Is there any particular rule about what tincture a label should be? In particular, is there any truth to the story that labels argent are a royal privilege? Marnanel ( talk) 02:44, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Clock Question To whom it may concern:
Back in 1993 I was given a hand made clock with two cards (A and J)on the left, in the middle is the clock (with the back ground a 12 noon heart, 3 o'clock club, 6 o'clock diamond & a 9 o'clock spand symbols), and the top right side is a red chip with a very large 'B' and around the B is the words; ROULETTE, top and bottom. On the bottom of the right side ia a red book of matches that reads: HOLIDAY CASINO, ON THE STRIP, BETWEEN SANDS & FLAMINGO HOTELS, address is as follows: 3473 LAS VEGAS BLVD, SOUTH LAS VEGAS, NEVADA 89109 (all lettering is in white caps). The frame is AROUND: 2" wide (all around), with a clear glass front.
I have looked all over the internet to see if I could find any item and or casino that even came close to this hanging item, I did come very close to finding a casino on the strip in Las Vegas, which made me fill pretty good. I also found a little info that Holiday Inn bought the Holidy Casino out around the early 70's.
Could you please help me find out some info on this item. I thought that maybe a collector or someone would be insterested in buying it.
I just want to say thank you for your help either way.

How does one promote himself as a fiction writer without resorting to spamming or any other dishonorable procedure?
Obviously even if you are a Charles Dickens in the making, you won't be able to share your talent to the world without someone noticing your potential, right?

What ever happened to the concept of 'blogging'? If you are a writer at heart and want the world to know you, start blogging. And there are no restrictions here. You could even write about yourself. Publish your blog and promote it through social media like facebook, twitter etc and you will soon get noticed for your content. People all over the world have turned celebrity writers with their blogs. Once you get established as a writer, known for his content or writing style and win yourself a considerable number of regular readers, you could approach a publisher to start writing your own book.

I recently purchased a second hand sandal on ebay since it is a branded item. It has white areas which I don't know what they are but the make the sandal look very bad - please have a look at http://i.imagehost.org/0295/leather.jpg . I don't think it is fungus since the area has not expanded in the following days after the purchase. Could you please say how to remove them?. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.220.46.26 ( talk) 09:02, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
thanks for your inputs white areas seem to have largely disappeared and i just have to wait for it to dry and remove remaining white areas should they exist. My english is not very good and i should have typed a pair of sandals instead of a sandal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.220.46.25 ( talk) 08:45, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
Are there any countries that used to use postage stamps (either their own issued ones or ones issued by another country) but which have now abandoned the practice altogether? By 'postage stamps' I mean the ones that you either lick or glue to the envelope by some other means, and not rubber stamps or pre-printed envelopes (which is what I mean by 'abandoned the practise altogether). -- KageTora - SPQW - (影虎) ( talk) 12:45, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
I am looking for a list of cities that are below sea level, such as New Orleans. Anyone know of one? Googlemeister ( talk) 19:56, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi,
This question may seem to be a joke but it isn't. I've got a male roommate who is only 18. He is more or less handsome and he already has a sexual life much more rich than any average man at the end of his life. He moved with us for his job and after only 6 months, he slept with more than 5 colleagues, some of them easy, some of them really serious. He also told us that he never spent a month without having sex and had really weird experiences like sleeping with some 40-year-old women or with a daughter first and her mother then. I really don't understand how this guy manage to have so many girls (this is my first question). The second question is: is this guy "normal" or has he some psychological problems leading to a over normal sexual life? All the normal men I know spend months without relationships and sex and this very young guy show us that having sex is as easy as to go for a drink. How is it possible? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.210.30.250 ( talk) 20:16, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
There is no 'normal'. Plus he could be telling the odd lie here and there. People's sexual conquests are closely linked to their self esteem and how they think they are viewed by others. It's very common for young men to brag about sex with girls that didn't actually happen. He could easily be telling the truth though, some people do have quite a bit of sex. It's not that strange.

Maybe he speaks in tongues. ← Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 23:41, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
To put it in perspective I have had and still have a very unique and interesting personal sex life and I turned out socially acceptable and healthy. Full time job, no criminal record, financially stable. And Ive done things more extreme then anything posted here, with numerous people and party(s) and ages (with consent and legal of course). I think the individual is just experiencing life. As long as the parties involved are comfortable with the situation and it is legal then have at it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ivtv ( talk • contribs) 00:22, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
I would suggest that the first question to ask yourself about this guy is: "Is this true? How do I know that?"...exaggerating about such things is hardly unknown! SteveBaker ( talk) 00:45, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
What does the name Aidan mean? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gingerman12345 ( talk • contribs) 20:39, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
