Denon's $500 ethernet cable, ostensibly for use in Denon Link hookups, is easy to mock. But it's Amazon's readers who mock the hardest:
"If I could use a rusty boxcutter to carve a new orifice in my body that's compatible with this link cable, I would already be doing it. I can just imagine the pure musical goodness that would flow through this cable into the wound and fill me completely — like white, holy light."
"A caution to people buying these: if you do not follow the 'directional markings' on the cables, your music will play backwards. Please check that before mentioning it in your reviews."
"The first time I downloaded a picture to the printer over this cable, the bits moved so fast the printer collapsed into a naked singularity, right there in my office."
"I accidentally dropped one end of my Denon cable into a glass of Tuscan whole milk I was drinking. Later when I finished my milk (yeah, I still drank it; should I not have done that?), my right arm (lost in an accident in 1987) spontaneously grew back.
Is that normal?"
This is perhaps the best Amazon reviews page of all time. Don't miss it, or the tags customers associate with this product, which include "from the future," "I can't believe it's not butter," "as effective as dog hair," "ecstacy godlike troll-killing superWMD ubercable," and "lol."

Strikers Sign Midfielder Shawn Chin
The Fort Lauderdale Strikers today announced the signing of midfielder Shawn Chin for the 2014 NASL campaign.
Chin, 24, grew up in Miami and attended Felix Varela High School, where he was named Miami-Dade County Player of the Year in 2007 as his school's leading scorer. He started his college soccer career Boston College before transferring to the University of South Florida prior to his junior year.
"Shawn Chin is a local player with professional experience that our coaching staff has targeted for our club since last Fall," said Strikers Managing Director Tim Robbie. "His signing reinforces our commitment to identify and acquire local talent for our team."
The Miami native joins several players on the Strikers roster with local ties. Gonzalo De Mujica, Mark Anderson, Manny Gonzalez, Aly Hassan, Darnell King and Martin Nunez all played youth or collegiate soccer in South Florida.
Chin is no stranger to the North American Soccer League (NASL), having signed his first professional contract with FC Edmonton in 2011. He joined the Minnesota Stars (now Minnesota United FC) in 2012 and spent last season with now-defunct USL Pro side VSI Tampa Bay FC. In 2008, Chin made two appearances for the United States Under-20 National Team.
Fans can follow Shawn on Twitter @_shawnchin

The restauration of the stairwell finally completed at the Jugendstilsenteret in Ålesund
Welcome back to 1907
The museum received 1 million kroners (80.000 Eur) in grants from a private foundation for the restoration of the main staircase at Jugendstilsenteret. The target was to find and replace the original colours with original techniques and materials as far as possible back to 1907. An old fashionable material, coccolite was also discovered. Coccolite is a product of plaster, strengthened with hair from coconuts. It was not a very common material in the beginning of 20 century and was probably imported from Germany. The coccolite was both firesafe and a very strong material used indoors for walls. The wooden staircase has also been restored and repaired. It has been treated with linen oil, and gaps have been repaired with hand made iron sticks. The lighting is a copy from about 1907. The last part of the project was to make copies of the tiles in terracotta colour for the hall. Nowadays the staircase shines like the original in delicate light green colours and imitated oak on the walls.

What great news it is to hear about the redevelopment plan created by the Palmer Village Development originators (Jeff Smith, David Jenkins, Chris Jenkins, Doug Stimple and Jim Johnson head the Project Team). Not only does the plan complement Confluence Park, but it opens up whole new worlds of opportunity for the City as a destination for visitors; as the site of interesting new places to live; and as a city-center jewel to brighten a community dogged, like so many municipalities, by an aging infrastructure. And, according to Smith and others, Colorado Springs is breaking new ground in the way the Colorado Springs Urban Renewal Authority, the City of Colorado Springs, the Developers and private landowners are working together. Hats off to those of you involved…and may you all live 25-years to see the project completed!
Moving along to the business of real estate, here's what's been happening…
Transaction report
Light reporting this week. Now that all the forecasts are out on the commercial real estate market, guess you are all busy trying to make it happen.
Good news from NAI Highland Commercial Group's Jim Spittler who just closed on a land parcel located on the southeast corner of Babcock and Galley. The new owner, investor Heidi, LLC, purchased 19 acres at a cost of $300,000. Spittler, listing agent, worked with buyer's agent, Thayer Thomas on the deal.
Also from NAI Highland, John Onstott reports that he represented the buyer, Osprey Construction Management, on the new lease of 1,500 square feet at 646 Elkton Drive in the Elkton Trade Center.
Over at the Olive Real Estate Group, industrial specialist Brian Zuck represented the Tenant, Pro Tech Auto and Truck in the lease of 2,000 square feet of industrial space at 1316 Pecan Street.
Demographic update
Did you know that Colorado Springs is projected to grow to more than 600,000 people by the year 2006 – representing 228,422 households and 160,699 families? That's right, according to U.S. Census Bureau statistics sent along by CACI Marketing Systems, a commercial demographer and supplier of data to commercial real estate companies, corporations and municipalities. Colorado Springs today consists of approximately 550,000 people with an average household income of $57,801. By 2006, those figures will rise to 600,401 households with an average income of $78,080. Another interesting statistic: by 2006, based on the U.S. Census Bureau's data, CACI estimates that 15.4 percent of all households in Colorado Springs will be generating $100,000-$149,000 of annual income – up from only two percent in 1990 and 9.8 percent in 2001.
The demographic and income profile also shows that 14.5 percent of our population is made up of 25 to 34-year-olds; another 17.5 percent are 35 to 44 and 21.6 percent are between 45 and 64. After that, the numbers decline dramatically, with 4.9 percent of the local population falling between 65 and 74 years of age. By 2006, the number of all citizens 65 and older will climb to 9.2 percent – up from 8.7 percent in 2001.
The community's racial breakdown is also interesting with the largest growth sector among Hispanic families, growing from 11.3 percent of the Colorado Springs population in 2001 to 12.1 percent in 2006.
ERA Shields announces record 2001
On Jan. 22, 125 brokers and corporate employees gathered to hear the announcement that ERA Shields produced the area's highest average agent production of over $5.2 million. Broker/Owner Bill Hurt credits his agents' performance to the company's new affiliation with ERA and its resources, as well as outstanding customer service and being the Principal Cendant Mobility broker. During his "Annual State of the Company," address, Hurt also announced the result of a customer survey, indicating a 91 percent customer satisfaction level and the generosity of ERA Shields employees – donating more than $60,000 to area nonprofit organizations and hours of volunteer time.
Richmond American Homes' update
Reflecting the national economy, MDC Holdings headquartered in Denver report that it received 791 home orders in January 2002, down from 812 a year ago. While the company was not reporting specifically on Colorado Springs housing starts, the MDC Colorado's division says that it did open three new model home sites in three Colorado subdivisions in January – and expects to complete 34 additional model homes in 13 subdivisions during the remainder of first quarter 2002. Richmond American Homes also continues to be the state's largest homebuilder.
Custom lot sales off and running at The Spires
As a follow-up to reports from two weeks ago, Michelle Grove Reiland says that she's already sold 40 of the 65 lots opened in her latest filing at The Spires. Interesting note: all sales were to builders. Grove-Reiland believes the absence of individual buyers reflects the current economy…

The Colorado Energy Office (CEO) is pleased to announce the 8 awarded compressed natural gas (CNG) station locations for the first round of statewide funding through the ALT Fuels Colorado grant program. The 8 stations awarded span the entire I-25 corridor, from Trinidad to Ft. Collins, and expand all the way west to Glenwood Springs. By the time station construction is completed, a CNG vehicle will be able to travel the entire north/south distance of the state with access to fueling stations.
The second round of funding will open for application in early 2015. Subsequent rounds will be announced HERE, as well as the program distribution list. If you would like to be added to the list, contact Transportation Program Manager Wes Maurer.
The ALT Fuels Colorado grant program is a partnership between the Colorado Energy Office (CEO) and the Regional Air Quality Council (RAQC), created to award grants for partial funding of compressed natural gas fueling station equipment, and co-located electric vehicle charging and propane auto gas station equipment. The program is designed to remove barriers to the adoption of alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs), and address the lack of fueling infrastructure for them. Alt Fuels Colorado will distribute approximately $30 million over four years, between 2014 and 2017, to incentivize adoption of alternative fuel vehicles.

Outstanding students recognizedYamkova, Drew, Huff, and Zelasco honoredThursday, April 10th, 2014 Issue 15, Volume 18.
To be chosen for the recognition, students must stand out among their peers, have outstanding achievements in academics and community volunteerism. Addressing the four honored students, FUHSD superintendent Dale Mitchell, Ed.D., noted, "We have reason for hope and optimism for the future from what you have done so far." Nataliya Yamkova was nominated for the student of the month honor by Oasis High teacher Bennielyn Verrett. "Nataliya transferred (to Oasis) needing to concentrate and turn things around," Verrett said. Over the last two years, "Nataliyas attitude really changed; now her academics are right up there with tennis which allowed her to meet one of her goals â to qualify for a four year scholarship," Verrett explained. Yamkova, who immigrated with her mother from Ukraine when she was young, has played tennis for Fallbrook High for three years. She helped the team win the Avo League Championship in 2011, has won three tournaments, and is #3 in California satellite rankings. She volunteers as a tennis teacher, makes Ukranian cookies at Christmas to take to homeless shelters and is collecting clothes for a Ukrainian orphanage as well as tennis racquets which she wants to deliver herself. She was described as respectful, driven and happy. Yamkova will attend Palomar College for a year before going to a university. After thanking Verrett and everyone at Oasis, she said, "I want to play tennis [in college] and pursue nursing to help everyone." Hailey Drew was selected for the student of the month honor based on the recommendation of Fallbrook High coaches Anthony Morrow and Dan Bachman. Bachman said that Drew, a second generation Fallbrook student, has played on the varsity basketball team since halfway through her freshman season, was second league in basketball, and all league in softball, the sport in which she has received a college scholarship. He also talked about Drews leadership ability, "She leads through example and verbal acumen to command respect; it comes naturally for her on and off the court." Morrow pointed out Drews accomplishments off the field. She has volunteered many hours at the Angel Society, is a leader of Fallbrook Warrior Fellowship, "steps up when something is not right and says something, can always be counted on to be there and represents everything about Fallbrook students that we want people to know, hard work, dedication, caring, and academics." Drew thanked her teachers/coaches and parents and said she is going to McNeese State University in Louisiana "to major in criminal justice and go into military or federal law enforcement." Ben Huff was honored as a student of the month after being nominated by coach John Kroger. "Unlike the stereotypical teenager, Ben breaks the mold across the board," Kroger said. He arrives 30 minutes early for practice, Kroger said, and is the last kid to leave. Described as a go-getter, he volunteered to help the JV team after varsity practice. "He gave up his summer to play basketball and help the JV team; he is selfless â broke the record to take the most charges for the team." Because of that, Kroger said he has had two concussions, one trip to the hospital, and numerous trips to the doctor. Huff was described as hard-working, with passion and work ethic. A three year letterman in basketball, he was given the Warrior Award at the teams banquet, was named honorable mention in league and was just named to the North County All-Star team. Huff thanked his coach "for inspiring me;" his parents, "my biggest supporters;" and his uncle, "my best friend." He said he is going to Arizona State University to major in kinesiology with plans to become a physical therapist. Brittney Zelasco was honored as a student of the month based on the recommendation of teacher Sharon Griener. "It was an honor for me to nominate Brittney for student of the month," said Greiner who has had Zelasco in her ASL (American Sign Language) class for three years. Because of her skills and abilities, Zelasco was moved up to fourth-year ASL. Besides signing for Greiner at open houses, Zelasco has participated in floral design, yearbook, ASB, and Link crew; started the FHS recycle program, is the current pep commissioner and a Girl Scout besides volunteering at REINS, the Oceanside Animal Shelter, nursing homes and with North Coast Churchs program for fifth/sixth graders. She also plays softball and volleyball. Zelasco was described as having spiritual strength and tenacity, being caring, able, and determined. Like the other students, she thanked the student of the month committee and said she was "super honored" to be there and congratulated the other honorees. After being accepted to several universities, she has chosen to attend Azusa Pacific "to major in communications and psychology to become a speech pathologist or ASL interpreter." The first awards were presented by Karl Fekete of American Legion Post 365, who gave each student a personalized Lamp of Knowledge medal. In addition, the students received many certificates of recognition and gifts from local organizations and businesses for their accomplishments. The Fallbrook Student of the Month breakfast is funded by generous local businesses and organizations, including Major Market, Pedros Tacos, Fallbrook PTSA, Law Offices of Faunce, Singer & Oatman, Fallbrook Vintage Car Club, and Sheris Flowers. To nominate an FUHSD high school student for this honor, email email@example.com. 2 comments

This homemade costume for adults entered our 2010 Halloween Costume Contest.
We are lego pirates sailing the seven seas, waiting for trick-or-treaters to board our ship! The people behind the mask our myself (Erick) and my girlfriend Heather. These costumes were homemade out of cardboard and hand painted. I do not have instructions though. I looked at an image of a lego mini-figure and kind of assumed some dimensions off of that.
Happy Halloween!

Major: Psychology
I am from Kumasi, Ghana. I am the first generation of my family to come to college. I believe that God knows where He is taking each one of His children therefore; consult Him. No other school would have been a fit for me. Crown has been a place where I have come to grow and experience diversity in its humblest form. I am blessed and privileged to be part of Crown College because it is a community committed to nurturing its students to become God?s choice vessel. I recommend Crown to everybody that has the desire to see God transform his/ her life. One of the anxieties I had about coming to college was being able to live on my own for the first time away from my family more than three days; I had never done that. You will miss them but at Crown you will receive a family that comes along side you. Come and see for yourself!

FirstGroup Plc statement: Extension of First ScotRail Franchise

Press Releases
FirstGroup Plc statement: Extension of First ScotRail Franchise
03 April 2008
FirstGroup plc, the UK's leading transport company, today welcomed the announcement by the Scottish Government that the First ScotRail franchise will be extended for three years to November 2014.
Commenting on the franchise extension, Moir Lockhead, Group Chief Executive said: "We are delighted that the Scottish Government has taken the decision to extend the First ScotRail franchise for three years.
"Since the start of the franchise in October 2004 we have invested more than £25m in Scotland's railway. More and more people are choosing rail as their preferred means of travel. The number of passengers using First ScotRail services has grown by 19% and performance has improved significantly with delays caused by First ScotRail reduced by 50%.
"Our First ScotRail staff, led by Mary Dickson and her team, work hard to deliver excellent customer service. First ScotRail's commitment to deliver the best service for Scotland every day has driven a programme of continuous improvement and led to this franchise extension."
The agreement creates an investment fund of more than £70m, for control by Transport Scotland, to further improve Scotland's railway. This has been achieved by converting future estimated revenue share payments into an investment fund, in return for a change in First ScotRail's revenue share and support arrangements.
The revenue share and support arrangements have been amended to further incentivise First ScotRail to continue to grow passenger revenue. The fund can be used for additional train services, to improve journey times, connections and quality of services which will bring direct passenger benefits.
Moir Lockhead continued: "This is an exciting time for rail passengers in Scotland with a number of major projects underway including Airdrie-Bathgate services and the Glasgow Airport Rail Link.
"The franchise extension also means that First ScotRail will be operating Scotland's railway during the Commonwealth Games in 2014."
Notes to editors
1. FirstGroup was awarded the ScotRail franchise on 20 August 2004.
2. The First ScotRail franchise officially commenced on 17 October 2004.
3. The initial franchise was awarded for seven years with specified performance targets and a possible three year extension available.
4. The First ScotRail franchise is one of the largest in the UK with more than 2000 trains a day and 79 million passenger journeys a year.
5. The revenue share and support arrangements have been changed to reflect current revenue levels and the trigger levels have been widened as follows:
a. The 50% share and support trigger level has increased from 2% to 10% of revenue; and
b. The 80% share and support trigger level has increased from 6% to 14% of revenue.
6. The agreement introduces a profit sharing mechanism which will make a share of profit in excess of targets available for re-investment in services.

AutoFair Blog
Mike Joy's Food Lion AutoFair Blog - Thursday
We're coming to Auto Fair this morning! The Ranchero is done and like most projects, the hardest part is looking at the finished car and asking "Do I REALLY want to sell this car???"
No, I really don't. Its a great, rust-free example of a pretty rare car/truck, and they sure aren't making any more like it (except in Australia, and they won't bring those here). If I didn't have a pickup I could maybe make a case for keeping it, but its time to make some room in the garage for a new project. I'm hoping the next owner will get to drive it more than I've had time to.
Like most projects, we ended up doing more than we intended... new bumpers, new tires, some new suspension parts and the repairs I detailed in earlier blogs. But its been a fun project, and its a really cool little car to drive.
There's just one thing missing... somehow, our Ranchero has lost its grille emblem!
Fortunately, one of America's biggest vendors of Ford restoration parts, Dennis Carpenter, has his factory and showroom located just north of the speedway on US29. And even better, they have the best price I could find on a new 1965 grille emblem! So I'll pick one up on the way to the track and install it there.
So come on over to Car Corral spot CC-2129 on the frontstretch of the oval and have a look.
Mike Joy's Food Lion AutoFair Blog - Wednesday
Okay, we're almost ready for our assault on Food Lion Auto Fair tomorrow. Sunscreen, passes, map of the layout, comfortable shoes, shopping list. I need to get some new webbing for my tie-downs, and I'm usually looking for neat old signs and license plates... Auto Fair is always a great place to find used parts and pieces.
Our 1965 Ranchero is just about ready to go, and we now know that it will be in Car Corral space 2129. That's along the frontstretch wall of the superspeedway, between start/finish and turn 4.
When we pulled it out of the garage after a long slumber, it started right up but had a carburetor leak. So we shipped the Autolite 1100 carb to Recarbco in Calif. Noah Burt and company not only rebuild carbs, but every one gets tested on a running engine before they ship it back. It looks and works just like brand new.
Noah said the carb had some debris in it that suggested crap in the gas tank. I know that tank is NLA (no longer available), so I didnt want to mess with it. We hauled the Ranchero to Ken Nicks at Eclectic Rods and Restoration in Jonesville. Ken pulled the tank, acid etched the inside, flushed the lines and changed the filters. The fuel system is all clean and good to go.
While checking the car over, they noted three of the four drum brake adjusters were rusty and frozen. Off they came for refurbishing, and now everything works as it should. You can see Ken is in a hurry to get everything done!
Almost done. Marvin reworked and painted an old scrape behind the driver's door, and painted the spare wheel to match the four wheels on the car. The carpet looked a little shabby, so I called Stock Interiors in Seneca, SC, and they shipped a new molded carpet in just two working days.
There's only one more thing we need... and I can pick it up on the way to the speedway Thursday, I'll tell you about it tomorrow.

Mike Joy's Food Lion AutoFair Blog - Tuesday
Hi Everyone,
I sure hope you are enjoying getting ready for this weekend's Food Lion Auto Fair. We don't use our '65 Falcon Ranchero for hauling parts now that we have a full-size pickup. So as cute as it is and as fun to drive as its always been, we are bringing the Ranchero to the car corral to sell, or may run it over the auction block this weekend at AutoFair.
Ford first made a Ranchero in 1957 by taking a two door station wagon and lopping off most of the roof and adding a pickup bed. They correctly reasoned that many people wanted the utility of a pickup without the ride and handling of a, well... a truck! By 1959, Chevy had joined the game with their ElCamino.
In 1960, Ford debuted the compact Falcon and the Ranchero moved to its lighter, smaller body. The early (1960-63) Falcons look much like a worn bar of soap but folks love them. Tim Suddard, publisher of a great magazine, "Classic Motorsports", recently sold his 1963 V8 Ranchero for over $20,000!
In 1964, Ford squared up the lines of the Falcon and added a "sweep spear" down the side. This style was used for two years, and our car is pretty much the way it rolled off the assembly line in September 1965.
The exterior is medium blue poly and the interior color is called "palamino", which sounds much better than "tan". This was a base model Ranchero, so it has a bench seat, crank windows, and no chrome trim down the side.
It still has its original 200 cubic inch, 120 hp inline 6-cylinder engine. The 3 speed manual transmission has a column shifter, and it drives through a 3.50:1 limited slip rear end. No power steering needed as its quite a light car by today's standards, and it has drum brakes all around and new 13" tires.
Its a great little car, always turns heads and gets a lot of interest from folks who dont remember the Ranchero and think its a one-of-a-kind custom.
Tomorrow I'll detail some of the things we've repaired or replaced as part of the get-ready process. Then look for the Ranchero in the car corral out on the 1.5 mile oval near the start finish line, or in the staging lanes for the auction, and I'll look foward to seeing you this weekend.

The next step in our series of components of natural skin care products is to explore the definition, uses, and natural versions of humectants.
A humectant is a substance that can absorb water from the air to keep a food or skin care product moist. The applications to skin care here are obvious. Skin needs to be hydrated to look and feel its best, and humectants can pull moisture from the atmosphere and deliver it to thirsty skin. Another interesting use for humectants is in those desiccant packets that you sometimes find in food, shoes, or other products. A little packet of a desiccant such as silica gel will be packaged up along with a certain product. Therefore, the humectant will pull moisture out of the product, such as food or shoes, and keep it from becoming damp and moldy. The same mechanism is at work when it comes to natural skin care products, though the goal is to trap moisture in the skin to keep it nice and hydrated and youthful looking.
What makes a humectant do its job is its hydrophilic chemical structure. It will have hydrophilic groups such as hydroxyls, amines, and/or carboxyls that attract water molecules and bond with them. As you might imagine this is most useful in natural skin care products such as conditioners, lotions, body butters, facial moisturizers, and other moisturizing products. Products such as ones designed for damaged or extra dry need extra doses of humectants to attract moisture back to damaged hair.
There is a wide variety of humectants in use in natural skin care products, including shea butter, aloe vera, glycerin, collagen, and beeswax. Humectants can also be used to make a product more absorbable into the skin and increase the time in which the compound is actively working on the skin. As you might imagine, this is one reason that it is important to choose the best natural skin care. All skin care products are absorbed into your skin. Whether a lotion, facial moisturizer, cosmetic, nail polish, shampoo, conditioner, or other hair product, the skin is incredibly absorbent and will absorb whatever product is applied to it. Some people advocate that you not put anything on your skin that you wouldnt feel comfortable eating. This is because you absorb topical products just like you digest food, and either way it ends up inside you having an impact on your body, whether is synthetic or natural skin care products.
It is definitely worth it to be careful about what you put onand by extensionin your body. Toxins that wind up in your food supply or in your skin care products can accumulate and have health impacts for years. If you are a woman of reproductive age then these toxins can accumulate enough to be passed on to your gestating or breastfeeding children. This is a serious health concern, and one that is not fully understood. It is best not to wait until the science begins to catch up with our intuition, but just to go ahead and select only the purest and best natural skin care products for yourself and your family.

Bacon Colby Jack Sliders
9 CommentsIs it Tuesday already? This dreary central Florida week is not treating me well! Where is the sun? Where is the cloudless blue sky? It's the week of Independence Day for crying out loud! At least we have some yummy food to look forward to, amIright? We Americans love our holiday food! I think sliders are a fun 4th of July food since they can be taken to a party where everyone is bringing appetizers or you can just cook up a bunch for your family to enjoy. It leaves the option of enjoying little bits of other food since you don't have to fill up on a huge burger in one sitting. And come back Thursday morning because I'm working on a yummy side to go with these delicious mini burgers!
Last week, I ended up being way ahead of schedule with my blog, and because of that I spent the whole weekend basking in my success. If you're wondering when I take the time to plan my recipes, it's during the weekend. Only I forgot to do that this time! So Sunday I found myself slightly panicky because I didn't feel any sort of inspiration or any good recipe ideas. Monday morning came, and I suddenly was hit with two amazing ideas! I was going to re-create a red, white, and blue cheesecake that I made for my family a few 4th of July's ago, and then I was going to come up a with a yummy new macaroni and cheese recipe. I cooked both of those things all day yesterday and photographed the process, only to come to a screeching halt in the evening when neither of them turned out well.
My cheese cake massively deflated and cracked, the crust wouldn't slice out with the rest of the cake, and the macaroni was a disaster as the cheese didn't form a cream but instead stayed kind of gloopy in some random spots. Waste. of. time. I can't stand wasting! The ingredients are wasted and the time is wasted, and I have nothing to show for a whole day of work! I'm sure that one day soon I'll work more on these things, but for now since I like being on a tight schedule, this was just bad news.
Of course Pasan was super encouraging, as usual, and I in my pit of self-annoyance didn't want to hear any of it. No one wants to fail at something, and it's hard to see failure as a learning process when it's still fresh. But we have to move on and if there's anything that sounds like a mouth-watering fix to my dreary week blues, it's these sliders! I've been trying to think of fun food ideas to take to 4th of July parties, and I've come to the conclusion that I was just over thinking it. Who doesn't love a juicy, flavorful slider? Well, probably vegetarians, but I tried to throw you a bone with cheesecake and mac and cheese and that fell flat. Next time though! You can find the buns for sliders in the bakery section of grocery stores. I've noticed that they advertise them as being "great for sliders" – a sure sign that it's grilling season!
What food are you most looking forward to on this 4th of July?
Bacon Colby Jack Sliders
Makes 8 sliders
1 lb ground beef, preferably organic and 80/20
1 tsp sea salt
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 tsp garlic salt
4 slices applewood smoked bacon, preferably organic
3 pepper colby jack cheese, 8 small slices (or 4 large slices, available at the deli)
1 cup brown mushrooms, sliced
2 cups arugula
8 whole wheat dinner rolls, about 3 inches in diameter (available in the bakery section of most grocery stores)
2-3 tbsp butter, melted
4 long bamboo skewers, cut in half, or 8 short skewers
1) Slice rolls in half and set aside on a large plate or platter with arugula and cheese.
2) Mix ground beef with the herbs and spices in a small bowl using your hands. When the spices are evenly mixed throughout the ground beef, form 8 patties about 4 inches in size and place them on a large plate.
2) Cook bacon in a skillet until it's browned on each side and remove to a plate covered with paper towels. Break each slice into 4 equal pieces.
3) Cook the mushrooms in the same skillet (without emptying the bacon grease) on medium heat for about 5 minutes. Remove to a small bowl.
4) Heat a grill pan or large skillet on medium high heat. When it's hot, place the patties on the pan. Press the patties with a spatula occasionally as they cook to keep them from swelling up. Flip the burgers when they're about half way cooked on the bottom side. After they burgers are cooked to your liking, place them on the large plate again (this time covered with a paper towel.) Place the slices of cheese on the patties and then put the burgers in the oven or microwaave to keep warm while you prepare the buns.
5) Brush the melted butter on the top and bottom (insides) of the buns and place them butter side down on the hot grill pan. Press down on the tops and let them cook for about 1-2 minutes. Place them back on the platter when they're browned on the bottoms.
6) To plate the burgers, place the bottom bun on the platter, then add a burger patty topped with cheese, 3-4 mushrooms, 2 pieces of bacon, arugula, and the top of the bun. Stick a skewer through the middle to secure the slider. Repeat with the rest of the burgers and serve warm and fresh.

Hi Everyone,
I've never owned a Ford before but my wife's been nagging me that our Volvo S60 T5R was too big/too thirsty and she wanted a smaller car.
Having researched thoroughly it's clear that the new Fiesta is best in class and the car to have, better still our local Ford dealership is offering cracking deals on ex fleet cars. I went to arrange a test drive and was very impressed with the level of service I received, I was shown a few cars and chose a 1.4 Titanium in Avalon for my 3 day test drive. I explained that I would be testing back to back with a Jazz as they also were highly rated.
I then test drove a Jazz for 3 days also allowing the missus and me to drive them back to back, the Ford had it straight away, faster, better handling, quiter, much better damping and a real looker. Not as practical but I'm not a coffin dodger yet! The Honda salesman phoned me 3 times to ask if I wanted the car, I got so peed off I returned the car after hours with a polite note saying I was buying the Fiesta and don't call me again.
Took the Fiesta back after 3 days and started talking money, it was up at £12,500 a 2009 model with 2000 miles having been a fleet car for 3 months and the other 3 sitting on the forecourt not selling. After much thought I decided I wanted a newer car and we started discussing a Zetec 1.4, these were £10,995, I said I wanted one in Vision and was told none were available, I was then shown a silver Jan 2010 car, I liked it but still preferred the Vision colour, after much haggling the price came down to £9250. I then said "we're nearly there, chip another £250 and I'll take it, my argument being that as a town car it needed parking sensors which the £250 would pay for, they could either fit them retrospectively and I'd pay £9250 or chip £250 and I'd fit them. We stalled and I was told they would call back after speaking to the manager ( yeah right ) 2 hours later they called and guess what, they had found a car in Vision my preferred colour and it had the City Pack fitted ( parking sensors & folding mirrors ) result! it was also newer an Apr 2010 car. To further confuse I was offered the Titanium for £9500 just £250 more aargh!!
I liked the Titanium but in truth none of the extra kit was essential, nice to have but not can't live without, also it was a Nov 09 car versus a Apr 2010 car so 5 months more warranty plus a 2010 car which I thought must be worth more come resale, and the Titanium didn't have parking sensors so... I said I'd take the Zetec. They told me it would be ready for collection the following week ( this wednesday 7th July ) and were kind enough to supply us with a 1.4 Style + to run around in.
They phoned me yesterday to say they had the car, it had been pre checked and was being valeted, would I like to take it out and make sure was happy with it.
Nice touch so I spent 2 hours driving it yesterday, took it back all was fine and collect tomorrow.
So long winded story but I'm very impressed with their customer service, so much so that I wrote to the salesperson's MD with a letter of commendation.
I think £9250 for a 1.4 Zetec with City Pack and less than 2000 miles and 3 months old is a good buy but you guys are the experts, is this a good deal? anyone else got this car and are you happy with it, looking forward to 37mpg instead of 15 and my wife is happy which is rare, also just seen that it placed 5th in the recent Which reliability survey ahead of the jazz which came 6th linky - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/news/5894686/Honda-tops-reliability-survey.html
