TEXAS CHIARASCURO: The Life and Work of Arthur S. and Marie H. Berger
By Kurt Culbertson and Diane Del Cid
Arthur Schoene Berger [1903-1960] and Marie Harbeck Berger [1907-1963], were among the earliest practitioners of the modernist approach to landscape architecture pioneered by Thomas Church, Garrett Eckbo, and others.
Arthur S. Berger was born in Hartwell, Harvey County, Kansas, on December 19, 1903, the youngest of four children of Henry D. Berger and Magdelena Schoene.[1] He graduated from the University of Kansas with a degree in biology in 1925.[2] Berger distinguished himself at an early age, producing at 24 the first autoluminar photograph.[3] He was a distinguished student commended by the University for being in the top 6% of all students.
By 1927 Arthur traveled to Europe and was living at 14 Wendell Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts, just off the Harvard University campus where he received his graduate degree in landscape architecture in 1928.[4] Berger was a finalist for the Rome Prize in 1929[5], won by Richard Coolidge Murdock.[6] Murdock's drawings for the grounds of a colonial revival home carried the exposition at New York's Grand Central Palace. A year later, Arthur was a finalists again, this time losing to Neil Hamil Park.[7]. After one year with the Long Island State Park Commission in 1930, he worked the next five years for Ferrucio Vitale. A native of Italy, Vitale was a classicist. Berger was then sent by the Vitale office to oversee the landscape construction of the Toledo Art Museum. This would have been the wings addition during the depression.
Berger traveled frequently from Ohio to lecture at the University of Kansas, and in 1933, was offered a teaching position in botany by President Malott. While declining the offer, he did assist the President with his plans for improvement of the campus. Mention the drive and reference Kessler's plan.[8]
Encouraged to stay in the city by prominent Toledo residents, he formed the firm of Berger and Linnard with Lawrence G. Linnard [1901-1983].[9] [ Kurt to Connect Berger to Ellen Biddle Shipman at Stranleigh].[10] Linnard had also worked with Vitale in New York.[11] During their practice together from 1934 to 1937, they created the gardens of numerous large estates in the Toledo area including Elm House[12] in Perrysburg, Ohio, as well as, projects in Detroit and Cleveland. From 1937 to 1944, Arthur spent his summer in Toledo and his winters in Dallas, Texas. He established permanent residence in Dallas in 1939. The move was precipitated by the death of his brother Harry and a hard won commission to design the garden of Rancho Encinel, the residence of Texas Instrument founder, Everett Lee and Nell DeGolyer, Everett DeGolyer, an internationally renowned petroleum geologist and founder of Texas Instruments, on White Rock Lake.
[Kurt to describe briefly the state of Texas landscape architecture in 1939 – relating to his earlier presentation] Joe Lambert was the only major practicing landscape architect in Dallas. Richard Myrick arrived from Harvard in 1942.
With the outbreak of World War II, Arthur would contribute his skills to the Camouflage Branch of the United States Armey at Camp Belvoir, Virginia. There two events would change his life and his landscapes forever. The staff of Camouflage Branch was filled with naturalists, landscape architects and artists. The art of camouflage, a French work meaning "to conceal" had been pioneered by the French Army during World War I. At that time, artists were put into service in World War I to camouflage equipment and installations. Gertrude Stein famously reported the remarks of Picasso and Braque, viewing camouflaged military equipment on parade in Paris at the beginning World War I. "We did that," Picasso said. "That is Cubism." That may have been Cubism, which would have made the lovely lavender and pink lozenges of German Albatross fighter planes, fitted together like cells of a honeycomb, "hexagonalist."[13] It was from these early pioneering efforts, as well as, study of trompe l'oile, that formed the basis of Arthur's work in Virginia. It is also likely that he came in contact with many of the artist who contributed to the effort including Arshil Gorkey, Grant Wood, and Ellsworth Kelly. Study of the work of the early French cubists and collaboration with contemporary American artist would have no doubt challenged Arthur's Beaux Arts training and shaped his conceptions of his own work.
Were that not enough to transformed a classically trained designer into a modernist another event in Fort Belvoir There he met a young landscape architect from Oregon, Marie Harbeck, who from 1942 to 1944, Marie contributed her design skills to the war effort. Marie Monica Harbeck was born in Seattle, Washington, on June 11, 1907.[14] A 1925 graduate of Grants Pass (Oregon) High School she graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Landscape Architecture in 1932 from Oregon State University, the last year in which a professional degree program in landscape architecture was taught there.[15] The landscape architecture program was then moved to the University of Oregon in Eugene to be part of the School of Architecture and Allied Arts. Professor Frederick A. Cuthbert, Marie's long-time friend and mentor, who had chaired the program at Oregon State, also moved to Eugene in the transfer.[16]
Cuthbert assisted the young Harbeck in finding work initially with architect, Gardner T. Bailey from 1938-1940, and then in the office of Thomas Church in San Francisco. There she completed the design of the L.D. Owen Residence in Sausalito, as well as, numerous other projects. Cuthbert remained in contact with Marie during her days in San Francisco. Marie assisted with student visits to the Bay area and maintained a lifelong interest in the program at University of Oregon. She exhibited at the Architectural League of New York prior to World War II. Maria was also a designer of fabrics.
With the War's end, Arthur convinced Marie to join him in Dallas in 1945, first as his business partner, and then as his wife. The two were married in Dallas on July 5, 1946, at the Highland Park Presbyterian Church in Dallas, Texas. They became known simply as as "The Bergers", initiating a successful career in landscape architecture, with most of their work done in San Antonio, Dallas (Highland Park, University Park and Preston Hollow) and Fort Worth, Texas.
DeGolyer introduced the Bergers to Texas architect O'Neal Ford. Their first collaboration was the home of Frank Murchison in San Antonio. Arthur and Marie's plan for the Murchinson landscape provided intimate and fluid connections between interior and exterior spaces by means of patios, terraces and long galleries. The collaboration was so successful that 'the trio' (the Bergers and Ford) were repeatedly contracted to work together on significant projects in Dallas, Arlington, Salado and San Antonio, Texas, as well as various cities and ranches beyond. The T. Frank Murchison residence became a Texas Mid-century Modern icon and consolidated a symbiotic relationship between Ford and the Bergers. The garden and the house were intimately linked to the land; the house, in a longitudinal plan, on the contour of the hillside captured the southeast breezes across the main axis of the house. Upon visiting this house and garden, it was confirmed that all the rooms opened to the gardens located on both sides of the house: one side faced the hillside; the other faced the view. The landscape architects shaded the house while accentuating the view from every room through large windows to view the gardens dressed with Live Oaks, and shrub plantings of Gardenias and Camellias, Lantana and Plumbago. The terrace walls were built with stones quarried at the site.
Here was the influence of Thomas Dolliver Church. But in the hot Texas sun, the lessons learned from Arthur's early experimentation with photography and their experience with the camouflage corp were also present. Arthur would speak of their approach to design in a March 1949 issue of House & Garden "Drama, in the garden as elsewhere, is achieved by contrast. The placing of light and shade next to each other creates sharp images, with both light and shade having a greater intensity by their proximity. A garden feature seen in brilliant sunlight from shaded surroundings may be seem as dramatically lighted as though it were picked out by a spotlight on a dark stage. Shadow patterns on the garden floor may complete the dark frame of the overhead object which causes them. The multiplicity of shadow forms is legion, being limited only by the number and variety of materials which impede the sun's rays." [Diane what year did they do the Murchinson garden? Ford did the house in 1937 which was well before the war.]
This garden, Arthur and Marie's first collaboration with O'Neal Ford, is perhaps the first modernist landscape in Texas. House and Garden writer , Dr. Joseph E. Howland, ___ would label the Berger's approach to design "Texas Chiarascuro". Unlike Thomas Church and others who promoted large terraces as a means to outdoor living, Howland noted that the Bergers foresaw the universality of air-conditioned space and the movement indoors it would bring.
Arthur and Marie understood the regional environmental conditions of Texas and began using native plants and materials often times native from the project site. The Bergers, (as they became known) were described by their patrons, friends and relatives as talented, charming characters.
George Dahl (residence of Robert Storey, Dean of SMU law school) Houston architect, John Staub (The Urshel's Magnolia Hill in San Antonio), Harwell Harris (Dean of the school of architecture at University of Texas - on the State fair House Beautiful Pace Setter home). [Diane – I think we want to reference these designers but in their logical chronological order]
Another early significant Berger-Ford project was the Haggerty House in the Prestonwood area of Dallas where the terrace joins the gardens at the edge of their signature sinuously curved retaining walls. This home, like many other Ford-Berger projects was situated on a creek. Several other successful Dallas projects followed, such as the Merritt, Penson, and McDermott (guesthouse) residences and all exist in excellent condition today with minor modifications to the landscape. In San Antonio, another Murchison family residence, Tom Slick and Charles Urschel Jr. residences.
[Diane we need to discuss Trinity and Temple Emanuel as separate projects] The Bergers collaborated with many renowned modern architects such as William Wurster (the former Dean of the School of Architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT and later Dean at the University of California at Berkeley). Marie had undoubtedly met Meyer during her time with Gordon Dailey and Thomas Church in San Francisco [Diane I'll elaborate about Meyer's background and early work.]
Howard Meyer, (architect for 3525 Turtle Creek, Temple Emanu-El and the McNaughton residence in Dallas), [Diane how did they meet Meyer? We need a little background on Meyer and his work as an early Dallas modernist]
The Berger's own home on Stonebridge Road over Turtle Creek in Dallas, completed in 1953, became an icon of mid-century modern landscape and architecture upon it's completion. Designed by O'Neil Ford, with William Wurster consulting and Scott Lyons as project architect, the house was often described nationally as a model of taste and fashion.
A bi-nuclear plan linked their living quarters to their studio office. The gardens, as many of their landscape designs, was perfectly suited to the Texas climate; they developed a methodology that started with gardens that were seared by sun on arid land, but they always managed to create a green oasis. They encouraged rapid growth of the selected plantings by enriching the soil and then pruning the trees to grow high first, and then spread wide into umbrella-like canopies. The Bergers life-long crusade was to transform the harsh Texas terrain into magnificent and sophisticated oases of light, water and shade, utilizing a technique known as the 'chiaroscuro'. An August 1957 House Beautiful magazine article stated that, "Five years ago, this house [the Berger's own home] was out in the hot Texas sun [and] now, a leafy canopy of trees and vines, [created] a ceiling over the entire area, [that] shelters both house and surroundings. Real climate control! All of the one and a half-acre property was either paved or planted with evergreen groundcovers, paving patterns, and broad, graceful steps defining the entrance." During the construction and building of the Bergers house, Texas was experiencing the most severe drought in recorded history, yet they were able to create a masterpiece in landscape architecture.
Other residential gardens included the the Fort Worth garden of Mr. and Mrs. O.P. Leonard, and San Domingo Ranch, the home of Texas oilman, Dudley T. Dougherty in Beeville, Texas. The couple also restored the gardens of Holly Hedges in Natchez, Mississippi, as well.
They designed numerous college campuses, including Trinity University in San Antonio and the Science Quadrangle for St. Mark's School. Commercial and industrial work included the Texas Instruments Headquarters in Dallas, and the company's offices on Speedway in Houston, the Dallas Furniture Mart, and the grounds of the Dallas Morning News. Other projects included the roof garden of the Dallas Public Library, a resort in Jamaica, and another resort in Salado, Bell County, Texas.
Mr. and Mrs. Berger welcomed and entertained many of the great names in contemporary architecture, painting, music and writing at their home on Stonebridge Drive. In addition to their talent and contributions to landscape architecture, the Bergers were heavily involved in Dallas arts circles. Arthur sat on the board of the Museum of Fine Arts as well as the Margo Jones Theater. His numerous reviews of garden and architecture books were enjoyed by readers of the Dallas Morning News. He frequently was a guest speaker for many garden club lectures, slide presentations and organized garden tours and festivals that featured their beautiful gardens.
After having accomplished a successful career and recognition in Dallas, in Texas, and in the USA, Arthur and Marie traveled to Europe in 1956 and participated in the International Landscape Architecture Exposition in Zurich, Switzerland. Their work was first featured in contemporary magazines of the era, such as House Beautiful and House and Garden and then later, by architectural writers such as David Dillon and Mary Carolyn Hollers George. They described the Bergers' design philosophy as being "avid students of Texas indigenous forms, [ and used] of native stone that often were quarried at the construction sites, [creating an] intimidate relationship [between] the terrain, the architectural design, the climate and soil conditions. Together, they created a Texas Modern landscape style where the architecture and the landscape worked in unison becoming and masters of the chiaroscuro.
Over time they added partners, Houston B. Bliss and Dick Heiderich, who joined in their design efforts. Tragically, Arthur's brilliant career was cut short by an automobile accident. At age fifty-six, as a result of a car-truck crash at Beltline and Preston Road in Dallas, Arthur died on August 14th, 1960. The Bergers were planning to leave in a few days for a three month tour to visit European landscapes.
After Arthur's death, Marie never recovered from the loss of her husband and partner. She returned to her home state of Oregon and while visiting her sister, her brain tumor became progressively worse. On the eve of her departure [to Dallas to settle her affairs], she suffered a stroke and died on April 5, 1963.
Arthur and Marie died childless, but were interested in the welfare of youth. In 1948, Arthur established an endowed scholarship-loan fund in memory of his only sister, Emily, at the University of Kansas. Arthur stipulated that this scholarship, the largest beneficiary of his will, be primarily for female students as he thought his sister had faced particular difficulties as a woman. Additional scholarships were also established at Ohio State, at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas and in Marie's birth-state at the University of Oregon and Oregon State University for landscape architecture and horticulture.
The Bergers achieved a very high level of design sophistication as modernists. Many of their projects still survive today as mature examples of their visionary work. Members of the Dallas Chapter of the American Institute of Architects presented a post-mortem tribute to Arthur by planting a Live Oak tree on St. John's Drive, between Lexington and Alice Circle, as a gift to the City of Highland Park. The plaque at the bottom of the tree stated, "Planted in appreciation and acknowledgement of the landscape designs of Arthur and Marie Berger."
Paul Horgan, Pulitzer Prize winner and writer of the Southwest, was quoted in an editorial in the Dallas Morning News shortly after Arthur's death when he said that he ".. spoke for many of Arthur Berger's friends when he commented one day in a Berger Garden in Dallas "… a day in a Berger garden is a perfect work of art.""
Eugene and Margaret McDermott, who were good friends of the Berger's as well as clients, donated the original, Van Gogh painting entitled "Banks of the River in Springtime" to the Dallas Museum of Art as a memorial in honor of Arthur Berger. Eugene McDermott stated in the Dallas Morning News on July 9th, 1961, "…may this be a fitting memorial to a man who sought out quality, who celebrated nature and left such beauty in the gardens he created".
Marie was similarly lauded in her Dallas Morning News obituary by fellow landscape architect and associate, Houston Bliss, "her greatest flair was her ability to make lines sing in harmony and in relieving contrast. Her approach in design had an indefinable spontaneity and freshness, comfortable to comprehend and behold."
Dallas, as well as the other cities where the Berger's created gardens are fortunate to have had Arthur and Marie Berger as residents and landscape architects who had such a passion for nature and beauty and dedicated their personal and professional lives to helping make it what it is today.
Both Arthur and Marie were noted for their gentle personalities. They were adored by their clients with whom they closely collaborated in creating their gardens.
Over time they added partners, Houston B. Bliss and Dick Heiderich, who joined in their design efforts.

Polypad is a new plastics-based self-lubricating hatch cover bearing pad which offers benefits to shipowners and yards in terms of a good load-bearing performance, predictable wear-down rate and extended lifetime. MacGREGORs investigations of low-friction materials for hatch cover bearing pads have resulted in the range of low-friction pad options. The Polypad solution resulted from studies on plastic materials for this application, which were initiated in 1993.
The Polypads have been specified for a series of 4,350 TEU container ships ordered by the German owners Bertram Rickmers and Peter Dohle from Poland's Gdynia Shipyard, and for 2,500 TEU container ships booked at the Jurong Shipyard in Singapore by Athens-based NIKI Shipping.

Texas Instruments CD4029BPWR
CD4029B consists of a four-stage binary or BCD-decade up/down counter with provisions for look-ahead carry in both counting modes. The inputs consist of a single CLOCK, CARRY-IN\ (CLOCK ENABLE\), BINARY/DECADE, UP/DOWN, PRESET ENABLE, and four individual JAN signals, Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 and a CARRY OUT\ signal are provided as outputs.
A high PRESET ENABLE signal allows information on the JAM INPUTS to preset the counter to any state asynchronously with the clock. A low on each JAM line, when the PRESET-ENABLE signal is high, resets the counter to its zero count. The counter is advanced one count at the positive transition of the clock when the CARRY-IN\ and PRESET ENALBE signals are low. Advancement is inhibited when the CARRY-IN\ or PRESET ENABLE signals are high. The CARRY-OUT\ signal is normally high and goes low when the counter reaches its maximum count in the UP mode or the minimum count in the DOWN mode provided the CARRY-IN\ signal is low. The CARRY-IN\ signal in the low state can thus be considered a CLOCK ENABLE\. The CARRY-IN\ terminal must be connected to VSS when not in use.
Binary counting is accomplished when the BINARY/DECADE input is high; the counter counts in the decade mode when the BINARY/DECADE input is low. The counter counts up when the UP/DOWN input is high, and down when the UP/DOWN input is low. Multiple packages can be connected in either a parallel-clocking or a ripple-clocking arrangement as shown in Fig. 17.
Parallel clocking provides synchronous control and hence faster response from all counting outputs. Ripple-clocking allows for longer clock input rise and fall times.
The CD4029B-series types are supplied in 16-lead hermetic dual-in-line ceramic packages (F3A suffix), 16-lead dual-in-line plastic packages (E suffix), 16-lead small-outline packages (M, M96, MT and NSR suffixes), and 16-lead thin shrink small-outline packages (PW and PWR suffixes).

According to a recent study, stress can cause insomnia depending on how it is managed. The researchers involved discovered that the usual ways people cope with stress can often be the most harmful, and in turn can raise their chances of developing insomnia. The study suggests that modern therapeutic interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy or meditation can help reduce stress more effectively and without risk of developing insomnia.
The researchers came to the conclusion that dealing with stress through behavioral disengagement or using drugs and alcohol can significantly increase the odds of getting insomnia. They also discovered that using the coping technique of self-distraction, like watching television or going to the movies, was also a large factor in the relationship between insomnia and stress. Furthermore, recurring thoughts about the stressor showed increased levels of insomnia, accounting for 69 percent of the stress exposure to sleep deprivation.
The study revealed that the likelihood of getting insomnia is not dependent upon how many stressors one has, but rather, how the stressors are dealt with. Even though a stressful event can lead to a lack of sleep for a night or so, what a person does to deal with the stress can be the deciding factor between a few nights of unrest and chronic insomnia.
The study involved 2,892 people from a community that had no lifetime history of insomnia or current sleep issues. The participants recorded the amount of major life stressors they had experienced within the past year such as a serious illness, divorce, financial issues or the death of a spouse. They were also required to report the perceived severity of stress from the event, as well as the duration of the stress. Questionnaires were given to the participants in an effort to identify coping methods that the participants had used in the first seven days following the stressful event as well as measure their levels of cognitive intrusion.
A follow-up assessment was given a year later to identify which of the participants had insomnia disorder, which is considered as having insomnia symptoms that occur at least three nights a week for the duration of one month or more, as well as daytime impairment or distress. The study is a reminder that stressful events and other life changes can often cause insomnia. However, the way a person reacts to stress and changes can either reduce or increase their risk for getting insomnia disorder, which only helps feed the stress.
If a person is feeling overwhelmed or stressed about certain events in their life, they can talk to their doctor about strategies that can be implemented to reduce stress levels and improve sleep. According to researchers the study was able to identify potential participants that could be helped the most through therapeutic intervention and by learning healthy coping methods in an effort to improve the way they deal with stress and reduce the risk for insomnia. The researchers noted that mindful meditation based therapies have been linked to considerable suppression of cognitive intrusion and better sleep.
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine mentioned that sleep deprivation and insomnia disorder lasting no more than three months was more prevalent in women than men and occurs in 15 to 20 percent of all adults. Although people can not change or control external events, they can choose how to react to them. One can ease the burden of cognitive intrusion by reacting in healthy, positive ways and reduce their risk of insomnia caused by the onset of stress.

In cooperation with Arbeitskreis Musik in der Jugend (AMJ) and a number of institutions and choirs in Bonn and the surrounding region
Deadline for applications: 15/1/2019
Contact for questions and applications: info(at)EuropeanChoralAssociation.org
Bonn, Germany | 7 - 9/7/2017
Youth Choirs in Movement is an international children and youth choir festival which will take place in Bonn from the 7th to 9th of July 2017 for the fourth time. Young choirs meet in workshops and shared concerts and thus get to know each other through making music together. On Friday, there will be a choir-to-choir concert in the Emmauskirche in Heisterbacherrott as well as in the Otto-Kühne-Schule, on Saturday evening the big closing concert with all choirs will take place in the Bertoltd-Brecht-Gesamtschule in Tannenbusch.
This year the festival is held within the framework of a German-Russian choral exchange: the junior singers of the Schedrik choir under the direction of Pavel and Irina Brochin will host the Russian children's choir Svetlyachok from Moscow. The children and youth choir of the Opera of Bonn, led by Ekaterina Klewitz, from Moscow as well, will organize a shared workshop with the choir of the Ursulinenschule Hersel under the direction of Isabel Plate. They will host the vocal ensemble Nishni Nowgorod Boys Choir's Band.
One of the major underlying themes of the festival is the idea that choral music doesn't have to be stiff – but that movement and choreography play an essential part in modern choral work. This is mirrored in the thematic focus of the workshops: Pavel and Irina Brochin will stage a performance of folk songs from all over the world and incorporate choreography accordingly, whereas the workshop of Ekaterina Klewitz and Isabel Plate will show parts of a musical theatre version of Schubert's "Winterreise" as well as a mix of contemporary pop songs.

I know, it's frustrating. Outside we've got -15° C, the city is frozen in icy snow and the year has just begun so no chance for holidays too soon and I'm posting pictures from the lovely Greek islands. I'm ok with winter and all but let's admit it, each of us has a happy place to go to when things or weather become too harsh. And today I choose to go to my place of summer, chill and love – Thassos.
As I look again at the photos taken there I remember that British woman , somewhere in her 40s working at a bar at Aliki beach. She came there every summer, spent the days serving people in scorching sun and when asked, she said that for her this was heaven. I was watching her going from one customer to another on the burning sand asking in her beautiful accent: 'You ok love, shall I get you anything', making it comfortable for all those tourists packed on the small beach, resting every now and then with a cold beer on the restaurant's porch laughing and chatting with the locals. And it struck me that heaven was not just the sun and the lovely scenery but the very condition of being human, of serving others with kindness, of enjoying the moment immersed in conversation or gazing at the sea.
Thassos is not your typical paradise island. It's beautiful and strange in the same time. The beaches are rather small strips of land, some with a fine golden sand such as Golden Beach here below, some are rocky and rather unfriendly. You have to feel the thorny bushes, hot pebbles and pieces of shells under your feet to get to the fine sand and the clear waters. Even then the surrounding mountains remind you that it's not your environment, you're only a guest.
Greek taverns are mostly about simplicity of design in favor of taste. In a place where you eat for comfort, shrimps and ice cream and fried squids are the celebrities so the decor is almost always rather plain and rustic. We found a tavern that took the French chic elements to inspire tourists for a longer stay and have more wine than beer.
The funny thing about going to natural wonders is that when you look at pictures on the Internet you get this expectation of a wonderful out of this world place where you are one with nature. And it is so, but one little thing extra: it's packed with people! Giola, the natural pool created by the sea in the rocky shores of Thassos is such a place. As with any amazing spots on the island, you must walk for about 2 km on an otherwise unfriendly road to reach the place that has indeed a stunning beauty. That's why it's full with people at any time jumping in the waters, taking selfies, videos and making a lot of noise.
Once there you still don't feel safe. Nature has created a soft spot in its harshness allowing man to play with it for its amusement. The rocky environment around feels anything but benign, there's a strong wind blowing there threatening to sweep you off the shore and the wild and deep sea around the rocks may give you nightmares. However this places puts a spell on people who love pushing their human limits and jump in the natural pool from higher and higher points with a lot of technology to capture the moment.
Marble Beach – no recliners, no big straw umbrellas for shade, no cocktails brought to you while chilling in the sun. Just yourself on a towel and the white pebbled beach, the turquoise waters and of course, hundreds of other people 🙂
Those summer sunsets as well as sailing in the sea around the shores can get you in quite a meditative state. That's when material accumulation seems unimportant, dysfunctional relationships are miles away and competition becomes absolutely pointless. Just by looking at the pastel colours of the sky or feeling the depth of the sea under the boat the mind seems to stop chattering and one is merely in the present moment.
It's not easy to go up whether in career, personal development or just hiking on the mountains of Thassos. It's rocky, bumpy, dusty and there's always the danger of falling back to square 1. On the way however it's not just rocks and effort. Life puts little wonders meant to show you are on the right track. Signs are everywhere if you know where to look and how to listen. A red flag sometimes, a hidden cascade, people showing up to help or offering you walnuts honey – one is never alone in the quest.
We've taken the toughest road to the top which was actually closed and forbidden for tourists and after driving the ATVs through the forests along the steeps we found ourselves on the highest point of the island, at 1200 m above the sea.
The view from above is beyond words. It makes one feel small and whole at the same time. It's been quite a struggle to get there and the little vegetation sprung out from the rocky cliffs has a stubborn beauty like everything arisen from barren and harsh environments.
When done with the adventure of climbing you remember you're hungry, thirsty, the sun is burning your skin and there's no shade up the mountain. That's when you becoming anxious to see the villages on the way back where there's food, water and most importantly the comfort of being back among people, civilization.

Author Pseudonyms
The following is in response to reader Laura LaHaye's inquiry about the use of pseudonyms.
I've just read (and blurbed) a mystery manuscript by a highly talented and accomplished author of many books -- and whose name every DLer would know.
This author has used a pseudonym because his/her publisher feels that, despite good midlist sales, the author will never have a "break-through" book under his/her own name. The choice is to try and become a "new" writer waiting to be "discovered" or no contract and go find another publisher.
Call it short-sighted, stupid or whatever you might, this pervasive "lottery mentality" shows the swamp into which most of the publishing industry has sunk, mainly because it cannot figure out how to market and promote books.
As for the author I blurbed? I hope he/she makes it. He/she deserves it. I hope the blurb helps out.

There was not to be another fairytale ending on Centre Court.
A year on from Andy Murray's romantic triumph, and despite the urgings of the the home crowd and the tennis world, Roger Federer could not make more history as top-class sport reverted to a familiarly unforgiving story.
After three hours and 56 minutes of pulsating action and five brutal sets , the greatest player of all time lost to the younger man. At the end of a new classic won by a wonderful athlete, it was hard not to feel a sense of anti-climax.
When he won five consecutive titles here from 2003, Federer appeared unbeatable.
And he still oozed timeless elegance and class yesterday with his precision serves and gorgeous backhand - and also showed you don't win 17 Grand Slam titles without cojones of steel.
After back injuries, starting a family and only winning one Major in the last four years, his ability to return reinvigorated and re-motivated has been remarkable.
But time stands still for no man. Becoming the oldest male winner in the Open era would have been up there with Muhammad Ali winning his third heavyweight world title or Jack Nicklaus winning the Masters aged 46.
Instead it was the dead-eyed Serbian assassin who performed the sporting equivalent of shooting Bambi.
The new world No 1 won 6-7 6-4 7-6 5-7 6-4 and it was Djokovic shedding tears of joy on Centre Court.
Federer, who had been seeking a record eighth Wimbledon title, said he was overcome by emotion as he left Centre Court to be comforted by Kate and Wills.
And after admitting he could not read the Djokovic serve, the Swiss superstar said he could not predict whether he will ever return to a Wimbledon final again.
But he had the consolation of his family.
"It's just nice being in the Wimbledon finals, winning or losing," said the 32-year-old. "It's even more memorable when I see my kids there with my wife and everything. That's what touched me the most, to be quite honest. The disappointment of the match itself went pretty quickly.
"I was sad for a few minutes, but so happy to see family and a lot of nice ovations from the crowd. That lifted me up and made me feel better, no doubt. So I got over it fairly quickly. But clearly I was very sad walking off the court not with the winner's trophy."
The first three sets were excellent without being exhilarating as service dominated. Djokovic conceded only two points in his first four service games but Federer hung in there and saved two set points in the tiebreak before taking the lead.
At 51 minutes, the first set was only four minutes shorter than the women's final.
The first service break of the match - and only the second on the Federer serve this tournament - came in the third game of the second set and Djokovic levelled the match.
There were no break points in the third set as the No 1 seed nudged ahead by taking the tiebreak. At this stage it was a final between great players but not a great final.
That changed in the fantastic fourth set which saw five breaks of serve and Federer battling back from 5-2 down, breaking Djokovic when he served for the match and saving a Championship point at 5-4 with an ace before levelling the duel at two sets all.
The cries of "Roger, Roger, Roger" rang around Centre Court as this slow-burner came to the boil.
But Federer had never beaten Djokovic in five sets - and he was not to start yesterday. The Serb, 27, took a medical timeout for treatment on his knee at 2-1 but had the strength to get over the line.
"I thought it was a high-quality match and it was good stuff from both players out there," Federer said. "I think clearly we both walk away happy from here . I mean, him more happy than I am.
"But still, I'm happy overall. I felt the love out here, so thanks a lot. See you next year."

Thread: Lower Providence Rod & Gun Club?

Lower Providence Rod & Gun Club?
I was originally interested in joining LPRGC since they are very close to me. I called and explained that I travel frequently and work very strange hours, and asked if there was there a way I would be able to apply for membership without attending their meetings on thursdays, or possibly attending something on the weekend instead. I got a very rude and snobby "no that isnt possible", and I wrote them off and never called back.
Two years later about a month ago, I heard they do IDPA on saturdays and I became very interested because every other club I know of that does IDPA is during whe week at night when I am not often available. I thought it would be nice to shoot where I would also compete, however I still have a rough schedule and I am still put off by their poor attitude.
Does anyone else have a more positive outlook on LPRGC or know of a way to check out the club or even become a member with my schedule? I dont want to waste my time with them again if they are going to be difficult.

Re: Lower Providence Rod & Gun Club?
I had a hard time with them when I joined two years ago.
They recruited me when they had a booth set up at the Valley Forge gun show. I signed up, paid my money ($130 for the first year, I think), went to two meetings, did my four hour work day and qualified to use the indoor range.
The problem I had was in order to shoot in their little action shoots on Tuesday nights, I had to take their NRA basic pistol and personal protection in the home courses. Well, I've been a certified instructor in those disciplines for about six years and I've taught at least one of each of those courses per year since I've been certified. I was told in no uncertain terms that it didn't matter and I would have to take the courses anyway.
When I looked up the courses on their website, they were charging something like $60 for the basic pistol and $150 for the personal protection. I don't remember the exact costs. In order to play in their little reindeer games on Tuesday nights, it would cost me $300 to $350 and about 25 hours of my time.
The feeling I got from the people there was they had their own little clique thing going and didn't want any new members who were experienced shooters. The attitude reminded me of a college fraternity. I wasn't good enough to participate in their little club until I jumped through all the hoops and paid my proper respects to the "brothers".
Needless to say, I never went back there and did not renew my membership when it came due. They won't get another cent of my money.

Re: Lower Providence Rod & Gun Club?
Screw them then. I have enough qualifications and a job that requires a firearm, I don't need their approval. Ohwell, I guess its back to french creek outfitters, which is 20 minutes away instead of LPRGC which is 2 minutes away

Re: Lower Providence Rod & Gun Club?
Kimberton Fish and Game isn't that far from you.
They have some stiff rules though because the area around the ranges has been developed right up to the property line and they're afraid a round will get out and hit someone or something.
I don't think they have IDPA matches but they used to run pin matches on Sundays.

Re: Lower Providence Rod & Gun Club?
I just need a good place to shoot that is closer than french creek, that drive is such a pain even though its only 30 mins at most, I thought about LPGC because its only 2 or 3 miles away. I can shoot IDPA at LPRGC without being a member so that really isnt an issue.

Re: Lower Providence Rod & Gun Club?
I joined there a few years ago as they are very close to my house. I let the membership lapse the next year.
While I agree that their rules seem to be somewhat draconian, please do not be too harsh on them. They are in a very hostile environment that is landlocked by developments that are very very close.
Their rules are a necessity to stay in business as it would only take a single incident to put their future in jeopardy.
I have been shooting for many years and I also could not stomach the pre-reqs, especially the schedule for them. I would have needed to signup for their classes months in advance and it was just not for me. I did go to a couple shoots, to watch, and they were doing some neat indoor/low-light stuff that I would have liked to do but I just could not deal with the rules.
Mrs. 9mmMike & I went there for a "ladies day" and she got to shoot pistol, rifle and shotgun. It was after that event that I bought her an 1100 Special Field (she was already a pistol shooter) and we've been happily busting clays together ever since.
LPRG does a ton of good work to support the 2A, CMP and all shooting sports.
All in all, with a few exceptions, they are good guys operating in enemy territory. Please keep that in mind.

Re: Lower Providence Rod & Gun Club?
We shoot pistol at Target World in Montgomeryville. For shotguns (sporting clays) we drive up to Lehigh Valley Sporting Clays and it is well worth the drive time.
We will be heading out to French Creek to test a couple shotties on the free range on Monday (I hope).
French Creek Outfitters in Phoenixville is pretty close and has a nice indoor range.
Boulder valley is another small outdoor club in Perkiomenville that has a rifle and shotgun area.
I recently shot at Langhorne Rod & Gun and they have a nice range. It's not a terrible drive up the Turnpike.
I've not been to Kimberton yet to check them out though I'd like to get there.

Re: Lower Providence Rod & Gun Club?
If it was simply a situation of good guys operating in enemy territory, they wouldn't have tried to bilk me for $350. Good guys don't do that. Plus, the guys I dealt with were arrogant and rude. I got the impression that they thought they were God's gift to the shooting world and there was no way I was going to be allowed to shoot with them in their kingdom unless I learned how from them.
JLStorm asked if anyone had a more positive outlook on that club. From my response, my experience was obviously not positive. I didn't reply to JLStorm's post simply to put down LPRGC. I only responded to convey my experience.
Regardless of how hostile the environment is, how far "behind enemy lines" they are, or how much good work they do supporting the 2nd Ammendment, CMP or other shooting sports, there's no excuse for the way JLStorm and I were treated.

Re: Lower Providence Rod & Gun Club?
I shot at IDPA at this place. Didn't really have a good experience, along with a few friends who went. It will be the last time i visit this place. I talked to a guy who shoots there beacuse it's also next to his house and he said the guys there are very rude and have strict rules which are quite weird. Alot of the guys were decent, but there were quite a few which seemed like they really weren't accepting of new guys coming to shoot with them. Last time my group goes there.

The denim skirt. Favored by 90210's Kelly Taylor and Saved by the Bell's Kelly Kapowski in the 90s, the denim skirt recalls memories of the Peach Pit and meeting the gang at Bayside High. But today's denim skirts are made with newer lightweight fabrics and better tailoring, so you can avoid flashbacks to big bangs and Zach Morris (though he still pretty cute). I rocked this Forever 21 skirt paired with a Nordstrom chiffon jacket. While I love a great rerun, I'd rather watch it than wear it.
Happy Friday loves!

I read this book months ago and then promptly misplaced it and forgot to write the review. So here it is months later. Because my mind is a bit fuzzy on the plot and I'm tired from living in a still mostly unfurnished apartment, here is the synopsis from the back of my book:"In 1939, the residents of a remote Jewish village in Romania feel the war close in on them. Their tribe has moved and escaped for thousands of years-across oceans, deserts, and mountains-but now, it seems, there is nowhere else to go. Danger is imminent in every direction, yet the territory of imagination and belief is limitless. At the suggestion of an eleven-year-old girl and a mysterious stranger washed up on the riverbank, the villagers decide to reinvent the world: deny any relationship with the known, and start over from scratch. Destiny is unwritten. Time and history are forgotten. Jobs, husbands, a child, are reassigned. And for years, there is boundless hope. But the real world continues to unfold alongside the imagined one, eventually overtaking it, and soon our narrator-the girl, grown into a young mother-must flee her village, move from one world to the next, to find her husband and save her children, and propel them toward a real and hopeful future."
I wish I had written this review right after finishing the book because I remember having so much to say about it! I still really love the book, but I wish I could remember some of the details that stood out to me. I know I adored the writing. Ausubel is a fantastic writer. If you iffy about the story, then read it for the writing.
As for the story, I actually had to put this book down a few times because I knew what future laid ahead for the villagers. It is so sad because they basically are in a state of denial about WWII and what is happening to other Jewish people and could happen to them. The way that this story is told makes it seem very quiet, simple, but it's really so much more than that.
I really loved how Lena was the one who started the imaginary world, but also ended up being the one who realized that it just wasn't going to work for forever.
I highly recommend this book. Like I said above, there was so much I wanted to discuss in my review, but I waited too long to right the review so now I can't remember much :( But you will not be disappointed!
Some favorite quotes:
Page 25: "We were alone there, floating on a sea of black emptiness-all the chapters unwritten.
'The beginning of the perfect world,', I said."
Page 52: "'Oh, help!'" our father suddenly cried, loud enough to wake Moishe and me. He picked up a cabbage from the floor and threw it as hard as he could against the far wall, where it splashed open. My mother beckoned all three of us. She held us against her chest, my father crying and my brother and I stunned cold. She whispered into our hair, 'You are reasons to live. You are enough to survive for.' I grew older and heavier then, my mother's love bigger than my own small body could hold. Her love would hang on to my ankles and wrists on every journey I would ever have to take, even if she was the one who sent me on it. My mother's heart beat, oblivious to the upending universe around it. Everything goes on, it said. That is the best we can hope for."
Page 128: "A person who wants to believe lives in a world full of proof."
Page 143: "I do not wonder so much why we were left alone as long as we were. Why our village was skipped by marching Romanian soldiers with orders to send all the Jews and gypsies to the other side of the border for the Germans to deal with. What aches in every part of my body is that we did not hear their cries, the lives ending. Death by machine gun, death by starvation, death by sadness. Along we went, our lives day to day, morning to night. A million mothers, a million fathers, a million sons and daughters screamed at once, and all we heard was the good wind shake the trees out."

Day 1 in the books
We got Harvin!
Before I get into the potential day 2 picks for the Seattle Seahawks, I want to take a look at a couple things that happened on day 1.
Before the draft, I took to Twitter and Facebook a question to gauge Percy Harvin's value compared to the talent in this year's draft. The results where slightly mixed; however, just about everyone agreed that Percy Harvin would be the top wide receiver prospect.
We all know the Seahawks already used the 25th pick to select Harvin. If he were really in the draft class how high would he go?
— Brett Bivens (@NWProSports) April 25, 2013
I wanted to know how people felt about Harvin because the Seahawks traded this year's first and seventh round picks, as well as next year's third round pick. I wanted to see if the Seahawks were getting value to trade up using the draft value chart.
It is already clear that they got one heck of a talented young football player.
Since the consensus was that Harvin would have been the first wide receiver selected, and that the Rams selected Tavon Austin with the eighth overall pick, I will figure the Seahawks would have needed to trade up from the 25th pick to the seventh pick in order to select a better player than Tavon.
The seventh pick in the draft is worth 1,500 points, while the 25th pick is worth less than half (720). That is a deficit of 780 points heading to the Vikings. The Seahawks seventh round pick this year worth another 5.8 points.
It is tough to judge next year's pick for a couple reasons. First, next year's picks are considered less valuable than this year's. Second, we don't know where they will finish in the standings, so we have no idea what that pick will be.
For the sake of this piece, I am going to value it the same as the Seahawks' third round pick this year – 155 points.
If you add it all up, Seattle spent 880.8 points to get 1,500 – a savings of 619.2 points. I call that a value. To put it in perspective, the Rams paid five more points than the eighth pick in the draft was worth to acquire Austin.
To make a long story short, the Seahawks had a very solid first day of the draft.
Rounds 2-3
My dream scenario had the Seahawks selecting Alec Ogletree, but the Rams ruined that when they traded up to draft him late in the first round.
I still think that the top priority is to draft a weak-side linebacker. Currently, Seattle has the 56th overall pick, which is where the team should try to address the position.
The Buffalo Bills are likely to draft a linebacker with either the 41st or 46th pick. Meanwhile, the Panthers could select one with the 44th pick, and/or the Giants could use the 49th pick to select another.
Arthur Brown will likely be gone before the Seahawks ever get a chance to pick.
Khaseem Greene is a player whom I would love to see the Seahawks draft at 56. I think most of the talking heads would call this pick a reach, but when was the last time Pete Carroll or John Schneider cared what other people outside of the organization thought?
Maybe the Seahawks will make a bit of a surprise pick by selecting a player like Johnthan Banks.
They added Antoine Winfield in free agency, but drafting Banks in the second round would provide depth while giving the team a starting nickel corner of the future.
Guard is a position that we could see the team try to upgrade. Larry Warford was projected as a first round pick by some; however, I wouldn't be comfortable drafting him until the third round.
I have questions about his balance that I just can't have with a second round guard.
That said, if he is available at 87, I would be more than happy to see him drafted by Seattle.
Another player we could see Seattle add in the third round is tight end Jordan Reed. He is a raw tight end who could benefit from playing with Zach Miller, while eventually replacing Miller after Zach's contract is up.
The only thing I know for sure is that I have no idea what the Seahawks are going to do tomorrow. These are just a few players to get the wheels turning heading into the second day of the draft.
Go Seahawks!

"The product description refers to the "high quality sound" of this disc. They must be joking! 'Because They're Young', for one, has never sounded WORSE. I don't know what they've done to this classic track which has always sounded great in stereo on other CDs. The mix is barely recognisable here against the original single release. Same thing goes for 'Forty Miles Of Bad Road'...horrible. I could also have done without the fake stereo on 'Rebel Rouser', a track which was only ever recorded in mono. Avoid this CD and get the Bear Family comp instead. They are streets apart."
Don't Tweak The Twang
Gerald J Reynolds | Stevenson Ranch, Ca United States | 07/22/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)
"Great original hits by rock's first instrumental star, Duane "Have Guitar Will Travel" Eddy. This CD could have been the definitive Jamie hits collection, but clocking in at just over 32 minutes with only 15 tracks, that didn't happen. The stereo remixes are hit and miss. "Because They're Young" pushes the strings way back in the mix and pushes the drums way up. Check out the much better stereo mix on Bear Family's out of print "That Classic Twang" if you can get your hands on it. I'm not sure what's been done to "Forty Miles Of Bad Road", but it's lost the punch of the original mono mix. I don't have a problem with including these new mixes, but if you've got as much space left over on a CD as this one does, include the rest of the Jamie hits along with the original mono mixes. 5 stars for the King of the Twangy Guitar, 3 for "nice try" with some of this stereo, = 4 stars. And for killer stereo mixes of "Peter Gunn", "Because They're Young", "Theme From Dixie", "Gidget Goes Hawaiian" as well as mono masterpieces like "Ramrod" and "Moovin' 'N' Groovin', try to scrounge up a copy of "That Classic Twang"."

After years of rebuilding and failing to find the right formula, it finally seems like a franchise that almost left to a different city not too long ago is on the right path towards success. More

I love your creativity, great job on the bench, no one would know what it was unless you told them.ReplyDelete
What vision you have for the spaces around your house! I think you are going to start a new trend... people scouring the garage sales for old cribs to convert into beautiful benches. I love it! Way to repurpose it and turn it into something useable again.ReplyDelete
i love your outdoor spaces! your patio looks like a real usable room, and i love your teak furniture. such brightness. so great!ReplyDelete
Yes, your outdoor space is dreamy. Mine is under construction right now so pretty patios and decks make me reaaaaaally envious!ReplyDelete
Oooo. Very pretty and creative. Thanks for sharing and I love your porch.ReplyDelete
Very pretty bench. Great metamorphosis.ReplyDelete
I really like that bench and did not think of using a crib. I have seen this idea using a twin headboard and a bench both work well, I especially like your colors and the patio.ReplyDelete
This is certainly a great idea to reuse a crib!ReplyDelete
Oh,your baby crib bench is absolutely gorgeous...Your yard is dreamy..love it..xxReplyDelete

love it! oh who do i know getting rid of a crib! I would not paint the other furniture but maybe give it a light colorwash, so heavy woodgrains still show through but softer like the rest of the area.ReplyDelete
oops, it made me anonymous!ReplyDelete
Wow, that's incredible! What a fantastic transformation!ReplyDelete
Oh my gosh! I love this bench. I have made several benches from baby beds, but it never ocurred to me to use both end pieces! Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
That crib-cum-bench is genius. I love your porch - it looks so cozy.ReplyDelete

Tennis pro Ron Rudin demonstrates/practices strokes against a backboard in Wilson Park, Carrboro. There are some added remarks which may assist the viewer in...
Views: 80
His arm is predominantly straight in the backswing, with a closed face to the ground. Then he goes outwards and gets it even more straighter. lol Huge power to be had.
Yeah, that's what I've been working on, figuring out how to get the single bend and keep the balance going forward. I do a little double bend myself. I think it is how he bends the back leg and then lifts straight up while getting the arm straight. I have a video of Rafa practicing at Indian Wells where he limits how much he bends his arm initially as well. It is very easy to fall backwards, but you always go forward, which is great. I have this photo sequence in my blog that is here:
Thanks for you comment Tim. Where do you live? I plan to make another video soon. I've tried to make some corrections/improvements on my strokes. One of my problems is to strain a bit when I move my feet quickly, and it effects coordination with the stroke (especially on the volley), and I don't use strength in my legs enough (and need stronger legs). Also, I've been working on keeping the ball more at distance. I tend to get "crowded" (maybe too much double bend) and lose power. I can see the way my arm wraps around my head. Sometimes too close. This effects rotation also (my body can't keep up with my arm). I've tried to use a straight arm (like Nadal) a little more.
Do you still play?
Man, I like this vid. Double bend Nadal style forehand and stance, interesting because Nadal is mostly single bend but same general swing path motion. Backhand slice with lift, don't see that too often. Serves with backhand and continental grips, all with very good and different forms.
I used to practice for hours by myself in the racquetball court, when I was a racquetball player. Your volleying remind me of those days. I'd get super close and hit rapid balls, like a boxing bag drill.

LAS VEGAS (AP) Another game
Wholesale Geron Christian Jersey
, another record for the Vegas Golden Knights.
Alex Tuch scored the tiebreaking goal in the second period and the Vegas Golden Knights pulled away for a 7-3 victory over the Calgary Flames on Wednesday night.
The win moved the Golden Knights back atop the NHL standings with 84 points – a record for an expansion team in its inaugural season – one point ahead of Eastern Conference-leading Tampa Bay.
Article continues below ...
Ryan Carpenter, William Karlsson, Reilly Smith, Luca Sbisa, Erik Haula and Cody Eakin also scored for Vegas, which improved to 23-4-2 at home to also set the record for home wins by a team in its inaugural season. It topped the previous mark set by the Gordie Howe-lead 1979-80 Whalers (22-12-6).
Tuch also had an assist and his first fight of the season, giving him the so-called Gordie Howe hat trick.
"I thought our whole team played really hard, we got production from all our lines and it was really good to see," Tuch said. "I just try to come in here and play hard … it was good to get my first fight. I wasn't even thinking about the Gordie Howe part of it. We were all pretty high on emotions and everyone was going back and forth. I was getting a little physical and I think (Travis) Hamonic saw that
Wholesale J'Mon Moore Jersey
, so we got into each other's faces and he asked me if I wanted to fight."
Marc-Andre Fleury, starting his ninth straight game, made 28 saves for the Golden Knights, who rebounded from a loss on Monday to Pacific Division-rival Anaheim.
"That's what makes good teams, to be able to bounce back from bad games," Fleury said. "It's good that we're finding ways to put it behind us quickly and move on quickly and get ready for the next one."
Vegas is now 14-6 following a loss this season, outscoring teams 74-54 in those games.
TJ Brodie, Dougie Hamilton and Matthew Tkachuk scored for Calgary, which was 8-2-1 in its previous 11 road games. David Rittich finished with 19 saves.
With the score tied 3-3 in the second
Wholesale Michael Gallup Jersey
, David Perron found a streaking Tuch, who beat Rittich from a nice angle and went top shelf to give the Golden Knights the lead for good with 6:02 remaining in the period.
Early in the third, the Flames thought they had tied the game, but a challenge overturned Sean Monahan's goal when Calgary was ruled offside.
"It's definitely a momentum swing when you think you tied the game up, and we scored shortly after that to go up by two goals, it's a big difference in a hockey game," Vegas coach Gerard Gallant said.
Sbisa took Tuch's pass and launched a one-timer past Rittich to make it 5-3 at 3:17. It was Sbisa's 100th career point.
Haula tipped in Sbisa's slap shot from the point for his 23rd of the season with 8:45 remaining, and Eakin's seventh made it 7-3 about three minutes later.
"We just got outbattled in areas," Calgary coach Glen Gulutzan said. "We didn't create as much offense
Wholesale Jordan Akins Jersey
, and in a game like this on the road you've got have a little bit more. We've a got a few guys that were cruising, and it's not a time to cruise, it's a time to push."
Carpenter gave Vegas a 1-0 lead 2 1/2 minutes in with his sixth goal in nine games, but Brodie's fourth goal of the season tied it with 3:15 left in the first.
Karlsson redirected Reilly Smith's wrist shot to give the Golden Knights a 2-1 lead in the final minute, giving Vegas a power-play goal in 13 of its last 15 games.
Hamilton tied it for Calgary just 20 seconds into the second period, but Smith put Vegas back ahead 3-2 about a minute later with his 20th.
Tkachuk was credited with his 23rd when Vegas center Cody Eakin lost his stick and attempted to deflect a shot with his skate but tapped it past Fleury to tie the score with just under nine minutes left in the middle period.
Calgary remains two points back of the final Western Conference wild card spot with 69.
"That was frustrating, that loss, that's a bad one that loss," Tkachuk said. "Definitely not coming at a good time
Wholesale John Kelly Jersey
, 21 games left."
NOTES: The seven goals tied the Golden Knights' season high. … Vegas improved to 25-3-0 record when scoring the first goal of the game. Its .893 win percentage when scoring the opening goal leads the NHL. … Veteran forward James Neal, whose 24 goals rank second on the Golden Knights, missed his second consecutive game due to an illness he's been battling for more than a week. … Calgary coach Glen Gulutzan coached the Las Vegas Wranglers for six years when they first joined the ECHL, leading them to five playoff berths, two division titles and one Kelly Cup final appearance. …
Calgary: At Arizona on Thursday night.
Vegas: Hosts Vancouver on Friday night.

So, you've just registered an eBay account and decided to sell your BlackBerry on eBay. What do you do?
It's a very good place to sell because you're already familiar with the community there. You have the capability of reaching out to millions of people and closing a deal easily.
Selling a smartphone is something that's not easily learned. eBay can be a very chaotic place, and when you think about it, it's just better to pass down your phone to your younger sibling!
But why pass it down when you have the chance to make some money out of it? That's especially true when you're upgrading to a new phone. Selling your BlackBerry will help you with the costs of buying a new one!
If you're looking for some tips, then follow these:
Make Full Use of Your Item Title
When it comes to advertising your smartphone, always present the most important details up front.
Include important keywords that will make searching easier for potential buyers. For example, always include the brand and model number in the title. Also, try to add descriptive words, such as "mint." This allows users to know that your phone is shiny.
Use Quality Photos
Like a car salesman that gives a good look to the car being sold, it's also your responsibility to give potential buyers a good look at your phone.
Take quality pictures of the phone's screen, back and other sides. It's important you give a good presentation of the phone.
And while you're at it, post some sample photographs taken from your phone's camera.
Describe Your Phone in Detail
Aside from putting in nice photographs, it's important to put in a detailed description of your phone.
For example, what processor does it have? Is the phone unlocked or tied to a specific carrier? All of these details should be answered when describing your item.
You should also include the date when you bought it.
Research the Price
Before you go into any actual selling, it's important to research the price of your phone. You can do a search within the network of eBay. You'll get a good idea how much a typical smartphone sells there.
You can also research outside eBay, such as forums and even ask the opinion of your friends. The key is to make it reasonable without actually being overpriced. Nobody is going to buy an overpriced phone, unless it was used by a celebrity or some other famous person.
Immediately Reply
From time to time, you'll get specific inquiries made about your phone. It's important that you answer all of it immediately because it shows your genuine interest in getting your phone sold.
Aside from that, it's also a sign of respect because you're not wasting the buyer's time.
These tips are all you should follow when selling your BlackBerry on eBay. All in all, it's very easy to sell once you get used to the process. Eventually, you'll be selling like crazy!
