happy, the atmosphere at work becomes lively too. So I try to force myself to feel good and act happy most of the time," he said.
Actor Park Seo Joon became so famous in countries like Japan and is even entering China and the United States domain, because of these luxury brands like Laneige have signed him on as their skin care endorser. Big brands like Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream are now opening to Korean influencers and other Asian influencers as skin care brands and marketing have become personalized. More and more people are also focusing on Asian influencers, that is why big skincare brands like Elemis.

David Nolan Gallery presents its 8th exhibition of work by the celebrated Scottish artist, Ian Hamilton Finlay (1925-2006). The exhibition focuses on an array of the artist's "maritime" works. The sea, together with the vessels that venture upon and qualifiedly domesticate it, is a theme that has coursed through Finlay's work since his earliest poems, cards and artist's books of the 1950s and '60s. The works gathered here span five decades.
Words or written symbols set upon materials like wood or stone automatically become inscriptions, and over time Finlay came to both powerfully and hauntingly exploit inscription's special character as a commemorative, or memorializing, device. The pear in Au Pair is a perfect rounded fruit, with a little fillip of sauciness to its contour: a girl idealized – and metaphorically preserved – in recollection. The girl is invoked yet necessarily remains forever absent. The title of the current exhibition is the title of a 1968 concrete poem that reappears here, in full, as a sear-white inscription on a tablet of dark glass. The poem's "nets," "lights," "fish" and "roofs," conjured with tender simplicity, have been transformed into interchanging images that mediate between raw nature (a black "ring of waves") and a transcendent, metaphysical light. This work, a landscape of the artist's thought and a brilliant exercise in verbal economy, is at once elegiac and exultant.
In the main gallery, the large horizontal ceramic work Wave Rock (1974-5) describes another landscape, a shoreline where the sea's recurring "wave"s break upon and mingle with the land's "rock"s. Here, the points at which the two opposed elements (water and earth), the two different words, collide a third word, "wrack" – or living seaweed – tentatively emerges. This work, like others of Finlay's, both chronicles and re-enacts the complex, contradictory relation between the natural and the humanly constructed worlds, between Nature and Culture: nature (sea, rock, earth, woods, wind, wildflowers, stars) can only be represented and made intelligible to us when ordered through cultural constructs (through language or visual tropes) that perforce belie Nature's essential untamed "naturalness." We have been given, perhaps, the action of the sea but in words and images only – suggestively, circuitously, abstractly, beautifully.
The early stone sculpture, The Fisherman's Cross (1967), alludes by title to both early Christianity (fishers of men, ΙΧΘΥΣ or the Icthys cross) and the crosses placed to commemorate loved ones lost at sea. The repetition of the word "seas" shapes a cruciform but also implies endless, circling movement like that of the ocean or life itself. The single word "ease," at the work's still center, is a longed-for idyllic state – a static place rather than a shifting condition – achieved, however, only in death. The mainspring of meaning in all Finlay's art is metaphor, or the coupling, within a single work, of radically unlike terms (e.g., seas/ease/cross, wave/rock, pear/au pair/girl, sea poppy/fishing boats/a constellation of stars, hazel grove/ship, swallow/anchor, chrysalis/propeller, etc.). These unlike terms, when linked together, begin to reverberate, as we search for their relation or connection. They are brought by Finlay to behave as "multivalent" pointers, or mutable invocatory signs. Through metaphor, the sea or stone or cloud, fishing boat or anchor or bell, is lifted out of the literal universe into the realm of the imagination, of culture. With this "transfiguration" of terms, however, comes the inescapable loss of the real thing.
Ian Hamilton Finlay was born in Nassau, the Bahamas, and moved to Scotland as a child. The artist's renowned garden "Little Sparta," in southern Scotland, is a prolonged meditation upon the relation of nature and culture, borrowing many of its forms from the English Neoclassical landscape tradition.
This exhibition, curated by Pia Simig, has been organized in collaboration with the Ian Hamilton Finlay estate. The above text has been prepared by Prudence Carlson.


Arsenal attacker, Alex Iwobi has gained fresh glowing words from Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr, who admits he has been impressed by the star's efforts to fit in as the national team's latest playmaker.
Rohr, though, noted further that Iwobi is doing more than a playmaker, as he does not just stop at playing through the middle, but can also do a great job down the flanks.
Footballlive.ng gathered that Rohr is awed by Iwobi's abilities to play as a winger and still throw crucial passes when necessary, as he links up in an almost perfect manner with all his teammates through the middle.
Thought the Franco-German gaffer further said he has other players in the Eagles that are capable of playing the same role as Iwobi is doing for the team, he admits that the Arsenal star has been outstanding so far.
Rohr stated: "Alex is playing better and better and his enthusiasm on the pitch is good for our team.
"A natural evolution made him a playmaker, but he can also come from a wing and play with the others in his special style.


Despite its compact design the SIMATIC ET 200SP proves to be one of the most powerful distributed IO systems.
High-performance automation solutions with distributed I/O systems are only possible by means of industrial communication. The powerful Ethernet standard for automation offers high-performance transmission of large volumes of data. With the shortest cycle times, PROFINET also provides sufficient reserves for future requirements. The isochronous operation of the backplane bus of SIMATIC ET 200SP permits low-jitter transmission of data – and therefore maximum precision.
SIMATIC ET 200SP also enables safety-related communication. The safety modules for DI and DO conform with the standard modules in terms of size. Their functional safety is certified in accordance with EN 61508 and they are designed for safety-related use at up to SIL3 according to EN 62061 and PL e according to ISO 13849. One particular feature of the F-modules of SIMATIC ET 200SP is that the F-addresses no longer have to be set manually by means of the DIL switches on the module. They are now assigned by means of the engineering during commissioning which simplifies the setting process and saves time.
With SIMATIC ET 200SP, hot swapping is also possible in the case of multiple modules (multi hot swapping). This means that several modules can be removed and replaced at the same time during system operation. In this way, only the affected modules are out of service and not the entire station. This reduces downtimes and raises productivity, as unaffected system components of the ET 200SP continue in operation.
SIMATIC ET 200SP with PROFIenergy increases energy efficiency in automation.
PROFIenergy reduces the system energy consumption by performing a controlled switch-off during user's breaks and machine idle time. SIMATIC ET 200SP itself has a very low energy consumption due to its special housing.
For use under extremely harsh industrial conditions, such as extended temperature ranges (incl. condensation) or athmospheres laden with corrosive gases, Siemens offers the refined variant SIPLUS ET 200SP that is based on SIMATIC components - as part of the SIPLUS extreme family.
AS-Interface is the simple and effective bus system that links all sensors and actuators of the lowest field level with the ET 200SP or a higher-level controller by means of a yellow two-wire cable – and this can all now be done on a safety-related basis by means of ASIsafe.
The CM AS-i master in the ET 200SP permits the connection of up to 62 sensors and actuators. And with the AS-I Safety Module the AS-I network can be expanded safely without additional wiring in SIL3 according to EN 62061 and PL e according to ISO 13849. Both standard and safety-related data can be exchanged completely and transparently via PROFINET or PROFIBUS and AS-Interface.
IO-Link ensures uniform interfacing of switching devices, sensors or RFID devices with the control level using a cost-effective point-to-point link. The IO Link master SIMATIC ET 200SP is based on IO-Link specification V1.11. One of the benefits ist storage of IO-Link device parameters (and maser parameters) in the master. This means that when a device is replaced, the current parameters are automatically transferred to the replacement IO Link device - without any additional application outlay for the user.
The SIMATIC ET 200SP interface module is also available with a PROFIBUS interface. PROFIBUS is a field-proven communication standard that is widely used today.
From the conductor, plug box, back panel to the PROFINET cable of the SIMATIC ET 200SP, they are designed with a consistent shield concept to ensure the highest possible electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) protection. The benefits of this design are improved signal quality and increased communication reliability.

Ethiopia's Population Growth-It's Consequence
The overpopulation in Ethiopia is concerning. The population is approaching the 100 million mark. With the increase of population comes adverse problems such as scarcity of resources, rampant corruption, and a rise in crimes. The government will also face challenges in trying to manage the pressure from the high number of citizens that need jobs, sanitation, and housing.
Ethiopia's Population Growth-It's Consequence
The population of Ethiopia is growing and close to reaching the 100 million mark. My own contemporaries have become grandparents like myself. I have four adult children. Three of them have children of their own. I have somehow contributed to the increase, but on the larger scale, the climb is concerning. The population is growing exponentially.
With lower mortality rates than a few years ago, the number is bound to increase in the country. This coupled with the age-old culture of bearing a lot of children, usually more than two, has led the country to grapple with overpopulation.
The capital city is more affected than other smaller towns and villages for at least two reasons. The pull factor and the push factors are at play. Push and pull factors are factors which either compellingly push people into migration or attract them. A push factor is forceful, and a factor which relates to the country from which a person migrates. It is generally some problem which results in people wanting to move.
People from all regional states come to Addis Abeba, with hopes as big as the bags they pack. A promise of a better life and more job opportunities. But as people young and old crowd the city, it poses other challenges for the city administration.
There is no denying that in an agrarian economy if the land is not owned by the farmer because of government policies, people will have no option but to move to cities and big towns. When these people arrive in the city in huge numbers, they overpopulate the city and pose challenges to management as they struggle to settle in, find a job, and a place to live.
This will evidently increase the population of the towns and cities under consideration. The effects are cumulative. Demand for goods and services will soar higher than their supply. More often than not the demands cannot be met.
Even basic needs such as housing and sanitation will be difficult to provide. Not to mention the price of rent in the city that is causing a lot of havoc on residents because of high prices they need to pay for seemingly low quality and tight spaces.
The waste disposal system for over-packed cities is a headache to manage for any administration. As the people pack into the city this must be considered. Especially, since the Qoshe landslide disaster that claimed the lives of hundreds of citizens happened at a dumpsite that was filled above its capacity.
The increase of population is a liability. But this trend puts pressure on the ruling party and prompts party members to be susceptible to compete for self-enrichment at all cost. This might aggravate the problems that the administration is already working on to eradicate.
Corruption becomes rampant. People in high positions and officials fall into the booby trap of using their office or authority and responsibility for their personal benefits. The lack of transparency and maladministration go unheeded. As the population increase it will cause a scarcity of resources, and sink the country deeper into issues of corruption and selfishness.
The other count of the population growth is also very critical from the unemployment perspective. Since the country is overpopulated, it gives rise to unemployment as there are fewer jobs available to support the large number of job-seekers. When a single vacant job position posts are put up, thousands of job-seekers are ready to apply. Unemployment also leads to a spike in crime amongst the society, people without jobs will steal to feed their family and provide the basic amenities of life.
Overpopulation can be a breeding ground for conflict, when resources, especially in African countries become strained. Conflicts over issues such as water become a source of contention between countries, which could result in the outbreak of wars. It causes diseases to spread and makes them harder to control. Starvation will also be a plaguing issue for the government to deal with. Poverty will be extensive, this is the downfall of a country facing overpopulation.
All of this will only become worse if solutions are not sought out for the factors affecting our population. We can no longer prevent it, but there are ways to control it from having a profund effect on the economy.

Her name is Rhonda and she is FuNkY
"Her name is Rhonda & she is funky" - prince
Redefining the role of gifted musicians, bass player Rhonda Smith encapsulates all the attributes of a legend in the making.
This sultry songstress is lyrically sophisticated with an emotional depth that is both incomparable and technically brilliant. As an innovative musician and visionary, she has sparked several genres of music including smooth jazz/funk and electrified funk/rock.
With an enviable career that has spanned over two decades, it is no surprise that Rhonda hails from musical lineage. Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, the family moved to the French and Jazz-influenced Montreal while Rhonda was still a child. There, she was surrounded by the sounds of piano riffs, her mother's instrument of choice, as well as a lot of rock & roll. As a child, Rhonda and her three musically-inclined siblings, learned how to play the baritone horn, keyboard, guitar, and of course, bass. "My older brother is the reason why I play bass. He brought a bass home one day and told me not to touch it."
In an effort to deepen her connection to music, Rhonda attended McGill University in Montreal where she studied jazz performance. During her college stint, she began touring as one of a small group of female artists within the local male dominated rock music scene. This experience helped to build her chops when it came time for Rhonda to win the respect and admiration of her male counterparts. She went on to work with many notable Canadian artists including Claude Dubois, Daniel Lavoie, Robert Charlebois, and Joanne Blouin. She won a coveted Juno Award (The Canadian equivalent of a Grammy) for Best Contemporary Jazz Album for her work with Jim Hillman and The Merlin Factor.
A chance meeting with Sheila E. at a music convention in Germany opened the doors to Rhonda's lengthy tenure with his Royal Badness, Prince. "Sheila knew that Prince was putting a new band together so I gave her my press kit and she sent it to him. I didn't hear from him for 2 months and I thought he wasn't going to call… but thankfully he did. I flew up to Paisley Park and my audition was basically a jam session with him and a drummer. Suffice it to say he liked what he heard. The same day he had me in the studio recording bass parts on the Emancipation album."
Having received International acclaim for her various contributions and collaborations, it wasn't long before Rhonda took the United States by storm. In addition to the near decade she spent along side Prince, Rhonda has performed with the likes of Chaka Khan, Beyonce, T. I., Erykah Badu, Patti Austin, Patrice Rushen, Brenda Russell, Lee Ritenour, Larry Graham, Patti Labelle, Little Richard, Najee, Candy Dulfer, Rachel Farrell, Kirk Whalum and George Clinton.
With an innate desire to extend her reach, Rhonda has managed to step outside of music and broaden her imprint. She has been featured in numerous music videos, appeared on the covers of Bass Player and Bassics magazines and even spent stints with The Martin Short Show and The Wayne Brady Show. She has 3 Platinum Plaques on her wall and in 2004 played for 1.4 million attendees over 88 sold-out dates on Prince's wildly successful Musicology Tour.
Despite her bevy of accomplishments, there was yet another frontier that Rhonda was compelled to conquer. Recording Artist. Released in 2000, "Intellipop" marked Rhonda's first release as a soloist. Taking the incalculable experience of working alongside some of the industry's most revered pioneering talents, along with a treasure trove of perfect melodies, Rhonda skillfully packaged it all in a disc that earned her the respect she rightfully deserves.
RS2, Rhonda's sophomore CD, is a breakout and breakthrough record that beautifully showcases the genius talent this gifted musician possesses. "My approach to music is always 110 percent and I love to play and write about what I feel at that moment and let what comes out of me come out and I hope that people dig it." The album includes a surprising duet with gospel superstar Fred Hammond among other memorable collaborations. The diversity and musicality of the album asserts clearly that Rhonda has cultivated her own unique identity and sound. "This record tells a story. We made a conscious effort to assemble an album that people can listen to from top to bottom without having to hit the skip button. No filler allowed."
While riding the high of RS2, Rhonda agreed to lend her extraordinary talent to the formation of the all-girl super group, C.O.E.D. (Chronicles of Every Diva.) Teaming up with some of the most famous female musicians of our time, Rhonda joined the ranks of legendary percussionist Sheila E., keyboardist, Cassondra O'Neal, guitarist, Kat Dyson, and saxophonist, Candy Dulfer. As the stage is being set for C.O.E.D. to dominate the Rock & Funk worlds respectively, Rhonda has also spent time cultivating her own band, Rhonda Smith and Karma Deuce. In typical Rhonda Smith fashion, the band has already been featured on Michael Baisden's Baisden After Dark and has enjoyed touring success in Europe. As if her creative cup wasn't full, Rhonda can also be found currently touring with guitar legend, Jeff Beck.
It is clear that Rhonda Smith is a musical anomaly. Beauty. Unmistakable talent. Vision. Rhonda's uncanny ability to communicate her every emotion through her music has made her a highly sought after musician and artist. Her tireless work ethic, focus, and desire to be better than good has fueled her two decades in the spotlight. With a creative force like Rhonda it's safe to say that twenty years from now she will have pushed through even more barriers and have amassed a legacy worthy of the history books.

Turo.com has added the best option!
So recently, I had discovered the service called Turo (formerly RelayRides). Basically it is like Airbnb, but for cars! People rent out their personal vehicles and you can choose from some interesting vehicles. I ended up with a manual mini cooper S with leaking oil and bald tires, but it was still fun and worth it. Anyways, they just added a transmission choice to the search options! So I will definitely be researching my next trip on there.

Real Name: Fernando Torres
Occupation: Criminal; former gang-member
Group Membership: Former member of the Stone Perfs
Affiliations: Agent of Lotus Newmark;
ally of Reynaldo Cortizar, Auggie Slater
Enemies: Hawkeye, Stone Perfs, Terminizer
Aliases: Prince Charming
Base of Operations: Los Angeles and Hollywood, California
First Appearance: Avengers Spotlight I#30 (March, 1990)
Powers/Abilities: Prince is reasonably experienced in hand-to-hand combat, as well as the use of knives and guns.
History: Prince was a member of a street gang known as the Stone Perfs, who performed illegal activities for the business woman Lotus Newmark.
(Avengers Spotlight I#30) - Prince was among the group of Stone Perfs who committed a drive-by shooting against rival gangsters that injured and killed several innocents. Hawkeye and Mockingbird captured Prince and all but one of the involved Stone Perfs. Later, Hawkeye tried to question Prince while he was in custody, but he refused to give up any info.
(Avengers Spotlight I#31) - Lotus' man Slater bailed Prince out and informed him that he believed that he would not be able to be proven to have been involved with the drive-by. Slater then brought Prince to Lotus' Hollywood house, where Lotus instructed him to act as Reynaldo Cortizar's driver. Prince drove Cortizar in a nearly successful assassination attempt against Hawkeye, but Prince fled as soon as as Hawkeye gained the upper hand.
(Avengers Spotlight I#32) - Lotus chastised Prince for not attempting to take out Hawkeye himself, and she easily showed him who was the master, by battering him about and then lacerating his abdomen with her bare hand.
(Avengers Spotlight I#33) - Lotus instructed Prince to wipe out his former gang members because they were attracting too much attention in their struggles against Hawkeye. As per her instructions, Prince told the entire gang to meet him at Korman Quarry.
(Avengers Spotlight I#34) - Prince watched from a safe distance as agents of Lotus dropped incendiary bombs on the Stone Perfs, killing all present in the Quarry, and leaving Prince the last surviving member. As Lotus had instructed him, he sprayed a "Circle-T" on the side of the canyon to frame the killings on the mysterious Terminizer who had been killing many of the Stone Perfs.
Lotus rewarded Prince for his performance with quite a performance of her own.
(Avengers Spotlight I#36) - Prince accompanied Lotus to her mansion in Beverly Hills, where she told him of her origins. Later, the next day, Prince was identified as one of the Stone Perfs by young Luis Guitterez, who pointed him out to Hawkeye. Hawkeye confronted Prince, who pulled a gun on him. Hawkeye struggled with Prince over the gun, which fired and hit Luis' sister Anita in the chest. With Hawkeye distracted by the screaming family, Prince hit him in the head with his gun. Before Prince could shoot, a pair of cops arrived, and Prince shot them and then grabbed Hawkeye's remote control device for his Sky-Cycle. Prince took off on the Sky-Cycle, flying it all the way to Lotus' mansion. Lotus slashed Prince's face for drawing attention to her once again, and threatened to kill him if he didn't leave immediately.
Meanwhile, Hawkeye had had another Cycle delivered to him and he located Prince and tackled him off of his Cycle. Hawkeye beat Prince easily, but stopped short of killing him, not wanting to sink to his level. However, Prince then rolled over and pulled his gun on Hawkeye, intending to kill the Avenger. Suddenly a spray of bullets from the Terminizer above nearly cut Prince in half, killing the last member of the Stone Perfs.

March 28, 2004 Linda
Ha! I do believe in magic and I'm enjoying every second of it. I have five days off and happen to be sharing them with my oldest granddaughter, Jasmine. She's here on Spring Break. A beauty queen that soon will be 17 years young. If you visit this page, you will see her graduating from Poker 101…where the hell did the years go?
Before I escaped the Poker Room on an E/O, several points of interest. I found them to be interesting anyway. I dealt a lively $30-$60 Holdem game. Three of the gents in the game spoke the same language (yes…along with English). What this language was, I still have no idea. I'm horrible on nationalities and languages…I just assume that everyone is just like me so I never differentiate or look beyond my realm of "People". People? Me, you, us, we…that should say it all.
The three guys were in the 3s, the 5s, and the 7s. The 7s was a hot headed, gambling, ready to explode kind of guy. The 3s was calm and chuckling over most of the show. The 5s really liked to gamble but he drifted in and out of pots without behaving as if he was going to have to go "Postal" when he lost a hand.
Karina J. was in the 6s. I have a lot of history with her. She's been around since the early Mirage Days…even before she was old enough to be in the poker room, she was in there jamming. Her mom and dad both played a lot in those days.
Kenny was in the 3s. He was instigating action when I sat down. The previous pot was huge. He was trying to get everyone to agree to all go to "cap" before the Flop. That way they would win a pot that was well over $3,000 each hand (that was according to him).
Some of the players were up for it and some weren't. Kenny prompted those that weren't to get on the transfer list because there were players that wanted to play that way and would transfer into this game.
Remarkably, the 7s told Kenny that he wasn't transferring and he didn't want to play that way so they weren't going to "play" Kenny's game.
Long and short of it, the verbal arguments and coaxings went on. So did the gambling. Finally, right at the end of my down, the 5s, Karina, and the 7s went to war.
The pot was huge. The 7s Flopped Aces and Queens, the Turn brought Karina and the 5s a split pot with an Ace High Straight. All the bets and raises went in on the Turn and River.
By this time, the 5s had picked up three sweaters, they were standing behind him, watching and exclaiming…same foreign language.
When the smoke cleared and hands were shown, the 7s stood up, swearing like a lunatic logger from the North Pole, breathing fire and spewing out flaming explitives, he launched his cards at me. One hit me in the shoulder and the other hit the floor.
He never apologized or even acted like he gave a damn if one of them took my head off…he continued swearing and looking around as if he'd had a dagger shoved into his heart by the woman he'd sold his firstborn for.
I sternly exclaimed, "That's enough! Just set your cards down," and gave him a mini "look". Then it was time to stack chips and stack I did…there were a lot of them.
Karina jumped on the opportunity, explaining that she was tired of the foreign language and it had been going on every since she sat down.
I used the opportunity, of splitting the pot and stacking chips, to call Kamell, the Swing Shift Superviser.
The 7s was still standing and spewing when Kamell arrived. I explained what had happened and Kamell told the 7s that he was sitting out for the next 30 minutes and told the rest of them to speak only English.
I got pushed into a $15-$30 Holdem game where sanity was lingering…ready to take over the 'gamble, gamble, gamble' mode. But before I left, I had to explain to the incoming dealer that the 7s was on 'sit-out' and could not be dealt in during her down.
It was in the next game that I met John S., a reader here. He was funny and we exchanged a few words about teenagers (his daughters) and coming to Vegas for the first time…also the awe/horror of your own teenager driving a car (his). He was light hearted and a lot of fun.
Kenny, from the previous game, managed to stick his nose into the action here and tell me that they were waiting for me to come back to their game…as in the guys that spoke the foreign language.
Sitting next to him was a gent named Garry. Garry picked right up on the fact that I had a website and wanted to know the address. Garry's a writer also and we visited for a moment after I got pushed.
Ain't poker incredible? You meet people that you would never meet in any other platform…and the best of it is that you stay in touch and always cross paths again.
Mark the fact that the path you've crossed should be filled with happiness and wonder at being alive…else you've trapped yourself and bluff won't carry you over it.
I was part of this project. Sweet!
Howard Lederer's 'Secrets of No Limit Holdem'
Last night was the first night of the Friday's at Five, $540 buy-in Tournament's debut into the Wednesday time slot. The Wednesday Tournament begins at 1:00 p.m. with Satellites running on Tuesday and starting at 8 a.m. on Wednesdays.
Friday's at Five has been restructured to a $1060 buy-in. Satellites run through the day. The Satellite buy-in fee is $240 and will pay two places into the tournament. If I missed something, that update will follow.
Ramsey and Justin are still in the room. Mentioned before in posts of old, they are young, energetic, and great for our room. They played the $200 buy-in NLH game exclusively at first…now they've reached the conclusion that they are in Vegas, they want to drink and have fun while they play…so off to $4-$8 Holdem where the consequences of playing a bad hand or making a bad call aren't as severe. I love their insight and their candor about poker and where they are with life.
I managed to get the ideal line-up for the night…NOT! I ended up on Table 1, it was heads up with O'Neil and Huck S., playing Deuce to 7 single draw, $100 ante, $200-$400 Blind, NL. Bob S. had chips on the table but he was walking. Lee S. was sweating Huck.
This game was pretty much shuffle your brains out, deal, start over…thankfully the Shuffle Master was there to take up some of the slack of shuffling but when a hand didn't go past the blinds, I shuffled the next hand because the machine is too slow. From a dealer point of view, it was a drag, and my pocket was dry.
My next game was $1,000-$2,000 Mixed. Dave G. – 1S, Jennifer H. – 4s, Jason L. – 7s, and Hamid D. – 8s.
Hamid had apparently just lost a hand because he was standing up spewing curses. It's not funny but in a bizarre sort of way, it's hysterical. He barely stopped to suck air in between the 'mother fuckers, fucking idiots, what the fuck', type of thing.
He sat down when I did and continued to swear. I said, "That's enough. Take a deep breath…"
Believe it or not, in a civil tone, he replied, "I can't!" and went back to his own personal torment as he continued to curse. He pitched his hand and stood back up, moved around, sat back down for the next hand…a few dozen times…still swearing. I wonder how a person with his temperament can survive in the poker arena without having a massive stress attack or heart attack.
Jennifer had me laughing. Hamid pitched one of his cards over to the rail by her. She was trying to be helpful and snipped it in but it caught air and hit me in the arm.
I started laughing as she apologized. David made a comment about her throwing the card and I laughed and said, "Yeah, it wasn't even her card."
I misdealt once. The game was Holdem and I dealt Omaha. I apologized, shuffled and dealt. Jennifer said she thought that if a dealer dealt the wrong game, the players should just play it for that hand.
David did something like, "If your friend gives you a wink, you just keep on dealing?"
He was implying that Jennifer would give me the wink and I would misdeal to whatever she wanted. We both laughed over that one as she explained that she didn't mean it like that.
This game was at least a little spicy…not like the one on Table 1.
In the real world:
1) One of my Granddaughters is coming from Montana for Spring Break, this weekend, and will spend five days with me. We're going to Mystere at Treasure Island for entertainment, Prime – Bellagio's ultimate Steak house for food, and then on the ordinary scale…hiking, shopping, and all around girl kind of things in the works.
2) A Search Engine Parasite, Shop Nav, has devoured my little search assitant and I've spent hours scouring the net trying to figure out how to blast Shop Nav into smithereens and return my little buddy.
3) There's yard work and house maintenance needing to be done and I'm looking for the magic genie in the bottle to fix everything with a blink. Damn it! Where is that bottle?
4) Any of you that are just 'killing time', please don't. Bottle it and save it for me. I promise to use it wisely and only use it when needed in a kind and conscientious manner.
On the poker side of life: I've barely played online this last month, let alone at a B & M Table. Not sure how I would even handle playing live right now. I've played live five times in the last year. It took me a lot of years to discover that I could easily deal 40 hours a week, or possibly play 20 to 30 hours a week, but I couldn't do both.
Dealing and listening to someone whine, day after day, about their beats and my lousy dealing, when I haven't won a pot in three weeks and have played as good as God's right hand Angel could play, leaves me wanting to jump up on the table and kick the whiner right in the throat. Multiply that feeling to Nth when I'm playing in a game, watching a dealer make every mistake in the book, and then act pained if they didn't receive a tip when they pushed a pot.
I enjoy people and dealing when I'm not playing. I enjoy people and playing when I'm not dealing. I can't have both since I have to work for a living and am a sure favorite NOT to win a lottery because I never buy a ticket. So I choose to deal.
I'm sticking to online play right now because it's so easy for me to access with the limited time I have, and I can 'multi-task'…do other things while I'm playing. This is not a push for online play, just my opinion.
I have to laugh at all the people that think they are being cheated online…by the poker site. It stands to reason there is always cheating going on in the World but it's funny to me that anyone would think the site is cheating them. My reply to that line of reasoning? "If the site is cheating, I hope they continue because I'm winning."
Our Five Star World Poker Classic begins soon. It's going to be huge. I've heard anywhere from 20 to 25 tables in the pit in addition to our room of 30 tables. I expect it to be noisy, hot, exhausting, and wall to wall players.
The room never slowed down. Picture a flood…bodies…surging into the room, hour after hour, slamming into the Front Podium and rolling on past it, threatening to take everything in it's path and crush it into the walls and page/cashier area of the room.
When I hit Table 28, $4-$8 Holdem, a sudden blast of the Human Tide Pool stood up and surrounded the empty space (empty?) in front of the Middle Podium, between Tables 19, 24, and 25. Security had entered the room and there was some kind of ruckus taking place. The crowd got bigger. No one left my game to go check it out. A few minutes passed and we could see a fairly husky, middle-aged looking guy, with hands cuffed behind his back, being dragged/led out of the room by a lot of Security Guards. I found out later that some of them were Metro.
Ramsey happened to be walking by my game and gave me his usual cheery smile. I asked, "What just happened with that guy."
Try not to fall out of your chair and die laughing with this one.
Ramsey gave us this version. The guy was standing, eating peanuts, and throwing his shells on the floor. He was told he would have to take his garbage with him and that throwing his shells on the floor wouldn't be allowed.
He flatly stated that he would eat the peanuts and throw his shells on the floor until he got a seat in a game. Well, hell! The lists were 300 people long. Guess he figured that he could do whatever he wanted while he was in Vegas and the rest of the world could just piss off. Maybe he thought that was a giant threat…a peanut shell scare…and he would be given immediate seating…go figure.
The Shift Supervisor asked him to leave. He wouldn't comply so Security was called, hence Metro, hence the handcuffs, and hello to Las Vegas's most accommodating, no reservation required, crowbar hotel. That's an easy way to find a place to sleep when there are no rooms available…yeah, right! But do they play poker in jail?
On the Friday's at Five Tournament side of life, Ben Affleck, Annie Duke, Paul Phillips, and Eric Seidel, were in it. Were you? There were 137 contestants, total prize money $66,445.
Changes coming. The Friday's $540 buy-in is moving to Wednesday and the Friday Tournament will be a bigger buy-in. News on that coming. During the April Tournament, the Friday's at Five will be cancelled.
The power of the written word…once it is written, it is focused in the mind of the reader…and the writer. Good thing that a lot of people playing poker haven't learned this ancient technique…but they have watched the WPT. Don't think it's only low limit games…it's happening everywhere in the room.
A prime example would be a $30-$60 Holdem game I dealt tonight. If the 9 and 10s had ever played poker in a casino, I'd like to know which one. They both ended up going bust about 10 minutes apart and left the game. Too bad because they were young and eager to play. I can't help but wonder why they would pick a $30-$60 limit over a $4-$8 Limit. Of course if they went on a rush, what a story to tell the guys back home.
In this same game, a new player (not new to poker but new to me) lectured me. Hard to believe ain't it? A hand came down to three way action and the 9s being first to act, just folded. I told him it was a courtesy to check. The new player went into a little fit. He told me that I couldn't tell the players how to play, etc. I said I wasn't.
Several other players jumped in and explained to the 9s that he should check because it gives up another player's protection. The new player kept ranting. He told me it wasn't my job to say anything. I disagreed with him. My experience with people like this is that they run their own games at home and really can't manage being in a card room with rules.
Yes…kids, you can fold when it's your turn to act…but you are not only running a major tell on yourself, you are giving up protection for another player and someday you may be the one that is stuck looking at a bet because another 'idjit' folded instead of checking.
I dealt the $1,000-$2,000 Mixed game on Table 1. Not really the usual crew.
Phil I. had been playing there earlier in the night. He left the game when I was on Table 30, the Bellagio WPT $2-$4 Blind NLH game. One of the players commented, "There goes Phil I."
Another player asked where he came from and someone else asked what limit he was playing. Another player chimed in, "Probably $400-$800."
Yeah, right! Best to leave some comments alone. Another little goofy thing…in a game earlier…someone mentioned that we ran a game 'upstairs'. Meaning that we dealt a game in another room, away from the poker room. NOT!
Nothing strange or crazy happened on Table 1…Thank you, God!
There are a lot of nightmare stories lately…not mine but things I've heard circulating around the room. They aren't always a player incident, some of them are dealer error and other problems. Hope I can swerve around all that and stay under the radar.
I met John H. tonight. You don't know him? How possible? He's a reader here. Unfortunately I didn't get to deal to him but he introduced himself to me when I went to his game to find a long-time friend, Marie. On the subject of John…nice! Great presentation of a person filled with life and the sparkle of poker…hey, if you're into it…you know what I mean.
Marie? We've known each other since the early Mirage days. She's the kind of friend that you could see every day or not see for 20 years and when you crossed paths with her, it would be as if you'd visited with her yesterday. Great lady!
Seems to be a little bit of a problem with the $2-$4 Blind, NLH game…Ramsey, a friend and reader, came to me tonight voicing concerns over the fact that a dealer let a player have a short buy-in into this game. Ramsey doesn't want to have enemies at the table and didn't push it after the dealer argued with him and said a player could buy in for $100. I told Ramsey to just have the dealer call a Floor Person for a decision, if the Floor Person didn't have the correct answer, ask for the Shift Supervisor.
Sorry kids, but sometimes the only answer is to go the 'head honcho' when it comes to this type of thing. Why should Joe Blow get a short buy-in when you've been bludgeoned all night long and bought in for $200 each time?
Ramsey felt the other players were starting to nitpick him for trying to get the issue resolved and he likes to be liked at the table so he let it drop. Some of the players told him the decision was different every night…even going to the extreme that the player couldn't re-buy after going broke. Wow! Where did that come from?
We have a lot of new dealers coming into the room right now for our Five-Star World Poker Classic. It's going to be hell for them because they don't know a lot of our rules. Rather than argue, just ask the dealer call the Floor Person if you're sure you know the rule and the dealer is out in left field somewhere with their take on it.
Brain Food! Ever meet someone that just kept your thoughts hopping? Made you aware of your own awareness? No? Too bad, you're missing a lot. Can't explain it if you ain't there so…
Friday night brought a little nightmare scenario. I went through most of my night without a glitch/hitch/kiss my butt/or any kind of confrontation. Then I hit a $20-$40 7 Card Stud Game. It was six handed when I sat down.
The 4s was a cute, y-o-u-n-g guy. Really young. I gave the dealer I was pushing a mini-massage while he dealt the last hand. The 4s squirmed around, hinting that he needed one too. I sat down in the 'dead zone'. The game was pretty dead, no action, lots of 'if you get stuck in this game, you're an idiot' kind of vibes.
The 3s was a overly husky (maybe a little over weight) but a very healthy guy somewhere in the 40's-50's. Some of the comments during the game went to the gays being able to marry…woops…now they can't…go to Oregon…and on and on. The 3s made some comment that appeared that he was going to marry his mate and his mate was a man. Hey, no one flinches over these things in the poker room. His sweater (mate?) appeared and sat behind him. They were both good sized guys.
The 4s got a call on his cell. He went through the, "You mean you just finished dinner?" and a few other million threads of conversation and finally convinced his caller to come into the poker room and get him for a drink.
He kept looking over his shoulder at the Front Podium and I finally asked him what/who he was looking for…telling him I'd alert him when they entered the room. Three girls/ladies. He teased that I had to be interested in him when they arrived. (Honestly…he was really cute and well built but I'm not into one night stands).
Just before they showed up, the action went crazy. The last thing on Earth that one would expect to happen, did. There were four players in for a completion to $20. Just as I burned and dealt the up card to the 1s, the 3s, OUCH…it happens here…the 3s discovered that he had a spare down card under his arm. The spare card had apparently came from the 4s's hand when he folded.
The 3s made all kinds of noise, insinuating the 4s threw his card into his hand…as if he'd done it on purpose.
I immediately called for a decision. Dave N. (Brush and Supervisor came over) and I explained what had happened. Dave looked at the 3s and said, "The hand is dead."
The 3s asked, "Well, what if I just throw my cards into another player's hand…"
I caught Nate's eye and mouthed, "Get Suzie!"
Dave continued with, "We wouldn't recommend that, Sir."
Suzie appeared. I explained what had happened. Suzie told me to give the 3s $20 out of the rack and kill the hand. I did. Before I let her escape, I asked about the card run…the error had been discovered after the 3s had received fourth street…before the other two players had received fourth street.
She told me to continue with the deal…the next two players would just get their cards, in order, off the deck.
Don't worry, the next two players didn't hear a word of anything that was going on. After I killed the 3s's hand and dealt out the next two cards, they questioned it. I gave them, "That's the decision."
The long and short of it, the 4s's girls showed up. They preened and did a little dialogue tango while the 4s informed them that I wanted him. He looked directly at me and said, "Linda, the massage will have to wait."
I fell right into his game and said, "Another time then."
Ain't poker grand?
I met and dealt to Jason B., a reader here, after he sat down in a $4-$8 Holdem game. He was going to play in the Friday's at 5 the following day. Really cute, nice attitude, and we got to visit briefly on Friday. (A little jump ahead here), he was still in the tournament when I came in at 7. I looked for him a few hours later, in the faces that were left in the battle, and he wasn't there…Damn. I was really hoping he'd win it.
Back to the game on Thursday. A woman that declared she was a CPA, but looked like she could have starred as a witch in a Walt Disney movie, sporting a snaggly toothed smile and long white hair, went all-in and lost. She pulled $40 in chips out of her handbag. Most of the guys at the table started ragging that she'd been ratholing her chips (that means sneaking them off the table). I explained to her that she had to leave all chips in play.
She knew exactly what was going on. Lots of snaggly toothed smiling going on here. She said that she'd bought $40 in chips earlier and paid for them with a $100 bill. Since the dealer couldn't give her change, she took $100 in red and put $60 of it in her handbag.
The guys just weren't going for it, even though I tried to interject that "IF" that's what she did, she could do that. Now I went through the process with her (with a giant smile on my face and trying to make it into a joke…BTW I don't have snaggly teeth and teeth are one of the first things I notice on people) of explaining that everyone was going to be watching her now and what she did with her chips and since I didn't want everyone mad at me, she would be forced to leave everything in play on the table.
Her head bobbed up and down, more snaggly teeth smiling, and she laughed her ass off over the tiz the guys were having. The guys weren't mean, they just wanted her to understand they knew what she was doing and from the way she acted, she probably did do just what they said she did. So I explained all of it to the dealer that pushed me, as he shuffled the first hand.
I then told her, "We're watching you now," as I went on my way to the next table.
She thought it was really funny and kept laughing. Nice not to have her go ballistic and throw a fit over it.
I dealt one of the WPT NLH games (that's the name of our low limit NLH game now). The buy-in has been changed to $200 and the Blinds are now $2-$4. Don't worry, it never slowed anything down. There is/has always been a main game and a must move since this game started in the room. There's so much action in this game, it's not for the faint of heart. I really believe most of these players think that if they go all-in, you have to throw your hand away…or if you go all-in, you're bluffing.
During my down in this game, one youngster in the 5s, threw off over $600 and left the table. The first hand was pretty incredible to me that he would even call the all-in bet. It started like this: Six or seven people called the $4 Blind.
The Flop was 8-9-10. Bet $5, two players called, the 5s made it $20 to go. The rest of the field called the $20, except the 4s…raise, all-in, for $353.
The 5s put some thought into it (about 30 seconds or so) and called. Everyone else folded.
In this game, once a player is all-in and it's heads-up, the hands are turned over immediately, just like tournament play.
The 4s had Q-J, the 5s had 9-10. I was flabbergasted over both of their play but I wasn't giving poker lessons then and I'm not giving them now.
A few hands later, the bet got raised (not sure how much) by the 5s and the 8 and 4s called. The Flop was Ace-little-little. Both the 4 and 5s checked. The 8s bet $100. The 4s folded and the 5s thought about it for around 30 seconds and went all in for a little over $150. The 8s called.
The 5s turned over Q-Q. The 4s exclaimed, "I threw away Queens!"
The 8s turned over A-K and since the Flop was a Rainbow, the 4s was drawing dead…if the 4s was telling the truth. I ran out the cards and pushed the pot to the 8s. The 5s picked up his drink and left the table…no noise, no fuss.
The 5s got married to every hand he looked at. While there are a lot of reasons to get married to a hand, there are a lot of reasons to end the relationship at any point during the hand…think about it when you take a seat in this little island of volcanic, chip spewing action!
My Sheriff's Card is about to expire. Ugh!!! While this sounds like such a small thing, to a night creature it's a drag. The rest of the world thinks that all of us should conform to day time hours…while that may be true in the State of Nowhere, it just ain't so in Vegas. We are a 24 hour a day town which means the employees are 24 hour a day people too. A few years ago, when this glorious event rolled around, I could call Metro, make an appointment, walk in and skip all the lines, because I was already a card holder, and get through the process within 15 minutes for the small sum of $35.00.
Times have changed. Now I have to go to Metro or a fingerprint shop, get fingerprinted (this is only done during daylight while I would like to be snuggled into the dark and quiet of my bedroom), pay a fee (that varies according to where I have it done), and then purchase a cashier's check or a money order in the amount of $75, fill out several forms and turn all of that (finger prints included) into employee services where all of it is sent to Metro for processing. Then…hopefully…I will receive my new Sheriff's Card. I just can't give a thumbs up to this process…the down side to it is that if I fail to renew, I cannot work…until I do renew, the Time Clock beeps at me each time I clock in and out, reminding me that I must renew. Shit…an alarm clock at work too!
Last week when I came tripping through the room, getting ready to push into a game, there were two guys standing by the Cashier's Cage, craning their necks at the players on Table 1. Who was up there? Who were the stars?
They recognized Doyle and Jennifer. I told them the player with his back to them in white shirt was Gus Hanson. They queried, "The bald guy?"
"No…he's not bald, just has his head shaved."
"The guy next to him with the blue shirt on is Renee. Celine Dion's husband."
They stated, as if they knew the answer, "Doyle wouldn't play less than $300-$600."
I said, "Try $1,000-$2,000 or higher."
Big eyes here…they were so damn excited…next question, "What if we asked them for a picture…not while they're playing…?"
I replied, "First of all you could never take a picture up there because the Floor Person would stop you…"
"No…what if we saw them away from the table and asked them for a picture, what are they like, would they let us take one?"
Me, "Well it depends on how their mood is for the day, whether they won or lost, or just how they feel in general. They might say yes and then again they might tell you to screw off!"
Believe it or not, they seemed really happy with that answer.

Last week I slipped into the Dealer's Box on Table 28. Great little game, lots of action, nice people that didn't have any problem playing ATC (any two cards)…my kind of game. The 3s was a nice looking youngster that had a lot of chips and played most of the hands, although he didn't play like an 'idjit', he seemed to tango every chance he got. When he won a pot, he sent me $1…appreciated.
Somehow the conversation went to high limit. The 3s stated that a few years ago in Atlantic City, he was playing $1,000-$2,000 Blind…stop…stutter…stare…everyone wanted to know if he was playing in a Tournament…"No!" It then went to, "Not a cash game?"
He replied, "Yes. A game just like this only with $1,000-$2,000 blinds."
They all went ga-ga…"how/what?"
He said he won a lottery. They queried him, "How much?"
His reply, "A lot…I was the only winner."
While the others asked if they could 'be his mother, would he adopt them, did he need a brother', I couldn't help but express my genuine happiness for him. I said, "Good for you. That's wonderful."
While they were all gabbing and chortling, I caught his eye and mouthed, "How much?"
He mouthed back, "After taxes…______!"
Several people asked me, "He told you how much…what was it?"
I said, "A lot."
He went on to explain that when he realized he'd won, that he had the ONLY ticket, he was frightened. He thought something bad was going to happen. While most of you might find that hard to believe, I can associate with that. So many of us are taught that you can't have your cake and eat it too…the Twilight Zone Theory takes over.
He also explained that he was told to sign the ticket when he bought it, he did, and that was one of the best things he could have done…no argument or accusations from anyone. He met with the IRS, the Lottery Officials, etc., etc., etc.
He gave some of it away to Charities, family and friends, and got a zillion phone calls from people he'd never heard of. He said he has a representative from Merrill Lynch that handles everything for him, takes care of advising him on investments and he finally forwarded all of his phone calls to the representative.
I got pushed. I stopped and asked him if he was excited or filled with disbelief at first…as in 'did it register?' He said he was very frightened. He thought something really bad was going to happen. I asked his name…he told me…I gave him a card to this site and asked if he minded that I write this here, he said "No, go ahead."
I finished by telling him that I felt he was handling it well and how happy I was for him. He's 27, how wonderful that he appears to be in a state of mind with it that it's a means to live his life with relative ease instead of feeling that he has to punish everyone with it or be a big shot and shove people around. I respect him even more for tipping me a $1 when he won a pot…it would be gauche if he threw his weight around in any limit…and I liked the fact that he played $4-$8 rather than trying to slam it out in high limit.
Real people are the core of poker.

Q: how to create a zero button in calculator in windows form calculator I am a student. I have a trouble in creating my Zero Button. The scenario is this, we should create a zero button and when you run and click it, it should not show excess Zeros just like this ... 000000000 ... up to how may times you click the zero button. I want to know how to create a Zero button and when you run and click it, it shows only one Zero (0). Our teacher said that there is no number like this ... 00001.111 or 000.15 or 0005 or anything that starts with a lot of Zero. But I still want my Zero button to function like this ... 100 or 5000 or 0.0006 and all kinds of multiple Zero in a number. Thanks a lot!
Thanks everyone. This is my wrong solution.
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
    //    oneBtn.Click += new EventHandler(btn_Click);
    //    twoBtn.Click += new EventHandler(btn_Click);
    //    threeBtn.Click += new EventHandler(btn_Click);

        try
        {
            Button btn = sender as Button;

            switch (btn.Name)
            {
    //            case "oneBtn":
    //                textBox_output.Text += "1";
    //                break;
    //            case "twoBtn":
    //                textBox_output.Text += "2";

    //            case "nineBtn":
    //                textBox_output.Text += "9";
    //                break;
                case "zeroBtn":
                    textBox_output.Text += "0";
                    break;
    //            case "pointBtn":
    //                if (!textBox_output.Text.Contains("."))
    //                    textBox_output.Text += ".";
    //                break;
            }
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Sorry for the inconvenience, Unexpected error occured. Details:" +
                ex.Message);
        }
    }

and this is the keypress
private void textBox_output_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
    {
        int keycode;
        keycode = e.KeyChar;
        if (keycode >= 48 && keycode <= 57 || keycode == 8 || keycode == 32 || keycode == 46)
        {
            if (keycode == 46)
                ++trackkeypoint;
            if (trackkeypoint > 1)
            {
                if (e.KeyChar == '.' && (sender as TextBox).Text.IndexOf('.') > -1)
                {
                    e.Handled = true;
                    --trackkeypoint;
                }
            }
        }
        else e.Handled = true;
    }

A: In the button click(zero button) you should check two things. First if you have separator '.' which you do with IndexOf method of string. If this return > 0 you have "." and should add 0. After that if you don't have "." in the else method check if the string doesn't have value and add zero if it is true. If the string is not empty and doesn't start with 0 again add zero.
case "zeroBtn":
if(textBox_output.Text.IndexOf(".") > 0)
{
    textBox_output.Text+="0";
}
else
{
    //edit: thanks for the comment
    if(textBox_output.Text.ToString() == "")
    {
         textBox_output.Text+="0";
    }
    else if(!textBox_output.Text.StartWith("0"))
    {
        textBox_output.Text+="0";
    }
    else
    {
        //do nothing
    }
}

Hope this helps.
About your edit when you are using the key:
You should make the same checks when the keycode == 48 ( I think this was the code for 0).

A: I presume you are using winforms but you need to add extra handling for your zero button, something like the following
//If textbox starts doesn't start with 0 or Textbox
//contains a decimal point then it is ok to add a zero
if(!textBox_output.Text.StartsWith("0") || textBox_output.Text.Contains("."))
    textBox_output.Text += "0";

You could also add extra error handling for when the textbox is empty to allow for a zero to be added, as well as other handling on the other numbers to replace an existing zero with the number
if(textBox_output.Text.Length <= 1)
    textBox_output.Text = "1";
else
    textBox_output.Text += "1";

This week at Gitex, the Dubai Police is demonstrating the various online services it offers as part of the overall e-government platform that the Dubai government has been driving for five years now.
This week at Gitex, the Dubai Police is demonstrating the various online services it offers as part of the overall e-government platform that the Dubai government has been driving for five years now. The Dubai Police is part of a delegation that represents as many as 21 government departments that are showcasing the applications of several systems deployed by Dubai e-Government that enables these government agencies to deliver improved services through multiple channels. At the exhibition, the Dubai Police is showcasing its self-service kiosks — the latest component of its online infrastructure. The kiosks offer around 50 different services — up from the initial 20 it offered when it was first launched. They are located in public places, such as shopping malls, and are not just installed around Dubai but also in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. Aside from its kiosk services, the Dubai Police is also exhibiting other new e-government projects it has developed. These services, which are currently operational and available to the 900,000 residents of Dubai through its e-services portal, include facilities for the reporting of stolen cars and other crimes, as well as traffic-related e-services to enable the renewal of vehicle registration and driver's licenses, payment of fines, registering of complaints, as well as real-time news on traffic and safety initiatives. "In line with the growing needs of citizens in the Emirates, we have been constantly developing new e-services with the use of the latest technology, to simplify the lives of our customers," says Colonel Ahmad Hamdan Bin Dalmook, director of the electronic services department at Dubai Police General Headquarters. The police portal was developed to improve public access to information and services within the department, as well as enabling the Dubai Police to share its vast resources of internal information with other government offices. The portal was also intended to forge stronger links between the police department and general public, Bin Dalmook said. "Dubai Police has a clear mandate to enhance public perception about how we work and the services we provide. Our new e-services portal was created to provide a single source of easily-accessible traffic, crime, and related information for Dubai's residents, which we believe will foster a greater sense of trust and community between our department and the general public," explains Bin Dalmook. A core element of the Dubai Police e-services initiative is the integration of the department's vast information stores with other public sector departments as well as other police departments around the UAE. On top of this, the Dubai Police will soon be offering hosting services for a number of other smaller governmental departments in the region, which will rely on the police to provide a robust and secure environment for their applications and systems.

America's Expiration Date: The Fall of Empires and Superpowers . . . and the Future of the United States - Audiobook (Unabridged)
Digital Audio - Unabridged Edition
By: Cal Thomas
Narrated by: John Dowd
A warning and a wake-up call to learn history so we are not doomed to repeat it. A must-read for anyone who longs for a promising future for our great nation.
What is wrong with America today? Is it possible that America could crumble and our democracy fail?
Questions like these plague Americans and cause us to be anxious about the future of the "land that we love." Individuals may come to different conclusions, but there seems to be a common thread - the deep-seated feeling that we need to improve our country. Our culture is increasingly immoral, the family structure is threatened from all sides, and government programs consistently overreach, creating massive debt.
In this powerful and prophetic audiobook, nationally syndicated columnist and trusted political commentator Cal Thomas offers a diagnosis of what exactly is wrong with the United States by drawing parallels to once-great empires and nations that declined into oblivion. Citing the historically proven 250-year pattern of how superpowers rise and fall, he predicts that America's expiration date is just around the corner and shows us how to escape their fate.
Through biblical insights and hard-hitting truth, he reminds us that real change comes when America looks to God instead of Washington. Scripture, rather than politics, is the GPS he uses to point listeners to the right road - a road of hope, life, and change. Because, he says, if we're willing to seek God first, learn from history, and make changes at the individual and community level, we can not only survive, but thrive, again.
This powerful, timely, and much-needed perspective is a must-listen for anyone who longs for a promising future for our great nation.
