Honda Odyssey Electrical Problems
Hi fibber2,
Could you point me to some web page that explain those hundred mA? That's the issue I am experiencing. I lost 2 batteries within 9k miles. I insert my multimeter and it max out the 100mA reading. I think this is way too high when the car is off.
The battery has a capacity of 50ah. If it's draining at 100mA, it will drain half of the battery (which make it very hard, if not impossible to start the engine) within 250 hours. I don't think Honda engineers are so stupid to have those kind of parameters in their minds.0
Hi hovan,
Did you figure out what caused that 0.4A draw? I have the same issue with my 07. Thanks.0
hovan Posts: 2Actually I think I solved the problem. I kept pulling fuses till the battery draw went to almost zero. There is a fuse panel on the drivers side near the emergency brake pedal. I pulled out the 7 AMP fuse marked "BACK-UP". With this out, the .4 amp draw went away. I drove with it out for a day, but certain things did not work- Power side doors, alarm, lock(ignition off), rear wiper, rear dome light, and others. I could live with that if it saved my Battery. However, I now re-installed the 7 AMP fuse- and everything again works, with no .4 Amp battery draw. ??? maybe something reset in a control module. If I ever have the problem again I will pull the fuse. Better option than having to use a battery charger every night.0
aecho Posts: 1My Odyssey would stop running while driving-highway, local roads, any speed, any weather, any common road/weather/distance. It did this several times. I tool it to two dealers several times- they ran diagnostics but found nothing because the "Check Engine" light did not come on which means that no ERROR CODE was stored in the computer.
Final solution- After dealer had it and drove it everyday, the problem was discovered- no communication to power control module (PCM). They performed a " No communication test" and found a Faulty Main Relay!! All I can say is that the FP# on the invoice is 39400-S84-003. $64.78 for the part and, no surprise these days- labor was $230.00. Before you have it replaced by a dealer, see if the part can be ordered and install it yourself or have your local mechanic do it for you.0
rserviss Posts: 2I had the same problem with my 2011 EX-L. It's not the symbol I expected for low tire pressure (The semi-circle with a candle in the middle) but the dealer put some air in the tires and TPMS light went off.0
I have a 2004 and am having problems with the locks. Were you able to find a fix? Thanks.0
I have an 04 as well and recently started having problems locking the doors and engaging the alarm.
We you able to fix yours?
sigsayer Posts: 1You are a life saver. . I have the same problem and I'm not throwing any codes either...going to check into that part and replace it soon....Big Thanks again.....0
trinks Posts: 1I have a 2004 Honda Odessey who's battery died every two days. After replacing the alternator and battery, I finally found a bad mg clutch relay (this is the AC relay) in the engine fuse box. This caused a 3 amp draw causing the battery to discharge rapidly.
I hope this helps!0
While driving my 1999 Honda Odyssey (with ~85K miles) the van temporarily lost power. AC, radio went out for a few seconds and then the dashboard lights came on (like when the van is started). Van ran OK after that. I took my van to a local autoshop and they said it was a loose battery cable. All was OK until the other day when it happened again. I checked the cable connections and they seem to be good to go. I even jiggled the cables while the engine was on. BTW, + cable was replace 6-8 months ago. I did not see "check engine" light during the power interruption.
I plan to take the van to Honda Dealer but I have limited confidence they will find a solution. Any suggestions on what I should suggest to the mechanic? Communications test to power control unit, etc?
I've had the same problem and haven't been able to diagnose it despite taking it to the dealer 3 times. Basically the Navigation/radio seem to go out while driving. And as usual it never occurs when at the dealership, but happened about 6 times while driving to them. I thought it was a loose cable to the battery and removed it/ retightened it without much help. I also looked at all of the fuses, but they all looked ok. Suspect it has to something to do w/ the Navigation system since that is what keeps resetting, but will just have to wait to find out.0
bigdaddymoho Posts: 1Okay, this is our third Odyssey. It will be our last. Bought it brand new in late March. By end of April, battery died with about 500 miles on it. I figured it was just a crappy underpowered battery so I replaced with $200+ Sears Diehard Platinum. Thought that would resolve the problem, but instead we have experienced ALL of the following on MULTIPLE occasions: (i) Low Battery Warning; (ii) Low Tire Pressure Warning; (iii) keypad transmitter won't unlock door, and car won't start (as if battery dead again) - call AAA, and while waiting for them, 20 min later car starts as if nothing happened and locks work again (this has happened 3 separate occasions with no rhyme or reason); (iv) voice command button occasionally results in 15 minute delay before command can be given; (v) phone calls draopped on bluetooth after about 5 seconds. Three trips to Honda Service already, and, of course, none of this happend while there (except for low pressure light) and they say everything is normal. In New York, 4th strike means lemon law. This is the 8th new Honda I have owned and I am absolutely appalled. I would warn anybody who is thinking of buying an Odyssey to WAIT until Honda figures out what the heck it has done to this model! Our 2007 was fine, except for the pain in the butt run-flats that got about 15K miles. This car is absolute garbage. It has turned a big Honda fan into a real doubter.0
Update to my 99 Honda Odyssey Electrical Problem. After researching the probem online, I had the dealer replace the ignition switch and the van runs fine now. Of course the dealer couldn't find anything wrong when they drove it. Anyway, this is my second ignition switch since the part was recalled and replaced back in early 00's.0
I have a 2003 Honda Odyssey. Since buying the van new, I have had minor electrical glitches and Honda has never been able to find a problem. Since, those minor issues didn't stop the van from working, I didn't press it since I didn't have the time to leave my van at the dealership indefinitely. I just had to have the transmission replaced 2 months ago at 130,000 miles. A few days ago I was driving and the dash power flashed on and off 10-12 times. I never lost power completely, just sudden burst of losing the radio, and the tachometer and speedometer dropping to 0. I reached my destination with no problem. Driving home, nothing happened, but when I had to make one more stop, I turned off the car and immediately had NO power to anything. On an off-chance, I turned the ignition on and turned on the headlights, and suddenly it had life. I could hear all of the clicking in the dash as everything decided to come on. I drove home (2miles) with no problem. A couple of hours later, my husband drove the car for 10 minutes, then came home and the same thing happened. Of course, Monday morning at the Honda dealership revealed nothing. Even after leaving it there over 24 hours to be repeatedly tested, they can't find anything. They say until they can replicate it, they can't figure it out. I say even if it went dead in their parking lot, then suddenly started working, they would still be at the same point they are now. They say they've tested the ignition, the alternator, the main relay, etc., but everything shows up as being ok. It obviously isn't. This isn't even safe to drive. Any suggestions other than getting something that isn't Honda?0
gk789 Posts: 1I am also having similar problem with 2004 Honda Odyssey. It is becoming more frequent - twice it stopped on highway (the power came back quickly) and over the Thanksgiving Holidays it stopped completely on the local roads.
I will get the Faulty Main Relay checked. Do you know how the dealer conducted a "No communication test"?0
Honda says it "could be" the ignition switch, but they won't replace it unless it tests bad. They continue to say NOTHING is wrong with the van.0
I have the exact same problem. Just had it tested yesterday, and they could find nothing wrong. My Honda dealership didn't even drive the van, which is frustrating, that's the only time I see the issue is when driving. If I find anything out, I'll post here.0
The saga continues. Today, while driving I had the short bursts of losing power to the radio (tachometer and speedometer drop to zero) that I had a couple of weeks ago. This time, however, all of the dash lights came on like I was starting the car, but this time the TCS, ABS, SRS, and check engine light stayed on. Once I stopped the car and turned it off, there was a lot of "clicking' behind the dash. I turned the car back on and all of the dashboard lights were off. Later, I stopped to get out and tried opening the driver-side sliding door. No response. Door locks wouldn't unlock. Then I heard the clicking again, and as if by magic, the doors unlocked and opened. Having no faith in Honda, I took it to a local mechanic to see if he would be willing to figure it out. I will add that I am the original owner, and have had to replace 5-6 batteries in the 9 years I have owned the car. Hopefully, I will find out something soon.0
Like everybody else who has posted here I still keep having electrical problems w/ our '06 Ody (original owner). I had posted earlier that it seemed the problems may have been w/ the Nav system, but I am not sure now. We've taken the car to the dealership (where its been serviced since we purchased it) now for 5 times without much luck. The dealership kept the van yet again for another 2 days and still couldn't replicate the problem. My original problem started when like everybody else the VSA/nav lights came on while driving and then the NAV and radio reset. It feels like the van is about to stall, while driving, but doesn't. The lights all flicker for just a second or two then everything resets. We also had a few instances where there is absolutely no power to the car. For instance, we pulled in to so into a parking lot, and after turning off the van I could not close the doors. I ended up manually closing the rear door, only to have the van come back to life a few minutes later as if nothing had happened. The latest issue is when the "emissions" system reset. I took the van to get it inspected for our annual inspection and the tech got a message of "emissions module not working" which led to yet another trip to the dealer. The eventually got the car to pass inspection after driving it about 30 miles to "reset" the module. Yet they still haven't been able to figure out why this is happening. I've also researched this online, and our dealer "called the engineers at Honda" to no avail. Not really sure if its a loose connection or a grounding problem somewhere or as some people have mentioned the "ingintion switch". Suspect we'll never know. I wonder if NTSHA has had any reports of this especially if the car/van had died on the road (a huge potential liability and safety issue). Still searching for an answer.0
Go to safecar.com (nhtsa site) and you can read all of the registered complaints. There were over 500 regarding safety issues with the 03 Odyssey. You can also file your van's issues.0
I haven't had the problem since I last posted. The only thing I did was really maintenance on the battery. I think our battery wasn't getting it's full charge as it should have been. The water cells in the battery were half empty, so after filling them back up to correct levels, and driving a couple of days to the battery could catch up on charging, I haven't noticed the problem even once.
Methinks there are a lot of different scenarios that can cause this. Good luck to everyone looking for a fix.0
Update on my 2006 Ody electrical problems
1) 4 trips to Honda dealership only to find nothing wrong w/ the car. $$$$
2) 1 new battery (replacement) at Sams' club (free)
3) $3.99 new grounding connector for the negative wire on battery
4) $15 to install new battery connector
5) Being able to figure out the problem yourself without any Honda help- PRICELESS!!!
FYI: the battery I'd gotten from Sams (Energizer) had a lot of problems (the associate at Sams told me that a lot of people were bringing them back due to premature failure)- so now I've gotten a new battery (Duracel). Also if you haven't already checked the connections on the battery terminals (the wire actually holding on the ends) I'd check to see if they come off easily or not. In my case they did at Sam's- hence the new connectors. We'll see if this fixes the problem.0
jwilli5 Posts: 1Today my 2006 Odyssey's Bright lights, turn signals, temperture gauge, both power sliding doors, and my back windshild wiper and fluids all stopped working at the same time. Also my radio, when turned on, reads CODE. When pressing the radio buttons it comes up with a bunch of XXXX on the panel. Like its looking for some kind of a code. Any ideas why. All fuses checked, no go. Stopped and restarted van, again no go.. Any anwsers would be great. Thanks!0
jpf Posts: 496Sometimes a weak battery causes the electronics to go haywire. I would have a charging system check done which includes checking the battery, alternator, etc. Good luck.0
rwhg Posts: 1My '05 Ody started the same thing this afternoon. Planning to take to dealership in the morning, have you found anything on this yet?0
I would have your battery and alternator checked first. I had a similar situation (see my post earlier in this section), and I found out that it was the battery cable. Based on your symptoms I would be leaning towards either the batter or the battery cable. Whenever the cable is loose and not on tight it doesn't make an adequate connect hence the sporadic episodes of lose of power. If the battery and alternator check out (you can get them tested at a local auto parts store (autozone/napa, etc) for free), then you might need a more definitive eval at the dealership. Hope this helps .0
I'm familiar with the codes,every time you disconnect the battery,you have to enter a code for the radio and the nav(if equip).The reason for this is for anti theft protection,thieves will think twice before they steal built- in radios cause it won't work unless you enter the codes.The codes are usually located at the 1st page of the service manual,if you can't find it,go to the dealer,give the vehicle number,they can pull it out in the computer.0
Whenever I turn on my van early in the morning,I noticed the instrument panel is flickering,daytime running lights is not on,minutes later,it starts to flicker too.Slow wiper won't work and windshield washer won't spray.When I lock the van using the remote,a horn will sound to confirm that it's lock,but it won't.Checked all fuses,seems like everything's okay.Took it to dealer,left the van for the whole day,told me nothing is wrong with the van,so frustrating!!The colder the weather,the worst flickering you see!!Any suggestion will be really appreciated!!Thanks!!0
bbjlaw Posts: 2I am considering buying a 2006 Odyssey Touring, but now a bit skeptical going by all the negative comments I read about it. The one I'm negotiating on has 146000 mileage, with a price tag of $9000.00; is it OK for that price? What alternative do I have? I need a reliable and cost effective minivan. Thanks.0
thuku Posts: 2I would consider an alternative if I am to take a loan to buy the Van.
1. Honda Vans are highly priced than other minivans in the same class. Why?? They hold their value very well. That means for the same amount of money you would get a newer and low mirage option.
2. I would rather buy an older vehicle that would not tie me in a loan for the nest 3-5 yrs. in other words by the time you get a return on the money you invested, the van will have lost value prestige etc.
3. I could go back to 2005 model and get one with even better mirage for $2000 or so cheaper.
I have a 2000, w/ 176000 Miles I bought for $3500 2yrs ago. The Van is good, and every tax time I give it around $500 for whatever it need. No issues.0

|After getting knocked around a bit the first two weeks of the playoffs, the UW-Whitewater defense has allowed just 17 points in the past two games.
For the fourth consecutive week, UW-Whitewater didn't have Matt
Blanchard at quarterback. But once again, it didn't matter. Both
the Warhawk offense and defense were clicking on Saturday as the
defense intercepted five passes, including three picks in four
Justin Sottilare pass attempts, to pull away to a 27-7 win.
With Lee Brekke at quarterback, the Warhawks (14-0) drove to the 1-yard line before having to settle for a 19-yard Eric Kindler field goal, which got tipped at the line but still had enough to make it through the uprights, to put UW-W on the board with 8:01 left in the first.
Taking advantage of field position, Wesley began a drive later in the quarter on its own 45. On the third play of the mini-drive, Wesley quarterback Justin Sottilare found Matt Barile with a 38-yard scoring toss. Barile's first touchdown of the season, and just his fifth catch of the season, put Wesley in front 7-3 with 1:08 on the clock.
"They were playing man coverage and we had a good play call," Barile said. "Justin made a good throw and I just ran under it and caught it. It gave us the lead and I thought a good shot to win."
UW-W answered on the next drive, traveling 72 yards on six plays, with Brekke connecting with Adam-Brandes for a 35 yard score, making it 10-7 Whitewater with 13:24 left in the half.
The Warhawk defense forced a three-and-out, and its offense began marching again. Wesley ended the drive with a Jeff Morgan interception at the Wesley 22. The UW-W defense responded in kind, with defensive back Jared Kiesow picking off a Wesley pass at the 16, and he returned it to the Whitewater 34. UW-W moved the ball 24 yards on three plays, but Morgan picked off his second Warhawk pass of the day at Wesley's 32.
The teams went in to the locker room with a halftime score of 10-7 Whitewater.
Neither team scored in the third period until a Matt McCulloch interception set up a run by Levell Coppage with 3:25 left in the quarter. The Wolverines turned the ball over again and Coppage plunged in from the one for a 24-7 lead through three quarters of action.
"There were turnovers on our part and there were turnovers on their part and that's what happens in games like this," UW-Whitewater coach Lance Leipold said after the game. "It was a very good defense (for Wesley). ... At this stage we're just happy to get out with a win."
UW-W turned to its offensive line and the Coppage offense, much like the second half in the win over North Central last week, handing the ball off to the junior running back eight consecutive plays, ending with a one yard touchdown run to put the Warhawks in front 17-7 with 3:25 left in the third.
Deja vu for Wesley, because Sottilare was picked off on its first play after the kickoff, this time by linebacker Greg Arnold who made it from the Whitewater 36 to the one yard line. Sottilare had thrown four passes in this span, with three of them picked off by the Warhawks. Coppage walked in on the next play to make it 24-7 with 3:01 left in the third, giving UW-W 14 points in 24 seconds.
The next time they had the ball the Wolverines drove to the Whitewater 26, but lost yardage to the 33 and failed on a fourth and nine attempt.
Whitewater's final score ended a seven play, 56 yard drive, highlighted by a 32 yard run by Coppage. Kindler booted his second field goal of the day, this time from 28 yards with 10:01 left in the game and UW-W leading 27-7.
Wesley continued to come back, advancing to the Whitewater 8, but a Wesley Hicks sack pushed the Wolverines back to the 19, where Sottilare threw his fifth interception of the day with Kiesow picking off his second in the end zone.
The five interceptions are the most by UW-W since the Warhawks picked off eight UW-Superior passes in 1982.
The Warhawk defense limited Wesley to minus-7 yards rushing, the fourth time this season that UW-W has held an opponent to negative yards rushing. Whitewater, behind 146 yards by Coppage, rushed for 172 yards. Wesley made up some of the difference passing, throwing the ball 44 times for 256 yards.
"The run wasn't a big part of our game plan," said Wesley coach Mike Drass. "I mean, you look at who has run the ball on them this year and the answer is no one. We thought we could move the ball through the air. We'd have liked to have run the ball better, but we also didn't plan to run the ball 40 times either."
Brekke went 13-for-19 passing for 144 yards, one TD and two interceptions. Senior wide receiver Aaron Rusch led both teams with six catches for 64 yards. Sottilare was 24-for-43 for 256 yards, one TD and the five picks. Sophomore tailback Brandon Wright was on the receiving end of five of those passes for 62 yards.
Linebacker Lane Olson topped the Warhawks with four solo tackles, five assists and one tackle for a loss. Wolverine senior safety Aaron Benson had a game ten tackles, eight of them solo. Morgan was one of four players with seven tackles on the afternoon, intercepted two passes and broke up another.
With 12 wins this season, the Wolverines are 25-2 the past two years, the third best mark in Division III, but couldn't get over the hump in the national semifinals for the fourth time in six seasons.
"UW-Whitewater, there weren't any chinks (in their armor)," said Drass. "You don't get out there and say 'ah hah, here's where we're going to attack them.' You gotta outplay them.
"I think there are some teams out there that are real close but you gotta perform."
UW-Whitewater will meet Mount Union in Salem, Va., for the national championship, next Saturday, Dec. 18. "This is the sixth year in a row. It's not as easy as it might appear to people on the outside," said Leipold. "It's an honor every year to get there and have a chance to compete for a national championship. We definitely don't take it for granted."

MIAMI SHORES, Fla. -- Barry University's No. 2-ranked men's golf team opens the spring season Monday and Tuesday at the Matlock Invitational in Lakeland, Fla.
The Buccaneers, which brought in three new players at the semester break, won one tournament in the fall and finished second in two others. The Bucs won the Brickyard Invitational in Indianapolis to begin the fall season as Berry Jole captured the individual medalist honor, shooting a 9-under 207 to beat 2012 NCAA Division II Player of the Year Ben Taylor of Nova Southeastern. Two other Buccanners, Marcus Segerstrom and Scott Smyers, finished in the top nine at that tournament as Barry won the team title by five strokes over No. 1 Nova Southeastern.
Segerstrom won the Flagler College Jennison Memorial in Barry's second event of the fall. He shot a 1-under 215 to win by three strokes over Rollins' Tyler Sluman. The Bucs finished second, four strokes behind team champ Armstrong Atlantic in Saint Augustine, Fla.
Last year at the Matlock Invitational, the Buccaneers tied for second, a stroke behind champ Florida Tech at Lone Palm Golf Course. Smyers, a Lakeland native, finished second at the event on his home course.
This year, the Buccaneers added the 2012 PNGA Player of the Year in Adam Svensson, who will be making his college debut in Lakeland. Jaime Rodriguez, who has competed in four tournaments in his two years at Barry, has performed well during spring qualifying to earn a spot in the five-man rotation in Lakeland. Marcelo Huarte, an honorable mention All-American in 2012 who missed the final event of the fall, is back in the mix at Matlock as well.
Barry's home tournament this season, the Buccaneer Invitational, will be held April 1-2 at Normandy Shores Golf Course in Miami Beach. The Bucs, which will bring in some of the top 10 teams in the nation to the annual tournament, have won the past five Buccaneer Invitationals.

Snowden Gets Temporary Asylum in Russia
National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden has received asylum for a year in Russia and has left Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport, his lawyer said. WSJ's Siobhan Gorman and Ariel Cohen of the Heritage Foundation discuss the implications for U.S.-Russian relations. Photo: AP.

Couples seeking a civil union license in Boulder County at midnight May 1 will not only be a part of history; they can share the moment with a woman who embodies Colorado's history relating to same-sex equity.
Clela Rorex, the former Boulder County clerk and recorder who gained fame -- notoriety, some would say -- for briefly awarding same-sex marriage licenses in 1975, will be on hand the night of April 30 as couples obtain civil union licenses.
"I'm just thrilled to be able to be there for this occasion because it's so huge for everybody and it is huge for me, too," Rorex said.
"I have to admit it is huge, 30 years or more later, after I issued a first marriage license and, of course, I wish this were marriage, not just civil union. But I have hope that that day will come, sooner rather than later. But just to be there for the occasion ... I'm so excited."
Rorex, now 69, has been living recently in Atwood, Kan., but is moving back to Colorado and has secured an apartment in Longmont. She expects to be moved in by the end of this month.
"I guess I'm just a Colorado girl, and not a Kansas girl," she said.
While all counties in Colorado will start issuing civil union licenses May 1 as a result of the state Legislature passing Senate Bill 13-011 earlier this year, Boulder and Denver counties are getting a head start on the state's other 62 counties by opening at midnight on that date.
Although the law does not require a ceremony to make a civil union official, nor a third party to lead one, people may still opt to have one. The LGBT advocacy group Out Boulder has arranged for several potential officiants to be there that night at the County Clerk and Recorder's Office, 1750 33rd St.
Rorex will be among those available to officiate any couple's union, should they want that, on the spot. She said two women texted her Tuesday with the request that she preside over their commitment .
"I'm not quite sure what that's going to consist of, but I'm certainly honored that they did ask me," Rorex said.
Rorex, newly elected to office at the time, earned national news coverage in 1975 by issuing marriage licenses to about a half-dozen same-sex couples. She did so based on the advice of Bill Wise, then first assistant under District Attorney Alex Hunter, who told her there was nothing he could see in the law prohibiting her from doing so.
That came to a quick halt, however, based on an opinion issued by the Colorado Attorney General's Office that state law implied a requirement that married couples, in fact, be heterosexual. The opinion asserted that it was misleading for Rorex's office to suggest that same-sex couples could marry and enjoy the same legal rights.
Rorex's place in history was further cemented when she denied a license to a man named Roswell Howard who showed up with a horse, wanting to marry the animal. She said she rejected the request based on the horse being under-age.
"One of the questions (required to be answered by licensees) was that the people had to be 18, and so we just kind of knew that a horse's age probably wasn't going to be that," Rorex recalled.
She said she ran through the questions "calmly" with Howard, "until we got to the age question. I asked the age of Dolly, the horse, and he said 8, and I just put down my pen and said, 'I'm sorry, I can't issue a license for someone that age without parental consent.'
"It was probably the fastest time I ever had to think on my feet."
Wise, now retired, thought it was appropriate that Rorex will be part of the civil union festivities -- which will include cake, sparkling cider and a disc jockey in the Houston Room at the county offices, starting at 11:30 p.m. April 30.
"I think Clela was a very good county clerk, and she was ahead of her time by about 35 years," Wise said.
Her presence is welcomed by Aicila Lewis, executive director of Out Boulder.
"People are inspired by what she did," Lewis said. "She did it because it was the right thing to do. She didn't know any gay people, that she knew of, at the time. She was simply one of those rare, thoughtful folks who could look at the issue and evaluate it outside of the prejudice of the day, and say, 'I cannot accept it. It is wrong.'
"That is the kind of thing that's larger than any one movement. Those are the people who are actually going to change things for everyone."
Rorex moved to California in 1977 and did not complete her only term in office.

Red Bull has dismissed "lurid speculation" that world champion Sebastian Vettel had a temper tantrum and refused to drive during the opening test in Jerez.
The team has struggled throughout pre-season but has made light of "a major news broadcaster" reporting that Vettel threw a "hissy fit" and would not drive the RB10 until problems had been rectified. Posting on the official team website, the Red Bull Spy, who called the RB10 "a complicated beast", rubbished the report from the unnamed news outlet.
"Run that by me again? I suppose it could be true," Red Bull Spy said. "Maybe four World Championships really have turned him into a screaming primadonna. Perhaps what really happened is Seb leapt out of the car and started foaming at the mouth. He made a very rude gesture in the direction of Adrian, snarled at Rocky, kicked Ole in the spanners and then stormed out of the garage, saddled his unicorn and rode back to Switzerland."
Red Bull Spy also made reference to Vettel's fierce rivalry with former team-mate Mark Webber.
"Seb, meanwhile has sent us a postcard, and says he's really sorry for all the fuss. He'll be back soon but has decided to chill for a while by spending a couple of weeks watching daytime soaps and eating crisps 'round at Mark's house."

Hello everyone. I'm new to Java and I'm trying to check if the user is inputting a word, or a number. We were just introduced to while loops in class and I figured I'd try one out. My program worked up until I tried to validate what the user is inputting.
My problem is that the input doesn't stop and the user can just keep hitting return.

David Chalmers
"Now I have to say I'm a complete atheist. I have no religious views myself and no spiritual views, except very watered down humanistic spiritual views. And consciousness is just a fact of life. It's a natural fact of life."
Nuala O'Faolain
Nuala O'Faolain: I have done that for years, looked up at it (the stars) and given it a wink and thought 'I don't know what's going on' and I still don't know what's going on, but I can't be consoled by mention of god. I can't.
Marian Finucane: Would you like it?
NO'F: No. Oh no I wouldn't. If I start doing that something really bad is happening to my brain . . . And though I respect and adore the art that arises from the love of god and though nearly everybody I love and respect themselves believe in god, it is meaningless to me, really meaningless.
MF: The reason I asked you is because it is a source of comfort for many people?
NO'F: Well, I wish them every comfort, but it is not even bothering me. I don't even think about it. I have never believed in the Christian version of the individual creator . . .
Keira Knightley
Keira Knightley: If only I wasn't an atheist, I could get away with anything. You'd just ask for forgiveness and then you'd be forgiven. It sounds much better than having to live with guilt.
David Cronenberg: Yeah, but you could always lie about being an atheist. I don't think an atheist could get elected in America right now.
Keira Knightley: No, I don't think they could either.
Javed Akhtar
"I am an atheist, I have no religious beliefs. And obviously I don't believe in spirituality of some kind."
Ed Miliband
"I don't believe in god personally, but I have great respect for those people who do. Different people have different religious views in this country. The great thing is that, whether we have faith or not, we are by and large very tolerant of people whatever their view."
Sarah Silverman
"I'm so associated with being Jewish — and I do it myself — but I have no religion. . . . I wasn't raised with any religion, I have no religion. . . . "
FFRF's solstice sign is back in Wilkes-Barre
The Freedom From Religion Foundation's Winter Solstice banner is back up and will hang in the Wilkes-Barre Public Square for six more days — provided that it is not vandalized again.
"We are very pleased to hear that the city has rehung the banner and will be charging the vandal. We hope that his actions speak loudly to the type of discrimination nonbelievers tend to face in their communities," said FFRF Senior Staff Attorney Rebecca Markert.
FFRF's banner had been dangling from the public square sculpture for three weeks, ever since it was vandalized on Dec. 20 — one day after it was installed by city officials.
The vandal, who was identified as Joe McDonald, was caught by a local news station climbing 30 feet up the sculpture and cutting the cord to FFRF's banner. McDonald then placed an American flag next to the damaged banner.
Local FFRF member Justin Vacula immediately filed a police report and was told by an officer that McDonald will be charged with disorderly conduct and criminal mischief.
The 7½-by-3-foot banner states: "At this Season of the Winter Solstice, LET REASON PREVAIL. There are not gods, no devils, no angels, no heaven or hell. There is only our natural world. Religion is but myth & superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds."
FFRF thanks Justin for all his help, including filing a police report and keeping FFRF well-informed.

Scripture: Nahum (NIV) 1:7 The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him.
Observation: In the middle of a chapter about God's anger, how refreshing it is to find this verse. It is like an oasis in the dessert. The goodness of God remains even in times of His anger! He responds lovingly to those who trust Him. He is a refuge to which we can run. Even when His anger is stirred, He responds with tenderness to the needs of those trusting in Him. We do not have to wait for Him to "cool" down from that which makes Him angry in order to meet our needs as we trust in Him.
Application: As humans, we often need time to settle down after times of great anger. We cannot just switch it off. It is like a turbo spinning inside our being. But God …What a God!
Prayer: Lord, I need you to help me respond appropriately even when I am angry. Make me more like you! Amen
Pastor Leon
Making friends for time and eternity!

I'm taking you to see a sunset.
good books, cozy beds and
so much more.
I know just what you mean!
What a cute post! I'm a glass-half-full kind of gal myself, but what I really don't love . . . WINTER. (I'm freeeeeezing!)
The 20-something clerks at the clothing store (where I shop for my 20-something daughter) addressing me as "my dear" in a kewpie doll voice.
I am a glass-half-full too. Let's see, one irritation for me is this generation of wait staff and/or other service helpers who say "No problem" instead of "My pleasure" or "You're welcome" when asked for something. What does "no problem" mean anyway?
Okay, considering the day, I'm surprised you didn't have this on your list...freezing cold weather :)
Just this afternoon?
1. Discovering a truly glorious new dog beach only 15 minutes from home.
2. Meeting & chatting to the most gorgeous strangers on the dog beach.
3. Having a quiet home [sans children] to have a post beach snooze [from which I've just woken - yay!]
1. Discovering mud wasp nests inside the house - grrrr!
2. A kitchen bench full of washing and drying up!
3. Cracked heels
Not wanting to finish on a negative though, I'll pop in a few extra 'lovees':
4. Kids & their guests coming back for second, third and fourth helpings of my fried rice at lunch
5. Have an open and honest talk with teenagers about the 'big stuff' and feeling like they really listened
6. Receiving a goodbye kiss from a teen stepdaughter in front of her friends
7. Your song selection on the blog today - had me tapping my toes - a true gift - thank you.
Biggest of warm-hearted & happy hugs from over the seas,
Always thought provoking, dear Suzanne...
I guess I am more glass half-full, but...presumptions, assumptions, judgments, prejudice are a few of my not-favorite things. ;)
Stay warm...sheesh, this is something, isn't it?
- Irina
I don't love bad customer service - grrr. It is quick to change my mood for the day.
But I love my family and friends like mad. Love a good book, a beautiful garden, good cup of tea with yummy dessert, sunny warmth on my face. I think this puts me at 'half full' :) XoL
Oh boy....I will restrain myself, but heres a few, people who talk loudly on their cell phones while in a public place (NO we dont' want to hear about your daughters breakup or how your manicurist got fired), people who are addicted to texting, EVEN at dinner or lunch! Social climbers (ugh), and people who talk down to those they think are beneath them, like someone talking down to a waiter, HATE that. Thats to start...could go on:) I am most definitely a half full kind of girl...see the world through not just rose colored glasses, but make that neon pink:)
I am absolutely a glass half full girl:) But.....I don't love the smell of stink bugs when they have been smushed or when my dog gets sprayed by a skunk:)
Good morning dear friend!
What don"t I love? UNCREATIVITY!!! Ohhhhh, how I need to SEE IT HAPPENING all around me! I gotta run to school where creativity is a MUST!
you know, how do you put a positive spin even on the 'petty annoyances'?? :))
i hate sleeping in {even though i love it and i'm a natural at it}, photos i thought were great that just aren't {sigh}, mean girls-for sure, close-mindedness.
oh, and walmart.
linking to you today!
Big fan of the Mitford series. I'd like to reread them all. That picture of the clocks made me gasp. So many all in one place!
Let's see petty annoyances...slow drivers, tailgaters, people who butt in line, when a restaurant runs out my favorite food, argumentative people, flight cancelations, Presidential address during my favorite show, people who don't RSVP, problems returning an item....Geesh I could go on and on. What's up with me today? There are of course a multitude of things to be grateful for...not enough room to even begin. You are one of them...that's for sure.
I don't love waking up in the middle of a fabulous dream I was having! I used to be a glass half empty. Now, as an act of my will, I'm a glass half full woman!
Funny enough I was just sharing the joy of Karon's books and the love story of Tim and Cynthia with my dear friend Bonnie just yesterday. I am in love with this series and the message of Karon's novels. What a charming post. Now I must go meet with that same friend. We are running the consignment shop today. Be very afraid.
I love a cat on my lap with his head resting on my hand as I type on my computer watching the Today Show when I'm drinking my coffee in the morning. xo Jenny
I love Jan Karon's writing--every book is great! I love having a half-full glass, but what I don't love:
--empty milk carton put back in the fridge
--being stuck at a long red light when no traffic is coming in the cross street
yay! love your post for one thing...ALL of them. I am a glass half-full girl...a "Pollyanna" girl my hubby says.. I see it as the best choice - considering the two, and the "half-empty" attitude never helps the circumstances! I JUST finished reading that Mitford Series for the 2nd time...even BETTER - Love Jan Karon - wish she would do another series. Father Tim had his own awesome round-up of famous quotes ... I DON'T love:
Drivers who turn right on RED just when you are approaching the intersection on GREEN!!! argh...
cakes that fall ... owners who let their dogs "go" in your yard and don't pick it up!...double argh!
I'll stop with 3 or else I might lose my Pollyanna status!!! but around here we try to stick to Da Marine's statement...LIFE is what you make of it...so....half-FULL! rah! Have a great Friday Suzanne!
I'm a 'lover' married to a 'not-lover' ... it's a challenge.
always been a half full gal as well.
Few don't likes off the top of my head - people who don't send thank-you notes or RSVP.
Long movie previews at the theater so you feel as though you've already seen the movie.
A server who asks "will you be needing change", just bugs me for some reason but still, happy I am able to go out for a meal :)
This is so cute. Hmm, what don't I love....rude people, unloading the dishwashers, cold toes.
I think I complain a lot but they seem to leave my brain just as fast as they come in. I definitely love more than I hate. :)
I don't love people who feel entitled or people who drive slow in the fast lane or music played by neighbors so loudly that you can still hear it when your windows are closed...I could go on and on, l.o.l.That said, I think of myself as a glass half full kind of person, maybe I need a reality check, ha,ha.
I'm completely a 'glass is half-full' kind of girl. But I learned that I dislike living in a frigid climate, but I also dislike leaving the friends I made in said frigid climate ....see, I am a half-full girl!
How fun and I must check out these books!!
Daily aggravations:
the wet towel on the bedroom floor, the socks found on the floor of the family room, the argument over the vegetables served for dinner....
but mostly I appreciate how petty these problems are and feel so grateful for the sometimes messy, sometimes cranky people who occupy my house!!
:) happy weekend S!! xoxoxL.
I didn't get it written in time for Monday but I guess today's post works well with your question. I LOVE the beach and time spent there with my family.
I also love that half full half empy glass you shared. WHERE DID YOU GET IT? ADORE!
Definitely a half-full outlook here! Plus if it's half-full, there's always room for more!
xo Cathy
I'm more of a 'that's another glass I have to wash kinda girl' haha! I guess a realist ;)
3 Things that I don't love...
1- People complaining when they are on vacation.
2- putting on clean socks only to step in a water puddle by the fridge or dog bowl.
3- goosebumps
I might have to pick that book up..it sounds good!
You always make me think, I love that about you. :-)
What don't I love?
My glass is half full down here in Texas, I am happy to say!
Love you, my friend!
half full here in the burbs, too
not lovin' ...
these 9 inches of snow falling
people that don't email back
Sunday services with announcements for 20 minutes
not having time to read
paint that won't stick
people that WERE your friend, all of a sudden not your friend
as always
missn u
I think I am a find the love kind of person, but I guess the little things I don't love are taking dogs out in the pouring rain, people who tailgate, and when I can't get a hold of my kids on their cell phones!
Happy Weekend!
Kat :)
I'm normally a glass half full person...just very sad right now with the loss of my
Cappi...Working hard at keeping my chin up.
Oh , dear Suzanne,
I also prefer the positive question of what I like ; it's more easy for me to answer...Couple of days ago I was craving for snow and while sharing with my son, he pointed out " you love rain, you love snow, you love fall ...is there anything that you don't like " I guess it makes me a lover, not a do-not- lover. But just for the record some of my everyday life paper cuts: inconsiderable people, excessive noises,radio stations with 25 minutes commercials,women who drive Hummers, people who don't pick up after their pets,drivers who text ...I don't love circus , casinos, ...and , of course bureaucracy ...
I love your soul !
I love these books. Thanks for sharing....made me tear up! I love reading good blogs! All perfect sentences make me happy. Also: raspberries eaten off the canes, and anticipation before a trip.
Great post as always Suzanne! I am usually a glass-to-the-top kind of girl, BUT I don't really like the cold; dry, crocodile Winter skin; and stubbing my toe in the middle of the night (or any time)
I love your photos!!!!
sending many hugs...
Another super post, Suzanne. Beautifully written and developed.
I was raised a glass half empty child but made the conscious decision in my 20's to be a glass half full. BEST decision EVER! The world opened up, opportunities arose, positive people came into my life.
What don't I love?
Shoes that start to rub once I've got to my destination.
Bin juice.
People dropping litter..
Love? So much. I even love my dog farting (am I allowed to use that word?), because she does it with such innocence and because it means she's alive (she's 15) :o)
Oh I love your post and I do love the Mitford series...read them all years ago...time to bring them out again...so many wonderful quotes in those books. I adore positive people...that is why I so love you my friend. xoxoxox HUGS xoxo
Great post! It made me smile. Let's see; I don't love: the unemployment rate, my dog chewing the internet cable in half and cold french fries!
I DO love: this fun post! Talk to you soon.
Well, since I've just had the flu I can honestly say I don't like the flu! I don't like when my feet are cold, I don't like people who talk nasty behind other's backs, I don't like car trouble and waiting for the car to be repaired.
I love feeling great, I love a sunny day, I love roses and all flowers, I love nice and creative people...the list could go on and on. More good than bad! XO
We too love evening snowfalls, dinner parties with dear friends, weekend antiquing trips, and an old movie with a big bowl of popcorn and a crackling fire. These are a few of our favorite things. Loved hearing yours!
xo E + J
I DO love this post - and your blog!! I love this idea for comments!
I don't love coughing all the time at the moment. Broken sleep. And orange peel trodden into the floor.
I do love the charming relationship of Father Tim and his beautiful Cynthia.
I don't love noise, clutter, people who never ask questions, boring food ...
Oh I don't love those little pills that form on a well loved sweater, static electricity that gives you a shock inside in the winter and finding grounds in a morning cup of coffee. But other then that today I'm a happy camper! Very sweet and charming post and it makes me treasure all the little things that I do love! xoxo ~Lili
So great that you added this to my Post Of The Month Club. Thank you for joining - it wouldn't be the same without you there!!! Have a great weekend, Miss Suzanne :)
Popping over from the Happy Homemaker Post of the Month Club. Great post. I love the Jan Karon books. I especially love the little town she based the books on, Blowing Rock.

The technology giant has created a new 'Prior Art Finder' which enables users to search "multiple sources" in order to review whether ideas they hope to patent are in fact novel. The tool, which "instantly pulls together information relevant" to patent applications, will enable inventors to review documents submitted with both the United States Patent & Trademark Office and the European Patent Office, among other sources, Google said.
To qualify for patent protection inventions must primarily be new, take an inventive step that is not obvious and be useful to industry.
"To explain why an invention is new, inventors will usually cite prior art such as earlier patent applications or journal articles," Jon Orwant, engineering manager at Google, said in a company blog. "Determining the novelty of a patent can be difficult, requiring a laborious search through many sources, and so we've built a Prior Art Finder to make this process easier. With a single click, it searches multiple sources for related content that existed at the time the patent was filed."
"The Prior Art Finder identifies key phrases from the text of the patent, combines them into a search query, and displays relevant results from Google Patents, Google Scholar, Google Books, and the rest of the web," he added.
Orwant said he hoped the feature would supplement existing search methods patent applicants use and that the tool would be refined and extended once Google "develop a better understanding of how to analyse patent claims and how to integrate the results into the workflow of patent searchers."
Earlier this year Google announced that it had partnered with the EPO to introduce free new language translation technology on the EPO's website. At the time the EPO said that it had provided Google with "several hundred thousand high quality translations of patents" in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Swedish which Google had used to "train" its existing automated translation software.

Best Modern Kids Chairs 2013
I never really considered seating for my kids' rooms an important element. After all, how much do they actually sit? But with two kids in elementary school now, I often find them reading books or looking at magazines (Boys' Life, anyone?) while sprawled on the floor. Perhaps they could use a chair or two in their rooms.
I've rounded up some sleek modern chairs that are designed with kids in mind. While not all of them are appropriate for reading, they are definitely all fun.
1. Baby Acapulco Chair, $200.
2. Yolk Chair, $585.
3. Utzon Kids Wave Chair, $713.
4. Magis Puppy Kids Chair by Eero Aarnio, $53.
5. Giddy Up Kids Chair, $695.
6. Kid's Ball Chair, $599.

Work, Volunteer and Study in Australia - Frequently Asked Questions
Planning a working holiday in Australia? Here are some answers to the most frequently asked questions.
Can I work legally in Australia?
If you intend to work while you are on holiday in Australia, you must apply for the correct visa before you arrive. The Australian Government has strict laws regarding employment of non-citizens and penalties for breaking the law. This applies to all types of full-time, part-time, casual, shift and voluntary work. See border.gov.au.
What is a Working Holiday Maker visa?
Australia offers a Working Holiday Maker program that allows young adults from participating countries to have an extended holiday in Australia and earn money through short-term employment. There are two types of Working Holiday Maker visas: Working Holiday visa (Subclass 417) and Work and Holiday visa (Subclass 462). The visa you should apply for depends on your country of residence. These types of visas allow you to stay and work in Australia for up to 12 months. See border.gov.au.
Is there an age limit on a Working Holiday Maker visa?
Yes. You must be aged between 18 and 30 years at the time of applying for your visa.
Which nationalities can apply for a Working Holiday Maker visa?
Countries currently participating in the Working Holiday and Work and Holiday programs include: Belgium, Canada, Republic of Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Republic of Ireland, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Taiwan, United Kingdom, Argentina, Bangladesh, Chile, People's Republic of China, Indonesia, Israel, Malaysia, Poland, Portugal, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Thailand, Turkey, USA and Uruguay. See border.gov.au.
How much does a Working Holiday Maker visa cost?
There is a non-refundable charge when you lodge your visa application, depending on the date of your application. For current working holiday visa application costs and a pricing estimator visit border.gov.au.
How long is a Working Holiday Maker visa valid?
Once you are granted a Working Holiday Maker visa, you will have 12 months to arrive in Australia. You are allowed to stay for a maximum of 12 months from the date that you first enter the country.
Can I leave Australia again once I've entered on a Working Holiday Maker visa?
Yes. You can leave and re-enter Australia any number of times while the visa is valid.
How long can I work on a Working Holiday Maker visa?
You can undertake temporary employment in Australia for up to six months with any one employer. You can also study for up to four months. For more information visit border.gov.au.
Can I stay longer?
If you hold (or have previously held) a Working Holiday (Subclass 417) visa and work in Australia's regional areas, you may be able to extend your stay for another 12 months with a second Working Holiday visa. To be eligible you must have completed three months (or 88 days) specified work in regional areas of Australia while on your first Working Holiday visa.
What counts as 'specified' work in Australia?
There are many different industries you can work to complete your specified work requirement including seasonal farm work, forestry, fishing, mining and construction. This work must be completed in regional Australia and excludes Sydney, Newcastle, the Central Coast, Wollongong, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Melbourne and Perth.
What should I do if I have overstayed my Working Holiday visa?
There are heavy penalties if your Working Holiday visa expires and you have not left Australia or applied for another visa. You may also not be allowed to return to Australia for a period of time. The Community Status Resolution Service (CSRS) is a free service that can grant you a bridging visa while you resolve your immigration matter. A bridging visa is a short-term, temporary visa that allows you to stay in Australia lawfully until your immigration matter is finalised.
Are there any other options to stay longer, such as being sponsored?
There may be options if you wish to stay temporarily or permanently in Australia at the end of your working holiday. To find out appropriate visa and eligibility requirements visit border.gov.au.
How do I apply for a Working Holiday Maker visa?
Applications are to be made through the Department of Immigration and Border Protection. You can apply online, by post or courier after completing the relevant forms.
How long will my Working Holiday Maker visa application take?
A Working Holiday Visa (Subclass 417) and Work and Holiday visa (Subclass 462) can generally be issued in around six days. Second Working Holiday visas take around 14-21 days to process. Processing times may be affected by factors such as the completeness of applications lodged and additional checks performed by visa processing officers, such as those relating to health and character.
What kinds of work can I expect to do on my working holiday?
You can do any kind of lawful work on your working holiday visa including full-time, part-time, casual, shift and voluntary work.
Where can I find out about available jobs?
Tourism Australia has partnered with online recruitment agency monster.com to create a website of job vacancies available for working holiday visitors.
Information about harvest work opportunities in regional Australia can be found at the Australian Government's Harvest Trail website: www.harvesttrail.gov.au.
Can I study on a working holiday?
You can study for up to four months during your 12 month visa. The working holiday programs are not suitable for those seeking to study full-time in Australia. If your primary reason for coming to Australia is to study you should ask about a student visa, which may better suit your needs.
Do I need a student visa?
The Australian Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) will grant you a student visa if your course is registered, or part of a registered course, on a full-time basis. Under a student visa, you'll have access to Australia's subsidised student health cover and can apply for permission to work part-time. For more information visit studyinaustralia.gov.au.
How much money do I need to bring to Australia on my working holiday visit?For your Working Holiday Maker visa application you must demonstrate that you have access to sufficient funds to support yourself for the initial stage of your holiday. You should also have a return or onward ticket or the funds for a fare to depart Australia.
How much can I expect to earn?
Australian laws set out pay rates and conditions of employment. To find examples of wages across a number of industries visit fairwork.gov.au.
Will I have to pay taxes?
Taxes will be deducted from any money you make. You will also need to open an Australian bank account and obtain a tax file number before you start work.
How do I open an Australian bank account?
Opening a bank account can be done on arrival, just visit a bank with your passport and relevant documentation. The Australian Bankers Association provides helpful independent information to help you choose a bank account that best suits your needs.
How do I apply for a Tax File Number?
If you have a valid visa already issued, which allows you to work in Australia, you can apply for an Australian Tax File Number online via the Australian Taxation Office.
Can I claim any superannuation earned while working in Australia?
If you are a temporary resident who works in Australia, you are entitled to receive a superannuation guarantee (also known as 'super') from your employer/s.
Temporary residents can claim their super when all of the following criteria apply:
- They visited Australia on a temporary visa (excluding Retirement visa holders and Investor Retirement visa holders)
- Their visa has ceased to be in effect (expired or cancelled)
- They have left Australia
- They are not an Australian or New Zealand citizen, or a permanent resident of Australia
This payment is known as a Departing Australia Superannuation Payment (DASP). See ato.gov.au for more information.
How do I claim my Departing Australia Superannuation Payment (DASP)?
The easiest and cheapest way to claim a DASP is using the ATO's free DASP online application system. The system can be used to locate and claim super balances, whether held by a super fund or by the ATO.
Note: New Zealand citizens leaving Australia permanently may be able to transfer their super to New Zealand under the Trans-Tasman Retirement Savings Portability scheme for individuals.
Can I volunteer in Australia?
Volunteering is a great way to get involved with a local community and deepen your Australian experience. WWOOF (Willing Workers on Organic Farms) place travellers on organic farms, where farmers provide flexible jobs in exchange for accommodation and meals. Expect to work half a day for a full day's board. This model applies to a huge variety of other volunteer roles, from rescuing turtles in Cape York to organising arts festivals in Arnhem Land. You could also sign up as a Conservation Volunteer and work as part of a team to help preserve precious Australian eco-systems. Your meals, accommodation and travel to and from the project are provided. There are also lots of global organisations offering volunteer research expeditions and volunteer holidays in Australia.

There are no mandatory gratuities in restaurant service charges
of any kind in Australia, and tips are not expected anywhere,
although it is becoming more common in expensive restaurants in the
bigger cities to leave some money for good service.
The crime rate in Australia is low, however travellers should be
aware that tourists could be targeted by petty criminals. Be
vigilant about personal possessions and travel documents,
particularly in popular tourist destinations such as along the Gold
Coast. There has been an increase in incidents of spiked drinks and
women in particular should be cautious in nightspots; many victims
were also sexually assaulted. Tropical cyclones normally occur
between November and April in some parts of Australia, usually in
Western Australia, Queensland and Northern Territory. There is a
serious risk of bush fires in summer, especially in Victoria,
Tasmania, New South Wales and ACT. During the summer months,
usually between October and May, the shallow coastal waters of
northern Australia and Queensland become infested with marine
stingers, commonly known as box jellyfish, whose sting is highly

Kellie Pickler And Kyle Jacobs Get Married In The Carribean
Kellie Pickler and Kyle Jacobs are married! The singer, 24, and songwriter Jacobs, 37, eloped on Jan. 1, exchanging vows in the Caribbean. Her rep tells PEOPLE that it was a "small, intimate ceremony."
The couple, who have been together since 2008, were engaged on June 15 on a Florida beach at sunset. June 15 also represents the birthday of Pickler's late grandmother Faye. But despite the sadness, the day "turned out to be the most amazing day of my life," Pickler admits. "My whole world changed. We both feel like we got my grandmother's blessing."
Pickler recently posted an adorable black and white Twitter picture of the lovebirds with the caption "crazy about this man."
It seems that New Year's Day, or rather 1/1/11, is a favored wedding date, as Shania Twain and Frederic Thiebaud also tied the knot that same day in Puerto Rico.
Pickler, who made her big break on 'American Idol' in 2006, has since released five Top 20 charting singles, including her Top 10 hit'Best Days of Your Life' with BFF Taylor Swift. Her latest single, 'Makin' Me Fall in Love Again,' reached No. 30 on the Hot Country Songs chart.
Congrats to Kellie Pickler and Kyle Jacobs!

I am talking about Mike DaShark. Mike is one of the brainiest individuals I know, at the same time he is as pleasantly unassuming as you would expect an intellectual heavy-weight to be.
If I were asked to describe Mike in one sentence, I'd say this about him: Not a trace of hot air, no underdeveloped ego in need to be puffed up, no show biz on his own behalf, incorruptible, and solid as a rock inmidst the busy pettiness of self-interest that is so characteristic of most shark conservationist groups.
Mike is not an English native speaker; he hasn't even had a formal language training in English - he just picked it up and practiced it. And yet - few educated people speak and write English the way he does.
Here are, then, the thoughts of an ex-banker who abandoned a very successful investment banking career, and all that goes with it, to become a dedicated, hard working, and persevering shark conservationist in Fiji.
Mike - you rock!!

Chugiak swim/dive sweeps to open season
Chugiak High's swimming and diving team swept West High on Friday, Aug. 25 to kick off the 2011 campaign. The boys notched an 88-66 victory while the girls edged the Eagles 98-84.
Samantha Burke (50 freestyle, 500 freestyle) and Erin Cockerham (100 butterfly, 100 breaststroke) led the girls with wins in two events. Chugiak's boys had first-place finishes in seven of 11 events.
Chugiak junior Kaitlin Friedli took first place in the 1-meter diving competition. Last year, Friedli finished second in the Cook Inlet Conference meet and fourth at state. Friedli said she's hoping to take gold at both meets this season.
Both are attainable goals, said Chugiak's fifth-year head coach Jessica Kopischke.
"She's gonna be a contender for top place at regions and top place at state," Kopischke said.
Friedli's work ethic sets her apart from other divers, Kopischke said.
"She works really hard," Kopischke said. "She's got a fantastic attitude about it, which makes her great to coach."
Six of the 13 Mustangs who went to state last year are returning. Cierra Holtman, who took first in the 100 backstroke against West, Cockerham and Maegan Lange join Friedli as returners with state experience.
For the boys, Andrew Espe and Grant Ensign earned state berths last year. Espe swam to victory in the 50 freestyle against West and Ensign took first in the 200 freestyle.
A smaller-than-usual 28 total swimmers and divers were on the team as of Aug. 25, Kopischke said.
Kopischke said eliminating swimming at the middle school level has hurt sport throughout the Anchorage School District.
"The teams over the years have been dwindling in the district," she said.
The number of boys and girls is nearly even for Chugiak, Kopischke said, with returners making up about 2/3 of the team.
The diving team, too, has shrunk. The average of five to seven has dropped to just two divers this season.
"It's a lot smaller this year," Friedli said.
Fewer swimmers shouldn't affect the boys, said Espe, a senior captain in his third year on the team.
"We're gonna be at least as strong or stronger than last year," he said.
A top-three finish in the 100-meter backstroke at state is a personal goal for Espe. As a team, he said, the boys are hoping to send a relay team to state.
A strong freshmen group will keep Chugiak's girls competitive, said senior captain Amy Hartke.
"We have a pretty good girls team," she said.
After finishing ninth at the CIC meet — one place away from qualifying for state — in her individual events (200 IM, 500 IM), Hartke said she's hoping to make state this year.
Hartke took first in the 200 IM against West.
As a team, the girls want to send as many to state as possible — which could be quite a few — and a relay team, Hartke said.
"I think we have a very good chance of getting lots of people to state," she said. "Potentially, we have a really good team."
The entire team has been giving maximum effort at practices, Kopischke said.
"Our team as a whole is doing a fantastic job," she said. "They're working hard. I couldn't ask for a better group of kids for work ethic."

Comcast has expanded its IPv6 trial, adding hundreds of cable modem subscribers in the San Francisco, Philadelphia, Chicago and Miami areas to participants in Littleton, Colo., that have been operational all year with this next-generation Internet service.
Comcast's IPv6 trial expansion, to be announced in a blog post on Monday, is timed so that these subscribers can participate in World IPv6 Day, a 24-hour trial of IPv6 being conducted by popular websites such as Google, Facebook and Yahoo starting at 8 p.m. EST on Tuesday.
BACKGROUND: Large-scale IPv6 trial set for June 8
Comcast was the first cable operator in the United States to begin trials of IPv6, an upgrade to the Internet's main communications protocol, which is known as IPv4. IPv6 features an expanded addressing scheme that can support billions of devices connected directly to the Internet at faster speeds and lower cost than IPv4, which is running out of address space.
"We've put a lot of effort into expanding our IPv6 trial into other parts of the country," said John Brzozowski, distinguished engineer and chief architect for IPv6 at Comcast. "We've added more trial subscribers in dual-stack [running both IPv4 and IPv6] configurations. ...We have several hundred subscribers in the trial."
Comcast is offering a high-speed data service that allows its customers to access Internet content via either IPv4 or IPv6 because they have both types of addresses on their home gateways. Comcast hooked up its first cable modem customers to this service in January.
DETAILS: Comcast claims another IPv6 first
Comcast is participating in World IPv6 Day, having enabled IPv6 on several of its websites that are aimed at network managers, including http://networkmanagement.comcast.net and http://mydeviceinfo.comcast.net.
"Now we've just got a handful of people doing IPv6, but I fully expect to see a significant increase in IPv6 traffic" on World IPv6 Day, Brzozowski said. "It'll be a significant increase, but the traffic numbers are still going to be pretty small. We're not going to reach anywhere near the level of traffic we get for IPv4."
Comcast and other carriers are migrating to IPv6 because the Internet is running out of addresses using IPv4. The free pool of unassigned IPv4 addresses expired in February, and in April the Asia Pacific region ran out of all but a few IPv4 addresses being held in reserve for startups. The American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN), which doles out IP addresses to network operators in North America, says it will deplete its supply of IPv4 addresses this fall.
IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses and can support 4.3 billion devices connected directly to the Internet, but IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses and can connect up a virtually unlimited number of devices: 2 to the 128th power. IPv6 offers the promise of faster, less-costly Internet services than the alternative, which is to extend the life of IPv4 using network address translation (NAT) devices.
One major stumbling block for IPv6 deployment is that it's not backward compatible with IPv4. That means carriers such as Comcast and website operators such as Google have to upgrade their network equipment and software to support IPv6 traffic.

Punter writes classy message after cut
Football players react differently to news they have been cut.
FOXSports.com looked at both sides on Friday through the eyes of Scott Fujita and Brendon Ayanbadejo.
However, it is unlikely many players have taken a rode higher than punter Zoltan Mesko, who was relased by the New England Patriots on Saturday.
Check out his post on Facebook :
First and foremost, I want to thank the New England Patriots for everything they have done for me. I have nothing but love in my heart as I depart this great organization. Mr. Kraft, the coaches, the strength staff, the trainers, the media personnel, the marketing department, the rest of the amazing staff members at Gillette, and especially my teammates...THANK YOU for all that you have given and have done for me. I want to say that I see the silver lining in things now more than ever, and am a true believer that things DO happen for a reason. This goes out to anyone that will ever come across a mere bump in the road; be thankful, be positive, because there's a deeper purpose of WHY things happen that we may not yet, or may never come to understand. Just believe. I will miss New England, and more than anything, I'll be missing the smiles on those kids whom I visited and acted like a goofball in front of. It was ALL worth it. God bless.
Classy way to say goodbye, Mr. Mesko.

Amanda Bynes and Her Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Hair Day [VIDEO, PHOTOS]
As you've probably heard by now, everyone's favorite hot mess Amanda Bynes was arrested Thursday night for pot possession and winging a foot-long glass bong out of her 36th-floor apartment window. (She now says the bong was a vase, but that's kinda like saying the pot was oregano.)
Anyway, legal issues aside, Amanda's hair has taken center stage since the debacle started last night. Even her mugshots show two radically different looks.
A while back, she claimed she had to shave her head thanks to a bad dye job, and since then she's had a myriad of extensions (or a combo of a shaved head and extensions).
Guess none of that worked, because she still has super-short hair and is apparently so unhappy about it that she's taken to wearing a ratty platinum blonde wig.
In the video above, you'll see her looking fairly comical at her Friday morning court appearance. Below, we have a selection of photos of her rocking that same wig over the past couple days (including in one of her dual mugshots).
