A quote I just saw: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

Oh yes, I agree. When we moved here, I spent a good time pulling up 3 different weeds. I found out later, that they were beneficial to butterflies. So, I keep some of them, but pull them in the places where it looks ugly. Now, I have a ton of butterflies in my yard during the spring. - Anika

True. It works the same with people, too. Some of the "showcase" variety aren't very substantial when the going gets rough, but some of the "weeds" turn out to be incredibly insightful and resourceful. ;-) - Mark J

Who's got the best verse on this? - TINY REPTILIAN PYROMANIAC

It's really hard to choose, but GZA has the best lines and closes this off in a way that says this is a force to be reckoned with. Ahh... 1993! - TINY REPTILIAN PYROMANIAC

Deck has the best verse, as he does on most Wu joints. - Bryan R. Adams

Deck tends to dominate their best posse cuts. It's like he feeds off their already off-the-scale collective energy and pushes it up a notch. That's his superpower. - TINY REPTILIAN PYROMANIAC

But GZA's verse on this track tends to stick in my mind long after the song is over. - TINY REPTILIAN PYROMANIAC

...And I'm the dirtiest thing in sight. Matter of fact bring out the girls and let's have a mud fight. - Remo

In this case... GZA - Remo

Watching this again, definitely GZA, but RZA's verse is a stand out too. 1993. And to think this introductory single was followed in very close succession by the album Enter the Wu-tang, Gravediggaz, Liquid Swords, ODB's first (which is a sentimental favorite for me), OBCL, Ironman and Forever. All by 1997. - TINY REPTILIAN PYROMANIAC

"The basic idea was a pancake with all of the flavours of a sweet potato pie or a sweet potato casserole. I pretty much just took my basic pancake recipe with some of the flour replaced with whole wheat flour and added some pureed sweet potato long with some spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. For the sweet potato puree, you just need to cook a sweet potato until it is nice and soft and mash it up. I like to slow roast sweet potatoes as they caramelize and that adds a ton of flavour. The Sweet potato pie pancakes turned out great! They were nice and light and fluffy and moist and good. I really enjoyed the sweet potato flavour in the pancakes. I served the sweet potato pancakes with maple syrup, toasted pecans and topped them off with a slice of melting butter." - Derrick from Bookmarklet

Don't know what brand you're talking about, but seeing as how this industry puts bread on my table, it worries me when people have a bad time with dealers. And with the industry being in the state it's in right now, I can't fathom how you'd get treated poorly. If you're a mind to, go to the brand web site and lodge a complaint/concern. Also increasingly the auto companies are increasing their presence on social media. @ScottMonty is the go to guy for Ford. You can find him on FFeed and on twitter - MoTO Bott

Yeah, I'm a little surprised, too, Barry. I don't know if this makes you worry less or more, but I drive a Honda, so I'm already not helping your state's economy. The dealership in WI was wonderful to me. The dealership here? Worst. Experience. Ever. No exaggeration. - lris

Well Honda or otherwise, the dealer experience has to change. Competition is that stiff, margins are that thin. I'm surprised frankly that you were treated that way at a Honda dealership (and yes, I forgive you). I'd always assumed (perhaps wrongly) that they were "different". If you're ever in the market for a Ford, give me a holler. But definitely avail yourself of the survey and any online presence the company may have. - MoTO Bott

Wow. That was a lot of upper-management groveling just now on the phone. Apparently there have been Meetings today, and trainings scheduled, and I can rent from them at a 25% discount from now on, and I have the general manager's cell phone for "anything I might need" (the mind boggles), and I may not have to pay for my next routine maintenance...

Very glad to hear this! My sense (from Saturn, at least, and from what little I've seen of Toyota) is that those post-service surveys go to Corporate (who/wherever the hell that is) and they are Very Very Important to the dealership's relationship with Corporate. The dealership does NOT want your red pen of death on that survey and will do whatever they have to in order to stave it off. Good on you for talking with the manager! - Catherine Pellegrino

You should see the plans that most small businesses can afford that were presented to me. You'd better not need anything besides a generic drug. - Eric

Oh, I've seen 'em: my last job was a company of two people =/ - FFing Enigma

I'm self employed. I have a reasonable health plan for a family of four. We have a large deductible ($2500/yr), but my monthly premium is $340. It covers a lot, and supports a Health Savings Account, so I can pay my $2500 deductible pre-tax. - Dennis O'Neil

It won't be too long before the big company insurance won't be much better than the small business offerings. Every year the company strips out more and more plan options to save money. There's only so much you can strip out before the insurance isn't worth squat. - DB - Just DB

Dennis, that's fantastic. The lowest premium I could find for just myself was over $200 a month with a $5000 deductible and no HSA consideration. The sad fact is that the great deals available in some states or cost of living areas aren't available in others. - FFing Enigma

Yeah that is great Dennis. It should be like that everywhere. Unfortunately business as usual won't allow that to happen. - DB - Just DB

Tina - That's a bummer on the no HSA support, but the $200 is comparable to what I think they told me individual coverage was back when I got the policy. I was offered a $5k deductible plan also, but I don't remember the difference in premium. I look at our health insurance as serious or catastrophic coverage only. I expect to pay for all normal doctor visits and prescriptions out of pocket. - Dennis O'Neil

Eric - I also looked a "group" policy, which is what I assume you were looking at for your business. A similar policy to my $340/mo plan was $1100 month as a group policy. When I asked why, I was told that with a group policy, no one could be turned down for a pre-existing condition. - Dennis O'Neil

Dennis, that is not true, at least where I am. There is a continuation of coverage where a new insurance company cannot deny you if you were covered under old insurance. The problem is that lapses after 63 days. It was a race against time to get coverage since all coverage begins at the first of the next month. Once you get past that period, pre-existing conditions can be denied. - Eric

Yeah, that's different here in Maryland. If I had a group insurance policy, and I hired a new full-time employee, they would be guaranteed coverage under the company group plan. I don't have any full-time employees right now, so I didn't need to opt for the group option. - Dennis O'Neil

Maryland is surely a different beast than most states. - Eric

Tina, a 5K deductible is by definition a HDHP which should qualify you for participation in a HSA. The HSA does not have to be administered by the insurance company and in fact, it probably won't be. - Mattb4rd

Unfortunately Matt I don't use healthcare enough to warrant an HSA (the ones I've been offered in the past were 'use it or loose it' at the end of every year). - FFing Enigma

Tina - I think you're thinking of a Flexible Spending Account (FSA). I used to have one of those when I was an employee, and yes, it was a use-it-or-lose-it deal. Health Savings Accounts (HSA) are individual accounts that have no such limitation. There's a maximum annual contribution with an HSA, but there's no fear of loss like the FSA, and its all non-taxed. - Dennis O'Neil

HSA's are basically are savings accounts (for non-taxed money) where withdrawals are only allowed for medical related expenses. - Dennis O'Neil

The problem with HSA's, you have to have enough time to put money in to cover the holes in your coverage. I don't have money, nor time. - Eric

No, this was specifically an HSA of pre-tax money administered by the corporation I worked at. The funds all had to be used for medical expenses within the household as claimed on one's taxes, and the money had to be used by the end of the year. Like I said, as I typically spend about $500 a year on actual healthcare (read: not my insurance premiums), it wasn't a particularly useful option for me. - FFing Enigma

Tina - Well hopefully your job interview goes (went?) well and you'll not need to worry about it. Otherwise, there are many independent providers of HSA's without the loss issue. My HSA is administered by my bank, Wachovia. - Dennis O'Neil

Well, I'm lucky to an extent that I'm currently covered on my husband's plan, which has a slightly lower deductible. If the benefits are my (hopefully!) new job are worth a hoot I'll probably get coverage there, as this insurance leaves a bit to be desired (though the vision coverage is ok). - FFing Enigma

That sounds screwy, Tina. My HSA is mine and mine only. All unused funds stay in the account until I use the account to pay for medical expenses like co-pays and medications. If the balance were to ever get to the 2K level I could convert it to an investment account and increase the rate of return on the cash. I love the arrangement as it places more of the responsibility of the cost of my health care squarely where it belongs, in my lap. - Mattb4rd

By the way, congratulations on the success of your business, Eric. - Mattb4rd

I've been paying anywhere from $700-1100 per month in NYS since 2003. Family of three. HMO, the HSA wasn't up to snuff yet, but maybe soon. And of course, my fave doctors are out of network. - Bryan R. Adams

Spencer...I have read through the proposed bill. There are no death panels, it specifically says no coverage for those here illegally, and specifically says it won't touch other programs like Medicare for funding. Those were the main lies he "stomped", right?

By name alone, I was already convinced this was for me. There is nothing I dislike more than a dried out, hockey-puck-of-a brownie. What's the point. But these Peanut Butter-Nutella Brownies are nothing less than perfection. Can you see the fudge-like middle? Yeah, that's for me. - Mahdi Ebrahimi from Bookmarklet

Sachertorte!!! NOM!!!!! - Katy S

i want one, or two, of those! - Trish Haley

Katy, I'm waiting for your recipe, cause I know you have one... - Derrick

I've never made it - actually, I don't think I've had any since I lived in Vienna over a decade ago. I do have a recipe in a book I just got - Kaffeehaus: Exquisite Desserts from the Classic Cafes of Vienna, Budapest, and Prague by Rick Rodgers. I'm pretty sure I have some in a german-language cookbook, too. The torte and its recipes (those considered authentic and copies) has a bit of a history. I'm not sure which ones I have, to tell the truth. - Katy S

My mom makes a yummy Sachertorte, I haven't been gotten to taste a slice of the original stuff yet. - Phil Glockner
