Guest: Eddie Arcaro
September 8th, 1957
|WALLACE: Good evening. What you are about to witness is an unrehearsed, uncensored interview. My name is Mike Wallace. The cigarette is Phillip Morris.
|WALLACE: Tonight we go after the story of horse racing, jockeys and gambling from the most celebrated jockey in America. You see him behind me, he's Eddie Arcaro, winner of five Kentucky Derbys and twenty-two million dollars in purses in the past twenty-five years. If you're curious to hear what Eddie Arcaro thinks of bookies, bettors and legalized gambling, if you want to get his opinion of the best horses of our time and if you'd like to know what kind of man Eddie Arcaro is off the track, we'll go after those stories in just a moment. My guest's opinions are not necessarily mine, the station's or my sponsor's Philip Morris Incorporated but whether you agree or disagree, we feel that none will deny the right of these views to be broadcast.
|WALLACE: And now to our story. Eddie Arcaro is the front runner in the "Sport of Kings", horse racing which last year drew track attendance of more than fifteen million racing fans. The biggest money winning jockey of all time, Eddie Arcaro admits to making at least two hundred thousand dollars a year for getting his mounts across the finish line first. Matter of fact, he's so good that when he loses the two dollar bettors boo him off the track and grumble that he wasn't really trying. Eddie, first of all let me ask you this. I'd like your candid reaction to a fairly typical attack on horse racing. I quote from an article called "Horse Players Die Broke" written by Dennis Sprague in World Magazine back in October of Nineteen forty-four. Mr. Sprague wrote as follows: He said "No sport has attracted the leech-like affection of the shifty crook, the glib bottom dealer, the homicidal racketeer, the unscrupulous fixer, the reckless hothead with criminal intent, the slimy cheat, the cheap chiseler, the bombastic wise guy and the plain louse that racing has." End quote. What about it?
|ARCARO: Well, I've never heard of this fellow. What did you say his name was?
|WALLACE: Dennis Sprague, World Magazine, which I believe is now defunct.
|ARCARO: Well, it should have been defunct before he wrote that but -- racing certainly couldn't be that bad, Mike, and stand up under your racing commissions and the protection that racing has given itself inwardly.
|WALLACE: I suppose he's talking principally about off track betting and the kind of people who are attracted therefore on track because of booking establishments and one thing and another.
|ARCARO: Well of course I have to I have to agree with one thing, that people come to the race track to bet, the majority of the people anyway.
|WALLACE: If gambling at tracks were banned Eddie, what kind of future do you think that you and horse racing would have?
|ARCARO: Well, I don't want that to happen because I'll be out of business, I don't want that to happen, Mike.
|WALLACE: You think you would be out of business?
|ARCARO: Without gambling?
|WALLACE: Yes.
|ARCARO: Oh, certainly, I definitely think... I don't think that it would survive without gambling.
|WALLACE: Well now, what's all this talk then about the "Sport of Kings" and bettering the breed, improving the breed and some of the high-sounding phrases that we hear bandied about, about horse racing and have for many years?
|ARCARO: Well, the "Sport of Kings" racing was the "Sport of Kings" but it isn't any more. Racing belongs to the public and many people that own horses aren't very, very wealthy people. There are many people that make a living out of owning and racing horses. The "Sport of Kings" goes way back into England but since it's been brought and made a business of in this country, it certainly isn't the "Sport of Kings".
|WALLACE: All right. Then it is a business?
|ARCARO: Certainly, it's big business.
|WALLACE: And as far as you're concerned you think that probably the tracks would go bankrupt if gambling were not permitted. Now why? What I -- This is the thing that seems to me difficult to understand. As far as horse racing or dog racing is concerned, you can bet; but this is the virtually the only sport in which betting is permitted. For what reason?
|ARCARO: What reason? Well, let's be fair about the thing. The State of New York last year derived fifty or sixty million dollars in revenue from flat racing alone. I don't know what it took from the trotters so the states need racing. I think they need racing. If they didn't have that revenue, it certainly would mean an added taxation on the public...
|WALLACE: Then you think that --
|ARCARO: ...that's number one.
|WALLACE: Number one, OK.
|ARCARO: Racing, as I say, the states need racing for the revenue.
|WALLACE: Well, why should racing get preferential treatment? Why should that sport get preferential treatment over baseball, or football or hockey, or whatever?
|ARCARO: Well, I don't think baseball has ever asked for Mutuels, have they?
|WALLACE: Well, I imagine that the betting fans, the baseball fans probably would love to have some kind of a betting commissioner for baseball if it was legalized.
|ARCARO: Well, all the states then are being cheated, Mike, because in a recent Gallup Poll that was taken, racing out of every dollar bet in the United States, racing received seven percent of the dollar, the rest was bet on baseball, football, hockey, all of the other sports took the other ninety-three percent.
|WALLACE: And most of it illegally bet?
|ARCARO: Naturally it's illegally bet. The states aren't deriving any revenue from it at all.
|WALLACE: As far as you're concerned, would you like to see betting legalized for these other sports?
|ARCARO: Well, I don't know enough about it and I'm not qualified to answer that, but I do know that racing is the only sport that does contribute to the states and the government.
|WALLACE: When you say you're not qualified, I'm not asking you as a legal authority, I'm just asking as far as you're concerned, as a human being what is your opinion, do you think that we should have, should be permitted?
|ARCARO: Well, I believe this, Mike, that if the people are going to bet the money that the state is certainly entitled to the revenue from gambling.
|WALLACE: That's not the point that I'm making. Do you believe that we should be permitted to bet legally on baseball, football, et cetera, et cetera?
|ARCARO: Yes. I know if I was betting I'd rather be betting it legally than illegally.
|WALLACE: And you think that they should have that opportunity, we should have that opportunity?
|ARCARO: Absolutely.
|WALLACE: I'd like to read you a statement, Eddie. And I want to know if you honestly can say that you disagree with it entirely. It was made by a spokesman for the majority of the Protestant Churches in New York State, the Reverend Paul Rochelle and I quote from the New York Times of October twelve, Nineteen fifty-four: Reverend Rochelle said, "We are opposed to gambling of all kinds. It is a moral evil. When you attach a monetary value to something that has an element of chance it has a demoralizing effect." And he concludes by saying "Gambling is the scourge of modern life in the United States." Do you think that he's completely wrong?
|ARCARO: Well, I think he's completely wrong, naturally I do. They're -- they gambled way before our time, Mike, and they're going to gamble when you and I are long gone.
|WALLACE: But you're not you don't suggest that it has a beneficial effect upon society to gamble, do you or do you?
|ARCARO: No, I don't think it has a beneficial effect. I don't think that it hurts anybody. I know my I love to have my children go to the races which they're allowed to in California. They're not allowed to in the State of New York on account of the age limit but I don't it hasn't bothered them. I think that racing is a good clean sport.
|WALLACE: Would you like, now I'm talking about gambling, not specifically racing but gambling. Would you just as soon that your youngsters bet on baseball games, or football games, or turtle races?
|ARCARO: Well, I don't -- they're not they're not old enough to understand the gambling part of it but they like it and I think that as they grow older that any sport that is a competitive sport gives you more of a thrill when you gamble.
|WALLACE: It's been suggested that gambling can have it's been suggested by the Reverend Rochelle, that gambling can have a demoralizing effect though. This is what I'm getting at. Here you are, one of the greatest athletes of our time but you've just admitted that you depend for your living upon gambling and gambling has a demoralizing effect according to the Reverend, this...
|ARCARO: It hasn't demoralized me.
|WALLACE: We'll get back to it again after a while. When you're upon a horse you know that hundreds of thousands of people at the track around the country are either betting for you or against you. Some of them may, not very many of them, but some of them may even risk every cent they have. Does that bother you?
|ARCARO: Well, it doesn't bother me, Mike. No, my end of the business isn't on the gambling end. Of course, I'm riding for a percentage of the purses put up, but Mike, I don't advocate anybody going to the race track losing money that might hurt them. I think that people who go to the race track and bet the two dollar the two dollars and I think racing feels that way too, they'd rather have people that go there and spend the days where it would cost them ten or fifteen dollars as you would go -- to come to New York and have dinner and go to a picture show. In other words, you just pay for the day's amusement.
|WALLACE: What do you think of a man of average means who bets on the horses to make money not just for the sport of it or for the fun of it, but to make money?
|ARCARO: Well, he hasn't got much chance, I don't think.
|WALLACE: What do you mean by that?
|ARCARO: Well, he's got sixteen percent taken away from his money before he bets, Mike, so breaking it right down he's at a disadvantage. He doesn't have much chance of winning or breaking the bank of any kind.
|WALLACE: Do you bet?
|ARCARO: No, I don't bet, but as I say, I'm working on a percentage basis and that's gamble enough.
|WALLACE: Do many jockeys bet?
|ARCARO: Not any more, Mike, not in this new era of jockeys. I've been riding a long time, twenty-five years, and I did go through an era where the jockeys did bet a lot of money but none of them wound up with anything. All the betting jocks wound up broke.
|WALLACE: After you lose a race, Eddie, it's common practice for the fans to boo you; maybe some of them even curse at you. Does that bother you at all?
|ARCARO: It did at one time in my life, Mike. It affected me terribly, but I think the fellow that helped me more than anybody that I... that I know of now is "Old Granny Rice", who wrote a poem about me. I think the name of it was entitled "Eddie, They Never Boo A Bum." It kind of helped me out.
|WALLACE: They boo you I'm told I'm not that much of a race fan, but they boo you because some of them feel that Eddie Arcaro is out to win and if he feels that he can't win then he's not particularly interested in placing or showing because there's no pay-off to you on a place or show race therefore unless you're really up there you don't take care of their place and show bets as hard as you might.
|ARCARO: Well, naturally, Mike, when people lose their money they have a lot of different thinking, but my percentage shows that I've been in the money over a period of twenty-five years, fifty percent of the time so I couldn't have been pulling up out of the place and show very often.
|WALLACE: We'll get back again to some of this a bit later, Eddie, but now if I may, I'd like to find out about Eddie Arcaro specifically and jockeys in general. In your autobiography, "I Ride To Win", you wrote this, you said "I was never robust and when other kids of my age were choosing up sides for baseball and football, I was left out because I was too small." Did you become a jock because horse racing was one of the few sports where a little man can be big?
|ARCARO: I believe so. I couldn't compete in football or baseball in school and plus the fact that I was raised in Kentucky, that had a little to do with it.
|WALLACE: You mean to becoming a jock? You're about five-two, I believe.
|ARCARO: Five-three.
|WALLACE: How much do you weigh?
|ARCARO: Well right now I guess I weigh about a hundred and ten.
|WALLACE: Are you I don't suppose anymore but were you pretty sensitive, are other jockeys sensitive about being short, about being light?
|ARCARO: No, I'm awfully glad that I was short. I don't know what I would have done if I had of been tall; I'd probably been pushing a banana cart or something, Mike.
|WALLACE: Is that where "Banana Nose" came from? I understand that your... that's your nickname.
|ARCARO: No, it didn't come from that. Don Meed, who was a jockey back about ten years ago, and a very good one, nicknamed all jockeys and hung "banana nose" on me, which isn't too hard to see why.
|WALLACE: Yes, I understand. How much schooling did you have, Eddie?
|ARCARO: Eighth grade.
|WALLACE: You talk like a man who's had considerably more. Is it because having won all the money that you have won over the years and therefore traveled with certain kinds of people you've been exposed to a different kind of education?
|ARCARO: Well, I think that I'm worldly wise, that I have had a wonderful education, and naturally being a celebrity in my life I have met wonderful people and affiliated with them that's helped me, and naturally I read quite a bit. Besides the racing form.
|WALLACE: Do you socialize a good deal with other jockeys?
|ARCARO: Not very much, Mike. Racing, riding is a competitive sport and I don't socialize with them for many reasons. I don't run away from it but in riding, naturally, the secret is getting on the best horse. Well, how do you have dinner with a jockey tonight and get on if he happens to be on a good horse, what we call "summering him out of the mount." So I avoid that and I don't socialize with the jockeys.
|WALLACE: You mean, in a sense, you compete for business.
|ARCARO: That's absolutely right.
|WALLACE: And your business is getting the best horses.
|ARCARO: Getting the best horses.
|WALLACE: Just the way anyone of us competes for business.
|ARCARO: Same way. I have an agent and we try to keep track of all the good horses throughout the United States and when one of them comes up we all fight to get on him.
|WALLACE: Of course I know, this is going to be dull stuff maybe to horse fans, but there are lots of other people looking in too, if I'm not prying too deep, then you tell me when I do. I'd like to know the economics of a jockey's life. First of all, you got a horse, last night for instance, or yesterday, you went out to California to run in the "Del Mar Futurity" which you won. And I believe the winner's take was about $40,000. You get how much of that $40,000?
|ARCARO: Ten percent, Mike.
|WALLACE: In other words, you make $4,000 for riding that race yesterday.
|ARCARO: That's right. It took a minute and nine seconds.
|WALLACE: For the $4,000. And is it accurate when I say that you make about $200,000 a year?
|ARCARO: I'll gross about that out of riding, yes.
|WALLACE: For how many years have you done that?
|ARCARO: Well I've, of course, racing has just become big this big rather in the past fifteen years, since 1940. The purses have become real big. Before that the purses were small, but I think in comparison to buying power jockeys, top jockeys always were highly paid athletes, the highest.
|WALLACE: In other words, your purses of $22 million odd over the last quarter century is it?
|ARCARO: Right.
|WALLACE: Your take has been about 2 million 200 thousand out of that money.
|ARCARO: Yes.
|WALLACE: The average working jock, does he get his expenses paid when he goes to... How does it work? How are jockeys paid?
|ARCARO: Jockeys are paid $20 for every mount they ride and they get $25 if they're third and $35 if they're second and $50 for a winner. But the winner generally gets 10 per cent of the purse excepting in your big races like your futurities or the Garden State where the purses are so big place and show they generally get 10 per cent back.
|WALLACE: You're 41 years old now?
|ARCARO: Right.
|WALLACE: You probably have, in spite of taxes and all, a fair amount stashed away. Why don't you retire, Eddie?
|ARCARO: Too much fun, Mike, and I haven't got that much money, really.
|WALLACE: You have other means of income, do you, in addition to your riding horses?
|ARCARO: I've tried about everything, Mike. I'm in the oil business; I have a saddlery; but as I just finished saying, I haven't got that kind of money to ever retire and live the way I'd like to live.
|WALLACE: Is racing a dangerous sport for a jockey? The reason I say that is last May 10th the Associated Press reported that a 51-year-old jockey, Claude Hooper, was very seriously injured in a racing accident. Now you're 41, getting along up there. For instance, do you think a 51-year-old man should be allowed to race?
|ARCARO: It's according to how good he is. Longden is around 49 or 50 years old, and in fact, he just had his leg broken. But racing isn't really that dangerous; I don't think it is, anyway.
|WALLACE: Jockeys are a pretty close-knit circle, are they?
|ARCARO: Close-knit? I don't know how you mean that.
|WALLACE: You said they're competitive in going after horses but is there a kind of professional camaraderie among them?
|ARCARO: Well, they are pretty well close.
|WALLACE: What I'm driving at, I don't mean to make it tough for you. Supposing a jock's in a bad slump and he's in financial straits before a race, what is to prevent, seriously, the favorite jockeys in the race from getting together and saying, let's take it easy, let's let Joe take this one?
|ARCARO: I don't think jocks think that way, plus the fact that we do have a Jockeys Guild, Mike, that has enough, plenty of money to take care of them kind of riders that are in straits. See what the average public doesn't know, Mike, and we might be getting a little in front of the thing, there are 950 active riders in the United States and I think the average rider doesn't make a living. I really don't believe he makes a decent living.
|WALLACE: Is that so?
|ARCARO: So you're building it up on my end, but the average rider probably makes about $7500 a year and traveling with the family and everything I actually don't believe he makes a living.
|WALLACE: But the jocks just -- they're they're sufficiently selfish and sufficiently hungry all of them, all the time, no matter how much they make.
|ARCARO: Tough group of guys.
|WALLACE: Have you ever been asked to throw a race?
|ARCARO: No, I haven't, Mike, and I don't know. There would be no reason to be asked that. Why would anybody ask you to throw a race? There would have to be a reason for it.
|WALLACE: You've never, never been asked to throw a race?
|ARCARO: Never.
|WALLACE: Let me read something to you, an article about you in American Magazine September '46 called "Mr. Stopwatch Up," by Beverly Smith. Smith wrote: "I asked Eddie whether he had ever been approached with an offer of a bribe to throw a race." "Yes," he said, "I have been through that. They tried it more in the old days. Now, with odds at the track regulated by the Mutual Machine it's harder for a racketeer to make a killing that way, but they haven't tried it on me for a long time."
|ARCARO: Who wrote that, Mike?
|WALLACE: Beverly Smith, "Mr. Stopwatch Up," in American Magazine, September 1946, quoting you as saying, "Yes, I have been through that."
|ARCARO: I've never been approached to pull a horse that I remember.
|WALLACE: We're going to talk about the drugging of race horses, if it's all right with you, in just about a minute, Eddie Arcaro. We have a quote here from the former chief scientist of the Thoroughbred Racing Association, Dr. John Kader. We'll get to Eddie Arcaro and ask about drugging of horses in just sixty seconds.
|WALLACE: Now, then, Ed, what do you think of this charge about drugging race horses to make them run faster. The former chief scientist of the Thoroughbred Racing Association, Dr. John Kader, wrote this in Life Magazine back in January 31, 1955. He said, "Despite all known tests anybody who knows the right drugs can hop as many horses as he wants to at any track in the country and never be caught at it." He goes on to say, "I can only assume that dozens, perhaps hundreds of people in racing do know about these drugs and that they are in constant use day in and day out." What about it?
|ARCARO: Gosh, I can't hardly believe that. Mike, for every winner in the United States, there is a saliva test plus a urine test taken of it.
|WALLACE: Saliva and urine?
|ARCARO: Saliva and urine.
|WALLACE: Right after the race.
|ARCARO: Yes, immediately after the race, plus another fact that they take either second or third horse in the same race and take saliva and urine test of him. Out of 18 thousand races run last year there were only 50 positive cases found of which none of them were narcotics such as heroin or if they have tried to do something wrong, it was with dexedrine or caffeine, some mild form of stimulant, which I don't believe would make a horse win. I have taken dextrin in my life and I think that a lot of other people have who have been on long airplane trips.
|WALLACE: How in the world then, can Dr. John Kader, the former chief scientist of the Thoroughbred Racing Association, make that statement?
|ARCARO: I don't know. He should get a stable of horses and see how long he'd last. He probably wouldn't last two days.
|WALLACE: Eddie, you're giving racing a pretty clean bill of health. As a matter of fact, when we talked ahead of time, a couple of weeks ago on the telephone to set up this interview, you said in a sense, "Yes, Mike, I'd like to come on in spite of the fact that a lot of people have told me not to come on because I want to do what I can for racing." You once said in the New York Post just this year, in June, "I'll do anything I can for this game. It's been good to me, I owe it plenty. I'll never say anything against it." Could it be you're being influenced by that loyalty here tonight?
|ARCARO: No, I don't believe so, Mike. I don't think that racing has anything to hide. I think that racing has really done, went and hired a great organization called the T.R.B.P.A., which has employed or has in its employment 90 per cent of the men out of the F.B.I. organization. I think that they have really done a wonderful job on your ringer cases which they tattoo all young horses, lip tattoo. Every person that owns a horse on the race track is screened before he is allowed to own horses. All jockeys, trainers, grooms are fingerprinted and screened, so I don't think racing has anything to hide. They really went after their own inward self.
|WALLACE: One final question. I think it's going to be our final question, and we're coming back to gambling. You say that racing would die if betting, pari-mutuel betting, were to die. What do you think of legalized gambling on a national basis? For instance, a national lottery.
|ARCARO: I think it would probably pay off the national debt, a national lottery.
|WALLACE: You're all for it?
|ARCARO: Yes, I would be for it.
|WALLACE: And would you like to see legal betting at baseball games? I'm back at you again on this one. Football games, so forth?
|ARCARO: Mike, as long as they're going to gamble, I think you should let them gamble, so that the states, and the government could derive an income from it.
|WALLACE: And you think the gangsters can be kept out of it, the racketeers can be kept out of it?
|ARCARO: Certainly.
|WALLACE: Eddie Arcaro, I thank you very much for coming and spending this time, particularly I thank you for flying back from California last night to be with us here today.
|ARCARO: Thank you, Mike.
|WALLACE: Right. Eddie Arcaro has in the past told reporters, "I don't need personal publicity and I don't want anyone thinking I set myself up as the last word on what the jocks should do, but I'll tell you what I think, what I do, and why I do it, because I want to do something for racing.' I think you'll agree as a jockey and as a spokesman for horseracing, Eddie Arcaro represents the very best. A rundown on next week's interview and special announcement in just a moment.
|WALLACE: Beginning next week and thereafter the Mike Wallace Interview moves to Saturday night at the same time. For our first Saturday night program next week we will go after the story of a man who has entertained America for almost half a century; you see him behind me. He is George Jessel. We will find out what George Jessel thinks of America's sense of humor, why he accepts money for charity performances and why he wants to be the United States Ambassador to Israel. Because prior committments made it impossible for us tonight to bring you an interview that we had planned with Governor Orval Faubus of Arkansas, next Sunday at this time, we'll bring you a special interview with Governor Faubus from the Governor's Mansion in Little Rock, we will try to find out what are the Governor's ambitions, motives, prejudices and, if any, his regrets. We will go after those stories next Sunday. Next Saturday on our new schedule our first guest will be Georgie Jessel. Until then, for Philip Morris, Mike Wallace; good night.
|ANNCR: Be sure to read this coming week's cover story on Newsweek magazine called "TV's Mike Wallace and the Hot See," an interview and debt of Mike by Newsweek reporters. The Mike Wallace interview is brought to you by Philip Morris Incorporated, The Quality House.

Supriya Pathak won the Best Actor in a Supporting Role Award in Filmfare Awards 2014. She arrived with her husband Pankaj Kapoor who also was nominated for the Best Actor in a Supporting Role Award but lost out to Nawazuddin Siddiqui. His fabulous performance in The Lunchbox earned Nawazuddin Siddiqui this prestigious Filmfare Award.
Filmfare Awards 2014: Winners List
It is interesting to know that both Pankaj Kapoor and wife Supriya are nominated respectively for best male actor in a supporting role and best female actor in a supporting role. Nawazuddin Siddiqui made the industry felt his presence in B town through Anurag Kashyap's Gangs of Wasseypur.
Supriya Pathak, a great actor who did iconic films like Raakh and Sarkar, already has two filmfare awards in her kitty. While Shyam Benegal's corporate saga Kalyug fetched her best supporting female actor award in 1982, Bazaar earned her another award in 1983. Her realistic act in Ram Gopal Varma's magnum opus Sarkar was highly appreciated. She played the wife of Amitabh Bachchan's Subhash Nagre in the film.
Pankaj Kapoor, on the other hand, has delivered excellent performances in films like Raakh, Abba Ji and Maqbool. The thespian, who also happens to be the brother in law of Naseeruddin shah, is a three time National Award Winner. Media pampers him by calling 'the walking acting school'. Compared to him, the winner Nawazuddin Siddiqui is starting his actual career in Bollywood. It is Anurag Kashyap who found his talent and gave him roles that shot him to fame.

We call your fee a
commissioning fee because we are artists first and photographers second.
A sitting fee covers only the time during which the pictures are taken, which is
often limited at other studios. When you pay Abundant Moments,
you are paying not only for the time spent taking your precious pictures, but
also the time spent cropping and color correcting each individual image, and
most importantly the time spent designing unique and beautiful collages,
storybooks, and other unique items for you to treasure or give to loved ones. Additionally,
this covers online hosting, as your images will be posted online after your
proof viewing for your family and friends to enjoy.
We also include basic retouching
in this price and color changes such as sepia, black and white
and custom color/spot color. Other studios will charge
$10 - $200 for this service, adding quite a bit onto the bottom
line. The service at Abundant Moments also includes a consultation
to decide what sizes and frames would best fit your needs
and decor. Bring us a digital image of your walls or
area, and we will help you decide what needs to be created
for that space.
It is for these reasons that we encourage you to come in for our free
in studio or phone consultation to discuss what to
wear and what you are looking for. We want your pictures
to reflect who you truly are. Bring pictures of your
family, a scrapbook, photo ideas, lists of things you want...
anything that helps us know more about you and who you are.
The more we know about your life, your love, your passion
- the better pictures we can take.

First Moments
Many new parents are taking advantage of our First Moments
Plan. Read more about this fabulous plan which covers
your session fees and gives you large discounts and
perks for a whole year here.
We feel here at Abundant Moments that these first few days
of your babies life are the most precious of all.
Often parents wait several weeks before taking their first
pictures. By then, your little one is no longer the
wrinkled new version of themselves. While still beautiful,
there is a newborn element that is lost. We offer a
special for newborns where for the same on location commissioning
fee we come to the hospital for the first images and then
you finish your shoot at the studio within two weeks of the
baby's birth. This way we capture those precious first
moments and you still receive the benefit of our extraordinary
newborn studio shots.
Many parents then choose to have us design and create their
announcements from that hospital shoot and pick them up, envelopes
and all when they come in for their studio portion of the
shoot. Many times we will schedule that studio shoot
for a day or two after the hospital shoot to get both views.
and Proofing
We guarantee you will have entirely different looks and
poses from your session. Your pictures are ready to view within
7 days and once you have chosen your images, your finished
portraits are ready within 14 days - guaranteed! At
your proof viewing, we watch a beautiful slideshow of your
images and then customize your package. The slideshow
is yours to take home as long as you return to the studio
for viewing, and all your images are available on the website
for you and family to view as soon as you leave the studio
from your viewing session. You also have the option of
viewing and purchasing all images online for your

Fashion From The Critics' Choice Awards 2015
Ah, award season is in full swing. While the rich and famous pat each other on the back and hand out awards, we watch for our favourites to win and hope to get a glimpse of upcoming fashion. Last night was the Critics' Choice Award celebrating the best in film. These awards are not televised, but are just as important as the Oscars because the votes are coming from critics themselves.
Luckily there were myriad photographers to capture some fabulous fashion moments.
A big trend is to opt for lighter shades – either completely white or pale grays. We LOVE what Jessica Chastain, Leslie Mann and Marion Cotillard wore.
Emily Blunt wore the next biggest red carpet trend, which is, of course, red. The open shoulders and stunning beadwork make this dress a huge win.
Diane Kruger has yet to show up in a miss. This gown reminds me of a fabulous vacation dress! Take us with you, Diane.
Golden Globe 2015 Fashion Hits
First I want to say that I'm not much into award shows. I watch them for the red carpet and then for the opening monologues. In this case, two of my favourite human women, Amy Poehler and Tiny Fey were stellar as hosts. They didn't pull any punches, especially where Bill Cosby was concerned, but I digress. As for the fashion portion, the stars did not disappoint…well maybe one or two did, but who cares?
It was hot in Los Angeles and apparently the A.C. wasn't working at the venue, which is why some of your favourite celebs seemed a little shiny. Despite that, there were some pretty awesome fashion choices. I loved Emma Stone's Lanvin jumpsuit, she looked so sleek and Sienna Miller's Miu Miu gown was to die for. Here are some of the best looks of the evening.
Steal The Look
This is my final post for 2014. I figured, why not get inspired for 2015 with these awesome celebrity looks? Thanks for checking out the site this year, we hope you enjoyed it. Happy New Year!

The Clinical and Economic Burden of Corticosteroid Adverse Events (AEs): A Systematic Literature Review.
Sarnes2, Evelyn F., Watson1, Maria E.
GlaxoSmithKline, Research Triangle Park, NC
Xcenda, Palm Harbor, FL
Systemic corticosteroids are an important and commonly used therapy; however, their use must be balanced against a set of side effects. This study evaluated the clinical and economic burden of systemic corticosteroid AEs in a wide variety of patient populations. A secondary objective was to consider the clinical and economic impact of reducing daily corticosteroid doses.
A systematic review of 20072009 studies retrieved by a predefined search strategy in Medline, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library, as well as AHRQ, NICE, and NHS HEED (free text) was performed to supplement an existing literature review. Relevant articles (observational and intervention studies) evaluated incidence/relative risk of AEs following corticosteroid use or the relationship between dose/duration and AEs. Case studies, studies in infants, and studies with inhaled corticosteroids were excluded. Titles/abstracts of retrieved articles were screened for eligibility. A secondary search, based on citations from other systematic reviews and including pre-2007 articles, was conducted to obtain data on psychiatric conditions, infections, and peptic ulcers. Information about dose-response relationships was combined with cost data from the literature to estimate the cost implications of a dose reduction for two corticosteroid AEs.
A total of 323 articles were evaluated from the primary search; 27 were included. Excluded articles did not focus on corticosteroid AEs (n=70), were case studies (n=50), evaluated corticosteroid efficacy (n=38), or evaluated therapy to alleviate corticosteroid AEs (n=13). The secondary search added 20 studies. Overall, 25 were retrospective in design, 13 were conducted in the US and 21 in Europe. The AEs for which the literature contained the greatest number of reports were psychiatric events (18 reports), infections (15), gastrointestinal (GI) conditions (14), and fracture (11). Common AEs (>30% incidence) with a greater number of reports were sleep disturbances, lipodystrophy, adrenal suppression, and hypertension. The incidence of fracture varied by location: wrist fracture, Colles' fracture, and lower limb fracture were generally low (incidence 35%). Vertebral fractures were more common (range, 2130%). Severe GI AEs were less frequent (ulcers, 15%; bleeding, 35%). Despite wide variability in study design, population, daily dose, conditions treated, and treatment duration, most AEs (fracture, myocardial infarction (MI), weight gain, infections, glaucoma, and psychiatric events) demonstrated a dose-response pattern with increasing daily dose. Studies of fractures and MIs demonstrated the clearest dose-response relationship. As such, reducing daily dose requirements may reduce AE clinical and economic burden. For example, dose reduction from 7.515 mg/day to <7.5 mg/day may avoid 96 fractures per 10,000 elderly patients at $18,358 per fracture and a reduction from >10 mg/day to <=10 mg/day avoid 19 MIs per 10,000 patients at $26,472 per MI (US $ 2009).
The clinical and economic burden of corticosteroid AEs is substantial; lowering the daily dose requirements may lower the incidence of many AEs.

Check N levels in manured cornfields this June
Cornfields that have had applications of animal manures or commercially prepared nitrogen fertilizers should be checked in early June for nitrate levels. The results can be used to evaluate and improve nitrogen (N) management practices.
Animal manures contain large amounts of nitrogen needed during corn production. Surveys show, however, that most corn producers do not make adequate adjustments when they purchase and apply commercially prepared N fertilizers. This finding suggests a general lack of appreciation for the potential of animal manure as a fertilizer and as an environmental pollutant.
An effective way to demonstrate the value of manure as a source of plant-available N is to use the late-spring test for soil nitrate after animal manures and commercial fertilizers have been applied. Corn producers usually are surprised by what they learn. The test often shows that nitrate concentrations are two or three times higher than those needed by the crop. In many fields, however, the test reveals that large amounts of nitrogen from manure and fertilizer were lost before it was needed by the crop.
It is well established that much of the nitrogen in manure can be lost as ammonia soon after application, and that the percentages of N lost vary greatly with site conditions. It also is well established that carbonaceous materials in animal manures promote substantial losses of plant-available N by immobilization and/or denitrification under some conditions. Marked variability in losses of plant-available N by these mechanisms helps explain why corn producers consider animal manures to be an unreliable source of N for corn production.
Problems caused by variability in losses of plant-available N from manured cornfields were insurmountable in the past, but they can be addressed today. An effective approach is to apply no commercially prepared N fertilizer before corn is about six inches tall, and to use the late-spring test to make site-specific assessments of N fertilizer needs. This approach makes it possible to apply N fertilizer only where needed. Details for using this soil test are provided in a new ISU Extension publication, Nitrogen Fertilizer Recommendations for Corn in Iowa, Pm-1714.
Information provided by the soil test has two noteworthy benefits. First, it will help producers avoid costly applications of unneeded commercial fertilizers after manures are applied. Second, it should help producers select rates and methods of application that make manure a more reliable source of N for corn production. The overall effect should be a substantial net reduction in the amounts of N applied to soils and lost from soils.
Only small investments of time and money are needed to use the late-spring test to evaluate current N management practices. Collecting and testing two or three samples from each of three or four fields should provide a reasonable evaluation for most producers. Mounting evidence suggests that crop and livestock producers cannot afford the economic and environmental costs of not conducting routine annual evaluations of N management practices on their manured fields.

The Butte Creek Mill and General Store is still one of Southern Oregon's favorite destinations today as people come to take home the whole grain goodness of mills flours baking mixes and many culinary treats along with a whole lot of history.
The mill began operation in 1872, built by the pioneers with double-bitted axes and hand saws felled trees that were already more than one hundred years old. Foundation pillars nearly two feet square, were hewn with broad axes; the beams were morticed together and secured to one another with hardwood pegs; boards for the walls were whipsawed from logs and nailed on with hand made square nails. The mill consists of a basement and three floors.

text: Chris Moyles apologises on Twitter after tax tribunal ruling Former Radio 1 DJ says he took "full responsibility" and had "learnt a valuable lesson" following the judgement Comments Written By Ben Dowell 9:12 AM, 22 February 2014 Chris Moyles, the former BBC Radio 1 DJ, has apologised after using a tax scheme in which he claimed to be a used car salesman. Moyles took to Twitter last night to say sorry for entering into the "Working Wheels" scheme in his 2008 tax return in what a tax tribunal ruled was a bid to avoid – unsuccessfully - tax on £1m of his earnings. The 40-year-old Moyles said on Twitter that he took "full responsibility" and had "learnt a valuable lesson" after a tax tribunal revealed his use of the scheme. Under the scheme, he claimed that charges he had incurred through a second-hand vehicle business meant he suffered a paper loss of more than £1 million, which he sought to set against his other tax liabilities in 2008. This tribunal hearing was called after Moyles appealed against the decision of HM Revenue & Customs to reject the claim. Moyles said on Twitter: "Upon advice, I signed up to a scheme which I was assured was legal. Despite this, my knowledge of the dealings of the scheme were naive. I'm not a tax expert and acted on advice I was given. This was a mistake and I accept the ruling without reservation." The scheme involved him telling HM Revenue & Customs that he had spent a year "engaged in self-employment as a used car trader" in 2008 - a time when he was presenting Radio 1's Breakfast Show. The written judgment from the Tax Chamber of the First-tier Tribunal said: "It is however quite clear from the statement that he too entered the scheme for no purpose other than to achieve a tax saving, and that he took no interest in the trade." A BBC statement said: "The BBC is not a party involved in this tribunal, and we understand that Chris Moyles has taken full responsibility for his tax arrangements, which are of course a matter for him and HMRC."

Mr Smith created the Wilberforce Award in 2010, amid a divisive political debate over whether we should have a "big Australia". Since then, the population has grown by 1 million but Mr Smith has still not found a candidate.
The $1 million is to go to a "young person under 30 who can impress me by becoming famous through his or her ability to show leadership in communicating an alternative to our population and consumption growth-obsessed economy".
The Bureau of Statistics' population clock was expected to reach 23 million around 10pm (AEST) on Tuesday night.
Mr Smith described the milestone as a "catastrophe". "That's not because of the number but because it signifies the fact our prime minister and leader of the opposition are not game to address the issue that you can't keep having population growth," he told The Australian Financial Review.
He said Bindi Irwin, the 14-year-old daughter of wildlife campaigner Steve Irwin, had come the closest so far but has not yet managed to have her voice heard over that of adults. As such, the $1 million was sitting in the bank accruing interest.
Big Australia immigration policy
In 2009, former prime minister
But when Julia Gillard ousted him, she distanced herself from high population growth, saying it was "unsustainable".
"Australia really does need that people power at the moment," he told ABC radio on Tuesday.
Mr Richardson said the legacy of the 2010 debate was that Australia was seen as anti-migration, a perception perpetuated by
"We were all so worried about big Australia, which in many ways was really a failed infrastructure debate rather than anything else, we became as a nation less enthused about migrants, and you can still see that in the numbers, and that is a mistake," he said.
"The commodity prices that we see today is the world's way of saying that they are desperate for Australia to grow faster."
But anti-growth campaigners say infrastructure and natural resources are already stretched to the limit.
The world's population is more than seven billion, so Australians represent just 0.3 per cent of humans on the planet.
Asked about the issue on Tuesday, Ms Gillard says Australia's population was still relatively low.
"By the standards of the world we are a relatively low-population country, but we have the 12th strongest economy in the world. Now that's an achievement," Ms Gillard told reporters.

Fall TV preview
What to watch, and what to watch out for, on the boob tube. By Allison Williams
Tue Aug 25 2009
Melrose Place
Time Out Ratings :<strong>Rating: </strong>0/5
Melrose Place (Tuesday, Sept 8, at 9pm on the CW)
Following the questionable success of the CW's 90210 remake, the Melrose Place apartment complex is again home to a group of sleazy, scheming hard bodies. Bitchy blond Ella (Katie Cassidy) does her best Heather Locklear impression, Ashlee Simpson-Wentz plays a self-proclaimed "good girl," and screw-up David (Shaun Sipos) manages to both alienate his father (ex-Melrose resident Michael Mancini, played by Thomas Callabro) and bed the landlady, Sydney (Laura Leighton). Wait, we were supposed to remember plot details from the original MP? No one told us there'd be a quiz 12 years later.
Moment to watch for: Five minutes in, when someone asks Sydney, "Are you threatening me?" Um, duh. Of course she is. Grab a Zima and take a seat, kids, ludicrous blackmail is how the ''90s were won.
Community (Thursday, Sept 17, at 9:30pm on NBC)
The recipe for NBC's sure-to-be-a-hit comedy is easy to parse. Take one ridiculous setting (community college), add two big comedy names (Chevy Chase and Joel McHale, both tall, sarcastic drinks of water) and blend with snappy dialogue. Chase's spacey return is especially welcome; the erstwhile Fletch has seen some rough years of late.
Moment to watch for: When the shyster student played by McHale (known for his biting commentary on The Soup) works up to an absurd fury to pull his fellow students out of their misanthropic despair ("Humans are the only species that recognizes Shark Week! Sharks don't recognize Shark Week!"). In that space between non sequitur and nonsense, comedy born.
Accidentally on Purpose (Monday, Sept 21, at 8:30pm on CBS)
Wait, is the whole cougar thing more palatable if she's knocked up? Let's try! Billie (Jenna Elfman) is a desperate career girl who's been dumped by her charming boss. So when a one-night stand with a young guy gets her pregnant, she decides to have both the baby and the boy toy. Frankly, instead of turning the tables on the older man--younger woman trope, these cougar story lines are merely sapping the dignity from everyone involved.
Moment to watch for: Billie's friends suggest she unconsciously got pregnant on purpose. "If I don't do it now, I may never get another chance," she says when deciding to keep the baby. Well, that sounds like a good reason to start a family!
The Good Wife (Tuesday, Sept 22, at 10pm on CBS)
What are those Silda Spitzer/Jenny Sanford types thinking when they back up their philandering husbands at press conferences? This ripped-from-the-headlines drama may be as close as we get to finding out. When a cheating politician (Chris Noth) goes to the clink, his wife (Julianna Margulies) returns to her long-defunct law career to bring home the bacon.
Moment to watch for: When the titular wife—played by Margulies in a well-calibrated daze—realizes that she and a recent grad will be duking it out for the firm's lone associate position. The onetime supportive spouse turning into a fighter, especially in a law office staffed by Christine Baranski and Josh Charles, should make for solid drama.
Cougar Town (Wednesday, Sept 23, at 9:30pm on ABC)
Old ladies like to have sex with barely legal men. Really old ladies, like, women over 40! Ha, that's so funny! Right? Hilarious? No? Oh, then maybe you don't want to see Courteney Cox playing a cougar-in-training.
Moment to watch for: When Cox's character, Jules, jokes with her son about dating him. Her teenage son. No, wait, that's the moment when you should cringe and cower.
Flash Forward (Thursday, Sept 24, at 8pm on ABC)
What if everyone in the world went to sleep for two minutes, all at once? Personally, we think a mass catnap would put us all in a better, rested mood, but on this show, the strange blackout produces worldwide destruction (cars crashing, zoo animals escaping, etc.). What's more, everyone dreamed about the same thing—their own lives in the future. The season follows Angelenos who struggle to find out if their flash-forwards will come true. Think Lost, but with more organized time jumps.
Moment to watch for: When two Feds (leads Joseph Fiennes and John Cho) encounter the postblackout chaos on an L.A. freeway. Helicopters smash into buildings, cars flip. It's the kind of special-effects mayhem that will be hard to keep up every week.
Brothers (Friday, Sept 25, at 8pm on Fox)
Michael Strahan, sitcom star? Stranger things have happened. The gap-toothed New York Giant heads up a family comedy, playing ex--NFL star Mike—what, you thought he'd be playing a crime scene investigator? His brother, Chill (Daryl "Chill" Mitchell), is wheelchair-bound with a chip on his shoulder, while his mom (the excellent CCH Pounder) is your typical badass matriarch. That Mike's pop (Carl Weathers) has creeping dementia is the only serious element in this goofy comedy.
Moment to watch for: It isn't long before Chill is calling Mike on his gapped smile and resulting lisp. Strahan's self-deprecation is a good sign, and the quality of actors surrounding him suggests this is no vanity project.
Fall Preview 2009
There's something--no, a zillion things--to look forward to this coming season.

- Aww - I kinda liked the old thrill of the chase of reporting This page does not exist. Anyway, the only other change I can see is in change summaries we're now getting underlines and strikethroughs instead of red text (e.g. [1]). I'm not sure whether I like that really - it's less easy to spot and kind of cluttery on busy summaries. Any workarounds? -- Whhhy?Whut?How? *Back from the dead* 15:00, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Huummmmm... we are getting some slowness here. It's due to some big queries, that might be coming from the extension that organises the Dump. So we may have to turn that off for a while (the alternative being to go back to 1.9 while it's sorted out). So if you can't find this message, we've already turned it off.

...but, I just noticed that that diff pages are different. I liked it better with all the red texty bits. It made it very easy to quickly see what had been changed. Now it takes a closer look-see, which means more work, which means two things. Either you guys give me a raise, or change it back, or I'll probably complain about it for a couple more minutes until I forget what the hell the problem is. -- Brigadier General Sir Zombiebaron 23:28, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
- I'm going to give you a raise of 200% of what you're making now... Let's see, that's zero times 200% plus zero. Yeah, that should do it. » Brig Sir Dawg | t | v | c » 2007.06.30.05:25
- I actually know what ZB is talking about. I liked how it sorta highlighted them before much better than the new way. Now it kinda underlines stuff and crosses it out.

If enough people don't like it, it can easily be changed back with le CSS. Or copy my user css, there's a bit in there that changes how the diff pages display. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 01:19, 29 Jun 2007
- Well sure Spang, that changed how my diff pages displayed, but it didn't change it back to the way that it was before the upgrade. You think you could cook up something that makes everything back the way it was? -- Brigadier General Sir Zombiebaron 03:39, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
To clarify: the <span class="diffchange"> were changed to <ins class="diffchange"> and <del class="diffchange">, which apparently are styled in most browsers as underline text by default. There was a corresponding change to main.css (actually a few, see this and this) that uncyc has not yet acquired. This is not a feature, but an ugly bug! Temp fix until real fix can be fixified. --Splaka 10:19, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
- So I found a bug? Man, I feel so useful all of a sudden. -- Brigadier General Sir Zombiebaron 23:59, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

I've written about all sorts of different things over the years, but I'd never experienced people so visibly disgusted with me until I started poking around for this piece. All it took was a simple introduction of the topic: football-watching humans, born and/or raised in the Philadelphia area, who identify as fans of the Dallas Cowboys.
We'll pause briefly here to allow you to ready your Nate Newton-branded airsickness bags.

Ruta 51, km 11, La Merced Chica, Salta
House of Jasmines is a secluded inn originally opened by Robert Duvall and his Argentine wife. Demonstrating impeccable style and service, the edge–of–Salta ranch has higher rates and fewer movie stars visiting since Duvall sold it in 2008, but it is still in many ways the best hotel in Salta.
A good half–hour drive from Salta's center, but close to the airport, this 40–acre estancia in the countryside is no ordinary inn: it started as a ranch owned by actor Robert Duvall and later becoming a hotel the pillows were slept on by the likes of Brad Pitt and Richard Gere. It is now owned by Raoul and Stephanie Fenestraz, experienced hoteliers who also own Estancia el Colibri in Cordoba and several establishments in France.
The original designer—Florencia Pedraza—is Duvall's sister–in–law. The rambling collection of adobe–style buildings making up the ranch is reached by a road passing the airport and then disappearing into farms at the base of the mountains. The location is not exactly convenient, but apart from occasional landing planes, it is much more quiet than at the central Salta hotels. Check–in takes place wherever and drinks are served by a fireplace surrounded by horse–related prints, photos, and paintings. Several comfortable rooms branching off encourage reading, watching movies, or just staring at the mountains, making a stay feel much like one at the country house of a well–off friend.
The dining location for various meals is up to the whims of the guests: on a terrace, in the winter garden room, on a room balcony perhaps. The main dining room is a romantic space in the evenings, however, with candlelight casting a glow over the heavy wood furniture and cowhide rugs. Silver and glassware are polished to a shine. When the hotel is busy, the manager sometimes arranges for an evening asado (barbeque) outdoors and for local musicians to come and entertain.
The heated outdoor pool with sundeck, set in a clearing away from the house next to rose gardens, offers uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside. Guests can hike or ride mountain bikes around the 300–acre property, passing by lime trees, olive trees, and of course plenty of jasmine plants. Guests now have to go off site for horseback riding though.
The spa is surprisingly well–equipped for a hotel this size, with a range of treatments on offer, plus a steam bath and sauna. The staff can set up visits to wineries, downtown Salta, or outlying villages.
Accommodations in the seven original rooms are not flashy, but display a comfortable and homey style in keeping with the ranch theme. Painted and beadboard walls accompany jute rugs over stone tile, canopy beds, dressers, small writing desks, and simple chairs in muted colors. Red flannel blankets add a dash of color to the fabrics. Baths are either combo ones with a tub or shower–only ones with a walk–in closet instead. Robes and custom toiletries add a dash of luxury. If at all possible, reserve one of the two suites on the upper floor. They come with a balcony large enough for a small party. There are no TVs in the rooms themselves, but wireless Internet access is available throughout.
The new owners have added three junior suites in a separate building, each with a sitting room and a terrace with a view. A chalet for families has two bedrooms with their own baths and a living room between them.
We're happy to report that the house of Jasmines has gotten a little bigger and better under its new ownership. The chance of mingling with Hollywood celebrities has all but disappeared and you have to brave Salta's notorious traffic to go sight–seeing in the center, but this B&B works well as a refuge and an escape to wide–open spaces.

Milwaukee Film Festival announces dates for 2014 edition
Milwaukee Film announced the dates for the 2014 rendition of the Milwaukee Film Festival today. The two-week film extravaganza will run from Sept. 25 though Oct. 9, sticking with the last week of September/first week of October theme that has been working well over the past several years.
The fifth annual Milwaukee Film Festival this past year gathered 241 films, ranging from 44 countries and countless genres (drama, comedy, documentary, whatever "Post Tenebras Lux" was, etc.). It also saw yet another increase in attendance, from 50,160 people in 2012 to 55,194.
"War Witch" and "12 O'Clock Boys" won the festival's jury awards this year, while "The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete" from director and Milwaukee native George Tillman won the audience award. The 2013 festival also showed the Milwaukee premiere of Oscar hopeful "August: Osage County," which is finally opening wide in the city this Friday.

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
So the other night, we and our adorable pooch, Hound Solo, were getting ready to attend a swanky affair when Hound threw up his paws in frustration: He couldn't find any suitable duds in his wardrobe. "Don't fear," we told him, as we scooped him up and dashed to Funny Fur, where we scored an Isaac Mizrahi designer bowtie and Dogs of Glamour Dapper Vest. Hound was a hit. Since then, we've returned for more casual fare, like athletic jerseys and hoodies. He even found a nice denim jumper for his girlfriend, Deborah Hairy. Sure, he has to restrain himself while all the cats try on their outfits — Funny Fur doesn't discriminate — but he always leaves with some stylish threads on his back and a smile on his furry face.
In life, sometimes the ride is more important than the destination, and sometimes it's both the journey and the place. The most exciting rides on the METRORail end at Reliant Park South. Whether it's rowdy Texans fans decked out in blue and red, little cowboys and cowgirls headed to their first rodeo, or music fans ready to sing their hearts out, you can feel the excitement as the train draws closer and closer to the station. You never know what will happen on the field or in the stadium or on stage, but in that moment when you step onto the platform at Reliant Park South, anything is possible and everyone is happy.
No dry cleaner can be perfect all the time, but it seems like Gorman's comes pretty close. Whether you need coffee stains zapped from your favorite dress or have a hankering to get your shirts laundered and starched with just the right amount of snap, Gorman's has you covered. The place has been around since 1948, so these folks have had plenty of time to hone their skills and become the best dry cleaners around. As if that weren't enough, Gorman's also offers preservation and alterations, which means your granny's dresses can be kept in pristine condition and you can wear that pair of slacks you love without dragging the cuffs on the ground. And did we mention they offer free pickup and delivery?
We keep waiting for someone to present a serious challenge to this perennial winner. But we can't even envision such a creature, since this Houston institution has it all. Whether you're already a Rembrandt, or a novice who can't tell a paintbrush from a hairbrush, this is your destination. Paints, inks, clays, leather crafting, embossing, textiles — if it's a material you can use to express yourself, Texas Art Supply has it. Even if you don't have an artistic bone in your body, it's the perfect place to find a gift for that special artist in your life — the friendly, knowledgeable staff will help you find exactly what you need. And chances are, you'll wind up coming back for yourself.
It's easy to pass by the junkyard-like visage of the Compound, as it's known in cyclist circles, and think nothing of it, but this is a haven for cyclists in Midtown and Third Ward. There's not much that bike fixer extraordinaire Dan Kan can't do. We bet he's busily working on a bike repair right now, or trying to find someone a cheap part deep within the Compound. The shop is usually open mid-afternoons to early evenings, Monday through Saturday. Stop by for details on the next group ride or to chew the fat about two wheels.
Time waits for no one. When your watch breaks, you want that timepiece back in working order as quickly as possible. That's where Watches by Paulin comes in. It's not a terribly impressive place, just a shop tucked in a bland Garden Oaks strip center, but the clerks know the value of good customer service. Whether your watch is a family heirloom or something of the cheap Mickey Mouse variety, they will get it repaired fast and won't charge you an arm and a leg. These folks have been known to stay open late to allow customers to pick up their fixed timepieces, and those watches never fail to come back looking like new and keeping perfect time.

Parents of ADHD Children
I am new to ADHD.. My daughter's 1st grade teacher came to me about a month and a half ago, and said she was worried about my daughter. She was such a sweet care girl but she had a very hard time staying on task. I told her that this has been an issue in the past (she was held back in kindergarten), and something I thought she would grow out of. But she asked it If i would talk to our pediatrican about the issue. So I did and and the Dr recommend we (parents and teachers) fill out a survey to see if she had symptoms of ADHD. After filling out the paperwork and the Dr reading them she recommend we put her on Adderall XR 10mg to see if we saw any impovement.
Well, it has been a month and I dont really see a big difference at home other than she has had 2 pretty big melt downs in the last month, but the teacher says that she is able to focus after she gets started on a task, but sometimes to get started it takes her awhile.And teacher says that my daughter is worrying a lot more about getting her stuff done.
So my queston is did you see with your children a big difference in their personality?? I dont want her to change, she is the sweetest little girl in the world. She didn't have any behavioral issues, and I dont want these medicines to cause her to become a different kid. And do you guys have any advice for a new family going thur this????

A 10-Year Anniversaryposted by Secret Squirrel Aug 2, 2016 12:54 PM (23 comments)
So, this almost slipped by, but we just had a very important anniversary! On July 31, 2006, I submitted our very first entry, which was the Final Fantasy VII soundtrack.
You may notice that our lowest album entry has ID number 3, so it technically wasn't the first. Entries 1 and 2 were test submissions, something along the lines of title: "Test", catalog number: "Test", and we deleted those once things were working. Kind of amazing that the third submission was good enough to keep.
We've come a long way in 10 years, and our focus has broadened, but this entry represents everything that got us into this hobby. (On a personal note, I listened to the PC version of the FF7 soundtrack on continuous loop while I wrote my PhD dissertation, so I am pleased that it is our first.) Of course, we didn't launch as VGMdb audio until more than a year after that, but it is still our earliest footprint apart from a Word document I wrote in June 2005.
For reaching this this point, I'd like to thank fellow admins Gigablah and Miles, Mercarios (for allowing us to get started as Gamingforce Audio), other site owners such as Chudah and Mik who pioneered some of the concepts that were used here on VGMdb, all of our devoted staff former and present, and all of the editors who perform the bulk of the submission and original research here, and really anyone else that I have forgotten. You guys are amazing. Thanks for 10 years, and there are many more to come.
New Forum for Tutorialsposted by Secret Squirrel Mar 24, 2012 06:37 AM (4 comments)
I've created a new sub-forum to house the various submission tutorials and guides that were previously spread around the forum. I've already moved the ones I could find, so please let me know if I missed any. In time, we hope to expand these. If anyone wants to help write a new tutorial, we would be very grateful. I think there are still some mechanics here that are confusing to new users.
SOPA, PIPA, and Amazon linksposted by Gigablah Jan 18, 2012 01:53 AM (6 comments)
Some of you may have noticed that all our Amazon product links have been hidden since early December, although you could still create or edit them. This is actually directly related to a brief downtime we had on December 1st. What transpired was that Amazon's (presumably automated) systems mistook our affiliate links as "phishing collection points" and basically tried to shut our whole site down.
First, their "brand protection" partner, MarkMonitor, sent an email to our hosting provider ServInt, who then forwarded it to us. We clarified that it was a false positive and got in touch directly with MarkMonitor. Their representative confirmed over the phone that it was indeed a mistake, and that they had rejected the service request from Amazon.
But our site still went down for a few hours (possibly more for some visitors) after our DNS provider (Dyn) suspended our zone -- without prior notice -- after receiving an abuse ticket. In the end we moved our DNS hosting to another provider. A customer service officer from Amazon eventually responded to my queries, apologizing for the frustration and claiming that there was no record of phishing detected on our Amazon Associates account. Dyn took five days to reinstate our account.
The Amazon links will return once I make some technical changes (redirecting back to the album page if the links were accessed directly, for instance). But hopefully my account of this incident will help convince some people about the dangers of SOPA/PIPA legislation -- namely the removal of due process, which was the case when Dyn suspended our service indiscriminately. Imagine what it'll be like if they were legally required to do so, at the mercy of overzealous copyright enforcers with the very real possibility of false positives! At the same time I must commend our provider ServInt, not just for standing by a customer, but also for acting as a major voice in the campaign for a free Internet.
VGMdb is Edge Magazine's Website of the Month in issue E224 (Feb. 2011)posted by Secret Squirrel Feb 21, 2011 07:43 AM (2 comments)

This is the first time (to our knowledge) that we've been mentioned in a real print publication, so it is a humbling experience.

Submission Quality - Sourcing Your Editsposted by Secret Squirrel Dec 14, 2010 01:29 PM (11 comments)
We're implementing a change in the submission policy in order to increase the quality of new submissions. This will also make it easier for our staff to understand the edits so that they can intelligently accept or reject them in the queue. We have a great community here, and we appreciate all of the work that you have done, gathering and researching information for some pretty obscure albums. To keep the accuracy and quality of this information as high as we can, we'd like to ask you to take the time to follow one more step:
When you submit an edit to any field on an album or artist page, please use the discussion thread to provide a rationale for your edits.

Hollywood Dirt For July 2
Floyd Mayweather Jr. admits to his man crush on Justin Bieber! The fighter was stopped while coming out of a liquor store and had nothing but good things to say about the Biebs, including his jump to action when Mayweather's kids were involved in a car accident Sunday night. Justin should be stoked to have a heavyweight champion on his side:
New rumors have surfaced that there is trouble in paradise for Jay Z and Beyonce. During an 'On The Run' tour stop, Beyonce changed the lyrics to her 2006 hit 'Resentment'. Originally the lyrics are "Been ridin' with you for six years why did I deserve/ To be treated this way by you,". Bey changed them to "Been ridin' with you for twelve years why did I deserve/ To be treated this way by you." The crowd went nuts. Could this be a hint that Jay actually did cheat on Beyonce? We don't even want to think about it but here's video for you to decide:
