I have started working on a promo for the company, apparently the idea is part of a mobile media marketing campaign. Right now I am in the process of testing it, because we want to create an ad which is not overly annoying. In fact it seems to me that the way that this works might seem a bit creepy because apparently they are going to be used in such a way that they will target people in the immediate area of the locations. Obviously if you know how smart phones work it is easy to figure out how a smart person could target ads at you personally. It is rather simple for a company like Google or the people who make your phone ( or the software on your phone) to know where you are and what you are doing and perhaps they know why you are there and what you are looking for.
Of course they do not take the time to figure out this stuff themselves, they have algorithms and they have your personal data. Continue reading

The screened in rocking chair front porch will immediately invite you to sit and stare in awe at the magnificent mountain views. Any stress will definitely be gone after a long soak in the private luxury hot tub.
Originally Built in the 1920's but thoroughly renovated, Appalachian Vacation Cabins' Chestnut Cabin was originally built on a 3 acre sustainable mountain farm. It is located high in the mountains and affords cool summer breezes and bright sunshine. From the screened porch, you have magnificent views of three mountain ranges in the distance. During your stay take a slow stroll though the beautifully landscaped edible garden including herbs, perennials, and fruit trees, enjoy a challenging game of horseshoes, or sit and soak in the large hot tub on the large deck overlooking the beautiful mountains in the distance.

There is a variety of outdoor activities in close proximity including biking, fishing, wildlife viewing, horseback riding, and white water rafting. Even with all Western North Carolina has to offer you may never want to leave the Chestnut Cabin. The hot tub, outdoor bonfire pit, cozy gas fireplace, books, games, and movies can be quite relaxing!!!

This week we introduce the remaining designer teams for the 2014 Ladue News Show House. See their work on display at 34 Briarcliff in Ladue Oct. 11 – 19.
With so much online information at the consumer's fingertips, the challenge for today's influential, high-end interior designers is to ferret out truly unique and hard-to-find furnishings for the most discerning and fashion-forward clients.
Colorful leaves, a cool breeze and the city's signature fall festivals soon will signal the start of autumn in St. Louis.
Water Features in the Home Garden (Part 1 of 2)
This 5-bedroom, 4-full and 1-half bathroom home in Richmond Heights is listed for $1.595 million.

From the ice cream cone to hot dogs, hamburgers and even iced tea, the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis has long been lauded for many firsts of the food industry. While those claims mostly are myths, as local author Pam Vaccaro explains in her book, Beyond the Ice Cream Cone: The Whole Scoop on Food at the 1904 World's Fair, St. Louis certainly served as an international stage for the jumping-off point of these food items' popularity during that memorable early 20th century spring and summer.
To celebrate their successful Holiday Mail for Heroes campaign, The American Red Cross and St. Louis Rams held a small luncheon at Café Napoli for representatives of their partner organizations. The campaign encouraged local schools, organizations, companies and individuals to send holiday cards to American military members, veterans and their families around the world.

Interior designers simply cannot stop looking at beautiful things. It always is interesting to see how other creative people perceive a space, as well as how they reinvent uses for different pieces of furniture and decorative items.
There's no question LN readers are in-the-know, so who better to ask about the things that make St. Louis stand out and stand proud? Here, we present the very best, as selected by our readers, in the 2014 Ladue News Platinum List!
The spring thaw seems to be working its way to St. Louis, and this is the perfect time to start thinking about your new outdoor projects. In case you have something more elaborate than a few new flowers in mind for your backyard, we found two fantastic projects to get your creative juices flowing.

Originally from the Springfield, Ill., area, Alex and Meghan Haycraft moved to St. Louis in 2011 looking for a home that would give them a taste of the outdoors, while still offering a convenient location. They found it in their craftsman home in Manchester, where they frequently welcome Alex's 4-year-old son, Myles. Alex, a web developer at Soft Surroundings who plays in the band Park, and Meghan, a scientific IT customer advocate at Monsanto, also are raising two dogs, Dexter and Felix. We asked Meghan about the neighborhood highlights.
14 Greenbriar Drive
All of a sudden it's nearing the end of December and thoughts of New Year's resolutions dance in our heads. Before we enter 2014, however, let's reflect on what the past year has given us on local stages.
Every year, LN salutes local nonprofits commemorating milestone anniversaries. Whether distributing and planting trees, providing a safe home for children in need or supporting those touched by cancer, these organizations continue to make a difference in St. Louis. To celebrate, we've shared a few of their histories and goals for the future.
A 4-bedroom, 3-full and 1-half bath Wildwood home is listed for $1.45 million.
Nestled in the most coveted local neighborhoods, these stunning manses boast historical charm with modern luxuries. Fall in love with the property that could become your dream home.

One of the most attractive facilities within the village is our Garden City Swimming Pool. The 54th season began on Saturday, June 12. All residents are encouraged to become members of the Swimming Pool and enjoy all that it has to offer to all age groups. There is a membership level available for everyone.
We all want to keep the environment clean and green. However, I would like to remind the village residents that although we want to have beautiful lawns and flowers, we must keep in mind the village's law with regard to water conservation (Local Law 3-1987) is now in effect. The restrictions are:
Lawn sprinkling and garden irrigation only from April 16 to Nov. 30 of each year and only during the hours of 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.
The days a person may water are:
Odd numbered properties on odd-numbered days.
Even numbered properties on even-numbered days
Properties with no numbers on even-numbered days.
Automatic sprinkler systems:
All newly installed systems must have moisture sensors approved by the Department of Public Works. For more information please call 465-4012 regarding sprinkler systems.
• All home car washing must be done with hoses fitted with spray nozzles with automatic shut-off.
• Use of water for washing down driveways or walkways is prohibited.
Please cooperate by observing these restrictions. The police department has been requested to issue appearance tickets to those persons found to be in violation of this law.
Residents who have in-ground sprinklers are advised that their sprinklers must have certification of their backflow prevention units.
Please take a minute to schedule an appointment with a certified backflow prevention assembly tester who is certified by the Nassau County Department of Health. If the test discloses that the assembly is not operating satisfactorily, please have the necessary repairs made and the assembly retested by the certified tester. On completion of a test showing that the assembly is operating satisfactorily, the certified tester should complete a Test and Maintenance Report Form and forward to Village Hall Department of Public Works. An untested backflow device is considered a potential hazard to the residents of the village.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to call Steven Bayard at 465-4024.
The next Board of Trustees Meeting will be held on Thursday, June 17, 2010. The meeting dates for the summer will be as follows: July 15 and Aug. 19. The meetings will be held in the boardroom at Village Hall and will begin at 8 p.m.
I encourage residents to periodically utilize the village's website for information regarding the village's operations, as well as items of seasonal and special interest. The address is www.gardencityny.net. For your convenience, listed on the village's home page under the Heading of Recreation is a listing of the hours for the Community Park Pool for the months of July, August and September.
"For years, special interests have blocked the passage of a cap on school property taxes. While such legislation has twice passed the Senate and is supported by the governor, it has never seen the light of day in the Assembly. As we have witnessed this week, Governor Paterson has the power to change that. I am calling on him to include the tax cap in next week's budget extender legislation. Governor Paterson has a golden opportunity to secure a legacy as a friend of New York's property taxpayers. He must show leadership, seize this moment and take this very important first step toward taming out-of-control property tax increases in this state."
I attended yet another BOE Budget meeting, the usual suspects were in attendance. Couldn't see where the PTA members were hiding their pom-poms. However, in a $90 million budget, they really sharpened those pencils and found a whooping $284,000 in additional savings. Later, we were regaled about the marvelous achievements our students were making on the state tests. Little mention was made of the dumbing down of those same tests by the education bureaucracy so that they look good. Much effort went into this presentation, they really earned my vote. Not!
On Memorial Day, the trustees and I had the honor of attending the parade and Memorial Day Ceremony, which was held in front of the Garden City Middle School. I would like to commend the efforts of the William Bradford Turner Post No. 265 and the American Legion Auxiliary under the leadership of Commandeer John C. Donovan and President John Nedelka. I would also like to congratulate the Grand Marshal of the ceremony, Dr. Robert Scott, president of Adelphi University. Please keep all service personnel who serve our country proudly, and their families, in your thoughts and prayers.
Village offices were closed on Monday, May 31, 2010 in observance of Memorial Day. Those scheduled for recycling are asked to put their recyclables out on Monday, June 7. The holiday collection schedule will be as follows: Residents west of Rockaway Avenue — garbage pickup on Tuesday and Friday; residents east of Rockaway Avenue — garbage pickup on Wednesday and Saturday.
Looking for information on avoiding foreclosure, finding a mental health counseling service or disaster assistance? Senator Kemp Hannon is alerting all Long Islanders that you can obtain the important health and human service information you are seeking, for free.
Village offices will be closed on Monday, May 31 in observance of Memorial Day and will reopen on Tuesday, June 1 at 8:30 a.m. For your convenience, correspondence for the village may be placed in the "letter" drop slot at the front door.
Residents are reminded that there will be no garbage or recycling pickup on Monday, May 31. Garbage will be collected Tuesday and Friday for the western half, and Wednesday and Saturday for the eastern half of the village. Those scheduled for recycling are asked to put their recyclables out on Monday, June 7.
Rubbish collection for the entire village will be on Thursday, June 3.
The Belmont Festival Committee has advised my office that plans have been finalized for the 13th Annual Belmont Festival at Garden City — A Salute to America. This year's event which will have a red, white and blue theme, will be held on Friday evening June 4, from 6 to 10 p.m., on Seventh Street. The opening ceremony will begin at 6:45 p.m. on the main stage. The United States Air Force Band, "the Afterburners" will be featured, along with several other bands including the country band "Six Gun." There will be some new special events along with activities for the children, including face painters and clowns.
Please mark your calendar and make it a point to attend this annual family event.
As the weather begins to get warmer, take time to think about your lawn and garden. Planning is the key to successful water conservation.
Select plants and trees that are drought-tolerant. Some examples are crape myrtle, oleander, wild lilac and rosemary.
To increase plant health and conserve water, add organic matter such as mulch to the soil of shrub and flowerbed areas. This increases the soil's ability to absorb and store water in a form available to the plant.
Composting not only removes waste from landfills, but also provides rich organic planting material.
Consider using drip irrigation, where the water gets directly to the plants' roots.
Working under a special permit from the village, food establishments on Seventh Street, New Hyde Park Road and Franklin Avenue have placed tables and chairs outside their shops and restaurants for your convenience and enjoyment. Please stop by to let the merchants know that you appreciate their efforts and enjoy the many fine tastes of Garden City.
The next board of trustees meetings will be held on Thursday, June 3, and Thursday, June 17, at 8 p.m. The meetings are held in the boardroom at Village Hall.
I encourage residents to periodically utilize the village's website for information regarding the village's operations, as well as items of seasonal and special interest. The address is www.garden cityny.net. One item that is listed on the village's home page, under the heading of "Recreation Department."
I recently put forward legislation to create thousands of new jobs and to turn around the state's economy.
My "jobs plan" provides tax credits to businesses that create new jobs, eliminates the state corporate franchise tax for small businesses, and rolls back the personal income tax surcharge that hit small businesses last year.
My name is Christopher DeSimone and I am a Boy Scout from Troop 56 living in Garden City. I am currently starting my Eagle Scout project. I am writing this letter to ask for donations to help fund my project. My project is with an AHRC of Nassau group home in Oceanside.
I would like to take this opportunity to inform residents of Hempstead Town's SWIFT911 emergency notification service. The system provides a mechanism for the town to phone, e-mail or text message residents and businesses under its jurisdiction in the event of an emergency such as a severe storm evacuation. Such situations may include water main breaks, flooding, weather emergencies or natural disasters. Non-emergency contact may also be made in the event of town water department pipe flushing, which may affect water quality.

BROADBAND will SAVE THE ECONOMY, shriek UK.gov bods
The government claimed today that a £1.2bn investment of taxpayer money in the deployment of fast broadband networks would return £20 for every £1 spent from the public purse. Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport Maria Miller has come under fire in recent months. The Broadband Delivery UK contracts looked set to fall …
It goes on, trumpeting the supposed creation of 11,000 jobs in 2014 alone, and claiming household savings of £45m a year by 2024 - courtesy of more people being able to work from home.
Fat chance. I work in one of the few but many jobs where working from home would make some kind of sense but it won't happen for several reasons
1: People don't work as hard when they're at home. Working at work I'm split between net and working (normally during compile time) working at home I'm playing games and watching TV in between brief bouts of inspiration.
2: Meetings, they're everywhere, generally if you're in a job where you could work at home, you're also needed for face to face meetings every couple hours, normally booked during breakfast and just as you're about to leave because people are bastards (or right after lunch, hate that one too)
3: Face to face time. Yes I could answer your question via email, or on the phone. I'd actually prefer that personallly, but a lot of people want direct contact and to talk to you 'in person' (normally just as you've worked out something complex, or when you're desperate for the bathroom in both cases you wind up cursing the name of the one who interrupted you)
My best guess is that these government bods saw the adverts for "I earned 12k this week all from working at home, all you need is a good internet connection" and decided this is the return (in taxes) that they're looking for.
Anon because, on the few occasions I do get to work from home, I don't want them knowing I'm actually playing games
Broadband will cure all
Broadband will save you
Broadband will....
The world didn't stop before broadband came into existence, before computer games, before the mobile phone was invented............
Ok the world ran a bit slower, but that might have been a good thing, but all this crap is about convenience and it has turned people into mindless self centred ignorant selfish idiots that live their lives Governed and Ruled by technology. It wouldn't be disasterous if it all stopped working and people might be a lot nicer than they are now.
admitted that its report was peppered with "gaps in the empirical evidence base".
So, not worth jack shit then.
Like most reports out of Govt
A pile of shite.
Frankly, all this hand-wringing about BT having a monopoly on rural broadband is utter bollocks. We - the potential recipients of said broadband - DON'T CARE as long as *someone* rolls it out before we all die. Perhaps then we in the sticks can finally get something a little faster than 1mbps DSL...
I thought 1Mbps was the government definition of "Superfast broadband".
Short term gain, long term pain
"Frankly, all this hand-wringing about BT having a monopoly on rural broadband is utter bollocks."
LTE may challenge that somewhat, but I can't think of any other providers in rural areas. I'm with plus.net (owned by BT) who can't offer me anything other than ADSL 1 because of decisions made by BT Wholesale who supply the service.
I hear what you're saying. You want broadband and you don't care if you have to play tonsil hockey with the devil to get it, but history teaches us that monopolies don't work in favour of the consumer. If you don't believe this I'd suggest you look into it. It's not just you affected by these decisions.
Short term gain, long term pain. Yay!
Re: Short term gain, long term pain
So are you prepared to pay the full economic cost of providing higher speed broadband in your area, or are you demanding it is subsidised by the state (or other customers)?
And -
- a type 45 is a superpowerful destroyer
- HS2 is a superfast railway
- Universal Credit is a superfunctional IT system
and so on.
The Gov has redefined the prefix 'super' to mean 'utter shite'. What a super bunch of chaps
Re: Short term gain, long term pain
I am personally happy to pay more for more my internet if it means someone gives me a decent service. The "full economic" cost where I live is the price of BT moving my existing phone line from an exchange about 3 miles away down some small country lane where it is pretty much isolated, to an exchange about 2 miles away which is connected to a major town phone network. In fact if they provide the digger, plastic pipes and fibre cable I will personally dig the trench to put it all in.
Superfast broadband is 24Mbps. The other target is that everyone in the country should be able to get 2Mbps broadband.
no, the Government definition of SuperFast is 2Mbps, or 4 seconds to download 1 MB
Why bother reading when you can post crap...
The Governments definition of superfast is neither 2mbps not 1mbps. In that any speed is quoted, it is the former and as a basic broadband speed for where the faster options are disproportionately expensive. So yes, the BDUK funding goes towards 2mbps minimum speed, but nowhere is that termed "superfast".
And here's the exact wording
"Our ambition is to provide superfast broadband to at least 90% of premises in the UK and to provide universal access to standard broadband with a speed of at least 2Mbps."
And you can find the original here
Re: Short term gain, long term pain
Depends on what you mean by the "the full economic cost".
I know the cost of several solutions that would deliver broadband to my area, however their price to individual end users is another matter...
And the very next thing they should do is filter it to hell to protect us from the children*
*or whatever the reason was
(IWF are heroes, I'm taking nothing away from those guys)
They havent invested anywhere near enough in broadband. The joke is that they invest money in the non rural areas where bt and others would go anyway. We dont have roads, broadband or mobile signal. its a big deal nowadays as everything is streaming or online in some way. I think we should get a disability benifit for our crap broadband. we would certainly be more deserving than most people on it at the moment.
"We dont have roads, broadband or mobile signal."
Or high population density. That's why it's rural and relatively unspoilt, and why its uneconomic to offer broadband unless taxppayer's money (which everybody knows is limitless and free) is used to offer a big fat subsidy.
Govt. in the wrong business?
> would return £20 for every £1 spent
That would require those rural users to consume an awful lot of porn. Will HMG then start financing other errr ... "industries" to satisfy this demand from these newly connected folk (assuming their tastes are the same as their urban cousins).
Or will these benefits to the economy be more pedestrian and largely illusory? Such as being able to tell the estate agents that your house in the boonies has high-speed internet, thus increasing its value by 10 or 20 grand?
Re: Govt. in the wrong business?
"> would return £20 for every £1 spent"
Yeah, probably when all those farmers start cooking and selling crystal meth.
No competition
Our local exchange has just been enabled for fibre and they are rolling it out to a couple of cabinets in town.
We however are located 4k away from the exchange and nowhere near the cabinets.
we do have a live fibre connection (which was previously used for ISDN30) to the local exchange unfortunately as Openreach control virtually all of the rural broadband in the country there is no way I can find of getting the fibre, that connects our building to the exchange, used for broadband.
BT did offer me a leased line though at £800.00 per month. :-(.
If you insist that we in the country are termed bumpkins, does that mean we have free reign to call those people who live in urban areas a bunch of c**ts?
Note to Journos. Not every one who lives in the country is a bumpkin (although I know a few) in much the same way that not everyone who lives in urban areas is a c**t.
Except BMW drivers. They are c**ts in the country as well.
Roll out broadband > ???? > Profit!!!!
The argument for expanding business I can understand, but why do children need an internet connection to do homework? Dont they use books anymore? Do they have to email the teachers?
Just because people 'can' work from home doesn't mean they will, for the majority of us 'work from home' means that either you are sick, have a child to look after or can't get to the office due to bad weather or lack of transport, otherwise BAU applies, and most business want most of their employees to congregate within the same building(s).
Not that I am against the roll out, (although am dismayed at the way it has been handled) I just wish politicians would grow some balls and didn't feel the need to justify everything in terms of profit, its infrastructure, just like repairing and building roads, it might not make money, but that doesn't matter, its just what should be done, government shouldn't be run for profit, I pay my tax, spend it on something useful, be cost effective yes, but don't ignore things because they won't turn a profit, and don't try and spin and lie to imply things that won't, will.
Can they not just say "This will cost a bollocks load of money, but it will be useful and good for the country!" ?
Re: Roll out broadband > ???? > Profit!!!!
>why do children need an internet connection to do homework?
Basically, there are a bunch of websites that augment classroom teaching and provide quantitative feedback to the school on a child's progress. Additionally, accessing and collating information from the web is a skill schools are trying to develop, in the same way that we were taught how to use books and a library. But the big user is my son and friends who are currently into Lego movies on YouTube.
>Just because people 'can' work from home doesn't mean they will
Yes home working can be problematic particularly with school age children. I think that whilst only a minority will benefit directly from this, more will benefit indirectly. Remember the "not-spots" aren't exclusively residential, they include shops, small business premises and parks and farms. Also home working is used to cover up the consumer services (eg. Sky, BT, Netflix etc.) that are now become available...
>"This will cost a bollocks load of money, but it will be useful and good for the country!"
I thought that was basically what was said at the very beginning, until the politicians saw the price tag BT put on it, decided that they didn't in fact have enough money and so back-tracked to a point that should, at least, give the majority of the country fibre to the cabinet, and brushed the really expensive bit under the carpet. Having done this they got all excited about a scheme straight out of the 1960's for a superfast train between London and Birmingham...
BT Infinity is here - so says the email from BT
Oh no it's not, and there's no scheduled date either. This location, out in the boondocks, no not quite it's the industrial park next to Gatwick airport
Not to take issue with HM government's math...
But that 20 Pounds will be 50 Pence by the time Amazon's and Google's tax attorneys are done with it. :)
Sarcastic, useless commentards!
You think you know it all! You will criticise anything, just to air your negative attitudes. And yet you haven't a clue what you are talking about.
Did you know, for instance, that Blighty has a HUGE cat video industry?
Did you know that this industry is carrying the hopes of a nation?
Do you realise how important high-speed broadband is to the development of this, and other similar industries?
There is enormous potential here, and if we are to tap into it, we need fast internet. Your government is working tirelessly to provide this Internet so that commentards like you can get rich from the comfort of your home, filming your cat, or someone else's cat (subject to acquiring all the relevant rights), and posting the video on Google, to generate advertising revenue, which is the crux of the new economic model.
So please, think a bit.
(Not too much)
Re: Sarcastic, useless commentards!
We also need more cats which will stimulate the knitted goods industry and as a consequence the Welsh sheep farmers. It's all a ploy from Cardiff.
"It's all a ploy from Cardiff"
And hence the pavement outside our exchange, in a small (pop 2,100) market town in mid-Wales is already marked up for DSLAM and PCP cabinets, due for deployment in March next year according to the rather lovely map at http://www.superfast-cymru.com/where-and-when
Yes, the rollout of FTTC in Wales required a bung of £200 million to BT (http://wales.gov.uk/newsroom/businessandeconomy/2012/6778963/?lang=en), but the same would only buy rather less than 2 miles of HS2 or about 2% of an Olympic Games, and I know which will affect my household more...

And isn't hydrogen gas generation the reason you connect the ground AFTER the positive when giving a car a jump, so as not to generate a spark at the battery that could make it explode (including with very strong acid all over you)? 'course!
What kind of batteries, and what kind of system? Large batteries are way expensive, and won't last very long. How about a generator?
Texan By Birth & Choice
1. Charging a traditional lead-acid battery DOES give off hydrogen gas. You want to have adequate ventilation for that. If you have ever been in a golf car barn, where 25-50 carts are charging at one time, you might notice the BIG gable vents! Keep them away from sources of ignition (cool and dry is good)
2. Jump starting a car- hook positive to positive. Hook negative of GOOD battery to some solid metal part of the car with dead battery- but NOT to the battery. When you make the last connection, you WILL get a spark. You want that spark to be away from the battery.
3. Emergency power- depends on what you want to power, for how long. I have 4 ea 115 amp hr deep cycle batteries, and a 2500 watt inverter. I can run smaller items for quite a while before I need to recharge batteries.
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
C-3 gives good advice. There are ways to put them in your house safety (Vent hoods) that is usually as part of a larger system supplied by an alternative source like Solar, Wind or Hydro. If you move the Batteries outside in a shed (that has AC Power), put it as close to where your going to need it as you can, Distributed DC is high loss even on large conductors and their is still a large enough loss on longer runs using an AC inverter.
Anything of any size (2000 Watts) is not cheap and the chargers/ inverters alone can go many hundreds of dollars if not thousands. Battery backup is tricky if you want it to work, it has to be maintained and used regularly. Our University goes through very expensive batteries in our huge UPS's like crazy because the batteries are not worked or maintained properly. Even well maintained batteries have a certain life-cycle then they are recycle material.
Yes they do pop.Back when I first started turning wrenches one blew on me putting a volt metter on it.Spent a few hours in the er washing out one eye.

Yearly Overview, Love and Career: Sagittarius
By Astrology.com
You're not one to give up on anything without a fight. This year, you need to prove to yourself that you absolutely can do anything your heart desires. You have a friendly nature, and feel very comfortable enjoying the group dynamics of different social scenes. Having high personal values, and being very idealistic, are just some of the reasons why you attract so many gifts and blessing from others -- not to mention having a natural talent for attracting money easily all year round. You will feel deep transformation in your attitudes about money and your personal values, and are seriously thinking about what is important in your life. You may find you may are not placing as much importance on having physical things. Security may present itself through family and friendships instead of through objects and possessions. You desire a deeper connection and emotional bonding with your family, exploring the ideas you have learned from your parents. You will appreciate some of the perennial wisdom that has been passed down to you from your ancestors. By the summer, you feel a new closeness in your relationships and will juggle love and work in order to maintain balance. Personal transformation is far more appealing than outer changes, this year.

CONFESSION TIME: Places you're super curious about but too scared to try. I'll start.......
- b
- Bazza90036 Jan 4, 2013 06:18 PM
What's with that place on La Brea a block or so south of Washington near the 10 Freeway.
It's called Taurus Flavors....has a sandwich board out on La Brea with picture of a bull on it. I "think" it's some kind of Philly Cheesesteak joint. I've been curious about it for YEARS but too scared to try.
Has ANYONE ever ventured in????
Ok that's mine.........who's next???
I guess I've been too scared to try Bludso's (that's the one in Compton, right?); when I was much younger driving into "ghetto" neighborhoods did not scare me, though, as a woman I wouldn't do it alone at night. But since moving out west, and heeding my new husband's warning (15 years ago) "stay north of the ten freeway", I've never ventured (alone) to find out if their BBQ was all that...... Some day I will.... As I've had no qualms going through Highland Park or McArthur Park during the day....
re: Dirtywextraolives
I think the area gets a bad rap. (Yes, pun is sorely intended).
But you can try Bludso's when he pairs up with the Golden State guys in a few months on LaBrea, near Beverly, in the old Tarpit space.
re: Dirtywextraolives
Bludso's is not at all threatening during the daytime, which is best for picking up BBQ anyway. It is a haul on the freeways, but it is located on a major boulevard in an area with retail businesses up and down the street with its own small parking alongside. If anyone finds themselves traveling up or down the 405 just S/E of Long Beach it is a quick exit off the freeway north, or if speeding east or west on the 105 it is an easy exit south. BBQ travels and keeps well, so this is a destination that is well-worth trying out. In my experience the servers, staff, and other customers waiting inside are friendly and welcoming to newcomers who are sampling the goodness.
re: jasongg06
agree 100%, but they tend to run out of Brisket and other things in the early evening so go pick up early.
re: wienermobile
I guess since I grew up in the West Adams area (and never had a problem) thoughts like that don't deter me. Of course I try to be prudent, but I've eaten at Johnny's Pastrami (on Adams, east of Crenshaw) at all hours of the day and night.
I remember being on jury duty in Compton and Inglewood and walking in the area looking for possible eating places. I do recall finding an elderly couple manning a bbq place in Compton and thinking "this must be the real deal." Sadly the worst bbq I've had the misfortune to eat. I'm more intimidated by traffic which cuts down my excursions into SGV to partake of asian cuisine. I find Garfield and Atlantic to have some of the craziest drivers ever. I'm also trying to cut down on long drives with the price of petrol and all that.
re: Dirtywextraolives
<stay north of the ten freeway>
I know so many westsiders who've never crossed over LaCienega & Pico east and south, let alone south of the 10 so I guess I understand the thought process but oh....the food that's being missed and the places you'd see & the fun you'd have... It's one of the greatest things about LA....the adventure and the exploring and the finding.
re: latindancer
I get it, believe me I do. Most of the time, I am on my own, and do a lot of my chowhounding while my kids are in school. Like I said above, I have no problem learning my way around and circling for parking....I used to live in Boston so it's second nature to me. I will definitely be trying them, it just depends on when I can get out there when I am on that side of town. But I appreciate all the encouragement, and I really do want tot support these local businesses with chow worthy food. And thanks to all of you, I know where to find it.... I am eternally grateful.
re: Dirtywextraolives
Glad to hear that other people felt relatively safe during the day, but I'm a man and didn't feel particularly comfortable walking near Bludso's during the day (a feeling that was only intensified when a police car chased another car into the nearby fast-food parking lot and pulled out the driver....).
Having said that, the food is so good that it might be worth the risks.... ;)
re: ilysla
<worth the risks...)>
As with anything in life, it requires risk....although I would hardly describe what you're saying as a risk.
I've seen the same thing happen in Venice and lots of areas on the westside.
re: latindancer
The gentrification of various parts of LA is a relatively new phenomenon (or maybe I'm just older than I want to admit!).
Venice was were you went if you wanted a good chance of getting shot when I was growing up. Just a few yrs ago, I got trapped in a circle mob that was watching two females fight. Even recently, I felt uncomfortable parking a short distance from Larry's (although I very much liked the food). I've scratched my head when I read posts here that try to minimize that Providence is in a bit of a rundown area (or that judge others harshly for commenting that it is). When I was young, Old Town Pasadena was where you went to get drugs, if you lived in the San Marino/Pasadena; obviously, that area has entirely changed, although I can't think of any hugely chow-ish in the immediate area that makes me want to return.
Everybody has a different comfort level regarding their safety. ::shrug::
re: ilysla
I know when I need to be careful so that really isn't an issue with me. I'm not careless, by any stretch of the imagination, however I am extremely adventurous in my life and I'd rather risk things than play it so safe that it seems uninteresting.
I also know where I need to go find the best LA Blues & Jazz and great food to sit and listen to it. By many people's standards, a few in this discussion, I'm taking my life in my hands when I choose to do it. If I live in LA I'm going to feel it, experience it and take it all in.
My belief is that areas that become gentrified tend to lose their character, their soul and, many times, their integrity.
re: Dirtywextraolives
For what it's worth, I'm a lone woman, and I go to Bludso's for BBQ all the time. Go during the day - I've never had trouble finding parking right nearby. Call your order ahead so you don't have to wait, and you'll be in and out in no time. :) I've never felt unsafe there - it's on a major street, and there are other shops nearby with people coming in and out.
Rib tips! :)
re: Dirtywextraolives
another nice one. I've been trying all the bbq joints in greater LA for a year. This one seems to be skipped over and over, it's time to buck the Fk up.
re: GreekChorus
Would Sea Harbour be considered authentic ?
re: wienermobile
Thank you! I will try it soon
re: GreekChorus
Flirting with the cart ladies at 888 is the only kind my wife lets me get away with, because that's the only way we're gonna get the really good stuff and not the "gwei-low-down"... ;-)
re: Bradbury
To be fair, though, the only thing to be scared of at 888 is the parking lot. It's in the top 3 of my "SGV's most terrifying lots" list, with the one at Hawaii Supermarket and the one at the Arcadia Ranch 99.
re: Bradbury
Yep, I always find street parking for 888 even if I have to walk a ways. Hawaii is a real problem. I also have given up going to Trader Joe's because generally they have truly awful parking lots as well - and there is just something about the spacing of the aisles that sort of creeps me out. (The Silverlake Trader Joe's is possibly the worst parking lot in the city of Los Angeles.)
re: estone888
i usually avoid busy parking situations in 626 by getting their 1hr before prime time. While it's true that you may be wasting precious time just sitting around a near-empty lot before their opening time or bz time, you may end up saving more time and avoiding the parking headache by doing so.
The thing I hate the most is when my friends or relatives can't make up their minds and I have to end up driving to or meeting them there during the worst possible hours.. then it's just a "deal with it" mentality lol
re: Bradbury
Hee hee. I get nervous in the Pasadena Cost Plus parking lot and always park on the street. PS - their Swedish Pancake Mix is aweome!!
Really curious about Taurus Flavors too! I just detoured past it the other day just to see if it was still open (it was). Definitely about the sketchiest-looking eatery around. By the way, don't be intimidated by El Nido around the corner (on La Brea), despite it's tinted windows ; )
The one time I went to Woody's Bbq (middle of the day) I was so viscerally uncomfortable I just got it to-go. That area (Inglewood) just has a creepy vibe, one I don't get in, say, San Pedro or Highland Park, despite similar gang/crime situation. Part of it is how busy a place is - JR's Bbq on La Cienega is always packed, and with postmen, cops, whatever, and I'll go there any day.
Heck, I can't bring myself to go to Gjelina either, but that's because of the scene-sters out front and because I can't ever hope to fit in, but the gut feeling's similarly uncomfortable.
Thank you, doctor, I feel better now.
What a unique topic...and definitely a good one. O.K., here I go...I am afraid to go to Park BBQ! There, I've said it. For that matter, I'm afraid to try Soot Bull Jeep, and any of a ton of Korean restaurants that I am really wanting to experience.
re: JeffW
We took my parents (who've never experienced Korean food before) and my then 9 &7 year olds for a special occasion, and everyone had a great time & good meal. Though there were definitely some banchan we wouldn't touch (the little side dishes they give you), overall it was a very tasty and fun experience for all. My kids have been bugging me to go back. So take the plunge, if you're remotely interested in Korean food. It's worth it.
re: jasongg06
For sure, it's an oddity regarding my reluctance to head out for a very authentic Korean meal...Probably 90% of the reason regards communication. Typically I consider the world my "oyster", but I feel clueless how to order up a meal in one of these restaurants. I think it would be an awesome addition to our dining out rotation, but admittedly, I also want to order correctly from the get go, and this has kept me from this experience....Hey, if anyone who's in the know and want's to be a hand-holder to two very nice fellows, I'm a listening!
re: JeffW
at Park's BBQ you and your friend just order 2-3 meats ( I love their Seasoned Gal-bi, the pork belly & Bulgogi (Seasoned Sliced Beef) maybe add the seafood pancake and some grilled mushrooms & you can't go wrong. It's that easy. They cook it for you at your table. Enjoy.
re: wienermobile
Also, in my opinion, Park's BBQ is more user-friendly for non-Koreans than other more mom and pop style, hidden Korean bbq joints.
re: kevin
+1. For those afraid of the more, er, rustic korean BBQ places, Park's is VERY accessible. Well-ventilated, clean and bright, and they speak English very well.
I've had the (female) staff at the more down-home places volunteer to cook for me, I think b/c my friend and I aren't apparently doing it correctly (they usually look both annoyed and caring when doing so). It's a lot like having your own Korean mother. ;)
re: ilysla
re: wienermobile
Thank you so much for your reply. Very much appreciated. Guess the original post was more than an interesting one for me...turns out that now I'm about to dip into the world of Korean foods, other than the Soon Tofu I've been enjoying at lunch. Thank you again wienermobile. Park's now seems "user friendly"
re: wienermobile
They cook the bbq for you? That would be a reason NOT to go. I hate it when they do that.
re: jasongg06
Yeah, I know. I always tell those waitrons at all the KBBQ joints to buzz off. Frankly, I find them really annoying, and their priority seems to be to get you in and out quickly rather than cooking the meat correctly. At some places I have to be proactive to adjust the height of the grill, hot spots (gas or charcoal), etc. If I went to Parks and they cooked the meat for me, I'd be really pissed off.
re: JeffW
i don't speak korean natively so if i don't know how to say the dish, i just use the "point at the number" system to avoid hassles heh
i've never been to park, but many korean bbq places have sets that include numerous types of meats n alcohol. I occasionally go with those just for ease and variety
otherwise, i don't think the workers at park or any korean bbq place in ktown will have language issues since most of their clientele are college students from the surrounding areas. i order in english most of the time
Loving all the replies to this topic. So varied and so interesting.
When I posted, I was really thinking more about the places that I was "scared" to walk into not knowing what I was going to find, rather than the geographic area or the parking lot etc etc but each to their own.
Fascinating to hear what everyone else is intimidated by....but at the end of the day......someone has to let me know what they found inside Taurus Flavors ; )
re: Bazza90036
Is Taurus Flavors even mentioned on Yelp yet ?
re: kevin
Geez. Yes, it is:
Weirdly, there are multiple ones in Chicago, featuring hoagies and ice cream - can't possibly be the same, can it??
Chicago 'hounds - help!?
Ok, here are a couple others for the survey:
- Windowless Russian places (like that "Versai" place on Fairfax)
- Israeli(or are they Russian?) places on Ventura in Encino
Huh. I have no problem walking into any Chinese place in 626 (Omar's anyone?).
Big Wangs for an order of Heart-a-Tots [aka: white trash poutine fries] I'm afraid I might like them too much.
re: foodiemahoodie
I've never gone either, but supposedly now it too is going to be closed for renovations and most likely gentrified.
Hence, it will no longer be what it once was.
I also had a slight trepidation in visiting there.
But the down and out bar is grimy enough for me, and it's cheek to jowl with the alexandria hotel, which hides a hidden treasure, The Gorbals. (Truth to tell, the street in front of the Gorbals was cordoned of with the proverbial yellow police caution tape and we went around the block a few times, after which they removed the caution tape, and we went right into the Gorbals).
re: foodiemahoodie
too late now.
re: kevin
nope, never been. Only sampled their wares @ Gold Standard. Lots of posts on CH about inconsistent service + ridiculous waits for food.
I've been to LOS which was once referred to as "the best thai restaurant in the entire country" and was sorely disappointed. Sorely, sorely disappointed.
re: ns1
Jitlada IS hit and miss...on service, not quality. I've been there many times and gotten my food extremely quick. Other times, I've waited and waited.
Waiting is the hardest part, but once the food does arrive at your table, you totally forget about how long you waited. It's that good.
re: Novelli
I'll second this take on Jitlada. Never had a bad meal, however service is iffy at best. You buys your ticket, you takes your chances.
re: mrhooks
I am a spice wimp too and for me even the mild dishes at Jitada were indeed spicy. We had to run to 7/11 down the block and buy milk after our meal.
re: wienermobile
In response to Wienermobile
Anytime I go I'm sure to tell them "I want it Thai spicy, not American spicy." Never disappoints.
With my nose running and eyes tearing as sweat trickles down my brow, they ask if everything's alright, I say "Perfect! Just the way I like it!"
Although it does help to stop at Target on the way home for a jumbo pack of cool wet wipes for the next day! HAHAHAHAHA
re: Novelli
that's me on "medium" spicy :/ but it feels good haha
re: mrhooks
True story:
I went to Beijing lamb skewer place and went to restroom. Came back and friends ordered already. A few rounds of food later, goat penis comes out.
Whatever, it's here so why not....NEVER AGAIN. NEVER NEVER AGAIN.
I'm okay with penis as long as it's delicious.
In all honestness, I've never been 'scared' to check a place out.
I live in San Pedro and make no hesitation to make numerous trips out to LA, Venice, Compton, Westminster, West LA, Hollywood, etc. If it's good enough or something new I'd like to try, I will take on any neighborhood in any state. i.e. I ain't scared of shit...well maybe bad food, but that's about it. It's all game to me and part of the experience. Hell, it'll probably add to the story!
re: Novelli
I get scared every time I step into any sushi bar where I find that they do not speak english. It has never worked out ever. Now I go to only one specific sushi bar and I gave up going elsewhere for fear of a bad experience again.
re: SIMIHOUND
Wow...very interesting. Where there is such a sushi bar in the greater - or lesser - LA region? Even in Japanese strongholds like Little Tokyo, Sawtelle, or Gardena it is hard for me to imagine a place where "they" do not speak english [sic].
re: Ciao Bob
I would like to know too.
Inquiring minds want to know ?
I'd probably be there in a heartbeat too.
re: kevin
Now I go to Cho Cho San in Thousand Oaks. Years ago when I lived in the SFV I went to the sister location (original location) in Tarzana where they have the infamous revolving sushi. I am told CCS is not authentic but I don't know any better. Maybe I have simply adapted to the ways of Simi Valley where they think that Jerry's is a real deli and Von's has a real bakery. :) Two of my real pet peeves.
re: Ciao Bob
Hey kiddo,
Fun to have just seen your name pop up. We met at a group dinner at Opus some years ago.
Despite my apprehensions -- not out-and-out fears, mind you -- regarding its cleanliness, I'm quite interested in trying the 301 Cafe', a microscopic Mexican spot in the Placita-Old Town neighborhood of Placentia. It looks grubby as can be on the outside; still, every time I drive past it, I plan to stop by for a lunch. The nearby El Farolito, which my husband and I both really enjoy, always seems to be crammed past capacity, and 301 could be a decent alternative whenever we don't want an hour-long wait at Farolito.
Speaking of driving past Cafe' 301: Does anyone know when it's open for business? The restaurant has no website for information, and its Yelp page has no hours listed. (It's always looked closed tight after 5 p.m. weekdays.)
We'd enjoyed several good Sunday dinners at the now-defunct Medina's, another tiny spot that was nearly across the street from 301 that served solid but flavorful food. We're not looking for world-class Mexican fare -- just inexpensive, tasty meals that make us smile. (FYI, I'm a carnitas geek.)
With that, has anyone here been to 301? Please tell me -- and us -- about your experience.
re: Dornfelder
The 301 Cafe has been an infamous hangout spot for students and professors from the University of California Fullerton for decades.
Have no fear, unless you are intimidated by college bros getting their party on.
re: Gypsy Jan
Since my husband and I both own communications/news-editorial degrees from CSUF, I know we'll feel right at home.
During my undergrad days at CWUF, one of my Spanish professors mentioned that the aforementioned Medina's (aforementioned in my previous post in this thread) featured excellent authentic Mexican food that even cost-conscious students should try. Well, a few months after my better half and I got engaged, we sampled and lovd Medina's tasty and uber-authentic fare at Medina's, and immediately put it on our itinerary of favorite spots in northern Orange County. When we learned that Medina's had passed on to restaurant heaven in the late '90s, we were pretty disappointed, especially we'd moved well past institutionalized SoCal gringo Mexican fare by then.
Back to 301, Gypsy Jan: What are 301's hours?
re: Dornfelder
I am not a reliable source for hours since I haven't visited them recently, but in the past they were a dinner hour and late night joint.
Just remembered one - off Washington Pl. (or Blvd.?) west of the 405 there's a very small taqueria just north of Washington on the west side of the street, maybe attached to a liquor store. It looked potentially good but the neck tattoo ratio of the patrons was too high last time I was by - anyone know what place I'm talking about? Tried Google Maps but couldn't locate it.
re: cant talk...eating
Are you thinking of Cinco De Mayo (just on the corner down from Tito's and north of Johnny's Pastrami)? Although it's east of the 405, so probably not.
11204 Washington Place
Culver City, CA 90230
And then there is Don Felix Meat Market and Taqueria next door to Jay's Liquor on the NW corner of Washington Pl and Sawtelle. Don Felix is just next door to Jay's (part of the same building with a tiny little "General Dentistry" place in between) facing onto Sawtelle.
re: Servorg
No - it's actually west of the 405 a few blocks. I'm out there a lot and I'll report back.
re: cant talk...eating
I added another guess (Don Felix) to my post above.
re: Servorg
You got it, Servorg! Thanks. Found some earlier CH posts on it and it sounds great, so maybe I have to just go and try to avoid eye contact ; )
re: cant talk...eating
They changed ownerships a couple of years ago, completely revamped the interior, nice paint and furniture even though it's still pretty bare bones. Nice people, menu is has some interesting stuff in it.
I'm intrigued by their white lamb bbq stew that is now only available by custom order. Unfortunately it's a minimum 10 pounds at $10/lb. I'm trying to round up a group to go in and try it.
Here's the latest info.
re: cant talk...eating
Based on your clues, I was thinking Don Felix too.
That reminds me that I'm seriously overdue on a visit to Tito's tacos.
I am not afraid of places and am willing to go basically anywhere for anything and have - usually by myself.
HOWEVER, I remember once, at one of the Vietnamese places way east on Valley, I pulled into the back to park. One of the employees was back there doing dishes with a hose - no soap!! Sorry, that does scare me. I went to the Mexican place next door!
re: WildSwede
That's the true vietnamese experience.
I want to go to Masa. I love me some great Chicago pizza. it is just a ways away from good ol Simi Valley. I also want to go to Griddle Cafe. Somehow driving about an hour to get some pancakes... well..it is sort of silly . Two places on my bucket list to try.
re: spacemanspiffy
it's overrated and flooded with hipsters, at least the jumbo's of 2013 is.
re: kevin
was jumbo's ever...rated? always felt the diviest of all the local peeler bars, and not in a cool/bukowski kinda way, but in a wow, this place is genuinely sticky kinda way.
the gals were a little...less than, but at least you could drink a real beer.
frankly, i've always felt the vast majority of the appeal of the place lies in the admittedly great name.
re: kevin
Do they even serve food? I googled it and found out it was a bar with scantily clad female performers. Didn't see any references to food or a menu. Years ago I became friends with a guy in a Chicago suburb. Whenever he'd come out here he wanted to meet at one of the (then) 2 Hooters in Orange County. After about the third time I told him couldn't we eat at a better quality restaurant before we went there? Never heard from the guy again.
re: jasongg06
Well, only based on the cost, because once I get that $500 -plus bill I believe I will have a fucking freak out aneurysm.
Unless, of course, someone else is paying, but I highly doubt that will happen.
Otherwise, I'd make a reservation as soon as possible.
re: chrishei
are you speaking of shibucho in l.a.?
i remember being apprehensive about going there. once i went, i thought he was a pretty nice fella.
i was intimidated at first when he said, "what may i serve you?" but that went away once we explained our likes and dislikes.
and, i learned red wine goes pretty well with sushi.
I'm super-curious about the various korea-town hangouts I've heard about serving chow and drinks at three a,m, and thereafter to the gangster crowd.
But I don't read or speak korean and don't want to un-intentionally insult any staff or patrons, only to find myself awakening face-deep in a bubbling cauldron of soon dubu, or with those steel chopsticks that look like assasin throwing spikes hurtling toward me.
And I don't drink Johnnie Walker Blue Label.
BUT -- I've got a 'Bullitt' Mustang that would look so dangerous pulling up to their doorway, and I can say alot with the silent look of trouble-just-arriving. And most importantly, I want to try some outlaw snacks that make the female patrons do a double-take at the new guy (me!).
Where to start my quest?
re: silence9
bohemian is a classic.
re: silence9
I concur with you on this post.
re: silence9
Just buy the house a round of Johnnie Walker Blue. You don't have to partake (order up yourself a Wild Turkey if you want). That'll buy you enough goodwill that no one will mess with your Bullit.
re: silence9
Firstly, sell the Bullit and buy an M3.
Out of the 3 pubs at Chapman, Bohemian has the least edible food, and the least amount of people eating (unless you consider scooping watermelon-soju balls eating). Chapman also has the highest concentration of English-speaking pubs so no one is going to harass migooks at Toe Bang and a y.t. or 2 can often be spotted at Gaam.
Either way, thanks to Bourdain and crew, even Dan Sung Sa, now with an English-translated menu, has plenty of K-town hipsters these days.
I've always been scared to go into El Chubasco on Sunset. Someone told me it was the Mongol's hangout. One of these days I'm gonna strap on a pair and do it though...
re: linus
Neither, it's mostly the language barrier like this guy: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/8848... . Also, the joints are (obvs) not licensed, and I don't want them to think I'm a narc.
So, I happily go back to Yoma to see Joan.
re: linus
not really, but here's a photo: http://distilleryimage5.s3.amazonaws....
email me for addys.
Colima on Cesar Chavez and Broadway, across the street from the Chinatown entrance. Actually got as far as walking in the door once at lunchtime on a weekday. Completely empty, so I bailed.
Langer's Pastrami. I know its the best, but am afraid of the consequences constitutionally speaking.

To bwshook, it is time to put America back to work again as it looks there lowering or keeping interest rates low is not always the solution given fluid global capital movements draining towards those places with higher interest yields and what not. So I propose going back to old fashioned methods of easy business licences on 1-year deferred payment ( free does not always work, and 1-year deferment should be incentive enough ); 2-3 year tax holidays ( for small business only, even as I think the definition for small business is anything up to $ 5 million in gross sales ? ); and to help offset the high failure rate of small businesses, offer roving consultation teams ( - at least 1 accountant & 1 industry specific assistance ...and just so as not to have existing business miss out, they too can request for consultation assistance...) to help out. So there will be the very small percentage of fraud, and what have you. However, if there is even a 50% success rate in the medium term for these new start-ups, then it will go some way to getting the American economy rolling again. As well, those who are running out or have run out of unemployment benefits can be given some short-term assistance with employment benefits, perhaps if employed in the new start-ups.
Obama and the Democrats have bailed out their union friends and their banker friends with taxpayers money. The over-leveraging of government can NOT fix the de-leveraging needed because of too much debt. The states are mostly bankrupt and so is the federal government. Obama's stopping drilling in the gulf and his taxing CO2 will put the finishing touches to the economy. He put unions ahead of bondholders in the auto bailout; why would any sane person invest in any area in the USA when the feds will break ALL the laws to punish investors?
The Great Recession will be turned into the Greatest Depression; it will make the 24 year monster from 1872 to 1896 look like a walk in the park. Hopefully Americans will learn and never trust another socialist social worker as President.
About 2 months ago I began to notice the "seeds" in the economy of the USA that led me to think a double-dip might be a possibility, but only a slight one. Things slowly began to change, in a negative economic sense.
A month ago, I became certain that without a doubt, the USA was in a double-dip recession, and there is no way to avoid it. Every day we've gotten closer, and this past week the final piece fell into place.
How can that be, you ask, when our stock market seems to be bouncing back "strongly in the right direction, and in a quick manner?"; and new jobless claims seem to finally be falling? What about unemployment, holding near steady at 9.5%?
Let's tackle unemployment, first. 9.5% unemployment may sound good to the government (they create the statistic), the media (somewhat good news to report!); and the unemployed (my chances of finding a job soon may be getting better, finally!).
However, true unemployment currently stands at 16.8%. That's the percentage of unemployed adult Americans who are ready to work; able to work; willing to work; are actively seeking employment; and have not been able to secure employment.
Surprised? Why 9.5% vs. 16.8%? Because when an unemployed individual who has drawn on unemployment benefits until he/she has exhausted the amount they are eligible to receive, that person is no longer counted as "unemployed"; they are moved to the category "no longer looking for work". THEY MAY STILL BE DESPERATELY SEEKING EMPLOYMENT, but they no longer count.
OK, so what's the final piece to the puzzle concerning the oncoming double-dip? Stock market performance. They're holding the final rally of the season--the "party before the storm". And they know it. That's why big business are holding on to cash, and why production is still curbed.
Hang on to what you've got. In a double-dip recessionary cycle, the second dip is always worse than the first. That's because so many and so much of our resources have been depleted trying to get out of the first dip. We don't have much, if anything, left to get us out of a second dip quickly. "We ain't seen nuthin' yet."
