The efficient computation of Fourier transforms on the symmetric group
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: This paper introduces new techniques for the efficient computation of Fourier transforms on symmetric groups and their homogeneous spaces. We replace the matrix multiplications in Clausen's algorithm with sums indexed by combinatorial objects that generalize Young tableaux, and write the result in a form similar to Horner's rule. The algorithm we obtain computes the Fourier transform of a function on in no more than multiplications and the same number of additions. Analysis of our algorithm leads to several combinatorial problems that generalize path counting. We prove corresponding results for inverse transforms and transforms on homogeneous spaces.

Fashion Week: Hot drinks, doughnuts and Rag & Bone
NEW YORK (AP) — Designers Marcus Wainwright and David Neville certainly know how to warm up an audience: With hot cider, hot chocolate, and mini-cinnamon doughnuts, fried up on the spot.
That's what awaited the crowd at Rag & Bone's runway show Friday, in the chilly, cavernous space of a now-defunct section of Manhattan's main post office.
But the way to a fashion consumer's heart Is not through the stomach — well, not ONLY through the stomach. Also the eyes. Rag & Bone has become a top fashion label — with its runway show considered a must-see every season — because it has come up with a distinctive way of expressing casual chic.
In the words of supermodel Karolina Kurkova, who came to the show not to walk the runway but simply to watch: "Rag & Bone is great for running around, but (also) having a little bit of style — being comfortable, being cool, but you know still having a little bit of modern action."
Wainwright and Neville described the inspiration for this latest collection as an eclectic mix of eras and styles.
"There's a new mood and theme every time," Wainwright said in an interview before the show. "There's quite a strong '50s silhouette going on with the high-waisted pants, short tops. But also there's an '80s English feel. This one is really quintessential Rag & Bone."
The fabrics were rich, as in a buffalo-check mohair coat or a casual jacket in satin crepe. Echoing the '50s theme, there were bowling shirts — albeit in lush fabrics — embroidered with the model's name in the corner. There was plenty of black and other dark colors, but also a few shocks of red: a bright red suede dress, for example, or a pair of slouchy red boots with a drawstring top.
In the front row, there was a fashion writer named Joe Jonas; yes, the very same Jonas brother, writing during Fashion Week for New York Magazine's fashion site, The Cut.
"They asked me to give my opinions on what I like and stuff, so it's been a lot of fun," he said in an interview.

Thanks for the responses.
I wish I could ride my bike or return to work.
I just had rotator cuff surgery so I pass my time posting on BF and counting the days until I can ride again. But this too shall pass.
Thanks again for the responses.

I had it too....
" The love you withhold is the pain you carry, lifetime after lifetime."
Heck, all i got for 14+ hours was error messages.
Apparently there were some issues.

I thought I was going to die! I was about to call the Crisis Hotline. I am so damn addicted to this forum, and there isn't even any PRON. I must get maturing.
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]'96 Trek 730//'08 Kona Eighty-Eight//
And what made it worse was that the other main forum I'm on was up and down too then became a snail.
I had to go sign on to my backpacker forum and talk to some of my long lost mallwalker friends.
and work.
You see, their morals, their code...it's a bad joke, dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the world allows them to be. I'll show you. When the chips are down, these...These "civilized" people...they'll eat each other. See, I'm not a monster. I'm just ahead of the curve
Okay - I will confess. I just turned 49, and in a spirit of unity with me, the forum decided to act like it was a broken down ole geezer....
There are good things about being so old:
1. If a pretty girl doesn't notice you, it isn't anything personal.
2. You aren't expected to be able to compete in the TDF
3. If someone passes you, you just smile and wave. If you do drop them, it is a major accomplishment for you, if you don't, well, what did they expect? They are half your age?
4. You get called Don Fred - which is much better than "Hey you!"
5. I am in excellent shape for 49 - so it is a good thing I am that age, if I was 20, I would be worrying.
6. I have a lifetime of earning behind me - and no need to earn in front of me. Seems to me to be a very nice trade off to being young and broke. (nothing personal to anyone young and broke - been there, done that)
7. I have been married to a wonderful woman for 26+ years - I don't have to wonder if I will find the right person, I figure after 26 years together we pretty much are sure.
8. If there is a creaking noise, it doesn't necessarily mean something on the bike needs to be fixed. This saves worrying about the bike.
9. There are always workers around to move anything heavy. If my wife gets the desire to rearrange the furniture - I am too old to help. Heck, I am too old (so I say) to do much besides ride my bike and eat afterwards (and do experiments and instruct the troops)
10. I can accuse my basic ugliness on old age instead of genetics. I can now say with a straight face I once was handsome without people rolling on the floor laughing. Now they just show compassion. "Dude, sorry to hear about that - was it a really bad crash on the bike that messed up your face?"
There was a time when Joe was the sole owner that there would be a reason posted on a thread like this explaining why the system was out, and apologising for it. It seemed to take the heat out of the angst people would feel through withdrawal symptoms, and made the forums seem to be run by humans (well on great one, anyway).
It seems that since the great corporate takeover, nothing has improved in how the system operates, and communicating the problem to customers and others as a distant afterthought.
Happy Birthday, crtreedude!! Celebrate because next year the big 5-0 comes around.
Dream. Dare. Do.
I am going to load the entire forum onto disks as a backup in case it happens again I can still look through everything.

Additional Information
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

We are running SBS 2003 R2 with Exchange 2003, MS SQL 2005 Standard Edition and Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition. Note that the MS SQL 2005 is not the one with workgroup which comes with SBS. This box works fine until people use it but surprisingly it gets freezed when left idle. I mean, when all clients log off of the server, after an hour if someone tries to connect the server, it says server is not responding.
We need to manually reset the server to make it fine again. I tried to find out the cause of the problem but dint got anything. We have sufficient HDD space left, also temporary folders seems ok, neither there is any service scheduled that runs when the server is idle. Then what is making server unresponsive in idle mode?
Please help.

Absolutely retarded. What goes on in a locker room (as in, behind closed doors) should stay in a locker room unless directed at media personnel. This takes a whole lot of special out of being included in a teams locker room.
Of course Goodell would do this after the hushed up debacle last season when he was caught peeping into the Denver Broncos showers at Peyton Manning. This is an actual picture of John Fox catching him in the act.

noun

1: the exchange of information or services among individuals, groups, or institutions ; specifically : the cultivation of productive relationships for employment or business
2: the establishment or use of a computer network

I got this definition of networking from the Merriam Webster's website. It says networking is noun. Although I was an English major with pretty decent grades, this seems a bit illogical to me. I mean, networking implies that you actually have to do something like shake hands with a colleague, call a prospect on the phone, tag friends in a facebook picture, ask contacts to endorse you on LinkdIn, or send out a tweet via Twitter.

Whatever.

The point is, you can't do nothing and be networking. So just add the little word "am" in front of networking, as in, "I am networking at Pulse."

Et Voila!

You have a verb, and it's logical! See how easy it is? Here are a few great opportunities for networking at Pulse:

"I think they haven't played against the style of play like we play. I think they play a lot of teams that like to slow it up, and they can really get into them. Because we pressure so much and we go against it every day in practice, I don't think it's something we'll have a problem with.
Those were the words of Iona guard Lamont "Momo" Jones this week prior to last night's game. The transfer from Arizona had an air of confidence about him heading into this 15-2 matchup against the Ohio State Buckeyes. There's no doubt that two wins by 15 seeds in last year's tournament (as well as one yesterday during this game) aided that confidence. It's a fair argument that Ohio State has only faced a few teams that like to play an up tempo pace. However, that air of confidence was squeezed out of Jones and Iona's third highest-scoring offense by Aaron Craft and company. Forty minutes later, Jones made just 3-of-14 shots for 9 points and the Buckeyes forced 19 turnovers, scored 29 points off those turnovers, and scored 34 points via the fastbreak as they obliterated the Gaels early in the second half and cruised to a 95-70 victory in their NCAA Tournament opener.
The takeaway play from this game came early in the first half. Aaron Craft deflected the basketball into the Iona backcourt. Sprinting to the ball, Craft launched himself out of bounds full extension, heaving the ball behind him to Shannon Scott before twirling and crashing to the floor. Scott would push the ball up the floor and feed Evan Ravenel for the dunk. It was one of those signature-type plays that people will take away from this tournament, but really, those amazing full-throttle plays are what Aaron Craft is all about and has been all about since he stepped foot on OSU's campus. The Buckeyes used a 27-4 run led by those highlight steals and a few blocks from Thompson, Williams, and Ravenel to take a 19-point lead after falling behind 4-0 at the outset.
Again the numbers don't do it justice, but Craft led the defensive attack that absolutely made life miserable for Iona. Craft's 6 steals (he had 7, and a scoring decision took one away) were one short of his career high of seven against Iowa two years ago, but he had countless other deflections. Offensively, it was not a strong shooting game for the Findlay product (2-of-8, 4 points), but he dished out 7 assists, turning it over just twice, as his dribble penetration and vision up the court generated buckets for the Bucks. Craft spent time defensively on both Sledge (6-of-13, 2o points) and Jones, but #4 was everywhere on the floor all at once. Deshaun Thomas may be the team's best overall player, but make no mistake, Aaron Craft is the leader, the heart, the fiery spirit that drives this Ohio State squad. Craft said post-game, "We didn't want to make it a one‑on‑one type game. This was about our team and how we needed to play defense together, and that's really how we did a good job of taking them out of their offense and kind of making them have to go one on one at times."
Offensively, there were several supporting players who answered the bell, but none moreso than sophomore Sam Thompson. Thompson was responsible for an array of alley-oop slams, each more powerful than the last as he provided Ohio State with a second scoring punch to Thomas. Thompson was 6-of-10 from the field and a perfect 8-of-8 from the line despite being just a 65% shooter on the season. With a career-high 20 point, 10-rebound double-double effort, Thompson continued his surge of growth right before our very eyes. Each powerful thump was a momentum creator, but the most critical one came after Iona had cut that 19-point lead down to just 4 with 25-10 run of their own with just under a minute and a half to play before half. Thompson took a right side feed from Scott and sent the ball in with a thud, starting a 6-0 mini-run that allowed OSU to take a double digit lead into the break.
"An alley‑oop is a great team play. It shows two guys on the same page offensively. Shannon and Aaron did such a great job getting into the teeth of the defense, having the defense collapse, and just letting me do the easy part and finishing it," Thompson said following the win. "It really gives our team a boost offensively and defensively and definitely gives the other team something to think about." If Thompson can continue with this additional scoring effort while playing good defense and hitting the boards, his minutes will only increase for the rest of the tourney, and I look forward to seeing what else he has in store for the two years following this one. For Sam, the key is aggressiveness. He needs to look for his own shot or to drive before immediately reversing the ball in the halfcourt offense.
When Ohio State got their second opportunity to crush the Gaels into dust, they did not squander it. They opened the second half with a 9-0 run, six of those points coming from Thompson. Iona would never get closer than 12 again as the Bucks eventually stretched their advantage to 30 points before emptying the end of their bench. Deshaun Thomas avoided the headlines in this game because of the amazing efforts of Thompson and Craft, but he led the team in scoring with his 24 points on 8-of-12 shooting to break out of his shooting slump of late. He made all three three-point attempts that he shot, and it was a good sign to see him opt for many more attempts inside the arc. Against Iona's shorter frontline, Thomas went to work by using ball fakes and most often shooting mid-range jumpers right over top of the Gael defenders.
Unselfish is one of the best words I could think of when it came to the effort last night. Ohio State showed that in their willingness to pass the ball on the fastbreak as well as the halfcourt offense. Shannon Scott led that effort with another quiet, efficient, and vital performance with 7 points, 7 rebounds, 10 assists, and 1 block in just 25 minutes. In fact, the Buckeyes as a team had 25 assists on their 34 field goals while turning it over just 10 times. "We said going in, if they want to run, let's run," Matta added post-game. "Our biggest concern, though, with that said is we weren't going to trade baskets with them. I think that's what happens a lot of time when we said we're going to run with them. We don't care if we score. We're going to run it back this way. That was not going to happen tonight. " In short, the Buckeyes showed that this type of pace is not going to bother them.
Transitioning to Sunday, it's a good thing Ohio State got this type of first-round matchup, because the tenth-seed Iowa State Cyclones bring a lot of the same offensive firepower to the table. TD mentioned in our podcast that the Cyclones are the type of hot-shooting team that could give the Buckeyes some trouble after watching them take his Jayhawks into overtime twice this season. The Cyclones beat Notre Dame easily 76-58 following OSU's victory, hitting 9-of-21 three pointers, and they were led by Georges Niang's 19 points. With their tallest starter at just 6'7″, the Buckeyes should be able to use size to their advantage and go to their small ball lineup with Thomas playing the five if things don't work out staying big. Iowa State does however boast five players with at least 37 threes made, so the Buckeyes will have to close out on shooters well in order to advance to next week and what would be their fourth straight Sweet 16.

The 49ers came up short in a 2-0 loss at No. 3 Duke in the NCAA Elite Eight.
Nov. 25, 2011
DURHAM, N.C. - The Long Beach State women's soccer team's historic run came to an end on Friday evening as it fell to top-seeded and third-ranked Duke, 2-0, in front of 2,192 fans at Koskinen Stadium.
LBSU ended the season with an 18-6-1 overall record, marking the most wins in school history.
"Right now we're hurting a little bit because we were in the game and we felt like we had an outside shot, especially getting into the half with good energy and feeling strong about ourselves," head coach Mauricio Ingrassia said. "It's disappointing to not get the result today, but Duke is a fantastic team. I wouldn't be surprised if they are playing for a national championship next Sunday.
"So, I'm very proud of my team, very proud of my seniors and very proud of everybody, especially the kids back home. They made history."
Prior to their loss in the NCAA Elite Eight, the 49ers had won a program-record eight consecutive games with seven of those coming by way of a shutout. LBSU had not allowed a goal in 544 minutes until Duke found the back of the net at the 66:28 mark.
The Blue Devils won the battle in shot attempts, 16-3, but Long Beach State owned a 5-to-1 edge in corner kicks. Freshmen Taylor Nelson and Sarah Dryden, and senior Nicole Hubbard finished with one attempt each. Senior goalkeeper Kaitlyn Gustaves had three saves.
"It's hard being on the losing end of it, but I'm so proud of the way we played," Gustaves said. "The biggest thing for any team is just believing in yourself and I think we really did. I'm just really proud of my team."
The two squads battled to a scoreless tie in the first half as Duke held a 5-1 shot advantage over LBSU.
In the 22nd minute, Kelly Cobb came close to scoring for the home team as her line drive shot from five yards out hit the crossbar and bounced in front of the goal before the 49er backline was able to clear the ball out.
Duke (21-3-1) eventually struck in the 67th minute when Kim DeCesare scored on a header off a cross from Mollie Pathman. The Blue Devils tacked on another goal seven minutes later as Gilda Doria dribbled around several Long Beach State defenders before firing a shot to the left netting from 25 yards out.
In the opening minutes of the second period, junior Nadia Link received a corner kick from classmate Jordan Nelson and was within striking distance but the 49ers were called for being offsides.
In the 57th minute, senior Shawna Gordon also had a good look when she came charging into the box on a breakaway, but her shot from 15 yards out was saved by Duke goalkeeper Tara Campbell.
Cobb led the Blue Devils, who advanced to next week's NCAA College Cup, with a game-high five attempts.
Long Beach State finished the best season in program history with a school-record 49 goals, 52 assists and 150 points. In their third postseason appearance, the 49ers not only won their first NCAA Tournament game, but also became the first team in Big West Conference history to move on to the Elite Eight.

Some people say all modern-day trends are really just blasts from fashion's past. (Leggings? Fedoras?) This season's color-blocking craze is no exception: After Yves Saint Laurent translated Dutch painter Piet Mondrian's primary-hued motif on the 1965 runways, color-blocking became a bona fide fad for "Mod Squad" types.
Four decades later, the graphic style has returned full-force to the catwalks of such designers as Chloe, Marc Jacobs and Jonathan Saunders. Color-blocking's reincarnation takes two equally strong sides: bold brights worn loud and proud, and punchy pale hues that say it soft(er).
Either way, now's the time to join the block party. After all, your next chance may not surface for another 40 years.

Work on a railroad project that will close Peterman Road for a week has been delayed.
Peterman Road at the railroad crossing between County Line and Fairview roads now will be closed from 8 a.m. Aug. 18 through 4 p.m. Aug. 22. Drivers should use Fairview Road and State Road 135 as a detour, according to a Johnson County Highway Department news release.
The section of Peterman Road originally was to be closed next week, but the project was delayed because of a scheduling conflict with a contractor, Indiana Rail Road Co. spokesman Eric Powell said.
Indiana Rail Road Co., which has tracks across western Johnson County between Morgantown and Indianapolis, is replacing rail, installing new ties and replacing grade crossings as part of an overall project across the state.

Maybe U2's Bono and The Edge should have considered a theatrical production based on Superman (a.k.a. the Man of Steel) rather than Spider-Man. The musicians' plagued play, "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark," suffered a new setback on Monday when another actor was injured and taken to the hospital, according to The New York Times.
Overall, it's the fourth castmember to be injured during pre-production.
According to the New York Post, the injured actor is Christopher Tierney, a stunt double and aerialist, who was hurt when a cable he was attached to snapped during the final minutes of a preview performance. The Times reports that Tierney fell from a distance of approximately eight to 10 feet.
"You heard screams," an audience member told The Times. "You heard a woman screaming and sobbing."
The Post added that Tierney was admitted to New York's Bellevue Hospital, and that he was listed in stable condition.
Producers recently announced that the official opening of "Spider-Man" would be pushed back once again, this time until February 7, as the crew tinkers with creative changes.
Last month, Bono and The Edge spoke to MTV News about the project.
"It's like a graphic novel, but a three-dimensional one," Bono said of the show. "I'm calling it a pop-up, pop-art opera, because I'm pretentious."
The Edge added, "It is elements of rock and roll, it's elements of circus, it's elements of opera, of musical theater. It is so many different things, and when we started the process, we promised we'd do something that hasn't been done before. And really, we, I think, have managed to do that."

"Xochimilco" Xochimilco by o00o
Xochimilco Travel Guide: 11 reviews and 99 photos
It is a few miles from the city, but well worth the drive. The main attraction there is the lake and the gondola-like boats that are decorated with colorful flowers on the sides. Each boat has a woman's name painted across the top arch - ours was La Lupita. There is a scenic route, which takes about three hours. This ride goes to the mini islands, where travelers can get off and wander around, buy souvenirs or listen to the story behind the island. A particular island that caught my attention was one that had dolls and doll parts everywhere. It was La Isla de las Muñecas Perdidas (Island of the Lost Dolls). A man who lived there collected dolls he found in the lake.
He put dolls just about anywhere he could find room, even putting a wire from one tree to the next to hang more dolls. I was in awe. As I stepped out of the boat and onto the island, I felt a cold breeze blow. There were about six barking dogs guarding the entrance, but they were harmless. To the left, there was a multitude of different plants, each in its own pot. Farther in the island was the old man's shanty with three walls covered with dolls. Hanging on the outside was a framed newspaper article with a picture of him, taken from the local paper. The guide had told us that the old man had died a few months earlier and now his sons looked after the island.

You just never know what you'll find travelling around this great big world of ours! Very interesting and very strange!
Interesting place! The boat rides look like worth the visit. The dolls are a little spooky!! Great page, very original!
very interesting!
I'd always wanted to take the boat ride at Xochimilco. The doll island seems a little strange, though.
Great photography! The old man is having a major scaremongering!! :-)
More like a horror movie with those dolls. :) I thought Cornwall was weird... Nice images o00o!
Truthfully, those dolls are a little spooky.
Only on VT, I don't think you'll find that in any guide book! That was cool, a little strange, but cool!
original page but...a little spooky

Professional and kind, video was very complete and funReviewed on 8/15/2014
Had to find a wedding videographer for a family member without having a huge budget- David(runs Grandmother's Video) was available and good to his word from the start. He started filming an hour before the wedding and stayed through the entire night, stayed busy filming pretty... Read More much every detail you could imagine without getting in the way. Very polite and fun. The video turned out to be about 2 hours of quality stuff- great looking footage from the aisle to the dance floor. The video toasts were a hit- not only looked good on the dvd but were a lot of fun for everyone to do at the wedding and added to the day. Highly recommend.
Professional & CreativeReviewed on 10/13/2013 Regina C
Great communication & very easy to work with. Creative and sensitive to the whole family dynamics of a modern wedding. Captured many precious memories! Couldn't have been more pleased with David's attention to details and professionalism.
Thank you so much--but you made my job easy by being such a CHARMING & BEAUTIFUL BRIDE!
Great VideoReviewed on 10/08/2013 aPatricia B
Grandmother's Video personnel was very professional in videotaping our wedding. Our special moments were captured in a way that the guests didn't realize a photographer was there. We appreciated the completeness and high quality of his work.

Dear Brides, Grooms, and their Families, This review is impossible for me to respond without embarrassing the reviewer with the facts and truth. If you would like to see the DVD, I will be glad to show it to you myself.
Very pleased customer!Reviewed on 11/30/2014 Sara P
Having a videographer was a last minute decision and something we hadn't really factored into our wedding budget. Three months before the wedding I spoke with David and we were lucky that they had our date available! GVP completely met our expectations. David was very... Read More professional and accomadating on the wedding day. He captured all of our special moments and edited them nicely on our wedding DVD. We loved the video messages at the end of the video from our guests as well!!! Pricing is very reasonable if you are on a tight budget! I would definitely recommend GVP to capture your special day!
Videographer reviewReviewed on 10/31/2014 Jessica M

Fun & CreativeReviewed on 10/29/2014
David was great to work with! He captured lots of fun moments from the cocktail hour & reception along with the beautiful scenery of the venue. We Really liked the organization of the wedding video chapters. The sound quality during the ceremony could have been better as it was... Read More hard to hear vows, etc over the passing boats and other background noises. We were very pleased overall with the service, his communication before/during/after the wedding and his professionalism.
Happy we did it!Reviewed on 10/22/2014
Grandmother's Video did an outstanding job with my wedding video. The video was given as a surprise gift by a friend and it was the best present I could have ever imagined! The quality was excellent and viewing it is a wonderful reminder of the happy event!
Forgot His Microphone and Missed the VowsReviewed on 10/19/2014
This videographer shot our wedding and "forgot" his wireless microphone. As a result, he failed to capture the vows, requiring the groom to read his vows at the reception and have them dubbed over. The end result looks like a Japanese movie with the groom's mouth saying... Read More something completely different than the words and very bizarre sound quality. Further, there are extremely odd visual cuts surrounding the vows. We wrote our own vows, and he failed to capture the most important moment of the day. He did give us a $50.00 discount for the error. However, he then seemed to blame us saying that we didn't write on the contract that he needed to bring the microphones, so he forgot. He also told me that he didn't realize it was "that important." How could a wedding videographer not think that capturing the ceremony was important? If that were not enough, the quality of the entire video was mediocre at best. In the outdoor light, white colors (e.g. the wedding dress) appear almost light blue and the edges of moving objects (e.g. people) frequently appear blurry. There are the occasional shaky images and weird zooms. Background noises are louder than they should be. David showed up to our wedding wearing jeans and lime green tennis shoes. He did not ask permission to dress so informally. While we appreciate that he worked very hard to get toasts from as many of our guests as possible, we had several complaints that he annoyed people by following them into the parking lot or not taking no for an answer. David's videos would be find if you are merely wanting some documentation of your big day and are not looking for a particularly high quality video. His video of the indoor reception was significantly better than the outdoor ceremony. He's very friendly and certainly appeared to be working hard on the big day. If he is the best you can afford, you will get some decent shots and most of your moments will be captured. However, I strongly suggest going with someone that you can trust to capture all of the important moments of the day. Our video is extremely disappointing to us, and we wish we had paid more to get a better videographer.
I'm almost as disappointed as this couple--hopefully, their marriage will be long and happy and in time the video will be a cherished piece of their family history and for generations to come. But, there was no request for, or promise of, remote microphones (they... Read Less Read More

Would like to preface this with I hired this vendor last minute and he was super accommodating and making sure everything was set up. Very accessible via email.

David videotaped my first wedding in 2002, and my second in 2013. Both times, he completely captured the day.

David was very professional and got all the important moments on tape. It seemed like he held that video recorder all night so as not to miss a single thing!
Thanks for your kind words and unsolicited high-ratings. It's an honor to be an important part of a families' Wedding Day and we always do our best so that future generations can appreciate and enjoy watching where they come from!

« Action Alert: The Protect IP Act, Senate Bill S. 968, and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), House Resolution H. R. 3261, | Main | An Elaborate Fraud, Part 10: In Which the BMJ Suppresses the Truth About a Child's Treatment and Recovery From Autism »
By Kim Stagliano
Before you jump down my throat - we have participated in sensory movies and other autism friendly events. I appreciate them. But - at what point will the larger world say, "Hey! How come this ONE population of disability is unable to participate in the general day to day world like everyone else?" Why not "Down Syndrome Day at Sesame Place" or "Cerebral Palsy night at the Bridgeport Bluefish ball park?" There's no "Jerry's Kids movie showing" at the local cinema.
I'd like the media and average Joe and Jane to realize that autism needs action, beyond it's own "Blue Friday shopping event." Autism is a dire financial, emotional, physical, medical and mental drain on families from coast to coast. We get precious little medical treatment, we're told that research into genetics might someday lead from mouse models to oh, say a primate! And then in 100 years, something for humans. We're asked to be patient as millions of dollars in research turn over the Elmo rock, the old sperm rock, the clever parents rock in a flim flam game that helps no one but those whose names are on the grant applications. We watch our children grow into handsome and beautiful adults who can not function independently in society while awareness campaigns sugar coat reality into a thin gruel the nation is willing to digest.
I don't want more ambulances to triage the kids who are getting hit by the autism bus - I want a safe road with sidewalks so that no one gets hit at all.
I know that families need TLC and a mall event to visit Santa without the dirty looks and sneers from those who know nothing of our world. If there was a Sensitive Santa night in our Westfield Mall I'd take the kids with pleasure and be grateful for the opportunity. But in the bigger picture, we need to keep shouting "FIRE! FIRE! FIRE!" so that another generation of kids isn't so badly affected by autism that the world is unaccessible and hostile to them.

AL: Sometimes it's easy to forget that I am not the only one who sees the segregation in the good intentions. I get so tired of being the Mom With The Pointy Black Hat any time I dare to approach my inclusion soap box. Thank you, thank you, and thank you. I am not alone. -firstname.lastname@example.com
There is a delicate balance between sensory-friendly events and segregation. Special events are wonderful for those who want to take advantage of them and use them to help their child become more accomstomed to going out in the busy over stimulating world.
I much prefer the businesses that accommodate us during normal business hours, as a matter of course, rather than a special event.
We went to see an animated movie when my son was about 3 years old. It was his first time in a theater. We sat in the back row, to stay out of the fray. My son couldn't handle it. He kept getting more and more upset until finally, 25 minutes into the movie, we had to leave. On our way out, the theater manager stopped us and asked what was wrong. I think he knew. My son was letting out that blood-curdling "autism scream" as he was approaching us.
We quickly explained the situation to the manager, and turned to leave. He said "I am so sorry, please come with me." He gave us a full refund, without us asking, or even hinting at it.
THAT, to me, is accommodating special needs kids. Having these silly special hours for them is nothing more than segregation. I'm not saying these folks don't MEAN WELL, but I'd much rather patronize a business that is always looking out for us, and not just during special events.
For those interested in the Eastern PA area, this was the theater. I encourage you to go spend your money there as they more than deserve your business. http://www.moviefone.com/theater/regal-cinemas-marketplace-24/3532/showtimes
Prevention is always best. Hands down. We're pulling kids out of the river, who are drowning, rather than go upstream to find out why they're falling in. But, for those currently suffering with autism, there are few accommodations in society, where there are accommodations for many other disabilities, such as elevators, wheelchair ramps/bathrooms, audible traffic signals, etc., there are few accommodations for people with autism. They would not need special events, if they would accommodate all special needs. Scent-friendly buildings, non-flickering lighting, earpieces to replace loudspeakers, etc., would go a long way to accommodating more people, at all times.
Thank you Kim for asking the question.
'Sensitive Santa' at Promenade caters to autism-spectrum children
Back in July, I wrote the story, Libraries and Autism: Connected http://www.ageofautism.com/2011/07/libraries-and-autism-connected.html for Age of Autism. It was about libraries training employees to deal with autistic children. This was being done matter-of-factly. It's as if autism is now an accepted part of childhood.
My posted comment on the Tulsa story:
I'm sure parents appreciate special hours for children with autism . One in every 110 children now have an autism diagnosis. And among boys alone, we see a rate of almost 2 percent. These are frightening statistics.
We're seeing stories about teacher training, police and emergency workers being educated about autism, and churches providing services for children with autism, and the list goes on. While it's of course encouraging to see accommodations being made to help autistic children enjoy a library visit, this is being done matter-of-factly. It's as if autism is now an accepted part of childhood.
Autism was unknown 25 years ago. Today it's so common that everyone knows someone with an affected child and no official can tell us why it's happening. Scarier still are the stories about children who were born healthy and were developing normally and who suddenly regressed into autism. Doctors scratch their heads over this regression. Are we becoming a society that's given up on finding the cause of autism? Will we just adjust to having one percent of children with autism? What if the rate continues to soar? Eventually will we become a country that doesn't remember a world without autism and doesn't care?
Anne Dachel, Media editor: Age of Autism
I loved this. Kim, you hit the nail on the head. You put your insights into words so well. I always enjoy reading your columns.
I agree with you Kim. It is far better to solve the problem than put a band-aid on it. I appreciate people who want to make life easy for a person who is having a difficult time. My son is one of these people who benefits from kind acts. The focus should be on the solution, and I believe all who follow Age of Autism know what that is.
Why the negativity about this? It allows kids who are in the process of recovering to enjoy ordinary childhood delights and experiences without the painful, over-stimulating usual mall environment. Recovery, as we all very well know, can take years, very often leaving kids to outgrow opportunities such as sitting on Santa's lap or going on an Easter egg hunt, etc. I give these malls a lot of credit for accommodating a group of kids and their families who, more often than not, are either excluded from or simply unable to participate in community holiday activities. It's not like our kids don't know that they miss out on a lot of the fun stuff the other kids are doing. Our kids know. They KNOW. Just because they can't tell us with their words, doesn't mean they don't know. So, "Bravo!" to those in the community who recognize this and have made an effort to include our kids. If Sensitive Santa comes to our mall, we'll be in line with all the other grateful parents.
wow! that was great!
I believe special children need special treatment and for their family too. nice.. nice..
Sharper Image, The Discovery Store and the Apple Store have added special hours for clever parents.
Oh come on now Kim, this is a great idea! Special mall hours for our kids, and preferred seating at the back of the bus for the ride home.
Maybe we can create special restaurants, just for our kids too? We can also figure out a way to avoid those establishments that are NOT autism friendly. Hmmm, let me think. I know! We can hang a sign out front that says "NT's Only".
My memory is failing. I could swear I've seen something like this before, somewhere. Maybe I read it in an old book?

Who is your favorite Superman?
Actor Henry Cavill is set to don the tights of Superman in "Man of Steel," set for release on June 14. But who is your favorite Superman?
Superman, created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster in the pages of "Action Comics" No. 1 in 1938, has been a star of multiple television series and movies.
Kirk Alyn played Superman in the serials of the 1940s; George Reeves made the character ubiquitous for Baby Boomers in the 1950s TV series. Christopher Reeve made viewers believe a man could fly in films of the 1970s and 1980s, and Dean Cain was a 1990s-style Clark Kent in "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman." Tom Welling was Clark Kent in his younger days on "Smallville," and Brandon Routh brought Superman back to the big screen in "Superman Returns." Additional actors voiced the character on the radio and in animated series. Who do you think was the best at bringing the character to life?
Share your thoughts in the comments, or by e-mailing email@example.com, and your answer could be featured in an upcoming story in The Oklahoman.

Nothing is better than a classic chocolate chip cookie! They will forever be a classic that no one can resist! Whenever I try to decide what kind of cookies to make, chocolate chip cookies are one of the first always mentioned. There are many times when the only cookie that my family can agree on are chocolate chip cookies, so I end up making them more often than any other cookie. I once again want to provide a way for people who live a paleo lifestyle, to enjoy a classic food without all of the ingredients they don't want to consume.
Making cookies and having them ready when your children get home from school can be a great way to put them in a good mood. It will give you the chance to talk to them sitting down to see how their day is going and it will also give them a break from school and refresh their mind for possible homework they might have.
Another fun idea is to make time to make cookies with children. I know, right? What a concept! Children love to cook with you if you give them the chance! This also presents a great opportunity for your children to learn new skills and how to work together as a team. If you want to, you can even bring cookies to family members or neighbors. This is a great way to spread happiness and cheer with others.
What are some of your favorite memories of making chocolate chip cookies with others? Who do you like making them with? So without further ado here is our paleo chocolate chip cookie recipe for everyone to enjoy!
Here are some notes about the cookies you might want to consider when making them:
*I needed to bake these cookies on the top rack of my oven to get them to brown evenly. Depending on your oven, they may need to be cooked on the top rack. *Because of the lack of gluten, these cookies will need to be handled more gently and will break apart easier than a cookie with gluten.
