The University of Arizona football team drew closer to the end of its 2000 spring practice Saturday with the annual spring football game at Arizona Stadium.
Sophomore Bobby Wade had the biggest impact on the game, on both sides of the ball. Wade, who was the team's No. 2 receiver last season, caught three passes for 41 yards. He also saw considerable action on the defensive side of the ball at cornerback. Wade intercepted a pass from sophomore transfer Erik Garcia and returned a fumbled pitch 83 yards for a touchdown.
Redshirt freshman Gary Love opened up the game with a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in a live special teams drill. Love would also catch two passes for 41 yards in the scrimmage that lasted about two hours.
Senior quarterback Ortege Jenkins looked solid in action with the first-string offense. Jenkins completed 6-of-9 passes for 92 yards and an 8-yard touchdown strike to redshirt freshman Andrae Thurman.
Sophomore Leo Mills scored the lone rushing touchdown of the game, a one-yard dive. He finished with 23 yards on nine carries. Senior Leon Callen was the to rusher of the day, picking up 31 yards on seven carries. Sophomore Larry Croom gained 17 yards on six carries.
Thurman also caught a 47-yard touchdown from redshirt freshman Cliff Watkins late in the scrimmage. He finished with 55 yards on two receptions, both for touchdowns. Watkins completed 2-of-3 passes for 57 yards. Sophomore Jason Johnson completed 2-of-2 for 20 yards.
The Wildcats wrap up spring drill with their final practice on Monday.

Costco Gender Bias Suit Gets Class-Action Status
A federal judge granted class-action status yesterday to a lawsuit filed on behalf of more than 700 female workers at Costco claiming that the retailer had systematically discriminated against women seeking jobs as managers. Here's the story from the New York Times.
The lawsuit's key statistic: 13 percent of the company's store managers were women, while nearly half of its employees were women. The case, before Judge Marilyn Hall Patel of federal court in San Francisco, smudges Costco's image as a wonderful place to work. "Plaintiffs have presented strong evidence of a common culture at Costco which disadvantages women," she wrote in her ruling.
It's a big victory for plaintiffs' lawyer Brad Seligman, who is litigating a similar lawsuit against Wal-Mart. Seligman runs the Impact Fund, a nonprofit group in Berkeley that supports litigation related to civil rights and human rights, the environment, and poverty. Costco has a blind spot in its employment policies, which has allowed a glass ceiling to fester, he told the Times. Costco doesn't comment on pending litigation.
In an editorial "A New Way to Sue," the WSJ editorial board in November lambasted the theories behind the Wal-Mart and Costco lawsuits. "Talk about stereotyping," said the editorial. "The idea that a court should assume every female member of the class suffered the same amount of emotional distress seems, well, sexist." It added: "If mere statistical imbalances can trigger a class action, companies will be forced to make pay decisions based on statistics rather than performance and merit. Ultimately, that leads to racial and gender quotas, all in an effort to avoid frivolous lawsuits."

Hey guys and dolls, I am finally ready to begin the journey to becoming slim and sexy!
I have been struggling with my weight since about 2 years ago when my son was around one years old, I have been trapped in a comfort for far too long and have not given myself the attention I have needed. This has resulted in me being about 66pounds heavier than I am happy with and feeling like a fat recluse never wanting to leave the house with the fear of the daunting task being finding something to wear.
I have all the tools and know how to lose weight and now its getting motivated that is my shortfall. I am hoping that by being active daily on sparkpeople that I will feel motivated so if anyone has any tips on articles or blogs to read please let me know.
Hope everyone has a good week!

Welcome to Spark from a Canadian!!
I had been overweight my whole life, but got a lot bigger after my son came along. I hated how I felt moving my body around and how I looked.
I've been with Spark for 3 years, lost 90 pounds in my first year and have managed to keep (most) of it off for the past 2 years. [Injuries and getting back into bad eating habits helped put some weight back on] but that is the past. The present and future are here and if you are ready to kick some butt and take names, you can do it all here! Spark can be as simple or as complicated as you want it to be.
Motivation is a tricky thing. You're a mom. I bet you have a wall calendar to keep track of all sorts of things, am I right?
How do I get myself motivated to workout? I schedule my workouts and rest days on my calendar, just like an appointment (just the date, no time-it could take hours or be after my son's bedtime before I get it in). Then when I actually get it done, I get to put a fun sticker on my calendar!!! I went to pick them out, so they are funny, sometimes sparkly, or whatever I want. Right now I have 2 stickers on my calendar. silly little monkeys and sparkly food. the monkeys are for my workouts and the food is for when i log all my foods in the tracker.
So seeing that calendar getting filled with stickers is my main motivation. I want to have a sticker on every day!
Hope this helps, or at least gives you an idea to use!
Good luck!

Welcome to SparkPeople!!! I live in South Louisiana, USA. I have been on SP for about 9 months. Lost over 30 pounds in the first 3 months and then got stuck. If you follow the program it DOES work. I just slip too often. I have joined the Spring Bootcamp for a 4 week challenge. Any of the challenges are good tools to get you going. They usually start you with one or at most two changes each week over the course of 1 - 2 months. You develop new habits and slowly and that makes it more likely to stick.
Good luck with your journey.

Woo Hoo, 22
Today was my birthday -- I'm 22. It was a pretty good day; nothing spectacular, but the really exciting birthdays are 16 (driving), 18 (voting), and 21 (drinking). The next exciting birthday will be my 25th, when I will no longer be eligible for the draft. After that, I'm pretty sure birthdays just get depressing!

Terrie Ex
Terrie Ex
The Ex's music has undergone significant evolution over the years from their beginnings as a simple lo-fi anarcho-punk band. Founded in 1979 by singer G.W. Sok, guitarist Terrie Hessels, drummer Guert and bassist René, the band debuted with a single titled "Stupid Americans" on the Utregpunx vinyl 7" compilation released by Rock Against records in Rotterdam. The release of their first 7" All Corpses Smell the Same came shortly after in 1980. Through the decades their music has gradually developed into its current form of highly intricate, experimental punk/post-punk/no wave-inspired work.

Lately I've been thinking a lot about library instruction and the role it plays within the library and within the lives of the students we teach. One of the functions of instruction I've been ruminating on is the idea of instruction as translation.
Let me back up.
In my User Education class last semester Rachael Clemens brought up the concept of environmental interpretation to show ways in which instruction takes place in different contexts. I had never heard of environmental interpretation before, though I had unwittingly been the recipient of it. According to Sam Ham who has literally written the book on environmental interpretation, it "involves translating the technical language of a natural science or related field into terms and ideas that people who aren't scientists can readily understand" (p. 3). I actually had been on the receiving end of environmental interpretation in several national parks in the form of talks and programs given by park rangers–I just didn't realize there was a name for this sort of instruction.
Before that class discussion, I hadn't considered the ways in which other fields engage in and train for instruction. We watched this short student-made video that discusses principles of good environmental interpretation that are based on Ham's book. As I watched the video, I was struck by how the concerns of the environmental interpreter are very similar to the concerns of a librarian leading an instruction session.
While the students in the video model the need for an introduction to help establish rapport and provide context, as well as a conclusion to signal when the session is over, what captured my attention were the parts that address the concept of translation that Ham discusses. The students warn against playing the "know-it-all" and using lots of scientific terms and advise instead to "stick to the basics." When I first saw this, I immediately thought of library jargon and how easy it is to use to slip into library-lingo in instruction sessions. It was a good reminder that I need to work to make my meaning known and simplify and contextualize complicated language.
The concept of "instruction as translation" is also at work when Ham discusses the need for interpretation to be relevant. One mark of relevance is that the interpretation is "meaningful." Ham says "when information is meaningful it's because we're able to connect it to something already inside our brains" (p. 12). In light of this, analogies and metaphors seem to be perfect instruction tools because they take abstract ideas and link them to concrete ideas in such a way that the abstract becomes a little more clear. Creating these analogies can be a means of translation.
Lately I've been experimenting with different analogies to help students understand the research process. One that I've found to be fun and fairly successful is the idea of a detective needing to gather evidence to build a case. There are lots of possibilities for extending this analogy, but that particular class was able to explore why there is a need to find the best possible evidence rather than just any old evidence and then connect that to why, when writing papers, they'd want to dig for articles that support their arguments rather than articles that are loosely connected to their topic. By translating the abstract need ("good articles") to a concrete concept (evidence to build a case) the students were able to think about their searching and article evaluation differently.
What sort of metaphors and analogies have you been using in the classroom? What have you found to be effective?

Buyout is for 76, so WHY wouldn't this be somewhere close to that? Grant it, it's at a nice premium to Fridays close-but should be within pennies of its offer, like Sprint is, it even went over!
No....they have to manipulate this to scare away everyone and make them uncertain about their LONG position
Well, I'm buying every dip the weak hands let go, and look forward to the inevitable rise...
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Note from the TMO press release announcing the acquisition that they expect the transaction to close in early 2014. That's at least 8 months from now. So, the discount to the actual buyout price of $76 will slowly shrink as the closing date approaches. I sold today at $73.13 rather than hold 8 months for an additional 4%.
I think the difference in current stock price, and buyout offer is due to the uncertainty that the deal will actually go through. As the deal gets closer to being sealed, the stock will move closer and closer to the $76 mark. If the deal falls through, stock price will probably head back to the previous offer on this company of $65. I'm rooting for $76.
why wouldn't it go through? Both sides are for it-and even still, there may yet be ANOTHER bid even higher, I can't believe people aren't seeing that aspect.

Together with the KWAU affiliated organizations including Saewoomtuh for prostituted women, Korea Sexual Violence Relief Center, Women Link, Korea Women's Hot Line, Korean Differently-Abled Women's United and United Voice (Hansori) for the eradication of Prostitution in Korea, KWAU has been preparing legal measures to prevent sex trafficking and prostitution, to punish the traffickers and to protect the victims of such trafficking and prostitutes who are confined, trafficked, and forced debt exposed continually.
For these purposes, an 'experts' meeting' was formed with lawyers, scholars, and activists under the sex and human rights committee of KWAU. The experts' meeting in preparation for the draft bill investigated and researched international conventions related with sex trafficking and prostitution by the UN and examples of legislation in each country and conducted a survey of prostitutes to reflect their views in the Act.

Feeling a draft: Common traits that lead to success
Everyone has preferences, and those often come to the forefront during the NFL draft for talent evaluators.
Here's a couple of traits I've picked up talking to them, and covering the NFL draft for a decade (boy time flies).
Of course there are exceptions to every rule, but if you look closely you'll discover that successful people/players usually have common traits, and guys who struggle usually have some of the same issues, and provide hints.
1. The shuttle run and 3-cone drill are often overlooked, but they are very important tests because it shows a player's true speed when he changes directions, which is what football is all about. Think about it, how many times do you see a guy run 40-yards in a straight line? Now, how many times a game do you see a guy change directions at least twice and sprint?
2. Small school players need to DOMINANT on their level to even have a chance to play with the big boys. And they SHOULD hold their own at a senior showcase game like the Senior Bowl, East-West Shrine or Texas vs. the Nation. While a small school player might have the athletic ability to be successful in the NFL he'll likely be far behind when it comes to the learning curve and fundamentals.
3. A prospect who had to attend a junior college usually isn't very smart, or is lazy. Hate to stereotype, but it's generally true. Of course there should be exceptions made for (small players, and late bloomers like Bryant McKinnie). But football studs usually know what they need to qualify for one of the NCAA's 300 division I or I-AA schools at a young age. If they don't do what it takes it's a warning sign that something is lacking.
4. No one-year wonders allowed. College athletes have four or five years to develop, but it shouldn't take them all but one year to turn their careers around. Guys who blossom into a dominant player in their final season are either lazy or motivated by money, and neither should be a guy you want on your team. You'll find very few one-year wonders who turning into an NFL star. Guys who bolt after their one good junior year complicate this rule.
5. Leader or follower? Look for team captains and vocal leaders. Sometimes leading by example isn't enough. Every once in a while a team needs someone to stand up in a locker room and give a rousing speech to motivate the troops during a halftime deficit (think Ed Reed). It's never ideal to put all that pressure on the coaches, which players eventually tune out. A locker room full of positive influences is an ideal one.
6. While I'm a sucker for a guy with a big arm, accuracy is the most important trait for a quarterback. Each year that quarterback is a starter he needs to improve, and it's best to evaluate a quarterback's accuracy and game film against his best competition.
7. Nobody in the secondary can run anything higher than a 4.5 time in the 40. I got that one straight from Colts team president Bill Polian, who points out cornerbacks and safeties MUST HAVE recovery speed because "a receiver knows where he's going," a cornerback or safety doesn't and needs to adjust. Think anyone running a 4.6 can catch Desean Jackson?
8. Tailbacks MUST have vision to set up their blocks. This is something that can't be taught. It comes naturally. It's what separates the decent backs (Ronnie Brown) from the elite ones (Frank Gore). You can see vision based on what they do at the line of scrimmage. Just watch his feet.
9. Look for players who create mismatches. That's the new trend in the NFL, and the Miami Dolphins say they'll be taking that approach in this draft. We're talking about receivers with sub 4.4 speed, tailbacks that produce multiple 20-yard runs or receptions a game, and tight ends with the speed to eat up a linebackers coverage.
10. Offensive and defensive linemen with a wrestlers background get bonus points. That's the hardest sport on earth because there's no six minutes in sports that's tougher. Those with wrestling backgrounds (I wrestled in high school) know how important leverage and hand placement is, and so do position coaches. So if you're a former state wrestling champion you get brownie points.
11. Receivers who can't get off the line of scrimmage against press coverage will struggle in the NFL until they learn to (that scares me about Boise State's Titus Young). Cornerbacks who have press coverage experience (plenty of college programs play zone) have a leg up on the competition.
12. Who did you learn from? Look for position coaches on the college level that consistently produce NFL starters. Those are the football factories. Nebraska, Boston College and Virginia generally produce effective starting linemen. Penn State and Miami have churned out effective linebackers. Notre Dame's developing a good reputation with tight ends. Most of the coaches on the Jimmy Johnson tree (that includes Butch Davis and Dave Wannstedt) know how to spot and develop defensive linemen. A good teach is a good teach and will usually bring out the best in his talents.
So, do you have any preferences or traits that generally lead to success in the NFL.

It happens about once or twice a year, I'd say, and always takes me completely by surprise. I'm usually walking along a very crowded street—across Grand Street on a Friday night or down Madison Avenue at rush hour. I see someone with long, curly blond hair. She has a soft face that I cannot quite make out, but I recognize her posture, her walk, her sense of style. " Meg!" I say to myself. Meg was one of the most special people I have ever known, one of those people who watches you grow up just as astutely as you watch them grow up … a student of all the changes in your life. She died the summer I turned 21. She had just turned 24. And every time this happens, every time I think I catch a glimpse of Meg on the streets of Manhattan, there is a moment—literally, it can't be more than a tenth of a second—where I think, "Jesus! I have not seen her in ages! I have so, so much to tell her." And that moment is almost as dense with excitement as it is with memories. It is a glorious moment, despite the fact that it ends with the realization, "Well, obviously that is not Meg, because Meg is dead."

Welcome to year four of Wrestler of the Week. Much like the previous three years this will continue to be a little way to highlight an individual (or tag team as the case may be) that had a particularly banner week in terms of storyline or on-air achievement. Just like in previous years, in addition to highlighting a Wrestler of Week, two honorable mentions will also be noted. Throughout the year point totals will be tallied. Just like in year three, each week 10 points will go to the actual Wrestler of the Week, 5 points going to the first Honorable Mention and 3 going to the second Honorable Mention. At the end of the year a Wrestler of the Year will be crowned.
Wrestler of the Week
Austin Aries
"A Double" defeated the reigning TNA X-Division Champion Seiya Senada on Thursday night's Impact Wrestling to become X-Division Champion a fifth time. The match was actually taped back on June 20 but thanks to TNA's marathon taping sessions it was somewhat unclear when the Title change would air on television. And spoiler alert, thanks to Impact's tapings for the summer, Aries isn't even the Champion in real-time as we speak.
Honorable Mention
Jeff Hardy
On that same episode of Impact, Hardy outlasted 19 other men in an old-fashioned battle royal to become number one contender for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. Hardy finally ditched the Willow alter-ego gimmick and once again became the main event rock star TNA desperately needs him to be.
Over the weekend while WWE was touring Japan, they made a big signing with the Japanese born KENTA. KENTA is only 33 years old but is a fourteen-year veteran. He was a mainstay of Pro Wrestling NOAH, winning numerous Championships along the way. He also toured America and competed with Ring of Honor through 2005 – 2006 and again throughout the end of the last decade. His signing was made official by WWE on July 12 with an in-ring segment in Osaka, Japan alongside the legendary Hulk Hogan and Jimmy Hart. He will be reporting to NXT in Florida shortly.

A Taylor series expansion of function f( x) about some x-location x 0 is given as
Consider the function f( x) = exp( x) = e x. Suppose we know the value of f( x) at x = x 0, i.e., we know the value of f( x 0), and we want to estimate the value of this function at some x location near x 0. Generate the first four terms of the Taylor series expansion for the given function (up to order dx 3 as in the above equation). For x 0 = 0 and dx = −0.1, use your truncated Taylor series expansion to estimate f( x 0 + dx) ,Compare your result with the exact value of e –0.1. How many digits of accuracy do you achieve with your truncated Taylor series?

Academic Overview
School Purpose
The school's purpose is to support the mission of Wolf Creek Academy. Our belief is – "A Hope and a Future for Every Child". Our mission is to provide a quality education to each student and help students master curriculum knowledge via the Accelerated Christian Education system. The education department supports the mission of WCA through classroom functions, diagnostic testing, prescribed curriculum, staff training, and, participation in the three (3) tiered system of evaluation, care, and treatment. Students are given opportunities to learn accountability and responsibility through specific classroom procedures.
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord,
thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
— Jeremiah 29:11
Wolf Creek Academy dual-enrolls all students with Lighthouse Christian Academy for accreditation purposes. Lighthouse Christian Academy (LCA) is accredited through Accreditation International. As a direct result of its accredited status, Lighthouse Christian Academy can validate the education students receive while attending WCA since we have earned A.C.E. Quality Status and our students automatically qualify for this program.
Lighthouse Christian Academy (LCA) has full accreditation status by Middle States Association Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools (MSA-CESS) and by Accreditation International (Ai). Ai is a recognized member in good standing with National Council for Private School Accreditation (NCPSA), the Council on Occupational Education (COE), and the International Council for Education.
WCA supports the concept of establishing daily goals in school work. A planned day will be a successful day. Daily goal setting establishes priorities and creates the pathway for completing work in a timely fashion; a learned skill for use throughout life.
1. Students must be at levels where they can perform.
2. Reasonable goals must be set.
3. Students must be controlled and motivated.
4. Learning must be measurable.
5. Learning must be rewarded.
Whether the student is a high achiever or a moderately paced learner, the Accelerated Christian Education educational process proceeds at the exact level determined by the child's ability.
Students attend class daily in a classroom type setting. The teacher and aids in the classroom provide assistance for students from the sixth grade up to twelfth grade. The quiet environment offers one-on-one attention and tutoring as required. Recognizing that each child is unique with individual learning needs, students are encouraged on a daily basis to work toward accomplishing their goals and continuously progress using techniques designed specifically for them. Often times, a public school setting is full of distractions which cause frustration for the student and can negatively impact their ability to advance. Our therapeutic and nurturing environment is a safeguard for success. We offer various electives such as foreign language, speech, art and physical education. Students thrive while having the opportunity to advance at their own pace; most often an accelerated pace which boosts self-respect, repairs self-confidence and promotes security for a successful future.
The curriculum used at Wolf Creek Academy assures parents of:
- • A solid, back-to-basics education for their children.
- • A course of study individualized to meet a child's specific needs and learning capabilities.
- • A program incorporating Godly character-building and wisdom principles.
College Entrance Tests
WCA routinely schedules students for college-boards. In April, we implement Stanford Achievement testing for 6th, 9th and 11th graders and post the results on their academic record.

There are always fancy new materials being introduced into top of the line vehicles which end up being standard offerings in time.

3 Steps To Better Looking Tires: A Case Study
The other day I was getting into one of the trucks we use here at the shop and when I looked down I noticed the tires were covered in reddish/brown blotches and tons of dirt and dust.

How To Build Your Own Undercarriage Washer

Why Chamois Are A Sham
Recently an acquaintance of mine, for no particular reason, gifted me a chamois (sort of a weird gift, but whatever). Now, I'm not a fan of chamois, and I don't recommend them.

News sources revealed today that two pending cases will finally go to trial today in Virginia – the Kashif Bashir case and former Governor Bob McDonnell and wife Maureen.
The Kashif Bashir trial was announced this morning on local Virginia/D.C. station Newschannel 8. Bashir's trial was postponed twice due to whether he was competent enough to stand trial after psychological testing.
Bashir, 27, was a former cab driver in Alexandria when he opened fire on Officer Peter Laboy and shot him in the head during a traffic stop on Feb. 27, 2013. The policeman was responding to a call from a boutique in which a suspicious man fled in a taxicab. Laboy was wearing a bullet proof vest when shot.
Bashir was charged with "malicious wounding of an officer" and ordered to be held without bond. He had a preliminary hearing that April.
Laboy was hospitalized for several months and received accolades, gifts and donations due to his calamity. He is a 17-year veteran with the Alexandria Police Department and the father of four. He is successfully recovering.
Former Governor Bob McDonnell and wife Maureen began their trial today in Richmond, Va. According to news sources, they arrived separately at the courthouse.
The corruption case involves the couple taking money and gifts from a businessman and the former first lady accused of perjury. NBC4 Washington gave their analysis on the actual charges which was printed in a previous article from this author –
The Republican and his wife are charged in a 14-count indictment with accepting more than $165,000 from Jonnie Williams, the former CEO of dietary supplements maker Star Scientific Inc. In exchange, they would help promote his products, according to prosecutors. Those gifts include shopping sprees for designer clothes and accessories, a Rolex watch, $15,000 in catering expenses for a daughter's wedding, golf outings and a lake-house vacation stay that included use of Williams' Ferrari, according to the indictment.
Among the potential witnesses to stand trial will be the McDonnell children.

The Obama Regime claims that aL-Qaeda has been decimated. But the reality is very different. Al-Qaeda's affiliate in Syria, the al-Nusra has taken the lead against Assad's army. They have won the major victories and are the best fighting force of the rebels.They are also winning the popularity of Syria' Sunnis and are poised to have major influence in post Assad Syria.
(Reuters) – Having seen its star wane in Iraq, al Qaeda has staged a comeback in neighbouring Syria, posing a dilemma for the opposition fighting to remove President Bashar al-Assad and making the West balk at military backing for the revolt.
The rise of al Qaeda's affiliate in Syria, al-Nusra Front, which the United States designated a terrorist organisation last week, could usher in a long and deadly confrontation with the West, and perhaps Israel.
Inside Syria, the group is exploiting a widening sectarian rift to recruit Sunnis who saw themselves as disenfranchised by Assad's Alawite minority, an offshoot of Shi'ite Islam that dominates Syria's power and security structures.
Al-Nusra appears to have gained popularity in a country that has turned more religious as the uprising, mainly among Sunni Muslims, has been met with increasing force by authorities
Another Obama lie exposed.

California Legislature OKs $108 billion state budget
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The state Legislature on Sunday approved California's $108 billion budget for the coming fiscal year, moving swiftly to beat a midnight deadline and adopting the highest general fund spending plan in state history.
The legislation, SB852, passed 55-24 in the Assembly and 25-11 in the Senate, mostly along partisan lines.
The unusual Father's Day legislative session came on the last day the Legislature had to meet its June 15 constitutional deadline to send a balanced budget to Gov. Jerry Brown. The governor and Democratic legislative leaders had agreed to the key details for the budget late last week.
The final plan for the fiscal year starting July 1 meets Brown's demands for a rainy day fund and paying down debt while allocating some of the surplus to programs benefiting lower-income Californians.
Assemblywoman Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley, highlighted some of the additional spending that was a priority for Democratic lawmakers, including $264 million for preschool and day care for low-income families that eventually will cover half of all 4-year-olds in the state.
She said libraries, art programs, student financial aid and welfare-to-work programs were among the many state-supported services that will see more money in the coming fiscal year.
"The investments in this budget are the most significant in years," said Skinner, achairwoman of the Assembly Budget Committee, while also noting the money dedicated to start paying down the hundreds of billions of dollars in state debts and liabilities. She said that part of the budget will "put California on strong fiscal footing."

Wedding Wednesday: Hire A Professional Wedding Planner
Our Wedding Wednesday tip this week:
Hire A Professional Wedding Planner
You may think a Professional Wedding Planners (PWPs) are only for big-budget events, like the ones featured on national wedding blogs and in magazines. However PWPs routinely work with a variety of event types and a range of budgets.
Here are some of the many reasons to hire a Professional Wedding Planner:
- A Professional Wedding Planner will take your wedding vision and craft it into a reality. His/her talent for design and decor will take the essence of your ideas and turn them into the fairy tale day of your–and your budget's–dreams.
- Do you want to do a dissertation's worth of research yourself or do you want to start with the "Cliff's Notes" and delve into the areas that truly interest you? A PWP can give you the freedom to dive in when you are infatuated, but take care of things for the parts you find droll or frustrating (but might be important to your family/attendants/guests).
- PWPs have "seen it all". Your Professional Wedding Planner is ready to handle any idea you have. And, when one of you conjures a truly unique idea, a Professional Wedding Planner will have the experience necessary to troubleshoot the challenges that will arise. Your PWP will make sure your original–dare we say "weird"? It is Austin, after all!–idea will flow smoothly in accordance with your desires, your guests wants, and your vendors needs!
- Do you know how to plan a wedding day timeline? What about a plan for the traffic flow at the reception? A Professional Wedding Planner does.
- A Professional Wedding Planner can take the burden/stress of those most difficult moments away from you and your groom. When you are in it, you can't see it, but a PWP can be objective and create a peaceful moment out of a stressful circumstance.
- As You Wish once crafted a quick/sweet candle ceremony to represent the presence of the Best Man who had given his life for our country before having the chance to stand beside his friend on wedding day. The presence of the Best Man was felt by all of us in attendance on that very special day!
- For another wedding, As You Wish worked with the officiant and the brides' family to manage a tasteful and meaningful symbolic presence of her father, who died just three days before the wedding. Everyone was spared the wedding-day-turned-memorial fiasco that her bridesmaids had envisioned.
- A Professional Wedding Planner will save you more money than s/he costs. It's true. While they don't have some kind of magical "in" with their favorite vendors for freebies galore, PWPs do know which vendors will fit your budget. PWPs also know how you can maximize the effect you desire while taking a shortcut that no one will notice.
- Are your moms and maids already arguing over colors and flowers and other details that are yours to make? A PWP will issue an edict and take all the heat for you. S/he is not just a scape goat, but is also the only bona fide professional in the mix. And, since s/he is not personally involved, your maids and moms are more likely to truly listen to the ideas she brings forth (even if they are your ideas!)
- Most PWPs will also serve as your on-site Wedding Coordinator on wedding day. This will save you from having to figure out who will light the candles at the reception during the last few moments of the ceremony.
- Although, a PWP plans an event that will naturally avoid hiccups, stuff happens last minute. No one can plan for every contingency or every speedbump of the day. A Professional Wedding Planner will know exactly how to fix problems like: a missing/lost boutonniere, a nervous attendant, a late vendor, a child's smudge on the cake, etc.
- Is the baker or catering staff doing this for you? Or, are you stuck to find someone among your family/friends? Do the members of your House Party know how to cut a wedding cake? Probably not. A PWP will make sure that someone knows the best way to cut the cake in accordance with the instructions from your baker.
(And for the ceremonial cut for you and your groom, a professional wedding photographer will walk you right through that for all the perfect poses!)
- Even if you are crafty and organized, have you ever planned an event this large or this important? A Professional Wedding Planner will catch all the things you miss.

Neel Kashkari gave interested California voters quite a bit to think about tonight in what appears to be the first and only debate with incumbent governor Jerry Brown, desperately seeking a fourth term this November.
Hitting hard at Brown's administrative record, Kashkari pointed to Brown's failure to improve California's business climate and what that means for the many Californians looking to get out of poverty and into the middle class. He cited the costs on struggling families coming in 2015 as well.
But Brown disagreed with his opponent's take on his work as governor. He said:
"California's not perfect, we've got our problems, but boy what momentum we now have."
Cap and trade
When asked about California's new global warming law and the 2015 increase in gas prices hurting already-struggling families, Brown didn't really answer the question, instead just calling it "scare tactics" and then launching a free-wheeling defense of his cap and trade program:
"We do have a cap and trade program. The reason is climate change is ... a global challenge. It's an existential threat to our way of life. Also the pollution ... from oil and coal and the other fossil fuels affect ... the asthma rates, the respiratory diseases so we have a cap on the amount of carbon that the oil companies can emit."
That only opened him up for a direct hit on the matter, as Kashkari replied:
'it is not fair'
"Make no mistake about it ... his plan is designed to raise the cost of electricity for working families, to raise the cost of your gas prices to try to make alternatives ... more competitive . It is not fair to wallop working families by raising their gas and utility prices. And then insult to injury, he's taking the money from that program to fund his high speed train which the LAO (Legislative Analyst Office) has said will not do a thing to help the climate."
In other remarks, Kashkari had some expected zingers perhaps, especially regarding the money Brown intends to keep spending on his pet project, the $68 Billion high speed train, over other needs in California, like water and schools. "Water and schools have to come before the high speed train," Kashkari said.
Jobs and the homeless
From another report on the debate, USNews reports that Kashkari made an effort this summer "to demonstrate how difficult it remains to get a job in some parts of the state" by posing as a homeless man in Fresno. Kashkari believes that Brown's lifetime in politics has left him out of touch with many Californians, and that there has been an uneven economic recovery.
More of the verbal sparring, from a report at the WashingtonTimes, included Brown's defense of spending billions of dollars on the train:
"It's cheaper than building highways and airport runways … If we take part of that burden and put it into high-speed rail, it'll be cheaper and cleaner. We're not going to need more oil, we're going to use the sun and wind, and it will help where we need jobs the most. That high-speed rail is starting in the Central Valley. That's why the mayor of Fresno, a Republican, supports high-speed rail, because we're creating jobs where we need it most."
But Kashkari called it "the crazy train" and added that even Gavin Newsom, Brown's own lieutenant governor, says it "makes no sense."
California's realignment program
California's realignment program, which is shifting thousands of low-level offenders to county jails instead of state prisons, brought more words.
Brown believes it has been a success in the first two years and the program would continue. "With Proposition 30, we guarantee billions of dollars to counties to pay for the local programs. And it is working, and that's why the people who carry it out, the county sheriffs, endorse my campaign, along with the police."
Kashkari disagreed. "They're being released onto our streets, and they're committing heinous crimes again … There's a guy in Stockton, I hate to say these words because they're horrible, this guy who Governor Brown released went on and robbed and raped and murdered his own grandmother. These are dangerous people that are being released onto our streets."
