|OKLAHOMA'S�eGOV NEWS REPORT
Welcome to Oklahoma's eGovernment News Report. We hope you enjoy the monthly report providing you with up-to-date information on Oklahoma's eGovernment achievements.
Governor of Oklahoma Debuts New Design for Oklahoma's Official Web Site
More than 16 million visitors, 2 million transactions, and 75,000 professional license renewals during 2008
Oklahomans now have a redesigned government portal to visit and use as the central gateway to interacting with the state government at the state's official Web site. OK.gov, which first launched in 2001 under the name of YourOklahoma.com, receives an average of nearly 1.3 million visitors per month and offers more than 260 online services to the businesses and citizens of Oklahoma.
"The new portal design assists the state in providing Oklahomans with efficient government," said Governor Brad Henry. "Oklahomans can now find information faster with the new organization of content and search tools available at OK.gov."
At the new OK.gov, visitors are greeted with new technologies such as a 'One-Click Search' utility to assist Oklahomans in finding answers fast by displaying the most recent and popular content.
"This is phase one of the new OK.gov where we provide a more intuitive experience for Oklahomans. The public can look forward to more new services and utilities being launched on OK.gov in the near future," said Joe Fleckinger, Deputy Director of the Office of State Finance.
The site now features translation available in 8 languages and the ability to "Share" with eleven different social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace. Another new feature is a dashboard on the right column of the homepage providing quick access to real-time content such as State Surplus Auction items in the "Shop OK.gov" panel and the status of state bills in the "Bill Tracker" panel.
Oklahomans are invited to visit OK.gov and provide feedback utilizing the online "Feedback" form located in the "Support" menu. The portal also offers Live Chat Help during normal Oklahoma government business hours, available through the Help Center located in the right content area.
OK.gov is also assisting the state in its efforts to be more environmentally friendly. Through http://gogreen.ok.gov, agencies can report the amount of paper saved by putting services and information online. Oklahoma's online services reduced paper consumption among state agencies by over 35.9 million sheets of paper since January 2007.

2,000 Cubic Feet of Used Computer Equipment and Cell Phones Collected at www.GoGreen.OK.gov eRecycle Event
Oklahoma citizens and businesses donated more than 2,000 cubic square feet of used computer equipment and used cell phones during the recent eRecycling event at the Oklahoma state capitol on April 22.
"We will be able to help a lot of deserving people with computers thanks to the citizens of Oklahoma. I've always known they were special – this just proves it one more time," said Adri-Anne Trammell, ASK Project Manager. "We're just down the road in Norman so if you have more computers you want to donate, the information on where and when is on our website: www.soonerambucs.org."
Equipment collected from the eRecycling event was donated to the AMBUCS share4Life Komputers Project and Cell Phones for Soldiers. The donations will generate at least 150 refurbished computers for disabled Oklahomans and over 11,500 minutes in talk time for Oklahoma soldiers in the Middle East.
"Donating your old cell phone is a small, easy sacrifice to make to support our troops," says Brittany Bergquist, Cell Phones for Soldiers co-founder. "But for the troops overseas, it provides a priceless connection to their loved ones at home."
The eRecycle event was sponsored by GoGreen.OK.gov, an OK.gov initiative showcasing how Oklahoma eGovernment is helping to reduce the carbon footprint by reducing paper consumption and citizen travel to government facilities. According to a study available on http://www.gogreen.ok.gov, the state of Oklahoma has reduced paper consumption by over 35.9 million sheets of paper through the use of online government services.
By moving government services online, state agencies receive the benefit of removing paper-based processes from their daily routine and reducing traffic to their office. Currently, 23 state agencies are participating in the study available at http://www.gogreen.ok.gov.
National Academy to Host White House Dialogue on IT Solutions for Economic Recovery
For one week beginning April 27th, the National Academy of Public Administration, on behalf of the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board and the U.S. Office of Management and Budget, will host a national online dialogue to engage leading information technology (IT) vendors, thinkers, and consumers in answering a key question:
What ideas, tools, and approaches can make Recovery.gov a place where the public can transparently monitor the expenditure and use of recovery funds?�
Participants from across the IT community will be able to recommend, discuss, and vote on the best ideas, tools, and approaches. The ideas submitted can directly impact how Recovery.gov operates, and ensure that our economic recovery is the most transparent and accountable in history.�
New www.transparent-gov.com Web Site Provides Comprehensive View of Government Transparency Initiatives Across the Country
Budget spending, stimulus spending, lobbyist spending, legislative tracking, and more can all be found at http://www.transparent-gov.com.
With the recent passing of the Federal Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, governments are now working hard to monitor and report on the spending of those dollars, and share that oversight with taxpayers. But transparency does not begin or end with the federal stimulus money. Governments across the country are providing online services that offer insight into budget spending, lobbyist spending, legislative tracking, and more.
A one-stop source for accessing this information just launched -- the Transparent-gov.com site is a free resource that tracks the transparency services offered by federal, state, and local governments nationwide in their efforts to make information more available to citizens. The site offers links to online transparency, stimulus, and recovery initiatives and allows users to suggest additional content through a public feedback link.
The site was created by NIC. Based in Olathe, Kansas, NIC (NASDAQ: EGOV), is the nation's leading provider of official government portals, online services, and secure payment processing solutions.
"There is a new level of interaction between people and government that is taking place online, as demonstrated by the recent presidential campaign," said Harry Herington, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of NIC. "In this era of digital democracy, people expect immediate access to information and this new site provides that."
Current types of information available on the new site include:
Those in the public sector work hard to do what's best for the businesses and citizens they serve, which is clearly shown by the hundreds of transparency initiatives you will find on the transparent-gov site," continued Herington. "We support the ongoing effort to build online services that help governments operate in a more open manner and to provide access to this information to all Americans."
The Transparent-gov.com site is also accessible via mobile and has been optimized for the iPhone and the Android operating system.

RENO, NV - Reno's train station is being added to the National Register for Historic Places.
That's because of approval by the National Park Service, regarding the Southern Pacific/Amtrak Railroad Depot at 280 North Center Street in downtown Reno.
The Reno depot is the only structure in Nevada to be added to the National Register for Historic Places in this cycle of approvals.
The Southern Pacific Depot was first constructed in 1868 and played an important role in the creation of Reno and its development into a transportation center in the West.
On May 9, 2012, the Reno City Council unanimously approved the concept of renovating the historic part of the Depot into a new heritage center. Over the course of the next few years, the city will be working toward this goal. Earlier this year, the City of Reno received a Certified Local Government Grant from the Nevada State Historic Preservation Office in the amount of $29,900 to assist with the planning for the new heritage center.
The proposed heritage center would be located at the historic Amtrak Depot and will focus on educating residents and visitors about Reno's diverse historical resources through a variety of interactive formats, e.g. "audio clips," exhibits, and historical walking and bus tours. The heritage center also will serve as the base for programming related to the National Park Service's Teaching with Historic Places (TWHP) initiative. Programming to support the TWHP initiative will include displays and educational materials, as well as a new website which can serve as a hub for lesson plans dedicated to educating Washoe County School District students about historic properties and their broader cultural significance.

Teen Pulse Student Editor Tom Hanlon asked students, "What winter sports are you looking forward to?"
Today marks the first edition, of "The Pondering Column." Here I will discuss, reader- written questions, regarding morals, philosophy and belief.
Today's question is asked by Miles Baron: "Does some form of Karma exist?"
The short answer to this question is yes Karma — in some form — exists. Now let's get specific. Karma is the idea that, what someone does in the past (or present) will affect their future.
Essentially, if you do something good, something good will happen to you, or if you do something bad, something bad will happen to you. This progression is explained by one of two things, life or religion. Religiously speaking, most often, if someone does good in the world, they will be rewarded by their God (in a multitude of differing ways), resulting in a karmic exchange.
Alternatively, from the life point of view (essentially non-religious speculation for Karma), if someone does something good (or bad) in life, the good (or bad) will come back around. If a child hits a baseball into a neighbor's window and runs off, the neighbor will be irritated, at least.
On Wednesday, Los Alamos High School students in the Beginning Photography class, taught by Michelle Grove, were able to view all of their hard work in a gallery that displayed their projects from the semester.
Photographs were arranged on boards in the lobby area of LAHS, complemented by the artist's name and the technique used to produce the desired picture.
Beginning Photography instructs students on the fundamentals of photography emphasizing the black and white medium. For the class, students are required to use a 35 millimeter manual camera and learn to work in a dark room developing film, enlarging and printing negatives.
A negative reproduces a bright portion of a photograph as dark, and a dark portion as bright.
Beginning photography consists of two classes with a total of approximately 48 students. Grove is teaching her first semester at LAHS, but has taught the photography class at Los Alamos Middle School previously. "These kids have never really used a manual camera before. For the most part when I surveyed them, they've only really used their iPhone to take a picture," Grove said.
Monday: Birthday board

The Final Cut
LogicMonitor's David Powell shares his practical guide for channel success.
For HP And HPE partners, there's no question who is responsible one of the all-time great turnarounds in corporate history - Meg Whitman.
All of the recent paradigm shifts in IT pale in comparison to the Internet of Things, a transformation that requires solution providers to make significant investments in order to reap the rewards.
Linksys has long been known has a company capable of delivering enterprise-class products at SMB prices, but since being acquired by Belkin, it has significantly upped its investments in technology innovation and partner program improvement.
Solution providers that are not arming themselves with digital marketing demand generation expertise are at a serious risk of losing customers, and they might not even realize it until it's too late.
The strategic service provider shift is forcing cloud services companies, including Google, to step up to the plate with new channel models.
Tech vendors can learn a lot from the massive bets private equity firms are placing on the channel - an all-time high at more than $25 billion in 2016.
Placing a sharp focus on a no-holds-barred unique consulting methodology is key to the success of any and all solution providers in 2017.
When a major insurance provider had millions of dollars in policies put at risk because its IT department did not have a rigorous SOC 2 compliance report, it turned to one of the top MSPs in the Midwest.
NWN recently launched a new entity, NCapital, aimed at providing the financial muscle and technology know-how for customers to move to the cloud without making capital expenditures.
CRN's Steve Burke ranks the industry's top CEOs when it comes to communicating their sales strategy to channel partners.
86 percent of solution providers are planning to add a new vendor or a technology practice in 2016, but most vendors are in the dark when it comes to the partner's decision making process.
The strategic service provider era marks a major shift in the channel, one where the winners and losers will be determined by the ability to provide application modernization.
The key metrics necessary to succeed in the Strategic Service Provider era are diametrically opposed to the metrics in the solution provider era.
With a new channel 'A-Team' ready to execute on its vision, Symantec has the potential to go from a worst-to-first scenario now that it has sold off the Veritas storage business.
TekLinks metric for success is staying close to its customers and acting as a strategic solution provider for whatever is going to drive value in the increasingly complex cloud-hybrid IT era.
No matter how fast you are moving to transform your business in the cloud services era, the depressing reality is you are not moving fast enough.
If you need proof that the solution provider landscape is changing, look no further than the merger of Accuvant and FishNet, creating a $1.5 billion security giant with 1,400 employees.
An outdated channel view is preventing AWS from building the next-generation Web services that could power more business-class customers to move to the Amazon cloud.
The amount of new practices, products and recurring revenue services brought to market are the vital signs of a solution provider business. The solution providers that view cloud services as an opportunity to move fast and make big bets will be the ones left standing in the new era of IT.
No matter how you cut it, customer adoption of the cloud is happening at a faster pace than anyone anticipated, and it has all comers scrambling to play catch-up in what is sure to be an era of heightened channel conflict.
2014 has a new power protection Channel Champion, as Eaton takes the crown from APC by Schneider Electric after a 20-year run at the top.
Palo Alto Networks was built from the ground up as a 100 percent channel sales company and its channel sales team has made sure that its sales model is just as disruptive as its next-generation firewall.
For big time players like Michael Dell and Meg Whitman, success with the channel is personal.
The desire for customers to invest more in line-of-business, customer-facing offerings is driving more customers to outsource IT-telecom overhead to solution providers.
In response to the accelerating pace of change recasting the solution provider business model and the technology services choices facing the channel, CRN through its parent company started the BoB (Best of Breed) conference three years ago.
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos can be none too pleased that a company he invested in is doing business with Amazon Web Services rival HP.
Dimension Data is combining big investments in its branded cloud services with its own multivendor systems integration portfolio to give corporate customers what they're missing from Amazon Web Services.
Interested in in establishing a beachhead in the big data market? Pivotal CEO Paul Maritz offers solution providers a few thoughts on vertical expertise and education.
In the wake of high profile cloud outages, it's time for solution providers to take a critical look at their web services partner.

BERLIN – Too little rain last growing season has been succeeded this spring by too much, and some farmers in Worcester County are looking at replanting saturated fields.
Shirley Hastings, nutrient management advisor for the Worcester County agriculture extension office, said the effects of the record amounts of rain on county farmers varies according to their soil. Sources say soil types in Worcester County and across the Eastern Shore vary greatly.
"If they have sandier soil, it probably didn't drown them out," Hastings said. "In low lying areas, it holds the water in. All the shore soils are pretty different. Overall we're sandy but there's a lot of areas where it's low and there's heavier soil."
Hastings said that several farmers have told her that their fields are too saturated with rain to grow the seed they planted in April.
"They've got to get into the field and replant," said Hastings.
Seed from all kinds of plants, like the soybeans, corn and market vegetables planted by farmers, can be damaged and become moldy in waterlogged ground, preventing the seed from sprouting into a new plant or keeping sprouted plants from growing well.
The Worcester County extension office has usually begun testing cornfield soil by this time of the year to determine if the soil holds enough nutrients to fuel the young corn plants' early summer growth spurt, but has received no calls from farmers with the necessary six to 12-inch corn.
"At this point I don't have a farmer ready for us to come out," said Hastings.
May 2008 is the wettest May in 50 years and with another rainstorm could become the wettest May on record. Cold nights have also helped delay the corn crop.
"The corn's that up looks ugly. It's too cold for it. Tomatoes look like they've been run over," said Virgil Shockley, one farmer who will replant. "Most times I have sweet corn that's six to eight inches tall [by now]. Right now it looks like it's hardly come up. It's definitely not a good growing season so far…You can't even get in the darn field."
Whether the 2008 fall harvest will be good or disappointing cannot be predicted at this point, despite the poor start to the growing season. Warmer weather and enough rain at the right time could make a positive difference, while another year of drought could make a negative difference.
"It's all going to depend on what Mother Nature brings us. It's just a gamble every year," Hastings said.

The Historic Loveland Castle & Museum
The Historic Loveland Castle & Museum Chateau Laroche was built as an expression and reminder of the simple strength and rugged grandeur of the mighty men who lived when Knighthood was in flower. It was their knightly zeal for honor, valor and manly purity that lifted mankind out of the moral midnight of the dark ages and started it towards the gray dawn of human hope. Present human decadence proves a need for similar action. Already the ancient organization of Knights have been re-activated to save society. Any man of high ideas who wishes to help save civilization is invited to become a member of the Knights of the Golden Trail, whose only vows are the Ten Commandments. Chateau Laroche is the World headquarters and Residence of the K.O.G.T.

There is never a moment of boredom when you visit us.

About Sir Harry And the KOGT
Harry Delos Andrews April 5th 1890 - April 16th 1981
Harry objected to modern warfare - killing at a distance. He preferred sword-to-sword medieval combat. He served as a medic in World War I, contracted spinal meningitis, and was declared dead in 1918. By the time that he was declared undead -- six months later -- his fiancé had married another man. Harry seemed not to have minded, he stayed in Europe, visiting castles. He veered away from women, period. Having more than 50 marriage proposals later in life, he turned all of them down!
Did You Know Harry....
Drafted and served in the Army during WWI as a medic. He didn't object to war itself, he didn't like the weapons of modern warfare. So, Harry enlisted as a nurse.
Was the oldest living Notary Public in Ohio...and he never charged more than a quarter for his service.
Was a well published author, includi
ng a guide book he wrote at the bequest of the U.S. Immigration Department to aid those seeking citizenship. A copy of which is on display at the castle.
Graduated from Colgate University.
Also made the road you take down to the castle. Buses cannot make it down this road still today!
Grew vegetables year round in hotbeds of his own design. They were heated by railroad lanterns!
Hid his secret room in the garden. The entrance was one of the arches in the arch wall. It was only discovered after it collapsed from years of neglect...Even the knights didn't know it was there!
Had an amazing 189 I.Q.
All About the Knights of the Golden Trail
The history of the Knights of the Golden Trail, KOGT, is almost as fascinating as the Castle itself. The castle actually can be considered an afterthought, incredible as that seems. In the early 1920's one of Harry Andrews pet projects was his Sunday School / Boy Scout troop. He had a dozen or so boys that met regularly for Sunday School and Boy Scout activities. One of their favorite things was camping. As it happened; years ago the Cincinnati Enquirer, a local newspaper, had a promotion to establish a greater subscription base. If a person paid for a one year subscription in full, they received a plot of land on the banks on the Little Miami River in Loveland. Two of Harry's scouts, it turned out, had parents that took advantage of the Enquirer's offer and the donated the lots to Harry and his scouts. Harry and his scouts became regular visitors to the banks of the Little Miami. So much so that they took to leaving their gear at the campsite. But, between the elements, the wild animals and even people that stumbled upon their cache, their equipment constantly came out missing, damaged or unusable. Finally Harry had an idea, he would build two stone tents, to house their equipment and to provide shelter. If you have ever been a Scout you already know that each individual group, known as a troop, gave themselves appropriate names. Bears, Lions, Warriors are all typical examples. Harry's troop was named the Knights of the Golden Trail. Now standing back admiring the stone tents he had built for his Knights, it is easy to imagine Harry's 189 IQ clicking away...his Knights deserved a real Castle. The KOGT celebrated it's 75th Anniversary in February 2002!
KOGT Fun Facts....
Knights still guard the Castle to this day.
The Knights refuse to be part of pollution happening in the Little Miami River. They have been green for a long time before it was "Cool" to be green!
Every member of the Knights of the Golden Trail consider it an honor to carry on the traditions started years ago.
Sir Harry willed the castle and grounds to the knights upon his death at age 91 in 1981.

In the German Game room there are hand made games, like chess and checkers, plus puzzles that Sir Harry and the Knights have created. The fire-ring is perfect for a bonfire, though you may one to bring a little wood incase what you find around the Castle isn't suitable. It is also great for marshmallows and smores! Personally I have always felt that snipe hunts are great fun for new members to a group, but that's just me.

2012 Chevrolet Equinox
impala0169 Posts: 6
in Chevrolet
I just bought my nox a few weeks ago. Got a LT1 4 cyl and FWD. Now im wondering if I should have went with the 6 and AWD.
The mileage is not to bad. Getting 27-28 on the highway at 68 mph. Did get 29 plus at 55mph. City is about 22-23. Takes getting use to not gunning the car on take off from a stop.
Just the get up and go power is not what I felt on the test drive.I plan on a vacation into the mountains and thinking this is not going to make it up the hills.
Anybody else drive thru the mountains with the 4 cyl?
Anybody tow with this yet?How was it handling?
Thinking about doing my own oil changes.I will see the cost difference before I decide on that.
Love the ride and comfort.I heater is a bit noisy. But I can live with that.
I will check back and add to this as I drive it more.

cmhj2000 Se, Pa.Posts: 381Granted we've only had our 12 Nox LS FWD 4 cyl for a few weeks, but so far it's everything we thought.
Wife really likes it. Easier for her to drive and park than she originally thought. Dealer let us have one for an extended test drive one day. So we went around town, out on the turnpike for a bit, thru shopping centers etc. By the time we got back to the dealer some 70 miles and 3 hours later she said, "Sold".0
Does anyone have positive or negative input regarding the 2012 or 2011 equinox 6 cyl. SUV?0
rhouser2 Posts: 114we have been cross shopping the 2012 2LT equinox and the 2012 SLE 2 terrain. if you get the equiped the same the terrain is about $400 higher. am i missing something that is standard on the terrain , but not available on the equinox? could someone clear this up for me as i see no reason to spend $400 more just for the GMC logo. thanks0
We've had our 2012 2LT V6 for about 6 weeks. So far we like it a lot. The only thing that doesn't seem right is when you put it in reverse when it's overnight cold, it kind of jerks into gear. Only going into reverse and only once when the engine is cold. We dropped it off at the dealer one night and they checked it the following morning. They said it did not jerk for them. Why am I not surprised. I can see this being a lingering issue, but what do you do except take it back again until it does it. Otherwise this Equinox is a ton better than the old one. It has more power than the old one and gets about the same mileage.0
jonox Posts: 100Very important to warm up aluminum engines before driving, this may also solve your "jerk" issue.0
overtheedge Posts: 9The 6 Cylinder is teamed up with a 6 Speed Transmission that has been in production since 2006. This combination is very reliable, especially since the same transmission was designed to be used in the much larger/heavier Chevy Traverse. When the transmission oil is cold, it is much more viscous, which makes oil flow to the Rev Clutch more difficult. The "jerk" you feel is from clutch timing not being sequenced to the engine power. This cold shift is a "low energy" event in the transmission, and is not damaging. As the oil warms, oil flow is much more predictable for the transmission software, so you should have smoother shifts warm. The transmission software will also try to "adapt" to these events, and smooth them out over time. You should only be alarmed if you are getting "jerk" consistently when the transmission is warm.0
So far so good. Transmission a little sluggish. Need that extra pedal push.
Gas mileage was as advertised, but now I see it slipping a little bit.
Dash average showing 24, but actual calculation is 22.9.
Waiting for a long Interstate drive to see how close we come to the advertised mileage.
Driver side door seems to be noisey. you can really hear the other cars passing by.
Still getting used to the front end styling. Loose my point of reference.
Backing up is an issue with the rear window viewing. Need to look all around to make sure not going to hit something or someone.
Having said all this, quite sure we made the right decision to purchase this car.
Tom in Temple, TX0
We have only 6600 miles on our 2012 Equinox. Took in to the dealership to fix what we thought was an engine miss. ( at 1500 rpm with trans in park a real noticeable miss) It was diagnosed as a sever engine vibration. The dealership contacted GM tech support and was advised to R&R the harmonic balancer. This did not fix the problem and we got the car back untill GM comes up with a fix. We also found out that 4 other 2012 Equinox at another local dealership had the same problem one had tobe bought back by the dealer. Our service tech said it sounds like it might be a "fleet wide problem"
Any one else having these problems? It seems to be only in the 6 cylinder.0
grampsie Posts: 1I, Live in West Virginia and have a 2012 LS AWD 4 Cyl . It does find. I came up mountain at Mount Ary on I-77 with cruse set at 75 mph. Stayed at 75 in 5th gear.0
billgw1105 Posts: 1In order for you to be getting that good of mileage you must have the eco button on, turn it off for the mountians and I think you will be fine. You also could switch to manual shifting, with the buttons on the stick, takes some getting use to. Anyway, I love mine!0
skyetx Posts: 2Just brought the New LT2 home April 13,2012 and kept in nice cozy garage. I happen to see a spiderweb across my tailpipe.
I bent down to brush it away and noticed RUST ALL OVER the arms fixed to the exhaust on both sides of muffler. Even the screws used to attach the arms of tailpipes to muffler are rusted--screwhead and all. I have photos and will be contacting the dealer and Chevy.
Am i just being uninformed or lacking knowledge but this Cannot be Normal!
I know eventually metal does rust-especially the undercarriage of a vehicle but REALLY...at 2 weeks old?? And i am not in an area that runs damp or salty that would promote such damage.
Anyone else having Rusting problems with Brand New 2012 Equinox LT2?0
Just a little up date to our problem. After taken the car back to our dealer and having them check it out again. And comparing it to other new 6 cyl EQUINOX on the lot. They all seemed to have a engine vibration around 1500 rpm. Our service tech said it was not normal. After checking with GM was told by engineering that it was with in "Normal Parameters" and because there one only 1 complaint nothing could or would be done. So we are stuck with a saver vibration until some one else complains too.0
If I press the accelerator while in park, I noticed my 2012 6 cyl Nox has an unbalanced feeling at around 1500 RPM. I do not notice it while driving or when it's started cold. I don't plan to take it in unless I have another problem. I suspect the dealer will tell me it's normal. I don't plan to lose any sleep over it.0
2011blackeq Posts: 2Let me ask a question.....do you think they built it the day before you bought it?
You need to look at the build date of the vehicle. Also, it may be a combo of rail dust and the metal rusting. But remember, rust actually protects the metal and keeps it from deteriorating faster.
In other words, not a problem.0
petrichor Posts: 1Recently while shopping around for a new 2012 Chevy Equinox at three separate dealerships, I was shocked by the lack of product knowledge the salespeople had regarding the radio systems. I fully expected to demo the new Mylink radio which has Pandora and Stitcher but was told by each and every salesperson that the Colortouch (which does not have those features) is Mylink. One went so far as to tell me that Remote Link for Allstar is the same as Mylink!
So which one do you have and what did you think you were buying">?0
jpf Posts: 496It's unbelievable that so many car/truck salespersons are so poorly trained. I have purchased GM and Chrysler products for over 20 years. Frequently, I know more about the product than the salesperson. Anytime I buy a big ticket item, I spend several hours researching the product. The knowledge I gain from this basic research frequently is more than the salesperson's knowledge. I simply do not understand why companies do not train their sales staff better.0
salesman7 Posts: 1Better? I am a GM salesman. We don't get trained at all. Any training we get we have to do on our own. And when we are constantly busy with customers, have several different models of vehicles (Chevrelot, GMC, Buick, and others, plus every make and model of used vehicles on the lot) it is very difficult, if not impossible, to remember everything about every car. Try to take it easy on your salesperson. I assure you, they are trying very hard. Its not easy. Its alot easier for a consumer, interested in one or two vehicles, to do thorough research than it is for us to remember every available feature on every car.0
I bought my 2012 6cyl Nox on June 22, 2012. Within the first 1000 miles I noticed a terrible hesitation/stall as the car would go from a dead stop to full on acceleration right around 1500 rpm.
I found this out the hard way, almost having a wreck thinking I had all the power in the world to clear an intersection to have it hesitate and nearly stall with oncoming traffic....EEEK!
I also noticed that it would occasionally downshift very hard at times.
It has been in the shop for about two and a half weeks now and I am not having any of that Chevy Confidence feeling right now.
My service advisor says that they are ripping the tranny apart to see if they can find the issue and that they are working with GM on it.
We'll see what happens.0
godeacs Posts: 481Geez, sorry to hear that! After looking at the LS 4 cyl, I was just getting interested in the V-6 1LT version so I could tow a small camper. Now not so sure..... :confuse:
BTW, where in Texas are you and where did you buy your Equinox?0
I am in Corpus...and the dealer is Allen Samuels.
I do have to say that the dealership is working diligently to try to solve the problem. They have gone so far as to get the sales department involved again in case the problem can't be fixed.
As of tomorrow, the car will be in the shop for 3 weeks....my patience is still in abundant supply....but I am bummed.0
mdbrab7271 Posts: 1I have the same v6 in my 1LT and experience the same hesitation/hard downshifts - they are probably normal. I have noticed with the 6 speed trannies for better fuel economy, they are slower to respond and help slow the car down when you let off on the accelerator - I rent a lot and feel this a lot on GMs and Fords. The accelerator is a bummer, I had to really hoof it to beat out a Scion IQ. But I can live with the hard down-shift as I do not have to brake as much as I did before. However, to answer another person's question - if I were towing, I would certainly go with a v6!0
blink3038 Posts: 1Maybe this is something your management may want to figure out. Customers are concerned about making the best purchase, not how hard the salesperson is working. There isn't much sympathy on either side of the auto sales business. Good luck.0
Noticed today that the top of the cluster was extrememly hot to the touch. So hot, could not keep my hand on it. This does not seem normal to me. I have seen it mentioned one other time, but no answer. Anyone have any thoughts on this.
Tom in Texas........0
prbychristy Posts: 1Hi I really want to get a Chevy Equinox but I'm not sure of the year. Or even a 2013 model. And pros or cons would be greatful
dusty102 Posts: 1Purchased a 2012 Equinox 4 cyl AWD one month ago and live on a country gravel road. Dust is coming in the rear latch and the two rear doors. Dealer fixed and said it was excessive gaps in LH RH rear doors and liftgate seals. The adjusted all door strikers inward. Well guess what - it is still doing the same thing. Has anyone else had this problem and if so how did they solve it. Have talked to 3 other equinox 2012 or 2011 owners with the same problem. Is there a solution?0
rocketbob Posts: 23I have the same problem with my 2011 SLT2 Terrain. At low speeds when I
tramp on the accelerator, a real hesitation as if the engine is going to stall.
When i ease off and accelerate slowly the car speeds up smoothly.
Its as if the transmission gets lost between gears and the engine cuts the
fuel off. As usual, the dealer says they can find nothing wrong.
You would think they could reflash the computer chip and correct the problem0
I have a 2012 Equinox LT2 and love it. I had a 2011 and had some problems so I made a deal with my dealer and got a 2012. We took a trip to Boston from Milledgeville GA and got as high as 34.1 mpg at one point, going through Virginia. We averaged 30.7 on our trip back from Boston. We average 27.5 around town and driving from Macon to Milledgeville. The best I have done on short trips is 28.3 mpg. (It's all the way you drive.) The vehicle runs great, handles great and has adequate power to pass and do anything I need. We have received many comments from strangers regarding the looks of the vehicle. We have the red color and love it. Can't think of anything negative to say.0
smokey27 Posts: 1I have just purchased a 2012 Equinox with a 4 cyl. When I first crank the engine it runs rough for a few minutes. I have not completed my dealership survey until I see if this problem continues. Has anyone else had this problem?0
Good afternoon rocketbob,
Are you noticing this issue when you are traveling at speeds below 35 miles per hour? If so, and if I understand your post correctly, I would recommend adjusting your acceleration so as to only be pushing in the gas pedal about half way rather than all the way down (per p. 9-35 in the manual). If we can check into anything further, please let us know by sending an email at [email protected] (include the last 8 of your VIN and contact information along with your inquiry).
All the best,
GM Customer Service0
Congratulations on your Equinox, sonnyh777! We're so pleased to hear that you're enjoying it and wish you many more happy miles!

Sunday Sweets: Story Time!
Grab your blankies and cuddle up, kids! It's story time!
Now, what should we read tonight? Go, Dog, Go? Yeah ... that book is 62 pages long. How about we look at the cake version instead?
Don't you love how the wheels on Dog's car look like he's speeding away? Go, Dog! Go wherever you're going! (I don't know where that is, because I've never made it to the end of the book.)
Let's try again. If you really have your heart set on a dog book, how about this one: Who's big and red and ... um ... read all over?
By Sweetbakes
It's Clifford, the big red dog! But doesn't he make for a cute cake, too? He's probably chock full of red velvet cake under that big behind. Mmmm. Mama's getting hungry. Be right back.
*wiping cake crumbs off face* Thanks for waiting, kids; Mama, uh, had to make a phone call. Now, have you decided on a book yet? How about Tatty-Ratty?
You know what, never mind. That book reminds me of my own stuffed bunny that went missing when I was little. Ok, I was 19. Whatever, it was heartbreaking. Stop laughing, or you guys are going straight to bed.
You heard me, straight to bed! And I've got just the thing to lull you into slumber: Goodnight Moon. Seriously, this book has sedative powers.
But this cake will keep you awake, oohing and ahhing over all the cuteness. See the cow jumping over the moon? So tiny! And the sleepy widdle bunny! I love a book with a hoppy ending. (Har.)
Now, if you're in the mood for a moral with your story, there's always The Berenstain Bears.
They'll teach us to not talk to strangers, or how to take better care of our pets, or watch less TV, or use good manners ... but you already know all that junk, right? So let's just drool over this tasty looking cake instead. The whole gang's here!
(Except Queenie. She's such a brat!)
*yawn* Mama's getting tired, kids. Let's get this show on the road. How about if we read The Lorax?
By Erin Salerno
Or we could just wait and go see it in the theater. The movie looks really cute, and I'm not even getting paid to say that. But you know what else is cute? Everything on this cake: the Truffala tree, the bucket, the fish, the Lorax's mustache! Adorbs.
What else have we got? Howl's Moving Castle? Hmmm, I'm not familiar with this one.
However, if it's nearly as intense and detailed as this ridicul-awesome cake is, well, it's going to have to wait until tomorrow, kiddos. Mama's running out of gas. (How is all that cake being held up on those stick-legs? HOW?!)
Ok, now Olivia is one of my favorites!
How could you not love this sassy little pig? All dressed up in a strapless gown and her tiara? With pearly pink fondant skin? Oops, sorry, looks like I'm talking about cake again.
Back to the bookshelf. Let's see what you've picked out now. The Giving Tree!? Are you trying to send your dear old mother into a tailspin of depression? That is the saddest book of all time! Old Yeller has a happier ending!
Submitted by Alexandra L. and made by Tiffany's Baking Co.
But this cake will cheer me up - if you can even believe it's cake! That bark looks 100% real! And the moss! Selfless sacrifice to the point of utter destruction has never looked so tasty!
Anyway, let's aim for something that won't make me cry. Curious George is a fun read!
And an even funner cake! ("Funner" is not a real word, kids. Just thought we'd throw some education in here for a sec.) But let's talk about the cake some more: Isn't that the most spot-on representation of sweet little George that you've ever seen? (And it really puts this in perspective, don't you think?)
Ok, last try. The Very Hungry Caterpillar? Great choice! Short, sweet, and a surprise ending too:
By Cakes by Cat
Spoiler alert: The surprise is that the caterpillar turns into a butterfly. Just like the butterfly on top of this beautifully colorful cake! I mean just like it. It looks exactly like the one in the book, right?
Hey, are you guys even awake?
Ah, it's just as well; Mama's getting hungry again anyway.
Have a Sweet to nominate? Then send it to Sunday Sweets [at] Cake Wrecks [dot] com.

Bioneers Conference | "What's Sex Got to Do With It?"
On October 21, Worldwatch President Robert Engelman will participate in the 23rd annual Bioneers Conference. Taking place in San Rafael, California, the conference brings together social and natural scientists to discuss innovative solutions for a sustainable future. | Read more.
Engelman will speak on the "What's Sex Got to Do With It? Women, Population, and the Earth" panel:
"As global population exceeds 7 billion, and climate and social instabilities are on the rise, many believe we're exceeding Earth's carrying capacity. The pressure to change our social and ecological systems is ramping up, and women sit firmly at the center of it all. Yet who decides how population and reproductive rights change, and how? With such gross inequities and different perspectives as exist between the global North and the global South, the issue of population has long been a "third rail" in the environmental movement. Within the U.S., issues of reproductive rights, health and justice are surfacing painful political and social wounds, as well as cultural divides that are debilitating for our collective progress. Join us to navigate across a diverse spectrum of perspectives to explore and integrate anthropological, geopolitical, ecological and social identity impacts and narratives, while exploring how these various stories may find common ground"
Panelists include:
- Robert Engelman, author and President of Worldwatch Institute
- Eveline Shen, Executive Director of Forward Together
- John Seager, President of Population Connection
- Muadi Mukenge, Regional Director for Sub-Saharan Africa, Global Fund for Women
- Host: Anuja Mendiratta, philanthropic and non-profit consultant

The initiative's overall goals are to:
Scholastic is dedicated to responsible stewardship of the environment in all of our paper procurement practices, and while we aim to inspire a love of reading and learning in kids everywhere, we endeavor to produce materials responsibly. Our paper procurement policy extends purchasing preference to those products and suppliers that exhibit superior environmental performance, and that align with our goals.
The majority of Scholastic Book Clubs catalogs, which offer top-quality books and reading materials on a monthly basis to teachers and students in pre-school through high school, are now printed exclusively on FSC-certified paper.
