Use Stone To Top Off Your Old
Filing Cabinets
Better Homes and Gardens
Even as an only semi-responsible adult, I have enough paperwork to justify the need for a file cabinet. I've owned one in every apartment I've ever had and have decorated them six ways to Sunday. They've never quite looked this good, though, and all it took was a simple piece of scrap stone.
File cabinets are relatively easy items to spray paint. The less adventurous could take them to be painted, but a custom hue is a sure fire way to make these industrial pieces find a true place in your home and in your heart.
The tops of older filing cabinets have usually seen a great deal of wear, and although their corners and sides are still square, the tops often sink down a little, making them appear less attractive. Better Homes and Gardens suggests using a small piece of stone to cover the top and give the cabinet a bit of polish. Marble, granite, and even concrete would all be great options.
You can head to local stone outlets and pick up small pieces like this for far less than you think. This would also make a great kitchen island workspace, a wet bar in your living room, or even a place to set a drink in your basement man cave. What do you think of the idea?

I have used a stone piece to hide damage to an old wood table as well
I agree, much improved! I've found great stone scraps at rebuilding centers in my city (Portland) for next to nothing.
I'd love to do a big desk like this. I'm having a hell of a time finding a steel desk with a filing cabinet that isn't $300 or looks like crap. This seems like a good diy, find 2 small filing cabinets, paint nifty color and find something cool and smooth to span across - BOOM awesome desk.
Ooh! I love the orange. Does anyone know if these were purchased that way or if they owners did their own paint job?
@vonlet24: I used a good quality spray paint on a metal filing cabinet and got great results. Just make sure it's really clean and pull out the drawers a bit to get the color on the inside edges. Use a satin or matte finish to hide the little dents these things tend to get.
This is a good look! The only thing I have used stone to top is my butcher block (we went to a Williams Sonoma outlet where they were selling the white marble top of a wood base table for $10! It even had honed edges was so heavy it just fits on top perfectly with it's own weight.)
Now this has me about to get my tape measure out and see if it would fit on the filing cabinets...
Love this idea, love the orange.
However, I don't know where this scrap stone that diy articles talk about comes from. Stone places here charge the same price per square foot for a scrap as for a custom counter. I called around to every supplier in the area because I wanted a piece 4 inches by 29 inches to put across the end of my bathtub for shampoo etc. I ended up paying $60 for it. It's so useful that it was worth it, but it would have been so much nicer if I'd only paid a few dollars for it.
@Dulcibella - It's part timing and part luck. And a whole lotta parts patience. You have to really either get lucky and have a piece available when you want it (and a piece of stone you like) or you have to keep trying, sometimes for weeks or months on end, if you want to find a really good deal on a very small piece of stone.
You are almost better off going to a salvage yard of a tile and stone retailer rather than a stoneyard and seeing if they have anything small.
But if you're persistent, you can find a deal. If you know someone who has a stone cutting tool, even better, since you can get a slightly larger piece than you need and have it cut down without paying the huge expense of having a stoneyard or tile worker cut it down for you.
@Dulcibella: those builder supply overstock stores I told you about would be a good place to start.
Oh this is too cute... wondering whether this would work in a bedroom (as this is where we keep our filing cabinet) Still looks a little harsh, wonder if there's a way to soften this look even further?
We used remnant limestone to top off some built-in cabinetry around our fireplace and it turned out beautifully!
Where are these stone yards everyone's always talking about? I've never seen one.
@JESS13: You are a very helpful commenter.
This (painting my slightly-dented boring black file cabinet) actually seems do-able. That orange is fantastic. Add the stone and the file cabinet is really attractive. Thanks AT.
(and CALLDOCTORBISON I was wondering the same thing but I haven't really done any research...)
@A BIT OF BROOKLYN, might i suggest a warm slab of wood on top instead of stone, for your bedroom? I think that could be really beautiful and warm enough for a bedroom
You can also use a door over 2 filing cabinets for an inexpensive top. I used this for years. And I got vintage filing cabinets which are extremely solid and they're still going strong. There are no dents or bowing on the top. This was well over 20 years ago although they could use a touch up now. They have been very handy and are used constantly.
I bemoaned this for years. Wanted old marble or granite on top of my radiators, to radiate and give me shelf-like storage. Ridiculous, pricing by the square foot for remnants! (Really, stone cutter - you can't discount that 8" X 30" piece that is just the edge cut off a giant counter in a mansion? All the other stores sell their little scrappy bits cheap!)
But then I found a man at the flea market who had all kinds of old marble mantle tops and whatnots. $5 per piece, he said to me. So I bought and bought.
DEFINITELY look at salvage yards, flea markets, old junk antique kinds of places.
CB2 has a file cabinet on wheels (file drawer on bottom, two smaller drawers on top) that comes powder-coated in screaming orange, chartreuse, white, or carbon gray.
Such a great idea. I love the color for my white studio walls
I always get so jealous when I read the, "Oh, I got my bucket of gold from the leprechaun junkyard for 52 cents" posts.
Someday I am going to find that awesome place that practically gives away wine crates, butcher blocks, and extra tiles. Until then I will just drool over everyone else's great finds. :)
The local Restore (Habitat for Humanity's thrift store that sells building supplies including re-use stone countertops and broken stone countertops) has these things for cheap prices. I drooled over a pink and black granite piece for a long time, thinking about how awesome it would look above the dozens of recycled kitchen cabinets they also sell, turned into a sideboard.
Don't forget to look at the Habitat's local website to see if they have a recycling store in your city!! They have the most awesome stuff usually marked down by at least 10% but often much more than that.
LOL to PENDRAGON's comment above, about the "bucket of gold from the leprechaun junkyard." So true!
Well, we'll all have to keep hunting -- Usually, those finds pop up when you've just about forgotten about them and are instead out looking for Something Else :)
OK, I'm a leprechaun recipient. If y'all are in northeast Massachusetts, you can find some old stone at Todd Farm Flea market on route 1A in Rowley. Sunday mornings through Thanksgiving. There's an old barn, and stacked up against the sides of it are old marble and soapstone sinks and backsplashes and such. The man will sell you a stone backsplash - not as cheap as the previous guy sold them to me, but still pretty cheap. Then there are other guys with other random things.
Also, local sources for this kind of thing:
Nor'east Architectural Salvage in South Hampton, NH, as well as Old House Salvage in Exeter, NH. Neither of these stores give stuff away - but if you're looking for old stone, they've sure got it. And they might be flexible on a remnant pice.
Also, Paul Martin Antiques on River St. (110) in Haverhill, MA. I was looking for marble for an old file I had found, and Paul had a piece that he sold me for like $30 (about 7 square feet, I think). He gets old beaten down dressers and sometimes salvages the stone tops. They're not on display - just ask!
(Those of you who are near and have never been to Paul Martin antiques - you HAVE to go. It's 3 or 4 floors of an old warehouse, stocked every inch with old pieces. Paul sells to people in Hollywood when they're looking for just the right piece. Totally camouflaged in an iffy neighborhood. Ring the bell, and Paul's mother will answer the door, and she'll write up your receipt afterwards. And they'll leave you alone while you poke around. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Paul-Martin-Antiques/153861854677478)
The leprechauns are out there, but you have to do a lot of driving and asking and poking before you find them.
The color is fabulous and getting stone at habitat is even better. Love love love this!!! I have a large ugly file cabinet that is about to be a bright bold colr!!!!
Community Forklift (near DC) has amazing deals. Like the Habitat stores, they sell remnants and old and used parts for super cheap. During August, they're selling granite for $1/foot for pieces less than 3 feet square.
Here's the site: http://communityforklift.com/forsale.cfm#item212

I'm not one to judge an album by its cover, but the artwork of the latest from Editors, The Weight of Your Love, is so indicative of the leaden and obvious meditations on the brutality of love you'll find within, that it's almost enough to skip the record before even listening to it. The Weight of Your Love is so heavy in its grand statements on the difficulties of the heart, that to endure the banality of its eleven songs is a chore and a slog in itself. Where once the members of Editors dealt solely in the post-punk murk of Interpol, they've tried to expand their sound by bringing in strings and the piano-based trickery usually reserved for groups like Keane and Coldplay to results that are mixed, but mostly forgettable.
In theory, it's nice to see Editors switching it all up for their fourth album. There's been some inter-band turmoil, resulting in bassist Chris Urbanowicz leaving the group. How integral Urbanowicz was to the band's sound is tough to say, but there's a major difference in the direction of their sound. Yes, they still pay a heavy debt to such icons as Joy Division and Echo and the Bunnymen, but there's a "throw everything in" approach going on here when none was really needed. Editors were never going to change the world with their sound, but it was fine enough to bring about a couple of decent records. On The Weight of the World, they've decided to blow it all to hell.
Things start out with a sense of normality on "The Weight", a typical Editors tune with brooding lyrics and singer Tom Smith's deep voice. It's a basic paint-by-numbers song from the band that is also something of a sleight of hand. You see, the next song, "Sugar", is far more representative of what The Weight of Your Love sounds like: a kitchen sink record that is so over-the-top in its production that you can't help but stand sort of dazed as you watch the money spent on the sound of this album bleed out of your stereo. Yes, this is a band looking to shake things up, but they do it by playing to what they're not, instead of their strengths.
Smith has mentioned looking to R.E.M. and Arcade Fire as inspiration for this album. Those are lofty aspirations and if you're going to go at the kings, you'd better not miss. At best, some of these tunes, like "A Ton of Love" come across as a third-rate R.E.M., but without any of the intelligence or sense of songcraft that made the band, even at its worst, an intriguing listen. As for aspiring for that Arcade Fire sound, Editors kind of make it there if you think adding strings to a schmaltz-fest like "What Is This Thing Called Love" to be what that group strives for.
The sad part is that we're only first four songs in on The Weight of Your Love. Its middle section is bogged down by an overreliance of orchestral sounds that makes the record bleed together. There are some okay things – "Honesty" at least has a chorus your mom might like. But then there's "Nothing", a tune so dripping in sad-sack bullshit you can already picture the romantic comedy that's going to use it just as our hero finally gets the girl before the credits roll.
When the album does click is when the group sticks to their wheelhouse. "Hyena" is a fine, if not derivative piece of post-punk stereotype. But, the band sounds comfortable here and it shows in the way the song moves confidently without the aid of any unnecessary production flourishes. The album's best moment comes late with "The Phone Book", a tune that uses Smith's voice to do the heavy lifting with a light guitar in the background. Less is truly more on The Weight of Your Love, with this song proving you don't need to sound big to get your point across.
Unfortunately, it's too little too late for The Weight of Your Love. Four albums in, Editors tried to rebuild their sound, but the result is an album confused with its own identity. It's the wrong move for a band already tentative in its approach to where it wants to go. The Weight of Your Love is too bogged down in needless atmospherics and production tricks when all it really needed were great songs that do more than reach for the cheap seats. Sure, Editors have always been a bit unoriginal, but they are better than what's here. Instead of having a firm grip on their direction, they sound lost and confused as to what to do next.

Josh Childress- 1st Round, 6th overall Pick in 2004 NBA Draft
Career Average: 9.2 PPG, 4.8 RPG, 1.6 AST, .09 STL
Of all the training camp call ups, Josh Childress was probably the most interesting name on the list, especially considering that he's probably still capable of playing in the NBA. Most of the training camp invitees are either undrafted or are merely fighting for a chance to play in the NBA, but with 7 seasons under his belt, Childress could probably contribute somewhere in the NBA if given the chance.
Although the Wizards have already filled all of their roster spots, Childress could potentially end up in a Wizards jersey in the future if a trade leaves them with an open spot. He's played a very high level of basketball throughout his entire career, and the former sixth overall pick certainly still has things to prove in the NBA. At 6'8, Childress has the length and athleticism to be an effective player in a transition offense which thrives defensively. Interestingly enough, he'd fit right in with the Wizards' personnel, but his shooting leaves much to be desired.
With Chris Singleton out 6-8 weeks, Childress will definitely get the chance to impress the Wizards coaching staff during training camp and preseason. After all, I doubt Childress would've accepted the camp invite unless he thinks he could potentially end up in a Wizards uniform in the near future.

I like my life. A lot. Of course, there are things, in my life, that could be improved – such as my son not leaving his dirty socks laying in random places or the mess of shoes that lurks at the front door. I also haven't been to a dance, zumba or yoga in over two months. But at the heart of it all – I'm surrounded by people who care a great deal about me and I'm blessed with a thriving virtual assistant business.
I believe in karma and treating others the way I want to be treated so it was a great surprise to me when I inadvertently (through no fault of my own) attracted a cyberstalker in June 2013. My best guess is that she (Crazy Pants) found me through conversations I was having on Twitter with a guy friend.
Her real name is Leslie Ann Rogers and she currently goes by several known aliases: Kellie Rogers, Kellie Ruggerio and Kellie Levy. She lives in Spokane, WA. Her "real" Twitter, as of the time of this writing, is @KellieRuggerio. Update as of May 6, 2014 @ 8:25 pm EST. She's now changed her Twitter handle to @KellieLevy18)
What has transpired since June 2013 can only be referred to as Crazy (yes, Crazy with a capital C).
Here is just a partial list of what's happened:
- She's set up 38 different Twitter accounts (which also means she had to set up 38 different email addresses) and 10 different Facebook accounts for the sole purpose of harassing me. Some accounts have been set up in my name or my son's name.
- She's morphed porn photos with my face and sent them to a client on Twitter and posted them on a friend's business Facebook page.
- I have submitted over 300 pages of documentation to both my detective and my attorney.
- She was spoofing calls (both to me and then to others with my phone number being displayed) which lead to me changing my phone number.
Because of all of this absolute craziness, which has drug on for 11 long, long months, I have out of pocket / loss of income exceeding $8,000 and my stress levels have reached an all time high; so it may seem counter-intuitive when I say – Crazy Pants has made me a better person.
How has a cyberstalker made me a better person, you ask?
It comes down to one simple thing.
She forced me to say no to others so I can say yes to myself.
What exactly does that mean?
I began a quest to learn all I could about cyberstalking/online harassment and how to pursue legal action. In hindsight I should have kept track of the number of hours I've spent with all of the research and other time invested over the past 11 months. It's been horribly time-consuming and I realized, after eight months, (I can be a slow learner!) that I either had to continue staying up until the wee hours of the morning or I was going to have to let some clients go in order to free up the time I needed. The lack of sleep has contributed to the health problems that have arisen, mainly due to the stress associated as a result of her antics so the only option was for me to let go of billable hours.
I could handle things related to her. I could take care of myself and my son. I could take care of my clients. I could do two of those three things but not all three. There just wasn't enough time in the day for all three.
Deciding which clients I was going to let go was one of the most heartbreaking and emotional decisions I've had to make in my five+ years of business. And if I'm honest about it, I was really angry (at Crazy Pants), for forcing me to decide between dealing with her shit and doing the work I love. Seriously – why did I have to let go of income to deal with her Craziness?
But it is what it is and with some re-framing I realized the hand she "forced" for me would allow me to:
- take a more active role in the investigation and pursuit of the protection order
- get more sleep as I'm not staying up until the wee hours of the morning doing my research
- when a friend, who is in a similar situation, called last week for advice I was able to stay on the phone with her for over two hours
- become a healthier person (more about that in a future post)
- have some time to write a book about the experience and to help others be safer online
Despite these "hidden benefits" I wouldn't wish this on anyone. As of Friday, April 25, 2014 I have an enforceable protection order (which is why I can publicly talk about this now) so hopefully my story is over soon. Maybe I won't have any more of my precious time being allocated to her. The thought of newly found "free time", and all the possibilities it presents, makes me so incredibly excited!
Thank you, Crazy Pants, for making me a better person.
And so I start a new chapter of my life…..
PS: I've had a few people ask so I'm adding this update. I decided to use Kellie's photo so it eventually/hopefully will show up in Google search results. I'm not the first person she's done this to and I am likely not the last. Hopefully this post will help any future victims. Also, yes, it's OK that I post this story – I double checked with my attorney prior to doing anything. (not to mention it's also available via public records)

I am deeply troubled by the actions and attitudes of some our people with regard to politics. I encourage you to read John Fowles' guest post at Millennial Star for further context. What follows is a post from a number of years ago that highlights President Grant's message with regards to politics that I believe is timely (particularly the last quotes).
Perhaps not unlike our current Church President, Heber J. Grant was fond of telling stories in Church meetings. He told of the time when Eliza R. Snow blessed him at least five times in General Conference that I have found; and I have run across journal entries that described him telling the story at various stake conferences. It seems that he was also fond of a particular humorous story on politics and repeated it at General Conference at least four times that I have seen: [Read more...]

50+: Live Better, Longer
Are Kids Good for Your Health?
May 1, 2000 (San Francisco) -- Three days before Thanksgiving rolled around last fall, I turned to the section on nursing homes in the Yellow Pages. No, I wasn't scouting out emergency care possibilities for an older relative. I was looking for a place to visit with my 18-month-old twins, a place that would distract me from my usual holiday tally of every odd remark uttered by my extended family.
At 10 a.m. Thanksgiving morning, I pushed the stroller into the Jewish Home for the Aged, a lovely, old brick building with colorful artwork on the walls. At the end of a hallway sat seven women, dressed in stylish pantsuits, who greeted us with the ardor of long-suffering fans finally rewarded by the appearance of a matinee idol, or suave singer Tom Jones, perhaps.
"Twins! A boy! A girl!"
A lanky, smooth-faced woman stood and bowed to me. Her petite friend gave us the thumbs-up. "You are the mother! Most wonderful!"
At least, I think that's what they were saying. Mostly, they spoke Russian. We strolled on. At every turn, the twins, Claire and Drew, let kind strangers stroke their cheeks and rub their chubby legs. Claire rode on Mrs. Glickman's lap in a wheelchair; Drew tossed around the pink slippers in Mrs. Vanoss' closet.
A Boost to the Health as Well as the Spirits
We knew we were having a great time. What we didn't know was that our presence was reducing the residents' need for antidepressants, boosting their immune systems, cutting back the incidence of ulcers, and, as our visits continued over the following months, giving Mrs. Vanoss a reason to live.
But those kinds of dramatic effects are what the studies demonstrate. William H. Thomas, MD, has tracked the effects of surrounding nursing home residents with pets, plants, and children as part of his nursing home revolution known as "the Eden Alternative." In the first "Edenizing" nursing homes in upstate New York, Thomas reported after one year a decrease in the use of all medications, a decline in the incidence of new ulcers, and a drop in staff absenteeism, compared to a control facility.
Intrigued, Southwest Texas State University researchers studied five "Edenizing" nursing homes in Texas over a two-year period and reported their findings in the Texas Journal on Aging. They found a 57% reduction in the incidence of new ulcers, a 48% reduction in staff absenteeism, an 18% reduction in restraint use, and a 60% reduction in reports of altercations between residents, compared to control facilities.
"Companionship is food and drink for the human spirit," says Thomas. Take away what he calls "the three plagues" of loneliness, helplessness, and boredom, and the body will respond, he theorizes. "There is a spiritual dimension to a human life."

Hmm, he thinks he is untouchable because he cant think of any hackers in
Saudi being arrested. Also he thinks his ip doesn't matter cause he may
have used a proxy in his hacking. Well I suppose taking credit for it
over and over and over like it is your life's achievement doesn't matter
Let's face it antisec, you are LAME. No one gives a shit about your
cause. The only noteworthy hack you have done is imageshack which will
also be your undoing. Let;s do a lil recap of your so great achievements.
-astalavista.com - lame spammy site with dead forum, who gives a shit?
And secondly who even took them seriously in the first place? No one.
That's who.
-ssanz - Who the fuck is ssanz? Some kid running a server management
company from his laptop? Who the hell even heard of him much less took
his site and services seriously? Wow, you sure have changed the world
with this hack, how dare some 15 year old kid advertise secure server
management. You really taught the rest of us a lesson.
-secureservertech - jesus fucking christ, has anyone even seen this site?
A shitty no name hosting company with a shitty template monster template
offering secure web hosting. You got to be kidding me, yet another
company no one has heard of much less take anything they say seriously.
What another great achievement there, you really are changing things, Gee
the entire internet depended on them for secure web hosting. /sarcasm
-infosec.org.uk - yet another no name security site/security expert no
one gives a shit about.
All of your fine select targets shows you are just a bunch of kiddies who
happened to get a a few good exploits which you no doubt did not write.
If you really wanted to "teach us all a lesson" and punish anyone who
dare advocates security why not go after someone we have all actually
heard of? like securityfocus, synmatec, etc? Im sure everyone knows the
answer - you just simply arent able to.
Kids like you pop up ever few years and get swatted down like the lil
flies you are. Within a month I guarantee you and your hrdev buddies will
be arrested. Keep on thinking you are untouchable, you are not.

- This rare photograph is from Bilder aus Mecca (Images from Mecca), an album by the Dutch orientalist Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje (1857–1936) that is one of the earliest works by a non-Arab to document Mecca and the hajj in photographs. Hurgronje studied at Leiden University, where he earned a doctorate in Semitic languages and literature with a dissertation on Mecca and the pilgrim rituals and their historical background. He became a teacher at the Leiden training college for East Indian officials. In 1884–85 he was granted a leave of absence to go to Jeddah and Mecca to study Arabic and pursue research. He lived in Mecca for approximately six months, where he converted to Islam and adopted the name Abdul Ghaffar. In 1888, he published Bilderatlas zu Mekka (Photographic atlas of Mecca), a compilation of photographs that he had taken and collected in the city. Hurgronje published Bilder aus Mecca the following year as a supplement to the earlier work. Scholars have concluded that the photographs in this album were by al-Sayyid ʻAbd al-Ghaffār, an Indian physician living in Mecca who was a friend of Hurgronje.

General news
17 January 2013 09:00
When former GP world champion Kevin Schwantz dropped into the MCN office, we threw a net over him and dragged him into the cavernous vault of our picture archives.
There he was forced to earn his freedom by talking us through innumerable photos documenting his glorious heyday, from superbike racing in the Eighties to GP victory in the Nineties.
The result, we hope you will agree, gives an unusually intimate insight into one of the brightest and most watchable careers from one of GP's most competitive eras.
The triumphs, the mistakes, the crashes and injuries, the ferocious rivalries - we didn't let the 48-year-old Texan go until we'd got literally quite a lot of it.
MCN: Here's a shot, from 1986. You're obviously number 34, on a Suzuki GSX-R750, and Californian Fred Merkel is number one on a Honda VF750R. Didn't you turn up and completely show-up the British?
KS: And you know what? If you look, it's factory bike, factory bike, factory bike. There's another Rothmans Honda bike with Roger Marshall on it there somewhere. Fred Merkel was on a decent bike but all the rest of us really just used bikes that we'd been supplied over here.
Fred and I won most of the races. I won and got more points than anybody, so I was the high point-scorer that year. But it was just Fred and me basically.
That's why we decided to come back a little better prepared equipment-wise the following year.
Then Wayne and I won every race there was.
From one year to the next, the factory support for the British was done. Haslam was there on a white frigging road-going VFR. And it was like "You guys don't expect him to be able to do anything on that, do you?"
MCN: This shot from Laguna Seca in 1989 shows a bit of your riding style, which has been described as unorthodox. What can you tell us about it?
KS: What I think my style is, and what it was kind of built around, was trying to get the most out of what I had. I think the level that MotoGP bikes are at now, with all the electronics, means the more hung-off you are the better.
But because of all those electronics you're never going to have to react in the same way. That's why you see, nine times out of 10, when it begins to go, they crash. They're not right there on top of that seat, feeling that thing move. They're counting on the electronics.
And what you see here is, knowing what coming down the Corkscrew is like, I've got as much pressure as I can get on that outside foot, trying to increase the traction. It's a negative camber and I'm doing everything I can.
This bike is probably 115kg, not a big-bang engine yet, so if it goes it's just frigging instant. And I'm getting myself in the position that if it does, I can get up off the seat and try and compensate for that big moment.
MCN: You took risks and were no stranger to crashes as a result. What's going on in this picture of you and Ron Haslam from the 1988 British GP at Donington?
KS: I just flat-out ploughed him down. It was the first year of carbon brakes. You can see they don't have any covers on them yet. Off the back straightaway, I'm thinking I'm going to get a position. I grab the brakes and they didn't stop and didn't stop and then they finally got some heat in them.
Had I been a bit more experienced I might not have panicked. Perhaps I could have split a couple of bikes and gone through to the gravel. But what I probably did was I just saw Ron and thought, oh s**t, it's him, and hit him. I think Ron had qualified pretty well. He and I were lying in the gravel and I'm thinking, man, I wish I had a shovel so I could bury myself right here.
MCN: Who's this kid?
KS: Me. That looks like the back of a late sixties vintage Chevrolet, so I'm guessing it's 1970 and I'm about six. It looks like I could be about to get backed over. That's the first house that I lived in as a kid.
MCN: What's the bicycle?
KS: I think it's a Schwinn Stingray. I liked the big banana seat on it because I could sit on the back and wheelie the thing much easier. There's a street near the house that has telephone poles every so often and me and my buddies used to see how many poles we could wheelie past.
MCN: Had you started riding motorcycles yet?
KS: Oh yeah, for sure, but not at home. It was much easier to ride at my parents' motorcycle shop. There was a vacant lot next door and a big place across the street with a bunch of trees and trails.
I rode my first mini bike just before I turned four years old: Lawnmower engine, throttle, a big paddle on the rear tyre for a brake.
I honestly think I learned how to ride a motorised vehicle before a bicycle. I was like, why would I want to pedal this thing? The only reason I liked pedalling a bike was because I could wheelie it.

The recent political campaign and the elections have given more than just an indication of voter dissatisfaction with those in office. It is evident that we have a tremendous amount of hatred in our country, and that the drug and insurance industries have enormous power. Mary Hall Anderson Township
Drug companies suffering, too

Shame on The Enquirer for printing Darlene Goodrich's letter complaining about soaring drug company profits without checking the allegations. As a shareholder, I must report that my drug stocks have all declined in value sharply over the past few years, and their profits are far lower than before. The recession has indeed taken its toll […]
Drug company profits drive health costs up
09/28/10 at 5:22pm by Letters Editor | Comments
As I read the morning paper, I couldn't help but notice the disconnection between the headline "Health premiums going up" (Sept. 28) and that there were pages full of advertisements by the drug companies. As consumers, we continue to contribute more and more to the cost of health care but the drug and insurance industries […]

If I asked you who Miles Gilbert Horton was you would most likely have no clue, but if I put the name Tim in there it would click. Tim Horton is more than a coffee shop; he is one of the strongest players to skate on NHL ice. Horton played in the NHL for 22 years, and is regarded by some as one of the all-time greats.
Quotes VIA Tim Horton's Bio
Bobby Hull: "Few players brought more dedication or honor to the game. He was my idea of a pro."
Gordie Howe: Called Tim Horton hockey's strongest man.
Horton signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1949. He went on to play in 20 seasons with them (17 full and parts of 3 others). It was during his time with the Leafs that Horton built a reputation as one of the hardest working players in the NHL. Horton's career took him on a trip to four different NHL teams; he also played for the New York rangers (1969-1971), Pittsburgh Penguins (1971-1972), and the Buffalo Sabres (1972-1974).
It was Horton's former coach Punch Imlach that brought him to the Sabres. During my research I found several quotes from Imlach, but none stood out more than this one from Horton's bio on TimHortons.com "I know he was the backbone of our team in Buffalo", said Imlach. "(His death) was a terrible loss, not only to his family and the team, but to the game of hockey."
Tim Horton passed away on February 21, 1974. He was driving home from a Toronto, and flipped his car. For years the police denied that alcohol was involved, but in 2005 the autopsy report became public knowledge. It has since been reported that Horton's BAC was two-time the legal limit at the time of the crash. I was able to find photos of the report as well as the accident itself. Please keep in mind if you choose to view them they ARE medical reports, and go into great detail. The pictures are in pages 20 and beyond. Click here to view SCRIBD.com
Regardless of the reasons for the crash, Horton's death left a big hole in many people lives. His legacy as a NHL player lives on to this day and his effort on the ice have not been forgotten.

Any reviews yet on Ping Pong Dim Sum in Gallery Place/Chinatown?
- h
- Hungry Panda Dec 15, 2009 11:52 AM
I know they just opened this past weekend but I was hoping for some early feedback. Thanks.
I'm also curious to hear about reviews. Also in the beginning of January I'm looking to hold an event with anywhere from 10-25 people. It's a happy hour deal with appetizers and I was thinking Ping Pong Dim Sum might be a fun location. Can anyone who has been tell me if the bar area is set up for this type of thing? Is there a lounge area?
I plan to check it out before the event of course, but if there is only 1 small bar I'll cross it off my list to begin with.
I don't have any direct experience there yet, but two people I know have eaten there so far and were very happy with it. I have no idea what their prior dim sum experience was, though...
Went tonight. Cool space. Very large. Pretty empty at 6:30 but started to fill up after that. Started with cockails at the bar. I had an Asian Manhattan which was very smooth, the twist was the addition of some plum wine that rounded it out quite nicely. My friend had a wasabi and amaretto sour that sounded horrible but actually was an interesting twist on a classic sour and it worked. Bar staff was friendly and eager to offer suggestions and help. They're apparently getting a lot of training, which is a good thing. Moved to a table for food. You order your dim sum from a check list after perusing the menu with descriptions. Based on staff suggestions we got crispy duck spring rolls, which were fine but I'm not a fan of most fried egg roll type offerings, a small plate of pickled cabbage and bamboo shoots, which was ok but I've had better at mediocre Chinese restaurants, a pork puff of barbequed pork and sauteed onions that was wonderful, light and tasty and nothing like the pork bun I was expecting. We absolutely loved the scallop and shitake dumplings and the griddled spicy basil dumplings. We split opinions on the fried shrimp ball. I thought it was just ok but my friend liked it. We both liked the traditioinal sticky rice, which actually tasted like traditional dim sum, unlike most of what we ordered. Most offerings came in threes. We also shared a bottle of middling but reasonably priced Gruener Veltliner which worked well with the food. Their wine list has a lot of affordable offerings most of which I wasn't familiar with. Everything with tax and tip was $110, which is a lot for dim sum even with drinks and wine. That said, we will go back to try more things and reorder what we really liked. In early January they plan to offer a happy hour menu. They also have several combination dim sum offerings for $15-18 that look like a very good deal and allow you to try one each of about 10-12 kinds available until 5 pm. Even if its not cheap, it is way better than anything in the District.
What I didn't like: the seating. Hard plank seats at tables and at the bar, none of which have backs. Even the banquettes did not have cushions. I was chatted with some folks on the way out and their reaction was the same as mine. The seats are horribly uncomfortable. Either the designer didn't have a clue or they dont' want you hanging around for very long. So next time I will probably go for happy hour at the bar and leave within the hour. It is not condusive to lingering, despite the attractive interior. Another complaint is that the tables for two are very small, especially if several plates come out at once and fill up the table.
re: Elyssa
Yes. In addition to bar seating there are plenty of tables in that area to accommodate a decent sized party. There is also a large back room that wasn't opened last night but look like it could hold a lot of people.
re: yfunk3
will have to check it out, but its unsettling to see that the drink menu is as big as the food offerings. i can see people now, going there and ordering one dish for themselves. and eating it for dinner...
re: yfunk3
I don't think Ellen named the number of diners, but let's hold off on the exaggeration.
$110 for 8 diners is less than $14/person, which is very reasonable for good dim sum.
re: DanielK
Yeah, it sounds like there were two diners. However, don't forget alcohol was probably a large portion of the bill - not normally the case at a standard dim sum place!
I can't wait to try out Ping Pong dim sum. Sounds scrumptious.
re: hamster
Alcohol was slightly less than half the bill. You can look at the prices on the menu and see what each dish costs relative to a traditional dim sum menu. And yes there were only two of us. Much cheaper if you go before 5, order a dim sum combo, and don't drink.
re: chowsearch
Can't compare one on one since this is clearly intended to be modernized upscale (and therefore much more expensive) dim sum, not your grandmothers dim sum. But in that vein, most of it was very good, some is more traditional, and I will go back to try more. As I noted some of the dishes were excellent. I don't really care if they are "real", just real good. And happy hour will get the price down for some if not all of the items.
I so wanted to love this place but my initial impression is only fair. The large space is quite nice, though I echo a previous poster's sentiments about hard seats. The bar stools were quite uncomfortable. The staff was eager to help. We had the St. Germain "sangria" which was not sangria at all but delicious - with lots of lemongrass flavor. We tried 5 dishes - bok choy, pork puffs, veggie dumplings, spicy basil dumplings and the pork tenderloins (cutlets?). Though some of the dishes were starred on the menu as spicy, none were at all spicy. The basil dumplings were tasty, but TINY. They needed the vinegar sauce that came with them to perk them up. The pork tenderloin was very good and I would order that again. Veggie dumplings and pork puffs tasted like standard supermarket frozen stuff - Trader Joe's came to mind. The bok choy was beautiful and fresh, but the serving was the size of a garnish. Very, very small, even for dim sum. After 5 dishes (two people sharing) I was still hungry. So I might try it again during happy hour, but I wouldn't prefer to eat there again at full price.
I stopped by there tonight before 5:00 to check it out. I really like the look of the place - very sleek, clean and modern. I sat at the bar, on a very high and slippery bar stool. Before 5:00, cocktails are half price and there are several (about 6?) dim sum offerings that cost $3.00. Choosing from among those, I picked three. One of them was spectacular: the char sui steamed pork buns. The bread was light as air and pleasantly sticky and the pork filling was delicious. I ended up wishing I'd gotten two orders of those and skipped the rest. I also ordered the pork puffs which I thought were greasy and way too sweet, and "Vietnamese spring rolls" which I erroneously assumed would be the fresh type, but they were fried - and tiny. It was also more food than I expected. I think two plates is enough for one person - or at least that should be the initial order for one person. As I decided to forgo having a drink as I was in a hurry, the bill was under $10.
Ping Pong Dim Sum

re: woodleyparkhound
I went back a second time, a few months ago, specifically to get the char sui steamed pork buns. They didn't have them on the menu that day, so I left. Now that I know they are fickle about making those available, I'm less likely to return for a third visit.
I went to this place today for the first time. I arrived at around 11:30 AM and sat at the bar; the place was mostly empty, but was filling up by the time I left maybe 45 minutes later. I liked the minimalist but upscale decor, although I echo the previous comments about the uncomfortable bar stools. I didn't realize until about halfway through my meal that you can also sit on the other end of the restaurant and watch the chefs prepare dim sum, which I will definitely do the next time I go.
I had five dishes. The lemon chicken came out first. That consisted of three pieces of fried chicken with lemon sauce--actually far more reminiscent, to me, of Italian food than of Chinese--on top of cut pieces of lettuce. The chicken was hot and the lettuce was chilled, which made for a nice contrast. I actually found the chicken to be a bit too spicy for my taste despite the fact that it was not one of the many dishes on the menu labeled "spicy." Full disclosure: I have an extremely low tolerance for spicy food.
I then had to wait for what seemed like a fair amount of time (probably 5 to 10 minutes) before my next dish arrived: the chicken puff. I'm not quite sure how to describe this one, which for some reason I'm having trouble remembering. If I recall correctly, it was three pastries with chicken inside, with a small piece of pineapple on top. I thought this was fairly good, though I felt that the pineapple was overshadowed by the rest. That is, the pineapple was small and didn't have a very strong flavor; I wish it had been a larger component of the dish.
My final three dishes came at the same time. I got the char sui steamed pork buns, and echo Wooldeyparkhound's description, which I won't bother repeating. These were definitely the best steamed pork buns I ever had. They were outstanding.
I also go the bok choy, which I enjoyed. Unlike Dcandohio, I found the portion size adequate. I recall the bok choy as being slightly bitter, but not unreasonably so, and generally very good.
My final dish was the chive dumplings, which are traditionally a dim sum favorite of mine. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. Unlike the chive dumplings I'm accustomed to, in which chives constitute a significant portion of the filling, here the chives were sort of baked into the wrapper (I assume, but I couldn't really tell), and were not part of the filling. I didn't get either the taste or texture of the chives, and basically felt like I was eating a normal, run of the mill dumpling that happened to have a green wrapper. As I said, I found that to be very disappointing.
I didn't get any alcohol, but I did get a glass of lychee juice, which was terrific.
I had room for dessert, but I passed, because I was starting to get sticker shock. My total bill came out to about $28 plus tip, which I feel is quite a bit for a single person for Saturday morning dim sum particularly since I was still a little hungry when I left. Overall, I felt that this might be a good date place if you're going for nice atmosphere, good food, and interesting experience, and is probably good for other special occasions, but I don't think the food is good value for the money. I doubt I'll wander in there alone again.
Edited to add: the platters in which you can order, say, an assortment of dumplings appear to be a relatively good deal based on the price, if you're willing to go that way. I think I would usually prefer to mix and match, myself.
I haven't been yet, but had far too much experience with this place when I lived in London. There, it was terrible. I hope they do a better job this side of the pond.
Overpriced...Underwhelmed. I was disappointed because I live in DC and was hoping that this could become a regular brunch spot.
It's basically a slick yuppie bar with mediocre dim sum. Music pounded in the background making conversation difficult. Okay, I guess, if you don't have anything witty to say to your blind date.

re: TomLikesGoodFood
Why would anyone expect a good dim sum experience comparable to a real Chinese dim sum restaurant from an trendy restaurant catering to yuppies who care more about the scene than the food? Boggles the mind.
re: dpan
I was prepared to love this place-great concept-cool space... but thought the food was BAD! I did not like anything I ordered- the dumpling plate (combo of several different types of dumplings) all tasted the same to me. The dessert (steamed bun w/ chocolate inside) had a dime-size of chocolate and the bun smelled bad- did not eat it.

1 year later, murder investigation still active
Updated On: Apr 04 2014 11:40:00 PM EDT
Saturday marks the first anniversary of Barbara Parchem's disappearance. A few weeks after the popular St. Johns County waitress vanished, her remains were found in a wooded area in northern Flagler County and the medical examiner ruled her death a homicide. But Parchem's killer still has not been brought to justice.
Investigators told Channel 4 Friday night that the investigation into Parchem's murder is still an active investigation. Detectives are still processing evidence they told Channel 4 they believe points to Parchem's daughter, Lilly Chavez, as a person of interest.
After a year of trying to determine how Parchem died, and how her remains wound up in a remote wooded area in Flagler County, detectives with the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office told Channel 4 they are slowly getting closer to making an arrest.
Detective Jeremy Russell said although tips have dried up, they are still gathering evidence and have new evidence that they are processing.
"Evidence is still coming back from labs," Russell said. "We continue to work on the evidence in this case. There is a substantial amount that we have that points to her [Chavez], but we want to make sure that in getting justice for Barbara, we put our best foot forward, and that's why it's taken time to present the best case we can."
Russell said because the investigation is still active he wouldn't release details about the new evidence.
Last May, investigators arrested Chavez and charged her with possession of a firearm, after seizing items from her home. That arrest is not connected to Parchem's murder.
However, an affidavit from the case reveals that Chavez and Parchem were riding together in the 67-year-old's car the day before she was reported missing. Investigators also said after reviewing Chavez's cellphone records, it appears the two traveled in areas other than where Chavez said they traveled.
The affidavit says that when officers investigated Parchem's vehicle after her disappearance, there was debris and fresh scratches on it. The vehicle also tested positive for the presence of blood.
"They are still looking for something in which to convict Lilly Chavez, when they really should be looking for the real killer," said Chavez's attorney, Thomas Cushman.
Cushman told Channel 4 that 44-year-old Chavez has suffered greatly just by being labeled a person of interest. Cushman said deputies are unfairly focusing on Chavez, especially when there's not enough evidence to make an arrest.
"She says people treat her like she has been convicted of harming her mother, which she would never do," said Cushman.
Cushman also told Channel 4 that Chavez hasn't been able to get a job as a result of people's perceptions in the community.
Detectives are still asking people to come forward if they have information and call St. Johns County Crimestoppers at 888-277-TIPS.

This post has me grinning foolishly with watery eyes this morning Lainy. Worthy of a response for sure! Glad to hear you have found someone that sounds so fantastic!
I know I don't post often anymore. Still on here almost daily, keeping up on everything, but this year was the roughest of my mourning, and I cried enough reading posts, responding to them would have done me in! I missed Dad more then the day he died this last year or so. It's getting better, I think putting his ashes in their final resting place helped on the anniversary. As did a few visits my Mom and sister had with a medium where he came through VERY loud and VERY clear. Even ordered that Michelle "give his baby girl (me) a hug from him, because she so needs it". And I did. He also acknowledged my sweet girl, Alyssa Breh, the fact that she was named after him (Breh - Herb (my Dad) spelt backwards), and was told that there is a very strong connection between them. Not just a name, but he died and a part of him lives on in her. Apparently we will see him in her more then any other of the grandchildren. I believe it, I see him in her eyes every day and she has just recently started the same things Katelyn did right after he passed... peek-a-boo, laughing and waving at a spot in her room. Amazing. Other exciting news is that after years of trying and treatments, my sister is expecting... TWINS! Found out on Good Friday after days of dreams of her sitting with Dad and him telling her it would all work out, and is due Christmas Day. Now, tell me Dad didn't have something to do with THAT timing!
I love you and miss you Lainy (and everyone else), but I'm still here. Just a bit more quiet
Have a lovely day, my CC family!

I am not yet Comcast subscriber. I just called Comcast and asled if there is any usage cap and the answere was NO. I noticed posts somewhere in this forum which indicated otherwise. Could anyone clarify ?
250GB Cap, but not really enforced unless you as massively and consistently over.
Yup, 250 GB is correct. There will even be a usage meter in your account page, if you sign up across. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Unless you download a lot of torrents, have a lot of viruses, or just running something in general that would be that cap up you're not going to anywhere close to that.
Thanks everyone for your responses.I looked for that info at their website but could not find it. Is it spelled out somewhere in its contract term?
»customer.comcast.com/Pages/FAQVi···e3b295e6It's also in the AUP»customer.comcast.com/Pages/HelpN···aup-lite"We've listened to feedback from our customers who asked that we provide a specific threshold for data usage and this would help them understand the amount of usage that would qualify as excessive. On October 1, 2008, we amended our Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) available at »www.comcast.net/terms/use/ to establish a specific monthly data usage threshold of 250 GB/month per account for all residential customers."--My place : »www.schettino.us
There's a cap?! First I heard about it.
nerburg is joking. If you check the forum links in this forum, you'll find this: »The Bandwidth Limits/Congestion Management Topic--Join Team Helix * I am praying for these friends .
Thanks everyone for your helps.
If you have teenagers/college students, or watch a lot of streaming video (Hulu, netflix, etc), or work from home or all of the above, it's fairly easy to exceed the cap. To put it in perspective, you could stream about 100 hrs of HD content (at 2.5 Gb/hr) per month, or just over 3 hrs per day. If you have multiple users, each accessing different content you can see that the cap is easy to exceed. Add the inevitable software updates, web streaming, and transmitting those 18 megapixel photos and other media, plus your Carbonite or Mozy backup and you'll blow by the cap very quickly.Some of Comcast's competitors don't have caps - ATT UVerse, Verizon Fios, and Clear are some examples. Comcast business is 30-50% more expensive but doesn't have caps or port blocking and allows hosting and static IP's for VPN, etc. That might be a reasonable alternative if you are concerned about caps.Hopefully Comcast will bump up the cap since the 250Gb figure is from 2008, and not really reflective of current usage trends.
Is the cap 250GB or 250Gb?
It is 250 GB (gigaBYTES)
Thanks. I just wanted to make sure.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I grew up around guns. When you're from a small town in the middle of Alaska it's just "what you do" and "how you live your life".
This particular gun is an AR-15. The same gun James Holmes used to kill and injure innocent people at the screening of the Dark Knight Rises in Aurora, Colorado.
I've shot this gun many times on my trips back to Alaska and I fully understand how powerful it is. It's one of the scariest guns on the planet. It scares me and I'm not scared of anything (except for ghosts and sharks and constantly worrying about people I love dying).
I'm not saying we should ban guns, I actually enjoy target practice and going hunting. I also think it's smart to know how to defend yourself and your family should you ever be in a life or death situation and really had to kill a deranged motherfu*#er, but I wouldn't be offended if we had a law banning assault rifles. If you've ever shot a semi-automatic weapon, you know sh*t gets pretty crazy, pretty quickly. In the wrong hands, this is the best gun to use if you're looking to kill as many people as possible in the shortest amount of time.

Allow me talk to we for a bit here on how to make your fudge turn out great as well as Im also going to show you steps to make clean up simple as well as your fudge may turn out great each time. To start with your going to need three things. First of all we're going to take a 13" X 9" cooking travel as well as we're going to line it with aluminum foil and permit a few of the aluminum foil to extend up from the cooking travel on either side thus we can find aluminum foil up quickly as well as take the fudge from the travel quickly whenever it is done. You want to take a stick of real cover (Certainly not Margarine) as well as cover the aluminum foil really well all over the place which your chocolate combination is going to touch it.
