	Fur (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Fur served as an important source of clothing for humans, especially in cold countries, where it remains a popular luxury item.
		Producers and wearers of fur have recently been criticized because of mounting beliefs that animal trapping and fur farms are cruel, and that the killing of animals for clothing is made unnecessary by modern natural and synthetic fibers.
		Fur trappers explored and opened up large parts of North America, and the fashion for beaver hats led to intense competition for supplies of raw materials.

	Tincture (heraldry) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Azure is from the Arabic lazward meaning lapis lazuli; sable is named for the fur of the sable marten; and gules is from the French gueules, which is thought to refer to animal's red throats.
		The main duty of a heraldic device is to be recognized, and the dark colours or light metals are supposed to be too difficult to distinguish if they are placed on top of other dark or light colours.
		Furs, such as ermine, ermines, or vair, are regular variations of the field that represent various types of actual fur.

	Schroeder/Schroder/Schrotter Heraldic Arms Part I
		Heralds initially served as court messengers and were identified by the white staffs they carried and the short sleeved coats called a tabard bearing the armorial devices of their masters worn as the symbols of their office.
		Later, as heralds became the recognized experts on heraldic arms and the rules governing their creation and use, this led to heralds being empowered to design heraldic arms for newly created knights and nobles or for communities and organizations awarded arms.
		Use of personal heraldic arms is not officially encouraged and the use of the “von” in front of surnames or hereditary noble titles in Austria has been outlawed since the fall of the Austrian monarchy.

	THE IMPERIAL COLLEGE OF HERALDRY OF THE HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE
		Where once the German heralds granted arms on behalf of monarchs, their place has now been taken by a number of heraldic societies (for private individuals) and state government (for local authorities), although in both cases the cerification of arms is purely a registration process, without any formal authority to grant armorial bearings.
		The First Heralds were probably wandering minstrels whose ability to memorize the great heroic songs of love and war made them well suited for remembering and recounting the devices on the shields that they saw on their travels all over Europe.
		The heralds of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance claimed to trace the origin of our office from the caduceator, a Roman official who, as you can guess, carried a caduceus, the emblem of Mercury, who was the herald of Olympus.

	Fur
		Fur fetishism is the name popularly used to describe a fetishistic attraction to people wearing fur, or in certain cases, to the garments themselves.
		One reason why fur may be fetishised is perhaps that the garment forms a "second skin" that acts as a fetishistic surrogate for the wearer's own skin.
		One of the earliest documented examples of fur fetishism was the case of the eponymic Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, both in real life, and in his semi-autobiographical novel Venus in Furs (Venus im Pelz).

		(In German heraldry, "fur proper" is sometimes used, but this is rare in the extreme.) (Although the name "sable" comes from a kind of fur, the colour sable is not considered a heraldic fur.)
		According to the article, furs are distinct from tinctures.
		The article should therefore be split and the sections about furs be moved to fur (heraldry).
