UNITED NATIONS (UN) weapons inspectors say that they've found no evidence of Iraq's "weapons of mass destruction." But that doesn't matter to the White House. Press Secretary Ari Fleischer says the U.S. "knows for a fact" that Iraq has chemical or nuclear weapons.
The only thing that matters to Washington's war makers is the new war they want to start. But tens of thousands will travel to Washington, D.C., San Francisco and other cities this weekend to say no to this war. These will be the latest in a series of protests--and another expression of the widespread questioning of Bush's war plans.
The new antiwar movement has grown faster and spread more widely than previous struggles. Now the challenge facing activists after January 18 is to take our message home--and turn the doubts about Bush's war into more opposition.
Here, Socialist Worker talks to longtime activists and left-wing writers about the issues and questions that we face in making the case against Bush's war.

Norman Solomon: Scene of a war crime to come
You were recently in Baghdad. What do you think of the Bush administration's claim that Iraq represents a threat to the U.S.?
The evidence isn't there. But the rhetoric is there. If there's a genuine threat between the U.S. and Iraq, it's flagrantly obvious which direction the threat is coming from.
The Bush administration has worked backwards from its goal, which is to launch a massive attack on Iraq. All of the actions and verbiage need to be seen in that context. The whole purported split in the administration between Colin Powell and Donald Rumsfeld has been much more about how to go to war, then whether to go to war.
In Baghdad last month, I was at the scene of a crime against humanity scheduled to occur. The devastation of the last dozen years can only be greatly increased by what the White House in store for the Iraqi people.
It's not enough to think that a war is wrong, or to say so in private situations. We've got to speak publicly and emphatically, through words and actions, in order to stop this war. And that means consistent communication and activism throughout our society--in the U.S., as well as elsewhere in the world.

Rania Masri: Suffering ten years of U.S. war
What are conditions like in Iraq after a decade of U.S. war?
The Iraqis have been suffering from the most intense siege in world history--12 years of sanctions. According to UNICEF, at least 500,000 children under the age of 5 have died in Iraq in the years of sanctions.
According to the UN Human Development Index, in 1990--before the war and sanctions--Iraq was 50th among 130 countries in Human Development. In 1995, Iraq had fallen to 106th among 174 countries. By 2000, it was 126th among 174 countries.
The International Physicians for Prevention of Nuclear War have predicted 28,000 to 260,000 deaths in Iraq in the first three months of a war. Typically in wars, there are three major trauma injuries to every direct death. How can Iraq's demolished health care system cope with the injuries? Skills and facilities are out of date. The medicines are lacking.
Some U.S. generals have talked about the city of Baghdad--an urban city of 5.5 million people--as a target to be heavily attacked by massive air strikes. How many Iraqis--mothers, fathers, daughters, sons--will be killed or maimed from the bombing? Thousands? Tens of thousands?
Consider the consequences if the Bush administration actually uses urban tactical nuclear weapons against Iraq. And will depleted uranium weaponry be used--again?
In the 1991 Gulf War, 300 tons of depleted uranium--a radioactive weapon--were used. World Health Organization studies show an increase in cancer rates and birth deformities in Iraq. The rates of leukemia in children have skyrocketed, while the medicines needed for treatment have been withheld by sanctions.
Iraqis will not be the only ones who will suffer and die. More than 159,000 U.S. Gulf War veterans are receiving disability payments from the Department of Veterans Affairs due to U.S. activities in the 1991 war. Thousands of veterans suffer from memory loss, dizziness, blurred vision, speech difficulties, nerve disorders, muscle weakness, skin disorders. Veterans also report incidences of cancers in themselves and birth defects in their children, symptoms remarkably similar to ones in Iraq.

John Pilger: Showing the world who's boss
What are the real aims of the Bush administration in this war?
The motives of the Bush gang are mixed. Yes, it's about oil, but that's not all. Above all, it's about demonstrating to the world who is the supreme ruler.
Since September 11, the enduring U.S. strategy of dominating world affairs by economic control and sheer military superiority has accelerated. In 1992, Secretary of State Colin Powell said that the United States needed sufficient power "to deter any challenger from ever dreaming of challenging us on the world stage."
The Bush gang believes its takeover of Iraq will achieve the first stage. Their goal, I believe, is the subjugation of China. In the short term, the bitterness felt in the Middle East and elsewhere, will be counterproductive and create the very terrorism that Bush says he is committed to stamping out.
As for the people of Iraq, who are seldom mentioned, as many as 500,000 could require medical treatment for serious injuries if the U.S. attacks, according to a confidential United Nations report leaked on January 8. The report is shocking; it estimates that about 3 million Iraqis will face "dire" malnutrition and require "therapeutic feeding."
It paints a picture of a stricken nation, with roads, bridges and railroads shattered, the electricity grid virtually destroyed and the oil industry paralyzed. More than 900,000 refugees could require food and shelter from the UN.
That is the price.

Anthony Arnove: The Bush gang's hypocrisy
Is the Bush war drive really about "weapons of mass destruction"?
George Bush wants us to think that he's going to war over these weapons. The other day, his press secretary, Ari Fleischer, said, "There is no question that the president thinks that Iraq is a threat to the United States."
This is nonsense. Iraq doesn't pose a meaningful threat to its immediate neighbors, let alone the United States. In fact, the CIA's own public assessment is that if sanctions were completely lifted, it would take Iraq until 2015 to develop long-range missile capacity.
This is not a defensive war, but an offensive one. New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman accurately called it "a war of choice." It's a war to expand U.S. hegemony, not only in the Middle East, but around the world.
It's also sheer hypocrisy for Bush to talk about his concern about countries developing weapons programs. The U.S. has not only built up and used more weapons of mass destruction than any other country, it's the world's leading proliferator of weapons.
The U.S. exported $12.1 billion in weapons in the year 2001 alone. "Even in the current economic turmoil, the United States [has] maintained its dominance as the leading weapons supplier," the New York Times reported recently.
And it should be no surprise that Israel was the largest buyer of weapons in 2001, the last year that we have the figures for. Israel is, in effect, an outpost of the U.S. empire in the Middle East, with more than 200 nuclear weapons. But Bush isn't talking about those weapons--or Israel's "contempt" for UN resolutions relating to its nuclear program or its brutal treatment of the Palestinians.
Washington has consistently protected Israel and other allies from criticism by the UN. Now it's cynically using the UN to create a fig leaf of legitimacy for its war of aggression on Iraq and its expansion of power over Iraqi and Middle Eastern oil.
It's important to remember that the U.S. used the cover of the UN to crush Iraq in the 1991 Gulf War. And for the past 12 years, the sanctions on Iraq have been UN sanctions.
The members of the UN Security Council can't be trusted to stop this war. The four other "permanent members," who have veto power in the council, are all angling to protect their own interests.
British Prime Minister Tony Blair, despite widespread opposition domestically, is determined to hitch his wagon to the Bush war machine. This allows Britain to, as he puts it, "punch above its weight."
France and Russia, in particular, care more about Iraqi oil concessions than they do about Iraqi lives. Russia hopes to recover $8 billion that it's owed by Iraq, and it wants an even freer hand to repress Chechens under the cloak of Bush's preemptive strike doctrine. The Chinese government likewise is using the doctrine to justify its actions against Muslim groups in Western China.
The unelected rulers of the Security Council will not stop this war. To do that, we need to build massive opposition here, and internationally, among working people and all the others who have no interest in Washington's war aims.
A leader of the British firefighters' union put the case against war brilliantly: "It's disgraceful to say that for people in this country who are prepared to risk their lives to save others, you can't find any extra money, but you can find at least a billion to bomb innocent men, women and children in Iraq."

Rashid Khalidi: Creating legions of enemies
What would be the consequences of a war with Iraq?
This war will mark not the end, but the beginning of our problems. Because however much Iraqis loathe their regime, they will soon loathe the American occupation that will follow its demise.
No expert on Iraq believes the United States can simply invade and then rapidly withdraw without a bloodbath and a regional power vacuum ensuing. None believe that the creation of a democracy in Iraq will be a swift or simple matter. Some believe it is not possible. And no one with any sense could believe that a one-person, one-vote democracy in a country with a 60 percent Shiite majority is the Bush administration's objective.
We will have a long American military occupation that will eventually provoke resistance. It took two years before the Iraqis revolted against British forces in 1920. They had almost chased them out until unrestricted air attacks restored British rule.
By a lengthy and bloody occupation of Iraq, by the establishment of U.S. bases there, by direct American control of Iraqi oil, we will be creating legions of new enemies throughout the Middle East.
This will provide the pretext for the Bush team to execute the next phase of their crackpot schemes, which involve marching on Tehran and Damascus and will provide them with new enemies to justify fattening a defense budget that can never be big enough for them.
But for those of us for whom empire is not part of our vision of the destiny of the United States of America and who do not want our children or grandchildren, our brothers or sisters fighting in places none of us can even find on a map, perhaps it is time to say enough.
It is enough.

Sharon Smith: The aim of this war is imperialist
How should the antiwar movement react to the Bush administration's talk of a "just" war?
The U.S. government's war aims--against Iraq or any other country--should be judged not by what it says they are, but by what it actually does. On this basis, it can easily be shown that the U.S. has never conducted a just war--and never will. Its own practice belies its rhetoric.
This is even the case with World War II--the so-called "good war," that pitted the U.S. against Nazi Germany. World War II was in reality not a war between democracy and fascism, but between superpowers over global dominance.
The U.S. claimed that it was defending "democracy against fascism," but in reality did precious little on behalf of Germany's Jews. The U.S. refused entry to tens of thousands of Jewish refugees desperate to escape Hitler's concentration camps. And the U.S. refused to act to stop the Holocaust--when it could have easily bombed the train tracks to Auschwitz, for example.
Japan had already offered to surrender when the U.S. dropped the atom bombs that incinerated Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The U.S. dropped the bomb not to win the war, but to secure its own postwar dominance over Asia.
As is often the case, the real nature of the war was most clearly exposed in its aftermath, when the main victors divided up the spoils. The U.S. and the Soviet Union carved up the world between them, with the U.S. dominating the "West" and the USSR the "East."
World War II established the U.S. as the world's biggest superpower--the rank it has held ever since. War and repression are the means by which the U.S. maintains its economic and political dominance.
There have been more than 150 wars throughout the world since the end of World War II, and these 150 wars have killed close to 25 million people at last count. The U.S. has played a key role, directly or indirectly, in most of them. Although each and every war has been conducted in the name of "freedom and democracy," the U.S. has always heaped death and destruction on the populations of the nations it conquers.
Until the collapse of the Soviet Union a decade ago, the Cold War provided the framework for the U.S. to claim it was fighting the spread of communism. The collapse of its main rival has allowed the U.S. to set its sights even higher in furthering its own global dominance in the post-Cold War world.
The events of September 11 provided the U.S. with an excuse to launch an open-ended "war on terrorism." But the actual aim in the coming war on Iraq, as in the war on Afghanistan--a war that killed thousands of Afghans in the name of fighting terrorism and left the survivors under the rule of the same band of drug-dealing warlords as before the Taliban--is thoroughly imperialist.
So the U.S. war against Iraq is not a "distraction" from the "real" war on terrorism, as many claim, but an integral component of the U.S. government's strategy to dominate the Middle East and its oil.
No claim about Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction--with or without a UN mandate--can justify U.S. war against Iraq. The UN supported both the 1991 war against Iraq, which killed 200,000 Iraqis, and the 11 years of sanctions that followed the war, which have killed over 1 million people.
Meanwhile, scores of UN resolutions condemning the Israeli occupation and brutal repression of Palestinians go ignored, simply because the U.S. backs Israel. Bush's charges about Saddam Hussein's "weapons of mass destruction" sound pretty empty when compared to the death and destruction that the U.S. has inflicted on the rest of the world.

David Barsamian: The media marches off to war
What role has the media played in hyping war with Iraq?
When the U.S. marches to war, the media march with it. And within the media, the generals generally are heavily armed with microphones. I wish we had no-air zones for them.
But that's unlikely to happen when ABC-TV and NPR's Cokie Roberts gushes, "I am, I will just confess to you, a total sucker for the guys who stand up with all the ribbons on and stuff, and they say it's true, and I'm ready to believe it."
Who are the "experts" now selling the war? Just look at one three-day period in early January. On PBS's "The NewsHour" on January 2, the lead story was Iraq. The guests were Patrick Lang from the U.S. Army and John Warden from the U.S. Air Force. They were joined by Geoffrey Kemp, a war hawk and ex-National Security Council staffer.
The discussion totally focused on strategies and tactics. How many troops would be needed to "do the job"? What would the bombing campaign look like? And the inevitable: "When will the war begin?" It's kind of like placing bets on a bowl game.
Suarez played the classic role of the compliant questioner. There were no uncomfortable inquiries about the UN weapons inspection process, casualty figures, international law, the UN Charter or the notorious U.S. practice of double standards on Security Council resolutions.
Instead, the pundits pontificated on troop deployments, carrier battle groups and heavy infantry forces, such as the 3rd Mechanized Division. Warden wondered aloud if "we need those ground forces in place before we initiate hostilities?" Then he interestingly added that there is "no Iraqi offensive capability outside their borders."
The next day, CNN scored a general trifecta. Aaron Brown, anchor of "News Night," had on Gen. Wesley Clark, the former NATO commander now on the CNN payroll; Army Brig. Gen. David Grange; and Air Force Major Gen. G. Don Shepperd. The whole discussion took place under the banner of "Showdown Iraq."
On January 4, Scott Simon, host of NPR's "Weekend Edition," had retired Marine Lt. Gen. Bernard Trainor on. Trainor is now senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. Without any sense of irony or history, the two talked about the possibility of the Iraqi military being charged with war crimes.
Trainor said that the Iraqis "all know about the Nuremberg trials." But what they left out was that the central part of the indictment against the Nazis was the "planning and waging of aggressive war."
In 1991, the U.S. deliberately targeted water purification plants, sewage treatment facilities and power plants in Iraq, knowing that it would produce widespread disease and death. That cannot be a topic for polite discussion. And it isn't. War crimes are "their" crimes not ours.
And now the United States is again planning a war of aggression against Iraq.

Rahul Mahajan: They don't care about freedom
Bush claims that the coming war on Iraq is justified because of Saddam Hussein's record as a dictator. How would you respond to that?
Saddam Hussein is a dictator, and the Iraqi state's internal repression is extreme. This has no connection whatsoever with the U.S. drive to war--just note the lack of official acknowledgment when Iraq took the unprecedented step of freeing almost every political prisoner.
In the 1991 Iraqi Intifada [after the end of the Gulf War], the U.S. intervened to keep the Iraqi regime intact because it was a dictatorship. In Thomas Friedman's words, it wanted an "iron-fisted military junta" in power instead of a government with real popular representation. This was not just passive, by allowing the use of helicopter gunships by the regime, but active, by disarming rebels and allowing the Republican Guard through U.S.-occupied territory.
Since 9/11, the United States has created a sham puppet government in Afghanistan, sabotaging even the heavily U.S.-dominated loya jirga process because too much independence was creeping in; has fostered a coup attempt in Venezuela; and has indicated that the Palestinians must elect a leadership that the U.S. likes--all steps that are inimical to real democracy.
If they take over in Iraq, they will undoubtedly once again engineer some process with a veneer of democratic legitimacy, but the end result will be a U.S.-dominated regime. It's a truism that nobody can give you freedom (or democracy), but it's even more the case when the agent in question has no interest in giving it to you.
Regarding other humanitarian concerns, it's quite possible that a postwar regime may be worse for the people of Iraq. They are currently heavily dependent on a government food-rationing system whose operation has been described by one of the chief UN officials in Iraq as "second to none."
Such a system is fundamentally at odds with the free market fundamentalism emanating from Washington. If it's scrapped, the Iraqi underclass may find itself worse off than now, even if sanctions are lifted.
It's remarkable that anyone thinks a government whose solution to the problems plaguing Africa is water privatization and attempted denial of access to cheap AIDS drugs is, by some bizarre disconnect, motivated by humanitarian concerns when it comes to military intervention.

My name is Brian C–, and I believe in the positive effect that organized sports such as basketball have on children.
I cannot remember the first time I picked up a basketball, but one thing I am sure of is that it was a pretty special moment in my life. People are born with specific talents and specialties, and one of mine was basketball. I had a love for the game, a burning passion to play and be a part of it. For many, many years, I ate, slept, and drank basketball. I could not get enough of it. I remember the endless hours I would shoot hoops outside by myself, I remember watching the NBA every weekend during basketball season, and I remember not being able to wait for my father to come home so we could play together.
When reflecting upon the few years of my life that have seemingly flown by, many of my best memories consist of basketball in some way. It has influenced my life in ways I never realized at the time. I met so many great friends during my time on the courts, some of which I am still friends to this very day.
I kept playing basketball competitively from grade school, to middle school, and on to high school. Playing taught me many life lessons that I can fall back upon to help me through my sometime tumultuous time in college and life. It taught me not to be lazy, if you want something, you have to earn it. No one is going to give you anything. If an achievement is reached easily, it is probably not worth achieving in the first place. It taught me how to be a part of a team, something that every kid should learn at a young age. Basketball also taught me to take care of myself, mentally and physically.
In 2003, my sophomore year of high school, I ended my basketball "career." Not because I was not talented enough to make the team, and definitely not because I did not love the game. I still love the game to this day. It was because it was not the same to me. My father had died three years earlier of a heart attack, and even though I kept playing for those three long years, it just did not feel right without him. He was there every step of the way for me, and that commitment has instilled values in me that are priceless. When I become a father, I hope that I can give my children the same sense of commitment and love that my father gave to me.
It was the mental preparations from all those years of hard work that allowed me to walk away so easily from the game that I loved. Without the game of basketball, my life very easily could have gone down the wrong path.

She needs to get licked more but I love her????
MILF Videos » Alby gets ass-fucked while her husband watches
Unable to play the trailer? Try one of these: MP4 1280X720 MP4 640X360 WMV 640X360
Alby Daor, a 47-year-old wife and mom, is about to have anal sex on-camera for the first time, which makes sense considering that her first scene at 40SomethingMag.com was her first time having any kind of sex on-camera. This is her second. "I'm excited. A little nervous," Alby said before the scene. "I guess this stud I'm with is kind of large, but I think I'll be okay." She was more than okay. She was great, sucking and fucking the 29-year-old's cock, taking it deep in her shaved, MILF pussy and her tight asshole then kneeling on the floor for the facial. One more thing: Alby's husband was sitting just a few feet away while she was fucking. But this isn't a cuckold scene. "This is some sexual role play for us in real life," Alby said. It's nice to have a supportive husband, isn't it, Alby? "I like what I'm doing here this week and having sex on-camera," she said.

Blizzard's long awaited fantasy action-RPG sequel Diablo III is set for its PC launch on May 15th. But there's also another big game in the same genre that could be out very soon after Diablo III. It's Torchlight II from Runic Games, which was formed a few years ago by a number of former Blizzard team members.
The original Torchlight came out in late 2010 and received lots of great reviews and, more importantly, solid sales even though it was first distributed as a digital download title. Runic Games has been working on the sequel ever since but a planned release date of late 2011 came and went.
Now Joystiq reports that, according to Runic Games CEO Max Schaefer, the company would "ideally" like to release Torchlight II about a month after Diablo III comes out, which would put Torchlight II's launch sometime in mid-June. He added, "We're going as fast as we can. It'll be worth the wait, it'll totally be worth the wait. In the long run, people will be happy we took this extra time."
The article points out that even though Torchlight II will be released for just $20, it will have a number of features that Diablo III, which will cost over twice as much, won't have. That includes an offline mode, LAN support and mod tools for others to make their own Torchlight II levels.

Chevrolet Avalanche Engine Problems
The new place to discuss your Av engine woes!
I have a 2003 avalance. while driving down the highway or road, with a full tank of gas the engine die for no reason. I have to pull over to the side of the road and crank it back up. It starts without a problem.0
With a full tank of gas the engine will die for no reason.0
jerrywimer Posts: 588Dirty fuel filter? Fuel pump failing? Those would be the two things I'd check first. Since your Av is a 2003, the fuel filter should be inline in the fuel lines along the frame rail somewhere, relatively easy to get to and replace. Newer models have incorporated the filter into the pump itself (both of which are submerged in the fuel tank, and MUCH harder to get to from all reports).
Good luck, and I hope it's as simple as needing the filter changed.0
Just bought a used 2004 Chevy Avalanche. Love the truck. Nevertheless, a few weeks later i get this chirping noise from the engine. Belts, pulleys, tensioners... Gotta parade to participate in so i run it over to Sears who replaced the AC tensioner. 30 mins later the noise returned. They said they "missed" diagnosed and the noise was coming from the alternator. Probably the bearings. I replaced the alternator myself. 30 mins of riding later, the noise returned. Sorta a chirping, squealing, belt/pulley noise. Not seeing any ill effects but pretty annoying. Any ideas?0
andromador Posts: 2I have have a 03 AV and I hear a noise when I first crank it up. Sounds like a few lifters are not primed up. It only last two seconds and quits. It does it cold or hot, I was wandering if this is the piston slap that I read about in a earlier message? Also can the marbling noise in the intermediate steering shaft be fixed by taking it apart and greasing the universal joint, or do I need to replace it?0

upstech Posts: 1While driving down the street the truck lost power.When I tried to crank it backup it start when I turned the key :sick:0
heath2002 Posts: 1I have a 2002 avalanache 2500 8.1 that just dies going down the road. I see others with the same problem what was done to fix it.0
I had a 2001 silverado Z71 on a lease, I had this vhichle 61 mo. on a 60 mo. lease. I loved this truck, but at 9,200 mi I got a ticking noise in the engine, well over and over I went to the dealership, and Finally they admitted this was the "piston slap" that GM was getting a bad rap over. I did not know where to turn because the dealership was saying ther is NOTHING we can do to fix it. I got a tip from an attorney friend of mine, and he said go to the BBB and file a complaint. Well I took his advice and sure enough! Chevrolet called me 2 days later. The lady flat out asked me what I wanted them to do, basically name it. I told her I was a huge fan of Chevrolet and liked my truck, just back up what your dealership is saying "it is not a problem to worry with." She said no problem, we will extend warranty FULL WARRANTY up to 115,000 mi or 72 mo. Well I was ok with that.. So now my lease on that vehicle was fullfilled and I bought a New 2007 Chevy Avalanche. I purchased this Oct. 2006. I now have 10,200 mi and Guess what!!! It started ticking! I just picked it up from the dealer 3 hr ago and they said "WE CAN"T FIX IT"!!!! If you have piston slap I would file W/ BBB.com You will get results!!! Looks like I will be doing it again too...0
:confuse: :confuse: :confuse: Does anyone else have a cold start ticking noise from the 5.3L AV engine, and if so what is your dealer or mechanic saying about it? I need help.... My dealer says it is because Chevrolet has hydralic lifters, and when the oil is cold they tend to ping?? All replys WELCOME.........0
rocky07 Posts: 9sparky75 and andromador......I have a cold engine ticking but it's not piston slap. Before you you are convinced by a dealer that it is piston slap, go to www.pistonslap.com and listen to the audio sample. Piston slap can occur in one or more of the cylinders depending on your vehicle. My '07 does NOT sound like that. And, if you have an '07, it is very likely that you do NOT have piston slap since GM changed the method for matching pistons to cylinders (by size & tolerances) for the '07 model year. Incidently, the link I referred to will give you a description and reason behind piston slap. Dealers often use piston slap as an excuse since the problem is widely known.
The tap I have, sparky75, is related to the hydraulic lifters however not as the dealer explained to you. My tap is NOT at every cold engine start. It is only on cold starts after one of the valves for 1, 4, 6 or 7 cylinders (they are the 4 cylinders that shut down in the V4 mode) while one the high-point of the cam. Then, during the cool down period, the hydraulic pressure bleeds off. Then, when started cold, there is valve lash for over 1 minute (sometimes for 2 minutes) until the hydraulic pressure is sufficient to build up the lifter. The resulting tap is the rocker arm slamming on the valve top as a single, metal-to-metal tapping sound.
I still have no resolution with my dealer, but hadn't thought of the BBB as an avenue. Might try that one.0
sp7128 Posts: 2what was your problem/cure.......my 8.1 started this last night and I noticed some play in the serpentine belt tensioner,,,but I know gm is famous for alternator noise....85k miles0
alanm311 Posts: 1I own a 2004 Avalanch, 87K , sqeaking, ( I have changed my tensoiner and belt, last week, the next day the sqeeking is back. . same issues you guys are having, have you fiqured this one out. please advise
rick109 Posts: 1Not sure if this helps any, but did you check the lower belt and tensioner? I just changed the belts (yes, the hidden one on the bottom and behind the serpentine belt) on my 04'-5.3 and had a problem with the bottom tensioner. I didn't find it until I went to replace the serpentine.
Hope it helps,
waldo560 Posts: 2I have an 02' 2500 that does the same thing. Engine dies going down the road, pull over wait 10 seconds engine restarts. Will also crank and crank sometimes when starting and will not start. Wait 10 seconds and it will fire right up. Can anyone help me with this. Have taken it to repair shop and they cannot figure it out.0
Just left the dealership and they are telling me it is a bad lift spring or the cam shaft going bad that the engine would need to be replaced. Said they can put a used engine in it with 62,000 for the same price as to tear down and replace cam and lifters. Anybody else with similar problems? Also just had the oil changed and now the taping noise has stoped.0
I have 130,000 and it is happening as you discribed. The dealership say's it is not the pulley or belt it is intenal.
Anybody else with same problem?0
thadlooch Posts: 1I have the same problem its been happening for awhile with me i found out that its the ECM fuse it keeps blowing.But with mine my truck doesnt start unless i replace the fuse. From what i been told is that the fuel pump might be going but also been told that it might be the distributor going as well. it actually just shut off me on yesterday but for now i jus keep extra fuses in my truck with me for the time being.0
boggsy1 Posts: 2My truck has been running "rough", loss of power, sputtering. Check engine light is on intermitten. I had Auto Zone read the code and it was a mass airflow sensor. I bought a new sensor and it seemed fine, the engine light went out. Today (one day later) my truck wont start. I thought I may have gotten a bad sensor so I got another one. I will try it tomorrow. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem. Thanks!0
chris_4325 Posts: 3I'm looking for a new car/truck/SUV and here is my dilemma: I like Avalanche's look, but Tundra's reliability. Currently I have 1999 Ford F-150, and never had any problems with it. I bought it brand new and now it has 140K miles on it. Once a while I need a pick-up truck, and I'd like to enjoy the nice look of it. The bed in a new F-150's appears much bigger to what I'm used to and I don't like it. I like the appearance of Chevy Avalanche, but I've read that people are having some problems with it. On the other hand Tundra would be more reliable, but it is rather a typical pick-up truck. I might also add that my teenage sons dream of Avalanche. Can you advise me please which car to choose from, or give me some thoughts to start with?
farthur Posts: 1Yep similar problem 2003 avalanche but dealer took down engine Bad news liffter out cam shaft out also Hmm 68000 miles never hot rodded I am 69 years over this stage oil changed before recomended used best amsoil on the market am told not worth fixing motor probably better to put in new crate engine would be more cost effective as new waranty 7 years 100000 milesI am going through GM motors to see if I can get some help on this problem but told do not hold my breath. Well have serious thoughts about GM and waranty. See what happens with GM customer satisfaction responce in the mean time on rental. Oh crate engine about $4500 and $1800 t0 take out install new motor with putting tin on new engine can"t trade off junker price only screwed Any answers??????????????
daddydoggy Posts: 1ive got a 06' avalanche i bought used couple years ago and it was runnin good until
today when the engine light on the dash came on. its got about 57,000 on it. and i cked the antifreeze level was low? umm. i leveled it off. also noticed the volt meter in the dash was showin alittle high 14.8 ? might be allright i guess. also the gas cap was loose so i retightened it. my wife drives it........everything seems allright.
all the fluid levels, battery connections. no weird engine noises.
any ideas????????? :confuse:0
Deane45 Posts: 3I have an 2003 Avalanche and replaced the motor at 53,000 miles. Talk about sick. Screw GM and American made if all I get is a POS that I had to pay over $7,000 to repair. It had been a good driving vehicle but I don't think I will buy another. Currently, the electronic display is stuck on whether I should select english, french, or espanol. In the name of technology I can't see how many miles I have without dropping more serious cash. I think I need to stop before I get on a ranting ti-raid.0
cedens Posts: 1I purchased a used 2007 Avalanche from a non GM dealer with about 29,000 miles at purchase it now has 35,000 miles 1,000 hours on it. The dealer I purchased from serviced the vehicle with oil change. Time for my first oil change the lifters started to make loud noise similar to a diesel at idle and check engine light came on then started to misfire on number six cylinder. I drove it to dealer for service and oil change and dealer stated error codes P0521 and P0300. During the oil change the dealer stated that engine sludge was the problem. Recommended pulling the oil pan replacing the oil pump all not covered by the warranty "due to lack of maintenance" and possible replaces lifters or total engine replacement. I gave the OK to pulling the oil pan and replacing the oil pump but wanted to see the pan before cleaning. I looked in the oil pan no sludge present pan was clean but some carbon flakes less than one fourth the size of coffee grounds in the sump. I also noticed some larger flakes in the oil pickup screen. I told the dealer to flush the engine two times and change the oil then try to see what happens. Lifters are a little quitter now but check engine light is on and still misfires on one cylinder. Any help would be appreciated.0
tsto Posts: 1Does anybody know where the camshaft sensor is located on a 04' avalanche 5.3L? :confuse:0
My 2003 Avalache was idling in a parking lot and quit running which it never has before. Trying to restart it, it will turn over but not start. The check engine diagram is now on in the instrument panel which also has never done before?? Any suggestions?? I checked the fuses and disconnected the battery, still didnt work? After continuous attempts you can also smell gas so I am assuming its not a fuel issue. Help please!!!0
I have a 2002 Avalanche with 150k miles on it and have had only one mechanical problem with it and that is the front wheel bearing went bad. I love my truck and probably will never buy anything else. In fact due to the snow and ice I let my wife use it several times this winter and now she wants one so we are doing some shopping. Definitely would recommend the Avalanche.0
My 02 did the same thing right after an oil change, I went to Wal-Mart and bought a $2.50 bottle of STP oil treatment and it runs like a champ again.0

From Spoken Word to Digital Audio File
The illustration above at the top of this page lays out all the possible steps from a conversation to an archived disk. I wish it were simpler.
All the links in the chain
Sound from a conversation is recorded, and becomes digital (if it wasn't already born that way), and then the digital audio file is recorded onto a CD. The steps in the chain follow that general path, but there are variations in the exact equipment used to get you there.
A microphone (or set of microphones) captures the sound and converts it to an electrical signal. The strength of that signal is lower than your standard audio signal (such as, say, what is driven to your earphones from an earphone jack). Microphones (or mics, pronounced "mikes") come in a dizzying array of offerings, each designed for different recording environments, and to pick up sounds in different ways.
(Usually included in a recorder, but sometimes not.) A preamp is used to boost the microphone's low signal (called mic level) to the same strength of signal that is used in standard audio equipment (called line level; a headphone port on audio equipment is line level)
Most recording devices, if they take microphone input, have a pre-amp inside of them. Some devices will record audio at line level, and need to have an external preamp. Also, you may read of hear discussion about "quiet preamps"—in that usage, quiet is good. That's because you don't want to add noise to the signal at the same time that you boost it from the "quieter" level to line level.
Here are a ton of different options. Magnetic tape (often cassette) to minidisc to digital storage formats—flash memory media (non removable or removable), to internal disk drive (iPods, iRiver, Cowan iAudio, Archos Gmini). Lots to choose from, here. Things to weigh and matters to hem and haw over. (I really wish this part were easier and slam dunk.)
USB Device
An external device (or external sound card) that converts audio signal from microphone or a recorder into digital format. Plug in a microphone or a tape recorder in one end, plug the other end into your computer. May or may not be necessary, depending on the rest of your setup.
Sometimes your computer is the recorder, other times it is what receives and processes the audio recorded elsewhere. The computer is the place where you'll burn audio and data CDs of your interviews.
Not all disks are alike. Gold CDs use a substance that is longer lasting than other formats. After going to all this trouble, you want your disk to last, don't you?
Different audio configurations, explained
That animated illustration shows the different ways to put together an audio recording system. Here's a bit more explanation of each:
USB Mic + Computer
The shortest route is a USB microphone to a computer. The audio is "born digital" by the time it leaves the microphone, and the computer is the recording device. I guess there's a pre-amp inside the microphone.
Standard Mic + USB Device + Computer
Use any microphone, plug it into a USB device plugged into a computer. The computer is the recording device.
Standard Mic + Recorder + Computer
Use a microphone plugged into a recorder, and directly transfer audio from the recorder to the computer. This works in two ways:
If the audio is born digital, you transfer the audio from the recorder to the computer using a form of file transfer, usually through a USB connection, though it can be Firewire as well.
If the audio is analog, or you're doing an analog transfer from the headphone port to your computer's audio in jack, you'll be playing the recording on the recorder while simultaneously recording it onto your computer. I've used this method with cassette tapes and with older forms of minidisc.
Standard Mic + External Preamp + Recorder + Computer
This is similar to the previous system except that it adds an external preamp. It also happens to be my system setup. I've got an audio recording device that records line-line audio—it doesn't have a mic port—so I have a box with a built-in preamp that works with my recorder.
If it's got a USB, it's digital
Just a note about USB. Whatever the device, if it has a USB port to it, then the signal leaving the device through that port is digital. If you're trying to tell the difference between one kind of thing and another, the plugs and ports are a guide for you: If it has analog plugs (headphone jack or minijack), the signal is analog. If it has USB or Firewire or the flash memory itself, then the data is digital.

Plating subclones for fluorescent screening
For every 12 colonies picked, you will need:
21ml appropriate maintenance media
1. Choose 12 wells on the 96-well plate that contain one fluorescent colony. Choose from the lowest density plate first.
2. Remove media from selected wells, rinse once with 200ul PBS, then add 50 ul trypsin. Watch to see when cells detach.
3. While cells are trypsinizing: put 1 ml media in each well of 12-well plate put 0.5ml media into each of the 12 chambers mark each well and chamber with name of a chosen well from the 96 well plate
4. Once cells detach, to each well add 200ul of media triturate 5x to suspend cells and remove 200ul suspension plate one drop of suspension in appropriately marked chamber place the rest of the cells in appropriate well of 12 well plate
5. Add 200 ul media to picked wells of 96-well plate, this makes a backup from straggling cells.
6. Place cells in incubator.
7. Check chambered slides for fluorescence 1-2 days later.
8. Plate upto 6 good colonies in T-75, using all cells in the 12 well plate when confluency is 50-90%.

Bacteria live in or on every one of us. Most are useful to us, for example, they help to digest our food. But some bacteria can make us ill. We sometimes need antibiotics to make us better again. Antibiotics are drugs that kill bacteria or slow their growth. This helps the body to heal itself. A major disadvantage of antibiotics is that bacteria can become invulnerable to them. We call this resistance. That's why doctors need to be reluctant to prescribe antibiotics. The more often you use antibiotics, the greater the risk that bacteria will become resistant. Infections with resistant bacteria are more difficult to treat.
Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is a relatively small problem in the Netherlands thusfar, but is regarded as a threat as it is a much greater problem in most other countries. This is because the only way to get antibiotics in the Netherlands is if a doctor prescribes them for you. Doctors only prescribe antibiotics when it is necessary, so not in case of viral infections such as flu or a cold. Furthermore, healthcare institutions are aware of this problem. If someone in a hospital or nursing home is infected with resistant bacteria, this patient is cared for in isolation and the nursing staff involved take strict hygiene measures. This prevents this bacterium from making other people sick.
Veterinarians also prescribe antibiotics, mainly for livestock farms. In the Netherlands, minimal amounts of antibiotics are used to treat people, but in the past relatively large amounts of antibiotics were used at livestock farms. These days, however, the use of antibiotics in animals has been greatly reduced.
The most common resistant bacteria in the Netherlands are listed below. Europe, too, focuses primarily on these bacteria:

French horn stolen from Derbyshire designer's home
A French horn that is the only one of its kind has been stolen from the home of its creator in Derbyshire.
Thieves broke into Tom Fisher's home and took the horn, worth about £5,000, which he says will take six months to replace.
"I drove around the Peak District on my bike the next day hoping to find it in a hedge, but no luck," he said.
His insurer New Moon has offered a £500 reward for anyone who can help trace the instrument.
'Really want it back'
"I spent hundreds of hours on this horn - designing and engineering it - this is a major blow," Mr Fisher said.
"I can only make two a year. I really want it back and was hoping they might fling it over a hedge."
A Derbyshire Police spokesman said the investigation into the theft on 15 May is continuing and appealed to anyone with information to contact them.
New Moon, a specialist firm that insures musical instruments and guns, said the horn was stolen property so anyone buying it should contact the company for the reward.
The distinctive horn has three normal valves and a fourth piston valve in the middle of the instrument that makes it different from most traditional French horns, Mr Fisher said.
A US inventor has made a similar instrument, but this one is the only one of its kind made in Europe, he added.
"It is unique - I had been working on it since Christmas - four or five months at least."
The horn - called a Fisher FD3 - is described on the Fisher Horn website as "very balanced to hold" and "a particularly responsive instrument".

TravelStart sale to eTRAVELi triggers major Scandinavian power shift
Significant moves in Scandinavian online travel with news that TravelStart has sold its European business to Swedish rival eTRAVELi, a consortium of web-based travel brands.
TravelStart founder Stephan Ekbergh will retain the rights to the global brand, including the South African division of the company, and continue to operate the business in Africa with a view to expanding in other emerging markets such as the Middle East.
The undisclosed deal gives the eTRAVELi group a major presence in the Nordic market through its wide portfolio of consumers brands including TravelStart, FlyBillet, Seat24 and GoToGate.
It is estimated the acquisition will land eTRAVELi a 30% share of the marketplace.
Most importantly for eTRAVELi it will have improved its bargaining hand with the increasingly powerful airlines in the Scandinavian region.
Ekbergh will run the global TravelStart business from Cape Town. He says: "We want to be the undisputed leaders in continental Africa and Middle East. This will also give us a chance to develop next generation travel technology."
The former-MrJet founder created TravelStart in 1999 and grew the business to establish it in 11 markets including Norway, Sweden, Denmark, South Africa, Holland and Finland.
UPDATE: Ekbergh has posted a personal account of his reason to sell the Nordic elements of the TravelStart business, including this intriguing segment:
"Looking back at old business plans I see that we had set out to have a 10% online market share in the Nordics and we achieved 11%, according to Phocuswright. I am NEVER going to make that kind of stupid plan again. If we can't have 70% I'm not even going to bother going into a new market."

Blue skies and cool weather provided the perfect setting for "Christmas On the Avenue," a parade and community party that drew more than 1,000 people to the historic NW 5th Avenue neighborhood.
Blue skies and cool weather provided the perfect setting for "Christmas On the Avenue," a parade and community party that drew more than 1,000 people to the historic NW 5th Avenue neighborhood.
After a 41-year hiatus, the parade and party ushered in the holiday season last Saturday with the event, which was sponsored by People, Organized, Working, Empowered, Renewed, or P.O.W.E.R. Group, which is under the umbrella of the historic Lincoln High School Alumni Association.
Along the parade route from NW 3rd Street to 11th Street, parade participants were greeted with cheers by the adults and children who lined the streets. At the community party, which was held at the Tot Lot on NW 5th Avenue and 10th Street, Santa Claus provided gifts to 200 children.
Collins Duncan, director of Duncan Brothers Funeral Home, also located on NW 5th Avenue, served as grand marshal of the parade, which featured 35 units consisting of the Gainesville Police Department, the Reichert House, the Divine Divas Motorcyle Club of Ocala, the Red Hat Divas of Gainesville, the Gainesville chapter of the Charmettes, the Buffalo Riders Horse Riding Club, former FAMU queen Candace White, newly elected School Board member Leanetta McNealy, the Gainesville Job Corps Center, Alachua County NAACP president Evelyn Foxx, Gaineville city Commissioner Yvonne Rawls, Alachua County Tax Collector Von Fraser, and many more.
Organizers of the event were pleased and ready to do it again next year.
"I'm very pleased with the turnout," said Isaac Jones, one of the founders of P.O.W.E.R. and co-owner of Two Friends Coffee Shop, also located on NW 5th Avenue. "We had three weeks to plan this one. For next year, we will have one year to plan and it will be bigger and better."
Albert White, also a founder of P.O.W.E.R. and co-owner of Two Friends, said the event was exceptional. "This was excpetional. This was nostalgic," White said. "Folks are going crazy about the parade."
"I'm beyond happy," said Terri Bailey, another member of P.O.W.E.R. "It turned out well," she said. "It will be better organized next year."
But, the event garnered high praise from those participating in the activities.
Arnette Wilson said she was happy to return to NW 5th Avenue to celebrate the holidays. "This is a very special ocassion," said Wilson, adding that she was proud to share the ocassion with her 2-year-old great niece, Asiya McDonald. "I'm so proud to bring my great niece to this celebration. After so many years, we're coming back to 5th Avenue for Christmas.
"This is great," said John Alexander, executive director of the Reichert House. "It gives us a sense of community."
LaVern Porter, director of the LaVern Porter Dancers, said the parade was wonderful and a long time coming.
"I'm having a great time," said Lilly McGee, a member of the Red Hat Divas. "I'll be back next year — if the Lord is willing."
Bettye Baskin, a member of the Charmettes, said it was nice to see the community come out to celebrate. "The crowd was cheerful," Baskin said. "I saw friends I haven't seen in a long time."
Anita Jenkins, manager of Library Partnership on NE 16th Avenue, said she enjoyed seeing old friends and classmates from historic Lincoln High School.
"It's been a long time coming," said Jenkins. "I think they (organizers) did a great job. It brought out a lot of people into the community."

I believe that losing someone you love makes you stronger and powerful. When I was 10 years old my dad passed away from a horrible disease called AIDS. I was not mature enough to comprehend what was going on. I was sad, I knew I would never see my dad again for the rest of my life but it was not such a big deal for me. All the pain I felt after realizing that my dad was gone and the reason why he had died was extremely overwhelming. As time passed by and I got older, I started to miss my dad more than ever. Now that I am 17 years old and in my last months of high school I wish my dad was here with me telling me what to do next. Sometimes I feel like I'm alone in the world because my own family does not believe in me. My family thinks that I am not going to finish high school and graduate because I don't have a father to guide me. That makes me so angry and I promised my dad I would graduate from high school and college and become someone in life.
I want to prove my family wrong. I want to show them that
I can do it. Even if my dad is not here with me physically, he is in my heart. I believe losing my dad made me stronger and that he is the main reason I keep trying my best to be successful. I know my dad is proud of what I am doing and of who I am. All the things that were said about my brother and me now just make me laugh. Because of my dad's death, I'm a strong young woman who's family doubted and who's on her way to college to become someone successful in life.
I understand that bad and hurtful things need to happen so that we can learn how strong and independent we are. At first it hurts and you cry like a baby but then you realize that life has to continue and that the only thing you can do is try your best and not give up.

VIDEO: 'Attempted murder' probe of teens who plied boy of FOUR with beer
AN OUTRAGEOUS video showing a lad of just FOUR being given booze could lead to attempted murder charges.
The clip shows a group of adults sitting crossed-legged in ring with the child urging him to drink beer from a plastic cup.
The grown-ups watch on in delight as the youngster takes gulps of the alcohol to help wash down nuts he's eating from a communal plastic bag in the middle of the circle.
It mirrors the case of the 7-year-old addict who smokes 30 cigarettes a day who started puffing away aged three.
Or the lad of 5 from Kazakhstan who likes a drink and a smoke.
Every one of the six laughs as the youngster swills the alcohol after munching the snacks, clearing enjoying the attention.
The little lad shakes his head at one point because he isn't enjoying the bitter taste of the beer during the footage that lasts just over a minute and a half.
But the group encourage him to keep sipping and after finishing the 4-year-old tosses the cup away before coughing.
The clip went viral after being shared via WhatsApp and social media including Facebook.
Police have arrested two teenagers – one reported to be an uncle of the tot – and are on the hunt for the four others in Tiruvannamalai in the state of Tamil Nadu State in south-east India.
The suspects could face attempted murder charges.
The parents of the boy who were tracked down said they had known nothing about what was going on and had left the child in the care of his grandmother.
In Britain, a baby aged two was given up for adoption to protect him for his chain-smoking parents' permanent cloud of smoke in their home.
