  1. Actors who not only drank on set, they drank during filming: Cary Grant W. C. Fields Peter O'Toole Joan Crawford There are more but those are the first ones that come to mind.
  2. Do you have any idea just how often Experians DBs get hacked? Oh and on the last really big breach, all the non-answers/lies people were given over the phone was done by a company I refuse to ever work for again. I learned way more about Experian than I ever wanted to know. None of it good.
  3. Chisel and slate were used long before chalk and chalkboards existed.
  4. He who? Innula? If that is who you mean, you're wrong. She is very fact oriented. It's one of the aspects of the line of work she is in.
  5. Generally speaking, if it is mature (M) land, as long as it can not be viewed by the general public, it's fine. G rated regions are a different story as those are the regions that allow underage (RL) residents. See also: Cindy's link.
  6. It isn't paranoia when you know they are out to get you.
  7. In addition to the hobbyists, there are also the runway models that blog new releases. At least there used to be. I don't know of any of the modeling schools that don't require blogging while taking classes. Many models do continue to blog once they have graduated.
  8. I thought I had made it clear that there was never any common usage of the term and that it was a contemporary usage. The first usage was in 1861 but it never really caught on and became a "thing" until the 1900s. I couldn't remember precisely when it started and didn't really have the energy last night to dig for it. New job requires standing on my feet which doesn't make my back happy and the stress of the first work day (after training) had my head aching. So I wasn't exactly thinking clearly last night. Sorry for any confusion.
  9. They turned the cross sideways. You also should keep in mind that there was more than one so called battle flag. Even the Choctaw and Cherokee had their own battle flags as illustrated here: http://www.loeser.us/flags/civil.html#south Check out the 3rd Kentucky Mounted Infantry Regiment Flag, Cummings' White Cross Battle Flag, and Bowen's White Cross Battle Flag on that page. All three have actual crosses, rather than the rotated St Andrew's. Much of the information you are looking for was repressed or was never available and is now lost to history. Similar to the Dead Sea Scrolls and the repression of native traditions. Possibly because the term was never widespread and then was commandeered by the KKK and other white supremacist groups.
  10. It translates to "loud noise", according to John Kay.
  11. There is no land ownership requirement to be a resident of SL. All users of SL are residents. http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Second_Life_Glossary#R See also: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Resident
  12. 1861. Confederacy's First Battle Flag, The: The Story of the Southern Cross Scroll down to the page below the photo of Jefferson Davis' inauguration. You'll see a quote from the Charleston Daily Courier referring to the battle flag as the "Southern Cross". The newspaper article was dated February 15, 1861. Or buy the book and read it.
  13. I was providing the links that would have been given to anyone in the FS support group regarding clearing cache for anyone who wants/needs those links. Don't need to google anything about FS, it's all there on the wiki. Of course, having spent 5 years on the FS support team providing those links, I kind of knew where to look.
  14. Surrender is a solid white flag with no other colors or embellishments. https://www.history.com/news/when-did-the-white-flag-become-associated-with-surrender
  15. http://www.civilwar.com/resources/313-flags/150182-confederate-flag-history.html Yeah I know... repost.
  16. First time I ever heard that claim made and I grew up in Lousyana (getting lousier).
  17. Being referred to as the Southern Cross has been going on for more than a few years, circa early 1900s. Around a hundred years, give or take. http://www.civilwar.com/resources/313-flags/150182-confederate-flag-history.html
  18. They didn't. It wasn't until well after the Civil War ended that some began to refer to it as A Southern Cross. It is not common. At least it wasn't in the part of the South I grew up in.
  19. Which one? There were several. And no two exactly alike. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flags_of_the_Confederate_States_of_America
  20. https://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/cache https://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_cache_clear
  21. Not counting the very first account I made to attend a memorial for a friend, I've been a resident since April of 2004, 14 years.
