Why do men pay more for car insurance than women?

thanks for the answers everyone. But the question is more relevant to stereotypes based on statistics: is this fair? Obviously it this were to happen based on one’s ethnicity, then everyone would complain about it, and why shouldn’t they? It’s racism: and this seems sexism to me. Input?

Is there a way to get really cheap car insurance like $50 or so?

I’ve had some really minor things (all but one not my fault) on my record recently and my car insurance is over $200.00! I tried to get some quotes from other places, but they were all about the same. What do poor people do in this situation? I can’t afford this and it is the most basic coverage I can get from Gieco.

Did anyone have a baby on TennCare or other state insurance?

What kind of insurance did you have? Did you feel like you were mistreated because of your insurance? Would you want to have another baby with that insurance? Do you feel like your care would have been better if you had more expensive insurance? My couisn just had a baby on TennCare and said she thought she was mistreated and judged. However, I know how her family is and they probably just annoyed the hospital staff to death! My mom had my little brother on TennCare and she says it was a great experience. I’m having a baby at the same hospital that my little brother was born in, Vanderbilt, and I have TennCare. I was just wondering, should I be worried? My husband has insurance, but it’s really expensive, so I’ve been using my TennCare. I don’t feel like I’ve been mistreated so far…I could really use any personal experiences you may have had! Thanks!

Car Insurance Renewal?

I currently have a 8 years no claims bonus and I am due to renew my car insurance at the end of this month. The quote is £520. However as the current value of my car is about £900-1000 and I only do about 3000 miles a year, I dont think its worth insuring this car for this year and plan to get rid of it. I plan to get a newer car next year or the year after. If I dont renew my car insurance this year and say there was a gap of 1 year or 2 between renewals, would I lose all of the benefit of my 8 years no claims? Would i have to start from 0 years no claims again? Any body help? Cheers!

This country needs affordable health care…so why are hospitals so lavish and extravagantly fancy?

Here is a link to the hospital if you think I am exaggerating….. http://www.henryfordwestbloomfield.com/b… I don’t have insurance, and neither does my husband because we can’t afford $600 month premiums for insurance that doesn’t even KICK IN until you pay $5000 out of pocket! But it is really hard to sit and listen to everyone complaining about the EXPLODING cost of hospitals these days with all the hospitals in my area that are constantly renovating and competing to be the most lavish” or fancy or architecturally beautiful when what people really need are just some common sense medical care from good doctors who will take a few minutes to listen to them.

Insurance Adjuster estimate less than what it will cost to fix my car?

I was in a car accident that was not my fault. I was hit from behind on the highway and the person who hit me admitted fault 100%. I have submitted a claim through this persons insurance company. My car was less than 3 months old. I’ve come to terms with diminished value and that it will never be the way it was pre-accident, I’ll never be able to sell it a fair value as it was in an accident, etc. and I’ll just have tp deal with it. (As much as it angers and saddens me!!!) The insurance adjuster came out today and gave me an estimate which I’m pretty sure is unfair. I’m still need to take it to a few body shops to get theirs estimates of what it will cost to fix it, but I want to be proactive….. What happens when the three body shops I plan on going to estimate that its going to cost more than what the insurance adjuster wrote me the check for? What are the next steps to appealling this? Is this usually what happens? Write for an unfair amount?

When is the insurance going to bill me?

During the last week of may a car abrubtly stopped causing me to rear end it. At the time I had no insurance as it expired the previous week. The bumper had VERY little damage on the other persons car. A week or two later, we received a letter from their insurance stating that we are to pay for the damages. However, we have yet to hear anything else. Yes, I know driving without insurance is stupid but at least I was on my way to work and not going to the mall like other kids my age. And I can assure you guys it was her fault as she abrubtly changed lanes at a green light to make a last second turn but all the witnesses left. So how long, if at all, will it take for the bill to come? Oh, I don’t want to hear the crap from some people saying how I shouldn’t have been driving. Again, I already said it was dumb so just answer the question.

John Lowrie Morrison (Jolomo) 2011

Solo Exhibition

27 November 2010 – 16 January 2011

Iona House Gallery is delighted be hosting a Solo Exhibition of 50 paintings by John Lowrie Morrison DA (Jolomo)

Internationally recognised as one of Scotland’s main contemporary expressionists, John’s vibrant palette depicting crofts, mountains, the rugged Scottish coastline and the Western Isles has made him one of Scotland’s most popular and best-loved artists.

Although Glasgow-born, John’s ‘roots’ originate from Harris. Consequently, the Western Isles have always been of great significance to him, both on a personal level and as inspiration for a great deal of his work.

In 2006 John set up The Jolomo Foundation and launched the ‘Jolomo Awards’ to support, encourage and promote the painting of the Scottish landscape by young and emerging artists. These are the largest privately-funded art awards of their kind in the UK -

In November 2008 John was presented with an Honorary Doctorate from the University of the West of Scotland and in November 2009 he received an Honorary Doctorate of Arts from Abertay Dundee University for, “a significant contribution to Scottish culture”.

Seems I’m starting all my new posts with “it’s been a while” lately.

We’ve had a pretty busy year so far. I’m still in school. Hubs is home from Kandahar. The spring battlefields (Somme, Normandy, Ypres, etc.) tour is a distant memory. Our annual Can’t Stop the Serenity event is done for 2011 and planning is beginning for 2012. We’re just starting in with volunteering for Pure Spec and are tearing up the basement to deal with the flooding we’ve been experiencing for weeks due to the horrific weather.

So, what’s new with you?

OIC urges more global aid to hunger-stricken Somalia

RIYADH: Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Secretary-General Yousef Al-Othaimeen has also called on the international community to increase assistance to hunger-stricken Somalia.
He urged UN agencies and civil society organizations to help address the dire humanitarian situation in Somalia, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported on Friday.
Al-Othaimeen on Thursday urged the international community to invest in agriculture, livestock and fisheries in Somalia, help advance its energy infrastructure, forgo the country’s debts and assist in restructuring its security services.
He warned that Somalia is on the brink of a catastrophic famine brought about by acute drought conditions compounded by years of poor rainfall, which has affected the entire Horn of Africa, where more than 17 million people are facing terrible hunger.
“In Somalia alone, more than 6 million — about half of the population — are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance,” the OIC said on its website, quoting Al-Othaimeen.
He said stability in Somalia could suffer a serious setback amid a grave humanitarian situation marked by rising internal displacement, economic regression and growing extremism.
He added that the dire humanitarian situation may seriously affect all of Africa given the strategic geographic location of Somalia.
Hundreds of thousands of vulnerable Somalis are on the move in search of food, water and treatment for malnutrition and disease.
Close to 1 million acutely malnourished children need treatment, including 200,000 severely malnourished children who are more vulnerable than any other group and need immediate life-saving support.

Longtime Clinton Friend Told ‘Top Level’ Dem Operatives Not To Fundraise With Weinstein

A Hollywood producer and friend of the Clinton family says she cautioned three “top level” Democratic operatives against allowing Harvey Weinstein to headline political fundraising events due to allegations of sexual impropriety.

Linda Bloodworth-Thomason, a Hollywood producer and screenwriter, said her warnings regarding Weinstein’s behavior were ignored, in a tell all article about her experience as a woman in the entertainment industry.

“I confess to having had no problem warning at least three top-level Democratic operatives against allowing Harvey Weinstein to host political fundraisers,” Bloodworth-Thomason wrote. “A warning that evidently (and to the glee of Fox News) fell on deaf ears.”

Weinstein, a wealthy film mogul who has been accused of rampant sexual assault by numerous women in the entertainment industry, established himself as a high profile Democratic donor in the 1990s, contributing millions to various candidates including former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Barack Obama.

In the article, Bloodworth-Thomason describes former President Bill Clinton as one of her “best friends” and claims to have helped write the apology speech he gave after his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky became public.

A fellow Arkansas resident, Linda and her husband Harry Thomason became friends with the Clinton’s during the 1980s when Bill served as governor of the state. Linda and her husband, a Hollywood producer himself, used their show business connections to further the Clintons’ respective political careers.

The couple stood by former President Bill Clinton after reports of his sexual misbehavior became public, even producing a laudatory documentary entitled “The Man From Hope” designed to rehabilitate his “every man” image.

Scores of high profile Democrats who accepted Weinstein’s contributions distanced themselves from him in the wake of numerous reports that he used his professional stature to prey on young, aspiring actresses. The lawmakers repeated a similar refrain, insisting they knew nothing of Weinstein’s boorish behavior and quickly vowing to contribute his political donations to various charities that seek to empower women.

Despite these disavowals, their is significant evidence to suggest that Weinstein developed a reputation among Hollywood elite as an opportunistic cad. In 2013, comedic writer Seth Macfarlane joked about Weinstein’s exploits onstage at the Oscars. After reading the names of five nominees, Macfarlane jokingly remarked, “Congratulations, you five ladies no longer have to pretend to be attracted to Harvey Weinstein,” and received a raucous response of cheers and laughter from the assembled crowd.

In a similar example of Weinstein’s reputation for libidinous behavior, a 2012 episode of NBC’s “Thirty Rock” features one female character who jokes that she has “turned down intercourse with Harvey Weinstein on no less than three occasions.”

Bloodworth-Thomason’s revelation suggests that Weinstein’s infamy as a sexual predator made its way from Hollywood circles into the political elite, where it was promptly ignored.

Sand Castles R Us!

Hi Woofers!

Here we are again, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret!

It's been another super day here in North Kent. We had to stay clear of any poo we might come across but after yesterdays fun and games we decided that getting washed all over just wasn't for us!

Breakfast was fun, Little Miss Wendy was charging about all over the place. She had got the pickle in her and was chasing not only Freddy but she chased Old Two Legs as well!

The only time she stopped was when she found out that there was some Ferretone leaking out of the bottle and of course, she just had to stop and clear it up!

I like clearing up Ferretone!
 I think she was being a bit crafty 'cos she kept running past the bottle and giving it a push so a few more drips ran out and of course, she just had to stop and clear it up again!

Oh dear! Another couple of drips have come out!
That Miss Wendy is getting a right sneaky ferret!

Down on the beach we found some sandcastles that had been made by some young Two Legs. Miss May had a great time running around the castle and making a moat around the outside!

Ooops! I got dizzy and fell over!
April was digging a hole and having a great time getting sand all over her head as she stuck her nose into the sand and played 'Bulldozers'!

April playing Bulldozers!
OTL had to go out to see one of his customers so Holly and I stayed on the bed enjoying a well deserved snooze!

The Missus took us out for a quick 'Wee Walk' in the fields behind the house and we spotted loads of butterflies amongst the rape plants that had come into bloom.

When OTL got back we went out again and the ferrets came along as well.

We showed Freddy where the sandcastles were and I rolled over one and flattened all the shells and a stick that was sticking out the top!

Look! I'm a castle crusher!
Freddy said I was a 'Hooligan' and he would tell OTL and get me in trouble! Poor Freddy, he does like his 'Ancient Monuments'!

Come on! I've left this one for you!
Down on the beach we had Two Legs stop to look at the ferrets and there were all the normal questions, like, do they bite?

Yes, but only when they are eating!

Do they smell?

No, not unless you upset them!

Can I stroke them?

Yes, but take your gloves off first!

There was one mother who had seen us all before but today she had brought her daughter down today just to show her what a ferret is!

Back home to a snooze before mugging OTL for some nibbles!

Did you read how Archie Babe banged his head again? Wot a Plonker! After us telling him not to waggle his head about, what does he do? Waggle his head!

Holly says that he deserves to be kept out of the bedroom if only for self preservation!

See you all tomorrow!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret.

  1. Afternoon all down by the sea. Wot a lovely day it's been. Looks like you've all had a lot of fun today even if you didn't do any rolling in sniffs. Wow, that's a sneaky trick Miss Wendy has come up with, well done. Is that Miss May on the hard stuff? It's not the first fall she's had this week. Good to see Miss April enjoying a dig in the sand. Daisy, are you sure there wasn't a sniff on that sand castle you rolled on? I'm pleased you left a castle for Freddie to play with. Loved all the pictures and hope that OTL had dry trousers on. How is Mrs TM getting on with her bike? Have you spotted her riding round the living room on it? I was shut out of the bedroom this morning and my mum put down my own snuggly bed for me to wait in while she had a bath, it's not as much fun trying to dig underneath it cos it flops on me, still at least it didn't make my cut any bigger. I'm off to the vets tomorrow to get another blood test done, if they can find any left after last weeks test and me cutting my head twice this week. Had a lovely 20 minute power nap with my mum all snuggled up so now I'm off to see wot I can chase out of the garden and where I can do a bit of digging. Have a lovely evening all and happy muggings at tea time. Love, licks, wags and sniffs from little Arch and Mr Nipper xxxxxxxx

  2. What a glorious sunny day you've had. I've started building my Ark again as it's rained most of the day. I wish we were back running on your beach. Those sandcastles are very impressive especially the one with the moat that Miss May built. She was very clever finding out how to help herself to the Ferrotone. You look like you're having lots of fun castle crushing. Oops! Have to go now for my cuddle with mum. Love, wags, woofs and licks from Izzy xxxxxxxx oh, and Little Archie, I'm glad you didn't bang your head today. I hope you have some blood left after your visit to the vet xx

Our True Identity

Yesterday didn't turn out like I thought it would. One of the Ggirls had the runs. So swimming was out. I did have a good time. I kind of felt exhausted. They are only 3 and I forget there is 2 of them. Only one of me. I ate too much. Those little girls are relentless. They want to be eating 24/7. So I gave in. It sucked being cooped up in this house. UGH! Then had the kids bring dinner to me when they came to get the girls. Nothing terrible. Still. Too salty. I am feeling the extra weight now. I didn't walk yesterday morning either. In fact I didn't get dressed all day. I was never a stay at home mom. Much a job for me. Hardest job EVER. That's why God decided a woman should do it. I can see why you would never make it out of your jammies. Anyway, I was exhausted and went to bed early. Very early. Woke up in the middle of the night. Ate. This is not good news. Nope, not at all.

Why am I doing this now. I don't want to backslide. There really is no standing still your either going on way or the other. I have been able to mange the little back and forths with my weight' Till this past month. I am going to be 50 in a few weeks. FIFTY! I truly never thought I would see 50. Both my parent died before the age of 60 and the way I abused my body, well hell, I didn't think I was going to need a retirement plan.

For the past few months I have been bragging how I have never felt better. That is true. I have never felt stronger or more capable of what I can do. In all areas of my life. I think age, sober living, and a sense of who I am is has been the key for me. I have come to realize that it's really all about my intentions. I was reading Roxie's "reverence" post. When her intentions changed her world changed. Even about something as simple (or hard, in my as food prep. When I came to know for myself who I was I began to realize that I CAN DO HARD THINGS. So what has changed. My perspective. I have let myself forget who I really am. That I am worth all the hard work. Here's another short video that inspired me this morning. We all need to remember Our True Identity. It still amazes me that my prayers are answered in such a personal and profound way. I really needed to be remind of this.

Have a great Sunday. Let's treat ourselves with loving kindness. For me that means getting off the computer and getting out the door for a walk.

Keep the mood and the food real.

  1. Why are you doing this now? I don't know. I ask myself the same question. Perhaps rather than look at this as some sort of setback, we could choose to view this recognition as merely an opportunity to change our actions just a bit. I think you've got it right with the lovingkindness bit - we haven't been bad, we've been human.

    I hope you enjoyed your walk.

  2. Hey, yeah!
    It's birthday time around here -
    Summer is nearly, almost, somewhat, kind of,
    nearing the end.
    Autumn is just around the proverbial corner.

    Time to get this season's ducks in a row!

  3. The journey just isn't linear. It's up, down, forward, back, in and out. I'm not doing what I want to do either, and with my birthday coming up later this week (got a few years on you, Dana!) I'm not thinking I'm quite ready to reel it back in. But I'm striving for some moderation from my old "unreeled" status of no holds barred eating because I'm not following my plan to the letter. Black and white thinking avails me nothing, and I think I've just come upon a topic for today's post.

    50 is great, Dana. By the time the day actually arrived, I'd pondered it and obsessed about it so long (since the 49th b'day!) that it was a non-event, at least in my emotional landscape. It came to me that I really didn't have to take crap off anyone anymore. Funny how that thought made me feel good then, but I still take plenty of crap 7 years later!

  4. I find my mojo is like the waves, up and down! Just never give up.

  5. I agree with your definition of kindness towards ourselves.

    I think we all have our moments, in both directions, like a pendulum.

    Thanks for checking in on me!

  6. Isn't it interesting how we all seem to re-evaluate our lives as birthdays approach? Loving your self-awareness, my friend!

  7. and the BEING WORTH THE HARD WORK is one which I needed to hear this morning too!
    a reminder.
    for me, today, not in the fitness world but its all the same isnt it?

    we need to remember we are worth it!!

  8. You are've recognized that there was a shift in your thoughts and feelings. AND you have admitted that you lost control yesterday due to the strain of life.

    Soooooooooooo......get back in the saddle!

    I think you hit it on the head when you said that you have to recognize and learn who you are...your sense of self to really make progress on this journey! Once you you said, we realize that we really are worth the effort.

    You rock!

  9. It's all about the ups and downs, as long as we recognize it and reel it in when we need to, it's all good!

Tell me what you think!

An Upcoming Party and a Giveaway

August 12, 2009

This coming Saturday, my husband and I are hosting a summer party.  We have a good party house and this has been a summer to celebrate in Seattle with all of the gorgeous sunshine.  What more reason do you need to have friends over?  Clearly though, we need to pick up the yard a bit.

I’m going to do a giveaway.  It’s a first here at Dana Treat but it’s time.  You see, the other day I bought a cookbook.  No big deal, right?  It’s just that I have something of a cookbook situation on my hands here.  There are lots of them.  They are stacked everywhere.  I am usually very careful about the ones that I buy because I already have so many.  I look at them carefully, I make sure there are not lots of repeats of recipes I already have, and if a cookbook is worthy, I buy it.

This one, I bought on a whim without looking at it.  I had heard about The Big Sur Bakery Cookbook from multiple sources.  That it’s a story as well as a cookbook.  The story of two great chefs who open a restaurant in the majestic area that is Big Sur and all the wonderful people who help them along the way.  Everything I read about the book was wonderful, including lots of compliments about the recipes.  What’s not to like?  So I bought it without so much as a glance at the table of contents.

It is a truly cool cookbook.  The story is great, the photos are gorgeous, I love the profiles of the farmers, beekeepers, and employees of the restaurant.  For every one of us who has thought of opening a great restaurant in a place that you love – this is a book to have.  Here is the problem for me.  There is LOTS of meat.  Now, not every cookbook in my collection is vegetarian.  I have The Joy of Cooking, The New Basics, The Silver Palate, four of Ina Garten’s books, and many other cookbooks which feature plenty of meat recipes.  I use those books often.  This one just, well, it kind of turned me off.  There are some lovely salads and exquisite sounding desserts, but after I finished paging through it, I realized I didn’t want it anymore.

Here is where you come in.  I’d love to send this book to one of you who could use and appreciate it.  I would much rather do that than have it sit on my shelf, unopened, unloved.  I have a few books like this in my collection – books bought on a whim who now sit sadly neglected.  I plan to give a few more away before the year’s end.  And to be more careful with my book purchasing.

All you have to do is leave me a comment and tell me what your favorite cookbook is.  I will most likely replace this one’s spot on my shelf (or on the table or the floor) with one that you suggest.  US and Canada only please (with apologies to Hilary and Jacqui – two of my faithful UK readers).  Deadline to enter is party time – Saturday, August 15th at 6:30pm (PDT).

(Proof that my life really is surrounded by trucks.)

  1. We are hosting a party this weekend too. What is on your menu? Ours is a dessert party! Should be fun. I am a veggie too, I haven’t seen this cookibook, but great giveaway! I love cookbooks, I don’t know my favorite. I do really enjoy-The Complete Italian Vegetarian Cookbook, Baking From My Home to Yours, Tartine, Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day, and Mark Bittma’s Vegetarian cookbook. Oh the Moosewood ones too. Ok I will stop:)

    Comment by Maria — August 13, 2009 @ 12:35 am

  2. i eat meat, but not dairy/eggs/soy, and with tastes that tend to lean to the vegetarian side of things, i just happen to love food that’s vegan. i like molly kazen’s “vegetable dishes i can’t live without” and mark bittman’s “how to cook everything vegetarian”. two books on my current wish list: “super natural cooking,” “the art of simple cooking” and “the gluten-free vegan.”

    Comment by Ellen — August 13, 2009 @ 12:47 am

  3. I must admit that most of my recipes these days come from your website! I also use Epicurious quite often, and I browse a couple of other food blogs and many magazines, Sunset and Everyday Food included. That being said, we’ve been cutting back on meat substantially, and I have been using one cookbook over and over again recently…Mollie Katzen’s Vegetable Heaven. I recently made her sweet potato and chick pea koftas. They were a big hit with the boys!

    Comment by Katie — August 13, 2009 @ 12:57 am

  4. I just cracked up reading your story. I have a serious cookbook addiction. I have more than 400 on various shelves throughout our house (including the 3 I wrote).

    I picked up that very cookbook in Powell’s when we were in Portland, and just drooled over it. But I put it back down because a) it’s a heavy book and I didn’t want to lug it home. and b) how would I explain to my husband that yes, indeed, I do need another book?

    I won’t throw my hat into the ring because it really should go to someone who has more shelf space than I do.

    Good luck with your party. Leave the trucks. Work them into the theme. They’re adorable.

    Comment by Chef Gwen — August 13, 2009 @ 1:10 am

  5. Cookbooks what can I say, I love em. Have way too many and like many others, I have to be picky to make up for the lack of space. Favorites? I have my old stand bys Fannie Farmer, and also go to the Fosters Market Cookbook quite often, but I think my favorite is an Old Filipino Cookbook with many handwritten recipes that my mother gave me ages ago. I can part with all but that one in my book.

    I hope you have a great time with friends at your party this weekend.

    Comment by Vivian Boroff — August 13, 2009 @ 2:12 am

  6. Hands down, my favorite cookbook, the one I go to most often is America’s Test Kitchen
    Family Cookbook
    Revised Edition.

    Comment by Jen — August 13, 2009 @ 5:11 am

  7. My favorite is Simply Classic. Made fifteen years ago by the Junior League. SO many great recipes and dinner party menus too.

    Comment by Julie — August 13, 2009 @ 5:26 am

  8. My favorite cookbook right now is Best of Baking, which was published in 1978. It has more than 100 recipes for some really old-school desserts, most all of them European. I could flip through it every day and still not get tired. I made simple coconut macaroons from the cookbook, but there are a ton of others I’d love to try. The names of the treats alone make me drool: Aniseed Chräbeli, Viennese Vanila Crescents, Russian Mazurka, Sachertorte, Malakoff Cake, Dobostorte.

    Comment by HappyTummy — August 13, 2009 @ 10:47 am

  9. Haha that’s okay, Dana. I’m used to it! But if a small change in protocol is allowed, you could send it to my parents’ house in Ontario since I’ll be there next month to pick it up :)

    So if I’m allowed to enter on that count, my favourite sweet cookbook is In the Sweet Kitchen by Regan Daley and my favourite savoury is, ohhhh, maybe a toss up between How to Cook Everything by Mark B. and The Complete Italian Cookery Course by Ursula Ferrigno.

    Comment by Hilary — August 13, 2009 @ 12:32 pm

  10. I just finished reading Heidi Swansons cookbook, Super Natural Cooking… which I am sure you already have :) It is all vegetarian, and I love that they are things that aren’t on her blog. I think she is great, and I love how casual her voice it. You do have a great party yard!

    Comment by Sprouted Kitchen — August 13, 2009 @ 3:57 pm

  11. Hi Dana,

    I’m in the same boat with the cookbooks, over 200 and still counting. It started way back when I was a manager for Williams-Sonoma and just got worse after Culinary School. This isn’t a completely vegetarian cookbook but one I think you’ll enjoy just the same. “Almost Meatless”, I’ve been trying to gradually eliminate some of the meat in my family’s diet and this book has been great. I can’t remember the last time I cooked my way through a book.

    P.S. Don’t include me in the contest I already have Big Sur, just wanted to recommend a new one to you :)

    Comment by Heather — August 13, 2009 @ 7:13 pm

  12. Well based on what you said about the ton of meat recipes in there I won’t enter your contest! But I would recommend Rebar (can’t remember if you have that one).

    Comment by Ashley — August 13, 2009 @ 8:24 pm

  13. Cook’s Illustrated’s The Best Recipe is my go to cookbook 80% of the time….and of course, Quick Vegetarian Pleasures. (You get credit for introducing me to that one 15 years ago). I have yet to find a “bad” recipe in either of those books.

    Comment by Kelly — August 13, 2009 @ 9:40 pm

  14. This is like picking a favorite child, if I had children! I’m going to suggest Nancy Silverton’s Breads from the La Brea Bakery because I continue to learn so much while using it. Specific, yes, but it’s been teaching me an area of cooking that was previously a mystery to me.

    Comment by lisaiscooking — August 13, 2009 @ 10:10 pm

  15. I forfeit my entry due to the typical friends and family contest exclusion, but I’m enjoying reading about everyone’s favorites! My most-used and beloved cookbook in my limited collection is still How to Cook Everything by Mark Bittman, and I keep meaning to try his 2007 How to Cook Everything Vegetarian. Do you own that one, Dana? I would like to thumb through it some day, if so!

    Comment by Deb — August 13, 2009 @ 10:11 pm

  16. My favorite cookbook has to be the Moosewood Restaurant Cooks at Home. The recipes are easy to make and always taste delicious.

    Comment by RF — August 13, 2009 @ 10:45 pm

  17. COOKING BEYONE MEASURE by Jean Johnson is my current favorite “cookbook.” Jean is a Portland, Oregon resident, writer, historian, anthropologist with a strong sense of food and “what’s what” in the food world. In this book her premise is eating well without formal recipes, designed for “people too busy to do the equivalent of a small chemistry experiment when all they want is good food.!” Jean invites people to “lighten up” and have more fun in the kitchen. Her narrative is interesting and photos great. This is the first book in a trilogy, a creative, insightful approach to food preparation. Vegetarian, includes dairy and fish. Excellent book!

    Comment by Pam Glaze — August 14, 2009 @ 4:47 am

  18. I buy way too many cookbooks too.
    Right now I am concentrating on my new favorites…..Figs on a Platter and 2 Dudes One Pan. I promised myself to cook thru the books that I already own and like (Mario Batali’s book and some of my French cookbooks).

    But my all time favorite cookbook would have to be Suzanne Goin’s Sunday Suppers at Lucques.
    All of her recipes turn out superb, and though may be difficult sometimes and very time consuming, they are worth the effort in the end.

    Comment by Stacey Snacks — August 14, 2009 @ 3:01 pm

  19. Chez Panisse Vegetables because, well, what wonderful thigns can I say about Alice Waters that haven’t already been written? Plus I just plain love vegetables.

    Comment by Kat — August 14, 2009 @ 4:13 pm

  20. Lately, Urban Italian by Andrew Carmellini. So many delicious, easy appetizer ideas, and I haven’t even gotten to the pastas yet!

    Comment by maggie — August 14, 2009 @ 4:30 pm

  21. In the second grade my (now grown) son, said that he would like to be a vegetarian. His dad and I enthusiastically respected his decision. A vegetarian friend gave me Verdura by Viana La Place. It was a godsend and my son is still a vegetarian. She has other wonderful books as well. I am currently loving Simon Hopkinson’s Roast Chicken and Other Stories and Second Helpings of Roast Chicken. I know, I know–chicken– but there are other good recipes as well and he is soon to come out with a book called The Vegetarian Option. Do try the Hide bread recipe before you send Big Sur off!

    Comment by Lynn D. — August 14, 2009 @ 6:44 pm

  22. Hi Dana,

    In all honesty, my favorite “cookbook” is all of the recipe blogs (just like yours!). If I had to pick an actual book, I really do like the annual Taste of Home or Southern Living cookbooks. I also love the Dallas Cowboy, Junior League and church/community cookbooks. Nothing like a good story with a recipe.

    Thanks for the opportunity!

    Comment by Sue A. — August 14, 2009 @ 7:29 pm

  23. Must be a party weekend! We are having an al fresco dinner up river, on our property where we are growing all those crazy zucchini. Maybe we should just call it zucchini heaven! I’m thinking about starting the blueberry chutney from “Luna Cafe,” with rosemary crackers and goat brie. More to be continued…..
    I don’t have a favorite cookbook, there are too many to love. Depends on my mood. Right now, my fav is “Hali’imaile General Store.” Cookbook. It is from one of my favorite restaurants in Maui, and it has such amazing recipes in it that you don’t generally make at home. The drawback is all the recipes are so high in calories it is insane! So probably a good thing you don’t cook from it often!
    The cookbooks I used the most are all of Mollie Katzen’s. (Moosewood, etc.) She is probably my all time favorite cooks. I bet you love her too, since you aren’t a big meat eater.
    That’s my take on cookbooks for now. Might change tomorrow. Have a delicious day!

    Comment by Dana Zia — August 14, 2009 @ 9:57 pm

  24. Right now, “Eating Cuban” – it has a lot of the classic recipes, but also some great updates. Even though there are plenty of meat dishes, there are plenty of vegetarian recipes as well! And Cuban food is perfect for the summer weather… I’m trying to make my way through all of the good stuff before it gets cold again! But if I had to pick a classic, it would probably have to be the original Moosewood, which someone gave to me earlier this year. Everything that comes out of that book (so far!) is delicious.

    Comment by Megalie — August 14, 2009 @ 10:05 pm

  25. Ohhh. This is hard. I have a lot of magazine subscriptions and a lot of printouts from Epicurious and blogs like yours-those have become the “cookbooks” that I have been cooking from lately. I like to pick up cookbooks when I am on vacation to remind me of all the good food we had but I hardly ever make things from those. Probably the best ones are the Ina Garten books and the Junior League of Seattle Simply Classic-everything I’ve made from those is alway good. I also have this really old book called “Kindergarten Cooks”. It’s all handwritten and has simple drawings and ingredients. The recipes are for things like no-bake cookies, peanut butter playdough and frybread-I remember making all of these with my mom and sister when I was little and now I make them with my girls.

    Comment by Michael-Ann — August 15, 2009 @ 6:18 pm

  26. I love to bake bread and until last week, my favorite cookbook was LaBrea Bakery which is all about sourdough. However, I just go the Artisan Bread in 5 minutes and it is fabulous!!

    By the way………I do have place for a new cookbook!:))

    Comment by Sonia Cargile — August 15, 2009 @ 7:46 pm

  27. Favorite cookbook so far: How to Cook Everything by Bittman. I like it because it’s a great resource except that it doesn’t have colored pictures.

    Comment by Panda Foodie — August 15, 2009 @ 8:54 pm

  28. Well I am definitely a meat eater so would love to take it off your hands. Big Sur is one of the most breathtakingly gorgeous places in the country…how can a cookbook from there not be good?

    My recommendations…

    1. Everyday Mexican (Rick Bayless). Simple, delicious, lots of new flavor combinations. He has a fair amount of meat, but quite a bit of veggie too (just made swiss chard and cotija tacos the other day).

    2. Culinary Artistry (Dornenburg and Page). This is not a recipe kind of cookbook, instead it’s all about flavor pairings. It is a fabulous jumping off point to innovating in the kitchen.

    3. Ratio (Michael Ruhlman). So fun, can’t even describe it. With this book you can learn how to whip up pancakes or popovers anytime you want without a recipe.

    Happy cooking! Enjoy the sunshine.

    Comment by hungrygrrl — August 15, 2009 @ 11:03 pm

  29. Dana –

    I, too, have a cookbook issue, and I am wondering if all of this feedback is going to help or will it make the problem worse? I try to restrain myself by borrowing from the library instead of buying. My current favorite cookbook is Peter Berley’s “Fresh Food Fast”. He used to run Angelica’s in NYC, and his cookbook is full of easy beautiful vegetarian meals which are organized seasonally. As on your website, the photos in his book are good enough to eat. Enjoy!

    Comment by Lisa — August 16, 2009 @ 5:18 pm

  30. [...] When all’s said and done, The Big Sur Bakery Cookbook just isn’t earning its spot on my bookshelf.  In an effort to cull my cookbook collection before it takes over the flat, I’ll likely give this away to a friend or local charity shop. (Incidentally, Dana, a fellow food-bloggin’ vegetarian, also found this book too meaty and had a giveaway for her copy.) [...]

Dana Treat – Treat Yourself

A Slice of My Life – Week 7

Posted February 18, 2012

This week started out with Valentines.  We bought paper airplane ones and Graham wrote out all the names on the envelopes himself.

Then he got to wear his pj’s to school for the class party.

Trying to get organized.  Lists help.

Yes, Valentine’s Day has passed and yet we still have our Christmas wreath up.  Anyone else?

Spencer is very hard on his shoes and boots.  Fortunately, we usually shop at Nordstrom for those things so we were able to get a new pair of Batman boots for free when the old ones got a hole in the side.

Spencer stays home with me on Wednesdays.  We sometimes get to have a daddy lunch date.

Graham took a (not so) sick day this week.  I think he just needed a little mommy time.

He was staring up at the light, starved for it just like the rest of us.  I love these photos of him – his sweetness comes through.

I had two rice bowls last week.  One was shockingly good and the other was this one.  I had high hopes – look at that yolk! – but the rice was stale and overcooked.  Crunchy.  The tofu was super salty.  And how do you attack a whole bok choy gracefully.  I resorted to tearing it with my hands.  Bummer.

I taught two Winter Seasonal Feast classes this week.  People went crazy for this salad.  Marinated figs, walnuts, amazing vinaigrette, and a fabulous local cheese.  I’ll share the recipe next week.

So incredibly 1997: The NIKE Air Max “Minot”

A silhouette straight from 1997: The NIKE Air Max named “Minot” is back on track with an insane color combination and a ridiculous slimy sole.

We’re going nuts here over these and want to put nothing else on our worked up disco-trekking-feet.

What's next?

Hi all!

First of all, a HUGE thanks to everyone who bought copies of my recent releases: Shadows of Moth: Moth V (released last month) and Requiem's Prayer: Dawn of Dragons III (released a couple weeks ago). I hope you've been enjoying these new books!

I wanted to update you about what's next. Legacy of Moth: Moth VI will be released on December 2nd! The book will conclude the Moth saga, bringing all the characters' storylines to an epic climax. Expect something BIG and EPIC, Pelennor Fields style. We're ending this series with a bang.

I also have some fun stuff planned for you for 2015. We'll have a NEW REQUIEM TRILOGY tentatively titled Requiem for Dragons, which will be set in an era following The Dragon War. In 2015, I'll also be releasing my first science fiction series (titled Alien Hunters), a work inspired by SF franchises like Firefly and Star Wars.

Remember that you can always see a full list of the books and their reading order on my website:

Thank you everyone for reading!

Requiem's Prayer

About four years ago, after moving between several cities, I found myself working and living in Toronto. The apartment I rented was quite small, only about 450 square feet--too small for a desk. I was right in the heart of the big city.

On weekend mornings, I'd wake up early. Most of the city still slept. I'd walk along the streets as convenience stores, pubs, clubs, restaurants, and other businesses were still closed. I'd make my way over to a big, two-story bookshop that rose over a major intersection. On the second floor of the bookshop, a little cafe nestled by floor-to-ceiling windows. Without room at home for a table, I'd come here to write. I was usually the first person in. I'd order a coffee, sit by the windows, stare out at the sun rising over the city, and write. I had no computer, no keyboard. I wrote in longhand into notebooks.

On one of these mornings, I was listening to Mozart's Requiem on my MP3 player, and as an exercise, I began to write whatever I heard in the music. I found myself writing a story about people who can turn into dragons, people hunted to near extinction, people fighting against vicious enemies determined to destroy them. The characters had names taken from the Requiem--Benedictus, Lacrimosa, Agnus Dei, Kyrie Eleison, Gloriae--and their story to me felt as tragic, heartbreaking, yet uplifting as the music.

What I didn't know at the time: This story, just a little exercise, would turn into a series. This story would end up selling hundreds of thousands of copies, letting me become a full time writer.

Today I released the twelfth novel in this series.

Requiem's Prayer is the third volume of the Dawn of Dragons trilogy, a "prequel" trilogy telling of Requiem's earliest days. The events we read about in Song of Dragons, Dragonlore, and The Dragon War all trace their origin to here.

I'm deeply grateful to all those readers who've been exploring Requiem with me. Without you all, this would still be only a few scribbles in a notebook. Thanks to you, this has become a world.

And Requiem's story is not done. Twelve novels have been released, but more are to come. Next year, we'll be seeing three new Requiem books, continuing the story that began four years ago in that little old coffeeshop.

As always, thank you for reading.

Septaluck - Silhouette From The Skylit - JAWEYE

So, this week.. these three band been touring together.. and I'm in hype mood.

Fin-san the vocalist of Septaluck (also UnFinished Monster Machine) ex-STACK44 is my favorite person..

While Silhouette From The Skylit is my favorite band

And JAWEYE .. they stunned me with their show back in 17th July 2013, which makes me want to see them again for sure.

Septaluck - SFTS - JAWEYE

The tour of three end up last night, and everybody looks happy..

l-r Seshirox (SFTS), Kouhei (JAWEYE), Fin (Septaluck)
And look at these three handsome vocalist ^_^ .. which I happen to meet them all back in 17th July 2013.. so yeah, this tour really feels surreal for me actually. Because back at that day, I introduced Seshirox to Fin-san. And I was asking SeshiroX to tell Kouhei-san that I was there and wants to talk to him ^_^.

And I feel grateful because both Septaluck and Silhouette From The Skylit are spazzing me with a lot of their pictures so even tho I'm not there, but I could feel the awesomeness around them ^_^

This all start at Takamatsu, when Silhouette From The Skylit having lunch and accidentally Septaluck also choose the very same restaurant for their lunch.. so, this is their very first encounter as a band ^_^ (and yes.. I almost jumping around when I know this XD)

Septaluck and Silhouette From The Skylit

Before this happen, one or two days before, TetsuroW (SFTS bassist) recognize Chu (Septaluck bassist) as ex-DDT's bassist.. I don't know what exactly happen, but it got something to do with Chu's old band with TetsuroW's old band which called Zoy.

So, the first member who become close between two band are Chu and TetsuroW ^_^ *they looks like brother aren't they? cute ^_^

Chu (Septaluck) and TetsuroW (SFTS)
The interaction between Septaluck and Silhouette From The Skylit continued when SFTS had an in-store live event at Tower Records Fukuoka.. Septaluck and JAWEYE were watching this event.. ain't that sweet ^_^

SFTS in-store live feat. Fin-san's head and this pic been taken by JAWEYE's member
So anyway the tour end up in Hiroshima last night, somehow all the members from three bands enjoy taking pictures.. which is makes me feel very happy and makes me hard to move on from all this hype lol... I mean there's picture of all three bands, then the three vocalist together.. there's also three drummer picture, and double Kosuke picture .. it just awesome!!

Three drummer : Uchi (Septaluck), K.O.U. (SFTS), Chan-Atsu (Jaweye)

Double Kosuke : Big Kosuke (SFTS), Small Kosuke (JAWEYE)
*Reading the story about this double Kosuke makes me laugh, since for the last 3 days it's like a screw up day where whenever people called 'Kosuke' then both of them will respond LOL

This epic tour for me been closed with the story about Fin-san was going back to Tokyo.. along with Silhouette From The Skylit boys.. which is makes me rolls on the floor XDD

Seriously, when I introduce Fin-san to SeshiroX, I never expect that they will have a chance to be in one stage, then hang out together.. I really never imagine that..

So when I found out they will be together in Graf live house in Fukuoka .. I was like, "WHAAAAATTT??!!??" and then again... I was wrong, it was not only in Fukuoka, but also in Takamatsu and Hiroshima too.. *rolls rolls on the ground with happiness

I know this is nothing special for anybody. But for me.. it's like my imagination jumps right away from my head and become reality without my realization .. I still feel surreal right now. Especially when I know Fin-san were in one car with SFTS .. that is just insane.. two of my favorites in this world .. just in one place.. just like that.. insane!!! XDD

Anyway, there's also some funny story around this tour, something like when Fin-san have to lost his 5000 yen because one food vending machine.. or like when SeshiroX have to pay Septaluck's meal .. I think Kosuke from Jaweye also have to pay this meal since they both lost in Janken game gyahahahaha.

not SeshiroX best smile LOL

Kosuke must be crying deep down inside XD

Oh, and there's also one small accident that happen to SeshiroX but thank God everything is okay :) (But I have to admit I'm getting panic when I saw this pic.. but he said he was okay.. so yeah, nothing to worried, he's fine ^_^)

[ALL Pictures credit from every Septaluck - SFTS - JAWEYE member's account that I've been stolen happily lol]

will close this entry with KAT-UCHI signature pose every time they finished a show.. PLEASE ENJOY mwahahaha

Welcome to your Adventure Log!
A blog for your campaign

Every campaign gets an Adventure Log, a blog for your adventures!

While the wiki is great for organizing your campaign world, it’s not the best way to chronicle your adventures. For that purpose, you need a blog!

The Adventure Log will allow you to chronologically order the happenings of your campaign. It serves as the record of what has passed. After each gaming session, come to the Adventure Log and write up what happened. In time, it will grow into a great story!

Best of all, each Adventure Log post is also a wiki page! You can link back and forth with your wiki, characters, and so forth as you wish.

One final tip: Before you jump in and try to write up the entire history for your campaign, take a deep breath. Rather than spending days writing and getting exhausted, I would suggest writing a quick “Story So Far” with only a summary. Then, get back to gaming! Grow your Adventure Log over time, rather than all at once.

The Story So Far
A Brief Recap

After taking their own paths, each member of the party finds themselves at a “Support Group” that was being sponsored by a certain L.F

After a brief tussle with a few drones and a short stalky man, the party fled the scene of the crime, Max bolting on his own.

Leo Rose and Cindy all meet up at Cindy’s house together, while Max attempts to cover his tracks. Leo and the group attempt to meet Max at Leo’s bar, before it is formal however, thugs who have been shasking down the spot show up and muscle them down some more. Stopped suddenly by a mysterious stranger, who takes the strangers and run.

After meeting together, they all discover and meet with a certin man by the name of Lysander Fulgrowth, he tell them that they are in danger, and being hunted by a man named Rudolf, for reasons unknown. He wants to help, but needs to know if he can trust him, so he asks them to expel the evil spirit haunting a house in suburban LA. After angering the Victim Spirit inside, they flee, back to the post office in Topanga they were asked to deliver the item in question at.

After a brief stint with the security of Travis’s Library (involving max turning into a fluffy pink elephant), they eventually find their way and meet with Travis Sondoval. Who tells them the tale of Atlantis, of the 3 realms (Aether – Supernatal, Hisil – Shadow, and the material Realm or “The Lie”) and the beings that once inhabited it.

He is working with Lysander to prevent Rudolph from arising a great artifact that is promised to bring infinite power and control over all three material realms, and somehow, all 4 of them hold a different part of the key….

Travis gives them information about a book that he feels could be important to their cause and more importantly, to keep them alive. After some extensive research, they find the book to be located at the Huntington Gardens, where they stage a heist and steal the book during a charity event where the book was to be donated to a man named “Clyde Kinsey”. They have just fled the scene and are now labeled as Criminals and on the run…

Project: Star Ocean on the SNES Classic (canoe)

Monday, December 25, 2017

Merry Christmas! =)

From day one of the SNES Classic release, when I first got my hands on it, my goal was to get Star Ocean running on the SNES Classic. And I don't mean that dumb Retroarch option. I mean Nintendos official emulator itself, canoe!

My research into it lead me down a path that saw me solve how to get every other 3 of the total 4 S-DD1 SNES games running on canoe (3 different region versions of SFA2), but successfully cracking the puzzle of Star Ocean eluded me. SFA2 was different, and comparatively easy. Known Preset IDs existed for 2 of them (the other was figured out easily), as well as the required ROM/SDA patch data. The pieces just needed to be found and pieced together with a little bit of effort for the games to work on canoe. Star Ocean is different however. It was never released on a Virtual Console like SFA2. So any work on running it had to be done blind, from the ground up. From scratch. Frustrated with only making minor advancements, I had to put that "project" on the shelf and focus on more productive things, like cataloging the entire list of known/unknown Preset IDs, and eventually working on yesterdays release of my sfrom Tool.

Earlier this month, after a brief bit of discouragement with with that project, I decided to take a another crack at Star Ocean again. I thought that maybe with all I've learned since then, that I could try something new and perhaps find new success. And... a couple days later... I did!

I got it to boot! And as expected... it looked like garbage! lol. As I often had to say about emulating it on canoe, the first step was getting it to boot at all. The next step was going to be getting it to look good.

Now with it booting, it was time to better research S-DD1, and the hacks Nintendo did for SFA2 to get it running on their emulators. To see if I can do the same method, but from scratch.

Now a few weeks later, I'm confident enough in the potential project that, yes, it can be done! I have an Alpha version patch for it running now! So I'm now confident enough to announce the project!

While my Alpha is quite complete, there's still more to do with the project! I want to take my time and be confident in that the entire thing is properly documented/vetted, and all the S-DD1 calls are properly patched like SFA2. Here's the thing. SFA2 has 2,767 S-DD1 compressed data blocks in it that Nintendo had to patch for the VC. Star Ocean? Well, what I know of right now comes in at about 30,000. That's... a lot! Further, it has become blatantly aware to me that Nintendo did NOT design their S-DD1 hack method with Star Ocean in mind. And because of that, the game requires some... extra hacking. Which I had to learn, but is thus far proving very successful.

That said, I can only announce the project right now. With projects like this, if you release something... then its out there for good. Bugs and all! You cant erase it from the internet, and people will constantly be sharing it, even when a better newer release is available. I never considered myself a ROM hacker before, though I guess I now am. But I now understand the point of view of previous ROM hack/translation developers I used to follow. So I don't want to release a hack like this until its been properly tested, and I'm reasonably confident that it's close to exactly how Nintendo would have done it officially.

So there it is. I finally caught my white whale! Stay tuned to one day add this game you your SNES Classic library!

To hold you over, and give this announcement something more tangible as a Christmas release/present, as well as provide some measure of proof, I had a video made! Enjoy! =)

P.S. - I will need some beta testers at some point. Primarily for the Japanese version of the ROM. But eventually for the English version. So shoot me a PM on reddit or something if you're up to it. It will require playing through the game searching for corrupt graphics tiles, crashes, soft locks, keeping/sharing save states and srams, etc.

Why not on the retroarch emulator? Is it just because of the rewind feature?
