HAPPY NEW YEAR QNY !!
I strongly recommend this beautiful album by equally beautiful New Yorker Eric Yves Garcia. And before I go any further, let me give you the good news that you can download it here on QNY for free!
I'm picky about coverage of American Songbook and jazz standards. Love the purity of Ella Fitzgerald, the roughness of Etta James, the velvety Diana Krall, the dreamy Chet Baker, the accents on Mel Tormé and Michael Bublé, the sadness of Billie Holiday, and the quirky surprise of Cyndi Lauper, Kate Bush, Joni Mitchell or even Miss Ross. (Hate everything by Bobby Short and Rufus Wainwright.) A good cover of a classic is like a bus driver who tells his passengers "I'm taking a different route today, folks. Hope you like it." The detour takes you home, but the scenery is fresh. "The Chance To Sing" is a spectacular detour you'll want to take more than once.
Eric's delivery is bright, clean and spirited. I don't think we should fault him because his voice doesn't have that "I've been through recovery" wisdom of the rebuilt Rosemary Clooney, for example. He's rather a classic crooner, at this point in his career. Just better than most. I was especially satisfied by the perfect balance and interplay between Eric's piano playing and his voice. Neither bends to the other and both are equally dazzling. It's really more of a duet rather than voice with accompaniment.
Hope you enjoy this as much as I do, and please stop by his FB fan page. I've got a hunch that we'll be seeing and hearing a lot more from Eric.
I've included a shirtless pic after the jump because I know you want it.
On Sunday, I'm taking my sweetie, Tony P., and my friend Jen and her kids, Abbe and Zane, to see Mummenschanz at New York University's Skirball Center. Tony saw Mummenschanz live when he was a kid, and I remember being entranced by the mime troupe's performance on The Muppet Show back in America's bicentennial year. Mummenschanz is appearing at the Skirball Center through Jan. 8.
There are literally thousands of Christmas songs, and many hundreds of them get played over and over again throughout this holiday season (which now conveniently starts in October). The repetition makes you so crazy you want to jump in a time machine and go back about 2010 years to delay a certain family's departure from Bethlehem on their way to Egypt.
But New Years Eve songs? There can really be only one. And for nearly three centuries it's been Auld Lang Syne.
It's really time for a new New Year's Eve song, don't ya think, and I've got one everyone should agree on. It starts with one of the best screams in Rock n' Roll, has plenty of fun, Times Square-centric lyrics; a bouncy call and response chorus that practically forces you to sing along; and contains not one, but two ridiculously fast and furious finger-melting guitar solos.
And it's from the 1970s, a decade that everyone loves, right?
It starts innocently enough, with an ascending minor key, choppy-chord introduction. But then an emphatic "OH YEAH!" aggressively grabs your earlobes, pushes you to your knees, and sets you up for the fun n' fear that might happen next. Or not.
An angry snowman on Christopher Street. It looks like he's mad that he can't get a cab to stop for him.
You've watched the video and read their story. Here's my QNY interview with the new gay Santas.
What happens when two guys living in New York City's Chelsea gayborhood mysteriously begin to receive an avalanche of mail addressed to Santa? That is the premise of the beautiful and touching story of Jim and Dylan, a gay couple who have inadvertently found themselves at the center of this year's biggest Christmas miracle. How and why hundreds of letters to Santa from kids in various New York neighborhoods ended up in their mailbox is still a mystery, but their response to this situation has done us all proud. Rather than ignore the letters, they decided to answer them and to send gifts to the children who wrote them. They enlisted friends and co-workers to help with the daunting task. Their story was featured in the Christmas Eve edition of the New York Times, and I had a delightful conversation with Jim soon afterwards.
Please take a moment to write a thank you note to these guys for doing us all proud.
Something tells me the post office will know the street address.
This is from Eric and Asaf of NYC. Eric is one of the best writers/bloggers in the world. For an explanation of the card and for a wonderful read, go to him. Often.
I have a fondness for videos made all-in-one-take. Here's a fascinating one of the Brooklyn indie group Ladycop.
How did you come to be on GWLBWLB? Did you have trepidations about being on a reality-TV show? And was it hard convincing Mike to be on it?
I'm a musical-theater composer, and a guy I know from that world e-mailed me and said, Hey, I'm the executive producer of this show about the friendships between gay men and straight women; you should audition for it. So Sarah and I went and auditioned, which basically consisted of having a conversation on camera. We thought it would at the very least be good exposure for our books (she's the author of For All the Tea in China, the story of how England stole tea from China in the greatest act of industrial espionage in history, and I'm the author of Swish: My Quest to Become the Gayest Person Ever and What Happened Instead and Gay Haiku, which are about what you'd think they were about) and for my music.
It's interesting; when we started filming, we were told, this is going to be a different kind of reality show, more documentary, less manipulated that what TV audiences are used to. But then, as far as I understand, halfway through filming, Sundance Channel got bought by people who were interested in making a more traditional reality show, so it's been fascinating to watch the changes that have happened and are happening.
Mike was actually incredibly resentful and hated being on the show. He was willing to do it because the exposure would be good for my book and my music, and every time they filmed him he was miserable. We've had some good sessions with our couples therapist, though, and everything seems to have worked itself out—but he's not watching the show.
Even in plain daylight, I love the IAC HQ building at 550 West 18th Street in Chelsea, but this really makes it come alive.
Thirty years ago, I attended a "Son et Lumière" show in Egypt at the temples of Luxor. This takes it to a whole new level. Wouldn't it be great if this happened constantly all over the city? I know a certain drab Huntington Hartford building on Columbus Circle that could certainly benefit from it.
Adam Bock returns to Playwrights Horizons' main stage with this story of a callous construction contractor as she deals with unexplained health issues. Emily (Michelle Pawk) thrives in the rough and tumble world of commercial construction. She seems most comfortable with her employee Billy (Victor Williams). Her connection with her husband, John (Reed Birney) has reached a working balance of love and dysfunction, but the same can't be said for her soon-to-be-married daughter Jenny (Celia Keenan-Bolger). A prophetic "We'll work it out." repeats over and over on the presumption that there's always time to resolve issues and difficulties.
I enjoy making breakfast treats for my family to eat on Christmas morning. Sometimes I make them ahead of time, and sometimes I'll bake them at my Granny's house. This year, I'm making a riff on Pop-Tarts that I found in Bon Appétit magazine back in April. I started the process on Sunday here in the city up to the point of freezing the filled tarts, and I'll take them frozen to South Jersey to bake on Saturday.
For the filling, I used raspberry jam I made when I visited my blogger buddies Mark and Rodger out in Portland, Oregon, over the summer. I doubled the recipe for the tart dough, and I used the kitchen scale Dad and Jean got me for my birthday to make sure the four portions I needed to separate the dough into were equal: Each weighed about 9 1/2 ounces. I shaped the four wads of dough into discs and chilled them in the refrigerator. The very buttery dough had come together pretty easily.
I goofed up when I made the first bunch of tarts. For some reason, I was thinking I needed to make only two tarts instead of four from the first disc of dough, so those turned out extra large. I made out much better with the remaining three discs and so got 12 tarts with the desired 3-by-5-inch dimensions. I froze all of the tarts in plastic containers with parchment paper separating the stacks.
Yesterday morning, I heated up one of the extra large tarts for my breakfast. I really dug it. The crust was nice and flaky, and the jam tasted wonderful in combination with its buttery shell. It was much better than an actual Pop-Tart, which my Aunt Marian always likened to two pieces of cardboard with jelly in the middle.
than a Central Park card?
SENATE VOTES TO REPEAL DADT!
as the holidays approach i go through my stack of photos taken over the previous 12 months, choose my favourites, and then go into full production mode creating individual cards; prepping, printing and mounting the images (a different one for each card), hand stamping the salutations, etc. it's a lot of work and takes much time, but once it's done it's fun to put them all in the mail. happy solstice everybody!
Though it almost seemed cold enough to snow on my first-ever day in Key West, New England-appropriate jackets and hats kept us warm as we temporarily left behind the Island House luxury to stroll the streets and admire the tropical-Christmas color. There is no evocative song expertly expressed by Ella to accompany these photos, but the bright hues and southern sunshine-saturation should have you feeling the heat that we could not. Things are back to almost normal now, as daytime temperatures tomorrow are expected to be mid-seventies.
Bows, wreaths, ribbons and garlands galore after the jump.
Is There Room in Your Heart, NYC?
This is not your typical musical production, but proceeds from tickets sales and donations will go to help fund Sylvia's Place, a Manhattan shelter for homeless LGBT youth. My boyfriend and I attended last night's performance, and I'll admit that neither of us are fans of musicals, but Is There Room in Your Heart? transcended all of that and opened a Pandora's Box of humanism that dazzled with good old in-your-face New York City realism. For many in the cast are indeed homeless.
The strength of this experimental musical is the way in which it dissects homelessness, from a monolithic condition, to a wider span of individual circumstances that transform everyday working people to folks that lose everything; jobs, homes, families. Forced to wander and depend on the charity of others and of the government, even more is lost: health, pride, confidence.
Each story will stay with you for a long time—plus the singing is fantastic!
It's estimated that nearly half of the homeless youth on the streets of New York City fall under the LGBT umbrella, so attending one of the four remaining programs will help us to help our own! And plus, it's that time of year.
The Baad lamb and I are in Key West where the big chill of the last 48 hours is almost over. We are sharing a very comfortable two-bedroom apartment with JoeMyGod at the fabulous Island House.
Laurie Anderson's Grammy award nominated song Flow from her Homeland album is available as a free download through QNY because we luvya and we luv Laurie.
Got a Christmas card from Robin Kradles!
Writer/Composer Joel Derfner Is One of the Boys in "Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys"
I hadn't planned to watch Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys, the new docu-reality TV show on the Sundance Channel, until I saw that Joel Derfner was one of the boys. You may know Derfner as Faustus, M.D., writer of the blog The Search for Love in Manhattan. Or as the author of Gay Haiku or Swish. And he's also a composer of cabaret and musical theater songs.
Tony and I watched the first two episodes of the eight-show series on Thursday night. We immediately liked David, who dressed up as a mime for his girlfriend Elisa's 45th birthday party in the hope that that would help him keep his mouth shut. We also saw him start teaching Elisa how to run. After he hurt his knee, he took to a bench and smoked a cigarette while she continued going around the track behind him.
Joel came across as sweet and fun, and he and his boyfriend, Mike, have a nice rapport. But his girlfriend, Sarah, is so self-absorbed she told him it should have been her getting engaged instead of him when he announced that Mike had proposed to him. (That's Sarah and Joel in the photo.) Tony and I decided to cut her a little slack—a little—after it was revealed she spends a great deal of time taking care of her ailing mother.
While watching White Christmas tonight, I was once again mesmerized by the curious Mary Wickes who played the busybody housekeeper. I remember her also from I Love Lucy. Here she is in one of the few non-housekeeper roles of her long career. (Lucille Ball who studied acting briefly (and performed on Broadway equally briefly) in NYC is brilliant in this episode.
I also enjoyed the slice of sweet potato pie I got from PnT. I'd wanted to get a cup of ginger tea to cut through all of the richness, but the guy working the counter said it wasn't hot yet.
While I was up that way, I also hit Columbus Circle Wines & Spirits, where I picked up a few bottles of wine to replenish my almost empty cabinet and Crème Yvette, the violet-flavored liqueur produced by Rob Cooper, the same dude who makes St-Germain.
Last Saturday, I bumped into Brooklyn-born and hot Wilson Cruz at this party.
Joe Jervis wins Village Voice 2010 "Best Political Blog" Award!
"On April 14 1987 Jesuit superiors arrived at the apartment of Fr John McNeill at 98th Street in NYC. In English and Latin they read the Vatican "Decree of Expulsion". McNeill, Jesuit priest of 40 years, was expelled from his religious community because of disobedience to Vatican authorities. He questioned Roman Catholic teaching on homosexuality. This was the final act of an expulsion drama begun a decade prior in 1977."
"Taking A Chance On God" , a documentary film, is John's story, beautifully realized by New York activist, Brendan Fay. I wrote about John in the South Florida Gay News.
Unlike the last 15 years living in New York, for this week, I have something social to do EVERY night. This is to say, that when presented with a challenge, even now, I can rise to the occasion.
Tonight it was dinner with good friends at The Stanton Social (warning: annoying Flash site) down on the Lower East Side.
Robert Fripp, the King Crimson mastermind and maybe the world's best (certainly the most "disciplined") guitarist, played four free Soundscapes performances this Friday and Saturday at the Winter Garden in the World Financial Center, NYC. I was lucky enough catch the 12:30 Saturday gig.
Play, record, echo, delay, reverb, repeat.
That, in the simplest of terms is the Frippertronics formula, and the method employed for his "Soundscapes" series. Technology has changed since his pioneering work with Brian Eno in the mid seventies, so instead of double modified reel-to-reel tapes, Mr. Fripp uses a stack of modern digital equipment piled immediately to the right of his guitar stool, giving him plenty of knobs, dials and buttons to twiddle with after each guitar phrase is recorded and looped. As previously recorded riffs get processed and re-recorded, he adds another note, sound or riff to accompany the earlier ones, subtly shifting and shaping these sonic textures, layering sound on sound and deciding how long to allow the overlap and echo, till it quietly fades away. The result is lush, beautiful, cerebral and often- very quiet.
More pics and video after the jump.
He handles his FOX interview eloquently.
I went to an orchid show earlier today and acquired this gorgeous creature from among a crowd of almost irresistible offerings. At noon I attended a lecture about the care and repotting of orchids. I learned that it is preferable to collect orchids that are locally grown. The ones in Hawaii are tempting and inexpensive but they are grown thousands of feet above sea level and need much time to get used to their new homes. This means they may not bloom for a few years causing their adoptive parents much anxiety. A New York window is a fine place for many types of orchids. Be sure to read up on the light, moisture, growing mix and temperatures each variety prefers. If it's your first, start with the rugged phaleonopsis that will take much abuse and still rebloom more than once a year. Cymbidiums are also fairly easy to manage, but their sprays of tiny flowers don't thrill me like this showgirl.
I luuuurve the beard on my friend Jack Mackenroth, one of New York's favorite guys. It's a recent addition and I think you'll agree that these photos on Manhunt, by Ray John Pila are incendiary. Can the man get any hotter?
Watch this video about the nearly completed clean-up of 42nd Street.
I am not entirely convinced about what Disney hath wrought on 42nd St. I know the real Times Square still lurks under this glitzy family-oriented skin. Ask any New Yorker. Do we walk through Times Square? Rarely. It's not a vibrant part of the city. It's a tourist park pasted into the middle of the city.
I wouldn't relish a return to the sleaze of the 70s/80s, but was this soul-killing, sexless sanitization the only alternative?
Hanukkah started at sun down on this past Wednesday. To no surprise, the chatter among my Twitter community is all about the food that they will prepare for this festive holiday. Latkes, matzo ball soup and even sufganiya, jelly doughnut, are some of the hot topics of the week. Granted I lived in New York and are familiar with the Jewish culture; but I am certainly no expert in cooking the dishes. Most Jewish households have their own favorite recipes, passed down for generations or cookbooks written by experts such as Joan Nathan.
Since this is also Cookie Week, I will stick to my goyim approach and do what I know best. Rugelach is one of my favorite cookies. Biting into a slightly crispy sugary exterior, you will encounter a tender buttery dough wrapped around either fruit or nut filling. No matter which flavors you choose, it always yields the sound of ecstasy.
Another ingredient that can produce the same reward would have to be Nutella, a hazelnut chocolate spread. This is also an ingredient that has a huge following in Twitterverse. Many have made delicious baked goods that highlight the seductive capability of Nutella. So I say, why not make Rugetella-rugelach with nutella filling.
Since Nutella is produced as a spread, it oozes out of a typical rolled up crescent shape rugelach, so I use a different technique. A sprinkling of toasted hazelnuts and Nutella spread sandwiched between two sheets of rugelach dough, baked in a baking pan until golden and slighty crispy. Unlike a bar cookie, Rugetella has a softer body, I cut them into small finger-size stripes to prevent them from crumbling.
Bake these Rugetella to celebrate Hanukkah, but since Nutella is a spread that everyone loves, why not archive this recipe and baked the Rugetella when ever you have the urge to hit that special spot.. Have a wonderful holiday season and bake something special for your friends and family.
For nine years, we've only looked at this fresh water lagoon from our balcony over Fort Lauderdale's Birch Park. This Thanksgiving, we decided to explore it up close in a bright yellow canoe.
After negotiating our rented watercraft away from the protective guard-duck who seemed miffed at not being fed, we set off into this mysterious and primitive waterscape. There were large drifts of water lilies, at times thick enough to nearly stop the boat. Strange and beautiful plants along the banks had us zig-zagging back and forth for close-up inspections.
Punctuating the lush hammock surrrounding the lagoond is one last stand of silvery dead trees, the remains of invasive, non-native Australian pines that the park service has been eradicating over the past few years.
Lots of pictures after the jump, and as always, click to embiggen for full screen pleasure.
My friend Mark King speaks for all of us.

Is the new entry of the estates of Cristiana Collection since 2015: 10 ha of which 4 are vineyards. A new challenge for Cristiana: toward biodynamic farming.
Tenuta Monte Tomelon is situated 500 mt above the level sea, almost on the peaks of Tomelon mountain. It is an ancient area of limestone quarry. The vineyards stand facing east and part of them are terraced for the high slope. This territory, Illasi Valley, is of outstanding beauty, with an ancient and complex geology. During the Mesozoic era this area was ocean floor and in that period where formed the oldest limestone. After the underwater volcanic eruptions, during the tertiary era, the ridges of the Alps and the pads of Lessinia took shape. Afterwards, during the ice age, enormous quantities of debris formed the moraine hills near the Garda lake and the Valpolicella valleys.Here the terroir offers many advantages for the vineyard: The Lessini Mountains are a natural barrier against the cold north winds, ventilation and altitude keep away the fog and the humidity of the Po Valley, the high daily temperature range is important for the grapes to develop the acidity necessary for the wine longevity. The soil Is also very important : the limestone rock, that generates powerful wines with rich aromas. In Tenuta Tomelon, in addition to organic farming certified method,we are integrating byodinamic practices in order to obtain the certification in few years.


examples/mimeencoder.C is an example of creating encoded MIME entities. mimeencoder.C takes a list of filenames as parameters, and creates a list of MIME entities, one entity per file, with its contents; then creates a multipart MIME entity consisting of all the individual MIME entities.
MIME entities get constructed from a x::headersimpl<x::headersbase::lf_endl> or a x::headersimpl<x::headersbase::crlf_endl> object, and additional parameters that define the content of the entity. The selection of the x::headersimpl specialization determines whether MIME encoding uses LF or CRLF newline sequence for the encoded header and body portion of the MIME entity.
Encoding a MIME entity begins by constructing structured "Content-Type", and, perhaps, "Content-Disposition" MIME headers, with the help of x::mime::filetype() and x::mime::filecharset().
x::mime::filetype() takes a filename argument, and searches for a registered MIME type for that filename extension in mime.types. If the extension is not found, the MIME type gets heuristically derived from the contents of the file using libmagic, a.k.a. the file(1) command. Alternatively, x::mime::filetype() also takes a file descriptor in place of a filename, which does only the content file lookup.
For text MIME content, if the character set is not known otherwise, x::mime::filecharset() also derives it heuristically via libmagic.
x::mime::make_section() takes a constructed header parameter, that specifies a completed set of MIME headers, and a container that specifies the raw, unencoded contents of the MIME entity, and returns a x::mime::encoder. This is a reference to a reference-counted object that represents an encoded MIME entity.
x::mime::make_section()'s second parameter is any container that implements begin() and end() that define the beginning and the iterator for an input, forward, or a random access sequence of chars that give the unencoded contents of the MIME entity.
The container must be copy-constructible. x::mime::fromfile() supplies a suitable container that reads the contents of the MIME section from a file, specified as a filename or a file descriptor object.
x::mime::encoder's referenced object's begin() and end() return a x::mime::encoder::base::iterator, defining a beginning and an ending iterator for an input sequence of chars containing the headers followed by the encoded contents of the MIME section.
x::mime::make_section() does not read the entire contents of the MIME entity and encodes it, and gives back a x::mime::encoder that returns the iterators to the encoded sequence. x::mime::make_section() copies the headers parameter and the container object itself, into the the x::mime::encoder object. begin() and end() call the container's begin() and end(), and encode the object on the fly (together with preceding MIME headers).
In other words, a x::mime::fromfile referencing a ten megabyte file does not load the entire contents of the file into memory. The file gets opened by begin() and end(), and gets encoded on the fly.
A x::mime::fromfile specifying a file descriptor to a non-regular file, such as a pipe, results in x::mime::fromfile reading its entire contents into a temporary file. Specifying a filename simply opens the file, directly.
x::mime::make_section() selects the transfer encoding heuristically, by reading the container and selecting 7bit, 8bit, quoted-printable, or base64. x::mime::make_section() takes two optional parameters.
An optional bool parameter has a default value of false. Setting it to true disables 8bit, and forces either quoted-printable or base64, if 7bit does not work.
A maximum size of each text line has a default value of 76. Even if the MIME entity does not need quoted-printable or base64 otherwise, they get used if the MIME entity contains lines that exceed the text line size parameter, and the parameter specifies the maximum size of the lines in the encoded content, as well.
x::mime::make_base64_section() and x::mime::make_qp_section() explicitly construct a base64 or a quoted-printable-encoded MIME entity. An optional parameter gives the maximum line size of the encoded entity, defaulting to 76 characters per line.
x::mime::make_section(), x::mime::make_base64_section(), and x::mime::make_qp_section() supply the appropriate "Content-Transfer-Encoding" header, and this header should not be present in the x::headersimpl parameter. There's also a x::mime::make_plain_section() that constructs a x::mime::encoder that does not perform any MIME encoding, presuming that 7bit or 8bit works for the MIME entity. x::mime::make_plain_section() does not supply a "Content-Transfer-Encoding" header. If required, it needs to be added to the headers parameter.
x::mime::make_message_rfc822_section() takes a previously-created encoder of an entire message, and constructs a message/rfc822 entity from it. x::mime::make_message_rfc822_section adds "Content-Type: message/rfc822" header to any headers present in its headers parameter.

The Good, the Bad & the Queen («Хороший, плохой и королева») — дебютный студийный альбом британской альтернативной супергруппы The Good, the Bad & the Queen, в состав которой входят Деймон Албарн, Пол Симонон, Саймон Тонг и Тони Аллен. Выпущен в январе 2007 года и дебютировал на втором месте в хит-параде UK Albums Chart, а также, несмотря на небольшое признание в СМИ и ротацию, спустя несколько дней после выпуска получил статус золотого диска в Великобритании. В американском чарте Billboard 200 альбом поднялся до 49 места.

Об альбоме
Было высказано предположение, что альбом, в некотором смысле, является концептуальным, так как все песни построены вокруг современной жизни в Лондоне. В интервью журналу Mojo, Албарн описал альбом, как «вокальный цикл c элементами мистерии о Лондоне».

Leafs Trade Franson, Santorelli
February 15th, 2015 Steven Andrews Analysis, News, Opinion, Prospects 0 comments
The Maple Leafs receive Nashville's first round pick, Brendan Leipsic and Olli Jokinen in exchange for Cody Franson and Mike Santorelli.
Trade Thoughts (via Phook):
Jokinen, 36 years old, is a UFA at the end of the season and some are predicting that his contract is moved before he even laces up the skates in Toronto. The second part of this trade is Brenan Leipsic 20 years old and was originally drafted by the Predators in the third round (89th overall) during the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. A native of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Leipsic has appeared in 47 games with the Milwaukee Admirals (AHL) this season, collecting 35 points (seven goals, 28 assists) and 16 penalty minutes. Leipsic played four seasons (2010-11-2013-14) with the Winterhawks where he registered 302 points (132 goals, 170 assists) in 261 games. During the 2012-13 season Leipsic's 120 points (49 goals, 71 assists) led the entire Canadian Hockey League in scoring. Leipsic will report to the Toronto Marlies.
This trade looks like a win for both sides but the Leafs entering house cleaning season, we have added exactly what we need. Prospects and picks. Much respect to Cody Franson who was one of the very few voices that would talk to the media even after the worst performances this team had during this awful season. Seems like a true leader, but as a UFA and with his age he can no longer be part of the plans in Toronto. Best of luck in Nashville.
David Nonis will be speaking to the media at 12pm (EST).
More trades to come….and this is a solid start, Leafs fans.
Prospect Report on Leipsic (via Dudgee):
Undersized high energy forward loaded with speed and skill. Hits everything that moves, providing the kind of energy shifts that can wake a team up. 2013 CHL scoring champion co-winner, alongside teammate Nick Petan. Can play centre and wing. Currently sits second in point production for the division leading Milwaukee Admirals, putting up good assist totals for his rookie AHL season. Has yet to replicate the goal scoring touch he had with Portland, but there is plenty of time.
Optimistically, Leipsic could follow the path of another Brendan…. Gallagher., as his skills, tenacity and size are freakishly similar, however Leipsic's numbers in the CHL vs. Gallagher suggest there is more offensive upside.

My sister just finished building a beautiful home in a town called Kula (Upcountry Maui). When I read about an organic farm tour and lunch 10 minutes from her home I knew we had to do it (thanks for the tip mom). The farm supplies many of the high-end dining establishments in Lahaina.
The tour starts in the coffee tree lined parking lot and moves through the fruit trees up to the outdoor kitchen and dining area. There you meet the dedicated farm chef and he describes the gourmet menu he is going to prepare while you continue the tour through the garden. When the lunch bell rings a beautiful buffet of delicious food awaits you. Everything is harvested/caught earlier that morning.
Our farm Lunch included: salad (with greens we gathered from the garden), fresh caught mahi mahi w/ maui onion & fennel, fried tofu w/ beets, farm egg frittata w/ maui onions, raw veggie platter, crusty bread, brewed coffee & chocolate.
The next time you are in Maui take some time to venture away from the beach and check out Kula. You can't beat the amazing bi-coastal views!
Note: Be sure to wear long pants, sneakers and pack a sweatshirt and umbrella. It is chilly up there and it may sprinkle on you even in the warmest summer months.
I've said it before and I'll say it again … the best way to check out a City is with a food tour. We chose Foods of New York Greenwich Village Food and Culture Walking Tour. We arrived at 11am on Bleecker Street with empty stomachs. Our guide was a friendly young actress who had definitely done her homework. She was chock full of food & Village knowledge. We walked the charming neighborhood for 3 hours and were stuffed by the end.
Stop 2. Olive oil tasting @ O & Co.
There are a bunch of historical stops on the tour too but I'll let you see that for yourself.
If anyone says the food is not enough they must have a tape worm because we were completely full with 3 stops to go. I had to bag my cookie, pass on the cheese and I FORCED myself to eat the cannoli!
Our flight arrived at JFK at 8am and by 9:30am we were waiting in line for a table at Clinton St. Baking Company – yes, there was a 30 minute wait on a Tuesday. But it was voted best pancakes in NY by New York magazine and Martha (Stewart) is on their website homepage so I knew it had to be good. I ordered the eggs benedict -poached eggs, maple cured ham, classic hollandaise,over a toasted buttermilk biscuit. Awesome. Loved the biscuit and the chopped onion/ bell peppers on top gave it a zesty kick. Mike chose the famous wild maine blueberry pancakes with warm maple butter. Super light and fluffy. Worth the wait. CASH ONLY! This held us over till dinner.
I had to hit at least one of Mario Batali's NY restaurants and we chose LUPA OSTERIA ROMANA which is a casual spot specializing in Roman trattoria fare. This was our best meal of the trip. Everything tasted superb. We had some great wine and service. Prices were reasonable but make sure you order a couple courses per person or you will leave hungry.
We skipped dessert and walked to Puddin' a sweet shop that serves up different flavors of pudding. I know, brilliant idea! We ordered some of the signature (pre-made) minis so we could sample a bunch.
My favorite was the Caramel Macchiato (coffee /chocolate puddings, brownie pieces, salted caramel sauce) followed by Banana Cream Dream (banana pudding, graham cracker crumbs, banana cake,whipped cream). Before arriving I would have bet that my fav would have been the Coconut Cruise (coconut pudding, pineapple, coconut-soaked lime cake, graham cracker crumbs) but it had a weirdly thick consistency that didn't move me.
With all that eating I had to schedule some sort of exercise. We had never been to Central Park and after some research many said the best way to see it all (since it is 843 acres) is by bike. We took a guided 2-hour Bike Tour and had a beautiful ride. Look for coupons …they are out there. I found one for $10 off each person!
We finished up around noon so we walked to Shake Shack for lunch. This is NYC's version of In-N-Out.
We added a Fair Shake to our burger order -vanilla shake featuring 100% certified organic Arabica Fair Trade coffee. Yum! Something different for a fast food joint …they serve beer & wine too.
I was worried about eating a burger in the middle of the day since we were having dinner early but it was miniature…more like a slider. It was a very fresh and tasty burger. Did it put I-N-O to shame? I think not. Both do things well so I'm gonna leave it as a tie.
cereal milk soft serve with corn flakes – tasted best when it was all melted.
I couldn't pass this soft serve up since it was really HOT out. I needed the energy to walk back to the hotel. Sooo much walking in the city!
Our final dinner was at The dutch. I had heard tons of good press about this place especially for the lunch/brunch. We were in a hurry because we arrived late and had to get to the premiere so we didn't get to experience all it has to offer (namely THE PIE) but what we did have let's just say I was not impressed. The food was just so-so and really expensive for what you got. Oh well, you can't win 'em all!


A new chapter began in the history of blogging fraternity of Pakistan when Mobilink organized the first ever female bloggers meet-up in Lahore today.
The 'females only' meet up was organized to exclusively introduce the stylish feministic Motorola flip-out mobile phone launched by Mobilink earlier this month as well as to celebrate the upcoming International Women's Day on March 8th, 2011.
Over 40 social media active ladies and female bloggers attended the meet-up at Café Rock. The audience was a mix of experienced, newbies and well as aspiring young female bloggers.
The meet-up began with a warm-up introductory session with attending bloggers followed by an online contest to win the new Motorola Flip-out phone.
A lot of different issues were brought up and discussed at the meet-up regarding female bloggers such as why Pakistani women don't blog as much as their counterparts and what kind of apprehensions women usually face while blogging and maintaining active presence on social media platforms.
Many female bloggers also shared their blogging experience and helped out aspiring bloggers with their queries regarding blogging and remaining active on social media platforms.
A budding blogger, Amna Tariq was presented the Motorola Flip-out phone after she won the online contest at the event. At the conclusion of the meet-up, bloggers were informed about another chance to win the second Motorola Flip-out phone on the International Women's Day (IWD).
In order to take part in the Mobilink IWD Blogging Contest, female bloggers have to submit their blog posts to Mobilink latest by March 5th. The best blog post winner will be awarded the second Motorola Flip-out phone on the upcoming International Women's Day (March 8th).
This was the first time a telecom company took an initiative to support women bloggers in the country by exclusively arranging an event for them and promoted active presence of Pakistani women in online media for expression of thought and opinion.
This is sooo wrong. If major corporations in the country start to promote sexism then I guess its goodbye moderate Pakistan.
Have you been to any of their normal events? How many female visitors do you see? The last one ( Samsung Tab launch) I don't remember seeing more than a few women, and over 60 people were there in all.
No that was kind of encouragnment.
my interest for blogging was kind of shattered until i attended this event. i think blogging is one of those avenues where women can actually be of great contribution, keeping our societal pressures in mind. i hope to see such events coming up in the future. thank you mobilink and wish you all the best for revolutionizing the blogging industry!!
Is there anyone out there who is trying to blog out WikiLeaks' Cables in Urdu? Arabs have done it http://wikileaks-a.blogspot.com Google's Urdu translation is not that helpful. Would love to see Urdu version of WikiLeaks.
I did not know that there are so many female bloggers out there..
Great initiative by Mobilink to do something for just females.
Few days back i received a invitation of Pakistan Top websites.
But i'm not sick mind (as many woman think after read my comment) first support the majority of Internet Blogger which is Male blogger.
jazz is doing action on their behalf, but action on other side is no where to be seen.
Very good effort Mobilink, keep arranging similar kind of events as we female do need events like these.

Lady Berlin, who has died aged 99 , was for more than four decades the adored and adoring wife of Sir Isaiah Berlin; she was also at different times in her life a principal shareholder and director of the Ritz Hotel in Paris and, as Aline de Gunzbourg and then Aline Strauss, a noted amateur golfer in France and England before the Second World War.
Belonging by birth and by her first marriage to the top echelon of French Jewry, she was already a widow with a young son when, in 1941, she escaped from the France of Hitler and Pétain for the safety of the United States. It was during the sea voyage to America that she was first glimpsed by Isaiah Berlin, then on his way to a British government posting in New York; but their marriage still lay 15 years ahead.
Aline Elisabeth Yvonne de Gunzbourg was born on January 4 1915 in London, the youngest of the four children of Baron Pierre de Gunzbourg and his wife Yvonne. The family lived in Paris, but at an early stage of the First World War had moved temporarily to London, fearful that the French capital would be shelled by German artillery. Aline had an English nanny and then governess, and so grew up speaking both English and French.
Her father Pierre was the son of Baron Horace de Gunzburg , the Russian-Jewish banker and philanthropist who received a barony from the Grand Duke of Hesse, whom he served as honorary consul in St Petersburg. It was Horace's father, Evzel Gunzburg (son of the prosperous rabbi of Vitebsk), who made the family fortune, eventually founding banks in Kiev, Odessa and St Petersburg.
One of Baron Horace's many philanthropic enterprises was the celebrated Jewish Encyclopaedia, the compilation of which offered hard-up Jewish writers and scholars the chance to earn some money. It was a work that Isaiah Berlin, as a boy in Russia, read voraciously.
Like other rich Russians of their day, Baron Horace and his parents spent part of every year in Paris, and even elected to be buried there rather than in Russia. Their surname became French in style, with the addition of an "o" after the "b". Much of their wealth, including the family palace on Konnogvardeiskii Boulevard in the centre of St Petersburg, was lost in the wake of the Bolshevik Revolution of October 1917.
Aline's mother, Yvonne, was a daughter of Emile Deutsch de la Meurthe, of A Deutsch et Fils, the pioneering family-owned oil refinery and distribution business with operations across France, Spain, Russia and Austria-Hungary. Emile and his brother foresaw the opportunities for their business offered by the development of the internal combustion engine, and while promoting the French motor and aviation industries also introduced the first petrol pumps to France.
Aline grew up in Paris with her three siblings at 54 avenue d'Iéna, next door to the duc de Mouchy. An immense hôtel particulier that had been built by Emile Deutsch de la Meurthe in 1882, No 54 was later divided into four apartments. Emile occupied the first floor, the Gunzbourgs another, Yvonne's sister Valentine Esmond and her family the third, and Baron Eugène Fould-Springer and his family the fourth.
The Gunzbourg household included two cooks; Alcide, the maitre d'hotel; and footmen, valets, lady's maids and various other staff, as well as the nurses and governesses. The footmen wore the family's dark green livery; the children's prams and the family's cars were painted in the same dark green, the cars with the Gunzbourg arms displayed on the side. A petrol pump was installed in the hôtel courtyard.
The Gunzbourgs also had a house at Garches, to the west of Paris on the edge of the St Cloud country club golf course, where, aged seven, Aline took up the game. She also played golf during family summer holidays with her Esmond cousins at North Berwick in Scotland, and by her late teens was becoming a well-known figure in the golfing world. In 1932 she was runner-up in the English girls' championship at Stoke Poges, losing only at the 19th hole to Pauline Doran.
Two years later, in April 1934, she won the French Ladies' Close Championship (open only to French golfers), the day after she had become engaged to be married. At St Cloud in 1937, now under her married name of Strauss, she again reached the final of this event, but was beaten 4 and 3 by her good friend Mme Renée Lacoste, the mother of the great French golfer Catherine Lacoste.
Aline had married André ("Dédé") Strauss, son of the banker and Impressionist picture collector Jules Strauss, in Paris in October 1934. They had met through Dédé's first cousin Antoinette, who was married to Aline's elder brother Philippe. Following their marriage in the synagogue in the rue de la Victoire, the couple moved into an apartment on the second floor of 54 avenue d'Iéna, where their son Michel was born in September 1936.
As another war loomed, Dédé bought the 17th-century Château de Brécourt in Normandy as a country refuge for his young family. But by then he had been diagnosed with cancer and, although the disease went into remission, he succumbed to it in 1939, four months before the outbreak of war. In his memory Aline gave the Louvre a magnificent 17th-century bronze bust of King Louis XIV as a child.
With the German invasion of France in May 1940, Aline decided to head south. At the wheel of her 1937 black Bentley coupé (with a spare can of petrol in the boot) she drove from Brécourt to Biarritz in a day, but then was unable to obtain the exit visas needed to leave for Spain. In June, with the division of France into Occupied and Unoccupied (Vichy) zones, the Spanish border was closed to all. Brécourt was seized by the Germans.
When Pétain's Vichy regime published the first of its anti-Jewish edicts in October, Aline was at Cannes with her parents and other family members. Having resolved that they must all leave for America, she managed to obtain visas from the American consulate in Nice and, with difficulty, exit visas from the Vichy authorities. She and her little boy then made their way by train to Lisbon and thence to New York, to be followed later by her parents and others.
New York was then filling up with refugees from France, among them Baron Robert de Rothschild and his daughter Cécile. Aline and Cécile played golf together on Long Island, and it was at a house there, in 1942, that Aline was introduced to Isaiah Berlin. She made more of an impression on him than he did on her: she could not follow what he said and thought him rather unprepossessing. He made no greater impression when they met again at a party in New York.
Then, in 1943, Aline met Hans Halban, a nuclear physicist who had escaped from France in 1940. Not long afterwards they were married and went to live in Montreal, where Hans was director of an atomic research laboratory. They were to have two sons, Peter and Philippe. In 1946 they moved to England, where Halban had been appointed to a post at Oxford. They settled at Headington House, and Isaiah Berlin became a regular guest and family friend.
The Halbans' marriage was not wholly happy, and Aline liked Isaiah because he made her laugh. When Isaiah sailed for America in 1949, to go to Harvard, Aline happened again to be on the same ship, now on the way to visit her widowed mother in New York. During the voyage (two days longer than usual because the ship ran aground off Cherbourg) they became inseparable friends, but no more than that.
Isaiah's father, Mendel Berlin, died in December 1953, and a month or two later Isaiah asked Aline to give him a lift up to London, where he had to sort out some of his father's affairs. During the drive up to London, Isaiah declared his feelings for Aline and touched her hand. Although Aline said nothing, she felt moved — and she remembered thinking: "Damn." She began to see Isaiah, but then at Easter 1954, when Isaiah was staying with his mother at Nice, he received a letter from Aline breaking off relations. Hans Halban had overheard a long telephone conversation she had had with Isaiah, and was now threatening to divorce her and to take the children. Isaiah was so distressed that he took to his bed for two days.
Back in Oxford, he received a telephone call from an anguished Aline inviting him to drinks at Headington House. Halban, himself in some anguish, had decided that they should all try to remain on good terms. Soon, though, Aline and Isaiah were seeing each other again. Towards the end of 1954 Hans Halban accepted an offer from the French government to head a nuclear physics laboratory in Paris; Aline said she could not accompany him.
They agreed to a formal separation, and a fortnight later Isaiah Berlin proposed to Aline in the Oxford botanical garden. When her mother, who had met, and liked, Isaiah, heard that Aline was to marry him, she exclaimed: "Mais il est inépousable!" But once Aline's divorce from Hans Halban had been finalised, they were married, on February 7 1956, at Hampstead Synagogue. Isaiah was knighted the next year.
During more than 40 years of marriage thereafter, the Berlins did everything they could together, in Oxford, where Isaiah became the founding president of Wolfson College, and further afield. With their base at Headington House, they also had a flat in London (a set of rooms in Albany) and they built a house at Paraggi, above Porto Fino on the Ligurian coast of Italy. They had a very extensive circle of friends and an active social life.
There were annual visits to New York and Jerusalem, and wherever they went as the years went by they were feted at receptions and dinners. They attended countless concerts, operas and music festivals, seldom missing a season at Glyndebourne, Salzburg or Pesaro. They attended as many of their friend Alfred Brendel's concerts as they could. Isaiah would describe his recreations as "my wife and listening to music".
Aline Berlin's connection with the Ritz Hotel in Paris came about through her father's first cousin Baron Jacques de Gunzbourg, who was one of the hotel's founders. When Jacques's son Nicky, the socialite, decided to dispose of the Ritz shares he had inherited, Aline's father bought them and gave them to her. Her fellow shareholders and directors included Charles Ritz and Stavros Niarchos. Eventually the hotel was sold to Mohamed Fayed.
Sir Isaiah died in 1997. Two years later Lady Berlin travelled to Latvia, when the country's authorities installed a commemorative plaque on Isaiah's childhood home in Riga. As a trustee of the Isaiah Berlin Literary Trust she was instrumental in the continuing publication of Sir Isaiah's work and letters, a process which gave her the greatest pleasure.
A frail, elegant figure, always immaculately dressed, Lady Berlin continued to travel, and to keep up a busy social life well into her eighties. She tended to avoid large gatherings, but would think nothing of a day-trip to Paris. Latterly, as her activities became restricted by increasing ill health, she none the less continued to receive a steady stream of devoted family members and friends.
Lady Berlin is survived by her three sons.

This Article will answer the following questions?
What is Adblue / Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)?
What does Adblue / DEF do and how does it reduce NOx?
Why does Adblue need to be a pure 32.5% urea solution and why is it important to test it to ISO22241-2?
Why do I need to use a supplier that uses as independent lab to verify the Adblue quality?
AdBlue or Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is a solution of 32.5% Urea in de-ionised water. It is sprayed into the exhaust system of modern engines as part of a selective catalytic reduction system (SCR) to reduce NOx (nitrogen oxides) emissions from the exhaust that cause acid rain and lung problems.
How is NOx made that Adblue removes?
Modern diesel engines run with a lean fuel to air ratio, which reduces un-burnt fuel being sent out the exhaust. However, this also means that the heavy air laden mixture containing predominantly nitrogen at high temperatures of combustion can form NOx.
Adblue is one of two commonly used methods to reduce NOx emissions as part of a SCR. The other being Exhaust Gas Re-circulation (EGR) systems that recirculate the exhaust gases with lower oxygen content to reduce peak cylinder temperatures and hence NOx production, but this requires strict maintenance of diesel particulate filters as less oxygen means more un-burnt fuel. In some engines both technologies are used to achieve the ever tightening emission standards.
How does Adblue work to remove NOx?
Adblue works by decomposing to Ammonia and Carbon dioxide at high temperatures of the exhaust. The Ammonia (NH3) in the presence of oxygen (O2) in the air plus the catalyst forms Nitrogen (N2) and water (H2O).
Vehicles with a SCR system have a sensor that detects the presence of NOx, which triggers a spray of Adblue into the exhaust.
Why is urea used rather than Ammonia as CO2 is just a waste product and it's the ammonia doing the work?
The problem is transport. Ammonia is a more restricted substance to transport than urea and being a gas means it would need to transported under high pressure. Ammonia has an extremely strong smelling salts type odour, and in an enclosed space could knock someone out. It is also a flammable gas. Hence it is only wanted to be produced in small quantities when required. Because urea is safer to transport, the CO2 bi-product as a greenhouse gas is a necessary compromise and equally since the CO2 was absorbed from the atmosphere to make urea it is net carbon neutral. Ammonia is measured in new product by the Alkalinity as NH3 test.
Why does Urea need to be 32.5%?
This mixture gives the best freeze point for the fluid at approx -11'C in which both the urea and water freeze at the same time. This means that the AdBlue concentration will not change and become diluted or over concentrated based on the weather as the solution freezes and thaws.
Why does it need to be pure?
Your catalytic converter is extremely susceptible to certain elements and compounds that even at low concentrations can poison the catalyst over times. In fact, my father was involved in investigating some of the earlier cases of this happening back in 2007/2008 in Europe for some major vehicle manufacturers where catalyst poisons were leading to cement type material forming on the bricks (see below – What is Biuret?) These poisons include is Phosphate (PO4), commonly found in other urea products like fertilisers, Sodium found in engine coolants and salt water and calcium and magnesium found in tap water. These are all extremely easy to introduce as low levels and hence the quality of production process has to be tightly controlled to ensure only the purest urea solutions go on sale as Adblue. Even after sale, contamination control is still important such as ensuring containers used for engine coolant containing either sodium or potassium are not also used for Adblue, and that storage containers are ideally plastic as Adblue is caustic to metals such as Copper and Aluminium which when dissolved are also catalyst poisons. Equally, cross contamination with other products such as diesel also greatly impact the effectiveness of Adblue.
Biuret or carbonylurea has been a known impurity of urea solutions for decades where the reaction ends up joining two urea molecules together. It was classically monitored to keep low in the fertiliser industry before the use of Adblue as Biuret is damaging to crops. In SCR systems Biuret becomes a problem because it can polymerise further in the exhaust and coat catalyst bricks with a cement type material that prevents the catalyst from working. This prevents NOx being removed and causes a viscous cycle of more Adblue being sprayed in overdosed quantities causing more polymer to be formed eventually painting the bricks with a cement like material. The issue is compounded when the Adblue also contains catalyst poisons that lead to even more Adblue being sprayed into the exhaust.
Why should AdBlue be tested to ISO 22241-2?
ISO 22241-2 is the current used standard across Europe for AUS32 (chemical name for Adblue as Adblue is a trade name which is now the common usage term for the solution). The localised German Standard DIN70070 has now been largely superseded by its ISO 22241-2 counterpart in terms of limit thresholds. It is mandatory for new Adblue to be tested to the specification to be sold as ISO 22241-2 compliant. Some Adblue manufacturers may choose to perform all their testing in house, whilst others choose to use an independent lab to perform the analysis to prove the analysis is completely impartial. Analysis of each batch before sale ensures the quality of the Adblue meets the high quality standards of the ISO 22241-2 specification. Once sold, regular testing from bulk storage and vehicle tanks for common contaminants that may have happened after sale becomes critical, so measuring the urea content to confirm it has not been diluted, elemental analysis to detect presence of catalyst poisons and detection of fuel/oil in the sample are also important.
The testing limits for ISO 22241-2 are as follows together when it is recommended to test for these parameters.
Why do I need to use a supplier that uses an independent lab for quality control?
As with any product you buy you want the confidence it is of a high quality. All Adblue manufacturers will test their own products before shipping to confirm the quality of their own production processes. However if the testing is performed in-house the verification that the product passed the ISO specification cannot by definition be considered in any way impartial.
Considering in the early days of Adblue manufacture that hundreds of millions of pounds worth of vehicles catalytic converters across Europe were poisoned by poor quality and contaminated Adblue the importance to confirm the product is of a high quality becomes even more essential.
Even with most manufacturing accreditations it is not mandatory (only recommended) for Adblue manufacturers to impartially test their products. That is why the most reputable suppliers choose to go the extra mile and differentiate themselves from the competition and give the extra proof that their product is not damaging to vehicle catalysts.
So when choosing your Adblue supplier don't forget to confirm they regularly use an independent lab to verify their product quality in addition to any in-house testing they perform.

Papillomas
What Is Papilloma and Why Does It Appear?
Brandith Irwin autor Papillomas.org
What Is Intraductal Papilloma and How to Remove It Effectively?
What is intraductal papilloma? Intraductal papilloma (papillary cystadenomas, cystadenopapillomas) is a benign papillary outgrowth arising from the epithelium of the ducts of the mammary gland. They can develop at any age — from puberty to postmenopause. The frequency of detection of cystadenopapillus in mammology is about 10% among the total number of tumor-like diseases of the breast.
Macroscopically, the intraductal papilloma of the mammary gland resembles a cystic mass with nipple growths. Papillomas are easily injured, and the bloody fluid released during this process enters the excretory ducts and is excreted out of the nipple. Hemorrhages and necrosis are possible in the area of the tumor; multiple intraductal papillomas of the mammary gland are often malignant.

How Is the Intraductal Papilloma Surgery Performed?
What Papilloma Intraductal Preventive Measures Should You Take?
Papillary cystadenomas of the mammary gland can develop in any part of the ductal system — from the nipple to the terminal duct-lobular structural units. Based on localization, central papillomas, located in the areola area, and peripheral are distinguished. Despite the fact that in many cases, papillomas are benign, there may be atypical intraductal papilloma, which has the atypical cellular proliferation.
Intraductal papilloma of breast can be single (solitary) and multiple; their sizes vary from a few millimeters to 1-2 cm in diameter. Solitary papillary tumors are more often localized in the subareolar region; multiple — closer to the periphery of the gland.
Multiple intraductal papilloma of the mammary gland is characterized by a high potential possibility of malignancy. As a rule, intraductal papilloma with atypia, intracystic or intraductal papillary breast cancer arises from the factors mentioned above.
What causes intraductal papilloma? The determining factor leading to the development of intraductal papilloma pathology outlines is hormonal imbalance. The development of intraductal papilloma of the mammary gland can be triggered by any changes in hormonal homeostasis: ovarian dysfunction, oophoritis, adnexitis, abortions, obesity, stress, etc. Women at risk for developing intraductal papilloma of the mammary gland are nonsmoking, smokers. To a lesser extent the development of breast tumors are susceptible to patients with children who are breastfed, using hormonal contraception.
As a rule, intraductal papilloma causes include the development of papillary cystadenomas against the background of the existing fibrocystic (nodular or diffuse) mastopathy. As a result of mastopathy, a local expansion of the mammary gland ducts occurs, in which papillary growths occur. In patients with sclerosing intraductal papilloma, a family history of tumor lesions of the mammary glands of a malignant or benign nature is often traced.
The first clinical intraductal papilloma symptoms include the appearance of heavy discharge from the nipple of a different nature. Check intraductal papilloma images to know how they look like. There may be a green breast discharge intraductal papilloma. The discharge may be clear, whitish, greenish, brown, or bloody.
The breast intraductal papilloma can be felt when it is located in the main duct. In this case, palpation in the area of the areola felt a rounded knot of elastic consistency, slightly painful when it is pressed. Squeezing the nodule is accompanied by the release of bloody drops from the nipple and a decrease in the tumor. With the development of secondary inflammation, intraductal papillomas symptoms change: the tumor node becomes denser, swelling of the surrounding tissues develops.
Carcinoma is a type of malignant neoplasm that develops from epithelial cells. The most common areas of carcinoma localization are the surface of the skin (basal cell carcinoma), the vagina (vaginal cancer, cervical cancer), liver, stomach, and the mammary gland.
Statistics of modern cancer indicates a disappointing increase in the incidence of malignant breast tumors. According to the WHO, this type of oncology has a proven hereditary predisposition, but about 68% of the patients who applied did not have diagnosed carcinoma of the breast in two generations for both parents. This cancer is called sporadic and is caused by a number of external causes. Compared to the malignant intraductal papilloma, the chances to save the female breast are higher if being diagnosed with carcinoma.
In the diagnosis of intraductal papilloma of the intraductal papilloma with apocrine metaplasia , the doctor focuses on the symptoms of the disease (discharge from the nipple) and the data of examination and palpation. When palpating, an elastic nodule of a round shape can be found in the area of the areola, slightly painful when pressed. Squeezing the node leads to the release of blood drops from the nipple, while the size of the tumor is reduced.
To clarify the diagnosis, intraductal papilloma pictures aren't enough. The following studies are performed before the intraductal papilloma removal:
mammography,
ductography (contrast radiography of the milky ducts);
intraductal papilloma ultrasound ;
cytological analysis of smears from the nipple;
a blood test for breast cancer tumor markers;
Conducting an ultrasound, mammography and MRI of the mammary gland does not allow to examine the milky ducts but it helps to differentiate the intraductal papilloma from breast cancer. Also, in the process of diagnosis, it is necessary to exclude galactorrhea that occurs during prolactinoma.
Is intraductal papilloma cancer ?Intraductal papilloma (intraductal papilloma, Mintz disease, Schimelbush disease) is a benign epithelial tumor, which is located in the lumen of the milky duct of the breast. It is more common in women whose age is about 35-45 years. Intraductal papilloma can be single or multiple. A single growth has a benign course.
What is intraductal papilloma prognosis? Multiple formations have a relatively high tendency to scorch. It should also be said that papillomas, which are located in the peripheral parts of the mammary gland, have a high risk of malignancy. Tumor sizes can be variable, from a few millimeters to several centimeters. Proceed from the epithelium of the milky ducts, can have both narrow and wide base. Morphologically, they are practically no different in structure from ordinary papillomas.
Given the intraductal papilloma cancer risk, surgical treatment is recommended, which consists in performing sectoral resection of the gland together with a growth. When the process of malignancy starts- treatment tactics should be chosen in accordance with the principles of treatment of breast cancer. Not very noticeable, but rather a dangerous female disease — intraductal papilloma of the mammary gland — has other names: cystadenopapilloma, papillary cystadenoma. Multiple symptoms of intraductal papilloma are particularly dangerous, which over time can transform into intraductal or intracystic breast cancer, which is why it is necessary to diagnose a disease that is harmless in appearance as early as possible and prescribe surgery to remove intraductal papilloma.
Since intraductal papilloma refers to precancerous lesions of the mammary gland, only surgical intraductal papilloma treatment is prescribed. Such papillomas rarely disappear on their own, moreover, they are dangerous inflammatory complications and the development of malignant tumors. The intraductal papilloma management is performed under general intravenous anesthesia. If intraductal papilloma icd 10 is located in the central region of the breast, the nipple is retained. In the peripheral areas, intraductal papilloma excision is usually performed. In case of papillary cystadenoma, a sectoral resection of the mammary gland is performed, during which tissues with altered ducts are removed.
Usually, the surgery for intraductal papilloma is performed through a periareolar incision, which further does not affect the size and shape of the breast and eliminates the need for mammoplasty. If an intraductal papillary cancer is detected, the only treatment for intraductal papilloma is the radical mastectomy. Intraductal papilloma surgery recovery period depends on the type of the procedure. During the intraductal papilloma surgery recovery time, you should follow the recommendations of your doctor concerning the intraductal papilloma emedicine, which will include pain killers, and the choice of the suitable bra.
To prevent the development of intraductal papilloma breast and avoid the surgical removal of intraductal papilloma, it is possible with the help of the regular mammology examination, timely treatment of mastitis, inflammatory and dyshormonal disorders of the female genital tract. For the early detection of tumor changes, systematic self-control is recommended, including palpation examination of the mammary glands. The main measure of prevention is a careful attitude of a woman to her health. The following activities are required:
regular examination by a gynecologist;
After 35 years of age, mammography needs to be performed regularly;
timely treatment of pelvic inflammatory diseases, as well as dyshormonal diseases;
self-examination of the mammary glands for the early detection of any tumors;
giving up bad habits (especially smoking).
It is noted that the incidence of intraductal papilloma of the mammary gland and some other tumors of the female genital area is markedly reduced in women who have given birth and breastfed.

Tottenham Transfer Rumours
Tottenham Hotspur have set their sights on Dusan Vlahovic
by George Cannon	share
3 minute read	 21/8/2021 | 05:05pm
Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic this summer, although any potential move will hinge on the future of Harry Kane.
What's the story?
According to Italian outlet La Repubblica (as relayed by Sport Witness), Spurs 'still insist on Vlahovic' as the club's hierarchy search for potential successors for the wantaway Kane.
The 28-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Premier League champions Manchester City throughout the summer, and the report claims that the Cityzens are also interested in Vlahovic if they can't land the England captain in the current window.
Would Vlahovic be a good signing?
Tottenham fans will be buzzing
After joining Fiorentina from boyhood club Partizan Belgrade in 2018, Vlahovic has established himself as one of the most promising young strikers in Serie A following an incredible 2020/21 campaign. The £36m-rated gem bagged 21 goals and provided two assists in 37 Serie A appearances last term, attracting the attention of some of the continent's biggest clubs.
In a recent interview with This Is Futbol, Serie A expert Conor Clancy revealed his admiration for Vlahovic despite not having a good first impression of the 21-year-old marksman.
He said: "(He's) incredible, and it really caught me by surprise because I'd seen him play in the flesh a few times, and he scored a great goal against Inter and there was a lot of hype in Florence about him. People were saying this guy's the real deal, and I just couldn't see it."
We bet you can't get 100% on this big LFC 2020/21 season review quiz! Burnley ended Liverpool's 68-game unbeaten run at home back in January, but who scored the only goal?
Chris Wood
Ashley Barnes
Dwight McNeil
Ashley Weswood
After seeing him flourish in Florence, Clancy went into more detail regarding the Serbia international's key attributes, explaining what Spurs can expect should they make a move for Vlahovic this summer.
"He's just a complete number nine, and I know it's just off the back of one season, but he's strong, can link play up, can hold the ball up, and most importantly, he's scoring goals. He's one of those players that when he looks confident, you almost expect him to score every time he plays," he concluded.
Therefore, it's no surprise that Tottenham's new director of football Fabio Paratici is plotting a potential move for the highly-rated Fiorentina gem.
While Kane's exit would be met with hysteria in certain sections of the Spurs fanbase, a large section will be buzzing to learn of their keen interest in a potential world-class finisher such as Vlahovic. His arrival could mark a new chapter in the club's history, and it could be the beginning of a bright future, one which might leave Spurs fans buzzing.

Comments and insights on the name Ashley
Ashley really is a beautiful name when you think about it. It's a shame it's been so stereotyped and overused.
The name Ashley is actually still relatively popular in the UK. The same goes for many other masculine names Americans have turned feminine, including Mackenzie and Courtney.
Ashley and Halsey are anagrams of each other; they contain the same letters.
Having the nickname Ash, you get to forever cosplay the crap out of Ash Ketchum (Pokemon)! "Gotta ketchum all!" And also I feel bad because Ashley was also a name back in the days to say "the dumb blondies"
Personal experiences with the name Ashley
My name is Ashley. When I was little, I hated it. But I embraced it as I aged. I didn't have too many other Ashley's in my life so I never had to deal with being one of a million Ashley's. Even when there were other Ashley's, we all went by nick-names or last names. The only negative experiences I've had with the name were in Elementary school when mean kids somehow found ways to twist it, thus resulting in Ash-tray. But overall, it was a good, solid name that ppl know how to spell and is easy to live with.
Mean kids can also call it ASS-ley.
My best friend's name is Ashley. Unfortunately, so are many girls in my class year.
My experiences with Ashley's have been good and bad. I've met some nice Ashley's and some not so nice Ashley's; I think it's a very variable name that doesn't fit stereotypes.
Well, as there are so-o-o many girls named Ashley around, you're going to meet all kinds - good and bad! It's not like you meet a girl with a not-so-common name, who may be the only girl you've ever met with that name and she's mean and obnoxious, naturally you're going to associate that name with a girl you don't like. But Ashley is different because there are so many Ashleys that you can't judge somebody named Ashley by someone you don't like.
My best friend is named Ashley, and she is one of the sweetest and down-to-earth people I know.
When I was in school back in the 50's, everybody was named Judy! There were at least 5 Judy's in every one of my classes. Every family had a Judy. Now every family has an Ashley or a Jennifer!
I can't even count how many Ashley's I have known, all I know is that it's a lot! I am good friends with at least three of them! 99% of Ashley's I've known were females, but I know a guy name this spelled Ashlee, and he's one of the three I am good friends with (and dated). I met Ashley G in Kindergarten. I met Ashley C and Ashlee M in highschool.
I'm an Ashley, and born in '88, at the begining of the trend. I mostly dislike it because I've known too many Ashley's. One year in my dance class 5 out of 10 of us were Ashley - way too much! And 2 of my friends in high school had the name too. I've joked that every girl and her best friend are named Ashley. I'd rather have a less-used, more unique name. I dislike that so many people have the same name as me. By the way, I've always hated when people call me Ash.
My name is Ashley Elise and born in 1988. I definitely grew up with several other Ashley's since elementary school and in college I met even more- one class I had five Ashley's! I grew into my name and I like the beauty of it. My family calls me Ash 99% of the time. Few friends say Ashley and my coworkers call me Ashley as well. My dad sometimes pronounces it Ash-shuh-lay.
My name is Ashley, born in 2001. I honestly could care less about my name. It doesn't define me as a person.
My name is Ashley, though it is not that popular when I was born. Hope no one will call me Ash any more, otherwise it's good.(Still I'm glad no one call me trash). My sister are called Emily,I wonder why an Emily is often an Ashley's sister.
Because they both end with "ly".
One of my best friend's names is Ashley. I usually would just call her Ash since I know a lot of Ashleys. She is super talkative but very trustworthy. I can tell her anything and she won't tell a soul.

10,000 Small Businesses is a philanthropic initiative launched by Goldman Sachs and the Goldman Sachs Foundation in November 2009 that pledges $500 million in various aid to small businesses in the United States, United Kingdom, and France.  The initiative aims to provide 10,000 small businesses with assistance – ranging from business and management education and mentoring to access to capital and business support services. Goldman Sachs' CEO Lloyd Blankfein, Berkshire Hathaway's Warren Buffett and Harvard Business School professor Michael Porter are the chairs of the program's advisory council. The program was launched in the face of mounting criticism over Goldman Sachs' large bonus payouts after repaying (with interest) $10 billion in TARP funds it received from the U.S. Treasury. According to the company, the small business initiative had been in development a year before the initial launch, and is modeled after its 10,000 Women Initiative, which has helped educate female entrepreneurs in 43 countries.
According to a January 2013 report by Babson College, 63.7% of program participants in the United States reported an increase in revenue and 44.8% added new jobs following graduation.

Program Overview
Under the plan, Goldman will provide $200 million to pay for small-business owners to get business and management education at local community colleges – the first program being at LaGuardia Community College in Queens, New York. Additionally, the program allocates $300 million in loans and grants to small businesses.

As of September 2013, small business owners in all 50 states can apply to the program through an online curriculum or at one of 13 community college sites. Networking and mentoring will be offered through partnerships with national and local business organizations, as well as employees of Goldman Sachs.

Additionally, in 2010 Goldman Sachs launched 10,000 Small Businesses UK which is offered in Yorkshire, the North West, the Midlands and London and its partners include Saïd Business School (University of Oxford), Leeds University Business School, Manchester Metropolitan University Business School, Aston Business School and University College London (UCL).

Selection criteria
The plan targets companies employing at least four full-time employees and with revenue of at least $150,000 in the most recent fiscal year. Eligible companies have to have been operating for at least two years and work "predominantly in under served markets."

Partners
The partner institutions and organizations include establishments in both academia and nonprofit sectors, as well as mission driven capital lenders.

Social media
In February 2014 the Twitter handle @GS10KSmallBiz was launched by Goldman Sachs. In December 2015 the account had over 18,000 followers. Profiles of the 10,000 Small Businesses graduates can be viewed on the Goldman Sachs YouTube playlist titled: Meet the Owners: 10,000 Small Businesses in the US.

The three-day 2014 J&P Cycles Open House Rally is in the books! In case you weren't able to attend this year's colossal event, here's a little preview of what you missed! The dates for next year are June 27-28, 2015!


To apply: ensure the hoof is clean, dry, and free from oils and greases. Apply with internal brush to the hoof wall below the coronet band, including the sole and frog if desired, on a daily basis. Ideally use before exposure to wet or muddy conditions. Dries in minutes with a non-sticky, clear finish.


identification, treatment, and referral protocols of U.S. health care service provider institutions. A total of 30 protocols from 19 states and 2 national organizations were analyzed. Across the protocols, the most commonly listed indicator of HT victimization was patient history of physical- or sexual-abuse victimization, Which was included in 73% of the protocols. In addition, the majority (70%) of the protocols listed ≥ 1 medical-symptom indicator of HT victimization (e.g., bruises, scars, frequent injuries), ≥ 1 indicator based on a patient's apparent dependence on another person (e.g., patient not in control of personal identification), and ≥ 1 indicator related to how the patient communicates (e.g., inconsistencies in the patient's story about his or her medical condition). A smaller proportion of protocols included indicators of HT that pertained to housing (60%), the patient's appearance (47%), the patient's mental health (63%), sexual history (63%), or technology-related indicators such as the patient possessing explicit digital photos of himself or herself with another person (20%). We conclude that additional research is needed to establish ideal protocol content but propose that in the interim protocol developers consider using practice-informed and evidence-based information that pertain to six areas of victim identification and assistance.
