I'm curious as to what you were able to find out...my husband and I were just looking at our homeowner's insurance and wondering if we'd have enough coverage to build a new comparable home (we currently have 1000 SF in central Austin) on our lot in the event that something happened. We want to add on someday, but in the meantime have covered what we thought was reasonable for what we currently have (and are paying on).
If you want, I can go through my list of contacts and actually connect you with some of them that might be in that range - let me know by visiting my profile and contacting me through the Trulia form http://www.trulia.com/profile/EricEstate/
and I would be glad to help.
Even though there are lots of builders in Austin, most new builds are around the $100 PSF range or more. Like others have said, it depends on what you want as far as finish outs - flooring, fixtures, appliances, etc.
Remember: you get only what you pay for.
I'm sorry... ahem... I just haven't heard a good joke in a while. Actually $110 PSF would be considered a good price if you can get it. The builders (the Pro's anyway) are staying plenty busy in Northwest Austin right now.
If they aren't busy and they drive a beat-up truck, I'd steer clear! I'm a contractor turned realtor, with over 21 years in the real estate industry. The prices here are dirt cheap compared to ANYWHERE else I've seen in the U.S. Los Angeles PPSF (Price Per Square Foot) to build, for example, would easily be over $200 and go up from there.
Pippa, if you can get that price to build a home, I'd sure like to see it! Because even the great Wayne Morgan would love to buy some of those deals.
BTW, I'll raise the flag for Pippa - she's well-respected in the investor community here in Austin. A true professional if you are looking for an honest assessment. I'd say it's worth a few minutes of your time to call her and ask questions.
Good luck!
-whether soft costs are included (architects, permits, engineers, etc)
-single story or two (second floor footage is cheaper)
-Utilities - does it need septic, are city connections already at the property?
-Level of finish out (largest variability)
It's very tough to generalize, but I would say that $100-$120 is going to be about your bottom price.
If you want to sell your house and buy another one, I'd be glad to help. You could also contact some builders and find out what a realistic price/sqft is, but you probably will be shocked to hear.

The Space
The room is very private and has a separate entrance and it's own private bathroom. Located in a quiet neighborhood, near Diamond Head, with a 10 to 15 minutes walk to Waikiki, beaches. There are great little restaurants and shops just 3 minuets down the block. The bus to almost anywhere on the island stops just down the block. Diamond Head Creator hike and the best Saturday Farmers Market on the island are less than a mile away. A 10 to 15 minuet walk will get you to the Zoo, Kapiolani Park, and the Aquarium. Weekends has a great art fair on the Zoo fence.
It has a full size bed, small fridge, micro, coffee pot, cable TV, wireless internet, and parking is in front of the house. No smoking please.
Interaction with Guests
I am available if my guest need something.
I have been know to do my guest laundry, on occasion.
The Neighborhood
It is so convenient to everything , but out of the noise of Waikiki.
Getting around
The Bus to almost any where you want to go is just a 3 minuet walk down the street.
Other Things to Note
There are many great restaurants just a few minutes walking down the street.
I rent two rooms in my house, so please be considerate of others if you are coming in late or up early in the morning. No smoking.
Small dog possible.
Anna was very welcoming and sweet. The room we rented had everything you needed and host even provided beach towels. No street lighting so a little dark at night but Anna provided a keychain flashlight, great touch. Walls were a little thin could hear other guests, Overall nice for a short stay. Thank you!
Anna is a welcoming host. Bedroom and bathroom are nice and clean and you find everything you need there.
The location was perfect for us. The neighbourhood is beautiful and quiet. Just down the street, there are a lot of really good and reasonably priced restaurants. And Waikiki is only a 10 minute walk away.
I stayed with Ann for 3 nights. Her room was exactly as listed. She was there to greet me, and even had two bottles of water waiting for me in the mini fridge of my room. This location was minutes by car to Diamond Head entrance and Waikiki Beach. You can easily walk to either as well. There is a slight incline in the street leading out/up to Anna's house. My top 3 likes for this stay was how peaceful the location/room was, how quiet it was (could only hear the doves cooing), and the privacy. The private entrance to the room has an outdoor screen as well as the door itself, so I was able to leave it open when in the room allowing a breeze with nice tree view into room. Anna's room had EVERYTHING you could possibly need. The walk-in closet was packed with coffee supplies, dishes/utensils, iron, hot water warmer for tea, microwave, fridge, paper towels, extra towels/sheets, and plenty of storage space for your clothes. Great stay, thanks Anna!
This place is just great! Cozy and comfortable, awesome location and Anna is really nice and helpful. If you want to avoid the Waikiki crowd but still be part of the City this is quite right!
I arrived quite late and Anna was waiting to show me to my room. It's a sweet cozy room with lots of touches that show care and attention to detail. The neighborhood is lovely and near to parks and restaurants. Super comfy bed! Fluffy towels!
Kathy and I enjoyed ourselfs at Anna.s place.This area is on the slopes of diamond head and is a quite neighborhood. I would definitely come back again.
We had an extremely nice stay with Anna. Anna communicated promptly and thoroughly before my stay. The room and the house are wonderful-- clean, well-prepared, and everything is as described. Anna is extremely friendly and helpful. We had a number of nice conversations. There is parking right in her driveway. She also offers guests a nice assortment of tea and coffee.The place is within walking distance of the center of Honolulu and Waikiki.
Many Thanks for all

Elizabeth Blueberry
Bit of a Noob here...I bought my first Blueberry bush this season and have a few questions. I currently have it in a pot, until I can find a spot for it (and condition the soil).
I bought an Elizabeth Blueberry bush and it has grown a bit. However:
1) The leaves are a bit red. I noticed that they get 'greener' sometimes. What could be causing this?
I'm thinking it could be a temp issue, since it's currently in a pot and the weather has been very hot one day and cold the next.
2) I only bought 1 bush. Do I need to buy another bush to pollinate? If so, do I get another Elizabeth or will I need a different variety?
3) If I need a different variety, what is a good choice for Zone 10 and what is compatible with the Elizabeth?
I believe I need to get a variety that blooms around the same time (late season?) and with low chill hours.
4) What other factors need to be taken into account when selecting a pollinating companion?
Thanks in advance,
I looked up Elizabeth Blueberry and its rated for zones 4-8. Your in zone 10??? If so, chances are your plant will not recieve enough chill hours to fruit in your location. The good news is there are several varieties that are rated for zone 10. I know Biloxi, Misty, Sharpblue and Sunshine Blue are rated through zone 11 so you will have much better success with these varieties. Gulfcoast is also rated for zone 10.
Thanks Blueboy,
I bought it from Gurney's:
and it is rated for Zones 4-9, which is why I got it. I hope it isn't a typo...I have their caroline raspberries (rated 4-9) and they are doing great, but that may be a different beast. I think I've seen Misty and sharpblue at local nurseries and HD.
If I were you I would get both Misty and Sharpblue. Between the 3 you shouldnt have a pollination problem. Most Southern High Bush bloom close enought to each other for pollination. If you can find Sunshine Blue I highly recommend that variety. Very easy to grow, short and compact with tasty fruit. Cool temps will cause some redding in the leafs. I get the same thing here durning spring. Green one day and reddish the next.

The pace of construction at Glacier Creek and Kromrey middle schools will pick up over the next few weeks as crews work to finish projects.
The interior additions at Glacier Creek are all but complete, Findorff project manager Matt Premo told Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District officials at a construction meeting Tuesday. The only area that has minor touch-ups is in the new student services area in the front of the school.
Meanwhile, he said the pouring of concrete for parking lots and roads around the school should be done in less than a week. The front entrance sidewalks should be poured this week, while seeding on the east end of the site will also take place this week. Furniture for the fifth-grade wing and other new rooms should be delivered July 31.
The City of Middleton will be hosting a neighborhood information meeting on July 30 at 5:30 p.m. to discuss a new trail area and a proposed bike and pedestrian plan.
The path would go from Pheasant Branch Conservancy to Graber Pond Trail. IOn the agenda for discussion are water resources, the trail corridor and trail planning.
The hour-long event will take place at the Middleton City Hall Council Room, 4726 Hubbard Ave.
The meeting will be hosted by the Public Lands, Recreation, and Forestry Department.
The city said it will close an intersection under construction for the day Wednesday.
Middleton said the intersection of Branch Street and Maywood Avenue will be closed in a notice Wednesday morning. Motorists will not be able to drive through on either street. The intersection closure will only apply for the day Wednesday.
A months-long construction project on Branch Street began in early June and is expected to be completed in early October. Crews are replacing the water main, repairing sewers, sidewalks and gutters and resurfacing the road.
The city's contractor for the reconstruction of Branch Street is scheduled to begin Phase 2 of the project on Monday... Read More
A meeting Thursday at Middleton City Hall will give Terrace Avenue property owners the chance to discuss updating their sewer laterals.
Crews began work June 9 on a project along Terrace Avenue to replace the water main, sanitary sewer, sidewalk, curb and gutter. The city is also constructing a parking lot east of the skate park and a "market arcade" in front of Capital Brewery.
The Water & Sewer Utility assessed private sewer laterals that connect to the city sewer main beneath Terrace Avenue. According to a notice from the City of Middleton Tuesday, "quite a few of the laterals are significantly deteriorated due to their age--over 75 years in most cases."
A portion of Branch Street is expected to be closed for about a month for maintenance, according to a notice from the city.
The roadway between Century Avenue and Columbus Drive will close beginning Monday for the first phase of the Branch Street reconstruction project, according to the city of Middleton.
Crews will resurface the road, replace the water main and do spot repairs of the sidewalk, curb, gutter and sanitary and storm sewers.
The project is planned to be take place in three phases to minimize disruptions to local access, according to the notice.
The early finish date for phase one of the project is noted as July 10 on the city project plans, and traffic control is forecasted to end between Century and Columbus on July 2.
Downtown property owners, business owners, and residents are invited to attend a public informational meeting on Thursday, June 5, from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m., at Middleton City Hall.
The meeting will discuss the City's plans for reconstructing Terrace Avenue.
Project manager, Tom Stetzer and field representative, Jon Solan of Strand Associates will join City staff to discuss specific aspects of the project .
"This meeting will be an excellent opportunity to learn about project phasing and timeline. Work is scheduled to begin in mid June and be completed by early November," said Mark Opitz City Project Manager.
The City and its engineering consultant Strand Associates are working with the contractor Raymond P. Cattell to schedule the work to minimize disruption to businesses and residents.

U. S. Virgin Islands Restaurants
Great views but just okay food
The best things about this restaurant is its open air atmosphere and the location. The Green House has great views of Charlotte Amalie's harbor and you can watch the sea planes landing and taking off. However the food and the service is just okay. Don't go out of your way to go here. Its not worth it.more
Great Food Great Atmoshphere
This place has a big menu with a wide variety. The food is great and the price is reasonable. The atmosphere is fun and the service is friendly and fast. Philly Cheese Steak, Shrimp Parmesan Sub, and Fried Shrimp Plattermore
Lunch Overlooking the Harbor
For great burritos in Red Hook, make sure you visit Burrito Bay Deli. Everything we tried there was great including the burritos, enchiladas and quesadillas. The prices are reasonable as well making this a good stop for lunch. You can even take your lunch to the back where they have tables overlooking Red Hook Harbor. The restaurant also has a...more
Great Breakfast and Lunch
So, Delly Deck isn't the nicest looking restaurant. However, what it lacks in ambience, it makes up for ten-folds in service and food. The waitress at our table was amazing and helped us make our decision from their vast menu. Just remember, the food will take some time to come out. The Virgin Islands work on island time which means a slower pace...more
Rhumb Lines Restaurant
Rhumblines is a restaurant that is a bit hard to find. You have to go through a convenience store to get to the restaurant. However, when you get there, it completely surprises you. The decor and ambiance is so different from the other restaurants on St. John. The restaurant is mostly outdoors in a courtyard. Tables and chairs are decorated in...more
Try Everything Here!
On one of our days in St. John, our plan was to visit Trunk Bay. However, when we arrived, there was no parking. So, we decided to head to Cruz Bay to grab some lunch to wait out the crowds. As everyone was hungry, we drove to Mongoose Junction to try out one of the restaurants there. We came across a small cafe in the middle courtyard called Sun...more
Don't Miss the Nachos and Burgers!
Shipwreck Tavern is easy to miss as you are driving by Havensight Mall. Try to get directions from a local because this is a place you absolutely do not want to miss. Shipwreck has a bar in the middle and tables along the walls. They have a DJ in there once in a while playing some tunes. But all of this is not why I come here. I come hear for the...more
Great to watch sunset
Island Blues is located in Coral Bay and is a very laid back restaurant/bar right on Coral Bay. We sat right on the water and it's open to the inside bar area where you can hear live music (played every night). The Painkiller! I had the best of my trip here. I ordered a mahi sandwich and boyfriend had the stewed chicken plate. Neither were amazing...more
The best food of the trip!
Tucked in a small alley in Charlotte Amalie, we stumbled across this restaurant on our last day on our way back to the airport. Prices were reasonable, service was great, food was amazing, and the restaurant is cool and comfy. Open for breakfast and lunch. We ordered the Curry Caribbean Chicken as well as the Stewed Caribbean Chicken and both were...more
great food and dining experience
This is one of my favorite restaurants in St Thomas. The decor is rustic, with outdoor dining and wooden tables. It is located by the American Yacht Harbor, close to the ferry to St John. You have to try the catch of the day (always fresh and very well cooked)! If you like sushi, try the Tuna and Salmon Sushi platter. Their Black Angus steak is...more
good food, very casual atmosphere!
This is my second favorite restaurant in St Thomas. It is an open-air eatery, in Red Hook, by the ferry to St John. It is a favorite among locals: good food, great atmosphere and location - boats docked nearby.They serve fresh fish, oversize deli sandwiches and great soups and stews. This is the place where iguanas are roaming freely and they beg...more

We had lunch here one day on the outdoor terrace/porch, and although you might think it would be hot...there was a great breeze and ceiling fans which made it very comfortable. The veggies brick oven pizza I had was very good! They also serve open-faced sandwiches and unique pasta dishes that are cooked to order. My husband had the tamarind...more
when in mood for Mexican food, go here!
When you are in a mood for Mexican food and you want to eat something good and cheap, head to the Burrito Bay Deli, by Red Hook. It is a deli that serves great food at very good prices. Check out this map for their location: http://www.virginislandsmap.com/stthomas/redhook/index.htmlmore
great food on the beach!
This is the place where you can eat while visiting Magen's Beach. The food is good with good prices. The wooden tables and chairs are comfortable and you can enjoy your food while looking at the beach, which to me is always a plus! You do not need to dress up to eat here, most people just wear their bathing suits while ordering/eating. They also...more
Fun spot for a quick bite
Island Blues, shore side restaurant & bar, is open to the lively sea breezes. A small but varied menu is offered including a great daily soup, sandwiches, fresh and interesting salads and several daily specials. Ask them about their music schedule too. We had burgers, which were freshly cooked to order and tastymore
One of St. John's best
The Lime Inn is about three blocks from the dock in Cruz Bay. Parking is very limited. But once there, it was wonderful. We had just arrived and needed to egt into Island mode. The people at the restaurant were friendly and helpful, getting us seated quickly after a couple of drinks at the bar. The food was top notch! We both had something...more
Our Group of 11 went there at 6:00 and was able to sit right down. It sits right on Morning Star beach and looks over the ocean. YOu can see the cruise ships depart right past your seat. The menu looked almost too go to be true, everything looked great. The only bad thing was that there did not seem to be enough staff. It took over 10 minutes for...more
Yummy Mexican Food
This is a wonderful outdoor dinning in St. John USVI. They have a big variety of food and the prices were good. Everything we ate was wonderful. Shrimp Quesadillas, Nachos, & Chalupasmore
Wonderful Cuisine
This is the restaurant located at the Secret Harbour Beach Resort. It combines outdoor dinning with wonderful food. Jerk Mahi Mahi was sooo good. Other favorites were also the surf and turf.more

Fruit Stands
There are some excellent produce stands around the islands, mainly in areas which the locals frequent. This fascinating banana stand was a prime example, in the back streets of Cruz Bay, St. John.more
Dine Al Fresco on Saffire Beach
The great thing about this restaurant is that you can literally step off the beach and onto this covered dining terrace. They do ask you to wear a beach cover up though! Whether on the beach or terrace, other islands are part of the view and oh, what a view it is. It's almost too much for the eyes and brain to absorb...the beach, the aquamarine...more
Not a restaurant, but a pizza place with delivery. Pizza Pies, Pizza Slice, Sandwiches and Salads. I've only had the pizza here (twice, take-out), with pepperoni, onion, and mushrooms. V. good, not greasy, and fresh. Price: For an 18 inch pizza woth 3 toppings, it cost $18. For 4 people that's not bad. Open 11am-8pm.more
A taste of Ireland
The only authentic Irish pub in the USVI. They serve tradtional Irish food, as well as American burgers, etc. Overlooks the red Hook harbour and is located in a kind of very small outdoors mall, with a ice-cream place (the other Cold Stone Creamery'), other restaurants, and some shops. Duffy's is across the road. Open 7am-2am!Average prices for the...more
Foxy's in Jost Van Dyke - BVI
Not really American food, but sandwiches with chips, inc. the ;flying fish' sandwich. Really, if you make it to Jost van Dyke, a British Virgin Island, you'll make it to Foxy's. I went there as part of a day's sailing trip. No shoes needed, as most people are coming to Foxy's via dingy from their boat. Extremely relaxed place, with picnic style...more
It's been described as a 'winnebago in a car park', but Duffy's is more like a deluxe winnebago on the edge of a car park. A shack, with Caribbean and Hawaii decor.Very popular with locals and tourists alike, Dress is casual. They have tables in the shack, which also houses a small dance floor, and outdoors.I had a chicken caesar salad which was...more
Craig and Sally's
I've put this restaurant under seafood, but they also serve pasta, lamb, veal, salads.The menu changes everyday.

I've put it under American, but really it's just a great restaurant. Everything from salads (I had a Greek salad), to fish and pasta. I've been here loads just to walk around (is a 5 min. walk from where I'm staying) and it has a great garden, which is lit up with fairy lights at night, with a stream. The owner, Ted, is really friendly although I...more
Avoid big name restaurants
Although it's tempting to eat somewhere that is familiar to you in both surrounding and food, I would try and avoid all the fast food restaurants in Charlotte Amalie. There's everything from Pizza Hut to McDonalds here, but they offer nothing that you can't get at home. Instead, try a local seafood restaurant, which will offer fresh fish. An...more
Bring an Appetite
Friday Night Seafood Buffet at the Caneel Bay hotel restaurant. It's pricey ($60/person), but if you've got an appetite and appreciate fine food, it's a rare experience. The buffet includes a variety of gourmet-level appetizers, salads, entrees, and desserts - including all the Carribean lobster you can eat. Would go back again. Far too many...more
Great seafood in Cruz Bay
Open air spot in Cruz Bay with tropical ambiance and a variety of seafood - skillful dishes without gourmet excesses. It's a fairly casual spot wih mid-range prices - would again be first choice of where to dine. 3 lb. Carribean lobster - definitely worth a splurge!more
Don't Drink the Water

There are so many great restaurants on St John, but our favorite for special dinners is Asolare; for fish it's Fishtrap, and for lunch and all-you-can-eat shrimp on Wednesdays it's Lime Inn. Best cheesburger is at Skinny Legs in Coral Bay and 2nd best is at the snackbar at Trunk Bay. Cheap beer at Freds or Mooies at anytime and other places for...more

There is a bar there called Pussers. They make and sell their own rum. If you like tall tails of the salty seas in an english accent I think this is as good a place as any to find one.

Stone Terrace for dinner
Imagine yourself seated at an intimate candle lit table. The terrace is perched atop a native stone wall above the Cruz Bay Harbor. Waves lap at the sand, a salt breeze stirs the air, mingled night sounds drift up from the waterfront, a last boat ties up in the harbor for the night...you sip your red wine and anticipate the first bite of a...more
Chilly Billy's for breakfast
Good prices, good food, just don't expect the staff (that means one person) to be nice to you, they're busy dammit. It's all part of the charm, and if you're dining alone visit the book exchange rack. Don't forget to mark your hometown on the world map. They make a special kind of twisted bread with raisins and cinnamon, and then turn it into...more
Uncle Joe's BBQ
This is Uncle Joe standing next to his beloved barbeque grill. This is it...he and his grill are basically situated in the middle of the street. The smoke from the grill and aroma of BBQ meat fills the streets of downtown St. John. The locals love this place and we did too! BBQ Ribs and BBQ Chicken Combo comes with rice & beans and corn. Mmm-mm...more
Shela's Pot
This is actually a outdoor cart where Shela cooks food from home and transports it to the cart for sale during the day. Seating is outdoors and shared with fellow islanders and taxi drivers on break playing cards. Goat stew comes with best potato salad, mixed vegetables, rice & beans, corn.more
Depending on where you are,...
Depending on where you are, there are all sorts of resturant's. My favorite is on Tortola, and is called Stanley's. They are located directly on the beach, and serve great food.Beautiful front, you look out directly into this bright blue bay of ocean water. Crab. Everytime I've been there I get crab. Or a burger if I'm in the mood. It's all good.more

On Tortola, a restaurant called Capricio del Mare is highly recommended, but not really cheap. As a general rule, you better have to cook yourself your meals if you are on a tight budget. There is a huge supermarket in Road Town on Tortola with reasonnable prices.more

I can't remember the name of this restaurant, but if you walk in to an Italian type place and see this decor on the walls, put your name on the list immediately. I do know it is upstairs only.It's got a good mix between Mediterranean food and Italian--very creative! I heartily enjoyed the lasagna.more
Morgan's Mango
It's open air and feels like its in a jungle. Hmm..I believe it was the surf & turf. They do a wonderful job with all sorts of seafood down there. Barbara, on the other hand, loved the conch fritters everywhere we went.more
Well....We didn't really eat...

Rangers' lefty relievers see opportunity in numbers
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Texas general manager Jon Daniels joked that the bullpen competition for the Rangers is a lot stronger from the right side than it is from the left side. That's what happens when you only have three left-handers in camp, two of which are 100 percent healthy. But while Daniels said the club will continue to look outside the organization for left-handed relief help...

All canes on one plant died
Hi I purchased a few mini roses a few weeks back and they proved too tempting for my cat who knocked them over twice before I had a chance to repot them. I have since repotted them and some plants had a lot of leaves turn yellow and fall off, some plants had all of the canes die back. I remove the dead leaves and canes as I see them but now I have one plant that I had to cutt off all of the canes. Will it survive and grow new canes or should I remove that plant? There are 4 indivigual rose pants that came potted together and my other plants are showing good growth now. I don't plan on doing much more pruning at this point as it really needs to recover. I am growing the roses indoors in my east facing window and have a supplimental grow light that I have directed at the base of the plant on the side opposite of the window. Thanks for any and all advice!
Every rose has it's own bloom cycle length so there's no way to say for sure. It can range anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks usually. But being indoors it will be iffy to keep them alive at all. Even with a grow light and misting they won't get enough light and humidity probably. If possible I'd move them to a south side window where they should get stronger light and place them on a tray of gravel with water in it but NOT touching the bottoms of the pots to raise the humidity around them. When you split those plants up you may have injured the root systems and that would be the cause of the yellow leaf drop and death of the one plant. They will need time to rebuild their root systems before you can expect them to bloom again. Make sure the pots have very good drainage and feed them a diluted (like 1/2 strength) fertilizer at least once a month too.
Thanks for the advice, the remaining plants are surviving and growing, I am misting them for humidity and I mixed in perlite into the miracle grow soil for drainage. I am hoping new canes will grow from the bare bud unions but if they don't will it hurt the other plants to leave them as is?
Well, now, that's hard to say. If they all died back and you cut them off the entire plant may have died. But it's a mini and they are mostly own root plants so it IS possible it could send up new canes from the roots. But if it hasn't done so in a short time I'd assume it's dead. You could very carefully remove some of the soil and see what the root ball looks like. If there are still some very fine white feeder roots there's some hope. If all of the roots look dry and brown I'd say it's a goner, sorry.

The measure was introduced into the Idaho Legislature by the Senate State Affairs Committee as Senate Joint Resolution 104.[2]

+ Lots of emotional charge
+ Best combat system in the series
+ 25+ hours game-play
+ Tuchanka mission (don't want to spoil)
+ Quarian and Geth plot
+ Multiplayer
- Illogical, senseless, ending
- Boring secondary quests
- Plot holes
- Predictable story
- Null exploration
- Easily gets repetitive
- No omega, illium or other cities, only the Citadel is present (with no to much to do...)
May 16th, 2012 1 person agrees 0 people don't
unfortunately me3 was not as good as me2 or me1. In my opinion it was a great mistake to disable locations like omega or illysium. now u can only visit citadel. furthermore the multiplayer in refenrence to the singleplayer really sucks. and the multiplayer is boring. it's always the same, theres only one game-mode, which is some invasion stuff.
the ending itself was pretty epic but unfortunately no reference to your actions where made, so in the end no of ur earlier choices matters. It's still a ****** epic game with some really emotional moments but its the same procedure as every time. the end of a video game story never is as great as u expect. but if u've played the first two parts its ur ******* duty to end this story!

The story, the characters, just everything... Perfect.
I love the DLC, especially the Citadel DLC. With the Extended Cut dlc I also like the ending.
I recommend this to anyone who likes awesome and epic stories and who can actually play more then 40 hours with a singe game.

The only thing i have to say about this games is that it have teh BEST SCI-FI setup of all times i just love everything about it. the only draw back is that i dont have the money to buy all the DLC for ME2 and ME3
Sep 29th, 2013 0 people agree 0 people don't
I hated the original ending and still wonder why the fixed ending still contains the crash landing of Normandy on some random-*** uninhabited planet just to takeoff and go on its merry way.
That said, I ******* love this game and I would easily include it among my favorite games of all time.
Firstly the game looks great for how much it taxes your hardware. When I first had a defective EVGA GTX680 GPU when putting a whole new PC together and I couldn't run most of my games, I could still run this without the card melting after two minutes. It's amazing what good lighting and environmental effects can do to make an otherwise unimpressive game look good.
The combat is improved, as it has continued to be. The weapon variety, given that you grab all the DLC as it is pretty cheap anyways, is extensive. Abilities are better fleshed-out with diverging trees that drove me mad trying to figure out effective combinations and expenditure of points.
The story is no less greater if not unquestionably superior to the previous game; mostly because its the climax and you spend no small amount of time in a large variety of massive battles. There are plenty of moments that nearly drew a tear, from me that's a rare and quite remarkable thing to pull-off. Most characters are interesting as is the plot along with my own accepted plot overriding the ******** god-child ending, which was considered as a possible canon ending before the game's release. (dark energy breaking the universe down, note to self: ME3EM) Though if anything I'm glad there wasn't a perfect happy ending, it wouldn't have been nearly as impactful as I spent the better part of an hour lying in my room after beating the game; depressed but in a good way.
And above all else, your relationships within the crew; Garrus, Joker, Grunt, Tali, and Miranda's *** was possibly the most subtle yet greatest part of the experience.
Tali <3

Good + Bad :Story line is a ******** (Sucks as hell also its boring)i just like that we can play Multiplayer,levelling up and things like that at Multiplayer.We are able to use powers at singleplayer&multiplayer and at singleplayer,we are able to manage our squad by pressing q and e buttons or you can choose their powers if they leveld up.
I really didnt like that game,if you bought that game...Just Play Multiplayer.
My Rate: 5/10

How To Make A Simple Geometric Canvas Painting
What is it about painting that makes me feel all frenchified and beret-worthy? Anyway, I finally got around to painting one of the giant (and deeply discounted) 40 x 30″ canvases that we scored for $23 from Michael's thanks to 50% off with an additional 25% off on top of that (more details about how that happened at the end of this post). Ever since discovering this inspirational poster design from here (thanks to my good friend Pinterest) I knew I wanted to adapt it a bit. You know, go wide instead of vertical and have some fun with a few $2 paint samples from Lowe's (total spent on paint: $9 for three pots which I then mixed with white craft paint that I had on hand to create a ton of different tints of the same few hues).
First I used a yardstick to space out equal vertical lines (I just used the width of the yardstick itself to keep things even) which I drew with a pencil:
Then I used the corner of a little card that we got in the mail (from an oil-change place) to create those angled peaks to mimic the prism-like shapes from my inspiration.
Then I just filled each shape in with a variety of shades of blue and green (all derived from the three test pots of paint from Lowe's and some white craft paint to make some of the shapes lighter). As for the specific paint colors, I used testers of Tropical Waters, Embellished Blue, and Thermal Spring by Behr. Here was what I was left with at first:
It was fun and kind of high-energy, but the contrast was a little too much for me. So my foray into painting reminded me why I love painting so much: you can always paint right over it. So I mixed up a much lighter shade of greeny-gray and went over all of the darker green parts for a much more subtle tone-on-tone effect. I ended up here:
I love the imperfect lines and painterly brush strokes and the varied shades of the same few tones. The only thing I don't like is the location. It just doesn't feel right in our bedroom since the walls are a similar shade (and we thought the tone on tone look of the art might layer in nicely but it's feeling a bit too monotone-ish and blah for us). So we're thinking we might hang it in the dining room once we have a nice big buffet or console to go under it near the front entryway. Or it might end up somewhere else entirely. Just not on a soft blue-green wall. I guess I just like tone on tone art that's not also on a wall of that tone. Go figure.
I went into this project expecting it to take an evening or two and it actually took a while longer (maybe four or five two-hour sessions) but in the end I almost didn't want it to end. It's just fun to paint again. Maybe I'll tackle something else soon. I hope so. Have you guys painted any canvases recently? It totally took me back to my high school and college days (I took every art class my high school offered and then went off to art school in NYC for college- where I somehow ended up with a BFA in Advertising Design). Although using the paint pots from Lowe's definitely made me smile since I'm used to paying five million dollars for oil paint (ok, that's an exaggeration, but it wasn't always cheap for a broke college kid).
And speaking of art school, that's where a drawing professor of mine dubbed me "the narrator of life." Apparently I'd just sketch and jabber on about everything as it happened (ex: "oops, I dropped my charcoal" or "now for the foreground" or "yikes, it's noon already"). I sound really annoying right? Thankfully most of it was under my breath. My teacher had to lean in and ask what I was saying, which prompted me to realize that I was actually saying things out loud (I was in the zone, I knew not what I did). That "narrator of life" nickname embarrassed me at the time, but now I find it hilarious that my actual profession is essentially to narrate my life. Who would've thought. Maybe I should hunt down that professor (on Facebook?) and tell him where I ended up. Just don't tell him I used house paint instead of oil paint. Scandalous.

Maybe for your next canvas you can use a couple of these coupons? Just have get your hubby and some buddies. There's also a deal on B Moore's facebook page for a pint of paint or some arborcoat stain (possibly for that new privacy fence?) if you "Like" them. Yay for cheapies!
Nice Sherry – er, Chéri? :) I like the location but I understand your aversion to tone on tone on tone on tone on tone. I took a watercolor class last summer but haven't picked up the brush in awhile. Now I'm inspired to try something like your pinned art so I can play with color layering. Looks like pretty seaglass.
Wow!! It looks amazing. You guys never cease to impress.
"Beret-worthy" – hehe! :-D
Looks great, I love the colors! :-)
I love love LOVE to paint … and the funny thing is I forget how much I love it until I'm in the middle of a project & it's just … bliss.
I'm currently working on a series for the baby room of one of my very best friends & it's so very fun. All in neutrals (browns, beiges, etc), with little pops of baby blue & red-orange. There's one main canvas with a whole scene of cute critters, and the supporting, smaller canvases are different patterns (there's an argyle, a cable-knit, stripes, dots, paisley) … so fun & easily mix & match-able for her :)
Looks great!
So glad you did this post. I've been toying with the idea of doing my own art for awhile now, mostly because the budget is GONE and the walls are bare. But unlike you, I'm no artist. I can copy pretty good though. But my question is how do I start? So I go to Michael's and get a canvas and then what? Do I have to prime it? What about this Gesso or Geeso or something like that stuff that I've heard about? Do I just start painting? Help!
My neighbor actually goes to FIT in NYC, I asked her on facebook if he is still there, but I haven't heard anything back yet!
I learned that i talk to myself when am painting or drawing when i was in high school. Once, some girls in my class 'caught' me in the act and i had no idea i was doing it, i looked at them like they were crazy. Then 5 minutes later, i was talking to myself about how I'm totally not someone who talks to themselves and they caught me again. and i still didn't believe them, it was hilarious. now i know it and accept it.. it keeps the brain moving.
Sherry, this painting is so cool and graphic. I LOVE it! Perfect to use for those sample paint pots, too! I'm always ripping out magazine pages for some recreated art of my own…you've inspired me to get started!! :)
I am officially inspired! We have a big blank space behind the couch that I've been saving for something special. And what's more special than something I make myself, right?
Those colors are actually perfect for our space too ;)
I love the picture and I actually think it looks great just where you put it : )
lookin good :). I don't know if I'd have the patience to paint that! Also, I have some problem where I like everything framed. this would look nice framed. But i am also aware that is a problem of mine and is unnecessary – it looks great as is :)
I love it! Totally works in your space. Great call on lightening the darker green lines. You should definiely do another painting soon. Kudos!
I LOVE that, great work!!!
Love it! I was so excited when I saw "painting" and "canvas" upon opening the page. I've been waiting with great anticipation to see what you do with those, and you certainly didn't disappoint! I wish I could paint, but my creativity lies in the sewing and knitting realm of crafting.
Ok, you finished inspiring me for the day! I am sitting here at my desk trying to work but cannot stop scribbling dress patterns on a blank sheet of paper. Unrelated to this post but seeing your work of art and reading your quilt post from the other day, I am gaining enough confidence to foray into the DIY camp. Thanks more than you know!
To help us non-painter, can you fill in what kind of brushes you used and any other materials information that would cause me to fail at this cool project?? Thanks!!
Water based acrylic paints from Lowe's? Sorry, I'm paint illiterate!
Also, where did the floor lamp in your bedroom come from? I need something like that in my guest room.
awesome sherry!!!!!! I want more painting projects from you! more more!!
LOOOOOVE this! You did a great job! Now I want to paint one… :)
Your post earlier today had me on the hunt for new curtains…now I have to stop at Michael's for canvas and paint!!
Do you have any leftover college paintings stored somewhere? I had fun digging through some up in our attic. I found one of the hubs', put a frame on it, and hung it in our bedroom. It looks great and let's just say he was a little shocked when he came home that day and saw it! :)
Sherry, did you sign and date your painting? I'm sure one day it will be a family treasure to hand down to Clara or the next bean and they'll wonder who/when Ma painted that "sooo early 2000's painting!"
My Grandmother passed last fall and I got one of her paintings, it is my treasure. :-)
I love it!!! Such a good idea!
Sherry, did you extend the colors onto the edges of the canvas, or did you leave them white and paint on the front only? I always feel like when I do something like this it looks frame-less and unfinished. But..when I see them online (like yours) it looks fabulous!
