Car Problem Reports
Honda Pilot Water Leak Due to Poor Seal at Side Marker Wire Harness
Honda Pilot Problem
Model Years Affected: 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012
Average Mileage: 81,574 mi (10,000 mi - 164,000 mi)
Visitor, 2005 Honda Pilot
Same problem. Water on both drivers side and passenger side. So I tore it all apart and this is what I found. When you remove the outer plastic wheel well piece and the mud flaps you see the factory did not seal the seams in the wheel wells where they force the run off water. All of the water is basically channeled down the seam which allows water to flow into a cavity in that corner. When that cavity is full, it flows into the interior and onto the floorboards. I cleaned out the seams as best as possible and sealed them with strip caulk. I then took the Pilot out for a drive in the pacific Nw where it is currently raining. No surprise there. Anyways,if you have questions on how to fix, send me an email..I have pics to show what I did. firstname.lastname@example.com
Visitor, 2005 Honda Pilot, 72,000 mi
water leak started on pas. side..now driver's side too.
Visitor, 2008 Honda Pilot, 29,800 mi
After the first day of heavy rain on 9/5 I found water pooling on the driver side floor. I checked doors, windows, moon roof etc to see if everything was closed properly. Upon 2 more days of heavy rain, I found pooling in both driver & passenger side front floor & took it to the agent in Rockville MD. They have had the car for 4 days & have pulled out panels, wipers, fareings etc but have not found a cause. Also with the water pooling the engine check light came on & the park break light is also on although the break has not been enguaged. A warning is issued when driving & this goes off when manually doors are locked. Agent has not yet diagnosed this issue as well.
Visitor, 2006 Honda Pilot, 68,000 mi
I have water pooling on passenger side floor. Have checked under mat, wheel well drain, no sunroof. I believe its the I beam seal or wire harness holes behind front quarter panel. Wondering why no recall from honda with so many people with same problem?
Visitor, 2003 Honda Pilot, 100,000 mi
Water on passenger side floorboard, then drivers side as well. Going to try to seal those seams under the wheel well.
Visitor, 2004 Honda Pilot, 96,000 mi
Noticed wet carpet on passenger side. Second incident. Had downpour of rain yesterday. My car was involved in an accident a few months ago and was hit on the front passenger side. Wonder if this could have caused leak.
Visitor, 2007 Honda Pilot, 10,000 mi
My passenger front side started getting leak from the bottom of the carpet, I really can't figure out where the water is coming from, I remove the carpets, cables. left panel, windshields, inside the tire also. I placed my hand underneath of the glove box and the water comes from the car metal near the box cable. I took my car to this Honda dealer we have in Colorado Springs and the Manager said that they have never heard that any Honda Pilot has this problem. I told him to Google it and that I am not B...ing and he said that my car is old and things just wear out when is old. WTF? He said bring the car but it will cost you. I am so disappointed with Honda, they know this problem is happening and they don't do anything for their customers.
Visitor, 2003 Honda Pilot

On an August evening, 300 winegrowers packed into a town hall 30 minutes' drive east of downtown Bordeaux, hoping to find a way to stave off economic ruin. Outside was devastation: Three days earlier, almost 30,000 acres of vines in the Entre-Deux-Mers, St.-Emilion and Castillon wine regions had been damaged in a hailstorm that lasted minutes.

text: religious freedom Bishops encourage churches to offer "drive-thru" Ash Wednesday By Kate Wells • Feb 18, 2015 User VanZandt / Flickr Before you roll your eyes and grumble about what society is coming to, just hear these churches out for a second. "It was painful to hear that so many people weren't getting ashes until the evening," says Reverend June Marshall-Smith of Novi United Methodist. She says growing up, she always got ashes in the morning, "to remind me all day how my faith is guiding me during the Lenten season." "[But now] churches had gone to only evening services and no longer morning services. So I was providing a morning service, but people who were not members of my congregation were not coming to that. Religious freedom bill introduced again in new Legislature By Jake Neher • Jan 23, 2015 Matthileo / Flickr A group of Republican state lawmakers will try again to protect religious practices against state and local government interference. The Michigan Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) failed to pass before the legislative session ended last year. State Sen. Mike Shirkey, R-Clarklake, introduced the bill again this week. "It's simply all about protecting and preserving the rights that the Constitution provides for all citizens – not just select groups of citizens," he said. Prospects for "religious freedom" bill dim as protesters rally By Rick Pluta • Dec 16, 2014 user aunt owwee / Flickr A couple hundred people showed up outside the state Capitol to protest House Bill 5958, which would create a Michigan Religious Freedom Restoration Act. "Five-nine-five-eight is a license to discriminate!" the group chanted on a march around the Capitol and through downtown Lansing. Bob Pratt of East Lansing was one of the protesters. He says it's aimed at enabling discrimination against LGBT people. "There's no reason for a bill like this. And to then call it the religious freedom bill when it really is a license to discriminate," he said. "It's the freedom to discriminate against people that you don't like and then hide behind religion for it." Supporters of Michigan religious freedom bill push back against critics By Jake Neher • Dec 15, 2014 Thetoad / Flickr Supporters of a religious freedom bill in the state Legislature are pushing back against recent criticism. The legislation is meant to protect religious practices against state and local government interference. Detroit's bankruptcy exodus, religious freedom bill confusion, and a fragrant renewable energy bill By Emily Fox & Jack Lessenberry • Dec 10, 2014 Courtesy photo / Holland BPW This week, Jack Lessenberry and Emily Fox discuss Detroit's pending bankruptcy exit, confusion over the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, and a Senate bill that would count the burning of tires, used oil and other waste products as renewable energy. Listen Listening... / 4:12 Listen to Jack and Emily discuss this week's top stories in Michigan. A little revenge politics at the state House By Zoe Clark & Rick Pluta • Dec 5, 2014 Listen Listening... / 5:00 It's Just Politics with Zoe Clark and Rick Pluta, December 5th, 2014 The state House passed the Michigan Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) yesterday and it's fair to say it was a little dose of Republican Speaker Jase Bolger's "here's-how-bad-it-can-get-if-you-don't-play-along." The RFRA was supposed to move in tandem with a measure that would add protections based on sexual orientation to the state's civil rights law. That was a version that Bolger said he would accept, as long as there was a separate bill that would provide some cover for people who have religious objections to gay rights. But LGBT advocates said there also should be explicit protections for transgender people. Bolger said he wouldn't support that. So, Bolger got the RFRA passed last night, without moving on the LGBT protections, showing the LGBT community just what can happen when you cross him. Arab American festival in Dearborn canceled once again By Mark Brush • Apr 30, 2014 The Arab American News.com The festival has been canceled for the second year in a row due to higher liability insurance costs for festival organizers. The three-day festival in Dearborn celebrated Arab culture and was one the largest gatherings of Arab Americans in the U.S., but it also attracted anti-Islamic protestors and Christian missionaries from around the country. Niraj Warikoo reports for the Detroit Free Press: Tensions at the festival broke out in 2010 when a group of Christian missionaries arrived with video cameras to record their attempts to debate Muslims. Some were arrested for disturbing the peace, though later acquitted of most charges. Their arrests drew outrage from conservatives across the U.S. Another Christian group filed a lawsuit against the city, saying the missionaries were restricted in where they could distribute their literature. In 2012, a separate group of Christians brought a pig's head mounted on a pole with anti-Islam signs, resulting in some youth hurling bottles at them. Warikoo reports that Dearborn was forced to pay $300,000 to the Christian missionaries arrested in 2010. The Arab-American Chamber of Commerce says they're still looking for ways to move forward with the festival. Companies can't use religion as grounds to avoid contraception coverage By Lindsey Smith • Oct 24, 2013 IaIvanova / Creative Commons A federal appeals court ruled against a southeastern Michigan natural foods company that claims it should be exempt from the contraception provision in the federal health care law. The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals issued its opinion today. The Affordable Care Act requires employers to provide workers with insurance that covers contraception. Bill protecting Michigan worship services from disruption nears approval By Michigan Radio Newsroom • Jun 22, 2012 gophouse.com Those who disrupt religious services in Michigan could soon face much harsher penalties. A bill sponsored by state Rep. Deb Shaughnessy, R-Charlotte, intended to prevent disruptions during worship events, cleared the state Senate last week. From the Associated Press: The fine for disorderly conduct at a religious service could go as high as $1,000, which is more than the maximum fine for many misdemeanors. A second offense could cost as much as $5,000. A judge could also order at least 100 days of community service. According to a press release from Shaughnessy's office, the legislation was inspired by a 2008 protest at the Mount Hope Church in Delta Township. As part of the protest, members of a gay-rights anarchist group interrupted a service at the megachurch by throwing flyers, pulling fire alarms and shouting slogans. The press release quotes Rep. Shaughnessy: "The right of Michigan residents to gather and worship is not only guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, it is a right that must be respected by those with other beliefs...Nobody should fear disruption of their worship services by political opponents, and this legislation should shield them from such chaos." The bill is now on Gov. Rick Snyder's desk awaiting approval. -John Klein Wilson, Michigan Radio Newsroom Religious freedom vs Academic accreditation By Steve Carmody • Mar 7, 2012 (courtesy of the Alliance Defense Fund) State lawmakers heard testimony today on legislation that would protect college students whose religious beliefs conflict with their university's curriculum. There are concerns the bill might cause problems for university accreditation.

Replacing Window Screens - something to address?
I'd like your opinion. We just moved into a new place. I noticed today that all the screens on our windows (6 of them) do not fit. They lean in on the glass letting enough space for bugs to crawl in. Basically they're too short to fit in the casing appropriately. Therefore, I can't open any windows to let in any fresh air (was hoping to do that this fall for nice cool weather and saving on A/C bills). It's very obvious that all of these existing screens are replacements and not what originally came with the windows whenever they were installed (the place was built than 2 years ago) - all the screens are white and our windows are actually tan. It's like the landlord just did a half-a$$ed job. Our neighbors (in a unit just like ours) have original screens...
If you were me, would you request appropriate replacement screens for these windows? Or is that just stupid of me as a tenant? I haven't been a renter in many years so I'm not sure what would be considered something I should have addressed.
I would ask for new screens, as without them the windows are not functional. Whether or not you'll get them is another thing entirely. But it's worth a shot.
Ask for them all to be replaced. If the landlord baulks at that, could you live with half of the windows having the correct screens? That would give you a bargaining point.
I don't think I have checked out the screens on the windows in 25 years of renting, so I don't think you were stupid. You saw windows and assumed you would be able to open them.
Ask your landlord first. You may want to find a place that will build the correct screens so you can pass that along. Many landlords are lazy and not knowing where to get screens made may have them do nothing. In my city proper screens are required for rental premits. Perhaps you could call your building and saftey or other rental enforcer to see if its to code.
I just had 5 screens made and 2 repaired. It was over $160! I live in a town around 100,000 and only could find a ma and pa hardware store to fix and rebuild them!
i RECENTLY MOVED INTO AN APT HERE IN FLA. SEVERAL SCREENS WERE MISSING. I USUALLY RUN A/C OR HEAT ANYWAY. TILL THE A/C QUIT WORKING. MY LANDLORD REFUSES TO MAKE TIMELY REPAIRS...AND OPENING MY WINDOWS ISNT AN OPTION(I LIVE ON A LAKE. I INFORMED HERE THAT FAILURE TO REPAIR THE UNIT PROPERLY AND INSTALL SCREENS WOULD RESULT IN RENT BEING WITHHELD

FORT COLLINS - The Lagoon Summer Concert Series, a summer event held annually in Fort Collins, begins on Wednesday, July 10, at 6:30 p.m. on the Colorado State University campus. The series will continue weekly on Wednesday nights ending with a performance on Aug. 14.
CSU hosts the yearly series at its Lagoon in coordination with the Mantooth Marketing Company. Families can bring blankets, lawn chairs and picnic dinners to enjoy the free music.
The 2013 Lagoon Summer Concert Series features a variety of bands, each with their own unique sound, including Mark Sloniker, The Wendy Woo Band, Tumbling Dice, Retro 80's, The Blues DoGS and Amplified Souls.
This year, representatives from CSU's colleges and divisions will host informational booths, games, prizes and more for concert goers providing each week with its own unique flair.
"We are proud to once again sponsor and host the Lagoon Summer Concert Series," said Tom Milligan, vice president for CSU's Division of External Relations. "The concerts are a great way to welcome the entire community to campus and for the university to support the thriving music scene in Fort Collins."
"Mantooth has been proud all the years to present this great outdoor series to our community," said Connie Hanrahan, owner of Mantooth Marketing Company, a marketing, public relations and event planning company.
Due to the recent road closure on Meridian Avenue and continued construction, parking for the concerts has been altered. Visit www.lagoonseries.com/event-map-parking for parking alternatives. Concert goers are urged to walk or ride bikes to campus to reduce parking lot overcrowding and vehicle traffic congestion.

Over the weekend, as I was slaving away in the kitchen doing my breakfast chef thang, my wife sat playing with our son on the floor, trying to figure out how to copy an RMLS listing number from an email into a web browser on her Nexus 5. Since I do tasks like that all of the time, I shouted from across the room, "It's the card-stacked looking icon to copy!" That description made little sense to her, because well, it's not actually a great description, so I ended up walking away from my sizzling bacon for a few minutes to help her figure it out. We walked through the process, to which she said two things – "What are all these silly icons?" and "How is anyone supposed to know that that is what they do?" I really had no response, other than, "You are right. I could see how those could be confusing." And with that, the inspiration for this post! (more…)

How to: Sign a PDF on Android Without Printing a Thing
Now that it is 2015 – hell, even dating back to 2012 – you should know how to sign a PDF document without having to print a piece of paper. If you don't yet, that's OK, because the inspiration behind this post is the fact that almost the entire Droid Life team had no idea how to do this until a day or so ago (you know who you are). Thankfully, we can teach you in the easiest of ways, because Adobe Reader has signature support built in. Didn't know that either? Well, good, now you do. (more…)
How to: Unlock the Nexus 6 Bootloader (Nexus 9 Too)
I get that the timing of this post seems super silly, especially after the conversations we had yesterday, including one where I said I don't buy Nexus phones to flash all the things, but you know what? Many of you did buy a Nexus 6 or Nexus 9 to do just that, flash and tinker, so we want to make sure you know how to get started. Also, the process for unlocking the Nexus 6 or Nexus 9's bootloader that we are about to walk through is something I do with all Nexus devices I own, because there is always a chance I may want to tinker later on down the road. Why not be prepared? (more…)
How to: Store Music on Android Wear for Offline Playback
With an update to Android 4.4W.2, Android Wear now supports music playback while offline, which is a fancy way of saying that it is not connected to your phone. This is a pretty useful new feature, as you can pair your watch with a Bluetooth headset, leave your phone behind, and enjoy music on the go (it's great for workouts where you don't want to lug your massive phone around).
Since many of you are now receiving this new 4.4W.2 update, we thought it was time to walk you through the steps on how to setup this new functionality. The entire process can be a bit tricky, and is also insanely slow, so let's talk it out together. (more…)
Quick Tip: How to Enable Developer Options and Debugging on Android Wear
What kind of Android device would an Android Wear watch be without the ability to enable developer options? Not much of one, that's for sure. Thankfully, you can enable developer options and ADB debugging pretty easily, just like you would on a regular Android phone or tablet.
Once you have ADB debugging setup, you can do fun things like take screenshots, unlock the bootloader, think about rooting your Android Wear watch, and almost anything else that comes along, like a ROM (yes, there are ROMs for these watches already).
Ready? (more…)
Quick Tip: How to Factory Reset Your Android Wear Smartwatch
Whatever the reason may be, sometimes you have to perform a factory reset on a device. Whether you are sending it back to the manufacturer or possibly selling to a friend, it is always good to know how to wipe all of your personal data from a device.
With folks buying and receiving their Android Wear smartwatches, now is the perfect time for you to learn how to perform this task. Luckily for the beginners among us, Android Wear is a very easy OS to navigate, so learning these tricks is easy as pie.
Below, we take you through how to perform a factory reset using just your fingers, and also how to do the same thing using your voice a little bit. (more…)
Quick Tip: How to Change the Watch Face on Android Wear
A lot of you early adopters are buying and receiving your Android Wear smartwatches, so we thought it would be a good time to start showing you around the OS, teaching a few of you the basics of Google's new wearable platform.
Android Wear is very simplistic, and most settings can be accessed by simply using your voice. However, the OS was made to be touched and interacted with, so if you are not in a position to talk to your watch – you are in a movie theater for example – then it is good to learn a few tricks.
The first step all Android Wear device owners should know is how to change your device's watch face. Both the Samsung Gear Live and LG G Watch come with a lot of different pre-loaded watch faces, so let's take a look at how to switch through them all. (more…)
Securing Your Passwords with an Android Password Manager [Beginner's Guide]
Let's just get this out there: remembering passwords is the worst. We all know that we are supposed to have complicated, long passwords that have nothing to do with our history. We are supposed to have a new password for every site and the list goes on from there. Unless you are a human supercomputer, doing all that is not very easy.
Luckily for us, there is a growing market out there for password managers and lockers that make the whole process very easy. Let's take a look at few of these services that are out there and discuss just how you can use them to keep your accounts and passwords safe. (more…)

To assist the Congress in its oversight role, GAO is undertaking a series of reviews on the costs of operations in support of the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT). In related work, GAO is raising concerns about the reliability of the Department of Defense's (DOD) reported cost data and therefore is unable to ensure that DOD's reported obligations for GWOT are complete, reliable, and accurate. In this report, GAO (1) identified funding for GWOT in fiscal years 2004 and 2005, (2) compared supplemental appropriations for GWOT in fiscal year 2004 to the military services' reported obligations, and (3) compared supplemental appropriations for GWOT in fiscal year 2005 to the military services' projected obligations.
In fiscal years 2004 and 2005, DOD received funding for GWOT through both funds included in its annual appropriation and supplemental appropriations. In fiscal years 2004 and 2005, the military services received about $52.4 billion and $62.1 billion, respectively, in supplemental appropriations for GWOT (1) military personnel and (2) operation and maintenance expenses. The Army, Air Force, and Navy also received in their annual appropriations a combined $7.9 billion in fiscal year 2004 and a combined $7.6 billion in fiscal year 2005, which DOD described as being intended to support GWOT. The military services absorbed the increase into their annual appropriations and allocated it based on their judgment of where the funds were most needed. DOD's accounting systems, however, do not separately identify these additional appropriations, and there are no reporting requirements for DOD to identify to which appropriation accounts the funds were allocated; consequently, the military services have lost visibility over these funds and do not know the extent to which they are being used to support GWOT. Despite having asked for the increase to support GWOT, DOD is not explicitly counting these additional funds when considering the amount of funding available to cover GWOT expenses. For fiscal year 2004, regarding supplemental appropriations for GWOT military personnel expenses, the Navy and Marine Corps reported more in obligations than they received in supplemental appropriations, while the Army and Air Force received more in supplemental appropriations than their reported obligations. Each of the services reported more in GWOT operation and maintenance obligations than it received in supplemental appropriations. To cover the differences (gaps), DOD and the services exercised a number of authorities provided them, including transferring funds and reducing or deferring planned spending for peacetime operations. However, in considering the amount of funding available to cover the gaps, DOD did not explicitly take into account the funds provided through its annual appropriation that as previously noted it described as for the support of GWOT. If DOD had considered these funds, it could have reduced the Army's GWOT gap and eliminated the GWOT gaps of the Air Force and Navy. For fiscal year 2005, the services' forecasts of GWOT obligations for the full fiscal year as of June 2005 suggest a potential gap of $500 million for military personnel for the Air Force and potential gaps of about $2.7 billion and about $1 billion, respectively, for operation and maintenance for the Army and Air Force. To cover expenses, DOD and the services again plan to take a variety of actions, including reprogramming funds and reducing or deferring planned spending. However, DOD is again not explicitly considering the funds provided through its annual appropriation, which it described as for the support of GWOT. If counted in fiscal year 2005, the amounts potentially could reduce the Army's and eliminate the Air Force's GWOT gaps and eliminate the need for reprogramming funds and reducing or deferring planned spending.
Matter for Congressional Consideration
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: On July 25, 2005, we briefed the results of our findings to the Senate Appropriations' Defense Subcommittee who found this information useful and, working with House conferees, reduced DOD's appropriations in FY 2006 for Operation Noble Eagle by $540.4 million. The reduction was implemented in the final bill signed by the President on December 30, 2005. This action is consistent with our September 2005 report and addresses the intent of our recommendation that DOD adjust supplemental appropriations to reflect the additional funds DOD requested and received in its annual appropriations to support Global War on Terror.
Matter: Because DOD did not concur with our recommendation to adjust its future supplemental appropriations requests to reflect the additional funds the department requested and received in its annual appropriations to support GWOT and explain these adjustments to the Congress, we have no confidence that the Congress will receive the information that we believe the Congress needs to properly assess DOD's requests for supplemental appropriations to support the war. Further, because the amount of funds DOD is receiving to support GWOT through its annual appropriations is substantial--more than $10 billion annually--the Congress may wish to consider directing DOD, when it submits future supplemental appropriations requests, to provide an explanation of how such requests reflect the funds DOD requested and already received in its annual appropriations to support GWOT.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: The Department has been unable to say if the funds provided for Global War on Terror (GWOT) were actually used to cover its GWOT expenses. We are therefore closing the recommendation as not implemented.
Recommendation: To improve the visibility and accountability of DOD's use of funds for GWOT, the Secretary of Defense, in future requests for supplemental appropriations, should adjust such requests to reflect the additional funds DOD requested and received in its annual appropriations to support GWOT and provide the Congress with an explanation of these adjustments.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: The Department has been unable to say if the funds provided for Global War on Terror (GWOT) were actually used to cover its GWOT expenses. We are therefore closing the recommendation as not implemented.
Recommendation: Further, in addressing any future GWOT funding needs, the Secretary of Defense should consider the additional GWOT funds provided through the department's annual appropriation when assessing how to cover expenses for the war and document its decisions.

Is this a wildflower? If so, what is it?
I took a picture of this flower and I'm wondering if it is a wildflower.
The reason I ask is because I had got this "Vermont's Wildflowers" packet for free and planted them earlier this spring. This is the first time I have ever seen this kind of flower pop up so I'm wondering if it is a 'vermontian' wildflower.
If it is, Anyone know what the name is?
Looks like Coreopsis tinctoria, annual tickseed or plains coreopsis, which is a widespread native annual. I'm not sure but it probably is native to Vermont. Like most annuals it pops up in disturbed sites or in areas that have naturally sparse vegetation (such as very poor soils). This species is a common component in generic wildflower seed mixes because it puts on a nice show in the first year.
Here is a link that might be useful: Coreopsis tinctoria
Yes, C. tinctoria. I planted some from wild seed last year and it reseeded itself all over the garden this year. They are so pretty and delicate looking---and the plant itself can be ripped & torn and it still grows back strong. (I know because before I knew what the seedlings were, I was trying to tear some out and they kept growing back! They've also been nibbled on by rabbits and have come right back.)
Now I'm curious about this flower. I noticed it keeps flowering and I just can't seem to find any seeds to save. Anyone know what it's called? It just showed up in a different bed so I know it's not from the Vermont's wildflower seeds package.

Reforming the Endangered Species Act
Jan 21 2015
Today the Senate voted on an amendment I proposed to the bill to authorize the Keystone Pipeline, which would have limited the amount of fees attorneys can collect when suing the federal government under the Endangered Species Act.
According the Department of Justice, more than 500 ESA-related lawsuits were filed or opened against the federal government since 2009. As a result, federal agencies have to spend their time, energy, and taxpayer-funded resources fighting lawsuits instead of protecting endangered species.
While the amendment received 54 Republican votes, it didn't receive the 60 votes it needed to pass.
There is a lot of work to do to reform the implementation of the Endangered Species Act. This amendment is just one of many reforms that I am developing with my colleagues in the House and the Senate. Hopefully, our future efforts will succeed in providing relief for Americans who have seen their property rights undermined and their economic opportunities diminished by policies that ineffectively protect the environment and disproportionately benefit well-funded activist groups and lawyers.
Senator Lee Holds First "Classroom Townhall" Event with Independence H.S. of Provo, Utah

First Annual Utah Fallen Heroes Day
Oct 01 2014
I was honored that members of my staff could attend the First Annual Utah Fallen Heroes Family Day at Neptune Park in Saratoga Springs. This event was organized by The Patriot Guard Riders of Utah, Blue Star Mothers, Survivor Outreach Service Support, and the City of Saratoga Springs. The event was held to honor and show gratitude to the families of our military and first responders who gave their lives in service to our country and communities.
A Framework for Reforming PILT
Sep 18 2014
Today I attended a conference hosted by the National Association of Counties to discuss the importance and future of Payment in Lieu of Taxes funding. I appreciated the opportunity to speak to this group, so I could share my thoughts on how we can ensure that a dispropotionate share of the costs and burdens of federal land ownership aren't concentrated in counties with high levels of federal land.
Materials from the conference that highlight the problematic relationship bewteen PILT and federal lands
In my remarks to this group I identified several areas that we need to focus on as we work together to improve the PILT program and make it more reliable for the counties that rely on the federal government to keep its promise to offset the costs associated with high concentrations of federal land.
I emphasized that PILT is not an entitlement program. It is an affirmative obligation of the federal government. It must not be legislatively partnered with subsidies or other entitlements, because, as we have seen, PILT is being used as a politcal football. I will continue to work toward funding PILT as either a standalone bill or any other vehicle where Congress can focus on fully funding PILT with a long term bill that provides certainty to counties.
I also pointed out that the most important thing we need to focus on in improving the PILT program is to educate those who come from states with little federal land about the nature of this program. Every day I work to educate my colleagues about the unique challenges faced by states with high levels of public land. However, this education effort needs to be promoted by everyone who is concerned with the future of PILT. I am hopeful that those who attended this conference today will join me in this effort.
Today members of staff from my office were invited to attend a ceremony in the Utah State Capitol Building to honor 181 of the 17,000 Utahns who fought in the Korean War. They were presented with the South Korea Ambassador for Peace Medal.
A visit to Switchpoint
Sep 03 2014
In a recent trip to St. George, I was invited to tour Switchpoint: a new facility in the area that provides temporary shelter and support for the homeless community in Washington county. I was joined by St. George City Councilmembers Bette Arial, Michele Randall, and Jimmy Hughes; Mayor John Pike; and City Manager Gary Esplin. Carol Hollowell is the director of Switchpoint, and she led the tour.
Last November, I delivered a speech about reducing poverty entitled, Bring Them In. In this passage from the speech I highlighted one of the principles for reducing poverty that is often forgotten in policy debates:
We usually refer to the free market and civil society as "institutions." But really, they are networks of people and information and opportunity. What makes these networks uniquely powerful is that they impel everyone – regardless of race, religion, or wealth - to depend not simply on themselves or the government, but on each other. For all America's reputation for individualism and competition, our nation has from the beginning been built on a foundation of community and cooperation.
In a free market economy and voluntary civil society, no matter your career or your cause, your success depends on your service. The only way to get ahead is to help others do the same. The only way to look out for yourself is to look out for your neighbors.
As I toured Switchpoint, I was convinced that their model that relies primarily on the institutions of civil society is a model that policies that are intended to reduce poverty need to follow. The institutions of government had a small role to play in helping Switchpoint secure their building. One of their innovations of the facility is to designate an area where 17 non-profit partners and local government agencies can be available to those who visit the facility. The bulk of the effort that is utilized to run this facility is provided by volunteers. Local organizations of contractors and local businesses donated materials and labor for renovating and modernizing the facility. Another group donated computers that can be used by those who visit the facility to search for work, fill out forms and paper work, participate in job training programs, and develop new skills. Religious groups donated crucial resources and volunteers as well.
Donated Materials and Bedroom Furniture
Computer Kiosks for Donated Computers
Aside from this community assistance, much of the operation of the facility will depend on the volunteer work of those who are receiving its services. While I was touring the kitchen, a woman who was receiving assistance from Switchpoint was helping maintain the kitchen and preparing lunch.
Learning About Kitchen Volunteer Program
I was certainly impressed by Switchpoint's innovative approach to making poverty more temporary, but I was not surprised to see this innovation coming from from my fellow Utahns. This is why as part of my Conservative Reform Agenda, my proposals that are designed to provide opportunity and upward mobility to those who are struggling focus primarily on shifting power from Washington DC to the states, local governments, and local communities that can truly make a difference to those they serve.
Americans need a new, comprehensive anti-poverty agenda that not only corrects – but transcends – existing policies, and I believe Switchpoint is an organization that proves we can meet this challenge.
Yesterday I joined with the Salt Lake Chamber and the Governor's office to host the Utah Solutions Summit. This event provided a venue for Utah business leaders and government officials to come together to discuss the vast and uncertain regulatory state with which businesses are required to comply. The event was also an avenue to find solutions to government imposed burdens placed on economic development. In addition to providing information about the role of regulation and regulation compliance through panel discussions, Senator Lee facilitated industry specific roundtable discussions. In these roundtables, industry leaders discussed ways to alleviate the burdens these regulations have on their companies with a representative from Senator Lee's office, a representative from the Governor's office, and others.
The summit began with an opening speech by myself, and I was followed by a keynote speech given by my friend, Senator Tom Coburn. Both speeches focused on over-reach at the federal level. I compared the federal government to a "helicopter parent," with 80,000 pages of new federal rules handed down in 2013.
After the opening speeches, there were two panel discussions: A local regulation panel consisting of city officials and business leaders, and a state regulation panel consisting of economists, business leaders, and an agency director. These panelists examined and provided insight regarding the relationship between regulation and economic development.
Lt. Governor Spencer Cox spoke to the group at lunch where he presented examples on how regulation negatively affects innovation in the economy.
In the afternoon, attendees dispersed into industry specific roundtable discussions. The goal of these roundtables was to bring together representatives of businesses and industries to discuss the regulatory burden under which they are required to comply. Participants were asked to bring their most burdensome regulations to the summit as well as potential solutions they would like to put into place to address these problems.
We held roundtable discussions on these topics
Real Estate & Commercial Construction
Banking & Finance
Technology, Entrepreneurship, & Small
Healthcare, Medical Devices, &
- Energy, Natural Resources, & Public Lands
Mr. Wayne Crews, an expert from the Competitive Enterprise Institute in Washington, DC, provided a presentation on federal regulation for those attendees that did not participate in the roundtable discussions.
I am grateful for the time set aside and the effort made by those in attendance. The ideas driven through dialogue produced important strategies to address the vast regulatory burden your business faces every day.
Reaching Out to Utah's Veterans
Jul 07 2014
At the end of May, I sent a newsletter to highlight some of the important work my staff had conducted on behalf of Utah's veterans. At the time, I also announced a series of events that my staff and I would attend to stay engaged with veterans across the state of Utah.
Over the last few weeks, my staff and I have been busy maintaining an open dialogue with Utah's veterans and those who have been entrusted to their care.
Utah Honor Flight
I was pleased to be a part of the Utah Honor Flight, which gives veterans the opportunity to travel to DC at no cost to visit and be honored at their memorials. During their three day event, they visited the Vietnam and Lincoln memorials, Washington Monument, and Iwo Jima Memorial. The also toured Arlington Cemetery where they witnessed the Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknow Soldier. Veterans are honored at a banquet in DC and presented medals to thank them for their service. I was honored to have had the pleasure of meeting with these veterans at the WWII Memorial in Washington DC.
Bus to Escort Veterans to Airport
A Proud Navy Girl
An Honorable Send Off
Several members of my staff attended the send off and welcome home ceremonies in Utah.
Local Trucking Company Honors Veterans
On June 20, my office attended an event hosted by C.R. England to honor Utah's veterans. C.R. England is a local trucking company and the largest temperature-controlled carrier in the world. The company unveiled two new veteran-branded trucks that they are adding to the fleet that veterans will drive. I was glad my staff could be part of this great event to show support for our veterans
Flag Retirement Ceremony
I also asked representatives of my office to attend the Provo Freedom Festival's Flag Retirement Ceremony held on Flag Day, Saturday, June 14, 2014. Jim Evans (former Mayor of Orem) conducted the ceremony. The Girl Scouts did an informative presentation on the evolution of the flag. The Boy Scouts participated in the retirement portion of the ceremony. Four flags were retired (burned) in honor of the Gold Star families, Blue Star families, POW's and MIA's.
Retiring Old Glory
Veteran Focused Mobile Office Visit
On June 26, 2014, my mobile office was set up at the George E. Wahlen Ogden Veterans Home from 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. My staff members Emily Wiscombe, Jessica Christopher, Ben Haymond and Ryan Wilcox were on hand to meet with individuals.
The home adds an $11 million economic boost to the local economy while providing a valuable service to those who have given so much for us.
Upcoming events
My mobile office will be making several visits to veteran communities and centers across the state over the coming weeks. You can subscribe to my newsletter to receive updates to attend these events. I will also hold a veteran-focused town hall meeting in August so members of the community can ask questions and give me their thoughts directly. Once the time and location of this event is finalized, I will provide more information. I appreciate the valuable feedback I receive during these events.

"My son is turning three. This card came out so adorable I can't even tell you. The pictures I used front and back are exactly how I wanted them and it blends perfectly with the card design. I'm super happy and love this beautiful keepsake for his baby book too (yes- I save a birthday invite and holiday card every year). Love this invite!"
"What can I say - lovely thick paper, well printed, a very handy RSVP service, and quick shipping! I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase."
"This invitation was perfect for my daughter's 6th birthday party at a candy shop with a cupcake theme. The invitations and envelopes are high quality and I have gotten so many compliments on them. Sweet and simple."
"The card stock was thick, cute size, and nice design. I love Tiny prints, they have great options for all budgets. Shipping was at great timing, faster than expected. The design theme for the party was inspired by card."
"The card stock was excellent, and the pictures were adorable. I hope the make this in other colors, it is a chocolate brown."

I never thought I would be in this scenario but now I am slightly over 40 and I still want to birth another child. I had my wonderful boy 3 years ago.When I was younger I always thought when I heard of someone having a child at 43 that that was old and almost selfish that a child would have an older mother. Fast forward with male factor infertility and time passing( breastfeeding and 3 failed FET) my eggs are no longer young. I read that you can be 40 ish and feel great and look great but your eggs will always be your age. Now that I really want to have another child I am contemplating using donor eggs. Is this ridiculous? Am I being selfish in wanting to be a mother again and having a sibling for my son? Do you think my child will resent that his mother is older? What is too old? I want to at least see my children turn 30. Can someone give me some insight???
Huge hugs Tracy.
I'm actually glad you are thinking of this. I can see what a great mom you are and I think the world needs more children to be parented by you.
Is it selfish? Absolutely not. Would you rather have been born and have you mom die when you're 20 or have never been born? Most people would choose any amount of time being loved over no time.
Besides, none of us know when we're going to die. You could live to be 100 and meet your great-great-grandchildren or you could be in a car accident and die tomorrow. Do you think if you died tomorrow your son would've wished you hadn't had him? Of course not. He'd be grateful for the time you DID have with him.
The average life span is 81, so even if you're average, you'll raise your children and see them off on their own. (And see them have a child at 40).
And the world will have been a better place because you did.
@Xerxella thank you for stopping by. I have been struggling so hard lately. I just want another child.thank you for the support and you always know what to say. Well, maybe I will be joining the challenged group soon. But hopefully you will have graduated:)
Gosh , I can't believe no one else replied. Maybe I am crazy!!!! Crazy or not I am feeling good about this decision and if there is anyone else put there about to use donor eggs please pm me!
I had my first baby at 40 and my second at 43, so it doesn't sound ridiculous or selfish to me. You're only going to be a few years older when you have your second child than you were when you had your first. If you don't think that was too old, you probably shouldn't feel like a few years older is too old either.
My husband and my father were both born to parents in their 40s. My husband will be close to 41 when the one I am pregnant with now will be born. Most of my good friends have larger families and were/are still having babies into their 40s.
Thanks for the replies. I appreciate it. I guess I was feeling like I was pushing it with my 2 year old. I am feeling better about it all now.
Im 43 and my husband is...drum roll please.......52!!!! And we want a child. I have three adult children from my previous marriage who are supportive of our desire. My eggs are old too and I feel in the best shape of my life! We are on the hunt for donor eggs and a uterus. I dont care if they are one and the same or if the eggs come from one person and then it all gets transferred to another. Its the most bizarre dream to chase too. We have asked family and friends and acquaintances and asked them to think of someone. The hardest part is finding an egg donor that looks like me. Im 5,9" and 140# with blonde hair and blue eyes.
The thing is we are financially set, I retired at 40 after selling my company, and my husband is a senior executive. We can afford this but we cant find anyone who is willing to help.
Could use some support and friends...and if anyone knows someone whose uterus is available...let me know!!..<3
hey! it is ok, there are women who gave birth to the child after 40, you r not crazy don't thinklike this. In the clinic where we were with hubby woman aged 66 gave birth to 2 babies https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=464533173647616&set=vb.438649982902602&type=2&theater
Cheer up!!!
@larajune - Why aren't you using your own uterus with donor eggs?
@Xerxella I had a hysterectomy following the birth of my youngest child. So, some assembly required for this round
I see. If money's not an issue, why don't you contact an agency? That would seem to be the best option. I just googled it and there are a ton. Besides, you'll want to have a lawyer draft up the necessary documents, etc. Most REs have an agency they recommend people to. What does your RE say? Honestly, if you have the money finding a surrogate and donor eggs is easy. Alexis Stewart had at least 2 lined up every month for when she cycled every month.
As far as donor eggs, a random google search came up with tons of tall blondes if that's what you want: https://www.eggdonoramerica.com/par_don_search_results.php https://www.eggdonor.com/egg-donor-database/
First of all, I'm stoked right now! I have googled and searched multiple egg donor sites as well as infertility clinic data bases and could not find what you just sent me after you're one search! I'm not exaggerating either. My husband and I even had a bit of a row over this...ok, a big one, when he made an offhanded remark about how I should not be so picky as to eye color as he has brown eyes and so it wouldn't matter what color the donor's eyes are. I went on a rampage about how he is shaped a bit square, like a linebacker, or a Lego Man (yes I went there) and is no more than 5'10" so why should I care if the donor is slender, long and tall at all? Then I said IT, I said I'll just pick any egg and see what we get after all, what does it matter as I have really no involvement at all. Then I burst into tears and walked out of the room, leaving him standing there still in his work clothes with his mouth wide open, speechless.
I swear...even the nurse at the fertility clinic thought I was being too specific whereas I thought it was important for our child to resemble me somewhat. I felt really alone on this. I'd luck to hug you...why didn't I find this one single site?? WOW!!! She did give me names of attorneys and we would use one to protect everyone involved no matter who it would be. I know it sounds ridiculous...with everyone we are "working with" nobody could find me what you just found. This has been something I have been doing mostly on my own while everyone has been offering prayers and questioning if I really want sleepless night and cold dinners....I have three adult children, so if they think cold dinner and a lack of sleep is the hard part, they have never met the age 15!!!
To answer your question...(my heart is pounding really hard right now)...we wanted it to be someone we knew, someone we trusted from actual knowledge of them or from relative or friend. I initially was concerned about the surrogate eating chips and drinking sodas while pregnant with out child, but then our doctor told me he was more concerned about Hepatitis and HIV, alcohol and tobacco use. It never occurred to me that someone would do that, naive, I know. So we got scared. A surrogate from an agency is the last resort.
Thank you sooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I dont know what I was doing wrong!
@Xerxella hey are you not at Disney mama? Are you hijacking the thread? Lol he he I'm kidding. We are also chatting about specifics over here
You are such a good researcher and knowledgeable!
@Xerxella I AM SENDING A HUGE CYBER HUG RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The link you sent to me with three possible donor eggs that meet my height, body type, hair color, eye color and nationality was an amazing gift as I could not find it on my own and was going crazy, no sleep, no eating, snapping at people, depressed....
SHE SAID YES!!!!! I GOT AN EGG DONOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Her baby pictures look like me, we have the same interests, we both owned businesses int he healthcare, we both got into that industry because we have a deep need to help people...the list goes on. Some people on here get "it" and others are fortunate to never know, and I have fallen into both categories. To find the right person with who your child will carry a genetic link isn't like ordering a pizza.....I CANT BELIEVE IT!!!!
After you sent the link and I found her I got right on it and they contacted her Friday and today I got an answer!
Thank you so much @Xerxella !!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I need a surrogate..........................thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!
Glad to hear that!
hi, i had my first at 37 and working on a fourth at 44. there is a etc over 40 board as well if you ever want to pop by for a chat.
number 4 might not happen since we have been trying for a year and nothing but a chemical.
If you're crazy so am I - LOL!
I'm 41, have 3 kids, financially in terrible shape to be considering another, and it looks like I'm most likely in full blown menopause already - stopped having periods last fall suddenly, blood work was well into the menopause range. We had been playing around with the idea of #4 since DD's birth 6 years ago but never felt like we were in quite the right place to go for it. I knew, of course, that the decision couldn't be put off forever but didn't expect my window to close quite so soon.
We can't afford fertility treatments or alternatives. I haven't spent much time looking into whether there is anything that can be done to move forward with my own eggs but after reading this thread I'm curious why you both say your eggs are too old. Is it just based on your age or some other factor? I know a lot of women who have given birth with their own eggs after age 40 and had no issues.
Quote:I realize that having more children is a common feeling and I am resolved and moving forward. Will you start actively TTC?

We had been playing around with the idea of #4 since DD's birth 6 years ago but never felt like we were in quite the right place to go for it. I knew, of course, that the decision couldn't be put off forever but didn't expect my window to close quite so soon.
We can't afford fertility treatments or alternatives. I haven't spent much time looking into whether there is anything that can be done to move forward with my own eggs but after reading this thread I'm curious why you both say your eggs are too old. Is it just based on your age or some other factor? I know a lot of women who have given birth with their own eggs after age 40 and had no issues.
My first pregnancy was through IVF.... We already had issues with sperm count:) then I had my beautiful boy in 2011 and breastfeed for a while then used the 9. Frozen embryos we had and they were all a failed attempt. My doctors concluded that while my embryos were and eggs were younger out of a total of 14 eggs only one precious baby. Fast forward 3 years... Well, we know my egg are definitely older now. And sperm is still slow and low
Sure some women have children in their 40s and a lot use fertility treatments to get those children. But, overall, fertility starts to decline in your 30s and it starts a significant decline at about 37 and fertilty is functionally over (on average) at about 42. Then menopause happens at about 48 - 50ish.
These are averages. You hit menopause at 41 and other women hit menopause at 60. So women who hit menopause at 60 can more easily have a child in their 40s. But that's not the average.
Women should know these things so they can plan their lives properly. Too many women (like you) think there's always more time. But the biological clock, at this poor in modern medicine, can't be beat.
Because once you hit menopause, you can never again give birth to your biological child.
Hi, I know this is an old thread, but I was in need of some encouragement or something, so I decided to thumb through the threads to see if anything stood out to me. The last comment here is very good. I love how logical it is. And yet it is very discouraging. It's not necessarily surprising about fertility declining with age, but this is exactly where I am and I just don't know how to come to terms with it.
I am 38, turning 39 in December. We have been sort of TTC for almost 3 years. It was almost three years ago, though, that my body started failing me and my cycles went crazy. There were several times when I genuinely thought I must be pregnant because of the severe symptoms I was having. My cycles became very erratic and unpredictable and I was freaking out. After some research, I decided I must be going thru peri menopause. And I guess I still am because no matter what I do, this doesn't get better. I thought I could get my cycles back to normal with progesterone, but I managed to have only one normal length cycle in over 6 months. I don't even know if I am ovulating anymore! And every cycle makes me manic. Not only because of the symptoms, but because I can't get over the want to have another baby.
I fear my time is up. I do not want to go thru fertility treatments, and I am not big on testing, so I may never know if I could truly have another child or not. Part of me wants to be able to move on and just build my life from here with the two children I already have, and part of me wants to keep trying to see what happens. My aunt had her fourth at 40, and my mom thought she was crazy. My cousin is almost due with her third at 39. It's not unheard of and quite frankly, I feel it is a blessing to be able to have a baby later. Maybe what I need is a time of mourning. I don't really feel like I have anyone to talk to about it, I'm usually very private with my feelings. Even though I don't know exactly what he is thinking, I am a little afraid to talk to my husband because he seems to be in the stage of life where everything is going so well and I'm sure he cannot even imagine another baby in this house.
Anyway, this might not be the best thread to post this, but there it is. :)
Wanting to have another child and over 40.... Am I being crazy? Help
I know there are a couple of threads that talk about this , I'll post the threads if I find them.
I know the feeling though as I'm the one who originally post this problem. It's a decision that only you can make. Keep trying or process that you will only have the two children you have. It's not easy I know. Have you confirmed peri menopause? Have you gone to a naturopath? There is a great fertility book people are giving some hype to. I'll come back and post that. I say this because I think you said you don't want to do any fertility interventions right? I'm so sorry you are going through this and big hugs. I couldn't let it go personally and my dh and I decided to use donor eggs . We were a bit familiar with the process as we had to go through IVF for our first son because of low sperm count.
Hugs mama.
I'll come back and post he book and if I find those threads that may be able to help you sort out some feelings.

New Tuvalu MP likely to join govt
TUVALU'S Government is quietly confident of adding on a ninth member to strengthen their position in parliament with the election of a new member from Nui on September 10.
Leneuoti Matusi polled 297 votes in the by-election upsetting Taom Tanukale who controversially resigned from parliament in July while he was still Minister for Health.
Foreign Affairs Minister Taukelina Finikaso confirmed that Matusi was the newest member of Tuvalu's parliament.
On whether he would join cabinet, Finikaso told Islands Business they would await his arrival on Funafuti from Nui before they could make an announcement.
On July 31, the then cabinet lost a motion to dissolve parliament in their bid to avoid a motion of vote of no confidence.
Tanukale shocked parliament when he resigned after that failed vote, reducing the then government's number from five to four.
Speaker Kamuta Latasi used the resignation as an excuse to adjourn parliament so a by-election for the vacant Nui seat could be held.
Attorney General Ese Apinelu also advised the Speaker that despite the resignation, they could still go ahead with the vote of no confidence motion.
Governor General Sir Italeli Iakoba used his special powers to reconvene parliament and Sopoaga, with a majority support in parliament, walked into cabinet after securing a vote of no confidence against then Prime Minister Willie Telavi.
Currently the Sopoaga Government has eight members and opposition has four, with former Education Minister Falesa Pitoi being absent for the last seven months.
Finikaso said they were also looking at Pitoi's absence but a by-election could only be warranted should a certain percentage of his Nanumaga electorate sign a petition seeking the Governor General's intervention.

kind of hard to be 150/300mbps if the lan ports are 100
I don't understand the point of trying to say your wireless is 300 when it only has ports that are 100 -- your getting 300 to what? Sure and the hell is not going to be another wireless client because that is /2 automatically..
If you going to be connecting via wireless, what point is the gig switch? Might as well just connect it to your 10/100 ports on your router.

The point is that I wanted to enable fast data transfer over the network & I was thinking connecting the NAS to a 1GB Switch and then the switch on to my existing router (which is 10/100)

Book Review - Open Source Software: Implementation and Management
Have you ever had a friend ask you how to introduce open source within an organization? Although some may have outstanding answers for this question, few of those answers carry the credibility that top management might require. If, as projected, half of IT professionals in 2005 will consider open source, this might be a question we all will be hearing more often. It would be nice to suggest a credible resource where those posing the question might be able to find some useful answers.
Open Source Software: Implementation and Management, by Paul Kavanagh, may be that resource. Aimed at professional managers and implementors of information technology, Kavanagh provides realistic discussions of the key topics an organization must consider before jumping on the open-source software bandwagon.
For the generalists that Kavanagh targets, he provides a good history of software and open source. His breakdown of where open source is successful sets up the reader to consider fully the strengths and weaknesses of open-source software. The chapters covering opportunities for open source provide some of the best deployment ideas that an organization can choose. Throughout the book, Kavanagh provides references to many of the most important open-source alternatives. These references give readers useful starting points for further research and are accompanied by realistic reviews of the open-source projects.
Probably one of the most frequent questions asked concerns the cost of implementing open source. Here, Kavanagh provides a common-sense process for breaking down this question. One way he simplifies this issue is difficult to refute: "When compared with similar closed code systems, open source systems as a general rule cost:
Much less for software
No more and often less for hardware
If other things are equal, no more for anything else.
Of course, this excludes the staffing costs that typically represent over 60% of the TCO calculation. Therefore, Kavanagh accurately predicts that for now the staffing costs aggregated into switching and sunk costs will delay adoption of open source within most companies.
If an organization wants to participate fully in the Open Source community, they will want employees to contribute to or originate an open-source project. Although Kavanagh provides great advice about how to achieve this participation, too much detail is given concerning the way open-source software is developed and the various application architectures. This material may be beyond the scope of the generalists previously mentioned.
In many cases, Open Source Software hits its target well, but chapter summaries could simplify the key points and make them more accessible. Offering checklists, action guides and other quick references would allow managers and implementors to draw quick and immediate benefits from the book.
Recently, someone did ask me how to best introduce open source into his company. Top management was looking for guidance, and he needed some help. Other than a few links, I really couldn't help much, but now I would suggest Paul Kavanagh's Open Source Software, and rest comfortable knowing they were going to get their questions answered.
Really good book
Open Source Software is really good book for companies considering
use of open source software in their IT organization. It provides a good balance between pros and cons of using open source software.
The book has good suggestions for open source deployment and areas where open source projects are mature and ready for deployment. One critical IT function where open source is mature was not considered - Data protection - backup and archiving data.
Amanda is a leading open source backup and archiving software and has been in the public domain since 1992. It has tens of thousands of installations and its use of open, standards based media format for backups makes it a good tool for backup and archiving.
