Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon Fuel System
I've had this vehicle for a year now. Its got about 70K on it and it hasnt been beaten. The problem im having is that I'm not getting the MPG's that its suppose to do, not even close its supposed to do 16 MPG for city driving and 21 MPG for hwy driving. I'm averaging in the summer around 13 MPG and less in the winter. All the things that I could do to help my fuel consumtion I did. Like add a new air filter, did a purge, flushed my oil a couple of times. I dont have big tires, I always try to keep my engine from reving over 2000 RPM. Is this normal? If not what is the solution? Thanks, Alex
The best fuel economy possible is the direct result of proper maintenance and good driving habits. Listed below are GM's recommendations to achieve the best mileage possible. The first group are things to consider for your vehicle, while the second are tips relating to your driving habits.
One of the major contributors to poor fuel economy are under inflated tires. Tires low with pressure create drag that the vehicle's powertrain must overcome, wasting dollars in fuel. Always keep your tires inflated to the proper pressure as shown on the vehicle placard. This not only serves to increase gas mileage but cuts down on tire wear, further decreasing your costs per mile.
A vehicle that has a dirty air filter can't efficiently draw air into the engine. This restriction forces the engine to expend energy to "breathe" wasting fuel in the process. Change recommendations are found in your vehicle Owner's Manual.
Always use the proper viscosity oil in your engine. Oil that has a higher than required viscosity will create more drag on the internal components of the engine causing more work for it, especially when cold. Each Owner's Manual contains information on the proper type of oil for your vehicle. Look for the "starburst" symbol on the front of the bottle, and the SM rating on the API circle on the back label. If you are in doubt, stop by your dealer for an oil change, and any other services required. Most current GM vehicles are equipped with oil life monitors to further assist on the "when" to change your oil. (Aveo/Wave/Optra/Epica currently do not have oil life monitors).
Note: GM Vehicles DO NOT require additional engine oil additives. Some additives may cause harmful effects to the internal seals and additionally void the terms of your vehicles New Car Warranty.
Purchasing higher than required octane fuel is a waste of money. Using higher octane fuels in a vehicle that only required regular unleaded fuel will neither increase performance nor improve gas mileage. In all cases refer to your owner's manual and ONLY use the octane rated fuel recommended for your vehicle.
Even though current GM vehicles have 100,000 mi (160,000 km) service intervals for spark plugs if your vehicle is at that point in its life, have the spark plugs changed to assure proper running and continued efficient, trouble free operation.
Avoid quick/full throttle acceleration from a standstill in town and high cruising speeds on the interstates. While the optimum MPG for highway cruising speed varies from vehicle to vehicle, faster is almost always worse. If your vehicle is equipped with a Driver Information Center that displays Instant Fuel Economy, select that readout and vary your cruising speed while on the highway. The display will change continuously with uphill and downhill sections but you should quickly be able to identify on level ground the speed range that your vehicle does the best in. Avoid leaving unnecessary items in your trunk. It takes power to move increased weight and that means more gasoline consumption and reduced performance. While the change may be slight, multiplied by thousands of miles, it all adds up. Your vehicle uses much more fuel when the engine is cold. This is especially true in the winter months when the engine will take the longest to warm up. Combine errands or trips so that the vehicle only needs to warm up once to encompass many different stops.
If you still believe you have a concern please visit a dealer. They will be able to look into the situation.

Hi Christina,
Thanks for the reply, I appreciate your time. Everything mentioned above has been addressed and I've also brought it to the dealership and I keep getting the same response I just received from you. Has there been any issues with the fuel injectors, could they be sending too much gasoline then necessary? I'm running out of ideas... Does anyone else have any issues with their Canyon?
shareholder Posts: 2Hi All,
I have a 2005 Colorado with 68K miles, the check engine light recently came on, it shows two codes, both P0442. Mine is an I5 engine 4WD, extended cab. I understand this indicates a leak in the evap ssytem, which the sensor checks by trying to hold vacuum. I replace the fuel cap to no avail. Does any one know of a way to defeat this sytem to make the Check engine light go off, like plug the line between the sensor and the tank?
I bought this truck new, it has been a troublesome vehicle, tire wear that seems to unfixable, water leaks, multiple elctrical problems. I should get 150k miles or 10 years with zero problems, very disappointed in this truck.
gmcustsvcsarah Posts: 1,964Good morning,
I understand your frustration, and can appreciate the fact that you are seeking to resolve these concerns on your own. If we could look and see if there are any open recalls or special coverages on your vehicle, we would be happy to do so if you were to email us the last 8 digits of your VIN.
I realize that working with a dealership is not an option at times, whether due to technical expertise or other factors. If you do decide to work with a dealership in the future, though, I just wanted to let you know that we would like to make sure that things go well. Just let us know through an email (preferably, if you could include your name and contact info, last 8 digits of your VIN, the name of your dealership and appointment information) and we'd be sure to follow up on that.
Happy Holidays,
GM Customer Service
I have 2004 Colorado Z71 Crew Cab With I5 engine and I'm experencing intermittent hesitation on acceleration, expecially when I first drive off after vehicle has been sitting for a while and cold. I have already experenced the Carbon Buildup in the Throttle body and I just cleaned that and I am still experencing the hesitation problem as if it is not getting fuel. After a few seconds it will continue acceleration. Anyone experenced this problem. P.S. Also the engine light comes on for a couple of days and then resets.
I have an 06 Chevy Colorado, bought it used with 50,000 miles. My husband and I have put about 10,000 miles on it and had no problems until a few months ago. We thought it was the fuses at first because the first time it wouldn't crank one of the fuses had come loose, it happened once more with the fuses so we replaced some of them. Have had issues where I couldn't get it to crank so my husband would drive home from work to only have it start up the first time he tries!! The probem has progressively gotten worse over the last few weeks, where it would happen every once in a while to where it was an everyday, nonstop thing. The last two weeks it has taken longer and longer to get the truck to start up with trying to start it in the ten minute intervals. This past week the time frame went to 15 to 30 minutes of trying to an hour and half sometimes two hours of trying till it would finally start. Three days ago my huband spent an hour and a half trying to get it to start doing the 10 min. of wait time, and it would start and then sputter out and die a few times before it finaly started up and ran just fine. Yesterday we tried it and after two hours of trying couldn't get it to start. So we had it towed to the dealership and it actually did the same thing there, it kept sputtering out and dying on them too! Mechanics are saying it is the fuel pump, that it isn't holding pressure, hooked it up to the machine and showed my husband the gauges and it really isn't! Has anyone else had the problem? I have scoured the forums and seen a lot of Colorados with starting issues but none that end like mine. Just wondering if it really is the fuel pump or should I still be worried about the Passlock system, we thought it was that at first too!
Oh the mechanics told us that the reason the fuel pump has gone bad is becaus its only driven around the city. I am a stay at home so only do around town driving. I had a Chrysler Mini Van for three years and thats all the driving it got exept for one trip to Florida, never had to replace anything on it!! Their reasonin just doesn't make any sense unless its a design flaw in the system!!
We're sorry to hear that you've encountered this starting issue with your Colorado. If you would like for us to follow up on this situation with your dealership, please email us at email@example.com (include your name and contact information, a summary of the situation, the last 8 digits of your VIN and mileage, and the name of your involved dealership).

hi dick28540:
i have a 04 Colorado, and the gas filter was very easy to change.
JUST BE SHURE, YOU BLEED THE HIGH PRESSURE OFF GAS LINE. BEFORE YOU UNHOOK ANYTHING. unplug the fuel pump FUSE, start the truck,let it DIE,
(or run out of gas). then and only then UNHOOK fuel lines from filter, which IS OUTSIDE,of gas tank. my 04 cost me $15.00 to buy, and my time.
MARKED ON THE FILTER. THE ARROW WILL BE POINTING (AWAY FROM THE TANK.) Now how simple can that be? and oh yes, PUT THE FUSE BACK IN.
THANK YOU repairagain:
i am having the same trouble with my 04 colorado, ck lite.
i have a NEW gas cap, replaced it in 2011, fixed the lite on. but now and then the ck lite will come on and stay on. and the gas pump will shoot gas out tank
if you stand too close. MUST BE THE BACK PRESSURE, I WILL ck my bleeder relay, on the canister. THANK YOU AGAIN.
ok you will love this problem,
seems evap system is faulty, but i saw the gas beening put into my truck,
and as the pump shut off automatic, i saw a gush of GAS behind the gas filler neck.
So i took off the rear splash shield, to see the FILLER tube, i cked it all, and could NOT find anything loose, or cracked, missing. So i shall watch the next fill up. with the shield OFF, IT DID GUSH BEHIND THE GAS FILLER DOOR.
I have experienced a similar problem with my 04 Colorado Z71 Crew Cab 3.5 I in the past couple of months. I have encountered a problem of not starting eventhough the engine turns over normally. After sitting for a few minutes and retrying, it started. The last time it took longer for it to start. I came on here to see if I could get some answers as to what was causing the problem. It is as though the ignition was turned off or fuel shut off. I was also concerned that it might be something to do with the security. Did replacing the fuel filter take care of your problem? If so, how expensive was it?

Spring Quilt Market 2012
21 comments:
Welcome home and thanks for sharing a bit of your time in KC! Looking forward to hearing all about it and all the new fabrics coming our way!ReplyDelete
Oklahoma! Great musical! But I would rather a day at quilt market! Maybe someday! Keep those pictures coming!ReplyDelete
Can't wait to see your photos of Market Amy!ReplyDelete
Happy you made it home safely. Looking forward to seeing more pics and hearing about your weekend. Smiles~BethReplyDelete
Oklahoma! And as far as quilting is concerned, everything is up to date in Kansas City. Can't wait to hear more about market!ReplyDelete
Can you explain what Sample Spree is? I've heard a lot of talk about it, but being new to the quilting community I don't quite understand. Is it open to the public?ReplyDeleteReplies
That is a great question - I wondered the same thing for years until I saw it first hand. It's basically a market where the various vendors (fabric companies, patters publishers, notions, etc.) sell their wares to the retailers at wholesale prices. You have to be a credentialed Market attendee to go, but a separate ticket is required. And the line is CRAZY long. I think people start getting in line 5 hours or so before it starts. But you get to buy the fabric industry's latest collections at wholesale prices, so that's definitely appealing. :)Delete
I did not go this year. It's definitely an experience to behold if you ever go.
Oklahoma! Was just on last weekend, caught my eye and I sat down and watched it. Glad you had fun!ReplyDelete
Looking forwards to your pictures :) Hope you have some good recovery time :)ReplyDelete
Can't wait to see!ReplyDelete
So glad you had a wonderful and inspiring time!! Look forward to the pictures!! xo HeatherReplyDelete
Can't wait to see all your pictures and here about all the great things you saw and did!ReplyDelete
oooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOK- lahoma... It's my dream to go to quilt market... someday. Might not be good for my wallet, though, to see all those fabrics in person. "I'm just a girl who can't say no." ;)ReplyDeleteReplies
Lol! Love all the fellow Oklahoma viewers out there! :)Delete
Welcome home Amy. So glad to hear you had such a wonderful time. I hope you get all the rest you need. Love ya.ReplyDelete
Lucky you! I wish I could have been there. Infact, I had planned on it until wedding plans were made for June 1st in New Zealand. I'm excited to see pictures and hear of your adventures.ReplyDelete
I sang that song the entire time I was there, too! My friends got tired of it.ReplyDelete
I went to quilt market for the first time last year also. Had so much fun, and spent way too much money. Loved seeing your picturesReplyDelete
YEAH Market photos!!! I am so excited! Be sure to get enough rest and have some time for yourself to reflect :-)ReplyDelete
Any pictures of the "other" Amy's booth?ReplyDelete
I am soooo jealous of all the ladies that are able to go to Quilt Market. Someday I hope to go. Maybe I should add that to my bucket list, LOL!!! It looks like soooo much fun!!!ReplyDelete

TRAINING: At this level all fights are tough and training is always very hard and done with full commitment. Two or three training sessions a day, be it in Boxing, BJJ, Wrestling, MMA, Muay Thai, S&C, etc, and the time in between is focused on resting and recovering for the next session, pretty much like a 24 hour a day job.
When and why did you start training for fighting? I did Judo when I was a kid, and I also did kung fu and karate when I was a teenager. After that I started training BJJ. I've been involved with martial arts since I was a child.
What ranks and titles have you held? Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt. My main titles in BJJ are three-time World Cup champion, two-time World Champion, Pan American champion 2006, ADCC champion 2007, ADCC 2nd place in 2005, Brazilian champion, 7x state champion, 4x Brazilian team champion.
Do you have any heroes? Rickson Gracie
What is your favorite technique? Submit my opponent without him hurting me or me hurting him.
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? A dream
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I did finish my college in 2001. I have degree in journalism.
What was your job before you started fighting? I was always teaching Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Tufts University has an innovative program in place to help ensure that incoming freshmen intent on engineering majors have every shot at success. The school's Bridge to Engineering Success at Tufts (BEST) program equips selected students with a summer of courses and workshops to help ease the transition from high school into the rigors of Tufts' first-year engineering program. With students nationwide switching from STEM majors into the humanities at an alarming rate, Tufts' solution is both timely and effective.

How's this for an influential science fair project: Last year, Ohio seventh graders Casey Gittelman and Eleanor Bishop investigated how well children and adults could distinguish candy from medicine. This past October, Gittelman traveled to the American Academy of Pediatrics national conference, held in Boston, to present the results. In a nutshell, they found that one in four of the children, and one in five of the teachers had difficulty distinguishing between pills and candy, with SweetTARTS mistaken for Mylanta, and SweeTARTS for Tums, among others. In addition, the girls looked at how people stored their medications. "Only about 10 percent said they stored their medicines appropriately," said Gittelman. "If people did keep medicines locked up, it would prevent a lot of unintentional ingestions."

A Nigerian School, Madonna Model Secondary School, emerged victorious from the recent International Science Fair competition in Brazil. Thirty-five countries competed in the competition.
The winning project was a bio-digester, designed for decomposing organic household waste and extracting gas for cooking. "We have been trying to get the project registered at the National Office for Technology Acquisition and Promotion and to see the possibility of having the bio-digester in many homes, said Desmond Achoakawa, coordinator for the the Society for the Promotion of Science and Technology. "This will reduce the dependence on kerosene and cooking gas, as the bio-digester provides an alternative for cooking at a very minimal cost since the required raw material is waste products."

The 2014 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S brings 50 extra ponies to Detroit
by Seyth Miersma (RSS feed) on Jan 14th, 2013 at 8:22AM
Porsche has announced a new version of its popular SUV today at the Detroit Auto Show: the 550-horsepower 2014 Cayenne Turbo S. This newly minted "flagship" of the Cayenne lineup is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.8-liter V8 engine, and offers 50 hp more than the Cayenne Turbo. Performance figures are impressive for the sleek utility vehicle: 0-60 miles per hour can be dashed off in 4.3 seconds, while maximum speed is rated at 175 mph. The Turbo S also gets dynamic chassis control, torque vectoring and Porsche's Sport Chrono package – all standard equipment. Visually the Cayenne... Read More

Our personalized kids Christmas gifts are going to be the highlight of the season. From baby Christmas gifts for the newest members of the family to gifts perfect for older kids and even pre-teens, our collection is sure to please. Because each of our gifts can be fully customized, you will be able to give something unique and beautiful this holiday season.
Imagine their delight when the children on your list open one of our personalized Christmas gifts for kids. The gifts from Santa will pale in comparison to our personalized pillows, plush friends, clothing, and wall hangings. Our kids Christmas gifts are made from the highest quality materials and feature trendy designs that are sure to appeal to even the pickiest child. If you are looking for Christmas gift ideas for kids, you have come to the right place.
Whether stuffed in the stocking or tucked under the tree, these holiday gifts help every kid celebrate the magic of Christmas. If you have a little one on your list this year, be sure to check out our baby Christmas gifts. With customized nursery décor, toys, and infant clothing, we are the only stop you need to make for baby Christmas gifts. Each of our kids Christmas gifts is unique and unlike anything you will find in the store. Stop looking for Christmas gift ideas for kids in all of the wrong places. Shop with us today to find Christmas gifts for kids of all ages.
Find the best in baby Christmas gifts from RedEnvelope's exclusive collection of personalized baby blankets, toys, and nursery décor. Baby's first Christmas only happens once, so be sure to celebrate this special occasion. Make it a merry Christmas for baby – and parents – by gifting personalized presents that will be treasured for many holidays to come.
When shopping for baby's first Christmas gifts, you should first consider how old the bundle of joy will be in December. The little one might be just a month or two old, but they could also be toddling around by then. Choose personalized baby gifts for infants, and unique children's toy gifts for bigger kids. If you're not sure, just select one of our many gifts that are appropriate for any age. A rocking horse snow globe, for example, will begin as a beautiful piece of personalized nursery décor. As children get older, the snow globe will become a source of fascination to spark their imaginations. Later, the snow globe becomes a treasured memento that harkens back to their baby days. An elegant music jewelry box or set of bookends has similar appeal!
It's usually best to shop for presents that the recipient wants or needs, like kids decor for their room or Christmas decor – but how do you know what baby is hoping Santa will bring? Baby's needs are pretty straightforward, so anything relating to sleeping, eating, or playing is perfect. RedEnvelope's twilight turtle and twilight ladybug nightlights provide a soothing glow that keeps kids safe from monsters under the bed and in the closet. Our adorable sleep sheep goes one step further, helping lull little ones to sleep with comforting sounds like ocean waves, whale songs, and mother's heartbeat. There's no need to count sheep when you can cuddle up with one instead! Another great choice for baby Christmas gifts is a soft, subtle cream cashmere baby blanket. The muted hue works with any color scheme, and the border can be personalized with baby's name and birthday.
Blankets aren't just for the crib; toddlers love to tote them around wherever they go! Give them a friend to snuggle with along with their blanket by selecting personalized baby gifts like our puppy finger blanket. A plush puppy is attached to a soft blankie, so kids have a cuddle buddy on hand at all times. RedEnvelope's baby elephant cuddling mat and personalizable monkey blanket and plush monkey are just some of the other animal options. You can also select a cuddly cub hooded baby robe, which arrives with a plush teddy bear friend. Baby and teddy will be wearing matching pink, yellow, or blue robes once this present is opened. Don't forget to check out the book 97 Ways to Make a Baby Laugh. It arrives with a stuffed teddy bear and nearly one hundred ways to crack kids up. Learn new games of peek-a-boo and funny faces that will bring on the baby giggles!
Commemorate baby's first Christmas in a unique way with an artistic Christmas gifts for kids from RedEnvelope. Our personalized toys and gifts for kidsinclude unique family handprint frames, which can capture baby's prints for posterity. We also have a kid's masterpiece art kit, which arrives with paints, a canvas, and a frame. Budding artists can make a finger-paint masterpiece for display each Christmas, or all year round. Our hexagon and heart of the garden stepping-stones make another great holiday craft gift. Kids can arrange the mosaic tiles and include their own hand or footprint for a garden accessory that can't be duplicated. A handprint canvas kit offers four canvas squares for prints. You can use one square each for baby's left and right hands and feet, or use one square per child in the family. You might even arrange your own handprint next to baby's to compare sizes.
These are all unique Christmas gift ideas, but don't forget – they work as Hanukkah gifts as well! Delight children this holiday season, no matter what you celebrate, with creative baby and kid's gifts from RedEnvelope.

Comments about Scramble Newaza Hoodie:
Awesome sweatshirt!It fits great and feels great.Its a plus that the green and yellow is a color of the A's.My two hang ups with it are the inside of the hood and the drawstrings are red giving it a kind of Rasta vibe that I'm not into.I didnt really see a heads up bout that before hand.Also, it was pricier than any other sweatshirt I've ever bought.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I bought this hoodie thinking that it was a lot higher quality than it actually was for the price. The material is thin, the interior not soft or particularly comfortable. It's not going to keep you warm. It's a really lightweight hoodie that isn't nearly worth the $70. It also fits extremely tight, even by "athletic fit" standards. I'd recommend ordering one size up at a minimum; if you want to be comfortable, maybe two. On the plus side, the colors are bright and vibrant and the print on the hoodie seems like it's pretty good quality.

First snow of season falls short of predictions
Although the first snowstorm of the season didn't drop quite as much snow as was predicted, there was enough to cause havoc on area roads and turn a dreary countryside into the white winter landscape.
A day after Christmas, the wintry storm moved into the area early on Wednesday and began to bear down on the area from the south and west. By noon, most of the area was blanketed with snow; enough to allow for white outs on area roads. At times, the snow was driven by winds in excess of 40 miles per hour.
Officially, 3.5 inches of snow fell on the Berne area, but much heavier amounts occurred just to the south and east of the area. Bluffton reported four inches while five inches was reported from the Portland area. Similar amounts were reported from the Fort Wayne area and parts of northeast Indiana and northwest Ohio.
Jeff Lehman, of Lehman Feed Mill, had said earlier that a good snow and freeze this winter would benefit area farmers, especially in light of compacting that had occurred in fall harvest. Melting snow, said Lehman, would help soften the soil and allow moisture to seep down for the spring planting season. In addition, snow would protect the wheat from any wind damage that occurs to the crop it if it was bare all winter.
Weather specialist Rick McCoy, Van Wert County, said that storm amounts were somewhat lower than predicted, although most of the local area had been predicted for 4-7 inches.
"The storm veered a little to the southeast and that made a lot of difference in the amounts of snow that occurred in the area," said McCoy. "It's amazing how much difference there is in just a small shift in the storm track. Most of the heavy snow that was slated for our area shifted just a little south."
McCoy noted that the Lima area received 9.5 inches of snow while 10 inches was common in the Celina area and around Mercer County. Dayton received eight inches and portions of the Indianapolis area received up to a foot.
"More significant than this storm itself is the fact that it is ushering in a large blast of Arctic air that could prevail into the middle of January," said McCoy. "This is undoubtedly going to be the coldest air of the season so far.
"One thing that has kept National Weather Service personnel guessing this winter has been the confusing signals coming from what appeared to be at one time a developing El Nino. That hasn't developed the way it was anticipated so it is more difficult to predict what the winter weather pattern will be, McCoy said.
McCoy said that the official long range forecast for the local area is for near normal temperatures and snowfall for the month of January. January, the coldest month of the year, averages highs of 31 degrees and lows of 16 degrees. It is also the snowiest month of the year with an average of 12 inches of the season snowfall total average of 32 inches coming in January.
The date most likely to have snow cover is Jan. 26, but that is simply on the average, said McCoy.
"One thing is certain, this winter is already off to a different start than last winter, or so it appears," said McCoy. "Every season has its own personality; it will be interesting to see what happens now that winter is officially here."

Photo Tutorial: How to Roast Beets
Sweet, tender, and packed full of earthy flavor, roasted beets are a stellar inclusion in a variety of salads, soups, and even pizza. But before we get carried away praising this oft-maligned root vegetable, let's first tackle how to roast them up with a minimum of stress and effort. A word to the wise: to make roasted beets a weeknight-friendly meal addition, roast up a big batch over the weekend when time is (relatively) plentiful and add them to dishes all week long.
Feeling inspired to create more delicious dishes with root vegetables? Check out these easy-to-prepare vegetable recipes.
By Nicole Perry
Rinse the Beets
Give the beets a good rinse. Scrub off any surface dirt with a vegetable brush, but do not peel. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Beets can be roasted at any temperature from 325-425 degrees F, making them flexible to roast alongside a host of other dishes; simply adjust cook time up or down accordingly if using a different temperature than 400 degrees F.

The Britax Safefix Plus Group 1 car seat can be installed in moments, either using a 3-point standard seat belt fitting or the ISOFIX system with safety indicators to confirm when hooks are engaged. A pivot link system reduces forward movement in the seat, alongside side impact protection, foot prop and a one-pull adjustable safety harness for security on the road.
The Britax Safefix Plus Group 1 car seat combines flexibility with a host of reassuring safety features. It installs with either your vehicle's ISOFIX points (with colour indicators to confirm when hooks are properly engaged) or a standard 3-point seat belt fitting. For additional stability it comes with a foot prop and pivot link system, limiting tilting and rotation when on the road. Mum and Dad will love the deep, softly padded side wings that provide optimum side impact protection for safety.
The one-pull adjustable safety harness is easy to use, while the height-adjustable headrest and harness and 4 recline positions adapt to your child's growth so they can travel in comfort. Its lightweight design makes it easier to transfer between cars, while the harness retainers make life simpler when it comes to taking precious passengers in and out.
For maximum hygiene and comfort, special ventilation channels let the air circulate and prevent your little one getting too hot. The covers are quick and easy to remove without having to unthread the harness.I come with
Bit of a Britax fan (had the Baby Safe SHRII in cow hide print, B-mobile and B-smart buggys.....mainly and purely because we fell in love with the design, safety and quality manufacture of the Britax B-smart buggy in the first place). Have found the car seats to be so well made, so functional, easy to use (once you've navigated the less so easy to use instructions!), robust and visually different and fun. Our daughter (1.5yrs) loves her new zebra print car seat and facing forwards now. Can't fault the product or Kiddicare customer services (car seat recommendations and general sales)
I love this seat. It is really easy to install, the fabric has a lovely feel and looks great and it's comfortable. The straps are very easy to adjust. The seat is heavy but I don't plan to take it out of the car so it's not an issue.
This car seat is perfect! The isofix fittings makes it easily fit into the back of my car, it is sturdy and very safe. The padding from the seat cover means that my little one will always be comfy, the adjustable headrest means that as he grows the chair will grow with him too! Fantasic buy (especially with the 20% discount weekend).
Can be fitted with both Isofix or seatbelt. The Isofix is a bit more complicated to fit if it is your first time, but it is a lot sturdier once fixed. If you have 2 cars, then get 2 seats as they are pretty heavy to swap between vehicles.

text: 4 Well worth seeingpipbee | 13/03/2012 | See all pipbee's reviews (7)Having thoroughly enjoyed reading Kathryn Stockett's brilliant book, I was keen to see how a film maker would convey this story of segregation in America during the 60s, and all in all, Tate Taylor has done a good job. I think the film lacks some of the impact and tension of the book; corners have had to be cut, but generally speaking the film remains faithful to the story line. Excellent performances from all the cast and visually it hits all the right notes. If you've read the book you may have some slight dissapointments, but this is still well worth seeing. If you haven't read the book, seeing the film first should in no way spoil your future enjoyment if you then go on to read the book as I would recommend. Nice to see the director explain his opinions and reasons for the two deleted scenes which are included on the disc. I think this film will be enjoyed by most people and hopefully provide some food for thought at the same time.

Instant Badminton Court
By backyard badminton family
from Prince George, BC
So nice to NOT have to struggle with trying to bury flimsy aluminum poles into the ground for the net. Our old net barely lasted a season. This net is easy to set up and we could adjust the height for my small 7 year old daughter by leaving out one of the extensions. It seems really stable too. We used the shuttlecocks and rackets from our old set as they were heavier gauge and higher quality. Looking forward to having this as a summertime family favourite for a long time!

It works okay but not perfect
By Rob W.
from London, ON Canada
It is a complete and portable badminton set. Great for kids and adults. It has two telescoping poles that stretch up and out and on the end of each of, I think five sections, are spring loaded clips that work in pairs like a vacuum hose snaps into place. However, all but one function as designed. One, near the base, is missing. It still works fine but it isn't as strong at that location. I might put a clamp of some kind on it. Possibly hose clamp might work.
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: If you need assistance with parts for this item, please call our customer service hotline at 1-800-321-1484 and one of our representatives will be happy to assist you.

Cleanser Exfoliante is very similar to the Cleanser Creme Luxe, and the same comments apply, except this version contains jojoba beads for mild exfoliation.
RéVive's first exfoliating cleanser contains gentle exfoliating beads that slough off dead, flaky, surface cells. The result is instantly fresher skin and a noticeably glowing complexion.

Without a doubt, the founder of ReVive, Dr. Gregory Bays Brown, has some impressive credentials. He is a board-certified general and plastic surgeon who trained at Vanderbilt, Harvard, and Emory Universities, and received his medical degree from the University of Louisville. Realizing there was considerable money to be made in the realm of doctor-designed skin care, he launched the ReVive brand in the late 1990s, and it is now known as "A Plastic Surgeon's Non-Surgical Approach to Beauty."
It is nothing less than perplexing that there are so many doctors, from Fredric Brandt to N.V. Perricone, Drs. Murad and Sobel, and Patricia Wexler, to name a few, all claiming that their skin-care products are the answers for aging consumers who are concerned about "going under the knife" or about making an appointment that involves use of a needle. Can every doctor cure your wrinkles? And which one is telling the truth? Simply put: None of them. What they are doing, to one degree or another, is misleading the consumer as to what their products can really do, and every physician on the planet knows this to be a fact.
Brown does have one point of difference from his competition because he is the only one who uses growth factors (GF) in all his products. He was originally all about Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), explained below, but now also offers products with Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF) and Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF), each explained in their respective product reviews. With all the company's talk about speeding up cellular renewal via growth factors and promises of luscious, dewy, youthful-looking skin, you may be wondering if this is a group of ingredients worth paying (a lot of money) for.
Growth factors are produced by the body to regulate various types of cell division. EGF stimulates cell division, primarily cell division of skin cells. There is quite a bit of research showing EGF to be helpful for wound and burn healing (Sources: Journal of Burn Care and Rehabilitation, March-April 2002, pages 116–125; Journal of Dermatologic Surgery and Oncology, July 1992, pages 604–606; Journal of Anatomy, July 2005, pages 67–78; International Wound Journal, June 2006, pages 123–130;and Tissue Engineering, January 2007, pages 21–28).
However, there is also research showing the effect EGF has is no different from that of a placebo, that it may not be effective at all, and that too much of it can actually prolong healing (Sources: Wounds, 2001, volume 13, number 2, pages 53–58; and Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, August 1995, pages 251–254, and September 1997, pages 657–664).
One study showed that EGF had anti-inflammatory properties when applied to skin (Source: Skin Pharmacology and Applied Skin Physiology, January-April 1999, pages 79–84), though it has also been noted that it may promote tumor growth (Source: Journal of Surgical Research, April 2002, pages 175–182).
In general, the potentially frightening consequences of growth factors can come into play when they are taken internally, as in certain cancer treatments (Interleukin and Interferon are GFs), because they can be highly mitogenic (causing cell division), and at certain concentrations and lengths of application can cause cells to overproliferate. This overabundance of cells causes problems, one result of which is cancer. No one is exactly certain what happens when EGFs are applied to healthy, intact skin, but there is concern that with repeated use EGFs can cause skin cells to overproduce, and that's not good (psoriasis is an example of what happens when skin cells overproduce).
All of the research that does exist on EGFs has primarily studied their short-term use for wound healing. ReVive's products aren't about wound healing or short-term use, but rather about ongoing application for wrinkles, and working against the reduced cell-turnover rate that occurs as we age. Moreover, what established research has shown (including most of the sources mentioned above) is that growth factors, including EGF, do not work alone. Rather, their function is part of an intricate symphony that requires the playing of several "notes" for the "concert" to be a success. Adding a tiny amount of EGF to skin-care products in the hopes that it will work like it does when applied to a wound is sort of like thinking you can frame a house with wood and use nothing to hold the beams together except wishful thinking. We suspect the EGFs that Brown uses are most likely not the active form of the "drug," because if they were the risk to skin would be scary (and the company admits the ingredient is engineered in a lab, which means it's not identical to the naturally occurring EGF).

Comments about Slip On Floor Protectors Set of 4:
Someday I'll remember to read reviews BEFORE I purchase. Those of you who gave these a good review must have very unique chairs. I don't see how these can stay put with all the stuffing inside and the loose elastic. I'm returning them immediately.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

Problem Solved !
By ladyceil
from Tennessee
I immediately put these on my bar stools and finally I don't have to be concerned about scratching the hardwood floors ! Much better that the stick -on kind. They so far have stayed put and don't come off with normal use.
Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend
Didn't work
By Linda
from Illinois
These chair leg covers would not stay on -- any movement of the chair whatsoever and they were falling off. There may be some chairs that these fit on, but they didn't fit mine.
Poor Design !
By Daniela Esthetician
from Chicago, IL
What was the manufacturer thinking?? The inside of these are so cushioned and has so much material, that the vinyl outside doesn't even matter. They hold just fine with the elastic, but elastic at the top is not all that's needed to hold these onto whatever you're putting them on. The feet of the chair you place these on side all over the place inside, so some are straight on the way they should be, while others are sitting on the side of the floor protector. It's not just "slip on", it's slip all over the place inside. Only worth buying if whatever you put these on will never have to be moved. Great concept, poor execution.
They do not stay properly

Using these as a "temporary" solution for our bathroom stool. We will be replacing the stool.
Not enough bang.
By Amy
from Tuskegee, AL
These are cute but they don't stay on my kitchen chair legs. I try to secure them with rubber bands but they still come off when pushing the chair back and forth to sit and get up from chair.

2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD is our favorite oil-burning GTI
by Zach Bowman (RSS feed) on Mar 5th, 2013 at 9:00PM
The 2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD has officially bowed at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. Engineers managed to squeeze an additional 14 horsepower and 22 pound-feet of torque out of the familiar 2.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engine, nudging total output to 184 hp and 280 lb-ft for 2014. The figures are good enough to earn the GTD the honor of being the most powerful diesel Golf in Volkswagen history. A start/stop system helps improve efficiency over the previous generation with the new model consuming 56 miles per gallon on the EU cycle. That's up from the 2013 model's 46 mpg. A six-speed...

Cycle of Development Cooperation Programme Management
Organisation of the aid programme is based on generally accepted international methodology using a logical sequence of instruments:
from this concept, which is the main document providing a framework for the Czech Development Cooperation programme;
to long-term programs for cooperation with selected prioritised countries in selected sectors;
to specific projects summarised in the annual plan of development projects;
to allocation of funds and actual implementation of development projects and, subsequently;
to monitoring of implementation of development projects which, together with their evaluation, provides a feedback for further planning of the aid programme.
Long-term Programs
Long-term (optimally three-year) programmes of cooperation are based on territorial as well as sectoral priorities defined in this Concept. These long-term programs of cooperation will consist of specific foreign aid projects. At the same time even the projects not included in wider ranging programs can be implemented as part of the Czech foreign aid program; however, these projects should not become the most prevalent projects in the bilateral foreign aid program. More importantly, proposals for the development programmes and projects should be based on the national strategies and needs of the individual aid-receiving partner countries. These strategies and needs should be continuously monitored and evaluated by the Development Centre (in Stage 2 by the Development Agency) in cooperation with particular implementation centres. The Czech Government at the proposal of the MFA will approve suitable long-term programs (together with estimate for necessary funding). Their later implementation will be then funded according to foreign aid annual plans (in Stage 1) and, subsequently, the funds for their implementation will be allocated according the multi-year funding system, which will be introduced in Stage 2.
Proposals for long-term programmes and specific projects might also be presented by other departments and State administration agencies, NGOs, Czech Embassies abroad, relevant institutions in aid-receiving countries and other Czech, foreign or international bodies. Specific projects, either those implemented independently or as part of the long-term programs, will be in Stage 1 assessed by the Development Centre and, following their assessment during the inter-departmental meetings, in the form of an annual foreign aid plan submitted by the Minister of Foreign Affairs to the Czech Government for approval. The submitted plan should also include evaluation of the projects implemented in the previous year. In Stage 2 the project proposals will be evaluated by the Development Agency, approved by the Agency's Steering Committee. While the compatibility of the proposed projects with the territorial and sectoral priorities of the Czech foreign aid programme is basically essential precondition for their assessment, the main criteria for their approval are quality, relevance, effectiveness and sustainability.
Project Funding and Implementation
Implementation of projects in Stage 1 will be a responsibility of a particular implementation centre appointed in accordance with current legislation. Implementation centres will be appointed subject to tendering procedures. After the approval of the annual foreign aid plan by the Czech Government, the funds for the project will be transferred from the State budget via the appropriate funds administration channels to the particular department and from there to the relevant implementation centre. In Stage 2 it will be essential to transform the system of funding into a new multi-year funding system, with the funds for individual projects to be directly allocated by the Development Agency. This new system of funding will allow transfer of funds not only to the individual project developing departments but also directly to the implementation centres. Under the new system which will start operating in Stage 2, the Development Agency will start using the system for accreditation of selected implementation centres, especially those run by NGOs. The accreditation process itself, which will have to be transparent and conducted according to approved criteria, will not only allow to conduct tendering procedures separately for each project but will also provide opportunity for a long-term cooperation with approved selected institutions in the area of foreign and also humanitarian aid.
Monitoring and Evaluation
Apart from the actual project developers and implementers, Development Centre (in Stage 1) and Development Agency (in Stage 2) will continuously carry out the process of monitoring and evaluating implementation of projects. Evaluation will help to improve the Czech foreign aid concept and provide feedback for preparation of new programs and projects, also providing basis for informing the general public about the Czech foreign aid program. This evaluation will be carried out using appropriate evaluation and statistical methods and in cooperation with the aid-receiving party. It is essential to ensure that evaluation process will be completely transparent and that will be open to a separate evaluation carried out independently by international institutions and NGOs. The subjects of evaluation process will be specific foreign aid projects, long-term programs of cooperation, relevant territories and sectors and the entire concept of the Czech foreign aid programme; this evaluation will be particularly important before commencing implementation of the Stage 2. The general criteria for evaluation, basically the same as the criteria for evaluating proposals for foreign aid projects, include the following:
relevance - comparing result achieved with the set targets and principles of the Czech foreign aid programs and the actual needs of an aid-receiving country;
effectiveness - comparing project inputs with project outputs (including the funding);
sustainability - assessing the levels of contribution made by a specific project during and after its implementation.
