I’m honestly amazed at how someone who goes to McDonald’s and Taco Bell can even think he’s an authority on eating healthy. #subtweet
I agree. Mind you, I don't go to McDonald's or Taco Bell because it's nasty crap anyway. - Ian May from FFHound(roid)!

What are you growing? - imabonehead
What I just started- red bell pepper, green bell pepper, greenbeans, wax beans, broccoli, carrots, yellow squash, zucchini, basil, rosemary, thyme, dill, and cilantro. I am waiting on my heirloom tomato, parsnip, more red bell pepper, and sugar snap pea seeds to arrive. I'll start some fingerling potatoes from a few that I'll pick up at the store. :) - Kelli H.
hmmm...freshly picked veggies for delicious salads! - imabonehead
Well, you got the freshly picked veggies part right. :P I am so excited about this that I even made a spreadsheet to track germination and harvest. :") - Kelli H.
Myfolia.com is a great tool for tracking things like that (it has even more milestone choices) if you want something searchable, etc. I love it so much that if I could program worth a damn, I'd be doing pro bono work for them trying to make an offline editor for them. http://myfolia.com/gardene... - Spidra Webster
"MyFoliage" might be a name for a site featuring sexting pics from males. (Or, at least, it SHOULD be.) - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ

March 27, 1854: The Crimean War begins.
 
The Crimean War was one of the first major conflicts to pit the Great Powers of Europe against each other following the Napoleonic Wars. It was fought between an alliance made up of the French, British, and Ottoman Empires (with support from Sardinia)  and the Russian Empire, with much of the action taking place on the namesake peninsula of Crimea, and it arose as a result of a number of different factors (though much of it centered around the slowly-decaying Ottoman Empire). In the summer of 1853, Tsar Nicholas I sent troops to Moldovia and Wallachia, principalities then under the control of the Ottomans, leading the Ottoman Empire to declare war on the Russians in October 1853, followed by the belated France and Great Britain on March 27 and 28 of the next year after Russian ships destroyed an Ottoman force at the Battle of Sinop. 
 
Like the American Civil War a decade later and an ocean away, the Crimean War was one of the first “modern” wars. Railroads, armored warships, and telegraphs were used, and William Howard Russell acted as one of the world’s first modern war correspondents when he covered the action for the Times; similarly, Roger Fenton presented some of the first examples of war photography to the public - his famous photo “Valley of the Shadow of Death” is pictured above. Wedged between the Napoleonic Wars and the 20th century, the Crimean War was also a conflict that combined elements of both, most obviously in that tactics had not yet caught up with technology. In addition, Russia’s defeat in the war proved to be one of the factors that led to Tsar Alexander II’s emancipation of Russia’s large population of serfs. The war cost hundreds of thousands of lives on both sides, and it was tremendously unpopular on both sides as well. 
 
Many of the cultural aspects of the war have outlived the military and political - for example, women like Mary Seacole and Florence Nightingale (both of whom treated soldiers at the famous Siege of Sevastopol) are better-known than the conflict they served during, and the “Charge of the Light Brigade” at the Battle of Balaclava was immortalized by Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s poem.

If you know me reasonably well, you know exactly how I feel about software installers that bundle crapware, the developers that choose to abuse their users this way, and the companies that make this possible.
crapware-bundles.png
If you have the nerve to contact me through my software site to discuss whether I'd be willing to cram crapware down my users' throats, it will probably go something like this...especially if you catch me when I am cranky and haven't had enough sleep. - April Russo
I left his email address intact in case any software users would also like to let him know how they feel about bundled crapware. Maybe if he gets enough emails he will quit and get himself a more ethical job. - April Russo
Oh, this gets better...the name on the email matches this LinkedIn profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in... Yes, it is the same Wayne Rosso. He went from public relations for a lot of big name artists to president of Grokster to pushing crapware bundles. Translation: helping artists to sell albums to helping fans steal them, helping users pirate software to peddling crapware to the same developers that had their software stolen. What a slimeball! - April Russo

I'm tired of people's tongue in cheek, accidental, "I didn't mean it that way" homophobia. When I rare back and totally and intentionally pop you in your mouth, know that it was 100% on purpose.

Good lord, every single thought gets shared to social media? Every single one?
Some people just don't have a filter...and now a place to send it. :( - Curtis (a) Jackson
I get it and this is more me just being irritated. I certainly don't want to establish some kind of decree on how people use socnets, but damn, I feel like I'm in this person's head and I'm trapped and can't get out. It's just too much. - Derrick
There's some folks on Twitter that I had to unfollow because their feeds were like they were jacked directly into their inner monologue. Still love 'em but it can get overwhelming. - Hookuh Tinypants

Chorizo Breakfast Tacos with Cilantro Pesto
"Scrambled eggs, spicy chorizo sausage, cotija cheese, and a quick cilantro pesto are stuffed into warm tortillas to make the perfect breakfast. I used this Cilantro-Cumin Pesto that I posted last week. It really is delicious, and I keep finding new ways to use it! This is a fun update on a southwestern classic. The cilantro pesto can easily be made ahead to speed up the morning process a bit." - Derrick from Bookmarklet
Good morning. - Derrick
That looks pretty darn good, Derrick. - Ian May
I love chorizo. - Trish R

Still no explanation about why my feeds are not feeding from FriendFeed, and I've checked my settings—they should be feeding. Apologies to followers, but I'm not hearing from tech support. Judging from the lack of feeds going through, it seems like many other people are having the same problem. Is this the end of FriendFeed? :-(
I still really like FriendFeed and find it helpful. It would be nice if they would post a "goodbye" message, if that's what's happening...or tell us when we can expect our feeds back, or why we're seeing some people's feeds and not others. Hello, FriendFeed? - Cathryn Hrudicka
Thanks, Ian and Muge, and thank you for the tip about backing up FriendFeed. It seems like only my Tumblr log is still feeding here. - Cathryn Hrudicka

"This snack, which I've made a few times over the last week, is a winner. So simple. It's just toast, spread with Boursin herbed cheese, topped with sliced fresh garden tomatoes, and sprinkled with coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper. We get freshly baked La Brea bakery French and Italian loaves at the local market, which of course makes a difference. You want a toast that will hold up to the tomato and not just collapse the minute it touches something moist. We just happen to have Boursin in the fridge, but you could easily use any spreadable cheese, like goat cheese, mixed in with a few minced herbs. Easy! And crazy good." - John (bird whisperer) from Bookmarklet
Those are some picture perfect tomatoes. - Derrick
Yeah, not like the tomatoes I have on hand at the moment. - John (bird whisperer)
has some tomatoes that look even better than that right now ---> - Katy S
That looks DELICIOUS. - Headless Gnad Kicker
Oh, yummy. I've got some tomatoes that need eating this weekend :D - Jennifer Dittrich
I love that type of soft, spreadable herbed cheese too. Hrm. - Derrick
I'd make this for breakfast tomorrow, but I don't have soft cheese at the moment. Maybe I'll use hummus instead. - John (bird whisperer)

108° in Vegas today. Even though it's a "dry heat," I still want to peel my skin off when I go outside. Blergh.
On a happy note, I am SO relieved I signed up for the program where they even out your electric bills over the year and you pay a set amount each month! $104 a month is so much better than $350 a month in June, July, and August. Phew! - Kelli H.
That sounds a lot more predictable, too. Your winter electric bills must be pretty low! - John (bird whisperer)
They are- we have gas heat and I am the electricity Nazi around the house. - Kelli H.
I did the "budget billing" thing in GA, too. So glad they have that! - The LB: #TeamMonique
:( - Tamara J.
I tried to translate that, but it broke the Celsius scale. - Eivind
I think the closest thing to experiencing your heat is me sitting in a sauna and yes, skin peeling was a consideration. - Janet:#TeamMonique
I definitely don't miss the summers in tucson! Stay cool! - ellbeecee from Android
I summer in casinos. - Eric - Too Hot
