Chevrolet Avalanche Engine Problems
ewingshooter Posts: 1I realize this is an older post but thought I would let you in on a current experience that I am having with my 09 Avalanche...I love the truck but have had the oil pump changed at 75K miles via the dealer warranty and had the same chirping sound...turned out to be the cam shaft and lifters...again replacedat 98K miles by the dealer warranty. I have owned the truck since 8-5-09 when I purchased the truck with 5 miles on it...I have driven over 93,000 miles in the 2.5 years that I have owned the truck..lots of highway miles...I have used Royal Purple 5W-30 oil as recommended every 7K miles... I just pray nothing else goes wrong....its still not paid for but the service warranty is about to expire...
I have always driven a GM product...I own 5 other Chevy trucks with 5.7 litre motors but have never had these types of engine problems. I love the gas mileage...my AV is a 4x4 and has never left the highway...and I get 21.5 on the highway and 18-19 in the town driving...If the engine proves reliable I would like to own another Av as my dealer states that GM will discontinue it in 2013.
bigdogsx3 Posts: 1I am an auto mechanic with 32 yrs exp. I got my 07 avalanche with 30 thsnd miles on it, and have changed oil every 3 th with synt. oil. I service ALL my vehicles with top notch parts, no 2nd brand crap... The engine threw codes for #6 injector, i replaced, no difference, Took off head and #6 rocker arm didnt move. Took to GM and even tho they SEE the engine is clean, wont repair. 1 month outta warranty, just turned 60 000 miles, THEY know there is a problem, becasue there was also another 07 in for the exact same thing the same time as mine. I am going to fight GM for them to fix this. THIS is the reason i will NEVER buy GM again My Nissan pathfinder 225 thousands miles on it and you cant even hear it run.... has anyone gotten it fixed on GMs tab?? this is ridiculous. You pay 50 tho for a truck it shouls last more then 60 thous miles. And my truck doesnt pull anything, Godforbid i have to haul my horses somewhere, then what..... any help from anyone whose had this same issue. i am sure i am not the only one.
silver28 Posts: 1I bought a new 2010 Avalanche that came with a 6.2 "cadillac engine"..I only have about 7000 klms on it..It sat for a few days and when I started it up a lot of blue smoke came out,,oil would be my guess,,has any one else had this problem??
otis4411 Posts: 1I have a 06 avalanche with the 5.3L It started that chirping a couple of weeks ago. Has 94K miles and I alway's changed the oil regularly. 5k miles. I'm going to look around and see what may be a better oil to use. I have been using castrol 5w 30. I'm going to buy a used engine from a friends salvage company and maybe rebuild my old engine myself. I'm going to have the heads done to boost horsepower and do a camshaft upgrade maybe from summitt. I can easily add 100hp by doing that. Seems a hydraulic roller lifter has messed up knocking a lobe off the cam. I had a lot of fine metal in my oil pan. So I know how you feel. It sucks.
altrestle1 Posts: 1Just had to rebuild my 07. Did you get anywhere with GM?
badbrad74 Posts: 1My Chevrolet Avalanche did same thing on 10/2/12. I was driving down the road and the motor started knocking like a jack hammer was inside of it. All the lights came on which were engine light,traction control, stability control and something else which i cant remember. The truck lost all power and i thought it blew up. My Avalanche is a 2007 LTZ fully loaded with a 6.0 motor. Called Gm and they were very helpful. Took to local chevrolet dealership and diagnosed with # 4 cylinder misfired and lifters were broke or locked up and cam was damaged. They are replacing all lifters and new cam in it. Had to show records oil changes but GM gave me no questions after that. Pick it monday. Goodluck and hope they paid for yours also.
gmcustsvcsarah Posts: 1,964Good morning badbrad74,
We're glad to hear that your dealership is taking such great care of you! Keep us updated on how everything is looking when you pick your Avalanche up on Monday.

billwhite62 Posts: 302 avalanche very hard to start on the first start. acts as if no fuel...starts rough and after pressing hard in the gas, will finally lever out and run smooth. I'm guessing a bad cold start sensor, but what do I know. any ideas?
I got the same problem and my is only 57,700 miles. I bought it new.
the dealer will pay half wich is close to 1,100.
I would like to get as many people with the same problem
and try to get a recall on this issue. and for those who had
paid get their money back. my Avalanche has only 57,700 miles. I bought it new.
the dealer will pay half wich is close to 1,100. the noise is getting worse.
I have 07 LTZ Avalanche. for awhile I complain in a local dealer that my lifters doing allot of noise especially when I start the car in the morning. on top of it the engine loosing oil and not leaking. I had to ad 1.5 quarts after 2k miles of oil change. every single time the dealer would of come and say that they didn't find any problem with the car. I've change a dealer and got the same answers.....I've decided to record on the phone when I start the car in the morning and went to a third dealer near my work and eventually at last yesterday the guy called and said that they suspect the camshaft is no good and they need to get an approval from the warranty on Monday. my avalanche has 93k. since 5 years has expired I've extended the warranty with Zurich Auto Warranty. it's really irritating me that the chevy dealers out there not really has the qualify man power to find such a problem before it's developing to the worse.

That's great that you have warranty. I didn't buy it.hopefully you'll get it fix for free.
Im so disappointed with my truck and specially with GM. That I'll never again will buy their cars.
I think that I will fix it and sell it.
I purchased an 2008 LTZ new, after about 60,000 miles i started to have engine noise, low oil pressure indicator was lighting up, took into my Chevy dealer, told me lifter had colapsed, after further inspection , cam shaft was worn, lifters worn, and a host of other problems, they basically rebuilt the motor ( under warranty ) after repairing it was still ticking, unknown to me at the time they added oil thickener to quiet it down. Now my warranty has exspired 1 year later, oil pressure light came on again, now they tell me my motor is done ! After talking to many people including service guys, they are having problems with sludging in the oil pan, and r now saying the oil change monitor on all these vehicles is not working and the oil should be changed every 3500 miles.

hi there,
First post here...glad to see I am not the only one who has problems with the Av engine... I got mine in today for an engine noise.... 2009 Z71 with 41200 km.... Dealer just called me... he needs to open it up to see what's going on... Asks me to get all my invoices for oil changes as GM will ask him cause it's under warranty. Who keeps oil changes invoices ???? My OnStar is activated and tracks when the oil changes were done...
I am hoping they will cover it even I do not have all the oil changes invoices.... and on top of that, it's always been with Synthetic... I have ALWAYS bought GM my 5th car/truck... not sure anymore...
Keep us posted, gtrottier109. I am guessing that you're outside of the United States as you're using kilometers as your unit of measure. If you need information for how to contact Customer Service in your region, let me know your country and I will get that to you.
Sarah, GM Customer Service
You guessed right Sarah... I'm in the Ottawa-Gatineau region in Canada
I can tell you this, depending on your onstar does not save you, they want to see that you are using a GM approved oil filter, as well as oil. and that the oil changes were done at the correct times. I have also learned from the service techs and other GM personel that they are having engine issues with their onboard oil change indicators, I am told that I should not wait till my indicator say 10% or less but to change my oil every 5000 - 6000 km. After my first engine problems started they opened up the engine, the Cam was worn, lifters collapsed and they said there was so much sludge in the oil pan. I said i had always serviced my vehicle at the GM dealer regularly. They said they knew that and it is a problem . They will fix your engine for now, but it will not fix the problem. Mine needed a new engine, after basically being rebuilt. 10,000 miles later they wouldnt repair it anymore. ( just after warranty ran out )
Good luck !
Hi there Wheel61.
Your experience comes in handy in this case. While I understand your points, I am hoping that they will cover it even if I cannot produce all the receipts. After all, the truck was brand new when I bought it (56K sticker price) and has only 26K miles over 3.5 years... warranty is 5 years/100k miles on the powertrain. If I had been at the 70-80 K mark with it and could not reproduce all receipts, I would understand. but at 26K, I shouldn't have to when it is tracked. You are right that OnStar doesn't prove anything though but at 56K $, I am not someone who will cheap out on an oil change. I thought this truck would last me at least 10 years... guess I was wrong.
Great to hear from you! if you should ever wish to speak with customer service, GM of Canada can be reached at 800-263-3777 (Hours: M-F 7:30am - 11:30pm, Sat 7:30am - 6:00 EST). Unfortunately, my social media counterparts and I are only able to work with US customers at this point. Hopefully all turns out well in this situation!
Sarah, GM Customer Service
Hi there Wheel61.
This is what's happening now. My engine is in pieces at the dealership. I went at the garage and asked to see the engine on the table... Sure enough, cam shaft has a gouge in it, lifter is scratched. the service tech told me they will change the camshaft, and all lifters. He also mentioned they come in a kit, this is why they change them all. Might as well, engine is in pieces...
plugs seemed fine. No oil accumulation whatsoever on them
I was surprised, but they rented me a car. They had no loaner on the lot, so GM pays for the rental. Everything under warranty. Can't ask for more I guess. They rented me a Cruze... pretty good little car. I want my wife to try it but after the engine problem on my Av, she says no Chevy for her...
Should have it back tomorrow or Friday and will let you guys know how it feels after.
Got my truck back on Friday.
Engine running smoothly, seems more powerful a bit, but it might just the fact that I was in a Cruze all week.... :P
Had the dealer show me the invoice... 3200+ $$$
Powertrain warranty covered it all... cannot be more pleased with the service I had at the dealer. Surprisingly enough, I had not bought the truck at that dealership, so I thought it could be a problem, but not at all.
Hopefully, the fix will last for good.
bopper425 Posts: 1JUST BOUGHT THIS TRUCK WITH JUST 2,500 MILES ON IT. NOW I KNOW WHY. WITHIN FIVE DAYS OF BUYING IT, IT WAS IN SHOP FOR 4 DAYS GETTING LIFTERS REPLACED BECAUSE I HEARD ENGINE TAPPING. GM DEALER SAYS THERE IS A BULLENTIN OUT ABOUT THIS ISSUE. SO I GOT TRUCK BACK AND ITS STILL MAKING TAPPING NOISE.DEALER SAYS ITS "NORMAL". YEAH RIGHT. SO I TOOK IT TO THREE OTHER CHEVY DEALERS AND GUESS WHAT,THEY ARE ALL SAYING ITS NORMAL. I HAVE BEEN AROUND ALOT OF VEHICLES IN MY LIFE TO KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT NORMAL. I THINK THAT ANYONE WHO WORKS FOR GM KNOWS HOW BIG OF AN ISSUE THIS IS WITH THE 5.3 ENGINES THAT THEY ARE ALL HUSH HUSH ABOUT IT. SO NOW AM STUCK WITH A 40000 DOLLAR PIECE OF CRAP. CHEVYS IS ALL THAT I HAVE BOUGHT IN MY LIFE.THIS WILL BE MY LAST.
Have you already been in contact with Customer Assistance about these issues? If we can check into anything further, please don't hesitate to email us at firstname.lastname@example.com (include your name and contact information, the last 8 digits of your VIN and mileage, and a summary of the situation).
Sarah, GM Customer Service
renegade837 Posts: 1Send me an email to firstname.lastname@example.com; there are a couple of things that happened to mine. First off, check for something lose in the bumper. This may sound odd, but with all the weight of the cladding if there's something lose it's going to make a squeaking noise that will seem to change with the pitch of the engine due to vibration. Easy way to test is to park it, open the hood, stand on a chair, lean on the front upper cross member and push it hard repeatedly. If you hear the squeak, then it's in the bumper assembly.
The second issue is a lot worse. I was told that Chevy had a major problem with soft cams. The noises started @ 150-160,000 and by 200,000 it was throwing error codes for misfires. The solution there was to replace the engine with one that had @ 80,000 on it. Expensive, but much cheaper than a new Avalanche.
My dad bought a 2003 Avalanche that had 111,749. It has been in the shop for the cluster and other things. The vehicle has about 115000km and has no oil pressure. The dealership indicates that it is a rod bearing and the engine needs to be replaced. I understand that the oil was changed at the dealership when it was bought (july 2012). The oil was also changed by the dealership in december to a semi synthetic. So what gives.
buffalobill56 Posts: 1i have a 2011 avalanche with 21,000 miles on and engine is making ticking sounds from passenger side front wheel well area. First trip to dealer month ago said had to make an appointment for couple weeks out , they believed it was a valve spring at that time. followed up with appt. dealer had for three days, follow up calls to dealer think could now be lifter problem may require tear down to find problem. 2days later i got a call to come pick up the truck, im thinking its fixed, find out they did absolutely nothing but run tests that gm required them to do. Guess what cant find anything wrong?, but engine still making noise some times louder than others. They dont denie engine is making noise but nothing shows up on tests.So i guess NOISE is not a proper test?. They asked me to take truckback and drive it, and see if noise gets any worse. The service manager said there were no recalls or bulletins on this problem, but some of the writeups here indicate there is a bulletin on this very issue. Does anyone out there know what the bulletin number is?

Snow White mission
Edit Page Last Edit:
There is an easter egg mission 'The Cold Shoulder', where you have to try and bring a woman back to civilization named "Laney White". When you go to bring her back, she refuses and 7 midgets with different names (dirty, greedy, etc..) come out with her and attack you. This is a reference to Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. This is the mission you must complete in order to open the door to "The Rakk Cave".

New ad exposes Slick Rick's Democrat past
Steve Watson
Sept 6, 2011
In a brand new ad released by the Ron Paul 2012 campaign today, Rick Perry's intimate ties to Al Gore's presidential campaign are laid bare, as Paul exposes the fact to GOP voters that the current frontrunner is anything but a real conservative.
The 60 second spot, which will air as part of a six-figure ad buy in New Hampshire and Iowa, is entitled simply "Trust".
The video highlights how Paul was one of only four Republican Congressmen to endorse Ronald Reagan's presidential campaign.
"The establishment called him extreme and unelectable, they said he was the wrong man for the job." the ad begins.
"After Reagan, Sen. Al Gore ran for president pledging to raise taxes and increase spending," the ad states. "Rick Perry helped lead Al Gore's campaign to undo the Reagan revolution."
"Now America must decide who to trust, Al Gore's Texas cheerleader or the one who stood with Reagan – Ron Paul." the spot concludes.
The ad continues the Hollywood blockbuster theme used in Paul's previous two ads, both of which quickly became viral internet hits earlier this Summer.
The Paul campaign has stated that they hope to place the spot on TV during Wednesday's GOP presidential debate that airs on MSNBC.
Watch the ad:
Back in 1988, Rick Perry supported Al Gore for president. In fact, Perry actually served as Al Gore's campaign chairman in the state of Texas that year.
When Perry entered the 2012 race just a few weeks ago, he immediately began parroting Ron Paul's fiscal conservative and anti-big government values.
Unlike Congressman Ron Paul, however, Perry cannot possibly paint himself up as a fiscally responsible anti-establishment candidate.
Under Perry's governorship, Texas soaked up $22 billion in stimulus money from the federal government's bailout package.
During his 11 year tenure, Texas has run up a $13.4 billion deficit, which is 31.5% of the 2011 budget. The Lone Star state has the 3rd highest deficit in the entire country behind only California and Illinois.
Perry's rhetoric simply does not dovetail with his record.
Ron Paul, on the other hand sits on the Joint Economic Committee, the House Committee on Financial Services, and is Chairman of the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy. Paul has held a steadfast position on fiscal responsibility for over thirty years and has a voting record to match.
20 plus years ago, back when Perry was expending all his energy promoting Al Gore, Ron Paul was warning the country of the Federal Reserve takeover and the inevitable economic crises that would result.
During an appearance on the Alex Jones Show last week, Ron Paul described Perry as a "flip-flopper", pointing out that the Texas Governor had also strongly supported the ill fated Hillarycare in 1993.
Anyone with half a brain can clearly see that Perry, the template of a career politician, a man who has flip flopped not only between issues, but even between the two parties, is not going to bring economic prosperity back to the country. The only candidate who has the will to do so and the record to back it up is Ron Paul.
"Congressman Paul has an unparalleled record of championing true conservative principles," said Ron Paul 2012 Campaign Chairman Jesse Benton in a statement. "Dr. Paul's ideas of limited Constitutional government, sound money and balanced budgets have won the day."
"Other candidates are trying to parrot Dr. Paul's principles, but their records prove they cannot be trusted to live up to their rhetoric. Dr. Paul is the only candidate with the credibility and integrity to restore America now."

Rendezvous Picture Transfer with Pantherby Derrick Story, author of Digital Photography Pocket Guide, 2nd edition
There are many clever features in Mac OS X 10.3 that don't appear on the cover of Apple's Panther page. One of my favorites is the new Image Capture application that enables you to network images directly from your digital camera to others who can view them with a Rendezvous-enabled browser. At first, this may seem more like a cool hack than anything truly useful. But depending on the features of your camera, this hidden Panther gem could bring new enthusiasm to your digital photography.
Our old friend, Image Capture, is at the core of this digital wonderment. While iPhoto gets all the headlines, Image Capture continues to work under the radar and improve with each version of the operating system. Panther includes version 2.1.0, and I think you'll be impressed by some of its new goodies.
I first saw a discussion about some of these features on the O'Reilly Mac Editors list that I follow. Then I heard that David Pogue was playing with remote capture, and he included a demo in his keynote at the Mac OS X Conference, with me configuring the remote camera. Later that day he did the same demo on Tech TV. David focused on the "babysittercam" aspect, and he documented his findings in this follow-up article for his Tech TV appearance. By the way, his demo was a big hit at the conference.
But now I'm going to broaden the conversation considerably and show you how to combine Image Capture and Rendezvous to add new flexibility for making your pictures available to others, as well as taking snapshots remotely. As a bonus, I'll show you how Mass Storage Device digital cameras can be used to easily broadcast any picture from your Mac over a Rendezvous network.
Setting Up Your Computer
Rendezvous should automatically be enabled on your Panther computer. You can check it by launching iChat and making sure that you're logged in. Then, go to other computers on your network and open Safari. Add the Rendezvous button to the Bookmarks Bar (Preferences->Bookmarks->Include Rendezvous). This will come in handy once you start to actually broadcast images.
Now launch Image Capture on your Panther Mac. It's right there in your Applications folder. Open Preferences and click on the Camera tab at the top. Set the drop-down menu option to "When the camera is connected, open: Image Capture". This will prevent you from having to deal with iPhoto launching every time you plug in your camera. (This can be an irritating nuisance when you don't want to use iPhoto.) You can, of course, still use iPhoto by manually launching when you do need it.
Connect your digital camera, put it in "playback" mode, and turn it on. Go back to Preferences and now click on the Sharing tab. Check all of the boxes, and you should see your camera appear under "Share my devices". Click the OK button to close the Preferences dialog box.
Now go to another Rendezvous-enabled Mac on your network -- it doesn't have to be a Panther Mac, it could be Jaguar -- and open Safari. Click on the Rendezvous drop-down menu in the Bookmark Bar that you previously installed, and look for your shared device. You should see a page that you can load.
Choose the page and before you know it, you'll be looking at the pictures directly from the memory card on the remote camera! You browse in thumbnail view, or, if you want to see a little metadata too, switch to list view for cool information such as file size, date captured, dimensions, bit depth, DPI, exposure, f-stop, flash setting, and color space. If you double-click on any of the thumbnails, you can look at an enlarged view that will be constrained by the dimensions of your browser window.
But wait, there's more. You can actually download the image to the Rendezvous-connected computer and save it to your hard drive. And if you don't like the picture, you can delete it from the camera directly from the browser. (If it's not your camera you're browsing, you might want to show some restraint with this feature.) If you connect a second camera to the Panther Mac, Rendezvous will broadcast it, too, and users can toggle between both cameras and view the images on each of them.
Taking Pictures Remotely
Viewing pictures directly from the memory card of a remote camera is certainly useful and interesting. But with certain current models of digicams, you can also use Rendezvous-enabled Image Capture to actually fire the camera from any computer on the network. Once the camera records the image, it is then added to your browser window alongside the other images on the memory card.
Here are some of cameras that have this capability (thanks to David Pogue for this list):
- Canon A60, A70, S400, S50, and G5
- HP C618 and 912
- Kodak DC280, DC4800, and DC5000
- Nikon D1, D1X, and D1H
I tested this functionality with a Canon S400 Digital Elph, and the results were compelling. Image Capture instructed the camera to set the zoom to 7.4mm (the wide-angle setting), turn on the flash, and set the shutter speed to 1/60 of a second and the aperture to f-2.8. The camera used the assist light to focus before firing off the exposure. It also used the image resolution that I had previously set. (If you want the pictures to render faster on the screen, you can lower the resolution to 640 by 480. But don't do this if you plan on using these images later for prints, or you won't have enough pixels for a decent enlargement.) The remotely fired images looked great. Very impressive.
Using the Remote Monitor
Related Reading
Digital Photography Pocket Guide
You'll notice that next to the Image Browser tab there's another one called Remote Monitor. If you click on it you go to a new window, and the camera starts firing shots once a minute and displaying them on the screen. It doesn't save them to the memory card; rather, they are displayed only on the computer screen until replaced by the next shot.
There is a Preferences switch on the left side of the window. In theory, it allows you to change the frequency of the camera firing, but it didn't work for me. Once I clicked the Preferences switch, my Mac asked me for a Shared Name and Password. I provided the correct information, but it was repeatedly rejected. So the moral of the story, at least with a Canon S400, is to be happy with once-a-minute automatic firing, or use the control button in the Image Browser view to shoot pictures manually.
More Flexibility with Mass Storage Devices
So far, Rendezvous image sharing has been limited to pictures stored on the memory card or displayed from the camera right after exposure via remote firing. But what if someone you're chatting with on iChat wants to see a collection of pictures that you have saved on your hard drive?
You could send the images one by one (or in a compressed archive) via iChat and let the person open them on their computer. But it's a lot more fun (and easier) for your audience to view them in a browser window as thumbnails, and enlarge or download only the images that interest them.
I connected an Olympus C-5050Z, which has USB Mass Storage capability, and tried adding pictures from my iPhoto album to the camera, then sharing them over Rendezvous. It worked! (Olympus calls this capability "auto connect.")
Here's the procedure for sharing images from your hard drive with a USB Mass Storage camera:
- Connect the camera and turn it on.
- When the device icon appears on your Desktop, open it and navigate to a folder that contains pictures.
- Drag pictures from your hard drive into the folder. They will be copied to the camera's memory card.
- Turn off the camera, then turn it on again.
- Open Preferences in Image Capture, and share the device.
- View the complete image catalog from a Rendezvous-enabled browser.
A word of caution! Make sure you've already downloaded the native pictures already located on your memory card. There's a chance that after you disconnect the camera, you'll get a memory card error message and have to reformat the card. This only happened to me once during many tests, but beware and be prepared.
Real World Use
For me, these new capabilities are going to be a handy way to distribute pictures to others directly from my camera. For example, I'm often asked to snap shots at work, which I don't mind. But I do hate uploading the images to my Mac, sorting through them, and sending the images that I think the requester might want via email.
Now, all I have to do is connect my camera and turn on Rendezvous sharing. Everyone can view the catalog in their browser, grab the shots that they want, and I don't have to do a thing. Later, I can upload the pictures to my computer, if I want, at my convenience.
You'll need Panther on the computer that you use to serve the pictures. But any Rendezvous-enabled browser on the local network can view and download them. I successfully tested this functionality with an Olympus C-5050Z, Canon S400, Canon G2, and EOS 10D.
One thing to keep in mind is that your camera remains "powered up" while it's serving pictures across the network. If you have an AC adapter, this would be a perfect use for it. I don't have one, so I keep an extra battery on hand. I didn't run out of juice on any of the cameras while testing these procedures, so the "drain rate" must not be too bad. But as with everything else in digital photography, be prepared, or you will certainly run out of power at the worst possible moment.
As for firing the camera remotely with this set up ... well, it's fun, but since I don't have as much control over the camera's settings as I'd like, I don't see it as useful as the image-sharing functionality. But it makes for a great demo, and you might want to keep it in mind as an impressive Panther trick to show off Apple technology.
You can also use Image Capture to control scanners and share the images over a network. But that's another article altogether.

The vast majority of Americans dine out regularly — that's what Harris Interactive found in a recent study. Jerry Stiegler reviews those findings as well as many other economic indicators affecting the foodservice business in This Week In Foodservice.
Harris Interactive surveyed almost 2,500 adults in mid-February and the study provides a ton of data on the restaurant market. For example, 64 percent of respondents visited a fast food restaurant at least once in the last month. Also, 54 percent visited a local casual dining restaurant, 52 percent a chain casual dining restaurant, 18 percent a local fine dining restaurant, and 9 percent a chain fine dining restaurant.
Harris noted that it appeared Americans may be cutting back on dining out in general. When asked whether they had eaten out more frequently, the same or less frequently, more responded "less frequently" than "more frequently" for every restaurant segment. However, Harris believes that the decline in restaurant visits is leveling off.
In addition to data on why consumers choose a restaurant and the preferred type of cuisine, one statistic stands out: only 10 percent of those surveyed said they had not visited any restaurant in the previous month. It is probably safe to conclude that 10 percent maybe overstated. The research specifies "restaurants" so meals eaten at company dining facilities would not be counted nor would meals at hospitals or schools or colleges. People traditionally tend to not count some meals such as pizza delivery. So here is some new evidence confirming that Americans like to eat out and ninety plus percentage of them do so at least once a month. Statistically speaking, that's everybody

Including: the letterboxed feature film, the feature-length documentary "Poultry in Motion," deleted scenes, the original Ron Jeremy ending, a kara-yolk-e DVD, and much, much more!
"Poultry in Motion" Goes Theatrical! Sept 5th, NYC
Andy Deemer and Jason Foulke take you on a journey into the world of fiercely independent guerrilla filmmaking with this hilarious and shocking documentary feature. "Poultry in Motion" follows cult director Lloyd Kaufman as he tries to hatch his newest cinematic explosion, POULTRYGEIST. With no investors and no money, he staffs the film with a crew of 75 inexperienced teenagers, hires the cheapest DP he can find, and houses them all in an abandoned church in Buffalo's ghetto. This unflinching behind-the-scenes visit into the world of guerrilla filmmaking spares no one, and presents an engaging story of how independent cinema is really made.
"It's hilarious."
"Disgusting, deranged and thoroughly brilliant. A Critic's Pick!"
"It is just about as perfect as a film predicated on the joys of projectile vomiting and explosive diarrhea can be!"
"A simultaneously horrific and hilarious parody of the zombie genre!"
It's "a veritable Cluckwork Orange! It takes up where the punctured glutton in Monty Python's The Meaning of Life left off!!!"
"I loved it!! One of the best films [Troma's] ever released... a no holds barred bloodbath!"
"Gleefully vulgar, politically incorrect! A free-for-all romp! 3 stars out of 4!"
"Makes Borat look like The Sound of Music... very guilty and gross pleasures!"
"See it with a crowd of like-minded fans and you'll revel in the cut-rate cleverness, the exertions of the cast, the, ahem, pluck of it all."
"A masterpiece! Pure creativity and fun at breakneck speeds, covered in soda-fountain blood and UltraSlime!"
"Outrageous, insane, and borderline brilliant, Poultrygeist is one of the best things to come out of Troma... It's bloodier, ballsier, and bluerer than anything the company has ever done! It's simply amazing. 9/10!!!"
"Hilarious! Definitely something you guys need to see to believe!"
"A cinematic masterpiece! The mad genius who brought the world The Toxic Avenger is back!"
"Be prepared for bizarre sex acts, gratuitous toplessness, explosive diarrhea, dismemberments, eviscerations and other things you would not find in a mainstream musical... Snappy and funny!"
"Fucking amazing. Best Troma film in years. It's so unbelievably sick, funny, and really, really smart."
"I LOVED the movie, it was everything I wanted. The gore was completely and utterly over the top... It's completely mind-expanding."
"It will destroy any of the good feelings you still have about the fast food industry!"
"A rather sharp, if demented, work of political and social satire."
"A hilarious, stomach-turning epic!"
"As savage as Dawn of the Dead, as slapstick nutzoid as Evil Dead 2, as gag-on-your-popcorn gross as Pink Flamingos, and as dementedly foulmouthed literate as a Kevin Smith raunchfest. It's genuine sick fun, and there isn't a boring moment in it!"
"Totally crass, often hilarious! A Critics' Pick"
"One of the most entertaining movies all year!"
"A vegetarian-manifesto masterpiece... (one of) the top 10 films that'll inspire you to go vegetarian!"
"Poultrygeist is the movie Fast Food Nation could have been if it hadn't sucked... It's a wonderfully bold satirical comment on the chemical-industrial food complex that poisons us all, and one that forces us to ask why - in the 118-year history of the cinema - have we never been shown this before?"
"A Troma Classic... B-Movies on Steroids!"
"About as close as you'll get to a live-action South Park... One of Kaufman's -- and Troma's -- best efforts to date!"
"An unqualified return to form! Boasts more blood, vomit, explosive diarrhea, decapitations, eviscerations and completely gratuitous toplessness than any Troma film in recent memory."
"A masterpiece... It's like FAST FOOD NATION meets SHAUN OF THE DEAD"
"Vintage Lloyd Kaufman!... An alternately hilarious and stomach-churning exercise in really bad taste that makes SOUTH PARK look like classic Ingmar Bergman by comparison."
"Without a doubt, the best film Troma's ever produced, and certainly Lloyd Kaufman's most accomplished. It's also smart, smart-assed, ambitious, hilarious... Poultrygeist redefines what Troma is capable of."
"Gross-out humor not only reigns, it thunders and storms across the candy-colored big screen! It does for the visual sensibilities what Superbad does for the imagery of smutty and slutty word play."
"Move over Morgan Spurlock, Eric Schlosser and China, Lloyd Kaufman has the best reason to avoid fast food! A cornucopia of gore, cheesy lines, sexy ladies and off-the-cuff musical numbers!"
"A celebration of American independent cinema!... Is it a lot of fun? Hell yes."
"Clever satire and unabashed tastelessness!"

I am using visual C++ ver 8.
I have written a application that calls a third party dll function that communicates to a connected embedded device via TCP/IP. This routine is ran around 14 times a second.
Two/three weeks or so in, my application stops working due to a non return in the dll and appears to get stuck in a internal loop in the third party dll. The application does not crash, but I do need to perform a manual closedown and a restart to gets things going again.
What is the best way to handle this? I know if I was using VB, I could maybe use a multi-threaded timer function to see if processing has stopped? However, I dont know how to do this in c++ or is is there a simpler method I could use?
As its a third party dll I cant debug their issue, but I should be able to handle it within my app..
I would appreciate your assistance?

Vermont 13th-most expensive state for renters, report says
That's according to the Out of Reach report by the National Low Income Housing Coalition, a Washington, D.C., research and advocacy organization, and the Vermont Affordable Housing Coalition.
The 2014 reports says the average fair market rent for a two-bedroom apartment in the state is $1,007 a month. That means a family would have to earn $19.36 an hour ($40,272 a year) to afford the rent, based on spending 30 percent of their income on housing. That's up from $18.53 an hour last year.
The cost in the Burlington-South Burlington metro area is much greater with $25.17 an hour required to afford the fair market rent, the report says. Vermont's minimum wage is $8.73 an hour.
Cuts in federal funding for affordable housing and the partisan standoff in Congress have hindered efforts to create more low- and moderate-income housing in Vermont, advocates say.
"This is one of the worst times for federal funding for affordable housing," said Erhard Mahnke, coordinator of the Vermont Affordable Housing Coalition. "The state of Vermont does what it can, and this year's budget makes headway, but it's still not enough."
Mahnke said funding from the departments of Housing and Urban Development and USDA Rural Development began to erode in 2010, making it more difficult to find developers for new affordable housing stock.
One potential source of funding for affordable housing, the National Housing Trust Fund signed by President George Bush in 2008, could help but it has never been funded. The law calls for federal mortgage giants Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to contribute to the fund. But the national mortgage crisis intervened and the federally backed lenders fell on hard times, according to a New York Times editorial.
As the housing market rebounds, that program could be capitalized, Mahnke said. The National Low Income Housing Coalition report put the nationwide housing wage for a modest two-bedroom unit at $18.92, placing Vermont as the 13th-most expensive state in which to rent. "We need more housing production more federal and state investment in viable and robust affordable housing," Mahnke said.

HOUSTON - From states across the country, Americans have filed petitions on the White House Web site seeking to secede from the union and form new state governments.
While most of the petitions come from states that supported Mitt Romney in last week's election, a few swing states and even the deep blue Northeast are represented.
Petitions have been filed for Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas.
While the Texas petition does not explicitly name the re-election of President Obama as the reason to secede it claimed the nation continues to suffer because of the "federal government's neglect to reform domestic and foreign spending." Texas had the most signatures as of 12:01 a.m. Tuesday more than 56,554. The number doubled in less than 6 hours.
"We petition the Obama Administration to peacefully grant the State of Alabama to withdraw from the United States of America and create its own new government," reads the Alabama petition. The following text is the same in most of the 20 filed so far:
As the founding fathers of the United States of America made clear in the Declaration of Independence in 1776:
"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."
"…Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and institute new Government…"
Most of the petitions have a few thousand signatures; many signers appear to be from other states. Under the "We the People" program, launched last year, the White House will respond to any petition that receives 25,000 or more signatures within 30 days. Anyone over the age of 13 can create a petition. Previous popular petitions demanded the White House beer recipe (success) and marijuana legalization (no success).
The petitions from Louisiana and Texas, however, have the most signatures. They were the first two states represented, followed by Alabama. Petitioners only have to put a first name and last initial on the site.
Tuesday afternoon, the Texas secession petition has more than 81,000 signatures, which would require a response from the White House.
Mark Jones, Rice University's Political Science Department Chair, said he does not think Texas will ever secede from the Union.
"It's fun for parlor conversations to talk about what if Texas became its own country, but it's not going to happen," said Jones. "It would create a lot of chaos and problems for Texas, because we're so intertwined with the rest of the nation from commerce, trade, rules and regulations. It would have a negative impact on the Texas economy."
Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) raised the idea of secession back in 2009, but he has since made clear that he has no interest in it.
In a statement released Monday night Perry's office said, "Gov. Perry believes in the greatness of our Union and nothing should be done to change it. But he also shares the frustrations many Americans have with our federal government. Now more than ever our country needs strong leadership from states like Texas, that are making tough decisions to live within their means, keep taxes low and provide opportunities to job creators so their citizens can provide for their families and prosper. We cannot allow Washington's tax and spend, one-size-fits-all mindset to jeopardize our children's future, undermine our personal liberties and drive our nation down a dangerous path to greater dependence of government."

Kenny F'in Rogers!!! I am so buying "The Gambler".
It's really sick how many songs can be in RB2 at this point. I remember when I had GHI: we had 50 songs and we liked it, dammit!
That sure took long enough for the rest of that country pack to come out.
Dave Grohl Band.
It's actually still incomplete as DLC. 5/21 were released earlier, and this pack brings it to 12/21, unless I'm forgetting about something. I'm sure that "Gone" by Montgomery Gentry is not available as a download yet.
Does anyone have Lego Rock Band? None of the songs on the country pack show up in Lego even though you can buy them as Lego Rock Band songs yet they show up just fine in Rock Band 2.
Of course, what's really funny is how there are a bunch of Queen songs that are grayed out and you can't play them in Lego story mode, but you can play them in quickplay. If I only owned Lego Rock Band, I'd be pissed off at the inconsistent censoring of songs.

Where did you go?!?
I was just playing LEGO and ROCK BAND 2 and saw it on the song screen after playing it, I just wish there were more songs on LEGO. But it's all good, now if there was only more Linkin Park on ROCK BAND.
Europe only got the country stuff and the afi track-pack file...
So i guess there is another shit-storm on the RB forum about it uot getting the rest, again...
The stuff we did get also is only available through the PSN store but not the ingame one...

Forgive me my friends, for I have sinned. I was with some friends last night and we were kept from our normal plans by the weather, so we decided to hang out and play Rock Band. Well, I needed to buy another guitar since there were four of us and I didn't want anyone left out (I'd been meaning to buy one for a while) but the only thing that Wal-Mart had was the Guitar Hero 5 game and guitar bundle. I bought it. I bought a Guitar Hero game. I'm so so sorry. Can I ever be forgiven?
It's actually better then 3 and 4, plus the controllers are better then the RB ones...
Minute one purchase. AIC is full of win.
I think GH3 is the best of the Neversoft bunch, but yeah, the GH5 controller is good. Blows away anything from MTV/Harmonix.
Oh, and AiC is great, but they haven't made for the most interesting guitar charts. I'll buy it anyway, but I'm guessing it'll end up being in the 'songs I like to listen to, but not play' pile.
Separate names with a comma.

Celebunepotistic Art Mag Had Some Flaw, Somehow
Tar magazine was an experiment to answer the timeless question: If you put some celebrities' kids together with a bunch of random art world names, will you make a super successful magazine? No, you won't. Live and learn.
Joe Pompeo reports that Tar is "on hold," or maybe just dead. After only two issues! What is the magazine business coming to when concerted celebunepotism can't bring in the big buck$$$??
Alexandra Kerry (daughter of John) and John Mailer (son of Norman) were recruited as staff editors, as was Zoe Wolff, former features director at Domino.
They even had crap in there from Matthew Barney and Damien Hirst and Julian Schnabel and Ryan McGinley and Kate Moss! Perhaps the trouble was that people saw this mag and wondered, "Why does this themeless mish-mash of buzzy names exist, seriously?" Oh, wait: "'tar' is an anagram of art, the distillation of organic matter, sticky stuff we pave roads and secure roots with—a foundation."
They had a coherent philosophy. The problem here was you, the public. Thanks a lot. Alexandra Kerry just wanted to change the world.

International Association of Providers of AIDS Care
Index of articles from The International Association of Providers of AIDS Care
MissionTo craft and implement global educational and advocacy strategies to improve the quality of care provided to all people living with HIV/AIDS and associated co-infectious diseases.
IAPAC envisions a world in which people living with HIV/AIDS and associated co-infectious diseases may obtain the best healthcare available provided by physicians and allied health professionals armed with cutting-edge clinical expertise.
The International Association of Providers of AIDS Care (IAPAC) was established in 1995 by healthcare professionals and civic leaders who recognized an urgent need for a coordinated medical response to the AIDS pandemic. At that time, there was no agency exclusively devoted to marshaling the coordinated strength of healthcare professionals worldwide to the benefit of people living with and affected by HIV/AIDS. Seven years later, Chicago-based lAPAC, currently holds regional offices located in Johannesburg, South Africa, and Paris, France, and represents a professional membership of 12,000-plus physicians and other healthcare professionals in 89 countries. Its activities are conducted by a professionally diverse staff, spanning three continents, and are guided by an international Board of Trustees composed of highly esteemed medical, public health and advocacy professionals.
The association is recognized under the law of the United States of America as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. Working worldwide in partnership with business, the healthcare professions, government, academe, and religious communities, IAPAC accomplishes its mission through a comprehensive program of education, advocacy, direct technical assistance, and care provision initiatives spearheaded by its physician members. Toward this end, IAPAC currently utilizes several educational and technical assistance vehicles, including a quarterly peer-reviewed journal (JIAPAC); a monthly clinical summary publication (IAPAC Monthly); a comprehensive Web site, an innovative Internet-based educational program (I-Med Exchange); a physician exchange program (African Medical Exchange Program); and regular local, national, and international clinical symposia. This comes in addition to ongoing medical training, evaluation and certification programs conducted internationally, in cooperation with industry, government and public health providers.
The strength of lAPAC is firmly rooted in the belief that the most effective and creative solutions to ongoing issues of access to, and provision of HIV treatment, evolve from within the association's membership. IAPAC provides educational services to its membership on best clinical practices in managing HIV and its associated complications, while it also develops and implements innovative public healthcare policies that reflect its membership's commitment to changing the course of the HIV pandemic.
IAPAC takes seriously the mandate from its membership to advance efforts that enhance the quality of HIV care provision. In the United States, IAPAC has for two years worked to expand the use of HIV clinical guidelines by HIV-treating physicians and other healthcare professionals -- more than 350,000 copies of the US DHHS Guidelines for the Use of Antiretroviral Agents in HIV-Infected Adults and Adolescents were distributed by IAPAC in 2001. IAPAC also convenes an annual two-day conference for leading edge, U.S.-based, researchers and practitioners of HIV medicine in order to facilitate critical discussion surrounding contentious issues in clinical management of HIV.
As a function of its major role in brokering international cooperation around access to appropriate HIV care, IAPAC has served as a monitor of two international drug access initiatives, and sponsors an annual conference on healthcare resource allocation for HIV/AIDS. lAPAC has also taken the leadership role in establishing an international medical training and certification program to measure core clinical competency of HIV-treating physicians in resource-limited settings. Toward this end, the Global AIDS Learning & Evaluation Network (GALEN) will soon prove a monumental step in ensuring access to appropriate HIV treatment in regions most affected by the pandemic. In addition, IAPAC actively participates in both national and international public policy development through its partnerships with such groups as the US National Organizations Responding to AIDS (NORA), the Joint United Nations Programme on AIDS (UNAIDS), the World Health Organization (WHO) and its regional offices, and the European Commission.
There continue to exist a host of opportunities close at hand, for crafting and implementing programs that will make a measurable impact on HIV/AIDS care throughout the world. These opportunities make it imperative for the International Association of Physicians in AIDS Care -- the only professional organization that on both a global as well as domestic level exclusively represents HIV care providers -- to actively present it's initiatives in advocacy, education, and technical assistance. To obtain further information about IAPAC, visit the IAPAC Web site at www.iapac.org.

Surname meaning for "Bell"
Scottish and northern English: from Middle English belle 'bell', in various applications; most probably a metonymic occupational name for a bell ringer or bell maker, or a topographic name for someone living 'at the bell' (as attested by 14th-century forms such as John atte Belle). This indicates either residence by an actual bell (e.g. a town's bell in a bell tower, centrally placed to summon meetings, sound the alarm, etc.) or 'at the sign of the bell', i.e. a house or inn sign (although surnames derived from house and inn signs are rare in Scots and English).

This article speaks it best - Derrick Rose needs to dominate the ball to be a good player. So does LeBron James. It wouldn't work well together; it'd be like telling Monta Ellis and Al Harrington to play togetherKnicks, Cavs Remain LeBron's Best Bets
Authored by Louis Roxin - May 17, 2010 - 11:43 am
Like the success ESPNs Bill Simmons had orchestrating Celtics fans to serenade LeBron James with chants of New-York-Knicks, Simmons gets credit for originating the LeBron-to-the-Bulls chatter that has now taken on a life of its own. RealGM had the Bulls in the top slot in their [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] On its real-world basketball merits, not so much. It is a fabricated argument.
One of the big problems I have with the insistence that Derrick Rose is the ultimate running mate for LeBron James is that it discards both baby and bath water in Danny Ferrys gameplan.
The Cavs did not dominate the regular season the last two years by putting together a terrible roster that was poorly constructed around LeBrons unique talents. Loading up on shooters and keeping LeBron as the primary playmaker worked well enough to deliver Cleveland a total of 143 wins over two seasons.
Where the Cavs need help is simply in finding that clear second scorer for the postseason. Easier said than done, of course, but not a complicated dynamic to figure. Antawn Jamison didnt add an extra dimension to the offense that the team didnt already have. I believe Amare Stoudemire would have.
Simmons determination is that a ball-dominant point guard like Rose could be LeBrons ideal sidekick. A dribble-shoot, dribble-drive point who relies on his young legs to slice through the defense, not a catch-and-shoot guy who likes to run to a spot, doesnt have 3-point range to space the floor. Thats the perfect match for LeBron?
Who is playing off the ball and on the wings in this lineup? LeBron doesnt prefer it and youre effectively neutralizing much of what makes Rose special by taking him off the top or turning him into an undersized cutter rather than someone who can beat everybody off the dribble or hit the pull-up jumper.
Joakim Noahs energy is off the charts, but you can find an adequate, dirty-work big by trade, the MLE, or late in the draft. The Cavs already did with Anderson Varejao. As far as the Heat or Knicks, they wont find a big with Noahs live body. But maybe they can find one who can hit a jumper here and there, or at least wont get under LeBrons skin.
Besides kicking the Cavs when theyre down, many are busy ignoring the elephant in the room: The Knicks and their two max-salary contract slots, selling the city that seems close to LeBrons heart and the arena that inspires his fancy. At least Simmons deals with the possibility which is more than we can say for some of his colleagues. Chris Broussard gives the Knicks an 18 percent chance at landing LeBron by some magically precise formula.
More on the Knicks later. Back to LeBrons current team in Cleveland.
Simmons claims that if the Cavs added Chris Bosh to their present roster, theyd still go nowhere. I strenuously object.
Add a multi-skilled big who can pour in points and LeBron has all he needs for a championship with a few minor roster tweaks. Granted, the Cavs might also need to innovate their offense and pick up the tempo, but thats a coaching change.
On what is Simmons basing the insufficiency of Bosh? The Raptors failure to make the playoffs? How many games did the Grizzlies win with Pau Gasol each season? Bosh is not quite as big as Gasol and doesnt have as many tricks around the basket. But his jumper is better and hes a significantly more prolific scorer. Bosh is a good offensive rebounder, underrated defender and passes well. Id take Bosh over Gasol.
And LeBron has surpassed Kobe. So you do the math. The Cavs two top guns would be superior. So what would make Cleveland still inferior to the defending-champion Lakers? Lamar Odom is the difference? Comparable guys can be had at the MLE if theyre not already on the Cavs roster. Andrew Bynum is the difference? Hes been banged up in every postseason since Gasol has arrived, and didn't even play against Boston in 2008.
If we agree that abundant perimeter shooting next to LeBron had something to do with the Cavs prodigious regular-season success a theory not exactly impossible to believe then Chicago is a particularly strange choice even if we throw out the Rose debate. The Bulls, who were .500 in the regular season and won exactly one playoff game, are arguably the most erratic jumpshooting team in the league. They dont have anyone who is reliable from three. Kirk Hinrich has been their most established outside threat but has become spotty and uncertain from night to night.
Sure, shooters and quality pieces can be found. Theyre out there for the taking if you resolve to spend money. But Jerry Reinsdorf is resistant to paying the luxury tax. Filling out the Bulls roster, particularly after Rose and Noah come off their heavily discounted rookie contracts, may not be a simple task. If the era of MJ, Phil, Pippen and six championships couldnt loosen managements purse strings, then how would LeBron and his young teammates fare?
The point is that in New York and Miami, LeBron wouldnt have to worry about ownership playing, or paying, along. That also hasnt been a concern in Cleveland to date.
Simmons believes hes calling LeBrons bluff: Okay, so the city of Chicago may not give you a big buzz LeBron, but if youre all about winning, youll sign with the Bulls.
Heres the best part: If LeBron goes to Chicago, Simmons will cut him some slack. LeBron doesnt really have to be all about winning as a Bull. Sure, Wade is bigger and better than Rose in every which way, and the Heat would have substantial cap room left over after signing LeBron. But Simmons tells us that LeBron doesnt want to have that much help. No, Wade would give LeBron too much help.
As Simmons sees it, going to Chicago will prove that LeBron is all about winning even though he could have chosen to join another team that gives him a better chance of winning. Its the perfect blend of LeBron being all about winning while still being all about ego.
Simmons mysteriously forgives LeBron the vice of wanting to be his teams best player, by far, but he wont forgive LeBron the vice of wanting to play in the best city, by far. His ego is acceptable in Chicago, out of control in New York.
LeBron can shed both vices and maximize his shot at the title by playing with Wade in Miami or New York (although it is worth noting that LeBron would still be the best player, by far, even if he pairs with Wade).
And why does Bill seem to be ruling out Wade jumping town? You dont know how much South Beach fatigue has set in by now playing playoff games in front of a guy who just moved from Rockland County next to two empty seats, with his flip flops up on the seat in front of him the courtside season ticketholder who sometimes shows up, living in Dade since 1960 and already making plans to re-deed his familys plantation in Bayamo to United Fruit.
If LeBron goes to Chicago, he can be absolutely sure that his legacy will continuously be lined up against Jordans, win for win, title for title. In New York, LeBron will have a largely blank slate but still get to play on the worlds biggest and brightest stage, in front of its best fans. One championship in New York and LeBron will have led the most remarkable transformation in NBA history. Win two as a Knick and hes talked about as one of the greatest of our time. Three and he might be the most remarkable athlete of his generation, considering how far the Knicks fell during the tragic Isiah decade.
The Knicks roster is a work in progress. Im on record that Donnie Walsh will look to trade Eddy Currys expiring contract for a defensive big on a long-term deal. Think Emeka Okafor or Andris Biedrins. LeBron would also benefit playing beside a talented young shooter with size and a range of offensive skills in Danilo Gallinari, who may not be far off from Noah as a third big piece and is a rarer piece more difficult to find.
This summer, LeBron has his eye on the Big Apple and the specter of the King calling the Garden home with a second max talent on board carries a heavy dose of intrigue, or intimidation, depending on ones perspective.
During the playoffs, LeBron said that Chicago is [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] Guess which one he thinks is the best?

Notes: Koufax makes quick visit
Dodgers legend catches up with Torre, staffers
By Ken Gurnick / MLB.com
He met with new manager Joe Torre, caught up with club officials and clubhouse attendants, then darted off the grounds before players came off the field, unseen by the throngs of fans visiting the complex.
"It was great to see him," said Torre. "After we won our first World Series with the Yankees, one of the first congratulatory calls I got was from Sandy. After I had surgery, a get-well note on the top of the stack was from Sandy. After my meeting in Tampa [when Torre cut ties with the Yankees], I'm at the airport, and the phone rings -- and it's Sandy. When I got the Dodgers job, I'm at the chiropractor's office and Sandy calls. He's a class act."
Koufax, 72, splits his time between homes in Vero Beach and a small Caribbean island.
Chan Ho II: One player disappointed to hear he missed Koufax was Chan Ho Park. Koufax was a surrogate mentor to Park through his friendship with then-pitching coach Dave Wallace when Park blazed the modern trail for Asian players to the Major Leagues.
It was 1994, one year before Hideo Nomo's arrival from Japan, when Park, only 20, came to Dodgertown. He made the club with no Minor League experience, ultimately becoming an ace and an All-Star.
It's been a long, strange journey back for Park, who at 34 is trying to revive a career where it started. He's a non-roster invitee, trying to overcome long odds to return to the Major Leagues, and he's not doing it for the money. Park has earned over $80 million in his career, more than any current Dodgers player -- including Jeff Kent and Nomar Garciaparra.
Park cashed in big when he left the Dodgers after the 2001 season via free agency. Agent Scott Boras sought an $80 million contract, and Dodgers general manager Dan Evans, resisting internal pressure to keep Park, never made an offer. The right-hander (80-54 as a Dodger) signed a $65 million deal with Texas and hasn't been the same (33-34 since), including time spent with the Padres after being traded for Phil Nevin.
He pitched only one game in the Major Leagues last year, allowing seven runs in four innings for the Mets. The Mets eventually released Park, who hooked on with Houston's Triple-A club. Despite the awful season, Park pitched well enough for his national team that the Dodgers decided to take a shot, hoping a return to familiar surroundings might help him recapture the magic.
Park hasn't lost the desire or the sense of responsibility as a national sports hero.
"I know I can be better than I've been," said Park, who battled back problems in 2004 and required surgery in 2006 for an intestinal disorder. "I feel better and stronger and confident. I have fans in L.A. and Korea who believe I can come back. They are wishing and hoping to see me again, and I want to make those dreams come true."
MLB.com coverage | Schedule | Ballpark | Tickets
Park said he still dreams of winning a World Series.
"If I have success, the people in Korea are happy," he said. "That used to be a lot of pressure on me. I know how to control that now. Me coming back, it's like Nomo coming back with Kansas City. It would be a big thing in Japan if Nomo comes back and a big thing in Korea if I do."
Finally Miller Time? The Dodgers received a compensation draft pick from Texas for signing Park and with the selection, landed left-handed pitcher Greg Miller, who is still trying to get his career back on track after once being considered one of the best prospects in the game. After struggling for three years with shoulder problems, he was healthy in 2007, only to lose sight of the strike zone.
Last season, Miller walked 46 in 28 2/3 innings at Triple-A Las Vegas, was demoted to Double-A Jacksonville and walked 43 more in 48 innings. That's 89 walks in 76 2/3 innings (10.5 walks per nine innings). Prior to the surgery, Miller walked three per nine innings. Returning to Jacksonville at age 23 was discouraging for Miller, who was promoted to Jacksonville in 2003 at age 18.
Miller concedes that what started out to be mechanical eventually worked its way into his head.
"I would say it got to that," he said of the effects on his psyche. "Frustration set in. Over the winter, I took a step away from the game and decompressed. I didn't touch a ball for a month. I never thought about quitting, but I admit to being frustrated. It got to be hard to sleep at night. What was wrong?
"I realize now that I was trying to muscle my way through it. I was in denial about everything. There were days I just didn't want to go to the park. The goal now is to simplify everything. I'm excited about getting back."
An hour before the team works out at Dodgertown, Miller can be found with pitching coach Rick Honeycutt doing shadow deliveries off the mound.
"I have a visual of Greg at 18, with an efficient delivery, and we need to see if we can get him back to those basics," said Honeycutt.
Kuroda's repertoire: In his second bullpen session, Hiroki Kuroda unveiled a cutter he rarely used in Japan.
"I heard in the States a fastball with movement away is better to have over here," said Kuroda. "I don't think I've perfected the location, but I was satisfied with the movement."
In Japan, Kuroda relied on a sinker thrown down and in to right-handed hitters, but many pitchers feel that Major League umpires are more likely to call strikes on pitches away than inside, one of the reasons for the recent popularity in the cut fastball.

I have been having problems lately with text messaging. Every now and then i will get a random text message that comes in at one time, but then says it's from the future. Example, i get a message from my wife at 10:30am today, but for some reason it says i got it at 3:20pm. Is anyone else having this problem? If so, do you have a solution?
Also, i seem to be getting random duplicates. Some messages are coming in twice right in a row.
Message was edited by: Death259
Solved! Go to Solution.
So i guess no one else has had this problem at all?
It makes it super annoying when i have a conversation that doesn't make sense, since my hello is at the end of my conversation. Anyone at least have any ideas on what might be causing this? I'm not using any SMS software, just the basic android messaging.
I am having an issue with text message timestamps also.
The sprint tech i talked to on my lunch break told me it was probably and issue with my dad's carrier (T-Mobile)
I only notice it with texts to and from T-Mobile users.
Well, the only problem with that, is the only person i've really noticed it with is my wife who is also on sprint. I do work out in bum*****no where, so i don't know if that is part of the problem. But i will get 3 texts in a row just fine, then maybe the next two are at the wrong time, or maybe it's just one. Then i won't get any for a while (day or so).
Message was edited by: izzyks
yeah, it seems to be a random issue, because i just got a handful of texts that are timed/dated correctly.
I had the same problem about two weeks ago receiving text messages from my two children who each have Sprint phones. I powered off my phone, let it sit for about a minute and then turned it back on. The problem hasn't occurred again... yet.
my husband is having similar issues. he will go two weeks without receiving any texts, then they all come in at once from various users. i have sprint as well, and when i try to text him, he never gets them. however, we have friends on verizon that try to text him as well, and he is not receiving those either.
Follow some of these steps...I changed my registry which was really easy and it fixed my Treo Pro time issue...
Well today i finally figured out why my phone is giving me bad times on texts. I work on the edge of the sprint network, so part of the time i am roaming, and part of the time i am not. Today, up until now, i was roaming. All text messages that i got were given a bad time (3:30 or later). I got back into the spritn network just now and all of my texts have been given the right times. Having said all this, has anyone else that lives or works on the edge of the sprint network been experiencing this phenomenon?
Oh, and tedwards, i dont have a palm phone, so i doubt that palm registry fix will fix my phone.
I have had this issue too with the incorrect timestamp on text messages. Like you I also noticed that it was related to receiving text messages while roaming. I do not believe there is anything that we can do to fix this on the phone. I had this problem with the LG Rumor I had before the Moment, so it appears to be a network issue rather than a phone problem. I am not sure whether the problem is with Sprint or the network that we are roaming on when the phone receives the text. Most likely one network is using UTC or GMT time zone to timestamp the message when passing it between the carriers and this causes the incorrect timestamp.
My problem is that my phone,Palm treo pro, only stamp DATE (e.g 4/24) to all my incoming texts, with no TIME. So if i have several texts same day, There is no way for me to know the actual time the texts came in. This is very annoying.
hey i have an samsung moment with sprint. and i thought i was losing my mind, i will get text messages with crazy times on them, and theyre all out of order, so i have to find myself in the conversation.. any idea why this is happening?

DOVER — Not everyone thinks the construction of the proposed Dover Bypass is a good idea.
In May, the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department held an open forum designed to get public input for the proposed improvements to State Highway 7 around Dover. The proposals concern the construction of a new two-lane highway that will allow motorists to bypass the city.
According to the responses from some Dover residents, marked concerns for residential comfort and fairness and local economy are rising.
The following comments were provided to The Courier by the AHTD. These comments were made in written form during the public input period.
Betty Ann Lynch Burnett, a Dover resident, argued that the proposed highway changes threaten not only her personal property, but privacy.
"About three years ago, I built a new home on our place," said Burnett. "And now, the Arkansas Highway Department proposes to move within 500 feet of my front door. My family owns much of the property along old Highway 7 North. You have indicated that that section of the old highway will be eliminated."
Burnett also stated the proposed highway does nothing to accommodate the current residents, and that "the commuters are the segment of the population the Arkansas Highway Department is accommodating". Another Dover resident, William Grady, stated the project would cross over about 2,800 feet of his property.
"We believe that the impact on drainage of the acres has been seriously underestimated," said Grady. "All of the fields that will be cut in half will experience a drainage backup since the bypass will dam up the east to southwest water flow and drainage."
Grady is also concerned the noise will pose an annoyance to local residents.
"At 60 miles-per-hour, the traffic noise in our residential area will be terrible," he said.
James Lynch of Dover stated his concerns that the residents of Dover are being overlooked by the highway department.
"Looking at the proposal, how do you think that the Dover Fire Department is going to get access to the Highway 7," said Lynch. "This emergency service is a vital part of our community. At this time, there are no problems with them going to the north or south on the highway. It appears to me that the new routing will result in slow response times from the fire department."
Much like Grady, Lynch also asks that the highway department consider the losses that residents will take due to the proposed highway construction.
"Our family has lost property to the highway department every time that Highway 7 has been improved," Lynch said. "I feel it would be only fair for us to get our property back from the state when they are finished using it."

Cohen has been affiliated through various partnerships with the MSM almost since it opened in November 1994. Cohen became the operations manager in August of last year, and then the director.
Williamson said the MSM wanted to reorganize its infrastructure and asked Cohen to take over at the helm.
Even though there may be the director, don't be surprised if Williamson answers the phone when you call.
"I'm still here," Williamson said. "I'm just going to be more behind the scenes now. I'm really excited that Dale joined us and look forward to the future of the Main Street Mission."
Cohen said he was asked to join the staff in order to bring main-stream business practices and management into the organization.
Cohen, who is working on his doctorate in archeology, runs a nonprofit in Dallas that procures medically related products and distributes them to those in need.
He has been involved in several archaeological digs, mostly in the area near Galilee in Israel, and has managed a 200-250 person crew.
One of his first acts as director was to bring in Don Hall of Fort Smith as the chief financial officer to offer more financial accountability.
Cohen said anything that is given out as assistance or any type of purchases must be approved, not just by Cohen, but by Hall.
"We felt it was important for somebody without a lengthy history and ties to the Mission to come in with an unbiased view and a different outlook," Campbell said. "There have also been some people that have been let go. We really want to move forward focusing on financial accountability and being a vital asset to the community."
Cohen said he doesn't want MSM to be seen as a nonprofit with its hand always out, but instead, one that partners with other agencies and offers viable services to the entire community, not just the indigent and homeless.
MSM offers life skill training now along with its other services of free meals, food boxes and other assistance.
Cohen said he has found the community to be welcoming and to really have heart for mission work.
"The River Valley community is a very generous community," Cohen said. "The community has really gotten behind us before helping us with food drives. We ran out of food and the community was awesome with their response. We want to give back to the community and show our appreciation."
Cohen said he has met with several other nonprofits in the area and local pastors and continues to ask the same question, "What can we do as a community to help the homeless and the hungry?"

Nash is off. Dragic is off. Lowry will be very nice.
Nash is off. Dragic is off. Lowry will be very nice.
honestly im not sure lowry is a huge upgrade over jose. I feel like jose gets over looked and frankly he is a top 5 pg in terms of effiencey. IMO the only thing the raptors benefit with lowry is his defense, and rebounding.
To me it is really a toss up, i dont think its and upgrade but it just gives the raptors a more defensive team which i guess is the direction that we are heading towards.
The only thing that makes me skeptical is the bacterial infection lowry had last year (can he get back to form?) or if he just had a career year. If lowry and fields come to form i think we would be a playoff team
Calderon is incapable of doing anything right at the end of games, if Lowry can play in the last 2 minutes of a game than he'll be head and shoulders above Jose.
I am not sold on Lowry either. Would rather just not do anything and keep Jose. I haven't looked at the next years crop of free agents but they wont want to play here anyway so that is probably why.
But BC is going to feel compelled to save his job and do a bunch of moves that might end up hurting us in the end. I haven't really liked many of his moves since he got here. Now that he is backed into a corner and fighting for his job I have a feeling I am going to like these next couple of months worth of transactions even less.
That said if we do stand pat and Jose walks after next season due to this whole very ugly and public "PG of the future" business and we cant make some sort of deal or sign a free agent then I cringe at the thought of Bayless being the starting PG for the Raps.
Rockets are asking the world for Lowry, apparently.
Calderon, we always believed in you.
How about Eric Bledsoe from the LAC for ED davis both are on rookie contracts
Eric young and has alot upside
As nice a guy that Jose is, we have to assume that his relationship with Colangelo/Casey has soured due to the whole Nash fiasco. Anyone with any sense of self-respect should feel slighted by now. First Ford, then Jack, now Nash. How much more abuse should we expect Jose to accept?
From a basketball perspective, running with Jose for another year makes the most sense. But from a locker room cohesion perspective, I'm not sure it's a wise option.
I want nothing to do with Scola. Really liked him a couple years ago but he's breaking down and would be a step back defensively for out team. No need for Scola when we have Dre, Amir, Ed and Acy as natural 4's and Kleiza and JJ play their best ball as undersized 4's in smaller line ups. Kevin Martin could teach Ross a thing or two about getting to the free throw line but other then that I don't see the value as I'd rather Ross and Demar get tons of minutes and play through mistakes. Only way I see the Raps improving is from their young players or through trades. I have never been a fan of free agency for them.
your pal,
Drummond falling to 9 screwed up their projections.
Right now Colangelo is playing defense. He swung for the fences with Bargs and we have been paying for it ever since in every single way.
"I may be wrong ... but I doubt it"
It must be nice to be able to read minds.
Jose or Lowry, Lowry or Jose?
While JC racks up dimes and is a discerning shooter Kyle is the better scorer and has a Lawson like bull-in-a-china shop type of game. Lowry is also the stronger, better defender. I'd flip JC for Lowry whom McHale hates, and if he hates you he won't play you. I think the Rox high price tag is a bluff and I expect the actual value of any trade to include a pick and a player on an expiring deal. Jose and 2013 (crap draft) lotto protected first rounder for KL (and possibly a 2nd)? sign me up.
He's leaving $11 Million here...to make $20 more in L.A. think of all the outside revenue he will make ...its a huge market, TV RATINGS, TV appearencess...you dont get that here in T.O.
From a business and winning view point...you and I wouldve done the same thing...
NY AND LA have huge benefit of being big markets that allow big time side-income opportunites etc. Toronto at $36M is nothting compared to $20M in L.A. or NY.
Its all business.

Tulo to talk Home Run Derby with Puig
By Ken Gurnick / MLB.com
DENVER -- All-Star captain Troy Tulowitzki told reporters he would talk to Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig about participating in the All-Star Home Run Derby, even though Puig hasn't hit a home run since May 28 (125 at-bats), entering Thursday's game at Coors Field.
Dodgers manager Don Mattingly was asked if he was surprised Puig has been kept in the ballpark for so long.
"I'm a little surprised at that, but to me, he doesn't really look like a home-run guy," Mattingly said. "He has home-run power. But he's more a line-drive hitter."
Mattingly said the lack of home runs from Puig doesn't bother him.
"I look at how he's swinging the bat," Mattingly said. "To me, the Cardinals frustrated him a little. He hit some balls in Kansas City that could have been home runs anywhere else. Young guys get frustrated and start changing stuff. For me, he needs to stay in the middle of the field and he's better."
Hanley returns to lineup against Rockies
DENVER -- The Hanley Ramirez saga took a positive turn on Thursday, when his calf and shoulder passed on-field tests and he was returned to the Dodgers' starting lineup at shortstop for the opener of a four-game series with the Rockies, going 0-for-2 with two walks.
Ramirez has been nursing calf and shoulder ailments, but has somehow stayed off the disabled list, being used sporadically as a pinch-hitter. Manager Don Mattingly, who has flip-flopped on the likelihood of Ramirez being placed on the disabled list, watched the workout and said he was convinced Ramirez was healthy enough to play and get to the All-Star break.
"I feel he can run 100 percent," said Mattingly. "I don't think he's playing three-quarters. We're not afraid he's going to get hurt. The fact he can run changes things, because we don't have to pinch-run for him and use two players. He feels really good. He ran pretty good."
Mattingly said Ramirez probably wouldn't play all four games in Denver, and added that a two-game series in Detroit that follows was a factor in the decision because Ramirez can be the designated hitter in those games.
Ramirez, in the final year of his contract, said he's happy he hasn't been on the disabled list after two visits last year and predicted that he will finish strong after hitting .271 coming into Thursday's game and missing 16 starts because of various ailments.
"My numbers at the end of the year are going to be there," Ramirez said. "It's all about winning and winning and winning. They want me to take it easy. I can't do it. It's just the way I play the game."
Ramirez has 11 home runs and 46 RBIs, the same production as likely All-Star Yasiel Puig. But he said expectations are high.
"That's my fault. That's my fault," Ramirez said. "I should be hitting .700 with 40 homers and 200 RBIs. I just work hard every day to get better. That's all I can do."
Dodgers recall Arruebarrena, Triunfel to Triple-A
DENVER -- Infielder Carlos Triunfel's rough game Wednesday, and a minor injury to the throwing hand of Miguel Rojas, led the Dodgers to recall Cuban infielder Erisbel Arruebarrena on Thursday and return Triunfel to Triple-A Albuquerque.
Rojas was replaced at third base in the seventh inning on Wednesday by Juan Uribe. He said the fingernail split when a first-inning grounder by Jason Kipnis hit it. It was hit again by a Yan Gomes grounder in the sixth inning that led to his error. The finger went numb when Rojas singled off the end of the bat in the bottom of the sixth.
Triunfel had a defensive meltdown in the game. He was charged with one error, dropped a potential double-play relay and wasn't ready for a throw from the outfield during Cleveland's winning eighth-inning rally. Triunfel was claimed off waivers from Seattle earlier this year.
Arruebarrena spent two weeks with the Dodgers earlier this season, but was returned to Albuquerque after playing in only six games because the team didn't want him getting limited playing time. He was signed for five years and $25 million this Spring and hit .357 in 20 games for Albuquerque.
Dodgers sign six international free agents
DENVER -- The Dodgers confirmed six international signings effective Wednesday, headed by 16-year-old Venezuelan outfielder Romer Cuadrado for a reported $750,000.
The club also signed three teenagers from the Dominican Republic: 16-year-old outfielder Johan Calderon, 17-year-old outfielder Felix Osorio and 17-year-old shortstop Jefrey Souffront, as well as 17-year-old left-handed pitcher Leonardo Crawford from Nicaragua and 16-year-old first baseman Eric Meza from Mexico.
Also, right-handed pitcher Kameron Uter of Pace Academy, the 12th-round selection from last month's First-Year Player Draft, signed. The club has signed its top 18 picks and 31 of its 40 selections. That includes top pick Grant Holmes, who struck out five in two scoreless innings in his pro debut for the Rookie Level Arizona Dodgers on Wednesday.
Worth noting
• Reliever Scott Elbert continued his injury rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday night, throwing one perfect inning with two strikeouts. Elbert is expected to pitch again on Friday night, working back-to-back games for the first time since returning from three elbow operations.
