About Package of BMS College of Engineering

what is the highest package from B.Tech of BMS College of Engineering? — Preceding unsigned comment added by AbhiramSxaena (talk • contribs) 02:17, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The answer might be in the article at B.M.S. College of Engineering. What do you mean by "package"? RudolfRed (talk) 03:06, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think he means to ask "What is the highest salary a student passing out from said college is likely to be offered by companies that are recruiting?". "Package" mean pay package here. 12.47.208.37 (talk) 05:11, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What type of car is this?

What type is this car? I *did* look at the back for a name but it was short, I did not recognize it, and I've forgotten it. I wonder if this car is not as old as it pretends to be - look at the wheels and tyres (although they prove nothing).

Ganz bros "wrinkles" hand puppet

I was going to donate our "Wrinkles hand puppet dog". Someone told me to find if it is worth anything first. It is brown with courdoroy bib and shirt. It has a tag on neck with the number 6102813. Has Wrinkles in the ear also. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.36.154.197 (talk) 17:40, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest you take a look at eBay old boy - a quick gander suggests some are worth £50 to £100! Quintessential British Gentleman (talk) 18:16, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Heart

What exactly does the phrase "I heart something" mean? How is it any different from saying "I love something"? Why would some people rather use the word heart instead of love? La Alquim ista 19:28, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It can be traced back the New York slogan I Love New York, where a heart symbol is used in place of the word "love". --LarryMac | Talk 19:33, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) They are being droll. Using the actual picture of a heart to mean the word "love" is a fairly old tradition. It's just to be snarky to actually write the word "heart" rather than "love" in the place of the heart. --Jayron32 19:34, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I ♥ Huckabees presented an interesting problem for indexers. But those lily-livered pansies capitulated and pretended its real title was "I Heart Huckabees". -- ♬ Jack of Oz ♬ ^{[your turn]} 20:49, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

According to the film's official website, the title truly was "I Heart Huckabees", according to the audio commentary. → Michael J Ⓣ Ⓒ Ⓜ 15:17, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Then our article is wrong and needs fixing, at least in respect of the wrong camps in which it has feet. -- ♬ Jack of Oz ♬ ^{[your turn]} 22:48, 12 June 2012 (UTC) [reply]

One of my favorite cartoons had a bumper sticker that read "I ♠ my dog". StuRat (talk) 20:51, 11 June 2012 (UTC) [reply]

Round our way, the notion of one reading "I ♣ baby seals" is popular. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 84.21.143.150 (talk) 11:52, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's pretty good. A couple of decades or so ago, when the "I Heart My Dog" stickers started to show up, someone was selling a little square sticker that depicted a screw, which you could mischievously place over the heart and see if they notice. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 23:22, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The New York State tourism office is running an ad campaign where people are encouraged to replace the heart in their logo with other images. See http://www.iloveny.com/What-To-Do/Reasons-To-Love-NY/New_Videos.aspx 69.62.243.48 (talk) 03:12, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hm. That will go well. Back when "I ♥ my dog-head" bumper stickers were common, clever entrepreneurs were selling stickers with a picture of a screw on them (to replace the heart). --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 14:30, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There's an echo in here. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 22:42, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, remember those little screw stickers they sold to put over the heart on those "I love my dog" bumper stickers? --Jayron32 22:51, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Catholic.org internet site

I'm trying to find out who is behind the website catholic.org. A friend made me aware of it and lately has been sending me links to articles that are accussing President Obama of lying about some of his political links in Chicago prior to his election. I was wondering if the Catolic Church or some politico organization or something/someone else pays for and promotes this website. Or perhaps it is a money making scheme as it has advertisers, sells goods, etc. Any insight would be appreciated as my research has been futile.

The whois record for that domain (see here) says it is owned by Catholic Online, LLC (which doesn't tell you anything). The contact information isn't given out; they've chosen to have their domain registrar Network Solutions store that, so it only shows Network Solutions' contact info. Individuals and very small companies sometimes do that (to protect their privacy); it's rare for a large organisation to do so. Someone may be able to search state business records to find the company registration info for Catholic Online, LLC. -- Finlay McWalterჷTalk 21:44, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's a private, for-profit website that takes a lot of care not to list who runs it. I wouldn't assume it is affiliated with the Church in any way. --Mr.98 (talk) 22:24, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Found it. It is a guy in California named Michael Galloway. His name and address are a matter of public record but I am averse to posting his address here; so I will just point you to the California corporation lookup page at this link. Once there, click the "Limited Liability Company/Limited Partnership Name" button and type "Catholic Online" in the search field and you are go. Note that he's listed as the "registered agent" but also is listed as the LLC's manager lower on the page. It may be a 1-person LLC, or a 50-person LLC; we don't know. He may have registered the LLC originally in Nevada; the Nevada secretary of state's corporations search page also comes up with a result for "Catholic Online", listing Mr. Galloway in Bakersfield as the manager. (In case you were wondering, the "registered agent" is a person to whom you can serve papers if necessary, and he or she will accept them on behalf of the company.) (Also in case you were wondering, I found it by randomly choosing California once, as the most populous state in the country. Score on try #1. I don't know of any nationwide LLC search, just the state by state process of visiting every state's Secretary of State website.) Comet Tuttle (talk) 23:53, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So, we've had Roman Catholic, Byzantine Catholic, etc., and now we have Limited Liability Catholic? So, aside from criticizing Obama, what else do they have to say? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 00:02, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Worth googling " "Michael Galloway" catholic" some very interesting results. DuncanHill (talk) 19:09, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
