Consistency: It's between a Gel/Cream feeling hybrid. It's not overly sticky and easy to apply. Takes ten seconds, if that to apply this.
Color: White but goes on clear. Dries and looks like it isn't there.
Scent: It has a fresh, somewhat sweet, fruity scent. It's kinda strong, So I would apply just a thin layer so it doesn't cause my eyes to sting.
Results: It's hydrating. Definitely good for those who have very dry skin. My skin looked dewy after using this. Good for no makeup days.
But by the end of the day my nose was a bit more oily than normal. So I think the next few times I will apply this in my dry areas and apply a different make for my nose.

I absolutely love this product! I have very dry skin and was on the search for something that would hydrate my skin to the max. I have concocted different hydrating masks on my own, but that get's annoying and time consuming to do all the time. This mask makes life so much more simple. I just put a dime sized amount on my fingertips and rub all over my skin in the morning. I then let it sit for about 5 minutes and then wash with warm water. Afterwards, my skin feels so soft that I don't even need to wear makeup. I just dabble on some self tanner and walk out the door. My skin looks flawless all day!

Never met a Freeman mask I didn't like! Also really like the Superfruit peel-off mask. I also have super sensitive skin (had to send back the whole Cindy Crawford Meaningful Beauty regimen) and didn't have high hopes for a cheap drugstore mask. But lo and behold, it did not burn or irritate me, and actually feels really cooling and refreshing! Great for those hot summer mornings! Doesn't smell bad and is actually moisturizing as it claims. (Huh) It does however take some patience to remove because it is a bit slimy in texture but I suppose you could use a washcloth. Good overall.

I was buying a lot of freeman products online and was deciding to get this because I needed one more product to qualify for free shipping. This mask sounded nice because I get dry spots but I always read reviews about the products I'm buying. All the reviews I read online were either really really good or really really bad. I took a risk since it was only 3.99 plus with a coupon I got it for 3.10 so why not? I have pretty sensitive skin and was afraid about the burning sensation everyone else was talking about, but it didn't burn at all. It felt really cooling and the scent is pretty strong but didn't irritate my skin. It left my skin feeling really smooth, soft and nice.

The most horrible mask I ever tried, irritates skin, does not moisturise, even opposite, dries it out. Would never buy again
Terrible mask! I've using Freeman Claymask & pineapple mask which turn out really good on me and i decide to try this one! Do it hydrates my skin? No, its burn my skin. It start burning my skin once i still apply on my skin, and i have to wash off instantly since it burn a bit too much! No recommend it at all!
I'm glad that I waited a while to review this product. Initially I liked it. It went on smoothly and left my skin feeling soft and moist. Fragrance is mild, not offensive. BUT and its a big one, after a couple of uses (not sure exactly why) I began to experience a burning sensation if I left it on for more than a minute. I was worried that maybe it was because of my perhaps energetic use of my facial brush while cleansing prior to using the mask. Tried it again without any brush or anything before hand other than a gentle cleanser (Olay foaming face wash for sensitive skin) and the problem got worse instead of better. Now the burning was instantaneous and severe. Good news is once I wash it off, no more burning sensation and there is no visible redness on my skin (thankfully). But there is no way I would repurchase. In fact I wouldn't even give it away, it went straight to the trash.
Now about my skin, it is combination and I do still struggle with breakouts. It is mildly sensitive in that yes some things do bother my skin but for the most part I don't normally have this kind of reaction to products. I was extremely surprised by how painful this thing was. I am very happy that there doesn't appear to be any lasting damage - at least not any visible traces on my skin right after use.
Unfortunately I didn't research before buying and I am not sure what ingredient could possibly have done this - I will leave it to far more knowledgeable MUAers who have serious skin care info. I would just advise to stay away from this product or ensure you buy it somewhere where you can return it.
Bottom line - stay away. Would not repurchase.
I love this mask! My skin gets dry from the Roc retinol, Apha hydrox cream, and Philosophy Booster C powder that I use for ani-aging. And I use this mask to restore moisture back into my skin. I use all the Freeman Beauty masks, and have had no adverse reactions to any of them. I highly recommend their products.

After trying the Freeman facial mask with the dead sea minerals, I figured that I would try something else. When I saw the Gogi berry one and saw that this was a hydration mask, I decided to purchase it and give it a try, it was something new, after all. When I first applied the mask, it tingled a little bit, which I figured it was supposed to do. However, after I washed it off, about five to ten minutes later, my face was itching and within a half hour, it was red. Initially, I thought that this may have been an allergic reaction, but after seeing some other people have had similar things happen, I'm not so sure. I definitely will not be purchasing this specific product again.

"It's a small deal, but it's proving very popular with good demand and nice quality," said sales manager David Cook. "It should go until mid-May, but it could go to the end of May, it's hard to say."
Last year was the first year San Diego-based Andrew & Williamson Fresh Produce had a year-round organic strawberry program, from Baja Califor-nia to Watsonville.
"It was a bit nerve-wracking because we didn't know how strawberries, let alone organic strawberries, were going to fare in the marketplace under last year's severe economic conditions," said Mark Munger, vice president of market-ing.
"Our customers responded well, so this year we've upped the acreage in Baja," Munger said. "Finding unused land there is easy, so it can be certified organic instantly."
Organics now represents 5% of the company's acreage, he said. Some Baja fields are covered in screened shade houses to keep out pests.

Alright, Fredericton. You and I haven't seen eye to eye much in the past, but I'm willing to forgive and forget what with you playing host to the 2nd edition of the Shivering Songs festival. Like most fantastic festivals, Shivering Songs isn't about Redbull tents, corporate sponsors and buzz bands that will be lucky to be working at the festival in a few years. No, Shivering Songs is about giving fans of great music and under appreciated artists a chance to bask in the sun.
This weekend – Feb. 3rd – Feb. 5th – Fredericton opens its heart to artists like Hot Toddy, Mark "effing" Kozelek, Postdata, The Olympic Symphonium, Snailhouse, Andrew Sisk, David Myles, Mike O'Neill (whose new record is one of the best slices of mature, career spanning pop you will hear this year) and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Honestly, it's worth buying a pass just to see Mark mesmerize you with his dancing fingers and subdued but powerful voice, but you won't find a low water mark on this lineup.
You can see the complete schedule here, but do yourself a service and just grab a pass and soak in as much music as you can. Here are a couple of songs to whet your appetite. Enjoy!

The UK is facing a prolonged skills crisis for security professionals because businesses have ignored the need for established career paths, according to Ernst & Young.
The number of graduates interested in a career in cyber security has plummeted over the past decade, Mark Brown, director of information security at Ernst & Young told V3.
"If you go back to 1998 there were 32,000 graduates a year in computing, maths, engineering, the traditional entry points for a career in information security," Brown said.
"By 2010 that figure was reduced to 7,000 people, a 70 percent drop on graduates entering the industry."
Brown said the lack of interest is largely due to the way businesses have marginalised cyber security, seeing it as something to be outsourced to another company rather than dealt with internally.
"People don't see information security as a career point, why is that? Offshoring. Since the mid-90s a lot of the work information security is doing has been outsourced to companies like IBM. That results in a derogation of interest in the skill set, as people don't recognise it as a career," said Brown.
"What we now need to do as a nation is to readdress that skill perception. It's going to take 10 to 20 years to repair the skills perception, right through from 10 year olds at schools."
The warning of a 20 year wait for enough security professionals was recently outlined by the National Audit Office (NAO) in a report into the government's Cyber Strategy.
Alastair has worked as a reporter covering security and mobile issues at V3 since March 2012. Before entering the field of journalism Alastair had worked in numerous industries as both a freelance copy writer and artist.

A state district judge has moved the case involving the killing of a 6-year-old girl out of town after a defense attorney requested such a transfer.
Last week, Judge Abigail Aragon decided to transfer the case against David Levi Chavez, 21, to Santa Rosa.
Chavez is charged with an open count of murder in connection with the death of Jasmine Garcia, who had just graduated from kindergarten.
"I and the family of Jasmine were very disappointed that the venue (for the trial) has changed," District Attorney Richard Flores said in a statement.
"You're doing fine, Dad! You can make it." With that, my youngest son Ben, less than half my age, entreated me as I climbed and descended a mountain — all part of his and his wife Heather's gift on my birthday. I didn't need a pep talk; I needed some horse liniment.
A former Las Vegas police officer is accused of double-dipping while working for the city and taking gas for personal purposes.
Shawn Montoya, 37, 25 Flagstone Road in Las Vegas, was charged April 13 with one count of fraud and 19 counts of forgery in connection with his work for the city.
The alleged criminal activity occurred from October 2007 to March 2008. Montoya resigned quietly from the local police department in late March 2008. State police said that Montoya took nearly $1,100 in value from the city.
West Las Vegas Key Club members are always on the go, participating in community events and volunteering their time to worthy causes. Members say doing good works is also good for the soul.
Club President Angelique Arguello said, "It's such a great reward knowing that you helped someone and knowing that you're making a difference in someone's life. It's a great feeling."
Key Club sponsor Christine Rodriguez said the organization is the oldest and largest club for youths in the world.
Not much has changed over the last six months in efforts to improve Las Vegas' water situation, but the city has undertaken a few initiatives that show promise, according to a report released recently.
The Las Vegas Community Water Board, a nonprofit group that started a couple of years ago to keep water on local officials' minds, reported that the city has no new storage capacity for water and that water conservation ordinances don't appear to have a high priority in city government.
Instead of arithmetic and spelling, area elementary students got to learn about cows and bugs recently.
It was all a part of the sixth annual Kids and Kows and More Expo at Zamora Arena. The event was sponsored by the Southwest Dairy Farmers Association.
Tonya Collins of the New Mexico Beef Council said during the expo that children rotate to a number of stations where they learn about America's breadbasket, and about the farmers and ranchers who essentially feed the world.
The leader of Highlands University's faculty union is accusing the school's president of giving "false and misleading" information about labor negotiations.
Kathy Jenkins, president of the Faculty Association, made the charge in a mass e-mail to around 90 union members earlier this week. She was responding to Jim Fries' statements to the Optic in which he contended that the school was trying to get the union to the bargaining table but that the union had canceled the last few meetings.
So this is Earth Day, a moment in which most of us give little more than lip service to the world we live on. But in recent years, it seems there's been a growing national consciousness in recent years. Maybe it was Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" that shifted our focus from feel-good environmentalism to real-world talk about carbon footprints. Or maybe it was the war in Iraq, which has highlighted our need to be less independent on foreign oil, but Americans are clearly "thinking green" as never before.
Arianna Romero and other fifth-graders in the Las Vegas City Schools district were finding out firsthand that girls can do anything in the workforce that boys can do.
"I learned that every job isn't just for guys; girls can do carpentry and contracting. We can become scientists, archaeologists, biologists and attorneys," Romero said. "I want to be a veterinarian when I grow up."
After an hour behind closed doors, the Las Vegas City Schools board voted unanimously to uphold the expulsion of an 18-year old student arrested on drug charges in an investigation on Robertson High School grounds.
Board President Phillip Vigil called for a vote, with Patrick Romero and Ramon "Swoops" Montaño offering a first and second on the motion. Romero, Montaño, Gabriel Lucero, Elaine Luna and President Vigil all voted yes to expel the student.

I have a Kenmore gas grill ( I think it's made by Char Broil) I can't locate the serial number on it. BEWARE, please check your connections at the gas hose to the front dials and burner assembly. Any good conection at this point SHOULD be, a brass coulpler. My grill has a barbed fitting connected to the hose with a crimped band. THAT CONNECTION FAILS...If you left the gas on at the bottle valve you will have propane leaking out of the connection. THIS is VERY BAD. If your cooking something and the connection is leaking .... Take coverrrrrr..................
This unit ... with the crimped connection is nothing short of a fire bomb ... Inspect your connection and if there is any dought call the 800 number on the grill... if you can find it. I was lucky .... the connection failed and my front knobs melted and fire was shooting out of the knob holes. BUT i'm not hurt... PLEASE be safe ..

Taking two snapshots at the same time
>From looking at the 3.4.5 code, it seems like
ZooKeeperServer.takeSnapshot() method does not have protection against being invoked twice by different threads. There is some protection against spawning two snapshot threads from SyncRequestProcessor.run() but this is just about it. Is there any inherent danger in having two ZooKeeperServer.takeSnapshot() overlapping their execution in time? Is it a thread to data integrity or is it just a possible performance issue? I'm thinking of adding a new four-letter command to force a snapshot creation by a command from outside before snapCount threshold is reached. Is it safe to invoke ZooKeeperServer.takeSnapshot() from a four-word command handler or does it need to be submitted as a Request object into the pipeline of Request Processors? Regards, /Sergey |

- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Surrey already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Surrey breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Australian Shepherd/Husky breeders who help with Australian Shepherd/Husky rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Surrey paves the way for another one to be saved.

As species diverge, specific molecular changes drive phenotypic changes and ultimately adaptation. Understanding the mechanism of the evolution of new functionality in genomes and how this correlates with the phenotypic divergence of species is the central theme of my research group.
Important genomic events include horizontal transfer, gene duplication, sequence divergence, gene expression divergence, mRNA splicing pattern divergence, and a host of other mechanisms. Detecting and collating these different events in a phylogenetic perspective is an ongoing process. This involves methods development, both at the DNA and protein sequence levels using model-based approaches, at protein structural levels, and at systems network levels.
One example of the application of these methods is the development of The Adaptive Evolution Database (TAED), which is now funded by NSF. This database includes information on protein coding sequences that appear to be undergoing adaptive evolution or changes of function along specific branches of the tree of life and has been established in a phylogenetic context. This database is a resource for asking the question, "What are the genes or molecular events that diverged as different species separated from a common ancestor?". The computational problem of gene tree-species tree reconciliation has become of interest in this context.
TAED and gene family evolution in general are also useful in combination with the Protein Data Bank (PDB) for analyzing the effect of protein structure and folding on the fixation of mutations during evolution. At the same time, we are also modeling the evolution of proteins to see how well our models explain observed genomic data. In addition to understanding how structure constrains evolution, we are also interested in how evolution constrains biologically observed protein structures (folds).
Specific examples of proteins are also of interest. These are studied computationally by examining substitutional patterns in a phylogenetic perspective and comparing that with three dimensional protein structures and literature mutagenesis studies to develop models for the roles of specific mutations in functional adaptation (for example in carbamoyl phosphate synthetase and in deoxyribonucleoside kinase). Other proteins of interest are studied further through experimental analysis coupled to phylogenetic analysis (for example plasminogen activator and myostatin). Myostatin has become a major protein of interest in our group as a model system for positive selection (ruminants) and for retention and functional divergence after gene duplication (salmon).
This research paradigm fits together at the interface of several fields, enabling us to address basic questions in biology and evolution. An understanding of the role of specific molecular processes underlying phenotypic effects allows us to better understand the evolution of species.

[1683] High Incidence of BCL-6 Gene Abnormalities in Primary Central Nervous System Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma in Immunocompetent Patients
SE Martin, EM Hattab, MA Al-Abbadi, RA Stohler, GH Vance, M Czader. Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, IN; James H. Quillen Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Mountain Home, TN
Background: Primary central nervous system diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (PCNSL) are rare neoplasms characterized by a dismal prognosis. Despite emerging consensus that they arise from lymphoid cells at the post-germinal center stage of differentiation, the majority of the cases of PCNSL are positive for BCL-6, a marker selectively expressed by germinal center B cells. B-cell-6 is a proto-oncogene that codes for a zinc finger transcription repressor required for germinal center formation and function. We have studied the incidence of BCL-6 gene rearrangements in a well characterized group of PCNSL.
Design: Twenty-two cases of PCNSL were studied. Immunostains for CD10, BCL-6 and MUM-1 were used to determine germinal center vs. post-germinal center cell origin. In-situ hybridization for EBER was performed in each case. Fluorescence in-situ hybridization was performed in formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tissue using breakapart probe for BCL-6, and dual color/dual fusion probes for MYC/IGH and IGH/BCL2. Survival was calculated using a Kaplan-Meier method.
Results: Thirteen patients were female. Median age at diagnosis was 64 years (range 13-80). None of the patients had history of immunodeficiency. Eighteen cases were of post-germinal center cell phenotype. BCL-6 immunostain was positive in 20 cases. One case was positive for EBER. Eight cases (36%) showed rearrangements of BCL-6 gene. Additional three cases showed numerical abnormalities of BCL-6 (2 monosomy and 1 trisomy). The remaining 11 cases had normal BCL-6 signal. The majority of cases with BCL-6 rearrangement lacked MYC/IGH and IGH/BCL2 translocations with only one case being positive for IgH/BCL2 fusion. Two cases with rearranged BCL-6 showed trisomy/tetrasomy of BCL-2 gene, and one showed evidence of genomic instability with trisomy/tetrasomy for all studied probes. Even though there was a trend for shorter survival in patients with BCL-6 gene rearrangements, Kaplan-Meier analysis did not reach statistical significance.
Conclusions: High incidence of abnormalities of the BCL-6 gene was detected by FISH analysis in PCNSL in immunocompetent individuals. The majority of cases were of post-germinal center cell origin and were EBV negative.

A stopcock is a valve used to restrict or isolate the flow of a liquid or gas through a pipe.
In the United Kingdom a stopcock, not to be confused with a gate valve, is used to prevent flow of water into a domestic water system. There are usually two stopcocks for a home. One is usually found just outside the property boundary and can be used to isolate the building from the water supply. The other is inside the property where the supply enters the property. These valves are provided to allow maintenance and prevent flooding if the domestic water system is pierced.
The domestic stopcock was designed over 100 years ago, traditionally the position of the valve would be in the kitchen of the premises. Recently insurance companies have insisted that the homeowner is required to maintain the device that is fitted to the property. It is by regulation that each property in the UK should have one fitted. It is estimated that only one person in three knows where their internal stopcock is situated, and recently insurance premiums and excesses applied to policies have increased to reflect the damage caused to household contents through the uncontrolled escape of water.
Laboratory glassware[edit]
For laboratory glassware, items sometimes have plug valves with conically-tapered inserts called stopcocks (sometimes referred to as "plugs" by laypeople) with different bores. The valve bodies are usually made of glass, while the plugs are made of glass or Teflon. You also can find valves with Teflon spindle (for example one way valves or angled valves) When the plug is made of glass, the handle and plug are fused together in one piece out of glass. When both valve body and plug are made of glass, grease is usually used to give a good seal, as well as to prevent the valve from seizing and subsequently cracking.
Special stopcocks are available, such as a double-oblique design used in Schlenk lines which permit the application of inert gas and vacuum from the same stopcock.
Stopcocks are often parts of laboratory glassware such as burettes, separatory funnels, Schlenk flasks, and columns used for column chromatography. The stopcock is a smooth tampered plug or rotor with a handle, which fits into a corresponding ground glass female joint. The stationary female joint is designed such that it joins two or more pieces of glass tubing. The stopcock has holes bored through it which allow the tubes attached to the female joint to be connected or separated with partial turns of the stopcock. Most stopcocks are solid pieces with linear bores although some are hollow with holes to simple holes that can line up the joints tubing. The stopcock is held together with the female joint with a metal spring, plastic plug retainer, a washer and nut system, or in some cases vacuum. Stopcocks plugs are generally made out of ground glass or an inert plastic like PTFE. The ground glass stopcocks are greased to create an airtight seal and prevent the glass from fusing. The plastic stopcocks are at most lightly oiled.
Stopcocks are generally available individually with some length of glass tubing at the ports so that they can be joined by a glass blower into custom apparatus at the point of use. This is especially common for the large glass manifolds used in high vacuum lines. Many additional variations exist in both plug boring and joint assembly.
- 1-, 2- and 3-way stopcocks
- 3-way-stopcocks acc. to Czako
- Needle valve stopcocks straight or right-angled
- Burette stopcocks straight or lateral
- Desiccator stopcocks
- Vacuum stopcocks one-way straight or parallel, one-way right-angled or 2-way

Kefalonia! It is the largest of the Ionian Islands, an astonishing place full of contrasting beauty, "mysteries" and surprises. Along with Ithaca, Kefalonia is a prefecture with a population of 39.448 and extends to 904, 4 square km.
Skala is a region in the South-Eastern edge of kefalonia and is the island's best kept secret with its mountainous backdrop and breathtaking scenery.
Find your way to Captain's while in Skala.
Mail on Sunday (London) January 16, 2005
Shaun of the Dead's mandolin
by Simon Pegg MY fiancee Maureen and I had a number of choices for our holiday destination.
Top of the list was Kefalonia, closely followed by Kefalinia, in third place we were considering Cephalonia and, as a further alternative, we discussed Devon. In the end we chose the first three. Extravagant? Not at all. The first three are all the same place!
OK, I know you knew that. But the first part of this article is a history lesson so I wanted to kick off with a gag. Named, somewhat indecisively, after the mythical hero Cephalus, Kefalonia is an unassuming and somewhat reluctant celebrity in a sometimes clamouring archipelago.
At 265 square miles, it is the largest island in the Ionian Sea. Believed to be the first of Greece's many islands to be inhabited, Kefalonia has a rich and varied history, having experienced Roman, Norman, Frankish, Venetian, Italian, Nazi and Hollywood occupation. The last two, of course, were the respective inspiration for, and consequence of, Louis de Bernieres' novel Captain Corelli's Mandolin. The occupation by the Nazis, and the subsequent massacre by them of Italian troops during the Second World War, resonates still.
Legend has it the psychic fallout from the atrocities committed here by the Nazis is such that anyone staying on the island is reputed to experience nightmares (although this could also be attributed to the strength of the Pina Coladas).
As far as the fiction is concerned, it's a testament to Kefalonia's modest, insular nature that the island didn't leap on to its own bandwagon and build a theme park/mandolin factory.
There is perhaps one Captain Corelli's Bar in Sami, where the film is set, but otherwise the only evidence of this benign invasion is the occasional signed photograph pinned up in tavernas frequented by the cast.
Talking of autographs, nature etched her own signature on to the landscape in August 1953 when an earthquake destroyed major parts of the island, including Skala, a rural village set into a mountainside to avoid detection by passing pirates. It was rebuilt at the edge of the sea and reborn as a tourist destination. What remains of the old village today is a quiet memorial to Skala's past, a lost outpost, crumbling amid the trees.
There's a lovingly maintained graveyard, a rusting olive press and the odd aggressive looking goat. More about Skala later. For now, the lesson ends. As a younger man, I scoffed at the notion of ritual, unless it was voodoo and even then I might have petulantly asked: 'Why does it always have to be chickens?' Repetition for me was the death of excitement. The idea of returning to the same holiday destination year after year would have been anathema to my thinner, slightly better looking self conduct reserved for grim, wordless wrinklies, who had long ago put aside the concept of adventure.
These days I see things differently.
Sure, I love adventure as much as the next thirty something but now I am enlightened to the possibilities of habit.
Sometimes, getting away isn't solely about discovery and activity, sometimes it is simply about stillness. Sometimes it's nice to skip the acclimatisation and saunter straight to your favourite spot on the beach. So it is with me and Kefalonia.
WE HAPPENED upon Kefalonia quite by chance during one of those potluck travel agent consultations, at which they suggest a destination and you shrug and look at your partner and say: 'Yeah, sounds nice,' as if you have a clue.
Four years and four visits later, we consider ourselves native.
The island is big enough to feel significant but small enough to circumnavigate in a day. Argostoli, the buzzing capital, is cosmopolitan, full of great shopping, bustling piazzas and places of historical interest. Nearby is Lassi, the largest and most commercial area of the island. The beaches are a little more crowded here with tourists and Greeks alike but the sand is soft and the atmosphere relaxed and integrated. Heading east up the coast brings you to the unfeasibly beautiful Myrtos Beach, a dazzling ellipse of bone white sand shoring a turquoise bay.
Further up is Assos, a secluded coastal village, overlooked by a Venetian fort. At the northern tip of the island is the very posh Fiscardo, home of the 'yacht-lot'. The shops are posh, the food is posh, even the fish in the bay swim in a haughty fashion and look down on shrimps.
Elsewhere, as you head back down the western coastal road, you'll come across Agia Efimia, a picturesque fishing village and Sami, home of De Bernieres' eponymous captain. Inland are some wonderful monasteries and some fabulous caves, which all deserve a visit. For these two holidaymakers though, our hearts belong to Skala.
We chose Skala because we were told it combined the peaceful solitude of a small coastal resort with a vibrant evening culture that never threatened to include the sight of sweaty-headed boys seeking sex with girls who squawk and are orange.
Sure, there are sun-loungers on the beach and a giant inflatable banana often skims the surf in the near distance, but so what? The loungers are high quality and only ever two deep and the rough sand is never overpopulated.
Even the muffled yelps of giddy aquatic euphoria can be quite hypnotic against the insistent rustle of the sea, often inspiring those weird Kefalonian dreams as you drift off in the afternoon heat, your book resting on your chest.
One thing we have altered with each successive visit is our accommodation. Last year we stayed at the Nine Muses Hotel, a beautifully maintained group of apartments set back off the seafront.
The rooms are clean and serviced daily, there are two pools for those who can't be bothered to make the 30-second trek to the beach and the Aeolos restaurant serves up authentic Greek cuisine all day.
If you're lucky enough to be there on the first Thursday of the month, the Aeolos puts on a display of authentic Greek dancing.
The two-man, two-woman troupe offers up some delightfully complex girl/boy kick-and-step exchanges before roping in the surrounding diners for some 'not-as-easy-asitlooks' fun.
Skala is indeed replete with restaurants. On an average holiday you can easily dine somewhere different every night.
The most popular and arguably the best of the bunch is The Pines.
Situated on the lower corner of the main street, The Pines is an everbustling favourite with regular visitors to Skala. The food is delicious and the service very friendly, although the latter tends to be the case everywhere. Try the lamb a la Pines for a truly scrumptious signature dish. Their Kefalonian meat pie is the best in town.
Elsewhere, the Aquarius, a newer taverna, is fast becoming a rival to the more established eateries, with a great menu and an attentive staff. I could continue to single out the better places as they come to mind but most have their draws.
The trick is to look for the locals. Skala is popular with Kefalonians and mainlanders alike and the presence of a Greek family or two in a restaurant is usually a good sign.
AS FAR as bars in Skala go, for me there is only one. I'm a great believer in having a ' local', a drinking establishment where everybody knows your name and your bar bill is always totted up with a sigh, as if it is irrelevant.
Our local in Skala is the Captain's Bar, opposite The Captain's Rest Hotel (neither of which is named after De Bernieres' protagonist but rather a fishing captain), which is arguably the life and soul of the town. Its design is basic, open to the sky and fairly small, with extra seating over the narrow road at the hotel entrance. Awnings can be deployed if shelter is needed but this is a rare occurrence.
A tree grows from a well amid the chairs and tables, and the bar purveys the most exciting and comprehensive list of cocktails outside Argostoli. The real draw, though, is the service.
Managed by Tina, daughter of Vangelis, the hotel manager, and driven by her friend and cocktail maestro Monica, with extra help coming from Tina's boyfriend and lady's favourite Andreas, the bar has one of the friendliest atmospheres of any I have known.
Like a couple of cheeky, beached mermaids, they entice and beguile passers-by with calls of ' Hello Darlink' and the promise of a seemingly endless happy hour.
With a dazzling amiability, they have gathered a vast entourage of returning patrons, exemplified by the hundreds of photos adorning the walls. A visit to Skala is not complete without a night or three at the Captain's. When you get there, look for our photos and tell Tina and Monica that Mr Simon says hello.
Perhaps it is because the British were first on the scene after the earthquake in 1953, perhaps it is simply a matter of natural good nature but there is a genuine mutual affection between the British and the Kefalonians. Last year the island was gripped with a palpable sense of elation as the Greek football team progressed through the finals of Euro 2004.
HAVING inevitably seen our own national side stumble and fall from contention, the English tourists could not help but transfer allegiance to the Greek side, as they ropea- doped their way towards ultimate victory.
The night Greece defeated France, securing themselves a place in the semi-finals, you'd have been forgiven for thinking they had already won the tournament. Still two games from destiny, the locals erupted into paroxysms of glee.
Skala was lit up by fireworks supposedly reserved for the forthcoming Olympic opening ceremony, as car horns hooted and the usually quiet locals joyously celebrated their shock progression.
The downhearted English were buoyed up vicariously and waiters, bar staff and shopkeepers alike were embraced and congratulated with affectionate resignation. Our holiday came to an end just before Greece played their penultimate match.
I can only imagine the hysteria that ensued after their eventual triumph. I doubt there is a single plate left in the entire nation. If you make the trip anytime soon, it would be wise to take your own crockery.
Whenever you visit this beautiful Ionian enclave and wherever you choose to stay, be it Skala or elsewhere, you can be assured of a warm welcome and a beautiful setting. Sometimes multiple identities can simply add to the charm. Kefalonia, Kefalinia, Cephalonia so good they named it thrice.

How many Warmup mats or panels can I connect to one thermostat?
- Our WUDG programmable thermostat has an amperage limit of 15 amps. You can connect as many mats or panels as needed as long as the amperage doesn′t exceed the limit. In general, you can connect about 300sqft on a thermostat.
- Note that while it′s a matter of amperage rather than a number of mats, each mat or cable must connect separately to the thermostat. Mats and cables do not get 'daisy-chained′.
- For example, when using two mats in a bathroom, one for the floor and one for the shower, you can connect them both to the same thermostat. Same goes for a carpet installation in the bedroom, and a tile job in the bathroom. These are common projects, and we′d be happy to help you with your specific requirements.

Wouldn't it be easier just to use T8s? You can get virtually the same light intensity from standard T8 tubes as from overdriven T12s, since you can pack the smaller tubes closer together. And you'll use much less electricity, run cooler, the tubes will last longer, and you don't have to worry about rewiring ballasts and whether the ballast is even overdrivable. |

Thanks for the reply, shrubs_n_bulbs. Well, after going through the effort to figure out what I needed, needed to do, and the best course of attempting it...I started stumbling upon the excess heat issue regarding overdriving and seedlings. Seems to me that the basic undriven 40w T12 lamp fixture would probably do what I need it to do...get some tomato, broccoli, etc., seedlings ready for transplanting. But, if brighter is better... The idea of using mltiple T8's sounds good, but is there a readymade (fairly inexpensive) multiple (more than two tube) fixture for T8's or do I need to get the dremel out and start assaulting a shoplight? The fixtures I've seen that are stated as being ok for T8's allow only two tubes and they're also for T12's so there's no spacing savings...I might as well use T12's. I did a short search and found a 3-tube T8 fixture on eBay that would run around $90...maybe that's why I was looking at the overdriven $20 T12 setup???? I'd really like a cooler running setup, but that extra $70 hurts. Got any suggestions for me...I'm definitely open for them! :) Thanks, |

My opinion is that the readymade fluorescent fittings are not that useful as plant lights. They have silly things like diffusers or baffles that we don't want, and other than that are just a pretty surround for the wiring. They may or may not have a useful reflector but you'll certainly want a larger reflector anyway or a white covering around the tubes, and possibly completely around the plants. Look for a high frequency electronic ballast that will drive the number of tubes you want. They are readily available for up to four tubes in the four-foot length, and a four-tube ballast costs little more than a single tube one. Here's an example for $25. Get some end caps and a few dozen feet of wire and you have a lighting system. Oh, you'll need some tubes too :) F32T8 tubes are a couple of dollars each or less for the 20,000 hours 3,000-ish lumen variety. Four foot 40W tubes would be nice but are near impossible to find. In the UK we have standadised on 36W T8s which are nice with 3,300+ lumens. |
Ed, "The idea of using multiple T8's sounds good, but is there a readymade (fairly inexpensive) multiple (more than two tube) fixture for T8's or do I need to get the dremel out and start assaulting a shoplight?" No need to assault the shoplights. Just hang them side-by-side. Home Depot's Commercial Electric 732-334 ShopLights take two T8 or T12 bulbs and are only 5 inches wide, so you can easily get three of them over an 18-inch-deep shelf or four of them over a 24-inch shelf. The 732-334 ShopLights cost only about $8 each. Philips cool white T8 bulbs cost $2 each. That lets you get a lot of light for a reasonable investment. Since overdriving them gives 50% more light, that is the equivalent of 9 T8 bulbs over an 18-inch shelf or 12 T8 bulbs over a 24-inch shelf. That's plenty of light for growing healthy stocky seedlings to a reasonably large size for setting out. And that's much more light then you get from expensive commercial plant stands. Here in our short Maine growing season I have been setting out pepper plants with sizable peppers already set on them. If you don't want to cannabilize the shoplights for extra ballasts, you can purchase the SL15T ballasts separately at the Sunpark Electronics online store for $6.50 each. That's cheaper than paying $8 for a shoplight to cannabilize for the ballast. "The fixtures I've seen that are stated as being ok for T8's allow only two tubes and they're also for T12's so there's no spacing savings...I might as well use T12's." The 40-watt T12's aren't as efficient as the 32-watt T8's, so the T8's put out less heat for the same amount of light. The overdriven T8s are warmer to the touch than the normally driven ones, but still not hot. As long as you maintain at least an inch or two clearance between the bulbs and your plants, heat from overdriven lighting hasn't been a problem for me. MM |

Howdy MM and shurbs. I checked the HD in Montgomery and didn't see the suggested shoplights. The ones HD had in the $8 range specifically stated they had magnetic ballasts. That's why I opted for the $8 Wallyworld ones. I'm thinking of setting up two fixtures. I've got an old home built stand that was designed for two fixtures hanging side-by-side. If I'm figuring it right, if I overdrive the fixtures I should be able to roughly attain a 6-tube illumination for each shelf (using to fixtures per shelf). As for ordering the Sunpark ballasts, if the Wallyworld ones will work it's probably about as cheap to use them (figuring shipping vs. tax, etc.). I think I'll go ahead with the Wallyworld fixtures and see how they work. That would use both "proprietory" ballast end caps. Once I get that fixture going I'll have a metal fixture and two "non-ballasted" end caps that in conjunction with the Sunpark ballasts will build another OD fixture. Being as I've got a couple of older, magnetic ballasted fixtures out in the shed I might go ahead and order extra Sunpark's when I order. Thanks for the info regarding the heat aspect of the T8's. That helps, especially coming from someone up north that seriously relies on the lights. I guess I when looking a the wattage rating of the bulbs I was stuck in the incandescent mentality of higher wattage being brighter. I guess the form-factor (T8 being skinnier than T12) somehow allows the T8 to be as bright but use fewer watts???? Ed |
Ed, It's not just the form factor that makes T8's more efficient than T12s. It's a much more modern design, by many decades. And the T8s contain significantly less mercury. MM |
- Posted by dirt_tracker 8-SouthCentralAlabam (My Page) on Mon, Oct 16, 06 at 13:37
The "less mercury" part is all I need to know to persuade me to go the T8 route. Sometimes progress in technology actually ends up being good, eh? :) Ed |
- Posted by shrubs_n_bulbs z8/9 UK (My Page) on Mon, Oct 16, 06 at 16:44
What MM says is partially true. It is possible to find T12 tubes with virtually the same performance as the best T8s (and equally possible to find terrible T8s). But in my experience top class T12s are not easy to find, suitable electronic ballasts are also not the easiest to find, they may be more expensive since they are not such a mainstream item as the T8s now, and they will always suffer as a plant light from being larger than the T8s. So there just isn't a reason to buy them any more. We may be saying the same about T8s one day if T5 technology ever becomes widespread enough that the price drops to below T8 levels. |
- Posted by dirt_tracker 8-SouthCentralAlabam (My Page) on Wed, Oct 18, 06 at 9:42
Ok, I'm going with the T8's...seems they'll be the "standard" before long. :) In case anybody's interested here is the information from the box the shop lights came in: Brand: Lights of America Soon as I get the time I'm going to go ahead and OD one fixture and see how/if the ballast/tube works. If all goes well I'll add the ballast from the other fixture for the second tube. :) Ed |

Well, I hacked the LOA shoplights and the resulting OD'd shoplight appears to be working fine. I don't have a regular light to do a side-by-side comparison with, but the light definitely appears brighter. Before I set up the growing station I'll be hacking a couple of more lights so before I hack them I'll compare the OD'd one to a non-OD'd one. The T8 Phillips Deluxe Daylight tubes heat up a bit more than I expected but hopefully not so much to be a problem. Now on to the chore of making room somewhere to set up the light and germination trays (will probably be more difficult than modifying the shoplight(grin)). Ed |
I have a few lights with that ballast that says "8045E Series/8055 Series" ... One fixture I cut in half and made an overdriven 2' fixture ... and a couple others I cut down to make 3' fixtures without any rewiring ... mine have worked just fine. |

Just to clarify what I did on OD'ing the LOA shoplights... 1. Remove ballast ends from two shoplights and the non-ballasted receptacle end from the shoplight fixture that will house the OD'd lighting. 2. Took a ballast and cut a red and black wire from one side of the ballast and spliced these into the other red and black...red to red and black to black. This was repeated on the other ballast. (at this point I'm working with two "ballasted" end caps...the regular, non-ballasted end caps are not used.) 3. Took long wires from a ballast going to the other end of the light, splicing the yellow and red wires together. This spliced wire connected to one pin of the opposing receptacle. The single black wire connected to the other pin. This created one overdriven lamp. Repeating this procedure gives you a twin-tube, OD'd fixture with a ballasted end cap at each end. 4. I did not splice the power cords, but simply have both power cords still attached to the end caps. FWIW, |

I overdrove one of these 8045/8055 models last night and it worked great. In case anyone is confused by the models at Walmart let me explain. $8 > 8045 E - White finish without pull chain switch They all have the same ballast. An 8055 ballast is just a black 8045 ballast with a switch wired to it. You can wire a switch to the 8045 as well, the same holes exist to solder into. Here's the really weird thing, when I overdrove the lights I got 100% more power. T8 (32w) bulb - 37 watts into ballast normally (1 bulb), 59 watts overdriven, 100% brighter T12 (34w) bulb - 34 watts into ballast normally (1 bulb), 54 watts overdriven, 100% brighter The brightness measurements were taken against an 18% grey card that was in a fixed position with 3 different digital cameras. Two of the cameras flickered back to 2/3rds of a stop brighter so the actual brightness difference may only be 85% or so, as the resolution of the cameras is only 1/6th of a stop. Jason |
On one of my lights I rewired the one ballast to overdrive one lamp, but then instead of driving a 4' lamp I drove two 2' lamps in series (cutting the fixture in half and making a 2' overdriven shop light). I used the more expensive "stainless steel finish" lights with the pull chain switch. I wasn't sure what light to get, and I was going to get the cheaper white ones, but the box seemed to weigh twice as much. If somebody is going to cut a reflector down and make a light shorter than 4', the "stainless steel finish" light might be thinner metal and easier to cut. |

Well I guess I need a correction. I was working with the guy at Walmart to try to figure out what the difference between the $8 8045E lamp and the $10 8055 lamp were and on the unit we opened there was no switch like the photo of dirt tracker's above. However, I bought 3 of them the other day and they all had switches. One other thing to note. I found a Walmart locally that sells the 8045E for $10 instead of $8. I asked them why it was more and they said they get that question a lot, and that each Walmart can charge what they want. I don't know, it seems like they may be phasing out the no switch option and are charging more. Not sure. Jason |

Jason: It wouldn't suprise me at all that Wallyworld would stick a 10-cent switch on the same lamp and charge $2 more...the American way.(groan) Interesting, though, that the two pcb's are a different color. Mikeybob: Would the end results have been the same if you had just cut the fixture down to size for the 2' tubes and left the ballast/end-caps wired as they were? Ed |
It seems to me like one of the lights at Lowes said on the box that it was for T12 lamps and another said that it was for T12 & T8 ... I believe that someone said they cut a light in half and made a 2' fixture without rewiring, and someone else said that it would be brighter if it was rewired. |

Many (most?) electronic ballasts will correctly operate fluorescent tubes in many different lengths, therefore it wouldn't be surprising for a 32W ballast to operate a 18W tube at normal brightness. It sounds pretty "smart" but most T8 tubes run on exactly the same current (265mA) and the ballast must regulate this current over a wide range of voltages even for a single 4' tube. Not a big step to build it to regulate exactly the same current over a slightly wider range of voltages and operate many different tube lengths. There is a slight wrinkle when it comes to running T8 or T12 tubes. T12 (normal output) tubes throughout the world run on 430mA, while most T8 tubes in North America run on 265mA. Therefore many ballasts will not correctly operate the two types of tube, or they may normally operate a T12 and overdrive a T8. In Europe, T8 tubes also run on 430mA and these tubes can also sometimes be found in the US. Any T8 marked as 36W will be a 430mA tube, whereas the standard 32W T8 runs at 265mA. Confused yet? Just for completeness, there are T8 HO tubes, rarely seen that run at 380mA typically in a 44W power. T12 HO tubes run at 800mA and 60W in a 4' length. T12 VHO tubes run at 1500mA and 116W at 4' long but usually supplied as longer tubes. T5 tubes run at 460mA and are often called High Output (HO) but that is somewhat meaningless since there is only one kind. |
SnB, Thanks for the good info. MM |

text: When my family made their home in Enid, Oklahoma, Beaver Lake in Rogers, Arkansas was one of our favorite vacation lakes. A very long 7-hour drive ... with three kids, a bird dog, camping gear and our bass boat in tow ... explains how much we enjoyed our vacations here. It was certainly a different location then. Rogers was only about 6,000 people and the towns that make up NW Arkansas were separated by expanses undeveloped land. Wal-Mart was just a Five & Dime store ... not the Giant Super centers of today. The highway coming into Horseshoe Bend was lined on both sides by very tall Pine and Oak trees that nearly touched each other in the center. The highway was very narrow with no shoulder and in the fall you drive threw a snowstorm of leaves.

AddOn Spotlight: Bongos
Bongos positions itself as a simple and quick action bar replacement, and in this mission it succeeds with flying colors. Upon installation, the entire default action bar area is replaced with a small stack of 10 action bars, a pet bar, a class bar, your bags, the main menu, and a few other bongo elements, depending on your choice of installed pieces.
Looking for the latest version of Bongos? Check out our Patch 3.0.2 addon list for all your latest update!
Typing /bongos brings up the configuration screen. From there, it's a simple matter of turning on and off what you want to have on your screen, setting the size and transparency, and moving the bars to where you want them.
By default, bar 1 will change with your stance (rogues and warriors, I'm looking at you), and the easiest way to load up your skills is just to shift stances, and then drag and drop the skills you want to use in that stance into the action bar. This allows for a very clean interface with a minimal number of buttons, if you're into that sort
of thing.
You can also choose to hide the menu and your bags, really allowing for some leverage in cleaning up your UI. Take a look at this screenshot, the bongos bars are in the bottom right corner, freeing up a lot of space for other mods and UI elements.
I've noticed something quirky in my usage of Bongos, and this may or may not apply to you depending on your play style. I'm a big fan of putting my main actions as 1 to 6, shift-1 to shift-6, and ctrl-1 to ctrl-6. This way I can have 18 different actions or macros attached to keys within easy reach. To do this, I set my Key Bindings for the secondary action bars (Blizzard's left and right bars above the main action bar). I expected Bongos to set 1-6 on bar 1, shifted numbers on bar 2, and controlled numbers on bar 3. It doesn't. Bar 1 is alright, but shifted numbers went to bongo bar 6, while controlled numbers are on bongo bar 5. A little weird, but I just turned off visibility for bongo bars 2-4, and moved bars 5 and 6 around, so that my bottom bar is 1, middle is 6, top is 5. Again, your mileage may vary, and you can actually set key bindings for each of the bongo bars separately through the Key Bindings interface.
You can avoid this little headache by using Bongos' "Bindings" option from the Bongos config menu. All you have to do then is mouseover any button and press the key you want to assign to that button. This is a fantastic new feature that only lets me add accolades to this great AddOn. (Big thanks to Elizabeth Harper for pointing this out to me!)
So, while there are some quirks, I've found Bongos to be incredibly easy to use compared to something like Discord Action Bars, though not as infinitely customizable. If you're looking for a clean, low-memory replacement for the default action bars, you can do no better than Bongos.
Post your experiences with and questions about Bongos below and I'll do what I can to help you along.

I was not living in Seattle so I had to go to a hotel in downtown myself in order to be picked up! I was waiting for 40 minuets outside, calling the company three times! I was told every time the driver was only minutes away.

At the beginning of October my family and I were invited by Claudia Müller, head of the regional group Mecklenburg/Western Pomerania of the GDT – the German association of nature photographers. We spend a wonderful weekend with the members of this group, swimming in the lakes, paddling, hiking and, of course, doing some photography. The weather was perfect, warm and sunny. Not too good for photography, but perfect for having fun outdoors. One evening we strolled through the woods, looking for mushrooms. I found this little one, growing in the deep green moss. I never thought that taking pictures of mushrooms could bring such a great joy, but, believe me, it really did.
