 		Germany
On the Images of Belle page, the alternate text for the "Germany" .png is "SOLD for 18,000". I asked what was sold but no answer yet. I also just asked if they were planning on bringing something down and they said "It's more of a retraction."

 		using the top down method of the picture and applying it to the second cipher it looks like a ROT 13 substitution cipher

you get:

THAUSCGNEYS for GUNHFPTARLF

Gneys is a type of slate.
Thausc is the abbreviation for a school in Spain (Thau Sant Cugat)
Thau is German for dew.


Safe to say there is nothing there...lol the other words cipher into gibberish as well. Ill keep working on it.

Oh and if it ciphers down into drink more Ovaltine, I am going to be pissed.

 		Im not sure if this was suggested but have anyone tried Alt coding their names like Alt+175000 gives you "Ш" a russian letter for SH and 18000 gives you "P" russian R or english P maybe there could be something there?

 		I've been looking at the topdown.png for a while now, and I've noticed that the width of the letters is precisely 38 "units"; exactly the same number of letters they said they have in the alphabet on Formspring.
If you don't get it, here you go:

I've tried overlaying the letters, rotating, fliping, layering, but still to no avail. I've enclosed the "cleaned up" version if somebody's willing to help. http://i.imgur.com/iC4cy.png

 		alt messages
We're getting clues in the alt messages attached to the photos on the "Images of Belle" page. I mentioned before that the "Germany.png" picture has the message "Sold for 18,000." "Nature.png" hides the word "Retraction", and "Nurture.png" hides the word "Roof."

"Retraction," "Roof," and "Top Down" all make me think of a convertible.

Notice how the letters are 4 units high. Top down means "cutting" the upper 1/4 of the letters. It also expains the "roof" of the letters. So it's either the 1/4 of the letters that's connected to the alphabet or the other 3/4 of the letter.

Did you send the pics in with those names, or were they renamed?

 		Renamed. I sent several pictures, only so they could choose the best ones.

Edit--Belle's unaltered picture will be revealed. Hmm.

This is most likely unrelated, but fascinating nonetheless:
http://www.eric.ed.gov/ERICWebPortal/detail?accno=EJ514025

The nature and nurture clues + belle + alberta led me there with some Googling.

 		http://maps.google.com.au/maps/place?q=toren+belle+m,+alberta,+ca&hl=en&cid=10418909523680515623

no idea about this one. all the roofs around the area look photoshopped. A lot of banks. might tie in with the US debt deadline? And note the large shredding truck outside the bank on streetview Very Happy

which maybe this is another coincidence?

http://www.globalmontreal.com/story.html?id=3592149
"GEORGIA Deliveliotis holds a SCOTIABANK (see map above) UMBRELLA as she takes part in Centraid's annual March of 1000 Umbrellas in downtown Montreal on Tuesday, September 28, 2010."

Unsure who tagged the building as Belle M, as a google search for Toren Belle M doesn't bring much up.

also this...

"The Black Umbrella"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xw1oNMAvNLU

credits seem to have a belle m as casting director?
strange video anyway, i hope its a fake decapitation. zooms in at the end to philadelphia, not much around at that place on google maps... an atm machine, a kids day care centre, and a strange grey building across the road, no. 17 W girard ave

http://maps.google.com.au/maps?q=The+M-Room&hl=en&ll=39.968778,-75.135&spn=0.00048,0.001206&client=firefox-a&radius=15000&t=h&z=20

I havent looked at the map for the start of the film where it zooms into iraq. "interesting" film.

maybe the top down and roof clues are pointing towards google maps or earth?

also the twins thing is plausible, and may explain the splicing theory, the middle part being the boy, the side part the girl. maybe they spliced the two faces and dropped the girls hair over the top.

also http://www.ucertify.com/article/what-is-umbrella-testing.html mentions both umbrella and top-down testing.

have fun

 		Ok so this is all just a crazy theory still but it fits with the TopDown.png and it fits with the folding to reveal a secret message idea.

Take a look and tell me what you think.

Interesting. I asked if Belle is or was a twin. I don't think it's been answered so it may more than likely just be a crap question lol.
