Dec 1, 2013I cannot recommend buyers to get this game on the PS4.
Not sure if it's the PS Camera or the game itself, however it would swap players constantly, stop tracking altogether, or give me "perfect" scores when I was not moving at all. Im sure Ubisoft meant good with this game, but it feels rushed with the PS4 as there are issues all over the place. Playing the game just by yourself lowers the issue, but whats the point at that end?
Hopefully next year Ubisoft works better with Sony to work these issues out.… Expand
Jan 1, 2014Mixed bag, in one respect the kids like playing it and don't really notice the camera issues with scoring etc, on the other hand they are now bored of trying to get the dam thing to recognise they are standing there to begin with to start the game. No amount of hand waving, jumping up and down seems to work, I would say 70% of the time it fails to pick up the kids when trying to start a game. So now it's not being played as its too much effort to get going, ironically you can see from the heat map picture in game that its picking them up perfectly, but I think they have done a rushed job in the development.… Expand
Dec 22, 2013Entirely defective. I can't get the game to detect a single person. I know it's not the camera because it worked in the playroom. Don't buy this game by any means. And shame on the reviewers for giving a game that entirely fails to function anything other than a zero. If ever there were a greater example of publisher to reviewer payola this would be it.
The person in the corner is a broken mess of pixels that doesn't look remotely human and will score perfects even as it can't detect you.… Expand
Jan 4, 2014Same thing here, it doesn't recognize my daughter, she has to jump on the couch to play. Scoring issues are unforgivable, its not a game if you can do a perfects without even moving. Very disappointing to see them release songs after songs as we are waiting for a serious update.
Jan 11, 2014Don't even know what to say worst possible game i have played yet. Can never get a good score, and not sure if it is the camera or the game that just can't see what i'm doing, I do the move and get a crap score. The older versions of just dance I found way better and not rushed or camera problems such as this one.
Jun 9, 2014This game is fun and all, but overall, it it suckish. Dance Central IS SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER! Too bad there's no PS4 version.
The dance steps are satisfactory and can be performed even by non-dancers like me. However...
2.) A lot of songs must be bought (through DLC). This is unfair! I already paid for the game. So why don't you pretty much include all of the songs?
3.) The recognition SUCKS! You could just stand there and do nothing and still register "PERFECTS"
4.) It needs more songs.… Expand
Aug 11, 2014Basically same problem everyone else is mentioning. You get PERFECT scores without moving...
The auto-created videos are short but funny, that's why I give 1 point.
Mar 3, 2014The one and only PS4 difference – camera-only dancing –intermittently works. Woo. [February 2014, p81]
Dec 16, 2013As long as you have a Move controller in your hand, then Just Dance 2014 deserves your A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E.
Nov 29, 2013Just Dance is a guilty pleasure that few want to admit they are playing, but that everyone is having fun with, so give in to your heart's desires and just… dance.

For those thinking Private Cloud
Our very own Tim Phillips is dragging some clever sorts from the industry and beyond into a studio to talk about building private clouds. They're remit is 'be helpful' and to give us a, 'check list for building a private cloud.' We're hoping by the time they're finished you'll have something of a weighty steer on what it takes …
Where's the checklist?
private cloud as a notion is just bollocks. it's just a normal customer solution.
MS, US gov, Nortel, Canadian gov, etc, etc, etc. hacked.
Anonomous, Lolzsec, Eastern Europe, China, etc, etc, etc. hacking.
The Internet right now is a whitewash!
The words private and cloud should not be put together.
So #1 on the checklist should be, do you care if other people get your info/data, and if the answer is yes then skip the cloud.
Re: Checklist...
Private Cloud checklist
1. Investigate cost of public cloud
2. Panic, as you see your job disappearing
3. Invite HP in
4. Buy HP tin
5. Build private cloud (or regular IIT infra)
6. Stick it behind your under-funded security stack
7. Don't patch
8. Don't pen-test
9. Get coat
Customers who want private cloud are my favourite.

Majority Of US Citizens Are Big Meanies, Want Illegal Aliens Deported
Well, the story doesn't actually call Americans big meanies, yet that will certainly be the viewpoint of people who support amnesty
(Reuters) More than half of U.S. citizens believe that most or all of the country's 11 million illegal immigrants should be deported, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Wednesday that highlights the difficulties facing lawmakers trying to reform the U.S. immigration system.
The online survey shows resistance to easing immigration laws despite the biggest push for reform in Congress since 2007.
Thirty percent of those polled think that most illegal immigrants, with some exceptions, should be deported, while 23 percent believe all illegal immigrants should be deported.
Only 5 percent believe all illegal immigrants should be allowed to stay in the United States legally, and 31 percent want most illegal immigrants to stay.
Put me in the category of deporting most illegals with a few exceptions.And making sure they don't come back.
As the article goes on to point out, American attitudes towards illegals has barely changed since the last amnesty push. Most are against it. It's only the political class that is interested in passing legislation that provides a pathway to citizenship for people who broke our laws and break the law everyday they're here. American citizens seem more interested in The Law than elected officials.

The shop, located in a 2,500-square-foot building just outside the Grand 16 Theatre, opened Nov. 1, with a few surprises after months of extensive renovations to the former vet clinic and anticipation from Lafayette's coffee connoisseurs and caffeine junkies.
Originally, the local owners intended to brew coffee and espresso provided by Baton Rouge-based Community Coffee. Instead, says Manager Nathaniel Johnson, the shop is serving coffee from Orleans Coffee Exchange based in the Crescent City. "Mostly, we wanted to offer something different," says Johnson. "We like that they're a really personal company, and they've worked with us well."
Johnston Street Java not only offers a full line of espresso and brewed coffee drinks including au laits, lattes, cappuccinos and frozen drinks called sucré, all of which can be enhanced with a host of flavors from MONIN (which makes premium natural syrups, and other gourmet and organic flavorings), but also serves hot teas, smoothies, milkshakes, Italian sodas, iced teas and a 24-hour cold brewed iced coffee — including red velvet, southern molasses, maple spice and pancake flavors.
To complement these choices, Nicole Stalnaker, the baker in residence, is turning out standard coffee house fare like homemade scones, biscuits and muffins. Triple chocolate cake, wedding cake, chocolate covered strawberry cake and cheesecake are all sold by the slice; chocolate and yellow cupcakes, and red velvet cupcakes are served sprinkled or sparkling; Oreos and pretzels are covered in chocolate and pressed with fleurs de lis and smiling faces to be devoured as a quick treat. Every week, Stalnaker offers a special "more extravagant" specialty cupcake. A variety of packaged biscotti and bagels are also available.
The shop has free Wi-Fi and a drive-through. It's open Monday-Thursday 6 a.m.-11 p.m.; Friday-Saturday 6 a.m.-12 a.m.; and Sunday 7 a.m.-10 p.m.
NOV 26 Zach Kopplin, who we came to know and love when he was a Louisiana high school student lobbying for the continued inclusion of science stuff in science class, pens this post in The Atlantic about a "textbook" available for social studies instruction in Texas that discusses how Moses contributed to the Constitution. (Oy! Texas rednecks love Jews. Who knew?)
NOV 26 Finally, mad people on the interwebz is a good thing! World wide webby outrage has caused the village of Moreauville to reverse its plan to confiscate pit bulls and Rottweillers and euthanize them simply because of their breed, WAFB reports here. The plan? They're going to enforce the leash law. Well, that would have been a good place to start.
NOV 26 Jim Brown, like many of us Louisiana voters, seems fed up with out of town know-it-alls trying to tell us what to do. Bill Cassidy can't make it through the day without flying someone in to "tell us political retards" how to vote, he says.

NOV 25 Edwin Edwards took off the gloves on Monday, this post on WAFB tells us. At a Press Club appearance, he wondered how his 6th Congressional District opponent, Garret Graves, could be an expert in all the areas in which he claims to be - when he has no college degree in anything. (Five years - FIVE YEARS - in college, but no degree. Huh?)
NOV 25 Blogger Mike Deshotels offers this primer on predatory charter schools and how they operate, specifically in Louisiana. They're not just profiting from our tax dollars, they're using children and shortchanging them to do so, Deshotels says.

Tonight at Village Hall . . .
Densification alert
By Jim Bowman
. . . Spotlight on V-board in action. At issue: Transit Related Retail Overlay District zoning exemptions -- special cases, also known as variances for deviations. Deviant merchants here, what they are permitted as to use of land or use, etc. of buildings or structures.
Are you with this so far?
Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) decides these exceptions, requiring neither incitement -- variance seekers go direct to them -- nor approval by the V-board. These people decide, based on information given (and verified, we presume), and that's it. But the rules of game, the criteria, are set by the uber-board, the trustees.
In any case, cutting to the chase (if I may speak a little trite here), what the trustees accepted last meeting, May 20, about standards etc. for variances, as above) comes before them tonight for a "first reading." They talked it over on May 20 and with a few changes said they liked the ZBA rules change as offered. Now they mean to hear it and maybe discuss it some more, maybe tweaking it for I assume the second reading.
There's a wrinkle, however. Board president Anan Abu-Taleb, recent landslide winner as independent candidate-without-board-experience, has done his thinking before this meeting and has an alternative rules-change proposal:
An alternate Ordinance has . . . been prepared at the request of Village President Abu-Taleb with additional language that provides for an expanded definition [of?] criteria for consideration in determining whether a use should . . . be granted (. . . relative to unusual hardship and reasonable return).
Thus spake (wrote in agenda) Village Planner Craig Faillor. "Expanded" here means less restrictive, apparently in line with Abu-Taleb's repeated campaign references to making it easier to do business in Oak Park.
Planner Faillor recommends expanding -- not of the criteria but of application not just to the transit-related etc. areas but apparently to the whole darn village:
Recommendation: Adopt the Ordinance relative to the Zoning Ordinance text amendments which includes expanding the use variance Standards and Criteria to all areas of the Village. [sic]
Which to be truthful, I don't get. This transit-related category calls for "densification" (I love it), "encouraging denser development." That is, packing more uses in; hence, retail on ground floor, apts. or offices on the upper floors, that sort of thing.
But I doubt if the planner wants to densify the whole village. I can see it now: Protestors flocking to meetings with signs, "We don't want to densify!" Or "Go densify yourselves, you dumb trustees!"
No, this blog may be an inexpert, if well-intentioned, interpreter; but it's going on record here: The planner does not want to densify the whole damn village! Take it to the bank! (trite)
Finally, to get a flavor of what planners and their departments do, consider this list of establishments which "shall not be located at grade level or on the ground floor of any building or structure unless located at least 50 feet from any street line":
Family residential-care home;
Foster home;
Group residential-care homes;
Animal clinics without an open kennel;
General office, including real estate offices and medical and dental clinics;
Beauty supply;
Catering service;
Day-care center;
Medical and orthopedic appliance store;
Weight-loss clinic;
Employment agency;
Studio (artist, photography, recording);
Adult day-care facility;
Post high-school education or instructional institution, public or private.
Schools, public or private;
Banquet, exhibition and meeting halls, public.
Single-family residential;
Multiple-family residential;
Accessory buildings and structures;
Community Buildings;
Non-Village of Oak Park government owned or operated services;
And then think whether you want (a) to be a village planner or (b) a trustee who has to think about such details.

A show to remember : (From left) MyCEB general manager of marketing, corporate & communications Intan Hyriatee Mohd Zawai, Nagamaiah, Juhari, Connois seurs Lifestyle Sdn Bhd executive director Ong Han Vi, Lee, Wong, Kudsia and YTL Hotel public relations director Aja Ng during the launch of Jersey Boys at KLGCC in Mont Kiara.
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysians can be assured of a good, clean show in the musical Jersey Boys despite its Broadway version being known for its profanities.
The internationally acclaimed show, about the true story of American hitmakers Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, will be staged at Istana Budaya Auditorium from April 15 to April 27.
Despite removing profanity from the script, the show would not lose its appeal, organiser Milestone Production managing director Grace Lee said.
"The emotions, elements and the gist of the story will be retained. The scenes, sets, sounds and lighting will be exactly the same as New York," she said.
Children as young as seven years could watch it, she added.
RedFM chief operations officer Kudsia Kahar, who was also present at the press conference, quipped: "It's good that they are keeping it as an entertainment that the younger generation can enjoy. There'll be no angry parents."
Jersey Boys in Malaysia is supported by Malaysian Convention & Exhibition Bureau (MyCEB) and Tourism Malaysia under the Tourism and Culture Ministry. Star Publications (M) Bhd is the Gold Sponsor with RedFM as the official radio station.
Also present were Istana Budaya director-general Datuk Mohamed Juhari Shaarani and Star Publications group chief editor June H.L. Wong.
Malaysia will be the only country in South-East Asia that is presenting the smash hit musical this year, said Tony Nagamaiah, the general manager of Malaysia Major Events, a division of MyCEB.
"Events like this will help us brand ourselves as an entertainment hub of the region," he said, adding that it would also boost Visit Malaysia Year 2014.
The show is also expected to draw international tourists and generate RM20mil in tourist expenditure, he added.
Opened in Broadway in 2005, Jersey Boys, which traces four Italian Americans' rise to pop stardom, went on to become one of the longest-running shows on Broadway.
It has been watched by 18 million people worldwide.
It features hits by Valli and The Four Seasons such as Can't Take My Eyes Off You, December 1963 (Oh What A Night), Sherry and Big Girls Don't Cry.
Tickets are priced between RM200 and RM680.

Liberal Fascism: The Font
In a way, Helvetica is the font of liberal fascism; it's certainly the font of corporatism. To this day, it's on the side of every one of the airplanes owned by American Airlines, a private corporation. But it's also the font of the New York Subway system, both the work of Italian designer Massimo Vignelli, now in his late '70s, and interviewed in the Helvetica film. And since Amtrak's inception via Congress and President Nixon in 1971, the typeface on sides of its cars and locomotives is Helvetica as well. Helvetica symbolizes order and authority, but to borrow from one of the concluding memes of Jonah Goldberg's Liberal Fascism, it's the softer authoritarian nanny state of Brave New World, not the oppressiveness militarism of 1984. And it's the font of IRS's tax forms:
But one of the dangers of Starting from Zero is staying there permanently. In addition to the aforementioned institutions, public and private, the Helvetica film also documents designers who are still using (albeit often ironically) a 50 year old font, in much the same way that architects, interior designers and commercial photographers are still using Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona Chair 80 years after Mies designed it. The Bauhaus banished the past, but in a sense, they freeze-dried the future as well.
Like Helvetica, it's a good thing their best efforts still hold up pretty well. "Timeless" Modernism would look pretty antiquated, otherwise.
Read the rest, and watch arguably the definitive clip from the movie Helvetica, at Ed Driscoll.com.

Reasonable facility for business locationPosted Oct 30, 2014
Pros: Bed was comfortable and room quite large by UK standards. Quite comfortable for business. Gym facilities Excellent.
Cons: Attention to food would be suggested as food is everything when location and functionality is limited. Food was a little tired and limited
Comfortable rooms and obviously a business conference target market. It is a little tired and some of the facilities were not working properly (toilets).. it is priced to be busy and not special and I found it reasonable for the price you paid.

needs updatingPosted Oct 7, 2014
Cons: management, thats were it starts.
Location: location is great, straight of the m56, perfect.
the hotel rooms need a facelift, we had cobwebs on the curtains and on the light fittings, also the bathroom had not been cleaned to a good standard, it just needs someone to check out the rooms once they are cleaned.

Outside of the hotel looks betterPosted Sep 28, 2014
The inside doesn't live upto the exterior or the pics on expedia. When you approach the main entrance you think its going to be a lovely hotel but its actually very average and in need of refurbishment. Staff are v efficient though and the gym is well equipped.

Nice hotel in good location to RuncornPosted Sep 2, 2014
Having used this hotel before I knew the facilities on offer. They meet our needs for our short stay visits, the location is good for where we need to visit too. The reception staff could be friendlier at times and more welcoming to visitors as they are first point of contact.

Good hotel for the prcePosted Aug 29, 2014 on Hotels.com
Got bed and breakfast for a great price all in so was very good value. This used to be an up market DeVere hotel that is now owned by Britannia. The room was quite old and the TV small with just a few channels but for the price of the room this was fine especially as the bathroom was well appointed. The breakfast was OK and the service was very good. Lots of OAP coach parties stay overnight here which pretty much says it all.

"I needed an emergency, special present for my recently widowed almost 90 year old Mom. I called local stores, malls, jewelers, photographers, etc. and all told me 4 - 6 weeks, even 4 - 8 weeks, despite my urgency. A very kind sales clerk gave me this website(I am sure her boss is thrilled!) The color engraved heart with my Mom's favorite photo of my parents is exquisite. Daniel promised me, through my worries, that he would get it to me on time and IT ARRIVED EARLY!! Thanks for your wonderful product and terrific service. Despite my Mom's sadness, I am sure this special remembrance will help her. Thank you again."

Product Information
June 01, 2007
$39.95 for one license
- Features:
- Ease of Use:
- Performance:
- Documentation:
- Support:
- Value for Money:
- Overall Rating:
- Strengths: This product includes protection on all fronts, including internet, email and documents.
- Weaknesses: None we could find.
- Verdict: Priced a bit lower this would have been a strong contender for our Recommended award. As it is, NOD32 is an extremely strong product with a lot of features.
This product contains several pieces that integrate very well. When combined, it covers protection from viruses, worms, spyware and other malicious attacks. The pieces include anti-virus monitor, email monitor, document monitor and internet monitor. The monitors are delegated to serve their specific purpose; therefore, protection is complete and no one monitor is overburdened. The monitors work nicely together to proactively protect the computers. Another component of the system is the NOD Scanner. The NOD Scanner is an on-demand scanner that can be controlled from the console to scan systems on a schedule or on-demand.
The NOD32 system, though powerful and feature-packed, is easy to use and intuitive to deploy. The installation was quick and consisted of just a few small executable files. Once installed, we went to the console and deployed clients with no difficulty. We were then able to update the clients and run scans easily. The console itself is well organized, simple and intuitive.
The appearance of the many monitors and scanners might lead one to think that the application would be heavy and slow the clients down. However, this is not the case. The client application is lightweight and consumes only about 23MB of memory. Also, the product constantly monitors every facet of possible infection. This product shines for sure.
Documentation provided with this product comes in a small installation and configuration guide. The guide nicely details the initial installation and configuration of the product. With clear step-by-step instructions and many screen shots to guide the way, getting this product running is an easy task. There are also administration guides available on the vendor website to augment the installation guide. We found the documentation to be helpful and well organized.
ESET offers a lot of support on their website. This includes telephone support, downloads, documentation, FAQs, forums and updates.
This product is a good investment for almost any size environment. Though the price is a little high, it is balanced by the many areas of protection offered, as well as its high ease of use and management.

I was wondering how owners of this T keep it , I also am getting Ceratogyrus darlingi .
I got a female chilobrachys sai yok right now & other
Does anyone else use delis with special lids? I use 32 oz for 3/4"+ arboreals and fossoreals and 16 oz for 1"+ terrestrials.
Is there any good way to tell what instar a T is in if no records were kept?Yesterday, 09:38 PM by TheHonestPirate
As it's too cold in Wisconsin this time of year I'm spending the winter working on the new Herp/T room getting ready for my spring splurge.
My pinktoe looks nothing like that.
I'm assuming they meant Avic. avic. when they said "Pink Toe" after reading their other post. So in that case, that Avic in the linked picture
While not lethal, they can cause acute agony.
Damned kitten chasing one paused on the top step of the staircase directly under my foot. Didn't squash
'Pinktoe' tarantula refers to the genus 'Avicularia', there are tons of different 'pinktoe' species though. Look up A. versicolor for example,
haha thats probably the coolest thing i've ever heard =) an unintentional defense strategy!
another quick question. What type of enclosure
I don't think possums intentionally play dead either, if I remember correctly, they faint.
From what I know these are the distinctive Avic slings.

Is it possible to be fascinated by an issue and yet tired of it at the same time? If so, then micropayments for online news pretty much fits that bill for me. I know that it's a crucial time for the newspaper business (which pays my salary), and I know that many thoughtful and intelligent people believe that micropayments are the answer to the industry's woes — including former news executive Alan Mutter, who blogs at Reflections of a Newsosaur, and whose recent argument about paying for things I took on in this post. But there has been an awful lot of talk about the issue over the past few weeks and months, including some excellent pieces by Clay Shirky and others (I've collected a list of the major ones at my personal blog if you're interested).
And still the debate continues. The Freakonomics blog at the New York Times is the latest to throw its rhetorical hat into this particular ring, which seems fitting given the authors' focus on the conjunction of economics and society. Both Alan Mutter and Clay Shirky show up in this forum as well, making similar arguments — the former in favour of micropayments, which he says will overcome the "Original Sin" of giving content away for free online, adding that readers wouldn't mind being nickel-and-dimed "if the content were sufficiently unique and compelling."
Shirky, meanwhile, argues that:
Online, small payments only work when the collector of those payments has end-to-end control of delivery, generally by controlling the hardware or software the user has access to. (This is true of all metered billing, in fact.)
and adds:
The fantasy that small payments will save publishers as they move online is really a fantasy that monopoly pricing power can be re-established over we users. Invoking the magic word "micropayments" is thus grabbing the wrong end of the stick; if online publishers had that kind of pricing power, micropayments wouldn't be necessary. And since they don't have that pricing power, micropayments won't provide it.
Sharing of content is the key to much of what users (or readers) do online, Shirky argues, and blocking content off destroys that relationship, and arguably makes the content less valuable rather than more. And without monopoly control or a giant cartel, there is simply no way to wall off all of the content — someone will inevitably provide something similar (i.e. close enough) for free and make it sharable. MIT information technology professor Marshall Van Alstyne concurs, saying that micropayments would be like "putting tollbooths on an open ocean." He says that journalism can be supported by charging based on the platform (i.e., the Kindle), and charging for enhanced value of some kind (different versions, or more processed information, such as that offered by Bloomberg).
William Baker, an executive-in-residence at Columbia University who is looking at new business models, says that he sees journalism being supported by a mix of almost all the possible sources that people have mentioned: micropayments, donations or charitable foundations, advertising and subscriptions. Meanwhile in the comments, readers suggest some additional ideas: One recommends a process by which interested readers buy "shares" in a newspaper, which then funds the journalism and collects donations for it — with any surplus returned to the shareholders. Another suggests that advertisers could support the news directly by offering free subscriptions to readers in return for having them click on an ad (as Salon does).
Will any of these solutions make the difference in an industry whose old business model is being disrupted by a new medium, and may never be the same? Will someone try to put tollbooths on the ocean and actually make it work? Or will we still be having these arguments 10 years from now? I wish I knew.

Kitchen Renovations host Paul Ryan gives tips on how to keep a stainless-steel kitchen sink looking new.
More in Kitchen
Many people love stainless-steel sinks for their low maintenance, but even these workhouses benefit from an occasional buffing up. Here are some ways to keep a stainless-steel kitchen sink looking brand new.
Use a cleanser made specifically for metal. Dampen a soft cloth and sprinkle some of the cleanser on it. Rub the stainless steel with the grain. After going over the entire sink with the cleanser, rinse off the excess.
For deeper scratches, use a 220-grit wet/dry sandpaper. Pour some vegetable oil onto the sandpaper, and then rub the sink with the grain.
After polishing the sink, give it a coat of automotive wax, which will make it shine and help protect it from future scratching.

Lafayette's fledgling mobile food vendor scene is about to get rolling. By Nancy DeVille
Photos by Robin May
Our "cool town" is long overdue for its own food truck revolution, but many local residents seem surprisingly unaware of the momentum this movement has gained in the rest of the country, even our own state, and the potential economic growth it can offer our city.
Lafayette entrepreneur Shannon Wilkerson is an exception. Best known around Lafayette as a bar owner, Wilkerson opened his own food truck — Taco Mama — last November, selling authentic Mexican fare in a lot on Johnston Street across from The Boulevard. Taco Mama still works the location on Saturdays, but on Monday, June 6, the truck set up shop in a small lot on the 500 block of Jefferson Street downtown, just a few doors down from The Independent Weekly's office, where it will serve customers Monday through Friday.
Wilkerson got the idea while honeymooning several years ago in San Diego, where food trucks are abundant. He says by this fall he will have three trucks — Taco Mama, a plate lunch truck cleverly named The Rolling Stove, and a truck associated with his flagship bar The Bulldog — operating in Lafayette.
"The cool thing about these things, what was so encouraging to me about doing this, is if I bring a truck and I set it up to do a plate lunch location and that menu isn't working out, I can just change the menu," Wilkerson says. "It's not like a regular restaurant. What's also cool about these things is if a location you're at really isn't working out, just move it across town and take it some place else. So, they're very versatile in that way."
While new to Lafayette, mobile food vendors (MFVs) have been around in the U.S. for quite some time, but the new generation of gourmet MFVs is a far cry from the sandwich trucks and lunch wagons of the '60s and '70s.
Today, one can reasonably expect to purchase fine foods from the side of a retrofitted food truck or trailer that rival the best restaurants, and for a fraction of the cost of a comparable dish. This phenomenon is an opportunity for cooks looking to flex their culinary muscle in a different arena than the traditional brick-and-mortar restaurant.
Take, for example, the city of Los Angeles, widely recognized as the birthplace of the current food truck craze, where Culinary Institute of the Arts-trained chef Roy Choi earned himself the title of Best New Chef 2010 by Food & Wine magazine after two years of selling his distinctive Korean-style gourmet tacos from his Kogi truck. Approximately 4,000 licensed food trucks now cruise the streets of L.A., of which 115 are considered gourmet. Over in Austin, Texas, at least 1,000 MFVs, traditional and gourmet, regularly provide sustenance at the city's countless festivals. Even food carts have come a long way from their original circa-1936 ancestor, Oscar Meyer's first portable hotdog cart — the Weiner Mobile. Portland, Ore., is now home to nearly 500 carts, dotting the cityscape with various "pods" as noted by Heather Shouse, author of Food Trucks. These pods exemplify a spirit of teamwork in which carts band together to create dining destinations in the most unexpected of places. Pat Marken, co-owner of Euphoria and 712 Designs in Lafayette, along with partner Tausha Lell will soon be bringing Cajun soul food, via the Ragin' Cajun Gumbo trailer, to Portland's scene, as soon as they find a buyer for their local store. (Yes, Euphoria is still very much open for business.)
New Orleans' food truck scene was born in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, when loads of taco trucks sprang up to nourish the many Hispanic construction workers who streamed in to rebuild the city. A year later, Nathaniel Zimet set out to revolutionize the offerings of New Orleans street fare. Trained at Le Cordon Bleu, this chef and former North Carolinian describes New Orleans pre-Katrina as "a place where the cuisine was very stagnant." His proposed solution? The now beloved purple truck — The Que Crawl — which has been serving gourmet barbecue, or "fine dining for the people," for nearly five years. To say his concept was embraced by the locals would be an understatement. (Zimet was recently the target of a random act of violence, surviving three gunshots outside his residence around 5:30 a.m. Sunday, May 22.)
While difficult to estimate the current number of MFVs in New Orleans, we can easily tally the 10 that have acquired licenses in Baton Rouge since the end of 2009: Curbside (burgers), Go-Ya-Ya's (crêpes), Kickers BBQ, Latte e Miele (gelato), Ninja Snowballs, Taco de Paco, All Star Catering (Louisiana specialties), Salivation Station (wraps and sandwiches), Three Bones Catering (Cajun) and A Coffee Truck. Of this assemblage, at least six meet up twice a week for the aptly named "Rolling Food Court" on Tuesdays at lunchtime outside the State Capitol, as well as the "BRWroundUp" on Wednesdays around dinner time at various local businesses around town. More businesses are looking to host the WroundUp, with attendance growing weekly as the collection of trucks offers greater variety than the average dining destination, and the resulting community gatherings strengthen the society both economically and socially.
So if residents of New Orleans, our food capital, and Baton Rouge, our state capital, have each cultivated unique MFV scenes, I think it would be fair to assume residents of Lafayette are capable of doing the same.
I can even offer hard evidence as to why our city is ideal for this street food culture. First, Lafayette was ranked 17th in the nation for best places to open a new restaurant, according to Restaurant Business' annual Restaurant Growth Index report for 2011. Second, Lafayette not only outranked New Orleans by six places overall, but we also surpassed the de facto state food capital in restaurant sales as a percentage of per capita income; Lafayette residents are willing to spend almost $1 more out of every $100 we earn on dining out than New Orleans residents.
Food trucks are the increasingly preferred medium for those looking to grab their slice of that dining-out-pie, as the advantages over opening a brick-and-mortar restaurant are plentiful. The National Restaurant Association noted this shift in its "What's Hot" survey in which food trucks were ranked the No. 1 hot trend for 2011, so it's no surprise that in Austin, for example, eight out of 10 new food service operations are mobile. The necessary capital to get up and running is considerably lower for an MFV, as is the overhead since there's no need to pay for a wait staff or busboys. The average cost to open the doors of a traditional restaurant is close to $400,000; food trucks can be adequately equipped and open for business for around $30,000. Euphoria's Marken has budgeted and expects to spend around $25,000 to get her 15-foot trailer up to code for use in Portland.
Wilkerson, who buys used delivery trucks and retrofits them into mobile kitchens, pegs the start-up cost at $50,000.
Of course, the cost can be drastically higher depending on customization. A brand new truck with all new equipment can cost you as much as $100,000 (just ask the owners of the state-of-the-art Viva La Waffle truck once it hits the streets of Lafayette any day now), but a second-hand pushcart can cost you as little as $5,000. Total investment is really up to you, but is markedly lower across the board than a fixed-location restaurant.
Speaking of fixed-locations, an obvious advantage for a truck is no doubt its mobility. Whereas the old adage "location, location, location" is ever so critical for restaurant owners, an MFV has the inherent advantage of being able to spontaneously change its location in response to business, or lack thereof. You can go straight to your customers, or use Facebook, Twitter, and/or Foursquare to guide them to you. In other cities, the hunt becomes part of the adventure for fans and heightens their sense of enjoyment.
Viva La Waffle owner Collin Cormier is one such entrepreneur whose Facebook page currently boasts more than 300 "Likes," despite having yet to sell a single waffle sandwich. While a truck's mobility is its strongest competitive advantage, it should be noted, however, that the majority of successful MFVs find they spend most of their time in a few regular locations.
Furthermore, truck owners insist that despite their ability to change locations at any moment, they are still committed to their community. Viva La Waffle's owners say they plan to source as much product locally as possible. If Lafayette's coming truck owners make the same commitment to support local farmers/producers, these producers can grow their businesses and start supplying more of our existing restaurants. But for this goal to be accomplished, there must be open lines of communication between both sides and new regulations that establish boundaries for all.
Baton Rouge and New Orleans are perfect illustrations of the dangers of unregulated growth. For those who tried to play by the rules by obtaining required permits from the city of New Orleans (where many MFVs operate willfully outside local regulation), there were still reports of local police issuing tickets for parking and city code violations, prompting many to throw in the towel and avoid the hassle of dealing with a city council that proved ill-equipped to offer any clarification of the laws. Highlighting a missed opportunity for both the business owner and the city's economy, one such New Orleans truck owner says, "The city basically made me fire 18 people. I don't pay no more sales tax to the city from those trucks now. Why do they make it so complicated? I don't know." This is exactly the kind of situation in the future that we must start working to avoid now.
Baton Rouge truck owners responded to this need for guided regulation following a dispute last summer stemming from an outcry by existing restaurants in the city worried the trucks' mobility was an unfair competitive advantage, especially when there is little regulation as to how close a truck can park next to an established eatery. Noticing the lack of clarity in legislation, Taco de Paco's John Snow and others teamed up to form the Baton Rouge Mobile Food Vendor Association.
Because Lafayette is barely on the cusp of this movement, now is the perfect time to start a dialogue between Lafayette Consolidated Government and aspiring business owners. Cormier, Lafayette's second official truck owner along with business partner Fred Nonato, has no doubts that our city is ready for its own food truck scene, but he recognizes our need for new legislation: "I think Lafayette is going to embrace it wholeheartedly," he says. "But we should really start regulating it now."
Wilkerson agrees, saying he believes forming an MFV association in Lafayette will head off problems at the pass; the Lafayette Mobile Vendors Association, he adds, is being formed right now. "Eventually issues are going to surface," he says. "As this continues to grow in this area, I believe this is going to bring problems and issues that will need to be addressed. And it's going to be really helpful if all the operators are on the same page."
Some of Cormier's specific concerns regard an ordinance passed in 2005 stipulating that any food vendor permitted to sell in the Central Business District (i.e. Jefferson Street downtown) cannot be motorized and must be capable of being pushed by one person. This ordinance also bans the sale of any food outside the hours of 7 a.m. to midnight, leaving but a miniscule window for truck owners to fill the niche for late-night downtown dining.
"I don't think the pushcart ordinance really applies here," says Dee Stanley, LCG's chief administrative officer. "It certainly doesn't regulate a truck because that's not a vehicle being pushed by one person. So there would need to be legislation or local ordinance that would be specific to this type of vendor."
City-Parish President Joey Durel echoes this sentiment by advising new truck owners to "be proactive and work with the local government
Baton Rouge sports nearly a dozen mobile food vendors, including these four, which gathered in a shopping center parking lot last week for an event called the "BRWroundUp."
to set regulations that would keep the abusive businesses out, or at least make them play by the same rules." By abusive businesses, Durel refers to a truck being parked directly outside a brick-and-mortar restaurant selling the exact same or similar product. (The ordinance was drafted in response to complaints about the hamburger trailer once operated in a downtown lot by "Frankie" Yaghobi, who has since moved into a fixed location on Jefferson Street.)
But Wilkerson has little but praise for local government when it comes to permitting. "If you just do what they need you to do and follow the regulations, they're very helpful," he says.
There is a "delicate balance" that must be maintained, Stanley continues, and we must "respect the viable businesses we have, not only downtown but everywhere [in the city]." There is a way for both types of businesses to coexist, but a mutually beneficial solution will only be found if we start a dialogue between both sides now, which is why Cormier has already been seeking advice from members of the Baton Rouge MFV Association. He cites Portland as a great example of a city that has embraced the movement and regulated it properly from the start, and now the city benefits from tax revenue from many previously abandoned parking lots that are transformed into various sorts of prepared-foods farmer's markets. Stanley agrees that forming our own MFV association will be a key element for the food truck scene's growth here in Lafayette: "There is certainly strength in numbers and there's an ability to convey information and education in a meaningful way," he says.
We all stand to benefit from the development of this food truck scene, from the top down. The city stands to gain additional sales tax revenue, new entrepreneurs stand to gain independence and financial success, existing restaurants stand to gain renewed motivation to strive for greatness (or a truck of their own), local farmers stand to gain exponentially greater awareness and support, and we, at the very bottom, stand to gain an appetizing array of new, exciting food choices. Local businesses will, by extension, benefit from weekly gatherings of trucks such as in Baton Rouge. Currently unused, but privately owned parking lots around town will generate income for their owners as trucks rent space. It's a win-win situation, all around, assuming we start off on the right foot with appropriate regulation. Our city is an ideal community capable of sustaining a unique street food culture, mutually supporting our existing local businesses and generating new income for the city as a whole. So what are you all waiting for? Freetown Fries is coming soon, and I personally know of many others of you who have mentioned a desire to start your own truck.
Best known as a Lafayette bar owner, Shannon Wilkerson, right,
Marken's advice to the rest of you? "Instead of just waiting around to see who's gonna do it, you know: 'Should I?' Just do it!"
(An unrepentant foodie, Lafayette's Nancy DeVille spent nine years in the restaurant industry in Baton Rouge, most recently serving as chef de cuisine at Juban's Creole Restaurant under executive chef Terry McDonner. The LSU alumna also boasts of having spent four months eating her way across France and
western Europe.)
Question: What do I need before I can start operating as an MFV in Lafayette?
Answer: You will need a state sales tax identification number, as well as a federal employer ID number. Also required: certification from the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals. Modern MFVs are subject to the same strict health code regulations as brick-and-mortar restaurants. Trucks/trailers must pass a full, physical inspection by the state's health department before the permit is issued. You must also have a commissary kitchen, which serves as your headquarters for major food preparation, storage, etc.
Operators will also need to acquire a food vendor permit/peddler's license from Lafayette Consolidated Government.
According to Andrew Duhon of the special permitting section of revenue collections for LCG, the only requirement from the city for MFVs is a vendor permit. Viva La Waffle owner Collin Cormier, however, only cites having to obtain a peddler's license for his Viva La Waffle truck, from the parish permitting office.
Either way, this permit/license can only be obtained after receiving certification from the state Department of Health.
While the process appears somewhat ambiguous for now, it's still manageable to obtain all necessary permits and licenses, and our state and local governments are becoming better versed in the process every day. Cormier notes that when he initially contacted the Health Department in October 2010 with questions about requirements, they were unclear as to how to guide him. When he called back six months later, the same officials were able to answer his questions in far greater detail. Besides that, Taco Mama has been serving the city for several months now, so the bureaucratic wheels are already greased.
Question: Where can I park?
Answer: Because of several, dare I say, outdated ordinances currently in effect, truck owners will be limited to selling their food from the locations specified in their permits or from privately owned parking lots, with permission from the owner, of course. This is why Taco Mama is in its current location on Johnston, and why you can expect to find Cormier's Viva La Waffle truck in either the abandoned lot behind Burger King on campus or the various Tsunami-owned lots downtown. As more trucks hit the streets, and the budding Lafayette Mobile Food Vendor Association grows in members, we can expect to have a voice in creating new ordinances that will facilitate the mobility of our trucks. — ND
"I am only getting a little nervous about two projects — the proposed Sasol GTL facility [not the new ethylene plant] and the proposed G2X facility — both in Lake Charles. They need a hefty difference between oil and natural gas prices to make sense."
Abysmally low participation by the public has prompted the council to scuttle the 2014 survey with plans to simplify it and try again next year.
The village now says the ordinance will likely be overturned and authorities will more vigorously enforce existing leash laws.
Lower oil prices also might slow the growth of oil production in parts of the U.S., Canada and elsewhere because it will no longer be so profitable.
