We've got a busy next few months, packed with projects launching, a growing studio space, and some amazing new clients coming on board. In the midst of all that good stuff, we're also sending some Odopod thought leaders out into the world to participate in some talks and some panels in some amazing places. Come meet us!
RE:DESIGN/UX Design
April 30 - May 1, San Francisco
Join Albert Poon, Odopod's Director of Interaction Design in his talk, Welcome to the Post-PC Era.
About this talk: The age of desktop being the primary platform for digital experiences is over. Yes, there are hundreds of millions of traditional PCs with web browsers. They will not disappear. But even the most cursory look at the sales numbers should make it clear that the era of the big screen-keyboard-mouse digital experience is waning.
May 17 - 18, Santa Monica
Join Guthrie Dolin, Director of Brand and Strategy and David Bliss, Founder and Executive Technical Director in Connected Personal Objects: Getting Intimate with the Internet of Things.
About this talk: The Internet of Things is a vast and rapidly expanding landscape that encompasses complex infrastructural systems to the everyday objects found in our homes and even on our person. At its core is a network of uniquely identifiable "things" with the ability to sense their environment then communicate with one another and us. In our presentation we will breakdown the key attributes and technologies that define these connected "things" as well as demonstrate how some of the most progressive connected personal objects may be shaping our future.
May 22 - 25, Montreal
Join Odopod Founder and Executive Creative Director, Tim Barber in The Eureka! Moment, a discussion lead by Dr. Rex Jung, assistant research professor in the department of neurosurgery at the University of New Mexico who is exploring the structural and biochemical correlates of intelligence, creativity and positive affect.
DMI Design/Management Thinking 24
June 19-20, Portland
Guthrie Dolin will be doing a talk on Little "i" Innovation: The Practice of Continual Incremental Improvement
About this talk: When it comes to design-led innovation, we love the big idea—those breakthrough inventions that signal a disruptive change. But these big ideas are rarely the result of a single moment of genius. Instead, it comes from the culmination of smaller ideas, developed over time, from the minds of many. The ideas that really stick in our fast-paced digital world are the ones that "live in beta"—embracing a culture of learning, adapting and improving every day. In Little "i" Innovation, we will explore how the process of continual, incremental improvement has been used to develop some of the world's most innovative and dominant consumer brands.
If you're headed to any of these events, please be sure to join us or just stop by and say hello. We'd love to meet you!
Wow! This is amazing! I'd really like to go to these!
We're still in San Francisco, still under the same leadership, still doing great work (here are some case studies). But now we're a lot larger. We've joined a host of Nurun offices around the globe, all part of Publicis Worldwide.
Our focus remains on helping clients succeed in a connected world with products and services that transform the consumer experience.
We continue to work with forward-thinking, longstanding clients including Tesla, Google, Sony and Audemars Piguet. More recently, we've established new relationships with Dolby, the San Francisco 49ers, GoPro, and Blu Homes.
We welcome the opportunity to work with you too.

AKRON -- A mother, 21, gets life in prison for bringing her son to boyfriend's house to live in rat-infested basement while there was meth cooking.
Judge Thomas Parker sentenced Heather Lerch, 21, of St. Leger Avenue in Akron, Ronald Legg, 22, of Akron, and Allen Kostra, 25, of Akron, for their roles in the death of 17-month-old Patrick Lerch.
Heather Lerch was sentenced to life in prison with parole eligibility after 22 years. Ronald Legg was sentenced to life in prison with parole eligibility after 27 years. Kostra was sentenced to nine years in prison.
Patrick died February 26 after ingesting large amounts of methamphetamine.
Heather Lerch and her son Patrick moved into the home of Heather's boyfriend, Randy Legg, on St. Leger Avenue just days before Patrick died.
Patrick was kept in the home's rat-infested basement in the care of Ronald Legg and Allen Kostra, who were cooking and high on meth throughout Patrick's last days.
"The monstrous actions of these three individuals are incomprehensible. They sat back and did nothing while an innocent child suffered," said Summit County Prosecutor Sherri Bevan Walsh.
Kostra pleaded guilty on Aug. 16 to involuntary manslaughter, child endangering and illegal manufacture of drugs.
A jury found Heather guilty of murder, involuntary manslaughter and child endangering on Aug. 27.
On Sept. 21, Ronald Legg pleaded guilty to murder, child endangering and illegal manufacturing of drugs.
Randy Legg, 20, of St. Leger Avenue in Akron, pleaded guilty on Sept. 21 to involuntary manslaughter and illegal possession of chemicals to manufacture drugs.
Parker will sentence Randy Legg at 9 a.m. Oct. 23.

The parody is interrupted by a voiceover: "Stop, is this really necessary? Equal pay is just commonsense."
Young women are often accused of dropping the ball on feminism, and plenty of young women disavow feminism on the grounds that they've got all the choices they need. Not all the choices that Gen Y women make are enthusiastically received by older feminists. And when you're being scolded for vajazzling, feminism can sound very serious indeed.
So how do you get young women to think about boring issues like pay equality?
Fake moustaches, of course. For anyone who hasn't been to an under-30s party recently, these babies are big. Over the top man-drag is so hot right now. The ladies love them. So to turn this cultural phenomenon into a serious message about gender inequality is clever.
But will it work? Beyond jokes about "man-overs" lie complex issues of entrenched inequality. We can crunch the numbers on equal pay — and when we do, we find that women get paid less than men, however you slice it. But such measures don't reflect the complexity of the choices that Australian women have to make around work and families. And these choices aren't always as available as those who would argue that we're living in equal times would have you believe.
Today is the centenary of International Womens' Day, an opportunity to celebrate the many steps that have been taken toward gender equality around the world. It's a global event and an opportunity too to reflect on how the fight for womens' rights changes depending on where you come from, on how much you earn, on who you love. When we're talking about the limits to the choices Australian women can make, we are talking about first world problems.
A hundred years ago women were campaigning for equal pay for equal work. What this meant then was getting paid the same rate per hour as men did for the same work. In 1911 in Australia, women had the vote but they weren't being paid at the same rate as men and there were no female representatives in state or federal parliament. It was only in 1969 that the idea of equal pay really caught on in Australia. That's when female rates of pay (that is, lower rates of pay) were abolished for the same job. Pay parity — at least on the books — was eventually achieved in 1972.
But the gender pay gap currently stands at 18 per cent — and it's worsening.
Why is this so? The very concept of equal pay in 2011 might require some calibration. One of the challenges to formulating arguments around equal pay for equal work is that the participation of so many women in the workforce differs from that of men. Why is that? Because women bear children and perform the bulk of care duties in families. Women and men don't always do the same work.
FAHCSIA commissioned research on the gender pay gap which was published in 2009. The study found there were many drivers to the gender pay gap, including children. No surprises — tiny feet don't just pitter patter, they trample wages. Women with children participate less in the labour market than women without children or men. Women with children earn less over their lifetimes.
There's no need to tell older women that this problem exists. Anyone with children or considering having a family has struggled with the conflict between having kids and a working life. Women ask themselves not only questions such as, "do I want to put my career on hold to have kids?", but also, "can I afford to have children?" Framing the decisions that women make around work and having children as a simple and selfish desire to have it all is missing the point: it's about economic security.
And what's wrong with having it all anyway? Men with children don't make the same career sacrifices as women: by and large, they stay at work. Given our great prosperity, why can't we offer young women like those targeted in the "man-over" ad the prospect of real choice in the workforce? Paid maternity leave will make it easier for many women to take time off to have kids. If women need more help to stay in the workforce once they've had them, they should be given it.
We need to keep campaigning for equal pay, and if obvious parody is what it takes to convince a new generation of women to start asking for real equality around work and family, then we're right behind it.
Happy International Women's Day!

I watched Gail Kelly last night on Q&A and it was revealed she is paid around 10 million dollars per year.
Blimey, what is this article about then? Gail doesn't wear a false moustache either!
Well, she might but she wasn't wearing it last night.
Ten million. Struth. She could afford a few facials and a hair tint with that I reckon! Perhaps even a castle in Spain.

Unfortunately a casual observation of the earnings of an individual does not have any value in assessing the validity of the argument made in this article.
"In 1911 in Australia, women had the vote"
This is not entirely correct. Some woman had the vote by that stage, but others, notably indigenous women, did not.
Posted Tuesday, March 8, 2011 - 14:44
Ok I'll be the bunny who bites.
I suspect the author is out of touch with the reality of men's options.
The reality is that most men who enter the slippery management pole meet a glass ceiling too....i.e. gender isn't the only or major impediment to the keys to the executive wash room.
Clearly the figures available are deceptive and misleading. There are more suitably qualified men who try and are blocked for 'political' reasons than suitably qualified women. Actual participation numbers are unknown. Raw data of the number of women in executive positions is at best incomplete.
Likewise the assumptions in the article that men simply continue their careers et sec implying they have choices is also misleading. At least the management level most have NO CHOICE as to the hours of actual work. This often exceed the 40 hrs by a significant margin. Their choice is either put in the hours sacrificing ( family) or be excluded from advancing (more money etc for the family demands) or sacked. I would suggest that the amount of expected O/t paid and unpaid is beyond the control of the average worker too. See the latest comparison between hours work in Aust and overseas. It is a giant leap in logic to assume that men today favour their careers over family by choice.
My complaint is with Feminism is that it entrenches the different attitudes adding to the problem.
Women being paid less FOR THE SAME WORK is unacceptable but is a Human rights problem and needs to be dealt with accordingly. After all women are human , or so I'm reliably informed by the family Coven (joke) that out number the male bastards in the family.
I find this article is being framed in past situations.

KristianX, mine was not a casual observation. I was all agog!
And why isn't Gail's income of any relevance? She is a woman as far as I could tell.
Posted Tuesday, March 8, 2011 - 16:08
@David Grayling
The article is arguing not "There are no wealthy women" but that women on average earn less than men - for the same work/role. Pointing out that a single woman has a multi-million dollar salary does not rebut the issue at hand.
For example;
The average of the series; 3,5,7,20 is 8.75
Subsequently claiming that the highest figure is 20 doesn't actually tell you anything about that 8.75 average. Indeed, that claim is already included in the original observation.
In much the same way, if most people wear white socks most of the time, seeing someone wearing blue socks doesn't mean the initial claim was wrong. What you need to do to show your point is demonstrate how one person wearing blue socks demonstrates most people aren't wearing white socks.
Your reply seems to be based on asserations that the article contains empirically demonstrable errors. To take your reply as anything as more than an kneejerk ill-informed rant you'll need to provide some specific data that refutes the claims made in the article and indeed the data which the article links to.
That said there are a couple of specific issues to be addressed.
gender isn't the only or major impediment to the keys to the executive wash room.
On this we can agree. Indeed, reading through feminist research and writing you'll see many of these other issues addressed, in varying degrees. If you are interested I can provide a number of texts you could begin with.
Feminists don't claim that all men have unimpeded access to the "executive wash room" but rather that being male is a condition of that access. In other words, womens access is disproportionally lower because of their gender.
My complaint is with Feminism is that it entrenches the different attitudes adding to the problem.
Which specific attitudes does feminism entrench and how do these add to the problem? Which feminist texts do you feel entrench these attitudes? Do some entrench these attitudes more than others?
Women being paid less FOR THE SAME WORK is unacceptable but is a Human rights problem and needs to be dealt with accordingly.
You are quite correct that the problem women are being paid less for work because they are women is a human rights problem. It is also a problem specifically for women. This seems to be an issue that a political/social movement would seek to address. That social movement is called feminism.

KristianX, thanks for lesson on averages. It was unnecessary.
You seem to ignore the fact that Gail Kelley (who heads Westpac) has smashed her way through the glass ceiling and earns 10 million dollars per year. If she can achieve this, why can't other women?
Quoting averages is also misleading as you well know.

So far you have been insulting to two people simply because they have a different perspectives to you.
I simply questioned the basis for author's 'assumptions' and the currency of them. I did not impugn the person or women.
If you want a discussion I'm all eyes and prepared to discuss and learn. You on the other hand appear to be on some crusade. If you want a brawl thank you for your thoughts and good night.
BTW I'm well aware of ideological arguments I simply favour whole of society approaches to human rights.
Perhaps you should read a bit about human behaviour and the primary aim of all "organisation" and its logical extensions.
Over to you.

@David Grayling
That is an interesting question, one which a lot of feminist scholars (among others) ask and research.
As far as I can tell you either head in the direction of an explanation by way of something like "there is systemic sexism that favours men over women" which is a statement that can accomodate the presence of a woman (or indeed several) in senior/executive roles.
Or you can begin questioning whether this is a natural state of being, women are generally less able to perform these tasks and this is reflected in their underrepresentation in senior positions.
For example; Prof Martha Lauzen of the San Diego State University has collected data on womens employment in Hollywood as directors, producers and so on. She has found that over the last 20 years women account for fewer than 10% of all directors. Source: http://womenintvfilm.sdsu.edu/research.html These results have been confirmed by the work of Assoc. Prof. Stacy Smith of USC Annenberg and others.
One explanation for this could be that women are not able to make successful films and are therefore not as likely to be hired. This suggestion though is doubtful considering further research which shows that the gender of the director is not a predictor for the financial success of a film, which is to say, films directed by women are just as likely to be as successful as those by men (it is budget, particularly the marketing budget, that most reliably predicts success).

 Overall, when women and men filmmakers have similar budgets for their films, the resulting box office grosses are also similar. In other
words, the sex of filmmakers does not determine box office grosses.
(Lauzen, 2008)

You can follow up on further research at the website above.
The reasons why Gail Kelly made it while others didn't are probably many. Maybe she is spectacularly talented, maybe she works for an organisation that takes equal opportunity seriously. The point being that her success does not in and of itself invalidate any claim about trends within the economy. You'd want to be arguing WHY a single case proves the trend is incorrectly interpreted.
Posted Wednesday, March 9, 2011 - 11:32
I'm glad you're happy to discuss the issues you raised. I'm not sure how I've insulted anyway but apologise if that is the case.
In my first reply to you I noted three claims you've made and called them to account. If you are indeed willing to have a discussion, by which I mean, present an argument with reference to any existing research or scholarly work, then perhaps these three points would make a good launching point.
Perhaps you should read a bit about human behaviour and the primary aim of all "organisation" and its logical extensions.
I'm not entirely sure what you are suggesting here. Could you elaborate?
I'm well aware of ideological arguments I simply favour whole of society approaches to human rights.
What does a whole of society approach entail? Again, I'm not entirely sure what you are suggesting. Is your claim that feminists don't think that the whole of society needs to be considered when addressing problems of gender inequality?
Posted Wednesday, March 9, 2011 - 14:17
While my personal experience (working in the public service, where the male/female executive split is pretty much 50/50) is different to that in other sectors, there are factors which go towards explaining the pay inequity. Women have babies! And usually, take the majority of time off to raise said offspring - with the consequent impacts this will have on future earning capacity etc. Women are also more likely to work part time, take time off for sick children etc etc. Has this been taken into consideration? As more men take up roles as equal carers, the pay gender gap will decrease. We too will be passed over for promotion, or not be able to make that important meeting because we have a sick child, or have to pick them up at school.
Women in the public service generally get better access (than their sisters in the private sector) to carers leave, part time conditions and child care - so perhaps the 50/50 spread in executives and managers represents that?
Until society changes - i.e. recognises that reproduction is a part of the life (rather than something you do in your spare time), and men take more responsibility - the gender pay imbalance will remain. Clever campaigns with moustaches will only get you so far - and makes light of the deep sociological, societal and structural problems which the pay inequity represent.
Posted Wednesday, March 9, 2011 - 14:59
Women have babies!... Has this been taken into consideration?
Yes. This is considered in the research linked to in the very article we are commenting on.
David Grayling
Posted Wednesday, March 9, 2011 - 16:03
Kristen, Cadwallon has made some good points.
If women decided to remain childless and they competed with men on an equal footing, then the glass ceiling smashers might increase significantly (though Gail has children and 10 million dollars per year).
But many women want to have it all, kids, careers, the whole lot. Few in this world have it all and kids of career-minded couples surely suffer most but they have no voice!
Women can speak out, can force changes. Kids can't!

Where are these claims substantiated?
All my (past and present) colleagues seemed to receive exactly the same pay
for every position (in Cleaning, Hospitality, and Sales).
I reckon that the 2 main differences in the sum total of female to male earnings are:
1) The woman's choices to have a child (6 months off work at least),
and to be the main parent (maybe 6 years minimum off work full-time-equivalent?).
2) Various non-gender-based factors, including:
who takes their annual leave (less income), and who cashes it out instead (more$).
who takes more unpaid leave (<$), and who less unpaid leave (>$).
who does more paid Overtime/ After Hours/ Public Holidays/ Weekends shifts (>$).
who gets the unpaid perks (like free rentals and bills) (<$), and who the cash (>$).
who gets the massive tax breaks/write-offs (<$), and who gets extra gross income (>$).
not to mention who gets more undeclared income, goods, and services (>$).
Or maybe more women admire 'Dolce far niente' than the ways of Marcus Crassus ;-)

kristianx It would appear that you missed my cue to context in my original post. When I said [Perhaps you should read a bit about human behaviour and the primary aim of all "organisation" and its logical extensions.]
HUMAN BEHAVIOUR - Tries gain dominance over others by what ever means available in their climbing of Maslow's hierarchy. In context of the article gender is often the last factor involved. By your reasoning males get the job over females BECAUSE they are males. In today's market I doubt that is significantly the case to warrant the generalisation. I'm not suggesting it doesn't happen just that it no longer predominates.
Today's market place is about 'feral' capitalism (ignore morality) simply hire the cheapest employees that can be gotten away with, thus reducing the overheads increasing the profit. The key factor is not gender it is greed. Human Greed (both male and female investors) keeps the unequal pay structures.
ORGANISATIONAL PRIME aim- Their own continuance! in the case of societal groups this means, dogma and maintaining/increasing organisational/personal power structures and personal prestige. in order to do this there must be a common goal which ignores variations or exclusions.
Case : Our household functionally dominant with me joined a predominantly (8-1) women of the local P&C only to find that despite our superior qualifications/skills /background. The ruling clique dominated ignored our input and their kitchen cabinet ran the fete to a loss. This illustrated human nature and the organisational prime aim.
[I'm well aware of ideological arguments ( of feminism)]. I am comfortable in saying that I have probably better read on the underpinning philosophy and stats, than most rank and file feminists. The story is long boring and irrelevant here.
[I simply favour whole of society approaches to human rights.]
IMO the problem with feminism is that is based on a generality and therefore uses a generality as it's target villain. It in effect want to 'take' something from some other group. Look at it like this the aboriginals don't want to take from white men only be included .
In the context of the article I found the ad offensive in that it strove to portray the guilty party as men rather than human nature (therefore a human rights issue), it is the latter that needs change. Hence a whole of society inclusive approach.
I hope this spells it out a bit. Clearly there is a lot more to say but it's wandering off the topic at hand.

To all the Feminists out there, who wish to "have their cake and eat it too", please note, that if they truly wish to be equal to men, they should start building their own "empires", like men have been doing since time immemorial. Then, they can choose to give their gender more jobs above that "glass ceiling", they keep harping about. Can they truly quote a 50 percent of f.e. Nobel Prize winners in engineering, physics, medicine, literature and all those great inventions, that has brought us all the standard of living that we now enjoy?
My wife and I who have just celebrated our 55th anniversary, have to shake our heads in disbelief, when f.e. a young lady, who works in a hair-dressing salon, complained on t.v., that it was unfair, that car-mechanics earned more, than she did! It would have been very simple for her just to apply for a job in a garage, but we were sure, that she would not like to have her manicured nails covered in grease, or get the stuff on her pretty hair and face. I have always been the sole bread-winner in our house, while my wife looked after our 2 sons and we never demanded tax-payers' contributions to pay for child-care and we fully agree, that couples without children or single workers, should not have to pay for those, whose choice it was to have children and a career at the same time. No government should have the right to order tax-payers to order the community to fund or assist the feminist movement. If a woman has the talent and the inventiveness of f.e. a Bill Gates, Henry Ford, Steve Jobs, Richard Branson and thousands of other male ground-breakers, then they will be able to break through that "glass ceiling", but those hard working people, who started from scratch to build those huge business-empires, had to do it without demanding places on the boards of directors.
So, why should feminists have the right to do so and why do they need the assistance of a government, that already has put so many impositions on the hard working public?. Please grow up Ladies and stop whingeying! Also, please do not quote "great examples" of women who broke through that "ceiling" like our female Governor General (the job is just for figure-heads and costly to the community) and Ms. Gillard and Anna Bligh have not done too well in their jobs of Prime Minister and Premier so far! Prove that you can build your own company apart from female fashion-houses or magazines, that cater for your tastes, but real job-creating ones and then everybody will applaud you for that.

how about we use this article for the reason it is - to tell us that women get less money than men - this has been found through research undertaken by the australian bureau of stats.
yes women do have babies and miss out on many ocassions for those promotions that men get while they are on maternity leave.
i personally don't agreed with the governrment's paid maternity leave or baby bonus payments - you want kids you pay for them and look after them yourselves. my grandmover who passed away in january at 108 years old worked on a farm in roma and had to care for her two kids (my father and my aunt). no help for them in the 1930's - in fact is was the depression. no help either for my parents when they had their kids in the 1960's. in fact my mother had to resign when she got married in the 50's and then tried to find work but it was impossible for her to work around the kids school hours, or even anything full time because she was the child carer and part time work didn't exist much then.
my experience has been with the public service and it started off with different superannuation contributions and then finally the same super contributions and same wages and the other advantages that have finally come into the public service - paid maternity/paternity leave, part time work, telecommuting, holiday loading.
that is another thing that i think we should take away from all employees paid maternity leave. it is something that is now not needed as it was when it was introduced by the whitlam governments.
gail kelly and i am guessing here as no one has said who her employer is but i think she is the ceo for st george. she won't be earning the same amounts as the top 4 ceo's. she has done well to get to the ceo of a bank and compete with the other ceo's to keep the bank in close competition with the top 4.
good on the theme of iwd and a century of it. women have come along way in that one hundred years but they are still not equal standings with men. glass ceiling is a huge issue for women to get into the higher levels of management - ceo's, managing directors, etc. i don't really know of the men's glass ceiling existing in the workplace. the one thing that i have noticed as a hrm practioner is that men get promoted into higher positions faster than women, earn much more than women and australian companies seem to prefer to higher overseas ceo's to do major changes to organisations and then when there is trouble, the ceo is then paid out as quickly as possible for the work they have done and someone in australia has to sort out the mess - telstra, amp.
one day women might be earning the equal monies as men but with abs returns there are many women earning less, not working full time, caring for kids, telecommuting.
hope you all had a great iwd.

This equal pay argument, that women don't get paid as much as men, is a complete fallacy...
For example, I would not pay a male prostitute a cent. However a nice woman with pert bits and an accommodating attitude towards the use of small animals would be worth her weight in gold (although hopefully not too much weight, less is more as they say)

The door was ajar. When I knocked, only a dog answered. A sign on the wall read, "Loud sex is fun."
I had come to this two-story home because its occupants had listed their bathroom as open to the public, for a fee ranging from $1 to $5. "Small, calm, space, with good company and a cat," the listing reads.
The home's bathroom and two others in Portland are listed on a new Web app called Airpnp.
Instead of renting lodging, users locate the nearest private bathroom whose owners are willing to welcome strangers—in exchange for payment.
Airpnp's website says, "When there aren't enough bathrooms nearby for the amount of people in any given location, Airpnp is there to save the day."
I had more luck at another listing on Southeast Belmont Street, at a business called Nemo Design.
The Nemo Design team was welcoming, and the firm's restroom had a nice wallpaper décor. According to the listing on Airpnp, visitors could use the restroom, stocked with toilet paper, individual stalls and two sinks, all for $16.95.
Jessica Raddatz, the company's art director, says she recently found Airpnp on a music site and thought it would be funny to list Nemo's restroom.
"We are happy to be early adopters," Raddatz says. "I don't know how many people in Portland know about it, but hopefully more places will sign up."
Portland Center Stage, in the Pearl District, is the third Portland location on Airpnp, although a theater spokesman says he's not sure how that happened.
"This is a public space," Center Stage's James Dixon says. "People are welcome to come here and use the bathrooms."
Carol McCreary, who co-founded PHLUSH, a public toilet advocacy group in Portland, says Airpnp shows the need for public restrooms but raises issues of fairness.
"This website shows that people are willing to pay, but what about the people who can't pay and will be refused access to those private toilets?" McCreary says.
Portland's Downtown Clean and Safe cleans downtown public restrooms and responds to cleanup calls. A spokesperson for Portland Business Alliance says in the last six months, Clean and Safe workers have responded to 9,500 calls related to human waste—including vomit, blood, feces and urine.
"We have a huge problem with public defecation," McCreary says. "People don't like to talk about it."
Airpnp founders Max Gaudin and Travis Laurendine, both raised in New Orleans, created the website after getting caught short during a Mardi Gras parade. (Neither Gaudin nor Laurendine responded to requests for an interview.)
The Airpnp site lists 410 available restrooms around the world—92 in the United States, including 30 locations in the apps' birthplace, New Orleans. Belgium has 123.
I returned to the house at 26th and Stark three times—no answer. On one trip, my full bladder and I went to the basement apartment, and a man answered. He said he didn't know where the upstairs occupants were. He hadn't heard of Airpnp. But he offered to let me use his bathroom.
I declined.

Manila is a city steeped in history, filled with contrasts08/19/15Travel
MANILA, Philippines
We trudged through the dark, me half lit and engorged from neo-Filipino fare, my daughter tugging my hand and looking for familiar landmarks. We walked down dark alleys and through underground tunnels and over elevated walkways until she finally saw something familiar.
"I think we're back where we started," she said.
We'd been walking forever around Makati, the hip business district in Manila, trying to find our hotel. But somehow we had circled back to Your Local, a Brooklyn-style bare-bulb eatery with a secret entrance where we had earlier enjoyed dinner among the hipsters of Manila. Now we were both sweating and her frustration was growing....
DNA testing identifies another body at infamous Florida School for Boys08/04/15Crime
TAMPA — Robert Stephens was murdered in 1937 and buried in an unmarked grave on the campus of Florida's oldest state-run reform school, the Florida School for Boys, in the Panhandle town of Marianna. On Tuesday, University of South Florida researchers announced that they have identified his remains using DNA and returned them to the boy's family.
"Sometimes persistence pays off," said Erin Kimmerle, a forensic anthropologist at USF who is leading a project to identify the human remains excavated from the brutal reformatory campus. Stephens is the sixth boy to be identified. The state believed the cemetery contained 31 burials until USF researchers found 51, most of them buried in the woods surrounding a marked burial ground....
Twists, turns and colorful characters brought Lightning hockey to Tampa Bay06/12/15 Human Interest
Good quest stories start at the beginning, so let us untangle all the various narratives about the improbable birth of the Tampa Bay Lightning and begin with the bold desire of one man, a man whose life was defined by hockey, a man who got emotional when he talked about hockey, a man who would let go of his wife before he let go of hockey.
Phil Esposito wanted a hockey team.
That's the beginning, a man with a wish. On May 1, 1990, eight months after the NHL announced its intentions to expand from 21 teams to 28 by the year 2000, Esposito told the hockey world he was interested in bringing a team to a place most unlikely: Tampa Bay. And he had a name: the Lightning....

Sonya Bryson was obsessed with dolls, soft fuzzy ones. She sat them in front of her at one end of her crib, and she sang. Her first audience. The songs were unintelligible, but the fans didn't seem to mind....
Gyrocopter pilot Doug Hughes still living his 15 minutes of fame05/18/15National
RUSKIN — Doug Hughes doesn't get out much anymore, not since April 15, a month ago, when he flew his gyrocopter from Gettysburg, Pa., through protected airspace above Washington, D.C., and plopped down on the lawn of the U.S. Capitol.
The temporary punishment for his daring "Freedom Flight," to bring attention to campaign finance reform, has him stuck behind closed doors at his little house on Pleasant View Avenue, shades drawn, often tethered to the charging unit that keeps his GPS ankle monitor alive. He can't run down the street to the Dollar General for a Pepsi. He can't even mow his own lawn....

Flying in from the north over the buildings of Washington, D.C., Doug Hughes could make out a white tower in the distance, the most notable spire on the skyline. When he got close enough to see the Potomac River, he knew what he was looking at: The Washington Monument.
He was freezing, his face and hands going numb. He wore a heavy U.S. Postal Service jacket, but he hadn't expected it to be so cold at 300 feet. He'd been buzzing through the gray sky at 45 mph for more than an hour, having left an airport in Gettysburg, Pa., at noon on Wednesday....
Ruskin mailman who flew gyrocopter into Capitol released from jail, headed back to Florida soon04/16/15Criminal
WASHINGTON — He made the front pages of the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post and USA Today for flying through protected airspace and plopping his gyrocopter on the lawn of the U.S. Capitol. He captured air time on an alphabet of news channels for an act of civil disobedience to spotlight campaign finance reform.
And when Doug Hughes, a mail carrier from Ruskin, emerged in court after 24 hours in custody, he put speakerphones in his failing ears and faced the judge, hoping for the best....

Rear Adm. John Kirby has been called "the most visible face of the Pentagon in years," and his openness and availability as spokesman for the Department of Defense since December 2013 earned him an ovation from the rigid Pentagon press corps when he announced he was stepping down in early March. On the eve of a keynote speech at the New Ideas Conference at St. Petersburg College on Friday, the Times talked to Kirby, 51, a St. Petersburg native, about military messaging, his popular Twitter handle, his mother's critiques of his television performances and his views on the Islamic State group, also known as ISIS or ISIL. The conversation was edited for length....

FDLE urged to launch new investigation into Dozier remains02/19/15Crime
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement wrapped up its investigation into a burial ground at the Dozier School for Boys in 2009, saying records showed 31 people were buried on the campus of the state's oldest reformatory.
But the discovery of 20 unaccounted-for dead boys prompted Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam to call on the FDLE to take another look.
In a letter Wednesday to new FDLE chief Rick Swearingen, Putnam says the discovery by University of South Florida anthropologists of 20 more remains than the FDLE found in 2009 should be investigated....
Putnam asks FDLE to consider reopening Dozier investigation02/18/15 Public Safety
The discovery of 20 unaccounted for dead boys at Florida's oldest reform school has Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam calling on the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to investigate the new findings. In a letter to new FDLE chief Rick Swearingen, Putnam says the discovery by University of South Florida researchers of 20 more remains than FDLE found in 2009 needs new evaluation. " … I am requesting that FDLE evaluate the new findings reported by USF to determine whether or not there is new evidence that would otherwise warrant additional investigation," he wrote. FDLE found records of 31 burials at the Dozier School for Boys in Marianna in 2009, but USF later unearthed 51 remains....

Perfume Courses
We have been making perfume for over 40 years and are passionate about passing on our knowledge through our popular perfumery courses.
Chief perfumer, Chartered Chemist and owner of Cotswold Perfumery, John Stephen has acquired an enviable reputation for creating high-end, bespoke fragrances. This reputation has led to an impressive customer portfolio, including a number of high profile individuals including Her Majesty the Queen! John's success led to his desire to share his gift and knowledge with others through regular perfume courses.
All courses are delivered by John at the Cotswold Perfumery in the beautiful village of Bourton-on-the-Water, The Cotswolds. We are privileged to be one of only six independent perfumers in the UK.
Our courses offer a unique insight into the life and work of an independent perfumer and the delicate balance of Art and Chemistry in the perfume making process.
What to expect from our perfume courses
Our perfume courses bring together a whole range of people; from aspiring perfumers who have commercial aspirations, to hobbyists interested in finding out more about the art of perfumery and wanting to create unique gifts for friends and family. Our courses incorporate both the theoretical and practical aspects of perfume creation.
Level 1 Course - £195
Suitable for absolute beginners
Introduces the basic concepts and perfume classifications and ends with the creation of a perfume.
Your journey into the fascinating world of perfume creation begins with the theory of perfume making. During the morning session our Chief perfumer John Stephen will talk you through the basic concepts for perfume creation including fragrance composition, characteristics of each raw material and the stages of the perfume-making process. There will also be a guided tour of the fragrant perfume garden.
In the afternoon, with the help of your newly acquired perfumery knowledge and John's support, you will have the opportunity to create your own bespoke perfume.
Perfect for...
Our Level 1 course is the perfect gift for someone who has an interest in perfumery, or for those considering perfumery as a career. It also provides an excellent insight into the perfume industry and a real world experience of a fully operational perfume laboratory.
By the end of the Level One course you will…
- Understand how perfumes can be grouped into classifications so that you have a framework within which to understand fragrances and be able to choose your perfume more knowledgeably.
- Know how to structure a perfume and build it from raw materials
- Understand blending techniques and typical pitfalls
- Appreciate the importance of balance and harmony in a perfume and how to achieve these qualities
- Know how to use the equipment accurately and safely
Courses can also be run for schools and colleges, with the level of chemistry adapted to specific requirements:
Level Two Course - £695
Advanced techniques
A two-day (weekend) course for Level 1 "graduates" to create their own fragrance and produce the required documentation.
Level 2 courses are open to Level 1 "Graduates" who want to expand upon their knowledge and create custom perfumes as a hobby or commercially. The course takes participants through the creation of more complex fragrances, whilst the theory focuses on teaching the professional requirements for perfume creation; including the legislation side.
A much wider range of materials is used - 60 as opposed to 25 in the Level 1 course. The group size is purposely smaller to allow more one-to-one support and guidance.
Individual laptops are provided too so that participants can complete their own documentation for their own perfume.
By the end of the Level Two course you will…
- Have a much broader understanding of the demands on a creative perfumer.
- Know how to produce the necessary documentation to conform to the regulations.
- Appreciate the effect of the addition of even very small quantities of some raw materials
- Understand the issues surrounding transport of dangerous goods.
- Have a set of template documents which will make future perfume documentation easier .
- Be equipped to start creating commercially viable fragrances - and be able to check they are safe.
Things you need to know…
- For overseas participants, please note that we only currently offer courses in English.
- The legislation covered in the course is European Law, and whilst it is true to say that there is considerable convergence worldwide – there are still variations outside Europe that are not covered on the course.
- Your trainer will be John Stephen BSc MRSC CChem who has over 45 years' experience in the industry as an independent creative perfumer.
- Minimum entry requirements – completion of the Cotswold Perfumery Level 1 course. A knowledge of spreadsheets would also be very useful. Spreadsheet training is recommended for those who are new to spreadsheets or have only a basic knowledge. Training takes place on the Friday before a Level Two Course and costs £135 - please see details below.
Discounts for Accommodation...
- Level Two is a two day course held over the weekend (Saturday and Sunday). We understand that many participants may require accommodation.
- The Perfumery in Bourton on the Water and the Promenade Apartment in Cheltenham can both be booked by course participants for the Friday and Saturday night (or Thursday, Friday, Saturday nights if spreadsheet training is required). All apartments are rated with Five Stars and a Gold Award.
- Availability is limited - three single bedroom apartments altogether sleeping a maximum of 2 persons per apartment - so booking early is strongly recommended.
- Discounts on accommodation are offered for course participants of £50 per person, for each night preceding a course or spreadsheet training. If your travelling partner is also doing a course, they also receive the same discount and this could cover the majority of the accommodation costs. Please note however that our website cannot calculate this discount (it has to be done manually) - so please email or telephone with your requirements.
- For those staying in the Promenade, Cheltenham, transport to and from the Perfumery on the Friday, Saturday or Sunday is offered - free of charge.
Spreadsheet Training - £135
The Level Two course uses Excel Spreadsheets in several ways and participants will find them invaluable in the future too. The course is fairly intensive and so a prior knowledge of spreadsheets would be helpful and take some of the pressure off. Spreadsheets are not used on Level One Courses.
For those who may be new to spreadsheets or just feel they need some brushing up on the subject, spreadsheet training is offered on the Friday preceding a Level Two Course. Laptops can be provided, but you if you have your own - with a reasonably recent copy of Excel - that is recommended, as you will be more familiar with its use.
The course assumes no previous knowledge and runs from 10am until 3pm and lunch is provided,

Isn't food wastage just the pits? No one likes throwing food out – especially with the cost of groceries these days. And if you're like me, aiming to go to the grocery store no more than once a week, you're often left trying to use up any extra fruit and veg before it grows fur.
Since moving up the Sunshine Coast – and with the arrival of summer – it's our bananas that are ripening quicker than I can keep up. Despite ensuring they are still green when they hit the fruit bowl.
It appears that they are anxious to take on that perfect shade of yellow. Yellow and screaming "Eat me now! Don't waste another moment!" But a person can only eat so many bananas in one day.
Then, without noticing, they casually take on a few innocent brown spots, nudging at you the thought: "Eat those bananas before they rot". And you do what you can, slicing one up into your morning cereal.
But the next thing you know, you glance over at the fruit bowl and the bananas appear as if they've just returned from a family holiday to Death Valley, sans the sunscreen. Black on the outside and melting on the inside. Wasted!
But fear not. I recently picked up a few useful tips and we can in fact reduce the fatalities of our potassium-filled friend the banana.
Save your bananas:
– Separate your bananas from the bunch at the stem, storing them loosely together, opposed to on-top of one another.
– And keep them away from other fruits in your fruit bowl. Both these methods should slow down the ripening process due to less exposure to ethylene gas – produced by many fruits to induce ripening.
– You can also pop them in the fridge. The skin will go black but the banana will still be good for the taking.
– But if this does not work – you can freeze bananas (peel them first) and use them later on for smoothies, banana bread, banana pancakes, etc. At your convenience.
Having only just acquired these few little secrets – possibly more obvious solutions for some – I've been doing a fair bit of baking with bananas. And I thought I would share one of my many recent banana-revivals, the banana-bran muffin. The are relatively healthy (as far muffins go); quite irresistible; and you can freeze them for about a month.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
SUWANEE — After getting bumped from the Class AAAAA volleyball state playoffs in the second round in each of the last two years, North Gwinnett finally broke what head coach Vanessa Henry called the "Sweet 16 Curse."Behind a strong performance from setter Alex Panks and outside hitter Kelsey Knudsen, North reached the elite eight for the first time in school history with a three games to one win over Grayson in the tournament's second round on Tuesday night. Panks continually fed Knudsen, along with Kristina Stinson and Annie Wheeler, to tally 44 assists as North (45-3) used its height advantage up front to eventually wear down the Rams. "We play club together and she knows how I'm going to set the ball," Panks said of the connection between her and Knudsen on the court. "If I get a good set, I know when it's a good one and get so happy when she hits it." Knudsen took feeds all night long from Panks, getting most hits from the right side, as she recorded 22 kills on the night while Stinson pounded 18. Those kills came fast and furious in Game 1 as North jumped out to a 9-0 lead and rolled to a 25-11 win. The momentum from that win, however, didn't carry over into the second game as the Rams (23-18) bounced back to tie the match at a game apiece with a 25-20 win. "I thought it was nerves in the first game and we just had to settle into our environment," Grayson head coach Kimberly Mohr said. "I'm so proud of this team. They played their hearts out. It hurts to lose but what can you say? They gave it everything they had." With the match tied 1-1, North took the pivotal third game 25-19, once again jumping to an early lead with a 6-0 run. That six-point cushion turned out to be huge as Grayson got as close as one point at 11-10 and again making a run late at 19-17, but the serving of Ashleigh Clark and Stinson was too strong down the stretch as the Bulldogs closed out the game with a 6-2 run. In Game 4, North again pulled ahead early with a 6-2 lead but couldn't shake the Rams as Kristi Cheesman, who finished with 11 kills, delivered five of them in the fourth game to keep the Rams close. Grayson would get as close as one point at 19-18 but North once again turned to its power to pull away, getting four key kills from Knudsen, while Stinson's 18th kill from Panks' 44th assist sealed the match at 25-20. "Alex has really started to learn her hitters," Henry said. "It's almost a sixth sense thing with her and Knudsen. They practice and play a lot in the off season and can sense where they are on the court." Michelle DeMaris also had a solid game for North with 10 digs, while Grayson's Ana Gross led all players in that department with 25. Hannah Barney of Grayson challenged North's front line with strong defense by blocking six shots, while Shenise Howard finished with 17 assists and seven kills for the Rams. "We've been here the last two years and now we're one step closer to reaching our goal," Henry said. "The biggest excitement I have is for the players. They have worked so hard and I want it for them more than anything." While North has more work cut out in the upcoming quarterfinals, its opponent won't be known right away as the remaining eight teams will be seeded one through eight by a GHSA committee. The higher seeds will host the quarterfinal round Saturday with the winner advancing to the semifinals on Oct. 27 at Kennesaw Mountain High School. The finals will be held Oct. 30 at Marietta High School.

Working on a plugin to integrate CF with the network (iBUS) on my car.
Here's a preview on what's coming :P
Au Contraire !
There are plenty of work left if you choose to.
I see different solutions...
1. Get a TMC enabled GPS reciever and live with it.
Fine, a quick and easy solution. But for people...
DOH ! :o
As with most things, it works just fine if you use them the way it was intended.
But hey, I'm a C# noob so I'm allowed to make mistakes :lol:
Thank you very much !
Small naming error: CF_TextItems.CurrenTrackNumber Wasn't that CurrentTrackNumber before ?
CF_systemGetCurrentLocation still not active, returns "".
Oh, now it fires an event when changing...
I guess it would be a lot ow work to cover all thinkable combinations and time them, but surely they (destinator) know when it start/stops and should be able to supply you with that info (two events)...
Tried to search for it but it seems as if I'm alone...
Whenever Destinator "speaks" the music is paused (find that very annoying) but never as long as the directions I'm given are.
So, media is...
Found it:
It's still in there but it doesn't return anything.
(unless I'm doing something wrong)
When I asked about it (perhaps that post is in the CF-SDK forums) last time, you said it wasn't used...
Hello David,
I'm beginning to wonder if my posts mysteriously disappears or if I'm really getting old after all ;-)
You said before that it's obsolete because...
Oh, another thing...
The next/previousTrack events doesn't fire at all when double tapping the
song in the media browser.
I could have sworn that I mentioned this before, but now I can't find it.
I use CF_Event_nextTrack and CF_Event_prevTrack to update the track title sent to an external display.
Yeah, I'm running a registered version.
The "Updating Centrafuse" windows was blank, just tried changing from "." (period) to "," (comma) as decimal symbol and then it worked just fine.
I think...
Removing CAM-plugin disables all other plugins.
If I'd remove the CAM-plugin, either trough the menues or manually through the explorer, none of the other plugins are visible or even loaded....
This might have been suggested elsewhere, but...
With the updater, could you please include the size of the update.
If I'm on GPRS rather than WLAN/LAN it would be nice to know if it's
a 1MB or...
Yes, TMC is merged inside the RDS-data stream,
IF the radio station transmits it.
Over here the only ones who does are the ones you normally
don't listen to. Therefor you still need two RDS...
I thought I'd never get to say :search: to cdr ;)
1. Yes, CF have a very good SDK so you can write your plugins and do pretty much any thing you'd like.
I miss a few options, but I...
Just remove the old license file in the CF directory,
CF will then launch and give you the "register menu"
add your new key there...
Nope, it's my company laptop, so it's got a normal XP Pro SP2 install.
(Some policy restrictions maybe, but not nLited)
Destinator wont launch inside CF, the little testapp works though. (see error log)
PhoCo crashes when you try to launch it (separately or embedded in CF). (no error log)
I kinda feel sorry for David, this statement have never been more true:
"Damned if you do, damned if you don't"
My original plan, using flat wing servos and a USB servo controller.
Is it just WU that hangs or doesn't even this link work ?
How cute, "mbkowns" have his very own little groupie ;)
I'd assume that it'll be out a couple of hours after it's finished.
Yes, about 30 of us have tried it.
No, it does not work with CF yet, not sure if David mentioned if it'll make it into 1.7 or not.
