Photo Details
This photo of a beautiful lady was in my parents' collection of old photos. I have no idea who she is. My parents were Guy Parker and Thelma Sims from Polk County, Arkansas. I would guess that they must have been taken prior 1930. Most of their photos had some identification, but there are about 50 that I haven't been able to identify

Mission Accomplished 2.035
Complete the Campaign on any difficulty
There are 8 levels in total. Complete all of them on any difficulty to unlock this achievement.
Complete the Campaign on Hard difficulty
You must beat all 8 levels on the hard difficulty. To be honest, hard in this game isn't that bad. As long as you don't stand in the open, you will be fine. Be aware, if there is a control point that needs to be hacked, sometimes you can just avoid enemies, sneak around them and access it. Sometimes this will be the end of the level, or it will open up a new area and you can leave the enemies behind. Basically, only fight when you really need to and if you do need to fight, take cover often. Fight from a distance if you can.
There are a couple of boss fights which can be challenging, though if you have the right loadout they are managable.
One is against Thorns ship (I think). You'll need crash missiles for this one and/or crash rounds for your machine gun. If you see a red crosshair on the ground, near you, move!
The other is against Thorn. A machine gun with napalm rounds and a missile launcher with the same work wonders.
Note: I can't quite recall these battles, so if I have the enemy wrong, or the weapons, please let me know. I will eventually record videos for these fights...
Use More Gun30
Defeat the Vehicle Engineer in the Prejudice level of the Campaign before he deploys a Mech

Star Power20
Earn 20 Stars
Refer to "Disconnected Superstar" for more information
Offline Celebrity25
Earn 40 Stars
Refer to "Disconnected Superstar" for more information.
Disconnected Superstar30
Earn 60 Stars
For this achievement, you must earn 60 stars in "Offline" matches. This doesn't mean you need to pull your internet cable, but instead play locally against bots. Depending on the difficulty you choose, you will earn varying amounts of stars per match. Easy is one star, medium is two and hard is three. In order to be awarded stars, you must win the match. You can play any of the modes, Swarm, Conquest etc, with any number of bots. As long as you win, you will receive the stars.
If playing without the DLC, you need to complete every single map in each mode on hard. For this reason, I highly recommend obtaining the DLC, as you will have a lot more lee-way. With the DLC, there are 192 available stars, whereas in the base game there is literally 60.
Done with achievements.
I apologise for any incomplete achievement guides.

Citronella Armor20
Win a complete game of Swarm without dying on Medium or harder difficulty
This is easy if you have some friends to play with, however, it can also be done with bots. When choosing your loadout, try to choose napalm grenades and napalm mortar (if they are available to you). Stand next to a supply depot and constantly bombard the control point. If you're under fire, retreat until your shield regenerates, then continue blanketing the control. When you have enough money, you may want to bring down a mech.
The best map is Whiteout in my opinion. Refer to "Exterminator" for tips on beating the map.
Against All Odds10
Win a complete game of Swarm
Swarm mode is a horde style mode, where wave after wave of enemies are sent to hack your control point. You must defend your control point from these enemies for 15 minutes, in order to win a Swarm match. Every 5 minutes an airstrike will be called to help you, it will wipe out all enemies on the map, so keep this in mind when defending.
You can defuse the control point if it is hacked, though there is a small window in which you can do so. Around 30 seconds.
Refer to "Exterminator" for map specific strategies. This achievement can be done on any difficult, so it shouldn't be much of a problem.
In the Membrane30
Win a complete game of Swarm on Insane difficulty
One of the hardest achievements in the game. You're going to need a competent group of friends to stand a chance of completing this. Personally, I did this on the Overseer DLC map with two friends. Two of us had rocket launchers with napalm missiles and a machine gun with napalm. The other had a machine gun + napalm and a sniper rifle. Now, if you can't already tell, napalm is really important to any swarm strategy. Generally, most enemies will head towards the control point and stand next to it, oblivious to the fact that they're standing in fire.
Everyone stays inside, near the control point. Shoot rockets as the enemy comes through the doorway. Make sure friendly fire is off, so that you can shoot at will. Let your friends know when you are making a run for ammo, so that they can cover you. Also, two people should have det packs and napalm grenades, the other needs a repair tool and det packs. When someone gets $100, order a mech. Once the mech arrives, whoever ordered it should get in, and head inside, right next to the control point. Every time an enemy comes around the corner, melee them. Most will die very quickly.
You'll need to watch out for engineers, as they are quite strong and can take your health down very quickly. The mech needs to stay alive. If the mech user is getting low on health, call for help from the person with the repair tool. The two non mech users, need to set up some missile turrets outside, as what really makes or breaks the run is whether you can destroy the enemy mechs. Two will come the first time, if they get to your mech user, they will kill him, therefore it is imperative that the two "Outsiders" focus their fire solely on the mechs.
If you have made it this far, you only really have one more obstacle. Around the 3 minutes remaining mark, three mechs will arrive. If you can kill them or at least keep them away from your own mech inside, you will win.
It may take several attempts, but this method is solid. Keep in mind that you will need to level up in ranked matches or complete specific achievements in order to unlock all of the napalm rounds and equipment.
Note: If anyone has done this on a non-dlc map and has a solid strategy, please feel free to share.
Win a game on each map in Swarm on Hard or Insane difficulty
There are four Swarm maps (in the base game): Eden, Prometheus, Zephyr and Whiteout. While they vary in appearance from one another, the strategy to win is mostly the same for all of them. You will need some mildly competent teammates, as the friendly bots just aren't up to scratch. To win on a map, you need to maintain control of your control point for 15 minutes. If the enemy hacks your control point, you have a limited time to defuse it before the mission is failed.
Note: The supply depots need to be very close to the other turrets in order to auto repair them.

Eden -
This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized 819x460.
As shown in the picture, you want to have minigun turrets and supply depots set up on each of the elevated areas. They have a direct line of site to the control point that you're trying to defend, so they will make light work of most enemies. The turrets above the control point are not entirely necessary, but will help. In regards to your load-out, napalm grenades are essential. If an enemy makes it to the control point, start throwing your grenades with reckless abandon. The enemy will usually stand in the fire, making for an easy kill.
Keep an eye out for the mechs and engineers, as they can really ruin your day. Make sure everyone focuses fire on them, using crash mortars/crash missiles for the mechs and any fire based weapon for the engineers.
Whiteout -
This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized 819x460.
This in my opinion is the easiest map. The enemy will only come from the front and sides, as opposed to every direction on the other maps (except Prometheus). Use the repair tool to maintain your turrets, with special attention paid to your supply depots. They can repair the other turrets, so you must not allow them to be destroyed. All players should choose riot mortars and bombard the control point if enemies get close.
Zephyr -
This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized 819x460.
Each player basically takes a side to watch to begin with. Riot mortars and repair tools are again the order of the day. Your aim here is to get someone a spare $100, so they can order a mech suit. If you want to expedite the acquisition of the mech suit, refrain from building the turrets in the top right. Instead have that player buy the mech suit and stay near the control point. Anyone that comes near should be crushed with the mech suits melee ability. Have the player on the bottom level heal the mech if necessary, or the "mech player" can stand by a supply depot between fights.

Prometheus -
This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized 819x460.
The toughest map. It is very hard to find an efficient place to position the turrets. My team placed them in somewhat of a semi-circle near the control point. Throw napalm grenades if anyone gets close to it, which they probably will. Teamwork will make or break you on this map.
Note: These layouts are "Best case scenario's" you may not be able to get all of the turrets up, as shown in the pictures. Just try to get as many up as you can and you should be fine. If anyone has better strategies, feel free to post.
Win a ranked match on each map in Swarm
In Swarm mode, only one player is required for a server to be ranked. Therefore, you can do this by yourself (with three bot teammates). The four base maps are required for this achievement. It can be done on any difficulty, refer to "Exterminator" for tips on each map.
Finish the obstacle course in the Answers level of the Campaign in under 53 seconds
Win a complete game in Conquest
In Conquest mode, each team battles for control of control points. If your team "Owns" more control points than the opposing team, your team score will go up quicker. You also earn points for your team by killing other players and successfully completing dynamic combat missions. Whichever team reaches the set amount of victory points first (usually 1000), wins.
This can be done locally or online.
Loud Cartographer20
Win a ranked match in each map group in Conquest
Each map has a variation, for Zephyr there is also "Zephyr West, Zephyr East" etc. You only need to win on one of these for it to count towards this achievement. So, if you win on Zephyr East, you can cross Zephyr off your list. The other three maps required for this achievement are Whiteout, Eden and Prometheus.
Note: Ranked matches require at least 3 human players. Refer to "Conquistador" for more information on Conquest mode.
Face Melter10
Kill an enemy with the Siphon Tool
Choose the siphon tool in your loadout and start up a match in any mode. Shoot an enemy until their shield is depleted, then use your siphon tool on them. You need to be relatively close to them for it to work. If you are close, you will see a purple beam extending from your arm to the enemy. It will steal the enemies health and give it to you. If you kill the enemy in this manor, you unlock this achievement.
Falling with Style20
Kill an enemy by dropping on them
You must literally land on the head of an opponent when dropping in. If you land near them and they die, it won't count. If playing offline, start a match with as many bots as possible and when choosing where to drop in, look for red arrows on the map. You will need a lot of luck to get this against bots, as they tend to move when a lot. Be aware of AA zones (designated by large red circles on the map) as you will die if you try to land inside of them.
I would recommend instead to boost this with a friend. Have them stand still and try to drop on them. As you're falling, you can hit the brakes once the bar gets into the red. You will be able to steer a little and still have enough velocity to kill the person you are landing on. If you miss, keep trying. You'll get it eventually.

Napalm in the Morning25
Kill 2 enemies at the same time with Incendiary damage
'Til It Goes Click20
Kill 3 enemies in a row with the Machine Gun without reloading
This is an extremely simple achievement, however, you will not have access to the Machine Gun at the beginning of the Campaign. If you want to get the achievement quickly, either play in Swarm mode or (offline) Conquest mode. Set the difficulty to "Trivial" and kill 3 enemies without reloading. The Machine Gun has a large magazine, so this should be very easy.
Spice of Life15
Kill an enemy with each weapon type
There are seven weapons in the game, they are as follows:
Machine Gun
Assault Rifle
Sniper Rifle
Missile Launcher
Pulse Cannon
All you need to do is get a kill with each of them. You can play Swarm mode if you're looking to get it done quickly. Each time you get a kill with the two weapons in your loadout, find a supply depot and change them. Keep going through them until you have a kill with all seven weapons.
The Old One-Two Punch10
Kill an enemy with any weapon after hitting them with a Grenade
Nice and easy. Make sure you have a grenade in your loadout, find an enemy, throw the grenade and wait for it to explode. If it deals damage to the enemy, fire upon them. When they die, you'll unlock this achievement.
Can I Take Your Pulse?15
Kill 20 enemies with the Pulse Cannon
Close-Quarters Specialist15
Get 20 Defenses or Denials with the Shotgun
Choose the shotgun in your loadout and start a Swarm match. Stand right next to the control point and shoot anyone who gets near it. This will give you a defense bonus. If they start hacking your point and you kill them, this will give you a denial. Get 20 defenses or denials to unlock this achievement.
Note: This can be done in any mode with control points.
That's Assault, Brotha20
Kill 5 enemies in a game with the Assault Rifle from over 100m away
If you hover your crosshair over an enemy for a couple of seconds, you will scan them. You will then be able to see how far away they are from you. Make sure you have the assualt rifle and start either a Conquest match or Swarm match. Scan enemies and kill them with the assault rifle if they are more than 100m away. Use lock-on if you're having trouble hitting them from such distance.
Demolition Man15
Destroy 32 Structures with the Missile Launcher
Each control point in Conquest mode generally has several structures surrounding it. Machines guns, Missile turrets, AA turrets etc. Shoot these with your missile launcher, once they've blown up, move on to the next control point and do the same thing. They will eventually repair themselves and thus be ready to be destroyed again. Keep doing this, once you reach 32 destroyed structures, achievement unlocked.
Mortardom15 Destroy 5 Vehicles with Mortars
Riot Mortars are the order of the day here. Make sure you have them equipped and when you see a vehicle, target it with your mortar. You will see a reticule form on the ground when using the mortar, this is how you know where you're targetting. Get the killing blow using mortars on five vehicles to unlock this achievement.
Knife to Meet You10
Fatality an enemy with the Knife
At the beginning of level two in the Campaign, there is an enemy with his back turned to you. Walk up behind him and press F (?) to fatality him. A knife obviously needs to be equipped. Alternatively, you can get this in Swarm mode or Conquest mode. Choose the Serrated Knife in your load-out, walk/run up to an enemy and do the same as described above. Whether they are facing you or not is irrelevent.

Natural 20!15
Kill 20 enemies with headshots using the Sniper Rifle
As a sniper, you should always be aiming for the head. You will take down the enemy in one-to-two shots, depending on whether their shields are intact. There are several sections in the campaign which promote the use of the sniper rifle, so you can get many of the headshots in those sections. Alternatively, you can work on the headshots in any of the other modes. The bots are easy targets which means getting 20 headshots against them won't be a problem.
It's a Trap!10
Destroy an enemy Detpack
Garbage Day!20
Complete a ranked match with the highest Combat score using only the Pistol (12 or more players)
No matter how good you are at the game, you are unlikely to get this legitimately. Therefore, I recommend finding someone to boost with. Don't panic over the "12 or more players" description. Bots count too! You and your friend should agree upon a part of the map to meet at, then whoever is going for the achievement kills the other person with their pistol. The person who died keeps dropping near the other person and dying, then repeating.
Note: A ranked match requires 3 human players. Also, if you use anything other than the pistol to inflict damage, the achievement is negated for the current match.
Moving Violation10
Kill an enemy by colliding with them using the Bike
Save enough money to call down a bike ($100). Once you are on the bike, line up an enemy, shoot them a little then use your boost and run over them. If you kill them, you unlock the achievement. If not, try again.
Millennium Club35 Kill 1000 enemies
Kills count across all modes. If you're looking to get this done quickly, play a lot of Swarm mode. Try to make use of mechs, as their melee attack obliterates most enemies. Throw down some machine gun turrets for easy kills and just stick with it. It will come in time.
Duck Hunt15
Kill 10 enemies with the Deployable AA Turret
Best done with a friend, though possible with bots. If boosting, simply put down a AA turret ($40) then have your friend constantly drop in its zone. If attempting to do it with bots, you will need to be patient. Put down an AA turret each game and hope for the best. Play on trivial difficulty to increase your chances of getting kills.
Backseat Driver10
Kill an enemy with any secondary Vehicle seat
Either enter a teammates vehicle, or call down your own and swap seat, then kill an enemy. The tank is a moving fortress, so if one of those is in play, try to get inside of it. The mortar seat is probably your best bet, though anything other than the main gun will work.
I'm the Juggernaut...10
Kill an enemy by colliding with them while Overdriving
You will enter Overdrive after sprinting for a certain period of time. To kill an enemy while using Overdrive, you must collide with them when they are low on health. This can be done in any mode, though I would recommend a large scale Conquest match. Enter Overdrive and try to find someone who is already in a firefight, so that they don't see you coming.

Win a ranked match while holding the enemy team to less than half your team's VP
Gotta Cap 'Em All25
Capture each Control Point at least once in a game on a large map
Customize your armor type
Get to da Choppa15
Survive against the Elimination DCM
This can be done in either online or offline Conquest mode. DCM's (Dynamic Combat Missions) will be randomly triggered as you play. When the Elimination DCM is triggered, you will notice a targeting reticule appears over your triangle on the map. The enemy can see your location, regardless of whether you are in the range of a Sensor Array or not. This can make it difficult to stay alive. I suggest entering a large game (or playing against trivial bots) and remaining in a well fortified base (control point). If you have enough money to order a vehicle, it will make life easier for you.
Keep out of the action, stay alive for the 3(?) minutes and the achievement is yours.
Oh, the Irony10

Mission Possible35

Money in the Banana Stand15
Purchase every Vehicle and Deployable
As you kill enemies and complete objectives, you will earn money. Your current total is shown in the bottom left hand corner. In Swarm mode and Conquest mode, you are able to purchase vehicles and deployables by pressing E (?) and choosing a valid spot on the battlefield to place the aforementiond items (the item will turn green). Make sure that you do not try to place a deployable or vehicle within an enemy AA turrets range. You will see a warning appear if you attempt to do this. If you do not heed the warning, it will be destroyed. The price of each vehicle/deployable is as follows:
Supply Depot - $20
Sensor Array - $20
Minigun Turret - $40
Missile Turret - $40
AA Turret - $40
Mech Suit - $100
Bike - $100
Heavy Tank - $180

First things first, know that badges can only be obtained in ranked Conquest matches. This means that there needs to be at least 3 human players in the game. Second of all, you're going to want to abuse the less than stellar enemy AI to get a lot of these badges. I will explain how/why below. Last thing, each of these need to be done in a single round.
Infantry assault – kill 3 target players in the Elimination DCM
When the Elimination DCM is activated, you will notice that all of your opponents appear on the map with a crosshair around their arrow. As they are eliminated, the crosshair will be removed. The goal of the Elimination DCM is to eliminate (or survive, depending on which team you are on) every member of the opposing team, however, for this badge you only need to kill 3.
If you have enough money, you should call down a mech or tank for easy kills. If instead you are on foot, the only option is to get into the thick of the action. Make good use of your equipment, throw grenades for example, then lock on with your gun and blast the enemy away.
Specialist – kill 8 players with equipment
Generally napalm grenades/mortars are the best choice of equipment to take into battle, however, for this badge I recommend the knife. Well, as long as the enemy team consists of mostly bots, I recommend it. With the knife, if you can get close to an enemy, you can fatality them, which is a one hit kill. This makes 8 kills with equipment very doable.
Marksman – kill 20 players with weapons
Do whatever you need to to make $100 (capture control points, kill enemies, get assists etc), then call down a mech. Use the melee ability on any bots that you see. This is a very easy way to accumulate kills and points.
Only kills with turrets will not count towards this badge. I think...
Anti-vehicular combat – destroy 3 vehicles
While this can be done legitimately, I highly suggest that you boost it with a friend. It can be a hassle to get in a proper match. If boosting it, your friend will need to save $300, then call down 3 vehicles (bikes preferably). You can destroy them even if no-one is inside of them, it still counts.
If you decide to do it properly, you're going to need luck on your side. The bots rarely call down vehicles until near the end of the match, so you'll be racing the clock. When inside of the vehicles (especially bikes) they are quite hard to hit. Actual players are even better at avoiding, so you are unlikely to get it against them either. Choose crash missiles and crash mortars for your loadout and try to find unoccupied vehicles if you can (it does tend to happen fairly often near the end of the match) and destroy them. Destroy 3 in one match to unlock the badge.
Vehicular combat – kill 8 players with vehicle weapons
This is actually one of the easier badges. You are going to want to save $100 for a mech, then, when it arrives hop in and start using your melee ability on bots. It only takes a couple of hits to kill them and since you have plenty of armour, you will essentially be unstoppable against them.
This can also be done with a tank or bike.
Point offense – get 6 offenses
To get an offense, you need to be within a certain radius of an enemy control point when you kill an enemy. The radius isn't very big, so your best bet is to stand beside the control point. You can get a lot of these naturally, by hacking a control point, then waiting for an enemy to come and try to defuse it. I would recommend the machine gun and some napalm grenades for your loadout.
Retaliation – get 4 avenges
To avenge a teammate, you must kill their killer within a small window of time. At an estimate, I would say 5 seconds. Simply stick close to your teammates (the blue arrows), back them up in firefights and the 4 avenges should come in no time.
Squad tactics – get 8 assisted kills with your squad mates
To get an assisted kill, you must do some damage to an opponent, then have a squadmate deliver the killing blow. Squads in Section 8: Prejudice consist of four players. On the map, they are signified by light blue arrows (instead of the standard dark blue). Always drop in on your teammates, instead of selecting your own place to drop. Follow them closely, shoot, but don't kill whoever they target and you will rack up the assists. Once you have 8, you will be awarded the badge.
Distinguished service – finish with one of the top 3 scores in a game of 12+ players
Don't be intimidated by this, the 12 + players includes bots. Enter a server that has bots enabled and allows more than 12 players, then get down to business. Capture points, get kills, assists, repairs etc to increase your score. Once you have $100, call down a mech and use the melee ability on your enemies. The fatality action awards the most points of any action in the game, so you can abuse this to make your way into the top 3.

Enduring service complete a game (must play at least 50% of game)
Pretty self explanatory. Enter a game that is just starting, or has only been going for a little while and remain in the game until it ends (either team reaches 1000 victory points).
Honorable service finish game with highest teamwork score on your team
There are several ways to increase your teamwork score. Obviously these revolve around helping your team, so with that in mind, repair, assist, capture control points and complete DCMs to put yourself in good stead for this badge. .
Battlefield victory win a game with your team
To win a game of Conquest, your team needs to reach 1000 victory points before the opposing team does. The simplest way to increase your victory point total, is to take over control points. However, DCMs are sometimes the deciding factor, especially when both teams own two control points each. Therefore, you should do your utmost to complete the DCMs for your team.
Conquest capture 3 control points
To hack a control point, stand next to it and press F (?). It takes about 30 seconds to capture a control point from the time you hack it. In that time, you need to defend it from enemies who will try to defuse it. If you can, play with a friend and have them cover you while you hack the control points.
Objective support assist in the capture of 2 control points
To assist in the capture of a control point, stand near it when it is being captured by one of your teammates.
Guardian get 8 defenses or denials
A defense requires you to defend your control point from enemies. If they are within a certain radius of the control point and you kill them, you will be given a defense. A denial on the other hand, is awarded for killing an enemy who is literally in the process of hacking your control point. For either of them, you want to guarding your control point. Let the enemy come to you, then blast them away when they get there!
Sapper hack 6 control points
You only need to hack, not capture! Go to an enemy controlled control point, press F (?) when standing next to the control point, then move onto the next one. If your hack is disarmed, you can go back and hack the control point again. It's easy to boost this way, if you have a friend playing with you. Hack, let them disarm it, then hack it. Repeat as needed.
Jammer recapture your lost sensor jammer and hold it in a successful DCM
When the Jammer mission is activated (and the Jammer begins under your control), allow the enemy team to capture it, then recapture it before the timer expires. Defend it, once the timer expires, you will get the badge.
Air assault successfully call in an airstrike in a DCM
When the Air Assault mission is activated, you will see many icons appear on your map. There will be 2-3 airstrike points and one designating the beacon (?) which you need to grab and bring to one of the airstrike points. Ideally you want a friend covering you while you make a run for it. Choose a point which has the least amount of resistance surrounding it, take the beacon there and you'll get the badge.
Espionage return the intelligence in a DCM
This is similar to the Air Assault mission, except there is only one place you can take the intelligence. Pick up the intelligence (it's a briefcase) and work with your team to get it back to where it belongs. You'll know where, as it appears on your map/radar.
Search and recovery recover 2 pieces of wreckage in the Recovery DCM
Normally, there are about 9 pieces of wreckage to recover, so two shouldn't be a problem for you. Check your map, go to the two closest to you. When you get to them, hold F (?) until the bar reaches the end. When it does, you have recovered a piece of wreckage!
Interception destroy the convoy in a DCM
The convoy is similar to the tank. It has two of the tanks weapons, and basically the same amount of armour. Keep your distance, use crash missiles and mortars. If there is no one else around when the convoy is being delivered, place a missile turret near where it will land. This will help a lot. You must deliver the final blow before the convoy reaches its destination, to be awarded this badge.
Using a tank is also a good idea.
Special ops kill the infiltrator in a DCM
One of the opposing team members will collect (and put on the Inflitrator suit) when this mission is activated. The Infiltrator suit provides greater health/armour and limits the player to the assault rifle and missile launcher. The Infiltrator will appear as a sort of helmet on your map. Find him, then give him everything you've got. A mech is very useful for this DCM, as your melee attack will avoid the Infiltrators shield. When you kill him, you get the badge.
Outpost raze destroy the outpost in a DCM
The outpost is basically a large, stationary supply depot with an AA gun on top. Follow the same advise outlined for the convoy badge and you'll have the badge in no time.
Assassination kill the VIP in a DCM
The VIP is a stronger version of the opponents you're used to. He has more armour and health, so, if possible I would advise you to take him on whilst in a vehicle (such as the mech, or tank) or to work together with your team. If working with your team, be aware that you need to deliver the killing blow to be awarded the badge.
The VIP appears as a shield on the map.

Demolitionist – destroy 6 supply depots, sensor arrays or AA turrets
Choose the missile launcher and mortar for your loadout. Go to enemy control points and you will usually find a sensor array, a supply depot and an AA turret. Destroy them, then move onto the next control point. If you have destroyed all of the turrets (around the control point), you can wait a little and they will regenerate.
Circumvent defenses – destroy 8 minigun or missile turrets
Choose the missile launcher and mortar for your loadout. Go to enemy control points and you will usually find 2-3 minigun/missile turrets scattered around. Once you've destroyed them, move onto the next enemy control point and do the same. Each control point has turrets that regenerate, so if you have destroyed all of them, wait a little while and they will come back.
Security automation – kill 4 players with turrets
You want to place machine gun turrets or missile turrets somewhere where they have a direct line of sight to a control point. They should be relatively close to the control point too. Place one or two supply depots next to your turrets, so that they can help by repairing them. Enemy bots will focus totally on the control point in most cases and ignore the turret shooting them.
Intelligence network – deploy 3 sensor arrays
Sensor Arrays cost $20, so you'll need to earn $60 total to call down 3 of them. Sensor arrays sense an enemies movement (within a certain radius) and highlight the enemy on your radar.
Supplier – deploy 4 supply depots
Supply Depots cost $20, so you'll need to earn $80 total to call down 4 of them. Supply depots heal and give ammo when you are next to them, so they come in quite handy.
Engineered defense – supply 4 turrets
Call down a supply depot next to a turret (it can be a control points turret that is already there, or one of your own). Do this three more times and you will get this badge.
Repair automation – get 20 auto repairs
Do the same as in the "Engineered Defense" guide. The supply depots will heal the turrets if they get damaged (make sure they are close enough). If your supply depot is destroyed, deploy another to replace it.
Field medic – get 16 repairs
You need the repair tool in your loadout. When you see a wrench icon on your radar/map, go towards it and repair whatever the icon is over (it could be a player, or a turret). You get one repair for repairing about a quarter of the turrets/players health. Just constantly run around to each wrench icon you see and repair. There is a cooldown on the repair tool, but it doesn't last that long.

Breaking up is painful, stressful, and all-consuming. But for many, the real torture comes after you've somewhat recovered and you find out that your ex has a new love in his life
On November 9, 1997, the Denver Broncos scored 34 points and beat the Carolina Panthers. Nearly 15 years to the day, the Broncos scored 36 points and beat the Carolina Panthers.
My college-age daughter is home and mentioned that she was thinking about going hombre. Panicked, I thought this meant she was considering something morphological...
Mila Kunis was named Sexiest Woman Alive by Esquire Magazine, and Mila totally deserves it. Check out the pictures and see if you agree!
Mila is a hot number. She's on the cover of Glamour magazine. And she has so much to say.
A comedy like Ted feels like such a breath of fresh air -- a film that takes chances not just with its premise (a living teddy bear with a predilection for hard partying) but with a sense of humor that's prepared to go to any length (or depth) to get a laugh.
Seth MacFarlane's Ted joins the ranks of Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle and Observe and Report among razor-sharp cultural satires cleverly disguised as dumb comedies.
On June 29, a movie about a talking teddy bear, Ted, will be in theaters across North America. Ted stars Mark Wahlberg (The Big Hit) as a grown man who lives with Ted, a teddy bear brought to life by a magic wish. Will Ted make you laugh? Will Ted make you feel guilty for laughing? As a service, with an early review, we answer every question that you could possibly have about Ted.
Isn't there someone close to MacFarlane who stands up to his recycled mediocrity? Is he only surrounded by yes men who think that a concept that was cool in 1999 and repeated in every subsequent project is still fresh?
With 2012 marking the 90th birthday of Judy Garland, there's a special way to celebrate, at West Hollywood's French Market Showroom with acclaimed tribute artist Peter Mac as a triumphant 1960s-era Judy Garland.
I eat chocolate just about every day. Okay, every day. I love nothing more than a good rich dark chocolate. It exhilarates. It satisfies. My father loved chocolate. I got my stomach for sweets from him.
If we let go of the need to fit ourselves into the brand, the image, the iconic self, maybe we'd have an easier time figuring out who we really are.
Like in nature when leaves turn to those gorgeous autumn colors against the gray sky, a stylist like myself becomes instantly inspired to create warm "spiced up" colors for the long winter nights ahead.
As long as you both understand the terms of the sexual relationship -- that you both really don't want a romantic relationship -- no one gets hurt (in theory, at least), and you both get, well, laid.
This past week I came across a large number of weight quotes attributed to various starlets that I feel need debunking -- both for their sake and for ours.
Hollywood always seems to be a little behind the times. Twice this year the big screen has explored a sexual concept that's almost at the ho-hum stage...

I like to see it lap the Miles
by Emily Dickinson
Lines 4-7 Summary
Get out the microscope, because we're going through this poem line-by-line.
Line 4-5
And then — prodigious step Around a Pile of Mountains —
- After its pit stop, the train goes onward, to step effortlessly around mountains – not just one, but a "pile."
- We have a great sense of just how massive this locomotive is so far; it's large enough to require tanks of food, and to skip around mountain ranges.
- Despite all the animal-like descriptions, this train is certainly no real animal…
Lines 6-7
And supercilious peer
In Shanties — by the sides of Roads —
- The train "superciliously" (that is, haughtily or condescendingly) looks into the ramshackle buildings by the roadside.
- Clearly, the speaker can't get enough of personification. The train isn't just a big iron thing—it actually has a personality.
- We think that by giving the train a snooty attitude, the speaker might be telling us that she's not totally sold on this new technology. What do you think?

Editor's note: ESPN senior NFL writer John Clayton's weekly "First and 10" column takes you around the league, with a look at the best game of the week, followed by primers for 10 other games. Here's his look at Week 8 of the 2005 season.
First Philadelphia Eagles at Denver Broncos | Scouting report
Coach Andy Reid of the Eagles is at an interesting crossroads this season. The Eagles are 4-2 in the very competitive NFC East. Donovan McNabb is playing with a sports hernia that will require surgery after the season. But his run-to-pass ratio is all out of whack. The Eagles are throwing an incredible 73.4 percent of the time. Reid is calling only 18 running plays a game, and he's a got a running back (Brian Westbrook) complaining about his lack of carries.
Will the Eagles become more ground-oriented in the Mile High City? No one is holding his breath, but it's an interesting subplot for Sunday's game between the Eagles and the Broncos. Reid vows to be more balanced, but as a play caller, he has to react to the feel of the game.
Some of it might be directly tied to McNabb's injuries. It's taking McNabb longer to get going in the first quarter of games. Though his first-quarter numbers (36 of 61 for 422 yards) aren't bad, he's struggling in the opening series. He's had six three-and-outs and an interception in the first two possessions of games. In those possessions, he's completing only 40 percent of his passes.
The slow starts have put the Eagles into early comeback mode several times. They have been outscored 48-14 in first quarters, forcing more passes. Plus, the sports hernia has taken McNabb out of the running game. He's had 14 runs for 8 yards in six games. Last year he ran 41 times for 220 yards.
But can the Eagles' running offense get jump-started on the road in Denver? The Broncos have a good defense. They are giving up 89.6 yards a game on the ground. They are used to leading in first quarters, outscoring opponents 33-20 in seven games. Plus, other than Champ Bailey, the Broncos are using a group of young, small cornerbacks that the Eagles will be tempted to throw against.
It also will be interesting to see what game plan the Eagles will come up with to try to stop the Broncos' running game. Last week, Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Johnson came up with a magnificent blitzing package to throttle Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson. Often, he overloaded one side of the blocking scheme with an extra rusher and contained Tomlinson all day.
The Broncos haven't been forced into games in which they needed to pass much. Run blitzes may put the Broncos in a position to throw more than 26 times, something coach Mike Shanahan prefers not to do.
After a season-opening loss to the Miami Dolphins, Shanahan took some of the air out of the Broncos' football, and they've become a smarter offense.
Jake Plummer relied more on the legs of Mike Anderson and Tatum Bell instead of his arm. The Broncos tried throwing less than 26 passes a game, and their win total rose dramatically. The Broncos won five straight and had a 13-point lead on the road Sunday against an improved Giants team. But by now, everyone knows how that game ended -- an Eli Manning-led rally and a New York victory.
This game will be an interesting chess match of great offensive and defensive minds.
And 10. Buffalo Bills at New England Patriots (ESPN, Sunday, 8:30 ET) | Scouting report This could have been a bigger Sunday night game if the Bills had a better record, but it's still an interesting matchup. First, Tedy Bruschi is back for the Patriots. All signs point to his being on the field, although no one knows for how long. He's coming off a mild stroke and a heart problem during the offseason. Everyone but Bruschi and the doctors he consulted thought he would wait until next season. There couldn't be a more emotional return to inspire the crowd. Bruschi's absence was noticeable on the Patriots' defense. The Pats haven't had good play at inside linebacker, particularly against the run, during the first six games. Richard Seymour's two-game absence because of a knee injury locked the Patriots into a 3-4, even though they have shown signs of being better in a 4-3. In their last game against the Broncos, the Patriots had to use Mike Vrabel as an inside linebacker for the first time in his career. Even though the Bills are 3-4, this game is huge because they are about the only thing that can challenge the Patriots in the AFC East. The Dolphins and Jets are falling. The Bills are regrouping their offense around backup quarterback Kelly Holcomb. Patriots halfback Corey Dillon is having trouble shaking an ankle injury, which could be a break for the Bills' defense. The Bills' defense continues to have trouble stopping the run, though it shouldn't be too much of a surprise. They let defensive tackle Pat Williams go in the offseason in free agency and they lost fellow tackle Ron Edwards and linebacker Takeo Spikes for the season. Sam Adams is getting extra attention and is bothered by sore shoulders. Overall, the Bills are giving up 159 yards a game on the ground. Despite the Bills' record, though, this should be a dandy.
9. Washington Redskins at New York Giants | Scouting report The NFC East is exciting but a little bit strange this season. In a division featuring Reid, Tom Coughlin, Bill Parcells and Joe Gibbs, you'd expect a lot of balanced offenses. The Eagles are throwing the ball almost three-quarters of the time and the Giants are throwing 58.6 percent of the time. The Redskins got a little bit more balanced last week and brought their percentage down to 53.3, but Mark Brunell is dropping back to pass 37 times a game, which seems like a lot. Still, these NFC East games are fascinating and should make for great drama as the season continues. The Giants have been tough to beat at home. Sure, their defense is challenged against the pass. They are giving up 295.8 yards a game through the air, which must drive Coughlin crazy. The Redskins love to max protect and send only Santana Moss and David Patten into routes, a strategy that has worked all year. Gibbs went with Moss and Patten because of their speed and downfield ability. The max protection has bought Brunell time to get the ball to those receivers, and their run-after-the-catch ability has given the passing offense more big plays. Giants cornerbacks either have to stay with their coverages longer and better or it could be a tough day. On the flip side, the Redskins have a lot of defensive tackle injuries, which forced them into a 3-4 last week. Linebacker LaVar Arrington responded with his first great game in a long time. The winner will be atop the NFC East at 5-2 in what figures to be a hot race over the next two months.
8. Kansas City Chiefs at San Diego Chargers | Scouting report The Chiefs couldn't feel better about life. Last Thursday, they went to the practice field knowing there was a chance to jump on the plane the next day and head to Miami for a football game moved up because of Hurricane Wilma. Things couldn't have gone better. The Chiefs won the game and earned two extra days of rest and more time to prepare for this crucial AFC West game. The Chiefs turned adversity into a benefit. The Chargers, meanwhile, can't catch a break. They are already in the midst of a schedule in which they play four of five teams that had a bye week to prepare for them. Philadelphia's extra time cost them because Johnson came up with a great game plan to stop Tomlinson. He had 7 yards on 17 carries against Eagles run blitzes. The Chiefs have had extra time to study that game plan and see what they might use. For the Chargers, this game is crucial. A fifth loss could virtually kill any chances of getting a wild-card playoff berth. Easy schedules should give the Bengals and Jaguars 10 or 11 wins, and a fifth loss by the Chargers through October would make it impossible for them to catch those teams in the final two months. The Chargers just want to get to .500, try to beat the Jets next week and get to their own bye week at 5-4.
7. Chicago Bears at Detroit Lions | Scouting report Hey, this game is highly referenced only because it settles a first-place tie. Somebody has to win the NFC North, so why not one of these two teams? The Bears won the first meeting 38-6 in Week 2. Of course, that was during the Joey Harrington era. That mistake-filled loss started to seal the eventual fate of the doomed quarterback. Now Jeff Garcia is in charge. With his leadership alone, the Lions squeaked out a road victory over Cleveland. It's the only road win for an NFC North squad. That's right, NFC North teams are usually considered road kill. The Bears clearly have the best defense in the division, and that isn't anything to laugh about. They are also hitting the Lions at a good time. The Lions are without their best two cornerbacks, their best three wide receivers and might not have defensive tackle Shaun Rogers healthy enough to play. With rookie Kyle Orton at quarterback, the Bears aren't going to vary from their game plan. They are going to run Thomas Jones, even though he's fighting through a multi-week knee injury. If the Bears win, suddenly it's starting to look like it could become their division to lose.
6. Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers (ABC, Monday, 9 ET) | Scouting report When the season opened, this looked like a sure bet to be one of the best Monday night games of the year. The Ravens were supposed to make a Super Bowl run coming off their 9-7 season in 2004. The Ravens have disappointed. Kyle Boller got hurt, and the passing offense is just trying to get by with backup Anthony Wright. The offensive line has been a big disappointment. Jamal Lewis can't get the running game going. Now the Ravens' defense, which ranks second in the NFL, heads into Pittsburgh without its best two players: free safety Ed Reed and linebacker Ray Lewis. These two teams are physical teams, so hitting should be intense. The problem for the Ravens is they will be more prone to make turnovers, something that will be fatal in a road game in Pittsburgh. The Steelers look even stronger as a team than their 15-1 squad in 2004 even though their record isn't going to be as good. The Steelers' formula works perfectly. They pound the ball with the running game and great blocking. Willie Parker has added a different element to the running game with his quickness and elusiveness, but this is an AFC North game, so expect to see more of Jerome Bettis. Parker might be fast, but these are games for The Bus.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars at St. Louis Rams | Scouting report Interim coach Joe Vitt has to settle into his job for the remainder of the season now that Mike Martz is taking off the final nine games because of his heart infection. Vitt has done great work. He motivated the team to jump to a 17-0 start against the Colts, even though Indy eventually won. The Rams won an emotional game last week against the Saints. Once again, Vitt doesn't get the full benefits of being the Rams coach. He won't have Marc Bulger, Torry Holt, Isaac Bruce and Leonard Little, four Pro Bowl-caliber player. That should give the big edge to the Jaguars in what appears to be a playoff season. Still, this could be a trap game for them, as the Saints found out last week. The Rams are still tough at home and their offense has enough talent to score points. They will need more running from Steven Jackson to get moving, and the Jaguars have been spotty at best against the run. They've had bad games stopping the run, which is a surprise for a defense based around defensive tackles John Henderson and Marcus Stroud. The Jaguars are giving up 120.8 yards a game on the ground. The Jaguars still do things on defense at a playoff level because they are giving up only 16.8 points a game and have victories over the Steelers and Bengals. For whatever reason, though, they can't get their offense to score more points. They are averaging 18 points a game, and if they don't get more than that against the Rams, they'll have a tough time winning.
4. Green Bay Packers at Cincinnati Bengals | Scouting report The Bengals have to put aside the frustrations of being overpowered by the Steelers last week and get back to business. They can't look back. Their schedule is one of the easiest in football. If no one emerges in the NFC North with a winning record, the Bengals could have as many as 11 games against losing teams. They are 5-0 against losing teams so far. They have this game and next week's game against Baltimore before the bye, and the Bengals aren't going to apologize for being 7-2 if they can win both. Still, coach Marvin Lewis has to worry about a letdown. The Packers come to town without Ahman Green, Najeh Davenport and Javon Walker, who are out for the season. Robert Ferguson is out for a month. Brett Favre has played an incredible month of football, but can that continue when he's throwing to a double-covered Donald Driver, two tight ends and a bunch of training camp receivers? Carson Palmer's streak of nine straight games in which he had a passer rating of 100 or better ended against the Steelers last week. He might want to put on a show against the Favre.
3. Arizona Cardinals at Dallas Cowboys | Scouting report These teams met in the preseason, and the Cardinals looked like the better club. The Cardinals' defense was flying. Kurt Warner seemed to be in control of the offense. The Cowboys were still adjusting to Drew Bledsoe at quarterback and problems at the right tackle position. Plus, the defense was adjusting to a 3-4. What a difference a couple of months have made. The Cowboys are a 4-3 team that shows playoff ability. The Cardinals, well, look like the Cardinals. Injuries have devastated the Cards, who have had to put 11 players on injured reserve this year. Josh McCown continues to start over Warner, who is coming off a groin injury. While the defense is playing OK, it's not at the level everyone thought it would be in what has turned into a typical 2-4 Cardinals season. The Cowboys' defense looks great. The 3-4 has been a big success. In five of the Cowboys' seven games, opponents have scored less than 20 points. The baffling thing is how the Cowboys have lost three games. The problem has been the fourth quarter. Teams are getting a third of their yards against the Cowboys in the fourth quarter. They gave up two touchdown passes to the Redskins in the final four minutes of one game. Last week, they gave up 10 points in 40 seconds to the Seahawks. Parcells needs to work on the big finish.
2. Minnesota Vikings at Carolina Panthers | Scouting report The Panthers are worried because they know teams that make big comebacks for wins in the previous week are dangerous. The Vikings came back from a 17-0 deficit against the Packers last week and won 23-20 in a dramatic game. Daunte Culpepper threw for 280 yards and didn't have an interception, but the offense still has to stop the fumbles. What the Vikings can't afford to do is get off to a bad start on the road. Their first quarters have been decent. They've outscored opponents 24-21 in the fourth quarter. The second quarters have been unbelievably bad. They've been outscored 77-10. If that trend continues, it will be hard for them to win any road games. Fall behind in Carolina and the Panthers will wear down the defense with running plays. Stephen Davis is pounding the ball well. The offensive line is rested from the bye week.
1. Oakland Raiders at Tennessee Titans | Scouting report LaMont Jordan was right in one sense. He needed more than 20 carries to get going. His two 20-plus carry games have resulted in more than 100 yards in each contest and have been part of the team's two victories. But the Raiders haven't won on the road. The Titans are the NFL's youngest team and they get Steve McNair back after missing a game with a back injury. The Titans knew heading into this season this was going to be a long year. They have so many young players on defense, it was going to take until November to settle down. The numbers aren't bad, though. They rank 13th overall giving up 306.7 yards a game, but it's the points allowed (25.7) that is killing the team. The Raiders scored 38 last week against the Bills, but a lot of people weren't happy the Raiders went for a score instead of kneeling down toward the end. Norv Turner wanted to get his team in the habit of scoring. After averaging 20 points a game last year, the Raiders, despite the additions of Randy Moss and Jordan, had averaged just 18 points through their first five contests. The late touchdown against Buffalo jacked up their scoring offense to 21.3. Moss played through three injuries to be on the field and was available for 14 snaps against the Bills. The defense has some worries. It lost Charles Woodson and Derrick Gibson and now has to go with one of the youngest secondaries in football, maybe even younger than the Titans'.

Aside From That, Mrs. Lincoln, How's ObamaCare Implementation Going?
In this post at CATO @ Liberty, the Writer asserts that,
The Washington Post has published a remarkable exposé on the Obama administration's foundering efforts to implement ObamaCare.
The article paints a picture of a White House that did not know what it was getting into, either in terms of public opposition or the technical challenges of implementation. It likens the task of getting young adults to buy ObamaCare's health plans to getting young adults to vote, despite a glaring difference between those challenges. (Hint: one of them requires young adults to shell out hundreds of dollars per month.) But this exposé is most remarkable for not exposing two lawsuits that by far pose the greatest challenge to ObamaCare's survival.

2014 Continental GTC V8
by Grant from Texas | December 21, 2014
Purchased the car locally end of year price far below the stated MSRP. Beautiful car with many options. The car feels like it fits like a leather glove. Paint work is flawless; no orange peel and the interior is mostly leather. The performance for the GTC V8 is remarkable for a 5300 pound car, it is there when you need it. The noise level with the top up is as advertised; quiet and tight, no perceivable wind noise. Fit and finish impeccable, not a lot of room in the two back seats. Overall a 5 star car with minor points loss for lack of blind side assist and lack of any 3-5 year prepaid maintenance.

Amazing car, Amazing deal
by Max from south Florida | May 19, 2014
I saw a 2014 Bentley GTC on Cars.com and sent in an inquiry. The next day, Greg at the Bentley dealership called me and we worked a deal on the car over the phone and internet. All the paper work was done over the internet and through overnight mail. The vehicle was trucked to me from Atlanta to south Florida with a terrific driver to deliver the car to me. I would do business with this dealership anytime.

text: As with its 2010 predecessor, accumulated from several lots – in this instance representing picking across a wide range of parcels to achieve material of sufficiently modest must weight and potential levity – the Muller 2011 Scharzhofberger Riesling Kabinett (this year's sole wine of its Pradikat, and carrying A.P. #2) weighs in at 9.5% alcohol. High-toned mint and wintergreen in the nose as well as delicacy, lift and animation on the palate remind me of this year's generic Scharzhof bottling. Juicy abundance of fresh apple, pear, and lime are threaded with herbal, floral and stony nuances, culminating in a lusciously sustained, invigoratingly bright and vibrantly animated finish. This should show well through at least 2025.

Artist biography
Bacon passed much of his time on his East Anglian estates at Culford and Brome. Netherlandish influences are evident in his work, and he is known to have made a 1613 visit to the Low Countries. Fewer than a dozen extant works are attributable to Bacon; however, it is certain he produced others. The inventory with his wife's will refers to 'Ten Great peeces' by the artist, and the diarist George Vertue also mentions several works which are now lost. Bacon painted mainly for his own family, and many of his surviving works are self-portraits. The most significant of these, painted c.1618-20 (Coll. Earl of Verulam, Gorhambury, Herts) shows the artist in his study with various accessories relating to his accomplishments and interests, including an atlas open at Northern Europe, books, a palette and a drawing. Although not highly influential as an artist, he carried out important experiments with varnishes and pigments. His 'Pinke' (a yellowish pigment) was so highly considered by the miniature painter Peter Oliver that the latter 'used none other to his dyeing day' (Edward Norgate, Miniatura, ed. M. Hardie, Oxford 1919, p.14).
Bacon was created a Knight of the Bath early in 1626, on the coronation of Charles I. He died at an early age, probably from tuberculosis, and was buried at Culford. The inscription on his monument describes him as 'well skilled in the history of plants, and in delineating them with his pencil'.

Mercyhurst art professors display new works
It's September, and school's back in session, which means teachers are back at work.
But it seems the faculty members of Mercyhurst University's art department never stopped. Based on the breadth and quality of work in the school's Cummings Gallery, it appears they spent their summer vacations with noses to the grindstone.
The Art Faculty Exhibition is the season opener at the gallery, and there's no better way to kick off the year than by flaunting the excellence and experience of the men and women teaching our young artists. Eight faculty members are participating, along with one distinguished guest alum.
As for the teachers, the names are familiar and the work is always anticipated. Daniel Burke is using repurposed items like leather belts and cardboard cartons in creating his avian-themed wall tableaux. Jamie Borowicz presents organic elements as sacred relics in his painted and multimedia altarpieces.
Mary Elizabeth Meier and Patricia Tomczak-Czulewicz use watercolors -- and, in the case of Meier, monotype prints -- to create oases of soothing-colored tranquillity. Robert Tavani's paintings, on the other hand, are frenetic, energetic explosions of exuberant life. A similar exuberance is found in Gary Cardot's lively series of photos taken at gay pride parades in Pittsburgh and New York.
Jodi Staniunas-Hopper is exhibiting more of her lacy, feather-and jewel-embellished masks and caps, along with photos showing the pieces being dramatically modeled. Tom Hubert's ceramics are recognizable as his, but variations -- including the addition of wooden elements, interesting new shapes, and striking adornments.
The guest artist, former Erieite and Mercyhurst alum Annoel Krider, is widely known for her fiber art. Her weavings are gorgeous wool tapestries featuring color blocking and gradated effects. It's obvious she was well taught during her years at Mercyhurst, and based on the works of her fellow exhibitors, current students are receiving that same skillful, challenging and nurturing support.

Best pizza downtown. Nothing fancy, just high quality pie for a good price. Also, best garlic cheese bread on planet earth.
I LOVE this place, but got some sad news! Last night when I went to order Borriello Brothers online, I found that they have closed the Fillmore/Centennial Store (I live near Fillmore & Chestnut). I feel really bad for those who pretty much anyone in the 80919 zip because now they will have no access to some of the best pizza ever! I used to work for the F/C location, and 80919 was one of the largest delivery areas. Since I am S of GoG and W of I-25, my pizza now comes from the 8th St store, which is fine, but F/C was just so much more convenient! I love my BB pizza, and I can only hope they are just moving the F/C store to another location, instead of losing a huge delivery area! Some of my best tippers were the folk in 80919!
It is a beautiful restaurant in the midst of fun-loving Manitou, CO. The food is delicious and quit eclectic at very reasonable prices, especially given the location. The staff was on the ball and very friendly. Definitely a place I will be recommending to my friends.
I've eaten here several times. Pizzas, BBQ pork sandwich, street tacos, fried pickles, fresh potato chips, and local craft beers were all delicious. Service was friendly. Thank you for re-opening such a beautiful location by the creek. I look forward to being part of your growth.
I came here for the first time and expected the worst after reading all the reviews. To my surprise I got excellent service. The cashier was very polite, explained the menu, recommended side dishes to go with our pizza because I had a large order for our company. While I was waiting I noticed how helpful he was, he took orders for customers to their car and when he was helping the cooks he always washed his hands first (that was super important to me). I was very satisfied and will always come back.
Great food great Price's... Make sure to get the butter Parmesan crust on your pie...Thank you Louie's for always having great food and entertainment...
I just moved here from the Midwest and I have to say maybe it does not rate with the high end pizza places like Giordanos or Lou Malnatis but for the value, the stuffed pizza is very, very good. I could not stop eating this so I ate even when I was full! Another sign of this pizza being excellent? when I had it for leftovers the next few days and warmed in my oven (do not use microwave!!) it even tasted better! I am so glad I found this place! Now I need to test the Roast beefs (i love the hot giardenaires they offer).
Art the pizza snob from Chgoland.
Relax...it is not meant to a five star eatery...it is a bring your own beer pizza place, with the best pizza in El Paso County.
I think it is fun and funky...but if you drop the attitude, so do the people there, who I have always found friendly, talkative, and helpful.
good pizza and i love the $11 18" special
Everything about this place from ice cold beer to great sausage is world class.
Get there early...even the huge parking lot fills up let alone the 14 tables....but absolutely delicious....a simply read menu, that has within it everything you can imagine. The staff is friendly and hard at work...the pizza is the best.
From Brooklyn, have been searching for great NY Style pizza and this is it! The crust, the sauce, the high quality of the toppings...all of it is great. I can't wait to go back!
Always the best best. great food great prices cheese bread is to die for.
Great NY style pizza from the crust to the toppings, all are a step above the other NY Pizza joints such as Leon Gessi or B. brothers. When they get busy, orders can take longer than normal but it's well worth the wait. If something is not right with your order, Joey is quick to make it right. It is my favorite pizza shop. The calzones, wings, subs and garlic knots are excellent as well. I definitely recommend them.
The real deal neighborhood Italian place to eat...simply, delicious, at the right price!
Always good food at a good price every time we go there. It's small, get there right at 5PM when they open to get a seat. Their house wine is sold by the full Liter, in a carafe, not the overpriced 750ML bottles found in other eateries.
Ha Ha that sucks. I order custom slices every week and they are freakin awesome!
We've been eating pizza at Borriello Brothers for years. The service has always been outstanding, the pizza is always fresh and hot just the way we like it and the store is always clean. There are plenty of condiments, the paper supplies are full and the staff is very friendly and helpful. We've brought our out of state family to eat here and they were just as impressed with the place as we have been. We have nothing but rave reviews about Borriello Brothers. And no, we're not employed by them either.
I first went to Pizza Madness over 5 years ago and I've been coming back ever since. Whenever I'm down in Canon or Florence, I make sure to hit up Pizza Madness. For me, I love all the crazy art/statues/friezes on the walls, it's "Madness", yes, but comforting in a really Mom and Pop sort of way. Their pizza is definitely good pizza, but you cannot pass up their bread sticks with their house ranch. Whenever my parents come out to Colorado to visit we always have to hit up Pizza Madness. A few years back I took my out-of-state girl friend and she absolutely loved the place! It also helped that Marty was around to lighten the mood and put on one of the honest to god best close-up magic shows around. Even when he isn't around, the place is still pretty energetic and fun. Their selection of brews always seems to please those of age around too.

In-Laws (2002–2003)
Episode List
Season 1
24 Sep. 2002Pilot
Newly wed Matt Landis and his wife Alex visit her parents and explain Matt needs $30,000 for his life-long dream, a reputed cooking course and starting a restaurant. Her rich, haughtily domineering pa, Victor Pellet, offers them the loan, provided they save rent by moving in. Alex's ma Marlena is starting a career in real estate and neglecting housekeeping, for which Victor also blames Matt. Thus starts Matt's ordeal of constant criticism and manipulation.
24 Sep. 2002Fleetwood Matt
Matt and Victor are happy to keep physically apart, but the girls force them together. Victor must let Matt drive him to and from the optician, in his beloved Fleetwood car. Despite his excessive instructions that goes well, but while parking it Matt smashes the garage. Victor is furious, but Matt discovers the car was already smashed and repaired behind his back.
1 Oct. 2002The Mattress Kings
Matt complains about Victor's worn-out guest bed. When Matt and Alex want to buy a new bed, Victor persuades him to get one from his friend Chester, the Mattress King. Victor gets a deal on a luxury model that Matt can't afford. Now they rival as to who can choose and pay for the bed, leading to sneaky exchanges.
1 Oct. 2002Love Is the Key
After a year, Matt still has to climb in through the window because Victor never gave him a key to the house. What's even worse is that the catered private wedding anniversary dinner he was planning with Alex, is on the very Saturday of a box finale that Victor invited his garage friend Reno to. When Matt tells him about it, Victor assumes he and Marlene are also invited to the dinner. Worst still, he does what he did at the wedding: overrule every choice the couple made.
8 Oct. 2002Monopoly Report
Matt's latest ordeal are 'Pellet day' traditions. He's blamed for ruining apple picking by washing the car 'guaranteed to cause rain', in this case a storm. Next the rainy plan B: Monopoly, with crazy pellet rules such as 'all blue for ma'. Alex ends up insisting they turn to regular rules, next they play his games, Celebrity guessing. The Pellet insider hints and team-unconditional hints for relatives make it even worse for Matt, who gets a crushing nocturnal surprise on top.
15 Oct. 2002Crown Vic
In their regular restaurant, the Pellets bump into Charles 'Sand' Sandowski, the one man standing in Victor's way to become the town's 'king of kings', star of the annual parade. His son Chip is a college friend of Alex, and befriends Matt. Victor is tickled pink when Matt learns Chip is to take over Charles's business. Alas, Matt's brave dream-pursuit inspires Chip. And the curse strikes again.
22 Oct. 2002Love Thy Neighbor
After neighbor Henderson's death at 97, Marlena is to sell his house, her first sale ever. The in-built giant bird-cage scares potential buyers off. Victor orders Matt to write a eulogy for himself. Victor expects an old, pet-free client, so he chases Ricky away, the only bird-owner who might buy it. Matt tries to mend the mess and save the deal.
29 Oct. 2002Halloween: Resurrection
Surprised that the Pellets have no decoration at all just before Halloween, Matt hangs a witch on their door. Before his in-laws can undo that naive error, it rekindles an old rivalry among the street's five families for the most ornate house, rewarded with a local newspaper mention and picture. Even mat's well-meant words at a 'peace conference' hosted by Victor fails to avert another 'war'. Matt surprises the family by opting out, Marlene Alex by pointing out she should side with her husband, and he again.
12 Nov. 2002Games People Play
When Victor's softball partner can't play, Matt volunteers, despite hints from the girls that's unwise. Sour loser Victor is even sorer then the winner, but both solider on for days. Finally Alex convinces Matt to let Victor win, but she's overheard discussing that with Marlena, staring a whole series of reproaches and confessions.
19 Nov. 2002Lucky Charms
Matt lets Alex persuade him to postpone their plans to accept an invitation from Victor to join him at the horse races, normally family-only. The men soon are on grim terms again, but Matt's winnings make up for the usual abuse. Next weekend, he's invited again, only to find Victor is after an imaginary luck-bringing routine.
3 Dec. 2002If You Can't Stand the Heat
Victor is delighted that Matt is out nearly constantly for his intensive gastronomy course. Alex however gets insanely jealous when she discovers his partner 'Dani' is in fact foxy Latino Daniela. Together with Marlena, she pulls a scene while even Victor admits Matt couldn't be so dumb as to be caught pants-down in the pellet home. Dani however walked out, so Matt is greatly relieved when she accepts to remain course partners, but only if the homework venue shifts to her apartment. A misunderstood phone message now sends Victor on a jealous check-up trip there, soon ...
3 Dec. 2002Married Christmas
The Pellets' Christmas joy is soon spoiled when Marlene's grumpy Polish father Howard alias 'papo' arrives. Mat initially enjoys seeing Victor suffering his usual fate of defenseless verbal abuse, then sympathetically tries to mediate. Unlike the evasive girls, who just fail to do so, he gets them to discuss their deepest grudges. It turns out Marlene owes them a major rectification.
7 Jan. 2003Matt Goes Into Labor
When Victor needs a temp urgently to man the phone at his security firm's reception, Matt volunteers. Although not amused he must hide his identity to avoid nepotism suspicions, 'Vince' soon proves himself a model worker and popular colleague, to Victor's surprise. Matt's self-confidence is dented however by meeting the perfect man for Akex in Victor's eyes, as he can't think of any flaw himself.
14 Jan. 2003Two Rooms
The Pellet and Landis couples each book a double room in the same hotel for a trip to Dixieland. An argument over the girls being spoiled rotten gets so bad that the men end up bunking uncomfortably in one room, bickering but becoming closers, their wives in the others. Marlena refuses to have her holiday spoiled and drags Alex to a nocturnal Confederate victory reenactment participants party, enjoying Dixie flirtation and booze, until drunkenness renders her melancholic.
2003Mother's Nature
Matt's Jewish mother Rochelle Landis visits. As if a revolutionary tree-hugger weren't bad enough in Victor's book, the seasoned activist opposes his pet project, a faster car service chain, on environmental grounds, all the way into the municipal council. Yet when Matt bitterly turns away because she repeats a bright guy like him should do law rather then 'just' cooking, Victor pleads filial piety.

Neela Telefilms' numero uno show on SAB TV, namely, the laugh riot Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah vows by the congenial shooting ambience it provides to its actors.
Furthermore, this is one serial where the cast is like "one big happy family" and has seen no replacements till date.
But soon things may prove to be otherwise.
Read on to find out…what we are getting at…
A source from the sets went on to share, "Gurucharan Singh aka Sodhi, has not been around for a long time. He has stopped shooting from 14 February (2013). It is believed some differences occurred between the maker and Gurucharan."
The same source further added that Producer Asit Modi had told Gurucharan that he should wait and soon things will fall into place. But the scenario looks quite bleak right now.
"I don't think the actor is getting back as the casting guys have started looking for a replacement, which will be first of its kind development in Taarak ever", the source divulged.
Armed with this bit of information, we decided to have a word with Gurucharan and he said, "I can't comment anything at this point of time."
Gurucharan will also be seen in Life OK's Welcome…
Next we got in touch with Producer Asit Modi but after a patient hearing, he chose to remain tight-lipped.
So is this it? Does it mark an end to the well-knit family bonding affair in Taarak? We will keep a sharp eye on the development…

Know When to Hold 'Em
Ask my 15-year-old if she knows any spoiled kids, and she'll rattle off a slew of examples (with a hint of envy): one friend whose parents gave her a $2,000 shopping spree, another who got a new car at 16 ... you get the picture. But if you're the parent of a newborn, don't sweat it, at least not yeRead Full Article
Breast-Feeding: Nature's Formula for Success
It used to be a common refrain: Breast-feeding is great to try, but if you decide against it, don't sweat it. Nobody's saying that anymore.

Growing Pains: What Baby Growth Charts Really Mean
Parents are a competitive bunch. So when the pediatrician whips out a growth chart and ranks baby's height and weight in percentiles, it's easy to wonder if something's wrong. Tenth percentile? Something must be stunting his growth. The 95th percentile? Omigod, she's huge, so much bigger than the neRead Full Article
How to Outfox Your Baby
