Gibbard, William (1856-1931)
Primitive Methodist Magazine 1907
Transcription of Magazine 'Sketch'
Estimated by the number of its places, Lynn is the largest circuit in the United Kingdom, and requires a Chancellor at once clear-headed and warm-hearted. In Mr Gibbard it possesses such a man. In 1873 he connected himself with Primitive Methodism, but removing to a neighbourhood where we had no society his connection was broken. He became a local preacher on the Chelmsford Station in 1880, and came to Lynn in 1896. From the first of his coming here he has been a most acceptable local preacher. Unanimously appointed to the Circuit Stewardship he has repaid his brethren by loyal, conscientious, and painstaking service. His family is closely associated with our cause, and his son-in-law, Rev. T.H. Barlow, is in our ministry. Under his guidance we trust that the station will witness much progress and that his ideals may be grandly realised.
Family and other information
William was born in 1856 at Hatfield, Hertfordshire, to parents Robert and Julia. Robert worked the land.
William worked as a railway bookstall clerk in Chelmsford, becoming clerk-in-charge before moving to Kings Lynn to undertake the same work.

How Is Lithium Withdrawal Treated?
Lithium, like many other prescription drugs, can cause a withdrawal syndrome, which is why it is very important to take the drug exactly as prescribed at all times. However, some people abuse lithium and experience withdrawal while others may encounter the issue after taking the drug as prescribed for a long period of time and suddenly stopping their treatment regimen. Call 800-768-8728 now to seek help for lithium withdrawal and addiction.
According to a study from the medical journal Encephale, for a long time, lithium was considered to be a medication that could be stopped abruptly "because it was guessed that lithium salts did not induce withdrawal symptoms." Unfortunately, this was untrue.
Thanks to several studies, we now know that lithium can cause withdrawal and that those who both use it as prescribed and those who abuse it can be affected by this issue.
However, because the withdrawal symptoms are so similar to the symptoms of manic-depression (or bipolar disorder, which is the medical issue lithium is usually prescribed to treat), it can be difficult to determine one from the other––and to provide the proper treatment.
Depression and suicidal thoughts are common lithium withdrawal symptoms.
Most of the symptoms associated with this syndrome are psychological in nature; however, it is possible for a person to experience physical withdrawal effects as well. For example, some individuals experience aches and pains, similar to those caused by opioids. In addition, a person might feel feverish and fluish. This is rare, but with the combination of aches and pains, headaches, and nausea (which also occurs on occasion), withdrawal from this particular drug can sometimes feel similar to the flu.
According to the National Library of Medicine, patients are urged not to "stop taking lithium without talking to [their] doctor." The reason for this is because ending one's use of any drug suddenly can be problematic, but lithium itself does seem to cause withdrawal symptoms that, in certain situations, can be rather intense Therefore, this particular withdrawal syndrome can sometimes be treated by weaning the patient slowly off their medication.
This is not always an ideal concept, especially if the drug itself is causing a person other side effects, but depending on the situation, it can be a helpful option. In addition, some individuals experiencing withdrawal have been abusing lithium, and in this case, they will often need to attend a detox program of some kind and/or a rehab program if their situation calls for it. In general, the drug itself is not believed to be addictive, but someone who was abusing lithium with other, habit-forming drugs will often need to attend a rehab program.
Other medications may be given to treat the patient's symptoms as necessary. There are a number of drugs used to treat bipolar disorder that could be appropriate for an individual's safe recovery from lithium withdrawal.
In addition, therapy has been proven to be one of the most helpful options for bipolar disorder (and other mental illnesses), and in combination with certain medications, it could be helpful in treating the psychological issues associated with withdrawal from lithium as well as the reasons why the person began taking the drug in the first place.
Do I Need Immediate Help for Lithium Withdrawal?
If you have been abusing lithium, it is very important to seek treatment. It is usually likely that someone who has been abusing this drug was also using another substance, and this can be extremely dangerous. In order to make sure that you are able to get through withdrawal as safely as possible, though, whether you were abusing the drug or not, seek help from your doctor and make sure you follow their instructions exactly so that you can avoid any dangerous side effects and/or symptoms.
Have you been misusing your lithium prescription as well as other drugs? Do you believe you won't be able to stop on your own? If so, it is time to seek help. Call 800-768-8728 now to find a reliable rehab center that will cater to your needs and help you put an end to your substance abuse.

This past weekend VentureBeat published a piece I wrote on how self-driving cars will disrupt advertising. I often think about how it could well be the case that I'll never go through the time-honored ritual of teaching my daughters to drive (they're all under the age of five now), but as someone who uses Uber regularly and works in the ad industry, I can't emphasize enough how much being freed from driving already changed my consumption of media. Usually I'm looking at a screen working while I'm in the backseat of an Uber; it's amazing to take that one step further and think about what it will be like when, for millions of Americans, sitting in the driver's seat for their daily commute is optional.
While it still might be any number of years before self-driving cars are the norm, it's important for those of us in the industry to think through how it will impact publishers, advertisers, and consumers. Read the full piece here!

Ploesti Air Raids on Romania Oil Fields World War II
Gen. Jacob E. Smart, a four-star general who conceived the strategy for the daring World War II bombing raid on the oil refineries at Ploesti, Romania, and went on to help shape the postwar Air Force, died Sunday in Ridgeland, S.C., in the house in which he was born. He was 97.The cause was congestive heart failure, his son, William, said.
General Smart, then a colonel, came up with the idea of having planes fly exceedingly low to bomb the tightly defended refineries, which were believed to be producing one-third of the fuel oil for the Nazi war machine.
In the face of protests by the five group commanders who would be leading the raid, his plan of flying at treetop level was accepted by Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, the supreme Allied commander. Among the plan's advantages, Colonel Smart argued, was greater accuracy.
The mission, on Sunday, Aug. 1, 1943, was deemed a success, even though 54 of the 177 bombers that took part were lost, and 53 more were heavily damaged. The refineries' output was greatly curtailed, and five Medals of Honor were awarded, the most for any single American military action.
Colonel Smart was not allowed to fly on the Ploesti mission because his superiors thought his knowledge of Allied war plans and secrets was too great to risk his capture. But they later allowed him to fly 29 missions, the last of which resulted in his being shot down and put in a prisoner-of-war camp.
Through pictures in magazines showing Colonel Smart with President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill, the Germans realized that he probably knew things worth knowing, and he was repeatedly interrogated. Although Colonel Smart, unbeknown to the Germans, knew details of the Normandy invasion, he divulged nothing.
After the war, Colonel Smart became part of the new Air Force, which had been part of the Army. He rose rapidly in rank, becoming commander of the Fifth Air Force and of United States Forces in Japan. President John F. Kennedy, in a speech at the Air Force Academy on June 5, 1963, praised General Smart by name. The general was then commander in chief of the Pacific Air Forces.
In 1964, he became deputy commander in chief of the United States European Command, a post that involved personal dealings with President Charles de Gaulle of France, who sometimes deigned to speak in English to General Smart and who was then preparing to withdraw his forces from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
Jacob Edward Smart was born on May 31, 1909, in Ridgeland, and spent a year at the Marion Military Institute before being appointed to the United States Military Academy at West Point. After graduation, he completed pilot training and became a flight instructor, eventually rising to chief of flying training at the Air Corps Headquarters in Washington.
In July 1942, he was selected to serve on the Air Corps Advisory Council in Washington, which helped Gen. Henry H. Arnold, the corps commander, develop strategy. General Arnold sent him to London to help plan for the Ploesti raid.
In January 1943, Colonel Smart's notion of a low-level attack was discussed at the meeting in Casablanca, Morocco, between Roosevelt and Churchill, and again that May when the two met in Washington.
It was General Arnold who finally agreed to let him fly. On May 10, 1944, Colonel Smart was blown out of the bomber he was piloting over Wiener Neustadt, Austria, and became a prisoner of war. Of the seven-man crew, only he and his bombardier survived. Colonel Smart was covered with shrapnel wounds.
When the Germans recognized him as being connected to higher-ups, their questions ranged far beyond details of his mission, and he was put in an excellent hospital and taken to country estates to socialize with the German elite, but he refused to talk meaningfully, his son said. He was once mysteriously approached by men who claimed to want to assassinate Hitler and begged him to help find American contacts.
He was again wounded in the Korean War. His medals included the Distinguished Service Medal, the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Air Medal, awarded four times.
After retiring from the Air Force in 1966, General Smart held several high positions at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, where he worked on the Hubbell Space Telescope project, among other things.
General Smart's marriage to Elizabeth Gohmert Melton of Scotts Valley, Calif., ended in divorce in 1946. His daughters Rosemary and Joan died before him.
In addition to his son, William Edward Smart, of Whitehall, Mont., General Smart is survived by his companion, Setsuko Saito; his daughter, Jacklyn S. Freeman of Ben Lomond, Calif.; 10 grandchildren; and 10 great-grandchildren.
When he retired for good to his hometown in the mid-1970s, he was greeted by three bands, and Main Street was renamed in his honor. He wrote a book about what local people did during World War II and helped set up a local historical museum.

50 mn documentary on US Air Raids: 1943-1944
Ploesti Air Raids, Romania from a USAAF WWII
MTO, HALPRO Detachment:
13 B-24's of the HALPRO detachment (the bombing detachment for the China-Burma-India Theater) under command of Colonel Harry A Halverson enroute from US to China take off during the night of 11/12 Jun from Fayid, Egypt to bomb oilfields at Ploesti, Romania. Only 12 attack at dawn; 4 of the 13 land at a base in Iraq which was designated for recovery of the flight, 3 land at other Iraq fields, 2 land in Syria, and 4 are interned in Turkey. Though damage to the target is negligible, the raid is significant because it is the first AAF combat mission in the European-African-Middle East (EAME) Theater in World War II, and the first strike at a target which later will be famous.
MTO, US Army, Middle East Air Force (USAMEAF):
Lieutenant General Lewis H Brereton, in his first strategic estimate of the Middle Eastern war, indicates that the 3 major objectives for the Allied Air Forces are to assist in the destruction of General Erwin Rommel's Afrika Korps by support to ground troops, secure sea and air communications on and over the Mediterranean, and carry out a sustained air offensive against Italy and against oil installations at Ploesti, Romania and in the Caucasus, if the latter should fall under Axis control.
Unit moves: 65th Fighter Squadron, 57th Fighter Group, from Muqueibile, Palestine to Cyprus with P-40s; 345th Bombardment Squadron (Heavy) arrives at Ramat David, Palestine from the US with B-24s; first mission is 12 Aug.
EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN (Ninth Air Force):
In Romania, 177 B-24's, of the IX Bomber Command (including B-24's on loan from the Eighth Air Force) are dispatched to bomb oil refineries at Ploesti and nearby Campina. The operation (TIDALWAVE) is costly, 54 planes and 532 airmen are lost, but damage to the targets is severe. 5 Medal of Honors are awarded for this mission.
In Sicily, 230+ P-40's, the largest Ninth Air Force total to date, attack Adrano, the area near Randazzo, Messina, Milazzo, Taormina, and shipping in the Straits of Messina.
STRATEGIC OPERATIONS (Fifteenth Air Force):
334 B-17s and B-24s hit targets in Romania and Yugoslavia; the B-17s bomb a marshalling yard at Ploesti, Romania and Nis, Yugoslavia; the B-24s hit a marshalling yard at Ploesti and Leskovac, Yugoslavia; fighters and AA shoot down 13 bombers.
Clearing weather again permits bomber operations. 448 B-17s and B-24s attack marshalling yards; B-17s hit Ploesti, Romania and Nis, Yugoslavia; B-24s hit Bucharest, Romania; 150+ fighters provide escort.
520+ bombers attack targets in R0mania, Yugoslavia, and Italy; B-17s bomb a marshalling yard at Ploesti, Romania, an aircraft factory in Belgrade, Yugoslavia and the Ancona-Rimini railroad line (this is the first Azon mission by 5 B-17s); the B-24s bomb marshalling yards at Ploesti and Bucharest, Romania; 250+ fighters fly support for the bombers.
465th Bombardment Group (Heavy) with B-24s becomes operational, making a total of 20 heavy bomber groups operational in the Fifteenth Air Force.
640+ bombers (the largest force to date) attack targets in Romania and Yugoslavia; the B-17s hit marshalling yards at Ploesti/Campina and Brasnov, Romania; the B-24s hit the marshalling yard at Ploesti and troop concentrations at Podgoricu, Yugoslavia; fighters fly 240+ sorties in support.
About 300 B-17s and B-24s, escorted by P-51s and P-38s, hit targets in Romania; the B-17s attack an aircraft factory at Brasov and marshalling yard at Turnu Severin; the B-24s bomb Ploesti/Campina marshalling yard and an aircraft factory at Brasov.
Almost 450 bombers, mostly with fighter escort, hit targets in Rumania and Yugoslavia; both B-17s and B-24s bomb the industrial area at Ploesti, Romania and the marshalling yard at Belgrade, Yugoslavia.
480+ B-17s and B-24s bomb oil refineries and communications targets in the Ploesti, Romania area; fighters fly 200+ sorties in support; 15 bombers are lost to flak and fighters; 40+ enemy aircraft are shot down.

PLACEHOLDER TUG DESCRIPTION
GTA V: THE START OF THE STRUGGLE TO SURVIVE
By Markhayzy,
August 18, 2016 in GTA V
Markhayzy
Ok I have been holding on hopelessly for a long time now for some sort of story expansion for GTAV and i have just about given up. There has been nothing that has impressed me or held my interest on the market for the last few years. I felt at a low point in my videogame life.
Then i saw this!!
This trailer gave me a buzz i haven't had about a game since the V trailers. It has a real raw cool vibe to it. But it got me thinking (and worrying)about the future of the GTA series.
I loved mafia 2, cool time period, great graphics, great characters, brilliant storytelling, and a badass hollywood-esque attitude. Sure it didn't have the same sort of free open world, ripe with activities as its at the time competitor (GTA IV) but that was one of the many things they could improve on next time around. This trailer amongst the others shows better graphics, a bigger world, somehow a better more intriguing story, more in depth characters, and the move to shake things up with a new orleans styled backdrop with a black protagonist yet still tell a mafia based story is just genius.
BUT it is relatively easy for them to do! They have one set of rules to follow, one genre...serious crime drama! They can change the setting and characters and improve the worlds etc a hundred times over and still have a winning formula!
What does this have to do with GTA your thinking?
Well i just can't see where they can go next! How they can go bigger and better without upsetting one side of their fanbase? The older GTA's on the older systems were perfect for their generation. The mix of a semi-serious story, hollywood action movie throwback missions, and over the top silly side missions were acceptable when games were just games and a bit of off the cuff craziness was expected, and it never felt out of place because the story had the same amount of reslism as every other aspect of the game world.
But in this generation of consoles, where the graphics are so realistic, the characters are so detailed, the stories are ever more adult and engaging the sillyness just throws you off your game and you don't know how your supposed to be feeling while your playing. For example, how atmospheric and awesome was the (spoiler) Ludendorf mission where Trevor and Micheal finally come head to head and dig up Brad!? The pinnacle of the story, real emotion, best friends, betrayal and a antihero heavily outnumbered in a shootout in a dimly lit graveyard. Then you fly back to Los Santos and have a silly pshyco rampage mission with Trevors superpowers ability and then switch to Franklin and have a jet ski race cause your nesr the beach....and the graveyard is forgot about, and the story, and hence the IMMERSION! Which IMO is the ultimate goal of any video game.
I think Rockstar realised this struggle way back and took the first steps to rectify the problems with GTA IV. If you ask me it was a huge step forward, everything about it was dark, grimy, serious yet still GTAat the core. I think this is the direction Rockstar wanted to take the series, something they could continue with and improve upon in the successing years.
But (excuse me those of you i am about to diss) the 6 year old's didn't like it. "It's not GTA, it doesn't feel the same, theres no crazy crazy rampages, its no fun, i cant just run around blowing everything up with a bazooka just for the hell of it, blablabla.
So naturally you've ruined it. With V Rockstar have gone out of their way to try to appease everybody, theres the story which i do love but with all it's directions and craziness just lands short of what they would really like to do, there's the good side missions i.e the off road races and parachuting and the customization options, the bad side missions like the property missions and the mother of all things that spells doom for our beloved GTA......
"We want to run around in clown suits, and christmas socks, and shoot fireworks, and have sumo races on skyscrapers". Well you've got it...it's called GTA ONLINE and it smells of death. Just look what you've done, crazy stunt loop races, 20,000ft in the air, kids begging their moms for money for shark cards so they can but this weeks supercar, 3 new items of clothing a day, zombie slasher missions, teen wolf. What was it you said about GTAIV? Doesn't feel like GTA? Well WTF is this s**t? Cos it sure don't feel like GTA to me.
Anyway you've got your long time grown up fans who like s serious story with just a bit of foolery, and you've got the others, who should just go and mod saints row to include mario bros maps and be on their way.
Point is i just dont know how they are going to go bigger and better without making a big crazy mess of a game. V just about got away with it, but as you know there are a lot of haters, probably the same ones who hated Iv but hey. Larger worlds mean longer stories, more crazy side missions, less time spent on what matters and more time spent on exploiting the wishes of the immature millions who'd be happy in a virtual earth sized gameworld with no story at all.
Grand Theft Auto needs to mature with the rest of the gaming world and choose which path it is going to go down. Because the direction it is heading is not good for a franchise considered by many the greatest series of all time. I hope i'm wrong.
Please Rockstar follow the likes of the mafia franchise and tell the stories that have gripped the fans since GTA 3.

Best Work Writer's Discussion 2016 [The "I Love Karen Daniels" fanfic]
Best Story/Poem 2015 [The "I Love Karen Daniels" fanfic]
Although the thread looks like it was written on a phone, the OP's theme, examples and logic are excellently expressed. He includes several separate but highly related points, all well written. I agree with most or all of the OP's speech.
At the top level, I agree that it would be nice if idiotic crap like monkey masks and hamster-tube stunt races were in a completely different game from a serious, realistic open world game.
I also agree that Rockstar has mostly played out their whole gimmick of satire of modern America. While much of their satire is biting and true, they are really stretching the parody beyond the limit in some cases, to fill up the game with this theme. Serious immersion, like RDR or LA Noire, would be something for Rockstar to try in a new, hyper-realistic next generation GTA.
Good work, OP!

Reducing everything to a fight between "wise older players who seek realism" and "whiny kidz who want to cause mahyem and love online" is wrong in my opinion.
What i think is that the jump to online woukd have been made REGARDLESS of the complains. Complains had nothing (or less) to do: R* just followed the market. The increase of party games /online has been HUGE in the last years, so R* tailor-made an experience based on those markets.
We may not like it, but on a business POV it was logical.
Gritty darkness and adultness isn't the only thing that sell. Crazyness also sell. But ONLINE CRAZY PARTY and QUICK MINIGAMES is way bigger than everything nkwadays, and R* simply followed along.
And you know what? There's nothng wrong in this route, "crazyness" and "seriousness" are both equals, and R* could have made a good game regardless.
To be honest, Online it the TRUE spirit of GTA: a sandbox, some tools, some missions, and DO WHAT THE F**** YOU WANT
So why (in my opinion) GTA failed? Not because GTA V pandered to the "funny/crazy style", but because R* simply cut corners and got greedy.
5 second long missions (buy mask, mission passed), characters dropped mid-storyline, stroy arc without an ending, heist who made you LOSE money, scripted chases who takes the place of well crafted OPEN WORLD missions, offline components that barely works etc... THOSE are core problems of GTA V, and the blame is not on whiny kids, it's on R* laziness.
Even if you replace beating up Lazlow in a Tattoo shop with a powerfull cutscene of shame and forgiveness, the mission is still a long, boring and cheap stretch of cut-scenes, something that has less to do with crazyness, and more with lazy development
R* didn't "lost focus" with online, trying to appease everybody: it simply DIDN'T CARE. When players made clear that there's a problem, and R* ignore it or BROKE it (like, for example, the slidey car cheats, or the expoit to reach Nord Yankton OFFLINE), this means they simply want the maximum result with the minimum effort, and don't care about the players.
They choose the online formula (single player as tutorial, online as main game) while cutting corners, creating a lackluster experience on many level. The fact that trevor humps a teddy bear is the LAST of the problems, it's R* mentality that changed from a caring company to a "money first" industry.
So, TLDR: craziness, adultness AND online can live one with another, and they are equal in bringing the series forward. A great developer can do everything. But R* simply GOT GREEDY, and Offline suffered NOT to appease the "crazy side", but because THEY SIMPLY DIDN'T CARE.
D9fred95 and Mr_Zombly
Thanks saintsrow, and thatstupidbug i agree that Online could have worked, i thought it was basically going to give you a player with endless missions akin to story mode missions, an online experience with a story and as you said some sort of ending story arc, then maybe the option to switch to another online chatacter i.e a biker and pkayout that story arc. Who knows maybe next time.
I also want to stress one more point, as much as i ranted about the serious side of things, i don't oppose the humour in GTA one iota! Just the pointless sideline kiddy stuff.
I live the fact Trevor f*cks teddy bears and Lamars craziness, they are absolutely true to the core of GTA, but relevant to the story and development of the characters and its clever, twisted adult humour! Just wanted to clear that up

"Life is... weird."
To address some points one by one...
1) If you liked Mafia 2 for the reasons you stated, maybe you should try the original Mafia. It's a vastly superior game in every respect (except that it looks old and is difficult as hell compared to the games of today). So if you reverse that, M2 is actually a lot worse than M1 even though they kept the formula and went bigger. Ergo I can't agree with your premise as a whole. Especially since you're arguing with M3, which is not even out yet and we have no idea whether it's gonna be good or garbage.
2) GTA can go pretty much anywhere. It can be set in 1970, 1998 or 2040; it may be in one small city which we've seen before, or 3 completely new cities, or it can consists of parts set in Alaska, the Gobi desert and Madagascar. It can have 1 protagonist or 3 or 10; it can be dead-pan serious or gibberish, or inbetween, or all in one; it can be a sequel, a new story in the same universe, a new universe or a reboot.
Quite literally, if you have a place and time where there's crime, there are cars (and other methods of motorized transportation) and there is radio, you can have a GTA game in there.
What they will actually do, well nobody knows. It remains to be seen whether R* is the same adventurous company that made GTA IV, Bully, RDR and Manhunt, or whether safe, simple and stupid such as GTAV/O is their new modus operandi.
3) Your complains really aren't with the GTA series or formula in general, much less with the console generation, but only with GTA V. The mission you mention and how it was cocked up - that's just one game. Just because we're at a certain generation of consoles doesn't mean Trevor needs to be in every game from now on.
4) Again people keep forgetting how GTA started back in 1997 and continued pretty much until IV. Most people never cared for stories in these games, they just wanted to rampage and blow off steam. It was just non-stop crazy sh*t all-around.
Now, I do like the serious games and I'll take IV over any other GTA, but if anything, the clown suits and other wackyness in online is much truer to the series' roots. Just sayin'.
5) I still think Bully is the best R* game to date and also a perfect example how to blend serious and wacky. Heck, even though the majority of that game is batsh*t crazy, as a whole it still feels more grounded than GTA V. My point is - it's obviously doable, R* is capable of it, they've done it before. Just because V and Online fail in that regard doesn't mean all the future GTAs or all gaming have to be like that from now on.
Frankly it's actually pretty crazy that you use GTA III in your argument - a game which had the simplest, most bare-bones story which most people never bothered to finish because in those days, everyone was just running around in tanks.
Again, I'd like more serious games too, but GTA hasn't really been the franchise for that. If they decide to go back to the silliness, oh well, maybe Watch Dogs will pick up the phone.
//Add: So I loaded up the trophy stats in my PSN app. 9.4% of GTA IV players have finished the story (i.e got the 'You Won!' trophy). With GTA V, it's 31.0% (got the 'To Live or Die in Los Santos' trophy). So 91%, or 59% of players, respectively, never bothered to finish these games.
Add2: It's even funnier with the FIRST missions of these games: 63.9% for 'Off the boat' of GTA IV, 85.4% for 'Welcome to Los Santos' of GTA V. I don't even know how you can play the game without even finishing the first mission, but yea, people still do that.

I believe that nutrition is the foundation that supports our lives and our ability to truly thrive. If you can find what works for you, and get that running in the background, it frees up your time and energy for everything else.
I do believe that there are fundamental principles when it comes to adopting a healthier diet, regardless of your eating style — such as eating more real food. But beyond that, the nuances are unique to the individual.
There is so much value in tuning in to how food makes you feel, so that you can evaluate these nuances for yourself. This allows you to create an eating style with intention, based on your own unique goals, instead of relying on an eating style derived from how you were raised, what someone on the internet says, or what the office orders for lunch.
My interest in nutrition started out in its relevancy to sport performance. I grew up playing sports, continuing my athletic career as a D1 soccer player, and finding CrossFit shortly after graduating college.
Once I joined the work force as a personal trainer, though, I started working long and odd hours, and I found I lacked the energy I needed to make it through the day. That inspired me to begin looking at food in terms of life performance as opposed to just weight management and sports performance.
I decided to become a health coach because I wanted to learn how to address wellness from a holistic standpoint that went beyond just fitness and nutrition.
How long have you been working for KBK?
What's the weirdest healthy food/beverage you love?
Sea veggies – they're completely underrated!
CrossFit. I stumbled upon it in 2012, and it was the most fun I've ever had in a gym.
What's your favorite non fitness/food hobby?
Reading. I am a total nerd for nonfiction.
It's awesome to be part of a team that shares a like-minded mission of helping improve people's lives through nutrition. It's so inspiring!

Research is a part of any business transaction and researching investment property is no different. The strength of your research can often times predict when you have selected a property that can earn a cash flowing income each month. Since there is more than the way a property looks, it is essential to know how to read into the factors that have a history of helping properties become successful. There are generally 4 tell-tale sings of a prosperous investment property that you should be aware of before you make your final purchase. This information is useful for any property even if you are working individually or with an investment group.
Propertis traditionally do very well in markets with a strong middle-class population. Houses that are available in communities where middle income workers live rarely stay empty. The need for housing is always strong in these areas because many single people that are just starting out move into these areas. A large percentage of mid-career adults move into properties in middle-class communities while building their retirement savings. Homes in these areas are popular with people that like to enjoy the area surroundings and socialize frequently.
Rental properties by nature are not constructed to have just one owner for the life of the property. A high turnover rate could be one sign of many issues. Leases that are abruptly cut short can be due to property management, job loss or other financial disruption that causes a tenant to find another property. Performing public research on any property will help you determine the history of the property and how to evaluate its success or failures. The best properties are those that have a strong history of well-mannered tenants that sign long-term lease agreements.
Many times looks can be deceiving when it comes to investment properties. You can fall in love with the location, the exterior and the neighbors, but there could be problems with the interior. It is easy to cover up signs of damage with paint or construction materials. Tenants that tour available properties always check the kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms before any other area of the house. Making sure that these areas are rennovated and all repairs are taken care of before purchase ensures rental success.
The background information that you obtain for a property before you invest can be eye opening. It is perfectly normal to raise rent as economic activity improves and local markets adjust to the changes. Some landlords prefer to raise rent annually without giving any type of incentive or reason to tenants. This often contributes in high turnover patterns. If a property is on the market for more than 4 months, it is usually a sign that there is a problem with the interior, price or the rent. Properties on the market for less than one month often have a history of doing very well.

Will politically connected Pappas be favored developer of Elk Grove's new 'Project Elevate' downtown area?
http://www.elkgrovenews.net/2019/10/will-politically-connected-pappas-be.html
One of the possible new downtown concepts being promoted by the City of Elk Grove. |
In their ongoing efforts to shake its reputation that there is no there there, the City of Elk Grove announced plans yesterday to develop a new downtown in the civic center area, which was recently branded as District56.
The announcement came from the city's economic development director Darrell Doan. The plans call to use a 20-acre parcel in the District56 area to develop a four-block area that will resemble high-density areas developed in places like San Jose with their Santana Row or Market Common Claredon in Arlington, Va. The program has been dubbed Project Elevate by the city.
The plan is ambitious and will likely stir extensive community conversation. There are several things that are likely to be discussed from varying points of view.
Will Old Town Elk Grove merchants and supporters view this as an abandonment of efforts to keep the struggling area relevant? What will residents who live in neighborhoods adjacent to the planned downtown and District56 have to say about this?
Will those homeowners have quality of life issues like vagrancy, traffic, and crime from high-density development. Or will they be supportive of having features like shopping and entertainment venues within walking distances of their homes?
Should this plan pass muster with residents and be approved by the Elk Grove City Council, one aspect that will be interesting to watch is who will develop the facilities.
As suggested by our report on October 16, 2017, the city has been working on this plan for some time. The documents showing this were revealed in a public record act request of correspondence between Doan and his then retail consultant group, Birmingham, Ala.-based Retail Strategies.
In an email from Doan to Retail Strategies dated June 25, 2017.
As you may know, staff has been evaluating the possibility of issuing an RFP for the City‐owned 20‐acre parcel north of the Civic Center property, for development of a lifestyle shopping, dining, and entrainment center. This effort would further several of the Council's economic development and lifestyle Goals that were recently established at the Council Retreat. The project, if successful, would provide great amenities for our residents and act as a regional visitor draw for Elk Grove.
The link below will take you to a draft of the RFP. Please feel free to review the document and offer any and all feedback you may have. I would be glad to meet with you individually to discuss this effort and review the document.
Please note, this document has not been released publicly and is still in draft form. For that reason, I would ask that you please not disseminate it any further than those people included on this e‐mail and that we not yet discuss this effort in a public setting.
Thanks, Darrell
Also, an email on May 10, 2017 with Retail Strategies, Doan discussed a request for a proposal for the development. Doan signaled his preference for a developer, San Rafael, Calif.-based Sywest Development.
Ashton thank you so much. This will help us. We met with Pappas today. As expected, polically [sic] we have to give them first crack at being our developer/partner but I think there will be a way to bring in another group (Sywest) that can help get it right. We are going to perfect the RFP/RFQ for a week or so and then ask Pappas to develop their proposal for our consideration. Stay tuned…
Interestingly, Doan painted an accurate picture of how things work at Elk Grove City Hall. While Sywest, which owns one shopping center in Elk Grove, Pappas Investments through its extensive and long-term campaign contributions to all Elk Grove City Council members, is politically powerful at city hall.
Readers undoubtedly know that Pappas recently received a multi-year multi-million dollar taxpayer-funded incentive for the recently opened Costco store, which is adjacent to District56. Several years ago Pappas received millions of taxpayer dollars for the California Correctional Healthcare Services.
As the plans progress, it will be noteworthy to see how various stakeholders in the city respond to the proposed new downtown. More important though will be to see if Pappas will be the developer selected to build the new downtown, and how much taxpayers will have to pay for the privilege.

First issue first: I can understand (but not necessarily accept) why Pappas has the inside track with the City Council. After all, money talks. But what is more troublesome to me is why a city staff person would be showing favoritism to a particular developer? In this case, Sywest out of San Rafael. When paid city staff start going rogue and dabble in the politics of contract awarding, it makes me wonder whose palms are getting greased.
Second, when government spews the mantra of "build-it and they will come", grab your pocket book and be very, very alarmed. In a free-market society, if there is a profitable venture to be had, the private sector will jump in and fill the void, no incentives needed.
When the City of Elk Grove jumps into the land development business, subsidies fly and other existing businesses playing by the rules are hurt. Our topography might be flat as a pancake, but the economic playing field is far from level. And in this case, "Project Elevate" will tilt the playing field even more.
Discounted rents, sweetheart deals, and fancy press releases might hype the District56 project, but make no mistake--even in the Grove, customers forking over cash will still be needed to make any project succeed in the long run.
When this family-oriented town rolls up the carpet at night, I wonder who will be jumping into their cars to head to Elevated District56? Meanwhile, Mello-Roos taxpayers, keep making your payments or the tax man will be coming for you!

If they find tenants, good ones at that, I'll just say I am glad I don't live near there because traffic will be one big hassle.

One Week Later, amFAR Provides No Accounting for Cannes Gala, Refuses to Respond to Queries
by Roger Friedman - May 23, 2018 12:30 pm
A week ago tonight, amFAR held its annual fundraiser in Cannes at the Hotel duCap Eden Roc. Since then, there has not been a word about how much the event made. In past years, amFAR has touted its total that night or the next morning. This year, despite queries to their PR director, there has been nothing. Almost.
The one statement made by the organization, mired in scandal, is that they made "more than last year." Last year's given number was $20 million. So far all we know about the 2018 Cinema Against AIDS is that roughly $5 million was reaped from three auction items. One of them was $1.5 million derived from a painting of Bob Dylan by former James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan.
That last item is a curiosity. Brosnan paints for a hobby. He has no track record of sales. Even in the overheated international market, one million dollars is a lot of money. You can buy a name painter for less money. So I'd put a red circle around that one.
This year's Cinema Against AIDS had far less star power than ever before thanks to scandals involving the ouster of Harvey Weinstein and the resignation of Kenneth Cole. Brosnan was the biggest star to attend the event. There was no Sharon Stone, Leonardo DiCaprio, etc. Even Cate Blanchett, head of the jury, skipped the whole thing. Kristen Stewart stopped by for a photo op.
amFAR continues to be weighed down by its own hubris. CEO Kevin Frost makes $600,000 a year. The rest of the staff commands very high salaries. amFAR thrives on parties and celebrities, undercutting its original purpose.
So we wait to see if they will give a figure for this year's event– or any event. All we can really trust is their annual tax filing. But the one for 2017 has yet to be published. For this year, it will be 18 months until we see what they tell the US government.

Erin Burnett whose full name is Erin Isabelle Burnett was born on July 2nd, 1976 in Mardela Springs, Maryland, U.S. She is a news anchor, currently the anchor of her own show on CNN, Erin Burnett OutFront. She has also worked for CNBC as co-anchor of Squawk on the Street and the host of Street Signs. Erin has presented for her current program live from the border of Mali, Afghanistan, Rwanda, the United Arab Emirates, Israel, China, and Pakistan.
Burnett's career has extensively focused on reporting in the Middle East and has filed reports from Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Lebanon, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen, in addition to Pakistan.
She was born on July 2, 1976. She is 42 years old as of 2018.
Burnett met finance executive David Rubulotta on a blind date in 2003. They became engaged in September 2011. Burnett and Rubulotta were married on December 21, 2012.
Burnett gave birth to a son, Nyle Thomas Burnett Rubulotta on November 29, 2013, and on July 18, 2015, she gave birth to a daughter, Colby Isabelle.
Erin Burnett began her career as a financial analyst for Goldman Sachs in their investment banking division, where she worked on mergers and acquisitions and corporate finance. While working as an investment-banking analyst, Burnett was offered a position at CNN as a writer and booker for CNN's Moneyline with Stuart Varney, Willow Bay, and Lou Dobbs. She left the position to serve as vice president of Citigroup's digital media group, CitiMedia.
Following Citigroup, Burnett joined Bloomberg Television as Stocks Editor and anchor. From 2005 to 2011 Burnett was the host of CNBC's Street Signs and co-anchor of Squawk on the Street with Mark Haines.
On December 7, 2010, Burnett presented an investigative report on chemical giant Transammonia doing business in Iran. She reported that a wholly owned subsidiary of Transammonia in the United States purchased ammonia from Iran. On December 13, 2010, as a result of the CNBC report, Transammonia sent a press release to congressional leaders stating that Transammonia's Swiss subsidiary would not enter into new contracts with Iranian companies and would wind down its business with Iran "as soon as possible." The following year, the investigative report was nominated for an Emmy.
Following more than five years with CNBC, Burnett left the network on May 6, 2011, to then join rival news outlet CNN on October 3, 2011. There, she began headlining her own prime-time news program called Erin Burnett OutFront, which films at CNN's New York City studios.
It's Erin Burnett's turn to step out front and try to maintain a viable viewer presence for CNN in the weekday news arena. But the former CNBC anchor won't worry about ratings for her hourlong general news program, comparing that burden to "death." Instead, she'll concern herself with translating world events into relevant information for viewers, paying close attention to such topics as the Middle East and women's issues. "I want people to say that our show is smart. I want our show to be authentic", Burnett says in a promo. "I want our show to have courage". Left unsaid, of course, is that she wants her show to have a big audience, too.
On August 5, 2009, Burnett used the term "serial killer" in a discussion with her host Jim Cramer regarding a report about the Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's plans to spend millions of dollars on aerial shooting to cull Australian feral camels in the outback. Cramer referred to the reported plan as "camelcide". The next day on the show, Burnett said her comment was meant as a joke.
She is of part Irish and Scottish ancestry.
Erin Burnett's career has mainly focused on investigative journalism which has brought many changes and development like the Transammonia case. She has hosted shows live from outside America and from the borders of Middle East countries, as well as China and Pakistan. Her work has put on many important issues and has covered the problems of people living in countries like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Tunisia, Iran, Turkey, Israeli, United Arab Emirates, Lebanon, Yemen, Palestinian Territories, and Pakistan.
Erin Burnett won the SALDEF Excellence in Media Award at the 2012 SALDEF National Gala in Washington, DC. She has also won News & Documentary Emmy Award for Outstanding Live Courage of a Current News Story.
She has an estimated net worth of $12 million.
She earns an annual salary of $3 million at CNN.

Roger Michael Needham, CBE, FRS, FREng (9 February 1935 – 1 March 2003)[1] was a British computer scientist.
4 Roger Needham Award
5 EuroSys Roger Needham PhD Award
He attended Doncaster Grammar School for Boys in Doncaster (then in the West Riding).
Needham began his undergraduate studies at St John's College, Cambridge in 1953, graduating with a B.A. in 1956 in mathematics and philosophy.[2] His Ph.D. thesis was on applications of digital computers to the automatic classification and retrieval of documents. He worked on a variety of key computing projects in security, operating systems, computer architecture (capability systems) and local area networks.
Among his theoretical contributions is the development of the Burrows-Abadi-Needham logic for authentication, generally known as the BAN logic. His Needham–Schroeder (coinvented with Michael Schroeder) security protocol forms the basis of the Kerberos authentication and key exchange system. He also codesigned the TEA and XTEA encryption algorithms. He pioneered the technique of protecting passwords using a one-way hash function.[3][4]
He joined Cambridge's Computer Laboratory, then called the Mathematical Laboratory, in 1962, became head of the laboratory in 1980, was made a professor in 1981 and remained with the laboratory until his retirement in 1995. Needham then set up Microsoft's UK-based Research Laboratory in 1997. He was also one of the founding Fellows of University College, Cambridge, which became Wolfson College.
Needham was elected to the Royal Society in 1985, became a fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering in 1993 and received a CBE for his contributions to computing in 2001. He also was a longtime and respected member of the International Association for Cryptologic Research, the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Security and Privacy and the University Grants Committee. He was made a fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery in 1994.[5]
Needham held honorary doctorate degrees from University of Twente, Loughborough University, and University of Kent.
Needham married Karen Spärck Jones in 1958. Needham died of cancer in March 2003 at his home in Willingham, Cambridgeshire.[6]

By now, we're all pretty much up to speed with the fact that Tom Hanks is a nice man, which is perhaps why he rarely attempts to convince us otherwise on screen. In Captain Phillips, as in so many other Hanks vehicles, he's basically just a stand-up guy at the mercy of factors beyond his control — in this case: lack of weaponry on-board freighter, Somali pirates, Paul Greengrass.
For a while it was quite endearing to see Hanks stick so rigidly to playing blameless protagonists. His career was a bit like the first season of Entourage: entirely devoid of jeopardy and all the more intoxicating for it. But like that show, Hanks's schtick started to wear thin as the years went by, and by the time E got engaged at the end of Season 6 he wrote, directed and starred in the dramatic black hole that was Larry Crowne, it was no longer satisfying to watch him constantly do the right thing all the time.
Has a SINGLE engaging screen character EVER worn a rucksack?
The easiest way to chart the deterioration of Hanks's on-screen energy is to examine the names of his characters. Where his 80s career gave us such sublime handles as Lawrence Whatley Bourne III, Sherman McCoy and Detective Pep Streebeck, recent years have yielded the featureless monikers Thomas Schell, Robert Langdon and — of course — cheery old Mr. Crowne up there.

Q: htaccess Redirect with an ampersand I have a simple 301 Redirects that I need to implement on a site that has had some URLs change. All but two work fine, and the two that don't feature an ampersand (actually %26) in the URL :
Redirect 301 /search/21/0/Hair-%26-Beauty /search/21/0/1/Make-up-and-Hair-%26-Beauty

Is there a way I can get the Redirect command to parse the %26 correctly? I would have tried just using & but these are what the two URLs need to be.
From what I've read I just need to escape the %26, but I'm not sure how, or even to find out how.
Thanks for any information.

Here's the beginning of my .htaccess file. There are no other rules that could conflict:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]
RewriteRule ^search/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/(.*)$ /search.php?S=$1&C=$2&P=$3 [L]
Redirect 301 /search/1/0/Photography http://www.example.com/search/1/0/1/Wedding-Photography

A: You can use mod_rewrite rules with %26 used as \x26. Use this code in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^search/21/0/Hair-\x26-Beauty/?$ /search/21/0/1/Make-up-and-Hair-%26-Beauty [L,NE,NC,R=301]

Eataly Is Coming to Dallas
Good news for people who love Italian food: Eataly Dallas has formed an LLC, so it's safe to say that we can expect that they will be landing in our fair, pasta-obsessed city soon. If you're not familiar, it's the behemoth that first touched down in New York (near Madison Square Park) in 2010. That was the doing of Lydia and Joe Bastianich (and, formerly, Mario Batali, until his #MeToo allegations). Locations followed in Manhattan, Boston, Chicago, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles. Imagine Eatzi's amped up ten-fold, a sensory overload of dazzling products, grab-and-go, and sit-down fare.
We got the tip last week. Some sleuthing reveals that Eataly Dallas, LLC was indeed registered on April 16, 2019 in Delaware. I reached out to Kristin Gibbins, Executive Director of Marketing and Strategy at NorthPark, which we had reason to suspect was the location of choice. "We are not able to comment on Eataly at this time. We have announced the following retailers coming soon: Saint Laurent, Alexandre Birman, Dolce & Gabbana, Byredo, Golden Goose, and Isabel Marant. Aritzia opened yesterday on Level One between Neiman Marcus and Dillard's," writes Gibbins. So, you see. Eataly is definitely not—I repeat, not—coming to NorthPark in any capacity that anyone can comment on. Yet.

Despite Local Racial Tension, Good Samaritan Leaps Into Action to Rescue Cop From Smoking Car
A Chicago man is being hailed as a hero after he jumped into action so he could rescue an injured police officer from a smoking car.
The cop had been driving through the city's South side with its lights and sirens on so it could get to a foot chase when another car made a turn and cut him off. Instead of hitting the other driver, the officer veered his car into a tree.
An unidentified man was then seen rushing over to the smoking SUV, opening the door, and pulling the policeman out of the vehicle. Several other good Samaritans rushed to the officer's aid as well.
Kevin Russell was in his car when he saw the scene unfolding. Touched by the man's compassionate response to the accident, he filmed the exchange and posted the video to Facebook.

Since Chicago's South side community is often mistrustful of police officers, the rescue has spurred an emotional response from social media viewers.
"People think that people of color and police don't get along and don't have a good relationship, but in a situation like this when something incredible happens, you do the right thing," Russell told CBS Chicago. "You jump into action. This isn't a police officer. This is a human being."

"I was really able to capture the real heart of the South side of Chicago and the citizens in the city of Chicago," he added.
According to the Chicago Police Department, the officer was taken to the hospital and is expected to make a full recovery from his injuries.

If you need more than one level indentation from the start of the method body, create another method and call it. So one level of a loop or if statement is ok, but any deeper and you need to break it out into its own method.

## Don't use the ELSE keyword. ##

This one is tough. We're very used to using `if/else` or `switch/case`. But good object-oriented designs rely on polymorphism in place of conditional logic.

## One dot per line. ##

This is meant to enforce the Law of Demeter. So this would be a no-no: `invoice.lineltems.getLineltem(4)`. Although this discourages method-chaining in cases where a method returns the same object (a la JQuery), that isn't what this rule is trying to do. It's trying to stop you from reaching across class boundaries and digging into the guts of other objects.

## Don't abbreviate anything. ##

This is meant to enforce clarity, as well as identify duplication or misplaced responsibilities. If you're typing `mergeUserPreferencesFromDatabaseAndCookies()` too often, something is probably wrong, both in terms of what the method is doing and how many things are coupled to it.

## Keep entities small. ##

No method over 20 lines. No class over 50 lines. No package over 10 files.

Spider-Man Is Back in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Tom Holland's Drunk Call With Disney CEO May Have Saved Spider-Man
Well that was certainly dramatic. For quite some time now all of you who love continuity (and corporations) have been tearing your hair out because Sony threatened to end its lopsided deal with Disney and cut short Spider-Man's shaky homecoming in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Well you got what you wanted. After some good old-fashioned negotiating in the press, Sony and Marvel have once again teamed up for more Spider-Man movies about living under Tony Stark's shadow.
"I am thrilled that Spidey's journey in the MCU will continue, and I and all of us at Marvel Studios are very excited that we get to keep working on it," said Kevin Feige in a statement to Variety. "Spider-Man is a powerful icon and hero whose story crosses all ages and audiences around the globe."
Feige also mentioned Spider-Man's ability to "cross cinematic universes" so we might actually see Tom Holland show up in Sony's dumb Spider-Man spin-offs about Morbius and Venom and most recently Madame Web.
The next mainline Spider-Man film, once again produced by Feige and Amy Pascal, hits theaters in July 2021, so right on schedule. We wouldn't be surprised if director Jon Watts returns as well after making a billion dollars with Far From Home. That also puts the movie right after Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness in Marvel's Phase 4.
There could've been worse resolutions to this Spider-Man debacle. Disney could've just bought Sony outright and put real people out of work to get back this fake bug boy. But as long as Spider-Man movie dreams are coming true, can we get another Raimi film while we're at it?

The Best Drug Trips In Movie History


Recently I came to know of a great feature of KDE, which allows me to change a wallpaper every 10 seconds automatically.
I really like the way it changes wallpapers, but system wallpapers have not so pleasant-to-eyes pics which I want gone. I tried myself to find a way to delete those pics but to no avail. My question now is how to delete those unwanted wallpapers!
I am using lm 12 kde.
I love the slideshow option for wallpapers. I've collected a nice large collection of walls and I have an active rotation folder and an inactive folder so I can move walls back and forth as I get tired of some. There should be a checkbox on the Desktop Settings dialog, right below where it says Images, to show System wallpapers. If you untick the box it won't show any of the system wallpapers in your slideshow.
Yes, I am aware of that option. Besides that, I misunderstood about the downloaded wallpapers. System wallpapers and downloaded wallpapers have their own folders, with custom folder available for your own pics Things couldn't get better. Thanks anyway.
No problem. I know how it can be figuring out how and where KDE does things. I do reinstalls every now and then and have long been glad I document things on my blog so I can remember what I did the previous time.

Then cap off your Friday night at the USA 7s by taking a seat at the 10th Annual I'Maul In No Limit Texas Hold 'Em Charity Poker Tournament. The action takes place on Friday, March 1 at 10:30 p.m. the Poker Room at the Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino.
Conveniently located right next door to the USA Sevens Tournament Headquarters Hotel, the Luxor, the Mandalay Bay Poker Room is perfectly situated to host this annual fun-filled event.
The first hand will be dealt at 10:30 pm. The buy-in for the I'Maul In No Limit Texas Hold 'Em Charity Poker Tournament remains $100 ($40 for the USRF, $30 for the player prize pool and $30 for Mandala Bay), which will be paid (cash only) at the Mandalay Bay Poker Room. Seating is limited to the first 100 players so get there on time to get a seat. If you'd like to guarantee your seat at the 2019 I'Maul In Tournament, please contact Brian Vizard at bvizard@usrugbyfoundation.com.
An initial add-on of $10 (for the dealers) for an additional 2000 chips will be offered before the cards are in the air. Rebuys will be $50 and a one-time $50 add-on is also available. All monies from the rebuys and add-ons will go towards the player prize pool. 10% of the number of total registrants will get paid so spread the word so we can get to the full allotment of 100 players.
All players will receive the I'Maul In No Limit Tournament chip as a memento of their night on the felt and those players who cash will also receive an I'Maul In No Limit Texas Hold 'em Charity Poker Tournament dealer button.
In addition to the first place money, the winner will also receive the coveted 2019 I'Maul In No Limit Texas Hold 'em Poker Tournament crystal trophy. Last year's winner, Brian Vizard, took home the crystal trophy and $1,100, and had four hours of fun in the process.
