Unplugged in New York and Live in Reading by NIRVANA
2 Questions:


 * 1) When these DVDs were origionally released they had PARENTAL ADVISORY stickers. Now they don't. I'm guessing because of the promised bonus content described on the back of each (even still), but is now somehow missing.
 * 2) Will these be released on blu-ray, hopefully with all of the exed out bonus content promised, but not delivered, on the DVDs?

Unknown arabic language song
I'm trying to recall the name of this song I heard about 8ish years ago. I didn't understand a word being said; it was definitely middle-eastern and hence most probably Arabic. It was a catchy rousing tune with both a male and female singer. The cool part was the video, it transitioned from one scene to another like curtains being pulled across. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance. Hasanclk (talk) 02:32, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

About sports company fila.
Sir, Does sport company fila have any full form of its name? if yes,then what it is? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ranjan2192 (talk • contribs) 04:26, 7 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Fila is a bunch of associated companies. The parent company Global Leading Brands House Holdings, a South Korean company, while the United States affiliate is Fila USA, Inc.  There are other Fila associates in other contries, which all have names similar to the US one, usually Fila XXXX, where XXXX is the name of the country.  Global Leading Brands House Holdings(GLBH) is not equivalent to Fila, it is a large holding company which owns many brands and companies; something like large multinationals such as Unilever or Bayer AG.  Fila is just one of its brands; which it markets through individual national companies.  You can get most of this information from Fila (company) and this official company history.-- Jayron  32  05:45, 7 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I thought the question was asking if "Fila" is an acronym, and if so, what does it stand for; but if that is the question, then no, it is not an acronym, it is the last name of the founders. Adam Bishop (talk) 06:47, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

USA Network Psych promos
How many hit singles were used as promos for Psych? I remember Ebony and Ivory and Private Eyes were two of them. Were there any others?24.90.204.234 (talk) 08:00, 7 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Whatever the answer might be, all I know is that the director is going straight to Hades for those. Comet Tuttle (talk) 17:25, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

What is that supposed to mean?24.90.202.42 (talk) 22:53, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

budding youngster
a budding youngster with a lot of talent & potential may have one in the years to come in qatar? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.130.100.226 (talk) 09:24, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Could you clarify the question? TomorrowTime (talk) 11:04, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Is this another riddle? Something to do with the 2022 World Cup? Adam Bishop (talk) 17:02, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Qatar. As Mitch Albom said on Sunday, just one more reason for Americans not to care about soccer. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 02:29, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Wait, wut? Because it's held in Qatar? I don't understand why that's a reason for Americans not to care about it. Am I missing something, or is it just that Americans aren't supposed to care about international events that take place in countries they don't know/like? Seems an unpatriotically low opinion of Americans for an American to hold... 86.161.208.185 (talk) 00:21, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Nah, Bugs is just sour that in soccer, unlike baseball, a "world cup" really means a competition countries around the world participate and take interest in :) TomorrowTime (talk) 10:53, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Being held in a country which even soccer-manic countries are saying was the wrong choice.  Corvus cornix  talk  19:36, 9 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Well yes, but soccer-manic countries always say it's the wrong choice if it isn't being held in their own country. Endlessly. 86.161.208.185 (talk) 20:40, 9 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I suppose that's what you get for accusing the organisers of corruption before they fail to vote for your country. Astronaut (talk) 21:20, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Please Help Me In My Quest
Can anyone help me find a copy of "A Starry Night" sung by the 1960's Salvation Army group "The Joystrings" Not any other version will do, I would be very grateful as I want it to give a copy each to my Children to remind them of their younger days when they sang it with me at every Christmas.. Thank you Please you can reply to me at my [email address redacted]. Roger Houlden —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.28.160.199 (talk) 15:57, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I have redacted your e-mail address to preserve you from spammers and scammers - any replies to your query will appear immediately below. I also removed the superfluous spaces from in front of your 'signature' to correct the display oddity they cause on this site (a big grey box). You should 'sign' by typing four tildes (a tilde is this '~') in a row. Regrettably, I can't help your search myself, but perhaps someone else will be able to. 87.81.230.195 (talk) 16:48, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
 * That said, this website might be helpful. 87.81.230.195 (talk) 17:32, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Nintendo DS as PDA?
Is there any sort of Nintendo DS cartridge I can use to turn my Nintendo DS into a PDA? I would like, at the least, a calculator feature and a notepad. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.37.236.14 (talk) 17:03, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
 * There appears to be a Hello Kitty themed PDA cartridge with rather limited funcionality. This forum discussion goes into some depth for homebrew solutions (in short, you'll need a flash card reader to run homebrew software on the DS, then you can use something like DragonMinded DSOrganize) -- Ferkelparade &pi; 17:11, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Addendum: read the last forum post where the user says his experiment failed miserably because the DS is just too cumbersome to be used effectively, plus Dragonminded DSO doesn't seem to be available for download any more. So I guess it's Hello Kitty Daily or nothing... -- Ferkelparade &pi; 17:17, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I have to agree. I've used DragonMinded DSOrganize in the past.   I was really hoping that that it would allow my DS to replace my old PalmPilot.  The DSOrganize software is very well done, but ... I couldn't get "into" it. The DS is NOT a palm pilot, and it's just too awkward to become one for me.
 * However, if you have a flash cart (see Nintendo DS storage devices), it's worth a try! Maybe I'm just too picky! Here is RapidShare link that appears valid : .   Good luck. APL (talk) 03:07, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Album Info Status Quo
Hi I have an Album called status Quo, titled Status Quo - TATIONS on Marble Arch Records Album No MALS 1193 is it of any value —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.104.23.4 (talk) 19:35, 7 December 2010 (UTC)


 * While the album is listed at the Wikipedia article Status_Quo_discography Wikipedia does not have any article on the album itself. Information on record albums is often found at http://www.allmusic.com  Researching there can give you basic information about an album and provide a basic review of it.  As far as value, your best shot is to find someone who deals in antique record albums, and have it appraised.  This website lists a number of collectors associations; I in no way can vouch for any of them, but it is a place to start your search. -- Jayron  32  20:03, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
 * It appears that there is at least one seller who is offering vinyl versions of the album on Amazon.com. The price ranges from $18.00 to $36.00 US dollars. See here: 10draftsdeep (talk) 20:13, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
 * According to the 2010 Rare Record Price Guide published in the UK by Record Collector magazine, the album in Mint condition is worth £50 - that would equate to about £25 in Very Good condition, £15 for Good, £8 for Fair. The Marble Arch label, by the way, was an offshoot of Pye Records that specialised in releasing cheap compilation albums.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 20:38, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
