What kind of drivel is this? I thought Philip Roth was supposed to be a """"""literery""""""(((writer)))?!
Call me Smitty. That's what everybody else called me--the ballplayers, the bankers, the bareback riders, the baritones, the bartenders, the bastards, the best-selling writers (excepting Hem, who dubbed me Frederico), the bicyclists, the big game hunters (Hem the exception again), the billiards champs, the bishops, the blacklisted (myself included), the black marketeers, the blonds, the bloodsuckers, the bluebloods, the bookies, the Bolsheviks (some of my best friends, Mr. Chairman--what of it!), the bombardiers, the bootblacks, the bootlicks, the bosses, the boxers, the Brahmins, the brass hats, the British (Sir Smitty as of '36), the broads, the broadcasters, the broncobusters, the brunettes, the black bucks down in Barbados (Meestah Smitty), the Buddhist monks in Burma, one Bulkington, the bullfighters, the bullthrowers, the burlesque comics and the burlesque stars, the bushmen, the bums, and the butlers. And that's only the letter B, fans, only one of the Big Twenty-Six! Why, I could write a whole book just on the types beginning with X who have called out in anguish to yours truly--make it an encyclopedia, given that mob you come across in one lifetime who like to tell you they are quits with the past. Smitty, I've got to talk to somebody. Smitty, I've got a story for you. Smitty, there is something you ought to know. Smitty, you've got to come right over. Smitty, you won't believe it but. Smitty, you don't know me but. Smitty, I'm doing something I'm ashamed of. Smitty, I'm doing something I'm proud of. Smitty, I'm not doing anything--what should I do, Smit? In transcontinental buses, lowdown bars, high-class brothels (for a change of scenery, let's move on to C), in cabarets, cabanas, cabins, cabooses, cabbage patches, cable cars, cabriolets (you can look it up), Cadillacs, cafes, caissons, calashes (under the moon, a' course), in Calcutta, California, at Calgary, not to be confused with Calvary (where in '38 a voice called "Smitty!"--and Smitty, no fool, kneeled), in campaniles, around campfires, in the Canal Zone, in candlelight (see B for blonds and brunettes), in catacombs, rounding the Cape of Good Hope, in captivity, in caravans, at card games, on cargo ships, in the Caribbean, on carousels, in Casablanca (the place and the movie, wherein, to amuse Bogey, I played a walk-on role), in the Casbah, in casinos, castaway off coasts, in castles (some in air, some not), in Catalonia (with Orwell), Catania, catatonia, in catastrophes, in catboats, in cathedrals, in the Catskills (knaidlach and kreplach with Jenny G.--I taste them yet!), in the Caucasus (Comrade Smitty--and proud of it, Mr. Chairman!), in caves, in cellars, in Central America, in Chad, in a chaise longue (see under B burlesque stars), in chalets, in chambers, in chancery, in a charnel house (a disembodied voice again), in Chattanooga (on Johnny's very choo-choo), in checkrooms, in Cherokee country, in Chicago--look, let's call it quits at Christendom, let's say there, that's been Smitty's beat! Father confessor, marital adviser, confidant, straight man, Solomon, stooge, psychiatrist, sucker, sage, go-between, medicine man, whipping boy, sob sister, debunker, legal counselor, loan service, all-night eardrum, and sober friend--you name it, pick a guise, any guise, starting with each and every one of the Big Twenty-Six, and rest assured, Smitty's worn that hat on one or two thousand nights in his four score and seven on this billion-year-old planet in this trillion-year-old solar system in this zillion-year-old galaxy that we have the audacity to call "ours"! O what a race we are, fans! What a radiant, raffish, raggedy, rakish, rambunctious, rampaging, ranting, rapacious, rare, rash, raucous, raunchy, ravaged, ravenous, realistic, reasonable, rebellious, receptive, reckless, redeemable, refined, reflective, refreshing, regal, regimented, regrettable, relentless, reliable, religious, remarkable, remiss, remorseful, repellent, repentant, repetitious (!!!!), reprehensible, repressed, reproductive, reptilian, repugnant, repulsive, reputable, resentful, reserved, resigned, resilient, resistant, resistible, resourceful, respectable, restless, resplendent, responsible, responsive, restrained, retarded, revengeful, reverential, revolting, rhapsodical, rhythmical, ribald, rickety, ridiculous, righteous, rigorous, riotous, risible, ritualistic, robustious (adj. Archaic or Humorous [pick 'em], meaning "rough, rude or boisterous," according to N.W.), roguish, rollicking, romantic, rompish, rotten, rough-and-ready, rough-and-tumble, rough-housing, rowdyish, rude, rueful, rugged, ruined, rummy (chiefly Brit, don'cha know. Slang odd; queer), rundown, runty, ruthless race! A' course that's just one man's opinion. Fella name a' Smith; first name a' Word. And just who is Word Smith? Fair enough. Short-winded, short-tempered, short-sighted as he may be, stiff-jointed, soft-bellied, weak-bladdered, and so on down to his slippers, anemic, arthritic, diabetic, dyspeptic, sclerotic, in dire need of a laxative, as he will admit to the first doctor or nurse who passes his pillow, and in perpetual pain (that's the last you'll hear about that), he's not cracked quite yet: if his life depended on it, the man in the street could not name three presidents beginning with the letter J, or tell you whether the Pope before this one wore glasses or not, so surely he is not about to remember Word Smith, though it so happened old W.S. cracked a new pack of Bicycles with more than one Chief Exec, one night nearly brought down the republic by cleaning out the entire cabinet, so that at morn--pink peeking over the Potomac, you might say--the Secretary of the Treasury had to be restrained by the Secretary of the Interior from dipping his mitt in the national till to save his own shirt at stud, in a manner of speaking. Then there are the Popes. Of course no poker, stud, straight, or draw, with Pontiffs, other than penny ante, but rest assured, Smitty here in his heyday, kneepans down on terra firma, has kissed his share of rings, and if no longer up to the kneeling-down, still has starch enough left in these half-palsied lips for tasting the papal seal and (if there should be any takers) touching somewhat tumescent flesh to the peachier parts of the softer sex, afore he climbs aboard that sleeper bound for Oblivion. Chucklin': "George, what time she due at Pearly Gates?" Shuf-flin': "Don' you worry none, Mistuh Smitty, I call ya' in time fo' you to shave up and eat a good heffy breakfass' fo' we gets dere." "If we gets there, George. Conductor says we may all be on a through train, from what he hears." "Tru'? To where, Mistuh Smitty? De end of de line?" (Chorus behind, ahummin' and astrummin', "Tru' train, tru' train, choo-choo on tru', I wanna choo-choo on home widout delay!") "Seems there isn't any 'end' to this line, George." Scratchin' his woolly head: "Well, suh, day don' say nuttin' 'bout dat in de schedule." "Sure they do, old George, down in the fine print there: 'Stops only to receive passengers.'" "Which tru' train dat, Mistuh Smitty?" "Through train bound for Oblivion, George." " 'Oblivion'? Dat don't sound lak no stop--dat de name of a little girl!" ("Tru' train, tru' train, lem-me choo-choo on home!") Smitty! Prophet to porters, padre to pagans, peacemaker for polygamists, provider for panhandlers, probation officer to pickpockets, pappy to parricides, parent to prostitutes, "Pops" to pinups, Paul to pricks, plaintalker to pretenders, parson to Peeping Toms, protector to pansies, practical nurse to paranoids--pal, you might say, to pariahs and pests of every stripe, spot, stigma, and stain, or maybe just putty in the paws of personae non gratae, patsy in short to pythons. Not a bad title that, for Smitty's autobio. Or how's about Poet to Presidents? For 'twasn't all billiards on the Biggest Boss's baize, sagas of sport and the rarest of rums, capped off with a capricious predawn plunge in the Prez's pool. Oh no. Contract bridge, cribbage, canasta, and casino crony, sure; blackjack bluffer and poker-table personality, a' course, a' course; practiced my pinochle, took 'em on, one and all, at twenty-one; suffered stonily (and snoozed secretly) through six-hour sieges of solitaire, rising to pun when they caught me napping, "Run out of patience, Mr. P.?"; listen, I played lotto on the White House lawn, cut a First Child for Old Maid in the Oval Office on the eve of national disaster...but that doesn't explain what I was there for. Guessed yet how I came to be the intimate of four American presidents? Figured me out? Respectful of their piteous portion of privacy, I call them henceforth ABC, DEF, GHI, and JKL, but as their words are public record, who in fact these four were the reader with a little history will quickly surmise. My capital concern? I polished their prose.
There was a post here today about a guy who won a 10k score in a poker tournament in ‘08 and proceeded to black out drunk and wake up without the money, only to receive a letter 10 years later about collecting 13k from a 10k treasury bond he had bought with the money. Thought it was a fun story and reminded me of one of my own degen stories so I figured I’d share. Not poker related and kinda a long read, but hopefully yall enjoy it: Last Summer, I had a little bender where I would take Ambien, drink a few beers and play online blackjack on Bovada (not even the type with a live dealer, just straight up an online program... stupid I know). For those who don’t know about Ambien, it is a sleeping pill (which I am legally prescribed) where, if you don’t go to sleep right away and stay up, you experience euphoria, lowered inhibitions and an insane amnestic effect where you don’t remember anything the next morning. Anyways, I really enjoy the side effects of Ambien so I would pop them an hour or two before going to bed and just chill out. I decided I wanted to gamble so I deposited $500 on Bovada and started playing blackjack. When I woke up the next morning, I didn’t remember I had done this until I opened up my laptop and saw a wizardofodds.com perfect strategy chart open (basically a chart for blackjack that I refer to in spots I’m unsure of). Let me be clear, I had done this before (playing bovada blackjack on ambien), so when I saw the chart open, I was like “oh god, lets see how I did” and logged into Bovada. I had to do a double-take when I saw my balance: ~$3500 I thanked my lucky stars, sent snapchats bragging to all my friends and... popped some more ambien that night. The next morning I didn’t remember playing, but obviously I knew to check my laptop. Surely I had pissed most of it away... Balance: ~$8000 I couldn’t believe it. As a 23 year old at the time, I had a couple sick runs before but nothing like this. Seeing that $8000 in my account balance seemed surreal, it really didn’t register to me how much that was, despite me clearly knowing it was 8 thousand fucking dollars. I think part of it was because it wasn’t like a mind-blowing amount for me (like 20k or something) coming from a relatively privileged upbringing and having a decent job coming out of college, but it was definitely more than double my savings at the time, so it was significant. Knowing this, and knowing that all blackjack heaters must end and they usually end badly, I KNEW I should’ve withdrawn then and there... but alas, I ain’t no bitch so I said fuck it and kept it on. Over the course of the next week, I managed to run it up to ~15k. Some nights I lost a couple thousand, and I had multiple 3-5k swings throughout my sessions, but I kept at it. When I awoke one day and saw ~15k in my account balance, I finally was able to slap some sense into myself and withdraw. The reason I enjoyed playing this Bovada blackjack game was because it allowed you to play up to 3 hands at a time, and the program was instantaneous so you can see a lot of hands in a short span of time - basically a ton of action and swings. Bovada allows you to see all credits/debits to your account and see what time and amount wagered, so I was able to check how I did the night prior, every morning. I got some sort of sick, degenerate excitement from checking how I did each morning. It was funny to see how I would start each session wagering like $5-10 a hand and progressively start betting more as I got more inebriated/ambien kicked in. At my peak, I was wagering $200/hand, 3 hands at a time, banging out like 9 hands a minute. In hindsight, I can’t believe the amount of pure and blatant disrespect and disregard for money I had done. Like, even when I’ve played BJ at a casino, I am way more risk averse when I have physical chips I have to put in, but when it’s just a click of a button, the money just doesn’t seem as real. Even now, $200/hand seems so insane to me, considering how much thats worth at my given age and financial circumstance... Anyways, so that’s how I turned $500 into $15k over the span of a week and I didn’t even remember doing it - a degen story with a happy ending! I hope yall enjoyed the story, as much as I enjoyed telling it! And remember: no gambol, no future.
I've always enjoyed going for achievements and unlocks in a game and I know there have been a few people who want some help getting them in Simcity so I've created this guide. I know there's a lot of hate for this game so I'm hoping you'll save your downvotes and trolling for another, more appropriate, thread. Some of the explanations I provide for the simple and moderate achievements are rather basic - because they don't require it. I spend more time on the difficult ones. As usual, ask if you have any questions. I'm currently only missing 11 of them total (7 broken + 3 time achievements). EDIT: 5/13 "you mean business" no longer seems to be broken since the last update Broken Achievements

Also place a couple of trade depots throughout your industrial areas so that the businesses can dump freight.
Metropolis! – Have 100,000 residents living in your city.
Just takes a bit of time to have your low wealth buildings turn into apartments, then large tenements. Make sure traffic and services are addressed. Low wealth sims are the easiest to attract and retain.

Adequate jail cells, lots of criminals, school of law at the university also helps out greatly since it reduces rehab time by 1/2.
Mayor Yuck – Have 500 Sims complaining about dirty water in a day.
Build your only water towers next to your dirty industrial buildings, you'll get a message saying "water pump is polluted" - just a matter of time after that.

What Goes Up Must Come Down – Have 200 tourists arrive on flights at the Municipal Airport in a day to gain access to the Meteor Strike disaster.
Just need to make sure your city is a "draw" (ie: tourism, casino). High wealth tourists only fly, or boat in, so make sure you have things for them to do. Consider more runways to increase inbound traffic.

All-Powerful Region – Place of each type of power source in a region (Coal, Oil, Wind, Solar and Nuclear).
Just requires some money
Super-Powered – Have a city that consumes over 300 mW of power per hour.

Aqua Max – Have a city that has over 100 kgal of water needed per hour.
Again, somewhat easy if you have an industrial/mining/electronics town
Electrical Magic – Assemble 4,000 crates of processors in a day.
Average processor plant makes about 9600 crates per day, only difficult part is getting 5 medium tech industrial buildings. Use community college as your only source of education. If you use a university as your only source, you'll actually get a bunch of high tech industrial buildings and no medium tech. The processor plant ONLY unlocks with medium tech buildings, not 5 medium OR high tech.
Blast Furnace – Smelt a total of 100 tons of metal.
Same as with the ore and coal, not difficult once you plop a smelter. Should only take a few minutes of waiting.
All Oiled Up – Pump 10,000 barrels of crude oil in a day.
One well placed, and expanded, pumping station can produce about 10,000 barrels per day. On a map with more than one deposit you should be fine.
Refined Tastes – Refine 40 barrels of fuel and 40 crates of plastic in a single city in one hour.
Not difficult once you place a refinery. The fuel refiner is a bit glitchy and you may only be able to place three total instead of 4.
A Lot of Lots – Place 6 unique Storage Lot types on any Trade Depot or Trade Port.
Requires upgrade to the trade HQ to get. Freight warehouse doesn't count.
Moving Pictures – Assemble 100 crates of TVs in one day in a single city
Not difficult once you plop a consumer electronics division, then a consumer electronics factory.
Apartment Rows – Have 50 high density, low wealth residential buildings in your city.
Zone a lot of residential and keep your land values low. Mobile homes will turn to two mobile homes, then to small houses, then to apartments, then to tenements. The process just takes awhile.
Llamahound – Have a municipal bus from a neighbor make 100 trips into your city within a year.
If you have a bus terminal in another city you will soon find your city FLOODED with regional buses from that city. Won't take too long.
Busy Downtown – Have at least 100 Commercial buildings in your city.
Low taxes, high population, tourism, will all help. Traffic becomes a huge issue so make sure you have street car lines.
Revolving Doors – Have 25 criminals released from jail cells in one day due to overcrowding.
Casino city, no additional jail cells
Multi-Millionare City – Have $10,000,000 in your treasury.
Build a processocomputetelevision producing city and it won't take long
The Big (Insert Fruit Here) – Have 50 high density, low wealth commercial buildings in your city.
Commercial districts need tons of police and transportation coverage not to mention shoppers to fill them. Try spacing out blocks of commercial buildings in your city for maximum coverage from your citizens.
Difficult Achievements
Big Government – Place one of each of the City Hall departments on a single City Hall.
Basically you need a population of 600,000 to unlock all the departments. The best way to get that high is to build a city of nothing but low wealth high rises - since low wealth buildings are the most dense. Start by making sure the city is covered with regional ambulances, fire, police, garbage, etc... and zone long high density avenues the length of your city. Avoid grids because there will be VERY little traffic since no one has a job. Follow the dotted lines because they will tell you exactly how far apart the roads have to be for maximum density. Lower your taxes to zero (some seed money is required). Don't bother with any schools, industrial, or commercial buildings. Just let the sims move in and the lots grow...and grow. Bulldoze any abandoned buildings and try to avoid building any power plants or water pumps so that no medium or high wealth sims move in. I managed 700,000 and took me about an hour IRL.
Best Mayor Ever! – Have an Approval Rating of 95% or more.
See below
Quid Pro Quo – Place one of each of all the modules on a single Mayor’s Mansion.
Difficult, but not impossible. You'll need a few million in seed money and a blank map to start. As for the seed money part, try building a processocomputer city next door and ship them about 10M bucks. First, you need at least 30,000 population for a mayors mansion. I'd recommend only going for low wealth residential sims to get there. As the wealth level goes up so does their pickyness and it's real hard to keep everyone happy. Build a small grid city with high density streets in the middle of the map. Build a trash dump, fire station, hospital, police station, power plant, city hall, high school, etc... on the EDGE of the map. Putting the polluting stuff too near will make them unhappy and putting the services will cause property values to go up and medium wealth sims to move in - which you don't want. Having all these services is why you need the seed money. Next, build many low wealth parks around your city. Sims will be able to go to the park for happiness (since you're not building any commercial or industrial buildings) and the property values will stay low. If you haven't already, lower your taxes to 0% for everyone so you avoid "ran out of money." Then, wait until you reach 30,000 and plop your mayor mansion on the far outskirts of town (it will also raise property values). Then dezone all your residential buildings so that if you bulldoze an unhappy house/apartment another one doesn't just re-appear. You don't have to maintain population over 30,000 to get the upgrades so you could theoretically have just one happy sim at over 95% and you'll eventually unlock all of them (which is why we're dezoning). Finally, it's just a waiting game. Use the happiness filter layer to find out who's yellow or red and just bulldoze their house - they won't come back and your happiness will increase. Eventually, you'll need a 95% approval rating which basically amounts to bulldozing everyone's house who isn't at 100%. Keep an eye on your mayor's mansion, it'll tell you how many more hours at that happiness level you have to go. If you fall below it for any reason the clock restarts - so make sure you're on top of bulldozing!
Cruisin’ Along – Have 2,000 Sims take a cruise in a day.
Difficult because it requires a marina with cruise ship terminal AND lots of rich people in your city and region. Try placing a few plumbob parks downtown and be sure services are taken care of.
Sin City – Place one of each type of Casino in a single city.
Difficult because getting over that first $100,000 in daily profit from the casinos requires that they be directly next to your train station and far enough away from commercial buildings so people only spend money gambling. Try extending the train line to the heart of your city and surrounding the immediate area with gambling houses. Medium wealth tourists are the key, so make sure you're attracting them.
Penny Slots – Generate $200,000 in total revenue from casinos.
Usually can't be done with just gambling houses alone. My favorite is the sleek casino since you can attract all types of sims and still make a profit. Again, medium wealth tourists are your ticket to profitability so make sure they have enough rooms and space to gamble.
Technophile – Have 40 high density, high tech industrial buildings in your city!
Make sure the ONLY education you have in your city is the university. Community colleges, high schools, libraries, grade schools just won't do. A University will cause your tech level (the yellow gears) to FLY up to the maximum level. Once there it's just a matter of building enough zones to fit them all. Use your grid lines in the road menu to determine optimum spacing to ensure maximum density levels.
Skyscraper Magnet – Have 10 high density, high wealth commercial buildings!
High wealth sims are picky. Make sure you have all your services covered. Place a few plumbob parks at regular intervals around your city to increase land value and push out the poorer businesses. Lower your high wealth commercial taxes to zero.
Billionarie’s Playground – Have 10 high density, high wealth residential buildings in your city!
High wealth sims are picky. Make sure you have all your services covered. Place a few plumbob parks at regular intervals around your city to increase land value and push out the poorer sims. Lower your high wealth residential taxes to zero.
Elite Estates – Have 50 low density, high wealth residential buildings in your city.
Actually pretty difficult, but make sure all your services are covered, you have great education, your taxes are low, and you are far far away from undesirable buildings. The pollution bug makes this achievement difficult to get because people complain the area is "germy."
Office Parks – Have 50 low density, high wealth commercial buildings in your city.
Again key is increasing your land value enough for them to move in. Low taxes, lots of police coverage, proximity to high wealth sims are key.
We Are Not Alone – Ship resource to space center great work
Just takes a lot of resources and to complete
Team Mayor – Grant approvals for 10 buildings for the region.
Plop your city hall modules, university buildings, and do some research and you should have 10 unlocked in no time. Difficult because of the money, population, and time required.
Laboratory Outbreak – Add diagnostic lab to a hospital and have 15 deaths per day
Requires a school of medicine and an unhealthy city to unlock.
SimCity University! – Have a University with each School module.
To unlock all the modules make sure that you only have a university available in the city for education. Plop the three dorm halls as well because you can attract regional students as well. The area around the university requires a huge amount of transportation upgrades (streetcars, buses, trains, etc) to keep the flow of students coming. Adding a regional arcology will send you additional students to fill up your classrooms. Keep an eye out for available upgrades.
You Mean Business! – Plop every City Specialization HQ in the game (No longer broken as of 5/12)
You don't have to have them all in one city, but where's the fun in not trying? Recommend a map with both Oil and either Ore/Coal AND a rail connection for tourists. Unlock the petroleum HQ by extracting more than 10,000 oil per day and the Ore/Coal the same. Once unlocked the best way to get to the next level is actually to buy a bunch of metal/alloy or plastic/fuel over time and sell it beginning at 12:01 am. That way it looks like you're selling 2,000,000 or whatever in petroleum per day without having to do it EVERY day. Once you unlock smelters maxing out the metals HQ is not a big deal - the trade HQ shouldn't be too far behind since they have the same requirements. To max out petroleum requires a few storage lots of plastic/fuel but won't be difficult to get to max level either. The next easiest is the electronics HQ, just plop a community college (NOT university) near some industrial buildings and wait for them to tech level up. Once you unlock processor factories start placing them and unlocking the various electronics expansions should be easy. Word to the wise, go for the consumer electronics expansion and computers - the most profitable production item. Finally, to get your gambling HQ plop a Gambling house right next to your rail station and prioritize medium wealth tourists. My favorite set-up is sign + comedy club + nice hotel + two blackjack parlors. They buffed gambling so I was able to unlock the HQ with just one gambling house, but you may need to add two - just be sure you have it close to your train station and there are plenty of bus stops/rail car stops nearby. Keeping up on your public transportation will prevent your city being flooded with taxis. To unlock the final gambling HQ expansions plop a sleek casino also near your train station and when available select a few low wealth rooms. Should be fine to make it to 200,000 per day.
Airman’s 6-year sentence for stealing $420,000 to cover gambling losses upheld
This is an automatic summary, original reduced by 55%.
FAIRFIELD - The six-year sentence given in the 2015 court-martial of Tefera Workneh, a former airman at Travis Air Force Base who stole $420,000 in government funds to cover his losses playing casino blackjack, has been upheld by the U.S. Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals. Workneh, 32, went to a casino for the first time in 2012 and began to play blackjack, losing $60,000 of his family's money and $43,000 in credit card advances, the appeals court said in its March 24 ruling. "Desperate to gain back his losses," Workneh began issuing U.S. Treasury checks at the Armed Forces Bank at Travis Air Force Base to get more money to gamble, according to the court. The appeal the court ruled on last week included Workneh's assertion that the military judge abused his discretion when he accepted guilty pleas without asking whether Workneh's gambling addiction made him unable to appreciate the nature of his actions or their wrongfulness. Workneh said of the bank fraud that, "I knew it was wrong each time, yet I returned for more money once I had lost it," the court noted. The appeals court did direct that a date be included for Workneh to pay a $42,000 fine or face two additional years of confinement.
