Panasonic TX-L32E6B £549.99
7th Aug 2013 | 14:24
Slim, fast and fat with features second-room connected TV
It may be the watchword for all television buyers, but smart TV doesn't always find its way down to the 32-inch size. Panasonic's E6 Series is largely a big screen collection combining smart TV and Freeview HD, so to find the same suite of features on the Panasonic TX-L32E6B is a great start.
The key reasons to buy this are three-fold; Viera smart TV, all-round picture prowess, and a lush design.
Let's start with the latter, which certainly makes the Panasonic TX-L32E6B stand out against the competition. The design is called Super Narrow Bezel, and it's just that - a barely-there 6mm (0.2-inch) bezel surrounds the panel on three sides, with the bottom extending to about 11mm (0.4 inches).
Underneath that there's a transparent plastic lip that curves in at the edges, which holds a floating white Panasonic logo at its centre. It's a great look, and the Panasonic TX-L32E6B seems ripe for mounting on a bedroom wall, too, with standard VESA holes on its rear.
Our only concern is that the Panasonic TX-L32E6B's build quality isn't what it could be. It may look like it's built from metal at first glance, but it's actually plastic.
Picture quality isn't exactly reference level, but the Panasonic TX-L32E6B does have all-round skills, with innate smoothness thanks to the native 100Hz LED-backlit LCD panel. We also love its provision of Cinema and True Cinema picture presets that instantly create a cinematic look that's primed for watching movies on a whim, and without the fuss of changing the picture parameters.
With 32-inch TVs now costing very little, what's with the Panasonic TX-L32E6B's premium price of £549.99 (around US$845 / AU$945)? Smart TV, that's what. And though some TV buyers aren't interested - particularly those with a Sky Now TV Box or Virgin Media TiVo set-top box - Panasonic has done a pretty good job of developing its apps.
The core apps everyone is after, such as BBC iPlayer, Netflix and YouTube, are all here, plus a host of others.
There are other tempting morsels, too, such as a second screen app that enables you to indulge in some novel two-way exchanges of photos, music and videos between a tablet / smartphone / laptop and the Panasonic TX-L32E6B. That feature - called Swipe & Share 2.0 - also has a web browser embedded within an app that can push websites on to the Panasonic TX-L32E6B's screen.
Best smart TV platforms
Also inside the Panasonic TX-L32E6B is a Freeview HD tuner, two 10W speakers and a trio of HDMI inputs.
The Panasonic TX-L32E6B is the Japanese manufacturer's smallest smart Viera TV by a long way, though it does sell a trio of non app-packed TVs, including the Full HD panel-toting Panasonic TX-L32EM6B (£299), HD-ready Panasonic TX-L32XM6B (£399.99) and HD-ready Panasonic TX-L32B6B (£399.99).
Those wanting to remain in the key E6 Series can go bigger, with Panasonic also selling the 39-inch Panasonic TX-L39E6B (£749.99), the high-ranking 42-inch Panasonic TX-L42E6B (£899.99) and 50-inch Panasonic TX-L50E6B (£1,122.99). There are also white coloured variants in the range.
We genuinely like what Panasonic has done to its smart TV platform in 2013. It all centres on My Home Screen, which is pretty fluid. Various screens - TV Home Screen, Lifestyle Screen and Info Screen - can be tweaked in terms of design and app content, with shortcuts, links and live TV windows all up for grabs.
Designing them isn't difficult, though we do wonder if anyone will actually create 'Dad's screen' and 'Daughter's Screen'. Is that kind of micro-customisation really needed? Probably not, but it's a very flexible system nonetheless.
All screens have a a live TV thumbnail, which is crucial, as well as detailed and nuanced graphics.
Best 32-inch TVs
Apps and widgets can be added to any screen you like, but there is a dedicated page. Along the top are links to the Panasonic TX-L32E6B's widgets - Media Player, Media Server, Viera Link, Web Browser, Main Menu, TV Guide and Live TV - while a two-page grid of apps sits below that far better than the Viera Connect of old.
The app page is certainly influenced by Samsung's Smart Hub. We've got few complaints about the kind of apps on here, though most are info-based rather than video hubs.
The second page is pretty poor, giving icons for widgets such as World Clock, Dates, Calendar and Notes, though if you try to launch any of them you receive a curt reply that says: 'The APP is intended for Home screen usage and must be launched from it'. So customisation is obligatory? That's not very smart at all.
The Freeview HD EPG is still one of Panasonic's problem areas - it's just so drab and spreadsheet-like - but at least it now has a live TV thumbnail, albeit a postage stamp-sized screen hidden away in the corner.
However, it's likely you'll never use it, because My Home Screen contains a scrollable roster of TV channels on the right-hand side that is perfect for seeing what else is on.
If you do need more information on schedules, there is an excellent Rovi TV Listings app available, which could easily be pinned to your Home page.
Incidentally, other apps on the Panasonic TX-L32E6B include BBC News, BBC iPlayer, Eurosport Player (subscriptions needed), YouTube, BBC Sport, iConcerts, Skype, Netflix, Euronews, Dailymotion, EuroSport, CNBC Real-Time, PlayJam Games, SHOUTcast Radio, Aupeo, Chess Challenge, Rovi TV Listings, Social Networking, Facebook and Twitter.
That's not a bad haul, but it's not as good as Samsung's provision of ITV Player, 4OD and Demand 5 - and where's Lovefilm?
On the rear of the set are three HDMI inputs alongside an optical digital audio output, a wired Ethernet LAN port, a set of component video inputs and associated phonos, Scart, and an RF aerial plug to fuel the Freeview HD tuner.
Down the side is a Common Interface slot and two USB slots, one of which can be used to hook up an HDD drive, though recordings from Freeview can't be made. Also on the side - which is nicely recessed to avoid cables poking out - is a headphones jack.
Picture tech choices are limited, but oh so flexible. There is an Adaptive Backlight Control that responds to ambient light to lower the panel's brightness, as well as some excellent preset picture settings, the most important of which are Cinema and True Cinema.
There's also a Custom setting that can be assigned to individual inputs for those willing to delve into the Advanced Settings menu. Inside this is a comprehensive colour management system, a 10-point gamma control and both two-point and 10-point white balance controls.
Picture, sound and value
Picture quality
The Panasonic TX-L32E6B puts on quite some performance, with its pictures' colour, detail and upscaling all impressing us.
All LED-backlit TVs arrive to us in scorch-yer-eyes-out mode, but at least the Panasonic TX-L32E6B makes light work of calibration by providing two excellent picture presets; Cinema and True Cinema, adding a custom mode, too.
It's True Cinema that impressed us during our test Blu-ray disc Life of Pi, largely with its convincing black levels, scintillating colour (truly spot-on natural-looking tones), awesome Full HD detail and a smoothness to fast-moving scenes.
There is the odd blur to some sequences, and the sinking of the ship in the dingy Pacific night does reveal a slight bluish tone if you watch it in a blackout (as well as some evidence of slight LED leakage at the edges), but we're being picky by pointing these out; the Panasonic TX-L32E6B is an excellent performer with HD movies.
The TV's probably best watched with some ambient light on nearby, which constitutes normal viewing conditions in most living rooms.
Those same strengths apply to Freeview HD channels, too, with Blood Diamond on ITV 1 HD displaying tremendous close-up detail and more of that ballistic colour, both of which really open up sequences in the forests, with plenty of brightness on show.
Best smart TV platforms
The Panasonic TX-L32E6B proves a decent upscaler of standard definition-sourced content, too. We did notice some jagged edges around some of the characters in Neighbours, but it was limited, just like our occasional spotting of digital blocking.
Otherwise, the Panasonic TX-L32E6B upscales standard definition fare well, with everything from YouTube videos to DVDs receiving a noise-free treatment that's very involving.
Considering that the Panasonic TX-L32E6B can have music streamed to it from smartphones, tablets and computers, it doesn't do a great job with them. Tunes are detailed, though biased towards the high frequency side, and bass levels can be nudged, but there's little mid-range to plug the gap.
It's actually all fine for daily digital TV duties and the odd movie, though dialogue in the latter can get lost. There are two cures to this issue.
The first is to use the Surround mode, which drags out some background detail and slightly lifts dialogue.
The second is to cut your losses and invest in a dedicated soundbar or similar, to make sure you get the best sound possible.
The Panasonic TX-L32E6B is judged about right, price-wise. With a full price of £549.99 (around US$845 / AU$945) it is expensive for such a small TV - especially these days - though there are few other smarter choices in the 32-inch category.
If you're after a top-end smart TV for your bedroom, then the Panasonic TX-L32E6B has only a few Samsung and LG sets to compete with.
Neither rival brand has as good an app as Viera Remote 2 - especially its Swipe & Share 2.0 features - and it's also hard to beat the Panasonic TX-L32E6B's slender bezel and reliable, versatile picture quality.
Put simply, the Panasonic TX-L32E6B gives you a lot for your money.
The Panasonic TX-L32E6B is one of the easiest TVs to set up and operate, though there are plenty of options for those who want to customise the whole experience.
Unlike most apps for TVs, Panasonic's free Viera Remote 2 app - available for Android or iOS smartphones and tablets - also includes two-way file swaps. Yes, it has a virtual remote screen, gesture control, an app launcher and even a gamepad option for app-based games on Viera Connect, but what most impresses is Swipe & Share 2.0.
Uniquely this is a two-way relationship, so that once the app has found the Panasonic TX-L32E6B sitting on the same home network (wired or Wi-Fi), photos, music and video on your phone or tablet can be selected and played on the TV.
File types are limited to MP3, JPEG and MOV videos, but it works well enough with music and home-produced fare, too. Slideshows and music are the most polished, though video is stable, albeit after about a 10-second wait.
Swipe & Share 2.0 works in reverse, too, enabling you to watch anything on your smartphone or tablet from devices physically attached to the Panasonic TX-L32E6B.
For this review we attached a USB flash drive packed full of digital media to one of the Panasonic TX-L32E6B's two USB slots, and managed to fetch MPEG and MP4-based videos, music and photos.
Of course, this feature would be more handy if the Panasonic TX-L32E6B indulged in making recordings from its Freeview HD tuner to an external HDD. It doesn't do this, but its big sisters do (and in MPEG format). It's impressive nonetheless.
Another dimension to Swipe & Share 2.0 is its use as a web browser that can push web pages to the TV (and thereby circumvent the messy cursor-led controls and awkward text entry of the hard-button remote). It's great for occasionally sharing a website with everything else in the room.
What Viera Remote 2 doesn't have - at least, not when it's used on the Panasonic TX-L32E6B - is second screen skills. There's only one Freeview HD tuner in this TV, so there's no chance that you'll be able to watch other TV channels fed to a phone.
Nor is it possible to engage 'clone' TV channel viewing. Despite that, Viera Remote 2 is probably the most advanced app we've yet seen, especially for a small TV.
Elsewhere, the Panasonic TX-L32E6B handles digital media reasonably well. In our tests from both a docked USB flash drive and from a networked PC we managed to play WAV, MP3, M4A, FLAC and WMA music files.
And while the music plays it's possible to use the Viera Remote 2 app to switch off the TV screen.
The television also managed to play AVI, MKV HD, AVC HD, MPEG-4 and WMV video files.
However, all of these features are only made usable by some fast processing. Menu screens swipe and transit, fold and disappear in milliseconds, while the hard-button remote - complete with large buttons - makes the Panasonic TX-L32E6B one of the easiest TVs to use.
Great pictures, great design and awesome usability - what's not to like about the Panasonic TX-L32E6B, one of the smartest-looking and smartest-acting 32-inch TVs around?
We liked
Best 32-inch TVs
Best 37-inch TVs
Best 40 and 42-inch TVs
Best 46 and 47-inch TVs
Best 50-inch TVs
Best 60-inch TVs
There are few TVs that look this good, work this quickly, or that have such a likeable smart TV interface. My Home Screen offers a level of customisation that other brands - even Samsung - don't offer, while the choice of apps covers all the major services.
Viera Remote 2 and its Swipe & Share 2.0 features truly impress, though it's the all-round picture prowess on the Panasonic TX-L32E6B that will prove to be the most useful.
We disliked
Sound is not a highlight on the Panasonic TX-L32E6B, coming out weak. We missed Lovefilm on its app roster too; the Smart Viera user interface might be as slick as any we've yet met, but it does need more UK-centric catch-up TV apps. BBC iPlayer alone is no longer enough.
Final verdict
A fast-working, dependable and great-looking Edge LED TV with a smart TV user interface as impressive as any we've seen, the Panasonic TX-L32E6B is one of the smartest choices for a bedroom or second room that's currently around.
Picture quality isn't quite as impressive as on bigger iterations, such as the Panasonic TX-L42E6B, but it's mighty fine nonetheless, handling all sources with enough care.
The icing on the cake is the free Viera Remote 2 app for smartphones and tablets, and in particular its Swipe & Share 2.0 feature that trade files back-and-forth between mobile devices and the TV. Now that's pretty advanced for a bedroom TV.
Also consider
If you don't mind the step down from Full HD to an HD-ready resolution, the Samsung UE32F4500 (£310) might be worth a look. Inside is a Freeview HD tuner and Samsung's catch-up TV app-laden Smart Hub. A higher-end version of that is the Samsung UE32F6400 (£470).
Other models to look out for that compare to this Panasonic include the LG 32LN575V (£389) with Full HD and LG Smart World, the Sony KDL-32W654A (£469) with Full HD and Sony internet TV and the Sony KDL-32R423A (£349), which is HD-ready.
Sony is also still selling its KDL-32HX753 (£450) from its 2012 crop of Bravia TVs, which is one of the few 3D TVs available at this size.

Component obsolescence will cost industry
Along with other industries, the aviation industry will face mounting costs if it fails
to deal with the problem of obsolescent components. According to newly published research, the cost of providing replacement components for long-lifespan equipment could be more than $500,000 per item if a major component redesign is required.
Research conducted by Arinc and QinetiQ on behalf of the UK Ministry of Defence found that major component redesigns could cost as much as $550,000 and that finding a substitute component could incur a bill of around $25,000 per item. These figures relate only to non-recurring engineering costs and do not include factors such as aircraft downtime, new training procedures and manuals and parts storage costs.
According to the Component Obsolescence Group (COG), the issue is of increasing importance to the aviation industry, and a growing number of aerospace firms are joining the UK-based organization to formulate a joint approach to ensure a cost-effective supply of components over the full operational life of aircraft.
COG chief executive Michael Trenchard said that with components such as semi-conductors becoming out-of-date in as few as five years, companies are confronting the problem of obsolescence much sooner. "By identifying an obsolescence problem early, the more expensive solutions (such as designing replacement components) can be avoided," he said.
More information about COG's initiatives on component obsolescence can be found at www.cog.org.uk.

News Update
You Are Not Forgotten
The autumn colors have peaked here in the kingdom…Halloween is just around the corner and before you know it, the holidays will be on us. But, before they arrive, Mother Nature's winter wonderland will descend upon us like a white blanket.
The winter conference is not far off, January 16th and 17th and before you know it, Post elections will be here and, in some cases, new blood take over the reins.
Unfortunately, that is not always the case. With Post membership rapidly declining due to attrition and a lack of new, young veteran's taking advantage of the multitude of benefits available to them and their families by joining our ranks, many Post's find themselves simply re-seating those existing officers who still care enough to continue supporting the efforts and goals of the legions.
Orleans Vermont Post #23 urges other post's throughout the state, indeed, all the states, to increase their recruiting efforts in an attempt to draw these young warriors into our fold.
If you know of a veteran, young or old, who is eligible for membership, encourage them to stop by your post for a personal observation of its activities.

Lalo Telling has passed away in real life
I have just heard today that the much loved SL Lalo Telling has sadly passed away in real life and he was a good friend of mine in Second Life. He was recently admitted to a hospice battling with cancer and many hoped he would recover alright. I really enjoyed reading his blog posts over the years and I liked visiting historical SL locations via his SL History page. This is really shocking and sad news to hear about his passing in RL. Another loss for Second Life and Lalo Telling will always be in our memories forever. :(
The news came from Ahuva latest blog post called In Memoriam which confirms of his death. :(
The gentleman known here as Lalo Telling departed this existence today at 2pm. He died as he lived – gracefully and peacefully. Emspar thanks you all for all the love and good wishes sent from the virtual world to her and Lalo. She asks that you observe her period of mourning by holding off on direct messages or tweeting to her. She is grateful for your kindness and support and caring but needs a time for grief and reflection.
Lalo – Your memory will be for a blessing. <3
RIP Lalo Telling :(

wow, i met Lalo a few times inSL – a person who helped shape what Second Life and virtual worlds mean
his grace shall be missed deeply by myself and many others
OMG! I had no idea. He never mentioned any of this to me and we had chatted briefly not too long ago. Lalo was a very good friend of mine in SL and via Twitter. He was also my one of my direct subjects in Tiny Empires. Sigh. He was so intelligent and nice.
I never knew Lalo, but it is always sad to see someone leave Second Life who really loved it. I wish Lalo's family all the best.
Oh my I just found out tonight. Lalo and I were very good friends would sit and chat about photography and the Queendom. He was my Prince in Tiny Empires and so kind and wise. I'm very sad to hear this. Peace to the family.

Did that title catch your attention? Good.
This recipe was inspired by David Lebovitz — whom I've already written about crushing on. I love his easy and delicious recipe for roast chicken with caramelized shallots, and this is my take on it. It's super simple and scrumptious — MAKE IT…
People are great at making excuses for not getting outside, being active and living badass. Good news! I'm here to smash your pathetic excuses on the rock of tolerance.
"I'm fat"
This is by far the most common excuse for replacing fun with ice cream and shame. Here's why it's lame:
Our nutrition plan is simple: eat real food in reasonable quantities. A serving of meat should be approximately the size and thickness of the palm of your hand. It's almost impossible to eat too many vegetables and fruit is a great snack.
When at the grocery store:
Eat as many vegetables and fruits as you like. I get most of my vegetables from my daily Blender Bender, eat a salad at lunch and snack on fruit. Every meal I eat has meat of some kind.
Don't be preoccupied with the number of meals you eat per day. Eat when you're hungry. Sometimes I eat 4 eggs at 0630 and other times I don't eat until after my morning WOD at 1100.
What about wheat?
I avoid wheat; however, if the worst thing in your diet is bread you're doing alright in my book. Just don't make it the centerpiece of your nutrition.
Carbs are cool.
Natural Carbs aren't the enemy. Processed carbs are. If you like fruit, go nuts. I eat several apples, oranges, berries and whatever else I can get my hands on daily. If your goal is to lose body fat you may want to go easy on fruit, otherwise it's open season.
Processed carbs should be avoided. So should processed fruit juices. Your body isn't built to handle the massive load of carbohydrates they provide. Here's a rule of thumb: if it's pressed into a shape and put in a box it probably isn't a good choice.
Everything in moderation (except fruit and vegetables).
I don't drink milk, but I do put cream in my coffee and cheese on my eggs. Some Paleo/Primal folks consume zero dairy. Same with wheat. I eat hamburgers and drink beer. Just not everyday. The idea is a diet to support a healthy lifestyle. It's not to obsess over every single choice you make.
What about Diet Soda?
Again, moderation. I occasionally drink a massive Diet Dr. Pepper. Just not everyday. If you drink several sodas a day you need to make a better decision and drink some water. …or another Bender Blender.

Being strong makes everything in life better. It's true. Ask a strong person if you don't believe me. Struggling to carry a 24 pack of water is lame. Picking up both your kids for a hug is friggin' awesome. We spend a lot of time making our athletes stronger, more flexible and more capable in their everyday lives.

Mad men (and women), how do they fare today?
If you haven't seen the poster design for the final season of Mad Men by Milton Glaser yet, I'm sure you will consider it a treat. The poster not only references Glaser's signature Bob Dylan poster, but also loops back to Glaser's career with Push Pin Studios, one of the biggest New York design firms to serve the advertising world during the real Mad Men era. Glaser was a founding member of Push Pin Studios along with Seymour Chwast, Edward Sorel, and Reynold Ruffins. Together, they helped shape, define, and set the direction of modern visual style.

Bunch of hateful, ignorant , envious , poor people. So desperate
beyonce is very overrated and on top of that.... having all the security just brings more attention to her versus just acting like, living like and trying to have some semblance of a normal life for even just one day.
for the record in my opinion... in this picture... if you remove the bodyguards and take a look at beyonce alone.... she looks like any other normal thick african american heritage female who is on south beach every weekend. and actually she looks more exotic like of some hispanic decent with the way her hair is and what she is wearing... both of which being nothing special or flashy or unavailable to regular poor and middle class citizens. she could have totally gotten away with out all the security making a scene. i think she looks better in this state of array because she looks so fake when she's all done up. she looks real. natural. normal in this picture (once you photoshop out the body guards)
anyways... i live here in south florida and obviously she just wants to make sure she is still in the press because there are so many more beaches to visit that aren't popular tourist & celebrity traps and are much better choices to relax at. As well... a majority of those beaches are not as fake, superficial materialistic and pretentious as south beach is. south beach is disgusting. it's dirty. and it's over crowded. these are also the reasons why i avoid south beach as if it's the plauge! because an all actually... you might just catch some nasty disease just from being there or worse yet wind up killed by some lame brained sushi chef or robbed by some pathetic wannabe gangster!
ny advice... find a different beach for relaxing beyonce... especially when your lil sister is the supreme grand champion of morons for the way she blasts the papps!
She's got some tree trunk legs that's for sure. Her calves are about the same thickness as her thighs. COVER THAT CRAP UP PLEASE!
Who really cares about her ? Does SHE really think she's that important to have all that security?
omg you losers are unbearable. Beyonce is the quuen period...if you notice the only haters are all white people i can tell by what ur saying....being is loved in the black community like that loser, talentless Madonna is loved by the caucasian community...And why wouldnt she wear her freaking wedding ring everywhere jackass, shes a newlywed! STOP HATING AND GET A LIFE
She really needs to tell herself she's all that huh? I could walk by her and not give it (her) a thought. But it's important in her circle to one up each other. I don't know the number of "agents" on Piddy's detail, but i'm sure it's excalty one less than beyonce's and/or jayz's.
wow, true haters! you all need to fall back and stop hatin!
I cannot believe all of the negative comments about B all of a sudden. I ain't takin up for her but I gotta keep it real. Where is she fat? She prob weighs less than 75% of the women who posted a comment. And how is it stupid or selfish to wear A WEDDING RING GIVEN TO HER BY HER HUSBAND?!!! Is it her fault that her man is rich? Don't b mad cuz yall rings don't put the sun to shame like hers.
Everyone saying, "Oh who cares about her?" and "She's so overrated!" Obviously you are some of the people, who care enough to take the time out of your day to read the article and post a response. Jeez, you guys are so childish. Who cares if the girl is surrounded by bodyguards? With haters like the ones posting all these negative comments, she probably does need a lot of security!
Why are you people so concern for her. If you hate her so much why do you take the time to search her on the internet and then take the time to write something about her. Wow!!!!!! It her life and he she wanted to have 1 million people protecting her thats her rite. You people don't know how many death threats celebs get on a daily basics and they have no other choice than to take it serious. So please lay off Beyonce!!!!!!!!!!!
i think all of yall need ta hop off.
everybody wanna hate on b.
what yall feel some type of way cuz she got talent?
like somebody done already said u dnt kno wat her day 2 day is.
so if she need a lil extra security then let her be.
with al da crazy ppl thats out there now i would tightin my security 2.
im juss sayin.

Hookah video wth hookahstuffs and christophersmokes! Showing you all how to do some smoke tricks to impress well anyone! Check it out when its posted!
Keep the hookahs smoking!
Hey fellow hookah gurus. Christopersmokes here, with a new product review. The Fantatasia airflow coals. I've had these coals before about a year back. But I needed to get them again for this review. First off you get 45 in a box. The box is sturdy and the packing is similar to most natural coals. Oh didn't I mention these are naturals?! No odor, no chemicals, no bad fumes. The design for these coals is what sets them apart though. They are in the classic cube shape. But with a triangle grove set in the bottom. ( ill post a pic of a coal later) the purpose of this grove is to allow air to flow both over and under the coal, giving it consistent heat. Now saddly during the lighting process if the get lit to hot to quick it can cause them to become fragile and break in half. So be careful. Now I use two on my alien phunnel bowl with tangiers and it smoke great. They last about as long as giai coals or coco nara. The price for these coals is also something I like. 7.99 on hookah-shisha.com. that's for 45 coals! Not bad. I would give these coals a try.
Happy smoking hookah lovers!
Your friend,
Hey guys! Long time, no posts, huh? Well I apologize. I just haven't smoked anything fantastic recently. Kind of a hookah funk. Oh well.
I'd like to do a quick product review, if I may.
Those coals? The ones I have pictured? Yeah. Those are rubbish. Don't even look at them.
Thanks guys! Smoke yourselves silly!

Keep the hookahs smoking!
Starbuzz Vanilla. Good or bad?
Well, truth be told, this is an awful flavor.
I wanted to like this, and I wanted to be able to use it in mixes. But it's not even a decent flavor…
Don't get me wrong, it's very flavorful (whatever that flavor may be, I'm not sure, but it is most CERTAINLY not vanilla). And it leaves an awkward taste in your mouth.
The smoke is fairly average, as you'd expect. Not much to say about it.
BUT! It left my apartment smelling like fresh baked cookies! (I'm trying really hard to find the silver lining in this flavor)
I might try mixing it with cherry tomorrow with christophersmokes while we're filming our smoke trick video, and see how that works out for us. If it's great, you'll find it on here. And if not, you won't!
However, if you decide to buy yourself a tin, and you find something that it goes well with, LET US KNOW! We'd love to hear some mixes from you guys, too. And product suggestions. I'm always eager to try the new cool fads.
Now, call up some friends, and get a session going.
Hey guys! I am a friend of Bryce aka hookahstuffs and he invited me to write on here. Hope you guys Luke this blog he created because it was a great idea to bring hookah smokers together. Follow my personal blog to check out some other hookah posts and pictures. Keep smoking gurus and enjoy the flavors
Hey guys! Christopersmokes here! I got some interesting info for you hookah gurus. We all smoke and enjoy out hookahs ans we know its not just about the smoke its the art of it all and the care your hookah. But also how you smoke. Hookah has passed through many generations and some rules of etiquette have become more layed back. Here are some rules I know and follow. 1.my house my rules else aside, whoever is hosting is making the rules. Whether you're at a lounge or a friend's house, if it's their hookah then kindly defer to them regarding expectations. Also, when smoking at someone's home, offering to reimburse them is considered rude. Sharing a hookah is a community activity, and the host would not offer it unless they wanted to.By the same token, a host should consult their guests in choosing a shisha flavor – if everyone is sharing, then everyone should enjoy it! 2.no touchy. While smoking hookah is often a group activity, the set up and coal management is not. Generally one person sets up the hookah, and one person is in charge of coal management throughout the session (this may or may not be the same person). The theory is akin to "too many cooks in the kitchen spoils the soup". Traditionally, whoever sets up the hookah will smoke first, then the person who is in charge of the coals. This doesn't necessarily mean that their turns are longer – that's really up to the host. 3. Puff puff pass The hookah hose seems pretty self explanatory – you just smoke out of it, right? Wrong! So wrong! The hose has its own set of expectations. - Hogging the hose is a huge faux pas. Three to four pulls from the hose is a standard duration per turn. - If it is still your turn, and you must set down the hose, lay it in your lap. - Always pass the hose clockwise and with your right hand. Sounds strange, but in many cultures passing with your left hand is considered unclean, because the left hand is supposedly the hand reserved for, you know…butt wiping. I tried to phrase that with class, but it just didn't happen. - Do not point the hose tip at someone. This goes for during conversation, or while passing. As Stephanie Tanner would say, "How rude!". When handing someone the hose, bend it in half with the tip facing you. - If using a multi-hose hookah, do not smoke from multiple hoses at the same time as this will negatively affect the pull. Plug your hose while the other person smokes and wait until it is your turn. - Don't ever pull the hookah by the hose. - When the session is over, wrap the hose around the hookah so that it does not touch the ground. 4.don't be gross Luckily, these days it's very easy to acquire your own, personal mouth tip. Just pop it in when it's your turn, and take it back out before you pass the hose. Boom! Slobber free!The next thing is less hygiene related, but is still bodily function-centric. It can be considered rude to cough during a hookah session. Be mindful of taking pulls that are too deep, keep the coal heat managed, and just take it easy if you're still learning your limits. No one wants to watch you hack up a lung while they're having a nice time.Side note to cigarette smokers – whether or not you're partaking in the hookah session with your pals, do NOT light your cigarette with the hookah coals, nor should you ash in the coal tray. Bad. Form. Hope you enjoyed the etiquette information my fellow hookah smokers. Keep smoking and stay classy America
Who would be interested in a smoke-trick-how-to? We're thinking of doing one, showing everything from smoke rings to French inhales and even blowing double rings and telling you exactly how to do them!
We're going to do one no matter what, but we just wanted to let you guys know. :D GET EXCITED! WE ARE!
Hey fellow hookah gurus! Chriatophersmokes here with a sweet, tasty review. I have the usual setup. Km with nammor hose, heba diffuser and vortex with windcover. And two coconut Gaia coals.
Now let me tell you of this great flavor combo I got goog on today. I pack the vortex with tangiers melon blend with al tawareg juicy peach. In the base I have three peach mango tea bags in ice cold water. In the beginning of the session I couldn't really taste the tea but the longer you let it steep the more flavor you get from the tea. The is a pretty interesting flavor mix. Very sweet and actually mouth watering. I'm a big fan of fruit and sweet flavors. The clouds are thick and billowy. And smoke rings are floating in the air. The taste of these two flavors goes together well. Neither flavor over powers the other. Ying and yang. And the buzz I'm getrig from this mix is intense. This is a must try.
I hope you guys give this a try if you like sweet, full flavored, fruity flavors. Keep smoking fellow hookah guru's.
Hello followers. I'd like to share with everyone the masterpiece that I smoke out of everyday.
I have a 33" tall Kahlil Mamoon Pharonie, ceramic vortex bowl, 72" fretted Nammor hose (washable!) with a velvet cover, a slim edition Soguk, the Heba diffuser, and an extra large wind cover since my bowl sits awfully high.
For those of you who don't know, KMs are completely handmade hookahs in Egypt. They are the Rolls Royce of hookah brands. No two bases are alike, and are hand blown. And they have a variety of stems that are all brazed and welded, you guessed it, by hand. I happen to have their famous Tri-metal stem, with loads of egyptian engravings throughout. It has a copper down tube (which takes a bit more maintenance than most as that green crap can build up inside).
Enough of that.
I tend to keep mine immaculately maintained. I take a thorough cleaning of my base and stem once a week. And quick cleans between each smoke since flavored liquids in the base tend to linger if you don't..
Just thought I'd share! Sorry for the reused photo and useless information! I would take a new one, but it's late and my roommate is sleeping.
"Minty Mountain Dojo"
Social Smoke Absolute Zero shisha, super chilled water with plenty of ice, and Ice Breakers mints in the base.
This is one that takes a bit of preparation. Start with putting the Ice Breakers in the base, then put in the ice. Finally, add the water and store your base in your fridge for an hour or so, stirring occasionally. Unless your base is prone to cracking. But this will give the water the blue color you see in the picture, and a very, very minty flavor. And if you happen to have a Soguk, make sure that's ready as well, and if you don't, put your hose in the freezer for 20 to 45 minutes before you smoke(WARNING: NOT FOR NAMMOR HOSES. THEY ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR COLD TEMPERATURES!). You can also try putting your stem in the fridge to get a tid bit more chill to this smoke.
Now, now. Back to business! The level of mint you'll be experiencing with this is astronomical. The colder you make the smoke, the more the flavor seems to explode in your mouth. Mint shishas always have the most intense flavor, and when mixed with other flavors, can yield some amazing flavor combos.
I wouldn't recommend the shisha that I used, as it's more of a spearmint, and seems to counteract the flavor of the Ice Breakers… And! The tobacco that Social Smoke uses don't really give you that 'buzz' that brands like Starbuzz, Romman, and Tangiers give you, which, in this particular mix would REALLY add to the experience of this smoke. But nonetheless, this was quite a smoke.
The smoke in this was really nice and thick with just a couple of Coco Naras (which, for you hookah n00bs, are all natural coals made of coconut shells that I'll put a review of on here soon) and a wind cover to keep the heat in. Like many of the other mixes that I've done, the exhale clouds are tasty and superb for tricks! And as an added bonus, make the room smell fucking great.
So, if you're quite partial to mint flavors, give this a try if you're up to the challenge! But make sure to check if your setup is fine with cold temperatures. 99% setups are designed to handle cold temperatures as its very popular to do so, but be careful. Don't complain to me if your setup breaks trying this.
Follow if you like this! I try to post a couple yummy mixes a week for all of you to try.
As always, smoke on friends!

The Dream.
It is bigger than me.
It has to be,
So that I may see
Where I am going
And where I have been
And what I must do
To dream again.
The Vision.
It is far and near;
Not fully defined,
But very clear.
Just out of reach;
Within my grasp.
I must look to the future,
Not stay in the past.
The Gift.
It is my reward for living,
For moving forward,
Taking and giving.
Keep my eyes on my goals.
Make it a habit.
The dream is mine.
I will have it!

The Heritage Classic Remington 700 stock from Revolution Stocks embodies all the graceful design elements found in classic rifle stocks costing far more, yet it subtly balances those elements for the variety of applications it will serve. The slender, somewhat open grip on this Remington stock is well defined, but does not extend too far below the toe line. The comb is parallel to the bore for smooth sighting and to aid scope use. The cheekpiece adds facial support and grace to your new replacement stock. The stock's flat/oval forend and inletting fits a wide range of rifles.
For more information on this Remington riflestock, please see the Remington 700 gunstock page.
Posted by James Duke on 18th Jun 2014
This is the third stock I have ordered and all I can say is they are awesome. excellent workmanship, flawless detail! I will recommend and order again.
Posted by Justin on 25th Jun 2013
This stock is not a drop in fit on my Remington 700 Long Action for several reasons. First, the trigger guard recess is about 1/8" too narrow. I will be spending time with a router trying to make it fit. Next, the trigger pocket recess will not accommodate a Timney Trigger, which means more inletting. Third, the barrel is not free floating in this stock, requiring further inletting. If I wanted a 90% complete stock I would have ordered one. I'm excited about the look and finish, but disappointed in the fit of this stock.
Posted by Unknown on 27th Dec 2012
Very nice product,makes the gun look like new.everthing fit perfectly which usually does not happen.
Posted by Ron Gelinas on 30th May 2012
Revolution produced a well finished, accurately inletted tasteful laminated color stock for the silhouette rifle that I'm building. The only issue is the thickness top to bottom is just slightly more than Remington's trigger guard screwsa can accomodate, necessitating me ordering extra long screws, available from Brownell's

Aon Hewitt honours Ajuba as best employer
Premier provider of revenue cycle outsourcing services to healthcare systems, Ajuba Solutions India Pvt. Ltd was recently recognized among the best employer brands in a recent study conducted by Aon Hewitt to honour the country's best employer brands of 2013.
Aon Hewitt, the global talent, retirement and health solutions business of Aon plc, announced its 2013 Best Employers Study results in New Delhi that brought laurels to the best brands that have contributed to organizational excellence.
Ajuba stands tall as the only healthcare BPO to be recognized with such an honour.
The first Aon Hewitt Best Employer Study was conducted in Asia in 2001.
After more than a decade of experience conducting Best Employer research, Aon Hewitt has fine-tuned its approach and methodology based on changing HR trends in Asia.
The 2013 study differentiates itself from previous runs and other offerings in the market by means of its professional, data-driven approach that collects data from three distinct sources: employees, HR and the CEO.
In addition, an external, independent judging panel composed of reputable business, academic and media leaders were appointed to blindly deliberate and decide on each year's list of Best Employers.
The study was built on a clearly articulated framework of four key themes, identified as critical in today's HR agenda, such as high employee engagement, effective leadership, a compelling employer brand and high performance culture.
Ajuba's leadership and skill based training program that is designed and customized based on industry requirements is highly acclaimed in the healthcare outsourcing fraternity, Aon Hewitt said.
Ajuba is part of the Miramed Global Services group which is headquartered in Jackson Michigan, USA.
"We believe that this recognition is one of the many milestones achieved by us towards carving our success story. It is a great motivation for Ajuba and encourages us to strive towards moulding quality talent in the industry", said Tony Mira, Founder and President Miramed Global.
Accepting the honour, Hema Parikh, Director HR, Ajuba Solutions India said, "HR initiatives at Ajuba have been designed in such a way that our approach goes beyond traditional recruitment and people engagement practices. We believe in nurturing the leadership and growth potential of our employees through our leadership and skill-based training programs."
Ajuba shares dais in winning this coveted recognition amongst 17 winners of the Aon Hewitt Best Employers India 2013 which include prominent private and public sector companies such as Oil India, ONGC, HUL, DHL, Bajaj Auto Finance, Godrej Consumer Products, RBS, SAP Labs, TAFE and Aegis Limited.

I like Icekream on my sundays
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles roll
ed into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full.. The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.'
The professor then produced two Beers from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand.The students laughed..
'Now,' said the professor as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things—-your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions—-and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car.. The sand is everything else—-the small stuff.
'If you put the sand into the jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life.
If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Spend time with your children. Spend time with your parents. Visit with grandparents. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and mow the lawn.
Take care of the golf balls first—-the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the Beer represented. The professor smiled and said, 'I'm glad you asked.' The Beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of Beers with a friend.
Empathy is the key to social change.
A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination.

It always seems impossible until it's done.

Words reduce reality to something the human mind can grasp, which isn't very much

Birthmarks, be damned: the FBI has officially started rolling out a state-of-the-art face recognition project that will assist in their effort to accumulate and archive information about each and every American at a cost of a billion dollars.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has reached a milestone in the development of their Next Generation Identification (NGI) program and is now implementing the intelligence database in unidentified locales across the country, New Scientist reports in an article this week. The FBI first outlined the project back in 2005, explaining to the Justice Department in an August 2006 document (.pdf) that their new system will eventually serve as an upgrade to the current Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS) that keeps track of citizens with criminal records across America .
"The NGI Program is a compilation of initiatives that will either improve or expand existing biometric identification services," its administrator explained to the Department of Justice at the time, adding that the project, "will accommodate increased information processing and sharing demands in support of anti-terrorism."
"The NGI Program Office mission is to reduce terrorist and criminal activities by improving and expanding biometric identification and criminal history information services through research, evaluation and implementation of advanced technology within the IAFIS environment."
A software engineer in my Facebook community wrote recently about his outrage that when he visited Disneyland, and went on a ride, the theme park offered him the photo of himself and his girlfriend to buy – with his credit card information already linked to it. He noted that he had never entered his name or information into anything at the theme park, or indicated that he wanted a photo, or alerted the humans at the ride to who he and his girlfriend were – so, he said, based on his professional experience, the system had to be using facial recognition technology. He had never signed an agreement allowing them to do so, and he declared that this use was illegal. He also claimed that Disney had recently shared data from facial-recognition technology with the United States military.
Yes, I know: it sounds like a paranoid rant.
Except that it turned out to be true. News21, supported by the Carnegie and Knight foundations, reports that Disney sites are indeed controlled by face-recognition technology, that the military is interested in the technology, and that the face-recognition contractor, Identix, has contracts with the US government – for technology that identifies individuals in a crowd.
An anti-leak bill from the Senate Intelligence Committee threatens the public's right to know.
When will citizens rise in their righteous anger and demand not a New Deal, not a Great Society, a New Frontier or a Fundamentally Transformed America but instead their original deal.
When taxes become destructive they've surpassed the consent of the governed bending to the will of tyranny. When regulations strangle competition instead of securing it from evil combinations they've become counterproductive and defeat the very purpose for which they were proposed. When foreign entanglements bleed the nation but do not secure the peace or defeat the enemy they've become interventionist vehicles for vested interests. When spending becomes a hemorrhaging of assists leading to national bankruptcy those who continue to pile debt upon debt seek not the good of the nation but instead its destruction. When leaders selected to unite instead do all they can to divide they no longer advance the interest of the whole and are instead partisan leaders in a factional fight.

<Months Behind>, www.monthsbehind.usServer: US-Eredar
Server type: PVP
Faction: Horde
Time zone: EST
Apply: http://www.monthsbehind.us/forums/
What we're looking for:
- any ranged DPS (ele shaman, mage, hunter preferred)
If you're a good anything, however, your application will receive consideration. We like being around cool and talented people, and will make room for you if we can!
To be considered you'll need the gear for current Heroic mode progression, be able to prove you can treat it right and use it well, have relevant experience leading up to what we're doing, and have that certain personal competitive spirit that drives players to play well. Blah blah blah you're going to apply anyway aren't you? *sigh*
Anyway, you'll also need a stable computer and internet connection, as well as Mumble (see: http://mumble.sourceforge.net/ - DO NOT GO TO MUMBLE.COM). You'll need a microphone too - we don't raid mute!
What will you be getting into?
<Months Behind> was created on US-Eredar on January 6, 2006. Yup. We were a raiding guild from the start, and in WoW we're going to continue to be a raiding guild well into the future. Tick off "Longevity".
More than that: our guys don't just raid for epics and passing the time - we enjoy giving back to the community as well. Our guild was featured in the documentary "The Raid", and while we all know our GM Lore is kind of a big deal on Tankspot and Gamebreaker.tv, several of our members like to put out their own strategy & class guides as well. Oh and boss kill videos, plenty of boss kill videos!
While raiding and being involved with WoW is how you get INTO the guild, what you end up getting out of it is so much more. The people here really enjoy playing games together, whether it's WoW, LoL, Hot-Steam-Game-Of-The-Month, or even drunkenly logging onto iSketch.net in the wee hours of the morning ;D In all seriousness though, there's being accepted to raid in the guild, and then there's really *being part of the guild* - we want people who'll be part of the guild.
How we've been doing:
- currently 8/8 heroic (beat the game, again again... again)
When we do it:
8:00pm - 12:00am (midnight)
Tues, Sun, Mon. Less during farm. No, we don't do Firelands for staffs anymore, shoo!
-If you want to join MB to get loot, you're not who we're looking for. We raid because we enjoy raiding, not because we like epics. Chances are very high you won't be receiving much, if any, loot for the first few weeks you're in the guild. If that's not acceptable, save yourself and us some time and don't bother applying.
-If you want to join MB to get carried through content, you're not who we're looking for.
-If you don't think researching your spec is important, you're not who we're looking for.
-If you don't have the best possible gems and enchants on all of your gear, you're not who we're looking for.
-If you don't feel like working for your raid spot, you're not who we're looking for.
-If you think showing up on time, repairing your gear, and having proper consumables are optional, you're not who we're looking for.

Samer Kalef of The Good Point recently asked me a few questions for an article he was doing. Be sure to check it out.
Here's a clip:
As for the reason Collins would return so quickly after announcing his retirement, Clark believes it to be the allure of a possible championship.
"Any team that gets to start Peyton Manning for the majority of games that season has a realistic chance," Clark said. "The Titans aren't an obvious choice as a Super Bowl candidate. They might make the playoffs, they might not, but the Colts? they're always in it and that's because of #18. Collins can fill in for a game or two and then sit back and let Peyton work his magic. In the end, it may work out that Collins gets a ring. He has a real shot, but it's the NFL and you never really know."
