Cheapest Dim Sum In Los Angeles?
- Chandavkl Dec 13, 2012 01:44 PM
That honor may well go to the newly opened Ho Ho Fu BBQ Dimsum in Chinatown. I had a regular sized order of beef cheung fun and an order of three baked chashu bao (large bakery sized buns, not the small sit down restaurant sized buns) and my total bill was $2.87, tax included. Now granted this was after the grand opening discount (10 percent, I believe). But the stated tariff for the 3 large buns is $1.49 (same price for all of the "small" dishes such as ha gow, siu mai, steamed bao, and even chicken feet), while the cheung fun varieties normally go for $1.69. Oh--and the food itself. Well it's not Sea Harbour, but it's definitely worth the price. Indeed the baked bbq pork buns were as tasty as they come, though perhaps a little bit sweeter (bun and filling) than we're normally used to. Ho Ho Fu is at 420 Ord St.
I had a regular sized order of beef cheung fun and an order of three baked chashu bao (large bakery sized buns, not the small sit down restaurant sized buns) and my total bill was $2.87, tax included.
That's insane.
Are the landlords in Chinatown offering free rents into perpetuity these days?
re: ipsedixit
Actually I lied. The small items aren't $1.49--they're $1.39 each. 25 varieties including turnip cake, taro cake, egg tart, spare ribs, pork puffs. Portions seemed to be equivalent to the other take out dim sum places.
re: selfportrait93
No, at those prices the local food shelter has competition.
re: Clinton
The lot on College near the Gold Line station is cheap and non-timed. Best for us is just to take the Gold Line.
We'll have to check this place out. The only dim sum I've had in Chinatown was I think CBS, years ago, and it was pretty good but I wasn't paying. Our normal spot is 888, where we usually get stuffed for well under $10/person.
re: Chandavkl
I like yum cha - but I have to say, since they changed their har gow - I don't like them QUITE as much. Smaller, tougher noodles and less shrimp.
Might try this place!
re: jasongg06
Prove it....!!!??? You make me feel like I'm back in fifth grade. Ok, I don't have any photos or got-cha youtube videos to please you, but, I've witnessed things at Yum Cha West Covina that I know I wasn't / shouldn't / supposed? to see.
Anyways, don't let me stop you from enjoying your dim sum cravings at YCC, they need frugal, dependable customers like yourself to keep them from shuttering. Enjoy!
re: ipsedixit
O boy...I hit another nerve.
Again, absolutely nothing is wrong with frozen food. I ate quite a bit of it myself and still do matter of fact.
I am merely stating the quality is NOT the same as freshly made.
There's also rumor going around in SGV that some of the YCC dim sum is actually made in China.
Before you go ballistic....NOTHING is wrong with that too!!! also, I myself have to witness that to believe it.
re: AskHo
What nerve?
All I'm saying is what's the big deal with frozen? Or even premade? At that price point you're not looking for haute, a la minute dim sum.
And yeah I heard that some of their dim sum was imported from China, at least that's what their customer service rep said on their hotline ... after she told me that the Yum Cha Cafe call center had been outsourced to India.
re: ipsedixit
"...call center had been outsourced to India."
This is proof that Ipsedixit has the best sense of humor on CH. I'll be chuckling over that one for a while.
re: Tripeler
: )
Okay - I needed to run an errand in Chinatown today so, I could not resist checking this place out in person! My kind husband found a place to park while I ran in and grabbed some samples of our favs, to compare.
It is small, but there were more tables than I expected. Still, primarily a take out place, as others have said.
I got:
2 orders of har gow.
1 order siu mai
1 order beef spareribs (the chopped up kind)
1 order steamed bbq pork buns (they re-steam so well, we always get an order!)
1 order shrimp rice noodles (cheung fun?)
1 order chicken and rice in lotus leaf
and 1 order of a pork dumpling, the likes of which I'd never seen before, that he said also had peanuts and dried fruit.
As the gentleman helping me with my order rang me up and then realized he'd forgotten the shrimp rice noodle (so I had to pay for that separately, I can't be totally sure of my total - but around $11 - and that's with some of my items being the more expensive ones - but I think he charged me the same price per item. Whee! And he was patient and kind.
My husband comes and gets me, we run a few more fast errands, then it's home to reheat and taste.
Overall - yay.
The biggest news are the shrimp dishes. The har gow (three to an order) are like the ones used to be at Yum Cha. NIce amount of shrimp (chopped) and reasonably delicate rice noodles. Two thumbs up.
Two thumbs up as well to the shrimp noodle. You got three to an order, mostly two whole shrimp per noodle (thought I think one only had one) - and the noodle was fresh and tender. I could have eaten just those.
I only had a bite of my chicken and rice in lotus leaf, so I can't give a full report. It was tasty, a bit underseasoned I think. But still, two of them for $1.39ish and I just add some fresh black pepper and it perks up? Sure!
My husband gave two thumbs up to the siu mai, a decent one thumbs up to the spareribs with black bean. He did not try the steamed pork barbeque as he was full.
The pork/peanut dumpling was not a fav. Not bad, just not to his taste.
And he too liked the shrimp dishes.
We now have enough leftovers for at least another full meal, probably two if we add veggies.
Is it as good as the Rowland Heights places, or some of the great places in Alhambra? No. But it's close, cheap and pretty tasty. My husband thanked me for finding it and I said "Nope we've got to thank the folks at CHOW.
So - Thank you! A wonderful find.

People can place orders before the boat gets in. LSU AgCenter seafood project director Thomas Hymel says Louisiana Direct Seafood has worked so well at the Port of Delcambre (DEL-kum) that the AgCenter and Louisiana Sea Grant got a $560,000 grant to add three more areas. SouthShore-New Orleans includes the area along the southern shore of Lake Pontchartrain, St. Bernard and south to Plaquemines Parish. The LaTer program area includes Lafourche and Terrebonne parishes. Expansion also is planned into the Cameron Parish coastal area.

The above image depicts the chemical structure of the molecule ATP.
Let's talk about the cell again! More specifically, the energy transportation of the cell and a little molecule called ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate). As we discussed earlier, chemical reactions are very important to a cell; indeed, it is one of its basic functions. A menagerie of reactions go on in all of our cells every second; a bond is made, another one broken, some atoms exchange partners, and many other wondrous events that form the quiddity of a chemical reaction. And if you can recall from last time, we found that energy is vital for a reaction to occur. Besides, a multitude of other activities require energy as well: muscle contraction, movement of molecules, reproduction, etc. So, you can imagine that the cell is a prodigious power hungry machine. Depending on the organism, there are an assorted number of ways to obtain energy; some do it with the help of sunlight, some harness the energy of chemicals trapped in our Earth, and some still feed on other organism. But regardless of the source, the energy is still used in the same way.
All the more complex cell obey a principle of compartmentalization, i.e., where tasks of the cell are carried out in specific discrete compartments—known as organelles. Things are not spread out all over the place; rather there are different specialized areas of a cell that undertake different specialized tasks. For e.g., production of proteins are done in ribosomes (an organelle), destroying de trop materials are done in lysosomes (another organelle), etc. This allows for these processes to be localized, and it generally makes the cell a lot more efficient; if the chemicals for the many processes needed for a cell are spread all around the cell, they would indubitably clash and hence, not much would be able to happen.
Before going any further, I would like to expatiate on this discussion a bit more with an analogy. Let's make a comparative between the cell and city again (click here to read more on that). In a city, there is compartmentalization, and specific activities are done in specific areas; manufacturing has its own area, governance has its own building, companies have their own offices, there are separate areas for living, etc. The area that would be interesting for us is the power generation area; it is the area where the electricity, an imperative for the city, is produced. Now, this power—although produced only in the power station—is needed in all areas of the city. How do we provide the other areas with this power? In a city, we would use a power grid; it can transport electricity to all parts of the city.
In cells too, we have specific area or organelles for energy production, e.g., the chloroplasts in leaves, or a mitochondrion. But as noted above, this creates another exigency; the energy produced in these organelles need to be transported to other areas of the cell for proper functioning. We need a method to provide all the areas of the cell with energy. This is where molecule ATP comes in.
Adenosine Triphosphate, or ATP, is the energy currency of the cell. It acts like a battery, containing stored energy that can be used later. It is like the power grid of the city; energy is produced in one part of the cell is stored and transported to all other parts of the cell through ATP. Due to the chemical nature of this molecule, it has immense energy storing capacity. The energy storing capacity of ATP, rest on a basic fact of chemical bonding. To form a chemical bond, we must give energy; to break one, we will get energy. The stronger the bond, the more goes into making it. So, one can store energy in a chemical bond, and break it to obtain that same energy as needed.
ATP consists of a base molecule adenine, and is connected to three phosphate groups. The bond between adenine and phosphate is immensely strong; on breaking it, a prodigious amount of energy is released. This is essentially what happens in a cell. A mitochondrion or a chloroplast produces energy, and packs it into an ATP molecule; this can then be broken by hydrolysis (reaction with water), rereleasing the energy created earlier. ATP is used all throughout the cell; every action, every reaction of the cell requires ATP. It can be seen moving all around the cell.
In this way, the cell adroitly circumnavigates a pertinent problem with a deft solution; a simple application of the simple laws of chemistry to produce benign biology. Therefore, it is no secret that ATP is extremely important to life. Without it, you would literally be starving for energy.

Somewhere in Bluffton today, Tiger basketball coach Kevin Leising has to be smiling.
The results of the 101st IHSAA state boys basketball tournament were released Sunday evening and Leising's crew drew away from class 2A power Bishop Luers by picking up South Adams in the opening game of the South Adams sectional on Tuesday, March 1 at 7 p.m.
"There have been five different Head Coaches at Bellmont, but none of us have made a bigger impact on Bellmont Wrestling than John Friedt," noted current Bellmont coach Brent Faurote on a statement he issued on Indianamat.com Thursday.
A.J. Kalver, one of the key early figures in the growth of the Bellmont wrestling tradition and a man who has been involved in the sport for 50 years, will get his due Sunday at Greenwood when he will be inducted into the Indiana Wrestling Coaches Association Hall of Fame.
Kalver, who coached 15 years at Bishop Luers and turned that program from mat zero to the dominant team in Fort Wayne, has also been involved in broadcasting wrestling for 30 years and served 10 years as a wrestling official.
Adams County will have a strong group of 12 representatives Friday night at Conseco Fieldhouse as the 73rd edition of the IHSAA State Individual Wrestling Finals begins with a 5:35 p.m. Parade of Champions.
At 6 p.m., it will be all business as half the field will be eliminated Friday night.
Two of the 12 face returning state runners-up, and South Adams' TJ Burnfield will meet defending 145-pound champ Eric Roach of Crown Point. A few more face wrestlers who defeated them earlier in the year.
Action in the annual Indiana High School Athletic Association boys swimming sectional will get underway tonight at 5:30 p.m. at Jay County High School in Portland with Muncie Central and Bellmont among the favored teams.
The latest statewide swim poll conducted by Indiana swim coaches lists Muncie Central in 41st position while Bellmont is 52nd. They are the only two teams entered in the Jay County sectional that are ranked.
WABASH — What's the difference between winning and losing?
How about making a foul-line rim-rattler at six-tenths of a second vs. missing a 45-footer off the rear rim and glass?
That's how Adams Central, thanks to Keaton Fiechter's huge final goal, assured itself of a winning 2010-11 season on Tuesday night with a 60-58 decision over gritty Southwood.
"They are all one match away from being a state placer. It's a neat thing to experience the parade of champions and wrestle Friday night, but they are all one match away from wrestling all day on Saturday, and we want that experience for as many as we can," stated Bellmont coach Brent Faurote at the BHS wrestling room Tuesday afternoon.
Senior Bellmont guard Dana Kaczmarek was named to the All-NHC girls basketball squad, first team, it was announced Monday afternoon by the conference athletic directors.
Kaczmarek, who scored 11.1 points per game this season, was the only Bellmonter on the 10-memmber first team, which was dominated by Norwell and Homestead. Each had three selections among the first 10..
Bellmont senior center Madison Schultz was named to the second team. She averaged 10.8 points per game for Bellmont, plus 6.8 rebounds.
"I can't remember ever going undefeated in the ticket round. Going 7-0 .... that was huge," stated Bellmont wrestling coach Brent Faurote after his Braves earned those seven slots in the IHSAA State Individual Wrestling Finals with a flurry of impressive performances.
MONROE—At this point in the season, said Adams Central head coach Aaron McClure after Saturday's 64-37 win over Eastside, you want to be playing your best for several reasons:
•The sectionals loom and, for AC, there will be a challenge with Bluffton and Bishop Luers as potential opponents.
•The Allen County Athletic Conference race is not yet decided and the Flying Jets are 4-2, with one team left to play (South Adams).

It's obviously going to be a paid service, much like the character transfer from one server to another. Why else would development time go into it? High return/easy money.
There won't be any impact on anything other than the population counts of horde and alliance. People will just pay whatever and switch. Why would they do this for free when people would pay for it? Why make a quest (loads more work) when in the end it doesn't really matter. Of course they won't let a Gnome be on Horde because it will annoy too many people (not myself personally included) and would require even more work than they need to do (as mentionned, they will just pay and want a quick process anyway).
Mounts will be simple. They will relate race to race. eg: Human = Orc, Dwarf = Troll, Night Elf = Tauren, Gnome = Undead, Draeni = Blood Elf. So whatever mounts they have will just be switched based on a method similar to above.
Extra stuff will similarily be based on equivalents (such as achievements, items, etc).

Narrow your search
With the new interface and additional navigation features, the Alpine PND-K3 is an improvement over the company's previous in-car GPS, but the expensive price tag is a turn-off, especially when you can get more for less.
Pricing not available
The Alpine Blackbird is a feature-rich vehicle GPS system and entertainment device all rolled into one sharp-looking package, but it hits a couple of roadblocks with its short battery life and sluggish route calculation.
Pricing not available
The Alpine CDE-141 won't blow you away with bells and whistles, but this entry-level car stereo gets the basics right at a competitive price.
The Alpine CDE-124SXM is a great value for those who want to upgrade their car stereo with USB/iPod connectivity while adding very good SiriusXM connectivity.
The Alpine INA-W900 is a solid choice for most users' in-car entertainment and navigation needs, but it will require a few upgrades to match our current favorite in functionality.
The Alpine CDE-102 is an excellent OEM replacement stereo, but serious audiophiles and system builders should look further up the product lineup.
The Alpine iXA-W404 shows plenty of promise, but we'll wait to see if the touch-screen interface improves with the next generation.
For people who listen primarily to MP3/WMA/AAC audio, the Alpine iDA-X305 offers one of the easiest-to-use interfaces for in-car browsing of digital media.
The Alpine CDE-9874 is a good value entry-level car stereo, perfect for those looking to play homemade MP3 discs or iPod tracks. Audiophiles might want to look a bit higher up Alpine's lineup.
The Alpine CDA-9885 combines attractive styling and an easy-to-use music search interface with a host of expandability options, including HD Radio capability. However, those upgrading to HD Radio will have to deal with a clunky module and a hefty price tag.

New York Times Bestselling Author
From America's beloved storyteller, Barbara Delinsky, comes a classic novel of a man and woman following their instincts—and doing what comes naturally…
When Jordanna Kirkland agrees to go backpacking in New Hampshire, she doesn't realize the trip is for men only—and that one of those men would be Patrick Clayes. Not only is Patrick rugged, handsome, and irresistibly charming, he's also her ex-husband's business rival in New York. Jordanna knows she should ignore her attraction to Patrick. But when the nights get cold, those lips of his are awfully warm—and impossible to resist. Why fight it? What happens in the wild stays in the wild, right? The real problem starts when Jordanna and Patrick go back to the boardrooms of Manhattan—but the passion never stops…
SHE RECOGNIZED HIM INSTANTLY. His face was the same, if more mature, with tiny time lines etched into his brow and at the corners of his eyes. Flecks of silver whispered through his thick sable hair. Though thinner than he'd been when she'd seen him last, he was every bit as tall and broad of shoulder. And his intensity hadn't lessened.
"Jordanna Kirkland," he stated, dredging her name from the depths of the past as he soberly stared at the woman whose arrival at the campground had coincided nearly perfectly with his own.

Obesity has turned out to one of the most battle health problems in America. The singular health risk can be linked the inactivity and bad nutrition. Inactivity alone as one of the causes of obesity has been reported to causes the death of 334,144 people in America alone and 2 million deaths all around the world when put together. Inactivity is one of the ten leading global causes of death and disability. According to the release of epidemiological data, it indicates that physically inactive people have an increased commonness of 25 chronic diseases. I could explain further more on the effects and danger of inactivity but as it is you can already form in your mind that this simple thing that many people ignore can cause a lot of problem than imagined. Learn how to lose stomach fat.
Just so you know if you are physically inactive, there are things you should not expect to enjoy as you carry on with your daily activities. A less active person is likely going to have a less push or energy to finish up with his assignment for the day, most especially if the assignment is energy sapping. If you are not energetic in a way that only being physically fit provides, you would rarely want to take part in certain activities that would further promote good health and with such kind of lifestyle which may not start showing the negative effect immediately, as you continue you keep piling up little negative effect that would one day become so big that you won't be able to ignore it. Inactivity doesn't just affect the body; it goes a long way in affecting the condition of your mind in carrying out whatever is kept in your care.

This school has shown an awesome turn around , I've had my daughter here since she was in kindergarten. First off id like to acknowledge all the hard work and effort the principal has done for this school in the past Years. I've seen more after school programs, Better security, academic scores have gone up in general, sports teams have begun & besides in school fundraising events , I've attended their First ever School Dance, Family Karaoke Night . I'll be waiting in anticipation for what other positive outcomes this school has to offer now.
im a parent and my child attends this school. donot send you child to this school. There was a teacher melesting students their transfer out. I suggest that you send you child(ren) to Lincoln drew Elementary. they have a wonderful aftyer school program please send your child to that school!
This school has not provided my nine year old with sufficient programs to meet her development. It does not offer any type of developmental programs such as music, drama, or sports. Last year they offerred cheerleading, yet only about two percent of the parents were willing to buy their kids the cheer uniforms. I feel this school should ofer parenting classes on how we can help the school in building confident and acheiving children. My daughter had three different teachers in one year, was told she was in the 'GATE' program, but it turned out to be an un-organized program where several students had been missplaced and were lacking the the advantage of the program, my daughter was one of those students. I wish I knew how to transffer her out.

My Eating Liberally question this week is about whether is makes sense to put cartoons on vegetable packages to encourage kids to eat more healthfully. I think not, of course, but here's Disney doing just that. Is this a reasonable strategy? Weigh in please.
Eating Liberally: Cartoons on Healthy Foods?
What packages? Vegetables don't need packages.
I propose that parents take their kids to the farmers market and introduce them to the real heroes behind the food–it would be a nice little Saturday for all
[...] Eating Liberally: Cartoons on Healthy Foods? [...]
[...] Marion added an interesting post today on Eating Liberally: Cartoons on Healthy Foods?Here's a small readingMy Eating Liberally question this week is about whether is makes sense to put cartoons on vegetable packages to encourage kids to eat more healthfully. I think not, of course, but here's Disney doing just that. … [...]
It rarely makes sense for people to use expensive marketing techniques on genuinely healthy foods, because real foods have such short value-addition chains, and a robust value chain usually indicated a "edible product" rather than a genuine "food." It sure seems to me that packaging tricks are about branding, and real food shouldn't really be branded in the first place.
But if you COULD get funding in some way other than brand-marketing to market healthy foods or eating habits (from a charity say, or a government agency) it would make total sense to have cartoons be an element of the promotion strategy. If Disney wanted to cut some kind of deal to extend a few of their older copyrights (like to Mickey Mouse, say) yet again, in return for extensive public service use of the copyrighted material, that could be a very good deal for Disney. Contrariwise, if the government finally lets Disney's early characters enter the public domain, (way over due by any sane standard), they might be very appropriate icons for foods that can't afford more expensive marketing gimmicks. Superman is getting close to the public domain too right? Imagine Superman taking a bushel of food from his adoptive parents in farmer outfits, with the caption, "Be a Hero Buy Local Produce: its good for you and good for the community." You could put it on billboards or in kids magazines. It might be quite powerful and effective. Heck DC might give permission for something like that pretty cheap, even before it enters public domain.
-Brian M.
I agree with Anna and Gravel. Veggies don't need packages, in fact, the ones I grow don't ever seem to grow packages. And the ones I see in farmers markets are too beautiful to hide in a package.
I prefer to bring a large, old basket to collect my purchases from the farmers market or the harvest from my garden. It is part of enjoying the food to see the combination of colors and textures.
Instead of cartoons, perhaps we could interest the children in a tasting of 10 or 12 different colors of freshly-harvested heirloom cherry tomatoes or peppers or salad greens. The baby mesclun mix has to look more inviting to them than insipid iceberg lettuce. Carrots come in several sizes and shapes, and beets and radishes come in swirled varieties now. I think if we introduced shildren to the real thing, fresh colorful flavorful veggies, instead of canned or tasteless, they would like what they experience. The children in my family also find it "magic" to grow some of their own. No cartoons needed. Mud included at no extra charge.
This is a tough one. Our kids are marketed to so incessantly that even the most sheltered children can end up wanting branded food and toys. And while that's certainly not an attitude a lot of parents want to encourage, I imagine for lots of people it's the lesser of two evils: buying the overpriced Mickey Mouse carrot sticks to keep the kids away from the Sponge Bob potato chips. Perhaps the branded veggies can be viewed as a stepping-stone along the way to healthier eating and eschewing branded processed foods? While teaching kids about advertising and healthy eating is obviously a huge priority, there is a disconnect between the age at which advertisers start targeting them and the age at which such a discussion would be understandable. So maybe for the interim, Disney veggie snacks could be appropriate for those kids who insist on branded foods?
Though I don't like the idea of excess packaging or in the single brand promotion, I do think there could be much work done in the area of marketing of actual healthy products/habits to kids, i.e. produce,whole grains, eating habits that are more plant-based, breakfast. The ads could be in the schools, on tv/radio/internet and even in the supermarket in the produce section for example. I'm working with GreenStar Cooperative Outreach here and through another organization had Morgan Spurlock (of Super Size Me) to have a photo shoot to promote healthy foods. Posters will be made and put into elementary schools–those who request them.
If it works for the other industries, why not healthy foods too?
I agree that veggies don't need advertising. They need promotion through regular use by families at home and attending locales that sell local produce. My son's preschool has one staff member who routinely attends our public market to buy local (and sometimes citrus in winter) fruits to provide to the children at meals and snack.
I also advocate not having TV! My younger children have noticed the cartoon faces at the grocery, and my older ones are now starting to say, "but that's not a healthy food, right?"

Blown fuse leading to radiator fan. Please help.
December 11, 2010
My radiator fan won't kick on when the car gets hot. I replaced the fusible link and let the car idle for awhile. After 15 minutes or so, the fusible link blew... Need specific advice on how to find the short circuit.
I had a problem awhile back where my 1995 Ford Escort wagon went completely dead and wouldn't start. It had a likely short circuit. I took it to the dealer and they replaced the ignition switch and the neutral safety switch. I got the car back and moved to another city in another state (Charlotte, NC). Now I drive in a bit more traffic and I noticed that the car would get too close to overheating in really slow traffic. Yesterday, I had some time to work on it and I flushed the radiator with a product from Prestone. I flushed it three times and got lots of gunk out. I was quite happy and left the car to idle for awhile to mix the coolant and water as suggested. After twenty minutes, I check on the car and the temperature gauge was dangerously close to hot again (pretty much 4/5s of the way to the end of the gauge).
This morning I looked in the engine fuse box and the fusible link for the fan was clearly fried. I got a new one at Autozone and put it in hoping to solve the problem. When the temperature gauge started creeping up I opened the fuse box in time to watch the fuse glow bright red and then "Pop!"
I have a multimeter so I could try to check for a short circuit. I have been reading all morning on how best to do this, but I am intimidated as I have generally only worked on mechanical bits with cars. I
want to learn how to fix this (the dealer charged me $1000 for the work they did, which really, really smarted), but I am also cautious about electricity.
I have the wiring diagram for the car in a Haynes manual, but I don't have any experience reading the diagram, so I am a bit overwhelmed by that, too. It looks like I would need to check the wires to the starter, to the ignition relay, to the fan itself, to the engine electronic control module, etc.
From what I've read, I need to
1) Disconnect the positive terminal for safety.
2) Cover the positive terminal to prevent accidental contact (any good recommendations for what to do this with?)
3) Trace wires from the fan itself to the ECU to find bad wires.
3a) Unwrap a bit of wire and hook part of my voltmeter up to the wire and another part to the chassis to make a ground. Look for 12v readings. Should I use a particular lead on the wire versus the ground?
3b) Do I start with the fan or trace backwards from the fuse box to the ECU? Does the blown fuse indicate a particular direction to look for shorts?
3c) Do I need to check wiring in other components? The wiring diagram shows that the starter, ignition relay, ECU and fan are all on the circuit...
3d) If the fan is the only electrical thing not working and the only blown fusible link, does that narrow down what I am looking for?
Sorry for such a long question! Thanks in advance for any leads!

You should disconnect the negative rather than the positive. Technically it doesn't matter, but that is convention. (I think it is because the negative terminal is the source of electrons.) Ah! Now I remember why, at least partially. If you disconnect the positive first, almost everything in the engine compartment is a potential path back to ground. Which makes it much easier to accidentally short yourself or your tools. So, at least, always negative first.
Car electricity is different from house electricity. It isn't particularly dangerous the way 110v AC is. 12 volts isn't a heck of a lot of potential, so accidentally grabbing a positive while touching a ground probably won't do much of anything to you. Where it is dangerous is if you short un-fused battery power. If, for example, you accidentally short the terminals with a piece of metal like a wrench, the battery WILL happily send hundreds of amps through that. Creating melting metal and blinding arcs. I like to take the battery out, just to be safe. Because I'm a clutz.
Anyhow, to solve your problem.
0- I remember that Ford had problems with its engine wiring bundles around that time. There was a recall for some cars, not sure if it is yours. You might try and research it and see if it still applies. It is possible it still does and you can get the dealer to solve the problem for you.
1- Was the fan spinning while the fusible link was connected and getting hot? (Not entirely relevant, just curious.)
2- The fan circuit is likely through a relay. The switch or the ECU just sends a low powered signal to the relay, which switches the power to the fan on or off. So your trouble is almost for sure beyond that. The circuit path is battery > fusible link > fuse? > relay > wiring harness > fan > ground.
3- Two things are happening. Either, the fan is faulty and drawing a TON of current through the wires, or the positive wire in the above circuit path is shorted against something.
3.5- Set the meter to resistance and test the two pins in the fan. You should get some non-zero number of ohms. If it is zero, your short is in the fan. If it isn't, spin the fan. Make sure it isn't zero anywhere in the rotation of the blades.
4- So, first, just visually inspect the wire that comes out of the fan. Follow it as it goes to (likely) a larger bundle, and then follow that bundle as it goes back toward the battery area of the car. Look for any areas where it is chafing against something, or perhaps, where it runs along the chassis of the car and there is a spot where there is corrosion on the bundle and the metal of the chassis. It would probably look like rust with chalky white, or even greenish, gunk on it. Might be wet, too. If you see that, carefully open up the bundle and you'll probably see a ton of corrosion and one or more open wires.
5- Failing that, get your volt meter and set it to continuity, or one of the resistance settings. Touch one lead to the metal chassis (or negative battery cable), and the other to one of the pins in the fan connector. It should show (almost) zero resistance. If it doesn't try the other one. One of them should be almost zero to ground. If not, you have a bad ground somewhere. If the BOTH do, you definitely have a short to ground.
6- If you see a short to ground, you need to trace down where that short might be. Figure out where the fan relay is. It might be in the owner's manual where the fuse locations are listed, or possibly in some kind of underhood electrical center. Remove the relay. If you can, figure out which two legs are the load (switching) side, and which two are the coil (control).
Anyway. By removing the relay, you cut the circuit into two halves. The circuit between the relay and the fusible link and then the battery, and the circuit between the relay and the fan. Figure out which side of the fusible link goes toward the battery, and connect one of your meter's leads to the other side of the fusible link. (A set of alligator clips might be helpful in all of this.) Then probe the connector for the relay until you get continuity. Now you know that leg of the relay connector goes from the fusible link to the fan. Remove the lead from the fusible link and touch it to ground. You should NOT get continuity. If you do, you have found where the short is: between the relay connector and the fusible link.
7- If you haven't found the short yet, move down the line. Here is where it gets complicated. You need to figure out which connector on the relay goes down to the fan. Look at the relay, and note the leg of the relay that goes into the hole in the connector that you identified above. If the relay has four legs coming out of it, set the meter to a low resistance setting. Test the other three legs until you find the two of them that show some resistance. Might even show 0 resistance. Those two are the coil (control) side of the relay. The fourth leg is the one that feeds the fan. Look back at the connector the relay goes into and identify the hole it plugs into- this is the circuit to test next.
(If the relay has 5 legs, it gets more complicated. You need to test all combinations- two of them will show zero resistance, two other ones will SOME resistance. You need to find the one that does not have any connection at all to any of the others. That's the one that goes to the fan.)
8- Same as above. One end of the meter in the relay connector, the other probes the connector to the fan. You should get (almost) zero resistance for one of the connectors on the fan, and shouldn't get any continuity on the other one. If you do, your short is between the relay connector and the fan connector.
So, when you find where the short is, you will need to open up the loom of wires and visually inspect them. If you are lucky, you will see worn or cracked insulation, which you can repair with electrical tape. Done. If the wires are in really bad shape, you might have to cut the bad ones out and replace them. Lots of soldering and shrinkwrap.
My brain is now melted, it is your turn!

GJC advice is really good and how to correct the problem, but it is very time consuming. What i would do is buy a new (used) fan at a junkyard. I bet ford used this same fan for a bunch of cars. Hook it up and see if that fixes the problem. While you are getting the fan out of the junkyard also grab a relay (usually stuff like that is free if you are buying something already and always free if it a pull it yourself place). If either one of these parts don't fix it than you need to start doing the process described by GJC, or if the parts cost more than about 50 bucks for me, but you have to decide on the value of your time, and hell sometimes I just do it for the experience or to avoid chores i DON'T enjoy.
This one time, when my car was a beater Subaru brat, when i had the exact same problem, and the fan was good, I just clipped the fan wires at both ends of the harness, and hardwired the fan to the battery then to a toggle switch I mounted in the dash of the brat. I just had to watch the temperature gauge closely. This is not necessarily a good idea, but it was cheap and I couldn't find the damn short for several hours of looking. If you aren't the type to be able to keep track of the temperature when also driving in heavy traffic this is definitely a BAD idea as an overheated engine can be totally destroyed.

Thanks a heap! That was completely awesome!
Could you MeMail or Email me (both are in the profile)? I'd like to be able to shoot you a quick question or two if I need to... If you'd rather not do that, that's fine, but if you're up for it, I might like to pick your brain (I'm a teacher, so I know questions/answers can take a long time, so I would try to minimize it).
Bartonlong, thanks also! I do have a local pull-a-part, which has several Ford Escorts in stock, so I might check out what I can get there as needed.

Neulio Platform for User Generated Training Videos
New Neulio Platform Optimizes Online Instruction by Enabling Multi-Lesson Audio/Video Courses with Integrated Quiz Builder.
UPDATE – Looks like they've gone BYE BYE
Neulio has announced the launch of a public beta of its new hosted platform for user-generated training, instructional, and how-to content.
Unlike existing sites for instructional content, Neulio enables users to create multi-lesson courses comprised of video and/or audio files. Neulio also provides an integrated quiz builder that supports multiple question types. In addition, it incorporates standard Web 2.0 tools such as rating, sharing, and commenting. Users wishing to learn more about Neulio or to host content on the new beta site are encouraged to visit www.neulio.com where an overview is available to quickly train beta testers in posting courses and lessons online.
"Neulio captures YouTube's accessibility and ease-of-use, but on a platform designed specifically for instructional material," said George Colombo, Neulio's founder. "Creating multi-lesson courses is now as straightforward as posting a simple video. With Neulio, sharing sophisticated instructional information just became something that anyone can easily accomplish."
Neulio's web site is free for users to view and post content. The site will host training material on virtually any subject, from music instruction to remodeling projects. The company's patent-pending Course Composer allows posters to create multi-part, multi-media lessons, complete with quizzes and password controls for integrating online content with classroom instruction.
In addition, the company offers Powered by Neulio, a private-labeled version of the company's patent-pending technology. Employing a "software-as-a-service" delivery model, Powered by Neulio is an ideal content sharing and training platform for businesses, schools, and other institutional users.
"Neulio has the potential to be a real industry game-changer," noted Cheryl Currid, president of Currid & Company, an IT research and consulting firm. "They've made it quite easy for users to create instructional content that's surprisingly sophisticated."
A client company of the University of Central Florida's Technology Incubator, Neulio was founded in early 2007 with offices in downtown Orlando. Neulio can be found online at www.neulio.com.

thinking a lot today about the gross sexualization of queer people and lesbians in particular.
two girls were dumped in an extremely unsafe location on the side of the interstate at night by a cab driver who was offended by the fact that they were gay and they kissed a couple of times. They also had a friend in the back seat with them.
here are some choice excerpts from the comments:
"In fact, depending upon the action, I'd wager most cab driver would gladly drive them to their destination but very slowly — "Sorry ladies, there's an accident on the freeway ahead. We'll have to take the much slower surface streets… and don't mind this camera."
The only thing that might make this situation better is if they were wearing loose clothing and a cat fight broke out too."
"There is likely more to the story than just a kiss or two. I can only imagine the tawdry scene that the poor cab driver was subjected to when he looked in his rear view mirror. Now the guy is being villanized because two sexually confused individuals were likely engaged in extremely erotic behavior. "
and obviously, the list goes on. i wish people could live their lives without everything little thing becoming part of some old white dude's fucked up porn fantasy.
"I was holding her hand and we kissed a couple of times in the back seat, minding our own business," Shanako Devoll said. "He made homophobic remarks that were very hurtful to us. We did not want to be in his cab."
also, the commenters on this article are literally the worst.
Hey Portland folks! My name's Sarah and I'm a 23 year old queer lady currently living in Seattle. After living several places in the past few years (California, Massachusetts and Washington) I've decided to make the move back to Portland which is where I grew up. I've yet to find a place that I love more.
When I move back I will be working as a barista (what I've been doing for the past couple years since I graduated from college) and working on starting an antiques business with my mom. I like vintage things, old buildings and houses, trips to the coast and going on hikes. I used to surf and snowboard when I was growing up in Oregon but haven't gone in a long time. I'm hoping to get back into it! I like to make things and I'm trying to learn more craft and woodworking skills and hoping to put them to good use with various projects.
I'm moving back to the city in August and I am not in need of immediate housing/roommate. I would love to be able to find a roommate and an apartment or house by September, October or November, depending on what's for rent out there. If you are not also looking for an immediate roommate situation, this might be great so we can take some time to get to know each other.
What I'm looking for in a housing situation:
- 2 bedroom apartment or house
- My budget is $800/month possibly more if I get a second job.
- Preferably somewhere in inner SE in the Belmont/Hawthorne/Laurelhurst area. Possibly NW or some parts of SW, although I've found those areas to be more expensive.
- An older apartment/house. I like places with character and charm. Do you like built-in cabinets and wood floors? Me too! I'm willing to pay more to not live in a 1960's box.
Things I'm looking for in a roommate:
- I'm queer, but you don't need to be as long as you are queer friendly.
- Ideally, I'm looking for just one roommate who is interested in settling down in a place and not in a super transitional place in their lives.
- Someone who respects personal space. I'm totally okay with having people over, but I'm not one for hosting parties in my own home. I also love hanging out with my roommate, but also enjoy lots of personal time. Like to spend a few hours every day reading in your room or doing art projects? Great! So do I.
- Somewhat tidy - Sometimes I can be a bit cluttered, and it's okay if you are too. I just appreciate someone who can clean up their own messes or who have no problem helping clean communal areas from time to time.
- Someone who has similar taste in decorating as I do. This sounds weird and picky, but I'm working on an antique/interior design business, so I do a TON of decorating because my apartment is usually where I show things off. Want to know what I like? Check out my tumblr or my instagram for pics of my current apartment.
- Someone who is totally OK with the fact that I am not vegan or vegetarian. I like to prepare most of my meals myself but am totally down to make meals together sometimes!
There's a few other things obviously, but if I sound like a good match so far, please feel free to contact me and we can chat more about what we're looking for!
Me: Okay so if orientation is a choice, choose to be gay, right now.
Him: No.
Me: Why not?
Him: Because I don't find men attractive
Me: So CHOOSE to find them attractive
Him: ……. I can't.
Me: Sorry, WHAT was that? You CAN'T????
we need to get beyond this argument that being gay is not a choice, because guess what? for some people it IS a choice. I do know women that have chosen to be lesbian because they feel safer with women than with men (one of these women went through A LOT of trauma as a child). We can argue all day and night that we deserve equal rights because we didn't choose to be this way, but the real thing is that that shouldn't matter.
this is AMERICA. you should be able to choose to be in a same sex relationship just as you should be able to choose to be asexual, heterosexual, or single. By stating that its "not a choice" we'll forever be butting heads with the religious and explaining ourselves forever. the basic fact is, however, that we shouldn't have to explain ourselves. our personal lives are just that and it doesn't matter who we love, we just want equal rights. end of story.
amen. biological determinism sucks. my life shouldn't have to be proven scientifically or any other way. stating that being gay is not a choice will not only lead people to forever question that and try to prove you wrong, but it also excludes tons of people.
as for me, i don't really care if my loving a woman was nature vs. nurture. i spent a lot of time worrying about this when i was first coming out; I worried that i was being influenced by listening to tegan and sara and the people that i was friends with who were mostly lesbian/queer/trans. i was scared to come out because what if i wasn't really gay? what if i was just subconsciously becoming gay because of all these other influences? was i really as gay as the girls who figured out that they liked other girls when they were 3 and i didn't until i was 18? and then i decided "so fucking what" because i shouldn't have to prove my gayness and why i like girls. saying that people can only be biologically gay ignores and invalidates tons of peoples' experiences where that may not be the case and makes them feel like that they will never be gay enough or make them forever question whether they have the elusive "gay gene." it's stupid. people should be able to do what they want. it IS a choice. we are all autonomous people.

This is huge. Portland is now the third municipality in the country to provide trans-inclusive care to their employees, and Oregon is a clear leader in the national effort to end insurance discrimination against transgender communities.
I'm so happy that Sam Adams is doing something right with his idiotic ass. At least one of our communities is being served and treated equally while the other ones, including people of color, are constantly being pushed out, overlooked, and ignored in a city that screams "diversity" and remains 78% white. Three cheers for trans*-inclusive health care! Three cheers for Portland figuring shit out on the queer front! Three prayers for the people of color in this city…
it's so good to actually read good news in my dash.
i read the mercury's coverage of the city council meeting about this awhile ago. i'm also glad it passed. re: the second person who commented, i'm also glad sam adams is doing something halfway decent in the city. now how about low income housing, increased shelters and other social services? oh and paving all those roads out in east portland would be nice, too.

1. this story is pretty ridic in general, although the woman does look like a 14 year old boy.
2. the opening line is ridic offensive. has the writer even seen boys don't cry? cause i'm pretty sure brandon teena wasn't just trying to get in the pants of 16 year old girls when he was raped and murdered.

If I remember correctly, I got my novice license back in the late 70's (WH6AHZ). My first rig was a Ten Tec Argonaut 509 and remember working the world with 5 watts and a dipole. My first elmer was KH6CI Bill. Today, I still try to recreate those charisma filled early ham radio experiences. Either way the journey is still filled with fun and friends. 73 & Aloha from the Hawaiian Islands.
2011 & 2012 has come and gone. Was hoping 6m would open to Africa and Europe but no cigar. It's now 2013, 6m is barely so-so here in KH6. Ocasionally I can hear the Wake Island beacon, but I could go on my roof top and throw a rock and hit the beacon antenna hihi. So the 6m 7 ele yagi has come down and a 6m 4 ele in it's place. For HF, I was using a Butternut vertical, and it was ok. I recently took it down and put up a wire V-beam, cut for 1 wavelength @ 20m. Tell you what, the receive is fantastic. But right now, trying to tune it for low vswr for transmitting, it is finicky and I now have rf getting in the shack. So I have some work cut out for me. Got to figure this one out.
I also inherited my grandfather's car, a 1968 Mercury Cougar, and my wife bought me a 1955 Chevy BelAir 2 door sedan project. So I'm keeping busy. I try to spend time on 15m in the afternoons, 20m early eves, then 40m mid eves. Then when the 40m lull rolls in, I listen to 80m. So if you need a QSO with KH6, gimme an email and lets talk.
If you would like to QSL, please send to : POB 662 Aiea, Hawaii 96701
Thanks and Aloha !
