DxOMark Mobile Report: Sony Xperia Z
Touted as Sony's new "superphone" and leading the charge as one of the first to foster a growing trend toward 13MP camera phones, the Xperia Z certainly piqued the interest of mobile photography enthusiasts when it was launched at the start of this year. We know we were eager to see how the phone fared under DxOMark's rigorous scientific testing.
The DxOMark Mobile Report includes DxO Lab's usual industrial-quality scientific measurements. Its imaging experts have analyzed 14 aspects of mobile imaging including detailed image quality assessment, flash performance, autofocus reliability and more to calculate a final score. This report will be integrated into our full review once it is finished. We do not yet have a review unit at the DPR Connect offices but will start working on our own evaluation as soon as we get one. For now scroll down to find out how the Sony Xperia Z's camera performed in the DxO lab tests.
Sony Xperia Z headline features:
- 13-megapixel camera with Exmor RS sensor
- 2MP front-facing camera
- 5-inch touchscreen (1920 x 1080 pixels, 441ppi)
- 1.5GHz quad-core CPU
- 16GB of internal storage
- MicroSD card slot, up to 64 GB
With a DxOMark Mobile score of 61 the Sony Xperia Z is ranked low among DxO smartphone rankings. It came in only two points above Apple's New iPad and the only other devices it left behind are older phones like the Samsung Galaxy SII or the Apple iPhone 4. However, it's far below the best in class such as the Nokia 808, Apple iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S3. In particular, it exhibited a poor performance in low light conditions.
The DxOMark team report that the Sony Xperia Z captures images with "good overall exposure," "nice colors in every lighting conditions" and "low noise level in low light without chromatic component."
On the downside: DxOMark reports that many pictures were out of focus. Images show "very strong low frequency chroma noise in the shade in bright light conditions" and "some white balance errors outdoors." In low light, the camera demonstrated poor texture preservation, a strong loss of texture, poor autofocus repeatability and excessive exposure time, even when the image stabilizer is off. Color shading occurs under a tungsten light source.
In video mode, the Xperia Z redeemed itself a bit. DxOMark's engineers reported that the Sony produced video with "excellent contrast and dynamic: best device tested to date" and "good noise reduction."
However, the report also found the Xperia Z video testing showed "loss of texture, even in bright light," "artifacts such as aliasing (staircase effect on straight lines) and flickering" and "inefficient video stabilization." Autofocus was not very reactive to scene change without moving the device.
Color, Exposure and Contrast
Still Photography
The DxOMark team found that the Sony Xperia Z images show "good overall exposure" and "nice colors in every lighting conditions."
However, the Xperia Z also displayed "excessive exposure time in low light, even when the image stabilizer is off." In difficult lighting conditions, contrast can be lost in the shadows. The Xperia Z shows color shading under tungsten light and some white balance errors outdoors. Because of this, DxOMark scored the Sony Xperia Z at 78/100 for color in bright light and 67/100 in low light.
Overall DxOMark awarded the Sony Xperia Z scores of:
- 4.2 out of 5 for Exposure
- 3.5 out of 5 for White Balance accuracy
- 4.0 out of 5 for Color shading in low light*
- 3.8 out of 5 for Color shading in bright light*
- 3.0 out of 5 for Color Rendering in low light
- 4.0 out of 5 for Color Rendering in bright light
*Color Shading is the nasty habit cellphone cameras have of rendering different areas of the frame with different color shifts, resulting in pictures with, for example, pinkish centers and greenish corners.
Noise and Details
DxOMark's engineers reported that the Sony Xperia Z image output shows "low noise levels in low light without chromatic component." However, the Xperia Z also showed "poor texture preservation in all lighting conditions," "strong loss of texture in low light conditions" and "strong low frequency chroma noise in the shade in bright light conditions."
Texture Acutance
Texture Acutance is a way of measuring the ability of a camera to capture images that preserve fine details, particularly the kind of low contrast detail (textures such as fine foliage, hair, fur) that can be blurred away by noise reduction or obliterated by excessive sharpening.
Sharpness is an important part of the quality of an image, but while it is easy to look at an image and decide visually whether it's sharp or not, the objective measurement of sharpness is less straightforward.
An image can be defined as "sharp" if its edges are sharp and if fine details are visible, but in-camera processing means it's possible to have one of these (sharp edges) but not the other (fine details). Conventional MTF measurements tell us how sharp an edge is, but have drawbacks when it comes to measuring fine detail preservation. Image processing algorithms can detect edges and enhance their sharpness, but they can also find homogeneous areas and smooth them out to reduce noise.
Texture Acutance, on the other hand, can qualify sharpness in terms of preservation of fine details, without being fooled by edge enhancement algorithms.
At first sight, the images from these two cameras may appear equally sharp. A sharpness measurement on edges will indeed confirm this impression, and will even show that the second camera is sharper. But a closer examination of low contrasted textures shows that the first camera has a better preservation of fine details than the second. The purpose of the Texture Acutance measurement is to qualify this difference.
Visual Noise is a value designed to assess the noise in an image as perceived by the human visual system, depending on the viewing condition (size of image, size of screen or print, viewing distance). The measurements have no units and can be simply viewed as a weighted average of noise standard deviation for each channel in the CIE L*a*b* color space. The lower the measurement, the less noise in the image.
Natural scene
- Texture (bright light): 3.0 out of 5
- Texture (low light): 2.5 out of 5
- Noise (bright light): 2.0 out of 5
- Noise (low light) 2.0 out of 5
Phone cameras, like entry-level compact cameras, tend to suffer from artifacts such as sharpening halos, color fringing, vignetting (shading) and distortion, which can impact on the visual appeal of the end result. DxOMark engineers measure and analyze a range of artifacts. Their findings after testing the Sony Xperia Z are shown below:
- n/a
- Slight color fringing but at an acceptable level
Perceptual scores
- Sharpness 4.0 out of 5
- Color fringing 4.0 out of 5
Measured findings
- Ringing center 7.2%
- Ringing corner 5.4%
- Max geometric distortion -0.31%
- Luminance shading 14%
Distortion and Chromatic Aberrations
DxOMark also tests autofocus accuracy and reliability by measuring how much the accutance -- sharpness -- varies with each shot over a series of 30 exposures (defocusing then using the autofocus for each one). As with other tests these results are dependant on the viewing conditions (a little bit out of focus matters a lot less with a small web image than a full 8MP shot viewed at 100%). Using the 8MP equivalent condition the Sony Xperia Z results are especially poor in low light. The overall score is 67/100 in bright light and 26/100 in low light.
- Few oscillations
- Poor repeatability in low light conditions. Many pictures are out of focus.
DxOMark scored the Sony Xperia Z 64/100 overall for its flash performance.
- Exposure and color results are good with flash
- White balance is stable
- Poor texture preservation.
- Autofocus sometimes lacks repeatability.
- Red color cast with tungsten light source.
Overall DxOMark Mobile score for Photo: 62 / 100
Video Capture
DxOMark engineers put phone cameras through a similarly grueling set of video tests, and you can read their full findings on the DxOMark website here. We'll simply summarize for you. DxOMark found the Sony Xperia Z's exposure to be the best in any device it's tested to date. However, results exhibit loss of texture, artifacts and flickering, and image stabilization performance is inefficient.
- Good exposure: best device tested to date.
- Good noise reduction.
- Loss of texture, even in bright light.
- Artifacts such as aliasing (starcaise effect on straight lines) and flickering.
- Inefficient video stabilization.
- Autofocus not very reactive to scene change without phone motion.
Overall DxOMark Mobile score for Video: 61 / 100
DXOMark Image Quality Assessment
The Sony Xperia Z achieves a DxO Mark score of 61 which means it can only place itself in front of older phones such as the Samsung Galaxy SII or Apple iPhone 4. However, it is far below the best in class such as the Nokia 808, Apple iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S3. In particular, it exhibited a poor performance in low light conditions.
The Sony Xperia Z offers "good overall exposure," "nice colors in every lighting conditions" and "low noise level in low light." On the downside: DxOMark reports that many pictures were out of focus. Images show chroma noise in shadow areas and in low light the camera preserved textures poorly, with poor autofocus repeatability and excessive exposure time, even with the image stabilizer switched off. Color shading occurs under tungsten light sources.
In video mode, the Xperia Z captured footage with "excellent contrast and dynamic range" and "good noise reduction" but also showed a "loss of texture, even in bright light" and "artifacts such as aliasing (staircase effect on straight lines) and flickering." Image stabilization in video mode was found to be inefficient and the AF was not very reactive to scene changes without moving the device. For a more detailed analysis, visit www.dxomark.com.

I own it
I want it
I had it
Sony Xperia is a Great Phone and its Sound Effect is amazing this is call all in 1 smart phone thank Sony to give us Handset like this.
My Xperia z is getting hotter while operating internet and other applications. Any suggestions.
it might be a great phone..
sony publish this all type facility in one device it is one time became..
Was this the best SOny smartphone tested by DxOMark or was it just the first Sony so far?^^
Strange being Sony's compacts and NEX take superb pictures. (I have an NEX 5R 16-50mm PZ and got some outstanding shots in the lovely British sunshine today, so why didn't Sony continue in that tradition with the Xperia Z when phones like the Galaxy Note (1) that I once owned take superb photos that are hard to tell from even a mirrorless or NEX in good light?
How is it possible to believe DXO testing when they have consistently shown bias toward Nikon and against all other manufacturers? I believe DPReview have erred in teaming up with DXO Labs.
because canon performs poorly when compared against nikon? its not dxomark's fault that canon has been using the same sensor for the last 5 years.
stop acting like a fanboy and education yourself, Nikon scores are like pentax and sony scores, because they use the same sensors in most camera. Sony iso is lower because it use slt and that has some light lost. Canon used older tech so it has less DR, the iso is lower, but canon cook the raw to get improve real world effects. Some Olympus and hasselbald are using sony sensors now, not canon.
As xda-developers pointed out, pictures are much better in the burst mode. Could you Dpreview / DxO guys test that?
Interesting test, though pointless. Phone cameras are mainly used by persons not in the least interested in any kind of serious "photography". Any snap will be good enough.
I personally know a few guys who even don't bother downloading their images from phone to PC. All they do is watching their photos on the phone screen. They would never ever care about 100% accurate sharpness, grain or whatever.
Although I have to admit that it's quite a shame for a company like Sony to incorporate such a mediocre camera. If even Apple can do better, Sony should seriously consider some improvements.
The point is, Sony is a renowned camera maker with a good reputation and no matter whether users really "need" an above average camera or not, Sony should provide its phones with cameras that are able to vie with the elite of competitors. Even more since Sony charges quite a bit for its top notch phones. It's all about reputation.
isnt this the new RS sensor?
This review meets my findings and it's a shame because what this phone's camera really needs is less pixels.
Sony maybe follows the trend for this type of sensor in mobile phones and maybe wants to show the way to anyone serious about photo quality in their serious digital cameras, but what they only manage (thanks to dpreview as well) is to fail in their most important task at the moment which is, of course, to make their name synonymous (in people's mind) with great photographic tools.
(PS. sorry about the long sentence. This is a very Greek way of writing)
I may choose the S4, too, as far as I've seen preview, the camera quality seems to be very decent.
The comparison tool is very helpful.
@Cartagena Photo:
Even more amazing is the fact that the Samsung Galaxy S4 features "only" the Exmor R (not RS) sensor!
Either sony built a "new" sensor that is way worse than the old one (with same MP), or they failed at some software "optimazations"(post-processing) at the camera of the Xperia Z.
Not sure I'll ever understand trends.
A five-inch screen? Does it double as a tray at fast food restaurants? If I wanted a tablet I'd buy a tablet.
Sticking with my easy-to-manage, more-apps-than-I-could-ever-use Iphone 4s.
If people don't like smaller screens they can always wear glasses. I use full internet browser and can see it just fine.
I'm 44.
But you're comparing a D800 with a D70 from Jan 2004. With sensor and processor technology from 9 years ago.
And also you're comparing a full frame sensor with an apsc sensor. 860mm2 vs 370mm2. With more than double the sensor size, it's not a fair comparsion.
A more appropriate comparison would be a D800 with a D4. 36 mp vs 16 mp and the 16mp camera is the true professional camera.
Also bringing up your D800 with an 860mm2 sensor in a phone cam section argueing about megapixels is not really fair.
Most(not all) higher end phone cams (Galaxy, iphone 4s&5, HTC 1) have sensor size of less than 16mm2.
That's over 50 times difference.
If a phone cam has the pixel density of the D800 it would only have 0.6mp.
An easy to understand analogy from Lars, yet so many seem to miss the point. The point being in general, that what we found perfect in the past, had a context. The context being the norm and stage of technology as a reference. Both are ever changing, as does what we feel fits our needs best. Experiencing change is the only way to know what you could be missing.
A shame, knowing that their own sensor can do so much better in terms of detail and even in low light. See the S4 (compare the Z and S4 at GSMArena). The S4 shows that with better processing, the 13 MP sensor can take much cleaner and still much more detailed pictures than the 8 MP sensor found in the S3. Which means that more MP isn't the real problem. Processing is.
I still use my two year old Nokia N8 for casual shooting, which still has a better camera than most phones currently out.
One should note that the Xperia Z still works under water (*)
Try doing that to its nearest competitor ... *bzzzt*
(*) provided it isn't sea water or anything else that isn't pure H2O
Yeah, can you make calls under water???
No, but can a dead phone make calls????
13 mp on a phone with a tiny sensor is ridiculous. Who needs 13 mp on a phone?
Just a huge ugly grainy file.
I'd never buy a Sony anything. Who said Leica is an expensive camera? Leica should make phones or at least supply lenses for them...that'd be a hit for sure!
Yes, retro is so cool these days....
Do i have the phone for you, Motorola i885 Flip phone now that is retro
As long as you can get a Noct on it, I'm buying it !
They ain't using the darn thing correctly ...
Perhaps he means they aren't using Instagram to take the pictures :) Their marks mean nothing if you are just going to slap some filter on the picture and show it on a web page anyway.
such a shame from a manufacturer that brought us ground breaking cameras like the RX100.
Well it is just a camera phone, what do you expect? Downsized to your typical 800px web resolution or a 4x6" print, the images look pretty good for a phone. Many of the issues such as sharpening etc.. that it is knocked for at a pixel level work in it's favor for small prints, the web, and a phone's intended use. Acutance is more important than texture at these small sizes. Considering what most phone cameras are used for, it's more than adequate. I had an Xperia X10 and it's 8mp camera wasn't very good, but worked ok for the above said uses and this one is better.
When phones catch up to the basic IQ level of things like a Fuji x10 or Sony RX100 (about the lowest quality for anything serious), then these tests are splitting hairs. We have at least 5 years until a phone will make a quality small enlargement (8x10). The 5mp camera on my Motorola is unusable for even the web, so I'd say the Sony did quite well for it's intended use. Others may be better, but not good enough to matter.
SHood, in many ways they are. The camera is just one aspect of a phone, and one of the smaller aspects. It's primary use is as a phone, and it does good at that. The basic waterproofing is nice since it can take a light drop in the water. I know many people who have killed their iPhone due to an accidental dunk in the river or lake. As an over all package, it's a great phone and the camera works well for what it is intended to be used for. If you need anything more IQ wise, there is no substitute for a real camera. I think some people are expecting too much from a phone when it comes to the performance of the camera. That's why cameras like RX100, x10, Coolpix A, Sigma DP's, smaller m4/3's, Nikon 1 etc.. Are taking off because of the ultra portability (compared to a DSLR) along with the performance compared to a phone. The phone has replaced cheap P&S cams for those who don't require great IQ. But most enthusiasts still use a real stand alone camera and will until the phone catches up.
It´s not just the camera, the screen is also bad.
Compared to e.g. LG 4xHD it really shows it´s shortcomings despite higher res. (I have both so I know). It is very uncomfortable to hold and you can´t change battery. Only good thing about it is native USB host.... hyped POS.

Ok...I have sort of run out of planning time for this month. I still haven't been able to find a Sponsor, or another venue to hold the meeting. I know some people mentioned conference rooms, but I can't recall who those people were.
What do you all think about rescheduling this meeting for October 27th?
If you really want to meet this month, that is fine too. We can plan on meeting the 24th at a restaurant again like last time. Thoughts?

WORK is due to start soon on building a new £153,000 headquarters for Camberley West Guides' Company.
Surrey Heath Council has paved the way by agreeing a new 21-year lease for the site at Crabtree Park.
National Lottery bosses would only agree to hand over a £123,600 grant if the lease was signed.
A further £5,000 has been pledged by the Frimley Fuel Allotments Charity, and £2,000 by the council.
The company intends to build its new headquarters on the site of its present hut which is well past its sell-by date.

From A Short Meow To A Long Purr
You Check My Mistakes
You are my ace in the hole who guides me from wrong to right
You give me a heads up if I am on the right track
With a nudge you knock the papers off my desk when you are not happy
When I am in groove you just sit comfortable with your back turned as if your not paying any attention
But I know better
You confidently let me strike the keys one after another
Until you feel it neccesary to turn and give me more advice
Sometimes you will surprise me with a continious head rub to the side of the computer shelf or a head butt giving me a strong influence telling me to press on
Other times you just give me a silent side look not to give up
Walking in front of me and giving a long stretch
Telling me to clear my head and start fresh
It is amazing how you talk to me
As you wag your tail in front of my key board giving me more direction and to ask me what are you doing now ?
When you perk up I know I am on a roll
A quick yawn showing me you are board and my writing needs more impovement
Then with a little stir and a turn that is all I wait for as a final sign to wrap it up and I have said all there is to be said
Thanks once again with all your help I learned how to write a better story today
Sometimes they can be so affectionate and yet remain so independent... well written...
Brilliant. I sooooo love cats and they DO talk to us!!!
Take care.
Hi Dream on, cat's are such good company and they are so knowledgeable, they know exactly what's going on!

Immunogenetics of Type 1 Diabetes
The HLA DQ locus is the major genetic risk factor for both type 1 diabetes and celiac disease. Both diseases are also linked to several non−HLA candidate genes, which may modify risk. Several but different etiological factors in the environment have also been implicated in the disease risk for type 1 diabetes and celiac disease. The pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes is strongly associated with the appearance of autoantibodies against GAD65, IA−2, ZnT8 and insulin, alone or in combination. Our laboratory cloned human islet GAD65 and developed a novel assay now in worldwide use to detect these autoantibodies and other autoantibodies such as those against tissue transglutaminase that predict celiac disease.

cranberry,raisin,walnut stuffing
Julie Bowden
we love the taste and flavour blends in this. I do a double batch of stuffing in 2 separate 9x13 pans. One is with the cranberries walnuts and raisins- the other is just a basic stuffing recipe. The cranberry one is usually the ones first finished. Since we celebrate with my sister in law and her family- we are usually 12* and sometimes up to 24.Between her stuffing that she makes in a brown bag and mine there usually isn't stuffing left to spare. Enjoy!

Meet a Guru: Osho
May 14, 2013 by 5 Comments
To be honest, at this point the only thing I know about Osho is that he is a controversial figure. That made me curious, so I'm going to do some research and find out more...BackgroundIt seems that young Osho (born Chandra Mohan Jain) was a thinker and liked to question authority. He claimed enlightenment when he was 21 years old (note: I've always been taught that if someone claims to be enlightened, that's a pretty good indicator that they aren't. A holy man shows his holiness, he … [Read more...]

The first big benefit bass tournament of the year is in the books, and it was one for the books.
Brad Duplessis teamed with Ty James to win Fishing for Tucker with a five-fish stringer weighing out at 23.52 pounds.
"We went to the lower end of the (Atchafalaya) Spillway, down there a pretty good ways and found really clear water and a bunch of structure," Duplessis said.
It was more than that, more than their solid four-pound and five-pound bass that have to make up a stringer that tops 20 pounds, more than the 96 boats that turned out to raise money for five-year-old Tucker Townsend and his battle with mitochondrial disorder.
Fishing for Tucker is one in the latest of "trailer" competitions, which allow fishermen to check out of one of several locations, trailer to their favorite fishing hole only to make sure they check in at a single designated site — in this case Cabela's in Gonzelas — later in the day.
In this case, the Duplessis-James catch was needed to take home the two-grand in top prize money.
Breathing down their necks was the team of Tom and TJ Goins and their 22-pound catch and three more stringers that topped 20 pounds.
What's more, the tournament showed there are big bass to be caught from south Louisiana waters. Gerald Spohrer and Tre' Gautreau showed up with a 6.44 pounder that took the $500 big-bass top money. Rob Hernandez and Rudy Gautreaux had a 6.31 pounder for second and the Goinses topped their stringer with a 6.19 pounder.
Among the top 15 teams' big bass, there were four five-pound bass and five more four pounders, and it took a 16.28-pound total to make the top 15.
"Friday, the day before the tournament, my little brother and I went to (Lake) Verret and it as super muddy," Duplessis said. "We went to the spillway and found clean water and caught 36 fish, 31 of them keepers (14 or more inches long). We probably had 17 pounds (Friday), but didn't beat the good cover. We saved it for the tournament."
Duplessis saved his next informational nugget for the die-hard bass angler: "We caught them on buzzbaits...(I) made three or four casts and caught the first five pounder of the day.
"We stayed with that (buzzbaits) for a little while longer and knew that (the buzzbaits) were showing us where the bass were," he explained.
After that, he said the team switched to soft plastics and worked on fish closer to the bottom.
"There was nice grass in the area, but we took most of the fish off cypress trees," Duplessis said. "It was the best stringer I've ever caught. The smallest fish was four pounds and the biggest was 5.63.
"It was god to find some fish like that in the Spillway. We had two awesome days and we caught them in places where I caught fish with my grandfather many years ago. It was good to go back and catch that stringer in places where I cut my teeth fishing."
Tournament organizer Ryan Lavigne said the other top stringers came from such diverse places as Lake Cataouatche, Des Allemands, Venice and Delacroix.
"The star of the day, little Tucker Townsend, did not disappoint the crowd either. He showed up, pulled door prize names, and thanked everyone for coming out," Lavigne said, noting that the youngster's condition didn't allow him to attend the inaugural tournament.
"We were able to raise roughly $20,500 for Tucker," Lavigne said. "Thanks to the fishermen and to Cabela's hosting the Kids Fishing Derby (Saturday). It was a hit with around 45 kids competing. Our gratitude goes to the fishermen...and to all of the great people at Cabela's," Lavigne said.
CHBC applications
Children's Hospital Bass Classic organizer Gary Cross said applications for the March 3 benefit tournament out of Doiron's Landing in Stephensville have been distributed and are available at Cabela's in Gonzales, Doiron's and Children's Hospital locations in Baton Rouge, Lafayette and New Orleans.
Entry fee is $250 for the pick-your-partner tournament with $12,500 in first-place prize money and $1,250 for the team catching the heaviest bass.

Areola photo after I removed tape. Look ok? (photo)
Doctor Answers 3
Nothing alarming from your photo
with continued wound care as you are doing but you should let your surgeon know of your concerns and ask what is causing that crease in the areola itself.
Wound healing issue
Thank you for your question and photo. You appear to have a small area of wound separation which is not uncommon. You are doing all the right things. Keeping the area clean, applying antibiotic ointment and keeping it covered. There does not appear to be any evidence of infection. It should heal uneventfully.
Be sure to express your concerns to your surgeon. That's what he/she is there for.
Best wishes,

Areola photo after I removed tape. Look ok?
I answered a previous question you posted, please see that answer below. It does appear that there are some areas that have some issues with healing. I would advise seeing your plastic surgeon ASAP and following his or her instructions.
Thank you for your picture and questions. If there are some unhealed areas, these areas can produce some ongoing drainage. If you are concerned that there is an underlying problem, you should contact your plastic surgeon and be seen so the incisions can be examined.
Best of luck!

Suppose you have something like this mess: (*)
namespace XYZ.DEF
public class GHI {}
namespace QRS.DEF.GHI
public class JKL { }
... in another file ...
using QRS;
namespace TUV
using XYZ;
namespace ABC
namespace DEF
class GHI { }
class MNO : DEF.GHI.JKL { }
And now we must work out the base type of MNO.
With no backtracking we say "The nearest container of MNO that has a member DEF is ABC, therefore DEF means ABC.DEF". Therefore GHI is ABC.DEF.GHI. Therefore JKL is ABC.DEF.GHI.JKL, which does not exist, therefore, give an error. The developer must fix the error by giving a type name that lets the compiler identify which DEF you meant.
If we had backtracking, what would we have to do? We'd get that error, and then we'd backtrack. Does XYZ contain a DEF? Yes. Does it contain a GHI? Yes. Does it contain a JKL? No. Backtrack again. Does QRS contain an DEF.GHI.JKL? Yes.
That works, but can we logically conclude from the fact that it works that it is the one the user meant?
Who the heck knows in this crazy situation? We got all kinds of good bindings in there that then went bad very late in the game. The idea that we stumbled upon the desired answer after going down so many blind alleys seems highly suspect. Maybe there is yet another choice in there that is the one the user meant. We cannot know that unless we try all of them, and again, that could involve a lot of searching.
The correct thing to do here is not to backtrack multiple times and try out all kinds of worse bindings for every stage of the lookup. The correct thing to do is to say "buddy, the best possible match for this lookup gives nonsensical results; give me something less ambiguous to work with here please."
An unfortunate fact about writing a language where the compiler by design complains loudly if the best match is something that doesn't work, is that developers frequently say "well, sure, in general I want the compiler to point out all my mistakes -- or, rather, all my coworker's mistakes. But for this specific case, I know what I am doing, so please, compiler, do what I mean, not what I say."
Trouble is, you can't have it both ways. You can't have both a compiler that both enforces rigid rules that make it highly likely that suspicious code will be aggressively identified as erroneous and allow crazy code via compiler heuristics that figure out "what I really meant" when you write something that the compiler quite rightly sees as ambiguous or wrong.
I could discuss many more places where we could do backtracking but do not. Method type inference, for example, always either makes progress or fails; it never backtracks in C# (**). But I think I will leave it at that. Except to say that there is one place where we do use backtracking, and that's analysis of overload resolution in nested lambdas. I wrote about that here.
(*) When reading this remember that in C#, "namespace XYZ.DEF { }" is a short form for "namespace XYZ{ namespace DEF { } }"
(**) Unlike in, say, F#.

To think that if all interaction with schools is down to me, then I get to make decisions(61 Posts)
1. My DC are in independent schools and likely to stay that way. If that offends you, I am sorry but that's the way it is.
2. I am a FT WOHM. Ditto.
That said, I have all the interaction with school. I set up a meeting with school re DS. I just had to explain to DH why I set the meeting up. His reaction was to say that he should take the lead, and now he has stomped off because I didn't agree, given that we don't agree on the desired outcome.
(Disclaimer 3 - wine has been taken. On both sides. I still don't think IABU though)
2 days until meeting. Do I compromise or risk disagreeing in front of HT?
No not seen the WOHM thread. Was genuine query. Don't understand why it would be an issue for anyone. Off to see if I can find it.
Btw I make all decisions re dc re school. But if dh expressed an interest would include him. Actually think it's nice he wants to be involved. So yabu.
Forago - this (academic) year is Y7, next year is Y8 V1, following year is Y8 for real.
I'm intrigued about the wohm thread. I work full time and get a lot of shit.
I'm confused
thick tho. What an independent school? An academy or a private school?
Someone up thread said you should be a team effort! Sounds great on paper, if you think it can be done
Sober discussions called for. No arguing in front of ht.
joybee its a thread called something like aibu to accept this great job offer without people being judgy. it started off as quite a reasonable and interesting debate about jobs, children, lifestyles etc but then
descended into the usual tedious "your children are neglected because you work" "you are being mean to sahms" tedium.
thanks for the explanation OP. I skipped year 8 funnily enough as a child, wouldn't choose it for my children. seems a shame to make him repeat when he doesn't need to. will no schools take him a year before?
What is an independent school**
I made myself sound even more thick then, so I had to correct.
Oh I did see that thread. That's taking it to an extreme tho. Being away from a child four days a week cannot be compared to my standard 7-4.30 job.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
What's WOHM? Sorry I don't have a clue
Forago - senior schools would be reluctant to accept him a year early, and I would be reluctant to send him. Current school is small and flexible enough that skipping/repeating years is not unusual, so DS is quite happy with the concept. Meeting is really me anticipating problems before they occur (and happening now so that we can talk to both current head and the head who will take over in September), as I know he will be unhappy if (a) bored, or (b) pushed too hard when he knows full well he doesn't have a scholarship exam at the end of next year. It's a tricky line to walk. The challenge is that I think I am better placed to liase with the school to make sure we walk it right and rebalance as needed, and DH clearly think he is
even though he only knows what is going on on a day to day basis because I go out of my way to tell him
Tequila : working outside home mother (FT working mother)
Corus: LOL. Yes, you just went straight to the core of what wound me up, I think.
What does your DS want to do stealth?
ZigZag - that's the thing. I asked DS if he was worried about this time next year when all his friends are starting to do all the "leavers" stuff and his answer was that no, he wasn't, because he would join the year below and have a whole term of no academic pressure, in which he can do all the stuff he doesn't have enough time for (art, drama, music).
I just want to make sure that happens. DH seems to think he doesn't need a "gap term".
So your DH wants to take the lead so the school do what he wants them to do rather than what you want them to do? You all need to agree and I would include your DS in that.
Can't help but feel a little sorry that at 12 your son already feels he has too little time for art, drama and music.
No, Anomaly - DH is just talking about the meeting.
And yes, me too, but he wants to do everything (loads of sport, too) and it doesn't all fit (he's 11 BTW)
I think the real problem is that, so far, you have been expected to sort out DSs education, such as parents evenings, replying to any letters that get sent home, general day to day interactions.
Your DH has only been involved because YOU have supplied him with the information which shows a lack of interest on his part .
All if a sudden he has decided that he wants to 'take over ' this role.
I could be completely wrong here but I would feel a lot if resentment if my DH suddenly decided to get involved with our DCs education after showing little interest over the past few years.
Does that make any sense?
Your dh needs a kick up the butt. He is not a superior being because he has a penis.
So far the school have been right about where he fits and have also been right about the sports, also it sounds like ds is not the first child they have done this with.
If anyone should take the lead it is the school.
I really can't see why DH should have some sort of automatic right to 'take the lead'. Why does he think he does? This isn't some sort of knee-jerk "because I'm the man" thing, is it? I'd have thought if you can't reach agreement prior to the meeting, you need at least to present it to the school on the basis that these are the alternatives and you are asking their opinion: they presumably know what works best within their environment, and indeed what is the best preparation for the next school.
One of my rants is that children do tend to get channelled too much down the academic route. For instance, I can never see the point in academic children doing 10 A levels or whatever: they don't need the extra qualifications, and rather than doing, say, six unnecessary tightly-defined exam courses, it would be much better for them to do some research or in-depth study of something that really interests them. So instinctively I agree with you, OP; after all, if he is doing art, drama and music he can certainly include the academic basis for all three subjects and they would contribute very well to his CV, if that's necessary.
Is it y8 v1 that is the "extra" year? Or are you going to slack off just before common entrance?
I'd be tempted to make Y7 the repeat, if possible, and not what your already planning!
Could CV building, whilst having fun, include things like obtaining grade X in an instrument, or a dance qualification, art certificate, if such things exist at an appropriate level for him? Meets both of your requirements.
I think if you know more about the possibilities and options, you taking the lead is more sensible, but that could mean priming DH with all the info so he can look like the one in the trousers in front of the headmasters (the outgoing one will already know who is the dairy organiser!)
Sorry, drama, rather than dance!
Sorry both parents are the parents so both gave equal rights on decisions imvho.
I am a sahp,don't see that I should get to make all the decisions just because dp can't do the school run.
I generally take my lead from school(state) after voicing any concerns if making decisions(rarely happens) as they generally will be be the more knowledgable of what is best.Maybe private schools are different.
I'd both put your views across and see what school have to say.
It might be worthwhile working out the points you wish to cover, and then deciding who will deal with each point.
And also to have one person providing a summary of the meeting and points agreed (along with areas where there is no agreement) and what is going to happen next.
That way you are both involved and clear about what is going to happen. It also means the meeting is structured and you can ensure all your points are covered - plus you are both participating!
Maybe one person opens the meeting with a statement about why you are there and what you hope to achieve and the other provides the summary?
This is why missing nursery is so unusual, it creates this problem! How does your ds feel about it all? That would be my biggest concern.
After that, why can he not have a mix of the two approaches? He absolutely needs to keep continuing academically, I don't see how he can be expected to just switch off for a full year and then get fully back into it thereafter. However having a balance between different activities would be wonderful for him. Can school accomodate that though? If so independent schooling sounds blissful to me (although I don't know what it actually is, we don't have it where I am unless Rupert Steiner counts).
Your dh is being unreasonable in my opinion!! This is a joint thing between you, him, ds and school.
I'm still not sure what is actually happening, I get that your ds is going to repeat year 8- but is he just going to do the same lessons over again? Won't that be crashingly boring? It's all very well saying he will do loads more drama and stuff- but who I he going to do it with? Presumably his classmates will all be working hard for common entrance?
And what specifically does your Dp want him to be doing?
We both work full time but at a normal school. Dh and I do everything to do with the school together and attend everything together
Agree, Year 8 is probably not the best to repeat since there is very little new teaching and an awful lot of exam preparation and past papers. After exams there are eoy trips and activities which won't mean so much to your ds if he isn't leaving with that year group and needs to got through it all again. Presumably your intended secondary either doesn't have an earlier intake than year 9 ? If it did could he leave a year earlier and be placed in Year8 at the new school, so get a different experience and established among that peer group?

Asamoah Gyan is appealing to the public and football followers to stop creating a rivalry between Andre Ayew and him.
There have been reports that the West Ham United attacker has been eyeing the captaincy of the Black Stars and has therefore created tension between him and the Black Stars skipper.
However, Gyan has advised the public to refrain from fuelling any tension in the team, since he has a cordial relationship with Andre Ayew.
''I don't have a problem with Andre. He has been my friend way back, since he joined the national team, I have been his inspiration,'' Gyan told Joy FM
''Sometimes people try to bring this rivalry between two Stars in the team. We have seen this before in the olden days but I always try to keep things real, I don't have any problem with Ayew.
''He's a great guy, a fighter on the field and plays with his heart.
''My advice t people is to stop putting this rivalry between two players who are good to each other. People should stop because when they do that, It brings conflict to the team which there is unity and will not help the team.''

...all of this was explained in the last few episodes.
Zero Requiem came about largely due to Lelouch's guilt over his "mistakes" - mainly, things like Euphie's death, Shirley's death, Nunnally's supposed death, etc. None of these were his fault, but he still blamed himself. And, by that point, his life basically had no value to him. He'd lost everything. Euphie died, Shirley died, Nunnally supposedly died, the Black Knights betrayed him, and everything he'd fought for with regard to avenging his mother's death turned out to be a lie. (Ironic, considering that Charles and V.V. - and Marianne, by extension - were trying to create a world without lies.) So the least he could do was go out with a bang and at least try to make the world a better place for the few he cared about who were still alive. So that Nunnally's dream would be realized, even if she wasn't around to experience it.
Toward these purposes, Lelouch usurped the Britannian throne and took over the world. He made himself look like a tyrant in order to make the whole world hate him. Then, by removing that hate, by having Zero publicly assassinate him, the world could be united for once in peace, and Zero would be raised up to a symbol of justice. By all accounts, it should've failed, but it's Lelouch, so he pulled it off.
As for Suzaku's reasons for helping...well, to start with, he'd originally wanted to kill Lelouch in the first place after what happened to Euphie, largely because he wasn't aware of the context. For that same reason, he wanted for Lelouch to repent. And, really, he wanted his own chance to redeem himself for everything he'd done, which he got by taking on the role of Zero, defender of justice. And it didn't hurt that part of the purpose was to redeem Euphie's name...it's hard to remember to hate the massacre princess when the demon emperor is far more menacing.

Fairbanks AL (SPX) Jul 23, 2014
Freezing and thawing might not be good for the average steak, but it seems to help wood frogs each fall as they prepare to survive Alaska's winter cold.
"Alaska wood frogs spend more time freezing and thawing outside than a steak does in your freezer and the frog comes back to life in the spring in better shape than the steak," said Don Larson, University of Alaska Fairbanks graduate student and lead author on a recent paper demonstrating that freeze tolerance in Alaska wood frogs is more extreme than previously thought.
Although wood frogs are well-studied freeze-tolerant amphibians, Larson's research is believed to be the first to examine the frogs under natural conditions.
In subarctic Interior Alaska, wood frogs overwinter in the ground covered by duff and leaf litter, creating a hibernacula, where temperatures can remain below freezing for more than six months with minimum temperatures of minus four (minus 20 Celsius).
Tracking wood frogs to their natural hibernacula, and using a fenced hibernacula in the Biological Reserve north of the UAF campus, Larson and co-author Brian Barnes, director of the UAF Institute of Arctic Biology and an expert in cold-climate physiology, wanted to know how cold and how long Alaska's wood frogs could survive in their natural habitat.
"Imagine what happens when you suck on a freeze pop," said Larson. "After you've sucked out all the sweet stuff, you're left with just ice. That's what happens to cells when they freeze. As ice formation pulls the water out of cells, the cells desiccate or dry out and eventually die."
Frogs prevent this freeze-pop effect by packing their cells with glucose (a kind of sugar) that reduces drying and stabilizes cells, a process scientists call cryoprotection.
"Concentrating sugar inside the cell helps balance the concentration of salts outside the cell that occurs as ice forms," said Barnes. "Less water leaves the cell than if sugar was not present and sugar and other cryoprotectants are thought to "hold" water inside the cell."
The curious thing Larson discovered is that when wood frogs are outside in their natural environment they accumulate much higher concentrations of glucose in their tissues than do frogs frozen in the lab.
Glucose concentrations in the outside frogs were 13-fold higher in muscle tissue, 10-fold higher in heart tissue and 3.3-fold higher in liver tissue compared to lab-frozen frogs, as described in their paper published in the Journal of Experimental Biology.
This extra protection enabled frogs to survive colder temperatures for a longer time than scientists previously thought, but Larson and Barnes wondered how they accumulated so much glucose?
Larson thinks the process that creates freezer burn on a frozen steak gives frogs the ability to survive being frozen at minimum temperatures below zero (minus 18 Celsius) for up to 218 days with 100 percent survival.
Frogs collected from sites in the Eastern U.S. and Canada have previously been shown to only survive being frozen for a few weeks and to no lower than about 19 degrees (minus 7.2 Celsius).
"In the field in early Autumn it's freezing during the night, thawing slightly during the day, and these repeated freezing episodes stimulate the frogs to release more and more glucose," Larson said.
"It's not warm enough for long enough for the frog to reclaim much of that glucose and over time it accumulates giving the frog more protection against cell damage."
Lab-frozen frogs are held at a constant temperature and without the freeze-thaw cycles Larson observed in the wild and so the frogs made glucose only when they initially froze and that was that.
"Whether the extremes in freezing tolerance in Alaska frogs as compared to more southern populations are due to patterns of temperature change during freezing or are due to genetic differences, and thereby represent evolutionary change, awaits further study," said Barnes.
The feats of freezing frogs are more than just a curiosity and may one day have application in the science of human organ transplantation.
"If science can figure out how to freeze human organs without damage it would allow more time to reach people in need of organs," said Larson.
This research was funded by the National Science Foundation.

Professor Finzel to serve as interim dean
Posted by Elaine Simonds-Jaradat on Tuesday, Jun. 28, 2011
Growing up south of Detroit in the harsh economic climate of the 1970s, Bart Finzel always wanted to understand economics and use that knowledge to help working people become more resilient in times of economic change.
He followed that path as an educator for more than 25 years and is currently professor of economics and management at Morris. Now the newly appointed interim vice chancellor for academic affairs and dean wants to help the University through its own hard financial times by leveraging our exceptional human capital.
"Morris is one of the most remarkable stories in higher education," Finzel says. He intends not to let that awareness get lost amid the budget woes hitting higher education as a whole. Instead, he advocates celebrating strengths and allowing them to carry us forward to new heights.
Finzel sought the position, he says, because people he respects encouraged him. And he has some specific ideas about where to begin. The dean's role is to enable faculty to accomplish their objectives, Finzel insists, and his first priority will be to secure the resources and support they need to realize their goals. He embraces his two-year appointment as just enough time to propose an incremental, long-term vision and is counting on his "tenacious" nature to see his plans through.
"As a campus, we need to advocate more strongly for academic programs," Finzel continues. "Our mission shouldn't change, but we need to move forward." Finzel also wants to begin a conversation about cooperation across disciplinary lines and how different disciplines relate.
Currently the Center for Small Towns interim director, Finzel has enjoyed working with the Morris community. "I really love Morris," he enthuses, because small towns "can realize the agency of individuals." Pivoting to the internal constituency will give him a panoramic perspective on the University's place in the world.
Serving on the Morris faculty since earning a doctorate in economics from Cornell in 1989, Finzel has taught a host of economics courses ranging from labor economics to gender economics to environmental economics, as well as management courses. He helped developed Morris's curriculum for the multi-institution Mellon Foundation funded Global Issues Honors Consortium, for which he served as faculty coordinator.
The recipient of several research grants, he also holds the all-University Horace T. Morse—University of Minnesota Alumni Association Award for Outstanding Contributions to Undergraduate Education Award and the University of Minnesota, Morris Alumni Association Teaching Award.

Pyrovatex® was developed by the Swiss based company Ciba. Pyrovatex® provides maximum protection against heat and flame combined with superior comfort at a very affordable price. This FRC material is treated cotton and it retains it's softness and breathability with the added bonus of the ability to wick moisture away from the skin.
Pyrovatex® cloth is excellent for those with sensitive skin. The fabric is gentle and non-irritating. It has been laboratory tested using live subjects with particularly sensitive skin. Testing has been conducted by San Francisco Medical Center University of California, Canton Hospital Zurich, Dermatology University, Food and Drug Research Lab. Inc.Conshocken, Pa USA and more. Testing showed that none of the tested individuals had any negative skin reactions after contact with the skin for prolonged periods of time. Pyrovatex® fabric is gentle and non-irritating to even the most sensitive skin.
Since the cotton material treatment process with Pyrovatex® is absorbed into the cotton fibers, with proper care; the garment will retain its flame retardant properties beyond the useful life of the garment. The treatment process leaves the exterior surface soft and shiny.

Description: 'He should have seen it coming. His life had been one mishap after another. So he should have been prepared for this one...' Julian Treslove, a professionally unspectacular and disappointed BBC worker, and Sam Finkler, a popular Jewish philosopher, writer and television personality, are old school friends. Despite a prickly relationship and very different lives, they've never quite lost touch with each other - or with their former teacher, Libor Sevick, a Czechoslovakian always more concerned with the wider world than with exam results. Now, both Libor and Finkler are recently widowed, and with Treslove, his chequered and unsuccessful record with women rendering him an honorary third widower, they dine at Libor's grand, central London apartment. It's a sweetly painful evening of reminiscence in which all three remove themselves to a time before they had loved and lost; a time before they had fathered children, before the devastation of separations, before they had prized anything greatly enough to fear the loss of it. Better, perhaps, to go through life without knowing happiness at all because that way you had less to mourn? Treslove finds he has tears enough for the unbearable sadness of both his friends' losses. And it's that very evening, at exactly 11:30pm, as Treslove hesitates a moment outside the window of the oldest violin dealer in the country as he walks home, that he is attacked. After this, his whole sense of who and what he is will slowly and ineluctably change. The Finkler Questionis a scorching story of exclusion and belonging, justice and love, ageing, wisdom and humanity. Funny, furious, unflinching, this extraordinary novel shows one of our finest writers at his brilliant best.

2008 Ford Focus Sedan - Consumer Review

What a great car!
By F. B. on
Vehicle2008 Ford Focus S 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
ReviewI have been driving my Focus for about three weeks now and must say that this is a great car. This car is very responsive, comfortable, quiet and fun to drive. I am 18 years old and a car enthusiast. For the money the Focus is a lot of bang for the buck. I test drove a Nissan Sentra 2.0 and a Toyota Corolla CE but wasn't impressed at how exciting the cars were compared to the Focus. Fuel economy is obviously great because this is a small car. I didn't get the sync system because I do not even have an ipod but I hear that it's a great feature. I would highly recommend this car to other young drivers who need a fun and affordable small car.
Best FeaturesIce blue lighting, front facia, responsive steering, quiet ride, center instrument panel, front bucket seats, large trunk
Worst FeaturesGet rid of the cheesy side vents on the SE and SES models, offer more interior colors, offer more attractive wheels, add rear seat headrests and grab handles above every window like its competitors, make power windows and locks standard

From the - internet. i really liked yours simply because it had the idea nobody else has ever thought of in a silent hill game which is skip the combat and focus more on puzzles and storyline. so yeah. thats the winner, if you don't like it, shut up and take it cause not many people commented. on to a new topic. i am in LOVE with the SAW franchise, and i want to know if you are to. if you are, which one is your favorite and if you're not, why don't you? it's fucking AWESOME! (except the game - too many plotholes and it just looked like silent hill on steroids) let the games begin. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
