32oz brown glass Lone Tree Brewing grumbler with screw-top filled at The Growler Room here in Austin a couple hours ago and served into an Independence Brewing pilsner glass in me gaff in low altitude Austin, Texas. Expectations are above average given its current rating (81) , style, and brewery (which I view as above average). Cost was ~$9.00. 4.90% ABV confirmed per Karbach's website. 12.5 Plato; 1.050 OG. 45 IBUs. It doesn't identify as anything beyond a "Lager" on the label and website. Reviewed as a generic lager.
Served cold, straight from me fridge. Side-poured with standard vigor as no carbonation issues are anticipated.
A: No bubble show forms as I pour.
Pours a 1.5 finger head of white colour. Okay cream. Decent thickness. Little lacing as the head recedes. Head retention is above average - about 3+ minutes - not bad for a growler pour.
Body colour is a clear pale copper of average vibrance. No yeast particles are visible. Transparent and translucent. Clean.
Looks pretty typical for the style. Not unique or special, but there are no obvious flaws.
Sm: Overly sweet, with plenty of malts. Has edgy herbal and fruity notes; apricot, banana, bubblegum. Caramalts, pilsner malts. Maybe even candi sugar? Grassy. Lightly grainy. Some honey, even.
No yeast character or alcohol is detectable. Decent for the style. A mild to moderate strength aroma.
T: On the sweeter end, to be sure. Grainy, malty, and even a biteen bready. A hint of Vienna malt. German pils malts, caramalts. Herbal and floral hops. Has a vague fruitiness with notes of apricot and peach. Lightly grassy. Decent balance for what it is. Lacks complexity and subtlety. Okay layering. There's little to say about it given its simplicity, but it's by no means uninspired or boring; it just doesn't work as well as it should. Not a gestalt flavour profile.
Average depth, duration, and intensity of flavour.
No yeast character or alcohol comes through.
Mf: Smooth and wet. Overcarbonated (even from a growler). Decent thickness. A bit buttery. Okay body. Okay presence on the palate. Unrefreshing. Doesn't complement the flavour profile all that well, but it's inoffensive. Execution could be better.
Not oily, gushed, hot, boozy, or harsh.
Dr: ABV is pretty well hidden. It's below average for a lager, and I see no reason to get it again. Overpriced for the (lack of) quality. It's drinkable - I mean I'll kill the grumbler without issue - but there's just nothing here to get me to return to it or recommend it to friends. A swing and a miss from Karbach.

Small 32oz growler, acquired day of drinking from DnQ in Houston, poured into pint glass, careful pour. pours clear amber with a full inch head, fades quick to just edge lacing. not much visible carbonation. Smells of citrus(orange) and coriander, very "pale" traditional aroma. slight bread-y (yeast and grain) odor.
Flavors are very floral, yeast, light hoppyness, amber, wheat "bockiness" is strong. definitely a lager, not a huge fan of the style, but this is pretty drinkable. Aromas and flavors don't appear to match however.

12oz can, unknown canning date. Included as an extra in a recent trade with Daniel. Thanks buddy! Poured into a Three Floyds pint glass today, 3/18/2014.
App- Clear light orange/copper body, nice two finger white head with above average retention, lots of thick bubbly lacing as the beer goes down. Looks very refreshing.
Smell- Nose is crisp pilsner malts with a nice tartness, perhaps some wheat sharpness as well. Not complex, but very crisp and enjoyable. This would be great to smell on a hot summer evening.
Flavour- Crackers, bready pilsner malts. Sweeter than the nose would have you think. Nice noble hop bitterness on the backend, somewhat grassy and floral but perfectly bitter and complementary.
Mouthfeel- Medium bodied, a bit more resinous than I'd expect of an EPL based on the ones I've drank when I was living in Germany and visited Switzerland recently. Sticky sweet finish, not particularly dry or refreshing. Disappointing for the style.
Overall- Judging based on the EPL's I've had in Europe in the past, this is far too full bodied, sweet and sticky for my tastes. If I'm going to drink an EPL while traveling or mowing the lawn, I'd want something with lighter body and crisper, more refreshing mouthfeel.

I did a quick review on this gem awhile back. Got a bad habit of being lazy and not doing write ups. For some reason I have passed this beer up for the last 4 months since I first seen it sitting along side it's counterpart brews from Karbach. This is one of the finest lagers available. I picked up a six'er at HEB. I like cans, they are the next thing in craft beer, stays fresh and gets cold fast. This beer taste like a lager should. Clean, crisp and refreshing with a nice balance. Good lacing if poured. The can taste great as is. Maybe a good BBQ beer, beach beer? You decide. Don't be afraid to try this one. I'm happy with it. Support Texas breweries!

Great looking lager, orange-tan with a two finger head that had great staying power and left sticky lacing not commonly seen in a lager.
A great malty backbone is accented by plentiful floral hops, with a touch of earthiness. Downright delicious.
Body is medium and more ale-like than lager like, with a very nice floral hop finish.
Highly recommended. I'm getting more impressed with Karbach's beers each time I try a new one.

Karbach Sympathy for the Lager has a thick, creamy head, a clear, golden appearance, with lots of suspended little brown specks, and a good amount of lacing left behind on the glass. Aroma is of slightly citrus hops and some sweetness, and the taste is of hop oil, sugary white bread, and an overriding bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium and a bit slick, and Karbach Sympathy for the Lager finishes dry, bitter, and fairly drinkable. This is a good beer.

A: probably took a bit too long in getting to this beer but it pours a cloudy orange with a small dense white head that is quick to fade into a footed Pokal
S: smells intensely malty and of floral hops
T: slight floral hop bitterness and a light maltyness and slight residual sugar sweetness. swallow is more floral hops with a bit of spicy hop as well and a bit more malty flavor
M: soft and slightly prickly carb with a fairly light mouthfeel, slightly drying finish
O: not bad. something different but the color wasn't what I was expecting but that might have been my fault. Even though it might be a bit off the mark I like it better than some other Euro Pale Lagers.

Pours a pale light coppery color, thick fluffy white head and loads of lace. Aroma was mild, but, theres crackers and biscuits, light sweetness, and a touch of crassly hops. Taste is much better. Sweet bready notes, biscuits, tinge of caramel sweetness, grassy floral hop notes with the slightest of bitterness. Light bodied, good crisp carbonation, and a refreshing lager. Great lawn owner beer.

16 oz. on-tap poured into pint at the Hay Merchant in Houston (great place!)
L: very dark gold; not a ton of lacing; strange ... it's much darker than a standard lager (Euro pale lager on here ... at the Hay Merchant, I think they list it as a "Helles")
S: light, weak, sweet
T: light but with good bitter hops up front. it wants to smooth out like an ale but doesn't ... and it shouldn't. it's a lager, right?
F: real mouthful for a lager; say what you want, this is not water.
O: not bad at all; probably a great session beer. and i might be over-rating it a tick or two, but it really impressed me for a lager (not an overly expensive one, either)
Karbach is doing things. I saw it on tap all over Houston this past weekend.

a clean golden/orange pour with 2 fingers of detergent-like head. smells of orange, lemongrass, lager yeast, bread. slightly hoppy bitterness up front, then it goes staight to the sweet malty typical lager flavor.. finished off by more earthy bittering notes. one of the hoppiest lagers i've had.... the name suits it well. medium-light body with modest amount of carbonation. sticky on the lips. a great lager.. not one of the best offerings from the brewer, but hey, this is a great gateway beer if you ask me!

I only got to try 5oz of this beer as it came as part of a flight of 5 Texas beers for $10. Served on tap at the Flying Saucer Beer Emporium in downtown Houston, Texas.
The beer poured a nice golden/yellow color with a 1 finger white head. Retentuion was short lived, but lacing was decent.
Biscuity malt and noble hop aroma.
Biscuity malr flavor with a touch of honey-like sweetness. Hop bitterness is mild, but noticeable. Very well balanced.
Medium bodied with medium high carbonation.
A cut above most standard lagers.

On tap at the brewery. Clear gold in color with some white head.
Flavor profile is butter and biscuit malts. Some bittering hops, but mainly bready type malts. I couldn't drink a lot of this. It was just a really bad lager. I like the other stuff they make, but this I couldn't handle.

A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon Karbach's in Houston and was interested, and I like supporting local brewers. I thought it was interesting how they canned everything whereas many "craft" brewers forego canning altogether. I thought, "Cool, I'll have to try them some time", and went about my day.
A week or so later, I noticed they were being sold at Kroger. Excited to try this new brand out, I grabbed a canned 6-back of Sympathy for the Lager. I like lighter beers, so I went for that one. And this is what happened...
I generally don't believe in reviewing color or head. Those attributes can be indicative of certain things but have ZERO bearing on how good a beer is. I drank this straight out of the can.
My first impression was: Utter Crap. I was thirsty, it was chilled - straight from the store. It tasted like what I imagine the bottom of my shoe tastes like. It's really not fair to judge from one mouthful, so I perservered and finished the can. Nope - nothing changed. Ok, one beer isn't enough to throw everything out. So, I had a total of four beers that evening - and they were all the same. I taste no hopps. I taste nothing like malted anything. And the AFTERTASTE... The bland, bitter taste is really indescribable. Karbach says they were going for an "authentic" recipe. God save the Czechs/Germans if this is what a genuine Pilsner or any other lager tastes like...
So, I had two beers left and brought them to my work buddies. I didn't want them to expect perfection, so I said, "I didn't go for this beer - tell me what you think". And they poured a can into glasses and proceded with caution... Now, you have to understand, all four of us are home-brewers. We all know what decent beer should taste like - whatever the style. None of them even finished their glasses. One of them almost spit it out without swallowing! (...that's what she said...)
This beer tasted like everything that is horrible and communist about American beer - only amplified with the flavor of the open road. Amazing. Schlitz is better than this.
I am willing to accept that this could have been just a bad batch, but it's not like I didn't give it a fair shake. A literal BAD batch of beer is infected and undrinkable. I have no reason to believe that what I had was not the intended final product.
Houston - cut me off into space, I'm not coming back. I'll say "Hi" to Voyager for you...

Very foamy mid yellow bodied lager. Nothing interesting in aroma department. Mid mouth feel, decent drinkability despite slight acidic edge in finish. Always giving a lager an even break. Decent malting, not sweet, some spiciness. Not bad, and Vienna is a style I can like.

Another of a seemingly endless supply of canned beers from woodychandler. Poured from a 12 oz. can. Has a light brownish color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is sweet and malty. Taste is malts, grains, some hops at the finish, sweetness from the smell is missing. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a pretty good beer.

Another Texas beer got in what seems to be an unending trade with Tofuspeedstar, Thanks again!
A - wow, beautiful golden evening sun yellow and orange, large crisply white foamy head, looks very nice in the glass
S - huge lager aroma with a bit extra heartiness to it, an almost sourdough biscuit smell to it. *Initially thought it was just a lager, after seeing its 'style' classification here it seems to match it well*
T - huge biscuity malt taste throughout, it is intermingled with a bit of bitter sweetness that I've noticed more so with beers that use honey malt, almost a sour lactic sweetness but not quite, its highly prevalent in the aftertaste but still intriguing and enjoyable
O - this was quite a surprise, I had asked for it because I've been looking for a good Lager and was not dissapointed, this is a tasty beer with a degree of complexity I was not initially expecting. Kudos to Karbach you're doing the style and state of Texas proud!

Today has officially been designated as New CANned Beer Sunday in order to jumpstart the long-dormant CANQuest (TM) which stalled for a number of reasons. Big Thanks and Major Ups to the wonderful JenRay for sending Karbach CANs along from Houston! And now, we CANtinue with today's programming, already in progress ...
From the CAN: "[Proudly] Brewed in Texas";
"Lagerhythm [-]
Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a beer of damn fine taste
I've been around for a long, long time
But many brewers ruined my name
I've watched now for several decades
As my character's been disgraced
But now the boys down on Karbach Street [Aha!]
Have made me first rate
Full of fine malt and German hops
My taste is both fine and bold
And though my flavor always stands out
I'm best enjoyed cold
So if you meet me have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, enjoy my taste ..."
From Karbach Street to Chez Woody, I began with a standard Crack, followed by an inverted Glug, resulting in cascading action at the juncture between liquid and foam. Color was a deep amber with NE-quality clarity. The tawny head was massive and lasting and resembled the top of an ice cream cone. Nose was pleasantly malty and sweet and I am OK with that, especially in a lager, following so many AAL clunkers on The CANQuest (TM) to date. Mouthfeel was medium and the grassy Saaz hops were immediately obvious on the tongue. Finish was dry and moderately bitter and I CAN get behind this! I would take this to the beach or put it in my cooler for Hula in the Coola Day (01 February, annually). Houston, I have no problem with this beer! Bravo to all involved.

1343rd Review on BA
Can to Pint
Thanks to Lnashsig for this one
App- Golden and yellow throughout. Top falling dark to light with a two finger puffy head. Some nice cling and stick. Nice coloring
Smell- Very earthy, a bit of dirt, some bitter mixed in with a bit of that lager yeast note. Smells more like a vienna to me. Semi rich malts.
Taste- Much like the nose, many aromas translate to flavors. Semi-malty with a semi-bitter flavor and a good dose of that lager butter flavor.
Mouth- A lighter medium body with a good light medium carbonation. Very earthy and a touch bitter with solid butter and wheat flavors.
Drink- One of the better lagers. Still cant get into the style.

Great golden color and thick, creamy white head.
Classic lager aroma: light, biscuit-like malt with an subtle, earthy hop aroma.
Light and refreshing in taste and mouthfeel. Slightly citrusy. Biscuit notes confirm the aroma hints. Slight caramel notes. Slight sharp hop bitterness that smooths out with the malt sweetness at the end. Finishes clean and dry. Rather effervescent with the carbonation, creating a smoothness in the mouth.
A fine, tasty lager. Very easy drinking with noticeable yet well-balanced lager flavorings throughout.

12oz can into Red Oak becker.
Pours a clear golden yellow with a good sized fluffy white head. Smell is some lager yeast and sweet malt, hint of floral malt. Taste is malty (caramel?) with floral hops and a clean bitter finish. There is a sulfur taste as well that I am not crazy about. Body is medium weight and fairly high carb.
This is actually quite pretty for a lager. Overall a very solid all malt lager, perhaps a bit sharp and somewhat pilsner-like. Good amount of taste. Goes amazingly well with soft pretzels and good mustard.

12 oz can pours a very clear, medium gold color with a creamy cap of white head. Nice retention and lacing. Good looking brew.
Nose is sulfurous lager yeast and floral hops. Little bit of a sweet biscuity malt background.
Smooth graininess with a pretty big punch of hoppy bitterness. The mouthfeel is surprisingly full and rich for this type of lager. Id actually place it more in the American Pale Lager category or maybe a helles as opposed to an Amber/Red lager. There is nothing amber or red about it. Whatever you call it, it is damn tasty. I'll be buying this one again, for sure.

A--Apricot-colored, pale orange and clean looking. Pours about an inch of head that dissipates fairly quickly, leaving behind layers on the glass.
S--Wheat, red apples, cinnamon, musky malts, maybe pear, virtually no hops in the smell. Not particularly strong.
T--Malts are up front, but not long lived. I get the same cinnamon apple from the smell, and some light honey and caramel notes. Floral hops dominate and linger on the palate. Sort of a bitter, sulfur aftertaste.
M--A bit thicker than medium bodied. Carbonation is high, maybe a little too high for my liking.
D--I could see myself going for another one, but this wouldn't be a session beer for me.
Overall, the hubby and I like it and appreciate it for how big it is for the style. A full flavored, complex lager worth trying. Karbach Brewing Co. continues to impress.

On tap at Onion Creek in Houston.
The beer pours an orange-yellow color with a white head. The aroma is extremely malty with quite a bit of toffee malt, as well as some light caramel notes. There is not much, if any, hop or alcohol character in the aroma.
The flavor is also very malty. There is a ton of toffee and caramel malt, as well as the resulting sweetness. There is also a little bit of earth character from the hops, but this is still all about the malt.
Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

A- dark amber with Orange highlights. Nice color for a lager!
S- not much to speak of. A bit more hops and malt than a usual lager but overall muted.
T- a clean full flavor lager. Bittering hops and sweet bisciuty malts take front seat. Kind of reminds me of a hoppy marzen.

On tap at Queen Vic in Houston, TX.
A: Pours a clear golden/orange color. A two finger light beige head forms with good retention. Some sticky lace is left behind.
S: Toasted and dry malts are up front, which quickly fades to sweet caramel. Hops come in towards the end, and dominate the finish. Lingering grapefruit bitterness.
T: Follows the nose. Toasted malts, bread and biscuit at first. Though plenty of caramel sweetness as well. A sharp bitterness lingers.
M/D: A light to medium body. Good carbonation and crisp. Easy and quaffable beer to drink.
Very enjoyable, and a nice addition to the Houston beer scene. I will continue to drink this again, but I think there are better lagers made in Texas. Karbach blew me away with their first release. Not so much with the others. Still very enjoyable and worth a try.

Monthly Wellness Horoscope for VirgoPresented by Horoscope.com
With Uranus as your health planet, health issues may tend to surprise you and be acute rather than chronic. Mars moves through Sagittarius and your home zone for much of the month, so you could be guilty of burning the candle at both ends. And even more unusual for you, you might forget you have a body at all, let alone that it needs food and rest. You also need to be careful once Mars moves to Capricorn and later squares Uranus (on November 23). Whatever you're up to on that day, take it easy. If you feel moody or angry, drive carefully!

Welcome to the third week of the Cage Match Tournament! In case you missed them, here are the previous week's editions:
Week 1 – Introducing the Bracket
Week 2 – Howe Bracket: Round One
Week 3 – Richard Bracket: Round One
Over the past week you voted on your favourites in Round One of the Richard Bracket, otherwise known as The Hurt Locker because of how many top rated players are currently injured. Last week produced our closest matchup yet, let's take a look at this week's results and see if we can't top it.
#1 Alexander Ovechkin over #8 Henrik Zetterberg – 94 votes to 19 votes
Ovechkin is the kind of player who can beat other guys in his sleep, which is good because he has been in hibernation all season. Even luckier for Ovechkin, is he got to face Henrik Zetterberg, who for all his talents is looking old and busted. Only Z-Berg in his prime could have had a shot at unseating the Great Eight. At his age, with his worn down body, this was no contest, a mercy killing really.
#2 Sidney Crosby over #7 James Neal – 86 votes to 24 votes
Sidney Crosby is a pathological winner. This guy has accomplished everything you could want to as a professional hockey player. If there is a pro-athlete bucket list, he has that ledger filled up. But, he's only 24, so with well over half his career still ahead of him, let alone over half his life he is not ready to rest. So when he found out he pulled a two-seed in this tournament he climbed out of that dark hole he's been hiding in and got himself cleared for contact just in time to lay the smack down on James "The Real Deal" Neal.
The real deal? Naaah, Crosby don't play that. And a second seed? Please. Crosby could have walked away. He could have left an Orr-esque legacy that simultaneously celebrates his greatness and asks what could have been. But Crosby came back and laid the smack down on Neal. Next victim.
#3 Nicklas Backstrom over #6 Martin St. Louis – 80 votes to 29 votes
Nicklas Backstrom overcame similar struggles to pull out the opening round victory as did Sidney Crosby, as the Capitals top centerman remains out with a concussion and no timetable for his return. Still he showed enough upside to survive this match up.
More than any other matchup this reminds us that this is a young man's game. At 36 years old, Martin St. Louis keeps pumping out quality production and is currently 16th in league scoring with 61 points in 61 games and yet, he never really stood a chance. This is more sad than anything because if St. Louis keeps hanging on like some we have seen in recent years then he will prove us all way wrong. But then again, maybe the wheels are starting to come off. I fully expect to see you back here again next year, even if it's to be first round fodder once again.
#4 Pavel Datsyuk over #5 Taylor Hall – 60 votes to 54 votes
And we have a tie… for the tightest matchup yet! Another young Oiler dared to challenge the establishment and take down a pillar of the fantasy hockey universe.
So close young Mr. Hall, and yet so far. Datsyuk is an absolute magician and while it has been several years since Datsyuk actually dominated, he has enough tricks up his sleeve to get past a young punk like Hall. You still have a lot to learn and a lot to prove. We'll see you next time Taylor, we hope you learned something.
Here is the updated bracket:
This week we have round one in the Gretzky Bracket, which may be arguably the tightest bracket out there. This bracket has three of the past six Art Ross Trophy winners and three of the past six Hart Trophy Winners. There are a lot of winners up in here, and that's why it's the Gretzky Bracket. Here are the matchups:
#1 Henrik Sedin vs. #8 Joe Thornton
#2 Daniel Sedin vs. #7 Eric Staal
#3 Zach Parise vs. #6 Ilya Kovalchuk
#4 Corey Perry vs. #5 Ryan Getzlaf

Private-equity group making rival bid for the computer maker has reportedly discussed the CEO's position with the former HP chief.
Apple's co-founder reportedly urged a reconciliation between the beleaguered former CEO and Hewlett-Packard's board.
Two main excerpts from the press release Hewlett-Packard put out Friday announcing CEO Mark Hurd's departure following sexual harassment claims.
In a new court filing, Oracle says Hewlett-Packard committed fraud by not disclosing plans to hire two former Oracle executives while the two companies were at work on a settlement.
Less than two weeks after suing Mark Hurd for taking a post at competitor Oracle, the two companies settle out of court after he agreed to return stock to HP.
The 8-page missive from Jodie Fisher's attorney alleges the former HP chief made repeated sexual overtures, which Hurd's lawyer denies.
Hurd, now president of Oracle, loses an appeal in court this week that would keep the letter accusing him of sexual harassment confidential.
A former salesperson and actress expresses sadness that the former HP CEO lost his job but reiterates the two did not have a sexual relationship.
A copy of the e-mail sent to HP employees by interim CEO Cathie Lesjak, following Mark Hurd's resignation Friday.
As a well-managed company, HP's next few months will likely be business as usual. But the next CEO has opportunities to expand HP's reach and vision even further.

Workshop on Clinical Guidelines for maternal care in Mumbai, India
Together with the Foundation of Medical Research in India, Francoise Cluzeau ran a two-day workshop in Mumbai on clinical guidelines for maternal care in India, with support from the Population Foundation of India, New Delhi and Tata Steel Rural Development Society, Jamshedpur. The workshop brought together 20 participants with experience in guideline development and implementation at maternity and community level from Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand, Kerala and Maharashtra, representatives from national societies, the Federation of Obstetricians & Gynaecological societies in India and input from the Administrative Staff College of India (ASCI).
Participants reviewed the quality of existing guidelines (using the international AGREE criteria), shared experiences of implementing guidelines and explored adaptation of international guidelines for use in India. Together, they identified specific areas for improvement in maternal care across India, where clinical recommendations could be developed as a priority.

Recipe by Rob B.
"You can always find this creamy, bitter, super-sweet energizing drink at your favorite Thai restaurants. But now you can enjoy it at home as well! Perfect for backyard BBQs. Serve with a straw!"

4 1/2 cups
tea bags black tea
4 teaspoons
white sugar
1/4 cup
sweetened condensed milk, divided
1/4 cup
half-and-half, divided
The key to this is finding the right type of tea, not black tea. You can find this at an Asian market or whole foods/bristol farms. Thank you for posting this! Perfect on a warm summer day while cooking other Thai recipes from AR!
This tea is good, but it is certainly not the same sweet tea you receive at your favorite Thai restaurant, and I pretty much knew that going in, but figured I should try it before I rate it. There is a specific Thai tea that is used in this; and it's not black tea. It's actually a red tea and can generally be purchased at any Asian market. That tea makes ALL the difference in the world in the taste.

I think "black tea" needs to be more specific. Didn't taste like traditional thai tea.
soooooo good!!
to have real Thia ice tea go to an asian food store i buy a bg of Thia tea. I have an ice tea maker & use it all the time I use 8 spoonfulls wen it done I put in some sugar & 1/2 & 1/2. It's wonderful!
Do not use black tea. Other wise it is very tasty. I will keep trying this w/ different teas until I find the one I like the best.
If you use Star Anise, Clove, and Vanilla in addition to black tea it's pretty darn close.
Very tasty and refreshing even on a winter day (I like hot and iced tea any time of year). The next time I go to the asian market I'll check out their tea selection, but today this was made with tea in my pantry. The condensed sweet milk does tend to fall to the bottom, so I found myself stirring frequently.

I think they should add a small sitting area. It wouldn't take much room and it would be a very nice addition. There's no place for Grandma to have someone over and for them both to sit and talk unless one is sitting on the bed.

Totally agree! I've been thinking how easy it would be to make a better design, lol.
You should enter into a "large" open space. The kitchen w/island would be on your right, and a tiny sitting area would be in front of you. On the left would be two doors, the first door leading to the much tinier bedroom. Beyond the bedroom would be the bathroom, with doors that open to both the sitting area and to the bedroom.

Gilbert said he started with 300 blueberry plants. His interest grew from that. He said that blueberries have one of the highest antioxidant capacities among all fruits and vegetables.
Gilbert said that blueberries need to be well-drained. They need full sun, acidic soil with a pH between 4.5 and 5-2 and planted at least five feet apart. It's recommended to plant three varieties for the best yield.
Container grown blueberries can be planted locally from October through March. Incorporate some organic matter into the planting hole such a peat moss, compost, or fine pine bark. After planting, mulch the plants.
Watering is needed twice a week. Use organic materials as fertilizer or ammonium forms of nitrogen, such as urea or ammonium sulfate. Blueberry shrubs are virtually pest and disease free and have brilliant red foliage in the fall.
Gilbert handed out "pick a gallon of blueberries for free in 2012" certificates.
Sheila Webb, president, introduced Marilyn Blair and Tammy Singley as visitors. She also conducted the business meeting.
Other members present were Doris Baucom, Karin Drewes, Don Judd, Cindii Mitchell, Carolyn Patton, Constance Sims, Dan Spector, Barbara Tucker, Lucy Morris and Yun Prater.

Additional Ways to Shop: Fishing 101
Bass Pro Shops Fishing
Base Camp
Additional Ways to Shop: Ascend
After having a Minn Kota 65W 27-pound trolling motor for 27 years until it finally broke down, it occured to me how reliable and economical Minn Kota motors are.
Right after my wife and I got married years ago, we bought a 12-foot Jon boat and a Minn Kota 65W 27-pound trolling motor from Bass Pro Shops. Since I was going to use the motor on both our Jon boat and our 16-foot fiberglass fishing boat, I bought one with a 36-inch shaft but the 30-inch shaft would have sufficed, even on our bigger boat.
Ol' Reliable. The Minn Kota brands are one of the most dependable on the market, the author says, including the Endura C2.
We still have the original motor and the Jon boat — well kinda. I have abused both horribly. I've always thrown the trolling motor in the bottom of the boat and took off down rocky roads to my destination. Finally, after 27 years, it locked in forward gear. It still ran, it just wouldn't go into neutral or reverse. I decided to work on it, which as usual went south. Two of the inside relay switches were shelled out and they no longer make them, if they did, for two $8 parts my motor would be like new again.
In 27 years, I have had literally zero problems — unless you count the time that I ran into a rock pile and broke the propeller before I could get the motor turned off.
After I ceremoniously buried my trolling motor in the garbage can, I ordered a Minn Kota Endura C2 40-pound transom mount trolling motor as a replacement. That should really push my little 12 foot Jon boat.
If you've never used a transom mounted trolling motor, they are super easy to operate. You just clip it on your transom, tighten it down and clip the wires onto the battery terminal and you're good to go. It's that simple.
Of course it's great to have a gas motor to shoot around, but for hardcore fishing you have to have a trolling motor. They allow you to quietly putter along a bank while casting or maneuver while out in a lake fishing and on smaller boats they can be used to troll.
You'll need to talk to your BPS expert to determine the best sized Minn Kota trolling motor for your boat. I would always go with the higher side due to the inevitable fact that some day you will hit high winds. They have five gears, so it's not like you have to run around in ram speed just because you went with the bigger model.
Here are a few thoughts on Minn Kota's C2 transom mount trolling motor:
Minn Kota's run off of a deep cycle battery. Of course the more you use it and the faster you go, the faster you drain your battery. A battery will not last all day if you're trolling but I've found if I park and fish intermittently that I can milk it out so it lasts nearly all day. Properly taken care of, your battery should last for a number of years. My current battery is a Power Series Deep Cycle 185 that I bought at the BPS in Denver in 2006. Always buy the largest one that you can afford so you don't run out of juice during a fishing trip.
Minn Kota transom-mount trolling motors are super easy to operate. They have fives speeds. The lower speed is perfect for cruising around shorelines while casting and the faster gears are good for trolling. Each gear progresses slightly in speed. According to the size of your boat, water drag, etc., you will have to decide what gear to be in for each lure and fishing method that you're employing. Mine in high gear cruises along at a good clip.
Easy Peasy. The author likes how easy the Minn Kota Endura C2 Transom-Mount Trolling Motor is to use.
If you are trolling and hang a fish, you may want to stop immediately and fight him so you don't lose him. Instead of working back down through the gears I hit the neutral button. There is a switch that allows you to go forward, neutral or reverse. If you want to go backwards, don't hit it from forward right into backwards. I always go to neutral, wait a second and then hit reverse.
If you place your hand on the top of the motor, you will notice that it is a little warm. This is normal. While on this topic, make sure that the wires are firmly clipped onto your boat terminal. After 27 years of use, the wires going into my clips had become somewhat frayed. I cut these off and restrung them so it wouldn't inhibit the power source.
The Minn Kota runs super quiet so you can sneak into a cove and not spook fish.
I haven't weighed mine, but the total shipping wt. on a 40-pound motor is 22 pounds; so it can't weight much over 18 pounds. The killer on weight will be the battery. My battery weighs 59 pounds.
I use mine to putt around all over. I go in some pretty big lakes with my 12-foot little Jon and use the motor to cross lakes, troll and work the banks. If using it on large lakes, it would be a good idea to buy an extra plastic prop just to be safe, in case you hit a rock.
They are super easy to operate and within one trip you will be comfortable operating one. Like with all boats though, don't get in the prop because it could tear you up.

"My daughter was born in January and I thought the hearts tied in nicely with Valentine's Day (around when the cards were received). We have the announcement framed in our living room and I still look at it and love it almost every day. I put my daughter's name in pink and mixed-and-matched fonts.."
"of all the cards (and we did find a few we really liked) this one seemed to really get the joy we feel now across. It is a very unique announcement...not like the typical everyday announcements that we have seen. This is the one we are going to get. Now just deciding which photo to use.."
"When I ordered my birth announcements I was a little worried about the quality of the photo since I was uploading it from my iPad. When I received the cards, which arrived on the exact day they estimated, I was amazed at how beautiful the cards were. personalizing the cards was very easy and straight forward. Uploading the picture was also very easy. This is something I would definitely do again. These birth announcements turned out perfectly. I recommend this service to everyone!"
"The announcement came out absolutely beautiful. We rounded the corners and used the pearlized paper. We also took advantage of adding 3 more photos to the back of the card since we had so many great newborn session photos. We felt that this card was truly a reflection of our precious angel and we couldnt be happier with the elegance, quality and final product."
"This card is absolutely gorgeous!! The image is the sweetest thing, so adorable. We love the choice of colours and font and the presentation on matt paper with rounded edges (custom choice). Even though it meant an overseas order, we were so impressed with this design and final product we did not hesitate to place an order. And we were definetly not disappointed!!!!"

Renowned Conservationist Dr. Ian Player Inaugural SAB Environmental Hall of Famer
17 October 2012
Johannesburg, 17 October 2011: The South African Breweries (SAB) today inducted world-renowned conservationist, Dr. Ian Player into its inaugural SAB Environmental Hall of Fame as part of the SAB Environmental Media and Environmentalist of the Year Awards 2012.
Dr. Player, who was instrumental in starting these awards nearly two and a half decades ago and served as Convener until last year, was presented with the Award by ex-Protea's player, now-turned Conservationist, Mark Boucher.
"We've been considering implementing this award for some time now, but it was only when Dr. Player resigned as Convenor, that we thought it appropriate to have him as our first inductee," said Robyn Chalmers, Corporate Communications Head for SAB.
The Environmental Media winners and merit winners were announced in four major categories and the Environmentalist of the Year was also named.
Incoming convener and former newspaperman Peter Sullivan was encouraged by the increase in entries, particularly in the print category. Sullivan commented on the award winning quality of most of the entries. Water seems to have been the dominant topic among this year's entries.
"I was reminded of the first man to be both a cosmonaut and astronaut, Jean-Loup Chretien, an American who spent six months in the Soviet Mir Space Station. When he returned to Earth, he said he felt a desperate need to warn the planet of how precious its water is," commented Sullivan.
The SAB Environmental Media Award Winners 2012 are:
* Joy Summers (Carte Blanche)
Merit Winners:
* Phillip Lennon (50/50)
* Russell Perks (50/50)
* Nikki and Jacques Otto (Carte Blanche)
Print and New Media
* Sheree Bega (The Star)
Merit Winners:
* Kristen van Schie (The Star)
* Lebogang Seale (The Star)
* Christine Rousseau (Lowveld Media)
Winner: Scott Ramsay (Yearinthewild.com)
The Magqubu Ntombela and Ian Player Cub Award
(for journalists with under five years' experience)
* Minoshni Pillay (SABC Radio)
The Nick Steele Memorial Award for the SAB Environmentalist of the Year 2012
* Cormac Cullinan (Director of Cullinan & Associates)
Merit Winner:
* Mariette Liefferink ( CEO: Federation for a Sustainable Environment)
"We would like to congratulate all winners and entrants of the SAB Environmental Media & Environmentalist of the Year Awards 2012 and encourage them and their peers to enter next year's competition when it opens in September next year," said Chalmers.

It was a high value/low cost item that people can use. No complaints!
I liked most that it was affordable. I have no complaints about any of the products we've ordered so far.
The quality is excellent and the size is "just right." Everyone in the office was impressed w/the above. Magnet is a little weaker than I would prefer, but it has adhered well to vertical placement so far.
The Clip is a good size and nice color - the logo(wording) could have been a little bigger, other than that, it's fine
Good buy!

OEC Fluid Handling markets DWT leader pumps for handling DEF in North America
Advanced pump products designed for delivering DEF to create a clean environment.
OEC Fluid Handling is introducing DWT Leader Pumps into the North American market for pumping DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid). These submersible and self-priming pumps are specifically designed to handle DEF and are available in stainless steel and non-metallic construction. Glen Covington, president of OEC Fluid Handling, confirmed that "OECFH will be using a network of representatives in the USA and Canada to select PEI fuel and lubrication distributors and wholesalers to sell and service DWT Leader Pumps. Our parent company Oilmen's Equipment Corp (OEC), currently has several OEM's who manufacture DEF dispensing equipment using DWT Pumps."
DWT Leader Pumps are used for pumping DEF from drums, totes, aboveground or underground tanks. DWT Leader Pumps provide high mechanical reliability along with chemical compatibility with DEF. The Blue Diver submersible pump products are designed with exclusive inert glass filled motors with sealed lubricated bearings for life. This bearing design insures DEF product purity in case of motor failure.
Until the introduction of the Diver Series of submersible pumps, there has not been a small diameter submersible pump for underground tank application. Diver Series pumps provide DEF flows at higher pressures for applications requiring multiple dispensing points, or remote aboveground or underground tank installation.
DWT Leader self-priming pumps feature 304 stainless steel casing construction and impellers manufactured of polymers compatible with DEF. Euroinox pumps provide smooth flow and the higher pressures needed for dispensing DEF through lengthy hose and meter systems.
DWT Leader Pumps have been supplying high-quality pump products for pumping DEF for the European market since the inception of the use of AUS32. DWT Leader Pumps are designed to comply with ISO 22241-3 standards and have been installed in many thousands of installations across Europe. OEC Fluid Handling has the marketing responsibility for DWT Leader Pump products for DEF in the North American market.

I like being able to buy only what I need instead of a bag of pieces that will never get used.
I have been purchasing pearl and abalone from Stew Mac for years and have consistently received nice blanks. If there was a problem with quality, it was replaced. I will continue to buy from Stew Mac.
The gold and white blanks I ordered were great, but one of the abalone blanks had some heavy pitting and color variation that would require some heavy sanding to remove. Considering I ordered 2 sets of the 3 pack and the all came in 1 tiny sealed bag I'm sure someone had to have seen the piece and decided to send it to me anyway.
Brazos Pirate,
We're sorry you were unhappy with the abalone blank. We offer a 100% guarantee; if any item fails to meet your expectations, you may return it, unaltered, for a refund or exchange.
I bought a set of ten gold inlays and cut them out on a laser cutter. Some turned out well, but some were ruined because it seems the size of the inlays is actually about 1 1/128", which makes a difference in precision machining. I ordered ten more, and some were very brittle and snapped very easily. I am still debating shelling out $40 more for another set. All in all though, they look very nice and will turn out well if you handle them with care.
I always receive consistant quality with your inlay material and this saves me work. I know I must be getting the good stuff from your secret stash. Thanks stewmac.
stew-macs inlay materials are consistant,in quality,size,and price! i`ll buy nowhere else!
A little pricey, but worth it. Very nice quality, perfectly flat. Thick enough that it wont break on you very easily.
Great mop blanks and service A+++ Used on a sax to match key touches perfectly
Got two of the 1x2 white MOP blanks and was very happy with the quality. Very easy to work with.
All three look amazing, they are very good quality and they all are cut to the same thickness.

It was a year ago, but since I'm seeing similar experiences thought I'd share:
Took my daughter shopping for her homecoming dress. Should have been a pleasant experience. We entered the (very small) building and received almost instant dirty looks and nasty attitude from the lady in the store. She was rude and made comments under her breath (obviously thought I couldn't hear) about my daughter while she tried on her dress. She is a plus size 18. Nowhere near huge, but very curvy. Another thing that bothered us was that she didn't give my daughter any privacy while she tried on her dress. She was peeking at her the whole time. (I'm mad now that I didn't say anything.) Unfortunately, because it was last minute we ended up buying the overpriced so-so quality dress. (Though it did look great on her.)
Very negative experience! Would never shop here again...
Like a month ago, i bought my prom dress here at Samila Boutique. Sincerely, i went to all possible prom dress stores in Seattle, CA and finally (and thanks God) i reached Samila Boutique. The lady that works there (too bad i cant remember her name) patiently helped me try like 25 dresses until i found THE ONE. She was really sincere with her opinion of how the dresses looked on me, which helped a lot, because i had no idea what was my kind of dress. If you're searching for nice treatment, professional help and thousands of dresses to see so you can finally choose, Samila is the perfect place. You'll end up buying more than one! Thanks Samila, my prom will be the best one ever<3 I'll give this place a five star definetely.
Best Place to Buy a Dress EVER – I knew exactly what kind of dress I wanted to get and had been looking at dresses online for weeks before I went to Samila. I had actually gone online and found a dress that I liked on the Samila website but I never imagined it would be as pretty as it was when I saw it in person.
I went in to the store early on a Sunday morning because I had been in once before just to look around and it had been pretty crowded because the boutique is so small, but going in at an off-time was perfect and it was hardly crowded at all. I looked around but didn't see the dress I had liked online so I asked the manager about it. She directed me to a computer upstairs and told me to find it and show it to her (very cool I thought, loved having a computer available for customers). I found the dress I had wanted online and she said "Ohh you're very lucky, girl. We have one left just for you!" She looked all over the store for it and finally found it and brought it to me.
The dressing room situation was VERY professional. They take all of the dresses you pick out and hang them up outside of the dressing room and tell you to go in and strip down to your undies. Then they take the dresses out of the bags for you, unzip them, and hand them in to the dressing room all opened up and ready to go. They even zip the dresses for you so you don't have to worry about getting the zipper stuck. Then when you are looking in the mirror they hold the dress for you so that you can see how it would look with alterations and high heels.
I was even more impressed when I asked for help taking a dress off and as the girl helping me took the dress off, she turned around as it came off so that she was facing the other way. I thought that was a really classy and proffessional thing to do.
Overall my experience there was wonderful. There were hundreds of dresses that were all gorgeous, classy, unique, and worth every penny. The ladies who work there are very proffessional and are obviously in the right trade- they really know what they're doing. I went home and showed my dress to all my friends and told all of them to go to Samila and told them it was the best place on earth.
My mom would like me to add that she loved it too :)
If you're looking for a formal dress go to Samilas...unless you are one of these other impatient snobs who tries to trash on this place. Obviously if the place is too crowded for you then they do not need your business anyway and I'm sure Sears will welcome you with open arms.
Amazing!!!!!! – We were desperate for a prom dress and could find nothing. Heard about Samilas and called but they were closing. Jasmine stayed open late for us and found several dresses that were all perfect! We left there with a dress that would be altered in time for prom - less than a week away. This is our new store for special occasion dresses. The customer service was above and beyond!! Jasmine is the BEST!!!! Thank you.
Best Place to Buy a Dress! – Samila is my favorite dress store and i have bought 2 dresses from there in the past 2 years. The service is fantastic and like Shelby said, Yasmin remembered both out names when we were in the store this Monday. No matter the occasion they make sure that you find the dress perfect for you and they would never harass anyone. I have had one of my dresses for 2 years and it still does not have any wholes or anything. If the dress needs altering they do it for you and its perfect. I honestly don't know what store these people went to but it wasn't samila!
Horrible customer service, return policy, and dress quality – I went there to buy a formal dress, and there were holes and stains on my dress that i realized after i made my purchase. After I made my purchase, the main owner lady claimed she could not let me return anything. She said I can only exchange. I honestly could not find any other dress that matched my style but one that was good enough but i had to shell out another 70 dollars. I spent a total of 370 at that place, and I regret it very much.
The ladies that work there always act so rushed and they were like rushing me in the fitting room, telling me to hurry up and just buy the dress already in in a joking but annoying manner, and just making up lies like this will sell by tomorrow if you do not buy it now.
They use insincere sales tactics, its so pressuring and annoying. After looking back, i realize i fell for those tactics.
Sadly those sale pitches got to me, and now its too late to do anything about it because of their unfair no return policy.
never going there again, and i recommend you buying else where, like nordstrom with great customer service.
Will never buy a dress anywhere else! – For the last 2 years I have bought all of my formal dresses from Samila botique, and I plan to continue to buy my dresses there. The staff there are so friendly and genuine(particularly Yasmin, the younger manager) and the customer service is excellent (the staff recognised me and my friend immediately and even remembered our name's). I have never had an issue with returning a dress.... but then again I usually don't buy a nice, expensive prom dress without thinking it through first...
Worst experience ever... – Nothing good about this store.
Although, the one older lady employee helping my daughter try on dresses, was nice. The others need to take customer relation/business courses, particularly the younger manager. After some negotiating, the owner finally realized it was best, in all fairness to let me return the dress. The purchase had been made 45 minutes prior.
The dressing room there was terribly crowded, my daughter just wanted to get out of there, and try the dress on at home. We were told by the nice lady helping us out that we had 7 days to return the dress. My daughter did not like and also felt uncomfortable that the manager kept calling her "love". It just felt so insincere. Have heard other friends of my daughters say the same thing; they didn't like it either.
Those Swedes, the Nordstom's, are one great example/role models for us all, where happy smiles are in, and where the customer is treated fairly, and "comes first". ...So essential for any good successful business today, especially during these competitive rough economic times.
Luckily we found "the perfect dress" elsewhere, so much better quality and $$'s less. It was completely perfect, and fit my daughter to a tee. Absolutely gorgeous!! Many kudos to this other dress shop we stumbled upon. It was perfect in every way; the two young gals(employees) there were excellent A+ shining examples of kindness. The changing room was large and uncrowded. We felt so special in this particular boutique; what a relief that was...in comparison to this very unhappy earlier experience at Samila's.
Thank you for allowing me to express my story here. I'm a person that says it exactly how it is. Somehow we all go forth and learn from each other, and I think that we did. Above all, and in the end, fairness and kindness really do matter...
Excellent service and selection! – Excellent customer service and an incredible amount of dresses to choose from. Usually, we spend hours and hours looking for the perfect prom dress, but this year was so easy. The service was out of this world! I have not had service like this in well, I can't remember when. My daughter tried on about 15 dresses and easily had three that she loved. We were in and out of the store within one hour with the PERFECT dress. I would highly recommend this Boutique.
Huge selection, Helpful staff, Gorgeous dresses! – I was visiting the Seattle area and needed to find a dress for my company Christmas party and I couldn't find anything. I happened to be in a store in the mall and asked the girl working there if she knew anywhere else that I could find formal dresses. She told me about Samila Boutique in Redmond. After about a 15 minute drive from Bellevue, I found the boutique. Needless to say, I was overwhelmed when I walked in because I had never seen so many dresses in one place in my life.
I was promptly greeted and the woman assisted me with figuring out what size I was. Then she whisked me away to this section with dresses all in just my size...their were hundreds! After a few questions, she started pulling dresses to tailor to what I was looking for!
Their dresses are European sizes, typically I wear a size 4 in normal clothes but the dress I purchased was a size 6 and I even tried on a couple of size 8's. They had many variations of styles: sexy fitted with low back dresses, huge ball gown's (cinderella), flowy gowns and mermaid dresses!
I recommend this store to anyone that is looking for selection and customer service. Even if you don't know what you are looking for or even what style looks best, they will help you! You don't see this level of customer service anymore...simply amazing!

Gastric bypass surgery, the most common bariatric surgery in the United States, is the "gold standard" in weight-loss surgery. Patients typically lose 70 to 80 percent of their excess body weight.
Most gastric bypass surgeries are performed laparoscopically through several small incisions under general anesthesia. Surgery time is approximately two hours (times vary depending on the health of the patient and specifics of their procedure).
So what is gastric bypass surgery and how does it work? The procedure involves creating a small pouch, which reduces the stomach from the size of a cantaloupe to the size of an egg. Once the stomach has been reduced it is then attached to the middle of the small intestine, bypassing the section of the small intestine (duodenum), which limits the amount of calories and nutrients the body can absorb.
Ultimately, patients eat less because the stomach is smaller and they absorb fewer calories because food doesn't travel through the duodenum.
Patients must drastically alter their diet after gastric bypass surgery in order to achieve long-term weight-loss results. A common side effect from dietary non-compliance is dumping syndrome, which is the body's reaction to an intolerance of refined sugar. Dumping syndrome (rapid gastric emptying) is a condition that happens when undigested food empties into the small intestine too quickly. Symptoms can include nausea, cramping, diarrhea and/or vomiting. To learn more, visit the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIH). This side effect can give patients extra motivation to avoid such foods, further escalating weight-loss efforts.
Certain conditions can exclude a patient from being a candidate for gastric bypass surgery, including:

thanks for the answers, but u really have time to believe this. i think that they never had time for no-one that may be ghost answers .sorry but this is not the kind of reward for me as a fan, don't take engagements that u can't respect. i understand that u really love Maria, each one in his or her way, u don't know how much i like Maria She is a Godess for me but stil i'm not to thrilled about this situation, hope that u don't hate me all me respect for u all. i wish u all that one day you'll all meet Maria in person, you may not be imprresed about her that much. she's different than she looks on TV she's not that smiley. but wish you all to meet her in person, onest. bye an drespect to you all.
we know she's not the person on TV or oncourt , we don't know her ,
we know that she plays tennis and then we cheer for her and becomes fan ,
you shouldn't ever make a celebrity you don't know a Godess ,
and whatever her personality , she'll find friends . and also you should try to find a friends that you like not trying to find celebrities and very busy
people the way you like , cause most of them almost live in tension every day ,
I think she's kind of persons that's friendly with very close people to her ,
and most of Russians of that personality , unfortunatlly !
bye :)
you know, i'm not against tou're saying, but don't you think that is very easy for a celebrity to find friends. we all like to call us as being friends to a celebrity and laud ourselfs with that. i see u see me as an enemy and not as a fan of Maria's. u don't know how much i would do for this girl, not only as a tennis player but more as a person. and i wasn't expressing me thoughts on her as being a bad person just that she's not like on tv all celebrities are the same, friendly on the stage not always friendly off the stage. i realy didn't understoud that thing with the godess. please don't be mad on me all this started because i was dissapointed about the fact that i've recieved no answers from Maria not even a fake one from one of the admin of her site that's all. bye.
what I say is that she's a tennis player not an actress or singer ,

Breaking news, for the rest of the term I'm going to experiment with a new way of sharing our learning in R5! Instead of using our class blog to share our learning I am going to use our class twitter account!
I have been blogging in my class for the last 5 years and over that time our class blog has won numerous awards (Interface Blog of the Year, Edublog World Blog of the Year nominee). I have thoroughly enjoyed blogging but think it is now time for a change!
So from now on we are going to use our class twitter account, @PalmyKids, to share with the world! Our class twitter account is already very active as we use it to take part in Kidsedchatnz and connect with other classes around the globe.
I think by using our class twitter account we can share more easily and more often. It also means that the kids can be responsible for the sharing as well.
Basically we will be sharing the same stuff (photos, videos, learning, etc…) but on a different platform.
You don't need a twitter account to see what's happening all you need to do is click the picture below and read the timeline!
Let me know what you think, I'll be interested in your thoughts!

Week old 50GT50 Buzzing..!
Hi Peep's.
My 50GT50 is just over a week old. From the outset there has been a buzzing noise... Which goes after a few minutes. I have noticed on a bright screen it happens more often... The noise lasts maybe 5 min or less. Is there a problemo with my set..? Should i be returning this? apart from this issue if it is an issue...I have no other.
As usual, any replies/advice is much appreciated.
I presume we are talking abt plasma here. Its normal. I had LED before and when I moved to plasma I picked up on the buzzing from day 1 and I was so bothered. The brighter the image the louder the buzzing. Its more louder if yo TV is hanging on the wall and u will hear it more if u sit close to the corner. Give it time and it wont bother u anymore
Thanks for the response. Yip, Plasma. The noise isn't consistant, it goes after few min or so. But every so often it gets loud. I just dont want it to become a bigger issue down the line. Saying that, you have put my mind to ease.
A number of people here and elsewhere report buzzing from their plasma TVs, and a good number of people don't (most mentions of this usually seem to refer to Panasonic sets).
Mine is 9 months old and has never buzzed once. Put the sound on mute and you have to strain to hear even the gentle whirring of the fan, and if it was my TV then I would be looking to have it replaced. If you bought it in-store then I would ask for any replacement to be unboxed and set-up before you take it away to ensure that you haven't got second set with the same problem (this has happened to other people), and if you demoed before you bought it I bet I can guarantee that that one didn't buzz.
As many people know already I had this same issue with one of the GT30s I had and according to Panasonic the buzzing is only deemed a fault if when listening to the tv through the tvs speakers you can still hear it when the volume is set to 1/3rd of maximum, my GT30 was still buzzing at that volume and so it went back.
As a rule most plasmas will buzz to some extent but some are worse than others and as Sizzers points out most instances can attributed to Panasonic tvs, I was reliably informed by an engineer that it's the power that's the issue...I can't remember the specifics but I think I remember him saying something about the transformer and something else as the main causes.
If the buzzing is loud and it's distracting then get it replaced but if you were worried about it causing an issue further down the line then I don't think you need to worry as it's quite a common issue and doesn'y normally indicate an issue with the tv.
Thanks for the response guy's. The set isn't buzzing any longer....When it happens it only last's a few minutes, has confused me even more..Lol. It isnt loud so im thinking of just ignoring it. I have the option of repacing it as i bought it from JL. I just can't be asked to go throught he run in period all over again. once the run in period of 200 hours been done. is it then koolio to watch what ever i wish no matter how long? or do i still need to be watchful...mind the punt. can somebody also help with setting picture up...
I now seem to have developed a new problemo with my 50GT50. yesterday i had taken the wire running from the sat Dish to the TV..... Out. I then put it back in and all seemed normal. Until today. There seems to be an inch thick blurry line either side of the screen... It appears on some channels..Is this reception problemo, or TV fault...Please advise.
Sounds like a reception problem,have you checked the connections?
For picture calibration it realy is worth getting it done profesionaly as a calibration is tailered to your viewing enviroment.I have a guy in mind,he is THX registered and it will cost just£225...
Thanks for replying GSB. It's seems like it there even when im watching Blu-Ray Dvd. So im going to assume it isnt reception... This has really annoyed me, as i was hoping to enjoy the set during the Xmas break. Iv had it on 10 hours straight for the last week or so....ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For me to have a new set during the holiday, i will have to take set back myself to JL...Further hussel. Who do u have in mind..?

This might be the dirty screen effect that's afflicted 2012 Panasonic plasmas. As I've been contemplating buying one myself, I've read quite a few threads elsewhere on this issue. Some owners report that the problem takes a while to manifest, or was faintly visible when the TV was new, but became more prominent over time.
If you go into the software update screen, the dirty screen effect should be more visible, if that's what the problem is. A quick view of Match of the Day should also show this up during fast pans with solid blocks of colour (the green of the football pitch).
Have a look at these videos for comparative purposes:
Let us know how you get on.
If the shadowing is present even with dvd films i would get an enginneer to take a look to be honest,if it is a fault then there's no point in keeping the set.If there's no fault then at least you'll have piece oif mind.
Hi Guy's.
I have just spent the last hour and a half with my brother checking the Set. We went through all sources. With BR film's/Normal DVD'S,freesat and HD channels there isn't any issue. BUT, with normal terrestrial channels none HD channels the noisy blurry lines appear. is this an issue, or does it sound like a recption problem when it comes to none HD channels.
P.s. Im confused.
With BR film's/Normal DVD'S,freesat and HD channels there isn't any issue. BUT, with normal terrestrial channels none HD channels the noisy blurry lines appear. is this an issue, or does it sound like a recption problem when it comes to none HD channels.
So are you saying that with freesat SD it's fine, but with with "normal terrestial" it's fine? (I take normal terrestial to mean via Freeview).
Sorry I think I confused myself hence explaining wrong. I get that noisy/blurry faint line With freesat SD material only. Blu-ray/DVD/ hd channels on sky /freesat HD channels are all good.
Do you not have a rooftop aerial to compare it with Freeview? (or an indoor aerial depending upon reception|.
Seems a bit strange it's only occurring on SD channels though,and not HD, but there's obviously a reason. Seriously hope it's just a reception issue.
Nai haven't got a roof aerial. I'll purchase an indoor one tomorrow. Agreed, very strange. I'm naive when it comes to TVs, I was hoping one of you guys could have an answer..! Would you still replace the set..? I'm free of all other issues, don't want to get a new set that has different faults that could be considered worse..!
Thanks for the replies Siz
