Table 13. Predictors Associated with Uptake of Genetic Testing (GT) continued...
Apprehension about the impact of the test result was a more important factor in the decision to decline testing than were concrete burdens such as time required to travel to a genetics clinic and time spent away from work, family, and social obligations.[48] In 15% (n = 31) of individuals from 13 hereditary breast and ovarian cancer families who underwent genetic education and counseling and declined testing for a documented mutation in the family, positive changes in family relationships were reported-specifically, greater expressiveness and cohesion-compared with those who pursued testing.[49]
Genetic counseling and testing in children
Testing for BRCA1/2 mutations has been almost universally limited to adults older than 18 years. The risks of testing children for adult-onset disorders such as breast and ovarian cancers, as inferred from developmental data on children's medical understanding and ability to provide informed consent, have been outlined in several reports.[50,51,52,53]
Studies suggest that persons who have undergone BRCA1/2 genetic testing or who are adult offspring of persons who have had testing are generally not in favor of testing minors.[54,55] Although the data are limited, research suggests that males, mutation noncarriers, and those whose mothers did not have personal histories of breast cancer may be more likely to favor genetic testing in minors in general.[54] Of those who had minor children at the time the study was conducted, only 17% stated a preference for having their own children tested. Concerns regarding testing of minors included psychological risks and insufficient maturity. Potential benefits included the ability to influence health behaviors.[55]
No data exist on the testing of children for BRCA1/2 mutations, although some researchers believe it is necessary to test the validity of assumptions underlying the general prohibition of testing children for genetic mutations associated with breast and ovarian cancers and other adult-onset diseases.[56,57,58] In one study, 20 children (aged 11-17 years) of a selected group of mothers undergoing genetic testing (80% of whom previously had breast cancer and all of whom had discussed BRCA1/2 testing with their children) completed self-report questionnaires on their health beliefs and attitudes toward cancer, feelings related to cancer, and behavioral problems.[59] Ninety percent of children thought they would want cancer risk information as adults; half worried about themselves or a family member developing cancer. There was no evidence of emotional distress or behavioral problems.

Set amidst the turmoil of the Vietnam War at home, seven rebels unite with others dissatisfied with the government and begin to plot against it, daring to go as far as rebellion. With a personal story among each of them, Gates of Eden is a fine novel of the period, very much recommended. -- Midwest Book Review
Epic chapters in American history often inspire fiction. One of the latest epic entries is Gates of Eden, set in the 1960s by theater artist and political activist Charles Degelman. The anti-war movement is the canvass for his story, and - while his novel is not autobiographical - the author knows his subject well. - Danny Feingold, Frying Pan News

Wonderful rolls, made exactly as directed except sprinkled with a course salt on top before baking. Turned out soft and so good, the herb butter really set them off, directions were easy to follow, left overs made great sandwiches the next day
What an exhilarating release of gases! A smooth, soft-textured and robust flavored yeast bread that was easy with which to work. Mine looked a tad like puff babies and I had feared the 'bread-baking' gene had skipped two generations succinctly...or maybe this time I just held my tongue just right. Made for A-NZ #36 Recipe Swap.
These were great! We liked them alot. They are alot of work but so worth it! I thought they could use a little more salt and will add a little bit more next time. Thanks for posting these! Made for Pick a Chef Spring 2009
Fabulous rolls, they taste great and they look so impressive, I got huge kudos from the family, and a visiting friend, for these. They also freeze very well, incidentally! Your directions are spot on, it may look like a lot of steps, but so easy to work through. I made these on a weekend afternoon, while busy with other housework and cooking, so it was very simple to prepare the various steps inbetween other things. I didn't make the herb butter, and in fact, we have enjoyed these most with no butter! Thank you for a really great recipe that we all enjoyed very much and will definitely make again! Made for Australian/NZ Swap#26, March 2009
These rolls are just fabulous! The aroma alone was worth baking these for,let alone the flavour!! We loved them,and shall definately be making them again.Thanks Baby Kato. Made for 1-2-3-4 Hit Wonders.
I had to double this one!!! So good, even to snack on. Wonderful flavor!!
BK you have a winner here, these rolls are so good, the only change I made was I increased the yeast to 1 tableaspoon for faster rising, my house smelled wonderful while these rolls were baking, this will be a repeater thanks for sharing hon!....Kitten:)
The flavor of the rolls is outstanding. I prepared the dough in my kitchen aide, which made this go a little easier for me. It took a lot longer than 20 minutes to caramelize the onion, but that doesn't matter to me. I think next time I make these I'll press the onions into the top of the rolls a little so they don't fall off so easily. They did get a little crisp and some turned black during cooking, but they still had a great flavor. I made half of the dough into rolls as your instructions and made the other half into hamburger buns for burgers tonight. Thanks so much for posting this greeat recipe.
Awesome recipe Ger! These seemed like a lot of steps but were well worth it! I did acually carmelize my onions and it took well over the 20 minutes but I just let them go while I was doing other things. Once I started dividing the dough I used half as directed and made into the spiral rolls. The other half I made into hamburger buns. I got 9 regular rolls and 8 good sized buns, (guess I didnt but too accruate) They make an outstanding bun!!! BTW the herb butter is great on corn on the cob and steaks also. I am going to try to experiment with these mixing in the machine! Thanks for a great recipe that goes in the keepers!

The Portrait Is Finished & I Have Failed To Capture Your Beauty...
- Record Label: Locust
- Release Date: Jan 22, 2008
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Alternative PressThere are faint notes of Bossa Nova and Kate Bush in Bejar's sunny yet skewed arrangements--femme flights of fancy that brush past '70s and '80s folk-pop without sounding less than organic and original.
While Sydney Vermont's shaky, unusual voice might rub some the wrong way, I found it to be awkwardly beautiful - much like the rest of Hello, Blue Roses' debut album.
Although there are a few ever-so slightly awkward moments, Portrait bears the marks of a perfect collaboration, one in which two very strong (and very different) personal aesthetics merge seamlessly together into one unified vision.
SpinSydney Vermont and boyfriend Dan Bejar have spent the past two years quietly assembling their debut album's sublime folk rock. [Mar 2008, p.102]
The Portrait Is Finished and I Have Failed to Capture Your Beauty blends influences from two generally antithetical musical subgenres--hippie psych-folk and '80s U.K. art pop--into a languid, low-key whole that's perfect for both lazy, cozy lie-ins and middle-of-the-night headphone listening.
One could dwell on the poetics of Vermont's lyrics if they were more understandable; despite a high-flying voice, she enunciates with a marble-mouth worthy of Michael Stipe. Even Bejar isn't invulnerable here, tacking on guitar solos to cover holes in the songwriting walls.
The pair accomplished what they set out to do, but by no means are they causing any whiplash with the results.
What The Portrait Is Finished… evokes is a sense just like that of its inventive title: an ultimately unsatisfying portrait that fails to capture beauty, even though it's clear that true beauty is there to be captured.
This is a solid set of songs that's mannered and restrained to a fault.
Bejar wanders in and out with backing vocals and extended guitar lines, but the overall feeling is of two artists taking a little time out for themselves.
Under The RadarThe romantically intertwined duo make easy listening music that is neither challenging to listeners nor especially objectional. [Spring 2008, p.83]
Fuzztone guitar and the occasional woodwinds dress up the many slow-paced songs, but repetitive, fragmentary compositions such as 'Paquita Reads by Candlelight,' Vancouver-repping 'Skeleton Aim,' and the typically moribund 'Come Darkness' sound more concerned with melisma than memorable melodies or vibrant production.
Bejar's warm, odd voice does not jibe well with the voice of the former Toronto Children's Choir singer.
Together, they craft lilting, light-hearted art-folk that recalls something akin to Joni Mitchell sitting in with '80s British popsters Prefab Sprout at best, or some Renaissance Faire troubadour's best attempt at improv at its most mediocre.
These few songs ['Heron Song' and 'Shadow Falls'] are genuine highlights amidst a sea of generic acoustic balladry, a project that would make a great EP but--as a full-length--runs out of steam at a truly remarkable pace.

TAHLEQUAH, Okla. (AP) - Authorities have identified a woman found dead in a pond in Cherokee County.
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation said 38-year-old Donna Dulen of Stilwell was discovered Tuesday evening in a pond in a rural area west of Tahlequah.
OSBI spokeswoman Jessica Brown says the death is suspicious, but an autopsy revealed no signs of trauma to the body that would indicate foul play.
Brown says a final determination on the cause of death can't be determined until toxicology results are completed.
She says fishermen discovered the woman's body and notified authorities.

Asuncion (Reuters) - Horacio Cartes of Paraguay's powerful Colorado Party was winning Sunday's presidential election by a wide margin, according to two exit polls published in local media.
Cartes won the balloting with 50.8 percent of votes versus the 37 percent captured by the ruling Liberal Party candidate, Efrain Alegre, according to pollster First Analisis y Estudios.
An exit poll by the Institute for Communication and Art showed Cartes with 53.5 percent of votes, well ahead of Alegre's 32.6 percent.

Reports have come out of New York that the Knicks are involved in a potential trade for former All-Star Tracy McGrady.
The reported three-team trade would land McGrady in New York in exchange for Al Harrington who would depart for Washington and either Larry Hughes, Jared Jefferies or Eddy Curry would be sent to Houston.
The deal also includes the Wizards sending Caron Butler and Brendan Haywood to the Rockets.
I have always been a fan of Mcgrady, but regardless of what happens between the Knicks, Rockets and Wizards in the upcoming week, McGrady would not add much talent to the New York Knicks.
That's because Tracy McGrady is not the player he once was. In fact, he is hardly a shell of his former self.
McGrady, 30, has not stepped foot in an NBA game in over a year due to season ending knee surgery that sidelined him for the second half of the 2009 campaign.
While the Knicks are possibly unloading two disgruntled players in Al Harrington and Larry Hughes/Eddy Curry, they are acquiring one who has outstayed his welcome in Houston.
McGrady was supposed to be a factor for the Rockets this year, but because of a dispute over playing time with head coach Rick Adelman, he has been banished from the team.
McGrady was once one of the top players in all of basketball, leading the league in scoring twice and a seven-time All-Star selection.
Although McGrady has posted some of the most impressive statistics of this era, McGrady will always be known for his inability to come up big when it mattered most. McGrady has made the playoffs seven times in his career, but has failed to make it out of the first round.
However, what makes McGrady so appealing to New York is his contract.
General manager Donnie Walsh has made no secret of his desire to clear cap room for the 2010 off-season in hopes of luring one or more of the top free agents in the 2010 class to New York.
Walsh will do anything to bring LeBron James and others to New York, even if it means sacrificing wins.
Although McGrady makes a league high $23 million, his contract expires at the end of the season, making him all the more appealing to New York.
Walsh believes he can clear cap space by getting rid of Harrington and others and at the same time, improve the current Knicks team.
Head coach Mike D'Antoni recently said that the Knicks have "lost their fight," and it is hard to argue with him.
The Knicks have lost their last three and 12 of their last 16. New York is currently 19-32 and have dropped six games behind the eighth and final playoff spot in the East, currently held by Chicago.
It also appears as though D'Antoni has lost control of his team. Recently Nate Robinson was seeing cursing him out in a game against Sacramento. D'Antoni previously benched Robinson for 14 straight games in December and has had spats with Eddy Curry and Larry Hughes, two of the players who have been linked to McGrady in trade talks.
While the Knicks would benefit from a much needed trade to salvage a season that looks to be slipping away, Tracy McGrady would provide little more to Knicks than an expiring contract. But that may be just what the Knicks are looking for.

A Wanganui teenager, who can't afford a $2500 vet bill, says
he will go to jail rather than give up his injured dog.
Bronson Stewart, 18, has kidnapped Buck, a five-month-old
pup, who was hit by a speeding car two weeks ago from the vet
clinic where he was taken with a seriously broken back leg.
The Wanganui Chronicle reported that Bronson Stewart said the
vet had told him and his father Kevin that Buck's leg could
be saved by having it pinned back together at a cost of
$2500, or the leg could be amputated for $800.
But the two beneficiaries are not able to come up with that
sort of money.
The best they could do was offer the vet $5 a week, which was
declined. The vet also refused to return the pup because the
little dog was in pain, Bronson said.
He said that when the vet realised the Stewarts could not pay
he told them Buck would be put down yesterday.
But Bronson was not giving up so easily.
"I just knew I had to get my dog back. He's like my brother.
I need to have him. They can't just kill him because I
haven't got any money," Bronson said.
While his father sat vigil every morning out on the roadside
with placards asking for the public's help, Bronson went to
the veterinary clinic last Friday and asked if he could see
Buck for a little while.
"They were really nice and let me go out to the cages to see
him. So I opened his cage, pulled Buck out, and ran as fast
as I could out of the vets and down the road. I think one of
them chased me for a while, and I carried Buck home."
Yesterday an SPCA inspector arrived on the doorstep, he said.
A written SPCA report headed To Prevent or Mitigate Suffering
says: "Black and white dog has dislocated and fractured right
hind leg as per vet report. Dog must have immediate
veterinary treatment or must be euthanased. If you don't
comply you may face prosecution."
But Bronson won't give up the fight.
"I'll just be prosecuted, then. I'll go to jail if I have to.
I don't want Buck killed. He's a really nice dog and I love
him like a brother."
Kevin Stewart invited all animal-loving citizens of Wanganui
to help him with my son's plight.
"This puppy is not in any pain to need any drugs at present
while we try to raise the $800 for his amputation or the
$2500 to pin his leg back together as suggested by the
capitalist [vet] and the SPCA."

Bob Hunter commentary: Jackets need Carter to get onboard | The Columbus Dispatch
There are 10 comments on the Columbus Dispatch story from Jun 27, 2011, titled Bob Hunter commentary: Jackets need Carter to get onboard | The Columbus Dispatch. In it, Columbus Dispatch reports that:More than one fan at the Blue Jackets draft party on Friday night used a profanity when asked about the team's trade for Philadelphia Flyers center Jeff Carter.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at Columbus Dispatch.
United States
#1 Jun 27, 2011
I think Carter will adjust once he's here. To be told by the GM that he would spend the rest of his career in Philly (to be told a WEEK before he was drafter, no less), to negotiate a long-term contract on that faith, and then to have the management trade him *anyway* is going to leave a really bad taste in his mouth. And I don't blame him. But I don't think he's going to want traded back to Philly (especially not after what they've done here), and instead will put his focus on making his mark here in Columbus.
#2 Jun 27, 2011
To me Scott(Howson) can make all the denials he wants I will not believe the him.
#3 Jun 27, 2011
I think the CBJ should through a big party for him. Perhaps if the fans show how much we are looking forward to him joining the team and community, it will have a positive impact.
Wecome to Columbus.
#4 Jun 27, 2011
Give him time. He will come around and enjoy Columbus and the team here. Now it is up to Howson to continue to add for next season and build for the future to make this a wanted place to play.
#5 Jun 27, 2011
The concern is a valid one, but "petulance?" "Act like a grown-up??" Maybe we should give him a few days to digest what he probably sees as a disloyal move by a franchise that told him he wasn't going anywhere. How would you like to wake up and find that you've been sent to work at the Steubenville Herald Star?
Let's assume the worst and say he doesn't want to be here. Is he supposed to feel better after reading that he should act like a grown up and stop being petulant or might it make him dread things even more?

I agree, be a man, take 5 minutes and call the CBJ or a Columbus reporter and say you want to be here and will do whatever it takes to help the team win...... done..... then go back to feeling sorry for yourself. So what, it's over in Philly, they did not want you, move on. Look forward, don't look back. His agent should be telling him that too.
#7 Jun 27, 2011
I have a bad feeling about the non communication. Does this mean he is trying to find a way out of this town, already? He is not winning any fans over with this behavior. I, for one, expect him to not play with enthusiasm or not play in Columbus at all.

Give the guy a break.....it's like breaking up a relationship. She's dumps you.....mourn it for 72 hours, have a few beers with your friends....they'll tell you she wasn't worth it.
Then move on.
Hey???? What's wrong with The Steubenville Herald Star? There are a lot of similarities to The Dispatch....If it wasn't for Big Red, CCHS, and Indian Creek football there would be no newspaper.....if it wasn't for Buckeye football, there would be no Dispatch.

He did say he would issue a statement after the weekend. Making a mountain out of a mole hill. Better to have a player mull over this and come out a few days later and issue a well thought out statement, rather than a fake "am so happy to be here" two minutes after being traded.
#10 Jun 27, 2011
Apparently, the GM told him to his face, that the Flyers had no intention of trading him just days prior to it happening. I'd be kinda mad too.

People with Goldmann-Favre syndrome are born with an overabundance of blue cones, a reduced number of red and green cones, and few, if any, functional rods.[1] As a result they experience an increased sensitivity to blue light, varying degrees of red and green cone vision, night blindness occurring from early life, vision loss, and retinal degeneration.[2] Goldmann-Favre syndrome can be caused by mutations in the NR2E3 gene and is inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion.[2]Treatment may include laser photocoagulation and medication, such as acetazolamide, dorzolamide and cyclosporin A.[3][4]Goldmann-Favre syndrome, also known as the severe form of enhanced S-cone syndrome, is a inherited eye disease that affects the light-sensitive part of the eye (

Chonda Pierce, the "Queen of Clean," may keep audiences rolling with giggles, but the past few years haven't been any laughing matter for the comedian.
After a bout with depression and a two-year break from the stage, Pierce has reemerged and continues to use life, trials and changes to get her laughs.
"People always ask me if my kids mind that I use them as material, but I told them that the kids like to eat so they don't mind if I use them," Pierce said.
Pierce will make an appearance in Amarillo at 7 p.m. on Friday at The Church at Quail Creek. Tickets are $17.50 in advance and $20.50 at the door.
And pretty much anything in her life is up for use as material. Everything from menopause to house cleaning to even her dark days of depression have been used in her act.
And stand-up isn't the only way she's tickling the public's funny bone. She's also written a book that, while funny, also deals with her depression and the stigma she discovered existed within the church.
"I didn't realize before I started talking about it that there was such a stigma," she said. "But I found out that there were certain things that people just didn't talk about in church. The church didn't really seem to know what to do about depression."
Now that she is back on the road, Pierce makes it home for the weekends to spend as much time as possible with her family.
"I've been touring so long that we don't know any other kind of life than with me gone some of the time," Pierce said.
The jokester's latest show, "A Piece of My Mind," continues her tradition of real-life humor.
"I'm a comedian for heaven's sake - I make a living laughing - not crying.
"But like always, my comedy comes from exactly where I am and right now. I am living more and more by faith. Real faith. Besides, menopause will give you plenty of material! You think you're losing your mind, so that theme became the title, 'A Piece of My Mind.' Don't worry, there are plenty of pieces to go around," Pierce said.
Pierce has previously released five gold-certified videos, eight books and has appeared on many television shows.

Natto, or fermented soybeans, are everywhere in Japan. There are natto burgers, natto bruschetta made with heaps of natto mixed with melted cheese or tomatoes on toasted bread, and even natto curries and sushi. But the most common way Japanese people eat natto is for breakfast over steamed rice with condiments, such as pickled fruits and vegetables. To me, one of the most interesting things about Japan's beloved, traditional natto is that there is nothing uniquely Japanese about it. . . [MORE HERE from Zester Daily]
Weird Food
Salted Eggs Revealed
Its been a few months since I put up my salted eggs, and over the holidays I noticed that the water they were in had turned a rusty brown from the spices used in preservation. This meant that it was time to harvest them.
I carefully removed a few raw (but preserved) eggs from the jar. A gentle shake of the egg allowed me to feel the hardened yolk inside the shell, but just to be sure they were done, I broke it over a bowl and watched the solid, dark orange yolk spill out of the shell. A lovely site for anyone into preserving and fermenting foods!
There are many ways to enjoy salted eggs, but an omelette of mixed eggs is a great way, and one of my favorites. I hardcooked a couple of salted eggs by cooking them for 3 minutes in rapidly boiling water, and set them aside until they were cool enough to handle. Then I peeled the eggs, and chopped them for inclusion in the omelette.
I beat a few, "regular," eggs, diced some spring onions, and ground a dash of white pepper. Combine the salted and the unsalted eggs and stir to mix. Now, salted eggs are salty. No strike that, they are EXTREMELY salty, so I recommend using one or two salted eggs per 3-4 regular eggs per omelette. A higher ratio of salted egg to unsalted egg, and the resulting dish may be to salty to enjoy.
On the subject of salt, some recipes flavor salted eggs with copious amounts of soy sauce. I recommend caution on this because of the saltiness of the eggs. One option is to serve a bit of soy sauce in dipping bowls as part of the meal so diners can dip a bit of omelette into the soy sauce or sprinkle a bit over their portion. Other ways to introduce flavor is to add a bit of minced shrimp or other shellfish, some minced and pickled mustard greens for a bit of pucker, or some fresh or dried ginger for a bit of sweetness. Be creative – think outside the salt box on this one – you'll be happier if you do.
Just heat a tablespoon or two of sweet butter in a pan and saute the spring onions and any other ingredients you wish to add over medium heat until they are mostly cooked. Add the eggs and the white pepper and stir quickly with a fork to evenly distribute the salted egg pieces and pepper. Cook as usual and, if desired, finish under a preheated broiler. When done, loosen the omelette from the sides and bottom of the pan and invert onto a serving plate. Serve with condiments: minced spring onions, minced pickled mustard or ginger, soy sauce, or even lavender flowers. It is especially good when served with a selection of steamed Chinese sausage. If you have a larger group to feed, you can make this dish along with the Eggs with Shrimp and Pidan for some variety of egg dishes at the meal.
Salted eggs in one form or another are eaten all over eastern and southeastern Asia, from China and Vietnam to the Philippines in the east and Sri Lanka in the west. (Geographically, Sri Lanka is part of south Asia, but so much of its food culture is influenced by southeast asian cuisines that I'm including it in this list.) The process to make them in the Philippines is a bit different and is more like the pidan-making process than the Chinese method of preserving eggs in salt. In the Philippines, they mix salt with a thick, clay-based mud and coat the eggs with it to salt-cure them. Other ways of salting eggs that are sometimes confused with this type of salt-preserved egg are eggs marinated in soy mixtures that make the egg taste salty, but do not preserve them.

Garum – Its not as Roman as You Think!
I had the pleasure recently to be a guest on Eat This Podcast with Jeremy Cherfas. On the show, Jeremy and I spoke about the fish sauce garum, how to make it, its origins (not Roman), and its many uses in cooking and as a table condiment. I hope you enjoy the show and consider making some garum for yourself! I also hope that you continue to listen to Eat This Podcast Its a great source of eclectic information about food and cuisines. Jeremy writes:
Garum is one of those ancient foods that everyone seems to have heard of. It is usually described as "fermented fish guts," or something equally unappealing, and people often call it the Roman ketchup, because they used it so liberally on so many things. Fermented fish guts is indeed accurate, though calculated to distance ourselves from it. And garum is just one form of fermented fish; there's also liquamen, muria. allec and haimation. All this I learned from Laura Kelley, author of The Silk Road Gourmet. Unlike most of the people who opine on garum, and who offer recipes for quick garum, she painstakingly created the real deal. She is also convinced that it isn't really Roman in origin. We only think of it that way because history is written by the victors not the vanquished. And then there's the whole question of the Asian fish sauces, Vietnamese nước mắm and the rest of them. Independent discovery, or copied from the Romans?
Other interviews I've done are available on the sidebar MP3 Player as well.
Thai Pork with 1000-Year Eggs
This next to last recipe for 1000-Year Eggs might be my favorite way to prepare them. It is savory, spicy, and hot, and the Thai basil lends a wonderful lightness to both the pork and the eggs for a winning dish. This recipe also lightly fries half of the Thai basil for a delicious, crunchy herbal topping that one encounters in lots of dishes from Thai street-food vendors.
The dish really is delicious! I urge you, however, to be mindful of the number of chili peppers used, because they can quickly overpower the other flavors. I would say that 1 tablespoon makes it mildly to moderately spicy and two tablespoons make it moderately to very spicy. Three tablespoons would probably make this, "Real Thai," but although that may satisfy the macho or macha in you, it will be too hot for most. I also made the second tablespoons of soy sauce optional, because salt can also overpower the other flavors in the dish.
I hope you enjoy it! Since the moment I first made it, my husband has been asking for it again and again, and was telling some friends about it on the 4th. It's that good!
Thai Pork with 1000-Year Eggs
4 century eggs
¼- ½ cup flour for coating eggs
1 large handful of fresh Thai basil leaves, split into two parts
½ cup corn or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon each of dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce and palm or cane sugar
1 medium-large yellow onion, peeled and sliced
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
1-2 tablespoons Thai red chilies, minced
¼ cup pork or beef stock
0.75 – 1 pound of minced pork
1 tablespoon light soy sauce (optional)
1 cucumber, sliced for garnish (optional)
Peel the 1000-Year Eggs and cut into quarters. Roll or dust the quartered eggs in flour and set aside.
If you have a mortar large enough to hold the chilies and garlic, grind briefly before using. Combine the dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce and palm or cane sugar in a small bowl and mix well.
Heat oil in a wok and when just starting to smoke, lightly fry half of the basil leaves until crispy – about 1 minute. Remove from the wok with a slotted spoon or a long-handled Asian cooking sieve. Drain basil on paper towels. Place flour-coated eggs into the hot oil and cook, turning them gently to ensure that all sides of the eggs are cooking. When eggs are a light brown, remove them and drain on paper towels.
Discard all but a few tablespoons of oil. If however oil has become scorched, it's fine to clean the wok and fill it with a couple of tablespoons of new oil. It's also fine to add a tablespoon of sesame oil for flavor if desired.
When the oil is hot in the wok, add the sliced onion and stir fry for 2-3 minutes until the onion begins to color. Then add the garlic and stir fry for another minute before adding the chili peppers and frying for another 1-2 minutes. Add the minced pork and stir until well combined with the other ingredients. Pour the stock and mixed sauce over all and stir well. Cook for 2-3 minutes and add the uncooked portion of the Thai basil and stir into the mix. Cook another 2-3 minutes and add the 1000-Year Eggs and fold them into the dish. Cook another 1-2 minutes to warm the eggs and turn out onto a serving platter.
Top with fried Thai basil leaves. If desired add some sliced cucumbers around the edge of the platter, or serve separately. Enjoy!
Homemade 1000-Year Eggs Unveiled
We harvested the 1000-year eggs and are finally getting around to preparing and eating some of the crop. The color is right, and a few of them have the pine-patterning that their CHinese name suggests on their dark, amber-colored flesh. They taste good, but are MUCH milder than some of the Pidan I've had in China. They are also missing the strong ammonia-like scent that accompanies some commercial century eggs I've had.
For those of you who are just tuning in to this culinary adventure of mine, check out this post to see how the eggs were transformed. This is how they looked the morning I harvested them:
They didn't look particularly appetizing at this stage. But swim on, I told myself, the results will be worth it. I cleaned them using a bit of water and some elbow grease, but I had to be very gentle so as to not crack the shells. The shells are rather delicate by the end of the process, because they have been permeated by the chemical brew of tea, salt, ash and lime.
Some of the shells had a bluish tinge to them and some of them were a mottled off-white as shown above. When the first crack revealed a solid amber flesh, I was overjoyed! All of the eggs were transformed, but some were a bit runny in their forest-green centers. After cleaning, I let them dry completely and then placed them in the refrigerator until I could prepare them. I was very pleased with the results:
This is one of the most common ways to serve them – simply as a snack, or appetizer, or part of a large collection of dishes that might also include pickled diakon radish and pickled carrots, some sliced abalone or some and barbequed pork. The presentation pictured here is most like the Cantonese way of eating the eggs – simply wrapped in slices of pickled ginger. Elsewhere around China and Taiwan people enjoy them with tofu or as a flavoring to omelets made with fresh eggs.
My eggs were creamy but still a bit sharp, sort of like the sharpness of a very pungent cheese. So don't blindly believe all of the macho videos out there that show nervous boys choking them down. The flavor is strong, but enjoyable. In the preparation I made, the ginger works nicely to modulate the flavor of the eggs, and the soy dipping sauce is completely optional in my personal opinion.
Other ways to prepare them that I am set to explore soon include using them to flavor a congee (rice porridge) along with bits of pork (皮蛋瘦肉粥), and perhaps one of the recipes with chilled tofu – so stay tuned for more 1000-year eggs. (All words and photos by Laura Kelley.)
Making 1000 Year Eggs
So, as promised, I spent several hours yesterday making 1000 Year Eggs. That is, I coated a dozen and a half duck eggs with caustic mud, rolled and pressed them in rice chaff, and set them aside to dry. Later I placed them in a soil-lined ceramic crock and will let them sit for three to three-and-a-half months, before checking to see if I did it right. I'm sure if they start to rot instead of chemically change, we will be aware of it.
To start off, the eggs in the mud looked like this:
Then one thoroughly (and evenly) coats them with the mud:
And lastly, after they are covered with rice chaff, they look like this:
And now we wait. . . three whole months for the chemical conversions to take place inside the egg. After the ingredients to make pidan are mixed, the following chemical reactions take place:
CaO + H2O -> Ca(OH)2
Ca(OH)2 + Na2CO3 -> 2NaOH + CaCO3
Na2O3 + H2O -> 2NaOH + O2
*The Na2O3 and K2O are from the plant ash
Because of the porosity of the egg shell, NaOH is first adsorbed to the surface, and, owing to a change in the osmotic pressure, NaOH enters the egg through the pores and subsequently penetrates the semi-permeable membrane, coming into contact with the egg protein, causing it to become denaturized and hydrolysed into polypeptides and finally into amino acids.
The result is that 1000 Year Eggs are much higher in protein and much lower in carbohydrates than unpreserved duck eggs. Other nutritional elements such as amino acids and fatty acids are about equal between the two egg forms, although the preserved egg generally has a bit less of everything in it.
The recipe follows:
1000 Year Eggs
3 – 4 cups black tea brewed very strong + strained tea leaves
2/3 cup sea salt
3 cups wood ash
3 cups charcoal ash
1 ¾ cups quicklime
18 fresh duck eggs
2-3 pounds rice chaff
Latex gloves
I procured all of the ingredients from internet retailers except the wood and charcoal ash which our neighbors were generous enough to donate to the project in exchange for a chance to taste the bounty of the experiment. We also had the sea salt and tea on hand.
- Brew the tea. I used at least a cup of loose tea leaves for 8 cups of water (I did say strongly brewed, right?) Let the tea sit for at least an hour to get really strong. In the meantime, find a large, non-reactive vessel (like a plastic painter's bucket or other very large and deep bowl) and put the salt, ashed and quicklime into the bowl. When the tea is done, add about 3 cups and stir well. Then strain the tea, preserving both the liquid and the solids and add the spent tea leaves to the mud mixture. If necessary, add more brewed tea until the mud is a thick, but not watery solution.
- Put on latex or other protective gloves. The mud is caustic and will cause skin discomfort.
- Place the first batch of eggs into the mud and coat them well. I let mine sit for about 15 minutes before moving on to the next step. Find a large, deep bowl and fill it with rice chaff. After the eggs have rested in the mud, take them up one at a time and make sure they are completely coated. I found that the mud was a bit sticky and almost serous and didn't want to adhere to the surface of the shell. When the coating is more or less uniform, place the egg in the chaff. Wipe excess mud off of your gloves by scraping on the edge of the vessel holding the mud. Then take handfulls of chaff and cover the egg with it completely. Pick up the egg and put chaff on the reverse side if needed. Then lightly compress the egg in your hand to try to get the chaff to bond with the mud. Remember the egg is raw and don't squeeze too hard. When the chaff fully coats the egg (add more chaff if necessary), set it on a plate and move onto the next egg.
When all of the intended eggs are coated with mud and chaff, clean up. I let my eggs sit overnight before burying them in soil and lime. I used soil from outside (not potting soil) to fill the crock to get some natural microorganisms in the mix. If you have a choice of soils around your yard, use one with a high clay content. Set crock in an out-of-the-way place outside and wait a few months. I placed my eggs in a decorative sort of crock and put the crock in the garden as an ornament. Water is crucial to the process and the crock needs to be open to the rain to get wet and dry in cycles.
The reaction that causes the preservation proceeds more rapidly in warmer weather than in colder weather, so I will be waiting the full 100 days before checking on the eggs. Then you can look forward to posts exploring the flavor of these, wonderful ancient delicacies. (Words and recipe by Laura Kelley; All Photos by Laura Kelley)
What Am I Making? #1: 1000 Year Eggs
The correct answer is indeed 1000 Year eggs! (Contest closed: January 26, 2013)
The ingredients listed from left to right are: Duck eggs, rice chaff (for coating the eggs), black tea, lime and ashes (a combination of wood ash and charcoal ash.)
For those of you not in the know, 1000 Year Eggs, or Century eggs are a Chinese delicacy, eaten all over the country, except perhaps in the western, Turkic parts of the country. (As least I have never encountered them in the west). They are made by coating the eggs with a mud-like mixture of the ingredients above, along with a large amount of salt and burying them or aging them in a crock with soil for several months. The coating with caustic mixture and sodium and aging makes the firm 'white' of the egg turn amber and gelatinous and the yolk a dark, sea-mud green as shown in the photograph.
An egg processed thus tastes nothing like an egg. It has a sharp, almost cheesy flavor and a strong almost ammonia-like odor. Despite the description they are quite tasty and are enjoyed en seul, or with a variety of vinegar-based dipping sauces, drizzled with sesame oil, served with pickled ginger and tofu, served with a stir-fry of pork and spring onions (along with tofu and other ingredients). 1000 Year eggs can also be cut up and added to almsot any dish. They are commonly added to savory congees and tofu dishes.
As soon as it warms up enough to spend an extended period outside, I'll be putting up a batch. I've got all the ingredients, its just a matter of letting the snow melt some. Of course, I'll photograph the production and the harvesting of the eggs – sort of like how I recorded the making of garum the traditional way.
Great answers, everyone! Thanks for guessing!
I will giveaway two books – why not, right? Ellen and Mike, please send me your postal addresses and I'll get your books in the mail ASAP!
On Earth, there is Donkey Meat
In Heaven there is Dragon Meat, and
On Earth there is Donkey Meat
That is the saying in Northwest China, in Gansu province and the bordering areas of Xinjiang, Qinghai, Ningxia and Inner Mongolia. Donkey is revered as the earthly equivalent to dragon meat, and it is widely sought after and enjoyed by many.
Donkey meat is also available in Beijing, Shanghai and most big cities in between, but Gansu is the epicenter of donkey cuisine and where the most delicious dishes can be found. I sampled several donkey dishes, but by far the most delicious was the Donkey with Yellow Noodles (lurou huangmian) had in Dunhuang and pictured here.
The meat is tender, sweet and delicious. It tastes nothing like pork or beef. For obvious reasons, it does taste a little like horse, only it is sweeter and more tender, and like horse and many hoofy game meats it is also low in fat and high in protein. In addition to tasting good and being a healthy meat, it is also, very inexpensive, which I am sure adds to its popularity. The strips of charchuterie donkey meat for dipping are a little plain, the sandwiches and burgers are too 'bready' and the starch interferes with the great flavor of the meat (I favor buffalo steaks over burgers any old day as well), but for this wandering girl, the donkey with yellow noodles was just right. Another thing I like about the dish, was that it was a very "Asian" way to enjoy the dish.
I haven't fully reconstructed this recipe yet, but my notebook reads: "Lots of sliced garlic, a bit of chopped ginger, spring onions and chilies are stir fried in sesame oil for a few minutes. Mixed vegetables (carrots, sweet red pepper, tomato) and mushrooms are added and sauteed until tender. Toss and add light soy and rice wine (Shaoxing) with a bit of cane or brown sugar and stir. Add tofu (if desired). Some mustard greens are added into the fray and then the precooked donkey slices. Cover and cook to warm. Drain noodles, toss with a light coating of sesame oil if desired. When greens are tender but still bright green and meat warm, remove wok from the heat and serve." In the restaurant, the noodles were tossed with the meat and vegetables before service and served with chilies marinated in oil and a strong, dark vinegar. Don't be afraid – its delicious!
Another way that I tried and really liked donkey was as donkey kebabs on the street. These are tiny little rib kebabs. Little mouthfuls of meat that are more like Yakitori than like a large Turkic-derived kebab. And the ones I had had been marinating in chilies and sugar and soy and had a light chili paste coating on them. This offset the usually sweet taste of donkey and made it sweet and spicy at the same time. Sort of a teryaki-like taste but hotter and richer – really good!
As evident in the opening saying, the donkey is revered in Chinese culture – and not only for their taste. The donkey is revered in poetry and painting as the animal that carries the wandering poet or artist on his journeys.
Caught In Drizzle At Sword Gate Pass
Lu You 1125-1210
Traveling clothes, dust caked, wine stained,
Journeying far, overwhelmed by grief.
In this life what am I?
only a poet
straddling a donkey
Entering Sword Gate in a drizzling rain.
These journeys are crucial to artist's ability to create because they provide him the experience of the world from which his art flows. Sometimes they carry the artist away from his worldly disappointments in the city and into the more spiritual realm of nature and art. In other world views, the donkey is one of Kali's mounts and in the Christian faith, guess who carried the holy family to Bethlehem and into Egypt? A beast of burden, yes. But also something much more. Something to think about if you venture east and try some donkey delicacies. (Words by Laura Kelley.

China: There and Back Again
We returned home from China a few days ago, my mind is still awash with all of the fantastic food I encountered on our combination family vacation and food research trip. We sampled a wide variety of food from fine restaurants in big cities serving national and regional specialties to street vendors dolling out snacks for a single yuan or two. We toured outdoor markets serving cooked food as well as huge, modern supermarkets where locals buy fresh produce and staples as well as fresh dumplings, rolls and breads. I even bought an armful of unusual, local snacks at the Xi'an Airport which included Yak Jerky and Dried Chicken Feet. In addition to sampling and enjoying food, I've brought back recipes and food ideas that I will have to reconstruct and share with you.
In Beijing and Shanghai, we sampled classic dishes such as Shark's Fin Soup, Bird's Nest Soup, Hong Kong Roast Goose, Deep-Fried Pigeon and Stir-Fried Abalone. We also enjoyed a modern take on Peking Duck, called BaYe Duck, that is prepared exclusively at Hua's Restaurant in Beijing. This last dish is interesting, because it is representative of a new, lighter Chinese cuisine called Beijing cuisine in which traditional dishes are prepared with modern health sensibilities in mind.
Xi'an was all about local food and drink for us. We sampled a variety of local "wine" which was really corn-based liquor (aka Chinese moonshine) flavored with pomegranates, saffron, ginseng and wolfberries and the strangest with starfish, sanddollars, a turtle and what might have been a lizard. The drinks flavored with pomegranates and saffron were good and had a great flavor, the other two just tasted sharp to me – not something I would reach for a second time unless they had fantastic health benefits attached to it. On the other hand, the tea we had in Xi'an – blooming jasmine, pu'er, and dragon-well tea were keepers that I brought home loose or pressed in decorative tea cakes
Other local food we had in Xi'an include hand-stretched noodles in a rich broth and thousand year eggs as part of an incredible buffet. We also had grilled mutton spiced with cumin, babaojing rice cakes flavored with jujube and jam, and persimmon cakes – all food that arose from the Shaanxi Muslim community.
Dumplings were everywhere – stuffed with pork, cabbage, fish, and combinations of meat and vegetables, and we enjoyed them with dipping sauces or sliced baby ginger and salted cucumber sticks. They also have marvelous "soup dumplings" that are served with straws for you to enjoy steaming hot soup before the cooked dumpling dough. These are made with a mixture of meat and aspic that then becomes "soup" when steamed. We trudged through the long queue in Shanghai's Yu Yuan Bazaar for an authentic soup dumpling from the source at the Nanxiang Bun Shop.
I'll be writing about these experiences and more over the next few weeks and I hope you tune in to enjoy the descriptions, cultural significance and when possible, recipes for some of the food we sampled. (Words and Photos by Laura Kelley).
Lady Lizards for Lunch
A news item caught my eye recently that blended two of my favorite subjects – cuisine and biology. Long story short is that a species of asexual lizard previously undocumented by scientists has been discovered in Southern Vietnam recently. Neat thing about the story is that the lizard was discovered in a restaurant – grilled and plated and ready to be consumed. Lizards for lunch.
A Vietnamese scientist stopped for a bite at a local eatery-pub in Southern Vietnam and noticed that the lizards on the plate were all female, which he thought a bit unusual. Not looking like other regional asexual species, he realized that he had potentially identified a species "new" to science and contacted colleagues at La Sierra University in the United States to help him confirm the find.
Well, sure enough. The Americans sweep in to check out the new lizards and lo and behold the restaurant has grilled up the last of the crop and there are no potential type specimens to inspect. Being resourceful, the scientists pay a bunch of kids to go catch some more of the ones usually served up at the restaurant. They hit paydirt when the kids came back with bunches of the critters – all female, all reproducing asexually, all identical genetically (with minor, standard variations due to replication error). A new species and an interesting one to boot.
All manner of lizards, insects and small mammals are on the menu in Southeastern and Eastern Asia, so it is no surprise that people are eating them. In fact, these new lizards (Leiolepis ngovantrii) are usually marinated and grilled with lemongrass after being prepped by boiling and soaking in banana leaves and are apparently quite tasty. The Thais forego the lemongrass and serve lizard on a heaping bed of their delicious basil.
Interesting thing is that the locals knew all about this "unknown" species and had been enjoying it for years. So, in addition to remote jungles and mountaintops, scientists should add "local pub" to the places where they can make great new discoveries. From experience, scientists have over the centuries made many great discoveries in pubs – but none before like this. (Words by Laura Kelley; Photos by Scientific Staff of La Sierra University. Read more about the discovery in Zootaxa 2433:47-61 (2010)).

Dad and the Great Big Bird
For me, writing through sorrow is difficult. With loss, especially the loss of my father, the wind seems to slip from my sails. All at once, I find I'm unsure about how to begin and overwhelmed by wanting to write the tribute of a lifetime. Both impulses tie my heart in knots, adding frustration to the pile of things I'm sorting through, including grief.

LOL. I like Da9n3lei;s suggestions on comments! Funny stuff.I just wanted to say RN programs (the 4 year degree programs for nurses) used to be heavily impacted to such a degree that people w/4.0 GPA's out of high school were being turned down for Nursing schools (e.g. Cal State University, Long Beach's Nursing school).

Kippers for breakfast
This is my favorite breakfast (besides the legendary Jamie Kitson fry up). Missing the HP sauce here, though it is still all good, especially if you have good kippers.
The boneless coloured kippers are inexpensive and very easy to quickly prepare. Two minutes in the microwave for this guy. Though I also like the boil in the bag variety, which takes a few minutes too.

Gorah Elephant Camp
Addo Elephant National Park
Discover a place and time in tune with the authentic African safari of centuries past. This is Gorah Elephant Camp, the first private lodge in the Addo Elephant National Park.
This exclusive lodge has been restored to its former 19th century colonial splendour, complete with period furnishings, and a beautiful roaring log fire in winter.
Coupled with the meticulous service and attention to detail, this really is sheer decadence and a holiday memory that will stay with you forever.
Morning and evening guided game drives on open Land Rovers take you unbelievably close to elephants, rhinos, and other giants of the African bush. Some of the drives will be on the lodge's own concession, where your guide will have the opportunity to drive offroad to get you unbelievably close to the wildlife, but others may be in the Addo Park itself, where your ranger will be restricted to remaining on the road network at all times.
In-between drives, guests can relax around the rock swimming pool and sun-drenched decks.
Whether marvelling at the herds of elephants gathering around the waterhole near the camp, or having a close encounter with them while out on a game drive, the Gorah experience is unforgettable.
Your accommodation is in spacious and luxurious tented suites, which are reminiscent of the golden era of safaris in the early 1900s, yet with all the comfort and excellence associated with Africa's finest game lodges.
Sumptuous breakfasts and superb lunches are both served in the elegant dining room, or on the veranda overlooking the waterhole.
Dinner is by candlelight, further complimenting the romantic atmosphere of the Lodge.

Guest Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 based on 6 ratings
Firstly let me say a big thank you to you for your help with our arrangements. Everything you suggested for us worked out so well and we had a holiday of a lifetime ! Gorah was a once in a lifetime experience The whole thing was just wonderful. The tents are so luxurious and the attention to detail on every front was simply unbeatable. Worth every penny! All the little touches made the guest feel very special indeed. The food was excellent. All the staff were just perfect. The safari drives were very informative and exciting with such well informed guides. It really was most memorable Well, there you are Tracey, I just wonder why it took us so long to visit South Africa! I suppose all the crime stats one reads can put people off, but we, in our mid 60's, drove over 1000 miles and never felt threatened It was a wonderful varied experience, and we cannot wait to go back! On the way we passed on the name of your company to quite a few people and shall certainly recommend you to anyone planning to go to S A.
All I can say is a big 'thank you' - the holiday was absolutely fantastic and we had a wonderful time. The accommodation was all excellent and the people we dealt with were very friendly and helpful. The absolute highlight would have to be Gorah ... it was an truly magical experience. The staff at Gorah were superb and the quality of the game drives was outstanding - very informative, the rangers were top class and the elephants are truly magnificent. I have always been a big cat person until those drives - I am now a convert!!! The route we followed took us through some amazing scenery and Cape Town is such a beautiful city - we will definitely be going back some time soon (Gorah included) and I will certainly use you guys again. So - thank you again for organising the accommodation and the car hire - it was a fantastic holiday and one we will remember for a long, long time.
All went very smoothly. Had an amazing time – really the holiday of a lifetime for us – so far at least. Sante Winelands Hotel is absolutely outstanding – they upgraded us to a "Manor Room" and it really is the most amazing location for relaxation, the Spa was fab. Hog Hollow in Plett was fantastic. Andy, the owner was extremely helpful, sent me to his brothers bar for the Ireland vs SA match etc! We had 5 great nights there and room was great (one of the 3 new cabins). We managed to do something different and great every day. Food is also very good there. Gorah was what you'd expect! It was the highlight of Catherine's trip as she loved the drives. Food was good, accommodation lovely – very worthwhile.

This is the best fragrance I've tried in years! Very sensual but not too heavy. It's feminine without being too "floral" and sexy without being overpowering. I really love it!
Finally a perfume I can wear! I have asthma, and cannot wear most perfumes, but I can use this one :)
I've never been big on "celebrity fragrances" but since I am a fragrance lover I tried this one on a whim and I must say it is a beautiful, light, floral fragrance. My husband and my son both said how good I smelled while wearing this fragrance. The only downside to it is it isn't long-lasting. I put in on this morning before going to work and before noon, the scent has almost completely vanished. If only it were an eau de parfum.
The fragrance is amazing! All the stores I went
in to purchase were sold out, so I had to purchase it on-line. The only problem I have is the size,
a bigger bottle would be great!!
This perfume smells really good. Its fresh and clean and little flowery but not over powering. The bottle is pretty and purple. I bought the mini one for my sister for Christmas (And she's picky) and she really liked it.
Smells great, not over powering, often when you turn a certain way you will catch the scent of it long after you have put it on and it smells devine! Makes you feel sexy/mysterious...what a combo...love it!
The only issue I have is the lid pops off when you try to put back on takes a few tries, nothing to do with the scent tho, so worth it.
My daughter received this as a gift. It has the softest and sweetest scent not overwhelming. Sexy,yet young. Not like flowers but not spicy either.
I love the smell and tease her every time she wears it that ..."Mommy's,going to sniff it all off of her so she can put it on again" It's a wonderful perfume for a young/teenager.
I tried this back around mother's day and feel in love with it! I don't like heavy scented frag. anyway and usually wear no perfume or just Pleasures but this one is a nice affordable perfume to wear daily. My boyfriend at the time adored it and the gentleman I am seeing now loves it as well!
I love this perfume! I was in Wal-Mart looking at lotion or something, and I walked past this and decided to smell it, and I'm so glad I did! This is my FAVORITE new smell and I've been wearing it a lot lately! Perfect! It's not overpowering yet smells very feminine.
Smells great. I keep hearing the questions, "who smells so good?". and i just smile cos i know it's me. Recommend it for every girls who likes to be noticed due to her smell. it's cheaper when bought from walmart. It also lasts all day long.
This perfume is in a gorgeous bottle and the contents on the inside truly match the outside. Its a very intoxicating smell, not overpowering or heavy, very light and sensual. I always get compliments when I wear it.
This perfume smells so wonderful. It reminds me of my Mom. My only surprise is that I didn't expect it to be as small as it was. I have found that I don't have to use too much to smell it all day long.
I bought this fragrance for my girlfriend and she loves it.
It's very nice, lasts for a while and she gets a lot of compliment from everyone!
She wears it every day, especially at night.
I bought this perfume for my daughter and she loves it. It has a light floral scent and is perfect for the younger girl looking for a touch of sophistication.
I bought this for my wife. She usually gets headaches from perfumes. It smells great and no headaches. Great price too.
This has a wonderful scent but a little to light, meaning I have a hard time smelling it after about 30 minutes.
Beautiful bottle and packaging buy smells like cheap perfume.
My girlfriend loves it and uses it almost every day.
Was really surprised it smells great very floral!
Soft scent. Very good

Julio Jones has impressed the Falcons' coaching staff in his first two weeks of practice. Jones, who was Atlanta's first-round draft pick out of Alabama, can't wait to get on the field and flash his skills in the Falcons' first preseason game tonight.
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) -- Julio Jones isn't interested in discussing his accomplishments. Bravado is not his style.
When the Atlanta Falcons (11-2) host the New York Giants (8-5) on Sunday, Jones could move into a bigger role and become quarterback Matt Ryan's top target.
Roddy White, the team's leading receiver, has a sore right knee and did not practice this week.
If Jones becomes Ryan's primary option, the second-year wideout says he is prepared for the challenge. But don't expect Jones to pound his chest or do some fancy dance in the end zone.
Long before he became the NFL's sixth overall draft pick 20 months ago out of Alabama, Jones preferred a lower profile, saying "I've been like this my whole life."

I see a lot more hospitals getting rid of their nurserys to keep the baby in the room with mom. Am I the only one who thinks the baby should go to the nursery every once in while.Ā I may need sleep. Those 2 days will be the only time I will have someone watch the baby like that, well the hubby will help when I get home, but not like the nurses.
