Accessory Review: Phottix Odin TTL Flash Trigger for Canon
Phottix Odin TTL Flash Trigger for Canon
$329 / £267 www.phottix.com
The Phottix Odin is a wireless TTL flash trigger system that operates via radio frequency. At $329.99, the Odin's price tag may seem a tad steep over the competition, but it features several key advantages that make it worth the ride. The most prominent advantage of the Odin's TCU (Transmitter and Control Unit) is its large LCD screen, which displays exposure stop increments, TTL/M modes and various other options that are linked directly to the flash and camera menu system. This is something that most wireless flash trigger units lack.
The Phottix Odin's LCD screen is also backlit, which is a lifesaver during night shoots. In addition to a friendly LCD menu interface, the Phottix Odin is blessed with an intuitive grouping of tactile menu buttons that govern controls such as flash head zoom, test light, modelling flash and second curtain sync, to name a few. Thanks to the LCD/button combination, the Odin is easy to acclimate to right out of the box. It's worth noting that most of the Odin's competitors lack LCD screens and offer limited control over camera and flash options.
For this review, our Odin was used with a Canon EOS 5D Mark III and paired with a Canon Speedlite 580EXII unit.
Another benefit of the Phottix Odin's system is that it operates via a 2.4GHz radio frequency with a range of over 100 meters (though I was able to get it to work from up to 15 meters further away). This is an advantage when compared with Canon's finicky infrared systems, for example, which in my experience require close proximity between flash and trigger. As of this spring, Canon does now finally offer a radio wireless system, but at around $470, the Canon ST-E3-RT is significantly more expensive than the Odin (and currently only works with the high-end 600-EX-RT Speedlite flash).
Adding to the Odin's versatility, the TCU and receiver combo can host up to three seperate groups of flashes (A, B and C) in four different channels. While we've seen greater numbers of groups and channels available on other competing models, this represents significant versatility.
Not once did the Odin falter and break connection at longer distances during my testing. The unit also fired consistently 100% of the time, never once missing a beat.But perhaps the greatest thing about the Phottix Odin, on top of the fact that it's a full TTL/ETTL system that works really well, is that nearly all of the Speedlite's options and controls can be controlled via the Odin TCU. This includes shooting in full Manual mode with 1/3-stop adjustments. The Odin allows A:B ratio shooting and accommodates an adjustable zoom range of 24-105mm.
In most cases, there was no need to fiddle with the Speedlite flash's controls at all, for most of it could be done from within the single Odin TCU, including camera system options like FEB (Flash Exposure Bracketing). Of course, you could configure your flashes manually at different exposure increments and speeds, but when you want TTL, the Phottix Odin does really well.
|Phottix also shows some love for the Nikon crowd with the Odin Nikon system. Note the USB port for firmware upgrades and 6.3mm port for strobe connectivity.
|The most recent Canon firmware upgrade brought 1/3-step tinkering to the table.
In terms of build quality, the Phottix Odin is fairly rugged, yet compact enough to hide inside a small camera bag pocket. The TCU and Reciever each run on two AA batteries and contain USB ports for firware upgrades. Phottix customer support appears very responsive, and only recently the company released a recent firmware update that addressed the original unit's lack of 1/3-step increment adjustment in Manual mode after floods of emails from Odin owners. Something I'd like to see added via firmware would be the ability to control both Manual and Multiflash modes in the camera system menu via the Odin TCU, so hopefully we'll see that down the road. There's even an included cable and 6.3mm adapter to connect the reciever to a studio strobe.
Summing Up
The bottom line here is that the Phottix Odin is one of the best wireless TTL flash triggers on the market. The unit performs flawlessly at ridiculous distances, never missing a beat during my testing. Its highly intuitive LCD/Menu system and integration with camera and flash system menus make it a bonefide snap to use. The versatility of three separate groups and four different channels with A:B ratio, TTL/Manual, second curtain sync, zoom and other options governable right from the TCU itself is a definite time and headache saver. With impressive customer support and frequent firmware upgrades, it's hard to find any major flaws in the Phottix Odin.
If you desire a reliable, dependable and intuitive wireless TTL flash trigger system that can operate flawlessly from football field lengths away, the Phottix Odin is certainly worth a look. It's a little more pricy than some of its competitors, but considering the feature set it offers excellent value for money.
What we like: Exceptional interface, 'plug-and-play' ease of use, versatile functionality, proven performance, great customer service with firmware updates, solid construction. Canon and Nikon compatible versions.
What we don't like: We have to nitpick here, but again, we'd like to see a firmware update that enables Manual/Multiflash control from within the Odin TCU. Also, at this price Phottix could have added a shutter trigger as well, which would make this model the ultimate trigger system. One last thing: how about other camera brand compatibility and a list of compatible third-party flashes?

Does anyone know if it's possible to mix Canon and Nikon flashes by using a mix of receivers?
I own both brands. Suppose I buy a Odin for Canon as a transmitter on my 5Dmkiii and a mix of Nikon and Canon receivers. Is it possible to use my SB900 and SB800 flashes and my 540EX flash with my 5D body that way (including TTL)?
the biggest downside on the PW is the hotshoe, its plastic!
for those who doubt and complaint, you guys never touch Odin on your own hand, don't you?
What I haven't seen anyone touch on here is the strobe-specific receivers that PocketWizard makes. Being able to control power and use HSS on an Einstein with the transmitter on the camera is pretty awesome. So far Odin doesn't provide any modules for that.
PocketWizard is awesome for all that they do, but Odin is very impressive. If Odin comes out with receivers for strobes that allow power control & HSS, PocketWizard could be in big trouble.
Loved my Phottix Odin TTL remote flash triggers for Canon, until two of them suddenly stopped working with very little use.
Sure, stuff happens, but Phottix isn't responding to my emails about getting them repaired/replaced under warranty. Thus right now they're just two over-priced paper weights, and I'm wondering how long the other two will continue to function. (Could lousy customer service be a cultural phenomenon?)
Just finished extensive tests on the Canon Odin and 4 receivers. Hardware consists of a 5DM2, 2-430EXs,1-430EX II, and a 580EX II. All features seemed to be behaving as advertised,HSS,Zoom,ETTL, except the misfires. If I try to shoot a quick sequence with my 5DM2, I will get one good exposure and after that on receiver or another will misfire. I have replaced batteries in both the speedlights and the receivers. This results in maybe two or three good exposures before the misfires begin again. The 580EX II seems to have the fewest misfires. I did get a six shot sequence without a misfire when I set the strobes to Manual and 1/128 power. All strobes and receivers were within 5-10 feet of the camera so it isn't a distance issue. It does appear that HSS adds to the number of misfires while Normal and Manual have fewer. I am using the latest firmware 1.20 and Sanyo Eneloop rechargeable batteries all freshly charged.
This is not the performance that was reviewed or advertised.
For those who are curious, The (Nikon) Nissin DI866 Mark II will not hi speed sync with the ODIN. I could only get any kind of hi speed sync output with the flash improperly set to Manual, full power. The Nissin will hi speed sync when connected to the camera directly.
Nikon ODIN- SB910, along with SB700 and Nissin DI866 Mark II. Range testing - This was an unscientific test, just went outside along the road with batteries that came with the ODIN and some Eneloops right out of the package. Interesting results, at around 100 meters sometimes I could see preflash but got no output, other times I got good flash, other times no flash. When tilting the camera to portrait orientation with the ODIN master unit off to the side, I could not get the flashes to go off at that range. I suspect it is due to the polarity of the built in antenna. Anyhow, to get reliable all three flashes going off no matter how I held the camera, I had to be between 100 to 135 feet away. Which seems real world, i.e., not fresh batteries, middle of your session type of situation. Sill fine. For those who don't like the ODINS, just set your flash to TTL and let the ODIN master do the adjustments. I will retest range sometime with all eneloops fully charged.
I have 8x 550ex flash units on the Phottix Odin system, and couldn't be happier. I bought it when my primary cam was the 5D2, and now use em on my 5D3. Takes a bit for me to shoot a couple of test shots and determine flash group levels above and below ttl, then any minor adjustments during shooting can be made via the flash adjustment compensation on camera. Love em. Never had any prior radio trigger system, so can't compare to those.
Own a Odin for several months. Works flawless just missing the shutter trigger.
5D Mark II, 580EX II, 430EX II
PHOTTIX Odins are incompatible (at present) with SIX Canon cameras.
Here's a copy of the email I received from PHOTTIX:
Thanks for your email.
Yes, the 1D Mark II will work. The only cameras we have issue with are: 1D, 1Ds, G6, G12, G1x, 1Dx
Canon changes their camera/flash protocols from time to time. This happened when the EXII flashes were released - and again recently as well. The 650D, 5D Mark III and 1Dx all have new protocols. This is easy for Canon to accommodate - much less easy for us when trying to add all the protocols into one product.
If you need anything further please let me know.
Anyone know if the Odin's will be compatible with the new EOS M?
I have been involved with beta testing and reviewing (and of course using) TTL radio triggers since the first options where available, and the Odins are definitely a standout because they are really very powerfull in terms of functions but also incredibly simple and trouble free to use. You can literally start working with them without even having seen an instruction manual.
They do still have have a few limitations to be aware of though, you can see more about that in my review here from a slightly different perspective -
Just received a reply from PHOTTIX.
It appears that their product, contrary to the impression given, may work only with camera bodies that support ETTL-II, and not the original ETTL.
That sounds odd to me, because I thought that E-TTL vs. E-TTL II was entirely in the camera, and that the flashes didn't know, or need to know, which system was in use.
I mean, a 550EX works with E-TTL II, doesn't it? Yet it predates E-TTL II.
I'd love to know why and in what way Canon modified the camera-to-flash protocol to accomodate E-TTL II, and how this causes problem for a system like the Phottix.
i think it's time for DPREVIEW to launch a new test -
STE3 vs Pixel King vs Pocket Wizard...
you may add yongnuo to the list too. the other day i saw they came out with a new tranceiver as well but ain't quite sure about the specs. the old RF602/603 were like @%#@$#@%#@$ though
Well, this item isn't as good as it is claimed to be.
I have tried it TWICE, once with old firmware, and second time with new firmware. It failed to work on both occasions.
I was testing it with a 1D (Mark 1) and a 580 Mark II flash gun.
The list of problems:
~FEC that you set doesn't show in the viewfinder (as it does with the flash in the hotshoe)
~ FEC is not reported in the EXIF data during image playback
~ You can't use the transmitter (tx) to fire flashes at desired power level so as to take meter readings of individual lights. Instead, pressing the TEST button on the tx results in a very weak test pulse being fired irrespective of power output set on each flashgun. So you must trip shutter to get flash to fire at desired power.
~ Chnaging flashes to Manual Mode does not work
~ When tx zooms flash heads it causes error message on the flash after the flash has been fired.
~ Setting FEC on the tx has ZERO effect
~ Finally, EVERY shot taken results in GROSS overexposure
Canon 1D not supported by Phottix Odins
"Canon does now finally offer a radio wireless system, but at around $470, the Canon ST-E3-RT is significantly more expensive"
What? Is anyone paying $470 for the ST-E3?! It's only $319 at BH!
Not to mention you literally get the receiver with any new Canon flash that you buy. I could see if someone has older bodies/flashes, the Odin would make sense. For anyone using the 5D3/1DX the Odin would seem a bit...old school.
"There are plenty of wireless TTL flash triggers on the market, making it difficult to find the ideal setup to meet your needs". Wouldn't there being plenty available on the market make it *easier* to find the ideal setup? More to choose from?
If there were 27 different varieties of bananas at the supermarket, how would you be able to discern which breed was the tastiest? Wouldn't it be much easier if there were only three varieties of bananas to choose from?
How does the Odin handle flash recycling ? I have two 600EX-RT and a ST-E3-RT. Except for the 0.5-1 second that the Canon radio system add to the flash recycling time it does work quite well. But the unnecessary increase in recycle time is a real killer for me. Maybe I should just ditch the ST-E3-RT, get the Odin and one or two used 580 II's to supplement my 600's...
It handles recycle time exceedingly well. I was able to fire repeatedly with no lag. You should see the Odin work the modeling flash--it's quite impressive.
Thanks Mike,
I'm also considering the Strato II to supplement the ST-E3-RT. My guess is that it's as reliable as the Odin and I pretty much know how I want my flashes set up in manual mode. I could get a set of Strato II's to do my current project and hope that Canon get a fix for the recycle delay. The Strato is significantly lower priced (I can get a Strato II transmitter and two receivers for the price of just one Odin receiver).
The Stratos are good too, and they offer four groups as opposed to the Odin's three. For your setup, it sounds like the Stratos would suit you well.
I just did a 1:1 comparison once again: Shoe-mounted 600EX-RT on my 7D at 1/8 power with an external battery pack (not the CP-E4 as it is ridiculously overpriced). I can shoot at 8 fps without a single missed frame for at least 10 frames (I stop in order to stay avay from thermal issues). Then I repeated with the ST-E3-RT in the camera flash-shoe (still at 1/8 flash power). After 3 or 4 frames I get at least 4 black frames. The Canon radio flash system really isn't for action shooters. Canon support has been very unresponsive... so I will be ordering Stratos... sigh
One thing that makes this kinda useless for some... You cant mount a flash on top of the trigger like with a TT5! In some situations I use both on- and offcamera flash and this makes that impossible.
True...no hot shoe on tope, and I suspect that it's the form factor of the transmitter that makes a hot shoe unworkable... I do think you can mount a hot shoe pass-through cable between camera and transmitter, to an off camera flash -hand held, or bracket mounted.
I have not personally tried this after researching it - because I decide to buy another receiver instead.
The article says nothing about any high speed flash capabilities.
Pocket Wizard can do.
It does have high-speed capability. More info is on the Phottix site.
Yes on high speed sync.
Pentax has to blame themselves for this...
I believe a Nikon version recently came out.... though I know a guy who switch from Canon to the D800, and says the Nikon Phottix system is not as care-free as the Canon.
Love my Odin's for Canon. Works great with both my 430EX and 420EX. It is so great that one can use the older flashes with them. Just a great system.
That said, I do have a few gripes (one which is fairly well documented with users). The receiver unit is fairly large in the front and I find it difficult to use it for softboxes and get the flash head in the enclosed area. Usually have to turn the unit, which then negates the ability to use the zoom feature. Also, I've heard that the units send out a pre-flash which make it tough to use a meter. Lastly, as compared to the Canon unit, the transmitter sits quite high, which likely makes it easier to knock into things.
The stated negatives are things I can work with and I do truly love the system. It was a lifesaver when I had to shoot a wedding solo earlier this year and allowed me to get this shot within a 5 minute timeframe (which is all I had):
Here is my story.. I am a professional photographer with more than 18 years of experience and I tried everything else and finally bought Odin for my Canon 5D and 4 550EX combo. And ever since I bought Odin, I never missed any single shots because the flash was not firing. So far it is giving me 100% results with no issues. ETTL works like a charm... Accurate measurements. Distance is not a problem for me as I am always within their advertised range.
I have started with Radio Popper and they sent me 2 different sets of units for replacement and finally I sold that and got Pocket Wizard Flex TT series and even with them I had to get a replacement once but still was no use and finally I found these babies and I am married to them.. Permanently. If she decides to ditch me some how, I would get a clone of her from Phottix.. :) YES the review is right and it looks like an ad because that is the truth!!! ODIN ROCKS!!!
No I am not connected to Phottix at all. I am a happy customer and I just could not hide my happiness of using their system without any troubles. It is a great peace of mind for event photographers to not to worry about their flashes every now and then thinking if it fired or not. That too I had only bad experiences from other two major brands. And then moved on to this and it has been many many months and going good without any troubles. So please consider it as a true and honest opinion.
I'll second fotogloria,
I've got the Odin and 8 receivers mounted on 8 Canon 550ex flash units. The 550ex has the same flash capability as the later units, and does not have issue with recycle that those had. It's a true work horse, and sells used for about $160. The Odin has been fantastic, and never an issue with recycle... In a studio setting, I will shoot pix about 1 second apart, for 20 or more shots. You can also use flash exposure compensation from the camera, and it adjusts the settings on the Odin globally. I love it!
The main thing that the PocketWizards have over this at this point seems to be the hypersync (where you can push the sync speed a bit faster) or the optimized HSS (where you don't lose as much power going to HSS) ?
The main thing that the Odin has over PW's is that it has a display, which is definitely better than the dials on the EC-3.
At least this means getting used Flex TT5's might be cheaper soon for those of us who don't care to switch systems :)
Yes, but so far Flex/Mini doesn't work with 5d3/1dx cameras nor 600 series speedlites. Plus range and accuracy still stinks. I have set and keeping it for now for my Alien Bees and 7d. Once I get ST-E3-RT i may look for cheaper triggers for studio and get rid of PWs.
I can't find the Canon version on the website, only the Nikon. Trying to find out if the 550EX is compatible.
Link to Phottix Odin for Canon http://www.phottixstore.com/store/phottix-odin-ttl-1.html though not specifically spelled out, it should work on all Canon flashes.
Yes... I use 8x 550ex flash units on the Phottix Odin system. Works like a charm.
I have a Phottix Odin transmitter each on two of my 5D Mark II that I use to trigger up to 4 Canon Speedlites. The best part about the Odin TTL system is that you no longer need to spend big bucks to buy the higher end Canon flashes for their Master/Slave capability. I work with any combination of 270EX, 430EX-II and 580EX flashes and I have flawless ETTL control with the Odin. You only need to determine if the particular flash gives you enough light for your work. http://is.gd/Yo2NaH
anyone have any idea on the cost of this unit?
An odd time for a review given that the ST-E3-RT is available for the same price.
The point is though, that regardless of the price of the ST-E3-RT, you can only use it with one flashgun - the EX600 RT. A lot of photographers will be sticking with their older Canon flashes until there's a really compelling reason to make the (pricey) upgrade.
Canon missed the boat and may depend on the next wave of photographers who have not yet invested in a million units of 580EX/II and lower models to benefit from the ST-E3-RT system. Beauty of the Phottix Odin is that as long you have a Canon E-TTL flash, everything from a tiny 270EX to 580EX-II will work.
I have not looked at the ST-E3-RT unit to determine it's user friendliness - good old buttons on the Odin receivers make Channel/Group selection so quick. Sometimes, high tech just slows/hampers productivity.
I'm using the Phottix Odin for a while now.
I have tried most of the triggers on the market and the Odin is no PW competition but a PW killer.
Finally a reliable TTL trigger!
It truly is a great system compared to the competition.
"Odin is no PW competition but a PW killer."...wishful thinking is always funny.
From 05:15 onwards:
Do some f/1.8, f/2.8 1/2000, 1/5000 shots full daylight with the Odin and report back.
Odin support HSS 1/8000.
i'm often shoot wide open f/1.8 on midday, no problem at all.
never fail. i start to addict to it.
say bye-bye to ND filter.
this is exactly the kind of info i needed.i am on the verge of getting the odin..do you have a link i can view of the 1.8 high sync images at day time.i would really appreciate
"Another benefit of the Phottix Odin's system is that it operates via a 2.4GHz radio frequency with a range of over 100 meters (though I was able to get it to work from up to 15 meters further away). "
Do you mean 165 meters?
Nope, it's slated for over 100 meters, but I got it to work at around 115-120 meters (approximately 15 meters over its spec.).
already tested it.
it work far from it (from my experience) about 300+ meter.
seems like a real rip off of Nikons SU-800
SU-800 operates via infrared signals like Canon's and is not as reliable at distances or around corners. Odin is radio controlled so doesn't have those limitations
True, radio frequency is superior to infrared in the world of wireless flash triggers.
Kinda reads like a brochure, but I'm glad PW has some competition.
It's a review of a product that's really good, works well, and offers good value compared to the competition. Do you want us to just make up some weaknesses so it sounds less positive? I'm not sure that'd be helpful.
Its not that I do not appreciate the review, its just that the tone strikes me as being a bit more like a advertisement than the actual technical content. I know its difficult to write a review that suits everyone (from experience), so just consider it as a well intentioned bit of input.
This reads more like sales hype than a review. What types of tests were run? Has it been tested with all flash units, or just one? A test plan that others can reproduce would make it more convincing.
I somehow do not get much of a feeling of confidence in the product from the review.
Keep trying though, something is better than nothing at all.
Great review. I use the Pixel Kings, and was looking at these Odins to control groups as the Pixels don't do that in TTL. Pixel tells me that group control is coming via a Firmware update, but at this point Odins have the advantage here.
I recently purchased Pixel Kings, have they come up with new firmware and have you every upgraded the firmware on yours? Odin is was too expensive, especially if you need 4 or more receivers.
To those who thinks this review reads like an ad: The Odins are as good as the review claims. I've owned the old Pocketwisards with no power control, I've owned the radiopoppers which deserve credit for starting the radio TTL revolution but does not deserve credit for much else as their system (at least v1) sucked, I then purchased the PocketWizard Flex system on the merit of their old system and truth be told will never buy anything from them again. I then purchased the Odins and found myself in near Nirvana. Canon have bested the Odins now with their own proprietary system, but at double the price the Odins are a far better value. What speaks in favour of the new Canon system is greater accuracy on ETTL2, and less boxes to assemble as the flash units already contain the radio circuitry. As for the other poster who claims that the Canon system introduces a lag on the recycle - I have no issues with the Canon flash system on my Canon 5D3 and I am falling in love with it.
canonluber, they have done two firmware updates since they released it and they are pretty easy to upgrade. However you do need a windows based PC to do it.

In a unanimous vote after little discussion, the City Commission approved sending a resolution to Congress urging it to enact a new ban on assault-style weapons and high-capacity ammunition loaders.
"I want to send a message to our congressmen that this discussion needs to take place," said Mayor Craig Cates, who began his comments by announcing that he owns two guns.
Cates, however, added that gun control decisions are out of the city's realm.
"This is not a debate we should be having at our level," he said.
Only one resident spoke against the resolution, saying it was an "attack" on the constitutional right to bear arms.
"I submit the Second Amendment is not under attack; children in schools are," City Commissioner Clayton Lopez said at the panel's meeting at Old City Hall, 510 Greene St. "If this is the first step to dealing with the overall problem, then so be it."
The resolution, first posed to the commission by Police Chief Donie Lee, will go to the Florida Keys' congressional delegate on behalf of the island.
Lee proposed the measure in the immediate days after the Dec. 14 schoolhouse massacre of 20 first-graders and their teachers at Newtown, Conn. by a single gunman.
"When your chief of police says to get these off the streets, you better listen to him," said Commissioner Teri Johnston.
"I have yet to hear one citizen justify why you need an assault weapon. It's a common-sense move for this community. It does not impact the Second Amendment. It still allows people to bear arms."
The resolution supports "legislation banning assault style weapons and high capacity magazines; urging Congress to enact legislation to require mandatory background checks and training in conjunction with every firearm purchase in the United States."
The framers of the Constitution "could not anticipate the destructive power of modern assault weapons," the resolution says.
Officer at HOB?
The unspeakable crime against 6- and 7-year-old children and their caretakers in Connecticut spurred President Barack Obama's $500 million plan to regulate gun ownership.
Along the island chain, residents and their elected officials did what the rest of America did: reconsider security at public schools.
In a second agenda item on Wednesday, commissioners unanimously approved a resolution that directs city staff to work with the schools superintendent and local law enforcement to "safeguard the city's schoolchildren."
Key West High School has had a police officer assigned to the school since the early 1990s. During holidays and the summer, the "school resource officer" patrols the road.
In August, the School Board approved reimbursing the city $74,121 for the police services.
Commissioner Billy Wardlow on Wednesday night said Horace O'Bryant Middle School needs its own officer, too, before it opens in the fall as the city's first and only K-8 public school.
This fall, the HOB midtown campus will grow to about 1,000 students, as the Glynn Archer Elementary School building is emptied and the students move into brand-new classrooms at HOB.
Principal Mike Henriquez attended Wednesday's meeting, and also recommended putting an officer at HOB for student and teacher safety.
HOB had its own school resource office for 1¬½ years, Henriquez said, but the School District lost a big grant and the middle school, which has about 700 kids enrolled, was left without one.
Wardlow said the resolution should focus on HOB, and that the county, the city and the schools should pitch in, given the fact that many students from up the Keys attend school in Key West.
"We have so many different ethnic groups that live in Key West and attend HOB," said Wardlow. "It makes it difficult for an eighth-grader and a kindergartner mingling in a hallway or a restroom."
The commission also:
• Pledged support for the reconstruction of the Florida Keys SPCA shelter on College Road, which was deemed badly in need of repair, and to direct the city manager to deliver a report on the city-owned properties near the shelter. The county has asked the city for more land for the project.
• Approved the debut of the Bone Island Bazaar at the Truman Waterfront this spring. Local attorney Candida Andriole created the event.
• For a six-month trial period, changed the 9 a.m. meeting time of the Key West Bight Management District Board to 5 p.m., at Old City Hall, to encourage more public participation. The Bight Board on Jan. 9 voted 4-3 to change the time.

Anyone who loves music, particularly great songs, probably remembers the moment he first listened to "The Girl From Ipanema" or "Desafinado". For me it was something like the summer of 1962. As a teenager, and fledgling musician, I was in orbit around the music of Motown, The Beatles and Chicago radio Jazz DJ Sid McCoy.
Then I heard the composer Jobim, and I found a part of myself. The mysteries of the long shaped melodies, and the complex harmonic structures completely resonated in me. Pretty much everything I ever composed, or enjoyed listening to ever since had some root in that moment of discovery.
Years passed and I made my mark as a musician, and for perhaps emotional and spiritual reasons, in the early '90's, I began listening again to ALL of Jobim's body of work. Only now I was much more equipped to recognize qualities that I could not grasp when I was a kid.
I also embarked on casual explorations of all Brazilian Music from the 1950's forward. This included reading as much as I could find, in English, about Jobim's development, his history, his life.
There was puzzlingly little about the man himself, his personal challenges, demons, triumphs. What was he thinking about? Obviously, we'll never know.
Then came my discovery, on the internet, of Antonio Carlos Jobim: Um Homem Iluminado, by Helena Jobim. (Available in Portuguese, and perhaps, Japanese, but not English).
What precious nuggets of insight lay frustratingly out of my ignorant reach?
In my reading internet articles, I had come across the learned and entertaining writing of Professor Dario Borim, who shared a love of music and particularly Jobim, with me. I took a chance and wrote to him, and thus began a labor of love to bring the charming memoir to a huge population of English reading music lovers. Mr. Borim took time from his busy activities as a teacher, writer, Radio personality and took on the translation. I am forever grateful to him.

Hello RL...great article...u have experienced some great eras of music...and it definitely shows in your beautiful
repertoire of music and compositions ..Robert u should be very proud of your accomplishments.. we get to enjoy all the hard work u did:):)and r still doing...this is great keep going don't stop..our ears love it:)...Look forward
to the book on Jobim..glad u wrote to Professor Borim..it is wonderful that u discovered how the Brazilian music touched your heart and soul...I love listening to "The Bossa Project"...have fun at the convention, willl
miss it this year..have enjoyed attending the past 5 yrs..u guys make it special 4 your fans...excited to see Chicago at Mystic Lake Casino May 13th..see u then
Really enjoyed this Robert cause I knew you had liked art in high school but I always wanted to know more about who your own personal influences are and how they impacted you in different times of your life. Believe it or not by me just taking Zumba exercise classes this year, I've been exposed to all kinds of latin music from all over and who would have thought I would be loving all these different types of music, it's great to experience that! great stuff here, thank you. roseanna
Hi Robert,
I really enjoyed your story. Professor Borim seems like one really great person to take the time to do that. Its always interesting to learn about the musicians and their music and how the songs were actually written and what the concept was behind each song, especially your favorite songs they have written. Thank you for sharing this as well as many other stories with all of us.
Wow, this hits close to my musical home. I also rediscovered music in the early '90's that I listened to, but could not grasp when I was a kid. However, the gems I was listening to were penned by Mr. Lamm. I wasn't equipped to truly appreciate or understand a song like "Questions" or "Someday" when I was a child, but my grown up ears were able to hear all sorts of beautiful and thought provoking things my juvenile ears could not. I continue to rediscover and reinterpret music by one of my favorite songwriters....decades down the rediscovery road.
I appreciate the post, Robert. I haven't listened to Jobim in a while and I've truly enjoyed weaving through youtube this morning listening to him. Thanks for the nudge. I always love listening to Bossa. Your Bossa Project CD is a favorite of mine and always seems to lift my mood!
All the best,
I'll be looking for that translation. Available at internet outlets, Robert?
Also, I remember the first time I heard Jobim with Astrid Gilberto. She almost whispered right into your ear when she sang and that made it extremely sensual (not in a sexual sense). Jobim's music has always been good for the lightening of spirit. Excellent! Thanks for this post. - Jimmy

Protect wildlife
The Board of Supervisors is telling federal park officials the county doesn't care that the Golden Gate National Recreation Area spent a decade working on the proposed Dog Management Plan.
With the board's last-minute action prior to the closing of the comment period, the supervisors admitted they did not take the time to properly review the proposed rule-making. Nor did the board take note of the dozens of published, peer-reviewed studies showing that domestic dogs can and do indeed impact wildlife and sensitive habitats in numerous ways.
As a special-interest group, for quite some time, involved dog owners have been loudly and in some cases obnoxiously protesting the GGNRA proposal, regardless of the science and thought behind them.
In developing this resolution, the motivation must be related to growing tired of listening to some of the owners of our estimated 100,000 dogs in this county whine about "their rights" to allow free roaming on federal and county parklands.
How can their resolution be taken seriously when even the title was changed at the last moment? The resolution loses its legitimacy when passed without serious consideration of the facts.
I love dogs just as much as any other owner, but the board must speak for the long-term protection of wildlife first and foremost.
That was largely lost in the discussion. With so many dogs in the county, we particularly need rules that address the protection of our remaining wildlife corridors.
The Feds should give the supervisors' resolution the appropriate weight it deserves.

Quarter-gobbling meters
Who is responsible for the fiendish scheme to ante up revenue for San Rafael by installing the Darth Vader parking meters?
Tarring and feathering is too extreme and it's finally raining so we can't put them in the public stocks to shame them.
Twenty-five cents for 10 minutes?
How many of us have a constant stream of quarters to plug in 12 of them to obtain a space for two hours, the time it takes to have lunch, drop the shoes off and peruse the shops.
Think of the corner of Lincoln Avenue and Third Street, where people go to get what they need at the Goodwill on slim budgets.
Consider the energy needed to keep those infernal blinking lights on the new meters.
If you lose the grand I probably spend in a year in the shops of San Rafael, what have you gained?
It is pennywise and pound foolish. I'm going shopping in San Anselmo, Corte Madera and Novato.

text: At first I thought that bird was some sort of a Kingfisher. Then I saw where you are from. I have heard them laugh .... probably at the zoo if I remember right. Kingfishers sound like machine gun fire as they fly looking for fish but maybe I should start calling that a laugh too. Thanks for the great photo and information. And oh yes, I will be singing that song for the rest of the day also.

The content partnership between BauerWorks and Myer began with Emporium magazine, Australia's largest-circulating fashion and lifestyle magazine. A combination of quality content and media sales expertise transformed the existing magazine (previously published by another media company) and turned it into a key driver of engagement for the MyerOne loyalty program and sales for the business across all categories. Within a few years, the same formula was applied to weekly EDMs which, like the magazine, have produced phenomenal results in terms of both sales and engagement, including a 44% sales uplift for a promotion of Karl Lagerfield, Emporio Armani and Michael Kors watches, and a 53% uplift for a showcase of Alexander McQueen bags.
Emporium's reputation as a fashion insider was boosted even further when former Vogue editor-in-chief Kirstie Clements was named as an editorial consultant for the brand. Kirstie has helped to attract editorial contributions from some of Australia's most exceptional creative talents in photography and styling, underscoring Emporium's agenda-setting credentials.
As it continues to strengthen its customer offering with enriched digital and in-store experiences, Myer has partnered with BauerWorks to launch the content hub, myeremporium.com.au

Extravagant Lunar New Year celebrations are rolling out in Sydney and Melbourne, as they are in East Asia, but a Communist Party-led reaction against conspicuous consumption is taking the shine off some celebrations in China.
Upmarket Chinese restaurants including Marigold in Sydney and The Flower Drum in Melbourne were fully booked for lunch and dinner on Friday, while guests at a private Chinese New Year celebration at Sydney's Opera House on Thursday evening saw a full-scale light show and fireworks. A 100-metre dragon was unveiled at Melbourne's Docklands.
New Year feasting and cultural events continue in both cities until February 9, with dragon boat races and a dragon ball in Sydney next weekend. This Saturday, Sydney's Koreatown holds an all-day festival in Pitt Street and on Sunday night the Chinese community holds its $1.2 million twilight parade with 3000 performers in the CBD. Crown Casino in Melbourne is staging a hawkers bazaar until Sunday.
The celebrations come amid reports from China that Lunar New Year festivities have ben stripped back as Chinese President
While Chinese workers in Beijing and Shanghai complain of having their bonuses cut, being forced to pay for their end-of-year office parties, and a no-frills approach to public celebrations, there is no sign of Australia's Chinese community following suit.
Chinese-born Australian resident Monika Tu, 52, celebrated Lunar New Year's Eve on Thursday night with close friends at parties in Vaucluse and Cremorne. "We know what's happening in China, but the celebrations here are continuing as usual," she said.
Ms Tu's friends were treated to traditional handmade noodles – a symbol of long life – prepared by a private chef, and sipped on Penfolds Grange and Henschke Hill of Grace wine. "It's a real 'East-meets-West' style celebration," Ms Tu said, "But everyone here is still making sure they do it in style."
More than half the tables served on Friday in Sydney's Marigold ordered lobster, restaurant manager Connie Cheung said. The dish, usually shared between 12 people, costs about $400.
The restaurant expects to go through more than 150 kilograms of lobster each day over the next seven days, and between 60 kilograms and 80 kilograms of abalone, another Chinese delicacy. "It sounds like its a lot of money, but the way most families see it is that they only really order these sorts of things once a year," Ms Cheung said.
Top-class Chinese restaurants in Beijing including Jing Restaurant and Meifu Jiayan, which usually operate at capacity during the Lunar New Year, had seats available both for lunch and dinner on Friday.
The CCTV Spring Festival Gala, an annual state-run television showcase broadcast throughout China lost some of its glitz, while some of the provincial showcases were cancelled.
"Lighting and decoration will use the most economical technologies. Simplicity will be striven for," the official Chinese news agency said of the CCTV gala, which featured stories about workers living outside big cities, compared to headline act Celine Dion, who performed in 2013.
Thirty-year-old office worker at the Postal Savings Bank in Liaoning, Yang Yu complained his and his wife's year-end bonus in the hundreds of dollars was cut in half from last year and their staff party was cancelled.
Public posters throughout Beijing warned citizens against letting off fireworks, which are a traditional feature of New Year celebrations. Councils say it is an attempt to curb air pollution, but residents aren't so sure.
"It's all part trying to look like people aren't throwing away money," a Beijing office worker said.
"It's all because of Xi Jinping's new rules," he said. "All of my colleagues were pretty annoyed and angry. No one knows if the managers got their bonuses cut as well."
For many Chinese professionals, its customary around New Year to receive twice their usual salary for the month, in addition to a bonus.

No telling what would have happened if Alfonso Cabrera hadn't taken a wrong turn that day, and found himself sitting outside the discipline office at Downey High School when Principal Tom Houts walked by and did a double take.
Who was that elderly gentleman sitting with the kids called in for truancy?"They sat there together with their shoulders slumped and heads down," Houts said. "I started laughing. I asked him what he was here for?"Not truancy, that's for sure. The last time Cabrera ditched class was 1942."I'm looking for the 1941 school yearbook," he said. "I want to show my grandchildren the picture of me holding the trophy for setting the school record in the 100-yard dash."Houts smiled and invited him into his office. "He seemed like such a humble, sweet man. I wanted to know more about him," he said.
Cabrera talked about growing up on Dolan Street, just a block from the school. How he shined shoes and caddied at the local country club to help support his family. All six Cabrera kids chipped in.
At Downey High, he played baseball, basketball, football, and ran on the track team where he set the school record in the 100-yard dash.
"I asked the lady at the front desk if the school still had my trophy, but she didn't think so," Cabrera said. "She said there was a room in back full of old trophies and I could take a look.
"But I was afraid I'd take somebody else's trophy by mistake. That wouldn't be right."
No, it wouldn't, Houts agreed. "What year did you graduate?" the principal asked.
"I didn't," Cabrera said. "I dropped out in 1942 to get a full-time job to help my family. I was working at the Long Beach shipyards as a welder and gofer in '43 when I got a letter from the government."
His draft notice. For the next 27 months, Cabrera served as a cannoneer and mine-sapper with the 182nd infantry serving in New Guinea and the Philippines.
"What's a mine-sapper?" Houts asked.
"I'd get down on my hands and knees, and crawl out in front of our tanks, looking to make sure there were no land mines," Cabrera said.
It's all there on the citation for bravery the government sent his mother when he got out -- along with the Bronze Star.
"Disregarding his own safety, Private Cabrera encountered enemy fire so intense he was forced to take cover, but continued to crawl forward defusing the mines."
"Come with me a moment, I'd like to show you something," Houts said, walking Cabrera down the hallway to where 16 plaques hung as a memorial to the Downey High graduates killed in World War II.
Hundreds of students walked by these plaques every day, the principal knew, but did they ever really see them? Or feel anything? Were they just names on a wall?
"If you don't mind, I'd like you to say a few words to the kids in our history classes," Houts said. "I think they need to hear your story."
He wouldn't mind at all, Cabrera said.
So that's how this friendship began between the principal and the elderly gentleman sitting on truancy row a couple of years ago.
When it came time this year for the school to choose six distinguished alumni for its Wall of Fame, the name Alfonso Cabrera came up.
"But he never graduated," one of the people on the selection committee said.
"Well, maybe it's time he did," Principal Houts said.
When her dad arrived for the 2013 graduation ceremonies this June, all heads turned, said Magdalena Pacheco, one of Cabrera's five children.
It isn't often people see an 89-year-old high school grad in cap and gown."Dad took us on a tour of the school before the ceremony," his daughter said. "He wanted to show us his picture on the school's Wall of Fame. He was so proud. We all were."When Principal Houts took the stage that night he talked about the special graduate they would be recognizing with an honorary diploma -- how he never got around to graduating with his class in 1943 because he had mouths to feed and a war to fight.
"There were 12,000 people there that night and they all stood and gave him a standing ovation," Houts said. "It was an incredibly emotional moment. Afterward, the line stretched across the field with people wanting to shake his hand."
Sitting at home this week with his high school diploma on the table in front of him, and his Bronze Star on the wall, Alfonso Cabrera was a happy, content man.
Still, it would be nice to have that old 100-yard dash trophy, he said, smiling.

Warning: Spoiler alert! The first fatality of the series took place in last night's episode of Love/Hate, but who was it?
Viewers watched as republican terror boss Dano (Jason Barry) was kneecapped by an assailant who told him: "The movement doesn't need riff raff like you."
Dano was left crawling in the mud while Sinead O'Connor's This Is A Rebel Song played out as he fought for his last few breaths.
It was a tense and violent episode, which saw Lizzie arrested for a road rage incident and Wayne kidnapped by Nidge and threatened with torture.
However, the rushed operation goes awry and everyone ends up getting arrested. Wayne denies to the police that he has been kidnapped – he's not a rat – and they are all released
Take a look at some shots from the episode below.

Aquamira's Filtration Technology
Aquamira's blend of filtration particles is heated beyond the melting point of the binder material until the particles adhere to each other in a process called "sintering." The result is a highly porous, carbon-impregnated filter block with a tightly controlled pore structure. Aquamira Filtration Technology incorporates both mechanical and absorptive filtration processes to remove both physical and chemical contaminants. Although the Frontier filter does reduce bacterial and viruses, it is not certified to remove the more than 99.9999 percent of bacteria and 99.99 percent of viruses required by the U.S. EPA water purifier standard. For maximum protection, use the Frontier in conjunction with water treatment drops or water purifier tablets.
About Aquamira
Aquamira water treatment drops were introduced to the outdoor market in 1999, and have been a favorite of top outdoor guides and instructors ever since. The original idea was simple--people should be able to drink water anywhere, and the water should be safe to drink, taste good, and be easy to treat. This idea inspired the company's research team to develop the technology for a variety of portable drinking water systems and a line of water treatment products that effectively treat water in all kinds of environments, including when camping, traveling in a foreign country, or faced with a disaster. More recently, Aquamira has expanded its vision to include providing basic life-preserving items for both individuals and groups, such as villages in developing countries. Aquamira is headquartered in Logan, Utah.

Student Veterans: A New Energy on Campus
A generation or so ago, college students and military veterans often mixed as well as oil and water. Fortunately, Vietnam-era attitudes toward veterans have been replaced by new acceptance, new respect, and new federal veterans benefits, bringing a new generation of veterans to Rutgers University, Newark. And there is an added wrinkle: Many of those veterans are female.
More than 250 students are attending R-N courtesy of one of the federal GI Bills, which provide up to 36 months of education benefits for both undergraduate- and graduate-level studies. Enrollment has almost doubled since 2008, when Rutgers began a university-wide initiative to recruit more veterans and provide them with services tailored to their unique needs. The veteran population includes active duty veterans -- both those who served stateside and those who served in Iraq and Afghanistan -- as well as National Guard members.
As part of the university's efforts to serve student veterans, each campus has a veteran services coordinator; at R-N it is Gerald Massenburg, associate chancellor for student life. "The number of veterans enrolled at our university has grown, which is a testament to the enhanced delivery of service from the university on behalf of these brave men and women," he states.
In fact, the University as a whole is ranked third nationally as "Best for Veterans" by Military Times Edge magazine.
Rutgers-Newark is a learning experience for both the vets and their classmates, faculty and staff. Moreover, the student veterans add a new dimension to the overall cultural richness of a campus that already is diverse in terms of ethnicity and religion.
"Veterans are welcomed and well-received on campus, by classmates and professors," says U.S. Army active duty veteran Michele Terreri, who is president of the Rutgers Student Veterans Organization. Many veterans are older, and many are married with children, so the large number of non-traditional students on campus makes them feel at home, she observes. What's more, Rutgers-Newark is not a party school, which also fits in with many of the veterans' lifestyles.
"Less then .001% of the population sign that contract to give their life and wear the uniform, and everyone does it for a different reason. But I think having someone who has either served or is serving in class is pretty awesome," states student Lisa Panilla. Lisa was so inspired by the veterans on campus that she herself enlisted in the National Guard.
Alex Neeley, an active duty Marine Corps vet, is earning his MBA at the Rutgers Business School, where 100 veterans are enrolled. He believes that his background helps him bring a "different perspective" to class discussions. He likes the fact that his MBA classmates, like Neeley himself, tend to be older, more serious about their degree and more focused, with real-world experience, all of which make him feel very comfortable.
Terreri and Neeley believe that professors appreciate their maturity and focus in the classroom, an observation echoed by Psychology Professor Paul Boxer, who has taught veterans in several classes. "I can vouch for their engagement in coursework, their commitment to doing well, and their work ethic as indicated by attendance and performance."

European Urban and Regional Studies is a highly ranked, peer reviewed international journal. It provides an original contribution to academic and policy debate related to processes of urban and regional development in Europe.
European Urban and Regional Studies publishes peer reviewed academic papers of around 8000 words and shorter 2000 word 'Euro Commentaries' that address key policy developments or political events that affect European urban and regional development.
European Urban and Regional Studies adheres to a rigorous double-blind reviewing policy in which the identity of both the reviewer and author are always concealed from both parties Given the increase in the volume of articles we are receiving, similarly to other journals the Editors of EURS now do a preliminary review of articles and reject articles that in their view will not successfully pass through the reviewing process. This usually applies to articles where authors have misunderstood the EURS remit and range of coverage or where the quality is very substandard. The advantage is that authors gain a quicker response to their submission and referees' time is saved for papers that are more likely to be published. After this stage manuscripts will be subject to anonymous peer review by at least two specialist referees.
All parties who have made a substantive contribution to the article should be listed as authors. Principal authorship, authorship order, and other publication credits should be based on the relative scientific or professional contributions of the individuals involved, regardless of their status. A student is usually listed as principal author on any multiple-authored publication that substantially derives from the student's dissertation or thesis.
All contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed in an Acknowledgements section. Examples of those who might be acknowledged include a person who provided purely technical help, or a department chair who provided only general support.
2.3.1 Writing Assistance
Individuals who provided writing assistance, e.g. from a specialist communciations company, do not qualify as authors and so should be included in the Acknowledgements section. Authors must disclose any writing assistance – including the individual's name, company and level of input – and identify the entity that paid for this assistance").
It is not necessary to disclose use of language polishing services.
Please supply any personal acknowledgements separately to the main text to facilitate anonymous peer review.]
European Urban and Regional Studies requires all authors to acknowledge their funding in a consistent fashion under a separate heading. Please visit the Funding Acknowledgements page on the SAGE Journal Author Gateway to confirm the format of the acknowledgment text in the event of funding, or state that: This research received no specific grant from any funding agency in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.
2.5 Declaration of conflicting interests
European Urban and Regional Studies encourages authors to include a declaration of any conflicting interests and recommends you review the good practice guidelines on the SAGE Journal Author Gateway
SAGE acknowledges the importance of research data availability as an integral part of the research and verification process for academic journal articles.
European Urban and Regional Studies requests all authors submitting any primary data used in their research articles if the articles are accepted to be published in the online version of the journal, or provide detailed information in their articles on how the data can be obtained. This information should include links to third-party data repositories or detailed contact information for third-party data sources. Data available only on an author-maintained website will need to be loaded onto either the journal's platform or a third-party platform to ensure continuing accessibility. Examples of data types include but are not limited to statistical data files, replication code, text files, audio files, images, videos, appendices, and additional charts and graphs necessary to understand the original research. The editor can also grant exceptions for data that cannot legally or ethically be released. All data submitted should comply with Institutional or Ethical Review Board requirements and applicable government regulations. For further information, please contact the editorial office

Equally, we seek to protect the reputation of the journal against malpractice. Submitted articles may be checked using duplication-checking software. Where an article is found to have plagiarised other work or included third-party copyright material without permission or with insufficient acknowledgement, or where authorship of the article is contested, we reserve the right to take action including, but not limited to: publishing an erratum or corrigendum (correction); retracting the article (removing it from the journal); taking up the matter with the head of department or dean of the author's institution and/or relevant academic bodies or societies; banning the author from publication in the journal or all SAGE journals, or appropriate legal action.
