|Motivation behind DxOMark Score | DxOMark Score design
We considered the following requirements when designing DxOMark Score:
DxOMark Score can be interpreted as the maximum print size of the average quality. Obviously, any photo can be printed at any size, but beyond a certain point, a larger print does not reveal any additional details to an observer at close distance.
A DxOMark Score of 10 is high enough for an excellent 30x20cm print. When doubling each dimension (hence multiplying the print surface by four), the DxOMark Score should ideally be multiplied by four also. Typical correspondences are indicated in the table below.
DxOMark Score
Optimal print size
Another element of DxOMark Score — part of its uniqueness as an image quality evaluation ranking system — is that we built it with the consideration that some camera flaws can be partially or completely corrected by digital processing (embedded in the camera, or performed on PC/MAC afterwards).
While the Sensor Overall Score describes the results of measurements only on sensors and is essentially related to image noise (for example, a difference of one f-stop offsets the Overall Sensor Score by approximately 15 points), the DxOMark Score is both proportional to resolution (taking optical aberrations into account) and to sensor dynamic range.
The purpose of a camera is to capture light reflected (or emitted) by the scene. More precisely, a camera capture the spatial organization of the scene, the amount of light at each point, as well as the colorimetric properties of this light. The greater a digital camera's information capacity, the better its RAW output. DxOMark Score provides photographers with a powerful tool to evaluate this fundamentally important aspect of digital camera image quality performance.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
To rank and compare photographic equipment, DxOMark provides three types of image quality scores for lenses mounted on a camera: the DxOMark Score, five Metric Scores, and five Use Case Scores:

Szolnoki Olaj wiped out a seven-point deficit in the final two minutes of regulation and then dominated overtime to beat BCM Gravelines 75-71 in their EuroChallenge Group J opener.
It was a thrilling finish to a contest that stayed tight throughout with nine lead changes.
Gravelines were looking good for the win as they saved their largest advantage until two minutes from time, with Kennedy Winston's three-pointer making it 63-56.
But Szolnoki replied with back-to-back threes from Marton Bader and Sead Sehovic to cut the gap to one.
Yannick Bokolo's lay-up stemmed the tide for Gravelines, but Sehovic hit another three to tie it and Ludovic Vaty and Winston missed potential game winners in the final 12 seconds.
Once the game had gone to the extra period, Szolnoki turned up the head, and threes from Akos Horvath and Ernests Kalve helped them take a 75-69 lead with 31 seconds left, too much for Gravelines to handle.
Bader led the victors with 20 points and 12 rebounds, while Horvath had 16 points, Kalve 11 and Rashad Bell 10.
Vaty led Gravelines with 21 points, while Juan Edwards had 10 with seven boards.

Gravelines head coach Christian Monschau:"It was a good game, congratulations for Szolnok. I could use all my players. Leading by seven points, we thought we had won the game and after that we made mistakes. Anyway, it was a good game and we played good defense."
Gravelines player Dwight Buycks: "Szolnok played well. The atmosphere was fine. We knew they play zone as defense but we missed a lot of free shots."
Szolnok head coach Neno Asceric:"It was a hard fight for 45 minutes. I'm happy because we won this game and my team played well and deserved to win the game. I hope this win will help us to keep focused in the future."
Szolnok player Istvan Nemeth:"We chose a good tactic and played good defense. We deserved this win because we wanted it more than the other team."

Piragis features high-end practical outdoor clothes and gear, along with regionally made gifts. The store is large and broken into several sections. Up front, there are plenty of socks, hats, gloves and other basics, plus clothing areas for both men and women. In the back half of the store, the focus is on gear -- high-end sleeping bags, tents, canoes and cooking gear. Keep looking, and you'll find a space filled with regional pottery and other local artistic items. Upstairs is an independent book store with comfy rocking chairs for kicking back and relaxing. The store is well laid out and clean. Exposed timbers and wooden siding provide that North Woods rustic feel you'd expect at an outfitter in Ely. Piragis is known in the area for premiere trail guides as well. Flipping through their catalog, you'll see they offer a number of different wilderness experiences in the Boundary Waters and elsewhere. The trips are expensive, but you get what you pay for.

I accept that I'm probably in the minority here, as a lot of you seem to be banging on about how great Belle is, but I personally dislike it! In fact, I would go as far as saying I HATE Symbian Belle, after coming from Symbian Anna!
First of all, I'd like to point out that I do appreciate the good points of Belle. I like the fact that they finally sorted out a few issues which plagued earlier Symbian^3 versions. However, some of the major issues seem to have been left unchecked, whilst I feel other aspects have been changed unnecessarily.
After 15 months of owning a Nokia N8, I kind of expected all of the bugs to have been worked out by now, but it seems that 15 months later we are still complaining about many of the issues which we complained about on day one!
I could also live with some of the minor annoyances I have found with Belle, but some are just so frustrating that I often wonder why the hell they decided to change it, especially when it didn't need to be changed in the first place! The clock and the music player homescreen widget are two such features I feel didn't need to be altered, yet they did so anyway just for the sake of it...
After just 24 hours of updating to Belle, I've decided that if I can't find a way back to Anna (I hear that a Nokia service centre can perform the downgrade), then I'm getting rid of my N8. As much as I love my N8 to bits, I cannot live with it with an interface that I am unhappy with, especially when Anna felt like second nature to me! My beloved handset has been altered, and this is no longer the phone I sent the last 15 months using
Here's what I like about Belle:
* Extra homescreens - For me, three was always plenty, but I can see why other people would prefer to have more. However, it would be nice to have three as the default, rather than four, as I am left with an unused screen which is unnecessary for my use
* The ability to rearrange homescreen widgets more freely - I like this feature, and it's something I initially thought was going to be a feature of Symbian^3 when the N8 was first released. Being able to finally place shortcuts anywhere on the screen is very useful, and more intuitive than having to have rows of four
* The dropdown menu - This is a nice touch, and puts all of the most important on / off features in one place (such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth etc). However, I wish that this was a one-touch operation, rather than a touch & flick gesture
* Speed - General transitions and navigation are so much more faster now! As it should have been to begin with...
Anything else which I like (like the faster browser and vertical QWERTY keyboard) are throwbacks from Anna, so I won't mention them here as they don't relate directly to Belle
Here's a list of the things I dislike about Belle:
* Redesigned homescreen widgets - Was there really any need to redesign the primary homescreen widgets, such as the clock / calendar / profile menu group, and music player? On Anna, these were nice neat little widgets which occupied two rows between them - Now the music player widget takes up half the screen, and the clock / calendar / profile group has been disbanded into separate widgets which all take up extra space! Why was this necessary?
* Redesigned digital clock - I don't like the new-look digital clock on the homescreen, and I especially don't like the new screensaver digital clock! At least give us a choice of Anna / Belle designs, so we can choose which one we prefer! I much prefer the original screensaver clock design, and I would rather have the original clock / calendar / profile menu group back in place of separate widgets for each!
* The new text messaging interface - More specifically, the text messaging menu. For some reason, Nokia have assumed that everybody texts using the Conversations feature, and has relegated everything else to a secondary menu option to show the various text message folders. To me this is a big no-no! I like to be organised, but I don't want to keep having to switch to folder view whenever I want to manage my texts, especially when this used to be the default view when I hit the text messaging button!
* New navigation icons and icon locations - Using Belle has become a cryptic guessing game! Navigation icons seem to have been moved around, and the icons changed. More time is spent deciphering what the icons are and what they do, rather than being quick and easy. For a Symbian newcomer, I'm sure they'll pick it up easily, but for a Symbian veteran coming from Symbian^3 / Anna to Belle, they just cause confusion! I'm scared to touch a new icon in case it does something undesired!
* Lack of default application folders - I know, I know, there's the ability to create folders, but who the hell decided that removing default application folders was a good idea in the first place? All of my nicely organised applications have been scattered into one main group! Again, for what logistical reason?
* Headphones no longer work - Like many people, I prefer to use my own choice of headphones, rather than those basic ones that come bundled with the N8. However, after updating to Belle, I find that my headphones no longer work! The sound is not diverted to the 3.5mm jack, and music just plays through the device speaker rather than the headphones which are plugged in. I tried them out on other devices, and they work fine, and they worked fine before I updated to Belle, so this is obviousy an issue which needs to be addressed
* Homescreen wallpaper pictures obscured by navigation bar - Previously, the pictures I use as my homescreen wallpapers fit nicely between the navigation bar along the bottom, and the info bar along the top. With Belle this is no longer the case, where the picture is extended, and these two bars obscure the image below (the navigation bar happens to be semi-transparent, but that's beside the point)
* Application screen button right above the physical button - I honestly don't see the point in having a button in the bottom left corner which does the exact same thing as the physical button on the N8 which is situated directly below it.
* Profile ordering - On previous Symbian handsets, and also previously with Symbian^3 / Anna, it was possible to order your profiles however you wanted. There was also more than four default profiles. However, with Belle it seems that if you rename any of those first four, they retain their position, regardless of alphabetisation. For example, if you created a fifth profile called "Silent (Office)", it would appear in fifth place, rather than directly beneath "Silent" as you would expect
* Renaming the default "Silent" profile conflicts with the dropdown menu function - If you rename the default "Silent" profile to something else (Ie, "Loud"), and also change the profile settings (such as turning the volume right up), then this renders the silence feature in the dropdown menu redundant! You can still select the "Silent" function from the dropdown menu, but it will activate / deactivate whatever profile occupies that second slot, regardless of whether you have it set as silent or something else
* The camera interface - Once again, an example of moving icons when they didn't need to be moved! I used to find that the location of the various camera settings was perfect with Anna, but now they're all along the bottom. Why did they need to be moved? This is perhaps just nitpicking, and doesn't really bother me as much as other changes, but I see no reason why some things need to be changed for the sake of changing things!
Things that needed to be fixed, and still haven't:
* Calculator - In this day and age a smartphone should have an advanced calculator, similar to many hi-end scientific calculators. At the very least, a basic calculator shoud have a "clear screen" button! We shouldn't have to exit the application and relaunch it in order to do a new calculation!
* The music player - Artists and Albums should be separate. End of! If youre choosing a new ringtone, you can browse by either Song, Artist, or Album, so why isn't this the same for the music player? This has annoyed me ever since I first got my N8, but seems like something Nokia are reluctant to fix, despite complaints from the majority of users. Also, why is there still no user-definable equaliser?

I think GeminiPhoenix has given some very valid points and has wriiten a clear and detailed post to help others in deciding whether Belle is for them or not.
Fanboys shouldn't get upset when other people criticise Nokia or a Nokia product they happen to dislike.

I think belle is 200% beter than Anna so much faster slicker and so far seems a lot more robust.
Use there is a few widgets changed or missing but thats an easy fix for Nokia (or 3rd parties)
you can have 3 home screens just delete the wones you dont want.
Im very happy with Belle it has restored my faith back in Nokia

I just want to add another thing to my "cons" list.
* eMail widget - Previously, I could have upto five separate eMail accounts on my homescreen. Now one single account takes up half the screen! **bleep**? How is this an improvement? I commended Nokia on this feature when I first received my N8, but now all I have are complaints because someone thought it was a good idea to change it...
Day to day I rely on having several eMail accounts accessable, and whilst I like how the eMail client has been improved with every iteration of Symbian, I dislike how the eMail widget has been changed so that it takes up half a homescreen! Who honestly demanded this when we had a perfect widget to start with?
12-02-2012 20:51
perfectly agree with geminiphoenix. belle is a bigger screw-up than anna.
like i said in another post, i purchased myself a PR1.0 E7 and am back to my kingdom. everything works super perfectly and i am one happy man in this world and will certainly be happier in other worlds too.
showroom spiel about E7 is that it is a failure model. motherboards having to be changed and all that. 7 of 10 E7 owners have paid visit to care point and have had painful waits for repair-time.
nokia is gone. that is what the showroom people say.

If you were so happy with Anna, why did you bother upgrading?
I had a very rough idea what Belle was going to be like, and I was happy to accept that there would be changes that I might not like and would need to get used to, but overall there is no question to me that Belle is a leap forward.
Most of your complaints relate to widgets and these are very likely to be addressed by Nokia eventually.
And most of your complainst can be dealt with, such as having too many homescreens - they can be deleted so that you only have 3
First of all, I didn't have a choice in the matter. I needed to update in order to fix a problem that Nokia still refuse to acknowledge is a flaw in their software. The only solution is to flash the handset with the newest software available. Besides, who wouldn't want the latest and fastest software for their device? Usually newer equals better, but in this case it doesn't...
I generally assume that updates are going to be the same as the previous version, but fixing a few of the things that are broken. In the past, that has generally been the case (except for when Anna decided to change the icon designs). However, I didn't expect for the widgets to be changed so drastically!
It's not just the widgets I have a problem with, but they seem to be the most prominent, as they're usually the aspects of the software we use the most. If I were designing the operating system, I would want to give users the most customisable experience I could, and that does not seem to be the case where Symbian is concerned. For example, if they change the clock, then they should offer us the option to have the old style as well as the new style, instead of just changing it and making it the only option. They give us an option to have a digital or analogue clock, so why not the option between different styles?
Second of all, why does everything have to be so hidden and cryptic with Belle? If there's a way to delete unwanted homescreens, then I have yet to find it! At the very least I expect to be able to find options and settings for things, but everything seems to be hidden away - As if they don't want us to customise. They seem to give with one hand, and take away with the other...
I previously stated that I accept all the positive aspects of Belle, and I like many of the new features which have been implemented. I like the new and improved speed (even if it does tend to hang a lot more than Anna), but as far as a user experience goes after coming from Anna, it's horrible, especially when you've been used to doing things a specific way for the best part of 15 months and have come to rely on doing things quickly and efficiently
Belle is great, provided you aren't too attached to your homescreen layout or organised applications. <sarcasm> I really enjoy having to reorganise and re-download everything after an update! </sarcasm>
Given the choice though, I would rather go back to the familiarity of Anna than suffer every day with the abomination that is Belle. I can live with Anna's flaws in return for a satisfactory user experience, but I can't live with Belle - At least, not in its current state! Perhaps if aspects of Anna could be transplanted into Belle, then I would be happy, but I doubt that Nokia care that much about whether we're happy with the software. It exists, so therefore we have to accept it for what it is, and we have no say in the matter...

Have to admit I don't like Belle either, it looked nice in the screenshots but I'd have Anna back anytime, the new status bar is horrible, why's there a gap between the battery and the clock which just wastes the little space there is and those tiny little signal bars are terrible and look nothing like the screenshots of Belle on the N8 and widgets are awfull, Nokia really should allow a firmware downgrade option for those of us who want to go back.
I totally agree, and we should at least have the ability to flash our devices back to Anna if we so wish, rather than have to endure software we're uncomfortable with!
There's no such thing as "try before you buy" here. Once you've tried it, it's very difficult to go back! Yet there's no way to know whether Belle is for you until you've upgraded, so it's a Catch 22 situation...
If it wasn't for the fact that I had to fix an age-old problem, I wouldn't have had cause to upgrade. I was happy with Anna, and would have gladly settled for that until my next handset upgrade

Easy to fix, yes. If they can be bothered, that is!
If they were that bothered about it, then they would have offered these things to us already. Clearly they don't care, otherwise they wouldn't have changed these things in the first place!
Like I have said, I have no problem with the Belle operating system itself - In fact I think it's a fantastic leap forward in terms of processing and speed - But the way it is presented compared to former iterations of Symbian (Ie, Symbian^3 and Anna) is not appealing. A step forward in one respect, but two steps backwards where usability is concerned...

GeminiPhoenix, you make plenty of valid points, but I think you need to try to give Belle a chance and then you might start noticing small things like the ability to simply delete any unwanted homescreens, and then it might begin to grow on you. I can understand your frustration at what you feel have been unnecessary changes (to Belle itself) but... well, I guess it must have been a MAJORLY serious age-old problem that forced you to risk the upgrade.
Your complaints about the Belle widgets are all justified and hopefully Nokia are listening and will do something about them in due course.
Even though I'd like more widgets, and more implementations of various settings into widgets, I find Belle to be be intuitive enough to make it an enjoyable experience - no less than Anna anyway.
I agree, Nokia should give the option to revert back to previous operating systems.
If I loved Anna so much, I wouldn't have cared less for latest and fastest software for my device. It would have taken a very serious problem to make me take the risk of changing it.
I admit I may have jumped the gun on one or two issues, and I have since discovered how to delete unwanted homescreens. However, this just proves that the option is well hidden away in a very specific place, where I would have probably not looked had someone not directed me to it. Therefore I formerly retract that issue from my list, but I will add that I feel such options should be more visible, especially as we don't have a user manual to flick through and we're expected to just figure this stuff out on our own!
I have also discovered that the Wi-Fi needs to be prioritised in order to automatically connect when in range of my home network. Again, this is not made clear, and the required settings are hidden away in an obscure folder where most normal people wouldn't think to look... I also retract this from my list
As for the "age-old problem" - This thread should answer everything:
It was indeed a serious problem, and the only way to fix it was to update to the newest software version. No doubt the problem will occur again in a few months time, and I'll have to do the same again...
However, where I initially aimed to fix one problem, Belle has posed several new ones, such as the headphones no longer working, and the text messaging interface being rearranged based on the assumption that everyone texts using the Conversations feature. Two things I use every single day, and pretty much everywhere I go.
I am also glad that you support my complaints about the widgets, so thank you. I know they're only minor issues, but they're the most used, and I fail to understand why they decided to change certain ones. The whole widget system overhaul is great, but it's ruined by the larger widgets which formerly used to be much more compact. For example, the music player and eMail widgets are the largest and most waste of space, whereas the clock / calendar / profile cluster was perfect, so why separate them so that they take up twice as much space on the homescreen?
I too hope they're paying attention, and I have openly shared my thoughts with the Nokia team via Twitter. I would suggest everyone else does the same if they feel the same way
I liked Anna. Whlist I did miss the old PR 1.2 icons, and disliked the coloured blobs, I could live with it. I thought Belle would be more of the same, with just a few tweaks here and there to things that needed fixing, but it seems like something entirely different. At the very least, I expected certain things to stay the same, with the improvements being under-the-hood so to speak
As I have said before, certain aspects didn't need touching. They were perfectly fine as they were. Belle would function just as well if they had've left the widgets as they were. I appreciate that they've done a lot of work making certain aspects run faster, but some things weren't broken, so why try to fix them? Even more frustrating is the fact that other issues have yet again been ignored, such as the terrible music player interface, which almost everybody wants changing back to something similar to the S60 v5.0 era

After updating from Anna to Belle, the subfolders (or maps) are not accessible anymore in my emailer. It only shows the default folders (inbox, drafts, sent and outbox) and not the folders I had created in my (POP3) email account.
Nokia Support Desk did confirm that this function is not supported anymore, which is very inconvenient as I organize 95% of my emails into folders.
Please Nokia, enable again the option to browse through own-created mailfolders!
PS for my Hotmail account is does recognize my custom folders, so I wonder why a different choice has been made for different types of mailers.
13-02-2012 14:18
While lot of statements of GemoniPhoenix are valid, a workaround can be found in some cases, even if it is time-consuming... Now, I found a bug in Belle:
I am using my C7-00 with speakerphone HF-210 in my car. The voice dialing became now unreliable, because the device is no longer triggering the short audio signal, indicating that -speak now-.
I hope, Nokia will correct soon...

If you think the "Sleepy Hollow" production crews were impressive, wait until the production crews for "Bayard Wootten: The Big Stride" rolls into town.
At least that's how Anthony Lilly envisions it.
"I plan on keeping the commerce as local as possible," he said of his planned project. "And it will be a great opportunity for the area. We'll need hundreds of extras." He estimates 12 to 14 semis will be involved.
Lilly, who was raised in the Green Springs area of James City and currently lives in Seattle, has been pursuing bringing New Bern's most famous photographer, the strong-willed Bayard Wootten, to the big screen and he plans to shoot about 80 percent of his movie in town.
Wootten (1875-1959) was born and raised in New Bern. Forced to raise two sons on her own after her husband abandoned her early in her marriage, she turned to photography and became a leader in the pictorial movement, which was at its height at the turn of the century.
Wootten's photography is sometimes credited with saving Fort Bragg from closing. Her career included a couple of "firsts" including the first aerial photograph by a woman. She was known especially for her photographs of the common people in their daily lives, and for her work in the mountains of North Carolina.
Lilly first visited New Bern to announce his project at a news conference in December 2012. He read brief excerpts from a rough-draft script he was writing and stated he hoped to be filming before 2013 was out.
"I was a little naïve of the process in the beginning, thinking I was going to knock it out of the ballpark that early," Lilly said recently in a phone interview. "The process is a little lengthier than I had anticipated."
Since then he has been working and reworking the script (it is reportedly on its fourth draft now) while he has been shopping for investors and sponsors and otherwise laying groundwork for his film.
"The movie is still getting done," he said. "We've been working this week to acquire an agent to submit the script to producers.
As to funding, "PepsiCo has had the script for a month," he said. "Their entire team over there is breaking the script apart and deciding how to approach it." Lilly feels confident that Pepsi, whose founder Caleb Bradham figures prominently in his script, will come through for him.
He is also looking into other companies such as Kodak, whose products were prominent early in Wootten's career.
Hopefully "Paramount or Warner Bros. or one of those guys" will put up the rest of the film's cost.
Lilly has also been laying groundwork by landing his costumer, Emmy Award winning Amy Andrews who has worked on such film projects as "Lincoln," "The Patriot" and "Signs."
He has also been hunting down Wootten memorabilia. Recently he was in New Bern to close on a purchase of Bayard Wootten's old studio equipment, including her 1889 portrait camera. "All the portraits she took in town went through that camera," Lilly noted, "and that's pretty cool history."
Also, as part of the purchase, was around 2,000 original Wootten negatives.
Lilly will return to New Bern Nov. 14 to make a full inventory of his collection which is currently in storage.
Lilly plans to leave a memorial to Wootten after the film in the form of a museum and gift shop which would feature his collection and a rotating gallery of her photography.
"I'm working with the University of North Carolina and the Mary Bayard collection to create museum-quality images," he said, adding that the university is interested in his negatives as well as their own.
He hopes to set up his museum in the Elks Building and will be touring the structure with its current owner, Greg Hatem, on his next visit to New Bern.
Lilly is hesitant to make a guess as to when production can begin — it all depends on when the money comes through.
He added, after a moment, "I think you can tell people it will be soon."

Coastal protection against floods: BASF is aware that in many parts of the world, climate-related flood disasters cause devastating damage putting thousands of peoples at risk. The consequences of such disasters are not only flooding but also the loss of land. The regions at greatest risk are already raising the height of many of their dike systems to as much as 9 meters. BASF is offering an innovative and environment-friendly solution to provide effective and stable coastal protection. Through a specially developed elastomer polyurethane system (Elastocoast) dikes are protected by absorbing the force of the breaking waves and slowing down the water masses.Plants with higher stress tolerance: Environmental factors like heat and cold often determine the quality of the harvest. Climate-induced more extreme weather conditions can put plants "under stress", so that they don't provide the expected yield. That's why BASF's researchers are developing stress-tolerant plants that are more resistant to extreme weather conditions such as drought. This is to optimize crop plants such as corn, soy and wheat.Reforestation through promoting sustainable development: BASF initiated the foundation Espaço ECO (Brasil) in cooperation with GIZ. Espaço ECO focuses on promoting sustainable development by transferring knowledge and technology, especially through the implementation of solutions in eco-efficiency, environmental education and reforestation. Currently, superabsorbers are being trialed for a reforestation project in the Brazilian rain forest. These superabsorber polymers have an enormous water absorption capacity and can effectively store it in soil, thereby increasing water storage capacity.

West Point fire officials responded not once but twice Wednesday to 813 Fifth Street where the home of Ferdinand Sykes caught fire early that morning and again that same afternoon.
It was around 6 a.m. Wednesday morning when West Point firemen first responded to a fire at the home and stayed on scene for over an hour trying to completely extinguish the flames. The home, which has now been condemned, was filled from door to door with clothing and other items that officials had to climb over and around to reach parts of the home that was on fire.
West Point Battalion Chief Ken Wilbourne said it's unclear how the initial fire began but believes it may have started in one of the three rooms at the back of the house, which were all fully involved when firemen arrived that morning. The attic was also fully engulfed in flames prior to their arrival, he said.
Around 3:15 p.m. firemen received another fire call out to 813 Fifth Street where heavy smoke could be seen bellowing from the attic, which is where Wilbourne said the second fire likely reignited.
Sykes nor anyone else was home when the first fire broke out, but it is unclear if he was home when the fire started the second time. Though the actual cause of the fire remains under investigation, Sykes, who sat on his front porch Wednesday afternoon as firemen tried to smother the flames away for good, said he believes an issue with electrical wiring may have been the cause.
No one was injured during either fire incident.
The interior of the home suffered extensive fire damage, and the portions of the home that received little fire damage had significant smoke and water damage. It's unclear at this time if anything in the home was salvageable.

Bleu de Chanel, I smell it everywhere.
Thread: Most "smelled" in your area...
I have to say that I have noticed that the most popular scent that is easily identified in my area (Augusta, GA) has to be Polo Black. My son says it's the king at his high school, and I have noticed at least two professional associates in their 50's wearing it.
What's big in your neighborhood?
Bleu de Chanel, I smell it everywhere.
Terre D'Hermes for the boys and Alien for the girls are probably the most popular in my area...
Discover my Guest Reviewer Of The Day here
Le Male if I had to guess.
I don't smell cologne of any sort on hardly any guy here (upper midwest/Great Lakes region). The few I do occasionally smell, I have no idea what they are. I am generally not around guys under about 30, if that makes any difference.
I haven't noticed a dominant male fragrance (seems pretty diversified in my area), but there is this fragrance for women that EVERY professional lady wears. I don't know anything about women's fragrances so I have no idea but it is ridiculous how often I smell it in my office or on an audit.
Anything that tends to be advertised on TV at Christmas, generic fragrances.
The latest releases from D&G, Armani etc.
In my area probably some D&G or Armani for boys, yes Alien or may be Hypnotic Poison for girls.
for men - acqua di gio and d&g the one seem to be the most popular here.
Generic blandness. I can't put my finger on it. But here in the South not many dudes wear frags. Like things like Acqua di Gio and 1 Million you'd be surprised to see people wear. The dudes I know rock basic deodorants, the ones that wear frags go for cheaper stuff (lol one of friends was wearing Charlie Red a female frag, I then gave him Azzaro Chrome and Lacoste L.12.12. Blanc to up his game a bit). Several times I "know" I have smelled Chrome on some people, also Bulgari Aqua on a few people, but other than that it's tough to pin point a specific.
In general: AdG by far and then Bleu.
Among teens: 1 Million and a vanilla bomb I haven't been able to identify yet.
On the other hand, I've only ever noticed Fahrenheit two or three times over the past decade, but it stops me dead in my tracks each time, and I always turn to see who's wearing it as if to tip my hat to that guy... except I usually don't wear a hat. What a great scent.
Anybody have a sample of Martin Margiela Untitled or Untitled L'Eau? I'm dying to smell these and I've got lots of great niche samples to swap!
"Follow your nose. It always knows." -- Toucan Sam
Yes, also Le Male is enormously popular everywhere and some Narciso Rodriguez For Her
Not many people in my neck of the woods (Seattle 'burbs) wear fragrances.
In NYC, well I smell so many fragrances during the course of a week. But, what stands out a lot is Bleu de Chanel, Aqua Di Gio, Polo Black, and Le Male.
AdG, One Million, and Le Male.
Current Top Five:
1. Creed Green Irish Tweed
2. Tom Ford Neroli Portofino
3. Hermes Concentre d'Orange Verte
4. Bond No. 9 New Haarlem
5. Creed Original Vetiver
Sometimes I smell a Le Male trail in the stairwell or parking lot and I smelled Bleu one time downtown.
When F1 was in town there were 100,000 people in town from all over the world and everyone that I passed was wearing a different fragrance. Very unusual and nice.
Want to trade - Chanel Platinum Egoiste for Dior Eau Sauvage...
Bleu de Chanel, 1 Million, Versace Eau Fraiche, Le Male.
"As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round."
--Ben Hogan
I've only smelled Fahrenheit from two people in my area: my friend who is past 40 years old, and one guy at the mall in his late 20's or early 30's. The scent is unmistakeable, and the projection and sillage are quite impressive to be honest.
Unfortunately 1 Million and 212 Vip
ADG still reigns king although I smell a few Polo Blue (I think?) and those light, airy types
Not sure what it is, but I smell a cocoa / chocolate / vanilla scent wafting around whenever I walk past teenage / early 20's boys. Whatever it is, it's designer and available everywhere and probably inexpensive.
Maybe it's the same vanilla bombAmong teens: 1 Million and a vanilla bomb I haven't been able to identify yet.
LOST! in scent and music
Hardly anyone in my office building wears cologne so I pretty much inhale whatever I wear for the day. One of my office buds was making fun of me for my obsession with scents said one day, "You stink". I took it as a compliment bc I know I smell good...lol
Alien and, surprisingly enough, Womanity is becoming more and more popular here...
Kurt smells like Teen Spirit
Not sure about a particular scent, but I smell gourmands more than fresh scents now.
LeMale and 1 Million
There is a foreman on our job site who bathes in LeMale. I can tell where he has been and passed through the site even though he is no longer in that spot. Funny too, because he is this big burly dude wearing a powdery vanilla scent on a construction site. Oh the irony
On men something I don't know but a lot of guys seem to wear it, or at least similar fragrances, kinda darkish and a bit musky.
Else A*Men or similar type fragrances, always in the supermarket, for some reason. Also have smelled Mitsouko on old ladies, Fahrenheit 32, Fleur du Male or Altamir, L'Instant, etc. A colleague of mine wears Narciso R. Essence for women, smells good on her. Sometimes Le Male still. Cool Water (or GIT? :-p ) the other day.
Don't think it's Usher. I usually smell it on professional, well dressed people who'd probably not go for celebrity scents (unless I'm wrong to assume that Usher is the singer?). It's not sweet and quite manly but can smell a bit stuffy when overapplied, which many tend to do, or it's a strong juice.
An aquatic (calone bomb), that I can't identify, worn by guys year round, even in the dead of winter, making it smell particularly metallic and screachy.
Over the past 18 months I've noticed a chocolate patchouli gourmand, that I can't identify, on the ladies, once again work year, even in mid summer when the temparature hits the mid 30s (C) and humidy is around 90%, which makes in innapropriately cloying.
Hollywood Ca- A men and burburry London at night.
Downtown La- One Million, GIT
Longbeach Ca Pretty much any aquatic
And when Im in TN- None, doesn't seem like people here care to wear any... south west areas.
Axe. That's it, from where I live. Even from the older gentlemen.
If I smell anything distinct away from Axe, it's Polo Green.
I've smelled Acqua di Gio on guys around these parts, but only a few times.
I live in a small town, so fragrances aren't huge around here from what I've noticed. I'm not complaining.
Marijuana, cheap wine and pepper spray
Are you not entertained??? Is this not why you are here??
Adg, spicebomb, one million and alien.
My current top ten:
1. Spice and Wood
2. Tonka Imperiale
3. Dior Homme
4. Pure Malt
5. Oud Wood
6. Ambre Nuit
7. L'air Du Desert Marocain
8. Noir de Noir
9. Apple Brandy
10.Straight to Heaven
Currently on my Rotation:
1. Cartier D'un Soir
2. Loewe Essencia
3. Bergamotto Marino
4. Herb Alpert Listen
5. Artisan
6. Bang
8. Pal Zileri No 18
9. TdH
0. Kenzo Homme
One million. One million. One million. The problem with it is the beastly projection. I'd be alright if they didn't do more than a few sprays but I can smell them coming and 10 mins after they have left. They killed the fragrance for me.
D&G Light Blue pour Homme....wince
on the bright side, many women are wearing Bulgari Black
Ambercrombie Fierce everywhere you turn. The last concert I went to, it was if every man, woman, and child had donned it. It was inescapable.
i smell a lot of drakkar noir
In Japan a few Bvlgari's (but unfortunately almost never Black). In the part of California I'm in at the moment, I've mostly noticed AdG every now and then, and I think I smelled someone wearing a liberal amount of Curve last week as well.
Mugler A*Men
sailing the Oceans of Boredom...
I NEVER smell fragrances on guys in my town unless it's on a night out. And then it's Le Male.
Here in Brisbane Australia, i smell Issey Miyake, Le Male and Joop.
Interesting mix from around the world. Also lets you know how rare niche scents are. Looks like they are still our domain. Designer scents and the cheap stuff appear to be dominant, which is as it should be. We still stand out as the standard bearers!
I live in Auckland, New Zealand, and I smell a lot more of One Million and Cool Water than anything else.
I was out last night and I smelt a few 1 millions, an ADG and countless women's fragrances that were heavily applied.
Aqua di Gio
- - - Updated - - -
Aqua di Gio
Copenhagen is trying to suffocate me with 1 Million... Oh the horror!!! At lectures, in the bus, i the metro or train... Everywhere 1 Million...
The last frags I remember smelling on others are Terre D'Hermes, Paco Rabanne Ultraviolet, Joop Homme, A*Men and Chanel Coco Madamoiselle. Nothing in particular to get excited about...!
I rarely smell much other than Axe at my university, but I have smelled 1 million a few times.

Excellent product!
I ordered 2 different designs for our Save the Dates- they were both excellent! Both orders were easy to design and had quick shipping! We have had MANY people comment on how much they love our magnets!!
stunning save the Date Magnets
I highly recommend Magnet Street. I ordered many Just One samples because we were having trouble picking from the great design options. Magnet Street made it easy to apply the credit to my future order. Once we settled on the design the magnets arrived in a beautiful box. The packing and the product is absolutely top notch quality. I personalized the design and changed the font by calling in and getting assistance which was very helpful and professional. I ordered samples from some other companies and Magnet Street was definitely the best with choices and quality and price.
Beautiful Save the Date
I ordered this save the date for my wedding in October. The first sample I received had text that was way too difficult to read. Although you can size it yourself on the editor, I feel as though someone at the company should have used his own discretion and knew the writing was too small before sending it to me. So, I ordered a second sample, adjusted the text, and stressed that I needed to be able to read it. Since things always look different on a monitor than in person, I wanted to be sure it was sized correctly. The second sample was perfect. I've gotten many compliments on it. The price is fair for the quality of the magnet. Gorgeous!

Another remarkable survivor in superior condition, this 1934 Packard is only on its third owner. It's also the most heavily documented pre-war car I've ever seen, with complete service records, the original invoice, and all the original accessories such as the license plate frame (as shown in the 1934 Packard Accessories Brochure) and the ultra-rare Packard Handy Kit, which includes stuff like tar remover, body polish, spare light bulbs, and upholstery cleaner. It is known to the Packard 1100 Registry and is widely regarded as the nicest unrestored 1100 in existence.
It wears its original, Packard-applied code F Abington Blue paint, and while it's a bit thin in spots, it still looks decent. Not show quality anymore, but certainly nicer than 80-old-paint should look. There are quite a few amateurishly done touch-ups that could probably be improved upon, or just leave it as-is and enjoy without worries, which is what I would do. There's no rust and no signs of accidents, although I'm guessing the unusual front bumper guards were installed after one too many bumps to those big front fenders, which I believe were repainted many, many years ago. Chrome is quite good, with very minor pitting on the taillight housings and optional "lady with doughnut" hood ornament. Other accessories include dual sidemounts with metal covers. locking mirrors and trim rings on all six wire wheels.
The interior is extremely well-preserved save for some modest wear on the driver's seat. The carpets are a little threadbare, but things like the woodgrained dash and moldings are excellent, and the rear seat area looks practically new. It has been equipped with an optional Startix system, but was disconnected by the current owner for personal preference reasons, not functional ones, and the same is true of the Bijur system, which is complete but capped so it doesn't make a mess on your garage floor. Perhaps most shockingly, the accessory AM radio is complete, as are all the gauges, which are simply gorgeous. It has been fitted with aftermarket turn signals for safety, and all the chrome interior fittings are excellent.
After several years in storage, it has been recently and extensively serviced by David Heinrichs of Heinrichs' Vintage Car Shop, including removing the cylinder head, new gaskets, rebuilt carburetor, new ignition components, and cleaning out the coolant passages. It starts almost instantly and drives beautifully, with typical Packard torque and performance, and never goes above 170 degrees indicated on the gauge. It is equipped with the optional high compression cylinder head on the 320 cubic inch straight-8, and with 4.69 gears it happily cruises at 45-50 MPH. The transmission shifts smoothly with no noises and excellent synchros, the brakes are astoundingly powerful (the adjustable power assist works as it should) and the ride is supple in a way that's hard to describe. It has a great grumbly exhaust note that is totally vintage, and newer Dayton blackwall tires have been fitted which suit it perfectly.
To be honest, if I hadn't purchased my 1929 Cadillac a few years ago, I would be all over this car in a heartbeat and I still haven't ruled out putting it in my own collection somehow. If you've never driven an all-original car, it will open your eyes as to how good these cars really were and how smooth, tight, and well-engineered they feel on the road. A stately Full Classic that represents arguably the best year of Packard design in a very road-worthy package. Thanks for looking!

Welcome to Rosenthal Land Rover Chantilly
If you want to open a new dealership, success can come fairly quickly if you're willing to follow a few simple rules. First, don't simply offer a car, but rather an automotive experience found in no other vehicle. In that case, there's only one Land Rover. Next, build a brand new, state of the art facility and employ only those who understand and live the phrase: "Impeccable Customer Service." Then teach and train them on every aspect of Land Rover - from new and used sales, to financing and leasing, to servicing and parts, to complete product knowledge about one of the world's oldest and finest vehicles. Last, simply wait. At first, your customers will come from your local neighborhoods, in this case from Chantilly, Centreville, Ashburn, Aldie, Fairfax, Fairfax City, Loudoun County, Haymarket, Dulles, Middleburg, Sterling, Gainesville, and Manassas. But very soon thereafter, the word of your reputation for excellent customer service in all areas will spread to all areas, and you'll find yourself attracting customers from such distant areas as Charlottesville, Richmond, Maryland, Rockville, Bethesda, Arlington, Alexandria, Springfield, and Reston to name just a few. Yes, the rapid and remarkable success of Rosenthal Land Rover of Chantilly really is the result of following those simple rules.
But - success is dynamic, and if we are to remain successful, we must convince you of our value first. So let's start by managing your expectations the first time you visit us. If you only expect to find a few Land Rover vehicles here, we'd be violating our first rule of offering you a true automotive experience. Which means we must, and do carry every Land Rover made, in every color, with every option. Whether it's the 7 passenger Land Rover LR3 or the all new 2008 Land Rover LR, the Range Rover HSE or the Range Rover Supercharged, Range Rover Sport, Range Rover Sport HSE, or Range Rover Sport Supercharged - you'll find it here. Today.
Yet just because we offer a luxury vehicle, that doesn't mean it must be sold at a luxury price. After you decide which Land Rover is right for you, we'll then proceed to make you aware of all special offers, discounts, and incentives, including financing and lease specials. Bottom line: We offer competitive Land Rover pricing.
And of course after the sale, you'll still be in good company when you have your Land Rover serviced with us. Whether it's simple or scheduled maintenance, or warranty work, you'll be in the hands of highly trained service technicians who only use factory Land Rover parts.

Comments about Creative Writing Flip Chart:
SEN children became involved - they were encouraged that there wasn't a wrong answer. Even a child who doesn't usually speak in group situations added to the task.

CONCORD, N.C. - Pfeiffer University competed in the Conference Carolinas Conference Championship on Friday afternoon at Frank Liske Park. All 12 schools of the conference were represented as Pfeiffer finished 7th in the womens championship and 8th in the men's. King College was the women's championship while Mount Olive won on the men's side.
The women started the day with Alex Crouch as the top finisher in 28th place with a time of 21:48. Trista Byers finished just five seconds behind in 30th and Janna Featherstone came in on their heels in 31st place with a season-best time of 22:09.
Cori Newton finished in 22:29 and Justine Serje, just cleared from a foot injury that had sidelined her for three weeks, rounded out the top five with a 23:50. Nina Ubabuike and Maia Black finished in 25:53 and 26:54 respectively, and helped secure Pfeiffer's one point win over Lees-McRae.
"We've had to overcome obstacles all year; sometimes big, sometimes small," commented head coach Scott Nolt. "These girls have shown great resiliency and perseverance all year long, to finish just eight points out of 6th place."
The men's team was led by senior Will Oliver as they have all season. Oliver ran a 28:01 good for 28th place. Following the senior Oliver, Pfeiffer scored five freshmen – Freeze, Garren, Furman, Jarman, and Skidmore. Alex Freeze ran a 29:10 in 44th place. Brandon Garren finished in 29:34 with Henry Furman just five seconds behind. Nathan Jarman was the final scoring runner finishing in 30:01 and in 6th was Jesse Skidmore with a season best time of 30:18. Junior Cody Jones had his best finish of the season finishing the course in 30:21.
In two weeks, both teams will compete at the NCAA Southeast Regional meet at the McAlpine Greenway in Charlotte.

These address labels are great!
A last minute change in ideas for how we wanted to address our RSVPs (we originally had purchased a stamp, but the color/texture of the RSVP cards were different than originally thought - so the stamp showed up much lighter than usual). On a whim, designed these quickly & they were here less than a week later! They look great! I would recommend these to anyone!

Results vs. UNC-Pembroke (2008-02-12 00:00:00)
February 12, 2008
|Falcons Lose Two at Pembroke
|Tuesday, 12 February 2008
|Pembroke---UNCP defeated Pfeiffer twice, 8-7 and 5-4, in a doubleheader at LRA Softball Field on Tuesday afternoon. The Falcons (4-2) led by as many as five runs in game one and jumped out to an early lead in game two were unable to put UNCP away with the Braves scoring the game-winning runs in the sixth and seventh innings of both contests.
Game one saw Pfeiffer score four runs with UNCP pitcher Martika Elmore getting the first start of her career. Elmore walked four batters giving up two hits in the opening frame putting herself into a difficult hole to dig out of.
UNCP would get on the board in the second inning when Candace Evans scored from second base on a throwing error by Pfeiffer. The Falcons would add two more runs in the top of the fourth on a Shelby Fleming two-run bomb over the leftfield wall to give Pfeiffer a 6-1 lead.
Hill hit a solo shot with two outs in the Braves' of the fourth to pull UNCP within four of the Falcons. The Braves would then tack on five runs in the bottom of the fifth (two on an Anna Williamson single, two on Bartz's home run to center and one on a throwing error by Pfeiffer) to take a 7-6 lead into the sixth inning.
Pfeiffer would be quick to respond in their half of the sixth loading the bases and scoring a run on a wild pitch to tie the game at 7-7. Elmore was able to strike out the remaining batters to get out of the jam to keep the game tied with the Braves coming up to bat.
Katie Linkous started the sixth with a single up the middle and was pinch-run for by Carissa Dancer. Dancer advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Christy Freeland and eventually reach home on another Pfeiffer throwing error.
Elmore would walk the first batter of the inning for Pfeiffer but would sit down the next three as the Fayetteville, N.C. native earned her first collegiate victory, giving up seven runs (all earned) on four hits while striking out 11 and walking 11. Dacia Ijames was credited with the lost for the Falcons in six innings of work.
In game two Pfeiffer once again broke the scoreless tie, this time with a two-run second inning. Hill got the Braves on the board in the bottom half of inning two with her second solo shot of the day to cut the Falcons lead in half.
Pfeiffer went up 3-1 in the fourth on a Martina Bullard single to center which scored Amanda Braswell from second. UNCP tied the game at 3-3 in the fifth on a pair of singles by Bartz and third baseman Jelena Shaw before the Falcons regained the lead in the top of the sixth Pfeiffer's Hannah Clark recorded a single of her own to score Sarah Moore from third.
In the bottom of the seventh Brittany Berrier led off the inning with a one-bagger up the middle. Berrier stole second to get into scoring position and would later score on a throwing error by Pfeiffer's third baseman.
Patrick's first run batted in, a single down the leftfield line, scored the winning run for the Braves who improved to 5-3 on the season with the win.
Amanda Braswell went six-and-two-thirds for the Falcons and was credited wit the loss for Pfeiffer.
Pfeiffer travels to Brevard College on Sunday for a double-header starting at 1:00 pm.
