What travelers to Hong Kong are saying
Hong Kong Hotel Deals with Hotelclub.com
Stay in our Hong Kong hotels and discover the self-proclaimed World City of Asia. Known for its peaks, skyscrapers and harbour, Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated areas in the world. Influenced by its Cantonese and British heritage, Hong Kong is now fast becoming the new tech hub of China.
Hong Kong was a British colony for around 150 years until 1997 and is now a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China. The city has long been a trading hub and is currently one of the world's leading financial centres. This history has created an amazing city of contrasts.
Whether you are travelling for business or leisure Hong Kong is sure to delight with its intoxicating mix of old and new, East and West, technology and tradition. However you want to play it, Hong Kong is the place for tamer tourists and eager explorers alike.
Hong Kong's Top 10
10. Disneyland If you've come all this way, you may as well. But really? At your age?
5. Victoria Peak Hong Kong Island's highest natural point and therefore the best place for a great view of the city and it surrounds

4. Avenue of the Stars Pay tribute to the 'stars' of the Chinese film industry, with a light-and-sound show.

3. Tian Tan Buddha Literally a massive (23m), bronze statue of the big man himself.
7. Hong Kong Museum of Art Every city has an art gallery. But not every city displays modern Chinese Art quite like this one.
2. Apliu Street Market Get away from the shops and buy something old that you'll keep forever.
6. Central Escalator The world's longest outdoor people-mover. Did we mention it moves you past bars? Lazy drunks welcome.
1. Ocean Park Disneyland's cooler older brother with scarier rides and an animal park. In your face, Mickey Mouse!

Hong Kong Local
At the (you guessed it) centre of Hong Kong lies this forest of skyscrapers, stretching heavenward in a symbolic representation of the city's ambitious industry. It is the business district of Hong Kong, but also contains a wealth of tourist attractions. A stroll through the district will have you craning your neck as you look towards the concrete canopy, but you'll be rewarded by the sight of the Bank of China building, one of the tallest in Hong Kong.
Then just when the looming buildings and crowded sidewalks become overwhelming, you'll stumble upon the bizarre inner-city oasis of Hong Kong Parkand the Botanical and Zoological Garden. Indulge your inner shopaholic on Li Yuen St East and Westfor a bargain or Cat Street and Hollywood Road for Chinese antiques. SoHo is the area within the Central district for restaurants and entertainment, so make sure you stop in for a bite. The locals call it 'Rat Alley', but don't let that put you off.
Wan Chai is located on the North Shore of Hong Kong Island and is an intoxicating mix of business and pleasure, history and innovation, old and new. The Pak Tai Templeis a historical jewel in the region's crown, as well as the Old Wan Chai Post Office, which is the oldest surviving post office in Hong Kong. Central Plaza, the second-tallest building in Hong Kong (if you're impressed by such things), dominates the area.
Its Clock Tower light show (displaying four neon bands that light up, one at a time, every 15 minutes) seems gaudy and laughable first thing in the morning. But late at night, when the brain is buzzing on bar juice, well… it's the coolest thing you've ever seen in your life!
And speaking of mind-boggling attractions… Happy Valley is a racecourse surrounded by city lights that draws gamblers in their thousands. Even if you're not betting (and we recommend placing one for the sheer thrill of yelling yourself coarse at the fillies), the sheer excitement and bizarre spectacle of all those Hong Kong locals and mainland interlopers hanging hopes on horses is worth a look.
Looking out to the South China Sea, Hong Kong's Southern District is a tourist's haven of sandy beaches and, of course (would it be Hong Kong without them?) shopping complexes. Chinese and international tourists alike flock to Repulse Bay(which is, happily, much nicer than the name suggests), Deep Water Bay and Stanley. For a thrill-seeking, adrenaline-pumping experience head to Ocean Park, or check out the massive Stanley Marketand find all your souvenirs in the one place!
Eastern District
Hong Kong's Eastern District was once a ramshackle bundle of fishing villages centred on Shau Kei Wan, which translates literally into 'pail-shaped bay'. These days it is a metropolitan centre, proudly displaying its attractions along the Eastern District Tourist Trail. Shau Kei Wan Street East runs through the area, and while it is now dominated by sky-scraping apartment buildings, in the early 1900s it was a hideout for pirates.
Though you mightn't catch a glimpse of Long John Silver (or even his Chinese brother, Long Chong Silver), you'll be able to see some of the original restaurants and shops that remain from that era. The Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defence is another important landmark to take in – and for a truly chaotic cultural experience, head down to the Shau Kei Wan Wholesale Fish Market and try to dodge scurrying and industrious traders, a cacophony of barked orders and hazardous flying shark fins.
Hong Kong Eat & Drink
Now listen up: Hong Kong is not all chicken feet and monkey offal (though if you do come across it and have a strong stomach, you should try it for bragging rights). It also plays host to some fine-dining restaurants, dinky food stalls, markets and a busy nightlife. Whether you're starving and rich or puckish and poor, check out these hunger-busting haunts.
Petrus Bring that special someone for live piano and luscious French Cuisine. Romance provided.
Good Luck Thai Situated in the party district so keep the wine flowing.
Felix: Dress to impress and enjoy the wacky interior, stunning views and the world's smallest disco! This is no place to Nutbush! Kowloon
Temple St Night Markets Sample from stall to stall then settle in for a beer by the harbour.
Nha Trang Cheap and chic perfection. You like Vietnamese? Pho sure!
Cafe Deco Situated on Victoria Peak, is it any surprise the views are the best around?
Luk Yu Tea House Crank your Dim Sum experience to the max.
Maxims Palace City Hall:Get ready to queue for the best traditional Cantonese buns in the city.
Café TOO Buffet Don't eat breakfast. And leave the skinny jeans at the hotel.
Top Deck, at the Jumbo A floating restaurant! Chill on the water with live jazz and seafood so fresh it's practically twitching.
Hong Kong Events
January/February brings a new beginning with Chinese New Year. Absolutely not to be missed if you're partial to gold, red, dragons, lions, parades, fireworks or any combination of these things.
The Spring Lantern Festivalmarks the end of Chinese New Year and sees hundreds of coloured lanterns appearing across the city. Gorgeous.
March sees lots of men wandering around dressed in rugby shirts and drinking lots of beer. Why? The Hong Kong Sevens leg of the worldwide rugby union tournament is in town. Go for the rugby, stay for the entertainment, fall down from the beer.
Never say no to a festival! April brings us the Tin Hau Festival (The Fisherman's festival) and hundreds of pimped-out boats into the harbour and around Tin Hau temples.
Lan Kwai Fong Beerfest parties its way through May with floats, bands and, well, beer!
Late May brings the International Art Fair, with artworks from over 250 of the world's best galleries on display.
June 6 sees the world-famous Dragon Boat Festival. Get up early to secure a good position for the actual Dragon boat races. But even if you can't be bothered doing that, there's plenty of food, entertainment and an all-round party atmosphere which belies the reason for the festival—it's all to commemorate Qu Yuan who drowned himself in the Mi Lo River in protest against corrupt rulers over 2000 years ago.
As July roles around, get your geek on for the Animation Comic Game Festival. Includes nerd-talk, gaming competitions and the mandatory trekkie set.
The International Arts Carnival pops up each August, featuring everything from circus acts to ice-skating to live comedy.
Hong Kong's answer to Woodstock is in October. Rockit is Hong Kong's only outdoor music festival.
Round the year off with the Hong Kong Cricket Sixes. After all those beers and chants you'll need to rest up. Chinese New Year is just around the corner.
When To Go
The seasons are not exactly extreme in Hong Kong, making it an ideal year-round destination. Peak tourist time is autumn (mid-September to mid-December), when it's generally warm and dry.
What To Miss
It's considered OK to drop litter in the city (even though it feels so wrong!), but don't dare dry a stunt like that on Hong Kong's pristine subway system! Strictly no eating or drinking.
If you're taking the bus, you need the right money. Don't expect to be given change.
Sundays. For some Hong Kong residents it's their only day off. Avoid the heart of the city and the Peak if you want to move any faster than snail's pace.
Getting Around
Public transport is generally pretty efficient and safe in Hong Kong. Grab an Octopus card and get moving:
Bus. For longer trips there are a number of buses. Tickets from the airport to just about anywhere are around HK$30 to $40.
Trams. Ride the tram around the city or out to places like Happy Valley for only $2. It's slower than the MTR but with beautiful views.
MTR. The world's cleanest subway and with an automatic ticket sensor, you'll get where you're going and feel like a robot!

MASSENA State police on Tuesday arrested a Norfolk man after he allegedly lied to authorities about a home invasion as a cover for a drunken rampage.
Nathaniel W. Dodson, 31, faces charges of second-degree burglary, third-degree falsely reporting an incident, issuing a false written statement, unlawfully growing cannabis, unlawful possession of marijuana and tampering with physical evidence.
Troopers said Mr. Dodson was home alone on the afternoon of April 26 when he entered a house mates room without permission and stole liquor. He then became intoxicated and caused unspecified damage inside the house, troopers said.
When Mr. Dodsons wife came home, he falsely informed her that two unknown males entered the residence, assaulted him and caused damage, troopers said. Her name was not released. She then called 911, relaying to a dispatcher the information Mr. Dodson was telling her, state police said.
With police en route to the home, Mr. Dodson hurriedly destroyed some marijuana plants he had been growing, troopers said.
He later gave a false written statement concerning the incident, according to state police.
Mr. Dodson was arraigned in Massena Village Court and committed to the St. Lawrence County Jail, Canton, in lieu of $15,000 cash or $30,000 bond.

Netflix witnessed a storm of customer outrage and tumbling stock prices this month as they dramatically increased their price for subscription to the service. Early this morning, CEO Reed Hastings reacted with an email to customers. The email started, "I messed up. I owe you an explanation." And an explanation did follow – not only about why the price hike would continue, but also about how subscribers would now be paying for two services, Netflix and Qwikster, if they wished to continue with the full set of features previously provided. I predict that this latest move will lead to even more problems for the company.
I am a longtime subscriber to Netflix and enjoy their DVD and streaming services immensely. Sure, I was irritated with the dramatic price increase just like many other customers. But I accepted it and opted to continue receiving their services. The latest change has led me to reconsider my options, however. I enjoy movies and television, but do I really need to subscribe to more than one independent service provider for this? I never saw a reason to subscribe to Hulu plus or Amazon Prime for their video services because Netflix was already meeting my needs. So why should I subscribe to both Netflix and Qwikster? I shouldn't and I now intend to update my video subscription service accordingly.
What Netflix must realize is that my decision to opt out of one service has little to do with its actual price. Hastings makes clear in his email to customers that "There are no pricing changes (we're done with that!)." Rather, it is my perception that has changed. I do not want to pay for two very similar video services. And I predict that many other customers will think and react similarly. Consider research addressing the effectiveness of partitioned versus bundled pricing. Sheng, Bao, and Pan (2007) state, "It is profitable to partition a total price into two separate parts only when the surcharge is relatively small compared to the base price, or the surcharge has a well-justified purpose. Otherwise, an all-inclusive price might generate higher purchase intentions, thus increasing demand." Not only did Netflix partition its prices in such a way that has already proved to drive away customers, but they now want us to continue our patronage through two independent service providers. And away go another group of subscribers.
I hope that Netflix has thought about this issue more than I have because it is likely to have long-term consequences for their success as a company. Dramatic price hikes this month drove enough customers away. Making it psychologically easier for us to forgo their services is unlikely to make things better.

Archive for the '1961 Rambler' tag
Family albums 'n four-speeds – Corvairs, Volkswagens, Pops and more
We've got a whole mess of great family album car photos for you this week. Starting with our friend Hugo90, frequent commenter here and contributor to the Hemmings Nation Flickr pool, where he shared the above photo.
My brother Jim, on the left, was a new engineer at GM Milford Proving Grounds then. The old Corvair guys showed him all the stuff they had done to Corvairs that never got close to being sold. It was one beastly good handling car. That's a '60 Mercury behind it. The grille peeks through.
This is Christmas 1969 in Longmeadow, Mass, at our parents' home. That's me in the middle and Tom on the right.
Next up, DougD, of Dundas, Ontario, Canada, shares this photo of himself amid a yardful of interesting cars.
My Dad gave me this print of an old slide from a Sunday afternoon at Grandpa's in 1970. A pretty diverse bunch of cars.
That's me at 3 years old getting some early VW experience in my Uncle's contraption, which he actually drove on the street. Also in the back row L to R is Uncle's 1961 Rambler, Grandpa's 1965 Valiant and Dad's 1960 Pontiac. Mom later knew I was going to be a car guy when I stood at the window, bawling and waving to the Pontiac as it was towed off to the scrapyard. The red car is a real oddity, 1967 Isuzu Bellet. I've never seen one since.
Over on the My Hemmings pages, weswon shared not only a vintage pic of his father's 1967 4-4-2, but also the story of how he bought it back, still in unrestored condition.
When I saw the car, he told me that it has passed through 3 different hands since my dad sold it. I nearly dropped to my knees when I saw it. The car was in its original unrestored condition with the exception of an engine rebuild. The car had all of the original equipment with the exception of an upgraded stereo. There was surface rust on the car and all the minor dings and minor dents from when my dad sold it was still there. No new dents, just oxidation and rust. The car was pretty straight and the interior was still original with no tears or rips.

The second group of MGH Research Scholars – recipients of unrestricted five-year grants to support innovative investigations – was announced at the hospital's Research Advisory Council (RAC) annual meeting on May 11.
2012 Research Scholars announced
FORWARD THINKERS: From left, MGH supporter Steve Gorlin; John T. Potts Jr., MD, director of Research and physician-in-chief emeritus; Hacohen; Alter; J. Keith Joung, MD, PhD, a 2011 Research Scholar; and Szostak
The second group of MGH Research Scholars – recipients of unrestricted five-year grants to support innovative investigations – was announced at the hospital's Research Advisory Council (RAC) annual meeting on May 11. The eight recipients were selected from among 96 applications by a committee led by Nobel Laureate Jack Szostak, PhD, of the Department of Molecular Biology, and Bruce Walker, MD, director of the Ragon Institute of MGH, MIT and Harvard. The 2012 MGH Research Scholars are:
The Research Scholars Program grant was launched last year by the Executive Committee on Research and the RAC through a $10 million challenge grant from an anonymous donor. The program is designed to give forward-thinking MGH investigators the flexibility to pursue research into unexpected areas. Funds raised by the MGH Development Office allowed an expansion from last year's group of five recipients.
"Today, when biomedical research is on the threshold of unparalleled advances, the need for philanthropic support is greater than ever," said Samuel O. Thier, MD, former president of the MGH and Partners HealthCare, at the RAC meeting. "There has never been a better time to invest in biomedical research."

I use these glasses for tennis in sunny San Diego. They work well in the brightest situations. However, the last pair like these I had broke at the nose piece after one year. Will give them one more chance.

I'm impressed. This product does what it claims -- helps increase contrast so the ball appears to stand out from its surroundings. Overall, I think the workmanship is quite good (I've owned Bolle products before and have never been disappointed) and these sunglasses are reasonably priced. I'd certainly recommend this product without hesitation. However, I'd suggest waiting to use one of the Sports Authority coupons, which really sweetens the deal.

Saturday night, the Arizona Fall League held their annual prospect showcase – the Rising Stars game. Two of the game's better prospects, Cincinnati's Billy Hamilton and Washington's Brian Goodwin shone brightest. It featured only one Met, LHP Chase Huchingson. Huchingson faced two batters: issued a walk and induced a groundout.
He was an odd choice to represent the Mets in the game as he was neither a "name" prospect nor had been effective in the AFL. In fact, in his six AFL appearances, he had walked nine and fanned four in 6.1 innings and allowed seven runs, six earned for a 8.53 ERA. If the AFL, wanted a situational lefty, they could have turned to Adam Kolarek who had an 8/4 K/BB ratio, but had yielded 13 hits in his 8.1 innings of work.
The fact that neither CF Darrell Ceciliani (.234/.315/.340 for a .655 OPS in 13 games) nor Cesar Puello (.232/.317/.268 for a .585 OPS in 14 games) merited inclusion on the squad was fairly damning.

There are many security guards on and off duty, so if there is ever any question, they give you the number to program into your phone. They also have nifty little blue lights that you can stand by to get the security guards to take you to your vehicle.

Great for these types of students
OTC is a great facility for those students with kids, families, and jobs. As long as you prove to the professors that you are willing to do what it takes to pass, you will be fine.
Bang for the buck
I began at OTC as a Sophomore in High School, therefore I didn't have to spend a dime on tuition.
What to do for fun
The fun part about OTC is that there are a lot of familiar faces. People from all around town attend. Going out for lunch and chilling between classes keeps your head in the game.
Food and Dining
There are vending machines and snack areas all throughout the campus. Athough, this is a technical college, not an University.
Dorm Life
There is no dorm at OTC. Normally students live close to the facility.
Academic Rigor
As long as you do your homework and study, you will have no problem making A's. The students and faculty there will help you along and along. Again, all you have to do is ask.
Tips for prospective students
Make sure, when you take the entrance exam, you use everything you know. If you don't, you will end up in a class, bored to death because you already know the material.
In three sentences
Okefenokee Technical College is a great school. The staff is friendly. They are very helpful, all you have to do is ask. This is not the ideal college to go off to, but keep in mind, everyone has to start somewhere.

I am currently taking the Networking Specialist program and even though I have been in the field for 10 years I still find the curriculum very challenging, which is a good thing, because when I graduate I feel I will be ahead of the curve
Tips for prospective students
make sure you start the enrollment process as soon as possible ( like the first day open enrollment starts) to make sure that you can get all the paperwork filled out properly and all the financial aid stuff applied for, especially if you have to take the Compass ACT exam
In three sentences
Solid Curriculum offerings and a faculty/staff that are caring, dedicated, and experienced in their field of teaching, make OTC an ideal place to further your education.

MLS Playoffs
There was a point Sunday afternoon in which things were looking pretty good for the Fire's positioning in the East. DC United had just suffered a somewhat controversial 1-1 draw at home to Philadelphia while due north Bright Dike and Darlington Nagbe had put the West's bottom team Portland up 2-0 at New York.
Of course Kenny Cooper and Tim Cahill had pulled the home side back level before halftime, the Timbers flubbed two breakaway chances and Heath Pearce headed home the winner in the 83rd minute to push New York back into sole possession of second place in the East.
Later on Sunday night, Columbus used goals from Cole Grossman and Eddie Gaven to erase a 1-0 deficit but had to settle for a 2-2 draw when Andy Gruenebaum muffed Adam Moffat's 82nd minute equalizer.
WATCH: Red Bull 3, Timbers 2
The result meant that the Top 5 in the Eastern Conference closed the weekend the same way they entered it, effectively pushing the Fire back down to fourth place (losing the goals scored tie breaker to Houston).
All this is by way of saying its going to be a scrap or as Brendan Hannan put it this morning, a "real dog fight" the rest of the way in the Eastern Conference. With 10 matches remaining and five of them against the other four in the Top Five, the Fire control their playoff destiny and seeding perhaps just as much as anyone in the East.
"[Playoff qualification] is in our hands," head coach Frank Klopas told Chicago-Fire.com Monday. "They're all obviously difficult matches because most of the games we play are going to be against teams that are going to be right there until the end. Its exciting but I think we feel good about having those games at home and having the opportunity to control our own destiny."
While Montreal and Columbus still have a shot at the postseason, popular opinion has the top five now remaining the top five come October 28 making a "mini-league" of sorts the rest of the way for the Fire, Sporting KC, Red Bull, the Dynamo and United.
See below the "mini-league" grid of remaining matches between the East's top 5 teams.

@ 9/19
@ 10/20

vs. 8/22
@ 10/27
When looking at the chart, two things undoubtedly stick out...
1) No that's not a mistake, the East's top two teams Sporting KC and New York, will play eachother three more times through the end of the season. Depending on how their other matches go (something that will continue to be a common theme), the Conference's top seeds could well be decided in those three games.
2) The Fire are the only team in the Top 5 that will play everyone around them and have two games against D.C., meaning the team seems to have the best shot of controlling it's own destiny in the tight playoff race. With 15 points available in these matches, if the Men in Red can take anywhere around 11 or 12, they could be in very good shape for a top two finish.
Either way, the Fire manager reiterated the game of most importance is the one upcoming.
"It's up to us," continued Klopas. "We don't have to rely on other teams like we did last year but the most important thing is to not look too far down the road and so our next game against D.C. is what we have to hone in on right now."
#6 - Chicago Fire 2, Tampa Bay Mutiny 0 - April 4, 1998 - MLS Regular Season Match - Soldier Field, Chicago, IL
In their first home match in Major League Soccer history, the Fire were taking on the now-defunct Tampa Bay Mutiny at Soldier Field. With a hearty crowd of 36,444, the Fire would deliver results on this spring night. Frank Klopas got the first goal of the match in the 43rd minute, with an assist from Zak Ibsen. Klopas would score again in the 88th to secure a brace and lead the Fire to their first home victory. The total combination of the inaugural home game, a 2-0 win, and two goals from the Fire's future coach would make this a match to be remembered.
#5 - Chicago Fire 1, New England Revolution 0 - November 14, 2003 - Eastern Conference Final - Soldier Field, Chicago, IL
The Fire outshot rivals New England Revolution 20 to 7 in this physical Eastern Conference Final. With neither side scoring in regular time, the match went into extra time. It took until the 101st minute for the Fire to score, off the back of a run from substitute Justin Mapp toward the goal line. Mapp cut the ball back, passing to the center of the six-yard box. Damani Ralph then attempted a weak shot, but it surely would have been saved without captain Chris Armas there to finish it off. At the time, the golden goal rule applied, meaning that the game was complete and the Fire were Eastern Conference champions.
#4 - Chicago Fire 2, Miami Fusion 1 - October 21, 2000 - Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final - Soldier Field, Chicago, IL
In the 44th minute, Fire legend Ante Razov broke past the Miami Fusion defense on a breakaway. After drawing out the goalkeeper and dribbling past him to the side of the six-yard box, Razov centered the ball to Hristo Stoitchkov. Soitchkov easily slid the ball past one defender to score the first goal of the match. Later, Fire favorite DaMarcus Beasley streamed down the left wing, beating his defender. Beasley put a low cross into the dangerous area in front of goal and Fusion defender Tyrone Marshall mistakenly knocked the ball into the net for an own goal. While the Fusion would grab a goal through Welton once before the match was finished, the Fire had put in enough effort to win the match, counting them as US Open Cup champions for the second time.
Stay tuned later this week for the final three matches in our #Fire15 Countdown... Check out our previous countdown videos below:
Memorable Matches 7-9
Memorable Matches 10-12
Memorable Matches 13-15
In our third installment of the #Fire15 Memorable Matches countdown, we look back to the 2009 Eastern Conference semifinal vs. New England, the 2003 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final at the MetroStars and the 2001 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup semifinal at LA Galaxy.
#9 - Chicago Fire 2, New England Revolution 0 - November 7, 2009 - Eastern Conference Semifinals, Second Leg - Toyota Park, Bridgeview, IL
In the first leg of the 2009 Eastern Conference Semifinals, the Revolution defeated the Fire 2-1 at Gillette Stadium. In the 35th minute, Marco Pappa received the ball in the box, feinted past one defender, then laid the ball off to John Thorrington, who shot it low into the New England goal. The superb crowd of 21,528 roared in response to the aggregate equalizer. In the 82nd minute, Patrick Nyarko beat his marker near the corner flag and rushed parallel to the goal line toward the box. After drawing out the keeper, Nyarko nutmegged another defender and passed short to Cuauhtemoc Blanco. Blanco took a short step forward and lifted the ball up to the top right corner to push the Fire to the Eastern Conference Final.
#8 - Chicago Fire 1, MetroStars 0 - October 15, 2003 - US Open Cup Final - Giants Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ
The 2003 US Open Cup Final took place at Giants Stadium, where the field was lined with football markings. In the 68th minute, Evan Whitfield broke in from the right sideline through the end zone, centering the ball to Damani Ralph. The Jamaican forward needed only one touch to slide the ball around MetroStars goalkeeper Jonny Walker. The Fire would only need one goal to be rewarded with the US Open Cup for the third time.
#7 - Chicago Fire 2, LA Galaxy 1 (aet) - August 23, 2000 - US Open Cup Semifinal - Titan Stadium, Fullerton, California
This physical match resulted in a total of 12 yellow cards between both sides. Fire defender Carlos Bocanegra earned a red card in the 51st minute, putting the Fire down a man. LA Galaxy icon Cobi Jones would score the opening goal in the 79th minute. Down to ten men and trailing by a goal, it surely seemed that the Fire's run in this US Open Cup was extinguished. However, the Men in Red rallied through Fire legend Ante Razov, scoring in the 85th minute. With the score level, the match went into added time and in the extra frame the Fire would lose captain Peter Nowak after Luis Hernandez purposely stepped on his face but referee Sergio Vega only produced a yellow card. Still without Nowak the Fire strung together 10 passes before Josh Wolff buried a rebound to send the side to its second U.S. Open Cup final in three seasons.
Last week we began our #Fire15 countdown with Memorable Matches 13-15. This week we continue with Games 10-12 as we work our way towards the club's 15th Anniversary match to be held Wednesday, October 3 against the Philadelphia Union at Toyota Park.
#12 - "CHI-TOWN BEATDOWN" - Chicago Fire 3, New England Revolution - November 6, 2008 - MLS Eastern Conference Semifinals, Second Leg - Toyota Park, Bridgeview, IL
Prior to this match, the Fire had tied New England 0-0 at Gillette Stadium in the first leg of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Playing at home for the second leg, the Fire found their way to driver's seat just before the half when, Cuauhtemoc Blanco's shot from the edge of the box forced New England goalkeeper Matt Reis cough up a rebound. Chris Rolfe put himself in the right place and casually knocked the ball into goal to give the Fire the lead.
Four minutes later, Justin Mapp's perfectly placed free kick toward goal found the head of Wilman Conde who pounced on the chance with the header to take things to 2-0.
The Fire would put the match out of reach when Chris Rolfe's cutting low cross was calmly finished by Gonzalo Segares, giving the Toyota Park crowd 16 minutes to sing about going to the team's seventh Conference Final appearance in 11 seasons.
#11 - "THE FOURTH OF JULY MASSACRE" - Chicago Fire 7, Kansas City Wizards 0 - July 4, 2001 - MLS Regular Season - Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, MO

lol not the first time that's happened eh?? i find it funny that they decided to do an emergency evacuation of the plane..
Captain's call. There's an APU running in the tail of that airplane and could have posed a real problem if it became damaged. Some checklists call for an evac only if necessary. If there's no fire or smoke then maybe just a quick deplaning would be enough. You have to be there to judge.
I didn't see nor hear, nor read anything about an emergence evac., only that everyone deplaned.
Not only is an evac slight overkill but to reequip 5 or 10 main doors with certified escape slides if they are available will be extremely time consuming and expensive, take it from me, I was the R&D engineer on this equipment when we developed and certified it in 1970.
Updated link, story is posted:
As the SWA had only 41 pax on it from KLAX-KLAS yesterday, this Eagle only had 18 on it. How are deals like those supposed to make any money? Surely that can't be an all the time deal and nobody catch it?
I wonder this too. The only way it works is if the aircraft has a good load out of the next stop. The system is fluid and you can't look at a single leg and make a case from it. A company's combined load factor takes into account the empty legs.
Check the Flightaware Airling Insite for the American Eagle flight and you will see this flight averages 81% of the seats filled.
sorry, my glasses didn't catch the spelling error, Airline Insite not Airling.
Looks to me that the RJ was not parked properly - he is sticking out into the taxiway. The 747 is taking the correct track. Lousy parking job!
Does that mean two wrongs make a right? A car runs a red light in front of you and you don't slam on the brakes and hit him because he's wrong and you're right. Duh!
will maybe the RJ was NOT cleared into the gate duh
If we are now discussing other incidents, lets not forget the recent Air France A380 clipping and Delta (I think it was) CRJ. Now that was a hit as the video showed how violently the CRJ bounced and slid around.
That was a dandy. I think the CRJ pilot told the tower to roll the trucks. I think he was (or should have been) clear the taxiway but nowhere near a gate and that 380 slid him around pretty good. You are correct in that it was a CRJ but I don't remember exactly what.
Yes, it was a CRJ. I think it might have been a -700 but the video is poor that shows the actual event.
oops- Dupe Squawk! Someone beat me to it..
Don't feel bad. It's up to like 8 duplicates now.
Looks like minimum damage to both aircraft. It appears they must have just touched each other. I am sure there maybe some bent metal, but nothing appears costly and serious.
ouch the pilot on the american eagle plane was smart he saved passengers from injuries :D
What a big bully.
By looking at the clip, the 47 knew he was close, and the RJ looks like he was waiting a the gate. Looks like the fault of the 47 being in a hurry. LOL, the updated story says "No delays were reported.", LOL, that says nothing about Cancellations!
Interesting; the story says the Eagle was headed toward gate g20 and that the cargo plane was headed to Anchorage AK. Your link to the tribune says the Eagle had arrived at the gate and the EVA had just arrived from AK. I'll take the tribune.lol. Funny how 2 people can look at the same thing and see something totally different.LOL Just FYI: on the video from your link it does look like the Eagle was at the gate.
I watched the video and the RJ was clearly at least 1 1/2 plane lengths from the "jetway". The seat belt sign wasn't even close to being turned off. I've never flown a 74 so I don't know what the visual range is from the right seat, but I suspect the cockpit crew was distracted with checklists rather than driving the aircraft.
Ah, the old checklist phenomenon! Not that I ever called for a checklist at an inappropriate time. Me? No, never. Ha! Not very smart, Pete. Head up my ......
Don't beat yourself up Pete. We've all been there.LOL. Just be glad you had somebody that would listen. Flying 135, my right seat guy was more permanent, and he'd just look at me with that "you gotta be kiddin' look.LOL
Yep, had the same FO for a long time and he would just say "ready"? and begin. That way, I never forgot to call for it. It helps to be a team. Unfortunately, big airline crews sometimes fly together once in a career. You have no idea who this pilot next to you is.
Well,you know it wasn't that long ago when crews flew together for awhile.I had a lot of friends that would talk at times what a good(or sorry)Captain they had, and Captains speaking the same about them. I guess that was good and bad and probably a main reason CRM came into being. I knew a lot of guys that really looked down on their FO/FE and seemed to forget they were there themslves once. I agree with you on wondering about the guy next to you. You have to assume he is qualified but unless you fly together for awhile you don't really get to know them. The guy that has my old seat now flew my right side for about 13 years, until I retired and he moved over, but the folks that owned the thing liked having 2 fully qualified folks up front. He did 5 years in our King Air before he moved into our 57. That's the type of guy you can rely on.
As I said above, the story posted here says one thing and the updated link something else. One says they were at the gate and the SB sign about to go off. The other says they deplaned. I'm kinda like you, both videos show him off the gate, either just ducking out of the way or holding short for final parking. At any rate it says all deplaned. Even the tribune says they walked off and to the gate. Probaly the pilot's call right there to get them off the plane as a precaution. Tower probably thought he was in the clear and if he had been, there would have been no problem. Not that familiar with O'Hare but as busy and congested as it is, easy mistake.
Yuo only need to look at the last frame of the video to see where they were at impact. The CRJ was 1 1/2 lengths from the jet way and no where near turning off the seat belt sign. It matters little what was said by whom when you have the picture in front of you showing the wing tangled with the vertical stabilizer.
know this each pilot should know the length of their aircraft
The ERJ wasn't even parked yet, the id bet the 747 and the ERJ were head on and the ERJ was told to scoot into the gate, he just didn't do it all the way, and the tower cleared the 47 to continue assuming the ERJ parked correctly.
"Clear left". "Clear right". Gotta say it and actually do it. Not tower's fault.
I dont see they story
Obviously the pilot training to transition from a Normal aircraft to a 747 is sadly lacking with this supposed airline.
Years back an EL AL 747 clipped an American Eagle ATR at JFK. Several days later the ATR was back on line with a black silhouetted 747 displayed beneath the Capt. side window.
My father was an AMT for eagle back then working out of ALB, I remember him going down there to work on that ATR, lots of OT that wk lol
Is that where the term 'Clipper' jet comes from?
I quote the video "the EVA 747 clipped the 'rudder' of the American Eagle. Folks, no matter what transport mode TV and print media cover, they have a huge tendancy to make up what they don't know, instead of doing a bit of research. Some of the clips I have over the years are just laughable. Rudder? First time I have heard a tail being called a rudder.
You do realize that the airplane's rudder is on the tail, right? That part that moves on the back half of the tail? Yeah, that's the rudder...
yeah, it is.lol. C'mon Ken, you can beat that.lol
You must be very young. I've heard it referred to as the tail, vertical stabilizer, rudder, and more. Why nitpick a story clearly reported by a non aviation news reader. I've never heard the term all clear used just prior to deplaning either, but I got the jist of his report.
He ain't that young, Mark.LOL
Roger that. If I get nasty they turn off their receivers. :-)
I wonder how many neck braces got put on a nanosecond after the two made contact?
Dude, this incident has been squawked like 18 times already.

Editor's Note: This is one of a series of articles about the history of the Sun Advocate and the county it covers as a newspaper. The article is being written from front page stories that appeared during each year in commemoration of the 120th anniversary of the newspaper's birth in 1891.
January brought a spate of BB gun incidents in which police exclaimed dismay because they could have led to tragedy. In one case a young man displayed a BB gun pistol in the hall at Carbon High School during a basketball game. While he didn't point it at anyone, a girl reported it to the administration and they called police.
Officers rounded up several young people in a group thinking the kid was with them, but found he was not. He instead hid under a car while police questioned the others. Later he was spotted walking through the cemetery, but after being taken into custody it was found he did not have the gun with him. He later led officers to where he had placed the gun.
In another incident, the next day another youth was arrested for carrying around a pistol BB gun at 100 West Main after he was reported by people in the area. At the time officers were largely concerned because the BB guns looked so much like real pistols and they were worried that if pulled out in the wrong circumstances a peace officer could take it for a real firearm, which could lead to a shooting.
In March, Carbon County seized all assets of Sunnyside Coal. At the time the county said that the company owed them $400,000 in back taxes. They did it because they felt the company was selling off its assets and there would be nothing left to cover the county's tax lien. The point of the action, where the assessor actually went to the mine and marked all property that it had been seized, was for a tax sale that was to take place in April. However in mid-April it was learned that the company had filed for bankruptcy protection in federal court.
While the Helper City Council passed a preservation ordinance in 1992, protecting buildings in certain areas in town from being changed or destroyed, it wasn't until the spring of 1994 that historic preservation commissioners were appointed to oversee the area. The ordinance regulated repairs, alterations, additions and the demolition of buildings in the areas designated. The commission also was appointed to review any signs placed in the area as well.
Just when people in the area thought they had heard the last of the John David Young case, in which an enraged truck driver injured several people and killed a Utah Department of Transportation employee by running the truck he was driving off the road, another wrinkle in the case appeared. A Salt Lake attorney who supplied legal advice to Young filed a suit against Carbon County asking for a total of $41,000 to be paid to him for his representation of Young. County officials said that the attorney took over the case he never filed a motion seeking court appointment and he also never filed a motion to be released from the case. The Carbon County Attorney's office thought that he was providing the services pro bono.
As usual, water became a topic of discussion in 1994. A weak winter had provided for less water than normal, but in the works by August was a unique public-private funding program to conserve water by agricultural users. The plan at the time was to supplement the piping and canal lining costs from both the Stowell Mutual Water and Canal Company and also the Carbonville Ditch Company. It was the beginning of the effort to maximize the water in the area not only as a conservation tool, but to a certain extent also a political one concerning Sanpete County's effort to build the Gooseberry Dam Project.
The struggle over that issue also took front and center on a lot of front pages in 1994. It was a time of high activity by both Carbon and Emery County. Two public meetings took place on a Draft Environmental Impact Statement that had been produced by the Bureau of Reclamation in March, one in Price and the other in Mount Pleasant. The hearing held in Price attracted a huge number of people, almost all opposed to the dam and the project moving any further along. In May, the Sanpete Water Conservancy District applied for $350,000 to the Permanent Community Impact Board to address engineering on the project. The Sun Advocate reported, tongue in cheek that "The Gooseberry Narrows hearings in Price last March never happened" because the request "included no negative comments" in the district's request for funds." The issue simmered all year with Sanpete giving a bus tour of the proposed area for the project to Central Utah Project officials in the summer. In the fall the Southeastern Utah Association of Governments came out against funding for the project.
The new Carbon County Public Safety Building was finished in the late summer and inmates were moved from the old jail to the new one in September. An open house was held for the public before the facility went into use. With that went away the threats of lawsuits concerning the conditions in the old jail. But the new jail was not escape proof. In late September three inmates managed to escape from the jail by crawling through duct work and tipped out an exhaust fan on the roof and then jumped to the ground. The dislodged duct work was created via a piece of lumber that had been left during construction in the ceiling.
Without that it the inmates could not have made entrance into the duct work. In addition the exhaust fan they exited was not bolted down. One escapee was captured within a few days. In mid-October two people were arrested in connection with aiding in the jail break. A week later the other two were arrested, one in Murray and the other in the San Diego, Calif. Area. Both were arrested in the separate towns for because they were committing or had committed crimes there since the escape. Later in the year one of the escapees who had been returned was also charged with an "injuring jails offense" after he got upset about something and tore up one of the jail cells.
A speeding motorist in Wellington ended up dead by his own hand while Wellington Police Department personnel chased him. He was observed going 65 miles per hour in a 40 mph zone and when Chief Lee Barry turned on the lights on his cruiser in pursuit the man did not pull over. Barry then turned on his siren but the man still did not pull over. Speeds along Highway 6 where he was being chased did not go over 65 miles per hour, and then the car started to slow down, weaved and went off the road colliding with a fence. When Barry approached the car he found the man had shot himself in the chest while driving. He was dead by the time rescue crews arrived.
In November, the authorities also began the search for one of serial killer Ted Bundy's victims in Clark Valley. The site had been described by Bundy before his execution in 1989, and after that the Carbon County Sheriffs Department had searched an area around Sunnyside Junction, based on his description. Nothing was found. However, in the fall of 1994, a the department got a tip from a woman who said that around 20 years before she and her husband had been rock hounding in Clark Valley and had seen a young man in a suit burying something in that area. She said that nearby stood a Volkswagen.
The description matched Bundy and his car so the search was on. Nothing was found in that fall either. But the search created a controversy when the Bureau of Land Management sent Sheriff Jim Robertson a letter telling him he had to have the land that was disturbed recontoured and reseeded. The letter also stated that the department should have asked for authorization (permit) to do the search and disturb the land. Robertson told the Sun Advocate that he had not broken any law and that he doesn't need special permission from a federal agency to perform duties that are within his jurisdiction.
Carbon County Sheriffs Deputy Mike Martinez points out the exhaust fan on the Carbon County Safety Building's roof which three inmates tipped over to escape in 1994. The three were caught within a few weeks of fleeing the jail.

Comments about Louis Garneau Neo Protect Booties:
Right out of the box the velco was not fully stiched, but it was enough to use them once...resewn prior to second ride. Velcro does not lie flat but overall effective solution to cold/wet feet at a reasonable price
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Large Enough to Fit Over MTB Shoes/Boots
By pgb2
from Carlisle, PA
This is my third pair of these things as the XL is the only size bootie I've tried that comfortably fits over my MTB shoes (~Size 46) AND winter boots (Size 47) without having to stretch to the point of over stressing the seams.Their simple velcro closure doesn't seal tightly around the ankle/shoe and the bottoms are mostly open so cannot be considered remotely water resistant but they reduce shoe wetness from front wheel spray due to the neoprene construction. They probably add about half an hour to my feet's cold weather endurance in temps below 20 Deg F due to the insulating properties of the neoprene.The only significant downside is they aren't especially durable, with threads eventually unraveling at the seams within a year if you ride 7 or 8K miles a year like I do.
The dogs were toasty
By Coyote
from Dayton, Oh
About Me Casual/ Recreational
Used the booties for the first time this winter. They were just what I needed. On previous rides through the month of December, my feet would be frozen by the end of my rides. Booties kept my feet feeling just fine with windchills making the temperatures feel like mid to upper 30's. Definitely worth the money spent.
Warm but doesn't hold up
By Single tracker
from Concord, NH
The booties are very warm( I've used them in single digits and never got cold feet). My biggest gripe is that the fabric at the toe is very thin and flimsy, and rips easily. My booties were shredded after only a couple of months of using them. They would be great for road cyclist who don't walk around a lot. That way the bottom would hold up. However if you are mountain biking in snow and ice and frequently put your feet down, these won't last long.
Great shoe covers
By redrider
from Oswego, kansas
Easy to put on, but I got a size larger; and it's not a problem. Haven't used them in the rain, but don't expect them to be waterproof. Work great on a muddy road in 45 degree weather! Already bought another pair for Christmas!
Warm Bootie, but Awkward Fit
By N8vchzhd
from Memphis, TN
I bought this product to use when the temps are below 40F. I really liked the price and am happy with my purchase thus far. My only complaint is with getting in and out of the Bootie. It has Velcro closures and needs to be put on the toe of the shoe before you put your foot in and then pull the Bootie over the heel. This is to allow the shoe to be tightened before the Bootie is closed. I found this to be a little awkward. I did find the Bootie worked well in the upper 30s and am happy I bought it.

Warm and Toasty
By Kaymo
from Arlington, VA
The first time I used these booties it was 45 degrees outside with a wind chill that made it feel like 35. I rode for an hour. My feet, especially my toes, were toasty and warm the whole ride. The booties effectively blocked the wind. They were easy to put on and take off (I wear a size 45 Shimano shoe with the side ratchet). Fit was good. The cutout for my cleats didn't interfere with clipping in or out. A small price to pay for comfort. Satisfied and impressed. Highly recommended
Keep my feet warm!
By jrezz71
from Belleville, IL
I've been riding in 32° wx this last week, haven't had any problems with my feet getting cold. I wish I'd have had these in previous years!
good product
By RDAVE
from Vancouver Wa
easy on and off if sitting down. good fit to 45 mountain bike shoes and 46 road shoes
Good value
By Ben
from Kansas City, KS
I have used these for a couple of seasons and have beat the snot out of 'em. They are plenty warm, keeping me toasty down to zero or so (as cold as it gets here), and making me sweat in 35+ temps or sunshine. They are surprisingly breathable for something so warm. (I base this entirely on the salt stains that build up when it's too warm.)They fit well over MTB/commuter shoes, and the cutouts clear cleats reasonably well, so you can get a lot of walking in. I have destroyed these things and the bottom is frayed, but they are still toasty, and a little stitching will have 'em back in service.

How exciting! The royal baby news has us glued to the TV and internet. First off: congrats Kate Middleton and Prince William. Now, let's get to it: we're lovin' that Kate stepped out for the first time as a family in an adorable polka dot dress. Doting in dots, you could say. Not only was it a bittersweet memory of the late Princess Diana who also wore a polka dot dress when introducing Prince William to the world in 1982, but it was simply sweet.
Yep, we think Kate looked great. The white dots on a light blue dress were subtle, not screaming. Her ladylike look was cute, yet still carried a whimsical "I just had a baby boy" flair. What's not to love?
So, with all this royal baby excitement on our minds, we scoped out some polka dot dresses so we too, can rock the dots. Here are a few that caught our eye.

Me and Buddy Wiggleton and Bob Edwards used to push and shove our way through the baseball glove section of Robert Hall's Western Auto. The new leather had such a wonderful smell. And you mix in the distinctive aroma of the Neat's foot oil and the rubber hoses from the auto displays on the next aisle and that combined scent was the Western Auto store. We didn't linger to enjoy it. As a matter of fact, we were in such a hurry to get the good 99 cent Wilson baseball that we barely noticed.
The government once again has moved too slowly to help me. Where was this clunker program idea in 1954? Was Congress so engrossed in the Joseph McCarthy saga that they forgot about the rest of us? Was Eisenhower more interested in practicing his golf or monitoring the Marshall Plan than to my lonely plight in West Tennessee? Was the entire world's attention averted by the Monroe-DiMaggio wedding?
It was late August when me, Ricky and Hollis Mayo decided to quit school. We figured we had gone about as far as we could go. "We can read and cipher. How much more do you need?" is the way Rick put it. We made a pact not to show up for the new school year. We decided to go to California and make movies with Roy and Gene. It looked like a lot of fun and Hollis maintained, "The way the teachers dote on Pam, Susie, Ruth Ann and the rest of the girls, they won't nobody miss us 'til Christmas!"
My football career started in the front yard. We lived out at the end of Stonewall Street. Our nearest neighbors in those early years were Mr. and Mrs. Brooks. I figured them to be in their mid 80s, a little old for a quarterback or tight end. Besides, they worked all the time. That left me and Leon and David Mark. It didn't take us long to choose up sides.
I'm wondering about life. I wonder if someone's measuring mine with a tape measure like the one Mary Poppins used. Her measurement read, "Practically perfect in every way." I wonder what mine would say.
The city of Quincy can't begin enforcing its street vendors ordinance quickly enough. People selling food on street corners is getting worse. And I'm not buying into the excuse that people have to make money the best way they can.
Meth lab "accidentally" blows up house in Panama City. Crook robs store, then comes back to ask clerk for a date. Dog sells for $582,000 in China. Man marries ex-wife and then "remembers" during the second reception why he ditched her originally. Tiger Woods hits a ball into the water.
You talk about strange headlines in the past week! It's got people talking about the apocalypse. I'm trying to be an "anchor of reason" amid this chaotic exposition.
An article appeared in a another area newspaper recently that I'd like to comment on. I won't name the newspaper or the person who wrote the article, because I don't want to give them any unnecessary attention. I do however, wish to speak my mind on the situation.
The article was an unabashed, libelous attack on me and on the Times, and didn't even prove anything. I was amazed it was placed on the front page.
I am happy that the Gadsden County Sheriff's Office has taken the initiative to address the problems that have been rampant in the Hispanic community. For the past several years I have noticed instances of crimes against Hispanics have been on the rise. Also, what stands out in police reports is the phrase "no suspects and no witnesses." The victims refuse to provide information to authorities on how the crime occurred. There have been instances when a Hispanic victim who has been shot or stabbed will not provide even the basic information.
I met Albert through football. We're going out to play Blountstown a few years back and I hear "Coach, coach!" Most of the time I don't even look up. I've got the upcoming game on my mind, "Coach, coach!" I'm trying to remember if I've explained to Sidney if they run that buck sweep and the guard pulls, he's got to look for that tackle blocking down, "Coach, COACH!"
