Alumni Hall — Fairfield, Conn.
- The Canisius College volleyball team concludes regular-season play with two road matches this weekend, playing at Iona College on Saturday, and then facing Fairfield University on Sunday afternoon.
- Entering the weekend, Canisius has a 13-3 conference record and is tied with Fairfield for first place in the conference standings.
- Last weekend, Canisius clinched a spot in the 2012 MAAC Championship, to be held at Alumni Hall at Fairfield University on Nov. 17-18. Canisius joins Fairfield, Siena and Niagara in the four-team field.
- None of the seeds have been determined for the single-elimination tournament. Canisius can earn the No. 1 seed and outright regular-season title with two wins this weekend.
- Canisius has finished in the top four of the conference in each of the last three seasons and five times in the last seven seasons (2006, 2008, 2010, 2011).

- Canisius snapped a six-match losing streak to the Gaels with the win over Iona earlier this season. The Griffs have lost their last five meetings to Iona in New Rochelle.
- Canisius and Fairfield have split the last two meetings in Alumni Hall. The Stags swept the season series with two five-set wins last season while Canisius swept the season series in 2010. The teams have not split the season series since 2008.
- Dating back to last season, Canisius has won 19 of its last 22 regular-season matches against MAAC opponents.

- Canisius posted a .554 attack percentage in the Nov. 4 sweep of Saint Peter's. That set the program record for attack percentage and is also the best attack percentage by a MAAC school in a match this season.
- Senior Samantha Good earned MAAC Player of the Week honors on Monday, and then was one of 12 players selected by the Collegiate Volleyball Update (CVU.com) as a Top Performer in the country.
- Good had the most productive weekend of her career, averaging 4.71 kills per set and 1.57 blocks per set to go along with a .609 attack percentage and six service aces.
- In the Oct. 21 match against Marist, senior Allyson Severyn became the program's all-time leader in career digs, passing the record of 2,095 set by Jess Stackhouse (2004-07).
- Severyn has been named the MAAC Libero of the Week four times this season. She ranks 12th nationally in digs per set (5.64) and is the fourth player in MAAC history to record 2,000 digs in a career.
- The Golden Griffins rank third in the MAAC with 78 regular-season conference wins since the start of the 2006 season. The Griffs have a .629 winning percentage in conference play during that span.
- Iona enters the final weekend of the regular season with an 8-19 overall record and 5-10 record in conference play. The Gaels have split their last four games, most recently sweeping Rider on Monday night.
- Iona is 6-2 at home this season, including a three-set sweep of Fairfield. The two losses for the Gaels in the Hynes Athletic Center have each been in five sets.
- Catrina Warren is tied for second in the MAAC in attack percentage (.325) while McKenzie Humann is ninth with a .288 attack percentage.

Greetings all
I am currently in the process of throwing together a Clone Trooper Costume (specificly Capt Rex) and im using techniques that may not be conventional, but there something to concider if you want to do a costume but dont have all the stuff or money to get a pro level suit.
I like you have been to a lot of the Cons, and seen the 501st and other orginizations, and there awesome armor. It looks really cool. But lets face it, a lot of us want to have cool costumes like that but dont have the money to drop on a full armor suit, specily in this econamy. And some of us arnt master sculptors and wouldnt know how to put a vac form tabel together if our lives depended on it. Maybe you dont have the money, or the work space.
I looked around the net and found that there isnt a lot of help for those of us who dont have the pro level tools. So i thought id thow together my own little "how to" for everyone wanting to make the cool costume but not wanting (or know how) to make the PVC or Polyform suits.
I will update this thread as i get new parts together, and questions or comments are welcome, im just here to help ;)
K, enough jabbering, lets get going....
1st, The Helmet: Probably the most important part, lets face it, if your working on a costume, specily an armord costume, the helmet is the part that people notice first. Long story short, you cant have iron mans armor and put a cardboard cutout face mask on it, It dosent work.
Clone trooper masks are expensive, iv looked around and the cheapest one iv found was still in the $70 range. And a specilty one like Rex, biiiig money. The Salution? the kids one....
Im serious, I went to Toys R Us and got the Capt Rex clone trooper helmet. It is a FULL helmet, it will fit an adult head (if it fits my melon trust me youll be fine ;) )
The Pros...
Its well vented to, it requires only minor assembly, its a good price (got mine for about $25) very sturdy, pleanty of room for the storm trooper voice head set (it dose come with a static burst voice changer but its kinda weak) Pleanty of room for helmet fans (if you want) and most of all it looks great.
The Cons...
Needs some foam padding on the inside to make it a lil more comfortable, only other con that i noticed, is the one most people notice, The visor is larger then the movie clone trooper. Its true (look at the pics) but to be honest, for the money saved and the time and work saved, its really a small price to pay.
All and all, the Voice Changer helmet is a really good choice if you want to save some money and work.
So that takes care of the first part, im working on the chest and back armor and will update as soon as i have new info.
Feel free to post any questions or PM me with any Qs

Diffusion lines – most high-end designers and labels try their hand at them at one stage or another. Sometimes it's in the form of a capsule collection for a retailer; Zac Posen for Target. At other times it's in the form of a sub-brand; the now defunct D&G as a sub-brand of Dolce & Gabbana.
Fashion label Helmut Lang is following the latter route, with the launch of the Helmut diffusion line.
The Helmut diffusion line brings the soft and drapey aesthetics of Helmut Lang to a cheaper price point, with most pieces in the capsule collection selling between $150 and the high $200s.
The Helmut diffusion line will be available for purchase online via a private sale page.

1991 Jeep Wrangler Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 1991 Jeep Wrangler based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
The throttle position sensor (TPS) may fail causing intermittent drivability problems like hard starting, stalling, and/or hesitation when accelerating. A failed TPS will require replacement, proper diagnoses should always be performed before replacing any parts.
Loose or worn suspension and steering components can cause a wobble or shaking in the steering wheel. It may happen at a certain speed and subside as the vehicle accelerates through the range. Tire balance can contribute to this as well.
The outer exhaust manifold studs can break and cause exhaust leaks, commonly noted as a ticking type noise. The outer studs, clamps, and nuts will need to be replaced and are now being tightened to a reduced torque value (20 Nm/180 in lbs).
Engine oil leaks from the valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket and timing cover gasket are common.
A ticking type noise may be noted from the engine area due to an exhaust manifold that has cracked where the pipes are welded; cracked manifolds should be replaced.
Ignition wire failures can cause a rough idle or intermittent engine misfire and there might not be a Check Engine light.
Some models are susceptible to rear main oil seal failures in dirty or dusty conditions. As dirt and dust collect on the oil seal, the abrasion wears through the sealing surface. A spacer is used between the bell housing and engine that has a small slot in the 12 o'clock position. Filling this slot with RTV silicone and cleaning the seal area can help prevent damage to the seal.
If the clutch is slipping when the clutch disc is 2/3 worn or if the clutch slave cylinder dust boot is torn, there may be insufficient clearance between the clutch slave cylinder and the clutch housing. A 5mm shim is available from Jeep that is installed between the slave cylinder and the clutch housing.
The throttle body may accumulate an oily, black residue in the bore and on the throttle plate causing hard starting or possibly stalling when coming to a stop. The throttle body should be cleaned during regular maintenance but do not spray cleaners directly on or at the throttle position sensor (TPS) as this can damage the sensor.
Due to warped front brake rotors or variations in the thickness of the rotors, brake pulsations may develop. The best method to reduce pulsations is to use an "On the Car" brake lathe (as long as the rotors are suitable for turning). "On the Car" equipment can correct variations (or "runout") in the rotor surfaces because it also corrects variations in other components (e.g. the hub).
2.5L 4 cylinder
If the power steering pump pulley is not installed in the correct position on the pump shaft, the drive belt may make a chirping noise and sound as though it is coming from another component.
The tailgate hinges can corrode making it difficult to open the tailgate.

The two Arsenal academy teams have just enjoyed very successful months and Liam Brady has been impressed with what he has seen so far this season:"The Under-19s have been going from strength to strength," he said. "They have only lost one game this year, that was against Ipswich.
"Don Howe is the coach of that team and they are very well drilled. They are a mixture of under-18s and under-19s and they are doing very well."
"Carlin Itonga has been doing really well for us this season. He has been the main goalscorer in the team. He also got a little bonus by playing for the first team the other night in The Worthington Cup against Manchester United.
"Rohan Ricketts is another one who got a taste of first team football in The Worthington Cup & he is still playing under-19 football as well. There are a few of them who are playing some under-19 football and some reserve team football - for example Jerome Thomas and Sebastian Svard.
"Basically, the make-up of the side has changed a lot throughout the season but we have a lot of good players at under-19 level. They have a winning mentality from The F.A. Youth Cup and they are a good bunch."
As well as experiencing first team football at Highbury, some of the academy players have been representing the respective countries over the last few weeks.
"A couple of them have been playing for England Under-19s recently, Jerome Thomas and Justin Hoyte. Justin has done particularly well because he is giving a year away to the rest of the boys in that squad. I thought he played very well for England the other night.
"We've also got Jeremie Aliadiere, who has been away with the France Under-19s. He is still eligible for our under-19 side but has been with the reserves most of the season. He also got the experience of going over to Germany with the first team for the Champions League game against Schalke, although he didn't get on the pitch.
"Sebastian Svard has been away with Denmark, so we have a lot of the youth players away with their countries as well; it's not just the first team squad who have international call-ups.
Liam is also full of praise for the Under-17 team. Neil Banfield's youngsters have occupied one of the top two places in the league consistently over the last couple of months, after an excellent run of results which has seen them lose just one match since September 15.
Liam said: "The Under-17s have done really well, they have not played badly all season. They had a problem getting a few results early on and then they strung a positive run together and they got to the top of their group. They were a little bit unlucky in two of their recent games. They totally outplayed Wolves and lost a goal in the last minute to draw the match.
"And against Southampton recently, I thought we were at least worthy of a draw. We dominated the second half but couldn't get the goal. But they are playing well and I'm pleased with them. I expect them to do well in the play-offs at the end of the season."
Tottenham are top of the Under-17 table, and are our nearest rivals in the Under-19 group. The Under-17s travel to Tottenham on November 24 and Spurs visit Arsenal to take on the Under-19s on the same day.
Another highlight of November for the under-18 players in the academy is the third round of the F.A. Youth Cup, as the Gunners begin their bid for a third successive title.
But Liam says he believes the squad will have their work cut out to repeat the achievements of the previous two seasons.
"I've said all this season that I'm not as optimistic of winning that as I have been in the last couple of years. It's just the physical strength of our team this year that I'm concerned about. The third round match against Colchester will be a tough test for them."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Heyo, I am shaving the door handles and want to install suicide door hinges on my '72 International Scout II. I have been checking out the ones from Auto Loc which appear okay. They have three varieties, but I assume I'll need the heaviest duty ones. Are there other brands I should check out? Are there any tips you can give me regarding installation? Any suggestions for re-routing the wiring and wire loom? Thanks in advance!
1973 Ford F250 Stepside custom
Give the folks at Rocky Hinge a call at 1-888-539-6295. They manufacture their own hidden-suicide hinge kits, proudly made in the good ole U S of A. I'm installing one of their kits in a customers 94 S-10 at the present time. Very impressed with quality of the workmanship in their product. They also make some very slick billet parts for the Home - builder. Their website is WWW.rockyhinge.com Check em' out
Thanks! I'll do that. What do you think about Autoloc's suicide hinges? They have a couple of different kinds to choose from.
1973 Ford F250 Stepside custom
I can't honestly say one way or the other on the Auto-lok hinges. They might be just fine. There is a slick stainless braided sliding conduit type set-up for running your power wires through the door jambs without letting them bunch-up , also the jamb button system. The jamb button system only works when your doors are closed. I guess it all depends on what you want. Good Luck with your project
Well! It's been at least a week since I posted the additional info for you on your suicide door project, and no reply. I assume that you must have chickened out or just don't appreciate others input or helpful info. Too bad, cause there's a wealth of knowledge on this Truck site, seems a shame to waste it on those that don't appreciate it.
Hi smurf,Sorry about not replying. My builder ended up flipping the stock hinges and reinforcing them. The Good: they turned out pretty well. The Bad: my builder spent way too many hours on fabrication and overcharged me. We have since gone our separate ways. My advice to people interested in doing suicide doors would be to buy some from a reputable place like Rocky or Autoloc... Hindsight is twenty-twenty.

i used the autoloc version about 5 years ago. they are holding up very well to daily abuse.

Will next Washington Capitals leader be a Great One?
Wayne Gretzky did a terrible job managing and coaching the Phoenix Coyotes. That franchise made the playoffs once in his nine years in the Valley of the Sun.
But he is still Wayne Gretzky, so the New York Post reported that Washington Capitals owner Ted Leonsis is intrigued by the possibility of bringing him aboard as team president.
This is the hot fad among NHL owners. Trevor Linden (Vancouver) and Brendan Shanahan (Toronto) took similar roles earlier this season. Briefly Pat LaFontaine (Buffalo) did the same.
Leonsis is seeking new leadership after firing coach Adam Oates and letting GM George McPhee walk. Reports out of D.C. suggest he considering a long list of candidates for the GM role.
Gretzky doesn't want daily oversight of the hockey operation. That's good, because he is not qualified for such a demanding job.
For the moment Dick Patrick is serving as team president. With no GM on board, it's up to him to start remaking the team.
His first move was sending the rights to free agent goaltender Jaroslav Halak to the New York Islanders for a fourth-round pick.
It is unlikely the Next Regime will have the authority to deal Alex Ovechkin, but nobody would be surprised to defenseman Mike Green on the trade block.

Santa Fe, N.M. - New Mexico Film Office Director Nick Maniatis announced today that the television series "Graves," a single-camera, half-hour political satire produced by Lionsgate for premium TV network EPIX®, will return to film its 10-episode second season in Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Bernalillo and Santa Fe, starting this week through July.
Starring three-time Academy Award® nominee and Golden Globe® winner Nick Nolte ("A Walk in the Woods," "The Thin Red Line"), Golden Globe® and two-time Emmy® Award-winning actress Sela Ward ("Gone Girl," "Sisters"), Skylar Astin ("Pitch Perfect"), Heléne Yorke ("Masters of Sex"), Chris Lowell ("The Help") and Callie Hernandez ("Alien: Covenant"), the production will employ at least 200 New Mexico crew members and approximately 2,500 local background talent.
After a year of highly public protests against his Presidential legacy, Season 2 finds former President Richard Graves turning inward in search of the man he used to be before he was President. This journey is compounded by the arrival of his first grandchild, thanks to daughter Olivia (Heléne Yorke) and a new revelation about his son, Jeremy (Chris Lowell). Graves's journey coincides with his wife Margaret's (Sela Ward) Senate campaign, as the former First Lady attempts to build her own political legacy at the exact moment that her husband is tearing his down; and his assistant, Isaiah Miller's (Skylar Astin) search for new direction after taking a bullet for the President in the Season 1 finale.
"Getting to season two is never easy - and when you get renewed, your chances of continuing for multiple seasons increase exponentially," said New Mexico Film Office Director Nick Maniatis. "We like that...more seasons, more jobs, longer term economic impact."
"I welcome and am always excited about the economic benefits film and television bring to Rio Rancho and New Mexico and I very much look forward to having 'Graves' back in our wonderful city," said Rio Rancho Mayor Gregg Hull.
"We're very happy that 'Graves' has been 're-elected' to a second season, and we welcome them back to the Santa Fe area -- where we appreciate shows about politics," said Santa Fe County Manager Katherine Miller.
Produced by Lionsgate in association with Kingsgate Films, Josh Michael Stern ("Swing Vote," "Jobs") is the creator/showrunner, Academy Award® winner Greg Shapiro ("The Hurt Locker," "Zero Dark Thirty") and Rebecca Kirshner ("90210," "Gilmore Girls") are executive producers, Abby Gewanter ("Pushing Daisies") is supervising producer, and Emmy® Award-winning Bill Hill ("Veep," "Eastbound & Down") and Jack Moore ("Dear White People," "Crowded") are producers.
In this EPIX Original Series, President Richard Graves (Nick Nolte), a former two-term POTUS, embarks on a Don Quixote-like quest to right the wrongs of his administration and reclaim his legacy 25 years after leaving the White House. With topics ranging from immigration to gay rights, to foreign policy to public funding for arts and sciences, Graves holds nothing sacred as he unspools some of his administration's proudest victories. His enlightenment takes place just as his wife Margaret Graves (Sela Ward) decides it's finally time for her to pursue her own political ambitions.

Santa Fe, N.M. - New Mexico Film Office Director Nick Maniatis announced today that the television limited series "Waco" produced by The Weinstein Company, will begin principal photography mid-April thru the end of June in Santa Fe. The six part series will premiere on Paramount Network in 2018.
"The Weinstein Company is known for high quality projects with intriguing storylines and 'Waco' is no exception," said New Mexico State Film Office Director Nick Maniatis. "A mini-series means a longer production time, more money being spent and more people working."
"We're very happy to have 'Waco' here, particularly because of the number and variety of locations they're using throughout Santa Fe County," said County Manager Katherine Miller. "From the studios to the rural southern reaches to urban County office space, we're glad to accommodate such a wide-ranging production."
The production will employ approximately 250 New Mexico crew members and approximately 2,000 New Mexico background talent.
"Waco" is directed by John Erick Dowdle ("No Escape," "As Above, So Below") and Dennie Gordon ("Legion," "Power," "Empire") along with producers Harvey Weinstein ("Six," "Project Runway," "Lion"), Salvatore Stabile ("The Sopranos," "Rescue Me," Revenge" "Power") and Drew Dowdle ("No Escape," "As Above, So Below").
Starring Michael Shannon ("Man of Steel," "Nocturnal Animals," "Midnight Special"), Taylor Kitsch ("Lone Survivor," "True Detective," "The Normal Heart"), Paul Sparks ("Midnight Special," "Boardwalk Empire," "The Night Of"), Andrea Riseborough ("Birdman," "Nocturnal Animals," "The Witness for the Prosecution"), Rory Culkin ("Signs," "Sneaky Pete," "Columbus"), Shea Whigham ("Boardwalk Empire," "Fargo," "Vice Principals") and John Leguizamo ("Bloodline," "The Crash," "John Wick: Chapter 2").
"Waco" will reveal the untold story exploring the true life details leading up to and chronicling the 1993 standoff between the FBI, ATF and David Koresh's spiritual sect, The Branch Davidians. Told from several perspectives of those most intimately involved in both sides of the conflict, this story has never been shared on television before and is surprising in its stark contrast to the media narrative at the time and what is remembered of Waco almost 25 years later.
Shannon, Kitsch, the Dowdle brothers and Salvatore Stabile will executive produce the series along with TWC Co-Chairmen Harvey Weinstein and Bob Weinstein, President and COO David Glasser, Co-head of Production Jennifer Malloy, and Head of Scripted Television Megan Spanjian of Weinstein Television. Ted Gold, Senior Vice President, Scripted Original Series and Lauren Ruggiero, Vice President, Scripted Programming, will oversee the project for Paramount Network.

"The card came out as expected! I love every detail on it including the way the picture came out, the font of the writings, the nice border with the matching envelope, and I got to choose all of these. Everyone who got the invitation loved it! This is the best invitation card I have ever seen...simple yet very charming!"
"My sons invites were beautifully done and arrived quickly! The design team was very helpful and fulfilled my desires to make this the perfect invite! Thanks I would use Tiny Prints"
"The design is the perfect balance of color and layout - not over the top, but not boring either. The mix of blues, browns, and greys look really nice on the final product. Used the blue hue for the back, and the pearl finish addition was the perfect touch. I changed the font on the name to be less "flowery" - I matched it to the font used for the rest of the text, and it gave the invitation a nice, clean, look."

The best Hong Kong dim sum
A Hong Kong dim sum restaurant session once upon a time was about tea appreciation. The baskets of delicate dumplings were a foil for the fragrant drink and considered snacks rather than a full meal.
These days, dim sum itself is a protagonist on the culinary stage. The diversity and sheer number of Hong Kong dim sum restaurants is stunning.
Noisy Cantonese joints where people eat with such determination there's a slight madness in the air; gilded, hushed dining rooms where waiters anticipate your every move; tranquil oases hidden on a mountaintop ... we've got it all here in Hong Kong.
We've picked our favorite Hong Kong dim sum restaurants to make it easy for the food-in-steam-basket fanatics. As we say in Hong Kong, please enjoy!
We've come up with 13 Hong Kong dim sum recommendations and so divided them into 3-4 per page. We've stuck a condensed version of the complete list plus addresses on the last page.
Aiya! Did we miss out your favorite Hong Kong dim sum restaurant ? Let us know which one, and why you love it so much in the comments box below.
Best after hours: San Hing (新興食家)
A mix of elderly folk, celebrities and drunk people on a last stop before home share tables at San Hing for a Hong Kong dim sum fix at dawn.
Located in Kennedy Town, San Hing technically opens at 3 a.m., though customers will arrive earlier to secure seats. Especially on weekends, the shop is a madhouse in the wee hours.
Staff frantically churn out a wide selection of dim sum, stacked into giant bamboo towers. Customers are perpetually hovering around the food arrival counter, while an unending stream of new customers mill about looking to snatch seats.
Photographs on the wall show Canto-pop star Eason Chan giving props to San Hing's lau sa bao -- signature yellow custard "quicksand buns."
Other San Hing specialities include quail's egg siu mai, deep-fried milk and various seasonal dishes often not listed on the menu, such as osmanthus jelly during the summer.
The cost is a bargain, with dim sum dishes ranging in price from HK$12-$17.
San Hing has been around Kennedy Town for more than 20 years, though it moved to its current location a few years ago.
San Hing, 10 Hau Wo St., Kennedy Town, Hong Kong China; +852 2816 0616.Open daily, 3 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Best VIP treatment: Fook Lam Moon
The first thing we encountered at Fook Lam Moon was a Rolls-Royce Phantom pulling up at the main entrance, casually letting out a rotund, weary-looking man and his two hungry, young offspring who bounced noisily to the door of the Hong Kong dim sum restaurant as though they were visiting grandma's house.
It isn't called the "canteen of the wealthy" for nothing.
Even though the joint is frequented by the rich and famous, anyone can rock up to Fook Lam Moon and feel like a billionaire.
The service is six-star-hotel-perfect without the robotic-ness. They don't overservice because, you know, celebrities just want to be left alone.
But staff have real charm that they turn on for every customer that walks through their doors. Not just wealthy regulars.
Compared with San Hing above, if you're willing to pay HK$60 for a basket of siu mai, you may as well be regarded as a high-roller.
Yes, it's expensive, but each dim sum gave our tastebuds an education.
Har gau are succulent and juicy, almost to the point of being soupy; their skins perfectly translucent. A signature shrimp cheung fun has a layer of crisp bean curd sheet to add another dimension of texture to an old standby.
The lau sa bao surpassed our favorites at San Hing. The bread casing was barely a centimeter thick and the custard filling would spill out in an appropriate visual expression of its name "quicksand bun."
Fook Lam Moon, 35-45 Johnston Road, Hong Kong China; +852 2866 0663; Open daily, 11:30 a.m. - 3 p.m., 6 - 11 p.m.
Best rural experience: Choi Lung Restaurant (彩龍茶樓)
Choi Lung Restaurant is a three-story family-run teahouse on the waist of Hong Kong's highest peak, Tai Mo Shan. It is a great place to recharge after a hike.
Go early to secure the freshest Hong Kong dim sum experience in this self-service teahouse. Diners have to prepare their own tea and rest on simple plastic stools.
Despite the humble set-up, Choi Lung has been running for more than 40 years with a group of dedicated fans.
"People would drive all the way here from Sai Wan for a bowl of black bean ribs with rice. The rice bowls used to be made of porcelain but people kept dropping them so we switched to stainless steel," says waitress Shek Wai Ling.
We recommend the bean curd sheet wraps filled with chicken, taro and fish maw. The taro is cooked just through with a crunchy outer layer, the chicken is very tender and the fish maw is juicy.
A vegetable stall outside Choi Lung's front door is also well known for selling locally grown produce.
In November, the restaurant will serve fresh watercress purchased directly from the farms nearby, which Shek promises to be "very sweet and rarely found."
Visit Choi Lung at weekends as some dim sum are not served on weekdays, such as the black sesame rolls.
Choi Lung Restaurant 彩龍茶樓, 2 Chuen Lung Estate, Route Twisk, Tsuen Wan, +852 2415 5041. Open daily 5 a.m. - 3 p.m.
To get there, take a taxi from Tsuen Wan station for around HK$60 or take minibus 80 at Chuen Lung Street near Tsuen Wan wet market.
Best value: Tim Ho Wan
The secret didn't last long. When former Lung King Heen chef Pui Gor opened this hole-in-the-wall joint in Mong Kok, those in the know flocked here for top-quality Hong Kong dim sum at rock-bottom prices.
Then came a Michelin star. And the masses descended. A two-hour wait became a daily phenomenon. And that's considered short.
The thing is, Tim Ho Wan is still worth it, wait and all.
Saying the quality is high and ingredients are fresh is an understatement. Simply, this is what dim sum is meant to taste like.
The beef balls are firm but tender, with plenty of coriander. The pig liver cheung fun is impeccably earthy. The siu mai is packed with plump shrimp and succulent mushrooms. The radish cake actually tastes like the white radish it is made from.
Be sure to try the cha siu pineapple buns, which are now widely imitated but never matched. Most dishes cost between HK$10 and $20.
In addition to the original location in Mong Kok, there's a second shop in Sham Shui Po, but the quality there is less consistent.
Tim Ho Wan Sham Shui Po, G/F, 9-11 Fuk Wing Street, Hong Kong China; +852 2332 2896; Tim Ho Wan, Sham Shui Po, 9-11 Fuk Wing Street, Sham Shui Po, +852 2788 1226; Open daily, 10 a.m. - 10 p.m.

Best way to get fat: Tai Wing Wah
Sure, we live in a weight-loss obsessed world, but in Yuen Long, Tai Wing Wah is making a killing off of hearty "walled village cuisine" made with lard.
Punti and Hakka villages that were settled in Hong Kong during the Ming and Qing dynasties were protected by high village walls. The food originating from these walled villages are the focus of Tai Wing Wah's menu.
Hugo "To To" Leung is the culinary brains behind the restaurant and he is adamant about maintaining authenticity.
Also on CNNGo: Celebrity chef Hugo Leung's favorite restaurants
That means, apart from Hong Kong dim sum classics, such as excellent har gau, or a bright yellow and delicious Malay sponge cake, Tai Wing Wah also serves a rustic white rice mixed with lard and soy sauce that is impossibly morish.
Leave your diet at home.
Also on CNNGo: Why we love Yuen Long
Try to get a table and order before 11 a.m. when most of the dim sum costs HK$12.
Tai Wing Wah Restaurant, 2/F Koon Wong Mansion, 2-6 On Ning Road, Yuen Long, Hong Kong nil China; +852 2476 9888. Open daily 6:45 a.m. - 11:30 p.m.; dim sum available until 4:15 p.m.
Best "hot, noisy" atmosphere: Lin Heung Teahouse
Originating in Guangzhou, Lin Heung Teahouse expanded to Hong Kong and opened three branches in the early 20th century.
The one that remains today in Central opened in 1918. Its longevity alone is worth applauding.
Lin Heung's decades-old recipes produce the most traditional Cantonese flavors. Dim sum typical of Lin Heung are siu mai topped with a slab of liver and Chinese sausage rolls -- old-fashioned dishes hard to find anywhere else.
The atmosphere is of classic Cantonese dining. The space hasn't changed much in the past few decades and old ladies push dim sum carts through the dining hall in the traditional manner of hawking.
Diners rush up to the carts to fight over the bamboo baskets of dim sum that just can't seem to come out of the kitchen fast enough.
Service is typically sour, but we find the attitude easy to ignore as we become engulfed in the irrepressibly jovial "hot and noisy" atmosphere (yeet lau) favored by Chinese diners.
Lin Heung Tea House, G/F 160-164 Wellington Street, Central, Hong Kong China; +852 2544 4556. Open daily 6 a.m. - 4 p.m. for dim sum; 5 - 10:30 p.m. for dinner.
Also on CNNGo: Lin Heung Teahouse, dim sum elder
Best unpretentiously posh: Lei Garden
It's Michelin-starred and a haunt for celebrity families, but the atmosphere at this Hong Kong dim sum restaurant is relaxed and unpretentious.
Offering superbly executed Cantonese dishes and very popular for its dim sum, Lei Garden also stands out for warm service. It is rumored the wait staff are trained more vigorously and compensated more handsomely than at any other Cantonese restaurant chain in town.
The plain cheung fun are al dente at first bite and perfectly tender inside; the siu mei is moist and meaty, with a nice crisp snap to the skin of the siu yuk and roasted duck. Lei Garden's har gau are stuffed with fat shrimp and expertly wrapped.
Essentially, it's a procession of Hong Kong dim sum hits, with only a few slight misses, like the underwhelming xiaolongbao.
Dishes cost between HK$30 and $50.
Lei Garden Restaurant, 121 Sai Yee Street, Mong Kok, Hong Kong China; Multiple locations. See www.leigarden.hk for details.
Best cinematic backdrop: Luk Yu Teahouse
Central's Luk Yu Teahouse retains an Old Hong Kong glamour with its art deco embellishments, retro menu and urban legends. It's no wonder it regularly appears in movies and literature.
First opened in 1933, Luk Yu Teahouse relocated to its current location in 1976. The building's colonial façade opens to a three-floor restaurant dripping with nostalgia. Eating at Luk Yu is falling through a time warp.
A dim sum meal easily averages more than HK$100 per person per meal.Some customers are paying for the teahouse's history and ambiance. Others are long-term patrons who stay all day.
Hard-to-find items harkening back four or five decades make up the menu, such as excellent liver siu mai and deep-fried dumplings in soup.
Service is notoriously bad and wait staff are intimidating to non-regulars. So much so that it has become a signature of the restaurant.
Luk Yu Tea House, No.24-26 Stanley Street, Central, Hong Kong China; +852 2523 5464; Open daily, 7 a.m. - 10 p.m.; dim sum is available until 4 p.m.
Best hole-in-the-wall: Saam Hui Yaat (叁去壹)
This tiny pearl of a teahouse is tucked snug into the metaphorical buttcrack of a dilapidated stretch of Pokfulam Road.
Old men without shirts seem to be the primary clientele, squeezing into the grime-covered hovel that hasn't changed an iota since it opened in the late 1970s.
As with most hole-in-the-walls, hygiene is questionable, but the bright flavors of the food draw us back again and again. Besides, we haven't gotten sick yet.
Prices are low, starting at HK$9 per dim sum basket -- "dirt cheap" is a more than appropriate description for Saam Hui Yaat.
Anyone tired of the sanitized chain restaurant dim sum experience should make a visit for the har gau, cheung fun and steamed rice dishes.
Saam Hui Yaat 叁去壹, 11 Pokfulam Road, +852 2547 3917. Open daily, 5 a.m. - 3 p.m.
Best vegetarian for meat-lovers: M Garden Vegetarian
Meat-free dim sum might seem an improbable venture, but at M Garden you won't even notice the lack of animal on your table.
As with most vegetarian Chinese restaurants, the meat here is replaced with bean curd and mushrooms, but where M Garden stands apart is its emphasis on unusual textures that don't slavishly try to resemble meat, like the coarsely packed imitation beef balls.
Even more interesting are the standard vegetarian dishes found on every dim sum menu.
Here, the radish cake is made with mushroom and peppers, then diced and stir-fried.
The steamed egg custard buns are made with whole wheat flour, which gives them more heft and a breadier taste than the usual white flour variety.
Prices range from HK$15 to $25 per dish.
Try to get a seat in the sun-drenched atrium, which is much more pleasant than the dreary interior.
M Garden, 2/F, Omega Plaza, 32-34A, Dundas Street,Mongkok, Hong Kong China; +852 2787 3128; Open daily, 11 a.m. - 11 p.m.

Best sense of community: Lam Kee (林記點心)
There's something about the tile floors, high ceilings and boisterous atmosphere of a wet market food hall that makes a meal more fun than it might otherwise be.
Lam Kee, located in the Tai Po Hui Market's food court, is a casual neighborhood Hong Kong dim sum spot with simple, delicious fare.
The portions here are small, but also inexpensive -- mostly less than HK$10 -- which allows for plenty of ordering experimentation.
Particularly memorable are the bean curd wraps, which contain an assortment of ingredients that work together remarkably well, like baby corn, taro, chicken and spam.
The black bean spareribs are fantastic and so are the tiny har gau.
But the best part of any meal is the company. At the Tai Po Hui food court, patrons sit in a communal dining area. Neighbors run into each other as they head to the food stalls for a break during a grocery run.
If it's early morning, grannies fueling up for an afternoon of mahjong make conversation over a pot of tea.
Lam Kee 林記點心, shop 8-9, 2/F, Tai Po Hui Market Cooked Food Centre, Tai Po.
Best taxi driver's pit stop: Yue Fu Kitchen (裕富小廚)
Dim sum 24 hours a day is taken for granted here in Hong Kong. When we get those midnight cravings, Yue Fu is one of our top choices for getting a Hong Kong dim sum fix.
Taxis are parked outside Yue Fu in Tai Wai every night as the drivers have a meal inside -- it's a sign the food and value are both great.
The most expensive dim sum is only HK$18 at Yue Fu. They only serve steamed dim sum and not every dim sum is perfect (forget about the har gau here). But it is the local way of experiencing dim sum that we are aiming for.
Blend in by sitting outside, washing your utensils in hot water and pouring out the water onto the street.
Dim sum to try are steamed rice with ribs and chicken feet, beancurd beef balls, siu mai with quail eggs.
Go late at night for more choices and don't go in big groups as they usually don't have the space to accommodate all of you.
Yue Fu Kitchen 裕富小廚, 1-3 Chik Shun St., Tai Wai, +852 2698 7278. Open daily 9:30 p.m. - 2 p.m.
Best power lunch: Lung King Heen
As one of Hong Kong's few Michelin three-starred restaurants and a Four Seasons Hotel signature, Lung King Heen enjoys an elevated status.
It's the perfect setting for special occasions: harborviews, central location, crease free white tablecloths. Dim sum as fine dining.
The dim sum menu is full of classics that have been given novel twists. Lobster and scallop in a thin wrapper resemble decadent siu mai. Cheung fun is filled with garoupa. Dumplings are stuffed with duck liver.
The hotel-ness of the place can't be dimissed. Service is a bit mechanical and halfway through the meal, we start craving the controlled chaos of a typical Cantonese restaurant.
But Lung King Heen isn't a typical Cantonese restaurant. It's the kind of place where Jack Donaghy would go for an intense round of negotiations over an aged Pu-erh tea.
Book ahead.
Lung King Heen, 8 Finance Street, Four Seasons Hotel, Hong Kong China; +852 3196 8888; Open daily, noon to 2:30 p.m.; 6- 10:30 p.m.

AMES, Iowa – Cindy Thompson recently joined the ranks of Iowa State University Extension and Outreach as a family life/family finance program specialist in northeast Iowa. Thompson will work from the Chickasaw County Extension and Outreach office in New Hampton.
According to Jeanne Warning, assistant director, ISU Extension to Families, families extension staff typically specialize in one of three subjects: nutrition and health, family life or finance.
"We are experimenting with a new approach to this extension position, which combines two of the three subject matters, because of the local needs identified," said Warning. "We know that the issues and concerns families face are not easily segmented by subject area, so this is a unique position that reflects the interdisciplinary nature of family issues."
More and more county programs are looking for a multi-disciplinary approach, and Thompson will provide them with that through the combined position. There is one other position of its kind, also in eastern Iowa. Susan Taylor has been serving Delaware, Dubuque and Jackson counties in a similar position since last fall.
Thompson received her bachelor's degree in psychology and a minor in administrating child care programs and family life and resource management from Northwest Missouri State University. In 2011, she received her master's degree in human development and family studies from Iowa State University. She has experience with curriculum development, program planning and implementation, teaching and grant administration, all experience that will be helpful in her new position.
"I am looking forward to being on the front end of things related to children and families in the state," said Thompson. "Through this position, I will train and work with the university to provide the communities I work for with the family life and finance expertise they need. I really enjoy networking with both the university and community."

As the son of a naval aviator, I've always appreciated aviation - though I never truly had the drive (nor the capability) to pursue it. However, I noticed at an early age (even back when the Cold War was still goin'!) I definitely prefer the looks of Combloc aircraft. I simply love Soviet/Russian designs.
I was just perusing the 3200 page photo thread over on militaryphotos.net, and scooped up some of my favorites. Anyone else love the rugged utility and brute-ugliness/beauty of these aircraft?

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by tarotx, Sep 13, 2012.
Anyone else Watching?
they spend a lot of time doing not so much, only one audition so far
i wouldnt have turned my chair for girl #1's voice alone but she was really cute
That's probably why Page didn't go to The Voice (though maybe she did and didn't make it past the producers...) She won't get by with just her voice. Maybe they think she might be good in a good group.
Even though I vowed I wouldn't watch again after last season's horrible run, I just love snarky Simon so will tune in again and hope for much better production, and TALENT, this year. Tonight was okay. Loved how they played up the blonde bytch thinking she had so much talent, and you just knew come sing time she would suck big time. heh heh heh, I love it when they do that stuff to people like that. The trio of the 3 boys was catchy and will definitely get the heartthrob vote (and again loved how they played up the "I was in a boy band and toured all over Europe" dude who sucked). What I never get is how the people who are really REALLY bad are the ones who throw the most outrageous tantrums. De Nile ain't just a river in Egypt and I can't believe how people act knowing that this is gonna like .. be on television in front of millions of viewers! First, I don't see how their friends and family don't just flat out tell them "you can't sing don't embarrass yourself!", but then to act the way they do .... I'll never understand wanting to be on TV so bad you would want to humiliate yourself like that forever (YouTube never dies).
I heard Demi Lavato "sang" live on the Today show. Ugh. She and Britney Spears are going to be judging other singers?
I've never understood this type of criticism. I'm not a fan of either of these girls, but why shouldn't they judge? It's not a competition to find the best singer. It's a competition to find a star performer. The two don't go necessarily go hand in hand. I can look back on any decade and point out many popular performers that have questionable singing skills. I can also find many talented singers that have had marginal success because they weren't necessarily great performers.
For the record, I ended up sticking with The Voice. I flipped back and forth for a while, but I was drawn more to The Voice. Not sure if there's a real difference between the shows, but for me there is. What, I don't know.
Well, I don't think they're on the same nights starting next week, but I'm planning on watching The Voice live and DVRing X Factor for fast forward viewing over the weekend. I don't want to sit through the bad auditions.
I watched my DVR copy & I'm confused. I saw young skinny guy sing 1st & Simon told him he was terrible & he got 4 noes. Then crying girl came on & they took 30 mins with her backstory (which I thought was made up - she wasn't fat, she wasn't ugly, she apparently has lots of friends, what was there to bully her about?), then she sang (just ok), then she cried some more, then they gushed over her & gave her 4 yeses. Then they showed people who had gotten through but didn't actually let us hear their voices. Then the 2 hours were up. That was the worst audition show I've ever seen. This was my 1st time of watching. It will probably be my last.
I only saw a little part of the show, but I feel like Emblem 3 are trying to pitch themselves as the Avril Lavigne to One Direction's Britney Spears circa 2002. So silly. Candygirl man and Britney's old duet partner were also painful to watch.
that chubby illegitimate son of liza minnelli and liberace made my night
I watched my tape. I liked Page and the Ooh la la girl.
Candygirl man started out weird and went totally perv the minute he started describing his song. I understand why Britney would feel uncomfortable with him looking at her nevermind his singing.
I wonder what happened to the guy who used to record with her. If he ever had a good voice, he ruined it somehow.
The mini-bieber was forcing his voice way too much. And I hate age inappropriate songs. He's 13, he looks like he's 9, don't sing about love and sex.
I thought it was quite amazing that the bullied girl could sing at all while so emotional. She's not the winner type though.
So far the 13yr. old jazz girl is the best. This show is worse than Idol. The conversation between the selected contestants and their family/friends backstage looks very scripted to the point that it looks so fake. The talent pool is not very deep. Wouldn't it be weird if the over 30's group (if it exists this season) or older contestants were mentored by Demi Lovato?
It also seems that the focus is on the younger demographics. I don't see too many older contestants going through so far. Either that or not many older contestants are trying out after seeing last season.
That young girl was amazing ... hope they find a lot more talent this week
She has talent but I thought there was a lot wrong with her audition. For one thing, you don't belt out a Nina Simone song - it's ridiculous. There was absolutely no soul in her rendition. And she sounded really untrained to me.
Carly is decidedly not untrained. More like a plant. She's a New York theater kid.
To me it seems like they are probably only showing the good contestants that will be highlighted in Bootcamp or maybe even the ones that made it out of Bootcamp.
They are showing too many bad ones making it seem like the talent pool was dead this season. I personally watched/listened to a lot of the video/audio and there was a lot of talent and potential stars. Thank god only 2 more weeks of auditions and then this show got better last season and depending on how much of a reality tv aspect they show, it should get better this season. There was a lot of talent at Bootcamp.
I think I was impressed with Carly because no one else they've shown has been very good. Some not bad, she just stood out as the best so far. I don't think that's saying a lot though. That's why I added "I hope they find a lot more talent this week" So far there isn't much that's impressive.
Anyone know how long the auditions last before they hit boot camp?
Auditions: Septemeber 12-27
Bootcamp: October 3-10
Judges house: October 11-17
Live shows: November 1st-December 13th
Final/finale: December 19-20th
So a year on and correct me if I am wrong but nobody who took part last year made it in the music industry.
Rachel Crow seemed destined to success, especially with all the DESTROYER OF CHILDREN'S DREAMS business. But both her debut EP and her single "Mean Girls" failed to chart (not surprising given how terrible they were).
Melanie Amaro's single is out on the 18th and given how mediocre the song is, I am betting it's gonna meet the same fate.
Thanks tarotx
Thank you for this. I agree- it did nothing for me. My roommate was freaking out and I was just like I never like when people pick that song, its not a bad song its just overdone and never comes across as genuine. Of course she is good for 13, but I am not looking forward to seeing more of her, I am going to find her more irksome than Rachel I think.
I've seen Carly in many professional theatre productions. I know people who have worked with her in NY. She's not going to be irksome...she's always been praised for her maturity/adult-like qualities.
no one in the history of our species as been as irksome as rachel
I forgot about the girl who had been bullied in high school. She cried during her song. I thought she wasn't too bad either.
I've just watched all of the auditions so far.
And now I feel really abused. It's just painful. The show is very entertaining but the way they objectify and exploit people is just beyond disgusting.
Whilst half the auditions are showcasing people who are good at singing and performing, the other half go out of their way to make people look like shit.
When it's somebody like Lexa Berman, you can say that's what she deserved. I mean her attitude was just awful. Funnily enough in her case, the judges were actually quite sympathetic and gave her constructive criticism.
But then there were cases of exploiting clearly deranged people for ratings. Which I guess shouldn't surprise me because that's what X-Factor auditions essentially are but it felt particularly bad this time.
I mean if it's somebody like Quatrele, that is fine. He's not a great singer but he was funny and put on an entertaining show.
Kaci Newton and Vincent Thomas were clearly edited to make them look terrible. And I don't think they are. Vincent seemed really nervous and insecure and talking about his past boyband success was a way to boost his mood. And well he actually recorded and performed with a band that achieved (modest) international success which is something very few people can say.
Shan Armenta is obviously very deluded. Here at least Demi tried to be nice but I'd guess even the most constructive criticism wouldn't help as he seems very detached from reality.
Don Phillip is clearly not with it. He seems very emotionally disturbed, the strange rasp to his voice screams substance abuse and if it's true that they forced him to admit he's gay on the show, totally throwing him off balance as he wasn't out, it's just revolting.
Patrick Ford - obviously clearly disturbed. And Britney was a total bitch and looked constipated throughout when she could have just smiled, thanked for the flowers and said that she appreciates everything but it's not really right for him blah blah blah.
There were some very good performances too but all the above left a really bitter taste in my mouth.
Rachel is still doing acting parts on Nick from time to time. She might be better off in the acting business than in the music business.
no one in the world is as talented as leopard face thinks she is
Is there anything about this that is not totally and completely set up? This Kesha wanna be who started singing a horrible rendition of the Ghost song is now suddenly vamping it up and doing well to Aguilera? This woman was cast, you can't convince me otherwise.
the banter betw contestants sounds very very scripted and then badly acted by the planted contestants
Yes, it was just as obvious as the sketch at the beginning of the show between L.A. Reid, Demi and Britney. I'm sure that conversation was totally and completely real. It just makes me question each and every person who walks on stage and I can't get invested in anyone if I don't think they are real. The entire point, for me, is to see a REAL person with REAL talent go on to be a star. I don't care to see a scripted show where a contestant who was hand picked wins....as scripted.
Ugh, just switched over from the voice, and it feels from substance to going to the shallow end of a wading pool. So much arrogance, and b/s. Yargh

|General Technical Chat This section is for technical discussions relating to general maintenance, electrical issues, engine trouble, and recalls.

Moved to General Technical Chat. This is where you'll get the best maintenance and repair advice. We do have international members who frequently help out in that forum. I'll slightly change the title so they will be attracted to answer.
Thanks for posting!!!
Don't worry about terms, some of us are good at translating British to American English.
|Capt. Obvious!
Most of the people on here are from the US, we don't have the diesel models in the US, all of ours are gas (petrol) unless I'm mistaken. So it is likely that the problems you are having are not familiar to most of us.
The fuel guage could be a number of things, from bad grounding wires to a bad sending unit, or even a bad gauge cluster. changing the sending unit shouldn't be too hard. check under the back seat cushion to see if there is a panel to give access to the fuel pump/sending unit, If not then you just have to drop the tank. I'm not really sure on these cars, either way it's not very difficult. (just make sure the tank is almost empty if you have to drop it, a full tank can be heavy and all that gas sloshing about can make it hard to handle)
The passenger door is likely just something popped loose.
I'm afraid I really don't know about the other stuff, I'd suggest getting a shop manual and giving it a go.
help needed in the uk (1.8 TDCI)
hi all, sorry if my terms are different as im from uk and somethings may not translate if you get me,
i do have some car mechanical knowledge and will give everything a go but cambelts lol, Ive just bought a 2002 mk1 focus with a 1.8 tdi engine? (sure its the 90ps one) it has a few problems which may be easy to fix but thought i would ask the pros before i go all gung-ho and remove everything.
Firstly the central locking doesnt work, ive put a new battery (a cr2032 which i think is correct) but nothing, i read about the re-programming by turning on and of the ignition but i cannot get it to beep as it should? Also if i unlock the drivers door it only opens the drivers door but if i unlock the passenger door it unlocks all except the drivers door.
The fuel gauge is tempermental, one min its on full (which it is as ive tanked it) then the next its as low as it can get with fuel light on. It was on half tank yesturday and went from empty to full to half tank to empty, the bulb is also out behind the gauge (dont know if this is related) would this be clocks or sender? is there any way to test one of the two? how hard is removing the clocks as the bulb will deffo need changing, and how easy is access to the sender unit ?
It has a whiring from the engine i think it may be the aux belt idler pulley but it could as be the bearing what is on the alternator shaft? Does that usually become noisey or would i be correct in thinking its usually the pulley.
It has got an engine oil leak ( for over 3 years as i have previos mots) Its on the front of the engine but from what i can see its quite high up, does any particular seal or gasket go? ive heard about cambelt cover oil leaks but looks worse over to the gearbox side.
the passenger door wont open from the outside - is this just a simple bar fallen of or do fords have adjustments, also how hard of a job is it to remove the doorcards?
sorry its long and theres alot of problems but once these are out the way i can focus (no pun) on the outside and bodywork
regards sam
