May 11[edit]

State capitol renovation boom since the 2000s[edit]

Does somebody else also notice a kind of renovation boom of the 50 US state capitols? Minnesota's is being renovated, Kansas was just finished, Tennessee had a renovation in 2012, there are plans of renovating Oklahoma's state capitol. Is there some kind of renovation boom for State capitols not seen in at least the last six decades? (As a bystanding information: the dome of the US capitol is also under renovation) 112.198.90.220 (talk) 13:39, 11 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Many of these buildings are at least a century old, so they're about due. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 14:20, 11 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

argentina[edit]

im trying to look for a poster or classic from argentina that shows the drawing of a bald headed man with needles in his head and displaying pain medication or medicine for headaches. do you think that you can help me find this ad photo or not? I don't remember the name of the medication. rsvp. thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.150.157.215 (talk) 18:48, 11 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Needles in his head" might indicate the man is receiving Acupuncture supposed to relieve his headache, or be an image used in a medical advertisement to symbolise the pain of a headache. Either way, I don't think the Ref. Desk can give medical advice beyond referring to the articles Headache#Management and Management of chronic headaches (which classes Acupuncture as a non-medicinal treatment). 84.209.89.214 (talk) 19:24, 11 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Umm, 84.209: as I read it, the OP is asking for help finding a particular poster, not asking for any kind of medical advice, or about any medical subject!. --ColinFine (talk) 20:58, 11 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
