TRUST ME — this task will go so much faster with the right tool. Close up the pudding shots with the lids and pop them in the freezer. Wait — can you freeze pudding shots? YES! Because these are pudding shots with alcohol (and a LOT of it, LOL),...
Learn about the fascinating history of "The World's Shortest Railway" Angels Flight Railway, with City Hall in the distance | Instagram by @mingomatic You can see it in more than a hundred movies, read about it in dozens of books and even do skateboard tricks on a video game version of it. And once again, you'll be able to ride Angels Flight. After gathering dust for four years, the legendary, century-old funicular has been rehabbed and restored to its early 1900s glory. (It has also received a few 21st century safety upgrades. ) The "world's shortest railway" is back in action, and once again you can see its famed orange and black cars running up and down Bunker Hill. Angels Flight Top Station at California Plaza | Instagram by @finalgravityus 1. What is Angels Flight? Technically, it's a funicular - a short, cable railway built on an inclined surface, often a mountainside or cliff. Funiculars have two trams or passenger cars that counterbalance each other. The two cars of Angels Flight are named Sinai and Olivet.
2. Where is it? Built into a hillside in Downtown Los Angeles, it's easy to miss this vintage gem. Angels Flight only runs for one block (298 feet to be exact), but it's a steep one. It links the Grand Central Market at the bottom to the Water Court shopping mall at the top, connecting Hill and Olive streets.

The original Angels Flight opened in 1901 — but at a different location half a block away. During its heyday, it was both a tourist attraction and a practical way for pedestrians to avoid one of Downtown L. A. 's steepest streets. Angels Flight had several owners over the decades and eventually closed in 1969. Sinai and Olivet were warehoused for 27 years until 1996, when the railway was reopened. Angels Flight was designated Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #4 in August 1962, and added to the National Register of Historic Places in October 2000.

The film stars Virginia Bruce, Dennis Morgan, Wayne Morris, and Ralph Bellamy as airline employees, flying Douglas DST airliners. The basic premise of the film follows the operational conditions of a commercial airline, while also following its stewardesses and pilots as they go through their daily routines, punctuated with the details of their personal lives. [Note 1] Plot Although "ace" commercial airline pilot, Chick Faber (Dennis Morgan) is grounded by Flight Superintendent Bill Graves (Ralph Bellamy) when a flight physical reveals that his eyesight is failing. Aided by stewardess Mary Norvell (Virginia Bruce) and her friend, Nan Hudson (Jane Wyman), Graves persuades Chick to take a job as teacher in the school for stewardesses. While he remains at the airline, along with engineer, Artie Dixon (Wayne Morris), he continues work on the design of a secret research aircraft, he calls the "stratosphere ship" that will revolutionize commercial aviation by flying faster and higher than any current type.

Annotations [ edit | edit source] Dominenamine Bloom has either misheard or deliberately mangled the priest's In nomine Domini (Latin: In the name of the Lord), possibly conflating it with the final syllable of Paddy Dignam's name. [1] In the Roman Rite the Absolution of the Dead was said over the deceased following Requiem Mass and before the burial. Joyce omits Dignam's Requiem (is this artistic licence, or was this an acceptable practice in Dublin in 1904? ), but the Absolution begins without preamble with the prayer beginning Non intres.... So it is possible that Bloom is merely improvising. [2] Non intres in judicium cum servo tuo, Domine. ( Latin) Enter not into judgment with thy servant, O Lord. [3] These are the opening words of the prayer, based on Psalms 143, [4] that begins the Absolution of the Dead: Non Intres [5] Lord, do not call your servant to account; for no one can stand guiltless in your presence unless you grant him forgiveness of all his sins. Therefore, we pray, that in passing judgment you will not let your sentence fall heavily on one who is commended to you by the sincere prayer of Christian faith.
