![]() The ability to use the host as parent, and guests VM’s as snapshots.I would love to see a simple integration with Lab Manager that would allow users to be able to pull images from library or their workspace to their local workstation, and push images back to Lab Manager as necessary. Integration with VMware Lab Manager – Lab Manager is an awesome tool, but the SMB’s that I service are not always able to afford the resources needed to run every VM a development team can dream up, and there is plenty of horsepower on a modern workstation.A report of all VM’s on a host with MAC address, host OS, IP address, and even a copy of the. As a network manager, I want to be able to report on the VM’s that are in place on various hosts around the environment, and monitor their usage. Monitoring, Alerting, and Reporting of key aspects of VMware Workstations installations.This would allow network admins to maintain some control over the base images on the network. A policy that defines master image location and prevents VM’s not obtained from the central image repository from being started.For example, I can picture policies that would block VMDK’s from being placed on removable media to prevent data leakage, or prevent users from creating a VMDK that would fill their local disk. Controlling this could save on help desk calls. I’ve seen people configure guests with the same amount of memory as the host and performance in both suffers. Prevent inefficient resource configurations by restricting VM’s from being configured with more than a certain percentage of the hosts memory, CPU count, etc.For example, I want to allow only host-only configurations so developers cannot use VM’s to get around security mechanisms or host lockdowns, or prevent bridged/NAT’d configurations so VM’s are less likely to be an entry point for malware. Allow certain types of network configurations, prevent others.Here are a few policy elements I can envision: I would love to be able to exert control over the VMware Workstation installations through Group Policy to help control the environment a bit. The problem, however, is that coders are crazy and sometimes do things in VM’s’ that are not, um, ideal. ![]() I’ve spent the past four years in software development environments, and VMware Workstation has been a key component in those environments as it allows developers to create unique, portable environments for whatever it is that those crazy coders cook up next. Group Policy management of VMware Workstation installations.Once I join the beta I will not be allowed to publicly discuss the new features, so I’ll toss out some ideas now and see how many show up in future releases: I have yet to join the beta, but the invitation got me thinking about what new features I would like to see in VMware Workstation. I recently received an invitation to the VMware Workstation beta program for the next version, currently code-named ‘Iron’. ![]()

The Calico 9mm Brass Catcher will hold 300 rounds of spent brass before you have to empty it. I was later shown a great congealed lump of lead and copper about the size of an Orange, and was told it was just one of many, some much bigger, which were recovered from the sand.

One day I walked into the wood to see a bright yellow mechanical Digger on the Range. The Range was in woodland and the backstop was a sandy earth bank about 12 feet high.

On the subject of cleaning up on the range. ![]() ![]() ![]() This brings up an observation I’ve made from testing Chevrolet products over the years: there’s not a lot of continuity from one model to the next when you get inside, other than the bowtie on the steering wheel. With pushbutton start despite GM offering such conveniences on other models and this becoming the norm in upper echelon trims of competitive crossovers still irks me, but the key fob is better than what it includes in the more expensive and larger Traverse, as is the Equinox’ infotainment system. Last year’s complaint that there’s no available proximity sensing access All the same, my loaner included great looking Light Titanium (grey) webbed-cloth seat inserts rimmed in Jet Black fabric with contrasting red stitching for a totally unique appearance, a colour scheme that matched the grey and black dash as well as the door panels, red stitching added to the latter. I made a similar comment last year and like I said just a moment ago, there are no major changes to the 2014 model. The two-tone interior colour scheme of my tester certainly appeared more upscale than the monotone black LS model I saw in the GM showroom where I picked it up, and there doesn’t appear to be any fewer soft-touch surfaces in that version of this little SUV than my LT’s padded armrests and door panel inserts. Other change to the 2014 Equinox is a set of standard chrome wheels on top-line LTZ trim, not a factor with my 2LT. My only question about this choice was, why didn’t GM Canada choose the only new colour available for 2014, blue-tinted Silver Topaz Metallic to coat this mostly carryover model? Now that would’ve been something unique. I wouldn’t say it’s the most alluring, but no one can argue against a silver vehicle’s potential resale opportunities. My latest tester was finished in Silver Ice Metallic paint, one of 11 shades and hues available. None have been without fault, but all have left me impressed, showing good reason why the Equinox sells as well as it does.įirst off, the Equinox is a good-looking compact crossover from all angles. I’veĬovered various grades of trim along the way too, but mostly mid-grade LT models like this tester. It all began with the original 2005 version tested on the new model launch program in 2004, followed up by a review of the 2008 mid-cycle refresh of that same version loaned to me and my production team during a GM fleet program, and then the all-new 2010 model that I was also invited to drive during the model’s launch program, after which I tested a 2012 version here at home, a 2013 model here last year, and now this 2014 version. The redesigned Equinox and all-new Terrain went on sale in 2009 as 2010 models and within three years managed to find in excess of a million buyers, although the Equinox more than doubles the Terrain’s annual sales.Ī quick look back into my own personal archives shows that this is my seventh Equinox road test review. ![]() The Chevrolet Equinox is extremely popular while its Theta platform-sharing GMC Terrain cousin more than pulls its own weight.

The engine is overheating: on the reverse side, sometimes the sensor will fail entirely and won't be able to monitor the engine's coolant temperature. The result will be more black smoke being expelled from the exhaust port of the cylinder head and out the tail pipe. When the fuel mixture is rich (meaning more fuel than air in the vapor inside the combustion chamber) the cylinder will not be able to burn all the fuel. If you notice that your temperature warning light is on and the fuel mileage is really poor, it may be caused by the sensor.īlack smoke from the exhaust: another side effect of a rich engine is that black smoke (or unburnt carbon from fuel) will be present from the vehicle's exhaust when you accelerate. ![]() The side effect of this reaction is that the fuel economy will drastically be cut. This in turn triggers the ECM to either add more fuel or reduce air mixture to create a “rich” situation, designed to cool the cylinders and reduce the potential of overheating. The engine is getting poor fuel economy: when the coolant temperature sensor is not functioning correctly, it tends to relay false information to the engine control module. ![]() Noted below are a few of the warning signs that will alert you that the coolant temperature sensor is damaged and needs to be replaced. Before you make the decision to replace the coolant temperature sensor, make sure diagnose some of the warning signs of a faulty coolant temperature sensor. Taking time to properly diagnose the precise cause of the overheating situation is very important to providing a solution and actually fixing what is broken. When a problem occurs with engine heating or overheating, it may be due to one or multiple broken parts. The coolant system on today's cars, trucks, and SUV's is comprised of multiple components that work together to keep your engine running well. Part 1 of 3: Diagnosing a problem with the coolant temperature sensor ![]() If you discover that the sensor is failing, you'll have to replace this device by following the step-by-step instructions noted below. When the signal is sent to the ECM, the computer adjusts the vehicles ignition timing, fuel flow, and other factors that trim or enhance performance based on the coolant temperature.ĭue to the fact that engine temperature plays a vital role in the overall performance of any vehicle, having a properly functioning coolant temperature sensor is essential. The coolant temperature sensor (switch) utilizes electrical resistance to measure the coolant's temperature. When the sensor is functioning properly, it will tell your on board computer if the temperature is too high, alerting the driver that a problem exists by illuminating a warning light on the dashboard. The coolant temperature sensor, also known as the coolant temperature switch, is the engine management system that monitors the temperature of the coolant and relays this information to the ECM. One of the most important systems to monitor is the cooling system, which includes the radiator, water pump, radiator fan, coolant lines, and overflow tank. Today's engines monitor virtually every function to ensure your vehicle runs strongly and efficiently every day. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you need some help getting to grips with this rhythm – check out my post on the most important strumming pattern you’ll ever learn.Īs I always say though, just use it as a guide. I’ve set the video to play from the point that Josh starts playing but the whole video is worth a watch if you’re interested in learning.įor the record, it looks like Josh is play the good old-fashioned D DU UDU which looks like this… As most of the songs that Axis Of Awesome play are backed by a piano there’s no exact strumming pattern but if you really want some help on this, you could watch this rather brilliant TED video where Josh Kaufman has a crack at the 4 chord song on a uke… No doubt some of you reading this will want a definitive strumming pattern for this one. It’s a chord combination that crosses genres too as you’ll see from the list of songs above. The thing that amazes me about it though is that songs can sound so different despite being based on the same formula. There’s just something that is pleasing to our ears about those chords and that keeps musicians coming back time and time again. Ultimately it’s pretty simple, this combination of chords works incredibly well together. It’s the relationship between those chords that’s the important bit. Axis of Awesome simply transposed all of the songs so they could play them using the same 4 chords and they’re completely recogniseable. They use the same relationship between chords. Technically all of the songs listed above don’t use the same chords. Why do so many songs use the same chords? Even just noodling around with those chords for a while you’re likely to find a few new ones. The truth is there are loads more to go at. Ok that might be only 47 and I did say hundreds but Axis Of Awesome had to stop somewhere otherwise their video would have gone on for hours. The Gregory Brothers – “Double Rainbow”. ![]()
