The Hindenburg’s Smoking Lounge... Quote: The Hindenburg’s smoking room was thus a necessary concession to global travelers who could book a first-class cabin on the greatest ocean liner ever built (even to this day), the Normandie, at no more than half the price. Guillaume de Syon, author of a standard book on the zeppelins, points out that the room was extremely popular and travelers would otherwise have been oppressively bored, at least when no land was in sight. An open pack of premium cigarettes was thus a centerpiece of Hindenburg advertisements. Should the passengers have been worried? The hydrogen-buoyed airship had...

Socialist Dependant Trampoline Bear DiesSocialist Dependant Trampoline Bear Dies Quote: Bears are by nature 99 percenters. They are not rich, they grab what they can where they can and they just want to get along and raise their bear families. Occasionally misfortune befalls them and a safety net is needed - as happened to our Boulder, Colorado bear, who found himself disadvantaged and stranded in a tree. Fortunately, the state had its safety net, in the form of a trampoline, standing by. When our Boulder bear finally gave up on life and dropped from the tree, he was saved by the government trampoline, albeit with a few bumps and...

[R*censored*]Romney denounces intolerance, except when he isQuote: Romney Camp Brags About Denouncing Intolerance, But Not Of Gay Former Advisor In a week full of nervy moves by the Mitt Romney campaign, the most shameless display of balls since New Year’s Eve has gone virtually unnoticed. The presumptive Republican nominee has taken a lot of criticism for failing to denounce the anti-gay voices that ostensibly drove openly gay advisor Richard Grenell to quit quit the campaign, Romney senior advisor Eric Fehrnstrom, appearing on Chuck Todd‘s The Daily Rundown, made a hilarious attempt to turn those lemons into lemonade by casting Romney as a warrior...

Actual facts in Zimmerman/Martin case start to emergeBone fide forensic evidence is becoming available. You can find articles for yourself, but the two latest interesting facts to emerge: 1. Zimmerman had injuries to his face and head consistent with being beaten. He had bleeding cuts on the back of his head that paramedics thought would require stitches. His nose was swollen, and he had bruises and abrasions on his cheeks and face. A doctor who examined him the next day said he appeared to have a broken nose. There are photographs and testimony by paramedics, police, and a doctor. 2. Martin had no injuries other than some to his hands,...

The ArgonopediaHi everyone. I am pleased to announce the launch of the Argonopedia , a wiki about the X series of games that can be edited by anyone. I had previously made a similar post about this in the Scripts & Modding forum when the wiki was smaller, but whilst it isn't yet complete (a wiki never is), I now feel it has a solid enough foundation to build upon and can be publicly launched. The wiki will eventually be a complete database of everything in the X-Universe, and anything related to it. If you are a modder or scripter there are links on the community page to useful content, and feel free to add...

A cynical processLabor unions, like the United Nations, are all too often judged by what they are envisioned as being -- not by what they actually are or what they actually do. Quote: Many people, who do not look beyond the vision or the rhetoric to the reality, still think of labor unions as protectors of working people from their employers. And union bosses still employ that kind of rhetoric. However, someone once said, "When I speak I put on a mask, but when I act I must take it off." That mask has been coming off, more and more, especially during the Obama administration, and what is revealed underneath is...

Copy/paste relative links and pictures : bug?Hello, From v 2.9, when copying / pasting either a link or a picture that is relative to the current page (with the "relative to page URL" box ticked in their properties), the resulting link or picture URL becomes absolute to "file://" It worked well in v2.8 (links and image addresses remained relative) I was using SM 2.9.1, French version, on Windows XP, and had to downgrade to v2.8 to avoid unwanted corruption when editing my pages. Did anybody else notice this issue ? Regards, Olivier

"Born in Kenya, raised in Indonesia and Hawaii"THE VETTING - EXCLUSIVE - OBAMA'S LITERARY AGENT IN 1991 BOOKLET: 'BORN IN KENYA AND RAISED IN INDONESIA AND HAWAII' Quote: Note from Senior Management: Andrew Breitbart was never a "Birther," and Breitbart News is a site that has never advocated the narrative of "Birtherism." In fact, Andrew believed, as we do, that President Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on August 4, 1961. Yet Andrew also believed that the complicit mainstream media had refused to examine President Obama's ideological past, or the carefully crafted persona he and his advisers had constructed for him. It is for...

2.9.1. Path to profile?I have upgraded Seamonkey many times, and have had to copy the contents of my current profile into a new one created by Profile Manager. I've recently had some computer trouble, copied everything to an external drive, did a wipe of the drive, and (finally!) installed Windows 7 rather than the hateful Vista. Only now I can't find a way into the file structure. When I am logged into my desktop, I have used the path to the computer view, chosen the C: drive and attempted to look at the file through the Users folder (which always worked before), through the Program files, I've peeked into the...
