Assasin's Creed Brotherhood will play almost identical to Assasin's Creed 2. It does offer however offer AI controlled assasins to help you out. There is also the addition of multiplayer. There are 3 types of achievements, story related (with misc. based), multiplayer, and collectible. There is no difficulty settings to worry about, and you will only have to beat the game once. There are 2 missable achievements, but you have 3 save files and those can be obtained early on in the game. So if you miss one, just use another save file. The multiplayer achievements can all be boosted, and the collectibles are for the most part easy to get. You will get the oppurtunity to buy an in-game map that will locate the majority of them. The ones that won't appear on the map, will be explained in the guide. You will also at any time be able to replay memories and after you complete the game, you will be able to free roam and be able to tackle any unfinished business you have left.
Step 1: Campaign/Miscellaneous
All campaign achievements can be obtained in one play through. Playing through the game without doing anything other than the story, will earn you a total 13 achievements, and 280. There will be a point in the story where you recruit 2 Assassins. After recruiting the first two, complete the mission, hire one more assassin, and you'll unlock the Brotherhood achievement. Level up any recruit to the rank of Assassin, and you'll unlock the Welcome to the Brotherhood achievement. If you manage to complete a sequence to 100%, you'll earn the Perfect Recall achievement (sequence 3 is the easiest). Replay a memory and you'll earn the Déjà Vu achievement. The Mailer Daemon and Dust to Dust achievements are not able to be completed once you beat the game, so be sure to exit the Animus to check your email and find at least one artifact to unlock the achievements.
There are a total of 6 shrines to be found in Rome, with achievements associated with each. They are highlighted on your map and are set up as kind of an acrobatic maze. These are tied to the Flag collectibles, so be sure to check the guide descriptions for those specific locations. Destroying all 4 of Leonardo's war machines will earn you an achievement for each. Complete 10 Guild challenges, and you will unlock the Show Off achievement. Parachute off the top of the flagpole atop the Castel Sant'Angelo in the Vaticano district, and you'll earn the Fly Like An Eagle achievement. Kill an enemy with a broomstick and you'll earn the Spring Cleaning achievement. Upgrading 5 buildings in the Antico District (Southermost) will earn you the Home Improvement achievement. Earning 3 Gold medals in the Virtual Training Program will earn you the Perfectionist achievement. Toss some money into the nearest well and you'll earn the Your Wish is Granted achievement, and win the highest amount of money at the last fight beneath the Barracks will earn you The Gloves Come Off achievement.
Step 2: Collectibles
There are a few different types of collectibles to be found. There are a total of 101 Borgia flags, 10 feathers, 12 Borgia Towers and 10 of Subject 16's puzzles. Collect all flags and you'll earn Capture the Flag, collect all feathers and you'll earn In Memoriam, burn all towers and you'll earn Tower Offense, and complete all puzzles to get .. .- -- .- .-.. .. ...- .. See the descriptions for the Shrines to collect the flags within. The feathers and outside flags may be found by using in game maps you can buy at the Art Dealer shops. They become stocked in those stores when you either complete the game, or collect 25 flags on your own. To find and complete the 10 puzzles, see the guide below.
Most of the multiplayer achievements can be boosted easily in Private matches. However, the Download Complete achievement requires Ranked or Player matches to earn experience. Be sure you check out the Achievement Trading Thread for boosting partners.
Be sure to check out these two threads, one to help you find people to boost with and the other to keep track of the Abstergo Employee of the Month achievement.
You should have all single player achievements by the end of the game. When you're done, just grab the last of the collectibles and anything else you may have passed on for later. Multiplayer will take some time to boost, but if done effeiciently you will have this game completed without too much effort. The only part that could be troublesome is finding good people to boost with that will be commited.

Shrines are automatically shown on the map during Sequence 2, after completing a story related event.

Once you complete any given shrine, they will vanish from the map but can be replayed in the DNA menu. Also be on the lookout for 3 flags per shrine, since 18 of 101 flags are actually in the shrines and the map will not show them unless you see them in Eagle Vision first (but you'd be grabbing them in that instance). Below are the locations of the flags within each shrine.
Note: All shrines can be replayed by selecting them in the DNA Menu and going to Secret Locations. Terme di Traiano is the one exception. You can find this shrine by selecting it in Sequence 2.
Terme di Traiano
This shrine is associated with the "Golden Boy" achievement.
Flag 1: When you dive into the water and go through the only open gate, take a left.
Flag 2: You'll reach a gate/archway where you must use the broken piece of debris to climb over it. Instead of climbing over it, look left to see the flag. Jump back to the first piece of debris and jump to the wall to start making your way to the flag.
Flag 3: In the area with the balconies and pillars, it's on one of the pillars.
Basilica di San Pietro
This shrine is associated with the "Amen" achievement.
Flag 1: When you get to the top area where there are two doors leading outside to the rain, take the open area on your right. You'll see the flag which you must run up the wall and jump to the right.
Flag 2: As you chase you'll eventually start using lanterns to swing to different
platforms. Keep an eye to your left when you see two NPCs working on the building.
Flag 3: After defeating the Cardinal, go through the curtains, but don't leap. Instead, drop down to grab the last flag here.
Palazzo Laterano Shrine
This shrine is associated with the "One-Man Wrecking Crew" achievement.
Flag 1: Once you get to the second level area running along the beams, take a left when you have the option to go left or right.
Flag 2: You'll be in a room with a broken staircase and a statue. Climb the statue or wall climb and jump to get to the next flag.
Flag 3: For the last flag you'll drop down to the middle of some stairs. Look to your right to see where the flag is. Run up the wall and jump left to get across the gap to grab the flag.
Catacombe di Roma
This shrine is associated with the "Undertaker 2.0" achievement.
Flag 1: When you get to your first checkpoint (after climbing a ladder) look to the right in the big area to see the flag.
Flag 2: After you go down the big hole, you'll see a wall with a torch and some rings. Above is a gate with the flag behind it. Keep going, taking a right when given the option, then another right which eventually leads to the flag.
Flag 3: When you get to the chapel area (you'll see one of the wolf men), climb up and when you get to the poles, climb backwards to go higher to get a flag instead of going to the normal route.
Shrine in Il Colosseo
This shrine is associated with the "Gladiator" achievement.
Flag 1: The first flag is behind a prison gate in the first in the shrine. Go about your normal way up and just remember to jump over and drop down to get the flag before you leave the area.
Flag 2: You'll enter an area (after a chase) with a bunch of people. In this area when you get higher, you'll notice a red structure with red drapes. The flag is inside.
Flag 3: The last flag is very shortly after. You'll notice it moments after starting the horse chase. Either jump off and grab it quickly or dismount-jump (tap ) and mount on the new horse on the left.
Cloaca Maxima
This shrine is associated with the "Plumber" achievement.
Flag 1: After doing a small chase scene you'll end up facing 7 wolf men at once, then 4 more. In this area is the flag high up to the left of the direction the game wants you to go.
Flag 2: Continue on your normal path in the room with all the laundry. You'll get to the second floor area where more enemies will attack. The hallway they come from has the flag.
Flag 3: After fighting the leader jump into the water to the right of where you fought him, and dive under the gate to get the flag.

Walk up to a un-renovated building, press and select the option of "Renovate." The building will then be open for business and will increase your total revenue. Buy five and the achievement will unlock. Renovating any building in the Antico district will count toward the achievement.
The Antico district is the Southern-most district.
Tower Offense 20
Burn All Borgia Towers.
There are a total of 12 Borgia towers to burn down in Rome. To access these buildings, you must first kill the Borgia captain. If you happen to get caught while trying to kill the Borgia captain, he will flee. If you are unable to kill him before he flees, he will be gone until the next shift. Kill him when he appears again. You can use your Assassins to kill him rather easily. Upon killing the Borgia captain, the tower can be climbed and set ablaze.
You cannot access all 12 Borgia towers right at the start of the game. There are several locations in Rome that you cannot access. Upon completing Sequence 6, you will be able to locate the final Borgia Tower.
Show Off 20
Complete 10 Guild Challenges.
In each Guild, (Assassins, Thieves, Courtesans and Mercenaries) are several challenges that you can complete.

If you need help on some puzzles, be sure to check out the Subject 16 Puzzle Guide.

Perfectionist 20
Earn 3 gold medals from the Animus Virtual Training Program.
You will get a small tutorial of the Virtual Training Program when you first access it. The game will explain what it is, and after that point you can do it whenever you want by hitting . To earn this achievement, you must earn a gold medal on at least 3 different challenges (but they can all be in the same category). These categories are as follows:
Brotherhood 20
Recruit 3 Assassins.
You will recruit 2 assassins as a part of the main story. Find one more, and the achievement will unlock. The assassins will show up on your mini map as a new icon which the game will introduce you to. Go there and kill the surrounding guards attacking the person (they look like a civilian). Once you have saved them they will join you. If you wait to long, they may be killed and you will have to move on to another (there are many on the map).
Welcome to the Brotherhood 20
Train a recruit up to the Rank of Assassin.
A recruit can be leveled up by sending them out on contracts. Do this by visiting a Pigeon Coop or an Assassin Tower. Check the icons (hitting ) on your map if you need to know what they look like. Once you have hit the top rank (rank 10) you must visit Ezio's hideout to hold the introductory ceremony. The achievement will unlock after the ceremony ends.
A contract is a mission you send your recruits out on to gain experience to level up, which gives them extra equipment as well as increases their stats. They range in difficulty and the game will show how high of a chance your assassin has to completing it successfully. It also has a timer on how long it will take. The best approach is to rank up with an extreme high percentage (involving multiple assassins if need be) and picking the lowest amount of time possible. The higher the rank and experience needed, the more dangerous jobs you will be sending them out on to benefit from higher rewards. For every assassin added to the contract, it will divide the experience equally. This is a way to power boost later on to rank up everyone quicker.
If an Assassin is killed while in battle, or killed while on a contract, the Assassin dies forever. He/she will be erased from your roster and you will have to replace them. In order to ensure your assassins are all safe and sound, never send them on suicide missions (ones that are low percentage of success). To raise the success level, have a few assassins go on one mission. With a larger roster of assassins, you'll be able to have a few groups out at once. You should be able to level a good amount of them up to the highest rank by the end of the story if you utilize it correctly.
Assassin Levels:
1: Recluta (0XP)
2: Servitore(10XP)
3: Assistente (30XP)
4: Milte (80XP)
5: Discepolo (180XP)
6: Mercenario (350XP)
7: Guerriero (600XP)
8: Veterano (1200XP)
9: Maestro (2000XP)
10: Assassino (3500XP)
Capture the Flag 30
Remove All Borgia Flags in Rome.
There are a total of 101 Borgia Flags in Rome. You can find them throughout Rome's districts, as well as the hidden shrines throughout Rome (3 per shrine). You can track your progress of how many flags you've collected from the Main Menu. Go to Main Menu > DNA > Additional Memories > Flags. It is separated into districts, so you can track the flags easily. Although, you should never have to use this feature as there are maps you may purchase at an Art Dealer shop.
Obtaining these maps will make 83 of these flags extremely easy to find. There are 2 ways to get the maps to show up in the Art Dealers' shops. Option 1 is to find 25 flags. Option 2 is to complete the game. Do not go out of your way to follow guides to get the flags, as you will be getting maps for them anyways. The only ones you may need help on are the flags in the shrines. See the "Amen" achievement description for those specific 18 flags.

In Memoriam 20
Collect All Feathers.
There are a total of 10 feathers that can be collected throughout Rome. After collecting a total of 25 flags or completing the game, you can buy the Feather Map. This map shows you the location of all feathers in Rome. Use this to help you find the feathers with extreme ease. You may buy the map from any Art Dealer. The Feather Map costs 17,425 florins.
Dust to Dust 20
Find 1 Artifact in the Present.
*This achievement is missable*
After completing the final Memory sequence, you cannot access the present. Be sure that you exit the Animus at least once to find an artifact.
There are a total of 5 artifacts to be found in present-day Monteriggioni, but you only have to gain one for the achievement. Collecting the rest will offer no extra benefits. Pick any of the 5, or just follow the one chosen for the video.
Serial Killer 20
Perform a Speed Kill Streak of 10.
You can do this in a few places where there are a lot of enemies. The best place to do it is in the Animus Training Program, where you can do it at your leisure. The best place is the Long Kill Streak challenge (last one on the list). Hold to start blocking when you have your weapon out. When a guard attacks you, press (while still holding ) right when the attack is about to hit you. This will cause you to counter and execute. Right as your execution is finishing up, press again highlighting any enemy nearby with the . Keep killing guards like this, keeping an eye out for an attack to counter sometimes by another guard. Explaining it makes it seem like a long process, but really it's all very quick. Watch the video if you'd like a better example on how it should look.
Spring Cleaning 10
Kill a guard with a broom.
At first you may not see any brooms until you advance through the story line. Just keep an open eye out while playing the game naturally until you see someone sweeping. They will be more frequent in the Centro District. To get the broom you can run into the person, grab and throw them, or even kill them to make them drop it. Pick the broom up and go to any guard and press to assassinate the guard.
Note: If you have the broom in your hand, you may still use the hidden gun. Using the gun (holding to initiate, letting go to fire) will not make you drop the broom. You may still obtain the achievement this way, even though you're technically getting the kill with the gun.

Your Wish is Granted 10
Throw money in a well.
The first requirement is to have money. The currency in this game is Florins. You will no doubt be getting a lot of these in the game, but if you want to get it right away just steal money from the various people walking around by pressing near them.
Wells can be found throughout Rome. There is one just about in the middle of the map, on the far East side of Centro District. It's right in front of the gray building on the map, by the bank and the blacksmith. Wells will have a rope and bucket, with an outer octagon shape. There is wood around it as well, so if you find a hole and it doesn't look like this, it's not a well. To throw the money, hold and select the money bag icon. Now face the well and press and the achievement will unlock.
Fly Like an Eagle 10
Jump with the parachute off the top of Castel Sant' Angelo.
The parachute unlocks after all of Leonardos's war machines have been destroyed. Meet up with him at the usual meeting place (the L icon), and you'll have access to them. Once you have the parachute, climb to the top of Castel Sant' Angelo (the top of the flagpole with a red flag) and jump off. This location is at the top of the map indicated by a circular shape. It is within a restricted area. The easiest way to get there is to wait until playing Sequence 8 Memory 2: "An Apple a Day". This mission is after a lengthy cutscene where a female is moaning and crying in a window. Look up and you'll see the flagpole you must climb. Get to the top of it and jump by pressing then press to open the parachute moments after jumping. If you die during this mission, you will spawn at the checkpoint near the window.
You may purchase parachutes by going to a tailor. To check if you have parachutes, press and select Inventory > Supplies > Parachutes. They cost 170 florins each.
Note: Sometimes the achievement won't trigger if you activate the parachute instantly after jumping. You should wait a moment before using it.
The Gloves Come Off 10
Win the highest bet at the Fights.
Fights can be participated in by going inside and beneath the Barracks. The Barracks will unlock after completing Sequence 3 and is in the Campagna District (icon is a white sword with a black background). Be sure to have plenty of florins in case you lose the bets. There are a total of five fights to partake in. After finishing the first four, set your bet to the highest amount (500 florins) and win. You must defeat a total of 5 mercenaries within 40 seconds.
There isn't a real strategy here, besides spamming the button. Continue knocking mercenaries out, and you'll earn 1150 florins. You can only use your fists, but you will still be able to do counter attacks which will save you lots of time.
Mailer Daemon 20
Access your email in 2012
*Obtain this achievement as early as possible to avoid missing it*
At a certain point in the game, you'll be told that you have new emails waiting for you. Exit the Animus, and head towards Altair's statue. Press any button to access your computer and the achievement will unlock.
Be sure that you check your email before the final memory sequence. After completing the final memory sequence, you cannot exit the Animus (not even replaying DNA). If, for some reason, you do miss this achievement, don't be too stressed out. The email can be checked as early as sequence 2, so just start a new game on another save file if that happens.

Synchronization Established 10
Complete an entire Session with at least one kill (Multiplayer Only).
A session in multiplayer is any full game played. You must kill another player to gain this achievement. To kill someone, follow the indicator to your target and assassinate them (hitting ). You will most likely be targeted as well by someone else. Pressing to stun them does not count as a kill. You will be getting many kills while going for other achievements.
Note: This achievement can be earned in private matches.
Needle in a Haystack 5
Kill your target while hidden in a hay bale (Multiplayer Only).
Hay bale's are scattered within the various levels in multiplayer. Just move towards one to jump in, and don't move at all to stay. When an unsuspecting opponent is walking by, hit when indicated and you should get the achievement.
Note: This achievement can be boosted in private matches.
Strong Closer 20
Take the lead 10 seconds before the end of the session and go on to win (Multiplayer Only).
You cannot be in first place when there is 10 seconds remaining on the timer. It has to be the last 10 seconds of the game and not just the end of a round. When not in 1st place, take the lead in the last 10 seconds. This is hard to do legit, but with a high enough kill combo you may be able to get it with luck. Instead do it in a private match with a friend. Stay on the rooftops to avoid getting sucked into crowds thus earning blend points. You can do this with just 2 players in a Manhunt game. When in a Private Game, have the person who is going for the achievement to be on Team 1. Team 1 will always attack first. The positions will switch after the first round. After the positions have switched, the person can take the lead and unlock the achievement.
Note: This achievement can be earned in private matches.
Fast Learner 25
Kill your target and escape your pursuer in less than 10 seconds (Multiplayer Only).
To get this, you must be playing a match where you have a target, as well being a target at the same time. You must kill your opponent and escape your pursuer within 10 seconds of the kill. Stunning your pursuer will give you an auto escape. The best way to lose someone is to run through the open gates that shut. You may get it playing normal, but this achievement can be boosted with a few friends in Alliance mode. Have your pursuer run around in circles while you have above your targets head. Make the kill and stun the pursuer (or run).
Note: This achievement can be earned in private matches.
Job skills 20
During Open Conflict, kill your target and escape (Multiplayer Only).
For this achievement you must have a minimum of 3 or more players (must have 1 as a target and 1 as a pursuer). Open Conflict is when a Target is aware of it's Pursuer. For this to work, your Target must be aware of you, and you must be aware of your Pursuer. Chase your target and kill them, then either run, hide, stun your pursuer, or have your pursuer kill a civilian. If boosting, just have all participants running around each other and then the one getting the achievement kill it's target, and stun it's opponent.
Note: This achievement can be earned in private matches.

Reach Level 50 (Multiplayer Only).
This one achievement is going to take a good amount of time, especially if you go for it legit. You may rank up in both Ranked and Player matches. The best boosting method is in the gametype Alliance. Alliance is not available right at the start, and requires a minimum level of 5 to play. Alliance requires a minimum of 6 players to start the game. The method is described below;
There will be 3 teams of 2 people each. While boosting, always stay on the same team. The matches will last 2 rounds, and whichever team is boosting must boost for that entire round. They will be killing their targets and stunning their pursuers. Everyone must meet in a central area of the map, or a place that's easy to get to (usually somewhere like a big water fountain for example, or in front of big pillars). The team getting the points will be stunning the pursuers. It's best to switch targets each time you stun because the game will give a delay on the stunning if you keep stunning the same person. The targets must keep running into that area and let themselves be killed. You should take mental note and kill every other target that runs your way. Be fair and give your partner their fair share of kills. Below is an example of the roles.
Note: There are 2 rounds. The teams will be switching roles, so if someone was being stunned one round, the next they will be dying, etc.
Team 1: In this example Team 1 is the boosting team. They will never die, and will always do killing and stunning. The perks don't really matter for this team, but they will want to make sure they have a kill streak award set to give bonus points.
Team 2: This team is the targets. They will continue to run to the meeting place to get killed. A good idea is to have perks that allow faster running and climbing (certain perks are obtained at certain levels). This team will change to the pursuers in round 2.
Team 3: This team is the pursuers. They will be having a bit of a break during their round. All they have to do is get stunned, and sometimes maybe move a little bit if they wind up being far away from each other. This team will change to the targets in round 2. If anyone has the Resistance Perk (unlocked at level 27) it should be applied. This will let you get up faster after being stunned, and will really speed up the boosting.
Using this boosting method and depending on how organized your boosting party is, you can get on average around 30k to 40k or even higher per match. Each match takes 8 minutes (4 minute rounds). So you will get that experience once every half hour. Remember to always be fair during your boosting sessions and before it ends, make sure the last team has gone. Also, if you're going to leave the boosting sessions, alert the party you will be leaving so they can look for a replacement.
To find a boosting party, please use the Achievement Trading Thread.
Role Model 20
Get all the Co-op bonuses in 1 session (Multiplayer Only).
This is a very easy achievement but you will need at least 4 people to boost it. This is best done in an Manhunt private match. You will need to do the 3 stun related bonuses in one round, and the 3 kill related bonuses in the next round.
Co-Op Stun: Target the pursuer with and have your team mate stun them.
Knock Out: Both you and your partner stun both of the pursuers at once (or within 10 seconds of each other).
Rescue: Have a pursuer get in a chase with your team mate (the pursuer runs around with the near your partner). Now stun that specific pursuer.
Co-Op Kill: Press on your target to lock on. Have your partner kill your target.
Multi Kill: Both you and your partner kill your targets at the same time (or within 10 seconds of each other).
Diversion: Have your partner get into a chase with a target (using to run around). Now kill that target without yourself being in the chase.
To find a boosting party, please use the Achievement Trading Thread.
Overachiever 20
Score 750 points or more on a single kill (Multiplayer Only).
You must get a string of bonuses that equal 750 points or higher. You can do it in any way you want, as long as your bonus for that kill gives you the score. Look through the bonus menu and you can see which ones give what amount of points. You'll likely get this while boosting and it can all be done in a private match. Pick whatever combo of points will get you the achievement and do those. A good example is to kill someone while hidden (hay stack or blended) while in focus mode (when the has a full white circle around it).
Kill: 100 Points
Incognito: 300 Points
Hidden: 200 points
Focus: 150 Points
Total = 750 Points
You can boost this in private matches or you'll probably just get this randomly while playing in multiplayer. All types of bonuses count, even variety and kill streak bonuses that occur.
YouTube - AC: Brotherhood Over Achiever Achievement" target="_blank">YouTube - AC: Brotherhood Over Achiever Achievement
Note: This achievement can be earned in private matches.
Ahead of the Curve 20
Perform a double or a triple escape (Multiplayer Only).
To do a double or triple escape, you must have 2 or 3 people pursuing you in Chase mode. To know if they are in Chase mode, they will have red (triangle-shaped) indicators above their heads. You can only get multiple people chasing you when you are doing extra well in the match. The game will try to balance things out and have you as the target to more opponents. The amount of pursuers is displayed on the top of the HUD where there are 3 triangles. The triangles that are lit up red are how many are after you. Having 2 or 3 people after you will not guarantee you get this achievement as you must escape them all at the same time, not just have two or more pursuers and escape from 1.
This is very easy to boost in private matches. Play a team game and have 1 person in the first group, and 2 in the second group. The pursuers must free-run around the map (using ) until both are in chase mode. Now have the sole person in group 1 either stun both, escape, or even have the two pursuers kill civilians.
Note: This achievement can be earned in private matches.
Abstergo Employee of the Month 20
Get every bonus at least once (Multiplayer Only).
This is one of the more difficult achievements in the game. You must get all bonuses in multiplayer at least once. All bonuses can be obtained in private matches except for the End Bonuses. For those it must be at least in player matches, but can still be boosted. For some of them you will have to play specific game types and have a minimum amount of players. There is no way to track of what bonuses you have completed. There are many bonuses to complete, so a separate guide for this achievement has been created.
Check out the Abstergo Employee of the Month Guide for more information.
NOTE:The Abstergo Employee of the Month achievement cannot be unlocked until you are at least level 29. This is because players cannot unlock the "Poison" ability until that level. There are two bonuses that require the Poison ability. These two bonuses are; Poison and Intercepted.

There is already a well written guide up that has been out for a while. Of course you can make your own, but I dont think there is much to improve on the other guide. If there is you could just post it on there. And there is never need for 13 reserved posts....never heard of that in my life.
But I just got 1000 in the game =)
and Yunder I love your sig.
But still looking forward to when it is complete (even though I am done with the game)

Also for getting all the multiplayer achievements, only 10-15 hours? Bloody hell I would have thought ranking 50 would take much longer than that.. Then again I'm only level 5 myself so I need to play more to get an idea.
Are those hours based off boosting for the multiplayer?

Needle in a Haystack, Overachiever and Synchronisation Established can all be got in the Introductory Session with ease, an although it's kind of irrelevant for Synchronisation Established it is certainly the easiest way to get Needle in a Haystack and Overachiever right off of the bat without the need to setup a boosting session or play online.
All you do is watch the AI's route and then hide in the haystack which he moves past, wait for the focus and get 750 from Kill, Incognito, Hidden & Focus.

This is one of the few games where I won't be following guides - from what I've read feathers & flags are on the treasure maps you buy. Even if they're not, I know I'll enjoy running around looking for collectibles. TBH I just wanted to make sure I got the missable achievements.
For the Nozza/Yunder disagreement, I just have the feeling it's an argument about ego on both sides. Especially since there really isn't that much skill involved in getting any of the achievements, and I've got the impression none of you made the videos you posted (but please correct me if I'm wrong).
I guess there would have been a way for all of you to collaborate on one same guide by just communicating a bit and not trying to make it 'your' guide...
Thx to SeedyEvil for the Sig
As far as the flags go...YES you are right, they are really easy which is why instead of making a guide for those, we just told you how to buy the maps and do it yourself. Though there are 18 you must find in shrines which was described how to find all of those in the guide in one of the shrine descriptions.

And this isn't the place to argue about guides. The whole point of this community has been our continous strive (and by our I mean the users...GAMERS) to get the best guides out there to make life easier.
I did have a device "Black Magic Shuttle Pro" but I returned it. 1080P would be huge files and not be very good for youtube/streaming (it'd take forever). Also it'd take quite some time to edit for loading reasons

Ghana FA boss Nyantakyi defends Black Stars friendlies
By Ameenu Shardow
Ghana FA boss Kwasi Nyantakyi insists the organized friendly matches for the Black Stars against Egypt and Tunisia are not wasted opportunities.
Ghana will face the record African champions in their first pre-2013 Nations Cup warm up game on Thursday.
The Black Stars will then also play the Tunisia in their final friendly match ahead of the Nations Cup in South Africa three days later.
There are however some muted concerns over the choice of opponents being played considering Ghana will not be facing a North African side at the Group stage of the 2013 AFCON.
But the GFA boss maintains the two friendly games are essential to equip the team adequately to benefit the team in the likely event of facing a team from North Africa in the latter stages of this month's competition.
"You have to look at the availability of the teams and not just any other team,†he said.
"Egypt though will not be going to the Nations Cup will be in this region (the UAE) to play some games and Tunisia as well are camping here.
"We are also mindful of the fact that we could be playing a North African side, for instance Morocco who are in Group A could face us at the quarter final stage.
"There is also Algeria and Tunisia whom we could also meet at the semi finals or the finals so this is not a wasted opportunity.â€
Ghana will open its Nations Cup campaign against DR Congo on January 20 before facing Mali and Niger in the subsequent Group B games.

Words says:January 10, 2013 08:56 amI am very disappointed about the number of matches we are playing prior to the AFCON. While Zambia are playing 4 we are just playing 2. I hope AA uses his 1st 11 in both matches to play. As @ now we need team cohesion which I didn't see @ da last AFCON. I believe dis team can bring da Cup we ve been waiting for years.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Yes you could say that, I'm going to S.A. for a rest. It's going to be an experience on my milage.
I'm finding the process interesting at the moment I'm recovering much faster from the 600k than the 400 and my best guess is it's because I'm further away from the marathon. What has been curious is that towards the end of both the 4 and 6 from about 50-100k from the end I seem to get stronger and I'm not sure what's going on.
Comrades done. 2 down
And did you manage to find a 10k swim yet?
Still think you're nuts, but sounds like you're also on target!
How did it go? I felt dead on my feet from the start but 5 mins in a portaloo at 10k eased my burden and I felt a bit better.
I've run two ups previously but the hills just seemed a lot longer this time, probably because I was walking them. The backs of my legs were tight from early on possibly due to the gradient and by half way I was asking for the back of my left knee and calf to be sprayed. I was pretty sore on the down hills and with 20 miles to go I was prepared to walk the rest of the way but there wasn't time.
I managed to get on an 11.30 bus and things improved and I could even run down the hills but part way up Polly Shortts I lost contact and was struggling again. I joined the 12 hour bus driven by the famous Vlam. Going over the top of Polly Shortts the PA said we would make it but would have to pick up the pace.
7k to go and I was hanging on for dear life I wanted to walk but there was no time. The bus driver was having a bad day, was being held up by the guy next to him and looked as white as a sheet. With 3k to go I decided I had to run the rest of the way and went. I made it with 5mins to spare. The bus came in 3mins later.
At the finish I was in bits, when I sat down I couldn't get up and the veins were standing up on the back of my left leg. Next day my calf was going red but by Tuesday that seemed to have passed. Arrived uk Wednesday with a swollen lower left leg. Blood test was positive so I'm being scanned for a clot next week, currently on clot busting drugs for DVT which it seems highly likely to be.
So there we are, calf is stuffed and my PBP entry has been accepted. I've gone down with a stinker of a cold and can't take anything for hayfever which I'm also suffering with. Will try to see the physio next week and see how bad the damage is. I'm down but not out.
No 10k swim scheduled yet.
Doh. Massive grats on the finish. Hope you get sorted ready for PBP.
Seren nos, the first time I ran the race I stood in the pens thinking this is just another race and once will do but here I am having run 3 ups now. You won't be disappointed.
Well no DVT and probably not much muscle damage either. It seems I had a Bakers cyst that burst. Not very nice during a race but I can stop taking the clot busting drugs. A bit of googling tells me a Bakers is often a sign of an underlying problem so finding out what that is all about could prove a challenge in the time I've got. It's not life or death so the NHS won't be very interested.
Btw, it was a bit warmer than normal and I hear there were 3000 DNF's. I say hear because there are never any DNF's in the results, if you don't finish in sub 12hr you weren't there. There are no times after 11.59.59.Interesting stat from this years race. The average position at 16k, (the first big hill) of the mens first 10 finishers was 54th.
3 down. Ch'triman 226k France. It was hard going as I'd only got up to 2.4k in the pool last week had cycled twice and not run at all since Comrades so as to let my leg recover.
Got through the swim inside the 2hr cut off which was a relief. At the start of the second lap of the bike (2 laps) the heavens opened and that continued for about 2 1/2 hrs I'd just about dried out and then it started again.
Got told off for taking my helmet off before I'd racked my bike but was surprised to be able to run, well shuffle really. After lap 1 of 4 laps I'd had enough and would have packed it in but had to finish. 14.37 not great but I only had to finish. When I got back to the hotel and showered I felt like every inch of me was bruised. Lots better today though.
PBP up next but looks like the 10k ow isn't on. 1.43 for 3.8k isn't good enough for the cut off's in a 10k, most are sold out, the last are in September and with PBP between now and then I just don't have enough time to get up to distance or speed I think.
I suppose a 10k ow before the end of the year would have to be somewhere hot and I'm broke.
Yep pretty much all bike now with a bit of pilates and spin, did a 300 at the weekend and got round OK but felt the effects of a couple of early get ups from the previous weekend.
PBP a fail. With about 100 miles to go and two controls and 6hrs to do it in I got off the bike in Mamers, walked into a bar and ordered a drink and so the challenge was over.
Sorry to hear that JB- but chapeau for the distance you covered.

A box just arrived for me in the mail containing a giant suitcase designed to carry my Brompton folding bike safely through the danger zone known as "checked luggage." Then, moments later I learned of this backpack scooter, which combines both luggage and transport in one handy, easy to carry (or ride) package.
The scooter comes from designer Gustavo Brenck. It's called the Gig Pack, and it transforms from backpack to scooter in seconds. I'm not sure if this signals the resurgence of the yuppie scooter boom of ten years ago, when advertising executives zipped around London's Soho district on folding Razor scooters for one long hot summer, but I hope not.
The Gig Pack, though, seems to fill a need that doesn't exist. These folding scooters are already super portable and–unlike bikes–can be taken onto any form of public transport without any kind of packaging. I guess that it could be a handy way to carry your shopping home from the market, and there may be a little space left inside once the scooter platform and rear wheel are stowed inside, but surely not much.
So this impracticality, combined with he fact that Brenck's scooter remains a concept, means that the huge bike case now sitting in my bedroom in search of a storage space mightn't have been such a foolish purchase after all.

Norovirus Leading Cause of Illness from Food »
"The food service industry can help prevent norovirus outbreaks.
Most norovirus outbreaks from contaminated food occur in food service settings, according to a Vital Signs (http://www.cdc.gov/vitalsigns) report by the Centers fo"...
Read the Norovirus Leading Cause of Illness from Food article »
THE USE OF DRUGS OF THE TETRACYCLINE CLASS DURING TOOTH DEVELOPMENT (LAST HALF OF PREGNANCY INFANCY AND CHILDHOOD TO THE AGE OF 8 YEARS) MAY CAUSE PERMANENT DISCOLORATION OF THE TEETH (YELLOW-GRAY-BROWN). This adverse reaction is more common during long-term use of the drugs but has been observed following repeated short-term courses. Enamel hypoplasia has also been reported. TETRACYCLINE DRUGS, THEREFORE, SHOULD NOT BE USED DURING TOOTH DEVELOPMENT UNLESS OTHER DRUGS ARE NOT LIKELY TO BE EFFECTIVE OR ARE CONTRAINDICATED.
All tetracyclines form a stable calcium complex in any bone-forming tissue. A decrease in fibula growth rate has been observed in premature human infants given oral tetracycline in doses of 25 mg/kg/ every six hours. This reaction was shown to be reversible when the drug was discontinued.
Results of animal studies indicate that tetracyclines cross the placenta, are found in fetal tissues, and can have toxic effects on the developing fetus (often related to retardation of skeletal development). Evidence of embryotoxicity has also been noted in animals treated early in pregnancy. The anti-anabolic action of the tetracyclines may cause an increase in BUN. While this is not a problem in those with normal renal function, in patients with significantly impaired function, higher serum levels of tetracycline may lead to azotemia, hyperphosphatemia, and acidosis. If renal impairment exists, even usual oral or parenteral doses may lead to excessive systemic accumulation of the drug and possible liver toxicity. Under such conditions, lower than usual total doses are indicated and, if therapy is prolonged, serum level determinations of the drug may be advisable.
Photosensitivity manifested by an exaggerated sunburn reaction has been observed in some individuals taking tetracyclines. Phototoxic reactions can occur in individuals taking demeclocycline, and are characterized by severe burns or exposed surfaces resulting from direct exposure of patients to sunlight during therapy with moderate or large doses of demeclocycline. Patients apt to be exposed to direct sunlight or ultraviolet light should be advised that this reaction can occur and treatment should be discontinued at the first evidence of erythema of the skin.
Administration of demeclocycline hydrochloride has resulted in appearance of the diabetes insipidus syndrome (polyuria, polydipsia and weakness) in some patients on long-term therapy. The syndrome has been shown to be nephrogenic, dose-dependent and reversible on discontinuance of therapy. Patients, who are experiencing central nervous system symptoms associated with demeclocycline therapy, should be cautioned about driving vehicles or using hazardous machinery while on demeclocycline therapy.
Clostridium difficile associated with diarrhea (CDAD) has been reported with use of nearly all antibacterial agents, including demeclocycline hydrochloride and may range in severity from mild diarrhea to fatal colitis. Treatment with antibacterial agents alters the normal flora of the colon leading to overgrowth of C. difficile.
C. difficile produces toxins A and B which contribute to the development of CDAD. Hypertoxin producing strains of C. difficile cause increased morbidity and mortality, as these infections can be refractory to antimicrobial therapy and may require colectomy. CDAD must be considered in all patients who present with diarrhea following antibiotic use. Careful medical history is necessary since CDAD has been reported to occur over two months after the administration of antibacterial agents.
If CDAD is suspected or confirmed, ongoing antibiotic use not directed against C. difficile may need to discontinue. Appropriate fluid and electrolyte management, protein supplementation, antibiotic treatment of C. difficile, and surgical evaluation should be instituted as clinically indicated.
Pseudotumor cerebri (benign intracranial hypertension) in adults has been associated with the use of tetracyclines. The usual clinical manifestations are headache and blurred vision. Bulging fontanels have been associated with the use of tetracyclines in infants. While both of these conditions and related symptoms usually resolve soon after discontinuation of the tetracycline, the possibility for permanent sequelae exists.
As with other antibiotic preparations, use of this drug may result in overgrowth of nonsusceptible organisms, including fungi. If superinfection occurs, the antibiotic should be discontinued and appropriate therapy should be instituted. Incision and drainage or other surgical procedures should be performed in conjunction with antibiotic therapy, when indicated. Prescribing demeclocycline hydrochloride tablets in the absence of a proven or strongly suspected bacterial infection or a prophylactic indication is unlikely to provide benefit to the patient and increases the risk of the development of drug-resistant bacteria.
Laboratory Tests
In venereal diseases when coexistent syphilis is suspected, darkfield examination should be done before treatment is started and the blood serology repeated monthly for at least 4 months. In long-term therapy, periodic laboratory evaluation of organ systems, including hematopoietic, renal, and hepatic, should be performed. All patients with gonorrhea should have a serologic test for syphilis at the time of diagnosis. Patients treated with demeclocycline hydrochloride should have a follow-up serologic test for syphilis after 3 months.
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility
Long-term studies in animals to evaluate carcinogenic potential of demeclocycline hydrochloride have not been conducted. However, there has been evidence of oncogenic activity in rats in studies with the related antibiotics oxytetracycline (adrenal and pituitary tumors) and minocycline (thyroid tumors).
Although mutagenicity studies of demeclocycline hydrochloride have not been conducted, positive results in in vitro mammalian cell assays (i.e., mouse lymphoma and Chinese hamster lung cells) have been reported for related antibiotics (tetracyclines hydrochloride and oxytetracycline). (See WARNINGS and Animal Pharmacology And Animal Toxicology.)
Demeclocycline hydrochloride had no effect on fertility when administered in the diet to male and female rats at a daily intake of 45 times the human dose.
Teratogenic effects
Pregnancy Category D
(See WARNINGS.) Result of animal studies indicate that tetracyclines cross the placenta, are found in fetal tissues, and can have toxic effects on the developing fetus (often related to retardation of skeletal development). Evidence of embryotoxicity has been noted in animals treated early in pregnancy.
Nonteratogenic effects
(See WARNINGS.)
Labor and Delivery
The effect of tetracyclines on labor and delivery is unknown.
Nursing Mothers
Tetracyclines are excreted in human milk. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants from the tetracyclines, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother (See WARNINGS.)
Pediatric Use
Not for use in patients younger than eight years of age. See WARNINGS, PRECAUTIONS (General subsection) and DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATIONThis monograph has been modified to include the generic and brand name in many instances.

All the Details & The First Trimester...Months 1-3
First of all, I would like the say thank you to SO many of you who made this announcement so fun to make...from your thoughtful comments, texts, and emails to the well wishes for our family, I appeciate it more than you know. I've been told that baby #2 can get the "shaft" when it comes to excitement, but you made this just as fun to talk about as it was with Caroline and I couldn't be happier to share this journey with you all over again ;).
So, with that being said, here are a few answers based on some questions I was given in regards to our little news:
1. When are you due? June 28, 2013. A summertime baby...oh heavens! I simply cannot wait (can you sense the total sarcasm) to wear a gorgeous maternity bathing suit to the beach in May :/. On the upside, I'm a July baby so it looks as though our house will be equal with 2 Pisces and 2 Cancers...the plot thickens my friends!
2. Was this pregnancy planned? To be honest...HECK NO! This was a total shock and one that I couldn't have even fathomed in my wildest dreams. Yes, I know what causes this (seriously, why do people even have the audacity to ask that) and yes, I did freak out in the beginning...I was scared, sad at the thought that Caroline wouldn't be the "baby" anymore, and a bit frustrated that I was going to go through another pregnancy so quickly, but then I thought about God blessing us with this miracle and I knew He knows what He is doing. (Remember, I am being honest! Having a baby is a huge thing and I am ecstatic that we get to have another, it's just the timing was a little sooner than we had expected).
3. Do you know what you're having? No, not yet. I am almost 15 weeks, though we absolutely will be finding out the sex sooner than later...you know we are planners and I need to know whether Caroline is going to have a little sister or brother. To be honest, I think it's a girl...I believe we are destined for a house full of pink and I think Jeff is going to be outnumbered by a landslide-haha. If on the other hand God blesses us with a boy, I will be super excited, as I know Jeff really does want that father/son relationship like he had with his dad. As long as this peanut is healthy, that is all we care about. At my 12 week appointment, we heard a healthy, fast heartbeat of 165/bpm. I know, my mother's intuition wasn't correct with the first one so at this point, your guess is as good as mine! We are doing a small "reveal", so I'll let you in on our secret once friends and family are in the know.
4. Will you be documenting this pregnancy like you did with Caroline? Let's face it, I am having a difficult time keeeping up with her monthly stat posts so I know myself and don't think I'll be doing the weekly fruit updates, but I promise to keep everyone informed about the big stuff we have going on and how everything is looking... Mom said we have to make sure we do fun things for #2 just like we did for Caroline and I definitely want to try my best to keep track of this special time too! Here is a little peak at how I'm looking right now: a little bloated, but no real "bump" as of yet.
5. Have you thought about how you'll decorate another nursery? Well of course I have! We will be converting one of our guest bedrooms into another nursery...and just when I thought we'd only have one child in this house, I was wrong. I've been looking at a few options of furniture, colors, and such but more will be decided once we know if it's a boy or girl. All in due time, but I promise to share inspiration and the progress of redecorating as we go!
So, with that being said, here is my first trimester update...far less to write and keep up with. I might be a slacker, but I am trying!
14 weeks, 6 days...we're into the 2nd trimester!
Size of the Wee One? Is it bad for me to tell you I haven't been keeping up with this AT ALL? Let's face it, Caroline is keeping me occupied so I haven't been following the fruit progression.
Maternity Clothes? Nope. Heck No. I am boycotting those bad boys for as long as possible. I put those garments away for what I thought would be far longer...now some of you might realize why I didn't do my maternity blog sale ;)
Weight Gain? I've gained 3 pounds so far... not too bad, but that is most certainly due to my awful bouts of morning/all day sickness and nausea. I was prescribed Zolfran to help combat those daily reminders and that helped a lot. I FINALLY have my appetite back, and have been taking advantage of all those yummy holiday goodies. (By the way, can I complain for a moment and say all this new year's focus on losing weight and whatnot scouring the TV, internet, etc REALLY isn't helpful for pregnant women? we have to gain weight so please stop with all the dieting, workout crap...i sound bitter, but it's the truth!)
Stretch Marks? Rubbing all that fun, lovely smelling lotion on the belly, thighs, and booty all over again. I am REALLY trying to prevent these this time, too!
Gender? We don't know that one little detail yet...my guess is a girl! We find out in 2 weeks so let the guessing commence.
Sleep? I am trying to get as much as possible, because I know it's all downhill from here. As soon as we put CC to bed each night, I immediately climb in bed, snuggle up with the covers, and watch some TV or read before retiring about 9:30. Yes, I am old, but mama needs her sleep!
Food Cravings? All the sweet stuff AGAIN. Clementine oranges, ice cream, sweet tea, chocolate, and Captain Crunch cereal...covering all the major food groups if you will. Still not wanting too much meat, veggies, or the healthy stuff I usually eat.
What I Miss? My desire to work out. I ventured to the YMCA for the first time in over a month last week and it felt amazing. I'm hoping that since we are now in my favorite trimester I'll get some of that motivation and energy back to do the things I love.
Symptoms? Nausea, indigestion, tiredness, pregnancy brain/forgetfulness, bloated belly
Belly Button? In...and it better stay that way for a LONG time.
Best Moment? Getting to finally spill the beans to everyone and planning for a fun gender reveal!

type __w64 identifier
- type
- One of the three types that might cause problems in code being ported from a 32-bit to a 64-bit compiler: int, long, or a pointer.
- identifier
- The identifier for the variable you are creating.
The __w64 keyword lets you mark variables, such that when you compile with /Wp64 the compiler will report any warnings that would be reported if you were compiling with a 64-bit compiler.
Any typedef that has __w64 on it must be 32 bits on x86 and 64 bits on ia64.
The __w64 modifier should be specified on any typedefs that change size between 32 bit and 64 bit platforms. For any such type, __w64 should appear only on the 32-bit definition of the typedef. For example:
#ifdef _WIN64 typedef unsigned __int64 size_t; #else typedef _W64 unsigned int size_t; #endif
__w64 is ignored if the compilation does not use /Wp64.
// __w64.cpp // compile with: /W3 /Wp64 typedef int Int_32; #ifdef _WIN64 typedef __int64 Int_Native; #else typedef int __w64 Int_Native; #endif int main() { Int_32 i0 = 5; Int_Native i1 = 10; i0 = i1; // C4244 64-bit int assigned to 32-bit int // char __w64 c; error, cannot use __w64 on char }

Some assumptions about Coulson's death were simple, that it was faked so that Nick Fury could motivate the Avengers using Coulson's treasured Captain America cards which -- as Agent Maria Hill noted -- from his locker, and not his body. Coulson simply went into hiding after that, the theories say.
However, the pilot hints at what really happened to Coulson (Clarke Gregg). It appears he was indeed resurrected after his death in "The Avengers." His fellow TV agents and S.H.I.E.L.D. colleagues will say that Coulson "must never know the truth" about his death.
Our theory is that Coulson is an LMD, a Life Model Decoy or android as in Marvel Comics. In order to possess Coulson's memories, his brain patterns would have been imprinted on the LMD's brain (simple for comics, right?).
Perhaps as part of a gimmick to keep you watching, the full story will be long in coming, though. That's something that we were already aware of, but as co-creator Jed Whedon said,
We can't wait to pull the curtain back on that. [But] we're going to take our time.This move is similar to how some shows will drag out a romance for years to keep viewers interested.
It's unclear why viewers would need such help. The stories, according to Whedon, will weave in and out of the storylines of Marvel movies. Whedon said:
We plan on trying to weave in between the films and try to make them more rewarding on both ends.
In any of these [episodes], you can always ask, "Why don't they just call Iron Man?" They are aware of each other, but they do have to have their own lives.Marvel's head of television, Jeph Loeb, also added:
When fans see this pilot, they'll be pretty astonished by what we pulled off and the challenge is to do it every week.You can expect stellar special effects, too -- at least for television. Gregg previously claimed that "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." has "incredible visual effects and stunts" unlike anything "seen on TV before."
The magic of television is that it's about characters, and fortunately that's also what Marvel is also about. We're not built around a cape and a cowl.

A man has many choices.
When you put down the deposit on your new 180g cherrywood setup, a man must choose the appropriate dance, I chose the bus driver!
sold off all my other tanks, and realized my 125g looked small next to the 210g.
I really wanted a 180g 6ft to begin with, and when a mint setup went up on the boards, I could barely contain myself.
Not picking it up til the 1st, but I am super excited. MY 75g growout tank is really filling in, and near valentines day I was hoping to be into drystart.
I doubt many would think that a 125 is too small for most planted tank purposes. Your mistake is putting it too close to the giant. Spread out a little; your floors will thank you.
As for the new 180g six footer: I share your excitement! A big tank is LOTS of work to get started - at least mine was - but once up it is a pleasure on a scale few get to enjoy. Two that size will make a nice room.
I told the fiancé I would try and keep the tanks in the fishroom/extra bedroom. I think the old setup with 12 tanks, all over the house was not
her cup of tea.
I am very glad we are in the basement apartment, and on the cement slab.
I wonder what my water bill would actually be sometimes.
The 180 setup is already running currently, so its win win for me, new fish and cycled equipment. someone bought it new/mint 6 months ago, and now its time to move out of state, classic situation.

Cruz was also asked about taking less money to sign his deal. He said he felt less was more, and that it was more than worth it to give the Giants a hometown discount.
"I think playing in New York, you can't take that away," Cruz said. "You have to hold that up to an account at some point when you're going through these negotiations. You ask yourself, 'Would you want to play for this amount in New York and play in the best city in the world and play football, and — I'm a hometown kid (from Paterson, N.J.) — be close to home and your mom and your family? Or do you want to take a big payday and go somewhere like Kansas City or Minnesota where your family might not be able to come as often as you want and you're living in a city you're not too familiar with and it's an adjustment for you?' So you have to take all those things into account as well."

project finishing advice
I'm sure allot of you have been were I'm at right now.
Last year I soldoff the montecarlo and ought my 58 Volvo project for $600 no motor or tranny.So far I've got the frame and firewall painted,motor between the rails and aprtialy hooked up,doors together,finished the elec. etc..
Problem is it seems like everything on the car has been started and nothing is finished.It need winshield cut,driveshaft lengthened,gotta find a rad to fit between the fenders,sandblast the nose and put it on,weld patches in to complete headlights,drop the steering column and stabilize the column and various other stuff.Half of this stuff has to be done elswere as I don't have welders and sandblasters etc..
Its been sitting for months waiting,I've done a lil but theres so much.I'm also in a major cash rut(I have none).I actually thought for a while about selling it off and my tools and being done,but know I would regret it not having a hotrod.Meanwhile its on jackstands costing $85 to store. Anyone have any advice on how to get it in gear and get her to roll down the road under her own power again??I need a game plan or help organizing or something maybe a case of beer and a pizza.Its prolly within $600 of being driveable its just were to start again.

58 Volvo? got any pics?
Do you live in Texas? if you do I'm the guy you need, I can get ANY car back on the road.
That's tough luck. I'm gonna tell you exactly what you probably dont want to hear.
OPTION 1 is to sell the car. Sell it, and start saving up money. A few months withouth a rod wont hurt. Save up more money and always look out for good deals. After you got enough money, buy a welder. Start saving up again and then buy another project car.Take it easy and have patience
OPTION 2: take it easy with the car. Find a cheaper place to store it (relatives?). Get a job or a better job and start saving up more money. Get a $200 beater car or ride a bike. Slowly work on it whenever you got the money.
I guess I am lucky. I currently have 3 projects I am working on. I got the first one 15 years ago. I then injured my back and suffered a serious set-back on my project because of physical and financial problems. Then I was distracted for about 6-8 years while my son and I raced go-karts. I still picked up a couple more projects along the way. I am now back on my projects and making head-way. Although my wife tells me that I can pick up the phone and order what I need, I still have flash-backs of bad times, so I still shop more than buying. I work on which ever project I have parts or time for. Not having a problem of having to pay to store my projects does make things easier for me, and enables me to take as long as I want/need.
You need to find someplace to store your stuff until you can afford to get going again. Atleast older iron increases in value over time.
the only thing I can tell you is HANG IN THERE.
I guess I may have made it sound a lil worse than it is.I do have access to a sandblaster and a welder and also have a freind that is a certified welder.Its just that as I look at the car its like I gotta tow it here for this,take this there for that,take this part off and have this freind do this to it and hope it fits when I get it back etc...meanwhile the little bit of money it needs I don't have,so I'm kinna overwhelmed.
First thing I think I'm gonna walk around the car and make a list,then do everthing I can aford first.I think with a checklisti may feel a lil more organied and on a track.Right now I feel like "I can do this,wait no it needs that",I can put that on,but wait that needs to be cut and welded first","Well I'll finish that,wait no I need one of those first and there $100"etc...etc...
Fastchevy,yea I got pics but no way to post um.I was sposed to put some up 8mo ago whan I got the thing
Take your trip around the car and make the list of what you need/want to do. Then sit down and make another list of the order that you think it should be done. When you have the list done, you will have a list of small projects you need/want to do. Tackle one of them at a time, when you have the time and resourses to do them.
Consider this. If you feel that you need to change the carb and manifold. You obviously need the manifold first, to change the carb. That is 3 projects to do, get the manifold, get the carb, and install both. If you show them as 3 projects, and mark them off of your list as you get them done, you feel great that you are cutting down your list, although you may not be doing it as fast as you want. The shorter your list get as you work on, the better you feel.
I really doubt that there are any of us that get our projects done as quick as we would like. The real goal is to work on it and get it finished. On projects, I don't set time plans, just completion plans. Use your friends abilities and resourses when you can to achieve your goals. When you can, help your friends to achieve their goals.
In the long run, it is all about the "feel good factor" of accomplishing the goal. Helping someone else achieve their goal will also help you motivate yourself to achieve yours.
Thanks adkart,I started a list(allthough I need to make a more organized one).
I'm gettin back in the swing of things and I'm getting less dicouraged.I did a lil more work on it last night. I guess I just gotta plug allong.
I'm not so worried about getting it finished I'd just like to be bale to back it out and drive it up the road under it own power with the nose on so I feel like I have an actual car instead of a boxes of car parts.lol Thats my goal by Fall.
Also I have a good 350 I'm prolly gonna sell to get the money for the driveshaft and mabe a used set of block huggers to mod(hell if I'm lucky maybe I can squeze the rad. outta it).I didn't wanna sell it but I guess one good 350 is enough for 1 car.
just get stuck in man. I made up a list for my holden but it was too mind boggling to even look at so Im just gonna go hard and do everything night after night after night.......................................... ............... ............................. after night until its done. just dont get outta the swing of it cause youll never want to get back into in once you have a bit of relaxation

Town Square
No evidence that McNerney understands and follows the US Constitution
Original post made by Paul, Another Pleasanton neighborhood, on Sep 17, 2010
In an earlier posting, you stated that...
"It is one of our Congressman Jerry McNerney jobs to understand our Constitution. He does that job very well ..."
Given the above, can you please check with your buddy, Jerr, and report back to this PW Town Forum specifically where in the US Constitution it allows the Federal Government to ...
- REQUIRE American citizens to purchase health insurance (which McNerney voted for in Obamacare while not allowing ANY public forum for discussion with him present to hear us)???
This is very important. I'd like to hear from him...since he "understands" the Constitution so well.
I have a few more Constitutional questions regarding how McNerney can rectify other Democrat decisions ...like...
- where does the Constitution give the President the authority to FIRE a private sector employee (e.g. GM President)?
- How do you...Mr. McNerney...justify voting for the "FAIRNESS Doctrine" and the DISCLOSE ACT when these violate the 1st Amendment of allowing Free Speech? You merely want to shut down opposition media!
Chet buddy...I'll settle for an answer to just one of the questions above...and won't hold my breath.
McNerney couldn't care less about our Constitution...unless he happens to be out of toilet paper.

All of my questions are very legitimate...and vitally important if we want a US Congressman who RESPECTS and ADHERES to the US Constitution!
Your unwillingness to provide an answer to any of my questions...especially the following is VERY REVEALING!
(The answer is that he knows the US Constitution doesn't allow for this but he doesn't care one iota.)
Where in the US Constitution does it allow the Federal Government to ...
- REQUIRE American citizens to purchase health insurance (which McNerney voted for in Obamacare while not allowing ANY public forum for discussion with him present to hear us)???
You are despicable, Chet...as is the expletive deleted McNerney.

I think that lots of folks feel entitled. However, just because you believe that your questions are legit doesn't necessarily mean that the person they're directed at agrees that your questions warrant a response. Maybe he responded by saying uh-huh, uh-huh...now lets moveon.com!
It could be that he is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyy tired from working that he just doesn't have the time to pay attention to you. tee hee hee, eeh eeh eet...
catcha later porker...

Where does the constitution say it was OK to bailout failed Wall Street firms? Can you please check with your hero, Sara Palin where she finds that in the constitution?

Cholo, easy buddy. For they do not know what they do...
Representative McNerney is likely one of the best we have had for the last two decades. What they, the opposition, hold against him is that he is a Democrat. They do not care what he has done for our Veterans, for example.
The fact that some Republicans endorse him is of little consequence to the close-minded far right. All they care about is winning at all costs...even if the United States suffers for it.
They provide obstructionist tactics to solutions.

There are a lot of things that aren't in the Constitution; the central banking system, for example. The right to privacy. And then, of course, there were things that were changed in the Constitution for obvious reasons... *coughslaverycough*
My point here is that if you're going to argue that anything that isn't in the Constitution is unlawful, you're going to hit a few minor snags...

Read, regarding "that anything that isn't in the Constitution is unlawful," is strict interpretation. Therefore, only white males owning property shall vote. Slavery is perfectly acceptable. Women voting?? no way!
So, you and Scalia were saying?
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Pueblo woman recalls horrific plane crash 25 years ago
Colorado Springs, COLO. - The 25th anniversary of the tragic crash landing of United Flight 232 in Sioux City, brings mixed emotions for one survivor.
The death toll in the July 19, 1989 crash was 112, while 184 people survived.
The flight from Denver to Chicago experienced two engine failures and the failure of its hydraulic steering.
One of the survivors, was 5-year-old Lindsi Pisciotta of Pueblo. She can still remember the crash.
"I was having fun looking down when all of a sudden the speakers came on and said bend down and touch your feet. I knew the plane was going to crash and so I just started to pray. Please keep us safe and don't let us crash."
Pisciott suffered a few minor scratches. Being lucky enough to survive is something she deals with on a daily basis.
"I'm really crazy about telling everybody I love them all the time. They will tell you that I want a hug and a kiss no matter if you're going to the grocery store, or school or whatever, I'm just, you never know when it's going to be the last time you get to talk to somebody," said Pisciotta.
Pisciotta said one of the main reasons she survived was because she was seated in the middle section of the plane right above the wing. That's where most people who survived were seated. To this day, Pisciotta said she only flies if she can have a seat over the wing.
