Survey: Do You Like Stinky Foods?
Truffles. Washed rind cheeses. Pickled radishes. Fish sauce. Durian. Old socks. Barnyard. Armpit. Funky smelling foods: Some of us love them (raises hand!), some of us pinch our noses and run from the room. Which camp do you fall into, and do you have a favorite stinky food? If so, tell us in the comments.
I'm not sure why foods that have intense smells (also called earthy, pungent, rotting, fermenting) are appealing to some of us. Does it have to do with some ancient cellular memory back to the days before refrigeration? Is it that many fermented foods contain important nutrients? What do you think?

I can't say I'd choose to eat stinky food over more..normal food (unless brie counts??) - I just love eating it with/near others. Muahaha..
Smelly food is a sometimes thing.
Only once have I eaten a cheese that was so ripe and pungent that I had to say no. It was acidic and tasted like paint thinner. Other than that, I like it stinky and pungent. I was just pondering this same question last night when I was driving and could smell skunk and liked it. Why??
I love you, sauerkraut.
Ick. No. Maybe when my taste buds die off some more I'll like stinky foods.
meunudo.... Dad is hispanic, Mom is Irish... My dad's parents had us eating it at a young age. The smell actually makes my mom vomit. She can smell it a mile away...
While I don't really care for the stinky examples listed, the more onions and garlic, the better. I'm not happy until I'm completely unkissable!
LOVE stinky food. Once you get past the smell, you can almost always be rewarded with the flavor!
I love durian, stinky tofu, stinky cheese, fish sauce...
And Tazer, I don't mind skunk smell too!!!! I actually think it smells like sesame oil, but nobody believes me.....
It's not so black and white. I like brie, but I'll never do stinky tofu.
I like stinky foods -- most of them, anyway. But I have never been able to make myself try beer. I get it to within an inch of my face and the smell becomes overwhelming.
A lot of stinky foods are fermented, which is a good way to introduce healthy bacteria to our guts. So maybe there's a reason we eat them. If not that, surely it was an early way at making food last longer.
I was just thinking about this yesterday while enjoying some sardines.
stinkier the better! I grew up eating kimchi as a staple, so stinky doesn't phase me!
Oh yes please. Give me the most fetid Spanish Cabrales and some jamon and I am content and glowing for months.
Some I can't do. I will *try* real durian if I get the chance, but based on recent candy experience I'm not going to like it.
The yuckiest thing I ever ate was sea urchin and it didn't smell bad, so I'm not judge-y
This isn't a yes-or-no question for me, because I like some stinky foods but abhor others.
Mmmm kimchi.
I'll try anything once (or three times, per Jeffrey Steingarten's theories) and have learned to love a lot of things... sauerkraut and kimchi come to mind. But I've always loved all manner of cheeses and pungent Chinese dishes with shrimp paste or fermented tofu
I've had fresh durian twice and I find the flavor so lovely but the smell and the aftertaste are the real challenge.
"Stinky" is kind of subjective, isn't it? Give me any washed rind French cheese any day of the week for any meal but that fish sauce stuff makes me gag.
Same boat as storyscribe- LOVE all cheeses, as well as truffles, and most pickled fermented vegetables... but I cannot stomach large amounts of fish sauce or Indian pickles!
Armpit totally depends on whose armpit: mine smell lovely right after I've applied deoderant in the morning. Not that I'm going to nom on my underarms. :)
But for the most part: NO. One of the worst offenders for me, in fact, is alcohol. Smells like a laboratory strength chemical, and technically it is. Give me the hard, aged cheeses and kosher dill refrigerator pickles please.
Durian ice cream. I've had fresh durian before and its interesting but the flavor is intense, which turns off a lot of people but also makes it perfect for ice cream (tempered by the cream, sugar and cold it becomes a really unique, decadent dessert). Sedap sekali :)
mmmmm.... Curry and holubsti (Ukrainian stuffed cabbage). So stinky and yet so good! I actually kind of hate the smell of boiling cabbage but it's like I've tricked myself because even while my eyes are watering from the stink, my mouth is watering in anticipation of the deliciousness to follow! lol!
I really enjoy brie, just so long as it doesn't TASTE like mildew I'm fine.
Onions, curry, heavy spices - I'm there! But head more towards gorgonzola or limburger - no thanks!
My mom used to eat this canned vegetable called SatSoy? DISGUSTING! Ew!
There should be another option for people like me: Adore some stinky foods like anchovies, but hate others like blue cheese.
So opposite of some people on here.
Pont L'eveque cheese -- yum!
Someone's preference partly depends on what you grew up with. I'm Korean, I grew up with 'stinky' foods like kimchi. My husband is Vietnamese so he grew up with fish sauce and durian. Needless to say, we both LOVE stinky foods and are more than happy to try out new stinky foods. (Although, to us those foods aren't stinky.)
But if you grew up in an ethnicity that involves blander foods or less... pungent flavors, there'd be more of a challenge to overcome your initial reaction.
Stinky? Sure. I love me some fish sauce and fermented tofu, aged cheeses, etc.
I've never encountered a stinky food that turned me away.
For the record, Brie is NOT a stinky food. But yes, stinky tofu in Shanghai is where I finally found my stinky food limit.
I think it is a real animal thing. Like dogs who won't eat thier food unless it has been microwaved so it smells a bit
Durian's king.. enough said
smelly cheese <3
I'm a smelly cheese kind o' gal. When in Paris a few years back we actually encountered a festival called The Land of a 1000 Cheeses. Yes, please!! We gave all cheeses the sock test. "Is this one socky smelling?" "This one has the sockiest smell of all". And so on. Never tried the stinky tofu, but I am intrigued...
Stinky foods are lovely. I think they have more umami than 'regular' foods.
Love me some dried fish, stinky cheese, organs (esp. liver)...
That being said, stinky tofu really scares me.
i know I'm SUPER late responding but...I've never ever thought of brie, pickled anything, or curry as "stinky". To me, "Stinky" denotes a foul/rotten smell...brie has little scent to me...pickled foods smell like vinegar to me...and curry, although a strong, distinct scent, doesnt smell "foul" or "rotten" either...

This ancient writer claims that Cerberus had 50 heads. Was he counting the snakes or something?
In this epic poem, Aeneas manages to tip toe right past Cerberus after the Sibyl puts the hound to sleep with tranquilizer-laced cake.
The most hellish hound of all spends his days punishing the gluttonous in Dante's vision of Hell.
In the Marvel Universe, Cerberus can transform into a big muscled man who blasts fire from his helmet - which is awesome.
Cerberus dukes it out anime style. Check it.
Cerberus tries to take a bite out of Percy Jackson in this YA novel. Bad, Cerberus.
Kratos dukes it out with Cerberus and lots of three-headed look-a-likes in this violent video game.
Cerberus makes a poochy appearance in this movie about gods living in modern day NYC.

"You have vegetables, bread and potatoes and gravy," explains Head Chef Donnie Handeland. "It stands on its own."
He's talking about Neighbors Eatery & Saloon's famous Roast Beef Sandwich, a staple of the restaurant's menu. It's an open-faced combination of roast beef, mashed potatoes, mushrooms, onions, provolone cheese and sourdough bread, all slathered with homemade gravy.
"It's a full meal right there," Handeland said.
Owners Joe Holtz and Joe Stafsholt decided to enter the restaurant business on somewhat of a whim.
Holtz was driving a truck in the 2010 Albertville Friendy City Days Parade when he saw the location for sale. The rest is history.
Since opening its doors in November, Neighbors has been an Albertville hotspot, getting rave reviews from locals for its food, décor and hospitality.
"We want to be a part of the community, do a good job and have a nice, clean place," Holtz said. "We've expanded our menu, and the food is homemade and just really good."

When the news broke that Halle Berry is pregnant with her second child at the ripe old age of 46, most of us reacted with something along the lines of, "Good luck, honey ... hope you're ready!"
Sure, we're happy for her and all, but it's pretty tough for a lot of women to imagine being pregnant (not to mention dealing with a newborn) well into their 40s. But even though Halle admits finding out she is pregnant was the biggest surprise of her life, everything does happen for a reason -- and age is only a number anyway, right?
That seems to be the philosophy of quite a few other women in Hollywood -- like Kelly Preston, for instance.
She and her husband John Travolta welcomed their third child, Benjamin, in November 2010 -- when Kelly was 48 years old. (She has Halle beat!)
Take a look at these photos to see seven more celebrities who got pregnant and had babies in their 40s.
Image via Splash
Mariska Hargitay (Det. Benson) of Law & Order SVU had her first child when she was over 40 as well.
You forgot mention Halle Berry. She had her first child in her early 40's and now expecting her second child at 46.

In a press release sent out Tuesday evening, the Shoshone County Prosecuting Attorney has issued a decision concerning the June 12, 2013 officer-involved shooting in the death of Alexander Mandarino, of Montana.
The Prosecuting Attorney, Keisha Oxendine, says she has reviewed the reports from the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office, and the assigned team of the Critical-Incident Task Force, as well as the dashboard audio and video of Trooper Todd McDevitt, Idaho State Police and Deputy Adam Durflinger, Shoshone County Sheriff's Office. Based on the evidence, Oxendine has stated that her conclusion is that the actions of Trooper Todd McDevitt, Idaho State Police, were justified.
Oxendine says Mandarino posed an "immediate and continuing danger to the officers on scene, more specifically, Trooper McDevitt and Deputy Adam Durflinger, Shoshone County Sheriff's Office."
The release continues to state that "the circumstances in this case evidence that Trooper McDevitt and Deputy Durflinger were presented with a viabale threat of deadly force by Mandarino, through the presentation of a firearm by Mandarino and his refusal to release the firearm despite Trooper McDevitt's repeated demands and despite the trooper's attempt to struggle with Mandarino over the firearm. Under these circumstances, the use of deadly force by the Trooper in response to Mandarino's actions in this case is justified."
UPDATE: The Kootenai County Sheriff's Office has released the name of the suspect in Wednesday's shooting incident. Alexander L. Mandarino, age 26 from Whitefish, MT was the individual involved in the incident. His family has been notified.
An autopsy was performed Thursday afternoon; results are not available at this time. Toxicology reports will not be available for 6-8 weeks.
On June 12, 2013 at just before 12:00 PM, the Shoshone County Sheriff's Office responded to Interstate 90 at about milepost 73, about 2 miles west of the Idaho/Montana border, to check the welfare of a motorist parked in an eastbound turnout.
Once the deputy arrived on scene, an Idaho State Trooper stopped to assist. During the contact with the occupant of the car, he was found to be in possession of a handgun. A struggle ensued and during the struggle, the ISP Trooper fired his service weapon, striking the male.
The suspect, a white male in his twenties, was transported to Shoshone Medical Center where he succumbed to his injuries. At this time, the male hasn't been positively identified. An autopsy will be scheduled at a later time.
The multi-agency Critical Investigative Team was requested for the investigation, with the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office being the lead agency.
Both the trooper and deputy are on administrative leave per their department protocols. They were not injured in the incident.
>>>If anyone traveling on I-90 witnessed the incident, they are asked to contact the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office at (208)446-1300.
Further information will be released as it becomes available.

It's perhaps the last thing anyone would expect to see during a bike ride back to work, but one bicyclist narrowly dodged a Molotov cocktail that was tossed from a bridge while he rode on a popular path on Wednesday.
Drew Ditlefsen told FOX 9 News he was shaken for an hour after the homemade fire-bomb was dropped in his direction while he was riding his bicycle on the Midtown Greenway.
"I just heard a loud thud with a glass and just like a woosh," Ditlefsen recalled.
While he doesn't want his story to scare anyone off the path, Ditlefsen told FOX 9 News he believes something needs to be done to prevent it from happening again.
Ditlefsen said the flaming bottle was hurled at him as he approached the 15th Avenue bridge while returning to work just after lunch hour.
"I saw two people on top of the bridge and the entire width of the Greenway was in flames," he recalled.
Ditlefsen snapped photos of the erupted cocktail and marveled at how lucky it was that he wasn't riding with his usual 400-pound load of coffee beans.
He filed a report with the Minneapolis Police Department, and officers are currently dusting for prints. Glass shards can still be found under the bridge, and officers are urging bicyclists to be careful.
While he did not feel like he was the direct target of an attack, Ditlefsen said he knows a random event like this could happen to anyone and he hopes others will be alert on the Greenway and he hopes the city will consider putting up a barrier.
"I really think that something so little as five feet of fencing could've stopped it and would stop a lot from happening," he said.
Dangerous as it could have been, no pedestrians or cyclists who passed by seemed to shocked by what happened.
"I've already had rocks thrown at me by kids on the bike path here, as well as in the area, just throwing things at me," said Zac Adams-Bliss.
FOX 9 News attempted to contact the Minneapolis Bike Coalition for comment on this story but did not hear back.

Billing FAQ
Clinical Trials
Research happens at CDH
If you have questions about your bill from Central DuPage Hospital, please consult the frequently asked questions below. If your specific question is not covered here, or you desire further information, please contact our patient financial services department at 630-933-3300.
Why did I receive more than one bill for my care at CDH? What's the difference between "in-network" and "out-of-network" providers? Which insurance plans does CDH accept? Are physician groups affiliated with CDH considered "in-network" under my managed care plan? Do I need to mail a paper claim to my insurance company? Will my insurance pay for my visit or treatment at CDH? Does Medicare cover the cost of my visit at CDH? Where can I call to find out the cost of a test or procedure? What are my payment options? I have a question about my bill. Who can I contact? What if I am uninsured or believe I will have difficulty paying my bill? Am I able to set up a payment plan?
You may receive two or more bills for your care at CDH. One bill will be from the hospital itself, covering charges related to the facility, patient room, supplies and nursing care. This bill will say "Central DuPage Hospital" at the top. You may also receive a separate bill(s) from any physician who participated in your care. Most of the physicians providing your care at CDH are independent and bill separately for services rendered.
Many insurance plans (HMOs ad PPOs) offer different levels of coverage for healthcare services depending on whether a healthcare provider is considered "in-network" or "out-of-network." The insurance company will likely cover a higher percentage of the costs for an in-network hospital or physician. If you choose to receive care from a provider that is out-of-network, your insurance company will likely cover a lower percentage of the costs, potentially leaving you with a higher out-of-pocket expense. Check with your insurance company directly about specific plan requirements.
CDH accepts many insurance plans, but may not be considered an "in-network" provider for all plans. If you are uncertain about your insurance coverage and network, please check with your insurance company directly for specific plan requirements. You may also wish to consult the list of insurance companies with which CDH currently has contracts. This list is continually evolving, so it is best to check with your insurance company directly for the most up-to-date information.
You may receive bills from physician practices for professional services related to your care. Individual practices – such as West Central Anesthesiology, Midwest Pathology, Emergency Department Physicians, Winfield Radiology and Winfield Lab Consultants – may or may not be considered an "in-network" provider. Contact your insurance company for details related to your coverage.
CDH will bill Medicare, Medicaid and all insurance companies directly – usually within a week of your appointment, test or discharge from the hospital. As long as CDH has your most current and accurate insurance information, and you have signed a release of medical information, you will not need to fill out and mail a paper claim.
If you have more than one insurance plan, CDH will handle the claims processing for all of your plans.
For specific questions regarding Medicare coverage, please contact our patient financial services department at 630-933-3300.
To obtain a price estimate for a test or procedure at CDH, please call our Patient Financial Services department at 630-933-3300. To help us provide the most accurate estimate, please have a copy of your physician's order, the procedure name or CPT code and diagnosis ICD-9 code, if available.
You can make payment by cash, personal checks, money orders, debit cards and major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express). Payments can be made online at cadencehealth.org, by mail or in person at the hospital's cashier's office, the Emergency Department or any CDH Convenient Care Center, or by calling 630-933-3300.
If you have a question about your bill, feel free to contact our Patient Financial Services Department at 630-933-3300, Monday-Friday, 8 am to 5 pm.
Central DuPage Hospital has a variety of Financial Assistance Programs, including a payment plan option, designed to ensure that medically necessary care is available to everyone, regardless of insurance status or ability to pay.

[Editor's Note: Michael suffers from a condition where he continually believes it is the year 1999]
Just when I thought this current year couldn't get any more BOSS, I get the news that George Lucas, age 54, is making a new Star Wars movie! That's right! He's finally doing the prequels! And better than that, he's releasing them in 3D, a phenomenon with which filmmakers have barely begun to experiment! But that's Lucas for you.
His new Star Wars adage, The Phantom Menace, is sure to thrill. Just look at that menacing phantom center stage! Who is that guy?! He looks more badass than contemporary nu metal sensation Korn! I can't wait to see this film.
I can only begin to imagine just how this film will change cinema from here on out. With Y2K just around the corner to end things for America once and for all, we can rest assured that Lucas won't leave us with a disappointment! And if you disagree, well...you must be crazy, like Robert Downey, Jr. Not sane, like Tom Cruise.
The Phantom Menace 3D reaches theaters February 10, next year. Vote Perot!

49 Louisville Students Recognized at Thursday Night BanquetMeet this year's Outstanding Seniors
Individually, they represent 49 Louisville-area schools. Collectively, they are the cream of the crop of local graduating seniors.
Mayor Jerry Abramson is recognizing recipients of the annual Mayor's Outstanding High School Seniors awards, sponsored by AT&T. Abramson will present the awards to the students this evening at a banquet in the Archibald Room of downtown's Galt House Hotel, 140 North Fourth Street.
This year's recipients include two students who emigrated from Africa, a student who has participated in missionary work in Nicaragua and Brazil, students who have volunteered in homeless shelters, with children suffering from moderate and severe disabilities and through providing burial services for the indigent, and several teenagers who have overcome personal adversity to excel in the classroom. The students, who represent virtually all of Louisville's public and private high schools, include at least 14 National Honor Society members and 11 Governor's Scholars.
"Each year, I am inspired by the stories that come with these awards," Abramson said. "Many of these students have stood up to some extremely difficult challenges to become great students and role models. They deserve our thanks and best wishes for the future."
The Outstanding High School Seniors Award began in the mid-1980s, and when Abramson took office in 1986, he expanded the program to include more schools. Each high school principal and guidance counselor in the city is asked to nominate a student for the award.
AT&T has partnered with the city of Louisville as a sponsor of the event in 20 of the last 22 years. During the 25-year history of the banquet, more than 1,350 students have been honored.
Photos and biographies of each honored student can be found online at www.louisvilleky.gov/mayor.

The addition of Wi-Fi makes the RIM BlackBerry 8820 an even more powerful communication device for business users, taking it beyond just e-mail and phone calls.
The Toshiba Excite 10 SE looks like, and is, a generic budget-range 10-inch Android tablet...nothing more, nothing less.
The $99.99 Sony Xperia Ion looks like a good Android deal but its weaknesses make it not worth even the budget price.
The AT&T Fusion is fine if you're a patient soul who doesn't expect much in a handset but wants to make the jump to Android. For everyone else, I suggest you move on.
The Sharp FX has plenty of multimedia features and additional services to occupy socialites and text-happy users, but mediocre call quality and some usability flaws keep it from fulfilling its complete potential.

Welcome to the Wilford Church website
Hello from everyone at Wilford Church - or St Wilfrids Wilford as it's more formally known.Our website tells you a little bit about us and gives you some news about what the members of our church family are doing, both within the church itself and within our local community. The Calendar lists our service times (usually 8:00 and 10:30 every Sunday) as well as the many other events, activities and courses we run. If you don't know us, then it would be great to see you at a service or at one of these events.If you can't find the information you need, then please contact us directly.Revd Phil Marsh

25 May 2014: The road ahead
Following on from the church AGM (part 1) we promised we'd get together for part 2. This will be an evening when we can come together to look at our vision for the church and 'the road ahead'. It's set for Thursday 5 June. You'll find out about our current missional activity and the plans various groups already have in hand. Then we'll explore what else the future could hold for us as a church and church family within our local community. We hope to see you there. It's also not long until Pentecost - the Sunday (this year 8 June) that is often called the church's birthday. If you want to know a bit more about Pentecost then see our facebook page for a short video - and there are plenty of Pentecost events listed on our newsletter. Finally, our church halls are not just somewhere to have a coffee after the Sunday morning serrvice. The halls are available for hire for childrens' parties and many other things. If you want more information or to make a booking, then contact Anne Mason (0115 981 7193 or email@example.com).
26 April 2014: It's that time of year again
Once a year the church, like many organisations, needs to hold its annual general meeting - sometimes called the annual parochial meeting - along with the vestry meeting. But whatever you want to call it, it's being held in church tomorrow directly after the morning service. The reports from various areas within the church, including the finance report, have been written in advance as usual and you'll find them in the 2014 AGM booklet. You can ask questions on any of the reports at the meeting, after the important business of electing church wardens, church council members and deanery synod representatives. Before then don't forget that tonight we're showing Les Miserables in the church hall as the culmination of the Lent explorations that have been based on the film.
12 April 2014: Easter updates
The dates for all of our Easter services have been on the newsletter and are now in the calendar too - we hope to see you at one or more of these services at this very important time in the Christian year. We've added something new to the mix - so on the afternoon of Good Friday (from 2-4) we're taking over the Silverdale Community Centre for an Easter Celebration. This will be suitable for the whole family and for all ages. It's about the story of Easter - with lots of crafts and activities - and it's about being a community. We'll provide refreshments too. Then after the lows and highs of Easter, it's on to the formal business of the church's annual meeting. Among other items, it's where church wardens, church council members and deanery synod representatives get elected. So if you're interested in any of these roles, contact Phil or church council secretary Paul Wicks. (Don't forget to follow us on Facebook - StWilfridsWilford - for regular updates and photos of church life.)
6 March 2014: Sunday 'gatherings' planned for Lent
Throughout Lent we're running an evening service, or maybe it's better called a 'gathering'. It's based on some material by the dour Yorkshire comedian Les Miserable. Sorry, that was a poor attempt at a joke, the evenings will actually explore themes from Victor Hugo's book (now a musical and film) Les Miserables. You may adore this or you may not know much about it – that's fine, all are welcome. We'll be watching clips from the film, looking at verses from the Bible and discussing issues arising from them. We'll end each session with an informal time of sung worship to give us chance to reflect and respond to what we've been talking about. We hope you can come and you might like to bring a friend - maybe someone you have discovered to be a 'person of peace'.

The Cancer Genome Atlas Begins with 3-Year, $100 Million Pilot
Leaders from NCI and the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) today launched the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Pilot Project, a comprehensive effort to accelerate understanding of the molecular basis of cancer.
The TCGA Pilot Project will be monitored using specific milestones for certain components of the project and the overall project will be evaluated on the basis of key success factors. A pilot project is required to establish processes and determine feasibility; a decision to scale up TCGA at the completion of this 3-year period will be based on achieving these success factors. At a news conference in Washington, D.C., NCI and NHGRI each pledged $50 million over 3 years to the pilot.
NCI Deputy Director Dr. Anna Barker said, "TCGA is a revolutionary program which capitalizes on so much of what we've accomplished in the last 30-plus years of biomedical and cancer research. The Human Genome Project produced an amazing product, and we are now positioned to leverage the human genome sequence for TCGA. This is the first attempt to use large-scale gene sequencing for human health - and I am glad that cancer patients and their families will be the beneficiaries. The project will enable a new generation of discovery and empower translational and clinical research across all sectors. Our intent is that all of the data move quickly into the public domain for everyone's use."
Cancer includes more than 200 different diseases, each with a set of genetic changes that results in uncontrolled cell growth. The TCGA Pilot Project will develop and test the science and technology needed to systematically identify the genetic changes in a small number of cancers.
Such an exploration of the genetic origins of the many diseases called cancer would not have been possible a decade ago. But new technologies and genome analysis tools, especially large-scale genome sequencing, have led scientists to a better understanding of how and why genetic changes cause cancer.
Many of these insights and technologies evolved during the Human Genome Project (HGP), an international effort led in the United States by NHGRI and the Department of Energy, and completed in April 2003, which provided a reference DNA sequence of the human genome. Just as HGP enhanced the availability of genomic tools, TCGA is expected to lead to new technologies for high-throughput, cost-effective analysis of the cancer genomes.
The TCGA Pilot Project will consist of: a Core Human Biospecimen Resource to collect, quality-assure, and distribute biomolecules from the samples; Genome Characterization Centers that will employ genome analysis technologies to identify key genomic and epigenomic changes; Genome Sequencing Centers to resequence candidate genes identified through data integration from all program components; a Bioinformatics Core Resource which will develop the bioinformatics and analysis tools needed to integrate and deploy TCGA's database through NCI's cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid™ and NIH's Center for Bioinformatics; and a Technology Development Program that will focus on driving new genome analysis technologies through individual investigator grants and NCI's SBIR program.

I have been trying to put out 5 pages of script per day. Nor sure what that translates to.
I've been noticing in some threads on here how hard people are finding it to write every day. Like, EVERY day. And I am totally with you on that. I have trouble, even now! Before I started writing for a living (and I've only been doing that since January of this year, so I really am a Baby Writer) I struggled SO BADLY to keep the daily words coming. Especially with day jobs, working shifts, family stuff, and all the other things that Life brings you.
So, I wondered if it would help any of you guys to try the thing I tried a few years ago. It's not my idea at all - I can't take the credit - but it's something that has been used by prose writers/novelists for a long time.
It's called 'Club 100'. Here are the rules:
-Write 100 words every single day for 100 consecutive days.
-If for ANY reason you miss a day, you go back to Day One and start again.
That's it. Very simple.
The idea is not to break the 'thread' of daily words, and it becomes a challenge to see those days and words pile up. It's something that encourages the DAILY ACT OF WRITING. And, you know... 100 words is barely half-a-page of dialogue in a novel or short story manuscript. It's just one paragraph (one paragraph!) of description.
You can write one paragraph a day, right? Even if you scribble it down on a piece of paper before you go to sleep. Even if you do it handwritten in a notebook on your daily commute (I did that for a while). Or on your lunch break. It doesn't take more than about 10 minutes to write 100 words, as long as you don't allow yourself to agonise over every single one of those words. (Which is part of the trick, I know.)
Of course, you can write way more than 100 words - and you'll probably find that many times you will end up writing several pages, or whatever. But it's a great way of getting past the "I can't write every day" block that hits so many of us. On the days where you really DON'T have time, you can still squeeze in your 100 words. Write them in the bath! Or... anywhere else...
I'm not sure how transferable this idea is to comics writing, but why not give it a try?
Thanks, Karen for the idea and inspiration.
I'm much more of a wuss these days. If I get a migraine, I just give up on writing for the day. But back then, I was determined to make the 100 consecutive days. Especially once you get to day 93 or something. You spend half the time terrified that something will happen to derail you and you'll have to go back to the beginning... My boyfriend supervised me and called me on my bullshit if I tried to pretend I'd written, especially as I was working loooong shifts in an understaffed London library and was always knackered.
Let me know if you give it a try! I might do it again myself - I'm losing my discipline, lately.
Like like like
Day 2 and counting.
Maybe we should post some of these now and again.

Looking for Personal Training or Nutrition Coaching in the Halifax? Contact me! :)
The Fit Paige
Ladies, Why are we afraid to lift heavy weights? The most common awnser I hear is "I don't want to bulk up." Today, I will bust this myth for you so that you can finally begin to achieve the results you desire and the results you deserve.
To build a lot of muscle quickly, your body needs to produce high levels of testosterone which a woman's body simply does not do. Even women who have higher than average testosterone production in their body do not produce enough to become bulky after a few heavy weight training days. The women who may appear "bulky" to you have done so in one of 2 ways: they have good genetics and an incredible work ethic to put in the hours and hours of time, sweat and strict diet to achive the additional muscle mass - or- they have used steroids or other enhancing drugs. What will happen when you challange yourself with weight training is a tight, firm, fit, and cellulite-free body - much like the girls in the sports advertisments and magazines.
So how much muscle will you gain? Well the average woman or beginner may add 5lbs of muscle in a year. If you are training hard with dedication, a woman can put on up to 12lbs in a year, but exercise, training, genetics and diet all play into the attainability of that number.
Muscle is also the missing link in improving your metabolism.
Less Muscle = Lower Metabolism
More Muscle = Higher Metabolism
No amout of "fat buring super food" or "metabolism charging drink" will ever do for your metabolism and your weight loss goals as adding 1-2 extra lbs of muscle will. Imagine your muscles are furnaces in your body, furnaces that will burn fat. Weight training will add another furnace or two, and will help tune up the other furnaces so we can run them on high and burn more fat.
Women should train with weight, and should feel challanged. Weight training helps prevent osteoporosis, increases energy, and decreases stress. Wightlifting makes us look good and feel great - it is truely empowering!
No one is stopping her… so what's stopping you?
1)Plan Ahead - Start meal planning now. If you plan ahead of time to have healthy pre-dawn meals (Suhoor), Healthy sundown meal(Iftaar), and a good snack after Taraweeh Prayers, you are less likely to order take out because you are tired, or be at the call of food cravings. Stay tuned for food planning advice.
2)Start Reducing caffeine intake - Avoid the painful caffeine withdrawal while fasting, start cutting back now and avoid the headache (literally)
3)Bring Water to Taraweeh Prayers - Take water with you during the extra prayers during Ramadan. Marathon Praying is tough and so is fasting during the summer, drink up!
4)Attend Taraweeh Prayers - Get moving! Do not fall into the habit of eating all night long. Put down the 3rd helping and go pray. This will help your digestion as well as your sleep since the prayers have a physical aspect, and it will help you the next day with a dose of spirituality.
5)Be Active - Check out a local 24hr gym, plan to train at home in the evening or even better, workout 1 hr before Iftaar. This is preferable to maintain muscle and stay fit because the body is in a prime state to receive nutrients post-workout (like startchy carbs with your protien). Focus more on weight training, less cardio or no cardio. Take it slow and listen to your body. Start working out now and learn how to work out before Ramadan starts. You will find if you work out just before breaking fast, your energy wil soar.
It is such a beautiful day here in Nova Scotia, perfect day to go outside and enjoy the sun! A nice breeze is blowing through the trees, and people are out walking and biking and having fun. This is the sort of day that makes me feel grateful for good health and fitness. Without my health, I could not go out and enjoy this day fully, without my fitness I could not run or bike, or feel comfotable in the sun.
This is the kind of day that reminds me of Eileen, who is as sunny and bright as the day, and of her journey that gave her back control over her life. Eileen was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis in 1990, a form of arthritis causing loss of mobility of the spine and some joints. Movement was hard for her, her own doctors told her she would end up in a wheel chair, and was quite depressed. Then in 2010 Eileen came to see me. She was sick and tired of feeling sick and tired, she was done with skipping out on functions and events because of pain or from low confidence. She was ready for change and I was excited to help her. A year later Eileen had droped over 80lbs, joined a hiking club, and let her true sunny self shine to all those around her. I will never forget the day she came in crying because she sat down on the beach - because she had the mobility to get down onto the sand, and without the weight or pain, it didn't hurt to sit there in the sun and chat with her friend. Se was so happy, and I was thrilled for her.
How much we take for granted, being able to sit and stand, to walk, to be active. Eileen no longer lets life drift past her door, she is out enjoying every bit of it! I hope you are too, and if not, what is stoping you from enjoying life? find out what that is and work to change it - a year from now, you will be glad you did.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (May 16, 2013) – Rutgers women's lacrosse senior goalie Lily Kalata (Nesconset, N.Y.) earned Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) All-American Third Team honors, the organization announced.
"I am very excited that I get to represent Rutgers University with this award," said Kalata. "I am extremely grateful to the IWLCA for this recognition. I would like to thank my support system – my parents, teammates and coaches – for helping me along the way."
"I could not be more proud of Lily and her four years here at Rutgers," said head coach Laura Brand-Sias. "She is truly deserving of this honor and I believe it is a true indication of her passion and dedication to our program over her career."
The netminder becomes the first Scarlet Knight to earn All-American honors since Brooke Cantwell in 2010. She becomes the 10th RU standout to be selected as an All-American and the third under Brand-Sias.
Kalata, a four-time IWLCA all-regional selection, finished second in the BIG EAST this season with a 7.76 GAA and third in save percentage (.456). In the NCAA, Kalata's goals against average was good for eighth place, while her save percentage ranked 17th overall.
Follow Rutgers Athletics on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/RutgersAthletics) and Twitter (@RUAthletics) for all of the latest news and updates. For specific updates regarding women's lacrosse, follow the program on Twitter (@rulaxbrand). Fans can receive timely information, including special offers and giveaways throughout the year on our social media outlets along with http://www.ScarletKnights.com.

"I can't accept that. I can't accept that there was only one black woman in the entire film, who delivered one line and who we never saw again. I can't accept that the bad guys were Asian and that although in China, Lucy's roommate says, "I mean, who speaks Chinese? I don't speak Chinese!" I can't accept that in Hercules, which I also saw this weekend, there were no people of color except for Dwayne Johnson himself and his mixed-race wife, whose skin was almost alabaster. I can't accept that she got maybe two lines and was then murdered. I can't accept that the "primitive tribe" in Hercules consisted of dark-haired men painted heavily, blackish green, to give their skin (head-to-toe) a darker appearance, so the audience could easily differentiate between good and bad guys by the white vs. dark skin. I can't accept that during the previews, Exodus: Gods and Kings, a story about Moses leading the Israelite slaves out of Egypt, where not a single person of color is represented, casts Sigourney Weaver and Joel Edgerton to play Egyptians. I can't accept that in the preview for Kingsman: The Secret Service, which takes place in London, features a cast of white boys and not a single person of Indian descent, which make up the largest non-white ethnic group in London. I can't accept that in stories about the end of the world and the apocalypse, that somehow only white people survive. I can't accept that while my daily life is filled with black and brown women, they are completely absent, erased, when I look at a TV or movie screen."
