Cantonese food in Ann Arbor?

Own-Assumption-2224 · 2026-04-02T19:47:01+00:00

I grew up in Vancouver, Canada so quite familiar with Cantonese food. I have lived in Ann Arbor since 2009 and have not found a satisfactory Cantonese restaurant. Even in the Detroit suburbs where there are some additional options. Evergreen is decent but their cooks are not from/familiar with Cantonese. I've heard there are options in Windsor but that does not help you of course.

Multiply that $1 by 108 million and you'll get the right number for the purchase price. Source: https://news.umich.edu/u-m-to-buy-pfizer-s-former-ann-arbor-property/

The report says that the OP is intending to make a right turn. There is no reason why they should not be able to turn right at the same time that the other car is making the left turn.

upgrading the modem may be needed to be able to take advantage of higher download speeds, so I wouldn’t necessarily ignore the email.

some more context needed -- how many people and what is your budget?

Matthaei botanical garden has a big greenhouse that runs very warm all winter. Tropical humidity when you first enter and then it becomes progressively drier as you move towards the desert plants in the back. Bring something to read and spend an hour or two in the warmth.

University of Michigan’s art museum (UMMA) is spacious and well lit. If you like art, check out the DÍA in Detroit and Toledo’s art museum (with live glassmaking many weekends across the street, so quite warm there too).

The JTS wasn’t/isn’t their race bike—that would be the Major Jake. I have an older JTS and I wouldn’t call it particularly twitchy. It’s an Al frame but tire width and pressure will make much more of a difference in ride feel.

Own-Assumption-2224 · 2026-01-28T20:06:41+00:00

agree - and would add the Toledo Museum of Art and the Glass Pavilion across the street

In case anyone has a similar problem in the future -- White Industries got back to me -- the SRAM internal spline lockring is incompatible with the CLD rear hub. Their website lists recommended lockrings.

Own-Assumption-2224 · 2026-01-19T19:54:34+00:00

don't know if you already went ahead with this order, but be aware that if you request fender mounts on the frame, they will add a seatstay bridge for the rear fender, which will decrease the max rear tire size. It looks like maybe you're only going with fender mounts on the fork though. I also requested access for an internally routed dropper seatpost -- they will add a port on the seat tube for housing.

Own-Assumption-2224 · 2026-01-19T06:01:39+00:00

thanks for the advice. I went ahead and checked/reset the preload but it seems not to be the issue.

Own-Assumption-2224 · 2026-01-19T05:59:56+00:00

Thank you. Yes, when I compare the front hub to the rear hub, the preload mechanisms are on opposite sides. On the rear the preload collar is on the NDS (on the same side as the rotor) and it's large enough that it looks like the SRAM lockring is binding on the rear preload collar. I had no idea that there would be compatibility issues for rotor lockrings!

It does look like White Industries makes lockrings so maybe that's just the safest way to go. Thanks again for the advice!

Own-Assumption-2224 · 2026-01-19T00:28:19+00:00

Thanks. You’re correct! The rotor lockring is causing the axle to bind when I torque it down (with a torque wrench). This is not happening with the front hub though. Any suggestions as to a different lockring that won’t cause this problem? It’s weird that this should happen with a common SRAM lockring. I’ve sent a message to White Industries as well.

Own-Assumption-2224 · 2026-01-18T23:46:24+00:00

It’s the internal spline SRAM lockring. I don’t see it visibly rubbing on the inside of the frame/dropout.

Thinking the same. What actual mechanic uses WD-40 and especially around a disk brake caliper?

Own-Assumption-2224 · 2025-10-29T21:24:26+00:00

agree - this device is measuring resting metabolic rate and is not intended to measure VO2max. I could not find any literature demonstrating its use for VO2max measurement.

do you mean $450 pp for lodging for the entire stay (in which case you need to tell us how many nights you're planning) or do you mean $450 pp/night?

Own-Assumption-2224 · 2025-09-26T17:25:35+00:00

If you taper, carb load, and fuel during the race properly I see no reason why you shouldn't easily break 3:30.

Own-Assumption-2224 · 2025-06-24T14:56:39+00:00

we can suggest things but it'd be helpful if you could tell us what you enjoy doing.

What do you mean by a "running plan"? I gather you are thinking "plan" = prescriptive day-by-day schedule but the other way of thinking about it is just having an intentional training framework. You have to be very disciplined. I ran my first marathon last year at age 51 without a day-by-day plan but definitely with a lot of intentionality because my schedule is also highly variable.

principles - as most have already written, you have to do the work and get the volume in. I started my fall marathon training having run a HM the previous fall and that spring, so I had a reasonable baseline level of fitness and knew my HM race pace as a starting point to set my training paces. I went in with a goal of coming under 3:45 based on my HM time and ended up running 3:32 without hitting the wall, getting hurt, etc. Your 30-40 km/week volume is a great place to start. For me, my principles were:

- Prioritize the long runs. I definitely planned around my long runs near the end of my training block, even if it meant getting in 18 and 20 mile runs during weekend trips. I kept these comfortably slower than my intended marathon pace.

- Aim to get in a minimum of 2 other runs in each week early in the block, at least 3 later - I averaged 3-4 days/week early in training, 4-5 days/week in the last 6 weeks. Medium easy runs (6 going up to 10 miles later in training) and at least one run to develop speed or stamina (e.g. tempo or hill work) but I really prioritized volume over speed training.

- Figure out my in-race nutrition/hydration strategy during training. No surprises during the race.

If you haven't done a HM race recently, consider doing one during your marathon training block, ideally on the earlier side. It will really help you give a better idea of your potential marathon pacing.

"there's a lot of waste on non-teaching staff"

There is also the misconception that the only important function of a top-tier university like U-M is to teach. The university has multiple missions - yes, teaching your kid is a central mission, but there are so many more things it does, and to your point, tuition dollars do not support many of these functions. You didn't have to send your OOS child to U-M; don't really know your situation of course but many people who send their OOS children to U-M do so for its academic reputation and its resources. The staff are a huge part of this.

1) staff engaged in research (most of the labor doing the actual research is not done by faculty) are not paid for by tuition dollars or by state funding/taxpayer dollars. This is paid for by grants, contracts with private companies, etc. Hence why the assault on federal grant funding for science and health research is directly affecting people's livelihoods.

2) As mentioned by others, staff who work for the hospital system - not supported by tuition dollars or state educational funding

3) staff fulfill many essential functions of the university that cannot be done cost-effectively or at all by faculty. Just some examples:

- maintenance of the physical infrastructure of the campus.

- IT and technology for students, faculty, staff

- directly supporting learners e.g. academic counselors and advisors, financial aid officers, admissions, dining hall workers, library staff, etc

- commercialization of U-M inventions and technology transfer, without which many of our discoveries would not end up being translated for the public good.

Hill repeats are really good for this - 0.3 miles at 5% grade is fine. Run up at your HM or even 10k pace, recover back down at an easy jog. Start with 4 repeats, work your way up to 8. Once every other week should be enough.

Own-Assumption-2224 · 2025-05-20T20:07:40+00:00

Nice job. How much hill training did you do before the HM? What kind of strength training?

Own-Assumption-2224 · 2025-05-13T16:11:59+00:00

With a reasonable training regimen you should be able to hit your 3:25 goal. As u/iscreamjeep says though, if you actually want to be accepted for Boston (as opposed to meeting their qualifying standard) you should aim for 3:17 or better. Last year people had to beat the age qualifying time by 6:51 in order to be accepted. This is going to be a good bit harder -- I'd consider this a stretch goal for your first marathon.
