Two-part event recognizes commitment to community, the significance of the past and pledge to the future
May 12, 2014- Yuma, AZ- On Saturday, May 17, 2014, Yuma Regional Medical Center (YRMC) will host a two-part event to honor the history of Parkview Hospital and celebrate the future of YRMC, the new Emergency Department and the hospital's unwavering commitment to the Yuma community.
Beginning at 6 p.m., community leaders, YRMC executives, physicians, staff and board members will gather at the site of the original Parkview Hospital for a ceremony to commemorate the hospital's original structure, pay homage to the history within its walls and remember the physicians and caregivers who have dedicated countless hours to our patients, families and the community since Parkview's founding in 1958. Just as the program honors the past, it will celebrate YRMC's future and the groundbreaking of its state-of-the-art, expanded Emergency Department.
"Many of our community members have seen the recent transformations to YRMC's campus, but it is important for us to remember that our hospital has been evolving since its inception in 1958," said Pat Walz, President & CEO of YRMC. "Our growth and future was made possible by the physicians, staff and community leaders that came before us and their commitment to bring superior healthcare to the Yuma community. On this day we thank them, remember them and make a promise to continue that vision for years to come."
Following the intimate ceremony at 6 p.m., the community is invited to join YRMC in continuing the celebration with an outdoor 3D screening of the Disney Pixar movie "UP," a film with an underlying theme of adventure, future and resiliency. Gates open at 6:30 p.m. so guests can claim their spots in open lawn seating, enjoy concessions and family activities. Attendees are encouraged to bring chairs and blankets and can park in the YRMC Employee Garage located on Avenue A. The movie will begin at promptly 7:45 p.m. Guests must reserve their tickets in advance by visiting www.yumaregional.org.
"Just as we will be saying good-bye to our original Parkview building, we will be rejoicing in the future of our new, state-of-the-art Emergency Department," said Machele Headington, Vice President of Communication & Marketing for YRMC. "I cannot think of a better way to celebrate than with our community, families and friends - the people and patients we have in mind when making every decision regarding the future of YRMC."
Yuma Regional Medical Center is a 406-bed, not-for-profit hospital dedicated to providing outstanding medical care to the residents of Yuma and the surrounding communities in southwestern Arizona. The YRMC team includes over 2,000 employees, 300 doctors and hundreds of volunteers who work closely together to create a welcoming, caring, and compassionate environment for patients and their families.

A Canon EOS 4K SLR is on the way. We just learned about the $20,000 Canon EOS C300 Digital Cinema Camera due out in January. Canon has also released some details about a video-oriented SLR, and we're drooling.
The Canon EOS 4K SLR is just a concept now, but it's pretty exciting. We do know that it'll have a full frame CMOS sensor, and that it'll record 4K video at 24 fps, but that's about it. No word on pricing or availability, but Canon is definitely targeting the professional production set with the concept camera. [Canon]

According To Plan
Games like the one the Royals played on Tuesday are fantastic. It's a recipe for a great evening.
— They spotted Vin Mazzaro four runs before he ever took the mound. Wait… The Royals had a "big inning?" An inning where they scored more than one run and didn't bunt? This is the Royals?
Adding to the confusion was leadoff man Jerrod Dyson clubbing the ball over the head of the right fielder for a leadoff double. What's up with that? Joey Gathright never hit one off the wall.
Given the opportunity to play everyday, Dyson has exceeded expectations. That's likely an understatement. On Tuesday, he reached base three times and saw a team high 24 pitches in five plate appearances. That is exactly the kind of stuff you want to see from your leadoff hitter. Oh, and all three times he reached… He scored.
Dyson is now hitting .304/.383/.362 in 81 plate appearances. He's scored 17 runs in 18 games. And get this… Dyson is scoring 55% of the time he reaches base. No player in baseball with more than 80 plate appearances has scored as frequently as Dyson.
I know we're still at least a month away from Lorenzo Cain returning from his hip flexor injury, but man… If Dyson can somehow keep this going, there's no way Cain gets back into the lineup.
— I suppose lost in the "Eric Hosmer batting second" hubbub is that if Jerrod Dyson reaches base in the first inning, we can pretty much forget about Hosmer bunting him over. Although he did execute the swinging bunt in the first on the tapper back to Lewis. I guess what happened is an example of how speed affects the game, as Lewis looked Dyson back to second, then turned to first and lofted a flat footed throw over the head of Moreland.
— Hosmer then executed a boneheaded baserunning play when he broke for third on a ground ball in front of him. You don't go for third in that situation… You just don't.
More Royals running into outs.
— After a Jeff Francoeur double and Mike Moustakas was hit by a pitch to load the bases, Brayan Pena saw a meatball from Lewis and laced it into right for a two-run single. Does Pena love hitting in Arlington, or what?
— Finally, a nice job by Chris Getz to line the Lewis curve into center for the Royals final out of the inning. A slow, looping curve that didn't exactly hang, but it was still in the "happy zone" when Getz drove it to center to bring home the Royals final run of the inning.
It also helps that the Royals were able to keep the pressure on, adding single runs in each of the next two innings. Again it was that leadoff man, Dyson, setting the table with a more Dysonesque base hit than in the first. The error on the pickoff allows him to advance to second, although I was surprised he didn't go for third. Probably the right call since there weren't any outs in the inning.
Then a nice piece of hitting from Butler to line the low and away pitch to right to bring Dyson home. That was the sort of inning that wasn't happening during the first month of the season.
In the third, it was the MooseBomb. All the dude is doing is hitting .310/.371/.540. Nice. It's weird, but when Hosmer started crushing minor league pitching, he kind of shoved Moustakas to second tier prospect status. But if Moose wasn't number one on those prospect lists, he was 1A. He's a damn good ballplayer. Now if we could only get that other guy going…
— Speaking of Hosmer, he did pick up a pair of hits, one of which was an opposite field double. Opposite field hits are always a good sign, but he's teased us before. Anyway, it was his first multi-hit game since May 3 – the first game of the homestand against the Yankees. And only his sixth multi-hit game of the year. When I say "multi-hit," I mean two hit games… Because he's yet to collect more than two hits in a game this season.
— Mazzaro was successful because he threw strikes. According to PITCH f/x, 14 of his 16 four seam fastballs were strikes as were 21 of his 34 two seamers. He doesn't miss many bats – he only generated four swings and misses of his total 50 fastballs – which against the Rangers feels dangerous. Especially if you're living in the zone as much as Mazzaro was on Tuesday. But for one night at least, it worked. It also helped that the Rangers seemed a little overzealous, chasing a number of pitches out of the zone.
Whatever… It worked. It also helps that Mazzaro limited any potential damage by walking just a single batter. His final line:
If you had offered that line to me ahead of the game, I would have gladly accepted. Baseball is a funny game.
— And then the bullpen… What an effort. Timmay Collins set the tone by striking out five of the six batters he faced. That curve… Just devastating. He's just been amazing this year. Collins was followed by Aaron Crow, Jose Mijares and a rejuvenated Greg Holland. Here's the combined bullpen line of the evening:
That's how Dayton drew it up, right? Cobble together five half-decent innings from your mediocre starting pitcher and then have the bullpen lock things down for the next four? And hope like hell your lineup strings together enough runs to give your team a fighting chance?
It's a wonderful thing when a plan comes together.

Lined drapes are the best choice for insulation.
The addition of a cloth lining to the back of a drape fabric creates distinct
advantages over an unlined drape.

against winter cold and summer heat. It can thereby help reduce your utility
costs which is a good thing wherever you live.
Lined drapes also dampen or reduce sound from outside sources.

can last 10 to 15 years longer than unlined drapes. Lined

The Theatre Arts Department Proudly Presents
THE FIREBUGS, by Max Frisch, Translation by Mordecai Gorelik
"A Morality Play Without a Moral"
THE FIREBUGS, translated by Mordecai Gorelik and presented off Broadway in 1963, is one of Max Frisch's most provocative and brilliant plays. Whether the play is regarded as a hilarious, almost slapstick farce or as a satirical attack against complacency depends on the point of view one brings to it. Using dramatic techniques as old as allegory and as new as the Theatre of the Absurd, Frisch reveals the actions and attitudes of people confronted with a powerful and ruthless enemy.

A 14 year old boy has been missing since Feb. 19. He arrived at a foster home in Castle Dale on Feb. 12. He was registered into the San Rafael Junior High on Feb. 16 and attended school for two and one half days. It was determined that on the day of Feb. 19 he had not eaten lunch and was not in school after fourth period. A call came into the Emery County dispatch at 4:48 p.m. from the foster mother saying the boy had not arrived home from school.
The sheriff's office put out an attempt to locate and notified state authorities and Carbon County to aid in the search. He was also registered with the missing and runaway childrens network.
On March 28, a book bag belonging to the boy was found on Ferron Mountain by mountain lion hunters. They reportedly gave the book bag to someone who works at the San Rafael Junior High.
On April 1, the person with the book bag reportedly called the foster mother informing her that they had a book bag belonging to the boy which had been found in a snowdrift on Ferron Mountain.
Det. Sgt. Robert Blackburn has been investigating the case, "We tracked down the people who found the book bag and gathered information on an exact location of where it was found. We conducted an extensive search of the area on Ferron Mountain on April 3. We found a lighter at the same place where the hunters had found the book bag, but nothing further. We don't know if the lighter is related or not. The higher you get the more snow you run into up there and if the boy was walking in the area, he had to be following snowmobile tracks. From the San Rafael Junior High school to the location the backpack was found is 15.5 miles. The boy is from Provo and has a history of running away from foster homes. We will continue searching as weather and conditions permit. We are asking for the help of the public on locating this boy. As you travel in the Ferron Mountain area, be on the alert for anything suspicious and any articles of clothing or whatever. If you have any information in this case, please contact the Emery County Sheriff's Office at 435-381-2404."
The boy is listed as 14 year old Shaun Bolton. He is 5'3" tall and 110 pounds. He has brown hair and a fair complexion.

Bearded Dragon
- For ages 10 & up
- Lives approximately 10 years
- Omnivores
- Come from a desert environment
Want to break into the world of reptile Pet Parenting? Or just looking to add a docile, interesting reptile to your existing family? Either way, bearded dragons (known fondly among hobbyists as "Beardies") are a great way to go. Bearded dragons are gentle by nature and will learn to enjoy interacting with their Pet Parents. They have spiny skin under their throats that when "puffed up," looks like a beard. They eat mostly live insects like crickets and also some vegetables.
Things to remember
Give your pet 3-4 days to adjust to his new surroundings, then try holding him for short amounts of time. Take care to never handle him by the tail - it could break off.
Bearded dragons originally come from the desert and need a warm, dry environment.
Calcium dust
"Dust" the insects with a calcium supplement twice a week - ask a PetSmart associate for details.
They will drink from a shallow dish and lick moisture from their skin; mist your pet every other day.
Use a well-ventilated, 40-gallon or larger, glass terrarium.
Hiding & basking
Include a basking area close to the heat source. Also add a wood or rock hiding place in the cool area of the home.
Line a juvenile's (less than 6" long) home with newspaper or reptile carpet; use a 3"-6" layer of calcium sand for adults. Clean out waste weekly and change bedding at least once a month.
Vet Assured Promise
All pets purchased at PetSmart are raised under our exclusive Vet Assuredprogram and come with a 14-day satisfaction guarantee. Vet Assured is a program designed by PetSmart veterinarians to improve the health and well-being of our pets. The program sets standards for the care of our pets by our live animal partners and store associates and establishes strict standards for the monitoring and prevention of common illnesses found in pets.

Mount Sainte-Victoire
[La Montagne Sainte-Victoire] c. 1890
oil on canvas
canvas 65.0 (h) x 92.0 (w) cm
Musée d'Orsay, Paris , Gift of the Pellerin family 1969

The notion of Cézannesque universality rests, geographically at least, on the head of a pin. Is it possible that such a tiny area, with Aix as its centre of gravity, could have produced such powerful effects?—Bruno Ely1
Rising to 1011 metres, the massive limestone peak of Mount Sainte-Victoire dominates the countryside around Aix, and the oeuvre of Cézanne. The artist produced at least thirty canvases and many watercolours, unifying the forms and rhythms of the landscape with short diagonal brushstrokes and patches of colour. In his vast panoramas of the early 1880s he contrasts the mountain and foreground vegetation, exploring ways for Mount Sainte-Victoire to become the compositional focus. In later works, the mountain dominates the entire scene, often merging into the sky. By limiting his palette to greens, blues, grey-violet and cream, Cézanne emphasises the grandeur and gravity of the landscape.
Despite the artist's constant moves—he only settled permanently in Aix in 1897—and the difficulty of dating many works, Mount Sainte-Victoire imposes a geological consistency and series-like fidelity on Cézanne's oeuvre.2 In this painting and others of the first series—Mount Sainte-Victoire and the viaduct of the Arc Valley 1882–85 (p.37) and Mount Sainte-Victoire with large pine c. 18873 being two of the most famous—Cézanne shows details of his sister- and brother-in-law's property, the walls, fields and neighbouring farmhouses, the Arc River and railway viaduct. He uses the architectural elements to enhance the landscape, as though to 'contrast the wayward and irregular forms of the natural world with the more orderly geometric shapes of man's own devising'.4 By changing his position slightly, Cézanne creates subtle variations in the geometric relationship between the landscape and built environment.
In the early paintings, Cézanne employs trees to frame or interrupt his composition; later, as he 'subtracts' these elements, the relationship between mountain and its surrounds is examined in other ways. The wall in the extreme foreground of this painting is a traditional repoussoir device, framing the composition and providing an entrée for the viewer; it forms a parallel with the aqueduct in the valley below, and counterpoint to the pyramid-like mountain. The corner of the wall also announces the point at which the foliage sweeps back, like imaginary theatre curtains, to reveal the grandeur of Mount Sainte-Victoire beyond. Rather than applying the same cross-hatching technique to the whole canvas, as he does in the later series, Cézanne adjusts the direction of his brushstrokes to his forms. The canvas is visible between the spare, quickly worked brushwork. As the artist wrote to his first biographer, Joachim Gasquet:
the blue smell of the pines … must be married to the green smell of the plains which are refreshed every morning, with the smell of stones, the perfume of distant marble from Sainte-Victoire. I have not expressed it. It must be done. And by colours, not literature.5

©2003 Jim Butcher; (P)2009 Penguin Audiobooks
"Pick up the coin?"
My only complaint about the Dresden series is the waiting for the next audio book to come out. Hells bells, I'd pick up the coin and become a "Nickle Head" if it would produce the next 2 books faster.
Oh, and FYI, the TV series does NOT do the books justice in the least. The TV Series did what "Highlander 2" did to the first movie. Judge not the Dresden series off of that!
"The Series Really Gets Into Gear"
Jim Butcher himself admits that the Dresden Files series, the first volume of which was a writing exercise in the creative writing class he was in, really starts coming into it's own in the third volume, Grave Peril. I agree with him, the first two books where really raw. They are worth reading, don't misunderstand, but they are nowhere near as good as the books which came later.
In Death Masks, I personally feel that Jim Butcher really gets things into full gear. His writing gets into full gear and he tones down on the overdriven amounts of battery and damage his hero must somehow survive to levels that someone might actually survive. That sort of thing. The plot is great and you can really see him bringing the series into maturity. It's great fun and tons of action, I strongly recommend both this book and the series!
"Each book is better than the last!"
In Death Masks, Jim Butcher seems to have hit his stride as an author. After the first two books I wasn't sure, but I'm glad I came back. The Archive and Kincaid were interesting characters that I'd like to see more of in the future.
I rather miss James Marsters' deep manly breaths that were so frequent in the early books, but his narration in this book was top notch, especially his rendition of Father Vincent, the Italian priest. It's a good melding of author and narrator, in my opinion.
I hope book 6 is available soon!
"Another excellent episode!!"
What a great series, and with James Marsters' narration, you can't go wrong.
This book was right up there with one of the best. A great cast of characters, hearing more from Susan, and that Thomas is a hoot. It had some surprise allies,( if only for awhile), adding to the book's charm.
Harry didn't have a chance to get bored, as bad guys kept popping up everywhere, in his quest to find the stolen shroud.
If you follow the series, don't miss this one.
Fantasy and Romance Author
"A must-hear for Dresden Files fans!"
This is another fun installment in the Harry Dresden series, fast-paced with tremendous jeopardies, bittersweet romance, and Butcher's trademark humor.
The audiobook is wonderfully narrated by James Marsters, who not only gives Harry the perfect, slightly world-weary film noir detective voice, but also skillfully does a variety of accents for other characters, including Japanese, British, South American Spanish, and Russian (I loved the voice he did for Sonya, the Russian atheist Knight of the Cross.)
I'm looking forward to listening to the next books in this series--the audiobooks really make the Dresden Files come alive!
"Note - They fixed the ending!"
The last chapter has been added now, so purchase at will! It's a great book, and the reading is on par with everything else read by James Marsters. Enjoy!
Great book, per usual. Looking forward to 6 & 7.
As in title, final chapter is now included.
"Oh, Harry, how we love you."
*Book source ~ Purchased at Audible.
Harry Dresden, wizard and PI, is hired by Father Vincent to find the Shroud of Turin. Unfortunately, that's not the only thing on Harry's plate. The Red Court has sent Ortega to Chicago to kill Harry, either outright or in a duel. It's Harry's choice, but if he doesn't agree to the duel then Ortega sees nothing wrong with killing anyone Harry cares about. Of course Harry agrees to the duel. All three of The Knights of the Cross are in town looking for the Shroud and trying to keep Harry away from it because they believe he will be killed, his girlfriend Susan is back, but not for the reason she tells Harry and the Denarians are also sniffing around Chicago. Poor Harry. When it rains, it pours.

Ok, there is a lot going on in this book, but everyone is still loving the series. Big surprise there. Not. :D The humor continues to entertain and is a big part of why this series is a favorite. The plot had several things going and we worried Harry would drop one or more of the balls he was juggling. With help he manages to not only stay alive, but return the Shroud to the Church. How could we have doubted him?? Everyone agreed that it was nice of Harry to give Marcone the ultimatum at the end and they didn't doubt that Marcone would comply.
New faces won approval: Kincaid, The Archive, Butters, Sanya, Shiro, Molly and even Ms. Gard. Old faces have returned: Bob, Susan, Murphy, Thomas, Michael, Marcone, Ebenezer (phone appearance) and Mac from McAnally's. Oh, and Anna's favorite…Mister. Can't forget him. Some new faces were not liked such as Ortega (though we saw him very briefly in Grave Peril), all of the Denarians, but Nicodemus in particular and we're on the fence about Martin.
Everyone thought the duel was pretty cool and that Ortega was a liar liar pants on fire. They loved meeting the other two Knights and Ebenezer impressed the crap out of them with this little thing he did at the end. I won't say what because that would spoil it, but it's frickin awesome. The fight for the Shroud at the end was pretty good and what's a helicopter swooping in to fight without Ride of the Valkyries playing? Which is actually a pretty funny inside joke that will come up in a later book. K & I laughed since we've read the books.
Favorite quote:
"…The next time I opened my eyes, I was in the morgue. This, all by itself, is enough to really ruin your day. I was lying on the examination table, and Butters, complete with his surgical gown and his tray of autopsy instruments, stood over me.
'I'm not dead!' I sputtered. 'I'm not dead!'"
I like scifi and urban fantasy. I don't like romance novels. If you are the same my reviews should help.
"New cool villians"
This book is where you really meet the Denairians. these are Demons who possess mortals through coins to do their evil work. In this one they are trying to steal the Shroud of Turin. You know that can't be good. reading this one you'll laugh a lot, cry a little and get a better understanding of the main characters.

"I'm ALL IN!"
I wasn't sold on the direction the love thread was taking, but after listening to this installment, I'm ALL IN. Same goes for the Knights; their holier-than-thou attitude would have tested my patience eventually, however in DEATH MASKS they demonstrate that they aren't 100% black or white either. The Archive was some freaky deaky sh*t which leads me to believe that Butcher has only dipped his big toe in this universe's scope. The punches kept on coming in book 5, and with so many secondary plots intertwining, the story left me reeling in the best kind of way. I don't know if I'll be able to focus on anything else until BLOOD RITES is on my iPhone, locked & loaded. Goodbye weekend! ~ 4.5 stars
"Rye and bold"
Funny with twists that carry the story on. I enjoyed it
Even slyly loved it. Bring on the next book not doubt it will be just as good
"another great adaptation"
book 5 is where butcher hits his stride. marsters keeps up in spectacular fashion. excellent "team effort"
"Another dark episode"
I should not like these books as I can't abide Sam Spade style stories and surely magic , wizards etc have been done to death - but these are compelling stories with interesting plots, yes he's too good to be true - and everyone else sees his value more than he does but that's true of so many real heroes Dresden is becoming a hero
The audio is excellent, the storytelling just at the right pace - and some of my irritations from the first couple of books have now gone completely
I'm going to say what I fear rather than most enjoy - I fear It becoming comic book escapeeism, he's nearly dead and then in a single bound he's free... Dresden's human fragility is what keeps this well grounded
Interesting question - difficult to do one for this book but overall it'd be - what would Harry Do?
"Enjoying more and more"
Keep getting better. Enjoying the series more and more as I listen. Would recommend this to anyone who likes science fiction
"Up to now one of the best"
Excellent entry in the series, the world is really becoming interesting. The narrative links from book to book whilst introducing something new in an unobtrusive way.
"Absolutely awesome"
loved every minute of listening to this! brilliant story and nothing compares to James Marsters performance. highly recommend it.
"Butcher does it again!"
Story - 5/5
Yet another superb addition to the Dresden files. This series just keeps getting better and better, with the action, world and characters constantly stepping it up a gear each time. I can't see how he can keep this up for another 10 books – but I will definitely be finding out.
There's not really a whole lot else to say that I haven't already said in the previous book's reviews, but I would definitely recommend reading them in order for the gradual progression they give. Although my urban fantasy read pile isn't that large, Dresden is by far the best amongst it so far. The wit, humour and the sheer epic magnitude make it really stand out.
Performance – 5/5
Another masterful and flawless performance from James Marsters, and I am glad to see that he narrates all of the later books too – as he IS Dresden in my head, and it would be too disruptive to not be him. He is a brilliant actor, performing the book and dialogue beautifully to fit the mood that Jim Butcher has created.
Overall - 5/5
"Quite Poor compared to other books"
Having listened to 6 Dresden File Audio books i found this one to be quite week, the story does not have the level of detail that 1-4 had and i found the pace quite jumpy thankfully book 6 is better so am thinking this is just a rare bad day at the office for Jim Butcher.
"Superb Harry Dresden book"
I suspect that Harry Dresden books are like Marmite - you either love them or hate them. I love them and have spent years complaining that whilst Audible USA had these books, we in the UK did not. At last they are here.
Harry Dresden is a modern-day wizard in Chicago, grappling with the proclivity of 21st century equipment (computers et al) to go into melt down when he is near. He has all the modern problems of paying his rent and taxes, but with the added layer of having to deal with the politics of the White Council of wizards ( he is too anarchic to ever fit in there), fight the vampire courts and deal with the odd demon. If you like this type of fantasy book, you will love the Dresden series.
In this book, Harry duels with a vampire committed to killing him ( even if it means cheating); searching for the stolen Shroud of Turin (before it falls into the wrong hands); being a target for his own side ( if his death prevents a war with the vampires, goodbye Harry); and many more complex threads. All dealt with by a Harry who gets very battered at times, but never loses his wry ( though at times, tired) wit.
There are many other characters in this book - Susan ( Harry's former love); Bob ( the spirit of a very experienced wizard, trapped by curse to inhabit a skull for eternity) who assists Harry with his knowledge; Murphy ( a Police Officer who does not want to believe in magic and ghosts and other horrors, but having known Harry for some time, knows what she has seen); and so on.
I really cannot recommend this book, and all of the others in the Harry Dresden series, too highly if you like this genre.
"Oh, and hit men, just a few of them too."
I am a big fan of the Dresden Files and have read them all over the years. A few years ago I bought Storm Front in audio format and I was not disappointed, James Marsters is a great narrator. As soon as I got my Audible membership I bought Fool Moon and Grave Peril soon after. It's been a few years and I intermittently check if the rest of the series has become available on audio. Lo and Behold! A few weeks ago I found that they were now all available! I used up the credits I'd stashed for a rainy day and got Summer Knight and Death Masks for listening.
Private detective/wizard-for-hire Harry Dresden is neck deep in the action again, his ex girlfriend has returned, a red court vampire challenges for a duel and the Chicago PD need help in a case involving a headless and handless corpse... Oh, and hit men, just a few of them too.
The greatest thing about audio books is being able to multi task... playing with toddler, washing up, housework [Yuk] and knitting are all things I can do while listening to these great books.
I can't wait for my next credits to arrive and I can get some more Dresden audiobooks!

Gambler Ugly Otter 4" 7pk
Gambler's 4" Ugly Otter is fast becoming a bait that bass anglers worldwide must have in their arsenal. Gambler designed the bait with two small paddles on the side and one large paddle on the end. The paddles move through the water creating a commotion that any bass can sense, even in the thickest grass or heaviest wood cover. The smaller paddles on either side of the bait can be cut down the middle to add even more action. The Otter is deadly when punching grass mats because it draws attention in tight spaces, and combined with the garlic scent it's irresistible to an inactive bass. When punching mats, a hard popping action allows the bait to flutter back down though the grass, drawing attention even in the most dense structure. Gambler has a wide variety of colors to choose from that are effective in the darkest muddy water to the clearest water situations. Whether flipping to heavy cover or pitching to isolated targets, the Ugly Otter is a bait that will flat out catch fish.

Comments: Flip it, Drag it.pitch it--it does not matter. This little bait will get you bites! Gambler makes a great line of soft plastics and this along with the Why-Not are fish catching baits. You will not be disappointed with the Otter--Give them a try
From: Dave: Ohio 1/16/17
Comments: I was fishing today with an Otter set up and lost a 3 or 4 lb. I tried to yank it on shore with a crank bait rod. The fish wiggled off the hook bounced off the rock next to me and a fell back in about 8 feet of water. I cast the Otter out again and slowly ran the lure by that spot the fish fell into. That same fish I guess grabbed the Otter and I waited for 25 seconds to make sure the fish had the lure. Unfortunately same exact results. Buy Gamblers Ugly Otter and don't go jig fishing with a crank bait rod !!!
From: Paul: Nash, TN 4/29/15
Comments: awesome bait, super versatile, great scent. I Ike throwing it on a half ounce tungsten around pretty much anything besides mats. It slides through cover well but not as smoothly as the why not. I've caught tons of fish on this bait. I really like the flapping action it has. It just drives the fish nuts. Great bait definitely a must have.
From: Leo: VT 1/7/15
Comments: Flip it, pitch it, drag it, or on a trailer, this bait does it all! All the colors work, but get some for each type of water. Blacks and blues for muddy, greens for clear or tinged. My new go to flippin bait!
From: Max: Burlington, VT 17/15
Comments: These are excellent baits. One tip I can recommend is to cut the tails and arms along the seems, this gives them even more action than they already have.
From: Garreth: Cape Town
Comments: I have used many "beaver" style baits but the paddle tails on the Otter seem to have a unique action that just works. I usually use them on a shaky head but have also used as a jig trailer, and on a Jika rig-the latter has tons of swimming action. Great in rocky clear lakes and in flooded brush. My only gripe is that they don't hold up all that well, a fish or two and usually your bait is gone. They do catch quality fish though and lots of good colors...definitely recommend them.
From: Jeremy: Rockaway Beach, Mo. USA
Comments: DON'T BUY THESE. I want them all to my self!! Best bait i have ever flipped in my life. Numerous fish 4-5 lb range.
From: Ed: NY
Comments: Rig a Green Pumpkin Shadow Ugly Otter on a 3/8 to 1/2oz Fintech Titleshot Jig. I drag this over a rock point that starts in 3 feet of water and tapers to 15 feet of water. The bass just thump it! I love rigging this on a NorthStar Baits Alien Head Jig to flip and pitch shallow wood/logs/brush.
From: Rick: Saint Francis, MN
Comments: Picked a bag up after Chris lane took the classic....yeah I know. cliche... But dang these perform well! Black and blue works great on my slough. My old man kills it. T-rig with 1/8 oz. sinker. flip,pitch,wing, whatever you do. Throw it up on a pad. dribble if off onto the water...let it sink and hold on!!!

Comments about this product:
I showed this DVD to my college class as a basis for informing them of atomic fusion energy research, its benefits and importance. In fact, this is the only DVD of its kind of which I'm aware. It makes a phenomenal case for exploring this energy alternative for the future of the USA, aptly summarizing the potential benefits, the importance of this technology in conjunction with other, vital, human exploration, and provides a basis for how one should view the relative importance of developing new technology, particularly for how it pertains to the human race as a whole. This contrasts so sharply with our government's naive and fatalistic approach of doing absolutely nothing meaningful to service either the 300+ million people in this country or the 8+ billion people in the world. Want to get into deep trouble? Then ignore the huge need for exploration of future energy to properly service the expanding population and do NOTHING to develop future untapped resources on the Moon or on the Earth. They're heading us intentionally toward their own version of the old movie "Soylent Green", a non-productive, ridiculously rationed (and strapped), arrested society! This film goes beyond such stupidity, alerting us to a practical and exciting possibility of how to potentially augment the quality of life and help human beings sharply focus on healthy expansion into space exploration for both practical as well as ideal purposes.
