Sunday, August 26
Wrigley Field
Attendance: 32,346
Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - After waiting more than a year, a two-hour, 23- minute rain delay probably felt like nothing for Chris Volstad.
Following the lengthy rain delay, Volstad took the mound and earned his first victory since July 10, 2011, leading the Chicago Cubs to a 5-0 win in a rain- shortened rubber match against the Colorado Rockies.
"It's only fitting that the day took pretty long," Volstad said.
Volstad (1-9) tossed 6 2/3 scoreless innings, holding the Rockies to three hits and three walks to snap a string of 24 consecutive winless outings.
Darwin Barney knocked in two runs for the Cubs, who have won two of three on the heels of a four-game losing streak.
Jhoulys Chacin (1-4), in his second start after returning from a three-month stint on the disabled list with a pectoral injury, was a hard-luck loser. The right-hander allowed one run on five hits in five innings.
The Cubs took the lead in the second inning. Starlin Castro crushed a long triple to right-center field. After Brett Jackson walked, Barney grounded into a fielder's choice to score Castro and put the Cubs ahead, 1-0.
Castro worked a leadoff walk in the sixth and moved to third on a pair of groundouts. Barney blooped a single into shallow center field to double the Cubs lead.
Meanwhile, Volstad crusied. He faced the minimum through three innings and did not allow a runner to reach scoring position until Tyler Colvin grounded a two-out double down the third-base line.
Following the double, Volstad walked Chris Nelson to end his day, but Manuel Corpas retired Jonathan Herrera to end the threat.
The Rockies put together a threat in the eighth inning against Shawn Camp. DJ LeMahieu delivered a two-out double and Jordan Pacheco sent a Shawn Camp slider to the warning track, but Jackson made the catch and held the Rockies scoreless.
Chicago added insurance runs in the eighth on pinch-hitter Joe Mather's sacrifice fly and Will Harris' wild pitch, which scored Jackson, and David DeJesus' RBI single.
During the eighth inning, the rain resumed and the game was called after the completion of the frame. Camp was awarded his second save of the year for his work in the eighth inning and Volstad picked up the win.
"We didn't hit today," Colorado manager Jim Tracy said. "You certainly would have liked to have those baserunners and force Chris to pitch out of the stretch a little more often than he did."

St. Odilia Comments
Saint Odilia About the year 300, Saint Odilia and ten other virgins set out from England on a pilgrimage to the East. By accident or plan the ship in which they sailed went up the Rhine. They were captured by some soldiers and taken to Cologne. There the young women were killed in defense of their Christian faith and their purity. St. Odilia's future role as the Patroness of the Order of the Holy Cross is pictured by the Crosier standard and ... Continue Reading

the first "odilia" you mention on this site (about the year 300) in reallity is St. Ursula.
Story about Ursula and her 11.000 virgines. The written 11M , where the M mistakingly was translated as mille = thousend, but should be read as Martyrer , so just 11 martyrer ladies, i the coat of arms of Cologne Germany are still these 11 tears shown.
The real Odilia lived 662-720, born blind etc. see story.

I want to make a Novena to St. Odilia to pray for me to God to heal my eyesight problem. I have Glaucoma on both eyes. She had helped so many people afflicted with eye problems and I would like for St. Odilia to include me in the prayers to the Holy Trinity to heal me and maintain good vision.
I have had the medal of St. Odilia on the shelf in my room for many months maybe a few years and seldom pray for her help. But now that I need the Lord's help, I feel she will be most helpful because she has God's favor to hear those afflicted with eyesight problems.
St. Odilia please intercede for me to Christ Jesus. Thank you. -

I am a young girl turning 17 and I am interested to know more about St. Odilia. One time I went shopping with mom. We went to this St. Vincent de Paul Shop where everything sold is donated to the needy and less fortunate. I went over the Saints' section and I started picking up the prayer cards for each St. that caught my eye. I picked up, of course, Mother Mary, St. Joseph, Divine Mercy prayer and St. Odilia. At first, when i had the first three, I turned to walk to the cashier. But something, a sort of whisper, pulled me back. As I looked back again, the first thing that caught my eye was the prayer card of St. Odilia. I don't know this St. and i thought it would be a great thing to know at least a new saint. I haven't heard of her or never seen the picture of her ever! And I keep putting the prayer card of St. Odilia on my prayer table. It's almost half a year since i bought that card and I still haven't noticed or done anything about it. Just a few days ago, I studied for my test. I took a little break and opened up the laptop and started surfing the net. I thought of what to search and the first thing that came to my mind was St. Odilia so i searched it up and now that i have read something about her, i feel inspired. i do pray that she helps me gain sight of the things around me today. I know at this stage, a lot of people my age are into experimental things and i pray that st. odilia will help me to abstain from all those things and become a better person.

Maylgt, 1918. .Application filed Ma11c11:31,:13.16. Seria1 No.:87,9.43. TocZZ whom it may concern: :Be it known that 1, -OLAF L. Hown, .of Missoula, in the county of Missoula .and State of Montananhave inventechcertain new and useful improvements in Air-Wotors; and I110 ghereby-declarethe following to be a full, 'clear, .and exact description of the invention, :such as will. enable others .skilled .in :the art .to which it appertains tomake and useithesame. My present zi-IlVQIltlOD provides. certain improvements inair motors andespecially in the type of motor shown in any pending application :for patent filed May 17, 1915, SerialrNo. -28;'t?79. :Ingthe apparatus covered :by said application; aplurality of vane sframes aremounted on an endless carrier and each frame is equipped with a series of vanes which are pivoted in the frame and free to turn to render them efi'ective or inelfective to operate the motor. The present improvements contemplate a :seriesof vanes directly mounted on carriers and each vane equipped with adjusting means, while improved means are provided for rendering the vanes ineffective. The ,garrangement ofthe carriers is such that-they "will b'e automatically thrown out of operative position in the event of excessive force striking-the vanes; k In -the drawings, Figure 1 isa' plan view; gQaside-ele'vation; Fig. 3 a cross sectional view of one ofthe vane carriers; 'Fig. 4 details of the manner of mounting the-vane carriers; Fig. 5 a perspective of one of the-vanes, and Figs. 657; 8 are deta'ils; Fig. Tshowing a rigid surfaceQl and Fig. -'8 a canvas surface; "Fig. 9 is a slight modification. Referring to the drawings, I have shown a circular-track 1 upon which the entire structure is movable, as we'll understood in the art, the main gframe- Work being mounted upon the rollers 2 which are -movable over the --traok, I and so connected thereto as to prevent derailment. I employ a I -rudder 3 which' is adapted to be turned by the wind so as to place the parts in :the proper position for action according to any c irection in which the wind may be blowing. The rudder is shown mounted upon a contral-uprightrodesecured to the framework. In line with this rod is a shaft 4 having aband wheelet from which the power ofthe motor may be taken off. By .reference to Fig. 1, it will .beseen that d have provided a pair of vane carriers '5, r6 eachhaving a bracket 7, shown indetail in Fig. etmountedupon the ,rodl. Each of these vane carriers .is adapted to be rendered inoperative whennecessary regardlessof the posltlonoftherudder '3. I "have-shown them in Fig. "1 provided with ropes or cables 8 which extend over pulleys 9.011 :the rudder '3. These ropes or cablesextend downward through the rudder and :have suitable weights A secured to them. The tendency .ofthese weights is itovmove the vane carriers from-the full "line position of Fig. 1 into the .dotteddine position. Aasecond pair of ropes or cables 10 are also secured to'the carriers and extend over pulleys .12 mounted in-the rudder frame and over a drum 13 mounted in the frame.andihavingan operating handle .14.

When it :is desired to positively render :the motor ineffective the handle 14 may be operated to turn the vane carriers 5, 6, intothe dotted line position indicated in Fig. 1. "When the carriers are in the full line position of Fig. 1 and the wind velocity becomes greater than desired for the operation of the motor this :forcewill automatically turn the carriers, overcoming the resistance of weight B, into the dotted line position, the weight B being lifted and held by the trip 14 which may riers' move to the operative or inoperative position. Each of the vanes consists of a swiveled element free to turn within certain limits, the'bodily advance of the vanes collectively v ffecting' the rotation ofthe shaft 4*. I have shown each of the vane carriers 5, 6, equipped with sprockets 16 above and beheath the series of vanes -17. The corresponding pairs of these sprocketsgare connected by chains '18. 1 The inner sprocket of each of "the carriers operates the sprocket 19 keyed upon the shaft i= through the medium of chains 20. In Figs, 5 to 8 'I have shown appropriate pieces 26 of each of the vanes is a vertically. disposed tube 24 through which passes a rod '25 forming a swivel mounting for the vane. The tubes are mounted in the .cross pieces and to one side of the center thereof by the forked members 27, Fig. 6. The rod 25 is fixedly secured to links of the chain 18 as at 28. As shown in Fig. 3, rollers 29 on the rods 25 above and beneath the vane engage track surfaces 30-to form a bearing. surface and maintain the vanes in steady position. As also shown in Fig. 3 an additional bearing at the top may be provided by vertically disposed rollers 31 mounted above rollers 29 and engaging the track surface, the track being shown in the form of an angular plate which affords surfaces for both rollers 29 and 31 and track 30 duplicated, that is, at both the inner and outer sides of the roller. In Fig. 9 is shown a slightly modified form of this feature, where the upper track 30 is only on the inside of roller 29 and the roller 31 has a double flange and engages upper and lower tracks 31 and 31. This form is equally effective in holding the vane as against lateral displacement. ' To prevent a vane in its ineffective position from being so far turned by the wind as to render it a retarding influence, I have shown in Fig. 3 a roller 32 adapted to engage a track 33. On each of the chains 18 at the point of location of a vane I have shown an are shaped plate 34 (Fig. 5) formed with a series of-holes 35 adapted to receive pins 36. These pins may be placed in any of the holes to regulate the swing of the vanes, the-pins acting as stops. I have shownthe opposite plates 34 connected by rods 37. To insure the air acting upon the vanes so as to tend to advance them and the chains .18 in the proper direction I mount the vanes vane carriers 5, 6, will be directly in the path of the air, with the result that as the air currents strike the vanesmounted between chains18 such vanes will be carried forward and around. theinner. sprockets 16, the motion thus created being communicated to the central shaft e As the vanes pass around the inner sprockets they will be auto- .matically turned about their pivots by the force of the air current striking against that .surface B, C, of the vane offering the greater resistance. The vanes will accordingly be practically parallel with the currents on the return flight being again automatically thrown broadside to the wind as they-round the outer sprockets 16 of the carriers. 1 I I claim as my invention: 1. In an air motor, a track, a able on said track, a rudder responsive to the direction of'the windand forming part of said frame, a plurality of vane carriers, means for maintaining said vane carriers in positions to resist the air force, and means for automatically moving said carriers to inefi'ective positions when the air velocity reaches a predetermined point. 2.

Hi Members.
It's that time again!
First, I have a few announcements.
Many of you knew Lisa Bortzfield who was the sole owner of A-1 Locksmiths. Lisa had been battling a form of cancer for several years, but regrettably she passed away late last week. The information I have is that the visitation will be at the Hathaway-Peterman Funeral Home in Wheatland, MO this Monday from 12:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. The funeral will be following the visitation. If you intend to attend, I suggest confirming these times and date with the funeral home.
I have also been informed that Frank with Dave's Lock had many locksmith items stolen from a service vehicle last week. The items included were an HPC, Duplicator, $600 boring jig, propane heater, and miscellaneous smaller items. Please be on the lookout if someone attempts to sell you anything of this nature
Bill Perry has sold the building that his business occupies, and will be liquidating all of his inventory and equipment in preparation for retirement. Bill swore on a stack of bibles that he will continue to come to our meetings :-). If you have interest in Bill's equipment, please call him at 816-471-5625.
Our education this month with be Philip Drive representing a company called Prodata Key. All I know is that it is a new, very economical electronic key system. It sounds very promising, and I will be very interested to see what it is about.
I hope to see everyone there.
Greg Brandt
MKLA was founded in 1956 by, and for, the benefit of locksmiths.
We meet on the second Tuesday of each month. We have a short business portion to our meetings and then an educational lesson.

It's that time of year again people. Living legends is right around the corner and I'm doing what I do every year. I start exercising harder, I triple check all my gear works, I research new things to buy or try out, I watch new videos and videos from last year, and i familiarize myself with the new names on the field.
Then I wait til the following monday to see how LL went this year.
I have never gone to living legends but now I am officially out of my parents house I have a job and I can start saving up for gear and next years LL8. So now I have a list of sh*t and I would like some reviews or alt choices.
Hopper: yes I know theres a thousand this vs this but the only good hoppers I know are prophecy rotor pinokio and the spire was almost brand new when I fell out of paintball. Is there a new competitor or did something happen to any of those? I couldn't find the spire on ansgear and I heard G.I. sports were coming out with something but I haven't heard anything about it. Also wasn't the vapor suppose to have a hopper come with it when they finally released it? Is it good? Can you buy it separately?
Radio: I have heard nothing but good things about the Midland GXT1000VP4, but other suggestions would be great.
New marker: I had an Etek 3 and played with it forever and it was always a great marker but I'm ready to look into high ends. Machine Vapor, JT Impulse (I believe), Empire Vanquish (sorry if I got those 2 mixed up), G.I. Victus, Vanguard demon (personal fav), and an Ego LV1 are the ones I saw before I dropped out but what about bob long or alien or anything else thats new. Yes I know i skipped a couple like dye and the Geos (personally hate dye, its just my opinion) but if anyone could give me a quick overview or some reasons why or why not to get one any help would be great. Also pretty sure I'll be picking up that cheap bt pump gun for FS rounds and just sling it on my back. Possibly a pistol for S&Gs but I'm not carrying 3 markers on the field lol.
Vest/camelback: Empire tht static looks good (heard about it from mike) but what kind of camel back would I be able to wear or hook on to it? I was looking at this one
I'm doing my own research but actual reviews or suggestions from people is almost always better then reading a product description.

Kernel Recovery for INTEL, SPARC and SCO OpenServer is Unix Data Recovery Software Tool for recovering lost data, corrupted partition created by using Sun solaris and SCO OpenServer operating system.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

This section of the Joban Expressway, north of Tokyo, was rent into strips during last month's earthquake. The point of the before-and-after shots is not the neatness of the repair – although it is pretty tidy – but the time that elapsed between them: six days. Obviously it would be churlish to draw comparisons between this quick fix and the elevated section of the M1 damaged by fire on Friday – not least because the full six days haven't quite elapsed yet. If everything is shipshape by Thursday, there's nothing more to be said.

A five-storeyed building collapsed in Mumbra on Saturday morning. Officials said casualties are feared as the building - Banoo Apartments - housed 42 families.
Two builders arrested in connection with the building collapse in Mumbra town in the district in April, which claimed 74 lives and left 62 injured, today withdrew their bail applications in a sessions court in Thane.
A local court on Friday rejected the bail applications of four officials of Thane Municipal Corporation in a case related to last month`s building collapse in the district in which 74 persons were killed.

Savages' 'No Cameras' Sign Is More Polite Than Yeah Yeah Yeahs'
Yeah Yeah Yeahs aren't the only ones who'd like audiences to experience their live shows without iPhones getting in the way. Savages posted the above sign for their show last night at Seattle's Neumo's, as captured by Tumblr user sciencevsromance. The London post-punks, who recently tore up Coachella, are touring in support of May 7 album Silence Yourself. The sign's full text:"A NOTE FROM SAVAGESOUR GOAL IS TO DISCOVER BETTER WAYS OF LIVING AND EXPERIENCING MUSICWE BELIEVE THAT THE USE OF PHONES TO FILM AND TAKE PICTURES DURING A GIG PREVENTS ALL OF US FROM TOTALLY IMMERSING OURSELVESLET'S MAKE THIS EVENING SPECIALSILENCE YOUR PHONES"Savages' anti-cameras sign comes after SPIN spotted a similar one at Yeah Yeah Yeahs' New York City homecoming show earlier this month.
Morrissey Slams Margaret Thatcher Media Coverage Before Divisive Prime Minister's Funeral
"Freedom fighter," declares the cover of the latest issue of The Economist, atop a photo of late U.K. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. The legendary newsmagazine has a cheeky house style when it comes to headlines and captions, so it's impossible the editors didn't know the old saying: One person's terrorist is another's freedom fighter. In fact, considering the British parliamentary system allowed Thatcher to overhaul the nation's social contract without ever doing as well at the polls as the loser in most recent U.S. presidential elections, some debate over her legacy wasn't only inevitable. It was probably healthy.Enter Morrissey. Musicians critical of Thatcher, whose funeral was being held today after her death at age 87 last week, aren't hard to find, but the former Smiths singer has never been one to mince his words about, well, anything.
Stream Laura Marling's Forcefully Folky 'Master Hunter'
First Jay-Z name-checks Bob Dylan's "Idiot Wind," now comes another mention of a classic Dylan kiss-off, from a less improbable source. Laura Marling has actually been performing "Master Hunter" live for more than a year, but the song will appear on the British singer-songwriter's upcoming album, Once I Was an Eagle, out May 28 via Ribbon Music. "It ain't me, babe," Marling sings, nodding to Another Side of Bob Dylan while describing a harder-edged side of herself, backed by pounding drums and acoustic guitar that riffs toward heavy rock. Her hunting skills, here, involve not catching prey but curing skin so "nothing gets in." Listen exclusively below, and let Marling work her way into your head.
Azealia Banks Goes Full-On Queen of Darkness in Police-Battling 'Yung Rapunxel' Video
Azealia Banks looks to be positioning herself as the demonic overlord of electronic dance music. Her Lil Internet-produced new single "Yung Rapunxel" relies more on visceral, hair-raising intensity of tracks like recent onstage collaborators Prodigy's "Breathe" than the filthily quotable rapping of her earlier peaks. Her more recent video, for "No Problems," proudly guest-stars EDM figurehead Steve Aoki. Now the "Yung Rapunxel" video, directed by previous Aoki collaborator Jam Sutton, makes Banks' evolution fully visible: The sassy rapper from her breakout viral "212" clip has been replaced by a mouth-eyed monster, attacking the police sampled on the track and holding court from a mechanical bull like she's a postmodern Tolkien villain. The owls that surround her recall Twin Peaks, where they had deeply sinister implications.
Hear Camera Obscura's Bouncy Pop Flirtation 'Do It Again'
So that's why they called it Desire Lines. When Camera Obscura revealed their next album would have the same title as a song by 4AD labelmates Deerhunter, it was easy to hope and/or fear the moody Scottish popsters would go all noise-rock on us. As intriguing as that could be, the Glaswegians don't fix what ain't broken on "Do It Again," the bouncy, tuneful first listen from Camera Obscura's June 4 album (which is available for pre-order). Motown's stomp and indie-pop's jangle still course through the song — frontwoman Tracyanne Campbell alludes to "Tears of a Clown" — but as part of a festively flush arrangement, with bustling hand percussion, smoky, melodic lead guitar, and an extra helping of ebullient backing vocals. "You were insatiable," Campbell sings, as the song's cheerful friskiness suggests a different type of desire.
Basement Jaxx Go on a Psychedelic Safari in Bonkers 'Back 2 the Wild' Video
Basement Jaxx aren't wasting their return to the pop-dance jungle. Late last week, their joyfully unhinged tropical excursion "Back 2 the Wild" premiered on BBC Radio 1, and their first new track since 2011's film-score and orchestral excursions was their most colorfully overstuffed in at least a decade. Now Pitchfork points to the new video, directed by previous visual collaborator Matt Maitland of London studio Big Active along with Natalia Stuyk, who has directed videos for Roses Gabor and others. In fact, the clip combines the collage aspect of Maitland's artwork for 2010's Scars with the seapunk-tinged multiplicity of Stuyk's clip for Gabor's "Stars." Like the song itself, it makes much contemporary EDM seem tame by comparison.
Pitbull and Common Ride for Jay-Z on 'Open Letter' Remakes
"Would they have messed with Mr. Carter if he was white?" That's been an unspoken question hanging in the air ever since a couple of U.S. lawmakers from Florida suddenly showed an interest in human rights when it might embarrass Jay-Z and Beyoncé — and by extension President Obama. Jay-Z left the question hanging but turned up the temperature with his magnificent, Blood on the Tracks-repping "Open Letter." His withering response to criticisms of a trip he and his wife took to Cuba wound up requiring a statement from the Obama administration.Now Pitbull and Common have each separately added their own rhymes to Jay-Z's original track. And believe it or not, it's Pitbull who offered the strident rhetorical question quoted above.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs Buzz Through 'Mosquito' and 'Sacrilege' for 'Kimmel'
Yeah Yeah Yeahs' new album Mosquito is out today, and our reviewer Joe Gross argues it skillfully expands the band's sound. Fresh off one of Coachella's best sets, the New York art-rock inspirations stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night. They'd already brought Mosquito's Madonna-worthy opener "Sacrilege" to Late Show With David Letterman, gospel choir in tow, so last night on air they gave an enthusiastic, theatrical rendition of the blood-sucking title track (above). Of course, "Sacrilege" is great, so they played it as an online extra (below). Watch both while reading SPIN's latest Yeah Yeah Yeahs cover story.
Drake Shows His Softer Side on R&B Slow Jam 'Girls Love Beyonce'
Let's welcome back Confessional Drake, everybody. The side of the Toronto rapper-singer that let us classify 2011's Take Care as one of the year's best R&B albums has been relatively quiet this year. Of Aubrey Drake Graham's last two tracks, "Started From the Bottom" is a shout-along boast and "5AM in Toronto" is an ice-cold verbal barrage. He released two more tracks yesterday, and the latest, "Girls Love Beyoncé," is the more lyrically exposed. Usual producer Noah "40" Shebib's typically skeletal backing track is built around fluid keyboards, finger snaps, and silky vocal harmonies that throw back to the era of Shai and H-Town, while guest vocalist James Fauntleroy sings a half-lit version of Destiny's Child's "Say My Name" refrain.
Josh Homme and Mark Lanegan Share Sha-La-La-ing Anthony Bourdain Theme Song
Queens of the Stone Age have a long history of collaborations with Anthony Bourdain. SPIN once even interviewed the TV chef about it. QOTSA, of course, are getting set to release new album ...Like Clockwork on June 4 via Matador Records, and they've already unveiled muscular single "My God Is the Sun." The record's many guests include returning QOTSA hand (and former Screaming Trees belter) Mark Lanegan. Now, as Antiquiet points out, QOTSA main man Josh Homme has teamed up with Lanegan to record the theme song for Bourdain's new CNN show Parts Unknown.The results are definitely theme-song-y, with ample sha-la-las. But hearing Homme and Lanegan trade gravelly croons and big-room howls over sweaty guitars is still a treat. "I took a walk through this beautiful world / Felt the cool rain on my shoulder," the two sing.

Udinese overcome red card to defeat Empoli
Udinese picked up their first win in six attempts to climb above the two Milanese teams into eighth place in Serie A, despite ending Monday night's 2-1 win over Empoli with 10 men.
Antonio Di Natale put Andrea Stramaccioni's men in front after 19 minutes, but Riccardo Saponara levelled from the spot with his first goal of the season for Empoli.
Silvan Widmer earned Udinese the points with what appeared to be a cross before Panagiotis Kone was given his marching orders, but the guests held on to all...

Kaiser Health Tracking Poll: August 2013

Based on a review of publicly available materials as of September 2013, this brief provides an examination of the Marketplace branding strategies, websites, and marketing materials, providing insight into how consumers will be introduced to the Marketplaces and some of the key messages and approaches the Marketplaces will utilize to encourage individuals to enroll. As of September 2013, states and the federal government are on the eve of their October 1st launch of open enrollment for the new Health Insurance Marketplaces, where consumers will be able to shop for and purchase private coverage and potentially receive subsidies to lower the cost of that coverage. Achieving adequate enrollment through these Marketplaces will be important for fulfilling the Affordable Care Act's (ACA's) goal of reducing the nation's uninsured rate. Moreover, sufficient enrollment, particularly among younger and healthy individuals, will be important for ensuring the financial sustainability of the Marketplaces over time. Recognizing the importance of enrollment, the federal government and the 17 states operating State-based Marketplaces have invested resources and conducted extensive consumer research to inform the branding and marketing campaigns for their Marketplaces.

Can I use angelhair for noodle kugel?
- 5
- Follow
Due to a miscommunication, a family member cooked a whole box of angelhair, when we needed about 1/10 for soup. So now I have a mountain of cold angelhair, and no idea what to do with it.
I always loved sweet noodle kugel, never made it, and all recipes I seem to find online call for wide egg noodles (such as the link below)
I am concerned that if I substitute angelhair, I will just get mush.
Do you think I can do it? And does anyone have a great noodle kugel recipe for a first time try?
we use vermicelli in my family so I suppose it's similar to angel hair pasta though I prefer the eggy ones which are more yellow.
my recipe is the English type - we don't use cottage cheese or sour cream in ours. The problem is I have only made it with hot cooked noodles not cooked and cold. It may be impossible to separate now. I use beaten eggs, lots of sugar, cinnamon, raisins and mix all together, then blob in strawberry jam and bake in the oven. Just be careful not to cook more than about 25 mins at 350 or it dries out. I can't give you proportions because I have never measured!

re: classylady
Jerusalem kugel can use angel hair pasta, but i think it would not work after much time at all. I'd fry it up with onions and salt and pepper and eat it plain, then get some egg noodles and make some kugel.
or feed it to the dog.0-
re: magiesmom
Kugel Yerushalmi absolutely DOES work with angel hair. In fact, that's what should be used for it. Kugel Yerushalmi was my first thought after reading the OP's post. It's the only reason I keep angel hair in the house at all.
This is a parve kugel and a little unusual to many American tastes but it's positively addictive. Simple to make if you don't mind caramelizing sugar, all you need is oil, eggs, angel hair, black pepper, and sugar.
I use this recipe, adapted from Joan Nathan:
6 c. water
2 1/2 tsp salt
12 oz. angel hair pasta
3/4 tsp. fresh black pepper
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 c sugar
1/3 c oilPreheat oven to 350 and oil a 9 x 13 baking dish.
Boil water, add 1/2 tsp salt and cook pasta about 5 min, or until al dente. Drain, rinse in cold water, and pour into a bowl. Mix in pepper, 2 tsp salt, eggs, and 2/3 c sugar until well blended.
Heat oil in a small saucepan and add 1/3 c sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar melts and begins to turn brown.
Pour sugar mixture over the pasta, mixing well. Some will harden in clumps, but as long as they're not too big it's not a problem.
Pour into baking dish and bake 1 hour.0

Get the Flick
The Flick -- A term used by air traffic controllers to describe a mental model representing the current and future positions of air traffic in a section of airspace. Controllers visualize the paths of multiple aircraft in terms of position, altitude, trajectory and speed. Controllers also refer to this as "having the picture." But the picture moves -- like a movie -- hence the term "the flick."

Photography Park Project Begun
Just as an update, I have begun my photography park project. The web site will be up shortly. I was in downtown Atlanta twice last week, learning about non-profit organizations, how to find grants and write proposals. The Twitter account is up. As is the Flickr account. I'm still trying to puzzle out how I'm going to arrange all the pieces and whether or not I have to come up with yet another email address. Or two. I've got ThePhotographyPark at gmail and at yahoo but I hope to have a single address at our own domain name so don't worry about updating your address book just yet.
If any of you care to "follow" us on Flickr or Twitter, your support would be most welcome. But more than anything, just mention the idea to your photographer friends at the next cocktail party. I'm sure this is going to be a years-long project so we have time for word-of-mouth to work its magic.
I still hesitate to close the door on this blog. Perhaps I should. But for now I won't. I had a friend, just last night, trying to lure me back into the mix by telling me what the Operational Error rate was these days. I admit, I was sorely tempted, but I've resisted and here I am writing about a photography park. And I was out this morning, taking ugly pictures to make my point.
I'm searching for a way to make people understand that pictures like this are never taken by serious photographers (both amateur and professional). It's a perfectly beautiful moment, but with the utility wires and street lights, most photographers (including me) would never pull the camera out of the bag. There's only so much you can fix with Photoshop. I want a place where you can capture these moments. The fact that it would generate a lot of economic activity (I believe) just makes it easier for me to sell the idea. (If you want to get an idea about the economic side, take a look the the "favorites" I'm collecting on Flickr. Add up the cost of the photography equipment you see in each picture and see if you think this is a demographic worth pursuing.)
Y'all be careful out there.

Waiting for Patty -- The Process
For my long-time readers, this will be something new. But I have a different idea and a lot of pictures for which I have no other use. There's a lot of thinking that goes into some kinds of picture taking. As a matter of fact, it's more picture making. So, if you're not interested in the process behind making a picture, it's time to change the channel.
To be honest, I started taking pictures of The Chair because I was bored. I'd taken a picture of a really nice sunrise to post to my photography friends on Facebook -- with my phone -- and it included my camera sitting on my tripod. I noticed that the tripod/camera silhouette made the picture a lot more interesting. That got me thinking (hat tip to Galen Rowell and his "mature subject" explanation) about what object I could use in my photographs to add interest. I thought an artist's easel would be a good idea. Perhaps it might be a little too literal -- sort of like screaming "See! It's art! Photography can be art!". But I'm a literal kind of guy and I didn't have a problem with that. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), I couldn't find a used easel. But I did find a used chair. Cheap. I named the first picture "I Grew Weary of the Wait". Coincidently, I had listened to a podcast about how much of our lives are spent waiting (like waiting for a pretty sunrise) and then it became kind of a thing. All "The Chair" pictures had to have a "waiting" title.
Are you following along? Do you see how one thing just leads to another? I'd already been floating things in the lake so it wasn't a real leap of inspiration to float the chair. I decided to build a prettier raft but that was about it.
And then I started noticing how people reacted to the various images. Most of the images were just rehashing the same pictures I'd taken before "The Chair". But then I got a crazy idea and posted this one:
That one got a lot of reaction. And it surprised me. Think about it. There's nothing there. No horizon. No color (I love color). It's a chair, lost in the fog. And that's when it hit me. It's not just about what I put in a picture, it's what the viewer puts into it.
They probably teach this in Art 101 but I've never delved into the art world before. I just like photographing pretty things, not making art. And all this led me to thinking about how I react to other's art. And that led me to Patty. Nobody's art on Flickr makes me "feel" like Patty's. The odd thing is, I don't know what it makes me feel. Again, it's probably just that lack of art school thing but there it is. And now it intrigues me. So, of course, I started to dissect it. I'm not sure that's the smart thing to do but I've been not smart before.
To make this long story shorter, let me use some pictures.
The first thing that ought to hit you about that picture is that it's square. As are most of Patty's. I'd been looking at her work for over a year and I had been so wrapped up in the "feel" of it that I'd never even noticed that all her pictures are square(ish). It's amazing what you learn when you try to duplicate something.
I also noticed she used a lot of leading lines so I tried that.
Close but no cigar. I love the dark and moody skies in much of her work, so I tried that.
I liked it (even if I did use fill flash) but it still didn't capture the "magic". So, this morning, when the swans flew through the frame, I decided enough was enough.
If I can't capture the magic with a square format, moody skies, a red wig and flying swans, Patty has something that I don't have and I'll just have to learn to live with it. No, I can't explain why I didn't go with the flying swans. You just have to trust your instincts and hope for some magic.

Funny How the Internet Works
I'm switching gears these days in a lot of areas so I'm changing a lot of internet accounts around. So, just in case you see some stuff that no longer makes sense, you'll know why. For instance, if you scroll down on this blog's homepage, you know see a tweet I made from another account (and posted here) that has someone else's name on it. He's the guy that took over for me as the Party Chairman. I've also noticed that a few pictures on this site are now missing. That's probably because I've been changing permissions on some old accounts. Whatever.
I have some new accounts I've created from my photography park project and I'll be deleting some old accounts. Expect more oddness as I discover how the internet works. The hard way.

Sick Leave Soliloquy
Well, seeing as I can't do anything else, I might as well blog. It's odd, I really don't remember the last time I was sick. And I'm not very sick at the moment. Just fuzzy-headed enough that I don't need to be driving -- or out in the cold weather. Oh well. Your loss.
I started the day off sleeping in. Something I never do. Then I started in on the internet. (Something I always do.) I so wish I could leave Facebook. But it's almost like saying I wish I could leave reality. I had a good time taking my time on Twitter today. I think I'm missing out a little on the Twitter experience in that internet coverage is so spotty down here. But I learn so much more from my Twitter feed than I do from my Facebook page. Well, at least about the stuff I want to learn about. Remembering somebody's birthday is nice. Seeing vacation pictures is nice. But I could live without the cat videos and most of what normal people consider "fun" about Facebook. Of course, as soon as I find something interesting on Twitter I go share it on Facebook. Sigh.
One of the things that got me fired up today was reading an article from John Cassidy at The New Yorker.
Should the Democrats Give Up on the South?
"In an anguished and pointed column on the Daily Beast, Michael Tomasky, the liberal journalist, says the Party should "dump Dixie" and concentrate its electoral efforts on other parts of the country."
Fortunately, Mr. Cassidy didn't sip that Kool-Aid.
"For a number of reasons, I think that would be going much too far. If the Democratic Party wants to be a national party of government, it needs to retain and expand its presence in the South, rather than neglecting it."
I had read Tomasky's article. I'd basically blown it off. But, evidently, others had paid attention. I agree with John Cassidy. They shouldn't have taken Tomasky's article to heart.
(For those that have forgotten, I was drafted into the position of Chairman of the Democratic Party of Pike County, Georgia a couple of years ago. That's sort of like being Jim Bowie at the Alamo. You might get famous but you'll most likely lose.)
When Tomasky talks about writing off Democrats in the South, he's talking about abandoning me. Unsurprisingly, I'm not real keen on the idea. But more to the point, it's stupid. There are smart political operators out there that will tell you it's politically smart. They're being stupid too. There are people down here that are dying for a real Democratic party to show up. Despite what seems to be the common wisdom about the South -- that liberal Democrats will have to soften their message to play in the South -- there are plenty of Southerns that wish the real Democrats would actually show up down here.
For instance, take Michelle Nunn and Jason Carter. Both had name recognition from their daddies. I wasn't real keen on that but, okay, the smart political people said it would play. They both ran away from Obama. Again, the smart money said that was the smart play. How'd that work out? Now, look at it from my perspective -- a somewhat liberal white guy in a very red county. What am I left to deal with? The only Democrat I have to fight for me is a President the rest of you ran away from.
I'm not a smart man. But even I could see it was stupid to run away from our own President. Win, Lose or Draw. It was stupid.
Only 4 more days until you can go back to supporting President Obama. (There's a reason why people hate politics as usual.) #ProudDemocrat
— Don Brown (@PikeDemChair) October 31, 2014
Here's a thought. If you want me to hold onto the Alamo at least let me take a shot at Santa Anna. If I'm going to die defending this place at least make the fight about something more important than a man (or a woman.) How about an important idea? Or a set of ideas? Do you think everybody in the South is against a minimum wage? Do you think everyone working in the new car factories down here is anti-union? More importantly, do you think they'll stay that way after working in an anti-union factory for a few years? Do you think everybody down here is racist?
Or can you grasp the idea that a supposed racist from the South rammed the Civil Rights Act through Congress? Can you grasp the fact that the largest strike ever to occur in America was in the South? Have you forgotten that our greatest Civil Rights leader was a Southerner? Martin Luther King, Jr. was born in Atlanta, Georgia. Is that the South Mr. Tomasky wants to write off?
Let's get down to the nitty-gritty. Take a look a the trends and the numbers. Check out farming.
Agriculture is still Georgia's largest industry. Farms are less "family" all the time. They're getting bigger. Who might be working these bigger, not-so-family farms (some smart guy, somewhere, might ask)? That's right. Less rednecks and more Hispanics. The internet parlor trick I leaned today was tracking population by counties on Google. Rural county's populations have flatlined in Georgia. Some (like mine) are even shrinking slightly. Try to keep up. The reddest counties in Georgia aren't growing. The bluest ones are.
Fulton and DeKalb are the Democratic base of Atlanta. Bibb County is Macon, GA, one of the mid-size cities in Georgia. All the counties on the bottom are among the reddest in the State -- each voting 80+% Republican in the 2012 (Presidential) election. Everybody that lives in Georgia understands that Atlanta is slowly consuming the State but no Republican wants to see the obvious: The "red" part of the State is withering away. It's only the "blue" parts that are generating growth.
Only stupid people would seriously consider pulling the Democratic Party out of the South. I understand Mr. Tomasky's depression. I live it. I forgive him. And I thank Mr. Cassidy for writing a reality check.
(Helpful tip: Jameson's does NOT make the best hot toddy. And I'm out of B&B. Curses!)
With that subtle segue let me bring you up to date on my life. My term as Party Chairman is ending in a few days. In searching for a political message that will sell in a rural, 80+% Republican county, I came up with the idea of parks. (Thank you Robert Moses/Robert Caro.) Specifically, a photography park. I intend to concentrate on turning that idea into a reality starting January 1st. That does not bode well for my blogging here.
I'll make no promises or close any doors. This blog will remain up and available for the foreseeable future. But I will be moving on. For those that have followed me all these years, I hope you can see the path I have taken. I am so far from where I began, yet the power of ideas still guides me -- even to places unexplored. An insider's belief in the good of government, a 40-year-old book, and a job that nobody wants has led me a unique idea. An idea that I hope will employ some people in good jobs, show citizens how government can work towards the common good and make the world a slightly more beautiful place.
See you around.

Barrel Racing in Concord
I need to figure out a better way of doing this. I need a non-business card. I don't want to print a card because I'm not selling anything. But I have so many people that want to see my pictures that I need a card with a web address. On the other hand, why should I send anybody to Flickr instead of my own web page? This free stuff is difficult. Oh well, Enjoy the pictures. It usually takes about 2-3 days to get them all up on my Flickr page.

A Nice Sunday
As you can see from the picture below, this Sunday started off in a nice way for me. I'm not sure how many of you have been following "The Chair" series on Flickr, but this morning was kind of extraordinary in that about four (maybe five) different flocks of geese overflew the scene while the sun was coming up. (You can't get lucky unless you show up.)
I had to pack up my cameras earlier than I wanted to in order to make it to church on time. Yeah, I'm retired now so I actually have time to make church a habit. (You can have good habits or you can have bad habits...but you *will* have habits.) I noticed a visiting priest hanging around but I hadn't been paying attention so I didn't know who she was. Turns out, she's the Vicar of ATL -- Reverend Donna Mote. That's right, she's the Chaplain at Hartsfield-Jackson, Atlanta International Airport.
It was interesting in that I had just noticed her on Facebook and "friended" her. The next thing I know she's at my church. I don't know if that was divine intervention or an algorithm on Facebook. Who knows, they could be one and the same thing for all I know. Anyway, it wouldn't hurt you to have an extra friend at ATL. Be sure to say hello if you see her. You can follow her on Twitter too if you'd like.
I was reminded the New York Times had run a story on her back in March. (In case you thought you had an idea what an airport chaplain at a place the size of ATL does. You don't.)
I'll be flying out of ATL tomorrow to spend a week with a controller friend that's been sick for a while. She is on the road to recovery now and this should be a fun week in the sun. Just because I'm not a controller anymore doesn't mean I don't toss up a prayer every once in a while. I have become more grateful for the ones -- both big and small -- that have been answered.

The Great Chicago Fire
Yes, I'm around and I've been trying to keep up with the fire at ZAU (Chicago ARTCC). I just can't seem to get loose. It's Saturday at 5 PM and I haven't even had a nap yet. This life of retirement is tough, I'm telling you.
Seriously, I've said it all before I think. I've been gone too long to have any new relevance (I think). A new generation will learn how important it is for the system to "fail gracefully" in air traffic control. A new generation will learn how important it is to understand the fundamentals of air traffic control and the fact that a pencil and piece of paper have a reliability that can't be matched by a computer (yet).
My generation rose to the challenge. This one will too.
If you need any help, I'm here. You have my address. After the crisis is over and you decide you'd like to brush up on the basics, I can't do much better than the series I wrote for AvWeb. Yes, I wrote it for pilots but it's the short course on the fundamentals of air traffic control. If you need a glimpse into the past -- on how we survived with less technology -- you will find it there.
Be well. Do good. Remember who you're serving.

Rosberg expects pecking order to emerge
Nico Rosberg says he expects a more stable competitive order to emerge at the Spanish Grand Prix next weekend. Mercedes has been the class of the field so far in 2014 with Rosberg winning in Australia before team-mate Lewis Hamilton took three consecutive victories in Malaysia, Bahrain and China. However, behind them there have been fluctuations in form with McLaren, Red Bull, Force India and Ferrari all taking turns on the podium. Rosberg believes the improvements made by various teams during the three-week break between races could mix the field up slightly, but expects the order seen in Barcelona to be a sign of things to come for the remainder of the season.
