It's holiday season here on the blog, and as the editorial team take a short break, we'll be leaving you with a reduced blogging schedule so that you still get your daily dose of wedding lovely. Usual service will recommence on Monday 3rd July 2017 but in the meantime watch out for recaps of some of our favourite Real Weddings from the first half of the year so far.
Drop in every day for the very prettiest, most unique wedding inspiration and – if you are a Brides Up North bride – to see if your real wedding was one of our top picks.
Brides Up North reader Becky and her beau Paul were keen to find a venue with a difference and so booked the uber cool Victoria Warehouse in Manchester as the back drop for their big day. This also happens to be the venue at which we will be staging our BigCityWedFest'17 event at on Sunday 3rd September, featuring the area's most fabulous suppliers for an epic wedding fair with an urban festival style vibe. Watch this space for more details soon!
The warehouse's raw and industrial features both contrasted and complemented Becky and Paul's elegant theme of rose gold, blush and marble – perhaps three of our very favourite things! We are also totally besotted with Becky's stunning Jesus Piero gown and pink mules, not to mention her luscious locks (those bangs!!)
However, it's not just the appearance of this wedding that had us hooked, it's the sentiment behind it too. Watching the video we just adore the friendly banter, kind words and love – in a similar style to the cake, this one shot an arrow right through our hearts!!

Becky + Paul from jon bird on Vimeo.
becky says: Paul and I had been together more than five years when he proposed. Due to all the weddings of friends and family we have attended over the past three or four years, we had never actually had a full week's holiday just the two of us. So, at the end of June 2016 we decided to treat ourselves to a week in Cape Verde. We arrived on the Sunday and got settled in to our gorgeous hotel and found what would be become 'our spot' on the beach for the week. After our first full day of relaxing on the beach on Monday, the sun was starting to fade a little so Paul suggested a walk along the beach before we went back to the room. I thought this was uncharacteristically romantic for him – especially when he offered to carry the bags. We walked along the beach and chatted, it crossed my mind that he was going to push me in the sea for a joke at one point, little did I know he was walking slightly behind so that he could put the ring he had been hiding in his wallet into a box and get down on one knee. I let out a bit a squeal and then thought he was joking – I'd been waiting for this moment and it was just perfect. White sand, blue sea and my best friend.
We got married on 21st January 2017. We decided that we wanted to marry as soon as we could but without having to compromise on the kind of wedding we wanted. Seven months seemed like enough time to plan and pay for the wedding and January is always a bit of a downer – having the wedding to look forward to was a real lift. Although three weeks after Christmas and New Year isn't the best time for wedding diets!
We got married at Victoria Warehouse Hotel & Events, which is a converted warehouse in the Trafford Park area of Manchester. We knew we didn't want a church wedding as neither of us regularly visit one, so we had a look at the lists of approved wedding ceremony venues in Manchester and surrounding areas. Paul is Stockport born and bred and having moved to Manchester for university, I have now lived 'up north' for 50% of my life so it is officially home.
We worked out that we had been to about 15 weddings in the past three years, and we'd loved them all, but we wanted ours to be something different and for it to reflect our tastes. We really love industrial architecture and old buildings so Victoria Warehouse just felt perfect. It is a totally unique venue and had so much flexibility for us to put our own stamp on the day.
I love looking at anything wedding related and still do even though ours is done. With a venue like Victoria Warehouse, which is quite dark and moody, I thought a really clean, simple and elegant theme would work well. My mum came to visit when we got back from Cape Verde, to congratulate us on our engagement, and brought a box of gifts with her. The box was marble and rose gold and I instantly loved it – the theme was born! Simple, clean and chic.
We added some blush to the marble and rise gold too. The shops seemed to be full of those colours, which was so useful when buying decorations and accessories. I made or bought almost everything for the wedding from value shops and online so we could spend money on the big things, so picking a scheme that was on trend in terms of interiors made that really easy – the wedding could have been sponsored by Primark, Home Bargains, ASOS and eBay (shhh don't tell anyone)!
I'm not the most body confident of people – I'm pretty short and very 'curvy' so I assumed finding a dress wasn't going to be easy. I tried a few different shops and had become a bit fed up with nothing fitting and too much bling and fuss. I had in my mind visions of me with tousled hair with a floral crown and a long sleeved, floaty boho dress. 'My' dress however, could not have been more different!
One of my bridesmaids, Victoria, made me an appointment at Lulu Browns in Whalley, Lancashire, after a couple of her work friends had got their dresses from there. To begin with I thought it was a bit of a trek from South Manchester, but it was definitely worth it. The minute we stepped through the door Jenna, Jennie and rest of the lovely ladies that work there made me feel like the most special bride. Nothing was too much trouble, they had a stunning range of dresses and they were so patient with me. I was still going for this boho dream and it just wasn't working with my shape. I had seen my dress and loved it but it just wasn't what I had in mind. After a bit of persuasion, I gave it a try, well that was it. It was the one. I actually really liked myself in it and it suited my figure so much. What was funny was that I had seen it in a store almost two years previously when looking with my mum for her wedding and lusted after it – I never thought it would be the dress I would end up wearing.
Designed by Jesus Peiro, the Luciana gown had a wide waist band to catch me at my narrowest part and then a full skirt to balance out my top half. Boho was out – timeless elegance was in! Plus I got it from a store with the same surname that I would be changing – it felt like fate. My shoes were from Office.
Paul got me a leather biker jacket as my wedding gift. I've wanted one for ages and every time I put it on I think of him – I've embroidered our initial and wedding date on the inside!
Paul wears a suit every day for work and wore tails when he was best man for his friend so he wanted something a little different for the wedding. He is tall and slim so looks great in most things but he does like a slimmer fitting suit. We did a lot of online research and looked in a few stores and found the best range of more fashion forward and affordable suits was on ASOS. Two suits ordered and tried on and the winner was selected – so easy! The tweed style fabric and double breasted waistcoat of Paul's suit and bow tie added a bit of a twist to his usual workwear.
As my gift to Paul on the day I got him a special pocket watch to wear. I also adopted him an otter! Did you know otters hold hands when they sleep in the water so that they don't lose each other? So cute. We love otters!

Clitheroe venue Eaves Hall was the perfect choice for today's discerning couple, offering them exclusive use of its magnificent Georgian mansion and the stunning Ribble Valley as a backdrop to their big day.
Everything about this wedding speaks of elegance, from the all-cream blooms to the classy navy and gold colour palette. The bride wows in her backless lace Serenity dress and her vision of candelabras, greenery and lights is a lesson in chic venue-dressing.
However, there are also lots of light-hearted touches, from cake-pop penguins holding hockey sticks to pay homage to the groom's hobby, to Little Mermaid shoe laces for Ariel fan Kerry.

kerry says: We got engaged on Christmas Eve 2013 at home; it was just perfect. Christmas is such a special time of year for us both and it was our daughter's first, which made it even more wonderful. Wesley said he wanted to give me an early Christmas present and I was adamant I wanted to keep them all a surprise. However, he pulled out a ring box and asked me to marry him with our little girl there. It simply couldn't have been more perfect. We celebrated with the family that night and toasted the future together.
Our wedding date was Saturday 13th February 2016. We didn't plan to get married on Valentine's weekend. We saw the venue, loved it, visited again on a wedding open day and they had the date available so we booked it.
We were married at Eaves Hall in Clitheroe. Both the ceremony and the reception were held there. Wesley and I first saw it online and we both loved it immediately. I knew it was where I wanted but also knew it was booked up well in advance. We went to view it in May 2015 and the amazing wedding coordinators mentioned that they had a date free and so we secured it with a deposit there and then. We also hired the lodge the night before so all the bridal party could stay together and we celebrated together as we prepared for our big day.
Our wedding colour scheme was navy, cream and gold. We wanted a simple colour scheme as it was a winter wedding and we didn't want anything too fussy.
I chose a Sincerity fitted, backless lace dress from Lulu Browns Bridal Boutique in Whalley. It was the first dress I saw online and, even though I'd visited a few bridal boutiques and tried on lots of different styles, I hadn't found one that came close. When I visited Lulu Browns I saw it hanging up and I knew that it was the one. Then I tried it and it was perfect!
My wedding shoes were decorated by one of my friends. Anyone who knows me knows my favourite thing in the world is The Little Mermaid and my friend put crystals all over my wedding converse and added Little Mermaid laces. It was such a lovely surprise and I hope she knows how much I loved the gesture!
Wesley had also given my bridesmaids a present for me on the morning of the wedding. It was a Pandora charm locket that said 'to my beautiful wife, forever and always'.
My wedding make up was just stunning and the make-up artists were from Mystique Nails and Beauty in Oswaldtwistle. I would recommend them to any bride planning a wedding as they were experienced, professional and did exactly what I wanted.

Wow! is the word that we would use to sum up today's real wedding on the blog!
We love everything about Natalie & Jamie's big day, built around a secret-fair-garden-type theme.
Natalie's stunning dress, bouquet and super cute daisy chain headband make her look wonderfully whimsical and elegant and we could spend an age just looking at her, though there are lots of other gorgeous elements to take note of, including the maids' cute dresses and incredible centre pieces.
Prepare to swoon…

natalie says: We got engaged on a beautiful beach in Portugal. Jamie's plan was to propose on a jet ski, but as I don't like the sea, I refused to get on! His backup plan was to propose in one of the caves in the sea…again, I was awkward and refused to take part! Eventually, he gave in and proposed on the beach.
Our wedding was on 23rd May 2015, at The Great Hall at Mains in Lancashire. We chose the venue as its very local to us (literally round the corner from our house). As we were only having a small wedding, it was important that all our guests would be able to make it!
We wanted to choose a theme that suited our style and that wasn't too serious. We're not massive fans of traditional weddings so we wanted something a little bit different. In the end we chose a whimsical theme – like a secret fairy garden.
The colour scheme was mainly pale pink and apple green. I didn't have a scheme in mind until we went shopping for bridesmaids dresses – the dresses we found were perfect for the theme so they determined the colour scheme!

Alex & Nick's glam & gorgeous country garden wedding has it all – beautiful blooms, a fab frock and plenty of fudge!
Groom Nick also knows what side his bread's buttered on, sending his best man bearing a pair of Jimmy Choo skyscrapers to his bride to be on the morning of the wedding. Alex, you've trained him well.
With images by Niki Mills Photography.
Alex says:We got engaged at home on our five year anniversary and were married on 19th September 2014. We chose the date due to it being seven years to the day we met. Were not the romantic type so this made our day extra special.
We got married at St Peters Church in Darwen because it is where I was christened and due to it having links with St Pauls, where Nicks Grandparents, Aunty and Parents were married.
We chose The Inn at Whitewell as our reception venue as I remember going to a wedding when I was younger and thinking to myself 'If I ever get married I want it to be here!'. Nick also loved the character of the place and we agreed it was 'us'.
I picked a 'Garden' theme as my wedding dress had the most intricate floral lace and embellishment on it and I wanted everything to relate to the dress on the day. My husband calls me a magpie as I love anything sparkly so the day needed to be glam too.
The colour scheme chose me. I love the vintage feel with golds, blush, nudes, creams, greys and pinks and made sure they all had a part to play somewhere. I also added a little fresh green to break it up and give the theme a little dimension! Everything that featured in the day was there because I liked it not because it matched.
All wedding dresses are beautiful and its hard finding 'the one'. After searching when we first got engaged I found a beautiful Blue by Enzoani dress in Lulu Browns (Whalley) that was fresh and young with one shoulder. It was so completely different to what I thought it would want but so beautiful too. We didn't start planning properly until December 2013, and when I went to look for dresses again I walked in Bellisima (Holcombe Brook, Bury) and there it was there waiting for me.
Joanne Tudda MUA did my make up on the day, she is recently qualified and was valuable to the ladies of the wedding party on the morning of the wedding.
Nick very clothes conscious and wanted a mod suit and to arrive on a Vespa, but after a discussion on how our Dads would look in this type of suit and a successful fitting at Amelia's Bridal (Clitheroe) he decided on light grey tails, skinny trousers, a floral tie and brown brogues – and looked ever so classic and handsome.
Bridesmaids dresses are lovely but I didn't want them to look the same as everyone else, I chose metallic evening gowns from Phase Eight and had them custom fit for every girl.
The flower girl dresses were chosen by Nick by accident in Monsoon, the vintage frocks had the exact same colour sash as the bridesmaids and floral lace. They were perfect for my girls who were 8, 4 and 3.
I arrived in a classic black Mercedes, I love the vintage cars but as the venue is 40 minutes away we decided to spend the majority of the transport budget on a double decker bus for the night guests. Apparently it was quite a ride on the county roads home!
Our photographer was Niki Mills from Niki Mills Photography. After watching her DVD and crying at how beautifully she had captured other couples special days I booked her. From that moment on she went above and beyond, from a really fun engagement shoot (which really helped our confidence under the lense) to rounding everyone up on the day to ensure she got all the shots we wanted. When starting the wedding planning process my dad said to me 'Make sure you spend good money on the photographer, you'll never get that day back'. And he was right, Niki captured our day in a way that really tells our story, in exactly the relaxed fun style we wanted. I am so glad I didn't have a videographer as Nikki achieved what they would have done with just her talent.
I remember seeing a Naked Cake for the first time and thinking 'Wow, I wonder who can make me one of those?'. I enlisted the help of my godmothers daughter Victoria who does cake baking as a hobby but who is extremely good. She goes by the name of 'Victoria Sponge'. She took the task on board and did not disappoint with the cake being a huge hit!
I envisioned the flowers to be as though they had been collected from a country garden with a vintage rose as the centrepiece. Sue's Bluebells worked extremely hard at ensuring this vision was perfect over many cups of tea.
My bouquet was made by a good friend Danielle who made her own brooch bouquet a few years ago. I collected all the individual brooches and pieces of jewellery and she magically put it all together with added extras – such as my grandma & granddad being with me all day in a locket.
The decorations were all finds by my mum and me from Home Sense, The Range, charity shops, car boot sales, the wine loving next door neighbours and by painstakingly soaking jars in the washing up bowl to the annoyance of Nick. He would come home and say 'Why are there so many watering cans in this house?!' or 'Surely you have enough jars now?!'.
Sue's Bluebells put together all the centrepieces and Nicola at Bride's Little Helper set up the marquee and created my unique crate and gold frame table plan.
I also envisioned a very romantic feel as it went dark in the marquee so with the help of Nicola put candles in everything. It really made a spectacle as the day room was so fresh and at night it changed into candlelight. I asked for the braziers to be lit outside and some guests sat outside with drinks round the fires.
Bride's Little Helper is a wonderful little business, Nicola and Mark did so much for me in the run up to the wedding, from the beautiful stationary, the room, the transport and emotional support battling out ideas.
Nick and I are foodies and we love fudge. I ordered in a huge amount of the stuff from a gorgeous shop in the Peak District (where we go camping) and gave out Salted Caramel and Dark Chocolate fudge to the delight of the guests. They were then given in little plant pots to go with the theme.
For the day guests we had a vintage ice cream trike, provided by Laura at Love My Trike which went down a treat with the guests, but for the evening entertainment we simply had a DJ. Nick has a brother and together they are all the entertainment any wedding needs. Nick being a huge lover of music (he went to Ibiza for his Stag weekend) talked me into the idea of an 'Ibiza Hour' which I ok'd as he hadn't asked for much. It was all the entertainment we needed and had the guests up dancing all night long.
We added lots of special touches to the day, Nick and I no longer have any grandparents and we wanted them to be a part of our day, my dad and I spent an afternoon shabbing up an old pair of ladders and Nicola at brides little helper made the most gorgeous remembrance jars with their names in, which lit up at night.
We also love to go camping so every table was named under a place that we have visited in our tent, this went down a treat with our guests as many of them have been on these trips with us!
I really hate the pain of high heels so I painted an old magazine rack silver and made sure the girl guests had flip flops so there was no excuse not to dance!
I have many favourite moments, but sitting at the top table with my new husband surrounded by our closest friends and family who were there for us that day meant so much.
We honeymooned in Sri Lanka for a week and then onto the Maldives for ten nights. Nick is an action lover so in Sri Lanka we went white water rafting and on safari and snorkelled and scuba dived in the Maldives, together with a lot of sunbathing! A special surprise was the honeymoon being a gift to us from my mum and dad – we found out at the top table!
People say the best advice is to take a step back and take it all in. However, I would say to other Brides Up North– ground yourself in the morning, tell yourself that this is really happening and try to get into the moment. You spend months and months planning the most perfect day and on the day feel as though you are watching through a dream.

We're all smiles in the Brides Up North office this morning after a very, very lovely day at our Brides Up North Super Showcase Grand Wedding Exhibition yesterday at Ramside Hall Hotel. I commented on Facebook last night that I've not seen so many excited brides and grooms in one place for a while, and it was great to see you all – another cracker of a day! Thank you to our fabulous exhibitors who packed the huge banqueting spaces with wedding pretty and each and every one of you who came along to support the Northern Revolution.
Snaps to you!
Right back to it this morning as we join Jennifer and Ryan for their twinkly vintage Real Wedding at Mitton Hall. With images by Project Valentine, this is one sparkling celebration. Take it easy this Monday morning, and feel the love…
Jennifer says: On my birthday (21st December 2012) there was an extra present under the tree which was a bunch of cupcakes made to look like roses with 'Will You Marry Me?' written on the centre one.
We were married on 23rd December 2013 at Mitton Hall, Mitton, Whalley. We chose the venue because it was a mixture of old and new. It is a 15th century building with old dark wood and balconies and has a new extension that is light and modern.
I chose a vintage theme for the wedding. I wanted to find a bridesmaid dress first that everyone would be happy with and decided that would be the colour scheme. These were ivory, pink and purple so we used this throughout the decorations.
I bought my dress from Lulu Browns in Whalley. It was a Justin Alexander dress, I fell in love with it when I saw it. It had the vintage lace feel but it was heavily embellished with sequins and beads.
The bridesmaid dresses were from Debenhams, they were so different from anything else we had seen. We bought all the suits from Next so everybody could keep them.
Our photographers were called Project Valentine and they did a fabulous job. They focus more on natural shots and you hardly notice they are there which made the day very relaxed.
We found a lady called Chris who has a company called Beautifully Vintage. She did all the vintage table settings and decorations in the room and it looked stunning.
We bought a four tier lemon cake from Marks and Spencer and decorated it the day before with matching flowers.
I bought some artificial roses and made our bouquets myself. I used Christmas decorations and fancy beads to give them the vintage look.
Our favourite part of the day was when all the ceremony and speeches had been done we could finally relax and enjoy the party with our guests. We used SJ Enterprises and they provided a DJ, chocolate fountain and casino tables so there wasn't a gap between the night and day.
For our honeymoon we are looking forward to going to Greece in the Summer.
My top tip for other Brides Up North would be to seek help where appropriate. I am quite creative and found it hard not to do everything by myself. I made all the stationery but it did stress me out slightly. The best thing I did was get suppliers to do the table dressing – it just made it so special. I even considered making the cake myself but I am glad we bought one in the end!
Congratulations Jennifer & Ryan!

The lovely Lydia, a new friend of mine, sent Brides Up North her gorgeous Real Wedding.
Take it away Lyd: Tom proposed whilst we were on holiday in Sorrento in August 2008. I'm pleased to say he surpassed himself on the romance front, asking me on bended knee at sunset with a view of Mount Vesuvius and the bay of Naples…he even had a glass of prosecco waiting to celebrate, what a smoothie! We booked the wedding for the following summer and so we had to quickly get organised with the planning…especially as our first daughter Emilia was due to be born in February 2009!
We were married at Wheatley Lane Methodist Church, Fence in Lancashire on 4 July 2009. The reception was held at my parents' house nearby in Roughlee. We wanted the day to be really relaxed and have quite a village fete/festival feel about it and therefore as there is quite a bit of land around the house we decided to hire a giant tee pee tent to have the party in. The tee pee was supplied by Papa Kata, a great company based in York. We had 130 guests for the day, with another 100 joining us for the evening reception.
To continue the relaxed country theme we travelled by tractor and decorated trailer down to the church…I'm glad the windswept look was in that year! The service was really vibrant, filled with lots of singing and laughter. The tumbling cascades of white and cream flowers were prepared by my two Aunties and a friend who is an expert in arrangements.
Back at the reception, village fete games filled the time whilst photographs were taken by our excellent Preston based photographer Laimonas Stasiulis. On offer was welly wanging, a football shooting in competition and a North v South tug of war led by the Bride and Groom (needless to say the North won both the boys and girls contest!)
Both Tom and myself have 2 sisters each and therefore, the bridesmaid numbers did spiral slightly out of control with a total of 8. It was definitely a case of 'the more the merrier' though as the 6 older bridesmaids looked fantastic in matching dresses of all different colours, whilst the little ones were adorable in mini versions of my dress. Tom's best man and 5 ushers looked very dashing, each accompanying the bridesmaid who's dress matched their cravat.
I managed to buy my dress before I got too big from a gorgeous bridal boutique called Lulu Brown's in Clitheroe, Lancashire, which is where I went to school. It was white with halter neck straps, a jewel encrusted bodice and really full tulle skirt – lots of fun to twirl around in!
The scrumptious meal was followed by a Ceilidh dance before our guest hit the dance floor to party the night away to an iPod playlist of classic anthems compiled by us.
All in all, the perfect day!

Travel without Movement
Mateo López
(Colombian, born 1978)
2010. Installation of drawings, objects, and furniture, dimensions variable
Over two years, López rode his Vespa scooter for 1,300 miles along train tacks in his native Colombia, through the cities of Bogotá, Cali, and Medellín. The railway system, once a symbol of the promise of industry, was never completed and now remains abandoned in a country still struggling with forces such as drug cartels and paramilitary groups.
During his travels, López carefully captured the objects he encountered in detailed drawings. Travel without Movement (in Spanish Viaje sin movimiento) combines these renderings with physical objects he found along the way and objects reconstructed in paper. For the centerpiece of the installation, López—who trained as an architect—constructed a staircase that, he once explained, "I imagine coming from an old house in Bogotá. . . . This is a staircase to nowhere."1
A form of art, developed in the late 1950s, which involves the creation of an enveloping aesthetic or sensory experience in a particular environment, often inviting active engagement or immersion by the spectator.
Mobile Home
During his journeys, López's Vespa scooter converted into a portable artist studio.

History-In 1947, the Delaware Association of Chiefs' of Police, an organization which was composed of active law enforcement and correctional officers, accepted the challenge to undertake a project to combat juvenile delinquency in the First State. A committee was appointed to investigate the problems confronting youth. The committee's resulting recommendations led to the establishment of Camp Barnes for the recreation of deserving youth from throughout the state.
Camp Barnes, located on Miller's Creek, a tributary of Little Assawoman Bay, has since served the needs of thousands of children from throughout Delaware. Camp Barnes was originally designed to provide the children who were unable to attend summer camp an opportunity to experience life at a summer youth camp. Camp Barnes has remained basically unchanged, providing Delaware children with these outdoor experiences for over 60 years.

|3 - 7 nights
Casa Flores is a stylish 2000 square foot, 2 bedroom, beachfront condo located in the exclusive Quinta Luna condo complex of upscale Puerto Aventuras Mexico. Casa Flores boasts one of the largest private oceanfront terraces of any condo in Puerto Aventuras. This bright, airy, inviting condo, is one floor up from ground and offers spectacular indoor and outdoor living in a delightfully soothing atmosphere.
The open kitchen design is bright and fully functional with everything one might need to prepare a simple snack or a multi course meal. A tasteful dining table with seating for 6 is conveniently located between the kitchen and living areas.
The living room is very comfy with sofa, love seat and armchair. Entertainment is provided by a satellite TV and a DVD/CD player.
The master bedroom has a King bed and quality linens to ensure a restful sleep. A glass slider opens up to that beautiful terrace. The attached bathroom with a tub-shower combination, is very tastefully done in marble and tile.
The guest bedroom is just as tastefully finished with cool Caribbean colors. It is conveniently set up to suit a variety of groups with a King bed and a single day bed. A second bathroom with shower is just outside the guest bedroom entrance door. This bathroom is finished with the same quality and class as the rest of the condo.
The real highlight of this wonderful condo is the enormous oceanfront terrace. With a fabulous professional gas grill, dining table with chairs, chaise lounges and various sitting areas, both in the cool of the shade or basking in the sun, there really is no reason to be inside other than to get some fresh ice for your cocktail.
IMPORTANT NOTE: there is an additional $50 fee for Sunday arrivals and $50 for Sunday departures. This does not automatically calculate in the rate quote so will be added after contacting the owner.
I have been living in Puerto Aventuras since 2000. I built a 9 bedroom villa here that I rent out to vacationers. That led to a number of my neighbors asking me to represent their properties as a rental agent. Today I handle over 80 villas and condos from Playa del Carmen to Tulum. Between myself and my reservations assistant Desiree, there is someone with local knowledge of the properties and area, available 365 days of the year. We look forward to the opportunity to assist you.
The owners of this property are very dear friends of mine. They have put a lot of love into this condo and it shows. It is well maintained with little upgrades and improvements always being made. You are going to LOVE the terrace..
We had an amazing time. The condo is fantastic and was even better than the pictures. The beach and pool area was amazing, so clean and quiet. We loved using the bbq and the kitchen was quite well stocked in terms of utensils which is always nice. One small thing, there's no iron in the condo - (UPDATE - there is now an iron and iron board). That was our only quandary :) Thanks for a great vacation!
My husband and my adult daughter stayed here. We like to rest on vacation and enjoy looking at the water. The complex was very quiet, we stayed 2 weeks. I don't cook big meals but I did cook omelets, make a lot of coffee and served a lot of wine and cheese on the terrace. The kitchen was well equipped. Any issues were handled quickly by Aeriel or his staff. You can even rent kayaks for the inlet. We rented a golf cart to get back and forth to restaurants and to just sightsee within the complex. The restaurants Doug put in the pre-arrival letter were great. We ate at the Pub, Hippos and Café Ole several times. La Caleta had really good fish tacos. One thing to keep in mind, check to see if they accept credit cards or have charges for credit card use. We never even exchanged money for pesos. The pictures are pretty true and any issues are soon forgotten when you go out on the patio. It is huge. It is a comfortable home. Bring movies if you need to wind down in the evening as the tv did go in and out sometimes. We speak mostly English and did find at least one station that had shows we enjoyed. There is wifi and it would go out now and then. Once again not an issue as there was no charge for wifi and many places charge for wifi. Many of the restaurants have free wifi as well. I will use this service again.
My husband and I stayed for a week at this lovely condo. The terrace was absolutely the highlight of this condo, and the location was so peaceful. We would spend our days doing a variety of things. We would start at one of the wonderful bakeries at the town center having a chocolate croissant, and a smoothie. There were a variety of activities either at our condo such as snorkeling, beach combing, and enjoying the rocks with tide pools right in front of the condo. We usually snacked on some things we got from the grocery store for lunch. We would then head into the town center to enjoy dinner overlooking the dolphin pools. We loved the many varieties of restaurants Puerto Aventuras had to offer. The Wi-Fi at this house was an absolute lifesaver as our cell phones did not make it back safely from our whale shark excursion on the first day. This allowed us to stay in touch with our children back home through our iPad. Doug and Desiree were absolute gems to deal with. Anytime I had a question about anything they would get back to me within minutes. They also arranged our airport transfer by a company called super trans 2000. They were great to deal with, and were waiting for us at the airport with our name on a sign when we walked outside. The driver, Carlos, was excellent and did not scare us at all while driving among some of the crazy traffic. Carlos stopped at the grocery store for us and waited for an hour while we got groceries . I paid all of the shuttle money minus the last tip upfront, and Carlos returned for us at exactly the time we needed him to on our day of departure. It was a very smooth trip, and I would recommend Brisa Caribe to anyone who is looking to have a nice peaceful vacation. Even the condo administrator, Ariel, allowed us to print our boarding passes from his office printer so that we would not be delayed at the airport. All in all this was a great vacation and we cannot wait to come back.
Two weeks between Sol y Luna and Casa Flores. Both units were comfortable and impressive locations. We felt we were immersed in a luxurious 5 star location - staff were friendly and eager to help. The location and views were stunning - ocean and pool - the grounds including the lagoon were perfect. Close enough to the action and amenities in Puerto Aventuras but distant enough to not be affected by the crowds at the all inclusive. Peaceful.
We will be back and would not hesitate for a moment to recommend this location.
Note - we travel a lot - and have been to many spots so we are not easily impressed.
The unit was as advertised. Fantastic!!! Both Doug and Desiree at Brisa Caribe were very helpful and made the reservation a breeze. They provided great information and assistance with airport transfers, local attractions and recommendations for dining etc. The onsite manager Aerial was very helpful and quick to respond to any of our needs. Pedro does most of the maintenance and was always around keeping the grounds looking great. Would love to return some day to this beautiful area and would definitely use this company again for any of my reservation needs in this area.
Thanks for sharing this lovely location. The staff were very friendly and helpful as well as permanent residents at Quinta Luna...Doug was meticulous with his information package and preparation. We have travelled to Puerto Aventuras on many occasions and when we return we will use Barisa Caribe services. The property was meticulous and well maintained. Enjoyed many restaurants in the area but were disappointed in Pelican Point. The food did not reflect the price. Will likely return with extended family....
We spent a week at Casa Flores over the Christmas holiday. It was so much more than we ever dreamed. The condo is lovely, clean and comfortable and features incredible views of the ocean. The highlight was the enormous terrace. Because we like to cook, we spent many enjoyable and relaxing meals at the large outdoor table, eating fresh seafood hot from the cozy outdoor grilling area on the terrace. It is quiet, private, and the other owners were friendly and gracious. Go to Puerto aventuras if you want a quiet, relaxing vacation, and travel to Playa if you crave the nightlife. Doug, the rental agent, was meticulous about preparing us for our trip, making sure we knew about where to shop, eat, visit, buy fish, wash vegetables, drive, you name it. I highly recommend this rental. In fact, I was so impressed that I am bringing my extended family back to a larger rental managed by Doug in Puerto adventuras next year.

Persistence Pays…
Inspired from Author Napoleon Hill….and a few other folks!
Lack of persistence is a weakness common to business developers and professional services firms. It is a weakness that can be overcome by consistent effort. Conquering lack of persistence is fully dependent upon the intensity of the person or organization's desire to reach their goal(s). Weak desires bring weak results, just as a small amount of fire makes a small amount of heat.
If you find yourself or your organization lacking in persistence, build a stronger fire under your desires. Annual planning helps – set simple and clear objectives, goals, and take consistent and persistent action. Keep looking at your goals, keep taking action toward those goals.
You may find it necessary to "snap" out of your mental inertia. Be persistent no matter how slowly you may, at first, have to move. With persistence will come success. There is no substitute for persistence. It cannot be supplanted by any other quality. Those who have cultivated the habit of persistence seem to enjoy insurance against failure. No matter how many times they are defeated, they continue to pick themselves up after each setback and keep on trying. They receive, as their compensation, attaining whatever goal they are pursuing. Without persistence, you will be defeated, even before you start. With persistence, you will win.
Go Grow!

By Kevin Eastman, Tom Waltz, Bobby Curnow, Dave Wachter, Ronda Pattison, Shawn Lee
You're probably familiar with the phrase "It's not the destination, it's the journey." It applies to actual traveling, but it can also work for stories. While I'm of the opinion that endings are fairly important, in multi-arc story lines, the journey from beginning to the end stretches out to various degrees of enjoyment.
The Walking Dead is a great example of this, delivering such engrossing and surprising stories that often repeat narrative patterns. As I caught up on Season seven of the TV adaptation, I was reminded of how many times I'd seen the characters meet a dangerous foe before retaliating and ultimately winning. I've seen it a dozen times, but it hasn't gotten old because each time feels different and I'm so invested in the characters. While it may seem crazy comparing TMNT to one of the highest selling comics, current ongoing comics or most popular TV shows; the quality of both is usually pretty even.
So it goes with the "Chasing Phantoms" arc of IDW's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. While I've seen aspects of the story within issue #64 before, within the same arc no less, it's no less enjoyable because the characters are so well developed. Over 64 issues and countless tie-ins and mini series, the TMNT are well defined as a close family unit of ninjas. Lately, they've been drifting due to Master Splinter seizing control of the Foot clan. While Michelangelo has quit the team before, this time feels more poignant. While the heroes have defeated many enemies before, this victory feels different. Finally, while Master Splinter has tried to teach his sons many hard lessons in the ways of ninjitsu and family, this one may be the hardest yet.
At Master Splinter's request, Casey Jones has taken control of the Purple Dragons gang. With their added numbers, the Foot and the TMNT storm Darius Dun's headquarters to rescue Harold Lillija. The battle is mostly business as usual for the TMNT after fighting the Street Phantoms and learning their weaknesses, except for Harold losing a chance to reunite with his ex-wife and business rival Libby. Seeing Harold vulnerable and unsarcastic was a totally unexpected experience and one which will likely affect him for years to come.
At the battle's conclusion, Master Splinter gives Darius a chance to surrender everything he has to the Foot Clan or be executed. Darius chooses the former, and Splinter coldly has him killed. Each of the Turtles walks away from their master after that, with only Leonardo staying behind long enough to hear his reasons behind his withholding information from his sons and acting so harshly. Splinter plans to take control of all the crime in New York City in order to create a safer world for his family.
Wachter and Pattison outdo themselves this issue depicting the TMNT and Angel fight enemies who can move through solid objects. Even though our heroes dispatch them with ease, it looks great thanks to Wachter's use of the "camera" to create perspective or show the Turtles fighting inside a stairwell. Wachter gives the action scenes bold lines and Neal Adams-esque poses, which compounds with Pattison's excellent colors in a dark value. It gives the colors some grit, choosing warm and cool hues but keeping them to the same vibrancy. Even the sound effects appear natural and consistent with the rest of the art. Special mention goes to Wachter's facial expressions, as this issue necessitates emotion and feeling for the characters. Harold loses a chance to reconnect with the love of his life, Libby has to prove to her ex-husband that she has changed and wants him back in her life and of course, the Turtles have to process Spinter's latest betrayal. Wachter's shading and inks let the reader slip into classic Eastman and Laird TMNT mode, but with a more refined outcome by today's standards in storytelling.
This was a tough week for TWF, but this issue (as well as the series overall) continues to be one of the strongest ones to be following. Sixty four issues in, the series still surprises me and makes me care for teenage mutant animals that are also ninjas. While many of the beats here are familiar, even recent, the creative teams have put in the work in the preceding issues to have the payoff really stick. I can't wait to see where the TMNT, Casey, even the Foot, go forward after this issue as there's no easy fixes on the horizon. The journey onward, is looking like one hell of a ride…

BJP ideology and future of scientific enterprise in India
By Ram Puniyani
The Bharatiya Janata Party and its leaders, who are currently ruling and dictating the direction of scientific research and development, seem to have different ideas. While we have good foundations in all round areas of science and technology be it the area of basic science and technology, health, atomic energy, space science and what have you, it seems that currently direction being pursued by ruling dispensation is putting the things in the reverse gear.
With Indian independence and coming of Indian Constitution; the foundations for progress in the society were laid. This was to be for an all out progress and the basis of this was the principles of scientific temper. This process was guided by the architect of modern India, Jawaharlal Nehru. We saw the surge of the institutions which contributed to the progress of the country; with great contributions of Indian scientists. There were flaws and weaknesses, of course, but the direction was a rational, direction was that of scientific approach. This fulfilled the clause of the Article 51a of the Indian constitution which enjoins upon citizens the "fundamental duty" to develop "the scientific temper".
The Bharatiya Janata Party and its leaders, who are currently ruling and dictating the direction of scientific research and development, seem to have different ideas. While we have good foundations in all round areas of science and technology be it the area of basic science and technology, health, atomic energy, space science and what have you, it seems that currently direction being pursued by ruling dispensation is putting the things in the reverse gear.
During last seventy odd years the way our institutions have developed we can see their massive all round contribution in most areas of science and technology, though one can add, things could have been better. The inkling of this retrograde direction began with the previous BJP led NDA Government when Murali Manohar Joshi, the then MHRD minister introduced courses like astrology and Paurohitya (rituals) in Universities. In continuation with this pattern Dr. Satya Pal Singh, who is currently minster in MHRD, recently stated that Darwin's theory is wrong as our ancestors did not mention that they saw ape turning into man in our scriptures. He was duly backed up by the RSS ideologue turned BJP leader Ram Madhav.
He himself a while ago he had stated that Wright brothers were not the first one's to discover aero plane, it was and Indian, Shivkar Bapuji Talpade who had discovered it. He emphasized that such books should be taught in the schools which highlight the likes of Talpade. Theory of evolution has been one of the turning point discoveries of science, based on the painfully collected evidence by Darwin for a period of decades. As science is not based on faith there is always a scope to fill the gaps of knowledge of the original discoverer, and that's how science develops. In contrast to the methods of science, the fundamentalists harp that all knowledge is already there in the Holy Scriptures, the word of almighty. Singh-Joshi-Ram Madhav clone is not the only ones' in this retrograde thinking. The Christian fundamentalists went on to counter the theory of Darwin by putting together 'Creation science' and similarly Islamic fundamentalists like Zakir Naik also dismiss this theory on frivolous grounds.
Singh's statement has been very disturbing for the scientific community in India. A large number of them expressed their anguish in a letter, which they sent to the Minister. The letter says that the minister's statement was simplistic and misleading. "There is plentiful and undeniable scientific evidence to the fact that humans and the other great apes and monkeys had a common ancestor." The letter further says that the minister's claim that the Vedas contain answers to all questions is exaggerated and "is an insult to the genuine research work on history of Indian scientific traditions".
"When a minister working for the human resource development in the country makes such claims, it harms the scientific community's efforts to propagate scientific thoughts and rationality through critical education and modern scientific research," reads the letter. "It also diminishes the image of the country at the global level and reduces faith of the international historical research community in the genuine research by the Indian researchers."
At another level there are claims that Kauravas were born through the techniques mentioned in our holy scripture based on which Balkrishan Ganpat Matapurkar has patented the technique for body part generation, inspired by Gandhari's giving birth to 100 sons and Karna taking birth from ear of Kunti. At equally interesting level is the understanding of the Chief of Indian Council of Historical Research, Y. Sudarshan. As per him reading of the Hindu epic Mahabharata can make us infer that the weapons described in them were the result of atomic fission and/or fusion. He also claims that stem cell research was there in Iron Age India.
It is not difficult to imagine that with this pattern of thinking among policy makers our science policy will get a strong jolt. Currently on most of issues the policy has been to encourage research and funding on topics, which are purely based on figments of imagination. Huge top level funding has recently been announced for Panchgavya, a mixture of cow urine, dung, ghee, curd and milk. The efforts to prove that Ram Setu (Adam's bridge), bridge between India and Srilanka was for real and was built by Lord Ram with the help of Monkey army; are also on. In matters of History efforts are on to prove the existence of River Sarswati, to prove historicity of the epics like Ramayana and Mahabharata are among the few of them.
The twin processes involved here are to claim that all the knowledge is already there in our scriptures and that science-technology research and development should be along those lines. Second is to claim that all discoveries have their roots here in India, more so in India before the coming of Christians and Muslims. This seems to be running in parallel with identifying India with Hindus and Hinduism alone. One does feel that already during last many decades good foundation of scientific enterprises has been laid, the question is whether this community of scientists and Indian society at large will be able to resist these impositions on the march of direction of our science? Will our next generations be able to benefit from the rational thinking and achievements of science in coming times?

Accelerate your maths
Teacher Overview
Designed by maths teachers, Doodle Maths adapts to meet you child's current ability and knowledge - just like a teacher would. It facilitates frequent practise and provides help and support to learners who are subscribed to the service.
Teacher Review
The Doodle Maths service is one with which many parents and teachers will be familiar and children will have used. The service has recently received a fresh update and, if you aren't already using it, you could be impressed by what it offers.
The app's mantra is "little and often". Children are prompted to complete a short selection of tasks each day. These cover various topics and, following a short assessment task, are chosen to keep your child's knowledge fresh and to address weaknesses.
Parents and teachers can both be linked with each child's account allowing them to monitor and influence the progression through the app's challenges. Either a downloadable app or a web-based service is used to do so. In these, you can allocate extra exercises to children that concentrate on a specific maths topic. This mixes the best of both worlds: the constant tailoring to the individual's ability made by the app and a teacher's professional knowledge.
The questions themselves are clear and well designed. The method of answering them is both natural and pleasingly variable too. Items are sorted into groups, pairs are matched, numbers keyed in and markers dragged into position. It is good to see this app is not just limited to multiple-choice questions - as so many others are.
Each question has some useful options for getting extra support. A hint gives a short prompt to help children to start off their thinking. A fuller explanation can also be brought up. In both cases, these are in written and spoken form so that a child's literacy ability need not hold back their numeracy progression. Two final options let children send a short message to their teachers and parents asking for help. These appear pre-populated with the exact question so that children do not risk explaining themselves poorly and thus receiving a less useful reply.
The use of synthesised speech in the app rather than a recorded narration has advantages and disadvantages. On the plus side, it reduces the amount of storage that the app would otherwise take up on each device. It is also more flexible meaning the app can provide more narrated questions, hints, and explanations.
On the downside, it has a slightly robotic quality, although much less so than many other implementations of speech synthesis. Finally, it can occasionally be somewhat too literal. The question "£5 - 63p - £_" is spoken as "five pounds minus sixty-three p = pound symbol". For some children this will be no more than an easily ignored quirk, for those looking for any distraction from the work at hand, this sort of thing can be an issue.
Doodle Maths feels like a very comprehensive service and one that is not going to add extra burdens to teachers. If anything, it should save time as it makes the setting of self-marking homework tasks easy. It also logs and provides the evidence that teachers need to demonstrate progress. There are indications that the available features are likely to grow as a 'times tables' option within the teachers' dashboard is currently marked as coming soon. A few simple games are also included at the moment.
A variety of subscription options are available to suit who is choosing to use the Doodle Maths service. A limited free option is available that gives a good overview of it. Premium accounts, paid monthly, yearly or even for a lifetime's access, open up the full potential of Doodle Maths. As the contents cover the primary school curriculum and key stage 3, you should think carefully about which option offers the best value to you. Doodle Maths can be accessed across all of the major platforms so you do not have to worry about matching your hardware to the service.
Doodle Maths is not an app that children will use for hours at a time and it is not designed to be. What it is, is an excellent way to keep maths knowledge secure in a way that is painless for children, parents, and teachers. You may finder cheaper maths apps, but they will not be of the high standard that Doodle Maths achieves.

Cate Giordano
After the fire is gone
September 15 – October 22, 2017
Opening Friday September 15, 6-9pm
Still from "After the fire is gone", 2017, digital video, 33 minutes – Image courtesy of the artist
Artist CV
Installation Views
I shoot films, make sculptures, and perform in various states of cross dress. My work conveys a grotesque Americana, one influenced by faded icons, soap-opera folklore, and daily banalities.
– Cate Giordano
Microscope is very pleased to present the first solo exhibition at the gallery by Cate Giordano, After the fire is gone, as the culmination of a three-year long project in moving image, sculpture and installation based on the life of Dolly Presley, a persona created and performed by the artist.
The exhibition is an installation centering around a just completed 33-minute single-channel video of the same title in which a New York City diner waitress – in a Dolly Parton wig and makeup and Elvis Presley mutton chops and jumpsuit who is prone to breaking into songs – finds herself in a love triangle, forced to choose between her insurance salesman husband Anton and her true love Clayton, a silent drifter who has suddenly resurfaced. The latter two are also performed by Giordano.
The video plays across more than a dozen vintage TV's each featuring a separate and looping scene from the work. Sets from the movie are reinstalled throughout the space, dense with detailed objects and sculptures – made from wood, plaster, wax, papier-mâché and other materials – that appear in or expand upon the scenes and other elements of the piece.
Through the use of narrative filmmaking tropes and low-fi aesthetics – the video was shot on VHS and MiniDV – Giordano draws attention to the artifice and limitations of the representations of love/desire offered by the media that inform our experiences and at times our life-changing decisions. The coarsely constructed sculptures of people, objects, and places heightens the sense of isolation that surrounds Dolly despite the familiar story line.
The artist says of the protagonist: "Like a true Southern Belle, she's trained herself to hide her feelings, singing her heart out only in her dreamscapes to songs such as Here You Come Again and Just Someone I Used to Know. […] Dolly Presley is trapped in the self-contained hell of Americana, unable to escape the constructs of her fabricated reality, and ultimately is victim to a circular narrative that she isn't aware she controls."
Cate Giordano works primarily in moving image, often playing multiple roles in her videos, and sculpture in the form of sets or characters made in a way that highlights their otherness and materiality. Her work has previously exhibited at Spring/Break Art Show, New York; James Farley Post Office, New York; Old School in collaboration with the New Museum, New York; and Parlour Bushwick, Brooklyn, NY among others. Solo screenings have been presented at Film Society at Massachusetts College of Art and Design, Boston, MA and Spectacle Theater, Brooklyn, NY. Group screenings include Flaherty Seminar at Anthology Film Archives, New York and Millennium Film Workshop, Brooklyn, NY among others. Her work has been discussed in Artforum, Artnet, ARTnews, ArtObserved, Hyperallergic, San Francisco Art Quarterly, and others. She received a BFA from Massachusetts College of Art in 2008 and was a Smack Mellon's Artist Studio Program recipient in 2016-17. Originally from Pensacola, FL, Cate Giordano lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
After the fire is gone opens on Friday September 15th, 6-9pm, and runs through October 22nd, 2017. Gallery hours: Thursday to Monday, 1-6pm.

With credit becoming harder to come by every day, weathering the economic storm with your current vehicles is a smart choice. However, if you do wish to replace some of your fleet, you can make it more economically viable by investing in more fuel efficient cars: lighter models, vehicles with smaller engine sizes, and hybrids. This will save you money over time in fuel costs and even help the environment!
Whether you decide to keep your current vehicles or replace them, remember that the most important thing is for your fleet to remain efficient and on the road, doing their job and making you money. For more information on keeping your fleet as efficient as possible, check out FleetCards USA's tips for improving fuel efficiency.

MIDDLEBURY, Vt. -- Senior Molly Brown scored 19 points and sophomore Allie Coppola added 16 points and 16 rebounds, but it wasn't enough for the win, as the Bates women's basketball team fell 65-56 in its New England Small College Athletic Conference opener Friday night at Pepin Gym, snapping a three-game winning streak.
Elizabeth Knox (21), Alexis Coolidge (16), and Sarah Kaufman (14) accounted for 79 percent of the Panthers' scoring in the game.
Bates (9-5, 0-1 NESCAC) will host Trinity next Friday at 7pm and Amherst next Saturday at 3pm. Middlebury (8-4, 1-0) returns to conference play on Sunday, hosting Tufts at 3pm.
After a jumper from Siobhan O'Sullivan at 15:51 gave Middlebury a 9-2 lead, the Bobcats rattled off four three-pointers, countered by a pair of Panther lay-ups, giving the visitors a 15-13 lead at 13:16 left in the first half. Bates junior Chelsea Nason (Boxford, Mass.) knocked the first of the long-balls down from the right wing and was fouled on the play. After Nason converted the rare four-point play, she nailed another three-pointer, tying the game at 9-9. Brown (South Dartmouth, Mass.) followed with two threes that bookended a Knox lay-up for the 15-13 lead.
Over the next nine minutes of play the Bobcats went ice-cold, hitting just 1-of-16 from the floor as Middlebury went on an 18-2 run. Coolidge netted six points and Kaufman added five, including a three-pointer off a Coolidge assist. Trailing 31-17, Bates sophomore Bernadette Connors (Windham, N.H.) hit a jumper at 4:16 before Kaufman gave the Panthers their largest lead of the game (34-19), sinking a three-pointer at 3:18.
Bates found its shooting touch to close out the half, going on a 9-0 run, highlighted by five points from senior Kristin Calvo (South Deerfield, Mass.), cutting the deficit to 34-27 with just over a minute to play. Coolidge and Brown exchanged baskets in the final minute of action, setting the halftime score at 36-29.
Bates opened the second half with a Coppola (Tarrytown, N.Y.) layup, narrowing the Panther lead to 36-31. The Panthers bumped their advantage to 47-37 at the 10:52 mark on a trey from Knox. Brown answered with a three of her own, before Kaufman and Knox hit back-to-back buckets for a 51-40 lead at 8:46.
Middlebury's lead hovered in the seven- to 12-point range for the remainder of the game. In the final minute, the Bobcats sent the Panthers to the charity stripe, where Middlebury hit 4-of-5 to maintain its lead.
Knox led all scorers with 21 points on 9-17 shooting, including 3-4 from behind the arc. Coolidge's 16 came on 6-12 from the floor, while Kaufman grabbed a career-best 14 rebounds to go with her 14 points. O'Sullivan added four assists and three steals to her six points and 11 rebounds.
Bates was paced by Brown's 19 points, highlighted by four 3-pointers, and seven rebounds. Coppola had her sixth double-double of the season, as well as four steals, while Nason finished with seven points and a game-best four blocks. Connors passed out a game-high five assists in addition to seven points and six boards.
