when i play it there is a crazy color glitch can someone help me
I can't believe this is a job.
Trust me guys this game sucks very much much, 1 its graphically outdated 2 gameplay sucks since you can't build your character specific roles e.g critical assasins/hunters/knights/etc or tanker or WoE/PvE/PvP/PvM type which really is a big let down , unlike the first release of RO1 which had really a HUGE IMPACT on what role your character will be but RO2??? f*ck there aint any but just generic builds even the WISDOM stat is useless...
So to anyone outthere who wants to try this trash and already played the RO1, well i bet you you'll get bored and go back to RO1 gameplay and technicality wise and i don't give a f*ck about graphics...
Maybe newbies may get attracted to this due to it's simplicity/non technical character/item builds but meh, i'll just stick to RO1 or go play DRAGON NEST...
There's no war of emperium?
class thing sounds like luna online and tabula rasa
if they release a EU version and decide to release it via a company like aerie or perfect world you can guarantee they"ll fuck it up
/facedesk another one of these. I'm really struggling to pay attention to this video after having played Guild Wars 2 and Rusty Hearts.
I guess if its got a wilderness its a WoW clone, i suppose nothing will ever be developed with a wilderness that isn't stamped as some WoW clone. Really, besides mmo's there were RPG's and WoW just rips from both. Relating to mechanics is one thing but just shooting games down because they're a "Clone" when actualy not is just bad. I gotta say that i havn't been wowed by anything from this game, yet.. and probably never.
looks like the developers are going to have a tough time... (just saying)... looks like all the RO 1 fans hate the sequal, and anyone not familiar with the original, likes the sequal... btw, those that say its a "clone" or "copy" (whatever) of WoW; "isn't imitation, the greatest form of flatury"... star wars bf series was practically a clone of battlefield and medal of honor a clone/competitor of CoD... WoW has never appealed to me but this games light atmosphere does ("to each there own" i suppose)... i think this game will be a very nice game for the younger generation... but for those that want a mmo thats "more indepth";might be interested in "age of wushu"...
i hope this game DOES go well, because it looks fun... as i said it'll be a great game for the younger gamers in their first mmo (after all isn't that what the RO1 fans were)
It looks very generic.
Why.. just why they are trying to make a WoW clone... They could just recreate the old action-rpg like RO with better engine and new features and mechanics.. Gravitys' just destroying my favorite childhood mmorpg franchise..
The color look washed out. Maybe its the bad video quality.
when is it going to release??? i can't wait to play that :) :)
The waiting is .... forever!
don knw when RO2 jz no bete serveri think i 14 age until now 23 also no gaming ady
Aw man, no Novice class? How am I going to get my Super-Novice on, now?
Also, nice meshes. I didn't even recognize it as Unreal Engine. No texture pop-in.
I hope they got porings.
XD The BETA TEST WAS GREAT! I thought it was boring at first since I'm accustomed to the old RO, and RO2 looked like a "Same old MMORPG" but when I actually tried it, I REALLY REALLY ENJOYED PLAYING IT! There are many new features and great challenges, Also the party function is really good and COOL unlike back then! The sense of humor in the game was also great too, things that do not actually happen in games now happens, (like jumping in a very high mountain can kill you.) XD I really cant wait for the OBT this december.
lol wow I remember when I played RO and saw this was coming out so cool back then, now it just looks boring and the same as the first RO.
This game came out yearssss ago.. but they never translated it
Ill Stick to the Old RO Thanks ><
out with the old...FOREVER!
finally, it comes a bit too late for me, also doesnt seem to add anything new or different, still im glad rag 2 is coming
"WOW!! This is awesome, and the graphics are just unbelievable" is what I would have said if this game came out 7 years ago...
Ragnarok Online is the first MMO I've ever played and all I can say is Ragnarok II is nothing but another generic in a sea of generic JRPG MMO that doesn't stand out at all...
Was hoping for a trip down memory lane, but this seems to be a hard left through shit avenue and straight down boring boulevard...so thanks but no thanks Gravity Corp....it's WAY too little and WAY too late...
WoW this is nothing like the other one. You guys trying to trick us with the name??
I`m....I`m sorry but this is not the ragnarok i grew up with.......
lol this has nothing to do with Ragnarok
I already miss the merchant class.
My god...I haven't even heard anything about Ragnarok Online 2 since they showed that messy-looking version with the tiny 3D characters. It really looked nothing like the original Ragnarok Online...then again the original Ragnarok Online looked nothing like the manwha it was based off of. I remember reading that when I was in middle school and obsessed with all that manga and anime stuff. Too bad the artist stopped working on it for the game.
Looks better than the first.
Tried the CBT...
Quite different from the RO we know....But story line are very clear...until i felt i'm playing some square enix RPG rather than MMOs...
And they put in a level cap for experience (not item)...basically me lvl17 kill something level 27 and get 2 exp only
Meaning that you're basically tied to the story line as you progress...no high level tank for easy levelling anymore..
Basically its a totally unknown world for 55millions ex-RO players out there ecept for Item names, ride, town name & skill name and you'll find it hard to accept that Blessing only gives 15% max hp to party member only...but u'll get used to it quite fast. Good for bringing back memories...
Overall gaming experience for 1 week CBT...not bad but i doubt it will be half as success as the 1st RO due to the lack of freedom especially the complicated card & elemental system of the original RO. No more 680k sonic boom dmg my friend...
now ragnarok is some flyff clone =/
why not just evolve the graphics using the same old cute lil sprites in 3d world?!
noooo this is not ragnarok anymore
When will it stop. All these mmo are destroying the game industry. Instead of a good single player game they make crappy mmo that have NO story terrible gameplay and you have to pay for them. Instead of making a great game they make a crappy game so that they can earn more money by asking you to pay every month for exclusive content that should be free.
Boring and one of the same... not for me
man I remember playing ragnarok back when it was free!
Some players are saying that the graphics is not the best but otherwise it is entertaining. I am currently playing ball games and pool. http://tiny.cc/findtheball
I am not really impressed by this.
Compared to the original which was actually entertaining, this just looks like your everyday F2P Korean MMO trying to emulate WoW's gameplay. I woulda gone with RO1's isometric style with updated visuals rather than this.
No, I take it back. This looks like another WoW copy with mediocre presentation.
Developers should've stuck with isometric hack and slash MMORPG just like the first Ragnarok, it truly was one of the best Action RPGs ever created and this just isn't it. Why didn't they see potential in isometric perspective ...
@jessie82 The European version will be handled by gravity themselves from the looks of it.
@Darthrocker The reason why people are complaining is because this game is just another mindless korean-esque MMO clone, there's nothing new to it that you cannot find in another 100 more games like this one...
This game could've received a better reception, had it been released 6 years ago or so...
Sorry, but it's the truth. Ragnarok Online 2 sucks, and there are much better games, old games if I may add, that are much better than this cheap sequel.
@Darthrocker I agree....
Most of the people who hate the sequel are guys who haven't even tried playing the actual RO2. I just hope those guys gave it a try first before OVER REACTING. =)
@MiXarnt Really? I looks like RO has been raped into WoW, with the zones, quests, cooldowns, and stringent level requirements on things. I'm sure I'll try out the open beta, but I'm honestly not expecting much. The original RO was so different than most other MMOs. I really liked that about it, since I can't stand standard themepark MMOs. However, I will say that I like the graphics better than the average anime-themed MMO.
Its gonna be F2P and $$ on the cash item...the normal trend where you will end up spending much more than a monthly fee like last time.
give it a try...oh...CBT closed & OBT on 27thits actually quite entertaining when you get a hang on the control system...
But do expect everyone will be as powerful as you are...no more waiting boss respawn...
@Sardinar You can indeed play it in isometric view. Its camera is flexible: you can zoom in and out and even adjust the angle until it's exactly like the original RO.
Sometimes I preferred to play in the aforementioned isometric perspective to easily overview the action that's happening (I'm a priest you see~ Mostly during party-based boss battles)
Other times I can play in Third-person =) (when leveling alone)
Now just lack a FPS perspective (like Skyrim's flexible TPS & FPS perspective)
@MiXarnt @Darthrocker You're talking out of you ass... How can you say that everybody hating the sequel hadn't even layed it first?
I did, and this game is just another average Korean MMO
@poster012 Yes what I said is true. But I dunno how u will react to it when u tried it, since what I said is only what I felt and what I experience =) ... But like I said I did not actually think I will like it when I first saw it's gameplay until I actually tried it out.

DisplAir brings interactivity to FogScreen projection display
By Darren Quick
November 28, 2011
Finnish company FogScreen has been wowing attendees at major events, trade shows and conventions and giving advertisers another way to capture our attention for over five years now with its FogScreen technology - a display system that projects images onto a curtain of fog so they appear to float in the air. Now Russian company DisplAir has added some interactivity to the technology by giving it multi-touch capabilities that allows users to manipulate projected images in mid-air.
Through the use of an infrared camera, DisplAir says its interactive display is able to handle up to 1,500 finger taps simultaneously to accommodate multiple users with 1 cm (0.39 in) accuracy and a time delay of less than 0.2 seconds. The system allows users to manipulate virtual 3D objects and moving images in real time using gestures as well as letting them select menu options and type on an "on screen" keyboard. The software even allows users to draw in the air with their fingers and the 0.2 seconds response time makes interactive mid-air games possible.
The DisplAir system supports virtual screens of up to 142 inches (360 cm) in size with prices expected to range from US$4,000 to $30,000 should it become commercially available. The company is currently seeking investors to make this happen.
Because the images are projected onto a thin layer of cold fog the resolution isn't exactly high def or consistent, but it's definitely eye-catching as can be seen in the video below.

Cleburne County Hospital Board member Tracy Lambert placed Roberts on leave Wednesday afternoon, he said. The board is the governing body over and establishes policy for the EMS.
Lambert said the main reason he placed Roberts on administrative leave was for insubordination. But the leave period also allows Lambert time to gather information for an investigation into possible policy violations, he said.
"We've been making some changes," Lambert said. "During those changes, more issues came up."
Lambert said he doesn't believe any laws were violated. He declined to comment further about the investigation.
Speaking by phone Thursday evening, Roberts declined to elaborate on the matter, saying only that the action placing him on paid leave had been "swift."
Roberts said he would make his statement at the board's meeting on Thursday.
One of the founding members of EMS in 1989, Roberts has worked as a paid employee, as a volunteer and served as a board member over the last 24 years, he said. Roberts has served as executive director for three years.
The board has been trying to bring down costs at EMS, said board member Gayle Anderson.
According to Anderson, the board receives a 4-mill property tax to operate the Cleburne County Nursing Home and EMS. The nursing home is self-sufficient, but EMS is not. The board knows it will have to continue to supplement the service, but the cost was getting very close to eating up all of the money the board receives, she said.
"It was right at the line," Anderson said. "With costs going up and property values going down, it was precarious."
In the two years she has been on the board, members have requested changes to help bring the cost of operating the ambulance service down, including changes to the vacation policy and overtime scheduling. Those changes have not been implemented, Anderson said.
The board decided to be proactive and hired a consultant to advise them. Ralph Mitchell, the consultant, had recommended a public-private partnership at the board's January meeting. But the idea was discarded after Lambert proposed overseeing EMS himself. The board voted to allow Lambert six months to turn EMS around.
Board Chairman Bill Cleino said the members gave Lambert a lot of leeway to handle things at EMS.
"He can't hire and fire," Cleino said. "(The employees) work directly for the board."
The board will decide if it wants to take further action against Roberts at its meeting on Thursday.
Board member Pam Richardson said the board has supported Lambert in the decision and is receiving updates from him.
For now, the three shift supervisors, Faith M. Price, Lee Bullock and Mitch Upchurch, are handling the day-to-day operations with his oversight, Lambert said.

Good Quality

I'm very satisfied with this product. Greener Grasses is not as smooth as Green Magma, but has more dense and fresh green taste while being a little more economical. A little bit of rough texture and aftertaste because of the grasses fiber, but you can get used to it. I recommend this.
Definitely worth buying!

Gras ses powders have been grinded to extremely fine and it mixes really easy with a blender bottle. The taste is very strong and quite bitter and that probably reflects its potency and freshnes s. Because of the taste, I wouldn't recommend it to beginners. This product uses both whole gras s and juice so you can be sure that you are getting benefits from both sides. What makes these gras s products better than other is that it uses air tight lid glas s bottle (plastic container leaks oxygen and leech toxic gas ses over time), UV tinted glas s (protect from UV light), Truganic (Healthforce's own more stringent version of organic), no carrier agents like maltodextrin (commonly used) and grinded to very fine (highly bioavailable). Pricewise, it is reasonable for what you actually get. Check out my page for more reviews!
great stuff

I've been using these grasses for a long time now, 6-8 teaspoons mixed into water as a shot throughout the day. Have experienced great energy and cleansing, it may be a tad costlier than other types but there really is no compromising on quality & ingredients when you want to alkalize. It's true, you tend to get what you pay for.
Love the taste and the cooling effect

It's like another reader said, a cheap alternative to Green Magma and wheatgrass has its own benefits so I'm happy. It's cooling and refreshing - combine it with Vitamineral Green for a smoother taste. Seems to help my inflammatory responses.
Absolutely love this product!!!!!

According to Los Angeles International Airport spokesman Albert Rodriguez, as of about 9 p.m. Monday, some 10 airlines had canceled 304 flights at LAX since Sunday involving the East Coast because of Hurricane Sandy. Figures for Tuesday were not immediately available.
Airport officials suggested that departing passengers and motorists picking up passengers check with their airlines before heading to the airport. Flight status information at LAX is also available here.

Network World - NEW YORK -- As Cisco wraps up migrating its Catalyst 6500 installed base to either the E-series chassis or the Nexus platform, the company has plenty on tap next year for the venerable core switch.
Cisco's working on some new ASICs for the entire Catalyst line that will enhance programmability, service richness and wire-speed performance, said Rob Soderbery, senior vice president and general manager of Cisco's Enterprise Networking Group. Soderbery, who met with Network World during the Interop New York trade show this week, heads up Cisco's $18 billion enterprise networking business.
FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE: 15 More Useful Cisco Sites
Cisco is also plans to scale the Catalyst 6500 backplane beyond its current 80Gbps per slot to support features like 100G Ethernet, Soderbery said. Cisco is also going to add some of the data center and network virtualization capabilities now found on the Nexus platforms to the Catalyst 6500 – features like FabricPath/TRILL multiple active Ethernet paths, FEX fabric extension, and Locator/Identifier Separation Protocol (LISP).
The company also plans on improving the size and form factor of the Catalyst 6500, where smaller boxes would have the same performance as a full, 13-slot chassis, Soderbery said.
"We have a vibrant roadmap for the Cat 6k," he said. "So we're going to be aggressive about pushing the 6k forward, optimizing around campus aggregation and core."
Features like 100G Ethernet and scaling down the footprint of the high-end, 13-slot Catalyst 6513 are "obvious" ehancements, Soderbery said. But some, like adding Nexus data center fabric and virtualization features, may not be.
Cisco is in the latter stages of migrating its legacy Catalyst 6500 base to the E-series platforms with the new Sup 2T supervisor engine for campus networking, and to the Nexus switches in the data center. Of the 750,000 Catalyst 6500 chassis installed worldwide, the split between campus and data center deployment is roughly 50:50, Soderbery said, and 15% -- or 112,000 – still need to move onto the E-series platforms.
The Sup2T migration is the fastest supervisor engine migration in the history for the Catalyst 6500, Soderbery said. Cisco has shipped 16,000 Sup2T's to over 2,600 customers, and is on track to a $1 billion business in its current fiscal year, which ends in late July of 2013.
Whether in the data center or the campus, Soderbery says the "end state" for those deployments is managing those networks as fabrics. That's why current data center-focused features like FabricPath, TRILL and FEX may find a home on the Catalyst 6500 campus core.
"We will be releasing over the next 12-18 months new innovations in the Cat 6k encompassing those technologies," he said. "For campus use cases, we're going to be focusing on continuing to invest in the Cat 6k."
Getting LISP onto the Catalyst 6500 is a priority, Soderbery said. LISP, which separates an IP address location from its identity, can be used to better support mobility and more flexible network designs in the campus, he said.

It's either lakefront or bust for them! Take it or leave it.
Bust and give up the name.
I remember when the Hornets moved here and kicked the Brass out of the Arena, one of the options looked at when the Mardi Gras krewes wouldn't let them move back to the Municipal Auditorium was the UNO Lakefront Arena. But they couldn't go there due to the dimensions needed for the ice rink. I'm thinking that the same issue may come up for the Voodoo. It's a shame that they are probably headed down the same road as the Brass. Didn't the Voodoo use to have pretty good crowds? What happened? Was it because of the new owner?

Yeah, the game day experience, it's not what it used to be. I don't even know if the auditorium would even be a feasible option at this point. But the state has way to much invested in this deal as does Benson, so the VooDoo's needs are going to fall on deaf ears. The only other option maybe, proximity wise, would be the convention center. And that's if it's feasible size wise!
So any word yet on the name? Not one Fletcher Mackel or Fletcher Mackel trying to pull a lee zurik, where are the people who know people?
Well, nothing to report but just judging by all of the circumstances coming to a head I think it is safe to say that if he's going to buy the Voodoo brand it's going to be this off-season or not at all.
The phone signal in the dome seems much better with this lighter crowd.
Agreed with UP.

My question is about four-way stops. We have two on Bay Ave that also have plenty of pedestrians crossing on a very wide street. I know the rule about yield to the driver on your right, but how does that work when waiting for a pedestrian causes you to lose your "turn"? Other cars go while I'm waiting, then new cars arrive and the rotation gets all out of order. I think I should just wait patiently for it to be my turn again, but cars behind me honk for me to go.
Lots of times, everyone just creeps forward, not sure what to do, so we end up kinda all in the middle of intersection. Other times, the drivers will go when a pedestrian is crossing the second half of the street, inching up on the ped. Sometimes not "inching" either, but more like "impatiently pushing". Maybe I never truly understood the 4 way stop rules. Especially when the 4 way intersection is complicated by 2 lanes, a left hand turn lane, AND pedestrians having to cross a wide street. Oh yeah, and also drivers coming out of a business, merging into traffic.
Is there a simple way to sort out who rightfully should go?
Here's the answer from Campbell Capt. Charley Adams:
21800(c) CVC states - When two vehicles enter an intersection from different highways at the same time and the intersection is controlled from all directions by stop signs, the driver of the vehicle on the left shall yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on his or her immediate right.
21950(a) CVC states - The driver of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian crossing the roadway within any marked crosswalk or within any unmarked crosswalk at an intersection
So, if you have arrived first at the intersection and a pedestrian steps into the crosswalk to cross in front of your vehicle, you must yield to the pedestrian using due care for his or her safety. Once that pedestrian is no longer in the crosswalk you may proceed. If other cars have arrived and were not affected by the pedestrian, and have already entered the intersection, then you must yield to the cars that are already in the intersection.
Your idea to just be patient and wait until the rotation comes back to you is a wise one and while it may result in an impatient driver behind you honking the horn, it will likely alleviate the risk of a collision in the intersection.
Courtesy, patience and good judgment are all good practice when driving a motor vehicle and will tend to keep one out of traffic collisions.
If you are looking for the technical answer on who should rightfully go, 21800(c) is the answer. The real world however requires some give and take so continue to exercise Courtesy, Patience, and Good Judgment, and you will likely arrive at your destination unscathed and on time.

Over the course of its 2011-2012 season, the Galerie St. Etienne examined women's representation in Austrian and German art of the early twentieth century, reflected on the changing field of self-taught art, and traced contemporary artist Sue Coe's steadfast commitment to various social issues through a major exhibition of new and old works. This year's RECENT ACQUISITIONS exhibition features rare oil paintings by George Grosz and Arnold Schoenberg, a wonderful selection of drawings by Egon Schiele, Gustav Klimt, and Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, prints by Max Beckmann and Erich Heckel, and important oils and works on paper by Marie-Louise Motesiczky. Rounding out the show are groupings of works by Sue Coe, Grandma Moses, and Josef-Karl Rädler, and an oil painting by John Kane.
RECENT ACQUISITIONS is documented by a comprehensive checklist, which is available free of charge by mail, or can be downloaded from our website: http://www.gseart.com. The accompanying essay contains the Galerie St. Etienne's annual "state of the market" report, which this year discusses the "authentication crisis."

Scott Parker
- Squad No: 8
- Position: Midfielder
- Age: 33
- Birth Date: Oct 13, 1980
- Birth Place: Lambeth
- Height: 5' 7" (1.70m)
- Weight: 155 lbs (70.5 kg)
2013/14 English Premier League
Parker came through the ranks at Charlton to establish himself as an important member of the first team squad. Technically gifted and an extremely good passer, he is a graduate of the FA's National School of Excellence.
The midfielder joined First Division Norwich City on loan at the end of October 2000 after playing only a handful of first team games in the early part of the season at The Valley. He went on to play six games for the Canaries, with his only goal coming in a 3-2 defeat at Sheffield Wednesday.
The 2001/02 season saw Parker really become a true star for Charlton. England honours would follow, representing his country at the European Under-21 Championships in Switzerland in May 2002.
He was one of the few unused players in the full England side's match against Australia in February 2003.
By the start of the 2003/04 campaign, he was becoming noticed by the big clubs.
Chelsea, backed by the millions of Roman Abramovich, launched an unsuccessful £5million bid for the player. When that move fell through, Parker committed himself to a new five-year deal at The Valley. Although it had become clear that Parker was desperate for a move to Stamford Bridge.
The star's vibrant box-to-box displays had won many admirers. And his ability to score spectacularly from outside the area also caught the eye.
Chelsea moved in for the player again when the transfer window re-opened in January, and despite Charlton's desperate attempts to keep hold of him, he made it abundantly clear he wanted the switch. Chelsea paid a total of £10million. He played 145 games for the Addicks, scoring ten goals.
He made his Chelsea debut in a 3-2 win at Blackburn Rovers, and scored in his next game against Portsmouth.
Parker looked a good acquisition for Chelsea in the remainder of the season, and just missed the cut for England's squad for Euro 2004.
He struggled to make an impact in 2004/05 as injuries took their toll. He featured only 11 times that term before a foot injury effectively ended his Blues career in mid-December.
Parker played just 28 games for Chelsea, scoring one goal.
A host of clubs were desperate for his signature in the summer of 2005, but it was Newcastle United who won his signature in a deal worth £6.5million.
Parker's start to his Newcastle career was impressive and his performances earned him a recall to the England squad after an absence of more than two years.
But it turned sour for Parker in 2006/07 as he was made a scapegoat for Newcastle's poor season and he opted to leave the club in the summer, moving back to London to join West Ham in a £7million deal.
He made his Hammers bow in a 1-0 League Cup victory against Plymouth Argyle after missing the start of the campaign with a knee injury. He was then crocked in his next appearance against Arsenal which sidelined him for two months. And he missed another two-and-a-half months after Christmas to further frustrate him in his debut season.
Parker enjoyed a good end to the 2007/08 season to suggest he has much more to offer the Hammers.
Indeed, in the following campaign he continued to shine for West Ham, and was named Hammer of the Year as reward for his displays, landing the honour once more a year later after he scored a vital goal that helped the Hammer.
That summer he was subject of interest from Tottenham but a move failed to materialise. And he again performed impressively at Upton Park, praised for a reportedly rousing half-time speech when the team were losing. His performances saw him named Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year.
Yet he could not save West Ham from relegation, and, after their demotion, Tottenham reignited their interest and swooped late for his services.
On an international level, Parker has been a late bloomer, after a first England cap in 2003 was followed by a second outing in 2006. It was only in 2011 that Parker began to establish himself on the international stage, with manager Fabio Capello applauding his qualities.
Strengths: Parker boasts a remarkable engine. His never-say-die attitude marries psychological qualities with physiological stamina. He technique is decent, the midfielder tidy in possession and capable of accurate shooting from distance.
Weaknesses: It could be suggested that Parker's commitment can sometimes blur into the over-zealous. Furthermore, his, albeit restricted, struggles at Chelsea indicated a lack of ability to grab a game by the scruff of the neck and shine for the 'big boys'.
Career high: Being named Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year in 2011.
Career low: Suffering relegation with West Ham in the 2010-11 season.
Style: Box-to-box, tenacious, never-say-die.
Quotes: "We were diabolical but at half-time Scott was inspirational. Scott was in the zone - I've never seen him like that. If you were there you would have had a tear in your eye." Carlton Cole on Parker's half-time speech against West Brom.
Trivia: As a 13-year-old, Parker appeared in a British television advert for McDonald's as part of the 1994 FIFA World Cup campaign, in which he did some keepie uppies in his back garden.

Poured from a 750 mL green bottle into a Brewer's Art goblet. Moderate hand. Label has batch notched at 5. Didn't realize this was a one-off...
A: Cloudy, rust-colored orange with 1 solid finger of off-white head. Decent retention. Nice lacing.
S: Yeast dominant. Lactic tartness. Lemon, clove, spice. Floral hops. Light soap. Maybe if I strain I can pick up traces of banana.
T: Slight tang and touch of funk leads into an assertive hop bitterness. Builds to a fairly dry, floral finish. Muted coffee notes arise late and linger into the aftertaste. No alcohol to speak of.
M: Smooth, moderate carbonation and moderate body. Well suited to the flavor profile. Very nice.
O: Well, I'm a bit confused with this beer. I liked it, and then I liked it less, and then I liked it a bit more, and then a bit less, and so and so forth. Not a typical Weizenbock at all, let's just get that out of the way. More of a Belgian pale or a heavily hopped saison. Or a hybrid of the two. Interesting quaff, but I do suspect this probably drank better earlier in its life...

Picked this up at a great little beer store in Arlon, Belgium, Miorge Mihoublon. This is their 14th Anniversary Weizen Bock brewed with coffee beans. Murky amber-brown pour with an off-white creamy three finger head with decent retention and nice lacing. Spicy, bready, slightly sour, malty nose with hints of banana, apple, toffee, grapes, and a touch of barnyard. The taste is really unique and surprisingly bold. The coffee is much more prevalent along with hints of wood, tobacco, banana, plum, raisin, clove, toffee, brown bread, leather, and just a touch of orange peel. The mouthfeel is slightly thick with medium carbonation, great balance, and a nice creamy, tart finish. Overall, this was not a beer I would normally gravitate to. But I took the recommendation and I'm glad I did. It's crazy unique, crazy flavorful, and weirdly wonderful. I'm totally impressed with BFM so far!

Bottle from Beermasons. Been harbouring for a year at least.
Clear toffee-amber, on the first pour at least, with a billowing beige head that takes forever to collapse. Nice latticework.
Weizenbock? Strikes as more of an amber ale with the slightly lactic BFM yeast strain very much in evidence. Decent bready caramel aromas alongside assertive red grape and balsamic. Only a hint of the richer toffee and banana notes you'd expect. Quite alright, if not even close to style.
Taste is a largely yeast-driven melange of sour grape, nailpolish remover and stale, almost tannic notes, which dominate the non-descript caramel malt backbone
Medium body, moderate carbonation. Feels lighter than 7.5% Lactic, almost metallic finish isn't all that pleasant
Whatever this confused beast is trying to be, it aint a Weizenbock. Knowing Beermasons though, this bottle is probably in terrible nick.

Poured into a weizen glass a murky amber with some chunkies and floatiesswirling at the bottom of the glass,a nice looking large blooming slightly off white head atop that slowly settled into a frothy mass.Aromas have a bit of a warming tone to them,nutmeg and clove over top of bananas foster-like caramel notes,I don't get much sour and/or funk.Mild roasy coffee flavors to go along with caramel and banana,there is a light tart green apple-like note finish.The coffee adds just enough to the flavor profile to give it that added extra something,damn good and inventive.

I had this beer in the Ginger Man NYC. This review is taken from notes.
The beer is reddish with about two fingers of sticky foam when served. The foam sticks around for some decent lacing.
The nose is pretty sour, which sticks around really well for sipping. I also got some cherry in the flavor.
This makes for a challenging sipper; almost like a geuze.

Yummy. Very different (obviously) from a typical Weizenbock-much more sour-but super tasty all the same. Very unique, woth trying. You will try . . . you will try. Excellent. Looking forward to more. So easy to drink. Has to be tasty with food too.

On-tap at Prime 16.
A: Clear deep amber body under a fine, persistent inch of tan head. Great lacing.
S: Lovely, assertive aroma of honey, banana, caramel, and herbal hops. A bit of acetone, in a good way. I'm into it.
T: Rich, sweet, and yeasty, with the caramelized banana from the aroma coming through in spades. Some spice, booze, and honey on the finish. Maybe a trifle too sweet, but delicious.
M: Soft, creamy, fairly full body. Lovely.
O: I was expecting something a little crazier, but this was just a delicious Weizenbock. Plain and simple.

From 08/30/12 notes. Had this on tap at Blind Tiger in NYC. Served in a 10 oz. tulip.
a - Pours a hazy reddish brown color with one inch of off white head and moderate carbonation evident.
s - Smells of sweet dark fruits, fruity malts, lightly sour fruits, sour cherries, light funk. Very nice sweet and sour fruity nose; I like it a lot.
t - Tastes of sour cherries, sweet dark fruits, wine, oak, fruity malts. Taste is more sour than the nose was, though still not too much sourness.
m - Medium body and moderate carbonation, body is pretty smooth. Doesn't feel like 7.5% ABV.
o - Overall a really nice weizenbock. Kind of a mix of a sweet fruit beer and a slightly sour cherry beer. Very easy to drink and something I'd certainly pick up a bottle of if I saw it in the store.

Thanks to Beermasons for this and pours a murky blood orange hue which leaves a creamy dimple laden two finger head that stays and leaves nice lacing everywhere,the smell is banannas,sour cherries,nutmeg and funky yeast,the mouthfeel is medium bodied and has tastes of orange peels,banannas,wheaty bread,funky yeast,nutmeg,caramel,a touch of alcohol and finished with a full feel of blood oranges and a funky tartness and overall a nice example of the style and a pretty versatile drop that goes with most food cheers.

I don't know what I did when I synced them today, but itunes did an overwrite of all of my contacts with my husbands. Unfortunately, I never put all of my contacts directly on the computer. When I tried to do a restore, it only gave me the option of today's sync which contains HIS contacts. After doing some research, I found a backup file with a date from December.

From the Print Edition:
John F. Kennedy, Nov/Dec 98
(continued from page 3)

Dear Marvin,
I was spending a week with several friends in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and the week was coming to a close. On this particular day everyone had decided to go snowmobiling, discouraged from skiing because of harsh weather conditions earlier that week. I decided to stay behind, and was rewarded by some great powder skiing through the Jackson Hole trees and slopes as a result of a surprise inch-an-hour snowfall.
When I got back to the cabin after a fantastic day on the slopes, I made the wonderful discovery that I had brought a cigar along for the trip (an Ashton). I was overjoyed because I had been unable to find any hand-rolled cigars in the little ski town and had forgotten that I had brought one from home.
After an hour in the sauna and a long shower, I pulled on my robe and got out the Ashton. The setting to enjoy my smoke could not have been better; the cabin was beautifully decorated. It had a vaulted ceiling over the sitting room, which was equipped with a two-story stone fireplace adorned with a lovely mounted elk head. I lit a fire, then turned the TV and phone off. I poured a glass of good Bourbon and got settled in a chair between the fireplace and the big picture window, which looked out on the mountains and valleys of Wyoming at sunset. I lit the cigar and took a puff, had some Bourbon, and enjoyed the tranquillity and beauty of the landscape and colors of the sky with a good cigar.

Dear Marvin,
I think I know how subjects felt at the Inquisition. To find out, just try going through the border crossing at the U.S./Canada border.
On my return to the United States during a recent car trip to Montreal, I was, upon first sight, grilled like a salmon filet. After answering the INS officer's arrow-tipped questions, I was asked to pull into a garage for inspection. When they went through my belongings, they eyed my Ziplock bag full of cigars, which had not been concealed but tossed on the top of my travel bag. Now, to be honest, some were Cubans that I purchased in Montreal, but many were Dominicans that I had brought with me from the United States. In any case, none of the cigars had a band on them. I suppose, foolishly, I was under the impression that if they had no bands on them that I could safely bring my cigars into the United States.

The Acer Liquid S2 is a new 6-inch rival to the Samsung Galaxy Note that brings both 4G data connection and ultra-high-definition 4K video.
Pricing not available
Although we dinged its predecessor because of its inflated price tag, the Samsung S2 Portable hard drive earns high marks and our recommendation for being reasonably priced, having fast file-transfer speed, and for having a generous three-year warranty.
Creative's diminutive Bluetooth PC speaker system delivers impressive sound for such a compact package.
The Samsung Galaxy S2 is back in the shape of the Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus, with Jelly Bean -- but not here in Britain.
Acer has lifted the lid on a host of new tech, including a smartphone that shoots in 4K.
In this video you'll get up close and personal with Acer's new S2 smart phone. It shoots video in 4K, but how useful will that really be?
6-inch smartphones might not be anything new, but the Acer Liquid S2 stands out by shooting video in 4K resolution.
The Jelly Bean version of Android is now available for AT&T subscribers who own the Samsung phone.

The wildcat is as named, one bad mother! This shoe is by far the most comfortable trail shoe I've ever owned. The tread pattern also grabs the trails in almost any condition (except ice, but then just add screws or spikes to the shoes). I did have concerns about the soft upper, but my feet have been protected thanks to the toe guard. I have ran with this shoe for two years with two pair(one is an older model), which are both still in decent condition despite the abuse from rocks, roots and other trail hazards.
Hikes:-3 different moderately strenuous 10 mile hikes climbing 1000-2000 feet in elevation.Sizing:-I'm usually 10.5 neutral arch and neutral stride. I had to size up to 11 because my feet are slightly wider. 44.5 fit nice and perfectly snug. I had about half inch of room in front of my toes so they didn't bang the front when I was stomping down hill. No heel lift and no blisters.Pros:-Lightweight-Super breathable-Great traction-Stiff sole provide excellent stability and supportCons:-No durability issues yet
Very happy with this shoe, although had to return it for a larger size. It's cut a bit narrow, but has a good size toe box that is great. I'm a 10.5 and had to go to a 44.5 in this shoe.I'ts vedry stable on the trail and good support all around. It's very light and breaths well. Good looking too!!!
After my sweet 3 month old black lab decided to make a snack out of my old trail runners, I was in the market for some puppy approved shoes. Hiking fourteeners, being a bad a**, and backpacking in tennis shoes is just not cool or comfortable. So now that my black lab is a 11 month old young man (and his shoe chewing is in the past... I think). I invested in these bad boys. Super light and comfortable. Perfect for day hiking and backpacking (if you have good ankles). And the precious black lab angel won't dare stick a canine on it. Pretty much what I am saying is that these bad boys are perfect for anyone and anything. I would highly recommend.
I really dig these shoes for runs both on and off trail but more so when i'm not on pavement. This is the second pair of Sportiva runners I have had and I came back for a reason. I really like the support I feel like I had laterally on the trail. The cushioning is just right for my liking and the distances I put in. As for the GTX liner I sometimes wonder why I go for shoes with a waterproof liner since when its raining water is certainly going to get into the shoe over the top. However, when the rain stops, I found the puddles are no match and my feet stay dry. As for the sizing I feel they are true to size, especially if you know and use the euro sizes.
These are my favorite running shoes. They absorb much more shock them my Brooks ASR7 Adrenalines. There is a flap on the tongue to stuff the lace ends down so they wont come undone or catch on debris. They breath well and the upper is frictionless for blister free running. No break in period needed for the Wildcat. Ran 21 miles the other day and no hot spots at all. Thanks La sportiva.
This is a good looking, comfortable shoe. It handled pretty well for trail running and day hiking. However, eventually due to rubbing and abrasions when on the trail, the mesh near the little toe will break. At this point tries to slide out through the new opening and the shoe is no longer useable. I didn't track the mileage on the shoe up to this point, so while I had the shoe for a year and did many many hikes, I expected it to last a bit longer. I would not expect this kind of failure with a shoe that used more standard materials.
These shoes are great. They are my main pair of shoes for everyday use and they are wonderful. I do a lot of running around and they have a lot of support and comfort. I've also used them on light trials for easy hiking. Love the shoes and would suggest them to anyone. Cheers!
I took these bad boys with me on a Trek/Bike trip to Cusco Peru and they just preformed their little hearts out! They fit perfectly true to size 100%. I wouldn't recommend taking them to super wet climates due to the light breathable mesh/non-water proof-ness, but if you're dry they fly. Comfy soles and awesome tread, no seriously...NO seriously! They're great. Buy them.
Ok listen, i ran cross country and track in high school, 2 years ago, and i ran over 5000 miles in 4 years..(i know my running stuff) I have a PR in the mile as 4:44 and a 2 mile of 10:27. These shoes GRIP EVERYTHING on dirt, leaves, gravel, grass, you name it. now, there not the best for running on the sidewalk, but if your going on soft ground such as the terrain previously named, buy these. The rubber is so freaking sticky. the shoe is narrow so buyer beware! I have a narrow and foot and the size 10 was true to size! amazing shoe that feels like it rock with when you heel to toe transfer. ...simply incredible running shoe for the Smokies!
I have used these for pretty rough trail running & 10-20 mile dayhikes in the Tetons as well as for road running back in the city. With easily 200 miles on these, they haven't shown a sign of wear and tear. They support the whole foot well, but they are a bit light around the toes. Nonetheless, it doesn't detract from the overall feel and running experience in these. Best trail running shoes I have owned to date.

I can't find the link right now unfortunately, but there is a rather depressing photo of the duck head sitting out in a field somewhere returning to the earth, and I don't believe the vehicle (some type of amphibious landing craft?) was kept long after the event. Seems the Disco Duck was on a one-time migration... may it RIP!
