You'll find the Las Vegas Monorail gliding above traffic at speeds reaching 50 miles per hour and you should be able to cover the route in approximately 14 minutes for $5.00. However, how long will it take you to walk to your hotel after you get off the Las Vegas Monorail?
While the Las Vegas Monorail might be fast it is not always convenient. If you are in town for a convention the Las Vegas Monorail most likely will eliminate those long waits for a cab at the convention center. However, when you get back to your hotel how long will it take to get from the Las Vegas Monorail station to your room?
Check out the Las Vegas Monorail website
Depending on where you are staying, your proximity to a monorail station varies widely. If you are at the Las Vegas Hilton the station is literally right outside the door. However, if you are staying at Bally's or Paris Las Vegas your walk to the Station feels like a trek down the strip. The Las Vegas Monorail does not always prove to be the most convenient form of transportation.
Tickets are available at the each monorail station
Las Vegas Monorail Prices:
Single Ride ticket: $5.00
Three Day Pass: $28.00
Unlimited day pass: $12.00
Kids under 5 ride free
Las Vegas Monorail Hours:
Monday – Thursday: 7 a.m. to 2 a.m.
Friday – Sunday: 7 a.m. to 3 a.m.
If you are looking for information on Las Vegas transportation be sure to check the resources below that should help you find the information you need.
- Bus Service on the Las Vegas Strip
- Las Vegas Monorail information
- Las Vegas Airport Transportation
- Las Vegas Transportation Options
The Las Vegas Monorail Stations:
Bally's / Paris Station /
Flamingo / Caesars Palace Station
Harrah's / Imperial Palace Station
Las Vegas Convention Center Station
Should you take the Las Vegas Monorail?
If you are in town for a convention, the Las Vegas Monorail will get you to the convention center and it will save you time and money. However, not all conventions are held at the convention center.
If you are staying at the MGM Grand the Las Vegas Monorail Station is somewhat out of the way but it is still close enough to make it convenient to access other Las Vegas strip hotels. If you are traveling with others you might find that sharing the cost of a taxi will get you more convenient service for less money.
If you get on the monorail at Harrah's on a Friday night and plan on getting to the MGM Grand there might not be a faster ride in town. Remember, if there is a lot of traffic on the strip (and it seems like there always is) a taxi driver will have to work around the traffic and that might be time consuming and high blood pressure rate inducing.
Utilize the monorail as part of your many options to transportation while in Las Vegas but not as your only means of getting around.

Articles by Bill Griffin
It's All About Price
Oh, we'd certainly like to think otherwise, but when it comes right down to it, price is what bidding is all about. The customer's goal is to determine which company can provide the best service at the most competitive price.
The Art And Science Of Pricing
Technology as well as customer expectations are continually changing with growing emphasis on green, sustainable processes and products that are safe, healthy and environmentally friendly.
Change Is On The Floor
When it comes to excitement in the cleaning industry, floor care is center stage for cutting-edge innovation and technology.
Gazing Toward The Horizon
As I travel the country performing third-party certification audits, I see the best of the best operations and organizations.
Bidding In Healthcare Environments
There is opportunity and potential profit in the cleaning of hospitals, healthcare facilities and medical-related offices.
Innovations For The Ages
Goals are like a road map — okay, maybe a global positioning satellite (GPS) because nobody uses physical road maps anymore — they help you get where you want to go and their importance should not be taken lightly.
The Push For Higher Productivity
The processes and equipment exist today that allow a person to clean at 10,000 square feet per hour or more and do an excellent job.
Sustainable Education Programs
December 6, 2012 in Orlando, Florida, will mark CMI's second session of the Sustainable Cleaning for Educational Facilities program held in partnership with Cleaning Consultant Services Inc.
The Cleaning Bell Rings
Instead of trying to get more people to come the ISSA/INTERCLEAN trade show and fudging the numbers when they don't show up, we should take the show to the masses via live streaming video on the Internet.
Business Has Never Been Better
Environmental issues are bringing what we do to protect buildings, surfaces and occupants to the forefront, and it's a natural transition to accept the challenge and turn it into opportunity.

Among independents, a recent movement has proven you can do an awful lot with very little — especially when limited to one set, as ATM and Brake nearly do.
One of summer's most-anticipated films yet to be released is screening early for charity, and you're invited! Just don't expect what to know for sure what you're seeing until the lights go down.
At 6 p.m. Aug. 7 at Harkins Bricktown Cinemas, 150 E. Reno, Citizens Caring for Children hosts "A Night at the Movies." For a $50 ticket, not only do you gain admission, but get treated to hors d'oevures (or "snacks," if you don't speak fancy), drinks, popcorn, swag bags and the opportunity to take part in a silent auction featuring movie memorabilia.
It's all for a good cause, as CCC is a nonprofit organization that provides shoes, clothes, books, school supplies and more to Oklahoma foster children. All proceeds from the event directly benefit the organization, so call 753-4099 or visit citizenscaringforchildren.org to secure your ticket.
But to play detective, if the "pre-screening of one of this summer's blockbuster hits" claim is legit, my money's on The Bourne Legacy, for three reasons:
1. The movie opens three days later.
2. There's a press screening of Legacy scheduled at Harkins that night.
3. One of its producers, Frank Marshall, is no stranger to doing good deeds for Oklahoma charities. Remember when he brought Matt Damon to town for the premiere of the last Bourne movie?
Hey, that's just my guess. I possess no insider knowledge. If I'm wrong, then my alternate pick is ParaNorman, because I can't picture a charity going gung-ho for The Expendables 2. As cool as that would be. —Rod Lott
Friday, ongoing
What is The Secret of Crickley Hall? Well, if I told you, it wouldn't be a secret. The less juvenile answer: It's a superb BBC limited series that'll plunk you in the proper Halloween spirit.
You are our sunshine, but not our only sunshine. That honor also belongs to Lee Chang Dong's film Secret Sunshine, a South Korean film The New York Times penned "as dense and gripping as a great novel." The movie screens as part of Oklahoma City University Film Institute's film series 2 p.m. Sunday at Kerr McGee Auditorium, NW 27th Street and McKinley Avenue. Admission is free. Call 208-5472 or visit okcu.edu.
The secret's out: The Secret Garden Spring Festival is a fun (and sightly) way to spend your day. The family-friendly fest includes such awesome things as jump roping, movies, a scavenger hunt (!) and a class designed to help kids make their own secret gardens. Activities begin 10 a.m. Friday at Myriad Botanical Gardens, 301 W. Reno Ave., and run through May 18. Admission is free for members and $3-$5 for non-members. Call 445-7080 or visit myriadgardens.org.

JOPLIN, Mo. —
For members of Generations Free Will Baptist Church, Sunday was a day of celebration and remembrance as the congregation held its first service in its new home. The previous church, at 2301 Connecticut Ave., was destroyed in the tornado on May 22, 2011.
After their original two-story church was leveled, church officials decided last year to rebuild at the same location. Some tornado-ravaged churches either opted to or had to rebuild elsewhere in the city, but for head pastor Jerald Bass, the decision to keep Generations at the same location was the one that made the most sense.
"There is some emotional stress tied to the fact that this was the only home that some of our people have ever known," Bass said. "This is the same lot where we were before, and it's familiar to a lot of people, but it is a brand-new building for us to worship in."
Church members broke ground on the $1.45 million, 11,000-square-foot church last July, and Sunday marked their first service in their new home.
"This is a tremendous blessing for us," said Beth Smith, one of the members. "It has been a long year and a half with a lot of prayer and hard work, but this has been worth it."
Johniestet Hodges, chairman of the board of trustees for the church, said the new building serves as a reminder of the families who have built their lives around the church.
"We renamed ourselves Generations a few years back because we want families to be raised inside of the church and to know this as their home," Hodges said. "We want our future to have a home in the past and families to continue to know a future here."
Hodges said that while the construction was relatively quick, the congregation had help from churches across the country.
"We only came in at about 1 percent over budget," he said. "We knew what we wanted to have done here, and we were also helped with donations from people that had heard our story. We had materials donated from other churches that had closed their doors, and part of their homes live here now."
Bass said church officials are still working on some finishing touches.
"We haven't put in our PA or our AV equipment, but that is coming soon," he said. "We were just excited to get back in here and to celebrate."
The church will hold an official opening celebration on Sunday, April 7.
Last place standing
Pastor Jerald Bass and about 20 members of Generations Free Will Baptist Church were in the church when the tornado hit, taking shelter in a classroom that survived. "We were blessed to have found the one place still left standing there," Bass said. "God was looking out for us that day."

Gil McCutcheon, 95, passed away on Wednesday night.
McCutcheon served as the Mount Vernon commissioner on the Fairfax County Park Authority Board for 18 years and was an instrumental part of many local projects, including the acquisition and planning of Laurel Hill.
Born in Alton, Illinois, McCutcheon studied engineering at the Virginia Military Institute. He received a degree in public administration from UNC-Chapel Hill and also studied personnel administration and labor relations at Columbia University. He has been a resident of Fairfax County for almost 60 years.
He worked as a collective bargaining agent for the State of New Jersey and went on to work for the Commission for Conciliation at the U.S. Department of Labor; Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, where he was a part of the passage of the Labor-Management Relations Act. He retired from the federal government in 1982 after 40 years of service.
McCutcheon was appointed to the Fairfax County Park Authority Board in 1992 and served as the vice chairman of the board from 2000 until 2005. During his tenure on the Park Authority Board, McCutcheon was a key player in many local Park Authority projects. He was a key player in the acquisition of Lamond Community Park and ensured the preservation of the home on that park site. He presided over the renovations of the Mount Vernon RECenter and helped develop the Mount Vernon Nights concert series at Grist Mill Park. He was also an instrumental part in developing the parkland that was formerly a part of the Lorton Reformatory, now known as Laurel Hill.
In 2008, McCutcheon was honored with the Distinguished Volunteer Service Award from the Virginia Recreation and Parks Society and the Lawrence V. Fowler Award from the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors.
McCutcheon was a dedicated volunteer who served as the Market Master for the Mount Vernon Farmers Market and as president of the Frying Pan Park Governing Board.
Fairfax County Park Authority Chairman Bill Bouie lauded McCutcheon for his work in acquiring hundreds of acres of land dedicated to recreation and adding more green space in the Mount Vernon District.
"Gil will be sorely missed by his friends on the board, but even more so by the citizens of Fairfax County who he was a champion for the many years that he served," said Bouie. "He was my friend."
McCutcheon is survived by his wife, Frances, and daughter, Bonnie.
A memorial service is currently being planned. Be sure to check Patch for future updates.

The chance of dry thunderstorms and lightning throughout the region prompted the National Weather Service issued a Red Flag Warning for Los Angeles County Tuesday afternoon.
The thunderstorms could accompany dry and erratic winds and the San Gabriel Mountains were identified as a "main area of concern," according to the NWS. The "isolated to scattered high based thunderstorms" could begin Tuesday night and last through Wednesday, NWS said.
"The storms will contain little in the way of rainfall and have the potential for dry lightning strikes and gusty erratic winds," the warning states. "Any dry lightning activity could result in fire starts due to the recent heat wave and very dry fuels."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The local American Red Cross and Goodwill organizations are teaming up to better serve people in Tennessee during a crisis.
The Tennessee Volunteer Region of the American Red Cross provides assistance such as shelter but isn't able to take donations of clothing or household goods due to limited resources to sort through and distribute the donations.
But in a partnership that will be announced on Friday, the Red Cross is teaming up with Goodwill Industries of Middle Tennessee's Goodwill Cares program to take donations during disaster relief.
In exchange, Goodwill will provide the Red Cross with Goodwill Cares gift cards that can be given to those who have suffered a loss. The cards can be used to purchase clothes or household items at any Goodwill store in Middle Tennessee.

A raccoon realtor, an owl museum curator, and a turtle ship's captain - we must be in the world of Animal Crossing: New Leaf. So how does the latest in the Animal Crossing series compare to the rest? Grab your shovel, we're digging in.
The story starts out the same as any other Animal Crossing game; you've left home to make your way in the world on your own. The story takes a new twist when your train pulls into the new town. Instead of becoming a villager, you are mistaken for the new mayor. There is no getting out of it either, your new assistant is very insistent that you are the new mayor.
After settling in, the story follows your cues as the game moves into its life simulation mode. That means that no two players will have the same game. It becomes what you make of it with no ending in sight.
Controls and Gameplay
Animal Crossing: New Leaf is a life simulation game. In-game time flows by in real time, so there is no rush to do things and there is never a lack of things to do. Fishing, catching bugs, gardening, and chatting with fellow villagers are just a few of your options. There are some goals for you to achieve as well; improving your home, filling the museum with exhibits and improving the village.
The last part takes shape in a few ways. As in the rest of the series you can pull weeds, plant flowers, and chop down or plant tress. Since you are mayor you also have the ability to enact Public Works Projects. These projects allow you to gather donations from villagers to build objects ranging from street lamps to fountains, to bridges, and even new shops in the main street area. Another mayoral perk are Ordinances. These allow you to tailor the way the town functions. If you are a night owl you can enact an ordinance that keeps shops open late. If you're a early bird you can do the opposite.
Animal Crossing: New Leaf takes advantage of the 3DS' various features. With the Street Pass it will download copies of other people's homes that you can then visit and buy furniture items out of. At the Able Sisters store you eventually get a sewing machine that lets you import and export clothing designs via QR codes. Lastly, you can visit other players towns (or they can visit yours) via local connection or the internet.
Graphics and Sound
One thing that has been consistent about the Animal Crossing series is its graphics and sound. Animal Crossing: New Leaf continues that legacy. Graphically it is a simple cartoony world dipped in a touch of anime with all the characters having small bodies and big heads.
All the villagers speak in a fast talking gibberish and if you listen hard it vaguely resembles words. As always their conversations are revealed via word balloons. The music is light and fun with familiar themes from the past woven in. K.K. Slider the singing dog returns to give a special performance every Saturday, but as a bonus he now also works as a DJ in Club LOL on Main Street giving, nightly performances.
The Animal Crossing series has been one of the few games I have played every version of. It's a great game to relax with when you just want to do nothing for a few hours. Animal Crossing: New Leaf on one hand keeps the low demanding life sim gameplay, but breathes new life into the game with your new role as mayor. I still lose hours catching fish, bugs or just making designs for clothing to earn Bells, which allow me to pay for new items and expansions to my home. But with Public Works Projects, I can now also put those Bells towards improving the village. It is a game that you get out of it what you put into it.
It's still fun to find fossils, chat up the kooky villagers, and sit in a boat listening to Kapp'n singing his odd sea shanties. Animal Crossing: New Leaf hits a nice balance between the classic gameplay we all know and love with new elements to keep things interesting. I give Animal Crossing: New Leaf a 4.5 out of 5.
Animal Crossing: New Leaf is rated E for Everyone for Comic Mischief by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB).

MILLBROOK — Quarterback Caleb Lindsey ran for a pair of touchdowns and passed for two more, as Tabernacle Christian breaks through to a winning record for the first time this season with a 42-18 win at New Life Christian in a Christian Football Association eight-man game.
The Torches jumped on the Eagles early, taking the lead right off the opening kickoff with a 75-yard return by Tristan Castro. New Life answered with a 75-yard score on their first play from scrimmage, but it was all Tabernacle from there as they reeled off four straight scores.
Lindsey scored on a 9-yard run in the first quarter and a 2-yard run in the second. He found Austin Hamlett for 18 yards and a touchdown, then hit Castro for a 53-yard strike just before halftime to give the Torches a 42-12 advantage at the break.
The second half was played under a running clock.
Lindsey was 7-for-11 passing for 108 yards. Castro caught five receptions for 84 yards and ran eight times for 69 yards, as Coach Keith Dabbs spread the offense around a bit.
Tabernacle (4-3, 2-1 CFA) tries to clinch home-field advantage in the CFA semifinals with a win at home next week against First Assembly Christian.

As the year draws to a close, we've been reflecting on all the wonderful books published in 2010, and in doing so, we've also realized there are some classics worth revisiting. The authors and friends of Oxford University Press are proud to present this series of essays, which will appear regularly until the New Year, drawing our attention to books both new and old. Below Gordon Campbell, author of Bible: The Story of the King James Version, 1611-2011, tells us why the KJV is worth reading in 2011.
Of the current Oxford World's Classics, the best Christmas gift this year would be The Bible: Authorized King James Version, which has been skillfully edited with an elegant introduction and really helpful notes by Robert Carroll and Stephen Prickett.
This would be a timely gift, because 2011 will be the quatercentenary of the publication of the King James Bible in 1611. In the UK the King James Bible Trust is coordinating a huge number of celebratory events, including conferences, lectures and exhibitions; it is to be hoped that other Anglophone countries will make a similarly joyful noise. This is, after all, the greatest monument of English prose, and the noble simplicity of its language had endeared it to generations of readers and listeners. The latter group is particularly important, because the King James Version was 'appointed to be read in churches', and so was written to be read aloud. That objective accounts for the pulse of the prose ('she gave me of the tree and I did eat', for example, is a perfect iambic pentameter line), which in turn makes the King James Version the most memorable of translations. Indeed, that is true in a literal sense: more modern translations may use an accessible idiom, but the rhythm of the King James Version makes it easy to memorize.
The King James Bible is the most widely read of all English translations, but it is also the version most often heard. In music, for example, Handel's Messiah uses the King James Version, as do the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols and English settings of the Nunc dimittis: 'Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: for mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou has prepared before the face of all people; a light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel'. At a humbler level, countless nativity plays in primary schools begin with the words 'and it came to pass in those days that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed'. Anyone not moved by such passages must have a ears of tin and a heart of stone, but even those of stony heart and tin ears may be carried to their final resting place to the sound of words that console those who remain: 'and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain'. English prose doesn't get any better than that, and it's all yours for £11.99 ($18.95). Buy it for your friends at Christmas.
Gordon Campbell is Professor of Renaissance Studies at University of Leicester. His recent books for OUP include The Oxford Dictionary of the Renaissance (2003), Renaissance Art and Architecture (2004), The Grove Encyclopedia of Decorative Arts (2 vols, 2006), Milton and the manuscript of 'De Doctrina Christiana' (2007), The Grove Encyclopedia of Classical Art and Architecture (2 vols, 2007), John Milton: Life, Work and Thought (2008) and The Grove Encyclopedia of Northern Renaissance Art (3 vols, 2009). In October OUP published his Bible: The Story of the King James Version, 1611-2011 and his 400th anniversary edition of the Bible. He has previously written this post for OUPblog.
4 Responses to "The Greatest Monument of English Prose"
This is incorrect. The version of the Nunc Dimittis usually heard set to music in Engish is that of the Book of Common Prayer (BCP).
The BCP retained the texts of the earlier Great Bible for the psalms and canticles. It did not update them to the King James version.
In the case of the Nunc Dimittis, the Great Bible
has "to be a Light to lighten the Gentiles"; the words "to be" were omitted in the King James translation.

I have read somewhere that the first and greatest monument of the English Language is the King James Bible, the second is Shakespeare, but which is the third? Thanks a lot.

|Harlan Melo, 90
|Written by TRF Times
Thief River Falls - Harlan Melo, 90, formerly of Newfolden, died on Sunday, Dec. 18, 2011 at Thief River Care Center in Thief River Falls.
Funeral Service were held Thursday, Dec. 22 at Westaker Lutheran Church, Newfolden, with Pastor Phil Rokke officiating. Casket bearers included Harlan's grandchildren. Interment was held at Oak Grove Cemetery, Newfolden.
Harlan LeRoy Melo was born March 10, 1921 in Argyle, the son of Conrad and Inga (Hanson) Melo. He was baptized on July 11, 1921 by Reverend Theodore Myhre in the Evangelical Free Church. Harlan was later confirmed as a young man. He attended country school through 8th grade and then attended Newfolden High School, graduating in 1939.
Following high school, Harlan helped his father on the farm. On March 3, 1945 he proudly entered the Service with the United States Army. He served during the Korean Conflict as a cook, performing the duties in the A-PTO as a member of the 257th Replacement Company, 1st Replacement Battalion. Harlan supervised eight enlisted cooks and 35 enlisted kitchen police in the functioning of a general mess hall. Harlan and his men supervised the preparation of three meals per day, all courses for up to 5,500 personnel. He was honorably discharged on October 21, 1946.
When Harlan returned from the service, he farmed with his father near Newfolden. It was during this time that he started dating Doreen Anderson. After a few years he was able to move to his own farm in New Main Township, Marshall County. On November 20, 1953 he and Doreen were united in marriage at the Lutheran Free Church in Newfolden. The couple made their home on Harlan's farm. They were blessed with three children: Lynn, Darla, and Jeff.
For several years after their marriage Harlan worked for the Successful Farming Magazine as a salesman. All throughout his adult life, Harlan enjoyed playing music and was a member of area bands, including "The Northern Lights."
On October 20, 1966, Harlan and his family moved to his father's farm. In 1994 Doreen passed away. Harlan continued to live there until 1997, then moved to Newfolden. For the last 7 ½ years he has resided at the Thief River Care Center.
Some of Harlan's favorite pastimes included listening to the "Trumpet of Truth," every Sunday evening on the local radio station, playing bingo, listening to music, and watching Wheel of Fortune. When he was farming, Harlan's biggest passion was his animals. He had a great love for all animals, taking excellent care of every one of them. His children and grandchildren were very important to him and were a great source of pride.
Survivors include his children, Lynn (Lynette) Melo of Champlin, Darla (Frank) Scouten of Zimmerman, Jeffrey (Terri) of Wyoming; grandchildren, Joshua Melo of Duluth, Jeremy Melo of Champlin, currently serving in Kuwait, Nicholas Scouten of Elk River, Joseph Scouten of Minneapolis, Andrew Scouten of Zimmerman, Sean Winters of Alliance, Neb., and Matthew Melo, Forest Lake; brothers, Vergil Melo of Fargo, N.D., and Merle Melo of Richfield, and several nieces and nephews.
Preceding Harlan in death were his wife, Doreen; his parents; brother, Wendell Melo, and sister, Madell Melo.

Bottle purchased from Friar Tuck's in Savoy, IL.
No bottled on date.
Poured into a Weihenstephaner hefeweizen glass.
Pours a fairly large (>4cm) head of very compressed, fine off-white bubbles, giving a very dense, foamy appearance that just starts to begin looking pillowy. Head breaks down over the course of several minutes to remain a thin ring around the glass with an island or two. Some spotty lacing is left. Body color is a dark golden yellow orange color away from light, a pale gold-orange when held to it. Semi-hazy, can still see distorted images through the glass, but there is suspended yeast and larger particles. Carbonation visible, rather sluggish.
Aroma of ripe bananas, musty yeast, and wheat malt on the sweet side. Also features mellow lemon citrus and a faint mineral character. Good, and rather distinctive.
Taste opens with sweetness from malt alongside gentle, but very noticeable tartness of a citrus nature. This fades out and ushers in some banana and clove flavors, along with continuing light tartness. Slight mineral notes creep in later on, probably from yeast. Aftertaste is of banana, light lemon citrus, and yeast.
Carbonation is a bit active, so this is initially felt on the palate, but not in an unpleasant way. Thus, mouthfeel is tingly, transitioning to fairly smooth. Body is about medium, arguably medium-light, and carbonation is adequate to support it.
While the freshness of the bottle is uncertain, I still really enjoyed this hefeweizen. Having many of this style lately, I thought the distinct flavor combinations in this one were a relief from the typical.

Pint bottle poured in a pilsner glass.
A: Poured a clearish head, two fingers thick. The color is a straw-orange sort of color, opaque and cloudy, but well carbonated.
S: Hoppy and fruity, nice smell. Some banana essences.
T: Initial spiciness, finishes clear with no bite.
M: Maybe a bit watery. So smooth.
O: In finishing this beer, I realized it may not have been the most complex beer, but it was tasty and smooth and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5
Appearance - Typical hefeweizen look, maybe a touch more carbonation activity than the normal high amount, and a bunch of suspended black flakes in the beer but I don't know what they are. The lacing is a uniform coat in my tall glass.
Smell - The typical hefeweizen smell, with the banana and spice.
Taste - Above average sweetness for a hefe, the banana/fruit flavor is up front ands clean with a hint of booze near the end. This one lacks a wheat malt finish though. I'm kind of mixed in the taste. I like the stronger/sweeter banana character in a hefeweizen but I also need a wheat finish to balance it out. This one doesn't have that.
Mouthfeel - Smoother than the avergae hefe, and the carbonation is well controlled despite the active appearance.
Drinkability - If you like the style or this beer in particular you can have a lot of them.

17oz bottle picked up today at Tres Bonne Cuisine for $3.50... poured into my small weizen glass...
very pretty creamy looking 2 finger head popped out over the top of the glass... the brew is expected cloudy honey golden.
Clove and banana in the nose.. of course... soft bready sweetness..
Quite a bit of banana in this one.. more than expected.. again.. pretty bready maltiness.. The mouthfeel is soft.. and the carbonation is on the light side lending a little to the heavy side.
Pretty good.. but not a benchmark in my mind...

This beer was brewed in Kempten,Germany. The appearance is slightly hazy, and the color is a amber yellow with a green hue when it reflects in the light. The head was big and fizzy like a sparkling wine. The nose had a grass and clove aroma to it. The taste is much more of what was in the nose a fresh cut grass,herbal,with a nice oily clove finish.

On-tap at Hollingshead's, on to the beer:
This beer appears a hazy blonde, not as cloudy as other hefewiezens. The smell is good and dominant of ripe bananas and assorted fruit. The taste beings with banana and soft phenols. There's some trace of wheat malt and soon apricot notes appear. The body is light and semi-crisp, perhaps a little watety from the tap. Fairly clean aftertaste. As a thirst buster, this one does the job.

Served on tap at Concordia Ale House, Portland, OR.
Pint was presented with a thick white foamy head, cloudy straw-yellow color. Smelled of yeast and citrus, mild spiciness. Taste was quite citrusy at first - almost sour - but became mellow with the yeasty bready flavors following. Was more carbonated than some hefes I've had, so it had a bit of that fizzy tingle.
Overall, a very nice (though not spectacular) hefeweizen. I would enjoy this beer again. It went especially well with the ravioli with lemon and capers on which we were dining.

Found in a Moscow grocery store, the brown half liter bottle sports a gold and blue label featuring an etching of a baroque church, the coat of arms, and a brief history lesson about Kempten. Purity law applies, of course. Best before 7/29/06, I opened it to celebrate President's Day, 2/20/06.
Pours a nice hazy yellow gold under a 1.5 finger white head with lots of body and nice staying power. Strings of lace abound. Good smooth nose of coriander and yeast. The mouth is light and well carbonated. Mild flavor profile, with wheat and yeast both present but far from overpowering. Spices are here, too - a dash of coriander and a splash of lemon. No discernible hops flavor until well after the finish, with a shadow of bitterness wafts across the back of the palate. There are bolder versions of this style, but this one is a rock solid rendition.

Presentation: Yet another example of a Multi-variant Germanic Style from the Braumasters at Allgäuer Brauhaus. This Allgäuer Fürstabt has a Gold colored main and V-Shaped neck label with the word Hefeweizen in a small thin red band. Painted white crown cap completes the presentation. Just as the BA Database picture my sample arrived in a 1 Pint 0.9 fluid ounce standard tall looking brown glass bottle. No strength or observable freshness date. Lots of German on the label, but a small partial English translation lists this as Premium Weizen.
Appearance: Slightly hazed tangerine orange body that infuses the body with a nectarine blush when backlit from my desk lamp. Smooth minute bubbled head forms a cloud like off-white blanket that carpets the body and remains at least ½ thick throughout. Nice lacing and above average carbonation.
Nose: Thick banana toffee and chewy cloves in this one. The yeast takes a back seat here and is domiciled by the stronger fruity aspects.
Taste: Cloves, banana toffee and sweetish malts, yet again, hey I wasnt surprised either. Tasty stuff though and thicker than the Kristallweizen at times. Much more cloves and banana toffee in this one than I would usually take to for a Session beer. A little one-dimensional as such.
Mouthfeel: Another smooth yet slick chewy brew that imparts an amazingly soft talcum carbonated feel on the tongue and cheeks. Decent presence.
Drinkability: A decent enough Hefeweizen but nothing to keep my interest beyond this bottle to be honest. Average.
Q: What tastes the almost the same, yet comes in 3,965 different variants??
A: German Wheat Bier
I think I preferred the Fürstabt Kristallweizen, though after trying the Gazillion takes on the same Wheat Beer Im not sure I could really tell the difference if Im brutally honest. Why is it that so many German Breweries make so many different Wheat Beers that all sort of taste alike?..maybe its just me right?!. Cost $1.99 like all but one of the other Allgäuer Brauhaus beers that I picked up this weekend. Worth trying, just to see if you can tell the difference from all the other Allgäuer Wheat beer variants ;-))

Appearance Nice, murky orange in color with a big head that disappeared in seconds.
Smell The yeast comes out nicely at the nose along with a fruity orange aroma.
Taste I like the flavor of this ale. The yeast is there and the fruits are significant but not overpowering. It lacks dimension, though, and is kind of bland.
Mouthfeel This was the weizens weak point, IMO. The ale was flatter than a pancake, making the flavors heavy instead of light and fluffy.
Drinkability This went down OK, but its not what comes to mind when I think of hefeweizen. The mouthfeel was a backbreaker for this effort by Allgauer.

The color is slightly darker than some, pouring a light amber color that looks like "apple cider", and it has the haze to go along with it. The creamy white head holds fairly well before dropping to a thin surface covering, but it leaves no lacing. The nose is more fruity and citrusy than most, and offers more berries and lemon than banana. Spiciness is also limited; but it does offer some bready malt (which is unusual). The body is light/medium; and it's fine carbonation is lower than many examples at around 2.7 volumes CO2/liter. It gives just a gentle zest on the tongue that awakens the tastebuds and enhances the flavor. The yeast character is more restrained than it is in many weizens, in terms of both aroma and flavor. It's quite a different yeast than the banana/clove Weihenstephan strain, and the fruitiness that the nose expresses carries over into the flavor with next to no banana but a splash of tart lemon. There's a very delicate spiciness present, but it's quite subtle and tends to become more apparent in the aftertaste. The sweetness of the flavor seems restrained in comparison to many, and it has a refreshingly dry, lightly tart character to it. It's interesting, refreshing, and very drinkable.

Presentation: 17oz. brown bottle with no "bottled on" or "best by" date; $1.79 from the Winehouse in West LA.
Appearance: Pours a cloudy caramel-gold with a fine, white, two-fingered head; decent retention but very little lacing.
Smell: Sweetly tart; yeasty; banana notes pervade; hints of lemon.
Taste: Soft, yeasty wheat backbone largely characterized by moderately strong banana esters, middling amounts of clove-like phenols and faint traces of lemon.
Mouthfeel: Fairly creamy and full; carbonation moderate to high and fairly fine.
Notes: Good but not great hefe. Certainly worth a drink.

Pours with a bit of foam but not as much as some German weiss. A bit light in color, but not in body. A medium-bodied weiss with a lot of yeastiness. Theyeast adds a citrus flavor to this beer (without any lemon, I don't put lemon in my hefe-weiss) that is rather pronounced. The carbonation is rather smooth making this beer quite drinkable. Not boring, but not very exciting either, this weiss offers something different compared to other weiss beers that are more phenoic with notes of banana and cloves. Basically, if you like a citric tasting weiss beer this is your baby.

It's very cloudy, more so than other hefeweizens I've had lately. The head is enormous and fluffy. It has a pretty weak aroma. I did just get over a cold though so who knows. I got some lemony zest and clove out of it, and a touch of banana. Very smooth on the palate, medium carbonation, crisp finish. The strong note of the flavor is a yeasty twang. This seems heavier on the yeast than other German hefe's. Banana is there pretty strongly as well, with a lemon background. The twang sticks around for a pleasant and refreshing aftertaste. A pleasant and refreshing brew to say the least. It's worth a try for sure, just as good as all the big names from Germany.

It was only a matter of time before the filmmaking team known as "The Butcher Brothers" would drop the slightly silly moniker and start crediting themselves as normal guys, and it only seems fitting that Mitch Altieri and Phil Flores would choose to do it with a film like Holy Ghost People. The duo has shown some skill and (better yet) improvement with each successive movie -- The Hamiltons, The Violent Kind, The Thompsons (and yes I left out April Fools Day to be kind) -- but their latest is easily their most complete, cohesive, and compelling thriller yet.
The simple gritty film works as both a dramatic piece and a thriller at the same time, and tonally it seems to borrow a little from the early indie films of David Gordon Green, which is meant as a compliment to all involved. At its best moments Holy Ghost People provides a relatively honest glimpse at a particularly strange sub-section of religion: the snake-charmers!
The setting is an isolated compound called Sugar Mountain, and it's there that young Charlotte (Emma Greenwell) hopes to find some answers as to where her sister is. The troubled girl went missing a while back and although Charlotte only has a few hundred dollars to her name, she offers it to an aimless veteran to escort her deep into the Appalachian mountains. (And no, this is not the sort of genre film that leads to vampires or stalkers. The villains here are all too human.)
Turns out that Charlotte hasn't been completely honest with Wayne (Brendan McCarthy), but the young woman and her hired hand find their way to Sugar Mountain and quickly get a taste of some seriously old-time religion. The congregation is governed by the glibly conniving Brother Billy (Joe Egender), and what the preacher lacks in age he more than makes up for in devout fanaticism. Charlotte assumes a fake name and tries to convince the flock that she's a willing newcomer; Wayne poses as her doubtful but slightly open-minded father -- and while it won't take a genius to predict what happened to Charlotte's long-lost sister, Holy Ghost People manages to touch on some compelling points before committing to its familiar but satisfying finale.
The cast is the strongest asset of the piece, although Altieri (directing solo this time) seems intent on keeping his thriller rooted firmly in a gritty, rustic reality. As for the cast, relative newcomers Greenwell and McCarthy are quite excellent, particularly in their scenes together. Mr. Egender steals numerous scenes with a quietly ominous presence that lets the viewer know they're dealing with a "true believer." Kudos also to support players like Don Harvey and Cameron Richardson for some fine work in smaller but important roles.
As important as the performances are in this sort of thriller, the screenplay (by Altieri and Flores) is smart enough to balance the kidnapping story with a frank and realistic perspective on the "Holy Ghost" snake-charming congregation. In a particularly clever scene Brother Bllly acknowledges how crazy his belief system must look from the outside, so while we know that these religious "kooks" are up to no good, the movie is mature enough to play this angle very straight. This is a considerably more mature piece than the filmmakers' previous efforts, and their evolution is evident throughout much of Holy Ghost People.

Organic markets have been cutting prices. Should you buy?
This Deal of the Day comes from Kelli B. Grant at partner site SmartMoney.
Going organic has become a lot less trendy in the struggling economy.
As consumers have cut back spending, one of the first places they've looked to save is in the organics aisle at the grocery store. Sixty percent of consumers say they have changed their organic purchasing habits since the recession hit, according to a December study from market researcher Mintel. Three percent have stopped buying organic altogether.
- Bing: Organic meat and poultry
The single biggest factor: price. Consumers have nicknamed Whole Foods "Whole Paycheck" for its high prices, and the store has struggled with that image over the last year, says Michelle Chang, an analyst who covers the supermarket industry for Morningstar. One thing that Whole Foods and other natural retailers have done to retain customers is cut prices to stay competitive. Whole Foods has also been pushing its lower-priced private label, which includes organics, she says.
When is the higher price of organics worth it? Here are five ways to shop within your budget:
A guide to using your coupon without demonstrating to the server that you're stupid or cheap.
Lots of restaurants are so desperate for business right now that dining coupons are relatively easy to come by. (And we help you locate them every week.) That being said, there's nothing wrong with using a little etiquette while you're getting 20% off, or two dinners for the price of one, or a free appetizer or piece of cheesecake.
It appears that some of you have been acting like jerks. Hanna Raskin observes in a post at Slashfood that "coupon users tend to be among the most impolite diners."
To avoid being that person, read her tips. Among them:
For most homeowners, insulation gives you the best bang for your buck, but you might want to start with an energy audit.
If you live in an older home, you may be looking at old windows, old doors, an old furnace and high power bills -- and wondering which improvement would save you the most money on energy costs.
Tax credits of up to $1,500 per homeowner, for 30% of the cost of energy-saving improvements, make 2010 a good year to tackle some of those jobs. But which ones will give you the best bang for your buck?
Looking for online love by Valentine's Day? How to avoid getting ripped off.
This Deal of the Day comes from Kelli B. Grant at partner site SmartMoney.
Looking for someone to date can be as expensive as actually going out on one.
Subscribe to an online dating site and you can easily pay upward of $40 per month for membership; you'll pay more if you also want personalized coaching and other features to improve your odds of finding that special person. That adds up: The market for online dating is expected to reach $1.6 billion by 2013, up from $957 million in 2008, according to Forrester Research.
With online services reporting an increase in subscriptions, sites could raise their prices without losing customers, says Mark Brooks, principal consultant for Courtland Brooks, a consulting firm that works with the online dating industry. "By all accounts, online dating sites are leaving money on the table," he adds.

On a recent Friday night, we had some good frugal fun. Kris and I got together with a group of my old high school friends to go bowling and eat pizza. It was just like the good ol' days -- but with a bunch of grade-school children added to the mix.
Over pepperoni pizza and root beer, the conversation turned to the economy. I asked my brother Jeff how the family box factory is doing. "To be honest," Jeff said, "we're about to finish our best month since October 2008. And if you look at actual daily sales, this will be our best month since February 2008. It's our best month in two years."
"That's great," I said. "Maybe this means the economy has finally turned a corner."
New voluntary program gives a bigger employee discount to those who meet certain health criteria.
Upscale grocer Whole Foods has a new voluntary program to reward workers who don't use nicotine and meet specific numbers for body mass index, blood pressure and cholesterol during in-store screenings. Have the right numbers, and you get up to 30% off stuff you buy at the store. Kinda fat? You're stuck with the regular employee discount of 20%.
It's no surprise that CEO John Mackey, who has already railed against government involvement in health care -- let the all-knowing corporations take care of that! -- is getting more heat.
