Motorola's 6.3 inch phablet to arrive in Q3?
0. phoneArena posted on 22 Mar 2014, 17:06
Back in October, we passed along a rumor that Motorola was working on a 6.3 inch phablet called Xplay. A source who has proven to be reliable in the past when it comes to Motorola leaks, now reveals that the company will be releasing its first phablet some time in the third quarter. Lenovo is not expected to make any changes to Motorola's 2014 and 2015 release schedule, which means that the device is still alive...

I think they would be using OMAP5 CPU or Tegra5....../?

OMAP CPU is dead
9. o0Exia0o (Posts: 901; Member since: 01 Feb 2013)
Texas Instruments (TI) (makers of the OMAP line of processors) has exited the market for mobile processors at the end of 2012- begining of 2013, making the OMAP 5 CPU nothing more than a pipe dream for those who did not know.
The Nvidia tegra 5 while a great processor is way too power hungry to be placed in to a device like this. Even with the MAXX lines battery you would still only see 24 hours of useage (at most) before needing a recharge due to the power requirements and thats not to mention the heat that the processor gives off when under moderate to heavy use.
The most likely processor that you will see in this device will be based off of a snapdragon proceessor. The reason I say this is look at what Motorola did with the last generation of the Droid and Moto X lines. The most likely processor that we are to see will be another Motorola custom built one based off of a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor.

yes OMAP has exited the cpu world, but a tablet which has so much space free could use a 10.000mah battery or Tegra5 to be made on 22nm process. Arm Cortex 15cpu is a powerfull cpu almost near a inteli3 soc...
moto were more inclined with omap then any other cpu makers
nexus 10 was the first tablet to use A15 cpu, but only dualcore, and these new Exynos 5420 have great power to even to CAD graphics, A57 64BIT CPU
LAPTOPS HAVE vents so tablets should have vents so heat escapes so it dosent get hot, also liquid metal backs
15. o0Exia0o (Posts: 901; Member since: 01 Feb 2013)
We are not talking about a tablet. We are talking about a smart phone be it one almost large enough to be a tablet. Putting vents in a device like this would be detramental to the funcitonality of the device. The last thing that you would want was for lent, metal shavings or any thing else to get into your device that you just paid 300.00-600.00 dollars to be ruin it.

metal stainless steel cooper steel iron is much better than cheap plastic and alum, but 10 layers of alum is solid feel.
300 t0 700 sterlings qualifys to be used on prestige materials not junk plastic
look at the device htc onev which is crafted with quality
24. o0Exia0o (Posts: 901; Member since: 01 Feb 2013)
Yes I will give you that the HTC One is one of the finer quality devices out there, but most of the biggest complaints of the device is that it heats up quickly and gets rather hot (sometimes almost to hot to hold) and that the body is much more susceptible to damage than the "cheap plastic" that other manufactures use. Also the more "premium" materials that are employed on a phone the more it will cost the end user.

Arm Cortex 15 power is not even near the power of Core i3.

@ o0Exia0o
"The most likely processor that we are to see will be another Motorola custom built one based off of a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor."
Successor the the X8? A plausible observation though I wouldn't really mind if Moto decide to straight up fit this: >>>http://www.anandtech.com/show/
Because it seems to be that they prefer a more conservative approach at assessing performance jumps (X8 being derived from S4 Pro instead of Sd600 e.g),
I don't know we'll see how that pans out but imho the "above 6" - 6.4" range is still a questionable screen size category considering that product design-wise no one are particularly concerned about trimming bezels down. In my country Malaysia here in one of the top tech centered forums, XZU users are offloading theirs at a rising fast rate.
32. RandomUsername (Posts: 808; Member since: 29 Oct 2013)
I hope they will use Intel! Lenovo already has a few models with an Atom CPU and I hope they will bring them to Moto devices too :)
2. fzacek (Posts: 2486; Member since: 26 Jan 2014)
Phone sizes can't just keep increasing, because it's not like our pockets or hands are getting any larger. Between 5 and 5.5 inches is the sweetspot for smartphone screen size.
3. akki20892 (Posts: 3902; Member since: 04 Feb 2013)
Check this out buddy.
4. hurrycanger (Posts: 1625; Member since: 01 Dec 2013)
It's called phablet for a reason, I guess. :P
At least it's not like all these companies are trying to ditch the 5-5.5" screen size and jumps to ~6".
5. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3576; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)
A lot of people, like myself, are extremely satisfied with devices in the 6" range... There is no "sweet spot"... That's like saying "the sweet spot for men's pants is xxx""
Why can't people just promote freedom of choice?
19. fzacek (Posts: 2486; Member since: 26 Jan 2014)
I meant that most people prefer smartphones under about 5.5 inches, so companies should focus a lot on that size range with their flagships. I'm not saying that there should't be 6+ inch smartphones.
25. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3576; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)
True, true.. And they do.. But the market is shifting more, and more towards larger devices... It's ok.. For every 10 average sized high end smartphones there's only 1 phablet.. If that made any sense..
37. Amir1 (unregistered)
there is pocketability. 6.5" display is borderline with pocketability. pocketability = how comfortable is to carry a device as daily driver in your pants pocket, when you walk and sit.
6. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3576; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)
Please let Moto make a awesome, high end, phablet and not a midrange phablet like the Mega... I think a lot of people would really like a bad a$$ Moto phablet,, something cool like the Z Ultra... Speaking of Z Ultra, has anyone heard anything about a Z2 Ultra??
14. hurrycanger (Posts: 1625; Member since: 01 Dec 2013)
The Note 2 and 3 were meant to be flagships from Samsung. The Mega was like a half-a$$ trial toy, haha.
I love it though.
About the Z2 Ultra. I hope it gets better battery life and a flashlight.
26. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3576; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)
And the better screen that the Z2 has.. I think that was the problem with previous Sony devices..
38. hurrycanger (Posts: 1625; Member since: 01 Dec 2013)
Yeah, most of previous devices. I think the z1 compact was the first one to get a display with good viewing angle.
39. Amir1 (unregistered)
all of sony's displays from now on are high quality IPS panels with top viewing angles. all 2014 sony devices are a proof for that. heck, some of the hands on say Z2 has best display on the market.
8. Lt.Green (Posts: 397; Member since: 13 Mar 2014)
6.4' is an odd screen size. It's too big for a phablet and too small to be a tablet.
10. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3576; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)
The Z Ultra is 6.44"... Weird, but awesome!
13. Arte-8800 (banned) (Posts: 4562; Member since: 13 Mar 2014)
superb build quality with dragontrail glass industrial leading standards
and also the 1520 nokia phablet is a great looking device
i played around with both and its great
11. Calm_down_mon (Posts: 43; Member since: 12 Dec 2013)
Z ultra is 6.4 and it's considered a phablet.
21. Lt.Green (Posts: 397; Member since: 13 Mar 2014)
Phablets should be pocketable like phones, the Z ultra isn't. Anything above 6" should fall under the tablet category IMO.
27. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3576; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)
Lol!!! Did you know that some jean manufacturers are actually making their pockets larger to accommodate larger devices???.....
Here's a good read on phablets..

The Fall(2004)
(The fifth book in the Medieval Knights series)
A novel by Claudia Dain
They called her lady of Frost, a fabled beauty whose allure no man could resist; yet neither could any breach her icy reserve.
She called him Lord of Nothing, a knight with no land, no family, only a name made great by song and story; a name as a lover unrivaled who could win any maiden, yet never lose his own heart.
To each, romance was a game, a contest of wit and will, a match to be wagered upon and won at any cost. But in those dark days of shifting loyalties and twisted secrets, seduction was far more than courtly ritual. It was an all-or-nothing play for power in which one misstep could bring a fall. And falling in love was the most dangerous thing a woman could do.

Part exchange properties
How does that work?
Asked on Sep 18 2010, House Prices in Stafford | Report content
Answers (2)
Sort by: Oldest | Recent | Highest rated
Typically a builder will buy your property at market value against a new build and then look to sell it on once the transaction has exchanged. It is straight forward and cuts out a lot of the stress involved in chains, and also the fees.Answered on Sep 20 2010, Report content
It is well worth considering part exchange to reduce the stress involved in being in a chain situation. Although it will be more straight forward if buying from a developer, than part exchanging with another re-sale house.

One of Aston Martin's rarest supercar, the One-77, which was produced between 2009 to 2012, is for sale. As the name suggestes, only 77 cars were built, and one of them is up for grabs.
The car has done only 1,800km and is looking for a new owner. The price you have to pay for this supercar is €2,960,000 or $3.35 million. When the car was launched, it came with a price tag of $1.87 million.
Currently, the One-77 is one of the rarest car you will find. The car is powered by a 7.3-litre V12 engine, pumping 750bhp and 750Nm of torque. It has recorded a top speed of 354km/h.
Earlier, the Dubai Police had once put a One-77 in their service, along with a Bentley Continental GT and a Mercedes-Benz SLS.

The climate in Turkey has a vast diversity depending on the diverse topography and latitude.
Aegean and Mediterranean coastal areas enjoy the typical Mediterranean climate. There is hardly a drop of rain during the sunny and hot summer (May to October). Winters are mild and rainy in these regions, and it very rarely snows at coastal areas, with the exception of mountainous areas higher than 2000 metres of these regions, which are very snowy and are frequently not passable. The water temperature in the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas is warm during the long summer season (May to October) which constitutes the swimming season and fluctuates between 23° and 28°C from north to south.
The region around the Sea of Marmara, including Istanbul, has a transitional climate between an oceanic climate and a semi-Mediterranean climate, but it does rain, albeit not a lot, during the very warm summer (as showers which tend to last for 15-30 minutes). Its winters are colder than those of the western and southern coasts. Snow is common at coastal areas, although it doesn't stay on the ground for long and is limited to only a few days every winter. The water temperature in the Sea of Marmara is also colder than the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas, with the water temperature reaching only between 20° and 24°C during the summer (June, July and August) and the swimming season is restricted to those summer months.
The Black Sea region has an oceanic climate (thanks to the protective shield effect of Caucasus mountains) with the greatest amount of precipitation and is the only region of Turkey that receives high precipitation throughout the year. The eastern part of that coast averages 2,500 millimeters annually which is the highest precipitation in the country. Summers are warm and humid while the winters are cool and damp. Snow is common at coastal areas, although it doesn't stay on the ground for long and is limited to only a few days every winter, though mountains are very snowy as it is expected to be and are frequently not passable, there are glaciers around the year in the highest zones. The water temperature in the whole Turkish Black Sea coast is always cool and fluctuates between 10° and 20°C throughout the year, and is even less suitable for swimming during the summer than in the Sea of Marmara.
Most of the coastal areas have a high level of relative humidity during most of the year which makes hot weather feel hotter and cold weather feel colder than it actually is.
Interior areas like Ankara, generally have hot summers (though the nights are cool enough to make someone who is wearing only a thin t-shirt uncomfortable outdoors) and cold and snowy winters. The more easterly the location is, the colder the winters are and the heavier the snow is. The northeastern part (around Erzurum and Kars) is the only inland area which has cool and rainy summers.
The southeastern region near the Syrian border has a desert-like climate, temperature is frequently above 40°C during summers with no rain. Snowfall is occasional in winter.

|2 nights
Brookside Acres offers the ultimate in country accommodations and 140 private acres of easy to challenging trail heads that wind into the solitude of nature in all seasons. Trails will take you onto additional thousands of acres of private timber and state land. Plan on encountering wildlife but not people or noisy machines. Slip on your snowshoes or hiking boots at the back door and take off for an hour or half the day. Backcountry cross country at your level of expertise, or warm yourself by the outdoor fire pit with simmering hot chocolate. The firepit is perfect for hotdogs and smores in summer. Bring you own horse and explore the back woods. However you choose to spend your day, you're sure to feel rejuvenated and rested in the 'Roost' at Brookside.
Your extra large private hot tub will rejuvenate you and the swimming pool is open all summer.
You may also enjoy skiing at any three ski resorts within 90 minutes of Brookside: 49 Degrees North, Mt. Spokane, and Schweitzer Ski Resort. Silver Mountain is a bit further. Stoneridge Golf and Recreation Resort is a ten-minute drive and offers year around pool and hot tub. You'll find many other golf courses for summer use in our area.
We offer fine furnishings including comfortable king-sized beds, two full bathrooms and complete kitchen and laundry. The living room is equipped with a 36in HD TV, with TVO Direct TV and DVD machine. Enveloped by farm and timberland, you'll likely be wakened each morning by our friendly rooster, Beethoven, and lulled to sleep by the sounds of the nearby creek, horses nickering and coyotes crying in the distance.
Brookside Acres is located at the far west end of Blanchard Valley and, since 1939, has been a diary farm, a cattle ranch, has been logged numerous times as has the surrounding area. Larry and Bonnie Reichert are taking a more conservative approach and continue to raise hay for sale and their own livestock. Guests are welcome to bring their own horses and ride surrounding trails.
In the foothills of the Selkirks, Mt. Spokane at 5400' is the highest nearby mountain. Brookside Acres sits at 2700' and is accessed from the west over a small pass which elevation equals that of Snoqualmie Pass in the Washington Cascades. You'll normally find the pass enshrouded with snow through April. From the east, Brookside lies six miles from the town of Blanchard, Idaho.
We are certain that you'll enjoy and prize these surroundings as we do.
Our family of grandparents with two children, their spouses and 4 children ages 2-10 (10 people) spent a wonderful weekend at the farm! We hiked, swam, flew kites, rode Big Red and gathered eggs. Larry and Bonnie met our every need and helped to make it a memorable time. We would highly recommend this farm to anyone. Our group was larger than they like but they allowed us to come and we were most grateful. You will love this place if you want to get away from the rush of everyday life!
My family (7, 12 & 14 year old) had an amazing time! We had room for our in-laws and they also had an amazing time!!! My 7 year old wants to buy the property, see loved it so much. She enjoyed riding Big Red (beautiful horse), checking on the chickens each morning and pool time. We would normally stay at our time share, but we feel very blessed that the time share was full and we go to stay with Larry and Bonnie. Would 100% recommend this place!!!
An incredible vacation experience! Larry and Bonnie are most excellent and gracious hosts. The Roost is spacious, comfortable, and well equipped. Hiking in the foothills was delightful. Their ranch is very picturesque especially with their beautiful horses grazing around a meandering creek. Very much want to return to this special, pastoral place.
Wow. My family had such a relaxing and fun 2 nights here! It is highly recommended by the entire family! Very spacious, open and such a joy! We loved seeing the horses, the barn and the beautiful scenery! Brookside Acres is a wonderful place for any family to go! Rain or shine we LOVED our stay here! We already want to go back!!
We are a family of five including two teenage boys. We all loved our two nights here. Bonnie and Larry rewrite the meaning of genuine hospitality. Very relaxing environment. Accommodations are 1st class with so many nice appointments.
Oh we had such a wonderful stay over the holidays at Brookside Acres! Bonnie and Larry really are the most gracious hosts. We loved the Roost guest house. It was tastefully decorated and clean and quiet and private. We enjoyed our hikes in the forest right up the hill out our front door. Our 12 year old son and 1 year old puppy had fun playing in the snow and with the owners dogs and horses. Our nightly use of the private hot tub was just amazing in the cold weather and amidst the backdrop of the forest and quietness of the night! Driving in to Blanchard, Spirit Lake, Sandpoint, Priest Lake and all around was easily done with the well maintained/plowed roads in the snow. From the moment we arrived, Bonnie and Larry made us feel welcome and included by sharing their holidays with us and their family and friends. We loved every moment of our country getaway!
Other Activities: snowboarding, mini golf, wildlife viewing

Ugly Duck revitalises underused space. We find empty and underused spaces and open them up for a range of creative uses. We run projects which animate and connect people to public spaces.
In 2012, we opened our first project space, 47/49 Tanner Street, unlocking an empty 19th century warehouse in Bermondsey for a wide range of creative activities. We now also manage activities at The Testing Works, and in Autumn 2016 will take on our biggest project to date.
We believe that space – especially in overcrowded cities like London – should never be left empty. We take vacant and disused buildings and bring them back into creative use; reflecting communities and histories, investigating social issues through arts and enterprise.
We are currently building our portfolio of spaces to further develop our public and commercial programmes. These buildings could be big or small, temporary or permanent. Get in touch if you know of a space that needs a new lease of life.
We are committed to producing work that directly engages its audience in new and dynamic ways. We are interested in how the arts can grow and flourish in our changing world, breaking down barriers and reaching out to broader audiences with unique live experiences.
We start conversations, brokers relationships, and seeks increased opportunities for emerging artists and thinkers. Collaboration plays a central role in our work, as we believe working and developing together leads to more inclusive and ambitious plans. We work with a growing network of artists through our time bank, enabling people to meet their needs in more collaborative participative ways.
We believe that the arts can respond to the challenges of today, exploring different perspectives and approaches, and re-imagining our shared future. Ugly Duck supports ideas that challenge the status quo, get at the heart of a matter, advocate for grassroots change, or engage spectators in a new way. Surprise us.

More from Carol's Collectibles
Vintage Advertising Gnome/Elf Paper Doll
This is a sweet little vintage gnome (elf) paper doll that advertises Beecham's Pills. This guy comes from the early 19th century. He measures about 5" tall. He is actually 2 pieces with the hands and head piece being separate and inserted through the top of the body. There is not only advertising on the back of his clothing, but inside the folded body, too. It folds at the shoulder. The color is still beautiful.
Beecham pills were meant to relieve all kinds of conditions: biliousness, sick headache, bilious headache, dizziness, dyspepsia, bad taste in the mouth and much more! But, it was basically for digestive problems.
He is in very good condition. "Papa" is written in pencil on the shoulder.
Please ask questions if you have them.

The Guardian: "Death scenes tell you everything you need to know about spaghetti westerns, the most brutal and inventive of all film genres. Alex Cox picks his 10 favourite on-screen exits"
Link via Ray Banks on Twitter.
Alex Cox. That guy needs to do more than one movie every seven years or so.
Anything (besides Shane) done with Guthrie's stuff, Bill? I first read him a few years ago and couldn't put the series down (Big Sky, etc.).
Before I forget ... Guthrie's books (at least from my point of view) were a lot more hardboiled than most modern day crime novels). I would've lasted about 6 minutes back in those wagons-across-America days. The scenes where wagon train leaders had pet dogs shot because the barking would attract trouble made me cringe (never mind the man on man violence). Great but tough stuff.
I read a couple of Guthrie's novels when I was a kid. I know THE BIG SKY was filmed, and maybe a couple of others.

|Adding vector tiles to the components diagram
|24 days ago
Just a minor point, but the OpenCycleMap and Transport layers both have the same rendering stack, so I'm not sure why there's a separate "Transport Renderer" on there. Both layers are an osm2pgsql -> PostGIS -> vector tiles -> raster tiles type of stack.
|3 years of welcome messages, more than 3400 of them

Vincent de Phily - you would need to choose them randomly for it to be effective. If your choice of send/not-send is based on a particular factor (e.g. location) then it skews the results of the experiment.
|3 years of welcome messages, more than 3400 of them
|8 months ago
You could try an A/B experiment for a while - take the next 1000 users, send welcome messages to 50% of them, and then see if there's any difference between the two groups of users.
|100 € for multiple social accounts in OSM

I think you meant pull request to openstreetmap-website :-)
|Heavy Usage on OSM Sites
|10 months ago
Hi Alex - the question of tileserver policy, and the outage on Friday, are unrelated. Friday's outage was related to the addition of more disks to our "services" machine Ironbelly, and while the RAID array was rebuilding it caused the machine to become overloaded. Other machines depend on ironbelly, including the servers that power the website and the editing API. We slowed the RAID rebuild, and stopped some non-essential services (including chef runs, log analysis etc), to get the website back online as quickly as was possible.
The network traffic you see on the 2nd November to ramoth is unrelated to the above. In this case, we were rebuilding indexes on the primary database server katla, to compact them which saves space and makes things work faster. The large amount of network traffic is the main server (kalta) distributing the rebuilt indexes out to the slave database servers, including ramoth.
These are all isolated from the tileservers, which have their own servers and databases, and weren't affected by either the ironbelly issues or the coredb index rebuilding. The policy discussion on them is a long-term thing, and the amount of traffic to the tileservers doesn't have any impact on the traffic to the website and/or the API.
I hope this provides some more information to you!
|100€ for a subscription to diary comments

Good idea - let's see if the grant works! I've been working recently to make the code (and the tests) around diary entries easier to work with. It's not as simple yet as it could be, but I'd be happy to review pull requests. Hopefully in future these sort of features will be even easier to develop.
Note that it's not OWG as a group, but the maintainer for the openstreetmap-website codebase, that decides whether pull requests are merged.

|Responding to suspicious changes
|about 1 year ago
Of the 250 changesets where you didn't get a reply, how many of the users involved have made further edits? It might be reasonable to expect a response from mappers who are continuing to be involved in the project, but you might be waiting for mappers who never contribute again.
|The story of the oldest node in OSM.
|over 2 years ago
Remember that there were no changesets back in 2005, so it wasn't really the "fourth changeset ever" so much as the 4th artificially-created changeset at the point we created them (in 2009).
Also, most of the low-numbered nodes have been used and re-used a number of times, usually because of badly-executed bulk uploads using them instead of using new node ids. Then someone has to move everything back and/or delete the bulk upload.

|Openstreetmap? More like Openwoodmap on low zoom levels
|over 2 years ago
Rather than leaving comments on a duplicate ticket, it would be good to have people trying out solutions! It's not going to fix itself and it won't get fixed by people making comments either.
|What's up with the GPS traces?
|almost 3 years ago
|White Sands Missile Range
|about 3 years ago
Don't worry too much about the stripes on the map, I expect them to change at some point. Most people interpret the red-stripey bits as danger areas, when they could (for example) just be parade grounds or barracks. I intend to change the rendering so that only danger areas get the danger stripes, and other military landuses will get a bit more subtle rendering.
Doesn't affect your tagging, but I thought I'd mention it since you are interested in this stuff.
|An abandoned outdoor movie theater in Desert of Sinai, Egypt
|over 3 years ago
Please don't use "abandoned=yes" (or disused=yes etc). This is a bad tagging practice.
It's not a cinema, so you should not use amenity=cinema either.
|More on Land Use Tags
|almost 4 years ago
As a quick note - you probably mean "median" rather than "medium" - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_%28road%29
Also, I'd advise caution on the use of the "village green" tag with regards to things that clearly aren't. The wikipedia definition gives some idea - but it's a long stretch to consider a highway median as somewhere to meet, graze livestock in olden days and (especially for the english) enjoy a refreshing pint while watching a casual game of cricket.
|The Great DC Parking Lot Cleanup of 2013

|Why does MapQuest call it British Colombia?

I guess it's either outdated OSM data, or more likely, a mistake in a Natural Earth dataset that they are using. If you zoom in on the BC/Alberta border and check the data layer, you'll see they aren't using the OSM boundary.

|Single Point of Failure
|over 4 years ago
Rovastar - that's not true, there's are a group of sysadmins, all with the same access levels.
There's also difference between "single point of failure" and "single point of authority". We try hard not to have any single points of failure (e.g. someone who knows a password where nobody else does) but there will always be single points of authority - e.g. someone who is the maintainer of a piece of software, or the chair of a working group, or whatever. Not a dictator, just someone who makes the final decision if consensus can't be found any other way. And of course, in a volunteer organisation there are some tasks that only one person is willing to do - a "single point of enthusiasm", perhaps.
All of these things pose different challenges. Bundling them all together makes for better blog posts, but doesn't help solve any genuine problems.
|topographis problem
|about 5 years ago
I have a new source of height data for OpenCycleMap, which I'll hopefully be adding over the next few months. That should fix places like this, where the SRTM data was missing and the 'void filling' gives bad results.
I'd have it live already, but I've been delayed by dealing with hardware upgrades, hardware failures and surges in traffic. But I'll get there!

Inlaid with Mother of Pearl or Penshell, this collection will enhance any design project.
"These reviews are from our Customers who have purchased from our store. We find this provides more useful information in aiding your purchasing decision."
I ordered, then got the parts three days later, as ordered. Seamless.
Both orders went smoothly. Had to return my first order and reorder because of my error. No hassle on the return process. My only complaint is they received my return a week ago and I haven't received a refund yet. Seems a lil slow.
No problems
They are fabulous people.

It is quite by accident that we meet some of the most interesting and talented people in our lives. The other day someone alerted me to a photo of mine that they saw on someone's else's profile. I could not believe it, I was incredulous. That prompted me to Google "how to create a beautiful watermark" because if I had to start watermarking my photos I wanted it to be nice. That's when Darlene's video that I wrote about a few weeks ago popped up at the top of my search. Her tutorial is the best one I've viewed on how to create a beautiful clear logo using Photoshop or Lightroom. It was thorough, so well executed and I was able to create a logo that I can now use in Lightroom where I do most of my photo editing.
I contacted Darlene after my experience and told her how she helped me and what a wonderful tutorial she had on Youtube. I found a wealth of other photography information and resources on her fantastic website. Darlene has been featured on a number of well-known photography sites. Be sure to click on her website. Her work is diverse, spectacular and inspiring. It's such a pleasure for me to introduce Darlene to all of you. Check out what she carries in her Lowepro bag, what she likes to shoot and when her favorite time of day is. Sit back, grab a cup of coffee, and read on!

Your Style
In 50 words or less, how would your clients describe your photography? For Portrait photography: my work is casual, personal, and intimate to each person or family being photographed. For fine art photography: photography that takes the viewer to another place either literally with travel images, or in how she transforms ordinary objects into things of beauty and art.
Are you self-taught or classroom trained? Formally trained, diploma from two year technical program at Nait http://www.nait.ca/program_home_77272.htm
How many years have you been a professional photographer? Graduated that program in 1988, been a photographer since then, so 25 years.
Where do you want to take your photography business in 5 years? The current direction of my business is teaching and leading photography tours. In 5 years I see leading 4-6 tours a year, all over the world, as well as having several eBooks and video courses available to help people learn photography and improve their art.
Is there a photographer who inspires your style? Who would that be? I've been doing this a long time so I've been influenced by many photographers as well as painters. Some of those the influenced me the most over the years include: Margaret Bourke-White, Alfred Stieglitz, Cartier-Bresson, Ansel Adams, Steve McCurry, Yousef Karsh, Richard Avedon. More recently I have followed the work of Trey Ratcliff, who got me interested in doing HDR photography and David duChemin for his philosophy of craft over gear and his method of having vision and purpose to your images.
Favorite location to take photos? The world! No seriously I like doing urban photos and any place away from home that's exotic. When I travel I don't buy things, I take photos.
Favorite vacation spot? I'm always going to new places. I have loved many places that I wish to return to but there's so many more I haven't seen yet. So I tend to pick new places every time. I'm not a lay on the beach sort of person. Instead I prefer places I can explore like markets, historic locales, places where I can mingle with the locals and experience some of their culture.
Your Business
What was the pivotal moment when you decided to become a photographer? It was in high school actually, or just after grade 12. I went to spend a day shadowing a photography student for a day at the school where I took the photography program and I was sold – I knew that was exactly what I wanted to do.
What's the best marketing tip that has worked for you? That's really hard to answer because what works now didn't exist when I started in business, and what worked then doesn't apply any more. A simple tip I'd give would be: to be everywhere. No matter if your business is local or online, put your name in front of people in as many places as possible. Locally that means having a website, sponsoring events, donating to charity auctions, DOING charity work (photography for them for free), networking with other businesses that have a similar market and cross promoting. Online that means website, Twitter, Facebook page, Google Plus, a blog, a podcast and other places. I've found that when people run into me, or my marketing efforts in many places they are more likely to pick me when they need my services. You have to get in front of your audience 7 times before they make a buying decision.
What's the most surprising thing a customer has asked you? During a wedding shoot the father of the bride once handed me his little instamatic camera while I was taking the family photo and asked if I could take one on his camera. I'll always remember that moment and the complete disrespect for what I do. I said "no" of course. I've also been asked to photograph naked men in certain positions, and once got a phone call asking if I photographed with my shoes on or off. Other than that I can't say I've really been surprised all that often. Oh in the Fine Art realm I did get asked once if my large canvas that he was about to buy was the "original". When he learned it was a photograph not a painting he didn't want it any more.
Favorite print lab? I actually print some of my own fine art stuff at home up to about 13x19. For giclees and canvas prints I've used Canvas on Demand. For aluminum prints I've used Image Wizards. Locally I get prints done at Technicare and I have had prints and cards made at WHCC (White House Customo Color).
Your Gear
Your Gear
Are you Canon or Nikon? Canon but it doesn't matter what you use, it's just a tool. I have Canon because that's what I bought in the 90s and I had lenses when I went to autofocus and then digital. Investing in all new glass to switch is too expensive. That and I'm so used to the buttons and functions of how Canons work I'm faster with it. But if I was given a Nikon and mine taken away I'd learn it pretty fast. Like I said – just a tool.
If you could only have one lens on a photo shoot, what would it be? It's really hard to answer that, impossible actually as it really depends on the kind of shoot. If it is a portrait, then probably my 85mm f1/8. Going on a photowalk – my nifty fifty 50mm f1.8 (love that lens). Travel my 24-105mm f/4.
What brand bag do you carry your camera in? I have several, I'm a bit of a bag hound! Most of my bags are Lowepro though. I have a large shoulder bag that fits ALL my stuff in (Lowepro Magnum 650): two bodies, 5 lenses, 2 flashes and remotes. I have 3 different backpacks; some that fit a laptop and two smaller ones that don't. One zips opened on the backside so it's secure when I'm traveling (Lowepro flipside). I also have smaller over-one-shoulder bags for short day outings (Lowepro passport sling), and a light-weight one that holds my iPad (Lowepro Photo Sport 200AW).
What gear would we find in your camera bag? Canon 5D Classic (as back up now), Canon 5D MarkIII, Canon 50mm f/1.8, Canon 85mm f/1.8, Canon 24-105mm f/4, Canon 70-200mm f/4 IS, Tamron 17-35mm f3.5-5.6, ND filters, UV filters on all lenses, two Canon speedlights 550 EX, remote triggers for the flash (not pocket wizards, looking into switching what I have for Yongnuo ones), lens reversal ring to mounting the 50mm lens backwards for super macro use, timer and remote shutter release, two reflectors a 42" (5-in-1) and a 52" one (white and soft gold), light stands, a couple different tripods and a gorillapod.
Are you a natural light fan or strobe fan? Natural light big time! I teach a whole class on it. Wheneve possible I'm a big fan of KISS and taking less equipment. But having said that I do add flash (or strobe as you have called it) when I feel it's necessary usually to augment or add to the natural light. I've also done a lot of studio work so am comfortable working with multiple light set ups and using a hand held light meter.
Are you PC or Mac? MacBookPro but again it's just a tool. I've used both and I prefer Mac for the interface and user experience. It's just my thing, I wouldn't convince anyone to switch.
Your Tips and Tricks
What post processing tools do you use? Lightroom, Photoshop and Photomatix. On the odd occasion I also use a couple of the Topaz plugins. I also have several apps on my iPhone for photo processing.
Do you shoot in Raw or Jpeg? Pretty much 100% raw all the time.
Best advice you would give your 20-year old self? Oh man! Huh I can't think of anything specific because I try to live with no regrets. Life has taken a certain path and who's to say where I'd have ended up with a different path. So no, I'll just tell my 20 year old self to go for it. Perhaps I'd say to nurture and value my girlfriends more over the years. I built a business instead of a family and army of friends. Value the people in your life above all else would be my advice.
Best advice you would give a new photographer? Honestly – if photography is your passion and you love doing it, seriously think about it before you decide to turn pro. It isn't all it's cracked up to be. It's a constant struggle. It's more business than it is photography. You have to learn to be a salesperson whether you like it or not, and MANY many photographers burn out and lose their passion for it. I've seen it too many times in my 25 years. Don't get hung up on "being a pro" or think you need to make money at it to be a "real photographer". NO! If you take photos and you love it you ARE a photographer. Forget the labels and just do it because you love it, not for anyone else. And if you do go pro, make sure you still do some photography just for you, no clients, no rules, don't sell it – just for you. Don't ruin a great hobby by making it a career. I've managed to keep my passion alive but I too have gone through burn out several times. Teaching allows me to photograph for me, and share it with others that love it too. My joy comes from seeing my students excel.
What site do you use for your photography and why? For portfolio and client image reviews I use Zenfolio.com and have for years. Others have come and gone and it still works for me. Some appear fancier (SmugMug) but I can't see much difference for triple the price I pay so I haven't seen a need to switch. I can upload unlimited images, make different price list, and lock any gallery with a password for privacy. Orders are made and fulfilled and I don't have to do a thing.
What Else Should We Know?
What was your worst photography experience? I did weddings for 15 years and have dealt with more than a couple "bridezillas" in my time. The worst was one that was just picky beyond picky and she couldn't be pleased no matter what we did. She returned images for redoing time and time again for reasons other people couldn't even see. She asked for unrealistic things to be touched up (this was before digital so it was all done by hand). Finally she was given her negatives and told not to come back ever again. Most stressful job and client ever. It was a learning experience though because my gut said not to take the job from the beginning and I didn't listen because my bank account spoke louder. Hence the lesson above: listen to your gut! After that I never took a job I didn't feel right about or have a good connection with the client. Rapport and connection will take you so much further and everyone will be much happier during the whole process. Life is too short to work with people that are draining and I learned to see them coming and say "no thank you".
What would surprise people most about you, whether it is photography related or not? Perhaps two things. First, I was painfully shy in school, even high school. I had few friends, never dated and was pretty much afraid to talk to anyone, especially boys/men. People that know me know don't believe that about me, but I had to change, to adapt if I wanted to make a go of it in this career. Second, that I have two tattoos. Got the first for my 40th and second 2 years later. Still planning the third.
And just because we want to know you, fill in the blanks
Three things I can't live without…. my family and friends; my iPhone; and being involved in photography in some way (doing, teaching, admiring, discussing, processing) almost every day.
I wish I had more….. time! Hours in a day?!
The best thing about being a photographer is… I feel privileged to see the world differently and see beauty where others walk right by. To get excited by "good light" even in a movie or eating out.
The most important lesson I ever learned was…. How much time have you got? LOL A short list: don't do business with friends; slow down and take your time; no one ever died because their email wasn't returned in an hour; marry someone that "gets" what you do and either participates in it, or is very patient; you don't need the latest greatest equipment to make great images; DO back up regularly and to many places; listen to your gut; always test and check equipment before a shoot ALWAYS; bring double the # of batteries you think you'll need; bring film to a wedding (in the days of film I DID forget to bring some once – not good!).

Article 1
The phoenix is a mythical sacred firebird that can be found in the mythologies of the Persians, Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Chinese, and Phoenicians. A Phoenix is a mythical bird that is a fire spirit with a colorful plumage and a tail of gold and scarlet (or purple,blue,and green according to some legends).It has a 500 to 1000 year life-cycle, near the end of which it builds itself a nest of twigs that then ignites;both nest and bird fiercely and are reduced to ashes,from a new,young phoenix or phoenix egg arises,reborn anew to live again.The new phoenix is destined to live as long as its old self.In some stories,the new phoenix embalms the ashes of its old self in a egg made of myrrh and deposits it in the Egyptian city of {Heliopolis}(literally sun-city in Greek).It is said that the bird's cry is that of a beautiful song.The Phoenix's ability to be reborn from its own ashes implies that is immortal, though in some stories the new Phoenix is merely the offspring of the older one.In very few stories they are able to change into people.
Article 2
Another sacred bird is called the Phoenix.Now,I have not actually seen a phoenix,except in a painting,because they are quite infrequent visitors to the country;In fact, I was told in Heliopolis that they appear only at 500-year intervals.They say that it is the death of a phoenix's father which prompts its visit to Egypt.Anyway, if the painting was reliable,I can tell you something about the phoenix's size and qualities, namely that its feathers are partly gold but mostly red,and that appearance and size it is most like an eagle.There is a particular feat they say the phoenix performs;I do not believe it myself, but they say the bird sets out from its homeland in Arabia on a journey to the sanctuary of the Sun, bringing its father sealed in myrrh, and buries its father there.
Article 3
Most beings spring from other individuals;but there is a certain kind which reproduces itself.The Assyrians call it the Phoenix.It does not live on fruit or flowers,but on frankincense and odoriferous gums.When it has lived five hundred years,it builds itself a nest in the branches of an oak,or on the top of a palm tree.In this collects cinnamon,and spikenard,and myrrh, and of those materials builds a pile on which deposits itself,and dying,breathes out its last breath amidst odors.From the body of the parent bird,young Phoenix issues forth,destined to live as long a life as its predecessor.When this has grown up and gained

Penn Ivy Weekend #6 Game Notes in PDF Format
PHILADELPHIA - Most college basketball coaches -- okay, all college basketball coaches -- will tell you that if you want to win your conference championship, it starts by defending your home court.
The University of Pennsylvania men's basketball team has done just that again in 2005-06, going a perfect 7-0 against its Ivy League foes for the second year in a row and the eighth time since 1992-93. Not coincidentally, the Quakers have won nine Ivy titles in that period and are still in shape to win a 10th.
That said, the hard part has now arrived for Penn -- the road. The Quakers finish the conference campaign with three games away from home, beginning this weekend at Yale (Friday) and Brown (Saturday), and continuing Tuesday with the traditional regular-season finale at Princeton.
Penn is 3-1 in Ivy road games to date, most recently losing at Columbia and gaining a closer-than-it-looks, 67-56 win at Cornell two weekends ago. Things do not figure to get any easier for the Quakers this weekend; Yale in particular has consistently been a tough place for them (witness last year's 18-point loss at the Lee Amphitheater, Penn's only league loss).
As if playing on the road was not bad enough, the Quakers are limping a bit heading into this final stretch. Senior Friedrich Ebede played only a few minutes against Harvard Friday night, then sat out Saturday's game with Dartmouth due to a groin injury. His status for the weekend is unknown. Junior center Steve Danley, meanwhile, broke his nose in Friday's game thanks to a stray elbow.
In basketball you seldom read about magic numbers -- that is more of a baseball thing -- but it applies in this case. Penn's magic number is two; any combination of two Quaker wins or Princeton losses in these final three games (the Tigers are at Brown Friday and Yale Saturday, before Tuesday's showdown at Jadwin Gym) will allow the Ivy championship trophy to remain in Philadelphia.
The Series with Yale
Friday's meeting between Penn and Yale represents the 204th; the Quakers hold a 137-66 lead in the series.
Penn Head Coach Fran Dunphy is 25-9 against Yale, but just 9-7 in New Haven against the Bulldogs.
Penn defeated Yale earlier this season, 74-52 in Philadelphia; however, last season the Bulldogs pinned the Quakers with their only Ivy League loss, 78-60, here in New Haven.
The Series with Brown
Saturday's meeting between Penn and Brown represents the 110th; the Quakers hold a 91-18 lead in the series.
Penn Head Coach Fran Dunphy is 27-6 against the Bears, including a 12-4 mark in Providence.
Penn defeated Brown earlier this season, 68-51 in Philadelphia, and swept the Bears last year, 83-60 in Philadelphia and 79-62 in Providence. The year before that, the Bears swept the Quakers (92-88 OT in Providence and 78-74 in Philadelphia).
Jaaber, Dunphy Honored by collegeinsider.com
Junior guard Ibrahim Jaaber and Head Coach Fran Dunphy were honored earlier this week by www.collegeinsider.com as the Ivy League's Player and Coach of the Year, respectively. www.collegeinsider.com is a website devoted to college basketball, with a special emphasis given to the mid-major conferences.
It is the second time Jaaber has been honored by the website; during the preseason, he was one of 25 players named to its Preseason Mid-Major All-America Team.
The Goods on Penn...
Fran Dunphy is 166-27 (.860 win percentage) against the Ivy League since the beginning of the 1992-93 season.
Last weekend, Penn completed its second-consecutive 7-0 Ivy League home season, and the eighth since 1993; the Quakers' last conference home loss took place in the 2003-04 season finale, a 76-70 overtime decision to Princeton.
Since losing its Ivy League home opener in 1991-92, Penn is 95-9 at The Palestra against the Ancient Eight (including a current streak of 14 wins); in that run, the Quakers are 9-5 against Princeton and 86-4 against the rest of the league.
Since starting the 2003-04 Ivy campaign with two losses, Penn is 33-4 against the Ancient Eight including 16-2 on the road.
Penn has won eight of its last nine, 12 of its last 14, and 15 of its last 18; the Quakers' last two losses have come by a combined five points.
In that 18-game stretch, six of the wins have come on the road (Hawaii, BYU-Hawaii, The Citadel, Dartmouth, Harvard, Cornell), the nine home wins have been by an average of 21.0 points, and 12 of the victories have been by double figures.
All but one of Penn's Ivy League wins this season have come by double digits, while the loss came by two points and was lost at the buzzer on a putback.
Penn entered the week 14th nationally in steals per game (9.9), 24th in scoring defense (60.0 ppg allowed), 25th in scoring margin (+9.8) and 45th in turnovers per game (12.9).
Penn leads the Ivy League in seven categories overall, and eight when Ivy League-only games are considered (see graphic on page 2 for more info).
Penn has committed fewer turnovers than its opponent in 18 of the last 19 gamesincluding five games where the margin was more than 10compiling a +6.37 turnover margin in that stretch; the one time it did not happen was Feb. 10 at Dartmouth, when Penn had 19 turnovers and the Big Green had 18.
Penn has had 10 or more steals in 12 games this season, nine thefts six other times, and at least seven steals in every game in 2005-06; in the last 16 games, the Quakers are averaging 10.3 steals.
Speaking Personnel-y...
Junior forward Mark Zollerthe Big 5 Player of the Week on Jan. 23 and Ivy Player of the Week on Feb. 27has averaged 13.3 points and 8.0 rebounds in 20 games as a starter; he has scored in double figures 13 times as a starter, and reached double figures in rebounds seven times.
Zoller has had double-doubles in each of Penn's last two games (13 points, 18 rebounds vs. Harvard; 17 points, 11 rebounds vs. Dartmouth).
Sophomore guard Brian Grandieri has come off the bench to score in double figures each of the last three games (11 points at Cornell, 17 vs. Harvard, 10 vs. Dartmouth).
Want a barometer of the Quakers' success this season? Senior guard Eric Osmundson has averaged 11.8 ppg in Penn's 18 wins and 5.0 ppg in its seven losses; 12 of his 13 double-figure scoring games this season have come in Quaker wins.
Stuff to "Jaaber" About...
Some things that, when you know them, make Ibrahim Jaaber a really fun player to watch...
Jaaber entered the week second in the nation in steals per game (3.48).
Jaaber entered the week 43rd nationally in field-goal percentage (.552); he was one of only two guards listed in the Top 50, ahead of Florida State's Al Thornton who was 49th.
Jaaber has been the Ivy League Player of the Week four times (Feb. 13, Jan. 16, Jan. 4, Dec. 3).
Jaaber has 87 steals this season, giving him 204 for his career which makes him the program's all-time leader (did we mention he is a junior?); on Jan. 25 vs. La Salle, he had five steals to surpass Jerome Allen as the program's leader.
Jaaber has already broken his own Penn and Ivy League records for steals in a season (87); last year, he set the marks with 85.
Last weekend, Jaaber became just the fourth player in Ivy League history to get 200 steals in his career (again, as a junior); the others are Harvard's Andrew Gellert (242), Harvard's Mike Gielen (213) and Columbia's Gary Raimondo (209).
Jaaber has eight four-steal games, four five-steal games, one six-steal game and one seven-steal game this season.
With all the talk about Jaaber and his ever-increasing steal total, what may get overlooked is his point total. Entering the weekend, the Ivy League's leading scorer has 963 career points; he is on course to become just the 33rd player in Penn history to reach the 1,000-point plateau this season, as a junior.
Jaaber has hit double figures in scoring in 25 of Penn's last 27 games, dating back to last season. The only times he was held in single digits was Jan. 28 vs. Saint Joseph's (9 points) and Feb. 25 vs. Dartmouth (8 points).
Overall, Jaaber leads the Ivies in points (18.6) and steals (3.48) per game, and is in the Top 10 in four other categories.
In Ivy League play, Jaaber leads the conference in three categoriespoints per game (20.0), field-goal percentage (.605) and steals per game (3.82)and is among the top three in three other categories; if he had the minimum 3.00 assists per game instead of the 2.73 he has, his 3.33 assist/turnover ratio would also lead the Ivies.
Jaaber is shooting .552 from the field this season, including a staggering .605 in Ivy play; despite the fact that he has taken 10 or more shots in all but one game, he has been better than 50 percent in all but five games.
