2014 chevy equinox reviews edmunds8/13/2023 ![]() EPA fuel economy estimates are 26 mpg combined (22 mpg city/32 mpg highway) and with front-wheel drive and 23 mpg combined (20 mpg city/29 mpg highway) with all-wheel drive. In Edmunds testing, a front-wheel-drive Equinox with the four-cylinder engine accelerated from zero to 60 mph in 9.3 seconds, an average number for this segment. A 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that puts out 182 horsepower and 172 pound-feet of torque is standard across the model lineup, as are a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. ![]() The 2014 Chevrolet Equinox is offered with one of two powertrains. Other options include 19-inch chrome-clad alloy wheels (LTZ V6 only), a sunroof, a navigation system (2LT and LTZ) and a dual-screen rear-seat entertainment system (LTZ only). Some of the standard features on upper trim levels are bundled into option packages that can be added to the less expensive models. LTZ models equipped with the V6 engine also get firmer suspension tuning. ![]() Springing for the top-of-the-line LTZ gets you some nice extras, including 18-inch chromed alloy wheels, a power liftgate, rear parking sensors, leather upholstery, an eight-way power passenger seat, driver memory settings and a lane departure warning system with forward collision alert. Moving up to the 2LT gets you foglights, remote start, automatic climate control, heated front seats, an eight-way power driver seat, an auto-dimming rearview mirror and a Pioneer sound system with eight speakers. The 1LT adds heated mirrors, rear privacy glass, roof rack side rails, premium cloth upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a rearview camera and an upgraded audio system that has a 7-inch touchscreen (Chevy's MyLink interface), Bluetooth audio connectivity, voice controls and smartphone integration for Internet radio apps such as Pandora. The LT trim level is actually split into two subsets: 1LT and 2LT. Standard equipment on the entry-level LS includes 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlights, keyless entry, air-conditioning, cloth upholstery, a driver seat with power height adjustment, a 60/40-split second-row seat that slides and reclines, cruise control, a trip computer, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel with audio controls, Bluetooth phone connectivity, OnStar communications and a six-speaker sound system with a CD player, satellite radio, an auxiliary audio input jack and a USB/iPod interface. The 2014 Chevrolet Equinox is a compact crossover SUV that's offered in three trim levels: LS, LT and LTZ. But all things considered, the 2014 Chevrolet Equinox is definitely worth a look, particularly if you're interested in a small crossover with a truly upscale interior and a V6 engine option. Shoppers looking for a more entertaining driving experience will also want to look at sportier models like the Ford Escape, Mazda CX-5 or Volkswagen Tiguan. If practicality is your top priority, you'd be wise to check out the roomier and multitalented Honda CR-V or perhaps the Kia Sorento, which also has a V6 option plus an available third-row seat. Handling isn't a strong suit for the Equinox either, and its steering isn't very precise even by budget crossover SUV standards. It has solid EPA fuel economy ratings, but out in the real world, we've been underwhelmed by both its performance and its fuel economy. Less impressive is the Equinox's 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that's standard on all trim levels. Plus, we like that the Equinox's rear seat both reclines and slides back to give second-row occupants first-class legroom. This small Chevrolet doesn't offer quite as much cargo capacity as some rivals, but there's still enough to deal with the typical items that most people will be looking to haul. The Equinox also gets a thumbs-up for its overall ride comfort and the quietness of its cabin. This leaves the Equinox (plus its GMC twin, the Terrain) as one of only a few models in 2014 that offers six-cylinder grunt for towing or hauling or merely to satisfy your desire for speed. More and more automakers are dropping the optional V6s from their small crossover lineups due to fuel economy concerns or a claimed lack of consumer demand. High on the Equinox's positive attribute list is the availability of a strong V6 engine. Compared to some more recently introduced or redesigned models, the 2014 Chevy Equinox isn't quite as desirable as it once was, but it's still a model you'll likely want to take a look at if you're shopping for a compact crossover. Since its introduction back in 2010, the Chevrolet Equinox has been one of our favorite small crossover SUVs thanks to its combination of good looks, comfort and practicality.

Get er done dumpsters8/13/2023 But I would consume almost fifty percent of grocery store waste. I wouldn't consider personally consuming ninety percent of residential food waste. Still, there are plenty of times when the grocery store dumpster is full of discarded sheetrock, or the bookstore dumpster contains the discarded remains of an employee potluck dinner. A restaurant is a mix of "paper" and "organic," in widely-varying ratios, while an appliance repair shop could be almost fifty percent miscellaneous. A bookstore is almost ninety percent paper, in the form of discarded books and cardboard boxes. A grocery store dumpster, for example, is about twenty percent organic and about eighty percent plastic and paper. ![]() Of course, that is a very broad overview of a complex and beautiful mountain of stuff. For example, framed pictures, still-working Christmas lights, boxes of telephone equipment. METAL makes up roughly ten percent, and another ten percent could be considered MISCELLANEOUS. But we choose to bury and burn the stuff like it's mutant ooze. Good to eat, good to feed animals, or good for fertilizer. food waste, Christmas trees, lawn trimmings, dead parakeets, etc. Of the remaining fifty percent, thirty percent is "organic" in nature, i.e.So, by basically ignoring this crap, half your work is done right there. Half the waste is packaging, mostly plastic and paper.Now, do you suppose that over the course of a year the average person throws out one or two things you could use? Well, every day one or two useful items are sitting out there is those dumpsters. So if two dumpsters sit outside an apartment complex containing three hundred and sixty five, every day each of those dumpsters will "represent" the yearly waste of your average apartment resident. Ten to fifteen pounds a day for every man, woman and child.But here's my best summary of TOTAL WASTE. The government is more concerned with counting other things. I've searched for statistics on American garbage and found most to be confused, cloudy, and contradictory. And I've chosen the word "waste" deliberately. Is the wealth really out there? Yes, yes, YES! Americans represent only six percent of the world's population, yet we produce almost half the world's waste. Everything you salvage - whether for personal use or sale - adds to your stockpile of wealth, compounds little advantages to your personal economy. That's where YOU, the extraordinarily clearheaded dumpster diver, enter the picture. ![]() He gets all confused sometimes and discards some of his good stuff, believing it to be crap. Your average American can distinguish between good stuff and crap - but just barely. The average American's head - I'm convinced - is a lot like his dumpster. Mostly, I learn people are dissatisfied, confused, and waste a great deal of energy. Just as I rarely go diving without finding something, I rarely return without learning something. Amazingly, they discard their goods and tenaciously accumulate debts.ĭumpster diving clears your head of a lot of bullshit. So even "non-essential" property contributes to your overall well-being.īut many Americans don't have a "safety net" of property. For example, I could hock my television to buy my wife medicine. Even for the well-to-do, property represents safety, health, well-being. I saw little kids develop pneumonia for lack of a warm winter jacket. I grew up elbow to elbow with people who experienced stark poverty. Material possessions are easy to take for granted until you don't have something you need and can't acquire it. Drag queen makeup peach8/13/2023 ![]() There are similar bills attempting to outlaw drag performances across the country, all in a right-wing conservative effort to silence and other the LGBTQ community. These bills would ban transgender karaoke singers or any performances with cross-gender casting, including Shakespearean plays and numerous musicals. In March, Texas state Republicans introduced four bills that would reclassify any businesses that host drag shows as “sexually oriented businesses” and subject them to higher taxes and zoning laws that could potentially put them out of business. This “outrage” from parents is a smaller layer of a much bigger issue the United States is facing right now when it comes to LGBTQIA rights. There is zero sexual content in the play, although the abusive aunts are ultimately crushed to death by the giant peach (but the parents seem to take no issue with that.) He escapes from them in a giant peach inhabited by friendly insects. The story of James and the Giant Peach is about a seven-year-old orphan forced to live with two abusive aunts. “People pick things up and love to spread hate,” Udden said. However, she is concerned for the safety of the actors amidst the backlash. Udden added that the school cancellations has not yet negatively impacted the theater, saying, "Nobody has asked for their money back.” ![]() We do not do drag in our theater for youth.” “Every theater in the world has men playing women and women playing men. “Except for a few characters in the show, they're all insects for heaven's sake. Rebecca Udden - the executive artistic director for the nonprofit theater - said the controversy is rooted in misinformed concerns about cross-gender-casting. They’re not interested in any agendas or anything else anyone thinks is going on.” ![]() The amazing thing is the kids just believe the story. “That has happened since the creation of theater 1,000 years ago. You are going to see men playing women and women playing men sometimes, absolutely,” she said. In another post, the Instagram account congratulated parents who spoke against the performance calling it “God’s work.”Īfter the school’s cancellation due to parent’s misguided outrage went viral, Main Street Theater marketing director, Shannon Emerick, refuted the claim the play featured drag queens and said cross-gender acting is common in theater productions - and has been for as long as theater has existed. Though the drag performer is also in the play, they do not perform as the drag persona pictured in the photo posted by In true extremist, misinformed conservative fashion, the images are from 2018 and are unrelated to the current production of the play, Houston Public Media ( HPM) reported. News of the play also spread to a local anti-LGBTQ+ social media account, which posted an image of a local drag performer named Judy and the Giant Peach, dressed in drag. When she called the theater for more information, she asked them, “Do you know what the definition of a drag queen is?” “She explained to me how they wear flamboyant makeup and wigs to make it fun for the kids.” “The way that they are normalizing this - especially in front of 5 to 6 year olds - it just raises concerns for some parents,” she said. Gerland then spoke to Texas local news station, KHOU, to double down her stance. Spring Branch parent Jessica Gerland, spoke to the school board at their recent meeting, citing her “concern” over the field trip. ![]() The controversy began after a mother of a student in the district shared screenshots of other parents up in arms over the trip, vowing to keep their kids home because of a “drag queen’s role in the show.” Some parents with children enrolled in the SBISD distract were not having that due to the cross-gender costumes, according to television station KHOU. The show contains eight actors playing a total of 20 characters during the production, which obviously requires some men to play women characters and vice versa. The performance - based on a 1961 classic children's book written by Roald Dahl - was recommended for kids first grader and older as per the theater’s guidelines. Students from Spring Branch Independent School District (SBISD) in Houston were scheduled to see the play at Main Street Theater before the district cancelled the trip due to parental concerns raised over its “age-appropriateness.” Some parents felt uncomfortable with their elementary-aged children attending the show. A Texas school district halted field trip plans to see a local theater production of Roald Dahl’s J ames and the Giant Peach after parents began to complain about the production’s “cross-gender casting.” Men red kap shorts8/13/2023 Online prices include an embroidered logo.

Orbis pictus criterion8/13/2023 After finding them (which is not easy if you don’t already know where they are), my excitement waned quickly. A few years ago, when I first learned of these resources, I got really excited. Latin-French-German example of Orbis Pictusįor those interested in Ancient Greek, there were at least two different Greek-Latin versions of this work that were published in the 1800s: Martial Span’s Orbis Pictus Graeco-Latinus, from 1820, and Leopoldo Joanni Scherschnik’s Graeco Latinus Usui Studiosae, from 1802. His work went through many permutations while Comenius was alive, and continued to be used in various forms for a good two centuries after he died. Comenius arranged the work to teach vocabulary in groups of related concepts, which we would now call learning vocabulary by semantic domains. It was, apparently, the first children’s book to systematically use illustrations like this for learning. He developed an influential textbook, Orbis Pictus (pictured below), that utilized pictures of familiar objects and parallel columns of the target language and the speaker’s native language as a way to teach the new language, especially vocabulary. ![]() ![]() One of his far-reaching achievements was the effort to teach languages through the vernacular language of the learner. ![]() John Amos Comenius, 1592-1670, was, among other things, an educational reformer and visionary.

They're trying out new flavors like coffee, peanut butter swirl and piña colada. Other options include passionfruit, strawberry and banana bread. The popular chocolate mint - just coconut milk, cacao, mint and dates - is refreshing and decadent. ![]() ![]() Many flavors of their creamy flavors, which use coconut milk and are sweetened with dates or fruit, are made with five or less ingredients.
