Rated 5 out of 5 by bassmaster1214 Best square bill around
This lure works every time i use it. It bounces off of structure pretty good but is not invincible. The colors are amazing too. The colors that work best for me are baby bass, oxbow, and fire tiger. I really recommend trying these out.

Rated 5 out of 5 by OneFisher great bait
I typically carry about a dozen rods on my boat. I always have the Firetiger pattern Square A on one. I caught over 50% of my bass last year on that one bait. All conditions in water 12 ft or under, this is the one the bass hit.

This lure doesn't seem to catch fish for me. The wobble isn't amazing. I noticed that this lure isn't all bad, it looks fine, but I haven't caught a fish on this lure. Don't get me wrong, I know how to fish squarebills, I am a tournament bass fisherman and the KVD 1.5 just outfishes these everytime. Not thrilled with the colors with this lure either. Stick to the 1.5s.

I lost a favorite one of mine on a nice bass in a certain lake and haven't been back to use it. I bought this one, to replace that one, because of the color and shape. I'm hoping this will work like the one I lost..

I've had good luck with the baby bass colorA:
Depending on water color but usually cant go wrong with a chartuese color in most situations. Check your depths for preventing snags. Treble hooks like to snag up in brush.Else wise check bait fish in pond and match it up or even crawdad color works well with a slow roll

Baby Bass always works for meA:
I usually go by the color of the water. If its clear i'll go with something that looks more natural -green, brown, etc. If the water is murky, dark, i'll go with something brighter. Get a combination of those at a sale price and you can't fail.Top 250 Contributor
Depends on water clarity in the pond. Use natural colors in clear water, I like to use the bass color or one of the shads. In murky or dingy water use fire-tiger, chartreuse or one of the red craws.A:
white or pearl !Answers

Plastic...I'm not familiar with any Bomber lures made of balsa wood.Answers
Its more of an erratic wide wobble. Not a tight vibration if thats what you're asking.A:
It has a good vibrating action and built in rattles. I love the action and have had good luck with them under the right circumstances.A:
wide wobbleA:
I would say it's not as aggressive as a Fat Rap or Bandit 200 series, but close behind.A:
No its pretty suttle unless you work it, but its very effective little bass love them and big ones cant pass them up!A:

Does not have a lot of vibrationTop 10 Contributor
It has a very tight wiggle...avoids snags well since it doesn't roll over when it comes in contact with them like a pointed bill does.Top 100 Contributor
i would have to say yes to that!Details:
i want it to dive 4-6 ft. (preferrably)Answers
try a bomber square a on 8lb test, it should dive about 5-6ft.A:
I have used bomber square bill and strike king square bill there both are about the same ,except for price,bomber square bill wont break your wallet,A:
These dive from 1-3 feet. It will dive a little deeper if your speed is up and rod tip is low. These are great lures and the price is awesome. Strike King makes an excellent square bill too, but it costs twice as much. Your budget - your call.A:
I have used the strike king 1.5 and the xcalibur square bill, and I always come back to the bomber. The action is incredible thanks to the coffin shaped lip, and you don't have to choose between 30 colors, bomber keeps it simple and the colors work great. I prefer fire tiger and foxy momma.A:
Bomber square billed cranks are good and for the money... real good. However, I'd suggest strike kings KVD 1.5, and 2.5 cranks. Great colors, great action, very durable.A:
i like the new kvd 1.5A:
I use Strike King 1.5, Bomber Square A, and Xcalibur XCS100 regularly and successfully. I usually run them at 2-4 feet.Top 100 Contributor
Go with Luckycraft. RC 2.5A:
yes works great at duskTop 500 Contributor
Well, most of the square bill's don't that deep. My favorite square bill is the Bomber Square A (dives 0-3ft), it is a fish catching machine. When I reach for a square bill it is in shallow brushy areas where a 6ft max depth is not needed. The bandit 100 series dives 2-5ft, and its a great bait its just small and light.Top 100 Contributor
Bomber Square A's. can't beat the price and they perform VERY wellAnswers
A lot of this depends on your local baitfish and water color. I have had luck with the sexy shad, the threadfin, and the chromed sexy shad colored one.A:
I used color #52 and I love it for bass both smallmouth and largemouthA:
Just get a combination of natural colors and bright (neon) colors and you'll be set for any conditions!Top 100 Contributor
For clear water use a color that matches the bait fish in the area.For stained/muddy water use either a bright color like a chartruse or a dark color. I like a chartruse with some black on it
#24 in stained water a more realistic color pattern in clearer waterA:
My go to color is sexy shad.Top 100 Contributor
The best colors are probably crayfish or perch/firetigerTop 500 Contributor
all around baby bass works excelent, i wouldnt bypass brown craw either though.A:
There really is no one single color that is the best or more effective than the other. All colors can be affective if used in the right place at the right time.Water clairity and sky conditions are the main factors in color selection. As a general guide,smaller baits in natural colors like dark greens and browns, blacks and greys, silvers and golds, work best in clear water or on bright sunny days, and you fish them fast.
In stained or muddy water, or a cloudy overcast day, bigger baits in bright colors like chartruese, bright oranges and reds, fished slow, will usually work best.
Another thing to consider when chosing your color, is trying to "match the hatch" or pick a bait that will look like the main food source that is in the body of water you are fishing. If there is plenty of suspended forage, like shad or smelt, use a silver shad looking profile. If there are lots of crawdads in the water, use a reddish brown crawdad color and bounce it along the bottom. and if there are lots of frogs, use a green or brown color and swim it along the top.
But these are just guides.
Its always a good idea to keep plenty of colors and sizes in your tackle box as well. If you come to a new body of water, or are unsure of what color would be best, a good trick is to pick a color that matches the bottom of the lake or river, ect.
There really isn't a best color for bass. Bass eat anything. The color will depend on the weather, the lake or pond and what the fish like. I seem to have been luck with Green in one lake near my house and white at another. I also seem to have been luck with darker lures in the sunny weather and shinier lures in the cloudy weather.Answers
I wouldn't see any problem with using this lure in a river... Just be sure to reel in across the current, not with it, or against it. If you retrieve with the current, the lure moves pass the fish too fast. If you retrieve against the current, the fish will not want to work through the current to hit your bait.Hope this was helpful. Keep you lines tight!
Depends on conditions. I like these best in rocky areas or over submerged weed beds. You can't cast into really heavy cover without hanging up.A:
Yes. I fish only the tannic waters of North Landing River (otherwise known as Intercoastal Waterway) in Virginia, with only rare exception.Top 500 Contributor
yes try the brown craw colorA:
Sure. just becareful banging it off of stumps and rocks. the plastic lip breaks easyA:
I use mine in the river all the time , catches tons of Smallmouth.A:
it all depends. to fast of a river and it will not matter. but for our rivers here in michigan i would try something from storm like the rebel wee. they are much more durable and they come in better colors for small mouth.A:
I think it would be. I think that when the smallies are chasing shad these would be great.Top 100 Contributor
YES!!!! any waters actually. i fish 95% in rivers and these are the only lures i use when nothing else works. i have success every time!!!!Top 250 Contributor
Yes, I have used it many times on the mississippi up near lacross WI. Mostly fishing it near timber or when there busting on bait fish.Top 500 Contributor

Spring Breakers -Trailer
so much ice on the watch you would've thought time froze
New York magazine shows a behind-the-scenes look into the filming of Spring Breakers. Read the story + check out more photos
James Franco's thug-life "Spring Breakers" character, Alien, wasn't born out of thin air. In fact, he spent a lot of time with a real-life persona, Dangeruss, while making the Harmony Korine-directed film. Their friendship led to the music video for "Dope Boyz," which MTV News is exclusively premiering, along with an essay from director Franco and candid photos of Dangeruss. Franco didn't go about this project alone; he worked with film editors Andinh Ha and Pau Dalmases on the music video.

In a bid to improve quality the Government has taken its eyes off the money. Back in 2010 the health service was set the mission of improving productivity by £20 billion. As many leading independent voices and the Government itself recognised, achieving such savings would only be possible by fundamentally transforming how care is delivered and organised.
Anyone adverse to blogging and social media might be rather cynical about any initiative linked to improving frontline health and social care that has grown out of a blog post and numerous 140 character interactions between total strangers.
Professor David Haslam, chairman of the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE), says in an interview with the Daily Telegraph, that patients should be more pro-active about their health and 'pushier' with their GPs. How realistic is his view, and where does our responsibility towards ourselves as patients start and that of a medical professional end?
I have mixed feelings about National Obesity Week, which begins today. On one hand, it shines the spotlight on a serious issue that undoubtedly affects young people I work with - one in three youngsters leaving primary education is obese. On the other, it can also serve as a distraction.
Last year wasn't a great one for the NHS. In fact, it was often downright shocking. A barrage of bad news, from care scandals to A&E crises and much more besides, meant its reputation took a battering and left a whole host of issues to deal with in 2014 and beyond.
I started running when I was nine years old and have really never stopped. My running life has been amazing and has taken me to two Olympic Games and some of the world's top races. I'm also a busy Mum but running is still very much a part of my life. I know it's not like that for everyone. I meet many women who say running simply isn't for them. More often that not they'll say they don't have time, they are not built to run, they don't like running or they simply 'can't' run...
Some of us have a very delicate, sensitive and finely tuned internal radar that picks up signs of danger. Others are more or less constantly tuned to the 'attack and defense channel', always ready to expect the worse, tense, anxious, highly irritable and stressed. Probably for good reason.
Resolutions take determination, tenacity, strength and commitment. Too often we feel bad about ourselves or ashamed if we don't make it or delay a resolution. Whereas there is another way of looking at it.
The Friends and Family Test is helping the NHS become safer - steps have been taken at Hillingdon to make sure patients with Parkinson's' Disease get their medication on time, by using a simple alarm clock to remind staff when medicine needs to be taken. And Lewisham and Greenwich Hospitals NHS Trust has improved communication with patients by making sure every day each nurse introduces themselves to the patients they will be responsible for, and has a discussion about what the patient can expect to happen during the day. Those are just a few examples of positive change. There are many more.
Life isn't simple and things aren't generally black and white. The public sector is part of life and, as such, it's just the same. But even so, wouldn't it be nice if we could just simply focus on doing things for the right reasons?
In healthcare, I would describe innovation as anything that creates new opportunities for improvement or development. This has long been recognised in industry... But the truth is we are still a long way from providing the right conditions for innovation to thrive and permeate across the NHS.
My work generally involved helping run workshops and sitting in on one-to-one counselling sessions for pupils who had either been referred by a teacher or who just wanted to drop in and chat. I was really surprised at the range of issues and problems that can affect younger children.
Another significant barrier to being more inclusive comes from the lack of capacity in the system, with NICE Deputy Chief Executive and Health and Social Care Director, Professor Gillian Leng admitting at the recent Westminster Social Policy Forum that they are hugely over-subscribed with would-be 'Experts by Experience' who are interested in working with them.
The north-south divide is a powerful trope within popular English culture and it's also evident within the country's health. A recent report by Public Health England showed that between 2009 and 2011, people in Manchester were more than twice as likely to die early (455 deaths per 100,000) compared to people living in Wokingham (200 deaths per 100,000)...
My view is being able to access EHC discreetly and conveniently online is a good thing, so long as it is provided by reputable providers who are registered with the Care Quality Commission. What concerns me is that some people are accessing medication from sources that may not have suitable checks in place.
Three quarters of people would be annoyed if they had difficulty walking, getting dressed, or doing basic household tasks like cooking, cleaning or washing dishes. Two thirds would be annoyed if they could not open containers. And more people would be frustrated if they had difficulty making a cup of tea versus having sex.

You can't miss Greg Gregory. Not in his Scottish kilt. Not in his wool hose stockings and towering feather bonnet.
Dressed in 20 pounds of Scottish regalia, the retired United States Navy commander and former health-care administrator has stage presence, and though he's never measured himself dressed as a drum major, Gregory, 70, figures he's about 7 feet tall with a feather plume strapped to his head.
His voice is as low and as full as a tuba. It echoes like a sonic boom whenever he bellows, which is often.
As drum major of the Jacobites Pipe & Drum Band, one of Gregory's primary responsibilities is to bark the name of each song at the start of a performance and to keep the band marching in line and in tempo.
"Drum major seemed like a good fit," Gregory says. "I'm big, rotund and have a deep voice."
He leans back in his chair, folds his hands behind his head and laughs.
"And," he adds, "I could afford the regalia."
Away from the blare of bagpipes, Gregory is subdued. He's seated beside the pool at his eastern Sarasota County home, dressed in cargo shorts and sandals, out of uniform and at ease. A water fountain trickles in the background, and an obedient springer spaniel shuffles from the kitchen to the pool, hoping to get a dog biscuit.
Recently appointed the executive director of the popular Scottish marching band, Gregory jokes about how he tried and failed to learn the pipes several years ago.
"I quickly concluded playing pipes wasn't my strong suit," Gregory says. "I lacked talent and discipline."
Anyone who knows Gregory knows he doesn't lack discipline. It was one of the reasons why Gary Reinstrom, The Jacobites' co-founder and artistic director, asked him to be executive director.
"Greg brings a whole lot of spit and polish to the operation," Reinstrom says. "As much as I like to say this is the way we're going to do something, Greg puts an exclamation mark on the end of it and everyone falls right in line."
He is earnest and straightforward, the stoic face of the Jacobites. When he's marching, he's as stern as a British soldier standing guard at Buckingham Palace, but, among friends, he is jovial, laidback and lighthearted.
He and his wife, Ilene, daughter of Sarasota philanthropist Beatrice Friedman, are preparing for their first trip to Scotland — a two-week cruise that will take them to Edinburgh, and Glasgow, and will pass through the British Isles, Amsterdam and Ireland.
Gregory is hoping to scope out venues for the Jacobites. The band is making long-term plans for the first time since its inception nearly seven years ago, and Gregory, who is part Irish and part Scottish, would love to take the band to Europe in the next few years.
Reinstrom, a professional French horn player and the former pipe instructor for the Riverview High School Kiltie Band, founded the Jacobites in 2002 with friend Larry Jacobs, a Sarasota attorney with Glaswegian roots.
In 2002, the men led Bradenton's first Patriot's Day parade on the first anniversary of Sept. 11. Since then, the band has grown from seven pipers and five drummers to 70 pipers, drummers, guitar players, singers and dancers.
"Greg has really taken the weight off Larry and me, to the point where we're already thinking about next season," Reinstrom says. "There's synergy and structure."
Both Reinstrom and Jacobs work fulltime jobs — Reinstrom owns and operates a pool business and Jacobs has a law firm. The men needed someone to organize events, court new talent and market concerts.
Gregory was a shoe-in.
A Minnesota native, Gregory grew up singing in his church choir and, later, the Navy's Blue Jacket Choir.
When he and his wife moved to Sarasota five years ago, the thunderous tenor was itching to sing again. He joined the Jacobite chorus in 2004, after watching the band rock the sleepy Glenridge Performing Arts Center, in Palmer Ranch.
After the concert, he walked up to Reinstrom and asked him how he could get involved, and Reinstrom replied, "Show up to practice with a pulse."
Within a month he had assumed the role of drum major and was soon leading the band in Tartan festivals, St. Patrick's Day parades and on the stage at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall.
Up until joining the Jacobites, he had never even seen a drum major.
Reinstrom credits Gregory with the success of last month's Memorial Day concert at Church of the Palms. In an effort to draw a bigger crowd to this year's performance, Gregory asked 11-year-old, crowd-pleaser Maria Wirries, winner of The Players' 2008 Talent Explosion, to open and close the show.
"We've got 50 people who perform with us," Reinstrom says. "We've got shining stars and quiet ladies, children and 70-year-old men. We've got people with huge egos and people with small egos, and Greg just works with them all. He has a comforting effect on people."
From the pipeline
Greg Gregory on …
Wearing a feather bonnet: "My biggest problem is remembering to duck my head."
His uniform: "It's all wool and a killer to wear on summer days."
His mother-in-law's birthday: "The first time we asked the Jacobites to perform at Beatrice's birthday party, I disappeared into the garage, changed into my uniform and came out with pipers singing 'Scotland The Brave.' The band has become a fixture at her birthday parties."
His voice: "I can fill the Van Wezel without a microphone."
The three D's: "A drum major has three major responsibilities: drill, dress and decorum."
The drum major who got suspended for winking during the presidential Inaugural parade: "I think it was an overreaction, but at the same time he should have stayed in character. I wouldn't have done it."

This brown 250ml bottle was 3 months out of date when reviewed.
Poured into a 'Forbidden Fruit' chalice. Cloudy and dirty lemon/grapefruit in colour with a very impressive white head, it looked great to be honest.
The aroma was obviously apples mostly, some cerels in the smell too, plus something very sweet. This isn't an apple beer that smells like a cider, far too sweet.
The sweet apple aroma carries on into the tatse, a bit too sweet for me, but I can see females and those with a sweeter tooth than me enjoying this beer.
30% Apple juice according to the label, I think it is just added to the breweries regular wheat beer.
I have certainly had worse fruit beers from Belgium and I wasn't expecting much from this. I was pleasantly suprised.

Purchased at the Tesco supermarket. BB 16/08/08, served chilled in a goblet.
A: pours a cloudy fresh-lemonade colour, coming with a fluffy white head and noisily hissing, lively carbonation.
S: apple juice, dustiness, witbier base... The rather sweet side of apple juice abounds, almost to the point of being overwhelming. Very simplistic overall.
T: Yakult-like lactose yeasty flavour stays beneath the heavily apple-juice-infused witbier base, a tad lemony as well but tasting 95% sour-sweet concentrated apple juice. To my surprise the ending touch is pretty clean, yet at the expense of the preferable bitter edge of a good witbier.
M&D: refreshingly fizzy, light-bodied, slightly overpowered by apple juice overall. I won't buy it again, but this is by no means a bad drink.

M - Full carbonation and low to medium body.
O - I quite enjoyed this beer, because the apple was not overpowering and nicely balanced.

Had this on tap at the Lucky Baldwins 10th Annual Belgian fest on 2/15/09.
Pours yellowish white and very hazy. Short white head that lasts a while and laces the glass well.
Aromas are: sweet, green apple, candy, yeast.
Flavors are: sweet, tart, green apple, brett, bread, and green jolly rancher.
Medium thin body, medium/high CO2. I'm almost embarassed to admit it but its really drinkable and enjoyable.
Serving type: on-tap

250ml bottle, served chilled in a Dolle witte glass
Pours with a cloudy lemony body. Thick bubbly white head with good retention, lots and lots of patchy lacing
Smell, fresh flowers and freshly grown garden herbs. A touch of clove and banana, some almonds and perfume. Slightly choking dry sweetness, zesty lemons, sherbet and purple violets
Taste, initially an odd fizzy very very sweet sherbet character, lots of added sugar flavours, some slight apple character but very slight. Slightly chalky belgian yeast on the finish along with some sticky cloying sweetness. Some sour character also
Oh no no, a pretty big miss on my part. This is like wheaty and yeasty lemonade... sickly sweet and not enough alcohol to really bring through the wit character

An extremely fruity fruit syrup, a touch of wheat is felt to be savored and gives the mouth a little touch milk is not unpleasant to think about milk & fruit. The course is very fruity and very sweet beer, but the body is not too syrupy. A fruity beer for less demanding throats.

Poured from the bottle into a Leffe chalice.
a: Very milky white when pouring, settles in the glass as a turbid bronze apple juice colour. Does not really look like any sort of beer. No visible carb and no head retention, despite vigorous bubbling upon pouring.
s: faint cidery aroma, musty, perhaps a hint of wheat. Complex but perhaps too appley for a beer ie. the apple is prevalent above all else.
t: Sweet woody apple taste, leading up to a surprisingly dry finish considering the low alcohol. Although the apple tartness comes through at the end too.
m: The high point for this beer. This really impresses upon the mouth. Spritzy and light at first, then a lingering full bodied finish
d: Eminently drinkable due to the pleasant taste and low ABV. Not something I would spend money on again. This is just too much like cider for me to appreciate as a beer. The delicate wheat is somewhat overpowered.

WE HAVE GONE DOWN HILL Sep 24, 2012 4:24PM Sep 29, 2012 9:38PM Well...I have to agree....all the "real stars" are sadly gone, or working in the director's chair. All we have left are whatever the hell a "snooky" is, something called a "honey Boo-boo"? or something like that, and all the super teens with white teeth, big smiles, perfect hair.....and no "real" talent. Hollywood....you have lost it.....shame on you! Sep 11, 2012 4:41PM I watched this show with some curiosity for awhile last night; simply because the wife was watching it. One cannot honestly say that there was anything normal about the characters portrayed in that show. Perhaps I am an anachronism, but I must conclude that if NBC wants to convince people that these weirdos are normal, there must be some quite odd people at NBC..

The beer poured into the chalice clear medium amber with a fleeting tannish low head which retreated in an flash to leave but wisps at the surface of the beer.
The aroma was strongly deep dark fruits and dark caramel. The dark fruits were raisins and prunes and dried cherries. The aroma contained a light bit of biscuit character and a strong toasty presence. Some alcohol presence led to a phenolic spice character of cinnamon and light pepper.
The flavor was dark caramel and dark fruits as in the aroma, but with a strong presence of alcohol. The flavor was toasty and biscuity coupled to the dark fruits of raisins and prunes. The spice flavors were peppery and more of the cinnamon noted in the aroma. The alcohol was too strong in the flavor and caused what would have been a nice complexity of flavors to be overshadowed.
The finish was dry with lasting dark fruits, cinnamon and alcohol into the aftertaste. The body was medium full with a fairly low carbonation level. The alcohol presence killed the head and also was overly strong in the flavor. The warming after consumption was very high and lowered the drinkability of the beer.
750 ml corked and bailed bottle.

750 ml bottle into chalice; no bottle dating and unknown cork coding. Pours moderately cloudy dark reddish brown color with a 1 finger dense khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big raisin, apple, pear, plum, molasses, toast, dark candi sugar, brown bread, light chocolate, clove, herbal, and yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of malt and fruity/spicy yeast notes; with good strength. Taste of raisin, apple, plum, pear, molasses, toast, dark candi sugar, brown bread, light chocolate, clove, light pepper, herbal, and yeast earthiness. Lingering notes of dark and light fruits, molasses, toast, dark candi sugar, brown bread, light chocolate, clove, pepper, herbal, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice balance and complexity of malt and fruity/spicy yeast ester flavors; with a good malt/spiciness balance and zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a slick and slightly syrupy mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a small warming present after the finish. Overall this is an excellent quadrupel style. All around great balance and complexity of dark malt and fruity/spicy yeast flavors; and quite smooth to sip on for the big ABV. A very enjoyable offering.

A little perplexed by the lack of carbonation. Intentional or cork problem? I ventured ahead anyway.
Minimal head with small amount of carbonation present.
Dark brown in color.
Fruity but on the sour side.
Smooth in the mouth but agree more carbonation would improve overall.
FWIW, I had no point of reference for this beer and therefore low expectations but was pleasantly surprised.

S: Served in a chalice from a 750ml bottle.
A: No foam, no lacing, no carbonation. The beer itself was dark brown in color.
S: Very boozey, chocolatey, and fruity.
T: Overwhelmingly alcoholic, which would have been fine if it has some sort of carbonation. Tasted like a thinned out chocolate with darker fruits infused.
M: Flat, a bit off - reminded me of a liquid candy bar.
O: I was really excited to try this, but it was certainly a letdown.
I was told by two people at the shop where it was bought that it was a good beer. When it was opened, I was already disappointed. No typical pop when opened - we then knew SOMETHING had to be wrong. I'm just thankful that my boyfriend doesn't mind flat beers...

I likes me some quads and this one is a pretty good one. Some red wine tannins, some burnt sugar, some boozy cake. Something in this reminds me of marshmallow and bubblegum but only slightly. Mostly it's rich, dark ale goodness all around. I'll be happy to sit with beer for awhile and enjoy my evening.

Well shit looking at the latest reviews this beer is kind of crap. Ow well I at least only paid like 5 bucks for a 10% Quad bomber.
A - The cork is quite strange like made of some kind of rubber or plastic. Could this be what caused the off flavors and low carbonation people are reporting? Opening the bottle I get a very lively full inch of mocha colored head, fizzy from ABV but still sticks around for a bit. Beer itself is a very deep chestnut brown almost pitch black like a stout.
S - Strong alcoholic esters with some sugary malt and very little actual fruit. The booze is strong in this one.
T - Has a very weird herbal woody flavor that seems to be a mix of oak and stone fruit. Next the fruity yeast kicks in giving a sweet malt flavor and then mild sherry kind of boozy taste. Finish has a touch of hop bit and a warming character.
M - Medium to heavy, rather syrup like ABV shines in taste which is kind of offputting.
Overall a very boozy quad that has rather weird flavors than your typical fruity/low ABV lasting counterparts (ST Bearnard 12) Worth getting if you like boozy Belgium's.

look: 2.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 1.5 | overall: 2
Let's start with the most obvious issue here. This beer is flat. Dead flat. Like a 2 liter of soda flat, that's been opened numerous times and stuck in the back of the fridge for you to unfortunately come across when your totally craving a fizzy thirst quenching beverage.
Anyway, it's hard to review something that's so off from the start. I love Belgian beers, and I was really hoping for something special here (it even says Brewers Reserve on the bottle), but it was not to be. Immediately after pulling out the cork you could tell something was off. No pressure. No champagne bottle pop. Actually, no pop whatsoever. Barely even a hiss. OK... but there were subtle bubbles forming after the pour, so initially thought, "OK, well at least we have some life here." Kinda wrong there. No life, just dead beer (and it had so much potential).
The beer actually smells great, and leads you on to thinking this may still actually be amazing. The aroma reminds of a nice Barley Wine with a strong fruit character, but that's where the promise ends. The flavor (while initially hopeful) is actually quite disappointing. It's brevity is unmatched (not a good thing). Since it lacks any carbonation, the flavor lasts for a nanosecond, followed by burning, which if you're drinking a nice whiskey is great, but not here. Not at all.
It's actually quite amazing that I've even devoted this much to review this beer. Probably cause there was so much anticipation of greatness, followed by unprecedented weakness. Maybe it's the plastic "cork" they used here. Maybe if they used a real cork the beer could have actually developed and kept (or begun to develop) it's carbonation. Cause underneath the overwhelming lack of carbonation there is an exceptional beer lurking, but unfortunately it's just not here.

The Corruption
Comments782this wiki
The Corruption has a 50% chance of generating or being replaced by The Crimson with (generally up to three) random locations.
The Corruption is recognizable by its background with violet mountains, dead trees, purple grass and darker lighting than other biomes, and is the only biome in which one can find Chasms, Ebonstone, Shadow Orbs and Vile Mushrooms and music change.
Initially, the Corruption can spread to regular grass from corrupted grass so long as the blocks are adjacent. Corrupted grass will also occasionally produce thorns that deal 10 damage and grow indefinitely so long as they are within four blocks of another block.
The monsters found in this biome at any time of day are relatively strong, and are thus a good reason to avoid the Corruption at the beginning of the game.
Monsters found in The Corruption:
- Eater of Souls
- Little Eater (Replaced by different sizes and stats of the Eater of Souls in 1.2)
- Big Eater (Replaced by different sizes and stats of the Eater of Souls in 1.2)
- Devourer
- Corrupt Goldfish
- Corrupt Bunny
- Eater of Worlds (Boss Monster)
- Corrupter (Hard Mode)
- World Feeder (Hard Mode)
- Slimer (Hard Mode)
- Corrupt Slime (Hard Mode)
Hard Mode Changes
After the Wall of Flesh is defeated in a World, the Corruption begins to spread at twice the normal speed, gains the ability to spread over sand and stone as well as turning mud into corrupted grass, and it becomes able to spread across gaps of "incorruptible" material up to two blocks long. Finally, all monsters slain in the Underground Corruption will have a chance of dropping a Soul of Night.
Corruption Prevention
The best and cheapest way is simply by digging a horizontal hole, size: 6 wide, 3 deep and filling with any non-biome affectable blocks that cannot be bypassed/corruped (or hallowed). Examples of blocks: Dungeon bricks, ores, bricks, clay (maybe), blocks that are aqquired trough crafting (most of them). THis method works on ALL biomes and only takes 18 blocks per hole. Best block: bricks. Sunflower method is outdated/innefective/broken.
Another way is to cure the Corruption before defeating the Wall of Flesh, eliminating the preventatives needed to protect your base. However this is a rather hard alternative as, although it has the best results, it is time- and money-wasting, for little or no profit. Also, as the Hardmode spawns more Corruption, the original biome is not as worth clearing.
Another method is to spread the Hallow on the both sides of your house, as neither the Corruption nor the Hallow can spread across the other. I am not sure how this is better, since gastropods and others will annoy as much as the Corruption monsters.
A quick (depends on size) but expensive way to clear the Corruption is by simply blowing it up (with any kind of explosive save Grenades). However, this is very expensive and will leave a very big hole. Not recommended.
Another (potentially expensive) way to clear the Corruption is to use the Clentaminator to convert corrupted blocks to normal dirt and stone or Hallowed dirt and stone. The Clentaminator uses various colored solutions as ammo, all of which need to be purchased and cannot be crafted. Clentaminate everything, since biomes DO spread, but sometimes you WILL need that biome (for boss battle, vile farm, etc).
Nessecary to read: Take note that Corruption and Hallow can not spread through clay,bricks,silt,and ash so you can use those materials to your advantage like making a barrier around your base. Read Method No.1 !!!
Artificial Corruption
An artificial Corruption can be created by planting Corrupt Seeds in dirt, and/or by adding around 250 blocks of Ebonstone. This will spawn all monsters from the Corruption, and can be used as a place to summon the Eater of Worlds. Placing any Artificial Corruption close to your home is dangerous as Devourers will spawn and attack you.
Items/Monsters that Spread Corruption
Hard Mode
- The player can remove corrupt areas by using Purification Powder or turn them into Hallowed areas with Holy Water.
- The Clentaminator can be used (with purchased solutions) to change blocks into the normal pure forest, the Hallow, the Crimson, or the Corruption.
- If the Dryad is in the world, talking to her and clicking Status will result in her telling what percentage of the world is Corrupt and Hallowed.
- If the thorns touch non-corrupt dirt or trees, they will become corrupt, and further spread The Corruption.
- The Corruption or Artificial Corruption must be used as the place to fight the Eater of Worlds.
- Where The Corruption meets another biome its possible for monsters from both biomes to spawn.
- The Corruption at night is quite dark, therefore remember to bring some form of light.
- The Corruption cannot spread to snow blocks; therefore the Corruption cannot spread through snow biomes.
- The Hallow is thought to be the opposite of The Corruption. And equally/more annoying.
- Wood is a cheap but effective material for containing the Corruption or the Hallow. Better use bricks, though. Read the Corruption Preventation section.
- The Corruption contains lots of holes and caves.
In version 22.214.171.124:
- The spread of the Corruption (plus the Crimson and the Hallow) is slowed after Plantera is defeated in Hard Mode.
In version 1.2, several things changed:
- Corruptor's vile spit no longer spreads corruption
- The Corruption can sometimes be replaced by The Crimson on world creation. It's unknown whether the rules for the spread of the Crimson are the same as the rules for the spread of the Corruption.
- The Corruption can spread to the Snow Biome by changing Ice Blocks to Purple Ice Blocks.
- The Clentaminator was added. It allows you to spread the purity (Normal 'Forest' biome), the corruption, the hallow, and the crimson.

Home and Community Based Waiver Programs:
Individuals with Developmental Disabilities or Developmental Delay
This Utah Medicaid Waiver program assists severely disabled people of any age to remain in their own homes, rather than being placed in an institution. There is a limit on the number of people allowed into the waiver program. Applications are taken through the Department of Workforce Services case managers (Division of Services for People with Disabilities). None of the parent's income or assets are counted in considering eligibility for a minor child. Also, an intensive service plan is written for the client, and all services are paid by Medicaid. To be eligible for this program, clients must have been disabled before age twenty-two.
The income limit, after allowable deductions, is 100% of the Federal Poverty Level, which is typically adjusted annually. All of the client's income counts. The Federal Poverty Level is available on the Internet at http://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty
Income Eligibility Standards in Monthly Amounts (April 2005)
Household Size *Monthly Income
1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 798
Deduct $500 from earned income, spousal and family allowance, health and accident insurance premiums, medical expenses, and some shelter costs.
Medicaid applicants whose income exceeds the monthly income standard may be considered for the Medically Needy program, sometimes referred to as the Spenddown Program. This program allows a person who is otherwise eligible either to pay "excess" monthly income to the state or to accept responsibility for a portion of their monthly medical bills.
Asset Limits
Nursing home client - $2,000
For married persons with a spouse in the home, assets are divided between husband and wife. All assets are considered to be jointly owned even if only one member of the couple is shown as the owner. Special allowances for burial spaces and funeral plans. As of January 2003, the spouse at home is allowed to keep at least $18,132 of the assets the couple owned when the client entered the nursing home, and no more than $90,660. Current limits can be found at the web site for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services: http://cms.hhs.gov/medicaid/eligibility/
Transfer of Assets
Sanctions apply if either (1) individual or spouse transfers assets within 36 months, or within 60 months if a trust, of application date for Medicaid, or (2) the individual transfers assets at any time after eligibility is determined. Waiver services are not paid during a sanction period
Retroactive Coverage
Medicaid eligibility for any of the three months prior to the month of application. Most Medicaid programs allow an applicant to request coverage for medical services for up to three months prior to the month in which the person filed a Medicaid application. A person who received medical, dental or mental health services and subsequently qualifies for Medicaid may return to each provider with a Medicaid Identification Card for the month in which service was provided. A provider who has already rendered services may subsequently choose to accept Medicaid as payment in full or refuse to seek Medicaid payment because the patient had not been determined eligible for Medicaid at the time of service. If the provider accepts Medicaid, Medicaid may pay for the service. If the provider refuses Medicaid, the patient is responsible for the charges.

The West Chester Fire Department is celebrating its 50th anniversary with the slogan, "remembering our past, committed to our future," and with open houses for residents at four of the community fire stations throughout the year.
The first open house will take place this Saturday:
- Fire Station 72 on John Road – 1 to 3 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 17
- Fire Station 74 on Beckett Road – 1 to 3 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 21
- Fire Station 75 on Tyler's Place – 1 to 3 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 12
- Fire Station 71 on Cincinnati-Dayton Road – 1-3 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 16
In June 1963, the Union Township Board of Trustees (now West Chester) ordered the first 50 badges and purchased a Sutphen fire truck for $8,000 marking the start of what has become the West Chester Township Fire Department.
On July 28, 1963, ground was broken on the community's first fire station on the same site of today's Fire Station 71 and Fire Department headquarters. The first fire station, dedicated on Dec. 15, 1963, cost $6,000 to build and offered two bays. The community's one fire engine had previously been kept in a barn at the Rosselot family farm on Cincinnati-Dayton Road.

U Zlaté Studne hotel, Prague: review
U Zlaté Studné 4, Prague 1Show on map
The U Zlaté Studne, in Prague, is a luxury hotel offering the feel of a royal retreat and magnificent views from its top-floor restaurant.
Expert Rating
Price From
Will Tizard has resided in Prague since 1994. He was the managing editor of the Prague Post and also ran the Time Out Prague Guide. He has also contributed to Frommer's, National Geographic guides, Conde Nast Traveler, Olive and Global Post.
Who goes?
Demanding business travellers, honeymooners, antiquarians and lovers of characterful crashes.
The Malá Strana district address in the shadow of Prague Castle takes bit of scouting to track down - but is well worth the effort. Walking straight uphill from the Czech Parliament building on Valdštejnská street, you follow a cobbled lane to the right to discover the ornate entrance that looks like something straight out of Amadeus.
The Golden Well hotel, as its name derives from the translation of U Zlaté Studné, still features the aforementioned waterhole, along with wood-panelled interiors, deco settees, and traces of the building's storied past as the home of court astronomer Tycho Brahe.
Prompt, willing and well schooled in the needs of demanding westerners, the young but capable employees here know how to make things happen. The hotel's DVD library, clubby lounge and aromatic oil baths on request seem almost expected.
The feel of a royal retreat runs throughout these cozy, yet classic 17 guest rooms laid out in a labyrinth that ascends the Hradčany hill. Architecture and character trump consistency in room size and shape, but touches such as Renaissance-style clay wall sections, in-room iPods and Jacuzzi baths blend remarkably well with the historic setting.
Food & drink
The hotel's top-floor restaurant, a destination itself for its magnificent views of the pantiled roofs and its delicate treatment of seafood and Bohemian game dishes, attracts Prague's elite. In winter months, this single, elegant room draws fussy foodies but its summer terrace is arguably worth planning a Prague trip around.
Value for money
As with most Prague hotels, now more than ever. Deals abound and vacancies put you in a buyer's market.

Words, as is well known, are the great foes of reality.
This quote is about words
Search on Google Books to find citations of this quotation.
Joseph Conrad (December 3, 1857 August 3, 1924) was a Polish-born British novelist. Some of his works have been labelled romantic, although Conrad's romanticism is tempered with irony and a fine sense of man's capacity for self-deception. Many critics have placed him as a forerunner of modernism. His most famous work is in fact that of "Heart of Darkness," which is a fine piece of literature still studied today in most modern senior high schools.

Haha, nice one zmikers. It looks like you won. I just got back from Yosemite this afternoon. This is the latest that Tioga Pass has ever been open. The result is frozen lakes and minimal snow. I live in a place where it's news when the temperature even gets near freezing so it was pretty fantastic to see in person. We had to do some hiking to get to a scenic lake that wasn't all cut up by ice skaters. Here is one of my keepers... Lower Cathedral Lake by Lukas W, on Flickr
What a fantastic contrast in colours....the Blue of the Ice, and the Orange of the Mountain.
zmikers.....this is something you would appreciate that one of the Members did a few years back. http://www.dcresource.com/forums/sho...ighlight=poker The Hi-Res version is worth looking at.

^^ 24Peter always had great stuff to post. If I recall correctly he was mostly into video. Wonder what he is up to now?
The respect of those you respect is greater than the applause of the multitude.

So here it is, things I learned at Spring Fling:
1. The white "lip" on each bluebonnet flower is to attract bees to pollinate the flower. Once it is pollinated, the white spot turns red and bees are not attracted to it any longer.
2. The Cochineal Beetle feeds on the Prickly pear cactus, secreting a white substance as protection around her. These beetles, when crushed, contain a vivid red coloring used as dye.
3. The bloom on the Prickly Pear is called the "Tuna"
4. There are other trees known as Live Oaks that are not related to the Texas Live Oak (thanks Karen!) According to Wikipedia, the name comes from the evergreen oaks remaining green and "live" through the winter when other oaks are leafless. Added bonus knowledge: a small grove of live oaks is known as a mott.
5. Skullcap (Leguminosae Scutellaris) comes in purple (the common color seen in most nurseries is pink).
7. The inventories of sacred places and childhood hiding places are similar - thank you Tom Spencer for this lovely thought that kept me pondering over it for 5 minutes and just makes me smile every time I think about it.
8. Blog about what pleases you- keeping your focus on why you blog sets you free to enjoy it to its fullest. Thank you to Carol's discussion group on Community in Blogging who reminded me of this.
9. You can know someone for only a few minutes before you know, you just know, that they will be a lifelong friend.
10. Bringing together so many creative and passionate gardeners can create an energy that you can carry away with you. Borrowing one of Tom Spencer's images, we are gathered stones.
Thank you to all who gathered together for this wonderful event. I will always carry it with me.
