This Regiment was organized in February, 1862, under Colonel Rodney Mason, who was succeeded by Colonel H.K. McConnel. It soon took the field in Kentucky under Sherman, and after a demonstration on Columbus it moved up the Tennessee River to Pittsburg Landing, and participated in the battle of Shiloh both days, sustaining a loss of 130 men. During the summer of 1862 it performed garrison duty on the Cumberland River, and in August was obliged to surrender to an overwhelming force at Clarksburg Tennessee. After its exchange it garrisoned the railroads in Tennessee until the battle of Nashville, where it was actively engaged with severe loss. At the close of the war it was ordered to Texas, where it served until mustered out in January, 1866.

WHILE it is true that the "French and Indian War," the struggle for American independence, various desolating Indian wars, and the war of 1812-15 had all taken place long before the settlement, by the whites, of any portion of the territory now designated Wyandot County, yet
many of the pioneers who located here were descendants of Revolutionary sires, while others among them had been active participants in wars of a later date. This region, too, had already gained prominence in history as the scene of Crawford's disastrous engagement with the Indians and their British allies in 1782, and as the point of concentration, during the war of 1812-15, of a considerable body of American riflemen. Crawford' s expedition, however, has already been treated at considerable length in another place, hence this chapter begins with a brief account of the operations conducted here during the last war with Great Britain.
In October and November, 1812, several battalions of Pennsylvania Militia, mustered into the service of the United States for a term of six months, and under the command of Brig. Gen. Richard Crooks, marched from the southwestern counties of Pennsylvania-the region which had furnished men for Crawford's expedition thirty years before-towards what was then termed the "Northern" or "Canadian Frontier." Cutting out roads through the wilderness for the passage of their wagon trains and artillery, Gen. Crooks' command moved forward from Pittsburgh via the sites of the present towns of Canton and Mansfield to a point now occupied by the town of Upper Sandusky, intending to take part with the Kentucky volunteers in the reduction of British posts along the Great Lakes; but it Appears that this body of Pennsylvanians proceeded no farther than this point-Upper Sandusky. Here they erected a work of defense termed Fort Ferree, and here they remained through the following winter, or until their terms of service had expired. The locality chosen had certain ad. vantages in a military point of view, being at the junction of Gen. Harrison's military road leading southward to the Ohio River, and northward to Lower Sandusky; besides, it commanded an extended view of the surrounding country, had a fine spring of pure limpid water gushing from the foot of the low bluff near by, and was a central place in the country of the friendly Wyandots, whose principal town was about four miles distant in a north. easterly direction.
Fort Ferree occupied grounds on the east side of the present town, or near the bluff about fifty rods northeast of the court house. It was a square stockade work, inclosed an area of about two acres,
and had very substantially constructed block-houses at each of the four corners, one of which was standing as late as 1850. The troops, while stationed at this place, were rather poorly supplied with camp and garrison equipage, provisions, and medical stores; a wilderness, hundreds of miles in extent, separated them from their base of supplies and their homes, and many sickened and died. The bodies of those who died here seem to have been buried where the present public buildings stand, and for some dis. tance to the westward of the same; for street gradings, and various excavations made in the vicinity mentioned, have brought to the surface, bones of the human body, buttons bearing the letters U. S. stamped on their face, and rosettes of leather with the American eagle in brass fixed upon them.
During the same war, Gen. Harrison made this point his headquarters, for a brief period. At the same time, a number of companies of " light horse " encamped on "Armstrong's Bottom," two miles south of the fort. One mile north of Fort Ferree, near the river, Gov. Meigs encamped in August, 1813, with several thousand of the Ohio militia, then on their way to the relief of Fort Meigs. The place was called " The Grand Encampment, " and subsequently was chosen as the "Mission Farm." Receiving here the news of the raising of the siege of Fort Meigs, and the repulse of the British at Fort Stephenson, they prosecuted their march no farther, and were soon after permitted to return to their homes.
When the Mexican war began, Wyandot, as a county, had been in existence but a few months, yet many more men offered their services as volunteers than could be accepted. Thus, we learn, that during the last days of May, 1846, a. body of volunteers known as the " Sandusky Rangers," and commanded by Capt. John Caldwell, marched from Upper Sandusky to Cincinnati, Ohio. They were stationed a' " Camp Washington," near that city (where one of their number, W. L. Stearns, died of disease), until the 19th of June following, when, for some well-founded reason, they were mustered out of service. Immediately after their discharge, several of the "rangers " reenlisted in commands which were retained in service. Among those who thus joined the company from Tiffin were H. Miller, Jr., A. W. Coleman, W, L. Beard, T. D. Shue, A. Potter, John Stouffer, D. Nichols and C. West.
At a war meeting, held in Upper Sandusky June 1, 1846, another company of volunteers was formed. Its officers were Andrew McElvain, Captain; Moses H. Kirby, First Lieutenant; Christian Huber, Second Lieutenant; Thomas Officer, Ensign; and Purdy McElvain, First Sergeant. But this company also failed to be accepted for a term of service, and from. that time all organized efforts to recruit volunteers at this point ceased. Subsequently, Capt. John Caldwell was appointed Commissary of a regiment of Ohio volunteers, and proceeded to Mexico in August, 1846. In June, 1847, Lieut. H. Miller, Jr., and other Wyandot County volunteers returned home from Mexico.
"Ah ! never shall the land forget
How gushed the life-blood of her brave
Gushed, warm with hope and courage yet,
Upon the toil they fought to save." *
Immediately after the election of Abraham Lincoln as President of the United States, the rebel leaders of the South began making preparations.
From Bryant's "Battle Field."
for secession and war. During the closing months of Buchanan's adminis. tration, State after State in the slave-holding portion of the Federal Union had passed ordinances of secession, officers were commissioned, companies and battalions were organized, and long before Lincoln's inauguration, all was in readiness to seize every vestige of Government property in their midst-navy-yards, forts, arsenals, mint, revenue cutters, and the thousands of stands of arms, cannon, ammunition, etc., so conveniently placed at their disposal by the traitor Floyd. They had erected batteries on Morris and James Islands, on Stono Inlet and Cumming's Point, all looking to the bombardment and capture of Fort Sumter and a repulse of all Federal attempts to re-enforce or retake it.
At last, after too long pursuing a halting policy, which looked much like connivance at treason, President Buchanan, aroused to a sense of duty by the murmur of the loyal people, decided to re-enforce and re-victual be threatened fort. Accordingly, on the 5th of January, 1881, the steamer Star of the West, chartered by the Government, left the city of New York with 250 troops, their ammunition and accoutrements, and started for Fort Sumter. On the morning of the 9th of January, a's she slowly steamed up the bay, a masked battery on Morris Island, manned by rebels, opened fire upon her. There and then was fired the first gun in the fearful life and death struggle since known as the war of the rebellion. The "star. spangled banner" was floating over the steamer. She continued on her course some ten minutes, the batteries belching forth their shot, flame and smoke. when it was found impossible to execute the order, as it was neces. sary to pass close under the guns of the battery on the island ; also near Fort Moultrie, ere she could make for Sumter. Capt. McGowan, the officer in charge, turned her down the channel and returned to New York.. Fort Sumter was doomed.
Thus passed the hours until the 4th of March, 1861, when the Nation changed its rulers. James Buchanan retired and Abraham Lincoln as. sumed the administration of the National Government. The interest manifested by the people, both North and South, was painfully intense. The people of the North awaited with anxious solicitude the publication of his inaugural address, for in that they were to know the fate of the nationwhether its dignity, its rights and power would be upheld and vindicated or the Southern oligarchy be permitted to subjugate its power, humiliate its flag, and forever destroy the existence of the great American Republic.
President Lincoln's inaugural was received with joy by the mass of the people at the North. At the South it was accepted as a declaration of war, and they rejoiced that such a shallow pretense was afforded them. The policy of both sections now rapidly assumed shape, and preparations were made for war. The object which was to bring on the iron storm loomed up heavily in the Southern horizon. That object was Fort Sumter. Every day proved that the rebels of South Carolina intended to capture the fort. On the 11th of April, Gen. Beauregard demanded of Maj. Anderson its surrender. The Major replied that his sense of honor and his obligations to his country prevented his compliance with it. Other correspondence followed during the night of the 11th of April, but unsatisfactory to the rebel authorities. Maj. Anderson remained loyal to the " old flag,' and evinced so strong a determination to maintain it, that it was resolved to reduce the fort. Hardly had the first gray of dawn, on the 12th day of April, revealed Sumter, ere a shell was thrown from a battery on James Island, which burst directly over the works. All Charleston people were
out on their housetops or high eminences to witness the terrible scene, and one young female rebel, in a letter written that morning it Charleston, to her mother in Columbia, S. C., began as follows: " Dear Mama - The cannons are now whizzing through the air. Cousin George thinks the Yankees will soon all be killed, or compelled to surrender. All of our friends are out to see the fun. It is just grand." *
The die was now cast. Civil war was now inaugurated. Fort Sumter fell on the 13th of April, after a terrific bombardment of thirty-four hours' duration. This was the commencement of the grand tragedy speedily to follow. On the 15th of April, 1861, President Lincoln called by proclamation for seventy-five thousand volunteers to suppress the insurrection, He also called an extra session of the National Congress, to convene on the coming 4th of July. The very next day the rebel government issued a call for thirty-two thousand volunteers, which, with their former force, equaled that of the National Government. These troops were rapidly equipped and put into the field. Departments were organized and Generals commissioned and assigned commands. Washington at once became the rallying point of the larger portion of the Northern volunteers.
Nowhere throughout the loyal North did the President's proclamation, calling for seventy-five thousand volunteers to serve for a period of three months, create more patriotic enthusiasm, or meet with a more cordial response in the immediate tender of men for service in the armies of the United States than in the county of Wyandot. For a brief period all business, apparently, was suspended, and naught was seen or heard in the streets of her towns but the display of National colors, groups of excited men in earnest discussion, small parties of volunteers marching in cadence step, or to the drum beat, and the voices of impassioned orators, who, though usually able and active workers-at home, were seldom to be seen or heard in the fore-front of battle. AS a result, hardly had the wires ceased to click the call for men ere three full companies of Wyandot County volunteers, under the command of Capts. Wilson, Kirby and Tyler, were in readiness to move forward where ordered. From that hour until the close of the war, the loyal and patriotic people of the county never lagged when called upon for men, material, or money, and her sons, sufficient in number to form nearly two regiments, performed valiant service upon all the great battle-fields of the rebellion. As a means, therefore, of perpetuating their names and their deeds to the latest generations, the remainder of this chapter will be devoted to brief accounts of the various battles, marches, etc., in which they were conspicuous participants.
This regiment was among the first to respond to the President's call for 75,000 men for three months' service, and on the 4th of May, 1861, it was organized at Camp Jackson, Columbus, Ohio. Four days later it moved to Camp Goddard, near Zanesville, Ohio. Here it passed about ten days in preparing for active duty in the field. It was then ordered into West Virginia, and crossing the Ohio River at Bellaire, it was employed for some time in guard duty on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, advancing as far as Grafton. Subsequently it was engaged in the rout of the rebels under Gen. Porterfield, at Philippi-June 13-and afterward took part in the movements around Laurel Hill and Carrick's Ford. The Fifteenth performed a large amount of marching and guard duty and rendered valua-

ble service to the Government in assisting to stay the progress of the enemy, who were endeavoring to carry the war into the North. Having served its term of enlistment, it returned to Columbus, Ohio, and was discharged about the 1st of August, having lost but two men-one killed and one died of disease. Three of its companies during the three months' service-C, G and I -commanded. respectively by Capts. William T. Wilson, Peter A. Tyler and Isaac M. Kirby, were recruited in Wyandot County.
Immediately after the disbandment of the three months' organization, Col. Moses R. Dickey and Lieut. Col. William T. Wilson, assisted by Maj. William Wallace and Capts. Cummings, McClenahan, Miller, Kirby, Askew, Glover, Dawson, Cummins, Gilliland and Holloway, began the reorganization of the regiment for the three years' service. Recruiting progressed rapidly, many of the original members re-enlisted, and ere the lapse of many days at " Camp Mordecai Bartley," near Mansfield, Ohio, the ranks of the Fifteenth Regiment were again filled. Of its ten companies, D, Capt. Isaac M. Kirby in command, represented Wyandot County.
The regiment left Camp Bartley for Camp Dennison September 26, 1861, and after a few days detention at the latter place, in obtaining arms, equipments, etc., it proceeded to Lexington, Ky. A few days later it was transported by rail to Louisville, and from there to Nolins Station, where it was assigned to the Sixth Brigade (Gen. R. W. Johnson), Second Division (Gen. A. McD. McCook), of the Army of the Ohio, then commanded by Gen. Wilfiam T. Sherman, subsequently by Gen. Buell. It thereafter participated in the movements of Buell's army, without sustaining any losses worthy of mention until in the second day's battle at Pittsburg Landing, where it lost six men killed and sixty-two wounded. With its division the regiment remained in the vicinity of Corinth, Miss., until the middle of June, when it marched away with Buell's army, and after moving from point to point in the States of Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky, arrived at Nashville, It., Tenn., November 7,1862, as part of Gen, Rosecrans' command, the latter having succeeded Gen. Buell on the march from Louisville, Nashville.
In the battle of Stone River the regiment was heavily engaged, losing eighteen killed, and eighty-nine wounded. Subsequently it took part in the advance movements which resulted in the occupation of Chattanooga. After crossing the Tennessee River the regiment remained on the extreme right flank of the army until the morning of the 19th of September, 1863, when it marched for the battle-field of Chickamauga, a distance of thirteen miles, and was engaged soon after its arrival. In that battle the regiment lost one officer and nine men killed, two officers and sixty-nine men wounded and forty men missing. The regiment bore its share in the arduous labors and privations of the siege of Chattanooga. and on the 25th of November participated in the brilliant assault of Mission Ridge, capturing a number of prisoners and some artillery. On the 28th of November the regiment, then belonging to the First Brigade, Third Division, Fourth Army Corps, marched with the corps to the relief of Burnside's troops at Knoxville, Tenn., arriving on the 8th of December.
On the 14th of January, 1864, the greater portion of the regiment having re-enlisted for another term of three years, it started for Columbus, Ohio, via Chattanooga, for veteran furlough. It arrived at Columbus with 350 veterans on the 10th of February, and on the 14th of March its members re-assembled at Camp Chase to return to the field, numbering, with recruits, more than 900 men. On returning to the
front the train conveying the regiment was thrown from the track near Charleston, Tenn., by which accident twenty men were more or less injured. In the, Atlanta campaign, which began the first week in May and terminated September 1, the Fifteenth Regiment, as part of the Fourth Army Corps, was an active participant. At Rocky Face Ridge, Resaca, Dallas, Kenesaw Mountain, Chattahoochie River and Atlanta the regiment won imperishable honors.
When Hood's rebel army began its march northward, the regiment formed a portion of the army under Gen. Thomas, which wag sent to thwart the plans of the enemy. It did not participate in the battle at Franklin, Tenn., but at Nashville the gallantry of its members was conspicuous. The pursuit of Hood's defeated army was continued into Northern Alabama, where the regiment remained until the middle of March, 1865, when it was ordered to move into East Tennessee. After performing the duties assigned it in that region, the regiment was ordered to Nashville, and reached the last-named point about the 1st of May. On the 16th of June it was ordered to proceed to Texas.
With a good degree of cheerfulness the men turned their backs once more upon their homes, went to Johnstonville and thence by boats to New Orleans. Moving down a short distance below the city they bivouacked on the old Jackson battle grounds until July 5, when they embarked for Texas. The regiment arrived at Indianola July 9, disembarked, and in order to obtain a sufficient supply of water marched the same night to Green Lake, a distance of about twenty miles. Remaining there just one month, on the 10th of August it marched for San Antonio, a distance of 150 miles. The scarcity of water, the extreme beat, the want of suitable rations, together with inadequate transportation, all combined, made this one of the most severe marches the regiment ever endured. It reached the Salado, a small stream near San Antonio, on the 21st of August, and remained at that point until October 20, when it was designated to perform post duty in the city, and continued to act in that capacity until November 21, when it was mustered out of service and ordered to Columbus, Ohio, for final discharge. The regiment left San Antonio on the 24th of November, and marched to Indianola, proceeding thence by way of Now Orleans and Cairo, to Columbus. Ohio, where it arrived December 25, and was finally discharged from the United States service December 27, 1865. Thus, as a regiment, the Fifteenth had been in service about four years and eight months. It was among the first to be mustered in and one of the last to be mustered out.

adrianlegg - Friday, February 01, 2013 - linkFor me it seemed obvious, but I'm constantly surprised, so I have to ask:
Is there any difference between on chassis usb.3.0/2.0 outputs?
Since it's all digital and backward compatible, isn't it just the marketing stuff, and if I would connect usb2.0 from chassis to 3.0 on mobo, it would work as 3.0? Reply
Kepe - Friday, February 01, 2013 - linkIt doesn't work that way. USB 3 cables have four more wires andcontacts than USB 2. So the USB 2 header on the front of your chassis doesn't have the necessary contacts to operate as a USB 3 port. Reply

lever_age - Friday, February 01, 2013 - linkStrangely enough, the Core 3000 USB 3.0 seems to be missing the cheap PCI-slot fan controller that was included on the original Core 3000. Or at least, they make no mention of it. All the key features other than USB 3.0, like top rotateable HDD drive cage, silicone grommets, 3 fans, etc., were available in the original. Reply

I'd love to see an update Core 1000 though. Reply

Even on my 10 year old cheap case the front USB ports have a nice little door flap. Looks like the human intelligence level is dropping every passing year. Reply

Gators play second fiddle to Eagles in Arlington

ARLINGTON, Texas — As the players from the Florida Gulf Coast team left the elevated court at Cowboys Stadium on Thursday, they were swarmed as if they were rock stars.
Who: No. 3 seed Florida Gators (28-7) vs. No. 15 seed Florida Gulf Coast Eagles (26-10)
When: 10:07 p.m.

Considering their short shelf life of popularity, think "The Monkees."
They walked down the stairs and headed for their locker rooms, and they were followed by cameras, mini-cams and sportswriters with such a fervor you'd have thought the players were dropping free drink cards out of their pockets.
Dunk City is the big story in a state where everything is bigger. Everyone wants an interview with the coach's wife, the former model. Everyone wants to have FGCU's gap-toothed coach Andy Enfield explain how he got her.
Florida hasn't been this much under-the-radar since Don DeVoe was the coach.
"We really aren't too concerned with that," said Florida guard Scottie Wilbekin. "The media always finds somebody to really get behind, but we can't worry about that. We have a game to play."
That game will have a lot of eyeballs on it, but not because of the team that has won eight NCAA games in the last three years and has one of college basketball's elite coaches. They'll be watching to see if a school that's younger than all of its players can keep it going.
Welcome to the Sweet 16 in Arlington, Texas.
Kansas has the fans.
Michigan has the star player in Trey Burke.
FGCU has the story.
In other news, Florida is here as well.
Maybe that's good for the Gators. I think Florida fans back home are tighter than a forehead with a Botox overdose. They can't stomach the idea of Florida losing to a 16-year-old school that nobody knew existed two years ago.
But for this team, which has been in Texas for nine days, FGCU is just the next team in their way.
"Both teams are playing for finality," UF coach Billy Donovan said.
Then there was this reaction from Patric Young when I asked him how it felt to be overshadowed.
"It's pretty much like that since I got to the University of Florida," he said. "We really haven't got credit for anything we've accomplished over these past few years so I'm used to it."
I think what Patric was talking about was that Florida was a classic bandwagon team this year. When it was going good, the national media was smooching the Gators. When it wasn't, the media dumped UF like a bad prom date.
At least I think that's what he was talking about.
Certainly, there is no question the Gators, who are favored to win tonight by 13 points, are the afterthoughts of this regional. The Gators are viewed as the big brothers trying to keep the little brother down.
"The pressure," Wilbekin said, "is being in the Sweet 16."
The difference between the two teams could be seen after their practices. The Eagles came off to hordes of autograph seekers and fans yelling, "Welcome to Dallas!" At one point, FGCU's Christophe Varidel escaped to the tunnel and said loudly, "This is madness!"
Florida? The Gators walked off quietly as if they were the Washington Generals. Donovan, he of 30 NCAA wins and two national titles, talked in a room with a handful of journalists. It was much more crowded when Enfield spoke. When he finished, the moderator told him he was done for the day and could leave the arena. Thirty minutes later, he and guard Sherwood Brown had been cornered by Craig Sager's jacket and were waiting under the lights for the light to go red.
Tonight, Florida is facing a stadium full of fans who want them to lose. The winner of the first game won't want to play Florida. Everybody else will be rooting for Cinderella.
"It'll be like a road game," Young said.
At least, at that point, someone will notice that Florida is here.

Does Poop Harm a Climbing Rope?
I get to the crag (a popular roadside dig in Boulder Canyon) and we drop the rope at the base of the warm-up route. Like good climbers we flake the rope to make sure it is running smoothly from end to end. I tie in and start climbing. When I am 50 feet up, my belayer yells, "There's some shit on the rope."
Shit. It is an ambiguous term. Shit, like dog shit? Shit like thistles or mud or sap? One way I care. The other I don't.
"What kind of shit?" I yell back.
"Human shit," he says and starts to dry heave.
"Take!" I scream.
Here's what happened. Some asshole took a big creamer right at the base of the route and covered it with a small rock. Our rope flipped the rock while we were flaking it. The rope then slithered through the pile while I was climbing. Since it is a route I know well, I was climbing fast. Before my partner realized it, about 30 feet of cord was covered in slop.
My question, Gear Guy, is: What the f?! Can you remind everyone how to build a proper poo poo platter? —Jesse Mattner, Boulder, Colorado
I appreciate the letter, Jesse, and, frankly, hope I never meet your friend and have to shake his hand. You can wash your own human cookie off, but getting someone else's on you stains you like the mark of Cain.
When my girls were little, my wife and I potty trained them by reading—every single night—the instructional book "Everyone Poops," by the Japanese author Mina Unchain. In Japan, shitting your own bed is dishonorable. Seppuku!
But, here in the Western World, 300 million of us rise from bed every morning, waddle to the head, sit on a sparkling white porcelain chair and drop our business into a bowl of purified drinking water, water that a poor Somali girl would love to have, saving her a dusty five-mile trudge to the crocodile-infested bog. Then, with the flick of a handle, our turds spiral clockwise out of sight to a place unknown, managed by persons unknown.
Having someone else dispose of our "night soil" has trained us to believe that we can crap anywhere and someone else will deal with it, just as you and your buddy did.
I digress. Here, in detail is the lowdown for taking what my wife fondly calls a "wild dump."
First, get way away from anywhere any person (or dog) might ever venture. Think dead center of a tick-infested nettle patch, the sort of spot only a penitent monk might seek. The base of the crag, anywhere within 100 feet of a trail or creek or lake are not kosher. Dig a hole at least six inches deep. Tree huggers say you should dig a shallower hole so the thermophilic bacteria in your fecal matter will have oxygen, heat up and kill pathogens, but I prefer to send my dregs straight to Satan's house.
Now you are ready to "meet the governor." After that, the wipe. If you have a girlfriend she will have toilet paper. If you are like everyone else, think corncob, Sears and Roebuck catalogue, mussel shell, newspaper or even a page from your precious guidebook.
Fill in the hole. As a final security measure, I cover my Unholy Grail with a heavy rock or dead log.
Another unfortunate consequence of Western "civilization" is that we wipe and eat with the same hand. In climbing, this means that we wipe, then pull up rope and put it in our mouths with the same hand.
You've seen the movie "Six Degrees of Separation?" This is one degree of separation from stink eye to mouth. Wash your hands!
Poop management is an ancient struggle and the failure to properly deal has caused more deaths than even the bowline. But, give a crap and you can take one with discipline and HONOR!
You should note that this advice is only for when you are caught unaware, such as after eating anything at the Golden Corral. On trips where letting it fly isn't a surprise, carry a stash of WagBags. These resealable plastic bags give you an instant toilet, wipe and hand cleaner, and have a chemical from NASA that makes your poop inert so you can throw the whole kit and kadookie in the trash when you get home, where it will go to a place unknown, managed by persons unknown.
One last bit of advice: If you meet someone wearing just one sock, do not shake his hand. Gear Guy has spoken!

Public health officials: General Relief Program providing more assistance than ever
EUREKA- The Department of Health and Human Services General Relief Program has been providing more assistance to its clients since it implemented a new system in 2008.
Officials with the Department of Health and Human Services say a multidisciplinary team, including staff from Mental Health, Public Health and Social Services has increased the General Relief Program's ability to help people with mental health concerns or physical health problems.
"Before the disciplinary team, individuals were left to their own accord to have to navigate the different components of the Department of Health and Human Services Public Health Branch, Mental Health Branch, and Social Services. The multidisciplinary team takes an approach where they can offer assistance in navigating those different components," said Gary Silver, the Program Manager for the DHHS General Relief Program.
After people are assessed for mental or physical health problems by a mental health clinician or a public health nurse, social workers assist them in their individualized case plans. The goal is to hopefully help them to get on an independent path.
"The multi disciplinary team takes an approach that addresses all the needs of any particular individual, be it, again, food, shelter, clothing, and then the barriers that are keeping them from being employable," Silver said.
The program is state mandated and county funded. Officials say if a person cannot reenter the workforce, the program is designed to get them access to the benefits they need.
Enrollment in the general relief program has declined since 2004.

The finalists and honorees of the CFDA awards are out, and it's a surprising list. Actually, that's not true: it's a totally predictable list, but it's also an instructive one. It both shows how meaningless it is to define an "American" designer in a world where Americans design for foreign houses, and foreigners show in America, and how, despite the fact that the fashion schedule gets ever-more crowded, there still seems an extraordinarily thin layer of internationally recognised talent. Which points up yet another truth: there is a major flaw in the time logic of the awards system itself.

More of the same: Bullpen implodes, star player HBP
D-backs allow seven runs in last two frames, Delgado drills McCutchen
PHOENIX -- Ejected early in the game after arguing a reviewed call, D-backs manager Kirk Gibson watched from the Chase Field clubhouse as Saturday's game against the Pirates took a turn that closely resembled Friday's loss -- in more ways than one.
For the second straight night, the D-backs' bullpen collapsed in the late innings, and for the second straight night, a star player was hit by a mid-90s fastball. Unlike Friday, the latter was the D-backs' doing, but the result was nearly the same -- an 8-3 loss.
Tensions ran high after All-Star first baseman Paul Goldschmidt was placed on the disabled list with fractured left hand caused by a pitch from Pirates reliever Ernesto Frieri on Friday.
After the Pirates broke a 1-1 game open in the eighth, the other domino fell. Reliever Randall Delgado hit Andrew McCutchen with a 95-mph fastball in the back in the ninth, and a furious McCutchen slammed his bat to the ground and took his base.
"I can deal with being hit by a pitch. That's the game. It happens," McCutchen said. "You hate for someone like their star player to go down like that -- and of course we didn't mean to do that, but we understand. Retaliation is going to happen in this game -- but there is a right way to do it."
The D-backs' clubhouse and players in it were quiet after losing their second straight game and their best hitter. Delgado, catcher Miguel Montero and Gibson all denied any possibility of the hit-by-pitch being a form of retaliation for Goldschmidt.
"[It] got away," Gibson said.
Added Montero: "Pitches middle, middle-away, [McCutchen has] been crushing it. And if the pitch is inside, he just kind of rolls it over. So we were starting to go in, and we got a base open. If we walk him, we walk him. I believe it got away from [Delgado]. He got him pretty good."
Delgado's fastball may or may not have gotten away from him, but the game definitely got away from the D-backs in the last two innings.
Brad Ziegler entered the game to start the eighth, and the usually reliable reliever ran into quick trouble on odd plays.
After Josh Harrison singled, rookie Gregory Polanco was awarded first base on catcher's interference against Montero. McCutchen followed with an RBI single that deflected off third baseman Andy Marte's glove, and the Pirates were back in the driver's seat.
The Pirates continued their rally when Russell Martin chopped a ball off the plate. The ball took too long coming down for Ziegler to get an out at home, and he rushed the throw to first, throwing it into the basepath. First baseman Jordan Pacheco couldn't handle the throw, and another run scored.
The four-run rally finally ended after Brent Morel doubled in another run, ending Ziegler's outing.
"I was getting ground balls, just not at guys," Ziegler said. "That's the way it goes sometimes."
Delgado came in to pitch the ninth, and the Pirates continued to pile on. Delgado hitting McCutchen loaded the bases. Eury De La Rosa replaced him when home-plate umpire Ron Kulpa ejected Delgado, and De La Rosa let in three more runs on a pair of singles.
"You still have to stop and cut it off," Gibson said. "I think we've given up 15 runs in the eighth and ninth inning in the last two nights. They're a good ballclub, and you just can't allow them to do that."
The D-backs certainly had chances of their own. Starter Chase Anderson delivered his fourth straight quality start and held the Pirates to one run through six innings, but the offense didn't give him support. David Peralta delivered an RBI single while Anderson was in the game, then hit a two-run home run in the ninth.
The D-backs had a pair of runners in scoring position in the seventh inning, putting them in prime position to take the lead, but the offense couldn't bring anyone around.
"The seventh inning kind of set the stage," Gibson said. "We had a golden opportunity to score some runs."

Q. Can you color stainless steel? If so, how? N.L.
A. Yes, you can color stainless steel, but it is not a process that is typically performed in a plating shop. The basic process, which was developed by Inco (International Nickel) in the 1970s, is to immerse the stainless steel in a chromic and sulfuric acid solution at a temperature just below the boiling point of the solution. A thin layer of chrome oxide forms on the stainless steel, and by controlling the thickness of the oxide layer you can obtain colors that vary from bronze to blue, gold, purple and green. After treatment in this solution, the stainless steel is rinsed and given a cathodic treatment to harden the oxide layer. The layer can vary from 0.02 µm to 0.36 µm; the thicker the layer the darker the color. Most commonly, 304 grade stainless steel is used. The coating is reasonably robust but will scratch.
I am aware of one company that produces colored stainless steel, and you should be able to find others as well. Search the PFOnline.com database using the term "coloring stainless steel" to find an article about another recently developed process.
Some artists use a lacquer-based process for coloring stainless steel which is good for decorative purposes but will not stand up to heavy use.

ADNAN OKTAR: If there is an act of oppression, we are all against it; no one wants it. I don't want any Kurd to be harmed. They are the best, most perfect people of the world just like the rest of the people of Anatolia. They envy the religiousness of my dear Kurdish brothers and sisters. They use communist propaganda methods in order to turn them into irreligious people. They want religion, faith and sacred beliefs to be eradicated from the region. This is because it used to be the most religious region; they think that they can do the exact opposite in the Southeast and close the case. This will never happen, insha'Allah.
A9 TV: August 6th, 2012
ADNAN OKTAR: Our Kurdish brothers are very noble, decent and respectful people. They have suffered a lot. A very beautiful world is waiting for them, insha'Allah. They will live completely free on a vast and very beautiful land, insha'Allah. May Allah protect them from any mischief brought about by the dajjal. May He protect them from the evil of irreligiousness and lack of faith. May Allah grant them the opportunity to live in that beautiful region with love of Allah and the Prophet, as free people with joy and happiness. Our mothers and sisters there are very religious and valuable people. Our Kurdish brothers are perfect people; it is our responsibility to protect and maintain their safety and well-being of life and property. May Allah increase our efforts to help them live in peace.
A9 TV: January 6th, 2013
Adnan Oktar: We will never surrender the Southeast. We will not surrender our brothers into the hands of communists. The people of the Southeast are religious, decent and honest people. What would become of them in the hands of Marxist, Leninist, Stalinist communists? May Allah forbid. They would perish. We cannot ever let it happen. But it would not be normal to be defeated in this war of wills. We will continuously say, "No" in a decisive manner. "Go away." "We won't allow it." This is what we will say.
IĞDIR TV: August 28th, 2008
Adnan Oktar: FIRST OF ALL, THE SOUTHEAST REGION IS COMPOSED OF VERY RELIGIOUS, DECENT AND REASONABLE PEOPLE. This has angered atheistic Masons. What can we do? How can we take religion away from the people of the Southeast? How can we make them irreligious? How can we eradicate their faithfulness? Because all the scholars and all religious people have generally emerged from the Southeast region. Said Nursi is my guide and my master; he is Kurdish. He is of Kurdish origins and he emerged from the Southeast. I think that atheistic Masons thought of this as a danger. THEY ESTABLISHED THE PKK TERROR ORGANIZATION TO DEPRIVE THE KURDISH PEOPLE OF THEIR RELIGION, MORALITY AND SACRED BELIEFS AND THEY TRIED TO FORCE THIS STRANGE THOUGHT ON THEM USING VIOLENCE. THEY TRIED TO PERSUADE THEM: THEY FORCED THIS ON THEM IN A WAY. BUT THE KURDS ARE BRAVE PEOPLE. THEY WOULD NOT GIVE IT UP EVER. Thanks to Allah. They resist forcefully; they still resist them, even though there is great pressure. Despite great pressure from foreign countries, thanks to Allah, they are determined in their faith.

Table Mountain confirmed as one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature
Table Mountain's inauguration as one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature is a worthy recognition of this symbol that we all own and cherish. - Cape Town executive mayor, Patricia de Lille
Table Mountain was officially inducted into an elite group of world
famous geographical sites, the New 7 Wonders of Nature, at a ceremony held in
Cape Town this past Sunday.
The 1 086m-high, flat-topped mountain was voted into the group a year ago in a worldwide poll and is the 5th of the sites to have its inclusion in the prestigious selection confirmed. It joins Vietnam's Halong Bay, the Iguazu Falls on the border of Argentina and Brazil, South Korea's Jeju Island and Puerto Princesa Underground River in the Philippines. Still to be inaugurated are Komodo Island in Indonesia and the Amazon in South America.
The New7Wonders Foundation in Switzerland set out through global voting campaigns to draw attention to spectacular man-made and natural sites across the globe. The campaigns were intended to highlight the world's shared heritage and create a global memory.
Yesterday at the foot of the mountain, executive mayor of Cape Town, Patricia de Lille, unveiled a plaque denoting Table Mountain's new status. This is expected to boost the number of visitors to the site and increase its socioeconomic benefits to the city.
'Table Mountain's inauguration as one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature is a worthy recognition of this symbol that we all own and cherish,' said De Lille. 'While it defines our city, it is much greater than it. It is a natural heritage that belongs to all South Africans and, we believe, the world.'
Bernard Weber, founder-president of the New7Wonders Foundation, stated: 'Table Mountain is not only a spectacular backdrop for Cape Town, one of the most beautiful cities in the world, it also offer visitors the unique experience to actually walk on top of the mountain and enjoy the most awesome panoramic views.'

The 2011 European Tour Is Here
The 2011 European Tour Is Here
| Posted by LA Phil on Tour in Los Angeles
After months of preparation, rehearsals and logistical planning, the LA Phil finally hits the road today for its seven city, 13-concert tour of Europe today!
The orchestra's initial stop is Lisbon, Portugal where they'll play two concerts at Gulbenkian Hall, the first of which will be a program of works by John Adams, Leonard Bernstein and Ludwig van Beethoven. From there it's on to Madrid, followed by Cologne (where the orchestra will help Music Director Gustavo Dudamel celebrate his 30th birthday!), London, Budapest and finally Vienna.
As fate would have it, just as the orchestra is ramping up to get out on tour and present the above program, the LA Phil, with Deutsche Grammophon, has just today released a recording of that very program on iTunes! You can download it here.
So, as you can see, we've got a lot going on, and we're looking forward to bringing you news from the road in Europe, including posts from orchestra members and LA Phil staff, and even maybe a couple of surprises. Stay tuned, and in the meantime, here are some shots of what's gone into getting ready for the tour so far.

Mean Betty: Casey Anthony Mask Sells for A Million Dollars on eBay
How charming. So many ways to profit off the death of an innocent child!
-Mean Betty
Darlings, Mean Betty's tummy hurts and it's not from that third martooni last night. Have you heard about this? A hideously life-like mask of Casey Anthony's face has sold on eBay for approximately one million US dollars.
Casey Anthony mask.
That might take a moment to sink in, you poor dear. Mean Betty will wait.
Sort of amazingly mind-boggling, non?
The Daily Mail reports that the auction for the Casey Anthony mask was being conducted by a Los Angeles-based seller named prophunter.
"Prophunter" wrote: "Forget Freddy, Jason, Meyers, here's your chance to scare the *#&% out of everyone and win every costume contest with this amazing Tot Mom latex rubber mask, possibly the most frightening mask on the planet.
"I can almost guarantee it's the 'only' Casey mask on the planet. Sculpted to precision for a parody video by enigmatic pop artist / sculptor Torro, only nine of these film props were made for production and I got my hands on a few after the video wrapped.
"This one is in excellent condition and it is numbered six of nine. I kept one for myself because I know these will be priceless. A significant piece of crime history."
Someone certainly seems to agree with him — in fact, to get the bidding up that high, more than one person had to agree. Which means, horrifically, that there are AT LEAST TWO PEOPLE on the planet who want a Casey Anthony mask. And that, darlings, is two people too many.
Meanwhile, TMZ is reporting that Casey celebrated her release from prison by swilling beer aboard a private jet. They claim to have seen video footage of this charming event, as describe it thus:
Casey is smiling as she deplanes. Her former lawyer, Todd Macaluso, is also on board. At one point Casey is heard saying, "I concur" — a little legalese she probably picked up from her legal team.
Laughter erupts as someone screams, "De Plane, De Plane."
The video is being shopped around by Casey's people, along with anything else that isn't nailed down.
Kittens, is it just Mean Betty, or does the world seem like a particularly gross today?

We're taking a first step with the Brentwood Branch Library renovation project! And you can be part of it.
A house at 1911 E. Wayland Drive that the Library District bought to make way for the project must come down, so we're going to "reduce, reuse and recycle" as much of it as possible with the help of Habitat for Humanity and the Ozarks Green Building Coalition.
This is a first-ever partnership between the two organizations and the Springfield-Greene County Library District.
Habitat for Humanity has lined up volunteers to deconstruct the three-bedroom house in two stages -- interior, and then exterior. After each stage, the reclaimed items will be sold in a yard sale open to the public on April 27 and at a future date in May on the Wayland property lawn. Ozarks Green Building Coalition and Habitat for Humanity will split the sales proceeds, and the Library will pay for the hauling out of any non-recyclable landfill material.
The yard sales will be a do-it-yourselfers dream. The sale dates are:
Additional items such as electrical wiring, duct work and shingles will be recycled but will not be included in the sale.
We can accomplish so much with this one project: The all-volunteer labor will save taxpayers in demolition costs, the two organizations will share sales proceeds to further their community projects, we'll minimize what goes into the landfill while reusing and recycling valuable resources, and the recycling effort could also strengthen the Library's application if it decides to pursue LEED building certifiation in the Brentwood renovation.
The Library acquired the property adjacent to the Brentwood Branch in August 2012, and is pursuing rezoning of the property for government use. The property will be used for staff parking to free up public parking at the main entrance, and for a neighborhood buffer. The Library Foundation will manage a capital campaign for the estimated $2.1 million renovation.
We're excited to take this first step with these two community organizations and you, our patrons, and we'll be eager to share the architects' concepts for the renewed Brentwood Branch.

Oct 16: PIJIP Event on Intellectual Property, Trade and Development
October 16, 2012 | 9:00am - 2:00pm
Sixth Floor Student Lounges
A webcast will be available on this page the day following the event.
Walter Park
Jerome Reichman
Michael Ryan
David Langdon
Joe Damond
Burcu Kilic
Rashmi Rangnath
Oona Hathaway
Rochelle Dreyfuss
PIJIP and Public Citizen will co-host a multidisciplinary event that will bring together academics, civil society, and policy makers to 1) examine how intellectual property affects economic growth in countries at different levels of development, and 2) analyze the way the United States ratifies trade agreements through Executive Agreements.
United States trade policy aims to increase levels of intellectual property protection abroad beyond the level required by current international law codified in the WTO's Agreement on Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights. Trade agreements such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) require the extension of intellectual property protection to new types of products, processes and works, as well as increased enforcement of the new obligations. Policymakers have argued that stronger intellectual property protection will help economies grow, through increased foreign investment and the encouragement of domestic innovation. Academic research often finds a more complicated relationship between intellectual property on the one hand, and foreign investment, innovation and growth on the other – a relationship that can differ from nation to nation.
Our first panel will include professors of economics, law and business, each of whom have written on linkages between intellectual property and other determinants of growth. Our second panel will include one of the authors of the recent and often cited Department of Commerce report Intellectual Property and the U.S. Economy: Industries in Focus, a representative from the biotechnology industry, and two panelists from consumer oriented nonprofits that have each been involved in the TPP negotiations.
At lunch, Yale Law Professor Oona Hathaway will present her critique of the way trade agreements are implemented in the U.S. via Executive Agreements, and her proposal to create a more balanced, democratic, and effective system for international lawmaking in the United States. Her talk will be followed by a response from NYU Law Professor Rochelle Dreyfuss.

Topic: My doctor doesn't think current chemo is working
We met with the oncologist this week to see what the next game plan is going to be. I finished steriotactic radiation two weeks ago but it is too soon to tell if it worked. Prior to radiation I had three months of Cisplatin and 5FU. He said the chemo regimen didn't appear to be doing anything to the tumors so he suggested that we stay off chemo until I have a CAT scan on October 5th. I am really nervous about doing nothing to fight this disease till then. He said my body has been though a lot and this would be a good healing time. He said in October if there is new tumor growth then I would probably enter a clinical trial that uses biological agents or try a different chemo combo. Isn't it strange that as much as we don't want chemo...we do want it!

"Keep in mind when ordering these that not everyone you invite will attend- we ended up with a couple dozen left over! We did put some of the extras to use, though, by cutting off the flowers in the corner and using them to decorate other things."
"I love this design and every time I order another piece of stationary for our big day, I fall in love with the design all over again."
"These are beautiful and coordinate perfectly with the other programs and menu cards in this line. We're using this for our nautical wedding. I should have paid more attention to the dimensions listed in the description, these are really small. We'll probably still use them but I would have preferred something with more room for the first and last names."
"Really love these place cards - they are nicely oversized and leave plenty of room to print. I am using them with wine corks as the holder and cutting off the back side that is used to make them stand alone."
"We are getting married in Sonoma County surrounded by vineyards. I looked all over to find something that fit with our location. I am glad I found this - they are very nice, and good quality!"

Xochitl (Kusikuy) Guzman
Create Awake
San Francisco, CA
NFTE Class of 1998
Before taking NFTE, Xochitl had no clear direction towards her life goals. "I was sixteen years old and thought the best thing to do was work for others and get a good job. I knew there was another way in which I could express my creative abilities. NFTE nurtured my gifts and allowed me to see that I could excel at using my creative mind for business. After NFTE, I realized that one way to have personal power and contribute to my community was to have my own business by doing what I loved." Xochitl realized that being an entrepreneur is a way of life, a way to look at the world. She can now see opportunities everywhere to create abundance from projects that she enjoys and helps the community.
While enrolled in the class, Xochitl did not have much support from her family and therefore, NFTE was an invaluable support to her development as a young woman. Besides teaching her business and entrepreneurial skills, she was given tremendous self-esteem and confidence in herself and her abilities to create a life of her dreams.
For the past four years, Xochitl has lived in all different parts of the world. She has been traveling through India and Thailand for the past three months learning to produce her jewelry there. She will be completing her first book by the end of the year and already has a publishing company. Also, she has been giving workshops for the past six years to empower women.
NFTE has been one of the most important programs in her development and she says the most important thing she learned from NFTE was to think out of the box and at the same time to learn the rules of business to use for her own benefit. Xochitl passes this advice on to future entrepreneurs: "Be a powerful creator of the life you love and one way to do that is by being an entrepreneur. If being an entrepreneur is a path you want to take, be humble, ask for help, learn from the people who are already doing what you want to do and always have a higher purpose to be of service to your community."

For Ian Thorpe, his autobiography This Is Me has been a means to give voice to his opinions, feelings and memories on a variety of the issues that have been talking points throughout his career.
It has also allowed him to finally reveal his fight with depression. "I felt too embarrassed to discuss this," he admits. "It's the first time in my life where I'm in a place where I'm comfortable to talk about it."
The book is also serving as a quick catch up for his parents who for reasons of geography have missed out on witnessing a lot of the chapters of his career first hand. "I think my parents are frantically reading through it at the moment," Thorpe said.
"They know probably 80 per cent of what's in this book. I have a really close relationship with my family, it's just I don't see them that often. I haven't for a lot of my life. I've lived out of a suitcase from when I was 14."
Thorpe admits he was more likely to try and talk to his dogs over the phone than his family. "I'm not one that picks up the phone and has a chat for hours on end about everything that's going on because I can catch up on that when I see them."
The process of writing the book has helped him realise an answer he should have given to one question that has followed him for years. "I could say I'm in a relationship couldn't I. I'm in a relationship with the water," he joked.
"I'm very creepy, I like water. We separated for a while but now we're back together."

Mean Betty: Rejoice! 'Dirty Dancing' Will NOT Be Remade Again!
Kick up your heels Bettys! There won't be an awful remake of the classic 'Dirty Dancing!'
-Mean Betty
Isn't Hollywood cute these days, always going on about "reboots" instead of "remakes?"… Actually, no. It's not cute at all. And kittens, when Mean Betty heard that the classic Jennifer Grey/Patrick Swayze flick Dirty Dancing was most certainly NOT on the "reboot" list, Meanie demanded a fresh margarita from the butler and danced with the pool boy. Hurrah!
Why was Meanie so gleeful over the prospect of not seeing a new version of Dirty Dancing? Well, Bettys, does anyone remember the reboot of Footloose? Ugh! One can only imagine what they would have done to DD. True, the original choreographer, Emilio Ortega was going to direct and choreograph the remake and writer Brad Falchuk, who's written for Glee, was on tap to write the script; those two could possibly have made it work. But Lea Michele, Trespass' Liana Liberto, and Canadian singer Nikki Yanofsky all screen tested for the role of Baby, which did NOT have Meanie dancing in the aisles. Lea has spent so long turning herself into a glamour puss that it would difficult for any audience to think of her as plain. Moreover, there have been so many rumors of Lea's "diva" act on set that Meanie questions whether Lea's ego could really handle being considered a "plain gal" in the movie.
And Bettys, don't forget that this wouldn't be the second time Dirty Dancing was remade. Yes lambkins, this would actually be DD3! Back in 2004, some genius came up with the idea for Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights. Do you remember that movie? No. And neither did Meanie, for that matter; the butler had to Google it for her.
But Bettys, although none of us can remember Havana Nights, critics took notice – and not in a good way. IIt got some horrific reviews. Pop Matters said, "It's hardly ever a good idea to remake a beloved movie." Film Jerk stated, "It's been 17 years since Dirty Dancing took the world by storm, and all these years later, Havana Nights is here to remind everyone just how to strike when the iron is ice cold. Labored and reliant on historical context nobody asked for, the Dancing magic is gone, and your money would be much better spent just renting the original film."
Read Mean Betty: Guess What? Octomom Is a Stripper Now
Could it be that the producers of DD3 started getting cold feet about the reboot when they thought that future reviews could possibly be as bad as the ones for Havana Nights? The official statement was that they were having casting issues. Nice save, guys!
Considering the failures of other recent remakes – Fun With Dick and Jane, Foot Loose, Conan the Barbarian, Straw Dogs… oh, the list goes on and on – perhaps DD3's producers suddenly saw the light. Did anyone bother to see any of those movies? Judging by their seriously poor box office performance, Meanie thinks not!
Hollywood, darlings? Wouldn't it be more productive and interesting if you used your brains to come up with new, original ideas, rather than digging up old movies that should just be left alone? If you're stumped for ideas, call Meanie – she's sure she can dream up a few!

"I am very pleased with this lovely card. It is very professional looking and elegant. The quality of the print and the card stock are outstanding. I was pleased with the color options for the front and the back of the card."
"I ordered these invitations for my sister in law to be. They truly are gorgeous. Love the polka dots on the back. Wedding paper divas had them to us in under a week. Great product as always!"
"High quality, thick stock, very expensive-looking. We ordered the sea glass background with pearl sheen and it has exceeded our expectations. I have never had such good customer service on my inquiry to have some blank ones too, for menus at each place setting, Can't recommend this product and this company enough!"
"Did the color in navy. Changed the script to a different font. Design service was awesome as had a concern about a font I had originally picked for the registry line..they gave me 2 proofs and did great job. Would totally recommend this site!! Responded quickly!"
"So pleased with customer service, timely delivery, and product! Thank you! Cards were beautiful and I will be using you again and will recommend! The only thing that caught me by surprise was the size of the second order, the thank you cards were smaller than I had thought. But the invites were exquisite."

2002 Honda Odyssey Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2002 Honda Odyssey based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
A brake pedal that pulsates under the foot while braking the vehicle has been noted by many owners of the Honda Odyssey. This issue spans many years, and multiple generations of the well-known minivan, and Honda has taken measures to correct concerns.
The front brake rotors are the cause of the break pulsation, and are subject to a condition known as lateral run-out, or simply called warped brake rotors.
As the brakes are used, heat builds quickly in the brake rotors and brake pads, as a normal byproduct of friction. This heat can become too great for the original rotors, and cause the metal to warp over time.
Once the rotor begins to warp, the warping process accelerates due to uneven heating of the brake rotor, and the issue will quickly turn from light pulsing of the pedal to full-vehicle vibration.
Revised brake rotors have been released by Honda, and will correct the concern. The brake pads will need to be changed at the same time.
Note: this error has been known as early as 20,000 miles.
There have been some issues reported with the electric sliding doors. Our technicians remind us that proper diagnoses will be necessary to determine the cause of various faults which may occur.
A rear engine mount that is broken can cause an engine vibration felt in the vehicle. Replacing the failed mount will repair this problem.
The Honda Odyssey may develop issues with the automatic transmission.
Rough shifting may occur, and the "D4" light and check engine may begin to blink. The check engine light will also illuminate, and OBD trouble codes P0700, P0730, P0740, P0780, P1768 and/or P1768 will be stored in the computer.
If the transmission shifts roughly, the failure is very likely mechanical failure of the transmission. If the transmission performs normally, a faulty sensor, or dirty transmission fluid may be the case.
In most cases, it is necessary to use professional diagnostic equipment to provide a diagnosis, and complete the repair.
The longevity of the transmission is dependent on strict adherence to the manufacturer's recommendation for ATF replacement intervals and procedure.
Rear vent windows not operating properly is a common problem with Honda Odesseys. The solution is to replace the window motors.
The 1999-2016 Honda Odyssey may have problems with the EVAP canister vent solenoid. It stops responding to commands to open and close, and the following occurs:
The valve is located on the charcoal canister, and is meant to open and close upon command. It fails due to corrosion breaking one of two internal seals, which allows air to escape the system, signaling the OBD trouble code P1457.
Correcting the problem can be done by replacing the vent valve, or, in some cases, cleaning and resealing the vent valve has been successful. You can get an estimate for this repair here.
A worn, missing, or loose gas cap can cause the same issues.
The exhaust recirculation valve (EGR) on the 1999-2016 Honda Odyssey V6 may fail, causing:
The EGR valve has open and closed positions, and opens or closes on command from the computer.
Exhaust gases constantly pass through the valve when it is open, leaving carbon deposits on the valve. These carbon deposits may lead the the valve sticking in the open or closed position.
To correct this issue, sometimes it is sufficient to clean the valve, but replacement is recommended in all cases.
For further information on your vehicle's issue, try out our diagnostics tool here.
The Honda Odyssey may have issues with the idle air control system, causing:
- Erratic/bouncing idle
- Poor fuel mileage
- Illumination of the check engine light
- OBD trouble code P0505
- Engine stalling is possible
The idle air bypass system is made up of vacuum lines, an idle air control valve (IACV), the throttle body, and intake manifold, and allows enough air into the engine to idle when the throttle body is closed. The OBD trouble code P0505 refers to this system to inspect for failures.
The most likely cause is a dirty or failed IACV, but vacuum lines, intake manifold gasket, throttle body gasket, and IACV gasket should be inspected.
In all cases involving the IACV, the throttle body ports should be cleaned prior to installing the IACV onto the throttle body.
Third row seat latch cables can come loose from the handle and can prevent the seat from unlatching. Reinstalling the cables and retaining them with clips should correct this issue.
A knock or clunk type noise may be noted from the front suspension over bumps. This is can caused by worm stabilizer (sway) bar links. Replacing both stabilizer bar links will commonly repair this issue.
Manual sliding doors will stick or not open easily due to the door seal sealing too well. Sometimes this can cause the door handle to break when trying to open the door. Replacing the door seal with an updated seal from Honda will repair this issue.
There have been reports of various transmission problems with this model.
The clock light has a tendency to burn out.
The engine may develop and oil leak due to a porous engine block casting. The repair procedure is dependent on where the leak is located. Honda has released a service bulletin covering model years 1999-2003. Honda may offer assistance with repairs, determined on a case by case basis.
On certain models the rear brakes can groan when coming to a stop. Replacing the rear brake drums may be necessary to correct this issue.

Director Ramsubramaniam believes that a delay in the release of a film won't affect its Box Office prospect because a good film will always be received well by the audience. His Tamil drama Thanga Meengal is finally coming on Friday after months of delay.
"There is no good or bad time to release a film because if it's good, then the audience will make it successful with word of mouth. One need not worry about the Box Office prospects of a film just because it got delayed," Ram told IANS.
"A bad film will most likely not click regardless of its time of release. I have made a good film and I'm sure audiences will love it. I don't have to go out of my way to promote it and unnecessarily raise hopes of the audience," he added.
Thanga Meengal, which also features Ram in the lead role, is about father-daughter relationship and also touches upon importance of primary school education.
At a private screening recently, it got thumbs up from the industry members. After watching the film, director Venkat Prabhu said, "Thanga Meengal is a heart-warming movie. I watched it with my daughter! Both of us loved it! Awesome performances from everyone! Don't miss it".
National Award winning director Balaji Sakthivel said, "Ram and the child artist Sadhana were brilliant in their performances. I wish the film wins a National Award." Click here to see more photos of Thanga Meengal...
Thanga Meengal is produced by filmmaker Gautham Vasudev Menon along with Reshma Ghatala and Venkat Somasundaram. Shelly Kishore, Padmapriya and Rohini will also be seen in important roles in the film.
