Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz
Interview By Soren Baker
From Murder Dog Vol. 9# 4
When you heard Mary J. Blige saying "Crunk," what was your reaction?
Lil Jon: It made us feel like we came a long way from "Who U With," when people used to be like, "What the fuck does crunk mean? What the fuck is that? What the fuck is crunk?"
Big Sam: Everywhere we went, we got that question, "What is crunk?"
Lil Jon: When we first started out, the "Who U With" days, to go from that to now Mary J. Blige saying, "Let's get it crunk," it made us feel like we accomplished something.
On the last album, you had M.O.P. How important has it been for you guys to get that respect in New York and to collaborate with people from New York?
Lil Jon: Initially, I'd say we weren't really trying to. We were just doing records. But then, it's like a New York cats like our shit and then we like a lot of New York rappers. We like M.O.P. and we wanted to do the song with M.O.P. because we felt we were kind of like on the same kind of wavelength, with the higher energy that they have on their records. They make the club get rowdy. That's why we wanted to do a record with them.
Big Sam: We make records with people that we admire.
Lil Jon: What's crazy is that I used to be in New York a lot and a lot of the New York rappers would come up to me and tell me that they like our shit. By not even trying to appeal to people, by doing what we do, they had accepted us anyway. Even the song that we got with Jadakiss on the new album, it doesn't sound like we tried to make a New York track. We did what we do and Jada did what he do. What I like about the song is neither one of us is compromised. It don't sound like he's trying to be on a South beat, he's trying to be Southern. He's still Jadakiss, on our type of shit. To me, it just sounds like a hot beat. You can't say that's a Southern track. It sounds like he's rapping and that we're all just on a hot-ass track. By doing what we do, we have gained that respect, I guess, automatically because we just make hot club records and a lot of those cats come to the South, the Midwest, even D.C. and seen the reaction that people had to our records. You can't do nothing but respect that.
Does the industry respect the South more than it used to?
Lil Jon: Definitely. I remember years ago when we was bamma, we was country. Now, hard-core hip-hop groups, underground hip-hop cats are coming up to us like, "Yo, man, I love ya'll shit.' It's changed a whole lot.
A lot of rappers are always about, "Check out my lyrics. I'm deep." You are more about having fun. Why do you think you've be able to survive without being lyrically driven?
Lil Jon: We just make records for the clubs, that the DJ's love to play because we're going to get the club crunk. We just make records that make the club get hot, man. Being on the road this past year and being in New Orleans for the Super Bowl and seeing "Bia Bia" and "Put Yo Hood Up" turn the club out, being at the All-Star game and the parties there and "Bia Bia" being the hottest song of the weekend, it's like, "Wow."
What do you do when the crowd is small or isn't getting crunk right away?
Lil Jon: We just have fun. A lot of entertainers, they don't involve the crowd in their show. If it's 20 people in the club, we might get everybody in the club drunk. We going to just have fun and make them feel like they're part of the show because when they feel like they're part of the show, they feel like they're getting something and they have a good time. We've done shows where there's been 30 people and we had a ball. The people that were there went back and told their friends that they had an incredible time at the show. We have fun. We do what we can regardless of how big or small the crowd is to make sure the people say that we did what we're supposed to do.
Lil Jon, going from working A&R at SoSoDef, are there different things that you look for on songs than you did back then?
Lil Jon: It's basically the same process. When we're doing the records, we're not going to record the song unless we know we've got the hottest hook, the hottest verse and make sure that we pick the hottest track. Since we've done the last album, we've been all around the country and we've just got to step our game up and make everything a little hotter.
What type of interaction do you have with the artists on your records in the studio, being that you're a producer and a former A&R?
Lil Jon: I feed off of people. When we were in with Mystikal, we had never worked with him. He just laid his raps. We were all writing together and we finished the hook and laid it. Then, he just went in and laid his verse. If I hear some stuff that I don't like, or think that maybe they could do it better, I'll say, "Yo, man, can you go do that one more time?" I feed off of them and let them do what they do. Then, if I hear some stuff that bothers me, I ask people to change it. But when you're working with a Mystikal and a Krayzie Bone, people of that sort, they're professionals. These cats have like five or six albums, so it's not like working with a new rapper that don't necessarily know how to record. These cats is polished. They know what the hell they're doing. When we did the Jada song, he went in on his own, laid his rap and sent the shit to me. The technology advancement has made it easier to get a lot of shit done, too, with the Protools and all that shit.
You also did underground stuff with Power Houze and Mack 10's Da Hood project. For the smaller projects, how do you get to work with them?
Lil Jon: We look at ourselves that we're on the same level with everybody. Just because we sold 600,000 records don't mean that we're any better than this cat over here. He could be selling 600,000 records in a year. People that are cool with us, we're cool with them. We've never tried to be on no bougie shit, no assholes. Doing the record with Power Houze helped us out a lot in their area. We fuck with everybody. The only thing is when you get into doing all those guest appearances, your label starts tripping. That's the only reason we might not be doing records with some cats, because they can't even get the shit cleared. I fuck with anybody if I like their shit.
Atlanta had a lot of groups coming out at one point, but it seems to have hit a dry spell on the national level. What led to that?
Lil Jon: The labels were coming and selling a lot of stuff up and at the same time a lot of those projects weren't doing anything. That kind of messed up the game and they stopped focusing on Atlanta as much. But, there's still guys getting deals. Archie got the deal recently. They weren't promoting records right, some of the ones they picked up. They weren't taking time to revamp the records right. I think they were just buying them up and puttin' 'em out and they weren't really focusing on the projects.
Explain how an artist from Atlanta needs to be promoted in order to succeed?
Lil Jon: You've got to have the right marketing dollars involved, the right publicity campaign going, a good record and then you can't treat it like it's a regional thing. I think they treated that stuff as regional records. They didn't spend the money in the right areas on those projects.
Be specific. Give me an idea.
Lil Jon: They'll buy an artist, get some BET ads and put an ad in a magazine and that's it. They don't stick with the projects. That's another thing. If the first single don't do good, they drop 'em. You've got to keep working the record. It took Nelly six months to get that fucking first single popping for real. They worked that song for a long time. A lot of the Atlanta groups, if that shit don't hit nationally right out the box, they're going to put 'em on the side, the backburner.
But, even though Atlanta hasn't been as hot lately, it isn't like New Orleans where it kind of burned out. Why do you think there is always new talent coming from there, when a lot of other big cities don't come with much?
Lil Jon: Maybe because Atlanta's such a big melting pot. You've got so many different people from so many different areas here. You've got so many different artists that come here just to go to the studio and work. You've got so many big events that happen here. The records that come out of here are exposed to a lot of people that just come in town for the weekend for this or that. That helps to spread the records out. Atlanta artists, we make records straight for the clubs. If your record ain't hitting in the club, then these muthafuckas ain't gonna buy your shit. You got niggaz that got hot club records that aren't even on the radio that's selling a lot of records in Atlanta. Eventually, those records translate to the radio, but that's the main thing about the Atlanta music scene: we make records for the clubs, that will get the clubs cracking. If it ain't getting the clubs crackin', then they ain't buying it. That's how we look at putting the records together.
Why do you always wear glasses?
Lil Jon: That's part of my vernacular, baby. Yeah. That's part of me. Puffy wear his glasses.
Sam and Bo, what do you do on stage to make it crunk?
Bo: We do our thang, man. Slang water, do whatever it takes.
Lil Jon: When we're on stage, we back each other up. I might lead a lot of times, but we all back each other up. Since we're all doing our vocals on the song at the same time, Sam might be the lead person for a second and then I back him up, or Bo might jump in. We support each other like the Three Musketeers.
When you get on stage do you just go crazy, or is there a little routine now?
Lil Jon: It depends on how much tequila we're drinking.
Sam: With me, it depends on how I'm feeling. One night, I might go out there and do The Worm across the stage or something.
Lil Jon: We really feed off the crowd. The crowd gives us energy. There's been times where we're all tired, we've dead. We get to the show and we're sitting back stage, but right before we get on, the people start screaming and we get energized and go into a zone, just wild out for an hour and give them a great show.
Was there a city that surprised you about how excited they were to see you?
Lil Jon: D.C. was a big surprise. We did D.C. and packed the club out. Those muthafuckas were tearing that bitch up, fighting and everything. They showed us a lot of love in D.C. and in Richmond, Virginia. Even New York, when we performed at Flex's club Speed, we were surprised. Man, we started out doing "Who U With" getting in a van going to do shows. Now we're in New York with Funkmaster Flex, and these muthafuckas know the record.
What makes you such a national act, if you don't have the visibility of someone like a Ja Rule?
Lil Jon: We keep the club rowdy. You can't deny the energy of the records. No matter where we go, we get the same reaction. We make people just want to wild out and have a good time. That's why the records play in all the different areas.
What other projects do you have coming up?
Lil Jon: We have a porno called Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz Sex Tour. We're getting ready to start filming on that. We've got a Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz clothing company. I did four tracks on Pastor Troy's album. I've been producing a lot. I just did a song for Killer Mike. I'm probably going to do some UGK.
Sam: I've just been smoking lately—and eating. I do get my drink on.
Lil Jon: We're on Snoop's album. I did 54th Platoon, E-40, Mack 10, "Welcome To Atlanta" remixes, Krayzie Bone. We're just trying to stay busy. We're going to be on tour with Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and 8Ball & MJG.
But what's up with the porno?
Sam: A lot of fuckin' and sucking.
Lil Jon: A lot of skeetin'.
Is it going to be a real porno?
Lil Jon: Your boy Snoop done paved the way for everybody so we've got to do our shit.
Sam: You can take this and fuck around and get some head before you even get home if you play it in the car.
Lil Jon: We're going to have the first crunk porno.

Eudyptes chrysocome
The aptly named Rockhopper penguins hop with extraordinary agility
to get around the steep, rocky islands where they live and breed.
Size 18 inches tall and weighs 5 to 10 pounds
Diet Krill, squid and small fish
Lifespan Average of 10 years, but up to 30 years
Range Rugged islands around the sub-Antarctic
Habitat Breed on rugged, rocky islands located in the
sub-Antarctic and south temperate regions of the Indian
and South Atlantic Oceans
Predators Natural predators include blue sharks, leopard seals and sea lions;
skuas, giant petrels, gulls and birds of prey are predators of eggs and chicks.
Southern rockhopper penguins also face introduced predators such as cats,
rats and pigs
Relatives There are 18 penguin species. Southern rockhopper penguins are
the only species that will dive into the ocean feet first rather than head first.
Family life Rockhoppers return to the same breeding site each year and
even use the same nest when possible. They are known to breed in colonies
of up to 100,000 birds! The breeding season begins in October. Females lay two
eggs in November. After around 33 days of incubation the chicks hatch. Chicks are
not born with the yellow crests on their heads.
Conservation status Vulnerable Pollution, climate change, overfishing and shifts in fish populations are taking food sources away from southern rockhopper penguins. Their cousins, northern rockhopper penguins, are classified as Endangered, which is a higher risk of extinction, because they face similar food shortages in addition to introduced predators such as rats on their breeding islands.
Penguins and climate change Rockhopper penguins have been disappearing from the southern oceans and over the past three to four decades their numbers have dropped dramatically. The northern rockhopper penguin has declined by 57 percent and southern rockhopper penguin by 34 percent. Scientists surmise that climate change and the associated warming of the ocean surrounding their habitats may have caused these large population declines. Read more ...

A woman fighting to keep her comatose son on life support has been charged in the beating that left the boy hospitalized.
A grand jury in Warren County charged 21-year-old Dreva Kirkwood of Bowling Green with first-degree criminal abuse, first-degree assault by complicity and first-degree wanton endangerment.
Kirkwood's son, 3-year-old Daniel Kirkwood was hospitalized in Bowling Green in February and later transferred to Nashville, where according to court records, he is being kept alive with a ventilator. Police say Daniel Kirkwood had a head injury, along with bruises and belt marks all over his body.
Dreva Kirkwood's boyfriend, 24-year-old Leroy Jermaine Sturdivant has been charged with beating.
Dreva Kirkwood has been fighting a legal battle to keep the state from removing her son's ventilator. The Kentucky Court of Appeals stopped the state from removing the ventilator and sent the case back to Warren County for reconsideration.

Yes I'd wait until April 10th. I took two early tests (the first at 6 days before my expected period and one at 3 days before my expected period and both were negative.) I even used the early result tests. This happened to a friend too. Those tests aren't fully reliable until the first day of your expected period. You can often get false negatives, but rarely get false positives.posted 04/05/2011 by bessmcc
sorry, my LAST period was march 14 so my period is due april 10th..i tested again this morning and it was negitive. im going to wait until monday to test again. we'll see what happens!posted 04/05/2011 by a BabyCenter Member

There are various ways to express people's admiration for their idol figures. I Wayan Redika, for instance, an artist from Ababi, Karangasem gives special meaning to figures of his idol through creative arts. He makes a painting of the figures ranging from those of local, national to international figure.
"I want to give the awareness that in this world there are people who have superiority in their own field. In my opinion, the figure has ideals for the nation. It is the important side from the figure, but now it has begun to disappear," said Redika when met in his studio at Penatih, Denpasar, recently.
Within the past two months, this father of single child already had 25 works immortalizing 40 figures of the world. Some were under progress, while the others remained in sketches. "These paintings are ready to be exhibited," said Redika who scheduled to hold a solo exhibition in February 2013 at Bentara Budaya Bali.
In the exhibition highlighting the theme Exceptional Person he immortalized the scarcity of paragon at this time. "I paint the portrait of prominent figures that are inseparable from the phenomenon of civilization happening today. People no longer consider them exceptional in terms of persona in ancient times that has given a fundamental change in the civilization today," he said. According to him, many figures influenced the world. An example through invention could inspire the existing generation either in the field of culture, the art up to politics. (image/bud)

Our signature 60 Max Power O Videostat Profile segment covers select players from around the country for the upcoming 2012 NFL Draft starting on April 26th. We aim to cram as much as these in before the picks start rolling in. We kick it off with the inevitable number one pick, Stanford's Andrew Luck:
Andrew Luck has been locked in as the No. 1 pick in the 2012 NFL Draft for well over two years. He decided to return for his senior season, which is usually a kiss of death for holding that number one spot, but his ability to deliver the football quickly and make good decisions with good velocity is as good as they come. His trademark accuracy on his throws has made him ready to start in the NFL. He's completed 70.3 percent of his passes and he can make all the throws in the playbook. Luck's compact delivery will need no tweaking and his internal clock gets the ball out on time.
Luck occasionally will try to drop the football in, particularly on intermediate and deep routes. He will occasionally force throws in tight coverage and gets in trouble throwing the lazy pass to the flat that can be read by a defender and intercepted. In the end, Luck is the top QB prospect in the 2012 draft and easily the big fish prospect of this class.

On August 3 Thomas E. Levy, MD, JD wrote an article in NaturalHealth365 entitled Surprising solution for Ebola virus. In it he states, "Whether the infectious disease branch of modern medicine is truly unaware or just does not want to admit they are completely wrong on how to cure a viral syndrome remains a debatable point. Certainly, their "find a vaccine for everything" approach to viruses is not the answer." The Ebola virus disease, as is the case with viral hemorrhagic disease in general, resembles features of acute scurvy. Vitamin C is well known to have a broad range of benefits, including immune-boosting and antiviral properties, with an incredibly high safety margin.
Thomas E. Levy, has been a practicing physician for 25 years, is a board-certified internist and a fellow of the American College of Cardiology. Dr. Levy is also an attorney. And if that isn't enough, he's also a very fine writer. He has a new book, Vitamin C, Infectious Diseases, and Toxins: Curing the Incurable in which he boldly uses the word "cure." Dr. Levy believes that, "Unquestioning faith in the 'established' medical knowledge is so deeply ingrained that many doctors simply will not even consider reading something that comes from sources that they do not consider worthy of producing new medical concepts. And if they do…they quickly dismiss it as just being ridiculous if it conflicts with too many of the concepts that most of their colleagues and textbooks embrace."
Hollywood has contributed its own version of hysteria in both TV and movies with the many stories of killer epidemics that are somehow eradicated just in the nick of time to assure the happily-ever-after ending. Government health organizations are just as bad. They love scaring the pubic with doomsday reports. WHO chief Margaret Chan said the Ebola epidemic is out of control. "The virus attacks the body's soft tissues — a process some doctors describe, bluntly, as like watching a patient 'dissolve," Tribune correspondent Paul Salopek reported during a 2000 outbreak, "There is no cure. No effective treatment. No vaccine. The rest of the world, a plane ride or two away, shudders. As with previous outbreaks, the virus shows no mercy. Ebola kills up to 90 percent of its victims with astonishing swiftness." Sound familiar?
In spite of what you've heard, the Ebola virus can be destroyed naturally. According to Dr. Levy, "To date, not a single virus has been tested that is not inactivated (killed) by a large enough dose of vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Vitamin C is both very potent and optimally bioavailable in accessing any viral infection." He also states, "The effects of vitamin C in "mopping up" after it inflicts its viral damage are further supported by its potent and multifaceted support of the immune system. There is no other substance that singularly does as much to promote increased and strong immune function as vitamin C. Among many other effects, vitamin C directly stimulates interferon and antibody production, while effectively supercharging the functions of the white blood cells by becoming very concentrated inside those cells."
Dr. Levy is not alone in his belief in the curative abilities of Vitamin C. The first physician to aggressively use vitamin C to cure diseases was Frederick R. Klenner, M.D. Beginning back in the early 1940's, Dr. Klenner consistently cured chicken pox, measles, mumps, tetanus and polio with huge doses of vitamin C. You would think it would difficult to ignore such success, but it has been done. Dr. Klenner wrote: "Some physicians would stand by and see their patient die rather than use ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) because in their finite minds it exists only as a vitamin."
According to the late Dr Robert Cathcart, MD, who had extensive experience treating deadly infections with high dose vitamin C, "The Ebola virus kills by way of free radicals which can be neutralized by massive doses of sodium ascorbate intravenously." Dr. Cathcart successfully treated over 20,000 patients with very large doses of vitamin C, sometimes administering over 150,000 mg per day.
Dr. Ronald Hunninghake is an internationally recognized expert on vitamin C who has personally supervised more than 60,000 intravenous (IV) vitamin C administrations. When asked why conventional medicine has not caught on to vitamin C he states, "I'm sure there are several factors here. Number one, most people think of vitamin C as a vitamin. You define vitamin as a trace amount of a substance that you need to prevent [ailments like] scurvy, in the case of vitamin C. But what we're talking about here is something in a pharmacological range." He also feels that there are there are also financial factors. The standard treatments are extremely expensive while I.V. vitamin C is relatively inexpensive. And conventional medicine, as a general rule, is notoriously uninterested in solutions that can't produce profits.
Dr. Hunninghake's statement is probably closer to the truth than they would like us to believe. In 2009 Tulane University Ebola researchers received more than a $7 million dollar grant from NIH (National Institute of Health) to fund the detection kits allegedly used in Sierra Leone. A 2007 Tulane University release entitled New Test Moves Forward to Detect Bioterrorism Threats boasts of an earlier $3.8 million NIH grant that led to early test trial success of "diagnostic test kits that will aid in bioterrorism defense against a deadly viral disease.
An article by Joachim Hagopian entitled The Ebola Virus Pandemic: "A Weapon of Mass Destruction"? states, "What is most certain in all these developing stories is the rapid unfolding of global destabilizing events and developments, bogus accusations and boldface lies streaming forth everyday from the propaganda mills of mainstream media and the US government. But a closer examination of what is far more probable, the actual truth indicates that so many of these simultaneous incidents are intimately related, and a mere connecting of dots spells an evil agenda promoting tighter control by a desperate security state that is now declaring war on all people who seek and speak the truth." Which is why the cure of vitamin C will be buried and vaccines will be promoted.

The Sun Devils wrapped the indoor portion of 2014 with the trio of Ryan Milus, Shelby Houlihan, and Anna Jelmini earning first-team All-America honors for their performances at the 2014 NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships in Albuquerque, N.M.
Milus finished second in the 60m dash with a personal best time of 6.59, while Houlihan took third in the mile at 4:33.04, and Jelmini took seventh in the shot put at 16.82m (55-2.25).
Also for the Sun Devils, freshman Tatum Benard-Taylor earned second-team All-America honors in the 60m, and Houlihan picked up second-team honors for her performance in the 3,000m run.
As the season begins, there are 22 Sun Devils on the roster that were teammates before they came to Arizona State, up 17 from a season ago. CJ Albertson, Cody Brazeal, and Macy Bricks prepped at Buchanan High School in Clovis, Calif. (also the Alma mater of ASU great Kyle Alcorn), while Ginger Jarchow and Ryan Leslie went to high school at Centennial in Peoria, Ariz. Ryan Norton and Bernie Montoya ran together at Cibola HS in Yuma, Ariz., while six Sun Devils boast ties to Desert Vista High School in Phoenix (Heather Arsenau, Edmond Baker, Natalie Krafft, Sarah Lynde, Jenna Mack, and Shayla Simpson). Twins Blake and Kyle Elliott continue to run together at ASU after competing at Dobson High School, while Jack Balder and Miranda Kewley are recent graduates of Great Oak High School in Temecula, Calif., and Amber Pasternak and Ryan Milus competed at Hamilton HS (Chandler, Ariz.) at the same time. The Sun Devils have a trio of graduates from Sandra Day O'Connor High School in Alexander Harris, Bryan McBride, and Marcus Setoki.
Head Coach Greg Kraft is entering his 18th year as the leader of the Sun Devil program, a tenure that has brought Arizona State back to the top of the standings in both the NCAA and Pac-12 events. Since his hiring, the program has continued to evolve into one of the more well rounded in the nation with strength on the track, in the field, and in cross country. Kraft and his staff have worked diligently to reach their goals of championships and success in education. His program has annually produced some of the top individuals in the nation with 26 of the program's 59 individual and relay national titles won since 2004, while both his teams and individual student-athletes have garnered national academic acclaim. Prior to his arrival, the program boasted one NCAA Championship (Men's Outdoor Track & Field, 1977) and one Pac-12 Championship (Men's Outdoor Track & Field, 1981). In the last seven years, his Sun Devils have captured four national crowns (2007 Women's Indoor and Outdoor Track & Field, 2008 Men's and Women's Indoor Track & Field) and added three Pac-12 Championships (Women's Outdoor Track & Field, 2006-08). Kraft's teams have finished in the Top 10 of the NCAA Track & Field Championships on 22 occasions in 16 years while the program had done so just 14 times prior to his arrival in Tempe.
As he begins his 18th year at Arizona State, Greg Kraft's tenure ranks as the second-longest in Sun Devil track & field history and the third-longest active streak among all current ASU head coaches. The only coach that has led the track & field program longer than Kraft is legendary coach Senon 'Baldy' Castillo, who led the way for 26 years (1954-79). Among current Sun Devil head coaches, Kraft's 18th year ranks behind John Spini, who is in his 34th year with gymnastics and Sheila McInerney, who is in her 30th year with women's tennis.
Next week, the Sun Devils will continue its home slate, hosting the ASU Invite on March 28-29. The Pac-12 Networks is set to televise the Saturday portion of the meet.

The New ZAP (Zinfandel Advocates and Producers) Experience for Trade & Media rolled out yesterday January 23,2014 at Rock Wall Winery in Alameda. Great Tasting Seminar moderated by Tim Fish, Senior Editor for Wine Spectator and Winemaker panelists: Morgan Twain-Peterson, Mike Officer and Tegan Passalacqua.
The panel discussed the differences between two distinct growing years, 2009 and 2011. By tasting a wine from each of the vintages side by side, the winemakers were able to translate how variations on climate and soil conditions affect the vineyards and the final character of the wine. Amazing experience to taste wines from Turley (Howell Mountain Zinfandel), Carlisle (Russian River Zinfandel) and Bedrock Wine Company (Sonoma Valley Zinfandel).
The Seminar took place from 1 to 2 p.m. at The Dome (Rock Wall Winery), followed by a great tasting of over 100 Zinfandel producers at the impressive Hangar. An outstanding collection of wines from America's Heritage grape, great opportunity to meet many winemakers and learn from them on a more relaxed environment. From Quivira Vineyards and Winery (Dry Creek Valley) a trio of wines from their estate: 2011 Zinfandel, Flight and Quest, all of them with a common earthy aroma but distinctive flavors.
From Hendry (Napa Valley), Winemaker Mike Hendry shared three great examples of Napa fruit that produce unique wines: 2011 Hendry Block 28, Blocks 7 and 22 and Mike and Molly. Mike believes in letting the fruit speaks trough the vineyard and him been the facilitator for us to appreciate it. From McCay Cellars winemaker Michael McCay shared with us: "My goal is to make a Zinfandel with character, a wine that expresses the vineyard. I believe that Lodi, CA has the perfect climate for Zinfandel, heat in the summer and evenings that are cool with an average of 57 degrees at nighttime, perfect for Zinfandel. My winemaking approach is Hands on, Hands off. Hands on in the vineyard and hands off in the Winery." McCay shared various Zinfandel, very different and full of structure and character. McCay 2010 Jupiter, Equity, Trulux and Contention.
Looking forward to the ZAP Experience main event on Saturday at The Presidio Grounds, for more information or buying tickets check: ZAP Zinfandel Experience.

Surveying Cellular Telephone Users
In the past few years, all large population health surveys that depend on telephone interviews, including the BRFSS, have had to adjust to the rapid rise in the proportion of U.S. households that have a cellular telephone but no landline telephone. In 2004 an expert panel of survey methodologists recommended that BRFSS address the growing effects of cellular telephone-only households. These recommendations included adding cellular telephones in the BRFSS sample and developing improved weighting and adjustment methodologies. Since 2004, CDC has been planning and testing these changes, which were fully implemented with the May 2012 release of the 2011 BRFSS dataset. The BRFSS changes are discussed in detail in the June 8, 2012, MMWR Policy Note titled, "Methodologic Changes in the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System in 2011 and Potential Effects on Prevalence Estimates."
Geographic Stratification within Cellular Samples
Geographic stratification allows states to sample smaller geographic areas within the states. Landline telephone sampling allows for geographic sampling within each state, but cellular telephone numbers are not tied to geographic areas, which complicates geographic sampling. In 2013, the BRFSS is piloting cellular geographic stratification using cellular sampling frames derived from rate centers. A rate center separates the local call boundaries set by service providers for billing purposes; as such, subsets of 1000-series blocks of cellular numbers assigned to specific wireless service providers can be mapped to geographic areas of interest for targeting purposes. This method allows for a better geographic distribution of the cellular sample within the state.
Opt-in Internet Panel Surveys
Opt-in Internet surveys are completed by individuals who have been recruited to fill out questionnaires online. These methods are very flexible, allowing national data collection in a matter of weeks. They are also much more cost effective than random digit dialed surveys and have the potential for following the same groups of people over time. Given these potential advantages, CDC's Division of Behavioral Surveillance is conducting a pilot project to assess the feasibility and accuracy of opt-in Internet panel surveys for behavioral health surveillance. In collaboration with four state departments of health (Georgia, Illinois, New York, and Texas), opt-in Internet panels are being used to assess a range of health-related measures including healthcare access and use, health behaviors, and health outcomes. Three Internet panel firms that use sampling methods with different recruitment strategies, sample selection, and sample matching to the U.S. adult population were used to collect national-, state-, and metropolitan statistical area (MSA)-level data. At the national level, 3,500 Internet panel surveys will be completed; at the state- and MSA-level, 11,000 completed surveys, respectively (Georgia, Atlanta; Illinois, Chicago; New York, New York City; and Texas, Houston). A Web-based questionnaire was developed to establish standards with other federal surveys, such as the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), Selected Metropolitan/Micropolitan Area Risk Trends (SMART) BRFSS, the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), and Consumer Survey of Attitudes Toward the Privacy and Security Aspects of Electronic Health Records and Health Information Exchanges. Data collection is anticipated to be completed by the end of March 2013. Comparative analyses will then be conducted to assess the advantages and disadvantages of different Internet sampling methodologies across a range of parameters including cost, geography, timeliness, usability, and ease of use for technology transfer to states and local communities. Recommendations for future efforts in behavioral health surveillance will be based on these results.

Chocolate Dipped Altoids
Altoids have been around for well over two hundred years. They're simple little nuggets of sugar, mint flavor and a little acacia gum to hold it all together. I'm not sure if they count as candy, as they're intended for breath freshening, not wholesale gobbling. (But just because that's what they're intended for doesn't make it so.)
Altoids were made by Callard & Bowser for many years. Then there were a series of buyouts, Callard & Bowser was bought by Suchard. That company was owned by Beatrice. The whole shebang of Callard & Bowser-Suchard was then sold to Kraft which sold it in 2004 to the Wm. Wrigley, Jr. Company. As a Wrigley brand they make more sense than belonging to a company that makes Velveeta, however, I'm still cross with Wrigley for discontinuing Reed's.
What was once just a humble piece of peppermint chalk is now a veritable empire of its own. There are the mints, a line of gum, sour hard candies and even some freako weird breath strips.
So that brings us to the newest brand extension. The Dark Chocolate Dipped Mints. Called "Curiously Chocolate" on the tin, I have to admit I find it curious myself. I got a hold of two of the new flavors - Peppermint and Cinnamon.
Out of the package they're not remarkable looking at all. They look kind of like buttons or maybe slightly smaller Junior Mints. They smell only vaguely chocolatey but that's probably because the peppermint or cinnamon scent is so strong.
On the tongue the chocolate melts rather readily and is much thicker than I would have expected. It's dark and with a slight grain to it (but hey, Altoids are pretty grainy too) but a rich taste permeated with the mint or cinnamon in question.
I really didn't think these were going to be any good at all, but I enjoyed the little creamy hit of chocolate. I preferred it when I immediately cleaved the mint so that I got mint and chocolate at the same time, but letting the chocolate melt off and then getting to the mint has nice too.
My biggest concern is the durability of these. What I like about Altoids in general is that I can leave a tin in the car or at the bottom of a bag and not worry how long its been there. I know for a fact that I've eaten five year old Altoids. But I wouldn't want to eat old chocolate.
These are preview packages of the new Altoids, they'll be available in January 2007 on CandyWarehouse.com, though there is word that they're popping up in places.
Note from the package: Altoids are made with gelatin, therefore not suitable for vegetarians.
Other strange notes: I went to the Altoids "Shoppe" on their website and they're out of stock on about half of the products. Come on! You're the factory, make some more! (And here's a link to a recent story in the Chicago Sun Times I read.)

Jolly Rancher Fruitas Enchiladas
I knew that Hershey's was really pushing into the Hispanic foods arena more than any other large candy company. But more than just calling things Dulce de Leche, they've now created some Americanized versions of some popular candies in Mexico. There are a few assortments of Jolly Ranchers, but I picked up the Paletas sabor a Frutas Enchiladas. They're hot and spicy fruit flavored lollipops.
They come in three flavors, Tamarindo (tamarind), Limon (lime) and Mango. Each pop is flat hard candy square, a little over a half an ounce each. They're branded under the name La Dulceria Thalia. (I reviewed the Cajeta Elegancita earlier this year.)
Tamarind and chili flavors dominate all three of the pops. Tamarind, if you're not already familiar with it, comes from the Tamarind tree, which looks kind of like the Locust tree and bears large pods that look like beans. The fruit pulp is popular not only in Caribean and Mexican cuisine, but also Southeast Asia and Indian (since that's where the trees originated). The flavor of tamarind may be familiar to folks who like Worcestershire sauce and is most notable for it's tangy, woodsy flavor.
The pop is actually quite pretty. I think I used to have coat buttons that looked like this, deep raspberry red with flecks in them. It's glossy looking and smells like a cross between fresh sour cherries and cedar shavings you put in hamster cage.
The flavor is pleasant, though not really candy like. It's more savory. There are deep notes of berries and of course the slow burn of the chilis. A little coffee and tea and maybe sun dried tomatoes. The more you eat it, the less appealing it looks, as the chili is not that finely ground and makes it look like your rolled your pop in red sawdust after a while.
This one really surprised me when I put it in my mouth. Seriously. Authentically. Lime. It was zesty and tangy and even fragrant. After a while the chili kicks in for a little burn, but the woodsy notes take a back seat here.
The texture after a while ends up being kind of like a tongue pumice. Great if you have a calloused tongue or maybe it's just itchy and you want tasty way to scratch it.
The deep olive green color is a little disconcerting, but of the three flavors, I liked this one the best. The mix of lime and chili is a natural fit.
I love mangos. I've been known to go to the grocery store and buy them a half a dozen at a time and eat two or three a day. They're a great fruit because they're usually not too sweet, have a mix of textures in them and the flavor notes are a cross between concord grapes, rosemary, honeydew, bananas, loquats and apricots.
However, I've never been terribly fond of mango flavored things. (The same goes for apricot and peach flavored things, there's just something that they can't quite get in the flavor that just makes it feel fake and unpleasant.) However, I was encouraged by the lime and was looking forward to giving this one a go.
The taste was immediately tangy and got that balsamy quality that most mango flavors seem to miss. It had that fresh scent of pine and apricot and some serious burn behind it (or maybe my mouth was still tingly from the previous two) and it seemed a bit salty. Mango always goes nicely with some spice (we make a Mango Salsa at home with chopped onions and cumin). But this was just lacking a level, I think.
Overall, I was pleased with the flavor combos, but bothered by the texture of the chili powder. I know it's traditional and I'm sure I would have complained if the candies were too uniform.
After trying things like Rockaleta and Gudu Pops, the uniformity of these was a treat. In fact, I have to say that the appearance of most Mexican candies is what turns me off. These were rustic looking but still appetizing. The La Dulceria Thalia outer wrapper was kind of a turn off for me (it reminds me of romance novels) but once you pop the pops out of there, there's not mention of Thalia again.
Interesting note: these candies were made in Canada. Go figure.

Rice Milk Chocolate Bars
It seems kind of weird to want to find milk chocolate without milk in it, but I know that there are some folks that are dairy free and are looking for that creamy consistency of a milk chocolate without the milk in it. If you're a vegan it's not like you can't have chocolate, after all, the cacao bean is just another seed. But in this day and age, you'd be amazed at how often dairy products are put into even what should be plain old dark chocolate.
Enter Terra Nostra which offers a non-dairy line made with Rice Milk which is also organic to boot!
Ricemilk Choco - 57% cacao solids. The plain Ricemilk Choco has a pleasant sweet smell with a light chocolate aroma. The look of the bar is also pretty becoming, light and glossy with a good snap. On the tongue it has a good buttery melt, but it's extremely sweet. There's also a nutty taste to it, and upon looking at the ingredients I understand why, there are ground hazelnuts in there! It's kind of like a super-mild guandujia.
The thick sweetness wasn't quite to my liking, but I had high hopes for the rest of the line.
Ricemilk Choco with Almonds - 57% cacao solids. The almonds make a huge difference in the flavor of this bar for me. The mellow nuts balance out the sweetness. There's a more noticeable hit of salt in this bar too, even though I know it's the same chocolate, the sweetness of the almonds gives it a great balance.
The almonds are just slivers and pieces, not full nuts, but I kind of prefer mine that way. They were rather light in color, not a toasty brown, so they added more texture than flavor.
Ricemilk Choco Dark Truffle Center - 56% cacao solids. This bar has a ricemilk chocolate outside and a dark truffle inside. The truffle center is rather solid, though slightly softer than the chocolate itself. The light bar here is sweet and the filling is a little less so, but still very buttery. Most truffles are made with the addition of dairy fats (cream or butter) to chocolate to create that hyperfatty tongue-feel. Instead this truffle uses unknown vegetable fats, which I don't usually care for, since they have a different melting point than dairy fats and of course cocoa butter (yes, cocoa butter is a vegetable fat, but it's a very special vegetable fat).
Of the three bars, my first favorite was the Almond one, second is the Truffle. I really didn't like the plain one at all, it was just too sweet without any interesting texture or other notes to it.
Overall, I have to say that I'm impressed and pleased with this vegan line. I usually approach dietary substitutions with trepidation - I'm the type of person who would rather drink their coffee black than use non-dairy creamer. When it comes to choosing between a mock product or nothing at all, I usually go for nothing and wait until I get get a hold of the real thing. But Terra Nostra has done a good job here of bringing the creaminess to their already great organic dark chocolate that emulates the milk chocolate experience pretty well. I'm guess the fact that rice milk is already pretty sweet is what makes the plain bar a little over the top for me.
All the bars are certified organic an stamped with the Equi-Trade fair trade symbol.

When I went to San Francisco earlier this summer I was eager to try out Recchiuti chocolates. They have a lovely little shop in the Ferry Building where all the most expensive and exclusive fresh foods are sold in the city but it was packed so I just looked and figured I'd buy another day (instead I bought some stuff at Miette Patisserie).
This time I went there at lunchtime on a weekday and found things a lot easier to handle. I had a lovely chat with both the women behind the counter (one was wearing devil horns, I'm thinking because I made my purchase on Halloween).
Recchiuti is the concoction of Michael Recchiuti with the tagline on their website of "Indulgence on the verge of Obsession". That sounds just like me! He's been making chocolates since 1997 with special emphasis on flavor combinations and herbal/fruit infusions.
The chocolates are positively lovely. In the store they're laid out on little plates in beds of crushed cocoa beans. The staff was knowledgeable about all the chocolates and helped to guide me towards the ones I knew I'd like.
They sell in two different ways. You can get a gift box with a set number of chocolate pieces in it or you can buy by the pound ($55 a pound). As it was just for me, I didn't need the spiffy box and seeing how the candies varied so much in size, I wanted to be free to choose without worrying about whether one flavor was a better value than another. I ended up with a quarter of a pound, which ended up as a large selection (I got quite a few doubles, so only about 2/3 of my booty is shown here - 22 pieces plus one free taste there on the spot with my purchase).
Cardamom Nougat - a rich chocolate ganache infused with cardamom and studded with honeycomb bits (a hard nougat) and cocoa nibs. One of the nibs was just terrible in the two pieces of this flavor that I ate (it was bitter and acrid) but the rest of it was phenomenal and left a fresh feeling in my mouth.
Star Anise & Pink Peppercorn - the anise zings to the front of the flavors here, then the chocolate comes in then that woodsy note of pink peppercorns without any of the burn. The flavors blend nicely and ended up feeling much lighter than I expected.
Rose Caramel - this is the little foil wrapped one there. The caramel was positively liquid and had a pleasant burnt flavor to it with a slight bitter note and a strong rose geranium scent. The rose and bitterness didn't please me much.
Fleur de Sel Caramel - a great soft and chewy caramel with grains of salt in it. The caramel has a strong bitter and burnt quality to it the salt, of course, is quite strong. I really liked the texture of the soft caramel, but it was just too salty for me.
Honeycomb Malt - the filling is rather like butter with a bit of a grain to it like crystallized honey. The malt flavor is rather mild but the whole thing feels a little greasy and overly sweet.
Bergamot Tea - mellow and zesty with very strong notes of both tea and bergamot. A real favorite of all of them.
Candied Orange Peel - wonderful moist and chewy pieces of orange peel, candied without being sickly sweet.
Cinnamon Malt - very sweet and with a mild cinnamon flavor. Really too sweet for me, a little grainy and not much in the malt arena to compel me.
Mandarin - the smallest of the truffles. I wasn't against buying it because I was paying by the pound instead of the piece. Sweet and dry with a nice zesty taste of fresh orange.
Force Noir - a simple dark truffle. They have another line that's all single origins, but I wanted to try a simple dark truffle. The vanilla notes are very strong, the ganache is light and slightly acidic and super smooth.
Burnt Caramel - oddly, I didn't get much of a difference between this one and the Force Noir.
Lavender Vanilla - mellow and round chocolate flavors with a strong balsam quality with a very noticeable lavender flavor and a honey finish.
Overall the ganache on most of the truffles is a little greasy for my tastes, it's more on the butter side than the chocolate side. It keeps them super smooth and provides a good background for the flavor infusions, but the oiliness of them makes me feel fuller faster.

Vosges Truffles - Fall 2006
Recently my husband went to Chicago and called me from the Vosge homeworld asking what I'd like to have. I was really hoping for a Cardamom truffle (they call them Ellateria) but it turns out that flavor is part of a seasonal set and not made at the moment.
The new seasonal assortment is sold under the banner of Collection of Zion and features lots of freaky ingredients and flavors. I kind of enjoy such things, so I was curious to see what my mouth thought of these intellectually stimulating combinations of flavors.
Instead he brought home some other delightful chocolate spheres. Here are a few I tried:
Selassie (shown there in the center) - allspice + pumpkin = a mellow spice and soft chocolate ganache center gave it a custardy feel. The cloveness wasn't really to my liking, but pleasant.
Ital - Blue Mountain coffee + fresh coconut = acidic, dark and bitter but wonderfully complex and nutty.
Zion - Red Stripe Beer + cocoa nibs = bitter and a little on the yeasty side with a dark complex and acidic crunch.
Budapest - Hungarian paprika + chocolate = mellow with a subtle spicy note that brings out some of the woodsy flavors of the chocolate.
Wink of the Rabbit - soft caramel + New Mexican pecan = milk chocolate is a nice change but a little sweet here, the pecan gives it a maple/woodsy flavor. The caramel is thick and a bit custardy.
It was a nice evening with my box of chocolates. They were all gone, lickety split. Never fear, I just got back from San Francisco and have lots of other exciting haut chocolates to talk about.

The Morning Call
One of my goals when I started Candy Blog was to become a candy authority. Not that I would know everything about candy manufacturing, its history or the business end of things, but I thought I could master an area that I was interested in: Candy Consumerism.
To that end, I've tried to document how candy is marketed to us, where we find it, how it's packaged, what it tastes like, trends in flavors and ingredients and of course sought the input of the readers and their opinions on the same topics.
The first inkling I got that this goal might be within the realm of possibility was my invitation late last year to attend the All Candy Expo as a member of the press. I was also featured on two radio programs and then later had another affirmation when I was interviewed for the NY Times Magazine. This week I rounded out my media and had my first TV interview.
I was contacted by CNBC for their program called Morning Call. On the day before Halloween they wanted to do a little piece on Limited Edition candies and requested me based on the New York Times Magazine column from last summer.
The big problem ... I was going to be in San Francisco on Monday because of my novel writing kick off. But this was no problem at all! The producer simply refered me to a linked up studio there.
Of course I was nervous and tried not to think too much about it. I did get a hair cut on Saturday ... mostly because I hadn't had it cut since June. And then I spent some time practicing not flailing my hands around when I talked.
The segment on candy was going to go on a little before the end of the show which aired from 10AM to 12PM Eastern and hosted by Michelle Caruso-Cabrera with another guest, Lisbeth Echeandia (Publisher - Confectioner Magazine).
I got to the studio about 15 minutes early and had a little tea that I got from a cafe in the first floor of the building. I sat in the waiting room then about eight minutes to air the camera tech/engineer came in and got me. We hooked up my mic and stuck that thing in my ear so that I could hear the feed.
The confusing thing about doing these satellite things is that you don't actually see who you're talking to. So I had to go off of what I was hearing in the little earpiece. I looked at the camera as best I could, even though the content I was getting was through my right ear.
They had some little eyes on the top of the camera to remind the guests to look there. I was terrible at remembering that. There's lots of stuff you have to remember when you're on TV: no cussing, no ripping your shirt off, no flapping your hands, look into the camera, speak intelligently, don't mispronounce the host's name, answer the question, try not to talk when other people are talking, don't chew gum, look like you're paying attention when you're not talking and above all be relaxed!
Of course now that I've done it I understand all those things far better than before.
They gave me a DVD of it when I left the studio, so I'll try to get that up on the web sometime early next week. (You know, in case you're interested in seeing whether or not I followed all that advice.)
UPDATE: You can watch a clip of the segment here!

Soft Candy
Sometimes I feel like eating candy that reminds me of clothing. I don't know why, but something that looks like a pretty scarf or knit cap just makes me happy.
But this candy had the double whammy of being cute looking but also having a completely vague name that I was too curious to pass up the 98 cent gamble. I found these at a Chinese grocer in Chinatown in New York City earlier this spring and just let them sit there looking vaguely sock-like for months. The girl on the package said "I like it!" but that still couldn't quite compel me to open them up and eat them.
Eventually Halloween came around and they looked kind of Halloweeny so I opened up the pack to give them a try.
First, here's what I expected. Based on the ingredients (sugar, glucose syrup, flavorings and pectin) I thought it was going to be an orange flavored gummi.
They were definitely soft, as advertised, but I'd actually call them firm. I'm not sure how well something called Firm Candy would sell, but then again, I question how well Soft Candy sells.
They were firm but had an easy bite to them. Kind of like a gumdrop, but a little tougher without feeling stale. The flavor was, well, not there at all. They were pleasant and not too sweet. It tasted like a mild millet jelly candy, which in turn tastes simply like an unflavored, uncoated jelly bean. They are truly the definition of a benign candy.
Besides being pleasantly cute enough for me to want to string them into a bracelet, they're not much as a candy. Nothing to spit out into the gutter but just no oomph or compelling texture to keep me eating.

Botticelli Signature: Cashew Butter Truffle
Botticelli is an upscale chocolate brand in Canada that makes nice bars at reasonable prices. I've never seen them in stores, but last year my husband brought me one that he got a London Drugs, so they're pretty easy to find.
Sam, whom I met at All Candy Expo earlier this summer sent me some excellent bars to try in their Signature line. I want to post about all of them, but I have to finish tasting them all. I had to post about this one first because he sent me TWO bars and both are gone now. The listing of quality ingredients on the label alone made my mouth water.
The Cashew Butter Truffle is a milk chocolate bar with a filling of cashew butter. It's not quite truffle-like in my estimation, more on the nut butter end of things, but that suits me just fine. The smooth and nutty butter has a good salty hit (though it says there's no added salt) and a true-to-life flavor of cashews that just sends me over the moon.
My only disappointment about the bar was there were some "unfilled" squares on one end of the bar that were just chocolate. I like chocolate and all, but I really wanted more of that cashwey goodness.
Cashews are so rare in consumer branded chocolates it's so refreshing to not only find a bar, but find it to be good. If you're a nut fan, this might be the bar for you. If you've seen them in stores in Canada, do let me know where they've turned up.

The following information is from Anne Frye (CPM)'s book: "Understanding Diagnostic Tests in the Childbearing Year" 6th edition p. 108 "Normal hCG Levels in Early Pregnancy" "HCG is detectable in the blood serum of approximately 5% of pregnant women by 8 days after conception, and in virtually all the rest by 11 days. HCG rises progressively from conception. Levels double on the average, every 30.9 hours until values reach 6500 mIU/ml (6,500 IU/L) at approximately the eighth week after the last menstrual period (LMP). After that the rate of rise becomes individualized, peaking between the 60th and 70th day (9 to 10 weeks) LMP. HCG decreases slightly between the 12th and 16th week post LMP, and then remains constant until birth. " p. 111 "To Diagnose Pregnancy" "A blood serum level of less than 5 mIU/ml (5 IU/L) can be considered negative and anything above 25 mIU/ml (25 IU/L) positive for pregnancy. If you are unsure, repeat the test in two days to see if there is an upward trend, which indicates pregnancy." "Levels higher than expected for the weeks pregnant may be due to multiple gestation or inaccurate dates. ... Levels for normal pregnancy fall within the following wide ranges. You will note a discrepancy between the ranges of normal in the two tables below. The actual level can vary widely, and is not as significant as the amount and rate of rise, particularly before 10 weeks." p. 112 PREGNANCY STATUS SERUM hCG LEVELS For HCG charts go to: http://www.bobrow.net/kimberly/birth/hcglevels.html All infromation provided is also from this page.
It depends on the type of X-ray you need and exactly how much radiation you're going to be exposed to. The greater your exposure to radiation, the greater the risk to your baby. Most diagnostic X-rays (dental X-rays, for example) do not expose the fetus to high enough levels of radiation to cause a problem. While fetal exposure over 10 rads (the unit of measurement for absorbed radiation) has been shown to increase the risks for learning disabilities and eye abnormalities, you needn't worry. It's rare for a diagnostic X-ray to exceed 5 rads. For example, the amount of radiation that a baby gets from a mother's dental X-ray is only 0.01 millirad. Since a rad is equal to 1,000 millirads, one would have to have 100,000 dental X-rays for the baby to receive just one rad. Other estimated fetal doses are 60 millirads for a chest X-ray, 290 millirads for an abdominal X-ray, and 800 millirads for a computerised tomographic (CT) scan. For perspective, during the normal course of pregnancy your baby is exposed to about 100 millirads of natural radiation from the sun and earth. Although the risk from diagnostic X-rays is low, experts often recommend that women postpone getting unnecessary X-rays until after giving birth. However, if your doctor feels X-rays are needed for your particular medical situation, it may ease your mind to know that the amount of radiation your baby will receive will most likely be well within the safe range. On the day of the test, make sure the radiographer knows that you are pregnant so she can properly shield you. If you're around radiation at work, talk to your supervisor about ways to reduce or eliminate your exposure. You may want to discuss the possibility of wearing a special kind of film badge that monitors the amount of radiation you receive. Such badges can be analysed periodically to make sure you and the baby are safe. If you're concerned that your employer isn't addressing safety issues, contact the Health and Safety Executive, the government agency responsible for overseeing safety in the workplace. If you were receiving radiation for cancer therapy before learning you were pregnant, talk to your oncologist about the amount of radiation your baby may have received, and ask for a referral to a genetic counsellor and for a detailed ultrasound of the baby.
