Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon ABS Fault Issues
We're glad to hear that the dealership helped you get to the bottom of the brake concern you had been having on your Colorado. Keep us posted if anything should come up as we're available to follow up on this with you and your dealership (we can be reached via email at email@example.com and ask that you include your name and contact information, as well as a summary of the situation and the last 8 digits of your VIN).
Sarah, GM Customer Service
I used to think that GM. the manufacturer, and their dealers, were the biggest deceivers and tellers of 'woppers' till I started to pay attention to the ads, news videos and debates of the upcoming candidates for public office. Not everyone can be right and then blame the other for being wrong!
So, congratulations GM, you're now in second place of the biggest liars in the USA. GM says in response to ABS complaints, " There's nothing wrong with your ABS system; it just has worn out parts like other wear and tear parts, like tires and brake pads, that must be replaced over time." I say, OK, but how long should brake system parts (not pads) last and how should we know they are 'worn out' before we die on the road from BRAKE FAILURE. Even brake pads have a 'squeeler' to warn us of worn 'pads'. Shouldn't sensors and hubs last for more than 35,000 to 40,000 miles; brake pads (and practically all of the over 10,000 other parts) do.
How is that?
Mine intermittently fail. Probably about once a month. It is a sensor and I believe it is the right front but I have never been able to catch it. The dealership was absolutely useless othe that to say for big bucks they woudl replace both front hubs an sensors. I reseated both front sensors a couple of years ago and that pretty much took care of it except for the once a month failure.
The last time it failed I was doing 55 and the alarm went off and I looked down to see the message. While doing that I did not see the light in front of me change to red. When I looked up again and saw the red light, I nailed the brakes forgetting that I now had no ABS and put the truck sideways into the middle of the intersection. I hit nothing so the only damage was some flat spots on my tires.
In 19 pages of postings here we have beat this subject to death. GM will not fix it and so we will live with it. A quick inventory of replacement hubs and sensors sold by them for these trucks would easily establish that there is a problem. They are not interested. It is a dead product that is no long sold and the manufacturing plant is closed down so do not expect much from them. There is a follow on truck scheduled for next year being to be made in Missouri. All one can hope for is a redesign of this area on the new product.
marroe Posts: 7Let me correct that- General Motors= Lemon
I was hesitant in buying my Colorado because of previous issues with General Motors. My wife commented that the Colorado was a "piece of crap" after test driving a brand new one at the dealership. No more General Motors products for the rest of my life. This Colorado is the last one.
Don't get me wrong, there is so much to love about these trucks. I still love mine. It just keeps giving me more and more reasons to hate it. ABS issues, power windows may or may not work, had the leaky third brake light, a quart of oil per tank of gas, radio and speakers have a mind of their own, etc... I filed with the NTSB because of the ABS problem. Now I can not get rid of it because my VIN number is associated with a known problem and the CarFax tells the story to the world. No one wants to give me anything for it. I will just keep it for when it snows or I need to haul something on the weekend. It is way too unreliable as a daily driver. Luckily I can afford a second car and I learned to drive in the snow before ABS brakes existed. Never another GM product. (Which really sucks since I am part owner of the company as a US Taxpayer)
Please everyone, be safe. This is a dangerous defect that we will have to live or die with.
We all have all the same problems due to GM design flaws. I have discovered by trial and error (including your errors), that if your brakes stop functioning 'normally', which was never that good when they do work, I simply pull off the road turn off the motor sit for about 25 seconds and then restart. This will most times reset the ABS and the brakes function again without the horrible sounds, fading and the blinking "ABS" light. I say this means it is not physical worn out parts, but simply (like so many other issues) an electrical design blunder.
GM has paid back their Bailout Loan with all of their 'corner cutting' schemes, at our expense. EXAMPLE: All of the high rear mount Brake Light Assembly leaks are because they made the assembly INCORRECTLY: Foam gasket (what a joke). only two screws (one on each end) on an extra long light unit with insufficient pressure to seal water out. All of these require the consumer to get parts and labor from the dealer, who splits the profit with GM. GM stands for "Greed Mongers". As described by The Free Dictionary. com:
greed (grd)
An excessive desire to acquire or possess more than what one needs or deserves, especially with respect to material wealth
mon·ger (mnggr, mng-)
1. A dealer in a specific commodity. Often used in combination: an ironmonger.
2. A person promoting something undesirable or discreditable. Often used in combination: a scandalmonger; a warmonger.
I too have just had to get a new hub to fix this. While in I also needed to get a NYS inspection which the vehicle failed, On-board computer was not ready to be tested. Service department told me to drive the truck 100 miles or so to clear it, 10 miles later I get a check engine light....now I need to get a head replaced. The dealership has been super nice which leads me to believe somethings up...then again if somebody just paid me $1,000 and was on the hook for another $2,200 I'd be super nice too.
There is a 7 year 100,00 mile coverage on that head. GM had a problem with a lot of them due to soft valve seats and they extended warranty. Ask the dealer, better yet tell the dealer, because some of them act like thy never heard about it. Be carefull about dealer add ons if you do get warranty coverage. Some dealerships have been padding the bill with non-warranty items and charging the owner.
If the dealership acts stupid on this, call the GM 1-800 number in your owner's manual or post again here and I'll go find the letter that GM sent out.
jv4needs Posts: 1I had several problems with my 06 Chevy Colorado. Recently, i am showing abs faults, communication problems, MAF sensor and a couple of others. I also have my heater blower only working on high. I changed the resistor twice and still the same. i learned to deal with it but enough is enough, i also had a sunroof install when i purchased my car and that is now recalled. I am looking for assistance. i would like help from Chevy with the lemon I was sold by one of their dealerships. I dont want to play an arm and a leg to repair items that both the dealership and GM corp. both know is faulty and refuse to recall so the consumer pay out of pocket for the repairs. Boycotts, protests and bad publicity is never good. Who wants to lose a paying customer, especially during this economy. Motor companies are already making cut backs. NO more Pontiac or Saturn, what brand is next!!!!
Have you already contacted Customer Assistance? If not and you would like for us to check into this further, please email us at email@example.com with more information (including your name and contact information, the last 8 digits of your VIN and mileage, and a summary of the situation).
Sarah, GM Customer Service
The blower motor circuit is the most common posting on the Colorado forums. A new thread gets started there at least once a week on this problem. One of the threads was reported to be 60 pages long. Another was 38 pages the last time I looked at it a few years ago. We got so tired of typing the same responses to the problem over and over that I put together a summary response here:
http://coloradofans.com/forums/67-technical-questions-tips-how/146173-question-a- bout-blower-motor.html#post1876908
I see you replaced the resistor twice. Did you also replace the cable that includes the connector for the resistor? Was the pins on either the resistor or the connector burned brown? GM has had so many failures of this assembly that they also offer a repair cable with a new connector. These parts are also available in the after market on sites like on Rock Auto. The cable is a simple replacement.
If the connector and resistor pins are OK, and the resistor is not burned but is indeed open, then there is a little fuse like component as part of the resistor assembly. If that is what it blowing then you are drawing too much current through the resistor assembly. This draw is caused by a bad bearing in the fan motor or a restriction dragging down the fan. If replacing the resistor is all you need to get it going again with no burned pins, then I suggest in the future that you do not use position #3. That position draws the most current through the resistor assembly. Position #4 bypasses the resistor assembly completely so 1, 2, and 4 are safe to use. Also removing and lubing the fan motor bearings or replacing the fan motor might be in order.
Here is a link to the wiring diagram for the blower motor:
Oh yes, we also have a GM customer service person monitoring over on the Colorado forum. He is as useless as the one here. It may be the same person using a different name. If not, it probably is the same department.
I can not help you on the MAF or Communications problems.
ABS / Traction Control problems are the second most common failure. This almost always is the front wheel sensor or sensors. You can usually fix those by simply tapping on the back of them with a plastic hammer to re-seat them. If that does not do it, then replacement is in order. Again after market parts are much cheaper and available for this high failure item. Check Rock Auto or your favorite auto parts store for the sensors without having to buy the whole hub like GM dealers usually sell.
bluetex Posts: 8Just be aware that "your GM rep" will ask for your info and then do nothing. This has been going on for years with this junk. No recalls just lip service. I recomend you try to sell it or scrap it and never by any gm, gmc, chevy what ever. There are way better vehicles out there and their reps listen to you and get things fixed but not gm. I'll never own another. Your'e wasting your time with these folks. Keep fixing it yourself and write it off. Oh how many times have you had to replace your'e tail lite module? Thats another thing. Brick Anti-GM from now on. Proud owner now of 2 toyotas no problems for years they run like a top.
Do you know how nice it would be to see a posting here from someone saying:
"I contacted the GM rep on my blower motor resistor failure. They shipped a new resistor and cable assembly to my local dealer with instructions to install them for free. I was in and out in 30 minutes and my blower works fine now."
The real value of the whole thing would be around $40.00 retail in parts and 15 minutes labor).
I'm just dreaming I know but this is all it would take to get some real good PR for them.
I would even happier to see them do something like this with the wheel sensors and the evap vent valve. The evap vent valve is available for $15 in the after market and takes about 1/2 hour to install.
I just woke up and realized it was all just a dream. Oh well, one can dream can't they.
General Motors has pocketed $5 billion in net profit
GM replace or fix an American Product Faulty Part?
Not going to happen. GM is losing the American "loyalist" due to their poor quality products, poor quality PR and Customer follow up, and poor "Loyalty to the loyal customer". They build them and don't back them. They throw most of their profits to business growth opportunity gambles in Opel Europe and the Asian market; waste 39 million per year on a soccer promotion, but don't replace $15 faulty American GM auto parts and simply give Americans the lip service and European sports the GM profits, Now, GM, who bought the products that paid the profits in the past to make you so BIG?

For the third year, I made it through Blogathon! Made it without falling asleep or becoming (completely) deranged. And with your help, we managed to raise over $4,000 for the Secular Student Alliance. How awesome is that?
Thanks to everyone who donated, suggested ideas, spread the word, and kept me company in the comments. And thanks to my friends who helped keep me awake in addition to supplying me with pizza and cookies. In turned into an impromptu party here at La Casa de Blag Hag. You guys are awesome.
I'll post an official Blogathon total once everyone has a final chance to donate. I think some people were possibly donating based on the content of my posts, so I want them to have time to count up the number of times I said kumquat or whatever they chose to keep track of. Well, hopefully they weren't looking for the word kumquat, because I didn't exactly use it very much. But just in case: kumquat, kumquat, kumquat.

HOLLAND, Ohio – In a modest suburb, on a modest street, sits the modest ranch-style home of "Joe the Plumber." The Holland, Ohio resident whose name was bandied about at last night's presidential debate more than twenty times.
If the powers that be had their wits about 'em they'd name a street after him. Joe's Way perhaps. Maybe they could make it a one way street leading to the local H&R Block franchise.
|VIDEO: 'Joe the Plumber' steals the show
Today it is all Joe from coast to coast as we all scramble to find out how he's doing while his fifteen minutes flash by.
Now this leafy neighborhood festooned with pumpkins and decorations is living its own private Halloween – complete with satellite trucks, bright lights and journalists pounding on doors trick or treating for tidbits of information.
|VIDEO: 'Joe the Plumber' speaks out
So far, Joe remains amazed at being thrust into the spotlight. Let's see how long that lasts.

I report the latest in health, nutrition, wellness and healthy travel.
Hot on the heels of the announcement that Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton, The Duchess of Cambridge, are expecting the heir to the British royal throne came the news that Kate has been hospitalized with hyperemesis gravidarum.
In fact, the announcement of the royal pregnancy and Kate's hospital admission were made together, suggesting that possibly the palace would have waited longer to make the official announcement if Kate's hospitalization hadn't made that impossible.
So what is this illness so suddenly in the headlines? Attempting a rough translation from the Latin provides a basic description – it means serious vomiting, or acute morning sickness.
Of course, this begs the answer, how can morning sickness be so serious? After all, 50 percent of all pregnant women experience queasiness, nausea, vomiting and lack of appetite. And while extremely unpleasant, morning sickness isn't deadly.
Well, actually, it can be, if a woman can't get it under control on her own. As with any kind of extreme gastrointestinal illness, vomiting to the point that it leads to extreme dehydration can be quite dangerous. Left untreated, hyperemesis gravidarum can result in premature birth or low birth weight, and extreme continual vomiting can tear the esophagus. If electrolytes become unbalanced, the result can be dizziness and eventually, heart damage.
But primarily it's the dehydration and malnutrition resulting from hyperemesis gravidarum that most urgently require treatment. This is the same reason people die of heat illness – beyond a certain point, dehydration puts organs like the kidneys and liver under dangerous strain. Jane Eyre author Charlotte Bronte died of severe dehydration resulting from hyperemesis gravidarum in the fourth month of her first and only pregnancy; today, with IV fluids available, the condition is treatable.
Hyperemesis gravidarum is quite rare; only two percent of all pregnant women experience symptoms this severe, according to the Honor Society of Nursing. Kate Middleton is 30, like her husband, which, while in the middle range for pregnancy age, makes morning sickness more likely. Studies show that older moms typically have more problems with morning sickness and other pregnancy-related health issues than younger women.
According to news reports, the Duchess will be hospitalized for several more days, then will be put on bed rest for an additional period. (I've been asked by readers to give Kate's full married name and title. It's Her Royal Highness Princess William, Duchess of Cambridge, Countess of Strathearn, Baroness Carrickfergus.)
The good news is that hyperemesis gravidarum primarily affects women in the first trimester of pregnancy, when morning sickness is typically the worst. In some cases it can last through the 21st week, however, and in very rare cases right up through birth. Also, studies show that morning sickness lessens the chances of miscarriage, according to researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Also, it was noted in British press reports that Kate appeared fine in a public appearance on Friday and was photographed eating a meal, so it seems she has not been suffering the severe symptoms for long. She arrived at the hospital in a car, not an ambulance, another good sign.

Please get facts straight….The child if a girl would be Queen of Britain NOT just England The British Isles are made up of Scotland England Ireland and Wales.
This country is called Great Britain – not England.
HG is not "acute morning sickness". It has nothing to do with morning sickness, and conflating HG, a dangerous disease, with morning sickness is a disservice to your readers and shoddy journalism.
Please do some proper research and update your article. You'll find a lot of great info at http://www.helpher.org
Or, you could just read the first sentence on Wikipedia which reads, "Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is a severe form of nausea and vomiting in pregnancy that is different from the more common nausea and vomiting known as morning sickness."
I didn't say that you confused the two, but that you conflated them. See you did it right here,
"So what is this illness so suddenly in the headlines? Attempting a rough translation from the Latin provides a basic description – it means serious vomiting, or acute morning sickness."
Hyperemesis is Greek, actually. It translates to "excessive vomiting". Gravidarum is the Latin feminine genitive plural form of an adjective which here translates to "of pregnant women". Just another couple facts you could have found on Wikipedia.
The problem is exactly that you are using morning sickness as a reference point. HG is not morning sickness, nor is it like or related to morning sickness. It is offensive to HG survivors, who have gone through pregnancies with their friends telling them to try some ginger candies while they spend their days lying next to a toilet, to use HG and morning sickness in the same breath.
I encourage you to check out this interview with the founder of Help Her http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=50136344n and to spend some time at helpher.org to get some perpesctive.
Little baby, I love you
For you are a part of me
Each and every inch you'll grow
I want to be there to see.
Someday you'll chase fireflies
Who ride the breath of the winds.
Someday you'll be all grown up
And out on the town with friends.
You have your daddy 's freckles
You've got your mommy's eyes.
I pray to God every day
You'll survive all of life's lies.
Little babies shoot up fast
As they need to stretch and grow.
They do such things as children do
In a world they've yet to know.
Someday you will understand
How your parents feel inside
Someday you'll have your babies
And raise them with great pride.
Of all the gifts that life may bring
A sweet baby is still the best.
Your mom and I shall love you
Till the day we're laid to rest.

Melanie, Thank you for writing this article. I think that it is better than most I have seen, however I do find it quite confusing on some fronts. You say that women with morning sickness have a lower chance of misscarriage, but this is not true at all for women with HG. I feel that you should have made that clear. If Kate doesn't get proper care and hydration she could lose her baby. Also, it is not rare for a women to suffer HG for more than 21 weeks. I am part of a HG support group and the majority of the women have suffered for the full 9 months. For me, it got better around week 20 and then peaked again at week 30.
I hope you understand why some are being critical of your article. Imagine finding out that you are pregnant and being so excited, and then all the sudden you are deathly ill.. you throw up over 20 times a day and can't even dress or shower yourself. Then you have people telling you "Oh it's just morning sickness" this illness completely ruins your pregnancy.
Thanks for reading!
This is ridiculous…I am sick of hearing about kate middleton, and her ridiculous title there are so many more important things to focus on in this world… she's just another everyday average person…honestly she really is not better than anyone else in the world pfft…. why not focus on overpopulation and how we are going to run out of drinking water by 2030? Or how the planet is heating up and what can everyone do to make the world a better place and promote world peace?
Hi Melanie,
I read through the comments and appreciate how carefully you responded to them. I made an account just to be able to post a comment here, myself. I understand both why Adam Sentz was upset and why you felt the need to defend your piece as written. But I don't find it shoddy, I think the issue is finding a balance between causing too much fear and making sure women get help if they need it.
I am also a survivor of HG. There were many close calls. This paragraph:
The good news is that hyperemesis gravidarum primarily affects women in the first trimester of pregnancy, when morning sickness is typically the worst. In some cases it can last through the 21st week, however, and in very rare cases right up through birth. Also, studies show that morning sickness lessens the chances of miscarriage, according to researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
is the only one I think that could be misconstrued. I urge you to include the link:
and encourage women to check for themselves if they have concerns and questions. The site is Hyperemesis Education and Research and is for mothers, families, and doctors.

Ease of Use
I'm a 20 year old female college student. I'm currently on generic Wellbutrin SR, 150 mg twice a day (8 hrs apart). I have been on this medication for 4 weeks now, following a 2 week horror period on Lexapro.

On March 2, Corey Law played his final home game in a High Point jersey on Senior Night in a 63-62 win against Campbell. At that time, Law thought he had no options in basketball after he graduated from High Point and was already looking for jobs in the criminal justice field.
After winning a fan vote to participate in the NCAA slam dunk contest on April 5 as a dark horse candidate, the 6-foot-4, 215-pounder was drafted by the Harlem Globetrotters.
As a kid, I always wanted to see them, Law said. I never got to see them, but I remember one time when I was 13 I watched them on TV and I couldnt take my eyes off. I never thought I would have a chance to be a part of that.
The Globetrotters also selected college slam dunk champ Doug Anderson of Detroit, NAIA All-American Tyrone Davis of Northwood University along with WNBA player Brittney Griner and New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera as honorary members.
While Law said he felt blessed to have the chance to play for the Globetrotters, he is still looking into other alternatives that have also come along since the dunk contest.
Ive been working out and keeping my options open, Law said. My agent has been talking to some teams overseas and now I might have this opportunity with the Globetrotters. Im looking for the best opportunity.
The first person Law reached out to from the Globetrotters following the draft was Raleigh native John Jet Williams. The two played against each other during Williams junior and senior seasons at UNC-Asheville.
Williams finished second in the 2011 slam dunk contest and was the most feared dunker in the Big South Conference before Law took over that title the past two seasons.
We were the two guys in the conference that everyone was afraid to get dunked on by, Law said with a laugh. I always wanted to get a chance to dunk on each other and now we might be teammates. When I first talked to him after getting the news he was giving me the ins and outs of everything.
The former high flyer for the Panthers was nicknamed Superman by his teammates for his dunk prior to the season in which he dunked with a cape on. As for a nickname with the Globetrotters, Law believes it will be something to do with his last name and his degree in criminal justice.
Law said that type of laid back atmosphere is why the Globetrotters might be his best opportunity.
Everyone who knows me knows that this is the perfect place for me, he said. Everyone knows Im a pretty funny dude and I can be a little entertaining at times. I was all excited when I got the call because I want to be able to work on some of the ball tricks and stuff that they do.

This was a pricey restaurant but
worth it for a special occasions. Great food and ambiance. The service was amazing."
Dined on 4/25/2014
A great fine dining experience in
a beautiful setting with excellent food and service. Wine list had many good options but not as extensive as I expected for hearty reds to accompany steaks. The extremely thick bone-in strip was cooked exactly to order - which meant the mid-rare was actually too red in the middle and more like a rare output. No criticism of the kitchen - just wish we had thought about that when ordering. I love hot, red centers but this was a tiny bit too rare. The bone in ribeye was superb at a mid-rare+. A bit pricey but a good value and I would definitely recommend and return! "

Always delicious. Also, when I
make reservations here, they have a note that I prefer booth seating. They always take very good care of me."
Dined on 4/18/2014
Excellent service! Amazing food!
We really loved how they took care of us on our special day"
Dined on 4/17/2014
Our second visit, the first being
excellent. Our server was outstanding. We told up front that he was new but was very attentive. Unfortunately we were seated adjacent to the serving and kitchen area with all the accompanying noise and clatter of pots and pans. If I were to visit again I would simply refuse this seating area. Food overall a disappointment especially compared to our initial visit. Our salads were bland and lacked any originality. My steak was significantly overcooked, and the sautéed spinach with unevenly finished. The rosemary and garlic sautéed onions were excellent. With the other steak houses available in Nashville is doubtful I would return to Flemings. A meal this expensive should be something extraordinary."
Dined on 4/15/2014
I always enjoy when the food
matches the service and the price. One of my faves for romantic dining."
Dined on 4/12/2014
have eaten at Fleming's before but
this meal we the best steak/lobster meal I have eaten in Nashville."
Dined on 4/12/2014
Our waiter was only in his 6th
shift but was very well educated and trained. Great dinning experience!"
Dined on 4/11/2014
My friends and I went to Flemings
for the great steaks. Much to our surprise they have an amazing Seafood Tower Appetizer. The wine list was extensive and we found a perfect bottle to go with our steaks. Overall a great experience."
Dined on 4/3/2014
We love Fleming's for special
occasions. You always get top line food and service it is truly a five star experience."
Dined on 4/1/2014
Overall good experience. Nice
place, very solid service. Pricey. Most of the meal was very good and met expectations. The one issue was the BBQ shrimp appetizer was inconsistent... some shrimp over-cooked, some under. Not sure how they pulled that off. And it was lukewarm when it arrived. I should have sent back but I was tired and didn't want to deal. I will give them another shot though based on the service, décor and other food we had."
Dined on 3/31/2014
Food was good but service
struggled. I will say that mgmt. was quick to make things right. It was great to see a place that knows when they make a mistake and fix it. Thanks again"
Dined on 3/30/2014
Our server, Brian, was excellent.
He was very patient, attentive, and happy to make wine or meal suggestions when requested. He didn't steer us wrong. Everything we ordered was delicious."
Dined on 3/29/2014
Justin provided exceptional
service. Very nice anniversary surprise at the end of the meal. High marks for quality and service."
Dined on 3/29/2014
The steaks are good, not the best
in town, and sadly I felt some of our side dishes stole the show."
Dined on 3/28/2014
I am so happy the plates are
really hot now that the steak comes out on, it keeps the steak hot throughout the meal. That was the biggest reason I go to Ruth's is because the steak is hot the whole time. I take my time and enjoy the filet and don't want to have to race against the clock of a cold steak. Thank you! Also really enjoyed sampling 2 oz of three different wines - great idea."
Dined on 3/23/2014
Our server, Brian, was excellent,
and made the meal for us. The food was excellent and prepared well, and service was exceptional. We felt valued and had a wonderful dinner. Thank you to everyone who contributed from front desk hostesses to chef's to management to bus help and food runners and especially Brian."
Dined on 3/22/2014
We booked this restaurant for
quiet, upscale dinner after a long day in a conference. The front desk staff helped us move our reservation back 45 minutes due to travel constraints, which was appreciated. We initially were being seated by a very loud bar area and requested to be moved further away, which was handled easily. Our server Brian was accomodating and understanding, delivering excellent service and wonderful food. His mid-meal suggestion on a dessert that would take awhile to prepare was accepted and appreciated. Overall, a very nice dinner with excellent service. We would certainly return and recommend anyone looking for an excellent meal to try this restaurant out! Ask for Brian..."
Dined on 3/21/2014
We like Flemings and we went
because Amex sent us a $40 coupon. The food, service and wine is all excellent. But with steaks at $55 + $10 sides, it is not a cheap place to eat. Pity."
Dined on 3/21/2014
We hit Fleming's to celebrate my
wife's birthday. They did their typically great job. Fleming's has an excellent happy hour concept, where they offer wine/cocktails/beer at special prices, along with a nice assortment of munchies. We went with the baked brie, and it was very good. For dinner we took advantage of their steak/lobster tail special. It was an excellent filet. Service was top-notch. As expected, prices were in line with the quality of food and service. But I guess it falls into the category of "you get what you pay for". They do a fine job. I just wish I could afford to go more often. Thanks for a great meal."
Dined on 3/19/2014
The food is always excellent and
the service top-notch. It is a bit pricey but if it's a special occasion then well worth it."
Dined on 3/14/2014
Great service and food. We had a
large party and enjoyed the food, drink and the night"
Dined on 3/13/2014
I was once again very pleased with
our choice in selecting Fleming's. It was our first night here in Nashville and I wanted it to be a special outing for my wife and I . Fleming's didn't disappoint, we were very pleased."
Dined on 3/11/2014
My wife revisited Flemings as it
had been 3-4 years. We both agreed, why hadnt we been back in awhile. We will be back very soon once again. The service, food and attention to details were outstanding. They even threw in few unexpected perks which always keeps you coming back. Thank you Flemings for making the evning perfect."
Dined on 3/8/2014
We went to Flemings for my wife's
birthday, and are very happy we did so. While not a big steak person, my wife was blown away by the service provided by the Fleming's staff. I believe that at least 4 staff members wished her a happy birthday, some of which were not even waiting on our table. We had a great time. The food was excellent. We will definitely be going back."
Dined on 3/8/2014
From the greeting at the host's
station to the final bite of a fresh dessert, dining at Fleming's is a cut above the rest. Start at the bar where you can enjoy a wide variety of creative cocktails and bar bites.. They change the happy hour menu frequently so one can enjoy different creations on every visit. The wait staff is courteous, knowledgeable, prompt and helpful in helping you to select from a large variety of entrees and sides. It doesn't get any better than that."
Dined on 3/8/2014
Great food and service, excellent
on both. Be prepared to pay for both though. It is all alacarte and you will pay accordingly for them. Steaks were excellent as well as salads and the flemming potatos are great. Plan on dropping $200 for dinner and drinks for two with your tip."
Dined on 2/28/2014
we have been here several times
the food and service are always great. you must try the chocolate lava cake."
Dined on 2/26/2014
It was my first time at Fleming's
- I'm not much of a beef eater, so I enjoyed the chicken. It was very moist and flavorful and had been expertly deboned. Our group had the asparagus as well as a loaded baked potato. Overall it was a nice meal and I would return."
Dined on 2/19/2014
We were celebrating my daughter's
21st birthday and had a group of 7. Our reservation was for 7:30pm but were told they were "running behind" It took us 10 minutes to be seated. We were placed at a nice round table but we were in the transit lane from the kitchen which was very disrupting everytime the staff swished by the chairs - which was a lot. Our waiter was very pleasant and personable but couldn't undo the fact that it took us ONE HOUR to have drink orders filled and food orders placed. It was another THIRTY minutes before our food ordered arrived. Yes, we arrived at the restaurant at 7:30pm, seated by 7:45pm and our food arrived at 9:00pm!! The wait time aside, the food was delicious and I would go again."
Dined on 2/15/2014
We arrived on time for our
reservation. The table was ready even though the restaurant was packed. Everyone whom we dealt with was more than pleasant. Everything we ordered was delicious. So glad we went here."
Dined on 2/15/2014
The overall experience cannot be
beat anywhere in Nashville. The food is superb and service is outstanding. On this night I had proposed to my girlfriend prior to going out to dinner and Fleming's topped it off perfectly. It is a night she and I will remember for a lifetime and we plan on returning for another wonderful experience."

My fiance and I went to Fleming's

This is our 2nd visit to Flemings.
It never disappoints. Definitely the bes filet I've ever had!"
Dined on 2/14/2014
THe atmoshpere was very nice,
elegant. Alhough this was a special occasion so it was a packed house. I like a finely cooked steak, but mine was overcooked, and really had no flavor....for a very expensive steak, it was disappointing. The sides for the price were also disappointing. Maybe just an off night for them, but with so many restauarants in Nashville, I probably won't go back. I wil say the staff were very friendly."
Dined on 2/14/2014
Our waitress was awesome!! In
fact, everyone was great, every detail was met."
Dined on 2/14/2014
Flemings in Nashville has been in
the same location for years. My family has dined there, we have had couples parties there, and we have been there for special occasions many times. However, I have not dined there in about two years. I was very surprised to see that now the menu is scaled up. They offer dry aged Steak entree, as well as other fine cuts. The thing that makes Flemings excel in my opinion is not the steaks. Actually it is all the a la cart items which are superb. The Flemings Potatoes are one of a kind. The service at Flemings is also a notch higher than previous as we had two separate people come to the table and talk to us about our satisfaction level."
Dined on 2/14/2014
The service and the food was
outstanding. I left with no doubt as to why it is so highly ranked among restaurants in Nashville!"

2 Guard vets seek adjutant general jobBy WILSON RING
THE Associated Press | December 10,2012MONTPELIER The race to become the next adjutant general of the Vermont National Guard kicked off Friday when a long-serving Air Guard general and a former Army Guard general said they would each seek election to the post in the upcoming session of the state Legislature.
There is still time for other candidates to join the race to succeed Adjutant Gen. Thomas Drew, who is not seeking re-election. But so far Air Guard Brig. Gen. Steven Cray, of Essex Junction, and former Army Guard Brig. Gen. Jonathan Farnham are the only announced candidates.
If no other candidates emerge, the race between Cray and Farnham sets up a race between the two long-time colleagues and representatives of the two branches of the 4,000-member Vermont National Guard.
Both men are graduates of the University of Vermont and both were commissioned as officers in the early 1980s. Both have served overseas during the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan and both have experience with the guards role in responding to state emergencies.
Ive spent a career getting the necessary education, the necessary leadership positions, deploying, things like that to make myself a candidate, Cray said.
Farnham left the military arm of the guard in the spring of 2011 after serving a yearlong deployment in Afghanistan as a general officer and now works as a civilian employee of the guard. He said hes served in almost every leadership position the guard has.
Ive commanded at every level in the guard, Farnham said.
In Vermont, the adjutant general is chosen by a paper ballot of the 180 members of the Legislature. This year the vote is scheduled for Feb. 21. Both Cray and Farnham said they had already begun speaking with lawmakers about their candidacies.
The winner will succeed Maj. Gen. Thomas Drew, who assumed the job last summer after former Adjutant General Michael Dubie resigned to take a Homeland Security job.
The election comes at a time when the guard is facing challenges of the end of its combat roles in Iraq and Afghanistan while the U.S. defense establishment is facing an uncertain financial future.
I think the biggest challenge facing us is the fiscal challenges facing our nation and how the pressures of that is going to affect our Department of Defense, Cray said. Weve already seen that type of pressure from the Air Force being applied to the Air National Guard, and we expect the same to happen on the Army side in the next couple of years.
Farnham echoed concern about the financial challenges facing the guard. He also said he wants to make sure that the states veterans and their families are taken care of and that the guard is ready for the next conflict.
Some of these younger men and women, its going to be a challenge to keep them focused on whats over the next horizon, Farnham said. Its easy to get ready when you know you are going overseas. We want to maintain that edge.MORE IN This Just InRICHARD'S POOR ALMANACK: 2nd president John Adams signs Sedition Act on this day in 1798 providing jail time for criticizing the government; Jerry Rubin, co-creator of the Yippies, American activist, political theorist, businessman, born this day in 1938. 0Rutland Herald content editor Rich Alcott uploads astronomic, historic and epigrammatic content...

Kurt Sorge Claims Victory At 2012 Red Bull Rampage
Canadian Kurt Sorge came away with the victory at the 2012 Red Bull Rampage in Virgin, Utah. With over 2,000 fans lining the course in the Southern Utah desert, Sorge nailed a pair of gutsy performances, beating out some tough competition. Sorge's second run proved crucial to his victory as he beat out competitors who threw down a handful of backflips and other gutsy tricks. Also, Oakley riders made up five of the top ten finishers. The seventh edition of the highly anticipated event did not disappoint as some of the best mountain bikers in the world soared to new heights and conquered the highest start in the event's history.
Sorge, one of the stars of the new Red Bull mountain bike film Where the Trail Ends, threw down an impressive second run which included a superman over a massive jump and a monster backflip before heading down the hill with style off the Oakley Icon Sender, into the dirt quaterpipe below. The ride was enough to beat out second place finisher Antoine Bizet who also threw a huge backflip near the top of his highest-scoring run. Unfortunately for Bizet however, Sorge's score of 86.75 was no match in the end for his 74.00. Sorge stood by anxiously in the coral waiting for the last riders to come down from the giant course to see if his top score would hold up. That it did, and his friends and family swarmed him, lifting the Canadian high above their shoulders, saluting the champ.
"Today has been stressful and good," Sorge said. "Stressful and then good."
The riders at the 2012 Red Bull Rampage were as impressed with the course as the casual onlookers. Some even described it as terrifying. The event was definitely the most bold and daring edition in it's history and it proved effective in the riders' performances. The new and improved Oakley Icon Sender was also a huge success, with many riders choosing to launch off one of the three options of this year's feature. Oakley is proud to have been a part of yet another successful Red Bull Rampage. Congratulations to Kurt on his gutsy winning ride and to all the other Oakley riders who braved the Southern Utah desert this past weekend.
In case you missed the event in person or the webcast online, highlights of the 2012 Red Bull Rampage will be broadcast as part of the Red Bull Signature Series on NBC on December 8th at 2pm ET.

Running in the new year in Chitterne
12:12pm Wednesday 2nd January 2013 in News By Hannah White
THE new year began with a triathlon for residents of Chitterne inspired by the sporting success of London 2012.
Villagers got together in costumes at midday on New Year's Day to swim The Cut, a river in the village, cycle around the sports field and then run to The Kings Head pub.
Overall champion was Emma Ayling, and Nigel Dean won best costume.
The event helped raise money for Louie's S.M.I.L.E.S. which was set up by the parents of ten-year-old Louie Coldwell from Chitterne who died in February last year from a rare form of cancer.
The charity raises money to buy toys for children undergoing treatment at Salisbury District Hospital.

Research facilities can stop wasting money, water, time, and productivity today
Cooling systems can create a steady flow of cool water at a precise temperature for research equipment, which helps prevent emergency shutdowns.
The Cannon Design Products Group recently worked with a confidential client needing to cool large research equipment still relying on once-through cooling. Working with the organization, we helped them realize they were wasting more than 2.6 million gallons of water annually and $16,000 in water and sewer costs on just ONE of the pieces they needed to cool. Fortunately, our team was able to introduce the organization to the eVap 1500 cooling system and immediately eliminate this waste – making both the facility and our world as a whole more sustainable.
The eVap Cooling Systems is able to use the existing water loop and create a steady flow of cool water at exactly the temperature and pressure the research equipment needs. The cooling system keeps the fluid separate, clean and can even use special fluid developed by 3m that does not conduct electricity.
How can this system increase productivity in research environments? It ensures that when city water main supplies encounter breaks or other challenges that cut off the flow of water to the building – research equipment won't require emergency shut downs. It also eliminates the risk of flooding, another major risk in laboratories that rely on once-through cooling.
Our team encounters organizations like this – those still relying on once-through cooling and wasting resources – and we recognize they no longer must accept these dated standards. Research institutions can and should begin using the innovative eVap technology immediately to save money, water, time and productivity.
