I am obsessed with nice smells, from my deodorant to my perfume I just love a strong scent that lasts most of the day.
Once I have my make-up on, my hair done and wearing something nice, the last thing I love to do is squirt myself with a delicious smelling perfume.
When I look for a perfume I absolutely hate how a sales assistant will come over and give you several different perfumes sprayed on to that tiny bit of card. Yes it smells amazing on the card but each perfume reacts differently to the individual. A perfume has to warm to your skin and even then, the same perfume can smell like a complete different one on someone else.
A few years ago I was in House of Fraser with my mum and while she was doing her usual (going through ever moisturiser and eye creams) I went to look at the YSL counter. The only thing I had ever had from YSL is the Touché Éclat (which I adore).
I had seen an advert for the new YSL perfume called Elle and really wanted to try it. On the front of the YSL counter they had a display of Elle. A soon as I smelt it I immediately loved it and when the woman on the counter wasn't looking I bathed myself in it. (I am a monkey for doing this).
YSL Description..
A fragrance for an unpredictable and unique woman, in tune with her every desire.
Unpredictable and unusual, Elle is the very essence of Yves Saint Laurent femininity. Elle is the incarnation of a unique and up-to-the-minute chic style. Free to choose, rich in contrasts, strengthened by its contradictions... Elle experiences its passions, all of its passions, fully, without concession. Elle fulfils all of its desires...
YSL Description of Fragrance
A fresh, colourful and infinitely feminine opening of cedar wood gives this fragrance its luminosity. A hint of lychee offers its boldness and peony delicately softens it. Last but not least, pink berries combined in the middle notes with freesia create a fusion of olfactory opposites.
A fragrance bursting with femininity and audaciousness where floral and woody notes blend and mingle together.
Peony - Pink Berries - Patchouli.
After a few minutes of wearing YSL Elle it began to warm to my skin. Now I cannot describe exactly what it smells like as like I've stated every perfume smells different on each person, but on me Elle has a musky floral smell with a hint of spices and ginger.
Whilst wearing this I have has so many compliments on how lovely I smell and since buying my first bottle have gone through 3 more.
Every now and then I give YSL Elle a brake and change to a different perfume but I always end up going back to it and adoring it all over again.
As for the bottle, well it's beautiful.
It comes in a rich purple bottle with a gold bit on the front with YSL in purple engraved on it. It has an expensive elegant look and stands pride of place on my dressing table.
With any perfume I wouldn't recommend you reading this then go out and buy it, but I do suggest next time you're looking for a perfume try YSL Elle. Don't be hasty (as there is nothing worse than buying a new perfume then getting home and realising you don't like it). Don't be shy to ask for a sample, if they haven't got one then give your wrists a spray and leave it to warm on you while you carry on shopping. Only then will you know it is the one for you.
If once you've decided you love it just like me, then you are in for a treat.
The scent lasts all day and you don't need to use a lot, so the bottle lasts for ages.
It's the perfect perfume to use day or night.

Hope this helps!

This perfume has lasted me 3 years and i still have at least a quarter of the 50ml bottle left. It carries a sweet and not overpowering smell which lasts all day with just a few sprays. Even though, it is getting more expensive as time goes by, it is still worth it. With Yves Saint Laurent, you know that you are getting fantastic quality because it is such a high named, well-known brand across the World. I would say that this is possibly the most beautiful YSL perfume because i literally wear it every day. It is the type of perfume which people ask "Ooh, what are you wearing? It's lovely", where you then say that it is Elle by YSL (of course). I then purchased a 50ml bottle for my mother because she loved it. It is a great gift, because it lasts so long and smells beautiful.
YSL elle
At a recent trip to boots I saw that they had slashed the price of YSL elle to £31.33 from £47. I had tried the perfume before and I had liked that the smell was quite intense. A 50ml bottle for £31.33 was really good in my opinion as YSL is a couture brand.
The bottle is made of glass and the lid is a gold coloured block. The famous YSL logo is embossed on two sides of the rectangular bottle. This side has an transparent glass and the other two sides are coloured a light purple. This is the eau du toillete version. The eau du parfum is a dark pink colour. The perfume is a white liquid and it is easy to see how much is left as the bottle is transparent. I have the 50ml version and this stands nice and tall but not too tall. The 30ml version is much smaller and looks like a miniature perfume in comparison. The bottle looks expensive and would look good on the dressing table.
The first time I sprayed the perfume there was an initial smell of lychee's. I fell in love with the perfume because the smell of the lychee's. On my skin there is the initial lychee smell and then it settles and becomes a little musky. The sweet and fruity lychee smell becomes a little spicy and musky after about 2-3 hours. The change in the smell is not one I like because I prefer the sweet and fruity smell as opposed to the spicy and musky smell. I thought that the smell would stay the same but with time it changes and becomes warmer. This isn't necessarily a bad thing but I like the lychee smell and I didn't want it to change. The smell also becomes flowery in the middle before turning musky and spicy.
The scent has a good staying power and lasts a good 7 hours before fading. I have worn the perfume to work and I have found that at the end of the day there is trace of the perfume. I do think though that the perfume may be better for formal evening wear rather than an everyday fragrance because it is quite intense, deep and musky.
The perfume is available as an edp and edt in 30ml, 50ml and 75ml sizes. It can be found in all major department stores and high street chemists. It is in my opinion more of a premium branded product as it is YSL so it isn't very easy to get the perfume at a discount price. The edt is on offer at boots for £31.33 at the moment.
I would have preferred the perfume to be lighter and sweeter so that I can wear it for work as this was my intention but I will now use it as an evening wear perfume .
My first introduction to the world of YSL fragrances was with the incredible Young Sexy Lovely. After falling in love with that, I knew I had to check out the other ones. This is just as good, if not better! The scent is spicy and floral and compliments me well. You only need a couple of sprays with this one as the scent is quite strong. I keep buying this one as it last quite a while. I highly recommend it! I got my sister onto this one, and my best friend.I've had a few compliments when wearing this too! Well worth it!!
As Christmas was approaching last year my mum asked me what I would like as a present. Normally she is very inspired and buys me unexpected but lovely gifts. However last year my father had been taken ill and so she could barely get to the shops as she needed to be at home with him and her normal shopping trips were cancelled. I actually did most of her shopping online for her but she wanted to buy my present herself. I told her that I needed some new perfume and that I fancied a change from the one I was currently using. I knew her local chemist stocked a large range of fragrance so I knew she would have a nice choice.
On Christmas morning I received a very attractive gift box containing Yves Saint Laurent Elle Eau de Parfum spray and also a small shower gel and body lotion. I have no idea how much this gift set cost. A 30ml EDP spray seems to vary in price greatly at the moment and I have found it listed online from about £30.
"A fragrance for an unpredictable and unique woman, in tune with her every desire"- where do manufacturers get these taglines from?
The spray was presented in a 30ml size. The bottle is a rather vivid cerise pink with a gold coloured piece on the front and back with the letters YSL cut out. Although the colour is quite bright the bottle is a rather boring rectangular shape and so is not particularly feminine or attractive. However the simple design does mean that it is easy to hold when spraying and it sits nice and firmly on the bathroom shelf, it is not prone to falling over. The square cap is easy to remove but fits securely over the spray when it is not in use. I think the bottle looks a trifle old fashioned but I know a lot of people like the clean lines, I think it is the colour that puts me off.
On first spraying the perfume I was immediately surprised that the scent didn't appear to be very strong. There was a distinct woody smell but this was lifted by something else that seemed fresh but not particularly floral. On searching the manufacturer's website they state that the fragrance contains cedar wood, lychee and peony which would account for the fact that I couldn't quite decide if it was fruity or floral.
It didn't seem to take very long to mature on my skin and I decided that I quite liked the fragrance I was left with. There seemed to be a slightly more floral tone which wasn't too sweet after a while which I really liked. I couldn't pinpoint the fragrance but the manufacturers claim it is freesia which may account for why I like it as Freesias have always been my favourite flower and I love their scent.
Anyone who has read my other fragrance reviews will know that I hate musky scents as I take on the aroma of next doors Tomcat when I wear anything with even a hint of musk. I was very pleased when I realised that this delicate fragrance had no musky notes at all.
The only problem I have discovered with this fragrance really is the lack of longevity. I will spray it on in the morning, before work, and by lunchtime I don't think there is a lot of fragrance left. I know that it can be hard to smell scents on yourself after a while but I have asked my husband and my daughter if they can still smell it after a few hours and they say they can't. (I am not obsessive; I only asked them with regards to writing this review!). I don't carry perfume with me at work but I work in an environment where we are all in quite close proximity to each other and I like to feel that I smell pleasant as it soon becomes noticeable when someone doesn't!
Overall I would say that this is a nice, fresh, feminine fragrance. I use it as a day scent but it is probably not rich enough to make a good evening scent. It has hints of floral without being sickly sweet and it is just a shame that it doesn't last longer on the skin as it is not the cheapest of fragrances. I am glad mum chose this for me and if I see it on offer I may treat myself to another bottle.
Like most women I love perfume and I am always happy to receive a bottle as a present. I tend not to stick with the same fragrance, but like to try out different brands.
Last Christmas I was given a bottle of 'Elle' by Yves Saint Laurent, or YSL as it is now much more commonly known. I must admit that this was one bottle of perfume I did not open and try straight away. I had the idea in my head that YSL tended to manufacture perfume for the more mature lady.
Last week I decided it was time to give it a try. It was part of a gift set, which included body lotion. The packaging was lovely and the bottle itself really appealed to me. The bottle is a pretty, dark pink, colour, and the YSL logo is etched out on a gold coloured metal.
When I sprayed the perfume I immediately got a distinct aroma of ginger and wood, and this then settled down to a slightly flowery, gingery fragrance. I found that this perfume did take quite a good few minutes to settle down on my skin.
This is a fragrance that I will probably wear in the evenings, if I am going out somewhere. I do not think I would use it regularly during the day.
Despite my original opinion that YSL would be more suited to the more mature lady, I now have to admit that I got it wrong. This is a lovely fragrance for evenings and I will continue to use it.
I found that although I only sprayed a small amount, friends did ask what perfume I was wearing. The fragrance does last for a good few hours.
I have had a look around and have found that YSL is quite expensive and for a 50ml bottle it can cost around £55. This does vary from store to store. It is not as widely available as some other perfume brands but it can easily be purchased in Frasers, John Lewis, Debenhams and some larger Boots stores.
I first came across this fragrance in 'Elle' - the magazine as a sample. The scent immediately became my favourite. It has exactly what I look for in a perfume. It has woody notes of patchouli, vetiver and cedar, rose, freesia, litchi all of which give it a distinct aroma. The main words throughout this review will be modern, classic and sexy - because that's exactly what this perfume is!
The Packaging:
The bottle is hot pink with gold detailing. The YSL logo is carved out in an elegant gold bar. The bottle represents the perfume - it is simple, classic and at the same time sexy and modern. The rectangular shape and the hot pink bottle make it contemporary.
The Scent:
Most of the time I find Yves Saint Laurent fragrances too mature for me, but 'Elle' - whilst still having a strong, solid base - seems a little more modern. The marketing campaign with Coco Rocha has definitely tried to portray a younger, fresher, more modern yet quite masculine and strong image. This is a perfect perfume for the fall/winter season. I look for more fruity and floral scents in the summer and 'Elle' can be a bit too heavy or too strong for some. However it is not completely unwearable in the summer or spring.
The Lasting Power:
The perfume lasts a long time. When you spray it at first, the scent is quite strong and more 'masculine'. Throughout the day, as it evaporates, the more feminine, womanly and floral notes shine through.
This is one of my favourite perfumes. Although at £50 - £60 per 100ml it is not cheap I definitely think it is worth the price as it lasts you a long time and the fragrance is suitable for most situations (work, date, going out etc.). Plus you can look around for special offers or discounts - Boots usually have offers on gift sets at Christmas.
Saint Laurent was born in a place in Algeria in 1936. He was only just 17 when he won the first prize
in a contest which was organized by the wool industry to design a cocktail dress. A year later, in
1954, he went to fashion school and got to know Christian Dior and went to work for him. When
Dior died in 1957, Saint Laurent was 21 years of age and in charge of the Dior couture house. In
1961 he and Pierre Berge started his own brand with the now famous YSL initials. In 1964 Yves Saint
Laurent came with his first fragrance on the market.
Yves Saint Laurent Elle perfume was introduced in 2007. This fragrance was created by perfumers
Jacques Cavallier and Olivier Cresp. According to the manufacturer it is an unpredictable and unique
scent. It is a combined scent of flowers and woody notes. The ingredients for this fragrance are
peony, berry, litchi, patchouli, freesia, jasmine, vetiver and amber.
When you see the bottle of perfume you would suspect that it is pink, but appearances are
deceiving. It is colorless. If you spray the perfume it smells really like flowers, but after about fifteen
minutes the smell changes towards a more spice and wood scents. You can still smell the floral,
but not it is not so overpowering anymore. I would describe the scent as a warm aroma, which the
flowers make it also a bit fresher.
The bottle is long shaped and has graphic strong lines. The glass is pink but still transparent. On the
bottle is the logo in gold metal. The cap is square and golden in color. Under the cap you will find
the spray, which is also gold. The pink and gold together with the graphic lines, give the bottle a
feminine, elegant look. Yves Saint Laurent Elle comes in three sizes, 30ml, 50ml and 90ml. Besides a
fragrance the line also consists of a shower gel and body lotion.
A nice scent, perhaps a little too sweet for me, but the real sweetness is gone after about half
an hour. You still recognize something of jasmine, but I find a pleasant fragrance. The wood
spice scent stays really present which I like. You don't have to spray a lot of this perfume and
one spray is sufficient. Also the scent stays with you for quite a long time. I'd say worth a try.
I received this as a gift and although not my favourite perfume it does make a nice change from my usual perfumes. As it is by YSL it obviously looks good on my dressing table. It comes in an attractive tall glass pink bottle with the gold YSL logo on it. The femininity of the bottle reflects the floral fragrance it contains.
The top notes are lychee and peony with a hint of warm patchouli. I find it lasts fairly well although I also used the body lotion so would expect that helps make the fragrance last that bit longer too.
The fragrance is certainly very girlie and I tend to wear it during the day.. It is a good job that it lasts for a reasonable time as I do find the bottle too heavy to carry around in my handbag.
It is available from department stores and chemists and of course online. It costs around $30 but do shop around and compare prices.
Overall I find this a nice fragrance for when you want to feel very feminine. I like it a for a change have been delighted with my gift.
My bottle came in a gift set but it is also available in 50ml, 90ml & a 3x15ml purse spray .
I bought this perfume last year for my mum, and like it so much, I bought it for myself as well.
I first smelt the perfume in a magazine, on one of those flaps that you get in fashion magazines, and I thought it smelt really nice, although nothing out of the ordinary. however, my mum asked for it for her birthday, so i bought it. When the perfume was sprayed from the bottle, it was far stronger than the magazine, and I like it instantly.
A big turn-off for many people may be the price. However, I think it the perfume is quite good value - it's very strong (although not so strong that you have to wait a while until you go out), but it's strong enough to last for the whole day. One squirt on the neck seems to be enough, and possible one on the wrist, but any more than two, and it can be very strong. It really does last a long time - I remember putting it on one morning, and that evening at about 9pm, a man on the bus told me how nice I smelt!
Both my mum and I have had many compliments about the smell, and all of my friends who have it seem to say similar things. The smell is really nice, and not too sweet, too spicy, too flowery or too watered down - it's just right. It smells quite feminine, but if you aren't the most feminine of women, I wouldn't let this turn you off the perfume.
Another great thing about the perfume is that you can wear it any time of day, and it's appropriate for any occasion. However, as it lasts so long you don't have to think about reapplying it every hour, like the majority of cheaper perfumes
The bottle of the perfume is really nice, a good size (although they do a variation of sizes) and looks classy without looking too brash and showy. The only problem I have found is that the lid of the bottle isn't very secure, but as I don't carry it around, this doesn't really matter. The box it comes in is also really nice, quite shiny, and would look nice on any dressing table
All in all, this perfume is fabulous, and I would recommend it to anyone
One of my favorite perfumes is Yves Saint Laurent: Elle. This perfume was released by YSL in October 2007, and seems to be a firm favorite still now.
This perfume is a very feminine one, which has a lovely fragrance, with woody and floral scents in it. It is quite delicate and soft, yes is still a distinct scent that I find lasts all day with just a few squirts on hotspots in the morning. I find that this perfume is great for wearing in the day or evening, and many people have commented on how nice I have smelt whilst wearing this perfume.
The base notes of this perfume are: Patchouli, Vetiver and Ambrette. The middle notes are: Pink Berries, Jasmine and Freesia and the top notes are: Peony, Lychee and Citron. All these blend together perfectly to make a wonderful, unique smelling perfume that is great for all seasons and all weather. There is definatley a sweet aroma to the smell of the perfume, but not so sweet that you feel sick when you are smelling it. Obviously, as with all perfumes, you get used to the smell and can no longer smell the perfume on you after a while, but people have still noticed the smell of the perfume many hours after I have put it on, and even after smoking a cigarette or two, the perfume can still be smelt, so the staying power of this perfume is pretty good I would say.
The bottle is made of glass and is a nice, light pink color which is tranparent so you can see how much liquid is inside. There is a gold printing of the Yves Saint Laurent symbol, and the words Elle and Eau Da Parfum are also printed on the bottle in gold writing. The lid is the same color as the whole bottle and easily pops off to reveal the gold spritzer. The lid stays on well enough that I can just pop this perfume in my bag, and have no worries of the lid coming off. The box is a nice pink color too, and is made from a ribbed style cardboard. I found the box didn't fare so well in my handbag, so I just started carrying the bottle around, although I had hardly a need to as I didn't need to reapply the perfume throughout the day.
I have quite sensitive skin, and sometimes perfumes can bring my skin up in a bad reaction or rash, but I have had no reaction from this perfume, so I think most people will be ok with using it, unless of course you are allergic to any of the notes in the perfume. If you have really sensitive skin, or have had reactions to perfumes before, it would be best to check a small amount on your skin first. Luckily, this is what testers were (partially) made for!
The bottle lasts for a good couple of months, even with daily use, as the scent really does last through the day. The only time I have reapplied it has been when I am going out in the evening. The perfume comes in a variety of sizes, I usually get the 90m which is the largest size, but there is also a 30ml and a 50ml bottle available. I usually pay around £35 - £40 for a bottle, but you can get it in gift sets nearer to christmas which also come with an Elle scented body lotion. The body lotion is a great way to layer the smell, especially when combined with the perfume itself.
You can buy Elle in Boots, Superdrug, The Perfume Store, Debenhams and on many places online. It is worth having a look around to see which stores are doing the best price or deal, as prices do seem to vary quite a lot.
I personally recommend this perfume as I love the way it smells, but of course everyone is different as we have different skin reactions, oils in our skin etc, so I do recommend popping down to Boots or somewhere and trying out the perfume on your skin before you buy it. I think this is a scent that will suit most women, but if you like very subtle or very strong scents, this may not be the perfume for you. But like I said, go give it a try and see how it works for your skin.
This is a really lovely fragrance - slightly woody and gingery but with a flowery, citrusy after scent. It lasts for a while (but not long enough for me) and mellows out into a sweeter smell. I don't wear to the office but I spray a little bit on anytime I'm off out to anywhere nice
The bottle isn't my favourite, I think the pink makes it look a bit cheap and like it's aimed for the teenage market when instead it's aimed more for the 20-30 age range I believe.
This is normally quite expensive (about £70 for a 90ml bottle at least) but I managed to get 90ml of it for £30 on ebay so keep a look out and you might be able to get something cheap!
I always get compliments whenever I wear it, but remember with perfume - it smells different on everyone. Spray it and then leave it on for a few hours to see how it reacts with your own skin's chemistry as what works for me might not work for you.
I bought then perfume on a whim pretty much. I was in debenhams one day with a voucher, and decided on perfume, and I'd like the advert for this one so bought it. Not the best way to judge a perfume but there you go!
I bought the smallish bottle (50ml I think?) and it was about £40. It may be cheaper elsewhere, but this was debenhams. I normally wouldn't spend this much on a perfume I have to say, but as I had a voucher I thought why not.
I got it home and tried it out, and I have to say I love the smell of it. It's a stronger scent than I would usually wear, but I do like it. It's described as 'woody' and although apparently there are floral tones in it, I have to say they aren't very noticable and it's not overly floral at all.
It lasts all day I found, so it could be described as being value for money as you don't have to keep 'topping it up' during the day. The bottle did last for quite a while, I think mainly due to me not having to use a huge amount to get a lasting scent.
Quite a few friends did compliment me on the perfume, but I have to say that as much as I love it I'm not really prepared to pay £40 for it again, so it's relegated to vouchers, offers and Christmas presents for me.
Elle by YSL is one of my favourite perfumes. I find the fragrance lasts for most of the day, unlike other perfumes I have tried. It is quite a fruity fragrance and quite strong, though not overpowering. It does not need to be applied too liberally, which is handy as it makes the bottle last longer. It has a distinct smell and people have often commented when I wear it asking what perfume I'm wearing. It could be worn as an everyday perfume as well as being ideal for the evening.
The bottle and packaging are an attractive pink and would make a lovely gift for someone. I have bought this perfume a few times and have not tired of its fragrance and enjoy wearing it.
I would recommend this perfume to anyone who likes a fruity smelling, flowery fragrance and one which is long-lasting and doesn't wear off during the day.
A friend bought me this for my birthday last year and I love this perfume. I was given the gift set which I found really appealling as the box was black and pink - very eyecatching and feminine! The bottle itself is elegant and practical. The parfum I have is 30ml and I have found this bottle fits perfectly into my clutch bag. I had never tried a Yves Saint Laurent perfume and I must admit I loved this fragrance from the offset. I do tend to like fragrances that are strong and make a statement and this certainly does this for me. To give you an idea of other perfumes that I like I also wear Gucci Rush and Light Blue.
This fragrance makes me feel special so personally I like to wear it on a 'night out'. I can honestly say that I have never worn this perfume without someone - usually male - asking me what my perfume is! I now wear the body lotion too when I wear this and for me this just adds to the whole 'Elle' experience.
Yves Saint Laurent Elle EDP For Her / The hallmark of a bold personality with a unique and unpredictable lifestyle / YSL Elle is a vibrantly feminine, audacious fragrance that blends dazzling woody and floral notes / Her bottle celebrates the prestigous, interlaced monogram, cut from metal the colour of gold, highlighted with vibrant, luminous legendary fuchsia.

Chapter 2 : Chapter One: The Decisions Of a Lifetime
|Rating: 12+
|Chapter Reviews: 6
Background: Font color:
He was unsurprised and slightly amused to see the shock on his relatives faces when he had shown them the opened letter. Once he had been picked up by Hagrid later that day and taken to Diagon Alley he knew he was at home.
It was a strange and exciting feeling to see the Alley as it should be - busy, bright and open for business. The day was much the same as last time - except for when he arrived at the robe shop.
He was surprised to find that he was the only customer, before reminding himself he was arriving here a week earlier then before. His robes were simple and he was glad to wear the more comfortable wizards robes.
And so the day continued, different people and new faces but, as they had already removed the stone from Gringotts, Harry had no worries about Quirrell or Voldermort for this moment in time.
The rest of his holiday and birthday were of little importance to him, he had experienced them all before, though he eagerly anticipated September the first.
The day in question is where this tale really starts. For, as you may remember, this day changed the course of history. Choices defined who Harry grow up to trust, but that would all now have to be reversed.
When he arrived at the platform it did not take him long to convince his relatives to leave him by himself, they didnt want to be seen with him anyway, and getting onto the platform was something he had done far to many times already. As a result, he never spoke to the Weasleys that morning.
When he arrived on the train he started looking for a completely free compartment. It turned out to be the one he had found and met Ron in the last time. However, there was no where else to sit
When the red haired young wizard eventually appeared, it took all Harrys self control not to glare at him .
Harry, I dont recon he made seven, you know? commented Ron for the hundredth time that day, I recon he died before he planned too.
Hermione looked at Ron sceptically, Im not sure Ronald. I think he may have been prepared, what do you think Harry?
Harry studied both their questioning faces for a long moment, Maybe Rons right Hermione, he expected to kill me didnt he?
Harry Potter, drawled Voldermort lazily, you are about to curse me for the last time, you cannot kill me.
I destroyed all your Horuxes Tom, snarled Harry, theres nothing tying you to earth now!
Other than the one you so conveniently forgot. Your friend Ronald here was so useful in convincing you there was only six
Harry turned to his best friend, Ron is this true?
The boy was fidgeting slightly, Im sorry Harry, hed said he save my family if I agreed to it.
May I sit here? asked the boy, feeling slightly edgy at the funny looks the other boy was giving him.
Harry gave a non committal grunt before gesturing to the seat before him.
Whats your name? asked Ron.
Harry Potter, he murmured.
Potter? You got the scar then?
Harry nodded and scraped his fringe back so the other boy could see, wicked.
The day continued as before, that is until Draco Malfoy walked into their compartment. Harry had a plan, he knew Draco was trustworthy. The man had known that the Dementors kiss wouldnt work - hed wanted Voldermort finished as much as Harry had.
After a short argument between the blonde and the red headed boy, Draco turned to Harry, Youll soon find out some wizarding families are much better than others Potter. You dont want to go making friends with the wrong sort. I can help you there.
Harry paused for just a second before taking the hand Draco offered him, Thanks, Draco wasnt it?
Ron looked appalled, Hes evil Harry! His dad helped kill your parents!
Harry snorted, stop judging others! How do you know hes the same as his dad? You shouldnt be so rude!
Do you fancy coming to sit with us Harry? asked Draco, looking slightly amused by the entire scene playing out before him.
Harry nodded, I wouldnt mind if I did.
He wished hed done this the first time. The future Slytherin first years were actually a lot more excepting of other first years, though they did keep their distance from muggleborns. Harry would this time round as well, if he dragged Hermione into this again she would be killed - she was last time.
Hermione! Behind you! Harry screamed as Bellatrix Lestrange shot a stunning spell from behind the other women.
He watched as Hermione spun around just in time to witness the spell that turned her whole world black. When the battle had finished he looked desperately for Hermione, but could not find a body.
It had taken him many months of hunting down Voldermort with the help of Ron to find her.
She was hanging in the dungeons by her wrists. Her robes were dirty and torn.
Hermione are you ok? asked Harry, looking appalled and concerned.
She shook head before hoarsely replying, they havent touched me, the only other thing I see is a houself with some food and water.
They all turned to the dungeon door as footsteps began to echo throughout the room.
Hello Mr Weasley, Mr Potter, such a pleasure to meet you once again, drawled Lucious Malfoy from the door, hope Im not interrupting anything, Im just here to clean up the trash, Avada Kavada.
The green light from his wand made contact with Hermiones weak body and her life finished suddenly.
You bastard! exclaimed Harry, noticing Ron seemed to remain impassive but decided he was just shocked.
Language Mr Potter, commented Lucious, The master wishes a word with you.
You ok Harry? asked Draco, sounding cornered.
Yer sorry, he replied, his eyes-focusing on the boy before him, just tired.
So where have you been living these last few years then? question Blaise Zambini, another first year.
Living with muggle relatives, growled Harry, I hate them, they treat me like dirt.
The compartment looked shocked. The great Harry Potter had been living with muggles?
You know .said Draco thoughtfully, If there is any abuse going on I could get my father to pull a few strings at the ministry. They might not be arrested, but there would definitely be a ban on you being allowed to live with them .
Harry looked thankfully at the other boy, why hadnt he done this last time? He knew hed survive without the protection of his mothers love. Although Dumbledore had been unaware before, the protection lasted until Aunt Petunia died. Last time shed died shortly after Harry had turned 17. The wards Dumbledore had placed on the house broke down as Harrys magic matured - allowed the Death Eaters to find him. His muggle relatives had then been tortured and killed. They were vile people, but they didnt deserve the deaths they had suffered at the hands of the Death Eaters.
As the other boys discussed what houses theyd be put into - all hoping it would be Slytherin - Harry just sat there. He knew what was coming. The hat would give him a choice - Gryffindor OR Slytherin, Dark OR light in the views of many. However, he had learnt the hard way last time round that there were good and evil people in each house.
Hed tried a few spells over the summer to asses how much he still knew - which turned out to be nearly everything from his textbooks. Harry knew that the next few years would be very annoying - having to repeat everything hed already done. Also, now he knew what it was like to use his full quota of magic - which had been a lot - he was even more looking forward to his 17th. He just hoped that, this time, the war would hold off long enough to allow him to finish school.
But what would he do about Quirrell? He couldnt let anyone know what had happened to him, but he just couldnt allow Quirrell to try and hurt people again. Hed nearly killed Hermione with that troll - though he and Ron hadnt actually helped matters by locking it in the toilets with her. Harry decided hed have to allow things to play out. But hed have to stop things getting too serious. The only positive thing he could see about this situation was, apart from hopefully defeating Voldermort successfully, was that hed live up to everyones expectations of him being a quick learner and very clever.
So what house do you want to be in Harry? asked Draco, looking interested.
Well I dont know, Harry replied honestly, my parents were both Griffindors so I might be put into that house. But, hopefully, Ill be in Slytherin with you lot!
They all nodded and decided itd be brilliant if they all ended up in the same house,
Slytherins head of house is Professor Snape, explained Draco proudly, hes friends with my parents and is my godfather. Hell surely favour us above the other students.
Harry smiled along with the others. He couldnt wait to see his old enemys face when he watched the hat place him in Slytherin! Harry hoped that it would be enough to convince the man that he was nothing like James.
When I call out your names you will sit on the stool, place the sorting hat on your head and sit at the relevant table, explained the Deputy Head, Professor McGonagal, from the front of the hall.
Harry had watched the shocked face of his previous head of house when hed walked into the entrance hall chatting amiably with Draco and the other future Slytherins. It had been weird really when hed first seen her, she was so tall! Harry had needed to pinch himself again to remember that he was, once again, only 11.
Hed followed the other 1st years into the great hall, briefly caught the end of Hermiones comment about the ceiling being bewitched to look like the sky outside, and watched the hat sing to the hall. It was the same as it had been before. However, he suspected, the future songs would change - his soul being brought back in the time line had meant that the entire map of the future had been wiped clean, with only a few shadows of what had once been,
Abbot, Hannah.
A small girl from the front of the group that Harry remembered fondly walked shyly up to the stool. Last time she and her family had ended up being tutored and murdered by Death Eaters not long after Harrys 17th.
Hufflepuff! exclaimed the Hat.
Bones, Susan.
Harry smiled sadly at the memories of her and Ernies wedding. Theyd looked so happy as they exchanged their vows. However, days later, they had both been found dead. Their bodies had been found, cold as ice, in a muggle play park - it had been the killing curse that finished their lives.
A few more names were read out. Many of them had gone into hiding and a few had even joined the Dark Lord.
Granger, Hermione.
Harry watched as the girl who had once been one of his best friends wonder happily to the stool. It was weird really, seeing her without any of the worries or hardships shed been under when hed last seen her. Her eyes, which scanned the crowd briefly before the hat slipped over her eyes, looked innocent and excited.
Shed skipped excitedly over to sit at the table, which was clapping happily as the next few names were called.
Malfoy, Draco.
The blonde boy beside Harry flashed him a grin before he sauntered confidently up to the stool. He placed himself comfortably on it as he lowered the frayed sorting hat onto his head,
Slytherin! screamed the Hat, even before itd had time to settle.
Yet more names were called as Harry waited for his own. It was nice to actually enjoy the ceremony, without any of his previous worries - those had already been replaced by new ones
Potter, Harry.
The hall went deafly quiet for a few moments as he made his way to the front of the crowd. Harry then took a deep, calming breath, before walking to the stool. Now this was the moment he would have to choose
Now, why so indecisive? murmured the hat to him, you could be great in Slytherin you know .
You dont know the choice I have to make . whispered Harry back, slightly annoyed the hat wasnt going to let him think.
I know what you know boy, it replied indigently, its all here in your head .
Then Slytherin, its the only way . he replied.
Very well young master . it replied before announcing, Slytherin! to a stunned great hall.

Driven by guilt and sadness, Alex plunges into the maze of Sharon's life--a journey that will take him through the pleasure palaces of California's ultra-rich, into the dark closets of a family's disturbing past, and finally into the alleyways of the mind, where childhood terrors still hold sway.

BTRFS May Not be default in F16?
15th July 2011, 01:17 AM
going by what Josef has said Here (http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2011-July/154313.html) it looks like it will be put off til F17?
15th July 2011, 01:24 AM
If they don't have a working fsck, then there really isn't an option. Can't put it in as the default without a fsck.
I have used btrfs a little on a test system here, but I wouldn't install it on an everyday use machine without some type of file system check.
15th July 2011, 01:35 AM
well im glad it wont be default, i was a bit wary of using a unstable filesystem and there isnt much wrong with ext4
16th July 2011, 05:52 PM
I can hardly wait for fsck and some other improvements... Too bad if it won't make F16, but what can one do. It takes time.
21st July 2011, 06:43 AM
i could be wrong, it may still come default, i dunno untill Rahul or AdamW knowws more whether it'll become default or not, so far they havent taken the feature out of the listed features planned for F16 so perhaps it will still become default

Great Portland Estates
350.8p -5.5p
Questor says Buy
Commercial property and debt markets are too closely linked for brick-peddlers to be anything other than under pressure at the moment. Ongoing problems in the banking sector, compounded by national debt crises, have been weighing heavily on commercial property companies in recent months. Share prices of many of the larger companies in the sector are not far off the dark days of 2008.
The problem for the companies is two-fold. With debt-funding hard to come by it is not easy to see how capital values can rise appreciably in the near to mid term. Secondly, the knock-on effect banking issues have on the wider economy means the occupational market, companies renting space, is none too perky.
However, there are one or two areas of light in the gloom. Commercial property that is in the right area, with established management and a good development programme remains attractive to tenants and to lending banks. London, and particularly the West End, where the majority of Great Portland Estates property is held, remains attractive. The company added to its development portfolio on Monday, announcing the acquisition of a 2.3-acre site in the West End for £120m. It has also finalised a £132.7m joint venture to buy two office buildings on Gray's Inn Road on the edge of the City.
Under chief executive Toby Courtauld the company has built up a reputation for astute deals, Monday's news proving there are opportunities in the current market.
The company trades on a dividend yield of around 2.3pc. Its share price is at an appreciable discount to the company's last reported net asset value per share, 375p. However, investors looking for that gap to close could be left waiting. Commercial property companies rarely trade at anything other than a discount.
The investment in Great Portland is in management, location and experience. The company ticks all three boxes.
It may be weighed down by macro-issues but this should be offset by its own performance and sector.

Lindsey Vonn Vows to be Ready for 2014 Olympics (VIDEO)
Lindsey Vonn has vowed to be ready to race in the 2014 Olympics after a devastating fall tore her ACL, MCL and fractured her tibia. Vonn has been busy recuperating and sharing her recovery with fans in the hope of encouraging them to keep trying when they get knocked down.
"Right now my goal is to be back for 2014 in Sochi," Vonn said on the "Today" show. "Honestly, in a worst-case scenario, if I trained a week before the Games, I'd be fine. I have plenty of time to be ready for Sochi."
Vonn was competing in Austria when her ski got stuck during a landing and sent the Olympian head-over-heels. Medics on the scene immediately responded and air-lifted Vonn to a local hospital, where she underwent surgery to repair the torn ligaments and had a pin put in her knee.
"I initially thought it was going to be worse," Vonn explained. "There was just so much pain that I couldn't quite tell where exactly it was coming from. I knew what was wrong with me within five minutes of getting there [the hospital], so everything happened pretty quick. I didn't think it was going to be the end of my career."
Vonn has been busy tweeting and keeping her fans aware of her progress.
"Success! Surgery went very well yesterday and I'm recovering at home in Vail with my family. I want to sincerely thank everyone for their well wishes these last few days. It's going to be a long and hard road back but I will be back!" she tweeted less than one week after the accident.
"My knee looks…um…not very good…" Vonn tweeted on Feb. 15, along with a picture of her knee swollen and stitched up.
"Check out the screw in my knee! 2 week checkup went well, making progress!" she tweeted on Sunday, along with yet another picture of the injured leg.
"I know I can return with no fear," Vonn told "Today." "That's just who I am. I feel like I have a lot more left to do."

Intégration régionale et expansion du commerce sud-sud : le cas du Sénégal dans l'UEMOA
Due to the similarity in supply factors and demand bottlenecks, traditional approach of regional integration usually argues that South-South trade agreements are likely to generate trade diversion and income divergence. In this paper, we seek whether Senegal's participation to the WAEMU might improve its external trade and evaluate the potential for South-South trade expansion in the sub-region. Based on comparative advantages indicators, our results suggest that export diversification has been in progress in Senegal. Moreover, the low indices of export similarity indicate that the country is not in competition with its WAEMU partners : rather, Senegal has benefited from regional integration to raise exports in the sub-region.

Sierra Leone diamond ban urged
Foreign Secretary Robin Cook has told MPs that the UK is pressing for an international trade embargo on diamonds from Sierra Leone.
Mr Cook said that Britain was exploring with its partners at the UN Security Council a resolution banning the trade in diamonds from Sierra Leone except where they are certified as legitimate by the country's government.
In a Commons statement on the situation in the west African country, the foreign secretary revealed that he is to visit Sierra Leone on 8 June to discuss with President Kabbah what else the UK could do to help.
He also announced that the UK's general military withdrawal remained on schedule.
The foreign secretary said that diamonds had fuelled the rebellion for the past nine years. The people of the country were among the poorest in the world yet the rebels could purchase vast quantities of arms.
Pressure on Liberia
He said that the ultimate objective was for the government of Sierra Leone to take control of the diamond-mining areas, but that in the short term the trade in illicit stones needed bringing under control.
One of the main problems would be winning the cooperation of neighbouring countries.
Mr Cook said he regretted the fact that there was continuing evidence linking the Revolutionary United Front rebels with the Liberian government of Charles Taylor.
He said the UK was working with the United States and the European Commission to put pressure on Liberia to end those links.
UK to continuing training
The foreign secretary said the security situation in Sierra Leone was much improved, in part because of the UK presence, adding that the bulk of British military forces would be withdrawn on schedule by the middle of this month.
British commandos would be pulled out, relinquishing control of Lungi airport to the UN forces, which should by then have reached the planned level of 11,000, he said.
Britain would continue to provide valuable back-up to the UN operation, including better communications and military advice for its headquarters, he said.
Mr Cook said Britain would provide a short term training team to help train the Sierra Leone army's new recruits. The training would be conducted by around 180 personnel drawn from the 2 Royal Anglian regiment, supported by HMS Argyle and RFA Sir Percivale.
Britain was the "lead nation" in training a new Sierra Leone army, he said, "We propose to accelerate our training in order to achieve a rapid boost in troop capacity."
Given the recent furore about a 14-year-old Sierra Leone soldier armed with a British weapon, Mr Cook made a point of saying that all British-trained recruits would be over 18.
Tory call for inquiry
Shadow Foreign Secretary Francis Maude said his party would support a ban as it would cut off the RUF's funds, but he also called for a full inquiry into why British troops had needed to be deployed in Sierra Leone.
Mr Maude said the inquiry should look into what role the Foreign Office played in pressuring the Sierra Leone government into committing the "fatal error" of admitting the rebel leader Foday Sankoh into the government.
Mr Cook denied that any pressure had been placed on President Kabbah to sign the Lome Agreement: "We were only present as an observer. We did not broker the agreement. We did not witness the agreement."
Liberal Democrat foreign affairs spokesman Menzies Campbell welcomed the diamond initiative, but added that it was also important to cut back on the arms trade to the rebels.
Mr Campbell also suggested that the Lome Agreement and the UN mandate were now "past their sell by date".
Mr Cook argued that the diamonds remained the key, adding that it would be a mistake to dismantle the Lome Agreement, though some changes were necessary..

In the last several years, Real Salt Lake have been more willing than many teams to utilize domestic scouting, acquiring players like out-of-contract Yordany Alvarez, current New York Red Bull Jonny Steele, and forward Paulo Jr. from the American minor-league circuits (No. 2 goalkeeper Jeff Attinella also played at lower levels, though he was drafted by RSL).
New head coach Jeff Cassar is hoping to dip into that well once again, signing two-time North American Soccer League Best XI selection Luke Mulholland on Tuesday.
The 25-year-old Mulholland was named to the NASL's Best XI in each of the last two seasons with the Tampa Bay Rowdies and won two Soccer Bowls in less than three seasons in the league. Last year, he finished fifth in the league with 11 goals, tied for second with seven assists, and was named NASL Player of the Month twice.
In 2012, he scored the decisive goal in the second leg of the league semifinals and scored the opening penalty kick in Tampa Bay's shootout win in the Soccer Bowl. In 2011, he joined the Minnesota Stars for the stretch run and scored two goals in the playoffs, including the game-winning goal in the first leg of the final, en route to the championship.
Mulholland's successful stint with Minnesota came on the heels of an outstanding first professional seaso with the Wilmington Hammerheads. Mulholland earned USL PRO Rookie of the Year and Team of the Year honors in 2011 before signing with Minnesota.
Born in Preston, England, Mulholland played college soccer at Division II Wingate University in Wingate, N.C. A Division II all-America selection, Mulholland also played two years of summer soccer in the Premier Development League with Reading, which became an affiliate of the Philadelphia Union during Mulholland's second season, 2010.
Mulholland has played in Utah before; in 2011, he scored in both the first and second rounds of the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup, helping Wilmington reach the Round of 16. The Hammerheads were then drawn against Real Salt Lake, and Mulholland played his first 90 minutes at Rio Tinto Stadium in a 2-0 loss.
He will get much better acquainted with the venue this year, as he tries to help Real Salt Lake add to their squad from the minor-league ranks yet again.

FALLBROOK -- The Girl Scouts selling cookies in the Village Square on Saturday may not look different than on any other day, but they will be on a special mission, officials said Thursday.
Mobilized as part of "Operation Thin Mint," the girls will be selling boxes of cookies to send to the men and women of the United States armed forces deployed overseas, said Girl Scouts spokeswoman Mary Doyle.
"In San Diego, everyone knows somebody in the military," Doyle said. "When we send the cookies over, we get amazing letters back from the Marines and soldiers and sailors.
"Some of the (military) women will write back and say, 'I remember selling Girl Scout cookies,' " she said. "The men will say, 'My daughter is a Girl Scout' or 'My sister was a Girl Scout, and I remember going door-to-door selling cookies with her when we were kids.' "
During the event in Fallbrook, customers will be able to buy a box of cookies to eat, or donate the $4 for the Girl Scouts to send a box overseas. They can also write a note to accompany the cookies, Doyle said.
"There are little girls in town here who find me every year and sell me cookies," said Fallbrook's honorary mayor, Rhonda Reinke, who has helped promote the event. "They kind of won my heart, these little things doing what they could to sell cookies."
The Fallbrook Area Visitors Bureau has helped organize the event, which will run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and includes a presentation by Navy Cpt. Joe Moore, commander of the USNS Mercy hospital ship.
Last year, girls from the Fallbrook troop visited the USNS Mercy to deliver cookies and meet the ship's crew, Doyle said.
Reinke said Moore will be on hand for the entire event, along with Reinke's husband, retired Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Claude Reinke. Claude Reinke is publisher of The Californian, an edition of the North County Times.
The event will close with a brief ceremony at 2 p.m. to thank the Girl Scouts and members of the military.
According to a Girl Scouts fact sheet on "Operation Thin Mint," the Navy distributes the cookies to service members in all branches of the military across the world, including the Middle East, South Korea and Japan. So far, the Scouts have sent 825,000 boxes of cookies to members of the armed forces.
On May 12, Girl Scouts from San Diego and Imperial counties will gather on the deck of the USS Midway in San Diego to send off its latest load of cookies to U.S. service members deployed overseas, Doyle said.

I want to thank Unique Phone Unlocking services for doing such a great job unlocking my blackberry over the past few months. I recommend any and all people who needs their phone unlocked to trust Unique Phones. The service was quick, I didn't have to wait very long, nor did I run into any problems. There are so many companies that brags about their services but don't do a good job when people put their trust in them. I will not got to any one else to get my phone unlocked, and the good thing is that I didn't have to take a gamble and run into the headaches that others do because Unique Phone Unlocking was the very first company that I dealt with do to the feed back that I read from other trusted sites.

Pope Francis: 'I keep dreaming of a new European humanism'
[Nonetheless, without reference to Europe's Catholic roots]
Catholic World News – September 20, 2016
In a message to a European bishops' meeting in Sarajevo, Pope Francis emphasized the importance of the works of mercy.
"To contribute to the rebirth of Europe, the Church, as a caring mother, strives to reach out with love to the wounds of humanity to heal them with the balm of divine mercy," the Pope wrote in his message, which was dated August 25 but published weeks later.
"I keep dreaming of a new European humanism, which needs for memory, courage, and a healthy and human utopia," he continued in his message, as translated by the Council of European Catholic Bishops' Conferences. "In this pathway of humanization Europe, the cradle of rights and civilization, is called not so much to defend its spaces, but rather to be a process-generating mother, a fertile mother, because it respects life and offers real hope of life."

Great experience.
I stayed at Laura's place for almost a week and it was perfect. We visited the Miami Boat Show and the location was perfect. You can reach every place very easily with Uber; it is close to everywhere. 10 minutes from the airport, Coconut Grove, Coral Gables, Downtown Miami, Key Biscayne; even Miami Beach is 15 minutes away. No need to rent a car. The home is very comfortable and spacious. Two big bedrooms, one complete bathroom and a toilette were more than we needed as a couple, but 4, even 5 persons can perfectly stay in this home. The kitchen is fully outfitted. You can also grill outside in the gas grill. 50´ TV for relaxing while watching a movie is also there. Really enjoyed the stay.
Mayra, the housekeeper, lives next to it. We did not have to bother her, as everything was perfectly set at my arrival. The cleanliness of the house is outstanding. And Mayra loves flowers, so the house is very lovely decorated by hers, inside and outside!
Hemos estado 5 días alojados en la casa. Lo primero Mayra, la persona que nos recibió, no nos puso ningún problema a nuestra hora de llegada, las 23 horas y siempre muy amable.
La vivienda está muy situada para realizar excursiones al centro, prácticamente está en la pequeña Habana y a cualquier otro lugar. Muy confortable y sin ninguna objeción, Si volvemos a Miami intentare alojarme de nuevo en ella
My family's situation is unique when it comes to vacationing in Miami, as I live in LA but come home to Miami to visit family. Now that we are a family of 4 we need extra space, and the amenities only a house can provide. So when I found this property in a central location in Miami, it was the perfect fit. Not only was the house super charming with its 1920s art deco style, it is new, modern and beautifully decorated inside. Everything we needed was provided. For next year's family trip....I'll definitely be looking to rent this house again. Highly recommended!!! Gracias, Laura!
Surely you would agree with me that if you want to go Miami you would like to rent a house that makes you feel you are in Miami. This house gives you that feeling. I was six nights at this property. The owner took care of the house very well. Unlike my second rental place in Marathon, Florida, it was clean, good and a safe location. It was close to grocery stores, shopping centers, downtown Miami, and beaches. I had a good time, and if I want to go back to Miami, I will go there.
We stayed for the same price as a hotel, but we had a whole house! The owners live in the attached unit to the house, and were exceptional (you could not hear them at all inside, but great to talk to. Wonderful people)! Everything was in good shape and clean. The person renting it on HomeAway for the owners was also nice, but did not speak much English, and we didn't know Spanish, so communication was a bit slow when we applied for the house. Stayed for 10 days. Rooms except for the bathrooms were very spacious. Having 1 1/2 baths made up for their slightly smaller space :). One queen bed, and one double bed. Plenty of nice towels, dishwasher, washer dryer, etc. etc. We would recommend this place to anyone nice!
|Cleanning fee
|Refundable damage deposit
Manteinance of the house - clennaing fee: Mandatory USD 40 per week.
Payable upon arrival in cash.
Only required for 7 days or longer stay.

The Saginaw Spirit notched a come-from behind tie in Saturday's 3-3 game with divison-leading Sault Ste. Marie before a sellout crowd at the Dow Event Center.
The season home finale also marked the team's Fan Appreciation Day and live jersey auction to benefit the Spirit Charitable Foundation.
Spirit head coach and general manager Bob Mancini said the team demonstrated a "no-quit" attitude in the game.
"It's important to finish hard," Mancini said. "It was a good effort tonight. We cut our openings and played smart defense along the blue line. A lot of our younger players got to play more tonight, and demonstrated the promise and potential for next year."
Tommy Mannino, Joe McCann and Matt Corrente scored for the Spirit with Corrente's game-tying goal coming at 14:30 of the third period.
Saginaw goaltender Jeff Weber turned back 28 shots in the effort. The tie takes Saginaw's record to 17-41-4-4 on the season and the Spirit finish the season with a pair of road games Friday and Saturday in Guelph and Erie, respectively.
