Why can't you use your bookmarks?
They're all on Yahoo and accessed through the toolbar. Hasn't been a problem till now.

Edit: I solved my own problem. Del.icio.us already has an add-on that will work with FF3, and it's an all-around better system for managing bookmarks than Yahoo's.

Anybody else having trouble with the Yahoo toolbar? It won't show my buttons, no matter how I refresh the thing. I like Firefox, but it's a hassle not being able to use my bookmarks, to say the least.

I'm not expecting a lot of agreement here, but slow airs in general leave me cold. Most people just don't know how to play them; what should be a richly emotional performance too easily becomes overblown and bathetic. Never mind that there's no surer way to kill the momentum of a session than to gra...

Sorry, forgot to include a recipe: Tartiflette Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel and slice one and a half pounds of potatoes. Bring a pint of cream to simmer in a pan, add salt and pepper, and cook the potatoes in that. Cut a quarter-pound of good slab bacon into cubes and fry, adding a little chopp...

I've got a bunch of bacon from Polyface in the pan right now. Humanely and naturally raised ("Respecting and honoring the pigness of the pig is a foundation for societal health"), humanely slaughtered, cured with nothing but salt and pepper and sugar. Delicious as all hell.

Except that as a general rule, all B-c-d triplets are played with a c#, regardless of the key you're in. That c# goes by so fast it doesn't matter that it's not in the key of the tune. I've never heard anyone use a c natural in these triplets, not to say that it can't be done but really there's no ...

I made a big pot of black bean soup once. I'd just gotten some habanero peppers, and since I'd never coked with them before I didn't realize how hot they were. I diced up four or five of them, sauteed them in olive oil with onions, garlic, cumin, and oregano, and dumped all that into the pot of bean...

For heaven's sake. If I worried about whether I'd be dishonoring a tune by learning it on my particular instrument, I'd have a stupidly small repertoire. Sheesh.

Stone Ruination IPA. So called because once you've tasted it, your taste for any other IPA is ruined. Hard to find and expensive when you do, but so, so worth it. Even harder to find is Stone Arrogant basmati. Awesome stuff. Edit: hell and blood, Dale, are we in Romper Room or something? The name of...

Hey Rick, I'm really sorry to hear you're giving up the box. I hope your mando playing is still unimpaired?
