NEW ORLEANS - Louisiana is sending out a desperate message: If the United
States doesn't do something soon to stop coastal erosion, 40 percent of its
wetlands will wash away, oil prices will rise and the Cajun swamps will
That plea is part of an intensive awareness campaign that repackages the state's
marshy Mississippi River Delta as "America's Wetland" and explains why it's in
the nation's interest to spend $14 billion to save it.
Coastal environmentalists and scientists have been warning for years that
Louisiana is experiencing an unfolding catastrophe from the loss of 24 square
miles of coast a year and more than 1,900 square miles since 1932.
What's new about the "America's Wetland" push is that it links the demise of
Louisiana's wetlands directly to oil and the national economy. And the attempt
to get as much as $14 billion in federal restoration money comes at time when
the Bush administration is taking a favorable stance on domestic oil production.
"The coast is really about money, aside from the ecological value of it," said
outgoing Republican Gov. Mike Foster, who launched the effort last fall.
Already, the Shell Oil Co.-backed $3 million campaign — "America's Wetland: The
Campaign to Save Coastal Louisiana" — has picked up steam. Some Tabasco hot
sauce bottles now carry its logo, and the Louisiana Legislature is talking about
changing the slogan on the state license plate from "Sportsman's Paradise" to
"America's Wetland."
The campaign makes the case that coastal erosion has threatened the network of
oil and natural gas rigs, pipelines and refineries throughout south Louisiana.
And, the argument goes, oil prices would go up if south Louisiana disappears
under rising seas and hurricanes. Add to that the loss of Louisiana's ports, its
fisheries that supply 30 percent of the nation's catch and the threat of New
Orleans getting flooded by a major hurricane.
It's taken a while, but Louisianians are starting to agree that coastal erosion
is right up there on the list of woes to tackle in this struggling state, from
rampant illiteracy to crippling cronyism.
"A lot of people, like myself, are saying that unless we do something in the
next five years, then we'd better just start moving out," said Len Bahr, the
governor's executive assistant in charge of coastal activities.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the lead agency in restoring the vast wetlands
of Louisiana, is laying out a comprehensive restoration plan, and a draft of the
report is due for public review by October. The goal is to submit a final report
by 2004 to Congress, said Troy Constance of the Corps of Engineers.
Meanwhile, Louisiana lawmakers are discussing 44 new bills concerning wetlands
"By far the biggest theme in all these bills is to limit the state's liability
in coastal restoration projects — basically to protect itself from being sued
out of the coastal restoration business," said Rex Caffey, a coastal and wetland
resources specialist with the Louisiana State University AgCenter.
In addition to trying to raise the awareness of Louisiana's wetlands to the same
level of the Chesapeake Bay and Florida Everglades, Foster's campaign also seeks
to dispel the stereotype of south Louisiana as a corrupt and useless
alligator-infested backwater.
"Our job is really now to convince the federal government," Foster said. "I
think we're coming along on the image of Louisiana as a state that is run
properly and fiscally run properly."
What Louisiana has going for it is that it's a "working coast," Bahr said.
"We're not a pristine coast to be looked at," he said. "It's essential to work
with the Bush administration because it understands natural gas and oil issues."

Tyreke Evans: The trade that never was
Tyreke Evans (concussion) won't play tonight for the Sacramento Kings, but his team's meeting with the Boston Celtics is still a reason to look back on what could have been.
Before this season, there were trade rumors surrounding the Celtics moving a package headlined by Ray Allen or Rajon Rondo for a top-five pick and the right to draft Tyreke. Evans, who at the time had just completed an up-and-down season for the Memphis Tigers, was a Danny Ainge favorite. Ainge had apparently already seen the qualities Evans has since revealed during a rookie campaign that has taken the NBA by storm, establishing Evans as a future star.
NESN's Evans Clinchy looked at the trade that never was, concluding that sometimes the best trades are the ones that were never made. To Clinchy, both the Celtics and Kings benefited from failing to pull the trigger on the trade: The Celtics have a better chance to win now, and the Kings have a superstar for the future.
But is it that simple?
I think bringing Evans in would have disrupted the present, and given the Celtics less of a chance to win now. In the future, though, Evans would have been one hell of a piece to build around.
In the end, it all comes down to whether the Celtics win a championship. If they do, it's obviously worth keeping the core and sacrificing the future. But if they don't win another championship with the current nucleus, a backcourt of Rajon Rondo and Tyreke Evans would have been a damn good place to start the rebuilding process. That is, if the two players who both like the ball in their hands didn't spontaneously self-combust.
I like the Celtics right now. I really do. But the thought of Tyreke Evans playing in Celtics Green — as impossible as it is now — is still intriguing, especially as he chugs along to a 20-5-5 Rookie of the Year season.

Berkeley: Flavah Island Cafe - Jamaican breakfast, spinners, patties, festival and garlic shrimp with basil tomato concasse
- rworange Sep 26, 2009 03:59 PM
Jamaican Soul is gone and so is the funk. The restaurant has a cleaner, more contemporary look. The tables all match, the floor was redone and there is no rotating art show,only the brick walls.
Flavah Island is now in that spot next to Local 123. On Sunday they will be starting breakfast with a few standard low-priced American breakfast items such as
$2.99 - Pancake stax - four pancakes topped with fresh berries and a choice of chicken basil sausage or turkey bacon
The menu also says "Daily choice of Jaimaican breakfast favorites (prices vary)"
I'll post the menu in the first reply
While there are still some steam table items, gone is the pick and choose buffet of Jamaican Soul.
Today I had the curried goat and a ginger beer
The non-carbonated ginger beer was very good with nice ginger flavor and burn.
The goat curry was lively with spice. There were beef stew sized pieces of bone-in goat. It came with four slices of standard fried plantains, a carrot cabbage slaw dressed with oil and some tasty beans and rice which they top with a green sauce if you would like. While there was a liberal use of oil, it was a tasty lunch. My lips are tingly and my tongue is still warm with spice.
I caught a glimpse of the Jamaican patties that someone ordered. They looked good.
The menu says that spinners are traditional Jamaican dumplings. They are served with the braised oxtail.
They said they are under new management but I got a little lost as to what that meant. If there were new owners or just a new direction.

I was tempted by the jerked chicken (saw some lovely spice-covered whole chickens that they'd just put on the grill), but ended up ordering the braised oxtail. It was excellent. Really flavorful (but not spicy at all, unlike many of the other offerings) and fall-off-the-bone tender. A decent-sized, but not huge portion. The sides (plantains, salad, rice and beans) were all fine, but the rice and beans were particularly tasty. Comfort food.
I liked this rendition much better than a similar oxtail dish I had at DeClancy's back when it was open. A satisfying dinner for just $8.95.
The menu description says the dish comes with spinners (Jamaican dumplings), but I didn't notice any in the dish. When I asked the chef/owner about it, he said that some people had complained that they didn't like them, so he took them out of the dish. He said that they're kind of like the dumplings you get in chicken and dumplings, and soak up all the flavor from the braising liquid. I told him I thought that sounded great. "Well, Americans don't seem to like them," he said. Maybe if a few more people ask for them, he'll bring them back? Seemed like a nice fellow.
As rworange mentioned, the house-made ginger beer is really good--the first non-carbonated version of the drink I've tried, but it almost tastes like it's carbonated because it has such a kick. Very strong, but pleasantly so, not too overpowering. I would go back just to drink this.
Definitely want to give the jerk chicken a try too.
Anyone tried the breakfast yet? I always pass by fairly early in the morning and see that it's open, but I've never seen anyone eating in there.

re: abstractpoet
Sounds great."The spinners" (and not the 70's musical group)are the best part of Jamaican dishes from your braised oxtail to Ital veg stews.Simply prepared and delicious.Hope the chef/owner puts them back on the menu.Go Yardie.
re: abstractpoet
I needed to go out early this morning so I stopped by and got the $2.99 breakfast - 2 eggs any style, potatoes or grits, chicken basil sausage or turkey bacon, slice of Texas toast.
While waiting I had a glass of sorrel which was nice, very gingery. With Jamaican joints I've never had carbonated ginger beer, it is always non-carbonated.
Anyway, looking closer at the menu, I noticed the Jamaican breakfast option after the fact. I asked about that. He said he was planning to start that on Sunday. He is also adding Jamaican soups to the menu next Friday. Seems like the prices which seem reasonable are a little high for the local Jamaicans, so he is adding the soup so they can have a low cost filling meal.
The Jamaican breakfast will have greens, fish, festivals and mashed plaintans. It seems he was really into plaintains today. He talked lovingly about how the juices of the other items mix with the mashed plaintains and it was so good.
Ackee and Salt cod will be available. He said that Jaimacan breakfasts are not as protein packed as American breakfast. One other breakfast dish he mentioned was pickled mackarel. That's a new one to me. He talked a little about how the food evolved from when Jamaicans were slaves and how they made delicious food out of very little.
Anyway, as to the breakfast, He did ask if I wanted a soft scramble ... I don't. He did an excellent job of the eggs. They were very creamy and mixed with bits of chopped onion and pepper. I enjoyed those a lot. As to the potatoes and sausage ... my advice is to choose the grits and bacon instead.The potatoes were overcooked and rewarmed. The sausage were a bit dry as chicken sausage sometimes is.
One of these days, I'll give his pancakes a try ... right after I have that Jamaican breakfast.
re: rworange
Tried the Jamaican breakfast which had ackee with salted cod, collard greens, plantain slices, collard greens and two festivals.
Not sure of the exact price, but I got $11 and change back from a $20 and $1.50 of that was for coffee. Somewhere around $7 if tax is factored in.
It was the type of dish that reminds me of home kitchens no matter what ethnicity. Tasty, personal, maybe not perfect but satisfying. There's no smack of Sysco here.
The ackee was fried with sliced onions and peppers with bits of salt cod that gave flavor without calling attention to themselves. I mopped up the oily tasty pan juices with two fat, dense festivals. These are biscuits but with heft. They had a nice thin brown crust. The collard greens had a bit of nutmeg in it.
Ackee looks like scrambled eggs though it doesn't taste like eggs and the texture is a bit different. Though I haven't has a lot of ackee, it was as good as any I've tried.
The people at the table next to me were going on about how good the creole omelet was. It seems he is sensitive to people that are not Jamaican and was worried about the spice. It was fine with those diners who also liked the from scratch pancakes with a bit of nutmeg in them.
The coffee is along the lines of donut shop coffee, but the mug was large and refills were generous.
re: rworange
Sounds like the chef is making some really tasty food at great prices.Ackee(the fruit of an evergreen tree brought to Jamaica from West Africa) is one of my favorite exotic foods on earth.I'm not a fan of eggs so ackee is a nice breakfast option.Ackee and salt fish is the Jamaican national dish,served with green banana,yam and dumpling(all known as"food")Sometimes roast breadfruit too.Ackee and cabbage is a nice ital(natural veg)version.Fresh ackee is the best,but not allowed brought into the US,as,if not prepared properly,is poisonous.Canned ackee is dear,$14 a tin.Available at Arts Jamaican Market in Oakland and other Caribbean markets.
Festival(no s on the end of the word) is a sweetened fried cornmeal dumpling.It's sweetness is meant to compliment the spiciness or savoriness of the food it's served with such as jerk chicken,fried fish or ackee and salt fish.It's said to be so delicious it's like a festival in your mouth.
I wish Flavah Island Cafe much success and am looking forward to trying it.So many West Indian restaurants have come and gone in the bay area.Except for Chef Clive's Sweet Fingers in San Leandro and Chef Robert's Back a Yard in Menlo Park,I can't think of another W.I. restaurant that's operating,that serves an authentic menu.

re: rworange
That Jamaican breakfast is well worth trying--loved the salt cod in that dish. He didn't have any festivals available yet early this morning, so I don't know if he charged me a little bit less. (It came out to $5.99 before tax and tip.)
In any case, I thought it was still a very good deal, especially since the entree version of the ackee and codfish dish is $12.
Just back from lunch. I had the escovitched fish which was excellent. Really interesting spices with a bit of a kick, but not at all overpowering. The rice and beans on the side was really nice too. And another thumbs up for the ginger beer. My friend has the jerk chicken with a sorrel drink -- both were good. Service was laid back -- almost on island time -- but totally friendly. He just gave us a side of fried plantains out of the blue.
What an improvement over the old place.
Tried the ackee on toast for lunch today. Never had ackee before, so I have no frame of reference but found it quite interesting (especially texture-wise) and tasty. The resemblance to scrambled eggs is, indeed, uncanny. Taste-wise, it reminded me somewhat of fried tomato--or was I tasting something else that was mixed in with the ackee?
I was going to try a patty too, but they were out, so I opted for the codfish fritters instead. Very good, fried to perfection, served with some kind of spicy ketchup (not sure if it's from a bottle or their own concoction). A really generous portion for $3. Kind of like hush puppies but flatter and a bit chewier.
Really positive experience here too. Had the ackee and codfish and it was delicious. The sorrel was also tasty. I did notice a bit of carbonation in my friend's ginger beer, but much less than you'd expect from a soda - more like they gave it a spritz of seltzer water. The drink is opaque, closer in appearance to lemonade than Canada Dry.
Only quibbles were: 1) they took at least 30 minutes to make the dishes and served other tables first even though they arrived later, but it's understandable for a restaurant still finding its feet. They were nice enough to give us slightly bigger portions and free refills on the drinks to make up for the long cooking time. 2) my friend had the pasta and did not really care for it....but this is one case where I feel it was his fault for ordering a clearly out-of-place menu item. I could have seen from a mile off that this dish was an attempt to play to the neighborhood, rather than stick with the traditional Jamaican dishes that they do best.
Lunch with daughter who had the Ital Stew with beans and rice,fried plantain and spinach carrot salad, declared delicious. Me, freshly made Cocktail Patties with hot sauce a side plate of freshly fried plantains and ginger beer, all also delicious. Had a taste of goat curry for dessert, also good.
I had breakfast here a while back and just realized I never posted a review. This was hands down one of the best breakfasts I have ever had. I actually can't believe I have not been back, will have to make it out next week maybe. I'm not a big fan of American breakfasts since I don't eat pork and am not into sweet breakfasts. I ordered the Jamaican breakfast, I actually did not notice it on the menu, but knew that is what I wanted from RW's post. The man seemed a little taken a back like he was not prepared for that request, but told me it would take 5 to 10 minutes, which was actually more like 15- 20 minutes but a pleasant wait.. He also asked if I wanted fish, which turned out to be the best part so definitely say yes if you eat fish.
My breakfast was almost identical to RW but I did not have the greens or the festivals. I have never had ackee or salted codfish or any Jamaican food so I can't compare it but I am a sucker for sauteed onions and peppers, the addition of that salted codfish was just perfect. I wish I had gotten festivals to mop up the oil, but I stole some of my daughter's pancakes which were thick and not that sweet so they worked perfectly. Mine also came with some plantains, but not mashed, the sweetness of the plantains balanced out the oily ackee perfectly.
On a side note the owner is a very nice guy. I ordered my four year old daughter the $2.99 pancakes with turkey bacon. She inhaled the bacon, and when the man came over to see if we needed anything my daughter calmly replied, yes more bacon please! Despite my protests that she didn't need anymore he brought her another slice on the house. I made sure to leave a generous tip and our bill was still only $12 I believe my breakfast must have been cheaper then RW because of the lack of collards and festivals, but I would definitely pay extra for the festivals next time, you need something to mop up all the delicious oily bits!

re: elliora
Thanks for the report back. The festivals are on the menu as a side. I think I got them because I specifically asked if he had festivals. On my first visit he wasn't doing those yet.
The pancakes are on my to-try list so I appreciate the report. I also have been meaning to stop by to try the soup. He was planning to add soup to the menu.
re: elliora
I did get some festivals with my meal the second time I ordered the ackee and codfish Jamaican breakfast, so I think it might just be a matter of whether he has them ready or not on that particular morning (the first time I'd asked about them, and he didn't have them yet). Don't know if there was difference in price or not. With the festivals, it's a HEARTY breakfast--almost more than I could finish. But, with or without the festivals, that ackee and codfish hits the spot every time.
Haven't been to this place for a few weeks, and I do worry if he's getting enough business. Every time I've eaten there, there's been at most one or two other tables occupied, and a couple of times it's just been me. Seems like he's playing around with various specials to attract business--last time I passed by he was doing a $3.99 chicken curry as a lunch special.
Nice review in the East Bay Express. Hope it brings them some business
This was interesting ...
"Ediwards, who used to cook at Jamaican resorts, makes traditional dishes .... and his popular braised oxtail — based on his aunt's and grandmother's recipes"
Has anyone tried the oxtail?
re: rworange
Yup. Along with the ackee and codfish, it's the best thing I've had there. Still working on him to put the spinners back in, though.
Ate here finally again today. My experience this time though was a bit mixed, although the food was good as ever. I came at noon and sat down with a menu, I was thinking of getting the oxtail but had been dreaming about my last breakfast. I asked the waitress (new this time, last time it was just the owner) if it was still possible to get the jamaican breakfast. She asked the owner who said it would be fine, but it would take 10-12 minutes.
I should have remembered my last post! I was the only one in there and it took 25-30 minutes to get my food. Considering I only had had a half hour to eat it put a real damper on my meal. No apology was offered or even an acknowledgment of the lateness. I could see if the place is packed, but when it's the only meal you are cooking the dish takes 10 minutes to cook or it takes half an hour. A lady who came in after me ordered the jerk chicken and it took two minutes to get out to her. I know mine was a special order and I appreciated them being flexible, but it would have been nice to get a choice.
Anyways I'm digressing, the real star again was the ackee and codfish. Really this stuff is like crack to me. It was spicy this time which i don't remember from last time, but i loved the extra kick. It came with four slices of plantains, only one of which was caramelized properly but they were still delicious. I also ordered a side of festivals this time since I didn't have my daughter with me to steal pancakes from. I'm not sure what they are supposed to taste like but the dough in the middle was still raw tasting. I really can't imagine this dish without some kind of bread product, it is just so rich and oily.
My second surprise came with my bill. The price this time was $7.50 plus $1.50 for the festivals. Quite a big jump from my last time and the same price RW paid but her dish came with the festivals and greens.
Don't get me wrong this place is amazing based on this one dish alone, I would not hesitate to come here again. However they are still really slow and I could see another person in my shoes maybe not returning no matter how good the food is. I want them to succeed and hope they can make it work
re: elliora
Yeah, it's not a place for a quick meal, which is probably something the owner/chef should address if he wants to get more lunch business. He's always been willing to make that breakfast for me past noon as well, but I've never been in a huge rush.
I also think the place could benefit from better lighting, or windows that are less tinted. I mentioned in another thread that every time I walk past, the restaurant just looks closed. (And sometimes it IS closed. Does anyone know what the official opening time is now, or if there is even a set time? I've gone by a couple times at 8:00 a.m. wanting breakfast, and it hasn't been open, which was frustrating. But I've definitely eaten there at around that time before.)
I think the pricing of the "Jamaican breakfast" and what it actually contains has always been a bit vague, He doesn't even have an official code for it programmed into the cash register. I think I've always paid the same price (which, I should note, is very reasonable), but sometimes it comes with the festivals and sometimes not. And sometimes he gives me some toast or some potatoes instead.
He should probably just spell it out on the menu, especially since I've never been offered any other kind of Jamaican breakfast besides the ackee and codfish plate -- so it isn't exactly a daily special type of thing, which may have been how he had originally envisioned the breakfasts. I bet part of the problem is that there isn't a ton of business for breakfast, and the handful of us diehards on this board may be among the few that'll order the Jamaican breakfast regularly.
Incidentally, I too have found the festivals to be a bit raw-tasting. Does anyone know if that's just how they're supposed to be? In any case, I find them to be the weakest part of that breakfast. But the ackee and codfish ... as noted ... just delicious. And I don't actually mind eating it without a starch. Washing it down with a ginger beer helps cut the grease -- yes, even at breakfast.
BTW, Elliora, you should give Chef Edwards your feedback the next time you're there. My sense is that he's pretty open to suggestions and has already tweaked his menu based on what people have said. I'm sure he'd appreciate hearing the pluses and minuses of your experience, especially since you seem to like the restaurant on the whole.
Passed by Flavah Island this morning and saw that the sign had been taken down and the windows were all covered up with newspaper. Note on the window says that a new Italian restaurant (Cucina Italiana or something like that) will be opening there.
It's too bad, but given the lack of business (and thin margins he must have been operating on), I can't say I'm surprised. Hopefully Chef Edwards can land on his feet and get a new gig in the area, even if it's not at his own place.
re: abstractpoet
what a damn shame. ive been there a couple of times and each time i was the only customer. im going to miss that ackee and codfish!
re: abstractpoet
The Italian place was open today. I forget the name. Startlingly low prices.
re: Robert Lauriston
Started with an L. And yeah, the prices looked really low. Lighting is still pretty dim.

France, 2007 (MIFF 2008, Nightshift)
Director: Alexandre Bustillo, Julien Maury
"Say hello to the motherf**king anti-Juno." - Village Voice
Starring a menacing and unrelentingly psychotic Beatrice Dalle (Betty Blue) as the foetus-obsessed 'femme', Inside is a powerful experiment in extreme, sadistic filmmaking that blows genre conventions through the roof.
Recently widowed Sarah is on the eve of giving birth, home and alone, until an intruder intent on killing her and filleting the unborn baby from her womb pays a surprise visit. This simple premise sets the scene for a blood-sodden, arterial-spraying scramble that will send the pulses of even the most hardened horror fan racing; it's as gruesome as it is terrifying.
"As someone who's seen hundreds of horror movies from every corner of the globe - I'm convinced [Inside] is some sort of maniacal mini-masterpiece." - Cinematical
Warning: Contains scenes that will offend

Spider 'Explodes' With Babies During Attack [VIDEO]
So a guy caught two spiders in his house. Little did he know one of the spiders was knocked up. Watch as the spider babies are born during a spider attack!
So a guy caught two spiders in his house. Little did he know one of the spiders was knocked up. Watch as the spider babies are born during a spider attack!
A grandmother is now caring for two babies after they were found in a Flint home, with loaded guns near them.
When my son was a baby I loved watching him taste a variety of new foods but when it came to lemons, it was the absolute best. Just watching his little nose wrinkle up, his eyes close and the shiver running down his spine was priceless. Here's a compilation of babies tasting lemons in slow motion.
You can't always get what you want...and this little girl learns that lesson when she finds out she's getting a little brother not a sister. Her reaction is priceless and the fact that her parents laughed at her is even better!
If you are afraid of your baby, or babies in general this video may help you conquer that fear. Meet Gavin McInnes, he does not let his baby boy intimidate him. The baby appears to be having fun in the video, but there are a few parts in it that have concerned some viewers. Watch it and let us know what you think.
I don't know if you have ever tried to water ski, but to me it is not easy. I was super impressed when I saw this 7-month-old baby doing it. Check out this super baby on the on the water!
I think I still make the "lemon face" every time that I bite into a lemon. Here's a really cute video of babies trying lemons for the very first time. Do this to your little one, send us the video and we'll feature it right here on the Banana website.
Damn! I have never given birth, nor do I intend to after hearing a story like this. An Iowa woman recently gave birth to a baby boy who weighed in at 13 pounds 12 ounces. In case you are wondering, it was a vaginal delivery and she had no medication.
Mothers are 11.3 percent less likely to give birth on Halloween than they are on the days before and after the holiday.
This is some real nice family time, taking sweet videos and photos of the babies, and then there's the dog rubbing one out on a pillow. Really captures the moment...sort of.

Re: SLA
The problem is not that they are measured by SLAs, it's that the SLAs have not been defined correctly to meet the users requirements.
Who are "the users" of the SLA? The business itself and the layer of managers who's incentive structure is based on getting the right numbers for their performance reviews. These being all smart, goal-oriented people, will quickly learn the reward structure - consequently, more or less *whatever* SLA one comes up with, will be thoroughly gamed and soon lead to dysfunction*!
The fall-back is: Trust, honesty, good intentions, decentralization, group identity and intrinsic motivation.
But, one cannot do power-points and KPI's with that!

Which is just one of the reasons why I very very rarely play a purely online multiplayer game like this one, especially one that is meant to be fast paced action.
The only MMORPG I play on occassion is World Of Warcraft (as it will play on my ok spec PC).
Titanfall and Forza were just not good enough reasons to get an Xbox One, although depending on how Destiny looks, that may have me upgrade...
1) Cattle vs pets. Part of my job is to manage four local not-very-big servers (140 queries/second&server, about 100 connected users/server at any given instant). It's not a big part of my work, but they do receive some TLC and are clearly pets. Another office runs the same databases & websites, but there the IT department decided to unload the servers to Google. Those servers are very much cattle.
My coddled pet servers are a factor 10 -- 20 faster than the industrial cattle servers on any given query, despite running the same site and database, and despite my sites receiving more traffic. So score one for coddled pets.
2) Lag vs FPS gamers. It's true that if you have really sucky ping (>200 or so) then you're at a disadvantage, HOWEVER: the reason people get pwnt in fps's is almost never because of the ping, If you have 100 ping and your opponent 50, you're highly unlikely to be losing because of your ping. You're losing because you're simply not as good as the opposition.
It's just really hard for many people to admit that they're average (or worse) in a game of skill. Much easier, then, to blame ping, or that you're not playing on a 120 Hz monitor, or that the opposition are no-life aspies who play 24/7, or that you've got a cordless mouse. Or that all the opponents cheat.
Re: Thoughts
Re: FPS/Lag - you are right. small differences in ping really don't make a difference to how you play, but it is a lot easier to blame that than your own experience or skill.
i used to play a lot of CS. sometimes you would get picked off by someone with what felt like a crazy shot (I don't have a problem loosing, but some hits were just beyond logic). Even when my first instinct in those cases was to think that they were hacking, spectating on that player for a while usually led me to concede that actually they were a really good player. its hard to accept, but important.
by the way, am i the only one who finds that games now are often a lot less social than they used to be? I used to play CS on a series of friendly clan servers that felt more like spending an evening in the pub with friends than playing a game - even though i only ever spoke to them in the context of the game. Compare that to the experience of playing CoD on Xbox live...
Re: Thoughts
The only multiplayers I have got into were populated by people I could chat to decent players playing for a long time. Very little abuse, trolls tended to get picked on, see below.
One TPS had various character skins, often the females were chosen due to nicer bums to look at, but some sexist players blocked you in corners and taunted (so you grenade suicided), those idiots got hounded off, just to say grenade team kills are usefull.
I also remember uploading game play glitches to the dev team, and for fun I patrolled one glitch and killed the glitcher EVERYTIME they went for it.
A FPS I played a lot also had glitchers but they were shootable, put yourself somewhere safe and pick them off as they tried to climb off the map.
Re: Thoughts
re: cheating. Cheating IS common (I quit playing America's Army because there were just too many people using various hacks) but most times it's skill (or luck). As for the people who do cheat, they tend to tell you to chill about it, because "it's just a game" -- but of course the reason they cheat is because they, too, find it hard to admit they're average or worse at a game of skill.
re: social. It's not something I've thought much about, I don't use voice-comms unless playing with real-life friends, so I'm probably missing out.
Re: Thoughts
So, short version -
A ping of less 100ms doesn't make much of a difference simply due to the fact that most humans take longer to react (fully, rather than simply "notice there is something to react to) than that. Even if you could see bullets coming at you, it wouldn't help you dodge them.
(And you can't anyway; I can move my hands faster than you can see and so can any street magician).
Therefore, Trevor sucks at Titanfall but he can always blame it on Microsoft (via Azure) to maintain the ongoing theme of this site. Everyone happy?
Re: Thoughts
... so I'm probably missing out.
Yesss - It is always good to hear someone totally lose it in apoplectic rage over something, especially when one caused it.
I stopped playing WoW because Blizzard slowly, but thoroughly, cleansed the game of all opportunities for spoiling, griefing, ganking, creep pulling e.t.c. Now, playing WoW, it's just like work.
Re: Thoughts
It largely depends upon the game engine and how it's lag compensation works. In very simple games like the original counterstrike (and, to a lesser extent, source), then someone with a 10ms ping vs someone with a 90ms ping will have *vastly* better game play and the ephemeral "reg" - when you have your crosshairs over someones face and press fire, does the game register a hit or say "sorry, try again".
In games like this, ping is crucial.
Re: Thoughts
"Trevor sucks at Titanfall"
I've never played Titanfall, but yes, I'll admit to sucking out loud on this one. My reflexes in other FPSes are bad enough for me to be among the crappy "cannon fodder" players in any FPS.
Josh, however, is a professional gamer who cut his teeth on Quake. He can hit you with a rocket/rail combo whilst spinning multiple 360s and bouncing around the map enough to make me puke with nausea. The man is a bloody *god* when it comes to this stuff. He isn't the best of the best, but he's good enough to be set apart from the rest.
Re: Thoughts
Really over the long run these games are just of interest for developing excellent bot programs that cannot be distinguished from real player.
IF one has the time.
Consider this "cloud-based testing" of the game.
Just be thankful, they could have gone the way of CoD and had P2P. What monkey thought that was a good idea?
Limited sales
OK Lets look at our consoles, mix of Nintendo, Sega, & Sony, none of them can play it, next.
PC.Go to the main stores where I get games, not there. Not even on Steam.
A fail for me.
I will be getting Destiny though, but on a better console than Frood42 was considering
Re: Limited sales
An upvote for just making me smile.
I have found very little to no reason to upgrade to an Xbox One.
In fact I has seen very little compelling reason to upgrade to either a PS4 or an Xbox One.
My Xbox 360 does me just fine for a casual bit of violent fun at the weekend.
I think these consoles just took too long to get to the market, and when they did get here, it was all a bit meh and shrug of shoulders as the release games were a bit average.
Re: Limited sales
We have a PS4 and a small number of games.
Well I am patiently waiting for Tomb Raider, Infamous Second Son, to drop in price, until then I have DLC for The Last Of Us and Bioshock Infinite to keep me entertained.
Like a lot of fans I found Killzone ShadowFall multiplayer to be not as much fun as the older KZ2 and KZ3 multiplayers. Infact I still play 3s multiplayer despite having SF
I strongly disagree.
One can expect the TitanFall's Azure servers to improve if necessary, that's all. I may well be wrong but I highly doubt most of latency problems come from Azure. If it's like most games I know the problem is generally between a gamers ISP and the game publisher's communication partner. Because there are so few at scale, it may be difficult for the publisher to pressure the communication partner to improve.
I highly doubt many gamers could afford and would afford a 'pet treatment'.
And it's the same in general. Or do you expect hand crafted Swiss watches to cost the same as robot manufactured watches from China.
Latency is a mostly factor of distance. Some latency can be dealt with by refining the server's config, but mostly it's just down to "the speed of light says no."
Azure can't solve that, no matter how many buzzwords are applied.
well put Trevor
I agree with you but your suggestion for an alternative approach won't fly. It is so counter cultural, sadly. It is the same with outsourcing arguments. If one likes where they work and have some sense of company identification, it is a good bet that the servers will be in far better shape, funds permitting, than the SL measured merely adequate units from outsourcery suppliers. Probably cheaper too for big corporates that are well managed.
Local servers.
Nobody ever complained about Steam's Valve laggy servers, because they DON'T HOST any games in the first place. They allowed any schmuck to host their own servers, pet clan servers included, and publish their address inside the service, so you can find them.
So, when you are invited into a clan match, you know your lag is your fault. And, when searching games outside a clan match, you know the search algorithm will give you the list filtered by criteria, being one of them the lag. Given Steam works in over 130 countries, the search will always give you the geographically close, privately owned, open servers with the best lag possible (most of them are ad-ridden, there is no free meal after all).
So yes, Steam may even have public servers, but you only get to connect to them when no other server is closer to you. Now, Microsoft is shooting her own foot trying to host a large number of simultaneous games played by Xbox owners across the globe and won't let anyone host their own games, using her service just for matchmaking.
Sony released the beta, free download version of Ace Combat Infinity for PS3 a while ago. Except the games were all hosted exclusively on Namco Bandai's servers or whatever. Upon closing the servers, the game just stopped working, presumably to return by the end of this year as a finished product (the game was fantastic by the way). This sort of dick move is the intention of Microsoft, perhaps... they can pull the plug and hose their players if things go wrong.
"He will be able to quite literally dodge bullets and you won't see his bullets coming. In the modern FPS world when two gamers of more or less equal skill meet, the gamer with the lowest ping wins." -- Until you play Battlefield 4, where the person with the highest ping wins!
"We want the option to be in control, even if we never exercise it."
But that is the last thing in the world that MS want you to have. The cluster fuck of a PR exercise on the 6 month run up to the launch of their new console proves that they want to own everything and allow you the privilege only of "licensing" your £50 piece of software. If it weren't for the media shitstorm that followed their announcements then you'd be stuck unable to re-sell validly purchased software.
I'm not aware that the user is able to sign up to an SLA when playing online as MS only goal is get as many players ringfenced onto their solution as possible.
"Low-ping bastards" have always been a small but horribly exaggerated problem since the early days of DOOM & Quake. It's bogus.
Watch someone like AH_BrownMan playing CoD and it's just unreal how he can flip up the scope and get an instant headshot before I can even notice his target. You can see then it's not low-ping but just 100% amazing skill.
Anyway, since I don't play multi-player, I find multi-player-only games like Titanfall to be complete disappointments.and that's even before I noticed it was an EA product with Sony DRM.
'it's not low-ping but just 100% amazing skill'
Technique is definitely a big factor. I was being creamed by my nephew during Christmas bloodfests. After a while he got bored and showed me what he was doing. He was already squeezing the right trigger long before I stuck my head out to see if anyone was there. If no target appeared he'd release and if one did he'd keep squeezing and get the kill as a shot from the hip. So he was anticipating the kill, not waiting for this grandpa to see the enemy with his own two eyes and then going for the scope!
That said, there not a whole lot of technique employed by some gamers. There's the guy who jumps in the air 3 times when he's being shot at and still kills you with a sniper steady shot. I think games should compensate for this. If you're moving the aiming accuracy should plummet! Same goes for firing off into the distance at some vague window that's a spawn point. Wind-speed should definitely apply and drift your aim off.
I remember the day...
Servers were loved, (yes, I shared a gamer server once) playing gaming like CS, Quake, UT, BF1942. Lag was your problem but you could easy choose your server, finding one with everyone between 10 - 40ms. Now days I occasionally play on a friends xbox, and even though it refuses to tell you what your lag is (just connection strength which appears to mean nothing), I can tell its bad. Little signs like people lurching and bouncing around the map, punching opponents who then hit you before running through you and dying. Yet I am informed this is normal. Hence, I haven't bought my own xbox and won't pay for internet a second time from M$ just to get their substandard service/servers. I really hope this isn't the future. My guess is rather than tighten SLAs they are just waiting for the internet to get faster, possibly reaching FTL speeds.

About Silvia Lourenco
I love to travel and share experiences...
After years living in Bairro Alto I decided to share the oportunity of that experiente to all travelers.
I'll be glad to welcome you to our lovely and vibrant city.
What makes this apartment unique
The apartment is located in a typical quarter of Lisbon, close to different means of transport and points of interest (São Carlos and D. Maria II National Theatres, Trindade and São Luiz Theatres, Chiado Museum, Design and Fashion Museum, Carmo Archaeological Museum, Science Museum, Natural History Museum, belvederes, cinemas, libraries, fado restaurants, restaurants, bars, and so on). One of the city's best viewing point is at Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara, near the Solar do Vinho do Porto for wine tasting. The area is also well known for its many fado music venues. In fact you might ear fado trough the apartment balconies in the evening. A little North, Princípe Real is a gay-friendly extension of the area, boasting antique shops and galleries, as well as its namesake square and park of exotic plants.
Just 50 meters from the apartments door, you can catch Tram nº 28 – a scenic stroll will take you to the Castelo de São Jorge, perched in the Alfama cliffs.
Guestbook comments from the owner
The flat is a wonderful and central place to discover Lisbon. Although it's in the Bairro Alto it's really quiet at night - don't worry! We found everything we needed in the flat. Silivia was very helpful with tips and so on. We've had a good contact via whatsapp during our stay. The flat was really very clean and we had lots of towels to use. A traditional bakery is nearby and they've had great things for the breakfast. And just across the street we'd found a good restaurant. We're missing Lisbon and this apartment! Best wishes from Hamburg

Birthday Gift for Myself
My birthday is next week and my mother-in-law has been asking me what I want. I'm at a loss, since I really don't *need* anything.
We just moved to a new house (from an apartment) so I have room for some new kitchen toys, but I just can't figure out what I want. I'm thinking maybe the Cuisinart Griddler, since people seem to like that and I certainly wouldn't buy it for myself. I was also contemplating a crock pot, but not sure if I would really use it. Also, aren't they rather inexpensive?
Any other ideas? Price could go up to around $200, which is certainly nice.
A bit hard to say, since we don't know what else you have, but it were me, I'd like a large oval Le Creuset oven.
Depends on how many of the "basics" you already have. That Le Creuset sure would be a good one. But what about a Kitchen Aid mixer. Got one of them? If you have the basics tied down, then the Cuisinart Griddler would not be bad. There's another thread running about a $229 fuzzy logic rice cooker. http://www.chowhound.com/topics/416862 That sounds interesting. Look at what you have and what you'll use most. Or maybe what you'd never buy for yourself.
re: yayadave
Just a thought, but if it is something you'd never buy for yourself are you sure you'd use it? It might sit on a shelf like my slow cooker gather in dust. On my to buy list for myself is a pressure cooker. Hard to go wrong with Le Creuset for any occasion.
re: Candy
I also started this thread, since someone mentioned pressure cookers.
What exactly is the difference? (maybe it's obvious but I have no idea!)
re: valerie
They allow you to cook foods that might take a long time in a relatively short amount of time. Stews, tougher cuts that need time to become tender, beans etc. I have my eye on a Kuhn Rikon. I love slow cooking in Le Cruset but sometimes you need to gt it done now and the pressure cooker allows for that.
Thanks for the ideas. I should have added that I do have several Le Creuset's, and while I could always use/want more, my MIL has already bought me 2 of them (at my request), I feel weird asking for another one. She also bought me a Zojirushi rice cooker 2 years ago (at my husband's request) and I've actually never used it.
I thought about the KA stand mixer, but I'm just not sure that I want it right now. I feel like it might just end up standing there without getting much use.
re: valerie
Nice to see you can spend MIL's money! Only kidding. I can always come up with a list of more goodies I would like it my kitchen.
Slow cooker is great if you ever need to have dinner ready while you have been out, or busy, all day. I use it several times a month. Various models go from $30 to the higher end ones at about $129. I'd recommend it if you like stews or braised entrees. On the other hand, you could go for a new pressure cooker and take the opposite approacj -- speed. I'd also recomment it if you like stews or braised entrees. Check out WS for both of these items. If you don't have a KA or similar stand mixer, you must get one. This is a priority item. How about a mandoline? There is nothing quite like this gadget for waffle cuts or nice thin layers. Again, can run over $100. Stick blender? Electric Kettle? Copper cookware? Check out Falk on line or Mauviel at one of their many distributers. You don't have to use LC exclusively, you know. Look at Bridge Kitchenware on line. I just ordered a new roasting pan last night, I have enough pots and pans to outfit a restaurant, so there is always something really cool there. Happy Birthday!
What about an ice cream maker?? I don't think I would ever buy one for myself, but I would like to receive on as a gift =)
I was going to recommend either Le Creuset or a Kitchen Aid, but I guess both of those aren't really in the running. How about a *really* nice chef's knife?
I got myself an ice cream maker about 5 years ago, and have only used it twice.
What a wonderful dilema!
"Commercial" quality blender, maybe? To my mind, utterly "unecessary" unless you have some kind of OCD thing going with margaritas, but very nice to work with when they're available, which just screams "birthday present" to me...
New house. Finally some storage space and room for entertaining!
Over the years, I asked for and cherished good bakeware/serving pieces. I got Apilco porcelain that is astonishingly durable - enough that it can be used for everyday - and classically elegant. Used by fine restaurants and I mix it with my good china, even the heirloom stuff, on my best table. French company has been in business almost 200 years. Never goes out of style.
Chefs. com appears to be discontinuing the line so they have some fabulous prices now. There's an oval au gratin large enough for a whole fish that you can take oven to table and some other great pieces you'll have for a lifetime. I've had some of mine for more than 30 years.
I think dishes (when you have the room to store) are always a great idea. But I just got the Cuisinart pressure cooker and I totally love it! It does what a crock pot would but in much less time. It's electric, too, so it's fast, easy and doesn't involve heating the whole house. I personally would vote for this. I absolutely love mine, and use it often, though I probably wouldn't have bought it for myself. Happy birthday, by the way!
Since you stated that you had moved into a big new house and had plenty of room for gadgets, how about a gift card to a store and you can purchase what you need. I do think the crock pot would be good. I bought one after I moved into my townhouse and use it more than I thought. You could ask for the crock pot, but be sure to specify a recipe book. Find the recipe, use your gift card or crock pot and enjoy your creation! Happy Birthday.
re: ela0327
I thought about the gift card to someplace, but for some reason, my MIL is reluctant to give gift cards as gifts. I was hoping that she would have suggested it, but she didn't (and I'm certainly not complaining about someone wanting to buy me a nice gift!).
I just bought a Boos board; haven't received it yet. At $100+, I would have preferred that it was a gift.
My bday is next month; on *my* wish list is an ultraslim digital camera to take pics of chow!
I also have a Scooba that cleans my kitchen floors (I also have a Roomba for the other rooms). It's one of the best purchases I've made in a while.
What a wonderful dilemma!
I'd have LOVED this as a gift...alas, I had to buy it myself but have never regretted the purchase.
