From the archives 2005: Top 10 Habs - No. 7 Bernard Geoffrion: The Boomer
Editor's note: This story was originally published in January 2005.
When the NHL lockout finally ends, Red Fisher will begin his 50th season on the Canadiens beat. In this feature series, which concludes today, Red picks his Top 10 Habs from the last half-century.
MONTREAL - Bernard Geoffrion had awakened at 5 o'clock on this mid-March morning in 1961 and glanced at his wife, Marlene. Her eyes were open. "What's the matter," he asked. "Why aren't you sleeping?" "I'm so nervous about tonight ... I can't sleep," she said. "You're not playing the game, I am," he replied, "so go to sleep." Geoffrion had scored his 49th goal in his previous game, the regular season's 67th, so now with the Toronto Maple Leafs visiting the Forum on the eve of St. Patrick's Day, he was one goal away from matching the astonishing record of 50 goals in a season, established 16 years earlier by Maurice Richard in 50 games. The season's largest crowd at the Forum had come to see the Canadiens win.
They were going into the game one point ahead of the Leafs with three remaining in the 70-game regular season. Mostly, though, they were there to see the Boomer, playing in his 62nd game of the season, become only the second player in NHL history to score 50 goals.
The Leafs had put Bert Olmstead on Geoffrion, a former Canadien who had held Gordie Howe off the scoresheet some years earlier when he had reached the 49-goal mark. And for two periods, Olmstead worked his magic, holding Geoffrion to only one shot in each period.
At the 14-minute mark of the third, Geoffrion was still trying for the goal. Jean Beliveau tossed the puck out to him from behind the net, and for once, Geoffrion was in front of Cesare Maniago without Olmstead to bother him. Maniago, who had been parachuted into the game from the Eastern Professional Hockey League to replace an ailing Johnny Bower, made the first move - leaving for Boom Boom what amounted to an empty net. His short shot hit the post.
"I thought I was finished after that," Geoffrion was to mention after the game.
As it developed, Beliveau was to start the play leading to The Goal, winning a faceoff in the circle, dealing to Gilles Tremblay, who in turn delivered a seeing-eye pass to Geoffrion, once again alone in front of Maniago. This time, Geoffrion didn't miss the open side of the net with his fourth shot of the final period, his sixth of the game.
What followed, while the noise exploded from the sold-out crowd of more than 15,000, was an outpouring of emotion from the players. They leaped on Geoffrion in a red torrent, knocking him off his feet, pounding him on the back as he lay there, tousling his hair while a deluge of rubbers, programs and hats rained onto the Forum ice. Geoffrion, who was to win his second scoring title that season with a career-high 95 points, was in tears while enjoying the finest moment of a career that once brought him perilously close to death's door.
Years earlier, Geoffrion was being checked closely during a Canadiens practice. Andre Pronovost, a young player, was left staggering after bodychecking Geoffrion, who continued skating. A minute later, Geoffrion collapsed to the ice.
Geoffrion, who played 13 seasons and part of a 14th with the Canadiens, was a great kidder, so at first the players thought he was having a little fun at their expense. He thrashed around while the players hovered over him.
"Get up," Pronovost said with a laugh. "Quit fooling around."
There was no response from Geoffrion.
Sports therapist Bill Head rushed to Geoffrion, who by that time was breathing with great difficulty. Head immediately noticed this was no laughing matter.
"What happened here?" Head yelled. "Let's get him out of here and over to the hospital."
In a matter of minutes, Geoffrion was being wheeled into the Herbert Reddy Memorial Hospital across the street from the Forum, where a quick diagnosis pointed to a ruptured bowel. Even as he was being prepared for surgery, last rites were administered. The next day, team doctor Larry Hampson reported: "Geoffrion spent a comfortable night. He went through a delicate, painful operation that probably will keep him from playing again this season."
Geoffrion left hospital six weeks later and, against the advice of doctors, insisted on returning to the lineup for a playoff series against the Boston Bruins. He scored twice in the first game and was an important contributor to the Canadiens' third consecutive Stanley Cup among the record five in a row they were to win in the late 1950s.
Right-winger Geoffrion joined the Canadiens for 18 games in 1951, won the Calder the following season as top rookie with 30 goals and 24 assists in 67 games, and went on to score 371 goals with Montreal and another 22 with the New York Rangers after coaching the Quebec Aces for two seasons. He was to become one of the elite players in the league, but it was always a source of concern to him that no matter how well he played, despite winning the Art Ross Trophy twice, he was always in Richard's shadow. The Boomer was among the very best, but The Rocket was everything. Geoffrion lived with it, but didn't like it.
Sadly, what he couldn't live with was coaching an NHL team.
He had come out of retirement to play 117 games with the Rangers. Then, in a stunning move, he was behind the Rangers bench for the start of the 1968-69 season. But two months into it, ulcers forced him to quit. Four years later, he was named the Atlanta Flames' first coach, but left a little more than two years later. Too much pressure, he explained. Still, on Sept. 4, 1979, he was introduced as Canadiens coach - a successor to Scotty Bowman, who had quit in a huff after leading the team to four consecutive Stanley Cups.
There were reservations from a lot of people about the appointment. If pressure had forced Geoffrion out of two previous coaching jobs, how could he handle the heat in Montreal? It's true Geoffrion, the player, liked the media and they liked him because he always had something to say. He was entertaining, if only because he never allowed the facts to intrude into a good story, but coaching was another matter.
"This is the dream of my life," he gushed to a roomful of media persons. He had said the same thing after accepting the coaching jobs with the Rangers and Flames, but this time the "dream of my life" was with a dream team that had won four consecutive Stanley Cups.
"I'll do everything possible to win a fifth straight Stanley Cup with this team," he told his audience. "I've been trying to get back here for 12 years and, now that I'm here, I plan to finish my years here. I'm signed for three years, but if they like my work, I'll be here longer. I'm not afraid to face challenges. I'm afraid of nothing! Any questions?"
He was asked about his health.
"Everywhere I go, people ask me about my health," he growled. "Let me just say this about my health once and for all: I'm sick and tired (he paused waiting for the laughter which came quickly) of answering that question. My health is 1,000 per cent better than when I was playing. Now don't ask me about my health any more.
"What about your health?" he asked the reporter who had asked the question.
More Laughter. Geoffrion always knew how to work a crowd.
Seven games into the season (six victories and a tie), Geoffrion already was feeling the heat.
"Those guys, they're gonna put me in my coffin," he told me.
Thirteen days before Christmas ... boom! he quit.

CARSON, Calif. – After defeating the Philadelphia Union, 1-0, at PPL Park on Thursday to remain a top of the MLS standings, the LA Galaxy return home to take on the Colorado Rapids Saturday night at The Home Depot Center in a game that will be shown tape delayed on Prime Ticket. The game, which is presented by Bank of America, kicks off at 7:30 p.m. with the first 10,000 fans receiving a reusable Galaxy Cinch Sack. In addition, Radio Disney artist Josh Golden will be performing a live concert on the SoccerFest stage beginning at 6:30 p.m.
With one more win, the Galaxy can clinch the 2010 MLS Supporters' Shield and home field advantage throughout the playoffs. A victory over Colorado or Dallas in one the final two games of the season would give the Galaxy 59 points, and neither Real Salt Lake nor FC Dallas would be able to match this total.
Saturday's game against the Rapids will be broadcast on tape delay on Prime Ticket beginning with the Galaxy Live pregame show at 8 p.m. In addition, the game will be available live on the radio locally on KTLK 1150 AM in English and ESPN Deportes Radio 1330 AM in Spanish.
Thursday, October 7, 2010: Galaxy 1 – Philadelphia Union 0 – PPL Park – Attendance: 18,779
The Galaxy defeated the Philadelphia Union, 1-0, to claim their 17th win of the season and set a new club record for most wins in a season since the end of the shootout-era following the 1999 season on Thursday at PPL Park. Edson Buddle gave the Galaxy the lead in the 27th minute with his MLS-best 16th goal of the season, while David Beckham earned his first assist of the season.
OUT – None
DOUBTFUL – None
QUESTIONABLE – Gregg Berhalter (Neck – Strain), Dema Kovalenko (Right Adductor – Strain), Leonardo (Left Quad – Strain)
PROBABLE – None
PLAYOFF SCENARIOS: If the Galaxy win on Saturday, they will clinch the Supporters' Shield, First Place in the Western Conference for the regular season and home-field advantage throughout the Playoffs. Due to the Galaxy's 1-0 win in Philadelphia and draws by Real Salt Lake and FC Dallas, the Galaxy can finish no lower than second place in the West and therefore have clinched home-field advantage in the Western Conference Semifinal Series.
The Galaxy can still clinch all of the above with a tie and if Real Salt Lake and FC Dallas play to a draw or FC Dallas defeats Real Salt Lake. Salt Lake and Dallas, the two teams still with a mathematical chance of surpassing the Galaxy for the Supporters' Shield, kick off their game 90 minutes prior to Galaxy versus Colorado.
Regardless of score in the Salt Lake-Dallas game, the Galaxy cannot clinch the Supporters' Shield with a loss to Colorado.
Due to having home-field advantage for the Western Conference Semifinal Series, the Galaxy will play the first-leg of the series on the road, Oct. 28 to Oct. 31, and host the second leg, tentatively scheduled to be played Nov. 4 through Nov. 7.
BUDDLE SETS NEW CAREER-HIGH: Edson Buddle's 27th minute goal against Philadelphia on Thursday was the 16th of the season for Buddle, breaking his previous career-high set in 2008. Buddle now has two more goals than San Jose's Chris Wondolowski this season in the race for the Budweiser Golden Boot. He is aiming to join Landon Donovan (in 2008) and Carlos Ruiz (in 2002) as the only Galaxy players ever to finish as the league's top goalscorer.
Buddle has scored 10 of his 16 goals this season at home while nine of the 16 have come against Western Conference opposition.
BECKHAM EARNS FIRST ASSIST: Making just his fifth appearance of 2010 and his third start, David Beckham assisted on the game-winning goal, sending a corner kick into the box for Buddle to head home. The assist was Beckham's first of the season and first in a Galaxy regular season game since a 2-0 win vs. Toronto FC on September 19, 2009.
LA now have five goals direct from a corner kick this season, with Buddle scoring three of those. The Galaxy last scored directly from a corner kick on September 4 at Chicago, with Omar Gonzalez heading home a Landon Donovan corner in the first minute of second half stoppage time to gain a 1-1 draw against the Fire.
RICKETTS EQUALS HARTMAN: With the clean sheet last Thursday against the Union, goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts has now tied Kevin Hartman's club record for most shutouts in a season with 11.
This was also the Galaxy's 12th shutout in MLS play this season, tying the club record for most shutouts by the team in a single season, a record set in 2009.
Philadelphia were the 11th different team to be shutout by the Galaxy this season.
SUPPORTING BREAST CANCER AWARENESS: The LA Galaxy in conjunction with MLS W.O.R.K.S., Major League Soccer's community outreach initiative, will show their support for the fight against cancer by hosting Breast Cancer Awareness Night Saturday at The Home Depot Center. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Galaxy players will have special pink MLS W.O.R.K.S. ribbon patches applied to their jerseys, Galaxy coaches will have pink scarves to walk out to the field with and some players will wear pink cleats to showcase their support. Additionally, the match will be played with commemorative pink adidas Jabulani match balls and players will use pink sideline towels. After the match, game-worn autographed jerseys as well as other memorabilia will be available for auction to raise funds for cancer research and treatment.
GALAXY TO HOST CLOTHING DRIVE ON OCT. 16: Prior to the to LA Galaxy's game against the Colorado Rapids on Saturday, October 16, the Galaxy will be hosting a Clothing Drive to benefit the Union Rescue Mission.

On Saturday, Erik Gonzalez' goal was all the Galaxy U-16's needed to earn their second consecutive victory in the season, a 1-0 win against De Anza Forze while the U-18's fell 3-1 with the lone strike coming from Eric Verso. It was a different story on Sunday as both teams won the next day. The U-16s defeated the Santa Cruz Breakers Academy in a high scoring affair with goals from Sean Dhillon, Drew Murphy and two goals from Jack McBean. Meanwhile, the U-18s also were on fire earning the 4-0 win, behind two goals from Juan "Crabby" Gutierrez and one a piece from Angel Ayala and Neil Ignacio.
On Saturday afternoon, both Galaxy teams will take on the Seattle Sounders FC Academy before playing Cross Fire Premier the following day at The Home Depot Center.
While the U-16's and U-18's have returned to Southern California, both Galaxy U-14 teams will again be in action.

Here are a few novels that explore the triumphs and struggles of creating a life in a new land:
- Brooklyn Colm Toibin Hauntingly beautiful, Tóibín's sixth novel is set in Brooklyn and Ireland in the early 1950s, when one young woman crosses the ocean to make a new life for herself. Eilis Lacey has come of age in small-town Ireland. Though skilled at bookkeeping, she cannot find a job in the miserable economy. When an Irish priest from Brooklyn offers to sponsor Eilis in America, she decides she must go, leaving her fragile mother and her charismatic sister behind. Library Journal says, "Toibin conveys Eilis's transformative struggles with an aching lyricism reminiscent of the mature Henry James and ultimately confers upon his readers a sort of grace that illuminates the opportunities for tenderness in our lives."
- The Camel Bookmobile Masha Hamilton "New York City librarian Fiona Sweeney has taken an unusual assignment in Kenya - running a bookmobile service powered by camel and serving isolated, seminomadic villages like Mididima, where teenaged library customer Kanika lives with her grandmother, Neema… This third novel from international journalist Hamilton presents a rare and balanced perspective on issues surrounding cultural intrusion and the very meaning and necessity of literacy, using rich and evocative prose that skillfully exposes the stark realities of poverty and charity in today's Africa." - Library Journal
- Kiffe Kiffe Faiza Guene Doria is a 15-year-old Muslim French girl living in the infamous Paradise projects of suburban Paris and suffering all the usual problems: an overworked mother, an absent father, an inability to understand boys. She endures a parade of social workers with names like Madame Thingamajig and Monsieur Whosawhatsit. Because she's surrounded by drugs, crime, and racism, you'd expect hers to be a tale of endless tragedy. But Doria isn't the complaining type. She'll make the best of her mektoub, or "destiny," reminding us that no matter our troubles, we all have parts to play in our fate. Take the Arab phrase kif-kif - "same-old, same-old" - and turn it into a French phrase, kiffe kiffe: "Things are getting better all the time."
- The Lost Daughter of Happiness Geiling Yan This powerful novel of forbidden love in turn-of-the-century San Francisco tells the story of an affair between an enigmatic Chinese prostitute and the Caucasian boy who worships her. It is set in the aftermath of the Gold Rush era. Narrated in a haunting voice that explores the past's painful truths through the prism of the present, and filled with electrifying scenes that make its colorful history come alive, this story traces the lives of two individuals separated by prejudice and mistrust, but bound forever by love.
- Unaccustomed Earth Jhumpa Lahiri Jhumpa Lahiri's most recent story collection is gorgeously crafted and emotionally complex. Publishers Weekly says, "The gulf that separates expatriate Bengali parents from their American-raised children - and that separates the children from India - remains Pulitzer Prize–winning author Lahiri's subject for this follow-up to Interpreter of Maladies and The Namesake. The results are again stunning… Lahiri's stories of exile, identity, disappointment and maturation evince a spare and subtle mastery that has few contemporary equals."

Kershaw 3880 Thermite Assisted 3-1/2" Stonewash Plain Blade, G10 and Steel Handles
KS3880: 3880 Thermite
Kershaw Knives
A thermite is a mixture that, when ignited, produces a huge amount of heat. And we think you'll agree, the Thermite is hot.
With tactical styling and practical performance, the Thermite, designed by Rick Hinderer, has a great look and great features. The Thermite offers Rick's no-nonsense functionality, but with enough style that co-workers will look on with a satisfying touch of envy when you take the Thermite out of your pocket.
The 3 1/2-in. stonewashed blade is hollow-ground for excellent slicing capabilities with a flat-ground "spanto" tip for strong piercing. A machined G-10 front scale and a heavily textured backspacer add to the Thermite's good looks. On the practical side, the back handle is stainless steel with a frame lock and lockbar stabilizer.
For easy opening, the Thermite is SpeedSafe-equipped and can be accessed with the ambidextrous flipper or thumbstud. It comes equipped with Kershaw's Quad-Carry/deep-carry pocketclip.
- Flipper - May be used on either manual or assisted opening knives. The "flipper" is a protrusion on the back of the blade that the user can pull back on, or flip, in order to move the blade easily out of the handle.
- SpeedSafe® - Assists you to open any SpeedSafe® knife quickly and easily with a manual push on the thumbstud or pull back on the flipper; built into many Kershaw best sellers.
- Frame Lock - A portion of the handle (the knife frame) moves behind the blade to lock it into position during use. This is a safety feature of the knife.
- Quad-carry - The user may position the pocketclip for tip-up or tip-down, left- or right-handed carry.
- SpeedSafe assisted opening
- Frame lock with lockbar stabilizer
- Flipper and thumbstud
- Quad-carry; deep-carry
- Steel: 8Cr13MoV, stonewashed finish
- Handle: Machined G-10 front, 410 steel back
- Blade length: 3 1/2 in. (8.9 cm)
- Closed length: 4 7/8 in. (20 cm)
- Overall length: 8 3/8 in. (21.3 cm)
- Weight: 4.9 oz.
- Made in China
UPC Code: 087171034980
Includes a pocket clip for easy accessibility and a more secure carry.
Considered a value steel, 8Cr13 steel provides adequate corrosion resistance but with slightly more carbon than AUS-8, it will sharpen up and hold an edge better.
Developed by Chris Reeve, it functions like a liner lock but the lock is comprised of one of the handle scales. It's an extremely strong and easy to manipulate lock.
Formed in a sheet under high pressure by combining fiberglass and an epoxy resin binder. These handles are lightweight and shaped to ensure a solid grip.

New Homes with Jack and Jill Baths
Sample Floor Plans with a Jack and Jill bathroom
A "Jack and Jill" bathroom has two entrances, with direct access from two bedrooms. Both bathroom doors usually lock on both sides of the door to maintain privacy.
Here's an image of this Jack and Jill bath floor plan, to give you a better sense of the unique layout designed for a shared kid's bath:
A "Buddy Bath" is similar to a Jack and Jill bath. A buddy bath also has two entrances, but one is usually located in a central hallway:
Benefits of a Jack and Jill bathroom setup:
- Private access to a bathroom without having to enter a hallway/public space
- Cost-saving alternative to a completely private bathroom attached to individual bedrooms
Drawbacks of a Jack and Jill bathroom setup:
- Having two doors with dual locks means you have to remember to lock and unlock BOTH doors each time you use the bathroom
- A Jack and Jill bath isn't always accessible from the hallway (just from the bedrooms) which can be a drawback for guests staying in another room, unless there's another full bath available.
Jack and Jill Bath Photos: Design Ideas for Jack & Jill Layouts
Jack and Jill Bath Design Idea #1: Most Jack and Jill baths will include two sinks, as they are designed as shared spaces. This bath layout is very efficient, saving space with two sinks and set of drawers (in addition to the under sink storage).
Here's an image of this Jack and Jill bath floor plan, from a version of The Hopkins by Frank Betz:
Jack and Jill Bath Design Idea #2: Depending on the length (and number) of countertops, Jack and Jill baths can often include a separate storage closet or cabinets. Here's an example of a built in linen closet in the bath:
Here's an image of this Jack and Jill bath floor plan, from a version of The Summerlyn by Frank Betz:
Other Secondary Bathroom Set Up Ideas
Some floor plans include a Jack and Jill bath or buddy bath with two rooms, separated by an interior door.
- The exterior room contains the bathroom sink and storage (closet or shelving), and the interior room contains the toilet, tub, and/or shower.
- The interior room may contain a second sink with vanity/storage.
Buddy Bath Design Idea #1:
Here's an image of this Buddy bath floor plan, to give you a better sense of the two separate spaces:
With this type of bathroom design, two people can use the same bathroom for separate functions at the same time - perfect for kids sharing a bathroom in the mornings before school!

Perovskite solar cells – Promises and expectations for the third-generation PV technologyOctober 21, 2019Since their invention 10 years ago, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have shown a dramatic increase in conversion efficiency compared with other so-called third-generation solar cells. In 2018, some laboratory tests found that a single-junction PSC cell could reach up to 23% efficiency. Its technology has benefited from developments carried out for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) and organic solar cells (OSC), also called organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells.

PV inverter suppliers develop digital energy solutionsJanuary 26, 2018SMA announced last week that it would set up a digital energy solution subsidiary named Coneva, a move that is a natural stepping stone to diversifying its business and expanding its customer base. Along with its existing business units such as energy storage, off-grid/hybrid and now a digital solutions company, it has a clear roadmap for 2018 to transition its business to a digital world. This move is particularly pertinent when the PV inverter competitive landscape is still crowded and pure-play PV inverter suppliers such as SMA are trying to gain a competitive advantage over its larger industrial competitors such as ABB, GE, Siemens, Schneider Electric and Huawei. In this insight, IHS Markit aims to explain the meaning behind this move to establish a subsidiary and why they are launching it in Q1 2018.Subscribers Only

1954 Internal Revenue Code Two Years Later
Presented at the Eleventh Annual Conference of the Tax Executives Institute, Los Angeles--September 1956
The two years that have passed since the enactment of the Intern-al Revenue Code of 1954 have provided taxpayers with an opportunity to become familiar with its general provisions. This should permit us to dispense with a detailed explanation of the various sections and to concentrate
now on a review of some of the significant problems that have developed, as well as on the possible solutions to those problems.
Nothing in the new Code created more excitement than the ill-fated sections that would have permitted the deferral of prepaid income and the deduction of provisions for estimated expenses. They entered the income-tax scene under the best of auspices. In his 1954-budget message, the President recommended that tax accounting should be brought more closely in line with accepted business accounting. When this recommendation was adopted by Congress in the enactment of the new Code, the resulting sections 452 and 462 were acclaimed as a significant
step in the struggle to bring some rational rules to tax accounting.
Despite the almost unanimous approval of these sections, when it became apparent that they might result in a substantial loss of revenue, they were promptly repealed. Even while recommending repeal, however,
the Senate Finance Committee was careful to explain that it was not abandoning their basic principles and that it expected to make a future
report of legislation dealing with the problem.
There seems to be little disagreement as to whether there is actually
a problem. Both the 1939 Code and the 1954 Code provide that a taxpayer's method of accounting shall clearly reflect his income. While this seems to be a simple concept, it has been largely ignored by the courts in the development and application of the claim of right doctrine to prepaid income and of the principle that deductible expenses must be represented by fixed and determinable liabilities. The result has been

Some years ago I was house shopping and agreed to go see a rambling multi-unit in a local town. The Realtor who met me for the walk-through cautioned it had some "unique" qualities.
Unique indeed. One of them turned out to be a tenant in one of the apartments. She was a very sweet older lady who stayed out of our way with a cat in her arms as we climbed through a maze of stacks of magazines, books and boxes of stuff.
Every surface in every room, including the stove-top and bed, was covered in odd things you see at yard sales and sold on TV info-mercials. I remember thinking to myself, "something is very weird here."
That was before Reality TV seized upon anything odd or dangerous in our society and brought us "Hoarding" and "Buried Alive." Most of us did not even know there was a name for such an affliction. I certainly didn't. I just remember wondering how this poor woman would ever move all of her stuff out if I bought the place -- which I thankfully did not.
Now we all know it's called hoarding. Some studies have estimated almost 4 percent of our population has this affliction.
Ever look at your cluttered bedroom or the desktop of your office-mate and wondered, "Am I becoming one of those people? Are they?"
The housing market is finally picking up. During these years of property stagnation many homes have been turned into rentals for those who can't qualify to buy or have left foreclosed homes. Some of them will be hoarders. It's often only when a new prospective landlord forces themselves in that these people are discovered.
This is when a business that started in 2003 to take care of housing issues surrounding the elderly who wanted to remain in their homes has found a niche dealing with hoarders. Community House Calls, based in Chester, has even set up a division called Healthy Homes Today to deal with the issue.
They work with an average of one client a week who is a hoarder, said Newmarket resident Pam Manes, the firm's director of service development.
Healthy Homes focuses on New Hampshire but also has customers in Maine and Massachusetts. It works with social service agencies or families to either clean up a dwelling so it is safe, or relocate a person. Often they get a call to act from a concerned family member. Sometimes it's a landlord who is buying a property or finally has realized what's gone on behind a closed door. Rarely is it the hoarders themselves who call for help.
Mostly, Manes and her colleagues try to gently deal with the people problem because that's what they're all about. They are more health care providers than dumpster contractors. The staff includes educators and social workers.
"People think of hoarders as dirty or people who are collecting on purpose. Often these are just people who are overwhelmed by their obsessive compulsive behavior," said Manes.
She has seen a lot in 10 years working with the problem. It always has been an issue in society but hidden away and rarely discussed until now.
There have been clients who are sleeping in their bathtub. There have been professionals you would not suspect. There have been 20-somethings and a 92-year-old. Sometimes action must be taken quickly because health authorities have condemned the property. Other times a family member has decided grandma's collecting has gotten a bit out of hand when she can't squeeze out of her front door.
Many hoarders are shy and secretive; some are combative.
It takes a gentle but firm professional to deal with the issue. Healthy Homes will charge by the job or the hour. It brings in a dumpster if needed, but prefers to work with the hoarder to help them remove the mess. A lot will be thrown away but if more can be given to Goodwill or other charities all the better.
Manes said the affliction is present in all societies. But we make it easier to hoard with TV shopping channels, garage sales and flea markets everywhere.
If you need help or know someone who does, Manes can be reached at 1-603-887-7878, or www.communityhousecalls.com.
In a way, these are the victims of our own excess.
Jeremiah Turner can be reached at email@example.com.

The foundation is not legally obliged to do so, but there is political pressure, with this being the first day of Hillary Clinton's Senate confirmation hearing for her to become the next secretary of state.
The list shows that over 200,000 donors gave at least $492 million dollars since the foundation was founded in 1997. Exact contribution amounts are unknown because the list only gives ranges. At least $46 million comes directly from foreign governments such as Saudi Arabia. The foundation promises to reveal all future donors on a yearly basis, and new foreign government donations will be scrutinized by "government ethics officers." Some donations come from sources that could lead to controversy or conflicts of interest.
For instance, the Blackwater security firm donated between $10,001 to $25,000. The Associated Press notes the company is "at risk of losing its lucrative government contract to protect US diplomats in Iraq."
The Internet company Yahoo, as well as its top executives Jerry Yang, Frank Biondi, and Terry Semel donated as well. The Associated Press comments that the company has been "involved in disputes over surrendering Internet information to Chinese authorities that led to the imprisonment of dissidents there."
Also, Victor Dahdaleh gave between $1 million to $5 million. He is a Canadian investor involved in aluminum production. He has been sued for fraud and bribery by a Bahrain aluminum company, and the Justice Department opened a criminal investigation about it. (The Associated Press, 1/18/2009) Dahdaleh will be acquitted in the legal case in 2013. But he will be implicated in a different financial scandal in 2016. (Yahoo Finance, 5/25/2016)

Photographer's Note
This is the view from the rooftop restaurant and bar of the hotel where I was staying in Tbilisi a few months ago. The hotel was situated at the edge of a steep hill overlooking the Old town. The nearest church, undergoing restorations just like most major buildings in the city, is the 13th century Metekhi Church. I have earlier shown a couple of interiors from that church. This was one of them.
Further back, on the slopes of the Sololaki ridge, you can see the walls of the mainly 8th century Narikala fortress and inside it the Church of St Nicholas. The church was destroyed by an explosion in the 19th century and rebuilt in recent years.
Below the hill, to the left, is a mosque from the late 19th century, probably the only still functioning mosque in the Georgian capital.
Below the nearest hill, not visible here, is the Mtkvari River. On the other side of the river you can see the spectacular Old town of Tbilisi, stretching further north (to the right from this angle) for some distance.
I have added two more views from this hotel as workshops.

Hello Gert,
the way we got familiar with this interesting city, little by little and through mostly unpredictable and original points of view is superb. This (as well as the first picture of the workshop)is wonderful and comprehensive. The structures, vegetation and details we find all over give us valuable information about the character of this place, old elements mingling with new ones. The bright light and the vivid colours make the view delightful and comfortable. Your notes are very enlightening too. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a lovely evening,

Hej Gert,
Jag tycker nästan att den här gamla borgruinen ser ut som en kuliss som har byggts upp i Hollywood. Jag nästan anar den där skylten längs sluttningen i bakgrunden. Fast detta är säkert äkta vara... En synnerligen vacker vy! De andra bilderna är också mycket intressanta, speciellt den med utsikten från ditt rum. Hur mycket kostade ditt rum och hur mycket skulle du fått betala för en bättre utsikt?

Excellent landscape photograph captured with a lot of passion and interest.Lovely scene with framing and sharpness.I like the clarity of the image as well as the blue sky.Nice job done.
What a wonderful addition to the series you have going in Tbilisi, Gert - no question this would make a beautiful postcard, with its line of medieval walls and towers and another dominating the FG. I'd decied long ago that I want to travel to the Caucasus region, but your photos have helped promote it up the list.

Thanks for sharing
abmdsudi (82528) 2012-09-06 19:18
Hi Gert
I like the angle you have chosen which works well against that sky. It looks close enough to the buildings near the fg but the placement of the prominent Church is so vital and effective being the main puller into this scene, full of contents of a cute small historic town surrounded by soothing lush greenery. Exposure is fine given the conditions with very fine clarity and colors rendering much definition to the scene. This is competent piece of work, every inch is productive and a pleasure to view.
Tks to the infornotes and additional pictures guiding us through. Well done, TFS
Warm regards

Good afternoon Gert,
Best summer bright light that allow to see the colors and fine contour-lines of the hills surrounding Tbilisi and the walls leading upwards on.
The town houses towers and church in the FG convey good sense of depth and width. Fine allocation of the pic. space.

Lemon & Spinach – not only do they taste great together, but when combined, the boost of nutrients is even stronger.
Spinach has a high amount of iron, but it's plant-based and not easily absorbed by the body. But when you add lemon, its vitamin C changes the molecular structure of the spinach's iron and ta-da, the iron is more digestible and better absorbed by your body!
My recommendation: saute spinach in garlic and olive oil and finish it off with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

I really do not understand the workings of the city. If Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and her people were trying to promote the Baltimore Grand Prix, how did the dates get booked for a college football game on the same weekend for next year, and a convention the following year ("Grand Prix of Baltimore canceled through 2015, and likely beyond," Sept. 13)?
After finding Race On and the Andretti Marketing people to promote the race and seeking title sponsors who would commit for three years, the city sells the dates out from under them. Why did the mayor not convey her wishes that the Labor Day weekend be kept open for the race? Did the people who book the dates for the city not realize what was going on?

"The amount of different styles that The Fairchilds place on Our Revolution is simply stunning."
The constituent band members are talented enough that they are able to create a unique and compelling sound that reaches through the majority of tracks on this album. Our Revolution begins with I Need You, a tremendously emotional track that pits vocals against instrumentation; with this antagonistic relationship, the resulting effort is pushed to the next level.
This creates in I Need You a captive body of fans, one that will eagerly lap up the opening strains of Our Revolution. This titular track is much more bold and in your face than I Need You, showcasing the same fire and fury that immediately drew listeners in to the band in the first place. Later tracks on Our Revolution, like Story of My Life, add more to the narrative side of things.
Where albums usually are understood to be the body on which a few singles sail, Our Revolution is a title that should be enjoyed from beginning to end. The disc's penultimate track is Turn Back Time; the act is able to make a microcosm of all of the different approaches, sounds, and styles that they presented fans on this album and distill it to a five-minute run time. Pick up a copy of Our Revolution today, and see if The Fairchilds will be hitting up your area in the next few months. There is such a strong connection between front-person Cyril Niccolai and the rest of the band; when one hears a guitar, it is not only a riff – it is a complex set of interactions that include the rest of the band.

Dany Sanz, the revelation of an asserted personality.
Dany Sanz, the revelation of an asserted personality.
Bubbling over with creativity, Dany Sanz got an early start in the art world and the night world, populated with colourful characters. For this former fine arts student, her calling became clear when some friends asked her to do the makeup for a show. With her committed and generous attitude, and perfect mastery of shapes and interplays of shadow and light, she put all of her energy into the first body paintings. She was one of the creators of this movement, which she considers to be a means of artistic expression in itself.
Backstage, she stole the spotlight with her makeup creations that caught the eye of professionals worldwide. The media began to focus on this artist with such an electric temperament.
A professor at heart, she created the first professional makeup school in Europe in the 70s. It met with great success due to the quality of the teaching, the excellence of the makeup techniques that she taught and the special relationship that she nurtured with her students.
Avant-garde, creative and a pioneer of makeup, Dany Sanz decided to formulate textures to compensate for the limited professional product offer at the time. Dany Sanz's life would be makeup… forever.
A company created by an artist in 1984
When she realised that her formulas were increasingly appreciated, Dany Sanz felt that the moment had come to create her own brand. Her renowned product expertise and her intuition for development were her best allies.
In 1984, MAKE UP FOR EVER was created. Professor in a makeup school by day, Dany Sanz spent her nights creating new formulas for products that she packaged in her famous "cellar", the basement of the future boutique at 5 rue La Boétie in the 8th district of Paris. Between makeup lessons at the school, and helped by her students, she packaged her products there. This legendary site is now a meeting spot for the makeup artists of Paris and all over the world. In this special place, they find products adapted to their needs. They meet here and spend hours in this sanctuary of creation.
Expansion to the four corners of the planet
With success came new responsibilities for Dany Sanz who became both a makeup creator and a company director, along with her husband Jacques Waneph. The production soon took off with the opening of a first factory near Paris. The colours, pigments and other palettes could now be distributed on a wide scale. MAKE UP FOR EVER travelled the world over. Its ambassadors were Dany Sanz's former makeup students, now back at home in Korea, China, Europe, the United States and in 50 other countries!
This community created a network with deep roots, faithful to Dany Sanz and fervent users of her products. MAKE UP FOR EVER made its home in the four corners of the planet, with Paris as its epicentre.
In 1999, the Brand joined the prestigious French group LVMH, which gave it the means to accelerate its development and renown on an international level. Nicolas Cordier, named CEO in 2004, formed a complementary and dynamic duo with Dany Sanz. Using the recipe that worked so well for Fashion and Couture brands, they worked as a "manager/creator" team, allowing the brand to develop while respecting its roots. As Artistic Director, Dany Sanz remained in charge of creation and attentive to the needs of professional makeup artists. She maintained control over all of the product development, the visual identity of the brand and the MAKE UP FOR EVER ACADEMY network. Her direct impulse acted as a commercial development engine, directed by Nicolas Cordier. The close partnership between the two paved the way for new perspectives of the brand amongst the public, while reinforcing its Pro identity.
In department stores and at Sephora
The products now appealed to a wide public. Their reputation for excellence preceded them and customers wanted them for personal use. Like makeup artists, the public was won over by MAKE UP FOR EVER due to the high technology and quality of its formulas. MAKE UP FOR EVER customers are always demanding and well-informed, whether they are professionals or not.
On sale in department stores in the early 90s, in Asia and then in Europe, MAKE UP FOR EVER has also been present at Sephora since 1996. The brand's product lines became more accessible and the professional ranges developed further. Going incognito at the Sephora store of the Champs Elysées, Dany Sanz admits that she even kissed her first customers on the cheeks! Happy yet humble in the face of success, she was delighted that customers were purchasing her products…

Is technology your friend or your nemesis? Find out how you can use health IT to your advantage at Tech Tuesday, a new live webinar series that teaches physicians and office managers how technology will shape patient care and practice operations. On the third Tuesday of each month from noon to 1 pm CT, Tech Tuesday webinars will cover everything from the expansion of HIEs and HIPAA security to the hi-tech patient experience and how mobile trends can enhance multiple aspects of your practice.
Are you using your electronic health record (EHR) to its fullest potential? For many physicians across Texas, the answer is "no" — even with the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act of 2009 providing much-needed incentives to adopt and meaningfully use an EHR. This webinar will show you how, by tracking and measuring data related to quality, care coordination, and patient engagement, your practice potentially can achieve — and prove — better patient health outcomes, and start earning meaningful use's monetary incentives.
Health information exchanges (HIEs) allow physicians to exchange patient information securely when coordinating care with referring and consulting physicians. Having the right information on the right patient at the right time can enhance physician decision making at the time of care. This occurs when physicians have access to key patient information such as current medications, allergies, lab results, and recent hospitalizations. This webinar will help physicians and office managers understand how information flows through HIEs, and what steps they should take to join a local HIE.
Do you have — and use — clear procedures in your practice to prevent, detect, contain, and correct security violations? The HIPAA Security Rule requires it. The HIPAA Security Rule aims to protect e-PHI confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The Security Rule offers detailed instructions for implementing particular standards, but some of these are "addressable," which means each medical practice must decide whether it is a reasonable and appropriate safeguard in that practice's environment. Complying With HIPAA Security will help you identify your practice's security risks; apply techniques and policies needed to comply with HIPAA Security, HITECH, and Texas privacy laws; and explain enforcement of and penalties for privacy breaches at the federal and state levels.
Mobile technology has moved well beyond simply making a phone call or sending a text message. There are now full practice mobile solutions for everything from patient registration to HIPAA-secure consultations. This year, for the first time, sales of tablets will outpace the sales of laptop computers, confirming the rapid move toward a more mobile medical industry and a more mobile patient. This webinar will discuss the exciting trends in mobile technology as they apply to your practice, your patients, and your work flow. It will also highlight how you can increase efficiency – and reduce costs – through the use of mobile communication tools as compared with more traditional methods.
The latest consumer statistics suggest that more than 90 percent of potential patients will research your practice online before making a decision on where they will go for their health care. So what does your online presence say about you? Is your website properly structured and designed? Do you offer online appointment scheduling and digital forms? Are you getting good patient reviews and positive social media talk?
Patient portal adoption is surging, due in part to meaningful use requirements for physicians to engage patients electronically. There are several approaches physicians can take to accomplish this task. Personal health records (PHRs), patient portals, and use of online forms are ways practices can incorporate tools that will further engage patients and increase satisfaction. So, how do you overcome the daunting task of implementing patient portals, PHRs, and online forms to engage patients? Perhaps an even more difficult question is how do you facilitate patient adoption and use once these measures are in place? This webinar will cover these issues and more to help you create a patient experience and workflow that will maintain your practice's viability well into the future.
Creating and managing a top-notch Internet presence and positive reputation is imperative to building your practice and maintaining relationships with current patients. This webinar will help you wade through these considerations so that you can have the resources and opportunities to better serve your patients and expand your community interaction.

Last year, Jay Z rode the New York subway to one of his concerts in Brooklyn and adorably explained who he was to an elderly woman. This week, he surprised fans — this time in London — by taking public transportation to his own show once again. But he wasn't ridin' solo — Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and producer Timbaland were there on the Tube too. They were heading to Jay's show Saturday night at the O2 Arena, where both Martin and Timbaland joined him on stage, E! News reports.
A lucky fan spotted Jay and his crew and shared the following photo on Instagram (which features Chris Martin grinning behind him):
Another fan tweeted that he was just too starstruck to snap a photo. Which is understandable, because he's Jay Z and everything. But now we know he rides public transit JUST LIKE US, so he's basically our best friend.

Michael Baron: How's your knee feeling?
Daniel Murphy: Feels good. Feels really good. It was a good off-season. I was able to strengthen it. Since I've been through the injury before, I knew what to expect and I had an idea on how to attack it. The Mets gave me a workout program, so I took what I had, molded it and I think I am in a good spot.
Michael Baron: Unlike in years past, when you've been jockeyed from one position to another, you're going into the season with some stability at second base. Does that reduce any mental strains or concerns and help your development at second base?
Daniel Murphy: I'm still going to prepare myself to win the job; I don't think I've won it yet. I've been given an opportunity to win it. I know Justin Turner is going to come in and think he can help this team win ballgames too. Though we will both be working for the same position, we are working towards the same goal - to play in the playoffs. It will be nice to play one position and focus on that daily, but I will still prepare myself to win a job.
Michael Baron: One thing I've observed with you is your attitude, and you've connected with the fans from that standpoint. You obviously have a goal and a vision for this team, which is to make it to postseason. What are some of the positives you see here which can help achieve that goal?
Daniel Murphy: Ike Davis - he would've gone to the All-Star Game if he didn't get hurt. I truly believe that. It's tough to see Jose Reyes go, but Ruben Tejada finished really strong last year. I was able to watch him offensively, we know what he can do defensively. I read a couple of reports this winter he grades out a tick better defensively than Jose does. David Wright, each day, gets further away from his back injury - he looks great and he always looks good. Duda played real well last year, our bullpen is improved. It's a good roster, and I think we're going to win baseball games.
Michael Baron: What have you been working on specifically with Tim Teufel on at second base to help you become the second baseman you expect to be?
Daniel Murphy: The main focus is positioning. We both feel I'm athletic enough to play the position. Part of my struggles have been due to poor positioning, especially on the double play. I'm not good enough yet, and we both know this, to get to the bag late and still turn the double play. What we've decided to do is I will play closer to the bag. I may give up more in the hole, but I will get to the bag on time and be able to dictate my pivot rather than stumbling over the bag. I think with that it will allow me to slow the game down - it won't move as quickly. I feel really comfortable there now, especially with the positioning and the double plays in game speed.
Michael Baron: What is a strength of yours at second base?
Daniel Murphy: I feel I am a fairly athletic second baseman. I feel I have made some pretty good plays there. My biggest thing is consistency - make the plays you're supposed to make. That's what it's all about. I need to become as consistent and efficient as possible at making those plays. If I get a two-hopper with one out as a double play ball, it's gotta get turned, and it's gotta go through me.
Michael Baron: Are there situations where over-thinking comes into play for you defensively, or do you feel like you simply have to make fundamental improvements?
Daniel Murphy: As far as the bang-bang plays are concerned, when those happen, your athletic ability takes over, and you end up doing what I've been trained to do since I was five, which was catch it and get it in the air. On the routine plays, I have to get more consistent and know that with those routine plays, I just have to make them. It doesn't have to be spectacular. I just have to catch it, and deliver the ball to either first or second.
Michael Baron: What are some of the offensive improvements you're seeking to make this season?
Daniel Murphy: Driving the ball. My average dictated I had a good year and I was able to hit a fair amount of doubles. But I've got to drive the ball, because we all know about the learning curve at second base. I will not be put at second base because I am the best defender there in the National League - we are viewing it as an offensive position and I feel like I need to drive the ball. I got in the weight room to try and get stronger, but I'm also going to work with Dave Hudgens on walking more. That's basically a little more focus, understanding the pitches I can hit and handle, and taking the ones I can't.

Stop worrying about an "exit strategy." What America needs in Libya is an entrance strategy.
By Christopher Hitchens
"The embarrassing failure of NATO's strategy with the Libyan "rebels" is easier to understand when it is contrasted with its closest parallel case, which is probably that of Kosovo."

Christopher Hitchens (1949 - 2011) was an Anglo-American author and journalist. His books made him a prominent public intellectual and a staple of talk shows and lecture circuits. He was a columnist and literary critic at Vanity Fair, Slate, The Atlantic, World Affairs, The Nation, Free Inquiry and a variety of other media outlets. He was named one of the world's "Top 100 Public Intellectuals" by Foreign Policy and Britain's Prospect.
