Apple and Samsung have 'communicated lately' about patent suit settlementsDespite late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs's vow to go "thermonuclear war" on devices running Google's Android operating system, Apple and Samsung have recently had discussions about potentially settling their ongoing legal disputes.
The apparent continued behind-the-scenes talks between Apple and Samsung were revealed in a new cover story in Bloomberg Businessweek entitled Apple's War on Android. The story gives a detailed recounting of how Apple became involved in patent litigation with a host of Android smartphone makers, including Samsung, Motorola and HTC.
Citing people familiar with the situation, the report reveals that top-level executives at both Samsung and Apple have allegedly "communicated lately about potential settlement options."
"Apple CEO Tim Cook does not seem to share his predecessor's passion about laying all foes to waste," author Paul M. Barrett wrote. "Cook appears to view litigation as a necessary evil, not a vehicle of cosmic revenge."
While Apple and Samsung are apparently talking, it's by no means an indication that the ongoing lawsuits among device makers will end anytime soon. Apple has accused Samsung and others of copying the look and feel of the iPhone and iPad, mimicking both their hardware and the iOS mobile operating system.
A map of Apple's legal assault on Android from Bloomberg Businessweek.
Apple recently revealed in a court filing that company officials met with Samsung four times in 2010 in an attempt to avoid patent litigation. Jobs himself was said to be part of those talks, but the issues were never resolved and Apple eventually filed suit against Samsung in April of 2011.
Jobs indicated before he died to biographer Walter Isaacson that he had no interest in licensing Apple's patented technology to Android manufacturers. Jobs said he believed Android was a "stolen product," and indicated he was "willing to go thermonuclear war" to stop it.

the mean is when you add up all of the numbers and divide the sum by how many numbers are given. 6+7+19+7+18+7= 64 there were 6 numbers given, so now we divide: 64/6= 10.66666667 which rounded out is 10.6, therefore, your answer is C :)

Product Description
Memorable episodes include "Teela's Quest," in which she discovers her real mother is The Sorceress; "A Friend in Need," a drugs allegory where an insecure (and very scantily-clad) woman becomes addicted to a potion that makes her confident; "Song of Celice," where a woman's powerful singing voice is exploited by Skeletor to conquer Greyskull; and "Prince Adam No More," in which Adam struggles with seeking approval from his father, King Randor. A new behind-the-scenes documentary reveals insight into the series's launch as the inaugural first-run syndicated cartoon; the creators's encounter with a fresh-off-Conan-the-Barbarian star Arnold Schwarzenegger at a convention ("He looked at our drawings and was ticked off," recalls creator Lou Scheimer). There's also a featurette in which producers and animators discuss individual episodes, animated storyboards, and scripts. Best of all, the spine of the DVD box (along with seven other He-Man and She-Ra related DVDs) creates a mural of Castle Greyskull and the Crystal Castle. --Ellen A. Kim

Ladies, you might want to get pinning…

lisa says: We got engaged in June 2013. I was on a hen weekend in Marbella and Paul decided to purchase the ring while I was away and proposed to me as soon as I returned home!
We set the date for 27th March 2015 as we wanted a spring wedding and plenty of time to plan! Matfen Hall was our chosen venue. It was the first place we looked at and following viewing numerous other venues, we always went back to Matfen. The east wing and basement, in particular, sold it to us!
We decided on a vintage/ art deco theme with a colour scheme of peaches, pastels and nudes. We worked around the colour of the bridesmaid dresses which were warm colours for the time of year that we were getting married.

We love the bravery of today's groom who popped the question to his now wife during a flight to the Dominican Republic. You'd have to be sure of a 'yes' wouldn't you? Otherwise you'd be in for a rather awkward flight and holiday!
Anyhoo, ring firmly on finger, Laura and Adam decided on a shabby chic wedding with pretty pastels and a cute afternoon tea.
Executed to perfection everything fits in perfectly with the theme and setting, from the beautiful bouquets to Laura's gorgeous mermaid style dress.

laura says: We got engaged on 8th April 2014, when we were on a flight to Dominican Republic. Adam asked the pilot to call me to the front of the plane, Adam then got down on one knee and proposed. All flight he was acting rather nervous and taking advantage of the free drinks – now it all makes sense, he was trying to calm his nerves. When I said yes, the whole plane cheered! It was such an amazing proposal.
Our wedding date was 12th September 2015. We always knew we wanted August or September for a lovely summer wedding and so when we found our perfect venue, the dates worked out well as it was the only available Saturday left.
We were married in Willington Hall in Tarporley, Cheshire. To be honest, it was Adam who found this hidden gem, much to my dismay! It was exactly what we were after, beautiful location, perfect intimate size and amazing staff. The views around for the photographs were perfect and it simply is a beautiful venue. After looking at so many 'corporate' venues, it was nice to find a place that remembered us by name, rather than a wedding date!

If you're craving some pretty on this Monday morning then you've come to the right place, as today we're sharing Hayley and Ross' gorgeous celebration, complete with pastel wedding colours and handpicked style blooms.
As well as the setting being stunning, so too are the bride and groom with Ross opting for a slightly unusual bottle green suit and Hayley wearing a slim-line vintage style gown with exquisite detailing.
Above all we love that the day is beautifully styled but has a very chilled out vibe to it too – well until the reception that is when it appears some rather competitive moves went down on the dancefloor!

hayley says: We had been together for eight years and were travelling around Australia and New Zealand visiting family and friends when we got engaged. Ross' mum lives in New Zealand and she planned a big trip for Ross, myself, her and her husband around the South Island. We stayed in lots of small out of the way places, one of which was called 'Barb's Bach' in the Marlborough Sounds (A bach is a holiday cottage). It was a fair drive from anywhere so really peaceful and remote. Ross and I were sleeping in a 'sleep out' which is essentially a spare bedroom down a walkway in the garden. Ross is not an early riser so I was getting suspicious of him getting up so early to make coffee in the mornings. Little did I know that these were failed attempts to get the ring from his mother's handbag where it was safely hidden! Eventually he got down on one knee next to the bed and proposed. It was a total shock, having been together for so long, I just did not see it coming!
Our wedding date was slap bang in the middle of the school summer holidays as I am a primary school teacher. I needed both time to sort things out and then time to go on a honeymoon before school started again.
Ross is from South Africa, I'm from Shropshire and we live in London, so no matter where we got married, people would have to travel from somewhere! In the end, we decided on Shropshire as it was the most affordable option for people having to travel. It is also one of the most beautiful, unspoilt places in the UK (although I may be a little biased!). Our venue was somewhere that I had often been to with my family for special occasion dinners although it took us ages to think of it as a wedding venue. We had been looking for places with accommodation and had no luck. During a family Sunday lunch we had a quick look around The Mytton and Mermaid Hotel and it was pretty perfect! Coincidentally my grandfather had booked my parents a room there on their wedding night but there was a mix up with the booking and they didn't stay. Thankfully my parents were able to get over it – 36 years later!

When planning their big day, today's couple initially decided on a 1940s theme inspired by their chosen transport – a vintage bus. However worried that she might get carried away with just one set theme, bride Jodi chose to keep the remainder of the wedding modern and simple with elegant pastel pops in the bridesmaids' dresses, décor and flowers.
The result is a pretty and up-to-date big day with just a touch of vintage.

jodi says: We got engaged on the 2nd August 2013. We had gone for a few days away in Grasmere, Cumbria. After a fantastic day boating on Lake Coniston we went back to the guest house to get changed and go into Grasmere for something nice to eat and a few drinks. On the way back from the restaurant was a wishing well, which we stopped at for a while. Jack told me to throw a penny in and make a wish, I did. He did the same, he asked me what id wished for and I told him I wished we could be this happy forever. I asked him what he wished for, he said he wished for his dream to come true, and for me to be his wife, as he pulled a beautiful diamond engagement ring out of his pocket. I didn't really quite understand what was going on until he actually asked me to marry him. It was the biggest shock of my life! I was so happy I cried for the rest of the holiday!
We decided to marry on the 1st August 2015 as we wanted two year's planning and saving time, a summer wedding and the nearest date to our engagement date.
We got married at St Peter and St Paul's Church in the village where we live. I have lived in Rishton all of my life, as have most of my family. My parents, grandparents and great grandparents married at the same church and ever since being a little girl I dreamed of walking down the aisle there.
We had the reception and evening celebrations at Astley Bank in Darwen, Lancashire. It's absolutely beautiful and the food is amazing! A friend of mine had had her wedding there in 2008 and from that day I loved it. I'm from quite a big family and didn't want a venue that a family wedding had been held at before, I also wanted somewhere not too close to home but a close enough distance for people to be able to travel to easily, so it was perfect. I took Jack to see it before we had even talked about it properly and on entering the grounds he pretty much made his mind up there and then that it was the place for us.
I thought I wanted a modern wedding until Jack came home from work saying someone he knew had hired a wedding bus. I'll be honest, I thought it sounded awful! However, I had a look online and saw a bus that we had seen before during a charity walk, I loved it so much! It was a navy and cream 1947 Leyland double decker. I loved the idea that it could take everyone from the church to the venue. I then started to plan a theme around the bus, especially as I love the style of the 40s, but as I did more research I decided I didn't want to be stuck to one particular style/era. I'm a little OCD with fine detail, if we had gone for a 40s theme literally everything would have had to have been 40s! So we decided that we would go for a modern wedding with a slight vintage twist, which is a good job as the bus I'd based my planning on was involved in an accident two days before the wedding!
We chose a colour scheme of pastel green with peach/coral and ivory. I wanted light, bright, fresh colours that I hadn't seen at other weddings. I had seven bridesmaids and two flower girls. Choosing the bridesmaids colour was the hardest decision of them all and I wanted to be clear about that before planning anything else. My maids couldn't be any different from each other with skin tone, hair colour etc. and although I knew I wanted a summery colour I needed something that suited all of them, it was a tough decision! And I'm not convinced they all loved it, but they looked incredible!
On the wedding day I wore the third wedding dress I had bought! The first was from eBay and was an absolute disaster! I hated it so much I cried when I unpacked it. The photos were beautiful but the real thing was such a disappointment!. The second I think I panic bought! The neckline was same as the bridesmaids' dresses so I think that's what made me get it. I loved it but then the more I looked at myself in it the more I realised that it really wasn't me! By this time Lindsey at Anne Whittakers Bridal Wear in Accrington had got to know me a little and agreed it wasn't right for me. I tried on what felt like a million other dresses but had kept looking at the gorgeous one on the model in the middle of the shop. I tried that on last. I loved it! So much so I nearly cried! It was a beautiful lace Ronald Joyce dress with a low button up back and gorgeous lace train. I'm not a girly girl at all! I don't do bling or sparkle but it had just the right amount of detail around the middle to make it a beautiful dress without being too much. Lindsey swapped the dress no problem, I really can't thank her enough! She and the seamstress Shareen were both amazing! My wedding makeup was done by Rebecca Brown and my hair stylist was Gemma Brown.
Jack wore a three piece grey suit from Amelia's menswear in Clitheroe. By the time it came to choosing the suits I'd become a wedding geek! I'd noticed that most of the suits I had looked at hadn't changed much over the last 20 years and I wanted something more traditional looking yet with a modern cut. Amelia's was definitely the best choice, I had seen a photo on their website and knew straight away that it was perfect. The ties were a lovely floral print silk and they had them in the exact green I had chosen for the bridesmaids for the ushers and groomsmen, a peach for my dad that matched the flowers, and ivory to match my dress for the groom. Jack chose to wear a tailcoat as he wanted to be a little different from the rest of the men. The staff at Amelia's need medals! They put up with the husbands fussing and flapping and his entourage of 11!
The bridesmaids wore pastel green dresses with frilled alter necks that flowed from under the bust to the floor. I chose dresses that would flatter all the different figure types they have, which was a good job as two became pregnant during the planning! I ordered the dresses to be made to measure from a company abroad. The groomsmen wore three piece suits from Amelia's with standard length jackets and ties in green to match the bridesmaids. Jack's twin boys wore the same but without the jackets, and their sleeves rolled up a little with Converse shoes to give a more casual look but still in keeping with the older men.
For the wedding transport we ended up having to have an alternative bus as the one I'd set my heart on had been damaged in an accident. Classic Buses sent us a vintage red double decker London bus after working hard to juggle their already full schedule. The driver was a lovely lady who made it even more special. We arrived at church on the bus and after the ceremony it brought our entire wedding party back to Astley Bank. Nobody had to worry about driving or parking or not being able to drink, it was definitely a great idea and everyone loved it!
We chose Paul Swift as our photographer, which was the easiest and quickest decision we made! I've known Paul and his wife Sarah since school days and have followed his photography blogs since he started out. Since the day we asked him he helped us to plan our big day and gave us so much advice and knowledge. Neither me nor jack are comfortable in front of the camera so he suggested a pre wedding shoot. This made such a massive difference to us! Paul made us very comfortable and we had such good fun and a real laugh. On the big day his presence was very calming, we both felt like we were in the best hands and he did so much more for us than just take photographs. Jack said he was really nervous when he arrived at church until Paul turned up and started organising everyone, we honestly can't recommend him highly enough. A true professional! He was very calm and patient and the 800+ photos he took are all beautiful and the perfect reminder of our wedding day.
Rachel at Garlands Florist made my hand tied bouquet using coral miss piggy roses, white hydrangea schneeball, thistles, veronica and rosemary, tied with ivory lace ribbon. Rachel incorporated a bangle into my bouquet which belonged to my mum who passed away in 2008 aged just 49. I wanted to carry something of hers with me on my big day, this also became my something old. She also made the most adorable little gypsophila head dresses for the flower girls, too cute!
Rachel then used glassware I had collected as top table decorations with fresh flowers in keeping with those of my bouquet. I've worked in science since 1999 so I wanted to use some scientific glassware to incorporate my love of chemistry into our day. Wedding Creations of Oswaldtwistle dressed the venue with seat covers with peach and lace sashes, huge candelabras with hanging pearls and diamantes. There were also little vintage bottles, pots with flowers and hessian and scatterings of pearls, peach roses petals and diamantes on the tables. Our table names were the dates of our parents and grandparents weddings and each had a photograph from their wedding day. The guests loved this personal touch! The top table had our wedding date and a photo from our pre wedding shoot. I made these myself along with the place name cards and seating plan in the same style as I'd made the invitations and orders of service.
Our favours were bath salts for the ladies and heart shaped mints for the men in corked test tubes tied with brown twine for a 'sciencey' vintage feel.
Our cake was made by my sister-in-law Charlotte as a wedding present – it looked and tasted amazing. We has three tiers of ivory iced chocolate and vanilla sponge and a clever clear Perspex tier filled with vintage buttons and pearls to match our theme. It was decorated with a row of threaded buttons and topped with the flowers I had used to make the bridesmaids bouquets. So simple and so beautiful.
The wedding breakfast was absolutely fantastic! We chose from the set menu and tried to pick food that would suit everyone. Everything was cooked to perfection and all the guests complimented it.
To provide entertainment, we had the DJ who was hired by the hotel as part of our wedding package and we also hired a photo booth from Style My Event. This went down a treat with all of the guests!
As a special touch at the reception we had a beautiful handmade guest book made for us by one of my roller derby team mates Johannes. He made a hinged drop top guest book with 'branch slices' cut from recycled wood for guests to write their messages on. The design of it means that it can stand freely like a book displaying our messages or hang on the wall like a picture. We currently have it standing on the sideboard but plan to hang it on the wall in the future.
Following our wedding we would certainly recommend Astley Bank to others. The venue is beautiful, the staff are brilliant (so warm and caring), the food was outstanding and the grounds are incredible. I can't fault a single thing, absolutely perfect!
Our favourite part of the day would have to be the church and ceremony, though we all loved it! The vicar Michael Woods and the vergers, especially Mrs Schaefer, were so caring and welcoming. The service was beautiful, flowers were gorgeous and everything went exactly to plan. My daughter Elisse did a reading by Dr Seuss, we had the church bells rung by a team of incredible bell ringers one of whom is a friend, another friend sings in the choir so she came along to provide some much needed tone! The street outside was lined with well-wishers. It was perfect, a real fairy tale wedding.
After the wedding we went on a Mediterranean cruise for our honeymoon. We started in Mallorca and visited places such as the south of France, Monaco, Italy, Corsica, Spain before returning to Mallorca. The highlight for us was travelling to Barcelona, such a beautiful city with so much culture, we will definitely be going back.
My top tip to other Brides Up North would be to plan, plan and plan some more! Research everything and be sure you know what you want! This is your big day!

Hazel and Adam stamped their personalities all over their unique & beautiful wedding under canvas, and that's just the way we like it here at Brides Up North.
What better way to start the week than a wedding involving lots of pretty touches, vintage finds, brilliant blooms and a first night spent sleeping in a chicken hat… oh, yes. Read on, read on…
With images by Brides Up North sponsor JB Creatives.
hazel says: We got engaged in a wine bar in London, the day before we went on holiday. My sister had just come back from a year in Canada, and as hard as Adam tried to get rid of her, we hadn't seen each other in ages, so in the end he had to tell her to go and wait in the toilets while he proposed!
We were married on October 4th 2014 – we wanted to get married while Adam's sister who lives in New Zealand was back in the country. We got married in St. Helen's church in Escrick, just outside of York. We absolutely loved the church, and it was close to where we held our reception. Helen at Escrick Park was absolutely fantastic, as were Papakata who provided the teepees. They both did such a great job of making our day so special, perfect and unique to us.
Our venue was a field – this meant that we could choose absolutely every detail ourselves and make our day exactly as we wanted. It meant some very long days in the run up, and I never expected my wedding to include a lesson in how to run a generator or heavy lifting of fridges, but it was 100% worth it!
We didn't want a strict style or colour scheme – just things that we liked. I guess you could say that we went for a vintage theme, but really we just picked the things that we thought looked nice! We deliberately avoided a strict colour scheme, and just went with pastels where colour was required.
I chose a lace wedding dress from an outlet in Northallerton. I didn't want to spend a fortune on a dress I knew would inevitably end up covered in grass and mud – which it did!
Adam wore suit trousers, a shirt and waistcoat from Next. He tried on a couple of suits but they looked too formal and we wanted a more relaxed style.
The groomsmen wore the same as Adam, but with different coloured ties, and I only had my sister as a bridesmaid. This made it much easier, and she just picked a dress that she liked!
We hired VW campervans to sleep in at the teepees, and ended up using one to transport me to the church too. They were from The Campervan Company in Thirsk.
Jane Beadnell from JB Creatives was our photographer, she was absolutely fantastic from start to finish and she takes brilliant photos. She did an amazing job and captured our day perfectly in a style that really suited the wedding itself. We had so many lovely comments from our guests about how hard she worked and the lovely photos.
My bouquet was made up predominantly of roses, hydrangea, and freesias. The flowers were provided by another friend – Sarah Richardson at Leafy Couture, she also did an amazing job, with our very limited knowledge of flowers and vague descriptions of what we liked!
The flowers for the reception were also provided by Leafy Couture – again lots of roses and freesias – in mini milk bottles on the tables. We also decorated with lots of home made bunting.
Adam was in charge of the favours – he had a boy's night in and made them all! Everyone had a big bag of marshmallows to toast on the open fires, and a jar of hot chocolate to take home and help them through the morning after!
We had an afternoon tea, so rather than more cake we had wheels of cheese provided by Love Cheese in York. We are both big cheese fans, and we served it up after the afternoon tea with a glass of port (or 3!) – so it was great to see the guests tucking into it.
Katie & Maz at The Flax & Twine in York provided our catering – they were amazing, providing solutions to Adam's crazy ideas and stopping him when they got out of control – he desperately wanted to make and serve crepes to all 130 guests personally!! In the end we settled for afternoon tea, followed by the cheese from our "cake" then later in the evening we had a hogroast provided by The Hog & Apple in York, and finally a waffle station – dreamt up by Adam and spectacularly brought to life by Katie & Maz from their vintage caravan… amazing! We provided all of the drinks, the wine was Cono Sur Bicicleta because Adam works in a bike shop and all of the bottles had a bicycle on them, and then we put on four beers – two from North Wales where my dad's family is from, and two from the local York Brewery!
We tried to have lots of special touches – we painstakingly collected all of the crockery for the afternoon tea, and it included a set my granny was given as a wedding present over 60 years ago! We made lots of things too, all of the bunting, the bar, the photo booth, the coconut shy, the table plan was made of ladders covered in things that were important to us both, and the typewriter we used to write the invitations and sewing machine that made all of the bunting made an appearance too!
In the evening we had a ceilidh provided by the Dark Horse Ceilidh Band from Harrogate – they were great fun, then we hooked up the ipod for the rest of the evening.
The whole day was amazing, but the end was our favourite. We waved off our last guests on to a coach at 1am, and then had the teepee all to ourselves to reflect on the day. We were meant to sleep in the campervan, but Adam forgot to bring the duvet and the keys went home with a guest. By this point, it was pretty cold in the teepees, so I slept in my wedding dress, Adam slept in his suit, and then we raided the fancy dress box from our photo booth for extra warmth. I'm pretty sure there are no other brides that can claim to have spent their wedding night in their dress, an army camouflage jacket and a chicken hat!
Straight after the wedding we spent a week in the Dales in the camper van we had hired – mostly catching up on sleep and recovering from doing so much in the run up to the wedding. We then had 2 weeks in South Africa in January which was absolutely fantastic – the highlight of which was a 2 night stay in a tree house.
My top tip for other Brides Up North would be don't leave too much to the last minute! The night before the wedding I was up late refining the ipod playlist, and Adam arrived at the church with the decorations after the guests did! Ooops!

Today's wedding couple encountered every bride and groom's worst nightmare when their chosen reception venue went into administration just months before their big day.
Keeping their cool Rachel and Ian found an alternative venue in The White Heart at Lydgate. Though they had to switch their date from early April to Valentine's weekend, the determined duo decided to stick with their pretty pastel springtime colour palette and were pleased to say it worked seamlessly. Add in some cute vintage touches and fabulous florals and you've got one very sweet big day!

rachel says: We got engaged whilst on a relaxing weekend away at the seaside in Bridlington in July 2013. We went for a walk to the beach at Flamborough Head where Ian had planned to propose. However when we arrived it was rather busy and a young family and then a man with a metal detector spoilt the moment for Ian so he chickened out! We later went for a walk along the cliff tops and whilst sat on a bench overlooking the sea Ian got down on one knee!
We should have been getting married on the 4th April 2015 but after the wedding reception went into administration we were left to find a new venue just before Christmas! The White Hart Inn at Lydgate came to our rescue and we got married on the 15th February 2015 – it was to be a valentine's wedding weekend!
We got married at St Paul's Methodist Church in Shaw, which is the church I have attended along with my family all my life. It was really important to me to get married there because it's a place where I have grown up! Ian doesn't go to church so it took me a few years to persuade him! Our reception at the White Hart was absolutely perfect and we couldn't recommend this venue enough. It is surrounded by picturesque landscape and amazing scenery.
Having got engaged at the seaside in Bridlington, we came across a shop called Behind the Times (one of our favourite shops) which recycles materials to produce vintage products which soon became our theme. We purchased our save the dates and wedding invitations along with lots of other bits from there.
After deciding on a spring wedding we went for a neutral colour scheme with a variety of pastel shades.
My dress was from a bridal shop called Amelia's Bridal Boutique in Clitheroe. We visit Clitheroe quite a lot and my Mum always said that when my sister or I got engaged we would go there to look for dresses. So that's where I went. My dress was the very first one I tried on, and I just knew it was the one. The dress had a high lace neck and a stunning low V back which led into buttoned detailing down to the satin train. It also had a beautiful detailed waist band and pockets, which was a real quirky selling point for me!
Ian wore a slim fit navy blue suit with matching waist coast and tie with a fresh white shirt. The suits were from Next. His shoes were black brogues, also from Next.
I looked for months at bridesmaid dresses and couldn't make my mind up! In the end my sister, who was my maid of honour, ordered them online and surprised me one night with all my bridesmaids wearing them! The dresses were a simple, long, high-necked, maxi dress from BHS in a champagne colour. The dresses had a lovely detailed waist band which tied into my waist band. The groomsmen meanwhile all wore matching suits, shirts and tie to the groom.
We travelled in my Grandfather's vintage Mercedes. My Grandad was thrilled when we asked him if we could use his car and if he would be our chauffeur for the day. Him and my Grandma went all out and dressed the car in bows and put flowers on the parcel self – they loved it! It was perfect!
Our photographer was Katie Sidell. She is absolutely brilliant and we can't recommend her enough! Her pictures are so beautiful and natural. She managed to capture every precious moment of our special day from start to finish. The best part about Katie is that you don't really notice she is there!! It was exciting to see the photographs as there were so many pictures that we hadn't realised she had taken on the day. Aside from the photographs she is a really lovely person who made me, and particularly Ian, feel at ease with the camera and we do hope she will be free for a christening one day!
I carried a mixed bouquet of roses, carnations, lisianthus and gypsy, all in pale colours. The bridesmaids had something similar but on a smaller scale. The flowers where from a family friend called Nina Forbes, she is brilliant and knew exactly what I wanted!
Nina made the flower arrangements for the reception which stood on the top of some tall vases. The vases were then situated on round mirror plates that were dressed with chrome tea-light candle holders. We also dressed the room using four big flower arrangements from the church. Some of the ladies at church, including my two Grandma's, made these arrangements up the day before and they were beautiful!
I have a very sweet tooth so as favours we filled jam-jars full of our favourite sweets! We then dressed the top of the jars in some vintage flower material and tied brown luggage labels around them with the guest's name on. These then doubled up as place names.
A family friend Elaine Day made our cake. We had one layer Victoria sponge, another chocolate and another lemon drizzle. It was gorgeous.
For entertainment we used the resident DJ at the White Hart who was brilliant. He played a range of music had had everyone on the dance floor all night! Later he was on his way to a local club with four of the guests in a taxi at closing time!
We asked our guests to give us their favourite three songs to be played on our wedding day. We then used these songs to create a playlist for the wedding breakfast and a playlist for the DJ at night. This added a special touch to the day and night as people's choices were played throughout the wedding letting them enjoy their favourite songs while we were enjoying our special day. In the evening it was also fun to name and shame some of the guests who had put some embarrassing choices on their top three – the DJ made sure they were pointed out and brought on the dance floor to our amusement!
The White Hart Inn is amazing and we would definitely recommend the venue to others! The service we received in the build up to the wedding and on the day was brilliant. It was like they couldn't do enough for us! They were in regular contact and had even thought of things we hadn't to make our day run smoothly. Having an attentive manager on hand at all times throughout the day was reassuring to us both that if there were any issues they were sorted out straight away. Both of us have and will continue to praise the venue, location, food and the experience we had to all our friend and people we know.
Our whole day was perfect from start to finish. We wish we could do it all over again! Ian particularly enjoyed seeing his best men (his uncle and his youngest brother) stand up for their speeches. Both were so nervous before the day (a few gin and tonics were drank before the speeches) but they both stood up and spoke in front of around 130 people. They did an amazing job with funny and embarrassing stories but Ian couldn't have been more proud.
For our honeymoon we spent a week in Paris straight after the wedding and it was perfect. It was so romantic! We visited all the sites and spent our nights in swanky restaurants and bars. It was just a shame we had to come home as the reality hit that it was all over and we had to go back to work!
My top tips for other Brides Up North is to not stress about the planning and organising before the wedding. No matter what happens it will be absolutely perfect! Also, let your guests come to you! Don't stand at the door welcoming guests and then saying goodbye to guests. It's your special day and your guests will know to find you on the dance floor!

Skill Level Beginner
Sometimes the range of light in a scene is so wide that your camera can't capture it all. One example is the when you are shooting at night and your camera has trouble registering bright lights, like these in the background, and dim lighting on a subject's face. One solution to that problem is to take two or more shots of the same pose without flash like this and with flash like this. Or if you are shooting a contrasty scene in the daytime, take multiple shots of the same scene at different exposures in your camera.
Once you have got more than one photo of the same scene, you can use the Photomerge Exposure feature in Element's Guided Edit workspace to blend the multiple photos together into one well lit image and that's what I am going to show you how to do in this movie. Here in Bridge, I am going to select these two photos by clicking on one holding the Command key and clicking on the other and then I am going to open them into Elements by double-clicking either one and both photos are now open down here in the Project Bin in the default Full Edit workspace.
I am going to switch them over to the Guided Edit workspace by clicking this arrow on the right of the orange tab and I am going to choose Edit Guided. Here in the Guided Edit workspace I am going to scroll down the Photomerge category in the panel on the right and I am going to choose Exposure. Now both of these photos are open here in the Guided Edit workspace and you can see that, because they are both represented by thumbnails down here in the Project Bin. In the right are instructions about the Photomerge Exposure feature along with some controls for performing the technique.
There are two Photomerge Exposure workflows, one Automatic and one Manual. The Manual one is selected by default here so I will show you that one first. The first step is to decide which photo you want to use for the foreground elements and I like the one that Elements chose for me which is the flash image of the model and then I need to select an image for the background. Well, I only have one other so I am going to use that one. To set an image as the background image I will click and hold on its thumbnail in the Project Bin and drag up to the background area and release my mouse.
Next, I am going to identify which parts of the foreground image I want to blend into the background image. To identify those portions of the foreground image I am going to use the Selection tool from over here in the Manual tab of Photomerge Exposure. So I will make sure that that tool is selected. It's a little hard to see that its icon is darker that means that this tool is the selected one. And then I'll come into the foreground image and I am just going to scribble over the parts of the foreground image that I want Elements to include in the background image, and keep your eye on the background image as I release my mouse.
In just a second the portions of the foreground image that I just scribbled over are over here in the background image. To get a better sense of exactly what was brought in, I will go back over to the instructions on the right and I am going to check Show Regions. The non-yellow parts of the background image are the parts that were brought in from the foreground image. You can see that I have brought in more than I need to around the model's head and that's causing the edge of the model to be a little jagged against the background. I can fine-tune this result by using the Eraser tool from here in the Photomerge Exposure instructions.
So I will click on the Eraser tool icon and then I will go back to the foreground image and I am going to erase some of the scribbles that went over the edge there and there and right away you can see the result over here in the background image. And if I needed to, I could go back and forth between the Selection tool and the Eraser tool as many times as I like, fine-tuning what I am bringing in from one image to the other. But I am going to leave it as is for now. I am also going to uncheck Show Regions, so I can see the result more clearly. One thing I can see is that the edge of the girl's sweater is a little bit jaggedy.
So I am going to go over to the instructions and I am going to check Edge Blending and as the tooltip says, this will smooth the blended edges of the foreground and background elements. I can do further fine-tuning of the blend by using this Transparency slider. As I move this slider to the right, I am bringing in more of the background image and fading out the foreground image and as I go back over to the left, I am using more of the foreground image. And has a move that slider I can see an automatic preview of the result here in the background document.
I am going to scroll down on the right so you can see that there are also some Advanced Options here. If yours aren't showing, you can click the arrow to the left of Advanced Option. To get a good blend between photos you want the content of the photos to be aligned. In this case the photos align themselves pretty well one to the other, but if you ever have problems lining up photos that you are using with this technique, you can set markers on the photos using this Alignment tool and following the instructions here to try to align the photos to one another so that they blend better.
Now when I am all done in the Manual section of Photomerge, notice there is also a Reset button down here. If I wanted to start all over, I could click Reset and that would take me back to the original foreground and background images. On the other hand if I like the result that I have, I can click Done. But I am not going to do that right now because I want to show you the other workflow, the Automatic workflow in Photomerge Exposure. So I am going to move to the scrollbar and scroll up to the top of the instructions and I am going to click on the Automatic tab.
As soon as I click the Automatic tab with both of the thumbnail selected down here in the Project Bin, Elements attempts to blend them together into a final image and that's really all I have to do with the Automatic method. Except if I want to, I can fine-tune the result. Notice that there are two radio buttons here, Simple Blending and Smart Blending. By default, Smart Blending is selected and when it is, I get a chance to adjust the Highlight Details and the Shadows separately. So for example, if I take this Shadow slider and I drag slightly to the left, I have darkened shadows.
And if I drag the Highlight slider slightly to the right, I will darken the highlights and that causes the model to look a little less over flashed. Then there is also a Saturation slider. Saturation refers to the intensity of color particularly in the mid-tones. If I drag the Saturation slider to the left, I will desaturate. If I drag to the right, I will saturate the color. I think I need to be somewhere in between there. Now for some reason I didn't want to have these options, I wanted everything to be done completely automatically I could choose the Simple Blending radio button instead, but in this case it really doesn't give me as good a result as I can get with Smart Blending.
So I am going to go back to Smart Blending. I like this result so I am going to go down to the Done button and click there. And now Elements has created a blended image for me. I can see there is now a third thumbnail down here in the Project Bin representing that blended image. At this point I would click the Close button and I would save the blended image. So the next time you are in a situation with a wide range of light, try shooting multiple exposures with different lighting and then blending them together using Photomerge Exposure here in a Guided Edit workspace.


text: Not exactly a beta, but I tried the 2004-08-10 nightly just now. And stumbled over something I allways notice with software that want's to serve HTML pages with UTF-8 charset. The pages include a meta tag telling about the charset - but the server still sends out the default charset in the HTTP headers in requests. Many browsers regard - correctly - the HTTP header higher than the meta tag. It would be a very good idea to add header(...) calls to the wp-blog-header and admin-header in WordPress so that all pages are served with the correct HTTP header. Sure, people could change that in the Apache configuration, but usually this isn't done. Setting it explicitely in the pages is much better - and you actually try to do that already with the meta tags.

This was actually a repurchase of mine I had it over a year ago and remembered really loving it after a string of using bad concealers I came back to this one it's not what I remember at all first of all the packaging was something I hated the first time I bought this. The sponge applicator is unsanitary and I find the concealer is stuck at sides of the sponge at the bottom it doesn't come out from the top meaning I have to bend this to get product out. Secondly this is a fine colour on first application but in true Maybelline fashion it oxidizes so badly, maybelline really need to work on their shade range everything they seem to put out is orange and oxidizes even more orange throughout the day.

Bought this after hearing great things and was pretty "eh" about it. I didn't think it was that great, kind of sticky feeling, all the shades were wrong for me and I hated the sponge. Don't get me wrong I thought the sponge was a good idea to help smooth it out while applying but all it did was catch the makeup and block it. It was gross and a waste of money for me.

I am in love with this foundation! It is so velveteen and it is a nice blend of liquid and slight cream, or a creamy light liquid. The color is nice for evening out pink undertones. I do not really feel that I have to even use a concealer, but for dates, or special occasions I do use my bare minerals concealer, and it is a dry mineral product and it goes on well. I should note that I do use a moisturizing serum and smashbox primer underneath.
There is a medium sized spongetip at the top of the bottle. You have to turn the top a few times, not a lot!!!!! And it dispenses the foundation all around the sponge tip. Do not make the mistake of thinking it didn't dispense enough. You'll be surprised how much foundation comes out!
I use a bare minerals foundation brush to spread the foundation evenly over my face and down slightly into my neck.
The sponge tip is not for spreading the product on your face. It is however used to dab each area of your gorgeous pallet for even coverage.
This is a great foundation also for 30+ladies! It is dewy and does not settle into lines.
Stay beautiful!

I'm on the fence about this product. I bought it after reading/watching many reviews in the hopes of covering the dark circles under my eyes. It does a decent job of covering and brightening the under eye area but I'm not sold on the formula just yet. It's not as creamy as I thought it would be. I'm also not sure if I'm concerned about the sponge tip applicator. I certainly don't like the idea of product sitting in there as a possible breeding ground for bacteria, but how is this any different than sitting in the doe tip applicator that is rammed back into the product until the next use? Or the product sitting in the brush tip of other all-in-one applicator/concealer products? I think the only way you avoid this is to buy concealer in a pot or tube and apply it with clean fingers or a clean brush every time. I purchased the color 160 which is the neutralizer and I feel it is a good match for my skin tone. It is a little brighter than my foundation but not enough to give flashback, it provides a brightening effect in addition to covering the dark circles and does not settle in pores or fine lines. I also find that it does not feel thick or tacky and has tremendous staying power. It applies quite easily and there are many good qualities about this concealer so I'm not sure why I can't figure out what is keeping me from committing to this long-term just yet. So, the search will continue but until I find something better I will happily keep this part of my routine.

I tried this on a whim--I'm a big fan of the concealer and figured that the foundation might work. I was very pleasantly surprised. The shade Nude was a near-perfect match for my light olive skin tone. The applicator is supposed to mimic an eraser, but if you try to use it like an eraser, you'll apply way too much product. Best way to apply this foundation is to make a few swipes or dabs, then use your blending tool of choice to blend it out. The coverage is sheer to medium. It doesn't settle in fine lines and feels very light on. It's got pretty good wear time too, lasting 8 hours and still looking pretty decent. No breakouts from wearing it.
It does have some SPF, but not enough that you can give up using your sunscreen underneath. Also, I had to blot shine a couple of times and I have normal to dry skin, so if your skin is oily, you may want to use a heavy-duty primer and/or setting powder to help control the oil.

This is one of my favourite products! I bought it for $16 AUD. Dark circles are a part of me and this product brightens up my dark circle area really well. I have it in the shade 'light pale' and it's one shade lighter than my skintone so I can use it like a highlighting concealer. I use this product also to highlight so I use it under my brows to brighten my brow bone, conceal and to define the shape of my eyebrow after filling my brows in. It is a miracle worker! However I find the product to run out a little fast but other than that it is all good.Definitely will repurchase :)

I bought this foundation on a whim and I've been pleasantly surprised by how much I like it. I've been using the same line's under eye concealer for quite some time and I was looking for a new foundation so I picked this one up. I'm almost 29, so I don't have terribly aging skin, however I've been noticing that it just doesn't look quite as radiant as it used to. I have truly combination skin, some days leaning heavily in either the super oily or super dry direction, some days simply having a little excess oil in my t-zone. Either way this has caused me to usually stay away from the "dewy" look because it usually ended up just being oily. This makeup gives me the perfect dewy look without looking oily at all! My skin looks noticeably more fresh and radiant. (Full disclosure: I also recently started using a new skincare line that I am LOVING, but I definitely need to give this foundation its due credit!) My skin looks great! I do still blot my face once or twice throughout the day, but that's probably more out of habit than anything. I know some people don't like the sponge applicator because of sanitary reasons, but I always wash my face right before applying my makeup so I don't feel like it gets all that dirty. To be honest, it's super convenient having the applicator built in. I use a buffing brush to smooth the foundation in after applying it with the sponge, then set it with a finishing powder. This is probably my favorite foundation I've ever used to be honest.

I've been a Lancôme Effacernes use for YEARS and although it does the trick, I had heard such great things about this concealer. So I decided to give it a shot. It covers just as well as Lancôme's and was less than $5 with sales/specials at Ulta. The coverage is amazing and when I first apply it in the morning it doesn't settle into my fine lines. Yes, at the end of the day you can see my crow's feet, but I expect that. If you know of a concealer that doesn't do this, plmk! :) I really like the convenience of the packaging. I don't need a separate brush to apply and I can control how much comes out. I love to use the concealer for highlighting as well.

I lost count how many of these I've gone through so I guess u can say I like it. I don't have major under eye circles but it covers them and acts as a highlight. I go back and forth between light and neutralizer (I have light skin with a yellow undertone), the light is more pink and the neutralizer is more yellow. Sometimes its nice to switch it up. Dirt cheap. and works great! Packaging? I really don't mind the sponge applicator, its pretty convenient...by the time I'm grossed out by how dirty it got, I'm at the end of the tube and ready for the next so for me its not a problem!

Amazing. I workout five days a week and have not had it drip off under my eyes or made blemishes worsening. I buy one tube per month which can't be as horrible if you're makeup maintenance is low if you're going for less is more. I am Latina and have yellow under tones and overall sensitive skin. I am not into name brands as long it works I will keep using it. Using it for last 4 year's.

Three years after 'scathing' report, latest look says Dallas ISD's HR problems on the mend
Back in January 2012 the Dallas Independent School District was presented with a damning look at its human resources department courtesy the so-called Star Employee Commission, which consisted of local CEOs and educators. Long story short, said the report, the district's Human Capital Management department was a dysfunctional, ineffectual mess. "The report was scathing," says trustee Mike Morath. "There's no other way around it."
And from the outside, at least, there was little reason to believe things had changed during the intervening years, given the turnover (three leaders in three years) and perceived turmoil in Human Capital Management. But according to a new 23-page update recently given to the trustees, there's been much improvement in Human Capital Management.
"The Dallas ISD Board of Trustees and Superintendent have made the investments and provided the support necessary for the transformation of the human resource department in the DISD," says the report, which was prepared by the Austin-based Texas Association of School Boards (or TASB). "The TASB review team was highly impressed by what has been accomplished in a span of three years. … The new HCM department has transformed from a paper-pushing operation focused on compliance into a highly automated operation with a skilled team focused on talent development and management."
The report is far from declaring mission accomplished, and contains numerous "Opportunities for Continued Improvement." For starters, it says, there's still little communication between the administration and teachers, and more training and a better departmental structure is needed.
And, most glaringly: The department is doing a better job of pre-screening candidates, but "not all candidates complete the prescreening process." In fact, says the report, "About one-third of new hires were fast-tracked through the process to secure qualified shortage area candidates quickly. The hiring process needs to be nimble and flexible for highly competitive shortage areas but further review of those candidates for quality control is recommended." Continue reading
